Hamilton County Parks to celebrate historic bridges Nov. 10 By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com More than 15 years in the making, three Indiana counties have come together in a unique way – via a bridge spanning the White River at event Strawtown Koteewi Park and White River Campground in northern Noblesville and Cicero. This summer, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation connected three bridges, each more than a century old, to create one bridge approximately 285 feet long. Now, the department is looking to celebrate the feat with The Historic Bridges Festival Nov. 10, with a dedication ceremony beforehand. Hamilton County Parks Director Al Patterson said the county has been working on the project since early 2000 after a friend of the Hamilton County Parks Dept., Jim Barker, let officials know of a bridge that was set to be demolished – Washington County Bridge No. 113. “Jim literally worked as a rocket scientist for NASA,” Patterson said. “He decided that he loved Indiana and bridges more than he loved rockets. So he came back to Indiana and eventually created his own firm, specifically specializing on bridges. If you look back through history in the last 20 years, whenever there was a major incident involving a historical bridge and they talk about restoring it, repairing it, Jim Barker is in the story.” A reconstruction of Hamilton County Bridge No. 21 – made using its original plans from 1890 – connects Washington No. 113 to Wayne County Bridge No. 229 on the Strawtown Koteewi side of the river bank. Washington County Bridge No. 113 For nearly 10 years after the bridge was acquired, it lay in pieces, stored behind a facility at Strawtown Koteewi Park. Hamilton County paid nothing for the bridge. It was acquired through a state preservation effort. “Washington County was getting rid of it, and by that time, the state was creating their historic bridge inventory and restoration program to try to help save some of these historic bridges,” Patterson said. “We were one of the first people to recover and restore a bridge through this program. “Washington 113 is a triple-intersection Warren bridge,” Patterson continued. “It was designed to be kind of the next big thing in steel-truss bridges, but by the time it became the next big thing, new technology was coming into place, going away from the big steel superstructure that you see up over the top. So, this was the only one ever built in Indiana.” Washington 113 spans 150 feet from the White River Campground River bank to its connection to Hamilton 21. Hamilton County Bridge No. 21 In 1990, the original Hamilton County Bridge

No. 21 was demolished. But after looking at historic bridges in other counties to bring to Noblesville, the parks department began looking for something a little closer to home. Original plans from 1890 were found at Ball State University, and the 35-foot bridge was recreated to serve as the connecting piece from Washington 113 to the 100-foot Wayne County Bridge No. 229. Wayne County Bridge No. 229 This bridge was built in 1904 by the New Castle Bridge Company. “Wayne County 229 also goes by the name of the American standard,” Patterson said. "It was literally built by the thousands all over the country.” To get the bridge taken down and stored in Pierceton, Ind., where it sat for nearly 10 years, the cost was approximately $55,000. In all, Hamilton County paid approximately $600,000 for the entire project after matching 20 percent of a $3 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration and the Indiana Dept. of Transportation. Upon entering the White River Campground off the south side of Strawtown Avenue, the huge, royal blue steel beams stick up from the trees over the river. Patterson said nobody knows what color the bridges were in their original state, but in an effort to make it stand out, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation chose something that would contrast with the earth tones surrounding it. A dedication ceremony for the three bridges will begin at noon Nov. 10 and last until approximately 2:45 p.m. The Historic Bridges Festival will kick off later that afternoon at 4 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public. The festival will include a performance from My Yellow Rickshaw, food trucks, a scavenger hunt and family activities like corn hole and a bounce house.

WANT TO GO? What: The Historic Bridges Dedication Ceremony and Festival. When: Noon to 2:45 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. Nov. 10. Where: White River Campground, 11299 E. 234th St., Cicero. Cost: Free.

Dispatches Students hold mock elections – On Nov. 8, students across Indiana will elect their own governor, president and senator in a show of active citizenship through Indiana Kids’ Election (IKE), an award-winning mock election program. IKE is based on the premise that voting is only occasionally done by inspiration but more often done by habit. With its special emphasis on encouraging students to develop one’s voting habit at an early age, IKE attempts to emulate the election process as closely as possible. Extended BMV hours – In advance of Election day, BMV license branches will extend hours Nov. 7 and 8 to issue ID cards and driver’s licenses that may be used for identification at a polling place. All branches will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 7 and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 8. License branches will only process new, amended or replacement ID cards, and renewed, amended or replacement driver’s licenses and learner permits. New driver’s licenses and learner permits will be processed provided the customer has previously completed all required testing. Naloxone distribution – The Hamilton County Health Dept., 18030 Foundation Dr., Noblesville, will host a naloxone (Narcan) distribution from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 9. Naloxone is an opiate antidote that reverses the effects of an opiate overdose.

PastaBowl totals 15,228 pounds By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Fishers community united last month in a friendly comaccomplishment petition to collect pounds of pasta for local food pantries. This completed the fourth year for the city’s PastaBowl. The competition was between all 21 schools in the Hamilton Southeastern district. Launch Fishers and Fishers City Hall also served as collection sites. On Sept. 27, the totals of the collected pasta were counted, equaling 15,228 pounds of pasta. This year’s total was the most pasta collected in the history of the PastaBowl. The schools collaborated with Meijer, Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation, Harvest Food Bank, Citizens State Bank, ProShred and the Fall Creek Township Trustees Office to donate to more than 40 local food pantries and Second Helpings by collecting pasta. “It’s really integrated. Launch Fishers has a site, city hall has a collection site, and several area businesses promote it, so it’s really a community-wide event,” Freedom Kolb, executive director of the Hamilton Southeastern Education Foundation, said. “There are several

reasons for pasta. It’s relatively inexpensive for our families to donate, but more importantly, it doesn’t have a quick expiration date, and it is among the most popularly requested from food banks and food pantries because it can stretch meals, which helps people that are struggling. It can please all pallets from a diversity perspective.” Traveling trophies were awarded to Fishers High School, Riverside Intermediate and Hoosier Road Elementary for collecting the most pasta in each division.

Well, here it is, the last installment. I want to say a big thank you to all of you who have followed the entire series, or picked it up halfway, or just started. I’ve had a blast, and hopefully you’ve had some fun reading along, too. If you want more “Inaugurally Addressed,” just incessantly email the editors. Remember, the more obnoxious a little kid is, the more likely the trip to Disney World becomes. But seriously, we’ve come a long way and covered a lot of ground. Robert Todd Lincoln, check. James Buchanan, check. Calvin Coolidge, quadruple check. The next time someone says, “This election is the worst,” you can say, “Well let me tell you about Andrew Jackson.” But that’s a long enough stroll down memory lane. I thought it’d be nice to offer you these three Hoosier election factoids as a parting glass. Enjoy. 1. Mike Pence could become the fifth Hoosier vice president. Schuyler Colfax in 1868, Thomas Hendricks in 1884, Thomas R. Marshall in 1912 and 1916, and Dan

Quayle in 1988 were the other four. I don’t know about you, but that’s more than I thought. 2. Three men with significant Indiana ties have been president: William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Harrison. Benjamin, an Indiana resident, was William’s grandson. Little Ben was 7 when William died, meaning they were all alive at the same time. 3. Indiana has been a part of 50 elections and has been with the winning ticket 37 times. That’s a .740 batting average, or the same as LeBron James’ career free-throw percentage. Interesting, right? Anyway, the election is Nov. 8. I know we’re all not exactly pumped about the prospects. But if there’s a takeaway from “Inaugurally Addressed,” it’s that we all get to do it again in four years. Whether that’s hopeful or dreadful, I leave up to you.

He is not the God of the dead Commentary by Michael VandenBurg As I write this, I am awaiting the onslaught of young children, all dressed religion in costumes. It is Halloween, or the Day of the Dead in other cultures, or as it was centuries ago, All Souls Day Eve (all Hallows-een). This time of year, the world around us is filled with signs of death in leafless trees, dying plants and bitter cold. They are reminders of our own mortality. These holidays were each attempts to acknowledge and pay respect to the dead before us and were our tip of the hat to our death, whenever that may come. In the Gospel of Luke, we read of the prophet and law-giver Moses, encountering God in a burning bush that is not consumed by the fire. But Luke makes a grammatical observation, that the God of Moses, as well as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is not the God of the dead, but instead the God of the living. In it, he notes the text says, “I am” the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not “I was” the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. All of these saints of God are still alive with him. God tells us in his revelation to the Apostle John that there will be a new heaven and a new earth that will recover the perfected glory

of the original creation. Halloween in eternity will become an unnecessary and unwelcome holiday as we will see no more dying, no more tears, no more illness, no more darkness, no more fear. We will face the future with hope and love and will walk with God in person, not merely in memory. Halloween, Day of the Dead, All Saints Day, All Souls Day, until redemption comes, will remind us of our own mortality and honor those who have gone before us. But when God brings about his new creation, we will no longer have any need of these holidays. So I hope you enjoyed the night of ghosts and goblins, super heroes and super villains and the sweet treats that the night brings. But I also hope that you will look for the new life to come in the God of the living, not the dead. To read the full column, visit geistcurrent. com. Rev.

Two Lawrence students travel to space camp for the visually impaired By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com In September, two MSD of Lawrence Township students got the experience of a lifetime at the United States Space Camp. For one week, the space camp tailored the cover story experience for 213 visually impaired students from 25 states and nine countries, including Australia, Ireland, Israel, Greece, South Africa, Belgium, India and Canada. Alexis Hapley, 13, an eighth grader at Belzer Middle School, has nystagmus and optic nerve hypoplasia. She said nystagmus causes her eyes to shake, making her vision unfocused, and optic nerve hypoplasia makes her nearsighted so it’s more difficult to process things in front of her. Kierstin Hall, 12, a sixth grader at Harrison Hill Elementary, has cone rod dystrophy, a condition she said causes her to have nearly no central vision and weak peripheral vision. Hapley and Hall went to space camp in Huntsville, Ala., during the week of Sept. 26. They trained in groups in flight simulators, on engineering projects and experienced a multi-axis trainer, walking on the moon, and even sleeping in dorms inside of a real rocket decoupler. “They have to have an interest in STEM areas. Both of these girls are straight-A students, and they both have a real interest in math and science,” said Cynthia Corbett, visual impairment specialist for the district and one of 86 chaperones during the trip. “These two were great to take and represent Indiana, because we were the only ones from Indiana.” Both girls were chosen because of their interests in science, technology engineering and mathematics. “It was definitely more hands-on than a classroom,” Hapley said. “Personally, I don’t like math. I actually mostly like social studies, but I mean, history of the universe itself is kind of social studies.” “My mom loves forensics and science, so I kind of got this science interest because she loves space,” Hall said. “I’ve Kierstin Hall always been experiences better at math a simulation and science of walking than any other on the moon. thing.” (Submitted Hapley, Hall photos) and Corbett worked

throughout the school year to raise $1,250 per student to attend the camp. Part of the trip was funded by the Lawrence Township Foundation’s Bridge Fund. Corbett has worked in her role as a visual impairment specialist for MSD of Lawrence Township for 20 years. “It’s an awesome job because I’m the only person in the district who does this, so I have (students) from preschool to high school,” she said. “I taught elementary school general education in IPS for 10 years, and I had a friend who worked at the (Indiana) School for the Blind. So, I got interested that way and went back to college at Butler to get my graduate work on it.” Corbett said she sees between 25 and 35 students each year, two of which are Hapley and Hall, who she said are both very focused on their futures. “I’ve already planned my entire life up until I’m 28,” said Hapley, who plans to become an English second language teacher through the Japan Exchange and Teaching program in Sendai, Japan. She is teaching herself Japanese. Next year, when she attends Lawrence Central High School, she said she plans to take the school’s Japanese language elective course. Hall said her mind isn’t made up yet but could see herself in a performing arts career because of her love of and involvement with drama and music programs. She said a STEM career is also possible because of her love of math and science. “If I do STEM, I want to be one of the scientists in space working with cancer cells, seeing how they grow (in an alternative environment),” Hall said.

Alexis Hapley gets ready for multi-axis training.

MORE ABOUT SCIVIS SCIVIS, or Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students, is a week-long camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. The camp is tailored specifically for visually impaired students in late elementary school through high school. Computers are adapted for speech and large-print output, and materials and equipment used during “missions” are available in braille and large print. SCIVIS is split into four programs where students learn about living in space, water and land survival, fighter pilot training, robotics and more. The four programs include space camp, space academy, advances academy focused on space travel and the aviation challenge.

Switchboards and other technology used at the camp accommodated visually impaired students with braille.

State law change to election ballot impacts straightparty voting editorial@youarecurrent.com According to the Association of Indiana Counties, Inc., voters planning to cast a straight-party ballot in the Nov. 8 election need to be aware of changes to the general election ballot which could impact their final ballot selections. Senate Enrolled Act 61, which takes effect for the first time in the upcoming general election, requires voters to select individual candidates when voting for any at-large offices. “Voters still have the option to cast a straightparty ballot, but it is important to note this option will not cast votes for candidates running for any at-large offices, school board positions, nor will choosing the straight-party option cast votes for any public questions,” stated Debbie Walker, president of Association of Clerks of Circuit Courts of Indiana. “Voters must proceed to that position on the ballot and make their selections to cast their votes for those offices or questions.” The Association of Clerks of Circuit Courts of Indiana and the Association of Indiana Counties urge voters to educate themselves about their ballot options. Walker, who also serves as Henry County Clerk of the Circuit Court, said, “On behalf of all clerks of the circuit court of Indiana and the Association of Indiana Counties, we want to ensure voters are aware of this new law and do not inadvertently fail to cast their votes for at-large offices.” Submitted release courtesy of The Association of Indiana Counties, Inc.

Voting locations for Hamilton County residents can be found here: hamiltoncounty.in.gov/226/Polling-Locations The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Bring your photo ID: Indiana driver’s license or ID, passport or military ID.

Explore Atterbury-Bakalar

O’Charley’s partners for vets

Commentary by Jennifer Ingersoll

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

The Atterbury-Bakalar Air Museum is located on the former Bakalar veterans day Air Force Base and current Columbus Municipal Airport. Originally known as Atterbury Army Air Field when built in 1942, the base was renamed Bakalar and used for reservist training through 1970. William Atterbury and John Bakalar were Hoosier war heroes. To preserve the rich past of the Base, the museum displays items of Army/Air Force history during the periods of World War II through Vietnam. Exhibits include an F-4 Phantom Jet, displayed outside the entrance as well as handcrafted 1/8 scale model aircraft some with a 15-foot wingspan. Meticulously created, all of the model planes either flew from the Air Base or by one of the museum volunteers. A barracks display shares the tight and sparse living quarters for the trainees, while the World War II glider pilot exhibit exposes the unbelievable sacrifices made by the brave men. Other exhibits include the Tuskegee Airmen and a World War II jeep that on examination show the driver and passenger were literally sitting on the gas tank of the vehicle. There is an exhibit dedicated to a brave set of World

Five O’Charley’s restaurant locations in the state, one in Fishers, veterans day one in Noblesville and three in Indianapolis, have announced a partnership with The Folded Flag Foundation for Veterans Day. The organization is known for providing scholarships and educational-support grants to families of fallen soldiers. These five locations, from now through Veterans Day weekend (Nov. 13), will be donating a quarter for each 22-ounce beer sold, and 100 percent of all donations will go directly to the foundation. Guests will also be able to make a separate donation on their restaurant bill. The Folded Flag Foundation awarded 44 educational grants for the 2016-17 school year, totaling $365,000 in scholarships. “We are so grateful to O’Charley’s for recognizing our cause and helping us make a difference in the lives of military families,” John Coogan, executive director at The Folded Flag Foundation, stated in a press release. This is the first year O’Charley’s has partnered with The Folded Flag Foundation,

Partnerships for Lawrence is giving veterans a chance to express veterans day themselves through the written and spoken word at its upcoming sessions of “Writing Home: The Stories of American Veterans in Words, Dance and Theater.” In an effort to tie the past, present and future together, the organizations said it is “allowing people to ponder and experience home in a unique way.” The theater piece will bring to life a series of letters from the Indiana Historical Society’s collections between Normal Vandivier, an Indiana naval aviator stationed in the Pacific during World War II, and his parents. Later, the event will be capped by the readings of veterans previously involved in writing workshops at the Indiana Writers Center. Creative dance interpretations will be performed by Dance Kaleidoscope. As attendees enter the auditorium at the Theater at the Fort, 8920 Otis Ave., they will be asked to share thoughts about home and a

veteran they know as music plays, or, if they are a veteran, they will be welcome to share their own thoughts of home. After the program, guests will be invited to enjoy refreshments and discuss the program with others.

Pining for an empty nest

F R O M T HE B A C KSH O P

It’s the best we could do? Nearly two years ago, we predicted here that Hillary Clinton would win the race for the White House. Polling this week leaves us in doubt about that. Her opponent, Donald Trump, has gained mightily in sampling - not so much because he’s “the answer” but because she is “the question.” With the unraveling of the Clinton machine - what with pay to play, getting debate questions in advance (thanks, Donna Brazile!) and total ineptitude with respect to email statements and servers, among other “attributes” - her campaign is looking sickly as we head for the Nov. 8 vote. Let us be frank: To quote the egomaniacal Trump, having Clinton as president would be a “disaster.” Having him? Questionable. The Clinton machine sinks deeper than any. Former President Richard Nixon was forced from office for the Watergate scandal. We believe that everything Clinton has done makes Watergate look like Romper Room. Is it rigged, as he suggests? Yes, we believe it is. The Democratic National Committee all but locked out Bernie Sanders, and, of course, there was the feeding of debate questions along with the Bill Clinton-Loretta Lynch “chat about grandchildren.” Please! Maybe it’s not the corruption that raises eyebrows here anymore, but how stupid the machine believes all of us are. We wouldn’t want her within 100 miles of a seat of power. These candidates are what we as a nation have given ourselves? If there is anything we like about Trump, it’s that he has brought the spineless Republican Party almost to its knees. If there’s anything we regard about Clinton, it’s that she married well. Sadly, that is that. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

A co-mission Commentary by Terry Anker A basic principal of the law is the distinction between commission and omission. One points to those times when a person is proved to have committed an act prohibited by a particular code or rule. Alternatively, one can be held liable if they should have taken a specific action but failed to do so. The former is fairly straight forward. Namely, one steals from another, violating the local law, and is held to account for the transgression. The latter can be a bit more complicated. Imagine a therapist who believes that his patient may have violent tendencies. Does the doctor have an obligation to report the potential criminal to the police or should he protect her privacy? What if the patient disclosed that she had already killed her husband and was storing him in the freezer – would the doctor be an accessory to the crime if he simply omitted disclosure? What if the patient killed again? Should the therapist have tried to prevent

it? Must he have? On Nov. 8, many of us will cast a ballot to select a new leader of the free world. And, we carry with us into the voting booth any number of deeply held beliefs. Some of them have been tested by close examination and others have not. Without a doubt, a few will negatively judge the choices we make. Others will sympathize. Do we have a co-mission – to vote and to make a perfect choice? If we cannot, can we opt out? Is how we vote as important as knowing that we did? This is a year where many believe committing the act of voting for president is a near crime while a choice to omit is a high road alternative. Can we judge those who vote “wrong” more harshly than those who fail to mark a ballot at all? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

As I sit contemplating a recent email, I’m reminded that my husband Doo and I are on the verge of something humor wonderful. The aforementioned message was from our medical provider, dutifully informing us that we no longer have access to our oldest’s health records, including the diagnosis and prescribed care for a broken nose he suffered yesterday on his 18th birthday (yes, the same kid who crashed his grandfather’s car on Mother’s Day, four days after receiving his driver’s license, was on the wrong end of a particularly hard and pointy elbow during a PE class basketball game. Of course, I’ve already been blamed, as I’m the mean mom who refused to call him out for first period so he could sleep in on his most special of days). We are now officially the parents of an adult, albeit one with a now slightly crooked nose. And even though science says his brain won’t be fully developed until he’s 25, I am within my legal rights to kick him out of the house and wish him best of luck. Hallelujah! Not that we have any mind to do so, but it’s comforting to know we have the option. Am I right? But I digress. The point is, Doo and I are fast-approaching a new phase in our lives, one without carpool duties, homework panic attacks and band fundraisers. God willing, all four of our precious little angels will be gone in less than six years. I know that parenting never gets easier, that my children will always cause me worry, but I have to admit I am totally looking forward to a Wilson empty-nest. So in addition to a dangerous but kinda-cool crossbow gift and a hilarious “What’s-Up? Chicken Butt” card, we celebrated the bejeesus out of this milestone birthday. A cupcake breakfast, Spongebob balloons and a Benihana dinner. Throw in an emergency room visit and you have the makings of, if not a perfect day, at least a memorable one. Happy 18th, my darling! Dad and I are thrilled HIPAA now applies to you! Peace out.

PROVING NEWSPAPERS WORK SINCE 2006

ADVERTISE: info@youarecurrent.com • 317.489.4444, ext. 2

Last week, an Indianapolis doctor published an article in the New York Times with this startling admission: “I will humor eat food that has fallen on the kitchen floor.” Pediatrician Aaron Carroll claims a kitchen floor is not that dirty, at least compared to other germ-laden parts of the house. Putting food back on the platter after it was dropped on the floor would be dangerous to my health. My wife would kill me. Dr. Carroll is the author of two books about medical myths, debunking fallacies like needing to drink eight glasses of water a day, the human’s inability to digest gum and that eating turkey makes you drowsy (Thanks. Now we all need a new excuse for snoring during Uncle Leo’s war stories this Thanksgiving). Dr. Carroll’s mentor is University of Arizona microbiologist Charles Gerba, known as Dr. Germ, who attained recognition for his famous study (this is true) where he numbered sheets of toilet paper in public restrooms to determine who used more paper, men or women. After his research was published, he was not invited to the office Christmas party. By the

way, when Dr. Gerba completed his study, he passed the research paper around the faculty lunch room. Many were skeptical of his germ theories, but they all ended up with his cold. Both Dr. Gerba and Dr. Carroll agree that the kitchen floor is far cleaner than the arm rest on your easy chair, and still not as disgusting as your can-opener, which is almost pristine compared to your TV remote. Toilet seats are relatively germ-free, at least compared to the handle on your fridge door. If you drop half a tuna sandwich on the floor, you can eat it, but if you want to put it back in the refrigerator, use your foot to open the door. Gerba also claims the most dangerous bacteria are on the handset of an office telephone. In fact, dining off a toilet seat in the company bathroom is actually safer, germ-wise. Bon appetit. By the way, I just heard that Kanye West might dump Kim Kardashian. I figure that after reading this column, you might enjoy a little dirt.

Pended sales up 6.1 percent Commentary by Jim Litten Central Indiana’s residential real estate market showed steady growth in September, according to statistics real estate compiled by F.C. Tucker Company. Compared to September 2015, overall pended sales rose 6.1 percent despite homebuyers having 2,118 fewer homes on the market from which to choose. The average sales price increased 2.5 percent to $188,145. Statistics for the 15-county region indicate 2016 pended home sales are on track to exceed last year’s results. Hamilton County’s pended sales jumped more than 17 percent in September 2016 compared to September 2015. Prices have also increased by 2.8 percent over last year to an average of $285,496. The number of available homes for sale, however, continues to decline in the region; inventory in Hamilton County slid 8.4 percent in September, a drop of 162 homes available compared to this time last year. • In Fishers/Geist, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 1.3 percent to $266,843. • Inventory moved at a slightly slower pace in Fishers/Geist in September 2016. Overall,

homes sold in 61 days – three more days than this time last year. • Buyers in Fishers/Geist had fewer options available to them. Last month, 520 homes were available for sale – 33 fewer homes compared to September 2015. • Pended home sales have grown in Fishers/Geist. In September 2016, 153 homes sold – an increase of 18 homes compared to September 2015. • Of the pended home sales in Fishers/Geist last month, two were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; seven were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 38 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 52 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; and 54 were priced $100,000 to $199,999. Despite the drop in homes for sale, home buyers are snatching up available homes rather quickly. Low mortgage rates and appropriately priced homes should keep positive momentum in home buying through the end of 2016. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

Tailgating in the late fall has its temperature challenges. Sometimes we tailgate in the cold morning and then sit in the stadium in the hot sun. Sometimes we tailgate in the afternoon sun and experience a fall in the temperature as the game proceeds into the night. So the question is, “How should we dress for the weather?” The use of layers is the best strategy. One should have a base clothing layer to regulate body temperature and move moisture away from his or her skin to a second layer, where it spreads along a larger surface area where it can dry more effectively. For warming nutrition, try this great recipe: Very Simple Tailgate Turkey Chili 5 ways This chili avoids a little of the fat of ground beef without losing any of the flavor we require for pre-game and post-game meals. You’ll find that the whole tomatoes are very soothing to your throat on a cold day. Ingredients: 2 lbs. ground turkey, 1 lb. spaghetti, 3 pkgs. McCormick’s Chili Mix (or your favorite), 3 28 oz. cans whole peeled tomatoes (un-drained), 4 15 oz. cans dark red kidney beans (un-drained), Olive Oil. Preparation: The night before, cook pasta according to package directions, then drain and set it aside. Brown the turkey in a large pot with some olive oil. Then add everything else to the pot. Bring the mixture to a low boil and then reduce the heat to allow the chili to simmer for one hour. Stir the mixture occasionally. Allow the chili to cool on your deck or balcony. Then refrigerate overnight. Put pasta

into paper cups with drain holes punched in the bottom to allow water to drain away. Refrigerate the spaghetti cups overnight. On game day heat the pot of chili to a boil, then remove from heat and place the pot onto a pad in your Coleman powerchill thermoelectric cooler to keep it hot on your trip to the game. You can also add the paper cups of pasta to this heated cooler. Or you can place the chili in a room temperature cooler surrounded with insulating towels and use your grill to heat it at the game. You can heat water at the game or from a thermos and pour it through the cups of pasta before you add them to your individual chili bowls. Serve chili over the spaghetti and add onions and cheese.

Fishers chorus presents ‘An Afternoon on Broadway’ By Heather Collins The Fishers Community Chorus will present “An Afternoon on Broadway” at 3 p.m. Nov 6 at Geist Christian free concerts Church. The Fishers Community Chorus is an ensemble of Fishers Music Works. It was formed in 2015 and consists of 40 singers ranging from 30 to 70 years old with a wide range of performance backgrounds. The FCC is an outlet for residents of Fishers to share their passion for performing with the community. “With different backgrounds and experiences, I think we work stronger as a team as each person can bring a different ingredient that helps mold and shape our unique choral sound,” said Schuyler Brinson, music director and conductor for the Fishers Community Chorus. “In many ways I think of it as the individual ingredients that are in a recipe. Each provides something unique and important to the food we’re preparing. When they are combined, you end up with a wonderful product. The same is true for a choir. When you combine everyone and mold and shape the sound, the end result is a unique and blended choral ensemble.” The FCC is a volunteer group. Brinson said he enjoys the challenge of taking individual voices and molding them into a unified sound. During the rehearsal process, Brinson en-

courages the choral members to perform and tell the stories of each of the songs. “I believe it’s one thing to simply sing the text, but it’s another to make the notes and words on the page come alive,” Brinson said. “An Afternoon on Broadway” features pieces by Indiana composer Cole Porter, as a connection to the Indiana bicentennial, and pieces from “The Sound of Music,” “Anything Goes,” “Carousel” and more. Admission is free. Geist Christian Church is at 8550 Mud Creek Rd. For more, visit fishersmusicworks.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor living spaces Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create low maintenance outdoor living spaces for both entertaining and every day life. 1. The deck footprint was expanded to allow for seating, making this a place for the family to gather and entertain. The Trex composite deck and railing material requires little maintenance to keep it looking new. 2. The staircase was expanded and relocated to allow for more space to dedicate to the grill. The grill now sits in its own alcove with a stainless steel prep shelf. 3. LED deck lights were added down the stairway leading to their existing outdoor fireplace to make evening entertaining easier. 4. Their screened-in porch was transformed into a three-season room with the addition of a new EZE breeze window system. These vinyl glazed panes have the transparency of glass without the cost or weight. When closed they can seal the room to allow for more everyday comforts like baseboard heating and more substantial furniture.

Before Background Info: This 2005-built home in the Dean Road area in Indianapolis was in need of an upgrade to their outdoor living spaces. The homeowners needed a better space to enjoy their lush back yard and pool area.

Before problems: The original deck was stained cedar decking that required a significant amount of maintenance each year. These active homeowners needed an improved outdoor living solution with easy upkeep. Their sunroom was in need of updates to transition it into a three-season room.
