Kingshill takes over DWA

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Former City Councilman Ken Kingshill has accepted a new role to help better the Westfield community. As executive director leadership of Downtown Westfield Association, Kingshill plans to keep the organization an active and vibrant part of the community.

“I want to make sure we don’t skip a beat,” he said. “I’ve been neck-deep in it since the beginning.”

Kingshill stepped down as president of the DWA board to replace Anne Poynter, who left the position earlier this year to take a job with project management firm Netlogx in Indianapolis.

“I’m excited to have Ken step into the position.

He is what I am – someone who is really passionate about seeing downtown grow,” she said.

Poynter, who still lives in Westfield, said she still will be involved in the organization she headed for two and a half years.

“I think it’s important we keep things going here,” she said.

Kingshill said his goal is simple: The economic development of downtown and incoming community development in downtown.

“I was part of the Grand Junction Task Force since

day one. I have chaired or co-chaired its entire life and am deeply invested in the whole downtown,” he said.

Kingshill described Westfield’s downtown as “a place where connections are made.”

“We want to bring people into downtown,” he said.

One of the biggest projects facing Kingshill is Grand Junction, which will be a new development for retail, restaurants, office space and residences in the heart of downtown.

“We’re marketing the Grand Junction project, keeping it in the forefront. We’re trying to keep the public aware even though it’s hard to see,” he said. “We’ll continue to make downtown as a viable place even with construction on U.S. 31 and Ind. 32.”

Being involved is nothing new to Kingshill, who served as the first city council president and was on the council from 2008 to 2012. He also is a member of the Youth Assistance Program board, Westfield Rotary and is president of the city’s Advisory Plan Commission.

“I want to be involved in Westfield,” he said. “I’ve been heavily involved ever since the town became a city. It’s become a passion. I enjoy working with the mayor and city organizations.”

While the Westfield Farmer’s Market was canceled this summer, upcoming events include Westfield Rocks the Fourth on July 4th and Grand Junction Funktion on Oct. 5.

Blood drive – The Westfield Police Dept. will host the 2013 Indiana Fallen Officer Blood Drive from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on June, 11. The WPD would like to remember Deputy Marshal David K. Brown, who was lost in the line of duty on Jan. 11, 1969. Brown was shot while checking on a suspicious person behind Westfield High School during an investigation of the theft of livestock.

Planting pride – The garden areas at Quaker and Asa Bales parks recently got a big burst of color with purple and white petunias during the Westfield in Bloom Community Plant Day. Stephanie Baumann, Westfield Parks Dept. recreation program coordinator, said approximately 35 volunteers came out during the fifth annual event. The group included community members, local 4-H’ers, WIB members and parks staff. Purple and white were chosen because it is the predominant color for the upcoming WIB floral display competition. Baumann said the flowers and supplies were generously donated by Heartland Growers in Westfield.

Senior dives into graduation

By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com

Some high school seniors celebrate their graduation by hosting an open house, going out to eat with their family, or maybe Diversion hanging out with some fellow graduates – but not Westfield High School senior Cassie Petty. Instead of the typical graduation celebrations, she decided to jump out of a plane.

Because it was Petty’s first time skydiving, she was nervous but didn’t even think about backing out. When it was time to jump, the Skydive Indianapolis instructor that was strapped to Petty pushed them toward the opening of the plane.

“The scariest moment was when the plane door opened and the first two solo skydivers jumped into the open air,” Petty said. “It became very real at that point.”

Although she was terrified at first, Petty wants to go again within the next year.

“The best part was the first minute after jumping out of the plane when we were in free fall,” she said.

After the instructor pulled the parachute, Petty and her experienced skydiver fell for about five minutes before they safely landed on the ground where her nervous mother and stepfather awaited her.

Plummeting toward the ground from an altitude of 12,000 feet might be considered a punishment by many, but Petty claimed it was the best experience of her life and wants to make her mother jump with her the next time she goes. In her eyes, skydiving was the perfect way of celebrating her going off to Indiana University in the fall where she plans to major in business.

“It was the most surreal experience I’ve ever

Monon Greenway connection complete

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Bicyclists and pedestrians now have a safer trip across 146th Street as the Monon Bridge is completed and open. development The Monon Bridge project is a partnership between Westfield, Hamilton County, Carmel/ Clay Board of Parks and Recreation and Clay Township. The Hamilton County Highway Dept. was the lead agency in designing and obtaining federal funding for the five-span, pre-engineered steel truss bridge to connect the Monon Greenway from Carmel to Westfield over and across 146th Street.

“The completion of the bridge not only provides a safe crossing across a very busy thoroughfare, but also builds on Westfield’s goal of creating trail connectivity throughout the city and Hamilton County. The bridge is a great example of local government entities partnering together to provide a valuable resource for residents,” Mayor Andy Cook said of the opening.

Cook said the bridge structure spans nearly 800 feet with a 12-foot-wide path to provide

safe crossing for users and will include heating elements.

According to the agreement, the county will be responsible for all structural maintenance of the bridge. The Clay Township trustee and/or the park board will be responsible for paying the electric charges necessary to heat the bridge, maintaining the heating system and periodic removal of snow, trash and other debris from the bridge.

Officials said it cost $3.37 million to complete

the project. Cook said the bridge was a Federal Aid project utilizing Indianapolis Metropolitan Plannign Organization funds to cover approximately 80 percent of the utility relocation, construction and construction inspection costs. The remaining 20 percent and all of the design costs were locally funded.

Construction on the project began in August 2012 but weather delayed the earlier completion of the project.

Three Westfield seniors prepare to say goodbye to their high school careers

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Because Westfield High School has removed its class rank system, the valedictorian and salutatorian no longer are guaranteed a spot behind the podium during commencement. If students want to

Lauren Huser

Westfield High School senior Lauren Huser turned to Pixar for inspiration for her final words to the Class of 2013.

“I was watching ‘Finding Nemo’ when I wrote it,” she said.

“Most have seen the movie. I didn’t want to do a typical graduation speech. I want to do something different.”

Like Nemo, seniors can empathize with wanting freedom, leaving their parents and having good friends there to help you out of trouble.

“It’s lighthearted, remembering and thankful for what our school has done for us,” Huser said of her speech. “I tried to add some funny moments and hope I get some polite laughter. I try to convey gratitude in mine.”

Huser was encouraged to audition by her mother but drew from her experiences at Hoosier Girls State.

“I tried out for governor and had to give a speech in front of 600 girls. If I did it then, I thought I’d give it a shot now,” she said.

Before hearing the announcement that she would be a speaker, Huser believed she already knew her fate.

“I thought they got it wrong. I had already gone through the morning process. I got a lot of texts because I didn’t tell a lot of people I was a finalist,” she said. “It (the announcement) made it more real. Now I’m even more nervous. I know I could say something my classmates might like to hear.”

Huser is involved in the WHS executive committee, student government, played volleyball all four years, Relay for Life, Thursday Night Live and is a member of Helping Hands, the Principal’s Advisory Committee and National Honor Society. Her favorite memory came her junior year when the Shamrocks made the final four in volleyball and beat Carmel at sectionals.

“It wasn’t the sectional championship, but it felt like it,” she said.

• Age: 18 • Birthplace: Indianapolis • Family: Parents, Jay and Angie; sister, Abigail; and brother, Sam • Hobbies: Playing volleyball, hanging out with friends, shopping, watching movies, reading and attending siblings’ sporting events.

• College plans: Majoring in nursing at Bellarmin University in Louisville.

• Future goals: “I want to travel and be a pediatric nurse practitioner.”

address their graduating peers, they must now earn the right. Rough-draft speeches are submitted and then a couple are chosen to be read by the students before a select number are picked as speakers. Those speaking at Saturday’s WHS graduation are seniors Lauren Huser, Tolu Odimayomi and Steven Johnson.

Tolu Odimayomi

Steven Johnson

Tolu Odimayomi was in choir class when a school-wide announcement of graduation speakers came across the intercom and she learned she was selected.

“My classmates were screaming and hugging me. I was pretty excited,” she said. “Now we have more to worry about than just tripping.”

That announcement also allows Odimayomi to follow in her sister’s footsteps. In 2011, Toke Odimayomi spoke at her WHS graduation.

“It inspired me to do it,” Tolu said.

Odimayomi said her sister did not help her write her speech but provided one tip – don’t single anyone out.

“She said to make it something that encompasses everybody in the class,” Odimayomi said. “I’m going to try and keep it lighthearted. It’s memories of everything we have experienced together and childhood games,” Odimayomi served on student government, student impact, the executive committee and Principal’s Advisory Committee and is a member of the National Honor Society.

She also participated in all school plays and musicals all four years.

Odimayomi said her favorite high school memory came while being involved in theater.

“Rehearsals run late a lot of times, and while I was waiting for my ride I began walking the halls. I came to the realization that it’s not just my school, but that of those that who have come before and future students. It was the big picture of what WHS did for me,” she said.

Unlike Huser and Odimayomi, Steven Johnson knew he was going to speak at commencement as senior class president.

“I was planning on doing it regardless,” he said of auditioning. “I like writing, collecting thoughts and public speaking.”

Johnson joked that the advice he’s received about his speech is brevity. He said his speech is a “general philosophical statement of what is ahead of us.”

“It’s been in the front of my mind – to go with laughter or crying – either one is a good response,” he said. “I hope it’s not too sappy or preachy or sentimental.”

Johnson is on the executive council of Amnesty International, was an editorial cartoonist for the high school newspaper, involved with Relay for Life and the theater, and is a member of DECA, student government and National Honor Society.

In March, Johnson made his first return to the stage since he was a middle school student as Horace Vandergelder – the male lead in the school’s version of “Hello, Dolly!”

“I did theater – never musicals – at Grace Community Church,” he said. “I knew I wanted to do one show before I left (high school). It’s my first time ever singing in front of people and dancing. It’s a challenge but a pretty fun one.”

Despite the challenge of “getting back into the groove” of being onstage, Johnson said the show was one memory he will always remember from high school. “‘Hello, Dolly!’ was such a different experience. It had been such a long time since I’d done acting,” he said.

• Age: 18 • Birthplace: Ibadan, Nigeria • Family: Mother, Temi; and sister, Toke • Hobbies: Being active in her church with acting or Vacation Bible School, service activities and is a self taught hip hop dancer.

• College plans: Majoring in chemical engineering at Purdue University • Future goals: “Finding a nice job where I feel like it is something I make a difference in.”

• Age: 18 • Birthplace: Westfield • Family: Parents, Jerry and Denise; and brother, Phil • Hobbies: Enjoys a lot of arts, playing piano and soccer, hanging out with friends, reading, writing and watching movies.

• College plans: Attending Indiana University and majoring in English • Future goals: Possibly attend law school because it “seems to fit my personality,” but has a huge array of interests.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Tough call, but market had to go

Blazing new trails It is our position that Conner Prairie Interactive History Park is blazing new trails with its focus on the customer.

The Fishers living-history museum is now featured as one of six “magnetic” museums in the new book, “Magnetic: The Art and Science of Engagement,” published May 2013 by AAM Press. The book highlights six institutions that the authors say have the “secret sauce” to drive their success as high-performing American museums.

Based on three years of research, the book, by authors Anne Bergeron and Beth Tuttle, concludes that Conner Prairie, along with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, Pa.; the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Va.; The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pa.; the Greensboro Science Center in Greensboro, N.C., and the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Okla., attract the human, social and financial capital necessary to thrive rather than just survive.

Conner Prairie and the other five museums were identified by the authors through an analysis of quantitative performance metrics of a decade’s worth of data (2000 to 2010) from hundreds of U.S. institutions. The study found that these museums have become much more than simply keepers of cultural heritage or places of learning; they have also become vital players in the social, civic and economic vibrancy of their communities.

Must be present to win Commentary by Terry Anker Woody Allen is credited with saying that 90 percent of success is showing up. While one could argue the percentage, it is impossible to dispute that we must, in most of life, be present to win. Speaking on youth unemployment matters at a university in Eastern Europe, I found myself on the final panel of what had proven to be a long day of speakers. The room, once filled to capacity, was now spotted with open seats. And, even many of those that were filled found occupants texting, dozing or otherwise disengaged from the presentations flowing from a long line of pontificating academics and blowhard businessmen.

Certainly, we can criticize the lack of attention and take note of the irony of failing to understand that that being an active participant in one’s own job seeking is required if one hopes to achieve the desired outcome. It is not sufficient to show up at an interview. It is not enough to create a robust resume. It is not even adequate

to know one’s own strengths and weaknesses – and understand how to express them. One must be able to do these all actively and with intent. In fact today, just showing up is not enough.

But shouldn’t we also expect our speakers to engage with the audience in a way that is designed to capture attention and ensure a properly prepared and fertile mind in which to plant the ideas being communicated? While not advocating for some reality television style shock-fest, how could a little razzle dazzle hurt? Isn’t it a conceit to require the listener alone to carry the burden of successful communication? Both the person sending the idea and the person receiving it have to show up. And, they have to want to make the connection.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK When ambition ends, happiness begins.

- Thomas Merton

We agree with the Downtown Westfield Association’s recent decision to cancel this season’s Westfield Farmers Market. It couldn’t have been an easy call to make – and we believe you know we’re huge fans of the market – but it was the correct call. Here’s why: All the U.S. 31 construction, to speak nothing of adjacent road closures as a result of that Major Moves project, would have had a direct and continuing impact on Westfield’s market.

Too, there is construction, some of it altering vehicular traffic elsewhere in the city, and that would have made accessing the market site near City Hall a laborious process on some days. This is the price we pay for our city evolving in a big way, and it’s a small one. We feel for the vendors, but we also believe that once the market comes back it will be “bigger and better than ever.”

••• You may not know this name, but soon enough you will. Michelle Krcmery has been hired as Grand Park’s marketing manager from the City Center project in Carmel, where she was the marketing director. She is skilled and community centric – and just what the park needs for marketing partnerships.

••• Your edition of Current will be different next week. We moved to a different print vendor in April, and among the changes we presented were a more economical use of newsprint (and, therefore, trees) and a stapling of the paper’s spine. For a variety of reasons – all with you at the center - we are making another move. The only change you’ll notice is the absence of the staples. We’re confident in the move we made in April, but we found a way to improve on that, and so that’s what we’re going to do. We appreciate your patience and hope you’ll enjoy the paper.

Watch out Africa, here I come Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I’m starting to panic, people. On the day many of you read this, I will be headed to North Africa or possibly already there. humor As I type though, I still have two weeks before Doo and I leave our kids, semi-trained dog, and slightly neglected house for 15 days of desert adventure and exotic-food fun. Yikes! In the words of Willy Wonka, “So much time, so little to do! Strike that. Reverse it.”

For starters, we’re considering updating our will, which has remained untouched since 1999 when we abandoned our firstborn for fruity cocktails and Bahamian sun. As his guardian, we appointed the only sibling we had out of nine who was married at the time, and left the rest to the lawyer. Since then, we’ve added three more offspring, and the aforementioned sibling now has seven children of his own. What are the odds he’d like four more? Exactly. Problem is, it’s doubtful anyone else would be willing to take them on, either, should we perish in a fiery explosion or airline disaster. So, we’re leaving things status quo. Uncle Todd already has a 12-passenger conversion van; let’s max that baby out!

Next on my list is to organize a first aid/field medicine kit. Doo and I received our requisite inoculations for tetanus, hepatitis and typhoid (because, according to our doctor, “The world is covered in a layer of poo; it’s just thicker in

some areas.”) but I still need to round up pills for everything from constipation and diarrhea to vomiting and indigestion (both ends of the spectrum so to speak!). Non-Spongebob bandaids and military-grade insect repellant would be good, and I should probably take Benadryl, Sudafed and Robitussin to cover the cold I’ll catch on the plane. Bring it on, malaria!

Finally, I need to sort out the house and the kids’ schedules for the two sets of grandparents who graciously agreed to babysit. Unfortunately, Doo and I are the type of people who throw parties just so the dusting and scrubbing gets done, which is to say our home is generally in a state of sanitary neglect. But, my parents will actually be staying here, so at some point, I need to bathe everything, children included, in Clorox.

Once that’s taken care of, and the fridge and pantry are stocked for the apocalypse, then all I have to do is organize carpool for soccer, dance, tumbling, swimming and summer-school PE; post the dog and cat-care schedules in 15 convenient locations; pre-coordinate playdates and birthday parties; and, oh yeah, pack.

Farewell, dear readers! Until I write again, bid me serenity. Peace out.

An app to go bump in the night Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

According to the Associated Press, the biggest issue men have when hooking up with women in Iceland is not that the ladies are humor frigid. The men can be a little frosty themselves – but temperature is relativea. The problem is that the person they meet at the Moose Antler Pub could be a relative.

Here’s why: Iceland is the home of only about 320,000 people with a lineage that has been documented during the past 1,000 years. Generally, people don’t move away from Iceland. And not a lot of people summer in Iceland, largely because summer lasts about four hours. As a result, swinging singles often end up together not realizing that some of their ancestors were once swinging from the same family tree. Most Icelanders hail from a group of ninth-century Viking settlers whose descendants are still on the island, except those who went to Hollywood to make Capital One commercials.

Recently, software engineers produced a smart phone that features a “bump” function.

Potential lovers tap phones together to see how closely they are related. If it’s too close a match, an “incest alarm” will sound. In Iceland there are only two hours of darkness each day from May through August, so if you enjoy things that go bump in the night, there are times you haven’t got much time to finish your drink.

So far the incest app is drawing rave reviews,

Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law

with a 4.5 out of 5 rating on the Google Play store.

This puts it a little behind the video game Grand Theft Auto, although stealing a car and kissing your cousin both carry similar jail terms. One user who commented on the creator’s website regretted that it wasn’t released a little earlier: “If I had this app last year,” he wrote, “I probably wouldn’t have gone home with a relative.” The operative word is “probably,” because pickins for eligible women are slim in Reykjavik and my guess is that if this gal shared a love of ice fishing and miniature golf, well the heck with her DNA. Creators of the website have been unhappy with the publicity. They claim that the main intention of the application is to give data about the rich genealogical history of the country and also to provide information to customers about relatives’ birthdays and anniversaries. But news of an application alerting you that it is Uncle Olafur’s 50th just doesn’t have the same chance of going viral as one that tells you who to shack up with.

The manufacturer notes that the application is not for iPhones; it’s only for Androids. I’m no expert on human sexuality, but if you’re an android, it’s probably safe to go home with anybody you want.

Fishers-based electronica band gaining ground

By Dan Domsic • Dan@youarecurrent.com

The Sweetest Condition, a Fishers-based electronica band, debuted its EP, “Truth & Light,” on April 30. Current caught up with Leslie Irene Benson, vocals and lyrics, and Jason music Reed Milner, keys and guitar, for an update on the local act’s progress and to talk about the EP. As of May 28, The Sweetest Condition sat at the No. 1 spot on Reverbnation.com’s Local (Indianapolis) Electronica Genre charts, No. 39 on the U.S. Electronica charts and No. 99 on the global charts in the same category. Before forming The Sweetest Condition, Benson and Milner formed the band Irene and Reed. You can find the EP on iTunes, Amazon.com, CD Baby and Google Play. Check the tunes out on www.thesweetestcondition.com.

Current: Jason says the aim of the band and EP is to bring guts back to music.

Which track off of “Truth and Light” best exemplifies that mantra?

Jason Reed Milner: “With ‘You Don’t Know Me,’ I wanted to bring back that feeling I first got when I listened to albums like ‘Pretty Hate Machine’ by Nine Inch Nails – that raw nerve and aggression, without holding anything back.

The electronic/industrial sounds are abrasive, yet complex, incorporating an overwhelming fullness utilizing a synthesized orchestral tone.

I introduced an overdriven guitar sound to the song to give it ‘meat’ – an edge you don’t often hear these days. I wish the radio was like it was back in the early 1990s, when you’d listen to it to discover new music. Now the radio is the last place you’ll find new music.”

Current: The Sweetest Condition climbed the charts on ReverbNation.com. What has the experience been like?

Jason Reed Milner: “What really matters to me more than anything rather than numbers on a website – (the true measurement of the impact of music) – is how many people go away excited to see you perform again and how it makes them feel. Seeing people get involved, get engaged with our music, and having them tell us directly how it makes them feel means more to us than anything else.”

Leslie Irene Benson: “We’re cutting through the ‘noise’ and getting in front of more people.

The music allows us to connect with our fans on a personal level as artists and human beings.”

Current: Has it been challenging to break through on the local level?

Leslie Irene Benson: “The scene in Indy has been growing in recent years, and there is amazing music being created and performed here every day. The local scene has been very supportive in getting the word out, especially online via social media.”

Current: Is The Sweetest Condition still working away at the full-length album “Struggle, Strength, Reclamation?”

Leslie Irene Benson: “After our last interview with you, we played our first show at the White Rabbit and had a break-through. We realized as much as we wanted to merge what had been our first music project, Irene & Reed (dark-tinged Americana/indie rock) with this new project we were calling The Sweetest Condition, it had become its own entity. The electronic music we were writing as The Sweetest Condition felt more intense, more driven, and more necessary. As much as people grow and change, so do bands. So we split The Sweetest Condition and Irene & Reed into two separate music projects, giving us the opportunity to focus solely on this new sound.

We decided to temporarily shelve ‘Struggle, Strength, Reclamation,’ which we will release at a later date as Irene & Reed, and we instead wrote 15 new songs as The Sweetest Condition. Our ‘Truth and Light’ EP features five of these new tracks, all available on iTunes, Amazon.com, CD Baby, and other digital music stores. Where ‘Truth and Light’ is inspired by a dark ‘80s electronic soundscape, our upcoming full-length album, which we are currently fine-tuning, will be infused with synthpop and EDM (electronic dance music).”

Current: “Truth and Light” features the track “The Ghost & the Girl,” based on a poem about the loss of a friend. Was expressing your thoughts through music therapeutic?

Leslie Irene Benson: “Shortly after we started The Sweetest Condition, I lost a very dear friend. From a lyrical standpoint, writing ‘Truth

and Light’ through the grieving process gave me a new voice and a new chance. I am more willing now than ever to fight for my dreams, my friends and my family.”

Current: The EP is pretty heavy. Does it take a different kind of mindset to write this type of music?

Jason Reed Milner: “There’s a lot of audio sculpting involved. Each sound must be created from scratch. The songs are orchestral compositions in their own right. They’re audible representations of emotions. ... I started off writing electronic music, so the process comes naturally.”

Current: If each of you could pick one favorite track off of the EP, what would your picks be and why?

Jason Reed Milner: “’The Wound’ builds with emotion into a holy deliverance. It’s a mix of organic and digital sounding synths.”

Leslie Irene Benson: “I’ve been told by fans that ‘The Wound’ is the song they play on ‘repeat.’ It’s a little sinister, a little seductive. When I wrote the vocal melody, I channeled David Gahan. The song has a cinematic undertone.”

Current: Of your muses, which is the most evident on “Truth and Light?”

Leslie Irene Benson: “Our muses for ‘Truth and Light’ were the songwriters David Gahan, Martin Gore, and Trent Reznor. ... Our upcoming full-length album, which we’re working on now, lends itself to other inspirations, including The Birthday Massacre, Shiny Toy Guns, and Ladytron.”

Current: What’s next for The Sweetest Condition?

Jason Reed Milner: “We’re finishing our fulllength album and gearing up for our first tour.”

The weekend begins with the June 7 performance of “Going, Going, Gone” at the Nickel Plate Arts Campus, 107 S. Eighth St., Noblesville. This improvised play written by Lou Harry and John Thomas of Indianapolis relies on audience participation to bid on a strange collection of auction items with fake money that’s distributed at the door.

June 9’s screening of “Ingénue,” a new film by award-winning local filmmaker Kate Chaplin of Karmic Courage in Noblesville includes red carpet arrivals at 7 p.m., the premiere of a music video, the feature film itself and a Q&A with cast and crew. The film will be shown at 8 p.m.

in the Abbey Professional Building, 269 W. Jackson St., Cicero.

Art classes will be held June 8 and 9 at the Nickel Plate Arts Campus in Noblesville including Recycled Art Class, Make & Take-Portraits With a Partner, Greeting Cards and an Herbal Tea Tasting with a Master Naturalist. All of this is happening as students in Fishers are painting the city’s snowplows to give them a lively new look.

On June 9, a Make-do-Style Cardboard Class in Cicero encourages kids to turn cardboard into whatever kind of fort, puppet, car, robot or contraption they can imagine.

Other highlights include tours by train led by the Indiana Transportation, The Hamilton County Artists’ Association’s 5th Annual Plein Air Painting Celebration, and the Painted Rain Barrel Auction at the Cicero Farmer’s Market.

Do facial implants affect aging?

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: I have a few questions regarding facial implants. I did not see this addressed on your blog so thought I aesthetics would ask. My question is regarding the known/ suspected long term effects of having facial implants if any. While I understand that for instance solid silicone implants such as the jaw/ chin implants will last a lifetime, what does the aging process hold for those that have such implants? Does placing an implant under the largest muscle (of the jaw) have drawbacks as I age. Will jowls/ sagging skin etc show up faster since the muscle is now stretched over this new jaw? Or will aging and its various processes

dipatches Just gross – Research at the University of Texas Medical Branch revealed some nasty things about the toothbrush. While conducting research to see whether the germs that cause strep throat thrived on brushes after kids have the illness, researchers tested two brand-new brushes. They found that those brushes had germs growing on them.

Only one of the test brushes from the kids exhibited strep germs – and that child didn’t even have the illness. – vitals.nbcnews.com

just march on as if I never had anything done and just as if I was born with this new wider jaw and more pronounced chin?

A: Facial implants of any location have no negative impact on facial aging and may actually have the reverse effect. As implants add volume to the outside of the bone, they may prevent some tissue sag, or delay it, that will inevitably occur with aging. Cheek implants, for example, are used to treat sagging cheeks in older patients so it is reasonable to assume that they might have a preventative effect as well.

Carry enough liability insurance Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Amelia P. from Fishers: I saw someone take a spill at my daughter’s graduation party last weekend.

Insurance They were OK, but it got me worried about what I would be on the hook for if they were seriously injured.

What’s the best approach to protect my family from this issue?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Thanks for your note Amelia. What you are asking about is a liability issue. If someone is injured on your property, you would be liable. Best case scenario is a minor injury that is easily remedied. The worst case scenario is a death or major injury that requires specialized care for the rest of that person’s life. You would be liable for the cost regardless of which scenario you end up with.

Luckily for most, a homeowner’s (or renter’s) insurance policy provides liability coverage to protect you from scenarios just like the above.

Is the amount of coverage that is automatically included in your policy enough, though? That is a question that I highly recommend posing to your independent insurance agent, but my approach is that it is not.

We like to look at the coverage options available as adequate, good, and best. “adequate” coverage is what you automatically get with any policy. The department of insurance has your back and won’t let sneaky agents drop cover-

ages like this to manipulate the total cost of the policy. This means, at worst, you have adequate coverage when you buy a homeowner’s or renter’s policy. People stick with adequate coverage because they’re not afraid of the added risk, they don’t know about the added risk, or protecting their assets from that added risk is not worth the small added cost of increased liability limits.

The “good” coverage is the baseline of what I would recommend to any person I speak to. You get increased liability protection and pay a small increase to the price of the policy. However, a $1,000,000 liability claim is painful with low limits and can still hurt with $500,000 to $750,000 liability limits. That’s why I always inform people about the “best” coverage option.

The “best” coverage option is liability from your homeowner’s policy covering the first $500,000 (varies depending on the carrier) of a loss and an umbrella policy stepping in to cover the remaining $500,000. You can get an umbrella policy in pretty much any amount you can imagine, but $1,000,000 is a great place to start. It also costs much less than you might imagine. I highly recommend discussing this further with your independent insurance agent.

AUSTISM CLINIC OF INDIANA New hope for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD

Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans Accepted Genetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing “While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments.

Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having difficulty making friends?

• IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions?

• FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home?

• HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep?

• ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions?

If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.

21

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing.

Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.”

St.Vincent Sports Performance moving

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com Clay Terrace will soon have a new tenant – St.Vincent Sports Performance will make the move to the Hamilton coming soon County retail center by summer’s end.

It’s a move that made sense to the organization.

“With our growth and the diversity of our program and offerings – and also with the advent of the number of high schools we provide athletic training services to – as well as the work we do with St.Vincent Carmel and Fishers’ Hospitals, we were looking for a Hamilton County location,” said Ralph Reiff, SVSP executive director. “Clay Terrace became an option and worked out to be something we felt would be a good fit for us.”

SVSP will maintain its primary facility on West 86th Street while closing its East Side sports performance office and West Carmel Drive physician’s practice, and merging the two into the 26,000-square-foot Clay Terrace location. The new office, to be located in the space formerly occupied by Circuit City, will be home to 10 staff members, including two doctors.

Reiff believes the high visibility and easy accessibility of the new office will be beneficial.

“We get a lot of customers from north of Hamilton County, so this gives us access into Boone

“Our mission includes recognizing opportunities to support the performing arts in our community.”

County and out to the Geist area so it is the center of the universe really for us as far as providing services,” Reiff said. “And, we can’t discount our partner schools such as Carmel Clay Schools, Zionsville, Sheridan, etc. – our services will now be closer to them.”

There was never any hesitation about a move to a retail center.

“Not for a minute. We are really a retail business within a hospital model. You can walk in without any sort of referral or prescription,” he said. “We think as people park their cars and go to other various stores, we will fit right into that.

We find right now that our clientele will spend time at Traders Point Mall and drive back and forth from our facility. Now, they can park the car and walk and do their shopping, which we think will be an attractive setting for our clientele” The new facility will continue to offer all the current services.

“It will be a different configuration of space to allow us to basically make it more efficient for our associates so we can provide services in a more efficient manner,” Reiff said. “There won’t be anything brand new or cutting-edge that we don’t already have – just a ‘smarter’ space.”

Reiff estimates the move won’t take place until Labor Day. The Lawrence Township and West Carmel Drive locations will remain open until the new space is ready.

Chance keeps you in the game Commentary by David Cain

It comes to the final play, the ending. While it’s that play that often draws the most criticism from amateur coaches on success everywhere, it’s usually not the final play that decided the game’s outcome. Whether you win or lose is less about the last minutes than it is the whole game and the entire game plan. Close games that are won or lost by tiny margins clearly had a game plan that worked. Outcomes of a game are more reliant on a series of choices and cumulative performance.

If you lost or won by a little bit, you were in the game and had a chance to win. And, you can’t win them all. You will lose sometimes. It’s what you do after the loss that matters most, how you rally.

Even if your work happens at an office and not on a court or field, you’ll be confronted with the same reality. You will lose sometimes. It’s statistically impossible to win all the time. What do you do when you lose? How do you regroup, rally and Buffett buffet – What are some solid long-term stock choices favored by mega-invester Warren Buffett? Try Nike, Inc.; Burlington dispatches Northern Santa Fe Corp.; ConocoPhillips; Costco; Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble. – www.investopedia.com

refine for the next attempt? Winners get excited about the next opportunity and view it as a new opportunity; a chance to win is far better than the sour taste of not being in the game.

Well, businesses have four quarters, too. Each quarter is 131,400 minutes long and after four quarters, your score is entered in the record books or, more likely, your bank’s books. Every period you have a chance to win or lose and the end result of each quarter won’t be because of what happens in the final minute. Instead, it will be the result of the decisions you made well before the game started. It will be grounded in your practice, your preparation, your performance and your passion. The surest of game plans and preparation can only give you a chance to win it and that chance, the chance to execute perfectly, is what keeps a competitor in the game.

Wadi Qelt (or Kelt) is a narrow gorge cutting through the Judean Wilderness, a rugged mountainous area in the West Bank east travel of Jerusalem. A blue-domed monastery improbably clinging to its steep northern face marks Wadi Qelt as a special place, not only the setting for one of Jesus’ best known parables but also the likely inspiration for the Bible’s best loved Psalm.

For thousands of years, travelers between Jerusalem and Jericho have followed the 17-mile long path through Wadi Qelt, facing danger from falling, wild animals and thieves hiding in its many caves. By the time of Jesus, the Romans had built a road through Wadi Qelt that became the setting for the only parable of Jesus tied to a specific geographic location. The traveler rescued by the Good Samaritan had been beaten by thieves and left to die by passing countrymen along this dangerous road to Jericho.

Shepherds can still be seen above Wadi Qelt, leading their sheep and goats along paths worn into the hillside by countless earlier shepherds.

The shepherds still guide their flocks along these

paths with their rods and still lead them to the calm, spring-fed waters of the wilderness. When sitting above Wadi Qelt, it is impossible not to imagine that the writer of the 23rd Psalm was sitting in the same spot when he wrote about his Lord, the shepherd, protecting and comforting his animals as they walked through the “valley of the shadow of death.” Whether this really happened will never be known, but it is easy to see the comforting words of that famous Psalm as an effort by their writer, traditionally thought to have been David, to connect his image of God with the real experiences of his people.

A trip to Israel includes many opportunities for connecting the events in the Bible with the locations where they happened. But few travel experiences compare with sitting above Wadi Qelt and contemplating the hundreds of generations that have experienced both its dangers and the words of hope and compassion it may have inspired.

A couple of thoughts on ‘couple of’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, There is a relatively new trend among younger writers and, as a former high school grammar guy English teacher, it’s driving me crazy. Popular construction: ‘I’ll be with you in a couple minutes.’

Traditional construction: ‘I’ll be with you in a couple OF minutes.’ I know which one I think is correct, but perhaps you can address this is in your column in Current.” (Pamela Jackson, Carmel) Answer: Thanks for writing in, Pamela. I think I can spare a couple of minutes to talk about the subject.

The word “couple,” as we use it in everyday speech, is a noun with a very specific meaning: “two persons married, engaged or otherwise romantically paired,” or simply “two persons paired together.” It has a different meaning in physics and chemistry, but those uses aren’t relevant to our discussion now.

When we use the phrase “a couple of,” we’re getting into idiomatic territory. “A couple of” serves as an adjective phrase modifying whatever noun comes after the preposition: a couple of dogs, a couple of trees, a couple of dollars, etc. In this sense, the phrase “a couple” does not necessarily indicate two people who are paired together, but rather a small but indeterminate number

of people or things which are grouped or loosely bound together. In the phrase above – “I’ll be with you in a couple of minutes” – the speaker is obviously not referring to two minutes which are romantically involved. It’s understood that the speaker isn’t even referring to two minutes, but likely a short period of time required to finish whatever task he or she is currently engaged in; a “few” minutes, more or less. This is an idiom.

As native English speakers, we understand the meaning of the phrase intuitively, even though a literal translation for a non-native speaker likely wouldn’t make much sense.

It’s difficult to say that idiomatic expressions have hard and fast rules for them, since by definition they are colloquial, non-standard uses of words. However, since our idiom is changing “couple” from a noun to an adjective phrase, and changing the meaning, to boot, I think it’s fair to require the preposition “of” after “couple” to tip off the listener/reader that we aren’t using the word’s standard definition. Besides, “of” is only two letters. If you can’t spare even a couple of milliseconds to tack it on, well, that’s just lazy.

Local materials can become conversation pieces Commentary by Randy Sorrell

For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US

This bright micro-space reminds me of oldworld courtyards that you may have explored in southern historic downtowns outdoors like New Orleans and Savannah. Tight spaces have such an incredible opportunity to draw people in and provide a sense of romance or intrigue.

Before the early spring update, this landscape had grown tired and suffered from last winters’ heavy snow. The arborvitae failed miserably, and we were thrilled to replace them with an authentic boxwood hedge flanked by stately blue holly.

Fortunately, the multiple stem riverbirch remains healthy and produces fantastic shade in blazing August afternoons. The rich evergreen pachysandra groundcover (yes, this delicate beauty is evergreen) creates a lush green carpet under the birch and is a striking contrast to the fragrant, blue flowering catmint perennial.

Notice the Indiana snapped limestone bed edge snuggled in the foreground of the pachysandra? It behaves as a small seat wall and is a great resting place for candles, plates and drinks when entertaining. It’s a clever way to ease elevation changes and is a trusted conversation stimulant about using local materials and being environmentally friendly.

Without apologizing, the low slung, shocking green seating steals the show. Frankly, it’s not that comfortable, but the contemporary lines

The striking green contemporary seating instantly gives this patio personality. (Submitted photo)

dazzle the space and fits well. Strategy … a boring patio/tired deck can be instantly rescued with bold furniture, a colorful rug and a handful of accessories. Expect to spend more than you would prefer on stunning furniture, but it will be worth the investment and costs considerably less than a new patio.

den tour June 15 with a celebratory conclusion at the featured garden discussed above from 3 to 6 p.m. Hope to see you there.

Backsplash is an easy kitchen redo Commentary by David Decker

If you’re looking to upgrade the look of your kitchen, one high-impact place to start is installing a new backsplash design. A indoors new backsplash can instantly refresh the feel of your kitchen.

And, because it’s possible to switch out a backsplash without moving cabinetry or appliances, this upgrade makes a great weekend remodel project.

You’ll want to begin by first measuring the length and height of the wall space where you’re going to install your backsplash. These measurements will give you a baseline idea about what size of tile to shop for.

Once you’ve recorded the measurements, you can start looking for design inspirations. What kind of style are you trying to create in your kitchen? Not all backsplashes are made from tile, but it’s the route many homeowners choose to go. Keep the following elements in mind when you are shopping for tile: • Backsplash tiles come in a huge variety of sizes, so don’t let yourself be confined to the old 4-inch by 4-inch or 6-inch by 6-inch standard tile sizes of yesterday. Select larger tiles if you you’d like to make a space look bigger. Or if you’d like to generate an intricate, yet cohesive design, small mosaic tiles may be perfect for your kitchen.

• Keep in mind the color of your countertops as you are choosing a tile color. Complex and colorful backsplashes look best when paired with solid countertops, and vice versa.

• Backsplashes can be constructed from ceramic, stone, glass, metal, porcelain and more. Inventively mixing different materials is sure to attract visual attention. And don’t forget to pay close attention to textures.

• Changing the orientation of your tile can radically change the entire look of the backsplash. Try vertical or diagonal patterns for a modern, innovative style.

After you’ve decided on a particular style or look for your tile, it’s time to think about the way you’d like to install it. Wrapping the backsplash around a wider perimeter of the room can make your kitchen more visually consistent, while tricking the eye into making the room look bigger. You may also want to create a focal point above the stove or around other cooking areas.

Switch up the color or pattern in this area for a bit of visual excitement. Or, say you’ve found a beautiful (but pricey) tile design. You could save money by using the expensive tiles only above the cooking area, while using more affordable tiles throughout the kitchen.

The best backsplash designs enhance your kitchen cabinetry and countertops, while acting as a visually exciting decorative component. Pay attention to the details and don’t be afraid to try something new.
