Kiwanis Club of Fishers celebrates Easter with its 30th-annual egg huntBy Christian Sorrell • [email protected]
The Kiwanis Club of Fishers has been put-ting on an egg hunt every Easter weekend for the past 30 years. This year, the egg hunt is planned to include more than 15,000 plastic eggs, making it the largest egg hunt in the area.
“(It) has not always been this big. It started in the early '80s as a smaller affair. In the early '90s, we partnered with the Town of Fishers Parks Dept. and moved it to Holland Park. In 2000, we had 10,000 eggs. Starting in 2002, we had 12,000 eggs, and it has grown steadily since then. This is our biggest year yet,” said Chad Garrard, vice president of the Kiwanis Club of Fishers.
Hours of preparation will lead to an egg hunt that will ultimately last less than five minutes. Garrard recorded the total time of last year’s hunt and it took less than two-and-a-half minutes for the children to find all the eggs.
“We spend two of our regular meetings in March stuffing the eggs. These meetings are attended by Kiwanis members, but most of the work is done by various youth groups with whom the Fishers Station Kiwanis Club has a relationship with. These include Key Club members from Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers High School, as well as Builders Club members from St. Louis De Montfort and Riverside Junior High. We also get a lot of help from the Royal Rascals of 4-H. This year, we had approximately 60 volunteers from these groups at each meeting,” said Garrard.
After a full month of preparation and a full morning of spreading eggs, the hunt will finally take place Saturday at Roy G. Holland Memo-rial Park in Fishers. The Easter Bunny will be in attendance and available for pictures starting at noon. During the hunt, eggs will be divided into different areas based on age to avoid any younger children being run over by larger
children. Garrard said donations are accepted, although not expected.

This weekend, the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre begins its production of “Superhero: The Story of a Man Called Jesus,” a modern full-length ballet chronicling the finals days of Jesus’ life through the eyes of the women around him. With two performances near the end of Holy Week and just prior to Easter, “Superhero” is hoping to blend the classic Easter story with dance, music and a new atmosphere that prom-ises to be a very spiritual experience.
Gregory Hancock, director of “Superhero” and the dance theater’s artistic director, has been with the production since it was first conceived.
“‘Superhero’ is set in any time and any place, although with costuming, I have chosen to have an India feel. This is partly a personal choice, as much of my work is inspired by the culture and themes of India,” said Hancock. “The set consists of several scrolls of writings from the Gospels written in Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. Dancers also wear head coverings that have text written on them as well. This was chosen to surround the dancers with inspiration and add more spirituality into the piece.”
By focusing on the story from the perspective of Jesus and the women around him during his most difficult times, “Superhero” is hoping to portray a unique version of the spiritual tale.
“I chose to portray Jesus as a common man who ultimately became divine and the son of
God. The piece shows his human battles of accepting his destiny and the pain this causes to the people surrounding him. The women surrounding him give more humanity to his struggles,” said Hancock.
The unique aspects of ballet allow for entirely new aspects of the story to come to life. In this case, the cross Jesus is forced to carry and later crucified upon has been personified.
“The cross is also portrayed through a dancer. There is an absolutely beautiful duet between the cross and Jesus. It is difficult to describe, simply something that has to be experienced.”
‘Superhero’ blends ballet with essence of Holy Week

“I am very happy that in the three years since we opened Artists on the Square in Noblesville,” said director Trish Morris-Butcher, “the gallery has added custom framing, classes in painting, pottery and polymer clay and now, the new boutique.”
Opening in conjunction with an anniversary celebration April 13, the boutique – located on the second floor of the gallery – will feature more craft-style artwork, continuing the tradition of of-fering unique artwork. The expansion also allows many new artists to join the original co-op.
“The consigned items found upstairs in the boutique will be pieces that extend beyond tradi-tional art, but that still have ‘the artist’s touch,’” said artist Wend Boomhower. “More than 16 artists have already consigned works for the bou-tique with offerings that include home accents, garden items, wearable art, furniture, musical selections and even more ‘masculine’ pieces.”
“I am approached constantly by artists whose work, while unique and artistic, doesn’t fit into what we want to display in the gallery,” Morris-Butcher said. “Many of the gallery art-ists wanted to expand into other mediums and styles of artwork. The new boutique gives them
that opportunity.”The Artists on the Square anniversary and
boutique opening takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. April 13 at 853 Conner St. The event includes music, food and fabulous art. For additional information, visit www.artistsonthesquare.com.

Ham steak with Pineapple
RECoMMENDATIoN: Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling 2006 – $23Ham is often prepared with glazes or toppings that are sweet and can balance the inherent saltiness of the actual meat. Well-paired wines can accomplish the same objective. For ham, the best "tried and true" companion wines are hands-down – a Riesling or a Gewürztramin-er. Both wines tend to offer fresh, flavorful taste profiles with enough sweet fruit to balance the salt in the ham and enough acidity to support the combination without compromising the flavor in either the ham or the wine. Available online and at specialty stores. - About.com

Review by Tania Roudebush
“And Know This Place: Poetry of Indiana,” edited by Jenny Kander and C.E. Greer, is the first anthology of Indiana poetry to be pub-lished in more than 100 years. The 116 poets whose poetry appear in the book live in Indiana or have lived in Indiana long enough to acquire a sense of place. These include contemporary poets such as Jared Carter, Norbert Krapf, Etheridge Knight and Mary Ellen Solt, as well as poets from the past such as James Whitcomb Riley, Jessayman West, William Vaughn Moody and Marguerite Young.
Roger Mitchell states in the forward that even though Americans are a nation of movers, we want to come from somewhere, not just the U.S., and have that place matter. “‘And Know This Place’ is a quilt of the state’s mind as it takes shape today,” he says.
Some of my favorite poems are: “Sanctuary” by Joseph Heithaus, which is an ode to the Putnam County Library on its centennial, “The Piankashaw in the Sycamore” by Norbert Krapf,
about an Indian lying on a branch up in a sycamore tree over the river his people used to live along, Mary Solt’s concrete poem “Forsythia” and “Washington Street, Indianapo-lis at Dusk 1892-1895” by Dick Pflum, which is nostalgic for a time gone by.
April is National Poetry Month. It’s a month-long national celebration of poetry that pro-motes living poets and our poetic heritage.

Review by Christian Sorrell
First things first. I have read all three of “The Hunger Games” novels and enjoyed all of them.
The film, directed by Gary Ross (“Seabis-cuit”), starts off strong with a unique visual and aural style unlike most teen-focused films we’ve seen in recent years. The main character Katniss Everdeen’s hometown of District 12 is portrayed appropriately, and the use of docu-mentary-style shaky-camera makes it feel very down-to-earth. Sadly, this strong visual style makes an exit from the film as soon as Katniss heads for the Capitol, roughly one-fourth of the way into the movie.
What follows is a lackluster hodgepodge of greatly abbreviated scenes that lack any real emotion and low-budget composite work that fails to make most of the scenes taking place during the film’s second act feel like anything more than actors in a studio in front of green screens.
In the end, the only character I felt invested in was Katniss. Too little time and dialogue was spent on any of the other characters to make them really all that memorable (with the possible exception of Peeta). Despite the film’s frantic pace, it all just ended up feeling more like fan service than effective story-building. All of the major notes of the book are present,
but largely without any of the trimmings that make them feel important, relevant or even interesting.
“The Hunger Games” is certainly not a bad film, but it just isn’t all that good of one, either. If you are a fan of the novels, it may be worth seeing, but if not, I wouldn’t recommend the film. Despite all of this, its success is already assured. I am just hoping for the inevitable: a better, bigger-budget sequel.

Review by Chris Lloyd
“War Horse” got an Academy Award nomina-tion for Best Picture – plus five other nods – but little real love. Box office receipts were respectable, but hardly stratospheric. The film won virtually none of the awards for which it was nominated. The best way to describe the reception given to “War Horse” was one of respectful indifference.
While hardly one of Steven Spielberg’s best films, “War Horse” certainly deserves better than the miserly regard it’s been afforded. It’s a lush family drama, sad but redemptive, the sort of old-fashioned movie-making not seen in great quantities for at least half a century.
The star of the story is Joey, a brilliantly fast and spirited horse from England who becomes the ob-
ject of affection for a variety of people leading up to and during World War I. At first, he’s the ward of Albert (Jeremy Irvine), a poor farm boy, but then Joey is conscripted into the British cavalry.
As the years roll by and the horrors mount up, Joey’s fortunes change as often as the land-scape, from rolling French countryside to the nightmarish labyrinth of trench warfare.
Even though the film lacks anything resembling suspense, it’s still a fantastically emotional ride.

Jennifer Lawrence’s portrayal of Katniss Everdeen is the strongest aspect of the film.
