Do Good Indy to fundraise at Rail

APY CD SPECIAL

Although it’s operated less than six months, Do Good Indy is already making an impact. The nonprofit giving back has hosted multiple supply drives to benefit other organizations, and March 21 to 23 it will be the recipient of its first dine-todonate program through the Rail Epicurean Market in Westfield.

Fifteen percent of sales from the event go toward Exodus Refugee Immigration.

Diners must present a flier, available on Do Good Indy’s Facebook page, for their payment to benefit the organization.

Five mothers launched Do Good Indy last November.

“I guess as mothers we feel inclined to want to better our community and make it a happier place for our children,” said Jessica “Jazzy” O’Brien, one of the co-founders.

“After the last presidential election, we felt like we wanted to put a little more kindness out to the universe since we are somewhat divided currently.”

The program is new to the Rail Epicurean.

Its community outreach program benefitted one other organization, the Heart and

Soul Clinic in Westfield, but co-owner Melanie Miles said the program will elicit a larger turnout.

“We designed it so that we could help a lot more organizations in our community,” Miles said. “We have five or six more (dineto-donate events) set up through July. We felt limited in resources and wanted to do more, so that’s why we started this program.”

Plan commission talks Belmont Compiled by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission held a meeting March 6 at city hall.

The plan commission forwarded the Grand Millennium Center to city council, 7-0, and held public hearings for the Belmont Woods and Metric Seals proposals. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

What happened: The APC held a public hearing for a building expansion at Metric Seals, 17030 Westfield Park Rd. What it means: An expansion of the building and parking lot across 2.1 acres was requested. Nobody spoke at the public

hearing. After the hearing, the plan commission forwarded the proposal onto the city council with a 7-0 vote.

What happened: The APC held a public hearing for Belmont Woods, 16575 Carey Rd. What it means: David Weekley Homes is proposing for a change of zoning to a single-family district to allow for 27 lots across 16.56 acres. There were no written comments prior to the meeting, and only one person spoke expressing concern regarding expansion and the effect it would have on drains. However, most drains are in the common areas of the proposal, which would not be expanded into. Steve Hardin, an attorney with Faegre Baker Daniels, said they likely would not be affected. The homes would be set between the $450,000 and $500,000 price range. The proposal

Westfield veteran works with organizations to legalize for pain relief

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com U.S. Air Force Capt. Jason Straw knows firsthand what dealing with medical traumas in a war’s combat zone can be like. cover story “We are dealing with things nobody here in the states has ever seen,” the Westfield resident said.

Now Straw, after serving as a critical-care nurse overseas, is working with like-minded organizations in an attempt to legalize medical cannabis to help veterans and victims of trauma deal with acute pain.

“In combat, we don’t have to abide by FDA rules,” he said.

“We are allowed to do whatever we deem necessary to save the patient as long as we can back it up. If two doctors believe something will save a patient or improve quality of life or save a life, we can do it.”

But in the states, FDA rules apply with regard to patient care. Straw said the FDA only allows up to six weeks of opioid prescriptions to treat acute pain. He said that most wounded servicemen and women who suffer traumatic injuries overseas will experience pain much longer than six weeks.

Medical cannabis, Straw said, can help.

“Inpatient surgery patients can have (opioids), cancer patients can have it. What is (the soldier) going to do?” Straw said. “Acupuncture and chiropractic care has shown to help a little bit, but with medical cannabis they’re showing about 75 percent of patients having some positive benefit similar to the opium.”

In addition to managing pain, Straw said medical cannabis helps in preventing opioid addictions and instances where the injured veteran might try to illegally purchase drugs on the street.

“My whole goal was to get all of the organizations to talk to each other and get organized,” Straw said. “The problem was there are all these organizations and nobody was talking to each other and there was nobody who understood how the medical side really worked. With my background in research and trauma and critical care, I was able to go through and do research for them.”

The organizations Straw works with include The Higher Fellowship, which is a group of advocates for the medicinal use of marijuana in Indiana, and Indiana Normal and Hoosier Vets for Medical Cannabis.

“States are having problems with opium-overdose deaths. The more liberal the medical marijuana law, the better the percentage of lowering the opium death rate,” Straw said. “People have pain, you’ve got to treat it. It’s inhumane to have people in pain and not treat it. These guys are going to look for a way to treat their pain.”

“This is a historical year for Indiana,” said David Phipps, co-founder and executive director of The Higher Fellowship.

“This is the first time in our state’s history that we’ve seen 11 medicinal cannabis bills submitted. Normally, we see two

to three in that range. We have had 11 bills submitted so far.”

Phipps said the big project right now is Senate Bill 15, which would allow for cannabidiol to treat epilepsy. Cannabidiol is derived from marijuana oil.

“There is serious suffering going on right now that is completely avoidable through medicinal cannabis,” Phipps said. “That’s what it boils down to is ending this suffering for those patients.”

can help.

Town Hall Meeting A Town Hall meeting is scheduled for 11:45 a.m. March 16 at the Statehouse, 200 W. Washington St., Indianapolis. The Higher Fellowship co-founder and executive director David Phipps will be present as well as veterans, former law enforcement members, State Sen. Karen Tallian and State Rep. Sue Errington (D-Muncie). Phipps said he is expecting between 150-250 people. The event is open to the public.

“What we’re going to be doing is encouraging our governor to sign Senate Bill 15 to get that medication to epileptic patients that need it, but also motivating legislators to begin writing more medicinal cannabis bills and encourage those legislators that have already written more medicinal cannabis-related bills to take action,” Phipps said.

Sleeping through a slumber party

o b s e r v a tion

The doors of our lives

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Famed American inventor Alexander Graham Bell once said, “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”

Too often his words reflect in our own lives. We set course planning to move from one space to another without considering a contingency plan. Like people exiting a crowded theater only using the door that is propped back rather than opening any of an array of other adjacent exit doors.

We imagine our route, then line up as if our brains cannot conceive of another.

Yet whether we can find a new course on the map or not, life continues to move.

We pass along its corridors barely noticing until we find a portal locked, obstructing our smooth passage. We strive diligently to bypass it and, in failing, collapse in our own grief believing that our lives will go no further, trapped by our own conception.

Yet even if our work creates a path to open, get around or simply break through the barrier to allow us to continue along our way, we might expend such vast resources so as to turn the victory into a loss. How do we know it is time to look for another portal?

With time comes wisdom, and our own measure of grit is determined. We learn when to pound the door and when to find another. But isn’t it all made easier if we remember Bell’s admonishment that it is a rare journey with only one path to its final destination?

Give the old gung-ho Commentary by Richard K. Egan To be sure, the world we live in isn’t what it used to be. Well, really, nothing is anymore. What was the world back then, and was it any more fun than now?

Do we still say that those were the good old days? We had tar-paved streets over cobblestone and the car you drove had to be black. Mother hung clothes on a line in the backyard, and dear ol’ dad shoveled the coal into a shoot.

Oh, yes, we cast our vote for the candidate we wished and forgot them until the next ballot, as the elected did the same to us. Boy, have things changed. First radio then television, and now internet.

The quickest we used to get breaking news was an extra edition of the newspaper sold on street corners. Now, it’s all instantly being slung at us by so many sources it is hard to keep up with it all.

Breaking news, no news, fake news, slanted news, right or left news. In to-

day’s world, it’s hard to differentiate fact from fiction. Everyone seems to have the right answers, which makes for strange bedfellows. Right or wrong, we still have to live with each other whether we want to or not. This is still our country, our land of the free, our heritage and ours to have and to hold. Somehow, somewhere, someone must stand tall to unite us as one people under God, as our forefathers intended. That someone is you. It starts with you and then another until we again have the United States of America. Don’t give up or in, give the old gung-ho to ‘make America great again.’

Richard K. Egan is a retired interior decorator, born a Buckeye, Hoosier at heart.

He has been married to his sweetheart Evelyn for 62 years. They have five children, 10 grandchildren and five great grandchildren. He is active in the Indianapolis Aero Club as past president and sergeant of arms.

Recently, I had between 11 and 15 teenage girls asleep in the basement. I lost track of the headcount as soon as they humor swarmed the mini-chocolate fountain with sharp wooden skewers and marshmallows.

It was survival at that point, people, so I quickly fled to the relative peace and quiet of the upstairs, shoved a beach towel into the crack at the base of the door (to block both the high-pitched squeals of delight and the overpowering scent of floral deodorant/perfume) and offered up a few Lenten Hail Mary’s to ensure I was alive to see the sun rise on the morrow.

Success! I awoke the following morning actually feeling rested. Of course, I had slept fitfully until about 2 a.m. when I couldn’t take the stair-running or the kitchen-banging any longer. But I was smart this year. Instead of channeling “Mommie, Dearest” in full facial mask mode and confronting the masses directly, I simply texted my darling daughter to have everyone prep for shut down. She quickly replied “Gucci,” and I congratulated myself on using technology to communicate with my newly minted 13-year-old.

Did I mention these are all competitive dancers? And that within 30 minutes of their arrival this hormonal plague of locusts had already drank and discarded four large bottles of orange Fanta, plowed their way through three bags of Doritos and were clamoring for cheese pizza while attempting to shish-kebob-me on their way to chocolatey goodness? It was only 5:30 p.m.!

I can tell you my basement floor looked like a makeshift disaster shelter, with little cocooned bodies lying everywhere. And FYI, I counted 14 before the smell did me in.

Peace out.

Wishing you well, Richard Commentary by Dick Wolfsie In the top left corner of a supermarket tabloid one week in 1983 was a photo of exercise guru Richard Simhumor mons running in Central Park.

Next to him was me, at the time the new host of a morning talk show in New York. The caption read: “Jog with a Lover.” This was pre-Seinfeld’s “Not that there’s anything wrong with that,” but there was something inaccurate about it.

Yes, we were friends, which is why reports of his absence from the public have been so troubling to me.

We met in the ’70s in Columbus, Ohio.

On my evening talk show, he counseled audience members. My wife was skeptical of his sincerity, but after the segment, she witnessed him, off camera, consoling an overweight teen. Both Richard and the young lady were in tears.

Two years later in the Big Apple, I taped an interview with Richard. As we strode along Fifth Avenue, a woman told Richard that her terminally ill mother had been inspired by him. With that, he hailed a cab and sped off to the hospital to pay his fan a visit, leaving me alone with an entire pro-

duction crew.

In 1991, I began my 27-year stretch at WISH-TV, which included my favorite three minutes of unscripted live TV. Richard was appearing at a local mall, his plane set to land early in the morning. My segment was live, so I had no way to ensure his on-time arrival. In a stroke of great luck, his limo pulled up while I sat on my front step interviewing a professional clown and a very overweight chef, both of whom had wanted to meet Richard.

When Simmons exited his limo, we all broke into an exercise routine at 5:30 a.m. In the studio, anchor David Barras completely lost his composure. Weeks later, Richard wrote me: “And there we were in front of your house at sunrise. A clown, a chef and a baby beagle. Nobody would believe this.”

Wherever he is, I hope Richard is safe and happy.

Bags to Riches fundraiser set

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Tracy Miller figures everyone loves to get a good deal on a handbag or purse, especially when it’s for a philanthropy good cause.

The fifth annual Bags to Riches, a donation and resale fundraiser, is set for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 21 in room K130 at IU Health North Hospital, 11700 N. Meridian St., Carmel.

“We basically sell gently used handbags, tote bags, golf bags, wristlets and purses,” said Miller, director of philanthropy of IU Health North. “And 100 percent goes to our patients in need.”

Miller said the goal is to raise $5,000.

Bags start at $1. Some higher-end bags are on the silent auction table with bid pages.

“We had a Chanel purse go for $500 in the auction in the past,” Miller said.

The collection period is March 25 to April 15. The bags can be dropped off at IU North.

In addition, two senior-living communities, Carmel Health & Living, 118 Medical Dr., and Copper Trace, 1250 W. 146th St., Westfield, serve as drop-off points.

“The more bags we get in, the more money we make for our patients,” Miller said.

Miller said the first four Bags to Riches have generated approximately $15,000 for patients in need.

The funds are used for patients’ transportation to and from the hospital.

“Sometimes people arrive after an accident and they can’t go home in the clothes they arrived in because they could be soiled, torn or ripped, so we get them something to wear,” Miller said. “We provide food vouchers. So it’s patient support that is desperately needed in a time of crisis.”

The hospital’s social work department runs the sale. Donations are tax deductible.

“In the arts and entertainment world, institutions and individuals often become associated with a particular piece of music or song,” ArtisConductor Mario Ventic Director and Conductor of zago at a performance the Symphonic Choir Eric Stark April 29, 2005 at the stated in a press release to Hilbert Circle Theatre.

Current.

Stark stated that in the case of the Symphonic Choir, “Elijah” is one of the choir’s signature works.

“Although the Symphonic Choir performs music from so many different genres and styles, when you boil it down, this organization especially excels when performing major, large-scale works like ‘Elijah,’” Executive Director Michael Pettry stated.

The performance of “Elijah” will feature the 170 voices of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir joined by the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and the Indianapolis Children’s Choir. The performance will feature soprano Christina Pier, mezzo-soprano Kate Maroney, tenor Thomas Cooley and baritone Christòphern Nomura playing the role of “Elijah.”

Tickets are now on sale and start at $29.50. For more, visit TheCenterPresents.org.

Current asked: How has the choir changed and grown in the last 80 years?

“It feels like the choir has really come into its own in recent years. Artistically, we undertake projects of such scale that few other choirs in the nation have the ability to, and financially we’ve matured to a point of solid stability thanks to strong ticket growth and a committed donor base.”

- Eric Stark, who is marking his 15th anniversary as artistic director of the Symphonic Choir.

“Over the past 40 years, the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir has grown from a volunteer choir to a professionally run organization. While dedicated singers have been the constant, dramatic change has occurred through organizational structure, outstanding artistic and executive leadership, and the capacity to perform in the community’s best musical venues in concert with soloists of national and international renown.”

- Dennis Tackitt, board member with 30-years perspective of the organization, as a singer then as a board member.

“Back in the 1970s my dad began singing with the choir (Called the “chorus” then!), and I joined my freshman year at Butler, making it a small family affair. Now, after making the rounds to four other cities, 35 years later I’m back in the Indy Choir alto section and feel very honored to share my musical journey with old and new friends, all the while being buoyed by my parents, who continue their faithful and loving support.”

- Becky Peterson, alto in the choir for the past two years.

Blueprint for Improvement: Converting bedrooms into master suites Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before Background Info: This 1950’s home in the Devonshire neighborhood of Indianapolis was in need of a functional, spacious master suite.

Before problems: The owners were looking for design strategies to develop a more efficient master suite layout without a full addition. This required some strategic space planning within their existing house footprint. Because of the wooded lot, the interior spaces needed additional daylight as well.

WAXING • FACIALS • MASSAGE MARCH 1 - APRIL 30 SPECIALS 15% Off All Waxing Services & Image Skincare SPF, Concealer & Accessories

ONLINE BOOKING AVAILABLE! 17409 Wheeler Rd., Suite 106, Westfield, IN | www.spathirty2.com | 317-399-7108 Monday: 12pm–6pm • Tuesday: 10am–6pm • Wednesday: 10am–7pm • Thursday: 9am–7pm Friday: 9am–6pm • Saturday: 9am–5pm • Sunday: 9am–4pm

After solutions: The goal was to design a master suite that utilized the existing home’s square footage, while creating a more functional floor plan.

1. To create functional space for the master suite, two small bedrooms were converted into a large master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and walk-in closet.

2. To create a larger master bath, two full baths were transformed into one full bath and a larger master bath. This was accomplished by creating a two-foot bump-out for the small amount of additional square footage needed.

3. A double vanity and large walk-in shower were accomplished with this new layout.

4. For additional daylight, three skylights were added in the roof system: two in the bedroom and one in the closet. In addition, the existing windows were replaced with larger windows to maximize the daylight and view to the exterior.

Sacred Lake at Karnak Temple (Photo by Don Knebel)

Karnak Temple’s Sacred Lake Commentary by Don Knebel The Karnak Temple complex is thought to be the largest religious center in the world.

It may have provided the inspiration for a religious ritual practiced by travel billions of people.

Around 2000 B.C., Pharaoh Sesostris ordered construction of a temple near what is now Luxor, Egypt. For 1,300 years, his successors kept building on the same site until the collection of temples, halls and obelisks occupied 200 acres.

Facilities devoted only to Amun, one of the most important of the gods worshipped at Karnak, occupied 61 acres. In approximately 1450 B.C., Pharaoh Tuthmosis III built an artificial lake lined with stone, 425-feet long by 250-feet wide, just south of the main Temple of Amun. Stone steps on the perimeter of this Sacred Lake lead into the water, which symbolized the primeval waters of creation. Priests living in special quarters south of the Sacred Lake used it to purify themselves before performing religious rituals in the temples of Amun.

According to the Bible, after the Isra-

elites left Egypt under the leadership of Moses, they fashioned a bronze basin and placed it near the entrance of their portable tabernacle, where the priests purified themselves in water before performing religious rituals. When King Solomon built the Temple in Jerusalem he placed a large bronze basin called the Molten Sea near the Temple, where priests ritually purified themselves and their vessels. Moses’ basin and Solomon’s Molten Sea are echoed in Jewish mikvahs, Christian baptismal founts and Muslim ablution pools.

Some people have speculated that the word “amen,” used in many of the world’s religions, is connected with the god Amun, who was worshipped at Karnak. Far more likely is the conclusion that the widespread practice of using water for ritual purification may have begun at Karnak’s Sacred Lake almost 3,500 years ago.
