INDOT awards contract for I-69, 106th interchange news@currentinfishers.com The Indiana Department of Transportation has given Walsh Construction the $21.7 million contract to build a new interchange roads at 106th Street and Interstate 69, where construction could begin in April. According to INDOT, the City of Fishers and Hamilton Co. have partnered to contribute up to $12 million towards construction costs as a two-lane, oval-shaped roundabout will be built on 106th Street over I-69 with ramps to and from both directions of the interstate. The existing 106th Street bridge over I-69 will be removed and replaced with a pair of two-lane bridges each carrying one direction of traffic. One bridge, carrying westbound traffic on the north side of 106th, will also accommodate pedestrians. The direct access provided between 106th Street and I-69 will serve the area’s commercial and residential growth as the project aims to improve mobility and safety along the I-69 corridor in Fishers, while reducing congestion at the existing I-69 interchanges at 96th and 116th streets. Those I-69 interchanges at 96th and 116th are not easily able to be expanded due to the right-of-way impacts in those more commercially developed areas. According to INDOT statistics, more than half the crashes that occurred at those interchanges in recent years were rear-end collisions and more than 75 percent of them took place during dry, daylight conditions, with high traffic volumes likely the primary cause.
An oval-shaped roundabout on 106th Street over Interstate 69 will aim to increase mobility and safety along the congested I-69 corridor in Fishers. (Submitted renderings)
While 106th Street is closed, traffic will be detoured along Allisonville Road, 96th Street and Lantern Road.
While 106th Street is closed during construction, traffic will be detoured to 96th Street via Allisonville Road and Lantern Road. The new 106th Street interchange ramps and access across I-69 are expected to be open to traffic in November, while overall construction on the project could extend to June of 2017.

An employee of the Shell gas station at 96th Street and North by Northeast Boulevard contacted the Fishers Police Dept. after finding the skimmer device, which copies customers’ card information as it’s swiped to pay, hidden inside one of the gas pumps. Chief of Police George Kehl is reminding Fishers residents to pay extra attention when using their credit and debit cards at gas pumps and offered the following safety tips to keep in mind. • The safest way to pay is by going inside. • Look at the exterior of the pump before inserting your card and contact the cashier immediately if anything looks out of the

HSEHS World Connections Club hosting International Night Luxury in Fishers starts from the mid-$300s
By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Approximately 130 students representing nearly 30 countries will entertain, event educate and feed visitors to Hamilton Southeastern High School’s eighth annual International Night. The event, hosted by HSEHS’ World Connections Club, begins at 7 p.m. March 25 in the Leonard Auditorium. “We've been doing it awhile and it gets bigger and better every year and we have more people come and participate,” HSEHS Spanish teacher and club leader Vicki Lazaga said. The first half of the evening will see students take the stage to perform different cultural acts from their native countries. “Kids will sing, dance, play musical instruments. We’ve had tae kwon do. This year one girl is going to do some Russian gymnastics — it’s just a wide variety of performing arts and talent,” Lazaga said. “From there, we move to the cafeteria where students and their families and people from the community will set up tables that will have all kind of memorabilia, maps and food from their country, and

it's like a little international festival.” Proceeds raised from the event will be donated to Matanya’s Hope, a charity organization which benefits children in Kenya. “We've donated money to them, and we've collected shoes and backpacks to help them in the past,” Lazaga said. “One of our students has a relative that's connected with that organization.” Tickets to International Night are $4 in advance and available at HSEHS and $5 at the door.

‘Follow us, or keep quiet’
It would be an over-generalization to state here that all liberals hate the right to exercise free speech. We happen to believe, though, that many do, and what follows is the latest example … aside from the Trump-related throwdowns. California State University Los Angeles President William Covino recently abruptly canceled a speech by conservative author and advocate Ben Shapiro. The speech was titled, “When Diversity Becomes A Problem.” According to reports, twice it was approved by the student budget board and was sponsored by the conservative student group, Young America’s Foundation. But liberal groups aggressively protested Shapiro’s pending appearance and one professor threatened to wrestle conservative students who supported the event. That, right there, is big, highereducation thinking. Covino sent an email to YAF saying it would be best to reschedule Shapiro for another time as part of a panel offering different viewpoints on the topic. Liberal-focused speeches, including “Exploring Whiteness” and “Do Muslim Women Really need Freedom?” went on as scheduled. How much closer to fascism can this campus leader get? Plain and simple: Shapiro was denied his right to free speech. We have a new slogan for Cal State-LA: “Where you are free to speak your mind – as long as it meets with our agenda.” Of course, the mostly liberal mainstream media made zero stink about this. Heck, even comedians get it. Jerry Seinfeld said last year he avoids the politically correct college campuses at all costs, and the same goes for Larry the Cable Guy and Chris Rock. Sad but true, and we’ve come to expect the kind of behavior shown at Cal State-LA, and you should, too. It’s not where we’re headed as a nation, it’s where we are.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Adopting a future
Commentary by Terry Anker
Some families know adoption. Sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews – all can trace their blood lines to a terminus other than their own. Our own family is one of them. Who we are and where we come from can be a bit more complicated for some of us than others. Moreover, some of us care, a lot – really, a lot, unable to sleep, obsession, a lot – while others of us dismiss the whole affair as if the past is as irrelevant as 1950s morals at a Kardashian family reunion. “Long Lost Family” on cable television undertakes to unearth the buried past of exploring adoptees. It films the search of adults seeking their own now, even more adult, progenitors. The “birth parents” may or may not be friendly to being “discovered” by their biological children. With the passage of time (one would hope), perspectives have matured and folks are better prepared to reconcile their own complicated pasts. The stories are varied, but all are emotional.
How is it that we define who we are? Some is by what we do. Some is by where we spend our time. Some is by how we live. Yet context cannot complete the picture. There is more to the portrait. Who do we believe we are? Certainly, what others think matters; but it is our own perception that colors the scene. What is our story? What is our past? Can our history help predict our future? Adopted or not, what do we really know about our history? Can we adopt a future? Some of us are completely disinterested in anything in the rear view mirror; while others cannot move forward without full knowledge. How can we get to our destination if we don’t know where we are? Perhaps, we each decide our own story – if not the text, then certainly the interpretation. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

So here is the rundown on the current situation at Chez Wilson. Our kitchen is completely gutted. We have humor no cabinets, no oven and no stovetop. A thick layer of drywall dust coats the entire first floor. I’ve come home the last three days to find the dog, who appears to somehow have broken her tail, eating trash under the makeshift dining room table. Doo and I argue nightly over light fixtures, our latchkey children are living off of dry cereal and canned pasta, and the one break I get from dealing with the catastrophe of our house – jogging – consistently results in me peeing my pants. (Seriously, how does one hydrate efficiently without needing a Depends?) Let me also point out that I gave up not only my beloved Diet Crack but all soda for Lent. At least Jesus knows I’m taking my sacrifices very seriously this year. And yet, life is good. The kids complain about the lack of home-cooking, but seem excited about the renovations. Doo and I waste hours debating the virtues of pendant lighting versus wagon-wheel chandeliers but have had many quality dates at Home Depot. Our pets are taking advantage of doors left open, food left on the ground and the perpetual mud baths created as we drive through the yard every morning to navigate a narrow driveway with three cars since our garage has been converted into a temporary U-StoreIt unit. Yes, this past week has been every bit annoying as that last run-on sentence! How long can our sanity last? Who knows, but I’m proud of our stick-togetherness so far. We may all stroke out by the end of the month from the number of high sodium frozen foods we’re ingesting, and I might off Doo in his sleep if he continues to insist on wainscoting instead of beadboard, but with spring clearly on her glorious way in, the outlook is positive. There’s definitely a light and a case of Diet Coke at the end of this remodel tunnel. If only I could do something about the stupid incontinence. Peace out.

HSE needs referendum support Editor, On May 3, you have the opportunity to maintain the high standards of our school district by voting “YES” on the HSE Schools referendum. We cannot continue to invest in the future of our 21,000 students without your help. With the dollars generated from this new referendum, HSE Schools will be able to reduce class sizes, attract and keep quality teachers and better prepare our students for their future. As a former teacher, I can speak to the difference even a few less children in a classroom can make in the time and energy a teacher has to focus on your children’s education. And if we don’t address our salary schedule, we have and will continue to risk losing quality teachers that you and your children have come to expect. Having served for 20 years on the HSE School Board, I can speak to the tireless efforts of our board and administration to reduce the school district’s budget. We have frozen salaries, cut supplies and outsourced services all in an effort to save money with-
out sacrificing quality. We have even utilized energy audits, saving approximately $1 million per year. Our fiscal discipline has allowed us to avoid laying off teachers, but we have not been able to hire desperately needed new teachers to keep up with our growing student population. Our administrator to pupil ratio is nearly the lowest in the state. Our cuts have required an increased reliance on our parents, PTOs and Foundation to pay for essentials. The cuts have been deep and have hurt. But for all our belt-tightening, we still are facing a shortfall and must stop the financial hemorrhaging if we are to maintain the health of our district. If you have further questions as to other measures the board has taken to cut costs, please feel free to contact me at kharmer@ hse.k12.in.us.

Homeland security Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I was watching “House of Cards” one afternoon and suddenly the TV’s sound went off. I got out the cable manual. Every humor troubleshooting guide begins with the assumption you are clueless. 1. Does your house have power? 2. Is your unit plugged in? 3. Is the switch in the ON position? 4. Are you taking all your meds? I called the 800 number and explained the problem I was having. Dennis, their rep, required my PIN number, but I couldn’t remember it. “In that case, I have to ask you a security question you chose. Who is your favorite movie actor?” I was drawing a blank. “Could we use my wife’s maiden name, instead? How about my favorite superhero? Come on, work with me here.” Wait, maybe it was Mary Ellen who answered the security question. I called her on my cell phone. My wife was in an important meeting, but I was desperate. “Could you interrupt her?” I pleaded with the receptionist. “Please ask her
who her favorite actor is.” Apparently, Mary Ellen didn’t believe I would bother her at work for something that stupid. “That can’t possibly be my husband,” she told the secretary. “Ask him the name of his first pet. It’s Slowpoke.” Well, I blew that question, too. I answered Bosco, who was my first dog. I forgot about that silly turtle I got when I was 4. Then I remembered writing the PIN number on the back of the TV. Dennis did some kind of reset and soon the audio returned. But it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t remember who my favorite actor was, so I asked Dennis to tell me who I had picked. “Oh, I can’t tell you that, sir. That would be a breach of security.” “Wait a second, you’re not allowed to tell me who my favorite actor is? That’s crazy.” “Well, I suppose I can, but first I need to ask you a few security questions…” (Read the full version at currentinfishers. com.)

Gregory Hancock’s ‘SUPERHERO’ to return By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For the third year, Gregory Hancock’s “SUPERHERO: the story of a man called Jesus” will be returning to theater the Tarkington in Carmel. “It’s becoming this annual tradition, audiences have asked for that, they like this production and want it to be an annual Easter holiday tradition,” said Hancock, the director of the show. “We are doing that; this is the sixth time we’ve presented it.” The first three times the dance performance took place was at Pike Performing Arts Center, until Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre moved to 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel. The dancers tell the story of the last week of Jesus’s life without any vocals. “It is a contemporary retelling of that using modern music and contemporary music and I focus on the women in Jesus’s life, his mother and Mary Magdalen and the woman he meets at the well and the woman who wipes his face while carrying the cross,” Hancock said. “I think it is an interesting aspect that hasn’t been looked at as much and women were really important to him.” Jesus’s relationship with Judas Iscariot is also portrayed. Hancock said the concert starts off with a rock feel and then arcs into more classical music throughout the performance. “It focuses on Jesus as man more than as a god or savior, just more of a human and focuses on his struggles and having to come to terms with his fate and his destiny as a human being,” Hancock said. “These performances are starting to get a really big audience, church groups are becoming more interested in it. I don’t think you have to be of any particular faith to enjoy the show, it’s an interesting story and it’s a human struggle story.” The dancers have to tell the story with just their bodies and their motion, and Hancock said they have to be actors as well as dancers to pull off the performance. James Gilmer of Cincinnati, Ohio will play the character of Jesus for his second year. “James’s interpretation of Jesus is very different, his look is very different than

how Jesus was perceived, but that’s the beauty of doing a repertoire piece year after year is seeing different dancers or actors in those roles,” Hancock said. “I like the difference that James brings and the uniqueness that he brings to his interpretation of Jesus, that’s a pretty daunting role to tackle. He’s a beautiful dancer.” Hancock said the audience often times gets very emotional, and experiences a large range of emotions. “There’s a big arc, the performance is incredibly sad at one point and then incredibly uplifting a few moments later. We go through the resurrection and the crucifixion,” Hancock said. “Some scenes are very sad, very emotional but then it’s very uplifting and it’s light and beautiful at the end.” Hancock said that the modern, rock feel of music at the beginning of the perfor-
mance takes people aback at first, but that the feeling gets lost the longer the performance goes on. “It’s not just about Christianity,” he said, although the two performances do take place over Easter weekend. “People of all faiths can enjoy the beautiful dancing and music.”

Travis Frank born to perform By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com After one semester at Indiana University, Travis Frank realized he was itchmusic ing to get started on his music career. So he left school to make his musical career a full-time pursuit. “I’m doing what I love,” said Travis, a 2012 Fishers High School graduate. His album, which includes 18 tracks, will be released April 14, his 22nd birthday. “It will be pop, EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and hip hop. I’m looking to put together an acoustic EP as Frank well, maybe four-to-seven tracks,” he said. Travis is the oldest of nine children of Fishers resident Kelly and Tracy Frank. The youngest is 1 year old. “I play everything from classic hits of the ’60s to top 40 hits of today,” Travis said. “I try to cover a spectrum so everyone has one or two songs they really like.” Travis is playing free acoustic sets from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesdays at South of Chicago Pizza, 56 S. 9th St. in Noblesville, and on Thursdays, he performs at the Fishers location, 13578 E. 131st St.
“This is good because it gets my name out there,” Travis said. "Toward the summer, I’ll be getting a lot more patio shows and stuff like that. My goal for the summer is playing these gigs around town.” Kelly and Travis also play together with a band. “We play ’80s hairband Christian rock, and he has acoustic and electric dance music,” said Kelly, who owns Creative Approach Realty. “Depending what the venue is, we’ll do churches, we’ll do bars, and he can do it with himself or a full band.” Kelly said Travis’ love of music was established early. Kelly and Tracy toured in a Christian rock band when Travis was an infant. “Ever since Travis has been old enough to crawl, he’s been playing,” Kelly said. Kelly said the driving focus now is to get Travis’ solo career launched, but they will do some full band performances in the summer. Travis is represented by Blonde Entertainment. Travis and Kelly also act and model and are represented by Helen Wells Agency. They have appeared on the NBC show “Parks and Recreation” when it filmed in Indianapolis. Both portrayed gladiators during Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show and perform in commercials. For more, visit travisfrankmusic.com or kellyandtravisfrank.com.

Choco and peanut butter toast Commentary by Ceci Martinez
Teens, no need to drive to fast food joints! A real choco and peanut butter toast is a heavenly reward snack for those late night soccer practices or for a college student’s midnight treat. This yummy and healthy recipe is a breeze to prepare! Note: Feeling the blues? There is evidence that chocolate makes us happier. Research scientists have isolated the chemical in chocolate that makes us feel good. Tryptophan is what the brain uses to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. High levels of serotonin can produce feelings of elation. Serves: 8 Prep and cook time: 15 minutes Ingredients: • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels • 8 slices thin white bread • 6 tablespoons Trader’s Joe’s organic peanut butter (buy PB with no added oils, sugars and salt) • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened • 1/2 tablespoon sugar Directions: Preheat oven to 375F. Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Spread four slices of bread evenly with peanut butter and the remaining four slices evenly with melted

‘Tis the allergy season Commentary by Tammy Wittmann Allergy season has hit. If you are anything like me, this time of year can really be frustrating. One of the main areas eyecare affected is our eyes. Itchy, red, watery eyes are the telltale signs of ocular allergies but can sometimes be symptoms of other ocular infections. It’s important to have your eyes checked by your eye doctor if you are having these symptoms to rule out more serious infections. Also, keep in mind that watery eyes alone are not necessarily allergy eyes. And you can also have allergic conjunctivitis and not experience any other allergy symptoms like sneezing and rhinitis (hay fever). It’s important to note that the oral medications you may be taking for your systemic symptoms do little to nothing for ocular allergies. Some of the prescription nasal sprays will help but the most effective treatment for ocular allergies is an eye drop. There are some over-the-counter drops that work well, but you want to steer clear of any of the “get the red out” drops. Also, stay away from gener-
ics in this case as well. Generics can have more preservative in them because they are not regulated by the FDA. More preservatives mean less active ingredient and more irritation for the ocular tissues. The most effective treatments however are prescription eye drops. Contact lens wearers may not realize they have ocular allergies but have symptoms such as decreased contact lens comfort and shorter wearing time. Also, contact lenses may have more deposits on them causing temporary decreased vision. Some contact lens wearers have to switch to a daily disposable lens during allergy season as well. It is always best to have any ocular problem evaluated by your eye doctor to differentiate between allergic, viral or bacterial conjunctivitis as well as dry eye, since the treatments for each vary. Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

Commentary by Kara Babcock, an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor Spring is finally here. It’s time to get outside and enjoy the sun with exercise your little ones! Here are some great suggestions on activities, places and exercises,which you can do with your little ones outside this spring! Walking-Stroller lunges Stand behind your stroller with your hands on the handlebar shoulder-width apart. Lunge forward with one leg, pushing the stroller out in front of you. Your knee should be directly above your ankle and your thigh parallel to the ground. Return to the standing position and lunge with the other leg. Kiss the baby push-ups Find a bench and park your baby's stroller safely against the bench with the brake in place. Facing your baby/stroller, place your arms shoulder-width apart on it. Keeping back and abdominals strong, lower your chest to the bench, and then press back to the starting position. Keep your body in a straight line. As you are lowering your body, give your little one a quick little smooch or peek-a-boo for some giggles!
Walking-stroller lunges are a great way to work time with your baby into your fitness regimen. (Submitted photo)
Peek-a-boo Squats Stand behind your stroller with your hands on the handlebar shoulder-width apart. With your feet and knees forward, squat down as if sitting on a chair, keeping your weight in your heels and your knees directly above your ankles. (Be careful not to put weight on the stroller; you don't want it to tip.) Squeeze your rear end and return to the starting position. As you squat down in front of your baby, play a fun game of peek-a-boo so you can hear their adorable baby belly laughs!

Your privacy intervention Commentary by Randy Sorrell Several times a year a F.H., or Frantic Homeowner, calls, texts or sends a frantic email pleading for intervenoutdoor living tion with a neighbor. The sometimes hilarious stories all have a similar theme. “I love my neighbor, but…” But … they just put in an obnoxious play-set that stares at me when we entertain in our sunroom. But … their ambitious patio space is seven feet form mine and I can hear every whispered word. But … they just removed their overgrown shrubs and now I have a direct view into their kitchen. Please help! “I need privacy. Can you accomplish that without being blatantly obvious that I’m trying to visually block my new view? Please help!” Those words predictably follow the frantic hello. Of course we can help. This F.H. was my lovely wife thrilled that our great neighbors, who we adore, had strategically placed a hot tub directly in our view from our sunroom and patio.

Cucumbers sweeter when planted near sunflowers – It might seem odd, but when planted near each other cucumbers will be much sweeter.
Use Egg Shells as fertilizer – Rich in calcium carbonate, dried egg shells work as a great natural fertilizer. Try crushing them up in a blender before throwing them in your garden to enrich the soil. Source: Huffington Post
Water plants with tea -- Chamomile tea is great for keeping your plants healthy. Use it when watering to ward off bacterial and fungal infections and to prevent young seedlings from damping off. Just make sure the tea is completely cooled off first before you use it. Source: Huffington Post
Plant crocuses near lavender — Protect your crocuses by planting lavender nearby. Birds are more attracted to the fragrant flower, and it will prevent them from pecking away at your blooming bulbs. Source: Huffington Post
Consider plant placement – Keep your shorter plants on the south side of your vegetable garden and tall plants toward the north. This will prevent taller plants from casting unwanted shadows over smaller crops, shading them from the sun. Source: Huffington Post

Easily open and reseal envelopes – You’ve signed and sealed the perfect greeting card inside its matching envelope and then realize you forgot to include something – like a gift card or check. You can reopen the envelope without destroying it. Place the envelope in the freezer for about three hours. Take it out and slide a letter opener or knife under the flap. It should open neatly and you can then reseal it after you’ve finished. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com
Dish detergent substitute – Need a substitute for dish detergent in a pinch? You can use shampoo as a stand-in. The best shampoo for dishes is one formulated for oily hair, as it will cut through greasy food buildup. Try to avoid using conditioning shampoo, as it may leave an oily residue on dishes.

Organizing takeout menus – With today’s busy lifestyles, ordering takeout for dinner has become a frequent occurrence. A pile of takeout menus, however, can clutter up kitchen space. Keep them neatly organized in a binder with clear plastic sleeves. Write the date you got the menu at the top and replace as the menu changes. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com
Grow roses in potatoes – Early spring is a great time to plant roses because of the mild temperatures. Here’s a trick for getting healthier bushes from your cuttings. Take a cut rose and push it into a small potato before planting. The potato will help the rose retain moisture and will provide important nutrients. Source: GardeningKnowHow.com

Jesus forgiving Peter along Sea of Galilee. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Israel’s sacred lake Commentary by Don Knebel The Sea of Galilee in northern Israel is one of the world’s most famous bodies of water because of its association with travel Jesus. Perhaps the best-known story about Jesus and the Sea of Galilee occurred after his death. Only eight miles wide, with an area of less than 65 square miles, the harp-shaped Sea of Galilee is more accurately called a lake. Whatever its name (the Bible also calls it the Lake of Gennesaret, the Sea of Tiberias and the Sea of Kinnereth), the Sea of Galilee is the lowest fresh water lake in the world. Lying in the Jordan Rift resulting from the separation of the African and Arabian plates, its surface is about 700 feet below the level of the Mediterranean Sea. The Sea of Galilee is fed primarily by the Jordan River, which flows into it from the north and then flows out of it for 88 miles south until it reaches the Dead Sea, the lowest lake in the world. Jesus spent most of his earthly ministry
The winners for last month's Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Market District, are: Teacher Mr. Gibson Student Jackie Gantz St. Simon The winning students will get to have a lunchtime party and the teachers will receive gift certificates to Market District. The next deadline to submit an essay is April 15 To submit your 100-word essay about your favorite teacher, email it to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.
preaching in and around the fishing villages along the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, where his disciples lived and worked. His miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and the Sermon on the Mount took place on nearby hillsides. According to the “Gospel of John,” on a morning after his crucifixion in Jerusalem, Jesus suddenly appeared to some of his disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee after they had spent the night fishing, entirely without success. With guidance from Jesus, the fisherman filled their nets and joined Jesus for a fish breakfast ashore, where Jesus forgave Peter for having three times denied knowing him after his arrest. Today, a statue in Tabgha, an area on the northwest shore not far from Capernaum, remembers that event.
