Fourteen Westfield Washington Schools’ students were recognized for their ability to overcome obstacles and become Achievement successful in their life and studies during the Westfield Youth Recognition Breakfast on April 23.

The obstacles facing these students varied from those who turned their life around, are role models within their schools, fighting an illness or disease to those who lost a parent or sibling.

“They are examples of what we can all learn throughout life. Things I can’t imagine dealing with … I don’t know if I could be that strong,” Mayor Andy Cook said.

“The quality of kids you see here, make a real statement as where Westfield is going as a community.”

Cook said more than 400 families have been referred to the Westfield program in the past four years.

“It takes time and the positive impact is just now beginning to be seen,” he said.

The program strives to build a healthy community for tomorrow by extending a helping hand to the youth of today through family assistance, tutoring and mentoring. These programs are available to qualified children needing assistance.

“Referrals to juvenile court and the detention system and the numbers of youth involved is dropping,” Cook said.

Students honored include: Stephanie Camacho, fourth grade, Carey Ridge Elementary – “Stephanie has demonstrated integrity, compassion and caring as she volunteers to serve as a peer tutor for non-English speaking students,” said Lara Long, teacher.

Dacota Cecil, sixth grade, Westfield Intermediate School – “My dad told me about football. He said I needed to be a student before I became an athlete,” he said.

Wellbrooke of Westfield made us a promise.

And, they’ve kept their word.

More than 15,000 eggs were picked up by 850 Westfield children. (Photos by Robert Herrington)

Easter Egg Drop Imagine Church hosted its annual free Easter Egg Drop on April 19 at Washington Woods Elementary School. More than 15,000 plastic eggs were dropped by a helicopter onto three age-specific areas in the fields behind Washington Woods. The event, which was free but required reservation, filled within two days and had 850 children ages 10 and younger participate.

Helping Mom get the long-term care she needed has been one of the most difficult things we’ve faced. We considered every option.

And, then one day we visited Wellbrooke of Westfield.

Nine-month-old Paige Wiser inspects a few plastic eggs.

They made us a promise things would be better there. It’s their LifeSTYLE Promise™, and it’s made all the difference.

Different because Mom’s care is based on her interests and needs as a person—not a patient. Different because her surroundings are like a private suite in a hotel and she is treated like the most important person there. Different because she feels safe and comfortable.

And, so do we.

Thousands of eggs were dropped from a helicopter before the start of the hunt.

At Wellbrooke of Westfield, a promise is more than words.

It’s the kind of care unavailable anywhere else. Visit Wellbrooke of Westfield today and see the difference for yourself. Or, call (317) 804-8044 to learn more.

Boogie to history, music

By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com

With every chord played and every note sung, Westfield High School teachers Mark Ewing, Jennifer Hasler-Troutman and Kurt on stage Frederick hope students learn and community members old enough to remember will reminisce the past and how music intertwined the 1970s in American history.

At 7 p.m. May 1, WHS will reenact the decade with the second American Pie concert. Last year’s inaugural event had students, staff and community members focused around a 1960s theme. However, this year American Pie will revolve around the ’70s.

“There is no better place to tell the story of the 1970s than through the music of the era,” Mark Ewing, one of the teachers organizing the event, said. “American Pie is an opportunity for everyone at WHS to get involved in the educational process. It truly is American history brought to life on stage. It allows interactions between staff and students in an educational experience like few other things can.”

Ewing, along with fellow teachers and organizers Jen Hasler-Troutman and Kurt Frederick, started preparing for the show in January by processing the auditions. Once selections were made, the students were slotted into a specific act. Most student work is independent after that until three weeks prior to the show, where three hour practices are held at the high school multiple times a week.

However, students are not the only ones participating in the show. Teachers from other

Westfield schools as well as community members will be involved in different acts. Even the founder of American Pie, Columbus North High School teacher Ed Niespodziani, will be making a guest appearance at the show.

“When you’re at a concert like this it’s unique because you’re looking at the time of the period,” Hasler-Troutman said. “It’s almost a tribute to the history the Westfield community has lived.

For the community it’s a chance for them to relive the music of the seventies.”

Fredrick even put together a website full of historical and fashion information, dance crazes and videos of the artists’ original live performances to help the students participating learn more about the era.

Last year, approximately 30 students participated in the American Pie show which included musicians, singers and promoters. This year that number rose to more than 50.

To create a complete rock concert experience, a sound company supplies monitors, speakers and more. According to Hasler-Troutman, Frederick and Ewing, it will create an experience very similar to that of a true rock concert.

“It rocks. We didn’t cut any corners,” Frederick said. “We really get the best of the best and I think we put together a show that anyone can really come to and have a good time and let loose.”

Tickets are on sale now. Pre-sale tickets are $7 and ones purchased at the door will be $10.

Why did you become a teacher? As a student, I was blessed to be inspired by so many different educators that truly made an incredible impact on my life. Special education has been my area of interest because I see so many possibilities in these children and desire for them to be the very best that they can be in life.

What goals do you have for your students? I want my students to love learning and desire to achieve. Kids need to believe in themselves and realize the potential that lies within them.

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Love on your kids and encourage them. Laugh hysterically and play with your children. Support your teachers and stay involved in the learning process.

What is your favorite movie? “The Blind Side” Who is your favorite musician or band?

The Westfield Rotary Club is sponsoring a Carmel High School student’s opportunity to spend her senior year in Switzereducation land. Rachel Zaiger, 16, spoke to the club at a recent Tuesday morning meeting expressing her excitement and anticipation for her upcoming trip.

Rotary Youth Exchange is a study-abroad opportunity for young people who spend up to a year as an international student hosted by a local Rotary Club. Prime candidates for the program are youth between the ages of 15 and 19 who have demonstrated leadership in their school and community; are flexible and willing to try new things; are open to cultural differences; and can serve as an ambassador for their own country.

The Westfield club will pay a portion of Zaiger’s necessary costs and expenses for such things as insurance, travel documents, airfare and additional travel and tour fees. The club also serves as a form of hometown support for her during her stay abroad. Zaiger will be sponsored by a local Rotary Club in Switzerland. She will live with a host family from that local club and attend the local school there.

Zaiger is the daughter of City of Westfield Attorney Brian and Gaynelle Zaiger and has three older brothers. She enjoys running, reading, listening to music and plays rugby. She participates in Best Buddies and is a member of the “Do Something

Just seven and a half months after breaking ground, organizers for the Angel of Hope in Noblesville’s Forest Park construction will dedicate the memorial at 3 p.m. May 4.

“This is the most exciting thing I’ve ever done in my life and the most fulfilling,” said Kirk Forbes, memorial organizer.

Forbes said the memorial garden is “to help all parents in our community who have lost children.” The Hamilton County memorial will be the 123rd Angel of Hope in the nation.

“I think it is an opportunity for closure for a lot of people in the community,” Forbes said. “She truly does represent hope for the whole community. Hope to get you through the grief of losing a child. Sometimes all you have is hope to hang your hat on.”

The memorial centers on the Angel of Hope Gary Warren, Bill Eagleson and Randy Neff install statue, which stands about 7 feet tall.

Grand Junction Brewing Co. was launched on the dreams of two business partners: Jon Knight, a native Englishman and beer aficionado, who has alconstruction ways aspired to operate a proper brew pub; and Charlie Wood, a passionate home brewer with a strong desire to share his love of brewing with the general public. Their vision includes producing craft brews and serving them with food in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Their 1800s building at 110 S. Union St. and Westfield’s rich

history inspired the name – a nod to the Monon and Midland Railroads, which once crisscrossed the city, and the Underground Railroad.

Grand Junction Brewing opened by offering its Fab 5 House Beers: 1520 (Hefeweizen), Squirrel Stampede (Nut Brown Ale), The Mulligan (Scottish-Style Ale), Imperfect Backside (Oatmeal Stout), and One With Nature (American-style IPA); and three guest taps.

Grand Junction Brewing is open noon to 8 p.m. Sunday, 4 to 9 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 2 to 10 p.m. Friday and noon to 10 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call 8045168 or visit www.grandjunctionbrewing.com.

Rail Epicurean Market 211 Park St. • 804-8555 www.railepicureanmarket.com 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Closed Sunday and Monday.

The formerly rundown property at 211 Park St. has been repurposed as upscale, rustic Rail Epicurean Market

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Toby and Melanie Miles are off the beaten path – for now. The married couple of chefs have created an upscale rustic cover story European-style market and café across from the southwest corner of the soon-to-be developed Grand Junction Park and Plaza.

“Epicurean stands for quality over quantity – the community coming together to enjoy food and drink with people. It’s better to enjoy one bottle of wine with company than two by yourself,” Toby said.

Like the almost 100-year-old barn that houses their business, the Miles are attempting to transform the eyes and palette of diners to be a little bit different.

“Our menu changes – if not daily – ever other day,” Toby said.

The history The barn at 211 Park St. began on a Westfield farm before it was moved to a lumber yard on Mill Street. Property owner Bob Beauchamp is not year of the exact year but thinks it was in the 1920s when the yard caught fire.

“This place survived,” he said.

The barn was purchased and moved to its present location in 1958 by the Edwards family. Windows were added Beauchamp and the barn become a dairy and ice cream store. However, for years the building has been used as storage.

“It was absolutely full of bike parts, but all cheap stuff. I counted 300 bikes and stopped,” Beauchamp said. “We got rid of an awful lot of stuff on craigslist.”

The barn was stripped down to its frame and had to major renovation work done on the exterior and interior. Luckily the barn has two feet of crawl space under it because there was no power, sewage, water or gas.

“The only electricity was an extension cord from next door,” Beauchamp said.

The barn’s pieces were repurposed. Toby said

Above: Prior to renovations, the barn at 211 Park St. had fading exterior wood and a loose tin roof.

Right: The bottom half of the barn is home to Rail Epicurean Market and the second and third levels will be rental space.

the original wood siding now is cabinetry and trim, the tin roof is décor around the interior and old doors have been reused.

“The countertop is an old bowling alley floor,” he said.

The Mileses shared their concept idea with Beauchamp, who helped make it a reality.

“It was a massive collaboration effort,” Melanie said. “When we originally pitched the idea he shot us down pretty quickly.”

“When we bought this, we didn’t intend to do this. I didn’t think this would ever work out,” Beauchamp said, adding the barn’s upstairs is being converted to rental space. “It’s certainly unique to Westfield … What’s going to happen to the area is going to be amazing when Grand Junction opens.”

Cooking up success Food has been in Toby’s life since he was a young boy and his mother was a caterer in England.

“As a child he would sit under the prep table and play while she worked,” Melanie said, adding Toby would make cookies and pastries in the back room until he was of legal age to work in the kitchen.

The Mileses met each other while working at Keltie’s. Toby, who started as a sauté chef before becoming sous chef, started a few months prior to Melanie, who began on the grill before to the front of the house. The two started dating after Keltie’s closed in August 2012.

Rail Epicurean Market opened April 1. Half the business is the European-style café and the other half is a grocery with local products.

“All of our stuff is setup to grab and go – pastries, quiches and coffee at breakfast and sandwiches, soup and salad at lunch,” Melanie said. “It’s a very convenient alternative to basic fast food.”

A handful of times each month, Rail offers popup dinners. The schedule and four-course menu is announced at the beginning of the month.

“It’s usually paired with beer or wine,” Melanie said. “We’ve had them on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday…”

The restaurant offers 14 reserved seats at each meal and all diners sit at one large table.

“We piece together different parties,” Melanie said. “It’s fun to see people sit down and get to know others in Westfield and Carmel. It’s very fun for us to be creative and different.”

Supporting fellow businesses Melanie started Preservation in Westfield as a farmers’ market venture. Two years ago she began selling the European style jams, jellies and preserves wholesale.

“It really evolved into wanting to open a café and have kitchen space to make jams. Local artisans weren’t represented in Westfield. You have to drive downtown to the source or wait for the farmers’ market season,” she said. “We want a welcoming space that people can come hang out here and support local businesses.”

Local products include two roasters of cof-

fee, Pet Lovers Organic Bakery of Westfield, Bow Belly Farm eggs of Sheridan, Sage’s Simple Syrups of Whitestown, frittle, sweet and spicy pecans, 4 Birds Bakery granola, crock pot meals, ketchup and mustard from Sheridan, Smoking Goose Meatery of Indianapolis and of course, Keltie’s Bread Pudding.

“Ninety-five percent (of our products) are made by small Indiana vendors,” Toby said.

“They put so much time, effort and love in their products and it needed to be represented appropriately. People deserve to eat a little better. We wouldn’t have it if it weren’t the best.”

In addition to selling the products, the Mileses use them in their homemade recipes. They said the goal is to expand their customers’ palettes.

“We try to keep it simple but do simple the best way possible,” Toby said. “We work with what we can get locally.”

The problem with using local small suppliers like B. Happy Peanut Butter are: “When they went on vacation we ran out of peanut butter,” Toby said.

Rail offers beer and wine at the restaurant or to go. Instead of the traditional Bud Light or a regular stout beer, Toby said Rail offers local craft brews like a nitro milk stout which has less bubbles and is creamier.

“We try to find more unique options to introduce people to different styles of beer and wine,” he said. “We’re not going to get it for the sake of being different.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP

READERS’ VIEWS Fields are more than open grass

Latest IRS gaffe is maddening mess We find last week’s news of the IRS complaints about tight budgets - even though the agency paid massive bonuses to misbehaved employees - to be curious and maddening as hell. This, of course, comes on the heels of us taking our annual shellacking on April 15. What it says to us is that we (and you) should have a thank-you note coming for the extra cash bestowed on these (cough) “high-performing” government workers. The awards totaling $2.8 million, to speak nothing of the approximately 27,000 hours in paid-time-off awards, really have us grinding our molars. This tells us, among other things, that an agency that once targeted conservative groups, and some of whose employees did not pay taxes but grabbed handfuls of reward cash without any resulting castigation (except for a boss losing a job), is appearing to be out of control. A report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration uncovered this whole new mess. The watchdog group determined that more than 2,800 employees either were previously disciplined for conduct issues or for failure to comply with federal tax requirements.

Oh, and that money that was doled out? You guessed it; it’s yours. As you may recall, we have revulsion for much of the Republican Party and its leadership, but we believe that were a GOP member in the White House at present, this would be front-page, skewering news on a daily basis. But since the liberal, mainstream media is so enamored of the left, the story simply dies on the vine. Either there is universal dismay for this behavior with regard to the IRS (This has to bug you, right?), or America will have thrown in the towel.

••• The Westfield Youth Assistance Program conducted a broad recognition program last week for its students, proof positive that this initiative works. We see it as something of a trailblazer for similar programs up and running across Hamilton County.

Editor, It is probably stupid to get attached to a piece of land that has nothing more than the soccer goals, a barn in the corner, and half the grass that a soccer field needs. But after playing soccer at Habig for eight years, I’ll honestly miss it. I’ve met so many great people I’ll never forget, it’s crazy. And I made some of my best friends on those sidelines. It may not look gorgeous, but look a little deeper and you will see the memories I do. In the corner by the baseball fields there is a small stream surrounded by little trees that split into 3 tiny waterfalls.

On those fields it didn’t matter what clothes we wore or who our friends were. We could just be ourselves and have fun. So, when soccer moves to Shamrock Springs Field this spring, I’ll honestly miss Habig more than I should, because those fields are a part of of who I am. And that will never change.

Taking in the view

Commentary by Terry Anker

In recent years, I’ve moved my preference from the often more convenient aisle seat to one by the window. It had been my firm belief that being able to stand up quickly upon landing, and to expand my too-large-for-airplane-seat frame into the shared space of the passageway, made up for being assaulted by fellow passengers carrying handbags that could pass for suitcases hitting me in the head as they made their way past. In addition, I thought that having quick access to the bathroom was worth excusing the other travelers who needed to escape the row at some point.

So now, I visit the men’s room before departing and squeeze myself in next to the curving fuselage of the craft. However, with these adjustments, one gains the world. From the window passing below are the sapphire waters of the Florida coast, the vast breadbasket of the plains, and the majesty of the snow-capped Rockies. Each had been unnoticed by me – in my own eagerness to maintain control over my

surroundings, I found that I was missing much of the beauty of the world around me. But the miles high perspective also brings consideration as it brings awe.

Views of extensive urban sprawl and ever increasing density raise issues of land use.

Views of the retreating water levels of Lake Mead, an important reservoir of fresh water for Las Vegas and much of the southwest, suggest questions of conservation and the immediate dependency that we humans exhibit for our own convenience. And, views of much of the Midwest makes one pause at the agricultural abundance produced by so few for so many.

Deception is easy from 30,000 feet. Little is exactly as it appears. Yet from above the clouds, one is reminded that deception is also perpetrated at street level.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.

- Helen Keller

Unsubstanstiated claims Editor, I am writing to point out some of the claims made at the political forums recently. I have heard of a number of untruths. For instance one of the Coroner candidates claims he has worked for the past three coroners, but, when I think back I have worked closely with the coroner’s office for the past eight to 10 years and I do not ever recall this individual working for them. I am also very familiar with the training required and the continuing education required to maintain their certification. This individual has been out of the loop for over a decade. Mr. Conn claims to have done his training in Illinois, which is not recognized by Indiana, as a firefighter I cannot go to Illinois and get continuing education without approval or acceptance from the State of Indiana. When I checked with the Indiana State Coroners Board they state that he has never kept up his certification per the Indiana statutory requirements. Is this what we want in an elected official? Anyone can call them the number is (765) 479-1934.

An awesome day out with mom Commentary by Danielle Wilson For once I’m going to talk about a positive family experience. So, to all you finger pointers who think my soul is dead inside, humor here’s proof that I can be an awesome mother.

I’d been schlepping back and forth between our house and two different middle schools one morning accommodating both band and orchestra performances by my twins. Somewhere along the way, all communication broke down and I actually “lost” one of my seventh graders for 20 minutes. [She’d ridden a bus back to her school with a dead cell phone while I waited for her in the other school’s parking lot.] Suffice it to say, after hauling tail across town to get her home and then turning immediately around to retrieve her brother, I was a tad bit annoyed. Added to my frustration was that I had only 10 minutes to get him to Tae Kwon Do. A fairly standard Saturday morning, true, but nevertheless aggravating.

So when my son hopped into the car and said, “Let’s skip TKD, and do something just the two of us,” my immediate reaction was, “No! We have to stick to the schedule!” Then he reminded me that for Christmas I’d given him a certificate for a “Day Out with Mom”, and I realized he had me.

I called my husband to tell him I was taking the rest of the afternoon off, and then headed for the nearest bowling alley. “Hurricane” Andrew beat me

squarely in two rounds of pins, even though the first win was only because a glitch in the stupid computer scored him a strike on his 10th frame.

(He found that hilarious, of course.) Then we enjoyed a wonderfully fatty meal at Steak-n-Shake while we colored the children’s menu and built a paper race car. Three solid hours of one-on-one time with my youngest son, a soon-to-be teenager. When will that ever happen again?

I hope soon, actually. It’s amazing how different children are when they aren’t competing with siblings. Andrew was funny, sweet, engaging . . . attributes I don’t get to see very often amidst a busy household with an obnoxious 15-year-old and fourth-grade drama queen. He kept asking, “What do you want to do, Mom?” even though it was totally his day to plan. As we headed home, I made a mental note to keep “Day Out with Parent” as an annual stocking stuffer.

The aforementioned obnoxious 15-year-old has yet to cash his certificate, and I’ve heard mention of “skeet shooting.” I say, bring it on. This awesome mom can’t wait.

Peace out.

In a perpetual comma Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I misplace a lot of things: keys wallet gloves the dog’s leash. Recently I misplaced something that may not seem very important humor unless you read that last sentence carefully. Then you will realize that believe it or not I can’t find my comma.

Yes it’s true. The comma on the keypad of my iPhone simply disappeared. I will say this: I am very troubled. Where did it go? I don’t know; I still have plenty of other punctuation marks—which I really enjoy using. But I want my comma back!!!

There has been a lot written about how a comma can change the meaning of a sentence.

A bestselling book titled Eats Shoots and Leaves actually has a comma after the word “Eats” describing a murderer who pauses for a snack before firing at his intended victim. Without the comma it’s the dietary habits of a Koala.

So where did my comma go? I went to the store where I purchased my cell phone and asked the sales rep John. “Wow that’s a new one on me” he said. Is it really that important to have a comma on your phone?”

“Yes it’s important. You can’t write a newspaper column without commas (as I’m attempting to do now) at least I don’t think so.”

I explained that finding this comma was crucial to being precise and avoiding confusion and that I was not going to be happy without a comma key on my phone.

“When was the last time you used a comma in a message Mr. Wolfsie?”

“Well last week I texted my wife a list of things I wanted her to get at the supermarket: hot dogs beans soda apples lettuce potato chips cookies canned soup.”

“Did you punctuate that sentence correctly?”

“That’s a lot of commas for one text. Which plan are you on?

“Wait a second. You’re telling me I get unlimited minutes but not unlimited commas?”

Another tech guy came over to help me. We weren’t really making any progress so the store manager finally stepped in to assist and said to his employee: “It’s your lunch hour why don’t you go eat Joe?” I don’t know who Joe is but apparently he’s very tasty.

Oh, wow, I just figured out where the comma key is. Apparently, I inadvertently switched to the Canadian keyboard on my smart phone, which does not have a comma in some versions. But wait, now I seem to be missing another punctuation mark.

Not the whole thing, thankfully, just half of it.

Classical singers, musicians combine forces

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com Being a little late in a good cause may be a trivial problem when the payoff is expected to be huge. That’s what Eric Stark, artistic director of the Indianapolis Symphonic concert Choir, is anticipating when he conducts more than 300 musicians at the Palladium on May 3.

In 2013, international observances of the Benjamin Britten birth centennial were widespread.

The British musician had made his mark in the 1930s, and by the time he died in 1976, was considered his country’s greatest composer of the 20th century’s middle decades. His “Ceremony of Carols” is frequently heard at Christmastime, and his opera “Peter Grimes” is one of the few modern operas to have a solid place in the repertoire.

Stark planned to climax last season’s schedule with a concert devoted to “War Requiem,” Britten’s setting of the Latin Mass for the Dead and poetry by Wilfred Owen, who died in service to king and country mere weeks before the Armistice ended the First World War. The work was commissioned for the 1962 consecration of Coventry Cathedral, which had been damaged in World War II. But Stark wanted to lead up to the event with a tour of sites significant in Britten’s life beforehand, building anticipation and support among the choir’s donors and friends. Since those concerned with the Britten legacy in the United Kingdom were renovating one of those sites in 2012, the Symphonic Choir’s tour was delayed a year, until last June.

In 2006, Stark had mounted a performance of “War Requiem,” which demands three adept vocal soloists, a large orchestra, and choirs including a boys’ (or children’s) choir, at St. Luke’s Methodist Church. Though he remains grateful for the church’s accommodating the massive concert, landing the Palladium for the 2014 centennial performance is especially exciting because “it’s the best option in the area,” he said.

Six rows of 50 seats each will be occupied by choristers, comprising 150 Symphonic Choir members, the 40-voice Butler Chorale and 15-20 members of the Indianapolis Men’s “War Requiem” by Benjamin Britten • A performance featuring the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, Indianapolis Children’s Choir, members of the Butler Chorale and Indianapolis Men’s Chorus, three soloists, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, all conducted by Eric Stark • 8 p.m. May 3 • The Palladium in Carmel • Tickets start at $30 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

THIS WEEK Spring pops concert – Take a musical trip to the movies during the annual St. Mark’s Orchestra Spring Pops Concert at CARMEL noon May 4. The program, along with a pitch-in lunch, will be at St. Mark’s Wesley Fellowship Hall in St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, 4780 E. 126th St., Carmel. Planned selections by the 30-member orchestra, under the direction of Ed Rowell, will include tunes from James Bond, Superman, Looney Tunes, Pirates of the Caribbean and more.

For more information, call 846-4912 or visit www. stmarkscarmel.org/concert.

Conductor Eric Stark will lead a performance of Benjamin Britten’s “War Reqiuem” on May 3.

Chorus. About 100 members of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir will be placed in the gallery at the rear of the hall. That leaves the stage for a 100-piece orchestra (the Indianapolis Symphony plus extras) and three soloists: soprano Sinead Mulhern, tenor Thomas Cooley, and baritone Christopheren Nomura.

Stark, who was just named a Sagamore of the Wabash, is now in the midst of a week of rehearsals, culminating in two rehearsals for the massed forces on Thursday and Friday in the Palladium.

“There’s a real through-line to this piece, with the full chorus singing the Latin text only, yet it’s still amazing how the Owen text seems to have been written just for this piece,” Stark said.

Britten was explicitly a pacifist, and this work goes beyond mourning the dead and their sacrifice in order to protest against war in general.

“The poetry reflects the ghastly horror of trench warfare,” Stark said. “Any romanticized notion is rendered insincere and farcical. Whatever one’s political beliefs, we can rally around the thought that we should treat each other with compassion.”

Related event – Half-hour “Words on Music” at 7:10 p.m. May 3 in the hall featuring ISC scholar-in-residence Dennis Shrock, a member of the choral faculty of Texas Christian University and former conductor of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale. It’s free to ticket-holders.

Grace & Glorie – The Westfield Playhouse, 1836 Ind. 32 West, will open its newest production, Grace & Glorie, at 7:30 p.m.

WESTFIELD May 1 and 2. The show, which runs through May 18, stars Marty Essig and Kristen Wilson and is directed

by Doug Davis. The play is about a feisty 90-yearold cancer patient who has returned to her beloved homestead cottage to die alone and her volunteer hospice worker. Tickets are $12 and $10 for seniors. For reservations, call 896-2707.

March-A-Thon – Marching Eagle band members and the 2014 Zionsville Community High School incoming freshman marchers will perform from 2 to 4 p.m. May 3. The March-AzionsVILLE Thon is a fundraising event for the band, as well as a thank you concert for the residents in Zionsville who have continuously supported the music program. The band will be marching down Main Street and for three miles throughout the village.

‘Yonkers’ more than just one-liners

By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Community Players continue their “Season of Restoration” with the opening of Neil Simon’s award-winning theatre play “Lost in Yonkers” on May 1 through May 11.

“The play is different than Simon’s other snappy one-liner plays in that it is more from the heart with deeper characters which makes it among his more poignant works,” said Director Jim LaMonte. “In short, the play is an actor’s dream, and Simon maintains a balance between poignancy and humor in this moving production.”

Winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, the “Lost in Yonkers” is set in the city of Yonkers, N.Y., during 1942 and focuses on the lives of two teenage brothers - Jay and Arty - who are dropped off at the house of their stern grandmother and mentally-challenged Aunt Bella by their father, Eddie, who took a job as a traveling salesman after the death of their mother.

“The action is filtered through the eyes of 15-year-old Jay (Jude Binkley of Carmel) and his younger brother Arty (Christian Baltz of Carmel).

I am so lucky to have these talented boys in the show. Their ability to deliver far exceeds their ages,” LaMonte said. “I think audiences are going to be charmed with them.”

Other leading cast members are Nan Macy (Columbus, Ind.) as Grandma, and Jean Childers

From left, Christian Baltz, Jean Arnold, and Jude Binkley from Carmel Community Players will stage a presentation of “Lost in Yonkers” in May. (Submitted photo)

Arnold (Carmel) as Bella, with supporting roles

by Jeremy Tuterow (Indianapolis) as Eddie, Joe Aiello (Carmel) portrays gangster Uncle Louie, and Robin Contrell (Indianapolis) plays Aunt Gert.

“Most of Simon’s work is centered on the comedy. Which is great. You go see it, you laugh and go home. With ‘Yonkers,’ there is a lot more to take with you when the curtain falls,” LaMonte said.

“Lost in Yonkers” • 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays • May 1 through May 11 • Tickets are $15; seniors (62+) and students $12 • For more information visit www.carmelplayers. org.

Jewish Film Festival makes debut

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The premiere of the Indianapolis Jewish Film Festival will feature nine thought-provoking movies as a part of a weeklong event, movies including a documentary shown at University High School in Carmel.

The inaugural festival, which takes place from May 3 to 10, will showcase a variety of film styles, from historical documentaries to dramas to light-hearted comedies. Panel discussions will precede some of the films, including some controversial movies such as “Trembling Before G-D,” a film about Hasidic Jews confronting their homosexuality.

Robert Epstein, an Indianapolis attorney and local Jewish community leader, organized the festival as a way to explore many aspects of Jewish life and history. He said a group of about 20 people, not all of A week of movies – All films cost $10 except the May 4 showing and gala which costs $30; the May 9 showing is which are Jewish, narrowed down free. about 200 films to the nine they are • “David,” 7 p.m. May 3 at the Central Library in Indianapolis showing.

The film depicts the famous Six-Day War, which took place in 1967. The film explores how the conflict affects the area to this very day.

University High School was chosen as a location because it is home of Congregation Beth Shalom, but families of any students at the high school can receive free tickets to the movie.

Many of the films will be shown at Christian venues because Epstein wants this festival to be welcoming to people of all faiths. Not only will rabbis be present, but ministers and priests will participate in panel discussions.

PRESENTS

‘Six Days’ that changed the world Commentary by Christopher Lloyd Made 40 years after the war it documents, “Six Days in June” is a powerful lesson in history and human fallibility.

Though it lasted less than a reviews week, the Six-Day War has had a more profound impact on global politics than just about any other conflict in the latter half of the 20th century. Fearing an imminent attack on all sides from mounting Arab forces, Israel launched a preemptive offensive that crushed their enemies’ armies and expansively redrew the boundaries of the still-young Jewish state.

The result was a Jerusalem and Gaza Strip controlled by Israelis but rife with stateless Palestinians, and a Middle East defined by Arab/Muslim antipathy toward Israel. Essentially, everything that has happened since - from terrorist intifadas to broken peace talks - has arisen out of that brief and deceptively decisive military action.

Director Ilan Ziv painstakingly paints a portrait of the geopolitical situation before, during and after the war. Relying not just on archival footage, he also conducts modern interviews with key figures, both Jews and Arabs, from the highest levels of the government to common foot soldiers, journalists and bystanders.

We learn what the fighting was like on the ground - the quick annihilation of the Arab air forces, rendering their forces on the ground ef-

fectively impotent as Israeli tanks moved in.

Ziv is careful to present the reasoning, emotions and miscalculations of those on both sides of the war.

The film reaches two key conclusions. First, that Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, the regional strongman who whipped up pan-Arab opposition to Israeli, was a self-aggrandizing bluffer who didn’t really want to go to war - at least not until his side was militarily dominant.

Second, that Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol was bullied by his generals into a first blow that won the day but set up decades of resentment and struggle.

“Six Days in June” looks back on that fateful war with clear vision and sobering insight.

Weather hurt pace of home sales SPRING FASHION Commentary by Jim Litten

With average home prices reaching $161,191 in March 2014, home sales prices in central Indiana are up 6.1 percent comReal estate pared to March 2013.

Eight of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first three months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year. Hamilton County is among the areas seeing strong year-to-date average sales prices, up 10.9 percent to $255,747.

• In Westfield, prices inched up slightly. For the first three months of 2014, the average price of a home was $252,307, a 0.6 percent increase compared to the same time period last year.

• Of the home sales in Westfield last month, three were priced $1 million to $2 million; six were priced $500,000 to $1 million; 10 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 19 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 24 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and two were pried $99,999 or less.

• Though prices are up, sales declined. In Westfield, 64 homes sold in March, a decrease of 31 homes compared to March 2013. Similarly, sales in Hamilton County fell 31.1 percent to 462 homes.

• The number of homes for sale in Westfield increased. In March 2014, 251 homes were on the market, which is an increase of 28 homes from March 2013.

• For the first three months of this year, homes in Westfield remained on the market an average of 73 days, 14 fewer days compared to the same time period last year.

Now that harsh winter conditions have finally lifted, we expect warmer weather will attract more potential buyers to open houses.

As we move into the second quarter, we believe home sales will increase and prices will remain strong.

Building permits up 21 percent in past month editorial@youarecurrent.com March building permit reports indicate that in central Indiana, single-family building permits increased 3 percent construction compared to March 2013 year-to-date and have increased 21 percent during the past month.

Reports indicate there have been 1,138 new home permits issued so far this year compared to 1,104 in 2013.

“We are excited to be seeing the month-to-

month and the year-to-year increases in permit numbers once again,” said Steve Lains, CEO of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. “It is clear that housing creates jobs and is extremely influential in creating the strong economic viability we are beginning to see again here in central Indiana, and we expect to see those numbers continue to rise,” Lains said.

In central Indiana, the permits issued through March 2014 have created a total economic impact of $203,797,368 in local income, $46,265,376 in local taxes and 3,450 local jobs.

They keep human hours, stopping activity during the middle of the night and picking up again in the morning. They share photos, laugh out loud — LOL! — and even engage in conversations with each other. And thousands can be bought, all for the price of a cup of coffee.

To become an Accredited Chest Pain Center, Riverview Health engaged in rigorous evaluation

by SCPC for its ability to assess, diagnose and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack. To the community served by Riverview Health this means that processes are in place that meet strict criteria aimed at: reducing the time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis and treatment; treating patients quicker during the critical window of time when the integrity of the heart muscle can be preserved; and monitoring patients when it is not certain they are having a heart attack to ensure they are not sent home too early or needlessly admitted to the hospital.

Riverview Health offers a spectrum of care for heart patients and includes such focal points as dispatch, an emergency medical system, emergency department, cutting-edge cath lab, quality assurance plan and a community outreach program.

Exercise works – Exercise can help you get a good night’s sleep, especially if you’re older. In a small study in Sleep Medicine, researchers found that people (55 years or older) with chronic insomnia who started doing aerobic activities reported significantly better sleep, mood, and vitality than those who did non-exercise activities.

Melatonin – Melatonin used to be promoted as a way to treat insomnia and prevent jet lag, but now it’s touted to treat or prevent everything from fatigue, anxiety, headaches, and depression to dementia, tinnitus, irritable bowel syndrome, and skin damage from the sun. Not to mention heart disease and cancer, as well as menopausal symptoms and all the other signs of aging. Generally, anything that’s marketed as a cure-all should set off warning bells, but some of the claims are well-supported.

Lifting lighter weights – You don’t have to lift heavy weights to gain muscle. Lighter weights may be even more effective - provided you lift them to fatigue, according to a small study from McMaster University in Canada.

Eat the correct number of calories – Metabolism is the chemical process in the body that converts the food you eat into fuel. The result: You get the energy that keeps you going each day. Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories per day your body naturally burns at rest, stated Louis Aronne, MD, an obesity specialist at the New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center. Knowing your number is key because it means you’ll be aware of exactly how many calories to consume to maintain your weight (or lose or gain, if need be).- www..health.com

Principal vs. principle

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

of my classmates, but its usefulness as a grammar tool holds up.

“Principal” derives from the Latin principalis, Question: “I get e-mails all the time in which people mix up the words ‘principle’ and ‘principal.’ or “first; original.” From there we end up with our modern definitions in the adjectival form: “first in I even see them misused GRAMMAR GUY on the news! Maybe you order of importance” or, in economics, “denoting an original sum invested or lent.” As an extension can write a column to of the former definition, we get “principal” as clear up some of the confusion.” a noun meaning “the most important or senior Answer: What an apropos question – I just person in an organization spent the entire day with or group;” “the head of a the word “principal” on … if you are talking about school, college or other the tip of my tongue after the source of something, education institution;” or a phone call from my car or a fundamental truth, you “the leading player in each dealership (They offered section of an orchestra” – me the opportunity to want “principle.” Otherwise, the “first” person, more or keep my same monthly you want “principal” … less. From the latter defipayments, but on a larger nition we get “principal” loan. What a deal!) as a noun meaning, as you may have guessed, We’ll look at “principle” first, since it is the “an original sum invested or lent.” simpler of the two.

The thing to take away from this is that if you “Principle” derives from the Latin principium, are talking about the source of something, or a meaning “source,” and it has maintained that fundamental truth, you want “principle.” Otherdefinition in English. We use “principle” to mean wise, you want “principal” – and whether you use “a fundamental source or basis of something” or it as an adjective or noun should come naturally “a fundamental truth or proposition.” For example, based on the context. free speech is a principle of American democracy.

“Principle” is also always a noun – thus being (slightly) simpler than “principal.”

Inside the Mezquita of Cordoba (Photo by Don Knebel)

Spain’s only surviving mosque Commentary by Don Knebel

Young Christian girls in Spain dream of marrying in the Mezquita, the Great Mosque of Cordoba. At the same time, Muslims travel are barred from praying in the building that illustrates the best of early Islamic architecture and manifests Spain’s turbulent religious history.

During the early first millennium A.D., the Mezquita’s current location was the site of a temple to Janus, the Roman god of beginnings.

In the 6th century, Cordoba was captured by the Visigoths, Germanic Christians deemed heretics by the established church became they refused to accept the divinity of Jesus. After their leader converted to orthodox Christianity in 589, the Visigoths razed the temple and built a church, whose mosaic floor can be seen through a cutout in the floor of the Mezquita.

Muslims from North Africa conquered Cordoba in 711 and used part of the Visigoth church as their mosque. Later in the 8th century, Abd alRahman I, an exile from Syria, established an Islamic dynasty centered in Cordoba and reportedly purchased the site of the Visigoth church for a mosque modeled on the Great Mosque of Damascus. The mosque was expanded by al-

Rahman I’s successors until it covered almost six acres. A flat wooden roof, capable of shading 20,000 worshippers, was supported by 856 Roman columns from earlier buildings, their heights extended by novel double brick and stone arches suggesting palm trees.

In 1236 Christians reconquered Cordoba, at the time one of the most important cities in the world. Instead of demolishing the Great Mosque, as they had other Spanish mosques, church leaders removed a large section of the roof and the columns supporting it and erected an ornate cathedral in the middle of the mosque.

The cathedral, incorporating gothic, baroque and renaissance themes, remains surrounded by the original columns.

When Holy Roman Emperor Charles V observed the mutilation of the mosque by the embedded church, he reportedly expressed regret at having authorized the construction. That decision nonetheless preserved most of the Mezquita, now Spain’s second most visited site.

Blending the old with the new in historic kitchen remodel

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

EXISTING KITCHEN: This historic home located in downtown Noblesville was built in 1880. After living in the house 19 blueprint for years, the homeowners improvement realized it was time to update. “When the oven broke, I wanted to replace it with a new double oven but the space didn’t work. That’s when we decided to go ahead and remodel the entire kitchen as opposed to just replacing the oven.”

MORE ISLAND SEATING: The original island did not accommodate enough seating for the entire family. The base of the island was reduced, giving the countertop the needed overhang for additional bar stools. Also, the cooktop was relocated to the perimeter making it safe for the entire family to dine at the island.

UPDATING EXISTING CABINETS: “The original cabinets were dark with poor storage. However, they were still in great shape so we decided to keep them.” Existing cabinets were modified by a carpenter to make way for new stainless steel appliances. The base and perimeter cabinets were professionally painted with a beige color, making the kitchen appear larger. The island and pantry cabinets were painted in a contrasting gray.

COUNTERTOP AREA: Solid surface countertops in a “Mocha Granit” color were chosen for the perimeter, including a beautiful stone backsplash tile called “California Gold”. “The backsplash is our

favorite part of the remodel. We especially love the enhanced look of the backsplash tile. After the backsplash was installed, we couldn’t stop staring at it. It’s beautiful.”
