Workers preparing for Ind. 37 planning, surveying By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com While construction is still years away from beginning, progress has been recently made on the Ind. 37 improvement project as the City of roads Fishers has selected a collection of Indianapolis-based engineering and environmental study firms that will begin work soon. “The vendors we've selected are the ones that are going to help us with the outreach, the design, the environmental study, communications, purchasing right of way — the stuff we have to do upfront before we can build anything,” Fishers Director of Engineering Jeff Hill said. Once built, the improvements will replace signaled intersections along Ind. 37 — from 126th Street to 146th Street — with roundabout interchanges that will split Ind. 37 traffic from cross street traffic, similar to Keystone Parkway in Carmel. “We'd love to bring the improvements to the citizens of Fishers and Hamilton County — it just takes a little bit of time before we can get there, though,” Hill said. For now, surveyors will collect topographical data for preliminary engineering while environmental study firm Lochmueller Group will examine the project’s effect on the area and what permits may be required. “Realistically, since we have a four-lane divided facility there today with big intersections and roads crisscrossing the corridor — and we're kind of more

or less putting things back in the location they are today versus plowing through a farm field where nothing is — we really don't expect to find a whole lot,” Hill said of the environmental study. This stage of the project will take approximately one year, during which commuters can expect to see surveyors and environmental workers on site along Ind. 37 in vehicles and on foot gathering their data. Concurrently, the city and engineers will begin to develop detailed design plans for the project’s new roads and bridges and will determine where additional right of way land may need to be purchased. RQAW Consulting Engineers & Architects has been hired as the project manager, help-

ing lead the day-to-day efforts of the project along with City of Fishers staff. The firm also has been charged with meeting area business owners and those affected by the project to spread the word for what Ind. 37 is going to become. The city’s hired team for the project thus far also includes American Structurepoint, leading the design efforts; DLZ, leading surveying and utility efforts; and ANF Engineering, helping with the project’s traffic management aspects.

Gas leak closes 116th, leaves residents stuck By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com

A telecom company contractor’s drilling led to a gas leak June 3 on 116th Street. While the leak was able to be conroads tained and stopped with no threat to nearby residents or needing to evacuate any homes, the situation caused residents an inconvenience as a stretch of 116th Street was closed from near Cumberland Road to near Hoosier Road at an inopportune time of the day. “Around 3:45 or 4 p.m. (June 3), there was a contractor working for one of the telecom companies boring something underground. They hit a gas line that was not marked and had a gas leak, so they had to shut down the road in order to bring equipment in,” Fishers Director of Engineering Jeff Hill said. “They went on both sides of the road and crimped down the pipe to stop the gas leak and open the road back up. It was probably closed until close to 7 p.m., so it was unfortunate timing. “It was sealed off, so everything is safe now and there’s no real threat,” he added. “It was a fairly significant inconvenience, but the gas company has started working on restoration to get that main

back in service.” While nearby residents weren’t in harm’s way from the leak, the area’s road closure left one neighborhood’s residents stuck in or out. “We’re one of the only neighborhoods in Fishers with only one entrance and exit,” Spyglass Falls homeowner’s association president Nate Kellner said. “That gas leak actually happened right across from our entrance, so nobody from our neighborhood for about three hours could get in or out … We were pretty much stuck with nowhere to go.”

Kellner said the sole entrance and exit for Spyglass Falls, at Klotz Farm Boulevard and 116th, has become the biggest issue he deals with as HOA president between accidents at the non-signaled intersection and traffic making coming and going difficult anytime construction crews are in the area. “It has been a battle for years,” Kellner said. “We actually just had a meeting coincidentally, and the city is going to start looking at what the feasible options are for another entrance to our neighborhood.” According to city codes passed after Spyglass Falls’ construction, subdivisions with more than 49 homes built today are required to include a secondary access point. “They’ve been in good communication with city officials and the neighborhood next to them, and there’s been good dialogue,” Hill said. “I certainly hear their concerns … We’re still in the mode of gathering a little bit of additional data, and then we’ll present a few options of action we could take to our board of public works and safety in the coming weeks or months.”

After existing pavement is patched and resurfaced, crews will shift traffic to the outer lanes of I-69 to allow space to build an additional lane in the median. (Submitted illustration)

Construction begins on I-69 news@youarecurrent.com

Milestone Contractors began patching existing pavement on southbound Interstate 69 between Campus/Southeastern roads Parkway Exit 210 and State Road 37 Exit 205 June 7. After patching pavement on I-69 in both directions, crews will then begin paving a new asphalt overlay on the section of the highway. Patching and paving operations require alternating lane restrictions, which will be in place overnight from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Saturday nights. After existing pavement is resurfaced, crews will rehabilitate interstate bridges and traffic lanes between Exit 205 and Exit 210 will

be shifted toward the outside shoulders to begin construction of an additional travel lane in the median. One lane of I-69 will remain open in each direction at all times, and two lanes will remain open during peak daytime travel times. The speed limit on I-69 through the work zone has been reduced to 60 mph and is further reduced to 50 mph when workers are present. At Exit 210, Milestone has begun mobilizing cranes and other equipment to prepare for construction of the new double-crossover diamond style of interchange for Campus/ Southeastern Parkway and I-69. Construction on the interchange is scheduled to begin after July 4.

New nonprofit REN Foundation celebrates launch with ’40s-era USO show

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com A new Indianapolis-based, nonprofit foundation dedicated to health, wellness and empowerment through, among other things, the use of music, appropriately celebrated its launch with a 1940s-style big band concert that also cover story honored the 75th anniversary of the United Service Organizations June 4 at Fort Harrison State Park. Dr. Yvonne Allu, a St. Louis native but Indianapolis resident for 25 years, founded the Real Empowerment Now Foundation as a 501(c)(3) organization last July. The USO show event was part of the foundation’s Jazz for the Health of It initiative — which promotes full-body health and wellness through the use of dancing to jazz music — in collaboration with the Indiana Arts Commission’s Art in the Park program and the Dept. of Natural Resources. “Our mission is to help people live their best life and healthiest life, and we do that through the use of arts, health and humanity. That's our main mission,” Allu said. “Jazz for the Health of It is all about music and movement therapy. If we can get people moving, we can keep them healthy.” The REN Foundation takes its name from Allu’s late brother, Kevin Rainier “Ren” Murray, who died in 2009 as result of a motorcycle accident. The siblings were very close.

Gina McLaughlin sings a 1940s tune with the Clifford Ratliff Big Band.

“My brother’s nickname was Ren. He was a 52-year-old who was on a quest for health,” Allu said. “He rode his motorcycle for charities on a regular basis, and he was always a giving person. After he passed away, I just wanted to give back, and I couldn’t think of a better name for my foundation than Ren. He was my inspiration.” Allu is a licensed chiropractor and acupuncturist with a background in public health education and health and wellness coaching. She’s also a noted jazz vocalist and put her skills to use as a performer alongside the Clifford Ratliff Big Band during the June 4 event at Fort Harrison State Park. “Jazz is as American as we get. It's played and loved internationally, but its roots are here. I wanted to be able to take this jazz concert and preserve the music from the jazz era and celebrate our soldiers,” Allu said. “I come from a military family, so I have a special place in my heart for the military. What better way to celebrate them than to partner with the USO and celebrate their 75th anniversary at Fort Harrison here? It all came together perfectly.” In addition to its own programming and fundraisers to support those initiatives, the REN Foundation plans to field teams and be involved in other area fundraisers and charity events, and is planning to address obesity and host its own heart-health walk next year in downtown Indianapolis.

Empowering Programs: The REN Foundation plans to work toward its mission of helping people live empowered, healthier, fuller lives through the use of a trio of signature programs. Jazz For the Health of It A dance and movementcentered wellness program, J4HOI promotes full-body health, musical therapy and healing through dancing to jazz music. The program will promote health and wellness as well as educate participants of all ages, from preschoolers to senior citizens, on the history of jazz at dance workshops and public events and performances.

In My Sister’s Kitchen A comprehensive health and wellness program utilizing healthy eating, nutritional therapy and dietary training, IMSK plans to work with women and their families to help create access, opportunity and training to build healthier communities with individual and group instruction and the use of social media and community gatherings. The initiative will partner with healthy eating advocacy groups, community garden associations, anti-hunger organizations and government agencies who share a mission to end hunger and promote healthy eating.

The Butterfly Effect “There are over 30 million people in the United States with undiagnosed thyroid issues, so we’re going to keep the information going through our recourse and websites,” REN Foundation founder and executive director Dr. Yvonne Allu said. Taking its name from the basic shape of the thyroid, The Butterfly Effect is devoted to empowering patients to better health and wellness in efforts against thyroid disease. The initiative aims to demystify the causes and effects of thyroid disease to help individuals heal holistically with educational programming at health centers and will seek to work with other health and wellness agencies to advance knowledge and wellness related to the thyroid.

Pity the fool

FR O M   T H E b a c k s ho p Referendum on transit is coming There has been little coverage of this, but the long arm of government is coming after a small (for now) slice of your income for mass transit ($0.25 per $100 of income) in Hamilton County. Boone County can’t be far behind. A referendum will be on the Nov. 8 ballot. Vote “no.” Here’s why: • Look at IndyGo as an example, and tell us when it turned a profit. You can’t, because it hasn’t. Same for Amtrak, a business disaster. • There is much talk about building for the future, and that’s fine. We vastly prefer a privatized system with real profit-and-loss oversight. • This isn’t discussed: Mass transit has several disadvantages, including possible threats to personal safety on the ride and in the community, irregularities in scheduling, and the fact that, in some areas, mass transit could have limited coverage and could be available during limited hours. • Too, various types of public transit are subject to malfunctioning equipment as well as service disruptions caused by emergencies and even labor strikes. • Traffic. It is stated that mass transit would take alternate routes. Do those include the routes motorists take to avoid the jams? • Government usually is way off base when it comes to ridership, economic impact and other such projections. • The rate won’t remain at $0.25 per $100 of income. They’ll just raise it “as necessary.” It disgusts us whenever government comes after even more of our money. Typically, it has shown itself to be a poor steward of our dollars.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Running to run down Commentary by Terry Anker We run to the post office. We run to the store. We run to the school to pick up one offspring or another. We run, run, run. Hoosier colloquialisms of “running” hither and yon aside, many of us run in honest-togoodness foot races. We run marathons (all 26 miles, 385 yards). We run half-marathons. We run 10Ks. We run 5Ks. We run on the street and have even gone so far as to create treadmills so that we can run endless miles! The point is, one could surmise, that we run A LOT. But where does all of this running take us? Do we have an objective? Are we running toward something new and positive? Are we running away from something frightening and shunned? Or, are we simply continuing to run because we don’t really know how to stop? The treadmill where I have been known to log a mile or two includes a small digital screen that generates imagined hills that

the user is encouraged to surmount. They are designed to push a reluctant athlete to burn a calorie or two more. If burning calories is the goal, it works. But if we aren’t really going anywhere anyway, what’s the point of breaking a sweat? The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates said, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not of fighting the old, but on building the new.” He has a point. We cannot run enough miles to escape our past. It exists and is permanent. However, we have enormous control over our forthcoming present – said another way, the direction and speed in which we shall run in the future. So, is all of our running getting us anywhere? Or, at the end of the day, will we be in the same place only feeling a bit more run down? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.

When I was a kid, I pitied the fool who wore glasses. (I also saw Rocky III in the theater multiple humor times and had a semicrush on Mr. T.) I prayed to every Catholic saint I could think of to spare me the horror of poor eyesight and the stigma that came with having “four eyes.” Later, during my short stint in the Air Force, I again pitied the kid with sub-par vision who had to exchange his contacts for hideous safety-goggles. I thanked baby Jesus that I didn’t have to deal with the added pressure of wearing “birthcontrol glasses” while trying to climb a 20-foot rope ladder under extreme duress. Then, I married a boy with terrible vision, and soon came to see that a guy in glasses is hot, plain and simple. Maybe it was my new-found maturity, but I think it was the world simply becoming more accepting of people in glasses. So yesterday, when my almost15-year-old son was given the news that he is a tad bit near-sighted and needs corrective lenses for school and driving, it wasn’t the social death sentence it would have been in 1982 or even 1991. Hooray for progress! And Andrew was thrilled. Sure, he was happy he wouldn’t have to always sit in the front row or continuously squint, but he was just as excited to have an excuse to wear glasses. Imagine that! The ostracizing plastic-and-glass contraptions of my youth have become the essential cool-kid accessory. As the technician helped him try on different frames, he grew more and more confident with his new look. Of course, the gal knew how to help along a sale: “Those really accentuate your jaw line.” “These bring out your hazel eyes.” “Did you recently win a Nobel prize?” Well played, Ossip. Well played. But I have to agree, Andrew is a stud in glasses! No pity necessary. There’s no real point to this column except to comment on how times change. And to note that I googled Mr. T, and he still looks pretty good, even without glasses. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

If the surge in barbecue and smoking competitions across the nation is any indication, grilling has become an art form. recipe This Father’s Day, grab dad and gather around the grill to try a technique that’s rising in popularity – smoking – and create memories together. From secret marinades to tricked out grills and smokers, competitive smokers know there is a near ritualistic approach to teasing the perfect flavor out of a premium cut of meat. Smoke like a pro with these tips from Omaha Steaks executive chef Karl Marsh. Start with style – Start by deciding how you’d like to prepare your meat. Smoking infuses flavor throughout the meat, while extended cook times at low temperatures make it extra tender. Smoking also lets you create unique flavors using wet and dry rubs, seasoned wood chips and planks. Choose your cut – The most popular cuts of meat to smoke are brisket, ribs, pork shoulder or turkey, all of which are typically large in size. Guarantee a great experience with new Omaha Steaks Brisket for smoking, which was created with the competitive barbecue and smoking circuit in mind. Ready your rub – For the best results, brush meat with cooking oil or another liquid ingredient (such as yellow mustard) before adding the rub. Coat both sides with rub.

Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer Makes: 4 cups Ingredients: 2 cups apple juice, 1 cup cranberry juice, 1 cup canola oil, 2 tablespoons red hot pepper sauce, 1/2 cup Omaha Steaks Ancho Chile Rub Directions: Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Set up the smoker – Preparation varies from one recipe to the next, but one constant is the importance of maintaining a steady temperature. As you prepare your charcoal, be conscious of where you’ll place wood chips or other flavor enhancers. Find more, visit omahasteaks.com.

Ancho Chile Rubbed Smoked Beef Brisket Total time: 13-16 hours Ingredients: 1 whole Omaha Steaks Brisket for smoking, 2 cups white vinegar, 2/3 cup yellow mustard, 3/4 cup Omaha Steaks Ancho Chile Rub, 4 cups Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer, divided (recipe below), 8 cups apple or cherry wood chips, soaked in water Directions: Remove brisket from bag and rinse with white vinegar then water. Dry completely using paper towels. Slather brisket with yellow mustard. Rub generously with ancho chile rub and inject with one cup Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer. Prepare smoker using one chimney of pure lump charcoal fully lit and one chimney of pure lump charcoal unlit. Make sure water pan is full and adjust vents until smoker maintains a temperature between 225 and 250 F. Place brisket on smoker, fat side up, and brush smoking spritzer over top. Every hour check smoker temp, squirt with smoking spritzer and add handful of wood chips. After three hours, flip brisket, fat side down, and squirt with spritzer. After six hours, flip brisket, fat side up. Wrap heavy-duty foil around the last 3-4 inches of brisket tip to prevent it from drying out. Restock water pan, and add lump charcoal as needed. Adjust vents until temperature is between 225 and 250 F. Beginning at eight hours, check internal temperature every hour, and apply spritzer and wood chips. Between 11-13 hours, when internal temperature is between 195 and 200 F, if fork slides easily into brisket, it is done. Let brisket rest for one to two hours before slicing and serving.

Mini-golf makes a comeback at the Indianapolis Museum of Art Commentary by Jenni Ingersoll The Indianapolis Museum of Art has created an Indiana-inspired mini-golf course. Mini Golf at The IMA celebrates family fun the 200th birthday of our state with holes themed around Hoosier history, heritage and landmarks. Designed by local and regional artists, the interactive art experience remains open through Oct. 30. Situated outside on the IMA Sculpture Court, instead of windmills and water-traps, the obstacles on these 18-hole greens include electric guitars, covered bridges and chimes tuned to play (“Back Home Again in Indiana”). A whimsical likeness to President Benjamin Harrison, a farm field dotted with miniature wind turbines and a layout of iconic landmarks including Monument Circle and the Speedway oval make obvious connections to Indiana, while the “Great Squirrel Invasion of 1822” is an unfamiliar state fact. A nod to Hoosier native and “New York Times” crossword puzzle editor allows golfers to play the crossword maze and solve the puzzle as well. The course is available during regular museum hours, including extended hours on Thursday nights. Mini-golf tickets are included with

admission to the IMA or $8 per ticket on free admission dates. With no reserved tee times, tickets are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. A clubhouse featuring refreshments by Sun King Brewing and King David Dogs is open Thursday through Sunday for golfers to enjoy before or after hitting the course. For a special Friday night out, play a round of golf while

waiting to catch a movie during the Summer Nights Film Series. The course is challenging and extra time should be taken to read the informational plaques and experience the creativity of each hole. The unexpected mix of art and mini-golf combine for a fun outing. For more, visit imamuseum.org.

Born and raised a Hoosier, Jenni Ingersoll is a contributing writer for an online travel magazine, The Travelers Way (thetravelersway. com) and enjoys traveling with her family, exploring destinations close to home and a little farther away.

Updating your home, increasing home value Commentary by David Decker

Updating a kitchen and bathroom will lead to your home reflecting what buyers are looking for in today’s market. (Submitted photo)

It’s that time of year again: real estate season. You may have noticed more houses going interiors up for sale in your community. If you’re considering hiring a realtor and selling your home, are you ready? Is your home reflecting what buyers are looking for? If your budget is modest and you want a quick update, consider tackling a small or half bath first. There are attractive tile flooring options that won’t break the bank, such as vinyl tile or vinyl planks. Stylish, modern faucets can be replaced in an afternoon and still provide an updated look. Is your bathroom still sporting can lights or spotlights from the ’80s? It might be time to let those go. If you’re not familiar with electrical projects, it’s worth it to hire a professional to get it done right the first time. New lighting is not only fashionable but can brighten up your space immensely. If your bathrooms are in good shape and you have a bigger budget, you might focus on your kitchen. If your

appliances are dated, you can look at updating to stainless steel. Faded or chipped cabinets can be refinished to a modern white or a trendy neutral color, such as gray or even sage green. Updating your countertops is always a good idea. Granite is still popular, though other materials like quartz, solid wood, or marble are gaining interest. Kitchens sell houses above all else so make sure your kitchen is something people will remember. Any kitchen or bathroom remodel should always increase the value of your home and thus help with resale later. If you’re still stuck on where to begin, give us a call at 317-575-9540. We’ve worked with many homeowners to help update their homes and can help you, too. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (317-575-9540, the-affordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david. decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.

One of those days?

Tips to keep mosquitos away Commentary by Patrick Lewis According to the Office of the Indiana State Chemist, June and July are the peak months in our state for West Nile Virus to safety be spread. This means the next two months tend to be the busiest for our pesky little friends. Who wants to be unable to enjoy an evening on their patio without covering up in clothing and coating themselves in chemicals? With that in mind our company would like to give you some tips to keep your property mosquito free. • Eliminate stagnant water and drainage – Mosquitoes require water for breeding. Ensure that there are not areas of stagnant water on your property such as clogged gutters, drainage ditches, low spots in your yard that collect water or even a flower pot. • Remove clutter and debris – These could be as simple as tarps, children’s toys collecting water, a bird bath, an inoperable fountain or a bucket sitting upright in the yard. We recommend changing birdbath water weekly, ensuring toys are put away in a manner that

they will not collect water, keeping tarps taught so that water will not puddle and flipping over buckets and containers. • Ground cover and grass – Keep tall grass, weeds, and brush trimmed around your home. These are all areas where mosquitoes rest throughout the day. • Don’t rely on bug zappers or citronella – These solutions are not very effective for mosquitoes like they are for other insects. This is because mosquitoes that are biting you are attracted to your heat and carbon dioxide, which cannot be masked with these things. Zappers catch some mosquitoes just by chance, but mosquitoes are not attracted to light like moths, flies, etc. • Utilize residential mosquito services – Take back your yard with large-scale services to treat your entire backyard. Patrick Lewis is a Hamilton County resident, Purdue graduate and owner of NoSquitoes – Outdoor Bug Control, a company that specializes in mosquito eradication services.

Some Americans may remember that Maria Theresa of Austria was the mother of Marie Antoinette, who lost her head travel during the French Revolution. Most don’t know that Maria Theresa built a luxurious summer residence inspired by the French palace whose excesses contributed to her daughter’s demise. In the 16th century, the Habsburg family, which ruled much of Central Europe until 1918, acquired a tract of land southwest of Vienna, called Schönbrunn, for royal hunting expeditions. In 1688, Leopold I commissioned a design for a grandiose palace on the site, intended to rival the Palace of Versailles. Financial realities prevented him from realizing his dream. When Leopold’s son, Charles VI, died without sons, his daughter, Maria Theresa, succeeded him. In 1743, she began building a baroque palace at Schönbrunn based on the original designs, eventually adding a floor to accommodate her 16 children, the second youngest of which was Marie Antoinette. When completed, Schönbrunn Palace contained 1441 lavishly appointed rooms, twice

as many as Versailles. A Great Gallery evoked Versailles’ famous Hall of Mirrors. The Schönbrunn Palace has long played host to history. In 1762, Mozart, then six years old, played the harpsichord for Maria Theresa and her family in a mirrored parlor, jumpstarting his career. In both 1805 and 1809, Napoleon lived in the palace after capturing Vienna. After Napoleon was exiled, his son by Maria Theresa’s great granddaughter, whose father Napoleon had defeated, occupied Napoleon’s favorite bedroom. In 1961, President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev met in the Great Gallery to try to reduce tensions following the Bay of Pigs. Forty of the most important rooms of Schönbrunn Palace are open to the public, providing insight into the life of Maria Theresa, one of the greatest European leaders of her time. A trip to Vienna is not complete without a visit to Schönbrunn. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column, visit donknebel.com.
