The next time you zip by the Fishers downtown area with all

the buildings going up, you’ll also

see work being done on the green space. The project is called Cen-tral Green but could have a name change in the future according to Tom Dickey, the director of Com-munity Development for the Town of Fishers.

Central Green is the green space from 116th Street to the Town Hall and includes a veteran’s memorial that was dedicated just last year. Dickey says that the Liberty Plaza veteran’s memorial never was completed because of funding is-sues and this project will finish it by adding a planned water fountain feature and enhanced lighting.

Once complete, the Central Green will be a landscaped pedestrian space connecting the developments along Municipal Drive. Improvements include the addition of 200 trees in double rows, space for public art and limestone benches with charg-ing stations for mobile devices. Dickey says the idea is to create the sense of outdoor rooms.

He says the project will put the space to good use.

“It will turn that passive space into an active space. So, what it will add is a public gathering space where people can come during their lunch hour or as part of a morning run. Basically it provides a place to hang out and enjoy the Nickel Plate district,” he says and adds that residents will be able to picnic or gather there before a summer concert.

Central Green is scheduled to open in October.

One of the more disappointing films of the last few months, “The Monuments Men” was an OK movie that could’ve been great.

Problem solved. This is another example of how Shepherd Insurance delivers the help customers need when it matters most. Contact us and let us know how we can go to work for you.

“After 34 years with no problems, our former insurance company just dropped

our homeowner’s policy. No warning. No explanation. It was surreal. A friend

referred us to Shepherd Insurance and they sent Ben out immediately to talk

with us. Within minutes, I felt like my family had an advocate in the insurance

industry and that everything was going to work out. He was incredible at

calming my fears and setting to work on our behalf. It’s hard to put into words

the comfort he brought to our family that day.”

The Hamilton Southeastern School Board, in its regular meeting on May 12, reviewed a final

HSE 21 presentation that will start the full and mandatory implementation of iPads in

intermediate classrooms.All families will be required to purchase or rent

an iPad. HSE will be transitioning away from the iPad 2 and eventually will only be using only the iPad retina. Students are allowed to continue to use their iPad 2 if they already have one; the only significant difference between the versions is the camera quality.

Families are able to rent their iPad through the school district for $125 plus a $20 insurance fee. If they wish to purchase them they must do so through an outside source.

Students on free and reduced-priced lunch will be provided an iPad for the year with no charge.

The board also discussed the idea of selling the baseball fields at Riverside schools to the city. Many updates would take place if sold. The town would improve and expand the fields in order to allow more city involvement. HSE has been paying the town to maintain the fields.

The parks could go to bid on May 27 according to Director of Parks and Recreation Tony Elliot who attended the meeting along with Scott Fad-ness, the town manger, who told the board that if sold, the project to improve the parks would

School lunches to cost more

cost approximately $750,000. The board will con-sider the matter in future meetings.

A vote on whether to raise school lunch prices was also on the meeting agenda and was ap-proved 5-1 in favor of raising fees.

Lunch prices will be raised 10 cents and adult breakfasts will be raised 25 cents. The increase of prices is due to legislation passed by the De-partment of Education that requires all schools to participate in the national School Lunch Pro-gram and adjust their average meal price for the 2014/2015 school year.

Lunches from kindergarten through sixth grade will now be $2.55 and adult breakfasts will be $1.50.

Hitting the beach in Fishers

reCreaTION

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • [email protected]

You don’t often hear the words “beach” and “Fishers” used in the same sentence, but that

is about to change. There is a 30-acre lake and beach in the Saxony development

at 131st Street west of Olio Road that Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliot calls a hidden gem. His department has taken over the operation, maintenance and hiring of staff and lifeguards at Saxony Beach, which is a manmade lake and beach built by the Saxony developers just south of IU Health Hospital.

Elliot says he’s really excited about what this new facility will offer Fishers residents. “Of course in Indiana a lake and beach is a pretty unique amenity, to say the least, and so that’s why in the first place Saxony created the lake and beach with the expectation that people would want to move up there; to live up there; to work up there and to play up there because there’s so many different options. Around the lake and beach there has already been a fair amount of development that has occurred but there’s also more that is occurring almost as we speak,” he says and adds that a walking trail around the lake is being finished now.

Saxony Beach will also have kayaks, canoes and standup paddleboards available to rent as well as other programs such as yoga on the beach and beach volleyball. Elliot says they are

partnering with other groups to provide pro-grams, too. For instance, they are working with the police department to offer swim classes and a swim club and they are partnering with Revolution X in Fishers to offer P90X and Insanity Fitness classes. There will be a fee for rentals and classes, but the use of the beach and lake for swimming is free.

Elliot says Saxony Beach will provide unique opportunities and some cool programs. “A lot of people say, ‘What the heck, there’s a beach in Indiana?’ We’re really, really excited for it. Again, we have a great parks system. We’ve got a lot of really diverse options in terms of our parks from natural areas to playgrounds to splash pads,

ballparks, but we think that this lake and beach really is outstanding and unique in terms of a new amenity. So we’re really excited for events and programs and just unique ways that we can host and partner programs that we have never been able to do before,” he says.

Plans call for a 5,000 square-foot recreation building to be built nearby that will have bath-rooms and concession stands and will provide a venue for weddings and other events.

Saxony Beach will be open May 24 through Sept. 1 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; daily. You can sign up for classes in person or at fishers.in.us.

Conner Prairie in Fishers hosts the History on Tap craft beer fes-

tival, which takes place on May 30 from 6:30 – 10:30 p.m.

Tickets, which are available online at connerprairie.org/historyontap, include admission to the park and festival plus beer tastings from on-site brewers and a souvenir glass. Food is available at an extra cost and live music, brewing demonstra-tions and other activities will be provided.

“History on Tap allows us to of-fer programming for adults beyond our normal 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. busi-ness hours,” said Kelly Backus, event manager for Conner Prairie. “This evening program provides a social atmosphere for adults 21-and-over to connect with our beautiful grounds,” she continued.

The Conner Prairie Horizon Council started History on Tap and presents the event in coop-eration with Conner Prairie. The Horizon Council is a volunteer group consisting of young profes-sionals between the ages of 21 and 40. “Our goal is to generate interest in Conner Prairie to people within our group’s age demographic,” said Clint Hangebrauck, volunteer head event planner for Horizon Council.

This is the third year for History on Tap and, according to Hangebrauck, about 20 brewers will be there to provide tastings and around 1,000 attendees are expected.

Conner Prairie will provide samples of its historical brew. “We are offering a ginger beer which is considered a short beer,” said Backus. “Short beers were very commonly brewed in households because it was ready to drink by the next day or within the next week,” she explained.

Union Brewing Company in Carmel is also get-ting into the spirit of History on Tap by brewing a historical batch which includes maple syrup, and it will be available for tasting at the festival.

Other activities include a brewing demonstra-

tion from Indianapolis’s Cartel Brewing Company and a “Fireside Chat,” which will be an informal lecture about the art of beer tasting from local expert Ron Smith.

“Our general goal is to have a craft brew-ing festival that highlights the fantastic craft brewing boom happening in Indiana,” stated Hangebrauck. “We also want to stay true to Con-ner Prairie’s mission, which is to give people the opportunity to learn about history in ways that history books cannot.”

How do patients determine whether surgery is the right choice for them?

Dr. Micon: Of course, most people are interested in treatment options that might help manage their condition short of surgery. In many cases, however, patients don’t have much of a choice.

Dr. Gupta: When they are in pain, surgery is sometimes the only viable option to deal with their condition. When that choice has been made, the most important decision is to pick a surgeon they feel comfortable with. As well as a facility they feel comfortable with.

What are some of the common questions patients have about surgery?

Dr. Micon: Patients are generally concerned about what the recovery will be like, how much pain they will experience, and how soon they will be able to return to complete functional capacity. They’re going to be interested in side effects and potential complications of the surgery and how long the recovery period might be.

Dr. Gupta: Yes and often people want to know how they’re going to come through the anesthesia. This is especially true for patients who haven’t had surgery before.

How do you make your patients comfortable about the details of their upcoming surgical experience?

Dr. Gupta: What I try to do personally is to talk to the patient, listen to the patient, see what kinds of concerns they have and answer their questions. I � nd that if somebody understands what they’re about

to go through, it makes a huge difference.

Dr. Micon: I agree. Knowledge is power. And being able to give patients a good idea of what their experience will be like, and of course trying to make that experience as pleasant as possible, is the best way really to alleviate their anxieties.

What makes St.Vincent Fishers Hospital the right facility for an upcoming surgical procedure?

Dr. Gupta: Patients really feel comfortable and at ease at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital. In many cases, their primary care doctor is right there in the same location. It’s high quality care very close to home, so it’s convenient for not just the patient, but also the patient’s family.

Dr. Micon: Being a new hospital, it’s bright, it’s clean, and it has the latest equipment. And, it also has very experienced staff. So the people involved in the surgical experience have all done it many times before. They’re very comforting, very con� dent and very competent health care providers.

Dr. Gupta: I think because St.Vincent Fishers Hospital is not one of those huge hospitals, it’s really very ef� cient and the patients can get a nice, personal experience.

Dr. Micon: It’s a great environment and it has really been a great experience for the providers as well as the patients. I think people really will be happy and satis� ed with their care at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital.

Commentary by Mike Colaw

After Mother’s Day, my wife and I were reflect-ing on the role of mom. My wife penned these

words. I thought I would share them with you.

Now that I’m a Mom… I under-stand how tiresome it is to feed everyone day after day, year after year.

Now that I’m a Mom… I know what it’s like to walk in the door and the first words I hear are, “I’m hungry!”

Now that I’m a Mom… I understand the ag-gravation of never getting a moment of privacy, even in the bathroom.

Now that I’m a Mom… I know what it’s like to have to put up with so much whining I feel like I’m going to explode … and sometimes I do.

Now that I’m a Mom… I know what it’s like to have a daughter who gets into my jewelry, shoes, make-up, scarves, and purses, and strews them all over the house.

Now that I’m a Mom… I understand the end-less laundry, constant messes, and relentless dirty dishes.

Now that I’m a Mom… I know what it’s like to work hard over a meal, making sure I’ve covered all the essential food groups while main-taining a pleasing taste, only to sit down to eat and hear the words, “This is gross!”

Now that I’m a Mom… I know what it is to feel frazzled, overwhelmed, and unappreciated.

But…Now that I’m a Mom… I understand the inner

tug-of-war at forcing my children to do some-thing they don’t want to do because it’s good for them, even though it causes me pain as well.

Now that I’m a Mom… I know what it’s like to swell with pride when they accomplish some-thing that to others seems insignificant, but to me is amazing.

Now that I’m a Mom… I push my kids to reach their potential because I believe in them and want them to experience all that life has to offer, even when they fight me.

Now that I’m a Mom… I feel blessed and fortunate that I have a Mom who showed me how to be a good one, and that she had a Mom who did the same for her.

Now that I’m a Mom… I realize how smart my own Mom is, and when she used to say, “You’ll understand someday,” she was right.

Now that I’m a Mom… I know the work, aggravation, and sacrifice will all be worth it, because just as I have done with my moth-er, someday my children will grow up and appre-ciate it, will see me as a woman worthy of praise and honor … and then I get to be their friend.

While Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel may grab the headlines with its major golf champi-

onships and PGA Tour events, The Hawthorns Golf and Country Club

here in Fishers has quietly carved a niche for itself as a highly sought-after venue for national qualify-ing tournaments and regional championships.

On May 7, for the third time in its relatively brief history, The Hawthorns was the site of a U.S. Open qualifying tournament. And that was the goal 20 years ago when renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills – known for his work with the United States Golf Association and the PGA of America – was chosen to design the course.

“We wanted to have a championship-caliber golf course,” explained Jason Diaz, PGA execu-tive director of golf at The Hawthorns, “one that would be ideal to attract local, regional, and some smaller national events.” It worked. The course opened for play in 1994 and the very next year hosted its first USGA-sanctioned event, a qualifying tournament for the U.S. Amateur Cham-pionship. The club followed that in 1996 with its first U.S. Open Local Qualifier.

When it comes to choosing a golf course to host a U.S. Open preliminary event, the USGA leaves it to a given state’s governing body. In Indiana, that’s the Indiana Golf Association.

“They (the IGA) reach out to facilities that they

Road to U.S. Open goes through Fishers

feel would be an appropriate venue that would be consistent with the U.S. Open,” said Diaz.

Since 1995, The Hawthorns – set among the gently rolling hills of the Hamilton Proper subdivi-sion between Brooks School Road and Hoosier Road – has been the site of almost yearly re-gional tournaments, including the Indiana PGA Championship (2003), the NCAA Men’s Division III National Championship (2007), and the Indianapo-lis Open (2009), among others. In 2012, women’s professional golf came to The Hawthorns with the My Marsh Classic, an event on the LPGA’s developmental Symetra Tour.

The club is scheduled to host the 2015 Indiana State Boys Championship (“the biggest tourna-ment in the state”), and is being considered for the 2017 State Amateur Championship. For 2019 and beyond, “We’re engaging in some conversa-tion with the USGA about bringing a (champion-ship) event here,” said Diaz.

The owner of the club, Hamilton Proper Partners Golf Partnership LP, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, but Diaz said that’s not been an issue in the club’s conversations with the USGA or IGA for future events.

“It’s had no impact whatsoever,” he said.


Fishers’ Historic Ambassador House is alive and well

COMMUNITY

By Beth Clark • [email protected]

A lovely, restored farmhouse surrounded by gardens and a white picket fence sits at the peak of the winding drive into Fish-

ers Heritage Park at 106th Street and Eller Road.

The house, a proud part of Fishers history, has garnered public attention in the five years since its restoration was completed, yet it remains unknown to many residents.

Visitors to Heritage Park might appreciate the beauty of the house but wonder what purpose it serves. The house and gardens are owned by the Town of Fishers and managed in a cooperative agree-ment by the Town and a nonprofit organization called the Historic Ambassador House and Heritage Gardens, Inc., which operates with an all-volunteer Board of Directors and two part-time staff members.

The Ambassador House opened to the public five years ago in May 2009 as a community resource center and heritage site for the Town of Fishers. The site’s mission is, “To preserve and promote the Ambassador House and Heritage Gardens by engag-ing people in history, gardens, and culture.” Named for its most notable owner, Addison Harris, U.S. Ambassador to Austria-Hungary from 1899-1901, the house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It has undergone an amazing transformation from its origin as a log cabin to its present state.

The house that today greets visitors to Heri-tage Park is a large Greek Revival-style farm-house. Its beginning, however, was a humble four-room log cabin built in the 1820s by the West family, early pioneer settlers to Hamilton County.

The cabin was eventually purchased at auc-tion in 1880 by prominent Indianapolis attorney Addison Clay Harris (1840-1916) and his wife India Crago Harris (1848-1948), an educated woman who is credited as a founder of the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

The Harrises used the cabin as their summer residence to escape the heat and congestion of Indianapolis, while maintaining the land as a working farm with the help of a tenant farmer. They expanded the structure around 1895 into the elegant home that exists today to better reflect their wealth and status and to accommodate more summer guests.

The house originally sat on farm and woodland on the north-

west corner of 96th Street and Allisonville Road. After India’s death in 1948, the house changed hands twice before being acquired by the Washington Park Cemetery, who gave the home to the Town of Fishers in 1996.

At that time, the house was considered for demolition, but just days before its scheduled razing, the house was rescued by the Fishers Historic Preservation Committee and Indiana Landmarks (formerly the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana) who pro-posed relocating and rehabilitating it.

Thanks to fundraising efforts and a loan from Indiana Land-marks, the house was split in two and moved north on Allisonville Road to land designated to become Fishers Heritage Park. From 1997 through 2009, the house was painstakingly restored and refurbished.

Jeff Wilson, Fishers Rotarian and a direct descendent of the pio-neer West family, was Ambassador House board president at the time of the May 2009 ribbon-cutting ceremony to open the house to the public. He cut the opening ribbon with then-president of the Fishers Town Council, Scott Faultless.

“When I came on board in 2006, the house was literally bare bones outside and especially inside,” Jeff said. “There was no dry-

wall, flooring was in disarray, windows were broken still. It took so much work just to set the house on a new foundation and make it structurally sound. Today the interior of the House is beautiful. In the five years since it opened, it is remarkable how far the Am-bassador House has come. The strength of the relationship with the Town of Fishers, the friends, volunteers, and Board members and all of their passion and dedication for the house – it has been incredible to watch how that has blossomed.”

Since 2009, the Ambassador House’s ability to sustain itself, make interior improvements and contribute to the regular main-tenance an almost 200-year-old house requires primarily comes from event rental income. Kim Jones, the special event sales rep-resentative at the Ambassador House, has been instrumental in the dramatic growth of the Event Rental Program. She is confident that, “the continuing success will enable the house to become a true cultural asset for Fishers. It’s very rewarding to be a part of this unique project. The private event rentals are gaining popular-ity and exposure in central Indiana. We have a unique setting that lends itself very well to many types of events. Of course we host many weddings, but we are also a great location for fundraisers, company retreats, and family parties.”

The Ambassador House’s function as a heritage site is not to be overshadowed by the success of its event rental program. Kelly Gascoine, Chair of the Ambassador House Historical Committee, and Beth Clark, newly-hired curator and programming coordina-tor, are working to continue the Historical Lecture Series, conduct free guided tours of the house and grounds, maintain its historical photograph collection and Victorian furniture pieces and expand current public programs like the Victorian Family Christmas event.

The Friends of Heritage Gardens Club at the Ambassador House is also thriving. It conducts garden work days and sponsors a popular Heritage Gardening lecture series at the house.

The Historic Ambassador House and Heritage Gardens is poised to serve the residents of and visitors to Hamilton County in an even greater capacity in the days ahead.

It was an overly interesting and pinpointed question, whose answer could be packed with potential dire ramifications. Actually, we wish we had thought of it. Alas, Chris Stirewalt of Fox News First last week posed this revela-tory enquiry: What if Hillary Rodham Clinton can’t (or won’t) run for the presidency? There are numerous queries about her health and age (at election time, 69)election, and former George W. Bush stalwart Karl Rove clearly and politically discussed that. Fair or not, and we’re no fans of Clinton, Rove’s comments had to strike fear into the collective heart of the Democratic Party. If she cannot or will not run, who would be the candidate of choice? There is no obvious alternative, in our opinion, and it could spell the end for the Dems on the campaign trail. Of course, we’re counting on the Republican Party to royally screw up any chance it has of winning the presidency.

• • •As of press time, we were awaiting ad-

ditional details of Gov. Mike Pence’s Healthy Indiana Plan. You may have heard, Pence has decided against participating in the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion to cover the uninsured. From what we’ve heard, Pence’s program calls for a state-run, two-tiered plan for low-income Hoosiers, as opposed to feder-ally run Medicaid. Tier One of Pence’s plan provides limited coverage at little to no cost. Tier Two includes dental and vision coverage but will have a cost associate with it. It also would offer a third option in which workers who can’t afford their employers’ health care can receive help with their premiums from the state. If, as Pence claims, this results in a more consumer-driven approach to health care, then it makes sense. If the Feds think it’s a bad idea, there must be merit to it. As we found out in the early rollout of Obamacare, the devil is in the details, so stay tuned for the details of Pence’s program.

What if Clintoncan’t or won’t run?

surmounting challenge. But, it was an offhanded remark that has stuck with me in these ensuing days. While extolling the grit of the young people at the United States Coast Guard Academy, he mentioned that they refer to the lives they hope to preserve and protect carry the moniker “souls.”

Immediately, one is reminded of S.O.S. from the not too distant past of communication via Morse Code. When a ship found itself in grave peril, the radio operator would begin signaling S.O.S. to plead to any that might hear – save our souls. When real threat is upon us and we hope to recruit another to risk their own corporal be-ing, we entreat for a soul not a life. I have come to wonder if by dedicating ourselves to the pain of another we are really saving their lives and our souls.

A few weeks ago, Ivy Tech Community College hosted its top students for the Indiana Academic Team Awards. As one might come to expect from such an event, the life stories of these folks are breathtaking. Some have confronted enormous personal challenges to pursue a bet-ter life. One woman, raising a young daughter by herself, had been severely injured in an au-tomobile accident and despite the unfortunate circumstances that had gripped her life before found the strength to overcome her disabilities to complete her degree and to become an active and involved participant in the college commu-nity and beyond. Even those with more common tales have managed to exceed the routine to elevate themselves to greater aspirations.

On this special evening, the College had en-gaged a motivational speaker to address the already inspired and motivated crowd for a keynote address. He had spent his life work-ing with young military recruits and regaled the assembled crowd with delightful accounts of

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Last year my husband and I had the amaz-ing opportunity to travel to North Africa and

Turkey. Thanks to a teacher grant, I studied Islamic culture and the history of mathematics

in Marrakesh, Cairo and Istanbul. It was truly the trip of a lifetime. And with my newfound confidence in grant writing, I applied for what was sure to be an equally remarkable trip to Greece this year. Admittedly, this second proposal wasn’t my best work – I did only have three days to pull it together – but I still felt certain I would win. Like the classic John Cusack film, it was a sure thing.

Despite my clever title “Greece Lightening: A High Speed Journey through the Isles of Mathematical Innovation,” I was denied. Now what was I supposed to do this summer? Doo shared my disappointment, as we had already booked a cave hotel on Santorini and planned our re-enactment of the original “Clash of the Titans” on Samos.

Not to be undone, we regrouped and began looking for another vacation spot. Without a major philanthropic group to foot the bill, it had to be cheap. International travel was out, as was anything on a coast; the airfare was simply outrageous. We considered driving, but all of the cities within a few hours scored low on our interest scale. Chicago, Cincinnati, Lou-isville, St. Louis, Detroit? Been there, done that. Where was the adventure? Where was the exotic food and culture? Not in the Midwest, that’s for sure. So it seemed we’d be stuck in the northern ‘burbs of Indy come June. Bluh.

Then, out of the blue, I received an email from Doo: “How about Trenton?” What? Where the hell is Trenton? “I can get us flights for $70 roundtrip!” Sold. Book it. And get me a map.

Turns out Trenton, though not so lovely in and of itself, is very close to some rather pic-turesque towns like Princeton and Burlington. The city center is also on a light rail line that can have you in New York City in 90 minutes. So guess who’s going to Trenton, N.J., for a three day extravaganza?

Sure, it’s not Greece, but I’m actually really excited about the weekend. I’ve never been to the area before, and I love discovering new places with my spouse. And any time away from the kids is a good time, even if it’s in New Jersey. Besides, going in to Manhattan for a day will probably feel like a foreign country when compared to Indiana. I don’t speak New Yorker, so mischief and mayhem are sure to abound.

Next summer I’ll hopefully be reporting from Greece, but this year it’s Trenton, N.J.

Peace out.

For the twelfth year, the Town of Fishers is holding its popular Nickel Plate District summer concert series beginning in June. There are things

about the event that have changed from past years, including the venue and adding concerts on other nights, but the one thing that hasn’t changed has been the response.

Town Manager Scott Fadness said the series is a keynote event in Fishers. “It’s one of those things that just kind of embodies what Fishers is all

about; having four or five thousand people show up in downtown Fishers is just so exciting to see,” he said. “We hope this year is bigger and better than ever. If you’ve been by the amphitheater, everything looks great. The grass is green and we’re ready for summer to begin.”

This will be the second year the series was conducted at the newly-built amphitheater. It provides a better venue for people to see the per-formers as well as better lighting and ambience, Fadness said.

It also offers restrooms and concessions that the series didn’t have before. In addition to the Tuesday night concert series, the new Amp After Dark series on Friday nights is being introduced for a more adult audience.

The Tuesday Night Concerts begin at 7 p.m., while the Amp After Dark shows on Fridays begin at 9 p.m. There are several special events sched-uled including country music recording artists on select Thursdays and a

Blues Fest marked for Labor Day weekend. All concerts are free and kick-off on June 3 with the first Tuesday Night

Concert featuring Soul Street.Highlights from the concert schedule include:• The Amp After Dark opening night will feature national recording art-

ist Eric Lindell on June 6• Country music recording artists Austin Webb with special guest

Heather Michelle Chapman will perform June 5• Jennie DeVoe will play The Amp After Dark on July 11• The Chateau Thomas Blues Festival will be conducted Aug. 30Parking may be different than in years past because of construction in

downtown Fishers, but Fadness said there will be plenty of parking avail-able that will have lots of signage and staff will be present to help.

Concertgoers are welcome to walk or bike to the shows because the Nickel Plate District is pedestrian friendly and connected to trails through-out Fishers. People are encouraged to bring a blanket, a bottle of wine and a picnic and just enjoy the show.

“I think that our summer concert series is really just the ultimate symbol of Americana and family values. If you’re looking for somewhere to take your family on a Tuesday night that will provide you with a true sense of community, then this is the right event and the right venue to come to,” Fadness said.

Commentary by Kathleen Connelly

You can feel it in the air, can’t you? Summer is coming and it is going to provide us with an abun-dance of opportunities to better our health! My

family, just like a lot of us here in Fishers, is in full swing with spring sports, end-of-the-year school

functions and planning for our summer break. The other week when we had two baseball games at the ballpark, dance rehearsal and soccer I thought to myself, “This is crazy – sandwiches again!”

I know there a lot of moms just like me who want to provide their kids with good, nutritional food and sometimes trying to accomplish that with a hectic family schedule is difficult. How-ever, there are ways! Prepping and planning for what you want for your family’s health is just as important as the actions themselves. If you know it will be a busy week, cook a larger meal on the weekend and then put leftovers in the fridge or freezer for a different night.

On Sunday, decide what meals you will cook during the week and make sure you have the items needed for each meal. Last Sunday, we ate from a more dinner-like menu at lunch and had a lunch-type menu for dinner since we had football

games that evening. Sometimes I even cook a meal for the following evening at night after the kids go to bed. One of my prepping activities for the week is to chop vegetables and bag them up so they are ready to go for lunches. Have you tried the Fishers Farmers Market? It is now being held each Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to noon at the Nickel Plate Park. It is a great way to pick out fresh and organic products to use in next week’s meals. Take the kids along and let them help make some decisions. My kids love getting involved in choosing what fruits or veg-etable we have for the week!

Trust me, I know how busy life can get but there are ways to make our health a priority. Start trying to prep in advance for meals, pre-pack snacks and lunches and visit the Fishers Farmers Market. Lastly, give yourself a break! Even I need to remind myself some weeks that having sandwiches are okay because the kids think it is fun to have a picnic dinner!

Change your surroundingsCommentary by CJ McClanahan

Early in my career, I worked with a business in the construction industry with about 40 employ-

ees. They wanted me to help increase profitability and pro-

ductivity which had been slipping for years.After a few meetings, I quickly realized that

the problem started with one of the senior lead-ers in the firm, a guy we’ll call Steve.

Steve was always in a bad mood. In addition, no matter what the situation, Steve would come up with 15 reasons why things were about to become worse. He never saw a solution – only problems.

Unfortunately, the owner was convinced that the whole place would implode if Steve were to leave. No one could possibly replace him.

After months of conversations, I finally convinced the owner to give Steve his walking papers.

Guess what happened?People actually smiled when they were at

work. There was less complaining and the park-ing lot didn’t automatically empty at 5:01pm.

Guess what else happened?Profits and productivity steadily rose. It turns

out the company could survive without Steve.The truth is that we are all a product of our

environment. While our ability to resist its influ-ence changes as we mature, the environment still heavily impacts the decisions we make and the results we generate. If your life isn’t where

you’d like it to be, take a look around and see what needs to change.

First, start with what you watch on TV. Do you watch the evening news, a 30 minute barrage of negative information focused on keeping your attention? How about the radio? Do you listen to talk shows that slam every celebrity, politi-cian, or sports figure? What about the Internet? Is your web browser filled with chat rooms that blast political candidates?

Next, what about the people at your office? Do you tend to hang out with (or recruit) individuals who complain about your customers, prospects and the economy?

Think of your brain as a software program. The inputs or lines of code are comprised of what you read, watch and listen to throughout the day. Are these inputs programming you to become a positive person focused on the end-less opportunities we enjoy each day? Or, are you becoming cynical, expecting bad news every time you turn on the TV, open your email or pick up the phone?

Environment As with most things in life, the solution is

simple. All you need to do is choose to execute.

Commentary by Don Knebel

As we travel to see the world’s treasures, we can overlook those in

our own back yards. The Indiana War Memo-rial is one such a trea-

sure, often ignored by people driving by it every day.

In 1920, as part of a successful plan to lure the American Legion headquarters to Indianapolis, the In-diana General Assembly appropriated $2 million for a monument to the vic-tors of the recent world war. General John J. Pershing broke ground for the 210-feet-tall War Memorial in 1927, which was dedicated in 1933 even though the interior remained incom-plete despite additional funding from the Works Progress Administration.

The design of the three-story square building, with columns and pyramid-shaped roof, evokes the tomb of Mausolus, a wonder of the ancient world that gave us the word “mausoleum.” Words carved in the limestone exterior express hope the building will “inspire patriotism and respect for the laws to the end that peace may prevail, justice be admin-istered, public order maintained and liberty perpetuated.”

The building’s surprisingly capacious interior, making extensive use of marble, includes a 500-seat auditorium, meeting rooms and a museum of military history. The inspiring Shrine Room on the third floor honors the soldiers who won the “war to end all wars.” Incorporating materi-als from all the Allies, the room features a huge American flag hanging vertically over an “Altar of Consecration.” The altar is surrounded by 24 fluted columns of dark red Vermont marble. High above the altar are blue lights and a crystal “Star of Destiny” from Sweden. Wall paintings depict the leading Allied soldiers. Marble stairways to the Shrine Room contain the names of all Hoo-siers who served in World War I.

attention in 1953 when Edward R. Murrow’s popular “See it Now” television series covered the American Legion’s controversial closing of the auditorium to the Indiana Civil Liberties Union. Those days are long gone and the building is open to the public Wednesdays to Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The next time you long to visit a world-class building, consider a trip to 431 North Meridian.

Commentary by David Decker

Because of its versatile style, natural feeling and durable structure, hardwood has remained

one of the most enduringly trendy flooring options for gen-erations. In fact, it’s so popular

that homes containing hardwood flooring will often sell faster than homes without it. Choosing hardwood flooring is definitely a safe investment. But to get the most out of this investment, it’s extremely important to properly care for and maintain hardwood flooring. Water, pets, foot traffic and other environmental elements can all play a role in wearing down your hardwood floor-ing. Help your hardwood stay healthy by follow-ing these basic maintenance tips.

The key to maintaining hardwood happens before you even install it in your home. Be sure to inspect any rooms where you are considering hardwood. Try to figure out how much moisture and foot traffic the flooring will come in contact with. Certain types of hardwood are susceptible to moisture, which can cause the wood to splinter or bend. Additionally, excessive amounts of foot traffic can cause wear and tear to the planks. Scuffed and scratched floors can be refinished, but this process can get costly, especially if you choose a softer wood that needs frequent repair.

If you’ve decided the room is a good fit for hardwood flooring, you’ll want to keep your hard-wood protected and shiny by cleaning it regularly with water-based solutions. Remember that hardwood is susceptible to water damage, so

never use a wet mop or let spills soak into the boards. You may even want to invest in a steam-cleaning mop, which will clean the floors without leaving behind water residue. Pay attention to the type of cleaning solution you are choosing. Abrasive chemicals can damage the flooring, usu-ally by stripping away the finish and leaving the planks looking dull and worn.

Wood can also be very susceptible to scratch-ing or dents, depending on the type of wood finish that you choose. Dirt, sand or gravel that makes its way into your home could scratch the surface of your hardwood flooring. You’ll also want to sweep and vacuum your floor weekly to eliminate dust and particles. A few strategically-placed rugs and mats wouldn’t hurt either. Ask your guests to wipe their feet before entering a room with hardwood flooring.

Unlike other flooring trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained popular for over 200 years. Its popularity certainly isn’t going away any time soon. So if you want to keep your hardwood looking shiny and new, proper mainte-nance is vital. Consult the manufacturer’s guide or a flooring professional for cleaning techniques if you are unsure of how to care for your specific flooring.
