Policy analyst examines how to grow Indiana By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Drew Klacik is convinced for Indiana to grow, it must be proactive about attracting people to move into the state. “We have to take development risks,” said Klacik, senior policy analyst at the Indiana University Public Policy Institute at IUPUI. “We have to invest in our future.” Klacik spoke about the Public Policy study “Thriving Communities, Thriving State” and how it relates to Hamilton County, central Indiana and the state Jan. 11 at the OneZone luncheon at Ritz Charles in Carmel. “The slowest growing states in the nation are almost all in the Midwest,” Klacik said. “Our (Indiana) growth rate is about 12 percent, and the United States is expected to grow around 29 percent. It’s because we don’t make as many babies as other places. It’s because our babies move away. That’s the big challenge we face.” Nine of the last 10 years, more people have moved out of Indiana than into Indiana, Klacik said. “We’re getting better at growing jobs and wages, but we’re not getting better as fast as the rest of the United States,” Klacik said. “We’re making progress while falling farther behind. That’s a troubling trend.” Klacik said most people moving into Indiana are from Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. “Those are three of the states dying faster

Klacik said keys are forward-thinking leadership and creating a thriving regional ecosystem. “One is to grow and attract jobs, the second is to grow and attract talent and third is to grow really attractive places to let you do that,” Klacik said. Klacik said it is easier to create human capital retention strategies than it is to create human capital attraction strategies. “More people migrate to Hamilton County on

A Royal talent competion By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The first time Hamilton Southeastern High School senior Max Carlson saw event the Mr. Royal competition as a sophomore, he was hooked. “Last year, I was in my friend Nick Ruddell’s act,” Carlson said. "Ever since I saw it my sophomore year I wanted to take part in it myself. I’m going to try and win this year.” The talent show is set for 7 p.m. Jan. 26 at the high school’s Leonard Auditorium. The theme of the 14th annual Mr. Royal is Happy Birthday. The 14 contestants will impersonate people 50 years old and traditional birthday icons. “The amount of times I’ve tried to explain what my performance is is ridiculous,” Carlson said. “So for now, I’m going to leave it a secret. I’m sure everyone is going to come out and be surprised. Everybody is going to be entertained by the act.” Carlson participates in choir and drama club. Carlson performed in the fall play “The Game’s Afoot,” and will play the lead role of Curley in “Oklahoma” in March. Carlson said he is still exploring college options. “Right now, I’m exploring communication studies or broadcast journalism, theater or political science,” Carlson said. The contestant who raises the most donations for Riley Hospital for Children will earn the Mr. Riley crown.

The contestants also will compete for the titles of Mr. Talent, Mr. Dance (best in opening dance number), Mr. Entertainment, Mr. Strut (best American icon impersonator) and Mr. Spirit (contestants vote on which one has the best attitude). Mr. Royal is the school’s National Honor Society’s main fundraiser. It benefits AdoptA-Family program, which provides gifts to families in need in the HSE district, and other events the NHS sponsors. Tickets are on sale for $8 in advance during lunches at the school and $10 at the door. Jill McGrath, the Mr. Royal sponsor, said the event often sells out.

Government alumni group, Winslow team for personal care-items drive By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com The Fishers Government Alumni Association recently partnered with Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery to benefit the giving back Fall Creek Township and Delaware Township food pantries. FGAA is a group of individuals who graduated from the City Government Academy in Fishers. CGA offers an eight-week course for interested individuals about the inner workings of city government. “A small number of us in the FGAA wanted to fill a need in the community that wasn't already being filled, and we came up with helping the food pantries. We came through the government, so this is part of the government of our area. After we were dealing with the food pantries for about six months, we started asking them what they really needed,” said M.E. Barwacz, FGAA member. The need came in the way of personal care items.

Culture

Patrick Lee, 19, will travel to Indonesia for a month in July to learn about military programs and culture. (Submitted photos by the Georgia Military College)

Fishers teen to travel to Indonesia to study military in foreign nation By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At only age 19, Fishers’ Patrick Lee is receiving worldly experience through the U.S. Army Reserve Officers’ cover story Training Corps Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency program. The Georgia Military College cadet will join approximately 1,000 other cadets in various missions around the globe. Lee’s will take him to Indonesia for July to learn about the nation’s culture and military programs. “Basically, we spend a month exposed to foreign culture and learn more about how others around the world perceive the U.S.,” Lee said. “It develops our culture and develops our English proficiency skills. We work with the host nation’s military and also do humanitarian service. We are educated on the social and culture aspects of the country.” Lee said he’s always been interested in the military, and he chose to attend GMC after receiving a scholarship. He won’t choose a specific branch of service until next year but said he is interested in infantry. Originally from California, he moved to Fishers last summer, when his father took a job in the community. He began school at GMC in August 2016. Although cadets couldn’t choose a specific nation for CULP, they could choose a region. CULP sends cadets to 40 nations. Lee said he chose the East Asian region because of his Korean ancestry. He visited Korea once in fifth grade.

Three Georgia Military College cadets will travel to different countries as part of the Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency program. From left, Patrick Lee, Jesse Hall and Haley Valentine.

GMC students participating in CULP Along with 19-year-old Georgia Military College Cadet Patrick Lee, Fishers, two other GMC students were selected for the Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency program. Jesse Hall, of Maryland, will travel to Madagascar, and Haley Valentine, of Missouri, will travel to Latvia. The missions will “support Army security cooperation objectives worldwide and include military-to-military training, Cadet English Language Training Teams and humanitarian assistance.”

“I’m very excited to go to Indonesia,” Lee said. “I think it’s a great opportunity. I think it offers me perspective by exposing me to the different lifestyle stuff between the U.S. and Indonesia.” Lee opted to attend a military college instead of enlisting right away because he wants to be a military officer. “You can become an officer after enlisting, but going to ROTC school specifically trains you to become an officer, and I just wanted to become an officer,” Lee said. “I always thought of myself as a leader, and I always thought the Army was cool. Being able to lead people and future soldiers of the Army seemed appealing to me.” Lee, along with the two other GMC cadets, is taking a basic survival skills language course. The course is a month long and is designed to help with his time in Indonesia. Besides his military training, Lee also takes courses in math, history, English and science. He attends physical training each morning. Lee will spend a few days in pre-deployment soldier readiness processing and training, and will spend another few days after his deployment in post-deployment soldier readiness processing. Both take place at Fort Knox, Ky. GMC is one of five military junior colleges nationwide. According to a press release, admission into GMC’s CULP program is highly competitive and extremely selective. For more, visit gmc.edu.

Let’s just see if this works We’re perplexed by all the angst associated with President Donald Trump’s demeanor and Twitter finger since the election. We kept hearing that once he captured the nomination, Trump would pivot to a personality more fitting of the nominee of a major political party. It’s Trump. Why should he change? His “style” has brought him this far. Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and the rest ran traditional campaigns, and they lost. We said Trump was the only Republican capable of beating Clinton (although we believed she would win). If nothing else, he would throw her off her game, which is exactly what happened. It always was difficult to argue his view that much of our government is run by incompetents. We do take solace in Trump’s cabinet picks, however. We find some inspirational, such as Rex Tillerson for secretary of state and Betsy DeVos for secretary of education, among others. We simply don’t understand why everyone is so afraid of Trump’s perceived lack of experience and “smarts.” He was smart enough, apparently, to defeat the entire GOP field, beat the Clinton and former President Barack Obama machines, and relegate the Bushes to the sidelines. This election was all about change. Similar to former President Bill Clinton’s brilliant “It’s the economy, stupid” line to remind his team why they were running, Trump talked endlessly about “bulldozing the status quo.” While he’s doing that, his supporters are going to give him all the leeway he needs to accomplish his goals. If he doesn’t, he’s a one-termer. At best. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Generous to a fault Commentary by Terry Anker We can call it generosity, hospitality, or maybe simple kindness. Yet, we all give, and we all take. Can we ever give too much? Maybe, but should we first ask if we can ever take too much? Most of us try to provide for a bit more than we consume. It is the Hoosier way. We open our homes, hearts and wallets to all. Friend, family and foe can expect shelter if absolutely needed. It is good to give. And, it feels correspondingly good. But there are times, oh, so painful times, when circumstance requires the intervention of another to provide for our requirements or those of our families. One’s strident hope to provide for our own needs falls short – and are even forced to depend, as Blanche DuBois, the tragic Tennessee Williams character lamented, on the kindness of strangers. If it is right and good to give, then is it right and good to accept? If we afford too much, so much that the lives of our own family members are to suf-

fer, it might be said that we have been generous to a fault. Conversely, can we likewise drink from the boundless support of others, so much that we come to expect if not demand the largesse, to the point of being counted as needy to a fault? Our good works rarely achieve perfect balance with those times when we might demand a return favor. Routinely, we do as we can while accepting favors not from those indebted to ourselves but instead from others. Knowing that we can never hope to realize ideal reciprocation, we pour out our generosity in the notion of an imagined cosmic equilibrium between what we’ve done and what we receive. Is it possible to maintain an accurate balance sheet? And if so, how does one go about keeping account? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E  O F   T HE WEEK “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

– Helen Keller

Well, friends, it’s finally happened. Doo and I have successfully caught one of our children in a bold-faced lie. humor After all these years of suspected truth-forgoing, I can now confidently say, “Parents 1, Kids 0!” A glorious moment for moms and dads everywhere, to be sure. On New Year’s Eve, our precious firstborn child, all 6-foot-2 of him, looked me in the eyes and told me he’d be spending the night at a friend’s house. I sent G out the door 95 percent certain he was going where he said he was. Like any good parent, however, I allowed that remaining 5 percent to dictate my next action, texting the mom to verify the plan. Before hearing back, though, Doo and I went off to our own celebration and completely forgot about our oldest until the following morning when he returned home. He’d had a good time, they’d gotten some sleep ... now he was headed down to the Colts game. Great. Have fun! But later that day, at a neighbor’s hangover party, the hostess casually mentioned to Doo that her daughter had seen G out last night, at some girl’s house. Honestly, I didn’t think much of this information, assuming the boys had gone to this party for a while and then headed back to the friend’s. Like most gullible moms, I didn’t really believe my son would lie, at least not to me. Around 4 p.m. that day, though, the truth emerged. My mom-friend responded that they had not been at her house for New Year’s Eve, nor had they ever planned to be. What? I felt adrift. Part of me actually crumbled and screamed, “Nooooo, not my baby!” while ironically, the other part let forth a resounding, “Ah-ha! Busted!” I like to think G confessed immediately because of the guilt he felt at lying, but his admittance was more likely due to the incontrovertible evidence stacked against him. Regardless, he served his punishment stoically and will hopefully think twice before his next teenage mis-adventure. Or at least be more diligent in hiding his tracks! Peace out.

A nod to policing Editor, It is not uncommon to see on the news some sort of police misconduct. The reality is that there is far more good than bad in modern policing, especially in Fishers. The citizens and businesses of Fishers have shown tremendous support during these uncertain times of policing. Your acts of kindness and written support means more than you can imagine. The traditional motto of policing is to “protect and serve.” On a daily basis, the men and women of the Fishers Police Dept. work to do both. FPD takes pride in keeping Fishers a safe place to live, work and play. It has been the hallmark of what makes Fishers one of the best cities in America. However, I think many of our citizens do not realize how our officers serve them beyond normal day-to-day policing.

This past December our “Cops & Kids” program provided a wonderful Christmas for many children that would have otherwise gone without. Our officers assisted a single mother with painting bedrooms and providing basic necessities for the home. They also provided food and a place to stay for a homeless family living out of a van. A local resident even helped the father find a job. I often speak of the stories that our officers come with when we hire them, the background that makes each of them unique. What I have come to realize is that those officers continue to write their stories every day with the tremendous work that they do. We should all be grateful for their service to our community. Sincerely, Mitch Thompson, Chief of Police

A new year’s resolution Commentary by Mike Colaw Telos is a Greek word meaning “full purpose” or “complete meaning.” There isn’t a good synonym in the English religion language. An acorn’s telos is not only to grow into an oak tree, but a healthy oak tree that reproduces many more oak trees. It doesn’t stop here. The acorn’s full telos isn’t achieved until it plays its role in the ecosystem, when the single tree plays a healthy role within its species by making oxygen, providing a safe place to live for animals, nourishment for other living things to eat, and ultimately dies providing healthy compost for the next generation to achieve its telos. Telos is looking at a grand majestic purpose from the perspective of one seed. Many believe that one of the deepest hungers in the human heart is to understand one’s telos. What is my purpose and do I matter? Not does “it” matter, but do “I” matter? Many people who want to debate Christianity or even religion in general miss a very important part of it. They love to go back and forth on the historical piece. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a great place to have debates and fun to do so! However, it is only a very small piece of the pie. Christ answers humanity’s telos and does so in a way that also ad-

dresses the complex sentient part of us. This week I led a funeral for a strong Christian family. In the last days of their loved one’s life it wasn’t historical arguments or apologetics, but Christ’s telos that gave deep strength to the family. Ignoring this part of faith is like picking up a novel and discrediting it because of a misspelled word. Even if you’re right about the misspelled word you’re missing the point of the whole book. It’s interesting to me how some people can be right in what they observe and yet nearly blind to the actual point. The Bible is a collection of many different literary forms and styles written over thousands of years. Some are detailed firsthand accounts, others are parables, synecdoche, metonymy, anthropomorphism and so on. However, they all work to explain one powerful telos – Christ. This year I encourage you to look into the Bible beyond quick Google searches. I want to challenge you to seek its telos. Make time for the metaphysical. It’s powerful, and when people see it, everything in their life changes. Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church. You may email him at justthink@ luke117.com.

REMODELERS

In last week’s column, I described how in 1967, as a 22-year-old college kid, I met humorist Art Buchwald. As he read humor one of my columns, a flick of his wrist over my byline in my school newspaper made an indelible impression on me … Wolfsie, stay out of my racket! – Art Buchwald In 2005, Art Buchwald entered hospice in Washington, D.C., prompting me to write a column about that first encounter. Friends suggested I send the essay to the facility where Mr. Buchwald was spending his final days. I stuffed a couple of newspapers containing my Buchwald column into an envelope and included a short note describing our brief meeting four decades earlier. I didn’t expect my package to reach him. He probably got thousands of cards and letters. A month later, I received those same two newspaper clips in the mail. And there, above my byline, scribbled in his very recognizable but somewhat shaky handwriting, were the following: To Dick Wolfsie: Anyone who writes a column about me can’t be all bad. – Art

Buchwald And this, on the second one: To Wolfsie: Thanks for the column. Now I can die happy. – Art Buchwald And finally, typed on his letterhead, with his signature: To Dick Wolfsie: I’m glad you went straight. I figured you’d be sticking up 7-11s. – Art Buchwald In my office is a huge framed display of the contents of that envelope. If my house is ever in flames, once my wife and cat are safe, that’s what I’m going back inside to save. Mr. Buchwald lived on for several months, even writing a final book, “Too Soon to Say Goodbye,” a remarkable look back: “ … uncertain and unfazed by the inevitable, living life to the fullest.” After he passed, the New York Times posted a video he made: “Hi. I’m Art Buchwald, and I just died.” Yes, he truly died laughing.

BUSINESS LOCAL Dispatches Energy Assistance Program – The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority has released plans for the 2016-17 Winter Assistance Program, which runs through March 12. The program provides financial assistance to low-income households to maintain utility services during the winter heating and summer cooling seasons. For more, visit in.gov and type Energy Assistance Program into the search box, or call 866-674-6327. Top loan originator – Residential mortgage lender Ruoff Home Mortgage announced that Joe Harvey was the overall top loan originator for their Carmel office for 2016. The top spot in each branch office is based on the number of closed loans during the Harvey month, as compared to their peers. Credit card picks – WalletHub has analyzed dozens of credit card offers and named the top picks for 2017. Picks were based on interest rates, reward bonuses and introductory periods. For people with good credit ratings, Citi Diamond Preferred Card or Chase Slate are both top choices. For people with limited or bad credit, Capital One has several decent options, or OpenSky Visa might be a good choice. Source: WalletHub.com High-growth stock dangers – High-growth tech stocks are among some of the market’s top performers in recent years. However, their breakneck gains can make them dangerous to hold. Investor Place has listed three large-cap tech stocks that trade at more than 100 times earnings and could take a serious tumble on any whiff of worry. 1. Amazon (AMZN) 2. Salesforce.com (CRM) 3. Netflix (NFLX) Source: InvestorPlace.com Tax scams – Tax season is right around the corner, and unfortunately, a surge in tax scams is likely to come with it. With identity theft on the rise, fraudulent returns using stolen Social Security numbers have soared in recent years. And many people don't realize they're a victim until their actual tax return is rejected by the IRS, since it only accepts one return per Social Security number. To reduce your risk, file your return as soon as you can to prevent anyone from beating you to it. Source: Fool.com

Mix up some sweet and savory recipes for Super Bowl Sunday entertaining Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Once again the time is coming to prepare your Feb. 5 Super Bowl menu. So here are some Super Bowl Sunday fun facts: • Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest day of the recipes year for food consumption in the U.S. Thanksgiving is first. • Americans are expected to spend in celebration of the big day a record $14.31 billion, according to the National Retail Federation.

• Americans will eat more than 4,000 tons of popcorn; 28 million pounds of chips; 1.25 billion chicken wings; and 8 million pounds of guacamole during the Super Bowl. • Beer sales will increase by tens of millions of dollars during Super Bowl week, and some police departments have noticed a dramatic increase in drunk driving on Super Bowl Sunday. Here are two great recipes to satisfy both the sweet and savory cravings at your Super Bowl party.

Crispy peanut butter balls Ingredients: • 2 cups creamy peanut butter • 1/2 cup butter, softened • 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal • 4 cups chocolate chips • 1/4 cup shortening Directions: Beat peanut butter and butter together in a large bowl until well blended. Slowly mix in powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in cereal. Shape into 1-inch balls. Refrigerate until firm. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a bowl in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip balls into chocolate using a toothpick. Tap on the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place balls on parchment paper, sprinkle with nonpareil bits and allow to dry.

Crispy peanut butter balls make a good Super Bowl dessert. (Submitted photos)
