Have any of you out there realized that every fall it seems your Sundays take on a new meaning? Does your spouse, partner, or significant other turn into an entirely different person for 17 to 22 weeks from September to February? And then, do they spend the next six months telling you how they can’t wait until next season? Were you like me and thought that when you heard Peyton Manning was out for the season (most likely), you might [...]
When Sherri Meyer, president of Property Group One, LTD, chose the name Watercolors, she envisioned a European Country French community with a colorful ambience. Sherri and her building partner and daughter, Nicole Newkirk, are building their custom condo homes community just north of 96th Street on Olio Road. The name Watercolors is a good fit, as this lovely community has 3 large bodies of water with ever-spraying crystal clear water fountains that come alive at night with rich colors. In [...]
The Harrison Parkway School Student Council recently collected just under $700 by holding a spirit week. HPE Students were encouraged to bring in spare change in order to participate in special dress-up days. The money was then used to purchase items for Trick-or-Treat for Kids off Their Feet benefiting patients at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent. This community service event allows student organizations to collect “treats” for children who are unable to trick-or-treat on Halloween night due to an [...]
Husband and wife team Phillip and Amy Parham faced an extreme challenge together when they appeared on season six of The Biggest Loser, but their need to get physically healthy wasn’t the only challenge they have faced as a family. The Parham’s youngest son, Rhett, is autistic. According to the Community Autism Resources Forum, “Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in America, with 1 in 110 children (and 1 in 70 boys) being impacted by the disorder. Because Autism is [...]
My family has been attending a new place of worship on Sunday mornings, and we think we have found the perfect spot. The Unitarian minister is engaging. The congregation is warm and welcoming. Even the coffee is good after the service. In fact, I wouldn’t fix a thing. More to the point, I can’t fix a thing, yet that’s exactly what they asked me to do. Last week, there was a sign-up sheet posted for some terrific social networking opportunities, [...]
Thanksgiving gets no respect. It’s the Rodney Dangerfield of holidays, and I’m not going to take it anymore. Every year I stand by and watch as Americans abruptly switch their attention from stale, leftover Halloween candy to twinkling lights and eggnog. I’ve even caught the holidays themselves contributing to the injustice. Just the other day I saw Halloween standing on one side of Thanksgiving, while Christmas and Hanukkah were standing on the other, all yelling, “SUCK IT,” right to Thanksgiving’s [...]
The word, “Geist” is German for spirit or ghost. Appropriately so, the graveyards within the Geist area have been here for hundreds of years enduring many obstacles, ranging from weather, erosion, falling trees, construction work, vandalism, fire and time. A handful of them have been destroyed. Yet, all of them deserve some recognition. At Halloween, we typically think of cemeteries as normal backdrops for that perfect scene in a scary flick with fog hovering over the tombstones covered in cobwebs [...]
What’s your comfort level when driving on roundabouts? These bagel-shaped junctions are starting to “make their rounds” towards the Geist and Fishers area. A new one just opened at the corner of 96th and Fall Creek and another one is going in at 106th and Lantern Road. Also, there is a possibility of a future one to be installed at the intersection of 96th and Cumberland in 2014. A few weeks ago, my husband and I were driving on the [...]

Cool Creek Haunted Trails Ghouls and goblins are lurking in woods at Cool Creek Park. Haunted trails twist and turn daring hikers to take their next step – which could be their last.

“You have cancer.” When Traci Runge heard those paralyzing words, they sounded like a death sentence. Having no family history of cancer, it didn’t make sense. She was a healthy wife and mother to three daughters, training for a triathlon and getting ready to run Race for the Cure when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2010. “My heart ached because I knew in my gut that it was bad. I cried for me but more importantly I [...]
