Earley – Trend spotters agree: Chevron is hot. Decorating columnist Vicky Earley writes about how the v-shaped pattern slips in easily where vertical stripes were once the star, the horizontal nature of the chevron makes it the unexpected element that makes a room interesting. Since the Chevron is a blend of history with cleaner lines, it does provide an immediate and pronounced rejuvenation for a sleepy décor.

‘Desirable’ school land for sale news@currentinwestfield.com Westfield Washington Schools has put 14.1 acres up for sale. The district is taking bids on the property located at U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 through May 15.

“Developers have indicated the 14.1 acres at U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 may be the most desirable intersection in all of Hamilton County,” said WWS Supt. Mark Keen.

The acreage includes the administration building, football/track stadium, junior varsity baseball field and practice fields. At the end of the bid period, the board of school trustees will decide

whether to accept the highest bid or decline all offers and market the land in a different fashion.

While the land sale funds could be used to finish the community stadium, Keen has highlighted other areas to use the money.

“It is our hope that we will raise all the funds for the stadium and can use the money from the land sale to lower our debt and reduce the tax rate,” Keen said. “Additionally, the land sale would have further impact on the tax rate as the ground would move from being non-taxable to taxable.”

The New Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines Are Here!

The much anticipated revisions to the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines (IPTG) took effect on March 1, 2013. These are the guidelines in which judges base their custody and parenting time decisions. Below are some answers to FAQ: How will the new guidelines affect my current parenting time schedule? If you currently have a court order to follow the IPTG, then the new guidelines will have no affect on your parenting time. The new IPTG will only apply to new orders of parenting time or those taking effect on or after March 1, 2013. However, if your current order with respect to parenting time or custody is modified by the Court in the future; the new IPTG will likely be implemented at that time.

Can I move to modify my current order to implement the new IPTG? No, you cannot file a motion with the court for the sole purpose of implementing the new IPTG. However, parents are not prevented from agreeing to follow the revised IPTG. If both parents agree that they wish to follow the new IPTG, they must put their agreement in writing and file with the court for approval. Otherwise, the agreement will not be enforceable.

Glenn Davis

Matt Lutz

How do the new IPTG differ from the current IPTG? There have been no changes to the weekly schedule of parenting time. The main changes are with respect to the holiday and special day schedules. Under the current IPTG there are no provisions for dividing Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend, President’s Day weekend or fall break. The new IPTG have added these as holidays to be alternated between the parents. Under the new IPTG, Christmas break and New Year’s holiday have been consolidated into one holiday and divided equally.

Under the current IPTG they are two separate holidays.

The revised IPTG give additional guidance regarding division of breaks for children attending schools with year round or balanced calendars. The current IPTG divide all breaks equally between the parties but neglect to assign which parent receives which half. The revised IPTG alternate the first half and second half of the breaks from year to year.

The revised IPTG no longer include the provision preventing either party from exercising three weekends in a row due to holiday parenting time. The revised IPTG allow the parties to maintain alternating weekends throughout the year. Holidays still take precedence over regular weekend parenting time.

Additionally, there have been some clarifications with respect to the opportunity for additional parenting time (Right of First Refusal). This provision states that when a parent requires childcare by someone other than a family member, that they must offer this time to the other parent first. The revised IPTG provide further guidance regarding the definition of “family member” with the term “responsible household” family member being added to the guidelines.

The commentary defines household family member as “an adult person residing in the household, who is related to the child by blood, marriage or adoption.”

The above highlights some but not all of the revisions to the IPTG. If you have questions about the new guidelines, divorce, custody or other family law matter, contact Harden Jackson Law at www.hardenjacksonlaw.com or at 317.569.0770.

Watch for discolored water news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Public Works Dept. will begin its biannual fire hydrant flushing Monday and end on May 4. WPWD is urging all residents to be aware of the flushing in their respective areas and that temporary water discoloration could result.

Hydrant flushing is required periodically to scour the distribution system water mains. Flushing will occur between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. During this process, WPWD crews will be working to remove iron and manganese that builds up in the water mains. Removing these substances ensures the cleanest water possible is provided to all residents.

“We are asking the residents to be patient and cooperate with us during this process,” WPWD Water Supt. Jeremy Lollar said. “If customers see a discoloration in their water, we would ask them to let the water run at waste at maximum volume for approximately two to three minutes, or until the discoloration disappears.

It is imperative that this process occur so that our residents receive only the best quality water.”

WPWD urges its customers to minimize water usage from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. to minimize the potential of receiving discolored water. Activities such as laundry and cooking should not be done during those hours.

For additional information, contact the city’s public affairs office at 804-3150.

New fireworks laws approved

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield has become the latest city to issue stricter fireworks restrictions.

The City Council has approved a new ordinance prohibiting fireworks within Westfield at all times and locations with the exception of the following dates and times: • Between the hours of 5 p.m. and two hours after sunset on June 29 and 30, and July 1 through 3 and July 5 through 9.

• Between the hours of 10 a.m. and midnight on July 4.

• Between the hours of 10 a.m. Dec. 31 and 1 a.m. Jan. 1.

• Any other time and location duly authorized by the City of Westfield by permit to be obtained prior to the scheduled event.

“It’s meeting the state law. Any day, any time other than that, you can’t do it,” said Council Vice President John Dippel.

Before voting, council members took the proposal to WECAN twice for public and business input.

“It’s not only around the holidays but regular nights,” Council member Bob Smith said about public complaints.

“I receive more complaints from residents on fireworks than anything else. Not to say that’s a lot. People are very frustrated this goes on. It’s very annoying. We are allowing the days it is cel-

ebratory,” Council member Steve Hoover said.

The ordinance is not exclusive to noise makers.

“More house fires and personal injuries come from sparklers than anything else,” Smith said.

Previously, the police department was unsuccessful using the noise ordinance to handle complaints. Westfield Police Chief Joel Rush said this ordinance provides his officers with the ability to issue citations to city court.

“We didn’t have the ability to do that before.

There was nothing we could do,” he said.

According to the ordinance, “violations shall be punished by a fine of no more than $500 per incident as well as other penalty provided by the Westfield Code of Ordinances.”

While the burn ban last summer significantly reduced the number of complaints, Rush said summertime is when the police department receives the most calls from the public.

“More so when school starts,” he said. “It gets darker earlier, and kids are in bed.”

COMMUNITY Cover Story

Teacher Kelly Day infuses lessons from her travels into her teaching Photo by Robert Herrington

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Inside Kelly Day’s seventh-grade classroom at Westfield Middle School is a world map she bought when she was in sixth grade.

Scattered across the map are stars placed on nations she has visited.

“I have it in my room to inspire my future travelers,” she said.

“If you have a dream, you have to preserve it.”

Day has traveled to New Zealand, Australia, Spain, France, England, Scotland, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Czech Republic, Canada, Jamaica, Monaco and Vatican City. She said her favorite, culturally, was Spain, where she taught English for a summer, but her favorite location was New Zealand, where she backpacked for two months last summer.

“It’s a world’s mosaic. It’s the best parts of the world because it has volcanoes, mountains, beaches, tropical forests, and glaciers,” she said.

Day’s love for traveling came from her parents.

“They’d spend money on experiences, not things,” she said. “I now have friends from all over the world from traveling alone. I caught the traveling bug, and oh, boy, is it an expensive disease.”

When school is out, so is Day – traveling to another new place.

“My philosophy is, I always do something,” she said. “We have freedom during the summer to enrich ourselves to better our students.”

Day was recently awarded a $10,000 Lilly Endowment Fellowship to pursue a broad range of imaginative projects designed to infuse her busy life with personal renewal, intellectual revitalization, and a healthy dose of fun.

“I feel incredibly blessed to have the opportunity because there is no way I could do this without the Lilly Foundation,” Day said. “I’ve been working and researching this since college and to further the research and go there means the world.” www.currentinwestfield.com

She was chosen for her program, “The Asian Equation,” and will visit math classrooms in five top-performing Asian nations (Singapore/ Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, South Korea, China and possibly Japan); observe and talk with teachers to learn their depth of knowledge and teaching techniques; and experience Asian culture. Her program is based on her senior thesis in college: international achievement in mathematics.

Meet Kelly Day

• Age: 26 • Hometown: Crawfordsville • Residence: Westfield • Education: Bachelor’s degree in math education from Indiana Wesleyan University and master’s degree in education administration from Purdue University.

• Hobbies: Olympics, traveling and cooking “Asian countries outperform any other country in the world and teachers in Asia have a profound understanding of mathematics after they become teachers,” she said. “It’s going to be an amazing experience.”

Day is one of 100 educators selected from across the state to receive the award. The recipients of these fellowships are selected from a competitive pool of applicants; approximately 450 educators applied this year. She will visit Asia for six to eight weeks during the summer.

“My No. 1 passion is teaching. No. 2 is traveling which makes sense because when you travel, you’re a student,” she said. “It’s all about learning the culture and growing as much as possible.”

While she teaches math, Day said her traveling experiences translate to the classroom when discussing percents, ratios and proportions with currency exchanges, economy and money lessons.

“They connect more easily with firsthand accounts,” she said.

Current in Westfield

“Asia is also a major standard in seventh-grade social studies.”

Day has been teaching seventh grade at WMS for four years – her first job out of college.

“I can’t believe how blessed I am to teach here. I really truly love teaching. I come in every day and I can’t believe I’m doing this,” she said.

She credits her middle-school math teacher, Karen Frodge, with her career in education. As a seventh-grade student, Day was placed in sixth-grade remedial math.

“She recognized that there was more to me than that. She really pushed me and that sparked the rest of my academic career. I worked really, really hard,” she said. “I really built a foundation so when I got to high school math was easy.”

By her junior her at Crawfordsville High School, Day had taken every math course available to students. She later graduated third in her class and magna cum lade at Indiana Wesleyan University.

“I love junior high math. If you can get a junior high student to like math and believe they can do it, it changes the rest of their life. If you wait until high school, it’s too late,” she said.

Day said her challenges with math at the same age as her students allow her to commiserate with the struggles of not comprehending concepts.

“I don’t let them say, ‘I don’t get it.’ It’s, ‘I don’t get it yet,’” she said. “I don’t think like a typical math person, and I don’t run my class like a typical math person. I share how I got through that stumbling block.”

Her teaching style is a hit with her students.

“I personally think she’s a great math teacher,” seventh-grader Ashlyn Bordigon said. “She interacts with us a lot.”

“I’ve had my best math grades ever in this class,” said seventhgrade student Michael Koza. “She explains it better than any other math teacher I’ve had before.”

VIEWS Opinion

It’s a real plum for the Palladium Follow the North Star It is our position that Conner Prairie Interactive History Park’s Follow The North Star is a powerful learning experience in diversity that should not be missed, especially for history enthusiasts.

This nationally-acclaimed, award-winning special program transcends books and movies by transforming participants into the role of a fugitive slave on the Underground Railroad, fleeing from captivity and risking everything for freedom. Since 1998, nearly 60,000 people have participated in this program that is only offered during the months of April and November.

As with all of Conner Prairie’s interactive programs, this period in history is flawlessly recreated, complete with a mock slave auction, a chance to escape into the dark woods, the bone-chilling fear of being chased by slave hunters and ultimately ending at the safe haven of a Quaker family. Why is it important to leave the comforts of the world you know to experience one of the most terrifying and disturbing periods of history?

Hopefully, it will lead to a better understanding of those who endured the unthinkable and an appreciation of the bravery of those who risked it all for freedom.

Reservations are required and can be made by calling 776-6006 or visiting www. connerpraire.org.

Healthcare tough-love

Commentary by Terry Anker

Around our house, taking a sick day is not terribly common place – mostly because we’re blessed that our family is fairly hearty stock.

So far, we’ve logged very few days off work or school and even fewer visits to the emergency room. That’s not to say that we are immune to illness, but it seems we’ve missed many of the travails that plague so many families. But even still, we are loath to wave the white flag and surrender to ailment. Unless there is profuse bleeding or a fever that measures so high that there is concern about the efficacy of the thermometer, it feels awkward to claim a day off.

It seems embarrassingly weak. It seems like a personal failure.

The question is routinely framed: could we make it to the office? Of course, we probably could. Our productivity might be worthless.

Our coworkers would likely be exposed to our germs. And, our judgment might put our employer at risk. But, we could manage to drive

in, park and sit at our desk. Would it make more sense if the frame were: should we make it to the office? What value might we hope to bring?

My eldest this week came home early from school – sick. The nurse called and asked that we rescue him from her care. In his 11 years of out-of-home education, we’ve had less than a handful of these calls. It was good that he came home. He needed the care. After a couple of days of rest and starving the fever, he is on the mend. He didn’t need television or cell phones or his favorite foods in bed.

Somehow, we’re not the least bit surprised that Gov. Mike Pence and the Indiana Arts Commission chose the Center for the Performing Arts as the host site for the 2013 Governor’s Arts Awards this fall. In our minds, it comes down to this: Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, the Center’s president and chief executive officer, has – yes, again - made good on her promise to bring a wide variety of events to the campus.

We’ve come to expect that. Her leadership is at once thoughtful and decisive. She is relentless in pursuit of presenting acts and events that will resonate in the Central Indiana arts community, if not beyond. She is passionate about her role in helping to shape the future of the performing arts for this region, and last week’s joint announcement by Pence and the IAC was proof that her efforts again have borne fruit.

“The Palladium stage is the perfect place for Indiana’s best and brightest, having become a landmark of excellence through the presentation of artists from all over the world,” she stated last week. According to the IAC, the awards recognize excellence in artistic achievement, philanthropy, arts education, and leadership in the arts, and at the same time build statewide awareness of the important role the arts play in Indiana.

As for the Center and the year ahead, we hear a Palladium schedule is being rounded out and will be rolled out sometime in the next month.

While we have no particulars, our understanding is that the lineup – covering country, pop, classical and jazz music - is going to be considered the best yet. Fitting, isn’t it, considering Moskalenko’s ambition for excellence in all areas, programming included?

Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy, the Vietnam War, the Summer of Love, student protests/college life, or simply a particular song that had an impact on you or your friends at the time.

Pleased with the postman

Editor, I came home the other day to a broken mailbox. The driver must have accidentally broken the part of my mailbox that holds my flag used for mail to be picked up when he went to place the flag down. I’m sure this happened accidentally. I called the post office to see if that is something they covered and they said no, it

could have been because of normal wear and tear. However, a gentleman named Phil said he would personally take a look at it.

I came home today and went to check the mail and the part that was broken had been fixed. I found out that Phil’s name is Phil Garcia and that he had went to Lowes and bought the part and fixed it himself. I was hoping you

Soups marry the seasons Get Cooking! by Claudia Pierson On the cusp of the bounty of spring yet still craving the comfort foods of winter, these two soups will join the two seasons for you with the warmth and freshness of each.

French Onion Soup (serves 6) Soup: 1/2 cup butter, 2 sweet onions thinly sliced, 2 granny smith apples, skin on, sliced thin, 3 bay leaves, 4 sprigs of fresh thyme stripped, 2 garlic cloves chopped, 3 tablespoons flour, 2 quarts beef stock, 1cup red wine Crostini: 1 baguette sliced thin - 12 slices, 3 cups of shredded Gruyere cheese or Swiss, Bake at 350 degrees until crisp and cheese is browned Soup: Melt the butter in a stock pot, adding the onions, apples, garlic, bay leaves, thyme. Cook until onions are soft and caramelized. Add the wine.

Bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until wine is evaporated. Remove the bay leaves.

Sift flour over the onions/apples and continue to simmer on low and stir constantly. Add the beef stock whisking it into the onions. Bring up to a low boil and cook for 5 minutes. Serve with the crostini on top.

Minted Pea Soup (serves 6) Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter, 1 cup chopped yellow onion, 1 1/2 cup chopped leeks, 4 cups chicken stock, 5 cups fresh peas or 20 ounces of frozen peas, 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves chopped and (6) small leaves set aside, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, Crème fraiche Directions: Saute the onion, leeks, butter on low until onions are just about to brown. Boil fresh peas for three minutes until tender or frozen for 10 minutes. Drain completely. In a blender puree small amounts of the stock, peas, onion mixture and mint. Pour in batches into a small stock pan, warm for serving. Top each bowl with a small dollop crème fraiche and mint leaf. Heavy cream may be swirled into each bowl if crème fraiche is not available Claudia Pierson is owner of To The Last Drop, a catering and cooking class establishment in downtown Zionsville.

a thin flexible wire, known as a lead, to deliver an electrical shock to the heart when the heart rate becomes dangerously fast.

“While expanding on the benefits of singlechamber ICDs, the new technology provides us with atrial sensing capabilities and home monitoring to keep an eye on important atrial conditions such as A-fib,” Rose said.

The DX System also integrates with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring, allowing physicians to remotely follow their DX patients’ clinical and device statuses daily at anytime, anywhere in the world. The cellular-based platform can detect clinically relevant events, including silent, asymptomatic arrhythmias and device related issues, allowing for earlier medical intervention.

St.Vincent makes Top 100 list – St.Vincent Indianapolis Hospital has been named to the list of 100 Hospitals with Great Neurosurgery and Spine Programs by Becker’s Hospital Review. Hospitals were selected based on nominations, clinical accolades, quality care and other spine and neurosurgical proficiencies. “We are proud to be honored as a top 100 hospital in the nation for neurosurgery and spine care,” said Kim Springer, executive director for St.Vincent Neuroscience Institute. “We make every effort to ensure that our patients receive the highest quality of care through all areas of neuroscience.” In 2002, St.Vincent expanded its neuroscience service line through the formation of the Indiana Neuroscience Institute. The structure of the program offered a formalized opportunity for St.Vincent to work collaboratively with five affiliated physician practices: Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine; Indiana Neuroscience Associates; Josephson-Wallack-Munshower Neurology; Northwest Radiology Network; and the pediatric neuroscience specialists at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent. The institute specializes in areas of brain and spine tumors; neuroscience traumas and emergencies; cerebrovascular, epilepsy and seizure; movement disorders, neuromuscular and sleep.

Home sales continue to increase

By Jim Litten • news@currentinwestfield.com More than 2,000 homes pended in February, with all but one Central Indiana county reporting increased sales compared to the same time last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Co. Overall, February 2013 pended home sales rose 8.1 percent over February 2012, an increase of 152 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks.

Real estate sales are off to a good start this year, and as the national economy has improved, we are seeing a spark in the local housing market as well. Hamilton County is one of the areas in Central Indiana seeing positive trends.

• In Hamilton County last month, 392 homes pended which is an increase of 20 homes compared to February of last year.

• Despite the uptick in Hamilton County, Westfield experienced a decline. In February 2013, 45 homes pended – a decrease of eight homes compared to February 2012.

• Housing prices in Westfield continue to A million dollars in four hours – The cult following of the TV show “Veronica Mars” has to be happy. A kickstarter for a movie adaptation shattered records earlier this month, drumming up $1 million in less than four-and-a-half hours. – www.money. cnn.com

Sales are up... the number of homes for sale is down.

It’s a GREAT time to sell your home.

make year-over-year gains. Last month, the average sales price climbed to $263,707, an increase of 18.8 percent compared to February of last year.

• Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; three were priced $500,000 to $999,999; nine were priced $300,000 to $499,999; nine were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 21 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and two were priced at $99,999 or less.

• Prospective home buyers in Westfield are discovering the supply of available homes is getting smaller. Last month, 196 homes were on the market, down 36.4 percent compared to February 2012.

With the national unemployment rate at its lowest level in four years and the stock market experiencing a rebound, we anticipate that confidence will grow here in Central Indiana and continue to fuel housing sales.

Big money for sports – The University of Louisville came into the NCAA tournament with the highest ranking. They’re doing well off the court and in the world of finance, also. Last year the university made big cash – to the tune of $26.9 million from the basketball program alone. – www.money. cnn.com

LIFESTYLE Grammar Guy

Graduating from grammar school Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “I have two grammatical questions.

Which is correct: “almost always” or “most always?” It seems to be the new thing to say “most always.” I have always said “almost always” in a sentence.

The second question is: “Graduate high school/college” or “graduate from high school/ college.” I learned “graduate from high school/college.” (Donna Jelgerhuis, Westfield) Answer: Thanks for writing in, Donna. To knock out your first question: Never fear, you’ve been using proper grammar all along. “Most always” is simply slang. It’s the grammatical equivalent of only raising your arms to shoulder level during jumping jacks.

To answer your question about the verb “to graduate,” we need a quick course in transitive and intransitive verbs. A transitive verb is one which requires a direct object. Examples of transitive verbs include “catch,” “eat” and “read” (“catch the ball,” “eat your dinner,” “read a book”). Intransitive verbs require no direct object: “Jim complained.” “Sally jumped.” “Mike ran.”

You will often find intransitive verbs followed by an adverb or prepositional phrase to further de-

scribe the action: “Sally jumped over the hurdle.”

What makes “graduate” a little tricky is that it can be both a transitive and intransitive verb.

As a transitive verb, “graduate” means to grant an academic degree: “Butler University graduated 500 students last spring.” As an intransitive verb, “graduate” means to be granted an academic degree: “I graduated from high school with a 4.0” Technically it should probably be “I was graduated,” but I think that usage hast mostly fallen by the wayside.

When you say, “I graduated high school,” “high school” acts as a direct object. This turns “graduated” into a transitive verb, and makes the sentence mean, “I granted my high school a diploma.” The correct way to express your own graduation is intransitively: “I graduated from high school.” You could also simply say: “I graduated.” Or, as I said when I finally graduated: “Woohoo!”

What makes “graduate” a little tricky is that it can be both a transitive and intransitive verb.

These are facts!

Keith has sold nearly 300 MORE homes in Carmel in the last 10 years than other top agents!

April 18, 2013

Woodland Country Club Shopping begins 5:30 p.m.

Dinner 6:45 p.m.

Removing a wall opens up kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home was a spec home built in 1984 and is located north of Westfield. The homeowners are the original owners.

WHY REMODEL: “The 29-year-old kitchen needed an update. We were looking to make the kitchen more open and larger. We also wanted to take advantage of new technology by getting new appliances. We have a more modern style throughout our home, and we wanted the kitchen to match.”

DESIGN PHASE: In line with the contemporary style, flat plane doors were placed into the original design. The homeowners were also attracted to the look of bamboo cabinets. Rather than using such an expensive wood species that would have taken the homeowners outside of their budget, the final design called for high-definition laminate with texture. This option offered the look of bamboo, giving the cabinets character and depth, without the large price tag. The homeowners also wanted to open the kitchen up to the dining room using a built-in buffet design.

This goal was achieved by replacing the wall with upper and lower cabinets and a countertop. According to the owners, “We had no idea what we really wanted. We just told the design team we liked a contemporary style. The designer helped us come up with options and then walked us through the process to the final design.”

REMOVING WALL: The removal of the wall made a large impact. “Taking out the wall made the kitchen look twice as big as the original. We especially love the look of the new floor and the backsplash.”

FAVORITE FEATURES: The homeowners are pleased with the new kitchen. “We are still learning how to use all of the new technology in our kitchen appliances. We were slow to remodel, but now that we have done the kitchen, we want to do the whole house!”

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling Indy, a fullservice design/build remodeling firm serving Boone, Hamilton, and Marion Counties. Contact him at 846-2600 or lgreene@caseindy.com.
