DISPATCHESKehl recognized for service – FPD Chief George Kehl was recognized at the June 17 Fishers Town Council meeting with an em-ployee service award for his 35 years on the town’s police force. Town Manager Scott Fadness said he thought Kehl may have even started out as marshal those many years ago. “It’s been a great, great ride here,” Kehl said, “and I still enjoy coming to work every day.”

Concerts and ‘cuffs – The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office along with the Indiana State Excise Police has made a concerted effort to curtail underage drinking during performances at Klipsch Music Center. Recent concerts such as Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Zac Brown and May Day have resulted in more than 50 arrests per concert between the two agencies. In addi-tion to alcohol offenses, arrests for marijuana, false identifications, and other charges have been made. Officers will continue their efforts to promote safety at the music center through-out the concert season.

Turn around, don’t drown – FFD is spreading the word about a campaign from the National Weather Service called “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.” It stresses the dangerous and deadly conditions that occur during flooding, espe-cially when it involves high waters and flooded roadways, according to a news release. FFD will post signs with the slogan in areas that are facing flooding, as well as in public gather-ing spaces about the problem. There were two flood-related deaths and one successful rescue across in northern Hamilton County this spring.

United Front Two – FFD Lt. Dave Bobo was a part of a search and rescue exercise that included the Indiana National Guard, United States Marine Corps, Indiana Task Force One and the Israeli Defense Force called United Front Two two weeks ago, according to FFD Chief Steve Orusa. Orusa said the exercise’s scenario involved an EF-2 tornado, the type of catastrophe that struck Joplin, Mo., and, more recently, Moore, Okla. It took place in Blooming-ton. “It was a true honor to participate in that exercise,” Bobo said.

Next up – The Parrots of the Caribbean are tonight’s Fishers Summer Concert Series perfor-mance. Check it out from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Nick-el Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Dr. The series is free and picnics are encouraged.

Fishers’ future will be in the hands of its citizens sooner than expected.

On July 1, Senate Bill 343, will take effect. By law and barring any unforeseen ordi-

nances enacted, the Town of Fishers must then put the mayoral election on the next general election, according to Hamilton County Elections Administra-tor Kathy Richardson.

The bill was signed into law on May 8 and au-thored by Sen. Randy Head, according to Openstates.org.

It tackles several issues surrounding the reorgani-zation of political subdivisions and more – the center of heated debates during last year’s referenda.

Fishers’ voters’ first step to elect their mayor will come in May 2014 during the primary and will be fol-lowed by the general election in November 2014.

“The new dates, according to the recently amend-ed Indiana Code, give us a roadmap to follow in the transition to become a city,” Fishers Town Council President John Weingardt stated in a news release. “In the next few months, Fishers residents can ex-pect the Town to actively communicate every step

we will take before Jan. 1, 2015.”Weingardt said he and the town learned of the

new code’s implications on June 13. The town must redistrict to accommodate the

new council seats that will be added as the town transforms to a second-class city by the end of 2013.

Six councilors will be elected by district, and the remaining three will be elected at large.

In addition to having a new city council to elect, Fishers residents will elect a city clerk, according to a news release from the Town of Fishers.

“It’s (elections) coming to fruition in a timely man-ner, as was voted on by the Fishers residents (in 2012),” Brian Baehl, member of pro second-class city PAC CitYes, said.

Baehl worked with legislators on the bill.The clock is ticking for Fishers political heavy-

weights and those who may want to step into the ring.

Richardson said candidates have from Jan. 8, 2014 until Feb. 7, 2014 to file.

A candidate cannot run for the mayor’s office and for a city council seat.

The town cites amended Ind. Code Section 36-4-1.5-3 and 36-4-6-3 for the elections taking place in 2014 and redistricting, respectively.

Christopher Lloyd is not sure what’s harder to watch: a movie that starts out well and then collapses or a film that never had any idea how to be good in the first place. That’s the case with “The Call,” a tightly-coiled thriller that is really suspenseful through the first two acts and then rolls off a cliff during the last half-hour.

DVD Review

Managing Editor Dan Dom-sic re-flects on break-ing the news about the mayoral election in an abbrevi-ated column. His view: Politics are about to get interesing

Since Andy Ray can’t keep some peo-ple from biblically justifying their dis-crimination against homosexuals, he’s decided to simply give up and join their ranks. This means he’ll limit his understanding of marriage to Old Testament passages and will have to also believe (and act on) the other 613 ancient Jewish laws expressed in the first five books of the Old Testament.

What happened: Two approval requests, one for Delaware Township and one for Fall Creek Town-ship, for fire and EMS service contracts were pulled from the consent agenda.

What it means: The consent agenda is usually approved altogether, unless the council has major ques-tions concerning individual items. These contracts regard the two townships’ payment to Fishers for fire

protection ($258,163.10 from Delaware and $409,246.36 from Fall Creek). Coun-cilor Scott Faultless requested the items be pulled.Faultless asked whether the contracts covered FFD’s and a percentage of the administration’s budget. Town

Manager Scott Fadness further delineated “the full costing.” Faultless disagreed with the town manager’s explanation and laid out why he disagreed with the contracts. “From my perspective, full costing is we should not be subsidizing, like we are, folks who live in the townships,” he said. “If they want the benefit of the town services, they can file a petition to annex, and we can act accordingly.” Councilor Pete Peter-son said forced annexation is the town’s means for dealing with such costs, and Faultless stated he was not for forced annexation, but going forward would not support doling out town services “piecemeal.” Coun-cilor Stuart Easley said he would like to have the town manager come back to the council with whether the town will reconsider or analyze pockets of unincorporated townships using town services.

What happened: The council discussed town-wide trash pick-up and recycling during the work session.

What it means: A town staffer broke down the data from speaking with residents concerning possible town-wide trash pickup. Of the responses the town received and tabulated from a public comment sheet, 186 people were for a town-wide contract, 189 were against it and 19 were undecided. The councilors asked questions and gave feedback on the notion. Easley wanted further information on how many residents will see increases and decreases in what they pay. Further dif-ficulties arise in figuring out what vendors charge customers as a whole because it’s considered proprietary information. More issues were brought up with the town-wide endeavor.

What’s next: Staff took the council’s feedback for further investigation. Going forward, the council, by consensus, was receptive to the idea of rejecting the bids and then starting the bid process again, this time looking for alternates that would allow people to opt-out of a town-wide contract, as well provisions for “snow-birds” that don’t live in Fishers during the winter. Fadness said the matter will return in a future meeting’s agenda.

What happened: Execution of the project agreement for the mixed-use development on 116th Street in front of town hall was approved in a resolution.

What it means: The council gave its approval to a handful of items, including this one, which moves the town closer to the mixed-use development. It puts the responsibilities of the partners into perspective.

What’s next: The town is on the hook for $10.75 million of funding for the project, which is planned to break ground in August.

COmmUNITY

What’s next: Approval for the contracts passed 6-1 and requires no further action.

For Hamilton Southeastern School District Teacher of the Year Meg Strnat, a classroom is all about facilitation and having students ask

questions, not being the per-son with all the answers.

“(I’m) trying to create an environment where they start decid-ing how they’re (students) going to do it, rather than thinking that I’m the person that has all the answers,” Strnat said.

Strnat is a fourth-grade teacher at Cumberland Road Elementary School. She teaches a self-contained class that’s part of the district’s REACH pro-gram, which is for high-ability students.

While Strnat has been teaching for nine years, it wasn’t her first career path.

She worked in banking, as well as spent time working and volunteering in schools when her kids went through the education system.

She was asked to be an instructional assis-tant and then, eventually, a science coordinator and teacher at Skiles Elementary in Lawerence Township.

“I did that for two years, and I fell in love with teaching then,” Strnat said. “I was lucky because it was a hands-on way of teaching.”

Strnat was introduced to an “open-ended”

form of teaching and loved it enough to go to Indiana University for a master’s degree in edu-cation to go on top of her undergraduate degree in economics and an MBA.

“It’s like I had to do all these other things in life and this is what I was meant to do,” she said, “but I couldn’t skip to what I did to get here.”

While seminars and other teaching opportuni-ties came and went in the banking world, it took inquisitive minds to push Strnat to make up hers.

She said what grabbed her attention was working with young minds that required constant attentiveness and reaction.

Strnat partially credits her success to having an open-ended, yet interconnected classroom that allows students to decide

how they want to achieve daily goals. “I really credit the students because they rise

to the challenge every year,” she said. “If they fail, it’s my failing. If they succeed, it’s theirs.”

Strnat also incorporates engineering projects into her curriculum and has outside experts come in for special projects like Lego Mind-storms, a special segment of the popular building blocks that incorporates computer programming.

According to a news release, Strnat is the recipient of several awards during the past six years, including the 2012 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Pre-University Educa-tor Award.

Real Estate AuctionThursday June 27 11 am

In Indiana in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties (typically the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are based on the concept that one parent undertakes paying for the primary costs of the child(ren); therefore, that parent “controls” the children’s expenses and receives support to assist with these costs.

Who pays these costs? In any matter where child support is exchanged, the child support payee, or support recipient, is responsible for the child(ren)’s “controlled expenses.” For example, the custodial parent buys a winter coat for the child. The noncustodial parent will not be obligated buy another one and the coat will travel back and forth to both residences. In general, these controlled expenses account for 15% of the cost of raising the child and are factored in the calculation of support accordingly. Along those lines, the more time the parents share, the more expenses are duplicated and transferred, and are thereby “shared” under the child support calculation and are balanced through the parenting time credit.

Alternatively, transferred or duplicated expenses are incurred by both parents. Expenses such as food and transportation are incurred by both parents during the periods the children are with them and “transfer” between the parents. Similarly, duplicated expenses arise as a necessary part of maintaining two households for the child(ren), such as the costs of the residences themselves, which are not transferred when the child(ren) move(s) from one parent’s residence to the other. These costs/expenses

remain �xed in each parent’s household and, accordingly, are considered “duplicated” expenditures.

What are controlled expenses? Controlled expenses for the child(ren) are not those which are typically transferred or duplicated between households. Unlike transferred or duplicated expenses, controlled expenses are items like clothing, education, school books and supplies, ordinary uninsured health care and personal care. Unfortunately, there is no exhaustive or comprehensive list. The controlled expenses are those �xed expenses of the parent who is (generally) receiving child support under the Indiana Child Support Guidelines.

Controlled expenses are generally not a consideration unless there is equal parenting time. The Guidelines also note that these categories of expenses are not pertinent for litigation. They are presented only to explain the factors used in developing the parenting time credit formula. In reality, it is not uncommon for disagreements to occur regarding the controlled expenses, for instance, in both de�nition and application of any provisions needed to assign these costs to one parent or the other. If you �nd yourself in such a situation, you would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel in reaching a resolution to the issue at hand.

AUTISM CLINIC OF INDIANANew hope for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD

10142 Brooks School Road, Ste. 220 Fishers, IN | 317.845.8883

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing.

Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.”- Renee and Ted Zlotopolski, Arnold, MO

“While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments. Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans AcceptedGenetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing

• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having dif�culty making friends?• IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions? • FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home?• HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep? • ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions?If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.

We want to thank all of our shoppers & consignors for such a successful spring

season. Due to the success, Indy Kids Sale was able to donate money to the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. Because of you, dozens of kids who would not have had the opportunity will now be able to be a part of the YMCA programs. Thank you!

Most individuals have a difficult time seeing the silver lining with a cancer diagnosis, but Amanda

Milner used cancer as a way to help support

other victims. Milner, a survivor of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma,

is a founder/executive director of Fair Haven Foundation, a nonprofit Christian organiza-tion that provides free, temporary housing for adult cancer patients and their families who are not from the greater Indianapolis area.

“There is such a huge need for housing for patients and their families. My hope for patients served is that they would know that they are loved and cared for

and that they are not alone.”The organization also partners with local churches

that check on patients and families, serve them a home-cooked meal and serve as a family support

system away from home.Milner’s children also volunteer for the

organization through their church, Bridgeway Community. Milner and her husband, Mike, have four children: Michael, Rachel, Zachary and Caleb. The family has lived in Fishers for the past 12 years and enjoy swimming at the YMCA and spending time at Billericay Park.

“It's a great way to spend time together,” Milner said.

Milner said she loves living in Fishers, is grateful for the local schools and teachers and called her hometown “a great place to raise a family.”

Exploring 4-H Day Camp




This weekend, the Fishers Freedom Festival will take over Roy G. Holland Memorial Park for

the 25th year in a row. What started out as a

small community gather-ing in 1989 bloomed into a gargantuan endeavor, requiring 390 volunteers to operate this year, according to Jennifer Kehl, the festival’s execu-tive director.

In its 25 years, aspects of the festival were added or changed but one thing hasn’t – the need for dedicated folks to make it all happen.

Don Dragoo, the president of the Fishers Free-dom Festival’s board, Darcy Bryant and Rhonda Wright are three people from the original crew that came together to make the first festival happen. The trio, after all these years, continues to volunteer its time to Fishers Freedom Festival.

While there are memorable highlights, the experience is more than a parade, food and fireworks.

It’s family, exemplary of Fishers, part of the town’s spirit, tradition and fond memories.

“I’ve been to CarmelFest,” Bryant said, “and I’ve

been to the other festivals, and they do a very nice job… It’s just there’s something different about the Fishers Freedom Festival.”

“No matter how big we get, I don’t think we’re

ever going to be unconnected,” Bryant said..“We wanted to have something that celebrated

Fourth of July, patriotism, something for the kids, something that was basically free,” Bryant said.

A group of friends put together the idea and the Fishers Freedom Festival was born.

Wright, who grew up in Fishers, wanted her kids to have childhood memories like she does.

She said during the 1960s the town’s main street was cordoned off for activities and a fish fry.

“My reason for basically getting involved was I wanted my kids to grow up with a memory of something with the town,” Wright said.

The volunteers’ kids grew up with those mem-ories, as well as having more watchful parent-figures than a small family might expect.

“We just became a family,” Bryant said. And with the group’s kids, the Fishers Free-

dom Festival grew up and changed along the

way.“The first year we just had some free games

for the kids with prizes and some clowns and music and a parade that went through Sunblest neighborhood, and it wasn’t really until the sec-ond year that we branched out to do a lot more things,” Bryant said.

A business tent was added along the way and more aspects of the festival expanded.

Fishers Freedom Festival’s Main Parade would eventually branch out of Sunblest, where Bry-ant pointed out it was commonplace for Fishers folks to offer parade participants a drink or a spray from water hoses at the curb.

But Dragoo said one of the most memorable moments from the festival’s history occurred years ago, involving the Main Parade after it switched routes to include 116th Street.

Rain fell on everyone standing ready in the parade divisions. There were no reports of thun-der or lightning, so Dragoo made the call to go forward with the parade.

He gave participants the option to pack it in, and a few did, but the parade went on.

“I remember it was raining, and we pulled from Lantern Road onto 116th Street, and it was packed,” Dragoo said. “It did not scare people away or drive people away. Both sides of the

First Freedom Festival queen returns

Lindsay Kouwe Shaw was the first Fishers Royal Court Queen in 1989. (Submitted photo)

Shaw

By Nancy Edwards • [email protected]

Lindsay Kouwe Shaw was only 5 years old when she was named queen of the first Fishers Freedom Festival. Now all

grown up, she recalls what being part of the festivities was like at the time.

“I remember I was so excited,” Shaw said. “I swear I thought I was older at the time.”

Shaw will return for this year’s 25th anniversary of the festival and ride in a convertible during the parade while wav-ing to crowds as she did as a child.

“There’s a picture of me and my little brother riding in the convertible 25 years

ago,” she said. “He looked at me like I was the coolest.”The days of dressing up like a queen are far behind the

former Fishers resident, who now lives on a horse farm with her husband and baby in Huntersville, N.C. In fact, when Shaw was contacted about returning for the parade, she said she asked, “What should I wear?”

Shaw grew up in Fishers until she was in high school, when her family moved to North Carolina. Her father, Phil Kouwe, was a fire chief with the Fishers Fire Dept.

“The firefighters were like my extended family,” she said. Shaw’s love of horses began when she was very young.

She used to ride horses on Cumberland Road many years ago before Fishers became so populated.

“I could get on my horse all day long and one or two cars would pass you (on Cumberland Road),” Shaw said. “Now I drive back to my old house and get lost.”

In high school, Shaw took agriculture classes, where she learned how to drive a tractor. After attending college in Ohio and working at a horse farm, she moved to Huntersville where she met her husband, Kevin. They have a 20-month-old son named Ryder, who already “loves horses as much as his mommy and daddy do.”

Shaw’s father and mother, Jeanne, also live in North Caro-lina. Her brother, Jacob, lives in Ohio.

A farm girl at heart, Shaw, who also enjoys archery and deer hunting with her husband, is looking forward to her return to Fishers where she can again be queen for a day.

“It’s an honor, a pretty cool opportunity,” she said.

Commentary by Larry Lannan

My first memories of the Fishers Freedom Fes-tival take me back to the mid-1990s. My wife Jane

and I had been living in our Sun-blest subdivision home for a few years. We were the proud parents

of infant baby girls.I loved to walk the girls in a stroller around the

neighborhood. It was most fun to walk the babies during the weekend of the Fishers Freedom Fes-tival. The heart of the celebration was (and is) in Sunblest’s Holland Park.

I remember the first year walking the girls up the street to the festival on Saturday morning. Lots of people stopped me to ask about my twin daughters, Allison and Mary. Everyone along the way was in a festive mood.

The opening ceremonies featured the Town Council President Walt Kelly, music and patriotic observations. There was a small crowd on hand at the time.

Those are good memories. The festival has grown and become a much bigger event, just as Fishers has grown to be a much larger community.

The Fishers Freedom Festival is reaching a milestone in 2013. It’s 25 years old. There is a good reason to be proud of that.

Any festival of this magnitude takes lots of lo-cal support. The town council provides important financial and logistical support. Local business leaders provide needed support (I’m proud to say

Current is one of those sponsors). But the most important support that has kept this festival going through the past 25 years comes from volunteers.

Festival volunteers come from all walks of life. They all have one thing in common – they love this festival and work hard year-round to make each event an outstanding one.

The festival itself is more than the parade, the craft booths, events and various commercial dis-plays. The festival is all about Fishers.

People from outside Fishers are at the festival. But by and large, it’s a Fishers event. It’s the one time each year much of the Fishers community comes together.

My twin daughters are in college now. But the festival is still a part of our family.

One of my daughters visited a commercial tent a few years ago at the festival. She struck up a conversation with the manager of a local business. The manager suggested she come by for a job interview. My daughter was hired and continues to work at the business.

My congratulations to the Fishers Freedom Festival on its 25th anniversary. I can’t always promise you’ll get a new job like my daughter, but I do promise you will have a great time.

Festival full of memories


Firefighters are going to see whether they can take the heat at this year’s Fishers Free-

dom Festival. The Scott Firefighter

Combat Challenge spon-sored by IU Health Saxony Hospital is return-ing to Fishers and takes place on June 29 and 30. It starts at 10:30 a.m. June 29.

“It is a competition amongst firefighters which accurately represents what it takes to fight a fire,” Fishers Fire Chief Steve Orusa said.

The five-part competition includes running up a five-story tower, a forcible-entry simulator and more – all while wearing full turnout gear.

“Preparing for the challenge is almost like having a part-time job,” he said. “It takes that much effort.”

A smaller version for kids also will be at the festival on June 29 and 30 at 10:30 a.m. and 10 a.m., respectively.

On Sunday, registration for the corporate challenge version of the competition starts at 8 a.m. The corporate challenge will start at 9 a.m., and the relay and tandem events start at 10 a.m.

It is our position that federal government employees should not be exempt from inclu-sion in health care coverage mandates under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obam-acare. Isn’t it interesting that Congress has exempted the country’s largest employer, the Federal Government – which includes them-selves – in complying with 20,000 pages of new health care regulations, mostly comprised by politicians and tax attorneys.

All lead by none other than the scandal-ridden Internal Revenue Service who will be managing State Exchanges, i.e. the health plan clearing houses for uninsured individuals seek-ing health care plans. Already, employers are dropping coverage altogether in lieu of paying the “tax” and deferring employees to the ex-changes to save costs, as evidenced by thou-sands of part-time workers being dealt with decreasing hours. In the world of economics, “There is no such thing as a free lunch.”

However, not all members of Congress feel they should be exempt, which is why bill H.R. 1780 has been introduced to provide that the only health plans the Federal Government may make available to ALL of its employees are those created under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or offered through a health insurance exchange. What’s good for the goose, should be legally mandated for the gander.

Good for the goose

Commentary by Terry Anker

They say you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. As we mature in our abilities to lead others, it becomes abundantly clear that getting folks to take note of opportu-nity is only, at best, half the battle. In fact, identi-fying prospects is costly and labor intensive; and, failure to convert those prospects, once discov-ered, actually could put us in a worse place than if the potential had never been uncovered. Find-ing the water and getting the horse to it without having a plan to get it to drink only serves as an expensive distraction for us and an annoyance for the equine.

We routinely develop employee skills through internal training, a regular reading list and out-side training and support. The Hamilton County Leadership Academy is a highly effective (and af-fordable) form of on-going personal development. Organizers call the year-long, monthly classes “a leadership program that identifies and prepares informed leaders for our community. Program

Are you going to be one of the 50,000-plus attendees of the 25th-annual Fishers Freedom Festival on June 28 and 29? We believe you should be. Executive Director Jennifer Kehl, her staff and legions of volunteers are primed to deliver the kind of celebration that makes memories. This is about as Americana as it gets, and what better way to celebrate our nation’s independence than in our own home-town at an event packed with options?

The festival, for which there is no admission charge, will be staged at Roy G. Holland Memo-rial Park off Holland Drive and Ellipse Parkway. You’ll find fine arts and crafts, food and busi-ness vendors (stop by the Current in Fishers table and chat up Managing Editor Dan Domsic; we’re sponsoring again, and we’re proud to do it), live music, 5K Event, K-9 demonstrations, Children’s Tent, Street Dance, Children’s Pa-rade, Main Parade and fireworks, among other offerings. Free parking is available at Town of Fishers Municipal Complex with a free shuttle running approximately every 15 minutes during festival hours.

Here’s the cool part: Although the festival is free, you may elect to pay forward with donations of canned foods, new toys, baby food, nonperishable goods, school supplies and/or toiletries. These items go to various non-profit organizations such as the Festival’s “Roy Holland Backpacks for Kids” program and the Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County. If you don’t know, a visit to www.fishersfreedomfestival.org will clue you in to just exactly what Kehl and the festival do for those in need. It’s as stirring as the fireworks that will paint the sky.

the mayoral election coming to Fishers in 2014, and already the heat is turning up between potential candidates. We’ll keep an eye on it. We find these elections to provide great theatre.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensi-cal laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Billings, Mont. no person shall raise pet rats.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I cannot believe that so few women got worked up about my column on pornography!

Granted, my editor cut a few key phrases that involved a search engine and the female anatomy,

but still, I’d hoped to elicit a little more backlash. Maybe I’ll have more luck with this one.

Why does divorce still have such a stigma at-tached to it? In this day and age, why do people still whisper the word like it’s some communi-cable disease? Let’s get real here.

Sometimes two people fall out of love. Some-times they should have never gotten married to begin with. And sometimes circumstances arise that completely change the playing field. During the last year, I’ve watched two close friends go through divorces, and though they’ve each strug-gled, I personally applaud their choices to call it quits. Frankly, I was tired of always hearing of their misery and frustrated that they weren’t doing anything about it.

Were these tough decisions? Certainly. Es-pecially when children are involved, divorce is not a matter to be taken lightly. But after years of counseling and continued unhappiness, both had reached their breaking points. Neither of their marriages was going to get better, so why spend another moment feeling angry and bitter and subjecting their children to an unhealthy relationship? Now, at least they have the oppor-

tunity to find love again, to be happy again, and their kids can see Mommy and Daddy actually getting along. Hopefully.

And I know this isn’t true in all divorces, and maybe not even in most, but for both of my friends, their communication and interaction with their ex-husbands is the best it has been in a long time. They are doing fantastic jobs of co-parenting and of helping their kids understand that divorce is a good thing for their families.

Will everyone need counseling? Yes. Are the children struggling? Yes. But in my humble opin-ion, if a couple decides that its family will be better off through divorce, then it really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Naysayers need to shut up and start being supportive. And for Pete’s sake, they need to stop bringing up reli-gion. Divorcees experience enough guilt without supposed loved ones reminding them about their commitment before God. Part of what makes us human is our propensity to make mistakes. God understands that, so why can’t we?

Divorce is never ideal, but in a less-than-ideal world, I think it should at least be a valid and respectable option.

Peace out.

Divorce should be an OK choice

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My wife was confident that her retirement would be an easy transition to make. One day

she would be hard at work at the office; then suddenly, she wouldn’t be. Simple as that. But for the first

half of June, she kept asking me what day of the week it was, and when I went back in the bed-room one morning while she was still sleeping, she opened her eyes and asked me if I had an appointment.

Our first vacation to celebrate her retirement was to South Carolina for a look at historic Charleston. We always have great guides, but my problem is that I can never remember anything they tell me. But when I hear something interest-ing like: “The slaves were instructed to whistle while transporting the master’s dinner from the kitchen to the dining room, to ensure they didn’t sample the food,” well, I’ll never forget that little tidbit.

At one self-guided tour site, we placed head-phones on and hung a recording device around our necks. We were then directed to the first room of this celebrated home of someone whose name I don’t remember who did something I never heard of. But the real problem was that my wife and I did not push our start buttons at exactly the same time. The result was that when her headset was telling her to look up at

a 200-year-old chandelier, mine was instructing me to behold the magnificent original carpet-ing. Seeing me look down, Mary Ellen thought I was uninterested and kept poking me to pay attention. Of course, I thought she was just in a daze looking up at the ceiling, so we were both wondering why we paid 40 bucks apiece to be totally bored.

The other problem with the tape was that they tried to time the narration with what was a normal person’s speed of walking, so it was only after I fell down three steps and crashed into a mahogany credenza that I was cautioned to “Watch my step.” At one point I turned the wrong way in a corridor and bumped into Mary Ellen. The audio was telling me that what I was looking at was a true original but was in need of some restoration. I never told my wife why I was laughing.

We are back home now and Mary Ellen is enjoying her leisure time. She’s even started cooking again. The other night she prepared a delicious meal and asked me if I would mind car-rying the dish out to our back porch. I was happy to oblige, but I wish she hadn’t made me whistle.

Commentary by Mike Redmond

You’ll excuse me if I seem a little disjointed. It’s a Sunday morning and the roofers are here,

working hard while I am hardly working.

They got here nice and early – while the dog and I were still in bed, in fact. I’m usually an early riser, in the 4:30-to-5 a.m. sense, but on Sundays I like to stretch out and let things go and sleep until 6 or 6:30.

Anyway, the roofers rolled in and got a nice early start. No doubt they were motivated by the threat of rain later in the day. Or maybe by the threat of me pulling the plug on this job and go-ing with another roofing company entirely be-cause of the way the house and I were getting jerked around. And therein lies a tale.

It all began with a wind-and-hailstorm, event which did enough damage to the roof to cause the neighbors to come over and ask whether I knew how bad the roof looked. My neighbors are very helpful like that. They always assume that I must not know about the tree limbs that need trimming, or the section of fence that is starting to list, or the downspout that got knocked six inches out of plumb. They’re wrong. Of course I notice. I just don’t care as much as they do. And they don’t seem to realize that every time they mention something, I put off fixing it another three weeks, just because I like to see them getting agitated.

Anyway, the roof needed fixed and the insur-ance company approved the work. Bids were taken and before long, we had hired a roofer.

Who promptly disappeared for six weeks.Several thousand unanswered phone mes-

sages later, we hired another roofer.Who also disappeared for six weeks.The second roofer did come on Memorial Day

weekend to park a truck in front of the house and then declare that no work could commence because (1.) the roof was in worse shape than thought and needed to be replaced all the way down to the deck, and (2.) it was Memorial Day weekend.

The insurance company quickly approved the additional work, which is the last time you can apply the word “quickly” to this operation, and we sent word to the roofers that they could go ahead and resume not working, which they did.

Then came today when out of the blue a crew showed up and got to work bright and early, scaring the cats, alarming the dog and robbing me of my much-needed beauty rest. Despite that, however, I think I speak for us all when I say we’re happy to see the work getting done at last. And I KNOW the neighbors will be relieved.

Intimate setting heightens dance’s impactBy Jay Harvey • [email protected]

Performing arts groups enjoy bringing back well-received works from their repertoire,

and the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre has a particularly good excuse for making “A Legend of

Eternal Love” the centerpiece of its season-ending program June 28 and 29.

The enduring love story seems right for a space more intimate than where it premiered a few years ago: Pike Performing Arts Center. The troupe is now one of the resident companies of the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, and the Tarkington allows the audience to feel closer to the tale of Shah Jehan, a 17th-century Muslim emperor of the Mughal dynasty who built the world-famous Taj Mahal (in Agra, India) as a memorial to his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Hancock’s vision of this ennobling story involves an artistic vision that fuses choreogra-phy with apt costumes and jewelry.

“Those details can be appreciated a lot more,” he said, “in a more intimate venue.”

Also getting a new theatrical setting is the company’s revival of another love story from India: “Devdas,” the story of childhood sweet-hearts whose reunion after a long separation comes too late for them to find fulfillment. It shares a tragic cast with “A Legend of Eternal Love,” but without its uplifting outcome, where the emperor and his beloved are “reunited in spirit,” Hancock said.

A new work that suits Hancock’s theme joins those two story ballets. “Fire of Love,” set to Iranian music, involves two couples.

“One is wearing traditional clothing,” Hancock said, “and the other couple is more bare. It’s all about imagery and a little bit of the clash of cultures (within Islamic societies).”

Hancock said that his wish is not to disdain traditional Islamic dress, such as the burqa — styles that sometimes seem repressive to Western eyes.

“You can be covered up and be beautiful and a little more exposed, and that can be beautiful, too,” he said. “I see this contrast as the starting point for people to talk about why people are dressed this way.”

Natalee Cooney, a six-season veteran of GHDT, is one of four dancers in “Fire of Love.” Her challenge is to create the role of the woman in the burqa.

“How do I identify as an artist and as a wom-an with that woman?” is the question Cooney says she has posed to herself.

She said that Hancock’s choreography both reflects the limitations of this maximally cover-ing garment and projects the beauty of move-ment enhanced by the burqa. The two women “have complementary steps and movements,”

Cooney added, so must work out how each interprets her role.

“As a Western woman who doesn’t have that knowledge, this has been a opportunity to edu-cate myself,” Cooney said.

Control and confidence about moving in space are vital to a dancer, so a confining cos-tume can also present a steep learning curve.

“It’s definitely a challenge,” Cooney said. “Some peripheral vision is lost, and if you’ve seen (Hancock’s) pieces before, the movement is very fluid and athletic. There are some move-ments that are static and subtle, but I’m mov-ing a lot in this piece. I have to rely on my male partner (Phillip Crawshaw), and he’s great!”

Performances are at 7 p.m. June 28 and 29 at the Tarkington, Center for the Performing Arts, 3 Center Green, Carmel. For tickets, call (317) 843-3800 or go online at www.thecenter-fortheperformingarts.org.

Summer movies at family pricesBy Mark Johnson • [email protected]

As the summer months (and temperatures) reach a fever pitch, what are parents to do when the

weather is too hot or the rain just won’t stop? Well, one choice might be to check out the local movie the-

atres. There, parents will find cinematic alternatives, not to mention a respite from the heat and a plan B for rainy days.

At the Hamilton 16 IMAX, 13825 Norell Rd., Nobles-ville, the $1 Kids Summer Movies offerings began June 10. Advertised as “Nine Weeks, Nine Movies,” the family-friendly films are shown Monday through Friday at 10 a.m.

“The attendance has been outstanding,” said Hamilton 16 General Manager Mitch Ross of the response to the program. “Goodrich has done this now for the last six or seven years. For the first two years, no other theaters were doing any kids movie programs, so we were really busy for the kids’ shows.”

For many families, the program provides welcome relief to ever-rising movie admission and concession prices.

“We stay mindful of the rising movie prices,” Ross said. “So, we give discounts on families and large groups. We want this to be an affordable experience for parent and kids. That is why admission to these films is one dollar for everyone, adults included.”

The overwhelming response to the kids summer movie series is, for Goodrich Theatres, a return on

an investment in the community. “It is a way for us to give back to the community,”

Ross said. “Goodrich theaters are located in small towns throughout the Midwest. We love having the free kids show in every community. We have a strong base clientele. This is our way of thanking them. It’s a way of taking care of the customer we already have and gaining new ones.”

Hamilton 16 is not the only local theater offer-ing discounted shows. Regal Village Park Stadium, 2222 E 146th St., Carmel, also offers $1 kids movies through their Summer Movie Express shows at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Infant eye exams are critical to developmentCommentary by Tammy Wittmann, O.D.

• Trip to the Pediatrician• Trip to the Dentist• Trip to the Eye DoctorReally? My infant needs to see the eye doctor?

Cooing, sitting up and crawling are all signs that your baby is growing. Your baby’s vision goes through important stages, too. Did

you know eye problems can occur without no-ticeable symptoms?

The American Optometry Association and The Vision Care Institute of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. have partnered to create InfantSEE, a

no-cost public health program developed to provide professional eye care for infants nationwide. Through InfantSEE, optometrists provide a one-time, com-prehensive eye assessment to infants ages 6 to 12 months, offering early detection of potential eye and vision problems at no cost, regardless of income.

Eye doctors have instruments and resources not available to general-care doctors like pedia-tricians and family physicians.

“This extensive eye assessment gives parents the peace of mind that their infant’s vision is developing properly”, said Dr. Tammy Wittmann of Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center.

A study conducted by the American Academy of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus in

1999 found that at age 8, children who did not receive infant screenings for vision issues were 17 times more likely to have amblyopia, a condi-tion often referred to as lazy eye and is a leading cause of vision loss in people younger than 45.

An eye and vision assessment is an important step in making sure your baby is learning to see properly.

DIPATCHESWalk it off – How food is la-beled seems to make a differ-ence to those looking to make healthy choices, according to researchers at Texas Christian University. In a study look-ing at how people order from menus with no labeling, calo-rie labeling and labeling show-ing how much time it would take to burn off food items with a “brisk walk,” those that had the third labeling option picked low-calorie meals and even ate less. – The Week

Emotional control – A bizarre study at the University of British Colum-bia has found that acetaminophen, the major component of Tylenol, can do more than cure a headache. It can “calm existential dread.” The study had people doing depressing things like brainstorming what will happen to their own bodies when they die, and those that took Tylenol instead of a placebo were less disconcerted by the process. – The Week

Mood uppers – Studies have found that olive oil, salmon and walnuts all seem to have a good shot at assuaging depression. With a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts and salmon have a good chance of being uppers, and large amounts of olive oil could mean a lower chance of being de-pressed. – www.webmd.com

Coffee properties – Your coffee’s type of roast im-pacts your stomach. The stomach can make an acid that is an irritant, but dark roasts have a compound with a quality that slows production of it, according to O, The Oprah Magazine. – The Week

OPTOmETrY

Make-up matters – Are you worried about not having a white enough smile? Different shades of lipstick or gloss can help. Shades including cherry red, wine, berry, plum and rosy pink can help reduce “yellowish tones in your teeth.” Those shades, which are blue- or pink-based, are solid go-to options. – www.webmd.com

Filters matter – A substance called cafestol, which has the ability to up your blood’s choles-terol levels, can be found in unfiltered coffee. To rid your caffeinated, quaffable confection of it, use paper filters and K-Cups. Mesh filters also work, but not quite as well as the other two options, according to O, The Oprah Magazine. – The Week

Commentary by Jim Litten

With 2,857 sales in May in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 19 percent

compared to this time last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Co.

On a monthly basis, May 2013 home sales rose 13.5 percent over May 2012, an increase of 339 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. All nine counties reported increased sales or sales on par with May 2012.

The robust housing recovery is underway in Hamilton County. For the first five months of the year, sales rose 22.4 percent, an increase of 530 homes compared to the same time last year. In May 2013, home sales increased 9 percent, rais-ing the number of homes to 632 from 580.

• In Fishers, home sales rose 3.2 percent in May 2013, raising the number of sold homes to 65 from 63.

• As home prices rise and inventory shrinks, Fishers is becoming a competitive market. In May 2013, the average sales price in-

creased to $179,774, up 2 percent compared to May 2012.

• Competitive prices are due, in part, to the tightening inventory. Last month, 147 homes were available for sale in Fishers, 35.5 per-cent fewer compared to May 2012.

• In Hamilton County, homes stayed on the market an average of 81 days in May 2013. In contrast, homes spent an average of 103 days on the market in May 2012.

• Of the pended home sales in Fishers last month, three were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 17 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 43 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and two were priced at $99,999 or less.

The balance is tilting toward a seller’s market, but there are still great opportunities for buyers to find an array of houses at various price points.

Small inventory boosts home price

Patriotic wreath celebration

This patriotic wreath is easy to make and could be displayed all summer. (Submitted photo)

CrAFTS

Commentary by Ashley Phipps

July 4th is one of my kids’ favorite holidays. They love being able to wear red, white and blue,

and they especially love fireworks. Because it is truly one of their fa-vorite holidays, I always try to do a

little bit of decorating for the holiday. This year, I decided to make a patriotic wreath.

This wreath would be perfect for the Fourth of July or Memorial Day, but it is also perfect to leave up all summer long in my opinion. Plus, it is really inexpensive to make and also very easy to create, as well.

Here is what you will need: Styrofoam wreath form, 1/4 yard red or burgundy felt, 1/4 yard light gray or white felt, 1/4 yard navy blue felt, pinking shears, low temp hot glue gun

Directions: Cut felt into strips approximately 1-inch to 2-inches wide and 9-inches long using pinking shears. I cut my blue felt about 2-inches wide, the red felt about 1.5-inches wide and the gray felt about 1-inch wide.

Use hot glue to secure felt strips around the Styrofoam wreath form. Overlap felt strips so that no foam shows and be sure to have all your ends meet on the back of the wreath form.

You can put the stripes in any order you pre-fer, but I kept all my blue in one area and then alternated the gray and red felt. But feel free to use your creativity.

Cut three large circles using the gray felt and

pinking shears.Starting on the outside, cut the circle into a

spiral, leaving a small circle in the center intact.Starting on the outside of the spiral, roll the

felt into a flower and secure to the small felt circle using hot glue.

Hot glue the flowers onto the wreath.Enjoy your patriotic wreath.

Commentary by Kristina Johnson

When the weather heats up, it’s almost al-ways a given you’re likely to end up with sticky

lipstick, sliding blush and eye shad-ow that just won’t stay. Summer makeup should be fun, easy and

light – not a sweaty mess. So what’s a girl to do? Here you’ll find some tips and tricks to keep your summer makeup looking fresh and beautiful.

Invest in a primer. Primers work to smooth and keep makeup in place. Apply after moistur-izer and before makeup, and you’ll end up with great results. A study by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute found primer helped volun-teers’ makeup hold and look better throughout the day, even after a stint in an 80-degree, high-humidity chamber.

Throw out foundation. Well don’t completely throw out your foundation, just put it aside until fall. Instead try a tinted moisturizer. They’re less heavy and won’t get cakey in the heat. Some even come with added SPF, a great bonus for sunny summer days.

Brighten up your lips. If it’s too hot to wear a full face of makeup (light as it may be) a great lip color can really pull your look together. Hot pinks and vibrant corals are great for summer and are it colors for 2013.

Bronzer, bronzer, bronzer. I can’t say enough about how awesome bronzers are. Bronzers are a great way to add warmth to your

skin, brighten your eyes and make your teeth appear whiter. Apply to where the sun hits you naturally – nose, forehead, chin and cheekbones – and you’ll be good to go.

Eyes that pop. Summer’s a great time to ex-periment with bright colors. Yolanda Hall, makeup artist at NjS Studio in Zionsville, says “Brighten your look for summer. Change out regular black or brown liner for a fun color.” Consider taking a break from eye shadow and invest in a bright eyeliner or mascara. Emerald green and teal are hot colors for this summer. If you’re addicted to your eye shadow try using a primer or a cream based shadow so that it can withstand the heat.

The mirage of decorating between commercialsCommentary by Vicky Earley

The American public is showing no signs of abandoning its passion for the immediate gratification of HGTV decorating. While it has

engendered a passion for the home, this condensed variety of decorating has instilled the

idea that an inspiration can grow into reality between commercial breaks.

These are expectations that no mere mortal interior designer can live up to without an entire staff, crew and cameras on hand.

We are being duped into believing that a room can transform in 30 minutes with no sweat and no budget. Unless your designer is adorned in glit-ter and has a pixie countenance and wand, expect the reality version of the decorating shows.

In a one-hour show, we witness homely rooms that are mystically transformed into beau-tifully decorated spaces on budgets that would fit in a piggy bank. If you contact a decorator and expect the same metamorphosis in your home, it is very likely that you will be disappointed.

Have you ever considered how this cable TV magic can happen week after week? The answer is quite simple: labor and promotional discounts. Now cut to the real world, where your budget not only has to cover materials, furniture and accessories, but also your decorator, your carpenter, your interior painter, your drapery fab-ricator, your installer, etc. and reality can bring

the curtain down on your naivety. Time warp is another major symptom of too

much HGTV. A client who holds dear the belief that a space

can be developed in an hour, a week or even a month is headed for the same frustration and disappointment as the one who expects to do it “on a dime.” Quite simply explained, good design takes time.

A beautiful space that appears so effortless on the flat screen is actually the product of hours of communication and research in real life. Once decisions have been made, furnishings and fabrics must be ordered. Custom or special-order furniture can take as long as 12 weeks for completion. Custom draperies can take six to eight weeks before installation. In the meantime,

there are other workers who must be scheduled, including painters, installers and on and on.

Keep in mind that your decorator has the abil-ity to visualize the completed project and veering from the prescribed design plan could lead to a less than desirable outcome

HGTV is great for quick ideas and inspirations, but real life demands realistic expectations. When those are in place and you have connected with a professional who has earned your trust, step back and then let your decorator work real magic.

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing basement: Built in 2010, the owners of this ranch home in the Cobblestone neighborhood in Zionsville were looking to expand

their liv-ing space. “I moved here with

my father who is elderly,” said one of the homeowners. “Then my sister moved in, too. We wanted to add more space in the home.” The unfinished basement provided the perfect opportunity to get the func-tionality they needed.

Design considerations: The homeowners had specific needs for the basement space: two bedrooms, an office, an exercise room, a media/family room space, an area for light food prep and more than one bathroom. Considerations like existing plumbing and egress for the bedrooms drove the placement of many of the rooms. And, though the bedrooms would be used by just one family member and his visiting children, the rest of the space was to be shared by the whole family. Allowing the less mobile family member access to the shared spaces was important as well, so a stair lift was included in the plan.

Dual bath design: The shared yet private nature of the space was a particular challenge

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling Indy, a full-service design/build remodeling firm serving Boone, Hamilton, and Marion Counties. Contact him at 846-2600 or [email protected]. Visit caseindy.com for more info.

Basement expansion designed to meet variety of needs

for the design of the bathrooms. Rather than relocating plumbing to another part of the base-ment for a second bathroom (a costly alterna-tive), the design called for two bathrooms in one. The access from the shared space takes users into a half bath which has a door that leads into a full-bath complete with steam shower. The full bath has access to the master bedroom as well.

Natural light and open floor plan: The fin-ished look from the main level of the house was brought into the basement through the design and material choices. Interior glass windows provide lots of natural light into the space. White crown and base molding helped brighten the space as well, and keeping the ceilings as high

as possible kept an airy feel. The large square footage of the basement allowed for spacious rooms. Using a peninsula to divide the family room and the wet bar area helped define the functionality of each space while keeping the open flow.
