Mayor Scott Fadness addressed questions at the annual State of the City, such as what to say to residents who are concerned how IKEA will affect the quality of life in Fishers. (Submitted images)

Fadness talks economic development at State of the City

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Mayor Scott Fadness began his annual State of the City March 15 by listing economic development numbers. update “Our economic development has involved over 1,500 new jobs in 2016 in the city and $200 million of private real estate investment,” he said. “There have been over 53,000 police calls and 5,000 fire calls, and 74 people have been helped through the community paramedicine proFadness gram. We have had all of this activity while still maintaining the lowest tax rate in any city in Indiana. There’s been an extraordinary amount of activity and energy around this vision of becoming a smart and vibrant entrepreneurial city.”

Fadness was questioned by an Indianapolis reporter. The first question was about the city's largest challenges and how the administration will address them.

“One of the biggest challenges facing our city, believe it or not, is sustainability,” Fadness said.

“People come here to be near where they work and our good schools and they can find affordable housing, but they don’t really have a tie to the community. So when Fishers is no longer the shiny object it once was, how does Fishers continue to sustain itself? Those types of challenges are not here today but will be here.”

Fadness said he and his staff are addressing that by reinvesting in parts of the community that are beginning to, such as 96th and 116th streets and Allisonville Road.

Fadness also was asked what he would say to those in the community concerned about the quality of life when IKEA opens in the fall.

“I went through the same emotion they did,” Fadness said. “We will make sure it fits the vision of the community and take proactive steps to rezone the area around it to not get the tradi-

tional retail that follows IKEAs.” Fadness also addressed traffic concerns and highlighted what has been done, and what will be done, to ensure connectivity throughout the city.

“Last year, we put $30 million of road infrastructure into this city, typically around IKEA and Topgolf at the 116th interchange,” he said. “We will invest $200 million over the next five years, including (Ind.) 37. That in itself is not good enough. I think the best thing to do from a traffic perspective is bring more jobs back to Fishers so people are actually working and living in Fishers.”

Fadness concluded by stressing the importance of Indianapolis and Hamilton County cities working together.

“In the past, I don’t know if it (Fishers’ relationship with Indianapolis) was great, but I think it’s getting a lot better,” he said.

“We are still trying to figure out what our roles are with one another. I do think none of us will be better off individually as we could be collectively. We as a metropolitan area are not succeeding at nearly the rate we need to be. Fishers and Carmel talk about success individually, but collectively, as a whole region, we have a lot of work to do, and we need to be leaders in that pursuit. Fishers should be engaged as much as possible with that discussion.”

Free science lectures – Anderson University’s School of Science and Engineering is offering a series of lectures that are free and open to the public. The lectures start at 7 p.m. and are located in Hartung Hall (room 101).

Hoosier Road students seek to help Mustard Seed

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hoosier Road Elementary School students are doing their part to help those less fortunate. giving back “Our classes were talking about problems that we saw in our community, and a lot of them were coming back to the homeless, and that was something they really wanted to learn about and how (the students) could make an impact or difference in the world,” said Leslie Fisher, a second grade teacher at the Fishers school. “We read lots of books and talk to our classes. We did some research online about how homelessness affects people.”

Fisher noticed a story about The Mustard Seed of Central Indiana holding a shoe and furniture drive for families in need. Natalia Blondet, executive director of the Fishersbased Mustard Seed, came to the school and told the classes about her nonprofit.

The mission of the Mustard Seed is to help rebuild the lives of families and in-

dividuals who have suffered disasters or personal tragedies by providing household furnishings. Some of these individuals were formerly homeless.

Students set up a booth at a health fair last month to tell families about the Mustard Seed. Third grade teacher Shailey Parrish said the students raised $250 in donations.

Rotary presents Fishers on Tap

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For the past five years, the Fishers Rotary Club has hosted a bi-annual Fishers on Tap event featuring multiple loevent cal breweries and restaurants.

The events have been held in the winter at Forum Conference Center and in the summer at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheatre.

This year, the Fishers on Tap indoor event will be held in the spring.

“The indoor event at Forum Conference Center maxes out at a capacity of 400.

That’s been a great event for us. It’s filling up and doing well,” Fishers on Tap Chair Bill Jerow said. “Wine tickets are there as well.

Women let us know they don’t like beer and they wanted wine, so we brought a winery in with 30 or 40 tickets (per) event. It’s focused on Indiana craft breweries to support the local Indiana economy.”

Eight breweries and six restaurants will be featured at the event. Restaurants include Red Sake, Ruth's Chris, Peterson’s, Rockstone Pizza and Redemption Aleworks.

The two returning breweries are Bier Brewery and Grand Junction Brewing Co. The other breweries differ each year.

Guests try beer samples at a previous Fishers on Tap event at Forum Conference Center in Fishers. (File photo)

“We try to get the newer ones, those that are just starting up,” Jerow said.

“All these funds we raise at these two events, sometimes as high as $25,000 in good years, we donate back to the local community. We have a donation process these funds go into and an application process, and we push it back out.”

The event will be 5 to 8 p.m. April 15.

Tickets are $40. Wine tickets are $20 and glass purchases are required. Designated driver tickets are $20. Tickets include food samples, live music, giveaways and a 50/50 raffle.

Single-family permits rise news@geistcurrent.com The Builders’ Association of Greater Indianapolis recently released numbers reflecting that its nine-county Real estate greater Indianapolis area single-family home permits rose for the 14th straight month The numbers rose 7 percent compared to January 2016. As of January 2017, there were 345 new permits issued year to date.

in a press release. “We are seeing surges in the 55-plus housing market along with the multi-family housing market which helps offset some of the regulatory struggles prohibiting local builders from keeping up with demand for housing in an affordable price range.”

Hamilton County again has the most single-family home permits with 137 in January.

The next highest is Marion County with 53.

Breakfast features legislators

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County’s state legislators came together at a breakfast at Conner Prairie March 10 to update the busiPOLITICS ness community on the legislative session.

WTHR reporter Kevin Rader moderated the discussion between state representatives Kathy Richardson, Jerry Torr, Donna Schaibley and Tony Cook and state senators Luke Kenley, John Ruckelshaus, Mike Delph and Jim Merritt. All of them represent portions of Hamilton County.

Two main topics were how a repeal of the Affordable Care Act would affect Indiana’s Medicaid expansion program, HIP 2.0, and the proposed gas tax to fund road improvements statewide.

As for HIP 2.0, the legislators said Indiana is in wait-and-see mode. About 250,000 Hoosiers have coverage through the program, and a proposed replacement for the ACA would slowly phase out matching funds to the state to pay for health care. It could have an impact on the state’s budget, legislators said.

The proposed gas tax would increase the

state’s current gas tax from 18 cents to 28 cents. It could be tied to inflation, which means it could increase every year. There would be extra fees for vehicle registration and a $150 fee for electric vehicles. The changes are designed to raise an estimated $1.2 billion a year for road upkeep and construction.

“We’ve had no tax increase in this area since 2003, so the tax has actually been a tax cut since the buying power of the 18-cent gas tax has decreased over time,” Kenley said.

Fighting chance Geist resident mixes art, boxing to provide Parkinson’s relief

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Wendell Lowe’s art career took a huge turn after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

“I was creative cover story before Parkinson’s, but after it, I needed something to do,” said Lowe, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2009. “I got more of an urge to do art than I did before. I’ve never done so much art in my life, and I can’t stop Lowe doing it.”

The Geist resident used to do more photo impressions and more detailed artwork, but since the Parkinson’s progression, he has reinvented his approach to art.

“I had never been able to paint with my feelings and thoughts (before Parkinson’s),” Lowe said. “I was a graphic designer, and I had to document something exactly.”

Now, his specialty is abstract paintings.

“The stuff I’m doing now with Parkinson’s is some of the best stuff I’ve ever done,” Lowe said. “It’s not conservative.

I purposely am trying not to be afraid to let my mind go. Some of these pieces are from deep down in my soul. Some of these pieces I can’t even interpret where they came from. They came from me, but a part of me I haven’t got in touch with, the subconscious side.”

Some of Lowe’s art has been influenced from his time at Rock Steady Boxing, a nonprofit that helps those with Parkinson’s improve their quality of life with noncontact boxing. Lowe, 63, has been working out at Rocky Steady three times each week for the past two years.

Lowe’s exhibit “Artist Boxer – This is my Parkinson’s” will debut from 6 to 9 p.m. April 7 at the Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association First Friday Art Tour at the Indiana Landmarks Rapp Family Gallery, 1201 Central Ave., Indianapolis. The exhibit will continue through the rest of April, and a portion of the proceeds will assist the continuing growth of Rock Steady.

Lowe has begun to do finger paintings, which makes it more accessible for him to

produce new work. It also is therapeutic.

“I don’t have the fine motor skills I used to have,” Lowe said. “I have a slight shakiness.”

Lowe is driven, often staying up all night working on his pieces.

“I have all these ideas and my mind is spinning all the time,” said Lowe, who works out of his home studio. “I can’t stop creating. This is all of me out there now.”

His advice to other artists is, ‘Don’t be afraid to create, just let yourself go.”

DOUBLE BLOW Although he was diagnosed in 2009, Lowe said it’s likely he had developed Parkinson’s a couple of years before doctors determined it.

“What was interesting in my case is about two weeks after I was diagnosed, I was feeling depressed, then I was diagnosed with colon cancer,” Lowe said. “I went through a fairly long time where I didn’t want to do anything. I was in a big hole. I was a mess.”

Eventually, Lowe survived cancer and pulled out of his funk.

At that time, Lowe was teaching art for Indianapolis Public Schools, working with kids with emotional disabilities.

“It was kind of an art therapy for them,”

Lowe said. “I loved that. I had all kinds of jobs in the arts, and that was my favorite. I was like an artist on wheels, driving to different schools.”

Lowe said he decided two years ago it was time to retire and devote all of his time to his artwork.

Lowe said he has been away from the arts world exhibit scene for 10 years.

“So this is my big coming out,” Lowe said of his exhibit featuring his abstract art.

“It’s a big deal to get all my art work out there and see how the public reacts to it.”

From 2000 to 2002, Lowe was president and show chairman of the Stutz Artist Association. He had a one-man show at Clowes Memorial Hall in 2002.

Lowe, whose wife Mary is director of special services for Washington Township Schools, designed the Riley Hospital for Children’s specialty license plate logo of the kids in the red wagon.

ROCK STEADY RELIEF Lowe has benefited from his time working with Rock Steady, both mentally and physically.

“It’s neat to be around a bunch of guys that are going through the same thing you are,” Lowe said. “It’s an intense, physical workout that keeps you ahead of the Par-

kinson’s. If you keep moving and exercising, it’s already been proven that this is a major treatment for Parkinson’s. It keeps you moving. (Parkinson’s is) still progressing but not as rapidly, and that’s because of the physical workouts.”

Lowe said it was constantly recommended that he try Rock Steady, and he finally did.

“If I wasn’t doing Rock Steady, I’d probably be in the recliner chair watching TV,” he said. “I probably wouldn’t live as long.”

Lowe has been working with Rock Steady certified public trainer Christine Timberlake about art therapy.

“I think the personal journey that he went through to get where he is, part of it was the physical training through Rock Steady,” Timberlake said.

Equally important are the friendships with fellow Parkinson patients.

“It’s a group that encourages each other and understands each other,” Timberlake said. “I think that’s a big part of the success of this program.”

Timberlake, who has a fine arts degree, has followed what Lowe is doing artistically.

“Wendell has all of a sudden found this renaissance where he’s suddenly very prolific again,” Timberlake said. “It’s like it’s opened a door for him. It was pretty brave for him to put himself out there and say, ‘This is what I’m doing now.’ He’s showing his Parkinson’s to the world."

Rock Steady was founded by former Marion County Prosecutor Scott Newman in 2006 after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at age 40.

Most exhausting time of the year

o b s e r v ation Dig in for comfort

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker What is it about macaroni and cheese?

While handy smartphone applications designed to track our intake of calories will warn that the creamy pasta dish can push to our daily limits in a single serving, it still makes our dietary “cheat” list. Whether it is this one or some other so-called comfort food, we all crave, well, comfort. Certainly, the simple sugars and fat content fill our bellies. But isn’t its appeal more than an intentional nap inducement? It is a reminder of simpler times and fond memories of meals long-passed.

Whatever the root of our fascination, we seek the consistent redundancy of the familiar reassurance to calm when our lives overwhelm. As such, books, films, vacation spots and even favorite pants can serve a similar function. We inveterate channel-surfers will pause for a re-run of a long-cancelled sitcom to be reminded of an episode that we’ve already enjoyed a dozen times before. We know the plot – twists, turns and all. Yet, we hang on each scene anxiously awaiting the delivery of the next line. In a confusing and complicated world, it brings a long-sought sense of order. Does a false sense of omnipotence give us a false sense of control? Or, are we justifiably eager to pursue a venue to satisfaction that we know will consummate? With so many promises unfulfilled, are we right to seek the proven and shun the unknown?

Long days and short nights can wear us down. We work to make our way in a world that seems increasingly unfamiliar and unsettled. Change is at our doorstep and cannot be kept at bay. Some, we embrace.

Too much can overwhelm. If a bit of comfort helps us cope, let’s dig in.

R EA D E R ’ S V I E W Trump thinks his rule infallible Editor, I was confused by a reader’s recent attempt to cast her Trump vote as a vote for capitalism while framing the opposition to Trump as Mao-loving socialists (“The Cultural Revolution,” March 14).

Has she not listened to any of Trump’s rhetoric over the last two years? Our 45th president espouses a protectionist trade policy with flourishes of nationalized industry. He favors restrictive tariffs and other economic artifice over letting the global market self-regulate. In lieu of a system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market and consumers, in which the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government, Trump doles out favors and looks for kickbacks.

If this reader is truly fearful of living in a country in which “the religion of worshipping the state” is given primacy over all other things, then she voted for the wrong candidate for president.

Trump thinks the rule of the state – his rule – is infallible. He is a dictator. He uses the language of autocracy, of state nationalism just like Lenin, just like Stalin, and yes, just like Mao Zedong. This formula of insult, humiliation, domination, branding, enemy forming and name calling hasn’t changed since the Cultural Revolution; it’s just wearing a cheap red baseball cap that says “Make America Great Again” instead of the red-starred olive hat of the People’s Liberation Army.

Brian Sweany, Fishers

This is the time of year, folks, that I am perpetually exhausted.

As a parent, I’m tired of the humor dance and color guard competitions that I feel compelled out of guilt to attend. As a teacher, I’m overwhelmed by the fact that we still have two months left in the school year when I’ve been over it since the godforsaken time change three weeks ago. And as a mom, if I have to clean up one more muddy paw or footprint, you will probably find me apoplectic and naked in the hard liquor aisle at Meijer.

Enough already. Let’s just get summer here!

Seriously. Spring is stupid. The weather can’t make up its mind, one day snowing and the next a balmy 75. I can’t store away the parkas and boots, but I also have to have shorts and flip-flops at the ready. On rainy afternoons, I feel happy because I have an excuse to sit on my couch and do nothing, but then the sun will come out and shine on those show-off daffodils, and I feel miserable for sitting on my couch and doing nothing. Perhaps most significantly, all the sports worth watching come to end by midApril, and I’ve nothing to fill the void except U18 rec soccer, which more often than not gets cancelled because of lightening or funnel clouds.

True, my beloved Kentucky Derby takes place the first Saturday in May, and, of course, there’s a car race around here that people seem to like, but apart from those, why bother? Why can’t we just skip to July, bring out the heat and cold beer and get down to enjoying the best few months of the year? No homework battles, no early morning alarms and no plastic Easter grass to cut out of the Bissell. Because frankly, I’m just exhausted!

Peace out.

Teach your children Commentary by Michael VandenBerg Crosby, Stills and Nash sang, “Teach your children well…” Teaching is faith best when actively engaged. It can occur passively – more by caught than taught – but to ensure that lessons of the past are learned, they need to be actively taught. Too often, parents say they are “letting their children choose to have faith or not,” as though faith were simply another subject. Faith encompasses all of life, both this one and the next. When a parent chooses to avoid teaching faith lessons, the choice they have made for their child is to have them grow up without faith. God’s instruction to us is that, for life to be lived most fully, we must pursue his word not just sometimes encounter it.

Since all of life comes from God, he has something to teach us about all areas of life.”

Do you want your children and your grandchildren to live life at its highest level? Then give them the best that life has to offer. Teach them how God designed them to live. Teach them as they are watching TV, when they are walking the malls, when

they are at school, when they are playing video games or in the back yard. Teach them when they watch the news or the latest superhero movie. Teach them at the dinner table and in the restaurant. Teach them with their friends and with the elderly. Teach them when you do your taxes and when you talk about your job. Teach them as you encounter life’s trials. Teach them in the decisions you make while driving and while you watch a football game.

God has something important to teach them in every event, every hour of the day, and not just the one hour each week they may be in church. Life is God’s classroom.

When the lessons are learned, their lives will hold great riches and their days on Earth and in heaven will be lived in peace.

Your heart grows toward the place your money goes Commentary by Mike Colaw A few years back, I started investing in penny stocks. I don’t put religion my real retirement in penny stocks, but I was curious how they worked and why people love to invest in them.

One of the stocks I bought into was a drilling company in the south. Until I bought in, I had never heard of the company. After I bought into it something interesting happened – I started to care.

It wasn’t all that noticeable at first, I just found myself looking through websites about drilling every so often.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:21) When people read this verse they almost always think of it in two ways. First, they think it only applies to church stuff. It’s actually an observation of the human heart in general. Second, they wrongly walk away twisting what it says. Most people

think the verse states that you should give to the places that have your heart. That’s not necessarily wrong, but it’s not what this verse says. It is saying that your heart will grow toward the places that you place your money. Your money goes first; your heart follows it. We all pay things to take our hearts. It could be cars, technology, stocks, a house, clothes … you name it. If you are investing a significant amount of your resources toward it, your heart will grow that direction. This is good and bad news. The bad news first is most of us are growing our hearts toward trivial things.

The good news is today you can begin to grow your heart toward things that really matter. How? Invest in them.

Dangerous vacation reading Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen is planning our 2017 summer vacation to the Canadian Rockies. Back in 2007, we went to the Grand humor Canyon, the only place in America where you’re allowed to drag your kid to the precipice of one of the world’s deepest chasms, but they put you in the slammer if you feed a squirrel.

In the gift shop on the South Rim, the clerk recommended a book called — hold on to your hat (actually, hold on to anything you can) — “Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon.” What a charming choice for fans of light summer reading.

The authors do not restrict their colorful travelogue to unscheduled plunges to the bottom. They want you to know that with a little bit of poor planning, you can also die of dehydration or starvation.

Apparently, the canyon is safe if you are careful, but the book seems oddly misplaced in the gift shop so close to, well, the edge. There aren’t pamphlets relating the history of scaldings on the counter of McDonald’s or brochures about whimsical power-tool mishaps attached to your chainsaw purchases.

Other entertaining stories in the book include bear attacks, drownings and rock slides. Maybe I’m an optimist but I look at it this way: just a few hundred deaths in 6 million years. That’s not a bad record.

In one touching chapter, a man makes tea for his wife out of a deadly canyon flower, and they both die within minutes. In another, a woman tries to pet a mountain lion. An elderly couple got lost in their 1996 Taurus on a back road. They were found dehydrated, but still alive. They had no water but a week’s supply of Depends. I’d call that ironic.

Travelers from abroad love the Grand Canyon. Europeans winter in Arizona. Asians summer in the Canyon. Americans usually fall there. Approximately 600 feet. That’s just an average, though; your actual plummet may vary.

This summer, we probably can’t avoid dangerous cliffs, windy roads and harsh weather. But we will stay away from bookstores.

Thrasher earns DOW award

Dispatches Stark Consulting launched — Toby Stark, former Chaucie’s Place executive director, is launching Stark Consulting to work with nonprofits and companies of all sizes in the areas of public relations, crisis communication, media training, strategic planning, social responsibility, advocacy training and program development. Stark will focus her consulting work in Central Indiana but will consult state-wide and nationally as well. Stark Consulting can be reached via e-mail at tstarkconsulting@gmail.com.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Andrew Thrasher has earned a rare honor in his field.

The Noblesville resident, a chartered market technician and portfolio manager at Financial Enaccomplishment hancement Group, LLC in Fishers, was named the 2017 recipient of the Charles H. Dow Award for his research paper on “Forecasting a Volatility Tsunami.” The award is presented annually by Thrasher the Market Technicians Association.

“Each year they evaluate different aspects of financial research to determine if any are to their standards to receive this award,” Thrasher said. “Some years they don’t give it to anyone at all if nothing meets their standards.”

Thrasher will be presented with the award and a cash prize of $5,000 during the MTA Global Investment Conference, April 6-7, in New York City.

David Weekley Homes celebrates five years with Race Into Savings event — David Weekley Homes is celebrating five years of building homes in the Indianapolis area with the Race into Savings event. Buyers will receive a 5 percent home discount on homes purchased in the Indianapolis area

by April 23. Buyers can choose to build from the ground up, or select from a variety of move-in ready, or ready soon homes. For more, call 800-748-6219 or visit davidweekleyhomes.com.

Thrasher’s research paper provides a unique view on market volatility, providing a method for evaluating time periods that precede large swings in the Volatility Index and U.S. equity markets.

“Marketing volatility is a way to measure fear within the market,” Thrasher said. “So, when the equities are going higher, volatility is going lower and there is less fear of prices going down. I believe the way a lot of commentators and a lot of investment professionals evaluate volatility is wrong.

They believe that just because volatility is low that means it can go much higher. I think that’s a poor method of evaluation.

So what I argue is an alternative method of evaluating volatility.”

At age 30, Thrasher is one of the younger recipients of the award.

The Dow Award, which was established in 1994, recognizes outstanding research in technical analysis conducted by financial industry practitioners and academics.

Thrasher graduated from Purdue University in 2009 with a bachelor's of science degree in financial counseling and planning.

His wife, Abigail, is a Purdue graduate.

Blood center to open new site

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Indiana Blood Center has long operated a site in Fishers, but the address will soon change. growth New features and updates are on the way, too.

“Right now, I do know over the years we have had some really strong recruiters, and that brings donors into that donor center. Once donors come into the center, what keeps them is good customer service so donors continue to come back when they feel like they’ve been treated well and fulfill their goal to help someone else,” Blood Collection Manager Tajuana Ryder said. “When we can do that, that brings a return donor to help a person with their feel-good experience.

It’s up to us to create a positive donor experience.”

Ryder said donors can expect an intimate feel at the new blood center, 11003 C Allisonville Rd. “This new space gives more recognition to donor stories and patient stories,” Ryder said.

tions, but when a Kroger was proposed for the area, Ryder said it seemed like a prime time to move.

“At the time we were informed (of the Kroger), we were deciding to remodel the interior of the donor center, anyway, so we just went ahead and made the full move to stay in the Fishers area and continue serving the Fishers population,” Ryder said. “(The new space is) such a warmer feeling and inviting. It’s a more intimate setting for our center and some nice upgrades to the interior so people can expect a whole new look.”

An open house at the new center will be 9 to 10 a.m. April 13. For more, visit indianablood.org.

Airmail balloon exhibit now open

By Heather Collins news@currentinfishers.com Conner Prairie’s 1859 “Balloon Voyage” exhibit will open March 28. According to Brian Mancuso, director of exhibits, the 1859 “Balloon Voyage” family fun exhibit celebrates what’s widely recognized as the first airmail delivery. In 1859, balloonist John Wise in Lafayette, unsuccessfully attempted the first airmail delivery. According to Mancuso, nearly 15,000 people attended the lift-off of the hot air balloon.

The 1859 “Balloon Voyage” exhibit allows participants to explore the 1859 voyage, discover the rigors of airmail by balloon and get a closer look at all the work required to lift a balloon into the sky.

Tom Crouch, American aeronautics historian and National Air and Space Museum curator, assisted Conner Prairie in the development of the new Create-Connect augmented experience for the 1859 “Balloon Voyage” exhibit.

Conner Prairie’s 1859 “Balloon Voyage” exhibit opens March 28. The 1859 Balloon Voyage is part of the new Create-Connect experience at the museum. (Submitted photo)

The exhibit includes a photo opportunity and several interactive and sensory ex-

periences, including a scale that measures a person by how many party balloons it would take to lift them off of the ground. According to Mancuso, it would take roughly 3,000 party balloons to lift the average person off the ground.

The exhibit also includes a ride in Conner Prairie’s authentic hot air balloon, which lifts riders 350 feet into the air.

“It’s like the cherry on top. There’s nothing like feeling that balloon tug you up off the ground and tug you skyward,” Mancuso said.

According to Mancuso, on a clear day, the downtown Indianapolis skyline is viewable.

Special tickets are required to ride the 1859 Balloon Voyage. In additional to general admission, ticket prices for balloon rides are $12 for members, $15 for non-members. Symphony on the Prairie Balloon Voyages are $17 per member and $20 per non-member.

To pre-register for a group balloon ride or a private balloon flight, contact Conner Prairie’s guest services at 317-776-6000. For more, visit connerprairie.org.

Main Street Poke to bring healthy options

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Brinna Voege is only 25 years old, but the Carmel High School graduate has a decade of experience in the food service industry.

More importantly, she knows new biz she’s got a great concept: a quick-service, healthy food option where customers can customize bowls of rice, fish, vegetables and sauce.

Voege met her future business partner David Tang at Vitality Bowls, where Voege worked. While attending a training session in California, she tried a dish of Hawaiian raw tuna salad called poke, pronounced "poh-kay.”

“Basically, I ate poke the whole time,” she said. “It made perfect sense to bring this idea back to Indiana."

Voege is shooting for a May opening for Main Street Poke at 110 W. Main St., Suite 106, next to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang hair salon in Carmel.

A healthy poke bowl with fish, vegetables and various sauces. (Submitted photo)

She describes Main Street Poke as a similar set up to Chipotle. Customers start by choosing a bowl of sushi rice, brown rice or spring mix salad and then add fish, which can include shrimp, eel, salmon, ahi tuna and others. They can add vegetables such

as tofu, avocado, carrots, cucumber, green onions, corn, peppers or others and dress it with a sauce such as a soy sauce, a spicy mayonnaise, a hot sauce or a sweet sauce. Other toppings can be added, such as fried onions or Asian noodles.

Voege said it’s the perfect way to eat healthy but also have something that tastes great.

“I think the new trend will be people eating healthier,” she said.

Voege said many people say they want to eat healthy but wind up going through a drivethru because it’s quick and convenient. She said Main Street Poke will be an efficient way to get lunch quickly and eat healthy.

“It really only takes as long to make it as it takes for you to decide what you want,” she said.

If it’s successful, Voege said a location could open in Fishers.

Main Street Poke is hiring. Applicants can apply in person at the location on Main Street.

Blueprint for Improvement: Updated kitchen and living areas Commentary by Larry Greene

After

After solutions: The goal for these areas was to improve functionality and openness, maximize storage space and strategically design the aesthetics to feel continuous throughout.

1. The kitchen cabinets were replaced and now wrap around the kitchen, creating additional storage.

Also, a separate buffet area was added to include a beverage fridge and additional countertop space.

2. The countertops were updated to granite and an intricate backsplash was added. The new undermount sink, faucet and undercabinet lighting are perfect touches to add functionality and task lighting.

3. New durable tile flooring was installed in the kitchen, back hall and laundry room.

4. The wall between the sunroom and living room was removed to create one larger space. The half-wall between the dining and living areas was also removed.

5. To complete the continuous aesthetic flow of the entire open space, the fireplace was updated with the same tile used as the kitchen accent backsplash tile.

Before Background Info: These owners reside in the Parks at White River neighborhood in Fishers. They knew they wanted to update their kitchen and adjacent living spaces but did not really know where to start.

Before problems: The previous kitchen was outdated with tile countertops, dysfunctional storage space and insufficient lighting. Part of the bamboo flooring was missing due to a leak. They also wanted to make the adjacent living spaces feel like one connected area with the kitchen. A half-wall between the dining and living areas, as well as a full-height wall between the living and sunroom areas, were prohibiting this open concept. The fireplace also needed cosmetic updates.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The Dangers of Social Media During Divorce

Before Your Spouse Does DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW MEDIATION & COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law DUI 317.DIVORCE | www.hzlegal.com 11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

I can see what you see. The proliferation of social media has allowed us to share events with friends and family across the globe. Through pictures, tweets, status updates and a host of sites, a virtual travelogue of someone’s life is available. . .to everyone. In the world of divorce litigation, however, this has given rise to an entirely new method of collecting information and, ultimately, evidence to put before a court charged with deciding divisions of assets and custody of children. With the popularity of social media, the internet is filled with information from online profiles. Users who are unaware of the broad availability of this information to a former spouse or opposing counsel are posting at their own risk. With so much of what is posted being available to “share,” it is nearly impossible to control access to this information. Further, as part of information exchanges common to divorce proceedings, it is now common to request the entire history of a Twitter account or Facebook page, so even if your privacy settings would not allow the former spouse or counsel to see your account in real time, they will get to comb over all your pictures and posts to pick out those which can cast you in a negative light.

Tweeting evidence. That great picture of you and a bunch of friends doing shots before the concert received 62 “likes,” 22 “comments,” and 5 “shares.” Now it’s being presented to a Court to show that you left the children with a sitter while

you went out and got drunk. Fair or unfair, in the hands of an experienced litigator that post can speak volumes about your priorities, bad habits and even the quality of your parenting.

That “vent” about how the children would be so much better off if your ex joined the Peace Corps and vanished from their lives? It’s being presented to argue that you’ve done all you can to alienate the children. These are just examples of “normal” interactions through social media that, in the context of a contested divorce, can be damaging to your position and compromise your arguments to a court.

How is it used? The Indiana Court of Appeals recently ruled that witness testimony identifying a Twitter account taken together with the posted content was enough to authenticate that the account belonged to a criminal defendant without the identification of the account by the defendant himself. Of course, the most common way for that evidence to make it before the Court will be to have the actual person identify the account and the questionable position during cross-examination. Don’t let this be you!

The Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.
