DISPATCHES

[email protected]

Olivia Keith, a sixth-grade student at Sand Creek Inter-mediate School, was presented with a Prudential Spirit of

Community Award on Feb. 23 at the Hamilton Southeastern School Board meet-ing. This award honors students

who strive to enrich their communities. Keith was nominated by Sand Creek Principal Brent Farrell.

Keith was inspired to raise awareness about preventing traumatic brain injuries from personal experience – both of her parents have suffered traumatic brain injuries. Having seen the chal-lenges her parents face every day, Keith wanted to educate young people about brain injury prevention.

Keith has contributed in a variety of ways. She gives presentations at schools, provides tips for preventing brain injury on her website and Facebook page, and has created a game to teach kids safety tips. She has handed out 20 bicycle helmets at a school health fair last year and received a $1,000 grant to distribute additional helmets. Keith organized a bowling team to participate in

Quilters meeting – Mudsock Quilters Guild will meet at 9:30 a.m. March 9, in the Fellowship Hall of the Fishers United Methodist Church, 9891 E. 116th St. No quilting experience is required, just a desire to learn, share and have fun. For more information, visit www.mudsock-quiltersguild.org/.

Softball leagues forming – Fishers Parks & Recreation’s spring softball league is back; inviting adults 18 and older to participate in six weeks of play with games taking place from 1 to 6 p.m. Sundays. Cost is $409 per team for Fish-ers residents or $614 for nonresidents. Residence is based on team captain. Registration is due by March 27. Visit www.fishers.in.us for more information.

Parks activities – Baby Bird Pottery from 1 to 2 p.m. March 7. Children age 2 through 10 will create their own clay baby bird nests and eggs. For more infor-mation, visit www.fishers.in.us/parks.

Spring forward — Daylight Savings Time begins at 2 a.m. March 8. Set clocks ahead one hour. DST begins on the sec-ond Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Many coun-tries observe Daylight Savings Time, but the beginning and ending dates are often different than those used in the U.S.

Stormwater Utility bill — Stormwater Utility bills finance an unfunded federal mandate. It provides revenue for storm sewer maintenance, city right-of-way drainage improvements and stormwater quality projects.

Game day fundraiser – On March 13, the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Founda-tion will present the 3rd annual Game Day Celebration. The Foundation is cur-rently looking sponsors for this signature event. Sponsorships range from $500 to $6,500 and include a variety of benefits both philanthropic and marketing. Visit Game Day Sponsor Levels 2015 for more information. Many are exclusive and first come, first serve. Don’t wait to secure your role today! Each $65 ticket includes a tax deductible $40 donation. Visit www.hsefoundation.org for more information.

Statehouse – The Indiana House voted 73-21 in favor of House Bill 1273 to en-able construction of a new 18,500-seat multipurpose stadium proposed for downtown Indianapolis. The $82 million stadium would serve as a permanent home for all Indy Eleven Professional Soccer games and more than 30 other sports and entertainment events to be held every year starting with the venue’s anticipated opening in 2017. HB 1273 was filed by State Rep. Todd Hus-ton (Fishers – District 37) to extend a sports and entertainment development area to include the future stadium site and a new hotel to be developed by the owner of Indy Eleven.

“Foxcatcher” is one of the more overpraised films of 2014. It’s a deeply weird exploration of a famous murder of an Olympic athlete by the scion of a super-wealthy family, an exercise in mood that eventually gets lost in its own dirge-like fog. To read more, visit currentnightandday.com

“From the middle school, Olivia is our top middle school level recipient for her outstanding service to her commu-nity,” said Prudential Financial Manager Reggie Jackson,

who presented the award. “Your commitment and compassion represent the high ideals represented by this award.”

The award is sponsored by Prudential Financial and The National Association of Secondary School Principals. Keith was one of two Indiana recipi-ents. Along with the medallion presentation, Keith wins a trip to Washington, D.C. and a $1,000 prize.

“On behalf of Sand Creek Intermediate, Olivia is an example for all of us on how to think of others before ourselves,” said Farrell.

At the meeting, Keith also announced her new commu-nity project – providing belts for IPS students who need them so that the students don’t get suspended.

“Olivia has a heart for kids and can relate to kids to help make them aware of how to prevent brain injuries,” said Darcy Keith, Olivia’s mother.

EDUCATION

The City of Fishers presented information about the Safe Routes to School Program. “We want to provide a broader picture of health and an active lifestyle. We are looking at beginning a program to walk to school as part of a walking school bus program,” said Fishers City Planner Rachel Johnson.

Stan Good from The Crossing alternative school to provide the HSE Board of School Trustees infor-mation about an alternative school for high school students who have struggled in a traditional school environment in the HSE school district.

Principals Matt Kegley and Jason Urban updated board members on space usage for the College Career Academies in both high schools.

What it means: The city was awarded $31,000 to fund a Safe Routes to School pilot project. Harrison Parkway Elementary is partnering with the city to help promote an active, healthy lifestyle for students. Harrison Parkway students will pilot walking Wednesdays in April. The program also includes participation activities for parents. Board member Karen Harmer raised concerns about supervision and varying arrival times for children who walk to school

What it means: The school serves 9-12 grade students with small class to teacher ratios, core academics and job train-ing. All Crossing students participate in service learning in the community. Students graduate with a state-accredited high school diploma along with possible job certifications and essential work force soft skills.

What it means: Urban detailed equipment and space usage to meet the needs of students and teachers. Highlights included movable desks, combined science labs, collaborative learning space with operable glass walls and project studio space. Comfortable seating, gathering stairs and small group study areas will be part of the Learning Commons area.

What’s next: After the pilot program, the city will look to develop long-term goals for walkability and look to apply for infrastructure grants to contribute to help support the program.

What’s next: Several Hamilton County school systems are considering partner-ships with The Crossing to provide an alternative school setting for students who have been expelled or are in need of a different setting to succeed in high school.

What’s next: Building contractor Brad Skillman said that the con-struction is on schedule and should be completed in July, before the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year.

HSE School Board Recap

School funding formula changes need your support

Compiled by Beth Taylor

Commentary by Scott Fadness

School funding update: A step forward, more to go

Last month, I announced a coordinated effort with Hamilton Southeastern Schools to bring awareness to an important issue facing

our community—school funding. While our state legislators have been working on a solution and progress has moved forward, it’s still very im-portant for you make your voice heard.

The Indiana House Republicans announced and later passed a $31.3 billion, two-year budget that overhauls education funding to increase equity across the state. The plan would increase school funding by $469 million over the next two years and reduce the disparity in per pupil fund-ing. Currently, there is a 35 percent difference in funding between the lowest and highest funded districts. The proposed changes would shrink that gap from $2,934 to $1,618 by 2017.

Specifically for HSE, the proposed changes would mean a 5.6 percent increase in the foun-dation funding in 2015-2016 and a 2.9 percent increase in 2016-2017. The additional funding would enable HSE to operate without a struc-

tural deficit, keep up with the cost of living and address growing class sizes.

I want to thank our Indiana House of Repre-sentatives, especially Todd Huston and Speaker Brian Bosma, for stepping up to ensure HSE’s long-term sustainability. However, there is still a long way to go before the end of the legislative session in April. As the house bill now moves to the state senate, I ask that you take a moment to email your senator and ask him to support the proposed changes to the funding formula.

Your voice is important. The time to contact our state senators is now. Please e-mail Sen. Luke Kenley at [email protected]

and Sen. James Merritt at [email protected] to let them know why this is important for their dis-tricts and our state.

Follow me on Twitter @ScottFadness and like our campaign page at www.facebook.com/HSE-FundingForum for future updates and resources including sample letters to the legislators.

BLASTmedia evolves for changing media landscape

[email protected]

From product launches to retail sell-through initiatives, global brands such as

Adidas and GE partner with Fishers-based BLASTmedia to create

digital advertising, social media and public re-lations strategies that help reach sales goals.

“For us, the challenge is staying on top of all the new methods available to help clients sell more product. The landscape is ever-changing; there are new social networks popping up every day.” said Kelly Hendricks, founder and CEO.

Traditionally, PR firms would target maga-zines, TV and radio advertising.

“Now we do YouTube advertising, Face-book ads and Google Adwords to catch folks at all phases of the buying process,” Hen-dricks said.

Hendricks started BLASTmedia as a PR agency 10 years ago, finding opportunities to build the business around national and global technology companies.

“As marketing evolved and as the way consumers buy products has changed, we evolved,” said Lindsey Groepper, president of BLASTmedia. “We still have a robust PR divi-sion, but we now have social media, digital advertising, video production and graphic design. The growth happened very organically into those practice areas.”

Within the past two years, BLASTmedia has added local companies, including Form-stack and Haven, a Launch Fishers start-up company, to its growing client list.

“It’s been nice to work with local clients to have more face-to-face interaction,” Groepper said. “At least half of our clients, we never meet – we primarily work by phone, e-mail and Skype. That’s been a nice change.”

Located in the FORUM building, the com-pany has grown to 30 people and will move into The Switch building in downtown Fishers in the summer.

“Last summer, we were looking at a space

to move to in the mid-town, Broad Ripple area. I was approached by the Town of Fish-ers to look at staying,” said Hendricks. “I re-ally like what Scott Fadness is doing with this city, and I like his approach to entrepreneurs. Not a lot of cities are doing what he is doing. You’ve got a forward-thinking city council, and I thought I wanted to get on board with Scott and his team.”

BLASTmedia uses advanced analytics tools to help clients find out which advertising tools are making the most impact.

“When we started out as a PR agency, there really was no measurement or metric. Today, you have any number of different analytics tools that you can use to track any touch point online and see what is influenc-ing consumers,” said Groepper. “If you get a story in the New York Times for a client, and hit the consumer on Google and on Facebook, and then the consumer types directly into a company’s website to make a purchase, we can track from that first touch point. We are in analytics for clients every day figuring out what’s making impact. We are a very data-driven agency, so we’re able to track everything-what’s working and what’s not.”

Hendricks believes that his employees’ Midwestern work ethic works in the com-pany’s favor.

“Our clients on both coasts give us feed-back about how hard our team works for them. It’s particularly noticed by our west coast clients,” said Hendricks.

BLASTmedia employs four interns at any given time.

“Sometimes we do hire from that intern-ship pool, and we enjoy hiring someone who is new because they don’t have preconceived notions.” said Groepper. “We’ve been really lucky because we have hired good people who have stayed with us.”

“The environment is top-notch. This com-pany is unique. It makes me excited to come to work every day,” said Kathleen Shurtz, an account executive.

Commentary by Mike Colaw

A decade in youth ministry gave me a front row seat to a lot of messy lives.

Abortion, drug use, broken families, teen pregnancy and

lots of drama.It wasn’t messy lives that really bothered me

though. I expected that. I knew that was the life of a youth pastor long before I took the job.

One thing that really hurt I didn’t expect. In fact, I was a part of the pain and didn’t even see it at first.

This one thing that hurt me most is something I call Conditional Grace.

Conditional Grace, or selective kindness, we could even call it discriminatory love. It’s when a person offers love, kindness and grace to certain people and not to others.

Let me give an example.When I served in youth ministry a long-term

core family member in our church could have a child that struggled with something like a drug addiction, we would bend over backwards to help them out. That’s great. I have no problem with that. Yet when students that weren’t part of the “core” families came to the church with tough issues, often less severe, they were dan-gerous and I was expected to “protect the flock” from them.

Wait ... when it’s someone in our inner circle of kids that smokes weed at a youth camp we offer grace and want to help him through this difficult season, but when a student visitor smokes a cigarette outside the church before our youth services start we have to kick him out?

We all want to help some people, show them grace, as long as we like them. Can you see it? We want to help people we want to like, not those we don’t want to like. We give them the benefit of the doubt, we forgive the annoying things they do and put up with their difficult “seasons” in life. I fully agree with grace, with truth delivered in love. We just need to make sure it isn’t so conditional.

Remember, while we were enemies of God, Jesus came to us (Romans 5). He came while we were alienated from God and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds (Col. 1:15-21).

I challenge you to show grace to someone who doesn’t deserve it. Show grace to someone who you don’t want to show grace to.

I actually just taught on this a few weeks back. Check it out by visiting www.grace.luke117.com

Commentary by CJ McClanahan

Almost 12 years ago, I sat across the table from a franchise broker named Merri, who was

helping me through the pro-cess of selecting a business to purchase.

We had been working together for about 90 days and had looked at about six or seven different opportunities. After carefully reviewing each one, I had determined that none repre-sented the “perfect fit.”

As usual, I was eager to see what new com-panies she had prepared for me to review.

However, Merri had a different agenda for this meeting.

She looked up from her desk and got right to the point.

“CJ, there are two types of people who walk into my office”, she began, “Those that want to buy a business, and those that just want to tell other people they are going to buy a business. I am fairly certain you are the latter.”

I did not appreciate the question and left the meeting both offended and embarrassed.

A few days later something became clear – she was 100 percent right. I was just wasting everyone’s time. I either had to move forward or just get used to the fact that I wasn’t pre-

pared. Less than two months later, I quit my job, depleted our savings and started an executive coaching firm.

Most people I meet look a lot like the guy who was called to the carpet more than 11 years ago in Merri’s office.

They have dipped their toe into a handful of areas that are way outside their comfort zone.

They want to “try” something new and adventurous. Unfor-tunately, every time they are called to make a commitment they scurry back to safety.

It’s called getting outside your comfort zone for a reason – it’s uncomfort-able. The truth is that most of the meaningful growth you will experience in your life is going to make you nervous and scared.

I’m not suggesting that you need to take huge risks every single day – don’t sell all your pos-sessions and move to Europe with the family. Instead, what your life needs is clarity and deci-siveness. Get off the fence and make a decision.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

petually re-soleing and began to only allot those resources to the very best footwear. The rest, well, are put to rest as soon as the heels lose their shape.

So, back to the question. I’m wearing a suit in large part because I always have. It reminds me of civilization, and custom, and tradition, and seriousness. It’s not to impress. It’s not to in-timidate. It’s not to seek comfort. And, it’s not to make a statement of personal superiority.

It’s a uniform. It signals that I’m ready to work. It communicates that I respect you, our interac-tion, and myself enough to shave my face, shine the shoes, and tie a cravat. Isn’t that reason enough? It’s less about custom tailoring and more about tailoring a custom.

Commentary by Terry Anker

“Why are you so dressed up?” I’m confronted with the question routinely and take it in good humor – as I believe it is intended to be a mild jibe spawning from the interrogator’s own some-what slovenly attire. The bigger question may be, why do we wear suits at all?

As I pull together these thoughts wearing a grey herringbone that’s pushing 15 years old, I realize it’s a bit worn but more than adequate to keep out the cold. The tie was a gift; but alas, the giver has been forgotten to time. The white shirt is from my favorite purveyor in Hong Kong, Jim-my Chen in the Peninsula Hotel; but, for the first time my attention is drawn to the slight fraying at the cuff from countless trips to the laundry, always with heavy starch. I remember ordering it on my first visit to that dynamic and booming city. The exact year eludes me, yet it was more than a decade ago. The shoes are relatively new. A while back, I equivocated in my stance of per-

The argument that we, as a nation, are not much better off financially than those were in the 1970s should be something to consider. Americans for Limited Government, which we’re all for in practice, says one of the big head-scratchers inside the Beltway is politi-cians not understanding that the people they serve, the voters, believe they’re running in place. That means as incomes have risen, so, too, have prices. Voters believe that because it is, without a doubt, absolutely the case. Here are some startling figures, courtesy of AFLG (and please feel free to draw your own conclusions):

From 1976 through 2013, inflation averaged 3.97 percent a year. Household median income grew ostensibly at 3.96 percent a year. So, while inflation has slowed since the late 1970s, so have wages.A look at the Freddie Mac home-price index will show residence values have grown nominally at 5.28 percent a year through 2013, compared with median income’s 3.96 percent.The cost of sending the kids to college has exploded at 5.5 percent a year, says the U.S. Department of Education (which we would appreciate being shuttered), and wages obviously trail that.The Kaiser Family Foundation points to a rise in the cost of a family health pre-mium, which has risen at 7.6 percent a year since 2000, compared to household median income at just 1.7 percent a year since that time.

So as the feds continue to trumpet that the Consumer Price Index is historically low, espe-cially in comparison to the “Great Inflation” of the ’70s, it doesn’t necessarily reflect the items on which we spend most of our dough: mort-gages, rent, college loans and, now, mandatory health care. So, when your representative to Congress asks if you believe you’re better off now, tell him or her that you don’t know be-cause all you’re doing is treading water.

Here we are,treading water

Getting awayCommentary by Danielle Wilson

Four moms, three nights, two rooms, one foreign country . . . read on for a tale of the best girls’ trip ever! Or at least a pretty good one.

I’ll take credit for getting the ball rolling. After plans with my own sisters failed to ma-terialize, I presented the idea to my three local sisters-in-law. I needed a break from the cold and grey, and quite frankly, from motherhood and marriage. We debated between a high-end place in the Bahamas and a much-cheaper-but-decidedly-questionable resort in the Do-minican Republic. The promise of warmer tem-peratures won out, and less than twenty-four hours later, I had us booked at an all-inclusive in Punta Cana.

Having never traveled to the DR, and be-cause I’d been so busy with work, carpools and dead lizards, my preparation for interna-tional travel was limited to a spray tan and weather-check the night before. I had my passport, a credit card and a bikini, though; I figured I was set.

Turns out, a Spanish-English dictionary would have been extremely helpful, as we were the only Americans at the resort and our language skills were limited at best. (Dora can only get you so far!) Between the employees and the Russians and French Canadians, we were frequently in the dark as to what was happening or, as we soon discovered, what we were eating. The roughly-translated menu identified our meal one night as “Goat in Perfume”, “Rice with Best Meat,” and “Sweet Milk,” which by the way, was neither sweet nor milky.

Also lost in translation was my request for two adjacent rooms with double beds. At check-in, we learned we’d be staying three buildings apart and that SIL B and I would be sleeping together. We did have AC and hot water though, which unfortunately cannot be said of the other room. Sorry, ladies!

We ran short on cash because I was the only one who remembered to inform my bank that I’d be pulling pesos from an ATM, expe-rienced extreme turbulence on our descents through both an ice and a tropical storm, and may or may not have landed ourselves on a fake Cuban cigar outfit’s hit list.

And yet, this was one of the funnest [sic] trips of my adult life. We enjoyed stellar peo-ple-watching (those tight European-style swim trunks are a hoot, especially on the elderly), hilarious conversations (How would Doo look in that thong Speedo?), and as many shots of what sounded like “Marijuana’s” as we could stomach, which sadly was only one. Best. Trip. Ever.

Peace Out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

A beagle named Miss P is now America’s top dog. For the second time, a beagle has won the

Westminster Dog Show. Tails and tongues are wagging. For me, this news is incredibly wonderful.

Here’s why: Twenty-five years ago this month, before

heading out to do my morning TV show, I found a stray beagle on my front doorstep. Barney was sweet and loving but destructive and disobedi-ent. “You can keep him,” said my wife, “but take him to work with you.”

So, I did … for the next 12 years, and almost 2,500 TV shows. When he died in 2004, I received 3,000 letters and emails. The front page of the Indianapolis Star headlined it this way: “WISH-TV’s Little Bandit Dies at 14.”

A few years later, I was asked to write a book about Barney’s exploits, but I was reluctant. It would be a lot of work—and a tough task for me emotionally, so I wavered until the very last minute. Here’s what changed my mind. Uno, an adorable little beagle, won Best in Show at Westminster. He also could have won noisiest in show—not to mention the nosiest. Finally, beagle owners had something to howl about. Yes, this was the first time a beagle had won the coveted award. The story goes that a beagle was a con-

It’s a dog-beat worldtender back in 2003, but he went outside for a bathroom break and didn’t come back for three months.

Whoever was in charge of the cosmic sign department sent me a clear message when Uno was crowned. I knew people would be adopting beagles, so I had to write my book quickly—be-fore they all ran away.

And so, seven years after Uno’s win and 25 years after I found Barney on my doorstep, an-other beagle has claimed top prize. These past 10 years I was blessed with another beagle—now gone—who was just as troublesome as Barney. “What a good dog,” people always told me about Toby. “No,” I said, “a GREAT dog. Not a good dog.”

When Uno won in 2008, Gary Varvel of the In-dianapolis Star drew a beagle wearing sunglasses standing on his hind legs alongside a newspaper declaring him the champ. A copy of that drawing hangs above my desk, signed by Gary.

I don’t think a beagle will win again for a long time. Three top dogs from the same family seems unlikely. However, Barbara Bush might not agree with that.

Bourbon Women - an organization for women who are pas-sionate about exploring bourbon and the culture that surrounds

it - will soon have a branch in the India-napolis area.

Bourbon Women was formed in 2011 as the “voice and unifying body for female bourbon drink-ers.” Its mission: preserve the heritage that surrounds the making and enjoyment of America’s only native spirit.

“From its inception, Bourbon Women has been welcomed by professional women who are looking to expand their knowledge of bourbon and socialize in a unique way,” said Peggy Stevens, Bourbon Women founder. “Bourbon Women members can be characterized as sophisticated, strong, independent, fun and feminine, and our intimate and educational events cater to their interests.”

Stevens was the first female Master Bourbon Taster in the world.

“This was my catalyst to do something for women because as I would do tastings around the world, the audience was pre-dominately men. There may have been a few women in the back of the room, but they would only come up to me with questions

when the tasting was over,” she said. “When I started my own company seven plus years ago, I gathered a group of women from Kentucky to talk about the best vehicle to speak to women about bourbon.”

According to Stevens, women have been part of the Bourbon industry for 200 years in various capacities.

“They just never received the credit. Also, women are the other half of the population to market to, but the industry truly chose men as their profile drinker,”

she said. “Loyal bourbon women were out there, just not mar-keted to. This is a foundational reason we began BW, to help the industry speak to women in a non-commercial way about bourbon. We educate and mix lifestyle events because we know what women are looking for when they wish to be entertained, learn and spend time with girlfriends.”

Bourbon Women is a way for professional women to network.“It is a comfortable setting to meet other professional women

who enjoy our affinity for bourbon. Many women use BW as a wonderful excuse to be with their girlfriends outside of the workplace,” Stevens said. “We host quality events that educate, there is always a learning component. We also have created a voice in the industry, as we are already seeing a change in the marketing of spirit brands to women. We need to keep that voice and help the industry understand what women want.”

Two events, known as Sip & Shops, will kick off the Indianapo-lis BW branch. The first is 2 to 5 p.m. March 7 at Payless Liquors , 1225 N. Madison Ave., Greenwood. The second is 6 to 8 p.m. March 12 at Vine & Table, 313 E. Carmel Dr., Carmel. Each event will fea-ture extensive bourbon tastings, cocktails and food samples. The Greenwood event also will offer the chance to meet master distill-ers from Garrison Brothers and Hobson Roberts.

The events are free and no reservations are required. For more information, visit www.bourbonwomen.org.

Brace yourselves. On March 7, the Indianapolis Children’s Mu-seum will be filled with autobots and decepticons. They’re part of

the “Transformers: Robots in Disguise” ex-hibit, which coincides with the launch of the Cartoon Network series on March 14. Bum-

blebee, Optimus Prime, and Grimlock will be featured, as well as multiple levels of toys and puzzles to play with. In addition, guests can learn about the process of toy creation, transform themselves into Bumblebee, and even design their own Transformer.

A team from the Children’s Museum visited Hasbro to see how their design team has worked to create more than 6,000 unique Transformers over the years.

Learning about that process helped to inspire the exhibit. “It’s not something anybody has done before… it’s ours,” said

Charity Counts, associate vice president of exhibits. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing here in Indianapolis.”

At the exhibit, guests can walk through every step of the creation process; they can create their own Transformer design, test its 3D capabilities, and watch as a 3D printer at the museum creates parts all day long. Kinect technology allows guests to

step into a battle as Bumblebee, fighting in a battle based on the Cartoon Network “Robots in Disguise” series. Also featured at the exhibit will be the voice of Peter Cullen, who’s played Optimus Prime for 30 years.

Access is free with admission to the museum, and the exhibit runs until July 6.

This isn’t the first time Transformers have come to town. In March 2011, the Children’s Museum unveiled Bumblebee as a per-manent icon in the welcome center. The 17-foot, 1-ton Transformer is a prop from the 2007 live-action film. Then in summer 2012, the museum premiered a special “Seeing is Bee-lieving” program, with Bumblebee transforming from robot to Chevy Camaro (and back). A new program is coming later this month that will add Optimus Prime. For more, visit childrensmuseum.org.

Each year, in support of local artists and to expand cultural awareness in the Fishers com-

munity, the nonprofit Fish-ers Arts Council features exhibits by jury-selected

artists at Fishers City Hall. The next exhibit, running now through April 10, is painter Warren Miller’s “Reflections.”

Fishers Art Council President said the “Jury selected Warren for two main reasons.”

The first was his Pop Art-inspired images, which use bright, uncluttered colors in a way that they appear to be created digitally but are actually acrylic paintings, “which shows strong technique.”

“Even more compelling,” Vielee said, “was Warren’s perspective as a deaf artist. His work makes honest statements about being deaf in a hearing world.”

Miller specifically requested to exhibit his works during March, which is Disability Aware-ness Month, and each of his paintings reflects in some way the experience of being deaf.

“We were more than happy to oblige in order to raise awareness of the large deaf community in our city and build more understanding about the challenges...of those who are deaf,” said Vielee.

She added that many of his pieces also reflect the “love, joy and bonding that is common to every human being.”

“My artwork illustrates my views of deaf cul-ture and the deaf experience,” said Miller. “I want my art to serve as a bridge between the deaf

“Reflections” at City Hall, 1 Municipal Dr., is

open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through April 10. The Fishers Arts Council is also hosting a free reception for the exhibition, from 6 to 8 p.m. March 13 Warren Miller himself will be on hand to share the per-sonal stories behind his paintings.

Indy Kids Sale is celebrating its 10th anniver-sary of its spring sale at the Hamilton

County Fair-grounds, 2003 Pleasant St., No-

blesville. The sale runs March 12 through 14, matching outgrown clothes, books and toys with new families. It will also include special surprises, like giveaways and free shopping credit hidden around the fairgrounds.

Owner Lori Chandler works year-round prepar-ing for sales and spreading the word.

“It’s a great way for consignors to clear out their stuff and make some money, and for shop-pers to purchase some good quality items,” she

said.The event in 2005, with 15 families selling

items in the front yard of a home. The goal was to provide a way for families to make some money back on their purchases. Toys and equipment are sold at about 50 percent of retail value, while clothing is marked down 80-90 percent. Chandler expects to see 350 families sell 50,000 items to about 3,000 shoppers. Shop-pers can choose to make a contribution of $1 to $3, which contributes one of the

sale items to the local organizations.“It’s really a great way to involve the commu-

nity, benefit the community, and the icing on the cake is being able to support the ministries and organizations that we’re able to support through the process,” Chandler said.

Commentary by David Pletzer, MD

Weight management is a health concern for many adults. Since being overweight and obesity are linked to a number of chronic diseases, including heart

disease and diabetes, controlling weight – espe-cially as you grow older – is an important health priority. Here are some tips for effective weight management:

Eliminate “comfort foods” and foods that cause temptation. In addition to purging your pantry and refrigerator of junk foods that offer no nutritional value, consider which comfort foods tempt you and refrain from buying them.

Manage portion sizes. For weight con-trol, the amount of food you eat is often more important than what you eat. Use a salad or smaller plate when serving dinner, and consume only two-thirds of the food, saving the rest for another meal. This helps reduce calorie intake. Eat healthy snacks in between meals or drink a glass of water or tea mid-day to ease hunger.

Snack smart. While healthy snacking during the day can increase metabolism and stave off the hunger that often results in overeating at mealtime, avoid any type of snacking after dinner.

Make exercise or physical activity a daily

priority. Aim to exercise or do some kind of physical activity every day to burn calories, which in turn helps control weight. Daily walk-ing – even just 10 minutes down the hall at work or across a parking lot—gets you up and moving. Don’t let weather be a deterrent. When dressed appropriately, short walks are possible in most weather conditions.

Keep track of food intake and activity. Write down daily food consumption and exercise in a journal or consider some of the popular apps that help count calories and steps. It’s also im-portant to weigh yourself frequently to maintain target weight goals.

Seek help, if needed. If efforts to manage weight are unsuccessful, consult your primary care doctor. Your doctor knows your health his-tory and situation and can help you develop a personalized plan. He or she can also discuss diet options and refer you to sources of cred-ible information. Personal trainers are also good resources.

Commentary by David Pletzer, MD

At the beginning of each year, I typically hear the same thing from clients, “I want to lose

weight”. Now that we are two months in, some frustrations over this goal not happening might be setting in. Instead

of focusing on weight, why not take the month of March, which is National Nutrition Month, and refocus on improving daily nutrition actions that can help you live a healthier 2015?

First, eat breakfast every day even if it is a protein bar in the car. Eating breakfast provides your body with much needed energy, and many studies show it helps individuals make healthier eating choices throughout the day. If you are not used to eating breakfast, set an alarm on your phone to help remind you and use a sticker chart to reward yourself for consistency.

The second nutrition-based habit to focus on is packing a lunch if you work outside the home or are going to be out and about all day. Studies show that people tend to eat healthier when

they are providing their own meals not eating out at restaurants or buying in cafeterias.

Next up, drink water all day. I admit that I have one cup of coffee with skim milk most mornings. Then I leave my mug at home and take a water bottle with me everywhere I go. Take it in the car, into the office, into meetings or even into stores while running errands. If you have water available, you are more likely to drink it.

Lastly, focus on eating something every few hours. Eat five to six times a day to help maintain your metabolism, increase energy and improve mental focus. Even if you’re not hungry grab a palm full of almonds or a couple of carrots. Start focusing on these four habits and see what posi-tive changes you can create for our health.

From the clean lines and muted tones on the wall to the soothing and soulful music permeat-

ing the space, walking into the new Blue Eyed Girl Bou-tique Studio on 116th Street

in Fishers is an exercise in Zen and the art of clothes shopping.

“From the moment people walk in, I want it to feel welcoming and peaceful,” said owner Kim Kwiatkowski.

Kwiatkowski has dabbled in selling apparel and accessories for some time but always dreamed of having a storefront. With the boom in new businesses along 116th Street, she saw her opportunity to make that dream a reality in a community she and her family know and love.

With their Geist residence and their children attending school in Fishers, Kwiatkowski’s hus-band, Tony, said, “It’s neat to have a local busi-ness in the place where our kids go to school. We want to be a part of this community.”

Kwiatkowski said the business caters to women ages 18 to 50,

“I’m trying to appeal to the daughters and the mothers. That’s my biggest goal — to appeal to a wide audience, whether for something casual or a night out,” she said.

During her buying trips to Los Angeles, Las Ve-gas and other fashion hubs, Kwiatkowski looks for staple items that are high in quality but at an affordable price. She makes it a point to choose unique items that won’t be carried in every other boutique in the area and buys sizes to accommo-date every body type from petite to plus size.

Twigs expands with tea roomBy Nancy Edwards

A European-influenced home décor and ac-cessory shop in Fishers has added an additional

reason for visitors to drop by, relax and enjoy a cozy, quiet escape from their busy lives.

Twigs, 11643 Maple St., has recently added a tea room for guests. Whether patrons are in the mood for an afternoon break to savor Paris tea accompanied by a slice of bread budding with white chocolate sauce, or want to catch up with friends over a meal of chicken cream soup and blue cheese and pear salad, they will not be disappointed.

“We’ve been overwhelmed with the response (from guests),” said Debbie Cook, owner of Twigs. “Everybody is so complimentary.”

Cook credits the menu’s success to chef Linda Hynes.

“We make a great team; she is amazing,” Cook said.

Guests are also welcome to reserve the room for bridal and baby showers, birthdays, or other events.

“Most people who have (visited the tea room)

have called back and reserved a room for an-other day,” she said.

Twigs will soon offer afternoon tea from 2 to 4 p.m. Current best-selling teas include the black tea with cinnamon and cloves and the fruit-flavored Paris tea, with notes of vanilla and caramel. This spring, Cook will add several more to the menu. In addition, the herbs used for tea, along with spices, will be grown on the prop-erty’s future garden.

This summer, the tea room will have an at-tached glass solarium, which will lead patrons to the patio and gardens, creating a “cozy niche,” according to Cook, for special events ranging from educational summer gardening tips to a romantic candlelight dinner for two.

In addition to savor tea and dessers Twig’s spring inventory is on display and includes new jewelry and scarves in the gift shop, look for an upcoming wedding or baby shower gift, or gener-ate some home decorating ideas, from trendy burlap distressed to classic cobalt blue.

Twigs’ tea room is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with store hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.twigseuropeanhome.com or call 578.2550.

EmbroidMe is a new shop located at 9520 E. 126th St. in Fishers that provides custom em-

broidery, screen printing and a large variety of promotional items geared towards both

businesses and individuals. Owned by local mar-ried couple Dina and Jeff Slain, EmbroidMe pro-vides a place to plan for and purchase products for corporate outings, family events and more.

“Embroidery is huge right now,” said Dina. “We wanted to run a company the right way, to treat people the right way and give customers great service.”

Popular items the Slains have worked on so far are embroidered polo shirts, screen printed T-shirts, different types of bags, mugs and keychains.

“We’ve been telling people to come in and talk to us,” said Jeff. “We do more of a consult with our customers and help them find the products that are the right fit. We ask a lot of questions, including finding out the budget, and we can help people find what they are really looking for.”

EmbroidMe’s showroom is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. No ap-pointment is needed during those hours and the Slains are willing to meet with customers out-side of those hours if arranged in advance.

The Slains are glad to have the opportunity to build a business in Fishers.

Fishers couple opens EmbroidMe on 126th

“We’ve lived here for 16 years and we love it,” said Dina. “We’ve watched it grow and we realize that this is a marketable area.”

“The thing that is the most rewarding to us is that we get to build something that is our own,” added Jeff. “There is nothing like getting to build your own company with your own vision.”

It may sound challenging to work with a spouse every day but the Slains easily make it

work. “Dina and I have been married for 17 1/2 years,

we raise four kids at home and have been suc-cessful so it carries over at work,” Jeff stated.

“We’ve been in this community for a long time and we saw an opportunity for EmbroidMe and we wanted to do it together,” he continued. “We’re very happy we made this choice and we make this fun.”

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Dear Mr. Fischer, I have a friend that uses the words ‘so’ and ‘for’ interchange-

ably. For example, in-stead of saying, ‘Let’s put our shoes on, so we can

go outside,’ she will say, ‘Let’s put our shoes on, for we can go outside.’ Would you please tell us whether this is proper English and if you have ever heard this before? Thank you in advance. Cordially, Concerned Friend in Zionsville.”

Answer: That’s an unusual one, I have to say.“For” can be used sometimes as a substitute

for “as,” or “since” or “because.” The first example that comes to mind is Walt Whitman, who, in his poem “Pioneers! O Pioneers!” did just that:

“For we cannot tarry here / We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger / We the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend / Pioneers! O pioneers!”

All that being said, “for” and “so” are not inter-changeable – at the very least not in the usage you mentioned.

Question: “Hello, Jordan. I really enjoy your column in the ‘Current.’ I do some writing myself,

so I find your columns helpful, interesting, and informative. I would like to get your feedback on a modern trend in writing – one which I de-spise, but seems to be accepted practice now. I will frame my question in the very form which I’m questioning: What do you think about the modern. Tendency. To write. In incomplete. Sen-tences? Perhaps that would make a good topic for one of your columns!» -- (Orlando Smith)

Answer: Thanks for writing in, Orlando!What do I think about it? It’s annoying as all

get-out. I suspect it evolved from the scattered, quickly-written nature of text messages and online communication.

What’s to be done about it, though? I suppose we could start a letter-writing campaign. At the end of the day, I think you just have to keep fighting the good grammar fight. Stay strong, brothers and sisters.

Commentary by Don Knebel

The Boat Museum on Cairo’s Giza Plateau was built to display a single item -- a 4,500-year-old

wooden boat. Exactly why the boat was built remains a mystery.

In 1954, archaeologists discov-ered 1,224 neatly arranged pieces of cedar wood in a pit carved in the bedrock just south of the Great Pyramid of Khufu (also called Cheops), the pharaoh who ruled Egypt from about 2589 to 2566 B.C. After studying ancient shipbuilding techniques, workers eventually reassembled the pieces into a boat 142 feet long and 20 feet wide. The cedar planks are held together with vegetable rope, which was also buried in the pit. When placed in water, the wood swells and the rope shrinks, making the hull water-tight without the need for additional sealing. With no place for a sail, the flat-bottomed boat came equipped with six pairs of oars, the pair at the rear used for steering.

The shape of the boat, with an elongated prow and stern suggesting lotus stalks, resem-bles so-called “solar boats” shown on ancient Egyptian drawings transporting the sun god on his daily journey across the sky. Since deceased

Khufu’s flying boat? “Solar Boat” in Cairo’s Boat Museum. (Photo by Don Knebel)

TRAVEL

pharaohs were believed to accompany the sun god on his travels, some Egyptologists have speculated that the boat was buried, like the pharaoh’s other earthly possessions, for the pha-raoh to use in the afterlife. But a disassembled boat seems an odd choice for a deified pharaoh to use while traversing the heavens and the boat shows evidence of having been in earthly water before being disassembled and placed in its pit. So the boat may have been used to transport the body of Khufu down the Nile from his capital in Memphis to his tomb in the Great Pyramid before it was disassembled and buried to prevent its reuse by mere mortals. Or perhaps the boat was used by Khufu for trips along the Nile to greet his subjects.

Whatever its original purpose, the world’s old-est intact boat is as seaworthy as the day it was built. Khufu’s reassembled boat is now displayed near his pyramid in a building also displaying pictures of its discovery and reconstruction.

“The new layout of the bathroom is much more functional than what we had previously. At this time of the year, we have really come to appreciate and love the heated tile floor the most.”

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING BATHROOM: Located in Noblesville, this 11-year-old master bathroom was suffering

from water pressure issues and lack of func-tionality. “The original steam component of

the shower quit working, the vessel sinks were not practical and the original angles of the walls created wasted space. We wanted to reconfig-ure the bathroom to allow for a bigger walk-in shower and a larger tub.”

EXPANDED SHOWER & TUB: Once the demoli-tion of the existing bathroom was complete, the wall framing was modified to allow for the new shower half wall, bench and niches. New water lines and shower valves were installed for the Delta “Dryden” showerheads and body sprays. The existing tub drain and water supply lines were also relocated for the new Jacuzzi corner tub.

VANITY & CHARGING STATION DETAILS: The main single sink vanity was replaced with a reverse double vanity in a Sable with black glaze finish. To maximize storage space, the vanity fea-tures two lower drawers instead of false upper drawers. A linen cabinet was added to the back wall for extra storage that doubles as a charging station with built-in USB ports.

MATERIAL SELECTIONS: “We wanted more natural light in the bathroom and wanted the

materials to reflect rich and warm colors.” Cam-bria quartz in a “Sussex” color was chosen for the vanity countertop and shower parts includ-ing the bench, wall, threshold and niche caps. To contrast with the quartz material, “contempo tan” tile was selected for the shower wall while the “Gobi Corinth” accent tile and “Canyon Olive” heated floor tile add warmth. Oil rubbed bronze finishes coordinate with the warm tones of the cabinetry and floor tile. A glass panel on the knee wall allows natural light to stream into the bathroom.
