INDOT awards contract for I-69, 106th interchange

[email protected]

The Indiana Department of Transportation has given Walsh Construction the $21.7 million

contract to build a new interchange at 106th Street and Interstate 69, where construction could begin in

April.According to INDOT, the City of Fishers and

Hamilton Co. have partnered to contribute up to $12 million towards construction costs as a two-lane, oval-shaped roundabout will be built on 106th Street over I-69 with ramps to and from both directions of the interstate.

The existing 106th Street bridge over I-69 will be removed and replaced with a pair of two-lane bridges each carrying one direction of traffic. One bridge, carrying westbound traffic on the north side of 106th, will also accommodate pedestrians.

The direct access provided between 106th Street and I-69 will serve the area’s commercial and residential growth as the project aims to im-prove mobility and safety along the I-69 corridor in Fishers, while reducing congestion at the exist-ing I-69 interchanges at 96th and 116th streets.

Those I-69 interchanges at 96th and 116th are not easily able to be expanded due to the right-of-way impacts in those more commercially developed areas. According to INDOT statistics, more than half the crashes that occurred at those interchanges in recent years were rear-end collisions and more than 75 percent of them took place during dry, daylight conditions, with high traffic volumes likely the primary cause.

An oval-shaped roundabout on 106th Street over Interstate 69 will aim to increase mobility and safety along the congested I-69 corridor in Fishers. (Submitted renderings)

While 106th Street is closed, traffic will be detoured along Allisonville Road, 96th Street and Lantern Road.

rOaDs

While 106th Street is closed during construc-tion, traffic will be detoured to 96th Street via Allisonville Road and Lantern Road. The new 106th Street interchange ramps and access across I-69 are expected to be open to traffic in November, while overall construction on the project could extend to June of 2017.

Card skimmer found at gas [email protected]

The Fishers Police Dept. issued a crime watch alert March 11 after a credit card skimming device was found at an area gas station that morning.

An employee of the Shell gas station at 96th Street and North by Northeast Boulevard con-tacted the Fishers Police Dept. after finding the skimmer device, which copies customers’ card information as it’s swiped to pay, hidden inside one of the gas pumps.

Chief of Police George Kehl is reminding Fish-ers residents to pay extra attention when using their credit and debit cards at gas pumps and offered the following safety tips to keep in mind.

• The safest way to pay is by going inside.• Look at the exterior of the pump before

inserting your card and contact the cashier immediately if anything looks out of the

Approximately 130 students representing nearly 30 countries will entertain, educate and feed visitors to Ham-ilton Southeastern High School’s

eighth annual International Night.The event, hosted by HSEHS’ World Connec-

tions Club, begins at 7 p.m. March 25 in the Leonard Auditorium.

“We've been doing it awhile and it gets big-ger and better every year and we have more people come and participate,” HSEHS Spanish teacher and club leader Vicki Lazaga said.

The first half of the evening will see stu-dents take the stage to perform different cul-tural acts from their native countries.

“Kids will sing, dance, play musical instru-ments. We’ve had tae kwon do. This year one girl is going to do some Russian gymnastics — it’s just a wide variety of performing arts and talent,” Lazaga said. “From there, we move to the cafeteria where students and their families and people from the community will set up tables that will have all kind of memo-rabilia, maps and food from their country, and

it's like a little international festival.”Proceeds raised from the event will be do-

nated to Matanya’s Hope, a charity organiza-tion which benefits children in Kenya.

“We've donated money to them, and we've collected shoes and backpacks to help them in the past,” Lazaga said. “One of our students has a relative that's connected with that organization.”

Tickets to International Night are $4 in advance and available at HSEHS and $5 at the door. For more, contact Lazaga at [email protected].

Travis Frank is no novice when it comes to performing, but usually he has his dad, Kelly, by his side. The Fishers father son-duo went

on tour for two years and performed all over the nation, including Tennessee and Florida, and released their Christian rock album “Come Close to Me” in 2013.

Now Kelly is taking a step back to let Travis take the reins on his own pursuit of music.

“Travis picked up guitar around age 11 and got really serious at 13 and started writing his own music at 14,” Kelly Frank said. “I realized he was much better at guitar than I was, so I needed to encourage him to pursue his dream. We started doing more and more of Travis’s songs, so I’m trying to get him launched. He’s doing his own thing every week and I’m trying to be more supportive.”

Throughout March, Travis will be perform-ing solo acoustic gigs at the South of Chicago Pizza restaurants in Noblesville and Fishers. He is also experimenting with electronic

Frank to performat various restaurants

dance music in his spare time. “I’m trying to get a local fan base started,”

the 2012 Fishers High School graduate said. “What I like about it is the interaction with the crowd. It’s fun to give people that happiness through music.”

Travis performs a mix of covers from The Beatles to today’s top-40 hits and includes some of his own music as well. Wednesdays he performs at the Noblesville location, 56 South Ninth St., and Thursdays he performs at Fishers, 13578 East 131st St. His gigs last from 6-9 p.m. and are free to attend.

The Lawrence City Council passed a resolution March 7 commending Lawrence Police Dept. officer

Dustin VanTreese as a hero and expressing its appreciation for the life-saving efforts he made while on duty Jan. 30.

A 14-year-old boy had fallen through the

ice into the chilling water of a retention pond south of Harrison Community Park, just north of Bob Drive at approximately 4 p.m. that afternoon. Officer VanTreese raced to the scene, ran into the pond and recued the boy from the freezing water.

City Councilor Sherron Freeman, who was doing a ride-along with officer VanTreese at the time, read from the resolution honoring him.

A sold-out crowd at the Hamilton South-eastern Schools Foundation’s fourth an-

nual Game Day fundraiser event brought in a record total for the district’s

schools.This year’s signature fundraising event for

the HSE Schools Foundation was Feb. 26 at Conner Prairie. Food, drinks, a well-stocked silent auction and the opportunity to meet In-dianapolis Colts offensive lineman and HSEHS alum Joe Rietz were among the evening’s entertainment.

The event nearly doubled its fundraising efforts from a year ago.

“We expect to net just over $81,000 after expenses, which we believe will allow funding about 85 percent of the teacher grants that were submitted,” school board member and liaison to the Foundation Howard Stevenson said. “Those grants will be announced and the recipients recognized at the March 23 board meeting.”

The grants will be awarded to district fac-ulty who applied to the Foundation for funding to bring new, interesting and unique educa-tional programs and ideas into classrooms.

Fall Creek Vet moves into expanded, upgraded new homeBy Sam Elliott • [email protected]

Dr. Jerry Risser described his practice’s move into its new and improved, expanded Mc-Cordsville location like only a veteri-narian can.

“It was an elephant-like gestation to get here,” he said. “It took a long while, but now that the casts have come off, it’s a whole lot nicer. We loved the location we were at before, it was a great location for us, but we were just like sardines in a can there.”

Fall Creek Veterinary Medical Center celebrated the grand opening of its new location — at 9667 Geist Crossing Dr. in McCordsville, directly behind the strip mall that housed its previous location — with a ribbon-cutting March 11.

The new facility has more than tripled the practice’s space, as it used to operate in a 1,968-square-foot location, but now has 6,800 square feet to work with.

“We were really limited by our facility where we had two exam rooms. We couldn’t see patients the way we wanted to, and now we’ve gone from two to five (exam rooms), and we’ve got more space for inpatients, more space for groom-ing, and it’s just given us a chance to kind of take the prac-tice we had and just be able to do it in a way that gives us space to grow,” Risser said. “It really is largely just taking the practice that was constrained by space and letting us be able to stretch our legs here.”

Dr. Risser opened the practice in 2007 and Dr. Aaron Luth joined him in 2014. They and their staff of approximately 15 will now be able to see more patients simultaneously as the expanded new facility includes five exam rooms, a surgery room, X-ray-equipped room and waiting areas for families.

“As opposed to telling people, if we needed to squeeze something in, ‘We really don’t have the space to put you, we may just need to have you wait for a while,’ now we can work it in, and we’ve got a room for them to be in,” Risser said. “We can be a lot more efficient. Our efficiency will go way up, and we can be doing multiple things at the same time.”

The Fall Creek staff began really feeling the need for ex-

pansion about two years ago, Risser said, and the site for their new building happened to become available right as another potential location fell through.

“It kind of fell into our lap right at the time we needed it,” he said.

Peterson Architecture, Elements Engineering and CF Jones Construction worked on the new facility, which includes a second floor solely for office space — a vast im-provement over the practice’s previous location.

“I shared an office with our business manager, and it was a former closet. We would have to store boxes in there, too, like old records and things like that,” Risser

said. “I had a desk that fit a computer and some pens. We couldn’t close the door because the laundry kept filling up in the way of the door, too.”

Now Risser, Luth and the rest of the staff have more room in which to operate, but they still want to keep their small-practice vibe.

“We’ve worked really hard to get a culture for this prac-tice that we like of being kind of the family doctor for your pets,” Risser said. “Our goal is to be a small practice in a bigger space, where we have more space and can be more efficient with it, but I like the fact that we are still small and I want to keep that feel.”

Commentary by Terry Anker

Some families know adoption. Sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews – all can trace their blood lines to a terminus other than their own. Our own family is one of them. Who we are and where we come from can be a bit more complicated for some of us than others. Moreover, some of us care, a lot – really, a lot, unable to sleep, obsession, a lot – while others of us dismiss the whole affair as if the past is as irrelevant as 1950s morals at a Kardashian family reunion.

“Long Lost Family” on cable television undertakes to unearth the buried past of exploring adoptees. It films the search of adults seeking their own now, even more adult, progenitors. The “birth parents” may or may not be friendly to being “discovered” by their biological children. With the pas-sage of time (one would hope), perspectives have matured and folks are better prepared to reconcile their own complicated pasts. The stories are varied, but all are emotional.

How is it that we define who we are? Some is by what we do. Some is by where we spend our time. Some is by how we live. Yet context cannot complete the picture. There is more to the portrait. Who do we believe we are? Certainly, what others think matters; but it is our own perception that colors the scene.

What is our story? What is our past? Can our history help predict our future? Adopted or not, what do we really know about our history? Can we adopt a future? Some of us are completely disinterested in anything in the rear view mirror; while others cannot move forward without full knowledge. How can we get to our destination if we don’t know where we are? Perhaps, we each decide our own story – if not the text, then certainly the interpretation.

Q U O T e O f T h e W e e k

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

So here is the rundown on the current situation at Chez Wilson. Our kitchen is

completely gutted. We have no cabinets, no oven and no stovetop. A thick layer of

drywall dust coats the entire first floor. I’ve come home the last three days to find the dog, who appears to somehow have broken her tail, eating trash under the makeshift dining room table. Doo and I argue nightly over light fixtures, our latch-key children are living off of dry cereal and canned pasta, and the one break I get from dealing with the catastrophe of our house – jogging – consistently results in me peeing my pants. (Seriously, how does one hydrate efficiently without needing a Depends?) Let me also point out that I gave up not only my beloved Diet Crack but all soda for Lent. At least Jesus knows I’m taking my sacrifices very seriously this year.

And yet, life is good. The kids complain about the lack of home-cooking, but seem excited about the renovations. Doo and I waste hours debating the virtues of pendant lighting versus wagon-wheel chandeliers but have had many quality dates at Home Depot. Our pets are taking advantage of doors left open, food left on the ground and the perpetual mud baths created as we drive through the yard every morning to navigate a narrow drive-way with three cars since our garage has been converted into a temporary U-Store-It unit. Yes, this past week has been every bit annoying as that last run-on sentence!

How long can our sanity last? Who knows, but I’m proud of our stick-togeth-erness so far. We may all stroke out by the end of the month from the number of high sodium frozen foods we’re ingesting, and I might off Doo in his sleep if he con-tinues to insist on wainscoting instead of beadboard, but with spring clearly on her glorious way in, the outlook is positive.

There’s definitely a light and a case of Diet Coke at the end of this remodel tun-nel. If only I could do something about the stupid incontinence. Peace out.

It would be an over-generalization to state here that all liberals hate the right to exercise free speech. We happen to believe, though, that many do, and what follows is the latest example … aside from the Trump-related throwdowns. California State University Los Angeles Presi-dent William Covino recently abruptly canceled a speech by conservative author and advocate Ben Shapiro. The speech was titled, “When Diver-sity Becomes A Problem.” According to reports, twice it was approved by the student budget board and was sponsored by the conservative student group, Young America’s Foundation. But liberal groups aggressively protested Shapiro’s pending appearance and one professor threat-ened to wrestle conservative students who sup-ported the event. That, right there, is big, higher-education thinking. Covino sent an email to YAF saying it would be best to reschedule Shapiro for another time as part of a panel offering dif-ferent viewpoints on the topic. Liberal-focused speeches, including “Exploring Whiteness” and “Do Muslim Women Really need Freedom?” went on as scheduled. How much closer to fascism can this campus leader get? Plain and simple: Shapiro was denied his right to free speech. We have a new slogan for Cal State-LA: “Where you are free to speak your mind – as long as it meets with our agenda.” Of course, the mostly liberal mainstream media made zero stink about this. Heck, even comedians get it. Jerry Seinfeld said last year he avoids the politically correct college campuses at all costs, and the same goes for Larry the Cable Guy and Chris Rock. Sad but true, and we’ve come to expect the kind of behavior shown at Cal State-LA, and you should, too. It’s not where we’re headed as a nation, it’s where we are.

r e a D e r ’ s v I e WHSE needs referendum support

Editor,On May 3, you have the opportunity to

maintain the high standards of our school district by voting “YES” on the HSE Schools referendum. We cannot continue to invest in the future of our 21,000 students without your help.

With the dollars generated from this new referendum, HSE Schools will be able to reduce class sizes, attract and keep quality teachers and better prepare our students for their future. As a former teacher, I can speak to the difference even a few less children in a classroom can make in the time and energy a teacher has to focus on your children’s education. And if we don’t address our salary schedule, we have and will con-tinue to risk losing quality teachers that you and your children have come to expect.

Having served for 20 years on the HSE School Board, I can speak to the tireless efforts of our board and administration to reduce the school district’s budget. We have frozen salaries, cut supplies and outsourced services all in an effort to save money with-

out sacrificing quality. We have even utilized energy audits, saving approximately $1 mil-lion per year.

Our fiscal discipline has allowed us to avoid laying off teachers, but we have not been able to hire desperately needed new teachers to keep up with our growing stu-dent population. Our administrator to pupil ratio is nearly the lowest in the state.

Our cuts have required an increased reli-ance on our parents, PTOs and Foundation to pay for essentials. The cuts have been deep and have hurt. But for all our belt-tightening, we still are facing a shortfall and must stop the financial hemorrhaging if we are to maintain the health of our district.

If you have further questions as to other measures the board has taken to cut costs, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I was watching “House of Cards” one after-noon and suddenly the TV’s sound went off. I

got out the cable manual. Every troubleshooting guide begins with the assumption you are

clueless.1. Does your house have power?2. Is your unit plugged in?3. Is the switch in the ON position?4. Are you taking all your meds?I called the 800 number and explained

the problem I was having. Dennis, their rep, required my PIN number, but I couldn’t remem-ber it.

“In that case, I have to ask you a security question you chose. Who is your favorite movie actor?”

I was drawing a blank.“Could we use my wife’s maiden name,

instead? How about my favorite superhero? Come on, work with me here.”

Wait, maybe it was Mary Ellen who an-swered the security question. I called her on my cell phone.

My wife was in an important meeting, but I was desperate. “Could you interrupt her?” I pleaded with the receptionist. “Please ask her

who her favorite actor is.”Apparently, Mary Ellen didn’t believe I would

bother her at work for something that stupid. “That can’t possibly be my husband,” she told the secretary. “Ask him the name of his first pet. It’s Slowpoke.”

Well, I blew that question, too. I answered Bosco, who was my first dog. I forgot about that silly turtle I got when I was 4.

Then I remembered writing the PIN number on the back of the TV. Dennis did some kind of reset and soon the audio returned. But it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t remember who my favorite actor was, so I asked Dennis to tell me who I had picked.

“Oh, I can’t tell you that, sir. That would be a breach of security.”

“Wait a second, you’re not allowed to tell me who my favorite actor is? That’s crazy.”

“Well, I suppose I can, but first I need to ask you a few security questions…”

For the third year, Gregory Hancock’s “SUPERHERO: the story of a man called

Jesus” will be returning to the Tarkington in Carmel.

“It’s becoming this an-nual tradition, audiences have asked for that, they like this production and want it to be an annual Easter holiday tradition,” said Hancock, the director of the show. “We are doing that; this is the sixth time we’ve presented it.”

The first three times the dance perfor-mance took place was at Pike Performing Arts Center, until Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre moved to 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel.

The dancers tell the story of the last week of Jesus’s life without any vocals.

“It is a contemporary retelling of that using modern music and contemporary music and I focus on the women in Jesus’s life, his mother and Mary Magdalen and the woman he meets at the well and the woman who wipes his face while carrying the cross,” Hancock said. “I think it is an interesting aspect that hasn’t been looked at as much and women were really impor-tant to him.”

Jesus’s relationship with Judas Iscariot is also portrayed. Hancock said the concert starts off with a rock feel and then arcs into more classical music throughout the performance.

“It focuses on Jesus as man more than as a god or savior, just more of a human and focuses on his struggles and having to come to terms with his fate and his desti-ny as a human being,” Hancock said. “These performances are starting to get a really big audience, church groups are becoming more interested in it. I don’t think you have to be of any particular faith to enjoy the show, it’s an interesting story and it’s a human struggle story.”

The dancers have to tell the story with just their bodies and their motion, and Han-cock said they have to be actors as well as dancers to pull off the performance. James Gilmer of Cincinnati, Ohio will play the char-acter of Jesus for his second year.

“James’s interpretation of Jesus is very different, his look is very different than

how Jesus was perceived, but that’s the beauty of doing a repertoire piece year after year is seeing different dancers or actors in those roles,” Hancock said. “I like the difference that James brings and the uniqueness that he brings to his interpre-tation of Jesus, that’s a pretty daunting role to tackle. He’s a beautiful dancer.”

Hancock said the audience often times gets very emotional, and experiences a large range of emotions.

“There’s a big arc, the performance is incredibly sad at one point and then incred-ibly uplifting a few moments later. We go through the resurrection and the crucifix-ion,” Hancock said. “Some scenes are very sad, very emotional but then it’s very uplift-ing and it’s light and beautiful at the end.”

Hancock said that the modern, rock feel of music at the beginning of the perfor-

mance takes people aback at first, but that the feeling gets lost the longer the perfor-mance goes on.

“It’s not just about Christianity,” he said, although the two performances do take place over Easter weekend. “People of all faiths can enjoy the beautiful dancing and music.”

“Where’s Amy?” … I attended an exclusive tour and lovely cocktail party at the home of Dr. Paul and Kaprice Kraemer. The Kraemers opened up their 11,000-square-foot magnificent, modern home (at the Bridgewater Golf Course in Carmel) to benefit IU Health North Hospital breast-care patients. Home of Distinction is a national home tour organized in key cities around the nation. The night was amazing and included delicious food prepared by award-winning chef Peter Ful-genzi, music from the Abel Family Quartet and the opportunity to tour the home, complete with an interior golf simulation, home theater, state-of-the-art kitchens, children play areas and tons more.

Choco and peanut butter toastCommentary by Ceci Martinez

Teens, no need to drive to fast food joints! A real choco and peanut butter toast is a heavenly reward snack for those late night soccer practices or for a college student’s midnight treat. This yummy and healthy recipe is a breeze to prepare!

Note: Feeling the blues? There is evidence that chocolate makes us happier. Research scientists have isolated the chemical in choc-olate that makes us feel good. Tryptophan is what the brain uses to make the neurotrans-mitter serotonin. High levels of serotonin can produce feelings of elation.

Serves: 8Prep and cook time: 15 minutesIngredients:• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels• 8 slices thin white bread• 6 tablespoons Trader’s

Joe’s organic peanut but-ter (buy PB with no added oils, sugars and salt)

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

• 1/2 tablespoon sugarDirections: Preheat oven to 375F. Melt

the chocolate in the microwave. Spread four slices of bread evenly with peanut butter and the remaining four slices evenly with melted

chocolate. Sandwich the slices together. But-ter the outside of bread and sprinkle

lightly with sugar. Arrange sand-wiches on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes until gold-en brown. Let cool for few minutes. Cut each sandwich

into triangles. Serve warm with a cold glass of milk.

Behind Bars: Gaelic Fruit Punch Get it at Langton’s, Carmel Ingredients: 1.25 oz. vanilla Sobieski vodka, .75 oz. orange Sobieski vodka, .75 oz. lime juice, 1 oz. cranberry juice, Sprite, grenadine Directions: Shake together vodkas, lime juice, cranberry juice and grenadine. Top with Sprite and garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.

This mixture of sweet and salty beats any store-bought chocolate mix. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

Travis Frank born to performBy Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

After one semester at Indiana University, Travis Frank realized he was itch-ing to get started on his music career. So he left school to make

his musical career a full-time pursuit.“I’m doing what I love,” said Travis, a

2012 Fishers High School graduate.

His album, which includes 18 tracks, will be released April 14, his 22nd birthday. “It will be pop, EDM (Elec-tronic Dance Music) and hip hop. I’m looking to put together an acoustic EP as well, maybe four-to-seven

tracks,” he said.Travis is the oldest of nine children of Fish-

ers resident Kelly and Tracy Frank. The young-est is 1 year old.

“I play everything from classic hits of the ’60s to top 40 hits of today,” Travis said. “I try to cover a spectrum so everyone has one or two songs they really like.”

Travis is playing free acoustic sets from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesdays at South of Chicago

Pizza, 56 S. 9th St. in Noblesville, and on Thursdays, he performs at the Fishers loca-tion, 13578 E. 131st St.

“This is good because it gets my name out there,” Travis said. “Toward the summer, I’ll be getting a lot more patio shows and stuff like that. My goal for the summer is playing these gigs around town.”

Kelly and Travis also play together with a band.

“We play ’80s hairband Christian rock, and he has acoustic and electric dance music,” said Kelly, who owns Creative Approach Re-alty. “Depending what the venue is, we’ll do churches, we’ll do bars, and he can do it with himself or a full band.”

Kelly said Travis’ love of music was estab-lished early. Kelly and Tracy toured in a Chris-tian rock band when Travis was an infant.

“Ever since Travis has been old enough to crawl, he’s been playing,” Kelly said.

Kelly said the driving focus now is to get Travis’ solo career launched, but they will do some full band performances in the summer.

Travis is represented by Blonde Entertain-ment. Travis and Kelly also act and model and are represented by Helen Wells Agency.

They have appeared on the NBC show “Parks and Recreation” when it filmed in In-dianapolis. Both portrayed gladiators during Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show and perform in commercials.

Commentary by Tammy Wittmann

Allergy season has hit. If you are anything like me, this time of year can really be frus-

trating. One of the main areas affected is our eyes. Itchy, red, watery eyes are the telltale

signs of ocular allergies but can sometimes be symptoms of other ocular infections. It’s important to have your eyes checked by your eye doctor if you are having these symptoms to rule out more serious infections. Also, keep in mind that watery eyes alone are not nec-essarily allergy eyes. And you can also have allergic conjunctivitis and not experience any other allergy symptoms like sneezing and rhi-nitis (hay fever).

It’s important to note that the oral medica-tions you may be taking for your systemic symptoms do little to nothing for ocular aller-gies. Some of the prescription nasal sprays will help but the most effective treatment for ocular allergies is an eye drop. There are some over-the-counter drops that work well, but you want to steer clear of any of the “get the red out” drops. Also, stay away from gener-

ics in this case as well. Generics can have more preservative in them because they are not regulated by the FDA. More preservatives mean less active ingredient and more irrita-tion for the ocular tissues. The most effective treatments however are prescription eye drops.

Contact lens wearers may not realize they have ocular allergies but have symptoms such as decreased contact lens comfort and shorter wearing time. Also, contact lenses may have more deposits on them causing temporary decreased vision. Some contact lens wearers have to switch to a daily dispos-able lens during allergy season as well.

It is always best to have any ocular problem evaluated by your eye doctor to dif-ferentiate between allergic, viral or bacterial conjunctivitis as well as dry eye, since the treatments for each vary.

‘Tis the allergy season

Commentary by Kara Babcock, an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor

Spring is finally here. It’s time to get out-side and enjoy the sun with your little ones!

Here are some great suggestions on activities, places and exercises,which you can do with your little ones outside this spring!

Walking-Stroller lunges Stand behind your stroller with your hands

on the handlebar shoulder-width apart. Lunge forward with one leg, pushing the stroller out in front of you. Your knee should be directly above your ankle and your thigh parallel to the ground. Return to the standing position and lunge with the other leg.

Kiss the baby push-upsFind a bench and park your baby's stroller

safely against the bench with the brake in place. Facing your baby/stroller, place your arms shoulder-width apart on it. Keeping back and abdominals strong, lower your chest to the bench, and then press back to the start-ing position. Keep your body in a straight line. As you are lowering your body, give your little one a quick little smooch or peek-a-boo for some giggles!

Spring into fitness

Peek-a-boo SquatsStand behind your stroller with your hands

on the handlebar shoulder-width apart. With your feet and knees forward, squat down as if sitting on a chair, keeping your weight in your heels and your knees directly above your ankles. (Be careful not to put weight on the stroller; you don't want it to tip.) Squeeze your rear end and return to the starting position. As you squat down in front of your baby, play a fun game of peek-a-boo so you can hear their adorable baby belly laughs!

Baby Boot Camp-Carmel, Noblesville & Fish-ers has classes at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital and The Fashion Mall. Your first class is al-ways free. Register at www.babybootcamp.com or email [email protected].

Walking-stroller lunges are a great way to work time with your baby into your fitness regimen. (Submitted photo)

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Several times a year a F.H., or Frantic Home-owner, calls, texts or sends a frantic email

pleading for interven-tion with a neighbor. The sometimes hi-

larious stories all have a similar theme. “I love my neighbor, but…”

But … they just put in an obnoxious play-set that stares at me when we entertain in our sunroom. But … their ambitious patio space is seven feet form mine and I can hear every whispered word. But … they just removed their overgrown shrubs and now I have a direct view into their kitchen.

Please help!“I need privacy. Can you accomplish that

without being blatantly obvious that I’m trying to visually block my new view? Please help!” Those words predictably follow the frantic hello. Of course we can help.

This F.H. was my lovely wife thrilled that our great neighbors, who we adore, had strategi-cally placed a hot tub directly in our view from our sunroom and patio. Landscape architect Eric Beard promptly sketched the rusted privacy panel/cedar posts/beam structure pictured. Ten days later it was installed with

Privacy panelsMost F. H. calls don’t

progress that swiftly, but I know a guy. We dig these rusted priva-cy panels and have em-ployed them often as architectural elements, wind buffers and heavy entry gates. Shiny alu-minum is available for a clean modern feel.

Generating privacy is a strong driver in today’s intimate mar-ket and there are many creative solutions that deviate from the traditional evergreen barrier. Imagine an abbreviated pergola with a custom lattice structure, drapes or a recessed shade. Or a rectangle steel gabion wall filled with cobble, horizontally placed wood privacy panels and the list continues.

Cucumbers sweeter when plant-ed near sunflowers – It might seem odd, but when planted near each other cucumbers will be much sweeter.

Use Egg Shells as fer-tilizer – Rich in calcium carbonate, dried egg shells work as a great natural fertilizer. Try crushing them up in a blender before throw-ing them in your gar-den to enrich the soil. Source: Huffington Post

Water plants with tea -- Cham-omile tea is great for keeping your plants healthy. Use it when watering to ward off bacterial and fungal infections and to prevent young seedlings from damping off. Just make sure the tea is completely cooled off first before you use it. Source: Huffington Post

Plant crocuses near lavender — Protect your crocuses by planting lav-ender nearby. Birds are more attract-ed to the fragrant flower, and it will prevent them from pecking away at your blooming bulbs. Source: Huffington Post

Consider plant place-ment – Keep your shorter plants on the south side of your vegetable garden and tall plants toward the north. This will pre-vent taller plants from casting unwanted shadows over smaller crops, shading them from the sun. Source: Huffington Post

Jesus forgiving Peter along Sea of Galilee. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Israel’s sacred lake

TraveL

Commentary by Don Knebel

The Sea of Galilee in northern Israel is one of the world’s most famous bodies of water

because of its association with Jesus. Perhaps the best-known story about Jesus and the Sea of

Galilee occurred after his death. Only eight miles wide, with an area of less

than 65 square miles, the harp-shaped Sea of Galilee is more accurately called a lake. What-ever its name (the Bible also calls it the Lake of Gennesaret, the Sea of Tiberias and the Sea of Kinnereth), the Sea of Galilee is the lowest fresh water lake in the world. Lying in the Jordan Rift resulting from the separation of the African and Arabian plates, its surface is about 700 feet below the level of the Mediter-ranean Sea. The Sea of Galilee is fed primarily by the Jordan River, which flows into it from the north and then flows out of it for 88 miles south until it reaches the Dead Sea, the low-est lake in the world.

Jesus spent most of his earthly ministry

preaching in and around the fishing villages along the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, where his disciples lived and worked. His miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and the Sermon on the Mount took place on nearby hillsides. According to the “Gospel of John,” on a morning after his crucifixion in Jerusalem, Jesus suddenly appeared to some of his dis-ciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee after they had spent the night fishing, entirely with-out success. With guidance from Jesus, the fisherman filled their nets and joined Jesus for a fish breakfast ashore, where Jesus forgave Peter for having three times denied knowing him after his arrest. Today, a statue in Tabgha, an area on the northwest shore not far from Capernaum, remembers that event.

Easily open and reseal envelopes – You’ve signed and sealed the perfect greeting card inside its matching envelope and then realize you forgot to include something – like a gift card or check. You can reopen the envelope without destroying it. Place the envelope in the freezer for about three hours. Take it out and slide a letter opener or knife under the flap. It should open neatly and you can then reseal it after you’ve finished.

Grow roses in potatoes – Early spring is a great time to plant roses because of the mild temperatures. Here’s a trick for getting healthier bushes from your cuttings. Take a cut rose and push it into a small potato before planting. The potato will help the rose retain moisture and will provide important nutrients.

Organizing takeout menus – With today’s busy lifestyles, ordering takeout for dinner has become a frequent oc-currence. A pile of takeout menus, however, can clutter up kitchen space. Keep them neatly organized in a binder with clear plastic sleeves. Write the date you got the menu at the top and replace as the menu changes. Source: Bottom-LinePersonal.com

Dish detergent substitute – Need a substitute for dish detergent in a pinch? You can use shampoo as a stand-in. The best shampoo for dishes is one formu-lated for oily hair, as it will cut through greasy food buildup. Try to avoid using conditioning shampoo, as it may leave an oily residue on dishes.
