Mayor presents 2016 Budget proposal

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com On Sept. 21 at Fishers City Hall Auditorium, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness presented the city proposed 2016 budget to the council.

The total operating budget was proposed at approximately $62 million with an operating capital income of approximately $6.9 million, totaling approximately $69 million for 2016.

Fadness discussed the city’s fiscal health indicating cash reserves are an accurate point of reference. Fadness said Fishers has attentive goals when it comes to maintaining its reserves, and the city well meets those goals for 2016.

“One way we measure our fiscal health is how much (we) have in cash reserves,” he said “The City of Fishers has long had a very observant approach to cash reserves. We require that we maintain 50 percent of the current property tax revenue as reserves. Not only do we meet our Fadness cash reserves at the end of 2016, but we also anticipate having almost $1 million additional surplus above what we even need for cash reserves. We’re doing very well in that area.”

Comparing expenditures per capita to surrounding municipalities, Fishers was the lowest compared to Carmel, Westfield and Noblesville, at $1,245.46 per capita.

“Again I think this is a statement about not only the efficiency but also the effectiveness of the employees we have. It wouldn’t be a great story if all we had was efficient,” Fadness said. “The great story is that we can not only do it for less, but we can provide a great service.”

Other figures covered in the presentation were past, present and future main sources of revenue, debt obligations per capita, city net assessed value and tax increment financing.

Other investments mentioned focused in public safety, parks, personnel and fleet. Fadness made note of the five-year contribution to revitalizing roads within the city.

“We knew that transportation is something on the minds of residents, and so we’re attacking it as aggressively as we can,” he said. “Not only are we

2016 operating budget by department. (Submitted graphics)

attacking it aggressively, we’re also doing it in an entrepreneurial approach. We are going after federal dollars, and we are leveraging our local money to bring in those federal dollars. Case in point, we have secured over $30 million in federal funding for roads and trails over the next five years. This is an ambitious program for any community. All of them are at least 80 percent paid by the federal government, and I think that is an extraordinary story to tell if we’re able to upgrade our infrastructure while leveraging our federal and state parks.”

Fadness said he hopes to continue in directing the city through the budget utilizing a “smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial” approach.

“For smart, I wanted efficient and effective public services and public safety investments.

From a vibrancy standpoint, we want to foster community connections and trails and roads.

We’re doing some new parks partnerships that we think will foster some additional vibrancy in our community,” he said. “And to be an entrepreneurial city, we’re doing this in a bit of an individual approach in an order of how do we not only deliver these services but our ability to partner with the state and federal governments.”

In closing, Fadness discussed how tax rates would be affected. While rates were estimated to slightly increase, they would return to the previous rate from 2014, making Fishers still one of the lowest tax rates of any major city in Indiana.

“What does this all mean to the tax rate?

General fund cash reserves.

Appropriated amounts by fund.

In 2016, we anticipate our tax rate to go up roughly 1.6 percent. Really what that means is in 2015 we had anticipated putting on debt.

So our tax rate actually declined, and now it’s going back to what it was in 2014. We are still the lowest tax rate in the major cities in Indiana, which I think is an extraordinary feat given the level of service and the amount of investment that we’re giving our community,” he said.

No action was necessary at the council meeting and city officials have until Nov. 1 to approve the budget.

By the numbers • Total estimated operating budget in 2016: $62 million • Estimated operating capital income in 2016: $6.9 million • Estimated expenditures per capita: $1,245.46

Indy DO Day comes to Lawrence

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In an event to help better the schools of the community, the MSD of event Lawrence Township will be participating in Indy DO Day this year from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 2.

The Rotary Club of Indianapolis leads the community event, originally started in 2013, with hopes to link community and neighbors Varie together. For Lawrence Township’s involvement, they will focus on the schools. Indy DO Day spans across three days, with Lawrence Township only participating in one of those.

Service projects will take place at 17 of Lawrence Township’s schools and the projects range in duties. Some projects include beautifying the school grounds and others include assessing elementary student fitness for grades four through six and building a sense of community.

Out of the 17 schools participating, Lawrence Township’s two high schools are not on that list.

“It is an opportunity to both improve our schools and build community,” said Kathy Varie, parent and volunteer in Lawrence Township. “All of Lawrence Township is invited to take part in this day of service.”

The goal of Lawrence Township participating in Indy DO Day is to help bring in connections between the businesses, community and schools.

Approximately 400 volunteers from local businesses will take part in the bettering of the schools and community, in addition to 200 seniors from Lawrence Central High School.

Supt. Bourff presents State of School address

State of the Schools was presented by Superintendents Dr. Allen Bourff and Dr. Nicholas Wahl to the Carmel and Fishers OneZone Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon on Sept. 16 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Bourff

Some academies developed throughout HSE schools have strengthened learning.

Why it matters: “The teaching and learning situation is much greater preparation for the world of work and college,” Bourff said. Bourff said that HSE high schools have partnered with more colleges around the state to provide duel credit opportunities for students. In addition to dual credits, Bourff said he plans on implementing satellite classrooms from the J. Everett Light Career Center into HSE’s and Fisher’s college career centers to result in making those centers greater for students.

Bourff introduced a pilot project for third graders and first graders of HSE schools.

Why it matters: Third graders will be taking two field trips to Conner Prairie, one in the fall and one in the spring. Between the two events, Conner Prairie personnel will be coming into those classrooms and working with the teachers to make sure those field events are intermeshed with STEM curriculum. Likewise, the City of Fishers will be working with all first grade students to provide a similar intermeshed learning experience.

Bourff spoke about a connection with Launch Fishers and a boot camp hosted this summer.

Why it matters: According to Bourff, the experience touched students and changed some’s career trajectory. Similar to the JEL satellite pieces, Bourff plans on putting satellite learning into the two high schools about Launch Fishers.

US News and World Report listed the 10 best high schools in Indiana.

Why it matters: Out of the 10 best, Hamilton County has four of those high schools, including HSE and Fishers.

Mt. Vernon pay-to-participate sports fee removal shows results news@geistcurrent.com At the beginning of the 2015 school year, Mt. Vernon High School announced it would no longer be charging a fee for students to participate in sports. sports The decision has had quite the effect on sports turnout as a result. Total participation in fall sports has increased by 20 percent.

Of the sports, cross country experienced the largest increase of 57 percent, going from 30 athletes in the 2014 season to 47 in the Ecker 2015 season.

“We are overwhelmingly pleased with the increase in the numbers of our cross country athletes,” cross country coach Bruce Kendall said. “We have surpassed the number of athletes we had before pay-to-participate. It has

The Mt. Vernon High School football team, the Marauders, added eight players this season. (Submitted photo)

been really pleasing to see so many seniors who came out who never had the chance to compete.”

As for other sports, football has seen an additional eight students, girls’ golf has seen two more players, boys’ tennis had five additional players, volleyball added five players and boys and girls soccer had four and one additional players, respectively.

“We expect athletic participation to have a similar increase in winter and spring, which will generate more two and threesport athletes this year,” athletic director Brandon Ecker said.

“There is no coincidence that participation in every sport increased with the $225 fee being removed; it is safe to say it is a direct relation. We are pleased we can offer athletic opportunities to all students without finances being part of the commitment decision.”

Mt. Vernon is anticipating the approximate $190,000 lost revenue from removing the fees will be replaced through new sources of athletic income, such as renting the schools’ facilities to sports organizations for tournaments and acquiring sponsorships.

WE’RE MAKING THE MONON A BUSIER PLACE. More people are walking, running, biking, and even skipping because of the outstanding care they received at our Franciscan St. Francis Health – Carmel hospital. From short-stay surgical care for spine, orthopedic and sportsrelated injuries to total joint replacement by nationally-recognized, highly skilled surgeons, we’re helping more people enjoy the Monon.

Our convenient physical therapy, cardiac testing, sleep studies, cancer care, breast health, colon and rectal health, family medicine, and same-day laboratory and imaging are some of the other services allowing more of us to enjoy everything life has to offer.

Shake off the dirt and step on up Commentary by Michael VandenBerg How do you face adversity? Do you give in, sit in a corner and wait for it to end? Do you blame others in hopes that it will make you feel better, but find it never religion does? Do you sink into depression and simply let the negative situation take over? However you respond, I want you to know that you always … yes, always, have a choice in the matter. While none of us can determine what life will send our way, we all have the choice to determine how we will respond to what comes our way. God made us creatures with freedom to choose and a free will to decide.

The fatalist will tell you that it is all settled and there is nothing you can do about it. The optimist will tell you that everything will work out, giving the impression it is all an illusion.

A Christian however will show you that no matter what comes their way, there is one who loves us so much that they will always be there with us, seeing us through both the good and the bad.

I heard a story some time back that illustrates my point.

A farmer owned an old mule that fell into a dry well and was unable to get out. After much thought, the farmer decided that it was just too dangerous and that neither the mule nor the well were worth the trouble of saving. The farmer called his neighbors and explained the situation. They all decided to help fill the well and put the suffering mule out of its misery. With the first shovel of dirt hitting his back, the mule began to panic and cry out all the more. After a few more shovels full the mule shook the dirt off his back and stepped up. With each shovel full of dirt the mule shook it off his back and took one step higher until he took his last step and escaped the well.

What seemed like it would bury the mule actually became his salvation, all because of how he reacted to the adversity and trials that came his way. That’s life! If we face our problems, respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness or self-pity, the adversities that come to bury us usually have within them the potential to benefit and bless us!

Jesus said, “I have come to give you life and give it abundantly”. Trust Him.

I Filed for Divorce. NOW WHAT!?

Once service of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage has been completed and your spouse has received notice that the divorce has been filed, it is often helpful for the parties to establish the “ground rules” which will govern certain aspects of their conduct during the pendency of the divorce. Issues that should be addressed are custody of the children, parenting time, possession of the marital residence, and payment of marital expenses. These issues are referred to as “provisional issues.”

If you believe that such ground rules are needed, a provisional hearing should be requested in your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Once you request the provisional hearing, the court will set the matter to be heard and notify each party of the hearing date. Frequently, these hearings are only scheduled from fifteen (15) to thirty (30) minutes, though there are instances in which a longer hearing is needed and that amount of time must be specifically requested. Due to these time constraints, it is often beneficial for the to parties reach an agreement on all provisional issues which is then submitted for court approval. There are a number of benefits to reaching an agreement rather than going to court, including: crafting terms of an agreement to meet your families’ needs; saving the expenses associated with preparing and attending a hearing; setting and/or maintaining an amicable relationship between the divorcing

parties, and reducing the stress and anxiety a hearing can cause.

In the event that you and your spouse cannot resolve the temporary issues, you will be required to attend the preliminary hearing. This can be a particularly important part of the divorce proceeding. Parties would be well advised to use the preliminary hearing as a forum to position arguments that will be made at the final hearing. However, it is important to realize that due to the fact that the hearings are often very short, the parties are often the only witnesses and their testimony will be limited to basic matters.

Therefore, discussing and preparing your requests with your attorney prior to the hearing is imperative. Following the preliminary hearing, the Judge will issue a provisional order that will typically remain in effect until a final hearing can be held. Often times, the order is provided at the conclusion of the hearing. After the preliminary hearing, parties will enter negotiations to reach a final settlement.

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

Murphy, Pauszek partner to celebrate the arts

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s only fitting Jeannine “Andy” Murphy and Amy Pauszek have the right stuff in their partnership.

Murphy is the founder and executive director of WriteStuff Writers cover story and Pauszek serves as an associate. Murphy and Pauszek are also partners in Ever Film Productions.

“I think we have a really great chemistry together because we have fun together,” Pauszek said. “We’re very serious about our profession, but we also have a great time together. We joked we’re like Mutt and Jeff because we want to entertain, and we want to have fun.”

Murphy and Pauszek, both Geist residents, will bring the WriteStuff Writers’ second Across the Arts conference from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 3 to the 350-seat Venue Theatre at Crosspoint Church, 13678 Silverstone Dr., Fishers. The conference features best-selling authors, filmmakers, producers, literary agents, publishers and the film commissioner. The Indianapolis Museum of Art will be represented.

“Our point is to let people celebrate the arts,” Murphy said.

Debby Knox, longtime Indianapolis TV anchor, now with CBS4, serves as the event moderator for the second time. Kelly Vaughn, of WHMB-40, Murphy and Pauszek also serve as moderators. There will be one-on-one interviews and then panel discussions. Michael Lawson, director of public relations from sponsor Reynolds Farm Equipment, a sponsor, is the master of ceremonies.

“We like to have a lot of interaction with the audience, so we like questions-and-answers,” Murphy said.

Murphy, the author of four books, has been friends with Knox since researching her first novel, “Bloodless,” based on a true story Knox had covered as a reporter. Murphy started the WriteStuff Writers workshops and conference 15 years ago.

Their first Across the Arts conference was held at the Palladium in Carmel in 2013. Murphy hopes to make it an annual event.

“We will bring you the top-notch people

in Current, is a public relations and social media specialist.

Murphy and Pauszek have made a documentary, “A Sign of the Cross,” based on the Sisters of St. Francis, 3rd order, Oldenburg.

Knox serves as one of the narrators.

“I’ve met so many wonderful people that I feel blessed that I fell into this friendship but also this partnership,” Pauszek said. “To me, Andy is a really great mentor. When I’m with her, I just absorb everything she says.”

Famous offspring Murphy’s own son, Ryan, would be a natural fit for the Across the Arts, but at this stage of his career he is way too busy.

“When he retires, maybe,” Murphy said.

Ryan is a film and television writer, known as creator of “Nip/Tuck” and co-creator of “Glee” and “American Horror Story.” Another series Ryan co-created, “Scream Queens,” debuted this month.

“I don’t know how he does it,” Murphy said.

“I’m working on two (documentary) films, and if I didn’t have this gray hair, I would be snow white. He loves what he does, and he has a lot of energy. He surrounded himself with a lot of talented people. That’s what I’ve done with Amy and Debby.”

in these categories because people want to come when I ask them,” Murphy said. “The Midwest sometimes doesn’t get recognized for having so much talent across. We do. We have wonderful authors. Michael Shelden lives in Bloomington. Julie Lawson Timmer lives right up across the line in Michigan.”

Shelden and Timmer are two of the bestselling authors scheduled to appear at Across the Arts.

Angelo Pizzo, screenwriter and producer of “Hoosiers” and “Rudy,” will discuss his latest

Next phase of trail work

Phase II of the Nickel Plate Trail has gotten under way on the portion to connect Ritchey Woods and Connor Prairie. This is part of the Drive Fishers initiative to improve connectivity. Drive Fishers believes Infrastructure improvement projects contribute to longterm vitality of our community and increased economic development opportunities, and it is correct. The trail phase is the next move toward all of that. The Nickel Plate Trail, once all phases are complete, will run from 106 Street through Cheeney Creek Park, offering residents safe and convenient access to the Nickel Plate District and surrounding businesses. We like that a lot. The trail will connect existing gaps between trails, and it will be ADA compliant with curb ramps and street crossings. All phases of the project are scheduled to be complete by 2020.

••• We were mildly disappointed, but certainly not in any way surprised, to learn unionbusting Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) dropped out of the Republican Party race for the nomination for the presidency. Seems Walker either was “too much too soon” for the party leadership or we were just wishfully thinking he really had a chance to make things interesting. We suspect he was advised out under the threat of having his spine removed, as was the case with so many before him.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Parachute pants and mall bangs Commentary by Terry Anker A close friend from college has become enamored with #TBT. Even a highly informed and well-read adult might wonder what is entailed in this au courant nomenclature. So please forgive the remedial lesson to those in the know but a hashtag (#) aids in categorizing information broadcast on social media and the letters (TBT) represent Throw Back Thursday, which is the day designated for reminiscing online.

The moniker usually accompanies a photo of the person making the post from a much earlier time in their life.

The pictures generally showcase one’s poor fashion sense, challenging coiffure, or dedication to an outdated fad. It seems the more embarrassing the reminiscence, the better. One’s parachute pants, Vanilla Ice-like lightning bolt fade haircut and Macarena dance moves might all be fair game. Nostalgia with a bit of self-deprecating humor guides the intent and no harm is done.

One of my college friends has taken to blasting the occasional #TBT with my name

attached. It is all harmless enough – even good, clean fun. However, in the 30-plus years since I last woke up in a dorm room, much has changed. For example, one of our compatriots from the 1980s generation took offense at a photograph of her featuring her “towering mall bangs” hairstyle. While the very engineering of her coif was impressive, she found it resurrected painful memories of a then boyfriend who’d eventually become an ex-husband. Politely, our friend obliged in removing the photo from social media.

But the self-imposed censorship invited a quandary. Who owns our past if we all have stock in a time and place that we once shared? Besides, can we legitimately hope to erase the reality of bad hair and cheating spouses? Maybe our focus should be keeping our contemporary life in order and simply let the past pass.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

– Thomas Edison

Life as a working mother of four can be chaotic. Throw in a lab that still insists on the occasional indoor poo, humor a slightly ADD husband who hunts, skis and plays in two fantasy football leagues and a house that is slowly but surely decompensating, and you’ve got a recipe for Crazy Lady Casserole.

As such, I’m hoping to forestall my almost certain stint at Perpetual Peace Sanatorium by finding ways to channel my inner Zen. And not to brag, but I think I’ve actually come up with a decent plan. I’m calling it Be Calm, Stay Calm.

First up in my Serenity Now strategy is yoga. I had to quit geriatric yoga a while back to cart my kids all over God’s creation of central Indiana suburbia, but now, thanks to voodoo magic and the alignment of Jupiter and Mars, my Monday afternoons are nearly wide open. I started again last week, and though I was awkward and stiff and as unbalanced as a newborn giraffe, after one hour I actually felt relaxed. My thoughts weren’t ping-ponging around in my head per usual, and the constant stiffness in my neck had dissipated. Namaste! My first step in remaining institution-free was a resounding success.

Next on the anti-cuckoo agenda is Church.

I fell out of the Sunday mass habit over the summer, partially because my spouse isn’t Catholic but mostly because I’m lazy. I soon realized, however, that despite the hassle, I kind of like that weekly dose of ritual and reflection. I don’t always pay attention, and I sometimes leave early, but I do enjoy that hour of sitting with my children and contemplating things greater than myself. Amen!

Another notch in the Keep-It-Together belt is claimed!

Finally, on a more practical level, I’ve hired a driver. Sure he’s only had his license for five months and actually wrecked his grandfather’s car four days after acquiring said license, but he’s relatively inexpensive and extremely flexible. Woot-woot! Here’s to outsourcing chauffer services to your oldest son!

So there you have it. My three-part plan for Sane Lady Soufflé. Peace out.

ZCHS choirs present Purdue Glee Club

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Purdue Varsity Glee Club makes its appearance at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, Purdue senior Austin Rauschuber will feel right at home.

“I’m so excited to be able to come back to Zimusic onsville to sing for my senior year,” Rauschuber said. “Zionsville is a wonderful town that raised me well, and I can’t wait to be back among friends and acquaintances on the stage where I learned to love singing.”

The concert with the Purdue men’s choir will start at 7 p.m. on Oct. 2 at the ZPAC, which is connected to Zionsville Community High School.

“My time in the choirs at Zionsville Community High School have helped prepare me for so much in my life, from my musical experiences to my professional experiences,” said Rauschuber, a tenor. “From my time in Zionsville’s choir program, I was able to learn so much about my voice and help to train myself to become a strong singer, when I had very little experience with how my own voice worked before coming into the program. The choir program also helped to train me to develop a strong work ethic and a great sense of teamwork.

In the modern collaborative work environment, it’s programs like Zionsville’s choirs that help set upcoming generations for success.”

Purdue’s Glee Cub, under the direction of William Griffel, features a versatile repertoire including gospel, vocal jazz, swing, contemporary hits, romantic ballads, classical choral selections, barbershop, folk melodies, patriotic standards, opera choruses, country and novelty tunes. The choral group utilizes small groups and talented soloists to further enhance each show.

The 90-minute show will include a combined song with Zionsville Show Choirs, Royalaires and Choralaires. Together they will sing the “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”

“This is an excellent opportunity, for our students, to work with a collegiate choir,” said Deana Broge, who directs the choirs with Aaron Coates. “Our students will have a rehearsal with the Glee Club and their director, Bill Griffel, have dinner with them and then get to watch them perform.”

Broge was formerly a director of the Purduettes.

“Yes, there is a certain amount of nostalgia in hosting the Purdue Varsity Glee Club at Zionsville Community High School, but the best reason to host this fundraising concert is to have 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.

Experience a combination of pow-wow and social dances, discover the meaning of the songs and traditions and join the dancers in their rhythmic steps. For more, visit connerprairie.org.

some area Purdue students back home,” Broge said.

Joining Rauschuber are five students from Hamilton County, including two Hamilton Southeastern High School graduates, Trevor Peters and Rob Mantock.

The others are Aaron Corbett, Noblesville High School; John Evelo, Carmel High School and Patrick Montgomery, Fishers High School.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. For ticket information, visit zchoirs.com or Zvilleperformingarts.com. Tickets also are available by calling 733-4833 and at the door.

Julie Tiller, who was president of Zionsville Show Choirs Inc. last year and the parent of a Royalaires member, said the money raised is going to help with costumes and travel for their competition season.

“It’s not only serving as an educational opportunity to show our kids what they can do in college to keep their interest alive, it’s providing the community with a wonderful evening of entertainment,” Tiller said. “And it’s helping raise funds for our current show choir program.”

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 funloving 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. Meet Beautisha, the cosmetics-loving witch, as she conjures up magical beauty tips with the audience. Join wanna-be stand-up comedian and resident expert in all things pertaining to the underworld, Dr. Acula, on his new game show, ‘Monster Mayhem.’ Presale tickets available at select central Indiana Marsh and O’Malia’s stores. For ticket pricing and more, visit connerprairie.org.

Banjo Concert at the Library – Hussey Mayfield Memorial Library in Zionsville will host a special Monday evening program to kick off this year’s United We Read events, from 7-8 p.m. Oct. 5.

Musician Sam Bartlett will play rollicking tunes from the 1930s (and before) and also talk about the proud history of the banjo. Light refreshment provided, registration required.

Knights back for Ren Faire

By Zach Dunkin • news@geistcurrent.com

After 10 rollicking residencies at three different “settlements” in Hamilton County, the knights, nobles and peasants festival of the Fishers Renaissance Faire will set up camp on Oct. 3 and 4 at the Klipsch Music Center. It is an idyllic setting for the Elizabethan village of Billericay, Fishers’ sister city in England.

Fair organizers were forced to look for a new location when the property in the Saxony Village subdivision, where the fair was most recently staged, was sold.

“The people at Saxony were fantastic; it was simply a business decision,” explained event organizer Adam Fivush. “It turned out for the best. At Saxony, we were surrounded by houses, so it took away from some of the ambiance. At Klipsch, the field is absolutely gorgeous with trees on three sides.”

Renaissance fairs in the U.S. date to the mid-60s. The Fishers fair began in 2005 at Heritage Park and then moved to Conner Prairie for four years in 2007, before settling at Saxony from 2011 to 2014.

The fair attempts to emulate the golden era of Queen Elizabeth’s reign with more than 250 characters in period costumes, jousting, period music, roving comedians, jugglers and musicians, swordplay and knight ceremonies.

HAPPY HOMES MAKE HAPPY LIVES. A joust entertains the kids at last year’s fair.

Bishops to cover six decades of hits

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This New Year’s Eve will be a little different for Bryan Bishop and his band.

“It might actually work out that Music I work New Year’s Eve and get to hang out with my wife and kids, too,” said Bishop, a Carmel resident who lives near the Center for the Performing Arts.

The Bishops will appear at the New Year Eve’s Party from 8 to 10 p.m. at the Palladium.

Productions will be featured in other area. Beginning at 10 p.m., The Hot Sardines play inside the 1,601-seat concert hall.

Bishop, a 1986 Noblesville High School graduate, describes his group as a national party band.

“We play current and classic hits from the last six decades,” said Bishop, who serves as the band’s general manager. “We cover many styles and genres. We look forward to a lot of dancing, a lot of smiles and a lot of fun.”

The song list ranges from Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” to Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer” to Elvis Presley’s “Don’t Be Cruel.”

“It’s all upbeat,” Bishop said.

Bishop and Georgette Fraction are the lead singers of the six-member band. Other members include Scott Carroll, R.J. Johnson, Matt Ley and John Marque. Bishop said all live in the Indianapolis area.

“This particular lineup has been together for going on five years,” Bishop said. “I’ve had the band together in central Indiana for over 13 years.”

Bishop said the Palladium appearance will be good exposure for those that haven’t seen the band before.

The Bishops frequently perform at weddings and corporate events. For more information on the band, visit thebishopslive.com.

Coolers: Shape, size, efficiency

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Even though homemade (tailgater-engineered) ice chests were used as far back as man was able to cut blocks of ice, the official birth of the modern cooler was in the 1950s. In 1954, Coleman Company offered a galvanized cooler and after that, began to offer ice chests with foam insulated plastic liners. With improvements over time we now have a Coleman cooler that keeps ice for five days in 90-degree heat, honest! They also make stackers (coolers) which have square corners and fit easily into a vehicle without wasting space.

Our rules for coolers: • Load coolers with items already cold.

• Use plenty of ice.

• Food safety requires separate coolers for food and beverages.

• Have coolers that are sized and shaped to fit into your vehicle.

• Try to buy coolers in team colors.

Here’s a great tailgate item to fit into your cooler for dessert. It’s a lemon drop bar that’s not too sweet and not too tart.

Ingredients: • 2 1/4 Cups all-purpose flour • 1/2+ Cup powdered sugar • 2 sticks softened butter • 4 eggs, lightly beaten • 1 1/2 Cups granulated sugar • 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon zest • 1/2 Cup fresh squeezed lemon juice • 10 crushed lemon drops Preparation: On the day before, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl stir together 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar; then add the butter and beat with a hand mixer on medium/low speed until the mixture clings together. Press this mixture evenly into

a 9 1/4 x 13 1/4 baking dish and bake in the oven until lightly browned (approximately 25 minutes).

Combine the eggs, granulated sugar and lemon juice. Whisk in 1/4 cup flour and lemon zest. Pour this mixture over the baked layer. Now bake 20 minutes more or until the edges start to brown and the center is set. Place the dish on a wire rack and cool before cutting into 24 bars.

On game day, sprinkle bars with the rest of the powdered sugar and crushed lemon drops.

Cover the dish with a lid or heavy foil and place into your cooler until you serve them. They can sit out 90 minutes at the tailgate, but then replace them into the cooler.

Trending to a balanced market Commentary by Jim Litten Central Indiana continues to trend towards a more balanced market as fewer homes become available and real estate selling prices rise. For August 2015, Tucker’s data revealed an 11.1-percent decline in home sales compared to August 2014. However, average year-to-date home sale prices climbed 4.9 percent to $186,087.

All nine central Indiana counties F.C. Tucker tracks experienced varying declines of inventory. Hamilton County saw a 7.5-percent decline in inventory while the average yearto-date sale price for the county climbed 3.4 percent to $278,093.

• In Fishers/Geist, the average year-to-date home sale price increased by 3.3 percent compared to the same time last year to $263,669 • Of the pended home sales in Fishers/ Geist last month, 10 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 24 were priced $300,000 to $$499,999; 41 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 70 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and three were priced at $99,999

or less.

• Inventory moved at a faster pace in Fishers/Geist in August 2015. Overall, homes sold in 51 days – seven days faster than this time last year.

• Buyers in Fishers/Geist had slightly fewer options available to them. Last month, 554 homes were available for sale, which were 94 fewer homes compared to August 2014.

• Pended home sales have slipped in Fishers/Geist. In August 2015, 148 homes sold – a decline of 35 homes compared to August 2014.

The residential real estate story in the Indianapolis area continues to be declining inventory and increasing prices, which is attractive for home sellers. Although we saw a slight decline in home sales in August, the overall trend is positive. Interest rates and unemployment remain low, and consumer confidence is relatively strong.

Indy Metro receives FAA grant

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com The Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport in Fishers is a unique part of transportation in north central Inditransportation ana. Recently, the airport received a grant to help in a rehabilitation project to help keep the airport’s runways in top condition.

“The overall price for the project is $3.5 million,” Jeff Dutton, communications manager for Indianapolis Airport Authority, said. “The grant was $2.65 million. That’s coming from the Federal Aviation Administration under the U.S. Department of TransportaDutton tion. Basically, the grant money will be used to rehabilitate the runway. The rehabilitation of the runway specifically uses asphalt overlay along with some drainage improvements and some runway markings.”

Also part of the project will be much needed upgrades to the taxiway lighting systems.

“The lighting that is there is getting to be at the end of its life cycle, so it was time to replace it anyway,” Dutton said. “This will allow them to replace it with more energy efficient

LED lights.”

One major advocate for the grant money was U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly “Senator Donnelly was one of the advocates, and he’s definitely instrumental in helping us get this [grant],” Dutton said.

“With the Indianapolis airports managing high amounts of cargo and serving passengers domestically and internationally, reliever airports like [Indy] Metropolitan Airport help support economic growth and stability,” Donnelly stated in a press release. “I am pleased to welcome this Airport Improvement Program grant to help repair the runway at [Indy] Metropolitan Airport because safe, reliable Donnelly airports are essential for our local economy.”

“We sincerely appreciate the role of Senator Donnelly and his team in helping secure this important FAA grant for the Metropolitan Airport,” IAA executive director Mario Rodriguez said in a press release. “They understand the transportation needs of our Central Indiana community, and their work will help sustain a high-quality airport system with outstanding service for years to come.”

Saw palmetto: Secret weapon for aging men 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 a fuller one with a healthy and active life. your health 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.

Family turns basement into entertainment headquarters Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve an inviting and engaging room for the whole family to enjoy.

1. Custom wainscoting was installed to create a feature wall that allowed the crawl space access to blend right in.

2. Built-in cabinetry allowed the perfect storage solution for family scrapbooks and allowed the media equipment to be hidden from view.

3. A new electric fireplace and large projector screen now create a prime focal point in the room.

4. A small bar with glass tile was added for easy entertaining.

5. Additional columns were added to create a continuous flow and more defined area for furniture.

6. Soft gray paint and LED lighting contributed to the transitional style of the space.

Before

Background Info: This newer home is located in the Brookhaven Subdivision in Zionsville. The basement was originally completed with spec finishes but the clients were ready for a more custom basement.

Before problems: The family spent a lot of time in this space and wanted to create a more enjoyable atmosphere. The columns were awkwardly placed, the entertainment center was too small, and the crawl space access was easily noticed.

A small wet bar area was also desired for entertainment.

To most people, the Vikings were uncivilized brutes, who plundered and ravished Christian Europe during the Middle Ages. travel In fact, the Vikings (or Norsemen) were skilled explorers and traders, whose legacy can be seen in the small town of Sigtuna, Sweden.

The Vikings were descendants of Germanic tribes who settled in what is now Scandinavia. They were originally farmers, but became seafarers in the eighth century, perhaps seeking new lands for their heirs to cultivate.

Using their technologically advanced “long boats,” Vikings ventured as far west as what is now Newfoundland and as far east as Constantinople, trading with the people they found and occasionally establishing settlements. If they learned that the people they encountered were not good fighters, they sometimes found it easier to plunder and steal than farm or trade, giving rise to their current reputation.

Lacking paper or parchment, Vikings wrote on stone slabs called “runestones” using phonetic letters formed by easy-to-carve straight lines. Runestones usually memorialized Viking

dead but sometimes chronicled noteworthy accomplishments or identified property. The writing on runestones typically followed a serpentine path around the stone. After Vikings adopted Christianity in the 10th century, runestones often contained a cross.

Vikings founded Sigtuna in 980 A.D., making it the oldest town in Sweden. The current layout of the town follows the original Viking design and contains about 150 runestones, the most of any city in the world. Some runestones were reused as building material, but several remain upright and legible. Sigtuna, where Sweden’s coins were first minted, today has a population of about 8,500, but retains a medieval feel, with a picturesque main street, low wooden buildings and a magnificent thirteenth century brick Gothic church Sigtuna, a 45-minute drive from Stockholm, provides an opportunity to learn about the Vikings. One lesson – their battle helmets never included horns.
