According to an October report from health care watchdog Farmacy, Inc., a Johns Hopkins study released in the British Medical Jourwellness nal last month is proof enough that everyone should be careful when it comes to vaccinating against influenza. The report states: “Peter Doshi, Ph.D., charges that although the vaccines are being pushed on the public in unprecedented numbers, they are less effective and cause more side effects than alleged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” This comes after U.S. health care providers are encouraging and administering the vaccine more than ever. According to Doshi, in 1994, 32 million doses of the flu vaccines were available. This year, more than 135 million doses are available. “The vaccine may be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed, and the threat of influenza seems to be overstated,” Doshi said in the BMJ. But local doctors aren’t so convinced that this aggressive campaign in favor of vaccinating is a bad thing. “This is obviously a provocative article. We have seen very severe flu epidemics in the past and know that some strains of influenza can be lethal to some people,” stated Gaurav Arora, Ph.D., chief medical officer and medical director of the emergency department at Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital. “The immunization does seem to confer some protection and the risk of the vaccine is small. As a health care provider, we not only need to protect ourselves, but come into contact with patients in whom influenza can be lethal, so we owe it to ourselves and our patients to be immunized.” Last year, local hospitals began requiring that all

health care workers receive the flu vaccine, or were at risk of losing their jobs. The Indianapolis Coalition for Patient Safety launched a campaign and formed a flu vaccine work group. According to a release, the goal is “to unite in an effort to require flu vaccination for health care workers to continue making Indianapolis a safe place to receive health care.” Doctors from St.Vincent, Community Health and IU Health hospitals were all part of this campaign. Arora stated he gets the flu vaccine yearly. He is part of a large network of doctors who encourage their patients and families to get vaccinated. “I am glad to see the conversation generated by this article and hope it will lead to more larger scale scientific studies on the risks and benefits of the influenza vaccine,” he stated.

Reasons doctors are for and against the vaccine FOR • Reduces the risk of yearly strains of flu • Ninety percent of flu-related deaths occur in elderly patients • Even healthy people can get the flu • Can protect infants and those with weak immune systems

DVD review Hollywood likes to boast of big stars in big movies that “no one else could have played the part,” but in the case of “Maleficent” I think that’s demonstrably true. Only Angelina Jolie has the requisite combination of compelling screen presence, supernatural beauty and somewhat eerie star persona to play in this revisionist take on the Sleeping Beauty fable.

Ellspermann: Qualified applicants needed By Beth Taylor news@currentinfishers.com

Indiana Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann recently spoke to the Fishers Rotary at the Forum Credit Union Conference Center. (Photo by Beth Taylor)

Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann spoke during the Fishers Rotary Club’s Community Guest Day on Oct. 24. Ellspermann highlighted key points government of what Gov. Mike Pence’s administration has accomplished after 22 months in office and focused on workforce development and infrastructure. “I’m here today to talk about all the projects and key initiatives that will keep our state moving forward,” Ellspermann said. Ellspermann manages six state agencies, including the Office of Small Business and Entrepreneurship. She praised the success of Launch Fishers, the launch pad for high-potential enterprises located in Fishers. Created by John Wechsler in conjunction with the Town of Fishers, the group has grown to more than 300 members since its founding in 2012. Ellspermann explained how Launch Fishers and the Indiana Small Business Development Center will partner to develop Launch Indiana. The mission of Launch Indiana SBDC is to increase the number of successful Indiana-based, innovationdriven enterprises through mentorship

and education. “We’ve taken the idea of Launch Fishers and initiated Launch Indiana,” said Ellspermann. She also discussed that while on her statewide “Sue’s Listen and Learn” tour, she overwhelmingly heard from business owners about their difficulties in finding qualified applicants. “Our strategic plan shows that 60 percent of the workforce will need postsecondary knowledge and credentials by 2025. But if we keep going as is, we will only get about 40 percent,” said Ellspermann. “We need to ensure that education and training meets existing and future needs of Indiana’s job market,” she added. Plans to reduce the workforce gap include working with K-12 education as well as Ivy Tech and Vincennes University to elevate work-and-learn programs. Ellspermann also discussed the three-tiered Blue Ribbon Panel on Transportation Infrastructure. “We need to take care of what we have, finish what we start and plan for the future,” she said. “Lt. Governor Ellspermann is such an excellent speaker and her message today was relevant with business owners in our community,” said Michele Whelchel, president of the Fishers Rotary Club.

Indie Unmasked: The Indy Author Event is coming Nov. 15 to the Fishers Banquet Center. (submitted photo)

Author event coming to Fishers

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com

“Indie Unmasked: The Indy Author Event” is a clever name for an upcoming gathering of independently published romance novelists. Taking place Nov. 15 at the Fishers Banquet Center, this authors book signing and author meetand-greet is open to the public and showcases the popularity of romantic novels. Kate Roth is an Indianapolis romance author and one of the Indie Unmasked organizers. She confirmed that 48 independently published romance authors will be on hand at the event to sign books from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets are on sale at http://indieunmasked.weebly.com. “We have nine New York Times and USA Today best-selling authors coming to Indie Unmasked and 21 authors are Indiana natives,” said Roth. Following the book signings, there will be a Masquerade Ball from 8 p.m. to midnight. Roth and fellow Indiana romance novelists Bayli Lane and Britni Hill wanted to bring a romance author event to central Indiana and chose Fishers for its proximity to Indianapolis and because they liked the Fishers venue. Author events are big in the world of independent

romance novels and highlight the enduring popularity of the genre. “I think that the fact that in the last few years more self-published romance authors have made New York Times and USA Today best-seller lists show that the genre is popular,” Roth said. “Selfpublishing lends itself to voracious readers who maybe want to read a new book each week because we can control our pricing and offer books at a lower price.” Roth explained that being an independently published author is the same as self-publishing and the authors are responsible for securing their own editors, cover artists and distribution. Roth is getting ready to publish her seventh book and prefers the indie route. “I was traditionally published in the beginning and decided to make the leap to independent,” she said. “The author’s royalty is so much higher than with a traditional publisher.” Indie Unmasked authors will have paperback books for sale at the event, located at 9775 North by Northeast Blvd., Fishers. Tickets are not available at the door, but book signing tickets and additional information is available through Nov. 15 at http://indieunmasked.weebly.com.

Inaugural Festival of Trees to benefit Good Samaritan Network Nov. 22 - The Nov. 22 formal-attire event will be at The Bridgewater Club, 3535 E. 161st St., Westfield. The inaugural fundraiser features exquisitely custom-designed, themed Christmas trees, wreaths and table centerpieces which are hand-decorated by local designers for the event. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, dinner at 6 p.m., welcome at 6:45 p.m., and auction at 7 p.m. Highlighted guest will be Bill Kenley. Cost is $75.

Haven is a yet another new business branching out of Launch Fishers into a place of its own on 116th Street. Haven is in the beta testing phase in creating an entrepreneurs app that will improve homeowners’ ability to care for their homes. “We are trying to help people proactively know what’s going on with their home, how they can fix it or who they can go to help them fix it,” said Jim Brown, president and co-founder of Haven. Haven is a free mobile and website app that helps owners predict or prevent any issues that may arise with their homes. It provides do-it yourself instructions or gives homeowners the information of businesses that have preapproved pricing for whatever project a homeowner may need help with. Haven recently received $1.025 million from investors and is now able to expand. It currently has eight employees and plans on expanding its staff as the company continues to grow. The

current goal at Haven is to have 10 employees by the end of the year and 30 by the end of 2015. “I am a big fan of what they are doing with Launch Fishers. It’s growing an entrepreneurial base right here,” said Brown. “I am committed to keeping this business in Fishers and growing it. I want to help this economy grow here.” A long-term goal for Haven is to make and create partnerships with realtors and contractors so all of the information related to a house will be digital. “So you can see what all has been done to the home, who has done it and what needs to be done next,” said Brown. There are apps similar to Haven’s, but they offer only partial problem-solving such as outsourcing for cleaning or landscaping. Brown said Haven will help a homeowner in all aspects. “The thing we are doing differently is using data to proactively predict what your home is going to need before you know you need it,” said Brown.

Memories of the Kincaid House

By Beth Clark • news@currentinfishers.com

The historic Kincaid House, once a fixture of Fishers on 106th Street, is safe in its new location on USA Parkway. The dust has settled, the excitement has dissipated and History the history of the house has been told – well, almost. From the not-too-distant past rises an entertaining story about the house and its tenant during the Blizzard of ’78. This year’s polar vortex may not yet be upon us, but we can easily imagine the preparations local resident Mike Latty undertook when he learned of the impending arrival of the Blizzard of 1978. Latty, today an engineer with the Noblesville Fire Dept. with 28 years of service behind him, was at the time a young man working for a water softening company, renting the old farmhouse on 106th Street, now called the Kincaid House, from owner Donald Kincaid for $125 a month. The house had drafty windows, exposed brick walls and wooden floors, but it had electricity, a television and a radio. Latty was following instructions on the radio the night before the blizzard, caulking windows, stocking cupboards and ensuring enough fuel oil for the furnace and wood for the stove in the house. He awoke the morning of the blizzard to howling winds, blinding snow and drifts blocking the interstate. The landscape was desolate, with only farmland and empty roads around him. Or so he thought. Shortly after dawn, in the midst of the blizzard, Latty heard the doorbell ring. He let it ring again, and again, to be sure he heard correctly. Not one for ghost stories, he hesitated only a minute before answering the door, to find two older gentlemen, in dark suits, collars turned up, no overcoats, standing on the stoop, hoping for shelter from the storm. They had made a wrong turn down 106th off of Allisonville Road, and their car was stuck in a

Kincaid House in its former location at 106th Street and Kincaid Drive. (photo by Andy Cassler)

drift just past the railroad tracks. Latty invited them in. They had a story about needing to pick up a family nearby and after this initial introduction, they never said much else, despite Latty’s efforts at conversation. The strangers stayed the night. Latty, who had only purchased enough food for himself for a few days, was able to call for provisions mid-blizzard. A caravan of snowmobiles from the Fishers Volunteer Fire Dept. arrived with extra supplies. Fortunately the power never went off, but the television did fail and Latty recounted the most uncomfortable 24 hours he ever spent with two reticent strangers who said barely a word. To escape the silent shroud of mystery in the house, he made sure to check on the Kincaid horse in the barn on the property as often as possible. The sun shone the next morning. Plows came through along 106th, and Latty’s brother arrived to help dig out the men’s car from the drifts and send them on their way. Latty never did learn their names.

Fishers Redevelopment Commission wants RFP for Maple St. news@currentinfishers.com The Town of Fishers Redevelopment Commission announced a call for applicants to submit a plan for acquisition and development of a parcel on Maple Street in the redevelopment Nickel Plate District. The parcel is currently owned by the FRC and part of the plan to continue redevelopment of downtown Fishers. “The RFP parcel, while small, represents a big step in the next phase of redevelopment in the Nickel Plate District,” said Tom Dickey, Fishers director of community development. “An important part of our strategy has been to set the stage for smaller-scale redevelopment opportunities like this. We look forward to seeing the Maple

Street area transform over time with better access to existing businesses and new development occurring there.” The FRC currently owns the quarter-acre parcel at 11634 Maple St. with an existing structure that must be demolished. The FRC will consider any mix of uses that furthers the goals and policies of the redevelopment and economic development initiatives, including mixed-use development containing commercial and residential uses. Proposal responses should be submitted no later than noon Nov. 14. Town officials are requesting a construction schedule along with the proposal that includes a completion date by the end of 2015. For more information or for a copy of the RFP, visit www. fishers.in.us.

The night before Thanksgiving 2013, Mia Carter went to bed a typical, healthy teenage girl, but woke up at 4 a.m. with a backcharity ache that quickly led to paralysis. The Fishers Junior High student was taken to the hospital and given an MRI that showed a blood clot pushing on her spinal cord. After surgery and three weeks at St.Vincent Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, she was transferred to a hospital in Cincinnati where she stayed until February. Her mother, Isabel Carter, said she was diagnosed with arterial ventricular malformation, which is something she was born with. She said she is medically healthy and goes to therapy, but people with AVM do not usually walk again. “But we have hope. We pray. And she has a lot of people praying for her. She’s healthy. She’s young,” said Isabel. The 13-year-old returned to school, where her mother says people have been wonderful to her. “I can’t say enough about the community and her school and her friends,” Isabel said. “It’s truly amazing and I wouldn’t have met so many great people if it hadn’t been for this terrible situation.

So many good people have come into our lives, and to see that so many people care.” Expenses have been great and getting around with Mia difficult for Isabel. That’s where Pub Theology came in. Founder Daron Earlewine said his organization puts on charity fundraising events around the city in pubs and matches a local company with a local cause. He called it “partying with a purpose.” Earlewine matched Mia with Mo’s Irish Pub in Hamilton Town Center. “We put this together and hosted a party in April with Mo’s and Mia and then were able to raise $25,000 that night,” Earlewine said. “Then we got connected with Samantha’s House and Van,” which needed a recipient for its van this year and partnered with Mia’s family. The end result was a new accessible van worth more than $50,000 that was presented to Mia and her family Oct. 15 at Mo’s. A single mom, Isabel said it will make their lives so much easier. “It’s awesome, overwhelming. I carried her in and out of car for the last 11 months and this will be so much easier, and we can take trips.” She said the family is planning to start a scholarship at Fishers Junior High in Mia’s name to help other families like theirs.

It has been two months since Indiana’s Lifeline Law public awareness campaign was launched to inform students and parents about the Lifeline Law through government the internet and radio. Since then, college students have seen or heard more than two million advertisements online. With help from the Indiana Youth Services Association’s campaign, “Make Good Decisions,” we have been able to reach out to students at 11 Indiana colleges including Indiana University, Purdue University, Ball State University, Indiana State University, the University of Notre Dame and Butler University through their cell phones and social media accounts. By targeting IP addresses and cell phone signals, students have received advertisements while on Facebook, YouTube and Pandora. Indiana’s Lifeline Law provides legal protections to minors under the influence of alcohol who call to report a medical emergency or a crime, as well as any of the party-goers who stay with the person in need of medical attention until help arrives. When someone is facing an emergency, we don’t want fear of prosecution to stop those around them from doing the right thing. For college students who are engaging in risky practices like popular drinking games or partying prior to sporting events, this is critically important. Today, about 40 percent of college students admit to binge drinking. According to a study done by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a college-age student dies from binge

drinking every 44 hours. As part of the campaign, one of the messages you might hear on the radio features Dawn Finbloom. Sadly, her son Brett died of alcohol poisoning at a party where everyone in attendance was underage. His friends were too scared to call for help. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller, Dawn and Norm Finbloom and I have spoken to more than 20,000 people around the state about the Lifeline Law. More than 100,000 Lifeline messages have been distributed and used in Indiana’s package liquor stores. The campaign efforts have also drawn attention from the North-American Interfraternity Conference. I am thankful for the newfound partnership with Lambda Chi Alpha to insure that all 12 of its Indiana chapters, consisting of nearly 800 men, are educated on the Lifeline Law and have the information they need to be safe. The advertisements through social media have been a unique, effective way to spread a very important message to young Hoosiers and they will continue throughout the school year. By working together, we can help publicize the Lifeline message – “Make the call; Save a life” – to students and parents across the state. Sen. Jim Merritt represents Fishers in the Indiana State Senate where he has served for 24 years. You may contact him by phone at 232-9400 or by email at Senator.Merritt@iga.in.gov.

Lack of harness, alcohol cause of hunter’s injury – Kipp Coverdale, 50, was bow hunting deer Oct. 26 when he fell from his 15-foot ladder stand in woods north of Noblesville. As a result of the fall, Coverdale broke his left ankle and had to phone for help because he could not walk. Cicero Fire Dept. EMTs located Coverdale and transported him to Riverview Health in Noblesville. Coverdale was treated and released. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department investigated the incident and determined that Coverdale was not wearing a safety harness and admitted to consuming alcohol prior to the accident. No charges were filed.

Boy Scouts inspire goodwill By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com The Good Turn for Goodwill service program is under way for a third year. The program was inspired by Boy Scout Troop fundraising 199 of Fishers which, in 2011, ran its own Goodwill donation drive. The program was so successful that the Boy Scouts Crossroads of America Council and Girl Scouts of Central Indiana are all participating this year. Scoutmaster Bryan Spellman said Troop 199 was formed 20 years ago and currently has 134 scouts and more than 70 adult scouters. They meet at St. Louis de Montfort Catholic Church, 11421 Hague Rd., Fishers, and are sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. He said Goodwill approached the troop four years ago with an idea to involve the Boy Scouts with Goodwill. “They presented it to our youth leaders and they voted to do it,” Spellman said. “For the first year, Troop 199 did the project on their own and collected several hundred bags of donations in a two-week period with one scout collecting 68 13-gallon bags of donations. The next year, Goodwill wanted to expand and we brought in DelMi District, which includes 4,000 Scouts in the Hamilton/Tipton county area. We collected 110,000 pounds of donations that year. For the last two years, we expanded and now include the entire Crossroads of America Council and the Girl Scouts of America.”

There are now scout troops from more than 20 counties involved in the effort. They will deliver the donations to any of Goodwill’s more than 50 stores and donation centers. Last year, more than 1,000 youth participated, collecting an estimated 154,000 pounds of donations. Spellman said it’s a great learning project for scouts. “Scouts learn to help others in need,” he said. “Donations to Goodwill help fund programs for those not as fortunate in the community. Scouts learn the value of items they might have thought were old or junk. They also gain an appreciation for community service and how just one person can make a difference.” Central Indiana residents with clothes, toys, housewares or other items to donate can do so through Nov. 16. Scouts who donate at least one bag or box of donations will receive a special patch. More information is available at goodwillindy.org/goodturn.

Upgrade without upkeep.

The Humane Society for Hamilton County opened a new resale shop in Noblesville that will help the shelter raise now open much-needed funds for the animals in its care. The resale shop, Tattle Tails, is located at 2350 E. Conner St., Suite A, in Noblesville, next to Carolyn’s Consignments. Tattle Tails is one of three new stores that will be opening in “The Secret” indoor mall. Tattle Tails is not a consignment store, but rather a resale shop stocked with donated items designed to offer a boutique-style shopping experience. The shop features new or gently used women’s clothing, accessories, home décor, furniture, unique gifts and pet items. Items donated to Tattle Tails are considered tax-deductible donations. The shop will be operated by volunteers with all net proceeds from Tattle Tails going to the Humane Society. Store hours are noon to 5 p.m. Sunday and Monday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday. Donations are welcome during all hours the shop is open.

Raise a great leader

Commentary by Mike Colaw

I spent the last few months tracking down parental advice, but not just any advice. I wanted to create a list compiled by some faith of the most influential leaders, past and present. What did their parents do that highly influenced them? What was their home like? How did they grow up? I know natural abilities play a huge role in how people turn out, but there is no doubt the environment kids grow up in also makes an enormous difference. So here is what I learned: I identified seven things in my research; I’ll give three here. Check out www.parents.luke117. com for the whole list. 1) Think entertainment creation over entertainment consumption: Limiting screen time in the house is good. Even Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple, did this with his kids, but further research revealed that the way many leaders, like Jobs, taught their kids to interact with technology was to push them to create media over consuming it. Don’t just download apps that listen to music and watch movies, download apps that make music, movies, or even apps that paint pictures. Encourage your kids to be creative. The next time you hand your phone or tablet to your kids, instead of Netflix open up

Garage Band. 2) Eat dinner around the table with your family and talk about current events: This is a common trait among many great leaders. From a young age, they learned to discuss politics, current events and even morality with adults. They also learned to look adults in the eye and developed good verbal skills. Here is a new rule, one even Steve Jobs had: No technology in the kitchen! 3) Learn a musical instrument: The articles supporting the power of creative thinking are too numerous to list. Here is the bottom line: Much of current education really pushes the side of the brain dealing with logic and tasks. This is great, but the more we cut out the creative arts, we literally are mentally underdeveloping our children. Light up the creative part of the brain! It’s time to start learning an instrument. All it takes are a few tweaks to your parenting philosophy and you could greatly improve the environment where your kids grow up. Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

Learning to love sales pays off Commentary by CJ McClanahan

In a recent poll, 1,000 incoming college freshmen were asked what career they would like to pursue when they move the needle graduated. Less than 1 percent selected “sales” as their profession of choice. OK, I just made that up. However, my gut says that this fictional poll is probably close to reality. One of my first job offers out of college was in sales and I distinctly remember thinking, “Sales is for people who can’t find a real job.” When you ask someone to tell you the first word that pops into their head when you mention the word “salesperson,” you often hear “liar,” “pushy,” “used car,” “dishonest,” etc. Twenty-plus years later, I realize that I now love selling and find it to be a great profession that I would highly recommend to everyone. But what’s more interesting is that I’ve now realized that just about everyone I know is in sales – including you. At the core, sales is nothing more than convincing someone to believe in an idea or concept that you are supporting, a/k/a, selling. If you are in management, you work hard every

day to convince your staff that it’s in their best interest to be more productive. Teachers fill their days with strategies to convince kids that paying attention in class and doing homework on time has benefits in both the short and long term. Believe it or not, doctors are even salespeople. Anyone can diagnose a problem and prescribe a medication, but a great doctor is able to inspire a patient to improve their diet and exercise. I belive the most difficult sales job takes place in the home with my two kids. I can preach for hours about the importance of hard work, honesty, trying new things, etc. However, the truth is that the majority of their life is and will be spent outside of my influence. Possibly the most important sales job I will ever have is convincing them to behave in a certain way when I’m not around. Instead of running from the thought of sales, embrace the challenge to help others make great decisions that will benefit them both personally and professionally.

Town Manager Scott Fadness becomes the first mayor of Fishers on Jan. 1. (photos by John Cinnamon)

First mayor of Fishers is ready to begin work By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com

With no Democratic mayoral candidate on the ballot, the first mayor of Fishers was determined in the May primary. Town Manager Scott Fadness, who has worked for cover story the Town of Fishers for more than seven years, emerged the primary winner and is unopposed in the Nov. 4 general election. Current in Fishers sat down with Fadness to discuss politics in Fishers, changes to the community as it becomes a city and his answers to critics about Fishers’ growth. (The full text of the interview is online at currentinfishers.com.) The fact that we can talk to the new mayor before the general election says a lot about the two-party system in Fishers. Do you have a comment on that? Obviously we’re pretty well dominated by the Republican Party in Hamilton County, and I think the primary certainly was a vigorous campaign and a lot of ideas were thrown out there. For whatever reason, the Democrats decided not to have someone go up against me this fall and that’s fine. I think we still had a really good debate in the primary about different ideas for Fishers, so I do think residents were given an opportunity to choose among different philosophies and different ideas. There are only four Democrats running for city council and, even if they won, they would be in the minority. Does that mean you can pretty much do whatever you want? No, I don’t think so. Whether we’re talking about Republican or Democrat, I think everyone running today had their own ideas about what’s best for Fishers. Honestly, some of the partisan stuff at the local level should deteriorate into the background and we should just be talking about whether or not this is the right idea to move Fishers forward or not. So, whether it’s Democrat or Republican, I anticipate having a lot of healthy discussion and dialogue with the council about what’s best for the future of Fishers, whether it’s a Republican sitting in that

seat or a Democrat. What will the average Fishers resident notice that will be different as we change to a city? That’s a great question because I get that a lot. My hope is that in the delivery of services, absolutely nothing. We do a great job of delivering core services today and my goal and my target is to make sure they don’t see any hiccup in services. What I think the most prominent difference will be is there will be a singular face and voice to Fishers and where we’re headed that represents the community and I think that’s something that we probably haven’t had in the past. The form of government itself, how will it change in terms of how much input will the council and the mayor have? You can break things down into buckets of authority or scope of authority. In reality, the city council has, in my estimation, two major roles: financial. they pass the budget. The second is land use. Every time someone wants to do a rezone or they want to redevelop or develop a piece of land, that has to go before the council. Everything else falls primarily to the mayor to run. So the day-to-day operations of the city, you can expect that would come from the mayor’s office. And setting the agenda and policy for the community and the vocabulary that the community will rally around, that will come from the mayor. So that to me is the primary difference. How will that change for you? For me, I take a more public role than I probably have in the past; a more prominent role. And on the operational side, there is far less interaction with the council when I decide to do something. You have to run again next year. How will that affect how you govern? How much do you think you will get done if you have to keep your eye on running again? When I decided to run for office, I made a commitment and I remember talking to my wife about this, I’m 100 percent OK with losing. It’s not part of my identity to be mayor. So, if I think whatever policy decision is the right decision for the community, then I’ll pursue it regardless of the political timing of an election. We’re going to work hard on economic development and we’ve got some other initiatives that we’re going to be moving forward with. It’s going to be a really active year next year, regardless of whether I have an opponent or not, because

I don’t think a community can take a timeout for a year so that I can ensure my election. What are the top three projects that you will be working on in the next year or so? Economic development; creating new job opportunities in Fishers, which is kind of cliché because everyone says economic development. But if you look at our 106th Street corridor, the new interchange coming in, Crosspoint where Sun King is going in, that area is really an economic engine for us. So, identifying companies and attracting them to that is going to be important. Developing a comprehensive plan. Fishers has not operated off a comprehensive plan in at least the last 10 years that I know of. And then there are things that I am worried about for our community. It’s things like mental health issues in our population. Your critics hate tax increment financing and all the building going on downtown. They say you have proposed a deficit budget. How do you respond? My response to those that are hypercritical is that I haven’t heard a proposal of what else they would do. We spent a year talking about doing this. I think, in the end, the risk of doing nothing was far greater than the risk of what is happening here. And we have put plenty of hooks in the developers to make sure that we have mitigated our risk. As for the budget, I would challenge anyone to go find another community in the state of Indiana that is financially as sound as we are today. No tax increases to residents. We’re adding police officers. We’re investing in our community and we have a $5 million surplus in cash above what we need for our reserves. We have tried to be as transparent as humanly possible. The internal fiscal plan which I make all decisions off of is posted on the website. I have no more complex numbers than that. That’s what I sit down with all department heads and go over. I welcome them to take a look at that and discern where we are in financial trouble.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Hillary runs off at the mouth again At a Democratic rally last month in Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton’s attempt to assault “trickle-down economics” resulted in a stunningly anomalous statement. The Washington Free Beacon reports that Clinton defended raising the minimum wage, saying, “Don’t let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs, they always say that.” She went on to say, according to the Beacon, that businesses and corporations are not the job creators of America. “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” the former secretary of state said. OK, that’s so much horse bleep that it isn’t even logical. We hope it strikes you the same way. How, then, are jobs created, Mrs. Clinton (except for government, of course, where there are as many positions with lifetime benefits as there are paper clips in the backs of long-forgotten desk drawers)? And what about all the speeches you were hired to give to Goldman Sachs and others for large sums of money? Wouldn’t those be jobs, albeit short-term? Cashing checks for $12 million in the 16 months since leaving the State Department, and trickling down into your wallet? Yes! The liberals always look for ways to twist your mind and expect you to step right in line – except for when it comes to rules, and then they only apply to those of us on the other side of the fence. Keep in mind the woman uttering such nonsense likely will be the Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. presidency in 2016. She is the once-referred-to “Smartest Woman in the World.” The mainstream media loved that one. All she has shown us in the way of intelligence is she married well. She’s just another in a long line of bloated-government proponents looking to reach into the pockets of business owners and entrepreneurs. What’s worse, she believes what she says. Here’s hoping the weak-minded liberal media makes her eat her words. Whom are we kidding? That’ll never happen.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Hope for not-for-profits? Commentary by Terry Anker This month, the charitable industry’s stand, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, published an extensive review of giving in America. For the past two years, it has been collecting data from a variety of sources and working to ensure the highest level of granularity given the Herculean nature of the big-data task. Much of the news was not particularly surprising. It echoed Alexis de Tocqueville’s work at the country’s founding – Americans are very generous. Yet like all anticipated news, when one looks closely there is always something new to learn. Marion County gives, elevating itself to a higher category per capita than those nearby. It is something that is worthy of further investigation – and it will get it. In a particularly interesting infographic, the Chronicle highlighted a handful of measures that it considered of note. The Southeast gives a great deal more than the Northeast. Utah is the undisputed winner in caring – really, without compare. And, the most personally generous states all voted for Mitt Romney in the last

election (top 17). Religion is a factor. Folks in these states tended to be closer to the traditional American, some might say conservative, values of church and caring for others. Some have also argued that people who prefer to tax rather than give don’t find a moral imperative in personal generosity. Whatever the reason, it leads to an interesting conundrum. If America is moving toward a more politically liberal agenda, can our established institutional not-for-profits hope to survive the transition to a fully governmentbased support system? Will all who care for the sick, poor, hungry, arts and other interests ultimately be in the employ of Uncle Sam? And if the IRS becomes our philanthropic advisor, are we somehow better served? Does El Jefe bigger government make us more moral and the poor less downtrodden? 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 Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start of winning game.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I used to avoid the news like the plague (or Ebola to be timely). “How can you live in this day and age and not be up on current events?” my husband Doo would ask. “You were a history major, for God’s sake!” True dat, Doo. But frankly, it bummed me out. I had four babies to keep alive and I just didn’t have the time or energy to think about elections or economies or energy efficiency. But my decision to live in blissful ignorance was put on hold when I went back to teaching. For the sake of our future leaders, I had to get my schtick together. At first it felt good. I liked being able to join in on Obamacare conversations and offer intelligent insight on the latest Chinese crisis. I’d even preference my astute observations with “I just heard on NPR” or “Did you see that article in the New York Times?” to subtly brag about my newfound worldly awareness. Listen to me! I’m smart! But after four years of blowing off Bob & Tom and Cosmo, I’m ready to revert to my unplugged self. It’s all too much. Between the Middle East, Africa, Russia and domestic issues, my anxiety at three in the morning is in overdrive. Add to that pre-dawn stress an ounce of overactive imagination and two of the sense that I should be doing something to help, and you’ve got a strung-out mom incapable of restful sleep. So I’m calling it quits. The world at large can continue to muddle onward, but I’m checking out. Before you fire off a hate mail, rest assured I’ll continue to scan the headlines daily to stay subconsciously aware of local, national and international goings-on. But for the sake of my sanity, I need a break. With kids, struggling students, a demanding job and five disgusting toilet bowls constantly flipping me the bird, I have enough things to worry about. (How are we going to afford car insurance for my 16-year-old and when exactly am I going to get around to cleaning the aforementioned porcelain thrones?) If I do find the time for a book or TV, then I choose to be entertained, not informed. That’s why I’m currently reading Chelsea Handler’s “Uganda Be Kidding Me” and watching the oddly-addicting nautical reality series “Below Deck.” Doo’s Economist can march itself right back over to his bedside table. I now prefer to escape from this world, not dive deeper into it. I understand that many of you, like Doo, feel incomplete when you don’t get your nightly dose of Brian Williams. You go! But for me, no news is, once again, good news. Peace out.

Nothing warms better on a cold and chilly winter day than a bowl of soup. This vegetarian rustic lentil soup is not only comforting, satisfying, inexpensive, but healthy too. The vegetables and beans make it an excellent source of fiber, vitamins and a good source of protein and minerals. Start your meal with soup and you could wind up consuming 20 percent fewer calories at your meal but feel just as content. You can make this hearty soup a meal by accompanying with slices of warm whole-grain bread. This soup holds up well in the freezer. Notes: • Brown lentils retain their shape better during cooking than pricier red and yellow lentils. • I like to keep slices of baguette in a Ziploc bag in the freezer so when I need them I can have warm bread handy. RUSTIC LENTIL SOUP Serve: 6 Ingredients: 4 leeks, white and light green parts only, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 28-ounce can whole organic roasted tomatoes, drained, 6 cups water, 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into a 1/2 inch dice, 1/2 cup brown lentils, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 12 fresh basil leaves (optional), 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Parmesan (optional), 1 lemon, sliced (optional)

Directions: Slice each leek in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 1/4-inch-thick halfmoons (about 2 cups). Place in a large bowl of cold water and swish to remove any dirt. Drain and pat dry. Remove the stems from the kale. Stack the leaves on top of one another and slice them crosswise into 1/2- inch wide strips, you will need 3 cups. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, breaking them up with a spoon, for 5 minutes. Add the water and bring to a boil. Stir in the kale, sweet potatoes, lentils, thyme, salt, pepper, and basil (if using). Simmer until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Spoon into individual bowls. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, and serve with a slice of lemon that you will squeeze into it just before eating, if desired.

Sakana of Tokyo Bar and Sushi By Maria Leichty • news@currentinwestfield.com Earlier in October, the Sushi on the Rocks near the intersection of 82nd Street and Allisonville Road changed ownership and bedining came Sakana of Tokyo. Owner Batbold “Bart” Tsevegmid has been in the sushi business for 17 years. Originally from Mongolia, Tsevegmid worked for a sushi restaurant in Jeffersonville, Ind., for 11 years before opening one in Chicago. He said he wanted to return to Indiana so he opened Sakana of Tokyo. “It is a nice atmosphere and good location,” Tsevegmid said. “All we need is good food and service.” Some changes to the menu include the fresh fish that comes in a couple of times a week, the larger portions and the homemade sauces. Tsevegmid said he also likes mixing up the ingredients. He has customers create their own because he likes to work without menus. “I want to give them a choice of what they want,” Tsevegmid said. The different lunch specials and bento boxes provide lots of variety. Lunch specials are between $7 and $9 and come with a soup starter, choice of California roll, shrimp tempura or dynamite rolls, salad, an egg roll, steamed rice and two gyoza (similar to dumplings). Some rolls Tsevegmid suggests are the “very

unique and very healthy” mango and salmon Hawaiian roll and the Red Bull roll which comes with steak for non-seafood lovers. Server Kelsey Deckard has worked at this location since April 2013. Some differences she has seen between restaurants have been the fresher fish and the “unbeatable” lunch prices. The restaurant seats more than 100 people. There is an upstairs with a sushi bar as well. Meetings or private parties for 50 to 70 people can be held there. Tsevegmid said one of the reasons he liked this venue was because it had more room than his last restaurant. Hours are Monday to Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 10 p.m., Friday it is open until 10:30 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m.

Enjoy holiday foods with no regrets Commentary by LeeAnne Nazer, MD

One of Indiana’s favorite holiday traditions! Journey by train to the North Pole. Visit Santa. Enjoy a story and a treat on the way. Hurry! Seats sell quickly.

Thanksgiving is synonymous with family, football and home-cooked meals. It also signals the beginning of the holiday nutrition season – a time when people tend to overeat and struggle to maintain healthy eating habits. With a little planning, however, you can enjoy some of your favorite holiday foods while managing your weight. • Eat a small meal or snack before the festivities. You’ll be less likely to overindulge at holiday dinners and parties if you aren’t really hungry when you arrive. Meals and snacks with protein will help stave off hunger. • Monitor portion sizes. The best way to avoid overeating is to limit the size of your portions. Fill your plate with just one small spoonful of the items you want. Use a side or appetizer plate, if available, instead of a dinner plate. • Make the best food choices. Eat the smallest portions of foods that are high in fat and calories and fill the majority of your plate with more nutritious, low-fat foods, such as turkey breast and vegetables. • Consider substitutes. As you’re preparing meals and food for seasonal gatherings, use alternative ingredients as much as pos-

sible. Reduced-fat sour cream and cream cheese, fat-free half and half, and low-fat cheeses are great choices to cut calories and fat from traditional holiday recipes. Alcohol contains a lot of calories, so try substituting sparkling water for cocktails and wine. • Scrutinize and set limits. Holiday buffets and dining tables are filled with good things to eat – many of which are specially prepared, once-a-year treats. Take a close look at the offerings and limit yourself to just your favorite foods. This way, you can enjoy seasonal favorites without ruining your diet or healthy eating plan. • Exercise regularly. Most people gain two to five pounds between Thanksgiving and Jan. 1. Colder weather and busy holiday schedules can make regular exercise more challenging. Look for creative ways to get some exercise during the holidays – bundle up and take a short walk after dinner or spend a few extra minutes walking laps in the mall after holiday shopping.

Chicago-based Athletico Physical Therapy has opened its second location in the Indianapolis area at 11780 Olio Rd., Fishers. now open The other area location is in Carmel. Athletico opened its doors in Chicago for the first time in 1991 and has grown to more than 100 locations. Ara Knepp, the Fishers facility manager and a physical therapist, said the company is reaching further into the Midwest and has been in the Indianapolis area for 1½ years. She said the company specializes in outpatient physical therapy. “We have over 40 specialized services that include physical therapy, pediatric rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation, concussion, injury management, sports medicine, work rehabilitation,” Kneep said. “We do functional capacity evaluations, we do free injury screens, so a whole slew of outpatient orthopedic rehabilitation services.” Knepp said, they work with everyone from pediatrics to geriatrics. Knepp said doctor’s referrals are no longer necessary for physical therapy. “People can come in off the street. Indiana passed direct access for physical therapists last July, so you do not need a physician’s script to come to physical therapy

anymore. So anyone can come in off the street and insurance does cover it, but we do also get a lot of physician referrals and we refer a lot to physicians,” she added. Knepp said what sets Athletico Physical Therapy apart from competitors is that it caters to patients’ needs and offers long hours. It is open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to noon Saturdays, but can offer services before or after those hours on an individual basis.

Seville’s Mudéjar Palace Commentary by Don Knebel

Live Happy.

The Real Alcázar (royal palace) in Seville, Spain, is the oldest European palace still being used. Important parts of what is Travel now a UNESCO World Heritage site were built by a 14th-century Christian king who admired Islamic architecture and became known for his brutal rejection of anti-Semitism. When Christian forces of the Reconquista recaptured Seville in 1248, they took as their palace an Islamic fortress along the Guadalquivir River. In 1364, Peter I, King of Castile and León, began building a new palace on the site. Peter called upon the Muslim architects and builders who had recently created the palace at the Alhambra in Granada, then still under Islamic control. The design style used in Peter’s palace, incorporating richly carved walls, pointed arches and other traditional Islamic details, came to be known as Mudéjar and was popular throughout southern Spain. Writings on palace walls praised both God and Allah. The best-known quarter of Peter’s palace is the Courtyard of the Maidens. Its name reportedly suggested a false rumor, fueling the Reconquista, that Muslim rulers of Iberia demanded 100 virgins each year from the Christian cities under

their control. A narrow reflecting pool in the center of the courtyard was flanked by sunken gardens, evoking Islamic images of the gardens of paradise. The same theme was later used in the reflecting pool of the Taj Mahal. Scalloped arches supported on columns surrounded the open courtyard, another defining characteristic of Mudéjar style. Peter I’s rivals called him “Peter the Cruel” for executing leaders of an anti-Jewish riot. He was beheaded in 1369 by his half-brother Henry, who derided him as “King of the Jews” for opposing persecution of Spanish Jews. King Peter’s successors added buildings and gardens to the Real Alcázar. The second floor of Peter’s palace is used by the Spanish royal family when in Seville. The Courtyard of the Maidens, its reflecting pool covered, masquerades as the twelfth century palace of the King of Jerusalem in the movie “The Kingdom of Heaven.” And history now regards Peter I as “Peter the Just” for repudiating, albeit cruelly, religious bigotry.

Can or may? Commentary by Jordan Fischer

capability. But the ‘permission’ use of ‘can’ is not in fact incorrect in standard English.” Merriam-Webster agrees, saying, “’Can’ and ‘may’ are most frequently interchangeable in senses denoting possibility … they have also become interchangeable in the sense denoting permission.’” Booyah. All that being said, “may” is still the better choice for formal situations and when talking to your by-the-books grandmother. Life pro-tip here: Never argue with your grandma. That’s a loselose scenario – specifically, you’ll be losing out on those fresh-baked cookies she just made.

Question: Dear Grammar Guy, my friend has an obnoxious habit of “correcting” me (and everyone else) anytime I use grammar guy “can” when he thinks I should use “may.” I’d love a column about this to put him in his place once and for all. Answer: Oh, boy – we’re going to rustle some jimmies on this one. We’ve all been there: You ask if you “can” have something, maybe a cookie, and, predictably, you get this response, “You MAY have one.” The “may” is always stressed. We get it. But, are the sticklers correct? Let’s see what Oxford Dictionaries has to say on the matter: “There is a widespread view that using ‘can’ to ask for permission is wrong and that it should only be used in expressions to do with ability or

Author visit – “Indie Unmasked: The Indy Author Event” is a clever name for an upcoming gathering of independently published romance novelists. Taking place Nov. 15 at the Fishers Banquet Center, 9775 North by Northeast Blvd., this book signing and author meet-and-greet is open to the public and showcases the popularity of romantic novels. Kate Roth is an Indianapolis romance author and one of the Indie Unmasked organizers. She confirmed that 48 independently published romance authors will be on hand at the event to sign books from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets are on sale at http://indieunmasked.weebly.com. “We have nine New York Times and USA Today best-selling authors coming to Indie Unmasked and 21 authors are Indiana natives,” said Roth. Following the book signings, there will be a Masquerade Ball from 8 p.m. to midnight. Roth and fellow Indiana romance novelists Bayli Lane and Britni Hill wanted to bring a romance author event to central Indiana and chose Fishers for its proximity to Indianapolis and because they liked the Fishers venue. Author events are big in the world of independent romance novels and highlight the enduring popularity of the genre.

Creating better curb appeal

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

How we manage the approach to our front door and porch can have a dramatic impact on curb appeal and guests’ first outdoors impression to your home. This front porch renovation says “Welcome” better than most and is both inviting and dramatic. The elegant update expanded the porch footprint considerably and carried the generous step the entire width, while adding a soft arch for intrigue. Concrete was poured for the expansion base and then capped with noche travertine from Turkey as the fresh surface on the porch and the step treads/risers. Rich tan and brown travertine hues are complimented by the full color limestone on the home, which marries well together. Now, the thrilled homeowners and guests have plenty of space to relax on the front porch and appreciate the Carmel neighborhood activity. Brightly colored cushions echo the vibrant front door and add a sense of energy to the entry. RETRACTABLE BLIND Notice the retractable blind suspended from

the ceiling? It offers plenty of shade when needed and a spot of privacy too. Exterior grade blinds are incredibly effective and cost friendly, too. We employ them often and love them recessed between the beams of a pergola. DETAILS Landscape updates were necessary, but minor. We employed several transplants from the “green thumb” homeowner including variegated iris that provides a huge splash of leaf color and beautiful purple summer flowers. It’s a mass of joy all season. Modern rubbed bronze coach lamps update the space even more and were mounted to columns that were enlarged and trimmed out. The larger columns serve to ground the space and offers an additional custom detail. Curb appeal and front entry doors set the stage for how we receive guests. Let’s do it in style.

Luxury tubs add beauty, style to bathroom

Commentary by David Decker

For homeowners looking to relax and unwind after a hard day, there’s nothing more soothing than taking a soak in a luxuriindoors ous bathtub. And with all of the different styles available on the market today, bathtubs can add beauty and style to your bathroom as well. Alcove Alcove tubs are the most common type of design found in homes today. They are designed to maximize space, because they fit in a threewalled enclosure. Generally, alcove bathtubs are paired with a shower combination, making it a practical option for smaller bathrooms. Drop-in These tubs feature only the shell of the bathtub, which is then fitted inside a framed enclosure. The enclosure is then finished to match bathroom cabinets or tile, making the tub enhance your bathroom design. While these tubs can be a bit more expensive, drop-in tubs could be a creative way to break out of the traditional alcove model. Corner Corner tubs are crafted with a large, square design that takes up a corner of the bathroom. Corner tubs are not as practical as other tubs designs, as they tend to take up lots of bathroom floor space, and require quite a bit of water to fill up the tub. But they can fit more than one

Freestanding tubs are growing in popularity because of their elegant and airy look. (Submitted photo)

bather at a time, and often come with many addon’s such as bubble jets. Freestanding These tubs are growing in popularity because of their elegant and airy look. Freestanding tubs do not use a casing around the tub, which makes the bathroom look overall less crowded. They can free up space to create a luxurious modern shower. They are typically the most expensive option. Walk in Tubs/Aging in Place Friendly Designs Some tubs have been specially crafted with the Americans with Disabilities Act in mind, which is intended to make tubs safer for everyone. Walk-in tubs are specially designed for people who have limited mobility. These tubs also include non-slip floor surfaces and wide edges.

Massaging Tubs If you are looking for a relaxing bathtub, you may want to consider a bubble massage tub. Unlike traditional whirlpool bathtubs, the massaging aspect for these tubs comes from air bubbles that pass through tiny holes in the tub. Whirlpool jet lines can trap water and mold, which is why I recommend bubble massage tubs instead. Some massage tubs also incorporate multi-speed settings so that you can adjust the bubbles to your liking. And there are even models featuring heaters, which will warm the water as it circulates. Add Ons The best part about visiting a spa is the pampering, and being pampered is all about the details. You can install underwater LED lights that will change color to suit your mood. Changing the water’s color can be a soothing, entertaining way to unwind. Designers have even created speaker panels that can be attached to the tub to send sound through the water. I hope you take the time to relax and unwind once in a while. Get creative and discover ways to incorporate a little indulgence in your everyday life. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.
