As any good Hoosier gardener knows, it’s never too early to start planning your next crop. With this in mind, the Purdue COUNTY Extension’s Master Gardeners program in Hamilton County is sponsoring the first Central Indiana Seed Swap later this month. The event will be at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville, Jan. 27. Gardening enthusiasts are invited to buy, sell and trade seeds from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is free and open to everyone. “Every gardener has extra seeds that never get used,” SEEDS Committee co-chair Shelli Broadbent said. “Bring them to our seed swap and take home some new seeds. Even if you don’t have any seeds to share, you’re invited to this event. There will be plenty of seeds for everyone. Join us for an afternoon of meeting other gardeners and chatting about all things green and growing. In addition to going home with seeds, you’re sure to go away with new information.” Fellow co-chair Jennifer Lambert said the event also will serve as an opportunity to learn from other local gardeners. “A seed swap is a great opportunity to meet with local gardeners and experts to exchange tips, knowledge and, of course, seeds,” Lambert said. Attendees will be able to choose from fruit,

vegetable, herb, flower and native seeds. One of the main attractions will be the rare variety that cannot be found in stores. Although seed swaps are quite popular, this is the first official event of its kind in Hamilton County. According to Broadbent, the last Saturday in January is National Seed Swap Day. It began Jan. 26, 2006, in Washington, D.C. Broadbent and Lambert came up with the idea for the local event after attending a swap in Indianapolis. “Vegetable gardening is my passion, so in the winter months, I’m usually reading up on seed catalogs and planning my next season,” Lambert said. “In February 2016, I attended the Benton House Seed Swap in historic Irvington, hosted by Peter Kuhns. I immediately fell in love with the whole idea of sharing seeds and talking to interesting people. I took a couple of seed varieties to trade and met one of the vendors, Jim Wyant, a.k.a. Tomato Jim. I asked if he would be willing to trade some of my loufa seeds for some of his tomato seeds and, sure enough, he agreed.” The group has made progress on its Hamilton County Seed Library, which will open in March at the Carmel Clay Public Library. The Seed Library will be free to Hamilton County residents. Patrons can check out up to five packets per visit (a total of 15 packets per season) and plant them in their home gardens. At the end of the growing season, they are asked to save seeds to return to the library or to use in their own gardens next season.

As a Hamilton Southeastern High School running back, Jackson Sweeney had some nifty moves on the football field. On the dance floor, he’s not EVENT so sure. Sweeney is one of 17 contestants in the Mr. Royal talent show contest for HSE senior boys. The show is set for 7 p.m. Jan. 25 at HSE’s Leonard Auditorium. “It’s going to be a little nerve-racking,” Sweeney said. The theme is “Movie Night,” so contestants will dress as a movie icon. There will be an interview, talent portion and group dance number. Nicholas Epperson has been interested since his freshman year. “I’ve gone to all three shows, so I’ve been a huge fan of Mr. Royal,” said Epperson, a choir member. Jackson Brazelton attended Mr. Royal his

sophomore year and loved it. “All my friends did it last year and I knew it was something I wanted to take part in,” Brazelton said. Performing is nothing new to Brazelton, who also is involved with musical theater, drama club and choir. Although most contestants keep it as a surprise to the audience who they will portray, Brazelton said he will be Austin Powers, the character Mike Myers portrayed in a trio of movies. Joe Keller, who played football for four years and competed in track for his first three seasons, knew about Mr. Royal but had never seen the show. “I’ve heard about (Mr. Royal) but I’ve never went,” he said. “I thought it would be fun to do something funny.” Tickets are $8 and are available at HSE during lunch hour.

Police in history

New headquarters to showcase FPD through the years By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The new building that will house the Fishers Police Dept. will offer more to its officers and the community than an expanded headquarters. Officer Robert COVER STORY Bowling and Det. Tom Brooks are collecting historical artifacts, such as photos or older police gear, to display in the new headquarters, which will open in the fall. “This was the chief’s idea. He tapped us to start trying to compile the history of the department,” said Bowling, who’s served on FPD for nine years. “It’s not as daunting as a task as State Police because our history only dates back to 1976, when (recently retired) Chief (George) Kehl was the only cop here. So, what we’re trying to do is collect as much stuff as we can, whether that be old photos, badges or hats.” Bowling said many of the items were donated from inside the department, such as from retired police officers. “We know a lot of people from the public who have lived here all their lives that may have pictures of police investigating traffic crashes or at Freedom Fest,” Bowling said. Each floor will have its own theme. For example, polygraphs will be on the investigations floor. Bowling said he’s a history buff, which is why Chief Mitch Thompson recruited him for the project. Bowling then asked Brooks to assist on. “We give so many tours every year, whether that’s for the citizen’s police academies or school groups. It’d be nice as they go through the police department to have something they can read or relate to how law enforcement has changed from 1976 to now,” Bowling said. “Those are some

of the things I want to try to highlight. The new department is about how law enforcement has changed over the decades and how we’ve had to keep up with technology.” “Our department ballooned overnight pretty much,” Brooks said of FPD’s growth. “We have to grow with the city. The population of Fishers increased so dramatically that our department had to keep up.” FPD now employs 106 officers. “My intention for this whole project is this is a living project. It’s going to continue well past when we are in the new PD,” Bowling said. “As we take new pictures, we are going to add them to the database so when we’re retired and gone, those pictures will become very historical. It’s a big task to begin with because were starting from zero as we slowly build up on it. When we retire, whoever comes behind us already will have something in place to build upon.” Bowling and Brooks are asking for the public’s help with the project, such as submitting photos, old equipment and related items. The displays will rotate, so donations can be returned to the owners. “We can scan them in or donate them completely,” Brooks said of photos. “We will give credit to whoever loaned us photos or equipment.” Donors will fill out a form to submit to the police department. Bowling is in communication with the Indiana State Police to learn the best way to create a historical museum, such as where to find mannequins and other required items. Bowling said they also are looking into establishing

A LITTLE PIECE OF ENGLAND Billericay, England, is Fishers’ sister city. Officer Robert Bowling and Det. Tom Brooks want to showcase the relationship in the new police headquarters. “We are trying to highlight that historical relationship about how we became a sister city with Billericay, England,” Bowling said. The city has some Billericay police items, like a bobby hat and a police badge. They are on display at City Hall but might move to the FPD headquarters when it’s complete. “We want to bring those over and have a little section dedicated to our relationship to Billericay,” Bowling said. a wall to memorialize officers FPD lost to cancer.

Sick days

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker If we are lucky, they don’t happen very often. In fact, some people go years without a single one. A 2017 study released by California-based Integrated Benefits Institute holds that the U.S. spends $227 billion per year on sick days and the loss of productivity that goes along with them. Interestingly, the expense for illness is not distributed equally across all employee classes. For example, office workers cost more than those in the service industry. Moreover, this particular study only addressed private companies with paid sick leave policies. The actual numbers for all Americans must be much higher. It is difficult to measure the cost to the individual in lost wages, position and opportunity. The work rarely goes away and awaits our return. We fear that we are burdening our co-workers in our absence. Are they resenting carrying the extra load? Have we asked too much from them? To be sure, when we are ill, we should stay home. It is better for us. And, it is better for those who work with us. Yet, understanding the line between too sick to be productive and just sick enough to be annoyed is more of an art than a science. Sure, a feverous contagion should be a clear signal to stay in bed. But, what about a sneeze? For many of us, working from home can bridge the gap. We stay productive, at least to some degree, while not exposing our colleagues to our incapacitation. Alas, for many, going to the office is the only option. But, are we doing anybody a favor by trying to be a hero? Probably not. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Order in the Universe

Commentary by Melkote Ramaswamy

It doesn’t take much to realize and recognize that the world around us in all its ramifications is simply RELIGION given to us – the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the rivers, the oceans, the vegetation, the forests, animals, birds. We had absolutely no hand in creating any of these. In a sense, these are all God-given gifts to us. If we accept this premise, we can recognize the hand of the Lord in myriad other ways. One such is order. The sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. The moon goes around the earth, and all the planets merrily revolve around the sun without ever colliding with each other following what physicists and astronomers call Kepler’s Laws and exerting gravitational forces. There is a certain rhythm/regularity in the occurrence of seasons. There is order in the human body. If one were to look at the number of drugs and over-the-counter medicines in a typical drug store, we get an idea of the number of ailments that can possibly exist in the human body. Many things can go wrong but don’t because of an inherent order; there is harmony in the way

the organs work. Order also manifests as harmony in nature. Humans and animals co-exist living in their own worlds but enrich and supplement the creation, which in itself is part of a big order. Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters – these also are part of the order. No matter how tragic their consequences may be on a macroscopic scale, they are still a part of the larger cosmic order. So is the beauty of a rainbow and of the waterfalls. It is humbling to realize and recognize that everything in the universe is just order and we are just blessed to be part and parcel of this divinity called God. Various natural forces and conservation laws of momentum and energy should be convincing enough to convert an atheist’s views on God. We often speak of Seven Wonders of the World, without ever realizing we are part of the biggest wonder – one that transcends all religions. Melkote Ramaswamy, a Westfield resident, is a physicist, writer, speaker and author of “An Immigrant celebrates America” (University of Indianapolis Press, 2007.)

Doo and I have four teenagers. I like this phase of parenting, not only because it’s less physically demanding but HUMOR also because most nights are free from motherhood responsibilities. I was recently reminded of those literal dark times, though, after one of our twins had her wisdom teeth removed. We found ourselves planning ahead for the overnight druggings in much the same way we used to divvy up feedings. “I’ll take the 10 p.m. hydrocodone if you can get up at 2 a.m. for the prescription Motrin.” Somehow, I got the short end of the stick with the early morning assignment, and though I like to think I can rise to any challenge, this one kicked my butt. I’m simply too old for such nonsense! Long ago, when my babies were actually babies, I was the queen of getting up in the middle of the night. I could make an Enfamil bottle one-handed in under a minute by moonlight. Sure, I occasionally fed the wrong kid (even boy/girl twins look identical at 3 a.m.) and would sometimes purposefully ignore the cries of hunger for a few more minutes of sleep, but ultimately I did my job and did it well. Not so much anymore. Middle age and midnight feedings/patient care do not mix. The alarm scared me to death because I’d forgotten why I’d set it. My eyes couldn’t read the Rx labels, even after turning on the light. And I nearly killed myself retrieving a cup of water when I tripped over a discarded boot. A far cry from my parenting glory years! That’s OK, though. I much prefer where I am now. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

My wife noticed that I was continually swatting flying bugs in the house. I told her this one little black gnat had HUMOR been bothering me for several days, but every time I took a whack at it, it disappeared. “Those are not insects,” Mary Ellen said. “You have floaters.” “What’s a floater?” I asked. I always thought a floater was a dead body the police found in the river. Mary Ellen explained to me that floaters are an eye disorder that is common with people my age. Then she realized why, for the last several weeks, I was always waving at her while we were watching TV. At first that little gnat was annoying, but with proper eye-roll and head tilt, I could sometimes control exactly when and where Skipper would appear (yes, I named him). He still makes unannounced appearances — like right now, as I’m typing this, he’s driving me crazy. For a few days, Skipper totally disappeared, but then this morning he returned with a friend — a squiggly line underneath him — who follows him around wherever

he goes. He was doing a great job driving me nuts on his own. I’m not sure why he needed a partner. One website suggested this home remedy: While sitting in a chair, rub your hands together briskly to warm them, and place your palms over your eyes. My wife walked in as I was trying this, and she thought I wanted to play hide-and-seek. Another site revealed a nutritional fix for floaters. It’s a regimen for consuming large amounts of citrus fruit like lemons, limes and oranges for 10 straight days. I tried that for almost two weeks. The bad news is I still have floaters. The good news? No signs of scurvy. I called my brother in New York to see if he had any experience with this condition. “I don’t know what you mean by floaters,” he said. “But before we hang up, I was wondering, do you guys in Indiana also have houseflies in the winter?”

Chose a wedding date strategically. (Submitted photo)

Eleven-step guide to the perfect wedding editorial@youarecurrent.com Every couple wants their wedding to be absolutely flawless. Achieving perfection, however, requires quite a bit of organizing. Here are a few things to remember when planning your big day. 1. Choose the date — Make sure your closest friends and family members will be able to attend. If your sister’s pregnant or your best friend is planning a trip, choose your date strategically. 2. Draft the guest list — Make a list of all the people you’d like to see at your wedding. Keep your budget in mind. 3. Make your reservations — It’s a good idea to book the venues for your ceremony and reception as soon as possible, especially if you’re getting married during the summer. 4. Send out invitations — The earlier you send out your save-the-date cards and invitations, the better. Be sure to ask invitees to RSVP. This also is a good time to designate bridesmaids and groomsmen. 5. Draw up a floor plan — Make sure to visit the venue as many times as you need to. If you’re planning to hire a band, display a slideshow or organize a karaoke session, confirm that the location allows it. 6. Decorate the venue — Get in touch

with your florist and decorator to discuss your ideas and ask for advice. If you’re on a tight budget, consider taking care of the decorating yourself — just make sure you start early. 7. Choose an MC — Who will be the master of ceremonies for the event? Someone you know, or a hired pro? Also, think about the music: band or DJ? 8. Shop for your attire — Don’t forget about makeup and hair trials, and start shopping as early as possible so you can find all the best deals. Also, think about how you’ll accessorize your outfit for the ceremony. 9. Go to the jeweler’s — Choose your wedding bands wisely—after all, you’ll be wearing them for the rest of your life! 10. Choose the menu — Is your goal to please as many people as possible or to step off the beaten path? Do you need to plan vegetarian options or kid-friendly snacks? Determine what type of meal will be served at your wedding, and don’t forget drinks and desserts. 11. Immortalize the day — Photobooths and disposable cameras are great for capturing candid memories, but you’ll probably want to have a professional wedding photographer on location as well.

Six wedding dress trends editorial@youarecurrent.com Whether you dream of an endless train, a bold two-piece or a ballerina-inspired crinoline, there’s a wedding dress out there that’s just right for you. Here are a few trends to inspire your wedding-day attire. 1. Keep it light — This year, light, airy fabrics are everywhere. Stay clear of thick, compact materials, which weigh down the silhouette. Embroidered feathers are a great way to add an ethereal touch to your gown. 2. Daring necklines — Transparency and lace are popular this season, as are illusion necklines (covered by a light, sheer fabric) and deep, plunging Vnecks. Corsets are essential. 3. 3-D details — These days, the biggest names in haute couture have been showcasing a variety of dresses featuring 3-D floral embellishments. Lace and rhinestones also are stylish ways to add texture to your gown. 4. Bold black — Black has been making an appearance on runways worldwide. While most designers use it in small touches, some are daring to unveil all-black dresses. Silver, gray-blue and

light blue also are fashion show mainstays this season. 5. Show-stopping shoulders — Bare shoulders are on trend. Popular dress styles include strapless, halter and off-shoulder. 6. Don a bow — Oversized bows are stealing the spotlight, especially as belts. Worn over the shoulders or in the back, they can even replace the traditional train.

UIndy professor addresses economy at OneZone By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Matt Will sees positive and negative economic factors which will affect the economy if President Donald NATION Trump is able to enact all his proposals.

in Fishers. Will supports the rollbacks of some of the regulations under Trump. “Regulations cost money, and I’m not talking just taxes,” Will said. “There were 20,000 regulations under Obama, the most in history. The second most was Bush II (George W. Bush). We’ve had 16 years of massive increase in regulations. The cost of this is not taxes.” Will said there are justifiable regulations. However, he said repealing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act, which puts major regulations on the financial industry, would boost the company. The U.S. House of Representative voted to kill Dodd-Frank in June, but it remains stuck in the Senate, Will said. Will Will said the result of the regulations was a loss of productivity and wages. “This was a jobless recovery and incomeless recovery,” Will said. “We’re just now getting over it.” Will said the recently passed tax bill that lowers the corporate tax from a top rate of 35 percent to 21 percent should benefit the economy. When corporations get extra money, they will do one of three things: Reinvest their money, give it to their owners or give it to their employees. “These will be three things that will happen and they are all good,” Will said. Will said the tax code encourages companies to bring the profits back to the U.S. “If you make profits overseas, you can bring it back with no tax, pretty cool,” Will said. “There is a nice incentive to bring money back. There is a real incentive in the tax code to make stuff here and make profits here.”

However, Will said the problem is there is a labor shortage. “We don’t have skilled labor, especially in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math),” Will said. Will pointed out Indiana is a huge beneficiary of free trade. “We get a ton of money from other countries coming to our state,” Will said. However, Will is concerned with the 35 percent import tariff Trump wants to impose on U.S. companies making products outside the U.S. “Meaning if you are Ford and you move a factory to Mexico to build cars and you bring the cars back, (Trump) wants to charge you 35 percent. Ouch,” Will said. “He wants to renegotiate NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). He wants to change the World Trade Organization. He wants to enforce intellectual property rights. He wants to deal with government subsidies and currency manipulation.” Will said if Trump is unable to enact the tariff and cut back on immigration, it will have a negative impact. “Those two things will reduce growth, and they will cost you more,” Will said. “They will reduce productivity.” Will said two things are necessary to grow the economy. “You need productivity and you need people,” Will said. “If we are totally flat on our productivity, unless we have more people, we can’t grow. We want safe immigration. I’m a fan of skilled immigration. “I love what (Purdue president) Mitch Daniels said, ‘When you get your degree, it should come with a green card.’ So, if you get a Purdue engineering degree, you get to stay. If we don’t have immigration, we will not grow.”

Beef & Boards to present Mamma Mia By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ron Morgan has eagerly awaited when the licensing rights to present “Mamma Mia!” would be released to THEATER regional theaters. “I was so excited to hear Beef & Boards was including it in their season and very thankful they chose me to direct the show,” Morgan said. “I remember the late ‘70s and early ‘80s and the music of ABBA. Morgan I first saw the show in Chicago and decided I would love to do it someday.” Morgan also will serve as choreographer for “Mamma Mia!” for 66 performances at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, 9301 Michigan Rd. Indianapolis, from Feb. 1 to April 8. The story of a mother, a daughter named Sophie and her three possible dads is set on a Greek island paradise and told through Swedish super group ABBA’s tunes. As Sophie prepares to marry, she wants her father to walk her down the aisle. She doesn’t know who her dad is, so she invited all three men to the wedding. Morgan said the show does provide a need for more rehearsal time. “The music of ABBA drives this show and the vocal arrangements include a great deal of back-up vocals which require more rehearsal,” said Morgan, who lives in the Castleton area of Indianapolis and owns Carmel-based Performer’s Edge Dance Theatre School for Performing Arts. Morgan said he was fortunate to be included in the casting of the show, which involved a trip to New York City. “We had a great turnout at the audition because actors simply want to perform in this show,” Morgan said. “We have a mix of very talented local and NYC actors in this production. I’m really looking forward to putting this one together.” The cast includes Westfield resident Don Farrell, a co-founder of Actors Theatre of Indiana, and Indianapolis resident Jeff Stockberger. Morgan expects the show will appeal to a wide range of audiences. For more, visit beefandboards.com

Resafa: Honoring Sergius Commentary by Don Knebel Resafa is an ancient town near Raqqa, Syria, until recently the de facto capital of the so-called Islamic State. Although TRAVEL most Americans have never heard of it, Resafa was once a famous Christian pilgrimage site. The known history of Resafa goes back to the ninth century B.C., when it was identified in Assyrian texts as a military camp. The Bible reports that the king of Assyria warned Israel that he had captured Resafa (Rezeph) despite the supposed protection of its gods. The Romans eventually maintained Resafa as a fortification against the Persians. At least according to legend, a Roman soldier named Sergius was beheaded in Resafa during the reign of Emperor Diocletian for refusing to worship the Roman god Jupiter. Before being killed, Sergius was reportedly ordered to walk around Resafa in women’s clothing, with boards nailed to his feet. Christianity soon became legal in the Roman Empire and Sergius became a celebrated martyr. A church was built over his grave and the site began attracting pilgrims. In about 425, the town was renamed “Sergiopolis.” A three-aisle basilica, called Basilica A, was later erected to hold relics associated with Sergius and to accommodate the growing crowds. In the sixth century, Byzantine Emperor Justinian erected a mile-long wall, featuring 24 towers and four ornate gates, to protect the town, at the time second only to Jerusalem in attracting Christian pilgrims. Despite the wall and a garrison of soldiers,

Ruins of Basilica A in Resafa, Syria. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Sergiopolis fell to the Umayyads in 636, who built a mosque just north of Basilica A. The town was abandoned in the 13th century and fell into ruins. Today, much of Justinian’s wall, including some of its beautiful gates, remains intact, and portions of the arched walls of Basilica A remain standing. Resafa/Sergiopolis was retaken from the Islamic State in June 2017, with little reported damage.

Falling coconuts kill an estimated 150 people worldwide every year. Because I don’t want to GRAMMAR GUY get killed by a falling coconut, I’m working on a patent for a combination shield/umbrella, which I’m thinking about calling the shumbrella (coming soon to a Bed Bath & Beyond near you). Falling from a height of 80 feet, coconuts can reach speeds of 50 mph. And, even though I haven’t noticed any coconut trees in Indiana (yet), a coconut could fall out of a plane, get shot out of a cannon or spat out of a really intense geyser, make an impact with my head and kill me. It could happen. What I really want to know is, when talking about my chances of getting killed by a falling coconut, should I use may or might? Is it “I may die as a result of the impact of a falling coconut” or “I might die as a result of the impact of a falling coconut?” When it comes to may or might, it’s a matter of likelihood. If something may happen, it’s more likely than something that might happen. The incredibly unscientific way I remember which one

REQUEST: At that hearing, the public will be invited to offer comments on the following request (“Proposal”): Consideration of an amendment to the Official Zoning Map of the City of Fishers, as amended by rezoning certain City owned properties to Open Space (OS). LOCATION: The Proposal is located at the southwest corner of 113th Street and Florida Road, also known as the following parcel numbers: 13-16-06-00-00-003.000, 13-16-06-00-00-009.000, 13-16-0604-01.001.000, 13-16-06-04-01-002.000, 13-16-06-04-01-003.000, and 13-16-06-04-01-062.000.

to use is: may = yay; might = yeah, right. As in, may could very well happen (yay) and might has a much smaller probability of occurring (yeah, right). Based on an incredibly small likelihood, I would correctly say I might die as a result of the impact of a falling coconut. As a left-handed person, I’m much more likely to die from operating a product intended for right-handed people. It happens to approximately 2,500 southpaws each year. And, with my poor track record using traditional, right-handed can openers, I would correctly say I may die while improperly operating equipment intended for righthanded users. I’m actually a little worried about the statistic about equipment killing lefties. After all, at 10 percent of the world’s population, our quantities are already limited. Let’s just say I’m unlikely to operate a chainsaw anytime soon; I might use a chainsaw, but I probably won’t. Curtis Honeycutt is a freelance humor writer. Have a grammar question?
