Solar eclipse: what you need to know

news@currentinfishers.com

On Aug. 21, all of North America – as well as parts of South America, Europe and Africa – will, weather astronomy permitting, be able to view a partial eclipse of the sun. In Indiana, there will be a partial eclipse with 91 percent totality, beginning at approximately 2:25 p.m. and lasting approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes. A total eclipse will be viewable to the select 12.2 million Americans living within the path of totality, a 70-mile band stretching across 14 states from Oregon to South Carolina. To view the eclipse safely, people need special eclipse glasses. Some libraries, science and astronomy clubs and historical societies are offering the glasses free. Alternatively, you can purchase them online, but be careful to only get products that comply with the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard for filters for direct viewing of the sun. It is not safe to view the eclipse with regular sunglasses.

This red line on this map from NASA shows spots across America that will experience the eclipse in complete totality. (Submitted image)

If using a telescope, make certain the appropriate filter is in place before pointing it at the sun. NASA live-streaming NASA will host an Eclipse Megacast, providing unique coverage of the astronomical event that will include commentary from scientists and the public, as well as live footage of the phenomenon. The Megacast will be broadcast on NASA TV, as well as a number of other TV stations, and can also be accessed online at nasa.gov/eclipselive. The next total solar eclipse viewable in North America won’t occur until 2024.

“The users of the roads are going to be paying for the roads,” Schaibley said. The Hamilton County funding for the next five years is nearly $33.5 million, beginning with nearly $8.9 million in 2018. A total of 33 lane miles will be resurfaced and 20 bridges are set to be repaired or replaced. “It’s one of the lower counties as far as dollar amount allotment, but we’ve had a tremendous amount of dollars put in Hamilton County over the past several years with the State Road 37 interchange, the I-69 improvements and State Road 31 upgrades,” Schaibley said. Since the state has made significant investments in Hamilton County over the past few years, it’s important that we invest in infrastructure all throughout the state. We want the state roads to be safe for our community.” Schaibley said Boone County is receiving more than $64.3 million for improvements over the next five years. It starts with $18.4 million in 2018. The five-year impact will be 128 lane miles resurfaced and 12 bridges rehabilitated or replaced. “Some of the major projects are I-65, I-74 and I-865 projects,” Schaibley said. “These projects carry expensive price tags and they are very important for traffic.” For more, visit in.gov/indot/div/nextlevel/.

Teacher visits Space Academy

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Derek Dial has been interested in space since he was a kid. At 36, the Clay Middle education School teacher finally arrived at space camp. Dial was selected to attend the Honeywell Educators at Space Academy at the United States Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville. Ala. Dial, a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) teacher at Clay Middle School, made an application in November 2016 and learned he was selected two months later. “It was like applying for a grant. It was a pretty rigorous set of questions that I had to answer,” said Dial, who moved from Westfield to Fishers in January. “We had to write essays on how we are going to use the experience. They choose 200 teachers out of the world to go, and I was the only one selected from Indiana.” Dial credited fellow Clay teacher Michelle Nelson, who previously attended the Space Academy, for motivating him to apply. Dial spent 45 hours in a lab and classroom in the camp from June 22 to 26.

“It was a heck of an experience, a oncein-a-lifetime shot,” Dial said. “The best part was getting to actually collaborate and work with other teachers from around the world inside simulators and classroom instruction. The main mission of the training is to regain our passion for space and travel and try to engage our students by telling them stories.” Dial said they can share with their students the different kinds of careers available in the space industry.

Fishers Department of Public Works creates tool used for field status By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com After seeing a use of its Twitter handle @fishersfields, the Fishers Dept. of Public Works created an online athletics tool for parents and athletes to view field statuses throughout the community. The tool was incorporated into the city’s website at fishers.in.us/fieldstatus. The tool informs users if one of the 114 athletic fields the DPW manages is open or closed, mostly because of inclement weather. “The Twitter account was working for us well, but there was more of a need from residents and stakeholders for something more real-time,” Assistant Director of Public Works Sean O’Grady said. “We used the existing technology we already have with the city and created a live mapping sequence that allows our workers in the field to open or close the field at the click of a button.” Although the site went live July 21, the city is waiting to widely publicize it until

kids are back to their school routines. “This is a great tool if families are inviting people from other communities to a game but weather is shaky,” Assistant PR Director Casey Cawthon said. “Primarily (it is used) to communicate weather-related closure. It gives a nice update on the status of the field and lets people plan accordingly.” Jeff Lantz, a member of the board of directors for HSE Football, tested the tool before it launched. “I thought it was great. The Twitter (version) was OK, but this is a great evolution from that into a real-time status update from the city on what’s opened, what’s closed,” Lantz said. “It’s very easy for users to find what they’re looking for.”

Terry Moore spent time in the military and realized the meaning of home when he returned to Indiana. (Submitted photos)

Wickens creates Back Home INdiana Project By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Eric Wickens has an extensive background using his voice. In 2016, he was selected as the official voice for the Indy Fuel, performing the national anthem prior to cover story the Fuel’s home hockey games. In 2013, he created a song-video compilation on his album, "Comfort." He sang “Be Still My Soul” while people shared stories of finding peace during hardship. His new project takes on a similar approach. “What sparked the idea came from a suggestion of making a video of ‘Back Home Again in Indiana’ with me singing it along with the soundtrack and just putting it out there on YouTube trying to get some interest,” said Wickens, a 48-year-old Fishers resident. “Last year, I was trying to look for other opportunities to get myself out there and get my voice out there, and one of the suggestions made was doing a video with the ‘Back Home Again in Indiana’ song. “It wasn’t a bad idea, but it didn’t seem very interesting. I was talking to a friend and asked, ‘What would it be like if I did that song but added something with more meaning to it?’” Wickens took that suggestion and ran with it, deciding to complete something similar to his “Be Still My Soul” compilation

and include video of people explaining why Indiana is home to them and why they returned to the state if they moved away. A kick-off event was recently held at the District Tap in Indianapolis, where he invited the public to tell their stories. Approximately 40 people attended. “We can take this project and use it as a possible hub for people to share why Indiana is their home and why they’re proud of their home,” Wickens said. Tony Fannin, a friend of Wickens’ and owner of Be Branded, will compile all visual graphics for Wickens’ plan. “What we are really trying to promote is a bigger picture. Indianapolis is not really seen as a first choice or well-known as having a really great thriving local flavor,” Fannin said. “There’s a lot of talent and a lot of local businesses here on par with the Nashville, Minneapolis and Seattles of the world. We are trying to counteract the stereotype.” Wickens plans to launch a Kickstarter page to raise funds for the completion of his video. He said approximately $8,000 would complete the video. As of press time, his Kickstarter page had not launched. More information can be found on the Back Home INdiana Project Facebook page. He has no other interviewing events planned but might schedule more as his project progresses.

Terry Moore’s thoughts on Eric Wickens

Eric Wickens’ Back Home INdiana Project kick-off event at The District Tap called to Terry Moore and his own reasons why he returned to Indiana after spending time away. He shared the story of how he joined the military when he was younger, and it took him far from home. When he returned, things were different but he still found that feeling of home. “I had that homesick feeling for three years, and then I come home and it’s not the same anymore,” Moore said. “What happened was when I grew up, my family had season tickets to the Fort Wayne Komets hockey (games), and they had the same radio announcer, Bob Chase, for 63 years. The team started in 1953 and I was born in 1954, so all my childhood I grew up going to these games, and that place was kind of a really happy memory of childhood. When I heard Bob Chase calling the game and went to Komets games, that was like all of a sudden I was back home again after all this time. So that feeling that home is gone, all of sudden it was back. Indiana is home.”

Approximately 40 people attended Eric Wickens’ first Back Home in INdiana event.

o b s e r v a tion Bad press Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The axiom asserts “that no press is bad press.” Said in more modern parlance, it would argue that no attention, favorable or unfavorable, that one may find can be detrimental. By extension, it might claim that the news, in itself, cannot cause harm unless the object of it mishandles the event. So, let’s imagine an application. One commits an epic failure – we poison our customers, lie to the camera or transgress some modern social trend. Do we fail at the moment of the firestorm, or do we fail only as the news cycle unwinds? Is it in our handling of the facts more than the facts? We consumers of modern information are eager to sit in judgment. The daily Twitter feed dispenses the “truth” in 144 characters. We commit to a point of view based in very limited and often fully imperfect information. Then, as more material is uncovered, or released, our positions ripen. Do we live in an age when the actual news of our transgressions is less important than how we manage to spin the follow-up story? The media has become a tool to be used, manipulated and relied upon to nudge our perceptions to one point of view or another. A recent study shows that the bulk of some voters have determined that contemporary American universities are causing harm. One Sunday morning news outlet decried the deplorable view that education is bad. The next news outlet asserted that although no one thinks education is bad, the current state of university leadership has failed. Both networks had identical data. How can they be so far-flung in their commentary? Are we being intentionally manipulated? If so, to what end? Will the mud ever settle in a spinning pool?

My husband, Doo, spent the weekend with his family while I stayed to prepare for the school week. When I called humor to check in, he told me about the debate he’d had with his siblings the night before: Should women stay at home with kids? Ironically, I was in the process of buying new clothes for work (at my favorite consignment store, of course. I’m a teacher!). “Please tell me you were on my side!” I said, feeling defensive even though the conversation was over. He had been, but he was the only one. Everyone else felt that women shouldn’t work while their kids were young. I was appalled, and not just because I’m reading “The Handmaid’s Tale.” How can we be in 2017 and still have such a traditional view of motherhood? I suppose given the political climate, it’s not surprising, but I thought we’d at least come far enough to recognize that what’s best for children is what’s best for the parents. Mom wants to stay at home? More power to her! Mom wants to go back to work? You go, girl! Dad decides he’s ready for domestic bliss? Woot! Woot! Nirvana for all! Personally, I was not cut out to keep toddlers alive and entertained for 10 to 12 hours a day. I couldn’t handle the monotony and loneliness of constantly discussing Barbie’s wardrobe options with a preschooler. Although financial considerations kept me home for many years (teacher, remember?), I couldn’t wait to return to the classroom. And when I finally did, I became a much better mother. Let’s try and support all moms, wherever they decide to be. Peace out.

One-way processes Commentary by Melkote Ramaswamy Trying to put toothpaste back into the tube is only one classic opinion example of an irreversible process. It is a cinch to take out tissues from a box. Putting them back – in case you took out too many – is something else. Same thing with a napkin dispenser, especially the ones you find in a pizzeria. It is impossible to pack your suitcase the same way it was before the customs officer ransacked it. You may not mind the inconvenience so long as you didn’t have to pay any customs. When you reverse your car, it is nearly impossible to go back the same way you came forward. I know many have scratched their side view mirrors while backing up from their garages. I feel jittery when I have to reverse in one of the quick oil change places with an underground ditch. A staple once removed is useless, So, too, is a tight-fitted paper clip. It is

easy to climb a staircase or escalator going up. Going backward is indeed a challenge. Microphones and loudspeakers are examples of one-way devices. You speak into one and hear through the other. The irreversible world extends to the human domain as well. We may be good speakers but poor listeners and vice versa. We are all good at giving advice but taking is another matter. In baseball, a good pitcher is not necessarily a good catcher. We all love to eat and comment but few can cook. We may be connoisseurs of music but lousy singers. We all love to edit but very few are good writers. Wouldn’t life be nice if things worked both ways … like a zipper? Melkote Ramaswamy, a Westfield resident, is a physicist, writer, speaker and author of “An Immigrant celebrates America” (University of Indianapolis Press, 2007).

The Ropkey Armor Museum closed last week after more than 30 years. The founder, military historian humor Fred Ropkey, passed away four years ago. As a tribute, I am re-running my column from 2013. Fred Ropkey was no fan of war, yet he knew that every tank, aircraft and piece of artillery he recovered was a work of exquisite design — and represented the thousands of lives that had been lost or saved. His parents gave him a World War 1 sword and a Civil War pistol belonging to his great-grandfather. At age 16 he bought an armored World War II scout car and drove it to school. He stood up in the auditorium at Pike High School the day after Pearl Harbor and “reported” the Japanese attack to his fellow students. He would later serve during the Korean conflict as a battalion commander. Fred’s collection of arms grew over the years, and he stowed his acquisitions on the sprawling 100 acres of family land in Indianapolis. At the time, the idea was to simply find a place to restore those treasures — more a warehouse than a showcase. In

Imagine your home, totally organized!

2005, Fred moved everything to Crawfordsville, signaling a new vision. “Who would think that a little pole barn on a 50-acre cornfield in Crawfordsville could change so many lives?” Fred wondered. It became the Ropkey Armor Museum. Fred and Lani fully realized the impact the collection had on people. “Are you familiar with that tank?” he once asked an older man as he examined the vehicle. “I practically lived in it,” said the World War II veteran, revealing he had not seen his “old girl” in 40 years. “Thank you,” he said to Fred. “My life has now come full circle.” Later, the veteran retreated to a hotel room with a bottle of bourbon and wrote an entire account of his experiences, those notes now part of the museum’s Wall of Heroes. At the end of his life, he chose not to share his plight with others, instead enduring his cancer pain privately. It was the one battle Fred Ropkey did not want to talk about.

A new salon featuring a blowout bar is bringing the glitz and glamor of Hollywood to Fishers. new biz Celebrity Style Salon and Spa, 11691 Olio Rd. near the intersection of 116th Street, had its grand opening July 31. The salon offers a wide range of salon and spa services, including Fishers’ first blowout bar. Rachel Rose, owner and founder of Celebrity Style Salon and Spa, is a lifelong Fishers resident with nine years of experience styling hair. After asking what her clients wanted out of a salon, she decided to open her own and is committed to creating a relaxing, luxurious atmosphere. “Our main concept is the service,” Rose said. “We want people to come in feeling like they got a unique experience.” That unique experience, and the salon’s main draw, is the blowout bar, where women can have their hair styled while enjoying a drink with friends in what Rose described as a “rustic and upscale environment.” “It’s where women can come in and get a drink - a mimosa, wine - and get your

hair shampooed,” Rose said. “They can have a service where they feel pampered and pretty.” The mimosas and wine are on hold as the salon waits for its alcohol license. In the meantime, Rose said she’s offering an environment that fosters community, whether it’s for a wedding, an anniversary or just relaxing. “We’re creating an experience,” Rose

said. “They leave feeling like a friend.” Celebrity Style Salon and Spa sells the same styling products used in the store, so customers can get a similar experience at home. “We really are a one-stop shop,” she said. Celebrity Style Salon and Spa is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more, call 317-598-5002.

On Aug. 21, from approximately 11:50 a.m. to 3 p.m., the moon will pass in front of the sun, causing temporary twivision light in the middle of the day. A solar eclipse of that magnitude has not occurred since 1945. In Carmel and Westfield, approximately 91 percent of the sun will be covered. Therefore, in order to see this once-in-a-lifetime event – OK, maybe twice-in-a-lifetime event - safely and comfortably, you will need to prepare. The eye is essentially a high-powered magnifying glass, focusing light onto your retina. When you look at the sun, that powerful energy is focused perfectly onto your delicate retina. It does not take long to generate irreparable burns. Although your favorite sunglasses may block 100 percent of harmful UV light, they are still not rated to stare at the sun. “Eclipse glasses” look much like the paper 3-D glasses at the movies, and will only cost you around $2.20 per pair at Amazon.

com or Walmart. Beware of imposters; a truly safe pair of eclipse glasses will be “ISO 12312-2 Certified,” and will say so on the package. Regardless of what the label says, if it does not display this exact ISO certification, keep looking. It’s not worth the risk. If you want to see a total solar eclipse, where the sun is completely covered by the moon, head five hours south to Nashville, Tenn. Filtering glasses are still required there, but during the two minutes of “totality,” viewers can safely remove their filters. I am a big nerd when it comes to galaxies, stars and the incredible vastness of space. The eclipse next month is beyond exciting and you will not want to miss it, but please plan and don’t let a three-hour event damage your eyes forever.

ia Morris had quite the memorable month of July. Morris, a 13-year-old rock drummer, played her second Summerfest appearance with her fellow School of Rock Fishers band members in early July in Milwaukee. “Ever since last Summerfest, I’ve been looking forward to it,” she said. “It’s always such a blast because you get to play on stage in front of big audiences. You meet other people from bands across the world, and it’s a great experience all around.” After seeing her YouTube videos, she was invited by The Ataris, an Anderson band with a national following, to play a song with the band on stage July 20 at Noblesville’s Klipsch Music Center as part of the Vans Warped Tours. She played on their hit cover song of Don Henley’s “The Boys of Summer.” “It was amazing,” Morris said. “The Ataris were so nice, and I got to meet a lot of musicians. The crowd was pretty big.” She had never rehearsed with them. “There was no sound check. I just went on stage and played with them,”

Morris said. Then to cap July off, Morris moved with her family from Indianapolis to Nashville, Tenn., to help her and her brother, Fritz, pursue their major interests. Their mother, Debbie Morris, said the family is moving so her daughter can pursue her music and Fritz, who is starting high school, can play more baseball games in the warmer climate. Morris, who has been at the School of Rock for two years, will start seventh grade in Nashville. She plans to continue

in the School of Rock in Nashville. Even before she moved, Morris began taking lessons in Nashville from former Frank Zappa and Genesis drummer Chester Thompson and G. Love & Special Sauce drummer Jeffrey Clemens. Morris, who loves alternative and classic rock, started playing the drums three years ago. “At first, I played the piano for awhile, but it wasn’t my thing,” Morris said. “My neighbor had a drum set and I started messing around on it and then I got more serious about it.”

As co-founder of the Improbable Fiction Theatre Company, Ryan Shelton has a mission. “Our goal is to bring musical Shakespeare to more people,” Shelton said. The company will present “Much Ado About Nothing” Aug. 18 to Aug. 27 at The Cat, 254 1st Ave. SW, Carmel. Shelton, a Noblesville resident, founded the group with Jeff Bick, Noblesville, and Christy Clinton, Fishers. The group started to do theater together at The Belfry in Noblesville. The trio then put on Noblesville’s Shakespeare in the Park for four years. “This is our fifth show but the first all our own,” Shelton said. “When we did Shakespeare in the Park, it was through Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission. We are setting this in the Civil War era, so we say general, colonel and captain. Everything else is exactly as Shakespeare wrote it. Our Shakespeare is really relatable to audiences.

Blueprint for Improvement: Whole house remodel at Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

Before

Background Info: This 1970s Geist-area home is set on a serene and wooded lot. The home itself, however, needed a major renovation to suit the owners’ needs and make it a better fit with its surroundings.

The goal was to redevelop the interior space and re-imagine the home’s style so the couple could enjoy it for many years to come! 1. One of the main modifications included removing the wall between the kitchen and front room. This created a central space for everyday life and gatherings. 2. Another significant change converted two small bedrooms and a bathroom into a main-level master suite with a walk-in closet and walk-in shower. 3. The new front porch created both a comfortable place to enjoy the wooded surroundings and also added visual interest to the front façade of the home. 4. Additional changes included relocating the laundry room to create a new half bath, new mudroom storage, updated stair railing and sunroom aesthetics, improved lighting plan and a new front entry door. For many additional details, visit our blog!

After

Before problems: Many areas of the home needed updated. The closed-off kitchen lacked storage and a sufficient dining space. There was no adequate master suite. The entry from the garage had a surplus of doors opening into the space and a lack of functional storage. The front façade desperately needed better curb appeal.

DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES BUILDING LOW-MAINTENANCE HOMES IN NEW URBANISM COMMUNITY OF THE VILLAS AT SAXONY Indianapolis, IN (August 8, 2017): David Weekley Homes, the nation’s largest privately-held home builder, is building low-maintenance two- and three-story homes in the Fishers community of The Villas at Saxony, and recently released seven new homesites in a new section of the community. Located at 131st Street and Minden Drive, this intimate community of 75 homesites utilizes smart growth principles of New Urbanism by offering walkability between homes and green spaces, along with restaurants and entertainment. “We are excited to be building in such a unique community as The Villas at Saxony,” said Michael Luedke, Division President with David Weekley Homes in Indianapolis. “This is a great option for homebuyers who want to have convenient access to everything they need within walking distance to home.” Residents have access to a variety of amenities, including the 20-acre Saxony Lake with public beach, green spaces, and outdoor courtyard with a fireplace and outdoor pergola. There are also several natural, wooded areas and walking paths, along with Zimmer and Witner Parks within walking distance. During the summer, residents can take part in the many outdoor events such as concerts and a farmers’ market inside the community, with Rails Craft Brewery & Eatery and Jack’s Donuts located in The Villas at Saxony.
