obituary Charles Francis Lenhart died March 27.

He was born Dec. 17, 1953. He was deaf and had many disabilities. He loved his family, Janus Developmental Services and his staff at New Hope of Indiana. He enjoyed watching sports and got excited during home runs and touchdowns.

After his parents died, Charles lived with his Lenhart sister, Sharon, until he went into supported living. Charles was able to live somewhat more independently with a couple of roommates and 24-hour support provided by the dedicated staff of New Hope of Indiana. His staff focused on giving him the best quality of life possible.

His love for Janus got him up every day at the crack of dawn. He was an inspiration to many people and he made this world a better place.

Charles is survived by his sister Sharon Mengel (Bill); nephew, Michael Wheeler (Benita); nieces, Chris Irwin (Todd) and Michelle Smith (Steve); a great niece, Sara Wheeler; and great nephews, Pete and Will Irwin. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister Patsy Meyer. The family would like to thank the staffs at Janus Developmental Services and New Hope of Indiana for their love, devotion and excellent care of Charlie.

A gathering of friends and family will be held April 28 at Leppert Mortuary on Range line Road in Carmel from 4 to 7 p.m. with a Celebration of Life at 7 p.m. Burial will take place at Oaklawn Cemetery at 10 a.m. April 29. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to Janus Developmental Services, 1555 Westfield Rd., Noblesville, Ind. 46062 or New Hope of Indiana, 8450 N. Payne Rd., Suite 300 Indianapolis, Ind. 46268.

Park hosts 10th tree giveaway

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For the 10th straight year, hundreds of free tree saplings will be available for Westfield residents to arbor day take home on Arbor Day. This year, State Rep. Donna Schaibley donated an extra 100 saplings to the parks department, so 600 trees will be available.

The tree giveaway will begin at 9 a.m.

April 22 at Asa Bales Park in Shelter 1. Attendees are encouraged to park at the high school. Trees are first come, first serve, and for the first 30 minutes will be limited to three saplings per family.

Parks Director Melody Jones said the city does its best to plant trees throughout the area, but the ability to have residents pick up trees to plant on private property is a bonus.

“Trees are important for the community,” Communications Director Erin Murphy said.

“Anytime the city does a project or has a development that comes in, it’s important that the trees that need to be torn down are always replanted. It’s a very important initiative for administration and council, and this is a very specific way for the com-

This is the sixth year Westfield has received the Growth Award from the Arbor Day Foundation. The award is given to cities which have increased planting efforts throught the years. Last year, Westfield completed mitigation with regional detention and planted thousands of trees at Raymond Worth Park.

Planting instructions are provided with each tree, and detailed descriptions of the five varieties are available at enjoywestfieldevents.com.

Danny Wohlschlaeger teaches NinjaZone students at the FUNdamentals gym in Westfield.

N i n j a a c a d e m y t e a c h e s d i s c i p l i n e , r e sp e c t

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Danny Wohlschlaeger knows what it’s like to be a 5-year-old boy wreaking havoc on his family and home.

He also knows the best way to teach life’s principles to a young boy is by putting all that energy cover story into something useful.

Wohlschlaeger, 23, is the face of NinjaZone, a new “sport” recently created by Carmel’s Casey Wright. Wohlschlaeger creates the curriculum used by approximately 250 NinjaZone gyms worldwide. The newest addition to the program, NinjaZone Academy, opened last month at the Grand Park Events Center at Wright 19000 Grand Park Blvd.

Wohlschlaeger originally learned about the ninja sport through gymnastics, which he began coaching his senior year of high school. Originally a wrestler, it didn’t take him long to learn the ropes.

“I was coaching a lot of gymnastics (at FUNdamentals gym in Westfield), and Casey had the NinjaZone program already started,” he said. “She opened this gym (FUNdamentals) to just be another gym for NinjaZone to expand in. She just loved my energy and the way

I engaged kids, and she asked me to be the curriculum director for NinjaZone. So, I went through and rewrote curriculum for the ninja program.”

With the young ninjas, ages 3-13, Wohlschlaeger doesn’t teach handsprings and round-offs. Especially with the young boys, he helps direct their focus to something tangible which also burns energy, such as making their way through obstacle courses.

“Ninja was really breaking into an untapped market,” he said. “What do you do with a 5-year-old kid that’s a boy?

They just run around, and they just climb on stuff and they never stop talking and they’re just crazy. All of them are.

It’s very rare I meet a 5-year-old ninja that isn’t like just nuts, but in a totally good way, because I really believe that energy is going to be used for something so cool when he’s older. I was probably a terrible 5-year-old child, but now that energy is being used for something so much bigger than my parents ever thought about. It’s cool that NinjaZone gives these kids an outlet to be crazy and run around but also learn about respect.”

Through different ninja age groups, Wohlschlaeger teaches participants about different responsibilities.

“It’s so cool what these kids are learning. It’s so awesome being able to talk to these kids about respect and work

ethic and responsibility,” Wohlschlaeger said. “When I’m talking to a 4-year-old kid about responsibility, it is things a 4-year-old needs to do, like you have to flush the toilet when you’re done using it and making sure you put your shoes on. When I’ve got a class of 10- or 11-year-old kids, I’m talking to them about self-responsibility. It’s like I’m talking to them about like real things happening in school.”

While teaching lifestyle principles, NinjaZone coaches also are creating athletes.

“If you’re not giving it 100 percent and you’re not getting something out of it, you’re wasting time,” Wohlschlaeger said. “I think it’s good being able to speak life into these kids. You have to learn how to listen to somebody other than your parents. We are creating early positive experiences.”

“Danny is the adult version of so many ninjas in our program. He is full of energy, love and confidence. He connects with kids, peers and leaders in a way that few people can.

He exhibits what coaching should be,” Wright stated in an email to Current.

National Ninja Games hit Indy The National Ninja Games, created by the NinjaZone, will be held Aug. 15 in Indianapolis. The competition, similar to America Ninja Warrior but for kids, will feature obstacle courses with martial arts, gymnastics and more.

“Kids are tested on all the things they learn throughout the year at ninja class, and they get to put that into two obstacle courses,” Curriculum Director Danny Wohlschlaeger said. “They are timed on obstacle courses, judged on execution and based on fluidity and amplitude and how flashy it is. It’s really just awesome because girls have dance recitals and all these things growing up to get involved in, and boys typically just aren’t doing that. They aren’t doing dance recitals in preschool class, but ninja games are like they’re putting on a show with this huge introduction.”

What gives?

Well, as you may remember from last week, I headed down to Florida with five-sixths of my family for spring break vacation. I’ve just returned, having driven through the night for 16 hours straight.

Doo helped some, taking the 1-to-5 a.m.“orphan maker” shift, and then again from 7 to 9 when my eyes quite literally began to cross. I suppose when a middle-ager like myself only gets about four hours of upright dozing, she’s bound to be a little off.

But I think my emotional reaction to the Masters Tournament is more than the result of post-road trip exhaustion. I grew up watching golf. I have vivid memories of Papaw sipping his highball and cheering on Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson. My parents have a painting of their favorite players hanging in their kitchen. Doo and I have always followed Phil Mickelson and fondly recall his first green jacket win just a month after our fourth child was born. When I hear the CBS intro music, I get chills. And I may have a commentator crush on Jim Nantz.

As I read back through this, I realize how lame I sound. I can’t pull all-nighters and I actually choose to watch golf, even when awesome movies like “Big Trouble in Little China” are on. I suppose the combination of sleep deprivation, a blatant disrespect for personal hygiene and the gorgeous pink azaleas of Augusta National have left me susceptible to a longing for my youth. Oh, how I long for the ‘80s!

But here in 2017, I should probably just pull myself together and shower. Peace out.

Kudos to the North Carolina Tar Heels for the solid play during the NCAA men’s basketball championship game. While we can happily celebrate the victory, is it OK to pine a bit that our own Indiana teams didn’t fare as well? My beloved IU failed even to make it to the starting line. Then Purdue, Butler and all the Big Ten teams collapsed in due course.

So, we picked a new favorite and cheered for their victory – even if somewhat less passionately! Did we betray our loyalty to our former teams by picking a new hero – or did they fail us by leaving us without one? Our desire to back a winner is a strong one. We find ourselves caught up in the cheering section, advocating for folks that, just a few short weeks earlier, would have seemed inconceivable. Now, we ride the emotional wave with each shot and exchanging lead on the scoreboard.

In giving our allegiance so easily, have we debased our commitment to the home team? Or, are we simply making due with the choices available – and vigorously digging in? Whether it’s sports, politics or menu choices, sometimes we must acquaint ourselves with a backup plan.

Can the fish be just as good as the pasta?

Pasta is our favorite. Should we go hungry if none is offered? Or, should we identify an alternative and find a way to enjoy it, a bit fishy though it may be?

The Tar Heels brought some terrific entertainment. And, we enjoyed it. Still, my heart remembers the storied victories of my own alma mater’s past. As a spectator sport, basketball is better when we choose a team to support – even if we hold out, at least a bit of our love, for the home team.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Campaign encourages teens to call or text for help Commentary submitted by CEO Indiana Youth Services Association David Westenberger, Indiana Senator James Merritt, Indiana State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell “If someone had called for help right away, maybe my son would have survived his first high school party.” It’s a statement few parents think they’ll ever make, but one that far too many Hoosier parents have already made.

In an effort to create awareness, particularly during prom and graduation season, Indiana Youth Services Association’s Make Good Decisions program and State Sen. Jim Merritt, author of Indiana’s Lifeline Law, have partnered with Indiana’s Text-to-911 services and Indiana State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell, chair of the Statewide 911 Board, to increase public awareness about the ability to call or Text-to-911 in an emergency. Indiana’s Lifeline Law provides legal amnesty from prosecution for underage drinking, and many related drinking offenses, for a person who calls or texts (or for persons assisting) and reports a medical emergency, sexual assault or other crime. The

purpose of the partnership is to encourage young people to contact 911 for help when they find themselves or a friend in an emergency.

HOW IT WORKS Those who contact 911 via Text-to-911 or by calling must demonstrate that they are acting in good faith by completing ALL of the following three steps: • Call and provide their full name and other relevant information requested by law enforcement officers and emergency medical responders.

• Stay at the scene with the ‘victim’ until law enforcement and emergency medical assistance arrives.

• Cooperate with authorities on the scene.

Indiana is leading the nation with innovative technology to better serve Hoosiers and make it easier and safer for the public to contact 911 in an emergency. Indiana is one of only four states that offers a statewide deployment of Text-to-911 services. If you’re a parent to teens, please encourage them to call or text 911, and stay and cooperate if they find themselves in an emergency.

READERS ’ V I E W S Schools hungry for referendums Editor, How many referendums will be enough to satisfy the hunger of the Westfield Washington School administration? The answer to that question may never be known, as the bloated Westfield schools continue to get even more bloated.

This money that is planned on being stolen is earned money from property owners; the same folks who must manage their own balance sheets after that money is stolen from them. How ironic. Why are the public schools immune to living within their means?

Nowhere in any discussion is there any mention of cost-cutting or efficiency improvements; rather, more and more spending on luxuries that have nothing to do with basic education. What is needed is more constructive instruction, not more and more construction.

There is no evidence that this referendum will promote educational

Providing for children

progress. In addition, there has been little to no coverage of the details of this referendum, by either the school administration or the local media (including Current, which has not exactly been challenging the school administration on those details). Purposeful topic avoidance in an off-election year to increase the odds of this referendum passing unknowingly by the citizens is not a new tactic.

It is past time for the Westfield Washington School administration to be sent a message that their days of salivating over taxpayer money are over. Voters, do not let complacency or apathy allow a 30year mortgage on YOUR property for more frivolous public spending.

Vote “NO” to finally force the Westfield Washington School administration to be stewards of taxpayer monies and start living within its means.

Vince Catanese, Westfield

Editor, I am a long-time resident of Westfield and I love this community! I am a graduate of Westfield High School, attended Purdue University, where I met my husband, Dave, and we were excited to pick Westfield as our home. We have two children who have been able to take advantage of the many opportunities in Westfield Washington Schools. In addition to my own children thriving in the school district, I have been able to fulfill my dreams as an educator, opening up Oak Trace Elementary School in August 2000. We work hard every day and achieve academically, but we also are a family and enjoy learning, growing and having fun together. It is unfortunate that schools have been put in a position to ask their communities for funding so that we can continue to offer quality programming and much-needed construction to accommodate our growth. None of us chose this career to be salespeople, trying to make money for our schools. We just want to continue to provide the children and families in our care with an optimum learning environment and quality programming. It is my hope that our community will vote YES on May 2 so that we can continue to be a school district and community that people choose to raise their families.

Sincerely, Robin Lynch Principal of Oak Trace Elementary

Death by Oreos great way to go

Always working to find the perfect home, or get you the most $$$ for yours!

R E A L E S TAT E G R O U P S *Each office independently owned and operated.

We hear a lot about frivolous lawsuits, but we don’t hear nearly enough about the delicious ones. A guy from humor Kentucky is suing the company that makes Oreo cookies.

He asserts that Oreos are slowly killing him. So what’s the problem? This sounds like a fun way to die.

The Nabisco company claims that 450 billion of these treats have been eaten in the last 100 years and no autopsy has ever listed the cause of death as Oreo cookies.

I’ve been eating Oreo cookies for 65 years. We know the ritual: A glass of cold milk, plus 20 or 30 Oreos, then you start twisting them apart. Some people eat the side with cream frosting first; some just eat the frosting; some dip the cookie in milk; some guzzle the milk after the cookie.

How can you sue a company that has given you so many wonderful options in your life?

So, does this guy have a case? Unlike cigarettes, where a warning is clearly emblazoned on the package, there is no admonition anywhere on the Oreo package or on the cookie. Considering how people eat Oreos, maybe inside the cookie, right

in the vanilla cream, the Nabisco people should print: “The Surgeon General has determined that eating Oreo cookies over an entire lifetime can raise your triglycerides and affect your cholesterol levels.”

The Nabisco company admits their cookies have many calories, but they claim they are already testing alternatives. When McDonald’s said they were looking for an alternative to their fatty hamburger, they came up with a soy burger. Two out of three people who ate the burgers loved them. That was the problem. In six months, only three people ate them.

What about those cauliflower and broccoli farmers who have been getting away with murder for years? People are taking those veggies, breading and deep frying them. Then they dunk them in a creamy cheese sauce.

Those farmers better have some pretty good lawyers.

The Benefits of Hiring a Designer

By David Decker With the ever-growing popularity of home renovation television shows and websites like Houzz & Pinterest many homeowners have developed the “do-ityourself” mindset when it comes to remodeling their own homes. Unfortunately, what those shows and sites don’t advertise are the true logistics of getting to the finished product; and sometimes it’s those unknowns that take that “dream photo” and turn it into a nightmare. That is why it is important to bring those photos to a design professional instead of attempting to do it on your own.

Not only will your designer be able to turn those ideas into a reality, but they will tailor them to your own style to create a space unique to you. A good designer will take the time to get to know you and your needs, determine the struggles that currently exist in your space

and re-design it to guarantee a more functional outcome.

Aside from functionality, professionals have an eye for design and the knowledge needed to make appropriate material selections for any space. They get the first look into the latest and greatest trends in the design world and are trained to generate innovative ideas and designs with exclusive materials.

Additionally, notable designers are able to guide you to qualified tradesmen to ensure installation standards are met if not exceeded throughout every aspect of the remodel.

Renovating your home should be an exciting experience, not a stressful one. Let us help you! For more information or to set up a meeting with one of our designers for your next kitchen or bathroom remodel, give us a call at 317.575.9540 or visit our website at www.theaffordablecompanies.com.

Vonnegut, Jr. home on display April 29-May 14

By Heather Collins editorial@youarecurrent.com

The 56th annual St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild Decorators’ Show House and Gardens will feature the boyhood home of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., April home show 29-May 14.

The 5,907-squarefoot residence, at 4401 N. Illinois St. in Indianapolis, was built by the author’s architect father, Kurt Vonnegut, Sr. Construction began in the fall of 1922 and was completed in the spring of 1923. The house incorporates a primarily “Arts & Crafts” architectural style, with components of mahogany woodwork, oak floors, ceramic tile and leaded glass interior doors, but also incorporates an eclectic English County and English Tudor vernacular.

Architect Evans Woollen III, famous for designing Clowes Memorial Hall and the Barton Towers, also lived in the home.

The Indianapolis home is owned by the Walton family, which purchased it in 2008.

(Submitted photos)

Decorator Chair Joan Hilger said the Decorators’ Show House and Garden is one of the oldest traditions of Indiana. In-

dianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett, in partnership with the the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library and Visit Indy, proclaimed 2017 “The Year of the Vonnegut.”

According to Hilger, through remodeling projects, 26 designers and two landscape artists have upgraded the house to give it a fresher, more modern look while maintaining the same footprint and “great bones” of the house.

“It’s a unique house, and it’s a great way to raise money for a great cause,” Hilger said.

Proceeds for the 2017 St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild Decorators’ Show House and Gardens will benefit Eskenazi Health.

The show house will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 29 through May 14. Adult admission is $20.

Senior tickets are $18 and children tickets are $5, available at the door only.

The revue features songs from Sondheim musicals such as “Company,” “A Little Night Music” and “Follies.” In addition, there are songs Sondheim wrote the lyrics for from “West Side Story” and “Gypsy.”

“The challenge is I expanded the cast a bit because we wanted to be a little more inclusive and reach more people and

include more people in our production,” Kingston said. “So we have two couples, myself as the narrator and two accompanists. The challenge has been assigning everything. The original production only had three people on stage. So it’s taking this gorgeous music and assigning it to the different people that I have. It’s fun and challenging.”

As narrator, Kingston explains the setup for each number.

Clair and her husband, John, took over Carmel Repertory Theatre in 2013 and renamed it Carmel Theatre Company. The group had been using Studio 15 on Main Street.

Kingston said with her role as artist

concierge with the Palladium, she can only direct one or maybe two shows a year.

“The goal is to direct one and appear in the other and not have to direct,” Kingston said. “I’ve never done as much directing as I have now. It’s mostly been performing or costuming.”

The Clairs ran Broad Ripple Playhouse for several years before it closed. Then Clair taught music for 15 years at Clay Middle School and helped with the theater productions before retiring in 2011.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for seniors and students. There are 7 p.m. performances May 4, 5, 6, 12 and 13 and 2:30 p.m. May 7. For tickets, visit brownpapertickets.com/event/2912415.

Neva River in St. Petersburg, Russia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

St. Petersburg: What’s in a name?

Commentary by Don Knebel St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Its various names reflect Russian history. travel In 1703, 31-year-old Tsar Peter I founded a port on a marshy area at the eastern end of the Gulf of Finland that he had captured from Sweden.

The port, along the Neva River, gave Russia access to the Baltic Sea. To protect the port from a feared counter-attack, Peter built a fortress on an island in the Neva River that he named for Saints Peter and Paul. A city developed around the fortress, expanding onto other islands. Peter named his new city Sankt-Petersburg, a German formulation honoring St. Peter as patron. Having become fascinated with European culture and architecture during an 18-month visit to European capitals, Peter gave his city a distinctly European look, with classical façades and broad canals. Peter, known to history as Peter the Great, made St. Petersburg the capital of Russia in 1712.

In 1914, after war broke out with Germany, the city’s name was changed to the

Russian-sounding Petrograd, with Peter I now its patron. In 1924, after the Russian Revolution, the Bolsheviks renamed the city Leningrad. After the fall of Communism, the city regained its original name after a public vote in 1991.

Today, St. Petersburg is the secondlargest city in Russia, home to more than 5 million people. The historic area around the Peter and Paul Fortress is preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage site, with large buildings prohibited. St. Petersburg is home to at least 220 museums, including the one-of-a-kind Hermitage, and more than 2,000 libraries. Its many colorful churches include St. Issac’s, the third-largest domed cathedral in the world. Because of its network of canals and rivers, the city is one of several dubbed the “Venice of the North.”

St. Petersburg is not Moscow’s Russia.
