Fishers-based digital medium unites Hoosier craft beer community By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com For the past few years, craft micro-breweries have been exploding all over innovation the Midwest, especially in Indiana. With so much going on in Indiana’s craft beer scene, it may seem impossible to keep up with the constant growth. Fortunately, one Fishers-based company has a solution for those seeking to stay informed. Indiana On Tap is a revolutionary digital medium that is allowing Indiana craft beer fanatics to engage in the craft beer community like never before. Starting out of Launch Fishers, IOT uses their website to provide a plethora of information on Hoosier breweries, craft beers and events. “We identify ourselves as the state’s largest crafter, news, events and information website,” Justin Knepp, IOT’s founder and president, said. “The website portion of what we do; we are the largest. We have the largest trafficked and social media audience than of any type of craft beer news and information and events website.” After only a year and a half, IOT has already gained the support of more than 55 Indiana breweries as well as positive feedback through a social media audience of more than 15,000 through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. “It’s been exciting for us how quickly the breweries support us and how quickly all of the craft brew fans all over the state support us,” Knepp said. “We knew that what we were doing was going to address a need in the marketplace, but I think even we under estimated how much of a need there was.” But their website is only a fraction of what makes the company so unique. Just premiered from IOT in July is the Tasting Society Marketplace membership program. For just $50 a year, members will receive coupons

and incentives via mail that are acceptable at dozens of participating breweries with savings of over $500. “The whole goal is to introduce craft beer fans to breweries that they’ve never been to before; beers they’ve never tried before,” Knepp said. “It’s an incentives based program. Not only is it creating a great experience for [members], it’s a platform for them to go experience all these new beers. There’s nothing like it that’s ever been produced, not only in Indiana, but, from what we can tell, anywhere. For people in Indianapolis alone you’re going to get your money back after two or three or four visits to breweries.” Similar to a Bourbon Trail, IOT expects the Tasting Society Marketplace to encourage competition among members to travel across the state to see how many breweries they can visit.

“For a lot of people it’s going to be the challenge to go and see how many of these Marketplace partners can they visit in a year. One thing that we are going to be adding very soon is basically a Tasting Society Marketplace Hall of Fame where we’ll actually recognize the people on the website for how many of market place partners they visited; how many days it took them to do it. We really expect it to become a competition or challenge,” Knepp said. Coming in September, IOT is also organizing an event with the town of Whitestown called Whitestown Brewfest featuring Indiana breweries as well as a home brew competition where the winner will have their beer produced professionally.

A boy who loves to run. That is exactly the profile that fits incoming fifth grader William Moore-Oats. A student at achiEvement Mt. Comfort Elementary, Moore-Oats is one of the few Indiana participants who will have the opportunity to run track & field in the National Junior Olympics. Knowing the top five advance to the Junior Olympics, Moore-Oats placed a consistent fifth place in all three events at the regional USTF competition in Illinois. He told his mom before the events, “I got this. I got this.” “He knew exactly what he needed to do to qualify, he knew how to compete. My goal for him in the Junior Olympics is just to achieve a new personal best,” William’s mother, Tonya Moore-Oats, said. Football and basketball are his other passions, and it was running/conditioning for football that brought him to enjoy track. A friend of the family saw Moore-Oats’ speed and encouraged him to participate in track. He won a silver medal in the United States Track & Field Chick-Fil-A 200 Classic in Nobles-

ville, and also placed bronze in long-jump. Next, he qualified for the regional competition in Valparaiso with the 100 and the long-jump, and also received a silver medal in the 200. Moore-Oats is planning on playing travel basketball for Mt. Vernon, and then run track for Mt. Vernon Middle School next year. Currently, he is in his first year running track for Indiana Storm Track & Field Moore-Oats will compete in the Junior Olympics in Jacksonville, Fla. in the 100 meter, 200 meter and long-jump competition for 9 and 10 year-olds. The event will begin at 1:45 p.m. on July 29 and can be seen live on www.usatf.tv.

Cloud-based service and software can be a difficult concept to grasp, which is why companies like CloudOne can be such valuable assets in helping companies utilize tech this new technology. With Fishers being a haven for tech savvy companies, it seems only fitting that on July 22 CloudOne announced that it will be relocating its global headquarters to Fishers. “As CloudOne has scaled up, we have quickly outgrown our current office McDonald space. In order to help enterprises make their things for the Internet of Things, it’s imperative we have a creative workspace reflective of our company’s culture and conducive to collaboration. We are looking forward to the Fishers community helping foster our continued growth,” John McDonald, CEO of CloudOne said. The company will lease 11,518 square feet in The Switch at 8626 E. 116th St., Suite 300, in

The move will allow CloudOne to create approximately 64 new fulltime positions for Indiana resident employees by 2019. “I couldn’t be more excited to welcome CloudOne to the Fishers community,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said. Their commitment to our community elevates us all.” CloudOne will occupy the entire third floor space in The Switch, a $28 million dollar mixed-use project. All current employees working from the CloudOne location at 9247 N. Meridian St. in Indianapolis will relocate to the new headquarters. For more information, visit www.onecloudone.com

Ideas are easy, action is hard Commentary by Mike Colaw People often approach me with a new ministry idea. Honestly, I love it! There are some great ideas floating around out there. Homeless ministries, retirement religion home ministries, inner city art programs, ESL classes, adoption, missions trips to different countries, nutrition classes, rape prevention classes, ministries focused on those with disabilities, and even personal finance classes, just to name a few. The conversations almost always go the same way. • They let me know their area of passion. • They are deeply concerned for the church because it isn’t involved enough in that specific area. • They want me to preach and speak about it. • They want me to start a church wide movement. • They never offer to lead it themselves, usually stating that they are just too busy. I do believe God calls each of His followers to engage in some type of ministry. I also believe that many people don’t have time for God things because they are so busy

with good things. We live in a day and age of activism awareness, but very few actually act. Most feel pity and have a passion to help those that are hurting in some way, but few will actually rearrange their busy life to engage. So they desperately work to blame someone for their disobedience. Excuses flow like Niagara Falls. The crazy thing is most excuses are good. Good people busy doing decent things. They are just so busy with good things they don’t have time for the best things. So I pray you become so convicted that you actually adopt, actually teach a class, actually go on a missions trip, actually teach an ESL class, actually go and serve the homeless, or possibly even spend one evening a week encouraging the elderly at a retirement home. Pastors can help equip you for works of service and even do some of these with you, but they can’t live your call for you. Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

Local doctor uses new treatment By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers’ cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Michelle Jones Singer, is bringing a revolutionary, new treatment for postmenopausal women. The procedure treats thinning, drying innovation and inflammation of the vaginal wall. The treatment is called the MonaLisa Touch. Currently, Jones Singer is the only doctor in the state of Indiana performing the treatment. “The Mona Lisa Touch is a fractional Co2 laser for the vagina. It was invented in Italy. They've been using it for vaginal dryness, postJones Singer menopausal women, women who have had breast cancer and women that can't take estrogen,” said Jones Singer. It has also been found to help women with bladder leakage which usually requires surgery. Jones Singer performs the treatment in her office. A typical course of treatment is three procedures in an 18-week period. Most women report an improvement after the first

treatment. “It's a 6-inch long device that goes inside the vagina. It's painless and it takes less than five minutes. No anesthesia is required. It's done right here in the office. Most ladies return to regular activity that day as soon as they leave,” said Jones Singer. The procedure was approved by the FDA in 2014. Jones Singer trained under Dr. Mickey Karram who is credited with bringing the new treatment to the United States. Jones Singer said it will help many women with something that isn’t often discussed. “Studies show vaginal atrophy is very depressing to women from age 50 and on because it affects their sex life,” she said. The laser works to stimulate the vaginal wall to generate collagen, elastin and increase blood vessels. “What that does is help the mucosal layer which is the vaginal lining layer. That keeps the vaginal wall healthy. Women will be able to enjoy the intimacy with their husbands,” said Jones Singer.

Vein treatment specialists to open in Fishers By Michelle Williams • news@currentinfishers.com “The environment for taking care of veins in Indianapolis and many parts of medical the country is not limited to vascular surgeons,” Dr. Richard W. Chitwood said. Chitwood is a vascular surgeon and physician with VeinSolutions. “When you are not a surgeon, the options Chitwood that you have at your hands to treat varicose veins are limited by the fact that you’re not a surgeon. When you’re a surgeon, you’re options aren’t limited because you can do anything along the spectrum of care.” VeinSolutions will open a new location on Aug. 13 in St.Vincent Fishers Hospital at 13861 Olio Rd. Along with Chitwood, two other physicians will practice at the new location: Dr. George Sheng, M.D. and Dr. Sajjad Hussain, M.D. Chitwood said that the VeinSolutions practice decided to expand to offer the community more vein treatment options with physicians that

specialize in vein care. “I’ve been doing vein work for the entire duration of my career,” Chitwood said, who has been practicing for nearly 20 years. Chitwood often sees patients who have been either over- or under-treated by practitioners with a sub-specialty in vein treatment. VeinSolutions offers free screening evaluations for therapeutic and cosmetic vein issues such as varicose veins, spider veins, leg swelling, leg ulcers and venous insufficiency. Chitwood also performs common cosmetic treatments including Botox and Dysport. “Varicose veins can range from being completely asymptomatic to symptomatic and debilitating. Treatment is really based on the symptoms they cause,” Chitwood said. Patients may contact the practice directly as a physician’s referral is not necessary. Following the complimentary screening, patients may make the decision to move forward with more in-depth consultative evaluations. VeinSolutions employs the use of ultrasonography to identify valvular incompetence ⎯ the cause of varicose veins. The new Fishers location may be contacted at 415-9500.

Great schooling Commentary by Michael VandenBerg It’s back to school time in Indianapolis area and parents all over are busy getting ready to send their children back to school to learn all the things they will need to get good jobs, raise great families and contribute to their communities. We expect a lot religion from our schools and teachers, but one of the greatest sources of education is much closer to home. YOU.... their parent. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” No one spends more time with your children than you do. They watch every move you make, every decision that moves you and every word that comes from your mouth they almost memorize, even the ones that you wish you hadn’t said. Schools can teach our children many marvelous things about the world; science, math, language, art, etc., but what you can teach your children is values, character, integrity, hope and perhaps the greatest thing of all... love. Do you love your child; love them so much

that you are willing to sacrifice your own natural first responses for the benefit of your children? One young single mom, raising her son on her own is doing all of this and more. Her son has special challenges and therefore takes special attention and lots of time. She shows him her love every day and every moment of every day just in the things she does. She has taken lesser paying jobs just have the flexibility to meet her son’s challenges, she has spent countless hours with teachers, pastors, social workers, and tutors to be her sons advocate and guardian. But most of all she loves him in unconditional ways that speaks This year, as you send your children off to school know that the most important item you send with them is not an item at all, but your very visible love and support.

Turn off, tune in Commentary by Amy L. Stewart Believe it or not, before long, another summer will draw to a close. Soon we will return to the hustle and bustle of another school year, and then the cold, confined expanse of winter. As we reflect, how did we lifestyle spend the summer of 2015? What priceless moments and memories will this summer contribute to the mosaic of our lives? How Stewart tuned in were we - to our loved ones, to nature, to the people and places around us? If our response to these questions leaves something to be desired, the good news is, there’s still time. If our attention, our presence, offers room for improvement, perhaps we can try an experiment to give it a kick. What I’m proposing is that we turn off. The phones, the pads and pods, the laptops and the desktops. What I’m proposing is that we pull the plug and power off.

Just curious – how did you feel when you read that? If you managed to keep on reading, go ahead and pick a time. A time that is long enough to make you feel just a little bit uncomfortable. A full evening, at least. Even better, a Saturday or a Sunday, or an entire weekend – even longer, if you dare. Challenge others to join you. Make it a family event. Put the devices away, out of sight, and leave them there. Take a deep breath . . . What do you notice? About the world around you? About the people around you? Perhaps more important, what do you notice about you? How do you spend your time? What are your conversations like? Are you more comfortable or less comfortable than you expected? Any surprises? What do you learn? How does it feels to be tuned in? How does it feel to your loved ones to have you tuned in? Could it be worth doing again? Now – ask yourself, what were the priceless moments and memories of summer 2015?“I am excited to be celebrating Jarden Home

July 27 HSE School Board recap By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com A meeting of the Hamilton Southeastern School Board was held on education July 27 at 7 p.m. in the HSE Administration Building. All board members were in attendance. What happened: This meeting’s Snapshot of Success was awarded to Fishers High School teacher Andrew Smith. Smith recently competed in NBC’s military edition of American Ninja Warrior. Smith was chosen as one of the 400 out of 50,000 entries into the competition. Why it matters: In 2006 Smith had incurred several injuries including a broken neck and a stroke, which greatly impacted his family and his way of life. Through the inspiration of his family, Smith trained for four to six times a week for the competition. Smith’s success comes not from his appearance on television, but his physical journey to regain his confidence and strength. Hamilton Southeastern Schools was proud to honor Smith as not only an American Ninja Warrior, but as a great role model for students. ••• What happened: Cecilie Nunn presented the board with changes to facilities-use procedures, particularly focusing on the use of HSE sports

facilities. Some of the suggested changes included charging local athletic groups for facility rental for use, requiring proof of non-for-profit status of groups, changing the charge of 10 percent gross revenue to 20 percent for tournaments run by sports leagues using a third party, reducing rental rate of tennis court use. Why it matters: The board approved the changes in procedures as presented except for one in particular which suggested increasing the required percent of a group’s membership to reside in the district from 75 to 90 percent. Board members felt that 90 percent was too high and suggested it remain at 75 percent.

The help and support I needed to get and stay fit simply wasn’t there. Then I found Koko, and my life changed in so many ways. I’m getting what I want, how I want it and when I want it.

End of an era Students come together to show war veterans their appreciation By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The moment was not lost on the former students of Indian Creek Elementary School fifth-grader teacher Steve Hardwick. For the 15th and final time, the Lawcover story rence Township teacher and his former students put a show on July 25 at the 76th Infantry Brigade Armory in Lawrence to honor World War II veterans and, for the last few years, Korean War veterans as well. “These men and women have made incredible sacrifices,” said Kara Hairston, a recent Lawrence Central High School graduate. “They deserve a big extravagant thank you and any contributions I can make to that process I’m very happy to do so. The students and friends who volunteer their time to put on this tribute have a greater understanding and great

appreciation for what it means because they truly are the greatest generation.” For the past several years, Hardwick played the role of Jack Benny in the United Services Organization show for the veterans. Lawrence North senior Nicole Cordes played Benny’s wife, Mary Livingstone. “I got a lot more nervous because I knew this was way more important because I knew it’s the last hurrah and I don’t know when I’ll see these men that I’ve known for years or new ones I’ve met, again,” Cordes said. Cordes said after learning more about the war and seeing these men again left a mark on her heart. Allie Henry, a 2015 Lawrence North graduate, sang the same song she did after fifth grade. “It’s one of my favorite memories from elementary school,” Henry said. “It’s very gratifying to talk to them and hear their stories. It makes a difference when you can talk to someone who has been to Normandy and landed on the beach instead of reading it out of a textbook.” Kaylin Schildemeyer, a recent Cathedral graduate, has been tap dancing for the veterans since after fifth grade. Her younger sister Sarah, a Cathedral sophomore, joined her the last few years. “I loved doing it for the troops,” Kaylin said. Final curtain The veterans turned the tables on Hardwick, paying tribute to him for his dedication. Lawrence Mayor Dean Jessup issued a proclamation, declaring July Kaylin Schildmeyer, left, and Allie Henry hold an old magazine that featured World War II 25 as Steve Hardwick Day. veterans. Schildmeyer tap danced during the program for veterans.

Kara Hariston thanks Gene Cogan for his service in the military. Cogan served in the U.S. Army.

Indianapolis resident and WWII vet Doug Horth, 92, said Hardwick went the extra mile and beyond to teach his children about the depression and WWII. “It’s interesting to see how quickly they’ve grabbed that once it was presented to them,” Horth said. Horth understood why this is the last one and how much work it took to put the show on. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII and the number of living WWII vets decreases by an average of 492 per day, according to U.S. Veterans Administration figures. Hardwick, 51, knows what he will miss the most. “What I will miss is watching the students interact with the veterans, showing their appreciation, showing their love for the veterans,” Hardwick said. “And letting the veterans see there are young people that honor them and appreciate what the World War II and Korean veterans gave for our country. I’ve had middle school, high school and college students come back to help and there is no program without them.” Alex Navarre, 25, is going into her fourth year as a first grade teacher at Harrison Hill Elementary in Lawrence. She was one of several students from Hardwick’s first class to put on the tribute. At that first show, Navarre paid tribute to her grandfather, Albert Navarre, a medic in Gen. George Patton’s Third Army, who attended the first show and has since died. This was the fifth time she helped with the show. “It’s the end of a little era here,” Navarre said. “I think we’ve done a great thing the last 15 years and Mr. Hardwick has kept it going.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Did we speak too soon here? A few weeks ago in this space, we labeled billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump a buffoon. While that may be true, given his bluster and off-color comments, we’re taking a closer look. What we most admire about Trump is this: He (for now) is a Republican with more than enough fortitude to tell the Republican National Committee where to get off. In truth, the Party of Wimps, is hurting Trump. Its leaders have no clue how damaged its brand really is. It began with George W. Bush and his spineless colleagues in the House and Senate. They actually brought rise to the new liberalism. Think about that. As we see it, Trump is holding a powerful card these days, the one that he may turn over and show him moving to independent status. Yes, an “I” as Ross Perot once was. As an independent, he would throw the whole GOP nominating process into a bona fine mess, because he would, without a doubt, cause no small amount of squabbling among the leadership. Gall? Nerve? Guts? Smarts? We’ll go with the latter two at this point. He’s the only one in the current candidate pool with enough spine to say what he truly believes (even if he’s dead wrong on some fronts), not what “we” want to hear, and now it seems to us that he’s the leader in the clubhouse with respect to telling terrorists, nukeholding nations and general opponents of the U.S. that enough is enough. Donald Trump, independent. Can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth, to speak nothing of the meteoric rise of angst, at RNC offices (Dysfunction Central) if he declares that designation? If he remains, could he rebrand the party? We’ll see. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Terry Anker

While it seems summer has just begun, the kids are already buying backpacks and planning class schedules. Some of their friends, we’re told, have already found their way back into the classroom. For our younger ones, life is fairly simple. We follow the prescribed list provided by the school for supplies; and, we clean out the closet to see which clothes fit from the previous year. Although in our house, we may have reached the penultimate occasion as our youngest has finally matched in height to his big brother. Never daunted, we confirm classes and plan for back-to-school night. Likewise, our older is preparing to return to his second year at Indiana University. This time the trip is old hat. There will be little fumbling to find classroom buildings, the best place to get pizza, and the bookstore which sells its wares at a slightly lower price. Instead, our preparations have turned towards more adult topics. Along the way, we have attempted to directly

address difficult matters like substance abuse, interpersonal conflict, human sexuality, and domestic finance. While each of these has its own peculiarities, talking dollars and cents can be the most awkward. College students are burdened with debt, along with their parents, at a rate unprecedented in human history. At the same time, irresponsible teen sexuality is on the decline. Is it possible that we’ve talked enough about the spread of disease but too little about the insidious spread of easy credit? What does it mean to be a debtor? To our credit statement, to our spirits, and to our future? Can debt be smart? When is it most assuredly foolish? Creditors can be partners or predators – it is imperative that we know the difference.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EE K Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. – Albert Einstein

All summer I have felt tired. At first I thought it was just my body finally slowing down after 10 months of juggling teaching, parenting and marriage. Then humor I suspected that my thyroid gland was the culprit. Most recently I’ve blamed the stupid training program I’m doing for a stupid triathlon that a stupid brother-in-law, or BIL, talked me in to. But alas, I now know the real reason for my frequent lethargy despite 10-hour-a-night sleeping marathons. Here’s what went down. While vacationing with my entire family in South Carolina, a different BIL made a plea for Advil. My room was the closest, so I dashed in and grabbed an old Aleve bottle that contained what I thought were an assortment of various pain relievers. I sifted through and selected two small orangeybrown caplets and handed them over. Then, because it was my night to prepare dinner, I headed to Publix. Twenty minutes later I received a phone call from my sister asking if I’d accidently given her husband Ambien. I laughed out loud and said, “Of course not! I don’t even own sleeping pills. And I’ve been working out of the same bottle for the past few months. Those were definitely Advil!” Turns out, they were most definitely not Advil, but honest-to-God 5 mg zolpidem tartrates. Luckily the BIL whom I drugged was fine after a long nap, but I spent the next hour crying, extremely embarrassed and utterly confused by my mistake. How had Ambien even made its way in there? The last time I remember having a prescription for it was 2007! Could these be the same ones? Regardless, the mystery of my low energy levels is now solved. Every time I thought I was treating a headache I was actually ingesting a sedative! My family thinks the whole thing is hilarious, and won’t let me forget it. “Anybody have an Advil? I really need to sleep tonight!” or “Danielle, is this blue pill Aleve or Viagra?” Clearly, I’m surrounded by comedians. I’m just thankful I solved my fatigue problem before the triathlon. Talk about stupid! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentinfishers. com.

Let’s play Bocce Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Our friends Len and Helen invited us and some other church members to their house to play Bocce. Len read it was humor a great sport for Unitarians. But it might have said septuagenarians—he wasn’t sure. A player tosses the pallino, a small ball, down the court and then teams compete to see who can throw additional balls, which are a bit larger, closest to the target ball. Simple enough, but soon a dispute arose when Myrna heaved the pallino onto the neighbor’s lawn and we didn’t know whose turn was next or how many points her team lost, and Martin wanted to know if we all stunk so much it was time to find another church activity. To avoid any future confusion, I bought a book called “The Joy of Bocce.” I already owned “The Joy of Cooking” and “The Joy of Sex,” although both of them were put in storage before we started to remodel our kitchen. The author summarizes, “Some people think it’s just a game of throwing bigger balls at a smaller ball.” Then the rest of the book is about how to throw a big ball at a smaller

ball. Mario wonders why bocce can’t get more TV coverage. (Maybe when this Donald Trump thing dies down.) Determining whose ball is closest to the pallino is exacting. “When the distances are smaller than your foot, use a pencil, pieces of twigs and even a car antenna.” Apparently, the idea of a tape measure never dawned on these people. Precise measurement is important. When you have eight solid wooden balls the size of grapefruits, unlimited beer and cranky old people, you want to avoid any potential conflict. There is also a chapter on Bocce etiquette, which includes not thinking too long over a shot, and maintaining emotional control. But my favorite is number three: DON’T WANDER OFF. Maybe that’s why Len keeps leaving me a voicemail message asking where I am. ( For Dick’s complete column go to www. currentinfishers.com) Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist, and speaker.

Climate change: The real deal Editor, If one follows popular media, one is likely to “know” that “scientific evidence is overwhelming that man made climate change is real and happening now”. It is correct that climate change is real – it has been for four and a half billion years – but the “man made” part is minor. My credentials; I am retired. I have never worked for an energy company. I’ve never accepted a grant. My Purdue degree is in a natural science and I have actively studied it ever since. I am an environmentalist. I cannot be written off as a “science denier.” What I am going to tell you now is understood by few because it’s not what the political grant money supports to get the prescribed answers, Carbon in the atmosphere and oceans is much more controlled by volcanos than by humanity. The major causes of climate also include sun spots, sun flares and Milankovich cycles (Earth’s wobble and orbital shifts).

There has been limited press on the fraud of how temperatures have been reported and who has reported them for what reasons. The preponderance of responsible climate researchers report that world temperatures have not increased for 17 years and that we actually are now in a 10 year cooling cycle. Apparently there is even more, not less, ice in the Arctic. I also study world politics more than most. That identifies me as a little nuts, but it’s clear that “global warming/climate change” is a political movement to compromise the greatest, most generous country this world has ever known by ending what’s left of its free market. Be careful who and what you believe, promote and ask for. Redistribution of wealth, which this fraud is really about, is best accomplished by rewarding free enterprise. Please don’t ask for more destructive government regulation. Mic Mead

Go behind the scenes of the Great American Songbook Competition The 2015 Songbook All-Stars perform a second group number called, “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” (Photos by Brielle Saggesse) Salon 01 gives image makeovers to the Top 10 Finalists including Songbook All-Star Lucas DeBard, winner of the event. During the competition, DeBard sang “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter” and “I’ll See You In My Dreams.” DeBard said, “I’d really like to establish that I don’t want to be Michael Bublé, I don’t want to be Harry Connick Jr., I want to be Lucas DeBard. I want to come in with individuality so that they see Lucas and not something else.” Songbook All-Star Madelyn Steuer starts her hair treatments for her own image transformation. Her songs for the competition were “Ev’rything I’ve Got” and “P.S. I Love You.” Steuer said, “I have a retro persona, in general, so I want to go for the 50s or 60s bombshell look. I want to surprise (the audience) because it’ll have that sex appeal even though I’m little. “

Songbook All-Star Katie Swaney waits to start her image transformation. She performed the musical theatre songs, “My White Knight” and “Show Me.” “I knew image was important (to a performer) but didn’t realize really how important it was until Mr. Alvarez told us today about a social experiment with a famous violinist,” Swaney said. “When (the violinist) went out no one recognized him without the stage, the suit and the hair. It’s all about how people recognize you and how you present yourself.” Kathleen Muloma, Songbook All-Star and Carmel High School graduate, performs a solo in “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” For the competition, Muloma sang “What’s New” and “I’m Beginning To See The Light.”

Kristin Barnes, Songbook All-Star and Carmel High School graduate sang “100 Easy Ways to Lose a Man” and “So In Love” for her part in the competition. “My favorite memory from this week was whenever all of us would just sit around and make music together,” Barnes said. “I’m just continually blown away by the talent and blessed to be here.”

Compiled by Brielle Saggesse news@geistcurrent.com On July 25, finalists from around the country gathered to perform in the Great American Songbook performance Competition. Current’s Brielle Saggesse got a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to be a performer by capturing singers before their performances at the Image Workshop on July 24, and during the competition. Micki Stirsman, owner and creative director of Salon 01, and Aquage co-founder Luis Alvarez, who led the Image Workshop for the 2015 Songbook All-Stars on July 24 spoke to the finalists about image on stage and off. Stirsman said, “You need to know what it is you want people to see you for. An artist on stage commands attention. Your voice is your art and that’s what we want people to see.” Stirsman and Alvarez discussed how to build a performer’s image from choosing the right color for a gown to creating drama through contrast. “We can’t help you with notes be we can sure help you with the note you put out, physically,” Alvarez said.

Connick comes to Carmel

By Jay Harvey • news@currentincarmel.com

Born in New Orleans and receptive to its musical traditions performance from childhood, Harry Connick Jr. has built a career that goes far beyond the Crescent City. He’s had mass-media exposure as a judge on “American Idol” since January of last year. But he was well known for decades before that, his fame especially boosted by his soundtrack recording for “When Harry Met Sally.” Signed to Columbia records at 18, he’s now 47 and still based as a musician and family man in New Orleans. From there he has lent conspicuous support to rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, while maintaining a broad-based international career that encompasses acting on TV and in movies, in addition to a few writing and performing credits on Broadway, including a revival of “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.” His songwriting is often featured on tour, and past Indianapolis appearances have included both big-band and small-group gigs. Stylistically, he’s comfortable in both jazz and pop-oriented contexts, playing piano and singing.

Harry Connick Jr. will perform Aug. 6 in Carmel. (File photo)

His jazz development was guided by Ellis Marsalis, patriarch of jazz’s most notable family, and James Booker, a revered exponent of the New Orleans piano style. “There’s nobody that could even remotely come close to his piano-playing ability. It can’t be done,” Connick once told an NPR interviewer. “I’ve played Chopin etudes, I’ve done the whole thing, but there is nothing harder than James.” He performs at 7:30 p.m., Aug. 6 at The Center for the Performing Arts.

Screen time and your health Commentary by David Pletzer, MD Mobile technology puts the world at our fingertips – literally. While there are many benefits to having news, inforwellness mation, entertainment and social media on demand, studies now show that increasing amounts of “screen time” can have a negative impact on personal health. Research conducted by the National Institutes of Health reveals that extended exposure to screens of all types – TV, computers, smartphones, tablets and video games – increases the likelihood of weight gain and obesity and may cause attention-deficit issues. Anxiety and depression are also linked to excessive screen use because there is often no way for people to offset or “work through” the various stimuli received from these devices. Screen time can also affect quality and amount of sleep, which can lead to additional health concerns. It’s estimated that people of all ages spend an average of three hours a day just watching TV. That’s why it’s important for adults and parents to set limits on screen time. According to doctors and other health experts, children under two should not spend any time watch-

ing TV or using screens. Children and adults should limit screen time to just two hours per day, excluding time needed for school or work. Setting guidelines as a family will help everyone maintain good screen-time habits. Most physicians recommend discontinuing use of screens at least an hour before bed and during mealtime. It’s important for parents to act as good role models for their children by abiding by screen-time limits. There are other ways to counteract the effects of screen time: Get moving. People are nearly always sedentary during screen time. Commit to getting at least one hour of moderate exercise each day to stay healthy. Encourage socialization. Some screen time can be beneficial – especially when associated with a family or social activity. Interactive video games and family movie nights are ways that screens can help promote conversation, learning and togetherness. David Pletzer, MD, specializes in family medicine. He is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Primary Care – Allisonville, 11530 Allisonville Rd., Ste. 190, in Fishers. He can be reached by calling the office at 678.3850.

St.Vincent applied MissionPoint

By Navar Watson • news@currentinwestfield.com MissionPoint Health Partners has teamed up with St.Vincent to further the company’s ministry of high-quality, healthcare holistic care – already helping 72,000 people in Indiana since the partnership began Jan. 1. St.Vincent is applying MissionPoint’s Population Health Management model, which strives to see better patient outcomes, lower the costs of healthcare and improve patient satisfaction. The goal is to idenAsher tify patients as people, not illnesses. “Historically, health care in the United States has been very transactional. You come into the hospital when you’re sick, we make you better,” Dr. Richard Fogel, chief clinical officer of St.Vincent, said. “We’re going to continue to do that, but we also want to prevent you from coming into the hospital.” The model comes in two parts. The first identifies sick and vulnerable people within a population and provides the resources they

need. The second identifies people who are well and keeps them well. Fogel outlined the three teams implementing this model. The transition team cares helps people transitioning from one level of care to another (e.g. hospital to home). The ambulatory team keeps patients healthy, and the integrative care team deals with needs outside the scope of “traditional doctor things,” like transportation to a doctor’s appointment or money for antibiotics. MissionPoint works to eliminate these barriers, Fogel identifying them through personal interactions with people, either through home visits or wellness programs. Fogel said he is excited to start implementing more measures catering to patients’ needs, such as same-day appointments, online scheduling and extended hours for busy people. “The beautiful thing about the model is it works for everybody,” he said. “It works for the Medicare person who has multiple medical needs; it works for the mom who has sick children. It is scalable and flexible.”

Turbulent markets ahead? Commentary by Joe Clark

Dispatches

large companies. That doesn’t guarantee gloomy investment weather ahead, but it must change course or other storms will arrive. Alert 2: Volatile sectors. The S&P 500 index is composed of nine sectors representing different parts of the economy. Variance in returns among the sectors is another alert. As I write this column, the S&P 500 index is up 3 percent year-to-date. The healthcare portion is up more than 12 percent while the energy sector is down more than 9 percent! Though it’s not unusual to see vast differences between best and worst performing sectors; according to Adam O’Dell, editor of the Cycle 9 Alert, the relative spread between the two coupled with overall meager returns on the index suggests market volatility could be in the forecast. The defensive sectors – the ones that tend to do the best relatively in times of economic struggles – are also the current out performers. With weather and investing, stay alert to changing conditions.

Hoosiers are familiar with weather warnings, especially “flash floods” this summer. Unfinance fortunately, however, we don’t receive similar alerts regarding our retirement accounts. Just as weather changes quickly, so do the markets. The two issues discussed below are merely warning signs that things could change abruptly. These “alerts” stem from a lack of market participation as measured in terms of breadth and the range between various sectors within our economy. Alert 1: A few big players. The S&P 500 is market capital weighted. The formula for market cap is one share of a company’s stock multiplied by the number of shares outstanding or owned by investors. There are companies with billions of shares outstanding and others with millions so the price of one share reveals little about market capitalization. Ideally, we would see many individual S&P 500 stocks posting new highs as the index reaches new levels. That’s not happening now. When we compare the market cap weighted S&P 500 versus the same stocks but equally weighted, we find vast differences in performance. The equal weight stocks are dramatically underperforming the cap-weighted index, showing that the current market is being led by a handful of

‘Perpetrate’ or ‘perpetuate’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Here is one you might want to comment on: Does someone perpetrate a fraud or perpetuate a grammar guy fraud – or does it depend on how long he/ she intends to do it?” – (Wayne Sturtevant) Answer: Thanks for the question, Wayne. It’s funny you should mention fraud… The Grammar Guy column has been on a bit of a hiatus these last few weeks as I was in South Bend covering a trial dealing with, of all things, murder and insurance fraud. I suppose it makes sense to resume my grammar musings where my trial coverage left off. At any rate, what we have here are nearhomophones that both come to us from Latin. “Perpetrate” derives from the Latin perpetrare, or “to perform.” On the other hand, “perpetuate” comes from perpetuare, meaning “to make permanent.” You can tell from those definitions, I imag-

ine, that “perpetrate” is going to be the appropriate word generally when dealing with crime. You perpetrate a heist. You perpetrate identity theft. You might even perpetrate some jaywalking, if you’re feeling really rebellious. Fraud is an interesting example, though, because unlike many other crimes which are encapsulated into a small timeframe, fraud can continue on at length. That means once the fraud is in place, you would be totally appropriate to say you are “perpetuating” a fraud. Of course, you would “perpetrate” it in the first place – something has to already be in action before you can perpetuate it. All that being said, crime is bad and you shouldn’t do it … although I might be able to overlook jaywalking. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@ gmail.com.

Estonia was born singing Commentary by Don Knebel

Teacher of the Month!

ATTENTION, STUDENTS!

Send a 100-word essay (along with your name, address and phone number) about why your teacher should win the Market District/Current in Geist honor, to teacher@youarecurrent.com. The winning teacher will receive a gift from Market District, and your classroom will be treated to goodies from Market District. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 11.

Estonia is a tiny country along the Baltic Sea. In a very real way, the country was born singing. travel Beginning in the 13th century, the region of Estonia, lying north of Latvia and west of Russia, was ruled by Denmark, Poland, Sweden and finally, Russia. Residents, most of them peasants, considered themselves “country people,” bound to whichever foreign power controlled them. In 1857, Johann Voldemar Jannsen, publisher of the first Estonian language newspaper, began calling his readers “Estonians.” He and his daughter then organized a “song fest,” held in June 1869 in Tartu. About 12,000 people listened for two days as an 822-member choir sang folk songs, encouraging Estonians to see themselves as a separate people. After four more festivals, the event moved to Tallinn, Estonia’s largest city. The sense of national identity and cohesion created by the song fests led to Estonia’s declaration of independence from Russia in 1918. In 1940, the Soviet Union took control of Estonia, along with the other Baltic states of Latvia and Lithuania. The Tallinn song fests continued, with Russian songs added. An enormous stage,

holding 15,000 singers, was built on a hillside above the harbor. In September 1988, 300,000 Estonians, nearly one-fourth of the country’s population, assembled before and on the Tallinn stage. They sang patriotic songs, raised the banned Estonian flag and demanded independence, leading to sustained protests in what became known as the “Singing Revolution.” On August 20, 1991, Estonia, called the “singing nation,” successfully declared its independence as the Republic of Estonia. Every five years, more than 100,000 people
