Local class educates adults

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Although Fishers Junior High School students might understand the U.S. Constitution through the We the Peogovernment ple class, but the City of Fishers discovered that its adult residents may not be as familiar with the way government works.

City council member Cecilia Coble and Robert Leming, instructor of Constitution 101 and the national director of the We the People program, paired together last year for the first Constitution 101 class. This year’s class graduated March 29.

“They’ve got adults in the Fishers community who have decided to give up six weeks and two hours a night to learn about the Constitution and government,” Leming said. “Last year, I started it for adults, and last year it was full. This year, I cut it back to 40 students to provide for a better classroom environment.

We are getting adults to learn about the Constitution. We have great topics, and I look at it as not just a conservative or a liberal point of view, but it is a mix.”

Another class is expected to be offered next year.

I-69 and Campus Parkway Milestone Contractors has begun mobilizing cranes and other equipment and setting a temporary concrete barrier wall along I-69 at Campus Parkway Exit 210. Work will require alternating lane closures on northbound and southbound I-69 between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Questions about the project should be directed to INDOT at eastcentralin@indot. in.gov or 1-855-463-6848.

From left, students Sherrie Schueth, Marsha Davis and Maggie Haley take notes during the Constitution 101 class.

“My husband took the class last year and I feel that it helps us understand more of the political system right now, and it really opens up your mind a little bit,” student Marsha Davis said.

“It gives you a picture of what the Constitution was designed to be and what it is,” student Maggie Haley said.

The class uses the We the People textbook through the accelerated course, and students from FJHS attend Constitution 101 and interact with the adult students. “(The class) gives you a picture of what the Constitution was designed to be and what it is,” student Sherrie Schueth said.

Do you believe?

Commentary by Michael VandenBerg Some say that seeing is believing. Others say there has to be intellectual proof for me to believe. Still, others simfaith ply feel within their being the proof that they need and believe.

Which are you? I say that believing takes an act of God himself.

Jesus did many signs and miracles in the presences of his closest followers and in front of the mobs that followed him and even the religious leaders of the day. Some believed. Others remained skeptical of Jesus’ claims and actions.

Then, as if to highlight everything he had said, taught and did, he brought his friend Lazarus back to life after three days in the tomb and tells Lazarus’ grieving family and friends to release him.

Surely, this would change minds. Just because it was unexplainable did not mean that what they saw was not true. It was not a simple parlor trick. It was right out in front of the grieving and accusatory family, in broad daylight. But rather than believe what they had just seen, the religious leaders dug in their heals even deeper and de-

cided that now Lazarus, too, had to die.

If this was not enough, as Jesus is preparing for his own death, he has dinner with his disciples one last time to address their fears of their own deaths and fear of failure. Their faith had grown, but in spite of all they had seen and heard, there was still a seed of doubt.

Jesus tells them that their hearts should be trusting and not troubled, believing and not so filled with doubt and fear, that he was going ahead of them to prepare a place in God’s house for each of them and that they had no reason to fear anything.

Do you, like they, still let your fears shout over your desire to believe? This is no blind faith, but informed wonder and grace.

Let Jesus’ assurances calm your fears and fill you with the hope and comfort of his Holy Spirit.

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.

Local fundraising business building new headquarters at Fort Ben

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com A Geist area business recently broke ground on a development at Fort Benjamin Harrison in cover story Lawrence.

Art to Remember, a company that makes customized products featuring student art for school fundraising, will move into its new headquarters at the corner of 59th and Lee streets later this summer.

“Unfortunately, the groundbreaking (ceremony) was canceled twice (due to weather),” Art to Remember owner Bill Boncosky said. “So, we’ve all just kind of agreed that we’ll do a nice ribbon cutting in the late summer when we move in.

Hopefully, we’ll be moving in the last couple of weeks in August and be ready to go by Labor Day. That’s our goal.”

Art to Remember helps primarily elementary schools in all 50 states raise money for art programming by taking children’s art and putting it on items their parents and family members can have as keepsakes.

“We make coasters, Christmas ornaments, coffee mugs, refrigerator magnets, etc.,” Boncosky said. “We have about 40 or so different products that parents buy where they get to have a keepsake of the children’s artwork while also helping raise money for art programs in their kid’s school.

“It’s kind of a low-pressure, feel-good fundraiser in that we don’t turn a school’s students into our salesforce. There’s no door-to-door sales or anything like that. (The student) just gets a custom, personalized order form with their name and artwork on it, and their mom and dad can buy stuff or buy stuff for grandma and grandpa.”

Art to Remember has been in business for 21 years. The business was started by Don and Jane Brackney in the 199596 school year.

“They grew the business, and I bought it about five and a half years ago (in December 2011),” Boncosky said. “The spring semester of 2012 was my first time in the business.”

For each fundraiser, the student typically creates a special piece of art. But this spring, Art to Remember is launching features that allow parents to upload prior art pieces made by their child to create keepsakes.

“We’re creating this concept of a gallery so parents can maintain all of their children’s artwork,” Boncosky said. “They can use this just to maintain the artwork and know it’s there, or they can create additional gifts from there. It also allows them to order during the school’s fundraising program or at a different time, when the fundraiser isn’t necessarily active.

Art to Remember creates customized products for fundraising efforts in elementary schools nationwide, featuring student artwork for parents and family members to buy. (Submitted photos)

Art to Remember’s Legacy Wall program reproduces student artwork onto tiles to be mounted on school walls.

We’ll test this with some schools this spring, and then we’ll have it generally available for the 2017-18 school year.”

The change will happen when Art to Remember moves into its new 35,000-square-foot headquarters, where all of the products are made.

“We make everything here,” Boncosky said. “I don’t make a coffee mug, for example, but I buy blanks, and then we print and make the final product here. The image transfer is all done here.”

The current Art to Remember facility is 25,000 square feet and is down the road at 56th Street and Macy Drive.

“It’s the end of our lease, and we could use more space,” Boncosky said. “Putting everything on one floor should make us a lot more efficient. Overall, it just gives us more space, more room for growth and to work with more and more schools every year and help them raise more money. We looked around a lot, for almost two years, for buildings to buy and raw land, and there’s not that much available out there.

"As we looked, we have a lot of employees that are on the east side of Indianapolis in Greenfield and Fortville, so the location made a lot of sense. I like a lot of things that they’re doing at Fort Ben. I think it’s going to be a neat place to have a business. We’re excited to be there.”

MEET BILL BONCOSKY • Career: “I’m a recovering lawyer,” Art to Remember owner Bill Boncosky said.

“I just decided I didn’t Boncosky want to practice law anymore and started working with a byside business broker named Jeff Smith, and he helped me find Art to Remember, and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.” Boncosky closed on the business Dec. 28, 2011.

• Education: “I’m a born and raised Hoosier from the north side of Indianapolis,” Boncosky said. He graduated from North Central High School and Indiana University and Indiana University in Indianapolis for law school.

• Family: Married to wife Lisa. Together they have a daughter, Maggie, a sixth-grader, and a son, Sam, a fourth-grader, and their dog, Clio.

Smalltown communities that host significant campuses have seen property values and incomes surge even as peer cities without the industrial locus of higher-ed have almost universally stumbled. Moreover, these places tend to see increased levels of education attainment. As the adage goes, folks are being taught to fish rather than being given a fish.

The long-term civic advantage of a well-educated population is thoroughly documented and acknowledged.

Indiana State Sen. Luke Kenley has offered a budget amendment to include capital investments into the campuses of Ivy Tech Community College to the tune of $40.2 million for Kokomo and $38.7 million for Muncie. Although not part of our own central Indiana region, it can only serve our larger community. The Kokomo facility was decimated by a tornado this past August.

Were it not for the Herculean effort made by students and staff, no learning would be occurring. As to Muncie, it, like all good things, has been a victim of its own success.

Thousands of high-paying Indiana jobs go unfilled because Hoosiers cannot access the instruction required to meet demand.

Investment in Ivy Tech will reap benefits far in excess of the expense for many years to come. Although there are numerous demands on taxpayers, investments in infrastructure, education and other areas that teach people to fish makes sense. Let’s plan the fish fry.

REA D ER ’ S V I E W

In favor of increased cigarette tax Editor, Every week we hear stories about someone overdosing on heroin. It is turning into an epidemic, and I am glad that our lawmakers are serious about tackling the problem.

Approximately 95 percent of people who are treated for addiction to opioids also are addicted to cigarettes. If we can help people fight the addiction to cigarettes, or even better, never become addicted to begin with, we will save them from a lifetime of chronic diseases and reduce their risk for abusing other

drugs.

That is why I am in favor of the “Raise It For Health” campaign to raise the cigarette tax by $1.50 per pack and increase funding for tobacco prevention and cessation programs.

Again, I applaud our lawmakers for wanting to tackle the drug problem, and let’s keep our children drug-free by increasing the cigarette tax by $1.50.

George L. Kristo Executive director Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs

I made it! I survived a 15-hour car ride through the night that included, but was not limited to, stream-ofhumor consciousness, high-volume diatribes from three teenagers; the constant threat of severe weather; an honest-to-God highway collapse; and a very early morning rendezvous with my husband Doo at the Atlanta airport car rental dropoff. I credit a poorly-made CD of “The Sound of Music” and the promise of sand and sleep for this miraculous feat of driving. Go, me!

Yes, friends, for the first time in five years, I am enjoying a spring break vacation with my beloved family (actually, I am missing one child, as she is a member of a militant color guard team and was denied leave.

I did consider staying to support her at their national competition, but after about three seconds, opted for vacay). Usually, because I teach in a neighboring school district with a different calendar, I’ve wallowed in Midwest self-pity while they frolic along Floridian beaches. But thanks to a unique alignment of Jupiter and Mars, we had the same week off in April. Woo-hoo!

So here I am, two days post-drive, feeling almost like myself again. I’ve slept for 10 hours both nights, already had my coralpainted toes in the Gulf, and unlike Doo and Boy Twin, have successfully avoided Fifth Disease-esque sunburn. And yesterday (gulp), we ate a real dinner, (tear) at a real table, (full-on weeping), all together!

Because that is what family vacation is all about - spending time with each other sans the distractions of the daily grind. Re-establishing connections that have been pushed by the wayside. And laughing at my terrible rendition of “Edelweiss” while making fun of Doo’s splotchy red chest. Peace out.

Costco has never been hijacked Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My Costco cart was laden with soft drinks, garbage bags, a snow tire and a year’s supply of salsa. I was humor in a good mood because I had managed to circle around several demo tables and inhale a dozen different offerings without being fingered as a “repeat sampler.”

The employee at the exit door looked me over head to toe. He was holding something behind his back. Could it have been some kind of breath-analyzer to detect whether I had eaten too much free food? He asked me for my receipt but never actually looked in my cart; he just peered at my list of purchases and then at me, which I think is considered facial profiling. Suddenly, he whipped out a yellow highlighter. Would I soon receive that sought-after stripe that squiggles down the list and shows that you have truly arrived? Actually, it shows that you have truly left.

OK, so what’s that stripe really for? No one checks your items. You could have murdered the lady behind the lunch counter for taking too long to serve your pizza, stuffed her on the bottom rack of the cart next to a

12-pack of Coors Light and you’d still proudly make your way to the parking lot with a yellow stripe on that receipt.

Truth is, the precautionary measures at Costco are far better than at the airport.

Recently, I handed a gate agent my ticket, showed her two pieces of ID, took off my shoes and was herded through a metal detector.

“You call that security?” I asked the agent. “Why don’t you guys put a yellow stripe down my ticket like they do at Costco?”

“Why do they do that, sir?”

“I have no idea, but they are very meticulous about it and everyone gets free quiche and egg rolls.”

I’m going to write a letter to the TSA recommending they adopt the Costco approach to security. They may think this is a stupid idea, but here’s the truth: At the Costco on 86th in Castleton, there has never been a hijacking.

Never run a marathon? Well, you can do it Commentary by Christa Robertson Regardless of your current level of physical activity, the idea of running a marathon shouldn’t scare you. But it’s a process. The key is to start fitness small and work your way toward endurance very gradually — and by gradually, I mean at least a year or more.

For those who are not so active, it’s a good idea to consult your primary care pro-

vider before beginning any new exercise program. Having said that, a good starting point would be to walk 10 to 15 minutes, three days a week. This may take several weeks, but when you do feel energized enough to up your routine, try brisk walking for 30 minutes, five days a week.

The next step is to incorporate running.

Combine a walking/running routine for a few more weeks before you increase distance and endurance. Then gradually build up to a weekly long run, from 10 to 15 miles

per week at a slower pace that lets your body adjust. On rest days, keep moving, whether it’s a casual walk, swim or bike ride. Endurance is about building distance rather than speed, and eventually you could be running 20 or so miles per week.

The right shoes Yes, you really need to invest in proper running shoes. Consultants at a specialty running store, such as BlueMile, will put you on a treadmill to analyze your gait and stride to recommend the best shoe for you. No matter where you shop, expect to invest at least $100 in a pair of shoes and replace them as soon as the tread shows signs of wear.

One more note: Don’t buy brand new shoes for race day. Wear the type and brand of shoes you trained in, and break them in a few weeks beforehand.

Mac n’ cheese festival comes to Hamilton County

By Heather Collins news@currentinfishers.com Hamilton County cheese lovers, rejoice and unite. Return of the Mac will hit Hamilton County June 3. food Chef’s Night Off and MOKB Presents have announced that Noblesville will be the next stop for Return of the Mac, a food festival dedicated to mac n’ cheese.

“I’ve spent the last four years working with the upper echelon of the region’s food scene and realized I had been alienating the average diner,” said R.J. Wall, festival co-founder and Chef’s Night Off Ambassador of Awesome. “So I thought and thought about what is the most loved food in America that translates well to a festival style event? Duh! Mac n’ cheese.”

Wall said he believes Indiana is a perfect state to represent the average American who loves comfort food.

“I’ll bet my bottom dollar that the lion’s share of Indiana’s population loves mac n’ cheese,” Wall said.

Return of the Mac co-founder, R.J. Wall, left, with celebrity chef and male model, Craig Baker of The Local. The festival will feature 25 mac n’ cheese cuisines from local restaurants and chefs. (Submitted photo)

Wall won’t be losing his bottom dollar.

It turns out Hoosiers really do love mac n’ cheese. Earlier this year, the festival soldout in Bloomington and Indianapolis, with the Indy festival selling out in less than an hour. Hamilton County will be the final 2017 stop for the festival.

“I think Hamilton County is an underserved market with a lot fun people and families looking to get out and have a

great time,” Wall said. “There are so many great facilities and an abundance of awesome, locally owned restaurants to work with.”

During the event, attendees can sample cheesy goodness from 25 Noblesville and north Indianapolis restaurants. The mac n’ cheese creations will be judged by a panel of local foodies who will determine the winner of the “Golden Noodle.”

Residents can vote in the Yelp! Crowd Favorite Competition. Some participating restaurants include The Local, Barley Island, Four Day Ray, The Coterie and Rail Epicurean.

Return of the Mac will be 1-5 p.m. June 3 at the Federal Hill Commons, at 175 Logan St. in Noblesville. The Federal Hill Commons also will host the Noblesville Main Street Farmer’s Market and a free concert by the rock band 16 Candles.

Tickets are $25 for general admission, $40 for VIP Early Entry tickets and children under the age of six are free.

Tickets grant access to unlimited 2-hour sampling. For information or to purchase

DNK Presents premieres film April 14

By Sara Baldwin news@currentinwestfield.com When is the last time you did something for the first time?

Danielle Walter Nolan and EVENT Kate Nolan, owners of Indianabased outdoor adventure company DNK Presents, ask their clients that very question at the beginning of each new journey.

Danielle and Kate are wilderness guides, certified mountain bike instructors, and Leave No Trace trainers, among several other certifications.

DNK Presents offers trips for men and women, but specializes in all-female adventures. According to Danielle, many women were coming on the trips and having big breakthrough moments while challenging themselves.

“The women who were originally hesitant to come on these trips were the ones

having more periods of growth,” Danielle said.

Danielle and Kate decided to offer a trip specifically for women who would not typically sign up for a trip on their own. In the spring of 2016, DNK Presents hosted

its inaugural women’s adventure contest in Indiana. Women had to be nominated by someone. Danielle said in a short amount of time, more than 60 nominations came in. Four women were chosen for a four-day customized adventure guided by DNK Presents.

The “Live Adventurously” film was made over the course of the weekend trip. The film follows the transformational journey of the four women and their experiences throughout the weekend.

“Live Adventurously” premieres April 14 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, in its outdoor amphitheater. In case of inclement weather, it will be in the Toby Theater.

Doors open for VIP ticket-holders at 7 p.m.

The film starts at 8 p.m.

Basketball legends Bob Knight and Gene Keady came together for a special, one-night-only evening at the Palladium, and Where’s Amy had “courtside” seats to cover the action.

The sold-out event was moderated by Bob Hammel, and everyone who attended loved listening to stories about the past Indiana University and Purdue University basketball seasons. The Jim and Barb Austin (Geist). one thing I took away from the night was that Knight and Keady both expected their players to perform well, and most importantly, graduate with a degree.

The two coaches had the crowd in stitches with their memories, and although they were rivals on the court, it was clear they both have a great admiration for each other and have sealed their legacies on the hardwood.

Blueprint for Improvement: Stunning laundry transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

Before Background Info: These owners reside in the Geist-area Anchorage neighborhood in Fishers.

They knew they wanted to update their laundry and adjacent powder bath spaces but did not really know where to start.

Before problems: The previous laundry room did not inspire the already tedious task of laundry for this busy family. The builder-grade cabinetry and outdated laminate flooring needed a fresh update in aesthetics and functionality. With the powder bath in proximity to the laundry room, the owners wanted the two spaces to coordinate and update the outdated finishes to reflect their style.

After solutions:

After

The goal for these areas was to improve functionality, update the aesthetics to the homeowners’ preferred style and strategically design the aesthetics to feel continuous throughout both spaces.

1. The washer and dryer appliances were stacked, creating more space for functional storage and work space.

New cabinets and granite countertops were designed to maximize functionality. One of the cabinets even doubles as a trash can and a clothes hamper.

2. A small drop-zone for shoes, coats and bags was incorporated into the design as well.

3. In the adjacent powder bath, a new vanity, champagne bronze plumbing fixtures and a mesmerizing light fixture add a beautiful elegance to that space.

The new cabinetry stain color in the powder bath matches the color in the laundry room.

4. For an added aesthetic that ties into other elements in the home, a reclaimed wood accent wall was installed and stained to coordinate with both the new cabinet color and the existing floor.
