Pastor worships on the water By John Cinnamon • news@currentinfishers.com And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the faith Son of God.” - Matthew 14: 32-33 Geist Reservoir and the Sea of Galilee are a world apart. But for Reverend Russell Allanson, the concept is the same – worshiping the Lord from a boat on the water. For the last two months, Rev. Allanson has led a late Saturday afternoon church service – on the water – from a boat near the Fall Creek Road bridge. The inspiration for what he calls Worship on the Water was simple. “There is a deep desire to share the good news of Jesus Christ in every way possible,” says Allanson, Lead Pastor and Founder of The Promise Church at 12648 E. 116th St., Fishers. That inspiration, however, didn’t come to the pastor himself. Rusty (as he is known) credits the idea to two of his church members: Steve Ramos and Wade Walker. “They began to ask what could be done to
ON THE WEB
reach others who had boats but not any church affiliation,” said Allanson, and Worship on the Water was born. “At the first Worship on the Water, Pastor Rusty told us that it was befitting to have a service on the water,” explained Ramos, “because many of the stories of Jesus were either on the water or near it. Pretty cool.” Every Saturday at 5 p.m., those wishing to join the service gather their boats and anchor in a shallow area near the bridge. Music is part of the service, with familiar hymns sung at the beginning and end. They haven’t quite worked out the logistics of communion, so that will come later. So far, attendance has reached 59 people in its best week. “We’ve also had a number of persons interrupt their walking across the bridge to listen,” said Allanson. Pastor Rusty says Worship on the Water will continue at least through the end of August. An evaluation will be made at that time about continuing this season, but he does plan for a full launch again early next summer.

Brooks hosts health panel
By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com
Congresswoman Susan Brooks (R-IN5) cohosted a listening session Aug. 7 on the 21st Century Cures initiative government with the Indiana Health Industry Forum, BioCrossroads, Hoosiers for Health, and the Indiana Medical Device Manufactures Council at Roche Diagnostics. The 21st Century Cures initiative is led by the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee. This new initiative looks to find ways to accelerate medical breakthroughs by taking a comprehensive look at three key points – discovery, development and delivery. The goal is to close the gap between the science of creating new cures and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory policies that slow the process. The committee is holding hearings and meetings to find solutions – with the idea that no idea is too small to discuss. After Roche Diagnostics Corporation Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Wayne Burris opened the meeting, Brooks began with an overview of the importance of the initiative to those constituents she represents in her eightcounty district. “The life science sector is critical to our state and to our country, quite frankly. The average wage in the life science sector is $89,000 while the average (yearly) wage is in the private sec-

tor is $41,000,” said Brooks. “But life science is not just about giving people jobs, but also about making people healthier, or helping with health needs not in just this country but abroad.” The 17-member roundtable panel included representatives from Indiana-based medical device manufacturing companies, research and development corporations, and patient advocacy groups. “As a new member of congress, I’m concerned about what we are seeing with respect to policies that are possibly diminishing our place as a leader in life sciences in the world,” said Brooks. Brooks asked two questions to open the discussion: How can government help and how can government change what is hindering the development of cures? Brooks will take input she received at the listening session back to the committee in Washington, D.C.
Heroin is an increasing concern Commentary by Larry Lannan
Even in a community like Fishers, often honored as one of the safest places in the nation, there are problems. That goes with being a suburb next door to a city the PLAIN TALK size of Indianapolis. I started to hear stories about an increase in the use of heroin around the Fishers area. I went to the Fishers Police Dept. for answers. Lieutenant Cameron Ellison, of the Fishers Police Investigations Division, says he found an increase in heroin use in the Fishers area about two-and-a-half years ago. Lately, he says, there has been a local “uptick” in heroin use. At one time, Fishers police officers would occasionally run across heroin use in investigating a crime. Now, Ellison says, it happens almost daily. Although there are more heroin users in Fishers, Lt. Ellison finds the drugs are normally purchased outside Fishers then brought to the local community. He calls this a law enforcement challenge, because it requires several law enforcement agencies to work together on these investigations. What makes this even harder to quantify is the fact that thefts and burglaries are often tied to supporting a drug habit like heroin. Those charged with these crimes do not always tell authorities that their criminal behavior is tied to a drug addiction. What makes heroin a particularly dangerous
drug is how quickly the addiction begins, unlike other chemical substances where the habit is acquired slowly, over time. With heroin addictions, according to Ellison, “…once these people experience the high, they’re hooked.” What can parents do in looking for danger signs with their children? Lt. Ellison draws upon his experience on the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. “If they’re your kids, you need to be in their business,” says Ellison. “You need to know what they’re doing, who they’re with, who those people are and what they’re into.” Ellison knows some people in Fishers are saying we are experiencing a heroin epidemic, like the national crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s. “I don’t know that you would call what we’re seeing now an epidemic,” Ellison says. “I know some people have. Certainly, we’re working in that direction.” Based on my talk with Lt. Ellison, I took away some important facts. Heroin use is increasing locally and is likely tied to an uptick in burglaries and thefts in Fishers. Parents need to keep an eye on their children for any danger signs.

“I knew Tom was stubborn enough to overcome the setbacks of his stroke, he just needed the right encouragement.”
Tom’s recovery from the stroke was challenging for both of us. I never doubted that he would walk again—I worried about finding him the best care possible. I was immediately comfortable with the caring staff at Westminster Village North. With each visit, I saw Tom getting stronger. The therapist constantly encouraged him, and kept me involved in his care. Before long, Tom was back on his feet, thanks to his determination and the wonderful staff that treated us like family.

Birth boot camp prepares parents
20% -75% OFF ALL SUMMER CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES
By Chris Bavender • news@currentinfishers.com Watch a childbirth on TV or in a movie and it – more often than not – seems to be a negative experience for the mom-to-be. parenting But midwife Brandi Wood said a birth boot camp could be the answer. “The whole goal of birth boot camp is to inform the couple of what will happen from the pregnancy to the labor to the birth,” the Fishers based Wood said. “It really fits in well with home birth philosophy. And, it encourages relationship building with other couples who are doing this at same time with you which I think is the awesome part of it.” Wood is one of just three certified Birth Boot Camp instructors in the state. Bekah Smith is also based in Fishers, while Cara Mehlon teaches out of her Carmel home. They are among the 106 certified instructors across the country. Birth Boot Camp is an online and instructorled childbirth education method created in Texas by Donna Ryan. “In the last decade we have seen a trend toward families wanting to have more say in their birth,” Ryan said. “The training and curriculum we provide our instructors gives them the tools to help couples in their hometown have the amazing birth experience they desire.” Birth Boot Camp sessions are 10-weeks long and cost $300. Each session is two hours long.

“We cover prenatal exercise, nutrition, the common discomforts of pregnancy as well as also the different positions for labor and birthing,” Wood said. “Tension leads to pain so the more knowledge they have then the less unknown there is and the less scared they will be.” Wood’s first birth boot camp session started Aug. 16 but it’s not too late to sign up. “There are ways to make classes up if you can’t be there in person for a few,” she said.

Making that change to a new career can seem overwhelming. The desire is there, however, the problem may be lack of experilearning ence, certain skills or putting together a résumé. The transition from high school to college may be just as hard for students that need to learn study skills, gain acceptance into the universities of their choice, and figure out what they want to do for the rest of their lives. Dr. Anna Graf Williams of Fishers has created a system to help with these transitions. As president and cofounder of Learnovation, LLC, Williams has developed software, pamphlets and written books to help individuals succeed. “We come alongside people and support them making the changes needed by helping them understand their skills, knowledge, abilities, and rare talents so they can target their education and training for gainful employment,” she said. “We use a proprietary formula with our software and to help the person identify what education, training or additional experience is needed to fulfill expectations for the targeted position. “Most people think it is a guess – when it really is a science. Our proprietary GAP Analysis works for careers and tasks. In addition, the system shows how experience from community service can transfer successfully into a career. “This is especially a great way to document

Train station in Fishers is being demolished and only the platform will remain to make room for The Switch mixeduse building. (Submitted photo)
Train station comes down; The Switch goes up news@currentinfishers.com Just when you thought downtown Fishers couldn’t be any more torn up, news arrives that phase two of the Nickel Plate District construction redevelopment has begun. Phase two consists of construction of The Switch and demolition of the current train station building. The Switch project includes a 33,000 square foot office building, a 400-space parking garage wrapped with apartments and mixed-use space, and a pedestrian train plaza. The iconic Fishers train platform will remain in place, but will be en-
hanced for better ADA accessibility and to accommodate future mass transit needs. On Aug. 4, the Town Council approved plans to include community space in the first floor of the new mixed-use space. Plans could include a meeting room, public restrooms and a ticket booth for the Indiana Transportation Museum. Construction is expected to last through the fall of 2015. According to a press release from the Town of Fishers, The Nickel Plate District embodies the Town of Fishers’ vision to attract innovative businesses and a quality of life that brings creative, entrepreneurial talent while maintaining the longterm sustainability of the local economy.

Business perspective of construction Commentary by Jeanette Kassebaum
When friends ask me how my summer is going, I tell them I am surviving. You see, I have spent the summer practicing law in my office in downtown Fishers in the midst of orange barricades, beeping viewpoint dump trucks, growling front end loaders, teeth grinding jack hammers, dust (lots of dust) and the dreaded roller which creates a mini earthquake each time it passes my building. All of this construction on Maple Street and in front of the Fishers Town Hall is part of the Town Council’s plan to create a more vibrant downtown. More places for residents to live, work, shop and dine. There are certainly exciting aspects about this redevelopment plan dubbed Fishers 2030 and I truly hope it meets with great success. Many residents have embraced the redevelopment effort and are already walking and biking more to the downtown area. However, the project has not been without some controversy in the local business community. When Fishers 2030 was unveiled, there was a touch of hysteria, followed by rumors, confusion, then group meetings and individual discussions with Town officials. Most folks simply wanted to know if and how the construction was going to affect their business. We dealt with lots of questions about access, safety, utilities, and uncertainty while trying to run our businesses. For many of us, we are dedicated to serving this community and wanted to stay in the downtown area.
As the construction plans geared up, several professional offices on Lantern Road and Maple Street were faced with relocation to make room for a new road. It was gut wrenching for some of these owners and opened new opportunities for others. I hated losing my trusted neighbors and friends. In making my own decision to stay, I spent hours with my team of experts to plan my survival strategy. This included installing a temporary entrance and sidewalk, directional signage, putting up caution tape and security cameras. There is no doubt that the businesses that remain, like me, will continue to wrestle with remaining downtown or leaving so that new, more modern structures can be built. Throughout the summer, I have learned that construction in the name of progress is both ugly and hopeful. It not only creates upheaval of the road, sidewalks, and dirt, but also stirs up human emotions, motives, tempers and opinions. But every day as the project takes shape, I wonder if the future holds something far better for most of the businesses in the downtown area. I also realize that as Fishers 2030 continues to evolve, there will be friction between those who want things to stay the same and others who clamor for change. For me, I am surviving and hope to continue to be part of the downtown Fishers business community. Jeanette Kassebaum is an HSE graduate and has been an attorney in Fishers since 1991.

Consignment sale is back By Mackenzie Klahr • news@currentinfishers.com A seasonal consignment sale is looking to bring in roughly 50,000 items and save parents lots of money with rates up kids sale to 90 percent off department store prices. The Indy Kids Sale, which takes place twice a year in March and September at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, has items parents need at a much lower cost. Lori Chandler of Fishers, is the sale’s organizer. She sees the low prices as the beauty of the sale. “We have so many families that are literally spending nothing on their kids items because they are buying them used and are bringing them back the next year,” Chandler said. The sale, which is made up of registered consignors must bring in a minimum of 30 items and they then receive 65 to 70 percent of their profits. Unlike typical consignment stores, the consignors have the opportunity to price their own items and the option to work the sale in order to earn higher percentage rates back. Chandler, who started out as a shopper, eventually became a consignor before taking over the business in 2009. Originally having 15 families, the sale now has up to 300 families participate each year and welcomes 3,000 shoppers over the three-day shopping period. The sale, which will take place from the Sept. 11 to 13 will focus primarily on fall and winter clothes, while the March sale sells spring and summer items. “There are lots of things that are kid related

that are not seasonal like any equipment type thing that you would use for kids, toys and stuff like that, so that’s pretty much the same from season to season,” Chandler said. One thing Chandler takes pride in is the organization of the sale as the items are separated by children’s age and size allowing parents to get in and get out quickly. Focusing primarily on Hamilton County and the Indianapolis area, Chandler hopes the business continues to grow and parents keep seeing the potential the sale can bring. “It’s not a requirement to spend thousands of dollars on your kids. There is a better way,” Chandler said. “They don’t have to break the bank to clothe their kids.” For more information on the Indy Kids Sale and how to register as a consignor, visit www. indykidssale.com or follow them on Facebook and Twitter at IKSale and Indy Kids Consignment.
The importance of losing teeth Commentary by Heather Kestian
With a week before first grade to go, my oldest lost his first tooth. This has been a long time coming and has involved more plain talk than its fair share of drama. He reports that he was the last child in his kindergarten class to lose a tooth. Do you know how difficult that is – to be the “baby” in the class? Through this lack of tooth-losing drama, I learned that losing a tooth sets you on the path to being a big kid. Honestly, I had no idea. I challenged him to think of it a different way, a technique I call “positive reframing.” You have not lost a tooth because you have taken such good care of your teeth, brushing and flossing them on a daily basis. You have taken such good care of your teeth that they are not ready to leave yet. It has nothing to do with whether you are a big kid or a baby, you have created an environment that keeps your teeth happy, and they want to stay for as long as possible. This was satisfactory for a month or so, then his friends starting losing more and more teeth. He says, “My friend has lost four teeth. Four! I haven’t lost one! Maybe I should stop brushing
my teeth.” Bye-bye, positive reframing. Thankfully, summer arrived, and not too soon. We headed to the dentist and she assured him he would be losing them soon. One was a little wiggly, which relieved him. I was worried – only one? We are putting a lot of faith in one tooth. As it would turn out, another tooth loosened. And eventually fell out with exactly seven days before the start of first grade. This created another crisis that had not had to be dealt with in our house – how much does the Tooth Fairy bring these days? Admittedly, I am not a spring chicken, and when I was a kid, my teeth fetched $0.25 each. How has a few decades of inflation affected the price of teeth? If the 20 teeth he has fall out in the next couple of years, this may be a rather large investment on the part of the Tooth Fairy (depending on the cost per tooth and then multiple that by the number of children in the house). Be sure to set a reasonable price, oh great, Tooth Fairy! Heather Kestian is a Fishers resident and mother. She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism, as well as a master’s degree in education. Her family moved to Fishers in 2010.

HSE superintendent reflects and looks ahead
By Sarah Stoesz • news@currentinfishers.com
Hamilton Southeastern Supt. Dr. Brian Smith is retiring and heading off to a new challenge as the executive director of the education Indiana School Board Association. Smith took time to sit down and discuss his tenure at HSE and future challenges for the school district. Smith became superintendent in 2009 following 11 years as the Supt. of the Southwest Allen County school district. During his 5 years at HSE, Smith believes much was accomplished. “I’ve been involved in a lot of initiatives since I’ve been here,” he said. “We’ve started the one-to-one computer initiative and done three referendums, one for general operation and two for building expansions.” Smith also worked closely with the town to try to reduce expenses. This past year, they cut about $2 million from the budget. HSE schools are searching for a replacement superintendent. Dr. William Carnes will be the interim superintendent until a permanent replacement is found. Smith believes that the school district has a bright future. “It’s a great school district,” Smith said. “It’s high-performing and will continue to do well.” However, HSE schools will have many projects and changes in the future. “One of our really large initiatives during this next year is to develop a grassroots effort to
superintendent. He contributes the high performing success to HSE’s great teachers and engaged parents. “You can have the latest equipment and the newest buildings and the best computers, but the bottom line is, when you close that classroom door, the thing that makes more difference than anything else is a great teacher. So I think that’s our secret. Engaged parents and great teachers are a winning combination,” Smith said.

Additionally, HSE schools will work on a transportation resolution. “If it is not resolved within three years, we won’t have enough money to run transportation and most of the schools in the state will be in the same position,” he said. Smith says that he has enjoyed his time as

Prevail offers services to victims By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com
The July 27 murder-suicide involving Fishers teacher Shannon O’Malia Hall has people asking if anything could have been done to prevent the tragedy. In her case, perhaps not, but in many others, an organization called advocacy Prevail offers help. Prevail, Inc. is an independent, nonprofit organization that assists adults and children impacted by domestic violence in Hamilton and surrounding counties. Prevail is not a shelter but is a place to find various types of support and services. “Prevail, Inc. is dedicated to serving victims of crime and abuse in a supportive environment that is meant to empower, educate and strengthen those we serve,” stated Prevail Executive Director Susan Ferguson. “By offering these life-saving services, free of charge, we help people move forward.” Crisis Intervention is one service offered by Prevail to victims of crime. “Advocates are available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year to provide crisis intervention by phone and, when safe to do so, in person,” advised Ferguson. The 24-hour crisis line is 7763472 and Ferguson emphasized that all services are free and confidential. Other specific services include support groups, victim notification processes, community education and various individual considerations like
safety planning, résumé writing and job placement support. Community awareness is important to Prevail. “We partner with local law enforcement agencies to ensure that victims identified in police reports are aware that services are available to them,” Ferguson said. “We also partner with local hospitals to ensure that victims of crime in their services have an opportunity to have an advocate present for their exams. We also seek opportunities with anyone who is willing to have us provide education on these topics.” Ferguson was emphatic that it should never be anyone’s intent to make victims of domestic violence believe that they are at fault for the violence or that they should be able to predict it. However, she did go on to state that some early red flags in a relationship could include jealousy, isolation, hypersensitivity and verbal abuse. Prevail is funded in part by local, state and federal government sources. About 30 percent of Prevail’s funding is from the community. “We count on the community’s generosity,” she said. “We serve approximately 3,000 victims of crime each year with a staff of 15. In addition, we touch another 3,000 people through our community education programs.” Prevail is located at 1100 South 9th St., Suite 100 in Noblesville. Additional details about services can be found at www.prevailofhamiltoncounty.com, along with information about their Gala fundraiser coming up on Aug. 23.

Remembering Shannon
Outpouring of support for family of murdered teacher is helping them recover By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com
What do you say to someone who tragically lost their daughter? What do you say when that daughter was murdered cover story right in front of them? What things should you ask and what shouldn’t you? Those were the questions running through my mind as I knocked on the door of the home at which Danny and Rita O’Malia are staying.

And I’m tired of the tenseness in my chest. But we’re getting along because of the support,” she says. “I think Shannon is with us. I think she says, ‘Mom, you can do this.’” One of Danny O’Malia’s favorite stories about Shannon when she was young seems like a
sad irony now. He says 37 years ago when they first moved into their home in Carmel, where the shooting took place, Shannon, who was only 3 at the time, was scared and couldn’t sleep. He says he told her that she was safer there than she had been before in their old house. He says she told him, “But Daddy, I’m a little girl. I’m supposed to be scared.” Danny O’Malia believes there have been signs from Shannon. “She loved rainbows. When we arrived at the prayer service for her at Cathedral, there was a rainbow in the sky.”
friends and family share memories Shan was vibrant and full of life, she was charming and made everyone feel special. To have been around her is to feel the very essence of love! I think Shan would want to be remembered most as a wonderful mom, a caring daughter, a loving sister and devoted friend. I know she would not want to be thought of as a victim. Shan was a strong woman who would stand up for herself and her children. -Chrissy Greene, Shannon Hall’s close friend for 32 year
“Shannon was a dedicated sister and amazing aunt to my children. She loved with her heart anyone who came into her life. We shared the same profession and thoroughly enjoyed our chance to work together. I will miss her forever and keep her memory alive forever.” Janet Andriole, older sister of Shannon Hall
As a friend, Shannon was genuine. Over time, I felt like she was one of my sisters. She would cheer me up instantly with her smile and make me laugh with one of her hilarious oneliners. Shannon was energetic, compassionate, encouraging, and engaging. She made learning fun for her students. For Shannon, teaching was not a career … it was a calling. - Kristy Worthington, friend and teacher who taught with Shannon Hall for 12 years

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Chaucie’s Place needs your help Chaucie’s Place is expanding its Smart Steps: A Body Safety Program for Children and it needs your help to reach as many students as possible. The program is a regional prevention-and-education effort that teaches elementary school-aged children that their bodies belong to them and that they have the right to say “no” to a touch to their private parts for “no good reason or just to play a game.” All volunteers will attend an orientation/training session, learn to use a script developed specially for the program and shadow experienced instructors until they are ready to present on their own. If your schedule allows, and we hope it will, you will help once a month or once a week, and you will make a positive impact on the life of a child. Orientation is noon to 1 p.m. on Aug. 26 at Chaucie’s Place, 4607 E. 106th St., Carmel. Please try to make time. For more information, call 759-8008. ••• AND WE STAND FOR THIS WHY? Well, because we’re Americans. The Daily News of London sent out this dispatch last week, just in time to get us additionally riled about useless government spending. Here goes: “Hillary Clinton left her post at the top of the U.S. State Department on Feb. 1, 2013, but the federal government spent more than $55,000 on travel expenses related to her book tour just last month, procurement documents show. The expenses included a $3,668 charge for her to enjoy a single night’s lodging in a suite at the posh Four Seasons George V hotel in Paris.” Need more? We paid $5,100 to rent three Mercedes-Benz VIP vans in Berlin, curiously billed to the Homeland Security Department’s Office of Inspector General. The State Dept. paid for nearly $50,000 of the costs even though Clinton no longer heads the cabinet agency. All this in light of her garnering well into six figures every time she gives a speech? Clearly, it pays to be a Clinton. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson
Police state of mind Commentary by Terry Anker Ostensibly because of the enormous U.S. investment in military gear during these past many years to support wars in the Middle East, many municipal police forces are flush with all matter of equipment designed to do many things but likely not to “serve and protect.” As the soldierly surplus is repatriated, it is deployed to awaiting communities. But, is an armored personnel carrier required gear to keep our homes and families safe? Even as riots are winding down in other Midwestern states following claims of police brutality and zealousness, pundits and community organizers alike are calling for federal oversight of local police authority. Has the thin blue line fattened-up with age? Is it time for a diet? Should we work to control and out-of-control government force by giving even more power to another government force? But before we take the guns away from Officer Friendly and call in the Calvary, is the concern misplaced? Public safety officials face an unprecedented rise in amoral and even ruthless
behavior from criminals. Random individuals open fire on busy streets because some passerby dared bump them on a crowded sidewalk. And, veteran officers are murdered in cold blood when responding to a seemingly routine domestic call. Certainly, government authority must be constrained. The founders expended buckets of ink to warn their progeny of the risks of an endlessly expanding central state. But, is a better equipped and armed police authority a necessary response to an increasingly violent and remorseless felonious element? Can there be an alternative? As citizens do we fear an increasingly paramilitary state more than an increasingly lawless citizenry? The dichotomy is not a new one. Yet can there be a winner in the ever accelerating arms race between the good guys and bad? Maybe it is just a state of mind. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. –Pablo Picasso
For the first time in seven years, I completely spaced a back-to-school article! Under ordinary circumstances, I’d have humor happily spent most of July composing a witty summer-sucks and homework-rules piece that debuts just as our little ones are boarding that beautiful yellow bus in August. But if you recall, last week’s lame column dealt with an uneventful vacation to South Carolina. What is WRONG with me? I’ve thought a lot about possible causes for my literary amnesia and only managed one explanation: I just wasn’t ready for school to start. This is unusual, because normally I’m so irritated with “bored” kids, stupid XBOXes, sunburn prevention, and exponentially-populating fruit flies. But after barely surviving the horrendous winter as both a teacher and a mother, I needed the summer months of 2014 to get myself pulled back together, physically and mentally. My sanity demanded a break, one devoid of carpooling and lesson planning and the general school year chaos. And my kids are older now (even my youngest can ride a bike by herself to CVS for banned soda and candy), so the usual constant demands for my time and attention weren’t so constant or demanding. In fact, I rarely saw any of my offspring for more than about four hours a day. I felt like I’d just started to settle in to the stay-at-home mom groove (a much better gig than it was when I had toddlers periodically dumping cherry Kool-Aid down air vents) when registration and orientation information began arriving in the mail. Wait! I’m not ready! I’m assuming my mind put a mental block on the whole event, leading me to write about how hot the South is and how a splinter can ruin the day. Pardon me, I just stifled a yawn. So I’d like to apologize to parents everywhere for not acknowledging your probablypolitically-incorrect-yet-perfectly-valid feelings of relief and guilt that summer vacay is finally over. Even though I don’t share your sentiments this year, know that I have certainly been in your shoes many times before. I firmly believe that children are not meant to be with their moms and dads for long periods of warm weather, and that school structure and routine are integral to parents staying off the booze. Next July, please consider emailing a headsup. That should give me plenty of time to write a killer back-to-school bit for the appropriate publication date. Peace out!

Beef & Boards: Where the wind comes sweepin’ down
THIS WEEK
By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com
The first show in the historic collaboration of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II was also the first for an enduring theatre Indianapolis partnership. Doug Stark and his business partner for many years, Bob Zehr, took ownership of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in 1980 and made their mark here with “Oklahoma!” That 1943 stage adaptation of the novel “Green Grow the Lilacs” launched the Rodgers and Hammerstein brand on Broadway and was also a milestone that established the “book musical” as a favorite American form of entertainment. On Aug. 21, the seventh B&B production of the perpetual hit show will take the stage at the landmark showplace on Indianapolis’ northwest side. It is being directed by Stark’s daughter, Elizabeth. Stark, now sole proprietor, recalled in an interview how the B&B course here was set by his and Zehr’s decision to revive the show with which they had concluded three years of doing business in suburban Louisville. “We took over the theater just after Thanksgiving,” Stark said. The previous owner, a national dinner-theater chain based in Dallas, Texas, had “1776” onstage, with “a very, very large cast” that was tiring after a 40-week engagement in the chain’s several other regional theaters. “We replaced that show with ‘Oklahoma!,’” Stark said. “It was not the best of Christmas shows, but we had a really fun cast. We were able to mount it fairly quickly because we had done it in Simpsonville. We could concentrate on selling tickets and getting more audience in here.” In that era, dinner theaters were a fading fad nationwide. The tendency, Stark said, was to use a “star system,” staging often “substandard shows that wouldn’t have been produced anyplace else” with a household name leading the cast. Beef & Boards has always mounted its own productions, concentrating on musicals, and featuring stars only to the extent that some of its veterans have become stars to loyal patrons during the past 35 seasons. The operation has bucked the tendency of dinner theaters to fade in a marketplace favoring separation of food and entertainment. What makes “Oklahoma!” a surefire hit on the B&B schedule? “First, it’s because our audience can relate to it,” starting with the man at the top: “I’m third-generation off the farm,” Stark said. “Something about that kind of story is easily relatable, even with me. I’ve seen surreys, and hawks doing lazy circles in the sky,” he added, alluding to two of the show’s hit songs. Furthermore, “you don’t have to think a lot in ‘Oklahoma!,” and it’s got something for everyone: “You have your love interest, your funny people, your crotchety old people,” he said. “And that

show was back in the day where a lot of your Top 10 popular songs came from Broadway.” Plus, even the dark side – the threat the lovelorn cowhand Jud Fry poses to the romance of Laurey and Curly – shows some sympathy for the doomed Jud. “They’re not trying to make any huge point with it, except ‘this happened and we have to get through it’ and life can go on,” he said. And the peppy title song is reprised at the very end, “everybody is brought back up (in mood),” Stark said. “It’s a show that continues to sell really well to our audience.” Stark also takes pride in the working atmosphere he creates at Beef & Boards. This cast is particularly rich in newcomers to the theater, including Eric Morris as Curly and Grace Ann Field as Laurey. Others in B&B debuts are Daniel S. Hines, Brian Sutow, Mary-Elizabeth Milton, Jordan Moody, and ensemble members Leah DeWalt and Devan Mathias. “It’s important to have newcomers and have them blend with the people who have already been here,” said Stark, mentioning Licia Watson, who will have just finished reprising her role as Vivian Snus-
tad in the “Church Basement Ladies” series. “Once we get them involved, we hope they will be us for a long time,” he said. “We kind of try to have a very, very ‘human’ theater. It’s not like ‘You actors are here to work for us, and you can do this and you can’t do that.’ If you get them to a comfort level where they enjoy working here, you can pull that little extra 10 percent out of them onstage.” The payoff is evident in audience response, too, Stark believes. And that positive feeling helps to ensure long-term business success. “If someone is having a good time doing what they’re doing,” he said, “it makes you feel so much better watching the show.” Beef & Boards Presents: “Oklahoma!” • Beef & Boards celebrates the first collaboration of the famous Rodgers and Hammerstein with this lively production of “Oklahoma!” Set in Indian Territory at the turn of the 20th century, this musical illustrates the worlds of cowboys and farmers. • 9301 Michigan Rd., Indianapolis • Runs Aug. 21 through Oct. 5 • Tickets start at $38.50. • 872-9664 • http://beefandboards.com

Carmel Theatre Company’s new show “Red, Like a Dinosaur’s Liver” is described as “theatre of the absurd,” yet the most absurd thing theatre about it may be that that members of the production didn’t rehearse in person until only days before the show starts. Instead, actors, director Scott Jackoway and playwright Ben Claus opted to hold rehearsals through online video chat programs such as Skype and Google Hangouts. “Red, Like a Dinosaur’s Liver” is the first production directed by Jackoway and written by Claus, both cut Carmel graduates. The play tells the story of a married couple: Heidi, an aspiring author searching for the next big idea, and her husband, a doctor with an affinity for old classics, leading both to conflict on what literature is meant to be. A third character, known as “The Fool” enters into their life, only to throw things into chaos. “We’ve been talking a lot about what the show is at its core,” Jackoway said. “People being stuck in a rut and wanting to get out. Can you get out? What do you need to get yourself unstuck? We’re hoping people walk away thinking about that.” Claus and Jackoway became best friends through a Clay Middle School production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Claus now studies Playwriting at Depaul University in Illinois while Jackoway studies Theatre at New York University. Much like their distance while studying in differ-
ent states, the distance between production members called for unique solutions. Having previously rehearsed with cast and production members through Google Hangouts, both Claus and Jackoway say the show has evolved dramatically since arriving in Carmel. “It can be hard to read the energy in the room,” Claus said, referring to online rehearsals. “It kind of added to the distance between the characters. We’re trying to play with the space now. I think the play has become more about each other now that it’s in person.” June Clair, a retired Carmel Clay educator is assisting both men in the overall production of the show. “Red, Like a Dinosaur’s Liver” runs at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 21 through 23.

Parents need activities, too Commentary by Kathleen Connelly
As the summer is winding down my family is getting organized for the fall and for us that means signing the kids up for fall activities. Our rule of thumb usually is each kid can participate in one physical activity/team sport at a time. We are breaking this rule slightly this fall but for the most part follow it to a tee. This helps us keep our sanity and allows us to spend time at home with family and friends. For the fall, my son and 6-year-old daughter are playing soccer through S.P.O.R.T.S and my 3-year-old daughter is participating in a dance class at Wishes Dance Studio in Fishers. Here’s where I broke my own rule: My son is also playing fall baseball through S.P.O.R.T.S. As I organized all of this and put everything on the calendar, I had a thought: What about my husband and me? As parents, we want to give the world to our kids. We want to let them try new things and enjoy different activities. Why don’t we want the same things for ourselves? I see clients all the time who put everything and everyone else before themselves. Even though we are parents, we need to recognize the importance of staying active, participating in activities
we enjoy and yes, even in our 30s, 40s, 50s and older, trying new things. I believe it is a way to teach our kids that their health, their interests and staying active is important at any age or in any circumstance. Your kids will see you being active, see you trying new things or making what you enjoy a priority and they will learn from it. Aren’t these important lessons we want to teach our kids? Next time you think about signing you kids up for something, decide what “your activity” will be. Find out if the organization that your kids play through has adult sports leagues. Maybe the studio your child dances at has adult classes or you and your son/daughter can try a new activity together. My husband has not decided on his “fall activity” but I am going to follow my own advice and sign up for a yoga class through the Fishers YMCA. My challenge to you is to find an activity that can fit into your family schedule and sign up today! Kathleen M.

IU Health Saxony increases cancer detection news@currentnoblesville.com IU Health Saxony, 13000 E. 136th St., Fishers, is now providing the latest in imaging technology for breast cancer screening – Hologic 3D Mammography. In the June 25, 2014 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, a groundbreaking study was published that found Hologic’s 3D mammography screening technology significantly increased cancer detection while simultaneously reducing the number of false positives. The study, which reviewed close to half a million mammography exams, found that 3D mammography discovered significantly more invasive or lethal cancers than a traditional mammogram. According to the study’s results, 3D mammography also reduces the number of women called back for unnecessary screenings due to false alarms, which reduces anxiety and health care costs. “We believe Hologic 3D Mammography will benefit all screening and diagnostic mammography patients, and is especially valuable for women receiving a baseline screening, those who have dense breast tissue and/or women with a personal history of breast cancer,” IU Health Saxony Hospital radiologist Dr. Matthew Nartker stated. The Hologic 3D mammography screening experience is similar to a traditional mammogram. During a 3D mammography exam, multiple, low-dose images of the breast are acquired at different angles. These images are then used to produce a series of one-millimeter thick slices that can be viewed as a 3D reconstruction of the breast. To schedule a mammogram at IU Health Saxony, call 962-3580.

So you want to ‘go it alone?’ Commentary by Adam Cmejla I firmly believe that everybody needs to have a relationship with a competent, trustworthy and reliable advisor, and I believe finance that need only increases as your wealth, situation, and age increase. Obviously I’m a bit biased, but I believe I’ve come up with a great story and analogy that illustrates this well. I tend to try and relate complicated financial topics and situations into realities that I and others can comprehend. Being an aviation enthusiast, I’ve used flying and being a pilot in many situations, and I feel this may help connect the dots on the value, role, and responsibilities of an advisor. You want three things when you fly. At the core of air travel, everybody desires and wants to experience three main things: you want to take off and land safely, you want to get where you’re going, and you want to get there on time. That’s what we are paying the airline (and the pilot and crew) to do for us. That’s also what you want your investments and financial plan to do. You want to get to the proper destination (retirement, college education, etc.) and you want to get there on time and safely. The various investments and vehicles that you use are the airplane and we as advisors are your pilot. I didn’t build the airplane. There are two obstacles that every honest, hard-working, and trustworthy advisor will face. The first is that we did not build the airplane. XYZ Investment Fund or ABC ETF built the airplane (investment). So en route, if we encounter some mechanical difficulties or repairs that need to be done, it wasn’t
because of me. I didn’t cut the dividend of an investment, I didn’t cause a temporary fall in account value. I am simply the pilot; they built it. I’m not paid to predict the weather. I’m paid to react to the weather. I know there will be rough patches ahead, but I’d be lying to you if I knew exactly when and where they would be. If I did know, I wouldn’t be writing this article. Based on of a map, I may have a sense of where it might be, but we’re not going to know until we experience it. So there may be times when you’re looking out the window and everything is clear and it’s smooth cruising. There may be times when I tell you to fasten your seatbelts because we’re encountering some rough weather. But when the journey is over, I’ll get you to where you need to be (retirement, etc.), safely and on time. That’s my responsibility and duty, and I understand the magnitude of that task. Now, think of the last time that you traveled from IND and where you were going. Imagine getting to the gate and finding there are two planes going to your destination. One has a pilot, and one doesn’t. The one that doesn’t have a pilot has a computer in the pilot’s seat with access to some “do it yourself” software and a copy of the POH (Pilot’s Operating Handbook) and it’s your responsibility to learn how to fly the plane and get to your destination, safely and on time. Which plane will you board?

One of those days?
DISPATCH What are the top three tech stocks to buy this year? Investor Place offers three suggestions - Apple (AAPL) remains one of the very best tech stocks to own. Consumers love Apple’s products – Apple doesn’t have customers so much as devotees. Analysts continually underestimate this company; Apple has had small positive earnings surprises for the past four quarters in a row. Texas Instruments (TXN) is another well-positioned tech stock. The semiconductor giant has delivered a positive earnings surprise in three of the past four quarters, and TXN analysts have increased their expectations sharply in the last three months. Management at Texas Instruments has been very shareholderfriendly; the company uses a big portion of its cash flow to buy back stock and pay dividends. I know a lot of the tech-savvy crowd dismisses Facebook (FB) as being out of step. And sure, it’s not as hip as some of the newer social media sites that pop up just about every day.
Indoor facility proposed at Grand Park – After being unveiled at Grand Park’s grand opening on June 21, the Westfield City Council reviewed plans for a $24 million indoor sports facility at the sports complex at its Aug. 11 meeting. The proposed 372,000-square-foot facility will be built by Holladay Properties. The state-of-the-art building will house three full-size professional soccer fields that can be used for recreational play and competitive play for all field sports. The building will also have office space, locker rooms, meeting rooms and a restaurant focused on family dining. It will be built between Parking Lot C and 191st Street. “This entire Grand Park project is predicated on having year-round functionality,” Westfield’s Deputy Mayor Todd Burtron said, adding the facility will be a taxable asset. “We’ve had several enterprises ask to have operations inside the building.” The final decision about the project could come as early as Sept. 22. Builders said the goal is to break ground on the facility this year with a target opening for next summer. Noblesville resident selected to lead results-oriented nonprofit organization – Stephanie Hawks of Noblesville has been promoted to regional supervisor for Youth Villages Indiana, a private nonprofit organization that provides Intercept intensive in-home services to children with emotional and behavioral problems and their families. Hawks previously served as clinical supervisor for the organization. Hawks supervises three clinical supervisors in Indianapolis, Bloomington and Hawks Columbus. Youth Villages serves 20 children and families in Marion County. Hawks holds a master’s degree in social work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a bachelor’s degree in social welfare and justice from Marquette University.

Fresco in Chora Church Depicting the Resurrection. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Iconic images in Istanbul
Commentary by Don Knebel
After touring the Hagia Sophia, many visitors assume they have seen the best Byzantine art in Istanbul. They have not. What may travel be the most impressive collection of medieval mosaics and frescoes in the world is displayed in the “Chora Church” in western Istanbul. The “Church of Christ the Savior in Chora” derives its name from a fourth-century monastery in the same location, which was outside the walls of Constantinople and therefore in “chora,” Greek for “the countryside.” Byzantine Emperor Justinian built a church on the site in the sixth century, apparently because it was near his summer palace. After additions and improvements, the building became associated with the Greek Orthodox Church after its split from the Roman Catholic Church in the Great Schism of 1054. The church attained most of its current configuration in about 1081. In 1204, Catholic participants in the Fourth Crusade sacked Constantinople and significantly damaged the church. After Orthodox forces recaptured Constantinople in 1261, Theodore Metochites, a wealthy statesman and patron of the arts, restored the church and covered its interior with dozens of colorful mosaics and

frescoes depicting the life and death of Jesus, Biblical stories and characters and scenes important to the church. The renderings are more intricate than typical art of the period. One colorful mosaic shows Metochites handing the church to Jesus. A complex gold-leaf mosaic depicts the bodily assumption of Mary into heaven. The most famous of the frescoes, labeled “anastasis” (resurrection), is on a dome near the burial chapel. Frequently emulated, it shows the returned Jesus giving a hand to Adam and Eve as they arise bodily from their graves, with other Biblical figures watching nearby. In 1453, the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople, renamed it Istanbul and turned the Chora Church into a mosque, complete with a minaret. Because Islam forbids “graven images,” they covered the mosaics and frescoes with plaster, inadvertently preserving them. Beginning in 1948, the Turkish government uncovered and restored the images and reopened the church in 1958 as a museum. Try not to overlook the splendors of the Chora Church.

Open-air porch with fireplace provides family entertaining options Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL DECK/PATIO: This home, located in the Village of West Clay in Carmel, was built in 2005. Although the origiblueprint for nal brick surround patio improvement was beautiful, it was practically unusable due to intense evening sun. “We host Sunday family dinners every week for our family and we grew tired of having a patio that we could never entertain on. We decided to add on a large outdoor room so we could finally enjoy the outdoors without being subjected to the heat.” EXTERIOR FINISH: Tying in with the existing gable and rooflines, the new porch was framed over the extended aggregate patio. A cathedral ceiling, custom made screened doors and gable windows were included. The elevated cathedral ceiling gives a grand appearance, but also retains the view to the backyard from the front entry. The exterior was finished with cedar siding and trim and was painted to match the existing paint color. FIREPLACE DETAILS: The fireplace was one of the major focal points. The fireplace was constructed using stone veneer in an “Autumn Sunburst Ashlar” color and angled with a straight sightline into the kitchen. The interior fireplace wall included a 6-inch recess that was perfectly sized for their new TV. To give a dual-sided look, two fireboxes with separate flues were installed on the interior and exterior, which prevents

insects from crawling inside. A limestone hearth was installed to complete the final look of the fireplace. INTERIOR DETAILS: After the windows and screened door were installed, new casings were installed to match the family room. Motorized retractable screens were also installed to give the homeowners the desired open-air concept. A double fan with woven bamboo blades was installed along with coordinating wall sconces and carriage lights in an oil-rubbed bronze finish.
