Geist Half Marathon targets kids By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Geist Half Marathon, set for May 19, is doing its part to encourage local youth to get exercise. “We really formed this 11 years ago to promote health and fitness,” cover story Geist Half Marathon Executive Director Aprill Shelburne said. “We’ve since promoted that to mental health and fitness across school systems and youth. Our entire idea is to introduce kids at a young age to walking, running, some sort of endurance event so they get that feeling of not only the endorphins going but achievement of going across the finish line.” At last year’s race, with options of a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon, 1,800 of the 4,800 participants, or approximately 38 percent, were kids under 18. Many were students from Hoosier Road Elementary and their families, thanks to Shannyn Miller’s involvement. Miller now works as a wellness teacher at Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate and Junior High School but previously taught at Hoosier Road. Miller became involved in Geist Marathon’s mission of youth health in 2008, when the fundraising race was founded. She organized a training program for Hoosier Road Elementary third- and fourth-graders before eventually expanding it to grades K-4. “I thought, ‘Oh, what a great opportunity to give kids a chance to do something in our own backyard,” Miller said. “A lot of 5Ks are not geared towards kids.” ADDING THE 10K

Miller said by getting kids running at an early age, they are more likely to continue the activity as they grow. A major reason the 10K race was added to the Geist Half Marathon was to provide a more challenging option for experienced young runners. “A big chunk of participants is kids, and the majority of those are in the 5K,” Shelburne said. “The reason why we introduced the 10K a few years ago was a lot of kids grew up running the 5K in elementary, but when they got to junior high, they were looking for longer distances.” In the past, the race has served as a fundraiser for Hamilton Southeastern and Lawrence Township education foundations. In past years, the two schools split the proceeds. This year, the group is taking a different approach. The foundations will still receive the funds, but they will be divided by district participation instead of an even split. Last year, each district foundation received $10,000. ST. VINCENT STEPS UP FOR WELLNESS St. Vincent is sponsoring the race and boasts a large contingent of employee participants. Last year, St. Vincent’s 400 associate participants accounted for 10 percent of registants for the series of Geist Half Marathon races. Lactation consultant Jennifer Hubbard began running when she was diagnosed with high blood pressure. She has since lost 140 pounds. “The hospital offered to pay for the race for any of the associates, which is huge,” she said. “I’ve run the Geist Half Marathon last year and did the 10K before that. Running has been a

The East 91st Street Church Mothers of Preschoolers group will fundraiser host its sixth annual Golf Scramble May 14 at the Hawthorns Country Club, 12255 Club Point Dr., Fishers. Proceeds directly benefit child care for the mothers during their meetings. “MOPS is a national organization for women with children from newborn to kindergarten aged,” parishioner Katie Clayton said. “They partner with a local church where we host everything. It helps women to be able to connect one-on-one with each other. We discuss issues relating to having young children.” “We have 100 moms that attend our meeting,” Clayton said. “The majority of the money raised goes straight to child care. It costs $19,000 for child care for nine months. We only ask the moms to pay $100. For each mom to be able to fully fund child care it’s $180, so we have to come up with $80 per person somewhere else.” The day will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a 12:15 p.m. tee time. “The golf course does an amazing job of providing the golfers where they need to be,”

Clayton said. “They will all be paired up in teams of four and will play best ball. They will have two different challenges. One will be the straightest shot and the other will be the closest to the pin.” An online auction starts May 11 and runs through May 14 at 9 p.m. Participants also can purchase raffle tickets and mulligans for the scramble. The cost to participate is $125 per player and includes greens fees, golf cart, practice facilities, range balls, catered lunch, refreshments and prizes. To register, visit e91mops. weebly.com.

Janus holds fundraising event By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Austin Phillips never stops. The 22-yearold Cicero resident works two jobs. He helps unload trucks philanthropy and rolls silverware at DeLullo’s Trattoria restaurant. He sweeps up after clients and does laundry at All About You Hair Salon. He enjoys kayaking and making crafts. His mother, Renee Voss, said some people didn’t imagine he could have a fulfilling life when he was diagnosed with autism. But she always believed in him. “I knew putting Austin somewhere was not an option for us,” she said. “When he was diagnosed with autism at (age) 2, we were told to put him away somewhere and focus on his older sisters.” When the family moved from South Bend to Cicero, she said Janus Developmental Services, a countywide nonprofit based in Noblesville, was a godsend. “When we moved here, we knew no one,” Voss said. “We did several trips to Janus to see if it would be the next step for him, and it’s been amazing. Every day he wakes up with a purpose, and isn’t that what everyone wants?”

Phillips’ story was just one on display at the annual fundraising breakfast for Janus, held April 20 at the 502 Event Center in Carmel. The organization helps people with disabilities find employment and live fulfilling lives. Janus also runs an affordable, on-demand public transit system for Hamilton County. Chris Sorenson, executive director for Janus, said 2017 was a great year for the organization. “A number of people we serve have had employment there, and we’ve also had a Best Buddies event and we hope to continue that partnership,” she said.

Paula’s Diner was established in what formerly was an employee break room at Westminster Village North’s campus in Lawrence. The space is named after longtime employee Paula Carpenter, who has worked in the facility’s culinary services for nearly 45 years. (Photos by Sadie Hunter)

surprise of a lifetime Westminster Village dedicates diner to employee By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Paula Carpenter recently received the surprise of a lifetime. Cover story The 65-year-old has been an employee of Westminster Village North for 45 years this September, and the assisted-living facility recognized her commitment in a touching way. To commemorate Carpenter’s service, Westminster Village North dedicated the employee breakroom to her, christening it “Paula’s Diner.” Carpenter began her career with Westminster Village North while she was in high school. A special needs student at Lawrence Central, she washed dishes through the school’s work-study program. Through the years, Carpenter has advanced through many different job titles, including a stint in the dietary department to where she is now, serving breakfast to residents and serving employees in their breakroom. “She considers all these people her family. All these women and men that work in here, all the employees, they just watch after her,” said Linda Grube, Carpenter’s older sister. “One said if she notices something is not right with Paula,

she goes and checks on her to make sure everything is OK. They just take care of her. She just loves it here.” Grube said her sister doesn’t want to retire until she’s 70. Carpenter takes a public bus every day from her apartment on North Keystone to Westminster Village North, 11050 Presbyterian Dr., just south of Geist, and back home. Grube said her sister connects with the residents and the employees through her job at Westminster Village North. “She knows what the different residents like to eat, what cereal they like,” Grube said. “She knows who wants three strips of bacon, and they love her. She’s very caring to older people. That’s why she’s just so wonderful in this position.” Carpenter said she was very surprised when she saw what the organization and what her sister had planned for her. Family members from Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and Michigan attended the ceremony. Relatives and employees lined the hall to surprise her when she turned the corner to the breakroom. Carpenter said what she’s enjoyed most about her time working with Westminster Village North is her growth through each position. “I like it and I’ve done everything,” she said. “I have done salads, I’ve been in the dish room, I’ve done cooking. Everybody is nice and helps you.”

Carpenter is Westminster Village North’s longest-tenured employee. Director of Culinary Services Dan Armantrout said the company wanted to recognize her efforts. “We wanted to honor her 45 years of service, and somebody, another coworker, came up with the idea a year or so ago about renaming the breakroom ‘Paula’s Diner,’” Armantrout said. “I immediately liked the idea and went to my boss, and she liked the idea.” Armantrout said the plan took longer than originally thought, but last month it was completed when Westminster Village North established a canopy and a sign at the entrance of the breakroom.

Paula Carpenter and Dan Armantrout, Westminster Village North’s director of culinary services, pause outside of Paula’s Diner.

paula carpenter’s assets to westminster village north Director of Culinary Services Dan Armantrout describes Paula Carpenter as a good employee, highlighting her dependability as one of her strongest assets. “She is very familiar with the residents and knows their likes and dislikes, same with the employees that eat in here,” Armantrout said. “She knows what most like and what they’re going to order before they order it.”

An old employee break room was refurbished into a dining area for residents.

Surviving my annual headache

Evening in Paris

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker It was an Evening in Paris. This time the City of Lights dutifully was replicated in the Culinary Arts Center on Ivy Tech’s bustling Indianapolis Campus. Replete with the Eifel Tower, tasty treats, comfy cafes and a noted cabaret singer (thanks to local standout talent Gail Payne), the festive nature of the event belied the intentionality of the cause underlying it. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the gala funds study-abroad opportunities for culinary students to both the storied French capital and to its vaunted surrounding farms, wineries and producers. Home to and originators of some of the finest and best-produced food in the accumulation of western culture, the student travelers are steeped in the techniques and trades that bring life to the notable comforting provincial and elegant urban menus. Still, it may be the more existential effects of the trip that leave the longest impression. Many of the explorers will have never before possessed a passport, flown on an airplane, or even left the safe confines of central Indiana. While in Provence, sitting around the kitchen table listening to a farmer extol the virtues of his fromage, do those assembled learn as much about themselves, and the world in which they live, as they do about the nuanced distinction between the diets of the cows to produce the raw milk for the product? Can it be that Ivy Tech Community College, and its many supporters, are opening eyes at the very same time they are pleasing palates? If we find that we have access to a new world, food or otherwise, don’t we take a bit more ownership in it? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

READER ’ S V I EW Janus thanks Current Editor, I wanted to let you know I have had so many positive comments about our fundraising breakfast held (April 20). This breakfast had the most guests we have ever had at any fundraising event we’ve held! I had so many people call to register because they either saw the ads or read the articles about the breakfast in Current. I want to take a moment to let you know how much your support of Janus

is appreciated. Your sponsorship of the breakfast is one of the reasons for our success and enabled Janus to apply all of the donations made the day of the event to the services and programs we are able to offer our clients. I look forward to a continued relationship with you in the future. Kindest regards, Debbie Laird, senior vice president of development at Janus Developmental Services

I occasionally experience migraine headaches, maybe one every few years. My last was actually in 2014. Since I’m not a regular sufferer, they tend to sneak up humor on me before I realize what’s happening, and usually at inopportune moments. Here’s what went down recently. I’d just finished a triathlon in Muncie and was trying to figure out why I wasn’t enjoying the typical post-race euphoria. I was tired, sure, but I had no desire for a Big Mac (my usual self-congratulatory meal), nor was I excited to call Doo with the details (lost swimsuit, broken sunglasses, knocking over two bike racks). As I stood in line for a pizza slice (it was free!), I noticed my vison going wonky. I could still see, but there was a definite blind spot in my right eye. It cleared after maybe 10 minutes, and I headed for my car. As soon as I hit I-69, a dull headache began along with a bit of nausea. By the time I got to the Anderson exit, I was desperately pressing a cold water bottle to my head while dry-heaving into a Meijer grocery bag. I pulled off the highway, parked at the Steak ‘n Shake and crawled into the back seat to wait out the pain. I neither turned off the car nor locked the doors, but luckily, no one seemed to notice or care that a seemingly unoccupied minivan sat running for an hour. Once home, I spent the rest of the day on the couch, “recovering.” Not from the race, mind you, but from the migraine. At least I should be good for another few years! Peace out.

Then we can DVR ‘Billions,’ unless we can get it ‘On Demand’ Monday.” “OK, Mary Ellen, why can’t we record ‘Homeland’ later, then you can watch ‘Mystery Theater’ and I can watch the baseball game? Wait, I can’t miss ‘Deception.’ Can I watch both of them live?” “You can’t watch ‘Deception’ live because it’s HDTV, which means we could only record one other show. I could watch sports with you, but you know there’s no chance of that happening.” With the DVR, we have the option to zip past ads by using the fast-forward option. My wife is a two-arrow person, mean-

ing she only presses the forward button twice. She wants to trudge slowly along so she doesn’t pass the desired starting spot immediately after the commercials. I’m a five-time arrow pusher. It goes forward so fast that I have to backtrack, because I always end up at the closing credits even though I’ve only watched 10 minutes of the show. Then I rewind with five pushes to find where I left off, and all of a sudden, I’m looking at the opening credits … again. The other night Mary Ellen shoved me off the couch because I was driving her crazy with the FF button. This is how push comes to shove. At some point when you program too many shows at the same time, a prompt comes up that says: C O N F L I C T. Yes, indeed there is a conflict, but Mary Ellen and I always try to work it out, because we don’t want to go to bed mad. Assuming we ever get to bed. It’s difficult … with so many shows to watch.

Handheld scanners to debut in Fishers stores

The Scan, Bag and Go scanners recently debuted at a Kroger in Noblesville. (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com In an effort to continue to maximize time for shoppers, Kroger is bringing the Scan, Bag and Go concept to Indiana. The Kroger at 14800 Hazel Dell Crossing near Noblesville and technology Carmel border is the first of 12 stores in Indiana to use the device. The system officially debuted April 19. Soon, it likely will be introduced at the Fishers stores at 9799 E. 116th St. and 116th St. and Allisonville Road. Another one will launch shortly thereafter at 172 Logan St. in Noblesville. The new system allows customers to use a wireless handheld scanner or the Scan, Bag, Go app on their smartphones. One may pay on a mobile phone with the app. Clear bags and reusable bags are available. “You can scan your Kroger Plus card and from there you can take it through the store and purchase any items you want,” Kroger/Central Division media

spokesman Eric Halvorson said. “You ultimately end up at the self-checkout to pay for it.” When a shopper gets to the checkout line, he or she points the scanner up and it shows everything already scanned. “Everything is in the bag already so all you have to do is swipe your credit card,” Halvorson said. “The only thing that might be a hitch is if you buy alcohol, because that will have to be verified by a Kroger associate.” Shoppers can monitor prices and scan coupons as they shop. Cincinnati Kroger stores have used the system for seven years, division front end manager Dorathy Vise said. “They’ve been working all the bugs out of it,” Vise said. “We’re going to roll out 500 stores across the country, and next year another 500 stores.” Halvorson said no one will lose a job because of the technology.

dispatches Budgeting tips – When trying to set up a budget, it’s easy enough to track your expenses. But, do you know how much you should be spending on things like housing, groceries, etc? One simple rule of thumb is the 50/30/20 method. Fifty percent of your income goes toward fixed expenses like mortgage, car payment or insurance. Twenty percent goes toward financial goals like paying off loans. The rest (30 percent) is flexible for groceries, clothing, etc. Source: LifeHacker.com

Marshall tackles Mayzie role in FHS ‘Seussical’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers High School senior Ally Marshall knew she was ready for her spotlight role. Marshall plays Mayzie LaBird in the school’s production of “Seconcert ussical,” which is set for 7 p.m. May 10, 11 and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. May 12 at the high school auditorium. The musical features a variety of characters from Dr. Seuss books. “This is a really big role,” Marshall said. “I was Tatina in ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ but this is the first time I’ve been the lead in the musical. I’ve been basically preparing all year.” Marshall had wanted the role since the school announced it was doing the musical last fall. “Mayzie is very big, everything about her is bigger than everyone else,” Marshall said. “She is the center of attention, and everyone wants to be her. It’s that confidence she had really drove me to want to be like her and my time in the spotlight, basically.” Marshall said the biggest challenge is the singing. “I’m not a natural, gifted singer, so I had to work with a lot of vocalists to get the basics because she does some hard vocals,” Marshall said. Marshall was mainly in the chorus in the other musicals she has been in at FHS. “Last year, I got a supporting lead but it didn’t have a lot of music in it,” said Marshall, who plans to major in theater at Indiana University. Marshall said the production should appeal to Dr. Seuss fans because it features characters from many of his books. Senior Kara Porzuczek is playing the Cat in the Hat, who also serves as a narrator. She is in her 12th production with FHS. “It’s nothing like I’ve Porzuczek ever done before because I’m playing all these different characters but all within one character,” Porzuczek said. “The Cat in the Hat is the narrator of the stories. He’s like a puppeteer making

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville lower-level update Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background Info: This early 2000s home in the Long Beach Estates neighborhood of Zionsville was a great space for the homeowners and their family to grow, but it lacked their own personal touches. So, they wanted updates that reflected their unique taste.

Before problems The lower level was dated and had minimal natural light. The floorplan of the kitchen was small and lacked storage solutions. Certain spaces like the kitchen table and built-in desk were underutilized. The lower level lacked a cohesive design.

After

The overall goal was to create a space that functioned better for the homeowner while giving it a modern look that reflected the homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal taste. 1. The largest transformation came from extending the footprint of the island from 4 feet to 10 feet, adding more space for storage and replacing the kitchen table with island seating. This helped make the space appear larger and gave the homeowner ample countertop space! 2. New contrasting cabinetry and countertops were added to the kitchen and dry bar, providing a more modern look and adding plenty of unique storage solutions. 3. A large barn door replaced the pantry door, which freed up space and added a unique design element to the space. 4. Shiplap and encaustic cement tile details were added in the kitchen, dry bar and living room, tying the design together. Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling.
