Fishers neighborhoods getting resurfacing work By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Approximately 5.2 miles of Fishers neighborhood roads will be resurfaced in the coming months. roads The Fishers Dept. of Engineering has awarded the resurfacing contract and work is expected to begin soon and be completed by the beginning of July. We’ve identified two specific areas we felt were needing a lot of attention,” Assistant Director of Engineering Jason Taylor said. “One area is the Gray Eagle subdivision and then the other area is the various subdivisions located near Harrison Thompson Park.” The Gray Eagle area roads to receive work include Gray Eagle Drive and Duval Drive as well as streets to the east of Gray Eagle Drive within Links at Gray Eagle and to the west of Gray Eagle Drive within Woods at Gray Eagle. Other roads slated for resurfacing include Lantern Road in the Cottingham Estates subdivision, Harrison Parkway in the Harrison Green subdivision, Conner Knoll Parkway in the Conner Knoll, Harrison Green and Harrison Woods subdivisions and New Britton Road in the New Britton Commercial Park. “In addition, we make sure if any sidewalks or curb ramps aren’t up to (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance, we’ll update those as part of

the project,” Taylor said. The city uses an industry-wide standard of rating its roads called PASER, which scores streets on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being best. “These were in the lower range,” Taylor said. “Some of them were in the 3s and some of them were in 4s. We do everything we can to not let a road get to a 1 or 2.” No roads will ever be fully closed as part of the resurfacing work, although workers will need to establish lane restrictions at certain times.

A Mt. Vernon Middle School employee is facing felony charges of child seduccrime tion after an investigation by the Fortville Police Dept., the department announced in a statement April 1. Kisha Nuckols, 38, Fortville, has been employed by the Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation for approximately three years as a non-certified teacher’s aide, lifeguard and substitute teacher. She has been charged with two counts of child seduction and one count of dissemination of matter harmful to minors after being accused of having sexual relations with students on multiple occasions, sending explicit pictures of herself to students and attempts to seduce other male students. Fortville detectives said Nuckols has made contact with several students or former students of Mt. Vernon High School. They were told Nuckols attempted to contact students in August 2015 and several inappropriate mes-
sages and sexually explicit pictures were sent by Nuckols to the students since that time. According to the Fortville Police Dept. statement, victims said Nuckols would make initial contact with them via social media sites such as Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram and then meet them in person to perform sexual acts with them. The accusations were brought to the Fortville Police Dept.’s attention March 29 by an administrative member of MVCSC and the two entities have been working together closely since then. In a letter sent home with students April 4, MVCSC Supt. Dr. Shane Robbins said the alleged employee had been suspended, had her building keys collected and was directed not to come on school grounds. “The employee will be recommended for termination, and this will be finalized once ratified by the Board of School Trustees,” Robbins’ letter stated.
the city’s Drive Fishers alerts via the Fishers Alerts section of the website. “We post that weekly and this will be part of that,” he said. “We’re requiring the contractor to give us notification of which roads they’re working on a week prior, so we can notify the residents. We’re also coordinating with the (homeowners’ associations) on this, so they’re well aware and can push out notifications to their residents, and we’ve required the contractor to put door hangers on residents’ doors to let them know that there’s going to be work going on.”

LoKe hosting Bicycle Recycle Day By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Back for its second year after a successful first event in 2015, local bike shop LoKe Bicycles is hosting its Bicycle event Recycle Day April 16 at Brooks School Park. Jim Moffitt has owned and operated LoKe Bicycles, at 11640 Brooks School Rd., Suite 100, for approximately two and a half years. Last year’s first Bicycle Recycle event came about from community members asking him what they could do with their old, unused or unwanted bikes. “I’d tell people, ‘Well, we’ll take it, and I’ll give it to Circle City Relief through Conquest Cycling,’” Moffitt said. Moffitt knew people involved with Conquest Cycling, a charity organization formed out of Grace Church that works with Indianapolisbased Circle City Relief. “Circle City Relief is a program to help homeless and people less fortunate. Every third Sunday they go downtown and give clothing and food and just try to help people,” Moffitt said. “Conquest Cycling is part of that and they give bicycles to homeless people and
people less fortunate.” Moffitt and volunteers will collect donated bicycles from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 16 on the north side of the playground at Brooks School Park, 11780 Brooks School Rd. “It doesn’t matter the condition of the bike,” Moffitt said. “Some of them are like brand new and just hadn’t been ridden, and v some of them have been ridden into the ground… If it’s a bike that’s in really bad condition, we’ll take the parts off it and use the parts.” Last year’s event brought in approximately 175 bikes. “Over the course of the last year, we’ve probably done over 300 bikes,” Moffitt said. “I collect them all throughout the year.” The event’s bicycle-related activities also include a a bike rodeo at 11 a.m., a child bicycle safety clinic at 1 p.m. put on by a Fishers Police Dept. officer, free helmet fittings and bicycle safety checks where residents can have their bike inspected by LoKe mechanics. “We’ll put air in the tires, or if the bike needs more work done, I’ll make some 10 percent off coupons for here at the shop,” Moffitt said.

Of light and dark Commentary by Rev. Michael VandenBerg What do you see when you talk to Christians? Is it an attitude of sureligion periority, rejection, holier than thou, lack of caring? Perhaps you have met Christians who seem at peace, accepting, loving, caring, involved. Whichever it is, the Bible says that you can tell a lot about this believer. If they preach love but seem to only hate, then it is clear they do not know Christ. If they are genuinely concerned for your welfare, even if you are not a believer, and do so, they say, because of their love for Christ, then you can be assured they know him. We see how so many are judged by the action of a few in our society, all Muslims by their radical counterparts, all white people by their lawless few, all African Americans by those who make the news, all Christians by those who profess love but practice hate. We all know that to pre-judge is both wrong and certainly not helpful, but rather, as the Bible advocates, judge by the fruit of each one. If they hate then it says they walk in darkness. If they love, then they live in the light. So how should Christians approach the
Dispatches
issues of our day? Let’s look at just one of hundreds of possible issues, homosexuality. The Bible says that homosexual behavior is wrong, but then tells us to love one another. How do you do both? The answer is actually quite simple and straightforward, as most of God’s teachings are. We must accept that homosexual behavior is wrong and, like all sin, encourage those engaged in it to turn away from it and follow God. It never tells believers they can reject the person because of their sin, however. It tells us to love them, pray for them, encourage them, draw them closer to God. After all, if God rejected all sinners and not simply the sin his own son died to pay the price for, who would be left for him to love? Just as in good psychology or good communications, theology tells us that we need to work to resolve the issues without rejecting the individual. This is how we become enlightened. Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for more than 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.

Local organizations team up for tree planting at Mud Creek easement By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com More than 50 volunteers gathered to plant as many new trees and shrubs at a Geist-area conservation easement March 25, with the goal of re-naturalizcover story ing the area and adding biodiversity to the habitat with native trees and plants. Mud Creek Conservancy has been protecting the seven-acre patch of land since previous owners Bob and Barb Biesterfield purchased the land in 2007 and put it under easement with MCC. “A conservation easement means that the owner gives the development rights to Mud Creek Conservancy,” MCC board member Earl Simon said. “The owner still owns the property, but can no longer build on it. There’s a list of restrictions of what you can and cannot do, with the idea being to conserve it as much in its natural state as you can.” Mud Creek Conservancy has amassed 35 acres across six sites along Mud Creek since the organization was first founded in 1996. “The Mud Creek Conservancy was an offshoot of the Sargent Road Association, which is a local group that became very concerned with development here in the valley. We always call it ‘the valley,’ which is basically Sargent Road from 96th to Fall Creek Road,” Simon said. “As that grew, there were some of us that were members of the SRA that became very concerned about conserving some of the property here. Frank Smietana was the father or originator of the conservancy because he was the first person to donate property that’s a couple of easements off 86th Street at Mud Creek. That started it and it just started snowballing from there where we now have 35 acres under conservation.” Next-door neighbors Jeff and Carmen Ton, who have lived on Sargent Road for five years, purchased the Biesterfield’s property last year and have maintained the land’s easement as Jeff is also a MCC board member. At one time in the past, the land was forested to make room for a popcorn farm. Now, through a MCC partnership
with Earth Charter Indiana and Indianapolis-based Salesforce, the land near the creek has received 25 new trees and as many large shrubs. “We were doing a survey of our membership a couple months ago just to kind of get a feel for what they care about,” Earth Charter Indiana Executive Director Jim Poyser said. “Part of thanking them for that was we promised to plant trees.” Salesforce provided the funds to purchase the trees and shrubs and the company’s solution architect Sam Parsons, with Salesforce’s Earthforce team, brought 50 volunteers for plenty of tree-planting manpower. “We looked for native trees, so I selected trees that work well around a creekside for planting. They all came from a local nursery where they collect local seeds,” said Jerome Delbridge, an arborist with Treeo Tree Service and ECI volunteer. “We have some serviceberry, some oaks that grow well in wet areas, some understory trees that grow well in wet areas — it’s a broad selection. “Some of them are prairie shrubs so they’ll get to be 10 feet tall, others like the oaks will get to be 60 to 80 feet tall and 80 feet wide,” he added. “Sycamores will get to be 100 feet tall, and hopefully, they’ll live for over 100 years.”

Local groups looking to conserve land Mud Creek Conservancy: “We don’t use the land. It’s conservation,” Simon said. “Some people might ask, ‘Where are the trails?’ There aren’t any. It’s totally undeveloped … We leave the property in its natural state, except for some of the things we do with the invasive species. That’s the idea behind conservation. You kind of leave it alone.” “We’ve done a lot in the past with scout troops and Eagle Scouts that have projects to do,” Jeff Ton added. “You’ll see a lot of bird houses and duck houses that the scouts have put in. School groups have been out, too, so that’s kind of our education part to help people connect with the nature, but the idea is to increase the biodiversity throughout, which is one of the reason we’re doing the nature tree plantings and getting rid of the invasive species.” More: MudCreekConservancy.org
Arborist Jerome Delbridge welcomes the team of volunteers from Salesforce as they prepare to plant 50 new trees and shrubs along Mud Creek.
Earth Charter Indiana: “Earth Charter Indiana is a state-wide non-profit organization based on the Earth Charter,” Poyser said. “The Earth Charter is a document and blueprint that was crafted in the late ’90s and early 2000s. It’s basically a paradigm shift where we’re looking at all the challenges — poverty and racism, some problems in our political landscape like a lack of transparency — all within the context of climate change. We can’t solve these things in silos. We have to connect all the dots and make connections and solve problems with a lot of different kinds of people, and that’s what the Earth Charter’s about.” More: EarthCharterIndiana.org

Opening doors for our readers
As you might know, we use independent marketplace research at Current Publishing to determine what our content should be. The most recent round of research has been completed by SMARI, Inc., and the research firm treated us to something of an executive summary last week. While there is much to dig through, we learned, among other things, that Current is reaching a vast audience, approval exceeds 90 percent and readers want involvement. Because of that high level of interest, we are opening the door to readers that would like to participate in this column. As soon as we’re able, we would like to retitle this tome, now in its 10th year, Roses and Thorns. The idea is to have you and others tell everyone who or what in the community should get a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down and why. It would be a few words about a good deed done, or a few on something that takes issue with, for example, municipal infrastructure. Given the column’s space limitations, we would edit for length. The broader idea is to provide you and your fellow readers with an outlet, involve you more and maybe bring light to something that otherwise would not have been noticed. ••• We’re proud to support the annual Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast at Ritz Charles in Carmel on April 27, and we hope you will, too. It’s a 7 a.m.-to-9 a.m. fundraiser, and we always learn something. Chaucie’s Place, you might know, is a child advocacy organization that focuses on the prevention of child sexual abuse and youth suicide. Ticket ($10) may be purchased at chauciesplace.org.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Ben Franklin Commentary by Terry Anker Sir Thomas Browne, an English physician and theologian is quoted in 1642 as saying, “But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? ‘Charity begins at home,’ is the voice of the world.” Like most aphorisms, this holds mostly truth but leaves a gap or two in understanding (perhaps because of its intentionally concise nature). What is home? We’d all mostly support our own families. Perhaps, we’d help a neighbor – or a neighborhood. But, when do we imagine other humans to not be of our tribe? Is it a city line, a national boundary or a continental gap? My bride and I took to support the newly announced Ben Franklin Funds designed to support The Indianapolis Foundation in celebrating its centenary year. Following the lead of the American statesman who left small gifts for a pair of nascent colonial cities that, thanks to compound interest, matured into a big fund with even bigger
philanthropic impact. In a nutshell, The Indianapolis Foundation has asked that 1,000 people donate $100 and 100 people donate $1,000 to generate $200,000,000 in 2016. To start the party early, the Evening of 100 Dinners, June 15 or June 23, will bring together these donors to imagine a future. To give, join or host a dinner, or to learn more about the time-capsule, check out www.bein2016.org/bff/. One hundred years ago, Indianapolis did not include most of what it is today. A century from now, it might be bigger, or smaller, or gone entirely. Yet, even as we watch our own children grow towards a future that we will never see, I am optimistic that our little investment will stand as a beacon to future Hoosiers about the hope that we hold for them and our bit of earth today.

Q U O TE O F THE W EE K We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. – Benjamin Franklin
Last night I was hanging out with two of my sisters flipping through channels. We ended up on “Magic Mike XXL” humor and began a long conversation about the many different sequels that suck. (We strongly differed on “Pitch Perfect,” by the way, but that’s a whole ‘nother column.) After a while I remembered that my almost-15-year-old son was sitting right next to me, listening to us ramble but also half-heartedly watching a stripper movie. Rated R of course, and even though the volume was barely loud enough to hear (this movie is so not about dialogue!), it occurred to me that it was highly inappropriate for a freshman in high school. Then I realized that two nights ago I had allowed his twin to watch another adults-only movie, “Sisters,” and am seriously considering letting her attend the very risqué “Book of Mormon.” I’ve even started swearing in front of them. What. Is. Wrong. With. Me. Seriously? Where did that Mother of the Year go? As I expressed these views with my younger sisters, one confessed that she had accidentally taken her fourth and sixth graders to “Deadpool,” the exact opposite of a kid-friendly Marvel movie, and the other said her 3-year-old twins’ favorite is the PG-13 “Avatar.” We all agreed that we are terrible mothers. The thing is, we really just don’t care anymore. After having more than one child, it becomes too exhausting to monitor every TV show, radio program and/or book they consume. I think eventually parents reach their maximums on the censorship allotment that they’re given at the hospital (along with those crazy mesh underwear), and decide it’s not as big a deal as it once was. Plus, I actually trust my kids to make good decisions on their entertainment options, and if nothing else, those choices can lead to important conversations. Last night for example, one scene lead to a wonderful recollection of taking his great-grandmothers to a Chippendale show. The point is, eventually, you have to step back and hope you’ve done enough. If they choose “Archer,” at least it’s clever. Peace out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie After Mary Ellen returned from a recent solo trip, she asked if I had kept to my diet while she was away. I admitted going humor to three all-you-can-eat buffets, and I gorged because everything looked so good. That was the wrong thing to say. She’d just read an article claiming that one way to lose weight is to eat your meals while blindfolded. In several experiments, people who had their eyes covered ingested 22 percent fewer calories. That number was actually much higher, but researchers decided not to count all the food that fell on the floor or dribbled down people’s shirts. The theory behind this is simple. When you can’t see what’s on your plate, scientists say you’re “more apt to listen to your stomach.” I do listen to my stomach, and so does the entire congregation at the Heartland Church on Sunday mornings. I tested this theory the next day while my wife was out shopping. When she got home, I told her I had been doing a little experiment to see if this calorie-reduction plan was legit. Mary Ellen looked at the ketchup all over my face and shirt and said: “Okay, now to-
morrow see what happens when you eat blindfolded.” Researchers claimed that cutting off any one of your senses leads to less consumption of unneeded calories. I wondered what effect it would have to wear earplugs. “This is crazy,” said my wife. “Covering your ears will not make you eat less.” “It’s worth a try, Mary Ellen. What are we having tonight?” “I’m making your favorite: oven-fried coconut chicken, twice-baked potatoes and creamed spinach.” “I wish you had waited until I put in my earplugs to tell me that.” “Why?” “Because that sounded really good.” The bottom line is that I have tried covering my ears, my nose and my eyes, and I have not lost any weight. Next week, I’m going to try something I should have thought of before: I’m going to try covering my mouth.

Allergy advice for spring Commentary by Anthony Russo, BS, PharmD, RPh Spring is here, and area residents are eagerly welcoming the warm weather and outdoor From Your Pharmacist activities. Unfortunately, the beauty of spring also means a return of red, itchy and watery eyes as well as sneezing and runny noses for allergy sufferers. What are allergies? In short, allergies are the body’s way of overreacting to a foreign object in the air (pollen, for example) and fighting it with an immune response. Allergy treatments Our first line of defense for mild allergies are the daily, over-the-counter antihistamines. The three I recommend do not cause drowsiness like many others: Claritin, Allegra and Zyrtec. There is no strong evidence that one is better than another, but if the product doesn’t benefit you within 3-5 days, try another one. Your insurance may even pay for medicine, making them even more affordable. For more stubborn allergies, daily nasal ste-
roids fight more than histamine. Most insurance plans will help pay for nasal steroids, but three are available over the counter: Flonase, Nasacort and Rhinocort. There is more to using these medicines than simply squirting them up your nose, however. Ask your pharmacist for the proper usage technique. There are also alternative ways to treat allergies: • Using a nasal irrigation product like the Neti Pot or saline spray. • Vacuuming often reduces dust mites. • Getting tested by your doctor determines exactly what you are allergic to so you can avoid it whenever possible. • Paying attention to pollen counts and allergy indexes provides advance notice of the days you may feel your worst. Remember that it is always important to inform your doctor or pharmacist of over-thecounter medications you try. If these solutions aren’t helping, there are prescription-only options or allergy shots that may be appropriate. Anthony Russo, BS, PharmD, RPh is a pharmacy team leader at Giant Eagle Pharmacy in Carmel’s Market District.

‘File and suspend’ strategy going away Commentary by Joel Harris A little-known Social Security claiming strategy is going away after April 30 of this year. With the Bipartisan your money Budget Act of 2015, the strategy known as "file and suspend" will no longer be available to the American public. What is file and suspend? Under the current law, a filer who is at or past full retirement age can file for individual benefits and immediately suspend receiving them. This allowed a spouse or dependent to collect a spousal benefit off their record, in addition to getting an 8 percent simple interest growth to their benefits until the age of 70. The new law will allow anyone 66 or older to take advantage of this strategy through April 30. They can still file and suspend their benefits, which allows an eligible spouse or dependent to collect a benefit off their record under the old rules. That being said, anyone who is at, or will be reaching full retirement age before April 30, should seriously evaluate whether or not to file and suspend their ben-
efits before it is too late. After April 30, the file and suspend strategy will no longer be in affect. In a nut shell, for a spouse or dependent to collect a benefit, the original filer will have to file for their own benefit and be required to collect the benefit and forgo the 8 percent simple interest growth under the delayed retirement credits provision. If an individual files and suspends their benefits, all spousal and dependent benefits will be immediately suspended as well. One important caveat is if you've filed and suspended your benefits already, you will be grandfathered in and your strategy will continue to carry on before the new law is put in place. The time to act is now - so contact your advisor soon to see if it is worth your while to file and suspend your own benefits before April 30. Joel Harris is a financial advisor and president of Summit Financial & Insurance in Carmel. He can be reached at 317-507-1825 or at joelharris@tfamail.com

Blueprint for Improvement: From the ’80s to modern living Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to create a brighter, more modern and functional space the homeowners could enjoy with family and friends. 1. The fireplace was refinished in an asymmetrical style using new linear tile for the surround and quartz material for the face. 2. The fireplace hearth extended across the room to the new feature wall, adding additional seating and hidden storage to the room. 3. A media box was designed inside the fireplace mantle to hide behind the mounted television. 4. A new feature wall with custom lighting was built in place of the built-ins, giving the homeowners the perfect place to feature their glass collection. 5. New weathered concrete Coretec flooring and warm grey paint completed the modern space, giving it a cohesive look.
Before Background info: This Kokomo home was in need of a living room update. The homeowners built the home in 1984 and had not done any updating since. The living room needed to reflect the modern style of the recently updated kitchen. Their children also told them it was time for an update!
Before problems: The existing space was very traditional and did not reflect the homeowners’ contemporary style. The space no longer functioned well for the homeowners, nor functioned well with today’s modern technology. The space also contained built-in cabinetry the homeowners rarely used.

Brussels’ magnificent town hall
Dispatches
Commentary by Don Knebel
Designer workshop series – The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics. Join them for Start With Art and Let it Be Your Design Guide at 10:30 a.m. April 19 at the Indiana Design Center. Dianne Wright of Coats-Wright Art & Design will present. RSVP via email to concierge@IndianaDesignCenter.com.
The town hall of Brussels, Belgium, is one of the most impressive buildings of its kind in Europe. The city travel it serves is smaller than most people imagine. What became the Brussels town hall was begun in the early 15th century when Brussels was one of four capitals of the Duchy of Brabant, a state of the Holy Roman Empire. The Gothic building originally included a short belfry on one end and was expanded in 1444 by adding a larger section adjacent the belfry. In 1454, the belfry was replaced by a 310-foot-tall tower featuring an open octagonal pinnacle topped by a sixteen-foot-tall gilded statue of Archangel Michael, the patron saint of Brussels. Michael, the only angel referred to by name in the Old and New Testaments and the Quran, is slaying a dragon thought to represent Satan. An improbable local legend says the tower’s architect jumped to his death when he recognized the tower was off-center. Brussels’ town hall is located along the west side of the Grand Place, a lively
Simple facial mask – Here’s a super simple facial mask use can use to tone and tighten skin. Beat two egg yolks, and apply them to your clean face, forehead and neck, avoiding the sensitive area around your eyes. Leave it on for 20 minutes as you relax on your bed with pillows under your feet. Do not talk while relaxing – the egg yolk will crack, peel and fall off before it gets to do its work.

Manicure tips – Petroleum jelly is very useful for manicures. When you open a new bottle of nail polish, put a thin coat of the jelly around the neck of the jar to keep it from sticking in the future. Before you use the polish, use a cotton swab to apply more petroleum jelly to the skin around your nails. That way, any polish that misses won’t stick to your skin. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com

public square surrounded by guild halls and museums. One of the museums holds 137 statues of nobles and saints originally displayed on the town hall’s façade, now replaced with replicas. When Belgium split from the Netherlands in 1830, Brussels became the new country’s capital and the Brussels town hall served briefly as the seat of government. Today, the town hall holds the offices of the mayor of the City of Brussels, whose 170,000 residents speak both French and Dutch. The City of Brussels is one of 19 independent municipalities comprising the BrusselsCapital Region, a polyglot urban area with a population of 1.2 million. Despite its relatively small size, the City of Brussels is the home to the headquarters of the European Union and NATO, making it the unofficial capital of Europe.
