Fishers awarded for environmental sustainability By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Many of us are doing our best to attempt to “go green” in our daily practices to help provide a healthier environment. While this may be a new practice for some, conservation the city of Fishers has been practicing green standards for years. For it’s eighth year in a row, Fisher has received the Indiana Department of Environmental Management’s CLEAN Community award, something eco-conscious residents should certainly applaud. “To be named the eighth year in a row is quite an honor, and I hope it’s something that the residents take a lot of pride in because it speaks to how thoughtful and forward-thinking our community is. Not just the residents that live here but the city staff,” Fishers Deputy McGrath Mayor Leah McGrath said. In order to achieve the award, the city must set certain goals regarding eco-friendly practices and not only achieve those goals, but also continue to plan new goals for the future. “You have to submit a pretty thorough application to be designated an IDEM CLEAN Community,” McGrath said. “You not only have to show what you’ve already accomplished, you have to demonstrate what you’re going to achieve in the next four years as well. IDEM, they’ll look at how we are behaving as a CLEAN Community, did we achieve the goals we set last time around, and then they will look at what our goals are for the future.” In addition to completing its five quality of life challenges, Fishers has set its next set of objectives scheduled to be completed by 2018. These include further reducing vehicle emissions of city vehicles, increase energy conservation in municipal buildings and increasing

the city’s forestry budget. Fishers will also add walking and biking trails and plans to develop rain and community gardens within the city. While receiving the award may be a common occurrence in some cities, Fishers ability to receive the award for eight consecutive years demonstrates its dedication to remaining an environmentally conscious municipality. “It’s not uncommon that communities get the award more than once, but I think eight times (in a row) really demonstrates our commitment to this award,” said Casey Cawthon, marketing and public relations manager. “We love the recognition, but we much more love the fact that we are planning for future sustainability and Cawthon things like that.” In fact, Fishers’ organization in environmental sustainability is carried out so well that IDEM actually uses their methods as a model for other cities looking to
become a CLEAN Community. “We’re very organized I think in the way that we approach this. The (IDEM representative) said she will in fact use Fishers and the way that we approach this as a template or example for other communities that are interested in becoming and IDEM CLEAN Community,” McGrath said. Within weeks of receiving the award the city also was designated by the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns as Green Community of the Year, another accolade demonstrating Fishers’ devotion to environmental conservation. “We received the Green Community of the Year award from the Indiana Association Cities and Towns. I believe it was a 40-page application that looks at what we’ve already accomplished but also what we hope to accomplish in the future,” McGrath said. “Having both of those awarded in the same few weeks again speaks volumes to the great, smart, proactive work that’s happening here to keep our community vibrant and sustainable.”

Local author signs new book By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Brian Sweany took the “write what you know” memo to heart. Sweany, a 44-year-old literature Fishers resident, has written “Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride” based on many of his life experiences. The book will be released by Sweany Rare Bird Books on April 12, 2016, followed by a national tour. “I’m getting the support I never got before,” Sweany said. The book is actually a reworked version of his first two books, “Exotic Music of the Belly Dancer” and “Making out with Blowfish.” Those were eBooks that were not effectively marketed by an eBook boutique publisher, Sweany said. That Australian publisher mostly featured female erotica
original authors. “I was the male author they never figured out how to publish to their audience,” Sweany said. His new publisher suggested combining the first two books into one novel with new material. The new novel centers on the same character from his first two books, Hank Fitzpatrick, a character with some similarities to Sweany in his youth. “He’s a Garp character, a boy figuring out to be a man when all the examples of men in his life are monstrous examples of what a man should be,” said Sweany, referring to John Irving’s “The World According to Garp” character. William McKeen, who was one of Hunter S. Thompson’s biographers, described the novel as “‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ meets ‘Leave It to Beaver.’” “That’s a really good description of it,” Sweany said.
Road closure at 116th Street coming Oct. 21-25 news@currentinfishers.com
The city of Fishers will be closing 116th Street at the Nickel Plate traffic District railroad crossing from Oct. 21 to 25. The closure was strategically planned to occur during Hamilton Southeastern Schools’ fall break. The closure is part of an improvement project to the railroad crossing and surrounding approaches. A grant was provided by the Indiana Department of Transportation
and the Federal Rail Authority for approximately $40,000 with the project totaling at approximately $370,000. In addition to the railroad crossing, the crosswalk at 116th Street and Municipal Drive will also undergo improvements. Commuters in the area are encouraged to follow the posted detour routes during the closure. Fishers Police will have additional patrols in the area and traffic engineers will be onsite during peak traffic hours to manually operate traffic signals.

What it means: For the 2015 year, approximately 13,000 pounds of pasta was raised and donated to local food banks. This is the fourth year for the Pasta Bowl at HSE. Board members discussed the implementation of a new high school appeals process for eighth grade students going into high school. Students pre-designated to either one of the two high schools will have the ability to appeal their pre-designated school and opt for the other. Students do not need to give reason for their appeal.
Pre-K & Kindergarten through 8th Grade
OPEN HOUSE
What it means: Students are assigned a high school based on the district they fall in. Over the past three years, the rebalancing techniques currently used have resulted in an imbalance of students. In a replacement of the re-balancing efforts to keep the schools’ student population within a 5 percent range of the other, students can appeal their pre-assigned school outside their residing district.

The stories you tell yourself Commentary by Mike Colaw Have you ever noticed how a trusted friend or beloved family member can candidly call you out on something foolreligion ish you have done, and even if you don’t like it you can take it? Now contrast that with how you feel when a co-worker you really don’t like does something as mild as roll their eyes at you or make an arrogant smirk in your direction. Why does something so mild from one person set you ablaze, while strong accountability from a trusted loved one doesn’t? A boss at work can drop extra work on your table, and if you believe he only trusts you to do good work it’s a compliment. If you believe it was malicious, it's a huge insult. In the book Crucial Conversations, the authors identify the primary story most people instantaneously tell themselves when something happens to them they don't like from a person they don’t trust. I am the victim and the other person is the villain. What stories are you telling yourself that invoke deep emotional responses without re-
ally thinking through the situation? You may even have the facts correct and not see it in a healthy way. Like the caricature self-portrait hanging in my office, the basic ideas are true, (big nose, beard, glasses) but it isn’t really an accurate picture. It’s greatly exaggerated. After years of counseling I can most definitely say much fury is birthed from greatly exaggerated perspectives of actual facts. Most people respond to real or perceived threats in one of two ways - make the person suffer or run away. This attitude can be exemplified differently but could be as simple as talking bad about someone or refusing to participate in a relationship. Fight or flight. Jesus offers a better response. The meta-theme in the book of 1 Peter depicts this well. We are to be the witness of the Gospel in our situation. Jesus trusts us to exemplify his nature in our hard places. Don’t play the victim, live out the ways and nature of Jesus. Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church. You may e-mail him at justthink@ luke117.com.

Volunteers pitch in to help gather bikes for veterans
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Sometimes it does indeed take a village, or, in this case, a city. Several Fishers residents played a part to help secure bicycles for three veterans in need. “It’s a cool story how this man reached out to someone, and in the city of Fishers, evcover story eryone pulled together to do their part,” said Laurie Quinn, commons manager at Crosspoint, a Fishers church, and president of the Kiwanis Club of Geist. Matt Bernard, from Easter Seals Crossroads, contacted Fishers City Councilman Todd Zimmerman to see if he could help find bicycles. The veterans, who requested not to be identified because of medical privacy issues, were at-risk of becoming homeless or staying in veterans housing, said Sara Croft, media relations manager from Easter Seals Crossroads. The bicycles allow transportation for the trio to get to and from work. Easter Seals Crossroads’ mission statement is to improve the life of children and adults with disabilities, special needs or challenges by promoting inclusion, independence and dignity. Another role is to connect qualified veterans who are seeking employment with employers within the community. Zimmerman, in turn, reached out to Crossroads. Quinn, who volunteers for several nonprofits, was more than happy to get involved to help. “I love helping people,” said Quinn, who also rides mountain bikes. Quinn contacted Jim Moffitt, owner of Fishers-based LoKe Bicycles, and Moffitt put Quinn in contact with Fishers resident Dave Alves of Conquest Cycling, a nonprofit group which refurbishes bicycles to donate to those in need. Alves “Everything took off from there,” Zimmerman said. “It’s really cool. It’s a small story, but at the same time, that helps everyone understand what community means and what being able to help those people that gave of themselves for our country. We’re giving back a small piece to them to help them get back on their feet and be able to get some transportation. It’s not one person who fixes things. It’s about a community. It definitely wasn’t me. It was several people. Mostly (Conquest Cycling) who was able to get bicycles that were safe for them to ride.”
Conquest’s mission Conquest Cycling is made up of men who love to ride and help people. “We’re a men’s cycling team that rides as peloton. We also have a repairing peloton,” Alves said. Alves said Conquest Cycling, made up of volunteers, is in the final stages of becoming a 501c3. “We began as an outreach project, refurbishing bicycles for Circle City Relief,” said Alves, a Fishers resident who is a member of the group’s board. “From there we realized the big need for repairing bicycles. Eventually people started donating bicycles and we repair them and found people with a need. We repair bikes for veterans, people with reading problems at school, the homeless. Every third Sunday we have a mobile unit that goes down to Circle City Relief to repair bikes for that area in Indianapolis.” Circle City Relief is a Christian organization dedicated to helping those in need of resources. Conquest Cycling was foundCarleton ed by Carmel residents John Wright and Eric Carleton. “Many of us go to Grace Church, and we kind of met there,” Alves said. "There are nine or 10 organizations we give bikes to."

Patrick Sandy, president and CEO of Easter Seals Crossroads, said his organization has always served veterans. “But after receiving funding specifically to devote to the initiative, we were able to dedicate more energy to finding veterans and connecting them to the resources they need,” Sandy said. “We quickly realized just how many veterans needed support and how many of them we were able to impact within central Indiana. Our services do not stop once our team finds a veteran a meaningful career. We have to help them keep that job, through continual workplace training and by providing resources for veterans to get to and from work. These bikes are just one additional way for us to support the men and women who served our country.”

FR O M T HE B A C K SH O P Has GOP quit Obamacare fight? This is astute quizzing by a capital journalist: David M.

We know Donald Trump (R-Billions), who leads the polls for his party’s presidential nomination, wants government to own and manage health care. ••• Surprise, surprise! Hillary Rodham Clinton (DNew York) is said to have won the first debate among Democratic contenders for the nomination.

That was a really poor move. ••• Oh, yeah, Real Clear Politics polling averages show that 63.7 percent of the nation believes President Barack Obama is leading the nation down the wrong path. That’s a statement result. ••• Atsa lotta pasta! The Pasta Bowl results are in for the recently concluded event, and Hamilton Southeastern Schools donated more than 13,500 pounds of carbs to local food banks. That is one heck of a contribution!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Lack of counsel
Commentary by Terry Anker
Experts, consultants and professionals – oh my! We are constantly surrounded by the promise of secret solutions and quick fixes. These experts tell us that if we could only get the right advice, our challenges would be resolved and our futures would brighten. Specialization, perhaps more than any other single element of human evolution, has allowed for the expansion of our individual quality of life. Yet, it has also fostered unprecedented dependency. There was a time, not that long ago, when we each were able to maintain our own automobiles, grow and prepare our own food, file our own taxes, and repair our own homes. The degree of complexity now built into these machines and systems has excluded the average human from being able to participate. It is always good to have the insight of someone who has traveled the path before embarking on a journey; however, we may have become so dependent upon the prom-
ise of easy answers that we are dismissing our personal responsibility and potential to learn these trades. Does the constant reliance on so-called experts beg the question, “How is the status determined?” Is it based upon academic training, credentialing, practical experience or simply a title on a business card? It would be a deep error to overlook the advisory class en masse because after all, is it really possible to be a jack of all trades? An old proverb asserts “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” So, how do we trust and make good use of professional advisors without descending into a trap where those making our decisions are less competent than had we simply done the work ourselves?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K There are obstacles. You can’t change that. But you can change your attitude about obstacles. And that is the key to finding a way through. – Tim Kight
My husband Doo and I had an epic blow-up the other night, so much so that we have already dubbed it the “Controhumor versial Phone Call Incident of 2015.” The cool part, other than the fact that I actually yelled a swear word, in anger, at him, on purpose, which has never before happened in the 25 year history of our relationship, is the way we handled the reconciliation. For once, impersonal technology saved the day. First, the fight. Doo took a conference call at 9:15 p.m. in bed as I was trying to sleep. He assured me it would only last five minutes, but 30 minutes later he was still on. I finally snapped, emphatically articulated the aforementioned curse, and caused Doo to totally lose his schtick. Trust me when I say his reaction was impressively combustive. Fortunately, we recognized that we were both too exhausted to sort through the debris in the moment, and decided to postpone “the talk” until the mutually agreed upon future time of “later.” I slept terribly, as did Doo, and busy schedules kept us from even seeing each other the following day. Doo was literally asleep before I returned home from the kids’ carpool schlep. The next morning I tested the waters. I sent a beautiful email that would have made any marital counselor proud. I took responsibility for my role and apologized for my behavior, I explained how his actions had made me feel, and inserted just the right amount of humor to show I wasn’t angry anymore. A few hours later came Doo’s reply. He also owned up to his part in the CPCI, said he was sorry, and thanked me for getting the forgiveness ball rolling. And of course, he was obnoxiously funny. Done. Fight over. Now maybe email isn’t the “recommended” way to communicate after a big argument, but Doo and I are both too hot-headed to demonstrate grace and understanding faceto-face. We need the ability to organize and edit our thoughts before the other hears (or reads) them. For us, email is the perfect solution. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Things learned at my 50th reunion Commentary by Dick Wolfsie If you wear the wrong name tag, most people won’t know the difference for at least an hour. humor The group I hung out with in 1965 didn’t take drugs. Now, we all do. All the girls who said they once had a crush on me should have mentioned this five decades ago. “So, how have you been?” is a really stupid question to ask someone you haven’t seen in 50 years. People will remember stuff about you that even you don’t remember. This is not anything to be concerned about. I hope. I hugged people I would never have hugged in 1965. I swear there were three guys gobbling down the shrimp at the buffet table who were not in our class. A few people thought I was Dick Wolf, who produced the hit show “Law and Order,” and that I had simply shortened my name from Wolfsie. I let them think they were right. I told many of the women they looked great

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30 AT 8PM | THE PALLADIUM Performing Alvin Ailey’s signature work, Revelations, the company is sure to deliver an evening of dazzling choreography & movement. Alvin Ailey said that one of America’s richest treasures was the cultural heritage of the African-American experience - “sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant, but always hopeful.” This performance is a tribute to that heritage. Using AfricanAmerican traditional spirituals, this suite fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul. “The entire company… looks terrific. Clearly, the future is theirs.” – The New York Times

for 68. Larry Leventhal told them they looked great for 48. Guess who did better with the ladies in high school? All the women at the reunion admitted to having a crush on the math teacher, Mr. Walsh. And so did two of the guys. It was great to see some old faces, although some of us had new faces over the old ones. Despite a good cross-section of race and religion, we all had two things in common: Social Security and Medicare. It was great to see Michael, although he’s Madeleine now. Some people danced, but there wasn’t nearly as much making out on the dance floor as 50 years ago. I am the only alumni now living in Indiana. Henry Rosenbloom lives in Ohio.

Another mass killing and another gun control debate. Reading, watching and interacting in the increasingly divisive gun control and shrill gun conversation this weekend reinforced an understanding that apparently both sides are beyond addressing the actual problem and working toward a rationale compromise within the framework of the Constitution. Anti-gunners easily dismiss pro-gunners as delusional nutty cowboys. Pro-gunners, not to be outdone, just as easily dismiss anti-gunners as weenie Euro wannabees. Anti-gunners believe that guns themselves are the “cause” of murders and want to restrict their availability, positing that this will help end the violence. Pro-gunners believe that the number of unhinged violent people is increasing and that guns are needed for protection, not just from tyrannical governments, but also the growing number of crazies bent on doing harm. Regardless of position, the issue boils down to this: How much liberty are we willing to
cede in exchange for apparent security against the abusers? The right to protect ourselves, like other fundamental rights, is rooted in the Constitution and essential to our country’s commitment to individual liberty. Rights are defined in the context of absolutism, otherwise they would not be a right. This right, like it or not, is one of those absolute rights. And, like all rights, it will always be abused by some. Abusers of the “right to bear arms” will, by definition, misuse weapons. And the misuse of weapons, by definition, will inevitably cause our society harm. The commitment to upholding fundamental rights sometimes causes great harm. The pain associated with the harm doesn’t diminish the value of the right, nor the government’s obligation to respect it. In other words, rights are expensive because they are worth having.

Couple shares why Carmel is a good place to look for ghosts By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com For Westfield residents Nicole and Michael Kobrowski, exploring paranormal activity isn’t just for Halloween. “For us, ghosts are for halloween all seasons,” said Nicole, 47. The couple has been operating Historic Indiana Ghost Walks & Tours since 2002 and gives about 50 tours all year around, mostly in Hamilton Co. Nicole has been researching ghosts for more than 30 years since she grew up in a house that she believed was haunted in Anderson. She met and married a friendly German man named Michael, now 44, during her time overseas and they moved to Hamilton Co. in 2000. In addition to the tours, they founded a niche publishing company called Unseenpress. com in 2006 and Nicole published her first book, “Haunted Backroads: Central Indiana.” She’s published four other books since: “The Encyclopedia of Haunted Indiana,” “Ghosts of Westfield,” “Ghosts of Madison County,” “Indiana and Fractured Intentions: A History of Central State Hospital for the Insane.” The couple also helps organizations that have haunted buildings by conducting haunted overnight investigations as fundraisers. For more, visit unseenpress.com/general/ tours.htm. How does Carmel compare to other places like Westfield, Fishers, Noblesville and

Indianapolis when it comes to ghosts? Indianapolis is large and older so one would expect more stories. Noblesville was wild and a bit woolly, which also lends itself to ghosts. Fishers is interesting because aside from a couple of cemeteries there aren’t many hauntings we know of. Some people believe it is because all of the old buildings are gone, but if anything the new construction should stir them up a bit. Westfield has a lot of lovely ghosts from the Underground
Railroad period and beyond. Carmel is unique. Physically, it is an eclectic mesh of old and new, and we have heard of some stories in newer buildings that we’re going to check out this winter. However, overall Carmel seems to lag behind in the ghost department. What characteristics are usually found in a place that’s haunted? Is it just old? Ghosts are for all seasons and all places. They don’t just reside in old homes. We’ve
experienced activity and interviewed people who live in brand new homes with activity. It is what happened on the land, and with the organic things that are in the homes, the furniture and other possessions brought in and what might be attached to people in the buildings. How do you know which stories of ghosts are real and which ones are not? After years of research, you can weed some out by instinct, but you can also weed them out by asking the right questions. When we interview people, we have no reason not to believe them, and it is disheartening when someone gives you a “story” when they feel they have something to gain (such as being written about in a book). We also try to investigate as many of the stories as possible through paranormal investigation to try to prove or disprove them. It is always very exciting to get the same personal type ghost story about the same place from people who do not know each other.
Top 3 haunted places in Carmel According to Nicole and Michael Kobrowski 1. Woody’s Library Restaurant (40 E. Main St.) 2. Illusions (969 Keystone Way) 3. The old TGI Fridays on U.S. 31 (now razed and turning into a Huntington Bank) For more on these local haunted places, visit currentnightandday.com.

Peruvian pumpkin stew
Commentary by Ceci Martinez
Locro de Zapallo, “Peruvian Pumpkin Stew” is a dish that every time I make it takes me back home in a flash! Locro is peasant food from the Peruvian Andes. Its native ingredients are pumpkin, potatoes, corn and yellow pepper. This “delicioso” winter and rustic stew is pure comfort food! Note: Many reasons to have pumpkin in your diet: it is a superfood! The list of vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients is endless. The Andean people are known to live long and healthy lives and it is believed that their pumpkin-rich diet contributes to this. LOCRO DE ZAPALLO Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1/4 cup vegetable oil, cup of frozen or fresh corn kernels, 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1/2 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream, 1/2 cup feta cheese or queso fresco cut in 1 cm cubes and extra for garnish, pitted olives, Peruvian or Kalamata, 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped Directions: In a pot sauté onion in oil, add
Presented by
garlic, aji amarillo, oregano, salt, pepper and squash (cut squash same size as potatoes). Cook at low heat. When squash is soft add potatoes, green peas, corn and chicken broth. Stir well and cook till potatoes are done. Add milk or cream and cheese. Turn off the stove and let it rest for few minutes. Serve with white rice. Garnish with feta cheese or queso fresco cut in a triangle, olives and sprinkle cilantro. Ceci Martinez is a Zionsville resident who was born in New York and raised in Peru.

Correction: The recipe “Penne with 5 cheeses” published in Current on Oct. 6 inadvertently omitted a cheese. The missing ingredient is a 1/4 cup of crumbled gorgonzola cheese.

Tailgating for the season By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley If you enjoy Halloween season with pumpkin carving, corn stalks, orange and black garlands or lights, then you probably should think about a Halloween-themed tailgate party. But what can one do to make the ambiance of the party appropriately colorful? Here are some ideas to dress up your tailgate party: • Pumpkins carved with team logo or letters • Trick-or-treat bags full of candy (this will get rid of your leftover candy) • Orange and Black Jello shots (nonalcoholic for high school tailgates) • Colorful streamers in orange and black (unless they are opponent’s colors) • Candy or caramel apples • Bob for apple game with a bucket of water (don’t forget to bring towels) • Sugar cookies decorated for Halloween Since we are at the end of October, we really need to start thinking about cold weather dishes to serve. Here’s a recipe for a favoritesoup that is very easy. Italian wedding soup Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 cup diced onions, 1 cup chopped carrots (1/4 inches chop), 1 cup chopped celery (1/4 inches chop), 10 cups chicken stock, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 1/4 cup small pasta (shells, tubetini, stars or anything else small), 1/2 tsp dill weed, 10 oz. bag baby spinach washed and trimmed, 24 oz. bag Johnsonville Classic Italian Style Meatballs (pre-cooked) Preparation: Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Dice the onion, carrots and celery and set them aside, mixed, in a bowl. Wash the spinach, cut off the stems, and set aside. Bake the meatballs in your oven according to

the package directions. When the meatballs are done, cool them enough to then cut them into halves. Put the olive oil into a heavy large soup pot on medium low heat, and sauté onion, celery and carrots until soft (5 to 6 minutes.) Stir these veggies occasionally and add the wine and chicken stock as you bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the pasta and cook until it is tender (6 to 7 minutes.) Add the dill weed and meatballs and cook for one minute; then add the spinach, stir and cook for another minute. This is ready to serve with grated parmesan cheese on top. It will make 10 good-size servings. This is great for cold weather. Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” and is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

Residences at Lawerence Village at the Fort now open By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com A new Lawrence housing division of twostory, single-family homes recently held its grand opening at its locareal estate tion near historic Fort Harrison State Park. The site of The Residences at Lawrence Village at the Fort by David Weekley Homes offers spacious housing plans with the convenience of walkability to the nearby amenities of the area. “We thought it was a good site because of the redevelopment down there,” said Indianapolis Division President Michael Luedke. “You’ve got the state park that’s basically a block away. You’ve got a YMCA that’s on-site there as well, and you’ve got a new restaurant and Triton Brewery right there. There’s a lot of walkability that’s going on where you can walk to restaurants and the park. It’s also the only new, single-family site on the old base.” A total of 74 lots are planned for the home division with half the lots currently established and the remainder of lots scheduled to be plotted in phase two of construction.

Construction initiated on Community North cancer center
By Michelle Williams • news@currentinfishers.com Community Health Network broke ground earlier this month on a new, $60 million, 104,000-square-foot development cancer center to provide expanded oncology services. The facility will be connected by walkway to Community Hospital North, allowing immediate access to the full spectrum of medical resources on the north campus. Construction is expected to be complete in early 2017. “This becomes a home away from home. The convenience and amenities help with the patient’s anxiety and with the comfort for their caregivers,” said Chris Wayne, vice president of oncology services. The new facility is designed to accommodate the patient and caregivers for extended stays of up to four to six weeks or more, even in cases where treatment had typically been provided in an outpatient capacity. Wayne explained that patients who previously sought out state-of-the-art care may have sacrificed convenience.
The organization completes a community health needs assessment every three years, and has identified cancer care as an area of tremendous growth in the next 10 years. “Cancer care is no longer for those who are 65 and older,” Wayne said. “Those living with cancer, and the survivors, are a higher number within the populous than ever before.” Input for the cancer center came from a diverse team, including some staff members who are cancer survivors. Their integrative healthcare model provides spaces devoted to cancer support groups and exercise, alternative therapies using art, music, tai chi and massage. Additionally, patients will have access to computers for personal use and dedicated spaces for meditation and relaxation. “It will allow us to enhance our screening capabilities,” Wayne said. An MRI shell and several multidisciplinary clinics are some of the new technologies integrated into the facility that will enhance screening and treatment. “Cancer is no longer the death sentence it once was.” Wayne said.

On Oct. 22, the city of Carmel is participating in Dining Out For Pink. It’s an event held in the Carmel Arts & Design District where participating restaurants philanthropy will donate a percentage of profits earned toward the fight against breast cancer. IU Health’s PR Coordinator Christina Summers said, “Everyone needs to eat, and there are some really fantastic restaurants. The money goes toward neighbors, families, and friends in their fight against breast cancer.” This same event is happening in The Shops at Perry Crossing in Plainfield in partnerships with IU Health North and West. The proceeds will directly benefit the breast cancer patient care and research programs within these hospitals. IU Health is fully accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, and there were no suggestions given for improvement during the accreditation process. IU Health’s Director of Philanthropy Tracy Miller is proud to be a part of such a great program, and she recognizes the benefit of community support. “Having had survivorship events and seen

so many women come out stronger on the other side of their diagnosis, I just want readers to know they are helping women feel encouraged by walking alongside them,” Miller said. Muldoon’s co-owner and breast cancer survivor, Beth Hohlier, praises IU Health’s breast care programs. She described being given massages and listening to a pianist play during her treatment. These services allowed her to feel supported. “I have heard people say there is pink everywhere, and they are almost desensitized to giving,” Holier said, “But this event goes to local support. There isn’t a cure so it doesn’t matter how much has been raised, there still needs to be more.” For more, visit diningoutforpink.com.

Fall time great for home remodeling Commentary by David Decker Fall has officially arrived in Indiana! That means cooler weather, changing leaves and of course, Colts football. indoor living But did you know that fall is also a great time to remodel your home? Remodeling is a great way to improve your home any time of year, but we think this fall is an especially good time to start a project. Here of some of our favorite reasons to do a fall remodel: More time indoors As we move closer to winter and the weather gets colder, we naturally start spending more time indoors. You’re going to spend a lot more time looking at your surroundings. It only makes sense to create a space that you love. Updating before winter insures that your time indoors will be time enjoyed. Holiday ready One of the bright spots in winter is the holidays. They are right around the corner, so you’ll want to start your project now in order to be ready. An updated kitchen can make family meals and celebrations more enjoyable for everyone! And while we always work hard to minimize disruptions and distractions, starting your project now means things can

be over and done before the stress of the holiday season begins. Energy efficiency Extra lighting, entertaining and lots of activity always come with the holidays. Making your home more energy-efficient beforehand is a smart decision for your pocketbook. Remodels that improve efficiency in your home can pay for themselves in the long run. Plus, it’s always a nice bonus to buyers when you are ready to sell. Be ready for spring Speaking of selling your home, the real
estate market always heats up in the spring. Be ready before everyone else and get your remodeling projects done now. That gives you a leg up and possibly makes the entire selling process a little bit easier.

Dangerous meets energetic in outside projects Commentary by Randy Sorrell
The counter and cabinet is constructed of Ipe, an environmentally harvested Brazilian hardwood that behaves like steel. (Submitted photo)
Mashing textures, colors and a variety of materials on luxury outdoor living projects is stimulating. It’s also outdoor living dangerous and energetic. Dangerous because too much variety can detract from the logical flow and cause distress. But when you get it right, the energy is vacation-like! Of course … we get it right. This micro patio is curled up in the middle of the Villages of West Clay and a brief glimpse of the entire space. Check out the use of color and materials in the grill station – materials which are not often married together in the Midwest – which was precisely the objective, to give it a forward metro statement, as if we had suddenly landed in NYC. GRILL STATION The counter and cabinet is constructed of Ipe, an environmentally harvested Brazilian hardwood that behaves like steel. It’s very dense and deceivingly heavy. So dense that nails or screws must be pre-drilled. It ages beautifully, like you and I, and does not require staining or treating. Notice the black steel columns and horizontal support for the
side elevated bar? For clarity, the steel and ipe are echoed elsewhere in the project and beautifully glues the space together. The original patio surface was retained and carved out in select areas to remove awkward curves that detracted from the edgy feel we were searching for. Pennsylvania slate/blue stone, was inserted which dangerously introduced another texture, color and material for provocative results. The homeowner’s brilliant eye for design and color compelled the bright orange steel stools. High quality cushy outdoor furniture with vibrant patterns, a generous size ornamental rug and gobs of comfy pillows complete the space. Actually, a happy home and this thriving family joyfully complete the space. And that’s what happens when energetic design meets dangerous materials … luxury outdoor living at its finest!

Blowing the cover on Siesta Commentary by Zach Dunkin
With its sugary, white quartz sand and stunning sunsets, it’s no wonder the “Gulf Coast’s best-kept secret” is no travel longer hush-hush. Just ask a number the increasing visitors who make an annual return trek to Siesta Key, a gorgeous barrier island located just off the coast of Sarasota. Unlike beaches made up mostly of pulverized coral, SK’s two beaches — Siesta Beach and Crescent Beach — have sand that is 99 percent quartz. It is so reflective that it always feels cool underfoot, even on the hottest of days. According to the Travel Channel and “Dr. Beach,” who annually lists Siesta Beach in the America’s Top 10 and sometimes No. 1, these beaches are considered among the most beautiful in the world. While condo renters have their own “private” beach areas, a wide public beach is also available. The shallow water depth in the near-shore area together with year-round lifeguard protection make this one of the safest beaches in the country and great for children. The beach is relatively “family-safe” with no open bars

Then, they’re off to dinner. Nightlife for adults includes open-air, resorttype bars and restaurants in the “village.” Favorites include the Siesta Key Oyster Bar (affectionately called SKOB) and the Daiquiri Deck (enough said). Although the food is affordable and average, the kids will love the menu and the outdoor seating on picnic tables at the Old Salty Dog.

Commentary by Beverly Randolph We prayed to “make the cut” at the recently opened Central Bark Park in Carmel. Fortunately, we did, and it has transtravel formed our lives. Honeybear, our 8-year-old golden retriever, has found new energy and handsomely gallops around the park. Pet-parents also get exercise, increased Vitamin D intake and get to make new acquaintances, like their doggie pals. It is my hope the following guidelines will ensure that you, too, have a doggone good, safe time. Have Fido decline serving on the greeting committee. Like with humans, proper introductions are important. New dogs entering the park can become anxious, overwhelmed and potentially aggressive. Keep yours away and let newly arrived dogs integrate on their own schedule. Remove leash before entering. The double-gate system allows for leashes to be removed before entering. This provides a safer environment for canines and humans alike, by preventing leash aggression incidents. Your pups won’t dart around the park with their leashes flailing behind. Keep an eye on your dog at all times.
Dogs Honeybear and Lilly in the Carmel dog park. (Submitted photo)
Try not to look down on your phone or book, plop down on a bench or chat with fellow pet lovers too much. Interact with your best friend, and watch your dog’s body language. Signs to remove Fido include ears pulled back, dilation of pupils and tails tucked. Do not let dogs “work it out.” Beverly Randolph, MA, is the founder and director of The Protocol School of Indianapolis and a certified Business Etiquette, Children’s Etiquette and International Protocol Consultant.

Catherine’s room is missing Commentary by Don Knebel
Once known as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the Amber Room is missing. But visitors to St. Petersburg, Russia, travel can see (but not photograph) a recreation of that famous room. Amber, the source of dinosaur DNA in “Jurassic Park,” is fossilized tree resin, created over millions of years. Most of the world’s amber, used to create orange/yellow gemstones, is mined near Kaliningrad, a Russian city on the Baltic known as Königsberg when part of Prussia. In 1701, Frederick I, the first King of Prussia, built a room in his Berlin palace lined with fragile panels of transparent amber, laid over gold leaf. In 1716, Tsar Peter the Great of Russia was so impressed that Frederick’s successor gave him the room to seal an alliance between Russia and Prussia. The Amber Room was eventually installed in Catherine’s Palace near St. Petersburg, incorporating additional amber panels from Prussia. As Hitler’s troops neared St. Petersburg in 1941, workers attempted to conceal the Amber Room by covering the amber walls with paper. The German troops were not fooled and shipped the looted room to Germany, where it
was reassembled in the Königsberg Castle. In 1943, with Allied troops advancing on Königsberg, the museum’s director was instructed to dismantle the Amber Room and ship it away. In August 1944, British forces bombed Königsberg, destroying the museum. The Amber Room vanished, with theories about its mysterious disappearance ranging from its being obliterated in the bombing to being hidden away somewhere in Germany. With the original Amber Room missing, Russian and German craftsmen spent 24 years and millions of dollars meticulously recreating it in Catherine’s Palace, where Vladimir Putin dedicated it in 2003. In August 2015, reports surfaced that the Amber Room might be on a lost Nazi gold train, said to have been discovered in Poland. Stay tuned.
