Rupert assists Empty Bowls project news@currentinwestfield.com Indiana celebrities Rupert and Laura Boneham of Survivor fame joined a fourth-grade class at Washington Woods Elemeneducation tary to create “tie-dyed” art bowls for the Empty Bowls Project on March 13.

The project uses “art from the heart” to remind us that too many people in our community go to bed each night with an empty bowl. The Bonehams wanted to support the April 30 event

but couldn’t attend the Celebrity Bowl-athon on March 25, so they made the day special for these fourth-graders.

Nearly 1,000 bowls will be available to the public for a donation from 5 to 7 p.m. April 30 at Westfield Middle School. Along with displaying all the art bowls, Westfield Washington Schools will be offering a simple meal of bread and soup.

All the proceeds will go to local hunger-fighting agencies, including Open Doors of Westfield, Gleaners Food Bank and the Amanda Strong Foundation.

Meet your teacher, Stacia Denkmann Grade/subject at what school: Third grade, Oak Trace Elementary Number of years teaching: 15 Background/schooling: Carmel High School; B.S. elementary education, Indiana University; and M.S. elementary administration, Butler University Why did you become a teacher? My fourth grade teacher, Lynn Lorton, was instrumental in forming my decision to become an elementary school teacher. She not only made learning enjoyable but it was clear she believed in every child and believed that every child could reach their potential, even while conforming to high expectations.

What goals do you have for your students? Overall, I want my students to leave my

classroom having developed a lifelong love of learning.

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Focus on the positive-side of what their child can do, to build their confidence, while tackling their weaker skills.

What is your favorite movie? “Overboard.”

Who is your favorite musician or band?

Wilco and Tom Petty.

What’s something your students might not know about you? I married my best friend from high school and together we taught our dog to run on the treadmill (and enjoy it!).

Car dealer to repay customers news@currentinwestfield.com

Tom Roush, A Westfield-based auto dealer, is set to refund some of its customers up to $129 after overcharging for docubusiness ment fees. The refunds stem from a voluntary agreement Tom Roush reached with the Indiana Attorney General.

Under Indiana law, a document fee must be negotiable and may only include those costs directly incurred in the processing of a vehicle purchase. In many cases, Tom Roush wrongfully included a charge for vehicle etch insurance in its $279 document fee or charged the same fee to customers who didn’t purchase the insurance.

Etching is a process in which a vehicle identification number is engraved onto the vehicle’s

windows to deter theft. According to the agreement, all consumers who were overcharged on their document fee are to be refunded by the company within the next six months.

According to the agreement awaiting approval by the Hamilton County Circuit Court, consumers who purchased a vehicle from March 1, 2012 and March 1, 2014 and either did not agree to purchase etch insurance, or otherwise did not receive the insurance, will receive a $129 refund.

Customers who paid the fee during this time period and signed an etch insurance agreement will be refunded $85.

It is not yet known how many customers are impacted, but the company will provide a list to the state once refunds are made. The dealership also agreed to pay $2,000 in costs to the attorney general’s office.

“It’s not a typical place you would find a church. We want to help shift some perspective,” Lead Pastor Brad Ruggles said. “ComicCon is a huge senRuggles sation in San Diego that has swept the country in recent years.”

“Holy Spirit, is that a church Batman?”

Ruggles said the mission for the weekend was simple: “We’re a bunch of comic and movieloving geeks who happen to also be Christians and we want to send the message that Christians are geeks, too.”

“There are so many geeks and people that are interested in this,” he said. “We as a church are just a real good mix of unique and fun people.

There are lots of geeks, movie fans and comic fans that go to the church.”

Unless it’s a storm trooper or superhero, Ruggles said the church “doesn’t believe in wearing masks” to hide our imperfect, messy lives.

“It’s OK to not be OK. It’s not OK to stay there.

You don’t have to put on a mask. We extend love and acceptance to people no matter where they are at,” Ruggles said.

“Don’t have to change what you are to go here,” Connections Pastor Clay Stevens said.

Church members greeted the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, superheroes or people dressed in full “cosplay” from their favorite comic book or movie character and spent time talking to them while standing in line at thier free Stevens photo booth. Stevens said that while very few people live nearby or will attend Imagine after the weekend, it was important to have a presence.

“It wasn’t necessary a win for little Imagine Church but a win for church in general,” he said.

“With great power comes great responsibility” Stevens said he didn’t sign up to help because the church had three pages of volunteers but ended up assisting at ComicCon. “I’m not super geeky,” he said. “I thought they

in their lives.”

“Our goal was to develop relationships and serve the people that were there,” Ruggles said.

“There’s a great intersection between God and our culture. He speaks to us in the most unlikely of places.

Imagine Church took 2,200 photos of superheros and villains at ComicCon.

could pick a better person. I was hesitant going in.”

Despite his initial uncertainty, Stevens had a great time at the event and laughs thinking about how he had to ask which character props people wanted for the photo booth.

“My favorite character was Barf from ‘Spaceballs.’ He was dead on and randomly photobombing,” he said.

In addition to taking 2,200 pictures at their free photo booth and handing out 70,000 fliers, Stevens said the church was able to visit with more than 100,000 visitors.

“I’m a big people person,” he said. “You see a full range of people within five minutes – from those that are young and love it because it is fun and innocent, to people searching for something

“Luke, he is your father” “‘Star Wars’ came out the year I was born.

I grew up with ‘Star Wars,’” Ruggles said. “I’m personally a big ‘Star Wars’ fan. I wanted to be there.”

While not a typical choice for a pastor, Ruggles said his favorite character is Darth Vader.

“It’s his story arc, a story of redemption,” he said.

Ruggles and his wife, Lisa, moved to Westfield from Fort Wayne to plant the church, which opened Oct. 23, 2011. Ruggles said many congregation members have been burned by church or have little church background.

“We use compelling engaging series that’s applicable and easy to understand,” he said. “We don’t believe in teaching for the sake of learning but for actions so people can go live it out … We attach Biblical truth to something they understand to help bridge the gap.”

The church is looking into a feasibility study to determine its next steps. Ruggles said the possibilities include leasing space or finding a facility to permanently house the church.

“There’s so much more in the community, stuff is happening throughout the week. It helps to have a facility to do that though,” he said.

Ruggles said the church office at 206 W. Main St. hosts board games every Thursday and twothirds of the participants are not churchgoers.

The church also hosts an annual Easter Egg Drop, provides the kids area at Westfield Rocks

The kids zone at Westfield Rocks the Fourth is sponsored by Imagine Church and ran by congregation members like Kyra Woodruff pictured above. The next big community event is the annual Easter Egg Drop on April 19. (Submitted photos)

the Fourth and enjoys having “off the wall” events like when it brought in WWE Hall of Fame member, Ken Shamrock, to give his testimony.

“We’re very involved in the community. We love the community we are in and try to serve as best we can,” Ruggles said.

Snack pack missionary is where the church provided meals for kids after school and sent home groceries for two weeks. Stevens said it assisted 75 Westfield families in the fall during its pilot run.

Ruggles said one specific offering is used for “outside the walls” and have included raising $12,000 to build a fresh water well in Kenya and $20,000 for Destiny Rescue, an international organization to rescue girls from human trafficking, and at-rick children in Westfield.

FROM THE BACKSHOP On mass transit: Not so fast, men We like Andy Cook, we really do, and we believe he has done indisputably great things for Westfield. Now, as chair of Central Indiana Council of Elected Officials, he is urging Gov. Mike Pence to sign the legislature-passed mass transit bill. Not so fast, gents. If signed into law, the bill would allow six counties to have voter referendums on how to fund mass transit projects. The answer, dear voters, as we have opined before, is privatization. Do you really want to be on the hook for a local version of fiscally challenged Amtrak or IndyGo? No, you don’t. Cook wants local debate, and we believe that should center on taking mass transit out of government’s hands.

••• As if there were any doubt – Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign seems to have been launched last Wednesday, when she spoke in Montreal, telling her audience Russian President Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea is an effort to rewrite the boundaries of post-World War II Europe. “If he’s allowed to get away with that, then I think you’ll see a lot of other countries either directly facing Russian aggression, or suborned with their political systems so that they’re so intimidated, they’re in effect transformed into vassals, not sovereign democracies.” And her tenure as secretary of state did exactly what to prevent this from happening?

Shamrock luck

Strategery

Commentary by Terry Anker

One can certainly hope that spring is officially in the air. The warmer days are becoming more consistent and even the stubborn remainders of this year’s bitter winter fade. Yet in spite the debris exposed as the giant piles of accumulated snow dissolve taking with them our memories of the difficulty we have just recently collectively endured, spring is a time of forward-looking optimism. With the first delicate flowers pushing through the just-thawing earth, we are inspired to shake off our own sleepiness and embrace the vernal renewal.

The arrival of longer days and the optimism that always seem accompany them brings with them a new energy to commit to the strategic plans and goals set during the customary winter planning. So many of us make use of the slower business days of January and February to collect with colleagues to consider vision and direction for the months and years ahead. Then as March and April finally arrive, we find the energy to take

the difficult steps to implement the opening salvos of our work. Perhaps it harkens to our agrarian past, but the difficult seems more attainable as we experience the annual resurrection of our landscape from its icy grip to abundant life.

As the well-considered designs take form in the actions of the institutions, families and companies in which we count ourselves to be part, we are reminded of the steady hand that nature employs in its own work. Spring arrives not in an instant but through a process. Each step is implemented in its own time and with its own effort – all in concert and resistant to failure.

Some elements, overwhelmed by the harsh season now passed or having completed their own life cycles, fail; yet others eagerly replace them.

Now is the time, let’s go to work.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK When you blame and criticize others, you are avoiding some truth about yourself.

- Deepak Chopra

I serve as the managing editor for the Noblesville and Westfield editions of Current, and last week I was at the Noblesville School Board meeting when Supt. Dr. Libbie Conner announced her plans to retire on Sept. 1. It got me thinking about how this will be the district’s third superintendent in six years.

Westfield is very lucky to have a leader like Dr. Mark Keen. Keen, who has been overseeing the district since 1997, is the longest-tenured superintendent in Hamilton County – and it’s not even close, not by a decade.

Every growing school district has faced challenges since that time and Westfield is no exception. When Keen started, Westfield Washington had a couple thousand students in four schools. Now the district has nine schools, more than 6,000 students and is the largest employer in the city with more than 800 workers.

What’s more telling are the incredible gains in other stats the district has seen under Keen’s leadership. Graduation rates, standardized tests, AP classes and attendance are all up – to the point they rival any other school district in Hamilton County.

In addition to being incredibly humble, Keen is highly intelligent and the true leader of the district. When other districts have had teacher strikes, Westfield has dealt with issues internally. Before asking any of his educators to take a pay freeze, he and other administrators already spent a year without a raise.

Keen also has a knack for hiring talented people. He’ll be the first to say he has great employees, administrators, teachers and staff members – but he won’t take credit for hiring, cultivating and promoting them. Just ask two neighboring school corporations that have former WWS administrators as superintendents.

Unfortunately, at some point Keen will retire and like Noblesville, Westfield will have to find a successor. Thankfully that time is not today and hopefully isn’t tomorrow, but when it does come let’s hope the district has some more Shamrock luck in finding someone as good as him to carry the torch.

READER’S VIEW Westfield utility transfer finalized We are excited to report the transfer of Westfield Utilities to Citizens Energy Group was completed on March 21. Following the transfer, Citizens Westfield will provide efficient water, sewer and gas service to the community.

Citizens will provide a smooth transition for water and sewer customers, just as they did for natural gas customers when they acquired Westfield Gas in 2004. Initially, the only significant changes will be: • New phone number – Starting March 22, you should begin calling 282-9276 for service issues.

• New post office box – Please note that Citizens Westfield will have a new post office box for billing and payment purposes.

The new address is: Citizens Westfield, P.O. Box 7067, Indianapolis, 46207-7067 • Stormwater and trash billing – Starting in April, the City of Westfield will begin billing you separately each quarter for stormwater and trash.

Starting this week, you will receive your first water and sewer bill from Citizens Westfield.

Westfield customers receiving gas service from Citizens will continue to get a separate bill for gas service. Westfield customers receiving gas service from Vectren will remain with Vectren.

In about a year, Citizens will reformat your

water and sewer bill and offer new billing and payment options. This includes paperless billing, budget billing, and new payment locations in and around Westfield. Citizens will also combine the water, sewer and gas services to one bill.

Citizens has committed to the current fiveyear schedule of modest rate increases approved last year by the Westfield City Council. Because of the association with Citizens Energy Group, Citizens Westfield will be able to achieve efficiencies that will hold down future rate increases.

In addition to ensuring outstanding utility service, the transfer of the water and sewer utilities will provide about $40 million for Westfield’s Where You Want to Be initiative to make much needed infrastructure improvements including new streets, roundabouts, sidewalks and trail expansions. Meanwhile, Citizens will make the utility system investments necessary to facilitate community growth and meet federal clean water and environmental mandates.

Citizens Westfield is committed to supplying the water, sewer and gas service our community needs to grow and prosper. At the same time, Citizens is focused on providing outstanding service at affordable rates.

I hereby rescind my earlier statements regarding competitive dance. No longer do I find it a wonderfully empowering, highhumor quality environment for young people, and I want to get the hell out. These moms are seriously insane.

Now, when I say “these,” I’m not referring to the mothers of my daughter’s teammates.

Honestly, most of them conduct themselves like normal people. They clap politely for other dancers, perhaps a little louder for their own kids, and recognize that the activity they have somehow found themselves hip-deep in, though expensive and drama ridden, is an opportunity for their girls to learn sportsmanship and self-confidence, and, ultimately, to have fun.

No, when I say “these” I am talking about the women who are clearly living vicariously through their petite minis. And the younger the dancer, the crazier the mom. This past weekend, our studio shared a dressing room with three others, so I had front row seats to several stellar Mommy Dearest performances. One in particular had me riveted. This mom was so aggressively wiping foundation off her 4-year-old that her child was moved to tears.

Out in the auditorium, the atmosphere was even worse, especially during the hour-long awards ceremony. I had to leave twice because the two mothers in front were so obnoxious,

you’d have thought their daughters had won Olympic gold, instead of participatory medals.

Participatory!

And that’s another thing, I’ve now been to three dance competitions, and all three had different award levels. First Place, Ultimate Elite, Platinum . . . What the hoo-ha? Why isn’t this standardized? Not that it really matters. From what I saw, technique wasn’t near as important as showmanship, and the more skin a toddler revealed the better. A 3-year-old took home a judge’s award after gyrating on stage in a bikiniturned-monkey costume. Sure, it was cute, but at the same time, pre-school stripper acts probably shouldn’t be spotlighted!

Maybe I’m too old to tolerate the shenanigans, or maybe it was just this particular event, but whatever the reason, dance competitions have become my headache-inducing nemeses. And as much as I’ve complained about spending hours on a frozen soccer field or in a humid natatorium, I would gladly take those over the dance scene.

If only my daughter didn’t love it so much. The silver lining (or diamond or bronze, depending) is that I’m sure to have plenty of solid crazy-mom for months to come! Peace out.

Belfry to show Midwest premiere of Dudzick play

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville’s Belfry Theatre is making history – again – with another production from New York playwright Tom Dudzick. theatre Beginning March 28, the Belfry will perform the Midwest premiere of “Miracle of South Division Street” for eight performances.

“I tend to be a fan of dramaties (dramatic comedies) – there’s truth, crying and a lot of comedy. In the end you feel good walking out the door,” Director Christy Clinton said. “I like plays with good characters and great lines that make me laugh when I’m reading it.”

In 1943, Ruth Nowak’s grandfather proclaimed his vision of the Blessed Mother and had a statue built to honor her in their Buffalo neighborhood. Nearly 60 years later, “Our Lady of South Division” remains, and the story of “The Miracle” has been passed down and recited by daughter, Clara Nowak, and her three children.

Now, it seems that there might be more to the story, and Ruth wants to tell the world in a onewoman show. First, she knows she must tell her family, and hopefully get their blessings.

“This show is one that will draw the audience in. People can relate to it and more importantly,

this show has deep-rooted thoughts. It’s important to have a show with meaning and this is one,” said Becca Wenning, who plays Ruth.

Kelly BeDell, who plays Beverly, said the story is one that any family can appreciate.

“The very first time I read the script I was rolling on the floor laughing because it’s a comedy about a family. I could see my family coming across in something like this. I could see their reactions,” she said.

The Belfry is the second community theater to perform “Miracle on South Division Street” – the first being a playhouse in California. The play opened in May 2009 in Stony Point, N.Y., and the closest professional performance was in Pennsylvania. For the actors, the premiere gives them the chance to put their stamp on the characters.

“It’s very easy because it is an open door. You are the first. Your interpretation is the first one the audience will see. You get to bring it to life for the first time. It’s exciting but a little bit of pressure,” BeDell said.

“It’s your creation from the beginning. There are no preconceptions about the part. You discover the part on your own and as an actor that is always fun,” said Diann Ryan, who plays the family matriarch Clara.

Clinton has communicated with Dudzick for his

insights to assist her and the actors with the play.

“There’s been a couple of parts I didn’t understand the choices he made. I get the flow from his vision as we rehearse. It’s great having that support. It’s an added dimension you don’t get otherwise,” she said.

“It’s been unique. With playwrights like Shakespeare you obviously can’t do this; this play is modern. He’s available and it’s really neat to ask the playwright, ‘What were you thinking about when you wrote this?’ He has the whole thing engraved in his brain. It’s interesting to have this process,” BeDell said.

The show will actually be unique as Dudzick sent a couple script changes to incorporate in Noblesville’s production.

“It’s fun to know we’re not just following the crowd. We’re bringing new things to the community,” Dudzick said. “You have to come here to see this. When people see it, they’ll want to do it because it’s good.”

‘Anything Goes’ in the game of love

By Patricia Rettig • editorial@youarecurrent.com Get on board for some delightful and de-lovely entertainment as the nautical musical “Anything Goes” comes to Beef & Boards theatre Dinner Theatre starting April 3.

Recently revived on Broadway, this lighthearted Cole Porter classic celebrates its 80th anniversary this year.

An amusing story wrapped around one of the magical scores of native Hoosier Cole Porter, “Anything Goes” sends the age-old tale of boymeets-girl out to sea aboard the ocean liner S.S. American. Young travelers fall in love at first sight, but the girl is already engaged! Throw in some disguised characters, blackmail and tapdancing sailors, and it adds up to an upbeat production that’s the top.

The musical features songs like “Friendship,” “It’s De-Lovely,” “I Get A Kick Out Of You,” “You’re the Top,” and the title song, “Anything Goes.” And it’s meant to be a sing-along, so don’t feel bad about tapping your toes to this feel-good musical.

Timothy Ford stars as Billy Crocker, a young broker in love. Ford last enchanted Beef & Boards audiences as Don Lockwood in “Singin’ In The Rain.” Whitney Meyer, who played Cosette in “Les Misérables” last season, returns to the Beef & Boards stage as Hope Harcourt, the debutante engaged to marry Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, played by audience favorite Jeff Stockberger.

• Homes in Westfield are selling at a level rate. Overall, homes were on the market for an average of 91 days, two more days than this time last year.

This prolonged winter weather has certainly affected the housing market, just as it has for other sectors. But spring is around the corner, and with it will come a revival in home sales.

Building permits show housing boom coming news@currentinwestfield.com February permit reports indicate that in the central Indiana area, single-family building permits increased new homes 26 percent over January numbers.

There were 379 new home permits issued in February compared to 300 in January – a 26 percent increase.

In central Indiana, the permits issued through February 2014 have created a total economic impact of $121,597,902 in local in-

come, $27,604,737 in local taxes, and 2,029 local jobs, year-to-date.

“The harsh weather remains a huge factor in our February permit numbers but the numbers remain strong,” said Steve Lains, CEO of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. “Market analysts predict a steady increase in permit activity in 2014 and I suspect once we see a rise in temperatures, we’ll see the predicted uptick in our numbers, creating a substantial economic development impact in the greater Indianapolis area,” Lains said.

Cave beneath Basilica of the Annunciation (Photo by Don Knebel)

Nazareth: Where was Gabriel?

Commentary by Don Knebel

Every March 25, just after the vernal equinox and exactly nine months before Christmas, thousands of pilgrims come to Nazareth travel to remember the “Annunciation,” the time Christians believe the angel Gabriel revealed to Mary she would conceive the Son of God. Roman Catholics head for the Basilica of the Annunciation, the largest church in the Middle East. Greek Orthodox visitors go instead to the smaller Church of St. Gabriel. Each church claims to lie over the exact spot where Gabriel encountered Mary. Based on a writing unknown to most Christians, both churches may be right.

The Greek Orthodox Church of St. Gabriel lies over an ancient spring, visible below the church, which first became a church site early in the fourth century. The original church was built

by Roman Emperor Constantine, apparently at the urging of one Count Joseph, who claimed Gabriel had spoken to Mary at the spring. Less than half a mile away, the Franciscan Basilica of the Annunciation lies above a cave claimed to have been the childhood home of Mary when Gabriel came calling. The first church on this site was built sometime after 383, when a Spanish

nun, named Lady Egeria, visited Nazareth and returned saying that she had found the cave in which Mary lived. Today, that cave is a grotto under the church, with stairs leading to a room claimed to be Mary’s kitchen, and a column marking the traditional spot where Gabriel stood while making his momentous announcement.

The Gospel of Luke, the only Biblical account of the Annunciation, says only that Gabriel came to Mary at “Nazareth, a town in Galilee.” The Infancy Gospel of James, a popular second century text elaborating on the Biblical narratives about Mary, reports that Gabriel first approached Mary as she was fetching water for her jar and then completed his revelation in Mary’s home, to which she had retreated, trembling with fear.

Next year, maybe visitors to Nazareth will refer to their copies of the Infancy Gospel of James, now available online, and conclude they could appropriately celebrate the Annunciation in both churches. One can hope.

Spring is in the air and we just got an extra hour of daylight. Pretty soon windows will be opened up with fresh air blowoutdoors ing through the house. This is a signal to most gardeners to get outside and start preparing your yard and garden for spring plantings. March is time to clean the yard, prepare garden beds, start indoor vegetable seeds and watch for early spring blooms.

Some gardeners like to grow their own vegetable transplants and others prefer to pick them up from the local garden center. For those that enjoy the whole process from start to finish, C R O C O A T H P I T A N O R I A L I S L O O M B O T A A K A M L I O U N D A C N E P I E R B A R N

Space saving ideas for your kitchen

Commentary by David Decker

It’s no secret that the kitchen has to be a place for multitasking. Everything from meals, to entertaining, homework time indoors and house storage is often done in the kitchen. The big question is: Does your kitchen have enough space to accommodate all of these different functions?

Implementing some space saving solutions into your kitchen can help you create a beautiful space that meets everyone in the family’s needs.

Make it easy to navigate, and your cabinetry design can help you make the most of every square inch of kitchen storage space. Consider installing higher cabinets where you can store some of the more infrequently used items. Creating more built-in storage means your kitchen will appear more spacious, inviting and tidy. Within your cabinetry, try installing lazy-Susans, pullout shelves, or deep drawers to maximize the space.

You can even install appliance garages to store toasters, mixers, juicers and more, so that they are out of sight when not in use. There are even cabinetry designs that feature built-in spice racks, trashcans or utensil organizers, so you can use every last inch of available space.

For many homeowners, the functionality of a kitchen begins with a well-designed island. Because most islands require quite a bit of space, it’s important to strategically plan your design.

You may want to select a moveable island in-

stead of a built-in, stationary one. Be sure to select an island size and style that won’t overwhelm your kitchen.

You can also use a bit of visual trickery to make the kitchen look larger. Open and glass cabinet doors can make a room feel bright, airy and more spacious. A mirrored backsplash is an inventive way to make a space look larger. Additionally, if you choose a light paint color that matches your cabinetry or countertops, this can trick the eye into seeing more space.

There are also some practical arrangements and strategies you can do to increase the amount of space in your kitchen. Use every inch of wall space for shelving, storage and hooks.

Organize your pots and pans using a pot rack, which can hang over the range. Use trays or storage containers to cut down on clutter. To make the kitchen table area easier to navigate, select a chair set that doesn’t have arms.

The key to creating a space savvy kitchen is planning. Use every square inch effectively and you’ll be surprised at the transformation.
