Population should hit pre-census projections By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com While the city is still awaiting final word from the US Census Bureau, local officials growth are expecting for Fishers’ official population numbers to exceed projections of 86,000 residents from before the city’s partial special census. Local enumerators wrapped up their counting the week of July 11. The US Census Bureau has been processing the numbers and doing Gutierrez statistical analysis ever since, and was at 94 percent completion the last time the bureau updated the city on its status in July. “We are projecting to be at least at the target we projected, which was 86,000, but we're hopeful that number might be slightly George higher,” Fishers Controller Oscar Gutierrez said. “At the bare minimum, we'll hit that target number and all of the projections about what our additional revenues should

be should actualize.” Those revenues are expected to total nearly $2 million in state revenues dependent on population. The city had approximately 76,000 residents during the 2010 federal census. “Our motor vehicle highway revenues, which go directly to road infrastructure, will increase,” Gutierrez said. “And the amount of liquor licenses the city can have will increase. That will allow for additional potential economic development that couldn't otherwise
Zoning changes addressed for I-69 corridor between 106th, 116th By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com
On the cover
The districts of the city colored orange or yellow were specifically targeted for Fishers’ partial special census, which should give the city an official population of more than 86,000. (Submitted map)
When a pair of ordinances were approved by the Fishers City Council May 16 requiring growth any new development along I-69 between 106th and 116th streets to go before the council for approval, they were designed to be temporary measures in effect for 120 days. Those ordinances expire Sept. 12, but city leadership planned to introduce a new ordinance at McGrath the Aug. 15 city council meeting to update and streamline the corridor’s zoning and building standards. “We’ll introduce something at the August council meeting and then work it through the process,” Fishers Deputy Mayor Leah McGrath said. “It would go to the plan commission in September and then hopefully back to the council in September as well.” New standards and zoning will encourage the city’s vision for I-69 between 106th and 116th as a corporate corridor and job creator. “We’re excited to have IKEA and TopGolf coming in, but we want to make sure that we maintain the vision of this corridor to really be a corporate corridor for our community and to make sure that it’s
come in.” The city opted to conduct a partial special census rather than a full one, picking and choosing parts of Fishers where high growth had been since the 2010 census. “The full census would have cost $1.4 million,” Fishers Deputy Controller Nathan George, who oversaw the project as well as the city’s 2007 special census, said. “This only cost $400,000.” The logistics involved hiring more than 50 employees, including one federal employee to serve as a supervisor. “All of the office staff and the supervisor were all Fishers residents, and I think a majority of the people we hired were Fishers residents, so they were really invested in their community,” George said. Once Fishers’ new population becomes official, the city will — albeit likely briefly — be the fifth-largest in the state. “We will briefly be the fifth-largest city in Indiana until Carmel does their census and they'll likely surpass us again,” Gutierrez said.

a key employment node for business office space and ultimately places for people who live in and around Fishers to work someday,” McGrath said. “In doing that, we wanted to take a look at the zoning to kind of make sure we raise the standards and make sure we’re getting the uses we want or don’t want in that area. “We recognize that retail is a component of that and you need some degree of retail to help support the employment nodes, but we’re really focusing on that as a secondary use,” she added. “The retail that comes in needs to be supportive of the employment nodes there. We’re aren’t looking at more big-box retail; what we’re looking at is more thoughtful and well-planned opportunities.”
Construction continues on the end supports of two new 106th Street bridges that will carry traffic over I-69. (Submitted photo) THIS WEEK: There should be no lane closures on I-69 at 106th Street as long as recent weather hasn’t caused work to not be completed as scheduled. Crews will be working to prepare for setting beams of the new 106th Street bridges over I-69. NEXT WEEK: During overnight hours beginning as early as Aug. 22, multiple lane closures and rolling slowdowns of traffic will be needed for approximately two weeks as beams are set.

Fortville music festival raising funds for 4p- Support Group By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Kammy’s Kause, a two-day music festival and major fundraiser for the event worldwide support group of a rare disease, returns to Fortville’s American Legion Park Aug. 19 and 20. The event was founded by Fortville resident Jared Hiner 13 years ago and raises money for the 4pSupport Group. Hiner’s 14-year-old daughter, Kamdyn, was diagnosed with 4p- when she was about one month old. “With the money we're Hiner able to raise and donate directly to them, they can channel it into research and they can help other families we don't have access to,” Hiner said. To date, Kammy’s Kause has raised more than $280,000 for the 4p- Support Group. A rare chromosome disorder, 4p- is also known as Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome and causes mild to severe physical handicaps and developmental delays. According to the 4p- Support Group,
there have been just approximately more than 600 individuals diagnosed with 4p- in the past 20 years. The goal for this year’s Kammy’s Kause is to raise $65,000. Eight bands will perform across two stages Aug. 19 before 17 more play Aug. 20. Gates open at 6 p.m. Aug. 19, with music from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Gates open at 11 a.m. Aug. 20 before music resumes at noon. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children 12 and younger, and are good for both days and include parking and access to tents-only camping.

Camp celebrates Korean culture, adoption By Daniel Lee • news@currentinfishers.com The Korean Presbyterian Church of Indiana held its annual Camp Kwajok, or family “Camp family,” July 23 in Fishers. On this day, families who have adopted Korean children gather to learn about and experience Korean culture. “Korean adoptive families want to know something about their children’s culture, and in this way we are helping them get to know what the Korean mindset, food and language are like,” Coordinator Kim Kwon said. Most adoptive families are American, and many do not understand their kids’ backgrounds. Camp Kwajok helps families overcome this barrier and bond. Basically, the camp is a crash course geared to opening families up and helping them accept each other. “I think the first time, (adopters) are not very open-minded. But now we have had more than 10 years to do Camp Kwajok. Even though we meet only once a year, we know each other and we are like family,” Kwon said. Since Camp Kwajok opened its doors in
Camp Kwajok organizers Tara Vander Woude and Kim Kwon. Local Koreans gather with the families of adopted Korean children each year to teach families about Korean culture and traditions. (Submitted photo)
2007, attendance has grown. Every year, new families join the camp, and families that have attended in past years join as well. Camp Kwajok is open to anyone who wants to experience Korean culture. “Since we live in America, our kids don’t know much about Korean culture, so this is a good opportunity to teach them. Even us adults learn so many things throughout Camp Kwajok. I think this is a benefit for Korean adoptive families and Koreans in America,” Kwon said.

the vehicle. The car struck a utility pole and inverted several times before coming to a stop in a used car lot in the 8900 block of Pendleton Pike. An Aug. 8 post-mortem examination at the Marion County Coroner’s Office showed multiple blunt-force trauma injuries caused Morefield’s death, and investigators have determined he was not wearing a seatbelt.
While toxicology results are still pending, investigators have not discovered any obvious indications of impairment. Investigators do believe excessive speed may have been a contributing factor. An adult female passenger in the vehicle, who was wearing a seatbelt, was transported to a local area hospital in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.

Prevail gala set for Aug. 27 By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Prevail of Hamilton County will host its 2016 Signature Gala Aug. 27 at FUNDRAISER the Renaissance Hotel in Carmel. The nonprofit organization exists to educate and engage county residents about domestic abuse and helps to restore the lives of those affected and their families. The funds raised go toward assisting clients, and a fundraising goal has been set at $150,000. In 2015, the gala raised $147,000 for Prevail’s programs that served more than 2,500 victims of crime and abuse. “Prevail is unique in that we offer services to all victims of violent crime and abuse, including men, women, teens and children,” said Natasha Robinson, Prevail public relations coordinator. “Intimate partner violence, also known as domestic violence, is a large portion of what we see, but we also work with a growing number of sexual assault victims, identity theft, bank robbery, human trafficking, elderly abuse, secondary victims of murder and more.” A silent auction will kick off the event from 6 to 7:15 p.m. Seating for dinner begins at 7:15 p.m., and the program and live auction will begin at 7:30 p.m., followed by celebration and dancing to The Bishops from 8:30 to 11 p.m. “Our goal is to move our clients from victim to survivor and then on to be a thriver,” Robinson said. “As of 2016, we have also been

working heavily toward the goal of prevention. This means working with our communities to educate them on what it means to be healthy so that incidences of violence become less and less frequent. Ultimately, our big goal is to put ourselves out of business because the community will be safe and will no longer need victim support services.” Tickets are $125 per person and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations may be made by calling 317-773-6942 or by visiting prevailinc.com. Tickets can also be purchased at the Prevail office at 1100 S. Ninth St., Suite 100, Noblesville.

First family of
Gardening
By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Tucked away at 9890 N. Mollenkopf Rd., Geist Nursery has remained a hidden gem of the Geist area while also being a family and area tradition for nearly 40 years. cover story Fred Richwine, a Noblesville native with degrees in landscape design, purchased the five-acre property to found Geist Nursery upon returning to the Indianapolis area in 1977. “Nobody was coming out here, but this property was on the market,” Richwine said. “I had spent the past eight or nine years in upstate New York, western Massachusetts, Boston, and was doing architectural restoration and was getting my graduate degree in landscape architecture. “Before I moved back here, I had called my brother and asked if there were any farm houses (available),” he added. “I tried to find something in western Massachusetts, but I’d just gotten out of graduate school and couldn’t afford anything. He said there was this property out at Geist.” “From then on, he spent like the last 30 years restoring the house, building the business, doing landscaping, opening the garden center and all that,” said Whitney Klein, Fred and Sarah Richwine’s daughter, who joined the family business in 2003 after graduating from Indiana University. She is also Geist Nursery’s garden center manager.

Three generations keep Geist Nursery, area gardens growing
Whitney and her husband Andrew’s 5-year-old son Levi is the family’s third generation to call the property home. But his experience growing up in the house with the family business is vastly different from Whitney’s. “When I was real young we slept in the parlor because that’s where it was warm, because there was a wood-burning stove,” she said. “It’s come a long way since then. It’s so different. Now we have the retail and garden center, we have a lot more people coming and going, and it’s just so different around us. He’s growing up with a lot more going on around.” New neighborhoods and housing developments over the years have slowly chipped away at the more rural experience Whitney grew up with. “I loved it. It was really fun to grow up here because you’re out in the middle of nowhere, and my backyard was these empty cornfields,” she said. “It was just like typical country life. You’d go out in the cornfields and play ‘corn tag’ or other games and pick stuff to make stews for my mom or whatever. There wasn’t much out here. In the mid-’80s they built a few (neighborhoods), but before that it was all cornfields and soybeans.” Today, the property includes the restored and expanded original house, most of which was destroyed in a 2010 fire, and a barn that can house weddings or other special events. It also has a one-acre garden full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and the main garden and flower retail center.
Three generations of the Richwine family have lived and worked at Geist Nursery since Fred Richwine, left, began the family landscaping and garden business in 1977.

Rising From the Ashes
The Richwine and Klein family home is believed to have been built in the 1890s. It was in rough shape when Fred Richwine purchased the property in 1977, but the Geist Nursery founder completely restored the home to livable conditions. “It ended up in my hands because (the previous owners) couldn’t get it mortgagable, so we came in and restored the house as best we could and cleaned up the property and got a mortgage on it. That’s how it all started.” The family has researched the house’s history, and a stash of letters dated as far back as 1890 were found in a wall during an addition to the home. They revealed an Anna Brown once lived there. “We’ve always tried to figure out who Anna Brown was,” said Whitney Klein, Fred’s daughter and Geist Nursery manager who grew up in the house. A house fire in December of 2010 destroyed part of the family’s home, as well as many of their belongings and documented history of the property. But just as he did when he purchased the home, Richwine rebuilt and restored the house while also expanding its footprint two feet in most directions. “He tried to keep the original integrity of the house. We just made it a little bit bigger and newer,” Klein said. Fires over the years have also claimed a pair of barns on the property. The current barn was rebuilt in the early ‘90s following an arson fire. As they later did with their house, the family used fire as an opportunity to expand, constructing the next barn bigger and better as buildings have continued to rise from the ashes as the family business has grown.

Tania Castroverde Moskalenko at The Palladium in Carmel. (File photo by Amy Pauszek)
Good luck, Tania When Tania Castroverde Moskalenko was whispered to be the new chief executive officer of the Center for the Performing Arts nearly five years ago, we were excited about the future of the campus. Her proven leadership and fiscal expertise, as well as prowess with respect to bookings and staff and funding development in suburban Memphis, were exactly what the Center required. Now that she is headed to Roosevelt University in a similar position at the fabled Chicago Auditorium, we believe the Center is in a terrific position to be taken farther down the trails she blazed. Chicago’s gain is our loss, certainly, but we’re grateful for her accomplishments, and we know the auditorium is in excellent hands. Whoever is tapped to replace Tania will have some rather large boots to fill. Hers has been a job very well done, and although we are sorry to see her go, we’re confident interim CEO Jeff McDermott and the search committee will find a candidate to carry on what she launched. Good luck, Tania, and knock ‘em dead! Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@youarecurrent.com.

The Babbling Brood Commentary by Terry Anker The famed Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart once mused that, “To talk well and eloquently is a very great art, but that an equally great one is to know the right moment to stop.” Much like his music, Mozart makes the point here in a concise and eloquent matter. Like many artists, he has keen insight into the human condition. We tend to be a talkative lot. From the very youngest age, we learn that our ability to communicate enables us to gain control of the world around us. Mom, dad and big brother will help us fulfill our desires if we can only convince them to do so. It is like having control over a platoon of giants! As we grow a bit older, and taller, we find that nuanced language can be a powerful tool to achieve even greater influence over, to paraphrase theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, the hearts and minds of men. We come to know the authority that is found in an effective turn of phrase. To be sure, folks
can only be influenced if they generally have a predilection to follow a belief. But some of us have become trained experts hired to affect public opinion. For a fee, we are willing to craft messages designed to carefully manipulate what is thought about a person, place, or thing – think political candidates, Carmel roundabouts, or school funding referendum. If Mozart is on to something, can we talk too much? Can we brow-beat our fellow humans into disagreement simply by demanding their compliance with too great a fervor? And in the noisy world of nearly universal Internet access and social media, do we ensure that the messages carried are increasingly shrill? Since the babbling brood of “experts” is unlikely to shut up, is it best simply to tune out? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.”
– Christopher Morley
One of the things my family teases me about, besides my love of well-done steak, is my almost freakish commithumor ment to eight hours of sleep. I frequently pass on oncein-a-lifetime experiences in favor of crawling into bed at 9 p.m. If that’s not nerdy enough, I also occasionally put on my math teacher hat and calculate my probability of getting a good night’s sleep. My POGNS. I’ve found that knowing ahead of time my chances of sleeping eliminates anxiety and ensures remedial measures (PM pills or AM coffee) are in place. Here are a few of the factors that come into play: Kids/pets: In our house, the likelihood of a child or an animal coming into our bedroom is high. Nightmares, storms, the cat’s strange desire to lick my hair . . . you name it. So my chances of a restful eight hours based purely on the kid/pet factor is 6/7. Husband: Doo radiates heats like a, well, a radiator. And he snores. Usually a pillow wall will do the trick, but sometimes there is no protection. POGNS: 4/5. Me: Illness, anxiety, hunger and my mad hearing skills keep me awake about three times a month. POGNS: 9/10. Lady parts: On certain days, fluctuating hormones can result in the sleep quality of a heroin addict in detox. POGNS: 5/6 Miscellaneous: Raccoons in the attic, teenagers’ kitchen rummagings, Tooth Fairy shenanigans . . . I never know what fun nocturnal surprises lie in wait. POGNS: 72/73. (I know this seems like a random fraction, but trust me on this. I’m a math teacher!) Let’s say we only have decaf and I’m wondering if I need to make a grocery run at 8:30 p.m. I calculate the POGNS for all applicable categories and determine that the likelihood of my getting a good night’s sleep is 67.6 percent. Not bad enough for a Benadryl, but not good enough to risk a caffeine-free morning. To Meijer I go. Potential disaster averted. See? So yes, I may be nerdy and prefer charred beef, but at least I’m using my powers for good. Peace out.

Persons of Character Commentary by Rev. Michael VandenBerg Are you a character, or are you a person of character? I was reminded recently of religion the foundational virtues that distinguish a person of character. These values, given to us by Aristotle and Plato in millenniums past, have been treasured throughout civilization but in our day seem to have lost their importance. These treasured values are: • Prudence – Insight into what is important in life, and then living based on these insights. • Restraint – Exercising careful control over our actions, speech, thoughts, emotions and reactions. • Courage – The mental strength that enables us to face life’s trials utilizing the other virtues. • Justice – Doing the right thing for the right reasons. My suspicion is that if we would encounter a person “of character,” instead of just another “character,” we would stand in awe. The rarity in our day is disheartening. Unlike generations before us, we seem to now relish the loud, the outrageous, the strange and the rude. We no longer feel the need to exercise restraint when we oppose the
views of others, or compassion when we encounter those who are different than we. We see this in politics as we attack not only the issues someone stands for, but also the person. We see it in religion as we throw off the wisdom of generations past as being outdated, irrelevant and most egregiously out of fashion. We see this in cultural interactions as we no longer see the value of spirited discourse because it violates our highest value, that being tolerance. I am not a prophet, but don’t need to be to see that if we as a nation continue down this road, the result will not be to our liking. The causality of discarding virtue will result in the effect of even greater fragmentation of our society, the demise of all civility and, ultimately, hope. But I believe we can rise above this momentary diversion and again become “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” 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 more than 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.
A quick case for faith Commentary by Pastor Mike Colaw I love studying science! People like Hugh Ross or Stephen Hawking leave me in awe of how massive the universe is. religion I recently watched a welldone video portraying just how small we are. Not only small in size, but also small in duration. It really is hard to wrap our minds around just how little we really are. All of humanity, every subject studied, every structure we have built, everything we have done in the physical world is so small. We are but a micro-sized dot compared to the size of the “known” universe. King Solomon was right; the greatest of our accomplishments is really nothing. It has equally been interesting in the development of the quantum sciences, specifically quantum mechanics, to discover just how little we know about the “laws” of the universe. It seems like every journal coming out is littered with this idea: “We thought we had the answer, but it turns out we were wrong.” There is something that bleeds out of this scientific research that really is more akin to
philosophy — something guys like Notre Dame’s Alvin Plantinga (Emeritus) or C.S. Lewis have long picked up on: the assertion that there is not a being that stands above us is just as much an act of faith as believing there is. Moreover, if you choose to believe only in what has been proven as absolute 100 percent “fact,” the field of what can be believed is shrinking as scientific steps forward not only challenge what we know, but show ever more how little we really know. The brightest of us are but babies wading a few inches off the shore of the ocean of knowledge. Faith is absolutely a necessity, for both spiritual and scientific claims. The Bible doesn’t teach that faith is an answer given by weakminded people. It teaches that faith is a state of being human, and what you choose to put your faith in and why you chose it matters a lot. Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

The many uses for floss Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I have steadfastly accepted as fact anything preceded by the words “They say….” They say breakfast is the humor most important meal of the day; they say you should drink seven glasses of water daily; they say you should wait 30 minutes after eating to go swimming. Luckily, all of these directives have proven false. But I am most delighted by this latest debunking: No proof that daily flossing prevents cavities and gum disease. Flossing has never been very popular. Here are some common excuses people give for not flossing. I am not coordinated enough: I get that. When I first started flossing, I made the mistake of doing it while looking in the mirror. I was punching myself in the nose three or four times a week. I am pregnant: This is a feeble excuse, especially since 35 percent of the people saying it were men. I have perfect teeth, no food ever gets stuck in my teeth, my teeth are amazing: Well, he’s not my choice for the next president, but I do think this guy has a good set of choppers.
Consumers spend two billion dollars a year on dental floss, about a half-million yards of the stuff, or enough to go around the earth 20 times. But remember that a lot of that halfmillion yards was used as emergency shoelaces, fishing line and picture hangers. There’s actually a blog called 1,001 ways to use dental floss. It includes lots of clever ideas, but strangling someone or using it for a prison break do not speak to my personal needs. Dental floss was invented by Levi Spear Parmly in the early 1800s. His wife thought his idea needed some tweaking. “Look, Levi, instead of your invention, how about making tiny, pointy wooden sticks that you can pick your teeth with? You could call them Spear Picks. Clever, huh?” “Better let me do the thinking, dear. And that other idea of yours, making pants out of denim and calling them Levi’s? I don’t think that will fly, either.”

City needs more smoking laws Editor, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently published data about state and local comprehensive smoke-free laws in the United States in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. A comprehensive smoke-free law prohibits smoking in all indoor areas and protects nonsmokers from involuntary secondhand smoke exposure. While the report notes significant progress in states and the District of Columbia adopting statewide comprehensive smoke-free laws between 2000 and 2010 — increasing from zero to 26 — there have only been two states to implement a comprehensive smoke-free law in the past six years. Indiana is one of the 24 states that fail to protect all of its residents and workers from secondhand smoke. While the 2012 Indiana state smoke-free air law was a step forward, many Hoosiers are vulnerable to the dangers of secondhand smoke exposure. The report also highlights the importance of smoke-free laws at the local level. When
including estimates from local Indiana statewide laws, about 30 percent of Hoosiers are currently protected from secondhand smoke in all indoor venues. Thankfully, local Indiana municipalities still have the power to protect their residents from secondhand smoke. Earlier this year, the South Bend Common Council passed a comprehensive local ordinance. I encourage the leaders in Fishers to consider an ordinance that would protect all community residents from exposure to secondhand smoke. This is an opportunity for Fishers to take the lead in making Hamilton County even healthier. Let’s make smoke-free air for all a reality.

New lung cancer therapy – Lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer in the country, but a new treatment, called immunotherapy, is giving hope to lung cancer patients because of its recent success. Lung cancer is poorly recognized by the immune system, which delays diagnosis until patients are at stage 3 or 4, when it’s too late. Immunotherapy activates the immune system to help the body recognize the cancer earlier. For more information, visit www. lung.org. Source: American Lung Association

Dinner to showcase locally raised hogs By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Matt Hayden always wanted to raise his kids on a farm, but didn’t know if it would be possible in Hamilfamily fun ton County — his new home since 2013. Three years ago, Hayden and his wife, Natalie, sent their second son to college and decided it was time to leave California and move to Indiana to raise their two youngest children. Natalie, a yoga instructor, opened Body Mind & Core in Carmel on Range Line Road. Hayden loves the yoga studio and the schools in Hamilton County, but now he feels like his move is complete. In November, the couple purchased 10 acres of farmland in Fishers at E. 136th Street and Cyntheanne Road. Hayden, who grew up baling hay and showing pigs on a Southern Indiana farm, raises hogs at Hayden Family Farms. “It’s a dream come true,” he said. “We wanted to return our children to this upbringing, this way of life. And now we’re selling our products and really engaged in the community.” The family moved into the farm in May, and Hayden is now raising a special kind of hog that is unique not only in Indiana, but nationwide. He’s imported Mangalitsa pigs, a wooly Hungarian breed of pig known for its high-quality fat content. The fat on these pigs is so flavorful — and healthier when it comes to fatty acids — that they are sought after for the production of charcuterie meats and sausages. This small-scale family-run farm has begun to sell its pigs to The Pig’s Tale, a local charcuterie company started by professional cooks George Turkette and Troy Reed. Gathering around the table Hayden Family Farms began putting on monthly farmstead dinners called “The Table” on the second Sunday of each month, featuring local chefs using Hayden’s hogs in every dish of the special meal, with Reed and Turkette charcuterie. Peace Water Winery in Carmel partnered with Hayden for

the June and July events, and Sun King Brewery paired beers at the August dinner. The next dinner will be Sept. 11. Tickets cost $85 and can be purchased through Hayden Family Farms’ Facebook page. Previous dinners featured Valerie Vanderpool from Girlie Gourmet and Spoke & Steele chef Tyson Peterson. Tulip Tree Creamery in Indianapolis, which purchases its milk from Lot Hill Dairy Farm in Seymour, Ind., is also a partner for these events. Attendees get to taste dishes made with items from Hayden’s farm. In addition to pigs, which Hayden raises nearly on his own with occasional help from his 4-year-old son Thomas, the farm also produces eggs, herbs, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, carrots, cucumbers and more. Dinner guests also get to see the hogs. Hayden loves to talk about the years of work that went into finding just the right pig to produce his cuts of meat. His journey actually led him to cross-breed three different types of pigs to create the best product. Finding the best breed When Hayden first imported Mangalitsa pigs, he consulted
with local friends, including Joe Lazzarra of Joe’s Butcher Shop in Carmel, and Craig Baker of The Local and Plow and Anchor, restaurants in Westfield in Indianapolis. They both said they love the taste, but economically these pigs don’t make a lot of sense for a small market because there’s not enough protein on the carcass of the pig. “I decided I needed to change the fat-to-protein ratio, so I began to cross-breed the pigs to make it viable economically,” Hayden said. He worked with agriculture professors at Purdue University to cross-breed Mangalitsa pigs with Berkshire pigs to add protein to the body. But those pigs have small snouts, which means they don't forage well and eat from a pasture, which is important for proper diet and growth. So Hayden also crossbred with some Gloucestershire spotted pigs for the snout. Once the pigs are grown, Hayden switches the animals to a special diet of pulverized apples from Tuttle Orchards and spent barley from local breweries such as Danny Boy, Sun King and Four Day Ray. “The cross-breeding, combined with our diet, creates a pig that truly delivers a high-quality flavor,” he said. Hayden said dinners are planned through October, and he’s been selling some pork chops and other cuts at the Carmel Farmers Market on Saturdays. Reed and Turkette are planning events on Aug. 20 and Oct. 14 at Hayden Family Farms to teach people how to butcher a whole hog through a hands-on approach. Hayden has even connected with local 4-H clubs in Hamilton County and has taught agriculture courses at Hamilton Southeastern High School. Hayden Family Farms has 50 hogs, but Hayden said he expects litters of about 10 every month. Hayden said he’s happy but surprised by the immediate growth of the farm. “At this point, I’m not looking for more buyers, I’m looking for more land,” he said.

BTI films to debut Aug. 27 By Desiree Williams news@geistcurrent.com The Ballet Theatre of Indiana hosted its first benefit last year. For the benefit this year, there will be one new addition: dance films. The event will take place at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 27 at the Evan Lurie Gallery in Carmel, 30 W. Main St. Stirling and Sabrina Matheson, co-artistic directors of BTI, were searching for ways to spread the word about their relatively young company, and they hoped to do so through online videos. They discussed combining dance and cinematography, which was the starting point for the film event. When the second season ended early, there was extra rehearsal time allotted for these video projects. “(The films) will not look like the stage version,” Stirling said. “Everything was made specifically for the videos we shot.” The benefit will feature four videos. There will be a short introduction to the company that was shot in various locations around the city. A music video for local singer Katie Pederson’s new album and a comical rendition of a staged audition also will be shown. Stirling said they are planning to shoot a film version of a ballet based on Edgar Allen Poe’s “Cask of Amontillado.”

“It’s fun to get a chance to see these new art projects and the sort of new branch of what we do as a company before anyone else in an exciting atmosphere,” Stirling said. In addition to the films, patrons can enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres while participating in a silent auction with donated items from local businesses. Tickets can be purchased online for $30. All profits from the tickets and silent auction will assist with BTI’s third season expenses.

Blueprint for Improvement: 1990s kitchen update Commentary by Larry Greene
Before Background info: The owners of this ’90s home, in the River Ridge subdivision in Fishers, were looking to update their kitchen. The kitchen was original to the home and wasn’t fulfilling their needs. The space wasn’t giving them a place to gather as a family. It wasn’t functional for entertaining.
Before problems: The kitchen was original to the home, and therefore, aesthetically, it needed an update! Every inch of the existing cabinet and counter top space was being utilized. This called for some new, functional, organizational solutions.
After
After solutions: The goal was to create more space and function in this kitchen, while keeping this family’s needs in mind. 1. A closet in the adjacent family room was removed to allow for more functional space planning. The refrigerator and oven moved to the former closet space, which allowed for other changes. 2. The move of the larger appliances allowed for new counter space near the range. This gave the family ample prep room they were looking for. 3. To create needed storage, cabinets and built-in shelving were added to the wall housing the larger appliances. The addition of this wall resulted in saving space and providing convenient access. 4. The island in the kitchen was rotated in order to give the homeowners pull-up seating. They were able to add counter stools to have a quick breakfast or more casual meals as a family.

One of those days?
Ma’loula, Syria, in November 2010 (Photo by Don Knebel)
The language of Jesus in Ma’loula Commentary by Don Knebel Until a few years ago, visitors to an ancient mountainside village in southwestern Syria could hear the words of Jesus in his own language. Today, those words have travel been temporarily silenced. Ma’loula (or Maaloula) was founded in about 90 A.D. in the Anti-Lebanon Mountains, 40 miles northeast of Damascus. Christianity came early to Ma’loula, which has maintained a Christian majority for at least 1,600 years. With a population never exceeding a few thousand, Ma’loula has been home to 40 churches. The Mar Sarkis Church, one of the oldest in the world, features a unique altar reminiscent of pagan altars, with raised edges for catching sacrificial blood. The adjoining Mar Sarkis monastery honors St. Sergius, a Roman soldier executed for following Jesus. Mar Thecla, another ancient monastery, claims the remains of St. Thecla, said to have been a follower of the apostle Paul. Because of its geographic isolation, Ma’loula’s residents still speak Western Ara-
maic, the ancient language Jesus spoke. For centuries, priests of the Mar Sarkis Church have recited the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic for visitors from around the world. In 2010, Ma’loula residents proudly said their motto was, “Everyone is Christian and everyone is Muslim.” Christian and Muslim women dressed the same, and both sought healing in Mar Thecla. Tragically, in 2013 and early 2014, extremist groups, including Al-Qaeda, took over Ma’loula and severely damaged Mar Sarkis and Mar Thecla and other monasteries and churches and looted their historic contents. They demolished a statue of Mary overlooking the city. In April 2014, Syrian government forces, assisted by Hezbollah, recaptured Ma’loula and initiated efforts to restore the damaged churches and monasteries and recover the looted items. A new statue of Mary again overlooks Ma’loula. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column, visit donknebel.com.

Vinegar to remove odors – If a room has a lingering odor because of some food you prepared, or you painted, try absorbing the odor with vinegar. Set a bowl of vinegar in the affected room for about 30 minutes. The odor should be much less noticeable. Source: RD.com
Clean gunky oven – For stubborn, baked-on oven gunk, try this. Set a bowl of ammonia in a cold oven. Close the door and let it sit overnight. By morning, the ammonia fumes will have loosened the crud so you can wipe it off with a sponge or paper towel. Source: RD.com
