Fadness talks Fishers budget, considers $25 wheel tax By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Last week, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness introduced the proposed 2017 city budget to members of the media, with focus on public safety and infrastructure. city He wants to add four firefighters, four police officers and two public works employees to the city’s staff. “Police is about call volume and the ability to keep up with that,” Fadness said of the staffing increase. “Fire is about the staffing on the trucks that are Fadness in a more urban area. Right now we run three (firefighters) to a truck, and we want to supplement ladder trucks in the downtown area with one more person. Public works laborers are mainly on the streets division.” In addition to the 10 added personnel, Fadness is proposing a 3 percent increase in salaries across the board for all city employees. The percentage in the budget does not increase the mayor’s or any other elected officials’ salaries. The budget allows for 13 police car replacements and a $97,000 live training facility for Fishers firefighters. There will be a new paramedic vehicle and an approximate $500,000 renovation to the public works building. A new three-story police headquarters also is planned, budgeted to cost between $12 and $14 million. The station also will include a threestory parking garage with 175 to 225 spaces. The first level of the parking garage will be for law enforcement vehicles only. City staff will move to

the old police headquarters at 4 Municipal Dr. to add more flexibility to city hall spacing. “(By moving city hall staff) into the old police station, it alleviates pressure on this building (city hall),” Fadness said. “By doing that move, this building will be adequate for years to come. We think this is a pretty cost-effective way to solve the police department issue and solve a growing need here at city hall. My hope, timelinewise, is I would like to be (breaking ground) by the first of the year.” Another focus in the proposed budget is road maintenance. Fadness proposed a $25 wheel tax for Fishers residents when they register their vehicles. If passed, the tax will raise $2.5 million a year to be used for road maintenance. The city would collect the payments every month. The tax would not go into effect until 2018. “We certainly didn’t come to this decision lightly, but this has been an ongoing concern,” Fadness said of road maintenance and the wheel tax. “We want to get to a point where we can come into a subdivision and (repave) curb to curb. Nobody wants to raise fees or taxes, but we also have to remain vigilant and keep up with infrastructure for the long term.” Other roadwork budgeted for 2017 includes construction on 113th Street, resurfacing part of 116th Street and a roundabout at 96th Street and Lantern Road. Overall, the budget is planned to be $85.372 million, with the general fund at $51.843 million. Budget proposals were scheduled to go before the city council at a meeting Sept. 19.

Fall Creek Trail construction completed earlier than expected By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Construction on the Fall Creek Trail began last year and was slated to finish in October, but the trail was completed this month and is now open to pedestrian and cyclist city traffic. Construction was done to widen the trail from eight feet to 10 feet, pave the trail and connect all disconnected areas. The trail is one of the most traveled in Fishers due to its path through Geist. “The trail originally was disconnected and broken down in different places, and (its width) was inconsistent with eight feet wide, which is not ideal in accessibility,” City of Fishers Marketing and Public Relations Manager Casey Cawthon said. “It’s one of the busiest trails in Fishers. Construction was significantly ahead of schedule, and it will be an awesome asset this fall when it’s open.” Construction was estimated to cost approximately $2,000,000. The city used the

The trail was too narrow in places to allow for two-way traffic. Now, the trail is considered a “super highway” for pedestrians and cyclists. Pedestrian boardwalks and bridges also were reconstructed. For more, visit http://www.fishers.in.us/ DocumentCenter/View/6604.

Geist Orchard relocates By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After basing its preschool out of a church in McCordsville, Geist Orchard Cooperative Preschool has relocated to Fishers in order to grow its school. education “We really want to grow so we began looking around at other locations and a few of the parents are coming out of Fishers,” Board President Stacy Taylor said. “St. George Orthodox Church had a different building behind the church, so we signed a lease to have our school on the grounds. We really want to tap into Fishers’ resources. It’s such a family community, and we really wanted to tap into that and try and grow with Fishers. We really want to be part of a community that values family and friendship, and we want to grow with that kind of community.” The school held an open house Sept. 6, and it accepts children 2 to 5 years old. There are three age groups, Seedlings, Sprouts and Twigs. “We are a cooperative preschool, so it’s extremely family involved,” said Taylor, who is the mother to a Twigs pre-K student. “The families are the ones who run the school, es-

sentially. The families volunteer their time to help teachers work with the students. There are one or two parents on site everyday helping teachers with class. The parents are the ones who run fundraising to raise money for the school. The executive board is all run by the parents. We are the ones that essentially run the school. We are extremely play-based, and we are not the type of school that sits down and gets the child to work on worksheets. Everything learned is throughout play. Our curriculum is structured through play.” Each age group meets at various times during the week. For more, visit geistorchardcoop.com.

Students are taught basic vocabulary, such as colors and animals.

The number one thing that parents want is foreign language in Fishers.” Classes meet twice a week throughout the school semester. Fees lower as the semester progresses.

Our world seems to want to place everyone and everything in broad categories. I was reminded of this over the weekend as I listened to another pastor describe Religion Jesus’ selection of disciples (students) as “looking for a few good men.” We want to put life into sound bytes and be finished with it when we have named it. It is part of our big gulp culture; one heaping portion, and then I am done. My son is a chef and often complains about how patrons simply want bigger portions rather than delicately created dishes that tantalize the pallet and excite the taste buds with exquisite mixtures of flavors that can each be distinguished from one another but blend in an entirely new way. God brings his creation together in much the same way a chef does his dishes. He takes disparate people together and brings out their very best flavors while at the same time creating an entirely new creation fit for a king. We, on the other hand, seem to want to put all peoples together more in a blender fashion, mashing them together into some kind of unrecognizable and unpalatable creation. When we strive for mere tolerance instead of genuine love, we have become blender cooks. When we work toward simply striving for agreement in the lowest common denominator, we have become blender cooks. When we look for everyone to be alike, look alike, sound alike, act alike and think alike, we have become blender cooks. Jesus said the reason he came was to bring us a better, more enriching life in abundance. He came to bring us a life that accentuates the best that is in each of us and bring us together in an even more creative manner. God designed the richness and flavor of all

peoples, so when we are brought together, we create a wonderful, rich, appealing and flavorful dish of hope. He desires that we bring out the best in one another, not bring one another down to the lowest commonality and make us a people that are all identical in appearance and taste. I see in Jesus’ last meal with his disciples that he was not giving them sound-byte living, but instructional care. He was delicately mixing the fine flavors of each of His disciples into a new creation. He was giving them an exquisite design that would bring out the best, help each reach their highest potential, and then share it with the others. As Jesus gathered his disciples around the table for their last meal he gave them simple elements of bread and wine and then mixed in his love and compassion as he told them to eat this meal and then remember him and the fine life that he was bringing them. As I look back on my life there are meals that standout for me, sometimes because of the richness of the food, but often because of the passion of the food that the one who prepared it or the one I was sharing it with brought to the table. Each time I smell the smells, taste the flavors, enjoy the textures and spice, I relive those moments, and I remember. This is the way food was meant to be enjoyed and this is the way that life is meant to be lived – with passion. “And Jesus said to them, each time you eat of this bread and drink this wine, remember me.” Rev.

Piney Acres Farms celebrates its 10th fall season, opening this weekend

the Season into

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

Since childhood, Rex Zenor said he had a vision for what is now Piney Acres Farm. The 73-acre farm at 1115 E. 1000 N. in Fortville initially began as a Christmas Tree Farm in 2000. But in 2006, Zenor also began cover story offering fall attractions. This year, Piney Acres will celebrate its 10th fall season, beginning Sept. 24 and lasting through Halloween. An Indianapolis native, Zenor calls himself a transplant, and a childhood experience with his father, who would later die when Zenor was 10 years old, laid the foundation for Piney Acres. “When I was little, I took a tractor ride, and I thought, ‘This is just neat.’ I recall it being a pig farm … but it’s just like something happened. At that point in time, it just overcame me. I wanted to go to college. I wanted to know how many cows to put on a field, how many acres I’m going to have to buy, but things get in the way, you know, high school, cars, girls, marriage, kids, work. So when I turned 50, I said, ‘Well, if I don’t do it now, I never will.’ (The

inspiration) had nothing to do with my dad dying … but I probably hung on to that experience that I had with my dad on that farm.” During the fall season, Piney Acres is open every day, with extended hours on the weekends. Following opening week, Zenor will open the farm’s three haunted attractions – the haunted loft, haunted corn maze and haunted hay ride – Sept. 30. “We also get a lot of interest with our farm animals because even though we’ve only got a few, some people have never seen a live chicken. It’s always been a picture, or its been dressed in cellophane, ready to eat.” After Halloween, the farm will close for three weeks to prepare for its Christmas season, which starts Nov. 18, the weekend before Thanksgiving. “It was just something I always wanted to do,” Zenor said. “Christmas was always special to me simply because of the way my family developed. My dad had died, and my aunts and uncles always celebrated Christmas with us. Then, just through the courses of my life, I kind of tied my carpentry field into Christmas, which was growing trees, which was wood. One thing evolved into another, and that’s how it became a Christmas tree farm in the beginning.”

CIVIL WAR REENACTMENT & SPECIAL EVENTS On the weekend of Oct. 14, the farm will host its firstever Civil War reenactment over three days. “These are real re-enactors who do this five or six times each year,” Zenor said. “We’re trying to grow into it, and we’re wanting to do even more, like a native Indian pow wow, antique tractor shows. Some farms you go out, and it’s all modern, relative to today’s world, but I just believe firmly that you can’t predict your future unless you know where you come from. Knowing your history – that’s what I would like it to be.”

We have Hillary the Crooked still trying to lie her way out of her email crimes like a cheap lawyer. We have Trump the Unqualified still talking in gibberish about grabbing Iraq’s oil, claiming he knows more about ISIS than the generals and trading air-kisses with Vladimir Putin. We even had Gary Johnson the Pot Head flying his Libertarian Party’s campaign plane into a cliff with his already famous “What is Aleppo?” response. So who’s left to vote for, Jill Stein, the mad doctor of the Green Party? It’s sad to say, but Trump is still our best choice among the worst candidates. For both The Donald and The Hillary, this election is no longer about gaining voters for their candidacy. It’s all about suppressing the other one’s voters. Whoever can get the other one’s supporters to stay home on Election Day wins. If Trump is going to win in the end, it might also be because of what Citizens United and Judicial Watch do. The two conservative groups, which have used lawsuits and Freedom of Information requests to get the state department to release Clinton’s emails, have caused Hillary much more trouble. There will be more emails coming because of Citizens United and Judicial Watch, plus whatever October surprises WikiLeaks and Julian Assange have coming. The email dumps might very well suppress the voting for Hillary, which, let’s face it, is the only way Trump can win.

Web profiler Commentary by Terry Anker Has the World Wide Web become all too clever at profiling us? With each missive entered on our trusty search engine, the algorithms noting our interests and inquiries become more adroit at delivering products that are, or ought to be, for us. Like a somewhat cloudy mirror, it reflects a hazy, if roughly accurate, countenance. But can we expect the internet to give us legitimate insight to ourselves? As we are provoked by the banner ads that accompany our electronic morning papers, we come to note the customized nature of the wares – how the web merchants see us. “You enjoy shoes.” “You like to travel.” “You will spend too much to get a unique bourbon!” They size us up from safe distance with remarkable accuracy. Generally, we relish the personal shopper that delivers goods and services that correspond to our desires, needs and wishes. But then, there are the parts of our would-

be internet outline that are a bit more jarring. Who has decided that we might have need for vitamins aimed at the over-50 set or familysized minivans to replace our sporty coupes? Do they know something about us that we don’t? Perhaps more importantly, where do they get off telling us – plus, with whom else are they speaking? At the end of the day, the marketers are providing us with a decent value-add. We are introduced to all manner of product, place, and person that might enhance or enrich our lives. Is the sacrifice of privacy worth it? Pandora has been released from her box and it is unlikely that our web anonymity will soon return. So for now, I’m searching for things only hoping to convince my net-profiler that I’m cooler than he thinks! Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E  O F   T HE  W EEK Courage is grace under pressure. – Ernest Hemingway

Heads up, people. Football season is on, and this dance mom has finally wormed her way into an all-guy fanhumor tasy league. Do I know what I’m doing? No. Other than Eli Manning, I’ve actually never even heard of anyone on my team. Do I understand when to start a TE over a WR or an RB? Nope, but I know I need to start two to three each week. Am I going to let any of this stop me from dominating a bunch of beer-guzzling man-children? Bells to the no! I recognize the incredible responsibility I now hold as I represent women everywhere. I promise, I will not fail! Well, I might. One of my quarterbacks already blew his ACL and is out for the season. I somehow drafted three Colts players, which will make establishing a lineup on their bye week a bit challenging. And I truly have little to no knowledge of the strength and weaknesses of the 30-odd teams in the NFL (but at least I didn’t write NHL!). I do have an awesome name, though, ‘A Girl Has No Name,’ (Game of Thrones fans, you’re welcome!) which is half the battle, and the help of my football-fanatic teenage son, who dutifully scans my lineup every week to make sure I didn’t start a player on a bye week or the defense who’s up against my key offensive minions. I also have the advantages of having adopted the worst team in the league from last year, and of course, of being a girl. There are literally no expectations of me winning anything. I can only impress! To wit, I’ve already won the Cool Teacher Award from several students, who have quietly nodded their approval after scanning the copy of my roster posted in my classroom. Unpredictably, I also had a student indicate his disappointment at not making what he thought was essentially my Teacher’s Pet List. In his defense, he doesn’t follow football and I did just label it “My Fantasy Team.” So here’s to a victorious football season. For me, and women everywhere! Peace out.

Cramping my style Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I have leg cramps. In the middle of the night, I jump out of bed screaming, brace myself against the side of the humor headboard and push down on the ball of my foot, which shakes the entire room. One night, I almost woke up my wife. Recently, I shared an elevator ride with an old friend, who asked how I was. “I’m OK, Joel, but at night, I get…” “Don’t tell me — leg cramps. Here’s what I recommend: vitamin E, three times a day. Works like a miracle.” I’m not inclined to take medical advice on the Internet, but you can learn a lot in an elevator. Just in case, I called my doctor to ask his opinion. He told me that vitamin E was not good for me because of an interaction with my cholesterol medication. Then he asked me exactly where I had heard this remedy. I told him the 14th floor of the Chase Building. He said that for my health, I should start taking the stairs. The next week, in the same elevator, I ran into another old pal. “Hey, Dick, word is out you are having leg cramps.”

“Wow, Arnold, word sure travels up and down fast in this building.” “My dad had leg cramps, so he drank a gin and tonic every night before bed — and it worked.” “What did the trick, the gin or the tonic?” “Who cares?” Health websites say that gin may help you forget your pain, but it’s the quinine in the tonic that prevents the cramps. For two weeks, I drank a bottle of tonic water before bed. It didn’t help, so now I’m considering the therapeutic benefits of straight Tanqueray. Recently, I was in Macy’s and saw another old friend, who had this suggestion: “Dick, this sounds really odd, but if you put a bar of soap under the fitted sheet of your bed, you’ll never have legs cramps again.” Normally, I’d have ignored this totally crazy idea, but I have to tell you ... you can get some really good advice on an escalator.

Kottke to showcase unique style at Warehouse

16 1 7

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com SEASON SPONSOR

Leo Kottke doesn’t worry about keeping a setlist to follow. Each concert takes on a life of its own. “Yeah, they vary,” Kottke concerts said of the songs he performs at concerts. “I do just get lost and try to find my way through. I enjoy it. I like to be surprised by the music.” Kottke, an acoustic guitar player who is known for his fingerpicking style, will perform at 7 p.m. Sept. 25 at The Warehouse, 254 First Ave., Carmel. Kottke, who performs a variety of blues, jazz and folk music, is known for his rather unusual stage monologues and humor. “I don't really tell stories, I just start talking,” Kottke said. “Some subjects are familiar but I'd rather get lost. And I only talk so I know what to play next. Seems to work that way.” Kottke, who often plays completely instrumental songs, has enjoyed doing vocals more in recent years. “There's nothing rational about performance, so it's hard to find a reason for any part of it,” Kottke said “Dangerous, actually, to

interfere. But I ran for a while and that gave me breathing. I had no idea that would happen. And breathing opened up everything from the neck up. And you can't get there without opening up everything from the neck down. All of this was a shock, your body just kicks in. I guess I enjoy the singing now because it's easier.” Kottke, who turned 71 Sept. 11, has a simple explanation for why he keeps such a busy schedule. “It’s good for me,” he said. Kottke’s last album was a collaboration with Mike Gordon in 2005 called “Sixty Six Steps.” He has written new songs but has no concrete plans for a new album release yet.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL CONCERT EXPERIENCES

You’ve just finished a big, hearty meal, but instead of feeling full and satisfied, you crave something extra. It isn’t sandwiches or little carrot or celery sticks you yearn for, it’s a sweet dessert. But the question is, why do we hunger for sugary foods, even after a hearty tailgate meal? Our thought, and that of many nutritionists, is that people have been trained since childhood to expect a sugary dessert after a meal. Eating dessert in America is a time-honored tradition (and a way to bribe kids to eat their vegetables!). So your tailgaters deserve to have you continue the tradition of offering a sweet dessert after their meal. Since most tailgaters serve dessert, we asked them, all across America, what makes for a good game day dessert. They replied saying they want something tasty and easy to eat. What that means to us is that a bar fits that bill. A bar is a cookie/cake prepared in a pan cut into squares. We feature a score of bar recipes on our site tailgatershandbook. com. Here’s one of Marie Simmons’, a columnist for Bon Appe’tite, recipes for these warmweather tailgates that will top off any meal. Lemon love notes Batter Ingredients: 1 3/4 cup all unbleached, all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 sticks unsalted butter (softened), 1 cup confectioners’ sugar sifted, 1 large egg, 1 cup flaked-sweetened coconut, 1 Tablespoon grated lemon zest Ingredients Glaze: 2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar, 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut Preparation: Batter — Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

A gathering place

puzzle answers

Commentary by Randy Sorrell This micro view of a master project consumed four months of installation and resulted in an incredible backyard outdoors living space with all the amenities. It now serves as the families’ favorite gathering space and hosts more than its share of fun: football tailgates under the lanais fueled by the fireplace, family reunions, grilling celebrations and quiet times in the evenings. Here are four keys that successfully fueled this beautiful project: • The homeowners’ “great eye” was matched with uncompromising tastes that inspired the design process. Old world traditions were married with updated views. • A classic material pallet of Indiana limestone, Pennsylvania slate and mortar joints fits the home and the traditional, red brick, leafy neighborhood. • As usual, well-planned landscaping inspires. It prompted an indescribable difference and helped gently define multiple living spaces. • Well-planned spacious steps, planters and retaining walls served as assists in

elevation changes, couples as seating walls and directs the eye toward focal points hidden from view. What is not seen, but easily imagined, is the “magazine cover” view of the rest of the space. Note: micro views and details matter. Especially in your personal outdoor living space. Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home-improvement firm.

Commentary by Don Knebel Visitors to Jerusalem often stop by what is said to be the site of the fabled palace of Biblical King David. Whether that travel is what they see is a matter of opinion. According to the Bible, David captured Jerusalem from the Jebusites in the ninth or 10th centuries B.C. and made it the capital of a kingdom uniting the 12 tribes of Israel. People today probably imagine Jerusalem at the time as a great city, befitting their view of David’s United Monarchy. But most scholars believe that David’s Jerusalem occupied a narrow hilltop strip no more than 300-feet wide and 1,500 feet long, with a population of perhaps 2,000. This area, called the City of David, was southeast of the hill called Mount Moriah, where King Solomon later built the first Jewish Temple. Excavations in the City of David area began in the 19th century. In the 1920s, archaeologists discovered a 60-foot high terraced structure made of stone along the eastern side of the hill, overlooking the Kidron Valley. The purpose of this structure, labeled the Stepped Stone Structure, has long been a mystery. In 2005, Dr. Eliat Mazar, an Israeli

archaeologist, reported that she had found another stone structure, just as unimaginatively called the Large Stone Structure, at the top of the Stepped Stone Structure. With great fanfare, she said she had found David’s palace, founded by the Stepped Stone Structure. Other archaeologists quickly disagreed, saying there would not be a palace in such a small “hill-country village.” The site of Dr. Mazar’s excavations, labeled Area G, has become a popular tourist des-

Trimming tall grasses – Large ornamental grasses can be daunting to trim back each fall. Make the job quicker and smoother by wrapping a bungee cord around each clump of grass before pruning. The cord will neatly collect the clippings, making them easier to move away from the area when you’re done.
