Differing views shown in forum Compiled by James Feichtner and Robert Herrington

A Westfield political forum was hosted on March 26, 7 p.m. at the Westfield Intermediate School Media Room. The questions focused on election each candidates vision for Westfield. Candidate answer highlights: Candidate answer highlights: District 2 Bob Beaudry: A Purdue University graduate, Beaudry has worked at his family’s business, Indy Screen Print, for the past 25 years and spent three years on the Countryside HOA board. Beaudry said he is private industry friendly and is concerned with the amount being spent on public projects like Grand Park and Grand Junction Plaza. “I don’t care what the (sports committee) experts say, it’s our money,” he said. “The pace in which we are moving is not healthy … We need to step back and take a more modest approach.”

Steve Hoover: His public service began before his first term on Jan. 1, 2012. He has been a part of the Grand Junction Task Group, Springmill Station Task Group, advisory plan commission, Westfield Rotary and Westfield-Washington Historical Society.

Hoover said his No. 1 priority is public safety and is focused on continuing to grow the tax base, bring in businesses and increasing recreational trails. Hoover supports the Grand Park project and his decision to fund it. “This was built as an economic development tool. We’re already seeing it will do that,” he said.

District 3 Joe Edwards: A Butler grad and long-time Westfield resident, Edwards focused on the importance of growth along Ind. 31 to improve the tax base and add jobs. Working carefully to manage the growth brought on by Grand Park in order to maintain tax caps, was also emphasized. Edwards also specified that the importance of revitalizing the downtown area to add to the cities appeal.

Bob Smith: As a past Westfield Fire Department volunteer, full-time firefighter and fire chief of WFD, Smith has been involved with the city since 1974.

Seeking his third year on the council, Smith emphasized he has dealt with the growth of Westfield since his time with WFD, also citing the lowered tax rates over past years. He detailed his confidence in Grand Park attracting new business as well as its contributions to Hamilton County as a whole, but focused on the need for more efforts to retain visitors of Grand Park to local business in Westfield, such as through more hotels.

District 4 *Bobby Smith was unable to attend the forum.

Chuck Lehman: Prior to moving to Westfield

in 2011, Lehman served as a county commissioner, town councilor and as president of a multi-county regional planning commission. He was appointed to the city council in 2013 and currently serves as president. Lehman said his goals are to continue to improve the quality of life in Westfield, engage and connect the community, and define “who we are going to be.” While not involved in the original decisions about Grand Park, Lehman said he supports the project. “It’s been successful. The best years are yet to come,” he said.

Daniel McKinney: The youngest of the councilor candidates, McKinney has lived in Westfield for 16 years and in Hamilton County his whole life. After high school, he worked as a correctional officer at the Hamilton County Jail before enrolling at Indiana University where he graduated with a degree from the Kelley School of Business. McKinney said he supports private development that is not done through public subsidiaries and maintaining and improving roads and infrastructure. McKinney said Grand Park should have been privately funded. “Grand Park is not a public park.

The public could not use it all,” he said.

District 5 Brian Ferguson: With his academic background in business finance form Indiana University and mathematics from Purdue, Ferguson focused heavily on the lack of public referendums regarding the decision of Grand Park’s indoor soccer facility and that its financing methods should have been looked at more carefully. He stated that the project should not have been publicly funded, but still believes that the park must be managed carefully regarding growth down the road. Ferguson was opposed to heavy modifications to downtown Westfield and believes only slight changes should be made.

Jim Horkay: A current member of the town council and former member of the plan commission, has lived in Wesfield with his wife since 1988. Horkay was pleased with the progress that Westfield has built but feels there is much more progress to be made, especially in terms of growth. Horkay mentioned Grand Park as a center for growth that will help versify the tax base and that it has already shown the benefits of attracting interest in development for the community. He stated that the funds for Grand Park were appropriate and that residents must continue to look at it as an economic development generator. Looking forward, Horkay is excited to get Grand Junction started and that improvements to make downtown more attractive to visitors is crucial in order to play off Grand Park’s visitors. * Because of space the council at-large and mayor highlights may be found online. An expanded preview of those races will be in a future edition of Current in Westfield.

Protecting religious freedom Commentary by State Sen. Luke Kenley

westfield embraces diversity

Legislation to protect Hoosiers’ religious liberty from government abuse was recently signed into law by Gov. Mike Pence. opinion This legislation – Senate Enrolled Act 101 – has been widely mischaracterized by its opponents. As a supporter of the bill and a strong proponent of religious freedom, I want to set the record straight.

Opponents of the bill claim it creates a “license to discriminate.” This claim is unfounded.

In fact, this law, commonly referred to as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, is simply aimed at preventing government from trampling on the free exercise of religion in Indiana.

It does this by establishing a strict test for courts to use when reviewing state and local government actions that may impact religious freedom. Specifically, the RFRA says that the government of Indiana (including local governments) cannot “substantially burden” the legitimate exercise of religion unless the action furthers a “compelling governmental interest” using “the least restrictive means.”

At least 30 other states already have this safeguard through a law like Indiana’s or in their

In response to the Freedom and Restoration Act, Westfield officials have released the following statement: “The city of Westfield has gained a national reputation as one of the best places to live, work and raise a family. We have made significant strides in creating an enviable quality of life and in competing in the global economy. Discrimination has no place in our community. We are proud of what we have achieved, and proud of the residents from all walks of life who call Westfield home.”

state constitutions. It is modeled on a federal law that passed unanimously in the U.S. House of Representatives and 97-3 in the U.S. Senate. The federal version was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.

More details about the contents of the bill, may be found online at www.indianasenaterepublicans.com.

Public forum explains U.S. 31 construction

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com As the weather warms up, construction season kicks into a higher gear and crews expect to finish a large amount of the work roads on U.S. 31 by the fall. Officials from INDOT held a public forum at Carmel High School to allow Hamilton County residents the opportunity to ask any questions they have about the project.

In Westfield, the longest closure will occur at 191st Street under U.S. 31 which is currently closed through August and September. Also, 191st and Tomlinson Road is closed until July. There will be approximately 14 day road closures at 181st under U.S. 31 in July/August and 169th street under U.S. 31 in August/September.

Ed Rowland, of Westfield, said he attended because he was interested in finding out about the various closures because he lives near U.S. 31. He thinks when it’s complete it will make his commute so much easier.

Rowland said he appreciated the public forum, as opposed to a Web site, because of human interaction.

“It’s far easier to understand things when I can ask questions and interact with people,” he said.

In Carmel, this year should see road closures for construction limited to predominately from 116th Street to Interstate 465. INDOT spokesman Nathan Riggs said there will be a number of traffic shifts and reroutes to minimize impact.

In some cases, roads and intersections might be closed for approximately 60 days, such as 116th and Pennsylvania streets, which will be closed in August and September, 111th and Pennsylvania, which will be closed in April and May, and 106th Street, which will be close in portions in May and June.

“We don’t have any major impact long term closures, these are all short term,” said Chad Nierman of INDOT. Currently, the city of Carmel has closed 131st Street and Main Street to make improvements along Main Street that will be necessarily given the higher volume of traffic expected from the new U.S. 31. Jeremy Kashman, city engineer for Carmel, said the improvement to the road will be very beneficial to the area and its economic corridor.

“In the middle of July, when we open this up, it’ll look like a completely different area,” he said.

Why did you become a teacher? School has always been a special place for me growing up.

I love that I get to be the beginning of a child’s learning career, and I hope that I can instill in them a love for school, like I had as a child.

What goals do you have for your students? I want them to feel safe to make mistakes, to be kind people and always give things a try- even if it’s hard to do.

What do you encourage parents to do at

home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Talk to them about their day. Talk to them when they are in the car or in the Stovall grocery. So many of the skills we teach in kindergarten can be reinforced in our everyday interactions. That helps instill in them that learning takes place all the time, not just when they are at school.

What is your favorite movie? “Circle of Friends.”

Who is your favorite musician or band?

U2.

What’s something your students might not know about you? I have ridden a camel.

Underground Railroad Run raises $20k

By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com On a sunny, chilly morning hundreds of people attended the 3k walk, 5k run and health fair held by the Westfield Education Foundation as part of its 17th annual Underphilanthropy ground Railroad Run. The Foundation used the sponsors and funds from the run to raise approximately $20,000 for WHS graduates and teacher grants that will help enrich the classrooms to aid all students.

Clay Strycker placed first overall in men’s, followed respectively by Tim Mylin and Reuben Njau. Lynn Marsh placed first in women’s, with Sarah Coates in second and Gina Naas in third.

The path started at the high school and traveled through downtown Westfield and Asa Bales Park.

The highest student registration came from Oak Trace Elementary, earning them a $500 grant to help enhance physical education classes and the ownership of the big traveling trophy for the year. The 18th annual Underground Railroad Run is March 16, 2016.

To relive history, MSP is hosting one of its most successful shows, which also happens to be the first at the playhouse – The Civil War. “April 12 is the anniversary of the firing of Fort Sumter (the shots that started the American Civil War in 1861),” said producer Jan Jamison. “It’s like an anniversary for us, an anniversary for Fort Sumter, which I don’t think you celebrate but Jamison remember. I think that’s part of what this is – not to let those feelings and emotions die. We don’t ever want anything like this to happen on American soil again.”

“It leaves you with some sadness but thought provoking by living through and feeling what some of these folks felt,” Jamison said. “The music is so moving.”

Jamison said the songs are about the emotions of the people living during that time.

“The first song is about the Union and Confederate soldiers gung ho, we’re going to win this battle in a couple of months,” she said. “Then you start seeing wives left at home, the slaves asking ‘What is going to happen to us?’ because if we are free what can we do and them being torn apart. There are stories about nurses taking care of young men that they’ll never know their name, never see them again and they die. Being in that moment is very heart wrenching.”

The Civil War is not a traditional music with individual, self-contained vignettes instead of large cast numbers.

“The show is written more like a theater event. It’s not a normal musical and doesn’t have a lot of dialogue like most musicals have. It’s more like a concert,” Jamison said.

“In a way it’s a little easier than shows where you have dialogue, blocking and songs,” actress Betsy Bullis said.

Of the 20 cast members, Bullis and four others were involved in the original production and have reprised their roles. Bullis plays Lincoln’s secretary and sings “A Candle in the Window.”

“It’s about how I admire Lincoln, how I look to him for hope for the war and the country and I worry about him and how much pressure he is under. How difficult and stressful it is for him,” she said. “I had a great experience the first two times I was in it. I really liked the songs and wanted to sing it again.”

The Civil War

by Frank Wildhorn, Gregory Boyd and Jack Murphy • Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. Ind. 32 West • April 10-12 and 17-19 • 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday • $15 for adults and $13 for seniors and students • 896-2707 • www. westfieldplayhouse.org

“The show is written more like a theater event.

It’s not a normal musical and doesn’t have a lot of dialogue like most musicals have.

It’s more like a concert,”

The cast

Union Army: Brian Koning, Hank Kratky, Andrew Morales and Grady Whitson; slaves: Onis Dean and Jim Washington; youth: Kyler Koning and Mea Puckett; musicians: Kyle Thomas, piano, and Andrew Morales, guitar; Confederate Army: Vince Acceturo, Niles Clark, Thom Johnson and Marc Walter; and ladies: Perry Acceturo, Betsy Bullis, Adriane Clark, Lisa Clark, MaryAnne Matthews, Melissa Puckett, Beth Ray-Scott and Rachael Whitlock.

This time around is extra special for Brian Koning, who plays a Union soldier, as his 12-year-old son Kyler joins him on stage.

“My son is in the show this time and he wasn’t even born last time,” Brian said. “We’re both playing guitar and singing and he is playing harmonica … It’s a great feeling. He’s done a couple of shows locally but this is his first musical.”

Koning said the music is the star of the show.

“I can’t believe this show didn’t get more notoriety on a national stage because the music is great,” he said. “Some of the stuff is almost stuff that could be on country radio today. It’s these nice melodies, some great harmonies and good

’ol knee-slapping gospel.”

Jim Washington sings “River Jordan,” the first act conclusion and show stopper.

“When we do it, it rocks them,” he said. “I could sing that thing all night and twice on Sundays.”

Washington also reprises his role as a slave.

“I told friends that sometimes the title throws people off. I try to have them visualize a musical that’s showing what is going on from a different perspective,” he said. “Some people in the younger crowd have reservations about playing a slave. I try to explain that this happened. You don’t have to feel belittled to play the role of a

slave nowadays.”

This year’s show is directed by Niles Clark, who performed in the original production and is a Gen. George Pickett reenactor.

“I like telling a story by song.

I don’t like talking my lines, I like singing my lines,” he said.

“When we first did it, it was an interesting show. None of Clark us had heard it before and the music really grabbed everyone. When you sang a lot of the songs it came from the heart and soul.

It delivered a strong message.”

Feuding family

FR O M T HE BA C K SH O P

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Pence getting awful advice Gov. Mike Pence, who signed into law last week the contentious Religious Freedom Restoration Act, is taking his fair share of fire from everywhere, much like he did when he announced the formation of a state-run news bureau. While he reeled that initiative back in quickly, he presses forward with the RFRA. He’s on a national TV caravan of sorts, telling viewers in last week, “I abhor discrimination.”

Pence said that he stands by the law and there was never any intent to create a “license to discriminate.” Our state – and, more to the point, our business community - is under duress over the passage of a religious freedom law that critics say could allow businesses to discriminate based on sexual orientation and other viewpoints, Pence’s comments to the contrary. Pence had expected a revision of the legislation on his desk by the end of last week. As we went to press, no progress. The real question, in our opinion, is: Who is advising this guy with the tin ear?

Is he nothing more than a yes man to them?

While we believe it is a business owner’s right to refuse to serve any potential customer, we never would exercise that right. Shoot, if the ghost of Ted Kennedy came into our offices with a check for advertising a “How to (mis)handle liquor” campaign, we’d cash that check. That’s why we’re in business - last we looked - to make money. This act, should it stand, could prove a drain on not only dollars, but also talent and potential business relocation and event/tourism opportunities.

The RFRA doesn’t apply at our publishing company – and it never will - for we welcome the opportunity to interact and assist folks of multiple faiths and lifestyles. With bad advice, Pence has thumbed his nose at the business sector. Hey, anyone for separation of church and state? Our founding fathers certainly were, but that premise and practice have gone the way of the running board.

Balancing the road trip

Commentary by Terry Anker

The family road trip is a rite of passage for many in childhood. Parents pack the car with everything needed – a stocked cooler, pillows, blankets, crayons and a short stack of comic books are all must-haves. Smart parents ensure that each kid has their own separate, but equal, array of stuff. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the pleasure of traveling a long distance with a backseat full of nascent humans knows the gambit of emotion that rides along. Laughter, quiet and even sleep are all on the agenda. But, conflict can be expected as well. It all starts with the pressure of confined space, a perceived slight, or a fight over the last banana. Tempers flair and feelings are hurt. These siblings, the same in so many ways, could not be more at odds.

The adults driving the family truckster intervene to ensure that the vitriol stays in check.

They divide the space, make the kids “stop touching each other”, and usually end with an admonishment to quit “looking” at their brother that way. Essentially, all are urged to keep their

interests balanced against those with whom they are careening along the highway – to get a little perspective.

Since our nation’s founding, Americans have debated, sometimes in a civil way and sometimes not so much, how to draw the line between the various competing freedoms of individual persons. “How dare your liberty impinge on mine?” “What?! It is your liberty that is disrupting me.”

Make no mistake, debates like these matter.

They help us define property rights, personal autonomy, and our relative value in the community.

But, isn’t the least intervention from the front seat the best? And, shouldn’t we remember that we are all in this journey together? Who wins if our inability to be civil causes us to turn the car around and go home?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K Spend 80 percent of your time focusing on the opportunities of tomorrow rather than the problems of yesterday.

-Eleanor Roosevelt

I really hate texting. Besides blowing up your data, communicating via text is the most likely way to end up in a snit with someone.

There’s no time or space for long-winded explanations, and certainly no way other than emojis to indicate tone of voice. Mistype or misspell? You can end up with two distinctly different meanings. To wit: “Let’s eat, Grandma!” versus “Let’s eat grandma!”

I saw this played out firsthand last week when my four sisters and I were scrambling to come up with our summer availability for Family Feud. That’s right! Steve Harvey called!

Well not Steve Harvey himself, but one of his minions. Apparently our embarrassing audition in front of hundreds of other Feud hopefuls was a success, no doubt in thanks to one of my sisters’ remarkable execution of the Worm.

Unfortunately, and I suppose ironically, trying to coordinate our calendars ended in a minor family feud of our own.

The controversial incident started with the fact that we live in five different cities. Synchronizing a three-day stretch between May and August when we can all ditch our jobs, husbands and kids to travel to Georgia is like trying to juggle lit torches, buzzing chainsaws and poopy diapers: It can be done, but only by using extreme caution.

A fourth of the dates Feud offered us are while school is in session, not the most convenient for me, the teacher, but perfect for my middle sister, the stay-at-home mom. Our annual family reunion week in July was a no for all of us, and my youngest sister couldn’t do June because she’s just come off a threemonth maternity leave. That left only a few stretches where we could all conceivably get away from work and motherhood.

Slowly but surely the texts changed from “I can make these dates but not these” to “Some of us have to work for a living!” and “Why aren’t you making FF a priority?” When I saw “If you can find the time between carpooling and traveling to Europe, give me a call,” I knew two of my sisters were getting nasty. Thank God they recognized the need for clarification through a phone call before they threw down with frown-y faces.

Sure enough, they were reading into the messages way more than what was intended.

This is Family Feud, ladies, not Family Rude!

We’re supposed to fight against the other family, not ourselves. And let’s also remember that even if the Top One Hundred People Surveyed say texting is the best method for communicating efficiently, we should all recognize that lengthy and/or potentially emotional discussions should be addressed by phone. Right Grandma? Peace out.

A postcard of Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre in the 1950s at its 19th and Alabama streets location.

Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre celebrates 100 years

By Alec Johnson • news@currentinwestfield.com A Carmel theater will soon be wrapping up its 100th season in style.

Starting this month, the Booth Tarkanniversary ington Civic Theatre will host a series of events to commemorate the actors, actresses, and productions that have kept it going since its beginning in 1915. The theater’s Director of Development Catherine Dixon is excited about being a part of the organization and its efforts.

“I’m super honored to be a part of this organization, and the fact that I’m able to work in the performing arts and serve the community is the most amazing thing to me,” Dixon said.

The first event will be the “100 Years of Civic Theatre Exhibit,” to be held April 16 in the Tarkington Theater lobby. It archives the last 100 years, and is divided into three sections: imagination, education and participation. Alyssa Boge, a museum studies student at IUPUI, archived and catalogued the exhibit, and James Sholly, who owns Commercial Artisan, designed it. The exhibit will remain in the Tarkington lobby through the fall, and a VIP event will be held for longstanding supporters and participants to open the exhibit’s viewing.

“They will be the first people to see this exhibit, so it’s been an interesting process locating these folks trying to make sure they’re available for this,” Dixon said.

The next event will be “Backstage Exclusive: Spamalot Editon”, also at the Tarkington Theater on April 18 from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $35 per person. The community will get a behind-the-scenes tour of the Tarkington prior to opening night of “Monty Python’s SPAMALOT.” It’s based off a children’s program called “Backstage Pass.”

The adults can see the entire set, including the sound booth, dressing rooms and prop department. The “Backstage Exclusive” involves a scavenger hunt and beer available throughout the building, sponsored by Monarch Beverages.

Dixon believes that the Tarkington is a community resource, and is excited about sharing the theater.

“This is our way that they get to see the behind the scenes stuff, which being in the industry you tend to take it for granted, because if I need to go to the dressing room, I just go up on stage and go back there; but for a lot of people, this is a very interesting opportunity, and we want to make sure people are able to do that,” Dixon said.

Following the Backstage Exclusive is the Mad Hatter and Twisted Tea Parties on June 13. The Mad Hatter will include two performances of Jr. Civic’s “Alice in Wonderland, Jr.”In between those performances, children will be able to enjoy a meet and greet with show characters, get their faces painted and enjoy refreshments.

The event runs from 3 to 4:30 p.m., with tickets costing $10 per child. Following the children’s tea party will be the Twisted Tea Party, which is an adult event. It celebrates and supports Civic’s education and outreach programs with special alumni performances, awards, music, a cash bar and refreshments. Tickets are $45 per person, and the event runs from 7 to 10 p.m.

The last event will be the Centennial Gala on June 20 at 6 p.m., a black-tie event celebrating the theater’s 100th birthday. Tickets are $250 each. It will take place at the historic home where Booth Tarkington once lived.

Booth Tarkington Civic Theater Executive Director John Hedges said that the gala is a celebration “a century in the making.”

“If you can’t have a big party when you turn 100, when can you have a big party?” Hedges said. “So we hope to really have a big celebraHedges tion on June 20. We’ve already gotten a proclamation from the mayor of Carmel. We look forward to having some sort of proclamation from the governor of the state, and just to have it be a big celebration.”

Hedges wants people to know that the Civic Theatre is more than just a place that puts on plays and performances. He says the theatre’s role “is to be a catalyst for a more tolerant, empathetic, imaginative and enlightened society.”

“Through seeing life from someone else’s point of view and figuratively ‘walking in their shoes’, there can emerge a greater sense of empathy and understanding for others—and for ourselves. It is through this work of ‘holding the mirror up to nature’ that we as theatre artists make an essential contribution to our society,” said Hedges.

Spice it up: Blends for every pantry Commentary by Emily Holder All throughout the world spices and spice blends tell a story. They tell a story about the history and cultural backdiversion ground of that region. I’m going to explain three of my favorite spice blends and how easy, and inexpensive it is to make them and have them on hand when you want to spice something up.

Garam masala translates literally from garam meaning “hot” and masala is a blend of ground spices. Garam masala is common in North Indian and other South Asian cuisine.

Although the components of this blend differs regionally with many recipes across India they stay congruent for the most part. The spices are all toasted, which is very important because it allows the oils in the spices to become aromatic, which is an important component in cooking. To make 3/4 cup of garam masala to have on hand: 1 inch piece of cinnamon stick – broken into pieces, 2 bay leaves, 1/4 cup cumin seeds, 1/3 cup coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon green cardamom pods, 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, 2 tablespoons

whole cloves, 1 dried red chile, 1/4 tablespoon ground mace Chinese 5 spice Chinese 5 spice is a spice mixture of five spices, used primarily in Chinese cuisine but also used in Asian and Arabic cookery. It may be used with fatty meats such as pork or duck.

I personally like to use it as a spice rub when I am cooking chicken, duck, pork and seafood. It is great to have on hand when wanting to add something to something like chicken breasts or pork chops. In Hawaii, some restaurants even place a shaker of the spice on earth patrons table.

The recipe is as follows: equal parts; ground cinnamon, star anise, cloves, fennel seeds and Szechuan peppercorns.

Loretta Lynn visits The Palladium

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com For more than 50 years, country music star Loretta Lynn has been spreading her gift of song across America. Now for the diversion first time, Hamilton County resident will get to experience her voice in person at The Center for the Performing Arts.

Coming to town April 24, Loretta Lynn will be making her first ever appearance at the Palladium.

After finding out Lynn was planning to do a series of events in the Midwest, the CFPA quickly reached out to her.

“Last December we learned that Loretta Lynn had a handful of Midwest dates available for performances so we wasted no time in contacting her management and extending an invitation,” CFPA CEO Tania Castroverde-Moskalenko said. “To have such a legendary and iconic artist on the Palladium stage is an honor for us, so obviously we were ecstatic when the date was confirmed.”

With Lynn being one of the most iconic country music singers of all time, Moskalenko is sure that her performance will be one to remember.

“For 50 years now, Loretta has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful—and as culturally significant—as any female performer you’d care to name.,” Moskalenko said. “‘The Coal Miner’s Daughter’ has

While Lynn is the main event of the evening, guests will also get to experience a native Indiana band at the show as well.

“There will be an opening act, Walker County Band, a family band from Sulphur Springs,” Moskalenko said. “At lead vocals, Ivy Dene Walker, 19-years-old, is a power-house with outstanding [vocal] range and little sis, Sophie Dawn Walker, plays the drums and harmonizes beautifully.

Walker County brings soulfulness with an underlying tone of southern rock and traditional country.”

Moskalenko believes the event to be a soldout show, so be sure to order your tickets early.

What to expect in pregnancy Commentary by James Smith, MD Women experiencing first pregnancies often wonder if the body changes and symptoms they feel are normal. While every women woman is different—and every pregnancy is different—there are some common symptoms of pregnancy that many women share.

Fatigue – Even early in the first trimester, pregnant women may feel tired. Like many pregnancy symptoms, fatigue is often caused by higher levels of pregnancy hormones. Women experiencing fatigue should get plenty of rest and eat foods rich in protein and iron.

Nausea – Nausea is a well-known side effect of pregnancy, but not every woman experiences it. And while it’s often referred to as “morning sickness,” nausea in pregnant women can happen at any time of day.

Food cravings or aversions – Women often crave or are turned off by certain foods when they are pregnant. These cravings and aversions are caused by hormonal changes and can last for the entire pregnancy. Women who are expecting should eat a nutritious and balanced diet.

Back pain – Many women experience back pain during pregnancy as the increasing size and weight of the uterus puts more strain on the back. To alleviate pain, avoid standing or sitting

for long periods and try not to arch the back too much when standing.

Difficulty sleeping – Hormonal changes, as well as discomfort later in pregnancy can cause many women to have trouble sleeping. Daily exercise can help. It’s also important to maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid caffeine and long naps during the day.

Breast tenderness – Breast changes, including tenderness, are common in pregnancy. Tenderness usually subsides after the first trimester, but breast changes are present throughout pregnancy. Veins may become more visible, and stretch marks may appear.

Vaginal discharge – Some women may experience changes in vaginal discharge. Thin, milkywhite discharge is normal during pregnancy.

Remember that pregnancy causes significant changes in the body, and it’s not uncommon to experience a wide range of symptoms or side effects during this time. Talk with your doctor or obstetrician about any pregnancy symptoms during regular prenatal visits.

Mushrooms contain B vitamins, zinc, potassium, copper, selenium, iron and magnesium. It’s important to eat organically grown mushrooms, however, as they absorb whatever substance they are grown in. Red onions are another high antioxidant veggie as they can kill free radicals and reduce inflammation.

Not-so-little grammar question Commentary by Jordan Fischer QUESTION: “My sister and I are working on hand-stitching Laura Ingalls Wilder quilts. We are also both reading all the grammar guy Little House on the Prairie books to get into the whole pioneer frame of mind.

I was surprised to come across the word ‘boughten,’ which Laura uses to describe anything that is store-bought. I looked it up and it is actually a word!

Dictionary.com states that it is a Northern and North Midland U.S. nonstandard word.

I am from Illinois and we never used that word. It’s always been “store-bought” when describing items that were not hand-made.

Do people still use this word today or is it now out of fashion. Or was it a perfectly acceptable word to use at the time of publishing? (Or now, too, for that matter)? It just sounds so weird and incorrect.” – (Becky Kelly) ANSWER: This is a really interesting question, Becky, and I love the “Little House on the Prairie” books, so I’m excited to have received it.

The earliest recorded use of “boughten” I could find was 1738. Several sources identify it as a Midwestern word – and it does have that sort of feel to it – but I suspect a better description would be a “homesteader” word.

While the “Little House” books first began publishing in the early 1930s, the first few books

were set during Laura Ingalls Wilder’s childhood in the 1860s in what was essentially the undeveloped wilderness of Wisconsin and Kansas (and later Minnesota). Wisconsin had only been a state at that point for about 20 years (it was entered into the Union in 1848), and Kansas’ statehood was in its infancy (it was admitted into the Union in 1861).

All of that is to say that the books take place in parts of the country were language often took an older and more stratified form. Homesteaders often lived far away from one another, keeping contact and exchange of language to a minimum.

Access to formal education wasn’t assured, nor was it necessarily a priority. And finally, many of the homesteaders themselves were from an earlier era: Laura’s father Charles Ingalls was born in 1836, and her paternal grandparents (both of whom appear in at least the first book), were born in 1810 and 1812.

What it boils down to is that, no, people were probably not saying “boughten” very often by the 1930s when the books were published, but Laura very likely did hear it often growing up on the prairie.

Volubilis: Morocco’s Roman City Commentary by Don Knebel

The Roman ruins of Volubilis include a triumphal arch, magnificent mosaics and colonnaded temples. Surprisingly, the ruins are travel in the heart of Morocco and their extensive restoration by the French may have been a political statement.

Volubilis lies in a fertile plain at the foot of Mount Zerhoun, 18 miles north of Meknes. Volubilis was founded in the third century B.C. by the Phoenicians, sea-going traders from what is now Lebanon, and became capital of Mauretania.

After the Roman Empire annexed Mauretania in 44 A.D., Volubilis became wealthy exporting grain, olive oil and exotic animals for gladiator battles, eventually reaching a population of about 20,000.

An aqueduct supplied water for public baths and sewers transported waste to the river. A large basilica housed administrative offices and temples honored a number of important Roman gods. A ceremonial arch built in the third century paid homage to Emperor Caracalla, famous for his brutality and for granting Roman citizenship to freemen throughout the provinces.

In about 285, an over-stretched Roman Empire abandoned Volubilis and the city became Christian, its basilica converted to a church. In the late Eighth Century, after the area had come

under Islamic control, Moulay Idriss, founder of the Kingdom of Morocco, selected Volubilis as his first capital. When his son moved the capital to nearby Fes, Volubilis began a slow decline, disappearing from history by the eleventh century.

The French gained control of Morocco in 1912 and undertook extensive excavations at Volubilis, using thousands of German soldiers captured during World War I. Stripping away and discarding remains of Islamic structures, French archaeologists uncovered grand Roman villas, some with dozens of rooms and many containing well-preserved mosaic floors illustrating mythological and outdoor scenes. Workers completely rebuilt the triumphal arch and partially restored the basilica.

Some suspect French colonialists restored Volubilis as an archetypical Roman city to lay claim to a long history of Latin influence in northern Africa and others doubt the authenticity of the extensive reconstructions. Properly restored or not, Volubilis was featured in the final scenes of the 1988 film, “The Last Temptation of Christ,” and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The big three things to consider Commentary by Randy Sorrell

The growing thirst for modern outdoor living spaces has fueled stylish visions of patios, decks, fire features, grill staOUTdoors tions, lanais with outdoor TV sets … and the imagination of luxuries continues to blossom!

The reality of employing multiple amenities in your backyard can be daunting from a design and a financial perspective. Which commonly results in three critical discussion topics … budget, master design and phasing. Let these measured components serve as the vision and boundaries of implementing your incredible outdoor living space.

BUDGET The budget conversation has grown from uncomfortable to now being expected. Often, a few minutes of offering rough costs for the dreamy ideas can help place the correct financial perspective or stimulate creative solutions that still provides some sort of enjoyable space. Return On Investment quickly follows. Some are very concerned while others are more carpe diem.

What about you?

MASTER DESIGN Think of this as your retirement plan, bucket

list or career path. It functions as your blueprint for success and is closely aligned with the budget. It allows for DIY involvement and/or professionally installed. Likely there are a few “reach” items that could happen if a financial blessing occurs or your Lilly stock doubles and splits again.

Make certain the design is to scale, calls out materials, offers some flexibility and fits your needs.

PHASING “Can we phase this in over a period of seasons?” Of course you can! Most projects have the capacity of phasing, if properly planned.

Generally, starting with hard surfaces (patio, deck, porch, fire feature) followed by landscaping and concluding with optional ideas (grill station, pergola, shade sail, sitting walls) flows best.

Each project/budget/design will strongly encourage the sequence and simultaneously leave you thirsting for the next phase.

Bring on the barbeque!
