Fishers FOP hosts cornhole tournament

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com The Fishers Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 199 will host its fundraiser fourth annual cornhole tournament at 11 a.m.

Sept. 8 at the Harley Davidson of Indianapolis, 12400 Reynolds Dr. The 64-team, double-elimination fundraiser will begin at noon. Cash prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place.

There will be a kids area with bounce houses, a live band, a silent auction, hair braiding, face painting and food and drink tickets. Bier Brewery will sell drinks.

J.D. Floyd, president of the Fishers FOP Lodge, said proceeds will benefit five local causes, including Riley Children’s Hospital to help give back to an organization that once helped the lodge.

“The secretary of our lodge, Andy Burks, his son was diagnosed with brain cancer a couple years ago,” Floyd said. “They spent a lot of time at Riley, and it was a long, drawn-out fight to try and beat this cancer.

Lodge treasurer Andy Burks, right,and his son Lane and his wife Cheri play cornhole at a past fundraiser. (Submitted photo)

Riley did a magnificent job with Hunter and was able to remove the cancer. He’s now in remission and he’s thriving.”

Proceeds also will help fund a high school scholarship in memory of Ron Shepard, a fallen Fishers police officer; the Pack the Cruiser Food Drive, FPD Cops and Kids, and the Peyton Riekhof Foundation, an organization that brings awareness to mental health issues and provides resources for children and parents.

Tournament registration is $75 per team. To register, visit fop199.org/ events/2018-cornhole-tournament/ cornhole-registration/.

Apple Store opens Sept. 1

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com The Apple Store, a beloved fall favorite at Conner Prairie, will open Sept. 1. The store will sell a variety of fall treats, fall including salted caramel apples, toffee apples, cider slushies, apple butter, pies, apple and pumpkin donuts and fresh-from-the-orchard apples.

“All of our apples come from Garwood Orchards in LaPorte. We’re once again offering our caramel apples and caramel apples rolled in nuts,” said Becky Brammer, the store’s vice president. “We also have caramel apples we dip in chocolate and toffee pieces. We always have our gourmet apples. We’ll offer a new apple dipped in caramel, then dipped in chocolate and rolled in broken pretzel pieces. We also have $1 specialties.”

The Apple Store also offers specialty food items like apple butter, jam and baking mixes.

“We’re trying to go a little more Indiana and local with our food items this year,” Brammer said. “We’re paying more attention to where our food products come from because we are an Indiana-based group.”

The Conner Prairie Alliance manages the

store. The seasonal stand is its primary fundraiser. Proceeds support the mission and programs of Conner Prairie.

In 2017, the store sold more than 1,000 gallons of cider, 6,220 plain caramel apples, 4,330 dozen donuts and 13,000 slushies.

“We’ve grown every year,” Brammer said.

“As the economy grows, attendance goes up. Of course, you don’t have to go to the museum to visit the store.”

The store is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, from Sept. 1 through Oct. 31. During the Headless Horseman (Oct. 27-28) event, the store is open until 9 p.m. Admission to Conner Prairie is not required to enter the Apple Store.

Safety Day to educate public

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com Fishers Fire and Emergency Services and St. Vincent Fishers Hospital are event partnering for a Sept. 8 Safety Day, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept.

8 at St. Vincent. A free event, Safety Day began 26 years ago on fire safety but now focuses on all aspects of safety, according to Fishers Fire Dept. Capt. John Mehling.

The Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate/Junior High School choir will perform the national anthem, followed by opening remarks by Mayor Scott Fadness. A St. Vincent StatFlight helicopter also will make an appearance. At 10:30 a.m., the Fishers Junior High Strings will perform.

Safety demonstrations will be conducted every 30 minutes throughout the day. Demonstrations include The Kasey Program, where a black Labrador named Kasey helps teach children fire safety. St. Vincent will do a presentation on CPR and FFD will do a demonstration on vehicle extrication.

“The best injury is the one that never happens,” Mehling said. “If we can prevent those things from happening, we’re going to save you a whole lot of money, whether it’s from having to get rides to your doctor’s appointments or medical costs or insurance rates going up or whatever else. The primary thing is that we want to keep you healthy. It’s all about keeping the whole community healthy.”

Safety Day booths will feature topics on kitchen safety, sports safety, drone safety,

“It is unique in the way it helps support the business community along the (Ind.) 37 corridor,” said Troy Woodruff, CEO/president for RQAW. “There’s a pot of marketing dollars there and a plan is being formulated to focus specifically on how to make people get to the businesses, have as healthy of a business community we can possibly keep today, tomorrow, during construction and for the future thereafter. Fishers and Hamilton County have both said that the business community is important enough that we want to invest additional dollars to let people know how to get to these businesses and encourage how to support businesses during construction.”

o b s e r v ation Guiding lights

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker For centuries, sailors have trusted the stars to guide. Alas, the Polaris is often obscured by weather. Then these dutiful mariners count on experience and faith to help them stay the course. As overcast days persist, the risk of drifting off course increases — along with growing anxiety in the ranks.

Teams form and follow direct interface.

Now, with the advent of new technologies, we have become increasingly dependent on the independence provided by them. As seamen rely upon satellites, nearly all of us find modern communication devices imperative. Calls, emails, texts and other services for instant communiqué leave us with both significant freedom and, ironically, its corresponding reduction.

How do we balance the human need for collaboration with our need for autonomy?

Can we spend the bulk of our time away from the office while still mentoring and supporting those we work with daily?

Perhaps the same is true with our relationships, families and communities. Are there times when it is wrong to just phone it in?

Or, do we simply need to find new ways to accommodate for expanding technologies to substitute for face time?

Recently, a community leader shared his frustration that during his extensive travel to build his organization, productivity among his team diminished. One wonders if the young and inexperienced managers might simply be seeking a sighting. Is it possible that a directive by email lacks a required nuance to inspire? Would seeing the boss, even virtually, be enough encouragement? Like sailors waiting for a break in the clouds to show the path, could they be somewhat adrift looking for the sky? We don’t require much but do require some.

Friends, the unthinkable has happened. I am (gulp) no longer (long, dramatic pause) a dance mom (cue tears).

Our daughter informed us humor last week that she wanted to quit competitive dancing.

After five years of sequined booty shorts, Kardashian faux lashes and jazz hands out the wazoo, she is hanging up her tap shoes.

Now a freshman in high school, she wants more time for studying, socializing and work.

I mean, I get it. Dance takes enormous commitment and sacrifice, both from the dancer and the parent. I’ve lost track of how many days I’ve spent at various performing arts centers watching hundreds of routines to see my baby on stage for literally three minutes. And don’t get me started on the cost! Seriously, don’t, because I think I still owe from last year. Heck, on some level, I even believe this was the right call.

But when she read the text to her coaches explaining her decision, I cried. Partly from pride – the writer in me couldn’t help but notice her elegant and mature use of language – but mostly because I realized that her quitting meant that so was I. No more hanging with fellow dance moms at conventions; no more secretly judging reprehensible costume choices; no more complaining about the weekend-long competitions, even though I actually looked forward to the multiple Steak ‘n Shake runs and book-reading opportunities. The truth is that I loved being a dance mom and wasn’t prepared for that part of my life to end.

Perhaps more importantly, what nonsense am I supposed to write about now?

Peace out.

Surveys show that most people hate at least one part of their body. I’m not happy with my ears, for example. I humor think they stick out more than they should. My wife says I’m crazy, and to be that obsessed with my own looks makes me appear elfish. I’m hoping she meant selfish.

While looking in the mirror over the weekend, I saw a chin I had not noticed before.

I was happy with the two I already had.

Fortunately, that morning I saw something advertised on TV that gave me hope. Called The Miracle Neck Slimmer, it’s a device they claim was created by a world-renowned physiotherapist. I was all ears.

The manufacturer guarantees a 68 percent reduction in neck wrinkles. I have achieved similar results by slinging my head back and always looking straight up at the ceiling. The results are temporary, of course, and I have slammed into several doors, but it does work. Well, I think it works. It’s hard to look in the mirror in that position.

The Miracle Neck Slimmer looks like one of those slap-and-chop thingies you pound with the palm of your hand to pulverize a Vidalia onion. You place the apparatus under your chin, then bob your head up and down like common poultry. Springs in the device create tension. It’s like your neck and chin are getting a good workout on a tiny StairMaster. You can see why I was hooked.

A DVD gives you directions on how to properly jog your skull to-and-fro, like you were auditioning to be a bobblehead. They also throw in an accelerator cream. It’s an anti-aging concoction, but it could be a stimulant to make your head go faster.

They offer you a free second Miracle Neck Slimmer, saying it would be an excellent gift to give your spouse. Gee, what could go wrong there? “Mary Ellen, you know those luscious little neck wrinkles you have? Well, for just $19.95 plus shipping and handling…”

That would make it easier for me to see my extra chins because I’d have my head handed to me.

Race to fundraise for Parkinson’s disease

The Choose to Move race founding family, from left, Don Waterman, Lindsay Waterman, Christy Waterman, Eric Cunningham, Addie Cunningham, Kate Lineback and Debbie Waterman. (Submitted photo)

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com The Indiana Parkinson Foundation is hosting the Choose to Move event 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk Sept. 15 at Witten Park, 13256 Saxony Blvd. The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a celebration at the finish line until noon.

The after-race celebration includes a band, snacks, a kids zone with carnival games and more.

All proceeds benefit the Indiana Parkinson Foundation and one of its main initiatives, The Climb exercise program, which provides physical exercise and activities to improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s disease. Some of the programs available to The Climb members are BIG Movement classes, PWR! classes, Postural Therapy and Balance classes, yoga, dance, massage therapy, speech therapy and weight training.

Indiana Parkinson Foundation Program Director Kim Williams said because people with Parkinson’s struggle with rigidity, The Climb classes helps loosen muscles to make movement easier. She said the classes not only help physically but also emotionally and mentally.

“With a diagnosis like Parkinson’s, it tends to be a very isolating disease,” Williams said. “So, I think that being involved with a program like The Climb, being in that positive environment versus being isolated and becoming depressed, it brings people together. They are dealing with the same disease, and it forms a family and a community of people that can support one another.”

Registration is $35 for the 5K run and $30 for the 1-mile walk. To sign up for the Choose to Move race or to donate to the Indiana Parkinson Foundation, visit runsignup.com/Race/IN/Fishers/ChooseToMoveRace.

dispatches Music and menu choices – It’s no secret that restaurants use colors, lighting and music to influence diner’s food choices.

Now a study suggests that theory may be fact. The study analyzed customers’ food choices during periods of loud, upbeat music and during periods of quiet music.

When the music was quiet, customers made healthier menu choices than when the music was loud. The takeaway is that you should focus on the healthy choices regardless of the noise level.

Source: Journal of the Academy of Marketing Sciences Curb nighttime snacking – Late-night munchies can sabotage your efforts to lose weight, or even to remain healthy. To help prevent the evening snack urges, try eating a high-protein dinner. Avoid high-carb foods like pasta and potatoes late in the day.

They stimulate insulin production and can make you feel hungry two hours later.

Carmel Symphony Orchestra post proved to be perfect fit for Davis

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Alan Davis figured his Carmel Symphony Orchestra post was a good place to start as he moved from the museum MUSIC field to the orchestra world.

“I thought, ‘I’ll be here two or three years and I’ll take that leap to a larger orchestra,’” Davis said.

Although he has had those opportunities, Davis never saw a reason to leave.

“Why would I ever leave Carmel with the support I get from everybody and The Palladium?” Davis said. “The job I thought would be a temporary stepping stone turned out to be a dream job. I loved every minute of it.”

Davis, who announced his retirement earlier this year, spent 18 years as CSO’s president and chief executive officer. Davis, 69, became executive consultant when Kimberly Dimond took over as executive director July 16. Davis, who will step down from that position Sept. 28, is proud of his long list of achievements.

“I’m proud the growth the organization has experienced over those 18 years,” Davis said. “We went from a small community orchestra playing in high schools and churches with a very small budget to the major regional orchestra we are today playing in The Palladium. The quality has grown over those 18 years. I wasn’t music director but I have a lot of pride in supporting that artistic growth of the orchestra. We’re much more visible now, I’m proud of that.

We’ve expanded our educational offerings for kids and we’re going to do that again this year coming up.”

Davis said he is proud of the staff over the years, particularly Vice President and General Manager Denise Ryan.

“She’s been my right and left hand,” Davis said.

On a personal note, Davis is grateful for of all the friends he has made in the community.

“As I tell people, although I might sleep in Speedway, I really feel like I reside in Carmel,” Davis said. “I’ve made countless friends over the years. Those are things I’ll take

with me when I retire, all those friendships, the mayor, the city council, the township government, all of our donors and patrons.

They’ve all become personal friends.”

Larry Lawhead, a longtime CSO board member whose term as chairman ended June 30, praised Davis for his role in CSO’s development.

“He’s a rare administrator who combined his Ph.D. musical training with administration balance,” Lawhead said.

Davis, a 1967 Speedway High School graduate, returned to Indianapolis from Missouri in 1989, serving as a director of public programs for the Indianapolis Museum of

Art. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Indiana University’s music school. He received a doctorate in musical arts from Arizona State.

“I want to travel some more,” Davis said of his future plans. “I’d love to go back to Italy. I’ve not seen Austria or parts of Germany, especially since the reunification of Germany. I’d like to do a little more traveling in Southeast Asia.”

Frequently, Davis takes his vacation to visit a close friend in Thailand.

“He gets me a condo in the building on the beach next to his place,” Davis said.

“My condo costs me about $275 for three weeks. I couldn’t stay downtown Indianapolis for a weekend for that. I love the beach.

I sit on the beach and listen to audiobooks on my iPod.” Davis, who started playing the organ when he was 12, has been a church musician most of his life. For the past 27 years, he has been the minister of music and worship at Westview Christian Church in Indianapolis.

Davis said he still plans to attend as many CSO concerts as he can.

“My heart will always be with this symphony,” Davis said. “You can’t give 18 years of your life into something and just walk away and not care what happens.”

Murray’s New Worlds postponed editorial@youarecurrent.com Because of a conflict in the artists’ schedules, The Palladium performance of New Worlds: Bill Murray, Jan Vogler & Friends, which had been scheduled for Oct. 5 at the Carmel venue, has been postponed.

“Last year, we had more mooncakes than we had any previous year and they went faster than any previous year. We gave away all 1,500 mooncakes. This year, we are ordering 2,000,” Kirkwood said. “It’s while supplies last, so people can reserve the mooncakes if you register (for a free ticket) on Eventbrite.”

The sixth festival is set from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Indiana Design Center, 200 S. Range Line Rd. The event is held in conjunction with the Carmel Arts & Design District Gallery Walk.

Pure Eatery

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8235 E. 116th St., Suite 245, Fishers What to get: Marinated beef tips Price: $16.95 Anna’s take: Pure Eatery’s marinated beef tips are the embodiment of comfort food.

The relatively new menu item features beef tenderloin tips, pickled banana peppers and broccoli atop a bed of rice tossed in a pepper cream sauce. I opted for asparagus instead of broccoli. The hearty meal is very filling, and the sauce has a slight kick to it.

The tenderness of the meat counteracts the crispness of the veggies and the kick of the peppery cream-based sauce.

Another option Pure Eatery presented me was its blackened tilapia over a bed of pearled Israeli couscous tossed in pesto and sautéed squash and zucchini for $13.95. Talk about portion sizes. For the healthier diners out there, this meal would be an excellent option with its giant slab of tilapia serving up a hefty amount of protein. The pesto add-

ed a nice nutty flavor but didn’t saturate the dish. Although the blackening spices coat the flaky white fish, the dish is not spicy.

Save for a few brunch items, Pure Eatery cooks all of its menu items in olive oil instead of butter as a healthier option. Many of the menu items come with the diner’s choice of side, and all of Pure Eatery’s salad dressings are gluten-free.

Pure Eatery also has locations in Fountain Square in Indianapolis and Lafayette.

Suggested pairings: Pair the marinated beef tips with a Taxman Brewing Co. Deduction beer, an Ironstone Pinot Noir or a Dark and Stormy cocktail. Pair the blackened tilapia with Fountain Square Brewery hefeweizen, a Sauvignon blanc from 13 Degrees Celsius or a basil lemonade Long Island.

Behind bars: Pachangarita Get it at Sun King Spirits, Carmel Ingredients: 144 oz. limeade, 120 oz. water, 96 oz. tequila, 144 oz. soda water, 144 oz. Sun King Pachanga lager Directions: Pour ingredients into a slushie machine and wait 25 to 30 minutes. Once ingredients have frozen, pour into a glass rimmed with salt and garnish with a lime.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A beer festival featuring only firkins will be the first of its kind in Indiana when Union Brewing Co., 622 S. Range Line Rd. Suite Q, hosts the event event from 1:30 to 5 p.m.

Sept. 1.

Firkins are beers fermented in casks and served out of the cask. Approximately 10 Indiana breweries will attend the indoor/outdoor event and offer 25 to 30 beers out of 9-gallon casks.

Knepp “This is the first event of its kind in the state, a cask ale-only festival,” said Justin Knepp, founder of Indiana on Tap, which is hosting the festival with Union Brewing Co. “All these other festivals serve cold beer out of kegs, but (with firkins) the beer is fermented in these casks. It’s the craftiest of craft beer in the world, and as much as you try, no two cask beers will be the same due to the fermentation process.”

All of Union Brewing Co.’s beers are cask beers. Some of the other participating breweries have brewed firkins before, but many will be doing so for the first time.

“For the craft beer fans out there, it truly is utterly neat,” Knepp said. “It’s already what makes Union Brewing Co. different. There’s really not many cask ale-only festivals anywhere in the U.S.” Only 225, $40 tickets are available for the comparatively small event. For more, visit carmelfirkinfest.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: West Carmel basement transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

After

Before

The goal was to create a space that the homeowners could use to entertain family and friends by adding defined spaces and storage.

1. The biggest transformation came from adding a wet bar and peninsula for seating. The new cabinetry added plenty of storage space.

2. In addition to the bar seating, bench seating also was added around the pool table near the bar area. Bench seating is a perfect hidden storage solution.

3. A theater room was created by adding a wall and a doorway with a sliding barn door. This makes it easy to close off the theater room for privacy or leave it open to the rest of the basement.

4. An entertainment system was added, creating convenient storage for the sound system, game consoles and controllers.

5. Additionally, new luxury vinyl tile replaced the carpet throughout the basement.

Background info: This home in the Long Ridge West neighborhood of West Carmel doesn’t appear to need much remodeling. The reason the homeowners were looking to remodel was not because the space was outdated but because it didn’t function well for them.

Before problems The original basement was underutilized because it lacked defined spaces and storage solutions. The layout of the space didn’t work for how the homeowners wanted to use it. The original basement used basic materials that didn’t fit the owners’ personal style.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

To infinitives and beyond Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Babylon Fortress and Church of St. George. (Photo by Don Knebel

Churches amid the fortress Commentary by Don Knebel An area of modern Cairo contains what is said to be the best surviving remains of a Roman fortress. The fortress, which fell to the Muslims, is now at the travel heart of Christian Cairo.

In the sixth century B.C., the Persians, then in control of Egypt, erected a fortress just east of the Nile River near where an ancient canal led to the Red Sea. The fortress marked the dividing line between Lower (northern) and Middle Egypt, where boats on the Nile paid tolls for transferring from one region to the other. A town developed around the fortress, called “Babylon,” for reasons that are not entirely clear. When the Romans gained control of the area in about 30 B.C., they recognized the strategic importance of Babylon and built an expansive brick and stone fortress near the river, featuring multiple bastions around the perimeter. The fortress was connected to the Nile by a drawbridge supported between two circular towers, each 108 feet in diameter. Babylon was later as-

sociated with the journey of Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus to Egypt to escape King Herod and became the seat of a Christian bishop.

In 640 A.D., Christian defenders of the Babylon Fortress held out for six months before being captured by Muslim invaders.

After the Muslims gained control of Egypt, they allowed Christians to build churches within the fortress walls. The famous “Hanging Church,” built in the seventh century, is suspended between the south gate towers of the fortress. The circular Church of St. George was built in the 10th century over the foundation of the northern bridge tower. Six other churches, a convent and the Coptic Museum are all now within the perimeter of the former fortress, designated “Coptic Cairo” for the Egyptian Christians who still worship in this area.

When I started working at a new company, I was disappointed to learn that an “enterprise” account had grammar guy absolutely nothing to do with spaceships.

Instead, enterprise accounts are the big fish your team reels in so that your proverbial corporate boat stays afloat.

I hate to critique with Captain Kirk, but when he utters, “to boldly go where no man has gone before,” he’s technically breaking a grammar rule.

To boldly go” is an example of a split infinitive. Up until now, the only thing I was worried about splitting was my pants. So, what’s an infinitive, anyway?

An infinitive is almost always a two-word verb phrase with the word “to” in front of the verb. Examples of infinitives include to sneeze, to cry, to dance and to fail.

A split infinitive occurs when you put an adverb between “to” and the verb. It’s like the adverb is rudely cutting in on you and your date at the prom, which makes you want to take the adverb out to the parking lot and punch it in the throat. Examples of split infinitives include to loudly sneeze, to

softly cry, to confidently dance and to utterly fail.

So, what’s the big deal? Are split infinitives a definitive no-no in English? Not necessarily.

The anti-split infinitive movement grew from a handful of prominent English grammarians in the 18th and 19th centuries who had nothing better to do than to try to bend popular opinions on English grammar rules to those of Latin. By now, these grammarians are all dead, so they don’t get a say anymore.

With that said, it’s probably a good idea to avoid split infinitives in your formal writing; many still view split infinitives as at least quasi-incorrect grammar usage. But, could you imagine the introduction of a classic show like “Star Trek” where Kirk says “...to go boldly where no man has gone before”?

Pop (and nerd) culture just wouldn’t be the same. I’ll split with the grammar snobs and cling on to the Trekkies on this one.
