Pence visits Fishers to kick off I-69 construction By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Indiana Gov. Mike Pence visited Fishers June 22 and was joined by local officials to celebrate the official kickoff for construction along I-69 roads in Hamilton County. “This is a project that will provide $92 million in improvements to I-69 from Ind. 37 here in Fishers to Ind. 38 in Pendleton,” Pence said. “It is a part of the Major Moves 2020 program, which was an initiative of our administration our very first year in office. I'm someone who truly does believe that roads mean jobs, and, with all due respect to the members of our team wearing the bright yellow vests, I don't just mean road jobs. If you have the right infrastructure, you make the right investments, you take care of what you've got, and you build for the future, you create the kind of infrastructure that will support economic growth in the state of Indiana.” Milestone Contractors has begun work on I-69 by repairing pavement and paving an asphalt overlay on approximately 15 miles of the interstate. The project also will add a third I-69 travel lane in each direction from Ind. 37 (Exit 205) to north of Ind. 38 (Exit 214) in Pendleton. Additional project highlights include a southbound auxiliary lane between the 116th Street entrance ramp and future 106th Street exit ramp as well as a reconfiguration of the Campus/ Southeastern Parkway interchange at Exit 210 into a double crossover diamond to improve traffic flow. “I believe this project, which will accomplish not only a widening but also improvements in a variety of ways, is going to contribute to the ease with which people move through this area, do commerce in this area, and I believe it's going to create even more economic growth in the days ahead in this corridor,” Pence said. “It’s a major infrastructure project that’s going to widen and improve and

strengthen this asset for generations to come.” Construction on the new I-69 traffic lanes and the Exit 210 interchange is set to begin following the Fourth of July holiday, with all construction for the project anticipated to be complete by the fall of 2017. For more, details on the project can be found at in.gov/indot/3440. htm.

Residential addition proposed for Fuel Tank By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Indiana Ice Arenas, LLC introduced a proposal for first reading at the June 20 Fishers City Council meeting for a new building Development including 20 residential units, a locker room and coaches’ offices directly to the west of the Fuel Tank at Fishers. The building would represent an additional investment of approximately $4 million. The Indiana Ice Arenas, LLC group guaranteed an investment of at least $1.65 million for improving and restoring the arena upon purchasing it last year. “To date, I’m pleased to represent that they have spent more than $5.1 million upgrading the facility … and they have an additional $600,000 in construction going on right now,” attorney Steve Hardin said.
The Fuel Tank at Fishers, 9022 E. 126th St., is proposing to invest $4 million into a residential building with 20 units, a locker room and offices next to the ice hockey arena. (Submitted rendering)
“They’re excited to start the process of upgrading the PUD ordinance to allow them to add on and invest an additional $4 million to construct
an attached facility for the Fuel players and coaches. It would have 20 residential units along with a 3,000-square-foot locker room and office space and then those units could be available in the offseason to the public if they’re not being used by the team.” The project is anticipated to go before the planning commission July 13, where a public hearing will be conducted, before coming back before the city council in August. “I’m just really impressed with how quickly this has come together,” City Councilor Todd Zimmerman said. “When they were talking initially to us about the housing residential part, that was like, ‘Well, this is one of those steps that could take a few years,’ but it’s pretty exciting to see it come together this fast.”

Three organizations, the Indiana Buddhist Center, Compassionate Indy and the Center for Interfaith Cooperation, came together to bring the Dalai Lama’s message of compassion and harmony to a sold out crowd. VIP guests included KP Singh (Indianapolis), Gurinder Singh (Fishers), Marilene Isaacs Kauffman (Westfield), William Wending (Carmel) and Raju Chintala (Carmel). Words cannot describe the emotion and gratitude I felt after leaving the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see such a powerful worldwide leader. The Dalai Lama spoke about the value of generating compassion and loving kindness in our hearts and homes as well as our communities, both locally and globally. Everyone who attended left with a new mission of spreading peace, harmony and compassion. It was truly a magical day for all who attended.

Mud Day returns for messy fun By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Fishers’ messiest tradition is back for its fourth year as Cyntheanne Park event will host Mud Day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 9. “To me, Mud Day is really the embodiment of being a kid. It is just mayhem” Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliott said. “What we do is essentially we till up almost a football field-size space, we add about 20 tons of dirt to it, and then we add about 50,000 gallons of water and create just a giant, soupy, sloppy mud pit for kids to play in.” The free event, sponsored by Cathedral High School, also will include a DJ providing music and food trucks on site. A special section of the mud pit will be coned off for children ages 4 and younger. “It's one of the most photogenic events we do,” Elliott said. “Kids are just covered head to toe in mud and you see the whites of their eyes and teeth but that's about it.” The mud pit is next to the pickle ball courts at Cyntheanne Park, where ample parking is available. More than 3,000 people attended and got dirty during last year’s event. “I think Fishers kids and Fishers families just want these kind of opportunities to be

kids, and that's exactly what Mud Day is,” Elliott said. “It's a chance to go have fun and get as messy as you can possibly get. This event has become really iconic in the Fishers parks offerings just because it's messy, it's really simple and there's really nothing else around that's quite like it … At the end, we create a human car wash that kids and parents can walk through to get cleaned off the best they can, but we recommend messy clothes and shoes that could be thrown away, and definitely bring a lot of towels for the minivan seats because there is going to mud everywhere.”
New toddler playground opens By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com The latest addition to Roy G. Holland Memorial Park was designed with outdoors the youngest of the city’s residents in mind.

We just didn’t have the funding at that time to get the toddler playground done,” Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliott said. “I think there are more families with toddlers that come here than anything else, so there was a lot of interest and excitement and anxiousness to get this playground open … Similar to the big playground, it’s (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible with a lot of ADA-accessible features. The rubber surfacing makes it friendly for strollers, too.” Elliott called Holland Park already one of the city’s oldest and most popular park destinations, and he expects the addition of the

Fishers a great place to play Commentary by Tony Elliott As Fishers Parks and Recreation Director, I oversee all of our parks, programs and special events. It’s not a job that could outdoors be done well without an excellent team, and several individuals are responsible for making Fishers a place that’s not only a great place to live and work, but also a great place to play. Our summer camps, which are nearly full each year, and summer events like Monsoon Madness and Mud Day wouldn’t be the hit they are without the hard work and dedication of Recreation Manager Amber Mink. In partnership with Hamilton Southeastern Schools, Chief Naturalist Danesa Stolz has developed the Nature First program, which provides hands-on environmental curriculum for every first grader in the school system. Her expertise is invaluable to our department and our community at large. This year, we’ve taken on some new initiatives, like the community garden at Cyntheanne Park — which filled more quickly than we could have anticipated — and events at the Historic Ambassador House and Heritage Gardens. We’ve also taken on an old resident favorite, the Fishers Farmers Market.
I’d be remiss not to mention the Summer Concert Series, which had a record-breaking opening weekend with AMP After Dark and the special Jamestown Revival concert. These efforts are spearheaded by our always creative and energetic Events Manager Sarah Jenkins and her team of dedicated staff members. With such robust events and programming yearround, we rely on local residents and community organizations to extend the reach of our staff through volunteerism. Community Engagement and Volunteer Coordinator Dan Domsic makes securing volunteers for all our large-scale events look easy, but I can assure you it is not. He has a knack for connecting with the community in a way that benefits us all. Finally, all of our events and programs are undergirded by two highly efficient individuals who handle customer service, project management and so much more — Andrea Babb and Matt Walker. Thanks to the whole crew for making Fishers a great place to play!

From behind my wheel Commentary by Steve Wohlford In my younger years I taught drivers’ education in the summer months. I did this for more observations than 12 years. It never ceases to amaze me how little today’s drivers seem to know or understand. One major key to safe driving for all of us is that each of us needs to be predictable. That’s the reason “rules of the road” exist. Other drivers’ behavior behind the wheel of a car is greatly affected by hundreds of common-sense assumptions they have concerning your driving behavior. Someone driving 45 mph downtown cannot be anticipated. If you live in Hamilton County, you have shared some of the behaviors mentioned and have asked the same questions. For example: • On 146th Street, you should not be passing a vehicle that is traveling at 54 mph. • A vehicle entering a roundabout from your right really doesn’t expect you to be traveling at 35 mph, so don’t
give him/her a hand gesture. Practice your road course driving somewhere else. • That 18-inch, white line just before the crosswalk is there for a reason. Its name is STOP LINE. • In your subdivision, if you drive 35 mph instead of 20 or 25 from the entrance of the subdivision to your home, you’ll save 15 to 20 seconds on your commute. Is that worth a child’s life? • The following is a commonly observed illegal act. When in a turn lane waiting to turn left, don’t sit behind the crosswalk and then move forward after the light turns yellow. The law says, “enter an intersection on yellow only when you were unable to stop safely.” Uh, you were safely stopped already, so don’t proceed to make your left turn. You just made an illegal turn.
Steve Wohlford is a Noblesville resident and former driver education instructor.

All the info you need to celebrate the holiday in Fishers By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com
cover story
The annual Fishers Freedom Festival was just the beginning of the city’s
Celebration at Saxony Sunday, July 3
The seventh annual Saxony Independence Celebration Concert and Fireworks presented by IU Health Saxony returns to Witten Park, 13257 Saxony Blvd., July 3. Local cover band and event mainstay in recent years My Yellow Rickshaw will kick off the festivities with live music beginning at 7 p.m. “They’ll play for about three hours, and then the fireworks should start right around 10 p.m. Shreve as soon as it gets dark,” Saxony Marketing Manager Candi McKinnies-Shreve said. There will be food trucks on site, and coolers also are allowed for people to bring their own food and beverages. “We just started out with a simple event. We just wanted to bring the community together, and we decided to do it on July 3 because we didn't want to compete with the large events on July 4,” McKinnies-Shreve added. “Now it's developed into its own very large event out here — and it's all free. Just bring your lawn chairs and blankets and such and family and friends can come on out to enjoy a free evening in the park with a concert and fireworks.”
Parking
Parking is available in the main lot off of 134th Street and Olio Road. Handicap parking is available near Witten Park.
Fun fact
The event has seen its crowd increase each year since its inception, with last year’s concert and fireworks drawing approximately 12,000 visitors. “The year before that it was around 8,000, so we’ve seen a steady increase every year,” Candi McKinnies-Shreve said.

Fourth of July celebrations this summer, with the upcoming holiday weekend offering residents many more opportunities for food, fun, music and fireworks to celebrate Independence Day.
Blast on the Bridge Monday, July 4
Another area tradition, Blast on the Bridge, offers residents a unique opportunity for food, fun, fireworks and fundraising for a local cause. “It's at one of Fishers' most iconic and unique locations at Geist Reservoir,” Fishers Director of Parks and Recreation Tony Elliott said. “And it's a really cool bookend to the Fourth of July week for us with the Fishers Freedom Festival opening the week and then these fireworks kind of closing the week.” The Fall Creek Road bridge over Geist Reservoir will be closed to traffic at approximately 4 p.m. July 4, with Blast on the Bridge beginning at 6 p.m. and fireworks scheduled for dusk near 10 p.m. The event Elliott has drawn crowds of nearly 15,000 in years past. “Blast on the Bridge is a really, really unique event at a unique location. You just don't get to see fireworks over the lake too often,” Elliott said. “There are different places around the Fall Creek Bridge where people can park, and it creates a really unique journey to the bridge as families all walk toward the reservoir. There are a number of different food vendors from restaurants, and one of the major sponsors this year is Michelob Ultra through Terrance Smith Distributing, so people have an opportunity to grab a beer and hang out on the bridge,” he added. “People can take their own food and non-alcoholic drinks, and it's a really cool walk as you go out there. It's a unique opportunity to set up on the bridge over the reservoir, and it's just kind of a hang-out festival atmosphere.”

Event officials expect between 12,000 and 15,000 residents to attend this year’s Blast on the Bridge at the Fall Creek Road bridge over Geist Reservoir.
Parking
The event’s best bets for parking include Holy Spirit Parish at Geist, 10350 Glaser Way, at the strip mall at 96th and Olio Road.
Fundraise for clean water
Blast on the Bridge also serves as a fundraiser for the Geist Lake Coalition, which uses the funds raised to support its reservoir water cleanup projects. “They want to preserve the environmental quality and the health of Geist Reservoir, so the money they raise goes toward different clean-up efforts or dredging projects,” Elliott said. “This summer they're working on some projects up the creek that feeds into the reservoir, and they've done some work out there with some bank stabilization. They just try to preserve that environmental health and quality at Geist so people can continue to boat and swim and enjoy the reservoir for years to come.”

Who’s least untrustworthy? OK, we can’t help ourselves with respect to the upcoming presidential election. It’s no surprise the vitriol gets nastier by the day, and it’s going to get much, much worse. We tend to agree with recent comments made by well-known pollster Frank Lantz, who, commenting on the high negatives of both Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Donald Trump (R-Billions), said, “The candidate who proves they are less untrustworthy is the candidate that’s going to win.” So Trump’s “Crooked Hillary” label likely makes sense. She’s hitting back, of course, but Trump is smart in bringing up all the past Bill and Hillary scandals of the past, as most of us forget the details. While pundits have told us this election will be like no other, it does bring to mind the 1988 battle between George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis (Remember him?). The Republicans knew it had a weak candidate in Bush, and the strategy was not to build up Bush but tear down Dukakis. Mission accomplished. Perhaps this is what 2016 is all about: Whoever can launch more and effective punishing attacks on the other, wins. Trump has a great arsenal in Hillary being, well, Hillary, but we never underestimate the power of the Clinton machine. Either way, it will be a great spectator sport. ••• We hope you will have a safe and restful, if not overly patriotic, holiday weekend. Our nation’s independence is reliant on so many, and it’s defended the world over. To those that serve, and to those that came before them, our heartfelt thanks for all that is done each day so that we are ensured our freedom continues unabated.

Fame: It’s going to live forever Commentary by Terry Anker It is a popular subject of our culture. We sing songs about it. We dedicate films and television shows to it. It seems that we even select our political leaders, in part, because of it. Fame. It is pursued and reviled in nearly equal measure. Yet, its allure is undeniable because of both the power it bestows and the very fact that it bends the rules of life to conform to those who wield it. There are no velvet ropes that cannot be moved or inconveniences that cannot be overcome. For those standing in the bright light of fame, as 1980s British rock-and-roll band Dire Straits memorialized in its anthem to fame – you get “money for nothin’ and chicks for free.” We all want to be special. There is nothing innately wrong with the desire to have our peers take notice of our ability, appearance or agenda. It is good to feel loved. One might imagine it is good to have things go our way a bit more. But the reality distorting prin-
ciples of fame often become a dangerous and addictive state of affairs. Too quickly one can come to believe that privileges, once imagined to be special, are now to be expected. They consider a life without firstclass passage too difficult to be endured. Can we become trapped by our own expectations? Surely. Can our understandable need to be important be tainted as we achieve the very thing that we are seeking? Probably. Kardashians, political candidates and community organizers all use fame as a tool to open doors and meet objectives. In fact, it is most impressive what can be achieved doing little more than manipulate fame. But, is being a V.I.P. enough? Is fame an end in itself? Somehow, I doubt it.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.”
– Richard Nixon
Recently we Wilsons had an interesting turn of events to which, in the broader context of parenting, I think humor many of you will relate. My boy/girl twins are almost 15 and were set to make their Catholic confirmation last weekend. On the last day of their five-day preparation retreat, literally seven hours before the ceremony, I got a call from my son telling me he did not want to be Catholic. He would not be making his confirmation that evening. My initial thought was, “But I ordered two cakes!” He couldn’t explain his reasoning over the phone but assured me that this decision was not something he had taken lightly. I told him I was proud of him for choosing his own path, but hung up in tears. Had I done this? Had I been the one to turn him away from Catholicism, from my heritage? Or was he simply acting out a teenage rebellion, deciding this was easier than smoking pot? With no time to contemplate my maternal shortcomings – his sister was still going through after all – I continued making pasta salad for the post-mass party. I did however text the relatives to let them know what had transpired and left the question of gift etiquette in their hands. When I picked him up prior to the mass, I heard his reasons. They were good. They were strong. And in that moment, I realized maybe I was actually a decent mom. I’d somehow taught my kid to stand up for his beliefs, whatever they are, and even if they aren’t the same as my own. To my surprise (and his, I suspect), the family recognized this as a special moment, too. They rallied around my son in support of his decision, showering him with cards and cash anyway. In one particularly brilliant recovery, an aunt simply crossed out the word “confirmation” and wrote “cool new glasses.” Perfect. Teens don’t always make the right call, which is why at cross country drop-off I love yelling “Make good choices!” But in this case, my son made the right one. Peace out.

My wife and I recently returned from Savannah, Ga. It was so serene that I began to wonder if I would have been better humor off in a career that didn’t include the nerve-wracking deadline stresses of TV and newspapers. Walmart greeter looks like a low-stress job, but the employment contract requires being nice to people. Like I’d sign something like that? Toll booth collector intrigues me. You meet people with no risk of establishing a real relationship. If you really want change, this is the gig for you. How about lumberjack? You’re outdoors, and you can wear the same shirt every day. It would be fun to come home and say, “Honey, I got the axe at work today,â€? and not have her burst into tears. I think I should have been a tour guide. First of all, you don’t really have to know anything, because no one will dispute it, nor remember what you say. Our guide in Savannah recently told us how Savannah was founded when the Pilgrims came over and ‌ no, that’s not it. Actually, the Spanish missionaries arrived first ‌ no, that doesn’t sound right. Whatever.
I’d be an excellent tour bus driver, as well. I have no sense of direction, but the passengers have no idea where they are going, either. If lost, I could make up outrageous stories about how in this very isolated area three Catholic nuns saved the city of Savannah from the Spanish war ships by staying awake 72 straight hours to man the lighthouse. See? I told you I’d be good at this. I couldn’t be this lazy in my present work. The last 40 years would have been so much more pleasant without that accuracy monkey on my back. If I had the chance now, the lure of a microphone and a captive audience moving at 45 miles per hour would be tough for me to turn down. And here’s the best part: I could tell the same jokes every day, 50 weeks a year and no one would know. (For the complete version, visit currentinwestfield.com)

Your guide to allergies Commentary by Gerald Mick, MD, IU Health Physicians Primary Care While our immune systems protect us from viruses and bacteria, they also can react — or overreact — to family medicine harmless materials which trigger allergic reactions. Nearly 20 percent of Americans have some type of allergy. And while seasonal allergies with symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and coughing are the most widely known allergies, many other substances, including foods, also can cause allergic reactions in some people. Dust mites, pet dander, peanuts and seafood are other common allergens. People who are allergic to pet dander and dust can experience symptoms similar to seasonal allergies. They also may have red- or itchy-skin rashes or hives. Food allergies may cause a variety of symptoms, including stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Allergies to nuts and other substances, such as insect stings, may cause the most severe and potentially life-threatening reaction — anaphylaxis — which causes a drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness and shock. Individuals with severe allergies carry Endorsed by the Indiana Bicentennial Commission

epinephrine, a medication that stops severe allergic reactions. It comes in an auto-injector for quick and easy delivery. It’s important to remember people can be allergic to anything. Medications, latex, metals, household cleaning chemicals and perfumes and dyes are other common culprits. Severity of the allergic reaction can differ greatly from person to person. In some cases, the reaction is quite noticeable; in others, it may be so mild it’s virtually overlooked. If you think you have an allergy, see your primary-care doctor for an initial evaluation. Depending on the circumstances, he or she may refer you to an allergist. There are a variety of tests, including simple blood tests, to help pinpoint allergies. Working closely with your doctor, most common allergy symptoms can be relieved with treatments that include oral antihistamines or regular allergy shots.

Tech innovations on display By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com OneZone President Mo Merhoff said she never Chambers of Commerce ceases to be amazed with technology developments. “We thought it would be interesting to get some people who are right in the middle of that in technology thinking and see what we haven’t even thought of,” McDonald Merhoff said. OneZone will host “Technology Innovation You Can’t Imagine” at its July 13 luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Forum Conference Center, 11313 USA Pkwy., Fishers. Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness is attempting to make the city a center for entrepreneurs, Merhoff said. “The incredible success of Launch Fishers is a testament to that,” she added. Launch Fishers is a co-working space for entrepreneurs working on start-ups.
John Wechsler of Launch Fishers will introduce presenters John McDonald, CEO of Fishers-based CloudOne, Don Inmon and Matt MacBeth from Carmel-based pi lab, and Brent Oakley, CEO and co-founder of Fuzic Media. “It is important for CloudOne to share our plan for the future, because our plan can directly impact the opportunities that other OneZone companies have as they work to innovate their business and their products,” McDonald said. “CloudOne works with companies in all industries to connect their data across their business and create their ideal (Internet of Things) solutions. By hearing the CloudOne story, we hope that more OneZone companies will begin thinking about their own innovation and outlining opportunities in the Internet of Things.” Inmon and MacBeth created Edwin the Duck, an app-connected smart toy to help children learn. Fuzic describes itself as a marketing platform empowering businesses with personalitybranded radio stations, using professional DJs and a vast selection of genres.

Fishers’ Von Drake develops Quick Drape Hanger By Eric Kuznar • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers resident Valarie Von Drake has founded her own New Business company, Von Drake Designs, to launch the patent-pending design she created for a drapes-installation system called the Quick Drape Hanger. “It’s a temporary or permanent way to install your drapery within seconds or minutes without using any Von Drake tools,” she said. Von Drake, who graduated from Purdue University Northwest, first came up with the idea for the product two years ago when she wanted to put up drapes but didn’t want to leave any damage behind. “I was renting, and I opened up a cabinet where I had some expensive drapes,” Von Drake said. “I decided I was going to continue to rent, but also that I wanted to hang my drapes up.” Von Drake has built her business from scratch. She has set up her own website,
The Quick Drape Hangers are designed to hang drapery without needing tools or putting holes in a wall. (Submitted photo)
QuickDrapeHanger.com, manages sales and wrote the patent’s proposal. “I do everything out of my home right now. There is so much to learn its like going to college,” she said. “Right now I have two styles available, but I am working on more.” According to Von Drake, Quick Drape Hangers for 1- or 2-inch blinds allow a person to put up drapery without drilling any holes into the wall. Currently the Quick Drape Hanger can only be purchased online for between $5.99 and $9.99, but Von Drake is talking to realtors to get her invention into stores. Von Drake says if anyone locally in Fishers purchases Quick Drape Hangers by July 9, she’ll deliver them personally to help buyers save on shipping.

Grammy Award-winning artist Melissa Etheridge rocked the stage and halls of the Palladium four years ago. Where’s Amy was mesmerized by the return of Etheridge on June 21, when she belted out songs with her sweet, raspy voice and contagious energy and played to a packed house. Several guests and friends of The Center of the Performing Arts had the opportunity to attend a special VIP meet-and-greet before the concert and said it was the highlight of their evening. Etheridge released her latest album “This Is M.E.” in 2014, and fans loved listening to her sing the featured singles, “Take My Number,” “A Little Bit of Me,” and “Monster.” Etheridge also brought down the house with her classic hits “I’m the Only One” and “Come to My Window.” Every time I attend a concert at the Palladium, I leave feeling pumped, and my heart is full. Etheridge touched the hearts of her fans when she sang and dedicated her new song, “Pulse,” to the victims of the Orlando tragedy. It was beautifully written, and 100 percent of all download proceeds go to help those affected by the tragedy in Orlando. Hands down, Etheridge gave a superb concert, and I left with a smile on my face thinking about how fortunate we are to have The Center for the Performing Arts working hard to bring the best worldwide entertainment to Carmel. Grab your family and friends and be sure to check out the 2016-2017 season, because Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you there! For more, visit TheCenterPresents.org.
It was a VIP family affair for Palladium sponsors, from left, Teri, Jack, Michael and Ron Lenz, all of Fishers, who are fans of Melissa Etheridge and said they love reading Where’s Amy.
Kevin Byrd (Carmel), Amy Rexroth (Carmel) and Mike Kueper (Fishers) loved hanging out and rocking to the sounds of Melissa Etheridge at the Palladium.
Carmel’s Jenn Kampmeier organized Rock the Cradle and Indy Family Fest, and now she has a new brainchild – the first mobile wine truck in the state. drinks She bought the bus last winter and began the rehab process in March. “It took a good eight weeks to do it,” the self-titled “mompreneur” said. “There’s nothing else out there like it, so we were doing everything ourselves. We got the bus down to the bare bones and built it up again.” The Vino Mobile, or Vinny, as Kampmeier fondly refers to it, has no seats and people can’t ride in the bus. The wine truck is completely mobile with a full bar, and it is available to be rented year-round. “We always have five wines on there,” she said, adding that riesling, chardonnay, pinot grigio, pinot noir and a cabernet or cab blend are the most popular. “Indiana is a sweet state, and we love our moscato, love our riesling, so I’m going through that like hotcakes.” The wine is purchased from Monarch Beverages, Coastal Wine and Spirits and Republic National Distributing Company. Her first few customers include the Westfield City Market, and she has already been booked for weddings. She also has made an appearance at some summer concerts in West Clay, Avon, Noblesville and Fishers. Glasses of wine cost between $6 and $8, depending on the wine. Although Vinny has no seats and customers can’t ride the bus like some of the brew buses found around Indianapolis, Kampmeier said seats are on the agenda. “Eventually, when we get done with 2016 and sit back, franchise is ultimately where I want to go with this,” she said. “We aren’t just a seasonal wine truck because we have a portable bar. We can take a custom bar anywhere, and (Vinny) is the transport. He’s the attention-getter.” Customers have to be more than 21 years old to enjoy beverages.

As far back as the 1940s, Walt Disney began a practice of putting its classic animated films like “Snow White” and “Bambi” theater in the vault. Likewise, Beef & Boards Dinner Theater will lock up one of its favorites, “Church Basement Ladies,” following its July 14-Aug. 21 run. “We’re bringing back the original production,” said Patricia Rettig, director of marketing and media relations. “There are several in the series, and we’ve presented four of them, so it can get confusing. This is the show where it all started, which we first presented six years ago. And it will be the last time we present it for a while. It’s going back into our vault, to borrow Disney’s term.” “Church Basement Ladies” is based on the best-selling book, “Growing Up Lutheran” by Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson. The musical comedy is about the women who work in the church basement cooking meals for church functions. Four women do their best to organize food, stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, keep the pastor on due course and try to solve the problems of their changing rural Minnesota

New to the lineup are Lindsay Sutton as Signe Engleson and Dawn Trautman as Signe’s mother, Karin Engleson. Sutton portrayed Cinderella Beef & Boards in 2011. For more, visit beefandboards.com.
Chariot Festival set for July 9 By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com The Chariot Festival of Indianapolis is back for its second year and will offer food, entertainment and a traditional family fun Indian celebration. The event will start at 10 a.m. July 9 at the Hindu Temple of Central Indiana, 3350 N. German Church Rd., Indianapolis. Ratha Yatra is the tale of the journey of three Hindu deities – Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra – from their temple to their aunt’s home on grand chariots. The event originated in Puri, Odisha in India, but it has spread worldwide since 1967 with the first U.S. festival in San Francisco. “Our event is not about any religion, thought or belief,” said Saswati Pandab, one of the festival organizers. “It about people coming together, getting to know each other, enjoying, dressing up and trying out something new.” Pandab moved to Fishers in 2004 where she found a small group of people working to organize the event there. They couldn’t plan it all on their own, so they reached out to the Hindu Temple for help. Now, they have gained sponsors as well as more organizing members
A crowd gathers during last year’s Chariot Festival. (Submitted photo)
who donate to make the event possible. During the festival, visitors can help pull the chariots around the temple, play instruments and enjoy Indian cuisine. The only cost for the event is a food coupon, which Pandab said will be less than $5. Pandab said the event was so successful last year that the group already has plans to expand the festival to the downtown area within the next few years. She said they are hoping to make this event as well known as the ones in New York or California. “The more people get to know about it, the more people participate, one day we will be able to Google ‘Ratha Yatra Indiana,’” Pandab said.

It’s not often you can spot a film crew walking down 116th Street, but movies this summer will be a little different. A film crew will be traveling all around Fishers to shoot “The Storyteller.” Joe and Nancy Crump, director and executive producer, chose Fishers because it is their home. Both were nervous to ask companies if they could film in their area, but they said everyone has been extremely helpful. “Everyone has been so nice and welcoming and excited and I think that really helps to boost the energy of the project that is very much a passion project,” said Rachel Noll, producer. In their two years working together, Joe Crump and Noll have written two scripts together, the second being “The Storyteller.” The film chronicles the story of how the love of a young, charmed girl heals a family. “Ultimately it’s a story about family and about how this little girl brings a family that’s drifted apart back together.”
The crew for “The Storyteller” created fairy tests in Los Angeles prior to filming, in order to experiment with special effects on film. (Submitted photo)
The film has attracted well-known actors including Broadway star James Snyder and Constance Towers from “General Hospital,” among many others. Nancy Crump said the script is to blame for high caliber talent joining the film. “People are moved when they read it,” she said. “There are different things in the script that touch [people] based on what their life experience has been.” For more, visit facebook.com/thestorytellerfilm or 20questionsfilm.com, a website Joe created for aspiring filmmakers.

Blueprint for Improvement: Creating functional space Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to create additional and more functional space with an updated look throughout the entire home. 1. A second story was added to include a master suite with sitting room, a cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors, laundry room and a balcony off the bedroom. 2. The kitchen received a remodel with new cabinets, countertops, lighting, hardware and appliances. 3. New windows were installed throughout. 4. Updated lighting, flooring and finishes throughout the home. 5. All roofing and siding was replaced, along with a fresh coat of paint to give the exterior an updated look.
Before Background info: This 1930s bungalow in Meridian-Kessler was a bachelor’s pad before the couple got married. The two-bedroom home was just not enough space for the newlyweds.
Before problems:

The luxury of space and privacy was lacking in this small home, especially with only one shared bathroom. Most of the home was original and very dated, with original cabinets, plaster walls and flooring.

Talking politics Commentary by Jordan Fischer Good news for those of you out there in Grammar Land: the Grammar Guy is back from his hiatus and ready to grammar guy talk politics (sort of). Generally, holding the position of Grammar Guy in as high esteem as I do, I try to stay above the fray. But now that election season has roared upon us with all its sound and fury, even I can’t resist a few steps on the campaign trail. Don’t worry: We’re not going to be spellchecking campaign mailers or critiquing candidates on their subject-verb agreement. We’re going deeper. So grab your copy of Aristotle’s “Rhetoric” and prepare to talk about the art of persuasion. If ethos, pathos and logos sound like characters from the Three Musketeers … then you’re surprisingly well-read for someone who’s not familiar with the modes of persuasion. First put to page by Aristotle in the Fourth Century B.C., the modes of persuasion (ethos, pathos and logos) are how speakers appeal to their audiences. I’ll let the man himself do the introductions: “Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. ... Persuasion is achieved by the speaker’s personal character when the speech was so spoken as to make us think him credible (Ethos). ... Secondly, persuasion may come through the hearers, when the speech stirs their emotions
(Pathos). ... Thirdly, persuasion is effected through the speech itself when we have proved a truth or an apparent truth by means of the persuasive arguments suitable to the case in question (Logos).” Repackaging that for this century, ethos is an appeal to authority – specifically the speaker’s. It can come from expertise, from an elected position or just inherent goodness. The important thing is that the speaker has authority, and you should listen to him/her because of it. Pathos is an appeal to emotion. If you’re a fan of the Simpsons, you’ll recognize pathos in Helen Lovejoy’s frequent, handwringing appeals for “somebody to please think of the children.” Won’t you? Logos is the appeal to logic – and it’s often the least effective mode. If you’d like to understand why, consider that Airborne – the popular Vitamin C supplement – made its parent company $70 million between 2011 and 2012 – a full three years after the makers admitted in a $23 million class-action lawsuit that there was “no competent and reliable scientific evidence” to support its health claims. As of the writing of this article, a bottle of 75 Airborne gummies goes for $23.75 on Amazon. Coming up next week: “Ethos, or: Why people should listen to me.” Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@ gmail.com.
Dispatch Fact checking – You’ve probably fallen for one of those stories that makes the social media rounds. They’re usually either sappy, like the story of Daisy the dog rescuing people on 9/11, or designed to scare you into taking some kind of action. Have you seen the recurring warning about Facebook posts becoming public? Both stories are false, but people repost them anyway. Before passing on such stories, take a minute to fact check on a website like Snopes. com, TruthorFiction.com or FactCheck.org. Source: TechNorms.com Peel potatoes quickly – Here’s an easy way to peel potatoes. Keep the skins on the potatoes while you boil them. The skins help hold in the flavor and the nutrients. But first make a thin circle around the circumference of the potato with a sharp knife, cutting just through the surface of the skin. After you boil your potatoes, let them sit for a minute till cool enough to handle. The skins will slip right off. Source: MakeSushi.com
Hairspray for ink stains – Maybe you’ve heard that hairspray will remove ink stains from clothing. This may be true, but you have to use aerosol hairspray, not the pump kind, for it to work. Massage aerosol hairspray into the ink stain and then run under cold water. Repeat until gone. You might have to do this three or four times, but it will work if you are persistent. Source: Naturalon.com Prevent boil overs – Lay a wooden spoon across the top of the pot when it comes to a boil. The spoon creates an obstacle for the bubbles, making them pop before they’re able to boil over. Source: Mashable.com Information is beautiful – If you are a visual person who learns more from seeing charts, graphs and pictures, than by slogging through pages of data and facts, you’ll like InformationIsBeautiful.com. This website is loaded with pages of beautiful infographics on all kinds of topics. Many of the charts are interactive so you can dig further on details that interest you.

4 EASY STEPS TO
AFFORDABLE LUXURY

Pick Your Project
Along Amsterdam’s Singel Canal. (Photo by Don Knebel)
The canals of Amsterdam Commentary by Don Knebel Since 2010, Amsterdam’s canal ring has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. Since the 17th century, this unique travel transportation system has allowed visitors to the Netherlands’ capital to reach what is probably the city’s most famous attraction. In the middle of the 13th century, Dutch fishermen established a trading village along the Amstel River in northwest Holland. The village became known as “Amsterdam” after a dam protecting the area from flooding. To protect against invaders, residents built a semi-circular moat around their village, extending south from the IJ, at the time a bay. In 1585, Amsterdam expanded beyond the moat and residents began using the moat, named the “Singel Canal,” for transporting themselves and their goods. In 1613, with its population continuing to grow from international trade, the city began building three additional canals in concentric semi-circular rings around the original moat, quadrupling the area of the city. When completed, Amsterdam’s new canals were connected to each other and to the
Singel Canal by radially extending canals, enabling efficient water travel from any part of the city to another. Amsterdam, with a population of more than 200,000 in 1800, was among the world’s largest and most prosperous cities, attracting people from all over the world. One of its most popular destinations, especially for visiting sailors, was an area inside the Singel Canal known as “De Wallen,” featuring drinking, gambling and prostitution. Today, Amsterdam’s 165 canals, with a combined length of approximately 65 miles, are spanned by more than 1,200 bridges, three times as many as in Venice. Approximately 2,500 houseboats are moored along the canal banks, most serving as permanent residences. Three million visitors a year board tour boats to traverse Amsterdam’s canal network, many ending their trip near De Wallen to explore Amsterdam’s still flourishing red-light district.
