• Real Estate Market is Brighter in Fishers

  October 28, 2006 / Local News

  Unlike other parts of Hamilton County, Indiana, the real estate statistics in Fishers paint a rosier picture for home sellers. Since before the end of last year, the statistics for the number of homes sold have been declining across the country. There have also been regional trends where the average sales prices have been decreasing, but not in Fishers. According to the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors (MIBOR), the average sales price of homes in July 2006 was down .9% [...]

• Take Your Mark, Get Set, Spell!

  October 28, 2006 / School News

  Sovereignty, zeppelin and phenomenon. Not words that we use in everyday conversation or writing, but if we do find the need to use those words – or words like them – well, thank God for spell check, or even an old-fashioned dictionary. However, for a select few fifth through eighth graders at Riverside School, learning how to spell words like these is what they love to do and, to my amazement, have volunteered to do! I am talking about the [...]

Not too hot or too cold, autumn is just right for reviving your senses and venturing out on a hayride at one of the nearby places that celebrate Fall and family traditions.

  October 24, 2006 / Crime Watch

  The Halloween tradition has many symbols associated with it. One of the most popular icons of Halloween is, of course, the pumpkin. It was the Irish who started carving gourds and turnips in Ireland. But in the 1840s when the Irish came to America to leave the potato famine, they found out quickly that pumpkins were much easier to carve. So how did this translate into “Jack-O-Lantern?” According to an Irish tale, a man named Jack (who was a trickster [...]

• Geist Christian Church Branching North into Fishers

  October 24, 2006 / Not for Profit

  When Pastor Randy Spleth started Geist Christian Church 21 years ago, the small congregation of just 31 people couldn’t have envisioned what it would become two decades later. With about 2,500 people attending services and special programs, Geist Christian ranks among the largest churches in the area, and the rapid growth shows no signs of slowing. Although the church just finished a 15,000-square-foot addition to its facility at 86th Street and Mud Creek Road, plans are underway for a North [...]

  Basketball season is almost here and at The Fieldhouse in Fishers it is always basketball season! We are “Hoosiers” after all and it is in our blood to play the ole hoop now and again all year round!

I met with Mark Tamm who, along with [...]

  From the time he was 10 years old, Fishers resident Alan Schulte has been swinging a golf club, honing his game and building his golf career. I caught up with this golf pro and PGA member at his home course of Hawthorn Country Club one overcast morning. We sat outside overlooking a perfectly manicured putting green while I gathered some insights on this local pro; his life, career and what keeps him going. Schulte had a pretty impressive and busy [...]
