Flooding on East Main Street in downtown Westfield. (Submitted photo)

Volunteers assist in the cleanup effort to remove remaining water from Open Doors Pantry, 110 W. Jersey St., on April 4. (Submitted photos)

Community comes together to help Open Doors Pantry after flood

By Lauren Olsen • lauren@currentinwestfield.com

Open Doors Pantry, 110 W. Jersey St., Westfield, was flash-flooded on April 3. The floodwaters main source was a nearby creek. Alice disaster Trentman, who helps run the pantry with her husband, Joe, said this is not the first time they have experienced a flood. The Trentmans and two other volunteers were putting up sandbags and preparing to leave the building when the flood hit.

“I looked out the window of the pantry and saw a wall of water coming at me, by the time I screamed and Joe looked up, it was rolling toward us,” Trentman said.

The amount of water that came into the building forced Trentman to call the Westfield Fire Dept. to rescue them from the flooding.

“You could feel the current pulling on your leg, we couldn’t have gotten out by ourselves,” she said.

Overall, Open Doors Pantry saw three feet of floodwaters, which resulted in damage to eight out of 12 freezers,

furniture, some canned goods, clothing and files.

The good news is the City of Westfield was there to help Open Doors Pantry pick up the pieces. The morning after the flood, the fire department, Boy Scouts and the Westfield Rotary Club, among other volunteers, pitched in to clean out the damaged items. Another large group came by on April 5 for additional help.

“We are blessed to have the places that help us,” Trentman said.

Trentman said most of the cleanup was completed at this point and now their priority is to re-build.

They have salvaged and cleaned what they could and are building new shelving to hold donations.

“We are trying to open the Thursday before Easter (April 20),” Trentman said Open Doors has a post office drive on May 10 and is hoping that will help to re-stock the shelves. In addition, Northview Church is helping to replace can goods that were lost.

Monetary donations are accepted at Open Doors, P.O. Box 196, Westfield, 46074.

The total amount lost was not know at press time.

High water – The City of Westfield experienced a flash flood event April 3 as three inches of rain in an hour caused creeks in multiple locations to overflow their banks. Westfield experienced six water rescue-related runs in one hour. Fire Chief Joe Lyons said four people had to be rescued from the Open Doors Food Pantry and another had to be rescued from a business on East Main Street. There were several other rescues throughout the city from drivers trying to navigate the high water. Two businesses’ employees near Cool Creek Park were unable to leave, due to the high water coming across the street, until the water receded.

Alternative energy to save money

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County is discussing various ways to implement new energy alternatives to become more efficient, thus saving Government taxpayers money.

Steve Wood, Hamilton County buildings and grounds supervisor, said the plan is to begin mixing into the county’s transportation fleet 30 compressed natural gas vehicles.

“We’ll start off slow. We’ve reduced the amount of vehicles,” Wood, a Noblesville Wood resident, said.

Wood said the vehicles are basic pickup trucks and cars and run on regular gasoline and natural gas. For a dozen vehicles, Wood said the savings could be $30,000 to $45,000 a year in fuel savings as the county pays approximately $3.55 per gallon for gasoline.

“The worst case scenario is 80 cents per gallon for natural gas. We anticipate 73 cents per gallon,” Wood said.

To implement the new vehicles, the county will have to build a new fueling station, which Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said may have countywide effects of additional savings.

“It gives local schools the chance to demo (compressed natural gas vehicles) and have a

place to fill up,” he said.

Solar panels In the discussion phase is a solar panel project similar to the one at the Indianapolis International Airport.

The original idea was a $13 million investment to install the panels on the top of the courthouse, jail, 4-H Fairgrounds and other county buildings.

Heirbrandt, a Westfield resident, said that project had a projected $33 million energy cost savings across 25 years.

“We’ve significantly scaled down,” he said. “The (Hamilton Heirbrandt County) council is involved and will provide input on what they think we should go with for this project … We’re at the right size for the biggest bang for the buck.”

The new proposal is to utilize the vacant space around one of the county’s new 911 towers adjacent to Ind. 37.

“One major field will save a lot of money but gives us a test plot to work off of,” Heirbrandt said. “There’s nothing (else) we can do with the land because of the tower.”

Heirbrandt said the estimated cost is $4.5 million with an anticipated net savings of $7.5 million after debt repayment, operating and maintenance costs, and insurance costs.

“The simple payback is 10 years,” he said.

Advisory Plan Commission Development: Dairy Queen, 940 Tournament Trail What it means: Dairy Queen was displaced as part of the U.S. 31 construction. The 0.94-acre restaurant will be behind the proposed McDonald’s on Ind. 32 and entrances off of Wheeler Road and Tournament Trail. The 3,450-square-foot building will include a 1,295-square-foot pergola and a 950-square–foot patio area to provide outdoor seating.

Dairy Queen representatives described the proposed location as “the premiere Dairy Queen in the Midwest.” The primary building materials will be varied texture and include brick and cultured stone. “I do not see this building as foresight. It’s very uninteresting, not what we want on that corner,” Westfield resident Mic Mead said.

What’s next?

The plan will return to the commission on April 21, when it will be up for approval.

SPARE A PIG.

3 Democrats seek seat in Congress

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Two years ago, U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks took over the seat of longtime Republican congressman Dan Burton, who had served 30 years in that office. This year, three government Democratic candidates are vying for a chance to try and flip the seat across the political aisle.

Brooks, who represents Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, defeated Scott Reske with 58 percent of the vote in 2012. If she wins her Republican primary, she will face one of three Democratic opponents, which includes an engineer, an educator and a veteran. The primary date is May 6. None of the Democratic applicants have previously held elected office.

Allen Ray Davidson Throughout his career as an engineer, Allen Ray Davidson said he’s made it his mission to reduce waste and increase efficiency in government.

The 45-year-old Fishers resident said he has the technical skills necessary to fix the problems in government.

He points to his experience as a pavement design engineer Davidson for the Indiana Department of Transportation.

“I have served the state of Indiana well in my career, to the benefit of all Hoosiers,” Davidson said. “However, I feel that my skills can be better utilized in Washington D.C., for the benefit of all Americans.”

Davidson said he’s also familiar with environmental law due to his work with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Davidson has a daughter, 9-year-old Tanisha, and a son, 4-year-old Ruhan. He has a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from Texas Tech University.

Shawn Denney Some politicians talk about the tough economy, but Shawn Denney said he’s seen it firsthand.

The 41-year-old Lawrence Township resident said he had a stable, well-paying job in the insurance and investments industry, but, “in the blink

of an eye I found myself on the unemployment line.”

“Like me, many people have to find other job opportunities, learn new trades and develop second careers,” he said. “I want to be that voice in Washington that speaks up and advocates for America’s middle and working class.”

That year, Denney took on a Denney new role as educator, teaching young minds about U.S. and world history. He said that gives him insight into what’s good and bad about the state’s education system, one of his top focuses if he is elected.

Denney has three children, Perrin, 15, Charles Kalvin, seven, and Liam, 18 months. He is engaged to Amber Stearns. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Indianapolis.

David Ford The youngest of the three potential candidates, David Ford doesn’t turn 30 until the day before the general election. But Ford said that doesn’t mean he’s inexperienced.

He has served eight years in the U.S. Air Force, including stays at Fort Carson in Colorado and Osan Air Base in South Korea. Since he was honorably discharged in September 2013, he said he’s been focused on his political career.

Ford said he’s concerned about the lawmakers representing Indiana. He notes that the number of members of Congress who have served in the armed forces is at an alltime low. He believes elected officials should see their job as a selfless duty, not a perk.

“Washington politicians are out of touch. They are so busy high-fiving each other and patting each other on the Ford back that they have forgotten that they serve at the pleasure of the people,” he said. “Too often, they return to their districts only to fundraise so they can go back to Washington. They believe that the people serve the establishment.”

Ford lives in Westfield with his wife, Marcella, and their 6-month-old son Ethan.

3 Republicans bid for Congress

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com When U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks took over the seat of longtime Republican congressman Dan Burton, who had served 30 years in that office, she had to stand out in a government crowded field. Brooks, who represents Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, defeated Scott Reske with 58 percent of the vote in 2012.

This year, she appears to have a challenge from an upstart candidate who enjoys Tea Party support and another who lives outside the district.

The 5th District contains the northern portion of Marion County and all of Indianapolis’ northern suburbs, and it stretches as far north as Marion.

THE INCUMBENT Susan Brooks – Brooks said she is most proud of helping constituents resolve 76 percent of the issues they have brought to her office and the passage of the SKILLS Act in Congress in March 2013. The bill would help to alleviate the current skills gap in the workforce by modernizing federal job-training programs and Brooks removing roadblocks that prevent job-seekers from receiving the in-demand training needed for many modern careers.

Brooks said her main goals over the next year are to pass legislation that repeals and replaces Obamacare with patient-centered reforms, and pass legislation that creates an environment for economic growth, business investment and job creation.

She said those are in line with Republican goals to cut wasteful government spending, pay down the national debt, simplify the tax code, secure the border, confront terrorist threats and restore the balance of power created by the nation’s founders by assuring the executive branch respects and abides by the laws Congress passes.

But she said she sees this primary as a chance for voters to choose who will best take on Obamacare and improve job prospects and job security in Indiana.

THE CHALLENGERS David Stockdale – David Stockdale said he decided to run for Congress because young folks like him, Tea Party folks and Libertarian-leaning Republicans, have become frustrated with the old guard in the party.

Stockdale said he would represent the Constitution and his constituents – not just the party. He said the nation is at a turning point because many people see no difference between Republicans and Democrats.

Stockdale The three central issues he sees being at stake in this primary are selecting a candidate who represents constituents and the Constitution, someone who will work for smaller government and less spending and someone who will work to uphold the Bill of Rights and not allow the NSA to continue infringing on citizens’ rights.

With regard to the economy, he said he would support the Fair Tax as a means of tax reform, and that there’s a need for entitlement reform, regulatory reform and transferring authority back to the states.

Stockdale said he would ask voters to realize that even though he hasn’t held elected office, he meets the Constitutional requirements to run for Congress.

He said he thinks that the best candidates often are the ones who have successfully run their own business and that this election will provide a chance to stop the growth of government.

Mike Campbell – Current in Carmel made numerous attempts to solicit answers from Campbell, but received none by press time.

Campbell does not reside within the boundaries of the 5th District and maintains a home in Cambridge City, in the eastern portion of central Indiana. Curent is not aware of a campaign website, campaign manager or even a fundraiser for the candidate.

Questions for Campbell can be directed to campbellforcongress2014@hotmail.com.

Complex to complement Westfield

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Greenwood has announced plans for a $22 million amateur sports complex, featuring an 85,000-square-foot facility grand park to host prep sports tournaments, and it includes a hotel and a massive fitness center for the public.

The GoodSports Enterprises development is expected to open next year, according to reports.

The complex will be built on the former proposed site for a Cabela’s store, which announced plans to build its store in Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville in March.

Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said the amateur sports complex announcement reinforces the

idea of how important the industry of youth sports is in the state.

“I think it is wonderful as we develop Indianapolis regionally as a sports Mecca. I think it’s great. I compliment them,” he said.

Cook said Greenwood’s plans will not compete with Grand Park.

“It’s a different market – an indoor facility for basketball and volleyball,” he said. “We’ll enhance each other.”

While this project is not competition, Cook said it won’t be long before Westfield sees similar projects as Grand Park.

“We’ll see others doing what we are doing,” he said. “We have to get better every day so we can be the best.”

Honoring her father After 35 years as a registered nurse, Betsy Rabold opens a natural health food store downtown

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For 35 years, Betsy Rabold worked as a registered nurse working in cardiology. Now certified as a natural health profescover story sional, Rabold combines her extensive medical knowledge and offers consultations at her new business. My Father’s Garden, an all-natural health and wellness shop at 106 N. Union St. “I may use a nursing judgment but I won’t diagnosis anybody,” she said. “I enjoy helping people; that’s why I got into nursing in the first place. This is just another way I can help people.

This is my passion.”

Her father’s impact “I took the name from both of my fathers,” she said.

When Rabold decided she wanted to open her store, she wanted to honor her heavenly father (since the organic items come from God’s garden) and her parental father, Charles Benson.

“My father was a very spiritual, God-fearing man,” she said. “And was quite the outdoorsman.

He used to concoct all these different remedies for us. Part of it was that we were pretty poor and that it was the way he knew to do things.”

Rabold said Benson, who died in 2003 at age 80, used the plants and roots around him to treat common ailments and to enhance a good, long healthy life.

“I inherited his love for these things. My goal is to help you have a healthier life. I want to show others how to use the abundance from God and my father’s knowledge to be healthy,” she said.

“He was digging ginseng root when he had a cardiac attack. He always did the kind of things he

loved,” she said.

One of her favorite recipes was sassafras tea.

Whenever Rabold or her siblings had the flu, Benson would give them sweet onions.

“He would cook onions and add sugar to make a syrup. I didn’t find out until later that onions are a wonderful antioxidant and are good for chest colds,” she said.

Charles Benson Making the change Twelve years ago, Rabold was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“When you’re faced with your own mortality you do what you think you should do,” she said, adding chemotherapy and surgery were her decision to combat the disease. “I was off work so I got a certification as a natural health consultant.

It started off as something that interested me.”

Rabold said her medical training assisted with her rehabilitation.

“The chemo helped me survive but the affects were pretty bad. I was able to make myself better. I had trouble with my kidneys and liver and was able to get them normalized, by using a

lot of antioxidents and supplements.” she said.

“That’s when my process really ignited and I’ve been on the journey ever since.”

The store has been a long time coming for Rabold.

“I first had this idea at least 10 years ago, and it’s exciting,” she said. “I have the same feelings as when I first started nursing. I want to get to know people.”

Rabold recently retired due to changes in healthcare.

“There were lots of things happening in hospitals the past year due to the changes in healthcare and I was at a point in my life where I asked myself, do I want to do this for 20 more years, 15 or 10? I didn’t,” she said. Coincidentally, I went to a business-building class one weekend.

I went to this class and knew this is what I was supposed to do.”

Nine months after the class, Rabold opened My Father’s Garden, which assists with ailments, working toward wellness and prevention.

“Many of the medicines folks take on a day-today basis started out as plants,” she said.

The store “We have lots of different things – from runof-the-mill vitamins and supplements to a pretty large homeopathic section that treats different ailments, liquid supplements and herbs, aromatherapy and the standard natural healthy vitamins,” she said.

My Father’s Garden also offers food products like teas and coffee and organic personal-care items.

“Non (genetically modified organism) is pretty important to folks nowadays – to get products not to just eat, but to use on their bodies that are as pure as possible,” she said. “People are taking more personal responsibility for their health. It costs you a lot less in the long run.”

My Father’s Garden is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday. The store is closed Sunday. For more information, call 399-7999 or visit www.myfathersgarden4health.com.

My Father’s Garden owner Betsy Rabold shares a few vitamins and homeopathic treatments for common ailments: Local raw honey “You’re getting the same pollens, it inoculates you.”

Rabold said there is also a homeopathic spray by KingBio that is region specific.

A syrup of sweet onions and sugar.

Oils that relieve tension such as mint, lavender or peppermint. “Things that relax you.”

Oregano oil.

“I put it in a gel capsule.”

Arnica or black cherry juice without sugar. “It’s been shown to help take out lactic acid after you exercise.

It’s great for post workout.”

Items with hibiscus, such as tea, or real sea salt (not the white stuff).

Regular caffeinated tea bags. “The tannins in the tea help heal the burns.”

Aloe. “It’s good for digestion and I use aloe juice as a cleanser.”

Family: Children – Justin, a firefighter in Clinton, Rachel, a student at the Art Institute and member of the National Guard, and Hannah, a senior at Ball State University; and two granddaughters.

Hobbies: Enjoys being with her family and going to church. Rabold attends St. Maria Goretti in Westfield and Holy Rosary in Indianapolis (because she enjoys the Latin Mass) “I took two years of Latin in high school because you had to know Latin to be a nurse,” she said.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” – Philippians 4:13

FROM THE EDITOR

Hypocrisy in the springtime

Egg-cellent examples

As you may know, President Barack Obama is once again leading from behind and is reaching for the same tired arguments of the past in hopes of Democrats gaining ground in the upcoming midterm elections. His latest dime-store strategy: The pay gap between men and women. Well, according to an Associated Press story, an analysis conducted by the conservative American Enterprise Institute, found Obama’s female aides were paid 88 cents for every dollar paid to men, about $65,000 to $73,729 annually.

But here’s the really wonderful display of hypocrisy: White House Press Secretary Jay Carney argued the comparison is based on aggregate wages that include the lowest salaries at the White House, adding, “which may or may not be - depending on the institution - filled by more women than men.” OK, so let’s get this straight: It’s fine for government to use this excuse, but in the private sector, something untoward is taking place. Ah, yes, there is nothing quite like liberal hypocrisy in the springtime.

Prognostication

Commentary by Terry Anker

As much as we humans are the same (our tolerance for climate, days without water and isolation from each other fall into fairly narrow bands), we take a near excessive pride in our distinctions. Amused by this reality, one might suggest to the latest brand of hipster that the excessive goal of uniqueness only ensures that one is different in exactly the same way as all others who seek distinction in entirely the same way! We cannot entirely escape the subtle cues that expose our history and predict our potentials regardless of one’s facial hair or body art.

Communities, too, find little safe-harbor from these indications. Each, in its own way, betrays the secrets of its past, tells the story of its present and unwittingly forecasts a projection of its future. Athens recalls a storied history with grand edifices perched at the Acropolis but its present-day empty store fronts and careless graffiti speak to its contemporary challenges to keep up with northern Europe. Present day London is bustling with commerce. The streets are

filled in the early morning with citizens navigating the many construction sites converting notable buildings into more modern configurations.

One is immersed in wealth. Bentley’s wiz by transporting harried fund-managers to the first stop on the daily schedule. But even here, does the empire wane? Russian oligarchs are displacing the local aristocracy with brute force and sheer wealth. For either of these two examples, will the future carry decline or renaissance? And, what indicators can help them to influence that trajectory.

In our own cities and towns, we can find the same watermarks. Are we brick streets, or performance halls, or sports fields, or town squares, or lakes, or green pastures? Are we robust or sickly? Most importantly, are we paying attention? Time alone will tell.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK There is nothing more dangerous than the moment you become a hostage to yesterday’s comfort zone.

- Rob Thompson

It’s egg hunting time again! And that means finding the baskets stuffed somewhere in the back of a closet, grabbing the camera, heading to the local park and praying you find a parking spot that’s in eyesight of the fields of eggs.

As a journalist, egg hunts are a doubleedged sword. As great as the photographs are from the event, it’s very stressful. Depending on the venue, you have two to three minutes to snap as many quality pictures as you can.

Then you get to play a fun game of “Where’s Waldo” to find parents of the children you took photos of to get names – most heading straight to their vehicles.

I think what the city, churches and other organizations do to host the free events is admirable. We’re lucky to live in a place where you get to pick and choose which egg hunts to attend since so many coincide.

Last year was my first time attending egg hunts as a parent and my observations from a community event rubbed me the wrong way.

My daughter was in the 0-2 age group and parents were carrying their kids to the highest concentration of eggs and actually throwing them into their baskets. As if that wasn’t enough, I saw other kids being dragging by a guardian to the next plastic container and move on as their tiny legs were still trying to get traction with the ground. It made me want to give them a buck and say, “Stop at a store, buy some candy and please stay home next year.” What made me shake my head most was the fact that these kids weren’t even old enough to eat the piece of candy inside the egg.

By the way, my daughter had a blast collecting her three eggs last year and I know she will again this year. I’m just hoping the prospect of free sugar doesn’t cause adults to act the age of their children.

A vacation from motherhood Commentary by Danielle Wilson I think everyone would agree that this past winter was a tough one. Long, cold, and way too many school cancellations and humor delays. As a teacher, I desperately needed this Spring Break just to catch a breather. The stress of planning makeup lessons and quickening the pace had left me overwhelmed and frazzled. Unfortunately, my kids are in a different school system, and the calendars did not coincide this year. Not wanting to be stuck here though, Doo finagled a way for him and our kids to get to Florida through a one-way flight out of Kentucky, a rental mini-van in Tampa, and a long drive home up constructionridden I-65. I would remain here, since I’d be back to work by then.

Actually, I was looking forward to both weeks.

The first would give me seven hours each day to myself while my minions were at school. And I’d finally get to catch up on all those put-off house projects. I even scheduled a few fun things, like getting a spray-tan (No UVA rays for this ginger, but I still like to look alive), and going for my annual pap smear (nothing says vacation like “speculum!”). What I didn’t count on was the fact that the kids weren’t on break yet. So there was still dance, track, violin, tumbling, soccer, band, and orthodontics appointments to coordinate. I still had to get up at six every morning and organize lunches and pets. I still had to prep dinner and

help with homework. Restful? Relaxing? Not as much as I’d anticipated. Is it any wonder I was thoroughly disheartened and a tad bitter when I tromped back into school the following Monday, knowing my husband was sipping Mai Tais on a warm beach?

Unexpectedly though, I actually enjoyed getting back to my students and daily routine. Turns out, teaching hadn’t been bogging me down as much as the demands of parenting had been.

So that second week was heaven! Sure, I had to work, but when I came home, I had nothing to do. The house was still clean; I had no carpooling duties nor schedules to coordinate; I didn’t have to ground a teenager or even create a last minute life-size drawing of Eli Lilly for Famous Hoosier Day. I ate cereal for dinner, watched the entire second season of Downtown Abbey, and was able to turn off all the lights at 9 o’clock.

No guilt, no marital friction, no kid drama. It was honestly a fantastic pseudo-Spring Break!

What’s the moral of my tale? Sand and surf aren’t the only ways to recuperate from a nasty winter. A vacation from motherhood can work just as well.

Peace out.

‘I Love A Piano’ a tribute to Irving Berlin’s genius

By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com

In the spirit of preserving the Great American Songbook, The Actors Theatre of Indiana is closing out its 2013-14 season with a salute to one of America’s most beloved lyricists and songwriters. theatre “I Love A Piano” will showcase writer Irving Berlin’s music and life when it comes to the Studio Theatre stage April 25 in the Center for the Performing Arts.

“I Love a Piano” is an all-singing, alldancing revue that includes more than 60 of Berlin’s

classic songs, such as “Blue Skies,” “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “Anything You Can Do,” “God Bless America,” and, the show’s namesake, “I Love a Piano,” interspersed with tidbits of information about Berlin’s life.

Berlin’s history as a Jewish immigrant from Russia along with his innate hopeful romanticism will set the scene for simple stories about everyday American life set to beautiful melodies that have become a soundtrack of the 20th century.

Berlin’s accomplishments are truly amazing considering he never studied music, let alone maintained the ability to read or write it. His career started out of necessity after the death of his father, so he became a singing waiter who composed his own music as it garnered bigger tips.

“Some people who praise his work say that he Shepard was such a genius because of the simplicity of the language,” said Kenny Shepard, co-director and co-choreographer of ATI’s production. “It was just bare bones. These are the words, these are the simple melodies, and the marriage of the two touch your heart.”

Both Indianapolis natives, Shepard and Carol Worcel, his business partner and Worcel co-director and co-choreographer, specialize in musical storytelling and use their many years of national touring experience. They plan to use their talents to exquisitely tell the story of Berlin’s music through song and dance complete with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers ballroom elegance, 1940’s dance hall swing and a showstopping tap extravaganza.

The show also includes a Falling in Love section featuring Berlin’s famous love songs, a storyline focused on his movie music, a Fifth Avenue section complete with a mock Easter Parade and a small wedding as well as the show-stopper, “There’s No Business Like Show Business” from “Annie Get Your Gun.” Berlin, a World War I veteran was also very patriotic and wrote songs about his love for America, with the most famous being “God Bless America,” which was made famous by singer Kate Smith and gained a new significance following the Sept. 11 attacks.

The cast features Cynthia Collins, Michael Dotson, Judy Fitzgerald, Don Farrell, Bradley Reynolds and Mary Jayne Waddell - all veteran actors who have appeared in numerous ATI shows.

Michael Berkeley arranged the music and will be at the helm of the baby grand piano.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for new audiences to get to know the resident company, and if they can walk away and feel like they know a little more about Irving Berlin and about our performers, then we have done our job,” Shepard said.

At 2 p.m. May 4, ATI will also host a “Behind the Curtain” talk with the cast, designers and Chris Lewis, program director for the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative, immediately following the performance.

Kids can watch Peeps experiments during the Easter Celebration at Conner Prairie in Fishers. (Submitted photo)

Candy coma awaits at Conner Prairie

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie plans to have events for the whole family during its Easter Celebration on April 19. easter Kids will have the chance to collect candy and Easter eggs, compete in egg-and-spoon races and egg rolling, and other historical games. And older kids can watch the ubiquitous and nearly indestructible Peeps marshmallows as they fizz, freeze and inflate during a science demonstration.

“Easter in Prairietown is fascinating,” said Jason Adams, Conner Prairie’s manager of science interpretation. “We’re making some fun crafts out there.”

And of course the Easter Bunny will be there, too. But make sure to get to Conner Prairie early so kids can enjoy breakfast while they pose for pictures with the furry rodent. Breakfast settings are available at 8:30 and 11:30 a.m., but reservations are required.

The Science of Peeps events start at 11 a.m. at the welcome center, and new presentations begin on the hour through 4 p.m. For the finale of each presentation, kids will see how the Peep responds to a high impact crash by shooting them out of a potato cannon.

It’s all part of an increased focus on science at Conner Prairie, Adams said, noting that Conner Prairie was an experimental farm itself until the 1970s.

And his mind, the science experiments fall into that tradition. And when else would kids get to expose the indestructible common American Peep to radiation or extreme acidic conditions?

“The candy activities will be really fun, too,” Adams conceded.

The Egg-Stravaganza events take place at the Overlook Lawn starting at 2 p.m. The most important of which – for candy fans – is the egg drop, which is broken down by age group.

And don’t forget to watch artist Laura Clack as she decorates eggs with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resistant (batik) method from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

And it wouldn’t be Conner Prairie without a fun way to learn about history. So in 1836 Prairietown kids can discover how the Zimmerman family dyes Easter eggs. The citizens of the town are preparing for spring and there’s a lot of planting to be done, flower arranging at the Campbell House, and “tussie-mussies” to make at the Gregory’s. People can also taste delicious maple gingerbread at the Campbell House starting at 1:30 p.m. until quantities run out.

Easter Celebration • Conner Prairie • 13400 Allisonville Rd. in Fishers • 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 19 • Cost is $15 for adults, $10 for kids age 2 to 12 and free for children under 2 • For more information call 776-6006 or visit www.connerprairie.org

Westfield Easter Egg hunts on April 19 • Imagine Church Easter Egg Drop is one of the largest and most exciting Easter Egg hunts in Indianapolis. Last year, more than 15,000 eggs were dropped from a helicopter with more than 2,400 people in attendance. For more information, visit www.westfieldeggdrop.com.

• The Easter Bunny will be bringing tons of eggs for all children through age 12 to enjoy so make sure to bring along your basket to the Washington Township Easter Egg Hunt. Also, don’t forget your camera to take pictures and meet the Easter Bunny at Asa Bales Park. Don’t be late as the hunt will start promptly at 11 a.m. No registration necessary for the free event.

Toyota issues more recalls - Toyota said it would recall 1.7 million U.S. vehicles, another in a wave of recent recalls by major auto makers on the heels of clampdowns on vehicle safety by regulators in the United States, Japan and China.

Toyota’s recall involves 27 vehicle models, including the Corolla, Yaris, Matrix compact cars and RAV4 and Highlander sport-utility vehicles.

The recalls were prompted by defects ranging from seat rails to engine starters. Engine-starter defects led two vehicles in Japan to catch fire, but Toyota said it wasn’t aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by the problems that prompted the latest recalls.

Bank of America could owe you - Bank of America reached a settlement with U.S. bank regulators for $772 million over allegations the bank prodded customers into signing up for extra credit card products, federal regulators said Wednesday. The agreement, which includes $727 million in refunds to consumers and $45 million in penalties, settles allegations brought by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Credit card companies have marketed these products aggressively to consumers, saying they would protect the cardholders from identity theft or cancel debt in the event of a job loss.

Bledsoe, Carey shed the most weight news@currentinwestfield.com Riverview Hospital, through its corporate wellness program, Riverview HealthyWorks, recently completed the second “HamWellness ilton County Waist Reduction” weight loss challenge.

Beginning on Jan. 6, employees from the City of Noblesville, City of Westfield, Hamilton County, Noblesville School Corp. and Riverview Hospital competed in the spirit of health and wellness.

This eight-week program was developed to build a sense of community and to provide an incentive for the new year to make lifestyle changes through healthy eating, exercise and weight loss.

Participants were challenged to lose weight, with the top prize – a Kindle Fire, provided by Riverview HealthyWorks – awarded to a male and female participant with the highest percentage of weight loss at the end of the program.

This year’s male winner was Andrew Carey, an employee of Hamilton County. Carey achieved a 9.8 percent weight reduction.

“Hamilton County Waist Reduction gave me

the motivation I needed to lose weight and get healthy,” he stated. “Since the program included several organizations within Hamilton County, I was able to complete the challenge with my wife who is an employee of Riverview Hospital.”

The female winner was Lisa Bledsoe, MD, a physician at Riverview Hospital. Bledsoe achieved a 14.7 percent weight reduction.

“After joining the program, I decided to make some healthy lifestyle modifications. This involved eating more fruits and vegetables and incorporating moderate exercise in my daily routine,” she stated. “My goal is to make this a more permanent change. I’ve lost the same 20 pounds over and over again. I want this to be the last time.”

Program offerings included two weekly 50-minute exercise classes at Riverview Rehabilitation & Fitness in Noblesville. Exercise formats included Pilates, boot camp, yoga, kickboxing, aerobics, Zumba and PiYo. Riverview also offered two 30-minute wellness presentations Topics included “How to lose one pound per week” and “Making self-care a priority.”

Question: “Hi Jordan, I have a few pet peeves about frequent grammar errors I see and would love for you to clear them grammar guy up for either me or the rest of the world. Here they are.

1. An apostrophe “s” after a last name.

Example:“The Smith’s are here. I don’t know what the Smiths own that are here, but the suspense is killing me.

2. A cents symbol after a price that has already been given the decimal point to symbolize cents. Example: .69c (instead of $.69). I don’t know how you divide a penny into 69/100ths but I’d be willing to round up to a full penny when purchasing that pack of gum.

3. When people talk about going “further” on their drive than me. I believe they went “farther.” Furthermore, I believe they used the wrong word.

Thanks for making grammar so fun! I love reading your articles! (Marcy Vigren) Answer: Thanks for writing in, and for your kind words, Marcy. Normally I wouldn’t do three questions in one column, but all of these annoy me, too, so I think we can knock them out quickly.

• Apostrophes do not make words plural (except when they do). I’ve written a previous column about this, but a refresher

is always useful. An apostrophe-“s” after a noun makes it possessive, not plural, in almost all circumstances. A notable exception is making lowercase letters plural (i.e.

“Mind your p’s and q’s”).

• Cents get a dollar sign and a decimal OR a cents sign. You could write $0.75, or 75¢, or even, I suppose, 75 cents, and all would be equally correct. But .75¢ would suggest you are talking about fractions of a cent, which is probably best left to bankers and gas station price boards. On the whole, I’d recommend sticking with the dollar sign, since most keyboards don’t even have a ¢-sign anymore.

• Further and farther are complicated.

I’ve dedicated a previous column to this, but the simple answer is that “farther” indicates physical distance and “further” indicates an addition or improvement. The complicated answer is that they’ve historically been used more or less interchangeably and the distinction between them is a fairly modern one. I’d refer you to my previous column for a more elaborative discussion.

Cemetery on Mount of Olives. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Awaiting the Messiah

Commentary by Don Knebel

Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives has been important to Christians since the first century. Jesus met with his disciples among its olive travel trees, prayed with them near its base at Gethsemane and ascended to heaven from its peak near Bethany, sites all now marked by churches. For even longer, the Mount of Olives has been important to many Jews, who still seek to be buried along its slope.

The Mount of Olives lies across the Kidron Valley from the eastern wall of the Temple Mount.

According to Jewish tradition, the Messiah will signal his arrival by coming down the Mount of Olives, crossing the Kidron Valley and entering the Temple through the eastern wall’s Golden Gate. When Jesus followed this path riding a donkey, he was welcomed as the Messiah by followers waving palm branches. Rabbi Irving Greenberg famously said in 1967 that the difference between Jews and Christians will finally be settled when the Messiah descends the Mount of Olives and announces whether it’s his first or second trip.

To the left of the path that modern visitors take down to Mount of Olives is an ancient cem-

etery, containing about 70,000 tombs from the time of King Solomon’s Temple to the present.

For thousands of years, Jews desiring a ringside seat for the Messiah’s arrival have been interred along the Mount of Olives’ western slope. They believe, like other Jews and Christians, that the Messiah’s appearance (first or second) will initiate the bodily resurrection of the dead. Consequently, they are buried with their feet to the east to be able to greet the Messiah face to face as they arise from their tombs. In the meantime, people pay their respects by placing small rocks on the stone tomb covers, reflecting their belief that the entombed souls are eternal.

A single grave site on the Mount of Olives reportedly costs up to $85,000. For those who can’t afford to await the Messiah from there, there may be no reason to worry. An ancient legend says believers from around the world will be able to tunnel to the Mount of Olives when the Messiah arrives.

Growing perfect tomatoes

Commentary by Noah Herron

Now is the time to start your tomato seeds indoors. For a gardener, this is probably the most exciting time of the year.

Gardening You get a fresh beginning to what is going to be a great season. Well at least we hope so.

Most tomato varieties can be grown in our area so choose varieties that works best for your family. Beefsteak, Cherry, Sauce, Canning, etc. … once you have the seeds you’re ready to plant. Use a soilless mix to start your seedlings.

The seed itself provides enough nutrients for the seedling during this period. Any extra nutrients will make the tomatoes grow too fast and get lengthy. After six weeks of growth, your tomato transplants will be ready for the outdoors. At this stage, your plants need a slow release, organic fertilizer (5-5-5). This will promote healthy foliage growth to help protect your fruit. Select a location with good drainage and full sun. Always make sure to weather any plants that have been growing indoors. Do this by slowly introducing them to the outdoor elements over a weeks’ time.

Now that your tomatoes are outdoors, make sure your soil stays moist but allow for it to almost dry out before watering again. Over watering can introduce diseases and wilt. Under watering can put unwanted stress and crack your tomatoes. When fruit begins to set you’ll need to

add a side dressing of fertilizer (2-3-1) and then again at two weeks after first picking, and lastly at six weeks after first picking. Switching to a lower nitrogen fertilizer will help tomato growth and not foliage. This fertilizer is very important to promote large, healthy tomatoes!

My favorite heirloom tomatoes are Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, Golden Jubilee, Marglobe Supreme, Roma, Black Krim and Mortgage Lifter.

Dispatches Tighten loose handles and knobs permanently – For mysterious, quantum-mechanical reasons, the screws that hold handles and doorknobs always eventually work loose. A few drops of thread-locking compound will permanently fix the problem, yet still allow you to remove the screw with ordinary tools if you need to later. A heavier duty variety is also available for large bolts and machinery.

Two lubricants you need in your house – Silicone dries quickly and invisibly and doesn’t attract dirt, making it a good lubricant for drawer rollers, window tracks, door locks, bike parts, and other plastic, metal and rubber surfaces. It also helps protect metal against rust. Lithium grease is a long-lasting, weather-resistant (though somewhat messy) lubricant for garage door tracks, car doors and latches, and other metal parts that get heavy use outside.

Dad’s advice: Whole-house remodel for ranch-style home

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

EXISTING HOME: This home in the 96th Street and College Avenue area was built in 1998 but had been unoccupied blueprint for for a few years. The improvement owner was able to purchase the home from a family member. “The whole house was severely outdated and I was skeptical about buying it. To ease my concerns, my dad recommended a complete house remodel. I trusted his judgment and decided to move ahead with the purchase.”

DESIGN PHASE: Every single room in the dated one-story ranch needed a facelift. “I knew I wanted dark cabinetry and bamboo wood flooring throughout the house. While working through the design phase, the rest of the details fell into place.”

KITCHEN DETAILS: The original kitchen was completely gutted and replaced with dark maple cabinets, granite countertops, a tiled backsplash and coordinating stainless steel appliances. To brighten up the kitchen and illuminate the dark cabinetry, new recessed light fixtures were strategically installed around the perimeter of the cabinets. Long plank bamboo flooring with a “baked natural” finish was installed not only in the kitchen, but throughout the entire house.

GUEST BATH: Everything but the mirror was replaced in the guest bathroom. A dark maple vanity was installed with a coordinating “Autumn

Brown” granite countertop. The original tub and ceramic tile surround was replaced with a deep soaking tub and shower wall surround.

MASTER BATH: The original master bath had old carpet, outdated fixtures and peeling wallpaper. Everything was gutted and prepped for a complete remodel. The same dark maple cabinetry and granite countertops were kept

FOREVER

RESULT: After all the planning and construction, the dated house was transformed into this first-time homeowner’s dream home. “The kitchen is by far my favorite room in the entire house. I like the way the colors all turned out with the dark cabinets and light-colored countertops and backsplash.”

consistent with the guest bathroom vanity. Replicating the look of natural travertine, porcelain tile called “Giotto Gris” was used for the floor and shower walls. The shower was finished with a new brushed nickel shower head and a semiframeless glass shower enclosure.
