On June 8, Where’s Amy attended Operation Set Sail’s veterans recognition event at the Indianapolis Sailing Club on Geist. A veteran’s flag pole ceremony honoring fallen hero Collin Bowen drew community and government leaders like Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, Fishers city councilors and Indiana First Lady Janet Holcomb. In addition to the flag pole ceremony, the event also boasted a boat parade on the reservoir, a patriotic reception, food, live music and more. All area veterans and their families were inviting to this special event.

A few days before Christmas 2007, Shelby and Justin Bowen got a call from their military brother, Sgt. Collin J. Bowen, who was stationed in Afghanistan. “He said, ‘I know I’m done and supposed to be coming home, but the young guys who came into replace me, I think they’re a little green,’” Shelby said. So Shelby said his brother told them he had volunteered to go into the mountains with a new unit for one more 10-day mission to help train the younger members. “That was the last day we talked to him,” Shelby said. “The last day of his last mission (Jan. 2, 2008) he and two other soldiers were hit with an IED.” Sgt. Bowen, originally from Marion, Ind., but living in Maryland at the time, was flown back to the U.S. but died from major wounds from the roadside bomb in March 2008. The other two soldiers also died. Collin was 38 and left behind a wife, Ursula, who has since remarried, and then 3-yearold daughter, Gabriela, along with two daughters, Erin and Kate from a previous marriage.

The Indianapolis Sailing Club made sure the Bowen family knew his service was not forgotten by honoring Sgt. Bowen July 8 with a special flag and ceremony. Shelby, who now lives in Fishers, said he previously was a neighbor of ISC member Bob Solomon in Carmel. Solomon helped arrange the ceremony. “We’re grateful that folks remember not just Collin but all the soldiers who have fought for hundreds of years to protect our country,” Shelby said. “There is a lot of emotion between sadness and gratitude.” Bowen thanked Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness and Indiana First Lady Janet Holcomb,

wife of Gov. Eric Holcomb, for attending the ceremony. “Whenever I’m invited to a veterans event, it’s a very easy yes for me,” Janet said at the ceremony. “I particularly want to thank the Bowen family for their sacrifices with the loss of Sgt. Collin Bowen. We can never repay you for all you've given to our country and for your tremendous loss.” Also attending the ceremony was Collin’s brother, Justin, a Fishers resident, and his mother, Carolyn, of Marion. ISC runs Operation Set Sail, which honors and empowers veterans through sailing. For more, visit operationsetsail.com.

Locals consider running, replacing Kenley By Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com After a quarter century serving in the Indiana State elections Senate, 72-year-old Noblesville Republican Luke Kenley has announced he will retire Sept. 30, leading to a caucus to replace him. A date hasn't been set but several names have been floated as possible candidates to replace Kenley, including Megan Wiles, president of the Noblesville City Council; Sue Finkam, president of the Carmel City Council; and Scott Willis, a business owner and marine who ran against Kenley in the last primary. MEGAN WILES Kenley has encouraged Wiles to seek the seat. On July 10, she officially threw her name in for the District 20 senate seat. She Wiles began her first term

SCOTT WILLIS This Westfield resident ran against Kenley previously because he felt the General Assembly needs to change the formula for school Willis funding, which he hopes would return Hamilton County schools to some of the top in the state for dollars funded per student. Willis, a father of three, lost in the 2016 primary to Kenley with less than 40 percent of the vote. Willis said he will make a decision soon. “I am considering it,” he told Current last week. “I have meetings scheduled over the next few days with key people in the party to explore another run.”

Roger called Shelbourne Knee Center. At age 62 he didn’t want to hang up the soccer cleats or give up the trail runs with his dog Cowboy. And after a successful total knee replacement it looks like he won’t have to. In Roger’s words, “The biggest thing is I’m walking pain free.” And for Roger, those are pretty nice words to live by. A recent Shelbourne Knee Center study found that patients took 85% less pain medicine and had improved pain control after undergoing Shelbourne’s knee replacement process versus the with your life.

The beneficiary for the fifth annual Earl D. Hoover Memorial fundraiser Golf Tournament for Charities has a special meaning to board member Roy Allen Lederman, whose wife, Jen, is a breast cancer survivor. The tournament, which will be held July 22 at River Glen County Club in Fishers, assists a different charity each year. “My wife was diagnosed when she was 27 years old, and my son was not even a month old,” said Lederman, a Carmel resident. “She is now 15 years cancer-free. The Pink Ribbon Connection benefits people locally. It helps the women going through breast cancer emotionally and psychologically (and helps provide) the support they need. For those that can’t afford it, this organization provides the wigs free of charge for those in need.” The cost for one golfer is $150, and a foursome is $600. Registration starts at 7 a.m. with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. The tournament benefits Indiana chapters of various charities, including the

This year we all voted to go with Roy’s selection. When I called (Pink Ribbon Connection) and told them we’d like to partner with them, they said the timing could not be better for their needs.” The tournament is named for Hoover’s father, who was a former Muncie police officer who died of cancer in 1997.

Passionate Hoosiers Benners’ memorable year keeps getting better

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The last 10 months have been quite eventful for Bill and Sherry Benner. The long-time Geist residents’ younger daughter, Ashley, got married in October 2016. That was followed by Sherry’s retirement from Humana Health Insurcover story ance in January. In April, Bill was inducted into the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame, and then unexpectedly was presented with a Sagamore of the Wabash award by Gov. Eric Holcomb during filming for “Inside INdiana Business,” a TV show to which Bill is a regular contributor. “I was stunned,” Bill said. “(Holcomb) was very genuine and kind in what he said. That was cool.” In May, Bill, senior vice president of corporate, community and public relations for Pacers Sports & Entertainment, joined then-Pacers president Larry Bird and a contingent in presenting the team’s bid for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game. In between, there have been countless concerts, Pacers, Fever, Colts and Indiana University football games along with a trip to Alaska this month and some visits to Colorado to see daughter Allison and their two grandchildren. “We have incredibly full lives,” Bill said. “Early in May, we looked at the calendar for the rest of the year, and we had two empty weekends, and we already filled up one of those.” Bill, 68, was a sportswriter and columnist for 33 years at The Indianapolis Star. He left for Indiana Sports Corp. in 2001, followed by positions with Visit Indy (2005-2010), the Horizon League (2010-13) and the Pacers since November 2013. “I can’t hold a job,” Bill joked. As part of his position, he addresses groups several times per year. He will speak at the Westfield Chamber of Commerce luncheon July 20 at The Bridgewater Club in Carmel. Bill focuses on the many uses of Bankers Life Fieldhouse and the charitable mission of the Pacers Foundation, which he helps direct. “I always say our bottom line is what goes up the scoreboard, but there is so much more to Pacers Sports & Entertainment, certainly more than I realized when I took the job," said Bill, whose brother, David, has been the Pacers' media relations director since 1994. When Bill joined the Sports Corp., Sherry began volunteering for corporate challenges and the NCAA Final Fours for men’s and women’s basketball. “I was the team host for the Stanford women (in 2011) and the band and cheer host for the men’s Final Four two or three times,” Sherry said. “I worked for the (Indianapolis) Super Bowl volunteer committee.” Bill was the co-chair of the Super Bowl media relations committee. Sherry’s favorite moment was serving as the band and cheer host for George Mason at the 2006 Men’s Final Four. “We had the most fun with them,” Sherry said. “They were

LIVING IN GEIST

The Benners moved to Geist in 1988. Their two daughters graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School. Here are five things Bill said they love about Geist: 1. The lake, especially at sunset. We first started boating on Geist in the mid ’70s and the attraction of the water was one of the reasons we decided to build our home here. 2. The schools, that’s another reason we built here, the quality of the HSE system. Our girls were blessed to have excellent teachers and administrators. 3. Friday nights at Eddy’s or Puccini’s, you will generally find us at one or the other almost every Friday night, but especially during summertime. 4. Our neighbors, we have been blessed with wonderful neighbors. We were able to watch our children grow together and with new arrivals, we’re now able to watch the next generation. 5. Holy Spirit at Geist, from the storefront on 96th Street to Masses at Fall Creek Elementary and then to the current campus, we’ve been part of our church’s growth into a thriving faith community.

BILL’S 10 FAVORITE INDY SPORTS MOMENTS Bill Benner at his computer at the The Indianapolis Star office at 307 N. Pennsylvania St. in the early 1980s.

on the least budget of any organization I think I ever worked for. The other team host and I literally brought home their clothes and did their laundry twice because they didn’t have enough for all the things they had to do. They were the most appreciative kids.” Since retiring, her passion has been focused more on church-related activities, primarily volunteering for St. Vincent de Paul in Noblesville, where there is a thrift store and food pantry.” The Benners are long-time proponents of Special Olympics. “As an occupational therapist, I was involved early on in my career with Special Olympics,” said Sherry, who started out working at Indianapolis Public Schools’ school for the developmentally disabled in 1974. Sherry invited Bill to volunteer at Special Olympics events. “I was so blown away by it I wrote an article about it,” said Bill, who serves on the Special Olympics Indiana board. It’s a passion Allison shares as she works for Special Olympics Colorado. Colorado was a frequent vacation spot even before Allison moved there. “Even when the girls were young, we took ski vacations to Colorado,” Bill said.

1. Pan American Games (in 1987), it really signaled to the nation and world that we had arrived as a destination for sports. 2. 2012 Super Bowl, the energy and vibe in the days leading up to the game was unlike anything anyone could have imagined (and the weather wasn’t too bad, either). 3. Opening game in Market Square Arena in 1974, I was the Pacers’ beat writer at the time; MSA was the catalyst for the downtown development that would take place over the next three decades. 4. Being in the RCA Dome with my daughter, Ashley, when the Colts beat the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game to reach their first Super Bowl. 5. The hour preceding the start of any Indy 500. 6. Covering the game when 41,000 watched Damon Bailey lead Bedford North Lawrence to the state championship. 7. Butler’s Final Four appearance at Lucas Oil Stadium. 8. Hicks vs. Knicks (NBA playoffs). 9. Opening night (Nov 6, 1999) for Conseco Fieldhouse when Indiana’s 50 greatest players were honored 10. Any Saturday afternoon in Hinkle Fieldhouse.

ob s e r v ation Kindle by its cover

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker We might know spine. Certainly, we’ve learned the definition of cover. But what is the fore edge, hinge and free endpaper? Our lexicon must include hand-stitched, end-stained and hardbound. Although one would be hard-pressed to find someone who has never held a book, few of us show more than a limited command of the vocabulary required to describe its many components. Most focus on the ink at its most fundamental, the ideas. The means of conveyance, well, means very little. For generations, we humans have scribbled our hopes, aspirations and accumulated knowledge into the most permanent and accessible forms our technology would allow. From stone tablets to books took centuries; yet, the conversion to the digital may be done in a single lifetime (or less). The great mass of collected human knowledge has largely been made electronic. Convenience, low-cost and adjustable font size has driven us to rethink the way we approach how we absorb information. And so what? Bits and bytes are increasingly controlling the way we live. Currency, communication, and, now, data all move without any of the pesky need for an actual physical specie. Still, is it wise to judge a Kindle by its cover? If a book is edited not with a pen but with a keyboard, can we show its evolution, or devolution, from one iteration to the next? Someone recently reminded that books, by their very nature, are romantic and mysterious objects. At sight, we don’t know what they will bring us. Will our smartphone come to embody the same promise? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Time to strengthen smoke-free laws Editor, July 1 marks the five-year anniversary of Indiana’s smoke-free air law. This law was a milestone for the state of Indiana in protecting thousands of Hoosiers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. Unfortunately, it also left many workers unprotected. The progressive cities of Hamilton County have the opportunity to make up for what the state smoke-free air law is lacking, to cover all public venues, including bars and membership clubs. Two cities, Carmel and Westfield, passed what’s now the state law a few years prior to 2012. All Hamilton County cities are leaders that promote commerce, cultivate thriving communities and foster health, making them the envy of other counties and cities throughout the state and the nation. They embrace

healthy living by building complete streets that invite walkability, address the stigma of mental health, promote youth athletics and design world-class, often smoke-free, parks. Why can’t one or all of these cities, or the county as a whole, take the next step in health by adopting smoke-free air policies that protect employees, no matter where they work? I could bring up how smoke-free air laws positively affect health and protect our economy, but in Hamilton County it’s about leadership. Our cities have a healthy competitiveness that keeps them on the cutting edge. The question, or perhaps challenge, becomes which of these cities will add smoke-free air to its list of firsts.

I pretty much live at Meijer. Six to seven gallons of milk a week, five boxes of cereal, two bunches of bananas ... humor you get the picture. The point is, I have my grocery shopping down to a fine art. Many of you, however, do not. So here ya go. Have a list. This is Grocery 101 here, people. A list won’t prevent you from buying things not on the list but will ensure you get everything that your family deemed important enough to actually write on the list. Doo’s deodorant, Maddie’s pencil sharpener, cat food, etc., — essentials that you will definitely hear about if forgotten. Just do it! I shouldn’t have to mention this, but I realize I am dealing with amateurs: Always park as close to a cart corral as possible. Only use the self-check line if 75 percent of your items are pre-packaged. You are not a professional cashier! You have not memorized the scan code for radicchio! Never get in the check-out line behind women over the age of 30 (unless it’s me). Rather, shoot for male patrons. They purchase less, never use coupons and usually pay with cash. Men don’t want to be there, so they’re focused on a quick exit. Organize your goods on the conveyor belt into these categories: cold/frozen products, boxed goods, cans/jars, produce and smooshables. This allows for an efficient bagging process and ensures that dairy and meat stay colder (Doo always teases me about this whenever I allow him to tag along, but just this weekend I had a cashier actually thank me for my anal retentive organization and confirm that this technique does in fact speed up check-out. Take that, Doo!). Make me proud! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Pie in the eye Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Hal Fryar passed away recently at 90. If you don’t know who he is, maybe the name Harlow Hickenlooper will ring humor a bell. Harlow Hickenlooper is tough to say. Hal Fryar will be tough to forget. They are one and the same. Hal was the host of several children’s television shows in Indianapolis throughout his 43-year career, including a longtime gig on WFBM-TV (now WRTV-6), where he introduced Three Stooges movie shorts. In 1965, Fryar was cast in the original Three Stooges movie, “The Outlaws Is Coming,” playing the part of Johnny Ringo. In 2008, he was inducted into the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame. Hal loved performing on live TV, a passion he and I shared. But there was a strain in our relationship — a mock competition between us. It began when Hal boasted that the Three Stooges hit him in the face with a pie, citing it as proof of his friendship with the trio. Not to be outdone, I proudly proclaimed that I had once been similarly victimized by the one and only Soupy Sales when he came to Indy to perform at Crackers Com-

edy Club. Soupy agreed to do a live WISH-TV shoot from his hotel. That morning, as we planned, I waited at the elevator until he exited to the lobby. I mentioned to Soupy how much older he looked. When a waiter walked by carrying a pie, Soupy nabbed it and smooshed it squarely in my face. The last time Hal Fryar and I spoke, we compared proper pie-throwing techniques. The pie, which is usually shaving cream on a paper plate should be placed on the face using an upward motion. No grinding permitted. One eye of the recipient should be kept free of pie so he can navigate safely to a bathroom to clean up. Useless information, you say? Not to a comedy artist like Hal. Months ago, when Hal discovered that his cancer had returned, he lamented to his son, Gary, “Gosh darn it, I was really looking forward to my 90s.” Direct and right on target. Just like a pie in the face.

The future of stem cells Commentary by Dmitry M. Arbuck, MD Stem cells repair tissue around them, donating mitochondria and other vital parts to diseased cells. If science repair is impossible, they turn themselves into new and healthy young tissue. This allows for the healing of virtually any organ. When infused intravenously, stem cells initially concentrate in the lungs and multiply there. This is why they are so useful in treating COPD, cystic fibrosis and other lung conditions. As the stem cells continuously multiply, their function is long-lived. In addition to being therapeutic on their own, they also promote your body’s own stem cells to become more vital and active. This aids in healing, but more importantly, is the basis for rejuvenation. Umbilical cord stem cells come from the donated cord blood of healthy newborns and, because of that, they do not present ethical concerns. Umbilical cord stem cells are not known to cause immune rejection or transmit genetic diseases. Stem cells are widely used to

treat conditions in orthopedic and sports medicine, immune diseases and a whole host of other diseases and conditions. Stem cells also possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties, so they suppress infections and help antibiotics be more effective. Each umbilical cord stem cell infusion prolongs life and prevents diseases. This is why they may be used prophylactically, allowing healthy people to stay healthy. By regulating the immune system, umbilical cord stem cells prevent cancer, slow down aging and improve well-being. With regular use of umbilical cord stem cells, humanity will change. We will live longer and be healthier. It is estimated that living to age 160 and older will be common. It is hard to fathom the true scope of benefits that stem cells can provide. The future is today. Please check StemCellsIndy.com for more information.

There are some situations, however, when avoiding a claim and absorbing the loss is more cost-effective than filing a claim. For example, if the amount of an auto repair is just slightly over the deductible, you might be better off to pay the extra out-of-pocket expense yourself. Filing a claim can cause your rates to increase by more than the amount you ended up paying. Source: WiseBread.com

You can do a lot of things in it and play a lot of different instruments. It’s a high-energy show, and it’s just a lot of fun.” Drake should know. He played in the three-month touring version of the show, which tells the story of Cash through the performer’s iconic songbook. Drake is part of the ensemble, which has no real stars. No one plays a specific character. Johnny Cash is the star. “We all take turns of being different characters,” he said. “Sometimes, one woman will play June Carter. Sometimes, one woman is Patsy Cline. Sometimes, somebody plays Johnny’s brother. Then, Johnny

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor retreat for the family Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions: The goal was to design a multi-functional outdoor space the family could enjoy for many years to come! 1. The original wood deck was replaced with an expanded stamped concrete patio at ground level for a trip-free transition from the grass. The stamped concrete steps have embedded lights for safety. 2. A large portion of this new patio is under a vaulted, covered structure to provide shelter in precipitation. The painted structure matches the home’s existing trim color, and the column bases are clad with a stone to coordinate with the existing brick. The new accent lighting allows the space to be enjoyed in the evening. 3. A new wood-burning fireplace was clad with the stone used for the column bases. The new grill island was clad with brick to match the base on the home — a seamless look with the home’s intended style!

Before Background Info: This home in Carmel’s Longridge Estates neighborhood is only 5 years old, but the original base level deck that was tacked onto the home was not sufficient for this growing family’s needs.

After

Before problems: With their love of the outdoors and the stressful demands of their careers, the family desired a combined outdoor retreat and entertaining space to enjoy in multiple seasons, with direct visibility to the kids and dog playing in the backyard.

Towering achievement: Taipei 101 Commentary by Don Knebel

17/18 17/18

Taipei 101, located in Taipei’s vibrant financial district, was the world’s tallest building for five years. travel It remains famous for its innovations and extensive symbolism. Named for its 101 stories, Taipei 101 was completed in 2004 at a cost of almost 2 billion U.S. dollars. At 1,671 feet (509 meters) high, it was the first inhabited building more than half-a-kilometer high and was 188 feet taller than the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, then the world’s tallest building. Taipei 101 lost its title in 2009 to Dubai’s 2,722-foot Burj Khalif, the first building more than a half-mile tall. It retains its title as the world’s tallest green building, based on a LEED certification in 2011. Taipei 101 is approximately 660 feet from a major fault line. To withstand both a 2,500-year earthquake and the typhoons common to Taiwan, the building includes a novel mechanism allowing the building to flex while resisting excessive swaying. A 728-ton spherical steel pendulum, 18 feet in diameter, is suspended between the 92nd and 87th floors and acts as a tuned mass damper, making the building stable even in 130 mph winds. The design of Taipei 101 symbolically celebrates Taiwan’s economic and technological progress. The number of floors – 101 – connotes both the new beginnings of each Jan. 1 and binary code. The exterior of the building, covered in green glass, suggests a giant bamboo stalk, an ancient icon of learning and abundance. Eight sections above the base each include eight floors, reflecting the No. 8 as a symbol of prosper-

ity. Each section resembles an antique Chinese moneybox, a connection made explicit by circular projections on each side based on Chinese coins having a hole in their centers. At night, Taipei 101’s pinnacle is lighted yellow as a candle of liberty. When visiting Taipei, Taipei 101 is a must-see. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
