Dispatches Hamilton County girls earn Girl Scout Gold Awards – Three Hamilton County girls, Haeli Juthani, Julia Miller and Caroline Temple, have earned the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a girl can earn in Girl Scouts. An overall lack of school spirit at her high school spurred Juthani's Girl Scout Gold Award project. Juthani, a senior at Hamilton Southeastern High School, directed a lip-dub video promoting Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health. The video featured students from different clubs and sports teams lip-synching various songs. As a result of being involved with the production, students learned about Riley Hospital for Children and its impact on the lives of children fighting debilitating diseases. Native Habitat tours – St. Peter's United Church of Christ, 3106 E. Carmel Dr., invites you to tour its Native Habitat and Rain Garden on the church grounds with naturalist guides this summer.

Father’s Day Commentary by Michael VandenBerg Sunday was Father’s Day, and the day was spent showing our appreciation to our dads and faith husbands for the love and care and constant support they have provided for us the past year. However, we are all, I am sure, aware of times when our dads have fallen short of perfection, but our love remains. Father’s Day and Mother’s Day are both reminders of the always-perfect love of our heavenly father. God’s love is and should be reflected in our earthly parents as we are

Your individuality is what sets you apart. Recognizing it is what sets us apart. Whether you choose the convenience of apartment living or the cottage lifestyle.

God’s love is and should be reflected in our earthly parents as we are all made in the image of God. all made in the image of God. To the extent that we see this, then it is a wonderful reminder that God’s love, so much greater than our earthly father’s love, will be constant, eternal and ever with us. To the extent that we see our earthly fathers fail, it is a reminder that we still have the love of our heavenly father who will never fail. The oft-quoted "John 3:16" tells us that God loved the world so much that he gave his only son to demonstrate his total love for us and to pay the price for our sinfulness and disobedience. "Psalm 68" tells us that God is father to the fatherless and protector of widows. His love is perfect and his care is complete. Perhaps every day should be father’s day. This would give us the opportunity to show our love for God and all of his wonderful provisions and care. If you have not spoken to your heavenly father in a while, perhaps today is the day to start again. He loves you, and he is just waiting for you to return to him so he can show you. If your father is less than perfect or perhaps even absent, know that God the father is always close at hand, will never leave or desert you and will always be ready with love that is immeasurable. Happy Father’s Day. 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.

American Legion Post 470 celebrates 70 years By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers American Legion Post 470 celebrated its 70th anniversary June 10 with a dinner and a ceremony at the anniversary post, 9091 E. 126th St. Immediate past Commander Eric Stanley said he got out of the Army in 2006 and moved to Fishers in 2007. “I was wanting to join an organization. I drove past this place for three years with the mindset, ‘I’ll stop by there one of those days,” said Stanley, who served as commander for nearly three years. “What my wife and I found was a post full of people we would soon call family. I realize the importance of continuing to grow this place.” Kyle Fisher, who was recently appointed as the post’s new commander, also spoke at the event. He gave an overview of the history of the post, named after Lowell Beaver, a Fishers resident who enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1941. Beaver was lost in action in 1945. The post was founded in 1947 with 57 charter members. It met in the basement of a bank for a few years before purchasing an

abandoned building on 116th Street. Later, an investor offered to purchase the building and swap it for the current location on 126th Street. The post opened its current location in 1991. “We are very fortunate our post has survived and is as successful as it is today,” Fisher said. “The most significant reasons are the officers and volunteers who work many hours to make it happen.” Attendees also heard from the Sons of the American Legion Commander Rob Branson, newly-elected first Vice Commander Dan Jacobs and the Ladies Auxiliary President June Clark.

Taxman Brewing Co. to open gastropub in downtown Fortville mid-July By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Only 2 1/2 years after the opening of its first gastropub in Bargersville, Taxman Brewing Co., which specializes in Belgianinspired artisanal ales, cover story will open in mid-July in downtown Fortville. For the past year, Taxman President and CEO Nathan Huelsebusch and the Taxman team have been working to restore and remodel three buildings on Fortville’s Main Street to open a second gastropub. “It’s been a bit of an evolution,” Huelsebusch said. “My wife (Leah, Taxman’s chief operating officer) and I were the original business plan writers for Taxman. I was an accountant. I did corporate taxes for Deloitte (Consulting, Indianapolis), and I worked for Cummins as a tax director for four years. We were in Brussels, Belgium, and we moved here to work at Cummins (Columbus, Ind.)” Huelsebusch’s sister, Kirby McCloy, also is a CPA and Taxman’s chief financial officer. She got involved with Taxman after leaving her job at Pricewaterhouse Coopers and Ernst & Young two years ago. Her husband, Colin, is Taxman’s vice president of brewing operations and handles the entirety of the company’s production. “That’s the Taxman theme, I guess. We’re a bunch of nerdy accountants,” McCloy said. “Our dad is a partner in the business, and he taught accounting for years.” With product names like "Evasion," "Deduction," "Exemption," and "Hops Collector," the theme is obvious. The 12,000-square-foot space was born out of a much smaller plan. The original project started with the 35 S. Main St. building, but Town of Fortville officials wanted something more family friendly than just the pub and bistro, which would have had 21-and-older seating. From there, the company purchased the connected buildings next door to its original spot. Now, the gastropub will be

housed in 29, 31 and 35 S. Main St., the oldest of which was built in 1896. The downstairs portion – comprised of a 40-foot cement bar, 21-and-older seating, family dining area and a small private event space – will have approximately 130

seats, 70 of which will be in the family dining area. The upstairs will have additional 21-and-older bar seating and a large private event space. "It’s been so interesting to open up all the walls to put them together,” McCloy said of the buildings that now reveal exposed ceiling rafters and brick walls to complete its industrial Victorian theme. Huelsebusch and McCloy said the feel of the location will be different from that of their Bargersville home. “Our Bargersville location has a little more of a pub-style feel than what we’ll have here. We’ll have more of a brasseriestyle here with various plate sizes,” McCloy said. “Everything besides ketchup is pretty much what we’ll make in-house. We’ll have our Belgian-style beers but will also have a three-way license here, so we’ll do some cocktails on-site. We’re trying to focus on local spirits to do some really craft cocktails.” “Our menu is farm-to-table, and we source almost exclusively from Indiana farms when we can,” Huelsebusch said. “We’ll also have 16 beers on tap and be able to fill growlers every day but Sunday.” To help get the gastropub in its evergrowing downtown, the Town of Fortville offered Taxman Brewing Co. a 10-year declining property tax abatement to open. “We like being in towns where they’re looking for something unique, where we can help the community grow,” McCloy said. “We’re very much a fan of towns where people say, ‘So, where is that?’ You give them a reason to come and visit to see what’s going on in an area they otherwise wouldn’t be going.” “The community here was the right fit for us,” Huelsebusch said. “It just felt right.” The Taxman Brewing Co. gastropub will be open 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and 4 to 10 p.m. for dinner, Tuesday through Sunday. As of press time, a grand opening date has been set for mid-July. For more, visit taxmanbrewing.com.

Not liking the vacation vocation

o b s e r v a tion Finding blind spots

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker In any single day, we share thousands of words. We talk them. We type them. We write them. We use these words to communicate, share ideas, and express our needs. The speaker and the listener are bound to an unwritten contract committed to mutual understanding. The speaker is responsible to form cohesive and complete thoughts, empathetic to how the message is being received and perceived. The listener, for their part, works to ensure that they are asking clarifying questions wherever an understanding gap might exist, and listening intently with a specific goal of receiving the most accurate interpretation of the sender’s message. Over these many thousands of years, we humans have figured out much of how to make this process a successful one. Good. Yet in our full and rich lives, we have developed more than a bit of shorthand, ever seeking to communicate with less overhead. On smartphones, we use emojis. With voicemail, some refuse to listen, asking instead for a text from callers. With traditional U.S. mail, many have called it too cumbersome to have much of a future. Even our own brains will fill in words from a sentence where they do not exist. In editing oneself, draft after draft will omit words. Sentences are nonsensical, but our mind fills in, deceiving us that it all makes sense. It isn’t until a new, objective reader finds the error that our own perception allows us to see the folly. If our own understanding of our own thoughts is so strong that it causes us to misperceive the specific words on paper, what else in our lives is not really there – at least as we imagine it to be? How do we find our own blind spots? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW

Letter: For awareness Editor, On June 9, my family went to see a concert. My son happens to be handicapped and uses a power wheelchair to get around. The concert was free for all to attend, general seating. We, however, took the time to get there early enough to get a good spot and to make it easy for my son to move before the crowd got too big. We had a good spot. We could see the stage clearly. After the first act, people who came later piled in around the stage, and the crowd in front of us continued to grow. The concert that my son wanted to enjoy became a view of strangers' butts. I can only assume that the people who have the luxury of being able to walk, stand and move more freely to a spot with a better view of the stage believe it is their right to block the view of those without that ability and/or who took the time to arrive early enough to get a good view. Why are the early arrivals, the elderly, the physically disabled, my son, considered less valuable? I emailed the venue about the situa-

tion and their anonymous response was, “I am sorry you had an issue with the show. Unfortunately, we cannot do much to change this since we do not have permanent seating. This particular crowd was younger than usual and that is what caused the issue that you were not used to. If you have any suggestions I would like to hear them.” The problem is we are used to it because this is what my son has to deal with on a daily basis. That does not make it OK. To purposely walk in front of someone in a wheelchair, look directly at them knowing you are completely blocking their view and then totally disregard the situation says a lot about how unempathetic and entitled these individuals feel. Please take the time to think about how what you are doing directly affects someone around you. My son could have easily just bowled people over with his wheelchair, but he’s not the type of person to do that, nor should he be put into situations where that is the only way he can get to see what others see at a free concert, at the zoo, at games.

Summer break is finally here, but for whatever reason, I am struggling to find my groove. Nothing is being humor accomplished, yet I feel like I have no free time. When I mentioned as much to my husband, Doo, he replied, “Stop complaining. You have two months of vacation!” Oh. No. He. Did-ent. And then I realized, Doo doesn’t get it. He thinks just because I’m not teaching every day that I’m sitting at home on my tush eating bonbons. That I spend my hours reading Nora Roberts and downing pina coladas. No, all I’ve done is go from being a mom who works full time to one who stays at home. And that means carpooling, cleaning and cooking, not to mention managing four teenagers who seem to think noon is an ideal time to awake. It means finally visiting the dentist and the dermatologist and the always intriguing OB/GYN because I never have time during the school year. It means calling a roofing guy to evict the little bird family that has been squatting in the wall behind my closet for three months. It means getting the Wilson six-pack whipped into shape after a long winter and spring of doing absolutely nada. It also means squashing my desire to shave someone’s eyebrows off for not validating my anxiety and inability to settle into a routine. I have to remind myself that Doo is dealing with his own issues and that to him, a summer break would be a welcome respite. Of course, if he actually understood the job requirements of a stay-at-home mom, particularly one whose children are out of school, he might think differently. Peace out.

Hanging out with ‘Oisk’ Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Last week I had the honor of presenting to Carl Erskine the Heritage Place Award, given to six senior Hoosiers humor for their lifetime service to the Indianapolis community. Carl is a retired banker from Anderson. He also previously pitched for the Brooklyn Dodgers, helping the team win the World Series in l955. Growing up in New York, I often feigned sleeping with a tiny transistor radio hidden under my pillow. I prayed for another no-hitter by Carl (he had two). If you had told that 9-year-old in l955 that Carl Erskine, affectionately known as “Oisk” among Brooklyn faithful, would one day be his golfing partner, he would have thought you were nuts. My memory of Oct. 4, 1955, is clear. Even then I knew the majesty of those hallowed words: Seventh game of the World Series. This had traditionally been a time for Dodger fans to prepare for the inevitable. The Yankees had beaten Da Bums, as they were called, in four previous Series games. I remember our tiny TV with the rabbitears antenna. The black-and-white picture

was quite fitting, because that game was clearly a battle between the forces of good and evil. I perched myself on our wooden coffee table, after pushing it right up to the television. When the Yankees threatened, I retreated to my room until the peril had passed. I still do that during Pacers and Colts games. When Yankee catcher Elston Howard flailed at the final Dodger pitch, I sprang from my perch on the coffee table and let out a scream. The Wolfsie family embraced in a group hug. The day after the awards dinner, Carl and I played golf. We talked about his son, Jimmy, who was on his way to bowl at the Special Olympics. Carl talked about his wife, Betty, of 70 years. “Golf is like marriage,” he said. “I’m not always very good at it, but I want to keep doing it for a long time.” “Still lots of time for both,” I told my 90-year-old boyhood hero. “You’re going into extra innings.”

Diet leads to franchise purchase By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In April 2016, Christian Hamm went to the doctor for his annual new biz physical. Hamm realized it was time for a change, which was to start losing weight. “Since I got married 13 years ago, I kept putting on weight,” Hamm said. “I decided I was done with that. I committed to changing my diet and giving up caffeine and giving up the morning stops for fast-food breakfast on the way to work. My son Noah was the one who told me about Smoothie King. His grandmother had taken him to one in Illinois and he just loved it. Then he told me there was one in Fishers." From there, Hamm went to a Fishers location on 96th Street and was hooked. “My wife said, ‘You go there so often, we should just buy one,’” he said. Hamm decided it was a splendid idea after further research and secured franchise rights earlier this year. He recently signed a lease for a store in The Edge

building at 116th Street and Lantern Road. Hamm said it is projected to open in late August. The 6-foot, 200-pound Fishers resident has lost 40 pounds since starting the diet. “My favorite smoothie, and the steady for my diet regimen, is the medium straw-

berry shredder with additional diet-down enhancer, multi-vitamin and fiber blend,” he said. Hamm, who turns 40 June 27, is taking a career exploration leave from teaching language arts and social studies at Riverside Intermediate School in Fishers. “I’ll be concentrating on the Smoothie King and then make a decision whether I go back to the classroom (in 2018-19),” he said. “A lot of it will come if I have that tug in my heart of going back to the classroom or I feel like what I’m providing to the community is fulfilling what I hoped it would.” Hamm has taught in Hamilton Southeastern Schools for 10 years, eight at Riverside. Prior to that, Hamm was in the business world and transitioned into teaching through Anderson University. Before securing the franchise rights, Hamm went to New Orleans to learn more about Smoothie King. “They are trying to inspire people to live a healthy and active lifestyle, which is the same thing I set out for myself to do,” Hamm said. Hamm and his wife Jennifer, a pharmacist, also have a daughter, Emily.

Local Marsh stores sold to Kroger subsidiary — Several Marsh Supermarkets stores will soon be under new ownership after a bidding process took place June 12. This comes after Marsh’s filing of a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection May 11. On June 12, a motion was filed by Marsh in the state of Delaware seeking approval for two bidders to purchase 16 Marsh stores at costs of $16 million and $8 million, respectively. Topvalco, Inc., a subsidiary of Kroger, will assume contracts for the leases of 11 Marsh stores, including the two Zionsville Marsh stores, at 10679 N. Michigan Rd. and 5 Boone Village, and the Fishers Marsh store, at 12520 E. 116th St. The second successful bidder was Generative Growth II, LLC, which will assume leasing contracts for 15 stores in Ohio and Indiana. Two Carmel stores are closing at 4755 E. 126th St. and 2140 E. 116th St. HCLA applications — The Hamilton County Leadership Academy is accepting applications for the 2017-18 class. HCLA is a leadership program that identifies and prepares informed leaders for our community. The program is open to Hamilton County residents or those with business or civic activities within the community. Applications are due June 30. The application may be found online at HCLA.net/application.

Besore brings several years of administrative experience in the nonprofit sector, having served at Brooke’s Place as a grief facilitator and WEDO Charity Auctions Besore as a Regional Account Manager and Event Producer. Credit card scam — Criminals already have their hands on millions of credit card numbers they can’t use because they need the security code on the back of your card. So they call pretending to be from the issuer. They claim there is suspicious activity on your card and tell you the account number. Then they ask you to verify the security code. It sounds legit because they already know your number. Don’t fall for this scam. Instead, hang up and call the 800 number on your card to see if it was a legitimate call.

Time for men to step up Commentary by Elisabeth Prosser, M.D. Men often take responsibility to protect and provide for their loved ones. Unfortunately, many men fail prevention to protect themselves when it comes to their own health. Such an approach could lead to devastating health conditions, many of which can be prevented if caught early. As we are in the midst of Men’s Health Month, here are important considerations: What are some of the biggest misconceptions men have about their health? Something needs to be wrong to seek a visit to the doctor. Preventative care is a key to living a healthy and full life. Some men believe they don’t have time to see the doctor. Many doctors’ offices are now offering extended hours and some even provide telemedicine for appointments. What preventative screenings should men have and how often? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the following: • Colon cancer – If you are 50 to 75 years old, get tested. The schedule depends on the type of test used: colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy or fecal

occult blood testing. • Lung cancer – If you are 55 to 80 years old and are a heavy smoker or a past smoker who quit within the last 15 years, get a low-dose CT scan every year. • Prostate cancer – Talk to your doctor about whether you need a digital rectal exam and a prostate-specific antigen test. • Skin cancer – Talk to your doctor to see if he or she would recommend routine screenings and periodic totalbody examinations. • Abdominal aortic aneurysm – This is a recommended, one-time screening by ultrasound for men ages 65 to 75 years old who have ever smoked. • Hepatitis C – Men born between 1945 and 1965 (between the ages of 52 to 72 years old) should be screened.

Stem cell treatment is not as new as one might think. Actually, the existence of stem cells was hypothesized over science 100 years ago, and scientists and researchers have been actively studying them for more than 30 years. The initial method of harvesting stem cells from human embryos was objectionable for a number of reasons, including the fact that these cells proved more likely to induce cancers, but the science has come a long way since then. Researchers soon looked for other sources of young and healthy stem cells and found that umbilical cord-derived stem cells do not have these cancer-inducing properties. Approximately two years ago, the use of umbilical-cord-blood stem cells was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for clinical application in humans. These cells are thoroughly tested and certified against genetic and infectious diseases. It has been found that umbilical cord stem cells are immune-neutral, that they do not cause rejection after transfusion. In fact, they actually help curb

immune rejection when used on patients following organ transplants. Stem cells heal injured tissue, repair joints and ligaments and halt development of scar tissue. When sourced from adults, they offer similar results to umbilical cord stem cells, but these adult stem cells are less numerous and less potent. Stem cells work in many ways. It is widely known that they can build any tissue that needs to be repaired. It is less known that stem cells may revitalize diseased cells around them by donating their inner parts, including mitochondria – the energy organs within the cells. The new mitochondria provide energy and vitality. This allows fractured bones to heal faster, plantar fasciitis pain to go away, torn muscles and ligaments to be restored and joints to be repaired, delaying or altogether avoiding a need for surgery.

Q&A with a tenderloin master chef editorial@youarecurrent.com

Breaded tenderloin from Sahm’s Restaurant and Bar in Fishers. (Submitted photo)

Tenderloin Tuesdays set to begin June 27

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Indiana is famous for its pork tenderloins. Hamilton County decided to emphasize that fame with Tenderloin food Tuesdays. “Tenderloin Tuesdays started eight years ago when local restaurants indicated Tuesdays in July as their slow period,” said Whitney Riggs, communications coordinator from Hamilton County Tourism. “The tenderloin was not only something the restaurants had in common, but something that is unique to our state. There’s always a great debate on social media about who has the best tenderloin in Hamilton County. People are very passionate about it.” From June 27 to July 25, restaurants are offering discounts on their tenderloins. Riggs said it is typically $1 to $2 off while some offer buy one, get second one for 50 percent off. Others offer free dessert or beverage with a tenderloin purchase. Riggs said Hamilton County Tourism has formed a partnership with Vardagan, a Fishers T-shirt store, to create a custom-designed shirt for restaurants to buy, sell or use during the promotion. HCT is partnering with Q95 (WFBQ radio station) for a second time and will host a

lunch on-site at Dooley O’Toole’s in Carmel July 11. Dooley’s and HCT will give away 95 tenderloin sandwiches. It is limited to the first 95 people with one voucher per guest, Riggs said. The Tenderloin Trail includes almost double the amount of restaurants as Tenderloin Tuesdays. However, not all the restaurants on the Trail offer deals and participate in the Tuesday discounts.

Where to get a tenderloin Carmel: Divvy, Dooley O’Toole’s, Upland Brewing Company/The Carmel Tap House, Woody’s Library Restaurant, The Pint Room, Muldoon’s and Stacked Pickle, both Carmel locations. Fishers: Nickel Plate Bar & Grill, C.R. Heroes Family Pub, Four Day Ray Brewing, Pinheads, Sahm’s Restaurant and Bar, Stacked Pickle. Noblesville: Barley’s Island Brewing Company, Caplinger’s Fresh Catch North, Courtney’s Kitchen, Rosie’s Place, Copper Still Kitchen and Bar, Ginger’s Café and The Hamilton Restaurant Westfield: Erika’s Place, Stacked Pickle. Cicero: Erika’s Place. Atlanta: Combine Café For more, visit TenderloinTrail.com.

Upland Carmel Executive Chef Scott Dougherty of Carmel is one of those that will be making food tenderloins this summer. How long have you worked at Upland Carmel? I have worked for Upland Brewing Company Dougherty for seven years. I moved up to Carmel from Bloomington to help open the Upland Carmel Tap House four years ago. What sets your tenderloin apart from the rest? Our tenderloin is butchered and pounded from whole pork loins in-house. We then hand-bread them with Japanese bread crumbs. Which Upland beer pairs well with your tenderloin? I would recommend our lighter beers, Campside or Champagne Velvet. Our Dragonfly IPA would also be good if you like your beer on the hoppy side. What toppings do you put on your tenderloin? We keep it simple with lettuce, tomato and red onions, and then provide an array of condiments at the table. What discount is Upland offering for Ten-

The tenderloin sandwich at Upland in Carmel is just one of 25 tenderloins diners can try over the next few weeks. (Submitted photo)

derloin Tuesdays? Our tenderloin is normally $10 and we will be offering it for $7 on Tenderloin Tuesdays. What other restaurants in Hamilton County have a tasty tenderloin, and what makes it so good? Syd’s in Noblesville has a really good tenderloin. It’s beer-battered and delicious. Why do you think tenderloins are an Indiana staple? We raise a lot of pigs in this state. It’s one of our biggest exports.

Blueprint for Improvement: Base-level master bath turned custom Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions: The goal was to design a customized master bath with a larger shower and added storage. 1. The larger shower footprint was accomplished by removing the large tub. The existing window was replaced with a frosted, vinyl fixed window to allow daylight in while keeping the shower private from the exterior of the home. 2. The shower included dual showerheads, a recessed niche in the half wall to store products, and a sliced pebble accent tile for the shower floor. 3. The vanity was replaced with wood-grain cabinets that maximized storage with tower cabinets. Additional storage was created with built-in utility cabinets where the old shower used to be. 4. The natural-looking materials and additional lighting make the bathroom visually inviting to the couple. Now they have a fully functional bathroom when their kids’ bath is remodeled in the future!

Before Background Info: This base-level master bathroom in Carmel’s Avian Glen neighborhood was in need of many design updates. The owners wanted to customize it to their functional needs using quality cost-effective materials.

The existing layout was not functioning well for the owners. The large, unused tub existed as a glorified dust-collector, and there was a lack of storage.
