Here is Jaden’s winning essay: Teacher of the Month The second trimester at Westfield High School didn’t start too long ago, and as a freshman, it has been a different experience for me. I’m still not used to only five classes with longer time lengths. I lose my focus in that long of a timespan, but Mr. Wade has helped me tremendously. Mr. Wade never fails to make class interesting. English has never been too hard for me, and I never really liked English, but Mr. Wade has changed that. He makes me enjoy English and have fun in school. I have learned so much in his class,

and it has only been a few weeks. Mr. Wade deserves Teacher of the Month for his humor, positivity and sheer intelligence.

As the Valentines flowers begin to droop their heads, wilting…and the heart-shaped boxes of chocolates are slowly consumed…it may seem as though the spirit of Valentine’s Day is over; however, love may still be in the air. Cupid’s arrows may have struck a few unsuspecting hearts during this past holiday season of love. But what if the owners of those hearts are currently going through a divorce? There are so many questions to be asked during the divorce process, but one that might not be as expected is: When is it okay to begin dating again, especially if I have children?

As divorce attorneys, we are commonly asked for a permissible timeframe within which clients may begin seeing someone new. As with many questions posed to family law attorneys, the answer to this is specific to the individual and their matter at hand. The choice to begin dating is a personal one and only that individual knows when the “time is right”. There is no correct legal answer or Court Order restricting divorcing parents from dating. While it is not “illegal” to date during your divorce (or thereafter), there are some practical considerations you may want to consider if you are contemplating a new relationship, especially if you have children.

When should my children meet the new person in my life? If children are involved, you may consider withholding the introduction of this new person to your children until the relationship becomes serious. The changes and transitions children experience during and after their parents’ divorce can be difficult (even if the divorce is ultimately in their best interest) and this new relationship can be confusing depending, largely, upon the ages of the children.

Introducing your children to your new significant other(s) will likely

only confuse your them, and may even cause additional animosity between spouses during the ongoing divorce case.

Also, prior to introducing a new person into your children’s life, you must remember that his/her character, family, and history can sometimes play roles in the Court’s determination of custody and parenting time in your divorce case, depending upon this person’s involvement and relationship with your children. Utilizing the “best interest of the child” factors, the Court will be interested in your new significant other, as he/she will help shape and impact your children’s environment going forward.

Looking forward, if you do decide to begin dating again, either during a divorce or thereafter, you may be wise to consider a prenuptial agreement, if the relationship becomes serious. As we enter into an era where “happily ever afters” take a few tries; why not ensure and protect your children, in case divorce does occurs.

Since prenuptial agreements allow for the freedom to carefully fashion and navigate through the structure of separation through open communication, you will no longer find yourself with the harsh realities of divorce and at the mercy of Indiana equitable distribution laws.

The Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding, prenuptial agreements, divorce, relocation, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Which Wich Operations Partner Todd Williams said that a need for restaurant employees originates from a lack of public transportation. (Submitted photo)

‘Lack of public transportation leads to lack of employees’

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield’s growth has resulted in a commercial and restaurant industry boom, but Westfield resident and Which hiring Wich Operations Partner Todd Williams said that creates staffing problems. Williams owns the Carmel, IUPUI, Fishers and Keystone at the Crossing Which Wiches, and he wants to bring one to Westfield as part of the Trails Planned Unit Development.

Public transportation stops at 96th Street, and Williams said if it fed further into Hamilton County, local restaurants wouldn’t have a staff shortage.

Williams said that while driving on Ind. 32 in Westfield, he saw nine businesses with “Now Hiring” signs.

“When you look at that, they’re all restaurants that don’t employ servers. This is an employee base that’s getting paid $8, $10, maybe $12 dollars an hour, and at that rate, it becomes much more difficult for a business model to hire somebody in that price range,” Williams said. “You, as a guest or customer, have an expectation to go through a drivethru and get in and out relatively quickly, but if you don’t have the staff to take care of that,

you get upset as a guest. What do people in Westfield really want? We all talk about it. We want great restaurants, and all these other things specifically with regards to restaurants. You can see it building, but our demographic can’t handle it.”

Williams said if public transportation was widespread, employees living in Indianapolis could easily commute to Hamilton County.

“We have to take care of some kind of public transportation to allow the employee base to get here and/or we have to look at affordable housing,” Williams said. “There’s no affordable housing up here for that demographic.”

Williams said he understands the fear of Section 8 Housing or other options to allow for that demographic to reside in Hamilton County, but that he believes something must be done. Other public transportation options, such as Uber or Lyft, might not be viable for employees on limited wages.

“I’m one of those guys looking to come here, and my biggest worry is labor,” Williams said.

“I know the revenues here, so the reality is my answer to that (fear of government housing) is it’s part of our growth. It just is. If we want the things we want, how are we going to staff that? Where are they going to come from?”

Companies talk culture at event

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Retaining employees starts in a company’s culture, according to Jamie Mazepa. The Centier Bank chamber of commerce recruiter explained to attendees at this month’s Coffee with the Chamber event that company values are essential.

“I think it starts in our values,” Mazepa said of the family owned bank’s success over the past 120 years. “(The values) hold on to me.

They are caring, loyalty, integrity, friendship and fun. That is the most important part of who we are as a family owned business, and it has been this culture since day one.”

There are approximately 50 Centier branches statewide.

“We’re expanding whereas a lot of banks are closing their doors,” Mazepa said. “We are finding new ways to get customers. Once you take care of your associates, they take care of the customers. We base everything around our associates.”

Mazepa stressed that a successful business culture begins from the top down. Assistant branch manager of the Westfield branch Travis Cearlock said employees enjoy being

“Management allows us to be our own, and each employee really values that,” Cearlock said.

Margie Wilson and Shelly Hoffman, director of sales for Diverse Staffing, also spoke on impacting a business’s staff.

“Sometimes, I think it’s harder to keep your culture relevant because small businesses sometimes have a lot of politics and impacts you differently than large businesses,” Hoffman said. “We want something to impact the individual. If you don’t create the right culture for associates, you won’t have people walking through your door. We really do live out the concept and idea of treating people the way you want to be treated.”

Providing a Place

COMMUNITY Westfield Young Life group gives kids belonging, celebrates 10 years

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Young Life is a faith-based organization, but Westfield Area Director Sarah Kjeldsen said that’s not the first thing the group imprints on the kids involved.

Cover story “We’re outreach, so we want people to know everyone is welcome. Our goal is to share Jesus, but you won’t find that written on our shirts,” said Kjeldsen, who has been area director since September. “We are not trying to compete with youth group. We want to reach kids that don’t have a place to belong already and haven’t heard that we believe (they’re) created by God and that He loves (them).

“We talk all about adolescence and trying to figure out who you are, do you belong. Our goal is to make a safe environment for kids to ask those questions.”

Young Life was integrated into Westfield 10 years ago, but it has been active nationwide since 1941. Local parents realized its impact and wanted to bring it to the Westfield community.

Kids participate in various ways – during clubs once a week at the Village Farms Clubhouse and through a Bible study called Campaigners, or during a weeklong summer camp.

“Camp is meant to be the best week of your life,” Kjeldsen said. “We believe that knowing God is life to the full, and we want the camp experience to be life to the full. Dinner is family style. Our leaders from Westfield go to camp with the kids and come home with them, too, and continue to be in their lives, whereas a lot of camps you meet a counselor for a week, then go home.”

Kids fundraise themselves for the camp, generally raising between $700-$900 each to attend, depending on the camp location.

“Our belief is the whole thing that makes Young Life work is really great leaders,” Kjeldsen said. “Our ministry is more about the relationship with a leader, so that you have this consistent person in your life that’s mentoring you as well.”

Kjeldsen originally served as a volunteer for the organization while teaching English at Westfield High School for nine years. In January 2015, she left to become a staff member at Young Life.

An annual fundraising event will be held March 14 to celebrate the local entity’s decade of involvement and raise funds for the organization’s mission. The goal, Kjeldsen said, is to provide adults in the community with a Young Life experience.

The event is free. Check-in begins at 6:30 p.m. at IMMI Conference Center, 18881 IMMI Way. Dinner is provided and Jon Houghton will present. Houghton is the regional director of the Chicago area and previously served as area director for Carmel.

City Barbecue is catering, and donations are requested at the event.

“The purpose of the fundraising dinner is to try to have people experience what Young Life is all about and not just hear about it,” Kjeldsen said. “We have adults in the community experience Young Life and ask for financial assistance because we can only do this on local support.”

Attire is casual, and there will be a Big Ten basketball theme.

more outreach In addition to Young Life, which targets high school students, the organization established Wyldlife for grades six through eight, and Vida Joven, which is Spanish for Young Life, approximately five years ago to strengthen its outreach.

“Wyldlife’s purpose is we know that students face a lot more in middle school now than a few years ago as far as access to the world,” Westfield Area Director Sarah Kjeldesen said. “We saw a need for middle school kids with the same questions high school students have and are now getting

exposed to so much more.”

As far as Vida Joven, Kjeldsen said she and her team realized that the Hispanic population at the high school lacked involvement in clubs or after-school activities. That club, the same age as Young Life, meets after school to avoid transportation issues. It serves as a bridge to attract minority students to Young Life. Vida Joven and Young Life members participate together in all special events.

A little rest for the weary

AN O THER VIEWP O INT

Music icon one for ages Long before I had the tremendous opportunity to interview jazz, rhythm and blues and pop legend Al Jarreau, I was a fan of his musical genius. My favorites among his albums are Jarreau (1983) and High Crime (1984). While maintaining a vigorous performing schedule through 2016, Jarreau left it all on stage for his fans. I attended two Al Jarreau concerts, the most recent in 2014 at The Palladium.

It was after that performance when I last spoke with Jarreau. Between that and an interview, which was a three-part conversation over three days, Jarreau was a genuine delight – positive and upbeat, even when discussing challenges he faced. Al Jarreau died Feb. 12, in Los Angeles, one month before his 77th birthday. Calling Jarreau versatile and energetic would be obvious and terribly understated. Yet triteness prevails when attempting to describe the five-time Grammy winner, who, even after surgery in 2000, still exhibited boundless energy, whether discussing his charitable work with Verizon Reads, autographing his latest CD and posing for pictures with a seemingly endless line of fans and well-wishers, or reading to inner-city school children. Getting Jarreau to sit down long enough for an interview proved challenging but well worth the effort one day in 2004 at a Washington D.C. bookstore. During his appearance, Jarreau entertained an intimate group of nearly 100 with stories, impromptu scats and his sense of humor. He loved his audiences, and they loved him back. Jarreau, indeed, was an American treasure, thoroughly expert at his craft and engaging with everyone he encountered.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Of this, that and the clutter Commentary by Terry Anker The spectacular weather led many of us to get outside and take advantage of it. With the calendar reminding that we have many weeks left of potential winter, it is too soon to do traditional spring projects like clearing the flower beds. So, our family took it to get a solid start on the ritual seasonal purging of our garage. Through the fall and winter months, it piles with assorted “treasures” – those things that have been deemed unworthy of an on-going place inside the house and yet too valuable, in some indecipherable way, to be put into the trash. Each spring, we find the resolve to shed ourselves of the accumulated debris – some to sell, some to friends or family, some to charity and some to the Dumpster.

There is a decided cathartic effect in moving an item from one place to another, on its journey out of our lives. We accumulate all manner of goods (books for our children, dresses for special days, trinkets from our travels) and hold them long after they have

fulfilled their purpose. Our youngest, now 16, is more “Car & Driver” than “Nursery Rhymes.” At some point, long ago, his favorite books made it from the bedside table to a box in his closet. This winter break, he took occasion to empty the closet of non-essential gear to make room for the expected Christmas bounty. The children’s books, which had previously been imbued with some unknown significance, were deemed surplus (happily, he kept a few).

Ultimately departing his room, they landed in a corner of the garage. Like river sediment, the books were stacked with other stuff and lost from sight. Today, they were unearthed and reconsidered. Tomorrow, they head to Goodwill. It takes time to distinguish clutter from prized possession. It feels good to know the difference.

I’m not going to lie, people. I’m having one heck of a good weekend. Doo and I decided to take advantage of my parhumor ents’ snowbirding agenda and snagged a few days with them in their Florida rental. No kids, no shoes, and most importantly, no responsibilities whatsoever. Heaven, my dear friends. HEAVEN. But I find myself struggling to slow down. I woke up this morning and nearly hopped out of bed just so I could get to the beach. Then I realized it was only 5:30 a.m. I had to mentally talk myself into staying put and enjoying the next few hours of dozing. Once I did finally arise, I again had to squelch the need to get moving. What’s the hurry when the only thing planned is an early dinner and Jeopardy?

Which just goes to reinforce my dream of retiring early, a few months on the Gulf Coast, days spent working jigsaw puzzles and playing bingo and evenings passed with microwaved potatoes and game shows. Believe me when I say I was made for the geriatric lifestyle.

But I digress. Back to me and my inability to slow the frick down. I suppose it’s a survival mechanism. I have to constantly be “on it” at home or else my youngest will be abandoned at dance or the dog won’t be fed, or God forbid, we’ll run out of milk. Juggling work, family and the house is so mentally and physically taxing that I simply don’t have time to let my guard down. And because I’ve been in high gear for years now, I often operate on full power subconsciously. Which, come to think of it, is probably why I never feel rested in the morning.

The real bugger is that by the time I adjust to the slower pace, my brief vacay will be over and I’ll be right back in the mix, having to pay the Catch-up Piper for my few moments of heaven. But even a small slice is worth it!

Peace out.

I imbrace (embrace?) editing Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Happy 15th (fifteenth?) anniversary to Heidi. Heidi is my proofreader (proof-reader?).

Everything I’ve written for the humor last 15 (fifteen?) years is first sent to her via e-mail (email?) to make sure there are no spelling or usage errors. This week she is very busy with an out of town (out-of-town?) commitment, so I’m doing my own proofing. If I said I wasn’t nervous, well that would be a bald-faced (boldfaced?) lie.

Newspapers that publish my column have editors who check my work, but I wouldn’t want whoever (whomever?) has that responsibility to think that on a week to week (week-to-week?) basis, I’m not a careful writer. I would be really embarrassed if they continually (continuously?) found mistakes in my column, so Heidi is a preventative (preventive?) measure to be sure I get it right.

I know a little about grammar, but when it comes to some of the other nuances of language, I’m not sure I can pass muster (mustard?). If I have specific questions, I might check things out on the internet (Internet?). I wouldn’t want to put my column on my website (Website? Web site?) if it weren’t errorfree (error free?).

Unless you have your own personal copy editor (copyeditor?), you won’t know if you’re in the mood for an ice tea or an iced tea. Or maybe some French fries (French Fries? french fries?). And when you get to the airport, you won’t know whether (if?) you should check your carry-on luggage or your carryon luggage.

Heidi gives me free reign (rein? range?) with my creative ideas. And she is always consistent. That’s the kind of person I can depend on (upon?). She may be the best proofer in the mid-west (Mid-West? midwest? Midwest?).

Some writers prefer a hands-off approach to their work, but I really need her help. I like it when she hones (homes?) in on my mistakes. I don’t mind if she splits hairs (hares?).

Few people know all the do’s and don’ts (dos and don’t’s?) of the language. I’ve had discussions among (between?) a great number (amount?) of writers and they all agree you need a person like Heidi, although your ego can sometimes get quashed (squashed?).

Yes, I really need her. Even my wife, Mary Ellen (Mary-Ellen? Maryellen?), agrees.

REA D ER ’ S VIEW Quality Crossroads of America Editor, Our state and local roads and bridges touch the lives of most Hoosiers nearly every day and hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. What better statement to make to our taxpayers and our guests than Indiana takes care of our largest asset in an efficient and quality manner, by taking care of our infrastructure? To all a statement is made: If the state and local governments are properly taking care of what I can see, they must be taking care of what I can’t see.

Due to our central location in the contiguous United States and the large presence of the logistical industry, Indiana can and must be a national leader in providing top-quality infrastructure. Well-planned highway improvements can show a huge return on investment.

In Westfield, INDOT recently invested nearly $250 million in upgrading U.S. 31 to freeway status. In the year 2016, Westfield had more than $330M in residential and commercial building permits issued. At least a large part of the nearly two-year doubling of this figure was a result of the U.S. 31 project. This just

goes to show you how important investment in roadways is to attracting residents and businesses to a community.

Our investment must be adequately maintained. You don’t purchase a new vehicle and then fail to regularly change the oil. Last winter, roads were in such disrepair that “Rough Pavement” signs had to be placed along several stretches of I-65 between Lebanon and Lafayette.

Local governments must not be forgotten in this discussion. It costs the City of Westfield approximately $10,000 per mile to properly maintain, patch, sign, mow and plow a mile of roadway. Our current income from various sources is about $5,000 per mile.

I ask that our legislature adequately fund, in a sustainable manner, our state and local roadways. Raising taxes is not fun – I know from experience. But neglecting our obligations is much worse in the long run for the future of our state. Benefit to our roads, and to Hoosier communities, will serve as an ongoing testament to the decisive action taken now.

‘The Homecoming’ brings film industry close to home

By Heather Collins • editorial@youarecurrent.com A group of local filmmakers are proving Indiana can indeed be a part of film culture, with the making of a local short film “The Homecoming.” The film crew includes writer, producer and cinematographer Dan Cavallini of Noblesville, movies producer and writer Bruce Northern of Geist and director Mark Nash of Carmel.

“It’s about going home to tend to old wounds, and the wounds weren’t what you thought they were,” Cavallini said of the film.

According to Nash, Indiana doesn’t offer special tax incentives, and therefore doesn’t have the infrastructure, for film crews and companies to benefit from filming in Indiana.

Nash cited “The Fault in Our Stars” as a prime example of how Indiana is missing out on film revenue. “The Fault in Our Stars” was filmed in Pennsylvania with a set built to replicate Indianapolis.

“We’re trying to connect something here where folks can stay in the state and keep the money here,” Nash said. “We’ve made this film as a good example that we can make good films with quality actors here in Indiana.”

The cast and crew consists of members of the Screen Actors Guild and the Indiana Filmmakers Network. “The Home-

coming” showcases the acting debut of Nash’s two stepsons as well as a cameo by his veteran-actress wife, Shani Salyers Stiles.

Songbook winner Yokom to make ATI debut

The film’s score was created by Virgil Franklin, assistant professor of audio recording and production at Vincennes University, and includes the original song “Temporary” by Slaid Cleaves, an Austin-based singer-songwriter.

“This film taught me the joy of collaboration,” Northern said.

The majority of “The Homecoming” was filmed in Indianapolis.

“The reason I wanted to get involved and help produce this film is because it not only includes a phenomenal cast and crew, but proves that Indiana has the talent and strong work ethic that it takes to make a great film come together,” “The Homecoming” film producer Amy Pauszek said. “This film was made locally and it was amazing to see how the community of Lawrence supported it. We recently posted our movie trailer on various social media sites and everyone loved it. People often ask what happens next after a film is finished. Our next step for ‘Homecoming’ is to enter it into the very best film festivals, not just locally but also to film festivals around the world. This is a way for others to experience a well-written, heartfelt story and see the incredible work by all who are involved. I’m proud to be a part of this amazing short film and am so honored to be surrounded by actors, crewmembers and friends who strive to educate and inspire others through art and film.”

Pure perfection. That’s what I felt after seeing the world premiere of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s outstanding production of “The Black Dahlia.” These professional dancers gave powerful performances that kept the audience engaged and included it in a ‘pop up’ dance, clapping and a singa-long. Guests also were treated to a delicious spread of crackers, cheese and fruit donated by local sponsors. The story revolves around the notorious unsolved Hollywood murder of Elizabeth Short in 1947. “The Black Dahlia” was a skillfull collaboration between Artistic Director Gregory Hancock and the dancers of GHDT. I truly was mesmerized by the dancing, beautifully detailed costumes and the smokey, swanky bar set and lighting design. Hancock presented a mysterious atmosphere with a ‘who done it’ feel. I am still wondering who did murder “The Black Dahlia.” Trust me, the show was truly outstanding and I can’t stop thinking about the performance because it was indeed pure perfection. If you missed it, be sure to get your tickets to see GHDT’s masterpiece “Superhero,” the compelling and poignant portrayal of a man who changed history. “Superhero” comes to The Tarkington April 14-15, and Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you there.

Blueprint for Improvement: 1970s main level remodel Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to design a kitchen with better work flow and cosmetically update the adjoining spaces.

1. In the kitchen, a pantry was removed to create a designated space for the refrigerator and a beverage station. Below the beverage station is a drawer that houses dog bowls that can be hidden away when not in use.

2. Bulkheads and low ceilings were removed to visually open up the kitchen and create more cabinet space.

3. The kitchen island was created to be as functional as possible. It houses a drawer for trash bins as well as designated locations for appliances.

4. The living room now has custom built-ins and an updated fireplace surround.

5. The powder bath now features a tile accent wall that really gives the space the style it was lacking before.

Before Background Info: This 1970s home in the Brookshire neighborhood in Carmel was in need of many functional and aesthetic updates.

Before problems: The owners were looking for design strategies to develop more functionality in their home and meet their stylistic needs. Their kitchen had low 8-feet ceilings and unpractical functionality. Their family room lacked personality and the powder bath was dated.

Church of the Beatitudes near Capernaum, Israel. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Church of the Beatitudes Commentary by Don Knebel The Church of the Beatitudes, located above the north shore of Israel’s Sea of Galilee, remembers Jesus’ Sermon on the travel Mount, among the most famous sermons in history. The church is named for the Beatitudes in that sermon, eight statements beginning with the word “Blessed.”

The Bible does not indicate where the Sermon on the Mount was given beyond saying that Jesus “went up on a mountainside.”

In about 380 A.D., Egeria, a Spanish pilgrim, wrote a report on her trip to the Holy Land in which she claimed to have identified the hill on which Jesus preached, and another area in which he fed 5,000 people from five loaves of bread and two fish. Based on Elgeria’s description, the Byzantines built a church honoring the Sermon on the Mount on the side of a hill once known as Mt. Eremos, just west of Capernaum.

In the 1930s, the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary asked Italian

dictator Benito Mussolini to help them build a new church above the ruins of the Byzantine church. Mussolini, who had been baptized late in life and needed the Church to support his regime, agreed. Mussolini commissioned Antonio Barluzzi, an Italian Franciscan monk who had become famous for designing churches in the Holy Land, to design what became known as the Church of the Beatitudes. The church was constructed between 1936 and 1938 and features a Byzantine-style dome with gold mosaic and eight marble sides symbolizing the eight Beatitudes. The church is set among gardens and trees and provides a magnificent view of the Sea of Galilee and the fertile Plain of Gennesaret. In March 2000, Pope John Paul II celebrated mass at the church, speaking to a crowd assembled on the hillside below just as they might have been at the time of Jesus.
