Fishers residents start political action committee for Fiscal Conservatives of Hamilton County

By Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com

A group of politically minded Fishers residents have joined to form a new political action committee, Fiscal Conservatives county of Hamilton County. The group will work to elect candidates in Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville and the rest of Hamilton County who they view as fiscally conservative.

The initial efforts will focus on the 2019 municipal elections but the group will Smythe provide endorsements in the 2018 election cycle.

David Giffel, a Fishers resident who has expressed concerns about tax increment financing, will serve as CEO of the PAC. Bill Brown, a 2014 candidate for city council, will be treasurer. Other members include former town councilor Mike Colby, former president

of the Fishers GOP Club Gregg Puls and Bill Smythe, a local businessman who ran for county commissioner in 2016.

Smythe said the group initially began to talk during Fred Glynn’s successful campaign for Hamilton County Council. Smythe said he supported Glynn because he’s a fiscal conservative, but started to think he and others could organize outside the party establishment. Smythe was inspired to run for office but lost to incumbent Mark Heirbrandt.

“What we learned from that experience is that the incumbents are well-funded and primary challengers have a difficult time raising money,” Smythe said.

Smythe said the PAC is meant to give donors a vehicle to support fiscally conservative candidates and help them win elections.

“The genesis of this group is to publicly announce we are looking for candidates that might be considering running for local offices,” Smythe said. “Frankly, we don’t know what to expect. We might get overwhelmed

or perhaps no one will seek our counsel, but we do know what it takes to run a campaign and wish to help anyone that generally aligns with us.”

Smythe said he knows Hamilton County is predominately Republican but, from his perspective, not all are fiscally conservative.

“Do we think there are not fiscal conservatives in this county? There are plenty,” he said. “Then there are plenty that are hardly fiscally conservative but continue to get reelected time and again.”

Smythe said he understands change doesn’t happen quickly.

“Political movements work best when done incrementally,” he said. “Believe it or not, some of us still do love our community and wish to contribute to it in a positive way.

We only wish to do what we can with what we have to work with.”

Youth to learn about Civil War camp at Harrison Presidential Site

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Ben Hyde is eager to learn more about America’s deadliest war.

“I really like to learn about the Civil War and what happened,” Ben said. “I think the kids, including me, are cover story really going to enjoy it. I think it will be really nice to learn about what our great-great-greatgreat-grandfathers did to change this country to make it a better place.”

Ben, 10, a Geist area resident who completed fourth grade this spring at Amy Beverland Elementary School in Lawrence, will be one of the participants in the Civil War Camp, a youth leadership camp, to be held July 17 to 21 at The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site in Indianapolis.

Ben's father, Charlie Hyde, jokingly pointed out his son was named way before taking the job as president and CEO at the Harrison Presidential Site Hurt 2 1/2 years ago.

“It wasn’t a board requirement or condition of the job,” Hyde said. “It’s really interesting to us as the home of the only president elected from Indiana that he has this great legacy beyond the presidency. With the Civil War Camp, ages 9 to 12 will be able to engage in that time period in a fun and engaging way. “ Harrison, who was a colonel and then a brevet Hyde brigadier general in the Union Army during the Civil War, served one term as president after being elected in 1888. Even later, he preferred the title of general to president.

“Harrison led from the front and was deeply respected by his men because he insisted on bearing the same burdens as they did,” Hyde said.

Hyde said David Pleiss, director of learning Braun resources, and Roger Hardig, vice president of education, designed the camp program with that in mind. Hyde said the students will participate in drills like the soldiers did at the time.

“It’s a very action-packed week the way they planned it out,” Hyde said. “Designing these units so the day remains very interesting throughout, they are being engaged mentally and physically.

With the 9-12 age group, we don’t want to be heavy-handed about it.”

The students will see artifacts from Harrison’s presidency and learn about their history.

Although this is the first Civil War Camp, Hyde said 19,000 school-aged children visit the site each year. The camp has been capped at 20 for the first year.

“We've noticed, as educators at the museum, it’s always good

to have time to reflect and time to get moving,” Pleiss said. “One day we are taking a walk to the War Memorial. Another day, we’ll be walking at Crown Hill Cemetery and visiting some grave sites there. We’ll have times with PowerPoint presentations, talking about different battles and what it meant to be a soldier every day.

One day we’ll have camp life where we will set up the actual style of the tents they used back then. It brings it home for them when they are role-playing and not just listening. They are taking in the information in a lot of different ways. The drilling will not be easy.

They will be learning teamwork.”

Carmel resident Stan Hurt, a Civil War expert who has been in re-enacting for 18 years, will help lead the camp.

Hyde said Hurt has been invaluable with his knowledge of music, games and medical issues of the era.

PERFECT FOR THE ROLE

Charles Braun, who has been a lawyer for more than 40 years in Indianapolis, took over portraying the role as the living history President Benjamin Harrison in July 2016.

“I participate in the major programs of the year,” Braun said.

“Sometimes, tour groups ask to be greeted by President Harrison, so I will do that from time to time. I have visitations in the community.”

Braun, a Geist resident for more than 25 years, said he was drawn to the role by his love of presidential history.

“This being the Hoosier president from the state of Indiana drew me to President Benjamin Harrison,” Braun said. “His family lineage is hard to beat. His great-grandfather (Benjamin) was a signer to the Declaration of Independence and governor of Virginia. His grandfather, William Henry Harrison, was the ninth president of the United States. His father was a congressman in Ohio. John Scott Harrison has the distinction of being the only American citizen in history to have a father who was president and a son who was president. The lineage is fantastic in terms of public service and patriotism.”

Braun will participate in the review session on the final day of the camp as Harrison.

“I firmly believe we should never forget history,” Braun said.

CAMP SCHEDULE July 17: Why Fight?

July 18: Military Strategy July 19: In the Field July 20: Day of Battle July 21: The Grand Review Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, and the cost is $250 for child non-members and $225 for child members. For more, visit presidentbenjaminharrison.org.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Happy birthday, USA Commentary by Terry Anker For 241 years old, you look terrific. Sure, you are not as young as you used to be. The knees may creak a bit and you may not be quite as far ahead in the race as you once were. But in many ways, you are at the top of your game. Your economic might is renown. You’ve worked hard to educate and provide for your family – and helped with the lives of scores of others not able to do it themselves. Maybe you’d do a few things differently if you had it to do all over again, but mostly it is turning out OK. Still, times are changing. And despite occasional resistance, you are changing with them.

Life milestones cause us to pause and take stock. We think about our decisions.

We think about where we sit in relation to our hopes, dreams and, honestly, to our high school nemesis! Are we falling behind, keeping up, or surging ahead? Yet mostly, the anniversaries push us to consider the future – to adjust and course-correct. Anyone who has taken a trip or two around the sun will tell you that regret accomplishes little unless it guides us to pursue a new and better tact.

Although most agree that our own nation is no longer adolescent, it is impossible to know where we might be along the way.

Young family? Middle-age? Twilight? Even as pundits debate whether the nation is on or off track, we might ask ourselves the same questions. Are we at peace with our past? Do we have a plan to advance? Time only moves in one direction – forward.

Happy Birthday, USA. We hope it is a good one.

Oh, say can you see Commentary by Amy Sorrells At 29, Mary Young Pickersgill couldn’t have imagined the impact of the stitches she pulled through the stiff canvas fabric.

She hadn’t been a widow long views when she was commissioned with the overwhelming order from the United States armed forces, so she recruited help from her daughter, two nieces and two free women of color.

Together, feverishly and late into the evenings, their eyes must have burned with the strain of working by candlelight.

Pickersgill couldn’t have known the 50-pound, 30-foot by 42-foot, 15-starred and 15-striped garrison flag would take nine men to raise over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, and that it would be the same flag Francis Scott Key saw flying the morning he wrote our national anthem.

She could not have known that flag would become the same flag waved by generations of little girls in sundresses, boys in baseball uniforms, troops in uniform and old men in seersucker pants all along the curbsides of American towns every July 4, or that it would be raised high at

Iwo Jima or above dusty hunks of jet fuelseared concrete in New York City, or over a baseball field of congressmen in Virginia a couple of weeks ago.

The British aren’t threatening Fort McHenry, which is what prompted Major George Armistead to ask Mary Pickersgill to make the biggest flag she could in 1812. And yet we are living in the midst of ominous, irresponsible rhetoric threatening our way of life.

In a letter to his wife Abigail on July 3, 1776, John Adams said of Independence Day, “I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration and support and defend these States…Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means…”

As we look to the flag this year, may each of us realize anew how every stitch we sew makes a difference.

Well, friends, it’s official. My transformation to Dance Mom, capital D, capital M, is finally complete. I am currently humor crying alone in a Midwest hotel room over my daughter’s jazz solo score. As I sit on the floor in between the beds, I am actually cursing the judges and blaspheming sweet baby Jesus because my precious little angel didn’t receive higher marks. I mean, seriously.

I’m not the 13-year-old here. What is wrong with me?

I’ll tell you what’s wrong. I’ve gotten sucked into this racket, hook, line and sinker. I’ve somehow come to accept the opinions of three strangers as truth, as the only legitimate evaluation of my child’s abilities. I’ve forgotten that this is but one day, one stage, one dance among probably hundreds of performances these judges will see. And more importantly, I’ve forgotten that instead of breaking out my mama bear claws and plotting revenge, I should be focusing on why I allow my daughter to compete in the first place – for fun!

Although I’ve been able to explain the difference between contemporary jazz and lyrical jazz for some time now (contemporary is sad and/or angry while lyrical is happy and joyful. Duh!), and I do admit to buying hairnets and false eyelashes in bulk, I’ve always labeled myself a “dance mom,” lower case with quotations. I mocked those silly mothers who clearly are living vicariously through their children and plastic adjudication trophies, who become so wrapped up in the dance world that they forget this is about the kids, not them.

Hypocrisy noted. And though I vow to stave off all future hotel hysterics, I fear my journey to the Dark Side is complete. I’m a Dance Mom. Peace out.

SAT JULY 22 | 7 PM THE PALLADIUM

My home office is downstairs, which was just a cellar when we moved into the house in the ’90s. humor We invested a little money to fix it up, so then it became a basement. I guess you could call it a finished basement. But apparently it wasn’t finished, because the builder we hired said that for a few extra bucks he could add some decorative touches and then we could call it our lower level. We didn’t have “that” kind of money.

Our original plan was to make it a beautiful room where we could entertain guests and sip white wine as we talked about good books and the current movie scene. Fifteen years later, no humans are allowed downstairs except me and the men from Orkin.

We have a pool table that I bought in l998 when I wanted to get my son interested in something other than video games.

He started playing video games of people playing pool.

I use the cue sticks to wrangle cobwebs from the ceiling. I can store our suitcases underneath, and the tabletop is the perfect

nesting area for a year’s supply of Bush’s Baked Beans. My wife said we’d never use the pool table. Geesh, what a pessimist!

Somewhere under boxes of paperback books and musty blankets is a futon. The cat sees the unit as a condo — two beds and a bath, if you know what I mean.

In 2000, I decided to learn to play the piano, so I set up an electronic gizmo called a clavinova downstairs. It can be programmed to mimic 30 different instruments, create background rhythms and magically produce chords. I only had to sit there and make each next payment.

We built a bar in the corner so guests could grab a cold one without climbing the stairs. But we never put in a fridge, as we planned. Behind the bar is our new sump pump. We’ll install it any year now.

I just told Mary Ellen it was time we invited some friends over to play pool.

But first, I have a whole lot of beans to eat.

Suite Escape Beauty Retreat has been recognized before, and Kylee Bond, founder and owner, said her salon has thrived despite being a small business.

Suite Escape Beauty Retreat is not only a hair salon but also a spa. Clients can get anything from facials to eyelash extensions. Under that same roof, Bond’s second business, Suite Little Muse, sells women’s apparel, accessories and some home goods.

According to Bond, she puts great emphasis on creating a satisfying experience.

“They come in and they want great hair and great service, but it’s how you make them feel when they’re in your chair,” Bond said. “It makes a difference.”

Although Bond has had success with her businesses, she said that it wasn’t always that way. She started out as an apprentice in a salon doing laundry, sweeping floors and working under stylists to learn from them. She started her first business with a partner in April of 2014 but eventually ventured out on her own rebranded into Suite Escape in February 2016. The boutique

was opened soon after that in September of 2016.

Bond said the key to business success is having a solid plan, being organized and surrounding yourself with positive people.

“You definitely have to have a go-withthe-flow attitude,” Bond said. “You have to have organization and structure but (also) have an open mind. You have to be open to learning and growing because every day is different. You have huge challenges that you have to get through, but it’s totally worth it.”

Stem cells work fast and long Commentary by Dmitry M. Arbuck, MD

Stem cells are special cells that repair tissue around them. They do this by donating vital parts, including science mitochondria to diseased cells and, if repair is impossible, turn themselves into new and healthy young tissue. This allows healing of virtually any organ.

Umbilical cord stem cells come from the donated cord blood of healthy newborns and, because of that, do not present ethical concerns. These stem cells also are not known to cause immune rejection or transmit genetic diseases. Umbilical cord stem cells are widely used to treat conditions in orthopedic and sports medicine, immune diseases and a whole host of other diseases and conditions.

Stem cells have special receptors that allow them to identify distress signals from suffering tissues and target the affected area. They even have special intelligence that allows them to differentiate what to repair first. After stem cells are infused into the body, they travel around and concentrate on the organs that are in most need of help. For instance, in

a patient with both muscle and heart damage, they will focus on repairing the heart.

Umbilical cord stem cells start to work within hours after infusion, secreting nutritional and immune-regulating factors, vascular repairing factors and cytokines which travel around the body, healing and supporting health. Even though this process happens very quickly, the most dramatic effects are seen over an extended time because the stem cells are multiplying.

When infused intravenously, stem cells initially concentrate in the lungs, and there they multiply in the presence of oxygen. Later they are redistributed back to the body. Lung disease patients respond especially well to IV infusions of umbilical cord stem cells because they start to build up first in the lungs.

The future is today. Please check StemCellsIndy.com for more information.

The fact is Nalli that in many states the individual insurance market needs to offer more health plan options at lower cost for Hoosiers. We need Congress to act now.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Timeless Meridian-Kessler kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions: The goal was to design a more functional and timelessly designed kitchen the owners could enjoy for many years to come!

1. The protruding peninsula was removed, shifting the main cooking area to the former microwave/oven location.

2. The kitchen was gutted to allow opportunity for taller cabinets, new countertops and a beautiful navy blue tile backsplash as a pop of color.

3. New wood-look tile flooring was installed as a durable solution for their canines. Another important design step was analyzing the lighting to create the best solution for both ambient and task lighting.

4. In the adjacent rooms, new bench seating in the dining space and new mudroom cabinets were designed, allowing the spaces to naturally flow from one to the next, while adding valuable functionality.

Before Background Info: This 1930s MeridianKessler kitchen had some functional issues and needed some overall improvements.

The owners were prepared to make these improvements when they recently bought the home, so they were very excited about getting the design process started!

After

Before problems:

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

With their love of cooking, the owners knew the function of the peninsula would not suit them long-term, especially since it protruded into the circulation path and crowded the sink.
