Zack Bernas, survivor, nominated for Man of the Year

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com In 2004, at the age of 17, a senior Hamilton Southeastern football player Zack Bernas was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Disease. The nominated cancer was aggressive and spread extensively throughout his body. Bernas received chemotherapy and was completely cancer-free within three months of his diagnosis. During his treatment, he received the support of his football team and the Fishers community.

Bernas is now looking to give that support back. He was nominated for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Man of the Year for 2015. He is competing against four other men all with the same goal in mind--to raise money for the LLS for cancer research. Bernas is hosting several fundraising events until the black tie gala on May 9 at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis.

Donations can be made by purchasing tickets to the event, bidding on the silent and live auction items and attending one of his fundraising events in Fishers. There will be a March Madness bracket challenge, a shopping day at Dottie Couture and events at local restaurants. Some of the live auction items include tickets to Disney World, a bed and breakfast weekend and a trip to Chicago.

Not only did Bernas battle the disease but so did other family members and close friends, as well. Bernas feels he owes his life to the advances in treatment due to the research of the LLS. “He felt compelled to give back because this organization helped advance treatments up until now that helped saved his life,” said Bernas’ fiancée, Amanda Dils.

If Bernas raises $50 thousand a research grant will be named in honor of Allan Ellis, the father of a family friend who recently died from acute myeloid leukemia.

Remembering HSE grad

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com An All-State athlete and HSE graduate known for her hard work, teamwork, optiservice mism and devotion will be remembered during an annual community service work day on March 28 for the community.

Carrie Colglazier, a 2002 graduate and Butler University student, was killed in the summer of 2003 by a drunk driver, along with her friend and recent graduate of Butler, DJ Rahn, from Elkhart.

“Carrie was very outgoing, enthusiastic and passionate; she made your day better every time you saw her,” said Athletic Director of HSE, Jim Self.

“She touched lives and impressed people just with all the different interests she had. She was just a unique lady.”

Colglazier, who won a scholarship to Butler, was a two sport All-State athlete in soccer and track and was a member of the FFA and National Honor Society at HSE. She won each major varsity team award, including MVP Defense her sophomore year, the Golden Boot Mental Attitude Award her junior year, and the MVP offense her senior year.

In addition, Colglazier was All County and All Conference for three years and ICGSA All State her senior year. She was a member of the National Silver Medalist Horse Judging Team and served as an officer for FFA and 4-H. “(Attending) HSE was the best thing that ever happened to Carrie,” said Karen Colglazier, Carrie’s mother. “She blossomed then and just embraced

every opportunity she had.”

Shortly after Colglazier’s death, Self, Karen and Bud Colglazier, Carrie’s father, decided to establish a scholarship in memory of Carrie. Funding for the scholarship, in its 12th year, comes from the community service work day. Members of HSE girl’s track and soccer athletes, along with FFA and National Honor Society members, are available for an eight-hour work day, with a minimum of a $25 donation per worker.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Carrie Colglazier Scholarship Fund, awarded annually at Senior Awards Night each May. The scholarship awards $12,000 over four years.

The scholarship is also funded by FFA Donkey Basketball and private donations.

HSE creates fundraiser show

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com Looking for a concert the whole family can enjoy can be a challenge if you like romantic ballads, your spouse prefers jazz, performance the kids will only listen to contemporary hits, while Grandpa favors barbershop quartets and Grandma adores gospel.

On April 24, the Purdue Varsity Glee Club will perform at HSE High School’s Leonard Auditorium, 1310 E. 126th St., Fishers, at 7 p.m. as a fundraiser show.

Several members of the glee club are local graduates: Ryan Straut, Trevor Peters, and Rob Mantock of HSE High School, and Patrick Montgomery, an FHS graduate.

Straut, a senior at Purdue University, created the fundraiser as a way to give back to HSE’s drama club and choir department. In addition, funds will support a scholarship for an HSE High School senior that has dedicated his/her participation in the drama club but will not be majoring in performing arts in college.

“The scholarship is to recognize, reward and encourage students and give back to those students given the opportunity to study whatever they want (in college),” Straut said.

Straut, who is majoring in computer graphics with a minor in forensic science, expressed his appreciation for the skills and qualities he developed in the drama club at high school, which he said has

Indianapolis Sailing Club: Geist fixture for 60 years

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Karen Chagnon wanted to give her son, Chris, something to do after moving from Omaha, Neb., the summer before he spent his senior year at Hamilton Southeastern High School. cover story “At the time I lived in a house near the sailing club,” said Chagnon, who joined the club in 2008. “I was looking more for my son than myself. But it turned out I was the one that was hooked.

Chagnon, a 47-year-old native of England who moved to the United States 18 years ago, is serving as the Indianapolis Sailing Club’s commodore, the second woman to do so in the club’s history and 61st overall.

The first female commodore, Carol Gebhardt, served in 2001 and is now the club’s treasurer.

The focus of Indianapolis Sailing Club, which was founded in 1955, has been on racing.

“We’re focused on getting people out on the water, whether you are socially sailing or racing,” said Chagnon, who now lives near Broad Ripple. “We want people to learn the skills it takes to enjoy racing and sailboating.”

Chagnon has a keelboat, a bigger sailboat she uses to race. She also serves as a crew member in a Lightning in the one-design sailboat class.

Indianapolis Sailing Club participants range from 8 years old to those who are still active sailors in their mid-80s, long-time member Paul White said.

White, 77, still races frequently and is heavily involved in race management.

“I’m the boss on the water making sure things happen correctly,” White said.

White, who was the 30th commodore in the club’s history in 1984, joined the club in 1971.

White will be principal race officer for the Y-Flyer Junior National and Senior National, which will be held at the Indianapolis Sailing Club on June 22-26. White said the national regatta has been held at the club several times.

In 2008, White and his wife, Kay, who live in Lawrence Township, won the International Regatta Y-Flyer in 2008 in Sudbury, Ontario. His son Steve, 52, learned to sail at the club and now has had a handful of sailboats in North Carolina.

“The club has continued to grow through the years,” White said.

“You lose members but you gain members as well.”

Chagnon said there are 323 members.

“The club is still a little bit male-dominated but there are a lot more women participating and becoming members,” Chagnon said.

There are keelboat races on Wednesday nights, and Sunday afternoons are more for one-design boats, Chagnon said.

The club’s racing season begins with Laser Regatta on April 11-12. One special race is the Old Oaken Rudder between Indiana University and Purdue on Sept. 12. Racing dates continue until late October.

“The thing about this club is everyone is a volunteer,” Chagnon said.

On March 28, the club holds a spring clean-up where many volunteers clean up the clubhouse, the deck and the grounds.

“We spend a whole day out here getting ready for the club,” Chagnon said. “We never want to make sailing something that is unaffordable to do, so we try to make it affordable for everyone so to do that you have to volunteer.”

White said the members are motivated by love of the sport.

“It’s passionate people doing what they like to do,” White said.

Unusual sailing story Marcus Rogers lived in San Francisco, San Diego and Newport, R.I., which bills itself as the Sailing Capital of the World. However, Rogers didn’t learn to sail until he moved to Fishers.

The 47-year-old joined the club six years ago after inheriting a wooden Lightning from an uncle who lived in Muncie.

“I didn’t think I had the know-how to sail,” Rogers said. “This is a great way to build your confidence up because it’s on a little pond like this. The club is all about teaching people how to sail.”

Rogers said he met long-time sail club member Howdy King before he joined the club. King had given him advice to fix up the boat he inherited.

“He said you ought to sail with us, I did and I was hooked,” said Rogers, who served as membership director in 2014.

“I guess you could say it’s become a passion. It gets me out of housekeeping.”

Rogers’ 7-year-old son, Joseph, helps as a lookout during his father’s keelboat races. Joseph also has a Hobie Cat, a wide, short catamaran. Rogers said it’s a positive activity for his son.

“It’s better than him sitting in front of the TV playing video games,” Rogers said.

Indianapolis Sailing Club Address: 11325 Fall Creek Rd., Indianapolis.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Sever government’s lengthening arm Our friends at Human Events sent a missive last week about the long arm of government getting longer. This time, the National Labor Relations Board on April 14 would like to make a law that businesses must provide employees’ phone numbers and personal email addresses.

Who’s telling the jokes? The U.S. Senate already has defeated the measure, and this week the U.S. House of Representatives is going to vote on a Congressional Review Act resolution that the Senate has already passed to tell the NLRB to stop using government power to benefit union bosses. Last we heard, doling out workers’ personal contact information is a desecration of basic privacy entitlements and will inevitably lead to workers being targeted for harassment at the hands of union leadership. As your fellow Americans did with respect to the Senate vote, you should tell your House representative that you want privacy protected by sending a virtual “Do Not Disturb” letter at http://friends.channeldemocracy.com. And, as Human Events noted: Unlike the government’s proposal, this letter is voluntary.

••• Last week, one of our managing editors, Robert Herrington, hit the nail squarely on the head, when he penned a column taking “nearly invisible” candidates to task. We’ll parrot here what he proffered. The act of public service is serious business, just as is running for public office. Many candidates have declared for the primary election, and some of them even attend public meetings, like those of councils and boards. Some. Others are content to just hit the trail. It seems to us that if one wants to serve, he or she should make it a point to attend and grasp the goings-on of such panels.

Knowing the issues, challenges and opportunities and fully understanding them are separate animals. Ask your candidates (unless they already serve): Do you attend the meetings, and what have you gleaned from them? Then listen carefully. It will help you cast an informed vote on May 5. You are going to vote, correct?

A big week

Commentary by Terry Anker

It has been a big week. They all are; but, this one seems especially packed, back-to-back, with all the things that keep the adrenalin pumping. Life has a way of reminding us that it is in charge.

In Singapore on business, Carolyn, my bride of almost a quarter century now, emailed to let me know that her Mom, self-sustaining and independent into her 90’s, needed to move from the condo, where she’d lived the whole of the 10 years since her husband of 55 years had passed, into a place where greater care could be given her – at least for a little while. So, Carolyn and the boys made the trip to north suburban Chicago to visit and check the transition.

The very next day, I returned to the US and my family found its way home for our reuniting. Our oldest has discovered that competitive college ultimate Frisbee can be a dangerous contact sport. His surgery to repair the shoulder damage incurred a week or so back was scheduled; and

we wanted him to be home, rested, and ready to go.

Work, delayed by inattention, piles up. Laundry, delayed by inattention, piles up, too. But with a bit of triage and good luck, we hit the necessary, review the less pressing, and hold-on to the rest. Life is unimpressed with our project management skills. Word came that Carolyn’s Mom died a little more than a day after the visit. While unwelcomed, the news was not unanticipated.

So, we’ve planned arrangements. We helped our boy through his surgery (all went as hoped).

We worked a little (I even wrote a column). We managed to wash a few delicates. And, it’s only Wednesday. Maybe the best thing to do when life overflows is to let it. Could we stop it if we tried and would it really matter?

Q U O T E O F T H E W EE K “Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.”

-Danny Kaye

How would you react if your son caught the winning TD pass in the Super Bowl? Would you cheer? Cry? Twerk? I did all three when my extremely constipated 4-month-old son finally managed to “pass his own football” after an hour of straining and screaming. Honestly, I couldn’t have been prouder! The next morning, our momentary trauma long-forgotten, I vowed to add juice to his diet, and that was that.

Then, five years later and still constipationignorant, I found myself at a Promptcare with an obscenely hot physician, trying to explain how, even with laxatives and a children’s enema, my infant daughter couldn’t go. I watched in horror as he nonchalantly “extracted” the blockage with a Q-tip and then lectured me on the importance of dietary fiber. Not my finest parenting moment, to be sure.

Now, thanks to another child, I’m finally an expert on children’s constipation. He’s had it so bad that we’ve been seeing a pediatric G.I. for more than two years. Part of his problem is his diet, which rarely sees a fruit or a vegetable, but the other part is just his body. His intestinal tract hasn’t matured enough yet to process foods properly. There’s nothing I can do for his genetics, which I blame entirely on my husband, but I can address what he eats.

Unfortunately, that’s a lot easier said than done. After all, he can’t down 12 espressos to stimulate his bowels, and Mueslix just tastes nasty.

Our main course of action has been Miralax, which is exactly as the name implies, a miracle laxative. The beauty is it’s “tasteless, odorless, and dissolves instantly in liquid,” so I can sneak it in hot chocolate fairly easily.

Next up are the fiber supplements. Two candy-like tablets a day plus Benefiber sprinkled on and in anything he eats. We’ve also switched out Wonder Bread for its brilliant imposter, whole-grain white, and changed to iron-free vitamins. As for the MIA fruits and veggies, he’s only come on board with canned pears and peeled apples, neither of which provide much fiber, but it’s a start.

Hypothetically, we should be able to wean him off all this subversive counter-constipation “crap” any time now, but on the few occasions when we’ve forgotten to administer his “meds” for several days, he’s reverted right back to a strung-out 6 year old, red-faced and crying on the toilet. According to his doctor though, he’s a healthy normal little boy who may just have to deal with a laxative addiction. And I’m okay with that, as long as he says “Hi Mom!” while holding the Lombardi trophy. Poop out! Please!

Indiana natives return to run Beauty Bar at Geist

By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com Chad and Erin Hunt met while attending Ball State University. Erin grew up in Cicero and Chad grew up in Fort Wayne. business In 2006, after graduating from Ball State they decided to move to Jupiter, Fla. While in Florida, Chad worked at a boutique investment firm and as a project manager for a construction company. Erin worked in accounting and business development.

Although they both enjoyed Florida, they missed their families. After 7 years in Florida, they decided to move back.

“Since we started our family we felt that Indiana was a better place to raise our kids. Furthermore, we wanted to be closer to our families. My family lives in Carmel and Erin’s lives in Fishers,” said Chad.

The idea for the Beauty Bar at Geist was born from a trip out with a group of girlfriends in Indianapolis to get their nails done. Erin asked if there was a place where they could get a glass of wine while having their nail services done.

This type of salon was common in Florida but there wasn’t anything like it in Indianapolis.

Chad and Erin started doing their research.

They looked at all available opportunities from building a new business to purchasing an existing one. Once they found the Reeda Todd salon they fell in love with the location. Given the de-

mographics, they thought that it was the perfect fit.

“I liked this salon because a lot of the staff had been there a long time. There was a feel of community. Most clients had been going there for a decade,” said Erin.

Not only do they love the community they work in, but they also work to help that community, as well. The salon does silent auctions and fundraisers twice a month. The proceeds from these events go to various charities.

Indiana was able to offer them two very important things that Florida couldn’t according to Chad…their family and Colts football. Now they can have both.

Indy Doula Associates, or IDA, will celebrate their grand opening with an open house health at Source Yoga in Fishers on May 2. A doula is a trained and certified professional offering emotional and physical support to mothers before, during and after the birth process. IDA is unique in that they bring together four experienced doulas that can also provide informational resources, lactation services and much more.

The open house takes place from 1 – 4 p.m. and is an opportunity to find out about IDA services and Source Yoga is the host, not the IDA storefront. “We do not have a location,” explained owner, founder and doula Patti Crawford. “We prefer to make things convenient. We meet in our clients’ homes or if someone wants to meet in a public place we do that.”

Doulas can be beneficial at any time during the pregnancy. “It’s never too late to have a doula because we will be there with you,” Crawford stated.

“We want our clients to have a happy, healthy birth experience that they want. Our job is to help them navigate that.”

How are doulas received at area hospitals?

Crawford said she has never been turned away and she recently attended a meeting on how to develop relationships with doctors, nurses and other caregivers. “Our goal is to educate our clients with evidence-based advice so they can advocate for themselves without alienating the caregivers,” she said.

In fact, Crawford has been a doula for five years and has built a solid reputation with both medical

professionals and clients. "As a chiropractor specializing in prenatal care, I have had a professional working relationship with Patti for years,” stated Dr. Abigail F. Eaton, D.C. “We chose to ask her to be our doula last year for the birth of our son, and Patti rose to the occasion.”

“We are unique because we come to you for prenatal, post-partum and lactation services as well as the birth itself. I’ve done over 400 births and at IDA we are a powerhouse of resources and information,” Crawford said. Go to www.indydoulaassociates.com for more information.

Subway tile trends for 2015

Commentary by David Decker

Please join us!

Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast Featuring Paula Sellars, MSW Creator of Stewards of Children A child sexual abuse prevention program for adults.

Wednesday, April 22, 2015 7:00-9:00am Ritz Charles 12156 N. Meridian Street www.chauciesplace.org

For generations, homeowners have been adding New York City modernist style to their kitchens and bathrooms by installing indoors subway tiles. These rectangular shaped tiles are excellent for creating a current, contemporary look that still feels very timeless. In 2015, subway tiles are being used in everything from backsplash designs to flooring and much more.

The subway tile design first debuted in the New York City underground subway system back in the early 1900s. The sleek, contemporary design quickly caught on with the general public, and soon the entire country was decorating kitchens and bathrooms with 3- by 6-inch, rectangular “subway” tiles. Over 100 years have passed since those first tiles were laid, and subway tiles remain as popular as ever. Ceramic is still the most popular material for the tiles to be crafted from, because it is easy to clean and maintain. However, subway tiles can be found in almost every color, texture and finish imaginable.

The two most popular places where homeowners install subway tiles are in the kitchen and bathroom. But they’ve made the leap into other spaces that benefit from easy-care surfaces such as laundry rooms, basements and fireplace surrounds. Visually, the shape of the tile tends to draw the eye upward, which makes the space seem wider and the ceilings appear higher. This is especially true for the larger-sized subway tiles. In terms of maintenance, ceramic subway tiles are tough enough to withstand heavy usage for decades. Simply clean the ceramic tiles with mild, nonabrasive soap to keep them looking shiny and new.

In 2015, a few subway tile trends to look out for center on tile placement, color selection, and grout choice. Shifting the direction of the tiles

Updated subway tiles provide timeless look. (Submitted photo)

can radically alter the look you are creating.

Many homeowners are choosing to install subway tiles vertically, instead of horizontally, which makes the ceiling look higher than it actually is.

This trend is being utilized in shower surrounds and bathrooms so that small spaces feel a little more luxurious. You can even use subway tiles to create distinctive border or frame patterns as well. Subway tiles are an excellent way to throw in a pop of color that won’t overwhelm the space. Popular colors this season include solid black, and bold primary colors such as Mediterranean blue, deep scarlet or mustard yellow. Use these in your kitchen or vanity backsplash to contrast with a more traditional cabinetry design for a contemporary look. And once a color choice has been selected, choosing a grout color that contrasts with the design is one way of putting a 2015 spin on the subway tile.

What to ask them before hiring Commentary by Bob Wasson

Riverview Health Foundation Community Relations Committee presents

11th Annual Women of Vision Luncheon Sponsored by: CarDon & Associates, Inc. Join women from around the community to celebrate, learn and reflect. Keynote speaker, Sarah Johnson, MD, will speak on her journey to become one of the first female interventional cardiologists in the country, as well as address the challenges women face today with their personal healthcare. This event provides support for women’s services, programs and equipment at Riverview Health.

Register at riverview.org/womenofvision or call 317.776.7938.

When: Thursday, April 23, 2015 Time: Registration and Shopping – 10:30 am; Lunch and Program – 12:00 pm Location: Renaissance Indianapolis North Hotel, 11925 N. Meridian Street, Carmel

The time of year when homeowners take a closer look at their yards and begin to imagine the possibilities at hand. After Landscaping 38 years of helping families make their property more beautiful, and more functional, I’ve learned that you can help identify qualified landscaping professionals by answering five questions: Would you drive his or her truck? Landscape architecture is about attention to detail and aesthetics. These qualities ought to be evident in every aspect of your landscaper’s business – including the appearance of its vehicles.

How many employees does the company have? Is the company a one-person operation or is it comprised of a team of landscaping professionals that can complete a project in a few hours instead of taking several days?

How long has the company been in the landscaping business? Experience is impor-

tant. You don’t want to pay someone to learn how to landscape by practicing – and making mistakes – in your yard.

Where do their plants and trees come from? Plants and trees grown in the southern part of the United States are often sold at big box stores and may be less expensive, but they also are far less suited to survive an Indiana winter.

Can the company give you credible references? Before you invest in an outdoor living space or new landscaping, be sure to ask for references.

Remember, landscaping is an investment, not an expense. Choose a reputable landscaper, and it’s one of the best investments in your home you could possibly make.
