Geist Christian creates urban prairie

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com

A large prairie teeming with wildlife and containing acres of native blooms exists at 126th Street and Promise Road in Fishers. Crucial to necessary nature biodiversity and a hands-on learning experience for kids and adults, the prairie is more than just a pretty green space.

Four years ago Geist Christian Church in Fishes began developing the land that surrounds the church into a prairie; members and friends cleared away construction debris and turned the approximate 20 acres into the wildlife-friendly meadow.

Cheryl Shearer is a member of the church, serves on their Environmental Stewardship committee and is part of the Indiana Native Plant & Wildflower Society. “The prairie includes three acres of native plants,” Shearer stated. “We wrote for grants and raised money to make this happen.”

A gravel path winds around the church and anyone can access it to view the prairie. The path leads to Sand Creek and signs are installed along the way to provide information about plants and wildlife. There is even a Creekside Classroom on the banks of the creek.

“The Creekside Classroom is a large area that has been cleared,” Shearer explained. “Kids can sit on logs in a kind of classroom formation. A platform has been built in the creek so kids can go out and see what is going on in the water.”

Geist Christian in Fishers will present their Nature

ON THE WEB

Camp from July 28 – 31, utilizing the prairie and Creekside Classroom. “This is the first year for a camp that specifically exposes kids to the environment,” said Shearer. “It can be hard for suburban kids to get these exposures.”

The prairie provides numerous learning opportunities including the concept of biodiversity and why it’s important. “What happens with development is that species cannot intermingle,” Shearer shared. “So inbreeding happens, from insects all the way up to mammals and it’s not good for their survival.” Shearer went on to explain that Ridgefield housing development created a prairie adjacent to the Geist Christian property and with the two prairies, insects and other wildlife can intermingle creating biodiversity.

Take a look at the unique, urban prairie here in Fishers and learn something new about the natural world.

“You don’t have to travel miles to experience this type of nature,” says Shearer.

G.I.V.E members sponsored a bouncy house at the recent Fishers Freedom Festival and raised $5,500 for charity. (Submitted photo)

Town employees help non-profits

By Mackenzie Klahr • news@currentinfishers.com

The Fishers G.I.V.E. Committee, which is a group made up entirely of town employees, is continuing its seventh year of sergiving vice to the community.

G.I.V.E, which stands for generosity, involvement, volunteerism and employees, chooses one charity each year to focus on and raise awareness for. This year’s charity is Promising Futures, an organization that works to develop healthy relationships and positive changes for the youth and families of Central Indiana.

Every fall the town staff comes together and votes on one charity group they would most like to support. The group selected is not always a local charity; in the past the committee has chosen Fishers families in need.

Fundraisers such as the Freedom Festival, where the committee oversees inflatables for kids to play on, and the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater concessions during movie and concert nights are just two of the many ways the group raises money for their cause.

Run solely with town employees, each department from the Town of Fishers has a represen-

tative on the team. Once a year during Public Recognition Service Week the group focuses employee contributions through bake sales, raffles and a competition in which directors are voted on to receive a pie-in-the-face.

The Freedom Festival is the team’s biggest event each year. This year the committee raised five thousand five hundred dollars and the inflatables were sponsored by Lawn Pride, which allowed all money raised to go directly to Promising Futures.

Aimee Ector, a human resource assistant for the town who serves as the facilitator of G.I.V.E. believes that helping people is a very special experience.

“We’re lucky to have these employees that work for the town that are really passionate about this and have leadership that supports these charities,” Ector said.

In the past the group has supported groups such as Hoosier Burn Camp, The Humane Society of Hamilton County, Janus Developmental Services and Kammy’s Kause.

To suggest specific needs or local charities to the group for their upcoming year you can call Ector at 595-3106 or email her at ectora@fishers. in.us.

Connecting with neighborhoods Commentary by Autumn Gasior

From a communications standpoint, my department never has a shortage of things to share with our community. From GovernmEnt summer concerts to snow removal updates, there is always something to talk about here in Fishers.

While we definitely don’t lack content, the question I find myself asking is “Who is our message reaching?” The goal, of course, is everyone, and the Town uses various mediums to spread the word including the Fishers Alert email system, the Town Talk monthly newsletter, www. fishers.in.us, Facebook and Twitter.

However, these channels all rely on the residents to connect with us. We want to come to you.

Moving forward, the Town will develop for more fluid communications with our Fishers neighborhoods. We’d like to work with neighborhood homeowners associations to get feedback on projects, spread the word about public meetings and special events and send Town officials out to your meetings to share important

information.

We are actively collecting homeowners’ association contacts and meeting information, and I’m asking you to help. The Town has created an easy-to-use form on the website in hopes of collecting HOA information, including president/ board contact information, meeting schedules and any social media information.

I’m asking that you take a minute, visit www. fishers.in.us/HOA and fill out the form, or remind your HOA president to do so. This will help to ensure that the lines of communications are open between the Town and your neighborhood, and that’s a good thing for all of us.

I’m lucky to work in place where collaboration is a core value. I look forward to this spirit of collaboration expanding beyond the walls of our office and into our neighborhoods. Please take a moment to help us make that happen.

Autumn Gasior is the Director of Public Relations for the Town of Fishers. You may contact her at gasiora@fishers.in.us or connect on Twitter @AutumnBGasior.

Retro 101 offers deals on wheels

“I wanted to be able to walk in the park with my grandson again.”

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com Those who enjoy the convenience and laidback atmosphere of a food truck, yet dislike crowded, noisy shopping malls, business may want to check out the area’s first boutique on wheels.

Retro 101, developed by Fishers resident Heather Pirowski, offers a range of clothing styles for women of various ages and sizes, from fun and trendy to young and hipster to retro flair, along with accessories, gift items and styles for men and children.

Pirowski developed her vision of a mobile boutique from a visit to a clothing shop housed in an Ohio barn and after having had success herself with setting up a pop-up shop at the City Market when Indianapolis hosted the Super Bowl in 2012.

After purchasing “Ellie,” a $1,200 bus, Pirowski began work on her plan, adding local fashionable, yet affordable styles, tailored to where she travels, from downtown Indianapolis and Hamilton County to Tennessee, Ohio or Chicago.

“It’s all about having fun,” she said. “You’ll find something different and unique that you won’t find in other places.” Pirowski added that when the bus travels to downtown Indianapolis, the show caters to the younger, “hipster” crowd, however, the styles shown during stops in Hamilton County may cater to a slightly older crowd.

Retro 101 has also partnered with Dress for Success, donating clothes for functions. In addition, the mobile boutique attracted the attention

When I knew I was going to have knee replacement surgery, I wanted to have all my plans finalized in advance. That’s why I checked in to Westminster Village North for post-surgery rehabilitation. My brand new private rehab suite was like I was staying in a nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff.

And the physical therapists are amazing.

The new state-of-the-art equipment helped me get back on my feet quickly.

of Indianapolis 500 princesses, which led to styles being featured on them at special appearances, including the Indianapolis 500 parade.

The boutique also offers online “steals and deals” each Monday on Facebook.

Pirowski said she enjoys the unique business, which allows her to have flexibility as a busy mom, and hopes that others may be inspired as entrepreneurs of their own dreams.

“It’s been great for the family dynamic, doing things on my own terms. I’m having fun with the concept,” she said. “You get out of your comfort zone and have fun doing it.”

911 service is not free

Commentary by Larry Lannan

When you need help in an emergency, you call 911. You don’t think about the cost of the service.

The Fishers Town Council government has been thinking about the cost, which has gone from zero to over $1 million in only a few years.

Fishers is part of the Hamilton County 911 system. As a result, Fishers is assessed an amount of money to participate.

In calendar year 2014, the Town of Fishers was assessed $722,000. The Fishers assessment for 911 service in 2015 is expected to be surpass $1 million.

Why has the local cost of 911 service risen from zero to over $1 million in only a few years?

The rapid growth of Fishers is one reason.

When a municipality’s citizens use the service more often, the assessment rises.

The other major reason is the fact that the tax we pay as part of our phone bills has not kept up with the cost of the service. Cell phone users pay much lower 911 fees compared to land line connections. As a result, local governments must pick up the tab.

The 911 service is very labor intensive. You need operators answering 911 calls with the skills to clarify the emergency and dispatch the help needed as quickly as possible.

If you call a company for customer service,

you often talk to someone on the other side of the globe. I don’t think you want 911 service to be outsourced outside the United States.

Keeping 911 equipment up to date with the latest technology also is expensive.

When Fishers must pay $1 million in 2015, that’s $1 million less to pay for our local law enforcement needs, parks and streets.

Should the money to pay for 911 service come from the taxes we pay for county and city government? Or should we be paying an excise tax on our phone bills that pay the entire cost of the 911 service?

The Indiana General Assembly is tasked with making that decision. State lawmakers are obviously hesitant to increase excise taxes on phone bills to pay for 911 service.

However, if the legislature fails to act, the cost of this service will fall on our local government entities already strapped for money under the property tax caps.

When you call 911, you want someone to answer and send help. The question is, how do we pay for it?

Home-work-staycation Commentary by Heather Kestian This week begins my first ever “working on the home” and staying-put vacation. I am working on a catchy title so that I Plain talk can start a new meme. I decided that I simply cannot fit all the little things into the weekends. These little things have all added up and piled on top of each other – literally, in the garage. I am about to lose my mind and my husband is not far behind me.

In order to keep what little sanity I have left, I decided to create a list of to-do items and use some vacation time to tackle these projects. The flower beds need constant attention and I intend to get them in order this week. The bathroom paint needs touching up, so that went on the list too. All of the old clothes that do not fit that have found their way into every nook and cranny in the house are getting sorted and given away.

The car loads of toys will soon be on their way to Goodwill and to new homes. I also plan to catch up with old friends and maybe make a few new ones. I have thrown in a haircut and doctor visits to capitalize on what this week has to offer.

Some serious planning has gone into this week.

In fact, this planned time to get things in order seems long overdue. I looked around this past weekend and wondered how this

happened? I think I have figured it out and the answer: I have re-prioritized and the little stuff is no longer important. I prefer to spend my weekends with my children. I prefer to spend the evenings reading books and playing, even though it creates chaos in the house with far too many toys strewn about. It is time, however, to take the order back!

With day one finished on my home-workstaycation, I must say that having an entire day to fulfill a personal plan has been amazing. The stuff that has piled up is gone. The things that have been broken for a while that I have been meaning to fix are either fixed or removed. The de-cluttering process is like a tall glass of lemonade for my soul. It feels more peaceful in this crazy space. When my husband came home, I was elated to show him the progress after one day of uninterrupted time.

Why haven’t I thought of this before? I will fill you in on the process of making the home more Zen-like. For now, there is a quietness brewing.

And I really, really like it.

news@currentinfishers.com Another company has decided to move its base of operations to Fishers. Healthiest Employers, a technology and health aneconomy alytics company, plans to locate its operations center here and says it will create up to 90 jobs by 2017.

The company will invest $1 million to lease and equip 4,000 square feet of office space, which should be operational by early 2015. The company is located at 10100 Lantern Road.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) offered the company more than $1.3 million in tax incentives and up to $75,000 in training grants. The tax credits, however, are based on performance and the company will not receive them until Hoosiers are actually hired.

The town of Fishers was also involved in the project to get the company to locate its center in Fishers.

“With the decision to locate their growth in Indiana, local firms like Healthiest Employer continue to demonstrate the health of our Hoosier tech community,” said Eric Doden, president of the IEDC. “The crossroads of technology and wellness meet here, with a business climate that is supportive and affordable, tax policies that encourage investment and a workforce that is committed to the hard work and innovation

needed to keep Indiana a state that works.”

Healthiest Employers was founded in 2009 and is a privately held technology firm focused on population health. It collects and measures corporate health data worldwide. According to the IEDC, the company uses software to analyze medical claims and biometric and population health data to help employers predict expenses and cut health care costs.

“We work with employers in nearly every state, but Indiana is where it started for us,” said Rod Reasen, chief executive officer of Healthiest Employer. “We are committed to reinvesting in our state’s workforce and look forward to participating in the local software ecosystem that is garnering national attention. Indiana is fertile ground for harvesting software that lowers healthcare cost and increases productivity.”

“Fishers is excited about Healthiest Employers’ continued innovation and growth,” said John Weingardt, president of the Fishers Town Council. “As the company marks its accomplishments and outlines future opportunities, we are very pleased that the plans include Fishers.”

Healthiest Employer has already begun hiring for software development, business development and project management positions. Interested applicants may apply online at www.healthiestemployers.com.

Financial services office opens in Fishers

By Sarah Stoesz • news@currentinfishers.com

The Financial Enhancement Group now has an office in Fishers off of 96th Street and I-69.

The company, which offers now open assistance with retirement planning, opened the Fishers location June 25 and also has locations in Anderson, Indianapolis, Lafayette and Rensselaer.

“We chose to open our fourth office in Fishers because the community really meshes well with our culture,” said Joseph Clark, CFP, managing partner of Financial Enhancement Group. “In each of our locations, staff are active participants in non-profit, faith-based, and civic organizations.

We believe in giving back.”

The Financial Enhancement Group puts emphasis on tax planning and investment. The staff tries to give a personalized approach to financial planning.

“We believe that nothing can separate you from your retirement dreams faster than the Internal Revenue Service,” Clark said. “Therefore, we put a great deal of focus on tax planning and making sure our clients understand the options and opportunities available to them in order to better prepare for their financial goals.”

Clark is a “foodie” and teaches his clients about investing through cooking. He studied at Paris’ Cordon Bleu and incorporates his passion for the culinary arts with his “kitchen chats” with clients.

“There are several similarities between a wellcooked meal and a good retirement plan,” Clark

Clark also teaches about financial planning outside the kitchen. He also is an assistant adjunct professor at Purdue University in the consumer sciences department.

In addition to teaching classes, Clark hosts the “Consider This” program on Shine 99 and WQME radio stations. He talks about financial planning and taxes and their effects on Central Indiana families.

Rain doesn’t dampen Fishers Freedom Festival

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon The 26th annual Fishers Freedom Festival was very well-attended despite rain throughout the festival weekend. Festival Festival spokesperson Suzie Willard says usually 50,000 people attend every year.

But weather can certainly be a factor.

“Saturday’s off-and-on light rain probably did decrease attendance from last year, but it was still very busy. Sunday’s attendance was probably the highest we’ve ever seen over all past years. Holland Park was packed especially Sunday evening for the free concert and fireworks, as well as the areas around 116th Street near the municipal complex, Billericay Park and many other surrounding areas for viewing the fireworks,” she says.

The festival also awarded its eighth annual

winner of the “William D. Kehl Jr. Volunteer of the Year” award to Rhonda Wright. The award was presented by the Kehl family during the Fishers Freedom Festival’s Opening Ceremonie. Willard says that Rhonda Wright, owner of The Wright Touch hair salon, has dedicated endless hours towards a variety of Fishers organizations for decades. Wright has volunteered for Kappa Delta Phi, Delaware Township Food Pantry, Girl Scouts, children’s sports teams, Fishers Freedom Festival and others.

The public was asked to bring canned goods to the festival to be donated to food pantries in the area. In all, the festival collected a total of 905 pounds of food from the public’s donations. On Saturday, the 461 lbs of food collected was given to the Fishers United Methodist Church’s food pantry. On Sunday, 444 lbs of food was passed on to Delaware Township’s food pantry and will benefit those in need.

Leaders discuss heroin growth in county

By Devynn Barnes • news@currentnoblesville.com Elected officials from across Hamilton County and the state gathered together at Noblesville City Hall to discuss a growing issue drugs in the community on July 1. U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) and State Sen. Jim Merritt brought together those on the front lines of the Indiana drug war, in order to discuss the state’s increased heroin epidemic.

“If society doesn’t see this as a problem they’re in for a huge wake-up call very soon,” Hamilton Country Sheriff Mark Bowen said.

Brooks began the discussion by telling the panel, “I want to learn from you all what you are seeing,” acknowledging that heroin is “not just a big city problem.”

The talk about the gateway to heroin is easy to attain, and most of the time is sitting in young people’s homes. Abuse of different prescription medicines is often the beginning of heroin addiction. In a study done by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 81 percent of heroin users started with prescriptions. The pharmacists on the panel noted that they have seen an increase in pharmacy thefts.

The fear is that dealers are getting young people hooked on prescription drugs and then turning them to heroin when their prescription habit gets too expensive. Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings said that prison sentence times, a maximum of six years for these dealers,

is too short to deter them from the drugs.

“The answer from the state is ‘put less people in prison,’” Cummings said. “The federal government could help out significantly.”

Indianapolis Police Chief Rick Hite, who said he has seen this problem grow, also said, “We have to look at the root causes.”

is the first step, but it seems to be easier said than done, and it all takes money. Lack of federal funds in the different departments combatting this crisis was the biggest grievance.

“We’re going to go back and see what we should be focusing on,” Brooks said in closing, hoping that the meeting would bring awareness in the community.

“I could never forgive him!” These words often come out slowly, jaws clenched and body tense.

I have met many students spirituality deeply hurt by someone they have never met. A student once said to me that the worst rejection anyone can feel is a father’s rejection. Many have shared how bitter they are at their absent fathers, and the pain runs deep. This reasoning sheds a lot of light on our culture’s view of family and children.

The conversation with these young students went something like this. There are two biological connections to a child. The requirement of the mother’s presence is much higher than the fathers. She literally has to give birth to the baby.

The dad has “more” freedom to say he wants out. This freedom means the choice to stay isn’t as much of an obligation for the father as it is for the mother.

When a father does stay, it’s almost like he says, “I can go, but I won’t! I choose to be responsible. To carry the weight, to love instead of leave. I choose you. I want you.”

Did you notice it? There are three powerful things that emerge from this conversation.

First, our culture now sees a baby as an obligation and a burden. Even our own president has implied this numerous times. “But if they (his daughters) make a mistake, I don’t want them

punished with a baby.” -Obama.

Second, the deepest desire of the young students in the class is to be chosen. They want someone to love them not out of obligation, but out of a choice.

Third, they want to be enjoyed by their father.

Dads, when you CHOOSE to love your kids and enjoy them it speaks in ways deeper than words. When the actions of your life proclaim that your family is a blessing and not a burden, it gives such deep value to life.

To those who didn’t have a good dad.

To those who have spent their life feeling like a burden.

To those who feel like you brought pain to your parents instead of joy.

I want to say this.

The power of the Gospel is you ARE chosen.

Jesus knows how fragile and flawed you are, how angry you may be. When you feel the rejection of a very flawed, broken, human father, read the story of Christ. Jesus chooses you.

Let that sink in…He chooses you.

This is real love. To be fully known and still chosen.

Sixteen Fishers Fire Department recruits complete fire training academy and are ready to serve

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com What kid doesn’t see a fire truck and want to climb aboard and take a ride? Many dream of becoming a firefighter when they grow up. For 16 Fishers fire recruits, it is a dream cover story come true.

The 16, along with six Carmel Fire Dept. recruits, graduated in a ceremony held June 25, following 22 weeks of tough training. Fishers Fire Dept. spokesman John Mehling says it is a challenging class.

“It has many similarities to the Armed Services Boot Camp. It is both mentally and physically taxing consisting of long days in whatever weather conditions are provided by Mother Nature that day. Recruits often discover limitations in themselves which must be overcome to meet success. There is a mental and physical growth through this process that teaches recruits the importance of working as a team, knowing the consequences of failure, and understanding failure is not an option. Those who successfully complete this course have likely experienced moments when their mind or body said they couldn’t, but through perseverance, and in many cases shear will, they pushed on,” he says.

There are typically hundreds of applicants and Mehling says recruits are chosen solely by scores and performance. According to Division Chief of Training and Safety Charlie Fadale, the academy consists of EMT training and fire class with training in special operations and hazmat awareness. Fadale spoke highly of the recruits. “We had a great class. We had the full gamut. I think we ranged all the way from 21 to 35 and you have to be hired before your 36th birthday and one individual turned 36 the week after we

started. So, full gamut, everyone performed well.

Sleepless in summer readings

F R O M T H E BACKSHOP High court sends a clear message It was a heartening 5-4 vote last week by which the United States Supreme Court ruled public-sector unions in Illinois are forbidden from collecting fees from home-health care workers who don’t want to be part of a union.

If there was a failing in the decision, it is that it is limited to health-care workers and not all public-sector unions. Justices sadly abjured the opportunity to curb the act of publicsector unions passing representation costs to non-members. The decision, though, has registered as a setback for unions in Illinois and similarly minded states that force homehealth care workers to unjustifiably hand over union dues. We believe it should be extended to the entirety of union members nationwide.

A closed shop should not exist, for such an entity obliterates freedom on multiple levels. If someone wants to join a union and pay dues, that’s a personal choice. Labor unions argued, though, that if Illinois is allowed to back out of its collective-bargaining agreement with the union, it would only be a matter of time before workers see their wages cut and benefits dropped. And there it is, a scare tactic. Union leaders are said to also fear conservative judges across the nation using the ruling to strike down laws in 26 states that require public-sector employees, such as teachers and police officers, to fork over dues to the unions that negotiate contracts on their behalf even if the employee doesn’t want to become a union member. And as for unions protecting members’ employment positions, in our experiences we’ve never witnessed a worker with a poor performance record have his or her job “saved by the union” - although we’re not so naive as to think it doesn’t happen, because we’re certain it does. Regardless, it all boils down to this with respect to union leadership and its trailing zealots: Liberals don’t really care what you do as long as it’s compulsory.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Carrying more than needed Commentary by Terry Anker Sometimes, I imagine that my parents must have been clairvoyant. They warned of the inevitable turns that my life’s path might take decades before they happened. Their advice could not have imagined the form that my family or career might adopt, yet I constantly reflect on their insight and am amazed by their prescience.

How do the things that we learned as kids come back to us over and over again as adults?

Perhaps our folks simply tapped into the human inevitability of natural pattern and were only passing to us the truisms of a lifetime of experience. The basis of our civilization, some would say, is fully vested in each of us by the time that we enter the first grade. Be nice. Don’t take something that doesn’t belong to you. Care for those weaker and lonely. Value one’s inner character more than the desirous objects or even people that come and go from our domain.

Can we determine the importance to one’s life of another person or thing by taking it away? If

we miss it, does that feeling set its value? Over time for me, the approach has proven a fairly effective guide. There is so much – some might call it baggage – that we carry along either because we are afraid to let it go or, perhaps even more tragically, because we forget that we even have it. The habit of pruning is a good one. But, the ability to discern what matters from what doesn’t can be tricky.

Can we ever really expect to find happiness if we don’t leave the unnecessary luggage at baggage claim? I tend to carry more than is required.

It may be time to shake out my emotional hoard and decide what’s worth keeping. A lighter load sounds most appealing.

I haven’t slept well in a week thanks to my stupid idea to encourage my kids to read this summer. Like most parents, I am humor constantly nagging my children to put down the “electronical” devices (as my 10-year-old calls them) and pick up a book. Generally they laugh in my face or offer lame excuses like, “I have to read at school. I need a break!” But with two months of salt mine vacation and loads of free time, that pretext no longer applies.

Normally I read fantasy, but my summer default is fluff romance, specifically Nora Roberts. Easy reading and just enough smut to whisk me away from suburban parenting. This year, however, I decided to expand my perusing to other genres in hopes of inspiring the aforementioned anti-literary offspring. Perhaps they would even read along with me!

I began with The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien. A student had left it in my classroom, a byproduct of his AP World Lit course, so I assumed it was at least decent. Plus, the cover implied a supernatural vibe, like maybe what soldiers carried with them into the afterlife?

No. The pseudo-memoir focuses on the dual nature of fighting in Vietnam, both the horrible and the beautiful. A far, far cry from Nora, and definitely not an uplifting escape from my soccer mom life. Plus, too many F-bombs for a family book club.

Next up, The Fault in Our Stars. I went into this one knowing it would be sad – my youngest had just finished it – but what I didn’t anticipate was the perfectly injected humor.

Somehow this made the story “real” for me.

So not only did I empathize with the main characters, as a mom I could also relate to the grieving parents. Double depressing! Another two nights of disturbing dreams and cryinginduced headaches, added to a sex talk with my fifth-grader I was not prepared for.

I am now on my latest book, one I was sure would not leave me miserable, Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep. WRONG! It’s a sequel to The Shining, with the protagonist being Jack Nicholson’s now-grown-up son who is trying to overcome his alcoholism despite still seeing dead people. A captivating premise, but one that’s leaving me scared poo-less to use the bathroom at 3:30 a.m. I’d put it down, but in the daylight it’s awesome!

Nevertheless, I need sleep. I’ll be returning to Nora ASAP and my kids can go back to their dumb electronicals. I’ve changed my mind on this summer reading thing. Peace out.

‘Mum Mum’ dearest Commentary by Dick Wolfsie If my grandmother were alive today, she would be 125, and she would still, no doubt, be walking around in her six-inch-high humor heels, the ones she asked to be buried in - and she’d have a Marlboro in her fingers. She demanded to be called Mum Mum because the term “grandma” suggested an older woman. That wasn’t going to work.

She smoked two packs a day, had a few shots of Johnnie Walker Black before noon and then would ask her doctor if she could put cream in her coffee, “or would that be too much cholesterol for a women of my age?” Not that she ever told anyone her age, but my previous estimate is in the ballpark.

Which reminds me: She loved baseball. She never missed a Mets game on TV. She knew the number of each player and their batting averages, but she really didn’t fully understand the sport. I once took her to Shea Stadium, but due to traffic we were almost an hour late. The scoreboard showed it was a scoreless game.

“Oh good,” she said, “We didn’t miss anything.”

Mum Mum was hard of hearing due to a childhood illness, and she was always adamant that her disability was not due to age. During meals at our house she spent a lot of time saying: “Speak more clearly!” “Don’t shout.” “Enunciate.”

During the inevitable family spat, my father would sometimes whisper under his breath: “She

can be such a pain in the butt.”

“You’re a pain in the butt, too,” she’d shout back. Yes, Mum heard exactly what she wanted to hear and nothing more.

She and my mother were always fighting on the phone. And, it was even harder for Mum Mum to hear when she couldn’t see the person talking. My irritated Mom could not successfully make a point without having to repeat herself several times. Once when I was a teenager, my mother slammed the receiver down in frustration. Half an hour later when I tried to call a friend, Mum Mum was still on the line, ranting, unaware she had been talking to no one.

This week’s column was inspired by the temporary disappearance of my wife’s wedding ring, which we luckily found on the bathroom floor. The modestly sized diamond was a gift from Mum Mum, whose father back in Germany had been in the gem importing business. The loose stone arrived in our mailbox one day back in 1980—just prior to our engagement—in a plain envelope, wrapped in a square of toilet paper.

Yes, if Mum Mum were alive today, I’d whisper another thanks in her ear. And she would hear what I was saying. Every word of it.

Jennie DeVoe said her brand of music crosses the genres of folk, pop and blues – but all of her songs have soul. (Submitted photo)

Nationally known singers Jennie DeVoe, Carrie Newcomer to play Fishers stage in July

By Jessica Fox • jessica@currentincarmel.com

Could you use a summer evening out with your friends? Singers Jennie DeVoe and Carrie Newcomer hope to provide listeners with music that anyone can enjoy at the free music Fishers Amp After Dark concert series.

Growing up surrounded by music, it was only natural for DeVoe to develop a musical interest at an early age.

Influenced by greats like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Etta James, DeVoe said she tries to infuse old and new music with folk lyrics in a way that would appeal to any age group.

As far as new music goes she said she is influenced by unique voices like Adele and Imagine Dragons, but during her career she has opened for singers like Bonnie Raitt, Jack Johnson and Ray Charles.

DeVoe would describe her genre of music as Americana soul music. But her goal is to write good lyrical content and paint a picture for her audience.

At every show DeVoe tries to mix a set list of her original songs and a few covers depending on what she feels the audience wants to hear at that particular concert.

“If you are a performer at heart there is something inside you that urges you to please the audience,” DeVoe said.

That’s why she doesn’t believe she has ever stuck to an exact set list.

DeVoe recently released her newest album Radiator – which she produced with John Parish in England.

Radiator was her third collaboration with Parish, who is most well-

known for his work with singer PJ Harvey. They also plan on producing and recording a new album together in the spring of 2015.

When she is not working on her music, DeVoe is very passionate about animal rights. She supports messages that get people to ultimately think about the care of their own pets.

DeVoe gave her song “Give a little love” to PetPals TV to use with their programming.

She is also is passionate about the treatment of farm animals.

“Even if they ultimately go to the butcher, they still deserve to have a happy and healthy life,” DeVoe said.

Singer songwriter Carrie Newcomer said she has been influenced by all kinds of music, but she always comes back to classic singing poets.

Newcomer has received a Grammy for writing the song “I Should Have Known Better.” The band Nickel Creek got a Grammy for performing this song on their This Side album.

She describes herself as an acoustic singer/songwriter influenced by Joanie Mitchell and Paul Simon.

Newcomer has played concerts all over the country, but she says that Indiana is her favorite outdoor venue.

“There is nothing like an outdoor Indiana summer concert,” she said.

O’Jays still wowing audiences

By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com

Legendary R&B group, The O’Jays, with more than 50 charted songs and 24 top-10 hits, will perform at the Palladium on July music 13, bringing more than 50 years of experience to the stage.

The group, formed in Canton, Ohio, in 1958, was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

A stable of songs like “Back Stabbers,” “Love Train” and “For the Love of Money” propelled them to stardom throughout the late 1960s and ‘70s.

Original member Eddie Levert, born in Alabama and raised in Canton, feels like the Midwest has a special quality to it.

“It’s always really great to play the home base and come back to where it all started,” Levert said. “It’s always a gratifying feeling. You take the abuse of running from hotel to hotel, jumping on airplanes. You get home and everybody acts like you’re the hero. They know you so well.”

Despite touring and recording for the better part of a century, Levert knows there’s always room for a hilarious error or two. In a momentary lapse of memory, Levert happened to forget the words to one of the songs he’d been singing for decades while performing in St. Petersburg, Fla. “The best part is you’re mumbling, so you yell to the audience, ‘Sing it with me!’” Levert said.

Despite rare incidents like that, Levert feels

The O’Jays have continued to build a new generation of fans decade after decade. (Submitted photo)

the audience knows what they’re there for.

“Hit records are hit records,” Levert said. “They want to hear that record and hear you sing it like that. If you can put a bit of movement in it, they appreciate that.”

Levert, along with fellow band member Walter Williams founded The O’Jays Foundation shortly after their Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame induction. The foundation provides scholarships for high school, college and even non-traditional adult students.

Levert claims that similar assistance and music education helped launch his career as a musician.

The Indiana Wind Symphony will perform “Bicentennials – The Star Spangled Banner and the Saxophone,” on Sept. 27, with saxophone virtuoso Kenneth Tse. “I’m really excited to have Tse as the soloist,” said Charles Conrad, director of the Indiana Wind Symphony. “I think he’s one of the really brilliant wind players in the world.”

Pianist Kelleen Strutz will join the symphony for a performance dedicated to heroism on Nov. 15, featuring John Williams’ “Summon the Heroes,” and Rachmaninoff’s “Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor.”

The holidays won’t want for music, either.

Soprano Jessamyn Anderson, along with Santa and Mrs. Clause will join the symphony for renditions of “O Holy Night” and “A Christmas Festival” on Dec. 6.

Fans of witches, wizards, fantasy and Broadway will be treated to the songs of “Wicked,” William’s “Harry Potter” suite, and “The Lord of the Rings” on Feb. 21. Classic hymns, such as

“Kentucky Harmony,” “Power and Glory,” and “Finlandia” will be reworked into concert pieces by the symphony on March 28.

The symphony’s final performance, featuring a tribute to brass instruments alongside soloists James Beckel and Julie Beckel opens May 17.

Local McAlister’s has best service

By Navar Watson • news@currentnoblesville.com

McAlister’s Deli in the Hamilton Town Center has added an eighth plaque to their shelf of awards after winning first place in achievement Highest Overall Customer Satisfaction for McAlister’s Delis across the nation. This is the third year in a row the Noblesville location has won the award, trumping some 320 other stores in the U.S. “Anticipating the guests’ needs is our number one priority,” General Manager Steve Hon said.

“Hot food. Quick service. We just try to win them – give them that ‘wow’ factor.”

The McAlister’s Deli National Conference is an annual event recognizing its stores and their accomplishments. This year, Indiana locations won four of the 12 awards given.

McAlister’s corporate office measures customer satisfaction through online surveys, Hon said, which asks customers a series of questions about their dining experience.

Hon said Noblesville management rewards its staff at least once per week to show their appreciation for the staff’s hard work and good customer service. The rewards range from ice cream for the staff to bowling nights.

Assistant General Manger Michael Pratt said the store’s employees are the main contributors to customer satisfaction.

“The more staff we have, I think the better the satisfaction,” Pratt said. “They take care of people. We try to make everybody feel as special

as we can.”

“I treat my guests like family,” said Tina Burgin, an employee for three-and-a-half-years. “I want to know them on a personal basis.”

Hon called Burgin the “mom” of McAlister’s in Noblesville, both to her customers and her fellow employees.

“I like to have conversations with (the guests),” she said. “I don’t care what we talk about. I just try to know them personally by name. I want them to feel comfortable when they come in.”

Hon said they are aiming to rank first in overall customer satisfaction again next year. He said the area of focus now is to get employees to actually greet customers the moment they walk in the door so that they feel noticed.

“That’s what we try to improve on everyday – trying to ‘wow’ the guests,” Pratt said.

Commentary by Kathleen Connelly Last week I was grocery shopping with my 3-year-old and out of the blue she asks, “Can you buy me an iPad?” fitness What? I laughed a little but she was serious and I think most kids are when they ask their parents for some type of electronic device.

We live in a world now that kids use computers, iPads, e-readers, TVs, video games and cellphones. Wow, that is a lot! Yes, some devices can be used for educational means and the HSE school district currently has an initiative to have each student have their own iPad. However, maybe it is all too much?

If kids are using all of these electronics, when are they playing? When are they being active indoors or outdoors? I remember playing outside until our parents made us come in for dinner but today it seems that most kids are inside in front of a screen.

A study done in 2010 by the Kaiser Foundation found the following daily media use results for 8- to 18-year-olds: • Approximately 7.5 hours using entertainment media • Approximately 4.5 hours watching TV • Approximately 1.5 hours on the computer • Over an hour playing video games Of course there is a lot of value in all of

diSpatches

the technical advances we have made over the last 50 years but I do think our kids’, even parents’, daily activity is suffering. Can you think of a day that you or your kids didn’t have any screen time at all? So my challenge is for you to reduce screen time starting today!

Some suggestions from www.mayoclinic. com only have electronics in common areas of the house and don’t use screen time as a reward. Another suggestion which I love is to have certain times or days that there is no screen time at all. What would your kids do if there was one day a week that there was no iPad, no DSI or no TV? If you have kids under 5-years-old, take advantage of the PlayFULL Hours programs in Fishers. Older kids can use one of the basketball courts at Holland Memorial Park.

For the whole family, rent a kayak at Saxony Beach or visit the Monon Community Center in Carmel for water slides. Take the challenge and see what new adventures your family can have this summer without the TV or iPad. Kathleen M.

Jordanian bagpipers at Jerash’s Southern Theater (Photo by Don Knebel)

Jerash: Ruins and bagpipes Commentary by Don Knebel

The Roman ruins at Jerash, 30 miles north of Amman, are among the best-preserved of any ancient city. Because of meticulous travel restorations, visitors can almost imagine they have returned to the second century, making Jerash the second most popular tourist destination in Jordan.

People have lived near Jerash for more than 6,500 years, but the city remained small until it was conquered by the Roman Empire in 63 B.C. and joined the Decapolis, the league of cities mentioned in the Bible. Known as “Gerasa,” the city prospered from trade with Petra and began building temples, baths and theaters. When Emperor Hadrian visited in 129 A.D., Gerasa erected a three-opening arch in his honor and began a golden age of prosperity. Eventually, the city encompassed 200 acres, with a population of about 20,000. When Christianity became legal in the fourth century, Gerasa residents defaced the temples and built churches.

After Persia conquered Gerasa in 614, the city began a slow decline. In 749, Gerasa was virtually destroyed by an earthquake and the ruins were eventually buried under blowing sands and forgotten. When the ruins were rediscovered in 1806,

the building materials had not been looted as in other ancient cities, allowing reconstruction of structures from the recovered rubble. Today, after almost 100 years of continuous effort, Hadrian’s arch, temples to Zeus and Artemis, two theaters, public baths and fountains, markets and a hippodrome have been at least partially restored. The half-mile-ling cardo ends at an unusual 90-meter long paved oval surrounded by Ionic columns, whose original purpose is still uncertain.

Each July or August, entertainers from around the world celebrate their cultural connections with ancient Rome in the restored southern theater during the Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts. Every day, robed Jordanians in red keffiyehs serenade visitors to the southern theater with bagpipes.

Surprising to many, bagpipes are authentically Roman. Early writings describe Nero playing the tibia utricularis, its pipes probably sewn to the leg and head openings of a sheep skin. The Scots borrowed the idea from invading Roman soldiers. Where the keffiyehs came from is a different story.

Object and subject pronouns Commentary by Jordan Fischer

What is an object pronoun? What’s a subject pronoun? Why are they so confounding to people? grammar guy I have no answer for the latter question, but for the first two I think I can help.

First off: What’s a pronoun? A pronoun is a proform that stands in for a noun or noun clause. In the sentence, “I just called John and he is ready to go,” “he” is a pronoun referring to the noun “John.” The noun a pronoun refers to is called the “antecedent.”

For the purpose of this column, pronouns come in two main varieties: subject and object.

A subject pronoun is used when it is standing in as the subject of a sentence. An object pronoun is used as the object of a verb or preposition (which, ultimately, is probably the object of a verb).

In English, our subject pronouns are: I; he; she; we; they; and who. Our object pronouns are: me; him; her; us; them; and whom. The pronouns “it,” “you” and “what” can be used as either

Calling it date night is cheesier than a bad chick flick, but the occasional night out is a great idea – a necessity even. Just don’t let it become part of your rut. Hit the newest cocktail joints in your area and keep the babysitter up late. Or make out in the car for a while before you head into the house. You’ll inject your relationship with some new life and give yourselves enough fresh memories to carry you through until the next escape. www.womenshealthmag.com

subject or object pronouns, depending upon the context.

How do you figure out is you need a subject or object pronoun, though? Ask yourself: Is this pronoun performing an action, or is it the recipient of an action? A subject performs an action, while an object is acted upon or receives an action.

Let’s consider this example sentence: “Sally threw the football to Megan.” Sally is throwing the football, so she is the subject. Megan is receiving the football (i.e. receiving Sally’s action), so she would get an object pronoun.

With pronouns substituted, that sentence would look like: “She threw the football to her.”

Try to remember this going forward: I/ he/she/we/who/they do things. Things are done to me/him/her/us/whom/them. And if you hear someone misusing pronouns, try to help them.

Only you can prevent pronoun abuse.

Four-season addition opens residence up to the outdoors Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING HOME: Located in the Willows subdivision in Zionsville, the owners of this home were tired of their blueprint for windy and sun exposed improvement back patio area. “Our neighborhood is still under development and there are not yet enough homes to block the strong winds. With the sun and winds constantly blowing over our umbrellas, it made it impossible for us to truly enjoy our patio.”

BASEMENT ACCESS: A transition room was added off the kitchen with a staircase leading to the basement. Decorative French doors were added to the design of the transition room which provides the perfect flow from the kitchen and basement to the backyard patio.

NATURAL LIGHT: Preserving natural light was a priority. Fixed windows were added to the existing hearth room wall, basement wall, and on the exterior wall flanking the French doors. Two large skylights were also added to illuminate the basement stairwell.

SUNROOM DESIGN: To make the room feel bright and open, casement windows were installed around the perimeter of the sunroom giving it an abundant amount of natural light while also allowing the cool breeze to come through the room when opened. Cathedral ceilings also give the room a more spacious and open feel.

before & after

RESULT: The homeowners are finally able to enjoy the outdoor weather without the headache of sun and strong winds. “We love using the space in the morning. We open up all of the windows, drink coffee, read the paper and listen to the birds sing. It’s the best way to ease into the day.”

CONSISTENT INTERIOR & EXTERIOR FINISH: The addition was designed to give a cohesive look with the existing home.

Since the original bricks on the exterior of the home were discontinued, new bricks were tinted to perfectly blend with the existing exterior. The interior details were also kept consistent including the rounded wall corners, white painted trim and the antique bronze stairwell balusters.
