A pickleball court is the same size as a doubles badminton court. Four courts wil be added to Cyntheanne Park. (Submitted photo)

Pickleball coming to Cyntheanne Park 1h 1TcW CPh[^a “ beth@youarecurrent.com

Pickleball, North America’s fastest growing sport, is coming to Cyntheanne Park with courts opening in early summer.

RECREATION Pickleball is an all-ages recreational paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong. Players need a pickleball racket, which is smaller than a tennis racket and longer than a ping pong paddle. The typically yellow or white plastic, hollow ball has holes throughout and travels at one-third the speed of a tennis ball. Attire is anything comfortable; tennisstyle dress is common.

The game originated in 1965. Three dads, Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum, from Bainbridge Island, near the state of Washington are credited for creating the game to help fend off their kids’ summertime boredom and provide a game that could be enjoyed by all family members. “We were looking for something new and exciting to bring to our community,� said Matt Walker, operations and administration manager for the Fishers Parks and Recreation department. “We want to bring new things to the community, and the pickleball courts will create a destination amenity in Cyntheanne Park.�

A pickleball court is the same size as a doubles badminton court, measuring 20x44 feet, and the net height is 34 inches in the middle. Court markings are similar to those of a tennis court. Pickleball courts are located in all 50 states.

Four dedicated pickleball courts, connecting sidewalks and new plantings including trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials will be added to Cyntheanne Park. “Fishers has a pretty large 50 and better community,� said Walker. “We wanted something new for those residents.

There’s been a real demand for it.�

The city is hoping for final approval by the end of March, with a ground breaking in April. “The concrete has to cure for 30 days before paint can be applied, so there is a little delay,� he said.

Walker hopes to create a training program through the parks department. “Anybody and everybody can play it,� he said. Go to www.usapa.org for rules of the game.

Accounts of the origin of the name vary. According to McCallum, the game was named after the Pritchard’s dog, Pickles, but Joan Pritchard, Joel’s wife, explained that she called it pickleball because the combination of sports reminded her of a pickle boat crew, a crew consisting of the leftover crew of oarsmen.

Lts. Harding and Mehling recognized news@youarecurrent.com Lt. Joe Harding and Lt. Josh Mehling from Fishers Department of Fire and Emergency Services were presented the St.Vincent Hospital Angel Medic Award ACHIEVEMENT during a dinner ceremony on March 3. These two paramedics were recognized for their work in bringing and developing community paramedicine to the City of Fishers called, WeCare.

WeCare is the cornerstone project for the Protecting the Heart of Fishers initiative. Through cardiac care hospitals, patients are voluntarily referred to this program for health care follow up and education. This program is designed to assist patients that don't qualify for home health care. In addition, the department offers home safety checks and blood pressure monitoring. Nationwide, one in ten people who go into cardiac arrest survive. In Fishers, one in three survive.

Children learn more by what they can observe in life Commentary by Michael VandenBerg "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6 Teen violence, high school shootings, gangs, radicalization of our youth....

The headlines jolt our consciousness. The question is always why? Someone who knows them gains the lights of the FAITH camera and proclaims they just don't understand how this good kid could go so wrong. What's the new workable solution?

Maybe the solution is not new at all but is 3,000 years old and found in the wise sayings of King Solomon. Solomon wrote to give wise instruction. If followed, it could lead to a life of health that was spiritual, emotional and at times physical. Solomon's headline solution was to be attentive in how we train our children. More than just formal education, Solomon is saying that parents need to be very deliberate about whom, and what teaches their children.

It is not just book knowledge that our children learn, it is how do mom and dad interact that teaches them how they should act as a spouse.

It is how parents argue, that teaches them how

they should resolve differences. It is how much time they spend with their child that teaches how valued they are. It is how they are supervised that teaches the value of discipline (an ordered life with purpose) which is the necessity of a successful navigation of life in a society governed by laws and not simply by our wants and desires.

Everything we do, the people we associate with, the things we value, our outlook toward society, are all observed and passed down to our children. If you want your child to be productive, independent, compassionate and loving, surround them abundantly with people who are all of those things and when they get older, they too will value them and live that kind of life.

We learn more by what we observe than what we read so make sure your children catches you being the kind of person you want them to be.

Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for over 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org

Lawrence North teacher, junior seek to honor D-Day veteran 1h <PaZ 0\Qa^VX Â&#x201C; mark@youarecurrent.com Lawrence North High School junior Nicole Cordesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest in World War II has been driven by two distinct influences.

Her Indian Creek ElemenCOVER STORY tary fifth-grade teacher Steve Hardwick wrote a book titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duty, Honor, Country: The Memories of Those Who Were There.â&#x20AC;? Each year, Hardwick puts on a USO show for WWII veterans to enjoy.

Cordes took part as a fifth-grader and again last summer, playing the part of Mary Livingston, Bennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio partner and wife, from the Jack Benny Program. She plans to continue to participate.

Secondly, her late grandfather, Ralph Simmons, served in the Navy during WWII. Cordes listened to his stories many times but never grew tired of them. Simmons, who died in 2011, was stationed on the shores of Hiroshima in Japan Lawrence North teacher Rachel Couch and Cordes were selected to participate in Normandy: Sacrifice for Freedom Albert H. Small Student and Teacher Institute in France, by National History Day, a nonprofit organization. The trip is June 20 to July 2, with the first five days in Washington, D.C., before heading to France. The duo is one of 15 teacher-student teams selected across the nation and the only one from Indiana.

The project is to research a Hoosier veteran buried at the American Cemetery, who died as part of the D-Day invasion.

Couch and Cordes selected John J. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Callahan, a veteran from Indianapolis, and are putting together a website and profile of his life.

They began with very little information outside of his service, his rank and when he died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to put a face on the person and show that he had a life before his sacrifice for freedom,â&#x20AC;? Couch said.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Callahan, a private in the U.S. Army, was a member of the 501st Parachute Regiment with the 101st Airborne Division. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Callahan was shot down as he was parachuting, according to their research. They are not certain of his age when he died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a fireman, he only had two years of high school and he was single,â&#x20AC;? Cordes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted to serve our city by being a fireman and

then he served our country.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Callahanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father died before the war. His mother died in 1946. So far, they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found any living relatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to find out what their life was like before the war,â&#x20AC;? Couch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to prepare a eulogy, and when we get to Normandy we will honor that person. I love studying World War II. It seemed like an awesome experience, getting to do that prep work beforehand.â&#x20AC;?

Before leaving for Normandy, the teachers and students will spend time in Washington, D.C., learning about the War Memorials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I felt like,â&#x20AC;? Couch said.

In her application, Couch said she explained how the experience would benefit her classroom.

Cordes wrote an essay about why she wanted to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandfather may not be able to live on but his stories will, and I am the one who carries them,â&#x20AC;? Cordes wrote in her essay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what I hope to do for many other men who fought in this war. Those WWII veterans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need money or gifts, they just need someone to tell their sto-

ries, someone who will willingly listen.â&#x20AC;?

It also likely helped her cause that Cordes is in French IV class. She visited France with her mother last year.

When Couch asked some students who would want to participate, Cordes jumped at the chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I raised my hand very high because my granddad was a big part of my life for many years,â&#x20AC;?

Cordes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then getting to interact with the veterans at the USO show is very wonderful.â&#x20AC;?

Cordes learned they had been selected from Couch on the final day of classes before winter break in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; right before my math exam and I could not focus,â&#x20AC;?

Cordes said.

As part of the project, students must complete selected readings, review video interviews with veterans and engage in online discussions with other participants.

If anyone has information on Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Callahan, please e-mail Couch (raelayman@gmail.com).

Waging a good marriage

FROM THE BACKSHOP Tsk, tsk, Walker: Which is it, sir?

This is a case where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to tell the truth so you never have to remember what you said. Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.), who at one time in 2006 orally ripped the ethanol mandate, altered his message (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Republican way) a week ago during a visit to Iowa.

Surprise! He embraced it during an appearance there. Kudos to Tim Carney of The Washington Examiner for doing the digging on this. By the way, the mandate is the corporate welfare program that subsidizes corn farmers and ethanol producers at the expense of motorists, diners, eateries and the environment. A word to the aspiring GOP nominee for the presidency: Say what you mean, mean what you say. Or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and be like the rest of the sheep already in Washington. Â&#x201C; Â&#x201C; Â&#x201C; NBC News (not Brian Williams) reported last week that its recent poll with the Wall Street Journal shows â&#x20AC;&#x153;more Americans clamoring for change in the upcoming 2016 presidential election than they were in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hope and Changeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; year of 2008.â&#x20AC;? Interesting. Apparently 59 percent of respondents said they would welcome a less-experienced candidate if he or she were to bring greater changes to existing policies.

Of course they would. They would so much, in fact, that they would simply wish for it instead of going to their polling place. Does anyone know what time Oprah reruns are on? (By the way, we view this, if true, to be something of a concern to Jeb Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the apparent frontrunners for the Republican and Democratic nominations, respectively.) Â&#x201C; Â&#x201C; Â&#x201C; So, back to that whole Hope and Change song and dance. From time to time, we check in on Real Clear Politics polling, and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to ponder from last week: It reported 44.4 percent approves of the job President Barack Obama is doing and 32.2 percent believes our nation is headed in the proper direction. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that change for which American voted.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Smelegant flights

Commentary by Terry Anker

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that airlines have gotten into the smell business. Well to be honest, they have long been in the smell business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; jet fuel, full planes filled with a potpourri of intentional and unintended human odors, and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the food (both brought onboard by staff to be served to the passengers and carried from the food court by the passengers themselves) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it would be more accurate to report that airlines are getting into the fragrance business.

Delta has a scent, entertainingly enough called Calm. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually been using it for a few years now. United has one, too. It goes by the moniker Landing. One wonders if it would be better received if called Safe Landing. Singapore Airlines has been doing it with its Stefan Floridian Waters for almost two decades. The always highly rated airline adds the concoction to its towels, lounges, cabins, and even expects its flight attendants to wear it as a perfume.

British Airways has included scent manipula-

tion as a part of its most recent marketing campaign. They believe it will make use of the human propensity to remember scent longer than other details. Moreover, studies have shown that scent can contribute to the transmission of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a feeling.â&#x20AC;?

As someone who regularly finds himself stuffed with other travelers into the sardine cans in the sky, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a fan of attempts to improve the smell that too often lands somewhere between low-rent food court and middle school locker room. Is the right solution to add another more powerful odor to overwhelm the cacophony of others? Maybe. But, any move to improve the overall smelegance of our ever diminishing decorum on public transportation must be a good thing! So for now, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be open minded â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or at least keep an open nostril.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love those who know the worst of us and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn their faces away.â&#x20AC;?

Walker Percy

Everybody throws the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;betâ&#x20AC;? around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary Ellen, I bet weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be late again.â&#x20AC;?

Or, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dick, I bet that burger has HUMOR 50 grams of fat.â&#x20AC;?

I enjoy a good wager every once in a while, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also very cheap. I spend a lot of time in casinosâ&#x20AC;Śeating the free eggrolls and watching people pull the lever on the nickel slot machine. I like the action.

The truth is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no fun making even a small side bet in a marriage, because there is no excitement in winning. Recently I bet Mary Ellen we would get at least three inches of snow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my ten bucks?â&#x20AC;? I asked her when I was proven right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any cash. I forgot to go to the bank. Can you give me some money so I can get groceries tomorrow?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $50. Now hand over my ten.â&#x20AC;? I won the bet and it only cost me $40.

Last week, Mary Ellen predicted the Oscar winner for Best Actor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my $20?â&#x20AC;? she asked, after Eddie Redmayne took the award. I handed over the cash, but she gave it right back to me because I needed it to pay the kid who shovels the driveway.

In most marriages, resources are all in one pot, so winning a bet or receiving a gift is not very satisfactory. Like for my birthday this weekâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, what a great watch this is, Mary Ellen. WE shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have spent so much money on it. I know how hard WE had to work to pay for it.â&#x20AC;?

Mary Ellen says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thought that counts.

My thought is, I wish she had squirrelled away the money, then bought my gift with that money. When I see my birthday gift on our charge card, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a gift. Or a surprise.

PLEASE, is there anyone who understands what I am saying?

My wife and I no longer bet cash, but chores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay, if I win Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cook dinner for a month, Mary Ellen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hate your cooking. I hope you lose.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay, if you win, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drive the entire way on our next long trip.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dick, you already do all the driving on long trips. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really lousy at this betting thing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get in the spirit, Mary Ellen. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wagering kind of fun?â&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I married you,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest chance I plan to take.â&#x20AC;?

Germaphobe? Not this parent Commentary by Danielle Wilson I dropped my work badge and keys in a not-yet-flushed toilet today at the high school where I teach. And not the faculty HUMOR restroom, mind you, but one frequented by hormonal teenage girls.

Disgusting, right? The funny thing is, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faze me one bit. I quickly reached in, fished by contaminated â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuffâ&#x20AC;? out of the bowl, and went about with my day. (I did wash my hands and later wipe the keys down with a Clorox towlette, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t freak out. Even Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not that carefree!)

But I doubt I would have been so nonchalant 20 years ago. As I complain about increased wrinkling, decreased vision and the other yo-yo perils of middle-age, one thing I do certainly appreciate about hitting my 40s is an improved sense of perspective. Little inconveniences and annoyances just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stress me out like they used to, and I find it much easier to prioritize the truly important things in life, like family and college basketball (Go Cards!).

I think a lot of this comes from having children. With the number of times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been pooped, peed and vomited on, germs take on a whole â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nother meaning. I can testify to the classic observation that the first baby always gets the boiled bottles and Drift detergent and the last is lucky to have her pacifier licked after itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen into the sandbox before it gets shoved right back into her adorable, dirt-covered mouth.

Having children also means less time to focus on the meaningless. Can I really be bothered by those who double-dip when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m racing across town in a mini-van to pick up from Tae Kwon Do after dropping off at jazz before grabbing the eighth gallon of milk for the week? And why should I care if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tiny spot of crud on my restaurant plate if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just thankful not to be eating Hamburger Helper for the fourth night in a row?

I actually know people who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink tap water on principle, refuse to use airport restrooms or hotel comforters, and will reject a gloriously-salted McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s French fry because it may or may not have spent a few seconds on the aforementioned mini-vanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s floor. Ridiculous, I say! Get over yourself and move on. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing the good stuff for fear of the bad.

Or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old enough now not to care. Sure I need bifocals and am addicted to Retin-A, but I have overcome my hang-ups about cleanliness and mysterious microbes and am ready to embrace life. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to spend my waning years worrying about or wasting time over E-coli and Ebola.

Colon screening helps prevent deadly, symptom-free cancer Commentary by Dr. Sweta Tandra

Some topics, such as those pertaining to bodily functions and colonoscopies, just don’t seem right for polite conversation BODY or thoughtful consideration as you trudge through daily obligations. The latter, however, is key to stopping the seconddeadliest cancer to hit Americans: colon cancer.

Many patients live with colon cancer for many years with no symptoms. The disease is highly treatable when identified early, but chances of survival dwindle considerably if caught after it spreads outside the colon.

The linchpin: early screening. In fact, 60 percent of colon cancer could be prevented if everyone underwent screening aged 50 and older, the age group where 90 percent of colon cancer is found.

During a colonoscopy, doctors examine the colon with a flexible tube, looking for pre-cancerous growth. Many patients tell me they didn’t get a colonoscopy because no one told them to, or because they feared the process.

Once patients undergo the test, they find it’s not as difficult or uncomfortable as they thought. If, for whatever reason, a colonoscopy isn’t feasible, clinicians can use other screening

modalities, like a simple stool test, flexible sigmoidoscopy (shorter scope that does not need elaborate colon cleansing) or CT colonography (a series of X-ray scans).

A surprising trend with colon cancer diagnoses is the rise in incidences in people between 20 and 50 years old. Scientists don’t yet understand why, and the data isn’t strong enough to extend screening to everyone, as a result of possible adverse effects. For patients younger than 50, I recommend paying close attention to symptoms like abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits or anemia, as well as risk factors (obesity, smoking, high alcohol consumption) and family history.

Regardless of age, a healthy lifestyle with a fiber-rich diet, no smoking and limited alcohol consumption can go a long way to prevent colon cancer. But don’t forget screening. With a little education, patients find screening can be simple.

Most importantly, it can help us stop cancer.

Dr. Sweta Tandra is a gastroenterologist with St.Vincent Medical Group.

SimplySkin MedSpa celebrates 10 year anniversary 1h 7^[[h :[X]T Â&#x201C; news@currentinfishers.com SimplySkin MedSpa in Fishers is a medical spa that offers a wide variety of services for the skin such as facials, chemical CELEBRATION peels, Coolsculpting, Botox and more. Local resident Holly Paquin opened SimplySkin in March 2005.

She and her husband Derek are still the owners and recently celebrated the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 year anniversary with an open house attended by clients and friends.

Holly Paquin explained that her business differs from typical salon or day spa offerings because SimplySkin concentrates on results rather than on just relaxation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A medical spa blends the best of two worlds, a relaxing spa experience with procedures and expertise found at a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medical estheticians handle the more routine spa therapies, and they also undergo additional training including laser therapies, medical grade peels, non-surgical face lifts, etc.â&#x20AC;?

SimplySkin can treat anyone and Paquin said now is the time to prepare for summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coolsculpting, which is a non-surgical fat reduction,

is by far our most popular treatment to get ready for swimsuit season,â&#x20AC;? she stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laser hair removal for bikini, under arms and legs is extremely popular and Photofacial treatments are always popular to get rid of age spots and to help prevent having to wear foundation to the pool.â&#x20AC;?

Paquin went on to state that she and her husband feel that SimplySkin has been embraced as a local business. Their primary products and services include facials, chemical peels, sun damage removal and other non-invasive treatments.

Over the years the products and services that have enjoyed the most growth are Coolsculpting and the injectables Botox and Juvederm.

SimplySkin has won the Indy A-list Best Facial five years in a row. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Simply Sensational Facial is always a favorite,â&#x20AC;? shared Paquin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We offer gift certificates online so men don't even have to come in to spoil their wives. They can design, pay and print from home.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women are becoming more proactive about their skin and we have all the tools to help them,â&#x20AC;? Paquin stated.

The city offers a plethora of practical options for your best GETAWAY staycation ever. It all starts at White River State Park downtown, where you can find the NCAA Hall of Champions, Eiteljorg Museum, IMAX Theater, State Museum and the Indianapolis Zoo. The Hall of Champions is showing â&#x20AC;&#x153;60 Years of the NCAA Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final Fourâ&#x20AC;? until May 5.

No fear: Ballet Theatre of Indiana to mix Beer & Ballet

By Mark Ambrogi Â&#x201C; \PaZ/h^dPaTdaaT]c R^\

Stirling Matheson, 27, the artistic director of Ballet Theatre of Indiana. (Submitted photo)

To Carmel resident Stirling Matheson, many people have the wrong perception about ballet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest problem is with ballet DANCE is people are intimidated by it,â&#x20AC;? said Matheson, artistic director for the Ballet Theatre of Indiana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a dance education to go to the ballet and enjoy it. So many people feel like they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not allowed to have an opinion. You are absolutely allowed to have an opinion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art. The whole point is that should evoke some sort of response in you. What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do is present the dance in a more casual way that will help people relax and watch it and get what they will out of it.â&#x20AC;?

So what better way then for Mathesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ballet company to hold a Beer & Ballet at the Athenaeum, 401 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis, at 7:30 p.m. March 27.

Sun King Brewing is partnering with the BTI for the program and craft beer will be available throughout the show. Tickets are $20 and $15 for students and

seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ballet has a reputation for being pretentious and if you actually meet ballerinas they are not that way at all,â&#x20AC;? Matheson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That (reputation) scares audience members off because they feel like they know what they are doing. They know what they are doing, they are watching a show. If you are a hard-core balletomane, you can talk about tiny intricate details. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like anything.â&#x20AC;?

The program will include three contemporary choreographed pieces by Matheson and his wife Sabrina, also an artistic director for BTI. There also will be a piece by guest choreographer Cole Companion, a friend of Mathesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from San Francisco. The Mathesons are both Butler University alums.

Three of their nine professional dancers recently graduated from Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program.

This is the first season for the nonprofit professional ballet company based in Carmel and this will be the second main stage production.  Tickets may be ordered at http://beerandballet. brownpapertickets.comor by calling 1-800-838-3006.

Scroll: Treasure map or ancient hoax?

Commentary by Don Knebel

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. It’s an engaging novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying, “Finally, a horror story void of vampires, werewolves, or zombies!”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Available in paperback at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

www.divittowrites.com

The so-called “Copper Scroll,” now housed in a Jordanian museum, identifies hidden caches of almost unimaginable quantities TRAVEL of gold and silver. Although some scholars believe the scroll is a 2000-year-old hoax, would-be Indiana Joneses keep digging.

After local Bedouins found the original Dead Sea Scrolls in caves near Jericho in 1946, archaeologists searched 250 nearby caves. In 1952, they found two scrolls in what became known as “Cave 3,” made of high-grade copper instead of the parchment and papyrus of scrolls found earlier. Because the metal had long since corroded and become brittle, the scrolls could not be unrolled. A laboratory in Manchester, England, eventually opened the scrolls by cutting them lengthwise and then separating the sheets. The translated Hebrew text, written in script unlike that of the other scrolls, showed the two scrolls were part of a single scroll that had separated before being rolled. What became known as the “Copper Scroll” lists 64 locations where specified quantities of gold, silver and other treasures can be found.

scribes. Some believe the scroll identifies items from the Second Temple in Jerusalem, hidden before the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Others argue the items were accumulated by first century Essenes living in Qumran, near where the scroll was found. Still others claim the treasures came from the First Temple, destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. Finally, some scholars believe the Copper Scroll repeated an ancient fable. Fable or not, explorers from around the world have sought fame and fortune using the ambiguous descriptions in the Copper Scroll, so far digging up only dirt.

Because Jordan financed the expedition that found the Copper Scroll, for years it was displayed in the Jordanian Archaeological Museum.

The scroll recently moved to a much larger display in the newly opened Jordan Museum in Amman, where it is among the museum’s most popular items.

Rearranging floor plan creates full bath, laundry room Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING LAUNDRY ROOM: Located in the Smokey Knoll subdivision in Carmel, this 28-year-old tri-level BLUEPRINT FOR home had a first IMPROVEMENT floor guest bedroom with only a half bathroom nearby. As a result, guests were forced to climb two sets of stairs to take a shower.

Although functional, the adjacent laundry room was outdated and in need of a fresh look. The homeowners wanted to convert the half bath to a full bath to make guests feel more comfortable in their home.

COMBINING ROOMS: In order to create enough space to add a full bath for guests, the original powder bath and laundry room were combined into one space. The existing guest bedroom doorway was terminated and relocated to the hallway wall. The interior hall walls were modified allowing the extra hallway space needed to expand the new bathroom/laundry room.

NATURAL LIGHT: The window from the existing laundry room helps flood the expanded space with abundant natural light. The location of the shower and the frameless glass enclosure also takes advantage of the light creating a warm and inviting experience for guests.

MATERIAL SELECTIONS: â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the design phase, our material selections were inspired

Before

by a very clean and fresh look.â&#x20AC;? Large â&#x20AC;&#x153;Madison Silverâ&#x20AC;? 12-by-24-inch tile was installed in a brick pattern making the room appear larger. The shower features Eastern Blanco 8-by-24-inch wall tile in a staggered pattern while glass subway tile accents the niche.

The laundry area features storage space for laundry detergents and supplies, a stainless steel rack for hang-drying clothes, dedicated laundry hampers and a Cambria quartz countertop in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Torquayâ&#x20AC;? color for folding.

The same glass subway tile installed in the shower was used for the backsplash for a

After

clean and consistent look.

FINAL RESULT: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love the brightness and elegance of the new laundry/bathroom the most. The remodel has dramatically improved our guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience and it certainly makes doing laundry fun!â&#x20AC;?
