Foundation supports veterans with Camo Run By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As a military widow, Autumn Letendre is devoted to helping veterans. Letendre created The Golden event Star USA Foundation, a nonprofit, in 2011 to help support veterans and their families. “Her heart is so genuine,” said Golden Star board member Jody Mason, a Fishers resident. “I love to help her as much as I can because she is a very unique person.” The foundation’s second Camo Run is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. at Fort Harrison State Park (at Reddick Shelter) in Lawrence May 20. The 10K begins at 9:45 a.m., the 5K at 10 a.m. and the kids 1/4-mile run at 11 a.m. The New You will serve as the presenting sponsor. The run’s name comes from Camo Coverage, the foundation's family assistance program. The inaugural run coincided with the 10-year anniversary of Letendre’s husband Brian Letendre’s death. Brian, a U.S. Marine captain, died May 3 in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006. “He was an avid runner, so it made sense to do a run to honor him,” said Letendre, who lives in McCordsville and owns Abby Adams Boutique, 10122 Brooks School Rd., Fishers. Letendre said the support could be any need for financial or educational assistance. There is a process where applications are vetted. “Sometimes it’s a very intense request like rehab,” Letendre said. “Sometimes it’s a small request such as, ‘I can’t afford $250 for college books.' It covers a whole gamut, even Christmas presents. We recently received a request from a veteran who had a hole in their roof and could not meet their deductible. A lot of times it’s somebody who has tried all their options and they need a little help getting through whatever it is.” Letendre said requests could come from anywhere across the nation. The other project of her foundation is Dream, the college scholarship program for military members’ children. There were 220 runners at the first Camo Run. “It was great year for me as Brian’s wife to honor him,” Letendre said of the 10th anniversary. She was informed by two Marines when her husband died from a mortar hit. “Even though it’s 11 years ago, it is just

as fresh in my mind as if it was yesterday,” Letendre said. “Time passes, but you never forget how raw that moment was. The great thing is now I function at a different ability of pride and joy. Then it was just immense pain and tears. It’s exciting to be (at the) 11-year point knowing I can appreciate what has transpired in these 11 years and have the run change so many lives.” Autumn and Brian played soccer at Milligan College in Tennessee. John Garvilla, who was then the head coach of the women’s team and works with the men’s program, competed in the first race. “He knew of Brian’s love for running and he could not miss that monumental year,” Letendre said. “He’s on the national board of The Golden Star.” In addition to the foundation's board, there are committee members who help with the run.” All proceeds beyond cost from Letendre’s boutique go to the foundation. Jim Miller, a U.S. Navy veteran who lives in Geist, serves as the foundation’s vice president. Miller was looking for a way to give back for his blessing and said he is passionate about helping veterans. Miller said the foundation helped move a veteran out of his apartment and put his belongings in storage so he could spend eight months in rehab for alcohol addiction. Miller said Letendre had helped counsel that veteran and became a bridge to the help that is available. “There were a lot of bumps in the road,” Miller said. “But with us as a partner, we were able to smooth it out, so there was a successful end. So many veterans get halfway and stumble, (and if) no one is there to pick them up, they become a statistic.” To register for the race, visit GetMeRegistered.com/CamoRun.

The church’s contribution Commentary by Michael VandenBerg Recently, I was discussing with friends the contribution to a community that the church makes. They understood faith there were moral and ethical contributions and that often they added to the training of children to become better citizens. But most contributions, they thought, were directed toward its own members. Individual congregations contribute in big and small ways, and make no mistake, their contributions multiply. Let me give you a clear example. The small congregation I serve had a program for five years that contributed more than 100 loaves of bread each week to two local food pantries. If an average loaf of bread sells for $2, that’s more than $10,000 each year in bread. Then there is the labor to deliver it. We'll figure that at below minimum wage of $7 an hour to make the math simple. We had a total of four man-hours each week for a total of $28 per week, or more than $1,400, for a total of $11,400 annually in contributions donated for a total cost of $0. With all volunteers, the church multiplies its responses. Those who facilitated this

gift were doctors, auto salespeople, professors and even a judge. The government for independent grants considers 15 percent administrative costs to be good. Many nonprofits consider 20 percent to be good. And unfortunately, some for-profit and nonprofits actually use more than 80 percent for administration. All these contribute fractions rather than multipliers. This illustration is only one program from one small church. There are multiple programs and hundreds of churches, all contributing to the overall welfare of the community. This doesn't even consider the hospitals, schools, universities and agricultural projects that churches contribute to. Church is more than just preaching. It is being the body of Christ for the world. To read the full column, visit geistcurrent.com. 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 over 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.

Local author writes book on portal to ‘your inner world’ By Heather Collins news@geistcurrent.com When was the last time you became angry, fearful or anxious? When was the very first time? cover story Geist resident Richard McDaniel said during the past 40 years he has discovered a way to help people eliminate extreme, disruptive emotions through connecting current emotions with their originating incident. Through his process, McDaniel said he can help resolve deep-rooted issues that would typically require a dozen sessions with a therapist, in an hour or less. It doesn’t consist of a magic pill or hypnosis; it simply consists of connecting with one’s inner-self and reprocessing what McDaniel calls “stored feelings.” “It’s very simple. It’s very quick, very powerful,” McDaniel said. McDaniel has written a self-help and self-awareness book to help guide readers through the process of Stored Feeling Reintegration, a technique developed by McDaniel. The technique helps people to connect their feelings of anxiety, anger or fear with their original source and change their emotional reaction to conscious and unconscious triggers. McDaniel’s book, “The Portal to Your Inner World: It’s Not What You Think, It’s What You Feel” outlines his discovery of the SFR technique; the science of emotional responses; how to identify stored feelings; the influence of stored feelings; SFR success stories; and an outline of how to connect with one’s own inner portal. The book is a journey to help readers discover and recognize their own stored feelings. “If you can recognize within yourself that there are times that you have feelings that get evoked that carry far more energy than the situation warrants, then I’d say you and I can have an interesting conversation,” McDaniel said. McDaniel said he is very open about the fact that he has no formal training in psychology or counseling. McDaniel’s professional background includes co-founding his

own information and telecommunications technology consulting company and experience in science, technology and engineering fields. McDaniel said he was able to utilize his professional experience to better understand what’s going on inside the human body. “I understand networking, electronic communications. I have a pretty good understanding of how signals get from Point A to Point B,” McDaniel said. In his book, McDaniel helps readers learn how to connect with their inner portal and discover how emotional signals from the past (Point A) get evoked years, or decades, later in the present (Point B). “What happened back then is going to have an impact on how we react today,” McDaniel said. McDaniel said his process has helped him in everything from his love life to his golf game. McDaniel has used the technique to help several people along the way, includ-

ing Doug Sprenkle, a clinical psychologist and retired professor of Marriage and Family Therapy/Human Development and Family Studies at Purdue University. Sprenkel has been participating in successful talk-therapy sessions with McDaniel for several years, beginning in the late 1970s. “I think these ideas are consistent with a lot of things we have learned about the brain in recent decades, so it makes some logical sense to me. Based upon my own experience, I think it’s been very helpful. I don’t find it in any way inconsistent with anything that I’ve learned as a psychologist,” Sprenkel said. “It feels to me like there’s a very, very good chance that he’s onto something.” In the book, McDaniel summarizes 40 years of discovery in 100 pages that took 10 years to write. “Let’s start where we’re at here, the end result, and see where that takes us back to.” McDaniel said. “You’d be surprised.”

A stored feeling is a natural emotional response that has been augmented to play an enhanced role, primarily that of anticipating a threat. A stored feeling, when evoked, brings excessive energies creating extreme feelings and thoughts. These feelings and energies remain in our body significantly longer than that which a natural emotional response lasts. It was created and retained as a result of a specific outside event. When a stored feeling is evoked, a portal is opened up that can lead us back to its origin. Source: storedfeelings.com The book is available for purchase on Amazon for $12.95.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Divided notions Commentary by Terry Anker If we were to name only one, what would it be? Certainly, we thinking humans establish our lives in ways that set personal priorities. But if we had to identify a single thing, around which the whole of our lives was formed, could we do it? We might put our faith at the top of the list, or family, or career, or education. Others could hold that avoiding an addiction to be of the highest order – each moment would place that desire to precede all other needs. Often, our priorities shift over time. Those of us who put our children at the zenith would have surely not considered such a structure before beginning a family. Whatever the prioritization, we all follow some chart helping us to navigate our way in the tumultuous sea of daily existence. Alas, for some, we think so precious little about what our Polaris is (or should be) that we are led by it with little notion of its presence – or worse, our dominion over it. Over the past 64 years, North and South Korea, a people divided, have followed different guiding stars. The leaders of the North set as their first objective the preserving of their political regime. As such, military needs consume most resources, and national priorities are tightly constrained. The South followed an intellectual path to free markets and open democracy. Today, there are vast differences, evidenced by these divergent roads, with two of the starkest being life expectancy, which is 25 percent greater in South Korea, where personal freedom exists. If priorities set long-ago can destructively constrain our future growth, do we fall behind in failing to routinely review our own guide stars?

I am not a crier. Never have been. I don’t know if it’s because I grew up with four sisters and, in an effort to dishumor tinguish myself from the herd, decided to lock that emotional shtick down, or if it’s thanks to my 50 percent British blood that left me with a bit too much Yorkshire stoicism. Regardless, I rarely get weepy. But lately, I’ve noticed myself tearing up at the stupidest times. Have you seen the new Volkswagen commercial with the family traveling cross-country to deliver the grandfather’s ashes to the Pacific? Throat-clogger. Or the Principal Financial one where the dad has to quit school because his girlfriend gets pregnant, then 20-odd years later graduates, right behind his son? Gulp. At least I can blame these moments of weakness on the magical manipulators of marketing. But the other day I was sitting in the always-long drive-thru line of Chick-FilA, opening the mail, and out of the blue I begin full-on sobbing into my steering wheel. The culprit? Graduation information from the high school! I mean, seriously! I’m counting the days until “Geoff-Geoff” is on his merry way, out the door and onto independent, adult living. But between the dorm-fridge raffle announcement and information on cap and gown pick-up, all I could do was think about my first baby boy. Towheaded and talking at an elevated level to be heard above his invasive twin siblings. Playing 5-year-old rec soccer for the Green Power Rangers and being the tallest kid on the field. Breaking his collarbone in a pickup football game at a Derby party and our telling him to “Shake it off, you’ll be fine.” Jeeze-Louise, I’m choking up as I type! I pride myself on keeping my emotions in check, but this graduating from high school thing has me worried. I much prefer a sappy Hallmark ad. Peace out.

Mary Ellen went to a conference last week in Chicago and left me at home. Alone. When she abandoned humor me last year, I realized I did not know how to run the dishwasher or operate the convection oven. I felt guilty about all the dirty dishes she came home to, but I am really good with the clothes washer, so to make up for the mess in the kitchen, I went through Mary Ellen’s laundry basket and washed everything. I don’t know what she ate in Chicago, but when she got home two days later and took everything out of the dryer, nothing fit. Mary Ellen and I watch so many different programs that I can’t keep the story lines or characters straight. I continually ask her to hit the pause button so I can ask questions, like: Is that a good guy or a bad guy? Is that his wife or sister? Is this a flashback? The first night she was in Chicago, I checked out the DVR to catch up on some shows. There were shows like: “Underground,” “Billions,” “Homeland,” “Feud,” “24” and “Designated Survivor.”

I put on “Billions,” a great show about the world of high-stakes finance, starring Damian Lewis as cutthroat investor Bobby Axelrod. Five minutes into it, I called Mary Ellen in her hotel. “This Bobby Axelrod character, wasn’t he killed a few episodes back?” “No, Dick, you are thinking of Damian Lewis when he played Nicholas Brody in “Homeland.” “Is that the show where he beheaded two of his wives?” “No, that was when he played Henry the VIII in ‘Wolf Hall.’ “So that’s how he earned his reputation as a cutthroat.” Mary Ellen made me promise to quit watching TV so she could get some sleep. I searched under the couch and between the pillows, under the coffee table and behind the lamp. I wanted to turn off the TV. But it wasn’t remotely possible.

Your guide to being a fit mom Commentary by Kara Babcock The flowers are blooming and the sun is out! It’s time to get outside and enjoy the springtime in Indifamily health ana! After months of being stuck indoors, it’s wonderful to finally be able to do outdoor activities and enjoy the beautiful weather with your family. If your little ones are anything like mine, they love to be outside and be active. Here are some great suggestions on activities, places and exercises you can do with your little ones outside this spring. Walking stroller lunges Stand behind your stroller with your hands on the handlebar, shoulder-width apart. Lunge forward with one leg, pushing the stroller out in front of you. Your knee should be directly above your ankle and your thigh parallel to the ground. Return to the standing position and lunge with the other leg. “Kiss the baby” push-up Find a bench and park your baby’s stroller safely against the bench with the brake in place. Facing your baby/stroller, place your arms on it, shoulder-width apart.

A great rate.

No debate. Whether you’re renovating your home or need money for a vacation, our low rates are something everyone can agree with.

Kara Babcock, center, leads the way during a stroller ride. (Submitted photo)

Keeping back and abdominals strong, lower your chest to the bench and then press back to the starting position. Keep your body in a straight line. As you are lowering your body, give your little one a quick little smooch or peek-a-boo for some giggles! To read the full version of this article, visit currentincarmel.com.

Childless women increasing – There has been a small but significant increase in the number of childless women in their early 30s over the past decade, according to recently released data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey’s fertility supplement. In 2006, 26.2 percent of women ages 30 to 34 were childless, meaning they had never given birth to a child. By 2016, that number had risen about four percentage points to 30.8 percent.

3 stores closing in county By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Marsh’s presence in Hamilton County is shrinking. Three Marsh stores in marsh Hamilton County will close this month, following a May 11 announcement that the company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The supermarkets at 8766 E. 96th St., Fishers, and 1960 E. Greyhound Pass, Carmel, will close May 21. The store at 17901 River Ave., Noblesville, will cease operations May 27. Marsh issued a statement May 4, calling it a reluctant decision to close nine stores, including the three in the county. “Our decision was solely the product of the difficult competitive environment and in no way reflects on the efforts of the great associates working in these stores,” the statement said. Tom Mulligan, a Marsh spokesman, said he couldn’t supply specific numbers on how many employees each store had. All inquiries are being handled by the Marsh corporate office. “We are working to help our associates find other opportunities within

After the closings, there will be one Marsh store remaining in Carmel (2140 E. 116th St.) and one near the Carmel line at 10679 N. Michigan Rd., Zionsville. (File photo)

Marsh, as has always been our practice,” Mulligan said. “We also are partnering with WorkOne and the Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development to help our people hone their skills to re-enter the workforce.” After the closings, there will be one Marsh store remaining in Carmel (2140 E. 116th St.) and one near Carmel at 10679 N. Michigan Rd., Zionsville. There also is a Marsh-operated O’Malia store at 4755 E. 126th St. Mulligan confirmed that the company is seeking a buyer for the remaining stores. “The message is that Marsh is still moving forward with its plan to find a buyer or new investor to keep the stores open,” he stated.

TRENDS IN BACKSPLASH DESIGNS David Decker,The Affordable Companies The-AffordableCompanies.com • (317) 575-9540

By David Decker With so many styles, colors, and finishes available, it’s hard to decide which is best when designing a backsplash. Here are a few of our favorite designs. Mix-in the Mosaics: Typically used as an accent above the cooktop or on the entire wall, mosaic tiles are sure to create a striking focal point. Mosaics can come in a variety of finishes and sizes. When selecting the mosaic, consider its busyness as well as its color palette. Go Gray...With the Grout: Do you like the look of the classic subway tile, but want to put a unique twist on this timeless style? Try using a gray grout! It adds subtle interest to an otherwise standard white wall. Toss in the Texture: Whether it’s visual with a fire-glazed or crackled-glass finish, or physical with three-dimensional stone, adding texture to your splash can help set the tone of the entire kitchen. Play with the Shapes: We’ve all seen the standard square and rectangular ceramic tiles installed

straight on the wall before. Why not try something different? Arabesque, Diamonds, & penny-rounds in a neutral tone can add a sophisticated and unique touch to any kitchen. Why Use Tile?: Who says tile needs to be used on a backsplash? The latest trend in backsplash design is to eliminate the grout lines altogether and run the countertop material up on the wall. This can create a more dramatic focal point when installed as the backsplash too. Keep it Classy: Looking for a traditional backsplash for your traditional home? You can never go wrong with a natural stone. Try blending the tones of the cabinetry and countertop with backsplash to create one cohesive design. And don’t be afraid to mix sizes of the same stone for a more customized look. If you have questions or would like assistance with your design please call us today at 317.575.9540 to set up an appointment with one of our designers.

IBC spring showcase set for May 21

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Alyona Yakovleva-Randall calls Julia and Morgan Rust her babies because they have been with her at the Indiana Ballet Conservatory for eight years. dance The 16-year-old twin sisters, from Noblesville and are homeschooled sophomores, both excelled. YakovlevaRandall is like a second mom, the twins agree. Julia won the Senior Grand Prix award in the Youth America Grand Prix regional semifinals and then placed in the top 12 in senior women in the national finals In New York in April. She performed at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. Morgan qualified for the national finals, too. The Rust sisters will appear in IBC’s “Evolution of a Dancer” at 3 p.m. May 21 at The Tarkington in Carmel. Yakovleva-Randall said the spring showcase is one of IBC›s most beloved and well-received productions. “I look forward to dancing in it since I’ve been dancing (with IBC) since I was 8,” Julia said. “I’ve kind of been through all the levels. It’s really nice because it shows the progression of all the different dancers. They all go through this school and progress and grow.” Morgan said it was great to see the growth as they go through the levels. Morgan saw her own growth during the YAGP national finals last month. “It was an amazing experience,” Morgan said. “It was a competition, but I looked at it more as a growing opportunity because you got class every day, so you are able to push yourself and learn more about yourself every day rather than just one time on stage.”

Julia Rust will appear in Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s “Evolution of a Dancer” May 21 (Submitted photos)

Morgan Rust will appear in Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s “Evolution of a Dancer” May 21.

The Rust sisters have received several scholarship offers for short-term summer and year-round training. “We are definitely going to be able to stay together for the summer,” Julia said. “We aren’t competitive. We don’t think about that. When she wins something, I’m really happy because it feels like I won. When I win something, she is super-happy for me. We push each other in a good way.” Tickets for the spring showcase are $18 for students (high school and college with ID) and $30 for adults. For more, visit indianaballetconservatory.org.

Interior of Cairo’s Hanging Church. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Miracle of the Hanging Church Commentary by Don Knebel Members of the Coptic (Egyptian) Church trace their origins to Saint Mark, who they believe visited Egypt in 42 A.D. travel and became their first patriarch. Today, the Coptic section of Cairo is known for a unique church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to whom they attribute a famous miracle. Built as early as the seventh century, the church rests on a foundation of logs and stone extended between the tops of the south gate towers of the Roman-era Babylon Fortress, creating the illusion that the church was suspended in the air and giving the church the name Al-Muallaka, meaning “the Hanging” or “the Suspended.” Centuries of accumulated debris have raised the ground level around the church by about 20 feet, nearly burying the towers and eliminating the illusion, but entering the church still requires climbing 29 steps. The interior of the church has been remodeled repeatedly, but one of its most distinctive features remains. The vaulted wooden ceiling is reportedly intended to

suggest an inverted Noah’s ark. Seven huge icons above the altar are among the church’s 110 icons, one of which, called the “Coptic Mona Lisa” because of its iconic portrayal of Mary and the infant Jesus, was created in the eighth century. In the late 10th century, the Fatimid Caliph who ruled Cairo reportedly challenged Patriarch Abraham, who had recently remodeled the church, to prove that faith could move mountains, as Jesus had taught. Copts believe that after Abraham prayed for three days to Mary’s icon, she appeared and gave him the power to cause a section of a mountain near Cairo to break off and move, earning the Caliph’s favor. Whether or not the story is true, the Hanging Church remains a symbol of the ongoing Christian history of Egypt, and the mountain is still called “Mokattam,” meaning “broken off mountain.” Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
