Public speaks out against Hawthorne Ridge Compiled by Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission met Feb. 5. The next APC meeting is 7 p.m. Feb. 20 at City Hall, 130 Penn St. What happened: Residents spoke during a public hearing on Hawthorne Ridge, a 56.155-acre development north of 161st Street and between Oak and Carey roads.

What it means: The proposal is for 51 single-family homes. Local residents expressed concerns about the four live pipelines and the possible loss of trees, nature and wildlife.

The proposal would begin home prices at $420,000 with an average cost of $525,000 per home. Pulte E. 161st St. Homes would be the developer.

Hawthorne Ridge is a proposed development on 56.155 During a presentation to the plan acres for 51 single-family homes. (Submitted image) commission, it was stated the average home in Oak Manor, a neighborhood near the proposed development, sold for less than $400,000 per home. APC member Scott Willis said that statement was untrue because he bought a home in Oak Manor above that price.

“Certainly, the more customization you can do on this with varying the design and four-sided architecture, the more you can do to that here, the better it will integrate into this community and the less resistance you will Willis get from everybody,” Willis said. “There’s lots of value of trees in this area, so the more you can save of that, the more supportive I will be of the project.”

Willis also cautioned on safety with the pipelines in the area.

Because it was a public hearing, no vote was taken.

Students take home national art and writing awards

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Chloe Ruggles was one of dozens of Westfield High School students who recently took home top honors at EDUCATION the annual Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.

Ruggles, a junior, said this is the second year she has submitted her work. “I received three gold and two silver keys this year,� she said. “A lot of the material I submitted was Ruggles some of my summer work.�

Portrait and macro-type photography are a specialty of Ruggles, who started taking art classes her freshman year. “I started with photography class,� Ruggles said. “(AP) Photo (classes) I and II, and then drawing and painting classes as well.�

Ruggles worked during the summer at Magdalena Gallery of Arts in downtown Carmel.

She won three gold key awards, which placed her in the top national percentile of high school writers and artists. “With photography, I love the end result in editing it,� she said. “It is very calming. I love putting together ideas in my head and being able to actually make it happen, make something unique happen. Drawing and painting is relaxing (and) relieves anxiety.�

The awards are granted to students in grades 7 through 12.

Across the United States, more than 330,000 works of visual art and writing were submitted for consideration, according to Scholastic. At least 90,000 were rec-

ognized at a regional level and celebrated with local exhibitions.

In central and southern Indiana, 2,500 pieces of work were submitted. Of that total, 52 Westfield High School students won awards.

All gold and silver key artwork will be displayed at Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler University through March 18. A final awards ceremony will be at 2 p.m. March 18.

The gold keys are automatically submitted to a national level and are eligible to be showcased at the National Scholastic show in New York City beginning March 24. For more, visit artandwriting.org.

DNA law now in effect

Newcomers Club welcomes all

By Desiree Williams news@currentinwestfield.com

By Chris Bavender news@currentinwestfield.com

With the implementation of Senate Bill 322, Indiana now requires all felony arrestees to submit a DNA PUBLIC SAFETY sample. The bill was signed into law last summer but went into effect Jan. 1 after the state gathered supplies, hired personnel and trained employees.

“We certainly believe that it will help solve a lot of crimes,” Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen said. “By the collection of the DNA and being able to match those up to open cases, we can be able to close out a lot of crimes we otherwise wouldn’t be able to without that DNA being available.”

Boone County law enforcement officials proposed the bill after solving the murder of 82-year-old John Clements in Zionsville by matching a DNA sample from the scene to a sample in Ohio, which led to the arrest of Damoine Wilcoxson in 2016.

Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen said local jails previously collected fingerprints and took photographs, but only those convicted of violent crimes or sex

Although the name might suggest otherwise, the Newcomers Club of Carmel isn’t just for those who reSOCIAL cently moved to the area.

“Newcomers welcome those who are new to the greater metropolitan area and those who are experiencing a change in their lifestyle and wish to engage in new activities and meet new friends,” said Bonnie McClain, who handles publicity for the club. “Membership ranges from those who joined in 1989 through 2017. We have a membership representing 31 different states, Puerto Rico and Bermuda.”

A nonprofit social club with more than 210 members, the Newcomers Club offers more than 25 interest group activities.

The groups meet every month and members can participate in as many groups as they’d like. A welcome coffee is held for prospective members each month in a Newcomer member’s home, and there is a monthly luncheon.

Although the majority of the members are from Carmel, others live in Zionsville,

As of Jan. 1, felony arrestees in Indiana are required to submit to a DNA test. (Submitted photo)

offenses were required to provide a DNA sample. Now, all felony arrestees will provide a sample via cheek swab after being booked. The samples are placed in a sealed envelope and sent to the Indiana State Police.

The bill also specifies that a DNA sample be removed from the database if the charges are converted to misdemeanors, if the charges are dropped or if there are no other felony charges filed against the arrestee within one year.

New Westfield High School program gives students real-world experience

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A team of Westfield educators has created a new program that connects students with real-world jobs to gain experience and work on a freelance COVER STORY basis.

Westfield High School teacher and entrepreneur Craig Fugate, innovation specialist Joel Bruns and WHS video production and mass media teacher John Oestreich are the creators of the program Innovate Fugate Westfield. Bruns also created the Idea Farm, a makerspace at WHS. “We started the website originally to showcase student work to help the community realize what skills our students have and Bruns what abilities they have and cool stuff they get to do on Rock TV or creating stuff or interviewing people,” Fugate said. “We were talking, and a few kids started doing some work for local businesses.”

Oestreich Now, several local businesses have begun hiring out work to students – most of which can be done on a freelance basis. Kids are paid for work in the fields they are actually interested in instead of working in traditional teen occupations such as restaurants or retail.

Innovate Westfield connects students with businesses that need employees with certain skills, like app design and marketing. Emma Backie, a 16-year-old junior, took advantage of the program and began

MIXING SCHOOL AND BUSINESS In an attempt to bring WHS and the business community together, the Westfield Innovation Contest will return for its third year. Students create a business idea, individually or in groups, and pitch it to a panel of judges.

The winning student or group receives $500 cash and $1,000 to invest in their business.

The event is similar to the television show “Shark Tank.”

“Innovate Westfield is a big umbrella capturing everything we try to do to help kids get real-world experience.

Instead of just book learning, we want the hands-on type of learning,” Innovate Westfield co-founder Craig Fugate said.

Those were the (exhausting) days

O B S E R V AT I O N Emulate the good

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker None of us are indispensable. Sure, we may contribute. We might even add value in a way that is uniquely our own. But, is it fair to imagine that we fill a role so incontrovertibly without compare that no other human (or machine) might be able to take our place? They would never be us – we are all precious individuals, no doubt; yet, could they fill our shoes differently?

Still, once in a while, there is a singular person who challenges this certainty. Hamilton County Superior Court Judge Steve Nation may be such a human. Even though he has served with distinction for 24 years, acting as a leader to his peers throughout our state, this does not comment on his professional accomplishment and distinction. Instead, it notes that Judge Nation takes a far broader view of community.

From the bench of authority, he dispensed justice under the law. Still, as he shed the black robes of the jurist, he picked up the work of preventing the conditions that kept him fully employed in his day job.

He lent his considerable experience to the intractable problems of domestic violence, senior abuse, veterans’ reintegration, traffic safety, homelessness, education and juvenile justice. As much as he educates those at his side on these scads of nonprofit boards and commissions about the rules and peccadillos of law, he learns from those on the frontline about the root of criminal activity and the impact on its victims.

Although none of us is truly without replacement, some of us are worthy of emulation. Others are likely to step up, each in their own way, and we are lucky to have them. If we don’t see them, then be them.

Problematic potholes Commentary by Erin Murphy Potholes are popping up all over Westfield or maybe they never really stopped.

Filling potholes can seem like an endless job for the Department of Public Works’ crew members, but someone has to do it.

The City of Westfield street department never stops filling potholes. They might be plowing snow one day and two days later they’re patching a hole in the asphalt.

This year, the crew is working with a four-ton hotbox instead of a two-ton hotbox. For those of you who aren’t skilled in pothole linguistics that means the road crew can stay out in the field longer before they have to return for more product.

In 2017, the Dept. of Public Works invested in an asphalt recycler, which saves taxpayer dollars as the mixture that fills the pothole is made up of some of the chipped away asphalt. It has been a great

resource for the street department.

The changing weather in Indiana makes it so you really can’t get away from potholes, so most likely you will encounter one today. All you have to do is file a Report It ticket on the city’s website.

Look for the Report It button on the homepage, westfield.in.gov, and let us know where we can find the pothole.

Once you create an account, you can follow your ticket until its completion through the action center.

It is a great way for our employees to track their progress and for our residents to feel empowered about making our roads safer to drive.

I was stalking Facebook the other day and came across a friend’s photograph showing her newborn twins HUMOR and two older children sprawled on the carpet. Her post read, “I just went to the grocery with all four by myself!” And I thought, “You go, girl!” It took me back to my own early days of parenting when successful momming meant I got everyone out of the house at least once and returned home with the same number of children with which I left.

Inevitably, though, and usually when I was in Meijer, some old, stranger lady would approach and say, “These are the best days of your life, honey. Enjoy them!”

My internal response? “Are you kidding me, lady? Please, God, tell me you are kidding!” Those days were long, hard and often horribly lonely. The burden of keeping little ones alive and occupied for 12 to 15 hours was enormous, and when blessed naptime was disrupted, I would nearly lose my mind, or what was left of it after playing Thomas Train for the entire morning. I longed for adult interaction, workplace stimulation, and by five p.m., a goblet of Pinot. I literally could not wait for the moment when I could ship my angels off to school and return to normal, sane adulthood.

The moral of my stumble down Memory Lane is twofold. For new parents struggling with infants/toddlers/preschoolers, hang tough. The silver lining is around the corner (or wherever your elementary school is located!). Second, if you see a mom in dairy with a rug-rat-laden cart and simply must speak, offer words of condolences or assistance. Or a bottle of scotch.

Peace out.

Mary Ellen was frantic. We were expecting a special guest, and I had never seen her so meticulous about tidyHUMOR ing the house — not counting, of course, the days before Nettie, our housekeeper, comes.

Nettie had been here to clean two days earlier, and when she heard that our important visitor wasn’t due for almost 72 hours, she asked Mary Ellen: “Is Dick going to a hotel for three days?�

The two of them had a good time trading stories about my messiness. “How does he get so much toothpaste on his bathroom mirror?� Nettie asked. “Or potato chips under his pillow?� asked Mary Ellen, doubled over in pain, laughing.

For three days, I was not allowed to cook anything or walk in the house with my shoes on. And I still had no idea who was coming. “I need to decide what kind of songs to play while Brad is here,� Mary Ellen commented. Then she commanded our Amazon Echo: “Alexa, play music to make the house look expensive.�

Aha! So it was Brad, our real estate agent. He was coming to assess the value

of our home. “Now, when Brad arrives, do not refer to downstairs as the basement or cellar.

Please call it our lower level,� Mary Ellen instructed. “And we need an electrician. We have to push the switch down to turn the hall lights on. Who would want to live in a house like that?�

Mary Ellen asked me to remove some of the awards from my office walls. “But I’m pretty proud of those honors.� “OK, you can keep a few up, but the one that says, ‘Class Clown, Class of ’65,’ needs to go.�

As Brad finished viewing our rooms, he peered out the bay window into our backyard, where an entire family of deer appeared. He snapped a picture, knowing this would be a great selling point for wildlife lovers.

Could my wife possibly have arranged such an idyllic scene? I knew she was good, but who knew she was that good?

Warm up to these cold-weather tips

DISPATCHES

Commentary by Dr. Reeta Bhargava

Winter’s wind-chill factors can wreak havoc not only on our comfort, but also on our health. Here are some common sense, and unexpected, tips.

YOUR HEALTH Beyond clothes YourMetabolism plays a large part in your body’s ability to keep warm.

Avoid alcohol. Alcohol relaxes you to the point that it prevents your body from shivering, and shivering helps your body warm up naturally.

Avoid too much caffeine. In moderation, caffeine can raise your metabolism, but too much can actually short-circuit your metabolism, bringing your body temperature down.

Ginger is known to increase core temperature. Cayenne and other peppers are known to increase heart rate, which excites nerve endings. But don’t overdo it. A pinch here or there is all you need.

Complex carbohydrates are key. Unlike simple carbs that break down quickly, giving you a short spike of energy, complex carbs break down slowly. This gives you the boost that can keep your body warm throughout the day. Choose brown rice over white, whole grain breads and oatmeal or multigrain cereal for breakfast.

Most importantly, stay hydrated. We hear this message a lot during the dog days of summer, but it’s just as important in winter. Drinking seven to eight glasses of plain water per day helps your metabolism function properly. On that note, hydration can also help guard against dry skin that could be more susceptible to frostbite. Consider using moisturizing soaps and plant-based body lotions (which absorb over a longer amount of time, as opposed to water-based), especially on exposed areas such as fingers and nose.

Wrapping it up The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more detailed information on how to protect yourself in cold weather.

Check out cdc.gov/disasters/winter/staysafe/index.html, or contact your primary care provider if you have questions.

Unhealthy fragrance – Many scented products contain fragrances that are composed of dozens of synthetic chemicals.

Nearly 95 percent of those chemicals are petroleum-based, cancer-causing toxins. When looking at scented products, go for those with essential oils or natural botanical ingredients rather than traditional fragrance compounds.

Is it strep throat? – A lot of illnesses are going around right now, especially strep throat. How do you know if your child has strep or just a cold? Typically, strep throat will present with sore throat, fever and swollen tonsils. It does not usually cause a cough or runny nose. So, if a sore throat is accompanied by cough or runny nose, it’s probably just a cold.

F.C. Tucker sales statistics — Sellers in Westfield are seeing their home values remain steady but fly off the market quicker. According to F.C. Tucker, homes in the city sold in an average of 65 days, 27.8 percent faster than this time last year. In December 2017, the average sale price for homes in the city was $328,618 at $132.93 per square foot. This sale price represented a slight 1 percent increase from December 2016.

Brrrr, enough of the Arctic blast, already.

I know it’s Indiana and winter, but man.

Let’s heat things up a WINEderlust little. Valentine’s Day is approaching and you are looking for the perfect bottle to surprise your sweetie? Want a delectable selection to enjoy in front of your fireplace?

Need a tasty crowd-pleaser for your supper club? I’ve got some great options. Take a look at these winners. I’ve got three to suggest: If you’re entertaining or seeking a valuedriven wine, look no further than this spicy blend from South Africa, Wildekrans Cabernet Franc-Merlot. It’s got a bit of tannic backbone, but loads of juicy and supple fruit. Think currants, blackberries, plums.

Serve it with rich winter stews or offer to bring the vino if you’re invited to someone’s house for lasagna. Approximately $17.

When you’re willing to take things to the next level, I’m really loving a wine from Ridge Vineyards in California. I like it even

more than usual. Like, it’s really good.

Ridge California Geyserville Zinfandel, 2015. This is a big-bodied glass. It has balance, it has oak, blackberry, cherry, black pepper and tobacco. It is a peppery bramble-bomb. It’ll warm you up for sure. $39.

So, that special bottle for your Valentine?

Or yourself? I don’t judge. It needs to be memorable and very delicious. You’re willing to spend a good amount. Go big or go home with Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon, 2013. An Australian treasure. Dark fruit with loads of berries, pretty ripe tannins and spice. Big and bold but still manages to be lively. A dichotomy. Hints of mint and eucalyptus and wisps of sandalwood will make you think you’re back at a Grateful Dead Show. Wait, what’s happening?

Play to target young viewers

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Rebecca DeVries McConnell, children’s theater is a blast.

“The kids don’t hesitate THEATER to react vocally when they are excited, and it’s thrilling to get that instant feedback from them,” DeVries McConnell said. “One of my favorite parts about doing the Pyramid Players productions at Beef & Boards is doing the meet-and-greet and autographs that follow the show. The children are delighted to meet us, and it’s such a treat to converse with them in character about the story.”

DeVries McConnell will perform as the Fairy Godmother in “Cinderella” Feb. 17 to March 17 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

She played the same role in a 2012 production at Beef & Boards.

“She’s a really feisty and fun character,” DeVries McConnell said. “This is a very funny interpretation of the classic fairy tale. Children will recognize their favorite characters but will enjoy getting to know some new ones that were adapted into this version.”

DeVries played the Sea Witch in the Pyramid Players’ production of “The Little Mermaid” in 2016. She also performed in “The Music Man” and “Godspell” at Beef & Boards.

Aerial artist Kristen Noonan BALLET worked with Carmel-based Ballet Theatre of Indiana choreographer Cole Companion with dancers as flying cupids, which is set to the music of Queen.

“The idea is everyone is assigned a cupid to help them find true love,” BTI Artistic Director Stirling Matheson said. “But the idea is our main character is such a loser, he’s been assigned four. They’re still all very frustrated. It’s kind of like a romantic comedy. It’s funny, and there are ballerinas flying around.”

BTI and Sun King Brewery will team up for the fourth time for “Beer & Ballet IV” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 16 and 17 at the Basile Theatre at the Athenaeum, 407 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis.

Matheson’s piece includes music from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Instead of intermission, Matheson said there is a five-minute break between each piece.

“It’s fun and accessible, works for Beer and Ballet, generally brings in a new audience, and, hopefully, gets them hooked to let them love all of ballet,” Matheson said.

Blueprint for Improvement: Late-‘90s kitchen transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This typical late1990s home in Avon was in need of an update both visually and functionally.

The original kitchen lacked the efficient layout and overall design the homeowners desired.

BEFORE PROBLEMS The kitchen cabinets were original to the home, the finish and door style dated the space and lacked efficient storage solutions. The overall layout of the kitchen didn’t function well for the homeowners and lacked open countertop space. The pantry was large and lacked organization elements.

After

The overall goal was to create a more functional kitchen while giving the homeowners the updated traditional design they had always dreamed of.

1. The biggest transformation was replacing all the existing cabinetry with new, two-toned cabinetry for a modern yet traditional look.

2. Additional cabinetry and cabinet accessories were added to help create more efficient use of the space.

3. The island was enlarged to create the space for a casual dining space and a microwave drawer.

4. Another large transformation was relocating appliances to create a more functional flow throughout the kitchen. This also made the space appear much larger without actually enlarging the footprint of the room.

Love is in the air

El Capitolio in Havana, Cuba.

(Photo by Don Knebel)

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Havana’s symbolic capitol Commentary by Don Knebel Visitors to Havana are often surprised to find a massive and familiar looking building in the heart of the city. Conflicting claims that the building is a replica of TRAVEL the United States Capitol and that it has no connection with the Capitol are both false.

In 1925, after a period of political instability and financial distress, during which the U.S. repeatedly intervened to protect its interests, General Gerardo Machado became president. Machado immediately set out to make Cuba the Switzerland of the Americas, attractive to visitors from around the world. As one of many public works projects he initiated, largely financed by American banks, Machado engaged Cuban architect Eugenio Rayneri Piedra, the first graduate of Notre Dame’s School of Architecture, to design a home for the legislature to communicate a new image for Cuba.

To connote democracy and stability, Rayneri based the essential look and scale of the building on the U.S. Capitol. To connote European sophistication, he copied the

dome of the Paris Pantheon. Other design elements were adopted from Cuban colonial buildings. An estimated 5,000 laborers completed the 681-by-300-foot building, named El Capitolio, in just more than three years. The elegant interior included the third-largest indoor statue in the world and a 25-carat diamond marking the center of the Cuban coordinate system. The Cuban legislature began meeting in its new home Feb. 24, 1931.

When the revolutionary government of Fidel Castro gained control of Cuba in 1959, it abolished the legislature. El Capitolio became the home of the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment. In 2013, Raúl Castro authorized an extensive renovation of a badly deteriorating El Capitolio to become home in 2018 to the Cuban National Assembly, established in 1976.

Did I say “love?” I totally meant to say “a snowboarder.” I love any and every competition in both GRAMMAR GUY the Summer and Winter Olympiads.

ribly wrong, it’s possible the king of Norway could have a freak ski-and-rifle incident, leaving his heir to take the throne afterward. Heir is the person who inherits titles, land or property following another’s death.

You’ve probably heard the saying that goes “to err is human; to forgive, divine.”

When Alexander Pope wrote this he had probably never seen the skeleton competition in the Winter Olympics. If anyone errs in this 80 mph dance with death, his skeleton gets shattered and his nation will never forgive him. In this case, err means to go astray or be mistaken.

I don’t quite have the air time for a few less common homophones: ere (an older way of saying “before”), are (a metric land measure), e’er (an old-timey way of saying “ever”) and eyre (an English itinerant judge). I did, however, want to make sure I included them so that you didn’t think I was erring in my ways.
