Indy Eleven partners with city

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Indy Eleven Professional Soccer recently announced it has not only extended training sessions with Grand Park, but soccer also elected to make the Westfield spot a permanent home for the Indy Eleven National Premier Soccer League developmental team.

The Indy Eleven NPSL team will host five home games and potential playoff games at Grand Park and will continue to practice at Grand Park, but hold its home games at IUPUI’s Michael A. Carroll Stadium.

“It makes a certain amount of sense for Indiana’s professional soccer team to partner with what is the state’s premier setup for soccer, Grand Park, being the wonderful facility that it is,” said John Koluder, director of public relations for Indy Eleven Professional Soccer. “We have trained there for the past two years, and this year’s partnership allows us to have a more permanent space with locker rooms, medical rooms and more.”

Indy Eleven NPSL is in its third year, and Koluder said after hopping around at different venues, it’s nice to settle the developmental team at Grand Park.

“Being no strangers to Grand Park and the

people in Westfield, we have a very good relationship with the city,” Koluder said.

The Indy Eleven Professional Soccer team practices at Grand Park daily except for the Fridays before a home game. Practices generally run from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and are open to the media and public.

“It is a pleasure to have Indy Eleven use Grand Park as their practice facility,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “Indy Eleven attracts players from all over the world, and the team brings with them a level of expertise that is unmatched. We look forward to sharing our space with them.”

Food drive set for May 14

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The National Association of Letter Carriers is doing its share to end hunger.

The 24th annual philanthropy food drive campaign, called Stamp Out Hunger, is set for May 14.

Ronnie Roush, a Westfield resident, is the NALC Branch 888 president and food drive coordinator.

“It’s the nation’s largest one-day food drive,” Roush said.

His branch is in charge of collecting food for Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers and Geist (if delivered by the Fishers Post Office).

Roush’s branch’s drive also covers Lebanon, Danville, Fortville and Sheridan.

Roush said the goal is to have the cards and bags delivered to homes by May 10. Marsh Supermarkets donate the plastic bags and United Food and Commercial Workers donated the cards.

“Last year we collected (more than) 90,000 pounds as a branch,” Roush said. “We collected nearly 71 million pounds nationwide.”

Roush said the goal for 2016 is to top 100,000 pounds.

“Last year we collected 90,000 pounds as a branch,” said Ronnie Roush, Westfield resident and the NALC Branch 888 president and food drive coordinator. (FIle photo)

Roush, who has worked for the post office for 10 years, has been the branch president and drive coordinator for two years.

“We try to make sure the food collected within that city stays in that city,” Roush said.

“We’re using different food pantries depending what city you are in.”

For example, food collected in Carmel and Westfield goes to Open Doors in Westfield and Carmel United Methodist Church. Noblesvillebased Third Phase will receive food from Fishers and Noblesville collections.

The Cameron family travels to South Dakota to film ‘Lakota Girls’

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield’s Molli Cameron always wanted to tell the story of her great-grandmother, a woman who taught cover story school in South Dakota and married a Native American man, something completely unheard of at the time.

Molli decided to write a movie script about it, and took her husband, Russell, to film school in Chicago. The couple and their two kids, Caven and Clara, traveled to South Dakota to film “Lakota Girls.”

“I wasn’t sure if I could sell the script or if anyone could make a movie and produce it, so we decided to produce and make the film ourselves,” Molli said.

Two-thirds of the story takes place in present day, revolving around a young, white girl and young, Native American girl, and the middle portion of the story jumps into the past to tell the story of Molli’s great-grandmother.

“Most films made with Native Americans are rated R. They focus on the violence, the poverty, the alcohol and the drugs. So I wanted to make something that the Native American children and my children could watch,” Molli said. “I wanted a positive film that showed the two cultures connecting and getting along.”

with the horses, watching the children of the actors or helping Russell film. Clara, 10, helped Molli with dialogue, as the main characters in “Lakota Girls” are both young girls. Both kids took acting classes, and Russell and Molli said they learned by observing.

Russell also acted occasionally but spent most of his time filming and editing takes.

“One of the most difficult parts of the film-editing process is getting the audio correct,” he

said. “It takes a lot more time than you think.

One scene might be 30 or 40 takes.”

The Camerons began filming in June 2014 and finished the following January. The national screening for the U.S. premiere was May 5 in Rapid City, S.D., at the Black Hills Film Festival.

“We will have an Indiana premiere. I submitted the film to the Indy Film Fest, and we find out in the beginning of June if we get in,” Molli said. “It’s our first film, so we’re thrilled to have our film in any festival.”

And although both Caven and Clara enjoyed acting, neither wants to pursue a career in

the field.

“It’s a good skill to learn, but I’m not going to be an actor,” Caven, 12, said. Clara said she hopes to be a surgeon.

“It was a good family experience because it was something I wanted to do, and each of (the kids) could help get it done,” Molli said.

FROM THE BAC K SHOP

Persuasion is powerful tool In the wake of Donald Trump’s presumptive nomination for the Republican entry into the presidential election, there has come the usual analysis. It’s mostly what we expected.

“Trump’s gonna have his hands full.” “(Hillary Rodham) Clinton is going to take the full measure of Trump.” “She’s gonna make him choke on his past.” Putting those obvious comments aside, Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, took us with his own analysis. In short, he wrote he believes Trump’s methods of persuasion are genius, even though Adams is not a Trump supporter. He predicted last August that Trump would win the election.

“I can’t make this post appear balanced because Clinton is making big mistakes on the persuasion dimension, while Trump is being his usual skillful self,” Adams wrote. We urge you to read his insights, which we find extremely interesting, at blog.dilbert.com.

••• Sky News appeared at Current Publishing to quiz us on the mood of the area and what might have led to Trump’s presumptive nomination. Like we’re experts? Ha! Need to aim higher, gents! We very much enjoyed their company and off-camera chats about the political climates in England, where scores worship the queen, and here in ‘Merica, where scores worship the Kardashians.

••• To those of you that got out and voted last week, congratulations. As to those that decided not to vote, or weren’t able to vote, there’s still November’s General Election Day, so you still have a chance to make a difference.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

At death’s door Commentary by Terry Anker They say bad news comes in three. First, who is “they?” And second, who made “them” the arbiters of bulletin delivery? Yet, like so many of the old-saw populating our common lexicon, these often seem true. As the gloomy tidings roll in, we live in foreboding, expecting the next dark messenger to arrive. And with the appearance of the third in our unhappy trinity, we relax to enjoy our false security that the worst is over.

As is the nature of things, as we age, those we love age along with us. With the surprise passing of yet another decade, we are taking careful note of the face in the mirror but often ignore the deepening lines in the faces of our parents, grandparents, and other loved ones. We humans have a sell-by date. It is often not readily apparent, but don’t doubt its presence. Our lives can list from robust to decline in an instant.

Last week, a close friend lost her battle to a mean cancer, leaving her young daugh-

ter, despairing husband and family absent understanding. This week, a dear aunt finally let go of a life that had shifted from joy to burden – as the advancing years stripped her memories along with so much dignity.

And then, a close cousin, almost exactly my age, reached out to let us know he’d decided to discontinue his cancer treatment and hope for the best. Life, he said, was not meant to be lived as he was being forced to endure it.

While most of us, happily, will not darken death’s door for quite some time, why is it that death is so pleased to show up, uninvited, bringing the bereavement to us? With death comes longing and sadness, but also is delivered a seed of hope. Why wouldn’t we plant it?

Q UOTE OF THE W EE K When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

– Thomas Jefferson

Only two of our children inherited my ginger genes, but unfortunately, all four have what we like to call “Brithumor ish teeth.” Thankfully, modern orthodontics can easily fix cramped mouths and overlapping shark-row chompers, though it usually entails more than just braces for us Wilsons. Namely, the extraction of four or more teeth. Our oldest daughter actually had to have 11 out before donning the metal. Eleven! (That’s one louder, by the way.)

Last week, our youngest was up to bat, needing several uppers and lowers pulled, and as we did with her siblings, we supported her decision to receive mild sedation. We had fun predicting how she would react to the drugs. Our other kids have run the gamut from uncontrollable giggling at literally nothing to prolonged weeping over the perceived loss of a chin. Since Maddie tends to have a flair for the dramatic anyway, I anticipated she would lean towards the emotional.

That proved to be the understatement of the year. From the moment I helped her out of the wheelchair into the car, all the way through the Steak ‘n Shake drive-thru for the prescribed milkshake, the entire length of my run-in to CVS for painkillers, to when we pulled into the driveway 45 minutes later, this child was sobbing.

First it was because her phone was out of memory, and the planned video recording of her post-medication antics had to be scrapped. (No worries, I used mine. It’s priceless!) Next, she was upset because she couldn’t remember falling asleep, and then she became distraught because she was drooling her strawberry/chocolate side-by-side all over her shirt. Finally, she mourned the fact that she could not feel her mouth.

As her mother, I was both enormously entertained and legitimately concerned, but eventually, I was just plain exhausted. I ended up taking a nap alongside my daughter after we’d both recovered from the morning’s shenanigans Peace out.

I was informed of the candidates’ spouses, children, dogs, pet rats, rabbits, and their names, along with the candidates’ various community activities, but precious little about why I should vote for any of them.

Undoubtedly their listed websites offered more useful information, but I had little interest in spending an hour or two on researching the eight candidates listed in contested elections.

I had hoped that the Election Guide would distill much of that information for me.

Detecting nutrient deficiencies Commentary by Devina Prasad, MD While the human body is an incredible machine, it relies on many things to keep it running and in top form. nutrition In fact, our bodies need so many vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, it can be hard to tell if something’s lacking unless we’re aware of the signs. Here are some tips for detecting common deficiencies.

Vitamin D Muscle weakness, chronic pain, joint pain and fatigue can be subtle signs of a Vitamin D deficiency. A lack of Vitamin D puts kids at risk of respiratory disease and for children with asthma, the disease can worsen. To ensure you get enough Vitamin D, venture outdoors on sunny days. The more you’re exposed to sunlight, the more Vitamin D your body produces.

Iron Eating foods such as leafy green vegetables, legumes, beans and liver will help ensure your body has the iron it needs. Bruising, hair loss, fatigue, brittle nails, sore muscles and pale skin are some signals you may be iron deficient.

Dehydration With summer approaching, avoiding de-

hydration is even more important. Signs you need to drink more water include dry mouth, decreased sweating, lightheadedness and dark, scant urine.

Electrolytes Electrolytes – calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphate chlorine and others – are minerals needed for muscle and nerve function and to balance body fluids. Excessive heat, sweating, vomiting and diarrhea can cause an electrolyte imbalance. Signs include muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness, low blood pressure, increased heart rate, confusion and loss of consciousness (in extreme cases). You can prevent an electrolyte imbalance by staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet.

It’s important to note that the signs and symptoms mentioned above can be caused by a variety of conditions. That’s why it’s important to consult with your doctor when new symptoms occur to determine the cause.

Zika expected to be limited

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mosquitoes B-Gone owner Steve Simons doesn’t expect any major outbreak of the Zika virus in Indiana. your health The Zika virus is primarily spread by Aedes aegypi mosquitoes.

“The reason the professionals don’t think Zika is going to make it into Indiana very much is they (the mosquitoes) don’t do winter very well,” said Simons, a Fishers resident, who co-owns the business with his wife, Angela. “They don’t continue to multiply (in cold weather). When you go to Louisiana or Florida, they multiply like crazy all year around. Therefore, they’ll get that mosquito down there a lot more than we will.”

Simons said Aedes aegypi mosquitoes are slow movers, but will likely get to Indiana.

The biggest threat is pregnant women passing the virus to their fetus, and the effects it might have. The virus has been linked to microcephaly in infants whose mother contacted the virus. Simons said adults are getting Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the nervous system, from Zika.

Owners of Mosquitoes B-Gone Angela and David Simons. (Submitted photo)

Simons said a big part of what his business does is inspect properties, removing breeding sites and treating. All mosquitoes lay their eggs in water.

“The Aedes aegypi breed in low grounds so they breed under your deck, in your flower pots, in your kids’ toys that have water in them, in your gutters,” Simons said.

Pool covers and tarps can also hold water, creating a breeding ground.

“It takes seven days to breed so if you get rid of that water, you’re not creating a breeding ground,” Simons said. “People forget about their bird baths. They forgot about kiddie pools.”

Kroger lunchtime entertainment is unexpected

By Heather Lusk • news@currentinwestfield.com Heavenly notes from a harp float through the aisles of the Carmel Kroger as a Metallica song gives way to “Hotel California” for the music lunch crowd at the store’s Carmel Bistro Cafe.

Harpist Jan Aldridge-Clark and guitarist Casey Harshbarger, who lived in Zionsville as a child, form a duet of stringed music that catches many Kroger customers off guard.

“People are so surprised when they hear the harp played in a funky way,” Aldridge-Clark said.

Harshbarger and Aldridge-Clark met five years ago through an audition. They liked the way the guitar and harp sounded together and began to experiment with different arrangements. Harshbarger influenced her to move into classic rock, which is a substantial portion of what they play to the Kroger lunch crowd, along with more recent artists, like Adele, and other styles, like blues.

Two years ago, the duo was performing a private party at which a Kroger vice president was

attending.

He said, “you guys would be perfect for Kroger,’” Aldridge-Clark said.

When the opportunity came to fruition AldridgeClark was pleasantly surprised.

“No musician imagines playing in a grocery store,” she said.

But regulars come to hear them play each week, and they frequently perform to big crowds.

“We’re riding the wave,” she said. “We’ll just do it as long as they want us to be there. It’s been really great because we get a lot of positive response from people.”

They will play several days each week in May and said they hope to continue through the summer.

Aldridge-Clark earned her masters of education in classical music, and was trained on the piano, but discovered the harp her freshman year and “fell in love with it.” As a harpist, she had the opportunity to travel the world through her work with a cruise line and perform at private parties while living in Los Angeles.

Tortellini Michelangelo Commentary by Adam Aasen, co-owner of Donatello’s Italian Restaurant in Carmel One of our most popular dishes at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant is the Tortellini Michelangelo, which has cheese-filled pasta with a blush-cream sauce. For the sake of simplicity. to modify this dish at home, you can buy tortellini and tomato sauce instead of making them from scratch.

Serves: 1 to 2 people Ingredients: • One cup heavy whipping cream • One third cup finely grated parmesan cheese • 1/4 cup chopped fatty bacon • 1/4 cup sliced button mushrooms • 1/4 cup diced white onions • 1/3 cup smooth tomato sauce • 2 pats butter • 12 pieces of large cheese-filled tortellini Directions: Put on a medium pot of water to boil pasta. Heat a skillet to medium heat and add butter and bacon. The melted butter and bacon grease will coat the pan, but don’t let the butter burn. Otherwise you’ll need to start over. Add onions and mushrooms, and let them sizzle in the pan until they are cooked but not wilted. You don’t want crunchy onions in your dish. Add heavy whipping cream and stir. Use a whisk to help thicken the cream using a heat reduction. Add finely grated Parmesan, and stir as you add the cheese to thicken the sauce.

Don’t turn up the heat too high, or you’ll scorch the cream and add an unwelcome flavor. Once reduced, add the tomato sauce and stir, stir, stir. You want everything to mix together instead of separating or forming globs. You want an orange tint. You can add more or less, based on your preference, but too much tomato sauce will make for a watery thin sauce. While making the sauce, you’ll be cooking the tortellini in boiling water. Follow the time it says on the package if you bought pre-made tortellini, but generally, it should be three to five minutes.

Add the fresh-cooked tortellini to the sauce while it’s still hot, and it will absorb some of the sauce before you scoop it into a bowl. Once you’ve had success making this dish, you can try your hand at adding homemade pasta to the recipe.

Singer-songwriter Todd Carter took one look at The Warehouse and figured it was the perfect place for a homecoming. music “When I saw that space, I said, ‘This looks like an amazing place to have a concert,’” the 1987 Carmel High School graduate said. “Then I saw some of the people who have been coming through playing there. I expect it to be a really nice crowd.”

Carter and his New York City-based band, The Looking, will appear at 7 p.m. May 21 at The Warehouse, 254 First Ave. S.W., Carmel.

“A lot of people from (Indiana) have never seen me perform,” Carter said. “I’ve been in Chicago and around the East Coast, but I haven’t played in Carmel for a long time. I don’t think (I have) played there since college.”

The band recently released its fourth album, “Lead Me to The Water.” Carter describes the band’s music as a folk-pop combination.

“We’ll deliver at least 90 minutes of tunes, a couple of different sets,” said Carter, whose band is touring the Midwest in support of the album. “The Looking is my project, and I bring in people as I see fit.”

Carter, 47, was a member of the CHS 1986 Class 5A state championship football team.

His band, Bluko Chip Tones, won the CHS Battle of the Bands in 1987. Carter said he began writing songs as a teenager.

“I’ve always played in bands where we are writing our own material,” he said. “That was the main focus of each of the bands. It’s been a folk-rock focus most of the time.”

His parents, Meredith and Nellie Carter, still live in Carmel. Meredith served 32 years on the Hamilton Co. Council before retiring in 2014.

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor space created for sun and shade Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create versatile outdoor living spaces, both covered and uncovered, for the homeowners to enjoy throughout the seasons.

1. A new, screened porch was added to the home, including matching brick border to tie into the existing home.

2. From there, the homeowners can step into their backyard onto their new concrete patio that connects to the front of the house. The brick border inlay around the concrete ties into the façade of the existing home.

3. A stone, wood-burning fireplace was included in the covered porch design, making a cozy place to relax after work.

4. A large built-in grill peninsula on the patio is a usable new feature, allowing the new space to be transformed into a great entertainment area.

Before Background info: This 2010-built home in the Long Ridge Estates subdivision in Westfield needed an outdoor space the homeowners could enjoy: Both in the sun and in the shade.

Before problems: The existing backyard received harsh sun in the afternoon hours and had only a small crowded deck, making it unpleasant for the homeowners to enjoy the outdoors at their own home. With no covered structure, they were also confined to the indoors during any type of rain.

5 tips to a successful garden Commentary by Noah Herron Gardening can be tougher than most people imagine. The secret to a productive garden is taking the time now to plan seasonal your strategies with the garden. Below are five tips to help you get the most out of your garden space.

1. Build up your soil – One of the most important factors in keeping your plants healthy and producing an abundant harvest is good soil. Each year, you should be adding compost and fertilizer to your existing garden to help replace nutrients lost the year before. Tilling the compost into the soil will help create a deep, rich soil that encourages healthy growth and good root formation.

2. Keep critters out – An inexperienced gardener will find out fast that rabbits, chipmunks and other critters love a garden, too!

If possible, a garden should have a perimeter fence made from chicken wire or other material. If a fence is not possible, use blood meal, garlic or urine to keep critters out.

3. Spacing matters – Knowing the correct spacing will help you maximize your yields, and it also cuts back on weeding and garden

maintenance. Finding a handy spacing chart will show you the distances to plant per row, row spacing and expected yields.

4. Preventative disease and insect control – Each year, people come into the garden center and ask me what is wrong with their plants. By the time they come in, it’s usually too late. Find a good OMRI-certified spray to help prevent problems before they occur. A weekly spraying to help control disease and insects is better than waiting for a problem to occur!

5. Succession planting – Lastly, get the most out of the growing season. Most people are “one and done” when it comes to planting the garden. We have a long enough season that the same garden space can be used several times for different crops. In early spring, when frost is still present, grow cool-season crops. Then, move onto warm-season crops.

In the fall, when warm-season crops are done, replace again with another batch of coolseason crops.

Road to Nazareth, through Israel’s Arbel Pass (Photo by Don Knebel)

The history of Arbel Pass Commentary by Don Knebel Millions of years ago, shifting tectonic plates formed Israel’s Jordan River Valley and sheared a rocky plateau just travel west of the Sea of Galilee, creating two small mountains with steep cliffs and a narrow pass between them.

This area played a role in both Jewish and Christian history.

For thousands of years, people have created dwellings in the caves on the cliff face of Mount Arbel, the southeastern of the two mountains separated by the Arbel Pass. In approximately 40 B.C., residents around the Sea of Galilee rebelled against the Roman appointment of Herod as their king. When armed rebels took refuge in the caves above the Arbel Pass, Roman troops were unable to dislodge them from below. Using ropes, they lowered troops in baskets from the flat top of Mount Arbel. The soldiers entered the caves and either threw the occupants to their deaths or set fire to the dwellings, incinerating everyone inside. Some rebels and their families jumped

to their deaths to deprive the Romans of the pleasure of killing them. The rebellion failed.

Seventy years later, when Jesus was rejected as a prophet in his home town of Nazareth, he traveled to an area on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee to establish his ministry. The road from Nazareth to Galilee went through the Arbel Pass and ended at a nearby village named Magdala, where residents raised doves for Temple sacrifices in Jerusalem. Magdala was the home of Mary Magdalene, an early follower of Jesus, falsely labeled a prostitute in the sixth century. It is possible to imagine that Jesus and Mary walked through the Arbel Pass, where an ancient well still stands aside the narrow road from Nazareth.

Many places in Israel claim to allow people to “walk in the footsteps of Jesus.� The Arbel Pass really does.

Shelling hard boiled eggs – When hard-boiling eggs, try adding a teaspoon of baking soda to the cooking water. Cook as usual and let cool. When you peel them, the shells should come off easily.

Untangle a necklace – If your favorite necklace has a stubborn knot in the chain, try this. Put the knotted chain on a piece of waxed paper. Sprinkle some talcum powder on the tangle. The powder gently lubricates the stubborn knot. Then, with a needle or straight pin in each hand, work at releasing the tangle.

Home made spray starch – You can make your own spray starch at home. For a light starch, combine one tablespoon of cornstarch with two cups of cold water. For a heavier starch, use three tablespoons of cornstarch in the same amount of cold water. Mix well, making sure that the cornstarch is completely dissolved, then transfer the mixture to a fine mist spray bottle. Then spray the garment and iron immediately.
