The Fishers Town Council met in a retreat and special session last week, holding a short special session to government approve the purchase of property in relation to the mixed-use development in front of town hall.

Property purchase The council voted to allow the Fishers Redevelopment Commission to purchase Post Office Drive from the USPS. The road is located in front of 8500 E. 116th St. This is a step toward the new mixed-use development in front of town hall. Multiple appraisals were made of the property, and it will cost $390,000 to acquire it. The project should break ground later next month.

The budgeting process begins The town staff began briefing the council on the town’s finances at the July 29 retreat. Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness said pieces of the budget will be talked about at each subsequent work session. Presentations of the next fiscal year budget at regular council meetings appear toward the end of the year. Mike Reuter, Hamilton Southeastern School District CFO and consultant to the town, presented financial forecasts for the town with a fiscal plan. Reuter’s lengthy report included forecasts through 2016. Reuter forecasts the town will have more

than $42.4, $42.8 and $43.1 million in total revenue in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Amphitheater programming continues with fall schedule Fadness said after meeting with the parks and recreation staff, the town plans to bring a kids-oriented movie series this fall back at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Dr. In addition to that series, big upcoming events include the Humane Society for Hamilton County’s Dog Day Afternoon featuring Woofstock, a large Halloween-oriented event and a large Christmas-oriented event.

Council briefed on cul-de-Loops After some concern and maintenance requests came from residents about cul-de-loops in their neighborhood, Jeff Hill, director of engineering, briefed the council on the ownership of the roads in various subdivisions. A cul-de-loop is a small road that creates a bump or “eyebrow,” allowing developers to squeeze more lots into areas, usually corners, of a neighborhood. Hill said there are 103 of these roads in more than 50 subdivisions. A memo from Hill states taking on these types of roads, which are treated as private in other communities, would be a $5 million liability, a no-go for the town. Fadness said the town will reach out to impacted homeowner’s associations so they know to include the upkeep of those roads in their capital budgets.

Youth learn new craft, life skills through unique competition

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com

More than two dozen youth in Hamilton County are trading their iPads and iPhones for entertainment this conner prairie summer in exchange for creating shawls from scratch.

Spending hours daily with a spinning wheel in the textile studio located on the property of Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, the students, aged 10 to 18, are preparing for the annual Sheep to Shawl competition, which is Aug. 18 at 10 a.m. in the Pioneer Opry House at the Indiana State Fairgrounds during the State Fair.

Participants learn every step involved in creating a shawl, from carding the fleece, spinning it on a wheel, plying the wool by twisting it into two strands together and then weaving the scarf. The youth also create their own patterns on the computer.

“The kids have produced amazing products each year,” said Lynelle Mellady, public relations manager for Conner Prairie. “They are keeping these important historic windows alive.”

Students, who prepare for the competition months in advance, are selected to participate after a successful interview process to determine whether they are likely to have a strong commitment to the project.

As a result of their dedication, the youth learn more than just a new skill; they develop poise,

football practice, according to Payne.

“This is a great way to manage your time,” said Sam Edmonds, a junior in high school who has graduated to captain of his own spinning team. “You get to use leadership and organization skills.”

This is not a group that simply works with no fun, however. Each year at the competition, the teams get to choose their own costumes to wear. The boys like to dress up as pirates, complete with eye patches, while the girls choose a gypsy or Greek goddess theme.

Proceeds that go toward the winning team go back into purchasing supplies for the following year. For more information, contact Lynelle Mellady at 214-4732.

confidence, teamwork abilities and time management, according to Sue Payne, textile specialist and mentor for the students. Additionally, students like Gabby Guerra, 18, have excelled in their abilities to the point of teaching new and inexperienced youth.

“The project teaches us to be mentors and how to be a good leader,” Guerra said.

The competition’s attraction is not limited to just the girls. Many males enjoy the bonding time with their friends, and afterward some go off to

Listening to the public

Commentary by Larry Lannan

When covering local government, you grow accustomed to elected officials deferring to staff recommendations.

GOVERNMENT After all, it was the elected officials that hired the staff to avail themselves of professional expertise.

On July 22, the Hamilton Southeastern School Board voted not to support a staff recommendation, after students, recent students and some parents argued against the proposed change.

HSE has been using an outside group of instructors for the Creating Positive Relationships program. The school system paid the outside organization for this.

The administration surveyed the 28 health teachers throughout the school system and 21 said they could teach the CPR program and, at the same time, save the school corporation money in a time of tight budgets.

When the board took up the matter, it allowed eight people to speak, each with a time limit. All eight speakers from the general public made an impassioned plea to keep the program as it is now, with the outside instructors.

The school administrators, led by Asst. Supt.

Dr. Beth Niedermeyer, told the board that school system health teachers are capable of teaching this course. At the same time, there would be budget savings.

Once the presentations were made, it was up to the board to decide. Each board member made initial comments. Each praised both sides for mak-

ing persuasive arguments, but in the first round of comments, no board member took a position.

Board members Katrina Hockemeyer and Karen Harmer both decided to support the staff and make the changes as staff recommended.

They said the public comments were compelling but finally came down in favor of the staff.

Board member John DeLucia was on vacation and did not attend the session. Ron Wilson chose to abstain.

Board members Diane Eaton, Sylvia Shepler and Darren Sink voted to keep the program as it stands with the outside teachers. The final vote was 3-2.

What struck me about this vote was how the board members appeared to struggle with the issue. They all wanted to support their own administrative staff. However, in the end, a majority voted with the public sentiment expressed at the meeting.

This tells me local elected officials hear the staff, but also listen to the public. After all, every elected official won their seat on election day because the public chose to place them in a position of public trust.

With back to school time now approaching, this is one example of a school board listening and acting after hearing persuasive public comments.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Wind symphony debuts Aug. 10

Morally straight It is our position that religious institutions are within their right to disaffiliate themselves with programs they deem to be in conflict with their beliefs. Recently, several churches made the decision to cut ties with the Boy Scouts of America due to BSA’s decision to open their membership to youth who are openly gay.

With the largest majority of BSA’s sponsors being religiously affiliated organizations, the decision has spawned mixed emotions.

Conversely, for each troop that has been dropped, other organizations have picked up the sponsorship with open-minded churches among those on the list and even backing the decision. A ban on gay scout leaders is still in effect.

Placing sexual orientation in the spotlight of Boy Scouts of America has left many parents with the dilemma of answering tough and often times age inappropriate questions explaining inclusion or exclusion in the organization.

Sexual activity is prohibited as part of the boy scout promise of being “morally straight” so why should one’s sexuality matter? Willingness to participate by developing character, citizenship and personal fitness alone should be criteria for earning the good person of earth badge. Earning a badge in political correctness should not be the priority.

Learning from parlor games Commentary by Terry Anker A friend prone to preparing well-planned questions to inspire conversation during her dinner parties routinely demands that each person around the table turn, identify something positive and interesting about the person seated next to them and say it aloud – which leads to both hilarity and self-consciousness, especially among those meeting for the first time. Even more, like a junior Barbara Walters, she poses interrogatories in a way that requires us to imagine the familiar from a different perspective. Once, she asked of the famed three ghosts from Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” which apparition best reflects each of our own personalities and why. We expected questions about Scrooge and Marley, perhaps even about the beleaguered Bob Cratchit himself, but as simple as it seems, to become a decent ghost requires thoughtful introspection in addition to a robust knowledge of literature.

Most of those gathered showed a nostalgic streak in choosing Christmas Past, alive with the smells and sounds of a lost time, but the

vigorous and hearty nature of Christmas Present, even while holding close the simmering difficulties of ignorance and want only temporarily in abeyance, appealed most to me. At our table, only one imagined the gloom and doom prognosticated by Christmas Future with his bony finger pointing the way toward the eternal choice between salvation and damnation.

Like most of us, we can easily say that we have found ourselves playing the role of each of these familiar figures at some point during our lifetimes. Yet undoubtedly, one matches us better than the others. For me, it remains Christmas Present. The duality presented by abundance and poverty – by joy and sorrow – continues to flummox even the most intentional of human beings.

Past, Present or Future, these ghosts are here to show us the way if only we dare to follow.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K You have to be willing to get happy about nothing

- Andy Warhol

Here’s something we believe you’ll enjoy: Fishers Music Works, a not-for-profit entity, is debuting its newest ensemble, the Fishers Wind Symphony, at an Aug. 10 concert at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater at 7 p.m. We’re told the symphony members possess high levels of talent. The ensemble is comprised of professionals, adult amateurs, students and local school band directors. How amazing is that? Music, which has been said to be tonic for the soul, is a language all its own, something easily enjoyed and appreciated by everyone in the community. As the town morphs into a city, what better time for the Fishers Wind Symphony to take root? It could become one of Fishers’ signature music centerpieces, which would be a wonderful offering. The event also will feature the Nickel Plate Jazz Orchestra. Fishers Music Works is hopeful of debuting the Fishers Chamber Orchestra at some point next year.

On the agenda

Commentary by Dan Domsic

Being incredibly busy at work covering Fishers is nothing new here at Current, but a lot has happened in from the editor the past couple of weeks. Here’s a quick breakdown of new projects on the horizon, as well as a few things I’m looking to adjust.

Looking for contributors I’m expecting this fall to be even busier than usual as the mayor’s race pushes on and the kids in the Hamilton Southeastern School District go back to school. I’m looking for contributors that would like to help me cover our sprawling soon-to-be-city. Must-have traits for applicants include flexible hours and the ability to independently identify and pitch community stories. If you’re interested, send a resume, cover letter

and two writing samples to dan@youarecurrent. com.

Upcoming covers It might be trite, but it’s the truth: When it rains, it pours. This summer has been nothing but full of amazing cover stories about people in Fishers with beautiful experiences and out to achieve wonderful things. I am particularly excited about an upcoming cover about a teacher from out of state that documented a resident’s life story. It’s perhaps one of the greatest stories I’ve come across, and I can’t wait to share it with the community. Look for the story in an upcoming issue.

I’m looking for contributors that would like to help me cover our sprawling soon-to-be-city.

Mooning the Islanders

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Have you ever sat down on a public toilet only to discover a gi-normous hole in your pants just below your back pocket? Me humor neither, until recently at Kings Island. Hmmm . . . how long had I been hoofing it through the park with my left cheek hanging out? Classy. No matter. After all, it’s memories I was after.

The controversial ripped shorts incident (we never determined how or when said tear occurred) was fairly par for the course. Our day of supposed fun began with a 30-minute late arrival, thanks to the troopers on I-74 chaperoning an oversized truck for 10 excruciating miles during rush hour traffic. That’s what midnight to 3 a.m. is for, people!

This delay meant I’d had to ignore my desperate need to urinate upon entering the park in favor of helping our youngest obtain her long-awaited orange wristband, signifying she was finally tall enough to ride the big daddies.

Did my husband and two boys kindly wait for us? Heck to the no. They sprinted for the Diamondback coaster without even a glance in our direction. No sunscreen application, no safety review on meeting at the Eiffel Tower if you lose your buddy, and no distribution of the four cell phones among the three groups. Suffice it to say, I was livid and in extreme discomfort a mere 10 minutes into our annual thrill-seeking adventure.

I didn’t discover my “the hole” for another five hours, after being drenched on the white water rafting ride, so it was quite possible I had indeed bared my bum to a couple thousand Midwesterners in tanks and tats. Luckily, I had an extra pair of shorts and was able to spare these poor adrenaline junkies additional trauma.

What really made this a most precious ex-

perience was that I’d been up all night with our lovely dog. So even though I knew to avoid rides with the word “spin,” “whirl,” or “delirium,” subjecting my body to the continuous unnatural G-forces of the coasters increased the sleepdeprived nausea I was feeling, despite copious amounts of Advil and Pepto. Of course, it could have been the bungee dealio I rode with Doo; I’m not sure how I kept my breakfast down after being launched 100 feet into the air while strapped inside a metal cage. Or maybe it was the heat.

Below-average temps for most of the summer, but the Monday we pick, it’s 95 (degrees and percent humidity) in the shade.

Ah well. My best memories are from when life doesn’t go as planned, holey pants included.

Peace out.

Saxony Market: Pirate Day

He hadn’t eaten anything in two days. (With a beagle, you should worry about loss of appetite after two hours.) He was clearhumor ly in distress. Breathing heavily. Hadn’t budged in hours.

I took him to the emergency veterinary clinic where they initially diagnosed it as a treatable infection, but Toby was not getting better.

They did an ultrasound. The doctor came into the waiting room with the results. “Can I take him home now?” I asked the doctor.

“If you really want to,” she said, explaining that the tumors they found on his liver were probably life threatening, and they might soon become painful. He was too old for any aggressive treatment.

“I do want to take him home,” I said without hesitation. “I want some time with him to say good-bye.” I looked into his eyes; the sparkle was gone. I hoped that taking him back to the house was the right decision.

Barney, who passed away 10 years ago this week, had accompanied me on 2,500 TV shows for WISH-TV. Rather than become my next TV sidekick, Toby became nothing more than my next best friend. And nothing was more important than that. I’ve had a hound by my side for 23 years. The transition from beagle to beagle was seamless. The two dogs looked alike, they acted

alike, they drove my wife crazy alike.

When we got home from the vet, Toby curled up on his bed next to the TV. He didn’t move for 12 hours. No interest in water or food. I spent most of the next afternoon lying next to him, stroking his ears. When my wife got home, I remember saying, “I know this dog; he is dying.”

Mary Ellen took issue with my prognosis. “I think he’s going to be fine,” she said, an observation that I took to be directed more at assuaging my anxiety than a legitimate medical assessment.

Over the next few days, Toby began wandering around the house, soon barking to go outside to sit in the afternoon sun. His tail started wagging and by the end of the week, he had tipped over all the wastebaskets in the house and snatched a loaf of bread from the kitchen counter. I was ready to kick his butt. I wanted my wife to wipe that self-satisfied look off her face.

This was three months ago.

I could have easily made a different decision that night at the clinic, never knowing if I made the right one. This experience offers no life lessons. There is no moral here. It’s just a story, but so far, a story with a happy ending.

“Ingénue” was created by local filmmaker Kate Chaplin, co-owner of Karmic Courage Production. (Submitted photos)

Filmmaker wants to tell good stories

By Mark Johnson • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Kate Chaplin is the real deal. During an interview, the topics run the gamut of what Chaplin refers to as geek culture: movies, sci-fi, cult TV shows, comic books. . .oh yeah, and filmsilver screen making! However, what makes Chaplin the genuine article is her passion for telling good stories. That passion is summed up in Chaplin’s latest feature film, “Ingenue,” a science fiction story that touches on themes of humanity and, what Chaplin calls the “strength of family.”

So, what was the impetus for Chaplin’s passion as a filmmaker?

“I got interested in film when I was 10 years old,” she said, with a combination of humor and humility. “I was watching a marathon of Charlie Chaplin films on TV. There’s a part in the movie, ‘The Gold Rush’ where Charlie Chaplin eats his shoe! I knew he hadn’t really eaten his shoe, but I thought, ‘How did they do that?’ I wanted to know how they made it look so real!”

Chaplin’s interest in film, preceded the rise of the internet and the age of instant information.

“I did the only thing I could do at the time,” she said. “I went to the library and checked out some books. I’m a big fan of books. I learned more about filmmaking from books than any other medium. That’s where I learned how Charlie Chaplin ate his shoe. It was made of licorice!”

Yet, there was also another television marathon that caught Chaplin’s attention: “The Twilight Zone.”

“I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi,” she said. “I love ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Star Trek.’ What amazed me about the ‘Twilight Zone’ as I watched one the marathons was just how story-driven each episode was. Those stories were the inspiration for ‘Ingenue.’ That’s what I wanted to achieve, a solid story that would be a throwback to the old ‘Twilight Zone’ episodes.”

When the conversation turns to the state of the filmmaking industry today, Chaplin believes that independent films should lead the way. However, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy a good popcorn flick.

“I think there needs to be that balance,” she said. “You have the movies when you just turn off your brain and enjoy it, then you have the movies when you say, ‘I want to think about what I just saw.’ A steady diet of just one of those is not healthy!”

Chaplin endeavors to contribute to that balance through Karmic Cour-

age Productions, the company which she owns and co-manages with Amy Pauszek.

Does Chaplin have any advice for aspiring filmmakers?

“Yes,” she said, enthusiastically. “I tell them to make a movie! There are so many resources at their disposal. That’s what is so cool! You can make movies on an iPhone now! I tell them to use all the resources they have, involve all the people they know. The more movies you make the more you learn.”

As for Chaplin, her mission remains constant.

“When people leave my movies, I want them to say ‘That was a good story!’ That is always my main goal.”

Accepting students Ages 4 - Adult. Learn to play Pop, Broadway, Classical, Composition, and much more!

Music exploration can be a very fulfilling adventure – not only for your mind, but for your spirit.

Courtney Bray, Instructor/Owner

imagine… sitting at the piano on a rainy day, pulling out your favorite piece. the holidays, surrounded by family, playing carols. to gather with friends, flipping through popular sing-a-longs. your child’s first piano recital, tiny fingertips pluck each key. creating perfect moments in time, through music. molto dolce.

Our students

go the extra mile.

Students come to Cathedral from more than 130 different schools and eight different counties.

They go the extra mile because the educational experience here is unlike any other.

• From International Baccalaureate to STEM to Mandarin Chinese, Cathedral students have the pick of top academic programs.

• Approximately 99% of graduates enroll in colleges and universities.

Cathedral High School has announced the launch of the public phase of its new Faith in the Future capital campaign fundraiser which will provide funds to keep Cathedral on the leading edge of academic excellence and technological innovation plus provide for additional tuition assistance and enhancement of facilities for arts and athletics.

The public phase of the campaign was launched in front of more than 400 Cathedral alumni at the school’s first-ever Grand Reunion Weekend held on Cathedral’s 40-acre campus.

“This campaign has already been incredibly successful. To date, more than $7 million has been contributed by alumni, community leaders, faculty and staff and friends of Cathedral,” said Cathedral President Stephen J. Helmichm who introduced the initiative. “We are also proud to recognize the most recent gift to the campaign from Indiana University Health and Methodist Sports Medicine, which continues and extends our sports medicine

partnership with the organization.”

Part of the school’s unique mission is to offer its top-level academics to any deserving student, regardless of ability to pay.

“About 40 percent of our students receive some sort of tuition assistance or academic scholarship award,” R. Duane Emery, vice president for enrollment management, said.

To make sure these opportunities will be available for coming generations, the Faith in the Future campaign will raise $1.5 million for endowed chairs and named academic programs and provide $1 million in competitive compensation and professional development for teachers.

Three million will be raised to prefund current tuition needs and create a tuition-assistance endowment for the future.

The Forever Fund will raise $1.75 million for new technologies as they become available. In addition, funds will be available to meet current technology requirements.

For more information on the Faith in the Future campaign or to make a donation, visit FaithintheFutureCampaign.com or call 968-7383.

Creating successful schools

Commentary by State Sen. Luke Kenley

In the 2013 legislative session, the General Assembly approved many initiatives to encourage growth and development legislation in Hoosier schools. One of these laws takes that goal a step further by focusing on administrators and their impact on a school’s success.

When you consider the various roles a principal plays, it’s no surprise that an effective one can make a major difference in a school’s ability to reach its students. A recent study by Harvard- and Stanford-based education journal Education Next found that an effective principal can improve student performance by the equivalent of two to seven extra months of schooling.

If an administrator is significantly ineffective, however, he or she can negatively influence student achievement by a similar amount. This trend is especially important in high-poverty and low-performing schools where an effective principal can have the impact of an additional seven months of learning.

But, when our school principals do not have the proper tools to become better leaders, they often aren’t aware of ways they can improve.

And if a school district doesn’t have the means to get these resources, administrators are sometimes unable to find them on their own.

To solve this problem, our legislature passed a new law that established the Indiana Principal

Leadership Institute through Indiana State University’s Bayh College of Education. At the Institute, participants learn from a wide-ranging curriculum that focuses on many features of school leadership. This includes developing personal goals, improving building-level dynamics and using action research. Additionally, the program facilitates support networks of mentoring administrators and participating principals, which will extend beyond the Institute itself.

The Institute’s first class will accept 50 principals. Participants will be required to attend five seminars each year of the two-year program, and school corporations must contribute a onetime $1,000 fee to solidify the commitment of the principal and superintendent. School districts may nominate a principal if the superintendent and school board believe he or she has the potential to improve their school, are supportive of positive change in the school and will allow data collection to occur.

It’s my belief that this program will better prepare principals to lead, which can only create higher performing schools. That means better results for our students, teachers, parents and the community as a whole. I look forward to seeing how the Indiana Principal Leadership Institute’s first class performs and the positive impact of their efforts.

Interruptions didn’t impact score

editorial@youarecurrent.com

In response to widespread problems associated with CTB McGraw-Hill’s administration of the high-stakes ISTEP+ this ISTEP+ spring, Indiana Supt. of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz hired Dr. Richard Hill of the National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment to review the results.

Among other things, the report shows the following: • Because of the efforts of Ritz

teachers, administrators, students and parents, as well as the swift and decisive actions taken by Ritz, the average negative statewide impact on scores was not measurable. However, this does not mitigate the effect the interruptions had on students, parents and teachers throughout Indiana.

• At this time, the exact impact of interruptions at the individual, classroom and teacher level cannot be ascertained.

“First, I want to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of Indiana students, parents, teachers, administrators and the employees of the Dept. of Education,” said Ritz, a Carmel resident. “Because of their dedication and hard work, the impact of these interruptions was limited. However, let me be clear, the problems with the ISTEP+ contractor were absolutely unacceptable. Every student deserves the opportunity to take a fair and uninterrupted assessment.”

According to the report, Westfield Washington, Carmel Clay, Hamilton Southeastern and Zionsville Community schools students had 5 to 15 percent of its students experience computer interruptions during ISTEP testing in Spring 2013. Noblesville Schools reported 0 to 5 percent of its students were interrupted while taking the tests.

“Although Dr. Hill’s report found that the statewide average score was not affected by the interruptions, there is no doubt that thousands of Hoosier students were affected,” Ritz said. “Because of this, I have given local schools the flexibility they need to minimize the effect these tests have on various matters, such as teacher evaluation and compensation. I have also instructed CTB McGraw-Hill to conduct enhanced stress and load testing to ensure that their servers are fully prepared for next year’s test and ensure that this never happens again.”

The DOE is conducting an ongoing negotiation regarding settlement with CTB McGraw-Hill. Next steps for the department include processing student reports to be available online to parents and students, and calculating A-F accountability results.

Ensure a successful year

By Dr. Raymond J. and Eileen Huntington

As the most important “coaches” in our children’s race to achieve, there are three key steps we can take to prepare them for the journey ahead.

Create a learning space tips Studying is hard work, even more so amid the myriad distractions of television, technology and other factors that may get your child off-track. Establishing a quiet, neat, well-lit space for studying will help your child focus on homework and significantly enhance their ability to retain material. The seating area should be moderately comfortable — with a straight-backed chair that will keep your child relaxed but alert as opposed to soft upholstery, which can encourage drowsiness.

Establish a learning schedule Setting aside a designated period after school or in the early evening that is to be used only for schoolwork is a strategy that has been proven effective for countless students throughout the years. There are several factors that can influence the decision about which time is best. One of the most important relates to your child’s rising and falling energy levels. Some children, for example, may complete homework more successfully by beginning immediately after school, leaving the rest of the late afternoon and evening for other activities. Others may need time to “wind down” after being in school all day before they’re relaxed and focused enough to complete homework successfully.

Another factor is your child’s schedule of extracurricular and athletic activities.

Set the stage for effective parent-teacher communication Begin by either going to the school to introduce yourself, or calling or writing a note. Speak forthrightly about your child’s particular strengths and interests and areas in which he or she may need extra help.

Make sure the teacher knows how to get in touch with you. Communication will be much easier if the teacher knows your name, has your phone number and e-mail address, and is aware of the best time to reach you during the day and evening.

Guiding freshmen toward success Commentary by Dr. Raymond J. Huntington

If your teen is about to begin high school, you may be concerned about the transition. High school, after all, brings higher advice academic expectations and is a significant time of change for most students as they grow into young adults.

As a parent, how can you help your teen survive and thrive his or her first year of high school?

Here are several tips: Get to know the support staff Establishing good advocacy relationships at the outset of high school will be important during the next four years. Encourage your teen to stop into the guidance counselor’s office early on. If he or she feels a connection with a teacher, seek that teacher’s advice and help. Your support will certainly be important throughout high school, but your teen should establish a team of individuals to whom he or she can turn throughout the high school years.

Don’t wait for help High school isn’t easy for everyone - be sure your teen understands the long-term consequences of falling behind and poor grades, and knows that he or she can and should ask for help. While high school teachers expect students to be more independent, don’t let your teen wrongly assume he or she shouldn’t seek assistance during tough times. He or she should visit the teacher outside of class and get outside

tutoring help if needed. Let your teen know you are there to help when they feel overwhelmed by a difficult subject or issue.

Get organized If your teen isn’t a naturally organized person, now is the time to improve those organizational skills. Help your teen set up a reliable system of keeping track of papers that come home. If they have a desk, teach them to keep it tidy and consistently put things in their proper place so that homework time is productive, not frazzled.

Make sure your teen establishes a study routine and sticks to it.

Work on time management Perhaps your teen has grown used to you helping manage his or her time, giving frequent reminders about outside commitments, homework and project due dates. Let your teen take the reins now. Teach him or her to make use of a planner or calendar to stay on top of homework assignments, upcoming tests and other obligations - and plan ahead properly. Guide him or her on this early in high school, but let him or her take responsibility quickly.

Divorce – What To Expect: College Expenses In Indiana in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution or Paternity action, the Court may enter a post-secondary educational expense order requiring that the parties, and/or the child(ren) be responsible for a determined portion of the child’s college expenses. In determining what is a reasonable educational expense order, the Court may consider the following factors: the child's aptitude and ability; the child's reasonable ability to contribute to educational expenses through: (i) work; (ii) obtaining loans; and (iii) obtaining other sources of financial aid reasonably available to the child and each parent; and the ability of each parent to meet these expenses. It is important to note that the child must petition for the Court to allocate these expenses. Often, this request is filed by one of the parties at or near the time the child will enter college. Typically, at the time when the parties separate, the child is young and the issue of payment of college expenses will be reserved until a later time as circumstances can change. If the request is not made in a timely fashion, however, the Court may find it waived and neither party ordered to contribute.

Who pays these costs? In any matter where a court orders college expenses to be paid, the parties and the child at issue may be required to contribute to the payment of college expenses. Absent agreement, the Court will define what share each party and the child will pay as well as which expenses will be paid. It is not uncommon that the child’s share is comprised of or includes any scholarship, loans, or grants obtained.

Further, it is common that any existing 529s at the time of the divorce are applied as the child’s portion of the college expenses. Courts vary on how the expenses are divided given that each family law case is so contextual; however, equal division between each parent and the child is not uncommon. Obviously, the capacity of each person to pay their portion will be considered.

What cost does this include? This is an issue of much current debate; the definition of “college expenses” is not established by statute, leaving the Court (or the parties in an agreement) to determine what this encompasses. Defining these is essential in any agreement or request that the Court do the same.

A simple answer is whatever appears on the Bursar’s statement from the school, but the ancillary costs must be considered to ensure they are not excluded, leaving the child short against these costs unintentionally. It is also typical that the contributions be limited to four years, at a state-supported institution, and certain academic and full-time enrollment elements are met. At times, paying for automobile expenses and/or an allowance for the child is appropriate, but the argument can be made that these are not “necessary” reside with one parent while he or she is attending college, the parent housing the child may ask for “credit” for room and board, however, under current caselaw, he or she must show the actual expenses incurred to house the child to receive such credit.

What if I can no longer afford to pay for college?

Similar to child support, the educational expense order can be modified or terminated based upon a change of circumstance, for instance if a party loses his or her job, that could be a basis upon which to petition the Court to modify the college expense order. Further, the courts are to consider the financial resources of a party, so it is possible that one party not be obligated to pay toward any college expenses depending on the circumstances.

Stop trying to be perfect

Commentary by CJ McClanahan

Every month, my firm hosts a workshop in Fishers that is attended by between 75 and 125 professionals.

A few weeks move the needle before the July event, our sign-ups were down about 75 percent.

We assumed that everyone was on vacation and decided to cancel the event.

The morning of the canceled event, I began to receive messages from people who showed up to the facility wondering, “Why is no one here?

Did you cancel the event?”

Apparently, plenty of people had signed up, we just had a glitch in our system.

Yikes!

I felt absolutely terrible. We quickly went into damage control and held an impromptu meeting to figure out what happened and ensure that we fixed the issue.

I hate mistakes. They are embarrassing, cost money and can damage your brand.

But, they are absolutely necessary. In fact, I typically find that the more successful you are, the more mistakes you have made.

In other words, stop trying to be perfect. Your growth depends on the pain associated with failure.

The key to your success is figuring the best way to deal with your errors. I have some simple strategies that will help you out.

First (and this is the hardest), embrace the blunder and take 100 percent responsibility for whatever took place. Don’t even think about blaming someone else.

Next, document the most important two to three lessons you learned. It’s not enough to recognize and discuss them with someone else.

You need to write them down.

Finally, forget about it. Once you’ve documented your lesson learned, there is absolutely ZERO value in dwelling on the error.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Have you stopped dancing?

Commentary by Jeffery P. Schoonover, M.D.

Do you have aching, painful or restless legs, heaviness, swollen ankles or muscle cramping?

Have you stopped envein health joying dancing or other physical activities because of leg pain? If so, you may have varicose veins. More than half of all women and about 45 percent of men will suffer from varicose vein disease in their lifetime. A family history and aging increase one’s tendency to develop varicose veins. Other factors include a sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, prolonged standing and pregnancy.

Phlebology is the specialized field of venous medicine, recognized by the American Medical Association, which deals with varicose vein disease and related conditions. Vein disorders are not always visible to the naked eye so the first step is to have an examination and diagnostic ultrasound to determine the cause and severity of your vein problems.

The treatments to eliminate varicose veins and all vein abnormalities have improved dramatically in recent years. No longer do most patients need to endure painful surgical vein stripping.

State-of-the-art corrective treatments include endovenous laser treatment, sclerotherapy, ultrasound guided sclerotherapy and microphlebectomy. With these procedures, there is minimal downtime and no sedation so patients are able to return to their daily activities immediately.

Heightened risk – A study from the College of Medicine has found that height in postmenopausal women could mean a higher risk of cancer. The study found that a 10-centimeter increase in height is associated with a 13-percent cancer risk increase. – www. nbcnews.com

EVLT eliminates the abnormal saphenous vein, which is the source of most varicose vein issues.

Using ultrasound technology, a thin laser fiber is guided into the vein through a very small opening to deliver energy to the diseased vein wall, causing the vein to close and eliminating backward blood flow.

Sclerotherapy is a treatment in which a tiny needle is used to inject veins with a medication that irritates the inner lining of the vein and causes it to close. Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy uses ultrasound technology to locate the veins below the surface of the skin while the medication is injected. This procedure is often used in addition to EVLT. Microphlebectomy is a method of removal of varicose veins at the surface of the skin. Small micro-incisions are made next to the vein and sections of the vein are removed through these tiny nicks. This is performed in the doctor’s office using a local anesthetic. Results are immediate.

There is no way to completely prevent varicose veins, but if you’d like to keep dancing, watch your weight, exercise regularly, eat a diet high in fiber and low in salt and wear compression stockings.

Setup or set up?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Jordan: Keep up the good work with your grammar column.

If I don’t read anything else in Current, I read your article. Comment on “setup” vs “set up.” I believe I know the differgrammar guy ence, and I see it used (what I think is) incorrectly many times.” (Peter Fruehman) Answer: Thanks for writing in, Peter. The theme for the column lately seems to be noun versus verb forms, and this question fits right into that.

“Setup,” as you probably know, is a noun. It has a lot of wordy definitions, the best being “the manner in which the elements or components of a machine, apparatus or system are arranged, designed or assembled.”

More simply, “setup” is how things are put together: “The setup for prom looks great.” If you’re a fan of noir or mobster documentaries, you know that “setup” can also mean something done “by deceit or trickery in order to compromise or frame someone.” In certain circumstances (computers come to mind) “setup” can also be used as an adjective: “Run the setup program.” “I lost my setup disk.”

“Set up,” on the other hand, is a verb through and through. It means to “establish, cause, lay plans for or place in an upright position.” You can set up a lawn chair. You can set up your child with a college fund. Eating breakfast can set you up for a successful day. Etc. If “setup” is the way things are put together, “set up” is actually doing the putting together.

“Set up,” like “setup,” can also mean “to put someone else into a compromising situation by deceit or trickery.” It’s simply the verb form.

One last note: “Set-up” is not a word. So don’t use it.

The roots of Islam may lie in this ancient city Commentary by Don Knebel

Bosra, an ancient city in southern Syria, contains the world’s first minaret, a basalt structure inspired by a Christian bell Travel tower. A monk from Bosra may also have been the inspiration for the religious views of Muhammad, the founder of Islam.

Egyptian records from 1400 B.C. refer to Bosra, which eventually came under the control of the Nabateans, the people of Petra. The Romans, who captured the city in the second century, made Bosra the capital of their Arabia province and built a still functioning 15,000 seat theater.

Lying along the Roman road from Damascus to the Red Sea, Bosra later became a major Christian city, with a large sixth century cathedral attesting to its importance.

In 580 A.D., Muhammad, then about 10 years old, reportedly stopped in Bosra with his uncle, a Meccan caravan driver. While there, Muhammad met with a monk named Bahira, who taught him about Christianity from the Nestorian (or perhaps Arian) perspective. Nestorian and Arian Christians rejected the belief that Jesus had been born divine and that Mary was the “Mother of God,” arguing that the notion of God producing offspring through a human mother had unmistakably pagan origins. As a result, they were considered heretics by orthodox Christians living further west.

Loudspeakers atop the seventh century minaret in Bosra still call the faithful to prayer. (Submitted photo)

According to Islamic tradition, Bahira told the young Muhammad he was destined to correct the mistaken views of orthodox Christianity about the nature of Jesus. The Quran, which Muhammad said came to him from an angel, says, speaking of God, “Far be it from His glory to have a son.”

So similar is this and comparable statements to the claims of Nestorians and Arians that some scholars believe the Quran builds on the tenets of non-orthodox Syrian Christianity Bahira taught Muhammad in Bosra, noting that Syrian Christians both then and now refer to God as “Allah.”

Today, Bosra is a city of about 20,000 people, some living among the ancient ruins. Loud speakers atop the seventh century minaret still call the faithful to prayer. And most visitors leave unaware that the roots of Islam may lie in this once Christian city and its unorthodox monk.

Decorating layer by layer

Commentary by Vicky Earley

I have heard designers say that every beautiful room needs to start with a rug. I have read advice in decorating magazines stating Interiors that a palette is the beginning. I disagree with both schools of thought.

I believe that the first item that the foundation should be is the one that sets the mood, evokes the strongest emotion, and says the most about the room. The first layer is a textile that takes your breath away.

It is far easier to plan a color around a beloved fabric than to search through acres and acres of fabric books for a textile that will work with an arbitrary color.

More often than not, that incredibly beautiful fabric that has stolen your heart will come packaged with a breathtaking price tag. Fear not. Remember that is just one fabulous fabric and when mixed judiciously with moderately priced fabrics, it elevates all the players in the room.

When it comes to mixing, most homeowners are quite comfortable with pairing a pattern with a solid. Beyond that, the thought of adding more strikes the heart of design cowardice, and that is where an average room and an amazing room part ways. .

This inspiration fabric should have at least three colors which can be blended with two or more additional fabrics. Vary the fabrics with contrast, texture, scale, sheen, and pattern.

Leave your fear behind and experiment with different fabric samples until you find a combination that feels comfortable with the balance of color, scale and pattern. Once identified, move ahead bravely with a plan of where they will be used. Spread the fabrics around the room to create balance. For example, if you use your

The second fabric could be used as a duvet cover and for window shades and to upholster one chair. Your third fabric might be a luxurious solid linen that can be used to trim the window treatments, make shams or throw pillows for the bed and to cover a bench at the foot of the bed and the second chair.

Don’t forget that your walls and floor coverings are additional areas for color, pattern and scale. Consider those elements, as well as the style and scale of your furniture, when planning your perfectly layered room.

FASHION POLICE We uncovered the 5 fashion rules you should NEVER break, according to InStyle magazine.

1. Never show visible panty lines (VPL). This is inexcusable!

Opt for seamless underwear or a thong, and make sure your pants aren’t too snug.

2. Just because its trendy doesn’t mean you should wear it. Not everyone should wear every trend. Pick and choose what is best for your personality and body type.

SALON 01: THE ONE SALON FOR MEN & WOMEN Salon 01 is committed to excellence. We strive to exceed expectations with every service and every product for each guest every day.

We believe in introducing you to many other team members in the salon, hoping that you will feel comfortable visiting any stylist or any technician based on appointment times that are most convenient for you.

3. Don’t bare your midriff unless you’re at the beach.

Make sure your shirts aren’t too small so your midsection remains covered.

Salon 01 offers French Hair Cutting. We use this method because we believe that this system gives softer, more feminine layers that are complimentary to the face shape of the guest.

4. Never buy shoes that don’t fit. Suffering in the name of fashion is never a good idea! If they don’t fit in the store, chances are you will be miserable trying to wear them for an extended period of time.

WHAT’S YOUR CONDITION? As summer is winding down, and kids are about to head back school, have you considered how your hair fared over the summer? If you’re like us, your hair may have been damaged from too much sun, chlorine or saltwater. Here are some tips on how to turn things around for this fall:

5. Don’t pay attention to sizes.

There are no international guidelines for sizing. No one can see the size that appears on the tag, so don’t stress! Depending on the store or brand you may have a range of numbers that appear in your closet.

1. Ask your stylist about in-salon hair conditioning treatments. Professional conditioning treatments can virtually reverse the ravages of summer-induced damage. Your stylist can recommend a regular regimen over the next several weeks to almost completely restore the integrity of your hair.

Find Us on Facebook

S a l o n

You will notice the difference of this technique from the beginning of the service.

Salon 01 is an education based salon. We encourage our staff to share their educational experiences with you, and we encourage you to ask questions about what is happening at Salon 01 because there is always something new.

We love the opportunity to educate our guests on our techniques, our products, the services we offer and our community involvement.

Check out our website for additional information about Salon 01 at www.salon01.com!

2. Get a good, healthy trim. It is time to start thinking about your new fall hair style anyway.

While you are at it, get some of the damaged ends cut off. Your hair will again feel healthy and vibrant with just a nice trim.

3. Start using a leave in conditioner on a daily basis. Get in the habit now to help promote healthy, hydrated hair all year long!

Remember, when all that fun in the sun starts to take its toll, it is important to take care of your tresses, after all it is the most important accessory you own! A stylist at Salon 01 would be happy to recommend an in-salon and take home conditioner that is right for you!

The goal was to bring the space into current times while keeping costs in line with the potential selling price. The focus for this project thus involved cosmetic changes only, working The outdated kitchen needed to be modernized without a large financial investment.
