‘Smart, vibrant, entrepreneurial’ news@geistcurrent.com

On Feb. 18, Mayor Scott Fadness presented the first State of the City address, sharing his vision for Fishers, a city with an anticipated state of the city population of 123,000 by 2030. Fadness explained how Fishers will continue to be an extraordinary community, by focusing on: • Employment opportunities in Fishers • Investing in unique amenities to attract next-generation top talent • Promoting quality construction standards • Incentivizing redevelopment and continual vibrancy • Collaborating with Hamilton Southeastern school district to maintain a quality school system • Prioritizing high-quality, public safety “When we wrap all of these together, it paints a picture of a smart, vibrant, entrepreneurial city,” said Fadness. ‘Smart city’ Fadness addressed three points to ensuring that Fishers continues to thrive as a smart city. Efficient, effective delivery of services: The police and fire and emergency services departments are becoming more efficient and effective public safety agencies by focusing on adding value to the community when not on a call. Fadness highlighted the Fire/EMS department’s paramedicine program and the crime reduction unit at the police department. Well-planned community: Fadness acknowledged that Fishers had grown so quickly, often without a plan. “We have to be a well-planned city. The time has come to map out a plan for our community. This year, we will be rolling out a comprehensive plan for the next 20 years,” he said. Fadness encourages community input. Culture of excellence in education: Fadness said that Fishers must maintain a culture of excellence in education to continue to be an economic engine for the state of Indiana. “As a father and a mayor there is no bigger point of concern than our schools,” he said. ‘Vibrant city’ Fadness plans to revitalize older areas of the city and look for ways to engage citizens in community involvement opportunities. Revitalization: “When we forget about the older neighborhoods and older commercial corridors, we do so at our own risk,” said Fadness. “We’ve collected over $10 million in federal funds for roundabouts, new pavement, streetscape on the 96th Street corridor,” he said. “A lot of our neighborhoods are aging. We have a broad initiative to renew sidewalks and to repave some streets,”

DISPATCHes Correction - In the Current in Geist Feb. 17 cover story, several claims were made about the supplement being able to “heal pain.” This is an incorrect claim and Current apologizes for the error. The manufacturers of this supplement do not make any claims of being able to “heal pain” and strictly follow FDA guidelines. A disclaimer on the supplement: “This supplement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.” Attention Geist and Fishers residents – Current is hiring. Do you love breaking news?

Revitalizing efforts will maintain viability for these neighborhoods. Sense of community: Traditions make up the fabric of a community. “Last year, 105, 000 people came to our programs,” said Fadness. “Well-attended Nickel Plate District Amphitheater programs and community events are critical for the viability of our community.” ‘Entrepreneurial city’ Fadness is committed to the vision of Fishers as an entrepreneurial city and a thought-leader in the state. Launch Fishers: Launch Fishers is a co-working space for entrepreneurs working on startup, high-growth and high-potential enterprises. “Two and a half years later, we have 438 members--our goal was to have 200,” said Fadness. Launch Fellowship program: Fadness announced the Launch Fellowship program. HSE students with entrepreneurial aptitude can participate in a “boot camp” with John Wechsler, founder of Launch Fishers. Students will get a summer internship. Launch Fishers will pay half the salary for summer, and the hiring company with pay half. “I’m 100 percent committed to the vision of an entrepreneurial city,” said Fadness. Fadness closed the address with a request to residents to engage in their community. “If we work together, our future is very bright,” he said.

82nd Street work begins in March news@geistcurrent.com

On Feb. 17, engineers from United Consulting presented Phase 1 plans on behalf of the Indianapolis Department of Public Works to a crowd at an open house at the Abundant Life Church. The purpose of the project is to mitigate traffic congestion and improve safety along the East 82nd Street corridor. “With the E 82nd Street Widening and Improvement project, DPW will work to improve the stretch of E 82nd Street between Hague Road and Fall Creek Road, addressing many issues raised by both commuters of this street and by residents of the area,” said Benjamin Easley, public information officer for the Department of Public Works for Indianapolis. The first phase will extend from Hague Rd to Lantern Rd. Construction is planned to begin in March and will continue through 2016, with small details such as grass planting finishing in fall of 2017. Drivers will experience no lane restriction during the construction in 2015. In 2016, the project will restrict the eastbound lane between Raven Rock Road and Lantern Road. A detour is planned for eastbound traffic that uses Hague Road, 86th Street and Fall Creek Road. The project is being paid for by local and federal funds as part of Mayor Ballard’s Rebuild Indy initiative to make infrastructure improvements. The project will add a lane in each direction, add

sidewalks between Hague Road and Fall Creek Road. The project was bid in January for $8.3 million. A second phase of the project will extend from Lantern Road to Fall Creek Road. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2018. “DPW hopes to increase safety for pedestrians and drivers alike, as well as boost connectivity along this stretch with the addition and repair of travel lanes, curbs and sidewalks. The project also includes storm sewer maintenance to benefit the neighborhoods and subdivisions of this stretch of E 82nd Street.” Easley said.

As dangerous as cancer is, it can also be rather difficult to talk about. But Dan and his wife Beth are doing more than talking, they’re singing the praises of all those who helped. “I figure if we’re going to fight cancer, let’s get Community on our team,” declares Dan. And as Beth can attest, it was that team that she truly appreciates. She says, “What I liked about Community is that they had a navigator that helped us with all the tests and the terms we didn’t understand. It was comforting to have someone looking over our shoulders.” Of course successful outcomes don’t just happen, they take collaboration. Just ask Dan’s surgeon, Dr. Narayanan, who says, “Dan’s team and our team have given him every chance in the world to be around for a long time with his wife, his kids and his grandkids.” Choosing to beat cancer starts with choosing the right specialists. No one qualifies more than Community. For a referral to a participating physician, call 800.777.7775. To learn more about Dan’s story, visit eCommunity.com/cancercare.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Howard Dean, the would-be comedian? The 2016 presidential race is heating up, and we got a real charge out of the latest shenanigans, this one compliments of Howard Dean, the former failed Democratic presidential candidate and former Vermont governor. Sensing that Scott Walker, the Republican governor of Wisconsin, is gaining steam on his march toward the party’s nomination, Dean took a shot at Walker for not having a college degree. “The issue is, How well educated is this guy?” Dean asked. “I worry about people being president of the United States not knowing about the world and not knowing much about science.” Well, then, this borders on hilarity. We’re assuming Dean is just parroting the party line in trashing Walker. What would you expect from the party of elitists? We find it interesting that we never heard Dean worry, back in 2008, that his party’s nominee, Barack Obama, was nothing more than a community organizer and very junior senator. Did Dean believe Obama had learned everything he needed to know about the world from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright? At least Obama has a degree from Harvard, and we’ve seen how that has worked out. Speaking of Harvard, we wonder if Dean ever questioned Teddy Kennedy’s Harvard degree. You just have to love Teddy. Back in 1951, he was forced to withdraw from Harvard for cheating on his Spanish final. He was allowed back in – the check cleared – and eventually earned his degree. Another round, Teddy? “Si, mis amigos. Mucho gusto!” Unfortunately, we’re starting to see what direction this election season is taking, and it’s not going to be pretty. Walker is an accomplished governor, in our opinion, and if he stays the course – in other words, he doesn’t turn into the typical wimp Republican – he could be a formidable challenger. Let’s concentrate on what all the candidates have actually accomplished. Sorry, Hillary. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Adult supervision

Commentary by Terry Anker

As a kid, tornados never seemed that scary. The wind would blow, sure; but other than picking up the limbs that would be strewn across the lawn the next day, there seemed to be little impact. I grew up safe in the knowledge that if something bad was going to happen, that someone, an adult, would let me know. I think most of us did. But on a rainy day in April of 1974, I was forced to put this supposition to the test. Mom was making preparations for a ladies club party that she was hosting in our home that night. And, I’d just finished my homework and was watching a little television before being banished to my bedroom when the grown-ups came over. The unremarkable evening, like many scores of others, spun around us with little note of it. My Dad came home from the fields a bit early. It had been raining off and on all day. Such is spring in the Hoosier state. But as his pickup

parked on the gravel in front of the house, he didn’t come in immediately as was his custom. Instead, I noticed him peering at the sky from the front porch. Distracted by the TV, I didn’t immediately notice him come in the house – although the door was inches away. He was applying all of his considerable strength to close the door. His shouts were barely audible over the din. In an instant I was scooped up and delivered to safety. The next time I was in that room, it was gone. Yes, tornados are scary and do kill people. But the adults in my life were vigilant, and ready to sacrifice. We, even the dog, survived and built back the house. Today, it makes me wonder are we ready for the wind to blow?

Here’s a throwback column in celebration of my upcoming eighth anniversary at Current. Hi, and welcome to Department of Kids and Recreation official Mini-Van Tour. My name is Danielle. “Excuse me, Danielle what’s that odor . . . ?” I tell you what, let’s hold all questions ‘til the end of the tour. “But, it’s like the zoo . . . “ Thank you. Now this mini-van was established in the year 1998 under the direction of Chrysler- Motors. It can easily hold a doublewide stroller, four Size 3 soccer balls, and seven gallons of milk. Purchased in 2001, it had no dents or scratches, no stains or holes in the fabric, and gave off a fresh pine sent. All air vents were coin-free and the cassette player worked properly at that time. Before we enter the van, I’d like to point out a few interesting spots on the exterior, beginning with this sine wave-like mark along the entire left-side. That’s no custom detailing! This unique decoration came about after a rather close encounter with a mailbox two months into ownership. Now on the right, you’ll notice a more subtle scratch, though no less handsome. This beauty was the result of poor navigation by a seemingly sober woman who was helping the actual sober driver back out of a bar parking lot at 2 a.m. after a bachelorette party. I call these “accoutrements.” “Danielle, what’s that white scratch that looks like you hit a house?” For the last time, please hold all questions until the end. As I manually slide open the two side-doors (you may want to put those gas masks on now) please note how this seat belt has become entangled with the locking mechanism. That’s a new feature, folks! Under the back bench, take notice of the large pile of wrappers, discarded Kleenex, McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, and yes, it’s your lucky day, people, an honest-to-God sippy cup from 2006. Probably a nice sharp cheddar in there by now. Do I hear someone’s stomach growling? Ha-HA! In between the two front seats, you’ll see the typical collection of water bottles, pacifiers and reject Yu-Gi-Oh cards. But if you’ll peer just to the right, you’ll be in for a real treat. Anyone “hazard” a guess? “A moldy waffle?” “A mutilated Barbie?” Both reasonable answers, but no. That, my friends, is an actual corn dog from the 2003 State Fair. Ah, the memories. They grow up so fast, don’t they? But I digress . . . At this time, I’d like to conclude our tour. Y’all have been one of the greatest groups I’ve ever worked with, really. Peace out!

Lawn day’s journey Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Spring is just around the corner and I am already a wreck about what a lousy-looking lawn we are going to have again this humor year. I’ve tried everything in the past. Even watering. I don’t understand why a dandelion can grow between two slabs of concrete, but I can’t get grass to grow anywhere in my front yard. Dandelions should never have been referred to as weeds. That’s where the problem started. Somehow, it has become my responsibility to take care of this growing problem. Mary Ellen doesn’t mow the lawn even with what little grass we have. If I ask her about this, I’m afraid she’ll assume I want her to mow the lawn. This couldn’t be further from the truth. If she started mowing the lawn, that might jeopardize her femininity. Of course, if she really, really wanted to mow the lawn, I wouldn’t stop her. When I decided to marry Mary Ellen, I guess it didn’t matter. After all, she was intelligent, beautiful and caring. So I just assumed that if push came to shove (like, if I threw my back out and the grass got really tall), she’d mow then. Sometimes I watch other women mowing and it turns me off. They’re wearing old, ratty slacks and t-shirts, so it’s the last thing I’d want my

wife doing. Of course, I wouldn’t have to watch. I could go inside and turn on the TV. And when she finished, she could just freshen up before dinner. I’d order some take-out, of course. A man should always do his part. It’s chauvinistic for a man to make his wife mow the lawn. On the other hand, it’s kind of chauvinistic for a man to assume that a woman can’t or won’t mow the lawn, so I should at least ask her. Maybe she secretly wants to, and she’s afraid I won’t let her. Mowing the lawn is not easy. Doing it well requires a little planning and an effective technique. But my wife is capable of all that so I wonder what the problem is. And those new mowers kind of guide themselves and require very little strength. I’m sure that if she knew that, she’d jump at the chance to mow the lawn. My friend Bob came over the other day and we were talking about landscaping. He asked me why Mary Ellen never mows the lawn. “I don’t know,“ I said. “I never really thought about it.”

READER’S VIEW New stadium to unite Indiana Editors, Attending a professional sporting event is an unforgettable experience. For most people, it is the only time they enthusiastically high-five complete strangers. As you can imagine for fans, the proposed “Stadium for Indiana” is certainly more than just building some walls, stands and a field for our Indy Eleven professional soccer team. It is about creating a transformational experience that ignites passion in all people of various ages in our community, city and state. For the more than 60,000 members who make up the Indiana soccer family, and who play for one of the 140 member clubs or in one of the several Indiana adult leagues, attending an Indy Eleven game or a Men’s or Women’s National

Team at the new stadium, will inspire dreams. While the stadium will be a showcase home for Indy Eleven and other soccer events — including a potential professional women’s team — it will be a multipurpose stadium hosting entertainment and other sports at the professional, collegiate, high school and youth levels. The proposed stadium would be more than just an investment in our youths and attraction for our adults — it would boost Indiana’s economy.

Put one or two onions in your food processor or juicer. Apply the juice to dry hair and rub into the scalp. Put on a shower cap and wait 30 minutes, then wash your hair. Do this three times per week and you should see results within six to eight weeks. Source: Naturalon.com Cholesterol not so bad – Go ahead and eat that fried egg.

Shaw LifeGuard diverts stains Commentary by David Decker So, you’ve decided to renovate your home and install some new carpeting. There’s a lot to consider in terms of construction, indoors material and functionality. Where should you begin? Well, one of the biggest drawbacks of carpeting is the fact that stains and spills can cause permanent damage to the carpet or to the cushion underneath. So, if you’re currently sharing a home with pets, children or housemates that are accident prone, a stain-proof carpet option may be worth a look. Stain-proof carpet is specially made carpet that repels dirt, liquids and other messes (including pet accidents). Generally, this is achieved by treating the carpet with some kind of topical chemical coating. At the Affordable Companies, we are always on the lookout for standout products to spotlight and recommend to our clients. Recently, Shaw Floors have debuted a new stainproof carpet called LifeGuard, which features an innovative liquid-blocking design. Many stainproof carpets come with a chemical coating that protects the fibers of the carpet from liquids, dirt and other spills. However, those liquids and spills can quickly soak through the carpet where they find a permanent home in the carpet cushion. Carpets treated with Shaw’s LifeGuard system have a built-in barrier that also shields the backing or cushion as well. With LifeGuard, even heavy amounts of liquid

are unable to soak through and cause damage to your padding or subfloor. This means you will not have to worry about unwanted odors from mildew or pet accidents permeating through your carpeting. And the added layer of protection in the backing means that it will not wear down like carpets only treated topically.

It’s time for an intervention

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Researching the predictions for 2015 luxury outdoor living trends from nationally acclaimed garden magazines and landoutdoors scape architect associations was a bizarre disappointment. The stale forecasts were easy repetitions of the last 3 years. Fire features are popular and most families would love to have a backyard grill station. Really? Let’s dig deeper with larger imaginations and scour what lifestyles Millennia’s, single parent families and encore retirees are intrinsically searching for. BEYOND TRENDS Outdoor living has regained the relevance it had when boomers were hormonal teens. We lived outdoors from morning until dinner, then snuck out again. Family BBQ gatherings on flimsy chairs around a wooden picnic table were beautifully engrained in our schedules and visiting parks was a weekly ritual. That life is returning, only with more style! Provocatively, THAT is the largest trend in America. Here are stimulating others: 1. Details are rising to the top. To capture them, designers are being forced to listen. Coercing ideas, hopes and visions from client’s imaginations is imperative. The result? Incredible, low maintenance livable
