Bowers part of history-making Kiwanis leadership

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dr. Kristen Bowers is glad to be part of the history of Kiwanis International.

Bowers, 55, took office on Oct. 1 for the one-year position as the Indiana impact District leader of Kiwanis International. The Lawrence Township resident, who was elected in June by members of the Indiana district at the convention, joins the administration of the first woman to serve as the Kiwanis International president. Bowers Bowers is a member of the Kiwanis Club of North Central Indianapolis. She is one of 14 women who will govern with president Sue Petrisin.

“We’re the first major service organization to elect a female as international president between Lions, Rotary, Optimist,” she said.

Bowers said it is exciting to be part of the historical leadership team.

“It’s very exciting,” Bowers said. ‘We are starting our second century of serving the children of the world, which is what Kiwanis focuses on. It’s exciting to know the organization represents the diversity of the communities that we’re serving.”

Petrisin has regular electronic conferences with the other governors at least once a month.

“So we can keep up with what is going on in the organization,” Bowers said.

Bowers’ club participates in several services’ endeavors in Indianapolis, particularly in the Nora area.

“Each Kiwanis club can engage in whatever projects they feel best fits the needs of their community,” Bowers said. “There are some we provide for them like sponsoring service leadership programs in high school, Key Clubs and builders clubs in the middle schools. My primary role is to help the 187 clubs that are in Indiana be the best expression of Kiwanis that they can be, help them have the greatest impact and give the greatest service that they can in their

local communities.”

For instance, Bowers said Kiwanis might give bicycle helmets to kids in the community, or they might sponsor a builders club where they teach middle school kids about community service and leadership.

“In Indiana, we’ve been a partner with Riley Hospital for Children for over 90 years,” Bowers said. “We’re the first organization to partner with them before the hospital even opened in 1919. Most Kiwanis clubs are committed to serving Riley Hospital whether that is through raising money or making financial donations or providing hands-on service through a variety of different projects.”

Kiwanis is in the middle of his worldwide project with UNICEF and has already raised $100 million to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus.

“Eleven countries have been certified as MNT free since we got into the campaign and partnership with UNICEF,” Bowers said.

Bowers, a North Central High School graduate, is an adjunct faculty member of Indiana Wesleyan University, teaching in the masters and organizational leadership program. She and her husband Brian have two children, Rachel, a graduate student at Columbia University, and Aaron, a sophomore at Purdue University.

Kiwanis has nearly 630,000 adult and youth members, with 6,300 in Indiana. The organization also offers clubs for disabled adults, giving each group the opportunity to help children in their communities. Each year, club members around the world donate 18.5 million hours of service time on more than 150,000 service projects.

We all are theologians Commentary by Michael VandenBerg I read an article this past week by columnist Joel Belz entitled “Everything’s Religious,” and it got me thinking of religion my first year in Seminary when Dr. I. John Hesselink proclaimed to all of us at orientation that we are all theologians by virtue of being created

by God with a God-size curiosity about who created us. The only question is whether we would mature into good theologians or poor theologians. Good theologians, he explained, considered the facts around them and made decisions about God based on the evidence given from the past (writings), present (the surrounding world) and the future (our own inquisitive nature about things not yet present) . A poor theologian simply ignores all the evidence and lets their emotions, personal experiences or biases cloud their decisions.

I have to admit one of my favorite pasttimes is to go to movies and see if I can pick out the worldview of the producers, the evidence they bring to the movie and the theological implications of their conclusions.

It makes me good at picking out the villain in crime shows, but the downside is that it

drives my wife nuts if I share that information before the end. All life, in that it was created

by God, displays His fingerprints, even if we choose not to see it.

The argument from popular culture is, “well that is fine for you, you believe in God, but I don’t, so it doesn’t apply to me.” The fallacy with that argument is that our world contains truth which is unchangeable based simply on belief. If I believe that the world is flat it will not make it so. My believing that the laws of nature and of God don’t hold sway over me will not change the ultimate outcome. Just because someone states that God is not real or that He is, will not change the outcomes, only the facts will. That leads me to state that it pays for all of us, given the monumental consequences of our choice of believing or not believing in God, to weigh the facts carefully.

Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church, and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for over 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.

Board talks new appeal process

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23 AT 8PM THE PALLADIUM

A meeting of the Hamilton Southeastern school board was held 7 p.m. Oct. 12 in the HSE Administration Office. All board members were in attendance.

HSE Schools Chief Financial Officer Mike Reuter spoke to the board regarding the 2016 school budget. The total budget for the 2016 year is a dvertised at approximately $212 million. A public hearing was held regarding the budget. Only one individual spoke during the hearing. Comments made regarded the amount of students per classrooms, particularly at the elementary level.

NATIONAL CIRCUS & ACROBATS OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

What it means: The board must make a decision for the budget by Nov. 1. The board will continue the budget discussion at the next board meeting scheduled for 7 p.m Oct. 26.

Board members discussed the implementation of a new high school appeals process for eighth grade students going into high school. Students pre-designated to either one of the two high schools will have the ability to appeal their pre-designated school and opt for the other. Students do not need to give reason for their appeal.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24 AT 8PM THE PALLADIUM

What it means: Students are assigned a high school based on the district they fall in. Over the past three years, the rebalancing techniques currently used have resulted in an imbalance of students. In a replacement of the re-balancing efforts to keep the schools’ student population within a 5 percent range of the other, students can appeal their pre-assigned school outside their residing district.

Culinary couple Former Bella Vita owners take on new restaurant path

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com In the competitive world of the restaurant business, starting a new eatery can be a difficult and risky task, especially when you’ve already carried a successful restaurant for nearly two decades. But for former owners of Bella cover story Vita at Geist, Henri and Shelly Najem, the idea of starting a new restaurant in Fishers was the ideal transformation.

“Over the last 20 years; it was just time for a change of pace for us,” Henri Najem said. “We owned Bella Vita at Geist.

The original Bella Vita back in 1998 was a Fishers location. It was at Fall Creek (Road) and Brook School (Road), so we’re not real new to the Fishers area.”

The Geist couple has just opened Flamme Burger, a casual restaurant located in the Nickel Plate District utilizing a custom made wood fire grill and specializing in freshly made burgers, chicken sandwiches and salads.

Getting to their current position as veterans in the industry didn’t happen overnight. The Najems owned their first restaurant, Paisano’s, nearly 20 years ago at 71st Street and Ind. 37.

As a small, 100-seat Italian restaurant, Henri was able to utilize his cooking background in Italian food he developed since discovering his passion as a child for cooking at his uncle’s own Italian restaurant.

“I’ll never forget the day,” Henri said. “I was 12 at the time.

It was a Saturday morning. (My uncle) was back there doing the meatballs and the sauce and preparing his daily, signature items and he asked me if I wanted to learn and that’s where the passion started. I really loved it.”

For Shelly, her exposure to the restaurant world came when “she married into it.”

“We’ve been in the business almost since we were married,” Henri said.

Formerly working in retail modeling and fashion merchandising, Shelly was able to apply her experience to the culinary world Henri was heavily involved in.

Former owners of Bella Vita, Henri and Shelly Najem, have been in the restaurant business for more than 20 years. (Photos by James Feichtner)

“When we met he was in the restaurant business,” Shelly said. “I think in business there’s no big secret. You take care of the customers and serve the best ingredients. Whether it’s retail or owning a restaurant, it’s the same thing in every business. It’s doing the best you can and serving the best product.”

After owning the Bella Vita for almost 20 years, the Najems said what they would miss the most was the people.

“For most people that come into a restaurant, they’re a customer. For Henri and (me), it was like (family),” Shelly said.

“It was like opening up your home. They’re like our guests, and they became friends. That was really neat.”

“I loved the relationships that we built with the neighborhood,” Henri said. “I watched kids grow up. That was a neat thing; a lot of families.”

Aside from taking the relationships from Bella Vita with them, Henri said he also carried his passion for fresh ingredients and his confidence over as well.

“For me it’s all about fresh ingredients and the quality and

consistency of it. That’s what I feel I’ve brought with me. I have confidence now.”

Another endeavor the Najems kept with them in their transition is their charitable spirit.

“That’s the reason why we were successful is we gave back,” Shelly said. “We do all kinds of fundraisers. Riley Children’s Hospital had a big 200-person (event) upstairs of Bella Vita. We donated the food for that. All the way back when hurricane Katrina hit, I used to work with Red Cross, and when they needed help we had a fundraiser for them.”

Flamme Burger’s most recent charitable event went toward Third Phase food bank and shelter in Noblesville. The event raised $800, which the Najems matched. Flamme Burger’s website also allows customers to donate to Third Phase.

“We found out how underfunded Third Phase was and that it’s a part of Hamilton County, so that’s a part of us, so it’s important for us to tie ourselves with them and help increase the awareness and help them with funding. Whatever we can do,” Henri said.

The Najem’s selflessness is especially apparent during Christmas when the couple refuses to buy each other gifts.

“We obviously aren’t really in need of anything, so we don’t buy each other anything for Christmas,” Shelly said. “We take what we would spend on each other for Christmas and we buy food and take it down to the St.Vincent de Paul.”

About the Najems Lives in: Geist since 1999 Family: Gabriella, 14, Alec, 17, and Nicholas, 23.

Hobbies: “We do like to boat. I absolutely love the water. It’s relaxing for us.” – Henri “Our family. If we’re not here we’re with our family. It’s just being with them.” - Shelly Favorite aspects of Geist: “It’s like its own small community.

That’s what I like about it.” – Henri “It’s like being on vacation.

We love Fishers out here but it’s just traffic. Out there you see the water and it’s like being on vacation.” - Shelly

Email cures fight

F R O M T HE BA C K SH O P Has GOP quit Obamacare fight?

This is astute quizzing by a capital journalist: David M. Drucker, senior congressional correspondent for the Washington Examiner, wonders if the Republican Party has “given up on getting rid of Obamacare.” Great point.

We know Donald Trump (R-Billions), who leads the polls for his party’s presidential nomination, wants government to own and manage health care.

••• Surprise, surprise! Hillary Rodham Clinton (DNew York) is said to have won the first debate among Democratic contenders for the nomination. Couldn’t have been that difficult with her fiercest challenger, Bernie Sanders, “pardoning” her over the whole email server mess. And whoever is coaching Sanders needs to be fired.

That was a really poor move.

••• Oh, yeah, Real Clear Politics polling averages show that 63.7 percent of the nation believes President Barack Obama is leading the nation down the wrong path. That’s a statement result.

••• The Lawrence Animal Shelter took another step toward reality last week, thankfully, when the city council voted 8-1 on a resolution in favor of it. Lawrence already has a building in the 4400 block of North Shadeland Avenue, plus folks willing to staff it. For this city, it just makes sense. Why continue sending strays and abandoned pets to Indianapolis and have to pay for it? There is no good reason. Lawrence, we assume, will find room in the 2016 budget to fund the facility.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Lack of counsel

Commentary by Terry Anker

Experts, consultants and professionals – oh my! We are constantly surrounded by the promise of secret solutions and quick fixes. These experts tell us that if we could only get the right advice, our challenges would be resolved and our futures would brighten.

Specialization, perhaps more than any other single element of human evolution, has allowed for the expansion of our individual quality of life. Yet, it has also fostered unprecedented dependency. There was a time, not that long ago, when we each were able to maintain our own automobiles, grow and prepare our own food, file our own taxes and repair our own homes. The degree of complexity now built into these machines and systems has excluded the average human from being able to participate.

It is always good to have the insight of someone who has traveled the path before embarking on a journey; however, we may have become so dependent upon the prom-

ise of easy answers that we are dismissing our personal responsibility and potential to learn these trades. Does the constant reliance on so-called experts beg the question, “How is the status determined?” Is it based upon academic training, credentialing, practical experience or simply a title on a business card?

It would be a deep error to overlook the advisory class en masse because after all, is it really possible to be a jack of all trades? An old proverb asserts “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” So, how do we trust and make good use of professional advisors without descending into a trap where those making our decisions are less competent than had we simply done the work ourselves?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K There are obstacles. You can’t change that. But you can change your attitude about obstacles.

And that is the key to finding a way through.

– Tim Kight

My husband Doo and I had an epic blow-up the other night, so much so that we have already dubbed it the “Controhumor versial Phone Call Incident of 2015.” The cool part, other than the fact that I actually yelled a swear word in anger at him on purpose, which has never before happened in the 25 year history of our relationship, is the way we handled the reconciliation. For once, impersonal technology saved the day.

First, the fight. Doo took a conference call at 9:15 p.m. in bed as I was trying to sleep.

He assured me it would only last five minutes, but 30 minutes later he was still on. I finally snapped, emphatically articulated the aforementioned curse, and caused Doo to totally lose his schtick. Trust me when I say his reaction was impressively combustive.

Fortunately, we recognized that we were both too exhausted to sort through the debris in the moment, and decided to postpone “the talk” until the mutually agreed upon future time of “later.” I slept terribly, as did Doo, and busy schedules kept us from even seeing each other the following day. Doo was literally asleep before I returned home from the kids’ carpool schlep.

The next morning I tested the waters. I sent a beautiful email that would have made any marital counselor proud. I took responsibility for my role and apologized for my behavior, I explained how his actions had made me feel, and inserted just the right amount of humor to show I wasn’t angry anymore.

A few hours later came Doo’s reply. He also owned up to his part in the CPCI, said he was sorry and thanked me for getting the forgiveness ball rolling. And of course, he was obnoxiously funny. Done. Fight over.

Now maybe email isn’t the “recommended” way to communicate after a big argument, but Doo and I are both too hot-headed to demonstrate grace and understanding faceto-face. We need the ability to organize and edit our thoughts before the other hears (or reads) them. For us, email is the perfect solution.

Peace out.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30 AT 8PM | THE PALLADIUM Performing Alvin Ailey’s signature work, Revelations, the company is sure to deliver an evening of dazzling choreography & movement. Alvin Ailey said that one of America’s richest treasures was the cultural heritage of the African-American experience - “sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant, but always hopeful.” This performance is a tribute to that heritage. Using AfricanAmerican traditional spirituals, this suite fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul.

“The entire company… looks terrific. Clearly, the future is theirs.”

Another mass killing and another gun control debate. Reading, watching and interacting in the increasingly divisive gun control and shrill gun conversation this weekend reinforced an understanding that apparently both sides are beyond addressing the actual problem and working toward a rationale compromise within the framework of the Constitution.

Anti-gunners easily dismiss pro-gunners as delusional nutty cowboys. Pro-gunners, not to be outdone, just as easily dismiss anti-gunners as weenie Euro wannabees.

Anti-gunners believe that guns themselves are the “cause” of murders and want to restrict their availability, positing that this will help end the violence. Pro-gunners believe that the number of unhinged violent people is increasing and that guns are needed for protection, not just from tyrannical governments, but also the growing number of crazies bent on doing harm.

Regardless of position, the issue boils down to this: How much liberty are we willing to

cede in exchange for apparent security against the abusers? The right to protect ourselves, like other fundamental rights, is rooted in the Constitution and essential to our country’s commitment to individual liberty. Rights are defined in the context of absolutism, otherwise they would not be a right. This right, like it or not, is one of those absolute rights. And, like all rights, it will always be abused by some. Abusers of the “right to bear arms” will, by definition, misuse weapons. And the misuse of weapons, by definition, will inevitably cause our society harm. The commitment to upholding fundamental rights sometimes causes great harm. The pain associated with the harm doesn’t diminish the value of the right, nor the government’s obligation to respect it. In other words, rights are expensive because they are worth having.

Couple shares why Carmel is a good place to look for ghosts

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com For Westfield residents Nicole and Michael Kobrowski, exploring paranormal activity isn’t just for Halloween.

“For us, ghosts are for halloween all seasons,” said Nicole, 47.

The couple has been operating Historic Indiana Ghost Walks & Tours since 2002 and gives about 50 tours all year around, mostly in Hamilton Co. Nicole has been researching ghosts for more than 30 years since she grew up in a house that she believed was haunted in Anderson. She met and married a friendly German man named Michael, now 44, during her time overseas and they moved to Hamilton Co. in 2000.

In addition to the tours, they founded a niche publishing company called Unseenpress. com in 2006 and Nicole published her first book, “Haunted Backroads: Central Indiana.”

She’s published four other books since: “The Encyclopedia of Haunted Indiana,” “Ghosts of Westfield,” “Ghosts of Madison County,” “Indiana and Fractured Intentions: A History of Central State Hospital for the Insane.”

The couple also helps organizations that have haunted buildings by conducting haunted overnight investigations as fundraisers.

For more, visit unseenpress.com/general/ tours.htm.

How does Carmel compare to other places like Westfield, Fishers, Noblesville and

Michael and Nicole Kobrowski explore haunted places year-round. (Submitted photo)

Indianapolis when it comes to ghosts?

Indianapolis is large and older so one would expect more stories. Noblesville was wild and a bit woolly, which also lends itself to ghosts. Fishers is interesting because aside from a couple of cemeteries there aren’t many hauntings we know of. Some people believe it is because all of the old buildings are gone, but if anything the new construction should stir them up a bit. Westfield has a lot of lovely ghosts from the Underground

Railroad period and beyond. Carmel is unique. Physically, it is an eclectic mesh of old and new, and we have heard of some stories in newer buildings that we’re going to check out this winter. However, overall Carmel seems to lag behind in the ghost department.

What characteristics are usually found in a place that’s haunted? Is it just old?

Ghosts are for all seasons and all places.

They don’t just reside in old homes. We’ve

experienced activity and interviewed people who live in brand new homes with activity. It is what happened on the land, and with the organic things that are in the homes, the furniture and other possessions brought in and what might be attached to people in the buildings.

How do you know which stories of ghosts are real and which ones are not?

After years of research, you can weed some out by instinct, but you can also weed them out by asking the right questions. When we interview people, we have no reason not to believe them, and it is disheartening when someone gives you a “story” when they feel they have something to gain (such as being written about in a book). We also try to investigate as many of the stories as possible through paranormal investigation to try to prove or disprove them. It is always very exciting to get the same personal type ghost story about the same place from people who do not know each other.

Top 3 haunted places in Carmel According to Nicole and Michael Kobrowski 1. Woody’s Library Restaurant (40 E. Main St.) 2. Illusions (969 Keystone Way) 3. The old TGI Fridays on U.S. 31 (now razed and turning into a Huntington Bank) For more on these local haunted places, visit currentnightandday.com.

Tailgating for the season

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley If you enjoy Halloween season with pumpkin carving, corn stalks, orange and black garlands or lights, then you probably should think about a Halloween-themed tailgate party. But what can one do to make the ambiance of the party appropriately colorful? Here are some ideas to dress up your tailgate party: • Pumpkins carved with team logo or letters • Trick-or-treat bags full of candy (this will get rid of your leftover candy) • Orange and Black Jello shots (nonalcoholic for high school tailgates) • Colorful streamers in orange and black (unless they are opponent’s colors) • Candy or caramel apples • Bob for apple game with a bucket of water (don’t forget to bring towels) • Sugar cookies decorated for Halloween Since we are at the end of October, we really need to start thinking about cold weather dishes to serve. Here’s a recipe for a favoritesoup that is very easy.

Italian wedding soup Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 cup diced onions, 1 cup chopped carrots (1/4 inches chop), 1 cup chopped celery (1/4 inches chop), 10 cups chicken stock, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 1/4 cup small pasta (shells, tubetini, stars or anything else small), 1/2 tsp dill weed, 10 oz. bag baby spinach washed and trimmed, 24 oz. bag Johnsonville Classic Italian Style Meatballs (pre-cooked) Preparation: Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Dice the onion, carrots and celery and set them aside, mixed, in a bowl. Wash the spinach, cut off the stems, and set aside.

Bake the meatballs in your oven according to

the package directions. When the meatballs are done, cool them enough to then cut them into halves.

Put the olive oil into a heavy large soup pot on medium low heat, and sauté onion, celery and carrots until soft (5 to 6 minutes.) Stir these veggies occasionally and add the wine and chicken stock as you bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the pasta and cook until it is tender (6 to 7 minutes.) Add the dill weed and meatballs and cook for one minute; then add the spinach, stir and cook for another minute.

This is ready to serve with grated parmesan cheese on top. It will make 10 good-size servings. This is great for cold weather.

Peruvian pumpkin stew

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Locro de Zapallo, “Peruvian Pumpkin Stew” is a dish that every time I make it takes me back home in a flash! Locro is peasant food from the Peruvian Andes. Its native ingredients are pumpkin, potatoes, corn and yellow pepper. This “delicioso” winter and rustic stew is pure comfort food!

Note: Many reasons to have pumpkin in your diet: it is a superfood! The list of vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients is endless. The Andean people are known to live long and healthy lives and it is believed that their pumpkin-rich diet contributes to this.

LOCRO DE ZAPALLO Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1/4 cup vegetable oil, cup of frozen or fresh corn kernels, 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1/2 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream, 1/2 cup feta cheese or queso fresco cut in 1 cm cubes and extra for garnish, pitted olives, Peruvian or Kalamata, 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped Directions: In a pot sauté onion in oil, add

garlic, aji amarillo, oregano, salt, pepper and squash (cut squash same size as potatoes).

Cook at low heat. When squash is soft add potatoes, green peas, corn and chicken broth. Stir well and cook till potatoes are done. Add milk or cream and cheese. Turn off the stove and let it rest for few minutes.

Serve with white rice. Garnish with feta cheese or queso fresco cut in a triangle, olives and sprinkle cilantro.

Correction: The recipe “Penne with 5 cheeses” published in Current on Oct. 6 inadvertently omitted a cheese. The missing ingredient is a 1/4 cup of crumbled gorgonzola cheese.

Construction initiated on Community North cancer center

By Michelle Williams • news@currentinfishers.com Community Health Network broke ground earlier this month on a new, $60 million, 104,000-square-foot development cancer center to provide expanded oncology services. The facility will be connected by walkway to Community Hospital North, allowing immediate access to the full spectrum of medical resources on the north campus.

Construction is expected to be complete in early 2017.

“This becomes a home away from home.

The convenience and amenities help with the patient’s anxiety and with the comfort for their caregivers,” said Chris Wayne, vice president of oncology services. The new facility is designed to accommodate the patient and caregivers for extended stays of up to four to six weeks or more, even in cases where treatment had typically been provided in an outpatient capacity. Wayne explained that patients who previously sought out state-of-the-art care may have sacrificed convenience.

The organization completes a community

health needs assessment every three years, and has identified cancer care as an area of tremendous growth in the next 10 years. “Cancer care is no longer for those who are 65 and older,” Wayne said. “Those living with cancer, and the survivors, are a higher number within the populous than ever before.”

Input for the cancer center came from a diverse team, including some staff members who are cancer survivors. Their integrative healthcare model provides spaces devoted to cancer support groups and exercise, alternative therapies using art, music, tai chi and massage. Additionally, patients will have access to computers for personal use and dedicated spaces for meditation and relaxation.

Residences at Lawrence Village at the Fort now open

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com A new Lawrence housing division of twostory, single-family homes recently held its grand opening at its locareal estate tion near historic Fort Harrison State Park. The site of The Residences at Lawrence Village at the Fort by David Weekley Homes offers spacious housing plans with the convenience of walkability to the nearby amenities of the area.

“We thought it was a good site because of the redevelopment down there,” said Indianapolis Division President Michael Luedke. “You’ve got the state park that’s basically a block away. You’ve got a YMCA that’s on-site there as well, and you’ve got a new restaurant and Triton Brewery right there. There’s a lot of walkability that’s going on where you can walk to restaurants and the park. It’s also the only new, single-family site on the old base.”

A total of 74 lots are planned for the home division with half the lots currently established and the remainder of lots scheduled to

be plotted in phase two of construction. The homes are priced in the $200,000 range and feature three- and four-bedroom homes.

“We currently have two fully furnished models that are open,” Luedke said. “We’ve got I think six or seven homes under construction right now. We have three sold homes, and then we have five inventory homes. I would think that they would be close to getting finished by the end of this year.”

“Community’s Zero Suicide Initiative is an aspirational goal to achieve a zero percent suicide incident rate for people in our care in the next 10 years,” Boggs said. The model was

developed by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention and other partners, and Community Health Network is among the first healthcare systems nationally to begin full implementation.

Community has partnered with IPS and other local school systems to provide presentations and materials about the website and other initiatives to combat teen suicide. “We are promoting the resource on Community’s social media channels like Facebook and Twitter to reach teens, parents and teachers outside of the school environment,” Boggs said.

The website is funded by grants from The Glick Fund and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Resources used in the creation of the content include the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and QPR Institute – which stands for Question, Persuade and Refer. Community Health Network provides QPR Institute training for individuals to learn to recognize warning signs of suicide, know how to offer hope and know how to get help and save a life.

Fall great time for remodeling Commentary by David Decker Fall has officially arrived in Indiana! That means cooler weather, changing leaves and of course, Colts football. indoor living But did you know that fall is also a great time to remodel your home?

Remodeling is a great way to improve your home any time of year, but we think this fall is an especially good time to start a project. Here of some of our favorite reasons to do a fall remodel: More time indoors As we move closer to winter and the weather gets colder, we naturally start spending more time indoors. You’re going to spend a lot more time looking at your surroundings. It only makes sense to create a space that you love. Updating before winter insures that your time indoors will be time enjoyed.

Holiday ready One of the bright spots in winter is the holidays. They are right around the corner, so you’ll want to start your project now in order to be ready. An updated kitchen can make family meals and celebrations more enjoyable for everyone! Starting your project now means things can be over and done before the stress of the holiday season begins.

Energy efficiency Extra lighting, entertaining and lots of activity always come with the holidays. Making

Working with a micro patio Commentary by Randy Sorrell This micro patio is curled up in the middle of the Villages of West Clay and is a brief glimpse of the entire space. outdoor living Check out the use of color and materials in the grill station – materials which are not often married together in the Midwest – which was precisely the objective, to give it a forward metro statement, as if we had suddenly landed in NYC. GRILL STATION The counter and cabinet is constructed of Ipe, an environmentally harvested Brazilian hardwood that behaves like steel. It’s very dense and deceivingly heavy. So dense that nails or screws must be pre-drilled. It ages beautifully, like you and I, and does not require staining or treating. Notice the black steel columns and horizontal support for the side elevated bar? For clarity, the steel and ipe are echoed elsewhere in the project and beautifully glues the space together.

The original patio surface was retained and

your home more energy-efficient beforehand is a smart decision for your pocketbook. Remodels that improve efficiency in your home can pay for themselves in the long run. Plus, it’s always a nice bonus to buyers when you are ready to sell.

Be ready for spring Speaking of selling your home, the real estate market always heats up in the spring.

Be ready before everyone else and get your remodeling projects done now. That gives you a leg up and possibly makes the entire selling process a little bit easier.

set up along the water.

The sunsets aren’t rated, but it’s a nightly tradition after all day on the beach for folks to gather with their drinks and lawn chairs to watch the sun dip into the gulf. Then, they’re off to dinner.

Nightlife for adults includes open-air, resorttype bars and restaurants in the “village.” Favorites include the Siesta Key Oyster Bar (affectionately called SKOB) and the Daiquiri Deck (enough said). Although the food is affordable and average, the kids will love the menu and the outdoor seating on picnic tables at the Old Salty Dog.

With its sugary, white quartz sand and stunning sunsets, it’s no wonder the “Gulf Coast’s best-kept secret” is no travel longer hush-hush. Just ask a number the increasing visitors who make an annual return trek to Siesta Key, a gorgeous barrier island located just off the coast of Sarasota.

Unlike beaches made up mostly of pulverized coral, SK’s two beaches — Siesta Beach and Crescent Beach — have sand that is 99 percent quartz. It is so reflective that it always feels cool underfoot, even on the hottest of days. According to the Travel Channel and “Dr. Beach,” who annually lists Siesta Beach in the America’s Top 10 and sometimes No. 1, these beaches are considered among the most beautiful in the world.

While condo renters have their own “private” beach areas, a wide public beach is also available.

The shallow water depth in the near-shore area together with year-round lifeguard protection make this one of the safest beaches in the country and great for children. The beach is relatively “family-safe” with no open bars

Commentary by Beverly Randolph We prayed to “make the cut” at the recently opened Central Bark Park in Carmel. Fortunately, we did, and it has transtravel formed our lives. Honeybear, our 8-year-old golden retriever, has found new energy and handsomely gallops around the park. Pet-parents also get exercise, increased Vitamin D intake and get to make new acquaintances, like their doggie pals. It is my hope the following guidelines will ensure that you, too, have a doggone good, safe time.

Have Fido decline serving on the greeting committee.

Like with humans, proper introductions are important. New dogs entering the park can become anxious, overwhelmed and potentially aggressive. Keep yours away and let newly arrived dogs integrate on their own schedule.

Remove leash before entering.

The double-gate system allows for leashes to be removed before entering. This provides a safer environment for canines and humans alike, by preventing leash aggression incidents. Your pups won’t dart around the park with their leashes flailing behind.

Keep an eye on your dog at all times.

Dogs Honeybear and Lilly in the Carmel dog park. (Submitted photo)

Try not to look down on your phone or book, plop down on a bench or chat with fellow pet lovers too much. Interact with your best friend, and watch your dog’s body language. Signs to remove Fido include ears pulled back, dilation of pupils and tails tucked.

Do not let dogs “work it out.”

Catherine’s room is missing Commentary by Don Knebel Once known as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the Amber Room is missing. But visitors to St. Petersburg, Russia, travel can see (but not photograph) a recreation of that famous room.

Amber, the source of dinosaur DNA in “Jurassic Park,” is fossilized tree resin, created over millions of years. Most of the world’s amber, used to create orange/yellow gemstones, is mined near Kaliningrad, a Russian city on the Baltic known as Königsberg when part of Prussia. In 1701, Frederick I, the first King of Prussia, built a room in his Berlin palace lined with fragile panels of transparent amber, laid over gold leaf. In 1716, Tsar Peter the Great of Russia was so impressed that Frederick’s successor gave him the room to seal an alliance between Russia and Prussia. The Amber Room was eventually installed in Catherine’s Palace near St. Petersburg, incorporating additional amber panels from Prussia.

As Hitler’s troops neared St. Petersburg in 1941, workers attempted to conceal the Amber Room by covering the amber walls with paper. The German troops were not fooled and shipped the looted room to Germany, where it was reassembled in the Königsberg Castle. In

1943, with Allied troops advancing on Königsberg, the museum’s director was instructed to dismantle the Amber Room and ship it away. In August 1944, British forces bombed Königsberg, destroying the museum. The Amber Room vanished, with theories about its mysterious disappearance ranging from its being obliterated in the bombing to being hidden away somewhere in Germany. With the original Amber Room missing, Russian and German craftsmen spent 24 years and millions of dollars meticulously recreating it in Catherine’s Palace, where Vladimir Putin dedicated
