Caddying pays off for seniors

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School senior Nicole Neuenschwander turned a passion for caddying into a full GOLF scholarship.

Neuenschwander, nominated by Prairie View Golf Club, and fellow WHS senior Jacob Espey, nominated by Wood Wind Golf Club, recently reNeuenschwander ceived Evans Scholarships from the Western Golf Association. They are among 14 Indiana students to receive a full housing and tuition college grant offered to golf caddies. The Evans Scholarship is valued at an estimated $120,000 over four years.

“I love so many things about my job,” Neuenschwander said. “Being able to work outside on such a beautiful course is really a blessing. Not to mention getting to make connections with all the golfers and other workers at the course. (Prairie View golf pros) Jake Peacock and Ben Gavin are such amazing people. They have been there with me through all of it and have truly made

this a life-changing experience.”

Espey plans to major in computer science at Purdue. Neuenschwander will major in speech and hearing sciences at Indiana University. Both began caddying the summer after their freshman year.

“This scholarship is a great opportunity to be a part of a community and be surrounded by people who, like myself, have Espey taken their college experience and career into their own hands,” Neuenschwander said.

Espey enjoys the people he has met as well.

“I really like the connections I’ve made with business people,” Espey said. “I’ve learned a lot from the experiences they would share with me.”

Espey played golf for the Westfield Middle School team in seventh and eighth grade and still golfs occasionally.

“I feel like I’ll never really know the value because I’ll never have to pay the student loans, room and board and stuff like that,” Espey said.

GRADUATE PROFILE: ALEN CISJA Compiled by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Alen Cisja gradated from Westfield High School in 2008. He then graduated from Oberlin College and is an EDUCATION attorney for the Seattle Seahawks NFL team.

What sports/clubs/programs were you involved in in high school?

“Varsity soccer, Student Impact basketball, Brain Game, French club, photography club and National Honor Society.”

What was your favorite high school subject and why?

“Design Processes, for two reasons: One, it taught me how to approach and think about problems from a different perspective, one that I had not yet had experience or comfort with, and two, because the teacher, Mr. Jason Hemmerling, was a good, patient and approachable guy.”

Who has been your most influential high school teacher?

“Mrs. Elaine Jensen, my former French teacher. She was incredibly passionate about her students.”

What do you miss about high school?

“The sense of community. I’ve moved around the country quite a bit since graduating high school — to six or seven states, I think — and have yet to come across a community that is as rooted in its local high school as Westfield is.”

Can you tell me about your collegiate experience?

“I graduated from Oberlin College, a small Cisja liberal arts school near Cleveland, Ohio.

I chose Oberlin because of its strong academic reputation and its soccer program.”

What did you major in? Why did you pick that major?

“I double majored in politics and sociology. Politics because I had always thought about going to law school, so the subject matter was a good match.

Sociology because I was intellectually curious about social trends, inequality and policy.”

What’s your dream job?

“The job I have now. I am an attorney for one of the best, most highly regarded organizations in professional football.

It’s a dream come true.”

Do you have any advice for younger students?

“Challenge yourselves early on. Don’t take the easy way out. Challenges and failure are a big part of life. You will almost certainly mess up somewhere along the line — in a tough class, in a relationship, during a bad day in school or at work. But, learning early on how to take on a challenge, failing, and reflecting upon the experience is the best way to grow.”

Influx of medical facilities in Hamilton County can have side effects, experts say

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County residents seemed to be struck with déjà vu in 2018: Every few months, the headlines announced plans for another new or expanded hospital.

Last year, Riverview Health opened a COVER STORY new, full-service hospital in Westfield and announced plans for four new ER/ urgent care centers in Carmel, Fishers and Indianapolis.

St. Vincent announced its intentions to develop 30 acres in southwest Carmel. Franciscan Health unveiled plans for a specialty orthopedic hospital in central Carmel, and IU Health North Hospital began construction on an 88,000-square-foot cancer center expansion.

That’s not to mention other new urgent care centers, freestanding emergency rooms and other medical facilities popping up throughout the area.

Some professionals insist Hamilton County residents win by having a variety of health care options in their own backyard.

“It’s almost like by being co-located.

People view it as a center of health care excellence, because you know they’re all competing,” said Seth Warren, president and CEO of Riverview Health. “It raises the level of care across the board, so I think there is some benefit to having competiWarren tors close to each other.”

But while the influx of health care options may help Hamilton County residents feel more secure should they have a medical emergency, its leaders are hitting the brakes on some of the proposed projects, saying an abundance of hospitals isn’t necessarily a good thing.

‘An aggressive marketplace’

Although the number of health care facilities expanding in Hamilton County seems excessive to some, it’s not surprising to Brian Tabor, president of the Indiana Hospital Association.

Franciscan Health Orthopedic Center of Excellence, proposed at southeast corner of 111th and Illinois streets, Carmel Possible St. Vincent future campus, northwest corner of 96th Street and Spring Mill Road, Carmel

With a population that has increased 18 percent since 2010, and the county expected to be Indiana’s second-most populous by 2050, according to Indiana Business Research Center, Tabor said it makes sense that the number of hospitals also would rapidly expand.

Tabor also said that low interest rates have led to recent expansions of health systems throughout the state and nation.

Much of the new development Tabor’s Tabor seen has been for specialized services – such as Franciscan’s proposed orthopedic hospital – as opposed to traditional full-service hospitals. Franciscan did not provide an official to be interviewed. Officials from St. Vincent declined to be interviewed.

In addition to Riverview’s new full-service hospital in Westfield, it is preparing to open four freestanding emergency rooms/urgent care centers in Fishers, north Carmel, west Carmel and Nora by 2020.

Warren said Riverview explores several factors when considering a new facility, such as demographics, traffic and growth patterns.

“If you have too many craft brewhouses together, some are going to suffer because there are only so many people who go to breweries,” said Warren, comparing potential health care oversaturation to the restaurant industry.

Protecting the taxpayers

All of the hospital systems in Hamilton County are nonprofits, meaning they are exempt from paying property taxes on land they own. Many seek to build in busy corridors that are zoned for business development, leaving cities without tax revenue they could have received. At the same time, they use city services, such as police and fire protection.

To address the issue, some health care systems agree to make payments in lieu of taxes, or PILOT, for a set amount of time or for perpetuity. The payments cover the property tax revenue that would have been generated if a for-profit business had developed the site.

State leaders are paying attention, too. After Carmel and Indianapolis residents voiced opposition to St. Vincent purchasing land for a potential facility on Spring Mill Road, State Sen. John Ruckelshaus filed a bill for the 2019 legislative session that would require hospitals to prove a need in an area before building a new facility.

“The hospitals and health care providers are clustering these hospitals in areas where fully insured patients live, which is in the higher socioeconomic areas,” said Ruckelshaus, adding that this is happening across the nation.

“They’re chasing that fully insured patient almost as a cost subsidy to Medicare and Medicaid, where they lose money.”

COMPETING FOR WORKERS In addition to competing for patients, local hospital systems also are competing for workers.

Tabor, of the Indiana Hospital Association, said a shortage of employees is what could keep the market from becoming oversaturated.

Riverview Health’s Warren said attracting and retaining employees is a constant challenge and that some of Riverview’s workers on the lower end of the pay scale commute from Anderson because affordable housing is difficult to find in many parts of Hamilton County.

“With low unemployment rates, the growth in this area and more competition from a number of industries, there are a limited number of available staff,” Warren said.

ESSAY Seeking ‘likes’

LETTER Don’t let teachers carry guns

Commentary by Terry Anker It can be said with abundant certainty that social media has changed the way in which we interact with each other. Countless studies, articles and even full-on books have been dedicated to assessing the cultural phenomena unleashed by our newly cultivated ability to share, perhaps over-share, the various details and vagrancies of our daily existence.

We tell events big and small. The news of a new baby in our family or the loss of a tire in the ubiquitous central Indiana potholes is spread with equal and banal distribution.

We post our vacation pictures, bringing with them both shared joy and a modicum of envy. We post half-baked postures and opinions alongside our well-considered and executed musings. We post more links in the prayer chain seeking to lift up someone who is struggling.

Along the way, we’ve begun to understand how best to present ourselves, hopefully our better selves, to the world.

In so doing, we’ve become curators in our own lives. The more tech savvy among us have figured out, by research or by accident, what kinds of posts are among the more appealing. Called by some clickbait, the notion of creating our own headline has become an obsession for us. We find ourselves validated or rebuked by the number of casual “likes” that might correspond to our reveries.

Eventually, society will find its watermark. Our habits will bend to the collective will of the social media marketplace. Then, it will all seem second nature. In the meantime, we endure the random passerby blocking traffic in search of the perfect “selfie” to post and wonder: “Is this my good side?”

Wall of despair Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m experiencing a bit of a rage stroke and need to vent my frustrations before I punch an innocent wall. And though HUMOR our liar-liar-pants-on-fire president certainly has warranted several of my recent hypertensive episodes, today I’ll be complaining about a more mundane topic, the cost of college (I haven’t the space for a Trump tirade!).

My husband Doo and I have four children, the oldest of whom is a sophomore at an in-state university. Our twins are seniors in high school, and our youngest is a freshman. We have saved enough to pay for one year of college for each of them, with the understanding that they will be responsible for the rest through scholarships, loans and part-time work. Oh, the naiveté!

For starters, we have perfectly wonderful, but perfectly average, kiddos. No top athletes, artistic phenoms or academic wunderkinds here. We also make too much money.

Not me, of course; I’m a teacher in Indiana!

But Doo does well enough that financial aid isn’t in the cards, so even if they stay close, they will have to come up with $75,000 each for undergrad.

Why not just borrow? Well, governmentbacked loans only cover about a fifth, and a 20-year old who works part-time reffing intramurals and selling Cutco knives doesn’t qualify for a private one. So, if said young adult wants to remove the hold on his registrar’s account, pay rent and eat, his mom has to Venmo him cash and then become a co-signer. Multiply that by three more moochers (two of whom are hell-bent on heading west), and you see why I’ve been eye-balling that wall for the past 30 hours.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “We respected them, as every man with a heart must respect those who give all for their beliefs.”

-Oliver Wendall Holmes

Editor, I appeal to our state’s legislature to not pass legislation that would allow teachers to carry a gun into a school.

I wish our schools did not have to think about the reality of gun shootings, but we experience gun violence every day in our nation. During the Cold War era, students dove under their wooden desks in case of a nuclear attack from Russia. I doubt if a piece of wood would have protected any child if a nuclear bomb hit a school.

Teachers need to focus their energies on monitoring student learning and on creating learning environments devoid of fear.

They need to know that leaders are working to stop guns from entering schools. They need to know that mental health initiatives effectively reach students who may be disengaged. They need to know that everyone who owns a gun has taken precautions so that guns are not accessible to minors.

I am in favor of gun-control reform, including strong background checks, a waiting period before a gun can be purchased and a requirement that requires gun owners to go through a follow-up registration review every four years (much like we go through with our driver’s license). I am in favor of ongoing training of all police officers to support them in keeping our communities welcoming and safe places for everyone.

Let’s not add another responsibility on our children’s teachers.

independence,” McIntyre said. “I stayed by her bedside for two years, and we are

currently living with my parents, so being able to go out into the community and move independently is something you can’t replace.”

As a result of surgery, Polley suffers from posterior fossa syndrome, which caused her to lose complete function of her right side.

She has since gained her right-side function but still has a difficult time moving around, which requires her to use the wheelchair.

Posterior fossa syndrome also causes speech disturbances and decreased motor movement.

Polley will be honored at the March 20 Westfield Youth Assistance Program Breakfast.

Westfield Middle School Special Education Teacher Laura Arrington nominated Polley for her perseverance in education and determination to return to school and get caught up with peers following her treatment.

“I really appreciate some acknowledgement being brought to her,” McIntyre said.

“She was out of school for two years, so all of her friends moved on to the high school without her. Now, she’s with underclassmen, and that’s hard for her because she is shy.”

WHS takes challenge of presenting ‘Les Miserables’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School junior Samantha Lewis has long been a fan of “Les Miserables.”

MUSICAL “There is a well-worn CD of the original cast recording of ‘Les Mis’ somewhere in my room that I listened to just about every day when I was younger,” Lewis said. “I was so excited to hear that we were doing this show at Westfield, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be a part of it.”

Lewis plays Fantine in Westfield High School’s production of “Les Miserables” at 7 p.m March 21 to 23. The musical is based on the book by Victor Hugo. Rhonda Adams is the director and Lance Grubb is the assistant director. Alison Wessel is the musical director.

“As it is my favorite musical of all time, I never thought we would do it here at WHS because it has always been so sacred and personal to me,” Adams said. “But my adult daughter, Ariana, whose middle name is Cosette (a character in the musical), suggested I consider the show this year.”

The musical fits well with the students’ talents, Adams said.

“That is the reason my daughter suggested it last year during the run of ‘Legally Blonde,’” Adams said.

Adams said Wessel, a choir teacher, has done an excellent job preparing students to handle the rigors of a musical such as ‘Les Miserables.’

“We knew we had the voices to do this show,” Adams said. “These students have not ceased to impress me.”

Wessel agreed. “’Les Miserables’ is a through-sung show, meaning there is very little spoken dialogue,” she said. “The most challenging songs are the ones with a lot of conversational singing. ‘Les Mis’ may be the most challenging show we have ever produced.

The cast is rising to the challenge.”

Senior Kyle Biggerstaff, who plays Marius, said he is excited to be in the show.

“The biggest challenge I have with playing Marius is that he has a constant change of emotions,” Biggerstaff said. “For example, there is one scene where he is

From left, Mallory Cooper, Anna Fischer, Luke Dilick and Ellyse Tibbets in “Les Miserables”

bawling his eyes out, and in the very next scene he’s as happy as can be and is getting married.

“There’s a lot of pressure of doing the show justice because it’s so well-known, but I have full confidence that our performances will turn out great.”

Lewis also understands the challenge of performing in the iconic musical, which debuted in 1980.

“‘Les Miserables’ is very well-known and well-loved in the theater community and beyond, meaning that there are a lot of devoted fans who want to see it done right,” Lewis said. “Those expectations, as well as the added challenge of singing such emotional songs, have certainly proven Fantine’s notoriety, but I’m so excited to take it all on.”

Narducci returns to ‘Camelot’ in Indianapolis Opera production

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s natural that Daniel Narducci will take on the role of King Arthur in the Indianapolis Opera production.

MUSICAL Narducci had played Lancelot on a tour where the late Robert Goulet, who originated the role of Lancelot in the 1960 Broadway production of “Camelot,” had transitioned into the role of King Arthur.

“For him to accept our invitation to do his debut as Arthur after literally doing Lancelot all over the world (is amazing),” Indianapolis Opera general director David Starkey said. “He’s been approached multiple times (about) when is he going to do the Arthur debut. It’s a great honor for him to come alongside us and do that.”

Indianapolis Opera will present “Camelot” at 7:30 p.m. March 22 and 23 and 2:30 p.m. March 24 at the Schrott Center for the Performing Arts on Butler’s campus in Indianapolis.

“We’re going to put the opera touch on it,” said Starkey, a Geist resident.

Narducci, a Bloomington resident, is on the voice faculty at the University of Indianapolis.

“This (musical) for me dates back to high school,” Narducci said. “It’s the first musical I ever participated in. I was in the chorus with Cheshire (Conn.) Community Theater, so I have a soft spot in my heart for this show.”

Narducci said he was inspired by his mother after telling her about a baritone in the production singing, “If Ever I Would Leave You.” “She said, ‘I’m sure he was good, but have you ever heard the original with Robert Goulet?” Narducci said. “She put on the (album), and I was blown away. That would have been 1983. From that point on, Robert Goulet was very much on my mind as far as his singing.”

Narducci, 51, did two tours as Lancelot.

The first was a six-month tour with British actor James Warwick in 1995.

“We started in Canada and zigzagged across the United States and ended in Anchorage,” he said.

In 1998, he again landed the role of Lancelot on a three-month tour with Goulet playing King Arthur.

Narducci said some of his colleagues warned him that Goulet was tough on previous actors playing Lancelot alongside Goulet. But before opening night in Atlanta,

Goulet gave Narducci his approval.

“He said, ‘You know, kid, I love what you are doing with my song,’” Narducci said. “He said, ‘That soft stuff, I couldn’t do that.’ I thought, ‘Oh, my god, Robert Goulet is praising me.’ He said, ‘All these other Lancelots all want to imitate me. I really appreciate you brought your own spin to it.’ From there on, we got along great.”

Indianapolis resident Marci Jackson will play Guinevere.

“This will be my debut in ‘Camelot. It’s a brand new endeavor. I’m very excited,” she said. “There are a lot of Jackson challenges with her. She’s young when we first meet her at the very beginning. She has a lot of expectations of life, and getting whisked off to marry some old codger king did not sound good to her, so she escapes. To see her transform and see her challenge of duty versus love (is satisfying).”

Jackson said she tries to fashion the role on her own first.

“Then I listen or watch what the great people who have done the role did with her,” Jackson said. “You can’t help but steal from greatness. You take a little bit here, a little bit there, create on your own, and it’s a melting pot of a role that takes on a life of her own.”

Peterson’s Peterson’s Prime Rib Egg Rolls combine prime rib, white cheddar, soy jus, wasabi horseradish aioli and scallions. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 7690 E. 96th St., Fishers What to get: Prime Rib Egg Rolls Price: $12 Anna’s take: This was my first time at Peterson’s, and I was impressed. I stopped in for some quick appetizers and a glass of wine in a quiet corner of the bar, but I can’t wait to go back. Peterson’s is fine dining, so dress accordingly. I tried the Prime Rib Egg Rolls, which were delicious cylinders of prime rib, white cheddar, soy jus, wasabi horseradish aioli and scallions. The outside breading was slightly crunchy, and as soon as I bit into the tender prime rib, it was game over. I should’ve ordered two serv-

ings. I’m a fan of both prime rib and egg rolls, but I have never combined the two before.

I also sampled the calamari, served on top of Napa slaw with a side of ginger orange chili sauce ($15). Delicious.

Check out Peterson’s if you’re on a date, if you’re on an after-hours business meeting or if you just want to enjoy a quiet corner in the bar with some prime food choices.

Suggested pairings: I ordered a glass of the Rabble Wine Company’s Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles, Calif. ($12). It was delicious, and there are plenty of wine options on the menu if dry reds aren’t up your alley.

Blueprint for Improvement: Bathroom updates make a splash Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The oversized tub was removed and replaced with a spacious walk-in shower.

2. Carpet was replaced with gorgeous tile planks that instantly transformed the space.

3. The homeowners worked with our designers to select finishes and textures that reminded them of one of their favorite places, the Coastal Carolinas.

4. Now these homeowners can enjoy a relaxing retreat in the comfort of their own home!

To get started on your own remodeling project, visit caseindy.com, or visit us at one of our three locations in the metro area.

Background: The owners of this 1988 home in Carmel’s Springmill Crossing neighborhood wanted an updated look and improved flow for their master bathroom.

THE CHALLENGE

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more beforeand-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

The existing space was long and narrow and didn’t function smoothly. The oversized bathtub was separate from the shower and rarely used.

The shower and toilet shared a small room, which wasn’t ideal.

A dash of proper punctuation Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

The Grand Canyon from the south rim. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Grand Canyon: A natural wonder Commentary by Don Knebel On February 26, 2019, Grand Canyon National Park, located in Arizona, celebrated its 100th anniversary. The history of the canyon is about 20 million TRAVEL times longer.

By any definition, the Grand Canyon, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, is awesome. It is 227 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and a mile deep. Equally awesome are the natural processes that created it.

Beginning about 2 billion years ago, a sea that covered the area began depositing layers of sediment. During the next 1 1/2 billion years or so, about 40 distinct layers were deposited. About 75 million years ago, the geologic events that created the Rocky Mountains began to lift the area, eventually creating the 7,000-foot-high Colorado Plateau.

At some point, a river began flowing on the plateau toward the Pacific Ocean. As the raising of the plateau increased the river’s elevation, the water in what is now the Colorado River began traveling faster and faster

toward the ocean, eroding away one after another layer of the soft sedimentary rock.

The erosion accelerated and widened when the river frequently flooded from melting snow and glaciers in the Rockies. Erosion from fast-moving tributaries flowing into the river further eroded the canyon walls.

With the Colorado River still about 2,000 feet above sea level, the erosion continues and the canyon is slowly getting deeper.

Grand Canyon National Park offers access to the canyon’s north and south rims, with the best and most popular views provided by nine overlooks along the south rim, open year-round. The north rim, open only in the summer, provides access to mule rides deep into the canyon. Access to the west rim is through lands controlled by the Hualapai Indian Tribe, which built a hugely popular glass-bottomed skywalk over the canyon.

Have you ever put spicy mustard on a sandwich? If you inadvertently glob on too much of the GRAMMAR GUY good stuff, you’ll swear you just snorted wasabi. When it comes to spices that are in your face (literally and figuratively), a little bit can go a long way.

In the same way, hyphens and dashes — when sprinkled into sentences properly — add just the right punch. Not only will we learn how to use the hyphen (-) properly today, but we’ll also learn how to use both the en (–) and em (—) dashes.

Let’s start with hyphens. Hyphens are like glue for two words that are connected. Use hyphens in compound adjectives, which are adjectives that precede a noun they modify in order to connect them together. Examples of compound adjectives include well-known, blue-haired, one-eyed and ill-conceived. Hyphens also are used to separate numbers (three hundred sixty-five) and to create a line break when syllables of the same word get separated.

We still see this sometimes in books and newspapers.

En dashes (–) are all about range. Use an en dash in order to show a range of numbers. The Thunder beat the Jazz 120– 101. The store is open Monday-Friday. The en dash is named as such because it is about the width of the letter “n.” To type an en dash on a PC, press ctrl+minus. On a Mac, press option+hyphen.

The em dash (—) is the length of the letter “m.” Generally, use it as a more dramatic substitute for other punctuation, like commas, colons, semicolons or parentheses. Do not—I repeat—do not put spaces around the em dash; allow the words to bump up right next to the em dash to show the immediacy and drama it interjects. To type an em dash on a PC, press alt+ctrl+minus. On a Mac, press option+shift+hyphen.

If you want to get a shiny gold star sticker on your grammar chart, learn the difference between hyphens, en dashes and em dashes.

“A pair of new hips lets me chase down blazing serves and fleeing criminals.”

– tye d.

The defining moment came when Tye, a 36-year-old police officer, couldn’t step over a baby gate to help a 911 caller. No more would his aching hips keep him from doing his job. He went to Community’s Center for Joint Health where he had both joints replaced. From the confidence of his surgeon and care coordinator, to the quick access and “incredible rehab”, Tye has nothing but high marks for Community. He is back to any sport where he gets to chase after a ball, and has proven there is no baby gate too tall.

Exceptional care. Simply delivered.
