Element Three president shares employee brand advice By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tiffany Sauder definitely saw the value in making her debut as a OneCHAMBER Zone speaker. Although the Element Three CEO and president offered advice, she knows it was good exposure as well. “It’s a great opportunity to converse with 300 different business people in the area,” she said. Sauder, whose full-service marketing agency is based in Indianapolis, addressed “The Secret to Crushing Your Employee Brand” at the OneZone luncheon Aug. 14 at the Forum Conference Center in Fishers. Instead of simply emphasizing stock options and health benefits, the Zionsville resident said companies should emphasize their vision. “Be honest with yourself about who you are and who you aren’t,” Sauder said. “When we get a call, it’s usually something like this, ‘I was at a trade show and saw this, my competitor did this thing and I really liked it and would like you to do that for me, too.’ That is like wearing someone else’s clothes to prom. Why don’t you come up with your own idea? What is it about me that people like? It cannot be exactly what your competitor is doing.” Sauder said the company has to be honest with itself about its problems as well. “I think we see ourselves in this aspirational way, and the best way to understand how people really see your company is to go ask your customers, your vendors and your employees,” she said. Sauder said she had to learn that when starting Element Three at age 25 in 2005. “I thought I had to be the most buttonedup professional on the planet,” she said. “I had to really look the part. I had to say all the right words. That’s not who I am.” Sauder said another guideline is the brand cannot surpass the vision of its leader. “Apple was not a surprise to Steve Jobs.

He saw it the whole time,” Sauder said. “Visionaries are not surprised. We have to take ownership of the fact if we don’t see it, it will never become. Have the courage, have the audacity and have the gumption to really create a vision for what you can become.” Sauder said companies lose employees’ hearts when leaders don’t create a vision. Sauder said the company has to look at how it manages talent selection, recruitment, development and retention “The mistake I see companies make is being bad on all these things to be excellent at all of them in just one quarter,” Sauder said. “It’s, ‘We’re going to do all these things in a quarter.’ You won’t. Think about if you are getting people to the interview stage, but you are not winning.” Sauder said turnover can be frequent when employees don’t have a career understanding. “Customers will never love a company unless their employees love it first,” Sauder said. Element Three made Inc. magazine’s list of the 5,000 fastest-growing companies for the sixth consecutive year in 2019. “If we are going to say we know how to help growing companies, we have to know how to do that ourselves,” said Sauder, who has approximately 60 people on staff.

stop bleeding, mental health, dental health and mail fraud, among other topics. “Most people don’t anticipate some of the dangers of everyday living because that’s not where their focus is. They’re focused on family life,” Mehling said. “This is just a great opportunity for us to partner up with St. Vincent Hospital and show some of the dangers that exist in everyday life that we just don’t consider. We don’t want to think about it most of the time, but in today’s world we really need to. After this event, you’re going to walk away very educated on how to approach life safely.” Local restaurants will offer free food samples. American Sign Language interpreters will be available.

On Aug. 9, Mike and Debbie Laird conducted the 16th annual Jake Laird Memorial Golf Tourney. The fundraiser enables the Lairds to provide financial assistance to public safety officers for equipment, support for various police and fire programs and financial assistance for police officers and firefighters injured in the line of duty.

Students benefit from David Weekley homes school supplies drive Indianapolis, IN (August 22, 2019): David Weekley Homes, the nation’s largest privately-held builder, hosted its fifth annual, companywide School Supplies Drive in 18 cities across the country. In Indianapolis, school supplies were collected for Teachers’ Treasures, which obtains and distributes school supplies to teachers in Marion County and surrounding school districts to provide to students in need. In addition to the supplies collected from Weekley Team Members, Homeowners and Real Estate Partners, the local community also donated items to the drive. Through these combined efforts, the Teachers’ Treasures school supply drive provided more than 38,400 students from 96 schools with the supplies needed for the school year. “It was fun to connect with a real estate agency in downtown Indianapolis where the broker was a former teacher and was thrilled to participate,” said Angie Huser, lead internet advisor with David Weekley

David Weekley Team Members donated school supplies to the nonprofit organization Teachers’ Treasures.

Homes. “She would often shop at Teachers’ Treasures and understood the impact it has for both teachers and students.” The School Supplies Drive is a volunteer and philanthropic initiative of the company’s CARE program, which joins team members with homeowners, homebuyers, community partners and local nonprofit organizations to live out its purpose of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives in each of the communities in which it builds.

Fishers resident sentenced to prison for ID theft news@currentinfishers.com On Aug. 14, U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler announced the conviction and sentencing of Arielle Wilkerson, Fishers. Wilkerson, 25, was sentenced to 57 months in CRIME federal prison after admitting to charges that she used the identities of victims throughout the U.S. to obtain new and take-over current credit cards and other financial instruments for her own personal benefit, such as purchasing gift cards, airline tickets and other items. “This sentence sends a strong message to those out there who steal victims’ identities and profit from the use of those identities, that this behavior is illegal and those who do so will face real consequences,” Minkler stated. “Protecting the public from the illegal use of personal information to commit fraud is a priority of this office.” Wilkerson used her scheme from 2012 through March 16, 2018. At the sentencing hearing, the court called Wilkerson a “consumer’s worst nightmare.”

U.S. Postal Inspection Service and members of the Indiana Financial Fraud and Identity Theft Task Force investigated the case. In total, due to Wilkerson’s schemes, banks suffered losses totaling at least $115,360.38 and at least another $41,500.00 in attempted loss. Upon completing her sentence, Wilkerson will serve four years of supervised release.

Late Fishers resident honored - Long time Fishers resident Dale Willman will be honored with a U.S. Navy Military service at 11 a.m. Aug. 31 at Vernon Cemetery in Vernon, Ind.

ESSAY

LETTER

Noticing failure

Let’s continue to support Reynolds

Commentary by Terry Anker The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles is an award winner. It routinely touts itself as an outstanding example of what a citizen-facing government agency can be. Our fine state has long worked to improve its services and attitude in dealing with we Hoosiers. Still, there are no guarantees. In four out of five exchanges, we have come to expect good, quick interactions in a clean and friendly environment. So, what of the dreaded fifth? What is the right number for failure? On a recent such “fifth.” the BMV staff was a bit muddled about how to properly transact a rather unusual swap of titles and plates between related family members. Knowing of the potential for confusion, the local branch was contacted and, separately, so was the main office downtown. Slightly different but related answers gave hope that a solution would be easily found. The ticket number, 44, was called to the desk at around 9:15 a.m. While there were two customers, only one chair was provided. The others were “zip-tied” together. Theft must be a problem. Alas, the transaction quickly flummoxed the pleasant woman seated behind the desk. Her supervisor had little more knowledge. “Try this” he said. If it didn’t work, they’d “try” something else. Soon, an hour passed. Still, while all the employees were comfortably seated, the customer stood. Number 78 was called, then No. 114, then 143. With the closing of another hour, the transaction was finally complete. Under tremendous duress, the branch assistant manager became involved, bringing his own chair to the desk, and was able to find a solution, albeit a clumsy one. Did they even see the failure? Do we notice our own – and if so, do we act like it matters? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Ready or not ... I’m not! Commentary by Danielle Wilson Tomorrow is the big day, people. I’m headed to the West Coast to drop off one of my twinkies at college. Yikes! What if I can’t do it, without, you know, crying? HUMOR The horror! I mean, I should be good, right? It’s not like I haven’t been through this before. When we drove Older Brother down to IU for the first time, I did an amazing job of suppressing my emotions. Now, it helped that he’d chosen a school less than 90 minutes away by minivan and with half of his graduating class in attendance. But still, I handled the adios like a champ. Except for a small meltdown at a Chick-fil-A earlier that summer, I shed no tears whatsoever. “Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out, kiddo!” But this feels radically different. In less than 48 hours, I’ll be single-parenting in a

strange city, 2,300 miles from here, saying goodbye to a son whom I once called my boiled chicken baby (his twin sister stole most of the food, so he was born rather puny. I can easily recall rocking him in those first few weeks and thinking, “I shouldn’t be able to see his bones. Where’s the beef?”). And then I’m expected to board a plane, fly home and ignore the fact that it will be Christmas before I see him again? What the fudge, friends? I’m not sure I can do that with dry eyes and a happy face. Seriously, how am I supposed to let this one go? Tomorrow’s the big day, and he is definitely ready. I’m just worried that I’m not. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.” — Søren Kierkegaard

Editor, Recently, I renewed my Conner Prairie membership and was delighted to learn that Reynolds Farm Equipment is loaning their holiday light display to Conner Prairie. Since moving to Carmel in 1999, heading over to the Fishers Reynolds location during the holiday season has been a highlight. Once our children arrived it became a yearly pilgrimage and a new Christmas tradition for our family. Last week while making a purchase at the Fishers Reynolds store, the rumor I heard earlier at Conner Prairie was confirmed by my salesman. He also informed me of the immense amount of work it takes to assemble, repair and maintain this masterpiece, not even mentioning the cost to illuminate this Christmas miracle that shines like a beacon on Highway 37. Many thanks go to the Reynolds family for providing this Christmas tradition to our community free of cost for so many years. What an amazing gesture of generosity that is so indicative of the farming community that gives to help neighbors, not counting the cost, but sacrificially giving to meet the needs of others. I hope the community will now come alongside Conner Prairie and Reynolds Farm Equipment to support this new endeavor. Susan Chapman Porter, Carmel

Remove unused railroad tracks

Editor’s note: This letter is in response to a letter by Tom Williams, which was published in the Aug. 13 edition.

Editor, We purchased a home in Fishers’ Sunblest neighborhood in July 1987. Great town, growing slowly, then fast, faster and faster; wonderful neighbors, friends, jobs, schools. Now a city with a mayor, support team, beautiful new buildings, businesses; you add all the rest of the positives. Railroad tracks, big red stop signs, countless street crossings, rough tracks, unused, useless, no train. Some drivers ignore stop signs. Some pretend to stop, some stop for a moment, some really

stop. Most vehicles have four wheels, tires and brakes. A few have less than four. Some have many more. All day long, all night, tracks, stop signs, street crossings without end. After three decades, we are now old, very old with one vehicle, one driver. A typical week for us – 15 crossings, big deal? No, but hundreds, thousands of others add to millions, billions, over a year. You do the math! Something positive? Get rid of those tracks, stop signs. Entertain every driver. History can be written. We can make new history. Wayne E. Caldwell, Fishers

“Something positive? Get rid of those tracks, stop signs. Entertain every driver. History can be written. We can make new history.”

Thank you, Current Editor, I want to tell you how delightful it has been for me to work with (Current in Fishers editor) Anna Skinner. Anna and I first connected when I was trying to locate a publication in the Fishers area that would print my father’s obituary. My father, Thomas Dale Willman, lived in Fishers for 52 years. He bought the property on Eller Road near 116th Street when there was nothing but farmland around him and a few buildings near the railroad tracks of Fishers. My father was over 100 years of age when he passed and lived at the Eller address except for the last two months. Anna quickly responded to my request

and even made the suggestion of including a picture. After the initial obituary, Anna made sure that an additional item was included in another edition of Current in Fishers to inform readers when and where the Naval military service would occur. Since I live in Texas, to have an individual answer my requests and take care of things as quickly as “space” in the publication would allow was wonderful! You are fortunate to have an employee who is responsive as well as professional on your staff. Linda Willman Field Kerrville, Texas

Florida Rd. should be wider

Editor, The City of Fishers and Hamilton County need to seriously consider widening Florida Road from Southeastern Parkway to 113th Street. Florida road is very narrow and dangerous, especially with the amount of car traffic and large truck traffic.

During the school year, Florida Road is heavily used by high school students and buses. The widening of Florida Road needs immediate attention before there is an unnecessary tragic loss of life due to an accident. John Lucas, Fishers

Avoiding a bloodbath

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I just returned from a trip to San Francisco with our friends the Murphys. The last time we were HUMOR in California was 40 years ago on our honeymoon, but we weren’t going to let one bad experience prevent us from giving the Golden State another try. On this vacation, we stayed at a very old hotel, which you would think would be a good choice for four kinda old people. We got a senior discount on the room and senior dinner specials. Why, then, I wondered, did we end up with a bathtub that would be a challenge for a 20-year-old Olympic pole vaulter? The tub was probably in that bathroom since the early 1900s, a time in our history when the average lifespan was 47 years, unless someone never bathed or showered and then could maybe make it to 60 without breaking his neck. This claw-foot tub’s sides were 3 feet high, with no railings or rubber bathmats to reduce the chance of slipping when entering or exiting the combination tub/shower. This freaked out my wife, who said, “You can’t step into something that high above your knees. Not at your age.” “That’s what you said the last time I put on a pair of shorts.” “Dick, promise me you will not get into that bathtub unless I am standing here holding you and watching your every move.” “You know, Mary Ellen, 40 years ago that would have been a really seductive thing to say. Now, it just sounds kind of creepy.” “As for me, Dick, I can’t go another day without washing my hair.” “Well, it’s either dirty hair or a broken neck.” Thankfully, we both managed to bathe and shampoo safely before we packed for our return home. On our flight, we assessed our vacation. “Let’s see,” Mary Ellen said. “We saw Alcatraz and enjoyed hiking Yosemite, we risked life and limb in the bathroom.” “Tell you what, Mary Ellen, let’s just call it a wash.”

DISPATCHES High on pot stocks - Stocks of cannabis companies have soared over the past several months, but investors need to tread cautiously even though the $10 billion US market for marijuana could reach $50 billion in five years. Already, 33 states and Washington, DC, allow the production, sale and use of medical marijuana. Ten states plus Washington, DC, allow recreational use. But under federal law, marijuana is regarded as an illegal controlled substance, which creates stumbling blocks for U.S. cannabis companies, and many health experts caution that not enough is known to declare marijuana “risk-free.” Banks and credit card companies are reluctant to do business with these companies.

The study analyzed customers’ food choices during periods of loud, upbeat music and during periods

of quiet music. When the music was quiet, customers made healthier menu choices than when the music was loud. The takeaway is that you should focus on the healthy choices regardless of the noise level.

Brown, Opera in the Park return to Garfield Park By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Opera in the Park is back and so is Angela Brown. Brown appeared at the CONCERT last Opera in the Park concert in 1997. The Indianapolis Opera will present the revised Opera in the Park performance at 6 p.m. Sept. 8 at Garfield Park’s MacAllister Amphitheater in Indianapolis. Brown and Daniel Narducci are guest soloists and it will be conducted by the Opera’s new artistic advisor, Alfred Savia. It will be presented in concert format with full orchestra and lively narration. Opera in the Park is an official production of the nonprofit Friends of Garfield Park in partnership with the Indianapolis Parks Dept. Admission is free. “This is going to be a relaxed setting where the kids can come,” Brown said. “You can bring food and your family. You can have a light, enjoyable evening with opera. It’s not such a stuffy experience but one that everyone can enjoy and feel like they can be part of.” Brown, a soprano from Indianapolis, will perform three numbers, “Vissi d’arte” from “Tosca” by Giacomo Puccini with Narducci, “Summertime” from “Porgy and Bess” by George Gershwin and “Brindisi” (“Libiamo, ne’ liter calici”) from “La Traviata” by Giuseppe Verdi. Brown primarily performs across the U.S. and Europe. “Lately, I’ve done more solo work with symphony orchestras and my show ‘Opera … From a Sistah’s Point of View,’” Brown said. “That’s my show I take around to schools and performing arts organizations. It demystifies opera. I do that through my foundation, Morning Brown.” Singing came naturally to Brown. “I always say opera chose me, I didn’t choose it,” she said. “Once I went to school and learned to sing opera, I took to the technique like a duck to water. It was something that did fit my vocal ability. I had done a lot of musical theater in Indianapolis, mostly with the Civic Theatre. (Opera) encompasses everything I do from the acting, the singing, the movement.

Boz Scaggs to perform Nov. 23 at Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com Singer-songwriter Boz Scaggs and his “Out of the Blues Tour” will make a Nov. 23 stop at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Long considered one of the great “blueeyed soul” vocalists, Scaggs was an early member of the Steve Miller Band before launching a solo career and making his commercial breakthrough with the 1976 album “Silk Degrees.” The multi-platinum release rode the charts for 115 weeks and spawned three Top 40 singles: “It’s Over,” “Lido Shuffle” and the Grammy-winning “Lowdown.” Scaggs’ performance is set for 8 p.m. Nov. 23 at the Palladium, 1 Center Green, Carmel. Tickets starting at $40 are on sale at TheCenterPresents.org and through the Box Office at 317-843-3800 or toll-free at 877909-ARTS (2787). The Katz, Sapper & Miller Pop/Rock Series is part of the 2019-20 Center Presents Season sponsored by Allied Solutions.

“I consider myself pretty funny sometimes, and then the drama of it all. Opera fits all those.” Brown graduated from Crispus Attucks High School, which was then a medical magnet school “I thought I wanted to go into the medical field, but I ended up going toward the arts,” she said. Brown attended Oakwood University in Huntsville, Ala., and then studied at Indiana University Brown teaches master classes and owns a private voice studio at the Basile Opera Center, 4011 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis. “I’m going to be making my debut with Seattle Opera and New Orleans Opera doing “Charlie Parker’s Yardbird,” and the role I play is the mother, so I’m excited about that,” she said. The program will include excerpts from

the Indianapolis Opera’s 2019-20 productions of “Elixir of Love” and “Don Giovanni,” as well as other familiar chorus tunes and solos. “Elixir of Love” will be presented Nov. 15 to 17 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” is set for March 20 to 22, 2020 at The Toby Theater at Newfields in Indianapolis. The third performance will be “Brundibar” and “Vedem” at The Toby April 24 to 26, 2020. The park concert will conclude with a champagne toast (sparkling cider) celebrating the opening of the 45th anniversary season. Beginning at 5 p.m., food from Prime 47 Indy’s Steakhouse will be available for purchase, or patrons can bring a picnic dinner. For more on Brown, visit angelambrown. com.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic Woodstock music festival. Residents of Britton Falls, an MUSIC active retirement community in Fishers, formed the Britton Falls All Star Band. The eight musicians performed a Woodstock tribute concert Aug. 16 at Britton Falls. The band consists of Craig Beedy, Chris Pickell, Jim Landfald, Dick Shuler, Brian Laskey, Bonnie Loos, Janese Truver and Steve Rohrer. “We played around 20 songs that were all from the original Woodstock concert,” band member Janese Truver said. “They were all iconic songs that people recognized.” Attendees were encouraged to dress in era-appropriate attire. “We had people dressed in tie-dye and as hippies,” Truver said. “We had perfect weather, and everyone had such a great time dancing and singing. Summer of ‘69 was rockin’.” More than 500 people attended the tribute. Guests were treated to a rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s classic performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The band formed in October, 2018 and has been rehearsing ever since. Rorher has an extensive musical background. “He’s played with rock bands most of his life and was a member of the house band on Radio Station 104.5 GOLD All Oldies All the Time,” Truver said. “They played opening (shows) for The Spinners, Neil Sedaka and other national acts appearing in Indy. He now owns Reno’s Music in Fishers.” The band plans to perform more concerts in the future. “The concert was just terrific,” Truver said. “The comments and compliments have been nonstop. We are going to stay together and already plan to do another concert in 2020.”

Concerts move to Lions Park By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For 28 years, Zionsville has presented a weekly summer concert series at Lincoln Park. MUSIC That reign has ended as the Zionsville Cultural District recently announced the series will move to Lions Park in the summer of 2020. However, the ZCD plans to present periodic concerts at Lincoln Park. ZCD assumed operation of the Lincoln Park Concert Series six years ago from the Chamber of Commerce. “We found the acoustics were not that good and the gazebo was too small,” Zionsville Cultural District President Carla Howie said. Howie said the ZCD also wanted more space for its sponsors and was concerned about lack of restroom facilities. “If we wanted to do something larger, Lincoln Park wasn’t able to accommodate that,” Howie said. “Lions Park seemed welcoming. They have a bigger gazebo and a concession stand they would offer during the season. We’re looking to make the se-

ries more robust.” Lions Park has more restrooms and a playground. “We have a lot of space for the crowd like Conner Prairie,” Howie said. The Zionsville Cultural District decided to produce a 266-square-foot mural of Abraham Lincoln on a building near Lincoln Park. “We thought, what a wonderful way to honor Lincoln Park by a mural of Abraham Lincoln,” Howie said. “What we’re hoping to do is program expansion and do a smaller concert, maybe not every week but several times during the summer.” Howie said that would be in addition to the concert series at Lions Park.

of the cultural board during the first of her two terms as mayor. Honored to be the first recipient, Rowland is even more delighted that the award recognizes Campbell’s legacy for tirelessly enhancing local arts. “I was very pleased. It was a very thoughtful award,” Rowland said. “It was very special (to receive), especially at the Shakespeare event.”

8/9/19 9:46 AM

Former Noblesville Mayor Mary Sue Rowland did not propose the idea for Shakespeare in the Park at Federal ARTS Hills Commons. But she brought on board the person who did. During her first term in 1992, Rowland appointed Jane Campbell as the city’s first “Minister of Culture,” a position designed to promote and grow the arts in Noblesville. A long-time arts advocate and leader of the Noblesville Shakespeare Club, Campbell proposed the popular Shakespeare in the Park series in 1993 and remained actively involved in it until her death in 2006. As a tribute, the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission created the Jane Campbell Award, given to an individual who enhances and supports local arts. The first award was presented Aug. 2 prior to the Shakespeare in the Park performance of “Macbeth.” The recipient was Rowland, who not only had the foresight to appoint Campbell, but also proposed the creation

Blueprint for Improvement: A masterful bathroom remodel in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: This home was built in 1999 in the Fishers’ Sandstone Lakes neighborhood. The master bathroom included original finishes, plus a freestanding shower and standalone tub.

THE CHALLENGE This bathroom is connected via an open doorway to the master bedroom. The homeowners wanted to create a sophisticated, spa-like retreat that would blend seamlessly into their master suite.

THE SOLUTION 1. The floorplan was redesigned to connect the bathtub and shower into a single “wet room,” which maximizes available space and gives a true spa-like experience. 2. The double window over the tub was replaced with a sleek, single window that allows for privacy without the need for window coverings. 3. The tile floor features a glazed porcelain finish with the illusion of textured fabric. 4. The homeowners wanted a lot of drawer space, so the cabinets under the sinks were designed with drawers at the bottom to avoid interference with the plumbing. For the vanity, the countertop was lowered to make way for four small cosmetics drawers. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Apply sunscreen early and often Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Did you know that redheaded people only make up 1 to 2 percent of the world’s population? There’s a reason we are so scarce: the sun. I’m that person GRAMMAR GUY who can get a sunburn on a cloudy day. People have been known to get secondhand sunburns by just standing near me outside on a sunny day. I’m so white I get a moonburn. I’m like a vampire or something — I step out into the light of day and basically just burst into flames. This is why I always apply sunscreen. I apply it early and often. If you noticed, I used a few adverbs just now (always, early, often). Not only did I employ a handful of adverbs, but I used a handful of adverbs of frequency. Adverbs of frequency describe how often something happens. They include always, usually, sometimes, never, frequently, often, then and weekly. And, I have more good news for you: Adverbs of frequency come with their own set of rules. When your sentence has more than one verb, use your adverb of frequency before the primary verb. Here’s an example: I have often received a sunburn during the month of November. Here, we sandwiched our adverb of frequency (often) between the bread slices of our sentence’s two verbs (have and received). If your sentence contains only one verb, place your adverb of frequency after your subject and before your verb. Curtis never tans. He always wears a swim shirt to the pool. We use adverbs of frequency to signify things that happen on a routine basis. Because of this, we usually employ these adverbs with the present simple tense. If you want to “throw shade,” as the youths say, when you’re using an adverb of frequency in the negative while forming a question, place your adverb before your primary verb. Are you normally so angry, or are you just like this on days that end in “-ay”? Most of the time, place definite adverbs of frequency (including finally, last week, today, monthly and already) either at the beginning or at the end of your sentence. When the adverb is the focus of your sentence, save it for the end: I will do the laundry tomorrow. When it’s not the emphasis of your sentence, use a definite adverb of frequency at the beginning: Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever do laundry again Practicing good grammar — much like applying sunscreen — is a fantastic life decision. I encourage you to do it early and often. Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer. Connect with him on Twitter (@curtishoneycutt) or at curtishoneycutt. com.

Front of Amsterdam’s Central Station. (Photo by Don Knebel)

History of Amsterdam Central Station Commentary by Don Knebel Amsterdam Central Station has become a symbol of the city, attracting more visitors than any other of the Netherland’s more than 60,000 national heritage sites. TRAVEL Like many other now iconic structures, critics originally panned its location and its design. Amsterdam developed along the south shore of a bay now known as IJ Lake. By the 17th century, the bay was among the busiest ports in the world. By the 1870s, trains had become as important as ships in bringing people to Amsterdam from throughout Europe. As a result, city planners identified potential sites for a major railroad terminal about a mile-and-a-half inland from the port. Railroad engineers had a different idea. They wanted to build the station on three interconnected artificial islands spanning the south end of IJ Lake. The Dutch government accepted that plan despite strenuous local objections. Because the terminal’s location effectively separated Amsterdam from its port, many at the time called the location a catastrophe. The station’s ornate brick exterior, featuring turrets and intricate details, was designed by Pierre Cuypers, NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE FISHERS CITY COUNCIL Docket No. AN-19-8 The Fishers City Council (“Council”) hereby gives notice that it will hold a public hearing on Monday, the 16th day of September, 2019 at 7:00 o’clock p.m. (the “Public Hearing”), at the City Hall Auditorium located at Thomas Weaver Municipal Complex, Fishers City Hall, One Municipal Drive, Fishers, Indiana 46038, to consider a Petition for voluntary Annexation (the “Petition”) of one (1) Lot known as Fishers Church of Christ Expansion, generally located on the north side of E 126th Street, east of Cumberland Road, Fishers, IN 46038, and consisting of approximately 1.34 acres. The legal description can be found at the Fishers City Hall in the Department of Community Development. A copy of the Petition is on file for examination at the Department of Community Development, One Municipal Drive, Fishers, Indiana, 46038. Interested persons may file written suggestions or objections relative to the request with the Planning and Zoning Department at or before said meeting, and/or they may contact Megan Schaefer, Planner III with the Planning and Zoning Department at 317-595-3155 prior to the Public Hearing for assistance. All interested persons desiring to present their views on the above Petition, either in writing or verbally, will be given the opportunity to be heard at the above-specified time and place. The Public Hearing may be continued from time to time as may be found necessary. FISHERS CITY COUNCIL PETITIONER: City of Fishers City Hall 1 Municipal Drive Fishers, IN 46038

who also designed the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam’s famous state museum. Protestant critics lambasted its resemblance to medieval cathedrals. The station opened in 1889, after a number of delays caused by the instability of the marshy soil. It rests on more than 8,000 wooden piles and includes a platform more than nearly a half-mile long. The cast iron roof, supported on 50 curved trusses, was imported from England. Today, Amsterdam Central Station serves more than 160,000 passengers a day, many arriving and departing on one of 50 international trains. The only passengers now coming to Amsterdam’s port arrive on cruise ships, which dock near the backside of the station. When the queen travels by train, she has access to an ornately decorated waiting room built exclusively for her. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
