Over the past few decades, Fishers has seen growth in its population size. As of 2010 the U.S. Census Bureau calculated
that Fishers is approximately 78,000 people compared to the USCB reported 663 population in 1960.
Being that the USCB only conducts full cen-sus reports each decade, the growth Fishers is seeing may not coincide with the most recent USCB calculation in 2010. Be-cause of this gap, at the Aug. 17 city council meeting the Fishers City Council approved the Fishers Office of City Controller to conduct its own partial special census with a budget of $450,000.
A partial special census abides by the same USCB standards as a full census, but is not conducted on a decennial schedule and simply targets cer-tain areas of the municipality.
By conducting this partial special census, the city would capture additional revenue from the updated population growth.
“A lot of our revenues are based on popula-tion size,” city controller Oscar Gutierrez said. “Our community development team has as-sessed the city has grown since 2010, by ap-proximately 12,000 people. The census would be a partial census that is a more cost effective avenue to capture just the areas of growth. The census deals $373,390 for a partial census.”
The reason only a partial special census is being requested is the cost effectiveness. A full special census is approximately $1 million more in expenses compared to the special partial census.
“Based on the numbers that we calculated from our community development survey we
would capture approximately a little over 8,000 people with the special census,” Gutierrez said. “If we complete that by 2016, each year will see a revenue increase. By 2018 we would be at $693,000 net positive and would only be spend-ing $373,000 if the census data is correct.”
The census is set to begin in February. The projected revenue of the partial special census from 2017 to 2021 is approximately $1.45 million. The next USCB conducted full census would be 2020 and would not be complete until 2021 if the council did not take action.
While the census is projected to cost approxi-mately $373,000, conducting a census has ad-ditional financial incidentals such as paying for the training and enumeration space, promotions and public education, materials, maintenance costs, etc. Because of these additional costs, the controller’s office asked council for a spend-ing cap of $450,000 to be used from the city’s cash reserves.
“The census data is dealing with a $373,000 projection and we are just giving it a buffer so we don’t have to come back to [council],” Gutier-rez said.
In addition, a staff is required to conduct the census. To eliminate the risk of having to deal with unforeseen employment costs, the city will be contracting out to staffing firms that would ultimately have to deal with the hiring of staff.
“We are speaking with several of the cities staffing firms doing a special census, one of them in particular has hiring power. We are trying to work out a deal where we go through the same staffing company in Hamilton County to reduce the amount of money that we pay for overhead. So that part will not necessarily be on us, but will fall on the contract teams that we hire,” Gutierrez said.
“If we only hit a third of our target, we would still break out even,” Gutierrez said. “I think that this would be a great way for the city to make additional revenue.”

In most, if not all family law cases, the finalization of the divorce/case does not mean that all matters related to the case have concluded. Rather, the entry of a Court Order finalizing the matter is only a Court decision (or approval of an agreement) as to how all matters related to the case will be handled. Each Court Order contains provisions which must then be enforced in order to effectuate the decision. In many cases all provisions are carried out without issue. However, in the event either party fails to comply with the terms of the Court Order, mechanisms exist to gain an individual’s compliance. The Court can intervene after a party alleges noncompliance by the opposing party. Such an action can be initiated by filing (1) a Motion for Rule to Show Cause (commonly referred to as a “contempt” motion) notifying the Court of the issue. If the Court finds that the actions of one of the parties rises to the level of a contempt citation, a variety of penalties exist to punish the past actions and encourage future compliance with the Court Order. Parties would be well-advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with the enforcement of a Court Order as the remedies vary based upon the issue presented as well as the nature of the non-compliance itself.
Enforcement of Child Support. Pursuant to Indiana Law, there are potential civil and criminal penalties for the nonpayment of child support; failure to make support payments can have serious ramifications. As the receiver of support, you may request the Court exercise its power to hold the child support payor in contempt if they are not paying the correct amount in a timely manner. If the Court finds that the support obligations have not been met, the Court may order an award or attorney fees, order that the non-paying parent perform community service, attach additional payments to catch up the support, or even, in exceptional cases, order the temporary incarceration a non-payor of support. This is not a common outcome as, frequently, it is more counter-productive, putting that person in a position to lose their employment and lose their ability to make his/her child support payments. Be aware, however, that the Court must consider whether the acts of the non-payor are willful; if the circumstances under which this person is not paying are beyond their control, the Court may not believe a contempt citation is proper.
Enforcement of Real Estate / Property Issues. If an unpaid obligation remains from a divorce, in lieu of seeking remedies as a contempt action, another option to explore is to seek an Order establishing the debt as a money judgment and enforcing it through regular collections proceedings. This change from divorce obligation to money judgment, generally, removes the contempt aspects and simply turns the debt into money with statutory interest and the ability to collect through wage and bank garnishments. This is a decision best made with careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of conversion. Additionally, when the terms of the decree are not strictly an amount owed, the option to convert to a money judgment is not appropriate. For example, if the parties agree to refinance a mortgage into one party’s name and that person subsequently does not qualify for the same, the third party (the creditor) cannot be ordered to comply with the Court Order. Therefore, the remedy requested will likely be to modify the terms of the Decree, and not to find the party in contempt.
Self Help. One common (and tempting) misnomer is to try and leverage the situation by other actions such as withholding parenting time or refusing to provide information as an “incentive” to the other party to meet their obligations. These actions risk the wrath of the Court and could very well subject you to penalties as well as overshadowing the failings of the other party in the eyes of a court. Whether the remedies available through a Court seem the most efficient and effective way to deal with these issues, it is imperative that parties in family law cases understand that two wrongs really don’t make a right and one parent retaliating against the other as a substitute for bringing the issue before the Court is not likely to be tolerated the Judge.

Running in a five kilometer race is a great way to exercise, but for the Behavioral Analy-
sis Center for Autism, it’s also a great way
to raise awareness. That’s why the Fishers-based school is putting to-gether its second annual BACA Bolt for Autism on Sept. 13 at Fort Harrison State Park.
“This is the second year that we’ve done the BACA Bolt,” BACA Director of Market-ing Sarah Cox said. “It’s a run that’s really good for the avid runner and then it’s also going to be very family friendly.”
For the 5k race, prizes will be given to the top runners. Donations from various sponsors offer some unique awards.
“We’re going to give out prizes for first, sec-ond and third place for male and female run-
ners,” Cox said. “The prizes are actually going to be some donations that I’ve collected from different businesses around Indianapolis.”
Even if you’re not ranked in the top three, those who registered are still eligible to win prizes. Participants also re-ceive a free T-shirt.
“After the race is done and we’ve given out prizes to the top runners, we’re going to do random prize give-aways,” Cox said. “So it won’t even be dependent on the timing the person gets.”
For those not interested in the run, family and kid-friendly activities will be available at the event.
All proceeds of the event will go towards BACA based charities. Registration is $25 and $30 for late registration. A $7 entrance fee per car is required for Ft. Harrison State Park.

On Aug. 29, the Nickel Plate Players will be performing its juke box musical with a local touch, Heart-
light, at 8 p.m. at the Fishers Amphitheater. The musical show was created especially for the city of Fishers by NPP co-founder, Ashton Wolf.
Heartlight follows the trials, tribulations and triumphs of an aspiring musical artist, Amy Parrish, who enters an American Idol-style competition. While the musical competition only allows covers, Parrish writes her own song and performs it much to the chagrin of the show’s producers.
“The gist of the show is this…this is a cov-ers only contest but she makes it to the finals. All the while she’s a singer/songwriter. She says if I make it to the finals I’m going to sing a song I wrote,” said Wolf.
The show was co-written by Wolf and Dar-ren Willis, and takes place in Fishers.
“The show actually takes place in Fishers. I thought it would be fun to make it Fishers-centric. I thought it would be nice to use people in the community within the show,” said Wolf.
Parrish examines other successful singer/songwriters to find her heartlight.
Indianapolis area computer technical sup-port shop Computer Wizard is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The shop, which opened in
2005, focuses on residential custom-ers and small business support, but it wasn’t always as lucrative for owner Laszlo Szenes.
“It was tough. Money was very, very tight and the only mode of trans-portation I had was a bicycle,” Szenes said. “But it was much more reward-ing to be my own boss than working for someone else.”
Szenes began advertising the business by biking around the Indianapolis area on his bike, posting flyers around town. Within two years of operation, Computer Wizard assisted over 500 clients. Today, the business assists over 1,000 clients, including residents and businesses in Fishers.
To Szenes, it’s all about providing the sup-port and product to a customer that he would
want.“Something that I feel is sorely missing in
many businesses is keeping in touch with my clients. We handle every email, phone call, and text we get and we answer them quickly and thoroughly,” Szenes said.
It’s that consistent client base that Szenes says he is most proud of. Looking forward, though, Szenes’ mis-sion lies with educating his clients to resolve many of their own issues.
“I constantly see a great need and demand from users to better under-stand their computers,” Szenes said. “I feel that this would be much more beneficial on a much larger scale to people than just fixing computers.”
Those in need of computer repairs or as-sistance can find Computer Wizard at 9506 Thornwood Dr. in Indianapolis. On-site, remote, and in-shop services are provided Monday through Friday during standard business hours. For more information, go to computer-wizardindy.com.

“The idea is that Parrish is a singer/song-writer and she’s looking to discover that mag-ical hook. Or, what I like to call the heartlight, which has to do with what inspires her and what makes a great song. She goes to this club to witness and analyze all these great songs written by singer/songwriters. There is Elton John, Billy Joel, Carole King and so on,” said Wolf.
The show even includes a patriotic song written just for Fishers and Hamilton County.
“I wrote specifically for our community in mind,” said Wolf.
The show is free to attend. Guests can bring blankets, food and beverages to enjoy during the performance. For more information, visit nickelplateplayers.com.

Fishers resident, Tommalisa Lumpkin, had always been athletic and ac-tive. She was a dancer and ran marathons. Something changed
over the course of 10 years and she began to gain weight.
“I had two little babies 16 months apart in my 40s,” Lumpkin said. “I think from that point on is when I started going south because I started having knee problems. I had to have surgery in both my knees. I think it was a psy-chological shift. Then I started having health issues which I think was the direct result of the weight gain. So it was a combination of a lot of bad choices.”
A scary incident with her two young boys in 2013 spurred her to action.
“It was a horrible moment in my life. I liter-ally thought I was going to die. This particular morning we were sitting in the study, and we could see the bus coming in the neighborhood. There was this tightness in my chest where I couldn’t really breathe. I felt like my heart was beating in my throat, and I had never felt this before. They could see that something wasn’t right. I just prayed if I die, don’t let it be while
Families tend to stick together in the face of adversity, and that is just what one Fishers mother and son duo did.
When Cameo Moore was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, she completed che-motherapy and radiation. Yet her son, Cam-eron, wanted to help as well.
Cameron, a seventh grader at Fishers Junior High, had a “Make a Difference” project for school. He decided to really make a difference for his mom and others diagnosed with breast cancer and formed a Race for the Cure team called Team Cameo.
Just his team alone raised $6,006. Cameron had 114 participants and he was the 11th high-est individual fundraiser in the state.
“Because of his success and our story, I was invited to be a model at the Project Pink Fashion Show at Region Tower Rooftop,” Cam-eo said. “I, along with other survivors, co-sur-vivors and local celebrities, will be modeling creations by students from the Indianapolis Art Institute that are made from repurposed Race for the Cure T-shirts.”

they’re watching,” said Lumpkin. With the help of her children, Lumpkin
calmed down enough to drive them to school and herself to the ER. After a barrage of tests, she was told she had a panic attack.
She found a mental resolve to make a change. She hired a trainer, began hitting the gym and began to change the way she ate.
Today, Lumpkin finds motivation through competing in body building competitions and starting a motivational speaking business. She vows to stay fit for the rest of her life, and hopes she can help inspire others.
always participated in Race for the Cure through her work.
“The Project Pink Fashion Show is giving me the opportunity to get some of my confidence back since my diagnosis and treatment,” Cam-eo said. “Being diagnosed with cancer made me feel very vulnerable in every aspect of my life … I am forcing myself to be brave enough to walk down the runway because I will be in the company of other survivors.”
The Project Pink Fashion Show is Sept. 2. Anyone interested can purchase a ticket to attend the event or donate $1 by voting for Cameo at http://komenindy.org/indy-events/project-pink-fashion-.

The gardening space outside Holy Family Episcopal Church has come a long way from what it was when Joel Bruns first began
the Fishers church’s project five years ago.“We started with just three little raised gar-
den beds that were maybe 4 feet by 8 feet,” he said. “We started out with a very small space and that was really just me and a few of the youth from the church who were doing that. Then that’s where the idea came that we could open it up to the whole community.”
The Holy Family Community Garden first welcomed area gardeners in 2011 and has ex-panded nearly every year since to now feature 60 plots measuring 5 feet by 15 feet across two locations at the church’s Fishers Pointe Boulevard property.
“We’ve sold out every year that we’ve had it and we’ve had a waiting list almost every year. It just seems like every year we have more and more people and we have people who come back year after year so we keep expanding,” Bruns said. “Then this year we also added what essentially is one really long
plot that has been used by the vestry of the church to grow things solely to donate to the food pantry.”
Providing fresh produce to the Come to Me Food Pantry at Fishers United Methodist Church is what first spurned the garden’s cre-ation. Gardeners have also grown flowers that go on to be donated to area nursing homes and retirement communities.
“It’s always been part of our mission to use the garden as a way to help feed people in need in our community,” Bruns said. “Then when we opened it up to community mem-bers, we just asked on a voluntary basis that whatever gardeners grow they donate a por-tion back to the food pantry to continue that part of the mission.”
Holy Family also hosts monthly “Garden Talks” from the start of the growing season in April through October, led by gardener James Keith, with the training sessions touching on topics ranging from garden maintenance and fertilizer choices to canning vegetables.
The church is hosting its annual cookout to celebrate another growing season at 11 a.m. Sept. 5, with gardeners encouraged to bring dishes using ingredients grown in the garden.
GROWTH

In the past three decades, Fishers has grown from a small town with several thousand people to one of the fastest grow-
ing cities in the nation. Throughout those years the city has seen its fair share of influential figures, each contributing to
its success that’s apparent today. While many of these figures have come and gone, one man has consistently remained with Fishers throughout the run of progress.
Fishers Police Dept. Chief George Kehl has been serving his community for nearly for 40 consecutive years. Growing up in Fishers, Kehl has seen the full transformation of the town he grew up in. But on Aug. 11, Chief Kehl announced his retirement with FPD would be in September 2016, drawing a close to his service.
Kehl, one of the longest-serving active police chiefs in Indi-ana and Fishers’ longest serving employee, had been contem-plating his retirement for a few months until he felt it was the right time to make the announcement.
“Probably about the last eight months I’ve just been thinking about it,” Kehl said. You know when it’s the right time, without a question.”
Kehl originally joined the Fishers Police Dept. in 1975. By 1978, he became chief of police and has since remained in the posi-tion. The fact that he grew up in Fishers makes his commit-ment to the city that much stronger.
“George is one of those guys that’s been around here so long that his institutional knowledge is so vast,” Fishers
City Council president Pete Peterson said. “He knows where Fishers was. He knows how Fishers grew. He saw it grow. He reacted to that growth. He’s a tremendous asset for the community.”
Since he’s been in charge at FPD, Kehl has grown it into one of the top law enforcement agencies in the state. The police department has not only grown in size and professionalism, but has also received national accreditation under Kehl’s guidance.
“It was really fun, to be honest with you,” Kehl said. “The ac-creditation was a challenge. It took three years to get there.”
“I am so grateful for Chief Kehl’s leadership and his tireless service to our community,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “Under his command, the police department has grown into a dynamic, nationally accredited agency that takes a proactive approach to policing.”
“He’s certainly been a leader in law enforcement in this community for many years,” Carmel Chief of Police Tim Green said. “He’s helped Fishers grow to where it is today both as a department and as a respected and accredited law enforce-ment agency. His leadership and his dedication to our profes-sion; it’s just something I’m glad to have been a part of.”
Kehl has not only grown the police department to what it is today, but has managed to grow it alongside the 88,000-popu-lation city, a difficult task considering the amount of growth Fishers has seen.
“Many people who were in those kind of positions really weren’t capable of migrating those and growing their de-partments in a fashion that really fits with [Fishers] growth
pattern,” Peterson said. “George is obviously one who’s done extremely well in that position and continues having a depart-ment that’s not only grown with the community but has main-tained its absolute highest status among police forces around the state and really around the country.”
Served as the Fishers Chief of Police since 1978.Attended and graduated from the Federal Bureau of Inves-tigations National Academy – 1991.Participated in the LEEDS Academy elite school for law enforcement – 2001.Served as President of Indiana Chiefs of Police - 2006. Received the Sagamore of the Wabash award from Gover-nor Mitch Daniels – 2007.Implemented a successful criminal intelligence unit – 2012.
KEHL’S ACCOLADES
Q: What was one of your proudest moments?A: “Probably going to the FBI National Academy. That was a true honor to go to that,” Kehl said. Q: What were some of the most challenging moments?A: Kehl said the most challenging points in his career were budgets, hiring of new staff and homicide cases. “You never expect that type of thing to happen in a community like this, nor do you want it to happen,” he said. “Budgets are always a challenge. The hiring processes are always a chal-lenge making sure you get the best quality people.”

Where’s Amy?
Fishers resident Jerry Lynn waited patiently to meet Dr. Ralph Stanley with hopes of getting his CD autographed. He has been a fan of Stanley’s music for years.

Tuxedo Brothers TriathlonThe three top winners took time to pose for “Where’s Amy?” minutes after crossing the finish line. Drew Shellenberger, Indianapolis, and David Foresee and Mike Smith, both of Carmel. said they look forward to the friendly but fierce competition at the triathlons. (Photos by Amy Pauszek)
Got milk???... Chocolate milk that is! I loved talking with Ron “The Milkman” and Jenni Browning, senior director of communications and wellness for the American Dairy Association of Indiana. They donated hundreds of ice cold bottles of Chocolate Milk for participants and volunteers.
“Where’s Amy?” …I was cheering my heart out for the amazing participants of the Eagle Creek Sprint/Tuxedo Brothers Triathlon. Since 1984, Tuxedo Brothers of Zionsville have managed over 1,000 events that benefit service and charitable organizations. They have learned over their 30 years of experience that to be successful events must be fun and support a worthy cause. Runners Forum, a local Carmel running store, is a long time supporter of Tuxedo Brothers races and jumped at the opportunity to not only help sponsor the event but participate as well. The race was exciting and it was fun to witness the top male and female winners pour the traditional Chocolate Milk over their heads - thanks to the American Dairy Asscociation, who also donated hundreds of cold milk to all the participants and vol-unteers. I also enjoyed chatting with Kent King, director of community outreach at Endurance House located in Zionsville and Fishers. King’s tent was a popular hot spot for runners and was stocked with the latest running merchandise, education and fitness information for participants. “Where’s Amy?” had a blast capturing the day with photos and encourages everyone to attend a triathlon for inspiration.
Here’s to supergirl Jenni Berebitsky and her famous “J Team” members - It’s safe to say there was a sea of brown at the race and it was electrifying.
I loved meeting these two lovely ladies - Com-munity Hospital family doctor Susan Helsel and her daughter, Olivia. They told me they had a wonderful day and it was thrilling to experience the race together. They both worked hard and trained in Carmel where Helsel works.

We were semi-amused by a remark last week that indicated Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) shouldn’t feel overly troubled by the FBI hav-ing her computer server, because among the fervent Democrats nationally, she has “extreme enthusiasm” on her side from 33 percent. Oh, and 58 percent of Republican respondents indicated that the GOP would have a better shot at the White House were Donald Trump (R-Billions) not a candidate. Keep in mind, we wrote “Republicans,” the party of the spineless.
Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) is campaigning for the presidency on a number of points, including last week’s declaration that he will repeal ObamaCare (all of it), ensuring affordable and accessible health insurance for everyone. Of course, he will. There is zero percent chance of that happening with the liberal-dominated GOP. They fritter away such opportunity at every turn.
One of us traveled to and from coastal Vir-ginia in the last week, and, as one might do when venturing forth from the homestead, there were comparisons made and noted. First of all, the folks encountered in Virginia were as genial as they come. That, unfortu-nately, was contrasted by a number of rude and inwardly focused locals at LaGuardia In-ternational Airport in New York City. Reminds us of the old line: “Excuse me, sir, would you please tell me the time, or should I just go pound sand?” Never did the traveling party feel happier to walk through the nation’s No. 1 airport, Indianapolis International, on the way to the car for the ride home.

Why does my family hate me? Why, after I’ve been gone all day at work, must I come home to find two kids on an Oreo-crumbed
couch, one hiding out in her disaster of a room and the other ensconced in a five-hour
Xbox extravaganza while, quite literally, the house is dying a slow, agonizing death as it suffocates under cups of congealed milk, bowls of fruit-fly-infested cherries, tufts of random stuffing from a half-eaten dog toy and an avalanche of “New School Supplies!” debris? Why, dear Lord, why, can’t they think of their poor overwhelmed mother, and just for once, Pick. The heck. Up.
I get it. They’re kids with bigger and better agendas. Keeping the kitchen clean and the hallways navigable are clearly at the bottom of their “Consider Doing” lists, along with brushing their teeth and folding laundry. But my husband Doo isn’t any better. He’ll spend hours organizing the garage or the refrigera-tor, but won’t waste one minute on picking up a wet towel. I’ve actually seen him walk right past a countertop covered in a ques-tionable orange “substance”, plop his com-puter bag down in the middle of the floor, and continue on upstairs to bed. Arghh!!!
I’ve tried passive-aggressive whining, scary-mommy screaming, and on occasion, stink-eye staring, but nothing seems to work. Even when I remind my family that my love language is “Service,” meaning I feel loved when someone completes a task for me, I receive little more than a patronizing smile. Seriously, how hard is it to toss the empty milk jug? If they can hug, they can recycle!
Over the summer, the house was immacu-late. My kids did their chores, I constantly tidied and everyone was happy. Now that we’re back in school, there’s no time for dishes or vacuuming or stray Pop-Tart wrap-pers. So I’m stuck with unmade beds, a din-ing room table covered in pencil shavings, and a family who apparently enjoys watch-ing me go red-head crazy. I know they aren’t slobs on purpose, and deep-down I’m certain they love me, but lately it sure feels like hate!
Peace out.

HUMOR
Commentary by Terry Anker
The works of Ray Bradbury have stood the test of time. Bradbury’s works includ-ing: “The Martian Chronicles;” “Icarus Montgol-fier Wright;” “Something Wicked This Way Comes;” “Fahrenheit 451” and even a script for Warner Brothers’ release of the classic “Moby Dick” still challenge us to contemplate the role of government, censorship and the aspi-ration that we are not alone in this universe.
A few weeks back, a few civic leaders were invited to meet with the management team from Gen Con - the celebrated gam-ing convention often held in Indianapolis. As the conversation traversed topics as wide ranging as aggressive panhandling to hotel capacity to religious freedom, atten-tion turned to those things that make our community unique. Reminded of a recent visit to the basement archives of IUPUI, I mentioned the repository of Bradbury’s works, personal papers, and other artifacts safeguarded at the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies hoping that the out-of-towners
might be interested in visiting the collec-tion and seeing the treasures therein con-tained. Happily, they were.
Now, Jonathan Eller, Chancellor›s Profes-sor of English and director of the Center, is opening the collection for the general pub-lic. In the Campus Center Atrium (420 Uni-versity Blvd., Indianapolis), at 5 p.m. on Aug. 27, the Center will host a reception and Eller will give a lecture “on the collection’s amazing journey from California to IUPUI and the importance of Bradbury’s legacy in the 21st century.” Both are free and open to the public.”
Bradbury worked in the best and worst of our real and imagined culture. To take advantage of this amazing opportunity for an inside look, contact IUPUI at 274-1456 or [email protected] for more information.

I tried to model my TV persona on the great David Letterman. I loved it when Dave played
the straight man in a comedy bit. He knew – and you knew (and he knew you knew) – that
it was all a gag. After 35 years and 5,000 TV segments, there were always a few folks who didn’t know my humor was shtick.
At Hoosier Park in Anderson many years ago, I asked a jockey to stand on a chair and al-low me to interview him as “Otto, the world’s tallest jockey.“ The camera only revealed us above the waist. The jockey played it totally straight, even lamenting his poor basketball skills in high school. Turns out the horse’s owner was watching and had never met Otto – or seen me on TV – so she didn’t know I did shtick. She called Hoosier Park in a panic, concerned that her horse would be carrying a 6-foot 3-inch rider. How good an actor was Otto? He ended up playing the jockey in the movie “Secretariat.”
The Sybaris hotel is a place for lovers, complete with hot tubs, mirrors and some
contrivances I don’t know the names of. I interviewed the owner in one of the rooms and behind us in bed were friends I had asked to be part of the show. There was no hanky-panky, but they kept peeking out from under the covers. The next day, some viewers told me I had inadvertently gone into an occupied room. Seriously?
“You really don’t want to wake up my hus-band.” That’s what Dick the Bruiser’s wife said to me when I knocked on their door at 5:30 in the morning almost 25 years ago. Bruiser then sud-
denly appeared and put me in a headlock and slammed my noggin into the Weber grill. Then he picked me up and threw me in the swim-ming pool. Prearranged? Naturally. But, the next day my aching body didn’t know the difference.

By Joseph Knoop
For Hunter Smith, “team spirit” might mean two entirely different, yet altogether connected things. With a career span-
ning the world of professional football, the music industry, and even authoring a book, Smith’s own brand of country
rock was set to mean something a little bit more advanced and inspiring.
After 12 years of playing in the NFL for both the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins, collecting a slew of awards including a Super Bowl win in 2006, Smith dedicated himself to the world of music, informed by his unusual experiences and and spiritual leanings.
“I don’t know how many musicians are out there who’ve played professional football. Lots of musicians, some go to col-lege, some don’t, I went to a private catholic university in the north and got a degree in theology,” Smith, a Texas native said.
Coupling his religious studies with an additional degree in sociology, Smith originally performed with Connersvine, a dis-tinctly religious contemporary act before transitioning to the Hunter Smith Band. It’s there where Smith says he was able to let the sum of his life experiences inform his music, rather than his beliefs commanding total focus.
“One of the things I think people can sniff out is when you’re not genuine,” Smith said. “I really enjoyed my time doing that but after a while I found myself doing something that didn’t feel genuine. I felt like I was just supposed to write Christian songs because I was in this genre. It was [the industry’s] opin-ion of what a Christian song is and I just disagree with that opinion. I don’t think any kind of art form can be secluded.”
Smith continues to find his inspiration in his family, band-mates, and the bonds he shares with others.
“My faith informs my life on a lot of levels, and so as a result it does inform my music,” Smith said. “[God] teaches us to love one another so I write songs about loving people.”
Smith believes it’s his job to write about the realities of life, including the difficult experiences captured in songs like “Tail Lights” from his upcoming album.
“A woman leaves a man, and that doesn’t sound very Chris-tian, but it’s the reality a lot of people find themselves in,” Smith said. “And it’s not my job to glorify that reality, it’s to write an artistic picture of what that reality is and the emo-tion that goes with it. That’s not Christian. It’s just me, and I’m Christian.”
The Hunter Smith Band will perform a free album release show on Aug. 28 at the Traders Point Creamery at 9101 Moore Road in Zionsville, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m.
“What I love about writing songs is watching the Hunter Smith Band arrange and develop them,” Smith said. “I worked in teams my whole life, it only makes sense that I would do music. I could be a solo artist, but what would be the fun of that?”
For more information, go to Huntersmithband.com.
“In late winter of this year we stole away to a secluded lake cabin to track the record with our producer, Thom Daugherty,” said Hunter Smith. This is a photo from their time at the cabin.

Preparing for the season Part 2By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley
As we said last time, “football season is approaching.” So let’s continue our thoughts on getting ready for tailgate season. Besides equipment, we should focus on the food and friends. Here are some more reminders:
Connect with those friends you haven’t seen since last season. Are they going to be coming to games this year?
Discuss menu preferences with your tail-gate companions.
Talk about the first game’s date and kick-off time. Does any of the crew want to arrive early? Who can’t make it?
Set the menu and make assignments for whom brings what.
Deviled eggsHere is a warm weather favorite for your
first tailgate of the season. Everybody eats more deviled eggs than they will admit.
Ingredients: 12 large eggs, 1/2 cup Mayon-naise, 1/4 cup French’s Classic Yellow Spicy mustard, 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon, 1/2
These aren’t your normal deviled eggs. (Submitted photo)
cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 2 Table-spoons sweet pickle relish, 12 extra-large pit-ted black olives
Directions: Place eggs in pan large enough to hold them in single layer. Cover eggs with cold water by 1 inch and heat just to a boil. Remove from burner and cover the pan. Let the eggs stand in hot water about 12 minutes. Drain immediately and cool completely under cold running water or in bowl of ice water. Then put eggs into the fridge until ready to prepare. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, re-move egg yolks and reserve whites. In a bowl, mash yokes with the remaining ingredients. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the egg whites. Garnish each with a half black olive.
Special Tip For easier peeling, use eggs that are 7 to 10 days old.

Peewinkle’s Puppet Studio’s main purpose is to entertain children, but there is also an educa-tional aspect.
The studio will present the “Peewinkle Goes Fishing” puppet show Sept. 16 through 25 (with no shows on Sept. 21-22) at 25 E. Henry St. in Indianapolis.
Peggy Melchoir said this show is attractive to teachers because the show is designed ed-ucational under-the sea adventure introduces children to different types of sea life, such as octopus, jelly fish and sea horses. The show is designed for ages 2 through 8. Tickets are $8. Those 2 and under are admitted free.
“It’s primarily for pre-schoolers,” Melchoir said. ”It’s a 28-minute show. We have optional workshop for people who want to stay after. It’s primarily for Mom’s groups or preschools. There are lot of different style of puppets in it and we’ve made everything.”
Melchoir was born into the business. In the early 1950s, her late mother, Erica, a German immigrant, started the Melchoir Marionettes in Lorain, Ohio.
In 1972, Melchoir brought the business to the Indianapolis area. In 1983, she opened The Melchoir Marionette Theater in Nashville, Ind., operating four months a year. In 1997, Melchoir and partner Debi White opened the Indianapo-lis studio. Melchoir serves as artistic director
and puppeteer. Debbi White serves as execu-tive director and puppeteer. Melchoir’s daugh-ter, Heidi Shackleford, also provides technical help and serves as a puppeteer.
“We may have the longest running family marionette company in the United States,” Melchoir said. “We’re getting close to our fourth generation as my granddaughter (Nevi) is 11 and performs with us on occasion.”
The puppets also will make its annual ap-pearance at Penrod Arts Fair on Sept. 12 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Tickets for the “Peewinkle Goes Fish-ing” and a schedule of dates and times are available at peewinklepuppets.org.

Hot off their debut single, “Halfway,” the future is looking bright for the young Christian band, 3For3.
They may be new to the music scene, but that has not slowed down Spencer Lloyd, Benji Shuler, and Josh Davis one bit. The trio has created their own unique sound with a Christian message. The band’s hit single was co-written by band member Shuler and backed by award-winning producer Bernie Herms.
The three young men first got their start in music at a very young age by singing and performing in church.
3For3 comes from the Bible scripture Psalm 34:3. The scripture states, “Join me in spread-ing the news together, and let’s get the word out.”
This is the exact type of positive message that the band has always wanted to spread.
The band’s Air 1 Positive Hits Tour will be
making a stop in Carmel on Aug. 27 at North-view Church. This is the first stop on the tour and the first place that the trio will be able to express their message. To hear the band’s tunes online before the show, visit 3for3mu-sic.com/ or find them on iTunes.
For tickets to the Aug. 27 show, visit http://cms.air1.com/positive-hits-tour.aspx. North-view Church, where the show will be taking place, is at 12900 Hazel Dell Pkwy, Carmel.

“Back Home Again,” a gallery presented by the Hamilton County Artist’s Association,
will run from now until Oct. 16 at the HCAA gallery at 195 Fifth St. in Noblesville.
The gallery features noted artists from surrounding communities with works remi-niscent of Indiana, including pastoral fields, small towns, city life, and traditional home comforts.
“It reflects our own area, so people in-terpret it different ways,” vice president in charge of exhibitions Carol Griffith said.
Various mediums of artwork will be displayed, including oil paintings, acrylics, watercolors, and even stenography.
The HCAA is a nonprofit organization founded in 1950 by nine area artists with the expressed purpose of promoting local artwork. To that end, the HCAA is known for providing $1,000 scholarships to area art students and summer workshops for bud-ding artists.
The nonprofit was granted use of the First Baptist Church in Noblesville, a historic black church, in 2006, and served as the

organization’s first permanent place to display its members’ artwork.
“It’s a little off the beaten path, you have to make an effort to get there, so not everyone is familiar with it, but it’s a really cool place to visit,” Griffith said.
The gallery features the works of artists such as Rodney Reveal (watercolors, western themes), Roseann Crowell (pastels, portraits), Donna Arnold (watercolor, caricatures), and Robert Daugherty, a former White House AP photographer.

Home sales up 5 percentCommentary by Jim Litten
With average Central Indiana home prices reaching $185,529 in July 2015, home sale prices are up 5.3 percent com-pared to July 2014.
Eight of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher
home sale prices in the first seven months of 2015 com-
pared to the same time period last year. Hamilton County is among the areas that reported gains with an average sale price of $277,230, an increase of 4 per-cent compared to the same time period last year.
date home sale prices rose 2.7 percent to $259,287, an increase of $6,725 compared to the same time period last year.
Fishers/Geist Market last month, one was priced above $2,000,000; one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; seven were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 53 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 46 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 85

slightly in the Fishers/Geist market. In July 2015, 200 homes sold, a decline of 38 homes from July 2014.
We’re seeing the best July in the last five years in terms of sale prices, which have increased more than $34,000 on average. Meanwhile, the number of avail-able homes on the market is the lowest we’ve experienced in five years – all pointing to a more balanced, stable mar-ket that tends to benefit sellers.

HEALTH
Commentary by Kirsten Shaw
1. Plan meals around protein to stay full longer.
2. Sleep. Not only does skimping on sleep affect the part of the brain in charge of
decision-making and impulse-control, but nu-merous studies find that
a lack of sleep leads to increased crav-ings for energy-dense, high-carbohydrate foods.
3. Be conscious of how certain foods taste and how they make your body feel. Avoid eating in scenarios where you can’t savor your food. Eating in the car or in front of the television makes it more difficult to notice when you’re full.
4. Breathe. Often when people start to feel physically and psychologically satisfied, they will take a deep breath followed by a “stop eating” sigh.
5. Make late-night snacking inconvenient; working on a puzzle with wet nails in the basement promises to make mindless eat-ing quite a challenge.
6. Write. Keeping a food log can double a person’s weight loss. Recording as you go and keeping detailed entries will help
you stay mindful as well as identify triggers, patterns and opportunities for improvement.
7. Silence your persistent, extra-loud crav-ings by savoring a small portion. One fourth of a full-fat, full-calorie cupcake is going to satisfy the urge much more effectively than a full-sized, cardboard-flavored “healthy” alternative.
8. Chew. Taking time to eat gives your brain the time it needs to send out signals of fullness.
9. When you eat for any reason other than hunger (i.e. thirsty, emotional, bored), your body is incapable of cuing you that you’re full. Add harder-to-stop-at-one foods to protein-rich, balanced meals so your body can be your ally in pumping the brakes.
10. Forgive. If you lose your way, don’t give up. Offer yourself as much grace as you’d offer a complete stranger.

Don’t ice bruises – Icing your injuries is sup-posed to be the right thing to do. Apparently, however, applying ice to a bruise may actually
delay healing. The ice reduces inflammation, which sounds good, but inflammation is impor-tant to tissue regeneration. Using ice on a fresh bruise might slow the formation of new muscle fibers during the recovery process.

TMJ and digestive problems – According to tradi-tional Chinese medicine, the jaw joint is connect-ed by an energy meridian to the small intestine. As a result, TMJ problems can cause digestive disorders as well as headaches, earaches, vertigo and other ailments. Suggested remedies for TMJ problems include jaw exercises, facial massage, stress management and/or a mouth guard.

Shade and how the pergola won
OUTDOOR LIVING
A pergola was the perfect solution for a family seeking shade. (Submitted photo)
Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm. He may be reached at 679-2565, [email protected] or www.choosesurroundings.com.
Commentary by Randy Sorrell
That was the primary objective of this Zionsville home project and an oversized per-
gola was the ideal solution. Of course, we considered other
ideas from huge cantilever umbrellas, forward thinking shade sails and even a formal roof structure. The pergola won.
BLAZING SUN, AND A PERGOLA SOLUTIONA southwestern exposure baked the back
of the home and caused the ambitiously sized stamped concrete patio to be unusable on sunny afternoons. The kiddie pool, stainless steel grill and sleek, upscale furniture were taking a beating and showing early signs of potential sun damage. Kitchen, living room and the dining area windows all overlook the area, which was difficult to cool. A confident solu-tion was imperative.
This 20’x20’ modern pergola design is com-pletely custom and driven by the homeowner’s on-line research and desire for something dif-ferent. It served as inspiration for our team to create a completely unique structure. Because of the location, a building permit was required.
FLOATING. Premium cedar 6”x6”x12’ standard posts
were set in footers that were cut through the existing concrete patio. Large 2”x12” beams were jointed on the ends (instead of a more traditional overhang) in a clean fashion. An additional set of 2”x10” beams seem to float on top. To create an amazing volume of shade, two layers of overhead units were installed creating a heavy shade footprint underneath. The floating sensation is a very powerful ar-chitectural detail and fun to imagine.
Often, we are able to create shade escapes in a number of manners on the same project. Shade trees are very affective, but take a few years to cause impact. Pergolas are immedi-ate. Throw in recessed blinds and a few um-brellas and often the problem is solved.
We are thrilled the homeowners are loving their newfound shady outdoor living space!

Hardwood flooring and the Janka scale
INTERIORS
Use the Janka Scale to determine what type of hardwood floor you might want. (Submitted photo)
David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies.com). E-mail
Replacing your old flooring with shiny, new hardwood is one way to attract buyers
into your home. But if you thought that all wood floor-ing was created equal, you
may want to dig a little deeper. Understanding the different types and species of hardwood floor is an essential part of selecting your flooring.
The most common types of wood used to make flooring include:
Red Oak: The most popular flooring op-tion in the U.S. because of its rich color and tough grain.White Oak: Has similar properties to its cousin, the red oak, but is slightly harder and more durable.Pine: Pine’s recognizable swirls, knots and yellowish brown color has made it a popular choice for flooring and siding. It also has a natural resistance to insects.Cherry: Because it’s a soft wood, cherry isn’t often the best choice for flooring. However, it makes an excellent decora-tive or accent wood.Exotic: Many homeowners are choosing to install flooring made from renewable
resources, such as cork or bamboo. When choosing a wood species, you’ll want
to take into account the relative hardness of the wood. Harder wood grain means that the flooring will be more likely to withstand the wear done by heavy furniture and foot traffic. The Janka scale was developed to give home-owners and builders an idea about the rela-tive hardness of a particular type of wood.. The test figures out how many PSI of force is needed to push a steel ball into a wood plank. Woods like Mahogny and Hickory have Janka
scale ratings of 2200 and 1800, putting them on the high end of the scale.
Weigh your options carefully until you find the perfect flooring to fit your home.

2015 COMEDY TOUR
Commentary by Don Knebel
Peter the Great literally changed the face of Russia after a trip to Europe. Peterhof, often
called the “Russian Versailles,” is among the most impressive ar-chitectural results of that trip.
Peter became tsar of a land-locked Rus-sia in 1682 at age 10. In 1697, he undertook a “Grand Embassy” to European capitals, seeking support for Russia’s quarrels with the Ottoman Empire. During 18 months in Eu-rope, Peter acquired a penchant for Europe’s technology and traditions, including its clean shaven men. On Peter’s return, he ordered all Russian men to shave their beards or pay a stiff tax.
To establish a sea route to Europe, Peter captured from Sweden a small town at the eastern end of the Gulf of Finland and built a new port city on that site beginning in 1703. The city, named “St. Petersburg” in honor of St. Peter, had a distinctively European look, with classical façades and broad canals. Peter made it the capital of Russia in 1712.
Because the sea adjacent St. Petersburg was too shallow for a commercial harbor, Peter built his harbor on a captured island several miles west of the city. Peter then built a palace complex on a bluff 50 feet above the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland to be nearer his harbor in the summer. Named “Peterhof,” Dutch for “Peter’s Court,” the complex includes a unique collection of gardens and fountains. The “Grand Cascade,” incorporating 64 fountains between the palace and the sea, was inspired by a palace of Louis XIV. All water from Peter-hof’s 144 fountains comes from local springs and sprays into the air without pumps.
Peter the Great traveled by carriage to Pe-terhof through the countryside along the Gulf of Finland. Today, a hydrofoil makes the trip from St. Petersburg to the “Kingdom of Foun-tains” in about 45 minutes.

This week’s column idea comes straight from the top: Current Publishing VP and Gen-
eral Manager Steve Greenberg – and since he signs my checks, I
figured it was worth writing about (the Les Misérables reference is all me though, baby).
My musical theatre-in-clined readers will know Fantine actually sings “I dreamed a dream,” not “I dreamt a dream.” Pho-netic preferences aside, it easily could have been “I dreamt a dream,” though, since, though the original lyrics for the musical adaptation of Vigo Hugo’s novel were written in French, the English translation was done by Herbert Kretzmer, who was born in South Africa while it was a British colony.
Now that you’re all sufficiently bored, here’s why all that matters: “Dreamed” and “dreamt” are both perfectly acceptable as the past tense of “dream,” however “dreamt” is much more common among British speakers – par-ticularly those taught Received Pronunciation.
There are a number of verbs with equally
interchangeable past tense forms: “learn,” “spoil,” “burn,” etc. “Dreamt” is a little more common than “spoilt,” perhaps, but I wager to say you hear it less in American English than “burnt.” At any rate, all of the “-t” forms tend to be used more frequently in British English.
I’ve written previously about “burned” and “burnt,” and situations where you might favor one over the other – but that’s not really the
case here. “Dreamed” and “dreamt” are equally acceptable in every situ-ation I can think of. The best reason to favor “dreamed” is that it’s going to sound more natural to the American
ear. If you’re writing for a British audience, the reception might be the same regardless of which word you pick.
So that’s it: When it comes to “dreamt” and “dreamed,” you can’t go wrong. What a great world to live in, huh?
I dreamt a dream
