Red maple trees threatened By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com First it was ash trees being destroyed by the Emerald Ash Borer and now red maples are threatened by the Asian Longhorn Beetle. Rich Basparks sett, who is a Town of Fishers Public Works project manager, said the beetle isn’t in Indiana yet but is on its way here and is destroying red maple trees as close as Cincinnati. He said there is no chemical treatment and the only way to eradicate the bug is to clear-cut trees for a mile around the infestation. The town is handling the potential loss of trees by being proactive. Bassett said the town was awarded a grant in 2012 by the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources to conduct a tree inventory of public trees, such as in municipal grounds, parks, and medians. The goal of the inventory was to determine the diversity of trees in Fishers. “Unfortunately we did have a high percentage so far that we’ve inventoried of ash trees that have been affected by the Emerald Ash Borer. It’s almost a third, 30 percent, of the trees that have been inventoried are ash trees that will be killed by the Emerald Ash Borer. Which is a pretty large percentage of the
population.” he said. Bassett said it will have impact. “So, moving forward, we want to prevent that by making sure that we have a very diverse population of trees in our community. What we found in the inventory process is that the second highest number of types of species that we have are maples, specifically red maples,” he said and added that with the Asian Longhorn Beetle on its way, the town wants to limit increasing the population of maples trees. The town is in the process of finalizing a list of recommended trees. “This is a tree list that both the town will follow for its own plantings, developers will follow for new communities, and then homeowners as part of the permitting process for planting street trees that they will also follow this new tree list,” said Bassett. Currently, Red Maples are not prohibited by the town but they are strongly discouraged. Bassett said elms and oak trees are preferred. He also recommends when taking a tree down that you keep the firewood in the local area and not move it because that could spread a disease to another area. As an example, taking firewood on a camping trip is strongly discouraged.

Fishers’ first city budget By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com At this time every year the staff of the town of Fishers puts together a proposed budget for running the town for the government next year. The interesting part of that process this year is that the Town of Fishers becomes the City of Fishers in January of 2015. So the question becomes how much more will it cost to run Fishers as a city as opposed to as a town? Mayor-elect Scott Fadness recently sat down with members of the media to go over the proposed 2015 budget and that was one question that was raised. In his estimation, it should only be around $150,000 more, which, in large part, is in salaries for the new position of City Clerk and two new Council members. Fadness, however, indicated that the Fishers Town Council will be deciding salaries since even his own, as the first mayor, is in question. The total proposed budget for 2015 is $65.4 million, which is slightly less than it was in 2014. Fadness also said that by the end of 2015 it is projected that the city will have $16.53 million in cash reserves. The good news is that there is no planned increase in the tax rate for 2015. Fadness discussed projects included in the budget such as improvements at the amphitheater which might include a dance floor and road improvements. On the road front, he had a long list of proj-

ects that will be funded, in part, by a $17.3 million federal grant over the next three years. Those projects include roundabouts at 96th Street and Lantern Road and at 96th and Cumberland Road, a right turn lane at 106th Street and Eller Road, adding lanes on 96th between Lantern and Cumberland to become a four-lane roadway, improvements to the 96th Street corridor and an extension of the Nickel Plate trail to take it from downtown Fishers to Conner Prairie, among other projects. There has been criticism about deficit spending on the part of the town which Fadness was asked about. He remarked that it’s similar to someone with a mortgage on their home. “There’s a lot of economic arguments that would say there are appropriate times to borrow money. And right now interest rates are at an all time low. I think if we can invest in our community in new infrastructure and keep taxes flat if not go down then I think it’s an appropriate time to issue debt in order to invest in infrastructure. As for the deficit spending, I think as a community we’ve had a long history of saving up money and then using it wisely to fix capital problems. For instance, the amphitheater that we built, we saved up money and we paid for it with cash, a million dollars we spent out of our cash reserves. The 111-page budget proposal is available at www.fishers.in.us/DocumentCenter/View/2754. The public will be able to have input at the Town Council meeting on Oct. 6.

HSE says goodbye to Smith
By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com After five years at the helm of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, Supt. Dr. Brian Smith officially left his post Sept. 1 to become the Executive Director of the Indiana State education School Boards Association. Reflecting on Smith’s legacy, HSE School Board President John DeLucia said Dr. Smith has done a tremendous job in many ways. He points to the Senior Academies as perhaps one of the best things accomplished during his tenure. “What is so extraordinary about this is that really we needed to add space. I think that most school corporations would have just added on the space they needed and it would look a lot like the space they had. But what Brian led was a transformational, educational opportunity with the college career academy partnering with IU, Purdue, Ball State and others getting involved, providing an incredible opportunity for the stu-

dents, really out of a need to just add space,” said DeLucia. Both Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern High School are building the Senior Academies which give seniors an opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. DeLucia said Dr. Smith will be missed. “He goes far beyond the school corporation. He was certainly the superintendent of schools but he also quickly became a true pillar of the community and a true leader of the community, being on the Chamber board and being involved in Rotary. Anything significant going on in Fishers and he’s been there for the past five years or so and that’s hard to do coming from outside,” he said. Dr. William Carnes has officially taken over as interim superintendent while a succession planning committee continues to look for a permanent replacement. DeLucia said that process is going well but no candidates have been identified yet.
Now Alex and I enjoy our walks again.

Incidents, arrests on the rise By Holly Demaree • news@currentinwestfield.com

Starts/finishes at The Children’s Museum
On Aug. 28, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office held a drug forum at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds to address the drugs rising incidents of drug use and arrests of local residents. The goal of the forum, according to law enforcement, was to educate, not lecture. Jeanine Motsay, a resident of Hamilton County, began the forum by speaking about her son, Sam Motsay, who died on May 11 due to the use of the drug NBome. S.A. Louis Arona of the Drug Enforcement Agency said NBome is about the size of a quarter and is put on a piece of paper with intriguing designs on them. “I’ve been told NBome is like LSD except it is 60 times stronger; the effects are instant and can last up to 12 hours,” Arona said. Currently there is no antidote to NBome and is most commonly seen being used by people between the ages of 15 and 29. Major A. Dietz of the Hamilton-Boone County Drug Task Force focused on how these issues are directly affecting Hamilton County. The addicts that the task force comes into to contact with the most are addicted to heroin. “One-tenth of a sweet and low is all one needs to get high off of heroin,” he said. It would cost about $20 for that amount of heroin and some pay that three to four times a day. Dietz explains that this then causes some to

steal to help pay for this habit. “One person admitted to committing 30 crimes. That is 30 victims for opiate drugs,” said Dietz. State Sen. Jim Merritt (R-Indianapolis) spoke about how drugs are affecting the Hamilton County community and the importance of the Lifeline Law, which he was instrumental in getting signed into law. “I am not willing to say goodbye to a generation,” said Merritt. “I understand kids make mistakes but it should not end their life. So, let’s use our fear for something positive and talk to our kids.”

Participants are in for a fun, unique event and one that Fishers Parks & Recreation is happy to add to their lineup. “Going forward we will continue to make sure our events are exciting and fresh,” Elliot said.

Safe families for children in Fishers By Beth Taylor • news@currentinfishers.com Homelessness, financial struggles, and potential for abusive situations lead parents to Safe Families for Children, a movefamilies ment that provides hope for struggling families. Last year, Safe Families for Children of Central Indiana provided over 250 children with temporary, safe care. Through the movement, screened and approved volunteer families host children whose families are in crisis. “Most placements last for three to four weeks, until parents are able to get back on their feet and have a safe home for their child,” said Beth Kinney, assistant director of Safe Families for Children Central Indiana and a Fishers resident. Unlike foster care, Safe Families for Children is voluntary for a family in need. Safe Families host families receive no compensation. “Our goal is to always return children to their parents,” said Kinney. Foster families are screened thoroughly. The multistep approval process begins with a criminal background check and fingerprinting of all occupants over 18 years of age who are living at the host family’s home. After a reference check and receipt of completed forms, the host family begins an online course before hosting a child. Parents must also sign a placement agreement, which includes a pledge that they will use the time in which their children are with a host fam-

ily to re-establish a safe environment for their children. Safe Families for Children will hold its annual fundraiser on Sept. 25. Held at The Mansion at Oak Hill, in Carmel, event highlights include both live and silent auctions, and a video featuring stories of hope from families who have been helped by the organization. The goal this year is to raise $60,000 to help provide support for the recent influx of families in need. “We currently have over 50 host families in Fishers. We are in need of additional families that
are interested in hosting children because the need continues to grow,” said Kinney. Although monetary donations are needed, volunteers can also donate their time and talents. High priority needs include administrative support, case management, and communications. Individual tickets for the Safe Families for Children Stories of Hope fundraiser cost $75. Tables seating eight guests are available for $600. Visit www.safe14.auction-bid.org to purchase tickets. For more information on volunteering, visit www. insafefamilies.org

H-O-A from H-E-L-L Commentary by Ann Craig-Cinnamon There’s a strong wind blowing through the Fishers neighborhood of Windermere, and it feels a lot like mutiny. neighborhoods That’s where I live and not a day goes by that I don’t hear a neighbor complain about the strong-arm, harassing tactics of our Homeowner’s Association. The issue is over replacing dead or missing trees along the streets between the sidewalk and the roadway. Apparently the HOA covenants, written 21 years ago, mandate that homeowners replace the trees in front of their homes, despite a recent HOA meeting in which people were told they didn’t have to. There are probably as many as 100 trees that are missing, including ours. Many people, like us, don’t want another tree. We already have more than 20 in our yard. We took our dying ash tree down at a significant cost and a few weeks later, received a threatening letter about replacing it. The next week another one arrived admonishing everyone to trim their trees. The third week was the best one yet: A five-page diatribe mailed to all 1,083 homes from our HOA President, an attorney and fellow resident. My favorite part of the letter was when he stated that none of the letters were intended to be threatening or harassing. That was just three sentences before he threatened legal action. So, the HOA spent $500 of our HOA

fees to mail us all a threatening letter. In big bold letters, the missive quoted the covenant as saying we must replace our tree with the same species. Since ours was an ash tree and that’s on the “do not plant” list because of the emerald ash borer, I’ve already broken that covenant. The letter also refers to maintaining the uniformity of the tree-lined streets. The problem with that is there is no uniformity anymore after 20 years of replacing trees. They are a hodgepodge of species and sizes. Then there’s the sidewalks – in some places they’re uneven and possibly dangerous. Can you guess why? Tree roots! But to add insult to injury the letter warns that, we, the homeowners, are responsible for the sidewalk in front of our house and any potential liability. Let me get this straight: You are forcing me to plant a tree that I don’t want and then when it creates an inevitable problem, it’s my fault and my responsibility?
It is good to know, though, that the HOA does take some things seriously. When I called about the dead, rotting deer in a neighbor’s backyard this past winter, no one answered the phone, no one returned my call and no one took care of the deer. Well, we spent part of our Labor Day at Allisonville Nursery where they helped us find the cheapest species-acceptable, 2-inch caliper tree on the lot and it is now planted in front of our house. Numerous others haven’t caved-in like we did. It should be interesting to see if our HOA fees are used to take legal action against our neighbors. Not very neighborly, now is it?

The St. George Festival will be held Sept. 12 and 13 for the first time at the new location of St. George Orthodox Christian Church, events 10748 East 116th Street in Fishers. The church sponsored the Middle Eastern Festival for 17 years at its prior location in Indianapolis, and the newly revamped festival builds on that Middle Eastern heritage, offering many popular features of previous festivals. “We’re still celebrating our Middle Eastern roots, but at the same time we’re expanding the format,” explains Brad Tirey, festival director. “In the past, it’s been just food, drink, and dance. We are adding other activities, demonstrations, cultural events, and more activities for youth, including hot air balloons and a carnival area.” Why change the name of the festival? Parish priest, Fr. Nabil Hanna said, “We want to honor the various other traditions of all the people who have joined and make up St. George today. We are extremely diverse. We have people of backgrounds from many countries across the world.” What’s different about this festival? “Two things,” said Fr. Nabil. “One is that it’s at our new location on 116th Street with a new Byzantine temple and beautiful iconography,” he said. “We are inviting everybody to come and celebrate with us.” Tours will explain the church’s unique architecture, as well as iconography that was recent-

ly installed by renowned iconographer, Dr.George Kordis, of the University of Athens, Greece. “Secondly, we are trying to make the festival a little more interactive. “We hope to continue the spirit of hospitality for which we have become known,” said Tirey Festival hours are 5 to 11 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12 and from noon to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13. Free admission. Offsite parking is available for $5 at Fall Creek Community Church, 10401 East 116th Street (within walking distance). Shuttle buses will run throughout the festival. Due to festival activities, parking at the St. George lot will not be available. St. George began worshipping in their new facilities in November of 2013 and held the official door opening ceremony in May of 2014.

Fishers Fire and Emergency Services launches groundbreaking healthmonitoring program By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com Fishers Fire and Emergency Services is planning to launch a new groundbreaking health monitoring and educacover story tion program that is the first of its kind in Central Indiana. The innovative WeCare program, which brings together the resources of the Fire Dept., Community Health Network and social services organizations, is already being emulated by other communities. WeCare is a program in which existing paramedics within the Fishers Fire and Emergency Services receive specialized training to conduct in-home patient assessments and provide resources and preventive services to residents of Fishers. The department is working with Community Health Network on the pilot program which is awaiting approval from the Fishers Town Council at its next meeting on Sept. 15. Fishers’ Fire Chief Steve Orusa is excited about WeCare. “We think this program will help the health and wellness of our community in the city of Fishers and will help control healthcare costs. With all the changes in healthcare reform, there’s a lot of emphasis on prevention and continuation of care once a patient leaves the hospital. Those are two gaps in health care that we’re going to try to fill with our service,” he said. “I think we’ve built a program that is going to really break new ground and that people are going to copy throughout the country.” WeCare encompasses four areas: Free blood pressure monitoring, free in-home safety evaluations, vaccinations for at-risk members of the community and free in-home follow-up of patients discharged from the hospital to monitor medication and other factors that cause hospital re-admittance. Keeping patients from having to be readmitted to the hospital is one of the key parts of the new program, according to EMS Chief Steve Davison who heads up WeCare. “Besides our normal training as paramedics, we go out and do evaluations everyday on emergency situations, so this will be the first for us to go in and do patient evaluations after they are discharged from the hospital,” said Davison. “One of the issues with readmission to the hospital is medication errors. And by helping alleviate those questions that they have, or the fact that they may have taken them mistakenly, we can help reduce some of those readmissions as well.” Davison said right now WeCare will follow up on patients with congestive heart failure and eventually other conditions will be included in the program. “We’ll be looking at people with COPD, diabetics, people that have been discharged for certain conditions; say hip replacements, and as the

landscape changes with the Accountable Care management, everything is pretty much going to be out there at some point to where we will follow up on practically any patient who is not covered by Medicare or Medicaid for home healthcare. That is what our role is going to be; to catch those people that are not covered by normal home healthcare,” he said. The department is currently working with Community Health Network but will expand to include other hospitals in the future. Shelley O’Connell, the director of Community Health’s Touchpoint Integration program, which handles geriatric services, said there is nothing like the WeCare program in the area or the region. “It adds another level of connectivity to our patients. It adds another level of follow-up for our patients to ensure that they are successful when they go home. And it also helps identify if there are other needs to connect them to make sure that they are successful when they are home that helps keep them safe and helps keep them on track for improving their overall health,” she said. Community Health coordinated the training for the paramedics and brought in experts from various areas. “We tried to be very comprehensive. The Fishers Fire Dept. already brings an expertise of doing the in-home evaluation to look for safety measures. Do they have fire extinguishers? Do they have smoke detectors in the right places of their home? Are they able to walk through their home safely? Are there rugs or chairs or furniture in the way and how do we make modifications so they
don’t trip and fall and something like that becomes a hazard? So they are doing that part of it to make sure the safety in the home is there, and they brought that expertise and we were able to bring clinical expertise from our providers within our system to the program,” said O’Connell. Privacy is always a concern and O’Connell said that the patient will be given information about WeCare at the hospital and then will decide for themselves if they want to participate or not. The program has the potential to save money for all involved. O’Connell said that there are certain conditions that if a patient is readmitted to the hospital within a 30-day period, insurance will not cover the costs, which can impact both the patient and the hospital. Fishers Fire and Emergency Services personnel are excited about the program. “It’s been fun because we’re dealing with something other than an emergency situation,” said Chief Davison. Lt. Joe Harding, who is one of five Fire Dept. paramedics involved in the program, agrees. “This is fantastic. It’s going to be a big change nationwide and to bring something like this to Fishers and to add an extra service to our residents, and to just help people out who are truly in need, is just a fantastic notion.” Another paramedic, Lt. Josh Mehling adds “I’m excited about this because of being a reactive service, which we are on the 911 system, this is a proactive way to increase the health of our community and have a better, healthy life.” All residents of Fishers are eligible to use the free program. For more information, call 595-3200.
WeCare Program
“WeCare” opens Fishers firehouses for free blood-pressure monitoring. Citizens can stop by any firehouse to have their blood pressure checked and given a card to record and track the information to give to their healthcare provider. “WeCare” offers citizens a free home-safety check to evaluate and make recommendations to help prevent falls, fire, and other accidents, in partnership with CICOA Aging and InHome Solutions, “WeCare” is a free, follow-up program for residents of Fishers returning home following discharge from the hospital from serious illness. Partnering with Community Health Network and other area hospitals, a discharge referral program will be available that will help keep patients who have experienced heart attack, heart failure or other critical heath issues, from being readmitted to the hospital. With Paramedics following up within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, many factors that cause readmission can be identified and mitigated before they become serious. “WeCare,” working with community resources, will provide vaccinations, to the at-risk population within Fishers.

Apprenticeship is taking flight
Opportunity comes in all forms and fashions, we believe. When serial entrepreneur Ron Brumbarger, he of Bitwise Solutions fame, began Apprentice University, we were all ears and major proponents of the effort. In short, AU takes the “educational industrial complex,” against which we have railed multiple times, and sends it straight down the garbage disposal. So Brumbarger got the bright idea to deploy apprentices, for pay, at area businesses, ones where they could learn up close and determine whether a particular profession is right for them. Here at Current Publishing, we decided to become more involved, and rather than simply be a supporter of AU we decided we should have our own apprentice. Enter Melissa Hicks, an AU enrollee that was sent our way without a lick of journalism experience. She had writing samples, but they were more along the lines of term papers rather than news or feature stories. So, this was going to be a ground-up initiative, and we were eager to take her on. Paying forward, we call it. People helped us once upon a time, so why not do the same? Easy answer. Done. Melissa, a Sheridan resident and a homeschooled, enthusiastic young woman, began her apprenticeship with Current a couple weeks ago. We told her she would start slowly, and we would communicate regularly in an attempt to green her as much as we’re able to in the five-month run of the apprenticeship. As a matter of fact, in our Community section today, you’ll see the initial fruits of her labor, “5 Minutes With …”. It’s not rocket science, and we told her that, but it is a perfect way for a young reporter to get out of the office, make connections and learn how to question an interview subject so that person may be “introduced” to his or her fellow readers. So far, so good. Her intellect and drive will serve her well here and well beyond the apprenticeship. It’s going to be fun helping her develop in this industry. Wish her luck.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Manners expose character Commentary by Terry Anker Crass, boorish behavior that was once the hallmark of the uneducated and uninitiated has found its way into the halls of wealth and power. To be fair, it was probably always there to some extent, but many find that their privilege releases them from the obligation of courtesy rather than holds them to it. High-minded salons have be replaced by stinking sit-ins where discourse is replaced by looting and property offence. Well-conceived and drafted editorials become profane and poorly researched blog posts which spew diatribe unworthy of the public space. Fine tailoring and shoe polish are far rarer in an airplane cabin than cargo shorts and toe fungus displayed via flip flop. While the current ethos of American culture might cry out in opposition, some of us are willing to say that our nation has become too comfortable. We eat our food from paper bags while driving on the street. We talk to each other like sailors on shore leave. And, we share family secrets with strangers as we shout into our phones in the line at
Starbucks. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is quoted as saying, “Good manners can open doors that the best education cannot.” He may have a point. Simple polite, direct conversation carries one through all manner of hardship. Learning that our own ease is not the ultimate objective helps us develop self-restraint and patience. Polite interactions are not a silly veneer wrapping our society as a relic of the Victorian era. Manners expose and develop a person’s character. Please. Thank you. You are welcome. A firm and sincere handshake. Mr. and Mrs., it is good to meet you. Somehow, we’ve confused being rude for forthright, sloppy for comfortable, and dismissive for discerning. Polite company matters, and our move from it benefits no one. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.
Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
– Leo Tolstoy
Last week I left you with a cliffhanger … my youngest sister, in labor with her first baby, had just chucked a Dammit Doll humor at the flat screen. Here’s the drama-infused conclusion, for your reading pleasure. After the doll “incident,” we headed to the hospital in downtown Chicago. She was triaged and scheduled for admittance. An hour later, still waiting for her to be moved to the labor/delivery floor, my mom and I received word that the doctors had changed shifts and the new one had overruled the admittance. Prego was headed back home. Of course Doctor No. 2 soon acquired a very unflattering nickname which I cannot repeat here, but which did make us all feel a tad bit better. After a good cry and a few choice words, Prego decided she was starving, so we drove to the nearest diner. Sometimes fries and a milkshake are the only answers. Back home, we all tried to rest, but because I was relegated to the couch in the sunny living room, sleep eluded me. I bounced back and forth between episodes of “Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team” and “Jerry Maguire.” Heaven! At one, another sister arrived, and together we forced Prego out of the house. We spent the afternoon hoofing around her neighborhood, hitting antique shops, toy stores and a very glamorous grocery store with two martini bars and a jazz quartet right there in produce. By dinner, Prego wasn’t smiling anymore. The tears re-appeared at nine, as pain and fatigue joined forces to smite Prego’s attitude. She felt certain she should return to the hospital but was terrified they would send her home again. My other sister, a litigator by day, made it quite clear that as long as she was around, there’d be no such nonsense. Not on her watch! Are we clear? ARE WE CLEAR!? So at midnight, with Prego at six centimeters and an epidural SWAT team on standby, we excitedly awaited the birth. By 2:30 a.m. however, there’d been no progress, and No. 2 banned us from the room. Party over. The daddy-to-be texted a short while later that the baby was in distress and that Doctor No. 2, whose nickname we’d quietly repealed, had ordered an emergency C-section. No worries! This baby story has a happy ending. My sister and new nephew are doing great, and the Dammit Doll is resting easy knowing no further abuse will come to her. At least not until this parenting gig gets real, that is! Peace out.

Beef & Boards announces 2015 season Lineup is odd, crazy – even kooky – with two new shows to its stage editorial@youarecurrent.com It will be a season of high flying, snappy dancing, belly laughing and endless excitement as Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre theatre presents a fabulous lineup in 2015 that includes two new productions to its stage. With a variety of shows to choose from, the 42nd Season can be described as odd and crazy – and even creepy and kooky but entertaining. Dec. 27 through Feb. 2 The season gets off to a solid start with the classic Neil Simon comedy: “The Odd Couple,” which marks its 50th Anniversary in 2015. Two Beef & Boards favorites will star in this tale of mismatched roomates, with Jeff Stockberger as the easygoing Oscar Madison and Eddie Curry as the uptight Felix Ungar, who moves in with Oscar after his marriage falls apart. Feb. 12 through April 4 Beef & Boards will be filled with all things Gershwin as it presents the all-American musical “Crazy For You.” Winner of three Tony Awards and based on the 1930 musical “Girl Crazy,” the story centers around Bobby Child, who is sent to Nevada to foreclose on a theatre. But when he falls in love with the local postmistress, he devises a plan to save the theatre. Songs include “I’ve Got Rhythm,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me.” April 9 through May 10 A parody of American musical comedy of the 1920s, “The Drowsy Chaperone” will make its Beef & Boards debut. The show won five Tony Awards in 2006, including best original score. A middle-aged musical theatre buff plays the record of his favorite musical and the show comes to life – with two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, gangsters posing as pastry chefs, and an intoxicated chaperone. May 14 through July 3 The imaginations of the young and young at heart will soar to Neverland with Peter Pan. Fly with Peter and his friends in this musical adaptation of the play by Sir James M. Barrie to a land of mischievous fairies, an Indian tribe, a ticking crocodile, bungling pirates and the famous Captain Hook, played by Jeff Stockberger. This production features $10 discounts off tickets for all kids ages 3-15.
THIS WEEK ‘My Fair Lady’ – The Actors Theatre of Indiana will perform the musical “My Fair Lady” Sept. 12 through 28 at the Studio at CARMEL the Center for the Performing Arts. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. The classic musical includes the songs “Wouldn’t it be Lovely?,” “The Rain in Spain,” “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “Get Me to the Church on Time” and “I’ve grown Accustomed to Her Face. Cost is $40 with student and senior citizen discounts. For more information, call 843-3800 or visit www. actorstheatreofindiana.com.

The Ten Commandments of tailgating Tailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley (Here are the first five commandments; the rest will follow next week.) I. Thou shall plan ahead Nothing is worse than a hap hazard tailgate party. You need to coordinate with others to settle on menu items and the assignment thereof. It’s also important to decide who brings what equipment. A four-person tailgate doesn’t need two heavy-duty grills and eight folding chairs. II. Thou shall arrive early and not rush Tailgating is a relaxed time for friends to eat, drink and socialize. You are back on campus or at a professional stadium for the day. Enjoy yourself like a grown-up. Don’t cause stress by having to rush in the setting-up of your equipment. Even more important (for food safety, see Commandment 9), don’t rush your food preparation. III. Thou shall not diet Nothing ruins the fun at a tailgate party more than a vocal self-appointed judge of cholesterol, calories, triglycerides and anything else that can be brought to attention as you take the second bite of some scrumptious food. Sure we all have to watch what we eat, but many medical people say that you can eat most anything in moderation. So, even the most sinful deserts are allowed if one doesn’t overdo things. The food at a tailgate party should be similar to foods you’d serve on your patio or deck when you have guests over for a cookout. IV. Thou shall display your colors Your tailgate party should be a festive tasteful expression of school and or team spirit. If you would decorate your yard for a Fourth of July cookout, shouldn’t you do the same for a tailgate party at your stadium? Show your colors. You can buy flags and banners to fly over your tailgate and clothes that are in school/team colors with the latest super graphics and logos. V. Thou shall not be boorish If you would have guests to your house or were to visit the home of a friend, there would be a certain accepted cordial behavior. The same

cordiality should be present at your tailgate site. Be kind to visitors from the other school/teams. Thank them for coming and offer them a drink. Nothing will do more to spread good cheer than a warm greeting from you and the offer of a drink. They will melt. Here’s a good warm-weather recipe for everyone’s favorite dish, deviled eggs. FIERY DEVILED EGGS Ingredients: 12 large eggs, room temperature, 1 tablespoon vinegar, lettuce leaves, 3 tablespoons Frank’s RedHot original cayenne pepper sauce, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1/2 cup minced celery, 1/4 cup minced red onion, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Directions: Place eggs in a single layer in bottom of large saucepan; cover with water. Add vinegar to water. Bring to a full boil. Immediately remove from heat. Cover; let stand 15 minutes. Drain eggs and rinse with cold water. Set eggs in a bowl of ice water; cool.

Chita Rivera makes a comeback
By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com
She first captured America’s attention by creating the peppery Anita – with swirling skirts and attitude to spare – in “West Side theatre Story” more than a half-century ago. Chita Rivera has epitomized pizazz ever since, and has a couple of Tony Awards as well as the 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom to confirm her special qualities as an entertainer. Now Actors Theatre of Indiana is bringing her to Carmel in the one-woman show that debuted in New York to celebrate her 80th birthday last year. Her current national tour of “Chita: A National Celebration” reacquaints audiences with the stamp she put on such shows as “West Side Story,” “Sweet Charity,” “Chicago,” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” Born in Washington, D.C., to a musician and a government worker, Rivera started moving toward her triple-threat stature as an entertainer as an 11-year-old ballet student. Her success led to a scholarship to the American School of Ballet, headed by George Balanchine. Rivera’s student move to New York positioned her to win the audition for the role of the heroine Maria’s best friend, Anita. They are the principal female figures on the Puerto Rican side of the show’s tragic rivalry between two street gangs. The conflict and its outcome are based loosely on Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy, “Romeo and Juliet.” Anita’s show-stopping number celebrating her
community’s advantages in its new homeland, “America,” was the vehicle for establishing the young star’s rise. She repeated her 1957 triumph in the role in London, then went on to be featured in a host of other Broadway productions. Two of them – “The Rink” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman” – brought her two Tony Awards. Among Rivera’s recent productions on Broadway are “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” and “The Dancer’s Life” – the latter a Terence McNally work written in her honor. She was cited for her career achievements with a Kennedy Center Honor in 2002, becoming the first female Hispanic recipient of the award.

Annual event becomes fundraiser By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com
For the past three years, Noblesville Main Street has hosted its annual Firefighters Chili Cook-off during the SatPhilanthropy urday farmers market in October. This year, the event will be held on Sept. 11 as a special reminder and appreciation for the city’s first responders. “We’re working in collaboration with fire departments in Hamilton County to raise funds and awareness to the work done daily,” NMS Executive Director Chris Owens said. Owens creates the change to Thursday night produce market master Darren Peterson. “Darren does a great job coming up with unique programming to support Noblesville,” he said. “I think it just makes sense to support this great cause. Hopefully it will bring in people from across the county.” The Noblesville Main Street Thursday Market is 5 to 8 p.m. in the urban park on the south side of Conner Street between Eighth and Ninth streets. As part of the competition, local fire stations will be using ingredients from the market. Owens said visitors can sample chili from various firefighting chefs and then vote for their favorites by making cash donations to the team’s boot. The team with the most cash in the boot wins bragging rights until the next chili contest. All donations will go to the Hamilton County

Fallen Firefighters Memorial. A section of the World Trade Center, which will be installed in the memorial, along with firefighting apparatus and details about the fallen firefighters project will be on display at the Thursday Market. Local 4416 President Tony Murray said the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighters Memorial is scheduled for installation in the next two years behind the Hamilton County Judicial Center. The park-like setting of the memorial is designed by Hittle Landscaping and includes a sculpture of a grieving firefighter by Arizona sculptor Nicholas Wilson. “We want to create and include a memorial for Sept. 11. It’s such a profound event in our country’s history. We pause each year to remember,” Murray said. “We must never forget our members who gave their lives.”

Getting ahead of macular degeneration Q: My mother and aunt both have macular degeneration. Am I likely to get it also? - Jan S., Noblesville
BOLT
A: Age-related macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness in the adult population. It has two forms: Dry, or atrophic (90 percent), and wet, or exudative (10 percent). Heredity is one risk factor, but others include age, gender, ethnicity, UV exposure, smoking, diet and nutrition and heart disease. Obviously, some of these factors we can control while some we cannot. I do recommend patients eat a diet that includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially dark-green leafy ones like spinach, as well as take a daily vitamin/mineral supplement that includes lutein. It is also advisable to not smoke and to avoid secondhand smoke. One very important thing to note: I have several patients with mild-to-moderate dry macular degeneration who have no symptoms. They are correctable to 20/20 vision and would never know they have the disease if not for a

Active managers aren’t conventional Commentary by Adam Cmejla
stock mutual funds underperformed the S&P 1500 total stock market over the past five years. (For the complete study, check out my tweeted link @acmejla). I prefer to call “actively managed” the conventional approach to investing. There are four themes that I derive from conventional investing. First, it relies on predictions about an individual stock or investment and how it is going to perform in the future. Not only that, but you’re in essence betting that you know more about where that stock is going to go than the collective knowledge of the entire market! Think about it: if you were right, and everyone else agreed with you, then the price would already be what you thought it was going to be. Simple economics. For the full-length version of this column, visit www.currentinwestfield.com
If you are a disciple of “active management” in the investment world, then you are a strong believer in the notion that gifted finance and talented fund managers can identify stocks that will rise in price and turn away from those that will decline in value. In theory, they can identify – before anyone else and before any market decline – when it’s the best time to get in and out of the market. Ergo, their mission is to “beat the market.” Their expertise, skills, and goal to outperform is used to justify their (usual) higher costs and turnover (thus potentially higher tax consequences) as compared to traditional “indexing” or other, more evidence-based investment philosophies. The data, however, speaks otherwise. Standard & Poor’s released its year-end 2013 “S&P Indices Versus Active Funds Scorecard” that compares the performance of actively managed mutual funds to their S&P benchmark indices. For the five years that ended on Dec. 31, 73 percent of large-cap domestic funds, 78 percent midcap funds, 67 percent, and 80 percent REIT funds underperformed their benchmark indices. Almost two thirds actively managed domestic

Ahmedabad’s home of history Commentary by Don Knebel
Ahmedabad is the world’s third-fastest growing city. Despite needing residential land, the Indian government has reserved travel prime real estate along Ahmedabad’s central river as a memorial to the man Indians revere as the Father of the Nation. In 1915, after working 21 years in South Africa as a lawyer, Mohandas Gandhi came to Ahmedabad to employ his ideas of non-violent resistance in support of Indian independence. In 1917, he acquired 36 acres of wasteland along the west bank of the Sabarmati River and built an “ashram” on the previously snake-infested site. He and his followers lived together at the ashram seeking truth while practicing Gandhi’s ideals of discipline, chastity, religious tolerance, self-reliance and non-violence. One of Gandhi’s objectives was demonstrating that Indian people did not need to rely on the British, so he and his followers made their own cloth and grew their own food. In 1930, while living at the ashram, Gandhi organized a 241-mile march to the sea protesting the British salt tax. The event eventually led to the arrest of 60,000 people and galvanized the Indian public in support of independence. After the march, the British government
seized Gandhi’s ashram. India received its independence in August 1947. Five months later, before Gandhi could return to the ashram, he was assassinated by a Hindu nationalist who thought his teachings were too tolerant of Muslims. The government now maintains the tranquil, tree-filled grounds of the “Sabarmati Ashram” as a shrine to the person Indians now call “Mahatma,” the Great Soul. Some of Gandhi’s simple personal possessions are exhibited in the small house where he lived for 12 years with his wife, Kasturba. A museum houses his letters, writings and pictures and displays some of his most famous teachings, including, “If blood be shed, let it be our own” and “Forsake not truth, even unto death.” The museum also displays the folding spinning wheel that Gandhi encouraged Indians to use to reduce their dependence on British imports. The Sabarmati Ashram is Ahmedabad’s most popular destination. For admirers of Gandhi’s philosophy of tolerance and non-violence, it should be part of any trip to India.

Center of it all: The kitchen island Commentary by David Decker The modern kitchen fulfills many different roles. It’s a family gathering place, a house party hotspot, a homework help center, indoors a storage headquarters and a five-star restaurant. For many homeowners, the functionality of a kitchen begins with a well-designed island. Islands are ideal for a variety of kitchen tasks including cooking, baking, cleanup, storage, informal dining, entertaining party guests and more. And because they can be accessed from multiple sides and heights, it’s much easier to gather around the kitchen island than the kitchen table. There are many ways to design a functional kitchen island, but let’s take a look at a few of the must-have features. First, you’ll want to decide what you are going to use the island for most frequently, and use those functions to devise your design and storage plan. For example, if you would like to use the island as a food prep station, include outlets for small appliances, a prep sink and storage for cooking utensils such as cutting boards, knives and mixing bowls. Or if you are using the island as a dining area, make sure the countertop height is designed to fit standard chairs or stools. The island should be crafted to fit your utilitarian needs. Because most islands require quite a bit of space, it’s important to strategically plan your design. You may want to select a moveable island instead of a built-in, station-
Deciding what functions the island will be used for most frequently is the first step to devise design and storage plans. (Submitted photo)
ary one. Be sure to select an island size and style that won’t overwhelm your kitchen. If you choose to include seating with your island, you’ll want to pick chairs or stools that don’t get in the way of the workflow. Otherwise, your kitchen may become difficult to navigate. You’ll also want an effective cabinetry design. Creating more built-in storage means your island will appear more spacious, inviting and tidy. Within your cabinetry, try installing lazy susans, pullout shelves, or deep drawers to maximize the space. You can even install appliance garages to store toasters, mixers, juicers and more, so that they are out of sight when not in use. There are
even cabinetry designs that feature built-in spice racks, trashcans or utensil organizers, so you can use every last inch of available space. The key to creating a savvy kitchen island is planning. Use every square inch effectively and you’ll be surprised at how your kitchen space can be transformed.
