By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After a quarter century serving in the Indiana State Senate, 72-yearelections old Noblesville Republican Luke Kenley has announced he will retire Sept. 30, leading to a caucus to replace him. A date hasn't been set but several names have been floated as possible candidates to replace Kenley, including Megan Wiles, president of the Noblesville City Council; Sue Finkam, president of the Carmel City Council; and Scott Willis, a business owner and marine who ran against Kenley in the last primary. MEGAN WILES Kenley has encouraged Wiles to seek the seat. On July 10, she officially threw her name in for the District 20 senate seat. She began her first term in 2016 and Wiles

A construction barricade has been placed at 116th Street and Allisonville Road to notify drivers. 106TH STREET Lane restrictions may occur on 106th Street from Eller Road to Crosspoint Boulevard due to geotechnical drilling along the corridor. Restrictions will be between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Flaggers and signs will aid in directing traffic. 136th STREET AND PRAIRIE BAPTIST ROAD Hamilton County Highway Dept. will close the intersection of 136th Street and Prairie Baptist Road for approximately 60 days to allow for contractors to reconstruct the in-

tersection. Signs with detour routes will be in place. Those with questions may call the Hamilton County Highway Dept. at 317-773-7770. 96TH STREET Construction has begun on the new roundabout at 96th Street and Lantern Road. 96th Street traffic between Kincaid Drive and Fitness Lane/Pinecreek Drive will be reduced to one lane in each direction throughout the summer. BROOKS SCHOOL ROAD The Brooks School Road bridge over I-69 is closed as Milestone Contractors rebuild the bridge deck. During the closure, traffic will be detoured to Promise Road via 126th and 136th streets. The bridge will remain closed until August. ALLISONVILLE ROAD AND 146TH STREET Hamilton County Highway Dept. has changed the traffic pattern for northbound Allisonville Road at 146th Street. There are now two left turn lanes and one northbound through lane. 116TH STREET Lane restrictions will be in place on 116th Street between I-69 and Cumberland Road through summer for improvements. 113TH STREET In order to resurface and make roadway improvements, there will be lane restrictions on 113th Street from Olio Road to Florida Road. Beginning the week of July 17th, 113th Street will be closed between Ashford Pointe and Ringer Road for the installation of a storm sewer across the roadway. The closure will last approximately one week.
“People have suggested I should take a look at that seat,” Finkam told Current on July 10. On July 11, Finkam told Current she is officially running. SCOTT WILLIS This Westfield resident ran against Kenley previously because he felt the General Assembly needs to change the formula for school funding, which he hopes would return Hamilton County schools to some of the top in the state for dollars funded per student. Willis Willis, a father of three, lost in the 2016 primary to Kenley with less than 40 percent of the vote. Willis said he will make a decision soon. “I am considering it,” he told Current last week. “I have meetings scheduled over the next few days with key people in the party to explore another run.”

Event to aid cancer organization By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The beneficiary for the fifth-annual Earl D. Hoover Memorial fundraiser Golf Tournament for Charities has a special meaning to board member Roy Allen Lederman, whose wife, Jen, is a breast cancer survivor. The tournament, which will be held July 22 at River Glen County Club in Fishers, assists a different charity each year. “My wife was diagnosed when she was 27 years old, and my son was not even a month old,” said Lederman, a Carmel resident. “She is now 15 years cancer-free. The Pink Ribbon Connection benefits people locally. It helps the women going through breast cancer emotionally and psychologically (and helps provide) the support they need. For those that can’t afford it, this organization provides the wigs free of charge for those in need.” The cost for one golfer is $150, and a foursome is $600. Registration starts at 7 a.m. with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. The tournament benefits Indiana chapters of various charities, including the

National Multiple Sclerosis Society (2013), the Badge of Honor Memorial Foundation (2014), Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (2015) and Alzheimer’s Association (2016). “We raised $12,000 last year, which was the largest amount we’ve raised,” said tournament founder Michael Hoover, a Carmel resident. “Each year we take our turns, and each board member presents a case list for charity. This year we all voted to go with Roy’s selection. When I called (Pink Ribbon Connection) and told them we’d like to partner with them, they said the timing could not be better for their needs.” The tournament is named for Hoover’s father, who was a former Muncie police officer who died of cancer in 1997.

Roger called Shelbourne Knee Center. At age 62 he didn’t want to hang up the soccer cleats or give up the trail runs with his dog Cowboy. And after a successful total knee replacement it looks like he won’t have to. In Roger’s words, “The biggest thing is I’m walking pain free.” And for Roger, those are pretty nice words to live by. A recent Shelbourne Knee Center study found that patients took 85% less pain medicine and had improved pain control after undergoing Shelbourne’s knee replacement process versus the with your life. In Roger’s case that means kicking soccer balls and getting back on the trail. He’s always had the heart to do it. Now he’s also got the knee.

Females prominent in male-dominated careers in Fishers By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
Being surrounded by men in male-dominated professions doesn’t daunt four Fishers cover story women who are making an impact in
their community. Angela Ellison, Leah McGrath, Tabitha Miller and Amie Flowers are paving the way in Fishers to show women can do anything. Current in Fishers caught up with them to learn how they’ve become leaders in their fields.

ANGELA ELLISON What is your role? “Sergeant with the Fishers Police Dept.” What are your duties? “My main duty is I’m a patrol sergeant on the day shift. I supervise nine officers.” How does it feel to be a woman rising through the ranks in a male-dominated career? “Fishers has always been a very family oriented department. I felt more discrimination out on the street than I ever did in my own department. When I got hired, there was one other female. She was the commander of a patrol division before she ended up leaving, so the way was already paved a little bit. I was the only female for several years, but there are five female officers now. I’ve been very supported. I started several programs in the department; the critical incident stress management team, which manages officer stress, and the crisis intervention team, which is educating officers to deal with mental health calls. I was the domestic violence coordinator. I was a D.A.R.E officer, a field training officer. I’m a hostage negotiator. I’m a mother and a wife and the daughter of a police officer.”
AMIE FLOWERS What is your role? “Firefighter/EMT.” What are your duties? “I am on Engine 95 as the backstep. If we go on an EMS run, basically we just help with patient care. If we go on a fire alarm or an accident, I would be the one that would take the equipment to the house or the vehicle, so I’d be the one on the nozzle going in if it’s a fire.” How does it feel being a woman rising through the ranks in a male-dominated career? “It’s really no different. I get along with everyone, whether it’s me being a female working with a majority of males or working with a majority of women. I’m treated equally. I always have been since I’ve been here. I’ve not had any issues with that. It’s tough knowing that being that it’s male-dominant and it’s a very strenuous physical job, I know that I have to not necessarily keep up with them, but I have to be accountable for myself, my physical ability, making sure I stay on top of working out every shift and also offshift and remain healthy, eat good and stay hydrated.”

TABITHA MILLER What is your role? “Assistant director of fleet management.” What are your duties? “Overall management of all (city) vehicles – vehicles, equipment, anything motorized we take care of. We purchase them, service them, fuel them and then ultimately sell them or dispose of them. There are 340 vehicles and over 800 pieces of equipment.” How does it feel being a woman rising through the ranks in a male-dominated career? “It’s a challenge that I have always enjoyed. There’s a certain amount of satisfaction when you can complete something that a lot of people feel you shouldn’t be able to. It drives you to do better at your job. I feel women who are in more male-dominated roles, they are a little more driven than the men are. It’s a challenge that’s really fun. It’s very satisfying.”
Deputy Mayor Leah McGrath works in her office. (Photo by Ann Marie Shambaugh)
LEAH McGrath What is your role? “Deputy mayor at the City of Fishers.” What are your duties? “My duties are to help oversee day-to-day management of the city and then to work on special initiatives with the city (like Fishers’ 2040 Plan).” How does it feel being a woman rising through the ranks in a male-dominated career? “Men who don’t expect you to be in the job you’re in or who may question it, I think you can respond to that in two ways. You can be angry or driven to be better, and I think I’ve always channeled that to be driven, to be better, to achieve whatever goals there are I set for myself. There is so much opportunity here. Whether you’re a woman or a young man, you are really valued for what you contribute and what you do.”

ob s e r v a tion Kindle by its cover
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker We might know spine. Certainly, we’ve learned the definition of cover. But what is the fore edge, hinge and free endpaper? Our lexicon must include hand-stitched, end-stained and hardbound. Although one would be hard-pressed to find someone who has never held a book, few of us show more than a limited command of the vocabulary required to describe its many components. Most focus on the ink at its most fundamental, the ideas. The means of conveyance, well, means very little. For generations, we humans have scribbled our hopes, aspirations and accumulated knowledge into the most permanent and accessible forms our technology would allow. From stone tablets to books took centuries; yet, the conversion to the digital may be done in a single lifetime (or less). The great mass of collected human knowledge has largely been made electronic. Convenience, low-cost and adjustable font size has driven us to rethink the way we approach how we absorb information. And so what? Bits and bytes are increasingly controlling the way we live. Currency, communication, and, now, data all move without any of the pesky need for an actual physical specie. Still, is it wise to judge a Kindle by its cover? If a book is edited not with a pen but with a keyboard, can we show its evolution, or devolution, from one iteration to the next? Someone recently reminded that books, by their very nature, are romantic and mysterious objects. At sight, we don’t know what they will bring us. Will our smartphone come to embody the same promise?

Time to strengthen smoke-free laws Editor, July 1 marks the five-year anniversary of Indiana’s smoke-free air law. This law was a milestone for the state of Indiana in protecting thousands of Hoosiers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. Unfortunately, it also left many workers unprotected. The progressive cities of Hamilton County have the opportunity to make up for what the state smoke-free air law is lacking, to cover all public venues, including bars and membership clubs. Two cities, Carmel and Westfield, passed what’s now the state law a few years prior to 2012. All Hamilton County cities are leaders that promote commerce, cultivate thriving communities and foster health, making them the envy of other counties and cities throughout the state and the nation. They embrace
healthy living by building complete streets that invite walkability, address the stigma of mental health, promote youth athletics and design world-class, often smoke-free, parks. Why can’t one or all of these cities, or the county as a whole, take the next step in health by adopting smoke-free air policies that protect employees, no matter where they work? I could bring up how smoke-free air laws positively affect health and protect our economy, but in Hamilton County it’s about leadership. Our cities have a healthy competitiveness that keeps them on the cutting edge. The question, or perhaps challenge, becomes which of these cities will add smoke-free air to its list of firsts. Sylvia Mary, Fishers
I pretty much live at Meijer. Six to seven gallons of milk a week, five boxes of cereal, two bunches of bananas ... humor you get the picture. The point is, I have my grocery shopping down to a fine art. Many of you, however, do not. So here ya go. Have a list. This is Grocery 101 here, people. A list won’t prevent you from buying things not on the list but will ensure you get everything that your family deemed important enough to actually write on the list. Doo’s deodorant, Maddie’s pencil sharpener, cat food, etc., — essentials that you will definitely hear about if forgotten. Just do it! I shouldn’t have to mention this, but I realize I am dealing with amateurs: Always park as close to a cart corral as possible. Only use the self-check line if 75 percent of your items are pre-packaged. You are not a professional cashier! You have not memorized the scan code for radicchio! Never get in the check-out line behind women over the age of 30 (unless it’s me). Rather, shoot for male patrons. They purchase less, never use coupons and usually pay with cash. Men don’t want to be there, so they’re focused on a quick exit. Organize your goods on the conveyor belt into these categories: cold/frozen products, boxed goods, cans/jars, produce and smooshables. This allows for an efficient bagging process and ensures that dairy and meat stay colder (Doo always teases me about this whenever I allow him to tag along, but just this weekend I had a cashier actually thank me for my anal retentive organization and confirm that this technique does in fact speed up check-out. Take that, Doo!). Make me proud! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Pie in the eye Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Hal Fryar passed away recently at 90. If you don’t know who he is, maybe the name Harlow Hickenlooper will ring humor a bell. Harlow Hickenlooper is tough to say. Hal Fryar will be tough to forget. They are one and the same. Hal was the host of several children’s television shows in Indianapolis throughout his 43-year career, including a longtime gig on WFBM-TV (now WRTV-6), where he introduced Three Stooges movie shorts. In 1965, Fryar was cast in the original Three Stooges movie, “The Outlaws Is Coming,” playing the part of Johnny Ringo. In 2008, he was inducted into the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame. Hal loved performing on live TV, a passion he and I shared. But there was a strain in our relationship — a mock competition between us. It began when Hal boasted that the Three Stooges hit him in the face with a pie, citing it as proof of his friendship with the trio. Not to be outdone, I proudly proclaimed that I had once been similarly victimized by the one and only Soupy Sales when he came to Indy to perform at Crackers Com-
edy Club. Soupy agreed to do a live WISH-TV shoot from his hotel. That morning, as we planned, I waited at the elevator until he exited to the lobby. I mentioned to Soupy how much older he looked. When a waiter walked by carrying a pie, Soupy nabbed it and smooshed it squarely in my face. The last time Hal Fryar and I spoke, we compared proper pie-throwing techniques. The pie, which is usually shaving cream on a paper plate should be placed on the face using an upward motion. No grinding permitted. One eye of the recipient should be kept free of pie so he can navigate safely to a bathroom to clean up. Useless information, you say? Not to a comedy artist like Hal. Months ago, when Hal discovered that his cancer had returned, he lamented to his son, Gary, “Gosh darn it, I was really looking forward to my 90s.” Direct and right on target. Just like a pie in the face.

The future of stem cells Commentary by Dmitry M. Arbuck, MD Stem cells repair tissue around them, donating mitochondria and other vital parts to diseased cells. If science repair is impossible, they turn themselves into new and healthy young tissue. This allows for the healing of virtually any organ. When infused intravenously, stem cells initially concentrate in the lungs and multiply there. This is why they are so useful in treating COPD, cystic fibrosis and other lung conditions. As the stem cells continuously multiply, their function is long-lived. In addition to being therapeutic on their own, they also promote your body’s own stem cells to become more vital and active. This aids in healing, but more importantly, is the basis for rejuvenation. Umbilical cord stem cells come from the donated cord blood of healthy newborns and, because of that, they do not present ethical concerns. Umbilical cord stem cells are not known to cause immune rejection or transmit genetic diseases. Stem cells are widely used to
treat conditions in orthopedic and sports medicine, immune diseases and a whole host of other diseases and conditions. Stem cells also possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties, so they suppress infections and help antibiotics be more effective. Each umbilical cord stem cell infusion prolongs life and prevents diseases. This is why they may be used prophylactically, allowing healthy people to stay healthy. By regulating the immune system, umbilical cord stem cells prevent cancer, slow down aging and improve well-being. With regular use of umbilical cord stem cells, humanity will change. We will live longer and be healthier. It is estimated that living to age 160 and older will be common. It is hard to fathom the true scope of benefits that stem cells can provide. The future is today. Please check StemCellsIndy.com for more information.

Tim Drake, left, and Jill Kelly Howe perform “If I Were A Carpenter.” (Submitted photo provided by Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre)
‘Ring of Fire’ now on stage By Zach Dunkin • editorial@youarecurrent.com When Tim Drake heard Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre was doing a production of “Ring of Fire,” he didn’t hesitheater tate to leave his comfy home in Minneapolis and head for Indy’s northwest side. “It’s one of my favorite shows. I just love it,” Drake said of the musical portrait of the late country singer Johnny Cash, playing now through Aug. 13. “I jumped at the chance of doing it. The music is great. The roles are great. You can do a lot of things in it and play a lot of different instruments. It’s a high-energy show, and it’s just a lot of fun.” Drake should know. He played in the three-month touring version of the show, which tells the story of Cash through the
performer’s iconic songbook. Drake is part of the ensemble, which has no real stars. No one plays a specific character. Johnny Cash is the star. “We all take turns of being different characters,” he said. “Sometimes, one woman will play June Carter. Sometimes, one woman is Patsy Cline. Sometimes, somebody plays Johnny’s brother. Then, Johnny himself. And while you are doing that you might be playing the drums or the guitar. Or the washboard, the mandolin, or the piano.” The show’s cast includes actors who also are the show’s musicians, so they must be very good at multi-tasking. Drake is making his debut at Beef & Boards. He has spent most of his career in Minneapolis at the Plymouth Playhouse. For tickets and more, visit beefandboards.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor retreat for the family Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions: The goal was to design a multi-functional outdoor space the family could enjoy for many years to come! 1. The original wood deck was replaced with an expanded stamped concrete patio at ground level for a trip-free transition from the grass. The stamped concrete steps have embedded lights for safety. 2. A large portion of this new patio is under a vaulted, covered structure to provide shelter in precipitation. The painted structure matches the home’s existing trim color, and the column bases are clad with a stone to coordinate with the existing brick. The new accent lighting allows the space to be enjoyed in the evening. 3. A new wood-burning fireplace was clad with the stone used for the column bases. The new grill island was clad with brick to match the base on the home — a seamless look with the home’s intended style!
Before Background Info: This home in Carmel’s Longridge Estates neighborhood is only 5 years old, but the original base level deck that was tacked onto the home was not sufficient for this growing family’s needs.
After
Before problems: With their love of the outdoors and the stressful demands of their careers, the family desired a combined outdoor retreat and entertaining space to enjoy in multiple seasons, with direct visibility to the kids and dog playing in the backyard.

Towering achievement: Taipei 101 Taipei 101, located in Taipei’s vibrant financial district, was the world’s tallest building for five years. travel It remains famous for its innovations and extensive symbolism. Named for its 101 stories, Taipei 101 was completed in 2004 at a cost of almost 2 billion U.S. dollars. At 1,671 feet (509 meters) high, it was the first inhabited building more than half-a-kilometer high and was 188 feet taller than the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, then the world’s tallest building. Taipei 101 lost its title in 2009 to Dubai’s 2,722-foot Burj Khalif, the first building more than a half-mile tall. It retains its title as the world’s tallest green building, based on a LEED certification in 2011. Taipei 101 is approximately 660 feet from a major fault line. To withstand both a 2,500-year earthquake and the typhoons common to Taiwan, the building includes a novel mechanism allowing the building to flex while resisting excessive swaying. A 728-ton spherical steel pendulum, 18 feet in diameter, is suspended between the 92nd and 87th floors and acts as a tuned mass damper, making the building stable even in 130 mph winds. The design of Taipei 101 symbolically celebrates Taiwan’s economic and technological progress. The number of floors – 101 – connotes both the new beginnings of each Jan. 1 and binary code. The exterior of the building, covered in green glass, suggests a giant bamboo stalk, an ancient icon of learning and abundance. Eight sections above the base each include eight floors, reflecting the No. 8 as a symbol of prosperity. Each section resembles an antique Chinese moneybox, a connection made explicit
