1931 Marmon Sixtenn Four Door Sedan on display at Conner Prairie’s inaugural Festival of Machines Sept. 13 and 14. (Submitted photo)

Conner Prairie hosts machines

By Beth Taylor • news@currentinfishers.com

Take a trip to Conner Prairie Interactive History Park Sept. 13 and 14 to discover how Indiana innovators played a role in shaping exhibiits the nation’s automotive industry.

The inaugural Festival of Machines will display concours-quality vintage cars, military aircraft, tractors, steam engines, and construction equipment. Visitors can meet racecar driver Pippa Mann, learn about building soap-box derby cars, and take a ride in a Dallara IndyCar. “The real story is just how important Indiana’s automotive history is Indiana car companies were prolific. There was so much talent and so much ingenuity that Indiana could have rivaled Detroit,” said Chris Petrelli, director of programs and education at Conner Prairie.

A select group of classic cars will be featured throughout the weekend festival, highlighted by exclusive, well-maintained models, such as a 1933 Marmon Sixteen Victoria Coupe. Local-at-the-time Marmon Motor Car Company produced the first winning car at the first Indianapolis 500 race. Also on hand will be a 1914 Stutz Bearcat and a 1927 Cadillac Duel Cowl Phaeton.

“Without a doubt, the 500 brought those innova-

tive minds to Indiana, and propelled the entire auto industry forward,” said Petrelli.

Planning for the large-scale, all-things-transportation festival began months ago. Petrelli and his team look for ways to highlight the scientific concepts to be informative and educational as well as entertaining. “In addition to getting to see vintage automobiles and machines not usually seen, kids also get hands-on activities, like being able to design a vehicle,” said Petrelli.

Although 8- to 12-year-olds may receive the greatest educational benefit, most programs will appeal to a general audience.

IndyCar driver Pippa Mann will appear daily to meet fans, take photos, and sign autographs. Mann will also share information about her partnership with Glass Hammer Racing, which seeks to engage young women interested in motorsports careers as well as other science, technology, engineering and math-related careers.

Admission to Conner Prairie’s Festival of Machines presented by Ricker’s is free for members; for nonmembers, the cost is $15 for adults, $14 for seniors age 65 and over and $10 for youth ages 2 through 12. Active and veteran military personnel with proper identification will be admitted free. For more information, go to www.connerprairie.org or call 776-6000.

Lola and Izzy enjoy Woofstock with their human companion Cindy.

The Humane Society for Hamilton County reports that it raised approximately $69,000 despite slightly lower attendance at Dog Day Afternoon featuring Woofstock on Aug. 23 at the Nickel Plate Amphitheater in Fishers.

The Humane Society’s Jennifer Judd thinks the weather kept some people away this year. The “Parade of Paws” dog walk, which is a featured part of the event, raised money specifically for Survivor Program – a program that provides emergency medical care for animals arriving in need of lifesaving treatment.

The Humane Society has a wish list of items on its website, www.hamiltonhumane.com/how-to-help/wish-listitems, for people wanting to make a donation in goods. A financial donation can also be made on the website.

The next big event is Barktember from noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 6 at The Waterpark at 1195 Central Park Drive West, Carmel.

Rubik’s Cube competition in Fishers

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com The Indiana Rubik’s Cube Open took place at the Fishers library on Aug. 23 and featured participants of all ages competition who competed in various speed-based, puzzle-solving competitions. Fishers resident Mike Hughey is a past national champion and he runs this annual event which, for 2014, was the secondlargest official Rubik’s cube competition in the U.S. According to Hughey, 121 competitors from five different countries attended this year’s Indiana event.

“We had five of the current United States national champions attending the competition and we had two world records set,” he stated.

Jana-Wrenay and Paul Heck traveled to the Indiana Rubik’s Cube Open from Arkansas so their sons Walker, 11, and Jackson, 13, could compete.

“I just practice to learn to do it so fast,” shared Walker while working on solving a cube. “I’m not looking at what I’m doing right now; I’m looking at what I’m going to do.”

Paul Heck went on to explain that his kids get instructions for solving the cubes from YouTube videos. “Some of the guys they’ve watched on YouTube are here competing, and that’s exciting for them.”

The Indiana Open event featured many different events with several types of cubes. Competitors do use the familiar 3×3 cubes that look like the ones on toy store shelves, but there are also 2×2 and 4×4 cubes, as well as an astounding 6×6 option and the uniquely-shaped Pyraminx. Events

included solving the different models of cubes in the fastest times, in the fewest amounts of moves and solving them blindfolded.

Mike Hughey has been competing since 2007 and has held several national titles for the blindfolded events. He went on to explain how he became involved in the competitions.

“I originally started with the Rubik’s cube in the early ‘80s and figured out how to solve it. In 2006 I got interested again and decided it would be fun to work on solving it fast. I learned to solve it blindfolded and I was hooked,” he said.

The Rubik’s Cube Indiana Open has grown so much in popularity that the event will be moved in 2015 to a larger space at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. Check the World Cube Association website at www.worldcubeassociation.org for information on upcoming competitions.

HSE monitors athletic fee impact

By Ray Compton • news@currentinfishers.com

A neighboring athletic director in Hamilton County admits he is closely monitoring the new policy at the Hamilton SoutheastSports ern school district where schools are implementing for the first time this year a participation fee in athletics.

“I think all of us athletic directors want to see what happens,” noted the athletic director. “We are curious to see if it is the direction all of us may be heading toward in the future.”

For now, the results are incomplete. That’s the opinion of Hamilton Southeastern Chief Financial Officer Mike Reuter, who is also gauging the results of the new program that has been instilled at the two high schools (Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern) and the three junior high schools (Riverside, Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern).

“The impact has yet to be determined,” said Reuter. “We’re just into the fall sports so we are early in the year. We know it is a big jump for everyone.”

In order to soften the blow of the new participation fee, Reuter and his staff designed numerous financial tiers that factor multiple

sports participation; academic achievements; and more than one family participant involved in sports. The base fee is $225, but the rates can be dramatically reduced if an athlete and his or her family qualify for reductions.

However, Reuter warns that the system may never go away.

“We’ve trimmed our expenses as much as we can,” said the HSE administrator. “No one wanted to impose the participation fee but we have to raise additional revenue or limit our programs.”

And while the sports participation fee is new at Hamilton Southeastern, the battle regarding funding has been an on-going campaign since the state started doling out less revenue to all Indiana public schools.

“It is a sad reality that many districts don’t receive enough state funding,” Reuter said. “We have to protect the classroom and this is a step toward that accomplishment. At this point, I don’t see it going away, but we will evaluate the situation at the end of the year and adjust the fees if we have to do.”

The participation fees are projected to bring in over $350,000 to help offset the cost of sports in the schools.

A trip to the State Fair

Commentary by Heather Kestian

My son went to the Indiana State Fair twice this year. Admittedly, it is one of our very favorite annual treks. In my opinion, plain talk the best part of the fair is the Dairy Bar. Holy cow, I love that place! Pepper jack grilled cheese and the best darn chocolate milk shake this side of the Mississippi? Yes, please! We have taken the same picture by the pig outside of the Swine Barn for six years. Without that yearly pig photo, I am not sure I could tell my children are growing up.

Every year, the older child inevitably asks to play the Goldfish game. I am hesitant because I do not yet have the words to explain death. I have no problem putting off this little topic for another day.

This year, on his second trip to the State Fair, he went with his nearest and dearest friend. I know now why these old souls are not brothers. They were destined to be best friends. Their conversations are priceless. True friendship really is a gift.

These dear children ended up at the Goldfish game. Guess who had an amazing arm that day?

One awesome throw of a ball and my child added another member to our family. Meet Goldie the

Goldfish, he (yes, he) is an amazing little goldfish and fits in well with Callie the Calico Cat. My knack for appropriate naming of pets has officially been passed along to my older child.

We had a heads up that we were the proud parents of a new fish, so the hubby went to the store for a tank and goodies. Goldie settled in quite nicely, and was tucked in, as much as a fish can be tucked in, by everyone at night. The little child felt the need to kiss the tank at bedtime. I concede, this may be the best State Fair win in the history of our State Fair attendance.

Honestly, I was unsure whether Goldie would make it. He seemed a little lethargic at bedtime and I thought he would be belly up by morning. My hubby and I triaged the problem and came up with a plan to go to the store and a plan to discuss death. Luckily, neither plan had to be used. Goldie survived.

One of my husband’s co-workers said her child’s State Fair fish lived for 16 years. Heaven help us.

Lifeline Law awareness campaign

By State Sen. Jim Merritt (R-Indianapolis) When young people begin college, they are given newfound freedoms. But those freedoms come along with new government risks, including the temptation to abuse alcohol.

Today, about 40 percent of college students binge drink.

Indiana’s Lifeline Law provides legal protections to minors under the influence of alcohol who call to report a medical emergency or a crime, and any of the party-goers who stay with the person in need of medical attention until help arrives. When someone is facing an emergency, we don’t want fear of prosecution to stop those around them from doing the right thing.

It is vital for students and parents to know about the Lifeline Law and the steps they can take to save a life. Recently, Indiana launched a new, widespread outreach initiative dedicated to informing students and parents about the Lifeline Law. Students in Indiana accessing the Internet through their college or university will now receive information about the Lifeline Law on Facebook, YouTube and Pandora. The messaging will occur through triangulation between cell towers, creating a digital dome over the geography of a campus.

There will also be a series of statewide radio advertisements featuring testimonials from par-

ents who lost a child from the effects of binge drinking.

One of the messages you will be hearing on the radio features Dawn Finbloom. Her son, Brett, died of alcohol poisoning at a party where everyone in attendance was underage. His friends were too scared to call for help. Dawn and her husband Norm are dedicated to informing the public about their story and preventing the loss of young Hoosier lives.

More than 100,000 Lifeline messages have also been distributed and used in Indiana’s package liquor stores.

I am very thankful for Big Red Liquors, the Indiana Association of Beverage Retailers, the Indiana Youth Services Association, the Foundation For Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, Monarch Beverage Company, the Kroger Company, Walmart and the Wine and Spirits Distributors of Indiana coming together to raise $40,000—making this much-needed outreach program a reality for college campuses in the state of Indiana.

By working together, we can help spread the Lifeline message, “Make the call; Save a life,” to students and parents across the state.

“I knew Tom was stubborn enough to overcome the setbacks of his stroke, he just needed the right encouragement.”

Tom’s recovery from the stroke was challenging for both of us. I never doubted that he would walk again—I worried about finding him the best care possible. I was immediately comfortable with the caring staff at Westminster Village North. With each visit, I saw Tom getting stronger. The therapist constantly encouraged him, and kept me involved in his care. Before long, Tom was back on his feet, thanks to his determination and the wonderful staff that treated us like family.

What could be better than a beautiful, newlyrenovated salon that offers every service you can think of? How about one now open that offers alcoholic beverages too?

That’s what you get with the new Beauty Bar at Geist which opened in a previous salon space after lots of remodeling.

Erin and Chad Hunt opened the salon in May. Erin Hunt said they offer everything a good salon should offer.

“It’s kind of a one-stop shop for beauty salons: Hair, nails, skincare, massage therapy, waxing, alcohol,” she said, talking about the fact that her salon is unique in that it has a bar and offers alcoholic drinks in addition to all the usual services that you expect in a beauty salon.

“We have some cool, boutiquey cocktails. And we also have more common wines and beer and that kind of thing. We have the Blonde Bombshell, which is elderflower and Champaign and people are loving it,” she said and added that they are the only salon that she is aware of in the area that has an actual liquor license and can legally sell drinks to clients.

Hunt says that customer reaction has been good.

Fishers roads are on a collision course Commentary by Larry Lannan

Fishers is facing a road crisis on two fronts.

In the western part of town, the roadways are nearing their 20-year explain talk pected lifespan and will need resurfacing. In the newly annexed areas to the east, there are many streets made up of “chip and seal” county roads.

In a recent work session, Fishers Town Manager (and mayor elect) Scott Fadness told the town council additional subdivisions in the eastern part of town are seeing construction vehicles and regular traffic volumes far beyond what those roads were built to withstand.

What about the impact fees Fishers collects from developers of new subdivisions? According to Fadness, those funds can only go to “infrastructure expansion” and cannot be used for maintenance costs. In other words, impact fee money cannot be used to repave an existing road, the road would have to be expanded to utilize those funds.

Finding money for maintenance is one of the town’s (and next year, city’s) budget challenges.

Fadness called finding money to resurface current roads the “most dire” road issue.

Fadness told council members the challenge is to not only provide money to expand and build-out existing roadways, but also find money for maintenance needed on existing streets and roads.

One place Fishers may be able to fund road maintenance in the short term is from cash re-

serves. Fadness said Fishers will begin 2015 with $16.1 million in cash reserves. Normal budgeting parameters would only require a cash reserve of about $11.2 million.

That leaves some flexibility for Fishers to potentially dip into the cash reserves and fund badly needed road maintenance, at least for now.

Jeff Hill, Fishers Director of Engineering, provided council members with a map identifying the best and worst roadways on a color-coded scale.

Building and maintaining streets and roads is one of the basic responsibilities of local government. There is a clear gap between the need for money to handle this and the actual funding available based on state law.

Fadness told the council state officials are aware of this gap. “(The state) has had a number of studies commissioned that shows the infrastructure funding gap that exists today,” Fadness said. “There are a lot of different conversations about how we’re going to go about finding enough revenue to maintain this.”

Fishers will be talking to state lawmakers about ensuring the money is there to take care of our local roads.

We all want our kids to be happy, fit and compete successfully in sports. Unfortunately, youth athletics is trending toward two dangerous outcomes – early specializahealthy kids tion and professionalism.

Early sports specialization reduces overall potential athleticism and leads to overuse injuries previously only seen in adult professional athletes. Athletic-related surgeries have increased five to seven times since 2000 according to top orthopedic surgeon to the pros, Dr. James Andrews. Younger, developing bodies are not able to handle the stress associated with long or year-round seasons and intensive, professional type conditioning programs.

A plan that encourages long-term athletic development is shown to provide greater sports success in the late teens compared to early specialization regardless of the chosen sport and reduces the potential for common overuse injuries. Use these guidelines to put your young athlete on the ideal path of development.

Younger than 8 years old Encourage daily free play. Playground activities where kids can be creative and make up their own rules without the input of adults are ideal. Let them run, jump, climb and simply be kids. When kids demonstrate the ability to follow rules and stay engaged, begin to include group-

structured activities like martial arts and gymnastics that are ideal to teach movement awareness, balance and develop total body strength.

8 to 14 years old Play a variety of sports. Pick one sport per season such as football or soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring.

Polls show that most of the best Olympic and professional athletes played two to four different sports growing up before finding their niche in a single sport. Begin a supervised, structured but generalized sports conditioning and strength training program to support their on-field performance and protect against injury.

15 to 18 years old Physical growth, maturity and body type will lead to specialization in one or two primary sports, but young athletes should be encouraged to have at least one full off-season away from their sports. Off-season emphasis on total body strength development and sport-specific conditioning provide athletes with a competitive advantage over athletes that play their sport year round.

The women effect

Local organization supports women-led causes and seeks to impact one girl at a time

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com

“The fastest way to change society is to mobilize the women of the world.”

Those were the words of early 20th-cencover story tury philosopher Charles Malik. That sentiment is the premise of an organization called Women Like Us that supports women-led movements.

Fishers resident Deb Myers is the president of Women Like Us which has grown to have local, national and even global reach.

Myers says the organization, which is a 501(c)(3) public charity, is dedicated to encouraging, empowering and engaging women and girls to make a difference globally and locally.

“Essentially that’s what the whole program what and the foundation is: Empowering women to make change. And so if we empower them and educate them at a young age, hopefully the path they take in life will be happy and healthy. They have choices. They have confidence to be able to move forward. Ideally, that is what it is all about,” said Myers.

She and co-founder and CEO Linda Rendleman started the organization in 2009.

“We support women-led causes. We support women that are changing the world. Our mission statement is ‘We bring those together of like mind and spirit, who want to make the world a better place by lifting up the work of women around the world,’” said Rendleman.

Women Like Us does this in several ways. They do it locally through a program called One Girl at a Time and they do it through humanitarian trips to impoverished countries.

One Girl at a Time is a free program in which girls are nominated by their high school to participate in monthly meetings in which issues such as health, nutrition, bullying, eating disorders, career counseling and even interview skills are discussed. As many as 20 girls are chosen and of that number, four are awarded an end-of-year trip to Costa Rica to participate in a humanitarian venture. Currently, the program is conducted at North Central High School but in the past six years it has been held at many other local schools as well.

“We’re recognizing the need for this. The counselors I’ve talked to will tell you the same – that the schools are so big, they’re spread so thin and their liability issues are so different that they can’t counsel the way they used to. And they might have 200 kids to one person so that personal level of mentorship isn’t there,” said Myers. “We’re talking about some of those media-driven issues like what makes a beautiful girl. They spend 90 percent of their day on social media and TV and this is what they are aspiring to: If I look like this, dress like this and am this thin, (that) makes

me a successful person.”

The trip to Costa Rica is part of the Women Like Us humanitarian travel program in which volunteers engage in a variety of initiatives such as helping to get a school started, helping to bring clean drinking water to a village, teaching English, giving dental treatments and teaching healthy habits. Myers says not only are

the girls helping those who are less fortunate, they are learning valuable life lessons about giving back.

The organization also travels to India and Uganda and recently returned from a trip to Kenya, where they are involved in helping a preschool founded by local artist Nancy Noel.

Women Like Us also gets involved in local issues that directly affect women according to Myers.

“We have city-wide campaigns every year that directly tackle issues like human sex trafficking and the importance of giving back in your particular communities. And so when you hear this buzz in the city about a specific topic, oftentimes we are at the helm of creating that noise,” she said. The organization was on the Indiana Attorney General’s task force on sex trafficking when the Super Bowl was held in Indianapolis in 2011 and they hold regular symposiums on a variety of issues as well.

Women Like Us is made up of volunteers and relies on corporate and private donors and fundraising events to sustain their programs. They hold a Tea and Speaker series every fall that addresses an issue that has been dealt with throughout the year.

“We’re creating awareness and educating through the tea. The symposium that we recently had brought together like-minded individuals in the city that specialized in areas that come together to promote, create change, lead discussion, learn from each other on how to make our world a better place,” said Myers. The next Tea and Speakers series will be Oct. 14 at Union Station in downtown Indianapolis and features Robin Emmons, a woman who grows fresh food to feed the homeless in her community.

Myers said the “women effect” is about changing the world lovingly.

“I think when my kids started to grow up and I realized how blessed I was and especially coming from a family of strong, supportive women, I realized the power of when we all get together and try to do great things,” she said.

Labor of love

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Liberal hypocrisy is at it again A lot of things make us shake our heads, and it’s probably the same with you. This time it’s hypocrisy from none other than ultragenius investor Warren Buffett. You may recall, Buffett, one of President Barack Obama’s “core economic advisors, ” jumped on the president’s tax-fairness bandwagon. In fact, in 2011, the White House, in its zeal to raise taxes, named a policy the “Buffett Rule.” It was written to prohibit the “wealthy” from claiming myriad (but still legal) tax breaks. Buffett went so far as to say he shouldn’t be paying a lower tax rate than his secretary is paying. Fast forward to today: Buffett and his company, Berkshire Hathaway, are helping to finance Burger King’s acquisition of Canada-based Tim Horton’s for a reported $12.5 billion. The deal will allow Burger King to reincorporate in Canada, and, theoretically, lower its tax bill. This move, more commonly referred to as tax inversion, has been heavily criticized by the White House in the past, calling it an “unpatriotic tax loophole.”

Remember that? Buffett’s company says it will pay the U.S. corporate tax rate on any income it receives from this deal. However, if the corporation’s new tax rate is lower as a result of this deal, and all things being equal, Buffett will earn more than if this company was domiciled in the U.S. Even though he says he’ll pay the U.S. rate, it will be against a larger number as a result of the potential savings in taxes.

Bottom line, he makes more money because of the new tax structure. As usual, the liberals just love rules that apply to others, but never to themselves.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Generally true Commentary by Terry Anker With the recent if-not-surprising revelation that perennial candidate Joe Hogsett has set out to pursue his desire to become the chief executive officer of the City of Indianapolis, political pundits and media outlets (hungry for the competition and likely, for the millions of dollars that will be spent on campaign ads) are ecstatic. And for many average citizens, Hogsett may bring a greater competition to the field and therefore accomplish a better outcome – whoever may prove victorious.

With the onslaught of parlor talk about this candidate or that comes a wave of tiresome speculation about the political demographic of a community. Indianapolis is a Democrat town. What does this mean? Indiana is a Republican state. The identical interrogatory is presented. Can a geographic area be a member of a political party?

Certainly, this highly literal interpretation is a little silly. The wags no doubt are referring to the historical proclivity of a group to vote a certain way. They assess the race, education level and

other factors to “determine” a likely vote and ascribe the outcome of elections based upon the data.

But in determining that one group or another is not capable of voting outside of a stereotype is a disappointing dismissal of free will. Powerful and entrenched leaders often stray from the electorate and pay the ultimate political price for it. Other times, upstarts mount stunningly successful outsider efforts and thus ascend to high office. American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes is attributed as saying that “no generalization is wholly true, not even this one.”

But when generalizations are often enough true, must not we account for them in our reasoning? If it is foolhardy to dismiss the reality of a latent political bias, is it equally irresponsible to ignore the weight of a myriad of other factors?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.

– Horace

It’s 3:59 a.m. I’m sitting on the couch in Chicago talking with one of my brothers-inlaw while his wife, my youngest humor sister, is grimacing in pain next to me. She’s in labor with her first baby, and trying to decide whether or not it’s time to go to the hospital. Watching her clutch the Dammit Doll I gave her as she mumbles some choice curse words tells me it probably is.

I’m tired and my head is throbbing. I arrived around seven o’clock last night after a full day of teaching and a long drive through a severe thunderstorm and a solid hour of Windy City rush-hour traffic. I still have several appointments to cancel and reschedule, a carpooling duty to push off on a fellow mom, and oh yes, this column to finish and submit. It was due about six hours ago. I raced out of the house so fast I failed to bring a change of clothing, though I did remember my sound machine and sleep mask. Not that I’ll be getting much sleep.

Despite the hour, despite the headache, and despite the stress of reorganizing my working mom’s end-of-the-week hectic schedule, there’s no place I’d rather be. This is my thing.

Of my four sisters, five sisters-in-law, and a handful of good friends, I’ve been able to participate in almost all of their labor experiences.

Not the actual births – I don’t need to see those horror shows again – but the hours and hours leading up to the big moment. The time spent soothing and comforting, retrieving ice chips, criticizing mean nurses and stupid doctors, Facebooking dilation status and playing the guessing game of Baby’s ETA. I was trying to count how many hospital rooms I’d been in as an amateur doula, and I think this will be the 18th. Honest to God, if this teacher gig doesn’t pan out, I’ll probably become a labor/delivery nurse. (Or a hair stylist. They both hold great appeal for me.) I love it! Some of the best memories I have revolve around a sister or friend in labor: Another brother-in-law dressed in a gray muumuu bathrobe, a killer round of Charades with a sister doped on narcotics, and a misguided search for the nursery that resulted in the a back stairwell trapping with the dad-to-be for 45 minutes. Good times, good times.

The Dammit Doll just flew across the room and bounced off the flat screen. Guess this means it time to go. I promise to give a full report in my next article should all turn out well. Until then, here’s hoping for a healthy and safe labor and delivery, and maybe an amusing anecdote or two.

Peace out.

The lesson from Ferguson

Commentary by Carl Brizzi

As a former prosecutor, I support law enforcement and can say that most police officers are decent folks and good at their opinion jobs. The recent events in Ferguson, Mo., however, underscore a serious and growing problem of the militarization of local police forces. Neighborhoods should not be warzones; the police should not employ paramilitary equipment and tactics on its own citizens. Police officers are not occupying soldiers and should not fire tear gas into the backyards of homeowners who are exercising their First Amendment rights.

During the Clinton administration, Congress passed the “1033 Program” to pass along “surplus” military equipment to domestic law enforcement agencies. According to the Department of Defense, 8,000 agencies at all levels of government participate. Since 1997, the federal government has transferred over four billion dollars of equipment, like armored vehicles, grenade launchers and remote control robots to local police agencies. Albeit cool, none of these military weapons actually do anything to prevent crime.

And, as Ferguson evidences, it also contributes to the police appearing aloof and citizens feeling like enemy combatants.

Historically in the greater Indianapolis area, officials have agreed that the best way to prevent and deter crime is improved communication and

an intimate knowledge of the neighborhoods.

This is a concept called community policing and emphasizes collaboration and cooperation between law enforcement and citizens. This type of policing is a value system where police/prosecutors work cooperatively with citizens to resolve issues identified to specific neighborhoods. This should not be mistaken as being soft on crime.

On the contrary, community policing improves the ability of the police to catch and prosecute the bad guys because cops can’t do it alone-they need our eyes and ears.

Catching bad guys is only part of the job. An effective police force becomes problem solvers who understand the importance of taking care of the little things before they become big things.

Vandalism, truancy, abandoned vehicles and homes are all issues that affect the livability of a neighborhood. The partnership works together to improve the overall living condition. This paints a radically different visual then the images we’ve seen from Ferguson. Fergusonians don’t need tanks to fight crime – they need leaders who understand that a soldier’s mission is to engage and destroy the enemy. But a police officer’s mission is to protect and serve the community.

Carl Brizzi served two terms as Marion County prosecutor before starting the Carl Brizzi & Associates law firm. He may contacted at 6344994 or www.carlbrizzi.com.

READER’S VIEW Ferguson is a mess, but not the one you think Editor, I read your article on “Ferguson: Wrong on many levels.” You seem to be biased in the article. Yes, it is a mess. But answer the question, “Who created this mess?” And second, it was a character assassination.

Why do you think the Brown family lawyer had to be talking to Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton?

Haven’t we all at some time used a phrase that was created by someone else? It makes me wonder what the outcome would have been if a

black police officer shot and killed an “unarmed” white teenager.

This country is going backwards in race relations. It seems to me that ever since Barack Obama became president, there has been a war against black boys. Just saying. The one thing I do agree with you on is that looting is stealing and is wrong. I don’t condone it but some people do outrageous and unacceptable things when they are angry or frustrated.

Carmel Palladium marks 1,000th show with Martina McBride Performance

By Tonya Burton • editorial@youarecurrent.com On her latest hit album, “Everlasting,” Martina McBride sings, “If you don’t know me by now, you will never ever know me.” No? If that’s true, it’s worth the effort to keep trying. Martina brings a brand new show to Music the Palladium on Sept. 5, marking the Palladium’s 1,000th show and Martina’s second appearance at the venue.

I spoke to her by phone on Aug. 26 and she reports this tour is different from anything she’s done before. The current show is comprised of an 11-piece band, including four horn players and three back-up singers, who are choreographed Motown style. Along with the iconic soul songs from the “Everlasting” album, the show will seamlessly blend Martina’s signature hit songs.

Martina brings a singleness of purpose to her music.

“It’s all I ever wanted to do,” she said. “I knew from an early age, maybe 5 or 6, that I could sing.” At age 7, she began singing with her father’s country band in Sharon, Kan., where she was born. In 1992, at age 26, she released “My Baby Loves Me,” which became the first of a string of hits, making her one of the most successful female country artists of all time. To date, Martina has sold more than 18 million albums which have included 20 Top 10 singles and six No. 1 hits. She has three wins as “Top Female Vocalist” from the Academy of Country Music.

This is a major accomplishment, particularly, in the current climate of country music where radio play is dominated by male “bro” bonding. It is extremely difficult to have a No. 1 hit without significant radio play, yet Martina did it. In doing so, she broke yet another historic landmark.

She is the first solo female artist to debut as No. 1 on the Top Country Albums Chart with an independently released and distributed label. Additionally, she has created her own radio show on Sirius XM Y2Kountry, playing songs she wants to play.

When asked who her musical influences were, she replied, “There’s a lot – Linda Ronstadt, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt. I liked Pat Benatar a lot, too.” I mentioned the documentary, “20 Feet From Stardom,” about phenomenally accomplished back-up singers who never broke out as solo artists. She obviously had given this some thought, as she relied quickly, “Not everyone is cut out to be a solo artist. It takes singleminded dedication … and there’s a certain fate and luck combination there too.”

When asked if she thought she’d still be making albums in her 60s, she said, “What else am I gonna do? This is what I do.”

Martina is having so much fun with this new tour. She’s added 40 dates, seven of which have already sold out. Regarding the Palladium, Martina said, “We’ve played there before and we love it. It’s a beautiful venue.”

Martina’s songs sometimes tackle serious issues, such as domestic violence, child abuse and cancer. I asked where she gets her ideas and if she sees story images in her head as she’s writing. “Sometimes I see it. Usually though, it’s a collaborative effort to bring it to life in the videos.” She reports the ideas come to her when she hears real life stories that touch her in some way.

She also likes to enjoy the happy side of life. When asked what her next project will be, Martina replied, “I want to do an album of originals next.

After that, maybe some gospel, acoustic and standards. Right now, I’m just having fun with this tour. Usually, I’m a homebody, but this tour is different – it’s just plain fun. We’re all having such a good time.”

Getting ready for the season ahead Commentary by Joe Drozda with Bob Bley Summer is almost over and the football season is about to begin. It’s been months since you’ve thought about tailgating, hasn’t it? If you’ve tailgated before, there were things that came to mind at the end of last season that you meant to do, but now months have passed by and you don’t even remember what it was that you thought you should do. Fear not! Here are simple ideas to get your thinking process started. There’s still time to make this season a great one!

Juicy Wisconsin Bratwurst Sandwiches No Tongs Please!

You’ll have to search far and wide to find a better tasting bratwurst than our Tailgater’s Handbook special. It is so juicy that the first bite requires a napkin, close to the mouth, just to catch the delicious juices that gush out! Remember to never break the skin of a bratwurst with anything but your teeth.

Ingredients: 2 pkgs. of Johnsonville Original (uncooked) Bratwurst (10 brats), 2 cans (12 oz.) or bottles of cold Leinenkugel’s (or other) beer, 1 large onion, chopped coarsely, 10 sausage buns Other Items needed: 1 pair clean white cotton work gloves. Aluminum disposable baking pan Preparation on the night before: Carefully place the 10 brats into a deep frying pan or soup pot. Add the chopped onion and enough beer to cover the brats. (Drink the rest of the beer as you work.) Be gentle with the brats so that the skin (casing) is not ever broken (use no tongs or forks). Cook the brats and onion at a simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the brats, beer and onion from the heat and let them cool. Take the brats

Wisconsin Bratwurst Sandwiches

out of the liquid and place them in a re-sealable plastic bag. Pour the liquid into a re-sealable bag as well. Refrigerate the meat and liquid until cooking at your tailgate.

Preparation on game day: Place the aluminum pan on your heated grill and add the beer and onion liquid. Place your brats on the grill and gently turn them with gloves (no tongs please).

As the brats brown, serve them on a bun slathered in French’s Mustard or place them, on hold, in the aluminum pan until needed.

Civic celebrates 100th season

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com This year Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre is celebrating its 100th season of professionally designed, directed and choreographed Music theatre in central Indiana. To mark this historic year, Civic will be staging five Broadway classics throughout the 201415 Mainstage season.

“When selecting the shows for this season, we kept several things in mind,” said Civic’s artistic director, Bob Sorbera. “We wanted a lineup of shows that are stage worthy and have been critically acclaimed.”

With this objective in mind, a variety of dramas, comedies, musicals and family-friendly productions will be brought to the stage during the 2014-15 centennial season including “Swing!,” “Golda’s Balcony,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Moon Over Buffalo” and “Monty Python’s Spamalot.”

“There is something for everybody,” Sorbera

said. “‘Swing!’ is lots of fun and high energy, ‘Golda’s Balcony’ is an incredible one-woman show, and some people say ‘Spamalot’ is the funniest musical they’ve ever seen!”

In addition to staging Broadway-caliber productions throughout the last 100 years, Civic has given central Indiana actors an opportunity to refine and display their skills while also introducing theatre to children through its educational programs.

“Theatre isn’t like fine art where you just need a paint brush or canvas,” Sorbera said. “You also need lights, sets, curtains and a stage. For 100 years, Civic has been able to provide all of this to central Indiana performers.”

Civic’s Mainstage season will open with the high-energy musical “Swing!” on Sept. 5. The show will run until Sept. 20. Showtimes are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 20 at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

For more information and to purchase tickets, visit CivicTheatre.org or call 843-3800.

Tips to keep ‘financially fit’ Commentary by Joel Harris The great John Wooden once said, “It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.” John Wooden was argufinance ably the best basketball coach to ever grace the hardwoods. He emphasized to his players the importance of focusing on the small details to achieve success. By focusing on the little details, he guided the UCLA basketball team to a profound 10 NCAA national championships in the 1960s and 1970s.

Focusing on small details will give you a greater opportunity to achieve success in your own financial planning. Here is a list of nine simple truths that each of us can focus on every day in our quest to become more financially fit.

Live within your means. – One of the simplest ways to become more financially fit is through the use of a budget. Yet statistics show that less than 40 percent of American households utilize a working budget on a monthly basis. If you’re perplexed at the end of the month because your bank account is low, take the time to track your expenses for the next three months. If you’re married, set up regular “budget meetings” with your spouse to track your progress. Who knows … maybe your marriage will even strengthen because of it.

Murphy will visit often. Have a plan to get rid of him as soon as possible. – We’re all too aware of Murphy as someone who loves to cause chaos in our lives. Secondly, Murphy always seems to have the worst timing when he pays his unwelcome visits. Part of a complete financial plan is having the means to boot Murphy out the door without him inflicting pain that can last for years. Try your best to set aside at least three months’ worth of living expenses to pay Murphy off in cash vs. paying him on credit.

Inflation is the silent killer of money.

Plan in terms of “tomorrow’s” dollars vs. “today’s” dollars. – When people start thinking about how much money they will need in retirement, most will plan based on the value of a dollar today vs. the value of a dollar in 15 to 20 years. Inflation is the silent killer of money; especially for those who live on fixed incomes. To put inflation into perspective, a gallon of regular gas was around $1.16 in 1990. Fast forward to today

and gas averages around $3.50 per gallon. That is an average cost increase of 4.7 percent per year. It is imperative to factor inflation into your financial and retirement planning because food, energy, and health care costs will continue to rise in the future.

Avoid the temptation of using your retirement accounts as a piggy bank. – For most of us, our largest source of investable assets outside of our home is usually in our 401k and IRA retirement accounts. When Murphy comes knocking on the door, or feel the urge to buy that new boat or pay off a high interest loan, please don›t dip into your retirement accounts. Not only will you be subject to regular federal and state taxes on the distribution, but you will also be subject to an additional 10 percent penalty if you’re under the sage of 59 1/2. Secondly, if you take a “loan” out of your 401k, you will need to pay back every penny, plus interest, before you start investing your money in the choices inside your plan. Lastly, and probably the most important and overlooked aspect is the potential compounding effect that is lost when you remove money from a retirement plan.

You can’t get to a destination unless you have a roadmap to get there. – Financial planning is long journey that stems over decades of events that impact our lives. This journey can include your education, first job, the purchase of your first home, children, job promotions, job losses, death of a loved one, saving for your kids› college education, saving for your retirement, grandchildren, and the countless hobbies and memories along the way. Focusing on the small details can potentially mean greater wealth and protection for you and your loved ones along the way. Having a roadmap that guides you as go through this journey can help you stay on track along the way.

As John Wooden eloquently states, “It’s the little things that are vital. Little things make big things happen.” Enjoy your journey to a more financially fit life.

As adults, we know stress is part of life. And while childhood is often thought of as a carefree time, children of all ages – even toddlers wellness and preschoolers – can experience stress. Causes vary based on age and other factors, and it may actually be a combination of issues that leads to stress in children. Stressinducing situations at school or daycare, such as moving to a new school, adjusting to a new teacher and bullying, are most common. Teenagers may be stressed about peer relationships and/or academic performance.

In children symptoms of stress can include frequent headaches or stomachaches, changes in temperament, refusing to eat or lack of appetite, difficulty sleeping and unwillingness to try new things.

Because it’s often hard for kids to put their feelings into words, parents should watch for these signs, especially when life changes occur. If your child is stressed, and you can determine why, you’re in the best position to help him or her with solutions. When there’s stress within the family, such as divorce, serious illness or death, it’s important to maintain a dialogue with kids about what’s going on and how it’s affecting them and the family. It’s okay to be honest with your children and let them know if you’re sad.

When you model good stress management behaviors, your children will learn how best to cope themselves.

While it’s inevitable children will have times of stress in their lives, too much stress – or worries that

continue to multiply – can lead to more serious health concerns. Pediatricians are trained to recognize when children are not functioning as expected and can be great resources for strategizing ways to cope. Before visiting your child’s doctor, make a list of any life changes and the signs you’ve noticed. Talking with an expert who is objective – but also knows your child – can be reassuring. A pediatrician can also recommend other professionals or healthcare specialists. Referral to a specialist should not be viewed as the family’s failure to help their child cope, but rather a means to gain additional insight and strategies to successfully manage the issues.

Mary Ian McAteer, MD, specializes in pediatrics at Riley Physicians Pediatrics - Meridian Crossing, 11590 N. Meridian St., Suite 300, Carmel. She may be contacted at 688-5220.

dispatches Three ways to keep stress away: • Take the time to step away from your work. Take a short ten minute walk. The physical distance from your desk or walk helps the body and mind relax.

• Grab a healthy snack that will fill you up like a handful of almonds.

Get out from behind your desk for a few minutes and sit in the sun to soak up some Vitamin D. • Try a new yoga pose or stretch to help relax your muscles. This will help release the tension in your muscles that stress creates.

The key is to physically remove yourself from the stressor for a few minutes but not too long that it affects your productivity.

‘Fun’ and grammar

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, thanks for the ‘opportunity’ to read your comments on appropriate word usage. I’d like to grammar guy know how ‘fun’ came to be used as an adjective. I always thought ‘fun’ was a noun.” – (Wayne Carter) Answer: You know, I went into this thinking I wouldn’t be able to give you a real date, but I was pleasantly surprised by the results of my research.

To start off with, every dictionary you look at is going to say the primary definition of “fun” is a noun meaning amusement or enjoyment. Reading is fun. Going to the movies is fun. Heck, even grammar is fun! (I swear!)

Merriam-Webster says “fun” first appeared in English usage around 1727. Oxford has it appearing in the late 17th century and denoting a trick or hoax or “to make a fool.” Both have it acting consistently as a noun until, according to Merriam-Webster, someone decided in 1846 that it would make a great adjective too.

Nowadays – more than 160 years later, mind you – the adjective entry for “fun” still has an “informal” tag next to it in the dictionary. Oxford goes even further, tagging the verb form of “fun” as a “North American informal” usage, even though that meaning – to joke or tease – is arguably the original one. You can almost hear them putting it off as “Yankee slang” through the dictionary.

To get back on track: Yes, the primary and most-correct usage of “fun” is as a noun. Despite more than a century-and-a-half of use, its adjective form is still considered informal. Maybe at 200 it will be old enough for formal usage. Hopefully our friends across the pond will warm up to our “Yankee” usage of the word as well – after all, they finally came around to us.

The last place most people would expect to find evidence of religious tolerance is near the Syrian border with Iraq. But that travel is where I found it during a visit to Dura Europos in late 2010.

Macedonian Greeks built Dura Europos in 303 B.C. atop a steep cliff 300 feet above the west bank of the Euphrates River. Despite its natural protections, the city fell to Persians in 113 B.C. Romans then conquered the city in about 160 A.D., making it a base for their military and commercial operations along the Euphrates. The Roman army and immigrants brought religious beliefs and languages from around the Empire to Dura Europos, making it an early melting pot. In about 256 A.D. Persians again captured the city and deported its residents. Earthen embankments built in an unsuccessful attempt to protect the city collapsed, covering some of the buildings. Sand and mud eventually covered the rest and the city remained hidden for hundreds of years.

Archaeologists began uncovering Dura Europos in 1920 after the British army stumbled onto some ancient paintings. What the archaeologists found was comparable to Pompeii. The sand and mud had stopped time in the third century.

Well-preserved wall paintings, now in museums in Syria and the United States, enabled identification of the original purpose of many buildings. A house built in about 235 was used as a church, with a painting of Jesus and Peter walking on water the oldest surviving representation of Jesus. Its baptistery is the oldest one in the world.

A large synagogue with 28 colorful paintings of Biblical scenes was dated to about 240, making it the oldest known synagogue outside Israel.

Sixteen temples and a Mithraeum honored Greek, Roman, Persian and Canaanite gods.

During the third century, as Christians were being persecuted in Rome, worshippers in the house-church in Dura Europos lived peaceably amid temples to Adonis, Artemis and Ba’al. As anti-Semitism was poisoning relations between Christians and Jews elsewhere, an impressive synagogue was being built near the church. We can all learn about interfaith tolerance and cooperation from ancient ruins near the Euphrates River.

Master bath remodel: Eliminating large garden tub Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BATHROOM: The owners of this home in the Springmill Crossing subdivision in Carmel had lived with blueprint for their master bathroom improvement for 24 years. “We decided to remodel our dated master bathroom after we identified a mold issue behind the shower tiles. Knowing that the bathroom needed updated for resale, we decided to remodel the whole space so we can enjoy it until that day finally comes.”

ELIMINATING LARGE GARDEN TUB: Eliminating wasted space was a goal for the project.

“The master bath had a really bad layout. The only purpose the large garden tub served was to collect dust. We never used it and it took up too much space. Also the enclosed toilet and shower room made the bathroom feel cramped.” The homeowners opted to remove the garden tub and reconfigure the bathroom layout to make it more functional.

SPACE PLANNING: The shower was relocated from the enclosed room to the previous garden tub area. The wall separating the toilet room and main bath was removed to open up the space to the rest of the bathroom. A new half wall was framed by the toilet for privacy and a linen closet was installed for added storage.

COORDINATING FINISHES: “After years of scouring through endless inspirational photos,

before & after

we ended up with a Pottery Barn type vision for our dream bathroom. We had already purchased the vanity from Pottery Barn and sought the help from our designer to complete the final look. “New vanity light fixtures in a chrome finish were installed to coordinate with the salvaged mirrors, glass shelves and towel bars.”

RESULT: Removing the existing tub and decking left room for the expanded shower. Although the overall footprint was not expanded, the room felt much more spacious with the reconfiguration. “We love the openness of the bathroom the most. The natural light makes the space feel so much bigger and airy.”
