Dog Fest helps those with disabilities

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com

Love dogs? Love to walk dogs? Want to raise money for a good cause?

Then check out Canine Companions for Independence’s annual Dog Fest Walk ‘n’ fundraising Roll, to be held Oct. 4 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Celebration Plaza and the Historic Canal in downtown Indianapolis.

The purpose of Canine Companions, a national nonprofit organization, is to enhance the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships.

Canine Companions places four types of assistance dogs: Service dogs, placed with an adult who has a disability; skilled companions, for a child or adult with a physical or cognitive disability; hearing dogs, placed with an adult who is hearing impaired or deaf; and a facility dog, for a non-disabled handler that works with a disabled population. Some dogs are also placed with veterans.

“These wonderful canine partners are given free of charge to their recipients to enhance their independence,” said Nancee Wright, Fishers, a volunteer puppy raiser for the Central Indiana Region of Canine Companions.

Wright and her family began raising puppies about 12 years ago. Puppies from the age of eight weeks are placed with volunteers who care for them for approximately 16 months. The dogs are then sent to one of six training facilities in the U.S. (those from Indiana are sent to a facility in Ohio for professional training), and trained to be matched with someone who has a disability.

Dogs are trained to learn up to 50 commands and are taught to serve those with a range of disabilities.

For example, dogs are able to pick up keys on the ground and give them to their owners in wheelchairs and assist with carrying items, removing jackets and socks, and open and close doors. A dog for a person who is deaf and hearing impaired, meanwhile, is taught to alert his or her owner that a doorbell has rang or a buzzer on a stove has gone off.

“One useful story we love to tell is how Clover (a graduate of the training program) helps her partner with the laundry,” Wright said. “Clover can place items into the washer or dryer while her partner operates the machine - she also can unload the clothes from each and place into a laundry basket and then pull it to

DISPATCHES Correction – In the 9/16 cover story “Team Strong”, Current incorrectly reported that the Walk from Obesity benefits the Obesity Actions Coalition. It benefits the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Foundation.

International Triathlon – Fishers was well represented recently at the International Triathlon in Canada. Ellie and Jeremy Lindauer from Fishers both competed at the event.

Jeremy finished 17th in his age group, while Ellie finished 10th in hers. Ellie also competed in the aquathlon and placed first in her age group, making her the world champion for this event.

National anthem day – On Sept. 12, Hoosier Road Elementary school students celebrated national Star-spangled Music Day in honor of the 200th anniversary of the national anthem. Students created a living USA, which was photographed by an aerial photographer. The music teacher, P.E. teacher, and art teacher have Literacy Fridays and covered related arts units. On this unit they spent four weeks learning the national anthem and another patriotic song. One of the fourth grade classes presented the speaking parts for the program.

the living room for her partner to fold.”

The dogs are placed with their owners free of charge, so Canine Companions relies on fundraising efforts like Dog Fest to help with the cost of training.

Dog Fest is organized by the local Indianapolis Volunteer Chapter of Canine Companions. Registration is donation based and although there is no minimum fee to participate, “we ask participants to please consider making a donation,” said Ashley Koehler, development associate for Canine Companions. “Additionally, there are fun incentive prizes for those who fundraise for the event.”

Walkers may arrive with or without a dog. Dog owners are asked to place a leash on their dogs. To register to walk as a team for Dog Fest or for more information, visit www.cci.org/dogfestindianapolis.

Columnist Mike Redmond writes that the decline in cereal sales is just another way to mark the passage of time for Baby Boomers. For him, cereal was one of the main food groups (along with bologna, Velveeta and Wonder bread). And while he can understand the latter three falling out of favor, it’s kind of sad for him to see cereal declining. To read more, visit www.currentinfishers.com

Oktoberfest celebration Sept. 27

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com German food and dancing plus entertainment for kids, live music and a beer garden will be on hand at the ninth annual “Fishfestival ers Oktoberfest Saxony” from noon to 10 p.m., Sept. 27. Located at Saxony’s Witten Park in Fishers, this popular festival boasts free admission and activities for all ages.

Oktoberfest is hosted by the Fishers Freedom Festival, along with help from Saxony and Leinenkugel.

“We had approximately 5,000 in attendance at Oktoberfest last year,” said Jennifer Kehl, Fishers Freedom Festival executive director. “That was the best year ever.”

The event is a fundraiser for the Freedom Festival.

“We get a percentage of food sales, and we make money on the beer,” Kehl said. “Our profits go to the Fishers Freedom Festival. The money we raise goes into the Festival’s general fund to pay for the free activities at the Freedom Festival.”

An Oktoberfest celebration traditionally includes a beer garden and the Fishers Oktoberfest is no exception. The beer garden will be open from noon to 10 p.m. and adults can purchase beer or wine for $5.

Kehl pointed out additional highlights for this year’s event.

“The American German Club in Indy is going

to provide German dancers,” she said. “From noon to 3 p.m. businesses are going to provide kid games and we’ll have face painting, balloon artists and a photo booth with lots of fun props.

At 6:30 p.m. there will be a contest for the best German costume.”

Polka music begins at noon, Big Daddy Caddy plays at 3:30 p.m. and My Yellow Rickshaw performs from 7 to 10 p.m.. Arts and crafts vendors will also be set up.

“We’ve grown the crafters from about 15 to 40,” Kehl said. “We’ll keep it that size because the more we do, the more volunteers we need. The whole festival is a nice size right now.”

Attendees are encouraged to bring canned goods to the festival and the food collected will be donated to the Fall Creek Township food pantry. For more information, visit www.fishersfreedomfestival.org.

Nickel Plate Players grows

By John Cinnamon • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers’ recent growth isn’t limited to the new construction on Municipal Drive. The Fishers arts community is growing, as well, theater with the addition of the Nickel Plate Players. Founded by Fishers residents Sandy Thorne and her husband, Ashton Wolf, the Nickel Plate Players made their Fishers debut this summer with a production of the musical, Beehive, at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater.

“The response was phenomenal,” said Thorne, of the one-time performance which drew a standing ovation from the more than 1,000 people in attendance. It also drew rave reviews from Tony Elliot, Director of Parks and Recreation for Fishers, who said it was an “incredible show and an even bigger impact on the big picture of Amphitheater events. I’m excited for what’s next.”

The Players’ first production as a group wasn’t actually in Fishers, however. “Last year, we produced an original musical Ashton and I wrote called Ten Pin Alli,” said Thorne. “There was no place in Fishers to produce it so we ended up (at Carmel Community Players).” After the Carmel production, Thorne and Wolf approached the Fishers Arts Council looking for a local home for their theatrical productions. That led to a meeting with the Fishers Department of Parks and Recreation that offered the Amphitheater as a home – and the Nickel Plate District as a name – for the Nickel

Plate Players. “We felt that there was a hole in the area of theater arts in Fishers and we were intent on turning that around,” said Thorne.

What is next for the Nickel Plate Players? First of all, six more performances of Beehive in October; this time at the Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy at 10029 E. 126th St. Tickets are available online at www.NickelPlatePlayers.com. Looking ahead to next year, Thorne said the Players already have a commitment from sponsors to present three shows at the Amphitheater. She said although the Amphitheater is more conducive to musical theater, they would consider future productions of Shakespeare. “There are other cities that have ‘Shakespeare in the Park’ programs that do well,” said Thorne.

Kincaid House moves Oct. 4

“I wanted to be able to share a milkshake with my granddaughter again.”

By Beth Clark • news@currentinfishers.com

After my stroke, I had medical issues that made it impossible for me to go directly home. The people at the hospital told me about rehab and therapy available at Westminster Village North. My daughter visited the newly renovated health center and decided it was the place for me.

My private Medicare suite was spacious and comfortable; and the staff really cared about my needs.

My experience with rehabilitation therapy was superb.

The equipment was brand new and the therapists were well-trained and helpful. I was eager to go home, but will always appreciate Westminster Village North.

Now Sophie and I can enjoy that milkshake at my home again.

To learn more about the health center and rehabilitation services at Westminster Village North, contact Tracy Pope at 317.855.9141.

The Kincaid House, the historic brick building at the corner of 106th Street and Kincaid Drive in Fishers, is on its way to a preservation save. Threatened with demolition on June 9th, an order which was quickly stayed by development and construction company Thompson Thrift after protest by Indiana Landmarks and the Noblesville Preservation Alliance, the house has a new home on land donated by loan management company Navient along USA Parkway. The relocation site has been secured and funds are being collected to get the house rolling to its new home on Oct. 4.

The house is being prepared for relocation less than half a mile down the road from its current site by Wolfe House and Building Movers from North Manchester, Indiana. The foundation of the house has recently been dug out and steel beams have been inserted through the basement windows and walls of the house to lift it onto a flatbed moving truck.

New site work, including pouring a concrete foundation at the house’s future location on USA Parkway, begins next week and will take at least one week to complete. The day of the move, the Indiana Department of Transportation will close a section of 106th Street on the east side of I-69 the morning of Oct. 4. The move is estimated to take two to three hours.

The cost of moving the house is roughly

$115,000. An Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign was created at the end of August by Nickel Plate Arts and the Noblesville Preservation Alliance, with assistance from Hamilton County Tourism, to raise public funds to help move the Kincaid House. The goal is $30,000 by September 30.

Brenda Myers, Executive Director of Hamilton County Tourism, said “We will continue to fundraise to offset some of the costs of relocating this historic building, while we also are looking at ways to keep costs to a minimum and to seek out alternative funding sources in order to accomplish what we all set out to do, which was save the Kincaid House.”

Donations are tax deductible, will go toward moving and renovating the Kincaid House. Visit www.movethekincaidhouse.org, to make a donation or share ideas about how the Kincaid House can be used.

Council approves Bub’s Burgers

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Town Council, at its Sept. 15 session, approved tax incentives for a couple of businesses planning government a move or expansion in Fishers.

One of those is Bub’s Burgers, a restaurant with locations in Carmel, Zionsville and Bloomington. The council agreed to waive development impact fees amounting to $122,000. Bub’s is planning to build near the new intersection of Fishers Corner Blvd. and Maple Street The $1.25 million investment includes a new 5,000-square foot building and 125 employees.

“Our residents have expressed a desire for local, non-chain food options,” Town Manager Scott Fadness said. “Fishers is excited to be chosen as the next location for the entrepreneurial, Indianagrown restaurant. Their family-friendly business model fits perfectly with the values of our Fishers residents.” The targeted grand opening is mid-2015. Bub’s is known for its “big ugly burger.”

The council also gave the OK to the establishment of an economic revitalization area for AI Innovations, which is a wholesale sign manu-

facturer planning growth at its facility on Exit Five Parkway. AI Innovations currently employs 105 employees at its Fishers facility, and plans to more than double its workforce by adding 133 new full-time jobs in the next five years and invest more than $6 million in new equipment.

The new jobs will have an average hourly wage of $28.84 and includes designers, high-skilled production/manufacturing, sales and administrative staff “AI Innovations is very excited about our new home here in Fishers,” said Frank Green, president of AI Innovations. “The economic development agreement will assist AI in providing both additional employment and revenue dollars to the community – in addition to our own growth as a company.”

The economic development agreement includes a five-year personal property tax abatement. The estimated value of the abatement is $235,000 over five years.

The council also approved Fishers Fire and Emergency Services’ WeCare program, despite residents who spoke against the program. The in-home vaccination portion of the program was deleted from the ordinance.

A trip to Ethiopia in Fishers

!!

RRSS NNEE W OOW

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com It may be just a short drive down Fall Creek Road to a strip mall near Brooks School Road, but a visit to the restauCuisine rant St. Yared is like a trip to the other side of the world.

The owners, Haile and Etenesh Abebe, are from Ethiopia and opened St. Yared, in September of 2013, to fulfill a dream Etenesh has had to share Ethiopian cuisine with the Fishers community.

The journey to Fishers was not an easy one.

Haile first learned of America in the third grade from a Peace Corps worker in his city. “It just triggered in me a passion to travel. Here I see an American coming from this most affluent country coming to Africa, to Ethiopia, to give,” he says.

His dream came true when an American couple brought him to America after he finished eighth grade. Haile, a microbiologist, had all his education paid for by his foster parents. He says they may have also saved his life because war broke out in Ethiopia shortly after he left and many of his friends and a brother were killed.

He was not able to return to Ethiopia for 17 years. But when he did, he was literally thunderstruck by a young woman he saw on the street.

Haile says when he first saw Etenesh he said “that is my wife”. He went to the great lengths demanded by tradition in his culture to win her hand. The couple wed after just two weeks,

never even speaking to each other before the wedding.

Etenesh says it was not an arranged marriage and she had final say but was hesitant about going to America. “I thought that’s too far to go, but love makes you do crazy stuff,” she says.

Haile calls Etenesh a very strong person having suffered through the war, separation from her family and then coming to America where she knew no one. Twenty-two years later the couple, who have four children say they have never had a fight.

St. Yared is her dream. “I love to cook and it’s a service to the community,” said Etenesh, who adds that the restaurant is adding a little spice to the Fishers area. “For us it’s sharing our heritage with fellow Americans. We really have little Ethiopia here,” said Haile.

Interim HSE supt. sees optimism and challenges

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com The interim superintendent of Hamilton Southeastern Schools delivered the annual “State of the Schools” address to a education Fishers Chamber of Commerce luncheon Sept. 17.

Dr. William Carnes, a Fishers resident, was picked to replace Dr. Brian Smith until a permanent replacement is found. Smith left Sept. 1 to become the executive director of the Indiana School Boards Association.

Dr. Carnes laid out school district numbers and then talked about successes and challenges.

Carnes said HSE continues to grow but at a slower pace and reported that enrollment for the current school year is at 20,511 students. On academics, Carnes reported that 14 of 18 schools had 90 percent or more of students pass both the English/Language Arts and Math portions on ISTEP tests.

He called the College Career Academies at the high schools, with their relationships with IU, Purdue, Ball State, Ivy Tech and other colleges, a game changer. “I think that’s really going to change how we approach the nexus between the high school experience and college experience and education experiences beyond that,” Carnes said.

He pointed to HSE21, which has a goal of getting iPads in the hands of all students, as another example of a program that is forward-thinking.

As for challenges, Carnes said redistricting for grades K-8, while painful, is necessary and is a

process that must be undertaken.

Another challenge is hiring a new permanent superintendent Carnes said. “My most important job is to put myself out of a job,” he said.

Concerning progress on that front, he said that it’s the most important thing the school board has on its plate. “They’re making progress,” Carnes said. “That’s about as much as I can tell you about that. They’ve been working hard.

They’ve been making progress and it is moving along. They would never give a timeline because it might fall apart at the last minute and that’s a horrible experience.”

Carnes only briefly mentioned low funding and

financial issues that have affected the district in recent years, saying we need to continue to work with our legislators for a formula that supports districts like HSE. He called the district extraordinary and pointed to the spirit of working together. “I have never in all of my experiences seen the level of cooperation that I see here between the county, the state, the Chamber and the entire school family,” Carnes said. “That level of cooperation blows my socks off. We work together. We understand what is important. So we must do this simply because the economic well-being is tied to the success of the school district.”

Summit at Launch Fishers

By Ray Compton • news@currentinfishers.com

During one recent shining September day, the future of the business world in Indiana was potentially being hatched in the elaborate public library located in downtown enterprise Fishers.

Corporate leaders and consultants from Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Terre Haute, New Albany, Richmond and other Hoosier ports huddled on Sept. 11 at the first Indiana Co-Working Passport Summit, a brainchild of Indiana entrepreneurs John Wechsler and Tony Monteleone.

The purpose of the day-long event was to discuss how the expanding co-working industry could play a role in inspiring the Indiana business sector. Included in the field of speakers was Bill Soards, president of AT&T Indiana; Santiago Jaramillo, CEO of BlueBridge Digital; State Senator Jim Merritt; and Dave Castor, managing partner of Alerding Castor Hewitt. Fishers town manager Scott Fadness and council president John Weingardt also were part of the discussions.

More than 15 communities were represented at the summit which was held in the Launch Fishers site in the Fishers library. The space has expanded into computer space, bicycle rentals, conference rooms and other vital cogs for aspiring business operators.

“I would love to have a place like this,” said Shelley Klingerman, executive director of Launch Terre Haute who has opened a two-room shop in the downtown sector.

“We have a huge opportunity to tap the talent we have in our community,” Klingerman said.

“There are some good minds coming up in the new tech world. We hope this environment can spark economic development in our community.”

Wechsler is no stranger to new ideas for the business world. His latest chapter, Launch Fish-

ers, has received rousing support from many self-described entrepreneurs who willingly take advantage of the offerings, including office space, sharing capital assets and engaging thoughts with partners with similar needs.

“We want to pull people out of coffee shops, spare bedrooms and restaurant lobbies,” Wechsler said. “We hope to bring them to one spot to share their goals and thoughts.”

In his State of Co-Working discussion, Wechsler centered on five points: Public and private partners are enthusiastically looking to support organic development, potentially offering infrastructure elements.

A co-working environment supports innovation, “allowing things to happen.”

Co-working sites can play a key role in defining the quality of a community.

A center for co-working habitats can start small and grow. “You do not need a million dollars to get started,” he noted.

The growth of co-working situations can continue to blossom in Indiana. “There are 92 counties in Indiana,” Wechsler assessed. “There is no reason that we can’t have over 100 in the next five years.”

Fishers tech company sees surge in growth and interest

By Holly Demaree • news@currentinfishers.com BlueBridge Digital is a company on the move.

The Fishers tech startup quickly has gone from humble beginnings at cover story Launch Fishers to a company with its own offices and a successful million-dollar fundraising effort.

In fact, it was just announced that several local tech investors, including the founder of Aprimo and the former chief marketing offer of ExacTarget, were involved in the venture capital fundraising, which marked the first time BlueBridge has raised money by offering securities.

Santiago Jaramillo, CEO of Bluebridge Digital, and Adam Weber, partner and head of sales at Bluebridge Digital, met through Twitter and began working toward a common goal: to help organizations, brands and companies reach their consumers through mobile apps. Mobile apps are the programs that can be downloaded onto a smartphone and are used for a specific purpose such as directions or music.

“I was selling websites at the time and in the middle of selling websites, saw this trend how mobile app usage surpassed web usage at the same time that we met,” said Weber. “It was just one of those things that was a good fit. I think from a friendship perspective first and then a shared business perspective. It allowed us to start and just hit the ground running and make a lot of progress quickly.”

Jaramillo and Weber do not come from a technology background, so Mitch Shields, partner and developer at Bluebrdge Digital, was brought in to help with the technology side. In November 2012, the three began working at Launch Fishers.

A year later the team had grown to 13 people and they realized they needed more space.

“What’s great about Launch is it’s a great place for ideas, incubation and growth,” said Weber. “But we got to a stage where we needed our own culture to build the BlueBridge side of

things.”

After being at Launch for a year, Bluebridge Digital’s team had expanded, but the quick growth wasn’t always easy on the company.

“That, for sure, was a challenge early on making a lot of decisions with scarce resources,” – John Wechsler, said Jaramillo. “But in the early days to grow that fast and doing it all self-funded was absolutely a challenge but we worked through it and it made us stronger entrepreneurs and leaders because of it.”

Launch officially was opened in fall 2012, and it was looking to help local entrepreneurs get started by providing a space to start.

“BlueBridge Digital is a shining example of the power of organic economic development in a community. This is what we hope to see when we invest in the business environment to make it favorable for entrepreneurship and innovation,” said John Wechlser, an entrepreneur Santiago Jaramillo (left) and Adam Weber talk to Brock Glaze, a support specialist at Bluebridge Digital. (photo by John Cinnamon) who helped create Launch.

Bluebridge Digital has continued to grow and, during the past year, it has created more than one full-time position per month.

“We are really excited that it’s just the beginning of mobile growth,” said Jaramillo.

“The past 15 years have been about the Launch Fishers founder explosion of web and I think for the next 15 years will be a challenge or opportunity for businesses and organizations to figure out how to use mobile presence to engage with their customers and communities. We think it’s just the beginning and we are remarkably excited about growth. We’ve gone from 13 employees to 26 today.”

Bluebridge digital plans to keep expanding and hopes to reach 30 employees by the end of 2014 and 50 by the end of 2015.

Currently the three main groups that BlueBridge Digital works with are colleges, cities and churches. Locally, apps that have been created include for the Nickel Plate District and Hamilton County Tourism. These apps help residents and visitors explore Fishers and see what it has to offer ranging from restaurants to events.

“You can go to the Nickel Plate District app and you know that the town itself is updating the events and have the most accurate listing,” said

“BlueBridge Digital is a shining example of the power of organic economic development in a community.”

Jaramillo. ”With one touch you pull up the events, filter it by category that you like and add it to your calendar and directions. I think it causes people to go to them (the Nickel Plate District app) more often and to trust the town with helping them have a better quality of life while they are residents or better experience for those who are visiting and coming through the town.”

BlueBridge Digital works on apps for hundreds of clients all across the country and does not really get to see how it impacts each intended audience except in Fishers.

“The town has been great in making this kind of growth possible and helping us in that way,” said Jaramillo. “It’s been fun to be trusted by our neighbors, Fishers and Hamilton Co. We are super strong in tourism nationwide. But it’s fun to be in our community and have our own product and support us and for us to help citizens and visitors have a better experience.”

Bluebridge Digital • Founded: 2011 • Product: Creator of mobile apps • Niche: Convention and visitor bureaus, colleges and universities, churches • Number of employees: 26 • Predicted employees by end of 2015: 50 • Website: Bluebridgeapps.com • Clients: 90% national; 10% local

Navigating uncharted territory

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

As the NFL Turns: The Peterson episode The weekly drama series that is the National Football League has released a new episode. The plot goes like this (stay with us): All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings is said to have punished his child May 18 with a switch, causing lacerations and bruising. Then on Aug. 21, Peterson testifies in front of a grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas. On Sept. 4 the grand jury decides not to indict Peterson. Then on Sept. 11, Peterson misses practice for what his coach terms a “veteran day” off. Come Sept. 12, Peterson is indicted for reckless or negligent injury to a child in Montgomery County and less than half an hour later the team deactivates him for one game. On Sept. 13, he turns himself in to Montgomery County authorities and is released on $15,000 bond. On Sept. 15, Peterson releases a statement on child abuse charges. Later that day, he is reinstated to the team, because he was just “disciplining a child.” Later that evening, a previous allegation of child abuse by Peterson is reported. He was not charged in the incident.

On Sept. 16, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says Peterson is innocent until proven guilty, but his actions are “a public embarrassment” to Minnesota and suggests that the running back be suspended. Sponsors adjourn their support of the team, and rightly so. It looks like he is out indefinitely until the case is resolved, and with the photos we’ve seen it will be resolved in not a good way for Peterson. No one is more concerned about child abuse than we are. We also believe in due process. This is no rush to judgment, in our opinion, although that runs rampant no matter the topic. If Peterson is convicted for the purported abuse, he will pay many times over. Will this be an example for others contemplating such levels of punishment? No, sadly, it won’t. There’s a liberal element of pop culture that simply accepts it, which is just as sad.

Hong Kong, phooey Commentary by Terry Anker He introduced himself when we met, but I didn’t bother to commit his name to memory.

Sharing a ride to the airport, the chance we’d meet again after this 45 minutes was likely zero; yet he seemed in the mood to talk. I don’t know if it was the way I reacted to what he said or simply the fact that I seemed willing to listen, but this young stranger started telling me his story.

We were in his native city of Hong Kong and he loved it. He married a local girl and had two children, now 4 and 5 years-old. In a place where multiple kids are rare, he took pride that he could support and raise them. He wasn’t particularly well educated or even especially special. But he held a couple of jobs and seemed willing to do more if he could to help give his family an advantage. His wife, he beamed, was the same. They owned a small apartment and sent their children to a private school.

But now they had become so concerned of

the increasing “destruction” of his city by their new Chinese overlords that they are hoping to send these children to live with relatives in Canada. The conflict of a loving father caring so deeply and fearing so much that he is wrestling with such matters weighed upon him. We talked.

Really, I just listened.

When our time together ended, he regained himself, apologized for oversharing (in a characteristic Asia way) and shook my hand expressing sincere gratitude for my attention. Did I say anything to help him with his challenges? I doubt it. But, did his venting give him clarity? I hope so.

His sadness, frustration, and compassion were breathtaking in their raw sincerity. Our freedom matters. And, he reminded me of it.

Of whom am I thinking? They’re fond of acronyms like NSDA, IHSFA, and NFL, and use words like “interp,” “extemp,” and “sweepstakes.” They spend their Saturhumor days participating in events like LD and OO and measure their success in points and diamonds. And they are VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT WHAT THEY DO! Any guesses? Anyone? They are speech and debaters, my friends, and now yours truly is one too!

I know, I know. What’s a ginger, motherof-four math guru doing dabbling in such unchartered territory? To be truthful, I didn’t actually mean to get so involved. I thought I was applying for an “assistant” position only to discover after I’d accepted that the head coach had already backed out. The ole bait and switch, really. (Or, de bate and speech. Get it?

I’m funny!) Not a big deal, I suppose, except that I have absolutely no experience whatsoever. And that’s not an exaggeration. We didn’t have a speech or debate team at my high school, and I never took part in college. I’m not even an English teacher, for God’s sake. Seriously, I feel like a cheerleader who’s just been named the new offensive coordinator for the Colts when all I wanted to do was shake poms at halftime!

What’s worse, I have no predecessor, nor a team to inherit. So not only am I totally clueless on the rules, regulations, and various distinctions of the 18 available events, I’m also having to recruit members, round up judges, register with the national and state associations, plan meaningful practices, and obtain a license to drive the stupid mini-bus!

Consequently, I spent the past weekend hob-nobbing with Indiana’s brightest and finest at the annual S&D coaches conference, attempting to absorb enough know-how to ensure my 10 [brave] students don’t puke, pass out or completely embarrass themselves at the first competition. Not sure whether it was a success. I did learn a lot of useful information, not the least of which was that if swim meets and dances competitions had a love child, she’d be named Speech and Debate Tournaments. But the rest was simply overwhelming.

The good news is that I do know how to speak and argue (mostly without a Kentucky accent), and from time to time, I can pen some decent material. So maybe I’ll be OK. The NSDA might even award me a diamond for my work with interpers! Peace out.

Phyllis’ real-life toy story Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Phyllis Baskerville of Fortville needs a home.

She is not homeless, but she fears that her prized collection of antique toys humor will be someday.

I first met Phyllis in 2002 while doing a live TV segment with Fortville resident Paul Dyer, quite a collector himself with more than a dozen old-time calliopes and player pianos, all in “dire” need of Paul’s expertise. When the show concluded, I headed for my car as a spunky 75-year-old woman in her pick-up truck accosted me.

Minutes later I pulled up in front of a Pentecostal church, which made me wonder if this was just a thinly veiled attempt to convert me.

What I saw when I entered the sanctuary was heavenly. There in front of me, mostly on the floor, taking up every available space, were thousands of classic toys, all in mint condition, many in the original boxes. Memories flooded back as I saw board games, wind-up toys, lunchboxes, and dolls that I had not seen in 50 years. “This is a TV show,” I told Phyllis, assuming that was her intent in seeking me. “Not now,” she countered.

“Not until I get everything on shelves. “We soon struck a deal. I did that show when all was still in disarray, then returned a year later to show the progress she had made. The next year she opened the Dolly Mama’s toy museum in Fortville.

There is more to this story, of course. And that story begins in Florida in 1998 where Phyllis and her

husband, a former district fire chief in Indianapolis, had retired. When he developed Alzheimer’s, Phyllis was overwhelmed, as many caregivers are. “I went to a support group meeting,” said Phyllis, “but that wasn’t for me…I don’t need someone else’s problems. I’m living it. I need something else.”

That something else began with a few dolls she had in her home, which soon mushroomed into so many toys that they filled several rooms.

When her husband’s condition worsened, they moved to Indy—toys and all—to be close to her daughters, but by then the collection had gotten a little overwhelming. That’s when she decided to open a museum.

So Phyllis purchased the then-vacant Fortville church and continued her search.

Now, as Phyllis nears her 90th birthday, she desperately seeks assurance that her collection will remain intact, hopefully as a museum, which is now officially closed.

If you tune into WISH-TV between 6 and 9 a.m. on Oct. 4, you can see the museum on my television segment. And Phyllis is right. You will never see anything like this again.

Computers, Christmas, chaos in Belfry opener

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For its 50th season, The Belfry Theatre in Noblesville will revive six of its rarer shows from its history including the opening theater production “The Desk Set.” “It’s a little exciting and a little intimidating. Fifty years is a big deal. We’re been doing them for a long time. You want to do it right and do right by everyone so they are glad we are still here and glad they came,” director Christy Clinton said.

“The Desk Set” was previously performed in 1983 and Clinton directed by Betty Lou Kyle.

“There’s not many people around that saw the first show. ‘The Desk Set’ was popular in its time,” Clinton said. “I kind of like that it’s old fashioned. It’s a three-act play instead of modern day two acts … There’s a lot of creativity going into this. Nobody’s holding anything back.”

The play is set in the ’50s.

“It brings that era home in ways that are fun and broad,” Clinton said. “The second act is a Christmas party full of alcohol and food. They’re off in other offices dancing and partying. I can’t remember the last time I heard of such a party in

an office … It’s fun to see those old ways.”

Clinton said the crux of the story is about the first computer coming in and changing the workplace.

“The office life was very different from today, not only because of computers but also social norms. It is interesting to see all the things that would absolutely not happen today,” said actress Sarah Baron. “One of my favorite things about playing a ’50s era piece is the attire, the silhouettes and accessories are so much fun.”

Baron, who plays Bunny Watson, said the show contains many different characters that are very relatable and have aspects that remind her of her own past and present co-workers.

“The other thing about this show that makes it a lot of fun to see is the difference between then and now where computers are involved.

Today computers are so much a part of everyday life you forget they were not always warmly welcomed,” she said.

Actor John Parks Whitaker said the prophetic nature of the subject matter is fascinating.

“The play wasn’t written recently about the past. It was written contemporaneously about computers taking over offices and the panic it caused,” he said. “William Marchant managed to find the lighter side and put together a great comedy about the process.”

Whitaker plays the male lead, Richard Sumner.

“My character is fun to play because he starts off on such a high horse and has a long way to fall when things start not going his way,” he said.

Clinton’s cast includes a number of seasoned actors and a few making their debut like Joe Mize as a reporter and Richard Sceniak as a photographer.

“Richard said he might want to try sometime.

When he heard there was a part with no lines he said, ‘That’s right up my alley. I want to try that,’” Clinton said.

Other members of “The Desk Set” cast include: Debbie Underwood (Sadel Meyer), Dana Lesh (Peg Costello), Katie Gipson (Ruthie Saylor), Jeff Bick (Abe Cutler), Curtis Bittle (Mr. Bennett), Barb Weaver (The Lady in the Blue Suit), Michael Tooker (Kenny), Valerie Pearce (Elsa), Justin Hoggard (Elsa’s friend), Fran Knapp (Miss Warriner), Deb Coon and M.J. Bick (office workers) and hosts, Emily Stone, Susan Townsend and Michel Jenkins.

STUNNING NEW SPACE, Since we’ve already covered how to make a great bratwurst, here’s a great Pulled Chicken Sandwich recipe.

Ingredients: 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds), Salt and pepper, 1 red onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, 1 1/3 cups barbecue sauce, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, Hot pepper sauce, 6 Kaiser or French rolls, split, 6 ounces shredded Munster and/or Monterey Jack cheese (about 1-1/2 cups) Preparation: Salt and pepper the chicken and place in a heavy pot with the onion, garlic and cover with water. Add the barbecue sauce, vinegar and a few drops of Frank’s hot sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred with two forks. Boil the sauce, skimming occasionally, until reduced by half, about 15 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Add the shredded chicken and heat through. Spoon the mixture onto the rolls and top with the cheese.

You can always ask the age-old philosophical question, “What is the meaning of life?” And you’d probably get an earful from a philosopher, but these people don’t generally attend things like football games, and they surely aren’t found at our tailgate parties. Tailgate captains, however, ask the honest question, “What do you want to eat?” This is a simple information-seeking query that we have been asking for more than 19 years.

More than the past two decades we have asked this simple question at football game parking lots and on our web site (tailgatershandbook. com). The answers we have gotten made us change our survey to fit the seasons and times of day. Now we ask, “In warm weather, what is your favorite main course food?” We now also ask about side dishes, deserts, snacks/munchies and even beverages in warm weather.

The following boxes reveal America’s choices and then we’ll have recipes we’ve found in parking lots from the East to the West.

What is your favorite warm weather main course food?

Scenic course offers twilight run

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

YOU’RE INVITED!

Hamilton County Parks and Recreation, in partnership with Riverview Health, is staging its annual Twilight Trail Run & diversion Walk on Sept. 27 at Strawtown Koteewi Park. Onsite registration begins at 3 p.m. with the run/walk starting at 5:30 p.m.

Don Nicholls, HCPR resource development specialist, said the event is a competitive 5-mile run and 2.25 fun/youth walk.

“Known for its historic and archaeological significance, the 800-acre park is a hidden gem of Hamilton County and turns majestic at dusk,” he said.

Cost is $20 for those that pre-register and $25 the day of event. Pre-registrants will receive a long sleeve Sport-Tek T-shirt and all participants will receive a limited edition wooden medallion.

“What makes this event special is not only the one-of-a-kind scenic course, which has been modified this year, but the time of day during which the run and walk is held,” Nicholls said.

“At sunset, the 300 acres of prairie appear to be ablaze.”

Board certified podiatric surgeon Scott Schulman, DPM, of Indiana Podiatry Group, will discuss common running injuries and causes before the start of the race. Nicholls said food and refreshments will be available for purchase and free entertainment and activities will be provided throughout the event. The evening will culminate with awards being presented to the top finishers following completion of the run/walk.

Religious comedy opens season

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Danny Russel agreed to direct at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 Ind. 32 West, if he could pick the show. With “God’s Favorite,” theater which runs Sept. 26 through Oct. 12, Russel has a show that is a scintillating dark comedy from Neil Simon that failed on Broadway and is rarely performed, which is appealing for him.

“Audiences are already sick to death of old hats like ‘The Odd Couple,’ but with this piece, Simon delivers some of his most profound and delicious humor undercut by a pervasive sense of despair,” he said.

“God’s Favorite” is about successful Long Island businessman Joe Benjamin, a modern-day “Job” with a demanding wife, ungrateful children and wisecracking household employees. Just when it seems things couldn’t get any worse, he is visited by Sidney Lipton, a messenger from God (and compulsive film buff) with a mission: test Joe’s faith and report back to “the Boss.”

“While examining their own faith, my hope is that audiences will find redemption and joy from the humanity on display in this modernday retelling of Job and conclude that ‘all Scripture is inspired by God’ (2 Timothy 3:16),” Russel said.

Russel said his actors were recruited especially for the project as they exuded necessary charisma and matched a specific age and physi-

cal type dictated by the author.

“There’s certainly a vibrant sense of community in working with familiar talent; with honesty and efficiency, we needed to create that strong family dynamic in a curtailed rehearsal period,” he said.

Actor Tom Doman of Carmel recommends attending the show because of its comedy and cast.

“I think the cast is very talented,” he said. “It’s going to be a good show and the audience will not be here for three hours.”

Tickets are $12 and $10 for seniors. For reservations, call 896-2707. For more information, visit www.westfieldplayhouse.org.

In today’s fast-paced world, it can be challenging to find the time to do everything you need to accomplish in a single day.

Wellness Between working, commuting, making time for family and friends, exercising, eating healthy, and still squeezing in time for fun and relaxation, it’s easy to start cutting out sleep as a time management technique.

While depriving yourself of sleep may give you the time to catch up on your favorite TV shows, it can also have negative effects on your overall health.

• Premature aging. Sleep deprivation affects the body in a way that is similar to aging. Insufficient sleep causes the body to release the stress hormone cortisol, which can prematurely age your skin over a prolonged period of time. Sleep loss also reduces the amount of human growth hormone (HGH) that your body produces, which helps to maintain your skin and muscle mass. Less HGH means that your body is less able to repair its tissues and keep your skin looking youthful.

• Chronic illness. Chronic lack of sleep can

increase your risk for a variety of health conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes. In particular, lack of sleep dramatically increases your risk for cardiovascular disease. Not getting enough sleep can also weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to seasonal illnesses like colds and the flu.

• Weight gain. On top of everything else, chronic sleep deprivation can also cause weight gain.

Sleep-deprived people tend to crave high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods, and their bodies have a harder time regulating appetite.

If you have been wearing your lack of sleep like a badge of honor and claiming that you “can sleep when you’re dead,” it may be time to find a new motto. Getting sufficient sleep is a critical component of a healthy lifestyle.

Owners must sell

Commentary by CJ McClanahan

Over the past few years, I have accidentally developed the reputation as an expert in helping aspiring entrepremove the needle neurs determine if they should start their own business. In this role of “unpaid expert,” I occasionally help individuals think through their career options.

During these conversations, I ask a handful of questions that usually lead to a recommendation. One of these questions, “How do you feel about sales?” tells me a lot about a person. If an individual is extremely negative towards the idea of selling and views it as a “necessary evil”, I encourage them to consider something other than starting their own business.

Nothing happens in your business until someone sells something. You don’t have an order to process, an invoice to send or a service issue to address until a prospect is convinced they should buy your product or service.

Unfortunately, over the years, I have worked with many business owners who have convinced themselves that sales is always someone else’s job. These owners don’t believe that they were made for sales and as a result, they sink a ton of money into marketing and individuals hoping that someone will bring customers through the door.

This approach rarely works. Small business owners should always consider themselves the head salesperson. Their number one job (especially in the beginning) is to articulate the value proposition to the marketplace. This includes convincing a prospect to buy, helping a marketing/advertising firm understand how to position the company and training the staff.

When an owner abdicates this responsibility to others (staff or outside consultants) before they have mastered it themselves, they never develop a true understanding of what the marketplace wants. This undermines their ability to guide the company, coach their employees or hold anyone accountable.

The good news is that as long as you are prepared to commit the time and effort necessary, anyone can sell. It’s not rocket science. This goes against myth that you need to be an outgoing “social butterfly” to be a successful salesperson.

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

Choose wisely.

Fishers home prices rise

Commentary by Jim Litten

• P ended home sales experienced a decrease in Fishers. Last month 149 homes pended, a decrease of 40 homes from August 2013.

• Of the pended home sales in Fishers last month, one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; six were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 25 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 46 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 67 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and four were priced at $99,999 or less.

This year’s sales are healthy although they appear sluggish compared to last year, which was the fourth best year in Indianapolis real estate history. Even as sales typically slow during autumn and winter months, we believe the Central Indiana housing market will remain strong on balance.

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey (Photo by Don Knebel)

Blue Mosque: Domes and eggs Commentary by Don Knebel

THIS WEEKEND!

SEPTEMBER 27 & 28 SATURDAY 10am–6pm SUNDAY 10am–5pm MAIN STREET IN THE CARMEL ARTS & DESIGN DISTRICT

FREE ADMISSION • ENTERTAINMENT ON 2 STAGES 136 JURIED ARTISTS

The Blue Mosque is one of Istanbul’s most popular tourist destinations, often seen as an example of classic Islamic architectravel ture. Like other domed mosques, its design actually mimics a famous church. But its pest control system is undeniably novel.

Ahmed I became Sultan of the Ottoman Empire in 1603, at age 13. After a series of military setbacks, Ahmed sought God’s favor by building a mosque in Istanbul to rival the one built in 1558

by Suleiman the Magnificent, his much more successful predecessor. Like Suleiman, Ahmed modeled his mosque on Hagia Sophia, built as a church by Byzantine Emperor Justinian in 537 A.D. and later converted to a mosque by adding a mihrab in the direction of Mecca and minarets.

Ahmed’s architects lacked the skill (or courage) of those of Justinian, who imaginatively supported the massive dome of Hagia Sophia on its exterior walls. The smaller dome of Ahmed’s mosque is supported on four interior columns derided as “elephant legs.” Light from more than 200 stained glass windows is supplemented by ornate chandeliers holding uncooked ostrich eggs intended to repel spiders and prevent unsightly webs.

Ahmed surrounded his mosque with six needle-shaped minarets carrying a total of sixteen balconies honoring him as the 16th sultan. When Islamic authorities in Mecca learned of the minarets, two more than around both Hagia Sophia and Suleiman’s mosque, they were outraged.

The Great Mosque in Mecca had six minarets and, as the holiest place in Islam, was not to be outranked in the minaret department. Ahmed reportedly solved the problem by financing the construction of a seventh minaret in Mecca.

Ahmed died at age 27, a year after completion of his mosque, and was interred in a mausoleum just outside the walls. Although his mosque is officially known as the “Sultan Ahmed Mosque,” it is popularly known as the “Blue Mosque” because of 20,000 handmade blue and white tiles in 50 different designs adorning its interior. Still used by Muslim worshippers, the Blue Mosque is open to the public except during daily prayers.

Visitors can see for themselves if the ostrich eggs really work.

You may be the reason your kids are miserable

Commentary by Mike Colaw

away, like a sand castle on the beach, all the “security” you have invested in will erode too.

I am not saying that we shouldn’t help our kids live a good life! I am just saying if we teach them that our very temporal “success process” will satisfy the deepest parts of their heart, they will be left wanting.

From the ancient Pharaohs who were buried with their wealth to modern cryogenics, history is filled with humanity desperately trying to make the temporal last just a little longer.

Jesus did not come to make you materially wealthy, prosperous, or have great teeth. He came to put in your hands a security that you can carry beyond the grave. A plan, a purpose that, well…really works. A hope that is greater than money, influence, or health.

When the water of time and entropic decay wash away the sand castles you have spent your life building, what will remain?

“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Rom 6:23

I get it, I want my kids to be successful too.

Every one of us kind of figure out our version of success and then deterspirituality mine what should “work” to get us there.

You may think successful people are wealthy… so you teach your kids there are things they must do in order to be “successful,” like go to college or develop a good work ethic.

You may think successful people are intelligent ... so you encourage your kids to do activities that increase intelligence, like working hard in school or reading lots of literature.

You may think successful people are healthy... so you have your kids do things that promote personal health, like exercise or making wise food choices.

You may think successful people are attractive. As subjective as this is we still want our kids to do things that make them more attractive. We get them braces, buy them nice clothes, some parents even pay for plastic surgery.

What is even more interesting is we obsess to attain things that will eventually be taken from us.

Your health, wealth, and prosperity will be taken from you one day. If all of your security is in something that is absolutely going to erode

Home surrounds and budget influence the fire feature that best suits your outdoor living space. (Submitted photo)

Adding a spark to fire features Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Outdoor fire features are like well-planned granite kitchen counters, they are a destination for guests to gather around. outdoors And, it doesn’t matter if a fire is roaring or cooking taking place. They are fun magnets for gathering and entertaining.

Fortunately there are accommodating styles with moderating price points and we appreciate them all. Let your jazzed passion, home surrounds and budget influence the feature that best suits your outdoor living space. From the simple $100 fire bowls to formal outdoor fireplaces that generally start at $15,000 and quickly escalate with any customization.

Boulder and natural stone fire features are some of our favorites. They feel genuine, echoing nature and the highly textured surrounds of outside. The pictured fire feature resides in Carmel and was constructed with Chocolate natural stone with cut edges and consistent thickness.

To ensure your fire feature is safe, take the following steps: • Never leave the fire unattended.

• Establish a child safety zone around the edge.

• Check for low hanging branches nearby and prune.

• Build fire features at least 10 feet from your home.

• Keep a fire extinguisher or hose convenient.

• Completely extinguish before leaving.

Let this fall season be one where we intentionally gather to appreciate the outdoors, family, neighbors and autumn’s brilliant display of colors. Schedule a cookout. Light a fire. Enjoy the outdoors like never before.

Remodel-industry secrets add value to your investment Commentary by David Decker While remodels come with considerable costs, the long-term gains can be significant both in quality of life and financial gain.

This is about creating and adding financial value to indoors your home.

You want to make strategic renovations that will keep your home competitive when compared to other options in the same market, especially if you are planning to sell it in the near future. Notice the aforementioned word “strategic.” Financially, it’s best to invest in home renovations that will help your home fall within an acceptable price range for the market. Too few updates, and your home won’t have the wow factor many buyers are looking for. Too many updates, and your home will not fit the price of comparable properties in the area, and it may become difficult to sell. It’s all about balancing the factors, so that the end product is a beautiful home that fits the price demands of prospective buyers.

Planning a strategic remodel requires research and product knowledge. We all know that the end goal is to create value, which is determined in dollars. But there is another concept that I like to focus on, “perceived value.” Consider: • Oftentimes it is possible to find lower-cost products that look as impressive and perform as well as their more costly counterparts. Buyers are unable to tell the difference.

• First impressions matter.

• Get to know your segment of potential buyers. A Baby Boomer is going to look for different things in a home than a Gen Xer. • Research the type of buyers moving in your area and try to make choices that will fit that group’s needs.

• Never use inferior products or sacrifice quality by cutting

• Researching prices, materials and new solutions before you install is absolutely worth the added planning. This is where the help of a professional remodeling team can be invaluable.

The investment of collaborating with professional designers is worth it in the end.

• You can afford to use more expensive products in smaller quantities where it may be a better value for your home. For example, when remodeling a bathroom you could choose an inexpensive tile for the shower surround but add some glass mosaics or accent strips to maximize value. Glass is expensive, but when it is used in small amounts won’t break the bank and will provide an exceptional return on your money.

• In the kitchen, hardware, the jewelry of your home, can make a major difference in the look and feel of the room and is much less expensive than replacing cabinetry.

• When using hardwood on the main floor, expand the hardwood as far as your budget will allow.

The Affordable Companies is rehabbing a Carmel “investment” home, a project we’ve titled “The Kingswood Transformation.”

We’ve worked hard to put all of the advice I’ve just given into practical use. Beginning Sept. 28, the home will be open to the public, so home and real estate investors will be able to view the remodeling project in its entirety. Visit the website: http://the-affordablecompanies.com/kingswoodtransformation or plan to attend our upcoming open house to spark ideas on ways that you, too, can create value in your current home or investment property.

When using hardwood, expand it as far as your budget will allow is one way to increase the perceived value of your remodel. (Submitted photo)
