HSE hosts anti-bullying program news@currentinfishers.com

Indiana legislation now requires all public schools to educate their students with ageappropriate methods about education bullying. In conjunction with this legislation, Hamilton Southeastern High School hosted a convocation featuring the 2013 ASA tour on Oct. 2 in the football stadium. The tour is an interactive action sports circuit that visits cities across the United States supporting the Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids and the PACER’S National Bullying Prevention Center.

ASA brought in five of the world’s top professional skateboarders and BMX riders from the X Games to perform on a state-of-the-art half-pipe, while an emcee delivered an educational message in a fun, positive and interactive fashion.

“The idea raises awareness of what bullying is and helped kids understand it better,” said HSE High School Assistant Principal Charles Hoover.

Bullying is a significant problem in schools today, as evidenced by current statistics: • Fifty-six percent of students have personally witnessed some type of bullying at school.

• One out of 10 students who drop out of school do so because of repeated bullying.

• American schools harbor 2.1 million bullies and 2.7 million victims.

• 282,000 students are physically attacked in secondary schools each month.

• Each day 160,00 students miss school for

fear of being bullied.

• Nearly 4,500 students commit suicide each year because of bullying.

• Through the course of one year, 25 percent of students across all grades report that they have been harassed or bullied on school property because of their race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.

“When I was a kid, bullying was face to face,” Hoover said. “Now I can bully you and not even see you.”

HSE High School plans to add more resources to raise awareness of bullying, including monthly announcements produced by students and topics chosen by teachers for their classrooms, according to Hoover.

Nekoda Witsken, a graduate of HSE High School, was recently chosen out of 17 high quality artists to paint Fishers’ first public art mural project, to be displayed at 116th and Jaycee streets. The mural is scheduled to be unveiled early November. (Submitted photo)

HSE grad to paint downtown mural news@currentinfishers.com The Fishers Art Selections Committee has selected an artist for the first public art mural project in Fishers. Hamilton SouthArt eastern High School alum and Fishers native, Nekoda Witsken, was chosen to paint a mural in the pocket park at 116th and Jaycee Street.

“We were very excited to have 17 high-quality art proposals to choose from,” said David George, Fishers Town Council Member. “The variety in proposals shows how much talent there is in Fishers.”

The mural will focus on the history of Fishers and its commitment to family values and innovation. This is the first of future projects the Town of Fishers hopes to develop in the community.

The mural will be unveiled in early November.

Materials were donated courtesy of Sherwin Williams.

“I am deeply honored about the prospect of having a mural in my hometown,” said Witsken.

“From painting Fishers’ snow plows with kids, to

donating various paintings to charities, to working with children after school - these are the type of projects that give back to you as much as you put into the works of art.”

Witsken said her artistic talents were inspired by visual arts teacher at HSE High School, Angela Fritz. According to Fritz, Witsken consistently went above and beyond as a painter in school in her advanced placement classes for drawing and painting.

“Nekoda is just a painter at heart,” Fritz said.

“She was always most excited and focused when she had color and paper in her hand. Everything she touched turned into a painting.”

Beginning last week, Whitsken began work on her mural, which will display horses and an owl in the center.

“She almost couldn’t get it done fast enough,” Fritz said.

Witsken is currently studying pre-med, history and art at Purdue University. She said she may one day open a family/pediatric practice in Fishers.

CRE celebrates top-10 teacher award

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com Students and staff at Cumberland Road Elementary recently celebrated with teacher Meg Strnat for being named one of education Hamilton Southeastern School District’s Top 10 Teachers of the Year. Students created a “top 10” list for why she should be named Teacher of the Year. At a recent convocation held in Strnat’s honor, 10 of her fourth-grade students wrote a list detailing what they appreciated about their teacher’s efforts in maintaining a classroom full of fun and learning: 10: Lily Miller, 9, “I like making jewelry and a purse out of clay.”

9: Vera Schafer, 9, “I like looking at the different shapes and sizes of train wheels.”

8: Levi Shafer, 9, “I like “Squiddy Day.” You dissect a squid.

7: Amy Nguyen, 9, “She gives us Pringles and a package with materials like cotton balls and popsicle sticks, and we press it all together in one and seal the tape and mail it off. If the Pringle holds its shape, we get points for that.”

6: Dylan Noble, 9, “I love engineer activities with Twinkies.”

5: Derek May, 10, “I’m looking forward to weekend science and engineering trips.”

4: Leslie Preston, 10, “I can’t wait for videos, CDs and computer-generated activities to learn and help us record and look forward to watching

3: Riley Stuber, 9, “We do a lot of team projects like engineering and math; we’ve done a lot of fun problems.”

2: Sam Diego, 9, “I like engineering design, creating and discovering, and doing things in a fun way.”

1: Nolan Satterfield, 9, “I like the Roadrunners mascot that our teacher pretends to be.”

“I try to make the activities engaging and active and something they can do in real life,” said Strnat of her creative abilities to get her students excited about otherwise boring projects.

“It’s a lot of fun and the students take responsibility for a lot of their work. The work is directed by what the students want and I make sure I meet all standards.”

Green-thumb son

Commentary by Heather Kestian

My son has a green thumb. I have no idea how he inherited this gene. I like to pretend that I have plain talk a green thumb, but I really have very few skills. I can grow hosta plants in the yard because they are hardy, resilient and require no work on my behalf.

As some of you know, he planted a pine cone and what should emerge from the earth but a pine tree.

Fast forward a few months and he asks to plant more seeds. As part of his kindergarten class, they are studying apples. Very appropriate for this time of year. One of his observations as he was eating an apple in our kitchen was that there were lots of seeds in the apple. He inquires: “Can we plant these seeds? We could have nine apple trees in our yard!”

My first thought? Sure! We need apple trees because we do not have nearly enough bees in the yard. My second thought? Sure! This is not going to work anyway but do not be the negative parent. Be supportive!

I search online and explore how to turn apple seeds into apple trees. This is a multi-year project, if it works at all. Solid!

We may not have apple trees after all!

Fishers Town Council recap

news@currentinfishers.com

In my supportive parenting role, we read about each step.

Step one is to dry out the seeds.

Done. Step two is to place the seeds in a wet paper towel, cover, place in a plastic bag and store in the fridge for a month.

If this works, the seeds will sprout. We checked the seeds after a few weeks and don’t you know, every last single one of the seeds sprouted. This has to be a joke.

I am learning that “if” needs to come out of my vocabulary with my child. “If” needs to be replaced with “when.” This is not about only plants – it is everything in his life. Someday I will fully comprehend that our little people are hopeful and amazed by the world around them. Given the state of the world today, with government shutdowns and threats of war, we could all use a little more faith.

Once again, my child proves his faith that all things are possible. I am taking this page from his playbook. Anything is possible. I believe, little man, I believe.

• The transition from the Town of Fishers to the City of Fishers will have six equally sized districts, as explained by Town Council Manager Scott Fadness.

A total of nine council members, with three at-large will be voted on. Meanwhile, only six will be voted on by those within their districts. On Oct. 21, at the next Town Council meeting, there will be a public hearing, and the final vote on the districts is expected to be decided on Nov. 4.

• The proposed town budget plans to spend $81 million next year.

• South of Chicago, a new restaurant in Saxony, asked permission to display a larger sign for the business.

Groundbreaking on The Depot at Nickel Plate began Oct. 10 at 8594 E. 116th St. A team effort between the Town of Fishers and Flaherty & Collins Properties has created a “dream downtown,” according to Town Manager Scott Fadness. The $42 million residential/retail project will house 16,000 feet of retail space, 200 apartments and 380 parking spaces. Fadness credited Director of Community Development, Tom Dickey for the project growth.

The area plans to add five to seven new restaurants and shops, in addition to a pool and a fitness center for the apartments.

Walt Kelly

Fishers’ first mayoral race

What will these candidates bring to the table?

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com Speculation has been growing since the beginning of this year. Three candidates have recently stepped forward to announce their intention to run for mayor for next cover story year’s election.

Town Manager Scott Fadness, former Town Council President Walt Kelly and Town Council member Renee Cox will campaign for the future mayor’s seat. Primary elections will be held in May, followed by the general election in November. The Town of Fishers, which will become a city in 2015, will also add six district council members, three at-large council members and a city clerk.

Fadness, 31, has been a seven-year resident of Fishers and town manager for three years.

Raised in North Dakota, he attended Indiana University and received his graduate degree in public affairs with local government management. He has been married to wife Aunna for three years. A Republican, Fadness said he considers himself “100 percent future oriented to the community.”

Moving forward “We have so much potential here in Fishers,” he said. “Now is the time to move our community forward.”

Fadness said his plan of advancing the future city involves putting together an economic plan, embracing entrepreneurship opportunities and creating a strong sense of community by developing downtown to give Fishers “a great sense of identity.”

In addition, his vision includes efficient managing of departments to provide the highest level of service at the lowest cost possible.

Fadness also acknowledged the growing increase in crime, as Fishers’ population has risen

over recent years from about 20,000 to 83,000 residents. “We will continue to evolve the fire and police department (to address this problem),” he said.

Thinking outside the box Renee Cox, 42 and an 18-year resident of central Indiana and town council member for the past two and one-half years, originally hails from northwest Illinois. A healthcare professional, Cox received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Ill. She has been married to her husband, David, for 10 years and enjoys spending time with her goddaughter and 12 nieces and nephews.

Cox, a Republican, also has a strong sales and recruiting background. She said she believes her experience with implementing relationships, negotiating contracts and having a strong customer service approach are all assets when working with the public.

“We have highly educated and talented residents here in Fishers and a quality of life that is not commonly found,” she said. “Companies throughout the

country may find a new ‘home’ in Fishers, and I will seek them out and bring them here.”

In addition, she said she does not believe in a “cookie cutter” approach with a variety of issues, whether they are related to matters concerning economic development or improving radio communication abilities among firemen.

“I think outside of the box with calculated risks,” she said.

Education, safety and economic development Walt Kelly is no stranger to Fishers, having been a resident for 37 years. A former president of Fishers Town Council from 1973 to 2000, the Republican has been married to his wife, Sheila, for 43 years. He has two sons, a daughter and four grandchildren. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Indiana University, Kelly served basic training at Fort Polk, Louisiana for the Army National Guard.

During Kelly’s leadership of council, he maintained one of the lowest tax rates in the state.

As well, he facilitated the construction of Town Hall, initiated Fishers Freedom Festival and pa-

rade and was awarded the Town of Fishers Key to the City in 2001.

Kelly said he plans to take into account traffic congestion issues, natural boundaries, and financial impact of decisions. “For example, the old A&W Root Beer location at 116th and Lantern Road has been empty for years,” Kelly said. “I think it’s because traffic makes that location less desirable than it should be. These things need to be taken into account. I favor sustainable economic development over “any” economic development.

In addition, Kelly said he believes funding is a major challenge in Fishers schools. “Research supports that well-managed school systems with proven academic performance help attract employers and families to our community,” he said.

Lastly, Kelly noted the recent increase in burglaries and vehicle break-ins throughout Fishers.

“Our public officials do a fantastic job, but it’s not all on them. Are we giving them all of the resources they need? Are we budgeting properly for personnel and equipment?”

The new Mayor will take office on Jan. 1, 2015.

Advice for a new mayor?

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and Westfield Mayor Andy Cook gave their advice to candidates running for mayor: Brainard: “A successful candidate needs to first and foremost listen carefully to what people want their community to be and needs to be able to focus on doing a few things that well but make sure they are things that make a big difference. Most of all, the successful candidate needs to have a deep

Brainard

interest in seeing their city and its people succeed, grow and prosper.”

Cook: “The candidates should surround themselves with great people. It’s important to have a solid support system during a mayoral campaign to cushion any major falls, but also lift you up and help celebrate any successes along the way, but always remember not to take it all too seriously.”

The president of the United States and Congress are treating the national budget crisis like a big game of “Kick the Can.” The “can” symbolizes major issues that go decades without resolution and continue to affect the livelihood of the American people. Nothing seems to get resolved as the “can” is kicked further down the road just so the players can keep the game going, i.e., remain in office to collect a handsome salary and lifelong benefits.

The latest such issue involves a government shutdown resulting in hundreds of thousands of federal employees being furloughed with interruptions in service affecting government contractors and consumers. The shutdown will cost taxpayers even more money with the promise of interest on back pay owed to furloughed employees.

Perhaps the president and Congress should move their game to the sandbox where they can all learn to get along. Continuing an endless federal spending spree on credit is really no different than recklessly racking up debt on a personal credit card and having the limit raised so it doesn’t have to be paid off. New debt ceilings can’t be purchased at the hardware store. They come at a much higher cost.

Clear as mud Commentary by Terry Anker With full understanding that one is likely being judged for relying upon the antiquated form of an actual dictionary for information rather than asking Siri, I must begin by noting that recently I pulled a dusty book from the shelf, and with great intention split the tome seeking a greater understanding of a single word.

It is true, much of our comprehension comes from the context in which a word is expressed but, if words matter, shouldn’t we make them as precise as our meager abilities might allow them to be?

On this particular occasion, a commentator on the BBC world radio station was, as British commentators on the BBC world radio station often do, making use of the English language in a way that exceeded my ability to keep up. The words he deployed, while no doubt entertaining, struck the listener as if designed to intentionally obfuscate the matter at hand. Perhaps, the point was clear but an incomplete command of

the vernacular was the problem. So with the dictionary retrieved and a quick perusal accomplished, I discovered that the tone of the smooth-tongued journalist indeed was inconsistent with what he was actually saying!

Words like Quantitative Easing – now shortened in some circles to simply QE – often intentionally belie the intention of the ones behind the fancy phraseology. What is the Defense of Marriage Act designed to defend? Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act? TARP? (Which, by the way, is Troubled Asset Recovery Act).

These are all very nice words. How can these not be good things? We like “care” and “defend” and “asset.” Listening is an action. Our duty is to treat it that way.

You might have heard this, but those legislative giants in the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill recently to guarantee back pay for all federal employees furloughed in the continuing government shutdown. As of press time, the Senate had yet to undertake voting on the same measure. How benevolent it was of the Republican-controlled House to approve what amounts to more paid vacation time for federal workers. Yes, the House members of the Grand Old Party really have their priorities straight. But we can’t and shouldn’t blame these workers; we’re certain they’re just as convulsed in laughter as we are over how pitifully injudicious their bosses are. Or, maybe not.

When you consider the body of evidence inside the Beltway, perhaps being paid to not work is just business as usual. If that’s the prevailing model, there certainly is ample substantiation of achievement on that front.

Really, I do love Doo!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

During the weekend a woman approached me at Meijer. As always, I braced myself for a verbal assault. Instead she told me how humor much she loved my column and how well she related to my life. But when my husband returned from the breakfast food aisle, she said, “And this must be Doo. I don’t know how you stand it, with her always ragging on you in a public forum. It must be terrible for you to live with her!” She was dead serious. We all kind of chuckled and then carried on with our separate shopping runs. But the encounter rattled me. Do all of my adoring fans think I hate my husband? Do you all feel we’re on the brink of divorce? Granted, he frustrates me often, and I still can’t understand why cleaning out the garage trumps putting dirty plates in the dishwasher, but truth be told, I like my husband.

A lot. So in a departure from my normal “Doo is honking me off,” rant, I’m going to focus on just one of the many reasons why I love him.

Bottom line, Doo gets me. He embraces my crazy and understands that as irrationally as I can sometimes behave (particularly around the third week of the month), together we make an amazing partnership. “Wonder spouse power, activate!”

For example, just the other day we were trying to resolve a disagreement with a friend. My

immediate response was to shy away from the conflict and allow the person to take advantage of me simply so I could avoid a confrontation.

Doo went in the opposite direction, using every hyperbole he could dream up and numerous references to the People’s Court. While we were hashing out our distinctly different opinions, he was able to beef up my confidence so that I could take a stand, and I was able to back him off the litigation ledge. “Form of … a great team!”

This summer when we were traveling through North Africa and Turkey, every time I wanted to bag a new experience because I was anxious or tired or afraid of the indigenous snake population, Doo reminded me that this was a once-in-alifetime trip. (Also that if I did somehow manage to get myself bitten by a cobra, I would have an incredibly cool story to tell, assuming I survived.) He refused to allow me to miss any such opportunities.

So, yes, I do love my husband, and I know that I am very lucky to have him in my life. I ask that you please remember this one column should you ever see us in the dairy section at Meijer.

Peace out.

Now comes the ‘won’t’ list

Commentary by Mike Redmond

I have a birthday coming up, and a big one it is. Not quite the milestone of 60 or 65, but a significant number just the same. humor My first thought is that I ought to use this as a time of reflection, but then I remember that I’ve seen my reflection and it isn’t all that interesting.

I feel strongly that this should be a grown-up kind of birthday. By that I mean I have outgrown the “I want I want I want” birthdays of kidhoods, when October meant a chocolate cake, a new toy gun for the arsenal and a $10 bill from Grandma. Now, because I have reached a certain age – I’ll be 59 if you must know – I no longer have a list of what I want, mostly because I don’t want anything. I don’t eat cake, I still have a few of my toy guns and I can get my own $10 bill.

No, this is not the birthday of want. Instead it is the birthday of won’t. As in, I am old enough now to start naming the things I no longer intend to do.

Now that I am 59, or nearly so, I won’t eat broccoli.

On this I am following the lead of George H. W. Bush, 41st President of the United States, who in 1990 declared that he was never wanted to see broccoli on his plate again. ‘’I do not like broccoli,’’ he said, “and I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United

States, and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.’’

President Bush was 65 when he made that declaration, so perhaps I’m jumping the gun a little. I don’t care. I don’t like broccoli, either, and even if I’m not president, I’m done with it.

Now before you broccoli lovers start lecturing me about how good it is and how good it is for you, let me point out that I eat plenty of other vegetables, including most of the examples from the same plant family, the brassicas (from the Latin for “who passed gas?”).

I love cabbage. I love cauliflower (until you cook it, in which case, no thanks). I love Brussels sprouts (but only if they’re roasted with olive oil and plenty of salt until the outer leaves get brown and crunchy). I’m partial to kohlrabi, fond of mustard greens, adore collards and have been known to make a pig of myself on turnips and greens. I think that should get me a pass.

Besides, broccoli lovers, with me out of the way that’s just more for the rest of you. At some point a man has to put down his size-12 foot and make a declaration about who he is. This is that time. I am Mike Redmond and I am a guy who does not eat broccoli, and that is that.

Inside jokes, I’m full of them Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Lately I’ve been home staring at the four walls. Actually all 28 walls. When you are bored, you count things. I have also humor been staring out each of my 16 windows.

I’ve been stuck indoors the last few weeks, so I needed to find humorous topics inside my house.

Problem is that in more than 600 newspaper columns, I’ve already written about most of the rooms - including the two baths. My very first column was about the garage. Successful people like Levi Strauss and Steve Jobs began their careers with ideas conceived in the garage. This really bugs me. I have never started anything noteworthy in my garage besides my l978 Ford Pinto when it was only nine degrees outside.

I also have written about the basement. Well, we called it the basement until we invested a boatload of money to fix it up; then we started calling it the lower level. The plan was to make a beautiful room where we could entertain guests, sip wine and talk about good books. We had a pool table, but we only used the cue sticks to wrangle cobwebs from the ceiling. The playing surface became the perfect resting area for a year’s supply of Bush’s baked beans. We finally sold the pool table. It cost us more to get rid of it than to buy it. The area looks much more open now, but I keep tripping over the cans of beans.

After we got a new washing machine in the

laundry room, I wrote about how complicated the instructions were. The buttons gave me options such as silk, cotton, or wool. One setting said hand wash, but I wasn’t going to stick my fingers in there so I opted for Purel instead. The dryer had a setting called super hot, which I told my wife was a setting especially for her. Sounds romantic, but we weren’t at a dreamy little café.

We were standing knee-deep in dirty sheets and underwear.

As for the living room and dining room, I wrote about picking out colors for our new carpeting based on the decorating bestseller, “50 Shades of Beige.” I also admitted that in my home office my prized possession, a signed cartoon strip by Charles Schulz, was probably a forgery and not even worth peanuts.

I’ve written six columns concerning the kitchen - about expired food, toaster ovens, microwaves and how to properly stack plates in the dishwasher. I have never written about our bedroom because there is no funny stuff going on in there. Hmmm … I may need to rewrite that sentence.

I hope to get out more so I can gain more insights for my next humor column.

Local talent shown at annual film festival

news@currentinfishers.com

Are you yearning to watch a movie you can actually relate to, rather than view yet another shoot ‘em up flick? film The Heartland Film Festival probably has a movie to fit your tastes. The 22nd incarnation of the event arrives Oct. 17 and continues through Oct. 26. A record of 134 independent films will be shown at a record number of theaters in Indianapolis.

Tim Irwin, Heartland Film Festival’s artistic director, recommends coming out for two events if viewers are short on time.

The opening ceremony will be conducted Oct. 17 and will feature the world premiere of “Gimme Shelter” starring actress Vanessa Hudgens. The screenings will be at 4 and 7:30 p.m. at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and a special red carpet event with the stars will be held at 6:15 p.m.

The following day, Oct. 18, all the winning movies will be screened twice at the AMC theaters in Castleton, 6020 E. 82nd St. in Indianapolis.

“Come for the star power and stay for the movies,” Irwin said.

The awards ceremony will be held in the intimate confines of the Indiana Repertory Theatre on Oct. 19, but unfortunately it has already sold out.

And on Oct. 26 the festival will come to a close with a premiere of “The Book Thief” and a red carpet event featuring Academy Awardwinning actor Geoffrey Rush.

One of the premiere attractions at the festival is sure to be “Medora” – a documentary film shot in Indiana that focuses on the high school boys basketball team that hails from the town of the same name.

Andrew Cohn, the film’s director, is the son of Amy Alexander of Fishers. He said he first heard about Medora after reading a 2009 story in the New York Times about how the team had lost all its games.

So he and a crew of two holed up in a Seymour hotel and set about trying to document the team’s 2011 season.

“We just thought it was going to be a sports documentary,” Cohn said. “Once we got to know the kids, we saw it was much more.”

Medora is located south of Brown County and west of Seymour. Part of the collateral damage of globalization, its factories are gone, its families are in disarray and one of the only things holding it together is its high school.

So when “Medora” shows images of surrounding towns’ decaying Main Streets and abandoned high schools, the correlation isn’t

lost on viewers.

And as Cohn and his crew became more accepted by the players and the town, they quickly realized their documentary wasn’t meant to be about basketball.

Cohn said it’s about answering this question, “What happens when small towns disappear?”

Cohn said he has screened the documentary for the players, the coaches and the school board.

He said the most important praise he re-

ceived was that they liked it.

He also said he thinks the festival is the perfect venue to screen the film.

“I really respect the Heartland Film Festival,” Cohn said. “We’re excited to be a part of it.”

Cohn won’t be able to attend the festival screenings, but he is planning an official Indianapolis premiere Nov. 22 at the Indianapolis History Museum’s IMAX Theater. The entire crew and all the subjects of “Medora” are planning to attend that event.

Amy’s ‘Must-See’ Movies – Amy Pauszek of Ever Film Productions is a Fishers-based movie producer. She also serves as the social media chair for Heartland Film Festival and is a member of the Truly Moving Picture Jury.

• ‘Life Inside Out’ – This film centers on a devoted mother of three teenage boys whose youngest son, Shane, is the family misfit. But upon discovering a forgotten guitar and playing at open-mic nights, the mother is able to connect to her son in new ways. Ultimately, her first brave steps Pauszek prove to be the catalyst for changing not only her life, but her son’s, in complex and unpredictable ways.

• ‘The Crash Reel’ – Snowboarder Kevin Peace’s dreams of Olympic gold were sidelined when he suffered a traumatic brain injury that left him in a coma. His tight-knit family rallied around him, refusing to let him die. Their bonds were further tested when Kevin not only awoke, but wanted to return to his old competitive life.

Chris’s ‘Must-See’ Movies – Christopher Lloyd is a Carmel-based awardwinning film critic with a bachelor’s degree in cinema from New York University and a master’s from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.

• The Forgotten Kingdom – Atang Mokoenya is an unemployed, aimless young man who spends his days idling in the slums of Johannesburg.

When his father dies, Atang must give up his selfish ways and fulfill his Lloyd father’s humble last wishes: to be buried in the rural kingdom of Lesotho, the country they left 15 years earlier in hopes of a better life. This epic story spans the rugged beauty of a little known mountain country where Atang finds the love of his life, and his place in this world.

• Gimme Shelter – Gimme Shelter uncovers the struggle for survival and the hope of redemption through the harsh realities of life on the streets of New Jersey. Based on the lives of actual homeless, pregnant young women, writer and director Ronald Krauss lived in the primary shelter for one year prior to production while writing the Gimme Shelter screenplay.

CCP opens 20th season Oct. 17

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentinfishers.com

Eleven local actresses portraying a variety of women in different life stages will unveil the human condition through individual theatre monologues in Carmel Community Player’s “Talking With…”

The theatre’s opening play of its 20th season was written by Jane Martin and directed by Pamela Kingsley.

It’s virtually 11 one-woman shows woven together to create an exceptional theatrical experience that will touch an audience deeply - whether you are male or female, married or single, Kingsley said.

Each character tells their story through a series of monologues - some very touching, a few emotional and some humorous. The series of characters includes a snake handler, a daughter, a baton twirler, a washed-up rodeo cowgirl, a tattooed woman and an older woman in the twilight of her life.

“The beauty of this play is it speaks to everyone, but it’s explosive and funny and heartbreaking at moments,” Kingsley said. “There are moments that just make you catch your breath.

It’s like I’m seeing it again for the first time, each person brings something new to it. I think audiences will really love it.”

Kingsley said she feels the CCP playhouse is a perfect venue, intimate, not too small and the theater will accommodate the play beautifully.

Fall changes bring new challenges Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

Presented by

Try it in 3-D!

Fall is the season when the variation in temperatures needs to be considered by tailgaters.

You can freeze and, a few hours later, risk sunburn. All in the same day.

On a recent morning - just before dawn - the temperature was in the 30s, but by afternoon it had risen into the high 70s. Staying comfortable and enjoying being outdoors with temperature swings of 40 degrees is a challenge for tailgaters.

Knowing the kickoff time for the game is key.

To tailgate before a game that starts at noon, expect brisk morning air that will feel even colder if the wind is blowing. By afternoon, especially if your stadium seats are in the sun, you’ll be sweating and in need of sunscreen.

For a night game, the pregame tailgating happens in the heat of the day where short sleeves will be appropriate. After sundown it can get downright cold.

So what’s a fan supposed to do?

Think of steps you can take to lessen the effects of nature. If it’s a cold morning, try to place yourself in the sun. To help escape the wind, park your vehicle as a windscreen up-wind from your gathering. Use your grill as a heat source or in more extreme conditions. We’ve even seen fans use portable wood-burning fire pots.

Clothing choice is another key factor for your comfort during the entire day. Your mother always said that you should wear layers, and she was right. By layering, a tailgater can put on and take off items as needed.

A lightweight, waterproof windbreaker works great as an outside shell for protection from rain and wind, as well as retaining body heat. “Sublayer” with shirts and sweaters as conditions dictate, keeping flexibility in mind.

For food calories and internal body heat, try this tailgaters’ favorite that can be eaten standing by the fire or sitting in the shade: Chicken Sloppy Joe’s - Buffalo Style.

Buffalo chicken sandwich

Ingredients (makes eight sandwiches): 2 tablespoons cooking oil, 2 pounds ground chicken, 2 stalks celery, chopped, 1 onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, Sea salt and ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon French’s Worcestershire sauce, 1/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce, 1 cup tomato sauce, 1 cup chicken stock, 8 buns, 1 8 –ounce package bleu cheese, dill pickle slices Preparation: Heat a large skillet with oil over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and break it up, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook about six minutes. Add celery, onions, and garlic; season with salt and black pepper and simmer eight more minutes. In a separate bowl combine vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, tomato sauce and stock. Pour into the pan and stir until well mixed. Simmer until the mixture thickens and can be spooned onto buns. Top with bleu cheese and pickles if desired.

‘Threepenny’ a show for the people

By Jay Harvey • news@currentinfishers.com Everybody knows the big pop hit in “The Threepenny Opera,” familiar in English for decades as “Mac the Knife.” The pop opera culture credentials of that song actually go back centuries.

In context, “Mac the Knife” introduces early in the show the legendary London criminal Macheath. His story was turned into a new kind of opera

by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill for audiences in the fragile Weimar Republic of the late 1920s.

Yet the playwright and composer borrowed their new kind of opera from John Gay’s “Beggar’s Opera,” a hit in 18th-century England for its nosethumbing stance against a lofty foreign import and its remote gods and heroes: Italian opera.

That show’s songs were set to familiar tunes of the day, and its characters were urban lowlifes.

So when Indianapolis Opera presents “The Threepenny Opera” for two weekends this month at the Basile Opera Center, it’s actually offering an “outreach” show with a long pedigree. There’s no need to “bring opera down to the people’s level” when “The Threepenny Opera” is already there - and maybe beneath it.

Director Bill Fabris promises that the production will offer the best English version of the story, with much of the “rough stuff” of the original intact, though still far from the most explicit translated version of the texts. But when the songs and libretto deal with thievery, murder, prostitution, official corruption and assorted other varieties of human knavery, there’s no way to pretty up the work. Fabris and his team wouldn’t want to.

“This translation is closer to the German origi-

From left, Robert Kerr and Janara Rose Kellerman star in “Three Penny Opera”

nal,” he said, adding it still will have resonance to current events in the world, including skepticism about banks and questions about a leader’s birth certificate.

The work’s proper setting is long-ago London, but Indianapolis Opera has changed the look of the piece to the time of the work’s creation. The setting and costumes will have a Berlin cabaret look, he said, that may remind Indianapolis audiences of the hit musical and movie “Cabaret.”

The idea is to present German city dwellers telling the story of some disreputable characters just before their country’s fall into Nazism, he said.

Tribute band brings back ’70s flair

By Terri Spilman • news@currentinfishers.com

A tight white polyester leisure suit is not exactly red carpet fodder for an event at the Palladium - until now.

The Center for the Performing music Arts is inviting guests to unpack their bell bottoms and gold scarves for an “ABBAtastic” costume party to welcome ABBA - The Concert on Oct. 20.

The show is billed as a live musical extravaganza celebrating ABBA, the famous Swedish band that sold more than 370 million records worldwide and inspired the popular Broadway musical, Mamma Mia!.

ABBA - The Concert follows the quartet through songs from their Eurovision beginnings in 1974 with hits such as “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” The internationally acclaimed tribute band features an original member of ABBA’s percussion section at each performance. Drummer Roger Palm, who played with ABBA from 1972-1979, will appear with the tribute band during their performance at the Palladium.

“We’ve been playing the show for a little bit

ABBA - The Concert, a tribute band, will perform at the Palladium at 7 p.m. on Oct. 20.

over a decade - many of the same places and same venues - people are happy and satisfied with the show. It’s a very nostalgic crowd,” said Nate Smith, the tribute group’s spokesperson. “A tribute band selling out huge stadiums band is pretty iconic.”

“Over the next week, we are planning social media posts that will encourage guests to make the night a party - including dressing in ’70s clothes,” said John Hughey, Director of External Relations for The Center for the Performing Arts.

Best to shop around for protection Commentary by Joel Harris Many Americans have access to term life insurance through their employer. This benefit can be a great way to protect your family in the event of an untimely death. insurance If you purchase term insurance through your employer, I highly recommend you examine the plan to learn the specifics. For example, will your coverage end in the event you resign or you’re terminated from your position? Are your premiums higher in your company plan than if you went out in the market to get term insurance on your own? In many company plans the premiums tend to escalate every five years. Furthermore, you tend to get lumped into a standard rate-class as you age with your co-workers, so your premiums can be higher than they should be.

If you’re healthy, it behooves you look into term insurance outside of your employer’s plan.

Let me share a specific example of a how a man (I’ll call him Roger) saved money on his life insurance by getting it on his own.

Roger is healthy male who purchased a $650,000 term insurance policy through his employer. He celebrated his 60th birthday three months ago. Roger needs the term insurance to provide his wife with enough money to pay off the house and supplement his lost income.

His premium for $650,000 worth of coverage was $200 per month at age 59. Because Roger

recently turned 60, he got bumped into a new higher age bracket that caused his premiums to double to $406 per month. At 65, his premiums will jump to $822 per month. These increases in premium will be very difficult on Roger’s budget.

Roger decided to run some comparable quotes to lock in a 15-year term policy with a $650,000 death benefit. He submitted an application with a leading provider, completed the underwriting process and was approved at a non-smoker rating. By doing this, Roger locked in a $217 per month premium payment for $650,000 worth of coverage and dropped his coverage with his employer.

Most importantly, this policy is portable and continues after Roger decides to retire at 67. It will save him a significant amount money over the next 15 years. If you have a plan at work, please take the time to review it closely to make sure you’re not overpaying for this valuable coverage for you and your family.

Please note this is only an example and does not represent your specific situation. Please contact a trusted advisor for more information about your particular needs.

Get off the fence

Commentary by CJ McClanahan

More than 10 years ago, I sat across the table from a franchise broker named Merri. She was helping me through move the needle the process of selecting a business.

We had been working together for about 90 days and had looked at six or seven different opportunities. After carefully reviewing each one, I had determined that none represented the “perfect fit.”

As usual, I was eager to see what new companies she had prepared for me to review. Merri had a different agenda for this meeting. She looked up from her desk and got right to the point.

“CJ, there are two types of people who walk into my office,” she began. “Those that want to buy a business, and those that just want to tell other people they are going to buy a business. I am fairly certain you are the latter.”

I did not appreciate that statement and left the meeting both offended and embarrassed.

A few days later something became clear. She

was 100 percent right. I was just wasting everyone’s time. I either had to move forward or just get used to the fact that I wasn’t prepared to become a business owner.

Less than two months later, I quit my job, depleted our savings and started an executive coaching firm. Most people I meet look a lot like the guy who was called to the carpet 10 years ago in Merri’s office. They have dipped their toe into a handful of areas that are way outside their comfort zone. Unfortunately, every time they are called to make a commitment they scurry back to safety. I’m not suggesting that you need to take huge risks every single day. Instead, what your life needs is clarity and decisiveness. Get off the fence and make a decision.

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

Advances in varicose treatment Free clinic offers flu shots for all Commentary by Jeffery Schoonover

Do you have aching, painful or restless legs, heaviness, swollen ankles or muscle cramping? If so, you may have varicose beauty vein disease. More than half of all women and about 45 percent of men will suffer from varicose vein disease in their lifetime. A family history and aging increase one’s tendency to develop varicose veins.

Other factors include a sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, prolonged standing and pregnancy.

Varicose veins are usually a symptom of chronic venous insufficiency, a disease that causes blood to flow backward in the veins, making them bulge and twist down the leg. Vein disorders are not always visible to the naked eye so the first step in treatment is to have an examination and diagnostic ultrasound vein mapping to determine the cause and severity of your vein problems.

The treatments to eliminate varicose veins and all vein abnormalities have improved dramatically in recent years. No longer do patients need to endure painful surgical vein stripping. Stateof-the-art corrective thermal ablation treatments include endovenous laser treatment, which is performed in the doctor’s office and does not require sedation or a hospital stay. Medical lasers have proven their safety and effectiveness in all kinds of medical procedures and offer far less chance of complications than traditional surgical

approaches.

EVLT eliminates the abnormal saphenous vein, which is the source of most varicose vein issues. Using ultrasound technology, a thin laser fiber is guided into the vein through a very small opening in the skin to deliver light energy to the diseased vein wall, causing the vein to close and eliminating backward blood flow. The blood is automatically routed to other, healthy veins.

Some patients may experience temporary soreness, bruising, or swelling, which can be treated effectively with over-the-counter, nonaspirin pain relievers and typically subsides within the first seven to 10 days. The procedure is minimally invasive and requires no general anesthesia. Only local anesthetic is used to numb the area where the physician is working.

Patients are encouraged to wear compression stockings and walk immediately after the procedure. The vast majority of patients can resume normal activities the same day. Success rates of EVLT are reported as high as 98 percent, and is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for most patients with saphenous related venous insufficiency.

Hope Family Care Center in Cicero opens its doors several times each month to provide free medical and dental care to those in the area who are uninsured or underinsured. This month, it will open those doors a little wider, offering flu shots to anyone, whether they have insurance or not.

The clinic, 270 W. Jackson St., will administer the shots from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 22. The shots will cost $10. The clinic will file insurance and Medicare claims.

Appointments are not necessary, but patients are asked to call the clinic in advance at 9843444 so it can ensure that an ample supply of serum is available.

“Hope Family Care Center’s mission is to provide quality health care for our community, and we always welcome patients from outside of Hamilton County who may not be able to afford seeing a physician,” stated Mike Jenkins, medical clinic CEO. “Offering the flu shots to everyone, even those who are insured, is a way we can serve the entire community.”

The CDC recommends everyone who is at least 6 months old get the flu vaccine, particularly those who are at high risk of developing serious complications if they get sick with the flu, including those who have asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease and those who are pregnant or 65 and older.

Humanity has come a long way

Commentary by Donald Knebel

Near the entrance to Egypt’s Valley of Kings, beneath a pyramid-shaped mountain, is a magnificent 3,500 year-old temple that even today is considered a model for adapttravel ing a building to its surroundings.

Hatshepsut, the powerful female pharaoh honored by this mortuary temple, was unknown until the twentieth century. Her successors had tried to erase not only her memory but her very existence.

Hatshepsut was born in 1508 B.C., the daughter of Thutmose I, the first pharaoh entombed in the Valley of the Kings. After a brief stint as regent for a young male pharaoh, Hatshepsut declared herself pharaoh in 1479 B.C. During her reign, she dressed as a man, even wearing a false beard strapped around her head. One of the most successful rulers of her era, she greatly expanded Egyptian trade and engaged in a massive building program unmatched for centuries. One of the many buildings she constructed was her mortuary temple at a complex now called Deir el-Bahri, dedicated at her death in 1458 B.C. Like other pharaohs, Hatshepsut made sure that the walls of her colonnaded mortuary temple contained numerous images of herself and hieroglyphic representations of her name.

Egyptians believed that their ka, the essence of their being, could live on after their deaths in a physical representation of the deceased, such as

Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. (Photo by Don Knebel)

an image or an inscribed name.

Pharaohs ruling after Hatshepsut tried to eliminate any place for her ka to reside. They destroyed her statutes, obliterated her images on temple walls and erased her name from everything they could find, including lists of pharaohs. Scholars believe these pharaohs saw depriving Hatshepsut’s ka of a place to live as a way to restore Ma’at, the natural order of the universe they thought had been upset by their female predecessor.

Twentieth century archaeologists reconstructed Hatshepsut’s lost reign from images

overlooked for destruction. Her mummy, found without markings, was identified in 2007 when a tooth known to be hers matched the mummy’s empty socket. Hatshepsut’s mummy now lies alongside those of other great pharaohs, all men, in the Cairo Museum. Many would say the true natural order has finally been restored.

An intro to reflexive pronouns Commentary by Jordan Fischer

itself.

Reflexive pronouns have more nuances than I can cover in a single column, so let’s focus on how they are predominately misused. They are most often incorrectly substituted for subject or object pronouns.

There are two rules to remember about reflexive pronouns: 1. Use a reflexive pronoun when the subject and object of a sentence are the same person or thing.

2. Reflexive pronouns are always objects, never subjects.

Example: “I dressed myself this morning.” The subject of the sentence is the speaker, “I,” and the object is also the speaker.

Since the subject is acting upon itself, we use a reflexive verb; “myself” in this case. You should not use reflexive pronouns as replacements for subject pronouns, as in, “Myself and Susan are going to the movies.”

To keep it simple: If the subject of a sentence is acting upon itself, use a reflexive pronoun for the direct object. If it’s not, don’t.

QUESTION: “Your attempts to educate others on the ins and outs of the English language are to be lauded. Can grammar guy you now attack the widespread misuse of reflexive pronouns? I often hear supposedly well-educated people say things like: ‘Myself and Susan are going to the movies.’ ‘Who’s on the committee besides yourself?’ ‘If you have any questions, please get in touch with Pete or myself.’ And the list goes on and on. Thanks.” (John Haney) ANSWER: For those who study another language, reflexive verbs are one of the first hurdles native English speakers come across. While we have reflexive verbs, like “perjure,” our verbs don’t have a reflexive form independent of the infinitive. Instead, we just add on the appropriate reflexive pronoun to match the subject.

(It’s worth noting that a language like Spanish builds our “subject-verb-object” structure into their reflexive verbs, rather than separating them as we do. Now, back to English.)

Reflexive pronouns are words like “myself,” “yourself,” “himself” and “themselves” which refer back to the subject of a sentence. We use them when the subject of a sentence is acting upon

FALL RESOLUTIONS You do not need to wait for January 1 to change your habits or adopt a goal! The changing of the season may be all the motivation it takes for you to want to get yourself in tip-top shape or lose weight! Not to mention, cardiovascular activity is imperative to great heart health!

Here are a few tips to get fit before the New Year! #1 Enlist a Friend!

Accountability is the number one reason why appointments at the gym fall by the wayside. Enlist a friend or family member to help motivate you when you need it most. #2 You Never Regret a Workout Think about the way you are going to feel as soon as those thirty minutes on the treadmill are up. Remind yourself that the hardest part about working out is getting out the door. Feelings are temporary, your body is forever. #3 Make Achievable Goals It’s easy to say you’ll commit to going to the gym every single day, but in order to truly make it there it has to be achievable. Begin with small, achievable goals that are realistic to your schedule and current physical abilities. Your confidence will build as you achieve these small goals. #4 Find a Reason!

Feeling a little vain that the main reason you want to workout is to fit in those skinny jeans? Who cares!? If you lose weight in a healthy, moderate and sustainable way the reasoning behind the weight loss is unimportant. Your physical health will benefit from attaining a weight that is healthy for your body type. #5 Make that Perfect Playlist Stay motivated by creating a playlist with your favorite songs!

TRENCH TREND This season step out in a classic trench coat with a twist. To make a statement, opt for one with a little flair! Leather accents, rich colors, patent finishes, and quilted textures give an updated twist on the classic silhouette.

Trench coats come in all shapes and sizes, so make sure you find the right fit for your body.

Above-the-knee or mid-thigh styles work best on petite sizes, longer lengths work on taller frames. Make sure to try on a trench coat with an appropriate layering element, like a medium-size sweater, to ensure the right fit and to keep you from buying one in a size too small.

RAINY DAY BOOT GUIDE Fall is a tricky time of year. You never know if you’ll get that unexpected first snow or a few days of torrential rain. Prepare yourself this season by always being armed with a pair of great rain boots (Tip: keep them in your car.). The sturdy kind will get you through all kinds of weather; rain or snow. Wear them with your skinny jeans, leggings or a fun pair of tights.

Need a little extra warmth in the boot? Add a pair of knee-high socks, and let them peak out of the top of your boots for an added layered look.

New master bath features zero-threshold shower

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing bathroom: This home is located in the River Glen subdivision in Fishers. Although they had remodeled their bathroom seven years ago, the homeowners were not happy with their master bathroom. “When we remodeled the blueprint for bathroom, we were hoping to not have improvement to do it again. The shower never really worked for us, and when it began to leak, we decided it was a great opportunity to get a new design.”

Aging in place: Aging-in place led the design process for the new master shower. “I wanted to be able to get a wheel chair in and out if need be,” said the homeowner. Fortunately, zerothreshold shower pans have emerged in the market place, allowing for much easier installation. According to the Project Designer, “We have to slightly modify the existing floor joists to fit the zero threshold pan. This allows the cement board underlayment to seamlessly blend into the shower pan, eliminating the need to float the lightweight concrete shower base in order to get the adequate drainage.”

Shower details: The shower footprint was expanded, and the floor was covered with 2” x 2” mosaic tile that matched the existing tile on the tab deck. The shower walls were tiled in 12” x 18” Milos beige porcelain with 1/8” grout lines rather than the standard ¼. The accent tile is Multi-Tumbled Smooth Rectangle set horizontally at 6” high.

Other master bath details: For the rest of the bathroom, minor touches brought the remodel together. “Our house is very traditional and I wanted an ultra-modern look,” said the homeowner.

“But, due to budget reasons, we could not get rid of the traditional vanity.” The design therefore called for more transitional material choices, with hints of modern like frameless shower doors. A

Before granite remnant in Venetian Gold was installed as the vanity countertop with two new sinks. The existing plumbing was reinstalled throughout the space.

“You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public.”

“Posting our job opening in Current was a tremendous success. Within hours of the issue being distributed, we had numerous inquiries from very qualified individuals. We signed up to have our ad run for two weeks, but was able to settle for one since we found the perfect person to fill our position so quickly.

You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public, and we will definitely use its services again."

-Brian Carriger sales support manager Dimensions Furniture, Carmel
