Helping Hand aids those in need

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com One man aims to make a difference in Westfield for those less fortunate.

Tim Hahn, of Westfield, is volunteer the president of Helping Hand of Hamilton Co. He’s been busy for the holidays, but he tries to help those who need it whether there is something to celebrate or not.

Helping Hand distributes food every Saturday except the first of the month starting at 10:30 a.m. at North Glen Village trailer park near Grand Park. Volunteers are broken into teams to help distribute the food, and the work is complete by noon.

“I could tell story after story of some pretty cool things that have happened that you don’t expect. when you do this kind of work, things happen as a result of it,” Hahn said.

The mission began in the 1990s when Hahn joined a Baptist minister from Chattanooga, Tenn. to help feed the poor in Indianapolis. In 2008, Hahn referred to himself as the “first missionary” and branched out to create Helping Hand of Hamilton Co. When his mission first began, he was in Eagletown and only five families showed for food collection. Now, after moving to Westfield, most Saturdays he gets 50 families.

Hahn said Hispanics are prevalent, but the language barrier does not cause much trouble.

“I have learned that smiles and hugs will get you by because that’s universal,” he said.

Tim Hahn works with a young girl to translate at one of the Helping Hand events. (Submitted photo)

Hahn and his team of volunteers gave out Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. However, food is not his only focus. When back to school time rolls around, Hahn gives out backpacks to kids who need them. In October, Helping Hand of Hamilton Co. gave out 150 coats. People in need also approach him on their own time.

“People will talk to me if they’re having trouble with utility bills, especially heat which is a big item in the winter time,” Hahn said.

Some grocery stores, such as Kroger and Fresh Market, assist Hahn with his food supply, so he generally doesn’t need food donations from the public. One thing he won’t ever turn down is volunteers.

To volunteer, email Hahn at timlinda1968@ comcast.net, or call him at 714-5582

INDOT 2015 investments exceed $1 billion news@currentinwestfield.com The Indiana Dept. of Transportation announced Jan. 4, that the agency’s 2015 construction season resulted in an investroads ment of more than $1 billion into state and local road, bridge, trail and traffic safety projects.

In addition to INDOT’s construction, the state allocated more than $220 million to Indiana cities, towns and counties in 2015 to support local transportation projects.

“I want to thank the INDOT team for their ded-

ication to modernizing and maintaining Indiana’s transportation network,” Governor Mike Pence said. “In 2015, we took significant steps forward in enhancing our highway system with the opening of a new section of I-69 in southwest Indiana and the opening of the U.S. 31 freeway in Hamilton County, among other projects. At the same time, we continued to invest in preserving bridges and improving pavement conditions all across the state.

“In 2016, my administration is committed to securing additional funding for both state and local roads and bridges, ensuring that Indiana

remains the crossroads of America,” he added.

Among the state’s major projects completed in 2015, the new U.S. 31 freeway in Hamilton Co. eliminated 13 stoplights in Carmel and Westfield and, combined with completed U.S. 31 projects in Kokomo and northern Indiana, has reduced travel time between Indianapolis and South Bend by 30 minutes.

In total, Indiana opened 180 miles of new road to traffic in 2015 while 1,720 miles of existing pavement and 459 bridges received rehabilitations.

APC holds two public hearings

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

The first Advisory Plan Commission meeting

of the year, on Jan. 4, held two public hearings. The secondary APC meeting will be 7 p.m.

Jan. 19 at city hall, 130 Penn St.

What happened: The commission approved the construction of a Hampton Inn hotel.

What it means: On the southwest corner of Wheeler and Westfield Park Roads, a Hampton Inn will be constructed on 2.66 acres.

What happened: The board forwarded the construction of detached townhome units in Bridgewater on the northwest corner of Gray Road and Guerin Way onto the Westfield City Council with a favorable recommendation.

What it means: The petitioner met with the neighborhood and addressed the concerns of the public hearing Dec. 7. The amount of townhomes was decreased, from 41 to 36, to make room for additional parking spaces and a landscape buffer.

What happened: A public hearing was held for petitioner StorAmerica to construct Building H as two stories instead of one story on 4420 E. 146th St. What it means: The request asked for two levels of self-storage units to be constructed with an elevator in the position where a single story was supposed to be built. No comments were made at the public hearing.

What happened: The APC held a public hearing on The Trails, two commercial lots to be constructed east of Oak Ridge Road and south of Ind. 32.

What it means: Sharon Williams, a resident near the proposal, spoke at the public hearing and asked the commission to make a “decent decision” so she wouldn’t be flooded. No other action was taken.

Arts Alliance to hold poetry event

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In an effort to bring the arts to prominence in Westfield, the Downtown Westfield Association’s extension, the Westdowntown field Arts Alliance, will hold a poetry reading Feb. 11 in the upstairs portion of Rail Epicurean Market at 211 Park St. DWA Executive Director Teresa Otis Skelton said although people who attend are not required to participate, she hopes for plenty of readers. Poetry can be original or read from others’ works.

Skelton referred to the DWA as an umbrella to the Grand Junction Task Group and the Westfield Arts Alliance. The poetry readings are one of many events to try and unite artists around Westfield and promote talent.

“We want to bring more arts to downtown, and I think you can do that in a small or large way. We want to have some public and private art displays,” Skelton said. “That’s where this whole poetry reading evolved.

This is being geared towards adults, and we want people to be respectful, but I want them to express themselves. I want them to feel comfortable bringing handheld instruments or using minimal props if they need to.”

The event will begin at 7 p.m. and last until

The poetry readings will be held at Rail Epicurean Market, which has hosted events for the DWA in the past. (Submitted photo)

9 p.m. The DWA will provide coffee, tea and appetizers, and a cash bar is available.

The event will hold a coffeehouse feel, and Skelton said it’s casual. Only 25 seats are available, and reservations are required by Jan. 31 by contacting Skelton at Teresa.otis. skelton@gmail.com or calling 508-3392.

Ages 21 and older are invited to reserve a spot for no cost.

Local poets will present and also have their works for sale.

Lions Club to hold open house

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Lions Club will host an informational meeting Jan. 16 in hopes of attracting more men and women recruitment to join the organization.

A PowerPoint slideshow will go over some aspects of the club, and members will be present to answer questions.

“Our club gives members an opportunity to advance worthy causes, serve with friends and become leaders in the community. This club means a lot to our Lions, but it means so much more to the people we serve,” Club Secretary Jeff Larrison said.

Coffee and donuts will be served at the open house, and Larrison said anyone interested can attend.

“Hopefully they will get a well-rounded view of what we’re all about,” Larrison said.

“We want to see what folks are interested in, whether it’s fundraising or getting out and doing service work.”

Throughout the years, the club has donated funds for local, national and international disaster relief, provided free eye exams and glasses for Westfield school students helped fund leader dog training, donated pairs of used eye glasses and provided financial donations to the Westfield Heart & Soul Clinic, Open Doors Food Pantry, Meals on Wheels and

The open house will be from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Lions Club, 120 Jersey St. “We want to share the great things we’re doing in the community and let others know how they can help,” Larrison said.

Between active and at-large members, the club has 52 members. Last year, seven new members joined the ranks. Although Larrison said the club doesn’t have a specific goal, it is always hoping to increase its numbers.

Meet your leaders: Matthew S. Skelton As the Hamilton Co. Leadership Academy approaches its 25th anniversary, Current is highlighting local leaders who have helped build and sustain the program, which focuses on strengthening our community by developing informed leaders. In June, another class of engaged citizens will join the 600-plus graduates already working to make a difference.

Matt Skelton, HCLA Class of 1998 Hometown: Indianapolis/Logansport Lives and works: Westfield Family: Wife, Teresa Career: Skelton was a town planner in Westfield before getting his law degree in 2004, and he returned to the now-city as director of economic and community development in 2009.

Nice to know: “I’m not a bad drummer, if I do say so myself.”

What impact has HCLA made in the community? “HCLA builds great relationships among its class members.”

Best connection made through the program — and why: “Ken Alexander. We were roomies at the leadership retreat in

1997. We’d never met before. He worked for a prominent local developer, and I worked for the then-Town of WestSkelton field. We became pretty good friends during the leadership academy experience. We kept in touch here and there over the years, but we often went for years without any communication. We reconnected a few years ago for lunch. Little did I know that the planets would align to bring him to the City of Westfield. Not long after that, Ken became the director of Public Works and then later he became the first director of the Grand Park Sports Campus. Westfield is lucky to have him, and I am honored to be working with him to make our little part of the world a better place. If we hadn’t connected in the Class of 1998, well, who knows?”

Kimberly and Randy Sorrell (Carmel) had the opportunity to meet Lead Singer Miz Elizabeth and Bandleader Evan “Bibs” Palazzo of The Hot Sardines after the rockin’ jazz concert on New Year’s Eve at the Palladium.

“Where’s Amy?” on New Year’s Eve? …

I was rocking out at the Palladium to live music from local band favorites The Bishops and Flatbread Twitch. Next, I was treated to the amazing Hot Sardines who came all the way from NYC to perform to a sold-out crowd at the Palladium’s first New Year’s Eve Extravaganza. Guests who attended dined on delicious hor d’oeuvres, including a fabulous fully loaded mashed potatoes bar, cocktails, champagne, dancing and karaoke. The Palladium staff did a wonderful job and made the night festive and magical. I loved catching up, mingling and chatting with Palladium patrons and supporters of the arts. The highlight of the evening was counting down and ringing in the 2016 New Year with The Hot Sardines live in concert. Bandleader Evan “Bibs” Palazzo and lead singer Miz Elizabeth combined with the Sardine ensemble of powerhouse musicians played the night away including hits from all eras. My favorites were songs from Indiana’s own Cole Porter and a mesmerizing rendition of George Gershwin’s “Summertime.” The fun didn’t end after the ball dropped at midnight. Guests devoured desserts and coffee with the opportunity to meet and take photos with Palazzo and Elizabeth.

The Hot Sardines vibrant performances bridge generations and captivate 21st century audiences all around the world.

Palazzo told me the band really took a “liking to Carmel, Indiana,” loved performing on stage at the Palladium and enjoyed meeting Mayor Brainard and President/ CEO Tania Castroverde Moskalenko. There will be no question about “Where’s Amy?” next year on New Year’s Eve because I will be at my most favorite place in the world - The Palladium. What a fantastic way to ring in the New Year! I left with an autographed CD, a smile on my face and a tiara. Yep, a little tiara party favor that will remind me of my new Palladium NYE tradition. If you missed out this year, see you in 2017. In the meantime, please continue to support and attend the many concerts and events the Center for the Performing Arts has to offer.

Meet your teacher: Beth Siminski Grade/Subject at what school: Elementary Art, K-4, Maple Glen Elementary Number of years teaching: 20 Background/Schooling (college & high school): Warren Central High School, Indianapolis; B.S. Elementary Education, Ball State University, Muncie; Endorsement in Art Education, Herron School of Art, Indianapolis; M.A. Curriculum and Assessment, Indiana Wesleyan University, Marion.

Why did you become a teacher? I have always been a “kid magnet.” I grew up as the neighborhood babysitter and played “school” with my young friends all the time. My favorite teacher, my sixth grade teacher, Jack McKinney, encouraged me to think about teaching.

Years later, I was fortunate enough to teach with him while he was a principal. I began my career as a classroom teacher but really struggled when I had a particularly difficult class. I also used art to enhance my lessons because my children developed a greater understanding of the course work. I felt most alive as an educator when I was teaching art!

I made the decision to continue my education in the field of art after reading What Color is Your Parachute. I have never looked back!

What goals do you have for your students? My students surprise me every year with the artwork they create. By demystifying the art processes, I explain my expectations to my students. I am never disappointed! I

believe children want to do their best. I want them all to appreciate the artwork they view in their future and make the artistic proSiminski cesses a part of their lives forever.

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? It is so important that parents give their children the opportunity to explore the artistic process. I continue to be surprised by the number of kindergarten children who have never used scissors, glue or paint before. A parent can learn so much about their child from their artwork or how they use their tools.

Name your favorite movie. I absolutely love the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

Name your favorite musician or band. I have always loved the music of James Taylor.

I’m of his generation. A current band I enjoy is Maroon 5. “The Voice” introduced me to Adam Levine.

What’s something your students might not know about you? Before Warren Central had its Performing Arts Center, it had a dynamic music and drama department. It is because of its art programs that the Performing Arts Center was built. I played the viola in the Warren Central Orchestra and at Ball State. I am also a thespian.

FRO M T HE B A C KSHOP So much for the big rally Things have been pretty darned good in our communities for most of us since the recession withered away. Still, we’ve believed all along that the market would “correct” itself in the not-too-distant future, although do not look to us for financial advice. Now comes the news that Richard Fisher, the former head of the Fed in Dallas, spilled his guts on CNBC recently. In a follow-up report by zerohedge. com, we learn market volatility and comments about China driving such wasn’t the case. “It is not China. … What The Fed did, and I was part of it, was front-load an enormous rally market rally in order to create a wealth effect ... and an uncomfortable digestive period is likely now.” Simply incredible.

••• We’ve waxed here more than once about how out of touch the youth/young adults of America are. While not ours, this observation of young liberal America seems right on point.

“America’s colleges have always been teeming with Marxist professors and 18-year-olds who don’t know how to do their own laundry, but do know how the world should be run, but they’ve now become havens for the world’s most easily offended people,” according to townhall.com. In 2015, they brought us new terms, including micro-aggression, cultural appropriation and safe spaces, among others.

Commentator Mark Steyn might have had the best response of all: “The shrill, little twerps shrieking, ‘You can’t say that!,’ are a far bigger problem than the stuff they object to.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Our fuzzles, our tinglers Commentary by Terry Anker Now, to paraphrase the great Dr. Seuss, that we’ve packed up “our presents, our ribbons, our wrappings, our snoof and our fuzzles, our tinglers and trappings,” we turn ourselves back to the more normal operations. During the dark, cold days of winter, the sparkle and good cheer help raise our spirits. In fact, the spirits help raise our spirits, too. Americans drink more alcoholic beverages from December through March – average blood alcohol content per person increases by nearly 50 percent. But we can take comfort that the long nights and lazy days have passed as the sun rises a bit earlier and stays a tad longer. Likewise, holiday vacations and year-end bonuses have come and most likely gone. We now look to the coming warmer weather to indicate the emergence of spring and a new season.

So for today we pass the time obsessed with political candidates and fleeting primary battles. The partisan parties triangulate and reposition with the emergence of rising

and falling poll numbers. The contenders work furiously in a clumsy ballet of words and half-truths to distinguish themselves from each other and from their expected opponents would they advance to the general election in November.

If framed as mutual warriors working to improve the lives of we many Americans, they are friends. If framed as political antagonists (or worse) of the various idiots and scallywags deemed to be scraping for national attention, then, they are enemies.

Are we served better by a process of conflict or one of cooperation? Is our nation better attended by a high contrast of ideas or explicit attempts at reconciliation? Maybe the shorter days during the darker months aren’t the only reason for raising a frosty beer; we’re just tired of the conflict!

Q U O T E OF T HE WEEK The mere fact of being able to call your job your passion is success in my eyes.

– Alicia Vikander

Well, it finally happened. That stressinduced meltdown I knew was lurking behind the twinkle lights, cheese humor plates and vacuumed-up tinsel emerged this morning. Read on, my friends, for a tale of going postal.

The Saturday started off fine. At 10:30 a.m. I dropped my youngest at dance and then drove straight to Kinko’s with my oldest for a passport photo. After waiting in line for-ev-er, we got his picture and headed over to the Carmel post office.

Unfortunately, their passport counter was closed, with no signs indicating hours of operation. So we stood in line. Again.

Seven minutes later, I learn it’s by appointment only, made by phone only. Fine. On the way home, I call the exact same post office in which I’d just been standing. Passports are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Not exactly convenient for people who have jobs. The nice man did suggest I try a different post office, which I did.

As I am pulling in to my driveway, I discover that if we can be in line at the Fishers PO by 12:30 p.m., we can get the application processed today. Woohoo! Back across town we go. We arrive at noon, but soon realize that we are missing a key component: a paper copy of his driver’s license.

There are still three people in front of us, so I dash back to the van and head to another Kinko’s. I make two wrong turns and get stuck behind an accident clean-up, but eventually get the damn copy and return to PO No. 2.

At precisely 12:35 p.m., we are called. We hand over his application, photo, driver’s license and copy, social security card and expired passport, as well as my driver’s license. “Birth certificate?” the lady asks.

Huh? “Ma’am, we need proof of his citizenship.” “But we have his old passport,” I say.

“Doesn’t count. Good day. Next!” And just like that, we are dismissed. No passport, no nothin’. I was in full sob mode even before we exited the building, and I cried the entire way home.

Stupid holidays. And stupid post offices.

Peace out.

Grumpy new man!

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife told me the other day that my New Year’s resolution for 2016 should be to stop being so negative and grouchy. humor But my humor columns are dependent on those very qualities.

I’ve made a career out of people mistaking my crankiness for wittiness.

I once protested to a couple of Girl Scouts that their cookies were too high in fat and that eating Samoas would shoot my lipids through the roof. Their mothers called and thanked me, saying this was a good health lesson for 9-year-olds. They must not have known I bought six boxes.

I complained about my neighbors’ unkempt lawns and their putting garbage out at the curb two days before trash pick-up. I whined about kids making a ruckus shooting hoops in their driveways on Sunday mornings. Instead of being annoyed, they made me president of the homeowners association.

I’m optimistic about 2016. I’ve already put together my top 10 list of stuff that makes me grumpy 1. I don’t want the clerk to keep asking me if I have a Speedy Rewards Card. I don’t.

2. I don’t want to buy something in a bag that says tear here. It doesn’t.

4. I don’t my wife telling me I can learn to load the dishwasher correctly. I can’t.

5. I don’t want people asking me if I’m the guy who does the weather. I’m not.

6. I don’t want people asking me if my dog, Barney, is still alive. He’s not.

7. I don’t want telemarketers calling to ask if I would like to try a generic Lipitor made overseas. I wouldn’t.

8. I don’t want my wife asking me when I’m driving if I know where I’m going. I don’t.

Young Carmel actor Wray takes on ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mitchell Wray likes being busy, but this schedule was hectic for even the 10-year-old Carmel resident. theater Fresh from completing his run as Michael Banks in the Civic Theatre’s production of “Mary Poppins” on Jan. 2, Mitchell began rehearsals for his role as Dill in the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” a few days later. The performances will begin Jan. 29 and run through Feb. 28 on the OneAmerica Mainstage.

“It’s gets tiring,” Mitchell said. “Sometimes I wish I had a break, but it’s fun.”

It’s Mitchell’s choice to keep busy.

“We kept asking him if he was sure he wanted to do back-to-back shows,” his mother, Chauncie Wray, said.

His mother said her son plans take a break after “To Kill a Mockingbird.” There might be some auditions, but it will be for shows later in the year.

“I also like rock climbing, so I’ll do some of that afterwards,” Mitchell said.

For now, Mitchell is concentrating on what he describes as a challenging role.

“He’s a troublemaker,” Mitchell said of Dill.

“He does a lot of things he shouldn’t be doing. He’s like Scout’s sidekick. They do a lot of trouble-making stuff together. They’re very adventurous. They’re very curious about things.”

Mitchell said there are some similarities between this role and Michael Banks.

“I loved that, just like Dill, Michael is a troublemaker,” Mitchell said. “In the beginning, they are spoiled rotten, and they turn into the

best kids ever.”

Chauncie said he enjoys singing and dancing.

“He never had a dance lesson in his life,” she said.

Mitchell also was thrilled he got to fly on stage.

“That was on top of my bucket list, so check,” said Mitchell, who wore a harness under his jacket and shirt.

His mother said he sings while he is up in the air.

Mitchell appeared in his first movie “Cross-

roads of America,” which is now in post production. He also appeared in a short documentary about the Reynolds Farm Light Display.

Mitchell is joined in the “To Kill a Mockingbird” cast by another Carmel youngster.

Grayson Molin, 13, will play Jem Finch. Grayson began acting when he was 5 years old.

“It’s one of my new favorites,” Grayson said of the play. “I hadn’t read the book before. But when I got asked to do the role, I watched the old movie version of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ and I really liked it.”

Grayson performed as Henry Cratchit in “A Christmas Carol” and Jonas in “The Giver” in IRT productions last season. This season he performed as Ghost of Christmas Past and Peter Cratchit.

“We’re delighted to have Mitchell and Grayson with us in Mockingbird. They’ve both played lead roles on IRT stages, so they are old pros,” said Janet Allen, IRT artistic director. “But the opportunity for them to take on the literary classic roles of Dill and Jem in ‘Mockingbird’ will hopefully be as much of a delight for them as it will be for our audiences.”

More semi-homemade Super Bowl food Commentary Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Does the thought of cooking from scratch for a lot of people seem overwhelming? Then stop worrying and let us help you provide plenty of good tasting food for your Super Bowl gathering without extra worry and long hours in the kitchen. “Semi-homemade” is the cooking genre rediscovered by Sandra Lee of the Food Network. For the next few weeks we’ll feature our ideas of foods you can purchase that can be completed by you to be appetizing and as good as if you made them yourself.

Since the health nuts in your crowd probably don’t know the commandment “Thou shall not diet on game day” the thought of really enjoyable foods for a Super Bowl party probably scares them. So we suggest you name the dishes you plan to serve with tags of very healthy foods like zucchini, one of the very low calorie vegetables that has no saturated fats or cholesterol. Its peel is good source of dietary fiber that helps reduce constipation and offers some protection against colon cancers. It also has anti-oxidants and is rich in flavonoids. So let’s call this next dish Zucchini Pizza Bites.

Zucchini Pizza Bites Ingredients: • 1 cup Johnsonville precooked frozen Mild Italian Sausage Slices thawed • 2 medium zucchini cut into 1/4 inch slices • Cooking spray • 1/4 cup favorite pizza sauce

Semi-homemade dishes are easy to make and will have guests coming back for more. (Submitted photo)

• Basil, salt and pepper • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Directions: Preheat broiler to high. Arrange zucchini slices on a foil lined baking sheet and spritz each of them with cooking spray.

Sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Now broil them a couple of minutes until the zucchini is hot, but still firm. Remove them from the oven.

Top each zucchini with a pinch of cheese, one sausage slice, 1/2 teaspoon pizza sauce and one more pinch of cheese. Return the sheet to the broiler for a couple more minutes until the sausage is heated through. Sprinkle the bites with basil and serve.

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentinwestfield.com When the curtain closes on “Doubt, A Parable” the audience exits without ever seeing the story’s alleged victim or even theater if there, indeed, was one. Did Father Flynn commit sexual misconduct in a private meeting with a student? Or is Sister Aloysius’ suspicion a result of her deep mistrust toward her students, fellow teachers and society in general? The audience is left to decide.

And it is up to Trevor Fanning to generate that air of uncertainty as he portrays the progressive parish priest in question. John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play runs Feb. 5 through 14 at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre.

“It’s an important and challenging task to create characters and situations which don’t reveal an outcome of guilt or innocence,” said Fanning, who will be making his Civic acting debut. “Part of my task in creating this character will be maintaining a sense of uncertainty, so that I don’t force the hand of the audience as to Father Flynn’s guilt or innocence, if it is even that black and white.”

The only thing black and white about “Doubt” are the habits worn by Lucy Fields, who portrays Sister Aloysius and Jen Agnew, who plays Sister James, a young teacher. Dena Taylor joins the sleek, four-actor cast as the boy’s mother, Mrs. Muller.

The play is set in the fictional St. Nicholas Church School in the Bronx in 1965. The meeting between the student and Father Flynn sets off a conflict between the priest and principal Aloy-

sius as she suspects the inappropriate behavior. Flynn explains he was only disciplining the boy for drinking altar wine.

“I think the powerful script, and the intimate way that our director (Jennifer Alexander) and the production team will present this play, will have a great impact on Civic audiences, and, hopefully, be the catalyst for many conversations about how people come to conclusions about the certainty or doubt of what Father Flynn is being accused of,” Fanning said.

“Langenwalter is truthfully the only carpet cleaning company I will refer my real estate customers to.”

Any Lab Test Now increases testing

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Any Lab Test Now, which provides a variety of lab testing for blood, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy allergies and much more have seen an increase in their aids/hiv AIDS/HIV testing.

Chuck Lehman, president of Westfield City Council and co-owner of the Fishers and Carmel locations of Any Lab Test Now said in the past year, there has been an increase of STD testing.

“We are a great resource for someone who just wants to know about their health,” Lehman said. “We would be a great resource for someone who wanted to check for an STD just so they know for self-protection. We don’t ask any questions. We simply say we can do the test, and then they can get the results anonymously.”

Lehman co-owns the two locations with his sister-in-law, Chris Suever.

Any Lab Test Now doesn’t prescribe medications for treatment, although they do have a list of trusted references they can provide patients with.

“HIV testing has risen within last year,” Lehman said. “In this calendar year, we have seen more interest and more activity in the

entire range of sexual health tests across the board. We have seen an increased awareness.

Obviously right now there’s been more awareness brought to it because certain high profile people have let it be known that they have issues and concerns about what’s happening in their life.”

Any Lab Test Now does not take insurance or offer payment plans. Lehman referred to his business as a “point of purchase,” but said since they don’t work with insurance companies, they can keep their costs low. They also have low test times, as Lehman said a typical STD test only takes 15 minutes.

“We offer a comprehensive STD panel. That includes eight different tests,” Lehman said.

The panel costs $229, which he said, by indus-

try standards, is very reasonable.

Results usually arrive within three to five days and most can be emailed or faxed. AIDS results must be picked up in person.

“We are making a comfortable environment for people getting something done that they don’t necessarily look forward to getting done,” Lehman said. “We are open and friendly and people walk in here for all kinds of things.

People walk in here every day and nobody knows what the other one is getting done.”

Any Lab Test Now is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Walk-ins and appointments are both accepted.

Adding color to your kitchen cabinets Commentary by David Decker Colorful cabinets are back in style and one of the most popular design trends. Don’t get us wrong, classic home interior white cabinets are still very popular and something clients frequently request. However, colorful hues in the kitchen are popping up more and more. Bright cabinets can really brighten up the space of your kitchen and can transform otherwise dated cabinetry.

Even just a painted island can liven up a space and add a new look to your kitchen.

Black cabinets are a color option that adds a serious look of sophistication. We’ve seen black gain popularity recently, especially in modern homes. These cabinets usually bring a glossy, formal finish to the room and compliment almost any other accent color.

Another popular interior color, gray, is also becoming more common on cabinets. Less traditional than white but also a neutral option, gray still allows for easy decorating and is available in a large variety of shades.

Another color to consider for cabinets is blue. This is a great option when looking to add a nautical or cottage feeling to your home. The list of blue hues available is end-

less and choosing one for the upper cabinets and a different for the lower cabinets can add interest you may not have had before.

Whatever your style, make your selection carefully. Colors especially seem to come in and out of style quickly, which makes it a little difficult to select a timeless look that features a lot of color. If you are choosing to implement colorful cabinets, you will want to make sure that it does not overpower the

design scheme of the room or the rest of your home.

Berlin’s Allied Museum collects and displays items from 1948 to 1990, when the city was divided between east and west. travel The museum’s most fascinating item reflects western espionage activities during the Cold War. The Allied Museum occupies the building and land of the U.S. Army’s “outpost” movie theater, used to entertain troops stationed in Berlin’s American sector until the troops left in 1994.

Located outside the main building are a number of large items from Berlin’s divided past, including an American guardhouse from Checkpoint Charlie, a British Hastings TG 503 airplane used during the Berlin airlift in 1948 and 1949 and a French railway car. A small section of the Berlin Wall stands in front of a concrete watch tower once used by East German border guards.

a 22-foot long tube, about six feet in diameter. The metal tube once formed part of a 1,500-foot-long tunnel built by the American CIA and the British SIS in 1953 and 1954. The tunnel originated in the American sector of Berlin and extended east about 1,000 feet underground into the Soviet sector, intersecting 1,200 buried telephone lines. Beginning in 1955, American and British intelligence operatives intercepted more than 440,000 telephone conversations involving the Soviet military.

The interceptions stopped when Soviet intelligence discovered the tunnel in April 1956, creating an international controversy.

The refurbished tunnel section now in the Allied Museum came from the western segment, excavated in 1997. Remains of the eastern segment of the tunnel, discovered in a German forest about 100 miles from Berlin in 2012, are stored in a museum warehouse.

One of those days?
