Fire causes $20k in damages news@currentinwestfield.com

A fire in the utility room of a Westfield home has caused $20,000 in damages. Westfield firefighters responded to public safety 15434 Bridgewater Club Blvd. the morning of Jan. 17. When crews went inside they found the residence very smoky according to WFD Fire Chief Joe Lyons. The resident told the crew that they believed the fire was in the basement. Crews

went to the basement to find that there had been a fire in a utility room in the basement.

“The fire melted plastic water lines inside the utility room which extinguished the fire,” Lyons said. “The fire was contained to the utility room.”

There were no injuries reported. Westfield was assisted by Noblesville and Carmel fire departments. Lyons said damage from the fire is estimated to be approximately $20,000. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Commentary by Candice Hughes

I have known since I was 16 what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and that was to provide people with memorable expericity ences. I wanted to create a moment that would have a lasting impact on someone’s life.

I found my true calling in event planning. I received my degree from IUPUI in Tourism, Convention and Events Management. I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of the opening team of the JW Marriot and be a part of national events like the Super Bowl. Serving as the special events coordinator for Westfield makes sense for me, because it allows me to create happy memories for our residents.

Westfield in Lights was my first big event working for the city of Westfield. I started only two months prior, so the impact I had on Westfield in Lights was smaller than I envisioned for the future, but I know in 2015 residents will notice big changes.

One event that I recently tackled is creating a

fun 5K for Westfield called Melt the Trail. This 5K will be held at Grand Park on Valentine’s Day. The goal is to show residents how accessible our trail system is and to get families active during the winter months. Some people don’t realize our trail system throughout Westfield is monitored and plowed during the winter season. The race will eventually move into connected trails such as the Monon and Midland once construction is done.

I hope runners and walkers and everyone in between will sign up for Melt the Trail, get moving and fall in love with our trail system this Valentine’s Day. It’s a great opportunity to create memories with loved ones. I hope all of you reading this dress up and join us for this event!

County on solid ground, preparing for future issues

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County is financially solvent and prepared to address upcoming issues in 2015 and beyond, commissioner government Steve Dillinger said during his annual “State of the County” address to the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 21.

During his presentation, Dillinger spoke about 2014’s successes and which issues may face the county in the future. Through the ups and downs, Dillinger said we live in a county where the government cooperates.

“That doesn’t mean we all agree all the time, because we certainly do not,” he said. “We argue, we debate, we fight, but I can assure you, from our ventures throughout the state, we get along a lot better here in Hamilton County and accomplish much more than any other county I know.”

Highlights of Dillinger’s speech include: Budget – The county’s 2014 budget was $144 million but only $128 million was spent – putting the county $16 million under budget. Dillinger added that the county’s surplus and rainy day funds were $47,934,729.

Government and judicial center addition – Space at the Hamilton County Judicial Center is nonexistent and officials have decided to build an addition instead of find a new location to house county departments. Officials estimate it would cost $20 million to build three shell stories

and furnish the first floor. However, any government or school project costing more than $12 million requires a referendum and that route is not something the county wishes to take. County officials have approached state lawmakers to adjust the bill.

Public safety – The county updated its emergency response radio systems in 2014 to make every department in the county able to communicate with each other. Dillinger said it cost $9 million to build four new towers and purchase 3,000 radios for all county and municipal first responders.

Jail changes, expansion – As a result of legislative changes, beginning July 1 Indiana counties will be responsible for housing con-

victed inmates with Class D felonies instead of the Indiana Dept. of Corrections. Dillinger said the jail’s capacity is 300 inmates and its current population is 290 people. As a result of the bill, officials anticipate inmate numbers will grow 10 percent each month after July and is expected to double in the following year.

Officials said a shell was built on the third story of the Hamilton County Community Corrections so the county has 33,000-square-feet of open space available. It is estimated to cost $70 to $80 per square foot to build out that area into usable space.

Training facility – The commissioners and municipal officials are in consensus to build a county training center for public safety employees. Proposed plans for the 96 acres, owned by Westfield on River Road in Noblesville, include a multi-story burn tower, a 20-line weapons training and qualifications range, infrastructure for roads and a small building for classrooms, equipment and bathrooms. Officials estimate the project will cost $3 million.

Road projects – The county has approached INDOT about creating access to Keystone Parkway from 146th Street, which is expected to be built by 2019. The other major project is the continual widening of 146th Street to Boone County.

Dillinger said Spring Mill Road to Ditch Road will be completed this year; Ditch to Towne Road by 2018; Towne to Shelborne Road by 2021; and Shelborne to Boone County by 2021.

Scott Willis in Iraq after combat operations in the Al Anbar Province.

Willis said the Marines had tripped up an IED chain near New Ubadi.

Westfield’s Scott Willis earns Marines colonel commission, highest ranking officer in state

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Scott Willis was working on his civil engineering degree from Purdue when he sensed a calling.

“About halfway through my time at Purcover story due, Desert Storm happened,” Willis said of the first Iraq War. “I have a family with military service, especially on the Marine Corps side, that drew me into signing up for the Marines after I graduated from Purdue in 1992. I went to officer candidate school and got commissioned as a lieutenant in the Marine Corps.”

Willis enjoyed his four years of active duty, but said he realized it wasn’t a lifestyle he wanted long-term. However, the Westfield resident stayed in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves. On Jan. 17, Willis, 45, was promoted from Lieutenant Colonel to the rank of Colonel.

“It’s the pinnacle of my career because there is only one other promotion I can get and that’s General,” Willis said, adding that there are no generals residing in the state making him the highest ranking officer in Indiana.

However, Willis said he would not be able to contribute the active duty time he needs to get that promotion with owning his own business, an executive search firm in Carmel called Arnett Management Solutions. Willis said he recruits specifically in pharmaceutical and biotech management. Willis started out in the manufacturing world with jobs with Corning Inc., and General Motors.

Sgt. Major John Hampton, who met Willis in the early 2000s and then was deployed with Willis to Iraq in 2005, was pleased with Willis’ promotion.

“He’s a fantastic Marine officer,” Hampton said. “Having known him since he was a captain, it’s nice to see him reach that level. There are over 42,000 Marines in the Marine Corps Reserves and only 319 reached the rank he has achieved. It was quite an achievement.”

Stacey Willis watches as her husband, Scott, receives a congratulatory hug from son, Graden following Scott’s promotion on Jan. 17.

After leaving Corning, Willis moved back to Indiana to work for General Motors in 1999. He lived in Fishers for a few years and met his wife, Stacey. They got married and moved to Noblesville for three years before moving to Westfield in January 2005.

During Willis’ 22 years in the Marines, he has served a variety of roles, including time in artillery, tanks and as the commanding

officer at Grissom Air Force Base.

“I slowly climbed the ladder to where I am now,” he said.

Willis was deployed to Iraq in June of 2005 and returned home in May 2006. He was stationed at a small outpost called Al Qaim, a train station on the Syrian border.

“I ran a combat logistics detachment on the border,” Willis said.

“We basically were tasked with cutting off the supply of material, weapons, insurgents and terrorists crossing the border from Syria into Iraq.”

Willis said his unit also ran a polling station for their constitutional referendum and national election. He is now with the Marine Forces Northern Command unit, part of a program called Defense Support Civil Authorities.

“We’re the link between emergency management between the state and federal government,” Willis said.

The program also provides support for events such as the Super Bowl in Indianapolis.

“Any kind of major event that happens in the Midwest, we are usually involved in some kind of contingency plan,” Willis said. “We got deployed for Hurricane Sandy. We have to be prepared to leave at a moment’s notice.”

Willis and his wife, Stacey, have three children.

“I love being a Marine and I’m very proud of being a Marine,” Willis said. “Twenty-two years in, it’s who I am as a person. So I’m glad I was able to continue to be associated with the Marine Corps. I just didn’t want the lifestyle on the active duty side. Several of the Marines I served with when I was a second lieutenant in 1993 have been deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Their time away from family is amazing compared to what we do on the Reserves side.”

Willis’ father, William Willis, and his maternal uncle, Steve Raquet, were both Marines and served in Vietnam. Both his grandfathers, were in the Army Air Corps, served in World War II with his paternal grandfather being killed in Guam.

What To Expect: Parenting Coordination A recent, positive trend in Indiana family law cases, as well as several other states, has been the appointment of a parenting coordinator in high conflict situations. Typically a mental health professional or a lawyer, a parenting coordinator or “PC” is an individual appointed by order of court and charged with managing on-going issues between parents (and others) in cases with constant and substantial disputes involving child custody and parenting time issues. Either party may petition the Court to appoint a parenting coordinator or if the concur that their situation would benefit from the involvement of the PC, the parties can submit an agreement to appoint one, including selecting the PC. What is a PC’s role? The Order of the Court will have considerable detail as to the extent and limitations of the duties of the PC. Depending on the level appointed, the PC may have the ability to act as a communication facilitator, an ongoing mediator and even, essentially, an arbitrator. As a general rule, the PC cannot modify the court order. For example, the coordinator may recommend a different weekly parenting time schedule, however, does not have the authority to modify the amount of time each parent has with the child(ren). All recommendations of the PC require approval of the Court to go into effect and each party has the opportunity to contest these before the judge, if desired. As the goal is to help the parties effectively co-parent and address issues which may arise from time to time, the parenting coordinator typically meets with both parties regularly, receives day-to-day questions and complaints about any aspect of a party's conduct, gather information from outside sources (schools, doctors, counselors, etc.) and works with the parties, first looking for a consensus or at least a basic agreement. If this is not successful, the PC may choose to inform the parties of what the PC

believes is in the best interests of the children in the hopes of pushing the parties to an agreement. Last, the PC may submit their recommendations to the Court if no agreement is possible.

In Indiana, there are several levels of authority in Indiana for PCs. A Level III Parenting Coordinator is the most frequent choice, holding a high level of authority and may make binding recommendations to the parties on the issues presented for consideration. A binding recommendation may only later be set aside by a Court Order after one party formally objects to the recommendations by filing an objection with the Court. Further, parties should be mindful that the parenting coordinator can later testify in court about the non-compliance or other issues which may arise during the sessions.

How much will this cost? Parenting Coordinators are most often attorneys and charge parents for the time involved in addressing the issues presented. The typical Court order will have the parents sharing the costs such that they are both “invested” in the process. As part of their authority, however, the PC may have the ability to reapportion costs if one party’s lack of cooperation is clearly a primary issue and the source of a disproportionate amount of the costs.

Dance mom vet

F R O M T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Perhaps the best salient point ever In case you were wondering who most of us are dealing with as the leader of the free world, consider this passage from the Wall Street Journal last week: “In the 1944 film ‘Gaslight,’ a con artist manipulates his new wife psychologically to make her doubt her own sanity in a scheme to steal her inheritance.

That’s increasingly the way to understand President (Barack) Obama ’s behavior toward Congress and especially the tax increase he floated in Tuesday’s State of the Union (Address). The only plausible rationale is that he thinks he can gain politically by driving Republicans nuts. Mr. Obama’s income-redistribution themes are familiar, though they are amusingly detached from the reality of the largest GOP majority in Congress since 1949.

••• Also, consider this: Obama in one corner, a potential two-thirds Senate majority opposed to his position on Iran in the other. This could be good (or bad) theatre. In his State of the Union Address last week, the president said he would veto sanctions on Iran, because they “will all but guarantee that diplomacy fails, alienating America from its allies, and ensuring that Iran starts up its nuclear program again.”

Twelve Democrats in the Senate previously co-sponsored legislation for sanctions. If that continues, the Senate would be so close to a majority that it would take one additional vote to seal it – if all 54 Republicans stand behind it. Keep in mind the president has vetoed only two bills in six years; neither was overridden.

••• Lest you believe Hillary Rodham Clinton doesn’t favor her connections in the banking world, she recently delivered a speech cohosted by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Yes, it’s the same bank that is being investigated by the United States for helping wealthy Americans stash money in the bank’s Caribbean accounts to avoid paying federal taxes. Some might call that unmitigated gall.

We’re among the “some.”

The gap of the gaps

Commentary by Terry Anker

The American founders knew it. Even the modern, liberal French know it. The distinction between a mob and a populist revolution is a narrow one. Contemporary French journalist and politician Jean-Francois Revel illustrates the point beautifully: “A human group transforms itself into a crowd when it suddenly responds to a suggestion rather than to reasoning, to an image rather than to an idea, to an affirmation rather than to proof, to the repetition of a phrase rather than to arguments, to prestige rather than to competence.”

Rich! Wealthy! Income disparity! Income divide!

If these words are meant to sting, does our leadership hope to foment classism? If so, is it warranted and rightly defined? Who are these “rich” people? President Barack Obama has chosen a combined annual household income of $250,000 to be the metric. He points to the very real gap from the median showing that those higher wage earners eclipse their fellow Americans by almost 6 times. Assuming that the math is cor-

rect, what is the context of this contrast?

A Gallup poll in 2013 of median incomes globally places the United States sixth highest at $43,585 with Burundi the lowest at $673. In other words, the median American family expects income 65 times of that in the comparison country. Moreover, this income number excludes the enormous infrastructure, safety-net, education and other advantages found in the U.S. The gap of the gaps is over 11 times.

Our own author, Mark Twain, said “Few things are more irritating than when someone who is wrong is also very effective in making his point.”

Even as our own misguided Robin Hoods attempt to equalize inequality, are we spending too much time looking at those whom we believe have more and not enough time caring for those whom we know have less?

– Mother Teresa

I’ve been struggling for topics of late but was holding on to the notion that dance competition season would soon be starting and I’d have a plethora of tacky, delicious stories to relay. But alas, either I’m a seasoned veteran with the super-hero ability to ignore the highpitch antics of several hundred overly-rouged, be-sequenced ‘tweenagers’ and their obnoxious, also-sometimes-sparkling mothers, or, this past weekend was tame when compared to last year’s nearly-traumatic introduction to competitive dance.

My youngest started dancing just two years ago. Having myself never been a dancer or anything that required extensive parental involvement and “judging” to determine the winner, I nearly stroked out at her first competition last January. The make-up, the false hair and the myriad of shoes and tights and bandeaus all came as quite a shock, and that was just the moms! You should have seen their daughters! Not to mention the way scores are calculated and awards are bestowed ... a judge doesn’t like your costume so she deducts points? What kind of nonsense is that?

And the unfamiliar terminology had my head spinning. Lyrical, contemporary, grand line, production, minis, juniors, adagios … a whole new vocabulary world big-banged into existence as soon as I set foot in that often-terrifying convention space.

I saw choreographers yelling at high schoolers, mothers violently applying lipstick to toddlers, and dads stumbling around aimlessly no doubt wondering what they’d done to be cast down into such a low level of female hell. I temporarily lost hearing in one ear after repeated screeches of “Nail it, Kayla!” and almost went blind from over-exposure to under-clothed (but well-endowed) tappers. And I wasted hours upon hours of quality weekend time that could have otherwise been spent binge-watching Downton Abby, waiting for my daughter to perform her three-minute jazz number. When we finally made it home that Sunday, I was ready to pull her from the team and return to the frozen fields of youth soccer.

This year, at the same competition in the same hotel, with Maddie actually dancing twice the number of routines, I actually enjoyed myself. I knew to bring a good book, to retreat to my “quiet space” if I felt edgy, and to appreciate the weekend for what it was- a chance for my girl to do what she loves most.

I guess I’ve simply mellowed out. Was there dressing-room drama? Absolutely! Did I have a slight ringing in my ears after the third awards ceremony of the day? Indeed I did. But I came away surprisingly rested and of course, feeling extremely proud of my daughter.

Five lives intersect at Belfry’s latest show, ‘Bus Stop’

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. A nightclub chanteuse is being pursued and kidnapped Theater by a 21-year-old cowboy with romantic intents; the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance.

“It’s a little touch of what life used to be in 1955,” said Connie Murello-Todd, director of “Bus Stop.” “Some of the things they talk about still ring true and some things … life was so much simpler then.”

For its 50th season, The Belfry Theatre is reproducing shows from its history. “Bus Stop” was originally produced for the 19831984 season and directed by Jim Bray. This year’s show runs Jan. 30 through Feb. 15.

“This was the one that stood out for me,” Murello-Todd said.

“Marilyn Monroe starred in the movie and I just thought it was cute. I just enjoyed it when I read it.”

Staying true to its timeframe has caused the cast some issues with props.

“They didn’t know you had to use opposing thumbs to unlatch the suitcase. They’d never seen a rotary dial telephone and didn’t know how to use the coffee maker,” Murello-Todd said. “It’s been fun to bring them into the ’50s. The first time Rose (Franzen) couldn’t get into the refrigerator because it latched was a hoot.”

The cast includes a group of veteran actors like John Whitaker and Ryan Shelton and newcomers to the Belfry stage like Addison D. Ahrendts, Rose Franzen and James Maratea.

“It has been one of the easiest shows I’ve directed,” MurelloTodd said. “It’s a very professional group and we’ve been able to dive into character development, nuances and gestures which we normally don’t have time to do.”

Returning to the Belfry stage after a long hiatus is Jeff Maess, who last appeared in “Light up the Sky.” “That was about 30 years ago,” Maess said, adding he has acted

in five other shows at different theaters since that time. “I’ve been interested in coming back. I saw their schedule and was interested in this show and next one, ‘Noises Off.’” Maess said the script for “Bus Stop” is one reason he auditioned and enjoys the show.

“The thing that stands out for me is how well written it is,” he said. “I’ve been in different shows and learning lines, a well written show makes it that much easier.”

For his role as Virgil Blessing, Maess had to learn how to play the guitar.

“All the other guys in the case can play the guitar except for me,” he said. “They’ve been helpful.”

bus stop Where: Belfry Theatre, 10690 Greenfield Ave. Noblesville When: 8 p.m. Jan. 30 and 31 and Feb. 6, 7, 13 and 14; and 2 p.m. Feb. 8 and 15.

Cast: John Whitaker (Bo), Addison D. Ahrendts (Cherie), Jeff Maess (Virgil Blessing), Rose Franzen (Elma Duckworth), James Maratea (Carl), David Korff (Sheriff Will), Ryan Shelton (Gerald Lyman) and Jennifer Mauldin (Grace). The show’s hosts are Tara Douglas and Hank Kratky. The show is directed by Connie Murello-Todd with assistance from Evan Elliott.

Devour Downtown runs until Feb. 1. (Stock photo)

Running until Feb. 1, the 2015 Devour Downtown slogan is “restaurant weeks offering three course, value-priced menus.” While it may sound like a pitch to get you to dine out in the middle of winter (it is), Devour Downtown is a must for anyone in the Indy metro area.

Not only are restaurants participating in vegetarian and meat set-menus for diners to enjoy at a reduced rate, they are also lining up fan-favorite cocktails.

The 2015 Devour Downtown Winterfest Cocktail Contest winners were just announced, which comes at an opportune time since there are still a few days to enjoy Devour Downtown.

If you have no desire to try to make these cocktails on your own, visit devourdowntown.org to see the full menus for participating restaurants in the 2015 Devour Downtown Winterfest.

In the “Best of Show” and “Tequila Cocktails” category, the winner is Barbie Gale, who tends the bar at Harry & Izzy’s.

Her chiquilla martini takes the cake for being the sweetest, tequila-filled dessert drink there is.

Chiquilla Martini • 2 oz. Tres Generaciones • 1 oz. Cointreau • .5 oz. Dark Cream de Cocoa Mix liquor. Garnish with an orange slice dusted with cocoa powder.

For the winner of the “Rum Cocktails” category, Kelley Morgan of Scotty’s Brewhouse with her “Squiffy & Wench” cocktail is a clear favorite.

Squiffy & Wench • 1.5 oz. Cruzan Dark • 3/4 oz. Ginger Syrup • 1/4 oz. Simple Syrup • Fresh Ginger • 1/2 Squeezed Lime Juice Combine Cruzan Dark, Ginger, Simple Syrup, Pureed Ginger and fresh lime juice. Shake and pour over ice. Serve in a martini glass with a sugar/lime half rim.

As guests enjoyed complimentary admission into Conner Prairie on Jan. 19, three local artists commissioned by Nickel Plate Arts spent the holiday creating artwork focusing on art the theme of peaceful protest and Martin Luther King Jr. Artists Derrick Burnett of Fishers and Wend Boomhower and Kandi Jamieson of Noblesville created pieces about MLK and answered questions about their artwork and the historic figure.

“It’s a way for us to remember what Dr. Martin Luther King did in his lifetime, what he stood for and his impact not just as an American but the lives he impacted working to grow rights all over the world,” Burnett said. “There were so many places where people were trying to establish themselves.”

Burnett picked the topic of non-violent protest for his painting.

“I picked the Freedom Riders to put focus back into the light,” he said. “They gave their lives for a cause without knowing it.”

Boomhower’s piece included multiethnic people coming together with a banner stating, “We Shall Overcome.”

“I’ve always wanted to do this. This is a good cause and raises awareness,” she said. “It’s a wonderful topic to teach children.”

Boomhower said several families came by and watched her paint at the end of a hallway lined with MLK displays.

“Some were shy but I allowed one little girl to paint,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed listening to parents educate their children. It’s been interesting to hear their talks.”

Jamieson painted four different portraits of MLK, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and a young boy at a protest and created mixed media pieces from the paintings.

“I sliced and started weaving them together.

There are three different people in each portrait,” she said. “There are several different ways to interpret it – symbols of summing up awareness, symbols of death, rebirth or making something more out of their resemblance to talk about unity and freedom.”

Success ‘surreal’ for Thompson Square

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Since being signed to Stoney Creek Records in 2010, Thompson Square has released two albums which have produced eight music singles on the country charts and two No. 1 hits: “Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not” and “If I Didn’t Have You.” “It’s been busy, it’s been a whirlwind,” said Keifer Thompson. “I’ve never had a dream come true before so it’s weird being able to live that.”

The husband and wife duo of Shawna and Keifer Thompson also have two Grammy nominations and have won seven country music association awards. The next stop for the rising musicians is Jan. 30 at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino, 4500 Dan Patch Circle, Anderson.

“The energy and style of show (Bruce) Springsteen puts out, that’s what we try to emulate,” Keifer said. “It’s the attention to not playing the scene, it’s very raw and about the songs, about singing and the audience and making people disappear for awhile.”

Keifer said guests should enter without a preconceived notion of what a Thompson Square concert is like.

“It’s loud. We have a lot of fun with a lot of different stuff,” he said. “We have fun and laugh on stage and that translates to the crowd and we’ve seen the response and

the reaction from the crowd is absolutely intoxicating.”

Keifer said always having his wife and best friend around makes his job fun.

“I go out and do stuff with the guys sometimes but for the most part I kind of like the arrangement,” he said. “It actually works for us.

We’re partners in life and in music. It’s a great mix.” Keifer said.

Pet care clinic offers alternative therapies

Inventory smaller, prices higher

By Mark Robinson • robinson@youarecurrent.com

Westfield’s newest pet care clinic offers something it claims few others can for animal clients: alternative therapies based on centuries-old Eastern practices. now open Springmill Pet Wellness Clinic opened Jan. 22 at 224 W. 161st St., a second location for the group following its first office at 71st Street and Binford Boulevard. in Indianapolis. Dr. Steve Nichols, the primary veterinarian at the new location along with partner Dr. Mike Graves, chose Westfield for its burgeoning growth and proximity to his own home.

“It’s an up-and-coming area with a lot of residential surrounding it,” said Corry Lampe, the veterinary technician running the new clinic, “(and) not a lot of choices for veterinary practices, so it is very convenient for a lot of people.”

The clinic provides traditional medical, surgical and dental care for cats and dogs such as wellness check-ups, vaccinations, spaying and neutering and routine surgeries. But Nichols is one of few vets who also specializes in alternative therapies like acupuncture, aqua-therapy, oxygenation therapy, laser therapy, the use of Chinese herbs, vitamin supplements and more.

“Our veterinary team is proud to offer the best of conventional veterinary medicine and complementary and alternative therapies,” said Nichols, a Sheridan resident. “We find that this integrated approach to veterinary care offers the best treatment options for pets and their owners, especially when pets are in pain from chronic illnesses.”

Owners with pets suffering from cancer, skin diseases, arthritis and other afflictions come to Nichols seeking therapies other than the traditional Western route that often prescribes medicines, radiation, chemotherapy and the like.

“Depending on what disease process the animal has going on, there are

different alternative ways to treat them or to help them feel better,” Lampe said. “That is our goal, to prolong their life in a quality way. You don’t find a lot of veterinarians that practice Eastern medicine, so it becomes a really nice niche that we offer to our clients.”

Lowest closing costs – Hamilton County ranked first with a 1.4 percent ratio of closing costs to home value. Buying a home usually requires cash for both the down payment and closing costs. But where you are buying can have a big impact on how much you will pay in closing costs. A new study from SmartAsset ranked the 10 places in the nation with the lowest closing costs calculated as a percentage of the home value. Closing costs were based on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage on each county’s median home value and a 20 percent down payment.

Nearly 1,500 homes pended in December, with all but three Central Indiana counties reporting increased real estate sales compared to the same time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company. Overall, December 2014 pended home sales rose to 1,497 over December 2013, an increase of 43 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks.

In Hamilton County, pended sales decreased while the sale price increased: • Last month, pended sales in Hamilton County dipped 13.3 percent to 260 homes compared to 300 homes in December 2013.

• Sale prices in Hamilton County continue to trend up. In December 2014, the average sale price rose to $267,559, which is an increase of 5 percent compared to December 2013.

• In Westfield, 34 homes pended last month, which is four fewer homes than December 2013.

• Inventory in Westfield remains stable.

Last month, 174 homes were available for sale – a decrease of three homes compared to December 2013.

• Homes in Westfield are selling fast. In December 2014, homes were available for sale for 62 days – five fewer days than the same time last year.

Overall across Central Indiana, listing inventory continues to fall while home sale prices inch up – positive indications that stabilization continues across our region.

We expect this positive movement to continue into the first half of 2015.

Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

Chipolte holds the pork

2461 Turning Leaf Lane, Carmel, IN (Near 106th & Towne Rd.) $779,900 | Ranch Home | Built in 2004 6,093 Sq. Ft. w/ almost 5,000 Sq. Ft. of finished living space

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Earlier in January, it was announced that Chipotle, a popular Mexican restaurant chain, would stop selling pork products at about food one-third of its locations nationwide because it was discovered a supplier wasn’t keeping the pork up to their standards.

As of press time, the “pork carnitas” were not available at the 12697 N Pennsylvania St. Chipotle in Carmel, near Meijer and U.S. 31. But the carnitas were sold at 2420 E. 146th St. in Westfield.

The carnitas also are available at the nearby Keystone Fashion Mall location.

Some business analysts wondered if the shortage of the popular menu item would hurt sales. The company branded the decision by reiterating their opposition to selling pork that isn’t “responsibly raised,” a phrase the company uses so often that they’ve registered it as an official trademark.

It appears that their marketing spin has paid off. Ask local customers and they say they have more respect for Chipotle for deciding to not sell the pork.

“It’s good to see the company stand up for its morals,” said Rob Lower of Westfield. “I don’t typically order the pork, so it doesn’t affect us, but it makes me more likely to come back. I usually order the chicken, but I know they are probably going to hold those farmers to the same standards as the people supplying the pork.”

Keke Reynolds, who works at the Pennsylvania Street location, said customers have been very understanding about the shortage and most have had positive comments to say in response.

Carmel’s Ross Hamilton said he thinks more companies should go in that direction.

“We’re getting into more organic products as opposed to animals filled with hormones, so it does make a difference to me,” he said.

And while some customers might be craving pork, luckily it’s only a short drive to a location that serves carnitas.

“I could understand why it’s frustrating for people who want pork but couldn’t get it,” said Lauren Creek of Carmel. “But it’s important to have a higher quality product.”

Cooldowns, gentle exercises such as stretching or walking that help transition your body to a resting state, have been advocated to prevent muscle soreness. A study found that exercisers who did a formal cooldown after a workout had the same amount of muscle pain, or more, the next day as people who did not do a cooldown. The one benefit of a cooldown is that it prevents blood from pooling in the lower body and possibly causing dizziness, but to get that benefit, all that is needed is a few minutes of walking.

Oncology nurses, who frequently suffer from workrelated stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout, reported significant improvements in tension, worry, and demands over the course of the study.

One of the essential oils tested was grapefruit, which is refreshing and revitalizing, and helped boost the body’s feelings of energy and happiness.

Question: “Hey Jordan. My 10-year-old daughter, my wife and I are in quite a conundrum.

When listing nouns in a grammar guy sentence, is a comma used before the conjunction ‘and’ or ‘or?’ My daughter thinks it is, my wife thinks it is not and I think it’s acceptable with or without a comma. So, who is correct, my daughter, my wife or yours truly?” – (James Swick) Answer: The serial, or Oxford, comma is a hotly debated subject in the grammar world.

Let’s talk briefly about who uses it, and why.

If you’re a serial comma fan, you’re in good company. The bulk of style guides call for using the serial comma (APA, MLA and “The Chicago Manual of Style,” to name a few). The serial comma is also the standard used in the U.S. Government Printing Office, so it gets Uncle Sam’s seal of approval as well.

People who don’t use it: The Associated Press, the Canadian Press and the Brits (although it is mandated by the Oxford University Press, where it gets its name).

The major point upon which arguments for and against the Oxford Comma stand is the creation or resolution of ambiguity. Consider the

following sentences: 1. “My uncle, JFK, and a group of senators toured the base.”

2. “I saw the movie with two kids from school, Tom and Jerry.”

In the first sentence, the serial comma creates ambiguity. Is JFK an appositive naming the speaker’s uncle or merely the second person in a list? In the second sentence, including the comma would resolve the ambiguity of whether Tom and Jerry are the two kids from school or two other people who went to the movies.

The argument over the serial comma is endless and tiresome, so here is my maxim: I follow the appropriate style guide for the writing at hand (as a journalist, this means I use AP Style).

If no style guide is more appropriate than another, I choose whichever construction leaves the least ambiguity. After all, if your readers don’t understand your writing, then it doesn’t matter how “technically correct” the serial comma is – you’ve failed to effectively communicate.

Homemade fly repellent – Flies are repelled by the herb thyme so make your own fly repellent.

1. Brew a teaspoon of dried thyme in an eight-ounce cup of just-boiled water for five minutes.

2. When it cools, fill a spray bottle and spray the window frames, countertops...wherever and whenever the flies tend to congregate.

It is safe and nonchemical. You can use it every day, if need be; it’s free of chemicals and harsh smells. But flies hate it and will think twice before sneaking inside your home!

You can use it to clean dishes, grimy pans, bathroom tile. Be sure the surface is nonreactive (don’t use it on cast iron, nonlaminated marble or limestone.)

2. For tougher messes, sprinkle some baking soda on the surface before scrubbing with the lemon.

3. After your cleanup, cut your lemon rind up and toss a small bit at a time in your sink disposal.

When you run your disposal, your sink drain will smell fresh and clean.

Pancha Rathas: Honoring a poem Commentary by Don Knebel Monumental shrines carved in solid rock in southeast India pay homage to a poem that influences the lives of hundreds of Travel millions of people every day. The shrines themselves, although never completed, have also had a lasting influence on the appearance of India.

Near the small town of Mamallapuram, about 40 miles south of Chennai along the Bay of Bengal, seventh century artisans sculpted five enormous shrines from a single outcropping of granite. The tallest of the intricately-carved shrines rises more than 35 feet from the sand and all include chambers for sheltering the images of one or more Hindu gods and goddesses.

Inside one shrine, an adoring follower of Durga is famously shown cutting off her own head as a sacrifice to her goddess. In another, a statue merges the separate gods Shiva and Vishnu into a single, ecumenical image. Two lions and an elephant, carved from the same outcropping, stand guard.

The shrines are known collectively as “Pancha Rathas” (Five Chariots) because they reportedly suggest the wooden chariots used in ancient temple processions. Although originally intended to become temples, the shrines were never completed and therefore never consecrated. Long ago the residents of Mamallapuram decided to name the shrines in honor of the heroes of

the Mahabharata, an epic poem completed in the fourth century A.D. that includes 1.8 million words and 200,000 verses, making it about eight times longer than the Iliad and the Odyssey combined. Included within the complex poem is the 700-verse Bhagavad Gita, a synthesis of moral and religious principles that is as important to Hindus as the Bible is to Christians. The Mahabharata recounts the story of five brothers of the Pandava family who battled their cousins for control of a legendary kingdom in northern India. Four of the Pancha Rathas are named for the Pandava brothers, two of whom were twins,

and one is named for Draupadi, the wife they all shared.

The distinctive styles of the Pancha Rathas became models for later Hindu temples constructed throughout the Indian subcontinent. As a result, the shrines are now part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
