Redistricting plan A approved

By Lauren Olsen • news@currentinwestfield.com

Change is officially coming to Westfield Washington School at the elementary level as the Board of School Trustees approved Supt. education Dr. Mark Keen’s redistricting recommendation of Plan A on Feb. 11.

Two plans were discussed to handle redistricting at the elementary level. According to Keen, Plan A will affect the students at the two largest elementary schools: Oak Trace and Maple Glen.

According to the details of Plan A, students who reside in Springdale Farms, Village Farms, Bainbridge, Hills & Dales, Westfield Farms, Beacon Pointe and Shadow Lakes will be reassigned to Shamrock Springs Elementary. Officials said this will reduce the number of students at Oak Trace Elementary by 105 students and also will allow room for the continued growth of the Viking Meadows neighborhood.

Other moves include: Pine Ridge, Quail Ridge and the boundary’s northwest corner to be assigned to Monon Trail; Carey Commons and the northeast cor-

ner move to Washington Woods; and the Keeneland development with no current homes will be reassigned to Maple Glen from Shamrock Springs.

“It’s very difficult to move students and move families when you don’t have new schools to move them to. The nice thing about this is that everybody loves the school they are in, the bad thing is everybody loves the school they’re in and somebody has to move,” Keen said.

School board president Tim Gardner said that prior to the decision the board held two public hearings, took recommendations from a committee made up of parents and administration, listened to public comments at the last two school board meetings, and received online comments. The board also received many letters from concerned people that were read and considered before making the decision.

“I assure everybody that we processed those and thought about those and wrestled with those and it was difficult,” Gardner said.

The redistricting will begin in the 2014-2015 school year.

DVD Review - Game of Thrones: Season 3 Say what you will about author George R.R. Martin and HBO’s adaptation of his epic fantasy series, but they’re willing to take big storytelling chances. That narrative brashness continues in season three, which sees the entire continent of Westeros split into different warring factions. It’s full of surprises and unexpected character development, with fan favorites brought low and the hissable Lannister clan seemingly triumphant. Read more at currentnightandday.com

City council discusses banning food trucks at Grand Park

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Westfield City Council is discussing an ordinance to ban food trucks from competing with permanent vendors and brick-and-mortar businesses in and around Grand Park before the Government 400-acre sports campus opens this spring.

“There is currently no policy on food vending throughout the city,” Council president Jim Ake said. “It’s a good idea to establish some rules and regulations to operate by.”

“We’re not trying to bureaucratize the system by setting up a fee or payment system,” Economic Development Director Matt Skelton said. “We’re working diligently with food service providers, restaurants and food vendors within and around the Grand Park area.”

The Grand Park area boundary defined in the ordinance is 196th Street to the north, Ind. 32 to the south, U.S. 31 to the east and Spring Mill Road to the west. Skelton said city officials have heard some concerns that could impact economic development in the area as businesses state they “can’t compete with food vendors.”

“We’ve had a few (interested food trucks) in the last year. Nobody is doing things here now. I haven’t seen anything really, just expecting it with the park area,” he said. “This is going to become a pretty popular place.”

Deputy Mayor Todd Burtron said the city expects to receive 32 percent of sales from permanent food vendors at the park, which include Urick Concessions.

Large employers (more than 25 employees) are permitted to host

food vendors if invited by the business and located on property owned by the employers to provide meals to employees.

“We have no interest in curtailing that except in the Grand Park area,” Skelton said.

Skelton said vending activities also are permitted outside of the Grand Park Area that includes neighborhood parties, ice cream trucks and non-incorporated children’s stands.

“We have no intention of stopping kids’ lemonade stands,” he said.

The ordinance also does not affect special events, which include the Westfield Farmers Market; Relay for Life and events hosted by Westfield and Hamilton County Parks and Recreation, Westfield Public Safety, Westfield Washington Schools, Westfield Rotary, Lions Club, Downtown Westfield Association and Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis.

“If there is anything missing we couldn’t think of it,” Skelton said. “If there is anything missing we could add it.”

Violators of the work-in-progress ordinance will be subject to a fine of not less than $25 and not more than $300 for each offense. According to the proposed ordinance, a separate offense shall be deemed committed upon each day during which a violation occurs or continues.

“The $25 fine is not enough of a hitch to prevent anything,” Board member Cindy Spoljaric said.

The ordinance is just in the discussion phase now and council members said they are interested in hearing comments from the public.

“We invite public comment over the next month,” Ake said.

Other business at the Feb. 10 meeting included: What happened: Text amendment to Maple Knoll development What it means: The amendment regards the sign ordinances of Springmill Pointe Plat in the Maple Knoll development, which is adjacent to Ind. 32 and Austrian Pine Way. The amendment removes previous sign ordinances approved in 2004 and applies current Westfield Washington Township sign ordinances. All other aspects of the Maple Knoll development ordinance remained in effect and unchanged.

What’s next? The council unanimously approved the amendment.

What happened: Government joint resolution between Westfield Washington Schools and the City of Westfield What it means: The two government bodies will work together to keep the overall tax rate low or help it to decline over time.

The resolution regarding governmental financial initiatives includes sharing detailed five-year fiscal sustainability plans (renewed annually) and making TIF funds available to the schools when available.

What’s next?

The council and school board unanimously approved the resolution, which is now in effect.

What happened: Amending the Grand Junction consolidated economic development area What it means: The resolution removes parcels within the Grand Junction TIF district that the City of Westfield or state has purchased. Because the government now owns the parcels, they are non-taxpaying. “It thwarts the purpose of a TIF district,” Associate Planner Andrew Murray said.

What’s next? The council unanimously approved the resolution.

New senior living center planned

tions to add 70 to 90 independent living apartments, 26 nursing beds and up to 30 assisted living apartments in future phases.

“There is an option for light commercial uses if the market for independent living apartments isn’t present,” Price said.

Price said the concept plan calls for a 40-foot-wide landscaping easement along its northern border with Centennial. The development will have right in, right out entrances on Ditch Road and 146th Street.

CarDon is a family owned and operated business headquartered in Bloomington. The company began in 1977 and recently completed the Hamilton Trace development in Fishers.

Parkhust Dr.

Ditrch Rd.

CarDon Development Company has proposed a 16-acre senior living community at the northeast corner of 146st Street and Ditch Road. The $14 mildevelopment lion proposal was introduced to the Westfield City Council on Feb. 10 and will be presented to the Advisory Plan Commission on March 3.

Attorney Matt Price, who spoke on behalf of CarDon, said the initial phase of construction includes a one- and two-story facility of approximately 117,500 square feet. The project would consist of approximately 104 skilled nursing beds and 36 assisted living apartments. Price said the skilled nursing portion will divide four neighborhoods of two beds for short-term rehabilitation, memory care and long-term care.

“It allows families to stay together. They Somerville Dr. can live on the same campus and not be separated because one needs a higher level of care,” Price said.

Proposed senior Price said the CarDon facility will have living community a theater, a beauty shop, activity rooms, a large kitchen and dining rooms, as well as a therapy gym for physical, occupational and speech therapy. The assisted living apartments will include meals, housekeeping, personal and medication assistance, entertainment, and transportation 146th St. services.

District adds time, not snow days

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For five weeks, Westfield Washington Schools’ students will have more classroom time than they are accustomed to because of this winter’s harsh storms.

Westfield Washington Schools Supt. Dr. Education Mark Keen said the Indiana Dept. of Education has accepted the district’s option of extending school days in order to make up non-waivered school cancellations.

“Although any option will create some issues, we believe that adding time to the school day is far and away the best option from an instructional standpoint,” Keen stated. “Adding time will Keen provide more instruction prior to essential assessments, which impact either high school graduation or the earning of college credit – including ISTEP+, End-of-Course Assessments and Advanced Placement exams. Adding time will also provide additional instructional time across the second and third trimesters, rather than just at the end of the school year. Both are vital for student success.”

Effective Feb. 17 through March 20, WWS will add one hour of instruction to the schedules of grades 5 through 12 and 50 minutes of instruction to kindergarten through fourth grade. Keen said school start times will not change.

“This means school will be dismissed either one hour or 50 minutes later.

After-school meetings, activities and practices will be arranged by each principal at his/her respective own building. If there is an individual/family issue with the adjusted school day, please work with the building principal,” he stated.

A total of nine days were missed – three days built into the calendar and the IDOE forgave two days. Westfield Washington students have four days (24 hours) to make up. Keen said the intent is to make this time up so that the last day for students will still be May 29, and not June 4.

“This will allow the high school administrators to check all senior grades and verify eligibility for graduation,” he stated. “Should additional days of cancellation occur, do not automatically assume that we will simply extend this option. We will assess the situation and determine the best solution at that time.”

Council unveils project list

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Westfield City Council and mayor’s office unveiled the first project list from the proceeds of the sale of Westfield’s utility sale water and wastewater utilities to Citizens Energy Group. The city will use approximately $40 million for much-needed infrastructural investments in Westfield such as new streets, sidewalks and trail expansions – without raising taxes.

“A lot goes into a list like this and it’s bound to change,” board member Cindy Spoljaric said.

“Funds can’t be used for normal operating expenditures,” City Council President Jim Ake said.

Ake said projects will begin this spring and continue for the next five years.

“We’re investing money into infrastructure to spawn economic development,” Deputy Mayor Todd Burtron said. “It’s not a hard-and-fast list.”

Officials described the list as a “very living, fluid” document, and the infrastructural projects include: 2014 • 186th Street and Grand Park Boulevard roundabout – $500,000 • 186th Street from Grand Park Boulevard to Kinsey Road – $800,000 • 161st Street and Carey Road Roundabout – $4M • 156th Street and Spring Mill Road roundabout – $300,000 • 161st Street and Oak Ridge Road roundabout – $500,000 • Tomlinson Road from 186th Street to 191st Street – $100,000 • N.

Social media connecting city, residents Hats thrown into local races Commentary by Zachary Burton As someone with a background in digital communications and government, I am thrilled to join the city of Westfield as the new communications specialCity ist. I’ve been on the job for only two weeks, but I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone and feel right at home here in the Westfield community.

Due to some pretty awful weather, my first few days on the job allowed me to use social media in a way that kept residents and businesses informed on the city’s response to snow and ice. By simply taking a few minutes during the day to post updates on Facebook and Twitter, I enabled people throughout the city to keep track of snowfall, traffic conditions and how the public works team was keeping our roads clear.

We’ve also tried to find better ways to respond to residents who have concerns or questions. For instance, we’ve set up an e-mail address, potholes@westfield. in.gov, that allows residents to report pothole concerns.

It’s been a great way to open a dialogue with the community and be as responsive and efficient as possible.

One of my larger goals in my capacity as communications specialist is to help lend a stronger voice to the

community’s citizens. I’d like to develop video, photographic and social media features that give residents, businesses and community leaders a chance to share projects, new business ventures or exciting events. I really think the connectivity made possible by digital media and a more integrated communications strategy can be tremendous sources of good and growth in a close-knit community such as Westfield.

A little about my background: I hold a bachelor’s degree in history and political science from Manchester University, as well as a master’s degree in communications from IUPUI. Born and raised in Franklin, I am a lifelong Hoosier.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, music and photography. An avid hiker, I am never more at home than when exploring Indiana’s nature preserves, parks and forests.

If you have any ideas on how we can make the Westfield community a great place to live, work and play, please feel free to get in touch. I would love to hear from you.

Zachary Burton is the communications specialist with the City of Westfield. He may be reached at zburton@westfield.in.gov.

Westfield house fire safely contained – The Westfield Fire Dept. was dispatched to a residence fire at 322 N. Union St. just before noon Feb. 6. Officials said crews arrived on the scene and immediately noticed fire and smoke surrounding the home.

Firefighters safely entered the structure and focused their efforts on extinguishing the flames. During their search they learned no one was in the home. While trying to control the fire, a firefighter suffered a slight hand injury. Officials said he was transported and treated at Riverview Hospital where he was released the same day. There were no other injuries.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. Officials said the damage is estimated at $60,000. The Noblesville, Carmel and Fishers fire departments all assisted with the fire.

Westfield’s first microbrewery, Grand Junction Brewing Co., will open in the spring

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Something’s brewing in downtown Westfield – literally. Coowners Jon P. Knight of Westfield and Charlie Wood of Fishers are working to update 110 S. Union St. from the cover story former Keltie’s restaurant into Grand Junction Brewing Co. Officials said the business plans to open at the end of March or the first week of April.

“The key compound is passion. You have to be extremely passionate about brewing. You have to be adamant about producing the best product possible,” Knight said.

Community connection The naming of Grand Junction Brewing is a nod to Westfield’s history and future. Knight said the railroad-themed name is derived from the city’s connection point of the Monon and Midland railroads and the rich Quaker history that helped establish Westfield.

“We have the actual physical railroad and the underground railroad,” he said. “In the future – in a year-and-a-half to two years – we’ll have Grand Junction Plaza. Grand Junction Brewing seemed like a good fit.”

Just across the street from the business is where Westfield will create the civic plaza community gathering space, which is intended to become the “gem of the city.”

“We hope we are going to be a part of the renaissance. Westfield is at the beginning of some cool stuff happening,” Wood said.

“We’re naming it Grand Junction to be a part of it.”

Knight said the brewery is working with the Westfield Washington Historical Society to place historic photos in the pub. Grand Junction Brewery also will have current photos of the city as Knight is working with Westfield High School’s AP photography class.

“We’ll have old photographs dating back to horse and buggy days,” he said. “We’ll have framed pictures on display. We’ll rotate them and it provides a modern connection – part of the growth

that has already started in Westfield.”

Knight said the building, which was built in the 1860s, has had no dramatic changes to “preserve the historic setting.”

The owners Knight, who was born in England, said he has always wanted to open a proper English Pub. “I love the environment and culture,” he said.

While Knight got into home brewing only two years ago, Wood has 41 years of experience, including a second-place finish at the Indiana State Fair last year.

“I got into it and loved it – got bit by the bug,” he said.

In addition to having fun, safety and quality are also priorities of the business.

“Nothing is more important than sanitation,” Knight said.

“We will not put out anything that doesn’t meet our standards,” Wood said.

To ensure the product is its best, Luke Kazmierski has been hired as the pub’s brew master. Kazmierski has a degree in biology from Purdue University and spent the past six years honing his craft at Mickey Finn’s in Chicago.

“We’re very lucky to have him on board. He is meticulous on the nature of the process,” Knight said. “Beer is half science and half art.”

The operation Grand Junction Brewing has seven barrels that hold 31 gallons each or 217 gallons combined. Wood said one tank can hold approximately 1,700 pints.

Knight said the pub offers eight beers on tap, and after the five foundations, that leaves three guest taps, which will be rotated among local breweries. Grand Junction Brewing will have a unique tap system. Knight said traditional pubs use a gas delivery system when dispensing beer, which is traditionally CO2-heavy with a concentration of 75 percent CO2 and 25 percent nitrogen. Grand Junction Brewing will use a high nitrogen content when serving its stouts and pilsners.

“Nitrogen has smaller bubbles than oxygen, which makes (the beer) a creamier consistency,” Wood said, adding that some will think the beer “tastes flat” until they get used to the new system.

The microbrewery also has a one-barrel “pilot” brewing system that will be used for small batches of unique beverages. The owners said those possibilities include bourbon beer, barley wine, chocolate chili pepper beer, chocolate beer, and blueberry beer.

“We’re going to serve specialty beer you can’t get in other places,” Knight said. “We’re going to wow them.”

There are no plans to bottle its product at this time, but Grand Junction Brewing will offer growlers for takeout.

“We will be a very popular destination,” Knight said, adding that because the pub brews its own beer, it is allowed to sell growlers on Sunday.

The pub’s kitchen includes typical fare but “a cut above with reasonable prices,” according to Knight. The restaurant side will serve sirloin burgers, pizzas, French fries, salads, wings, soft pretzels, fried pickles and sweet potato nuggets.

Because the space was formerly a favorite eatery among locals, Knight said Grand Junction Brewing will serve Keltie’s bread pudding.

“She was known for it. It gives a nod back to her,” he said.

The pub has a seating capacity of 90.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

FROM THE EDITOR Daddy’s time

Could this be good news?

The Wall Street Journal, in tandem with NBC News, recently released results of national polling it did, and the results are at once staggering and encouraging. How can that be? Read on. Pollsters asked Americans if our nation is better, stagnant or worse off since President Barack Obama took office. An unthinkable (even to us) 68 percent of respondents said the president has steered the United States to a position that is worse than when he captured the Oval Office in the aftermath of George W. Bush’s bungled administration. Obama is in his sixth of eight years as our leader. It’s also amazing and heartening, the fact that 81 percent of respondents disapprove of the job Congress is doing and twice as many among those polled stated they hold negative views of the Republican Party. Good news, it seems, but for a voting community that needs a serious reset. Maybe it’s under way. Maybe the independents are finally good and fed up with the ineffectiveness of our president and the representatives and senators on both sides of the aisle. Is this the leading edge of a sea change? Are the independents coming to the fore in a meaningful way?

We certainly would celebrate that.

Kill him!

Commentary by Terry Anker

Even as we recover from our collective disappointment that the big game didn’t provide us with adequate thrills, one is brought to contemplate the modern ethos surrounding the grand combat that is contemporary football. As we sit and listen to commentators compare these young athletes’ prowess to all manner of ancient warriors, the hyperbole is both amusing and concerning.

Just this week a purveyor of such things announced the looming exhibition boxing match of a pair of celebrities – or at least notorious humans.

The promoter is bringing together George Zimmerman, the low-rent, armed neighborhood watch protagonist who shot an unarmed 15-year-old boy, and Earl Simmons, the multi-platinum-selling, bankrupt deadbeat dad of 12 (more paternity claims are being litigated), felon and movie star who presently calls himself DMX. Although there isn’t enough room in this column, perhaps in the entire newspaper, to fully come to grips with these men’s guilt or innocence against the various social expectations they have confronted, one can

certainly imagine the PT Barnum-like spectacle this display will generate.

Mr. Simmons summarily expressed his bravado by proclaiming in an expletive-laced tirade that he would beat Mr. Zimmerman to near death and complete his humiliation by evacuating himself on the body. Mr. Zimmerman, in his own display of modern manhood, has been seeking a boxing match like this one for some time and has been shopping for an opponent most likely to generate attention, and thus cash for himself.

Please forgive the use of rather coarse language in describing the interaction between these two humans; however, its expression printed here barely exposes the vitriol of what has actually been said. Is this an important expression of rage in our society, or simply unfettered and devolved pandering?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent, learn not to be deceived.

- JR Capablanca

Feb. 14 was a special day to celebrate my love with my wife, but Feb. 6 was a time for me and my daughter, Caroline, as the two of us attended the Ardsley Management Daddy Daughter Dance held by Hamilton County Parks and Recreation at Cool Creek Park in Westfield.

This was my first daddy-daughter dance and from our experience it will definitely not be our last. Even my daughter, who is just 2½, knew it was a special event. We got her dressed up and I shaved off the winterish beard and broke out a black suit.

She was greeted by smiling volunteers handing her a carnation of her color choice and a treat bag. Once inside she was running from station to station to create foam photo frames, enter raffles and guessing games, devour sweet treats at the food table (like only dad would allow) and then the dance floor, which she had to be pried away from to get a photo of the two of us.

HCPR Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls said roughly 130 guests attended the dances. I talked with my fathers and learned that for most this was an annual tradition – and it was easy to see why. The dance was a special time for fathers to reserve quality time with their daughter(s). Nicholls probably summed it up best, “We live in an age when the demands of life extract so much time and energy from responsible parents, that an event like this becomes all the more desirable … and memorable.”

Nicholls said most of the HCPR staff is moms and dads and for that reason, the dances are near and dear to their hearts.

“We are fortunate enough to witness very special memories being made – right before our eyes and over the course of years,” he said. “We feel privileged to be able to offer this opportunity to the community we serve.”

It’s also an opportunity to let your hair down. You could be silly on the dance floor because many of the other dads there were doing the same to make their children smile.

The whole purpose was to show your children just how much they mean to you.

Showing our Kentucky side

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

As I approach my seven-year anniversary with Current, I’ve been revisiting some of my most “famous” columns. Here’s the one that forever changed my husband’s identity. humor Pardon me, but my Kentucky is showing. One night, you see, as I lay in bed with my sound machine at half blast, I heard what sounded like a small critter shuffling behind me. Squirrel in the chimney, I thought, and cranked the noise to “Prop Plane.” Moments later, the scratching shifted, and I determined it was coming from directly above my head, from the attic. The weird clawing continued, so I went to get my husband (who I will hereinafter call “Doo” in reference to Loretta Lynn’s husband).

Doo came upstairs and confirmed that something was definitely up there, but felt there was no need to fret. I eventually fell asleep, but at 4:30 a.m., I awoke to more creepy pawing. Dang nabbit! When I went outside to take a gander, I couldn’t see anything at first. Then a circular shape with two pointy ears came into focus, daring me to do something about his uninvited presence. Naturally, I hightailed it back to safety.

At first light, Doo climbed up to attic with a broom and came face-to-face with our perp, a big mother of a raccoon. Doo ordered me outside; he would attempt to scare the varmint out onto the roof. No good. The ‘coon hunkered down

between the joists. “I’ll be back,” Doo shouted as he sped off in the truck, covered in insulation and sweat.

Minutes later Doo returned, now armed with a pellet gun. He again entered the attic, ready to go all Deliverance on the critter. Out on the front yard, I heard Pop! Pop!, and then Doo hollerin’ “I got him!” Though he couldn’t find a body, we proudly claimed success.

At 11:30 pm, however, our worst nightmare was confirmed. The Bourne Raccoon was alive!

Scratch, scratch, shuffle, scratch. With the kids asleep, Doo grabbed his gun and headed into the fray once more, while I sprinted outside. Pop! Pop, pop, pop. Silence. Then Doo came bounding out the door in nothing but a pair of cut-off shorts, yellin’ that he’d nailed the sucker, while I stood barefoot in a bathrobe.

How Butcher Holler was this scene? Me and Doo, half-naked at midnight, trying to kill a ‘coon with a shotgun? All that was missing was a baby on the hip! A big fat apology to neighbors who were lured to their windows by our backwoods shenanigans. We promise to keep our Kentucky better hidden next time. Peace out, y’all.

Snooze dog

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Something curious is happening to me. I hope it’s nothing to be too concerned about. I’m not napping as much as I used to. For humor most of my life, if I was on the couch watching a TV show, I’d nod off within five minutes. But a couple of weeks back, I made it through the entire Super Bowl wide awake. Not even Peyton Manning can say that.

This past month I did not take a single nap.

Even the dog wondered what happened to our siesta. He kept following me around the house as if to say, “Hey, I’m 80 in dog years. It’s almost 2 p.m. Let’s stretch out and do this.”

Napping has never been a problem. When I was a high school teacher, I actually fell asleep in class while proctoring a statewide exam. The kids were very polite. “I hope we didn’t disturb you yesterday, Mr. Wolfsie,” said one of my students. “We tried to cheat as quietly as we could.”

Until recently, I could take a quick snooze while having dinner with friends, sitting at red lights, waiting for my wife to put on makeup, letting the dog relieve himself, and waiting at fast food drive-up windows and in checkout lines.

Anywhere.

Symphony from Israel to stop in Carmel during tour

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com Being in the middle of a 38-concert tour might seem like a heavy load for an orchestra conductor to undertake, but BoguMusic slaw Dawidow is used to the rigors of touring and international travel for the sake of music.

In fact, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra that the Polish native will conduct in a concert at the Palladium Feb. 19 is just one of five orchestras he’s involved with on four continents.

In addition to being principal guest conductor of this orchestra from northern Israel, Dawidow (pronounced “DAH-vee-doff”) continues to direct the Chopin Chamber Orchestra he founded in Krakow, Poland, in the 1980s. He also holds the post of principal guest conductor with the Bogotá (Colómbia) Symphony Orchestra.

All that, plus regular work with orchestras in Palermo, Italy, and South Korea, makes for what could well be an exhausting schedule for a 60-year-old.

“I don’t feel it,” Dawidow said about his age, as he prepared to travel to Elmira, N.Y., last week.

His wife is accompanying him on this tour, as she does on most of his travels.

“If you love this, you don’t feel your age,” he said. “I was born to be on the stage and I feel born again whenever I go onstage.”

The main difficulty is adjusting to time-zone changes, he admitted in a telephone interview.

“But if music is your life, you do everything you have to do to get into the music,” he said.

His formative musical studies focused on conducting in his native Poland, but his career focus blossomed significantly in the early 1980s when he worked with and observed Leonard Bernstein in Vienna over seven to eight months.

In the twilight of his career, Bernstein was giving concerts and making recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic.

“He just showed me that these big guys are normal guys,” Dawidow said. “You can talk with them. And you can see how they work. That was something that can be the best in a young conductor’s experience. “ As for Bernstein’s influence on him, Dawidow said, “He has proved to me the value of looking for the simplicity in music. In performing music, in dealing with all the people involved, you keep in mind that everything starts from the classics.”

Dawidow has emphasized known masterworks he loves in the programs he’s leading on the current tour. The Carmel audience will hear the overture to “Euryanthe” by Carl Maria von Weber; Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7

THIS WEEK Let your spirits soar – The Indiana Wind Symphony presents a new show called “By Air or by Sea.” Conductor Charles Conrad CARMEL invites listeners to venture onto the high seas and soar through the open skies with music of the symphony as their vessel. The inspiring performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Palladium in Carmel.

in A major; and with soloist Roman Rabinovich, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor.

Audiences respond well to music they are likely to be familiar with, Dawidow said, and bringing programs consisting largely of wellknown compositions allows them to assess the quality of an orchestra they are unlikely to know.

Israeli pianist Rabinovich will be the soloist in 20 of the Haifa orchestra’s U.S. concerts. At other stops he will play concertos by Beethoven and Rachmaninoff. The ensemble has another soloist on hand for the remainder of the concerts: violist Avshalom Sarid, who will be fea-

tured in a contemporary concerto by a fellow Israeli.

Formed in 1950, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra offers a varied musical palette to audiences at its home base in northern Israel. It has bigband and opera affiliates, a Jewish music series, extensive children’s concerts and an educational component, in addition to its classical season.

This is its first American tour.

Play tackles fading WASP culture

By Terri Spilmam • editorial@youarecurrent.com Imagine if a dining room table handed down from generation to generation could tell stories about all the holidays, meals, theatre life-changing events and conversations that occurred while gathered around it.

Carmel’s newest theater group, Carmel Theatre Company, will be presenting A.R. Gurney’s play “The Dining Room” which is written around that very idea.

Director Ken Klingenmeier has cast three men and three women who play a total of 58 characters of all ages as “The Dining Room” travels its course through time.

“The play is a study of Americans, primarily White Anglo Saxon Protestants who make up a large cross-section of our country,” Klingenmeier said. “It is about what that cross-section values both materialistically and emotionally.”

The play was first presented in 1982, but its themes of clinging to tradition still resonate today.

The cast shares the duties of the multiple characters in 18 short scenes that take place in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household.

Each vignette portrays a different occasion and life circumstance among a family such as a father/son interaction on grammar and politics, the exposure of a mother’s infidelity, a senile grand-

mother that doesn’t recognize her own sons and a daughter wanting to come home after a failed marriage, each ranging from the funny to the serious.

Producer Kim Howard said, “We have a talented cast of experienced actors and are anticipating an enjoyable and quality production.”

The cast includes: Mark Tumey, Ryan Shelton, Daniel Shock, Tonya Fenimore, Barb Weaver and Sonja Distefano.

“The Dining Room” • Studio 15 • 15 First Ave. NE in Carmel • 7:30 p.m. Feb. 27, 28 and March 7, 8, 14 and 15; 2 p.m. March 1, 9, 16 • Tickets are $12 for seniors or children 12 and under;$15 for adults • For more information call 688-8876or visit www.carmeltheatrecompany.com.

A peek at future piano virtuosos

By Terri Spilmam • editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Arts Council and Piano Solutions will present the 2014 Young Performers Showcase and competition on Feb. 22 music and 23.

According to Carmel Arts Council Executive Director Doreen Squire Ficara, the two organizations launched the showcase in 1998 to give young students interested in the arts a chance to perform in front of an audience and help them build enough confidence to demonstrate their talents.

This year, 130 musicians will be competing in their respective age groups with most playing piano.

The students will be judged in five categories that include Mastery of Music, Dynamics, Rhythmic Accuracy, General Effect and Stage Presence as well as Technique.

Event Coordinator Cheryl Everett, who specializes in print music resources and academic development at Piano Solutions selects collegiate judges from outside of the area so the students get an unbiased opinion of their performance.

In addition to building the confidence of these young musicians, the showcase also builds a sense of community.

“Playing the piano and practicing by themselves can be a lonely thing,” Everett said. “The showcase allows participants to be with other children, see that others are playing the piano

Showcase highlights student talent

By Amanda Foust • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The musical abilities of more than 800 of Carmel’s students will be on display from 5 to 9 p.m.

Feb. 27 when the Carmel Education Foundation hosts its annual Music Showcase. music Historically broadcast as part of a telethon, this year’s event will feature live performances by nine elementary schools and two middle school choirs, ensembles and a jazz band on a large stage.

Students from Cherry Tree, College Wood, Forest Dale, Mohawk Trails, Orchard Park, Prairie Trace, Smoky Row, Towne Meadow, West Clay, Woodbrook elementary schools and Carmel and Clay middle schools will be participating throughout the evening.

The foundation, whose mission is to give classroom grants to teachers, also will be collecting cash donations at the performance and pledges at a later date. All collected donations will be shared with the music departments of each participating school. The funds give each department the ability to enhance their music and supplies.

“Our hope is to collect $1,000 or more the night of the event, and with our Bright House sponsorship we hope to give each participating school a minimum of $250 dollars,” said showcase chairwoman Janet Corbin.

This free event is the 28th incarnation of the showcase and is expected to attract an audience of more than a thousand people, and the general public is encouraged to attend. And that’s not including the people who view it on Bright House Channel 99 during the telethon shown March 25, 26 and 27, Corbin said.

She said the purpose behind this showcase is to highlight each school’s musicians in such a large venue.

“That’s really cool for them,” she said. “And it’s more than just a fundraiser, it’s more of a giving back event.”

At the same time, CHS students are given experience in filming, editing and working as stage crew during the event.

“The most important part is that the kids get to play on the high school stage,” said Lisa Sullivan, event organizer and Mohawk Trails music teacher.

Sullivan has been guiding the event for the past 20 years and said its better now that kids can watch themselves play on TV instead of doing it live for a telethon. She also said they appreciate the chance to connect with their friends at other schools.

“We’re very blessed with very talented kids,” she said. “It’s a fun night. And we hope the community would come see the kids perform and be encouraged to donate.”

Don’t hide your legs this summer Commentary by Dr. Jeffery Schoonover

Are you unhappy with your legs’ appearance?

Do you avoid wearing clothing that shows your legs? Are you experiencing swellveins ing and discomfort in your legs? Do you have a network of spider veins crawling across your legs? Do you have bulging, twisted veins? This summer you can grab your shorts or bathing suit and enjoy the summer sun.

When we have varicose vein disease, valves in our legs do not work properly and allow some of the venous blood to flow backward and pool in our legs, resulting in bulging veins and symptoms such as pain, swelling, tiredness or redness. If an individual has bulging veins or is suffering from discomfort, treatment may be required to relieve symptoms. Spider veins might not always cause discomfort, but can be a cosmetic concern. Diagnostic ultrasound vein mapping should be performed to determine the abnormal areas of blood flow in both legs. With

dipatches

that information, a comprehensive plan of treatment can be determined.

Endovenous laser treatment is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. Using ultrasound guidance, a small laser fiber is inserted through the skin into the varicosed vein. Laser energy is delivered inside the vein, which causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. Once that vein is closed, the blood reroutes to other healthy veins. This procedure is done in-office under local anesthetic. It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Following the procedure, patients wear a compression stocking on the treated leg. Most patients return to work within a day or two; many return to work the same day. EVLT may also be accompanied by sclerotherapy, which is a straightforward strategy to treat any residual, problematic veins. This procedure involves using a very small needle to inject a solution into the veins, which cause them to collapse and disappear.

Beyond the obvious health benefits of treatment is the legs’ improved appearance. If you are experiencing symptoms of varicose veins or are bothered by your legs’ cosmetic appearance, a consultation is important. Treatment is easy and will dramatically improve your quality of life.

Too much money in a 401(k)?

Commentary by Mark Wade

Under current IRS rules, every person holding money in one or more retirement accounts must begin withdrawing some of that Finance money each year starting in the year he turns age 70½.

This may seem like a long time from now based upon your current age, but the planning for this required distribution from these accounts should begin years before that date.

If you have accumulated a large sum of money in your retirement accounts, you might even want to begin this process as early as age 50.

That’s because it’s possible that you have too much money in your qualified accounts, which could cause a tax issue during retirement.

Not taking the required minimum payout could cause a penalty of half the amount you should have removed, but did not remove, from your accounts.

Part of this puzzle is that you may have tax liability during retirement if your income from dividends, other income or IRA withdrawals, exceeds $24,000 per year.

The concern here is that tax rates in later years will be higher than they are today. Predicting future tax rates is impossible. Given the national debt today, this is a very real possibility.

To reduce this tax liability in retirement, it may be wise to begin withdrawing funds from your qualified accounts long before you reach the required distribution.

A person who has more than $300,000 in

qualified money at age 50 should see a financial advisor to calculate what the expected required distribution would be at age 70½. Remember that after 20 years of investing, your $300,000 could easily become $600,000 or even well over $1 million if you made wise investment decisions.

If, for example, you have $600,000 sitting in your accounts at age 70, you would be required to withdraw $21,897 in the first year of distribution. This might not be a big deal unless your growth on that account exceeds the minimum distribution.

Those of you who were brave enough to be in the stock market the past 24 months probably made a return that could be in the range of 5 to 35 percent. If your money was sitting in a savings account at the bank, your return was probably less than 1 percent.

At age 76, if you still have $600,000 in qualified money, your minimum distribution would be $27,272. This would put you into a taxable situation under current rules. Your growth each year would require you to continue to withdraw increasing amounts of money, increasing your tax liability.

For this reason, some individuals will need to begin withdrawing funds from their accounts at a much earlier age. You can make these withdrawals prior to age 59½ without penalty.

As stated earlier, always discuss these issues with a financial advisor before taking any action.

Toyota to recall Prius cars for software defect - Toyota issued a recall covering the third-generation Prius cars due to a programming glitch in their hybrid system. Toyota said the problem is in the software used to control the boost converter in a module that is part of the hybrid system. “The setting of the software could cause higher thermal stress in certain transistors within the booster converter, and these transistors could deform or become damaged as a result,” Toyota said. “This will result in various warning lights being illuminated, and will probably cause the vehicle to enter a failsafe mode.” The cars could be driven but with reduced driving power, and in limited cases, the hybrid system could shut down, causing the vehicle to stop, possibly while it is being driven, Toyota said.

Long-term care now priced by gender Deciding to buy long-term-care insurance is a big financial commitment — even more so if you are a woman. Last year, Genworth Financial and other big insurance companies adopted gender-distinct rates for long-term care insurance — which means that if you are a woman, you will now pay more than a man for the same coverage.

Long-term care insurance pays for help with daily activities such as bathing and dressing if you can no longer do them yourself. Long-term care insurers said they adopted gender-based premiums to reflect the reality that women tend to live longer than men and are more likely to use benefits. Women own about 58 percent of policies, Genworth said, but account for nearly 67 percent of all claims. The effect is that women will now pay several hundred dollars more a year in long-term care premiums than a man would for a comparable policy. SOURCE: New York Times

START THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT WITH 20% OFF ANY WELLNESS SERVICE OR YOGA PACKAGE NOW THROUGH FEB. 28, 2014.

CALL 317.580.0101 TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR WELLNESS & YOGA OFFERINGS. COLOR CODING: WHICH SHADE IS RIGHT FOR YOU? Are you considering switching up your shade for spring? Here are a few tips to keep hair color transition natural, beautiful, and worry-free.

Enlist a Trained Professional Always get your color done by a professional. It can be hard to apply product evenly throughout hair and even harder to judge processing time when your experience in color is limited. Take the fuss and mess out of at-home dyeing by scheduling your appointment with one of our stylists at Salon 01. Our unique color bar and personal consultations will make you feel right at home- without the unwanted cleanup!

If you’re thinking blonde…

If you were blonde as a child or if you had a lighter hue that was blonde by summer’s end you may have the skin tone to pull off those light locks. Think about regular maintenance, though. Blonde hair must be taken care of and touched up more frequently, depending on the shade of your natural hair color.

If you’re thinking red…

Almost anyone can pull off red hair. The trick is in the specific hue of red. To find a red that fits perfectly with your skin tone, have a personalized consultation with one of our Salon 01 stylists! They will formulate a red individually for you.

If you’re thinking brunette…

Typically, if you are not naturally blonde, brown hair upkeep is fairly easy. This is a good choice for people that would rather not spend too much time fussing over colored hair. A tip from Marie Claire {To maximize the impact of your chocolaty color, go deeper and monotone if your hair is nearly all one length. If it's shorter or very layered, make the ends slightly lighter, and weave in high- and lowlights to emphasize the texture of the cut. }

EXTENSIONS: ARE THEY RIGHT FOR YOU? Thinking long hair could be right for you?

Salon 01 has a Dream Team made up of specially trained stylists in HairDreams hair extensions.

Hairdreams has been a worldwide leading provider of real, human hair extensions for many years. The Hairdreams philosophy includes a strict quality orientation. Only absolutely healthy, thoroughly tested hair passes the stringent Hairdreams quality control process and is subsequently gently refined. The result: excellent hair quality which, in the meantime, has become the Hairdreams “trademark”.

Proof of this outstanding quality is the Hairdreams guarantee of faultless hair appearance during the entire wearing period. The prerequisite is simply maintenance and necessary care measures and the regular aftercare at your Hairdreams salon..

Hairdreams works with leading stylists around the world, including many top stylists in metropolises such as Milan, Paris, or New York, who regularly style celebrities, actresses, singers and models with hair from Hairdreams. Every Hairdreams stylist is intensively trained by an experienced educator and regularly takes continuing education to keep up with the latest application techniques.

To learn more about the hair extension process or to book an appointment with a member of the Salon 01 Dream Team, call 317-580-0101.

HEAVY METAL It’s a great look, when it’s done right. Other times, a metallic eye shadow can look flaky, or even too outdated. Instead of passing on this trend all together, though, take our advice for applying the perfect metal shade for you.

Step One - Sweep the shadow of your choice across your lids, being sure to stay below the brow bones.

Step Two - Lightly line your eyes with a black eye pencil. Use more pressure at the outer corners to really make eyes pop.

Step Three - Brighten up the inner corners by dabbing a lighter shadow.

For more makeup tips and trends, visit one of Salon 01’s estheticians! Call 580-0101 to book your consultation today.

2014 Stepped Pyramid of Djoser (photo by Don Knebel)

‘The Pyramids’ Stepping-stones’ Commentary by Don Knebel

COMING IN MARCH! Current Publishing’s special section on March 18 will clue in readers in 108,133 households in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville exactly how to maxmize on the change of seasons. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to reach the most-coveted audience anywhere in Indiana.

Egypt’s larger-than-life pyramids continue to generate speculation about their origins, ranging from the extraterrestrial to the travel supernatural. Even the Egyptians once posited a divine explanation.

The stepped pyramid at Saqqara shows that the real story is closer to Earth.

Believing that souls live on after death, Egyptians initially buried their important dead and their possessions in underground tombs covered by “mastabas.” Mastabas, made first of mud bricks and then of stones, were solid, flat-topped structures up to 30 feet high with gradually sloping sides. A passage to a special chamber inside allowed priests and family members to bring offerings to the person buried below for use in the afterlife.

In about 2650 B.C., Imhotep, the palace architect of Pharaoh Djoser, came up with a new idea for his boss’s tomb at Saqqara, the burial ground serving the capital at Memphis. He covered the underground tomb with six stacked mastabas of diminishing size, creating a stepped pyramid made entirely of stone. For designing what was then the largest stone structure ever built, Imhotep was later worshipped as a god.

Seeing the stepped pyramid, Pharaoh Snefru

ordered that his pyramid eliminate the steps and support his tomb above the ground so it would be closer to the sun god. About two-thirds of the way to the apex, engineers had to reduce the angle of inclination from 55 to 43 degrees to eliminate stability problems created by the internal tomb chamber. The result was the socalled “bent pyramid.” On the next try, Snefru’s engineers started with a 43-degree angle and succeeded in creating the first “true pyramid,” with smooth sides and a constant angle. This so-called “red pyramid” may contain still-secret passages leading to the undiscovered mummy of Snefru. Using Snefru’s model, his son Khufu took the pyramid-building art to its pinnacle in the Great Pyramid of Giza, still the most massive structure ever built.

No little green men, no magical powers, no unsolvable mysteries. Egypt’s pyramid builders drew on past successes, learned from earlier mistakes and achieved lasting greatness. That is the real secret of the pyramids.

Creating a comfortable kitchen in a walk-out basement

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

Existing kitchen: This home located on a secluded lot overlooking Morse Reservoir was no longer suited to blueprint for the way the homeimprovement owner lived. “I began making the walk-out basement more of my living space. The kitchen there was closed and non-functional. I wanted to create a comfortable and cozy space, a place where you want to come in and sit down.”

Hickory cabinets: The design reflected the natural surroundings. “The designer suggested natural hickory cabinets,” stated the owner. “I didn’t want a contemporary or modern look.”

The cabinets gave the natural farmhouse feel the owner was looking for. The existing drywall bulkheads were removed, allowing for a more open feel. New exhaust fan ductwork was concealed in the ceiling for the new microwave.

Island as contrast: To create a contrast for the natural cabinetry, the island is stained in an espresso finish. Black Pearl granite in a leather finish also provides contrast from the White Persia granite on the perimeter cabinetry. Seating for four makes the island the true center of the kitchen.

Farmhouse look: The farmhouse look was continued in the details as well. “I have always wanted a farmhouse sink,” stated the home-

Final details: New appliances in black and matte stainless steel were installed, as well as a wine refrigerator and under-cabinet lighting. Updated storage solutions were also part of the final design, including a mixer lift, a built-in spice rack and double-layered utensil drawers. Finally, new 6-inch-wide hand-scraped maple engineered hardwood flooring was installed over the concrete slab.

owner. A plate rack was installed over the sink and glass doors in a few of the wall cabinets. An oil-rubbed bronze finish on the cabinet hardware and faucet provides a hint of copper that compliments the natural hickory. Copper pendant lights complete the feel.
