Fate of Fishers landmark uncertain By Beth Clark • news@currentinfishers.com The two-story brick farmhouse commonly referred to as the Kincaid House situated at the corner of 106th Street and Kincaid Drive near Preservation I-69, was quietly and unceremoniously slated for demolition to take place June 9. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of dedicated preservationists in the area who at the eleventh hour were alerted to its impending demolition, the Kincaid House is safe for now from the rubble heap. The development group that owns the house, Thompson Thrift Development recognizes the historical significance of the house and has agreed to halt demolition for the time being to discuss options for its preservation. Two representatives from Thompson Thrift met June 16 with members and representatives of the Noblesville Preservation Alliance, Hamilton County Tourism, the Hamilton County Historical Society, and Fishers Historic Ambassador House. Mark Dollase, Indiana Landmarks Vice President, was also present at the meeting at Fishers Town Hall, which was led by Fishers’ Director of Community Development Tom Dickey to determine the fate of the Kincaid House. The Kincaid House, an Italianate-style, solid brick building, was built in 1861 on land originally granted in 1834 to two of Hamilton County’s earliest settlers, Douglas Cady and Thomas Morris. By the mid-19th century the land belonged to the Flanegan family, who constructed the Civil-War era house. The house was purchased in 1934 by the Kincaid family, owners of the property until it was acquired by Thompson Thrift in 2013. According to information from Dan Kincaid, the final Kincaid family owner, the house was built with bricks dug and formed from clay on the farm and fired on site. The exterior and interior walls of the house are 13 inches thick. The structure is sound, but because the home sat vacant and unguarded for a number of years, it has been heavily damaged by vandals, who have stripped the interior of almost everything including doors, doorknobs, and even flooring. Ashlee Boyd, Senior Vice President of Thompson Thrift Development stated that the company intends to build a multi-use development on the current site of the Kincaid House consisting primarily of office and retail space. This development will take advantage of the new I-69 interchange coming soon to 106th Street. Boyd, who lives in Fishers, and Thompson Thrift are supportive of efforts to save the Kincaid House, with

the hope that the home can be relocated in Fishers, rehabilitated and opened for public or private use. Boyd did not rule out the possibility that the house might be incorporated into new design plans for the area. Boyd even affirmed Thompson Thrift’s commitment to donating a sum of money toward the home’s rehabilitation, as long as the parameters are in place to develop a vision and final home for the property, Boyd said. Developing that vision was exactly what Monday’s meeting in Town Hall was all about. Dorothy Young, representing the Board of the Hamilton County Historical Society, was heartened by apparent good will from all sides. “It was great that everyone had an ear to listen to others’ points of view. I think it is important to stress to all parties that the fate of the house doesn’t necessarily have to be an either-or situation – either it’s demolished or it’s moved. Historical structures can be incorporated in new development,” Young said. If, however, the Kincaid House must be relocated to preserve it, the Town of Fishers is dedicated to working with interested parties and individuals to find a new home for the structure. Raising funds for the relocation and preservation of the building, in addition to determining its use and sustainability, are the challenges that lie ahead for those interested in avoiding its demolition. A second meeting is scheduled to continue the discussion of saving the Kincaid House. All concerned for its fate will have to wait for further word, or they can lend their voice and support for this Fishers landmark by contacting Beth Clark at bethm@ambassadorhouse. org.

DISPATCHES Fishers team wins Spirit award – When Michael Gaines was named coach of the girls basketball team at the newly-established Fishers High School in 2006, he knew that his role would extend far beyond the court. With that in mind, he established the team with a focus on spiritual and mental strength, citizenship and character. The team has developed a strong commitment to community service and, as a result, has received the monthly Spirit of Sport Award from St.Vincent Sports Performance.

Like its 2007 predecessor, “300: Rise of an Empire” is lusty parade of six-pack abs and copious bloodlettings, set against a historical backdrop that’s been washed through the spin cycle of modern fantasy tropes. It has all the violence of the last movie, though no equally compelling figure like Gerard Butler’s commanding Leonidas, and certainly none of the verve and wit.

There are more bicyclists on the street than there used to be. On the surface, columnist Mike Redmond thinks this is a good thing – less pollution and a healthier populace. However, beneath the surface lurks a problem with all these two-wheelers on the road, and he have a bone to pick with bicyclists … namely, if they don’t start paying attention to the traffic laws, he’ll be picking their bones out of his truck grille.

More alike than different
$10 OFF ANY SINGLE $60 PURCHASE
By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com Like many sisters, Alex and Cailin Touseull enjoy spending time together after a day of classes at HSEHS. They go to movies and family dance parties, shop, and hang out with their friends. The only difference between them is that Alex happens to have a disability. Twenty years ago, after having had a normal pregnancy, the Touseulls’ mother, Angela, discovered that she had given birth to a baby girl with Down syndrome. Although the diagnosis was a surprise, the family quickly learned that children with Down syndrome vs. those who do not have more similarities than differences. “Alex does what anyone else can without a disability,” Calilin, 17, said. “I can relate to her, and she can relate to me. She’s very mature for her age.” Mari Kennedy and her Fishers family also have a child, Ryan, 12, with Down syndrome. Their daily routines are much like any other suburban clan. “We take my son to swimming and music lessons and all the other after-school life just as we did my daughter,” Mari said. “Ryan has his chores.” Angela and Mari are active with Down Syndrome Indiana and are also preparing for the upcoming National Down Syndrome Congress Convention, to be conducted in Indianapolis for the first time this year. Founded in 1973, the National Down Syndrome Congress is the country’s oldest national organization for people with Down syndrome, their families and the professionals who work with them. The NDSC offers free information about Down syndrome issues for all ages, in addition to matters of public policy relating to disability rights. The public awareness campaign for NDSC is, “We’re More Alike than Different.” The NDSC is committed to creating a national climate in which all people will recognize and embrace the value and dignity of people with Down syndrome. The three-day convention, conducted July 11-13 at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis, is dubbed “the world’s largest family reunion,” according to the website, convention.ndsccenter. org, and offers a wide range of workshops to choose from and activities for children, in addition to a group outing to an Indians game and a

Fishers on Tap is now the biggest event of the year for the Rotary Club of Fishers. It is conducted in winter and in summer fundraiser with the latest event being conducted June 14 at the Nickel Plate Amphitheater. The weather was perfect and the turnout was great according to chairman Bill Jerrow. “We were able to increase attendance to 560 representing a 20 percent increase from our inaugural year last year. This event is supported by the Town of Fishers at which they donate many services and labor hours to the event,” he said. There were also a record number of brew-
ers attending – 19 total. Jerrow said the Rotary expects to net approximately $12,000 from Fishers on Tap which will all be donated back to the community through the Rotary’s bi-annual donation review process. “Most recently funds earned from previous Fishers On Tap fundraisers were donated in the form of college scholarships to students from HSE and FHS,” Jerrow said. Six scholarships at $750 each for a total of $4,500 was awarded at a recent Rotary meeting. Since inception in 2012, Fishers On Tap has raised more than $58,000 with all of it returned to the Fishers community in the form of scholarships to students and donations to numerous service organizations.

Shelter’s full capacity prompts need for fostering, possible new facility By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Despite her problems, Jade is a happy dog. She might not have any teeth, but she still has a big smile. pets This black pit bull had her teeth pulled out by her previous owner when they forced her to breed. She’s covered with scars from past injuries and very large tumors. Despite her traumatic life, she absolutely loves people and sniffs anybody that passes by. But Jade is afraid of other dogs, so she spends her days in the office of Rebecca Stevens, executive director of the Humane Society for Hamilton County. That’s because there’s literally no other space for this sick dog. And this isn’t a unique situation. The shelter – the only one for the entire county – is extremely full. One cat that has leukemia lives in their conference room. The problem is compounded by the fact that there’s no area to quarantine sick or contagious animals. Take a tour and people will see there’s no wasted space. “There’s an animal everywhere,” Stevens said. “We are dealing with a lot of serious challenges in a lot of areas, but we are trying to overcome them to the best of our abilities and save these lives.” The Human Society for Hamilton County still is committed to remaining a no-kill shelter, which means they only euthanize pets in extreme situ-

ations. They don’t turn away any intakes, even if the shelter doesn’t have room. As a result, there’s a huge reliance on using foster homes for nearly half the dogs and cats in their care. At their May board meeting, there was talk about fundraising for a new larger facility. There have been no public announcements, but they are looking to launch a capital campaign to raise up to $7 million. At the end of May, there were 219 cats in the shelter’s care, 101 in foster homes and 113 dogs in their care, 32 in foster homes.

The animals are dealing with upper respiratory infections and eye infections because the pets are kept in such close quarters that it’s difficult to avoid spreading illnesses. As a result, the shelter spends more than $100,000 on medical care, a cost that is entirely paid for through private donations and not from taxpayer money. Stevens said foster homes are an absolute necessity to remain no-kill and open admission, but it can be hard to recruit new people. There are so many roadblocks. Some people are afraid they will get too at-

tached and won’t be able to give up the pet. Some dogs and cats have special needs, such as problems with other animals. And of course there are many misconceptions, such as cost. But the shelter pays for any expenses such as medical care, crates, food and even kitty litter. “It doesn’t cost you any money or a lot of your time. All you need to provide is love,” Paula Fuccillo said. Fundraising for the future Stevens said one common misconception is that the county pays for all of the shelter’s costs. In reality, taxpayer dollars only cover the first seven days that an animal is in the shelter. From then on, all of the rest of the financial support comes from private donations. If a dog is hit by a car, the entirety of that cost is privately funded. As a result, the Humane Society is always looking for new donors. The cost per animal averages out to be about $8.50 per day. Because there are so many costs, most of the donations go toward basic needs. The hardest challenge will be raising money for a new shelter and the biggest help would be finding someone to donate land for the approximately 20,000 square-foot facility.

A tale of two markets Commentary by Lori Goldsby Fishers is consistently ranked as one of the best little towns in which to live. Our “little” town has all of the farmer’s market amenities, plus we have two farmer’s markets. Many of us regularly frequent the larger market on our town green but the smaller market at Saxony is well worth working into your rotation. The Saxony Farmer’s Market (off Olio Road and 131st Street) has a bit of a “country fair” or peddler’s market vibe. There are the requisite Amish and Mennonite farmers with your fresh berries, lettuces and veggies as well as several artists and craftsmen that have nice items that would make a great hostess gift for that summer BBQ or pool party! Bug Out Art is a local McCordsville artist that recycles wine bottles by fusing them and turning them into chip and dip trays, serving platters and spoon rests. Frayed Edges is a booth with “a little bit of everything” for summer birthday and entertaining gifts. And if you leave Fido at home (but you don’t have to!) get him a treat at Piggalous. Today I’m creating a twist on the strawberry shortcake, “Chocolate Velvet Shortcake Sliders”. The great thing about this recipe is they’re tiny, so you don’t feel bad about eating one, and you just might talk yourself into eating two! Enjoy! Chocolate Velvet Shortcake Sliders Ingredients: 2 pints strawberries, 1/4 cup

sugar, 1 2/3 cup flour, 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, baking powder and baking soda, 1 stick of cold butter, cubed, 1 egg, 2/3 cup buttermilk, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 3 teaspoon sugar Directions: Preheat oven to 425 and put mixing bowl/beaters in freezer to chill. Macerate strawberries by slicing, add 1/2 cup water and the 1/4 cup of sugar, refrigerate. Sift dry ingredients, cut in cubes of butter until it resembles sand. Create a “well” and mix in the buttermilk and egg with a fork. Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment paper lined sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes. Whip cream with sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Split slider, add berries and whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate syrup or fresh mint. Lori Goldsby is a local caterer and food writer.

There are two aspects to child custody. The first is legal. Legal custody refers to the ability to have input on medical, educational, and religious issues pertaining to a child’s upbringing. Joint legal custody is appropriate in most cases unless there is a significant breakdown in communication between the parties. Generally, as long as the parents are able to communicate and cooperate with one another on decisions involving the child(ren) without a high level of conflict, joint legal custody will be ordered and the parents are required to consult one another before making any of these “major decisions.” The second aspect of custody is physical custody, which is much more often the subject of dispute. Simply stated, physical custody refers to where the children spend their time. As an initial matter, parents may create a unique schedule which satisfies the needs of their children and each other. Often, however, developing a parenting time schedule can be very challenging. When parties are unable to agree, the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provide a parenting time schedule that gradually increases as the children age, provides for a division of holidays, and time with the children should one parent live a significant distance from the children’s primary residence. It should be noted, though, that the Guidelines represent a minimum amount of reasonable parenting time to be afforded to the non-custodial parent. Many Indiana Courts commonly award an involved, non-custodial parent parenting time in excess of the schedule provided in the Guidelines.
People often feel the need to “have their day in court,” believing that if the judge hears “their side of the story” the custody order will be in their favor. However, in evaluating whether to ask a judge to make a ruling on custody and parenting time, the parties would be well advised to keep in mind that time in court is limited, and it is difficult to present all of the information believed to be important. A judge often only has fifteen-thirty (15-30) minutes to hear evidence. This is not to say that such conflicts which arise should not be litigated. However, once you proceed to court, the final decision is out of your hands. If parties are unable to reach an agreement, Indiana Courts will focus on the “best interest of the children” and in doing so will consider a number of factors in determining an appropriate custodial and parenting time arrangement. These factors include, but are not limited to, which parent has served as the primary caregiver; the child’s age and sex; the wishes of the child and the parties; the child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, and others; the child’s adjustment to their home, school, and community; and the mental and physical health of all involved. There are a number of benefits to reaching an out-of-court agreement, including but not limited to, allowance for non-traditional work schedules and flexibility for holidays. When parties are able to communicate and cooperate on these matters, it is a win-win for all involved.

Builder’s Grade. If one more person who comes to our house for the problem du jour and plain talk explains that issue with “well, that’s builder’s grade,” my head will likely explode. Sinks rusted out? I know now that I have metal sinks with some coating to thank for leaking. Sure, I will replace those with porcelain sinks, because I think things should last a little longer in something I like to call “my home.” And my husband will do that work because he rocks, and You Tube is surprisingly educational. Leaky faucets? Sure, let’s replace those too with something that has a name of the brand on the faucet. If I made something, and I make lots of things, I put my name on it, so people know it can be trusted. Apparently, not everyone thinks like me and this way of thinking seems to be contracting in our day and age. Wow, that last sentence made me sound like my father. Toilet problems? I have been dying to get something far better to sit on for those precious five minutes of silence I get a day. Let’s replace those too, because, in the infamous words of the plumber, “well, that toilet right there, that’s builder grade.” Queue the YouTube, please! We have toilets to replace!
When did the art and craft of building a house become anything less than an art or a craft? Those walls will watch people grow, the halls will fill with memories and the carpet will likely have a tear or three shed on them from a game of tag gone horribly wrong. This house is going to be someone’s home. Someone might take their first breath in this house, or their last. This house requires a foundation built to last the years of memories that will fill it. Building someone’s home is an amazing job because the builders – the people who are here before anyone moves in – will build a safe haven, a quiet retreat from the storms of the world. I wish I had the skills of these talented men and women. But I don’t, so I – and many others like me – have to rely on those who are artists and craftsmen skilled in the labor of homebuilding.

A new city with a new budget Commentary by Larry Lannan
The local government budgeting process is normally a fairly routine affair. In Fishers this year, the town council is about to undergo a budget process that will government be anything but routine. Fishers will become a city on Jan. 1, 2015. The city will have an annual budget in place at that time. The new city will be operating under a 2015 spending plan passed by the Fishers Town Council. This is one of the quirks of transitioning from a town to a city. The Fishers Town Council will begin discussions on the 2015 budget in late June or early July, according to Town Manager Scott Fadness. “There will be some changes in regard to the budget in anticipation of the transition (to a city), but they have yet to been hammered out,” Fadness said. He also said the basic process of budgeting “will stay the same.” One of the major decisions made at budget time deals with how much money the municipal staff will be paid. Fishers currently has no mayor. The town council will be setting the salary level for the new mayor that takes office in 2015. The town council will also be setting the salary levels of the mayor’s staff and the remainder of the town employees. Rank and file workers for
Fishers will not be impacted much by the move from a town to a city, but what about the top managers? The new mayor will have a city organization created by the Fishers Town Council in its 2014 budget process. The pay for his staff and department heads, including the number of people on his staff in 2015, will be decided by the town council this year. Scott Fadness, as the Republican nominee for Mayor of Fishers, is the clear favorite to assume that office on January 1, 2015. Keep in mind that Fadness is an employee of the town council the remainder of this year as the town manager and has no vote on the 2015 Fishers City budget. Yes, budgets can be boring and the numbers can glaze the eyes of the most experienced accountant. But spending priorities say a lot about what our elected officials think about government and where tax money should and should not be spent. Budgets are not easy but they are important. As citizens of Fishers, I urge you to follow the budget process this year in Fishers.

One of the biggest events in the Indianapolis area will likely draw an estimated 50,000 people this year, making it one of the most iconic festivals in the region. cover story “Coming to our events, almost everything is free and we work very hard to keep it that way,” said Jennifer Kehl, executive director of the festival. Embracing the community of Fishers and maintaining equal opportunities to all who arrive are two goals the festival works hard to achieve, she says, and keeping it free of charge is a job Kehl does not take lightly. “That is one of our main goals, that no matter what your income level everyone can come out and have the exact same experience,” she said. The festival relies heavily on its volunteers. Kehl has approximately 40 people who act as area managers. A volunteer of the year from Hamilton County is named at each festival. Last year, Ed Pierce won the award. More than 200 volunteers help during the event, the days leading up to it and the Monday following the festival. Some of the volunteers include: Fishers high school and middle school students, D.A.R.E. members, church groups, the Kiwanis Club, and members of the community. Don Dragoo, president of the festival’s board has volunteered since the beginning, starting out as the overseer of trash clean-up the year the festival was born. “It’s having people come and get together to create something that the rest of the residents in the community can benefit and enjoy,” Dragoo said of his reasons for volunteering. Two of the most memorable portions of the festival are its parade, which corrals roughly five thousand people onto the streets of Fishers and its fireworks show, which people view from all over

The 20-minute show includes a personalized Fishers firework at the very end followed by an American Flag design.

run solely off donations. “It’s all us, we are our own nonprofit that provides service to the town,” Kehl said. The festival encourages everyone who attends to bring a canned food item for local food pantries or articles for its school supply drive. Donation stations will be open both days. Items needed are listed in the festival’s guide. Several fundraisers are conducted throughout the year to raise money for the festival. Oktoberfest, which is conducted in September and the Freedom Festival’s Craft Show bring in funding to pay for the event. With the popularity of the festival as great as ever and over a third of attendees coming from outside of Hamilton County, Kehl holds tight to the small town feeling the festival brings to Fishers. “We want to give them something they will remember for the rest of their lives,” she said. “It brings families together as well as friends and neighbors to celebrate our independence and the

Town of Fishers with community spirit.” Impacting the lives of children is what Kehl personally feels the festival is all about. She recalls, in particular, a boy who started volunteering in junior high and today, years later, has completed graduate school and lives in California. “Every year his mother finds me and makes a point to thank me for what the committee does for the community, it really means a lot that she comes and does that,” Kehl said. In addition to its entertainment selections, the festival is excited to add two new attractions this year, a 240foot zip line along with a photo booth from Viral Booth Indianapolis. The event, commemorating the Beauty of Fishers and American Independence will take place on Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29 at Roy G. Holland Memorial Park.

In all seriousness, mammograms are important
FR O M T H E BACKSHOP The Hillary Show is well on its way Well, its deja vu all over again. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is out pushing her latest book (fiction or non-fiction, depending on which end of the political spectrum one resides) as she readies for another run for president. It’s going to be exhausting. All the old ghosts will rear their ugly heads including, but not limited to, Whitewater, Benghazi and Sandy Burger (You may remember him as “Sandy Burglar,” the former White House national security adviser under Bill Clinton, who pleaded guilty to removing and destroying copies of classified documents about the Clinton administration’s record on terrorism). We wonder what could have been in those documents that would have caused Burger to risk his career and reputation, such as it was, to destroy them. Let’s not forget about the tidy profit she made trading cattle futures. She claimed to have “studied the Wall Street Journal” to learn how to trade, but it eventually came out that she had a highly placed sourced inside Tyson Foods to, well, help her. And, of course, the vast “right-wing conspiracy” called Monica Lewinsky will surface. As we stated, exhausting. We’ll have to endure it all. Perhaps her timing is just about right. As President Barack Obama has shown, you don’t have to have any qualifications or experience to win the presidency, so she seems as good as in. However, as her somewhat-rocky first week touting her book has proven, maybe some are seeing through this empty pantsuit. Who knows? It will be interesting, albeit tiring, viewing. About the only thing that could rival this would be a reappearance of Republican Mitt Romney, who gave away a clear shot at the presidency after the first debate with Obama, obviously having just been discharged from the GOP-funded George H.W. Bush Institute for Spine Removal. Would a bona fide, honest-to-goodness leader, bereft of self-interests, please come to the fore? Now?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Life is filled with peril Commentary by Terry Anker “Smoking by pregnant women may result in fetal injury, premature birth, and low birth weight,” is a classic. Or maybe one has a preference, “Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide.” Direct and simple works too, “Smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and may complicate pregnancy.” Whichever of the U.S. Surgeon General warnings affixed to tobacco products that we find most compelling, few are missing the point – smoking is dangerous and must be treated as such. Now, we are labeling all kinds of products and activities as risky. Life, it seems, is filled with peril. As my eldest son and his compadres have just embarked into the adult work – some heading to college and others to begin their first full-time job – they are being inundated with all kinds of new experiences. Some quickly become addicted to them. The pain is limited at first but, in time, these addictions will wreak havoc on them, their families and all of our communities. Inevitably, government will attempt to help the hapless and
our ship of state will be swamped by those who were prompted to addiction years earlier. But this danger is almost secret. It is advocated by the government and those who we trust. The pushers come to our homes and to our schools. These dealers want us addicted to debt. Young folks receive a bounty of offers to borrow! Loans, credit cards, deferred payments and advances all are promised as entitlements and deserved rewards. Why wait? Why spend within our means? Why earn it and then spend it? Commercials clog our minds. “Free” government programs! Grab it now! How can anything be free? Somebody is paying. Should the loans be marked, “Borrowing can cause long-term regret and low life attainment;” or “Debt causes anxiety, stress and other related ailments.” Debt is dangerous and must be treated as such.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K “A bad attitude is merely a reflection of how you feel about yourself.”
- David Roppo
I just returned from my annual appointment with the mammogram machine, and I have to say, as I do every year, humor “blecht!” I know it’s an important, potentially life-saving procedure, and I understand that in the grand scheme of things, all the poking and pinching isn’t really that big of deal, but I still feel like curling up with a blanket and a hot mug of soup as if victimized. And I don’t know why. My “handler” was actually very nice. She kept me informed throughout the entire process and fed me constant encouragement. She let me see the images as they appeared on the screen, and even congratulated me on my apparently svelte pectoral muscles. But there’s just something about having another human being contorting your half-exposed upper body around and into a cold, stainless and glass contraption that leaves you feeling like a piece of meat being prepped for the sausage maker. It’s breast Twister, with a definite, sadistic, twist. And another thing that rather galled me, as if I haven’t already had to compensate enough for my rather small bosom, is that mammograms are more challenging for the lessendowed. Since there really isn’t that much to work with, you see, scooping and pulling every single ounce of tissue into place is imperative for a readable image. How many times did I hear “Nope, it’s not working. Let’s try again.” But my gal was a perfectionist, so we pressed on with our game: “Left shoulder to blue, chin on yellow, right arm on green, stand on your tippy toes, just lean forward one bit to red, hold your breath and … Let me just change this position here … now try wrapping your hand around blue again….” Argh! Eventually, she did manage some lovely shots, if I do day so myself, but the ordeal left me a bit rattled. It didn’t help that she recommend Tylenol on my way out to help with what I can only assume will be soreness and perhaps bruising. Did you think I was kidding about the manhandling? Again, I know I have no right to complain. Several of my friends are breast cancer survivors (superheroes, every single one!), and they have certainly put these few short moments of mild discomfort into to perspective. But let’s be honest here people, men would never tolerate this “game” for one second if it were their boy parts being smooshed between the glass! Twister? More like Chutes and Ladders. Ah well, until next year. Peace out.

Colombian Ballet to perform in Zionsville
By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com The rich culture, music and dance of Colombia will be coming to Zionsville Performing Arts Center June 28 courtesy of the Colombian Folkloric Ballet of Houston. dance Eberto “Tiko” Amador, president and executive director of the ballet, said he hopes that the diversity of Colombia will radiate through the performance. “There are good people, hardworking people, and we’re very proud of our culture and background,” Amador said. Founded in 1983, the Colombian Folkloric Ballet’s mission statement includes the preservation and celebration of Colombian culture through education, folk dances and cultural programs year round. The show “Mi Colombia” portrays the five major regions of Colombia through music and dance, including the Andes, Atlantic Coast, the Eastern Plains, the Pacific Coast and the Amazon rain forest. Amador felt the need to promote a new image of Colombia because of its stereotypical portrayal as a land of drug dealers and negativity. “We have the second generation of Colombians in the Houston area,” Amador said. “It’s something that I’m very proud of. The new generation is helping us maintain tradition and the culture.” The ballet company provides lessons to both professional dancers and at-risk youth in the Houston area. Dancers for the ballet company are also regularly taken to performances of the Houston Ballet and Houston Theatre District Broadway musicals to enhance their training.

“The love I have for my country, it’s in my veins,” said Sandra Villaquiran, who performs as a soloist dancer for the ballet company. Villaquiran, who considers herself a first generation Colombian American, shares Amador’s sentiments about the need to portray the cultural variety of Colombia. Villaquiran participates in the children’s outreach programs, teaching kids about the country’s heritage and instructing them in dance. “They’re just enamored by the makeup and dresses, and they’re learning,” Villaquiran said. Many native Colombian children begin dance lessons in primary school, something Colombian
American youth rarely receive until they’re older, if at all. And Villaquiran’s favorite portion of the show is the Amazonian dance, featuring fast and strong movements. “I feel a huge connection with my audience,” Villaquiran said. “Mi Colombia,” a performance by the Colombian Folkloric Ballet of Houston • Zionsville Performing Arts Center • 1000 Mulberry St. in Zionsville • 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. June 28 • Tickets start at $23 • For more information call 7334833 or visit http://pac.zcs.k12.in.us/pac.

lIvE MUSIC
Tower of Power ready for spotlight By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com The soulful tunes of R&B horn section band Tower of Power – famous for its years backing up Huey Lewis & the News – will music arrive at the Klipsch Music Center in Noblesville June 28, and the band wants to remind fans what is, in fact, hip. Founded in 1968 by Emilio Castillo and Stephen “Doc” Kupka, the band originally performed only covers. But Kupka said he preferred to play Bsides or singles, rather than the hits everyone had already heard before and performed better. By 1970, Tower of Power signed a deal for its first album, East Bay Grease, with Bill Graham’s San Francisco Records. Eighteen albums later the band has a well-honed sound that will make them stand out on their summer tour with Journey and the Steve Miller Band. Over their careers the band has fought to play original songs instead of covers. And that fight has led Castillo to try and impart some lessons to younger musicians. “Certain schools have really great programs,” Castillo said. “I noticed in my kids that every other subject got better after they started taking music lessons.” Castillo’s education never stopped, however. “I’ve used what I learned on a hands-on basis with each band,” Castillo said. It’s no surprise that with each bit of wisdom gained over four decades that some things have

changed, including the manner in which the band creates new content. “Nowadays, everybody’s sobered up, so we make an appointment. We talk a while, maybe pray, then start writing,” Castillo said. He is actively involved in his church, spending much of his time with his family there. Though their summer tour will take them all over the country, Castillo said he’s looking forward to the show in Hamilton County. “The Midwest is real rock ’n’ roll territory. Kids were raised on it,” he said.

Retirees suffer as 401(k) rollover boom enriches brokers - Former employees shifted $321 billion from 401(k)-style plans to individual retirement accounts in 2012, up about 60 percent in a decade, according to Cerulli Associates, a Boston-based research firm. As a result, IRAs hold $6.5 trillion, more than the $5.9 trillion in 401(k)-style accounts. A three-month Bloomberg investigation found that former employees at major companies have complained that sales representatives lured them into rolling over their 401(k) nest eggs into unsuitable IRA investments. While retirees can generally leave their savings in 401(k) plans, financial firms entice them with cold calls, Internet ads, storefront signs and cash incentives to switch to IRAs. They tout the advantage of the IRA’s wide variety of investment choices over the typical 401(k) plan’s limited menu. Yet that appeal can also be a pitfall for retirees offered expensive and high-risk investments. IRAs often charge higher fees than those associated with 401(k) plans, giving brokers an incentive to promote rollovers. “You’re going into the wild, wild west when you take your money out of a 401(k) and put it into an IRA,” said Karen Friedman, executive vice president and policy director of the Pension Rights Center, a Washington-based group representing retirees.

Rehab services run the gamut Commentary by Andrea McMath Many people have heard of rehabilitation or physical therapy, and many may know that some hospiWellness tals offer a wide array of rehabilitation services for men, women and children. Still, few fully understand the wide array of services that rehabilitation services cover. In fact, some therapies are rarely discussed. There are many therapy services offered for pelvic pain (in both men and women), but you rarely hear people talk about the men’s therapies and pelvic pain. Typically, people see or hear about women’s pelvic health issues, such as incontinence after childbirth or surgeries, or tailbone pain. Men also suffer from pelvic health issues and will usually see multiple doctors before going through physical therapy. We find that for many patients, going through physical therapy first will better prepare the body for surgery, or sometimes help them avoid surgery all together. Spring and summer tend to be the times of year that we see more pelvic health issues in both men and women. This could be as a result of the fact that with warm weather in the Midwest comes more bike riding – we see many avid bike
riders among our male patients - and more time playing outdoors and at the pool chasing kids around, which causes leaking and other pelvic issues in women. Some rehabilitation services offered for pelvic health issues include exams, exercises, and manual techniques to help with the pain. At IU Health North Hospital, for instance, computer-assisted exercise is deployed when applicable, and it lets patients see how their muscles are reacting to exercises. For many patients, visuals help with the exercises. Lymphedema therapies help to work through scar tissue or swelling that is often associated with cancer and removal of lymph nodes. Therapies for craniosacral issues assist patients who have complaints of headaches, chronic pain, TMJ, and fibromyalgia. Problems can be acute or chronic, and therapies typically involve gentle hands-on techniques. Even better, all of these types of therapies are outpatient therapies, which don’t require hospital stays. Andrea McMath, physical therapist at IU Health North Hospital, is a certified lymphedema therapist and is trained in techniques for craniosacral therapy and pelvic health. For more information, call 688-2021.
diSpatches Stretch first thing in the morning – “Stretching for 10 minutes every morning has a variety of benefits, including decreasing risk of heart attack, alleviating stress, and improving circulation. You can feel the effects in just 10 days. My morning stretch starts with my hips. If I can’t touch my toes, I know I’m too stiff. Then I loosen up my neck, because that’s where I store tension … A lot of times I’ll think, I’m too tired to do my sit-ups today. But after stretching for 15 seconds, I have the energy for them.” – Dr.Oz in Prevention Magazine Exercise – Exercise can help you get a good night’s sleep, especially if you’re older. In a small study in Sleep Medicine, researchers found that people (55 years or older) with chronic insomnia who started doing aerobic activities reported significantly better sleep, mood, and vitality after four months than those who did non-exercise activities. Riverview Health to debut milk bank depot – The Indiana Mothers’ Milk Bank will open a new milk depot at Riverview Health at 10:30 a.m. June 26. While the IMMB has depot locations around Indiana, this will be the first location in Noblesville. “Studies have proven breast milk to be the ideal nutrition for infants and, unfortunately, there’s no way to duplicate it,” said Amy Gardner, department manager of Riverview Health Maternity Center and Pediatrics. “As advocates of breastfeeding, we’re excited to be able to facilitate milk donation opportunities through the Indiana Mothers’ Milk Bank.” Screened breast milk donors will be able to drop off their donations at Riverview Health, where they’ll then be transported to the IMMB pasteurizing facility in Indianapolis to undergo testing to ensure the milk’s safety. Milk from the IMMB is distributed to Neonatal Intensive Care Units throughout the United States. Before the opening of the Riverview Health location, donor mothers in the area would have to drive to drop off their donations at another milk depot or ship milk to the IMMB via mail.

Crac des Chevaliers near Homs, Syria. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Syria’s castle of the knights Commentary by Don Knebel
Syria’s Crac des Chevaliers is the best preserved Crusader castle in the world. Its fortifications foiled one of the most travel capable military leaders in history and have thus far survived the current war in Syria. Crac des Chevaliers is located atop a volcanic mound along a pass between the port city of Tripoli, Lebanon, and Homs, Syria. The first fortress on the site was built by the Kurds in about 1031 to protect Homs from a sea-borne attack. That fortress was captured in 1110 during the First Crusade and then anchored Tripoli County, a Crusader State. In about 1142, the Count of Tripoli donated the castle to the Knights Hospitaller, a Christian order that arose to assist pilgrims in the Holy Land and evolved into a fighting force to retain the lands taken during the Crusades. The Hospitallers converted the original Kurdish fortress into the most elaborate of their many castles in the Middle East, calling it “Crac de l’Ospital.” The central living and administrative buildings, including a large chapel, were separated from a massive outer wall by a wide moat. Areas for storing grain, olive oil and water were designed to enable a garrison of 2,000 soldiers
and their horses to withstand a five-year siege. Visiting Crusaders returned to Europe with novel ideas for their own castles. By 1187, Saladin, the great Muslim ruler, had retaken most of the lands occupied by the Crusaders, including Jerusalem. He then turned his attention to recapturing the territory controlled by the Knights Hospitaller from their base at Crac des Chevaliers. After viewing what he considered the castle’s impregnable fortifications, Saladin did not even attempt an attack. The castle finally fell to Baybars, a Mamluk Sultan, in 1271 after a siege that reportedly ended with a forged directive telling the Hospitallers to surrender. The conquerors turned the castle’s chapel into a mosque. Crac des Chevaliers, near the contested city of Homs, has been shelled by both sides in Syria’s civil war. The castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has sustained damage but remains largely intact, a tribute to the Knights who designed and built it.

Converting screen porch into sunroom adds living space Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING SCREENED PORCH: The owners of this home in the Lincolnshire addition on the west side of Carmel blueprint for quickly ran out of space improvement as their family grew. “The bigger our family grew the less room we had for seating. It always felt too crowded and dysfunctional.” So they set out to expand their kitchen by expanding into the adjacent screened-in-porch. Creating a cozy seating area just off the kitchen was the main goal of the project. SALVAGING ROOF: Salvaging only the existing roof structure and windows, the existing siding, screens and interior wall between the kitchen and sunroom were removed. To support the cathedral ceiling, new structural beams were installed. After the completion of the structural prep work, framing was installed and the masonry for the fireplace and brick base was completed. To ensure the room stays warm during the colder months, fiberglass batt insulation was added to the ceiling, walls and floor. EXTERIOR FINISH: Matching cedar siding was added to the walls of the sunroom and painted “Soft Yellow” to match the rest of the house. The three salvaged windows and three additional matching windows were placed around the perimeter of the room giving the space an abundant amount of natural light. Matching trim
before & after
completed the exterior finish – making it appear as if the sunroom was originally built with the house. INTERIOR FINISH: An extensive amount of trim work was incorporated into the design of the fireplace and interior walls. Adding coffered ceilings added an upgraded look while also adding architectural interest. The entire room was painted “Delicate White” and finished with oak hardwood floors which match up perfectly with the existing kitchen flooring.
FINAL RESULT: What was originally an underutilized screened porch is now a cozy dream space creating a better flow for the kitchen and surrounding rooms. “We couldn’t be any happier with our new sunroom addition. Of the entire space, we love the coffered ceiling the most. It really adds so much character and definition to the room.”
