Volunteers working on a fence during last year’s Day of Caring. (Submitted photos)

Church provides Day of Caring

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com In a flurry of giving back, New Hope Presbyterian Church members volunteer and other volunteers will descend on the Indianapolis area for the fourth annual “Day of Caring” on Sept. 20.

Last year, there were 430 volunteers working on 28 projects on the day sponsored by the Fishers church, 12550 Brooks School Rd. Mark Thacker, a deacon of New Hope and team leader of the event, said he expects 450 volunteers working on 31 projects. Three of the projects will be on other days.

“Some projects are inside the church, some are in Fishers and some are in Hamilton County and Marion County,” Thacker said.

The projects include helping out families in need, those who have lost a parent or have a member with cancer and haven’t been able to maintain the upkeep inside and outside.

“We’ll have 50 people who will be packing meal packets for kids (for Thrive360),” Thacker said. “It’s hard to believe but in that four hours they will make 20,000 meal packs.”

Fifty is the largest number of volunteers at one site.

Some of the other projects include hosting a brunch at a homeless shelter at the Kenneth Butler Memorial Soup Kitchen in Indianapolis, cleaning the Ronald McDonald House at Riley Hospital, making soft fleece blankets for the Megan S. Ott Foundation and The Cheer Guild for Riley and assembling bags of food and clothing for delivery to the homeless.

Two Servants at Work groups will construct handicapped wheelchair ramps at homes.

Swim club evaluations – Southeastern Swim Club, 13910 E. 126th St., is holding evaluations for new members who might be interested in giving swim team a try. Evaluations will be held from 6 to 8 p.m.

Aug. 25 and Sept. 2. Interested swimmers should come prepared to swim 25 yards freestyle with breathing to the side and backstroke. The evaluation and consultation will take about 15 minutes.

Volunteers needed – Chaucie’s Place, 4607 E. 106th St., Carmel, is seeking volunteers for the Smart Steps: A Body Safety Program for Children. Volunteers will learn to use a script developed specially for the program and shadow experienced instructors until they are ready to present on their own. Orientation will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 26. To register, visit www.chauciesplace. org/smart-steps-volunteer-instructor-orientationcarmel.

Volunteers gathered at New Hope Presbyterian Church.

Since the Day of Caring is on Sunday, New Hope will skip its two morning services. Registration starts at 8 a.m. The volunteers then meet at 8:30 a.m. before starting their projects.

“So instead of having worship services, everyone meets and goes off to their site,” Thacker said.

“We have a few worship songs, a prayer and a message for 15 minutes and then we send everyone to their respective area.”

Thacker said some of the seniors will pray for the work being done during the Day of Caring for one project. Another project will be providing day care at New Hope for volunteers who need to leave younger children.

“The events spans from infants to people in their 70s, 80s and 90s,” Thacker said.

There will be sign-ups for the project through Sept. 13.

“Or for some reason, if they just want to show up that morning, they can find me and I’ll find a place for them,” Thacker said.

For more information, visit newhopefishers.org/ serve/day-of-caring/.

Stewards of Children – Parents and adults who work with children can learn how to prevent child sexual abuse by registering for Stewards of Children. This program teaches adults how to prevent, recognize, and react to child sexual abuse.

Chaucie’s Place is offering this program from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Westfield Police Dept., 17535 Dartown Rd. Pre-registration is required and space is limited. For more information visit www.chauciesplace.org Seeking interns – Current is now seeking interns for the fall term. Interns will be able to write, report and take photos for the newspaper. College applicants may be able to receive credit. Interested applicants should email Editorial Director Sophie Pappas at sophie@youarecurrent.com.

Poet Laureate nominations – The Indiana Arts Commission is accepting nominations for Indiana State Poet Laureate. Nominations should be limited to one, single-page cover letter and a resume or CV detailing the nominee’s qualifications and accomplishments. Nominees must remain residents of the state during their two-year term of service as State Poet Laureate. Nominations should be sent to Sarah Fronczek at sfronczek@iac.in.gov by 4:30 p.m. Sept. 1.

WHAT TO EXPECT: NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE DECREE OR COURT ORDER In most, if not all family law cases, the finalization of the divorce/case does not mean that all matters related to the case have concluded. Rather, the entry of a Court Order finalizing the matter is only a Court decision (or approval of an agreement) as to how all matters related to the case will be handled. Each Court Order contains provisions which must then be enforced in order to effectuate the decision. In many cases all provisions are carried out without issue. However, in the event either party fails to comply with the terms of the Court Order, mechanisms exist to gain an individual’s compliance.

The Court can intervene after a party alleges noncompliance by the opposing party. Such an action can be initiated by filing (1) a Motion for Rule to Show Cause (commonly referred to as a “contempt” motion) notifying the Court of the issue. If the Court finds that the actions of one of the parties rises to the level of a contempt citation, a variety of penalties exist to punish the past actions and encourage future compliance with the Court Order. Parties would be well-advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with the enforcement of a Court Order as the remedies vary based upon the issue presented as well as the nature of the non-compliance itself.

Enforcement of Child Support. Pursuant to Indiana Law, there are potential civil and criminal penalties for the nonpayment of child support; failure to make support payments can have serious ramifications. As the receiver of support, you may request the Court exercise its power to hold the child support payor in contempt if they are not paying the correct amount in a timely manner. If the Court finds that the support obligations have not been met, the Court may order an award or attorney fees, order that the non-paying parent perform community service, attach additional payments to catch up the support, or even, in exceptional cases, order the temporary incarceration a non-payor of support. This is not a common outcome as, frequently, it is more counter-productive, putting that person in a position to lose their employment and lose their ability to make his/her child support payments.

Be aware, however, that the Court must consider whether the acts of the non-payor are willful; if the circumstances under which this person is not paying are beyond their control, the Court may not believe a contempt citation is proper.

Enforcement of Real Estate / Property Issues. If an unpaid obligation remains from a divorce, in lieu of seeking remedies as a contempt action, another option to explore is to seek an Order establishing the debt as a money judgment and enforcing it through regular collections proceedings. This change from divorce obligation to money judgment, generally, removes the contempt aspects and simply turns the debt into money with statutory interest and the ability to collect through wage and bank garnishments. This is a decision best made with careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of conversion. Additionally, when the terms of the decree are not strictly an amount owed, the option to convert to a money judgment is not appropriate. For example, if the parties agree to refinance a mortgage into one party’s name and that person subsequently does not qualify for the same, the third party (the creditor) cannot be ordered to comply with the Court Order. Therefore, the remedy requested will likely be to modify the terms of the Decree, and not to find the party in contempt.

Self Help. One common (and tempting) misnomer is to try and leverage the situation by other actions such as withholding parenting time or refusing to provide information as an “incentive” to the other party to meet their obligations. These actions risk the wrath of the Court and could very well subject you to penalties as well as overshadowing the failings of the other party in the eyes of a court. Whether the remedies available through a Court seem the most efficient and effective way to deal with these issues, it is imperative that parties in family law cases understand that two wrongs really don’t make a right and one parent retaliating against the other as a substitute for bringing the issue before the Court is not likely to be tolerated the Judge.

Compiled by James Feichtner news@geistcurrent.com Super Bowl pre-game and half-time shows are often a big hit broadcasting around the big game.

But the students at Mt. Vernon High School put on their own pre-game show on Aug. 21 before their home game.

As part of the school, the team of students will produce a 30 minute pre-game show where students will interview the MVHS Varsity Football Coach, Doug Armstrong, as well as some of the senior players. The sports anchors will be debating about the game, similar to pre-game shows for professional football.

Quaid Pearson will be the executive producer and director. Pearson has vast student experience in filming and directing MVTV shows and has been exposed to a whole new involvement with film making through the MVTV program.

“As a student in the MVTV program, I have been pushed extremely hard to make things better – to do things the right way,” Pearson said. “Before I became a part of this program, film/television was a mediocre hobby for me.

Students at Mt. Vernon are really offered a phenomenal program as well as a great atmosphere in to work.”

Tom Shaver, the technology education teacher and MVTV sponsor, believes the equipment and opportunities offered to students through MVTV programs give them an advanced learning experience in the field.

“I think that Mt. Vernon students have a great advantage that many other schools don’t have due to the fact that our students have these state-of- the-art facilities available to them. I am extremely excited and proud to be a part of their television and film education, and enjoy seeing where this experience takes them in life.”

Winter and construction seasons Commentary by Michael Vandenberg The old joke throughout Indiana and much of the Midwest is, “there are only two seasons here, winter and construcreligion tion”. Where I live off 82nd street, this has actually become a reality.

How many of us feel as though in our own personal lives we are feeling that there are only two seasons; winter or construction and neither of them seems preferable to the other? Do you feel as though you are stuck in the dark, cold, dreariness of winter depression? Do you feel as though life is one long battle for survival and you don’t seem to be on the winning side? Do you feel as though you are frozen into worn out patterns of living and just can’t seem to find a way out; no choices, no chances? Or perhaps you feel as though you have been in a constant rebuilding season, with what seems like one step forward in progress but then two steps back.

Whichever way you might feel right now, I want you to know that there is hope. Not the kind of hope that wishes things would be different, but the kind of hope that knows things can and will be different because those who have traveled before us have shown us a path that leads to the warm sunshine of summer, the fresh air of a new spring of living. In a letter to the fledgling church in Rome the Apostle Paul said “We also boast of our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance brings God’s approval, and his approval creates hope.”

Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for over 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@ indyhopecrc.org

Fishers residents open fitness concierge business

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jennifer and Desire Gabou come from bigtime athletic backgrounds. So it is fitting the Fishers residents bring the vitality first fitness concierge business to Indiana.

“For one flat fee, our members have unlimited fitness classes at 40 studios and gyms in the Central Indiana area,” Jennifer said.

The business, OPEN GYM, goes fully online on Sept. 8 and will be operated from Launch Fishers. Members sign up and see the whole schedule of offerings at various locations.

All the studios and gyms are independently owned in the area. Members pay a promotional fee $79 per month.

“They can book their class throughout the Indianapolis area through our technology,” Jennifer said. “The classes include everything from horseback riding, yoga, rock climbing and cycling. We offer all kinds of fun things to do in the area. This concept is wildly popular in the big cities.

Jennifer, 31, whose maiden name is Magley, played tennis at the University of Florida and professionally on the WTA Tour for about two years.

“It was really nice to see the world,” said Jennifer, who served as Florida Gulf Coast University women’s tennis coach.

Desire, 30, played professional basketball at the Ivory Coast. They met when her brother, D.J., and Desire, who is from Ivory Coast, were basketball teammates at Western Kentucky.

“He was a big-time dunker for Slam Nation (a French dunking team who performs),” said Jennifer. “So he was recruited to play at Western Kentucky even though he never played organized basketball before.”

Jennifer said the gym’s goal is to have classes all over the Indianapolis area. Most of the classes now are in Fishers, Carmel and north side of Indianapolis.

By Sam Elliott • news@currentinfishers.com The gardening space outside Holy Family Episcopal Church has come growth a long way from what it was when Joel Bruns first began the Fishers church’s project five years ago.

“We started with just three little raised garden beds that were maybe 4 feet by 8 feet,” he said. “We started out with a very small space and that was really just me and a few of the youth from the church who were doing that. Then that’s where the idea came that we could open it up to the whole community.”

The Holy Family Community Garden first welcomed area gardeners in 2011 and has expanded nearly every year since to now feature 60 plots measuring 5 feet by 15 feet across two locations at the church’s Fishers Pointe Boulevard property.

“We’ve sold out every year that we’ve had it and we’ve had a waiting list almost every year. It just seems like every year we have more and more people and we have people who come back year after year so we keep expanding,” Bruns said. “Then this year we also added what essentially is one really long

plot that has been used by the vestry of the church to grow things solely to donate to the food pantry.”

Providing fresh produce to the Come to Me Food Pantry at Fishers United Methodist Church is what first spurned the garden’s creation. Gardeners have also grown flowers that go on to be donated to area nursing homes and retirement communities.

“It’s always been part of our mission to use the garden as a way to help feed people in need in our community,” Bruns said. “Then when we opened it up to community members, we just asked on a voluntary basis that whatever gardeners grow they donate a portion back to the food pantry to continue that part of the mission.”

Holy Family also hosts monthly “Garden Talks” from the start of the growing season in April through October, led by gardener James Keith, with the training sessions touching on topics ranging from garden maintenance and fertilizer choices to canning vegetables.

The church is hosting its annual cookout to celebrate another growing season at 11 a.m.

Sept. 5, with gardeners encouraged to bring dishes using ingredients grown in the garden.

Geist's hidden

gem

Geist Park offers a secluded experience for nature enthusiasts

Troy Adams kayaks down Fall Creek River in Geist Park.

By Chris Bavender • news@geistcurrent.com In the suburban areas of Hamilton County, getting close to nature may prove to be harder than it would seem. But for Geist residents looking to discover a hidden haven of nature, one need only look to Fortville’s own Geist Park.

From hiking trails to multiple fishing cover story areas to a floating observation deck that extends out into the marsh, Geist Park offers something for everyone.

The land for Geist Park was acquired in 1992 and developed in 1999 - it’s officially been a Hamilton County park since then.

“It was donated by Patrick Verble and Indianapolis Water Co. in 1992 - along with $51,000 for development,” said Geist Park director Allen Patterson. “The land where the park is located is primarily wetland - non-buildable for homes, etc. - which makes it easier to acquire.”

Patterson The wetlands - along with the prairies - make the park a very important wildlife habitat, Patterson said. The “very wet ground” is home to very specific water-loving plants and animals and is protected by law.

The prairies with their open grass areas are planted with specific warm season plants such as Big and Little Bluestem, Indian Grass, Switch Grass, Coneflowers, Black-eyed Susan, Dropseed and other native grasses and plants.

“It’s a great wildlife habitat and food source,” Patterson said.

“All prairies have to be planted and maintained - they don’t occur naturally unless they were originally prairies hundreds of years ago and were left untouched.”

If you’re making a trip to Geist Park, don’t forget the binoculars. The park is known as a bird-watcher’s haven.

“This attracts different birds than your backyard would,” Patterson said. “It is also fairly secluded and provides more privacy for the birds. Great varieties of warblers, swallows and other

birds can be viewed during the bird migration season in May. Many bird species can be viewed year-round on or from this park, including ducks, geese, heron, egrets, cormorants, turkey vultures, Pileated Wood-peckers, hawks, and even Bald Eagles.”

In addition to birds, Patterson said visitors often report seeing Whitetail Deer as well as turtles sunning in the pond or along the creek.

The park also features two trail systems. One that runs through a shaded - but mostly open-area near the parking lot and another running through the woods and along the creek. “(Trails) go past the floating observation deck out to the tip of the property and ends with an open area on the point and a couple of benches,” Patterson said. “You then take the same trail back to the parking area. All total about a mile of trails.”

The park attracts more than 18,000 visitors a year, Patterson said. Dogs are also welcome at the park.

“As long as they are on a physical leash, and under control,” he said.

If you’re looking to picnic at the park, the shelter is available for rent from May 1 to Sept. 30. Fees are $50 a day for Hamil-

Born Feb. 25, 1927 Stanley is part of the first generation bluegrass musicians and has been inducted in the International Blue Grass Music Hall of Honor and the Grand Ole Opry. His work was featured in the 2000 film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” which won him a 2002 Grammy Award. Proceeds from all ticket sales went to help the Wheeler Mission.

Tuxedo Brothers Triathlon The three top winners took time to pose for “Where’s Amy?” minutes after crossing the finish line.

Drew Shellenberger, Indianapolis, and David Foresee and Mike Smith, both of Carmel. said they look forward to the friendly but fierce competition at the triathlons. (Photos by Amy Pauszek) “Where’s Amy?” …I was cheering my heart out for the amazing participants of the Eagle Creek Sprint/ Tuxedo Brothers Triathlon. Since 1984, Tuxedo Brothers of Zionsville have managed over 1,000 events that benefit service and charitable organizations. They have learned over their 30 years of experience that to be successful events must be fun and support a worthy cause. Runners Forum, a local Carmel running store, is a long time supporter of Tuxedo Brothers races and jumped at the opportunity to not only help sponsor the event but participate as well. The race was exciting and it was fun to witness the top male and female winners pour the traditional Chocolate Milk over their heads - thanks to the American Dairy Asscociation, who also donated hundreds of cold milk to all the participants and volunteers. I also enjoyed chatting with Kent King, director of community outreach at Endurance House located in Zionsville and Fishers. King’s tent was a popular hot spot for runners and was stocked with the latest running merchandise, education and fitness information for participants. “Where’s Amy?” had a blast capturing the day with photos and encourages everyone to attend a triathlon for inspiration.

Here’s to supergirl Jenni Berebitsky and her famous “J Team” members - It’s safe to say there was a sea of brown at the race and it was electrifying.

Got milk???... Chocolate milk that is! I loved talking with Ron “The Milkman” and Jenni Browning, senior director of communications and wellness for the American Dairy Association of Indiana. They donated hundreds of ice cold bottles of Chocolate Milk for participants and volunteers.

I loved meeting these two lovely ladies - Community Hospital family doctor Susan Helsel and her daughter, Olivia. They told me they had a wonderful day and it was thrilling to experience the race together. They both worked hard and trained in Carmel where Helsel works.

A language of love

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P

Republicans: Such kidders!

We were semi-amused by a remark last week that indicated Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) shouldn’t feel overly troubled by the FBI having her computer server, because among the fervent Democrats nationally, she has “extreme enthusiasm” on her side from 33 percent. Oh, and 58 percent of Republican respondents indicated that the GOP would have a better shot at the White House were Donald Trump (R-Billions) not a candidate.

Keep in mind, we wrote “Republicans,” the party of the spineless.

••• Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) is campaigning for the presidency on a number of points, including last week’s declaration that he will repeal ObamaCare (all of it), ensuring affordable and accessible health insurance for everyone. Of course, he will. There is zero percent chance of that happening with the liberal-dominated GOP. They fritter away such opportunity at every turn.

••• One of us traveled to and from coastal Virginia in the last week, and, as one might do when venturing forth from the homestead, there were comparisons made and noted.

First of all, the folks encountered in Virginia were as genial as they come. That, unfortunately, was contrasted by a number of rude and inwardly focused locals at LaGuardia International Airport in New York City. Reminds us of the old line: “Excuse me, sir, would you please tell me the time, or should I just go pound sand?” Never did the traveling party feel happier to walk through the nation’s No. 1 airport, Indianapolis International, on the way to the car for the ride home.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Bradbury collection opens Commentary by Terry Anker The works of Ray Bradbury have stood the test of time. Bradbury’s works including: “The Martian Chronicles;” “Icarus Montgolfier Wright;” “Something Wicked This Way Comes;” “Fahrenheit 451” and even a script for Warner Brothers’ release of the classic “Moby Dick” still challenge us to contemplate the role of government, censorship and the aspiration that we are not alone in this universe.

A few weeks back, a few civic leaders were invited to meet with the management team from Gen Con - the celebrated gaming convention often held in Indianapolis.

As the conversation traversed topics as wide ranging as aggressive panhandling to hotel capacity to religious freedom, attention turned to those things that make our community unique. Reminded of a recent visit to the basement archives of IUPUI, I mentioned the repository of Bradbury’s works, personal papers, and other artifacts safeguarded at the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies hoping that the out-of-towners

might be interested in visiting the collection and seeing the treasures therein contained. Happily, they were.

Now, Jonathan Eller, Chancellor›s Professor of English and director of the Center, is opening the collection for the general public. In the Campus Center Atrium (420 University Blvd., Indianapolis), at 5 p.m. on Aug. 27, the Center will host a reception and Eller will give a lecture “on the collection’s amazing journey from California to IUPUI and the importance of Bradbury’s legacy in the 21st century.” Both are free and open to the public.”

Bradbury worked in the best and worst of our real and imagined culture. To take advantage of this amazing opportunity for an inside look, contact IUPUI at 274-1456 or libarts@iupui.edu for more information.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Self-pity in its early stage is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.

– Maya Angelou

Why does my family hate me? Why, after I’ve been gone all day at work, must I come home to find two kids on an Oreo-crumbed couch, one hiding out in her humor disaster of a room and the other ensconced in a five-hour Xbox extravaganza while, quite literally, the house is dying a slow, agonizing death as it suffocates under cups of congealed milk, bowls of fruit-fly-infested cherries, tufts of random stuffing from a half-eaten dog toy and an avalanche of “New School Supplies!” debris? Why, dear Lord, why, can’t they think of their poor overwhelmed mother, and just for once, Pick. The heck. Up. I get it. They’re kids with bigger and better agendas. Keeping the kitchen clean and the hallways navigable are clearly at the bottom of their “Consider Doing” lists, along with brushing their teeth and folding laundry. But my husband Doo isn’t any better. He’ll spend hours organizing the garage or the refrigerator, but won’t waste one minute on picking up a wet towel. I’ve actually seen him walk right past a countertop covered in a questionable orange “substance”, plop his computer bag down in the middle of the floor, and continue on upstairs to bed. Arghh!!!

I’ve tried passive-aggressive whining, scary-mommy screaming, and on occasion, stink-eye staring, but nothing seems to work. Even when I remind my family that my love language is “Service,” meaning I feel loved when someone completes a task for me, I receive little more than a patronizing smile. Seriously, how hard is it to toss the empty milk jug? If they can hug, they can recycle!

Over the summer, the house was immaculate. My kids did their chores, I constantly tidied and everyone was happy. Now that we’re back in school, there’s no time for dishes or vacuuming or stray Pop-Tart wrappers. So I’m stuck with unmade beds, a dining room table covered in pencil shavings, and a family who apparently enjoys watching me go red-head crazy. I know they aren’t slobs on purpose, and deep-down I’m certain they love me, but lately it sure feels like hate!

Peace out.

Hunter Smith Band to celebrate new album release

By Joseph Knoop • news@geistcurrent.com For Hunter Smith, “team spirit” might mean two entirely different, yet altogether connected things. With a career spanning the world of professional football, performance the music industry, and even authoring a book, Smith’s own brand of country rock was set to mean something a little bit more advanced and inspiring.

After 12 years of playing in the NFL for both the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins, collecting a slew of awards including a Super Bowl win in 2006, Smith dedicated himself to the world of music, informed by his unusual experiences and and spiritual leanings.

“I don’t know how many musicians are out there who’ve played professional football. Lots of musicians, some go to college, some don’t, I went to a private catholic university in the north and got a degree in theology,” Smith, a Texas native said.

Coupling his religious studies with an additional degree in sociology, Smith originally performed with Connersvine, a distinctly religious contemporary act before transitioning to the Hunter Smith Band. It’s there where Smith says he was able to let the sum of his life experiences inform his music, rather than his beliefs commanding total focus.

“One of the things I think people can sniff out is when you’re not genuine,” Smith said. “I really enjoyed my time doing that but after a while I found myself doing something that didn’t feel genuine. I felt like I was just supposed to write Christian songs because I was in this genre. It was [the industry’s] opinion of what a Christian song is and I just disagree with that opinion. I don’t think any kind of art form can be secluded.”

Smith continues to find his inspiration in his family, bandmates, and the bonds he shares with others.

“My faith informs my life on a lot of levels, and so as a result it does inform my music,” Smith said. “[God] teaches us to love one another so I write songs about loving people.”

Smith believes it’s his job to write about the realities of life, including the difficult experiences captured in songs like “Tail Lights” from his upcoming album.

“A woman leaves a man, and that doesn’t sound very Christian, but it’s the reality a lot of people find themselves in,” Smith said. “And it’s not my job to glorify that reality, it’s to write an artistic picture of what that reality is and the emotion that goes with it. That’s not Christian. It’s just me, and I’m Christian.”

The Hunter Smith Band will perform a free album release show on Aug. 28 at the Traders Point Creamery at 9101 Moore Road in Zionsville, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m.

“What I love about writing songs is watching the Hunter Smith Band arrange and develop them,” Smith said. “I worked in teams my whole life, it only makes sense that I would do music. I could be a solo artist, but what would be the fun of that?”

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley As we said last time, “football season is approaching.” So let’s continue our thoughts on getting ready for tailgate season. Besides equipment, we should focus on the food and friends. Here are some more reminders: Connect with those friends you haven’t seen since last season. Are they going to be coming to games this year?

Discuss menu preferences with your tailgate companions.

Talk about the first game’s date and kickoff time. Does any of the crew want to arrive early? Who can’t make it?

Set the menu and make assignments for whom brings what.

Deviled eggs Here is a warm weather favorite for your first tailgate of the season. Everybody eats more deviled eggs than they will admit.

Ingredients: 12 large eggs, 1/2 cup Mayonnaise, 1/4 cup French’s Classic Yellow Spicy mustard, 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon, 1/2

cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 2 Tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 12 extra-large pitted black olives Directions: Place eggs in pan large enough to hold them in single layer. Cover eggs with cold water by 1 inch and heat just to a boil.

Remove from burner and cover the pan. Let the eggs stand in hot water about 12 minutes.

Drain immediately and cool completely under cold running water or in bowl of ice water.

Then put eggs into the fridge until ready to prepare. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, remove egg yolks and reserve whites. In a bowl, mash yokes with the remaining ingredients.

Spoon or pipe the mixture into the egg whites.

Garnish each with a half black olive.

Special Tip For easier peeling, use eggs that are 7 to 10 days old.

‘Back Home Again’ now at HCAA

By Joseph Knoop news@geistcurrent.com

“Back Home Again,” a gallery presented by the Hamilton County Artist’s Association, will run from now until Oct. 16 at art the HCAA gallery at 195 Fifth St. in Noblesville.

The gallery features noted artists from surrounding communities with works reminiscent of Indiana, including pastoral fields, small towns, city life, and traditional home comforts.

“It reflects our own area, so people interpret it different ways,” vice president in charge of exhibitions Carol Griffith said.

Various mediums of artwork will be displayed, including oil paintings, acrylics, watercolors, and even stenography.

The HCAA is a nonprofit organization founded in 1950 by nine area artists with the expressed purpose of promoting local artwork. To that end, the HCAA is known for providing $1,000 scholarships to area art students and summer workshops for budding artists.

The nonprofit was granted use of the First Baptist Church in Noblesville, a historic black church, in 2006, and served as the

organization’s first permanent place to display its members’ artwork.

“It’s a little off the beaten path, you have to make an effort to get there, so not everyone is familiar with it, but it’s a really cool place to visit,” Griffith said.

The gallery features the works of artists such as Rodney Reveal (watercolors, western themes), Roseann Crowell (pastels, portraits), Donna Arnold (watercolor, caricatures), and Robert Daugherty, a former White House AP photographer.

One of Central Indiana’s most distinctive art & craft shows featuring exhibits from 4 states brimming full of fresh home decorating ideas, unique garden items, vintage, one-of-a-kind pieces, exquisite jewelry, outstanding florals and woodcrafts, specialty foods, upcycled, primitive, contemporary & so much more.

Puppeteers educate, entertain

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Peewinkle’s Puppet Studio’s main purpose is to entertain children, FAMILY FUN but there is also an educational aspect.

The studio will present the “Peewinkle Goes Fishing” puppet show Sept. 16 through 25 (with no shows on Sept. 21-22) at 25 E. Henry St. in Indianapolis.

Peggy Melchoir said this show is attractive to teachers because the show is designed educational under-the sea adventure introduces children to different types of sea life, such as octopus, jelly fish and sea horses. The show is designed for ages 2 through 8. Tickets are $8.

Those 2 and under are admitted free.

“It’s primarily for pre-schoolers,” Melchoir said. ”It’s a 28-minute show. We have optional workshop for people who want to stay after.

It’s primarily for Mom’s groups or preschools.

There are lot of different style of puppets in it and we’ve made everything.”

Melchoir was born into the business. In the early 1950s, her late mother, Erica, a German immigrant, started the Melchoir Marionettes in Lorain, Ohio.

In 1972, Melchoir brought the business to the Indianapolis area. In 1983, she opened The Melchoir Marionette Theater in Nashville, Ind., operating four months a year. In 1997, Melchoir and partner Debi White opened the Indianapolis studio. Melchoir serves as artistic director

Fun and fellowship is the atmosphere projected by Muldoon’s pub. The vibe is proving to be a hit – Muldoon’s has been attributed to being the Best Neighborhood Bar, according to City Voter, for five years straight. You can expect plenty of Irish classics and beers, as well as Midwestern favorites. To enhance the enjoyment of these comfort foods, live music is often provided for the customers’ entertainment.

“We may have the longest running family marionette company in the United States,” Melchoir said. “We’re getting close to our fourth generation as my granddaughter (Nevi) is 11 and performs with us on occasion.”

The puppets also will make its annual appearance at Penrod Arts Fair on Sept. 12 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Tickets for the “Peewinkle Goes Fishing” and a schedule of dates and times are available at peewinklepuppets.org.

Christian boy band visits Carmel

By Steven Aldrich • news@geistcurrent.com Hot off their debut single, “Halfway,” the future is looking bright for the MUSIC young Christian band, 3For3.

They may be new to the music scene, but that has not slowed down Spencer Lloyd, Benji Shuler, and Josh Davis one bit. The trio has created their own unique sound with a Christian message. The band’s hit single was co-written by band member Shuler and backed by award-winning producer Bernie Herms.

The three young men first got their start in music at a very young age by singing and performing in church.

3For3 comes from the Bible scripture Psalm 34:3. The scripture states, “Join me in spreading the news together, and let’s get the word out.”

This is the exact type of positive message that the band has always wanted to spread.

Eight of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sale prices real estate in the first seven months of 2015 compared to the same time period last year.

Hamilton County is among the areas that reported gains with an average sale price of $277,230, an increase of 4 percent compared to the same time period last year.

• In the Fishers/Geist area, year-todate home sale prices rose 2.7 percent to $259,287, an increase of $6,725 compared to the same time period last year.

• Of the pended home sales in the Fishers/Geist Market last month, one was priced above $2,000,000; one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; seven were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 53 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 46 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 85

were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and seven were priced at $99,999 or less.

• Inventory moved at a brisk pace in Fishers/Geist in July 2015. Overall, homes sold in 46 days on average – 14 fewer days than this time last year.

• Buyers in the Fishers/Geist area have fewer options available to them. Last month, 545 homes were on the market, down 135 homes compared to July 2014.

• Pended home sales have slipped slightly in the Fishers/Geist market. In July 2015, 200 homes sold, a decline of 38 homes from July 2014.

We’re seeing the best July in the last five years in terms of sale prices, which have increased more than $34,000 on average. Meanwhile, the number of available homes on the market is the lowest we’ve experienced in five years – all pointing to a more balanced, stable market that tends to benefit sellers.

Ten tips for weight loss Commentary by Randy Sorrell 1. Plan meals around protein to stay full longer.

2. Sleep. Not only does skimping on sleep affect the part of the brain in charge of decision-making and weight loss impulse-control, but numerous studies find that a lack of sleep leads to increased cravings for energy-dense, high-carbohydrate foods.

3. Be conscious of how certain foods taste and how they make your body feel. Avoid eating in scenarios where you can’t savor your food. Eating in the car or in front of the television makes it more difficult to notice when you’re full.

4. Breathe. Often when people start to feel physically and psychologically satisfied, they will take a deep breath followed by a “stop eating” sigh.

5. Make late-night snacking inconvenient; working on a puzzle with wet nails in the basement promises to make mindless eating quite a challenge.

6. Write. Keeping a food log can double a person’s weight loss. Recording as you go and keeping detailed entries will help

you stay mindful as well as identify triggers, patterns and opportunities for improvement.

7. Silence your persistent, extra-loud cravings by savoring a small portion. One fourth of a full-fat, full-calorie cupcake is going to satisfy the urge much more effectively than a full-sized, cardboardflavored “healthy” alternative.

8. Chew. Taking time to eat gives your brain the time it needs to send out signals of fullness.

9. When you eat for any reason other than hunger (i.e. thirsty, emotional, bored), your body is incapable of cuing you that you’re full. Add harder-to-stop-at-one foods to protein-rich, balanced meals so your body can be your ally in pumping the brakes.

10. Forgive. If you lose your way, don’t give up. Offer yourself as much grace as you’d offer a complete stranger.

Shade and how the pergola won

Hardwood floors: Janka scale

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Commentary by David Decker

That was the primary objective of this Zionsville home project and an oversized pergola was the ideal outdoor living solution.

Blazing sun, and a pergola solution A southwestern exposure baked the back of the home and caused the ambitiously sized stamped concrete patio to be unusable on sunny afternoons. The kiddie pool, stainless steel grill and sleek, upscale furniture were taking a beating and showing early signs of potential sun damage. Kitchen, living room and the dining area windows all overlook the area, which was difficult to cool.

This 20’x20’ modern pergola design is completely custom and driven by the homeowner’s on-line research and desire for something different. It served as inspiration for our team to create a completely unique structure.

FLOATING. Premium cedar 6”x6”x12’ standard posts were set in footers that were cut through the existing concrete patio. Large 2”x12” beams were jointed on the ends (instead of a more traditional overhang) in a clean fashion. An additional set of 2”x10” beams seem to float

Replacing your old flooring with shiny, new hardwood is one way to attract buyers into your home. But if you interiors thought that all wood flooring was created equal, you may want to dig a little deeper. Understanding the different types and species of hardwood floor is an essential part of selecting your flooring.

The most common types of wood used to make flooring include: • Red Oak: The most popular flooring option in the U.S. because of its rich color and tough grain.

• White Oak: Has similar properties to its cousin, the red oak, but is slightly harder and more durable.

• Pine: Pine’s recognizable swirls, knots and yellowish brown color has made it a popular choice for flooring and siding. It also has a natural resistance to insects.

• Cherry: Because it’s a soft wood, cherry isn’t often the best choice for flooring.

However, it makes an excellent decorative or accent wood.

• Exotic: Many homeowners are choosing to install flooring made from renewable

on top. To create an amazing volume of shade, two layers of overhead units were installed creating a heavy shade footprint underneath.

Often, we are able to create shade escapes in a number of manners on the same project.

Shade trees are very affective, but take a few years to cause impact. Pergolas are immediate.

We are thrilled the homeowners are loving their newfound shady outdoor living space!

resources, such as cork or bamboo.

When choosing a wood species, you’ll want to take into account the relative hardness of the wood. Harder wood grain means that the flooring will be more likely to withstand the wear done by heavy furniture and foot traffic.

The Janka scale was developed to give homeowners and builders an idea about the relative hardness of a particular type of wood..

Weigh your options carefully until you find the perfect flooring to fit your home.
