Former resident discovers acting By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com Many actors looking for that break in show business take odd jobs to get by. Waiting tables or bartending are common gigs achievement to pay the rent until finding work, which can take months, if not years. Just ask Garrett Henson. The 22-year-old former Fishers resident moved to North Hollywood to live in a backyard shack in exchange for watering flowers while auditioning. Not six months later, Henson moved with friends to actor Jack Black’s former residence after landing gigs on TV shows, “Pretty Little Liars” on ABC Family, and “Wilfred,” on FX. Not a bad start for someone who discovered acting “by accident.” “I’ve always been told I’m animated or ‘make funny faces’ or just a big ball of energy so some of it just comes from me being me,” Henson said. Henson decided to follow an acting career in his early teens after being involved in a head-on car crash that caused him to reexamine his future goals. “I realized that life can be gone in a flash,” he said, so (I thought) ‘why am I not doing what I want to right now?’” Motivation also came from family, including his mother, who made a sudden transition from homemaker to breadwinner when Henson was a teen, as well as friends, such as 23-year-old student Aaron Pugh. Pugh, also of Fishers, recently ran 210 miles from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in Indianapolis to Millennium Park in Chicago. “Aaron Pugh has always been a big inspiration to me, he also went through some pretty tough times as a kid but always just kept going,” Henson said. Henson, then a freshman at FHS, transferred to Options Charter School in Noblesville so that he had flexible time to pursue acting. During that time, he practiced the art of performing using body language—at church. “I went to Creekside Ministries for a while,” Henson explained. “The congregation was over 50 percent deaf. I loved communicating to all of them but I didn’t know sign language so we played lots of charades!” Henson also joined a local rock band that eventually booked regional – and then national – tours.

Student wins art contest - Local Fishers 3rd grade student Morgan Walker was selected for her artwork contribution to Benihana’s 2014 Children Helping Children Coloring Contest, part of the Children’s Day program that culminated May 5. With the help of Morgan’s efforts, Benihana raised $50,000 in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. More than 17,000 submissions were collected as part of this year’s contest, and Morgan was selected for her unique contribution. As a thank you, Morgan received a Benihana hibachi dinner for eight people – a $250 value.

Garrett Henson, a 22-year-old former resident of Fishers, has launched his acting career by appearing on popular TV shows, including “Pretty Little Liars” and “Wilfred.” (Submitted photo.)

“When we played in L.A., I knew I wanted to live there,” he said. “Playing in the band allowed me to get out and practice the art of entertainment at a young age.” Henson credits his launch as an actor by networking, learning, and being on time for auditions. “In addition, always having a good attitude and extreme respect for everyone I encounter along the way is what continues to fuel that success,” he said. Henson’s role in “Wilfred” airs at 10 p.m. June 25 on FX, and the season premiere of “Pretty Little Liars” begins 8 p.m. June 10 on ABC Family. Follow Henson on Twitter: @GarrettWHenson.

Police dept. hiring Preventing child sex abuse

The plot of “Non-Stop” is more or less preposterous, with the villain sending Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) clues and taunts via text message, as the latter tries to puzzle out the identity of the bad guy during a flight. Is it the quiet Muslim fellow? The obnoxious cop? Or maybe the amiable woman (Julianne Moore) chatting him up before the stuff hit the fan? Read more at www. currentnightandday.com.

Fishers craves job opportunities Commentary by Larry Lannan The rapid population growth of Fishers in the past 20 years has been largely fueled by migration of residents from the Indiaopinion napolis area. Sustaining growth in Fishers will be measured by the ability of the community to attract and retain jobs in Fishers. There are some fairly large employers already operating in Fishers. The largest is the loan processing firm of Sallie Mae, which has about 1,500 people working at the local facility. Marsh Supermarkets headquarters in Fishers has roughly 525 people on its payroll. The Town of Fishers has been aggressive in working to retain businesses already in place here. The best example is Meyer Najem. The construction management firm had outgrown its building on 131st Street just east of State Road 37. The company’s owners looked at various options, including a move to nearby communities such as Noblesville, Carmel or Westfield. In the end, Meyer Najem decided to remain in Fishers after the town offered an incentive package which included a new headquarters building now under construction behind the Fishers Library along Lantern Road. Keeping current employers in town won’t be enough to sustain future growth. Fishers will need to find a way to attract new jobs and employers.

One part of that strategy is the business innovation center Launch Fishers. Several successful new businesses have already been hatched there and more local Fishers employers may be created in the coming years. There are indications Fishers will be aggressive in attracting existing businesses to relocate or expand their operations with jobs in Fishers. Town officials indicate they have the necessary tools to be competitive in luring employers hers. This will not be easy. There are plenty of suburban communities competing for the same employers. We have some major selling points in Fishers. Location, Inc., cited Fishers as the 19th safest city in America. In 2012, Money Magazine listed Fishers No. 12 among the top 100 best places to live in America. With our outstanding school system and firstclass parks and athletic facilities, Fishers can make a strong case to any prospective employer. Look for Fishers to be in the hunt for more jobs here. Town staff this year – city staff next year – will be ready to use all the tools in their arsenal to bring jobs to our local community. We all have an interest in attracting more jobs to Fishers.

HSE We the People Team was honored at the June 2 meeting of the Fishers Town Council. (Photo by Mackenzie Klahr)

Rezoning petition withdrawn By Mackenzie Klahr • news@currentinfishers.com The Fishers Town Council began its June 2 meeting by taking its most controversial issue off the agenda. The petigovernmeNT tion for the rezoning of the northeast corner of 96th Street and Mollenkopf Road had been removed by the petitioner just days before the council was scheduled to hold its third reading. In a recent email, Jennifer Bennett, a resident who has opposed the petition, informed interested parties that the rezoning petition had been dropped. In her email she claimed that the petitioner, Randy Campbell, withdrew because he didn’t feel he would get support. “This means it is over. If he refiles, he is starting over and has to pay the fees to file a new petition and it has to be significantly different than what was submitted in order for the Planning Board to take it seriously,” Bennett said. The council also heard a request for funding from the Conner Prairie Interactive History Park. A presentation showing the success and prestige the museum has brought to Fishers was given by the CEO and president of the museum, Ellen M. Rosenthal. She told the council that

more than 50 percent of those who attend the museum come from outside Hamilton County. “We have really enjoyed in the last few years working with the Town of Fishers, I think it’s been a terrific collaborative relationship,” Rosenthal said. This year the museum teamed up with the Fishers Arts Council for their retrospect exhibit and will co-host two symphonies with the town in the near future. The Fishers High School “We The People Team” also attended the council meeting to receive an award. The team, led by head coach Liz Paternoster, won at the Indiana State level and then took fourth at the National We the People Competition in Washington, D.C. Paternoster thanked the community of Fishers for financial and volunteer support. She noted that people such as Sen. Joe Donnelly, Judge Daniel Henke and Judge Paul Felix were a few of the many people who spent time working with the team to prepare for its endeavors. “This team it the first to go to the national competition,” Paternosters said. “They’re the best any team has done in the state of Indiana in over a decade.”

Hamilton Southeastern students are winning global awards in a program called Destination Imagination. achievement On May 27, HSE students competed in the Destination Imagination global finals at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. The middle school team of 13-year-olds called the Super Duper Cranium Movers placed second. This is the third year in a row the team has placed second. The elementary school team of 10-year-olds placed 13th and received a da Vinci award for exceptional creativity. “We’ve never won one of those so that was HSE history making right there,” said Kathleen Seitz, Destination Imagination Coordinator. Students receive the challenges on July 31. They then meet twice a week for nine months to prepare for the state, regional, and global competitions. “This is student-designed, student-organized, and student-executed,” said Seitz. “They are totally in charge if they fail or succeed.” In addition to creating a structure, the students have to perform an eight minute skit to go along with the challenge. This helps to build leadership skills and confidence, said Brian Mann, co-manager for both of the award winning teams. Mann’s sons Ben and Nick are on each

of the award winning teams. Ben Mann has participated in Destination Imagination since fourth grade. “I just saw a lot of leadership skills and he didn’t really have an outlet to develop those leadership skills before,” he said. “It’s his primary extra-curricular activity and he loves every second of it.” HSE has been involved in Destination Imagination for nineteen years. Students can participate in Destination Imagination from third grade through college, Seitz said. “We’ve had kids become prom dates with kids from other states, lifelong friends, and some of them are in college and are still going to globals and reconnecting with those kids,” she said. At the global competition in Knoxville, HSE students competed against about 80 teams in each division. Over 20 other countries were represented at the global finals, said Destination Imagination parent Michelle Jeschke. “While the kids are there they are watching other teams and our kids were playing games with kids from other countries,” she said. HSE was one of the only school systems in the region that participates in Destination Imagination, Seitz said. “There is nobody in Indiana that is represented like HSE, and I would say, probably across the country,” she said. “There is not one school corporation that had as many winners as we did.”

Father’s Day in Fishers

By Beth Taylor • news@currentinfishers.com

Hop aboard The Hoosierland train on June 15. The stunning yellow-and-black train departs from Fishers Station at 12:45 p.m. The half-hour ride stops at the historic Noblesville Courthouse Square.

Countdown to Freedom Festival

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com The 26th annual Fishers Freedom Festival is less than three weeks away. The festival is the largest event of the year in Events Fishers, with as many as 50,000 people expected to attend if the weather is pleasant. It takes lots of planning and volunteers to pull off. It also means there will be traffic issues and parking changes. So here’s what you need to know. Because of the construction downtown at Town Hall, some parking has been eliminated, but there are new lots that will take their place. The free shuttle will be running again this year, according to Jennifer Kehl, the executive director of Fishers Freedom Festival. “We will continue to run our free shuttle from the Town Hall, Alhuda Foundation, and this year we’re using New Britton Elementary,” she says and adds that all of the information is on www. fishersfreedomfest.org, including a map that

shows parking. There will be parking available at Holland Park, the site of the festival, as well for $5 but that space fills up quickly. There will also be a road closure for the parade on June 29; 116th Street from Hague Road to Commercial Drive will be closed beginning at 3pm until approximately 6 p.m. As for volunteers, Kehl says the festival need adults. “Right now we’re sending a shout out to kids 18 and over and adults to volunteer for our firefighter combat challenge. We say they have to be 18 or over because they have to be somewhat physically fit because they are going to be resetting the obstacle course. It’s not hard, it’s just that a young child would not be able to do it,” she says. They also need volunteers in the arts and crafts area, the 5k and children’s tent and those 12 and older are encouraged to sign up for those. If you want to volunteer, you can do so at the festival website, email at info@fishersfreedomfestival.org or call 595-3195.

The Fishers Chamber of Commerce has now settled into its new offices at the Forum Credit Union headquarters chamber news building on USA Parkway. The chamber had called the Fishers train station home for many years but had to move because of the decision to demolish the train station and build a new one. Chamber President Dan Canan says having

office space at Forum just makes sense. “The huge advantage is that we do so many events here. Our lunch programs are almost always at Forum Conference Center and our Business Expo and our Health & Wellness expo are all at Forum. So from that standpoint it is a close relationship with them,” he says and adds that everyone is welcome to drop by and check out the new offices. The Fishers Chamber of Commerce has 700 members, with 85 percent of them small businesses with 25 or fewer employees.

Commentary by Heather Kestian

The first day of summer is one of my favorite days of the entire year. The weekend prior to summer camp season beginplain talk ning is a weekend filled with complete exhaustion from frolicking outside for hours on end. I love everything about that particular weekend, including the answer to the question: Why is it so quiet in this house? Likely because the children fell asleep on the couch, or floor, or wherever their little, worn out bodies gave up the sleep battle. It was time to throw in the proverbial blanket. This year was no different. Soccer tournament, lunch, summer allergies from flying cottonwood (who plants these trees and why?), and running in the sprinkler. The day is capped off with grilling on the barbeque and children asleep before the sun sets. My favorite part of summer might be carrying completely passed out children upstairs. In short, I love summer. I have high hopes this year of enjoying some summer fun as we venture out and about in our fine state. We have plans to pick our own strawberries. I figure this will be a wonderful lesson for the kids. I believe you enjoy your food more when you know it grew so close to home.

We need to see what our state has to offer in terms of amusement parks as I have been remiss in my parenting duties thus far in life. And if we have not eaten at least three gallons of ice cream by the end of summer, I will likely declare that the summer of 2014 was lost. For the record, we are on pace to meet this goal thanks to Oreos, vanilla bean ice cream, and a manual food processor. I will let you all know the outcome of this lofty aspiration in September. Why is this summer so filled with events and fun-to-do lists? A dear friend of mine recently watched her youngest graduate from high school. She mentioned that she missed the weekend trips and kid-filled family outings. Things are different now. I took this as an invitation to seize the day – every day – that this summer has to offer. Some day, when the kids are grown, I hope we look back on these days with fondness and say, we had so much fun when we “fill in the blank.” I hope we have many blanks to fill in this summer, and for many summers to come.

Torch burns bright in fundraiser

Toenail Fungus – seek treatment before it spreads!

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

On May 30, officers from local law enforcement agencies within Hamilton County took part in a countywide Torch philanthropy Run to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics Indiana. Noblesville Police Dept. Lt. Bruce Barnes, who organizes the run, said it was the sixth consecutive year and seventh overall that the officers have held the rain-or-shine fundraiser. “Our numbers have increased each year and this year was no exception. We had more than 75 runners and supporters this year,” he said. Officers from the Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield police departments along with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept., Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office and Indiana State Police participated in this fundraising effort. Each agency started at a designated location throughout the county based upon their respective jurisdiction, traveled approximately six to eight miles and simultaneously converged on downtown Noblesville where they were joined by local athletes of Special Olympics for a lap around the Noblesville Square. “This is really no different than what we do on a daily basis here in Hamilton County as far as law enforcement. We take a great deal of pride in having tremendous working relationships with all of our law enforcement partners. The only dif-

ference in this case is that we shed our blue and brown uniforms and come together as a single unit representing one association – Hamilton County Law Enforcement,” Barnes said. Barnes said the officers are still collecting donations and do not have a final amount of funds raised for Special Olympics Indiana. Special Olympics athletes from Hamilton County and around the state participated in this year’s Special Olympics Summer Games in Terre Haute on June 6 through 8.

partners for their mission. Donations may include toiletries, socks, under garments, food or gift cards for food. Additional information on their efforts may be discovered at www.food4souls.com. Finally, Adams believes the return for new volunteers far outweighs an individual’s investment of time and supplies. “Here is an opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and make a difference,” she noted. “We are winning the battle, but we have to continue to work with our homeless. We have to encourage them and not set them up for failure.”

By Ray Compton • news@currentinfishers.com For most Americans and Hoosiers, Sunday afternoons represent a time to go to baseball games, attend events involving their children or go to the movies. But such is not the case regarding a group of residents from Fishers that is on a mission to improve the lives of those in central Indiana who have little time to think about COVER STORY different entertainment settings. These neighbors are instead worried about their next meal, their next change of clothing or their next escape from life’s struggles that frequently confront them. The saviors in this episode of a community cause is Food 4 Souls, a Fishers-based nonprofit whose members make a weekly Sunday pilgrimage to downtown Indianapolis to provide food, clothing and spiritual assistance to those who live in homeless street camps, abandoned homes or other temporary facilities. It is estimated that Food 4 Souls served over 4,000 meals to the homeless in 2013. That astonishingly annual rate has continued during the first half of 2014. “All of us have a passion,” said Dawn Adams, community relations director of Food 4 Souls. “We want to provide hope for these people. Our ultimate aim is to build relationships so that people come to trust that we are there to walk with them if they ultimately decide they are ready for a life apart from homelessness. We desire to see lasting change.” Food 4 Souls, a growth of Heartland Church at 96th Street and Hague Road in Fishers, has been active since 2012 when members and President Kevin Swila learned about the homeless camps that were sprouting up in downtown Indianapolis. There are as many as 10 such camps and about 70-80 persons live in the camps. Some reside in tents under bridges, while others may call an automobile or abandoned house as home. According to a 2013 Indiana University Public Policy Institute survey there are between 4800 and 8000 homeless persons living in Indianapolis. Almost all of the homeless have suffered dramatic setbacks in life. Some are enduring addictions (drugs or alcohol), while others may endure developmental disabilities, mental health issues or have criminal backgrounds. The rise of home foreclosures has driven some to the streets. “Homelessness can happen to any of us someday,” Adams said. Indeed, recent statistics indicate the spiral downward to homelessness is possible for many Americans. In Indiana, there is another daunting number in regards to the homeless. Nationally, over 40 percent of the homeless are children.

Indiana ranks 24th among states with homeless children. And another national statistic stabs the heart when it comes to thinking of the homeless. It is estimated that over one-third of homeless mothers have attempted suicide during her life as homeless. However, all is not dismal when it comes to confronting the homeless battle in Indiana. Enter Food 4 Souls and its army of devoted volunteers. Some members prepare hot food on Sundays. Others pursue and collect donations (such as toiletries, grocery gift cards, clothing, etc.). And a core group of six to 10 weekly delivers the food and other wares to the street people. These volunteers also hope to open a pathway to recovery and hope for those mentally or physically stranded. Prayer and counseling are the weapons of choice for Food 4 Souls. “I was frightened the first time I went to the camps,” recalled Adams, who joined Food 4 Souls in 2013. “The only thing that I saw about the camps and people was what I saw on television. But once you get there and you meet the people, it is an eye-opening experience. Many of them become your friends. You realize they are also the children of God and you realize that many of them want to move beyond where they are.” One of Adams’ first-hand experiences involved gaining the trust of one of the homeless. Eventually, the two became friends and Adams’ “friend” now resides in a recovery house in Indianapolis. It would be called a victory, for now. “I love him dearly,” said Adams. “You must remember that they are moving to the other side of the world when they enter recovery programs. It is a whole new game for them in the recovery situations. They have to take baby steps.” Swila and his teammates continue to aggressively pursue

Help the police by doing survey This is a good thing. The Fishers Police Dept. openly is soliciting your feedback. States the department: “As part of an ongoing accreditation process through the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, FPD again is conducting a citizen’s feedback survey.” The survey addresses specific questions regarding previous citizen contact with Fishers police as well as perceptions of safety in our neighborhoods and business areas. The department’s goal is to “achieve and maintain the highest level of quality service for our residents and visitors.” The department stated it believes involvement from citizens is indispensable in the FPD’s continued work to promote effectual police services and protection to all members of the community. Please, take a moment of your time to help the department by completing the survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/FPD2014Survey. This is yet another way our soon-to-be city government is attempting to involve the citizenry, hopeful that it will add up to an even brighter future. We urge you to seize the opportunity. ••• One of us is a former word guy, having spent the vast majority of his newspaper career on the news side of the business. He was a reporter, then an editor and lastly a department head. So, when The Associated Press tweeted last week that its new stylebook would allow the use of “over” when meaning “more than” or “during,” we both shuddered. This is simply the continuing degradation of grammar in America. In general, our countrymen comprise a lazy lot with respect to English usage, so Americans typically say, “It’s over $100,” when they mean, “It’s more than $100.” How about “over the weekend”? It should be “during the weekend,” Over is a spatial term, plain and simple. This, however, is a war we will not win – except with respect to its use in your newspaper.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Venture into mentoring Commentary by Terry Anker A civic board on which I have some responsibility for planning an annual retreat decided this year to invite a professional moderator to facilitate the discussion with the goal of making what is always an expensive day (in both terms of time and treasure) realize a sufficient return on its investment to be justified. Added to considerable use of staff time and even more from the 15 trustees, many of whose hourly rate would be staggering if so measured, the fixed costs of food and sundries will be the fee of the facilitator. We have selected wisely and expectations are high that the organization will benefit enormously from an organized review. The business of coaching, mentoring, advising, consulting and facilitating generates billions in fee revenue annually. Ostensibly the billions are turned into trillions in benefit to the folks mentored and the companies who employ them. As with any maturing industry, competition brings the best performers to the top and drives contenders to distinguish themselves in the

marketplace. The worst rely on platitudes, truisms and catch phrases to sell books, videos and all manner of claptrap. The best deploy carefully developed assessment tools and advanced emotional intelligence to find what’s great in us and bring it forward. But what makes us think we are qualified to mentor any other human – for pay or not? Is their asking enough? Assuming the role requires something significant. What are the traits of one who listens, evaluates and then mentors? Where are the failings of one who talks, dismisses and then ventors? If we vent our own self-perceived wisdom on the mentee, have we really helped them or simply reinforced our own insecurities? The upside to a solid mentoring relationship is significant – even worth the occasional ventoring episode – so, invest in one. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK I have found there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.

- Mark Twain

Many nights I go to bed thinking I am a mediocre mom, but every once in a while, I orchestrate a magical parenting humor moment and receive at least some validation that my children won’t be in therapy long. I experienced one of those times recently, so take note. There may not be another for two to six months. My youngest was participating in Field Day, and had begged my husband to come see her in just one event. His schedule was tight though, and it would be a miracle if he could take two conference calls, pick up the dog from the kennel, monitor our feverish son staying home from school, and remember to feed himself. Even for a talented multitasker, which I wouldn’t necessarily call Doo, the morning wouldn’t be busy. Trying to squeeze in a driveby to watch our daughter jump rope at 10:07 a.m. would possibly have him in Cuckoo-ville by noon. I did what I could to appease my own guilt of missing her big day. I had tucked her in the night before with “Have fun!” and “Don’t forget your sunscreen!” That morning, I packed her a special lunch, and covered the brown-paper bag with well-wishes. As I drove off to work though, I still felt miserable. She’d probably be the only kid without a cheering parent. But when I got to my school and looked at the tweaked schedule for final exams, I realized that my prep period would coincide with an extended lunch, giving me approximately ninety minutes of absolutely no teacher responsibility whatsoever. Hot damn! I called Doo, told him my plan, and went to work figuring out how to play hooky. (The secretary had my cell in case of a math emergency, but for whatever reason, when the bell rang, I rushed out with my head down and sunglasses on, hoping to blend with the throng of students should someone check the video feed!) By the grace of God, I arrived at my daughter’s school about five minutes before her 200 yard dash. When she saw me, the smile on her face was absolutely brilliant. She finished sixth, just shy of a ribbon, and on the next race, a relay, earned a third. I was only there 25 minutes, but was able to give lots of high fives and “I’m so proud of yous!” As I hugged her to say goodbye, she replied, “Thank you so much for coming to my field day, Mommy!” And thank you, my darling Maddie, for reminding me what’s important, and for letting me sometimes be a good mom. Peace out.

Technology conspiring against me Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I don’t like things going on in my house while I’m sleeping. I’m pretty hard on my appliances and after they’ve put in a good humor 12-14 hours, I think they should get the rest of the evening off. Plus, I can’t afford the overtime. When I hear noises in my house after midnight, it better be the cat or a burglar. I don’t want my dishwasher on time-and-a-half. In the evening, I also hear my computer grinding away. I know it’s up to no good and the result is that I’ve lost a great deal of trust in its operation. I am convinced that when the sun goes down, it has a hidden life. I thought there was something going on between my computer and the water heater, and now I’m pretty sure my printer is also in on this. My printer already had me on alert because it always has a little hissy-fit before it actually prints. As a result of all this, I am concerned about my computer’s reliability. So every once in a while, I test my e-mail by sending a message titled TEST. The other morning, instead of TEST, I simply typed my name: DICK WOLFSIE. Then I sent it to myself—or at least I thought I did. By mistake, I also sent it to 300 people on my newspaper column e-mail list. When these folks opened the e-mail, all it said was DICK WOLFSIE. Here’s what some folks had to say in response: (The screen names have been changed to

protect the not-so-funny.) BARMAN (my nephew): Hey, Uncle Dick. Funny stuff. The best you’ve written. YO926: Thanks for sending me your name. I used it all day today. I’m sending it back. Not getting a good response. TOOCUTE: I don’t get it. And I’ve read it three times. M78STUD: Hey, Dick. Thanks for sending me your name. I’ve sent it to 500 lawyers with a note that some rich guy rear-ended you in his Lexus. BRUCE: Not one of your best columns, Dick. No plot and only one weak character. GOGIRLJANE: Well written. Thank goodness for spell-check. UPSI: Please take me off your e-mail list. I have a 10-year-old. MAMAW (my sister): That’s nice. Does that count as a phone call? I’m not really sure how to end this column. Let’s just say that if I should ever send you my name again via e-mail, please treat it with some reverence. It’s more than 65 years old and deserves a little respect. And feel free to send me your name. I look forward to reading it.

Huey Lewis & the News to grace Palladium stage

By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com Anyone having flashbacks about life in the 1980s surely will have an accompanying mental soundtrack filled with songs by music Huey Lewis & the News playing right along. They were virtually synonymous with the time – their music could be heard all over the radio, in movie soundtracks and even on the fledgling MTV station. But time never stopped ticking for the nation or the band, which has continued to fill concert halls and record music ever since. Now Huey Lewis & the News is ready to return to our consciousness again with a concert at Palladium in Carmel on June 11. The band, entering its 35th year together, is most known for 80’s rock hits “Back in Time” and “The Power of Love,” both featured in the iconic movie “Back to the Future.” But the new set list is sure to include songs like “Workin’ for a Livin’” and “Hip to be Square.” In an exclusive interview with Current, Lewis took the time to tell people what to expect. “Everyone loves the hits of course, but we try to mix it up a bit and play some different stuff to keep it fresh,” he said. “I’ve also changed the

style of my shirt at least twice now!” Formed from two San Francisco Bay-area bands that often acted as rivals in 1979, the News went on to create a uniquely ’80s sound, by combining R&B and soul with a rock influence and the indelible saxophone section. Lewis developed a love of music early on and began playing the harmonica at the age of 13. After graduating boarding school, he hitchhiked through Western Europe for a year while playing his music. His former band, Clover, played three to four sets a night for five or more nights a week for six years before being signed by Phonogram Records in London. It wasn’t until Clover’s disbandment that Lewis moved to San Francisco. In 1977, he began forming what would become the News, which released their first record in 1980. Lewis said he considers himself a showman, and he has acted on Broadway, filmed the 2000 movie “Duets” with Gwenyth Paltrow and has even guest-starred on the TV Land sitcom “Hot in Cleveland.” But the spontaneous nature of the stage is where he keeps returning. “In the old days, music performances were live and used to be captured on record,” Lewis said. “Now performances tend to be created

- pieced together. The waistlines have also changed a little since the ’80s!” The band loves to play for every type of crowd, certainly an indicator of each member’s modest origins. “I’ve never really thought of Huey Lewis & The News as an ’80s band, but people do like to categorize,” Lewis said. “We love to play for the fans everywhere. You never know what you might find on any given night.” Saxophonist and founding member Johnny Colla developed his chops in the San Francisco music scene for years, inspired and drawn in by the 1960s “Summer of Love” movement. And he said he remains driven by a fervent News fanbase. “Sure, we’re the Tony Bennetts of our generation,” Colla said in a statement. “But it’s not such a bad way to go. I can think of worse jobs.” As a band that has stood the test of time, Lewis believes there’s one thing that fans might not anticipate. “We all still like each other!” Lewis said.

Porsches cruising through town

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Car lovers and fashion enthusiasts are uniting for this year’s CruZionsville Porsche show on June 14, when the Central Indiana cars Region Porsche Club of America hosts its fourth annual Porsche event on Main Street. “It’s a lot of nice people doing a lot of nice things to make this happen,” said founder of the CruZionsville show and Zionsville resident Steve Tarr. All proceeds of the event will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association of America. Last year the event raised $12,800 for Alzheimer’s research. The goal for this year is $25,000. “It’s just a great event,” said Amy Lacy, a Zionsville resident who is also active in raising money for Alzheimer’s research. Tarr named the event CruZionsville, which means the cars are “cruising” through town.

At 10 a.m. the day of the event, more than 125 cars will cruise from Zionsville Meadows, down Oak Street, and then park along Main Street. The free car show will end at 3 p.m. Some of the cars in attendance include historic Porsches. Members of the Porsche club will also be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911. Only two of these 911 Porsches are in the state of Indiana, and one will be in Zionsville for the show. Tarr said that the event is about bringing people together, and exposing Zionsville to the rest of the state. He has even had assistance from the Boone County Covention Visitors Bureau. “It’s really not about how new your car is,” Tarr said. Also during the day, there will be events for kids, a fashion show directed by local fashionista Nikki Blaine, and a food eating competition. “We’ve got some beautiful cars coming,” Tarr said. “But there will be something for everyone.”

For $10, people will get a map for a self-guided tour of gardens and porches of 12 homes (up from eight last year) in Carmel’s historic Old Town area. The event is 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 14. Maps are available outside the Monon Depot Museum on the Monon Trail. “We were looking for other opportunities to engage the Old Town district and be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. We were amazed at the response to it last year. People seemed to love it and thought we needed to do it each year,” said Carmel Historical Society board mem-

And you can take a walk on a nice afternoon in June.” The map shows the gardens and porches of the homes on the tour, with each marked with a sign and the Historical Society’s logo in the front yard. “It lets you explore people’s private garden plots and check out their front porch,” Keiser said. “The homeowners are there and like to talk to people about what they have done.

Young actors take center stage

By Jessica Fox • jessica@currentincarmel.com

“What does a parent have to do to be a good parent?” That’s the question that Geptheatre petto will have to answer in the Junior Civic’s production of “My Son, Pinocchio Jr.” The performance offers an alternate perspective on the classic Disney fairy tale about a puppet hoping to become a real boy. According to the performance’s director, Brent Marty, the musical is a twist on the original “Pinocchio.” This musical is told from the point of view of Geppetto, Pinocchio’s father. The musical will include a student ensemble and a live orchestra. The Junior Civic program gives children ages 7 to 14 the opportunity to perform in a professional setting. Marty said they come away from the experience seeing the whole production professionally put together. The “My Son, Pinocchio Jr.” musical is just a part of the education Civic offers to students at the Tarkington Theatre. The Tarkington offers classes as well as a vocal camp during the summer months. Vocal Director Trevor Fanning began directing the theater’s chorus in 2007. His job is to help the students memorize lyrics and work the songs into the performance. Instead of working the songs and the script in different segments, the students practice their vocals during each performance. This musical will include both traditional and new music. Traditional songs include Disney’s “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings.” Stephen Schwartz, the composer and lyricist of the musical “Wicked,” wrote the remainder of the show’s music. The students are still in the process of putting everything together, but the directors know it will all come together in the end. There are no small parts in this musical, and everyone’s roles are equally important to the production. According to Marty, “Watching the students learn the process of producing a play (is the best part of directing).”

The young actors of the Junior Civic program will provide a new take on the classical Disney story when they perform “My Son, Pinocchio Jr.” (Submitted photo by Zach Rosing)

The students singing in the ensemble are just as excited for the performance as the director. While most the students have had previous acting experience, each of the students still remains enthusiastic for their chance in the spotlight. “It will be a great show with talented directors, choreography, kids and amazing songs,” said 11-year-old Ethan Gold, a student at West Clay Elementary. Ethan has been in two other Junior Civic productions including “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Once Upon a Shoe.” The rest of the students seem to share in his enthusiasm. “It’s going to be a great show. It’s funny and entertaining,” said 13-year-old Megan McCabe, a student at Noblesville East Middle School. “I really love musical theatre… it’s fun to watch and it’s cool,” said 11-year-old Amelie Zirnheld, a student at Schneider Academy. “My Son, Pinocchio Jr.” • A production by the Junior Civic program • 7 p.m. June 13; 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. June 14; and 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. June 16 through June 18 • The Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • Tickets start at $15 • For more information call 923-4597 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

Recipe: Lamb with Spring Veggies and Orzo

Behind Bars: Chocolate Martini Bartender: Vickie Lenk at Moon Dog Tavern, 4825 E. 96th St., Indianapolis

Ingredients: 1 pound of lamb roast, cut in 2-inch cubes; 1/2 bottle of red wine; 1/2 cup olive oil; Fresh oregano, thyme and rosemary; Tender baby kale or baby spinach, torn into bite sized pieces; 1 bunch of asparagus; 1 cup of grape tomatoes, sliced; 4 ounces of feta or goat cheese; 1/2 pound of orzo; 2 cups beef broth Directions: Marinate lamb cubes in a large Ziploc bag with the wine, olive oil and herbs. Add fresh cracked black pepper. Refrigerate at least one hour or overnight. Skewer and cook over a med flame until a pink center/med rare. Add oregano and thyme to broth and cook orzo according to package directions. At the last 2 minutes, add the asparagus. Drain & set aside. Orzo can be served warm or room temperature. Toss baby kale, sliced tomatoes and cheese into cooked orzo, place meat on top and sprinkle cheese on top. Both feta and goat cheese will taste fresher if you buy the block style. The pre-crumbled forms, while easier, have a desiccant coating that mask their true flavors. It is easy enough to use a fork to flake the cheese on top. Mangia!

Ingredients and directions: First, drizzle chocolate syrup in a martini glass. Mix 1 1/3 ounces Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur, 1 1/3 ounces Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur and 1 1/3 ounces Absolute Vanilla in a shaker and pour the contents in the glass.

Questions to ask a financial advisor Commentary by Adam Cmejla

Evaluating and hiring a financial advisor to serve you and your family and handle your financial affairs is a very big finance decision and one that should be decided with much due diligence and intention. The next two columns, I’ll go over some questions that can be used as a guide when interviewing potential advisors to serve your family. How did you find the advisor? Think about how the advisor came into your life. Was it through an advertisement in a publication or direct mail piece? Did you accept an invitation to a free dinner and sit through an educational workshop? Was it through a referral from a trusted friend or colleague that has an existing relationship with the advisor? Direct mail and workshops are not bad, but just know that there›s a reason that the advisor is hosting workshops or buying advertising spots. Is it to sell you something or is it truly educational in nature? Why is that person in the business? This is an important question that I think every advisor should know to their core and every client should know about their advisor. In my opinion, understanding the “why” of this business is just as important as the “how.” What is their intention in working with clients? Being clear on who they are and how they serve their clients can be a good indication on what to expect. What professional designations do they have? According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the self-regulated, not-for-profit organization authorized by Congress to protect American investors, there are 153 – count them, 153 – different designations that advisors can obtain to put after their name. The important thing to understand about these designations

is the varying level of mastery that›s required to obtain them. By searching the list at www. finra.org, you can learn all about any designation that your advisor may have after their name. A CFP practitioner (certified financial planner) is considered by many as one of a few pinnacle designations in our industry and which requires experience prerequisites, extensive studying and demonstrated mastery of the subject material. (Full disclosure: I am not a CFP practitioner, but I am currently studying through the materials and plan to sit for the national board exams in November 2014). How have they furthered their education? Many people don’t know that the barrier for entry in our profession is relatively low, and that’s in part due to the high attrition that occurs in our industry. Get the green light from a firm, study for a couple weeks or months for a few national securities licenses (which, by the way, are still written and governed by laws written in 1933, 1933 and 1940), and POOF – you’re now a financial advisor legally licensed to dispense financial advice to the general public. The same is true for life and health insurance licenses, which are needed to offer other financial vehicles such as annuities and life insurance. Make sure to ask the right questions about how long they’ve been in this business, what they’ve done to hone their craft, and if they’re new in the business, who else you’ll be working with to ensure that you’re working with a qualified team. Being prepared with questions can help you make an intelligent and informed decision when looking to hire a financial professional.

DISPATCHES Securities rating lawsuit headed to Indiana courts - Standard & Poor’s suffered a defeat last week in litigation accusing it of inflating credit ratings prior to the 2008 financial crisis, as a federal judge ruled that lawsuits by 16 U.S. states – including Indiana – and Washington, D.C., belong in state courts, not federal court. The states accused S&P of fraudulently inflating ratings on structured finance securities to win more business from issuers, while representing that its ratings were objective and not tainted by conflicts of interest. Many of the challenged ratings were for collateralized debt obligations and other mortgagebacked securities whose value plunged during the nation’s housing and credit crises. Most of the lawsuits were filed in February 2013, when the U.S. Department of Justice filed its own $5 billion lawsuit against S&P in a California federal court where it is still pending.

Value funds are beating growth-stock funds - If history is a guide, 2014 could be the year of the value fund. Valuestock funds have beaten the returns of their growth-stock rivals so far this year, powered by a sharp fall in some growth stocks in March and April. While growth funds recovered some of their March and April losses in May, investors’ renewed focus on valuation has persisted, market watchers say. Strategists say such dramatic changes in investor sentiment and market leadership often last a year or more.

The kids have been waiting for this all year … summer is here! Honestly, I have been waiting too! I love summer and love fitness planning what activities we can do. However with a family of five it can be difficult to please everyone. So I have a suggestion that will help families have lots of healthy fun while including everyone in the planning process. Create your own Family Summer Bingo Board. It can be as large as you want it, 10 spots, 20 or maybe even 30. Now fill that board up with healthy challenges for the family to complete during June, July and August. Let everyone participate in choosing the activities. For example, for active spots, list hiking at Fort Benjamin Harrison, getting wet at the splash pad at Billericay Park or a bike ride after dinner. For healthy food challenges, create spots to try a new summer salad, go for a picnic at Holland Park or pick strawberries at a one of the local farms. Reading is good for our brain fitness, so create a board spot for participating in the Fishers Library Summer Reading Program. If you want ideas for home, fill a spot with sprinkler fun in

the afternoon or cooking dinner together for some quality family time. The possibilities are endless. Once your board is full of all of your family’s ideas for healthy activities for the summer, hang it up somewhere visible and start highlighting or crossing off activities as you complete them. You can even plan a reward like a family outing to the zoo or a museum trip at the end of the summer if all challenges get completed. I have many clients tell me they want to influence their kids to be healthy. My answer every time is your kids will be influenced by what you do not by what you say. Not every activity as to involve mom and dad, but try to make most of them family friendly. Maybe you even challenge another family to compete to see who can complete their board first. Take the challenge, create a family health bingo board and the whole family will stay healthy and happy throughout the summer months! Kathleen M.

Adalaj Stepwell near Ahmedabad (Photo by Don Knebel)

India’s ‘stepwells’ underground Commentary by Don Knebel Visitors to India are accustomed to looking up for the achievements of Indian architects. But uniquely Indian structures Travel called “stepwells” lie below the surface and are as fascinating as tombs and temples. One of the most famous also comes with a classic Indian love story. Weather on the Indian subcontinent is characterized by periods of intense rain followed by long periods of drought. Because the soil is usually not suitable for reservoirs, Indians in the fifth century began building structures with hollow stone shafts extending up to 50 feet below the surface. Steps led from the surface to the shaft’s bottom, with periodic landings allowing people to congregate on various levels. When the rains came, the structure filled with water and people drew water and bathed near the top. As water was consumed, people descended the steps until they reached the water level. Because Hindus believe waters create a boundary between earth and heaven, representations of gods and other religious symbols on the landings enabled people to engage in underground religious ceremonies surrounded by water. The Adalaj stepwell near Ahmedabad, Gujarat,

is one of the most famous, both for its design and the story of its origins. According to Sanskrit writings on a marble slab near the bottom, the Adalaj stepwell was begun by a Hindu king named Veer Singh who was killed in battle by a Muslim leader named Mohammed Begda. Begda took over the kingdom and pined for the king’s widow, the beautiful Roopba. Roopba promised Begda she would marry him but only if he first completed her husband’s stepwell. Begda completed the project in 1499, with an octagonal shaft lavishly covered with both Hindu and Islamic images extending five stories below the surface. With Roopba’s goal of honoring her husband accomplished, she then jumped to her death in the shaft. India’s stepwells were abandoned when the English declared them unsanitary, but many have been restored. The next time you get to India, look down after you have seen the Taj Mahal and the famous temples. Not all stepwells come with a legendary story, but all reflect the ingenuity of Indian architects.

Why ‘canceled’ has one ‘L?’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Grammar Guy: I’ve noticed that words like ‘cancel’ and ‘travel’ only have one ‘L’ when the ‘-ed’ suffix is added to grammar guy them, but other words like ‘stopped’ and ‘dropped’ double the final consonant for a suffix. How do you know when to do one, and when to do the other?” Answer: Learning when to double the final consonant can be a tricky thing for non-native English speakers (and native speakers, too). Fortunately, there are a few general rules you can follow almost all of the time. Rule No. 1: Double the final consonant in a one-syllable word that ends in a single consonant when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel. For example, “trap” becomes “trapping,” rather than “traping;” “bar” becomes “barring;” “sit” becomes “sitting;” etc. An exception to this rule is one-syllable words with a long vowel sound (i.e. “sleep” becomes “sleeping,” rather than “sleepping.). Rule No. 2: In a multi-syllable word, double the final consonant if the last syllable is stressed. Examples include “referring,” “committed” and “admitting.” An exception is words

where two vowels come before the final consonant, like “contain” or “bespeak.” Rule No. 3: In American English, verbs ending in a vowel + “L” are not doubled when a suffix beginning with a vowel is added. Examples include “traveling,” “canceling,” “fueling,” “dueling,” etc. In British English, the “L” would be doubled. Worth noting here: While a single “L” is the “American” spelling of words like “canceling,” the British version “cancelling” is still grammatically correct and acceptable. You will get flak from American editors about it, however. This is a subject where there are more rules than I can cover in a single column. You probably learned most of them in school (words that end in “Y,” words that end in “E,” etc.), so hopefully these three rules augment the knowledge you already have. And if you really want to spell “canceled” the British way, I suppose it’s fine … although you may be stepping into an intercontinental grammar grudge match.

Covered porch gives family its backyard back, adds visual interest Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

ORIGINAL BACKYARD: This home, located in the Centennial subdivision in Westfield, was built in 2009. Despite the blueprint for original concrete patio improvement being large enough to accommodate an outdoor dining set and grill, the hot summers made it difficult for the homeowners to enjoy outdoor activities. Adding shade, functionality and unique design elements were the main goals of the project. COVERED VS SCREENED-IN-PORCH: At the beginning of the design phase, the homeowners were faced with the decision to choose between a covered or screened-in-porch. “With a large family, we needed our outdoor space to be unique, open and functional. We knew having an enclosed porch would not work. We ended up choosing an open porch so the kids and dogs can freely move in and out of the house without being trapped by screened-in walls and doors.” DESIGN DETAILS: A brushed concrete patio slab was installed complete with a rounded step for the patio door and a dedicated 3’x6’ area for the grill. Decorative 6”x6” cedar posts were installed around the perimeter of the concrete patio to support the new porch roof. Matching shingles and gutters were installed. UPGRADED FINISHES: To give the homeowners their requested unique touches, a decorative

RESULT: In the end, the homeowners were thrilled with how the covered porch also adds visual interest to the exterior of the home. “The best part of the whole addition is finally having a shaded area that our entire family can enjoy during the warmer months.”

half wall was added next to the grilling pad including a granite wall cap. All supporting posts and new decorative trim were painted to match the home’s existing trim color. To complete the final look, white base trim and cedar corbels were added to each supporting post. Additional upgrades included a painted bead board ceiling and an extended mount ceiling fan.
