Gov. Holcomb on drug epidemic: ‘All hands on deck’

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com When Gov. Eric Holcomb first took the stage at Conner Prairie for a legislative breakfast targeted toward county chamber-of-compolitics merce members, it was all laughs.

He joked about his collection of presidential autographs – lacking Washington, the first Adams and Lincoln – and about his height.

As the laughter died down, WTHR-13 reporter Kevin Rader brought issues to the surface, beginning with his recent pardon of Keith Cooper. On Feb. 9, the governor pardoned Cooper, a Chicago man Holcomb believed was wrongly convicted for a 1996 Elkhart armed robbery.

“I respect where previous governors landed on this issue, but I thought for myself it’s never too late to do the right thing,” Holcomb said. “I thought this gentleman was innocent and, with all respect to our system, this authority is unique to a governor, and I acted. I did what I considered to be the right thing.”

Holcomb said he thought about the case every day for the past month, and that he was “110 percent sure” Cooper was wrongfully convicted.

Moving on from Cooper, Holcomb explained how he granted East Chicago a disaster declaration for the West Calumet neighborhood, where approximately 99 residents will be relocated due to lead contamination.

However, the two largest topics during Holcomb’s time were infrastructure and the statewide drug epidemic.

Because Indiana is the Crossroads of America, Holcomb said the phrase is more than just the state’s motto. He mentioned a 20-year plan involving roads, bridges and all other modes of transportation connecting the state to the rest of the nation and the world.

“I think we are all in agreement it needs to be a long-term plan, a 20-year plan that gets us to the right place,” Holcomb said. “A lot will change in the world over a 20-year period. We can’t just pour a bunch of money into concrete. We do need to make sure we are not just maintaining but finishing projects and then addressing new ones that come our way, too. We can’t do that unless we have a long-term, sustainable program

in place.”

When Rader asked Holcomb about the drug epidemic, Holcomb said it was “bad enough that all hands are needed on deck.”

“No matter where you are in any of the 92 counties, and you realize half of all obituaries are drug-related, something has happened,” Holcomb said. “I saw a sign outside a business in the state of Indiana that said, ‘We do not drug test, now hiring.’ That’s where we are today, so this is not just a personal crisis, this is a business crisis as well. We have to get this right, and it will require all hands on deck at every level – state, especially local, and federal hands all working together or we will continue to see story after story after story and not just budget strain, but lives lost.”

Holcomb said that although prevention might be the way to fix the epidemic, treatment must be a priority.

“We need to make sure our efforts are aligned and that we are getting folks focused on the prevention, on the treatment and on the enforcement, all three fronts,” he said. “We will have to do more to make sure people get the help they need to get on the path for recovery. We have to have more providers available on the local level.

It’s going to need a lot of follow up.”

Local Muslims respond to Trump administration’s travel ban

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com When Ali Al-Rawi fled the violence in his home country of Iraq in 2007, he joined thousands of other refugees who politics found safety, support and a fresh start in the U.S. For years, he’s been working to bring his family to the U.S., too, which he said will “save their lives.” But those efforts came to a sudden halt when President Donald Trump signed an executive order Jan. 27 temporarily suspending refugee admissions and banning people from seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the U.S. On Feb. 3, a federal judge blocked the ban. The Trump administration appealed but an appellate court stayed the ruling.

Al-Rawi’s brother and his family lived as refugees in Syria for five years. When conditions became too dangerous, they moved to Turkey. Now, he doesn’t know if they’ll ever make it to the U.S. “It’s so bad. I’m waiting for them 10 years,” said Al-Rawi, an Indianapolis resident. “I got (U.S.) citizenship two years ago, and I applied for them. I’m going to be a sponsor for them when they come, find a job for them, buy a car for them, tell them what is the system of life over here, but I think this is just dreams. I can’t make it.”

Al-Rawi is a member of Al Salam, a Muslim community center near 96th Street and Michigan Road that serves residents of Carmel, Zionsville and surrounding areas. He is among the many local Muslims struggling to make sense of the Trump administration’s policies they feel indirectly target their community.

Hera Ashraf, a Carmel resident and member of Al Salam, said Trump is only following through on campaign promises, but much quicker than she expected. Since he signed the order, she said local response has been positive, as strangers have asked about her well-being and what they can do to help.

She was overwhelmed by the show of support at a rally protesting Trump’s travel ban last month at the Indianapolis International Airport and believes these types of events are key in responding to the administration.

“The majority of people there weren’t Muslim, so just seeing incidents like this across the country is what’s going to push us forward and get us through this bump in the road,” she said.

Ashhar Madni grew up in the Muslim minority in India, and he said the current anti-Muslim

In December 2016, Ali Al-Rawi met then-Gov. Mike Pence when he visited his office to represent refugees in Indiana. Pence had attempted to block aid to Syrian refugees at the state level, but his policy was ruled unconstitutional in court. (Submitted photo)

rhetoric is like déjà vu from his time there.

The Carmel resident believes Trump signed the orders to assure his base that he’s taking action, but he’s unsure about its impact and effectiveness.

He said the Muslim community must be “more vocal and visible now than ever before” and make an effort to reach out to their neighbors and educate them about their religion.

“The onus is on us to do that,” Madni said.

Madni is urging the local Muslim community to write to the Trump administration to outline their response to his policies and explain how the orders are affecting them. Ashraf penned a letter to President Barack Obama in 2016 expressing support after he visited a Baltimore mosque. Not only did she receive a reply, but she was invited to the White House and had the opportunity to shake the president’s hand.

Ashraf doesn’t expect a similar response from Trump, but she is urging Muslims to engage in conversations and answer questions from their neighbors of all political views.

“Now more than ever, both sides need to step out of their comfort zones and really get to know each other’s perspectives,” she said.

“That’s the only way we’ll be able to move forward.”

Afra Hussain, an Indiana University graduate student who grew up in Carmel, agrees.

“The important thing is to be positive and focus on what unites us rather than what divides us,” she said. “We’re all still Americans and we all want the best for our country.”

You Can Age-Proof Your Brain – At Any Age

written by Chef Wendell Fowler

“Processed foods and any foods that are hyperallergenic can take a toll on brain health,” says Medical Daily. The Journal of Clinical Investigation reported high-fat processed food consumption can damage the hypothalamus, part of the brain responsible for regulating hunger and thirst. A study in Neurology reported a high intake of trans fat is linked to brain shrinkage.

It’s never too late in life to consciously avoid or limit consuming these foods.

You can age-proof your brain at any age.

There are several diseases and injuries that can affect the brain, including meningitis, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. For optimal brain health, it is recommended that people eat leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, and beans, to get enough brain-friendly vitamins like Omega 3 EFA’s from nuts or fish,

B-complex, D-3, zinc and lots of nutrients from leafy green vegetables.

We know the root of all health is in the brain – so at Westminster Village North, we offer MemoryMeals – brain healthy recipes designed to slow cognitive decline.

The City of Westfield was granted approximately $2 million to construct a roundabout at Oak Ridge Road and Greyhound Pass. The proposal received backlash from Village Farms neighborhood residents.

Proposed roundabout faces uncertain future, on hold

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Based on traffic studies and the future of an intersection just north of it, City of Westfield officials believe Oak roads Ridge Road and Greyhound Pass requires a roundabout.

The city received a $2 million grant to construct a one-lane roundabout at the intersection, but the proposal met resistance from Village Farms residents. The roundabout has been put on hold, and if the city doesn’t decide to take the grant in the next few weeks, it will not be able to use the money.

“We had federal dollars toward the project to build a roundabout,” Communications Director Erin Murphy said. “Public Works has done numerous traffic studies which has shown it would be safer to build a roundabout. They were trying to work with Village Farms residents to come to a consensus and to show this is what our studies have revealed to us.

Village Farms residents were very outspoken, and they really don’t want that intersection to be a roundabout.”

The project has been in discussion for approximately two years, and council members, public works staff and Mayor Andy Cook have spoken to Village Farms residents.

“It became all too clear this is not what they want,” Murphy said.

With or without the grant, Murphy said there will need to be a roundabout at the intersection in the future, but there is no timeline. A roundabout also will be constructed at Oak Ridge Road and 156th Street.

“Once that happens, traffic is going to really flood that intersection at the four-way stop at Greyhound Pass and Oak Ridge Road,” Murphy said. “Roundabouts are meant to be safer and more efficient. That will be a more efficient and safer way for people to go and travel, and they will use it and end up hitting that fourway stop, which will make that intersection less safe because it’s not a roundabout.”

Village Farms HOA President Doug Holtz stated the HOA board has not taken a position on the intersection and remains neutral. To provide feedback on the project, email councilmembers@westfield.in.gov.

Cherish earns NCA accreditation

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Teacher OF THE MONTH

CONGRATULATIONS!

The winners for February’s Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Edge Guys, are: Student Jaden Cruse • Teacher Wade Denver Westfield High School The winning teacher will receive a $50 visa gift card from Edge Guys and the winning essayist will win a pizza party for their class, courtesy of Papa John’s.

The next deadline for submitting essays is Feb. 24. Send a 100-word essay describing your favorite teacher to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.

Cherish achieved a strong affirmation that it is performing its child advocacy role at the highest levels. update Cherish has been awarded accreditation by the National Children’s Alliance following an extensive application and site review process. The National Children’s Alliance is the accrediting agency for Children’s Gamble Advocacy Centers (CAC) across the nation. NCA awards various levels of accreditation and membership to centers responding to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient.

A nonprofit formed in 2009, the Noblesville-based Cherish serves as the child advocacy center, providing abuse intervention and prevention, for Hamilton County. Services include child forensic interviews, advocacy, community education, trauma therapy intervention and psycho-educational groups.

According to a press release, the NCA awards various levels of accreditation and membership to centers responding to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient, and put the needs of child victims of abuse first. Accreditation is the highest level of membership with NCA and denotes excellence in service provision.

Cherish Executive Director Wendy Gamble said it is a huge accomplishment for her organization.

“This is very rare,” Gamble said. “There are only six (accredited centers) in the state. We’re the only one in the area. This says we are following all the steps correctly at the highest standards nationwide. It’s a very big boost for our whole team.”

Gamble said the accreditation helps with credibility with law enforcement, prosecutors and judges.

“We were rated at the A-plus level. There was nothing recommended that we work on,” Gamble said.

Cherish had been awarded NCA associate member status in late 2015.

Gamble said it took nine months for the organization to be accredited.

“They go through everything that you are possibly doing,” Gamble said. “Lots of places have the site review, and there are tons of things that they don’t pass and they go through that process.”

In March, Cherish will start its Hope for Children campaign.

The organization plans to roll out ways the public can help play a critical role in a child’s journey to finding healing, Gamble said. The support will go directly toward providing trauma therapy for children who have been victimized by abuse. Gamble said information will be available soon on the campaign the website, CherishCAC.org.

Each year, staff from Hamilton Co. Parks & Recreation uses its skills in the outdoors to literally tap into nature for maple syrup within properties and parks owned outdoors by the department.

This year is no different, as the department will again host its annual Maple Madness program at Bray Family Homestead Park, 4528 Sheridan Rd., Noblesville, March 4.

In an area known as Sugar Grove within the park, guests will learn each step in the syrupmaking process in rounds of free, guided tours that are open to the public.

The tour will show how to tap into the trees, then how the sap is boiled down to syrup inside the sugar shack. Traditional and modern equipment and methods used in processing maple syrup will be featured. In the final stops of the tour, guests will learn about the history of the Bray family on the homestead – who owned the land for 160 years and tapped its trees for their personal use – as well as Native American ties to tapping the trees in the Hamilton Co. area, with a final stop at the Sugar Shop, where maple products will be sold.

Tours will be given approximately once each hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Guests are encouraged to wear warm clothes and boots and enter the park off of Hinkle Road, parking in the paved parking

Local fa mily excels in arts, design

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Aaron and Jen Sherrick come from a background rich in art, so little wonder they passed those traits cover story on to their children.

The Westfield parents’ reassuring vision led to a family of eclectic artists who work in animation, woodworking, photography, YouTube productions, drawing and comedy.

“My dad was a business owner. He was an entrepreneur my whole life,” Jen said.

“My mom identified I was artsy and good at drawing things I saw, and she would encourage me. I had a lot of encouragement to do whatever I wanted to do.”

“Neither one of us was told we could never do something,” Aaron added.

When Aaron and Jen met on a blind date, Jen remembers her friend telling her she would love him because of his artistic side.

The Sherricks’ 18-year-old daughter, Madison, recently won a Gold Key award through the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. Madison submitted a portfolio of animation and two illustrated pieces.

“The more you submit, the more likely you are to win something,” Madison said.

“I got an honorable mention for my portrait and a Gold Key for my animation reel. It was like a frame-by-frame kind of animatic.

Like one frame every few seconds to get the idea. It was like a little story about someone who gets lost in the snow and finds a lighthouse and there’s a ghost inside of it.”

Because her animation reel received a Gold Key, it will be forwarded to New York City with the possibility of Madison receiving a $10,000 scholarship. Sixteen scholarships are awarded to Gold Key finalists.

Jen, a professional photographer who takes mostly senior and family photos, said she saw Madison’s talent from the time her daughter was a toddler.

“She’s always drawn things and different than the way I drew and the way (Aaron) did. I have to see it, then I produce it, but she can just visualize it,” said Jen, whose art is photography. “In the end, you want to do what you love. I see people choose a career path that will make them money, and they don’t think art ever will. They regret it and live with the regret of, ‘I don’t

feel like I’m doing what I was meant to do.’

Madison always said, ‘I don’t see myself doing anything different.’ Before she was 5, she was illustrating books and selling them on the corner.”

Worldwide Design Aaron Sherrick is a web designer by day, but he does woodworking and graphic design as hobbies. One of his designs still serves as the Nehemiah Vision Ministries’ logo. He used to serve as the ministry’s president before the organization expanded.

Aaron Sherrick “The organization exploded in a good designed the WYSI way after the earthquake (in Haiti), and Cross Country and Nehemiah Vision they needed people with experience to run Ministries logos. the organization, and I didn’t really have (Submitted photos) that,” he said. “Our family was growing, so I stepped out.”

Aaron also designed the Westfield Youth Sports, Inc. cross country logo and serves on a civilian communications group with the city.

Aaron is a web designer, but his hobby is woodworking. Over the past few years he has created everything from Adirondack chairs to items for local businesses.

“With Grand Junction (Brewing Company), I built eight tables for the new tasting room,” he said. “I’ve made four desks for a mortgage company for a neighbor.”

He also redid his own deck and created shelving units and wall desks for his sons’ room.

Son Caleb is into drawing. Conner creates YouTube videos. The youngest, Christian, is the class clown of the family.

“Caleb is our comedian,” Jen said. “That’s an art in itself.”

Madison plans on majoring in animation and eventually work for a company like Disney. She hasn’t decided which school she will attend.

Unsolicited advice is best unspoken

Gas tax hike will be helpful

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

It’s easy to say we should look for spending cuts in our current budget to fund our infrastructure needs, but the fact is that after 12 years of sound fiscal leadership, our state budget is about as lean as it can get.

We have 20 percent fewer state employees than we had when Gov. Mitch Daniels took office in 2005. And more than half of our current state budget goes to K-12 Education, so any significant increase in spending for infrastructure would likely result in less funding available for public education. We do have about $2 billion in reserves, but that equates to less than 60 days of state spending. That amount is intended to help us through an economic downturn, so spending it down significantly is not prudent. And it contributes to our AAA bond rating, which saves local governments hundreds of millions of dollars. The proposed tax increases in HB 1002 will cost the average Hoosier driver just $5.25 per month. We’re already known as the Crossroads of America, and I believe that the proposed improvements in our state infrastructure will be a great economic development incentive that eventually will increase state tax revenue. I believe the return on investment will more than offset the small contribution that we are looking for from Hoosier taxpayers. It’s a small sacrifice in comparison to the significant tax cuts that House Republicans have spearheaded over the last decade including, among others, significant cuts in the property tax, reducing the personal income tax, elimination of the inheritance tax, and a host of business tax cuts that save consumers money.

Will we need a super substitute?

Commentary by Terry Anker The Super Bowl is now behind us. Plays have been made, heroes elevated and shadows cast. The football history books have been adjusted. The wags have had their chance to comment — and comment some more. The T-shirts have been printed, distributed and sold. The commercials have been seen — and seen, and seen. Regardless of one’s favorite in the big game, few can argue that it did not deliver. It was exciting to the end. It zigged and zagged. It lived up to its hype. Even the halftime show met its lofty buildup!

But now that the nacho sauce has been cleaned from the davenport, and the beer cans recycled, many have already started planning for next year. A bigger TV? Perhaps.

Maybe we won’t invite the in-laws again.

Maybe we must. The food, the sofa, the guest list — all are being considered and reconsidered. Who will play almost doesn’t matter. Sure, it would be best if our own Indianapolis Colts took the field. Certainly,

they will give their all to take us there. But regardless, most of us will gather again with friends, food and a television to commune with the football world.

It is a tradition. We remember the good times, and bad, from years past. We relive our experiences together and bond in our common memories. Yet, football, like everything, has its detractors. Legitimate concerns are being raised about concussion risks and a variety of other matters. Some indications are that young kids are not taking up the sport, preferring instead soccer or other activities. Will it still captivate our attention and dominate the ratings in the years to come? Who knows? If not, will we find a super substitute for a super tradition?

As long as we are doing it together, whatever the game, we can learn the rules.

Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

A few days ago, my neighbor shared that someone — some awful, mean-spirited woman — criticized her parenting ... to her humor face! How dare you, ma’am! And so I am forced to remind us all of the seldom-discussed but no less critical rules of mom-to-mom communication. Please take note.

• Never express your true feelings about another parent’s choices directly to that person. Vent it out with your spouse or best gal pal, but keep that schtick locked down until you’re back at the house.

Unless she solicits advice, I promise she does not want a lecture on why “breast is best” or any of that other Nazi-lactation stuff while she’s barely hanging on thanks to Similac. What’s good for your family may not be good for hers.

• Before you speak, put yourself in her position. Remember the days of no sleep and endless diapers and 24/7 anxiety over going back to work vs. staying home? None of us can think rationally when we’re hopped up on caffeine and internet tales of “How Working Moms Produce Serial Killers.” Let Rule No. 1 be your mantra, and then ask if there’s anything you can do to help.

• Recognize that all families have different needs that must be met for them to function even a tad bit normally. For some, it’s ensuring only organic food hits the table, while for others, canned spaghetti makes a perfectly nice sit-down dinner. As long as the kids are eating something, the sun will rise tomorrow!

Bottom line? Homeschooling, helicopter parenting, Harvard-tracking in preschool ... these are decisions every mom has the right to make without your consent! Unless a choice directly harms you or your kid, zip it.

Peace out.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Indiana should stop discriminating against smokers Editor, I am writing to support smokers who will be shafted with the new proposed HB1578.

This bill proposes to raise the tax by $1.50 per pack. One example of a carton of cigarettes that currently costs $70 would raise the amount to $85 for smokers. This will create a financial burden for some smokers who cannot stop the habit.

The Indiana Health Industry promotes this tax as a health bill instead of a new added tax. They point out this will generate $400 million in new state revenue, stating it will be used to promote cessation of smoking and improve the state’s dismally poor health overall. In the beginning, this proposal was suggested to be used to support our roadway infrastructure. Smokers may claim they are the only

ones to use our roadways if they are paying this new, personal tax.

Indiana’s dismally poor health is due to poor eating and drinking habits. One example is the addiction to sugary drinks which are introduced at a very young age and are offered at restaurants, sporting events, grocery stores, personal parties and even schools.

If our state desperately needs revenue to fund any project, I am proposing taxing all sugary drinks which range from false juices to diet colas and all drinks made with sugar and even corn syrup. These drinks are unhealthy.

Indiana needs to stop discriminating against a class of people who smoke. They have been ostracized enough.

Mari Briggs, Westfield

Busby Eye Care’s donation will be used to purchase 10 carbon monoxide detectors for Westfield residents.

“Carbon monoxide poisoning is responsible for more than 400 deaths in the United States every year,” Harling stated in a press release. “CO detectors will alert residents of a Harling natural gas leak in their home before it becomes deadly. Our goal is to eliminate the barrier of residents not having a CO detector by offering them one free of cost. Busby Eye Care has been gracious enough to be the first to contribute to our program.”

Harling stated that he hopes for $25,000 in donations for the carbon monoxide detector outreach program.

Tips & Tricks for a “Stress-Free” Kitchen Renovation

By David Decker Let’s face it, the kitchen is the most used room in the house, so being forced to live without it during a renovation can be stressful and difficult. Following these 5 simple steps can help calm some of those renovation jitters.

Do a little “Spring Cleaning” A kitchen renovation is the perfect time to purge. While packing up everything in the existing cabinets, consider getting rid of some of the items that haven’t been used in a while. Be sure the countertops are clear of small appliances and remove anything from the room that may get in the way during the renovation.

Be Prepared Be sure all details like cabinet hardware, lighting and plumbing fixtures, and electrical locations to name a few, of the renovation have been finalized. All materials should be on site and ready for installation. Living in a disorderly house during a renovation is stressful enough, having to make last minute decisions can cause more frustration and delays.

Create a Temporary Kitchen If space allows, create a make-shift kitchen somewhere else in the home complete with

a miniature refrigerator, microwave, & other small appliances that are typically used on a daily basis. Put that Crock Pot to good use and consider buying disposal plates, bowls, cups, & utensils.

Communication is Key Stay in constant communication with the Project Manager & Designer throughout the entire project. Ask questions! Don’t be afraid to speak up if something doesn’t look right.

Mistakes happen, it’s better to catch them right away rather than having to fix them when the project is near completion.

See the Big Picture Okay, yes – even by following these steps the renovation may still be stressful. Things will go wrong. There may be unexpected mechanicals in a wall that is being removed, a cabinet door may be damaged, or an installer may get sick and be unable to work

that day. These mishaps may be inconvenient, but REMEMBER THE BIG PICTURE. Take a deep breath and know these problems will be resolved and in the end, you will get your dream kitchen.

At The Affordable Companies, we strive to make every renovation as smooth and convenient as possible. Our knowledgeable design and production team work with you every step of the way to ensure a worry-free renovation. To begin designing your new kitchen, visit our website at www.theaffordablecompanies.com or give us a call at 317.575.9540.

Jr. Civic at Civic Theatre to offer two new mini camps

Camp Invention connects children to science, inventors

Commentary by Civic Theatre’s education programs director, Holly Stults Haas

By Heather Collins editorial@youarecurrent.com

Jr. Civic at Civic Theatre is gearing up for another great summer. Musical Theatre Camp is a favorite, and with two brand new camps, Civic has something for any kid ages 3-14. We are excited to offer two new mini camps for our preschool-aged and kindergarten friends.

BROADWAY BABY CAMP Broadway Baby Camp gives our 3- and 4-year-olds a chance to shine and explore the world of musical theater and story telling.

Music and movement is also a part of this camp, allowing for them to move and groove while using their imagination. This camp runs Monday-Thursday June 19-22, and July 24-27.

SUPERHERO STORIES Superhero Stories also is a new mini camp for us. In this camp, each child will create their very own superhero and bring that character to life. Will capes be involved?

Most likely! We have no doubt that the 5- and 6-year-olds in this camp will create amazing adventures. Superhero Stories Camp runs Monday-Thursday June 19-22, and July 24-27.

Camp Invention, a program by the National Inventors Hall of Fame, will offer week-long sessions for kids beginning in June.

“Camp Invention connects children to inventors who changed the world, and enhances the scientific knowledge base of participants,” said Ashley Miller, media coordinator at the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame. “The program hooks children and gives them high-energy, hands-on, innovative fun, while presenting them with challenges that emphasize STEM, collaboration and entrepreneurship through innovation.”

This year, Camp Invention will host its newest program, Launch. The Launch program will feature four science-based modules. Module 1, Duct Tape Billionaire, helps students explore patents, launch a business and present their products to mock investors. Module 2, Mission Space Makers, takes children on a quest to locate and prepare a new plant for human habitations, while designing inventions to transform the atmosphere, terrain and ecosystem of an exo-

Our Musical Theatre Camps are unique in that they offer 60 students per week a full day of fun focused on singing, acting and dance with experienced professionals and then the week ends with a presentation on-stage in the Tarkington.”

Jungle Jams returns to Tarkington

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Lisa Colleen’s Jungle Jams will be making an encore summer camp performance at the Tarkington.

“It’s a lot of percussion. We call it moving and grooving,” Colleen said. “We do a lot of free movement, and there is dancing with scarves.

Then we bring in percussion instruments. Last year we introduced them to mandolin, the violin and the guitar. It depends who my helpers are and what instruments we bring in.”

For the second consecutive year, the Center for the Performing Arts will hold Jungle Jams as a summer camp June 12 through 16 at the Tarkington in Carmel. Colleen said the target age range is 4 to 6 years old for the camp, which will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m.

“Every day they learn about a life skill, and the animals each represent that life skill,” Colleen said.

So one day she might tell the kids a story about a zebra named Zeke.

“He represents that it’s cool to be unique,” Colleen said. “So all the zebras look the same but their stripes are all different, just like our thumbprints are all different. Every day I make sure they learn something either about teamwork or celebrating differences or celebrating

your uniqueness.”

Julia Shildmyer-Heighway, the center’s community engagement manager, said Jungle Jams was first a one-day class series. Impressed by the class, Shildmyer-Heighway invited Colleen to make it a camp.

“Each day there is a story and craft activity, and they make an instrument to take home,” Shildmyer-Heighway said.

Colleen is a former Carmel resident who now lives in Geist.

There is a maximum of 20 participants. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Summer U: Summer camps at University High School will host two three-week sessions. The first sessions will take place June 12-30, and the second session takes place July 10-28.

According to summer programs coordinator Maggie Becker, costs vary by class, but an average one-week camp costs $150.

Becker said UHS strives to be a community resource for more than only UHS students and welcomes students of all ages to use the programs.

“Most of the content is geared toward middle school students, but if you’re a fourth-grader who is especially passionate about Minecraft or Mandarin, we would welcome you in the program,” Becker said.

According to Becker, Summer U Becker covers everything from study skills to computer science and programming, and theatre to creative writing.

“What’s special about Summer U is that it combines the fun of a traditional day camp with the engaged learning approach and world-class teachers that University High School is known for. Campers who spend their summer with us get a true enrichment experience in a fun, laid-back high school environment,” Becker said.

New to Summer U this year, the camp will offer a film camp, a yoga camp taught by a certified yoga instructor and a Raspberry Pi class for coding campers. The camp also will have extended hours.

“Every day is different at Summer U, and that’s the beauty of it. One thing all of our

camps share is access to the full, 115-acre University High School campus and all of our technology, artwork and resources,” Becker said.

“Campers get to use computers, art supplies, cameras and even a 3-D printer. Last year, one group of campers used the 3-D printer to build a to-scale model of Fairbanks Hall.”

Zionsville teacher creates camp based on Minecraft

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com Video game lovers are invited to join Indy Stem Camps this summer to venture into the world of Minecraft.

Matt Mulholland, a veteran physics teacher at Zionsville Community High School, founded Indy Stem Camps three years ago. He created Indy Stem Camps to target first through eighth-graders and focus on STEM, science, technology, engineering and math.

“There’s a big push in educational circles to try to encourage kids to go into STEM-related fields,” Mulholland said.

He noticed his own kids were constantly playing Minecraft, which inspired him to learn more about the game and see if he could develop a curriculum around it.

“I realized at that point I was on to something. There was a way that I could help kids learn STEM in the context of a game they already love to play. It was a win-win situation,” he said.

Mulholland calls Minecraft “the ultimate sandbox game,” meaning the kids can produce anything without limitation. At the camp, kids

play in a secure server so they only have access to two worlds in Minecraft.

There are seven options for Minecraft camps, each with its own curriculum and goals. Mulholland also leads camps about bridge building, catapult building, robotics and more.

The camps are held for three hours each day over five days at Zionsville High School, University High School and Cathedral High School. Kids can attend the morning or afternoon session, or both. Fees vary depending on the type of camp and location.

Students are split into groups based on experience level, and the staff follows the U.S Sailing programs to tailor lessons to each group. The camp incorporates on-the-water instruction as well as games, rain or shine.

The camp is designed in weekly sessions.

Michelle Sarber, junior sailing coordinator, said they organized it this way so that after the first week, kids can decide if they are interested enough to come back for the entirety of camp. Sarber suggests completing all six weeks in order to truly feel comfortable sailing.

“Sailing is a lifelong skill,” Sarber said. “It’s one of those things that you may not be able to play soccer all your life or football, but you can sail.”

The staff also runs a weekly ranking program, which consists of a verbal and on-

Touchstone Energy Camp offers unique opportunity

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Touchstone Energy Camp has many aspects of a normal outdoor summer camp but with a twist.

“We select up to three students to go to the camp free of charge at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston,” said Mandy Saucerman, Boone REMC communications and marketing specialist.

The camp, which started in 2002, is designed for students entering the seventh grade in the fall of 2017. The students are selected from a group of applications. The students’ households must receive electricity from Boone REMC. Along with serving Boone County, Boone REMC serves parts of Clinton, Hamilton, Hendricks, and Montgomery counties. Boone RMC is a nonprofit electric utility cooperative.

“It’s the traditional summer camp type of experience,” Saucerman said. “They get to go horseback riding, zip-lining, swimming, rock

climbing, archery, canoeing, all that fun stuff.

Then mixed in with that to make it more of an energy camp, we’ve got activities for them to learn about electrical safety, and the importance of that as well as renewable energy sources, and how all that works, and why it’s important. They get the opportunity to test out what it’s like to be an electric lineman by climbing a pole and going up in a bucket truck and things like that.”

The overnight camp will be held June 7-10.

The campers spend three nights in the cabins and get picked up the morning of June 10.

“The counselors are employees of the electric cooperatives,” Saucerman said. “So they get to learn a little bit more about careers in the electric cooperative industry.”

About 135 campers from around the state that attend the camp.

Applications forms are available at bremc. com/community/youth-programs/. The application deadline is Feb. 24.

‘The Cross and the Light’ comes to Carmel

By Heather Collins editorial@youarecurrent.com The Detroit-based international and critically-acclaimed musical experience “The Cross and the Light” will be theater performed March 10-14 at the Carmel High School auditorium.

“The Cross and the Light” depicts the story of the Passion, Resurrection and Pentecost of Jesus Christ. According to critics, “The Cross and the Light” adheres to the Biblical version.

The play has been performed for more than 70,000 people across the world, including a sold out performance in Detroit with more than 22,000 in attendance.

Kelly Nieto, creator and executive producer of “The Cross and the Light” and former Miss Michigan winner and Miss America runner-up, said the writers were not afraid to tell the story of Jesus in contemporary terms, while adhering to the authentic story.

“We really speak the language of the 21st century, but we tell the greatest love story of all time in a really powerful, life-changing way,” Nieto said. “We like to say it’s a baptism of the imagination. It literally immerses people in a beautiful cinematic image.”

The performance features high-powered projectors that create 150-foot wide by 30foot high images to transform the walls of the

Carmel High School auditorium.

According to Nieto, “The Cross and the Light” is for all Christians, music-lovers and theater buffs. Critics have compared the show to “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Godspell.”

“It’s important in this post-Christian world that we start proclaiming (Jesus’s) story with passion and the best production value possible,” Nieto said.

Shalom World TV will be on-site to film the Carmel performance and will be broadcasting it to more than 100 countries.

Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m.

March 10, 11 and 12, and 2 p.m. March 11 and 12 at the Carmel High School auditorium.

Tickets begin at $20 and are available online at crossandlight.com/tickets. Seventy-five percent of proceeds from the ticket sales will benefit the Carmel Deanery, consisting of 12 local Catholic churches, including Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

The works in the exhibition were created between 1949, the year that saw the division of Germany into East and West, and 1968, a year marked by civil and political unrest across the continent, from student and worker uprisings in Paris to anti-Soviet protests in Prague. Ten paintings from the museum’s permanent collection representing artists from Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Hungary and Poland will be on view in the exhibition.

Where’s Amy had the honor of meeting Thomas Kinkade studio artist Zac Kinkade (artist Thomas Kinkade’s nephew) and Patrick Kinkade (art historian and Tom’s younger brother). Zionsville’s own CV Art and Frame Gallery hosted the two-day event, where clients were the first to see brand-new Zac Kinkade originals and have their Kinkade limited edition canvas personally remarked. I loved meeting Mike and Janice Baugh (Zionsville), who commissioned Zac to create a special piece for Mike’s collection of the Yankee Stadium. I also got a sneak peek of Patrick painting a special ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ oil painting for a client.

Yacht Harbor in Antalya, Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Antalya: World-class resort city Commentary by Don Knebel When Americans think of cities in Turkey, most probably don’t picture a cosmopolitan seaside resort featuring a harbor travel once used by the Romans. But Antalya, the fastest growing city in Turkey with a population of more than 1 million, meets that description.

Antalya was founded on the Mediterranean coast of what is now Turkey in about 150 B.C.

by King Attalos II of Pergamon. Attalos based his powerful navy in Antalya’s natural harbor.

When Antalya came under control of the Roman Empire in 133 B.C., Roman fleets continued to use the harbor. By the first century, Antalya was a thriving port city, attracting people from around the Mediterranean. In about 45 A.D., the Apostle Paul and his companion Barnabas visited Antalya during their first missionary journey. A visit to Antalya by Roman Emperor Hadrian in 130 A.D. was commemorated by a three-opening ceremonial gate that still leads to the ancient walled city center adjoining the harbor. For much of its history, Antalya was not closely connected

with the surrounding areas and developed as a unique multicultural city, attracting Jews, Christians and Muslims alike to its beautiful beaches and flourishing commercial district.

Since the 1970s, the Turkish government has developed Antalya into a world-class resort city, with luxurious hotels available at remarkably low rates stretching along its long beach front. Although the government has closed Antalya’s hotel casinos, alcohol is still available to foreign visitors, more than 12 million of whom come each year to what has become known as the Turkish Riviera. Visitors wanting more than sun and sand crowd the shops in Kaleiçi, the historic city center near what is now Antalya’s yacht harbor. So prevalent (some would use other words) are Russian tourists in Antalya that some hotels proudly advertise that they are not popular with the Russians.

2. Peanut butter – even organic brands need a touch of sugar or salt to keep them fresh 3. Pickles – the fermentation process requires salt or vinegar as a preservative 4. Jam and jelly – require benzoic acid to prevent mold and bacteria from growing.
