Search for suspect - Police are asking for the public’s help in a search for the suspect in an attempted robbery Tuesday morning in Fishers. The suspect allegedly held up a man in his driveway on Willowbrook Drive in Deerbrook apartment complex. The resident told police a man approached him, implied he had a gun and asked for money. When the resident told him he didn’t have any money, the suspect patted him down and then ran toward Allisonville Road. The resident was not harmed. Police shut down a busy area of Fishers as K-9 units searched for the suspect.

Students from Sand Creek Elementary show excitement with their art project, creating chess pieces. The completed endeavor will be used for an outdoor chess game to be displayed and used in the school’s sculpture garden. (Submitted photo)

Students create chess-piece art

By Hollie Nicholson • news@curentinfishers.com

Two teachers at Sand Creek Elementary have taken collaboration and teamwork to a new level.

Combining math and art skills, Education critical thinking, and teamwork, art teacher Amy McDuffee and third grade REACH (high ability) teacher Molly Coffman joined forces to help their students create an outdoor chess set.

The project was created in response to SCE’s emphasis on the importance of integration between general education classes and related arts. McDuffee had brainstormed a list of projects she could do in her class that would encourage the assimilation; one of her ideas being a chess project. This project would be permanent in the school, functional for students and encourage math and art skills, critical thinking and teamwork. Coffman believed her students would enjoy the chess project. The activity included creating chess pieces for an outdoor chess game that would be displayed and used in the school’s sculpture garden. The preparation needed

for creating the pieces was taught during McDuffee’s 35-minute art class and the actual game and strategy was taught in Coffman’s classroom. A half day was used to hold an extended art class to create the pieces. The students had control to creatively produce the two- to three-feet abstract chess pieces.

“The students were split into groups and assigned the pieces they needed to create. We went over safety skills, basic instruction on how to use a hammer and began working. I brought a drill in from home and our principal came in to help,” McDuffee said.

Funding for a large project of this kind typically comes out of a teacher’s own pocket. However, Sand Creek Elementary PTO reimbursed McDuffee for part of the expenses. The Home Depot also gave a discount on the pieces of wood and gave additional cuts free of charge. The day was successful for the teachers and students who created a real-world experience that cultivated and challenged teamwork, problem solving and creativity.

“It isn’t always easy working in group settings, but the students worked together and did a great job,” McDuffee said.

Town council approves 2014 budget

Current in Fishers

www.currentinfishers.com

7

Just announced.

What happened: The Town council meeting held Oct. 21 approved an $81 million recommended budget from Town Manager Scott Fadness for 2014.

What this will mean: the town projects a slight decrease in municipal property taxes; fund reserves are forecasted to exceed 16.5 million; the assessed value of property in town shows a 4.6 percent increase as opposed to a previous project of a 1 percent increase. The reason for the assessment increase, according to Fadness, is higher property values and more residential and commercial construction activity.

What happened: Discussion of areas with older homes and no HOA covenants.

What this will mean: A program called “Keep Fishers Beautiful,” will use nonprofits and civic organizations to improve the appearance of those older homes that have elderly residents or, due to health problems, people who can no longer take care of their homes properly. As a result, a home maintenance ordinance may be needed at this time. Staff will research the possibility and report their findings of how other municipalities handle this request to the council.

What happened: A county-wide emergency radio system has been approved by Hamilton County officers. Motorola will handle the contract. Radio equipment, including hand-held devices, must be purchased by the local government.

0% to 60 months on all 2013 Lincoln MKZs gas or hybrid.

See my friends at Tom Roush for the very best deals!

What this will mean: Motorola will handle the contract. All local governments must buy new radio equipment for the revamped system, including hand-held devices. In order to purchase the radios, the Fire Department alone will need to pay $60,000. The Fishers Police Department officers is expected to pay even more for hand-held radios. Fishers will be charged approximately $900,000 per year to run the new radio systems and 911 service. The new system may not be installed and complete until 2015.

Play focuses on risk-taking

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com

In each annual Spirit & Place Festival, there is a theme designed to challenge the public with artistic programs seen for the Theatre first time. This year’s theme is “risk,” created to encourage guests who may want to make a positive change in their lives.

No one understands risk more than Donna Wing, a local resident and Artistic Director for Oaklandon Civic Theatre, who also plays Ralph Waldo Emerson’s wife Lydia. The theatre is part of the upcoming Spirit & Place Festival, presenting, “The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail.”

The drama was inspired by Wing as she took a leap of faith from her lucrative job as a tenured professor of nursing to pursue her dream of acting and directing. During the same time, her husband David Wing resigned from his lengthy and well-respected career as an officer with United Airlines to explore other opportunities.

“We left without knowing where going,” Donna said. There’s a saying, ‘If you don’t know where you are going, you might be someplace else.’

Where we wound up was out of this world.”

The play follows the life of Henry David Thoreau, a mid-19th century author, poet, philosopher and abolitionist, and highlights his somewhat stormy friendship with his mentor, Ralph Waldo Emerson, an essayist, poet, lecturer and leader of the Transcendentalist movement.

The drama centers on the night Thoreau spent in jail for refusing to pay taxes because he did not want to support the Mexican/American war.

“He was very vocal, very antigovernment,” said Robert Webster, the actor who plays Thoreau.

“In today’s day and age, he was definitely a libertarian.”

Although Emerson was also considered a nonconformist, he was cautious to publicly speak about his beliefs, according to Webster. For example, during the time in which some AfricanAmerican slaves had managed to escape the south, the Fugitive Slave Law required that the runaway slave be returned.

“He knows what’s morally wrong, but he was hesitant to speak out as a lecturer (due to the potential damage) for his reputation,” Webster said.

After the first four shows of the play, David Wing will speak about the subject of risk, inviting guests to participate.

“David talks about risks in life, careers and going against the grain and what society expects,” Donna said.

If you go: “The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail” will open Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. and continue for five more performances on Nov. 3, 8, 9, 15 & 16 at Oaklandon Civic Theatre, 6450 Oaklandon Rd., Indianapolis. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m.; Sunday’s matinee is at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 each and can be reserved by calling 823.4761, ext. 4 or online at oaklandcivictheatre.org.

Fundraising for clean water

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com The Second Annual Water Is Life Charity Ball, hosted by the Fishers Rotary Club, will be raising money again to help Philanthropy more residents of Sierra Leone, Africa, so that they may have access to clean water from wells.

Last year’s charity ball raised $55,000; that amount, along with matching funds from the Rotary Club, provided fresh water for thousands of people in Sierra Leone.

“As a born Sierra Leone, on behalf of our Mothers, Fathers, Children and nation, I want to thank you all for doing the best you all could to save lives in Sierra Leone,” said Massah Saffa, who lives in Sierra Leone. “Water is life, and as you give our people life, God will breathe a life of blessing to you.”

The Water Is Life project has been sponsored by the Rotary Club since 2008; since that time, more than $550,000 has been raised and 100,000 people have been given access to clean water.

Contributing to Water Is Life has brought perspective to members of Fishers Rotary Club, including Rusty Webb, a board member.

“In Sierra Leone, little boys wear two-liter bottles as shoes, and there is one outfit shared between two little boys,” he said. “We’re so blessed here; I have a car and don’t even complain about the traffic anymore.”

This year’s charity ball will be held Dec. 7 at

Forum Credit Union. Guests’ perks for supporting the project include a cocktail hour, three-course dinner, a jazz/swing orchestra, dancing, live and silent auctions and a visit from “Indy’s Best Santa,” Ty Stover. The dress is black-tie optional Some of the items to be auctioned off include trips, Pacers tickets, a limo ride, tires and jewelry.

Many guests of last year’s event, including David Berman, praised the success of the charity ball.

“The venue was perfect for the very significant event in the Fishers Rotary commitment to service,” he said. “The big band was superb, the event well-coordinated between food service, entertainment and the silent auction. The meal was well-prepared and served, plentiful and tasted very good.

“Seeing the faces of the children and their parents (from Sierra Leone) in the video of this amazing gift of life (pure clean water) will never leave me,” he concluded.

Commentary by Heather Kestian

It is about to get crazy in my house. The holiday gauntlet is on the verge of being thrown. I know I should enjoy this time plain talk of year, but it is high stress.

With all the planning, traveling and year-end activities to balance, I usually go a little crazy. However, this year I resolve to be better prepared and less stressed, so I have started the planning process before Halloween.

I admit, in years past I have wanted everything to be perfect. I order the organic turkey, buy the necessary supplies weeks before only to forget a key ingredient (the cooking bag, for example), and shampoo the carpets. One year, I even re-caulked the sink. I was obsessed with presentation.

Then life happened and we had a second child.

That is when the bananas happened.

Having a second (or any subsequent number) child will rock your world. Gone are the days of perfection and shampooed carpets. Within minutes of last year’s shampoo, we had a blow out diaper and breast milk vomit on the freshly dried

carpet. I sat and wondered, why on earth did I just shampoo the carpets? Should I re-shampoo?

Then that little voice in my head said, “Your kid has something viral, spot treat and move on. This is going to repeat itself. Do not be an idiot. And if your guests do not understand, kick them out. It is your house, remember?”

I invite my fellow moms, dads, grandparents and fellow child caretakers to stop and enjoy the holidays. Ditch the perfection quest. Someone will do something absurd, say something ridiculous and something will be forgotten. It is OK. It took me years of trying so hard and burning the midnight oil to finally say, “Let it go.” If no one dies or goes to the hospital, we are successful.

My mantra for the Holiday Gauntlet of 2013: poop happens, usually on the carpet and completely unplanned, so move on. Do not forget a good bottle of wine.

Serving and volunteering becomes a focus for entire family

By Holly Kline • news@youarecurrent.com Julie and Mitch Davis and their three kids comprise a typical Fishers family that live with the usual round of work commitments, sports and school activities. Along the cover story way, serving and volunteering has become a focus for the whole family.

Mitch helped start local ministry Mission Uprising, and through that organization Julie and Mitch lead annual Father/Son and Father/Daughter camps at SpringHill camp in Seymour. The camps are volunteer-run and provide a weekend camping adventure for dads and their kids.

The Davis family also is involved with building homes through the Homes of Hope organization. Mitch’s employer, CWAM, organizes build trips out of Indianapolis and Mitch and Julie, their kids, their friends and others have recently helped build homes in Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

“People have given to us, and this is an opportunity to pay it forward,” said Julie. “We like the fact that our volunteering involves families.”

Both Julie and Mitch are quick to point out that they don’t want their volunteering efforts to be about them.

“The coolest thing about all of this is that it is less about us and more about seeing someone new who is volunteering for the first time or attending the camps and you see, for example, fathers and daughters who didn’t connect and you see them make a transformation,” Mitch said. “Or, on the builds, everyone wants to serve and it’s cool to see the transformations of the people who are serving.”

Building the Homes “People who have never swung a hammer can build a house,” Mitch said.

Homes of Hope pours the concrete slab at the location using local labor and buys the rest of the building materials from local lumberyards. Homes of Hope also brings in a builder to make sure the houses are being built correctly and they provide an interpreter.

“It’s the great equalizer,” Mitch stated. “On a build, you can have an NFL player, the CEO of a company, a missionary, a stay-athome parent, a kid and the family you’re building for, and they’re all wearing the same T-shirts, all getting sweaty and they’re all exactly the same.”

Dale Cardozo and his daughter, Lauren, volunteered on a build with Julie and Mitch. “The memory of the Homes of Hope build in Mexico that stands out,” Cardozo said, “is when our team completed the home and had the privilege of handing over the keys to the Mexican family who was previously living in a dilapidated, dirtfloor shack. The joy of giving was a heart-warming moment that my daughter and I will never forget.”

“The volunteer experiences build relationships,” Julie added. “It builds relationships with our family, with the volunteers who are serving with us and with the family we are building for.

“I think it draws you closer when you experience a home build,” she continued. “It’s a bonding experience.”

Father/Daughter and Father/Son Camps A family bonding experience is part of what drives Julie and Mitch to lead the yearly Father/Daughter and Father/Son camps.

“We wanted to have an opportunity for the fathers and the kids

Mitch Davis’ employer, CWAM, organizes build trips out of Indianapolis. The Davis family has recently helped build homes in Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

Mitch Davis, with sons Nathan, 14, and Nicholas, 9, said, “The coolest thing about all of this is that it is less about us and more about seeing someone new who is volunteering for the first time or attending the camps and you see, for example, fathers and daughters who didn’t connect and you see them make a transformation. Or, on the builds, everyone wants to serve and it’s cool to see the transformations of the people who are serving.”

The Davis family, including Mitch, Julie and their daughter Claire, 12, is involved with building homes through the Homes of Hope organization. “The volunteer experiences build relationships,” Julie said.

“It builds relationships with our family, with the volunteers who are serving with us and with the family we are building for. “

to intentionally engage, to get to know each other and have fun away from the busyness of the world,” Mitch said.

The camps have been in existence for about nine years; the Father/Daughter weekend is in the fall and the Father/Son event takes place in the spring.

“The camp experience creates something to go back to,” Mitch said. “It creates memories and chances to find out what my son or daughter would like to do more and what they would like to do with me.”

“It’s a chance for sons to see that dads are fun,” Mitch continued. “For the daughters we do a dance and lots of chances to compete together. We create memory points and it’s why people

keep coming back.”

Julie agrees. “It’s all about shared experiences for the sons and daughters,” she said.

Julie and Mitch will continue to volunteer as a family with their kids, Nathan, 14, Claire, 12 and Nicholas, 9, and they are hopeful that their story may inspire others to give their time in any way they can, big or small.

“It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that people need us everywhere,” Mitch said. “You can serve globally or two blocks from your house. There are people who need us every day.”

“You never know what one invitation, what one action will lead someone to go and do,” Julie said.

FROM THE BACKSHOP There’s no one but ourselves to blame

Hold your horses It is our position that recreational horseback riding should not be allowed on the Monon Trail. On a daily basis, a combination of more than 4,000 runners, walkers, bicyclists and rollerbladers struggle to exist in harmony while navigating a mere 10 to 15 foot wide asphalt trail. The proposed addition of horseback riders to the mix will undoubtedly stir up nothing but trouble on the trail. As the cowboy saying goes, “If it has tires, testicles or hooves, you are going to have problems with it.”

If a darting squirrel on the trail can cause a dog to flee, stroller to squeal and bike to skid, imagine the presence of a 1,000 pound animal in the middle of the bustling city who is happiest when running through a field and not confined to a slow gallop in a crowd.

Recreational use of paved public trails is an outstanding benefit and an extremely enjoyable attribute of living in the community. It is not unreasonable to pass an ordinance clarifying reasonable speed limits, rules of the road and cleanliness for the safety of paved public trail users. It is unreasonable to complicate the issue by letting the horse out of the barn.

All in the family Commentary by Terry Anker As much as some people like to complain about our imperial city, Washington, D.C., I tend to find it, like the European capitals it is designed to emulate, much like the American ethos. It is at once aspiring to what is perhaps an unattainable, maybe even mythological, desire to live an egalitarian utopia; and, it envies the grandeur and power of monarchs represented by rows of imposing stone buildings and the grand palais of the ruling classes.

The city itself is beautifully designed as a tourist attraction and a symbol of dominion. Work there can be challenging but the outsized salaries, luxurious benefits and abundant prestige more than offset the inconvenience of long commutes and extortionate cost of living. D.C.’s suburban communities in Maryland led to that state being named the wealthiest in America. But the mix of money and power, like chum in the water, tends to attract a certain kind of fish.

Overhearing a conversation about government spending in a D.C. restaurant between me and a

longtime but politically opposite friend, another diner determined to participate in our polite exchange. The interloper, apparently charged by a disagreement with his much younger female companion and likely one whiskey too many, ultimately expressed his frustration by saying, “You business people are all alike - you all think that government should be run like a business.”

“No,” I replied, “government should be run like we run our families.” Isn’t it possible to be fiscally responsible without lacking compassion? Isn’t it possible to match our desire to give with our ability to do so? Isn’t it as harmful to spoil as to starve? Can’t we share power with our spouse, find and even seek compromise knowing that ours is a shared course and that we are better served for traveling together?

Further proof that our government is way too big and incredibly out of control: What Were We Thinking? (Part I): No huge surprise to us, but members of Congress are routinely using campaign coffers as personal “slush funds,” according to “60 Minutes.”

They’re called “Leadership PACs” to fund trips to high-roller golf courses, NFL games and other destinations – and are even personally making money off the PACs by lending to them and charging steep interest. Perhaps we shouldn’t complain about it; we’re all guilty of putting these people in office. Don’t vote for any incumbent in the coming congressional elections. Wipe Congress clean on both sides of the aisle. Maybe a fresh start will bring a fresh approach. And maybe Santa will bring us everything on our list, too? We can always hope.

••• What Were We Thinking? (Part II): Yet another strike by unionized transit workers, this time in the Bay Area of California. BART workers struck recently for the second time this year. This is what certain leaders want to bring to Indiana? If government is behind it, this is exactly what we’ll get. Vote down government-backed mass transit at your first opportunity. The private sector needs to own and operate it.

••• What Were We Thinking? (Part III): We ran into a local resident at a gathering recently, and he related to us the story of his visit, as a resident, to London’s finest hospital, which he described as high end. “Their best X-ray equipment is at least 30 years older than anything in the U.S. That’s their best. This is what socialized medicine is going to mean to us eventually.”

••• What Were We Thinking? (Part IV): Based on latest U.S. Census data, 49.2 percent of Americans benefit from at least one form of entitlement. Change!

I’m in a scary mood these days Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Two days before Halloween, and what’s the scariest thing at our house? My bad mood. I am currently struggling through my humor sixth lousy day in a row thanks to sleep deprivation, hormones and a bit of anxiety thrown in for funsies. Sunday morning was typical of the last week: I yelled at my kids on the way to church, at church, and after church, despite my numerous Hail Mary’s for patience, and then lit into to my husband for raking leaves without consulting me. Did someone just drop a house on my sister?

My biggest issue is the not sleeping. I chalk this up to my “advanced maternal age” and perhaps a reduction in my thyroid meds. Stress is also contributing to my vampire-like nights, as work and chauffeur duties have become overwhelming. I wake up at 3 a.m. and can’t stop worrying about the logistics of life as a working mom. Between teaching 10 hours a day and driving four kids all of over the city every evening, I barely remember to shower. Forget about good parenting. I’ve been so exhausted by 8 p.m. that I am incapable of helping with homework or bedtime. Truly frightening.

Yesterday my youngest laid this one on me: “I forgot my school folder because you weren’t here to remind me! All the other kids have mom-

mies who stay at home!” She even squeezed out a tear, the little devil. I’ve been back to work for three years now, so I can’t totally blame my job for recent grouchiness. I actually enjoy going to school every day, even if it’s just to have a space to myself that actually stays clean after I leave.

However, working with 175 teenagers is exhausting; lately I’ve had little left for my own kids. Talk about the walking dead.

Honestly, I’ve even reconsidered pharmaceutical assistance. A few years ago I tried Prozac to combat the moodiness, but I didn’t like the flat feeling. I wasn’t depressed, but I can’t say I was happy either. But maybe flat is better than evil.

The good part is that like a werewolf, my transformation is temporary. By next week, I’ll be back to myself again. The hormones will chill, I’ll be able to catch some z’s, and life will look brighter. I just have to figure out how to survive until then without my children or Doo shipping me off to the asylum. Although, after six days of acting like the Wicked Witch of The Neighborhood, a “facility” might be the perfect place to enjoy Halloween. Peace out.

“Who was it?”

By Nate Albin

One stormy fall evening just before Halloween, Nate, J.T, and Colin were having a sleep over at Nate’s house. After playing outside, they started to watch the Arizona State – Oregon game. As they got comfy, a large boom was at the window!

They ran quickly to Nate’s dad, pushing each other out of the way.

“Dad! Dad! We heard a huge noise outside!”

“Maybe it was the Headless Horseman,” Nate’s dad said with a deep smile. “Turn around.

Go back to bed. It’s all good.”

A little less rattled, the boys turned around and walked slowly back to bed. Lights out.

Comfy. Asleep.

CRACK! BOOM! SMASH! Awake suddenly, they ran quickly, again, to Nate’s dad, pushing each other, again, out of the way.

This time, Nate’s dad wasn’t there.

“The Horror” By S. Robert Darbro “There are monsters everywhere!” gasped Linda French, her timid left hand trembling at her throat as she peered out the living room window.

“Please don’t talk of the neighbors like that, sweetest,” offered her husband Edgar from behind his hunting catalog. A horrifying realization emerged slowly. “Wait,” he yelped snapping his head to glance at the wall clock. The hands of the timepiece were clawing downward like a gravedigger’s spade unearthing an unholy terror.

“Oh no! It’s 5:30 p.m.! I never made it to the store to buy the candy!” Hyperventilating, he glared at the catalog, silently blaming it for his dalliance. He leaped from his chair and dashed for his coat. “Perhaps if I hurry I can return before the -” Edgar’s shallow hopes were murdered by the cold fright of the doorbell. “It’s too late! We are surrounded!” Linda shrieked. She hid her petri-

“We must go see what that is!” Nate said.

“But it’s unsafe!” Colin said.

“We might have this chance only once. I say we go for it!” J.T. said.

They got three flashlights. And when they got outside they felt the gusts of wind push them backward. The rain was so strong it was hard to see. Luckily it was just howling wind and pounding rain. No thunder. No lightning. But if there was no thunder and no lightning, where did the ‘crack, boom and smash’ come from?

The boys shined their flashlights into each other’s faces, and without saying a word, they turned and went down the muddy, slippery, steep hill into the woods.

Clonk-idy. Clonk-idy. CLONK! “That might be a good sign,” Nate said very, very quietly.

“Let’s keep walking!” whispered Colin.

“Its 11:45!” said J.T., and the three of them turned around and started walking back up the fied eyes behind her elbow, refusing to look at the dreadfulness gathering out the window on their front step.

Beyond the painted glass of the front door, ominous half-sized silhouettes swayed impatiently. Edgar knew he could never make it to the store before this motley group would cast judgment. He momentarily considered abandoning Linda and fleeing to the neighbor’s backyard tree fort. The doorbell chimed a second time, a grim toll foretelling of the coming nightmare that would soon befall their yard. Outside the door, the silhouettes had doubled. A miniature fist rapped at the glass. “Trick-or-treat, Mr. and Mrs. French. We know you are in there,” called out a disembodied and sinister pre-pubescent voice.

“They know we are here!” whispered Linda hoarsely. She fell to her knees weeping. “The yolk never washes off!”

Edgar made for the pantry in a hysterical gal-

muddy, slippery and very steep hill.

Swoosh! Swoosh! SPLICE! The sword of the Headless Horseman brushed right past the tops of their heads.

Yikes!

For the minute that they had to think, they needed to remember what they’d heard about the Headless Horsemen. Think … think… think…

“Hey, guys! Remember the old Disney version?”

“Quick, tell us! We can’t maneuver much more!” Colin exclaimed.

“We have to cross the bridge!”

“The bridge is very, very, very far away. We can’t possibly make it in time!” J.T. screeched.

“We will make it if we go … now! Go now!”

Nate screamed.

After a trip back home, they went straight to sleep.

When they woke up, they found Nate’s dad in the kitchen, “Ok, Dad, we know you dressed up.”

“What are you boys talking about?” lop, falling over the end table and Linda’s crocheting basket. “Don’t quit on me now, woman!” screeched Edgar in an eruption of spittle. In the pantry he tore edibles from the shelf in madness. The doorbell rang for a third time. Time was running out. At length, his sweaty hands found a grotesquely enormous tub of peanut butter that Linda had insisted on buying at the wholesale grocery mart. He wrapped his arms tightly around it, clinging to it like a life preserver. ‘Ants on a Log’ would be his salvation.

Linda was in fetal position shaking from fright on the living room floor. “Get up and start cutting celery! Where’s the raisins?!?” screamed Edgar but it was already too late.

As morning broke on November first, the horror of ghostly toilet paper floated like phantom death shrouds among the terrible gore of grotesquely smashed eggs upon the edifice of the French’s house and their premature Christmas decorations.

Nov. 16. The first half of the program will feature a selection of favorite marches, two of which – scenes from the Louvre by Norman Dello Joio and American Salute

by Morton Gould – have composers that are celebrating their 100th birthday. A performance of The Rite of Spring, also celebrating its 100th birthday, will comprise the second half of the program.

The Rite of Spring made its scandalous premiere on May 29, 1913, at the Théatre des Champs-Elysées in Paris. The avant-garde nature of the work nearly caused a riot at the theater. The audience was bewildered by the outrageous costumes, strange choreography and bizarre story of pagan sacrifice. If that weren’t enough, the audience was truly tested by Stravinsky’s innovative and groundbreaking use of rhythm. In the 100 years since, its originality has influenced many composers, becoming a model for modern masters as well as one of the most recorded works in the classical repertoire.

Tickets start at $20 and may be purchased at the Palladium Box Office, online at www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org, or by phone at 843-3800. Student discounts are valid through college age.

TITLE SPONSOR

INDIANAPOLIS—October 16, 2013—Stephen J. Helmich, president, announces that Brother Ken Haders, C.S.C., has been named vice president for mission integration at Cathedral High School. As part of the leadership of the 95-year-old Indianapolis institution and a member of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Brother Haders will help reinforce and communicate Holy Cross values in the day-to-day life of the school.

COMING DECEMBER 13 - 22!

Cathedral High School was founded by the Brothers of Holy Cross in 1918, the religious order created by Blessed Father Basil Moreau. The Brothers of Holy Cross are the first order of teaching brothers to be established in the United States. In 1842, the Brothers began the University of Notre Dame, and have been teaching in schools across the country and across the world since that time. In 2011, Cathedral High School formally re-affiliated with the Brothers of Holy Cross. Cathedral is one of 16 Holy Cross high schools in the United States.

NOVEMBER 1 - 17, 2013 To purchase tickets online, please visit our website: www.actorstheatreofindiana.org or by phone, 317.843.3800

For the 17 years prior to his coming to Cathedral, Brother Ken Haders was president of Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, Ohio. He held the same position at Holy Trinity High School in Chicago. Brother Ken is a member of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Midwest Province of Brothers. He has been provincial counselor with the Congregation, chief financial officer, delegate to the general chapter in Rome, and moderator of the district chapter in Ghana. Brother Ken earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from the University of Notre Dame in addition to a master’s in social administration from Case-Western Reserve University.

Expert tricks, tips for costumes Commentary by Jodi Morgan

As the head of special effects makeup at Indy Scream Park, I turn regular people into creepy characters like zombies, Halloween clowns and even zombie clowns throughout the Halloween season. In my position, I tend to get a lot of questions from family and friends about how to ensure a victory at their next costume party.

I thought I would share some tricks for fun costume and makeup ideas. Here are some of my most frequently asked questions: How did you learn how to do scary makeup?

I took some stage makeup classes when I was at Purdue University and have taken a few special effects makeup classes, but you can learn a lot of fun makeup tricks on the Internet.

There are tons of tutorials on YouTube.

Where do you buy Halloween makeup?

We use professional products at Indy Scream Park, but I also really like Party City. They have a huge range of reasonably priced products and makeup kits that are available year-round. You can also use regular street makeup in creative ways. There are lots of techniques that use random household products like Knox Gelatin and Elmer’s Glue.

What kinds of makeup tools are best?

We use a lot of brushes of all sizes for our makeup - from paint brushes to fine-tipped artist brushes - but we also use basic makeup wedges

and cotton swabs.

Where is the best place to buy Halloween costumes?

Again, Party City has a huge selection of ready-made costumes, but there are great ideas on the Internet. I love the website www.spoonful.com. They have lots of great costume ideas, including punny costumes. My favorite this year?

Cover yourself with foliage from the dollar store, add a string of pearls and a name tag that says, “My Name is Barbara” and you have … wait for it … Barbara Bush.

How long does it take to do Halloween makeup?

It can take as long as you want or need. At Indy Scream Park, our team has to make up 150 actors in two and a half hours. We have three to five minutes on average for each person. Don’t be afraid to wipe it off and start over if you don’t like how it looks. Baby wipes are awesome for taking off makeup. As I always tell my makeup students, start with less. You can always add more but it is really hard to take makeup away after it is applied.

I hope that I gave you some good ideas. Have a fun, safe, amazing Halloween!

Jodi Morgan is head of special effects makeup at Indy Scream Park, 5211 S. New Columbus Rd., Anderson.

GOTR teaches life skills to girls in third through eighth grade with interactive lessons and running games.

“Girls on the Run is not a running program, it’s an international program teaching confidence and self-esteem. Girls all come together and learn how to deal with all sorts of life issues, including peer pressure, learning to be confident and a whole host of life’s lessons,” Laura Musall, member of GTOR board of directors in Hamilton County said.

“The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness,” said Hollie Nicholson, co-founder of GOTR Hamilton County and 5K run director. “That accomplishment comes in all flavors and everyone who participates - whether they run, walk, hop, skip or cartwheel across the finish line - is to be honored and congratulated.”

Top Investor threats list expanded news@currentinwestfield.com

Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson has expanded the annual listing of nefarious financial products, practices finances and services that threaten to trap unsuspecting investors to include lurking dangers facing small business owners.

“With the delayed rollout of rules required by the JOBS Act, investors and small business owners alike must be on heightened alert for questionable Lawson investment offers and services,” Lawson stated.

Lawson said she is worried the recent lifting of an 80-year-old ban on the advertising of private offerings, mandated by the JOBS Act, will lead to greater abuse by unscrupulous promoters. The implementation of the JOBS Act also has created opportunities for unregulated third parties to provide ancillary services.

“Whether you are using a crowdfunding portal or an accredited investor aggregator, it is important to do your due diligence and to understand that use of an unregulated third party to provide such services does not change your obligations under federal and state securities laws,” Lawson stated. “Investors are not alone in their potential to be scammed. Using a fraudulent portal means both the business and the investor stand to lose.”

Know more – The 2013 list of the Top 10 financial products and practices that threaten to trap unwary investors and small business owners include: Persistent threats - private offerings, real estate investment schemes, high-yield investment and Ponzi schemes, affinity fraud, scam artists using self-directed IRAs to mask fraud, and risky oil and gas drilling programs; New investor threats – proxy trading accounts and digital currency; and New small business threats – capitalraising pitfalls and unregulated third-party service providers.

Source: North American Securities Administrators Association Enforcement Section

Lawson reminded investors to independently verify any investment opportunity as well as the background of the person and company offering the investment. The Secretary of State’s Securities Division provides detailed background information about those who sell securities or give investment advice, and about the products being offered.

“You wouldn’t trust your health to an unlicensed doctor, so why jeopardize your financial health by trusting your hard-earned money to an unlicensed broker or investment adviser?”

Lawson stated.

We have a variety of services and packages that have been specifically tailored to brides and wedding parties, and while we’d love to have you in our salon, we can also pack up our tools and come to you for all of your wedding day desires.

COLORS OF FALL Normally your fall wardrobe may consist of conventional autumn hues, chocolate and steel gray, but why not spice it up this season?

Each of the stylists on our special occasion team are trained in the art of updo’s and styling. They attend classes in and out of the salon to stay on top of the latest trends in wedding hair and makeup.

According to fashiontribes.typepad.com, you should think of colors such as blue iris or royal lilac when adding pieces to your autumn wardrobe. Other colors that can add some punch are a deep oxblood red and green.

Additionally, Salon 01 is different than most other salons because we have enough members on our team to accommodate wedding parties of any size.

Our stylists and estheticians know how important it is for everything to be flawless on your wedding day, so achieving the perfect look for you is not something we want to leave until the last minute. For this reason, every bride who chooses our salon for their wedding can receive both a hair and a makeup trial prior to their wedding day.

Make sure you are also updating your accessory wardrobe. Accessories are another great way to add color to your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Try incorporating bracelets or earrings in a bright turquoise blue. Copper and Gold are also always a sure bet.

Salon 01 does nearly 100 weddings per year, and from this experience, we have come to understand several things. For instance, an hour of peace on the massage table for the mother of the bride (AKA an hour without her daughter’s day-of demands for crisis control) really does make a difference.

Also, you will realize that, yes, the groom’s hair will need a touch-up after he Also, the groom's hair may need a touchup after he tries to save some cash by going elsewhere for a really cheap haircut, but got what he paid for. This is the simple stuff that Salon 01 can take care of so you don’t have to.

WEAR IT: NUDE NAILS Nude colored nails are a great way to look polished without being overdone. We recommend finding a color that is slightly darker than your natural skin tone. Before you start, be sure that any leftover polish has been removed so you have a nice, clean slate. Prep the surrounding nail area with a cuticle cream to clear up unwanted hangnails, then swipe clean with a touch of nail polish remover. File nails in a “squoval” shape; meaning square with rounded corners. Be sure to use a base coat and top coat to get longer lasting wear. Rather not mess around with all the prep? Schedule your appointment for a manicure at Salon 01. Choose from our regular natural nail manicures or a Shellac manicure with gel polish that lasts up to 2 weeks with no chipping!

Schedule your consultation now, or contact our talented Bridal Director, Sarah, at bridal@salon01.com for more information.

Keep fresh this fall! And, of course, nothing enhances your wardrobe like a fresh haircut and dimensional color!

Toenail Fungus – seek treatment before it spreads!

Medical laser for nail disease After

Replacing kitchen peninsula Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing Kitchen: This home is located in the College Park addition on the northwest side of Indianapolis. Their 1970’s kitchen lacked the functionality modern Blueprint for families are looking for improvement these days. After four and a half years of living with outdated appliances and poor flow, the owners were ready to remodel. “The kitchen was very outdated, and the peninsula cut things off,” stated the homeowner. “There was very little cabinetry storage.”

Design Phase: The design team was focused on functionality. The designer stated, “Center islands are preferred now over peninsulas, as they allow for movement throughout the space rather than pooling people into one area. Storage is also a large consideration. Filling available space with well-designed cabinetry easily increases storage capacity.”

New Island: The new island needed to compliment the footprint of the original long and narrow kitchen space. By curving the end of the island where the kitchen table was previously located, the homeowners were able to have both an eat-in kitchen and a large work area. Extending the island also added more base cabinetry

for their storage needs.

Perimeter Cabinets: Salvaging the original perimeter cabinets required some creativity, as the specifications for modern appliances have changed over the last 40 years. The trim carpenter modified the cabinet under the new cooktop to fit a 27-inch wall oven. The original cabinets were painted and updated hardware was installed. The desk area was replaced with the refrigerator and surrounding cabinetry. According to the homeowner, “The desk area trapped all of our mail and junk. I really like all of the new storage space.”

Final Result: New appliances, a striking glass tile backsplash, granite countertops and undercabinet lighting provide the finishing touches for this newly configured kitchen. Like many other homeowners, it is the little things that make these homeowners the happiest. “My favorite part is the outlet at the end of the island. Being able to have that extra prep space in the kitchen has made using my kitchen so much more enjoyable.”

One of those days?

Help is just around the corner.
