Ind. 37 contractors looking into traffic management By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com A project to update Ind. 37 in Hamilton County, ridding the corridor of all stoplights from 126th Street in Fishers through the Ind. 32/38/37 interchange in Noblesville, has been in the works for years. Now, contractors RQAW Consulting roads Engineers & Architects and American Structurepoint representatives have announced ways they will continue to study traffic on the highway and nearby corridors to help mitigate traffic issues during future construction of the first phase of the project, from 126th to 146th streets. In a quarterly meeting hosted by RQAW for business owners and stakeholders along the corridor Sept. 21 at Ben & Ari’s in Fishers, Erik Farny, project manager for American Structurepoint, discussed traffic-management tools the firm plans to use: finalizing the display for current and upcoming projects in the area, utilizing Bluetooth devices to collect origin-destination information and building models to begin running traffic scenarios. “So, if you have Bluetooth turned on your phone, they know when you’ve entered the corridor and when you left the corridor, and where you did it at,” Farny said. “Why that’s important is they know, instead of just counting how many cars drive up and down (Ind.) 37, they know how many cars came up 37 and went west on 126th Street, or how many cars came across 131st to go up to 146th to go across. It helps us because we can better plan the traffic. So they’ve been completing that over the past couple of months. They have all their preliminary data put in place.” Now, contractors are using Bluetooth data to assemble a theoretical model. “We can plug in and say, ‘If we close this road, what

happens to all the other roads?’” Farny said. “That gives us a better idea to be able to tell you guys that if this (road) gets shut down or reduced to one lane … we can better predict how to mitigate that measure in the future than just kind of throwing out a hope and a prayer.” By mid-November, RQAW will submit the first part of its construction plan to the Indiana Dept. of Transportation and the City of Fishers for review, which Farny said could

take approximately one month. “So I would imagine by the first of next year, we’ll have a good plan that we can come to (stakeholders) with and say, ‘OK, this is our preliminary footprint that we have for this,’ to get some feedback from you and for you to see what we’ve been laying out,” Farny said.

Dauntless Sailing School’s Todd Bracken preps for prime sailing season By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Since 2009, Todd Bracken has operated Dauntless Sailing School with his sailboat, Dauntless. Beginning this month, he is entering what he calls prime cover story sailing season and the re-opening of the “hayride on the water” sunset cruises, running from 3 to 5:30 p.m. each Saturday in October. “Particularly in the fall, because the weather is a lot nicer, it’s fantastic to be out here,” Bracken said from his boat, docked at Geist Marina. “Actually, the fall and the spring are the best sailing seasons. A lot of people think of sailing as a summer activity, but here, your best sailing conditions are in the early spring and late fall. So we’re just now getting into really, really good weather.” The sailing classes and programs have seen more than 750 participants in the past seven years. “We’re the most active sailing school in the Midwest as far as number of participants. We have two very popular programs geared towards two different types of audiences. One is the sunset cruise. We get a lot of date nights, anniversaries, birthday

parties, girls’ nights out, and during the day, corporate private charters,” Bracken said. “The market that has developed with (the sunset cruises) are people looking for a unique, special experience with their significant other. I try to tie in the unique history of the lake, too. They can see key houses, kind of like a who’s who of Geist with Geist resident trivia thrown into that.” Bracken said the other popular offering from Dauntless Sailing School is the adult beginner sailing course. “We seem to have hit on a really unique niche where we’re focused towards adult beginners, people with little or absolutely no experience at all, and we walk them through the basics,” he said. “Our program is completely hands-on. You can’t learn to sail in a classroom.” Bracken said all training is done aboard the Dauntless, which is the biggest boat on Geist. Wtihin four to six sessions, he said students should be able to safely sail his boat on their own. Aside from his most popular offerings, Bracken also takes part with students in Great Lakes excursions, regatta participation, blue water excursions to the Bahamas, Bimini and Florida Keys and ocean coast cruising expeditions. To learn more, visit dauntlesssailing.com.

BECOMING A SAILOR

Todd Bracken said he picked up sailing as a young adult. “It’s my dad that got me into it,” he said. “Growing up, my dad was kind of always the adventurous type, and he would drift from one adventure to another. In fact, when I was in junior high and early high school, he was into rock climbing. So he and I did a lot of rock climbing together. He actually climbed the Rocky Mountains at one point.

“Finally, as he got older, he settled in on sailing. So I picked that up with him as well. “When IBM moved me up here to Indianapolis, I actually lived two blocks away (from Geist Lake), so I was literally a block away from the sailing club. I was very involved with that for many years. “I always enjoyed teaching (sailing), so I always wanted to offer lessons. So in 2009, I moved over here to the marina and started.”

MEET TODD BRACKEN Age: 50 Family: Married wife, Cheri, in 2013 aboard the Dauntless. Couple has 10 children ranging in age from 9 to 24. Sailing career: Owner of Dauntless Sailing School and a licensed sailboat captain. More than 25 years of sailing and racing experience. Holds memberships to U.S. Sailing, Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation, C7C 27 Class Association and is a U.S. Power Squadrons advanced pilot and junior navigator. Previously served as safety chairman for the Indianapolis Sailing Club; water safety instructor for Red Cross; and lifeguard for Red Cross. Professional career: Works in technology and software product management as a director of product management. Has worked for Interactive Intelligence, WellPoint Inc., BioSentinel Solutions LLC and IBM. Education: Grew up near Rockport, Ind. and attended North Spencer High School. Graduated in 1988 from Asbury University with a bachelor’s degree in communications. Graduated in 1994 with an MBA from Regent University’s School of Business Administration. Interesting fact: Bracken’s family members were original Indiana pioneers. “It was right here in Fishers,” Bracken said. “So they settled Fishers back in 1825. Highland Cemetery, which is located right up here in Fishers off of Hoosier Road, is basically my family cemetery. I’ve got five generations of ancestors buried there. I consider this area my home. Literally, we’ve been here for centuries.”

debate f o l l owu p As a journalist, Holt failed us

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Peter Funt Before taking his seat at Monday night’s presidential debate, Lester Holt confided to the audience in the hall that his knees were shaking. Ninety minutes later, shaky would be an overly kind way to describe Holt’s performance as moderator. Putting aside any judgment of which candidate fared better, or how the event might affect voters’ opinions, Holt faced one of the most difficult tasks in modern journalism and came up short. Holt asked 14 questions (plus a few interjections and short follow-ups). Of those, seven were generic, policy-based inquiries, asked of both candidates. Six were specifically directed at Donald Trump, regarding things he has said and done. Only one such specific question, and a gentle one at that, was asked of Hillary Clinton. Journalistically, that’s not even close to the standard trashed regularly by Fox News: fair and balanced. How the respected anchorman managed to fumble as he did is not particularly mysterious. Following sharp criticism of his NBC colleague Matt Lauer in the so-called “Commander-inChief” one-on-one, where Lauer challenged Clinton repeatedly while allowing Trump to get away with distortions, The next event uses a “town hall” format, with two moderators, so it is likely that prospects for a real debate are dim. This time, though, the nice guy finished last. Copyright 2016, Peter Funt, writer and author. Column distributed exclusively by Cagle Cartoons, Inc., newspaper syndicate.

It catches the mud and grime of street life and prepares the entrant for a cleaner and more orderly transition to sanctum sanctorum. Among higher order devices that greet us at the front door is the doorbell, glowing as a beacon ever ready to proclaim a visitor crying out with melodious chime heralding that a traveler has arrived upon our threshold. One could imagine that the porchlight, mat and stoop must see the doorbell as the most admired. Like doormats and doorbells, our society tends to praise those among us who are shiny and whose tone is presently the most fair. Contemporaneously, we ignore or decry the many contributions of those who serve quietly, consistently and with little fanfare.

Each day they present themselves to provide for all, foreign visitor and domestic resident alike. They stand at the ready to meet each challenge with elegant simplicity and lack of complication. While both devices adorn the passage into our homes, which is indispensable? Which serves the greater purpose? The doorbell can be substituted with any number of methods to accomplish its intended purpose. Simply rapping one’s knuckles against the door could work. Every child knows that knock, knock is followed by who’s there? Perhaps a visitor could call or text. But without the mat, the line between in and out is blurred. The day’s debris gushes in. Aren’t we better off with a few more doormats and a few less doorbells? But, can our egos take the realization? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EE K A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. – Ayn Rand

Every so often I get the chance to play Supermom. Inevitably, it happens when my husband Doo is MIA and I’m ophumor erating on little to no sleep, but I always seem to come through. This morning was one of those times. I actually saved the day twice! My first Wonder Woman moment came at approximately 7 a.m. I had just returned from dropping my color guard daughter off for a competition when I realized she had left her undergarments behind. I texted her but received no response. Luckily I had to go right back over to get her cross country brother to his meet, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Boy deposited, I drove around to the front of the school, only to discover 10 identical buses about to pull out for Ohio. With no parking spots nearby, I ran a red light, ditched the car across the street, and then sprinted barefoot the 100 meters to the soon-departing caravan. It occurred to me that I was barefoot and still wearing pajamas. Thinking only of my poor daughter having to toss rifles without a bra, I began interrogating far more pulled-together parents as to the whereabouts of “the guard bus.” Eventually I found it, deposited the goods, and walked back to my car, feeling very Linda Carter-like, albeit less braceleted and a little more homeless looking. The second call for help came through not more than 10 minutes after I was home. Here’s the exact text conversation that transpired: XC son: What time are you coming to my meet? Me: I’ll be there for your race. Why? XC son: I may have left something. Me: OMG. Did you forget your shoes? XC son: Maybe. Sweet mercy! Clearly my children will not be joining me in the League of Justice. I did manage to squeeze in a shower and actually don footwear before hopping into my notso-invisible minivan and solving the second crisis of the day. And all before 10 a.m., thank you very much. Am I Wonder Woman? Nope. Just the occasional Supermom. Peace out.

Movie madness Commentary by Dick Wolfsie If I hadn’t gotten lost on the way to the entry exam, the people at Mensa might have made me a member. I tried a humor second time, but I got a flat and I have no idea how to use the jack. Otherwise, I’d be in Mensa. Believe me. I’m sure you can’t get in Mensa if you can’t follow movies. At home, while Mary Ellen and I watch a flick, she answers emails and does Sudoku puzzles, but still manages to understand exactly what is going on. I have to keep asking my wife if those are the good guys or the bad guys. I don’t want my wife to think I am not watching carefully, so if I doze off and suddenly wake up. I begin laughing to show her I am paying attention. That proved to be a mistake when I fell asleep during Blazing Saddles and didn’t realize Mary Ellen had switched to a Civil War documentary. Let’s pass some sensible bipartisan legislation that deals with the following criminal acts by movie-makers: • Flashbacks – If there’s a flashback, let’s have a big sign in the theater lobby that says: Flashback at 7:37 p.m. and 8:42 p.m. Sometimes I sit through a whole movie

confused, until my wife says, “Dick, that was a flashback.” Okay, now I want my money back. • Dream sequences – This is when a character either dreams or imagines something on the screen. In the old days when a person was having a dream, you got this campy music and the picture dissolved to show the actor had fallen asleep. I guess special effects are hard to do nowadays. • Prequels and sequels – Years ago while watching the first Star Wars movie, my son informed me that they made the second episode first. “On purpose?” I asked. “You’d think with 500 people on the production set, someone would say, “Hey, wait a second, we forgot to do Part I!” I still go to the movie theater with my wife. I don’t mind paying $1 to get in, 25 cents for a bag of popcorn and 10 cents for a Coke. By the way, that was a flashback.

Pence lauds IEDC, decrease in Indiana By Nick Poust • news@geistcurrent.com During the joint meeting between the Indiana Economic Development Corp. and the Indiana Economic development Development Foundation, which was held Sept. 22 at Launch Fishers and chaired by Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb, Gov. Mike Pence called in from the campaign trail to laud the IEDC and its efforts to boost the economy and decrease unemployment. “We’re seeing such incredible progress in Indiana’s economy,” Pence said. “Right now, Indiana’s labor force participation rate is well above the national average, and we’re in the 14th consecutive month of record-setting private sector employment.” Pence lauded Indiana’s 4.1 percent unemployment rate, which is lower than the national rate of 5 percent. “Obviously, the credit for that goes to all of the hard working people of Indiana, to our entrepreneurs and business owners investing in ways that are creating jobs,” Pence said. Prior to Pence’s conference call, the IEDC board reviewed multiple projects in the works. Among them was Regional Cities 2. Board Member John Thompson offered suggestions

Howie’s artwork on display By Mark Ambrogi• mark@youarecurrent.com Tomas Howie started drawing and painting in grade school. The 59-year-old Fishers resident then put it profile aside for several years before picking it back up in the 1990s. “I moved to the Indianapolis area in 2000 and have been involved in the local arts scene since then,” Howie said. Howie’s work will be displayed with that of several other artists who will have exhibits at the Flight of Fancy show. The opening reception will be from 6 to 9 Howie p.m. Oct. 7 at Indiana Landmarks Center’s Rapp Family Gallery, 1201 Central Ave., Indianapolis. The work will be on display until Oct. 31. “I’m going to be displaying landscapes, all recent within the last 12 months,” Howie said. “They’re all oil on canvas. I’m eager to see the response.” Howie creates charcoal portrait drawings on commission. Right now, his concentration is landscapes. “They’re impression painting, mostly oil, sometimes acrylic,” Howie said. Lately, he has started getting into iPhoneography. “It’s a fascinating medium,” Howie said. “You can take pictures with your iPhone, then buy apps from Apple, which are fairly inexpensive, and then you use those apps to edit your photo. It’s become quite a thing. My landscaping paintings and my charcoal paintings are what I focus on most.” Howie does most of his work in a home studio.

“It’s something that I love to do, and I feel fortunate that there are people that love my work and are willing to buy it and put it on their walls,” Howie said. “I’d say half of the work I’ve done in the last 15 years has sold. “ Although he’s a full-time artist, he’s also a part-time musician. Howie has played the drums for 50 years. He recently joined Fontaine, which performs original music. For more of Howie’s artwork, visit tomashowie.com.

By Mark Ambrogi• mark@youarecurrent.com Casablanca has been remade. Not the Humphrey Bogart classic, but the Fishers hookah bar. Sirine Khelifi, a Fishers resident, took Restaurant over ownership and re-opened Casablanca Lounge & Hookah Bar this summer. The hookah bar, 9775 E. 116th St., features flavored tobacco and different brands. “We serve alcohol as well as non-alcohol drinks,” Khelifi said. “We have milkshakes and finger foods for the bar.” The hookah bar was closed for a few months before Khelifi took it over. Khelifi said the previous owners did not sell alcohol. Khelifi serves as the manager and co-owns it with her husband, Noshi. The couple has three young children. “We remodeled the place and added the bar to it,” said Khelifi, who has a master’s degree in business administration. “We changed decorations to get more of a Mediterranean feel. We want to give it more of a comfy feel at the same time.” Khelifi has a DJ playing music one Saturday a month, which Khelifi said creates more of a club atmosphere. The capacity is 64. Khelifi said although the business is building, the number of customers coming to the bar are still not where she wants it to be. “Every person that comes in loves it, but we’re trying to get the word out,” Khelifi said. Khalif said she believes she has the only place where you can smoke and drink alcohol in Fishers. Customers can smoke cigars, too. Operating hours are 4 p.m. to midnight Sunday through Wednesday and 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. The bar has more information on its Facebook page.

Remember to KISS Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Surely everyone in our modern and enlightened audience knows the acronym KISS for Keep It Simple Stupid! As enlightened tailgaters, we need to remember that tailgating is a social event, where good, tasty food and drinks are served. It is a social event to relax and enjoy conversation and congenial spirits. Tailgating is not an opportunity to overdo cooking and grilling. When you see a tow-behind grill/smoker and a man feeding upwards to two dozen guests you are seeing a person that spent too much money and too much effort to accomplish something that any homemaker knows is not that hard. When planning your tailgating menu think of using items that take very little time to prepare and grill, but still taste like food from that huge grill setup. Here are a few rules that we are repeating to allow for more tailgating fun. Use extremely tasty pre-cooked foods that don’t taste like pre-cooked. When not using pre-cooked meats, use cuts that are simple to fix. Prepare everything possible at home in your sterile kitchen. Tailgate kabobs Ingredients: 1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks, 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks, 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks, One large sweet onion cut into 1-inch chunks, 1 1/2 Ib. bag Johnsonville Pre-Cooked Meatballs, 1 1/2 Ib. bag Johnsonville Pre-cooked Italian Sausage Slices, 11 oz. pack of Johnsonville Uncooked Kabobs (4 flavors to choose from), 12 French bread sub buns from the bakery Preparation: Skewer each kabob individuHoosier Park Racing & Casino – 4500 Dan Patch Circle, Anderson – hoosierpark.com Oct. 7 – Seth Cook The Center for the Performing Arts – 355 City Center Dr., Carmel – thecenterpresents.org Oct. 8 – Carmel Symphony Orchestra Oct. 9 – Indiana Wind Symphony Hopwood Cellars Winery – 12 E.

ally as pictured. Or KISS and make up individual skewers of meatballs, sausage slices and veggie chunks. Pack these into a sealand-serve container and refrigerate overnight. On game day put the skewered items in your food cooler for transport to the tailgate. Also add the package of chicken kabobs, unopened, to the cooler. Pack the sub buns in a paper bag with other items that don’t need to be in a cooler. As guests arrive, place kabobs and other skewered items onto your hot grill. Drizzle olive oil onto the veggies first. Everything will be ready in about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the skewers and strip them onto four separate paper plates. Keep the meatballs on one plate, the sausages on another, and the chicken on a third plate and the veggies on their own plate. Serve with your favorite mustard or other appropriate sauces preferred by the guests, like pizza sauce or even a teriyaki sauce.

HAPPY HOMES MAKE HAPPY LIVES. What kind of happy are you? Let our experienced designers show you the positive impact of a well designed kitchen or bath remodel that fits your style, your family, and the way you live.

Installing lighting for a specific area, referred to as task lighting, requires finding fixtures that fit your style and space. (Submitted photo)

Lighting options: How to choose

Commentary by David Decker

Live Happy. (317) 575-9540 | www.The-AffordableCompanies.com

Choosing the right lighting and light fixtures can be an arduous task. The key is know what your need is home improvement in each room before you begin. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your kitchen, family room, or entryway, you should first begin with understanding how you use the room before you begin the selection process. For example, in a great room or basement where you will need bright full light, consider recessed lights or flush mount ceiling fixtures. These will give you an overall relaxed feel and easily fill the room with a bright glow. Consult with a professional if you are unsure how to install recessed lighting or how big of a fixture to have for your room. If your room needs just a little extra light for a reading nook or to brighten a dark corner, consider a floor lamp with an upward glow. This also gives you the option of having a more muted ambiance if you want to avoid bright lights in the evening. Installing lighting for a specific area, referred

to as task lighting, requires finding fixtures that fit your style and space. For example, adding pendants above your kitchen island can bring light into your room quickly and easily. However, be cognizant of how far they hang from the ceiling. If you have an older home with low ceilings, know that pendants make the ceilings feel even lower, and sticking with recessed lighting may be a smarter choice. From a purely decorative standpoint, wall sconces or similar accent fixtures can cast an indirect light anywhere in a room. Often found flanking a fireplace mantel or as a decorative addition to an entryway, there are a variety of styles when it comes to sconce lighting. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering installing new lighting in your home and need some help along the way, give us a call at 317-575-9540.

Dalai Lama’s Temple in McLeod Ganj, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Home of the Dalai Lama Commentary by Don Knebel A 2013 survey identified the Dalai Lama as among the world’s most popular leaders. That popularity has made the town travel in India where he lives an important destination for admirers from around the world. In 1939, 4-year-old Lhamo Döndrub, born to a poor Tibetan farming family, was declared the 14th Dalai Lama and taken, along with his parents, to Lhasa, Tibet’s capital. Considered the reincarnation of earlier Dalai Lamas and Avalokiteśvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, Döndrub was renamed Tenzin Gyatso. At age 15, Gyatso, titled “His Holiness the Dalai Lama,” became the temporal leader of Tibet. In March 1959, during a failed revolt by Tibetans against Chinese control, the Dalai Lama and a small entourage, including his immediate family, escaped from Lhasa on foot and eventually reached extreme northeastern India. The Indian government allowed the Dalai Lama to set up a Tibetan government in exile in McLeod Ganj, a former British military town high in

the mountains of northwest India that had been severely damaged by a 1905 earthquake. Thousands of Tibetan refugees followed the Dalai Lama to McLeod Ganj, which became known as “Little Lhasa.” Today, McLeod Ganj, up a narrow road from Dharamsala, includes the modest residence of the Dalai Lama and the recently reconstructed building of the Tibetan Parliament in exile. The sobering Tibetan Museum chronicles the stories of Tibetan refugees and displays names and pictures of the more than 145 Tibetans who have self-immolated since 2009 protesting Chinese domination of their country. McLeod Ganj’s most popular building is the Dalai Lama’s private temple, where he frequently teaches, sitting on a large chair in front of a magnificent image of Buddha.
