City pays $625,000 to terminate NinjaZone Academy lease

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Effective June 30, or possibly sooner, NinjaZone Academy will no longer operate in Grand Park Events Center. The GRAND PARK City of Westfield and NinjaZone Academy recently reached an agreement to terminate the lease.

NinjaZone Academy offers obstacle training, gymnastics, martial arts and freestyle movement instruction.

During the lease, the city utilized NinjaZone Academy’s space during certain times throughout the year, which temporarily displaced NinjaZone Academy. A confidential settlement and release sent to Current between the Westfield Redevelopment Commission and NinjaZone Academy stated that a dispute arose between the parties about the value of the leased spaced during the time the city wanted to use it. A resolution was forged when the city paid NinjaZone Academy a $625,000 settlement in two installments, each worth $312,500. The first installment was due on or before April 20.

The second is due within 20 days of NinjaZone Academy vacating the space.

The settlement was for the purchase of improvements to the leased space and the remaining amount was a buyout of the lease.

The settlement requires NinjaZone Academy to vacate by June 30.

“The City of Westfield and NinjaZone have mutually agreed to separate from a lease agreement at the Grand Park Events Center,” City of Westfield Communications Director Vicki Duncan Gardner stated. “After thorough conversations, both organizations found the separation in the best interest of all parties.

We wish NinjaZone well and hope the business finds success in a new location. Fortunately, there is demand from businesses to be at Grand Park and we are working to identify the best partner to move into the Grand Park Events Center.”

Also in the settlement, the city agreed not to use the leased space for a purpose which directly competes with NinjaZone, such as a business offering programs or classes attempting to replace, replicate, copy or mimic

NinjaZone and its offerings. The city also allowed NinjaZone to place a poster-sized sign at the Grand Park Events Center which states the organization is moving.

When asked for comment, NinjaZone president Casey Wright directed all questions to her attorney. The organization then released the following statement: “NinjaZone and the City of Westfield have mutually agreed to separate from a lease agreement at the Grand Park Events Center.

After thorough conversations, both organizations found the separation in the best interest of all parties. We wish the City of Westfield well and hope they have success with future endeavors.”

NinjaZone Academy announced a merger with Wright’s Fundamentals Gymnastics North on May 3. The partnership will combine gymnastics and NinjaZone programs offered at each current location and will be housed in a new multi-sport center in Westfield. An exact facility address was not released, but it is anticipated to open in 2020.

Until then, classes for Wright’s Fundamentals Gymnastics North and NinjaZone Academy will be held at the Wright’s North facility, 1021 Kendall Ct., Westfield.

WWPL Summer Reading Program is for all ages

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

The Westfield Washington Public Library’s Summer Reading Program isn’t just kids’ stuff.

“We want to emTHINGS TO DO phasize the summer reading program is for everyone from birth to adult,” said Allison Knuttel, the library’s public relations and marketing manager. “It’s meant to be for fun, but it also has advantages for children Knuttel in terms of increasing their reading level

confidence and they are less likely to experience reading level losses over the summer. It’s to encourage adults to read as well. All of us have such busy lives. We don’t read as often as we would like to. This way, you set a goal for yourself and it’s a fun way to push yourself.”

The free program, called “A Universe of Stories,” starts June 1 and ends July 31. There will be a special prize drawing celebration at 1 p.m. Aug. 1.

There will be a variety of special programs centered on the theme of space at the library this summer.

Knuttel said participants can receive prizes for signing up, reading books, listening to audiobooks, reading aloud to

others, being read to and attending library programs.

Anyone who completes the program is eligible for the grand-prize drawing. The prize is a Gskyer 70mm Astronomical Refractor Telescope, a stargazing guide book and a $100 Amazon gift card. The grand prize is sponsored by the Friends of the Westfield Library.

“Who doesn’t love earning prizes for doing something fun?” Knuttel said. “We have a lot of community sponsors to thank because we couldn’t do it without their help. Their names will be listed on the website and at the library.”

Participants can sign up in person or online at wwpl.lib. in.us starting June 1.

Janus celebrates four decades of service in Hamilton County

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

Last month, Janus Developmental Services celebrated its 40th birthday.

Established April 4, 1979 NONPROFIT as Janus Developmental Services, Inc., the organization has long been a resource for families looking to improve quality of life for family members with developmental disabilities.

“Essentially, Janus was started by parents that Sorenson lived in Tipton County and Hamilton County,” said Chris Sorensen, president and CEO of Janus Developmental Services. “At that time, historically, most people with disabilities would be sent to institutions, but these parents didn’t want that for their kids. They wanted some place for their kids to go so that they could do something meaningful. Actually, if you go around the state, there are agencies like Janus providing similar types of services, and almost all of those were started by parents as an alternative. We’ve gone through the years providing various types of services and programs.”

PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY Sorensen said a major part of Janus’ mission is aimed at providing career opportunities to clients. The organization has long been known for its sheltered workshop program, where clients work on-site at Janus’ Ind. 32 facility for companies to earn a wage. For example, Carmel-based candle company Linnea’s Lights has all of its jars assembled with candlewicks at the Noblesville workshop.

“We find that the clients who participate in the workshop and their families are really happy because they have a chance to earn income,” Sorensen said. “There are some other options, too, for earning income within Janus.”

Janus also pursues employment opportunities for its clients in surrounding communities, working one-on-one with individuals to find jobs.

In addition, Janus’ Doorways Program lets clients pursue their personal interests, such as fitness, cooking, gardening, community services and community outings.

A NEW LITERACY PROGRAM Last year, Janus started a literacy program at its facility, something Sorensen said has changed her perception on the

depth of the Janus programming.

“I was told when I first started here that almost everybody has in their plan (that they want to) learn to read, but then I was told that it just seemed silly because if everybody’s gone through the school system and they haven’t learned to read by this point in time, they never will,” she said.

“There was the feeling that (a reading program) wouldn’t be a good choice, and nobody understood why it was in their plans.”

That assumption changed in 2018 when Janus employees visited another organization with a literacy program.

“We just wanted to see what it was like and what it involved,” Sorensen said. “They were having great success with it, and they showed us that they had this reading software program that would allow them to customize books for each of the people that were participating.”

GROWTH “Over the past five years, we’ve been averaging a growth rate of people that we’re serving at our facility by 10 percent every year,” Sorensen said.

Janus provides services to 137 individuals on-site at its facility on Ind. 32. Janus also provides assistance in the community in one-on-one services, including community employment, respite and personal assistance and care to 70 individuals.

In September 2016, Janus announced the purchase of the 19.2-acre Noblesville Golf & Batting Center, 17400 Willowview Rd., adjacent to the 11-acre Janus facility. The project’s scale, timeline and funding have not been finalized.

Making it in

MOTORSPORTS

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Jack William Miller only has an automotive learner’s permit.

But he’s already up to speed in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Series, where he races at speeds COVER STORY up to 130 mph.

The Cooper Tires series is the first in a three-step program, the Road to Indy, for young drivers bidding to transition from karting to IndyCars.

Jack William is following in his father’s footsteps. Jack William’s father is Dr. Jack Miller, who raced in the IndyCar series from 1997 to 2001. He now is a dentist in Westfield.

Jack William’s first race in the USF2000 series was March 8-11 in St. Petersburg, Fla. The introduction was less than smooth.

“Our first race at St. Petersburg wasn’t good,” Jack Miller said. “It had nothing to do with Jack’s driving. We got hit a couple times, we had a couple mechanical failures. It wasn’t the result we wanted but we didn’t leave there discouraged we weren’t fast.

“We left there saying our luck needed to change.”

Jack William’s next race is May 24-26 at the Lucas Oil Oval.

After the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Series, the next step on the Road To Indy is the Indy Pro 2000 Championship, followed by IndyLights.

“Our goal, and the way we’ve been structuring it, will be if we are successful this year, we will go to (Indy Pro) next year and then the following year move to (Indy Lights) and then IndyCar,” Jack Miller said.

Jack William, 15, started racing go-karts when he was only 3 years old. He is balancing high school and racing, which is tricky. He is a freshman at Park Tudor.

“I miss a lot of school,” Jack William said. “(Teachers) give me my work to do, and I turn it in on the weekend or get back and

they give me the same amount of days I missed to make up or do my work.”

On average, Jack William misses 30 to 35 days of school a year. But his dad owns a six-passenger airplane, which cuts travel time and therefore reduces the days Jack William misses school.

“Since we live in Westfield, we went and met with the administrators of Westfield High School, and since they get federally funded money, there’s only so many days you can miss,” Jack Miller said. “I hear very good things about Westfield schools, but we have a great experience at Park Tudor, and they understand there’s a lot of athletes, so they have been very accommodating for us to miss.”

Jack William said he hopes to race in IndyCar by the time he’s 19 or 20 years old. He plans to make motorsports a career.

“I just like the competition and then the adrenaline and the speed of just trying my hardest to pull the best out of myself and the car,” Jack William said.

Navigating his career path is expensive, though. It costs approximately $350,000 to run the USF2000 season.

“I’m glad it is as expensive as it is because it weeds a lot of people that just want to play,” Jack Miller said. “We want serious racers out there. We want people going for the same goal of running in the Indy 500. It weeds out a lot of people as you go up.”

THE ROAD TO INDY CARS AND COSTS “We own our own team. We are not Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship cars are doing it for a living like a lot of teams powered by Mazda engines and run on Cooper do. We own everything,” Jack said.

Typically, there is one mechanic and one “Starting out with the semi-truck and engineer per car, which reach top speeds aptrailer, all equipment and everything, proaching 130 mph. was well into $1 million just to have For Indy Pro 2000, it costs approximately the base set up to start running a $700,000 to run the series. Cars reach speeds up team.” to 160 mph.

The top of the ladder before IndyCar is the IndyLights Presented by Cooper Tires. Cars race at more than 200 mph. Cost to run the season is approximately $1.4 million.

Dr. Jack Miller owns his own team, Miller Vinatieri Motorsports, which he co-owns with Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Jack William Miller races in the Coop er Tires USF2000 Championship Series.

ESSAY

LETTER Prayer breakfast a success

Changing course Commentary by Terry Anker From our earliest memories, we are encouraged to stick it out.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Even the tagline from the 1999 science fiction spoof “Galaxy Quest” admonished us to “Never give up. Never surrender!”

It makes sense. Unless we push our limits, we are unlikely to come to understand what those bounds may be. Sadly, most of us operate far below our capacity, comfortable ensconced in false, lowered perceptions about what we’d be able to accomplish if we’d just put our minds to it. Is it easier to quit than do the work? Probably.

Still, are there times when we are well-advised to wave the white flag? Have we arrived at the point of over-promise and under-deliver?

Certainly, we don’t know if we will fail at a task until, well, we fail at it.

And by then, the harm to ourselves and others is caused. Does this put us under some moral duty to fight to the death even if our good intentions have led us to charge into a battle that we don’t have the desire to undertake?

Happily, circumstance can change with the winds of our will.

Dedication often trumps inherent skill. The tortoise only beat the rabbit because of a willingness to take on the race. But, can there be honor in calling it quits? When can we justly declare victory – or failure – and move on?

Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky famously remarked, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.” Naturally, he is correct. Yet somehow, we can suspect that his success, in part, is measured by the shots that he did not take. No doubt, don’t be a quitter. But also, know when it is time to make a change. Isn’t intellect a far better master than ego?

Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Going out a winner Commentary by Danielle Wilson People have been asking, so I thought I’d let everyone know. I did end up beating my husband Doo in a triathlon a few weeks back (despite my inane deciHUMOR sion to buy him an exceptionally fast bike). But only by 9 seconds.

That’s why I am officially announcing my retirement from any kind of race where Doo also is competing. Never again will I risk the chance of a humiliating defeat. My ego can’t take it and Doo is getting too good.

And it’s not just the bike. He’s always been a better biker. He may have passed me a bit sooner than expected, but I am used to having to catch him on the run. And here in lies the problem. Five years ago, Doo almost stroked out during the 5K leg. He walked a good portion of it and required a concerning amount of Gatorade and sitting to recover (I destroyed him in that race, by the way, even

though I was suffering from a stomach virus that included vomiting and a low-grade fever. Super fun!).

From that day on, Doo has vowed to get in better shape and to one day cross the finish line before me. To that end, he has since completed two full marathons and a countless number of half-marathons. He has transformed himself into an athlete by sheer force of will. And his 8-inch height advantage effectively eliminates my willingness to die before letting him win.

I have no doubt Doo will emerge victorious next time, which is why I have decided there won’t be a “next time.” I mean, 9 seconds?

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”

-Benjamin Franklin

Editor, We want to thank the many members of Westfield and surrounding communities who attended and participated in the Westfield Community Prayer Breakfast on May 2. Kyle Miller, coordinator of Social and Emotional Learning for Westfield Schools, shared a message about the struggles students face, plus the hope they receive when a community undergirds them emotionally and socially. Studies show that when just five people actively engage a student over a course of time, it prevents the student from hitting rock bottom, helps them better prepare for the future and connect with society around them.

Area prayer leaders led short segments of prayer for administrators, students, faculty and Westfield-area families. One administrator shared afterward, “I will walk on a high for days to come.”

Ruth and I invite you to next year’s prayer breakfast, May 7, 2020. We hope you will join us.

Rob and Ruth Griepentrog, Westfield

Studies show that when just five people actively engage a student over a course of time, it prevents the student from hitting rock bottom.

READERS’ VIEWS Fighting for education Editor, Every two years, the Indiana General Assembly has the arduous but critical task of crafting a state budget and deciding how much money gets invested in K-12 education. We at the Indiana School Boards Association are at the forefront of the fight to get our schools the strongest level of funding possible to support more than 1 million Hoosier public school students.

Funding for the K-12 education system in Indiana represents 50 percent of state government’s budget of $34 billion. The new budget appropriates a total of $763 million in new money for K-12 public education in the next biennium.

The ISBA joined with other K-12 education associations to stand with government leaders, including Gov. Eric Holcomb, Speaker of the House Brian Bosma and Senate President Pro Tempore Rod Bray, to announce the funding increases totaling 4.5

percent annually.

At the beginning of the 2019 legislative session, the ISBA announced its legislative priorities, with adequate for public education as its top priority. ISBA’s priorities were addressed in the new state budget, including a 2.5 percent increase tuition support increase, a state school safety grant and increases in funding of English Language Learning programs.

The final K-12 education budget allotment of $14.8 billion represents a historic funding level and the highest percentage increase since the Great Recession and the changes to funding of public education made in 2009.

As always, we are proud and honored to fight for more resources for our more than 1 million Hoosier students and the muchdeserved recognition for our educators.

Terry Spradlin, executive director of the Indiana School Boards Association

For 40 years, I have shared in loading and unloading the dishwasher (I’d rather clean the toilet with my toothbrush HUMOR or clean out the gutters with a teaspoon).

Today, my wife informed me that I’m now forever relieved of dishwasher duty.

“Just scrape the dishes and stack them in the sink,” she said. “You’re terrible at loading and it’s gotten worse by the day. Ever wonder why when you unload the dishes, everything you flung into the machine willynilly has miraculously lined up perfectly in the appropriate slots? Who do you think did that?”

“Well, it takes almost an hour to run a load of dishes and I hear a lot of odd noises, so I assumed a mechanical realignment was one of the cycles.”

“You just toss the dishes in, with no regard for how the process works.”

“Mary Ellen, I load the dishwasher like I load our clothes washer. I don’t put socks in one part of the machine, then my pants in another. Why would I do that with cups and saucers?”

Mary Ellen claims I was getting progressively worse at unloading as well. I dump the entire utensil holder into the silverware drawer. She has this odd notion that knives, spoons and forks go into their own compartments. She wants them separated — even before we set the table.

She also says I’ve been messing up the inside of our fridge. Apparently, again, everything has its proper place, so that’s why the mustard has been moving from the top shelf to the fridge door and why lettuce has often crept south to a thing called the “vegetable bin.” Jars have to go on the third shelf. That’s gotta be wrong, because when I was 6, the pickles always stared me right in the face. Going eye-to-eye with kosher dills goes back to the Old Testament.

I also may have a shot at never doing laundry again, but I won’t get complacent about my lack of accomplishments. There are beds not to be made and rugs not to be vacuumed. I’m very proud of myself. I’m doing the worst I can.

Beware of ‘one-ring’ calls — If it seems you can’t go a day without receiving unwanted phone calls, you’re not alone. Robocalls are worse than ever. Now, the Federal Communications Commission is warning of a new fraud tactic known as the “one-ring” scam. Criminals dial and hang up quickly after the first ring so the recipient doesn’t have time to answer. If the scam goes according to plan, the victim will call back the mysterious number, inadvertently opening up expensive toll charges. Robocalls use the number 222, the nation code of the West African nation Mauritania. Another common strategy is call spoofing, which is when the callers call from a fake number, usually one that shares an area code with the recipient.

WHILE THEY STILL LAST

Commentary by Jill Dodson If you help a loved one who is elderly, ill or disabled, you are a caregiver. Even though the bathing, feeding FAMILY and other assistance you provide is a labor of love, this “job” can take its toll on you. When caring for loved ones, it’s common for caregivers to put their own health and wellness aside, putting them at risk for many other health problems.

Take care of yourself It’s important that you manage your stress and protect your health. Don’t forget the following: • Get enough sleep, eat well and schedule regular health appointments.

• If you work, talk with your boss about designing a work schedule that allows flexibility for your caregiver tasks.

• Set aside time for regular exercise.

• Keep up your hobbies, interests and friendships. If it’s difficult to leave your family member, ask friends to come over for dinner or a movie.

• Join an in-person or online support group.

• Realize that it’s OK to lose your patience sometimes. Vent your feelings to a trusted friend or keep a journal.

• Be aware of the signs of depression, such as crying, loneliness and changes in sleeping or eating habits. Talk to your doctor if you notice signs.

Spread the responsibility You can quickly burn out if you try to do everything yourself. Reach out for help when you can, and consider the following tips: • Develop a schedule that spreads the caregiving or household chores among other family members and friends. For example, ask older children to help feed a disabled or ill relative. This helps you, and it helps children build empathy and a sense of responsibility.

• Take the time to pinpoint those aspects of caregiving that seem the most difficult and demanding. You may find that you could use extra help with shopping, meal preparation, cleaning or driving, for example. Then, look into local programs, such as home care and other services that can help with any or all of these tasks.

Yogurt myths — Yogurt is often marketed as helping digestion because of probiotics — the good bacteria that our guts need for good health. Bacteria affect our metabolism and obesity rates, among other things, so the connection seems logical. This may be true but scientists don’t fully understand

how the millions of bacteria already in our bodies work together. What we do know, though, is that most yogurts are packed with sugar, which contributes to obesity and other problems.

A brief guide to some of the area’s best patio dining options

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com With the arrival of pleasant weather and sunshine, local residents are ready to get outside and explore RESTAURANTS the area’s hottest dining spots. Several new restaurants and a host of familiar ones offer prime outdoor dining for the ultimate patio experience.

Here’s a brief guide to the best outdoor dining options in central Indiana.

CHIBA Address: 228 Park St., Westfield Menu options: Primarily sushi, owner Keith Dusko creates interesting combinations for sushi rolls, such as the Louisiana Purchase roll, which combines tempura chicken, green apples, yams and brie cheese.

Patio takeaways: Relaxing on Chiba’s patio is like visiting an oasis. Ferns and Edison lights are draped overhead, with potted plants dotting the pathways.

An enclosed space in the back offers a slightly more intimate setting and protection from rain. It is an excellent area for private events. Cornhole boards are available near the front of the property with a beachfront view of Park Street for those wanting to play a game while they wait for their food to arrive.

SERENITY Address: 135 S. Main St., Zionsville Menu options: Serenity is a quaint little restaurant nestled on Zionsville’s famous brick street that serves brunch and lunch.

It offers English teas, sandwiches and more options with tasty, refreshing takes such as the Shrimp and Lobster BLT or the Fig and Walnut Salad.

Patio takeaways: Enjoy your English tea surrounded by greenery. Serenity’s patio is bordered by small plants and around a large evergreen tree. Umbrellas add a splash of color against black patio furniture, and the brick patio and climbing ivy evoke feelings of calm and allow you to take a breath of fresh air and relax while you dine.

SUN KING SPIRITS Address: 351 Monon Trail, Carmel Menu options: Sun King Spirits is a good place to visit if you have picky eaters in the family because there are four different restaurants inside the food hall. Pizza, sandwiches, Mexican or pub food are all available under the same roof.

Patio takeaways: Rooftop dining is all the rage right now, and Sun King Spirits features a second-story patio overlooking the Monon Trail. View Carmel from above as you dine outside and take in the city’s new plaza next to Sun King Spirits, which will soon offer games and food trucks. The patio is an excellent spot for people-watching.

FIELD BREWING Address: 303 E. Main St., Westfield Menu options: Field Brewing’s menu is more of a modern take on pub food, such as spiced sweet potato wedges, pan-fried schnitzel, beer-steamed mussels, spentgrain fettuccine and the list goes on. Executive Chef Alan Sternberg uses local and seasoned ingredients to create interesting flavor combinations and wholesome food.

Field Brewing prides itself on clean, quality ingredients in offering a unique dining experience.

Youth to play in ‘Little Mermaid’

Selections from Sonoma

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Commentary by Elizabeth Morse

Jack Clark sees a fun benefit of appearing to be swimming on stage.

“I think skating around on THEATER stage with Heelys will be so much fun, but I’m going to have to practice a lot so I don’t fall off the stage,” Clark said.

The Westfield Intermediate School fifthgrader will portray Flounder in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s production of “The Little Mermaid,” May 23 to June 30.

“My little sisters (ages 5 and 8) sure are excited and I think it will be fun,” Clark said.

“They have been more excited about this show than any other show I’ve been in.”

Clark, 11, caught the acting bug early.

“I started acting when I was 7 years old and have not stopped since,” Clark said. “I got my start in one of my uncle’s (Craig Whitcombe) shows at The Biz (in Avon) and have had many amazing opportunities since then.

Some of my favorites were playing Winthrop in ‘The Music Man’ with the Civic Theatre, Louis in ‘The King and I’ with Brebeuf (Preparatory School) and Christian in ‘Fun Home” with Ball State.”

Clark enjoys performing in front of an

A new season is finally here! How about some new wine suggestions to go with spring? I’ve WINEderlust got a red, white and sparkler for you to kick off warm weather. Give these California dreamers a swirl: (Bubbles) Gloria Ferrer Sonoma County Brut, NV $18ish (I believe you can find this baby at Trader Joe’s for around $15). A gracious sparkler with great taste and a surprisingly low price.

Bright spiced apple with golden pie crust flavors and a smidge of strawberry. Made from a blend of chardonnay and pinot noir grapes, she’s a spirited little sparkler by herself or with food.

Serve with sushi or roasted chicken.

(White) 2018 Gundlach Bundschu Estate Vineyard Gewürztraminer, $25.

GB is one of my favorite wineries to visit in Sonoma. Its historic tasting room, like its wines, is steeped in tradition. Check it out if you find yourself visiting California wine country. This wine smells like fresh peaches and blooming jasmine, heady and fragrant. With 10 percent oak

audience.

Clark has only been in musicals so far.

“I have not been in a play, but if I was ever offered the opportunity, I would accept with much joy,” he said.

Sarah Daniels, who made her Beef & Boards debut as Sandy in “Grease” earlier this year, returns in the title role.

The musical focuses on King Triton’s youngest daughter, Ariel, who wants to leave her ocean home to explore the world above. When she rescues the human Prince Eric, Ariel can’t wait any longer and makes a bargain with Ursula, the sea witch, to trade her tail for legs.

aging it is a subtly round and rich glass with flavors reminiscent of Charentais* melons. Crisp and dry.

(Red) 2017 Benziger Family Winery, Monterey Pinot Noir. OK, so this might be my other favorite Sonoma winery. I was lucky to stay there as a guest many years ago. As a gardener, I loved visiting its vineyard and learning about biodynamic farming. Super-kind folks with a collection of consistently good wines.

This one has the lovely earthiness you’d hope for in pinot noir. It also tastes like strawberries. With a little warm spice in the mouth, this one’s a crowd-pleaser.

Perfect with grilled meats, $20 *Pro tip: Charentais is a French musk melon. Kind of like cantaloupe but better.

Cheers!

Music for Miracles gives back Commentary by Jeff McDermott On April 28, for the sixth consecutive year, the students of Carmel High School’s Dance Marathon program PALLADIUM came to the Palladium to present their Music for Miracles event, a heartwarming and entertaining student talent show to benefit Riley Children’s Foundation.

I was honored again this year when the students invited me to offer welcoming remarks to the attendees, and it struck me how this annual event epitomizes the power of the arts to bring people together and heal bodies and souls. Music for Miracles perfectly blends the missions of the Center for the Performing Arts and CHS Dance Marathon. At the Center, we strive to engage and inspire the central Indiana community through enriching arts experiences. The Dance Marathon students – more than 100, in this case – say they do it all “For the Kids.” This magical evening embodied both missions.

We are fortunate in Carmel to have a school system and a community that value and invest in the arts and arts education. At Music for Miracles, the student performers

took the Palladium stage, one act after another, and wowed the audience of 800. Behind the scenes, other students worked side by side with the Center’s production team to coordinate lights, sound and staging. Adults, teens, artists and stage crew all collaborated.

As is tradition at Music for Miracles, the parent of a “Riley Kid” offered a testimonial.

James Dolan bravely recounted how his son, Jameson, was born with a life-threatening condition, but after months in Riley Hospital for Children’s neonatal unit and multiple surgeries by skilled physicians, he beat the odds and is now a happy and healthy 18-month-old. In fact, young Jameson attended the performance with his family and, as if on cue, let out a little yelp of happiness as his father talked about that journey to health.

It was a miraculous moment, music to the crowd’s ears.

Blueprint for Improvement: Light and bright Carmel kitchen (Part II) Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. Removal of the bulkheads immediately updated the overall feel of the space.

2. Appliances were relocated to allow for new, larger windows and more light.

3. The island was extended to provide additional storage, seating and prep space.

4. Decorative legs on the island give the impression of a table or piece of furniture.

5. Cabinetry in two finishes is a popular choice with today’s homeowners and lends visual interest to the kitchen.

6. Quartz countertops, a custom range hood, cabinets with wave-patterned glass inserts and a textured tile backsplash complete the stunning updates to this kitchen.

Next month we’ll share pictures of this home’s new pool pavilion, fire pit and outdoor kitchen!

To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: This home was built in 2004 in Carmel’s Valleybrook neighborhood. The owners fell in love with the location and layout of the home and knew they could make cosmetic updates to suit their style.

THE CHALLENGE The homeowners wanted to update several areas, so the projects were planned in phases. Once the interior was complete (including master bath, kitchen, two bathrooms and basement), the homeowners moved in and the exterior phase began.

Untangling intransitive verbs Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I ran into my friend Lou at the farmers market on Saturday, and she looked troubled. This wasn’t beGRAMMAR GUY cause the sweet corn wasn’t in season yet, but because it’s graduation season and she had a very good reason to be bothered.

She immediately asked, “People don’t graduate college; they graduate from college … right?” I really can’t tell you how happy I am that people find me at the farmers market to ask me grammar questions.

And, I’ll go ahead and leave you with this cliffhanger: We’ll tackle why farmers market needs no apostrophe next week.

You would never say “I sat floor” or “He arrived Oklahoma,” would you? “I graduated” on its own is a complete sentence. So is “I sat” or “He arrived.”

The key here is that “graduated” in the sentence “I graduated from college” operates as an intransitive verb, which doesn’t allow or take a direct object. Here’s an example of a transitive verb sentence: Byron launched the cat into orbit. Here, “launched” is a transitive verb. Not only is it an active verb, but it also allows for at least one di-

rect object (in this instance, only one). The direct object here (cat) receives the action (launched) from the subject (Byron).

So, now let’s look at why “I graduated college” doesn’t work. For the sentence to pass muster, “college” would need to be a direct object. That would mean the direct object (college) receives the action (graduated) from the subject (I). This just doesn’t make sense.

Now, let’s look at why “I graduated from college” does work. Here, “graduated” functions as an intransitive verb; it doesn’t take a direct object. Fellow word nerds already recognize “from college” as a prepositional phrase in which “from” is the preposition and “college” is the prepositional object.

If you find yourself at a graduation open house this weekend, make sure the grad doesn’t say “I graduated high school.” If you do, let the money inside the graduation card slip out into your pocket and demand that he enroll in summer school.

Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge, near Queenstown, New Zealand. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Chad Pete

Bungee jumping has become popular all around the world, but it started when a New Zealander emulated a dangerTRAVEL ous South Sea rite of passage.

For untold generations, young men on Pentecost Island have jumped from tall wooden towers with one end of a vine tied to their ankles and the other end to the tower. The vines are sized so that the jumper’s fall is instantly stopped just as he hits the ground. Those surviving the ordeal are welcomed into the society as “men.”

In the mid-1980s, A.J. Hackett decided to duplicate this so-called “land diving” experience with a less abrupt finale. He created a super-elastic cord (called “bungy” in New Zealand) and began jumping off New Zealand bridges. Finding the experience exhilarating and seeing its commercial potential, he jumped off the Eiffel Tower in 1987, landing him in jail and creating international interest.

In 1988, he opened the world’s first commercial bungy jumping site on the Kawarau

Gorge Suspension Bridge, 141 feet above the Kawarau River near Queenstown, New Zealand. The idea took off and adventure seekers from around the world began coming to New Zealand to literally jump off a bridge.

Today, many bungee jumping sites around the world are taller than the Kawarau Gorge site, but thousands of people each year come to where it all began.

Paying about $150 per jump, jumpers choose whether to have the cord sized to allow them to touch the water or to stop just above the water. Most begin the four-second or so free fall with their arms extended as if in flight, with first-time jumpers often screaming as they approach the river head first at 50 mph. When the jump is finished, the jumper is pulled from the air and hauled ashore on a small rubber boat.

Because the technology is so new, doctors are only using it for patients who could benefit the most, such as women with extremely dense breast tissue. But in time, some doctors believe tomosynthesis could replace the mammogram as it becomes more available.

•Packaging, serving and selling worldclass gourmet chocolates The future of breast imaging has arrived at St.Vincent Carmel Women’s Center, as doctors are now able to use a new technology that has a better rate of detecting early breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue than mammography.

Tomosynthesis, like a CT scan, takes images from multiple angles and uses computer processing to create a 3D image that a radiologist can use to look at a breast from various angles.

BUILDING OUR CO MMUNITY

“Instead of having one view, you have a series of slices,� says Dr. Janalyn Ferguson, a radiologist at St.Vincent. “It’s kind of like you’re looking at a breast like slices of bread.�

Recent studies have shown that tomosynthesis can increase the cancer detection rate by about 20 to 25 percent.

It also decreases the likelihood that patients will be called back for additional imaging, as the limited number of views provided by mammograms can cause normal overlapping tissue to appear cancerous.

With tomosynthesis, doctors can look at about 50 images per breast instead of just a few. It may take a little longer for patients to get results, but physicians believe the many benefits are worth the wait.
