Wood Wind Golf Club to remain open during construction

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Golfers and new Westfield residents may notice some changes at Wood Wind Golf Club this year.

Jeff Cohoat said IMPROVEMENTS since Cohoat and O’Neal Management Corp. became owners of the golf course in December 2018, they have invested heavily in course improvements. Cohoat and O’Neal Management Corp. had managed the course since 2011 before purchasing it.

The new owners have also invested in new facilities and renovations, such as an irrigation system, a new pump house, new paint on the clubhouse, new flooring and new windows, among other upgrades.

In addition to facility improvements, homes will soon be built around the golf course. A proposal by Paul Rioux, owner of Platinum Properties, passed through Westfield City Council in January 2018 that permits homes to be built around the golf course. Cohoat said 60 of the 170 lots are in, and home construction will begin this spring.

Cohoat said the golf course will remain open during construction. Eventually, two of the holes will be moved to facilitate for home construction.

“We will always have 18 holes available to play. With the new construction already started, 60 lots are in, the two new holes have been cut in. They’ll be seeded and grow out all of 2019 without being used,” Cohoat said. “Depending on lot sales, they’ll come in

to take out the two holes on the golf course in the next year or two.”

Cohoat said work won’t start on the golf course until ownership is comfortable the two new holes can be used.

The development will be split into two sections, Northwind and Southwind, and will offer new residents a social membership to the club. Wood Wind Golf Club, 2302 W. 161st St., also will remain open to the public.

“The new residents of the golf course community will have a social membership to the club, that’s part of their deal, but (the course) is also open to the public. The public can come in at-large and procure a membership,” Cohoat said.

In addition, Wood Wind Golf Club will focus more on women’s play this year. It also will add Golf Channel Academy’s Colby Huffman as the new director of instruction.

“We are going to really be focusing a lot more on women’s play out here as well,” PGA Head Golf Professional Elliot Eldridge said.

“We are enacting a Tuesday night working women’s league in the evenings, and hopefully, we are going to get a nice group of ladies coming out just for fun.”

“It’s important that the public knows that Wood Wind Golf Club, now that it is under Cohoat and O’Neal as owners, is able to spend some money, and it is our goal to make it the best public golf course in the state of Indiana. We are excited to maintain Westfield’s only public golf course,” Cohoat said.

Spoljaric to seek third term on city council

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Incumbent Cindy Spoljaric is seeking reelection for a third term on the Westfield City Council. She filed her ELECTION candidacy for one of the two at-large seats in early January.

Spoljaric, a Republican and the only female candidate, said the council needs diversity.

“There is so much to be done, so I feel a need to Spoljaric be there to represent the citizenry,” she said.

Spoljaric said she wants to be the voice of citizens on the council.

“I have heard from so many people, and there is such diverse interests,” she said “People still want the same things, and I want to ensure that’s what they get.”

Spoljaric, who is known for occassionally breaking with the council on major issues, said she is not a “rubber stamp.”

Spoljaric has a bachelor’s degree in public affairs and holds a master’s degree in urban planning from Indiana University.

“I do my homework, read every word and do extra research,” she said. “I’m probably one of the most active members of council on social media.”

If re-elected, one of Spoljaric’s priorities is to revisit the city’s comprehensive plan.

“That plan hasn’t fully addressed the rest of the community. We need to all come back

In its second year in 2018, the WHS Dance Marathon more than doubled its inaugural amount by raising $73,325.41. (Submitted photo)

Third Dance Marathon nearly doubles donations, raises more than $88,000 for Riley Hospital for Children

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Continuing its committment to raising money for Riley Hospital for Children, Westfield High School COVER STORY recently held its third Dance Marathon. The annual event is part of the national Miracle Network Dance Marathon that has raised more than $250 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since 1991.

In Indiana, high school Dance Marathons partner with a nearby college, which combine funds to donate to Riley. WHS’ marathon is a partnership with IUPUI. This year, the marathon was Feb. 15 and netted $88,158.62 from 1,122 donors, nearly double the number of donors from last year’s event. WHS Dance Marathon president and senior Abi Gift said the difference was the way students raised money — primarily by encouraging donations during the actual marathon.

“This year, we really worked on engaging our participants while they were actually at our event,” Gift said. “This event, we were working more with them on fundraising during the event and reminding them it was a fundraiser, and even though they were there to have fun and have a great time, it was also to raise money for (Riley).

“We came up with lots of creative ways

to get them involved.”

Innovations included a game where Riley patients tagged event participants, who were then required to stay in “jail” for five minutes, or until they texted or called someone and received a donation. To get out of jail, they also had to ask at least one person for a donation.

“It was a fun way to get the Riley kids involved and have participants more involved in something,” Gift said.

The first year, WHS Dance Marathon raised just more than $36,000. It more than doubled the figure in 2018 with $73,325.41.

Gift said the event is mutually beneficial

for student organizers and pediatric hospital patients.

“The amazing thing about Dance Marathon, especially at the high school level, is it’s almost completely student-run, which is pretty insane we can put something on like that with just high school students running it,” she said. “We plan everything from food to games. We plan for all the bands that sing, all the activities we do.”

At this year’s callout meeting, Gift said approximately 200 students attended. Approximately 100 were actively involved in conducting the event.

In its first year, WHS Dance Marathon sought input from Carmel High School, whose well-known Dance Marathon is affiliated with Indiana University. Topics included how to add security through the use of police officers and what activities to offer.

Although it’s still fairly new, the WHS Dance Marathon seems to be keeping pace with CHS compared to where CHS Dance Marathon was when it launched 14 years ago.

In 2005, CHS raised $35,411.49, a bit less than WHS’s first year. But CHS’s fundraising has exploded since then. IU Dance Marathon’s website states CHS has the largest fundraising high school Dance Marathon in the nation. At its 2018 event, CHS raised $453,395.06.

WHS faculty advisor Sarah Gibbs sees the

possibility of Westfield’s Dance Marathon fundraising eventually rivaling Carmel’s.

“I believe we have great potential to grow like Carmel has over time. There is an incredible amount of generosity in our community,” she said.

WHS Dance Marathon continues to grow in terms Gibbs of dollars raised, student involvement and donor turnout. Next year, Gibbs said she hopes to find a group of students as passionate as this year’s team.

“My hope is that success breeds excitement, so my plan is to find another exec council who will be as motivated and driven as this year’s group was,” she said. “That way, their excellent leadership can set the tone for even more involvement throughout our school and community next year. We had awesome leaders this year.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Do the math

Green New Deal needed for climate

Commentary by Terry Anker Our daily lives are overflowing with data. Yet, in a somewhat alarming development, most of us are more confused than ever. How do we make sense of the competing, incongruent and often intentionally open-ended assertions in which modern society finds itself steeped? How do those “in-theknow” arrive at their assumptions?

How do they use the information to find their assertion of outcome?

The challenge here is that most talking heads foist upon the unsuspecting and willing public equations of “how to fix the world” with too many unknown variables. Every eighth-grade math student will tell you that such cannot be resolved.

First, one must know which elements are required, then conform to a definition for each, and finally determine a specific outcome that we might hope to reach if we solve the equation.

For others to understand our thinking, one must begin from a place that assumes the position of the listener, not the speaker. If the listener does not have enough information, wouldn’t it require that the speaker include it in the originating message?

One should identify all the variables and then, in time, solve each before turning in the assignment.

Understandably, some don’t want to do the homework. They push the problem-solving responsibility off to the reader. Open-ended equations invite further interrogatory and leave too much to assumption.

If we were to review our messages in advance of sending them from the perspective of the reader, how much could we improve our communication? And, if we spent a bit more time on designing the equation before attempting to solve it, would we get to better outcomes?

Sweet dreams aren’t made of this Commentary by Danielle Wilson I don’t know what is going on inside my head lately. I had a dream last night that went from my grappling with HUMOR a personal case of head lice while babysitting a couple of pre-teen strangers to me at a parade where deceased friends and family were stopping to say hello.

I didn’t awake until the zombie horde forced a semi off a bridge next to where I was standing. I asked my husband Doo what he thought these visions meant, and he responded with a short monologue of Sigmund Freud emphatically telling him to “Get out. NOW.” Hilarious.

Doo also reminded me that I had left a bathroom drawer open, wide enough so that when he stumbled in this morning, he clocked his left thigh so hard he now has a noticeable bruise. I vaguely recall rummaging for Advil around 4 a.m. while peering through a window to determine if a tornado

was afoot. I guess the screaming wind and the dead-people visits distracted me from closing up shop, so to speak.

All this is to say that clearly I have too much on my plate, at least subconsciously.

As I type, I am mentally listing today’s “chores” along with work and family “stuff” that needs to be addressed in the near future. But what’s a mom to do? Ignore parenting, wife-ing, teaching, cleaning, managing, shopping, disciplining, exercising, planning, living altogether?

I’m certain the spicy food and the devil/ vampire shows aren’t helping, but in my defense, have you watched “Lucifer” yet?

Terrible, but oddly alluring. So, I’ll just have to deal with the crazy dreams and hope life settles soon. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.”

– St. Catherine of Siena

Editor, I’m a senior, age 71. I probably won’t be around when the worst effects of climate change take effect but my children and especially my three grandchildren will be.

However, climate change is happening here and now - and for them, I’m terrified.

The latest climate report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN) says we have approximately 12 years to transform our economy to preserve the stable climate human civilization has depended on for millennia. As a retired scientist myself, this is not some BS dreamed up by wild-eyed liberals and elitists. We need a massive mobilization of every sector of society on par with what science and justice demand.

A Green New Deal will keep Americans safe from climate change and create millions of green jobs. Indiana is already a leader in green job creation in the Midwest. We can take our expertise and ingenuity and put it to great work for the planet. Other nations, including China and India, are rapidly moving in this direction. We must, too. The Green New Deal is a common-sense policy that is already popular with the American people, regardless of political party.

Steve Simon, Ph.D., Westfield

A different word for everything

Pamper Your Classic Car!

NOW OPEN

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I are going to South America this fall and we decided we both should learn a little Spanish. I ordered HUMOR some language CDs but was having serious problems memorizing the vocabulary, so I got a stack of sticky notes and labeled everything in the house, like the chair (la silla), the table (la mesa), the door (la puerta) and the mirror (el espejo).

In Spanish, nouns are identified as masculine or feminine. This confounded me in high school and accounted for my low grades. The teacher said I had some gender confusion, which was the last thing I needed to hear right before I asked Darla to the senior prom.

When Mary Ellen got home and saw the notes, she wasn’t happy, but she wasn’t as ticked off as our cat (el gato) Angel, who kept walking in circles because of the sticky note on her tail. Angel also was unhappy to learn that “el gato” is a masculine noun. I tried to explain to her that there wasn’t a neuter pronoun, but that brought back a lot of bad memories for her.

At breakfast, Mary Ellen and I compete

to see who is making the most progress, but we are using different learning aids, like when we took dancing lessons and we each had our own teacher. We were dynamite with our own instructors, but dreadful together.

I realized Mary Ellen was only memorizing expressions that had practical value for her on the trip, like, “Ricardo, quiero ir a una tienda con ropa exclusiva.” I later found out this meant: “I want to go shopping at an exclusive clothing store.”

My only retort was using words I learned the previous night: Mi elefante tiene dos hermanas (My elephant has two sisters).

I think my wife will be able to employ her language skills better than I will.

Mary Ellen and I have been having a lot of fun learning a new language. However, we do have one concern. In a happy marriage like ours, the phrase, “And what exactly is that supposed to mean?” should not be uttered in every conversation.

Sinus & Allergy Seminar

DISPATCHES Hands and feet always cold? — When your body senses a drop in external temperature, blood vessels in your extremities contract in order to redirect more blood to your trunk. This protects your organs by keeping them warm. To counteract this, stay well hydrated and increase your activity level to improve circulation.

New radiation technique — For patients with cancer of the left breast, radiation therapy can be dangerous because it exposes the heart and lungs to radiation. New research shows that holding one’s breath during radiation can push those organs out of the way and protect them. A machine assists with the process so the patient breathes properly.

Source: Practical Radiation Oncology Reduce arthritis pain naturally — Unlike many medical remedies for arthritis, these are safe and inexpensive. Give them a try to see if they work for you: 1. Tea – contains polyphenols that suppress arthritis inflammation 2. Vitamins C and D

3. Grapes and grape juice – contain resveratrol which suppresses inflammation 4. Taping – therapeutic taping has been proven to reduce symptoms. Have a physical therapist show you how to do it properly.

Before he owned SkyZone, Carmel resident Tom Holsworth said he and his wife Danielle often took their kids NEW BIZ there to play.

“I have four small children and they’re all active, and one of the things Danielle and I pride ourselves on is having fun with our kids, so we have been going to SkyZone for years, and I jump right with them,” Holsworth said. “It’s a big deal to us to be a part of our kids growing up. My kids love to go two to three times a week and jump for hours at a time. That’s the reason why I bought it, to be a part of my children’s growing up and be a part of their childhood.”

Holsworth owns the SkyZone in Fishers, 10080 E. 121st St. He also owns the new SkyZone in Westfield, which is slated to open at the northwest quadrant of Ind. 32 and Dartown Road before the end of the year.

SkyZone will occupy 40,000 square feet of a building it will share with Laser Flash.

“It (SkyZone) will have the latest technology there is out there. We will have some virtual-reality entertainment sections, we will have our mainstay, which is the dodgeball courts, trampolines and the stuff we already have now,” Holsworth said. “I think we are doing some really innovative technology on the (virtual reality) side that will be in the park. People will be really surprised how SkyZone has evolved from a trampoline park. There will be a lot of neat technological advances at the Westfield park that haven’t been seen before in any

park.”

In addition to providing a fun conduit for physical activity, SkyZone also offers a SkyZone Cares program in 71 schools, including some in Hamilton County.

“We provide services to kids who may not have the means to come to SkyZone,” Holsworth said. “So, if they read five books and they show that to their teacher, the teacher signs off and gives the kids a 30-minute jump pass to come for free.”

Holsworth credits much of SkyZone’s success to its staff.

“Obviously, SkyZone has had a great brand and reputation for a long time,” he said. “They were the innovators of the industry, and I think they still are. A key piece to that, obviously, is the people in Hamilton County, but I think another large part of that is the staff and the executive staff that run the park itself.”

DISPATCHES Tax filing help available — The Dept. of Revenue offers the Indiana free file (INfreefile) program, a no-cost electronic tax filing program for qualifying customers. INfreefile allows individuals with an adjusted gross income of $66,000 or less in 2018 to file their state and federal taxes for free. More information on INfreefile can be found at freefile.dor.in.gov. More information on free tax assistance can be found on the DOR’s website at dor.in.gov/4748.htm or by calling DOR Customer Service at 317-232-2240.

Erase huge capital gains taxes — Since most of the population has significantly less wealth than the current estate-tax exemption amount of $11,180,000, income-

and capital-gains tax planning has become more widely important than saving on estate taxes. And there’s a clever way that investors owning assets with significant appreciation might wipe out that appreciation — for tax purposes — and “reset” the basis in these assets so they never have to pay capital gains on the appreciation. The technique, in a nutshell, is to move those assets “upstream” by gifting them to a more senior-generation family member who does not have a large taxable estate, and then inheriting those assets back from this family member when he or she dies. This should be discussed with a qualified estateplanning adviser.

Swift, Green combine for jazz concert at The Tarkington

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It’s fitting that Veronica Swift combines musical forces with Benny Green.

Swift is the daughter CONCERT of late bebop pianist Hod O’Brien and jazz vocalist Stephanie Nakasian. Swift, 24, has been performing since she was 9 years old.

“Of course, it is a great honor to play with Benny Green, a bebop messenger and someone who possesses so much of the lineage at his fingers,” Swift said. “My dad and Benny toured together back in 2007 as part of the ‘100 Gold Fingers Tour,’ and since then I have been a fan of Benny’s.

I remember meeting him when I was around 12, and now getting to play with him, it’s like completing the circle “ Swift and the Benny Green Trio will perform at 8 p.m. March 8 at The Tarkington in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Green, a pianist and composer, has toured and recorded with jazz icons like Art Blakey, Ray Brown, Betty Carter and Freddie Hubbard. Green was a member of Blakey’s Jazz Messengers.

“What Benny and I do, and what I am known for is, of course, doing classics from the Great American Songbook and also bebop lines. Sometimes I sing as a horn, wordless,” Swift said. “But I am also known for taking more obscure jazz tunes not known by popular masses, or even modern theater tunes that aren’t in jazz repertoire, and making them sound as if they were written in the golden age of song.”

For Swift, jazz is second nature.

“Most people would think that this is a passion, that performing jazz is something I’ve always wanted to do,” Swift said. “This isn’t necessarily wrong, but how I explain it to people is I don’t think anything of it.

It’s just what I’ve known all my life. Are you passionate about speaking English?

It’s the same principle. You don’t think about it, but when you do, you wouldn’t change your roots for anything, and you’re thankful for what they teach you. My relationship with jazz is, metaphorically and

literally, my relationship with my parents.

It’s the core and base of my existence.”

As she gains experience, Swift said she wants to explore even more diverse arrangements and pull from different genres to add to what will become her own sound.

“Even finding songs that come out today and lyrical content that speaks to my generation and mixing it with the sound of Songbook,” she said. “That, to me, is what always keeps this music fresh.”

Swift performs regularly at New York City’s famed Birdland Jazz Club and ap-

pears regularly at Jazz at Lincoln Center with Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks. She was a 2015 prizewinner at the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Vocals Competition.

Critics have compared her smooth style and scatting to Anita O’Day, June Christy and Annie Ross.

The concert is part of the Center for the Performing Arts Emerging Artists series, featuring performers who are on the rise or otherwise new to central Indiana.

Charleston’s

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14636 Greyhound Plaza, Westfield What to get: Cheeseburger Price: $13 Anna’s take: Growing up, my family always loved to visit Charleston’s for a special occasion, dressing business casual instead of just casual and ordering something we wouldn’t typically order. It was a treat, and I always ordered the chicken piccata. What I’ve come to realize in my adult life is Charleston’s, especially the bar area,

CARMEL 14490 CLAY TERRACE BLVD $5 COVER BEFORE NOON OPEN AT 10AM | TENT PARTY

I chose the shoestring fries as my side for Charleston’s classic cheeseburger. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

is a great place to hang out with friends or frequent by yourself. The low-lit bar creates an atmosphere of comfort, which many bars don’t have. The bartenders really make an effort to get to know you, and the gentleman who served me didn’t forget my name during my stay. Kind of ironic, then, that I’ve forgotten his.

To fit my more casual setting, I ordered the cheeseburger. I suggest shoestring fries as your side.

Suggested pairings: The Whiskey Twist is a cocktail of Jameson Irish Whiskey, sweet and sour mix and fresh blackberries.

It’s refreshing, light and pairs great with the burger.

Behind bars: Mrs. Collins Get it at 3UP Rooftop Bar, Carmel Ingredients: 1.25 oz. Hanger Rose Vodka, .75 oz. St. Elder, .5 oz. Ruby Red, .5 oz. lemon juice, Prosecco Directions: Combine all ingredients except prosecco into a shaker tin, add ice, shake and strain over fresh ice in a highball glass. Top with Prosecco, stir and garnish with a lemon.

Exclaiming my point Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Treaty House in Waitangi, New Zealand. (Photo by Don Knebel)

New Zealand’s historic house Commentary by Don Knebel The Treaty House in Waitangi, New Zealand is the nation’s most important historical structure, even though it was imported from Australia. Documents still TRAVEL important to the nation’s original people were signed there.

In about 1300 A.D., Polynesian seafarers first settled in what is now New Zealand.

When Europeans arrived, descendants of those original settlers had divided into not-always-cooperative tribes, collectively known as the Máoris. In 1833, England dispatched James Busby to the Bay of Islands to represent British interests in the international trading activities that had developed around a port in the area. Busby soon learned that the Máoris were being precluded from participating in this lucrative business because their ships did not fly a recognized flag.

In 1834, Busby invited 25 Máori chiefs from the North Island to his small frame residence, fabricated in Australia and shipped in sections to the port. The chiefs selected a flag comprising a cross and four stars on

a blue field. Busby then drafted a hand-written document recognizing The United Tribes of New Zealand as an independent state, authorized to fly the new flag.

On Oct. 28, 1835, 34 Máori chiefs signed what became known as the Declaration of Independence on the grounds of Busby’s house. In 1840, Busby brought the tribal chiefs back to his house, where, as leaders of The United Tribes of New Zealand, they signed the Treaty of Waitangi, establishing New Zealand as an English colony and granting perpetual rights to the Máoris.

The Treaty House has been restored to its original condition and includes a museum describing the events that took place in and around the house. The flag of The United Tribes of New Zealand flies from a flagstaff on the grounds, erected where the historic documents were signed, accompanied by the Union Jack and the flag of New Zealand.

DISPATCHES Orange oil for mood — Need a mood or energy boost? Sniff an orange. Studies have shown that orange essential oil helps boost mood and alertness and can reduce anxiety.

If you don’t keep the fresh fruit on hand, buy some bottled oil and dab a drop on each wrist or massage into your temples for the same effect.

“Cut out all these exclamation points.

An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.” -F. GRAMMAR GUY Scott Fitzgerald Legend has it that the exclamation point has its origins in the Middle Ages. At the end of a sentence in which a medieval copyist wanted to indicate or emphasize joy, he would write the Latin word “io,” which means “joy.”

Over time, the “i” moved above the “o” and the “o” became small enough to become a point, evolving into the exclamation point.

There’s an episode of “Seinfeld” where Elaine breaks up with her boyfriend after he doesn’t use an exclamation point when writing down a phone message for her. A Plenty of Fish Conversation Nation 2018 survey found that “58 percent of singles say bad grammar is a bigger turn off than bad sex.” Especially in an age where texting and messaging account for much of the communication between potential love matches, grammar and punctuation play a significant role in your love life.

So, what’s my point, already? Should we use exclamation points or should we prac-

tice total exclamatory abstinence, as F. Scott Fitzgerald suggested? According to the AP Stylebook, we should “avoid overuse of exclamation points. Use to express a high degree of surprise, incredulity or other strong emotion.”

Here’s my point on exclamation points: Don’t go crazy with them. In the same way that bolding an entire section of text, therefore, makes nothing important, dropping in exclamation points all willy-nilly makes you look like a person who has had a few too many espressos. Never use more than one exclamation point at the end of a sentence; it’s just unnecessary.

Doing so takes your rhetoric to DEFCON 1 and makes the reader think there’s a giant asteroid hurtling toward Earth.

I suggest discussing exclamation point usage early on in a relationship so that you can weed out someone whose punctuation habits aren’t compatible with yours.
