Fire department veteran of more than 30 years retires from Fishers role

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Back when Fishers was a town of only a couple thousand residents, it only had a single volunteer fire station. As it has grown to the city we see today, so has its public safety fire department. One man who helped significantly grow that department was Brian Lott. But after more than 30 years of service to Fishers’ fire department, this month will mark Lott’s retirement from the city.

During his time with the fire department, Lott has served as a volunteer firefighter, fire marshal, deputy chief and chief. As a Fishers native born and raised, Lott had always wanted to be part of the local fire department.

“Ever since I was a small kid, I’d ride my bike over here by the Nickel Plate restaurant, and there was a siren on top of the silo nearby, and so every time the siren went off I’d ride my bike over and watch the (firefighters) come out,” Lott said. “I always dreamed of doing that, so as soon as I was able to, fresh out of high school, I joined the fire department.”

Lott first joined the Fishers volunteer department in 1981. While he was a volunteer he worked for the Town of Fishers for a few years before he was hired at the Lawrence Township Fire Dept. Once Fishers became a professional department, Lott was one of the first to join.

“Prior to getting into the fire service, I worked for the town a couple of years, and then in 1986 I got onto the Lawrence Township Fire Department,” Lott said. “In 1991, I was the fifth person hired on to the Fishers fire department. It was the chief who hired me on; he came from the Lawrence Township Dept. as well.”

Lott was first hired on as Fishers’ fire marshal and was quickly promoted through the ranks of the department, but eventually went back to being fire marshal to be out in the field.

“I started out as the fire marshal, and in about six months I was promoted to deputy chief until the chief left, and then the town council appointed me to chief in 1996. I was the fire chief

through 2009.”

Throughout his time in the department, Lott contributed to its fast development growing from one fire station to six.

“It was very fast growth,” Lott said. “I helped build this station. I helped build the township trustees office and station 2 at 116th and Brooks School. When Chief Kahle left in 1996 and I became the chief, we built station 3, station 4, station 5 and probably in my tenure hired 125 firefighters. It was fun, but it was very fast paced.”

Lott has served in many roles in the department but enjoyed being chief the most.

“Probably my favorite role was the fire chief position. I was in that role for almost 14 years, and it was during the high-growth period. I was very active.”

During his time as chief, Lott led the department to become one of the first accredited institutions in the state, a title the department still holds today.

As for Lott’s retirement, he still plans to reside in Fishers, but his time working in fire services isn’t over. While he will be leaving his role in Fishers, Lott will go on to become the new fire marshal for the Greenfield fire department.

“An opportunity came up where the Greenfield fire chief had asked me if I was interested in the fire marshal position,” Lott said. “They’ve never had a fire marshal before, so it’s a brand new position, and they’ve been a fire department for a long time. It’s starting a new program for fire prevention. It’s a good challenge and I’m looking forward to a new chapter.”

As for his time in Fishers, Lott is proud to have been a part of helping build the FDFES to the prestigious institution it is today.

“My proudest moment is probably helping lead this department to be the professional department that it is,” Lott said. “We have a lot of great people, very compassionate people that work here, so Fishers is pretty blessed.”

Fishers residents have come to know of the Halloween-oriented Boo Bash festival at Nickel Plate Amphitheatre for the past event three years, and while the event is great for kids and families, Fishers Parks and Recreation felt it wasn’t catered to the more mature audiences.

In order to cater to the adult crowd, Fishers came up with the idea of Boo and Brew.

“This is our third year for Boo Bash, and it’s become a Fishers tradition. It’s a really great annual event for famiElliot lies and kids,” Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliot said. “We wanted to diversify our offerings and do something unique, do something a little different; a little fun; a little bit edgy for our older crowd. So Boo Bash is for family and kids, and Boo and Brew is a new, exciting offering for adults and a more mature crowd.”

Taking place 7 p.m. Oct. 30 Fishers will partner with Sun King Brewing to host a beer gar-

den as well as a free movie screening followed by a live performing band.

“The Boo and Brew will be hosting a free showing of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’, followed by a live concert featuring the Grave Yard Stompers,” Sun King Co-founder Dave Colt said. “We’ll have a beer garden out there and lots of food trucks, and fun will ensue. We’re definitely going to be having the house beers there, and we’re still kind of deciding what other fun things we’re going to have.”

This free event taking place at the Nickel Plate Amphitheatre is encouraged Colt for those 21 and over and welcomes costumes spirited for the occasion.

“Bring out props; bring out costumes,” Elliot said. “We’re not doing a formal costume contest, but Sun King will be giving away different awards for the costumes and participation they deem to be the most creative and spooky, perhaps. So there will be an informal recognition for dress up.”

“It's in service. It's been running and it's very functional. The guys love it,” Mehling said. “It may not have as many of the bells and whistles that some trucks have out there, but it's going to perform well for the citizens of Fishers.”

Purchased through the HGAC Buying Cooperative, the department saved $350,000 on the new unit – about 30 percent of the total cost. Within the cooperative, local governments across the country manage resources by purchasing equipment and services in quantity to receive substantial discounts.

“Within the cooperative, they determine what that engine or that ladder is going to have on it and what its abilities are. So we have the option to decide if those abilities will fit the needs and purchase through the program,” Mehling said.

NBI

After 18 years of service, the Fishers Dept. of Fire and Emergency Services has replaced one of its three ladpublic safety der trucks with a new 105-foot aerial truck.

The Pierce Arrow XT 4 seat cab truck will be housed at the headquarter station in the Fishers Municipal Complex. All units are maintained by the certified mechanics of the Fishers fleet service, with the majority of the maintenance performed in house at each station.

The 1997 platform aerial truck will remain in service in a backup capacity when other units receive maintenance and will also be used during the department’s training exercises. Regular training is administered at the Hamilton Co. training facility located on River Road. Other special training sessions are performed when possible.

“Sometimes we have a house that people have donated to us, and we'll do training at that house.” said Capt. John Mehling.

Ladder trucks were dispatched for 1,305 responses in 2014. Placed in service on Oct. 9, the new unit is already being used for daily responses.

Fishers council approves 2016 budget

7

What happened: Nine-year-old Ethan McKinney of Fishers was presented before the council and recognized by Mayor Scott Fadness for his bravery, determination and philanthropic spirit during his medical journey. McKinney had a condition where he had an extra blood vessel in his heart that had to be surgically removed.

Why it matters: McKinney was one of eight individuals selected as a 2016 Riley Champion presented by Kroger by demonstrating strength and perseverance.

What happened: The 2016 Fishers operating budget was approved by council.

Mayor Fadness and city council members honor Fishers resident Ethan McKinney at the Oct. 19 city council meeting. (Photo by James Feichtner) What happened: Fishers Police Dept. announced the addition of two new officers to their team.

Officers Michael Burke and Eric Freeman were sworn in by Chief George Kehl.

Why it matters: Fishers Police Dept. has grown a substantial amount over the last decade. With the addition of two new policemen, the accredited department now has 101 sworn officers.

Why it matters: The total operating budget is approximately $62 million with an operating capital income of approximately $6.9 million totaling $69 million for the 2016 year. Comparing expenditures per capita to surrounding municipalities, Fishers was the lowest compared to Carmel, Westfield and Noblesville, at $1,245.46 per capita. Property tax rates will slightly increase by 1.6 percent, returning to the previous rate from 2014 at 63 cents per $100 of assessed value making Fishers still one of the lowest tax rates of any major city in Indiana. Public safety departments will add two additional police officers for patrol and one intelligence officer, 11 cardiac monitors, 13 replacement squad cars for the police department and two new fire engines. More than $30 million has been secured in federal funding for roads and trails over the next five years with 14 major projects planned throughout the city.

By Jenna Jarosinski • news@geistcurrent.com Oaklandon Civic Theatre invites you to take a blast to the past and enjoy the story of a haunted house, a cursed lake and a mysterious murder. Join the theperformance atre for their 23rd production, “House on the Cliff,” directed by Sue Beecher. “House on the Cliff” was originally a TV play by George Batson and Donn Harmon but has been adapted to come to a stage near you.

“House on the Cliff” is different from anything else the theatre has done before because each actor portrays a stylized character.

“Each character has a specific mannerism and unique personality”, Beecher said. Beecher continued on to praise the beautiful construction of the set; commenting that the furnishing of the mansion acts as a time machine to take the audience back to the 1950’s.

The play tells the story of a 1950’s mansion in Northern Michigan, overlooking the Great Lakes. The lake is now cursed and a sudden murder occurs, leaving the home’s occupants with one question- who is the mysterious

Making executive decisions Commentary by Paula Presnoples Corporate executives, leaders of groups and individuals all make decisions as a matter of course. We all make many executive decisions every day. Studies have shown choices that successful executives make more decisions than their less successful counterparts. It isn’t that they always make the right decisions, but they have more chance to be right. The same is true of everyday life, the more decisions we make, the more opportunity we have to make correct decisions. Plus, decision-making is a skill, the more decisions we make the better we get at it. Aren’t most decisive people successful?

Often we use the “Ready, Aim, Fire” process.

We get ready by thinking about what we want the outcome of our decision to be; then we take careful aim by analyzing all the possible issues and potential pitfalls and once we are satisfied, we fire. However, this process sometimes leads to paralysis by analysis. We become so embroiled in making the perfect decision we become caught in the quicksand

of the aim step, never firing at all.

Consider using the “Ready, Fire, Aim” decision-making process. In this model, we get ready by considering what we want the outcome to be and we try to prepare as best we can. Then we fire knowing that subsequent decisions may be needed to improve outcomes. So we reevaluate and aim after we understand the result of the firing, making adjustments as needed. This process creates forward movement toward the goal and increases our chances of success.

The next time you consider making a change and need to make an executive decision, whether it is to change jobs, buy a new house or lead a team or company in a new direction, remember decision-making is a skill that improves over time.

A dear friend of mine eased the hearts and minds of an entire community, suffering through the massive unemreligion ployment in Flint, Mich., in the 1980s when he told them, “Tough times never last, but tough people do.”

(Robert H. Schuller) What he was saying is there has never been a problem the world has faced, not recession, not crime or even war that lasts forever, and if you are a tough-minded person, you can outlast the problems that surround you. Are you facing marital problems? Then stay focused, and remain tough, and you will not only survive but you will thrive. Are you facing layoff from your job, death of a child, illness, or even death? Then know that if you stay focused and remain tough, you will not only survive, but you will thrive.

The Apostle Paul said something similar when he told his listeners he had learned to be content in all situations, whether rich or poor, sick or healthy, facing abundance or

death, he had found the secret to contentment. Notice he does not say he is happy in all situations. Happiness is an emotion, contentment relies on the will. The Apostle Paul and Robert Schuller both had found when you keep your focus on the things of God and remain steadfast, you will both survive and thrive with God’s help.

So does this mean if I believe I will never suffer again? Absolutely not! Does it mean I will not have to face death? NO! What it does mean is when disaster comes, when death is imminent, staying focused on God will see you through. You see, we were created and serve a God who loves to see us through. He is a “THROUGH” God. 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.

Retired Geist couple creates works of art

Current in Geist

Barb and Rich McDaniels in Waterford, Wales.

By Renee Larr • news@youarecurrent.com

When most people retire, they look to hobbies to keep busy. For one Geist couple, their hobbies of choice happen to include creating works of art and cover story writing a book. When Barb McDaniel retired from her job as an elementary school teacher, she found herself in a transition.

“After I retired, I got started in making collages. For me, it was because I was going through this transition. All my friends had grandchildren, and I didn’t. What I found out is my collage work is about healing and evolving,” Barb said.

Her collages led into drawing, photography and painting.

She was drawn to acrylics because they’re not as expensive as oils and can easily be changed. Her son Tim, a Herron Art School graduate, sometimes assists his novice mother with parts of her works via Skype.

“I had different paintings I was showing him. He’s so good. He knows how to be encouraging, but also how to advise as we go along,” Barb said.

In their home, Barb has two places in which she finds creativity. Her art studio in a three-seasons room and her “woman cave.” The McDanielses had a loft area they wanted to enclose for Barb to use as a workspace, but it ended up being her “happy place.” The walls are adorned with bohemian, gypsy-style decorations and Barb’s various drawings, paintings and photographs.

One photograph of Barb’s, taken during the couple’s travels, even made it on to the cover her husband Rich’s, newlypublished book, “The Portal to Your Inner World.” The book was published in June, but Rich has been working on it for years.

“I like to say it was 10 years in the writing and 40 years in the making. It’s about a process I discovered about 40 years ago that enabled me to literally change my emotional reaction to things,” Rich said.

An event that look place many years in the past led Rich down a road of self-discovery. He wanted to determine why a normal day-to-day interaction with a co-worker evoked such a powerful, fearful response. During his introspection, he came to realize the interaction with a coworker reminded him of a particularly powerful event that happened to him as a child.

“The first experience that I had with the process, I was at a meeting with some work people. At the end of the meeting, this girl gave me a hug, and it just freaked me

out. I told myself I needed to figure it out. What I realized was I felt like I was being influenced to do something I didn’t want to do in a sexual way. It came from when I was molested as a little boy,” Rich said.

With that powerful realization, Rich began to study psychotherapy experts Carl Jung and Joseph LeDoux. Rich quickly discovered that while the men were experts, they weren’t explaining a way to deal with negative emotions that most people could easily understand. Rich decided to write a book detailing how he dealt with his own “stored emotions.”

“Our feelings lead our thoughts. Not the thought that generates the feeling. When we’re under this animated state of the stored feelings it will also open a portal to our inner world where we can identify where this originated.

I talk about originating incidences. If we can go back to these originating incidences then we can reintegrate the stored feelings back to its innate state rather than one that is stored and extreme. The process is very gentle,” Rich said of his technique.

Rich published the book and has already booked seminars to assist others with finding the portal to their inner world. Rich hopes his book can help others as it’s already help him, his wife and countless others. For more, visit hermitageindy.org. To purchase Rich’s book, visit amazon.com.

An ode to Halloween

FR O M T HE BA C K SH O P Back to you, Mrs. Clinton With Vice President Joe Biden announcing last week he would not pursue the Democratic Party’s nomination for the presidency, our original theory actually went down the drain. We had talked on more than one occasion about how we thought the vice president would wait to see how Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) would fare after the conclusion of the email server investigation, likely in February, before he would announce. Shows what we know. Regardless, we are disappointed by his decision, because we believed him to be a more-worthy challenger to Clinton than Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will turn out to be in the long run. But just as there is scant difference between Democrats and Republicans these days, we believe that is the case with Clinton and Sanders.

••• This shouldn’t be a necessary annual activity, but as long as there are couldn’t-care-less people in our midst, sadly it has to happen.

So, the Geist Lake Coalition recently gathered for its fall Geist Cleanup Day. Volunteers met at Eddy’s Neighborhood Bar and Grill to help clean up around the reservoir and neighborhoods in the area. Volunteers were provided with trash bags. If the dingbats that leave the detritus for others to gather and toss simply took it upon themselves to do so, the area would stay clean. Thank you, volunteers.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Wispy shreds

Commentary by Terry Anker

Confederate is defined first as “joined by agreement or treaty.” The synonyms include: cooperating, combined and united.

Flag is defined as “a piece of cloth or similar material, typically oblong or square, attachable by one edge to a pole or rope and used as the symbol or emblem of a country or institution or as a decoration during public festivities.” Therein synonyms include: banner, standard and streamer. Both seem harmless enough. In fact, one might argue that they have a bias towards the positive.

How can a cooperative streamer lead to violence?

But like much of the human condition, the whole is far greater (and much different) than the sum of its parts. Through what has been a largely civil reframing, the Confederate Flag has been repositioned in our collective understanding. What represented to some the violent oppression of fellow humans by the immoral institution of slavery to others suggested dogged inde-

pendence and self-reliance. Several states continued to employ the flag and many memorials were dedicated to it.

Whether you call the war between the states a quelling of rebellion or the “war of Northern aggression,” the battle is over and all can predict the silencing of the symbol – the flag is retiring into the ash heap of history. Most say it is time. Yet, why do we imbue so much in these wispy shreds of fabric? Can a bit of cloth just be a bit of cloth?

Symbols are powerful. Candidates wrap themselves in flags to show patriotism or sniff stinky shoes to show, one can guess, solidarity with the common stinky-footed man. But, who owns these symbols. And, who gets to decide their meaning?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.

– Kahlil Gibran

Oh, Halloween, how I love thee. A night of enchantment and bountiful candy. A time to prepare for that perfect costume. A pointy hat, black cape and a witch’s broom?

Or maybe a ghost with a simple white sheet. Make sure to hem it or you’ll trip up your feet!

No matter the act or role that they choose, remember that parents too need humor treats and/or booze. A spiced wine or cold beer, it’s really no matter, All Hallows Eve means a night to get fatter! At Chez Wilson, you see, chili and cornbread do reign, as I sport a fall apron and a dazzling new mane.

‘Cause every Halloween I wear a cool wig, usually a strawberry-blonde afro that goes over big. We decorate to the hilt, mainly just outside, with a graveyard and strobe lights, and goblins who’ve died.

My favorite is our scene with the rusty lawnmower, underneath which lies a body who moved much slower than the machine which fatally pinned him beneath, and left him in pieces — his arms, legs and teeth.

We add a little more décor each October that comes, like a beady-eyed raven amongst some fake plastic mums.

Last year was the fog machine, though it actually kind of sucked. It overheated and shut down; I think we got . . . screwed.

Anyhoo, we adore this most fantastic of eves. Whether in the heat we sweat or cold temps we freeze.

As long as there’s no rain to ruin the night, we’ll traipse through the hood with utter delight.

For on this night of all nights, with magic in the air, we celebrate family and tradition and my fake afro hair.

Most importantly we relish our children’s wide eyes, filled with wonder and excitement and hopes still alive of landing the motherload of sugar and sweets, and setting up shop later to trade jellied feet.

Then it’s off to bed where sleep comes late, as they replay the events of such a wonderful date.

Happy Halloween to you all, and let me leave no doubt, it’s my most favorite day of the year! Peace out.

Ethical times, ethical measures Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Because I am originally a New Yorker, I still read the “New York Times” every Sunday morning. My favorite column is humor “The Ethicist,” written by several well-known philosophers —not well known to me, but apparently very well known to other accomplished philosophers, although I’m not sure what philosophers ever accomplish.

Here’s an example of a topic: You are the last to leave a restaurant during a rainstorm but the last umbrella in the hat check room is not yours. Should you take it? Yes, they actually debated this. I am sad to say, drier heads did not prevail.

Here’s how I’d answer some common questions: Q: When I travel, I always take the little bottle of shampoo out of the bathroom and put it in my suitcase. I was feeling guilty about this, but the clerk said the company that makes this stuff expects people to do that. That’s why they put their name on the product. Recently, I picked up a Sony TV and a General Electric hair dryer from the Westin. Should I stop?

A: Only after you cross the border.

Q: I gave my friend money to buy me a lottery ticket. He went to Village Pantry and bought 10 for himself and one for me. He gave one to me that night. The next day, a ticket he was holding won $25,000,000. I think that was my ticket and he got them mixed up in his pocket.

Should I confront him?

A. suming you can afford to fly to Fiji … and assuming you can get past his four bodyguards on his 300-foot yacht, sure, why not?

Q: Every time I go to a restaurant I steal one knife. I’ve been doing this for about 50 years and now at the age of 83 I have over 3,500 knives in my house. I feel like I should stop. Do you agree?

A. Absolutely! At your age, it’s time to start on forks.

Hollywood: Indiana Wind Symphony pays tribute to famous movie scores

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Trumpeter Joey Tartell. (Submitted photo)

FLUSHED WITH CURIOSITY

There will be many familiar songs when Indiana Wind Symphony is in conMusic cert on Nov. 7.

The IWS’s Hollywood Highlights will be performed at 7:30 p.m. at the Palladium.

“I think we’ve done a Hollywood tribute before but not with this particular selection of pieces,” IWS music director Charles Conrad said.

Trumpet virtuoso Joey Tartell will perform a piece called “American Jazz Suite,” a piece by trumpeter Allen Vizzutti, who has also performed with IWS before. Tartell, who is associate professor of music (trumpet) at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, also will perform a turn-of-the-20th-century cornet solo

by Herbert L. Clarke called “From the Shores of the Mighty Pacific.”

“He’ll play one in each half of the concert,” Conrad said.

The IWS also will perform the “The Liberty

Bell” march from John Philip Sousa.

“People won’t get the connection until they hear it,” Conrad said. “It was the theme song from ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail.’”

Some of the movies IWS is performing music from include “Gone with the Wind,” “Jaws,” “Superman,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Titanic,” “Schindler’s List,” “The Magnificent Seven” and “Mr. Lucky.”

“There is a little special meaning to this (concert) because when we were putting this together we had no idea composer James Horner would die so suddenly,” Conrad said.

“That led us to put this big ‘Titanic Suite’ on.

That was one written for the United States Air Force Band and we got special permission to perform that one.”

Horner, who died in a small plane crash in June, won two Oscars for “Titanic,” including best original dramatic score and best original song for the Celine Dion classic, “My Heart Will Go On.” For more, visit the indianawindsymphony. org.

Indiana Performing Arts Centre Proudly Presents

Christmas

Twas the Night Before

By Zach Dunkin • news@geistcurrent.com One of the most commercially successful R&B groups of all time is headed to the Center for the Performing performance Arts. Boyz II Men, whose four-part harmonies propelled them to millions in sales and dozens of awards, will appear on stage at the Palladium at 7:30 p.m. March 24.

Tickets are now available. To purchase tickets, visit to TheCenterPresents.org or the Palladium box office, or call 843-3800.

The ’90s boy band, which now features original members Nathan Morris, Wayne Morris and Shawn Stockman (Michael McCary left the group in 2003), is best known for its emotional ballads and a cappella harmonies.

Songs like Grammy Award-winning “End of the Road” and “I’ll Make Love to You,” “One Bended Knee” and “One Sweet Day” with Mariah Carey helped build record sales in the millions. “One Sweet Day” still holds the all-time record with 16 weeks at the top of Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100. The group is Billboard’s fourth-most successful group of the ’90s.

The origin of the group was in 1988 at the School of the Creating and Performing Arts in

Philadelphia. Originally a quintet called Unique Attraction, the band’s big break came in 1989 when they snuck backstage at a Bell Biv DeVoe concert and wowed BBD member Michael Bivins with a vocal performance. Bivins offered them a deal on the spot.

Three years later, they recorded a song written by Indianapolis’ Babyface called “End of the Road.” The song become one of the biggest hits in history, spending 13 weeks at No. 1 on the pop charts, breaking the 11-week record of Presley’s 1956, double-sided single “Don’t Be Cruel/Hound Dog.” Since then, Boyz II Men have released 12 albums, including their latest, “Collide,” in 2014, and have won more than 30 awards, including four Grammys and nine American Music Awards.

Boyz II Men to visit Carmel

SPONSORED IN PART BY:

If you are cat lover you probably have shared a cat video or two with festival a fellow cat admirer. Now, imagine sitting in a room with 400-500 feline fans watching a 75-minute string of 85 cat videos from all over the world.

That’s what the Internet Cat Video Festival at the Indianapolis Museum of Art Nov. 20-21 is all about – and a special guest appearance by Bloomington’s celebrity cat, Lil Bub. “People are passionate about watching cat videos online, but it’s quite a different experience when you’re in a room watching these videos with hundreds of others celebrating that same feeling you have about cats,” said IMA curator Scott Stulen, co-creator of the festival. “Unlike dogs, which will perform for the camera, cats could care less. That’s more like humans, and I think that’s a large part of their appeal.”

Keeping warm this season

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Once again, as we drive to the game, we can’t help but notice that all the corn and bean fields have been harvested, and warm days seem to have vanished. Most of the fall color for trees is gone as well. So what does this mean?

It means that we’ve pressed that little weather icon on our phones at least two dozen times. It means that we are going to have to find good ways to enjoy a tailgate party without shuddering from the cold. So here are some basics things to remember.

Staying warm requires understanding two key principles: conduction and convection.

Conduction is the transfer of heat between two solid surfaces that are in direct contact with each other, such as when you stand on cold pavement. Convection is the transfer of heat between a mass (such as your body) and a moving fluid or gas (such as a cool wind that whips around every square inch of you).

Understanding both of these chilling mechanisms, as well as the workings of your body’s built-in thermoregulatory system, will help keep you warm when you next cold-weather tailgate.

Dress in layers so you can keep the wind out and be able to remove items so that you don’t sweat when your body does heat up.

Avoid the wind by setting up on the lee side of your vehicle or having a canopy-tent with a walled side.

Have a heat source. The best one is the sun, but if there is no sun, then have your grill hot and in your seating area.

Keep your body hydrated.

Keep your body “furnace” stoked with hot foods, hot beverages and slow-burning food

Onion soup is just one warm recipe to help during chilly tailgates. (Submitted photo)

calories from proteins.

A great option is a soup. Here’s one that tastes great and will warm your body as well.

ONION SOUP Ingredients: 1 lb. onions sliced, 2 tsp. fine sugar, 2 heaping tbsp. flour, 8 cups beef stock (or 10 cubes bouillon in 8 cups H20), 4 tbsp. butter, Salt (unless you use bouillon which already has a lot) Pepper, French bread, Gruyere and/or Mozzarella cheese Preparation: In a soup pot, brown onions slowly in butter until they become transparent. Add sugar and cook just three more minutes before adding flour and cook another minute. Add beef stock and bring the whole mixture to a boil while stirring. Lower your heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Salt and pepper the soup as you like it, let it cool, and then refrigerate the soup (overnight) in a large square, re-sealable container.

Spiced fruit compote is the perfect topping for your breakfast. Not only the spices and tea will bring a beautiful aroma and warmth to your kitchen, but I love how simple, delicious and healthy this recipe is! Spoon over porridge, waffles, crunchy granola or vanilla ice-cream as dessert! The variations are limitless! You can make it the day before and warm it before serving.

Note: Dried fruit is a good source of fiber, iron, potassium and antioxidants.

SPICED FRUIT COMPOTE Cook: 15minutes / Serves: 4 Ingredients: 3 fruit tea bags, 1-2 teaspoons honey, 1/2 cinnamon stick, A pinch of

ground allspice, 2 cups dried mixed fruit (such as apricots, apples, cranberries, prunes, pears) roughly chopped Directions: Place tea bags in a pan, pour in 1 1/4 cup boiling water, and stir in the honey. Add cinnamon stick and allspice. Bring to a boil and simmer for five minutes. Add mixed fruit and simmer for another five minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to steep until ready to serve.

Understanding the new EMV chip Commentary by Joe Clark On Oct. 1, retailers were required to accept chip-equipped credit cards. The EMV card (Europay MasterCard and Visa) finance has been used in parts of Europe for more than two decades. Recent consumer data breaches have prompted the U.S. to adapt the same card protocol.

Numbers support the change. According to the Nilson Report, fraud costs 14 cents per $100 spent in the U.S. compared to 4 cents in Europe for the same expenditures.

The difference between EMV cards and computer strip swipe cards relates to data storage. Data remains on traditional “swipe cards” after each swipe. But data changes on EMV cards every time the card is “dipped” into the reader. Fail-proof? Certainly not, but EMV cards are a better transaction tool than traditional swipe cards.

Liability for a fraudulent credit card charge is limited to $50 in the U.S. That explains why City and Chase are quick to stop “suspect” transactions. But a debit cardholder’s potential liability is the amount of money in the account.

Fraud is a common problem on college campuses, and students may not be diligent about protecting their accounts. Yes, a parent can

control how much a child spends with a debit card, but the account balance in its entirety could be at jeopardy. In contrast, the liability associated with a stolen credit card is just $50. Of course, parents have to trust their student to exercise financial discipline when using credit cards.

There is more to consider regarding liability.

If a retailer doesn’t provide the technology to read an EMV chip card, the retailer is responsible for the fraud. If an EMV card is fraudulently used then the issuing card company is still on the hook. Individuals may not be able to use older cards in the near future, but that appears to be the only impact consumers will feel.

Early reports indicate that “dipping” takes a little longer, and that some restaurants are experiencing challenges when adding a gratuity after the transaction is processed. But that sounds like a “first world problem,” and we will probably survive.

Homes sales up since last year Commentary by Jim Litten September saw fewer listings and pended home sales, but year to date, the market is performing better than real estate 2014. In the nine-county central Indiana region, Tucker’s data revealed a 6.8 percent decline in home sales last month compared to September 2014. Year to date, sales were up 7.9 percent, and average year-to-date home sale prices climbed 4.9 percent to $185,536.

Hamilton County saw a 5.3 percent decline in inventory while the average year-to-date sale price for the county climbed 3.9 percent to $277,715.

• In Fishers/Geist, the average year-to-date home sale price rose 3.3 percent compared to this time last year, increasing to $263,412.

• Inventory moved at a slightly faster pace in Fishers/Geist in September 2015. Overall, homes sold in 60 days – four fewer days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Fishers/Geist had fewer options available to them. Last month, 553 homes were available for sale – 93 fewer homes com-

pared to September 2014.

• Pended home sales have slipped in Fishers/Geist. In September 2015, 139 homes sold – a decline of 48 homes compared to September 2014.

• Of the pended home sales in Fishers/ Geist last month, eight were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 32 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 39 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 55 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and five were priced at $99,999 or less.

Residential real estate sales and listings are still very active. The region is 7.9 percent ahead of last year’s pended sales at this time, and that’s a sure sign we’ve ended the third quarter on a strong note. And, as average sale prices continue to rise, the incentive to list a home is still high.

Colored contacts for Halloween? Think again

Commentary by Tammy Wittmann

A recent study published in “Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice” found the presence of harmful chemicals in vision the colorants used in cosmetic contact lenses bought without a prescription. They are urging consumers to beware of buying contact lenses without a valid doctor’s prescription because these lenses cannot be guaranteed to meet U.S. FDA standards for this type of medical device. Some of the chemicals found in the colorants were chlorine, titanium and iron, which can have devastating consequences ocular health.

Dr. Jeffrey J. Walline, O. D. Ph. D., and chair of the American Optometric Association’s Contact Lens & Cornea Section, stated, “This makes these lenses extremely dangerous to even try for a short period of time, including, for example, a Halloween party.”

These chemicals decrease the contact lens’ ability to breathe and the way they are applied to the lenses can be indirect contact with the cornea. This may cause the cornea to develop permanent scarring, corneal ulcers, infections

or grow irregular blood vessels. Consequently, these lenses are extremely dangerous to wear even for a few hours.

All contact lenses require a prescription in order to be legally sold. Federal law states any sale of contact lenses made without verifying the prescription with the prescribing eye doctor or without a complete copy of the prescription is illegal. This is law for a reason. These cosmetic lenses sold without a prescription are not regulated, and we are now seeing hard evidence to prove there are chemicals which can permanently damage your eyes, even when worn for a short period of time. Only contact lenses prescribed by an eye doctor and worn according to the prescribed schedule are safe to wear.

Top ways to prevent exercise injuries Commentary by Bill Hartman October is National Physical Therapy Month!

We want to give you three solid pieces of advice to get you fit and keep you pain free.

Always warm-up before you exercise You’ve probably heard this since you took gym class back in high school, but it may be one of the most important fitness parts of your exercise program to keep you healthy. A proper warm-up raises body temperature to make producing energy easier, improves movement to prevent excessive joint or muscle strain, and prepares your nervous system for more intensive activities. Warm-ups are so important that at IFAST we say if you don’t have time to warm-up, you don’t have time to train with us.

Avoid repeated flexion activities Everyone who talks about exercise talks about abs. A lean, strong six-pack is the most common sign for “being in shape.” Everyone is also likely to experience back pain if your train your abs incorrectly. The typical way many do

sit-ups or stomach crunches is a great way to become a back pain patient. Bending the spine forward and backward repeatedly can progressively cause wear and tear on your spinal discs, much like bending a credit card back and forth will cause it to break. At IFAST, we teach countless abdominal exercises that actually protect the spine from such stress.

Get in shape to run Many folks still think that running is the best way to get in shape. While we love running for exercise, at IFAST we think you need to get in shape to run. Every time you push off your foot when running you absorb a force equal to five times your body weight. That means running requires not only a good pair of shoes, a strong heart and lungs, but strong muscles too. Insufficient preparation to run longer distances can quickly result in injury.

Blueprint for Improvement: An updated bathroom Commentary by Larry Greene

After

After solutions: The goal was to achieve a clean and “beachy” design that would last through time.

1. The oversized tub was removed and allowed room for a larger shower.

2. A more open layout was created which made the room seem larger and brighter by filtering in natural daylight.

3. A heater was installed in the toe kick of the vanity to help distribute heat throughout the room.

4. Decorative feet were added to the new tall vanities so they appeared more like furniture.

5. Sufficient and functional storage was added to the room using cabinetry and hooks.

6. The family’s stained glass windows finished off the beach theme by adding fun color.

Before

Background Info: This home is in the Smokey Knoll subdivision in Carmel. The homeowners have lived in the house for 24 years and felt it was time to remodel. They decided to start with the master bath.

Before problems: The room was dated and starting to show significant wear. The oversized tub was rarely used and blocked off the rest of the room. The vanities were short and lacked much needed storage. The shower was small and felt dark and closed in.

Parenting Time During the Holidays The holiday season can be a difficult time if you are going through or just recently divorced. This is especially true for young children, therefore, it is important to know what the schedule will be and deal with issues that may arise before they turn into substantial and potentially volatile disputes.

The Guidelines. If your divorce decree or preliminary order indicates that you will operate under the Holiday provisions of the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, then the first step is to be certain that you have read these provisions and understand how they divide the holiday periods in question. A considerable amount of misunderstandings can be avoided by both parties reviewing the Guidelines and any discussions about varying from them can start from common ground. Ultimately, if the parties cannot agree and the decree establishes the provisions in the Guidelines as the default schedule, both sides also know what the consequences of not agreeing will be. If an agreement is reached, make sure it is clear all the way to times and dates.

Stick to whatever schedule you agree upon and be courteous in timely dropping off and picking up the children, understanding that each moment with both families is precious for them and that scheduling delays can result in larger conflicts between parents.

Consider Family Traditions. Holiday traditions are one thing children can look forward to even during difficult times. If your family has holiday traditions, make every effort to continue them. If the divorce or separation is recent and you believe it may be difficult on the children, consider a vacation or begin a new and fun family tradition that the children can get excited about. For example, if, historically, your family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve and the other parent’s family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Day, you should create a schedule that allows the children to participate and enjoy both families’ traditions each and every year. Sometimes, if the holiday traditions are identical, it may make sense to alternate holidays on a yearly basis rather than break-up each holiday into equal parts. This way, the children are able to participate in both homes even if the celebrations are on different days.

Alternating holidays on an annual basis can also create more relaxing family holiday experiences as opposed to the stress involved with coordinating schedules.

Communicate. If the children are not with you for the holidays, call them, send cards and/or emails. Consider creating your own family celebration either before or after the actual holiday. Children love celebrations and gifts, regardless of the day and time. Conversely, if the children are spending the holiday with you, you should encourage and allow them to speak with the other parent. If the children are too young to call on their own, help them make or receive a call, and always give the children and the other parent a quiet moment together.

Put the Children First. No matter how challenging your relationship is with your children’s father/mother, please remember that he/she is the parent of your children and, therefore, you should make every effort to respect the co-parenting relationship, striving to keep your children’s best interests as your top priority.

Coordinate gift-giving. Ask the other what he/she plans on giving the children, and share your plans with the other parent. Help your children make a holiday card or purchase a gift for them to give the other parent. Offer to take your children shopping to buy presents for the other parent. For young children especially, holidays are exciting times and they want to give as much as they want to receive. Put personal feelings aside, knowing that building healthy and positive relationships between parents creates a winning situation for the entire family.

Remember that the other parent will be in your life long after the children are grown, so the more you are able to effectively communicate and co-parent, the easier the transition will be on you and your children.

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.

From places to pages: Knebel travel book on shelves now

By Audrey Bailey • news@geistcurrent.com Printed on the cover of the new book, “Flushed with Curiosity: 101 travel tales with a twist,” photos from around the world border a familiar image of white, partially author unrolled toilet paper.

Drawn on the paper are sketched-out human figures seen squatting, situated there to better illustrate the variances in bathroom practices between Eastern and Western societies.

This was the philosophy Donald Knebel, 69, author and Current columnist, had in mind when he created this book, showcasing 101 of his 150 travel columns.

“The idea was to give people a sense of the world that they wouldn’t have otherwise,” Knebel said.

A resident of Zionsville for 16 years, Knebel has always had a passion for traveling. He has a wife, Jennifer, whom he travels with, and three children: Mary, Caitlin and Chase. Knebel originally graduated from Purdue University with an engineering degree, but after a few years, decided to pursue a different path, and attended Harvard Law School.

In 1974, Knebel moved to Indianapolis to work as partner in Barnes & Thornburg LLP. He retired in 2013, and now works as an adjunct

professor at Indiana University, lectures about religious understanding and writes a travel column for Current.

Knebel first began writing these columns back in 2011.

Before this, Knebel’s passion had taken him and his wife to “all the places most people go,” including cities like Rome and Paris. But, before too long, the two were booking flights and exploring some of the world’s more exotic destinations.

“In the spring of 2006, we decided to go to Israel for about 10 days and came back with a sense that we really needed to learn more about the history and cultures of the Middle East, which is where civilization started,” Knebel said.

From there, Knebel and his wife went to Egypt, India, Syria, Turkey, Morocco and several more places, adding up to a total of around 35 different countries; all of which are featured in Knebel’s columns, along with his new book.

For more on Knebel’s new book and his travels, visit currentzionsville.com.

“Flushed With Curiosity” will be featured at Black Dog Books in Zionsville on Nov. 7 from 2-3 p.m. Knebel will be signing books and giving a presentation on his travel to Cuba, beginning at 3 p.m.

Egyptian tombs known as City of the Dead Commentary by Don Knebel Turning an old joke line on its head, hundreds of thousands of Egyptians are “just living” to get into a cemetery, travel creating one of Cairo’s most unusual tourist destinations.

In the 14th century, Cairo’s rulers established a cemetery in a desert area east of what was then one of the largest cities in the world, with a population of about 500,000.

The rulers and other elites built their mausoleums on the site, the most impressive being the domed mausoleum of Sultan al-Ashraf Qaytbay, completed in 1474, which served as a model for later tombs. The mausoleums typically included large rooms over the underground gravesite where relatives of the deceased could stay during a 40-day mourning period and subsequently visit to pay their respects and obtain blessings. Over time, smaller buildings, having a similar purpose, were built over gravesites in what became known as the “Northern Cemetery,” which now extends for four miles along a six-lane highway.

In the 20th century, Cairo grew rapidly as people moved in from the countryside. As land to accommodate the city’s increasing mil-

lions grew increasingly scarce and expensive, people began finding permanent shelter in the tomb buildings of the Northern Cemetery.

Lacking the resources to resettle them, the government tolerated the illegal squatters and their numbers grew. Today, up to a million people live in and around the tombs. Children play amidst the graves while women hang their laundry on ropes strung from one mausoleum to the next. Lacking a better solution, the government has run electric wires and provided water to some of the tombs. Vendors

set up at the entrance to the cemetery, selling food and other essentials.

Some children are the third generation living in Cairo’s tombs and have no other place to consider home. In the so-called “City of the Dead,” life goes on.

The winning students will get to have a lunchtime party and the teachers will receive gift certificates to Market District. The next deadline to submit an essay is Nov. 15. To submit your 100-word essay about your favorite teacher, email it to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.
