Couple opens new pharmacy in Fortville By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com On June 1, Eric and Amanda Garst opened Garst RX in Fortville. Garst is committed business to bringing back patient care as the number one focus to make his business a better choice for patients vs. a large chain pharmacy. “The biggest thing with us is that we’re independently owned. My wife and I own the pharmacy so it’s not owned by a national chain and it’s not a franchise. With that it makes a big difference in that you have more of an opportunity to go above and beyond for your patients,” said Garst. Garst RX not only fills prescriptions and sells over-the-counter medications, but they also offer a few extras for their patients. “We have a drive through which is new for Fortville. We’ll also offer free delivery to our elderly patients who can’t get out of the house. As well as pill box management. It’s good to hand it over to the experts since that’s what we do every day,” said Garst. Garst knows some patients will worry his pharmacy will be more expensive but says his prices for insurance patients are exactly the same as other stores. He’s also discovered his cash patients (those without insurance) save about 50 percent on their medications. Garst will also offer assistance to his Medicare patients to navigate the often difficult to understand system. “During open enrollment I’ll actually sit down with all my Medicare patients and help them pick a plan. That’s free of charge. I’ll talk to them about what plan is best for them – not only for which one cost less but which one covers the medications they’re taking because there are some plans that don’t cover your medication,” Garst said. Garst grew up in Fortville so it was an easy choice to start his business there. “I grew up in Fortville and went to high school here. Growing up in a community you tend to fall in love with it so you want to do what is best for the

Dream Home brings in $50K

By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com The Dyslexia Institute of Indiana recently raised $50,000 during fundraiser the Indianapolis Monthly Dream Home tour. The tours ran from May 9 to May 24. The cost to attend was $25 per person. There were also two VIP events before the home opened. For years the DII has been the beneficiary of the Indianapolis Monthly Dream Home. “Emmis Communications is extremely charitable and from what I’ve seen every chance they have to tie in a charity or not-for-profit partner they do a great job,” said Kaitlin Ferries, director of communications for DII. The funding raised from the 16 day tour largely goes to providing DII’s clients with an opportunity to attend summer camp. “The dream home fundraising will go to our

summer enrichment program. It’s academically focused in the morning and then in the afternoon they go swimming, learn to juggle and listen to guest speakers. The summer enrichment program requires quite a bit of scholarship and support to pull off for our students,” Ferries said. Students go through an intensive training to help fulfill their potential. “We use a therapy called Orton Gillingham approach. This helps individuals with dyslexia bring their coding skills up to match their intelligence. Our mission is that we believe entitled to fulfill their potential through the therapy approach.” Ferries said. After attending Camp Delafield students how show an increase in their core language skills. For more information on DII visit diin.org.

If you were asked, “What is the key to a happy marriage,” what relationships would your answer be? Some may say that commitment is the key (and essential). Others may say laughter, realistic expectations, sacrifice or even romance. As you think about your own marriage or relationship, what would you say has been the one or two components that have kept you together? Without a doubt, all of items listed above are important within a marriage, but what is the key to making marriage last? In 1 Corinthians, Paul writes the well-known passage about the characteristics of love. I do not doubt the love between a husband and wife, but it takes an additional effort to determine how they love one another and how they experience that love. The unconditional love we possess for a spouse is far more than sacrifice or positive compliments; it is not contingent upon a mutual agreement of “I’ll scratch your back if…” Both husband and wife must adopt this attitude: “I will continue to be what I who I need to

be, regardless if you are who you need to be.” This type of relationship can be called a covenant relationship. The alternative, a consumer relationship. This attitude is essential for a husband and wife in their marriage – just as a mother and father with their child. For some, this comes more naturally. For all, it requires mindfulness, intentional communication, understanding boundaries, finding strengths, among so many others, but most of all … it requires unconditional love and a constant replenishment of that love. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians, “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends…” I believe everybody deserves a happy and truly satisfying marriage. I also believes it takes a tremendous effort to love one another – for better or for worse, love never fails. Product I recommend: “The Meaning of Marriage” by Timothy Keller with Kathy Keller.

Fishers introduces new deputy mayor Leah McGrath

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com

The young city of Fishers is on a consistent path of growth, and is now expanding its central staff. government Beginning in July, the City of Fishers will welcome Leah McGrath as the new Fishers deputy mayor. A resident of Fishers, McGrath is a veteran communications and public policy specialist. She spent the last four of five years with the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns, serving as a public policy liaison and advocate for municipal issue. Her 15-year career has included stints in public relations and marketing research, in addition to her municipal work. “Anytime someone with Leah’s proven track record joins the team, it brings a wealth of opportunities,” Fadness said. “I look forward to her leadership and collaboration as we move the City of Fishers forward.” McGrath first came to know Fadness through her work with the IACT before Fadness surprised her with the offer to join their team as deputy mayor. “I was actually working with (Fadness) this past year on a couple of legislative proposals at the state house,” McGrath said. “He called one day and said, “Hey, would you be able to

in July. “One of the first items is the comprehensive plan. We have a chance to be really proactive in our planning in not just what we want the street scape to look like, but how do we meet the needs of more people coming in. That plan is like a road map so I’m really excited to be a part of that.” One goal that McGrath hopes to see fulfilled is improving the walkability of the city. “I live in an area of Fishers where we can hop on our bikes, and ride our bikes to a park and grab lunch and have ice cream, and I think that kind of walkability or connectivity is important to a community especially in this day and age,” McGrath said. “I hope we can continue that kind of walkability in the downtown area here in Fishers.”

have coffee this week? I have an idea.” And so I thought it was on one of the legislative proposals I was working on. I don’t think I could have been more shocked by his idea.” After pondering over the new opportunity presented to her, McGrath felt the position offered her an excellent opportunity to serve her community. “What it came down to for me was I love

public policy, I love my community and the opportunity for me to serve where I live, where my kids go to school, where we go to church, kind of where our life happens, was sort of amazing, awesome and exciting.” Since accepting her new position as deputy mayor, McGrath has been learning every aspect of the city and its internal operations in preparation for officially taking on the new role

The story is told of a rancher who went into the local general store during religion the early 1800's and asked the store keeper if he could have all of the items he was purchasing on an account. The storekeeper said, "So what you are wanting is credit?" "Yes,” the rancher replied. To this the storekeeper asked him one simple question which determined his credit worthiness. He asked the rancher if he was putting up any new fences. When the rancher said he was, the storekeeper asked him if he was fencing in or fencing out. "Why fencing out", the rancher replied. He had just added 360 acres to his ranch. The storekeeper immediately gave him the credit he sought. An observer asked the storekeeper about this unusual method of determining credit worthiness. We've got two kinds of ranchers and farmers here - those who fence in because they are afraid of not making it next year, of wasting too much seed, or of what the weather might bring. They are the ones who pull up their fences and move them in just to make sure. CD:

Pe r s o n a l T r us t s a n d E s t at e s

Commentary by Rev. Michael VandenBerg

Then there are those who fence out - are confident in their future, and want to add a little more land to their farms and ranches. These are the ones who have hope, and I give credit to anyone who has hope. Jesus told his disciples that life was more than what they ate, or more than even their physical life. He told them that God would provide for their every need and therefore if they would trust Him, they would not have to be anxious about anything. They would be people of hope, ones who when it came to life, were fencing out and not pulling back and fencing in. Do you trust God to take care of you or are you anxious about life? If you trust God, then you will be able to break your reliance on always wanting more and never feeling as though you have enough. Your trust will be in God and not on the things you own. 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

Sun King opens Fishers taproom By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com While Sun King Brewing Co.’s enormous Fishers brewery has been delayed until 2018, the city will be getting a taste of beer what the beer makers have to offer thanks to their newly opened Sun King Taproom and small batch brewery. “We want people to come in and have an opportunity to try our various, different beers and get a little bit more of a sense of what Sun King is all about so that it’s not just another beer on the shelf,” said Clay Robinson, Sun King co-founder. On July 1, the Indianapolis based brewery opened their newest edition of their brand at 7848 E. 96th St. Using this new location, the brewery looks to expand its reaches to it’s fans in the Hamilton County area who may have not experienced their main facility in downtown Indianapolis. “When we initially decided to come to Fishers we chose the area because we wanted to have access to a large number of people who live in the area and might enjoy craft beer,” Robinson said. “Of our retail accounts, Hamilton County is our number two sales market.” While the taproom serves as a closer approach for Hamilton County residents to access Sun King beer fresh from the tap, it also allows the brewery to expand its beer crafting capabilities in its small batch brewery on-site. “This system is about 10 percent the size of downtown, which will allow us to have a dedicated system and that will allow us to design new and interesting beers, work with more

local ingredients, play around and do styles of beers that we’ve been unable to do in the past and continue our creativity,” said Robinson. “So we can do a small batch, decide whether we like it or not; we can make some tweaks and then scale it up a little bit more and if we like it and it sells well, then we can do it on our larger system.” said Robinson. The 6400-square-foot taproom features multiple taps, three brewing tanks, picnic table and bar style seating, multiple televisions and a private room that eventually can be reserved for larger groups. “We’ve got a private room that holds up to 60 people,” said Robinson. “We can do community events with some of our various community partners, fundraisers, things like that.” The taproom will also feature menus from nearby restaurants that guests can order to the taproom. “We’ve got menus from Sahm’s and Tijuana Flats,” said Robinson. “We’ll have a list of restaurants that are nearby that are willing to deliver food in.”

Award given to FFD and EMS By Joseph Knoop • news@geistcurrent.com Fishers Fire Dept. and Emergency Services has been awarded statewide recognition by the American Heart Association with safety an award for implementing quality measures that improve the treatment provided to patients suffering heart attacks, as well as exemplary response time. The American Heart AsDavison sociation’s Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Award indicates that Fishers Fire and Emergency Services has demonstrated at least 75 percent compliance for standards set by the AHA for at least two years, with a minimum of eight ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction patients treated per year. Fishers Fire and Emergency Services was the only depart-

ment in the state of Indiana to receive the Gold Award. Every year, more than 250,000 people experience a STEMI, a type of heart attack caused by a complete blockage of blood to the heart that requires immediate attention. “Our standard response time from dispatch to cath lab is under 62 minutes. National average is 90 minutes and that’s the gold standard,” Davison said. Chief Davison also believes that other factors, such as staffing and location, contributed greatly to earning the AHA’s Gold Award. “Several factors are involved, one being our ambulances and fire engines,” Davison said. “We have paramedics on all of our ambulances and most of our fire engines, as well as the fact that we’re close to two cardiac hospitals.” For more information, visit heart.org/ missionlifeline.

rs a c ic s s la c f o e v lo , fe li Geist resident shares By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ken Gardner describes himself as an “American Graffiti” type of kid. Gardner, 65, is referring to the 1973 movie about coming of age in 1962. “I’m kind of lost in the ‘50s and ‘60s,” said Gardner, who grew up in Bedford, Pa. “I grew up then and we all look back at our youth and things that we loved.” cover story So Gardner, who has lived in the Geist area for about 15 years, collects items that reminds him of that time, a juke box full of ’50s and ‘60s hits, an erector set, an old-time gasoline pump and four vintage cars, a 1934 Coupe Hot Rod, a 1937 Ford Club Cabriolet, a 1966 Corvette and 1957 Thunderbird, and two motorcycles. Gardner plans to complete a Bucket List type feat by racing his Birmingham Small Arms Gardner motorcycle in a stock class at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah next year. Gardner, who has worked for Indianapolis Motor Speedway for 18 years, is in charge for finding work for IMS five TV trucks when they are not needed for Indy Car. “We do the Colts preseason games, the Pacers at home,” Gardner said. “We have a truck in L.A. that does the Lakers. We do professional bull riding and the Mecum Auto Auctions.” Gardner, who got his first class Federal Communication Commission license to work on TV transmitters from DeVry University, has been involved in the technical side of TV broadcasting for his entire career, working for WLFI in Lafayette for several years. “In my career, I’ve done every major sporting event there is

in the United States at least once,” Gardner said. “I’ve done everything from the Masters to the Final Four to the Super Bowl. At this point, my real focus is in the automobile stuff and I enjoy that.” Gardner said his claim to fame is he was the one who told the camera operator to focus on Indiana University basketball coach Bob Knight during his chair throwing against Purdue in 1985. “I said follow Bobby because he’s upset about something,” Gardner said. “We went to commercial break and I was the only guy that kept recording.” Holding a charity car show Gardner is serving as event coordinator for Cars for Kids on July 11 at Geist Chapel Church’s parking lot at 12549 Old Stone Dr. Gardner and his wife are church members. The car show proceeds will go to the youth ministry and the Life Centers of Indiana. It costs $15 for car registration. The public can come in to see the cars for free. There will be music from the ‘50s through the ‘70s and food vendors. Gardner and his wife are passionate pro-life supporters. “What the Life Centers do is try to give the girls alternatives

to abortion, whether it’s to raise the kid or put the kid up for adoption,” said Gardner, who has four children and three grandchildren. “It’s important for me from that standpoint.” Registration is from 10 a.m. to noon. Judging will take place at 3 p.m., with awards at 4 p.m. This is the first car show Gardner has run in Indianapolis. However, Gardner used to help ran car shows for Muscular Dystrophy for several years when he lived in Lafayette 20-plus years ago. “Then we used to have proms for the adults, which was a neat thing because it raised a lot of money,” he said. “The Holiday Inn would give us the ballroom for free and we charge $50 a couple. I bought a juke box we gave away. Every year we would raise between $11,000 and $17,000. I did that in conjunction with the (former Lafayette) police chief Gene Reed.”

Meet Ken Gardner Personal: Married Melissa Miles, his second wife, 18 years ago in Branson, Mo. Melissa, a former singer on cruise ships and in Branson, Mo., sings for a Gospel trio called Redeem the Time. Has four children, Katie, Nathan, Erin and Sarah, from his first marriage and three grandchildren. Played basketball for the late Royce Waltman at Bedford High School. Waltman later served as Indiana State head coach and IU assistant. Favorite childhood memory: “We won a race and qualified for Langhorne (Pa.) Speedway, the big East Coast modified race. So when I was 14 or 15, I took a bus to go to Langhorne to watch (Bedford race car driver) Boyd Arnold race. I grew up a half-mile from a dirt (race) track.” Gardner had helped on Arnold’s car. Favorite musicians: “Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and Sam and Dave. I like soul music a lot. Really wasn’t caught up in Iron Butterfly and that kind of stuff.” Favorite TV show: “Gunsmoke.” Favorite movie: “American Graffiti.” Naturally.

What to say: ‘Burned’ or ‘burnt?’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Hi Jordan! Recently a friend of mine corrected me – or attempted to – saying I should have used grammar guy ‘burned’ instead of ‘burnt.’ The sentence was something like, ‘The chicken was good, but a little burnt.’ Which one is the right way to go?” Answer: It seems like we’ve had a lot of these transatlantic dilemmas popping up lately. Maybe there’s a favorable wind over the Atlantic? You may have guessed already, but what we have here is a style split between British and American English. Both “burned” and “burnt” are perfectly acceptable as the past and past participle forms of “burn,” and also as the adjectival form. Which one you choose is likely to depend on where you’re from.

In North America, you’re far more likely to hear people use “burned” as the past tense of “burn,” while “burnt” is often reserved for adjectival uses (ex. burnt sienna, burnt toast, etc.). Our friends the Brits, on the other hand, are more likely to use “burnt” as the past tense of “burn.” I don’t have hard numbers on how often you’ll hear them say “burned,” but I’m going to go out on a limb and say less. At any rate, while either “burned” or “burnt” would be acceptable in your example sentence, “burnt” is probable the more standard American English choice. As always, thanks for writing in. Please keep sending in those grammar questions! Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@ gmail.com.

FR O M   T HE BA C K SH O P Now playing: Meet Mr. Obvious It’s extremely telling, in our view, when the man formerly known as The Worst President in United States History takes a swipe at the man that now has solidified himself as the most inept. Yes, former President Jimmy Carter sallied forth last week to tell Walter Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute, that, in his opinion, President Barack Obama has failed on the world stage? “On the world stage, I think (Obama’s successes have) been minimal,” Carter said. “I think he’s done some good things domestically like the health program and so forth, but on the world stage, just to be as objective about it as I can, I can’t think of many nations in the world where we have a better relationship now than we did when he took over. … If you look at Russia, if you look at England, if you look at China, if you look at Egypt and so forth – I’m not saying it’s his fault – but we have not improved our relationship with individual countries, and I would say that the United States’ influence and prestige and respect in the world is probably lower now than it was six or seven years ago.” Gee, really? Don’t be concerned that Carter has regained his footing, though, because he also said Secretary of State John Kerry is one of the best ever in that post. “I think John Kerry has been a very courageous and innovative and dynamic secretary of state,” Carter said. And we think the Easter Bunny is a swell dude, too. ••• The Fourth of July has been celebrated in grand fashion, and as we have reminded you previously, a huge round of applause needs to go out to all the volunteers.

An apple a day

Commentary by Terry Anker

We tend to be a people of grand flourishes. We build to the big game – and it is over in a shot. We talk politics and spend billions – then discard the candidates like yesterday’s fish. We celebrate life’s milestones with pomp and circumstance – all the while ignoring the beauty of the commonplace and every day. To be sure, some events warrant special attention. One might look at the sky a million times and only see an eclipse once in a lifetime. But is the sky more beautiful during this rare celestial phenomena or more so on a typical, even ordinary, sunny morning? Do we order our lives too much for the exception and therein fail to recognize the wonder that surrounds us in the conventional and routine? As my body continues to remind me of its advancing years, websites dedicated to lasting and preserving good health have become more a part of the internet surfing routine. The advice found ranges from the inordinately complex to the sublimely sim-

ply. There is an abundant array of potions, treatments, books and brews designed to improve our lives; and, I suspect, lighten our wallets. While many of these add benefits, my suspicious and thrifty nature prevents a full embrace. At the spectrum’s other extreme, comes the relaxed almost folksy direction to simply eat no more than one’s body (per age, gender, and activity) can reasonably be expected to digest. Could it all be this easy? The old English proverb dictates, “Ait a happle avore gwain to bed, An’ you’ll make the doctor beg his bread.” Wouldn’t it be glorious if true? Eat an apple a day, and keep the doctor away! Really? I even like apples. Is it in the routine, consistent acts of caring for ourselves that we will find longest heath?

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our topic for discussion this morning, class: “Does competitive dance make a tween-age girl crazy or are crazy girls the only ones drawn to competitive humor dance?” Either way, as I sit in the lobby of a Midwest casino with my 11-year-old daughter recapping her first day at national competition, it occurs to me we may have a problem. Our youngest is a borderline brat! She’s always had a flair for the dramatic – she’s the baby of the family after all – but I do feel like the “all-about-me” attitude has increased. I just can’t tell how much is related to the scary-catty-emotional phase common to preteens and how much is because of the scary-catty-emotional world of dance. Her older sister was nothing like this. She’s as even-keeled as they come, hormones and flighty friends be damned. She seriously could care less if others like her and was rarely sucked into the ever-changing popularity maze of middle school. But she wasn’t a dancer either. Her “thang” was rec volleyball where the only accessories were knee pads. She won or lost based on how many points her teamed scored, not on how cute she was or how much money we spent. That’s the reality of dance. The more cash you can commit, the more your dancer can do, and consequently, the better she’ll be. We allowed our daughter one solo and three group numbers this year because it’s so expensive. She understands and respects this restriction, but knowing the why doesn’t help curb her jealously or bitterness when she sees her friends up on stage for six, eight or even 10 numbers. And let’s not forget the inherent drama when 40 girls in false eyelashes and sequin booty shorts have to sometimes compete against each other. It’s so over the top I feel like I’m a supporting cast member in the Real Dance Girls of Indianapolis. [Bravo, please contact me! This show would be fantastic!) So is my daughter’s diva attitude because she’s 11 or because she’s a dancer? I suppose only time will tell. Until then, wish me luck! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Who’s on first?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

“Time” magazine once named “Who’s on First?” the greatest comedy sketch of the 20th century. I first heard it humor performed on the “Abbott and Costello” TV show when I was about eight, and I remember thinking: Wow, baseball AND funny. What could be better? My love of “Who’s on first” was revitalized in 1972 when two of my high school students aspired to do stand-up comedy and I convinced them to hone their delivery skills by mastering this iconic skit. Months later, the comedy duo of Pete and Brian made a latenight appearance at one of the premier comedy clubs in New York. Several weeks ago, I learned that Peter, had made a name for himself as a character actor in movies and doing voiceovers. He was coming to Indy to be a guest celebrity at the recent PopCon event. I invited my former student to be on my TV segment. At dinner, we reminisced about mutual love of the comic duo, and I suggested we try to do the routine on TV the next day. “Absolutely,” Pete said. “When can we rehearse?” “How about now?”

Our struggle to master the routine was a reminder of how brilliant Bud and Lou were in their timing. Lou was the frustrated little boy, and Bud was restrained and patient, setting himself apart from his partner, the essence of most great comedy teams. The routine differed slightly each time, because the script was conceptualized, not memorized. Any variation, intentional or not, could be adjusted by either partner. “Tell me the guy’s name on first” “Who.” “The guy on first.” “Who!” “What’s the guy’s name on first?” “What’s on second!” Last week on WISH-TV, Peter Spellos and I did a brief version of “Who’s on First” during my morning segment. Were we any good? I don’t know. “I don’t know!” Oh, that’s our third baseman. (For a full version of this column go to currentinwestfield.com)

Sip, see and enjoy this year’s Art of Wine By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com

On July 18 IU Health North Hospital will host the 7th annual Art of Wine event in the Carmel Arts & Design District from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. The event features art from local region artists along with wine from local wineries. “We feature the art of local artists who are affiliated with the galleries in the Arts & Design District. We have them create a work of art from an oversize wine bottle. Those are on display in the galleries and special locations through the district,” said Vanessa Stiles, president and CEO of Victory Sun Inc. Some of the works are wine-inspired and some are the works sold by local galleries. Many of the boutiques and galleries located in the Arts & Design District will be open and hosting special sales or promotions. Tickets to participate in the unlimited wine tasting are $15 (cash only). Guests will be given a special commorative tasting glass emblazoned with IU Health’s logo. Guests can take the glass to each booth where wineries will offer several different wines to sample. Wine by the glass or bottle will also be available. Some of the wineries participating include Blackhawk Winery & Vineyard, Huber’s Orchard, Winery and Vineyards & Peace Water Winery. The event isn’t just about art and wine. It’s also a familyfriendly event. There is no cost to walk through the event and enjoy the entertainment. “We see lots of families come out and enjoy dinner. The galleries are open. We have a caricature artist. We have another smaller act that is a lot of fun called Oferle appearing in Sophia

Square Courtyard so there are lots of family friendly activities as well as the wine event that night,” said Stiles. There will be a headlining band, Judah and the Lion, who have appeared on ‘The Tonight Show with David Letterman.’ “Last year the music was one of the reasons I wanted to go. The band they had playing there for free was a band I wanted to see and I would have paid to see,” said Amy Bennett, account executive for WTTS. Not only will the restaurants located in the area be open for guests to grab dinner some will even have grab and go options. Bub’s Burgers, Mudbugs Cajun Café and Joe’s Butcher Shop will all have stations set up throughout the event. The event will take place in the streets of the Carmel Arts & Design District so a portion of roads in the area will be closed beginning at 10:30 a.m. that day. Closures will occur at the following locations. • 1st Ave N.E./S.E. and E. Main Street (by Woody’s Library Restaurant) • 1st Street S.E./S.W. and S. Range Line Road (by Integrity Automotive) • 1st Street N.E./N.W. and N. Range Line Road (by Tina’s Traditional Old English Kitchen) • 4th Ave. SW & W. Main Street (by the roundabout) Guests are encouraged to walk or bike to the event via the Monon Trail. For those who choose to drive a shuttle will be available from Carmel High School beginning at 5 p.m. “I know last year my dad went and he doesn’t live in Carmel either. He said he left with a little bit of Carmel envy because it’s such a cute area,” said Bennett. For more information visit carmelartsanddesign.com.

Residents bemoaning the utter lack of nearby oceans in the oncoming summer will have their fix with the 2015 FlowRider surfing competisummer fun tion held in The Waterpark at the Monon Community Center beginning at 9:30 a.m. on July 25. “You typically see surfing along the coasts, so being able to have a competition in Indiana is matchless,” said MCC marketing director Linsay Labas. “Being on the national circuit this year provides a unique opportunity for us.” MCC has been working with local hotels for room blocks and will even designate a camping area within Central Park for visiting boarders. Whether you struggle to stand on a board or ride the waves like a champ, all skill levels will be accommodated. Cash prizes will go to top performers in the pro division, with other goodies reserved for those at the amateur level. “I think the most exciting part about the event is the chance to see some top flowboarders who compete throughout the country,” Labas said. “It also provides the local public a chance to watch their friends and family members compete in a sport they have been practicing either for years or just this year throughout our Waterpark seasons.” The national circuit itself is also seeing some changes this year with the addition of an adaptive division in Stand Up and Body-board contests exclusive to individuals with disabilities. With boarding company Carbon acting as a sponsor and offering prizes to participants, just about everyone will have the chance to show off their skills. “We are excited to see local participants who can show off all the skills they’ve been learning with us,” Labas said. “Attendees should be ready for a fun day of surfing and spectating.” Participants can register at carmelclayparks.com, with registration fees ranging from $35 for the amateur division to $50 for pro. Spectators are also welcomed with full access to the park at $10 for the day.

3-D mammograms promote early detection Commentary by Kandice Ludwig, MD, Mammograms are even more valuable in detecting early breast cancer thanks to the latest advancement in digital women mammography – 3-D breast tomosynthesis. Unlike traditional two-dimensional mammograms, 3-D tomosynthesis acquires multiple, low-dose images of the breast at different angles. A computer program then consolidates the images to produce a series of “slices” that can be viewed as a 3-D construction of the breast. While the patient’s experience with 3-D tomosynthesis is similar in terms of length of testing, amount of radiation and comfort, this latest technology offers significant advantages: More images mean better detection. With additional imagery and tomosynthesis’ 3-D modeling feature, radiologists are able to identify even small breast lesions in very early stages. Early detection of breast cancer dramatically improves outcomes, increases survival rates and also offers women more – and

often less toxic – treatment options. Due to the increased clarity and availability of more views, three-dimensional imaging is particularly beneficial for detecting suspicious lesions in women (often younger) with dense breast tissue. 3-D imagery improves accuracy, reduces “call backs.” The limits of two-dimensional mammography – primarily the inability to see fine characteristics and to clearly distinguish between possible lesions and overlapping tissue – frequently result in a need to call women back for further imaging or other tests, such as ultrasound or biopsy. Sharp digital 3-D images make it easier for radiologists to clarify an issue without a return visit. This reduces stress for women and avoids costs associated with additional tests.

Coasters, equity markets and the greater economy Commentary by Joe Clark Summer is here, theme parks are open and roller coaster lines are long. finance The millions spent to construct a single coaster attest to thrill seekers’ appetite for adventure. “Wild rides” on a coaster are fun, but most investors prefer a steadier course when it comes to retirement planning. In the spirit of summer, let’s look at parallels and distinctions between theme parks, equity markets and the greater economy. Dollars spent by theme park visitors are what we call “discretionary dollars” – money consumers choose to spend. In contrast, “staples” are purchases consumers must buy – like housing. Housing is a “staple” tightly linked to employment numbers and the economy. We watch employment numbers to know when household income should be increasing and we track where household money is being spent. Housing sales are the strongest they’ve been in five years - great news for homeowners, builders and furniture stores. Of course, as consumers spend money on their homes, the money they spend on discretionary purchases in the economy – like theme parks– may be redirected. Assessing the economy through a single filter is difficult. Overlooking a dollar here or there can lead to serious economic revisions. The equity markets often move when new eco-

nomic data is released, yet oddly enough, markets frequently ignore subsequent revisions. Investors should look broadly at the economy to identify sectors where consumer dollars are being invested and the areas that are shrinking. Remember, equity markets differ from the economy in certain ways. The economy cares about the larger view of the broad economy and measures it against all goods and services produced. In contrast, equity markets tend to care about trajectory and rate of change. The next election season is already highlighting trade deals, immigration and issues that may change the way our economy expands in the future. Investors must consider how certain issues will help or hinder their returns. If housing performs well, but theme park attendance withers, amusement park earnings may plummet while the overall economy remains strong. In such a scenario, roller coaster company shareholders would not be happy, even in a rosy economic environment.

Bedroom, porch addition improves lifestyle

Commentary by Larry Greene

REASON TO REMODEL: After living in their 1960’s home on the south side of Indianapolis for 23 years, the Blueprint for homeowners were improvement desperate for more functional space for themselves and their live-in aging parent. “To make things easier on my father, we gave him full access to the only hall bathroom. As a result, we were forced to use the bathroom on the other side of the house. Our bedroom was cramped and the closet was too small. We also needed more space to entertain. With limited space, we decided to add on a large screen porch that could be enjoyed year-round.” ENLARGED MASTER SUITE SPACE: The north bedroom wall was removed and the bedroom was expanded to create a new master suite. Once the foundation and framing work was complete, interior walls were framed to create a new walk-in cedar closet and access into an existing bathroom off the living room. The newly reconfigured bathroom features a remodeled cultured marble shower with a glass enclosure, new flooring and oil rubbed bronze hardware & plumbing.

before & after

SCREEN PORCH DETAILS: To give the homeowners more access to year-round outdoor living, a new 500 SF screen porch was added off the new bedroom addition. To allow yearround use, EZE Breeze vinyl windows were selected over traditional screens. A Mitsubishi heating/cooling unit was installed allowing the homeowners to enjoy four-season comfort. Recessed can lights and two ceiling fans create ample lighting for evening use. A stamped concrete patio connects the new screen porch to the existing outdoor hot tub area. New patio doors create an access point into the screen porch.

RESULT: “The addition allows us to live in this house comfortably for the rest of our lives. I love having my own closet. I feel so much more organized. The porch is a dream. We enjoy the storms, take naps, play cards and entertain friends and family without the nuisance of bugs.”
