To our readers: Effective with the Oct. 29 editions of Current you will notice a change. To better serve you and our advertisers, we are relocating our printing operations to a different plant. As you will come see, the press setup there will provide you, our advertisers and us improved color reproduction, ink density and color registration. In addition, the canvas of our papers will shrink somewhat. Feedback we received after a press test was incredibly positive, and so the decision to change was made. We hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the improved print version to be easier to read and, perhaps, a bit more portable. Let us know your thoughts atÂ info@youarecurrent.com, and, as always, thank you for reading Current. Sincerely, Brian Kelly and Steve Greenberg, Founders and owners

Church to conduct FamJam Parenting Workshop Nov. 2 By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com Holy Cross Lutheran Church, which serves the northeast side of IndianapoEVENT lis, Fishers and Geist, will conduct its second FamJam Parenting Workshop from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 2 at the church, 8115 Oaklandon Rd., Indianapolis. FamJam aims to provide new ideas and give advice to parents, grandparents and caretakers in the community. The workshop will feature 15 professionals discussing topics such as managing unrealistic expectations for perfect parenting and perfect kids, reclaiming peace in the home, raising strong-willed children, handling a child’s anxiety, building executive functioning skills, a journey of prayer for a marriage, time management, grandparenting and more. “There are so many families in our community that need to know that they’re not alone,” said Hannah Lang, the church’s director of children and family ministries.

“This parenting thing is really hard, but it’s also really, really important. It’s a very challenging job, and it’s also one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. We think it’s important for the community because pouring into the next generation effects all of us. When we encourage parents, then they can pour that into their families and their children, then we can create a better future for everybody. We believe stronger families means a stronger community.” The day will begin with refreshments from 8:30 to 9 a.m., then an opening assembly from 9 to 9:20 a.m. From 9:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m., there will be three sessions where participants will choose which workshop they would like to attend. Lunch from Chick-fil-A will be served from 12:30 to 1 p.m. Childcare is available for infants through eighth grade, and it will include entertainment by Rejoice at Recess, Lakeview Ministries and Steve the Science Guy. There also will be a craft, snacks and music. Tickets are $10. To register, go to hclcinfo. com/famjam.

MEETING NEEDS Mobile app partnership helps MSDLT assist students, families By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

The Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township has COVER STORY tried its hardest to meet each students’ needs, such as clothes or food, and a new partnership is strengthening that effort. Tracy Beer, a family liaison for Lawrence Township, first heard of the Purposity mobile application while at a conference. Purposity, a word created from the combination of purpose and generosity, provides a platform for school districts and nonprofits to post student or local needs, and it gives the community a way to provide those needs. “Purposity is an app that was designed to fill the needs of families or students,” Beer said. “I was very intrigued, so I came back and talked to (Director of Student Services) Shawn (Bush) last October. I told her about it.” Purposity is free for school districts to use. After MSDLT Supt. Shawn Smith agreed to the app, Beer and Bush began collaborating with Purposity. “There was no losing,” Bush said. “It was a win-win.”

In mid-July, Purposity informed MSDLT that it needed 300 followers of the application to be able to go live. “We ended up at about 225 I think, and I reached out to Purposity,” Beer said. “I could see our numbers drop some and add some, so I reached out and said, ‘Hey, this is what we are seeing,’ and they went ahead and launched us early so we wouldn’t lose any (more users).” The app went live for MSDLT at the end of September. To kick it off, Beer posted three needs from students, which were filled within 24 hours. “I posted about 10 more a few days later, and all of those needs were met; we had all the items here within the building within a week of posting those original needs,” Beer said. When posting a need, Purposity allows the district to select a first and second choice item from Amazon to fill that need. “It’s such a win-win, because we do have very specific needs that come up from time to time,” Bush said. “For example, sometimes we have young ladies who are pregnant and need maternity clothes. We had a young man who was very large for his age and needed a 4-XL, and we didn’t have any 4-XLs. We had a family who

had a kitchen fire and they needed pots and pans and kitchen utensils. So, with something like this, we can be really specific about needs so we aren’t pulling our resources and running out to Walmart really quick to try and get something. “This is just, it’s a way for the community to assist students and families, and that it makes it so much easier for us. It’s so convenient and so timely, I’m really excited. We are trying to get more needs posted.” The district may have some supplies on hand, such as school supplies or back-

packs, but there are other items people don’t think of when donating to schools. “We go through coats like crazy in the winter, so a lot of times we run out of certain sizes,” Beer said. Other items commonly needed include household items, alarm clocks, lamps, air mattresses, underwear and more. “People don’t think to donate household items to a school,” Beer said. Purposity is free for Apple and Android users. For more, visit purposity.com.

ANONYMOUS DONATIONS The Purposity app is completely anonymous, in which the donors aren’t aware of the recipients’ names, and the recipients don’t know who provided the donations. When a need is met, it ships from Amazon to the MSDLT district building on Sunnyside Road. Donors aren’t informed which school the student in need attends, but they do receive some information, such as age and gender, to help shop for certain

items. “They don’t know race, name, school,” said Tracy Beer, family liaison for Lawrence Township. “The other cool thing the app does is it allows us to send thank you notes once we receive the item. We can take a picture of it, the example they gave at conference was the item was a new pair of shoes and the picture showed the student’s feet with the new shoes on (but not the student).”

ESSAY

LETTER

A skill mastered

Fishers Cares launches

Commentary by Terry Anker Everything old is new again. As life moves ever too rapidly from one moment to the next, icons appear and then fade into our shared experience. One minute, we are all enjoying “Scooby Doo,” the next is “Hill Street Blues,” then “Friends,” then, in an instant, “The Big Bang Theory.” Our favorite actors and tag lines give way to new ones. The coffee mugs and T-shirts reminding us “let’s be careful out there” are traded for ones bearing images of Ron Swanson.” Our deep, emotional investment in whether Tony Soprano would ultimately get whacked turns out to be no more important to the subsequent generations than who shot JR. It is all quite disheartening. Did we waste those years spent waiting to see if Coyote would finally get the Road Runner for dinner? But surely, our perfecting the ideal way to separate Oreos or rapidly remove the orange from Cheetos will have use as we accelerate even further into adulthood, but it doesn’t seem to come up in the corporate cafeteria as it did in the elementary school lunchroom. Still for many of us, a skill mastered only requires an opportunity to reemerge. Let each generation decide the content. But shouldn’t our grandkids know how to drain the crème filling out of a Twinkie? Don’t our children deserve to know the sublime joy of Igor’s hump in “Young Frankenstein?” And, aren’t we the ones to tell them? Even more, it seems that Flamin’ Hot Cheetos pair beautifully with an aged barrel-strength bourbon. We can still learn! Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Grab a rabbit’s foot Commentary by Danielle Wilson Are you superstitious? I am. I truly believe the only way the University of Louisville can win a game is if I wear my Cards T-shirt with a pair of Express jeans HUMOR and avoid caffeine and pickles for the entire day. And that hearing Rod Stewart’s “Forever Young” in full means a family member is pregnant. I also never take chances with sidewalk cracks, tails-up pennies, spilled salt or black cats, for obvious reasons. Part of my superstitious nature I blame on genetics. I am a ginger twin and have supposedly inherited special sensory connections to my sister. Although, it’s really only worked one time, and that was on her end. Furthermore, by all accounts, my maternal grandmother was “born under the veil” and therefore had “the sight.” And my mom is extremely intuitive; she always knew when I was “with child,” even before

Rod Stewart or I knew. So I’ve grown up with both an appreciation for trusting my instincts and the belief that “signs” foretelling the future do exist for those who choose to read them. (Case in point: My favorite show, “This is Us,” had a whole storyline devoted to the Vietnam War; I was then awarded a teaching grant to Vietnam. Coincidence? I think not.) Anyway, I bring this topic up because the most superstitious (and awesome-est) holiday of the year, Halloween, is upon us. Weird things can and will happen, especially if you’re not prepared. So, grab a rabbit’s foot, wear some garlic, and take care around mirrors. And if you hear “Forever Young,” congratulations! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “I have not special talent, I am only passionately curious.” — Albert Einstein

Editor, Four years ago, Fishers launched an initiative to address mental illness in our community. Since that time, the community has embraced this movement in a profound way. Public safety, HSE Schools’ students, teachers and administration, health care professionals, business leaders and many more rallied around the initiative. As a result, systemic changes to our city’s approach to mental illness is making an impact. However, we must not slow down. Each person living in quiet despair because of stigma is one person too many. Grassroots community engagement is just one of the ways to sustain a cultural shift to end the stigma toward mental illness. The interfaith community is collaborating to bring this shift to the forefront through a program called Fishers Cares, which launched Oct. 21. Located in places of worship and businesses across our city, Fishers Cares Listening Posts are led by local leaders trained in mental health first aid. Anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts often come with stigma that prevent us from seeking help. The mission of Fishers Cares is to help ease that stigma.

The Handyman’s Tale Commentary by Dick Wolfsie While waiting in the doctor’s office the other day, I picked up a copy of “Handyman Magazine.” HUMOR One story was what to do if your Gorilla Glue hardens in the tube, and there also was one on how to dig post holes in sandy soil. I read both of those carefully. After 40 years, Mary Ellen and I are always looking for something new to talk about. There was a three-page spread on “How to Cure a Sick Ceiling Fan.” What would the fan be complaining of? Periodic dizziness? One piece was called “Best Advice for DIYers.” I thought it was going to be about how to successfully drink and drill at the same time. Then I discovered that a DIY is a Do-It-Yourselfer. Another entry was titled “How to Make a Hidden Cutting Board.” I can never find ours when we need it, so I decided to skip that kitchen improvement project. The best read was “Maintaining Your Chimney.” It contains a list of what you will need to do the job, stuff found around most houses. You need brushable crown

sealer, chimney water repellent and a stainless steel chimney cap. I had all of that in the garage except for the brushable crown sealer, the chimney water repellent and a stainless steel chimney cap. Another article began, “Trying to run fish tape through an insulated stud bay can be a nightmare.” You have to have a pretty dull imagination if this is what you have bad dreams about. The regular monthly column is about making your own tools — a way to either save money or create a gadget not available in hardware stores. In this issue, the author showed how to take a long flexible, piece of tubing and attach a flashlight at the end for work in dark, hard-to-reach places, as in a do-it-yourself plumbing project. It was really a neat gizmo, but I ripped the page out and tossed it in the trash. My next colonoscopy is coming up in 2020 and with all the costcutting in medicine, the fewer doctors who know about this, the better. Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist and speaker.

A brewery reminiscent of a European beer hall soon will open in downtown Noblesville. Brewery co-owner Nathan NEW BIZ Compton of Castleton said the plans are for Primeval Brewing to open its doors in November. The brewery is the first brick-and-mortar location for Compton and fellow co-owner and Fishers resident Tim Palmer, but the pair is not new to brewing beer. Between the two of them, they have 20 years of brewing experience and have earned more than 170 awards. When deciding where to open the brewery, they said downtown Noblesville had a certain appeal. “We wanted to create a place that feels like an old-world European beer hall, and so downtown Noblesville was one of the areas we targeted when looking because of the historic nature,” Compton said. “We loved the eclectic mom-and-pop shops down here. We found this location (960 Logan St.), and 111 Monument Circle, Suite 4150 / Indianapolis, IN 46204 /t 317/632/6501 /CVRindy.com /

Compton and Palmer signed the lease for the building in February 2018 and have been renovating the building since. In addition to beer, Primeval Brewing also will have wine, cocktails and a small food menu.

Librarian’s obituary sparks playwright to create ‘Alabama Story’; ATI to present By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The concept for “Alabama Story” came to Kenneth Jones while reading The New York Times’ obituary of Emily Reed in PLAY 2000. Reed, who was born in North Carolina in 1910, moved to Indiana as a baby. She grew up in Culver, where her father was a doctor and earned her undergraduate degree from Indiana University. She eventually became the director of the Alabama Public Library Service Division. “In 1959, she was persecuted by politicians because she defend a children’s book about a white rabbit that marries a black rabbit,” Jones said. “In Montgomery, Alabama, and other places, the mix of races was not embraced. I was fascinated by it. I thought she was a big American character with big ideas and big drive to protect her world.” Actors Theatre of Indiana will present the Indiana premiere of “Alabama Story” Oct. 25 through Nov. 17 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts. Jones will be there for the opening weekend. Cynthia Collins plays Reed, who defended keeping Garth Williams’ book “The Rabbits’ Wedding,” in the library. A southern state senator named Edward Oswell Eddins tries to ban the book in 1959, accusing it of promoting integration and interracial marriage. “These people went to the extreme to stop integration,” Collins said. Collins said ATI co-founder Don Farrell brought the play as one of his choices to the table for the new season. “He said, ‘Cindy you could be the librarian, and I can be the senator. These roles are really good for us,’” Collins said. Collins said she had to read it twice to really sink into it and decided it was a great part. “She’s kind of an unsung hero, very understated,” she said. “She did win the Freedom to Read medal right before she died. She knew it, but she died before it

could be presented to her.” Farrell, 50, plays the character based on E.O. Eddins, who is named Sen. E.W. Higgins. “He was a big segregationist in the lines of (former Alabama Gov. George) Wallace,” said Farrell, who was born in North Carolina and eventually moved to Chattanooga to an Atlanta suburb. Farrell said it is difficult to repeat some of the racist lines, like “we stick with our own kind.” “For some reason, it wouldn’t get in my head,” he said. “But growing up, I knew a lot of people that held these beliefs. I don’t think it’s indicative of just the South. “There are still lessons where we came from and how far we have to go.” Maeghan Looney, based in Chicago, plays Lily Whitfield. “Lily is a born and bred daughter of Alabama. Her father is the head of cotton company,” Looney said. “She also grew up in a sheltered bubble.” Jones created fictional character, Whitfield, and a black man named Joshua Moore, played by Cameron Bass, to illustrate the social environment of the time. Looney said her character and Moore were childhood friends. “But they hadn’t seen each other in 20 years,” said Looney, a Huntington North

High School and Ball State graduate. “It’s about coming to grips with what happened in the past. They see it differently because of their place in this era. It’s about how to move forward from there.” Jane Unger, from Oregon, is serving as director. Unger was contacted just a few weeks before rehearsals began because the original director had to withdraw for family reasons. “I love the play, and it’s good fit for me,” she said.

SPECIAL SESSIONS There will be a talkback session with playwright Kenneth Jones, ATI co-founder Don Farrell and faith leaders, including Carmel Interfaith Alliance President Rev. Jerry Zehr, following the 2 p.m. show Oct. 27. On Nov. 2, Culver Academies alumni will receive $5 off the ticket price in addition to a meet-and-greet with Jones. On Nov. 15, IU alumni will receive the same discount and meet-and-greet using the promo code IUNIGHT online. Cardholders with the Carmel Clay Public Library or Indianapolis Public Library also can receive a $5 discount. For more, visit atistage.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: More room for family on Sweetwater Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

Background: Built in 1974, this waterfront home in Ninevah, Ind., is a welcome weekend getaway destination for a busy Fishers family.

THE CHALLENGE The 1,700-square-foot, two-story home didn’t offer the homeowners and their grown children a lot of livable space, indoors or out. Odd-sloped ceilings in the living and dining area cut into valuable floor space. The previous addition to the second floor wasn’t taking full advantage of the lake views.

After

THE SOLUTION 1. The small windows in the second-floor living area were replaced with a wide, four-panel sliding glass door, which offers unobstructed views of the water.  2. By adjusting the roofline on the second floor, the sloped ceiling in the living area was removed, providing an openness that the space was initially lacking.  3. Luxury vinyl flooring was chosen for the living area, thanks to its durability and water-resistant properties.  4. The second-floor deck was added and extends past the screened porch to provide ample room for relaxing with friends and family.  5. Tongue-and-groove carsiding was used on the second-floor deck ceiling.  To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com, or stop by one of our three locations.

It also is among the world’s most TRAVEL haunted. In 1903, Luna Park, a spectacular new amusement park, opened on New York’s Coney Island. The concept soon spread to Australia, with Luna Park Melbourne opening in 1912. In 1935, another Luna Park opened on Milsons Point along the north shore of Sydney Harbour. Luna Park Milsons Point was an immediate success, with people standing in long lines to ride the Big Dipper, a wooden roller coaster. Visitors entered through a huge face, which became the symbol of the park. Luna Park was particularly popular with American sailors on shore leave during World War II, leading to a temporary reputation for prostitution and brawling. In 1972, at the height of its popularity, Luna Park began staying open year-round, eliminating the winter downtime previously employed to maintain the rides. The decision proved disastrous. In April 1979, 13 people were

injured when one Big Dipper car smashed into another stalled by a malfunction. In June 1979, the park closed after a fire on the Ghost Train killed six children and one adult. The park closed again in 1988 when inspectors found that several of the rides were unsafe. In 1994, noise complaints from nearby residents led to another closure. When Luna Park reopened in 1995 with greatly restricted hours, financial difficulties soon led to yet another closure. The park reopened in 2004, owned by the Luna Park Reserve Trust, a government agency. With newer and safer rides, Luna Park is again among Sydney’s most popular destinations. The 30-foot-wide smiling face at the entrance is the park’s eighth. Constructed in 1994 from polyurethane and modeled on an image of Old King Cole, it is registered as a heritage site by the government of New South Wales.
