City proposes new FPD headquarters By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com In order to catch up with the pace of a growing city, its government and police force, the City of Fishers has proposed a plan for a new headquarters for the Fishers Police Dept. public safety The proposed three-story, 78,000 square-foot building would be located directly east of the Fishers’ Police Dept. headquarters at 4 Municipal Dr. That building would be repurposed to house departments outgrowing Fishers City Hall. The 4 Municipal Dr. building has Fadness been in use by FPD since 1994. “We had a total of 33 officers,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said of when the FPD headquarters was built. “In the 2017 budget, I’ve recommended we’ll have 111 police officers.” The FPD’s crime lab, seized property storage, patrol division and internet crimes division have been outgrown, and police operations are spread across two different locations costing $36,000 annually in

rent. Additionally, the 4 Municipal Dr. building lacks a space large enough to house department-wide training. “When you add all that up together we're not in an adequate facility,” Fadness said. “And
we rent storage units. We'd like to consolidate under one roof so our police department can be prepared for the next 50 years of Fishers' growth.” The development would also add 28,800 square feet of new parking to the Nickel Plate District. “Which is needed on a day-to-day basis for our staff and residents coming to visit,” Fadness said. “It would be great if we could have the police department move in by Jan. 1 of 2018. That would be ideal. I'll be working to solidify the financing for it and solidifying the development team that will go forward and do this project.” Fishers would then plan to relocate its IT department, city court, permitting and inspections and general administration roles from city hall into the former police headquarters. “Aspects of what's in city hall today will also move over to that building, alleviating the pressure on the current building we have at city hall and really will allow us to grow for some time to come,” Fadness said.

Fishers plans to begin a $2 million project early next summer to bring repairs to a portion of 116th Street through the western part of the city. The project includes base-layer reroads pairs, road resurfacing and crosswalk upgrades plus installation and repairs of access ramps complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act. A $1 million matching grant Fishers received from the Indiana Dept. of Transportation will pay half of the project’s cost. The city applied earlier this year, and Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb and INDOT Commissioner Brandye Hendrickson visited Hamilton County Aug. 22 to present the matching grant. “Improving infrastructure in our community will increase the quality of life of our residents and help attract and retain businesses,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness stated. “As one of the city’s most-used thoroughfares, modernizing the corridor and making necessary repairs will be transformative and pave the way for redevelopment in the 116th and Allisonville Road area.” The city will bid and manage the improvement project and expects construction work to begin early next summer. “The $1 million Community Crossing Matching Grant has allowed us to program 116th Street improvements sooner than originally planned,” Fishers Director of Engineering Jeff Hill stated. “The next few years are sure to be busy from an infrastructure

improvements standpoint, but the end result will be an updated transportation network that better meets the needs of our growing community.”
THIS WEEK: Work will not take place Sept. 5 because of the Labor Day holiday, but weather permitting, bridges for the new 106th Street bridges will be set over northbound lanes of I-69 beginning Sept. 6. Up to three right lanes of northbound I-69 and one southbound lane may be closed nightly between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Rolling slowdowns of traffic, lasting approximately 20 minutes each, will be used to create gaps in traffic and allow for safely lifting the large beams over the interstate. Backups and delays should be expected.

Congresswoman Brooks examines policing issues By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As a new member of a bipartisan policing strategy group in Congress, U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN05) wanted to safety engage with law enforcement communities from the eight counties she represents. With that in mind, Brooks met with several members of law enforcement departments Aug. 25 at the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. “There are about 12 members of Congress (in the group) who are looking and talking about what Congress’ role is in helping our communities as we have seen so many difficult situations erupt, whether it’s Baltimore, it’s Ferguson (Mo.), Dallas or Baton Rouge,” Brooks said. Brooks said she wanted to hear from police and sheriff’s departments in her communities about the challenges they are facing. “One thing that makes me so very pleased and relieved, quite frankly, is the communities in the fifth district are showing tremendous support for their law enforcement,” Brooks said. “While we’ve had all of these issues with communities uprising after police incidents, that has not happened in Central Indiana.
Rep. Susan Brooks, center, pauses with local law enforcement officers. (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)
I learned there has been outreach by our departments to make sure they have strong relationships in the communities, whether with faith communities or police academies inviting citizens into academies or working with programs like DARE in schools.” Brooks said she learned most of the departments she met with either use or are considering using body cameras. Brooks said it is important because so many citizens are taking photos with their phones of incidents that may not always show the entire incident. “The body cameras are providing that accountability not only for the law enforcement but for the citizens,” Brooks said. “I’ve learned
a lot of citizens might complain about something but when they then see what happened on that camera, whether it’s on the car or (officer), they are seeing the complaints will diminish or will go away. Far more often than not, law enforcement is doing the right thing in executing the stop or the arrest.” Brooks said in her communities there has been an increase in violence against police officers, primarily in Indianapolis. “It’s causing hiring problems in our departments,” Brooks said. “A lot of people who have contemplated law enforcement in the past are not going into law enforcement now, and that’s a big concern of all these departments.”

Nothing new Commentary by Jonathan Matthes Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: an established Secretary of State, with a famous last name, facing off against a political outsider who made his fortune in real estate. I am, of course, speaking of the 1828 presidential election of John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. We want to look at the past through sepiatinted glasses. We want to imagine that it was a time where our presidential candidates treated their opponents with respect. It’s a myth, and the ugliest example may have been in 1828. The question on the table was who better represented America. Adams, the son of a Founding Father, was cosmopolitan, cutting his teeth as a diplomat in foreign lands. Jackson, orphaned during childhood, was the heroic general of the battle of New Orleans. Each had obvious strengths. Their surrogates tried to contort the opponent’s strengths into weaknesses. Adams’ international experience was turned to make Adams look disconnected from the av-
erage American. Jackson’s military experience was mocked with Coffin Handbills, fliers that featured coffins on them, one for each American executed under Jackson’s command. Wives were not off limits. Adams had married an Englishwoman, which was used to illustrate how detached he was from America. The most vitriol was saved for Jackson’s wife, Rachel. After her abusive first marriage ended, she and Jackson were married. But it was before the divorce was technically finalized. This technicality was aired out before the nation in 1828. Rachel was vilified as an adulteress, a bigamist and worse. Jackson won the election, but for Rachel the attacks burrowed deep in her soul. She died of a heart attack just before her husband’s inauguration. Everyone blamed the election. Jackson would never forgive Adams or himself. As they say, in presidential politics, there’s nothing new under the sun.

The end of September will also mark the end of a 40-year career for Fishers’ first full-time policeman and the city’s only police chief cover story in its history. Fishers Police Chief George Kehl will take off his badge for the last time Sept. 29 after a 40-year run that saw him serve the city as chief for 38 of those years. A life-long Fishers resident, the then-town had approximately 1,500 residents when Kehl was hired as its first full-time employee. “I just always had an interest in law enforcement,” Kehl said. “We were so small and had a part-time town marshal at the time and I rode with him a lot. I knew a couple of the deputies that were farmers around here and worked for the (Hamilton County) Sheriff's Dept. so I would ride with them, and it just drew my interest. I had an opportunity to become a reserve deputy sheriff for Hamilton County, so I took that opportunity and did that for about a year. I came to Fishers and worked parttime for three and a half years and then became full time in '78.” Since then, the Fishers Police Dept. has grown to 107 sworn officers.
A big part of its growth began in the 1990s when Fishers’ population began to rise. “We were on a huge hiring spree. I would never want to do that again where you're hiring 10 to 15 new officers a year,” Kehl said. “You can't do it today. We were fortunate back then where there was a lot of reserve officers and a lot of them came on full time and there were just a lot of great candidates to pick from back in the late '80s and '90s. It's a tougher hiring process now.” As the city and its police department continued to grow, Fishers has earned countless distinctions the past few decades on various publications’ “Safest Places to Live” lists — a point of pride for its police chief. “That's our responsibility, to make it the safest city,” Kehl said. “We're obligated to do that and everybody knows that. They take a lot of pride in making sure that's our mission and that it's successfully fulfilled. “What I'm most proud of are the programs our officers have established, the relationships they've built with the schools, the school resource program, the DARE program, the teen academy, the citizen's academy — those things you can't put a value on how important they are,” he added. “To have officers step up and come up with these ideas and implement them and the different specialty teams we have that they've taken off and run with and made huge successes, I'm most proud of that.”

Fishers’ first police chief, Kehl, retiring after 40 years
What’s Next?
After a 40-year career, Fishers Police Chief George Kehl has earned the right to kick back and relax in retirement — not that he will. “I'll take some time off to relax, but maybe not kick my feet up,” he said. “I've got projects lined up for a couple months.” That attitude came as no surprise to the man who will Kehl soon replace him as police chief. “Anybody that knows George knows he doesn't sit around,” FPD Assistant Chief Mitch Thompson said. “He's always on the move or has something going.” Kehl nearly got an early start to his post-policing life in the May election, during which he ran for one of three at-large spots on the Hamilton County Council. In a tight race, Kehl finished just outside of a spot on the county council with 19.91 percent of the vote (28,764 votes), with the third and final council spot secured with 20.92 percent (30,221 votes). Although he declined to offer specifics, Kehl hinted the Hamilton County Council campaign would likely not be his final foray into politics. After all, he has some time on his hands now. “I will probably be back in the political arena. I don't know exactly at what level at this point. We're talking about some things. I'm not going away and I'll be back in the political arena,” Kehl said. “I'm not sharing anything because I haven't made a decision yet.”
Next Man Up Mitch Thompson has been with the Fishers Police Dept. since 1991. He earned an administrative role as patrol commander in 1999 and has served assistant chief since 2003. He’s spent the past year learning the ropes of his new job as chief, which he’ll officially begin after George Kehl’s last day Sept. 29. Thompson “We call it a last-year transition period, which there wasn't too much to that. Mitch has been ready to go from day one,” Kehl said. “Basically he's running the day-to-day and we're sending him to everything now and it's been that way for a couple months. It's all running very smoothly. “Not many departments can say that their command staff has brought up an assistant chief to become the chief,” he added. “A lot of mayors all over the country do these nationwide searches and hire headhunters, and that's disruptive for an agency when there's no continuity. We're very fortunate to have that stabilization here.” There also aren’t many assistant chiefs who can say they’re replacing a local legend in the law enforcement community with four decades of experience. “You're looking at a guy who's the longest-serving chief in the state of Indiana, if not in the Midwest or whole country — 38 years as chief of police is unheard of,” Thompson said. “Those are big shoes for me to walk into and try to fill. What's important is that I honor the legacy that Chief Kehl has established, but then also continue to establish that next generation of where we go with the Fishers Police Dept.”

No love affairs now with cars
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Tom Purcell I’m a car guy. As a teen, I spent hours working on my dad’s car, buffing and polishing it with the hope that I’d be permitted to take it out for the night with my friends. The automobile was our ticket to freedom. It saddens me that younger generations, according to a variety of recent studies, couldn’t possibly care less about the automobile. The smartphone is their connection to the outside world, after all, and their Uber driver will take them wherever they want to go. Really, they have no idea what they’re missing. The first car I ever drove was a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. It was then, and still is now, an American icon. My first car, which I bought fresh out of college, was a bright orange 1972 Plymouth Duster. It was nothing to boast about but it was all mine and gave me the freedom to explore God’s great open spaces anytime I pleased. Later came a 1987 Firebird with a T-top roof, which heightened my social life; a 1970 VW Beetle convertible that gave me the best summer of my life; a 1978 MGB convertible a few summers after that; a 2000 Jeep Wrangler 4x4 that had too many mechanical issues; eventually, a new 2010 Nissan Maxima, spacious, sleek and fast, but it was terrible in snow; a new 2012 Jeep Wrangler, for which I traded the 4x4 Jeep and Maxima; and a leased 2013 Infiniti G37X with all-wheel-drive. Now I’m driving a 2008 Toyota 4Runner that is incredibly reliable and spacious. I marvel at its quality. Memories. The youth of today will never know what they’re missing. © 2016 Tom Purcell.

Moral misanthropes Commentary by Terry Anker The French actor and playwright JeanBaptiste Poquelin is attributed with saying “I prefer a pleasant vice to an annoying virtue.” While most of us will not know Monsieur Popuelin even by his stage name, Moliere, we can all too easily identify with his sentiment. To be sure, we humans are highly resistant to the poorly delivered admonishment of others as they assert their moral, intellectual, financial, or other supposed superiority. We take the ethical example as reprobation rather than inspiration. We will repeatedly choose a polite lie over a harsh truth. Nevertheless, we have become a nation too eager to embrace vice, and too precious to note the presence or absence of virtue. Avarice, conceit, greed, sanctimony and fornication are adjectives to describe so many to whom we ascribe our admiration. In place of these words formerly one would find the concepts of prudence, thrift, trust, humility and dedication. Consider the big and memo-
rable stories from the recent Rio Olympic Games. Certainly, a great song, terrific film, amazing play, or electrifying speech may be worth lauding. But what is the ratio in the measure of a person? How many gold medals procured, millions of votes garnered, or billions of dollars earned offsets the reek of moral decay? Perhaps chief among our vices is our overreaction to annoying virtues. Somewhere along the way, we came to know that the world, like Moliere, prefers a charming scoundrel more than a moral misanthrope. It is understandable, too. But how do we measure the long-term cost of shunning ethical responsibility in the pursuit of hip hedonism? And if we could, would we behave any differently? If only it were a bit more fun.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K “Education has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.” – G. M. Trevelyan
I have had it up to the top of my ginger head with mean people! Last week in particular was a doozey. One of humor my daughter’s besties picked a fight with her, jealous over the amount of time she’d been spending with another classmate. A man completely went off on me in a school parking lot, angry that I hadn’t seen his turn signal. And some old biddy was unhelpful to the point of being obstructive to a friend of mine. Can’t we all get along? My daughter’s gal pal I can somewhat excuse. She’s at that age where friendships are both sacred and flighty, and girl drama rules. Insecurities, immaturity, and even the lunch menu can create intense situations that no one under 20 can be expected to handle gracefully. It doesn’t help that my child is Miss Sensitive, so the idea that somebody is mad at her, however irrational the reason, sends her into hysterics, which I’m then supposed to “handle.” No can do, my darling. Mom out! The guy at the school I just don’t get at all. I was in a long line of carpool traffic and honestly never saw his signal indicating his intention to park in a spot he’d already missed. So when he started to reverse, I honked. And kept right on honking until he finally stopped, rolled down his window, and screamed me the riot act. Pardon me, sir, but where are your manners? Rudeness only earns you a spot on my Dill-hole list, which beeteedubs, has just been updated. The next morning, a former colleague relayed her own mean people story. While requesting her transcript for a job application, the bitter spinster in charge outright refused to forward it because she thought the place of employment wouldn’t be interested in someone who didn’t have the “right qualifications.” What the what? Even if you are cold and dead inside, you shouldn’t treat people like that. Be nice! If nothing else, showing compassion will keep you off this dance mom’s poo list. Remember, I have melodramatic tweens and frustrated job-seekers as allies. Peace out.

Playing chicken Commentary by Dick Wolfsie What’s better than rotisserie chicken? It’s inexpensive, tasty and relatively healthful, a win-win all the way around … humor and around, and around. But Mary Ellen and I don’t rotisserize our own. We prefer the plump, herbencrusted delights at Sam’s Club or Costco. At $4.95, it’s worth the drive. We recently made the trip, hoping to get in and out quickly, since all we wanted was the chicken. On the way to the back of the store, I picked up a new iPad. There was a good deal on printer ink. I also grabbed two cases of imported beer. We selected our chicken, and on the way up to the register, Mary Ellen stocked up on some chocolate truffles they were featuring … oh, and two bottles of her favorite wine. We tasted some yummy mini eggrolls a woman was offering as samples, and then we bought several boxes to freeze. At the register, the clerk totaled our purchases. “Boy that chicken smells delish,” she said. “I know,” I responded. “How can they possibly afford to sell an entire cooked chicken for only $4.95?” “I don’t know. Okay, that will be $640. Enjoy
your dinner.” A few days later, I read in USA Today that the rotisserie chicken conglomerate (which sounds like a bad recipe for the leftovers) is coming under some heat. Consumer advocates are questioning whether a prepared bird from Costco or Sam’s Club is really worth the price on a per-pound basis. Consumers Digest claims that the rotisserie chicken “looks cheap, but it’s really not, which can easily mislead people.” (I remember my father saying something like this to my sister when she started wearing makeup in the ninth grade.) When my wife read this, she started to buy fresh chickens out of the refrigerated case again. After she gets the birds home she gives them a very careful inspection, wiggling the wings and legs, then poking the breasts and finally sniffing them thoroughly. She was sure one particular chicken wasn’t any good. I told her neither of us could pass a test like that, either.

Thank you, public safety officials Commentary by Richard Block In our society today, there have been too many negative incireader’s view dents that often mischaracterize the work of our public safety officers. The experiences of Baltimore, Ferguson, Baton Rouge and Dallas are examples of how urban tensions have boiled up, leaving communities in a state of unrest. These incidents leave people with negative feelings about public safety officials. Unfortunately, I am certain this makes our Fishers public safety officers more cautious, personally and professionally. After serving as an officer in the USAF in the early 1980s, I find there are some similarities with the anti-military feelings that existed in the ‘70s. It seems the transformation of positive feelings about the military did not happen until the ‘90s. Thankfully, most people today are very appreciative of what our military does for our country and regularly recognize these indi-
viduals publicly by saying a simple thank you or recognizing them publicly. The public safety officials in the City of Fishers are some of the finest and most professional in the country. I can’t tell you how relieved I was to learn that within 48 hours of the killing of Henry Kim, Fishers police made an arrest of an individual, thereby bringing calm back to our community. Similarly, the skill of the Fishers Fire Dept. has resulted in achieving a life-saving 34 percent cardiac success rate, far surpassing national averages. I am continuously impressed by the jobs our Fishers public safety officers perform. I would like to encourage all Fishers residents to simply say, “Thank you for your service” the next time you interact with our public safety officers. I know these officers would appreciate your recognition. Richard Block is an at-large member of the Fishers City Council. He can be reached at rblock@ fishers.in.us.
The memory mess Commentary by Pastor Mike Colaw Early on in counseling, I learned tears and passion don’t equate to truth. religion Dr. Julia Shaw, a memory expert and researcher at London South Bank University, supports this. “Much like our ability to switch the name John with Jack without realizing,” she writes, “we can quite easily change details of more important events in our memories without noticing. We can come to remember seeing and doing things that never happened.” She goes on in her research to share that this is accidentally done all the time in highly emotional questioning situations, like police interviews or counseling sessions. Yep, you read that right. Bad counselors can actually make your events more traumatic and less real. Every time you recreate the event, the mind can literally paint a more superfluous image. You mix real events with emotions and retell the story until a new “real” memory is formed. Dr. Shaw’s research led me to three conclusions: 1. The best way to probe a memory is to just listen. Don’t over-ask or “seed” memories. 2. If possible, corroboration is absolutely
much better. It’s best to compare stories like a good policeman questioning each witness separately and drawing conclusions off the similarities. 3. Only looking within to find the real truth is objectively and scientifically a flawed idea. This “new” research is eerily consistent with a document over 2,500 years old. The famous Jeremiah poetically depicts the flaws of the human mind and heart and its inability to know what is really real. For thousands of years, woven through literature, we see humanity has instinctively known what we can objectively prove today. We need an external compass. This is why so many are interested in religion — specifically, in a personal God. It’s the longing for a compass. To people who truly believe, faith isn’t just a gate to eternity; it is a sentient compass for today. Not something, but someone that brings deep personal meaning and purpose.

Fewer homes now on the market Commentary by Jim Litten In the 14-county region F.C. Tucker tracks, approximately 10,000 real estate homes were on the market in July, a 16.5 percent drop, or approximately 2,000 fewer homes for sale compared to July 2015. Although July 2016 saw fewer pended sales than July 2016, yearto-date sales are still ahead of last year by 3 percent. And average home prices continue to inch upwards, now 1.3 percent ahead of 2015. In July, Hamilton County had 1,897 active listings, a decrease of 5 percent from this time last year. Pended sales also declined 8.2 percent in July, but sales remained consistent with 2015. The average sales price also rose 1.8 percent, now at $282,131. • In Fishers/Geist, the average year-todate home sales price increased 1.8 percent to $263,927. • Inventory moved at a slightly slower pace in Fishers/Geist in July 2016. Overall, homes sold in 49 days – three more days than this time last year. • Buyers in Fishers/Geist had more options available. Last month, 605 homes were available for sale – 60 more homes

compared to July 2015. • Pended home sales declined in Fishers/ Geist. In July 2016, 169 homes sold – a decrease of 25 homes compared to July 2015. • Of the pended home sales in Fishers/Geist last month, one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 13 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 32 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 57 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 62 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and four were priced below $99,999. We’re seeing the effects of low inventory throughout central Indiana. Low inventory affects affordability, which is a crucial part of the housing market. When more affordable homes proliferate throughout the market, then we’ll see more positive gains for everyone overall.

Carmel on Canvas returns for third year By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Carmel on Canvas will bring plein air painters to the streets of the Arts and Design District for the third year. Jerry Points created the event when he had the art Eye on Art gallery in Carmel and recognized the national exposure plein air painting events were getting. Plein air is a painting that is completed outside. “There is such an increase in plein air painters participating in these events, and with that comes a number of people that want to see it,” Points said. “This is an open paint out where anyone can participate. The joy I think in what it offers to the public is the fact that you have artists that are trying to create original paintings based on what they’re looking at.” There is a $5,000 first place prize and $13,000 in additional prizes. The event is expected to draw 150 artists. There is a professional division and a non-professional division, as well as two quick paints and a teen division. On Sept. 18 from 2 to 5 p.m., artists will sell artwork in the park just south of Bub’s Burgers. On Sept. 17, a judge will determine winners, and a reception will be held at 6 p.m. with awards presented at 7 p.m. on 2nd Ave. NW. Points said most paintings are completed in two to three hours. “Coming into town, you’re going to see a number of people on the street and side streets and off of the Monon trail painting, and it’s easy to go from one to the other to see how their progress is going,” he said.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Annually we survey and observe tailgaters throughout this area, and the findings have changed only slightly over the last 20 years. The most popular food for tailgaters and Americans in general is the sandwich. So what kind of sandwich is always a hit? We have found that the bratwurst is the favorite hot sandwich with 31 percent of tailgaters but it wasn’t always so. Back in the mid-90s we served a tailgate party to the student staffers for Penn State press box. Most of them had not even heard of brats. Today that’s not the case. Johnsonville, the country’s leader in sausage, has brats for sale from Maine to California. Here are the two favorite sandwiches of tailgaters: • Bratwurst – 31 percent • Hamburgers – 13.2 percent When you see sausages cooking and there’s smoke and flames flaring up, don’t eat them - just walk away. All those flames and clouds of smoke mean the juices have escaped the sausage’s casing (outer skin) and fallen onto the coals or fire. Here’s an important point: don’t break the sausage casing with anything but your teeth. Put away those metal tongs and forks. So how do you cook brats so that they squirt juice into your mouth? Here is a recipe and directions for the best brats you ever had. Beer brats Ingredients: One package of five Johnsonville Original (uncooked) brats, One 12 oz. can of beer (your favorite brand), Five hot dog or sausage buns, French’s mustard (classic yellow, dijon or horseradish), One Small onion chopped

Preparation: Day before - Place the uncooked brats into a sauce pan and cover them with beer. Bring the beer to a simmer and cook the sausages for 20 minutes. This process cooks the inside of the sausage without breaking the casings. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and cool it with ice and cold water. When cooled, take the brats out of the water with your bare hands (no metal) and place them into a plastic zip bag and store them overnight in your fridge. On game day - Put the zip bag into your food cooler for transport to the stadium. Spray your grill with cooking spray and then heat it to cook the brats. Using gloves (clean white cotton work gloves are fine) place the brats onto the grill. Keep a pot of cold water handy to dip the gloves into to protect your hands. Turn the brats until they are as brown as you want on all sides.

Freshly baked banana nut bread can be made for dessert, a snack or fun breakfast. (Submitted photo)
Treat the kids to baked banana bread for breakfast this fall Commentary by Beth Aasen Co-owner of Donatello’s Italian Restaurant School supplies have been purchased, and kids are back in school, which can only mean it’s time for fall. If you work a lot, it can be hard to make a fresh breakfast for your kids every morning, and you feel bad serving them cold cereal and milk every day. A fun breakfast they’ll love could be a freshly baked banana nut bread. Kids can wrap and take it with them if they’re in a hurry. I know what you’re thinking, “Doesn’t she own an Italian restaurant?” Yes, but my family enjoys all types of foods. This is one autumn treat my mother would make for us when we were kids. Ingredients: 2 cups unbleached allpurpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 12 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, 3 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed (about 1 1/2 cups),
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat the inside of a cooking pan with cooking spray, preferably a 9-by-5-inch loaf span. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Combine the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and then with a mixer on medium-high speed cream together the ingredients until fluffy. This hould take two to three minutes. Add the eggs, bananas and vanilla and beat until smooth. With a wooden spoon, stir in the mixture until just combined and then stir in the chopped walnuts. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake the loaf for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in comes out clean. Let cool for five minutes in the pan before removing. If you like, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top or spread a white cream cheese icing on the outside of the banana bread to make it a dessert.

Aiming for a healthy weight Commentary by Debra Balos, DO, IU Health Physicians Family Medicine Believing that “thin is in” overlooks the true definition of what it means to be healthy. Although weight family medicine management is important, a lower number on the scale doesn’t necessarily mean you’re healthier. In addition to maintaining a reasonable weight, optimal health is based on many factors, including good nutrition, regular exercise, quality sleep and sound well-being. Setting realistic weight loss goals isn’t a bad idea. In fact, many people can gain health benefits by shedding a few pounds. Your primary care doctor can help you set achievable goals and assist in determining a weight range you should aim for given your body type and age. By checking your blood pressure, cholesterol levels and blood sugar, he or she also can assess your risk of heart attack or stroke and tell whether your weight increases your risk. When thinking about weight loss, remember that health can be improved by losing just 5 to 10 percent of your body weight. Modest weight loss, even just five or 10 pounds, can
Dispatch Safety Day — The City of Fishers’ Fire and Emergency Services are partnering with St. Vincent Fishers for the annual Safety Day event, hosted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 10 at St. Vincent, 13861 Olio Rd. The free event includes health and safety activities, live entertainment and food and drinks, plus demonstrations by the Fishers Fire Dept., emergency response vehicle tours, car seat safety inspections, bicycle safety, music safety and more.

make you feel better and increase your energy level. Instead of focusing on how much weight you think you should lose, work to make longterm lifestyle changes that will benefit your overall health: • Eat healthier – Make vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean protein the backbone of your diet. Cut down on serving sizes, and learn to know when you’re full. • Exercise daily – Try to fit at least 30 minutes of physical activity into your day. This doesn’t have to be at a gym or in a class. When pressed for time, take a brisk walk at lunchtime or climb extra flights of stairs between meetings or before work. Most importantly, ban the notion that “thin is in,” and commit to sensibly managing your weight and improving your health and well-being.

One of the most common topics our clients ask about when it comes to remodeling is the budget. People want to know design what they can expect to spend on a remodel and where that money is going. Understanding how much a project will cost will help determine the scope of the project and if financing is needed. With each project and home being different, it’s nearly impossible to give a set figure on what a renovation should cost. That said, we can provide some guidelines to help you determine an appropriate remodeling budget and understand where the costs lie. Having this information can help you decide if it’s the right time to remodel. For a complete kitchen remodel, we recommend budgeting 10 percent to 20 percent of your home’s value. It’s important to note some of the specific details that are included in the cost breakdown. Some of the biggest expenses are cabinets, which make up 38 to 50 percent of the budget, and countertops, which make up 12 to 20 percent. Mechanical costs, which include anything related to electrical, plumbing, or HVAC, are 7 to 18 percent of the total budget, and flooring can be 8 to 15 percent of the bud-

get depending on the size of the space. For a master bathroom remodel, we recommend budgeting 7 to 12 percent of your home’s value. Please note that flooring for the bathroom, which includes the floors, tile shower, and also tub deck, is approximately 25 percent of your total renovation budget. Your cabinets and countertops for the vanity can be up to 24 percent and 8 percent, respectively, of your total budget. Fixtures, including faucets, tubs, sinks, shower doors, lighting, and other accessories, can make up 15 percent of your final cost. These percentages can vary a bit with each project, but to find a more detailed budget

Golden Temple in Amritsar, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Golden Temple of equality Commentary by Don Knebel The Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, is the holiest spot on earth for millions. The people who worship there provide an travel example of living out the teachings of one’s religious beliefs. In the 15th century, Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, came to a tranquil lake in the Punjab region of northwest India to meditate. That lake and the city that grew up around it became known as “Amritsar,” the tank of immortal nectar. Beginning in 1577, the fifth guru of Sikhism squared the lake and erected a gurdwara, or temple, in the middle of it to hold the Granth Sahib, the holy scriptures of Sikhism. The temple, officially named “Harmandir Sahib,” the abode of God, was modified to its current configuration in the 18th century. In the early 19th century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, a Sikh ruler, covered the exterior with gilded copper, giving the temple its popular name. The square temple, resting on a square platform, has four entrances, symbolizing the Sikh teaching that all people and religions are entitled to equal
respect. The temple’s design incorporates both traditional Hindu and Islamic elements, again reflecting the spiritual tolerance at the heart of the Sikh religion. Each day, from before dawn to past sunset, more than 100,000 visitors from around the world, with bare feet and covered heads, silently file past the original Granth Sahib, housed on the first floor of the Golden Temple. Musicians sitting beside the holy book, considered the Sikh’s 11th and final guru, chant hymns, accompanied by instruments. Before entering, some worshippers bathe in the lake, purifying their souls. Afterwards, visitors of any faith can enjoy a free meal of lentils and flatbread prepared by legions of volunteers working in a huge kitchen nearby. For Sikhs, faith is as much a matter of doing as believing.

Preserve kids’ artwork – When your young ones bring home artwork, especially items that smudge easily like chalk, you can preserve the surface. Spritz it with hairspray. This sets the media so it won’t smudge easily. Source: RD.com
Clean curling irons – Styling gel or conditioner can cake onto curling irons, making them less efficient. Spray the iron (not plugged in) with a light coating of oven cleaner. Allow to sit for an hour. Wipe off with a damp rag and dry with a cloth for a curling iron that works like new. Source: RD.com
Shaving cream for cleaning – To clean up marks, glue or paint from a table, try this teacher’s trick: Spray a dollop of shaving cream on the surface and spread with a dry sponge. Leave for five to 15 minutes. Wipe off with a damp sponge. Essentially condensed soap, shaving cream will leave the table squeaky clean. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Source: RD.com
