Fishers brother and sister win award By Sarah Stoesz • news@currentinfishers.com
A Fishers brother and sister are becoming budding entrepreneurs after formulating their own line of organic floral tisane beverages. entreprenuers On July 30, John and Andrea Burkhardt and John’s wife Alecia competed in the Hottest Kitchen Entrepreneur Challenge. The third annual challenge was sponsored by Ivy Tech Community College and Reliable Water Services. The Burkhardts presented organic floral tisanes from their startup business, Petality, to a panel of six judges. “It was a really fun experience for us,” John Burkhardt said. “Going in, we were just confident that the beauty of flowers would sweep the judges off their feet.” Petality won first place in the startup category against two other finalists. The Burkhardts decided to create their own line of beverages after discovering the world of authentic flower tisanes. “ With the unique flavors and health benefits, we really just dove right in and have been loving it ever since,” Burkhardt said. After the birth of John and Alecia’s daughter, Annabelle, the Burkhardts became more health conscious and decided to switch to organic foods. As tea drinkers, they realized a need for their product.
ON THE WEB
“With healthy beverages on the market, it seems like there aren’t that many low sugar options that are organic,” said Andrea Burkhardt. They spent over a year coming up with their original recipes. They had brew fests in which they would spend hours brewing and experimenting with different flower petals. Their goal was to showcase the flower in its truest form. “We really wanted to do some of the key floral tisanes throughout history,” John Burkhardt said. “We really wanted to start there and do those rightly.” The Burkhardts’ mission is to allow people to experience the complete enjoyment of flowers. “It was really born out of a passion for beauty, a pure delight in flowers, and enjoyment of good health. Those passions all merged into Petality,” he said. Floral beverages are not as common on the market. The Burkhardts are working hard to reintroduce these historical floral tisanes. “It has been really enjoyable to watch it blossom in a way,” said Alecia Burkhardt. “Just to see the simple enjoyment that someone can have getting to taste a red hibiscus flower has been fun.” In the future, the Burkhardts hope to sell their product in local organic grocery stores and restaurants. They already have presales on their product. To learn more about Petality, visit www.petality.org.

Fishers’ Fire Chief Manages at a national level By Mackenzie Klahr • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers Fire Dept. Chief, Steve Orusa was selected to serve as the incident commander of the District Five Indiana public safety Management team at a recent federal exercise conducted in Indianapolis. Incident management teams are specifically trained groups of men and women who assist local law enforcement when various disasters hit on the local, state and national levels. While at the exercise, the team, which is made up of four other Fishers’ locals, focused on a reaction plan that it would implement in the possibility of a terrorist attack. “I am confident our government is doing everything it possibly can to prevent this from happening, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have to practice for if it actually does,” Orusa said. Each district is made up of pivotal roles that are designated to oversee all categories of concern, while the incident commander is in charge of organizing the team as a unit. Incident management teams are not only used at the federal and state level, but also at a local level. Fishers has an incident management team of its own that drills once a month to become familiar with cases such as plane crashes, white storms, mass causalities and tornados. Mark Elder, the division chief at the department, works to equip the team for any possible

scenario. “It’s the day-to-day stuff they are comfortable with, “Elder said, “it’s trying to bring those things that are strange, that probably will never happen and we hope will never happen, but just in case it makes them think outside of the box on how they would approach.” All incident management teams work alongside departments who have expertise in the designated areas of conflict. In Orusa’s exercise of a possible terrorist bomb, the team worked with the department of energy
to identify the radioactive exposures. “You interact with federal agencies such as the department of energy who help track the prevailing winds and where the radioactive fallout zones are and that’s at the mercy of weather so that then changes and alters your whole management of the disaster,” Orusa said. For more information on what to do in case of an emergency and tips you can implement to remain safe, visit Fishers’ ‘Ready’ page at www.Fishers.in.us.

Mike and Janet Harris of Indianapolis enjoyed a picnic dinner and an evening of music at Fishers’ Amp After Dark Concert Series Aug. 1. (Photo by John Cinnamon)
Amp After Dark is a hit By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com Despite the threat of rain, lots of people brought their lawn chairs, blankets and picnic dinners to Amp After Dark Aug. 1. It’s music the newest addition to the Town of Fishers’ summer concert series and is held on Friday nights. It runs from 9 to 11 p.m., which is later than the very popular Tuesday night summer concerts, with the idea of it being a more “adult” experience. “We wanted it to be like maybe 20 years ago, they’d go to the Vogue on Friday night. Well, now we want them to come to Amp After Dark on Friday night,” says Bob McCutcheon, the event coordinator for the Nickel Plate Amphitheater. He says the Friday night event has been very popular. “The average has exceeded our expectations. It’s been a really good year. Jennie DeVoe cracked the 2,000 mark for the first time. And we had a couple of bands that did over a thousand. The first show was the only one that was kind of slow,” he says. Tuesday nights have continued to be very popular, McCutcheon says: “Even with all the construction, all the parking, all the everything,
our numbers were up 10 percent more than last year,” he adds. Those shows averaged an attendance of 4,000 people throughout the run. The Tuesday night concert series has now ended for the year but the Friday night Amp After Dark series continues through August with Slim Pickens Blue Grass on Aug. 15, the Indianapolis Municipal Band on Aug. 22, and Jon Banard on Aug. 29. The summer series comes to an end on Aug. 30 with the 2nd Annual Nickel Plate District Blues Festival presented by Chateau Thomas Winery. The festival will run from 4 to 10 p.m. and will feature 11 acts on stage throughout the day and a lifetime achievement award for Indiana blues legend Harvey Cook. McCutcheon says the first Blues Fest was a huge success. “We tried it last year and it far exceeded anyone’s expectations,” he says. There will be food trucks and wine from Chateau Thomas Winery for purchase. The event itself, just like all the concerts, is free. Free movies will return to the amphitheater on Friday nights beginning the second week of September.
Riverview Health to build new Westfield care center news@currentinfishers.com Riverview Health recently purchased 8.6 acres of land near Westfield High School on the northeast corner of U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 for a new care center. This comes as part of a partnership between Riverview Health and Westfield Schools, which was announced in June. “Our intent is to build a 30,000-40,000-squarefoot ambulatory care building to service not only the school employees and students, but the Westfield community in general,” said Larry Christman, chief operating officer at Riverview Health. “This will allow us to build vital relation-
ships with the community and provide exceptional, high-quality care to the people of Westfield.” Plans for the new clinic include multiple physician services as well as lab, radiology, fitness and physical therapy services. The care center will also house an outpatient pharmacy and the school system employee clinic. As part of the long-term partnership with Westfield Washington Schools, Riverview Health will also serve as the exclusive healthcare provider for its students and employees, which includes the employee clinic and outpatient pharmacy as well as school nurses and an athletic training program.

Get-out-the-vote campaign begins By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com
Give yo u r kids a star r in g ro le in life.
Elle Rogers of Fishers just turned 18 years old, which makes her old enough to vote for the first time in November. Rogers, who is civics entering her senior year of home school, takes her newly-minted right to vote very seriously and wants to get other people to do so too. She cites statistics that show that in the Hamilton County primary this past May, an election where Fishers elected its first mayor, only 12 percent of registered voters actually cast a vote. On a national scale, less than 60 percent of the population voted in the 2012 presidential election. “Can we really say our nation is ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people’ if the people aren’t choosing their leaders?” she asks. “I’m launching See You at the Polls because voting is so vital to the success of our democratic republic. I will be handing out car magnets to get the word out, as well as setting up Facebook and Twitter pages.” She says there’s a lot of apathy especially among young voters and she feels that there’s a disconnect between politics and their lives which translates into voting being viewed as unnecessary and even unimportant. She thinks the bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., doesn’t help that impression. She counters that thinking by saying: “It is especially important for young people to vote and care about politics, because the people we elect make decisions that affect our everyday lives.” “I want to impress on people the importance of participating in democracy through voting. More concretely, I want to encourage people – democrat, republican, and otherwise, to get involved, whether that means informing them-

selves on different issues or supporting candidates whose ideas they are passionate about. The importance of voting comes down to the principle of ‘every vote counts,’” she says. Rogers is looking for a corporate sponsor to cover the cost of the voting reminder magnets that she will be handing out. She appeared before the Fishers Town Council Aug. 4 to present her plan to council members. Rogers is hoping to have a career that includes politics. She says she would like to be a political spokesperson or campaign manager. Her dream job would be Press Secretary to the President.

According to testing and surveying by a research program at Virginia Tech University, parents, athletes and administrasafety tors at Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers can breathe a little easier in regards to equipment they supply their high school football teams. The research shows that a huge percentage of helmets used by the Royals and Tigers are among the safest used in football. The testing profile supplied by the School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences at Virginia Tech ranks football helmets from one to five stars. Five stars is considered the best available; four stars is ranked very good; three stars is considered good; two stars is called adequate; and one star is marginal. There is also a classification called not recommended. According to the results, Fishers uses 84 helmets that carry a five-star ranking. The helmets are Riddell 360 and Riddell Revolution Speed models. The Tigers also employ 90 Riddell Revolu-
tion models that possess a four-star ranking. Meanwhile, Hamilton Southeastern uses 59 helmets (Xenith 2 and Riddell Revolution Speed) with five stars and 60 helmets (Xenith 1 and Riddell Revolution) with four star rankings. Another school, Ben Davis, which uses mainly four star and five star ratings, has said it will shelve the non-recommended helmets. “The faster that I can replace them, the better,” Ben Davis coach Mike Kirschner told WRTV reporter Bob Segall. Duma agrees with the decision. “Those are helmets I would not want my child wearing,” said the researcher. “Schools should stop using those helmets.” The concern on player safety and concussion injuries has carried over into several statehouses. This week California Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation that his state’s high school teams may only have contact (full equipment) practices twice a week during the season. Texas and other states have limited contact practices. Formal high school practices have begun in Indiana.

Fishers’ Historic Inn’s owners reflect
Commentary by Beth Clark
Prairie Guest House, a Gothic Revival style brick farmhouse at 13805 Allisonville Rd., opened its doors to the public back in the day just over a year and a half ago as Fishers’ only Bed and Breakfast establishment. Owners John and Karen Newton reflected on their first year of business and are very pleased with the fruits of their labor: a bustling tourist season with every room booked most weekends. “Business has been terrific this summer,” John said. “Very busy.” And it is no wonder. The Prairie Guest House provides a peaceful, rural retreat with the conveniences of suburbia, perfectly situated to take advantage of all the cultural offerings of Fishers, Carmel and Noblesville. Not to mention it is just a stone’s throw away from the action at Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, with events like the popular Symphony on the Prairie. The Prairie Guest House enjoys a beneficial cross-marketing relationship with Conner Prairie as well as a shared connection with local history. According to the limited historical information John and Karen received when they purchased the property, their Guest House was built in 1870. A map of Delaware Township from 1880 documents the house on land owned by one F.M. Finch, likely the initials of Fabius Maximus Finch, son of one of the earliest settler families in the
Prairie Guest House at 13805 Allisonville Road as it appears today. (Submitted photo)
state, a brother-in-law of William Conner and a well-known Circuit Judge for Marion, Johnson and Hendricks counties. F.M. Finch’s primary residences were in Franklin and Indianapolis, and he had additional land holdings in Marion County. His use for the property along what is now Allisonville Road remains speculative. That the house was constructed of brick, a more expensive material than wood, indicates it was the home for, or commissioned by, a prominent citizen. The house changed hands several times after Finch no longer owned the property. It is known that the house was part of a working farm for many years, including a horse farm of over 20 acres during the 1920s. The buildings on John and Karen’s property, whittled down now to two acres, include a large barn, well house, the brick Guest House with an addition that was constructed in the 1980s, and
a 1907 clapboard cottage moved onto the property by the previous owners that serves as the main office and dining room for guests. In addition to the antique furniture inside the Guest House that came with the purchase of the property, John and Karen intend to stay true to its farming history. They plan to expand their gardens that already supply the rooms with fresh cut flowers and the table with vegetables and herbs to become even more self-sufficient, providing guests with a true “farm to table” dining experience. More information on the Prairie Guest House can be found at www.prairieguesthouse.com.

GET STARTED WITH THE STARTER XF TRIPLE PLAY
By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with young adults for most of my time in ministry. I can’t tell you how many times I Faith would hear stories about how the church deeply hurt them. Sometimes it was true and really sad! Sometimes it was false, and sometimes it was an actual event but with a ridiculous response. Let me explain…. I have discovered that anyone who wants out of almost any situation will find a reason to do so. From quitting a marriage to quitting college, if you really want out you WILL find a reason to quit and by the time you share your story about your old marriage, college, job, or even church you have convinced others and yourself that you are a victim of your situation. Don’t get me wrong … there really are horrific things that happen in marriages, jobs, colleges, and even churches, things that absolutely need real professional and legal attention. Yet, what amazes me even more are what some people will put up with when they really want to graduate, stay married, get promoted, or even serve in a ministry. Here is the bottom line, if you want out of something YOU WILL find a reason to quit, to be offended, or to walk away. Furthermore, every time you share your story you will become more
and more the victim. Because you know, you just have to justify your action. If you really, really want to grow spiritually nothing will keep you from pursuing God, not even weird people who clearly get spirituality completely wrong. If it has been years since you have been in a church let me tell you what you will find – a bunch of messy humans looking to find deep meaning in this crazy world. They may say things that are off, misrepresent Jesus, and probably offend you. The ways of Jesus aren’t culturally cool, and you probably won’t like that either. We also have our weirdo people too, just like every gym, job, and school. So if you are looking for perfection, look to Jesus. If you are looking for some messy people with whom you can figure out your own messy life, you will fit right in … and most likely be offended at some point. This is the story of the church from its inception in Acts. Even Paul the Apostle in his Biblical letters is constantly holding people in the church accountable and helping them work through their mess. Welcome to real church. Messy church and messy you all pursuing God. Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church. You may email him at justthink@ luke117.com.

Rowing for health
Indianapolis breast cancer survivor group continues to row and grow By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com The light rain falling on Geist Marina didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the more than 40 women gathered there for their three-timesper-week practice. They cover story stood under a group of trees performing warm-up exercises using their brightly painted pink oars. This is a hardy group that has faced down death so a little rain is not going to stop them. And on this day, the First Lady of Indiana was coming to participate with them. They are members of Indy SurviveOars, which is basically a floating support group for breast cancer survivors, which explains the pink paddles and the sea of pink wardrobe worn by the participants. Yopi Havlik, Fishers, a breast cancer survivor and the Vice President of Indy SurviveOars, says the group was formed seven years ago and continues to grow. “We have people from all parts of town, from all walks of life and all different stages. We have people who are in treatment and people who have been out of treatment for a long period of time. Dragon boating was started for breast cancer survivors in Canada as a way to reduce lymphedema, which is an arm swelling due to surgical removal of lymph nodes,” she explains. Dragon boat racing is actually an ancient sport but a Canadian doctor by the name of Don McKenzie started using it for rehabilitation back in 1996 as a way to test his theory that following a special exercise and training program would improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients. He was correct and since then, hundreds of breast cancer survivors around the world have formed dragon boat teams to paddle and race. Indy SurviveOars is the first, and until recently, the only team to be formed in Indiana and now has more than 50 active members. Sarah Demmon also lives in Fishers and is an Indy SurviveOars coach. She says she joined in 2008 and the group has been great for her. “It’s done benefits for me. I have had 10 surgeries. I started as a paddler before I coached. Before I couldn’t lift my arms above my head but slowly through this workout I was able to loosen up that scar tissue and get full range of motion back,”she says, and adds, “I was never a support group kind of girl. But going into this, the sport aspect is what really attracted me first – the competition. This is a number of Type A girls that really go after it, so they’re not sitting around wallowing and feeling like a victim. They’re really going after it. Basically this activity is a way to get back at the cancer. You are defying what is happening to your body,” says Demmon. Another Fishers resident, Elizabeth Anderson
is in her second year as an Indy SurviveOar member. “I’m a young breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed at 33 so there aren’t many young people my age that are survivors. So, I had a friend that’s been in this group and she’s actually a young survivor, too. Once you join there’s no questions about it, you just feel like you belong and it’s a great support group. It’s a group that if you don’t want to talk about your feelings, you don’t have to. We’re just here for camaraderie,” she says. Havlik was diagnosed in 2002 at the age of 34 and credits her participation with IndySurviveOars as the There are approximately 50 members of Indy SurviveOars who actively participate in Dragon Boat racing.

It’s so hard when after you are done with all your treatMembers ment and life doesn’t ever go back to where it of Indy exactly was and so you search for something SurviveOars new to be normal, and this has been fabulous. were joined It’s a group of women that I never would have by Indiana met otherwise without having had cancer. We’re First Lady all very different but yet we have such a similar Karen experience, so we have that immediate bond.

What they have gone through, and they come up smiling and encouraging each other, they come out and exercise three times a week and it’s just phenomenal,” she says. Indy SurviveOars practices three days a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from April through October at Geist, and in the off-season they hold Rowbics classes and paddle on the side of the indoor pool at Lawrence North High School. They participate in three to four races every summer outside of the Indianapolis area and just finished second at a race in Chicago. You don’t have to be a breast cancer survivor to participate. Volunteers, donations and sponsorships are all needed to help lndy SurviveOars grow. The group holds several fundraisers every year to raise money for equipment, meets, entry fees and insurance.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Wither gov’s future? D.C. is destination A recent midweek night found two state legislators, an entrepreneur and us in a local eatery enjoying a leisurely dinner. The topics zipped around the table like so many Ping Pong balls. One almost needed a scorecard to keep track. We tackled the economy, the Statehouse, growth and development and, naturally, politics. When the topic of the 2016 race for the presidency bubbled to the surface, by a 3-2 vote it was determined Hillary Clinton would not run. (We believe she will.) Then, one among us asked the others what they could foresee with respect to a potential run for the Oval Office by Gov. Mike Pence. Two among the party immediately, and nearly simultaneously, said, “Vice president.” It was something neither of us had thoroughly considered. We’ve always believed that if Pence tossed his hat into the ring, it would be for the No. 1 gig. But when one stops to think about it, a vice-presidential role for the governor makes a lot of sense; it would be a greening for the future … if everything worked out for him. As we’ve stated before, we’d like to see him make more inroads as Indiana’s chief executive. Were he to hit the campaign trail, the import of his in-state to-do list obviously would lessen. So, with whom would he be paired? The name that quickly surfaced was Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, he of the unionbusting pedigree. But Walker is facing tough times in his own state for purported ties with third-party groups. Last week he was in a virtual polling tie with challenger Mary Burke. Maybe Walker isn’t the answer. Regardless, we all agreed that Washington is in Pence’s future. It seems now that it’s just a matter of what and when. What are your thoughts? Should he run? If so, which office should he pursue, president or vice president? Is it too soon to make that call? Please share your opinion at info@youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson
Marine to the Corps Commentary by Terry Anker Words are surprisingly powerful. And, they are far less static in meaning and emotion than we might imagine (or even hope). There was a time that if an envelope in one’s mailbox was emblazoned with the word “important,” that it likely was. Today, it is almost assuredly not significant – in fact, it might was well be stamped “junk mail.” Beyond the changing nature of language, words can also take very different meaning to each listener. Words like religion, progressive, or gay can insight debate for some and carry a neutral significance to others. This week my inbox found an e-mail whose subject line was Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. To me, each are very powerful and positive words. Together, they are an imperative to open and read the message. I’m glad I did. For nearly 20 years, this group has hosted a golf tournament and dinner to raise awareness, fellowship, and a few dollars to support Marine children left behind as Mom or Dad paid the ultimate sacrifice to our country. On Sept. 11
at Pebble Brook Golf Club those assembled will honor decorated Corporal Lance Thompson. His story is a powerful one. Visit www.mcsf-indy.org and read it for yourself. What do these words mean to us? Scholarship may conjure the concepts of education and generosity. Foundation might suggest permanence and philanthropy. And, Marine reminds us of service and dedication. Yes, there are many other ways to interpret these words. And, some readings are not so flattering. But is there a way that we can deny the deserved need of a family forever absent the loving hand of mother … or father. Playing a round of golf or writing a check somehow seems inadequate to ameliorate the reality faced by these families. Yet to show solidarity, and maybe to help just a little, can’t hurt.

I just returned from a week-long vacation on the South Carolina coast. humor Here are some things I learned or was reminded of while there. 1. Holy hello, the south is HOT. The average daily temperature was 95° F, but with the humidity, it felt like 105° F. On the beach it wasn’t too bad, but roadside, with no breeze whatsoever, the heat was suffocating. No wonder Southerners talk so slowly; speaking at a normal rate would cause one to combust. And how anyone ever fought a war down there is beyond me. 2. Too much chlorine does actually turn your hair green. Ask my 10-year-old. 3. If you must travel by mini-van, nighttime driving is the only way to go. Heading down, my four kids and I sat for an hour outside of Asheville, N.C., because construction and lane closures turned I-40 into a parking lot. Let’s just say I was longing for the glorious jams on U.S. 31 by the time we arrived. 4. KFC cannot be expected to provide 24 biscuits on the spur of the moment. Call ahead, people! Jeeze. 5. Everything tastes better with lard. I had lunch in Savannah at a restaurant where all the menu items were hosed down in fat. 6. I’m a darn good single parent. My husband Doo couldn’t join us until midweek, so I was flying solo for the better part of this vacation. I’m proud to announce there were minimal sunburns on my watch, only two jelly-fish stings, and just one emotional breakdown from my 13-year-old daughter. 7. A splinter can ruin your entire day. Again, ask my 10-year-old. 8. I have finally broken my cellular addiction! Distracted by parenting, beach reading, boogie-boarding and cockroaches the size of small dogs, I missed seventeen calls. And I didn’t even care. Suck it, Verizon! 9. Road trips aren’t what they used to be. One of my sisters commented that despite the long hours in the car, she and her sons hardly interacted because of their Nintendo DS’s and DVD player. Of course, when we were kids, we wore no seat belts and chain-smoked candy cigarettes. Go figure. I hope you discovered something new this summer too! Peace out.

It began with a simple phone call to my friend Auri, a computer geek I asked to help me with my very successful website, which humor right now is attracting up to three visitors a month. To have a strong online presence, you have to spend several hours a day using social media, like Facebooking, tweeting, and updating your blog. This means cutting yourself off from the outside world. But that’s the price you pay for being social. Auri and I decided to meet for coffee. I got out my trusty mini legal pad and wrote down the time and date. Then I put a sticky note on my bathroom mirror. At my age, I know I will see it there several times the night before, reminding me of any early morning obligations. This system seldom fails, although one day I accidentally grabbed a list from the previous day and started repeating everything on it. I’m glad I have an honest barber. Auri and I set the time for the following Tuesday, 9 a.m., at Starbucks. Auri entered our engagement on his Google calendar, which I soon discovered automatically synched to my AOL calendar, telling me the time and location of the appointment. A minute after our call, a “meeting alert” magically appeared on my computer screen. The message suggested I pick a color for this entry to make it stand out and distinguish it from other
After my stroke, I had medical issues that made it impossible for me to go directly home. The people at the hospital told me about rehab and therapy available at Westminster Village North. My daughter visited the newly renovated health center and decided it was the place for me. My private Medicare suite was spacious and comfortable; and the staff really cared about my needs. My experience with rehabilitation therapy was superb. The equipment was brand new and the therapists were well-trained and helpful. I was eager to go home, but will always appreciate Westminster Village North.

appointments on my calendar, except I didn’t have any. I went with red. The following morning, I got an “Invitation Update” in my e-mail as well as on my cell phone. It was a request by Auri to change the time of our Tuesday breakfast from 9 to 8:30. I agreed to the new time, telling him in a comment box that I was changing the color of our meeting from red to green. Included with the update was a link to MapQuest, informing me how long it would take to get to Starbucks from my house, which was either three, four, seven or eight minutes away, depending on which Starbucks I was going to. On Tuesday morning, I got another cell phone alert that my breakfast meeting was in half an hour. Then at 8:15, I was dinged again, warning that I only had 15 minutes to make it=. I rushed out the door, afraid that if I were late, news of my tardiness would go viral. I reached Starbucks at 8:25. Auri had not arrived yet. I bought a coffee and waited. And waited. I called his cell phone at 9:00 a.m. He answered right away. “Auri, where are you? I’m at Starbucks on 82nd,” I said. “Oh my gosh, was that today?” he said.
Now Sophie and I can enjoy that milkshake at my home again.

The Show, a tribute to ABBA, will perform Aug. 15 and 16 at the Marsh Symphony on the Prairie concert. The band, known as “Watertheatre loo,” has been singing tribute to the Swedish pop group since 1996 when performers Camilla Dahlin and Katja Nord asked original ABBA members Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson’s permission. ABBA was the first pop group from a nonEnglish speaking country to enjoy extremely high levels of fame in the American music scene. The Show now performs regularly with original ABBA members such as Andersson, Lasse Wellander, Janne Schaffer and Mats Ronander on guitar, Rutger Gunnarsson on bass and Roger Palm among others. Dahlin was originally featured in ABBA’s music video for “Thank You For the Music.” The Show has performed over 560 shows, four times as many as the original ABBA group. The group has sold out three times at the famous Hollywood Bowl venue. The Show tells a personalized tale of ABBA’s rise to success, beginning the performance with the end of the 1960’s, as original members Ulvaeus, Andersson, Lyngstad and Faltskog met to play for the first time.

Over the last 11 years I have given out more than 250 copies of my favorite book – The Success Principles by move the needle success coach and author Jack Canfield. Two years ago, I was blessed to spend a week with Jack, his staff and entrepreneurs from around the world. It was a great opportunity to learn new strategies for getting clear about what’s really important in our lives and achieving our goals. However, the most important lesson I took away from this week was very small. By that I mean, I learned (actually re-learned) that it’s the little things that always lead to the greatest successes. We are so tempted to chase after the “new, quick-fix solution” that we completely forget that it is always about the fundamentals. For example, I just visited Amazon.com to see which book would pop up when I searched the word “diet.” Guess what was the number one selection? The 17 Day Diet – A Doctor’s Design Planned for Results. Really? 17 days – are you kidding me? Every single person reading this article knows exactly how to lose weight. You eat less and exercise more. In fact, it’s even easier than that – all you need to do is burn more calories each day than you consume.
That’s it. But, it takes time. A lot more than 17 days. However, if you follow the basics, you will get the results you desire. For me, the lesson I learned was equally simple. There are a handful of daily rituals that always lead to a successful and purpose-driven day. They include daily gratitude, affirmations and meditation. I am certain that putting these simple behaviors back into practice will lead to amazing results. Unfortunately, I had abandoned them over the past few years and guess what happened? It’s the same thing that happens to your midsection when you eat fast food and skip the gym. I drifted back into bad habits and got less than desirable results. As soon as I got back to the office, I got back into the routine. I know that it will take time before I see results. In addition, I am certain that there will be days when I wonder if it’s worth the effort. Yet, I know that if I commit to the little things, I will reap the big rewards. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Residents of Indy’s Northside will now be able to benefit from Amazon’s latest endeavor of “Get It Today” delivery. The new business program began Aug. 6 in the metro areas of Baltimore, Dallas, Indianapolis, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. According to public relations consultant for Amazon Rachel Sorvig, more than one million items are eligible for same-day delivery. “Customers can order as late as noon, seven days a week and get things like popular movies, video games, last-minute travel needs, back-toschool supplies and family necessities delivered to their home the same day,” she stated. This program is only for Amazon Prime members, who will pay $5.99 for all the same-day delivery items they can order in one sitting. “Imagine how much time you will save now that you can get sunscreen, memory cards, toothpaste, hit movies, text books and HDMI cables all delivered to your home in hours, seven days
a week, in one order from Amazon,” said Greg Greeley, Vice President, Amazon Prime, “New convenient pricing also allows Prime members to fill up their same-day shopping cart with everything they may need for one low price. With more than a million eligible items, we aim to offer the largest same-day selection at the lowest price.” Customers who search or browse the Amazon product selection will find the “Get It Today” filter on the left-hand navigation panel, just below the “Amazon Prime” filter. They can select “Get It Today” and see only those items eligible for Same-Day Delivery. A similar “Get It by Tomorrow” filter will allow customers to discover millions of additional items that can be delivered the next day. Pricing for non-Prime customers remains unchanged, with a $9.98 fee for the first item and $0.99 for each additional item. Current wants to know: Will you use Amazon “Get It Today” delivery? Do you think it will be a successful launch in the Indy area? Send your thoughts to sophie@youarecurrent.com.

FOCUSING ON HEALTH IN HAMILTON COUNTY “STRONG is the new skinny” is a phrase Robanne Robin lives by. A certified Hip Hop instructor, this Hamilton County mother, author and nurse leads weekly classes at the Fishers and Fort Benjamin Harrison YMCAs, part of United Way’s network of agencies focused on health. Not long ago, Robanne would never have imagined herself in this role. She struggled with her weight as a teen and young adult, leading to bulimia and anorexia. After having three children, she weighed 300 pounds and was hospitalized twice with cardiovascular issues. In addition to her health problems, Robanne’s family faced financial difficulties when her husband lost his job. Afraid they couldn’t afford summer camp for their
children, Robanne talked with staff at the Fishers YMCA about their situation. With the help of its United Way funding, the Y was able to provide financial assistance, so the kids would have an enriching place to spend their summer. Soon her husband found a job, and Robanne decided to take control of her weight. Gastric bypass surgery pushed her in the right direction, but it didn’t fix the underlying problems. Working with her doctor, she changed her diet and started working out at the Fishers YMCA. Within 15 months, she lost 150 pounds! Now a half her starting weight, Robanne uses her experience to fight obesity by making exercise fun and encouraging kids to focus on strength and fitness, not size and weight. Thanks to your United Way support, people like Robane can be healthy, self-sufficient and help others achieve their health goals. Read more inspiring stories like Robanne’s at uwci.org.

Know contact lens limits
Helping kids start a new school From the IU Strength Blog
Q: Why do I need to throw away my contact lenses when they feel fine and I clean them every night? – Wayne J., Noblesville. A: I get this question all the time. There truly is a health reason for throwing away your contact lenses as your doctor has prescribed – even though they feel fine. Soft contact lenses are extremely porous. They are like sponges and soak up everything with which they come in contact. You may clean the surface of the lenses, but you cannot clean the pores in the lenses. When the pores get clogged, the contact lens is not as breathable. You may be wearing a very healthy and breathable contact lens, but if you are wearing them longer than the prescribed length of time, then you are not getting the oxygen to the cornea that is required for optimum health. This makes you more susceptible to infections, corneal ulcers and corneal edema, which can increase astigmatism. Most contact lenses today are one-day, two-week or monthly replacement lenses. If you are in a two-week replacement routine, throw them away on the first and 15th of each month; it’s much easier to remember that way. Even conventional daily wear contact New methods of detecting melanoma – A new addition has been added to the watch list in order to detect skin cancer. Severe pain and itchiness over a certain area of skin can possibly be correlated to a set of more fatal cancerous cells than melanoma according to a new study published in JAMA Dermatology. – Women’s Health
lenses need to be replaced on an annual basis for the same reasons. Tammy Wittmann, D.O., is the owner of Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Care. For more information, call 843-2020 or e-mail twittmann@wittmann2020.com.

The start of a new school year can be an exciting time, but for kids starting a new school, it can also be stress a time of anxiety. Whether your child is starting school for the first time, or you recently moved and have to switch schools, a new school can cause school-related separation anxiety or even school refusal. You can help make your child’s transition to a new school easier with these six tips: • Talk it up. List all the great things about your child’s new school, including special features that may be unique to the school. For example, a brand new science lab or a playground with lots of green space. • Reassure. Let your child know that her fears are completely normal and in fact many other children will be feeling exactly the same way on the first day of school. Knowing that she’s not alone will help ease her anxiety. • Get Familiar. Learn as much as you can about the school and your child’s routine before the first day. Visit the school and walk around. Play on the playground and look in classrooms and the lunchroom. Attend

the school’s open house to meet the teacher. • Do a practice run. Walk or drive the route to school or the bus stop a few days before school starts. Have your child wake up at the time they will need to on a school day to get familiar with the new routine. • Find Friends. Visit local parks or the library or ask around your neighborhood for kids who will be attending your child’s new school. Helping your child to meet other kids before school starts will give them some familiar faces to look forward to when school starts. • Get Involved. Encourage your child to join clubs or sports teams, which can be a great way to make friends quickly at a new school. In addition, get involved at the school yourself, by volunteering or attending school events. The first few weeks at a new school will be hard for even the most socialable child. Be patient and listen to your child’s concerns. Keep encouraging your child and stick to a routine. Before long, the new school will be old hat. If your child is still having trouble adjusting after several months, talk to the teachers and ask the school counselor for additional help.

Thirteenth-century Clock Tower in Orvieto, Italy. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Orvieto: Piazzas and Popes
Commentary by Don Knebel
The small Italian city of Orvieto (“Old City”) was founded by the Etruscans atop a butte formed from soft volcanic rock. The sides of the butte are so steep that a funicular now travel takes visitors from the train station and parking lots to the city 700 feet above. Because of its secure location, lying along the road between Florence and Rome, medieval Popes often lived in Orvieto and the city reflects that history. The most visible evidence of papal influence is Orvieto’s cathedral, located on the main square and unexpectedly large for a city of only 10,000. The cathedral is one of the most colorful in Europe, with horizontal stone striping both inside and out and a façade lavishly covered with paintings and mosaics. Dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, builders started construction of the cathedral in 1290 and continued for hundreds of years. One chapel in the cathedral features frescoes of the Apocalypse by Luca Signorelli, the inspiration for Michelangelo’s famous “Last Judgment” in the Sistine Chapel. Another chapel houses a communion cloth stained when the host began bleeding, convincing a skeptical
priest in the nearby town of Bolsena that the consecrated bread really did become the body of Jesus. Persistent claims that the entire cathedral was built to celebrate this “miracle of Bolsena” are not true and skeptics assert the stains came from bread mold. In 1527, Pope Clement VII escaped to Orvieto during the sack of Rome by mutinous forces once loyal to Emperor Charles V. Fearing a siege, the Pope ordered construction of the 175-feet deep St. Patrick’s Well, named for an Irish legend that deep wells provide access to Purgatory. The central shaft is surrounded by two helixes allowing donkeys (and modern visitors) to pass each other as they travel up and down fetching water. Pleasant cafes in the car-free piazzas of Orvieto feature the wines for which the city is famous. Shops feature ceramics, made in Orvieto since the days of the Etruscans. An afternoon in Orvieto, a short train ride from Rome, is an ideal respite from the bustle of the Eternal City. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Like people, a little maintenance is required Commentary by Randy Sorrell This Villages of West Clay project was installed almost a decade ago and it was time for a little maintenance. Gratefully, the homeowner connected with us and we emindoors ployed a friendly cleanser on the Belgard tumbled red pavers that promptly added vigor to them and accentuated the color, particularly after the fresh dressing of tan polymeric sand in the joints. The three pergolas and lanais received a new coat of paint and both grill counters got a little love too with touched up grout between the ceramic tiles. The fireplace has been protected enough and didn’t need attention but the stream and pond needed about an hour’s work. Amazing what pollution, acid rain and regular use causes. TIMELESS OBJECTIVES Our objectives of the original design remain relevant. Creating shade was a huge driver and prompted the multiple structures, as was a formal fire feature. Compelling landscaping that is low maintenance, offers loads of color and four seasons of interest (our “landscape triple threat”) was essential but not as dramatic as the influence the naturalized stream and small pond commanded. NOSTALGIC More fruitful were the stories and memories that Chuck re-lived with me. How he often finds himself casually working under the lanais mak-

ing calls and doing business. The happy, now almost grown, kids and beautiful wife have loved the patios and of course the fireplace is a definite crowd pleaser. Walkers on the nearby path often stop and admire the space. So do I. After 21 years of creating incredible living spaces we have learned a few things. Like humans, a little maintenance is occasionally required and more compelling. Properly designed and built spaces have the capacity to dramati-
cally influence how we live, entertain and even work. We expect this outdoor lifestyle to flourish and have a healthy generational influence.

The benefits of a ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom Commentary by David Decker School is starting up once again, which means it’s time to get back into the routine of getting up and ready in the mornings. And as anyone who grew up with siblings can indoors attest, having multiple children share a bathroom can sometimes create a difficult situation. Most mornings it can seem like everyone needs to use the bathroom at the exact same time, leading to squabbles, hassles and running late. If you are looking for a new solution, a Jack and Jill bathroom may be the perfect addition to your home. “Jack and Jill” is the common term for a shared bathroom that is connected to separate bedrooms. If welldesigned, a Jack and Jill can increase the privacy and functionality of your children’s shared bathroom. And it may help them make the bus on time with fewer grumpy interactions. Privacy is the main benefit of a Jack and Jill bathroom. The best Jack and Jill designs feature a layout that separates the various areas of the bathroom, like the toilet, shower and sink areas. Clearly separate these areas with doors, so that multiple people are able to be in the bathroom at once. This way, one child can be taking a shower while another brushes his teeth, without having to compromise any privacy. Jack and Jills also generally feature separate amenities that allow each child to have their own space in the bathroom. Most homeowners
otherwise get thrown on the floor. Ample amounts of storage will cut down on clutter and ensure that each sibling knows where his or her toiletries are located. The best part about Jack and Jill bathrooms are the added space that they afford you. In terms of measurement, Jack and Jills tend to take up more space than the average bathroom. If you choose to A “Jack and Jill” can increase the privacy and functionality of your chilremodel the space, you’ll dren’s shared bathroom. (Submitted photo) have more flexibility. Once the kids move away, you can transform your choose to install two sinks, two mirrors and functional Jack and Jill into a luxurious guest two linen closets. Doubling up on the bathroom bathroom (although I’m sure that seems like a necessities helps cut down on crowding and faraway day for many parents). makes it easier to share.
