By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com With one month left to fundraise, Open Doors, a food and clothing assistance organization, has 104 percent of its capital camphilanthropy paign, or $322,400, raised.

“That was truly exciting with the timeframe we had,” Treasurer Jerry Rosenberger said. “We are still keeping the capital campaign open (through) June 30. Any additional money that comes in provides opportunities for us to invest some of it in our Legacy Fund.”

Open Doors set a goal of $310,000 for the 5,000-square-foot facility to be built near Monon Trail Elementary School, 19400 Tomlinson Rd. Since Oct. 10, Open Doors has exceeded the goal.

Now, Rosenberger said the board of directors is working with the city to receive all proper approvals before construction begins in August or September.

He expects all approvals will be given by mid-July.

3D View

Open Doors exceeds capital campaign Local contractors have agreed to work with Open Doors to complete the interior services of the new building, such as electrical, plumbing and ventilation for free.

Once complete, Rosenberger said the near-school location is ideal.

“We are certainly going to work with the principal REVIEW of (Monon Trail Elementary School) … There are so ONLY many high school kids helping us out with all of our projects and sorting everything,” he said. “There are A-203 three schools now that do food drives for us. Being close to the school there, I think we will want to be planning some things special for that school for the kids to go through (the food pantry) and understand what it’s all about. That will be a good partnership.”

The new Open Doors facility is expected to open in March or April 2017.

Kids raise funds for playhouse

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Oak Trace Elementary School staff and students recently combined efforts to raise money for the Mrs. Zabst’s philanthropy Friendship Cottage to be built in the kindergarten playground in honor of Karen Zabst, an OTES teacher battling pancreatic cancer.

T-shirts, bookmarks and wristbands were sold. During the third-grade business chapter, students created lemonade stands and root-beer floats to sell to fellow students and parents. The proceeds from the annual Jar Wars – a competition where all grades donate spare change – went to the playhouse’s construction.

Zabst has been an OTES teacher for 16 years and is currently on medical leave from the school.

“Mrs. Zabst loves gardening and the outdoors, and they wanted to honor her with the playhouse,” PTO President Jena Collinsworth

said. “Plus it helps with playtime, which she is big on, too.”

On May 24, more than 125 kids, along with various staff, attended the official opening of the kindergarten playhouse. The children had been students of Zabst or were currently in her class. Gorman and Bunch Orthodontics and Gigi’s Cupcakes provided snacks for the children.

“We’re out here today to dedicate this playhouse to Mrs. Zabst, one of the best teachers I’ve ever worked with,” Principal Robin Lynch said. “She’s always wanted to make sure when kindergarteners came to this school, they had a chance to play. Sometimes we get caught up in test scores, but even as adults, it is important to play.”

Zabst watched from the parking lot, where she was too weak to leave her car.

“This is something that boys and girls for years can come play in,” Lynch said.

Students and staff raised $5,500 for the playhouse.

Summer reading program launches

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Washington Public Library summer reading program launched last week, and with the bicentennial, library there are a few new activities.

“On Your Mark, Get Set, …

Read!” has multiple age levels – preschool, school age, extreme school age, teen and adult. Different requirements are needed for each age group.

Brittany Bush, teen librarian, said the program can be great for kids on break from school.

Bush “They can attend fun programs and earn incentive prizes just for reading. That’s something to do over the summer,” she said. “It can help with that summer slump between the end of the school year and the beginning of next year and keep their minds active.”

Children count time spent reading to apply for prizes, while teens and adults count books read.

A list of sponsors detailing where the prizes came from is available on the library website.

“We don’t require they have a library card, and we will be participating in a county-wide program, an extra thing along with the bicentennial,” Bush said. “It is a thing where they can visit the local historical places in Hamilton County. We are partnering with other libraries in the county to do something to celebrate the bicentennial.”

Participating libraries include WWPL, Carmel Clay Public Library, Hamilton East Public Library, Hamilton North Public Library and Sheridan Public Library. A list of locations to visit will be at each library. Stamps are collected for each place visited over the summer, and a prize is given for visiting all. All ages can participate.

“It’s an opportunity to get to know not just Westfield and what’s special about it, but other communities as well,” Bush said.

The summer reading program ends July 31.

To sign up or learn more, visit wwpl.lib.in.us/ summer-reading-program/.

Area code changes – Due to a shortage in 317 area code phone numbers, a new 463 area code will be assigned to new phone numbers in the Indianapolis metropolitan area beginning Oct. 17. Current 317 numbers will not change, but a 10-digit dial will be required to make local phone calls starting Sept. 17.

Westfield Parks and Recreation puts bicentennial show on stage

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In honor of Indiana’s bicentennial, Westfield Parks and Recreation is stepping out of its comfort zone. cover story For the first time, it will be hosting an outdoor musical, “Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd.”

“It’s a brand-new event for us. We’ve never done an outdoor musical before,” Community Events Manager Kelley Wells said. “This is something Melody Jones (Westfield Parks and Recreation Dept. director) and John Sampson (president of Main Street Productions at the Westfield Playhouse) have been talkSampson ing about doing for a couple years, so they are excited to see it come to fruition this year for the bicentennial year.”

“Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd” is loosely based on the true story of the Rhodes family, which escaped slavery via the Underground Railroad.

The family eventually settled in Westfield. A sign noting the family’s history is at Asa Bales Park.

“We are hoping this will be a big success this year, and we can continue to do it in the coming years especially in preparation for Grand Junction opening since we will have a large amphitheater out there,” Wells said.

Bennett Ayres, an Indianapolis playwright, wrote the musical. He had instrucAyres tions from Sampson and Cheryl Fesmire, director of the musical, to tie in Westfield’s Underground Railroad history, but the pair left the rest up to him. Ayres wrote about the fictional Reed family escaping slavery in Fesmire Kentucky and settling in Westfield. The musical follows the Reeds and

those they meet along the way.

“I’m very excited. I was speaking with John (Sampson) about how it’s so cool because it’s a totally self-contained, local production,” Ayres said. “Everyone working on it or in it is either from Westfield or has a connection with Westfield.”

Westfield Playhouse is providing the actors, and the musical will be at 7:30 p.m. June 17 and 18 and at 5 p.m. June 19 at Asa Bales Park, 205 W. Hoover St. “This is a way to showcase Westfield’s rich history and celebrate the state’s bicentennial, because Westfield played a key role in the state’s history,” City of Westfield Communications Director Erin Murphy said.

Although all ages are welcome, the musical

contains some adult language.

The stage will be rented from the Noblesville Parks and Recreation Dept. and general admission seating will be spread across the lawn of Asa Bales. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets. Premium tickets include tables for six placed near the stage. Parking will be at the Westfield High School southeast lot.

“We are excited to have this event to showcase what the city can do, and it’s another reason people should look at enjoywestfieldevents.com, because as the city grows, the events grow as well,” Murphy said.

Premium tickets are $50. General admission tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for students and

$5 for ages 5 to 12. Children age 4 and under are free. Vendors include Blackhawk Winery and Kona Ice. A different food truck will be present each night.

For more, visit enjoywestfieldevents.com/ gourd.

Take Dad to the musical The last showing of “Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd” will be Father’s Day, June 19. “We will be honoring dads in some form and are exciting to find a way to do that, but we are still looking into it,” City of Westfield Communications Director Erin Murphy said. “It’s a family event so we encourage the families to come.”

Thank goodness for summer

FR O M T HE b a ck s h o p

Road workers deserve better Several times a week, we audibly laugh at some of the news releases that sail across the transom here. And what is really incredible is that many come from government agencies about things (a) you already should know about, (b) at which you would roll your eyes, or (c) both. Last week, we received one from INDOT about drivers’ responsibilities in construction zones. We read the list, but we didn’t laugh. It made us think mostly about the commonsensical items presented in the missive that never should have had to be listed. But we, in general, comprise a people that seems to not care much about the details. As long as we’re able to drive between the orange barrels with our knees while cradling cell phones on our shoulders in an effort to keep hands free to open Vitamin Water, it’s all good. It also brought to mind a recent weekday afternoon, when one of us was returning from an engagement at IUPUI, and, there was a construction zone. One of the workers was wildly flailing his arms in an attempt to get motorists to slow their speeds. Sadly, it didn’t work. Over in Illinois, where there are construction zones, so, too, are there signs that read, “My mommy works here.” Some might ask, “Aw, isn’t that cute?” They would be wrong and missing the larger message. The highway workers are there because they’re making improvements to make your motoring life better, and they deserve the same courtesies as pedestrians. Fear not, you’ll get to your destination in one piece. It’s everyone’s business to make sure the workers do, too.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Sunk costs and lost causes Commentary by Terry Anker It seems that along with age is delivered a diminished interest in fighting the uphill battle to stay personally up-to-date. Where once we coveted each and every new style, color and cut, we now, if the suit still fits and well-serves its intended purpose, find an off-trend width of lapel or shade of blue as insufficient to compel replacement. Have we all become collectively less stylish? Do we care not about our presentation, or are we stuck in some past decade, comfortable with the standards of that now expired era?

But if the sofa/curtain/countertop/suit/ whatever is still in good working order, why would we feel a need to replace it? Once we made the decision to acquire the stylish dusty-rose toaster oven, does it make sense to buy another simply because it is skinned in stainless steel? Basic economics teaches us that our sunk cost is only recovered via use. We pay $100 for shoes to walk 100 miles. We then only walk 10 miles. We could

argue we have $90 left in them. Unless sold to someone else for $90 (or more), we’ve forfeited the remainder of the worth. Once purchased, the kicks should be used until consumed. Even so, how do we discount for style and convenience? Is there a case where the first 10 miles is worth $100 and the rest nothing?

Some people buy a new house every few years. They want new style, new appliances and new landscaping. Likewise, clothes, worn-once, find a new home through charity (or worse, the landfill). And, leftovers don’t have a home in the freezer but, instead, the garbage. Should we live in a world where sunk costs are a lost cause? If so, how can we hope to measure the right time for the exchange? Maybe it’s time to go shopping.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.

– Nelson Mandela

Summer could not have come soon enough here at Chez Wilson. The last week of May in particular was a humor striking testament to how the stress of the school year can wreak havoc.

Yesterday, for example, I showed up at work with a hole in my pants, directly over my right buttock. Luckily I had a sweater, and I was able to make it through without incident, though I felt stupid walking around in a warm building with extra clothing tied around my waste. What am I? A middleschooler surprised by Aunt Flo? At lunch, I received a text from my husband telling me that the high school had just called: our oldest was in the midst of missing a final. Remember those college nightmares where your alarm fails and you wake up two hours into your psychology exam? It was happening! He made it with time to complete the test and claims he just got his schedule mixed up, but I know part of the problem is the craziness at our house.

To wit, my youngest threw a veritable conniption fit last night because we couldn’t find her math book. After searching high and low, all I could come up with was a PRE bible from 2007. “I feel like I’ve seen it recently … but where?” I’m sure it’s under a bed or in a closet, but it could also be fetching a fine price at Goodwill. The real issue is that we have yet to recover from our kitchen remodel when, in preparation for demo, I stashed or donated cabinet contents, small appliances and all manner of chachkies. A missing pre-algebra textbook is the least of my problems. We still have unemptied coolers from Derby!

And then there’s last week’s “Andrew Incident” when we left said kid at French tutoring with a dead phone. For two hours!

When I eventually remembered, we found Andrew roadside, about a half-mile into a three-mile walk home. Parents of the year?

So thank you Jesus for summer vacation.

The Wilsons sure need it. Peace out.

Baby Boomers have not been given the credit we deserve for the successful adaption we made to new technology humor back in the ’50s and ’60s, such as: • Post-it notes: I quickly learned to peel each sheet off flawlessly. I also came up with the idea of using different-colored slips of paper for different things. This was not in the directions. Of course, Postits are still used today. I am constantly applying notes to my fridge, desk and mirror.

Some habits really stick with you. (Sorry.)

• The Rolodex: The idea was actually 2,000 years old, but there were no phones then, so there was no point in making one. I meticulously fit the notched edge of the cards into the device. It took a long time to find the numbers I wanted before I read the directions and discovered I needed to arrange the names alphabetically.

• Remote control: I easily mastered the on/off switch and could adjust the volume without even looking at the buttons.

Channel selection required a little more skill, so for about a year I only watched

CBS. The early models were not wireless, so I never lost the remote. Those were the good old days.

• Ziploc bags: Sealing that little bag took a careful hand. The slots for closure were originally labeled “male” and “female” tracks. I didn’t know what that really referred to, but when it finally dawned on me, I began to enjoy packing my own lunches.

• Transistor radio: I could go from AM to FM seamlessly. However, I frequently poked myself in the eye with the antenna.

Kids today would be baffled by a transistor radio. What’s the dial for? Why can’t I ask it for directions to Greenwood?

• Velcro: Invented in the ’60s, one of its earliest applications was for bras. I was way too young to understand or witness the application of the product. Didn’t matter. I was having way too much fun opening and closing Ziploc bags.

Home inventory down 14.2 percent Commentary by Jim Litten April was the 52nd consecutive month of increasing year-to-date home sale prices, growing an average 1.9 percent real estate in central Indiana. While prices grew, home inventory stayed tight, as available homes were down 14.2 percent from this time last year.

In Hamilton County, the rise in prices and decrease in inventory were more relaxed than the 13-county region. F.C. Tucker data revealed prices rose 0.2 percent while inventory tightened by 6.6 percent. Pended sales in April were lower than the same time last year, as pended sales in the county fell 10 percent compared to April 2015. However, year-to-date sales were relatively flat, down just 0.1 percent.

• In Westfield, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 2.4 percent to $282,010.

• Inventory moved at a slightly slower pace in Westfield in April 2016. Overall, homes sold in 71 days – four more days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Westfield had more options

available to them. Last month, 260 homes were available for sale – 23 more homes compared to April 2015.

• The amount of pended home sales grew slightly in Westfield. In April 2016, 90 homes sold – one more sale compared to April 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 13 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 25 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 26 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; and 25 were priced $100,000 to $199,999.

The rate at which the average sale price is increasing is strong, but it’s also showing signs of tapering. From 2013 to 2015, prices grew rapidly, but now, they’re beginning to level off, similar to like we did at the beginning of 2012.

Labor, delivery for first-timers Commentary by Ashley Perkins, DO, IU Health Physicians Women’s Health – Eagle Creek If you’re pregnant for the first time, you may be learning about childbirth from friends and relatives. However, motherhood as you prepare for labor and delivery, there are likely some things you don’t know or haven’t yet been told. Here is some information I often share with first-time expectant moms: • Dietary restrictions during labor – Women are usually limited to a clear liquid diet while in labor. If you’re hungry, or between meals, when contractions begin, consider eating a small, healthy snack before leaving for the hospital.

Once you arrive, you’ll likely be offered ice chips and other clear liquids until delivery.

• Pushing prep – Pushing is hard work, and it can go on for a long time, especially with a first pregnancy. In fact, stage two of childbirth, often referred to as the pushing stage, can last up to three hours if you’ve had an epidural or two hours without one. Staying fit during pregnancy can help improve your stamina and boost

your physical strength for this part of delivery.

• Your doctor and the delivery – It’s likely your doctor will not be at the hospital while you’re in labor. The labor and delivery care team will care for you and keep your doctor informed of your condition and progress. Rest assured; your doctor will arrive in plenty of time to deliver your baby.

• Labor pain relief – While there are a variety of ways to manage labor pains, some tips for women include taking a warm shower to ease lower back pain, bouncing on a birthing ball, listening to soothing music and deep breathing. Massage from a partner also may help. Some hospitals offer nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” to help women relax during labor.

Talk to your doctor about other methods for managing labor pain.

Ashley Perkins, DO, specializes in obstetrics and gynecology.

Yeast overgrowth – Intestinal yeast overgrowth is common and is generally caused by either frequent or long-term antibiotic use.

When the body is overrun by yeast, you will frequently be gassy and feel bloated. You will also find that you crave sugar or simple carbs, such as pasta or bread, because the yeast feeds on those. Other symptoms of yeast overgrowth are fatigue, brain fog, fungal skin infections and vaginal yeast infections. Try removing sugar and simple carbs from your diet for a time and rebalance your natural gut flora with probiotics supplements.

Dangers of soymilk – Soy is turning out to be less healthy than it was promised to be. Here are several reasons to avoid soymilk: 1. It contains natural toxins called anti-nutrients that can alter women’s monthly cycles 2. It’s genetically modified – 98 percent of all soy is GMO 3. It increases the body’s need for Vitamin D and B12 4. It contains aluminum, which has been linked to Alzheimer’s 5. It contains hemagglutinin, which can cause blood clots.

‘Little Women’ set to inspire

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com This summer, audiences get to travel with the March sisters through Civil War-era America. “Little theater Women,” the musical, opens at 8 p.m. June 3 at The Belfry Theatre in Noblesville, 10690 Greenfield Ave. Based on the well-known novel by Louisa May Alcott, Maudlin “Little Women” follows the March sisters, specifically Jo, as she embarks on her journey as a writer. Jo pushes to get her stories published, but struggles to find any interest from publishers. Following advice from a friend, Jo pens the story of her family and their experience during the Civil War. “I hope the audience feels empowered,” said Elissa Maudlin, who plays the role of Beth March. “It’s about someone overcoming everything in their life to get their dream, and that’s important even today.”

The musical first premiered on Broadway in 2005, followed by a U.S. tour. The Belfry’s rendition of the Broadway musical includes 11 cast members, with some actors playing dual roles.

“The talent that we’ve packed into this cast is the greatest that I’ve seen, it just wows me,” said John Parks Whitaker, who portrays Laurie.

Whitaker said they are expecting a large audience due Whitaker to the fame of the novel, and the fact that every other show throughout this season has sold out. The theater already scheduled two extra Thursday performances.

“A whole generation grew up with this book,” Maudlin said. “They know it, and they want to see how it’s done on stage.”

The musical runs from June 3 to June 19.

Tickets are $12 for children and $18 for adults.

To find the full performance schedule and purchase tickets, call 317-773-1085, or visit thebelfrytheatre.com.

Polkaboy to open concert series

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com There is one constant about the Cool Creek Concert Series.

“This is our 22nd year, and music we’re proud of the fact that in all that time, we never raised the ticket prices,” said Don Nicholls, resource development specialist for the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. “They’ve always been and hopefully will always be $5.

Children 12 and under are (admitted) free.” The concerts, at 7 p.m. on Fridays, are held at Cool Creek Park in Carmel.

There are two crowd favorites, Polkaboy and The Flying Toasters, that traditionally pack the music pavilion area, Nicholls said.

“Polkaboy has a very local following in the Central Indiana area,” he said. “In fact, Polkaboy will launch the concert series (June 10) because we like to launch on a high note and create momentum for the balance of the series. The Flying Toasters are very popular with a lot of local clubs. They’ve played for us three of the past four years. We try to provide the audience what they like, and we know they like Polkaboy and The Flying Toasters. The other three bands we try to rotate to create diversity.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Dramatic deck upgrades Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create a large deck for outdoor living space that overlooks the beautiful yard. This upgrade allows the homeowners to entertain at the convenience of the main level of their home.

1. A large, curved deck was built to replace the dated wood staircase.

2. The new deck was built with standard lumber for the structure and finished with Trex decking and railing system, which is essentially maintenance-free — perfect for busy families and pets.

3. The sculpted, black, metal balusters and accent lighting add unique details to the railing system.

4. Overall, the addition of this new deck increases the interest of the back façade of their home, while improving the functionality and quality of their outdoor living culture.

Before Background info: This 2009 Carmel home in the Village of Towne Pointe subdivision needed a larger, improved outdoor space the homeowners could enjoy, and entertain family and friends.

Before problems: The only existing outdoor space the homeowners had was a concrete patio. A small wood staircase allowed access to the patio below, but there was no convenient outdoor living space at the main level. The potential of the large backyard allowed for an upgrade.

One of those days?

Help is just around the corner.

Dispatches Designer workshop series – The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics.

RSVP via e-mail to concierge@IndianaDesignCenter.com.

Prolong flower life – Most tap water contains minerals that make it alkaline, which is hard on cut flower stems. This means cut flowers in a vase do not get the hydration they need. To prevent this, lower the pH of the water by adding one part of lemon–lime soda such as Sprite or 7UP) to three parts of water in your vase.

The citric acid in the soda helps lower the pH, and the sugar in the soda gives the flowers an energy boost.

Coconut oil for hair – In addition to its many health benefits, coconut oil can work wonders for your hair. Used as a conditioner, it softens, shines and strengthens hair.

It can also reduce dandruff and help prevent gray hair. It can also be used to kill lice. Coat the hair in coconut oil and wrap a towel around the head to suffocate the lice. Use a lice comb to remove them and wash hair. Repeat as needed.

Protect knees when gardening – Gardening can be hard on the knees. Here’s an easy way to add some knee protection. Take an old pair of jeans and sew a patch on each knee, leaving the top side of the patch open, as though you’ve sewn a pocket on each knee. Then, in each pocket, place a sponge, or a substantial shoulder pad, or a piece of foam rubber. Before washing, remove the pad. Replace as needed.

Mosquito repellent – Lavender oil is a natural mosquito repellent. When you are going to be outside, dab the oil on your pulse points like perfume. Use sparingly because undiluted oil can irritate the skin. You can mix the oil with a carrier oil, such as olive oil to dilute it. Lemon-eucalyptus oil is also a natural repellent you could try.

Little Mermaid Statue in Copenhagen Harbor. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The little mermaid of Copenhagen Commentary by Don Knebel Copenhagen’s iconic statue of the Little Mermaid is a must see for visitors. It has also become an inviting target for travel vandals and protestors.

In 1819, Hans Christian Andersen, then 14, moved to Copenhagen, hoping to become an actor. When that did not work out, he began writing, publishing his first story at age 17.

Initially focusing on fairy tales he had heard as a child, Andersen soon began writing the original stories now famous around the world, including “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Snow Queen” and “The Little Mermaid.”

In 1909, the son of the founder of the Carlsberg Brewery was so charmed by a Copenhagen ballet based on “The Little Mermaid,” a story about a mermaid who leaves the sea in search of a human soul, that he commissioned a statue of a mermaid using the ballerina as the model. When the ballerina refused to pose nude, the sculptor’s wife became the model for the body. In 1913, the four-foot-tall bronze statue was perched on a

granite boulder on the waterfront in Copenhagen’s harbor, where it has become the symbol of the city, attracting a million admirers every year, both by land and by sea.

The Little Mermaid has been attacked repeatedly. She has lost her head twice and her arm once. She has been splashed or sprayed with paint at least five times, sometimes by groups who see the statue as degrading to women. On two occasions, the Little Mermaid has been dressed in Muslim clothes, once to protest Turkey’s effort to join the European Union. In 2003, the entire statue was blown into the water by explosives. The obvious deterrent of moving the statue further from shore has been rejected. A persistent rumor that the original statue is hidden away somewhere has never been substantiated.

All events are open to general public.
