Fishers Police Dept. releases CrimeWatch app

By Eric Kuznar • news@geistcurrent.com A new smartphone application available for download is designed to help innovation protect the people of Fishers.

Fishers Police Dept. Capt. Ed Gebhart and Auri Rahimzadeh, owner of Auri’s Ideas, partnered to create Fishers CrimeWatch. According to Gebhart, the application was developed to aid the citizens of Fishers and its police force, but also to increase communication between the two parties.

“Departments have to find different ways to communicate with the people we protect,” Gebhart said.

“The communication piece is pivotal.”

The application allows for citizens to communicate directly with police officers by sending realtime information, including pictures of an incident, as it occurs.

“So much of the technology is developed for after we arrive on scene,” Gebhart said. “I wanted to get the ball swinging in the other direction and arm our officers with the information they need before they step out of their vehicle.”

Gebhart sees potential for the application to eventually move out of Fishers and be adopted by more communities.

“Every agency could use this across the United States. There’s just nothing like it,” he said. “It is the first thing I am aware of that locks in community members with police officers on patrol.”

signer who met with Gebhart at Launch Fishers, handled most of the coding and technical aspects of building the application free of charge to the city.

“Ed came to me with a really cool idea of how do we connect the police with the community and report suspicious activity more quickly using modern technology?” Rahimzadeh said. “We sat down and made it happen.”

As a developer, Rahimzadeh sees the potential for growth in the application’s functions for both the community and law enforcement.

Walsh Construction Company workers have completed the demolition of construction the 106th Street bridge over I-69 in preparation of the planned new interchange at 106th and I-69.

Crews have begun construction of two new, two-lane bridges over I-69 by driving steel piles for the bridges’ foundational support and center piers.

Residents in the area may hear recurring loud impact noises as long beams are pounded deep in the ground by pile driving equipment.

When completed, the two new bridges will form an oval-shaped roundabout on 106th Street over I-69 while the interchange will also include ramps to and from both directions of the interstate. The project is intended to reduce congestion at existing I-69 interchanges at 96th and 116th streets. The bridge carrying westbound traffic on the north side of 106th Street will also accommodate pedestrian traffic.

The new Exit 204 interchange between I-69 and 106th is scheduled to open before the end of the year. The I-69 speed limit has been reduced to 55 mph near the construction zone at mile marker 204 and may be further reduced to 45 mph when workers are present. For more on the project, visit in.gov/ indot/3399.htm.

“We want to possibly add the ability to see all the incidents you reported and what the disposition was,” he said.

“This becomes more valuable over time because we can see at a glance where all the hotspots are.”

Gebhart The loading screen and logo stressed that of the new Fishers CrimeFishers CrimeWatch smartphone app.

Watch is not a substitute for 911. A red bar across the top of the app can be tapped to dial 911 in case of an emergency.

Gebhart said other police officers, the community, city officials, Mayor Scott Fadness and Police Chief George Kehl all played a role in getting the application up and running.

Fishers CrimeWatch can be downloaded on the Apple iOS and Android app stores for free.

Residents can provide feedback on the application at crimewatch.fishers.in.us.

FHS team places sixth in nation

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com The Fishers High School We the People team followed up we the people its Indiana state championship with a sixth-place finish at last month’s national finals in Washington D.C. “The kids wanted to place a little bit higher, but once we kind of saw what was going on … the national Paternoster coordinator said it was one of the most difficult top 10s in the last couple decades,” FHS social studies teacher and We the People coach Elizabeth Paternoster said.

“To get sixth was huge. The kids did great.”

After two rounds of Fishers’ six units performing their presentations, the field of 54 teams from across the country was whittled down to 10.

“The top 10 actually testify and perform their final round on Capitol Hill,” Paternoster said. “I think the greatest experience for the kids was testifying on Capitol Hill where many thousands of experts in their fields have done so. All sorts of famous people have been in these rooms. I think that meant a lot to the

Fishers High School’s sixth-place finish was its second in the top 10 in the past three years following a fourth-place showing in 2014.

In addition to the competition, students had the opportunity to visit the city’s collection of landmarks, memorials and historic sights.

“It was a really cool opportunity to see what we're actually learning about all the time just going to Capitol Hill and seeing all the courts,” Senior Dan Stevens said.

Divorce – What to Expect: The Benefit of Reaching an Agreement on Custody There are two aspects to child custody. The first is legal. Legal custody refers to the ability to have input on medical, educational, and religious issues pertaining to a child’s upbringing. Joint legal custody is appropriate when the parties are able to communicate about these issues and have reasonable discussions and disagreements that can be worked out. Generally, as long as the parents are able to communicate and cooperate with one another on decisions involving the child(ren) without a high level of conflict, joint legal custody is an excellent first step in custody agreements, both acknowledging the roles of each parent and investing both in the decisions presumed to have the highest level of impact of the children. The fact that the parties will not always agree, besides being an obvious component of divorce to being with, is not a reason to discard the possibility of agreeing to joint legal custody. The mere fact that the parties do not see eye-to-eye all the time will not necessarily guarantee that a Court would not order joint legal custody if the best interests of the children are served by that status. With an agreement, you have the ability to lay the framework out for successful co-parenting, beginning with this step. If the parties are at odds over even minor decisions and are at such a level of conflict that joint legal custody would be impractical at best and harmful to the children at worst, then either by agreement or order of the Court one parent would be vested with the final say in making any of these “major decisions.”

The second aspect of custody is physical custody, which is much more often the subject of dispute. Simply stated, physical custody refers to the home location of the children. One party or the other having physical custody does not presume any level of parenting time for the other parent. In fact, designating one parent as the primary physical custodian does not preclude the other parent from having parenting time with the children up to fifty percent of the time.. Along those lines, parents may create a unique schedule which satisfies the needs of their children and each other. Often, however, developing a parenting time schedule can be very challenging. When parties are unable to agree, the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provide a parenting time schedule that gradually increases as the children age, provides for a division of holidays, and time with the children should one parent live a significant distance from the children’s primary residence. It should be noted, though, that the Guidelines represent a minimum amount of reasonable parenting time

to be afforded to the non-custodial parent. Many Indiana Courts commonly award an involved, non-custodial parent parenting time in excess of the schedule provided in the Guidelines.

People often feel the need to “have their day in court,” believing that if the judge hears “their side of the story” the custody order will be in their favor.

However, in evaluating whether to ask a judge to make a ruling on custody and parenting time, the parties would be well advised to keep in mind that time in court is limited, and it is difficult to present all of the information believed to be important. A judge will receive limited information in a limited time frame, so choosing whether to have the outcome determined in this matter instead of an agreement requires serious consideration. This is not to say that such conflicts which arise should never be litigated. However, once you proceed to court, the final decision is out of your hands and the Court is free to accept your position, the position of the other parent, or a position unrelated to either based upon the evidence heard and the Court’s believe about what is in the best interests of the children.

If parties are unable to reach an agreement, Indiana Courts will focus on the “best interest of the children” and in doing so will consider a number of factors in determining an appropriate custodial and parenting time arrangement.

These factors include, but are not limited to, which parent has served as the primary caregiver; the child’s age and sex; the wishes of the child and the parties; the child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, and others; the child’s adjustment to their home, school, and community; and the mental and physical health of all involved.

There are a number of benefits to reaching an out-of-court agreement, including but not limited to, allowance for non-traditional work schedules and flexibility for holidays. When parties are able to communicate and cooperate on these matters, it is a win-win for all involved.

Memorial or remembrance?

Commentary by Rev. Michael VandenBerg For most of us, Memorial Day is a day off work, a day with family and a religion day to inaugurate the summer festivities.

It is also a day to remember those who have gone before us — laying the groundwork, breaking new trails, securing the old and paying for all of it. Jesus once said, “Greater love has no man than to lay down his life for his friends.� These men and women of valor we memorialize bought us the freedoms we now enjoy with their very lives.

These freedoms that have made America such a great place to live have done so at a great cost. Freedom, as they say, is not free but must be fought for and earned with each passing generation.

If we allow the government to tell people of faith where they can and cannot exercise that faith, it won’t be long before all will lose the freedom to believe. If we curtail the right to freedom of speech to one person, no matter how offensive it is to us, it won’t be long before no one will have that right. And if we allow the government to tell its citizens where and when they can peaceably meet, then they will soon control all assembling.

Perhaps it is time for us to cease memorializing our past and start remembering it. Perhaps it is time to remember the freedoms and their cost instead of simply the warriors and their loss. On Veterans Day in November, much of the rest of the English-speaking world is called to remember. For them it is Remembrance Day, a day for taking inventory of the freedoms we seek to preserve and not simply those who fought to preserve them. I know my father who fought in Korea, my uncle who fought in WWII, my great uncle who fought in WWI and my friends who fought in places like Vietnam, Cambodia, Afghanistan and Iraq would rather we remember the freedoms they fought so hard to preserve and not simply their contributions in preserving them.

The Apostle James told the followers of Jesus, “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.� If we want to be free, if we want to be great, if we want to be just, then be humble before God and remember.

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 more than 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.

Community partners provide for Teaching Garden at Harrison Hill Elementary

More than just a school

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Harrison Hill Elementary School in Lawrence has a new outlet from which its approximately 720 students can learn cover story more about science, horticulture and food.

The school is one of the latest to receive an American Heart Association Teaching Garden — a collection of nine raised beds right outside the building, financed, built and planted by volunteers from Roche Diagnostics with help from Harrison Hill students.

Harrison Hill’s garden is the 401st American Heart Association Teaching Garden nationally, the 12th in Central Indiana and third in the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township — joining gardens at Brook Park and Skiles Test elementary schools.

“This really has been a dream of ours since we started our community work,” Harrison Hill Principal Natalie Stewart said during the garden’s grand opening and planting day May 13.

Tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, eggplants, cucumber, zucchini, watermelon, basil, oregano, thyme and mint were among the plants put into the garden, which organizers at the school hope inspires children to try more vegetables in addition to offering education opportunities.

“It's been a great relationship with Roche and the American Heart Association trying to teach kids how to eat healthy, think (healthier) and learn about how things are grown,” Harrison Hill’s school community liaison Neal Gore said. “When you grow it, you might want to try

it. Kids might say, 'I helped grow this. I want to try it.'”

Each classroom at the school will be able to utilize the new garden for their own grade- and age-appropriate projects.

“We started the learning process from the very beginning because we were already doing a project on gardening in our classroom, and Mr. Gore helped us learn about it with creating an indoor garden,” Lori Kirkland, a third-grade teacher, said. “So when this happened, it was just a natural progression. We were able to design the layouts. We've learned about the different herbs and vegetables, and we were able to help build this, and it helps us have ownership in it … I'm so excited, and the kids are so excited. There was nothing but grass here before.”

Neal Gore is in his second year at Harrison Hill Elementary working as the building’s school community liaison, a position that was created thanks to a student-success grant from United Way. “We gave them some ideas for projects we wanted to do — we do a summer school program, we do an after-school program, and then we do our family engagement nights,” Gore said.

Family engagement nights aim to utilize the building and make it more than a school but also a community center, offering students and their families dinner plus class offerings ranging from urban gardening, yoga and STEM Scouts to crocheting, cooking and tap dancing.

“We’re open as early at 6:30 a.m. providing services for kids, and there are nights we have classes that go until 9 p.m., so this place is hopping from morning until night. We work with the YMCA, we work with learning centers, we work with a program called Art With a Heart, so they all come in and do their programming, and they’re achieving their mission in our building with our kids,” Gore said. “I work in the community to try to develop ideas on how to work with our community, because our educators already have so much that they need to do for our kids. Taking care of clothing or food needs or housing needs, we want educators to not have to worry about those things, but they’re part of our kids’ lives. So we want to bring the community in to do what they’re good at, so those organizations that are working with issues of homelessness or issues of providing low-cost clothing or food — we want to work with those organizations to come in and serve our kids and families.”

Gore’s efforts are some not every elementary school is fortunate enough to provide — and they’re appreciated by Principal Natalie Stewart.

“We do a lot of community engagement, really different from a lot of ways other schools do it,” she said. “He networks, and he’s out in the community and tells everyone about how amazing Harrison Hill is and how they could come in and join in on what we have going on here. We’ve been able to build really strong partnerships, and ultimately, they benefit not just our kids, but the entire community.”

Could Clinton lose in Cali?

With the Democratic Party seemingly headed for the kind of upheaval the Republican Party finds itself in these days, we find it strange that Dem frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) has refused to debate challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) next month in California. Hold the debate, anyway, and leave her spot open? Just a thought. In our opinion, that would have been her chance to push forward her agenda in a way that might have united the core of the party. Clinton probably will capture the 475 delegates in the June 7 California primary, and that, it seems, will be that. However, any slipup by the candidate or her campaign could propel Sanders even more than ever imagined, and if he were to win the Golden State, that would be an upset of epic proportions.

••• The Republicans’ “presumptive” nominee, Donald Trump (N.Y.), has been fairly quiet of late. Media sources inside and near the Beltway have him meeting with campaign experts – even those of bygone eras – in a girding for the general election race against, we believe, Clinton. That being the case, it should prove to be a battleground, the likes of which we never again may see. When people question Trump’s fitness for the presidency – and this is no endorsement, trust us – we are compelled to point to his multiple successes around the globe and the fact that he is adept at hiring high-quality men and women to get the jobs done. We have to assume it would be the same with his cabinet.

Virtues and vices Commentary by Terry Anker We don’t talk much about virtues these days. And, the concept of vice has been turned into little more than the moniker for the squad of government enforcers assigned to keep humanity out of the gutter.

But, for centuries, we all would have talked, a lot, about virtue and even some about vice.

As soon as we humans could spend a bit of our time doing more than trying to stay alive, we have mused on those conditions of being that could help us to become the best that we might be. Plato, Shakespeare, Confucius, Mohamed and Jesus Christ were all among the voices guiding and challenging our thinking – helping us to frame those characteristics most likely to put us on the path to an ethical and soul-fulfilling life.

Prudence, justice, temperance and courage framed the classical understanding of virtue.

Vice, likewise morphing across time and continent, has more-or-less been settled

as defined as something degrading society or the social order. Closer to home, it is accepted as something degrading to our own health and wellbeing.

With shifting morays, our understanding of virtue and vice has likewise been reconsidered. Yet, in recent years, we seem to shun the concepts. Perhaps, our desire to be perceived as open-minded has led us to avoid the tags at all cost. Too often, we refuse to pursue virtue for fear that it might alienate others who fail to see the value in the characteristics. And, we eschew labeling our actions as vices thinking having standards somehow makes us close minded. Shouldn’t we embrace the character traits that matter and understand why? And, shouldn’t we order our lives correspondingly?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K Givers have to set limits because takers rarely do.

– Henry Ford

Prison is tough, for inmates at least. My husband and I are rather enjoying our term as wardens. We’ve grounded humor our oldest, and he is seriously struggling to adjust to life behind bars. Attica!

Make no mistake, Inmate 7 is guilty. We warned him about keeping up his grades, and thanks to the internet, we can view them whenever we want. I couldn’t sleep the other night, so I did a cursory background check. Turns out our juvie hasn’t been keeping us in the loop. The following morning, we read the accused his heavily-amended Miranda rights, and then promptly threw him in the can. He received no phone call.

That first day of incarceration wasn’t too bad; he got work release for school and to drive his baby sister to dance. But then the weekend arrived, and his confinement took on new meaning. The complaining, whining and general depression soon morphed into desperate requests for shock probation.

Denied. Twice. He did the crime. He’s doing the time.

Then it got really interesting. Apparently word of his confinement spread quickly among his peeps, and we soon saw various attempts to break him out. While he was mowing the back lawn, for example, two would-be accomplices tried to jump our storm-swollen creek and pass him food (and shivs?).

He’s not in solitary, mind you. We let him keep his phone, which basically keeps him in touch with his entire posse. But the arguement of abuse is rampant. Physical labor, lack of junk food and restrictions on electronics make him think he’s being water-boarded. Sorry, Inmate 7. You’ll get three hots and a cot, and you’ll like it. Or not.

We don’t really care. In fact, it’s almost entertaining to watch him grapple with the knowledge that he did this to himself. Hopefully, he’ll learn from his experience and make smarter choices next time. If not, we have no problem Shawshank-ing his butt again. Some kids just take longer to figure out how to make parole, and he might be one of them.

Peace out.

Georgia on my mind Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We recently went on a vacation with our friends, John and Jane. John has a PhD in statistics, so he predicted there was only a 50/50 probability we’d all still like each humor other afterwards.

Some things make trips with other people stressful: too much alcohol, talking politics and driving recklessly. My wife said if I’d stop doing this stuff, the Murphys might travel with us again.

I’m paranoid about losing my keys, cell phone, passport and tickets. I continually pat my back and front pockets to be sure I have everything. The TSA agent let me walk right through security because he said no one on his staff could do a better job of patting me down than I had.

There were dogs sniffing suitcases at the airport. Mary Ellen was so convinced it was for explosives and not drugs that she made me a sizeable wager. Then, she asked an officer.

“The dogs are searching for explosives,” he said, “not drugs.”

“Oh, that’s great to hear,” said Mary Ellen … which led to a thorough search of her carryon bag.

In Savannah, I was pulled over by a patrol-

man for rolling through a stop sign. Savannah is laid back, and coming to an abrupt halt seemed uncharacteristic of the local pace of life. My passengers thought it was funny I was pulled over going 3 mph.

My wife, who normally takes law enforcement very seriously, was snapping photos of me talking to the officer, explaining to him she had shots of me being pulled over in 13 states.

I got a warning stating, “there were mitigating circumstances for the infraction,” which either meant I was a sightseeing and didn’t notice the sign, or he was cutting me slack for driving around with three goofy passengers distracting me.

Could we travel well with the Murphys again? John applied his statistical acumen to this question, factoring in all related variables.

“I can’t give you the specific odds,” said Dr. Murphy, “but chances are we’ll all have a better time if I do the driving.”

OneZone speaker to discuss walkable cities

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Communities with walkable areas are becoming more and more business popular.

“It was a theme we heard about when the four (Hamilton County) mayors got together ... They are trying to build communities that are attracting people,” OneZone President Mo Merhoff said. “Studies abound on why walkability and the ease of getting around is important. It goes directly to that sense of place that each of our HamLeinberger ilton County communities are trying to build.”

OneZone will present Christopher Leinberger, author of “The Option of Urbanism:

Investing in a New American Dream” and a professor at George Washington University School of Business, as a speaker at its luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 8 at 502 East Event Centre, 502 Carmel Dr., Carmel.

Leinberger will talk about the opportunities of developing socially and financially sustainable communities.

The walkable town centers include Carmel’s City Center and Arts & Design District, Fishers’ Nickel Plate District, Westfield’s Grand Junction and Noblesville’s Riverfront Redevelopment District.

Leinberger will share his insight on the challenges and opportunities in developing environmentally, socially and financially sustainable communities.

Nicole DelMastro, director of marketing for CloudOne in Fishers, said walkability was an important factor in selecting the CloudOne

headquarters, at 8626 E. 116th St., Fishers.

“The walkability in Fishers was extremely important as we chose a location for CloudOne’s headquarters,” DelMastro said. “In addition to the health benefits of a walkable community, we’ve found that working in an area that provides dining and shopping options close by is really time and cost efficient for our employees. Nobody wants to sit inside an office all day and then spend their lunch break stuck in traffic. Our team loves to walk to different restaurants during our lunch breaks.

Since our move to Fishers, we spend less time commuting and more time doing things that we love now that everything in the community is easily accessible. “ Luncheon reservations are due by noon June 6. For more, visit onezonecommerce.com.

Zika virus reduces blood supply

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com With travelers in areas affected by the Zika virus not permitted donations to donate blood for 28 days after their return to the U.S., the Indiana Blood Center is seeing an increase in travel deferrals that had left it approximately 500 units short in May. “We also believe donors who have traveled are selfdeferring, not even showing up to donate, because the deferral is so broad,” said Andrea Fagan, marketFagan ing director for the Indiana Blood Center. “Unlike malaria or some other travel deferrals that are specific to regions of a country, Zika is a blanket deferral, all of Mexico, regardless of where you travel.

Zika is a daytime-biting mosquito, as well.

This means that if you were on a cruise ship passing through an area of active transmission, you are deferred. It’s a very broad deferral.”

The Zika deferral began Feb. 16. Fagan said

being in the midst of long holiday weekend, it further weakens the supply as donors are doing other things.

To help with that, the organization gave away free Indy 500 Carb Day tickets to encourage donations.

“The need for blood is fairly constant, 550 donors are needed each day, and we have minimums and maximums for each type that we keep on our shelves in addition to that which we send to hospitals,” Fagan said.

Moli Hall juggles duties in ‘Scaler’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As if juggling her roles as actor and producer wasn’t tough enough, Moli Hall has been working alongside her father film and fellow producer, Dan T. Hall, on a new movie.

“Being both an actor and a producer on a project is extremely demanding,” Moli said.

“As a producer, I have to nitpick all the details of the film, including the acting, which proves to be difficult as I have to try to be impartial with myself, the director/writer, my dad and my co-stars, who have become great friends of mine. Learning to be unbiased with my own acting has been extremely beneficial in my growth as an actor. I’ve learned so much about acting due to being a producer and honestly critiquing my performance.”

Moli, a 22-year-old former Carmel resident who is now pursing acting/modeling in Atlanta, is one of the stars of “Scaler, Dark Spirit.”

The premiere will be held at 7:30 p.m. June

18 in the IMAX Theatre at the Indiana State Museum.

“My dad and I are extremely close, but also, we are both extremely stubborn,” Moli said.

“Occasionally, we would adamantly disagree on a line or scene, and I’ve had to learn how to let it go and trust his vision, as ‘Scaler’

really is his brainchild.”

Dan, who said he received great creative input from Moli and other actors, said it was loosely based on a paranormal event he was helping film.

“At the end, I included some footage from the actual event that kind of spawned all this,” Dan said.

Dan, who lives in Broad Ripple, had been filming a documentary on paranormal investigation in a St. Joseph’s, Mo., house a few years ago.

A non-practicing Catholic priest had purchased the house.

“He had started to remodel and something (paranormal) was released,” Dan said. “He thought he could control it, and I believe it was controlling him.”

The cast of “Scaler” also includes Fishers resident Dija Henry and her daughter Selah.

“It was an amazing experience as always when working with Dan and the rest of the cast,” Dija said.

Carmel comedian hosts Enchantment Ball

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Mike Gardner and his daughter, Helena, 5. (Submitted photo)

Mike Gardner has a special bond with his 5-year-old daughter, Helena.

The Carmel resident, a family stand-up comedian, has shared that connection while they travel around the nation to comedy clubs. They’ve enjoyed two elegant daddydaughter dances in Kokomo, where Gardner grew up.

Gardner said he believed it was time to have an event like that in Indianapolis, so he started planning the Enchantment Ball, which will debut at the Conrad in Indianapolis from 5:30 to 9 p.m. June 4. The evening includes dinner, dancing and carriage rides.

Gardner said the target ages are 3-13, but it’s up to the discretion of the parent.

“I really want to make it a night to remember for the girls,” Gardner said.

Gardner said the numbers might be low this year, but he sees it growing each year.

“It’s an awesome night for dads to bond with their daughters,” Gardner said. “A lot of my mail comes from single mothers

who say ‘I wish my daughter’s dad would do this.’ Women are naturally awesome parents, it’s kind of in their DNA. Guys have to try harder.”

The key for him is to be interested in whatever his daughter is, Gardner said.

“Right now, it’s dressing up like a princess and being a girly-girl,” Gardner said.

Gardner, 32, travels to comedy clubs and corporate events nationally.

“I’m getting big enough to the point where I can cherry-pick my gigs and travel less,” Gardner said. “She’s traveled with me on the road for quite awhile. Now it’s traveling for Friday and Saturday shows.

When I first started off, it was traveling two weeks at a time.”

Gardner shares custody with Helena’s mother, who also lives in Carmel. Helena will enter kindergarten at Carmel Elementary School in August so they will have to scale back their trips.

The cost of the Enchantment Ball is $169 per couple. For more, call 317-647-0909.

During the event, the girls will fill backpacks for less-fortunate kids.

The REN Foundation 1940s-era USO Show –The Real Empowerment Now Foundation, Inc., together with Jazz for the Health of It, and in collaboration with the Indiana Arts Commission’s Art In the Park program, is hosting its first joint community awareness event, called the “1940s-Era USO Show.” The event will be from 1 to 4 p.m. June 4 at the Visitors Center at Fort Harrison State Park, 6000 Post Rd., Indianapolis.

ISO to perform at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra concertmaster and violinist Zachary music DePue said he believes the audience is in for a treat with some upcoming performances.

The ISO will perform “Tchaikovsky’s Fourth,” with pianist Garrick Ohlsson, at 3 p.m. June 5 at the Palladium in Carmel. The ISO will also perform the concert at 11 a.m. June 2, 8 p.m. June 3 and 7 p.m. June 4 at the Hilbert Circle Theatre in Indianapolis.

“It’s a wonderful example of (Pyotr Ilyich) Tchaikovsky’s work,” DePue said. “It’s exciting. The second movement is a beautiful, full movement with an oboe solo and a bassoon solo with a real kind of a haunting memory, which is sort of foreshadowing of Tchaikovsky’s struggles in life. You can hear (it) in the music. The third movement is an alto staccato movement. It’s a lot of fun for the strings.

It’s quite charming. It launches into a fourth movement that is gangbusters.”

Of Tchaikovsky’s six symphonies, DePue said the last three are his most famous.

“Tchaikovsky’s ability to write melody and form and everything sort of culminated in these last three symphonies,” said DePue, who is in his ninth season with the ISO. “When

you listen to the first three, you hear him trying different things that will end up being used in the fourth, fifth and sixth symphonies.”

Ohlsson will perform a sinfonia concerZachary DePue, ISO violin and tante of Polish concertmaster. (Submitted composer Karol photo) Szymanowski.

“Garrick is one of the world’s great pianists,” DePue said. “He is amazing in every meaning of the word as a pianist, and as a musician and an artist. He also plays Chopin’s ‘Grand Polonaise.’ Chopin is one of the stalwarts in classical music. His ability to compose at the piano is unmatched. His piano music says so much. It’s an exciting program for us. I know the orchestra will be in top form having our music director (Krzysztof Urbanski) in town and having such a great soloist with us.”

Brew Bracket set for June 11

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ryan Coyle figures everyone enjoys a little tournament-style competition. So, why not bring that competition to the drinks craft beer world?

Coyle and Mike Sale, both Carmel residents, started Brew Bracket in 2010.

“The craft beer industry (is) booming and has been for the past five or six years,” Coyle said. “It’s almost tripled in size since we started. No one else in the county holds events like this where it is a blind, side-by-side comparison where patrons can find their new beers. We bring eight brewers head-to-head in tournament-style competition. It’s all the same category.”

Brew Bracket will host an event featuring experimental wheat brews from 2 to 5 p.m. June 11 at Tomlinson Tap Room at the Indianapolis City Market. Tickets are $35. A portion of the proceeds from Brew Bracket events are always donated to an Indianapolis-area charity. This event will benefit 100 Voices of Hope, a cancer research facility through IU Simon Cancer Center. Coyle said they have donated more than $10,000 to area charities.

“The brewers absolutely love our events because it gives them the chance to try new

things and find a beer that could be one of the staple beers in their system,” Coyle said.

Carmel’s Flix Brewhouse head brewer Chris Knott was previously an assistant and head brewer for the Ram Restaurant & Brewery in downtown Indianapolis, which has won three of the Brew Bracket contests. Coyle said it would be interesting to see if Knott can continue his winning ways at Flix.

Coyle said the event was previously held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

In addition, Coyle and Sale starting selling a Brew Bracket hosting kit, which costs $35, in 2015.

“People can do this at home or at the office,” Coyle said. “We’ve sold them pretty much all over the globe.”

The kits can be purchased at brewbracket. com, along with tickets for the June 11 event.

Cost vs. value in your remodel Commentary by David Decker One of the most common topics our clients ask us about when it comes to remodeling is the budget. People want to budget know what they can expect to spend on a remodel and where that money is going. Understanding how much a project will cost will help determine the scope of the project and if financing is needed.

When planning your remodel, it is important to consider how long you intend to stay in your home. If you think you’ll be selling within the next five years, you’ll want to look at any improvements you make as an investment.

With each project and home being different, it is nearly impossible to give a set figure on what a renovation should cost. That said, we can provide some guidelines to help determine an appropriate remodeling budget and understand where the costs lie. For a complete kitchen remodel, we recommend budgeting 10 to 20 percent of your home’s value. For a complete master bathroom remodel, we recommend budgeting 7 to 12 percent of your home’s value. Again, these percentages can vary a bit with each project, but this guide

can help you plan and understand the costs related to your remodel.

At The Affordable Companies, we work to make luxury affordable. That means we work with clients who have large budgets, as well as those who have more modest budgets.

Each project is individual and unique, and we work closely with our clients to create a space that fits both their budget and their lifestyle.

Are you interested in updating your kitchen and your bathroom? Do you have questions about budgeting and whether or not now is the right time to remodel? Schedule a consultation with us! We’ll talk about your home and your budget, and come up with a plan that fits your needs. Updating your kitchen or bath is an investment, but it’s one that pays dividends for years to come. For more, visit currentincarmel.com.

For a complete, master-bathroom remodel, The Affordable Companies recommends budgeting 7 to 12 percent of your home’s value. (Submitted photo)

Ruins of Castle of Dürnstein, Austria (Photo by Don Knebel)

Dürnstein and King Richard Commentary by Don Knebel Dürnstein is a charming village along the Danube River in northeast Austria, 50 miles upstream from Vienna. Its main travel claim to fame is an ancient castle that once held as prisoner English King Richard I, better known as “Richard the Lionheart.”

In 1188 A.D., King Richard joined Philip II, the King of France; Leopold V, the Duke of Austria; and other Christian rulers in the Third Crusade, seeking to take back the Holy Land from the Muslims. The Crusaders were successful in capturing significant territory, but were unable to retake Jerusalem, their primary objective. On his way back to England in 1192, Richard was captured by representatives of Leopold, who had been offended when Richard tore down the Austrian flag after a successful battle. Leopold held King Richard captive in a castle on the hill overlooking Dürnstein.

He was eventually freed when England paid Leopold a ransom of about 100,000 pounds of silver, twice England’s annual income at the

time. The money helped finance the construction of Wiener Neustadt (“New Vienna”) Today, Dürnstein, with fewer than 1,000 residents, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Austria’s picturesque Wachau Valley, famous for the quality of its wines and apricots. A sign on a street leading into town encourages people to climb the hill to the ruins of Dürnstein’s castle, where they can get a great view of the valley and learn the story behind the imprisonment of Richard the Lionheart. The sign notes that Leopold, called “the Virtuous,” was not able to spend the ransom money very long because, soon after being excommunicated by the Pope for kidnapping a fellow Crusader, he “fell from a horse and died unexpectedly.” In fact, Leopold died from gangrene after ordering one of his servants to hack off his broken foot with an axe.

Designer workshop series – The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics. Join the group for A Practical Guide to Beautiful Design at 10:30 a.m. June 21 at the Indiana Design Center.

Courtney Casteel of Courtney Casteel Design will present. RSVP concierge@ IndianaDesignCenter.com.

Microwave potato chips – Want a healthy alternative to potato chips? Try making them at home in the microwave. Thinly slice a baking potato, and toss lightly with oil. Lightly coat a microwavable plate with cooking spray, and lay the slices in one layer.

Nuke for approximately four minutes. Then, turn the chips, and microwave for two minutes more.

Let them cool and crisp up for a couple of minutes, and enjoy.

Whiten clothes – If you want to get your white, summer clothing looking fresh again, try this. In a basin of just-boiled water, add the juice of a small lemon. Let your white clothes soak for at least 30 minutes. Then, launder them as usual. For super-grungy socks or very soiled pieces, soak overnight before laundering.
