Ham. Co. Bicentennial torchbearers sought

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Bicentennial Torch Run will pass through Hamilton County organization Oct. 13, 2016.

Hamilton County Tourism wants to find who should help lead the way in the relay through the Burkhardt county.

“We are looking for 30 to 36 different people to carry the torch,” said Kate Burkhardt, Hamilton County Tourism communications coordinator. “Those people are anyone that could be considered a hometown hero, someone who is making a difference in their community or different organizations.”

Nominees must be current or former residents of Hamilton County.

Burkhardt said Hamilton County Tourism has developed a few different categories, including agriculture background, technology and entrepreneurship, arts and sports.

“The sky is really the limit,” Burkhardt said.

She said this presents a unique opportunity for deserving community members to receive recognition.

The torchbearers will travel by bike, car, train and fire engine in addition to running and walking.

Burkhardt said there isn’t an exact route for the Hamilton County portion of the torch run yet, but it will end on the Noblesville Courthouse Square. Some ideas include taking the torch on the Monon Trail and taking it up in a balloon at Conner Prairie.

For the nomination form: in.gov/ibc/files/torch_relay_nomination_update-9.pdf. The deadline for nominations has been open since May and will close on Dec. 31.

HCT Gives Back launches

news@geistcurrent.com

For the project “Tourism Gives,” the Hamilton County Tourism staff identified nine organizations doing big things for the county community. Hamilton County Tourism asked for nominations of particularly stellar volunteers – those who regularly go “above and beyond” what is asked

of them. Next, Hamilton County Tourism staff put together special “staycation” packages with hotel, restaurant and attraction certificates from local tourism partners as a “thank you” for the giving these volunteers do every day. The catch? None of the volunteers had any prior knowledge of the covert giving operation.

To see more of the volunteers being surprised with their gifts, visit currentinfishers.com.

Hamilton County Tourism gift wrapping Don Greenlee, second from left, has been involved with Come-to-Me Food Pantry for almost eight years and the Fishers United Methodist Church since 1987. Greenlee not only organizes donated food for the pantry, but also helps with the logistics of packing donations into the small sorting area and doing statistics. He also helps organize fundraising efforts at the Reynolds Christmas lights display in Fishers, which benefits the food pantry.

Since 2012, David Winter, middle, has been a point leader for warehouse, logistics and transport areas for Good Samaritan Network in Fishers. David is extremely active in week-to-week logistical operations. He not only functions as a transportation team truck driver on behalf of GSN, but also works with and oversees physical labor in the day to day moving and storage requirements.

Last month, Hamilton County Tourism wrapped and prepared gifts for the nine Hamilton Co. volunteers who were surprised with “staycation” packages.

A prayer for veterans

Commentary by Michael VandenBerg Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile.

Pray to the Lord for it, bereligion cause if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Jeremiah 29:7 On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the allies and Germany called a cease-fire, bringing an end to World War I. This was to put an end to the war that ended all wars. But of course, we know from our vantage that this was not then nor ever has been the case. The First World War had no victor.

They simply agreed to stop fighting to end the killing. This marked the beginning of Armistice Day, now called Veterans Day. We remember those closest to the conflict who in our stay have fought to assure our freedoms.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur said, “The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” But what kind of peace do we pray for? The peace of Armistice Day was merely a cease fire, a truce, a brief stoppage of killing. In contrast, the Hebrew word “Shalom” means a total well-being, embracing justice, charity, a spirit of wholeness and the overall health. It is holding up others in the very best of light and desiring for them the very best that God has to offer. This is why God instructed Jeremiah the prophet to tell the people that rather than despair at their plight, rather than resent one another, rather than even simply praying for a stop in the violence and war, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which they now found themselves and more than that, pray to the Lord for it.

If we do this, we are told God will provide for our own prosperity in the midst of the prosperity of those around us. This Veterans Day, we honor those fallen in war, those who serve their county and fellow man, but we should also join them in prayer that we may find within all, the Shalom of God for the world.

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

Theatre lovers create new production at Mud Creek Players Barn

By Zach Dunkin • news@geistcurrent.com

After 35 years of doing theater together – 32 of them as husband and wife – Paul and Arlene Haskins can be excused for interrupting, talking over and correcting each other and finishing each other’s sentences. Marcover story ried couples do that.

And so it went as the two stage troupers sat together recently in the quiet of the Mud Creek Players Barn to talk about their next production, the hysterical farce, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.”

“They say that couples who play together, stay together,” said Paul, who met Arlene when he was casting her for a part in one of his plays. “We have our little arguments, but most of them are here. Artistic differences, you might say.”

“We’re very artsy, creative people,” added Arlene, explaining their long-lasting togetherness. “He sculpts and paints; I do some very elaborate needle point and sing. Art is what brought us together and keeps us together.”

After years of being involved with theater in various parts of the country, the Haskinses arrived in Indy in 1990 and, following a period of

working in several local community theaters, gravitated to Mud Creek near their Geist home in 2007. Their years of experience in community theater have led to somewhat of a game-changer for the 65-year-old theater, one of the oldest, if not the oldest, community theaters in the state.

“We love community theater,” said Paul, born in Grand Rapids, Mich. “This place is like a family.”

Mud Creek members attend social events such as pitchins, parties, group outings and game nights. Most events are designed for the whole family.

As a director, Paul is known to “push the envelope.” He allows his actors freedom other director’s might not.

Saying “excuse me” and politely holding his hand as if to prevent Arlene from interjecting, Paul wanted to emphasize his approach to “blocking,” a technique in which actors need to be at a precise position on stage at a certain time.

“When I block, I have my actors move when they feel like it,” he explained. “Some directors will shout, ‘No, you move here!’ or, ‘Move here on this word!’ Actors are not puppets.

They are people with personalities. As a director, I don’t want a bunch of little puppets running around on stage. I want different personalities. I want to see what they can offer because I don’t know everything.”

Both Paul and Arlene have been acting since they were in grade school. They have even acted on stage together, once playing a husband and wife. As a youngster, Paul played the Easter Bunny and did impersonations, like Bette Davis, for example, using oranges under his shirt to create her bosom. He once went to Hollywood “to become a movie star and ran that bit into the

ground.”

New Yorker Arlene fell hard for the footlights at age 8 when she saw her first of many Broadway plays “when tickets were $7.” In the early ’60s, she would see the original Tony Award-winning “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” starring Zero Mostel. “It was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life.”

“She’s the one who talked me into doing it here,” said Paul, who has seen a couple of community theater productions of the play.

The musical (a band will make a rare Mud Creek appearance for this show) tells the story of a slave named Pseudolus, played by Aaron Cleveland, and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the lady next door. The plot displays classic elements of farce: puns, mistaken identity, slamming doors, satire and bad jokes.

“It’s bawdy, but not naughty. It’s sexy without any bad words,” Paul said. “It’s vaudeville. It’s shtick.

It’s a comical tour de force.”

From mother to martyr

F R O M T HE B A C KSH O P

Sail on, Old Salt I’ve given Brian the week off here, and instead I’m going to share some life lessons taught to me by a man who, by the time you read this, very well may be sailing on to his next adventure. My dad, Bob, is nearly 88 years old, and failing quickly. He has had a great, full life, no question. He was only too happy to share lessons with those he knew and those he loved. Here are but a few (I could fill a book) that have helped me, and I would hope they would help you, too: • “Learn as much about as many things as possible and stay intellectually alert.” – His thirst for knowledge knew no bounds.

• “Go ahead and fill your glass.” – He never saw it as half empty, always half full, and he never quit trying to make it brim.

• “Self-pity is a luxury none of us can afford.” – I try not to waste time and energy feeling sorry for myself in any situation. It seems a waste of energy.

• “Why worry about that which you cannot control?” – He lived it to the best of his ability, and I do, as well.

He has been a steadfastly loyal husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle, advisor and friend to many. That will be rewarded somewhere along the line, I have to believe. He gave me a love of sailing, music, photography, comedy and Ohio State football.

As my favorite songwriter, Jimmy Buffett, once wrote: “He’s somewhere on the ocean now/The place he ought to be/One hand on the starboard rail/And he’s waving back at me.”

I consider myself enriched. Maybe you will, too.

It’s been a lovely cruise. Sail on, Old Salt.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Percentages

Commentary by Terry Anker

Competitors in contract bridge are said to play the percentages when they evaluate between any number of reasonable actions selecting those of greatest likelihood to achieve positive result. Really most of us do it every day. We consider many variables, simple and complex, with an eye towards optimization. Perhaps we don’t think of these decisions as being framed through a lens of mathematical probability.

But be sure, we are running the numbers each time we pull into traffic, eat food we didn’t prepare, or assert a personal point of view to an important customer or to our boss. In each of these, we are assuming risk. Yet, we are also necessarily sifting through an extensive array of choices, each designed to maximize our chosen outcome.

So, it is little wonder that we modern humans employ scores of almost-clichéd expressions pointing to our fascination with the use of equations. The 80/20 rule marches out as dictum showing the dis-

tribution of the effect of a minority on the majority. And political leaders now argue about points on a poll rather than issues on a ballot.

Some years ago while confronting a significant personal challenge, a friend worked to counsel me through my grief. Making use of society’s affinity for percentages, he illustrated with this simple equation that our fear of failure as a social construct is misplaced. In my failure, 90 percent wouldn’t actually notice – there is some conceit in imagining that they would. Five percent of the remaining folks would revel in the pain they could see me experience – I shouldn’t give them the satisfaction. And 5 percent of the people loved me unconditionally, their commitment was stalwart. It turns out, he was 100 percent right.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK There’s nothing in this world that comes easy. There are a lot of people who aren’t going to bother to win.

We learn in football to get up and go once more.

– Woody Hayes

In the last couple of weeks my husband Doo has taken to calling me “martyr” instead “mother.” He’s trying to get me humor to notice how often I complain about things that I don’t really ever do. But the way I see it, a mom can’t help but sacrifice her happiness for her children. Hormones, gut instincts and workingparent guilt are nature’s way of ensuring no mother will ever experience true relaxation or finish a smut novel.

Last night was a perfect example of how easily I’m manipulated by my children. I’m sitting on the couch, exhausted, trying to enjoy a quiet moment. Doo has acquiesced to giving me a foot rub (in return for his own later) and for once the dog is not yelping at me for a ball toss. All too soon, one daughter sidles up complaining of a sore shoulder while the other plops down in a nearby chair, frustrated to tears, wanting help with math.

Doo denied both girls immediately: “I’m tired and watching ‘Family Guy’.” And though I was just as spent as Doo and definitely did not want to forfeit a semi-free rubdown, I suddenly found myself tracking down Advil while explaining how to solve a system of linear equations. Why? Because I can’t say “no” to my kids. Not when one baby is in pain and the other is close to an adolescent breakdown.

Not even on a Saturday, when I finally have a chance to sleep in, and could have shoulder-daughter set her own alarm and organize a carpool for her early morning guard competition. Nope, I’ll Joan-of-Arc it and get up at 5:30 a.m. to gently wake her, make her a delicious, nutritional breakfast and then drop her off with an “I love you. You’re beautiful. Make good choices!” farewell. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I be selfish when it comes to my kids?

Because I work full time. Because I have Mama Bear instincts. Because someone has to ensure that our offspring graduate and move out. Sorry, Doo, but by design, this mother is a martyr.

Peace out.

Residents team together to send USO packages to troops overseas

By Audrey Bailey • news@geistcurrent.com Inside Sandy Hughey’s SUV is an interesting assortment of goodies on the back seat. A reusable grocery bag is filled with travel kits containing deodorant, toothgiving back brushes, tooth paste, lotion, nail clippers and wet wipes. Cradled next to these hygiene essentials are two large boxes of Slim Jims, a favorite snack of the troops.

These and other donated items are waiting to be packaged and shipped to one of several United Service Organizations scattered around the world. Once received, they will be distributed to any soldier in need of hygiene supplies and goods.

As a 13-year volunteer of USO of Indiana, Hughey has been providing these types of services at the Indianapolis airport center, one of four centers located in Indiana. In addition to the airport, there is a USO center at Camp Atterbury, Muscatatuk, which is an urban training center, and also at Ft. Wayne’s air

force facility.

According to Hughey, any church, organization, school, family or individual may send care packages. And these donations are welcomed throughout the entire year, not just during the holidays. Travel size hygiene products, DVDs, easily preserved food items and reading materials are a few of the items recommended individuals and organizations send. For a large size, flat rate APO/FPO box, shipping expense is $15.90 and is insured for up to $50.

In operation since 1941, USO of Indiana is a non-profit, chartered organization. It relies almost entirely on in-state funding from businesses, organizations and individuals to help provide soldiers and their families a “home away from home”.

“USO is a great, great organization,” said Charles Ridings, executive director at USO of Indiana. “And not just to donate to, but certainly to volunteer. It is a wonderful volunteer experience.”

Locals share military memories

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s hard to find a more perfect fit than David Engel to be the director and choreographer for Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “The performance Andrews Brothers.”

After all, Engel is well familiar with the musical having performed as Max Andrews in the original offBroadway production.

Engel also previously directed the show for ATI’s production in July of 2011.

Engel Engel prepared the cast for two weeks before the show opened Nov. 6, running through Nov. 22 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The performances will continue on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

“It’s very musical-number heavy, so there’s a lot to take in.

When we did it before, we had an extra week to learn it,” Engel said. “It’s the exact same cast. The guys were overwhelmed last time because I just kept throwing stuff at them every day.”

The second part of the musical is the Andrews Brothers putting on a USO show for the troops in an island in the South Pacific in 1943 during World War II. The Andrews Sisters are quarantined with chicken pox and won’t make the show, so the brothers, who are stagehands familiar with their show, dress up as sisters so the troops won’t be disappointed. Engel describes the brothers as lovable losers.

“It’s one of the most fun shows to do but one of the most exhausting,” Engel said.

Skating rink to open at Hamilton Town Center Nov. 14

By Zach Dunkin • news@geistcurrent.com When Ball State grad Sarah Steele moved to Minnesota, she noticed a big difference between how Hoosiers and Minnesotans spent their winters. While Hoosiers were holed up indoors, save for a few opportunities for sledding family fun and skiing, the hearty Minnesota residents embraced the outdoors, particularly when it came to ice skating “They love their cold weather – their hockey, their ice skating,” Steele said. “Kids 3-5 years old were skating circles around us, and there were rinks all over the place.”

There are nearly 50 outdoor rinks alone in the Twin Cities area, close to where the Steeles lived before moving back to Indiana.

Steele “(My husband and I) thought how cool it would be to bring some of that clean, family fun here,” Steele said. “We were attracted to the idea of creating something totally different and a little nostalgic with people skating outdoors instead of inside some building.”

So, Steele looked into the possibility of constructing an outdoor rink at a location near their home.

And now Steele said that she hopes that what works for Minnesota works for Indiana when she opens her winter dream this month at Hamilton Town Center. Although a “soft opening” is planned earlier in the week, the official opening on Nov. 14

will be part of the opening of the mall’s Holiday Fest and the arrival of Santa Claus.

“Hamilton Town Center is a go-to destination for families looking for unique, fun holiday entertainment,” said Lindsey Alltop, director of marketing and business development at Hamilton Town Center. “The skating rink is the perfect addition to our holiday event schedule, and we are thrilled to offer our guests this one-of-a-kind experience.”

According to Alltop, the opening event from 4-8 p.m. will include performances from country star Joe Nichols, Not Your Average Boy Band, The Indianapolis Children's Choir and Zooperstars and a fireworks show.

In addition, there will be live reindeer from White Tail Acres, vendors, food trucks and free kids activities, including face painting, storytelling with Mrs. Claus, a magician, airbrush tem-

porary tattoos and a balloon artist. Adults can enjoy a beverage from Sun King Brewery or Harmony Winery.

“The skating scene will be movie-esque,” said Steele. “We’ll have lights and a little music to go along with the skating. We are hoping people come and enjoy a Christmas tradition like this.”

The refrigerated rink will be located on a parking lot at the west end of the mall property near Cabela’s. The area also will have Santa’s House and another area for the sale of live Christmas trees.

The 65-foot-by-85-foot rink will be temporary; the game plan is for it to be open through the end of January.

“We realize there is a possibility of a 60-degree day in November, but we should be able to keep the ice frozen with our refrigerated system,” said Steele. “And we could stay open later in January if the weather cooperates and the demand is there.”

Hours of operation will be 3-10 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m.-11 p.m. on weekends. Cost of admission will be $12, which includes skate rental.

Santa visits at Hamilton Town Center Caring Santa: Dec. 6, 9:30-11 a.m. Children with special needs can enjoy a visit with Santa in calm, soothing environment.

Pet Photos with Santa: Dec. 13, 7-9 p.m. Guests are invited to bring their pets to have photos taken with Santa.

Zionsville rocker hoping new music gets airplay

By Zach Dunkin • news@geistcurent.com

Brett Wiscons’s new EP was released Nov. 7.

(Submitted photo by Kurtis Bowerstock.)

In his new song, “Side Stage,” Zionsville singer-songwriter Brett Wiscons sings about an upstart band whose “gonna prove music you all wrong when we get a hit song” as it plays on the smaller, alternate stage at a concert venue.

With a contagious guitar riff, the ’70s-style rock tune refers to a place – career-wise and physically – where almost every music act has been, even successful bands like Hootie and the Blowfish, Wiscons’ major influence. It’s a setting where the rookie band is barely audible over the amped-up sound of the headliner on the main stage.

In his mid-30s, and with his first child on the way, the genial Wiscons has no illusion of being the next Darius Rucker. But like any creative soul, whether an artist, an author or a musician, he has his aspirations.

Wiscons said he hopes to “just get my music

on the radio.”

“And I want to get my music on TV and film,” he added. “Those are my goals. I’m getting a little closer. I got my first royalty check last year, something I thought would never happen.”

If a smart radio programmer out there hears Wiscons and vocalist Anne Balbo harmonize on the poignant “Don’t Be the One,” the first single from his new EP, “The Heineken Sessions,” he’d be wise to place it in rotation.

The EP was released Nov. 6. Wiscons said the EP’s debut single was inspired by a turning point in his three-year partnership with his wife Jennifer when he needed to think about what it would be like without her.

“It was just a little argument like married couples sometimes have; it wasn’t to the point that it was completely bleak, but I didn’t want it to get there,” he said. “As a songwriter, I just decided to go to the extreme and visualize what it would have been like if it had gotten there … what it would have been like to lose

her.”

A solo version of the song by Wiscons and the single version with Balbo, vocalist for Indy band Zanna-Doo, are included on the EP. Recorded at Stone Point Studios near Charleston, S.C., the EP was produced and co-written by Mark Bryan, the two-time Grammy-winning producer and founding member of Hootie & the Blowfish. Money raised from Kickstarter, a funding platform in which people can make donations to an artistic project, and Wiscon’s sponsor, Heineken, financed the EP’s recording and marketing.

“There was a time recently when I thought, ‘I’ve been doing this for 15 years and nothing is really happening.’ Then I started working with Mark, and I write these good songs, and I get that royalty check, and it gave me a little more hope that something good can happen.”

Too much technology

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley “Well, we really overdid it this time!” How many times have you said that to yourself?

Remembering times when we overdid it, it would be wise to look at some history so we don’t repeat our mistakes.

One of the joys/curses of a modern smart phone is that little weather icon. It seems we start to click it 10 days ahead of our next tailgate party. Then as we get a few days away from the game we click it and look at the hourly temperatures and rain possibilities. If you count the times you check the weather it can be into the dozens. Ah, technology!

We once experienced tailgate preparations where the weather forecast worsened all week. Early on, as we planned our menu, we thought that our chicken noodle soup would be a warm treat for our guests. Later, we had to decide on how we were going to get our soup to the game and have it be piping hot.

When we finally made our trek to the game, our car was packed with every imaginable item to keep soup hot. We had heated coolers, grills, crockpots and a bunch of other stuff like chairs and tables. We really had to juggle all these gadgets just to fit them into our car and later to fit them into a setting so we could serve our guests and keep them dry.

Our website, tailgatershandbook.com, has a 1950s photo of a tailgate picnic at Colgate University. The folks in that picture had only a picnic basket and a thermos bottle. They had no need for a crock pot or thermoelectric cooler/heater even if these were invented back then. Maybe we would have been better served, considering the weather, if we had prepared like those folks did more than 60

Spicy crispy Brussels sprouts Commentary by Ceci Martinez

This Thanksgiving, be a little bit daring with your menu and surprise your family and guests with this easy, healthy, yet delicious vegan side dish – spicy crispy Brussels sprouts. Yes I know, a lot of people will freak out just at the mention of this vegetable, but this recipe will totally change your mind about Brussels sprouts! If you are still hesitant about trying it out let me add one more thing; Brussels sprouts, like other cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage), are potent defenders against cancer. These vegetables contain phytonutrients that help cleanse the body of cancer-causing substances. It is low in cholesterol, rich in vitamins and high in fiber.

Note: You can make this dish the day before your dinner. It will taste even better!

Serves: 4 Ingredients: • 4 cups Brussels sprouts, stems trimmed, halved, leaves separated • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil • Coarse sea salt • 1/2 lemon • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce • 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce

Spicy crispy Brussels sprouts add to Thanksgiving. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

On a rimmed baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts leaves with oil and season with salt. Give them a good shake so they are all evenly coated. Roast until leaves are crisp and browned around edges, nearly charred, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove sprouts to a bowl, squeeze lemon juice over them and drizzle with Sriracha and fish sauce. Toss to combine.

Woods teaches Ageless Grace

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Kathy Woods moved from Chicago to Fishers a little more than a year ago, she found that many people didn’t seniors know about the exercise program Ageless Grace.

“The best way to show them is to do it with them,” Woods said. “So I have the activity director watch or do it with us. The people are learning but more importantly the activity directors are learning about Ageless Grace.”

While Woods can teach some classes, she knows she can’t teach every day multiple times a day so her goal is to teach the activity directors.

Woods has conducted free Ageless Grace demonstration classes at Bickford of Carmel, Carmel Health and Living along with Allisonville Meadows and NorthRidge Gracious Retirement Living in Fishers. She also has given complimentary classes at the Indiana Parkinson Foundation and the Prairie Lakes Health Campus in Noblesville and SarahCare of Indianapolis.

“It is so different from any of the other exercise programs,” Woods said. “We sit in a chair for stability. A lot of the people are using a walker or a wheelchair. But it’s not

Cyberbullying and kids Commentary by Jessica Saberman, MD

Monday - Saturday 10-5  www.rugsindy.com

Kathy Woods in one of her Ageless Grace classes. (Submitted photo)

We hear a lot about “cyberbullying” and the impact it can have on young people today. A recent family medicine study published in “American Family Physician” reveals that between 10 and 35 percent of adolescents say they have been cyberbullied. With the average teenager on screens for about 10 hours a day, there is a growing arena in which this type of bullying can occur.

Cyberbullying is the intentional use of media (texting, email, social media, online gaming, instant messaging, etc.) to convey false, embarrassing or hostile information about someone else. Similar to off-line bullying, victims of cyberbullying can experience a variety of harmful symptoms, including depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, declining school performance, and physical symptoms, such as difficulty sleeping, headaches and stomachaches. Today we know that bullying can have lasting impact even into adulthood.

Many of the ways parents can protect children from cyberbullying are also helpful

strategies for general online oversight. Given the amount of time young people spend in front of screens, developing a proactive plan for supervising online activity is important.

• Monitor social media activity. While the level and type of monitoring depend on the child’s age and unique circumstances, parents should know how their children spend time online, including the social media sites they use.

• Limit screen time. Again, depending on your child’s age, set limits on daily screen time and establish rules to help kids “unplug” – such as putting phones and devices away during dinner and before bedtime.

• Watch for signs. If you see behavior changes or your child exhibits uncharacteristic symptoms, tell him or her you’ve noticed and talk about the situation.

Blueprint for Improvement: Cosmetic kitchen remodel on a budget Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a warm and traditional design that would last through time.

1. The existing kitchen desk was removed to allow for more functional cabinet storage and a new “nook” for everyday household items.

2. A new sink and faucet, backsplash tile and hardware made a big impact in the overall design.

3. Functional pull-out accessories were added to some of the cabinets.

4. The space feels brighter with painted cabinets, recessed can lights, pendants and undercabinet lighting.

5. The design color palette stemmed from the new, unique slate gray appliances the family purchased.

6. Freshly painted walls in the kitchen and adjacent rooms finished off the new look.

Before

Background Info: This home is located in the Woodgate Subdivision in Carmel. The homeowners have lived in the house for 15 years and felt it was time to remodel the kitchen on a budget.

Before problems: An update to the existing oak veneer cabinets was definitely needed. It was time to replace the flooring, appliances and brass fixtures as well. With only two small lights in the kitchen and a large pantry closet, the space was feeling dark and underutilized.

St. Thomas and the Kapaleshvara Temple Commentary by Don Knebel

Teacher of the Month!

CONGRATS!

The winner for this month's Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Market District, are: student Lauren Lo and teacher Mrs. Elise Byrd of Fishers/Geist.

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.

The Kapaleshvara Temple is the largest of many colorful Hindu temples in Chennai, a city in southern India previously travel known as Madras. The temple’s history is entwined with a dubious claim about a disciple of Jesus.

In the seventh century, devotees of Shiva, an important Hindu deity, erected a temple along the coast of Mylapore, now a district of Chennai. Called “Kapaleshvara” after an alias of Shiva, the temple remembered an ancient story about Shiva and the peacocks for which Mylapore is named. In the sixteenth century, Portuguese missionaries promoted a story that Thomas, the disciple known for doubting Jesus’ resurrection, had sailed to India in 52 A.D. and was speared to death in Mylapore. Proponents of this historically unsupportable tale claimed to have located the tomb of Thomas under the Kapaleshvara Temple, providing an excuse for demolishing the temple, which honored beliefs they found offensive, and erecting a church on the site. Today, the stately gothic-style Basilica of St. Thomas, built by the British in 1898 on the original temple/church site, claims to house Thomas’ tomb and the spear that killed him.

Shiva worshippers eventually erected a re-

placement Kapaleshvara Temple a few blocks inland from its original location. Built in the Dravidian style common in southern India, the imposing temple features a 120-foot-tall gopuram, an entrance pyramid covered with hundreds of colorful effigies of Hindu deities and characters from Hindu stories. Inside the temple, barechested priests perform six rituals each day worshiping Shiva, represented symbolically as the lingam, a phallic shape going back to the beginnings of Indian civilization.

Visitors to Chennai’s Kapaleshvara Temple

and nearby Basilica of St. Thomas can experience two dramatically different ways of acknowledging the divine. They can also learn how religious intolerants have too often destroyed the worship places of others in plugging their competing beliefs.
