Residents speak out against I-69 and 116th overlay

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com On the evening of Sept. 10, dozens of Fishers residents gathered in Fishers City Hall Auditorium to hear the Indiana Departroads ment of Transportation’s proposal for a new interchange at 106th Street and Interstate 69 in Fishers. The project is estimated to cost $34 million with the City of Fishers contributing 28 percent and Hamilton Co. contributing 6 percent, respectively.

“This is a heavily locally funded project. We have the City of Fishers and Hamilton County, so we’ve got about $12 million of their own money in this,” Jeremy Richardson, design consultant for INDOT, said. “This is an important project for both Hamilton County and the City of Fishers.”

The purpose of the interchange is to reduce congestion at current I-69 intersections located at 96th and 116th streets, as well as improve traffic safety by reducing crashes in the area and allowing direct access to 106th Street from I-69.

“There is a lot of recurring crashes due to congestion on I-69 so it’s going to help with that congestion, help with that traffic safety aspect,” Richardson said. “One of the most important points is direct access to the 106th Street area.”

INDOT’s proposed intersection would consist of two, two-lane, oval shaped roundabouts on 106th Street over I-69 with ramps going in both directions of the interstate. The bridge at 106th Street would be demolished and replaced with two separate two-lane bridges carrying oneway traffic.

“One of things that makes the roundabout a good solution to this area; one is we’ve got roundabouts at Crosspointe [Boulevard] and we’ve got roundabouts at Hazel Dell and 106th Street,” Richardson said. “It matches the character of the roadway already. When we compare those seconds [of average delay] across the table for the other types of interchanges we’re looking at an interchange that functions very well with travel demand that has been forecasted.”

If approved, construction would begin in April and last until the spring of 2017. During that time, traffic at 106th Street would be detoured to 96th Street.

“We are building two bridges as part of this and we’ll have to tear down the old bridge,” Richardson said. “The 106th Street bridge crossing I-69 will be closing for the duration of construction. The duration of construction is from June 2016 to April 2017. The detour for that closure will be taking 96th and Lantern Road.

During construction we are able to maintain all lanes on I-69 during the day. We will reduce the speed limit as we go through the work zone,

but all lanes will be available at all times. We will have nighttime lane closures.”

While INDOT spokespeople assured the auditorium of Fishers residents that the construction would be beneficial, the majority of the crowd voiced concerns against the project. Audience members were given the opportunity to comment publicly with dozens voicing their concerns over what would happen to the communities on 106th in the area.

“I’ve seen nothing that justifies the impact that it’s going to have on houses on these streets,” one Fishers resident said. “We already can’t get out of our driveways. Tonight, to get here; seven minutes I had to wait to get out of my driveway.

We’re going to put another thousand cars on that road? Where are we going to put them?”

“96th street is a nightmare, 116th Street is a nightmare,” one Fishers resident said. “We know that, but I do not think that this is the answer for the highway interchange through a residential neighborhood. You cannot do this without taking some of these homes.”

Other residents sited that previous projects should be revisited before the 106th overlay be discussed, such as revisions to 96th and 116th Streets.

“When the intersections at 116th and 96th were being modified they had the chance to address the congestion issues and they failed to do so,” one resident said. “If we have $34 million between the two of you, why didn’t you do those two intersections properly? Now they are trying to offload this onto the residents of 106th.”

“You mentioned looking at alternatives,” one resident said. “All of the focus was looking at which type of exchange it’s going to be. I would have liked to have heard the considerations for the changes to 96th, the changes to 116th; why those weren’t options; why those weren’t alternatives.”

INDOT will continue to accept feedback regarding the project until Sept. 25. Comments may be sent to INDOT at rclark@indot.in.gov.

Fishers Youth Assistance Program helps struggling kids

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com The children are our future, but sometimes they may need a little help from the community to prosper. Fishers Youth support Assistance program is one of the organizations that is aiming to do just that. When some students or kids start to struggle either in school or life, FYAP steps in to impact those “youth” needing “assistance.

“What a lot of it is, is students or kids that are on the path of getting into trouble; might be going towards a life in juvenile detention,” FYAP Board Member Derek Todd Todd said. “They’re picked out by their school staff or by probation officers and kind of suggested to check out Fishers Youth Assistance Program.”

The FYAP takes various directions in helping kids in the community. Recently, FYAP held a putt-putt golf tournament fundraiser at Ben and Ari’s. Other endeavors include scholar-

ships, resources and funds to provide kids trips to camps.

“We might get a scholarship donation or someone might pay to have a student attend a camp,” Todd said. “If it’s a situation of domestic violence or the family is having money issues and the kids’ educations are suffering because of that it will be directed towards resources that can help them get the food and the clothing or the financial help they need.”

While much of Hamilton County already has YAP’s, Fishers is younger than others at only 18 months. Because of this, the nonproft FYAP is still being developed and in need of more support.

“In Westfield, and I think in Noblesville, the program I believe is subsidized by the cities,” Todd said. “They help promote it and they help raise money for it and I think potentially pay for some of the staff on varying levels. Fishers doesn’t do that so that’s just been one of our issues we’re trying to get over is to get some extra money to provide tutoring and mentoring.”

Mt. Vernon students produce TV show for community

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Students involved in MVTV at Mt. Vernon High School worked hard to create a video that displays information about the students and staff inside Mt. Vernon schools. schools The 30-minute show was broadcasted on NineStar’s Channel 9 three times, and will be rerun occasionally. Among some of the interviews included in “Inside MV” were Joseph Wilson, Fortville Elementary School Math T-Race Winner and Spelling Bee champion; Dr. Shane Robbins, Superintendent; MVHS’s Blake Miller, a water ski competitor; and MVHS Student Council president Emily Flemming.

“We believe that Mt. Vernon possesses some of the best and brightest staff and students in the state of Indiana,” Principal Bernie Campbell said. “Producing ‘Inside MV’ provides a wonderful learning activity for our students to showcase their talents on and behind the cameras. This broadcasting experience helps Mt. Vernon reach out to more the community that do not

have school-age students.”

Students decided they wanted to be at a different location each month, declaring that they would film at McCordsville

Elementary School for the October show. All of their shows will depict the talent and skills of K-12 students and staff.

The shows take on an interactive talk show format, and students all worked together to form a production crew, camera operators, an audio operator, a host and editors.

Yet providing a unique view to those in the community and being a good learning experience in general, MVTV helps encourage the kids involved to pursue a degree in television, like MVTV host, Xander Reid.

“Being the host of ‘Inside MV’ has been a very fun learning experience for me,” Reid, a senior at MVHS, said. “I plan on going to college to try to become a news anchor and this is a more than perfect way for me to test it and become better at it.”

Those who watched the show on NineStar or who saw it on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5U1Sqcf4rcgz_ v4gyl5wYA, are encouraged to provide feedback to MVTV@mvcsc.k12.in.us to help the students better their next production.

Fishers father creates online kid-safety resource

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com There has always been a natural desire for parents to protect their children. The problem with our rapidly changing era is that it can be difficult to ingenuity keep up with the shifting trends that kids can get involved in. A local Fishers father saw that while it is easy to identify a threat to your child if you’re aware of it, how would you identify it if you’re not sure what it could be?

“I’m thinking to myself, how in the heck do Michels parents keep up with all this stuff?” Fishers resident and parent John Michels said. “My thought was that of course if you know what you’re looking for you can just Google it and find it on the Internet, but the problem is that if you know what you’re looking for it’s prob-

ably already too late.”

Michels’ own concern for not being able to find a one-stopshop resource that educated parents on the changing, dangerous trends that kids could be exposed to led him to create his own solution; CarefulParents.com.

“What I was looking for is, first, is there is a place that parents can go and educate themselves on what their kids could potentially be into,” Michels said. “I had thought of this site that could be created that could go across different categories like drugs, texting, phone apps, video games, blogs, etc. where parents could go post content and then comment on postings; create a community of parents and be educating each other.”

The idea of CarefulParents.com is comparable to a hybrid of Pinterest and Wikipedia with the sole purpose of sharing and communicating on matters relating to childhood and teenage dangers.

“Right now parents can post on the site,” Michels said. “Once

they become members they have the ability to submit what we call ‘alerts’ which are the different [links] that are on there.

They can comment on the site just like any other news site.”

The program is free and allows parents to select on a category leading to several topics or alerts. For example, one category is titled “Saying.” Within the category lies several alerts regarding communication amongst kids, such as one titled, “28 acronyms every parent should know,” a keen resource for helping parents understand text message acronyms kids often use.

The site has only been live for about a month, but Michels is hoping that as awareness for the site grows, so will participation from parents.

McCordsville craft beer makers utilizes Northwest roots with Indiana ingredients

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com

The continuous supply of breweries in Indiana flows as fluid as their taps pouring the beer. While many of the breweries are advocating an Indiana style of brewing, cover story Scarlet Lane Brewing Co. in McCordsville is paying tribute to the Midwest while also incorporating its Northwest brewing heritage.

“We all kind of met in Oregon,” Scarlet Lane Brewer Simon Sothras said. “We were in this little town in Oregon called Eugene. I was brewing beer there professionally for about eight and a half years. Before that I made wine professionally. We were throwing around the idea of maybe doing more of a Northwest style beer and bringing it back to Indiana, where they are from.”

While Indiana brews tend to be lighter, Northwest beers typically are heavier. What gives the just over a year old Scarlet Lane the more Northwest feel is their hops, among other factors, while also incorporating Indiana brewing characteristics.

“It’s our hops selection,” Sothras said. “That’s the way we decide how thick the malt is. Normally northwest beers are more

Seasonal Beers Lord Henry Summer Ale Seasonable beer with crisp hops and light malt backbone. Easy drinking patio beer.

hefty, so thicker and darker. Like our Vivian Red IPA, it’s a blend of Northwest-style hoppy mixed with a true Midwest malt blend. It’s heavier for the area, but with the Northwest hops. Just the way we brew it. We’re fearless. We throw around ideas and we’ll test batch it and we’ll brew it.

For the ingredients, Scarlet Lane tries to keep the recipes as natural and local as possible.

“Anytime we use any ingredient here it is locally sourced here or organic, so if you see coconut it’s 100 percent natural coconut,” Sothras said. “If you see peaches or cherries or anything on the menu, it’s always straight from the grower and it comes to us.

Honey or blood oranges, like Eirik Bloodaxe; [we use] 60 pounds of blood oranges and 125 pounds of locally sourced, raw honey.”

Another unique factor of Scarlet Lane how it names its brews.

While Scarlet comes after the name of a former pet dog, all of the beer names are taken from a literary term.

“Our flagships are Vivian, Lenore and Dorian, but Dorian is ever-changing like Dorian Gray. Every beer is named after a literary term, so Lenore; Edgar Allen Poe, Vivian; Gone with the Wind.

Absolem was the name of the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland,” Sothras explained.

As opposed to locating in downtown Indianapolis, Scarlet Lane decided to locate in McCordsville as it was close enough to Indianapolis, but not mixed in with all the other breweries. Its convenient location provides proximity to downtown, but also to the Geist and Fishers area.

“We wanted somewhere that was not too far from Indy, but it’s more like a destination, like, ‘Hey, let’s go out to Scarlet Lane,’” Sothras said. “Up here; Noblesville, Geist and Fishers there’s not really any [breweries] going on. If you want to drive all the way downtown you can go visit a brewery, but it’s not really safe.

This way, you’re not too far from [Indy], not to far from [Fishers/ Geist].”

Currently, Scarlet Lane has its beers at approximately 250 locations in Indianapolis. Their onsite taproom offers its flagships as well as specialty brews. While it doesn’t currently bottle its beer, Sothras said the brewery might be chancing it in the coming seasons, but only with select brews.

“We’re thinking about planning it this winter,” Sothras said.

“Just the high end. Like the coconut stout would be high end. Our flagships, they’re high end, but come and get a growler of that. All of my beers are special, but you can get [Vivian] at a local bar. Go support your local bar.”

Scarlet Lane is also looking to host events at the brewery.

Coming in the fall, various nights will offer different events to guest to enjoy while savoring their favorite beer.

“Wednesday nights we’re going to have a pub poll,” Lea Newlin said. “It’s individual or you can bring teams in. It’s a newer game like a slight trivia but it’s a little more interactive. Thursdays we are going to do a movie night. $35 will get you a dinner, movie and popcorn.

The brewery can also be utilized for private events. Either the entire brewery can be closed off, of just a section for private parties to enjoy. As for food, guests can either bring their own or order in.

“What we have is a menu from a local restaurant in McCordsville,” Newlin said. “They have a select menu. I call it in and they hand deliver to us. We can order from Kinsey’s and other restaurants. You can have your own food and bring it in. We just basically want you to come in, have a good time, relax and enjoy yourself.”

Single-parent anxiety

F R O M T HE B A C K SH O P Exchange club gives back Paying forward is a wonderful exercise.

And so the Exchange Club of Lawrence, in the midst of celebrating its 45th anniversary, gave away corn at the Hoosier Outdoor Experience on Sept. 19 at Fort Benjamin Harrison Park. The club is comprised of many former and current armed forces members. It supports local charities, children and families in need, and servicemen and servicewomen. It also works to combat child abuse nationally through various fundraisers and sponsorship/scholarship programs. Its efforts are noble, and we salute the club on its multiple achievements.

••• Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) has demonstrated his ability to sideline unions in his home state. The other day, he said he would do the same thing nationally if elected president.

He’s among the large field of delusional candidates for which the GOP is rather famous.

••• Maybe we spoke too soon in awarding her the White House about 18 months ago in this space. Hillary Rodman Clinton (D-N.Y.) is hurting badly in polling among women. A recent Washington Post/ABC News national survey shows that while Clinton still leads the field of Democrats, “for the first time her support has dropped below 50 percent in Post-ABC surveys, with the biggest decline coming among white women.”

••• This should just about seal it for Donald Trump (R-Billions): No less an authority than actor Gary Busey has endorsed Trump’s presidential candidacy. OK, then, back to Dancing with the Stars, Gary.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Friendly or foolish

Commentary by Terry Anker

“Hello, Terry. I know it has been a while since we’ve talked; but, I’m surprised that you’ve not responded to my emails.” So went a message among the many stuffing my inbox. The problem is that I couldn’t remember a previous message – or for that matter, recall the person who sent it to me. Happily, my digital recall is increasingly more reliable than my physiological one.

With a few quick keystrokes, I was able to search the last decade or so of messages, contacts and appointments. There was no indication of any previous interaction.

Yet in a connected world, we meet so many people that I responded to the note begging forgiveness for my poor memory and asking to be reacquainted with the sender. Much as could be expected, I suppose, the exchange only led to a confirmation that the message was a cold call. In fact, there had not been an antecedent nor had I ever interacted with the supposed long-lost-friend who’d sent it.

The email originated from a far-off busi-

ness, one can assume, paid to arrange meetings for a payroll service aspiring to pitch their wares. Its familiar tone and intentionally deceptive admonishment effectively elicited a response. While one might be impressed by the success of the ruse, it led to my blocking any future solicitations from both the sender and the company hoping to connect. Perhaps the scorn originated in embarrassment for being susceptible but the exchange seemed to push past puffery into downright dishonesty.

As the World Wide Web has made our personal lives increasingly public, marketers and charlatans have ever more effective tools to enter our heads – and our wallets. In the modern age, what is the line between friendly and foolish? Thanks to the internet, when the barbarians arrive they be calling us by our first names.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K “When we’re right about one thing, we think we’re right about everything.”

– Jonathan Martin

Husbands are adorable, aren’t they? How they can love their families so much that anything that takes them away humor is cause for great suffering?

Take my Doo, for example.

Doo’s work requires him to travel periodically. Over summer, his absence is noticeable but tolerable. I’m still single parenting four children, but I don’t have to worry about homework or ensuring they shower. When trips occur smack dab in the middle of school week, however, it’s another story.

Last week was just such a week. In addition to teaching and doing basic mom stuff, I bore the full brunt of carpooling, disciplining, grade patrolling and calendar managing.

Suffice it to say, I was done, physically and mentally, by the time Doo returned.

But here’s the precious part. He truly believes his week was harder! That sleeping in a hotel room and having to eat alone in a restaurant is far worse than being a single parent. That being responsible for only one person . . . himself . . . is more taxing than making sure four short people are clothed and fed and mostly clean twenty-four seven.

His week was miserable not because of business but because he wasn’t with us. How cute is that?

Me? I could never miss my family that much. I would literally sacrifice our cat to have four nights of uninterrupted sleep in a legit bed that someone else has made.

I’d throw in the dog to enjoy just one quiet dinner, no dishes attached, with only a good book for company. Call me a glutton for punishment, but I’d even donate my first-born for six hours of driving, each way, if I could listen to whatever songs I fancy.

Doo doesn’t get it, and consequently, is unable to validate my anxiety, exhaustion and jealousy. I come off as a selfish brat who doesn’t appreciate her husband’s sacrifices.

In reality, though, I simply long for a break from routine (and to sample faux crab salad in an Applebee’s parking lot). But then, no one has ever called me “adorable” so I’ll just leave that to Doo. Peace out.

An autistic man helped save my faith Commentary by Mike Colaw I think everyone who is naturally a critical thinker comes to a place where it’s easy to be cynical. Critical thinkers are religion always looking for truth. Cynics take that desire and turn deeply pessimistic. They find themselves turning more and more from the pursuit of knowledge to parsing people’s words in endless debates. At some point the motive changes.

It’s no longer about a deeper understanding or love of knowledge; it’s about proving others wrong.

How do I know this? I was on my way to becoming one, especially about religion.

I really struggled with a few things, many of which others struggle with. Age of the earth.

The problem of evil. As an overthinking high school student I had a laundry list of issues with modern religion that had been presented to me. My pursuit of knowledge was quickly turning into cynicism. I started slowing in my pursuit of answers and just started dropping

doubt bombs everywhere I went, most notably on the age of the earth. This was my “Achilles heel” with religion.

Then I stumbled across a man named Dr. Hugh Ross, an astrophysicist and well-known author out of Toronto who happens to be on the autism spectrum. He had very interesting responses to some of my hardest questions.

Here is what amazed me most though. No matter how often people pushed back against his work, he didn’t bat an eye. I am exaggerating a bit, but sometimes it almost seemed like he didn’t know there were cynics out there.

Yes, once in an awhile he would grab an idea or respond to a thought, but only if it truly advanced his pursuit of knowledge. His ability to hyper focus in his work was extraordinary.

Wilson to sing career retrospective with ATI Trio

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Patricia Wilson, who has performed with the likes of Gene Kelly, Jackie Gleason and Bob Fosse, figured she had retired when she moved to Carmel five years ago.

Not so fast. music Wilson, 86, will perform in “Blame it on My Youth” with the Actors Theatre of Indiana Trio of Don Farrell, Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave. SW, Carmel at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 9-10.

“I hate to say it but I haven’t sung in about 20 years,” Wilson said. “I’m going to have to apologize for my singing I’m afraid.

I’ve been working on it, but how’s the song go ‘The old gray mare ain’t what she used to be.’ I think Don, Judy and Cindy will sing a lot and I’ll just do a couple or three songs from the eras that I was in.”

Wilson said she is looking forward to working with the dedicated ATI Trio, who she describes as kids.

“I hope I don’t let them down,” Wilson said. “It’s probably going to be my swan song.”

For Farrell, it will be a treat to be alongside Wilson.

“I can say personally, as well as professionally, that it will be a true privilege to share the stage with one who has seen and experienced it all,” Farrell said. “From her strong performing heritage that blossomed into being a respected actress during Broadway’s Golden Age through Hollywood and everything in between, Ms. Wilson is a true gem who enchants you with her charm, grace, and loveliness with exciting stories only she can tell — because she lived it!”

Collins is proud to call Wilson a friend as well.

“Pat Wilson is one of the remaining ‘troopers’ in our business,” Collins said. “Thank God she is still around to share her stories and talent with us. Her razor-sharp wit and humble persona make it a pleasure to work with her.”

Wilson got her first break starring in “Fiorello!,” as the wife of New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, played by Tom Bosley, on Broadway in 1959.

Wilson was a favorite of Richard Rodgers and performed as Nellie Flatbush eight times in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “South Pacific.”

“I met them (Rodgers and Hammerstein) quite early in my New York career,” Wilson said. “I did one of their shows called “Pipe Dream” which was less than their best success. After that they took over my career.”

Rodgers convinced Wilson to take on the role of Julie in “Car-

Dance! Lenape Indian Traditions – Oct. 3 from 1-2 p.m. Join members of the Lenape Tribe of Oklahoma at Conner Prairie as they bring their colorful dress, culture and dance traditions to life.

ousel,” which became her favorite role.

“I always thought I was a belter but he said I could use my head voice and sing soprano,” Wilson said. “My natural voice is both, so Richard Rodgers was absolutely right.”

Her many TV credits included “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Happy Days,” and “The Jackie Gleason Show: American Scene Magazine.” She also acted in movies, “A League of Their Own” and “The Nutty Professor.”

Wilson originally moved to Carmel to live near her daughter and three children. That daughter has since moved to Min-

nesota, but Wilson plans to stay in Carmel. She has another daughter with two children in California.

“I love Carmel,” Wilson said.

Wilson’s autobiography “Yesterday’s Mashed Potatoes: The Fabulous Life of a Happy Has-Been” was published in 2009.

Wilson’s show will kick off ATI’s Cabaret Series, sponsored by Coots, Henke & Wheeler. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 on the day of the show. For more information, visit atistage.org.

Headless Horseman – Conner Prairie is hosting the annual Headless Horseman event Oct. 9-11, 15-18, 22-25 from 6-9 p.m. Bring the family to Conner Scairie, a haunted land inhabited by fun-loving ghouls all vying for your vote to be elected mayor after their former leader, Lord Moldywart, accidentally turned himself into a cute, fuzzy bunny with an errant spell.

Come to Across the Arts

“Gatsby” coming to Indiana

Commentary by Amy Pauszek

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

It isn’t often that the public has a chance to meet successful celebrity profesevent sionals from Across the Arts all under one roof, and help a worthy charity mission at the same time.

But the evolution of the WriteStuff Writers Conferences has grown and I am honored to be apart of this wonderful, fun event that will host New York authors, filmmakers, artists and musicians, as well as regional and local talent on Oct. 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Crosspoint Church on Olio Road in Fishers. A portion of every ticket will benefit the Crosspoint Church “Care Project,“ which delivers all the grocery items to create a special holiday meal for Fishers families in need.

Debby Knox, news anchor CBS4, will once again host the event along with Kelly Vaughn, WHMB-TV 40 in Noblesville and Andy Murphy, author and Founder of the WriteStuff Writers and “Where’s Amy?” (me!) will serve as moderators on the various panels and personal interviews in the Writers Studio. I am especially excited that we will be presenting Skype sessions with Award-Winning LA filmmakers.

The day also includes the fun event

“The Great Gatsby,” the classic by F. Scott Fitzgerald that was performance adapted into two movies will come to a professional Indiana stage for the first time, Sept.

20- Oct. 25 at the Indiana Reparatory Theatre. “‘The Great Gatsby’ is such a perfect season opener for us, because it celebrates the American character in all its many facets: our sense of striving for success, our belief in our ability to reinvent ourselves, our resilience in the face of obstacles, our national belief in romance,” stated Janet Allen, IRT executive artistic director. “It provides thrilling challenges for artists to create Fitzgerald’s iconic images and characters vigorously on the stage.”

Many special events will take place over the course of the production, including an opening night party where those who attend can come in their favorite 1925 attire, a ladies’ night out including wine and painting in addition to the production and more.

A press release on the production described it as “part heartbreak, part mystery, part war remembrance, part endless party, Adapted by Simon Levy and directed by Peter Amster, “The Great Gatsby” is the only

“Wait, Wait, DO Tell Me,” where the audience will team up with Debby Knox and celebrities to win fabulous prizes through local establishments.

I am happy to announce that the Mayor of Fishers, Scott Fadness will open the event by presenting the WriteStuff Writers with a Proclamation to start the day.

Thanks to Reynolds Farm Equipment of Fishers and the beautiful Cambria Suites Hotel in Noblesville, there will be a “meet and greet VIP Experience” (open to the public) the night before (Oct. 2) from 7-9 p.m. For tickets and more, visit writestuffwriters.com.

The Carmel International Arts Festival has come a long way since its beginning nearly two decades ago on performances the City Square, and the festival’s new president is hoping to continue building on that strong foundation at this year’s event.

More than 130 juried artists will display their work beginning at 10 a.m. Sept. 26 and Sept. 27 during the 18th annual festival. The family-friendly event takes place in the Carmel Arts and Design District, where guests can walk the streets to enjoy art, live performances and food.

Dawn Fraley, owner of The Great Frame Up, has taken over as president of the festival after previously serving as chairperson of the artists. Rosemary Waters, who had served as Fraley president of the festival since it started in 1998, is now the executive director.

Fraley, a resident of Westfield, has brought about several changes, including a completely online artist application.

Musts for morning tailgates

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley We’re sure the younger generation won’t believe this, but once upon a time, all college and pro games started at 1 p.m. Tailgating was in its infancy then and basically consisted of only a sandwich, side and cold drink. There was no need to vary menus.

Today however, early games put tailgaters at the stadium in the early morning. Now they need a breakfast type pre-game menu. We’ve served everything from eggs and bacon, pancakes and sausage, to breakfast casseroles, but heating and cooking with multiple burners and an oven gets pretty tough for the casual tailgater.

Couldn’t there be something easy to serve and eat that brings out gasps of pleasure like “”Oh my!” and “Wow, this is good!”

Here’s a simple breakfast treat that replaces the breakfast casserole. It can be made the day before and reheated at the game and will bring raves from those that enjoy your tailgate.

Amazing Breakfast Muffins Ingredients: 4 cups shredded potatoes or hash browns, thawed, 1 small onion diced, 4 tablespoons butter, melted, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 12 links Pre-cooked JOHNSONVILLE® Original Breakfast Sausage, 6 eggs, lightly beaten, 1 cups (4 ounces) Shredded Cheddar cheese, 1 cups (4 ounces) Shredded Colby Jack cheese, 2 oz. cream cheese cut into 12 cubes, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, Chives or green onion to garnish Directions: Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

Prepare sausage according to package instructions, cool, and cut each link into 6 pieces and set aside. In a bowl mix/combine potatoes, onion, butter, salt and pepper; divide evenly into 12 greased muffin cups pressing mixture onto sides

and bottom of muffin cups. Bake at 400°F for 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove muffin tin from the oven and divide sausage pieces into muffin cups. Place 1/12 of the cream cheese into each muffin cup atop the sausage slices. In a bowl, combine eggs, cheese and bell pepper.

Spoon mixture evenly into muffin cups Sprinkle the tops with chives or green onions. Return tin to the oven and bake 13-15 minutes or until set.

Cool these muffins and refrigerate overnight.

On game day heat them on your covered grill or tailgate oven on a sheet of foil. Serve with French’s Dijon mustard with Chardonnay as a dipping sauce.

Why to add a foam roller to your gym bag Commentary by Mike Robertson

If you were to walk into a gym 10 years ago with a foam roller, most people would be wondering what it was for. It fitness might have looked like a foreign object back then, but today, people who add it to their daily routine can’t imagine a day without it. And that’s because, when it comes to relieving joint and muscle pain, foam rollers work wonders.

But pain relief isn’t the only reason that they’re flying off the shelves. In fact, there are countless other benefits that make the foam roller a worthy addition to any gym bag.

Injury prevention There’s nothing worse than being laid up after suffering a sports-related injury. Whether it’s a torn ACL, or something less sever, the recovery time involved can sometimes put you behind the competition. But, by warming up with a foam roller before and after every workout, you can prevent injuries and ensure that they don’t worsen over time.

Faster recovery If you’re faced with any downtime on behalf of an injury, using the foam roller to rehab these tender areas can help you heal up and get back in the game faster. Just remember to roll very slowly over the spots that hurt to prevent the pain from worsening. Also, rolling on the area a few inches above and below where it hurts is highly recommended.

Stress reduction If pain relief and injury prevention wasn’t enough, foam rolling is also a great stress reliever. So, if you’re bumped or bruised, or are simply having a rough go of it, hop on a foam roller. It will not only cure what ails you, it will also give you the relief you need to make it through a busy day.

Saw palmetto: Secret weapon for aging men’s prostates Commentary by Cory Black As men we really should take actions to take care of ourselves now for the future, not just for longevity but also wellness a fuller one with a healthy and active life. One area that is not especially glamorous but we need to think about, is our prostate.

A very effective natural supplement to support prostate health is saw palmetto. Extracts from the plant saw palmetto have been traditionally used by the American Indians as an herbal medicine for centuries and it is rich in fatty acids and phytosterols, a steroid compound similar to cholesterol. Unlike the cholesterol that comes with a diet high in saturated and trans fats, phytosterols that we get from plants have many health benefits.

Many issues with men’s health can be linked to loss of testosterone with age and its conversion to estrogen and other androgen hormones. One of the key benefits for men is that saw palmetto seems to inhibit the production of an enzyme called 5- alpha reductase, which is involved in the conver-

sion of the male hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. As men age, it is this androgen hormone that leads to conditions such as prostrate enlargement, often referred to as Benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The negative effects to health of BHP often involve urinary problems, from frequent urination to even difficulty of urination. Saw palmetto could be effective in preventing the condition.

Side effects are rare for saw palmetto and other benefits for healthy testosterone levels include greater retention of lean muscle, positive mood and improved libido. It’s a secret weapon.

Seek your doctor’s advice before taking any new supplement, especially if on medications.

If you think you have an enlarged prostate, it is critical to see a doctor for a full diagnosis to rule out prostate cancer.

Local Hallmark stores remain despite odds

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Indiana residents may have seen a disappearance of Hallmark stores around the state, but four locations that resilience have held strong are in Greenfield and in Fishers.

With three locations here in Fishers, Cynthia’s Hallmark is a family owned and operated group of Hallmark stores that still stand strong after a regional owner of more than 20 closed up shop for good.

“A lot of Hallmark stores closed this year and so people are finding that it’s hard to find their favorite things,” Owner Kelly Holden said. “We had 24 stores in the state of Indiana closed. A lot of them were Zionsville and Carmel and Noblesville and Nora. They were just all over the place.”

With all the stores closing suddenly, customers of Cynthia’s Hallmark stores were appearing to be next, but Holden says that her stores are here to stay.

“It was kind of a bad press for us, too,” Holden said. “Customers weren’t trusting.

They didn’t want to buy any gift cards because they were worried we were going to go out of business too, so we want to make

sure our customers know that we are here to stay.”

Holden, who has been in the business for 18 years, said her stores are able to keep up with the changing times compared to other Hallmarks in order to stay successful.

“We always changed with the times and they were just your regular store. I think you can tell by walking into ours; we’re not your

The art of choosing a timeless style Commentary by David Decker

Teacher of the Month!

ATTENTION, STUDENTS!

Send a 100-word essay (along with your school, name, address and phone number) about why your teacher should win the Market District/Current in Geist honor, to teacher@youarecurrent.com.

The winning teacher will receive a gift from Market District, and your classroom will be treated to goodies from Market District.

The deadline for nominations is Oct. 15.

Select neutral styles for permanent pieces in your home.

(Submitted photo)

Keeping up with design trends can be great fun. But getting too wrapped up in the newest looks can sometimes leave your home looking dated after the trends have indoor living changed.

To create a really dynamic look in your home, try and visualize the space in terms of layers.

The first layer is made up of the building blocks of the room, and includes elements like flooring or cabinetry. Consider items in the first layer “permanent” because they require a good deal of effort to replace. Keep in mind that simplicity tends to stand the test of time. For this reason, you will want to select neutral styles for these permanent pieces because you know they will have to last.

Each layer after the first will include items that are less permanent, and therefore more replaceable. Dress up your neutral hardwood floor design with a patterned area rug. Or bring color into the room by hanging wall art. It’s in the top layers where you can have fun, great creative and express your

personal style.

When it comes to implementing trends in your home, try to remember that less is more.

Colors especially seem to come in and out of style quickly, which makes it a little difficult to select a timeless look that features a lot of color. First of all, try to choose a color scheme that features a fewer number of colors. I suggest using neutral hues such as grays, beiges and whites for the major features of the room (walls, furniture, floors, etc.), and then accenting the room with small, colorful decorations.

It’s always exciting to try new things and try out new trends in your home.

The key to choosing timeless style is not going overboard with placing trends in every room of your house.

This incredible outdoor living space overlooks a wonderful community green space with wondering trails, meadows and an assortment of visiting wildlife. (Submitted photo)

Diverse materials pay off

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

We love visiting projects completed several years ago to learn how they have matured.

Most, like this foroutdoor living ward thinking Zionsville family, are visited on a regular basis for additional projects that are being phased in. Thrilling stories of how couples and families are thriving in their new spaces continue to offer inspiration for designing and creating new ones too!

This outdoor living space overlooks a wonderful community green space with wondering trails, meadows and an assortment of visiting wildlife. It makes for an amazing retreat for the surrounding neighborhoods and prompts this back yard to live larger than it actually is.

MATERIAL DIVERSITY Study the photo and notice the thought provoking material pallet … from the galvanized steel grill station with a travertine counter to the sleek Azek decking, rough sawn cedar pergola and riverbed stamped concrete patio. The bright colors and textures awaken your senses and drive a playful tone. Absolutely perfect for a growing family with happy

children and fun loving parents!

DECK. PATIO. Azek decking is our most frequently used material for decking. The tan color decking is nicely contrasted against the white risers on the oversized steps wrapping around most of the deck. It marries well with most materials and is coupled here with stamped concrete as an extra-large patio. Ground level construction makes it an easy transition for running kids and aging adults.

The stamped concrete patio feels very modern and accentuates a minimalist/clean visual.

It’s very easy to decorate with patio furniture, rugs and flowering pots. We could have easily built the patio with a standard brick paver, crushed stone or regular concrete.

Do you want to thrive in your outdoor space? Smart design and a diverse material pallet can help encourage that!

Hemingway’s Cojimar

Commentary by Don Knebel

Americans traveling to Havana often seek locations identified with Ernest Hemingway, who lived in Cuba off and on travel during the 1940s and 1950s. One of the most popular of those spots is Cojimar, a small fishing village east of Havana that became the setting for one of Hemingway’s best-known books.

In 1951, Hemingway began writing a short novel drawing on the colorful stories and people he encountered while fishing and drinking in and around Cojimar, where he berthed Pilar, his boat. Published in 1952, The Old Man and the Sea won the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Today, visitors to Cojimar can eat and drink in La Terraza de Cojimar, the seaside bar Hemingway dubbed “The Terrace” in his novel.

One of its pictures of Hemingway shows him with a young Fidel Castro, who won Hemingway’s fishing competition in 1960, the only time the two ever met. Another shows Gregorio Fuentes, the long-time captain of Pilar, who controversially claimed until he died in 2002 at age 104 that he was the inspiration for Santiago, the novel’s main character, and charged Cojimar visitors to talk to him.

A short walk from La Terraza is the neo-clas-

This year's event netted over $30,000!

Six Ionic columns supporting a stone ring surround a short bust of Hemingway, with a plaque saying: “In loving memory from the people of Cojimar to the Immortal Author of the Old Man and the Sea.” The bust was reportedly cast from boat fittings donated by local fisherman grateful that Hemingway had called the world’s attention to their struggles but unable to support the project financially.
