Lancaster family holds fundraiser
Correction – The concert for Central Christian Church will be held March 6 at East Street Studios.
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Lancaster family of Westfield has experienced cancer too close to home. From 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. March 5, the Lancasters cancer will hold a chili dinner and raffle fundraiser at Christ United Methodist Church, 318 N. Union St., with the Relay for Life team, The Holy Rollers. The Lancasters became heavily involved with Relay after their son Spencer was diagnosed, and they have remained involved after he lost his battle to cancer in 2011. “The event is open to the entire community. Our church team puts it on,” Shawn Lancaster, father, said. “Half of the proceeds from the event will go towards my son’s, Noah, team. Noah is 15; he started a team to do something. Each year we have joined the church team, but this year he started his own team.” So far, Noah has a group of kids participating on his team. The group will assist at the fundraiser with serving and clean up. The full chili dinner costs $7. “In the raffle there will be everything from gift cards to craft items to larger items, like a couple of sink faucets,” Shawn said. “There will be other donations as well, like gift baskets, things of that sort.” Participation in the raffle is not required for

the chili dinner. Members of the church will make the chili homemade, and other members will bake desserts to sell. Shawn said he has a goal to raise as much as possible. “The year we had Spencer involved with serving chili, we raised $5,000,” Shawn said. The Relay for Life theme this year is “Lucky 13,” and Noah named his team “Oceans 13.” Yet there’s another reason behind the number. “Spencer would have been 13 this year,” Shawn said. “It’s interesting that it’s the 13th year of relay and Spencer would be 13.” To donate to the Holy Rollers’s Relay team, visit bit.ly/1mFTQEo.
City council summit – A workshop event March 5 will bring together city council members from all of Hamilton Co.’s municipalities in order to discuss important issues and share ideas on ways to collaborate.

The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Above The Table restaurant, located inside the Market District grocery store at 11505 N. Illinois St. in Carmel. Attendees are encouraged to RVSP by March 3 by visiting www.eventbrite.com and searching “city council summit” in the search bar.

As a part of the Federal Capital Improvements program, IndyGo’s Red Line transportation plan was transportation selected under the small starts tier of the program to be a recipient of a $75 million grant. Earlier this month, IndyGo was notified they would receive the grant. “In October of this year, (Indiana) Congress will approve the budget, and that’s when we get pre-award authority and can start spending,” said Bryan Luellen, director of public affairs for IndyGo. “It’s a 35-mile line that would serve Westfield, Carmel and Indianapolis through downtown and then into Greenwood on the south side. This Phase 1 is a 13-mile segment from 66th Street in Broad Ripple to the University of Indianapolis.” For the Red Line, stations will be spaced each half-mile. The transportation system is a fully electric bus rapid transit, which is the first of its kind in the nation. It would be a battery powered, all electric system. The entire project will cost $96.3 million. Construction is not planned to begin until 2017, and Luellen said the bus will operate

statehouse transit day
Transit supporters converged at the Statehouse Feb. 11 to share stories of how Indiana’s transit resources do not meet current demand or take advantage of the economic opportunities transit can offer. Hamilton Co. Commissioner Christine Altman helped craft legislation that created the Central Indiana Regional Transit Authority (CIRTA) in 2004. She served as CIRTA’s first board president and played a critical role in recruiting suburban counties to the organization. She was president until 2014 and continues to serve on the board.

leaders and lovers of learning.” What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their Platt children strengthen particular skills? “I encourage parents to understand their child strengths to help reinforce skills that need more practice.” Favorite movie: “There are so many that are my favorites. It’s hard to choose, but a movie I could watch over and over again is ‘The Holiday.’” Favorite musician or band: Johnny Cash.

Local elderly center gives seniors another chance By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Judy Schwinghammer was never one to look to water for healing. Yet when she had shoulder surgery and was still unable to use her arm very well, the Westfield woman decided to turn to warm-water therapy. “It got to the point where I couldn’t use cover story my arm,” Judy said. “I was devastated by the loss of not being able to use my arm. The doctor suggested water therapy but didn’t know where.” Her husband, Dan, did some research and sought out PrimeLife Enrichment Center in Carmel, but Judy was originally apprehensive since she had not been in the water in more than 50 years. After being a victim to polio as a child, she didn’t have full use of her leg and couldn’t swim. She began working with Betsy Fowler, a fitness program coordinator at PrimeLife. “Betsy just slowly worked with me through the months,” Judy said. “I would come in pain, and I would leave with my pain subsiding. Through those months, I started healing and getting better, and I realized she leads with her heart.” With her shoulder injury, the doctor told her to expect approximately eight months to heal. While working with Fowler, she healed in half that time In addition to helping with shoulder recovery, the warmwater therapy also aided with her leg strength and her self-consciousness. “All these good things were happening, and she started breaking through this shield, and I started talking more about

polio, and I realized she cares, not just about me, but she reaches out to everyone,” Judy said of Fowler’s teaching. “When you walk in to this place, it’s a place of hope. Many deal with age-related issues, and there’s such a great support system here.” And although her arm has healed, she said she plans to remain in warm-water therapy, as it has helped her with stress relief, muscle building, and has improved her heartrate and respiration. Dan originally only went with her for support, but began using the aerobic water classes to aid his arthritis. “We coined PrimeLife as a gold mine, right here in Carmel,” Dan said. “I want other people to know what we’ve experi-

enced here.” PrimeLife is not just for those with age-related issues or who are retired. Fitness activities are available for ages 21 and older, and all other activities are for ages 50 or older. “The water is therapeutic, even if you’re not doing therapy in it,” said Fowler, who has taught water classes at PrimeLife for more than six years. “Like with people who can’t work out on land because of weight problems can in the water because of gravity. It’s a slow progression, but if people stick with it, it’s worth it. Water walking is something anybody can benefit from, especially when they’re older.” While PrimeLife has helped the Schwinghammers physically, it also broke them out of their shells socially. The couple said doors are never closed at the facility, and they can speak with the staff whenever they desire. “We pretty much stayed to ourselves until we got here, and all of a sudden we are mixing with others and being social,” Dan said. “This has changed us. We are finding out there are some wonderful people here.” The couple goes a few times each week, and although Judy has healed, she still has one more goal. “I’ve got this dream, and I would love to learn how to swim,” she said. “I’m more open to the water, and I’m not so selfconscious anymore. It’s a gift.”

Pulling the trigger on the kitchen
FR O M T HE B A C K SH O P
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
It’s your dough they’re using Outgoing Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann said recently the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs and the Indiana Office of Tourism Development have launched the latest round of the Place Based Investment Fund. It gives cities and towns throughout Indiana the opportunity to apply for grants to support community and economic development projects. We’re all about making life better in every corner of this state, but we also believe it is important that everyone understand grant money actually is taxpayer money, and therefore it’s yours. ••• Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) told the Washington Examiner earlier this month the Select Committee on Benghazi, which he chairs, is pressing on with its controversial investigation. Gowdy said he believes it could result in findings being up for public consumption before likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) faces voters on Election Day. This squares nicely with the public’s right to know. ••• Here’s a debate we’d really like to see: Clinton vs. Chris Christie (R-N.J.). With his prosecutorial expertise, we have to believe the former secretary of state would be reeling just minutes into it. ••• We watched with equal parts horror and amusement a video of University of Oregon students, supporters of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Asked a series of questions, not one student could provide a substantive answer. The sheep-ish mentality is alarming.

B EL I EVE I T ! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In West Warwick, R.I., It is illegal to use water on even-numbered days for the sole purpose of watering plants, gardens or lawns. Source: dumblaws.com
Object lesson Commentary by Terry Anker These last few of my birthdays have found my children getting into a groove in the gift giving department. When they were young, a finger painted piece of construction paper would be delivered (and received) with unbounded pride and satisfaction. They were certain and secure in the knowledge that I’d love it – and, they were right. I did. My expectations and their desire to give came into perfect alignment. As we grew older, their thoughts and my desires drifted a bit. Birthdays, other than their own, brought a sense of foreboding, a concern that they’d not be able to deliver something that I might like or enjoy. And, I, at times, took their insecurity as indicating a waning interest in us as their parents. Maybe, I even felt a little sorry for myself. Then in recent years, our boys – now maturing nicely into fine young Americans – have brought an indication of anticipation and excitement into the exchange. They
have, as they once did, extoled me with their confidence of how much I will love their gift. Rightly deciding that a gift doesn’t have to come from a department store, they have taken to giving me gifts of their time. They’ve promised, and followed through, on finding activities that we could enjoy together and committing themselves to it. And like them, I’ve committed just the same. Isn’t the notion of making a gift to someone about showing them that we honor them, and what they seek, as much as we find our own joy in the giving? It is often said that it is impossible to “buy” for we men of a certain age. Anything we want, we already have. True. But perhaps, we’ve missed the point. Is it possible that a gift is a commitment and not an object? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@youarecurrent.com.
Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K Remember, happiness doesn’t depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think. – Dale Carnegie
It has begun. Today we pulled the trigger on our kitchen remodel, and for your reading pleasure, I promise humor to keep you updated on the inevitable bad choices, measurement snafus and stress-induced tirades that can only come from feeding a family of six with nothing but a microwave and a can opener. The redo is a long time in the making. Our house has not been updated in 20 years, and the kitchen in particular is showing signs of major wear and tear. Drawer faces are falling off, cabinets aren’t closing, and the all-white appliances aren’t so white anymore. The only part that has stood the test of time are the countertops, which despite my numerous attempts to stain, burn and permanently damage them, remain obnoxiously stuck in their perfect 1990s laminate glory. Interestingly, it was a commode catastrophe that finally got us ready to begin this massive undertaking: tree roots broke into the main sewer line, made a comfy little home for themselves, and then caused a massive blockage that sent fecal-contaminated water down our back hall, into a bedroom, and through the vents to the finished basement below. It was so not awesome, but the silver lining is we were able to make a claim on our homeowner’s insurance and gain approval for new flooring in the adjacent kitchen. In the grand tradition of “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” one home improvement led to another, and here we are. Our goal is to have everything complete by May, just in time for our fabulouslysouthern Kentucky Derby party. Personally, I don’t understand why it should take more than a week to install cabinets, place a countertop, lay the floor and slide in a new fridge. Seriously, how hard is that? But my husband Doo assures me we’ll be kitchenless for at least three, probably more and that at least one delay will occur. So we’ll see. Hopefully our handy man and various vendors come through, and nothing goes haywire, but knowing my luck, I’ll have plenty to write about. You’re welcome in advance. Peace out.

Boy Scouts to offer camps to non-members By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Boy Scouts of America offers several different summer camps, including community camps. The community camps at Camp Belzer in GEIST Lawrence Township in Indianapolis start July 5-8 and conclude July 25-29, open to nonCub Scouts from ages 6-11, both boys and girls. “It’s completely open to those in the community,” said Cara Wagner, marketing and public relations executive with Boy Scouts of America. “There are many of the same activities that Cub Scout Day Camp offers. This is something new we’ve been offering the last couple of years. It’s something we thought would be a good fit for the Lawrence community. It’s been received well, but we’re still pushing to make sure people know about it. We think a lot of people found out about it too late.” The week runs from 8:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. Friday. It concludes with fam-
ily dinner and campfire program. There is an extended day option for those that need to stay until 5:30 Monday through Thursday. The Cub Scouts’ Day Camp is held at Camp Belzer, which runs June 13-17 from July 25-29, six consecutive weeks of camps. Wagner said activities include archery, nature trails, rafting, swimming, making campfires, BB guns and gun safety. “The day camps are really popular,” she said. There are 11 different weeks of Adventure Camp at Kikthawenund Day Camp in Frankton. They are four-day, three-night sessions starting with the week of June 12-15 and ending the week of July 20-23. The Adventure Camp theme is “The Great Superhero Extravaganza.” Scouts are encouraged to bring superhero costumes. Additional activities include BB guns, air rifles and swimming. Weblos, Bear and Wolf Scouts also focus on rank advancement adventures. Wolf and Bear Scouts must have completed first grade but not completed third grade or be age 8 or 9. Weblos must have completed third grade but not fifth grade or
age 10 but not 11 1/2. For Boy Scouts, the two biggest properties are Camp Krietenstein, in Center Point, and Ransburg Scout Reservation in Bloomington. Among the activities are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) activities, paddle boarding, sailing, scuba diving, horseback riding, fishing and climbing. The Krietenstein camps start June 12-18 and end July 17-23. There is no camp July 3-9. The Ransburg camps start June 5-11 and end July 31-Aug. 6. “Camp Krietenstein has new aquatic activities,” Wagner said. For Cub Scout camps registration, visit crossroadsbsa.org/ cubscoutcamp.

Junior civic back for summer By Zach Dunkin • editorial@youarecurrent.com From the 3-year-old who wants to hear fascinating stories and enjoy snacks with other 3- and 4-year-olds to the CARMEL 6-year-old who wants to memorize a few lines and play a role in a short performance to the teenager who wants to hone his and her skills for a possible career in dance, song and theater, Junior Civic’s summer camps offer youngsters the opportunity to learn a few things about this thing called “show biz.” “These camps are for anyone and everyone,” said Holly Stults Haas, Civic’s education program director. “We get kids who are novStults Haas ices – maybe they’ve done a school or church play, but nothing formal. We get kids who are new to this and aren’t overwhelmed. And we have seen kids who hone their skills in classes every summer. Somehow you can put them all together and it works. It’s the magic of theater.” The June and July, camps are divided into three age groups: • There’s the Fairy Tale Players camp for 3- and 4-year-olds. In the 1 1/2 hour, fourday morning classes, the youths bring a snack for story time and spend time indoors and out using their imagination
to bring stories to life. • In the Storybook Players for 5- and 6-year-olds, the children are exposed to music, art and theatrical activities prepared just for them. During the four-day, 2 1/2-hour classes campers create props and costumes that will help them create their very own adventures for a “show” in the last class. • The all-day, weeklong Junior Civic Musical Theatre class is the most advanced. Sixty campers start and end the day together, but in between they are separated into their specific age groups of 20 by ages 7-9, 10-11 and 12-14. They spend equal time, singing, dancing and acting. At the end of the week, the entire group performs on the Tarkington stage for family and friends. “They learn that they really can do great things without being the Broadway star,” Stults Haas said. “We talk about the fact that somebody has to design the lights, design the costumes and sew the costumes and more. Theater is more than about acting. You learn certain life skills.”
IF YOU GO Registration begins March 1, and Stults Haas says the camps fill quickly. For more on specific times, dates and costs, call 853-6317, or visit www.civictheatre.org.

Myart to offer day camps By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In addition to continuing classes throughout the summer, the four Myart locations – Carmel, NoblesNOBLESVILLE ville, Fishers and Zionsville – will be offering a variety of four, day-themed art camps as well as a one day Friday camps. Camps begin June 6 and are for ages 5 and up. One new option is additional camps for ages 11 and up. Four day camps are 9:30 a.m. to noon and Friday camps are 9 a.m. to noon. “In camp we have usually five to six projects for the week,” Owner Sylvia Runningen said. “Each day we guide them through a drawing of the project and show them how to use the medium that the project is done in.” Themes include safari animals, farm animals, fantasy camps, sea camps, around the world, cartoon and many others. Mediums vary between colored pencil, marker, chalk pastel, acrylic painting, black and white, collaging and texturing. For the one day camps, Runningen said that typically two projects are completed. The camps for the older children will limit projects to three or four for the week, as these camps require more focus and detail. “We get repeated campers that come back every year, kids in our classes that sign up for camps through the summer, too, and every year we get new campers,” Runningen said.

CCPR adds ‘Where It’s At’ camp By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Dept. has a new addition to its summer-camp series list. Where It’s At is an CARMEL all-day camp from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., for ages 5-11, from May 31 to July 29. Lindsay Labas, CCPR marketing director, said campers can sign up for the entire month, the entire season or by week. “The focus of Where It’s At is more on kids being kids and not being as structured as far as enrichment activities or sit-down learning they do in some of the camps,” Labas said. “It’s really given them a chance to get out there and be themselves and have some fun. They get to become campers of the day if they are nominated for that by the group. They would get a certificate if they are voted by their peers. They can show their uniqueness, creativity and try to stand out amongst the group.” Labas said each week the camp has different themes. In the Where It’s At camp, campers will explore oceanic life, life on the planet, detective and mystery during I Spy week and crafts. “One week it’s all about fun in the sun,”

Beagle on a doorstep! Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Twenty-five years ago this week, I found a beagle puppy on my doorstep as I was leaving for work. Here are my humor memories of that morning, partly excerpted from my book, “Mornings with Barney.” On my doorstep, shivering in the freezing weather, was a tiny beagle pup. I couldn’t leave him out there, but I was on my way to WISH-TV where I had just begun as a feature reporter on the early morning news. My wife and son were still asleep upstairs. I placed the dog on the rug in the living room, figuring it was safe to leave him there for a few hours. When I returned home, my wife would be awake and we could decide what to do next. I’m an idiot. When I walked in the house, the dog was on the couch. The pillows were shredded. The curtains were yanked off their rods and one designer high-heel shoe, minus the heel, sat in the middle of the floor. The kitchen trashcan was knocked over, with the contents distributed everywhere. After an extensive inventory, we knew a lot had been ingested, too.
Incredibly, he had not had an accident in the house. What a good dog! My teary-eyed son descended the stairs with a beheaded teddy bear, another casualty of the dog’s tirade. “Daddy, can we NOT keep him?” The second day, I locked the beagle in an empty downstairs bedroom while I was on location for a television shoot. This dog didn’t have a lot of experience being confined. He howled until I got home. Ultimately, he howled for the remainder of that decade and beyond. My wife tried to be understanding. “Look, this is real simple, Dick. Find the dog a loving home or a minimum security facility. Or, keep him with you.” I took Barney to work with me every day for 12 years. It didn’t change his behavior but it changed my … and the lives of everyone else he touched.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: Options to Resolve Your Case Prior to Trial In family law, a majority of cases settle outside of the courtroom. There are many reasons to attempt to reach a settlement, including uncertainty as to the judge’s decision, anxiety about testifying in court, the potential to increase animosity between the parties, and the attorney’s fees associated with attending a hearing. It is common for a party to never step foot inside of a courtroom because the parties reach an Agreement on all terms without the requiring the court’s intervention. There are two primary methods to reach an out-of-court agreement: informal negotiations and mediation. Informal negotiations involve communication between the parties and/or their counsel concerning the terms of a final agreement. This process involves communication as to the terms of a final agreement without the assistance of a third party (a mediator or judge). In some instances, the parties may be able to reach an agreement on the general terms of an agreement and engage counsel to assist with the finalization of those terms to ensure approval by the court. In other cases, counsel for the parties will exchange proposals and draft agreements in an attempt to reach a resolution. In the event parties are unable to reach an Agreement through informal negotiations, mediation is a common next step. Mediation may be agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the court. At mediation, the parties are typically placed in separate rooms with their counsel and the Mediator serves as the neutral
third party who exchanges proposals between the parties in intensive and focused settlement negotiations. The Mediator’s role is to assist the parties in their attempt to reach common ground by addressing certain considerations as to an anticipated reasonable outcome in court as well as other realistic and pragmatic concerns with any proposed settlement. There are instances where parties do not reach an agreement during mediation. In that case, a final hearing is the next step as the mediator does not have the authority to order the parties to comply with certain terms or reach a final agreement. A recent trend in family law is for parties to engage in a collaborative divorce process. In such instances, parties are focused on reaching a collaborative agreement and hire respective counsel trained to do so. The process is similar in many respects to informal negotiations and mediation, with the ultimate goal of reaching an agreeable settlement. One different aspect of the collaborative law process is that in the event parties are unable to reach a settlement, they must hire new counsel and begin the process anew. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

coffees across hamilton county
Where to warm up with a cup of joe
Dispatches Commentary by Jason Conerly
Geist: Global village coffee
Carmel: eggshell bistro
The best brews from Africa
A little taste of Europe, in the middle of Carmel
I was always told that the best coffee comes from Africa. Well, I was always told that by my friend Daniel, who spent a good portion of his life living in Zambia. If Daniel had coffee from Global Village Coffee in Geist, he would probably be impressed. Serving Ethiopian coffee, Global Village Coffee truly stands out against other places that serve coffee. The coffee is earthy and sweet. Not sweet in a sense of use of artificial sweeteners, but a mild fruit-flavored sweetness. The lattes are well balanced as well and it is easy to taste the natural flavor of the coffee without being overwhelmed by anything else that is added to the latte. Overall, the coffee is good and contains a lot of flavor. Maybe my friend was onto something when he told me the best coffee comes from Africa. It was good to try Ethiopia first.
I felt like I was in Europe. The Eggshell Bistro seemed like it would fit right in, in France or Italy, which is good, considering the culturally different ways the coffee is brewed to achieve different tastes. This includes the Japanese Siphon technique of brewing coffee. The coffee that the Eggshell Bistro serves is unique. The “Three Africans” blend is delicious. Served black, it is by far a very smooth cup of black coffee. It is strong, yet the taste is smooth and there is no overpowering bitterness to it as one might find with an “Americano.” One of its best qualities is that there is virtually no aftertaste after drinking the cup of coffee. The lattes also offered by the Eggshell Bistro are nice as well. It has more of a creamy texture and highlights the natural taste of the coffee. Eggshell Bistro is located in Carmel City Center.
Fishers: Sure shot coffeE
noblesville: noble coffee and tea company
Long lines, but coffee worth waiting!
Coffee better than the conventional brews
Who gets up very early on a Saturday just to wait in line with lots of people just to get coffee? Apparently, me. It was the grand opening of Sure Shot Coffee at Vardagen in downtown Fishers and the wait for coffee was worth it. The coffee itself tastes fresh and has an earthy taste. The lattes are well balanced and does not taste too sweet nor does it taste bitter. The cold-brewed coffee is worth tasting. I would recommend this for fans of iced-black coffee. It is served extremely cold, and without ice. Another interesting menu item is “The Undertow.” It gives a hot and cold sensation once one drinks it. It is served as two espresso shots and packs a punch. There is a seating area on the second floor to relax as well. Would I wait in line with all those people for coffee again? Definitely.
“Friends don’t let friends drink…” Well, you know how the rest goes. That’s the first thing that I see walking into Noble Coffee and Tea Company in downtown Noblesville, a sign that reads how friends shouldn’t let friends buy over-priced, popularbrand coffee. The menu here is fairly simple to understand and seating is in a separate room apart from where coffee is ordered. If you are new to the coffee shop, the baristas are helpful in making a decision on a cup to drink. After having my first cup, I quickly understood why the sticker was on their front door. Their coffee had an extremely smooth and rich flavor to it. The brew did not taste like a dark roast or light roast, but something that had characteristics of both. If flavors are added, the flavors are not overbearing, and do not mask the taste of the coffee. Instead, the flavors blend together with the coffee to make a balance.

Day to perform in Carmel By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Since his fourth studio album was released in April 2015, Howie Day has been on a vigorous mission to support it. music “There have been some pretty intense periods of ‘go-go-go!’ since ‘Lanterns’ was released mid-last year, but I suppose that’s a good sign,” Day said. “I’m still enjoying being on stage, and people keep showing up.” Day will perform at The Warehouse, 254 First Ave. SW, Carmel, at 8 p.m. Feb. 27. Shane Piasecki will also perform. “I’m in this phase right now where I’m really digging the solo thing, pulling everything back — especially the new songs from ‘Lanterns,’ to a stripped-down acoustic vibe,” said Day, whose voice is described as a warm tenor. “I think it’s in this space that you can really feel what a song is made of.” “Lanterns” was funded by fans and Day himself. “It completely freed me up creatively, which was great,” Day said. “The fans’ feedback along the way was very encouraging. I’m really happy with how ‘Lanterns’ came to be, and I would totally look at something similar again in the future.”

Day, 35, said he is already thinking about the next music project. “I’m at this point where I’m completely in the throes of this album cycle and passionate about making people aware of it,” Day said. “As always, I’m thinking about the next project, but only in the sense of dreaming about it — there are no plans yet, and that’s what’s exciting. Endless possibilities.” Day’s second album, “Stop All the World Now,” was certified gold in early 2005 and produced hits “She Says” and “Collide.” Ticket prices are $35 and $25.

Smith’s band set for big year By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Former Indianapolis Colts punter Hunter Smith understands his NFL career helped him generate some publicity early music in his music career. “We have a novel beginning in that I was a football player,” said the Zionsville resident, who played 10 years with the Colts and two years with Washington before retiring. “That was an interesting thing but in reality it’s also a hole to start in artistically. People can look at you and say ‘this is really a cute thing that this guy played football and he can sing. But is he really good?’ We’ve passed through the interesting stage onto ‘hey, this is really good stage.’ Now we’re entering in the year where we are really establishing ourselves as a really solid band based upon really good music and great performances and not propped up on the crutch of football or any other novel sort of angle.” The Hunter Smith Band will perform at the inaugural Back Porch Revival concert Aug. 27 in Iowa City, Iowa. Blake Shelton is the headliner for that festival. “It will be music festival with six different acts on the bill,” Smith said. “It’s a great op-

portunity for us. It’s will be the largest group we’ve had played for. The organizers were trying to put together some country (bands) but with a strong pop influence. Smith, 38, said the band, whose second album “Story” was released in August, is increasingly playing more shows. “This year will be culmination of a lot of hard work and some good music we produced,” Smith said. “We should have a very busy year once our touring season starts.” The band will perform at Westfield Rocks the 4th on July 4 at Grand Park.

Jones’s second book a bestseller By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Rodney Jones’s second book, “Beat the Curve,” written along with 39 other authors, has been deemed a top-10 finance bestseller under finances on Amazon. Jones’s first book, “Uncommon,” was also listed as a bestseller. “The world’s leading entrepreneurs and professionals reveal our secrets to outperforming the status quo on health, wealth and success,” Jones said. “So that’s why we named it ‘Beat the Curve,’ because we outperformed the status quo.” The name was inspired by the Bell Curve, where the top, rounded part of the curve is average. Jones said he and the other writers had beaten the average curve. Jones’s contribution is the “Financial Freedom: Create for yourself a paycheck for life” chapter, which regards the stock market. “This book, especially my chapter, will help people set financial goals and reach their financial goals,” he said. “Most people spend more time planning a vacation than what they spend planning for their financial future. My number one tip is to sit down and create a plan.” Jones is still debating whether or not he will hold a book signing again. For “Uncommon,” he held one at Old National Bank in Clay Terrace. “All proceeds from the book go to a charity for international entrepreneurs, we help people from other countries become entrepreneurs and become businesses people and

start their own businesses and follow through with it,” Jones said. “There’re no royalties from the book. It all goes to charity.” Jones, who owns RL Jones Financial Group in Noblesville, said anybody can benefit from his book. “My target audience ranges from small business owners to laborers and their families,” he said. “It’s a broad spectrum and absolutely any of those people can benefit from any of my books.” “Beat the Curve” is available at amzn. to/1KnJynJ.

After a moving presentation by Be a Match to her Ball State University sorority, Alayna Troha decided she should giving back try to make a difference. The 2014 Westfield High School graduate signed up for the organization, which used a cheek swab to match her to a patient that needed a bone marrow transplant. A month after the cheek swab, Troha got the email that said she may be a possible match and needed more testing done, such as blood work. After months, she finally heard she was matched with a 59-year-old patient with myelodysplastic syndrome. Last month, she donated her bone marrow. For five days preceding the procedure, Troha received two injections a day to increase her bone marrow count. On the day of procedure, Troha was hooked up to two intravenous lines, one which took her blood and filtered through the bone marrow, and the other that replaced her blood into her body. For nine hours, Troha was immobilized during the procedure. “My parents had to feed me and stuff,” she laughed. “But I would for sure do it again. If I got matched again, which would just be insane, I would definitely go through it again.” There is a one in 540 chance to match with a patient who needs a bone marrow transplant. “It’s kind of funny, but I absolutely hated

needles, and now I’ve gone through tons of bloodwork and needles and shots, and everyone thought it was funny because I was such a wuss, but it’s just so worth it,” the 19-yearold said. “I don’t want people to think they can’t do it because they’re afraid of it. Since you’re saving somebody’s life the little amount of pain is such a small factor.” Contact between the patient and Troha will be opened a year from the date the procedure took place in case either of them wants to contact the other.
Dispatches Burn relief – If you burn yourself in the kitchen, mix just enough baking soda with honey to make a spreadable paste and apply to the burn. The baking soda will help cool the wound, while the honey’s antibacterial properties will stave off infection and speed up healing. The sooner you apply it to the burn, the better chance you have of preventing it from blistering. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com Bronchitis relief – Bronchitis is an inflammation, infection or swelling of the bronchial tubes. The main symptom is a cough but other symptoms can also include congestion, aches and fever. Here are some natural remedies to relieve those symptoms: 1. Ginger tea 2. Epsom salts – dissolve four cups in a warm bath and soak 3. Honey – add to any tea Source: naturalon.com Benefits of cocoa – Chocolate has been touted as having health benefits. While that can be true, it’s actually the cocoa in chocolate that provides the benefits. Cocoa is loaded with flavonols,
compounds that help prevent clogged arteries, improve circulation and reduce blood pressure. For maximum health benefits, choose raw organic cocoa and add small amounts to smoothies, shakes or use in baking.

The Shard from the Tower of London. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Shard: A new symbol of London? Commentary by Don Knebel
Critics of London’s “Shard” say it resembles broken glass. Erecting that building, the tallest in the Europe Union, required breaking barriers, both aesthetic and technical. travel In 2000, Irvine Seller, a London developer, got the idea of erecting a vertical city on the site of a building he owned just south of the River Thames, across from the Tower of London. Wanting not only to erect a building but to make a statement, he met in Berlin with Italian architect Renzo Piano, who sketched the design of an irregularly-shaped glass pyramid on a restaurant napkin. Seller immediately embraced the design concept, inspired by the masts of Thames sailing ships and London church spires, but a number of London heritage groups did not. One said the proposed building would be like“a shard of glass through the heart of historic London.” After an expensive public inquiry, the design was approved and the derision was adopted as the building’s official name. The site on which the Shard was to be
erected was closely surrounded by other buildings, including a hospital, which required demolishing the existing 24-story building piece by piece. To save time and money, 23 stories of the concrete central core of the new building, to which the floors are attached, were completed before the basement had been excavated, a technique called “top down” construction that had never been used on a skyscraper. The concrete core rose nearly 10 feet a day, with the forms aligned using GPS, another technique new to skyscrapers. Completed in 2012, the Shard is 1,016 feet high and incorporates 11,000 panes of glass, enough to cover more than 10 football fields. The glass reflects the changing colors of the sky, creating what some are beginning to regard as the new symbol of London. Critics are not sure they like that idea.
