Westfield Advisory Plan Commission members received their first official look at the new proposed Westfield Community Stadium on June 2.

Westfield Washington development Schools is seeking approval of a development and site plan review for a new football stadium and related improvements. The stadium will be located between the existing high school building and U.S. 31.

According to the proposal, new construction in this phase of the project includes: • An artificial turf field

• A nine-lane running track and associated track equipment • Stadium lights • Concession and restroom building • Home stands • Visitor stands • A two-story press box • Four independent ticket booths • Four foot fencing around the field and track • Six foot fencing around the entire stadium • Concrete pavement in all areas within the perimeter fencing Other business conducted at the meeting included:

What happened: Development plan and primary plat approval for 136 multifamily units What it means: The property is approximately 20 acres and is generally located 2,000 feet north of Ind. 32, abutting the east side of Casey Road. The property is currently accessed by Casey Road. While the property is zoned within the Commercial Mixed Use District, the underlying zoning is Multifamily 2. The petitioner is proposing 19 separate buildings that contain six to eight dwelling units. Amenities include a dog park and pedestrian trail.

What happened: Development plan and primary plat approval for seven duplex lots What it means: The proposal is for seven lots for duplex buildings on approximately 2.648 acres in the North Walk development at 740 N. Union St. The proposal includes a new cul-de-sac street that is accessed from Union Street. The new street includes an emergency access lane that extends from the end of the cul-de-sac to adjacent Maple Lane.

The proposal also includes two areas for neighborhood amenities and buffer yards. The property is currently vacant.

What happened: Primary plat and development plan review for 44 single family residential lots What it means: The property is approximately 16 acres on the east side of Carey Road, south of 186th Street and north of Ind. 32.

Sundown Gardens, 505 W. 186th St., is approximately 16 acres at the southwest corner of the intersection. The change of zoning would allow for a mixed-use agritourism, garden and lawn center, nursery and commercial development. The development ordinance establishes four areas for the business. The four proposed areas are planned to be used for garden and design, an outdoor showroom/park, market/plaza and garden area.

The plot of “Non-Stop” is more or less preposterous, with the villain sending Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) clues and taunts via text message, as the latter tries to puzzle out the identity of the bad guy during a flight.

Is it the quiet Muslim fellow? The obnoxious cop? Or maybe the amiable woman (Julianne Moore) chatting him up before the stuff hit the fan? Read more at www. currentnightandday.com.

Taco Night last Thursday was its usual great success and as is columnist Mike Redmond’s practice, he made extra taco filling so he would have leftovers with which to make nachos for his lunch the next day. Redmond put the extra taco filling into a plastic container and placed it in the refrigerator, where it promptly disappeared causing the semi-annual activity Redmond likes to call “Taking Back the Refrigerator.”

Get up close with big vehicles

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Get behind the wheel, honk the horn and explore the ins and outs of vehicles. Children and adults can get an up close diversion view of a variety of vehicles during the Washington Township Parks and Recreation Touch-a-Truck event from 10 a.m. to noon June 12 at Westfield High School’s parking lot, 322 W. Main St. “It’s a free community event that we use as an educational tool to learn about the vehicles they see every day,” said Stacy London of Washington Township Parks and Recreation. “It’s a fun event for the kids and adults.”

London said the event is aimed at children 8 and younger. The program, which was started in 2004 by Melody Jones, is in its 10th year. During the years, London said the event has transitioned from charged admission to free and grown in popularity.

“We ordered 350 hats and had given away all of them within the first 45 minutes of the event,” London said. “We ran out last year of construction hats and stickers.”

London said the event includes an assortment of vehicles like a fire truck, Duke Energy bucket truck, moving van, staged horse trailer, car hauler, Hamilton County Sheriff and Westfield Police cars and tow trucks, among others.

“It’s all different types of vehicles – vehicles they see every day,” she said. “It’s up close and personnel. They climb in, get their picture taken and ask questions to drivers.”

London said the post office mail truck and school bus are particular favorites of young children.

“Kids love to climb in the mail truck they see every day,” London said. “There’s also a line for the school bus. The younger kids never to get to get up in the school bus.”

Mosaics School decision divides students’ classrooms

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

nickloyhigdon.com ATTORNEYS AT LAW

A domino-effect has caused the location of approximately 40 students to be limbo for the coming school year after education superintendents in the Hamilton-Boone-Madison Special Services Cooperative decided to decentralize Mosaics School.

Beginning in the fall, Mosaics students will attend different classrooms in Noblesville and Westfield Washington schools while the co-op searches for a long term solution to no longer having a home for Mosaics.

“The school means a lot to us, all of the families. It’s not just a school; it’s not just an education,” said Annette Whitesell, parent at Mosaics. “(My son) lost hope of being able to have a normal life, but Mosaics gave him confidence.”

“Special children with special needs are going to be left behind if we don’t do something quickly,” said Vicky Gaskin, a supporter of the school.

“We have to do something for our future.”

Mosaics severes emotionally challenged students or high-anxiety students that need a highly structured environment. Conner said the school has as many as 40 students or as few as 30 depending on the year. Noblesville Schools has 16 students in the program, comprising almost half of the student body.

“It’s much more like a family setting than a regular classroom for kids with special needs,”

said Suzanne Sabini, a concerned Noblesville resident. “Decentralization of services does not work very well. What happens when there is a situation when a child becomes out of control and violent?”

Moving is nothing new to Mosaics, which has had previous homes in Carmel and Noblesville – each twice. This past school year the program was held on the second floor of the Noblesville High School Freshman Campus. Since the building will become Noblesville East Middle School this summer, space that is no longer available.

The co-op planned to house Mosaics in the National Guard Armory that Noblesville Schools recently purchased.

“It was evaluated that it would cost more to renovate ad bring up to code than what it costs and it’s not a long-term solution, maybe five years,” Noblesville Schools Supt. Dr. Libbie Conner said.

Conner Director of Mosaics School Steven Wornhoff did not give specifics of where classrooms will be or whether all teachers at Mosaics School will be retained. Wornhoff said White River Christian Church in Noblesville offered to house the program. White River said it has a large space that is used only on weekends and Thursday evenings that could house the program.

“To put the program there is not adequate or

appropriate space for the entire program,” Wornhoff said.

Mosaics will be split into one classroom for elementary students, one for middle school and two for high school. Wornhoff said each home district will have individual planning for each student with which classroom best meets their needs and to review mental health and academic needs.

“I want my kid to have a school, not a room,” said Matthew Thomas, a Mosaics parent. “I thought we had a solution. It comes down to priorities. Why are we revisiting this?”

Superintendents said they will begin looking for long-term options in the fall.

“One reason to have the co-op is to put programs like this together,” said Westfield Washington Schools Supt. Dr. Mark Keen. “Most of us can’t support on our own. It’s important we continue to look at long-term solutions so it’s not Keen a program in limbo.”

“I’m confident the program will serve the students in a positive way. I’m confident they can make this setting work, confident our student’s needs will be met next year,” Hamilton Heights Schools Supt. Dr. Derek Arrowood said.

The co-op is formed by Noblesville, Westfield Washington, Hamilton Heights, Sheridan Community and Frankton Lapel schools.

Plan addesses Ind. 37 traffic issue

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County officials have a proposal to reduce traffic congestion and travel times along a six-mile stretch of Ind. the commute 37 between Fishers and Noblesville by creating a freeway with roundabout intersections similar to Keystone Parkway in Carmel.

The Hamilton County Commissioners have conducted a study that advised the traffic issues and future failure of 10 intersections between I-69 and Ind. 38 would be solved with such a renovation.

Cost of the project to own and operate the roadway is estimated at $243 million during 50 years.

Estimated costs for construction and yearly costs were not available at the presentation.

According to United Consulting President Dave Richter, 70 percent of the costs traditionally come from state and federal funding with the remaining 30 percent being split by local governments.

Richter said the problem needs to be addressed proactively to avoid the state, which owns the roadway, deciding the scope and schedule of the project.

“INDOT will decide which crossroads will get turn lanes and which ones don’t,” he said. “INDOT is concerned with traffic going north and south, they aren’t concerned with traffic going east and

west into your communities.”

Officials said roundabout interchanges provide a solution for the next 20 to 30 years. Greg Kicinski of American Structurepoint, said it takes 25 to 40 minutes to travel the six miles during rush hour, and it also will cause near failures of six intersections by 2019 and complete failures of all intersections by 2025.

Commissioners said the study has been shared with INDOT and state representatives, which are in favor of the project. The next step is to share the presentation with elected officials from Noblesville and Fishers and gain approval from each municipality. As a group, the county and each city will then approach INDOT and the state for approval and funding negotiations.

Why did you become a teacher? My dad always believed that teaching was a noble calling. And both of my parents sent the message very clearly to my siblings and me that education really, really matters. I became a teacher because I wanted to be part of something that is both noble and important.

What goals do you have for your students?

My goals for my students are that they continue to hone reading, writing, and thinking skills; that they learn at least a little (hopefully a lot!) about the historical development of our country; that they develop good time-management skills; and that they are working to become self-directed learners.

What do you encourage parents to do at

home to help their children strengthen particular skills? High school juniors are very busy people and usually are more independent than they’ve ever been (they can drive!). Westfield parents do a fantastic job of creating a home environment in which education is valued and helping these semiindependent students learn how to prioritize and manage their time.

What is your favorite movie? Apollo 13 Who is your favorite musician or band?

Don McLean, Neil Diamond and John Denver What’s something your students might not know about you? I’m an eighth-generation Hoosier. My original Hoosier ancestor, Michael Fox, was a Revolutionary War veteran who moved with his family to Indiana in 1820 – when the state was only 4 years old. So, I come from a long line of people who found a place that they liked and stayed there!

Show off your garden, city pride

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Westfield in Bloom Floral Committee is seeking participants in its sixth annual Floral Display Competition this year. The outdoors competition is free and open to residents, neighborhoods, businesses and organizations.

“The competition is to promote and engage different businesses, organizations and residents to go all out and beautify their homes,” said Groger Brittany Goger, recreation program coordinator. “There are 19 different categories they can compete in.”

Goger said the numerous categories provide something for everyone.

Each year, a predominant color is selected to provide unity throughout the community. Goger said this color is utilized in the hanging baskets and planters downtown, in the garden beds in the parks, and the color is among the judging criteria used in the Floral Display Competition to select the winners. This year’s color is red.

“Red is the dominant color. Not every color needs to be red but it is the dominant color,” Goger said.

Goger said the registration deadline is June 21

The Westfield in Bloom Floral Display Competition judging will take place June 28.

Judging criteria includes: • Use of 2014 color (Red) • Arrangements and originality • Distribution and location of flowers • Color, variety and harmony • Maintenance of flowerbeds, planters, containers and window boxes

and judging will take place June 28.

“They spend a whole day judging it,” she said.

“It’s a really unique opportunity to get the community involved and make Westfield the beautiful place it is.”

Not only do the winners earn bragging rights throughout the community, they will receive an official “Westfield in Bloom Winner” sign to display and will be recognized at the annual Westfield in Bloom Celebration where they will be awarded a decorative stepping stone.

“We’ll celebrate in the fall and recognize winners,” Goger said.

Goger said pictures of all of last year’s floral display participants and winners are available on the City of Westfield Parks and Recreation Facebook page to provide inspiration.

Grand opening right around corner Commentary by Mayor Andy Cook

It’s finally here.

After years in the making, we are officially opening Grand Park this month. It’s city been a long road, but we did it.

We’ve already had games at Grand Park, including youth tournaments, college games with Notre Dame and Butler and almost 200,000 visits since play began in March. It has been phenomenal to see the amount of people who visit the park and our city every week.

Nothing that we accomplish in life is ever done alone. Grand Park is the result of years of hard work by too many people to list by name.

Because of their hard work, our community is becoming a destination for the youth sports industry nationwide. But the grand opening that will occur next week is not just for athletes.

Our grand opening is going to be a fun event designed for the entire Westfield community. The weekend of June 20 through 22 will feature food, games, live music, a 5K run/walk, a Ferris wheel and a grand fireworks display. We’ll even have one of the largest ribbon-cuttings in Indiana on June 21 at 2 p.m. You will not want to miss out.

I hope you can make it to our celebration. I also hope the experience doesn’t end there – be sure to visit the park often to enjoy the largest, and the best, youth sports campus in the country, right here in the best city in Indiana. Thank you to everyone who made Grand Park a reality.

Andy Cook is in his second term as mayor of Westfield. He may be contacted at 804-3001.

Torch burns bright in fundraiser

Toenail Fungus – seek treatment before it spreads!

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

On May 30, officers from local law enforcement agencies within Hamilton County took part in a countywide Torch philanthropy Run to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics Indiana. Noblesville Police Dept. Lt. Bruce Barnes, who organizes the run, said it was the sixth consecutive year and seventh overall that the officers have held the rain-or-shine fundraiser.

“Our numbers have increased each year and this year was no exception. We had more than 75 runners and supporters this year,” he said.

Officers from the Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield police departments along with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept., Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office and Indiana State Police participated in this fundraising effort. Each agency started at a designated location throughout the county based upon their respective jurisdiction, traveled approximately six to eight miles and simultaneously converged on downtown Noblesville where they were joined by local athletes of Special Olympics for a lap around the Noblesville Square.

“This is really no different than what we do on a daily basis here in Hamilton County as far as law enforcement. We take a great deal of pride in having tremendous working relationships with all of our law enforcement partners. The only dif-

ference in this case is that we shed our blue and brown uniforms and come together as a single unit representing one association – Hamilton County Law Enforcement,” Barnes said.

Barnes said the officers are still collecting donations and do not have a final amount of funds raised for Special Olympics Indiana.

Special Olympics athletes from Hamilton County and around the state participated in this year’s Special Olympics Summer Games in Terre Haute on June 6 through 8.

Ivy Tech to create more parking space

By Navar Watson • news@currentinwestfield.com

know more

When Ivy Tech opens its Noblesville campus in two months, it has plans to ensure neighboring homes do not have unwanted education guests parking in their driveways or cluttering traffic around the school.

Ivy Tech chancellor Dr. Kathleen Lee announced at a community meeting May 29 that the community college will be paving over the baseball field immediately west of Noblesville East Middle School to accomBeery modate future students.

Parking plans and building development were the primary subjects of Lee’s presentation at NEMS, 300 N. 17th St., the future location of Ivy Tech’s Noblesville campus.

The Noblesville campus, Lee which will be the 32nd Ivy Tech location in Indiana, will offer 75 programmed sections, or classes, in the fall with a maximum of 1,900 available seats.

Ivy Tech does not plan on removing any trees for parking space. The college is very “green oriented,” Lee said, and will be inserting rain gardens around the edges of the parking lot in order to distinguish its own space.

Key dates for the Noblesville campus development include: June 16: Parking lot construction begins June 23: Ivy Tech gains access to the building July 7: Staff arrives (including admissions, etc.)

Aug. 25: Fall semester begins

“We want folks to know when they’re on campus and when they’re not on campus,” Lee said.

“We want to have a clear border.”

Noblesville City Engineer John Beery said “neighborhood parking only” signs will be put up in surrounding residential areas as well, notifying students not to park there.

With the new parking lot, Ivy Tech plans to construct another focal entrance to the school – where the cafeterias are now – in addition to using the school’s current main entrance, Lee said.

At the meeting, audience members raised concerns about traffic on Conner Street once classes are in session. Ivy Tech will solve its early traffic issues mainly through trial and error methods, Lee and Beery explained.

“We’re going to have to figure out what works for us,” Lee said, adding that the school can stagger class times to avoid traffic buildups if necessary.

Lee said Ivy Tech is also communicating with the Boys & Girls Club in order to ensure that weekend game times will not heavily conflict

with class times. She said historically, Friday and Saturday night classes have not been popular sign-up times for students anyway.

Beery said the city has not looked at expanding any specific streets to improve traffic. They have, however, looked at “maybe doing some work” on 17th Street south of the campus as well as possibly adding a connector street east of the Conner Learning Center.

“I’m looking forward to Ivy Tech,” 17th Street resident Martha Reep said. “We’re hoping they’ll have a little better upkeep.”

After Lee’s presentation, audience members asked if Ivy Tech would be keeping better maintenance and surveillance of the area surrounding the campus, which some residents said has been subject to neglect. Lee said Ivy Tech is working with the Noblesville Police Dept. and their own security on keeping the grounds clean and monitoring suspicious activity or student misbehavior.

“Ivy Tech takes excellent care of its campuses,” she said. “We pride ourselves on the way our campuses look. We figure our students can only do as well as the facility looks that they come to.”

The Noblesville campus will be a full-service campus, Lee said, allowing students to sign up for classes, buy textbooks and accomplish other tasks without having to travel to the Indianapolis campus.

Other campuses in central Indiana are in Indianapolis, Greencastle, Franklin and Lawrence.

Years teaching: Five – all at Westfield Middle School.

Hobbies: Watching the Olympics, traveling, reading and cooking.

WMS teacher to use Fulbright Award to improve female confidence, competence in math

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Last summer, Westfield Middle School math teacher Kelly Day traveled throughout Asia observing classrooms in five topcover story performing Asian nations through a Lilly Endowment Fellowship. Next spring, Day will travel to Finland to study math classrooms and work with other teachers and students. She was chosen as one of 43 teachers across the nation to represent the U.S. Dept. of Education in the Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching program.

“It’s such a great honor,” she said. “I love teaching. I want to stay in the classroom by learning how to improve instructional experiences.”

This summer, Day will travel to Washington, D.C., to get trained as an ambassador of the U.S. DOE and begin her research into the psychology of female development.

“In third grade, girls start to fall behind the boys,” she said. “Math is used in every field.

Cross-curricular education is so important. I’m constantly doing economics, business work and engineering (in my lessons).”

Day said the Fulbright Award is an international program where teachers create a research project and select a foreign country to study, live and teach in that is conducive to the research.

“They produce some of the top results across the board. They are so completely different than the United States,” Day said, adding Finland uses all project-based learning lessons. “They have very limited testing and very little standardized testing. There’s not a lot assigned curriculum and a lot of teacher choice.”

Day said she’s not sure what to expect in Finland.

“My students think it’s going to be like ‘Frozen,’” she said. “I hope to see the Northern Lights; I’ll be pretty busy working non-stop.”

While her data can be accessed by teachers and presented to the U.S. DOE, Day said she plans to apply it in her classroom and across the district.

“I’m not going to change our system overnight.

Finland is one of very few countries where girls perform better than boys in mathematics. What are they doing differently to support female development in this area?” she said.

Day believes that part of the reason is psychology.

“They are so well focused especially in the lower levels,” she said. “I want to research how they are impairing girls to give them empower-

Breaking through the “Math Ceiling” Helping girls gain confidence and competence in mathematics

Purpose

To give female students and teachers confidence in their abilities to think and express themselves mathematically.

Day’s objective is to study the causes of the widespread gender disparity in mathematics education and learn best teaching practices from Finland.

Plan

Day hopes that studying in Finland will help her create a system of education that inspires women teachers and students. Using the teaching practices of Finland as a model, Day hopes to empower a new generation of female students and teachers to love and embrace the exciting field of mathematics.

ment. I think the biggest issue with girls in math is the cultural issue. They think they are not going to get it.”

Day said her short-term goals include developing mathematic ideas for the district and starting a girl’s math club.

“I want to adopt a system where all students, especially girls, have the tools they need to try new things, learn from their mistakes and take ownership in their education,” she said. “My longterm goals are that I think eventually I’m going to have to write a book. I’ve had so many great experiences traveling and teaching.”

Day credits her middle school math teacher, Karen Frodge, with her career in education. As a seventh grade student, she was placed in sixth

When

Day will do research in Finland from March through June 2015.

Why Finland?

Day said that only the top 10 percent of graduating classes get into teaching college in Finland and that the profession is highly regarded by its citizens. Also, 60 percent of elected officials are female. “It’s a very gender-equal society,” Day said.

grade remedial math.

“I believed the lie; once I got over that it was so relieving,” she said. “She recognized that there was more to me than that. She really pushed me and that sparked the rest of my academic career. I worked really, really hard.”

Day’s teaching style is a hit with her seventhgrade students.

“She’s a really fun teacher and she teaches really well,” Griffin Pope said.

“She’s caring. She’s helped me so much this year. It’s hard to describe,” Kyle Biggerstaff said.

“She’s really great. She explains lessons that help people learn better,” said Tiffany West. “She shares stories about math problems and some songs that help us remember.”

Research

Day will be studying sample groups of female students in the USA and in Finland. She will try to discover the student’s attitudes, opinions and overall feelings towards math with a special emphasis on how teachers and past experiences have contributed to their current perspectives.

She will compare these results with the students’ corresponding teachers.

Abroad

Day also will observe and interact with math classrooms in Finland in order to see how female students are encouraged to participate and interact. While in Finland, she will combine all of her findings into a comprehensive study between the cause and effect relationship between teacher opinion, anxiety, and training in mathematics and the corresponding student’s opinion of the field.

Window of chance surpises daughter during Field Day

FROM THE BACKSHOP

It’s going to be a Rockin’ 4th

We’re proud to help sponsor Westfield Rocks the 4th, the annual Independence Day celebration in Asa Bales Park. Westfield says it’s the largest community gathering for the city, and there’s no wondering why. This marks the fifth year of the continually evolving and growing event. The city tells us this year’s Headliner’s Car Show is anticipated to double in size, the Kids Area will continue to add new activities to the live entertainment and rock-climbing wall brought in last year, and the fireworks display is predicted to be bigger and better than ever. Musical guests will be announced soon, and Current will keep you posted. With live music, the best of festival food, marketplace vendors, and The Mill Tavern’s beverage garden, why not make Westfield Rocks the 4th your destination? A slice of Americana with a side of entertainment and activities is the perfect way to spend your holiday and the observance of our nation’s independence.

He was a reporter, then an editor and lastly a department head. So, when The Associated Press tweeted last week that its new stylebook would allow the use of “over” when meaning “more than” or “during,” we both shuddered. This is simply the continuing degradation of grammar in America. In general, our countrymen comprise a lazy lot with respect to English usage, so Americans typically say, “It’s over $100,” when they mean, “It’s more than $100.” How about “over the weekend”?

It should be “during the weekend,” Over is a spatial term, plain and simple. This, however, is a war we will not win –except with respect to its use in your newspaper. Otherwise, and succinctly stated, we’re over it.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Venture into mentoring Commentary by Terry Anker A civic board on which I have some responsibility for planning an annual retreat decided this year to invite a professional moderator to facilitate the discussion with the goal of making what is always an expensive day (in both terms of time and treasure) realize a sufficient return on its investment to be justified. Added to considerable use of staff time and even more from the 15 trustees, many of whose hourly rate would be staggering if so measured, the fixed costs of food and sundries will be the fee of the facilitator. We have selected wisely and expectations are high that the organization will benefit enormously from an organized review.

The business of coaching, mentoring, advising, consulting and facilitating generates billions in fee revenue annually. Ostensibly the billions are turned into trillions in benefit to the folks mentored and the companies who employ them.

As with any maturing industry, competition brings the best performers to the top and drives contenders to distinguish themselves in the

marketplace. The worst rely on platitudes, truisms and catch phrases to sell books, videos and all manner of claptrap. The best deploy carefully developed assessment tools and advanced emotional intelligence to find what’s great in us and bring it forward.

But what makes us think we are qualified to mentor any other human – for pay or not? Is their asking enough? Assuming the role requires something significant. What are the traits of one who listens, evaluates and then mentors? Where are the failings of one who talks, dismisses and then ventors? If we vent our own self-perceived wisdom on the mentee, have we really helped them or simply reinforced our own insecurities?

The upside to a solid mentoring relationship is significant – even worth the occasional ventoring episode – so, invest in one.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK I have found there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.

- Mark Twain

Many nights I go to bed thinking I am a mediocre mom, but every once in a while, I orchestrate a magical parenting humor moment and receive at least some validation that my children won’t be in therapy long. I experienced one of those times recently, so take note. There may not be another for two to six months.

My youngest was participating in Field Day, and had begged my husband to come see her in just one event. His schedule was tight though, and it would be a miracle if he could take two conference calls, pick up the dog from the kennel, monitor our feverish son staying home from school, and remember to feed himself. Even for a talented multitasker, which I wouldn’t necessarily call Doo, the morning wouldn’t be busy. Trying to squeeze in a driveby to watch our daughter jump rope at 10:07 a.m. would possibly have him in Cuckoo-ville by noon.

I did what I could to appease my own guilt of missing her big day. I had tucked her in the night before with “Have fun!” and “Don’t forget your sunscreen!” That morning, I packed her a special lunch, and covered the brown-paper bag with well-wishes. As I drove off to work though, I still felt miserable. She’d probably be the only kid without a cheering parent.

But when I got to my school and looked at the tweaked schedule for final exams, I realized that my prep period would coincide with an extended lunch, giving me approximately ninety minutes of absolutely no teacher responsibility whatsoever. Hot damn! I called Doo, told him my plan, and went to work figuring out how to play hooky. (The secretary had my cell in case of a math emergency, but for whatever reason, when the bell rang, I rushed out with my head down and sunglasses on, hoping to blend with the throng of students should someone check the video feed!)

By the grace of God, I arrived at my daughter’s school about five minutes before her 200 yard dash. When she saw me, the smile on her face was absolutely brilliant. She finished sixth, just shy of a ribbon, and on the next race, a relay, earned a third. I was only there 25 minutes, but was able to give lots of high fives and “I’m so proud of yous!” As I hugged her to say goodbye, she replied, “Thank you so much for coming to my field day, Mommy!”

And thank you, my darling Maddie, for reminding me what’s important, and for letting me sometimes be a good mom. Peace out.

I don’t like things going on in my house while I’m sleeping. I’m pretty hard on my appliances and after they’ve put in a good humor 12-14 hours, I think they should get the rest of the evening off. Plus, I can’t afford the overtime. When I hear noises in my house after midnight, it better be the cat or a burglar. I don’t want my dishwasher on time-and-a-half.

In the evening, I also hear my computer grinding away. I know it’s up to no good and the result is that I’ve lost a great deal of trust in its operation. I am convinced that when the sun goes down, it has a hidden life. I thought there was something going on between my computer and the water heater, and now I’m pretty sure my printer is also in on this. My printer already had me on alert because it always has a little hissy-fit before it actually prints.

As a result of all this, I am concerned about my computer’s reliability. So every once in a while, I test my e-mail by sending a message titled TEST. The other morning, instead of TEST, I simply typed my name: DICK WOLFSIE. Then I sent it to myself—or at least I thought I did.

By mistake, I also sent it to 300 people on my newspaper column e-mail list. When these folks opened the e-mail, all it said was DICK WOLFSIE. Here’s what some folks had to say in response: (The screen names have been changed to

Huey Lewis & the News to grace Palladium stage

By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com Anyone having flashbacks about life in the 1980s surely will have an accompanying mental soundtrack filled with songs by music Huey Lewis & the News playing right along.

They were virtually synonymous with the time – their music could be heard all over the radio, in movie soundtracks and even on the fledgling MTV station. But time never stopped ticking for the nation or the band, which has continued to fill concert halls and record music ever since.

Now Huey Lewis & the News are ready to return to our consciousness again when they play the Palladium in Carmel on June 11.

The band, entering its 35th year together, is most known for 80’s rock hits “Back in Time” and “The Power of Love,” both featured in the iconic movie “Back to the Future.” But the new set list is sure to include songs like “Workin’ for a Livin’” and “Hip to be Square.”

In an exclusive interview with Current, Lewis took the time to tell people what to expect.

“Everyone loves the hits of course, but we try to mix it up a bit and play some different stuff to keep it fresh,” he said. “I’ve also changed the

style of my shirt at least twice now!”

Formed from two San Francisco Bay-area bands that often acted as rivals in 1979, the News went on to create a uniquely ’80s sound, by combining R&B and soul with a rock influence and the indelible saxophone section.

Lewis developed a love of music early on and began playing the harmonica at the age of 13.

After graduating boarding school, he hitchhiked through Western Europe for a year while playing his music. His former band, Clover, played three to four sets a night for five or more nights a week for six years before being signed by Phonogram Records in London.

It wasn’t until Clover’s disbandment that Lewis moved to San Francisco. In 1977, he began forming what would become the News, which released their first record in 1980.

Lewis said he considers himself a showman, and he has acted on Broadway, filmed the 2000 movie “Duets” with Gwenyth Paltrow and has even guest-starred on the TV Land sitcom “Hot in Cleveland.”

But the spontaneous nature of the stage is where he keeps returning.

“In the old days, music performances were live and used to be captured on record,” Lewis said. “Now performances tend to be created

- pieced together. The waistlines have also changed a little since the ’80s!”

The band loves to play for every type of crowd, certainly an indicator of each member’s modest origins.

“I’ve never really thought of Huey Lewis & The News as an ’80s band, but people do like to categorize,” Lewis said. “We love to play for the fans everywhere. You never know what you might find on any given night.”

Saxophonist and founding member Johnny Colla developed his chops in the San Francisco music scene for years, inspired and drawn in by the 1960s “Summer of Love” movement. And he said he remains driven by a fervent News fanbase.

“Sure, we’re the Tony Bennetts of our generation,” Colla said in a statement. “But it’s not such a bad way to go. I can think of worse jobs.”

As a band that has stood the test of time, Lewis believes there’s one thing that fans might not anticipate.

“We all still like each other!” Lewis said.

Young actors take center stage

By Jessica Fox • jessica@currentincarmel.com

“What does a parent have to do to be a good parent?”

That’s the question that Geptheatre petto will have to answer in the Junior Civic’s production of “My Son, Pinocchio Jr.” The performance offers an alternate perspective on the classic Disney fairy tale about a puppet hoping to become a real boy.

According to the performance’s director, Brent Marty, the musical is a twist on the original “Pinocchio.” This musical is told from the point of view of Geppetto, Pinocchio’s father.

The musical will include a student ensemble and a live orchestra.

The Junior Civic program gives children ages 7 to 14 the opportunity to perform in a professional setting. Marty said they come away from the experience seeing the whole production professionally put together.

The “My Son, Pinocchio Jr.” musical is just a part of the education Civic offers to students at the Tarkington Theatre.

The Tarkington offers classes as well as a vocal camp during the summer months.

Vocal Director Trevor Fanning began directing the theater’s chorus in 2007. His job is to help the students memorize lyrics and work the songs into the performance. Instead of working the songs and the script in different segments, the students practice their vocals during each performance.

This musical will include both traditional and new music. Traditional songs include Disney’s “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings.”

Stephen Schwartz, the composer and lyricist of the musical “Wicked,” wrote the remainder of the show’s music.

The students are still in the process of putting everything together, but the directors know it will all come together in the end. There are no small parts in this musical, and everyone’s roles are equally important to the production.

According to Marty, “Watching the students learn the process of producing a play (is the best part of directing).”

The young actors of the Junior Civic program will provide a new take on the classical Disney story when they perform “My Son, Pinocchio Jr.” (Submitted photo by Zach Rosing)

The students singing in the ensemble are just as excited for the performance as the director.

While most the students have had previous acting experience, each of the students still remains enthusiastic for their chance in the spotlight.

“It will be a great show with talented directors, choreography, kids and amazing songs,” said 11-year-old Ethan Gold, a student at West Clay Elementary.

Ethan has been in two other Junior Civic productions including “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Once Upon a Shoe.”

The rest of the students seem to share in his enthusiasm.

“It’s going to be a great show. It’s funny and entertaining,” said 13-year-old Megan McCabe, a student at Noblesville East Middle School.

“I really love musical theatre… it’s fun to watch and it’s cool,” said 11-year-old Amelie Zirnheld, a student at Schneider Academy.

“My Son, Pinocchio Jr.” • A production by the Junior Civic program • 7 p.m. June 13; 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. June 14; and 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. June 16 through June 18 • The Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • Tickets start at $15 • For more information call 923-4597 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

Recipe: Lamb with Spring Veggies and Orzo

Bartender: Vickie Lenk at Moon Dog Tavern, 4825 E. 96th St., Indianapolis

Ingredients: 1 pound of lamb roast, cut in 2-inch cubes; 1/2 bottle of red wine; 1/2 cup olive oil; Fresh oregano, thyme and rosemary; Tender baby kale or baby spinach, torn into bite sized pieces; 1 bunch of asparagus; 1 cup of grape tomatoes, sliced; 4 ounces of feta or goat cheese; 1/2 pound of orzo; 2 cups beef broth Directions: Marinate lamb cubes in a large Ziploc bag with the wine, olive oil and herbs. Add fresh cracked black pepper.

Refrigerate at least one hour or overnight. Skewer and cook over a med flame until a pink center/med rare. Add oregano and thyme to broth and cook orzo according to package directions. At the last 2 minutes, add the asparagus. Drain & set aside. Orzo can be served warm or room temperature.

Toss baby kale, sliced tomatoes and cheese into cooked orzo, place meat on top and sprinkle cheese on top. Both feta and goat cheese will taste fresher if you buy the block style. The pre-crumbled forms, while easier, have a desiccant coating that mask their true flavors. It is easy enough to use a fork to flake the cheese on top. Mangia!

Porsches cruising through town

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Car lovers and fashion enthusiasts are uniting for this year’s CruZionsville Porsche show on June 14, when the Central Indiana cars Region Porsche Club of America hosts its fourth annual Porsche event on Main Street.

“It’s a lot of nice people doing a lot of nice things to make this happen,” said founder of the CruZionsville show and Zionsville resident Steve Tarr.

All proceeds of the event will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association of America. Last year the event raised $12,800 for Alzheimer’s research.

The goal for this year is $25,000.

“It’s just a great event,” said Amy Lacy, a Zionsville resident who is also active in raising money for Alzheimer’s research.

Tarr named the event CruZionsville, which means the cars are “cruising” through town.

At 10 a.m. the day of the event, more than 125 cars will cruise from Zionsville Meadows, down Oak Street, and then park along Main Street. The free car show will end at 3 p.m.

Some of the cars in attendance include historic Porsches. Members of the Porsche club will also be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911. Only two of these 911 Porsches are in the state of Indiana, and one will be in Zionsville for the show.

Tarr said that the event is about bringing people together, and exposing Zionsville to the rest of the state. He has even had assistance from the Boone County Covention Visitors Bureau.

“It’s really not about how new your car is,” Tarr said.

Also during the day, there will be events for kids, a fashion show directed by local fashionista Nikki Blaine, and a food eating competition.

“We’ve got some beautiful cars coming,” Tarr said. “But there will be something for everyone.”

The map shows the gardens and porches of the homes on the tour, with each marked with a sign and the Historical Society’s logo in the front yard.

“It lets you explore people’s private garden plots and check out their front porch,” Keiser said. “The homeowners are there and like to talk to people about what they have done. You might be surprised at some of the little private gardens they have with fountains and rocks and sitting areas. Last year one even had a chandelier in the garden.”

It can be as large as you want it, 10 spots, 20 or maybe even 30. Now fill that board up with healthy challenges for the family to complete during June, July and August. Let everyone participate in choosing the activities. For example, for active spots, list hiking at Fort Benjamin Harrison, getting wet at the splash pad at Billericay Park or a bike ride after dinner. For healthy food challenges, create spots to try a new summer salad, go for a picnic at Holland Park or pick strawberries at a one of the local farms.

Reading is good for our brain fitness, so create a board spot for participating in the Fishers Library Summer Reading Program. If you want ideas for home, fill a spot with sprinkler fun in the afternoon or cooking dinner together for some quality family time. The possibilities are endless.

Once your board is full of all of your family’s ideas for healthy activities for the summer, hang

it up somewhere visible and start highlighting or crossing off activities as you complete them. You can even plan a reward like a family outing to the zoo or a museum trip at the end of the summer if all challenges get completed.

I have many clients tell me they want to influence their kids to be healthy. My answer every time is your kids will be influenced by what you do not by what you say. Not every activity as to involve mom and dad, but try to make most of them family friendly. Maybe you even challenge another family to compete to see who can complete their board first.

Take the challenge, create a family health bingo board and the whole family will stay healthy and happy throughout the summer months!

Questions to ask a financial advisor Commentary by Adam Cmejla

Evaluating and hiring a financial advisor to serve you and your family and handle your financial affairs is a very big finance decision and one that should be decided with much due diligence and intention. The next two columns, I’ll go over some questions that can be used as a guide when interviewing potential advisors to serve your family.

How did you find the advisor?

Think about how the advisor came into your life. Was it through an advertisement in a publication or direct mail piece? Did you accept an invitation to a free dinner and sit through an educational workshop? Was it through a referral from a trusted friend or colleague that has an existing relationship with the advisor? Direct mail and workshops are not bad, but just know that there›s a reason that the advisor is hosting workshops or buying advertising spots. Is it to sell you something or is it truly educational in nature?

Why is that person in the business?

This is an important question that I think every advisor should know to their core and every client should know about their advisor. In my opinion, understanding the “why” of this business is just as important as the “how.” What is their intention in working with clients? Being clear on who they are and how they serve their clients can be a good indication on what to expect.

What professional designations do they have?

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the self-regulated, not-for-profit organization authorized by Congress to protect American investors, there are 153 – count them, 153 – different designations that advisors can obtain to put after their name. The important thing to understand about these designations

is the varying level of mastery that›s required to obtain them. By searching the list at www. finra.org, you can learn all about any designation that your advisor may have after their name. A CFP practitioner (certified financial planner) is considered by many as one of a few pinnacle designations in our industry and which requires experience prerequisites, extensive studying and demonstrated mastery of the subject material.

(Full disclosure: I am not a CFP practitioner, but I am currently studying through the materials and plan to sit for the national board exams in November 2014).

How have they furthered their education?

Many people don’t know that the barrier for entry in our profession is relatively low, and that’s in part due to the high attrition that occurs in our industry.

Get the green light from a firm, study for a couple weeks or months for a few national securities licenses (which, by the way, are still written and governed by laws written in 1933, 1933 and 1940), and POOF – you’re now a financial advisor legally licensed to dispense financial advice to the general public.

The same is true for life and health insurance licenses, which are needed to offer other financial vehicles such as annuities and life insurance.

Make sure to ask the right questions about how long they’ve been in this business, what they’ve done to hone their craft, and if they’re new in the business, who else you’ll be working with to ensure that you’re working with a qualified team.

Being prepared with questions can help you make an intelligent and informed decision when looking to hire a financial professional.

DISPATCHES Securities rating lawsuit headed to Indiana courts - Standard & Poor’s suffered a defeat last week in litigation accusing it of inflating credit ratings prior to the 2008 financial crisis, as a federal judge ruled that lawsuits by 16 U.S. states – including Indiana – and Washington, D.C., belong in state courts, not federal court. The states accused S&P of fraudulently inflating ratings on structured finance securities to win more business from issuers, while representing that its ratings were objective and not tainted by conflicts of interest. Many of the challenged ratings were for collateralized debt obligations and other mortgagebacked securities whose value plunged during the nation’s housing and credit crises. Most of the lawsuits were filed in February 2013, when the U.S. Department of Justice filed its own $5 billion lawsuit against S&P in a California federal court where it is still pending.

Value funds are beating growth-stock funds - If history is a guide, 2014 could be the year of the value fund. Valuestock funds have beaten the returns of their growth-stock rivals so far this year, powered by a sharp fall in some growth stocks in March and April. While growth funds recovered some of their March and April losses in May, investors’ renewed focus on valuation has persisted, market watchers say. Strategists say such dramatic changes in investor sentiment and market leadership often last a year or more.

Do you possess too-large or too-small furnishings?

When furniture is too large or there are too many pieces, the room looks crowded and uncomfortable. When it is too small, it looks as if Alice in Wonderland will enter the room at any moment and declare that the room has shrunk.

Scale and proportion are essential and are virtually impossible to gauge when considering furniture in a big box store with 30-foot ceilings.

Do you try to incorporate furnishings and fabrics with different moods?

Every piece of furniture and every single fabric have a mood. It might also be called a style. A playful cotton patterned fabric will look silly and “off” if used in conjunction with a sophisticated silk … even if the colors match.

Conversely, don’t match everything! If a store offers a bedroom “suite” complete with bed, night stands, dresser and chest, resist the urge to take the easy way out by purchasing the entire set. These are just options! Carefully blending furnishings create the most interest in interior design.

It is never too late to rehabilitate. If you are guilty of any of these crimes, remember this list when it is time to replace and redecorate. Sometimes your mistakes can be salvaged but sometimes it is better to confess and move forward with fixing your decorating malfeasance!

I am not pointing fingers but could you be guilty of any of these crimes against the decorating world? decorating Do you have “stuff” tucked everywhere?

The eye needs an opportunity to rest when it enters a room so a space that is packed with accessories and photos – just for the sake of filling the space – looks cluttered.

To avoid the disharmony of too much stuff, identify things that really matter to you.

Now, remove all of the things that you can live without and arrange only the items of importance.

Have you ever painted without a plan?

When a color is selected arbitrarily from a color deck, opportunity with fabrics and furniture goes out the window. When redecorating, there will probably be only a handful of fabrics that take your breath away. If you have pre-selected wall colors, you have probably eliminated every one of the fabrics that you would have loved.

Anything you choose after the fact will most likely be a compromise.

“Neutral” does not help as the colors that a typically considered neutral will do just as much to squelch your perfect room design as a strong color would Do you have too many focal points?

If you have several strong focal points in a room, the eye will be uncomfortable deciding where to look. Typically a fireplace, a piece of art, or a window serves as a primary focal. Secondary would be strong colors on pillows or a chair or perhaps a colorful rug. The primary and secondary focal points should work in unison to draw the eye gently around the room.

Do you buy cheap?

This does not mean that you need to purchase couture in everything that enters your home but it does mean that a cheap pillow from a discount store will look like a cheap pillow from a discount store. The adage “You get what you pay for” holds just as true in decorating as it does in the rest of life. Since it is a rare bird that does not have budgetary constraints, the best advice I can give is to do less but do it well.

Adalaj Stepwell near Ahmedabad (Photo by Don Knebel)

India’s ‘stepwells’ underground Commentary by Don Knebel Visitors to India are accustomed to looking up for the achievements of Indian architects.

But uniquely Indian structures Travel called “stepwells” lie below the surface and are as fascinating as tombs and temples. One of the most famous also comes with a classic Indian love story.

Weather on the Indian subcontinent is characterized by periods of intense rain followed by long periods of drought. Because the soil is usually not suitable for reservoirs, Indians in the fifth century began building structures with hollow stone shafts extending up to 50 feet below the surface. Steps led from the surface to the shaft’s bottom, with periodic landings allowing people to congregate on various levels. When the rains came, the structure filled with water and people drew water and bathed near the top. As water was consumed, people descended the steps until they reached the water level. Because Hindus believe waters create a boundary between earth and heaven, representations of gods and other religious symbols on the landings enabled people to engage in underground religious ceremonies surrounded by water.

The Adalaj stepwell near Ahmedabad, Gujarat,

is one of the most famous, both for its design and the story of its origins. According to Sanskrit writings on a marble slab near the bottom, the Adalaj stepwell was begun by a Hindu king named Veer Singh who was killed in battle by a Muslim leader named Mohammed Begda. Begda took over the kingdom and pined for the king’s widow, the beautiful Roopba. Roopba promised Begda she would marry him but only if he first completed her husband’s stepwell. Begda completed the project in 1499, with an octagonal shaft lavishly covered with both Hindu and Islamic images extending five stories below the surface. With Roopba’s goal of honoring her husband accomplished, she then jumped to her death in the shaft.

India’s stepwells were abandoned when the English declared them unsanitary, but many have been restored. The next time you get to India, look down after you have seen the Taj Mahal and the famous temples. Not all stepwells come with a legendary story, but all reflect the ingenuity of Indian architects.

Coconut’s super powers affect pets, like humans Commentary by John Mikesell

Over the past few years, coconut has skyrocketed in popularity for human and, now, pet consumption.

“Coconut is one of the few pets foods that can be classified as a ‘super food,’” Chanda D. Leary-Coutu, senior manager of marketing communications at WellPet, said.

What is a super food? Though it isn’t a regulated term, foods that are nutrient-dense and have a positive impact on overall wellness are labeled as a super food.

As an ingredient in pet food and treats, coconut is used in dozens of ways, from its rawest form to an added element within a complex formula. It frequently appears as coconut oil or coconut flour in many formulations.

One popular coconut product is virgin coconut oil.

Coconut is extremely beneficial for pets because it is one of the richest natural sources of medium chain triglycerides. The most abundant

medium-chain fatty acid found in coconut oil is lauric acid, which is considered responsible for many of coconut oil’s health benefits. Coconut oil is about 50 percent lauric acid, and the only other abundant source found in nature is in human breast milk.

Be sure to check with your local pet supply store for sources of coconut for your best friend.

Karma and I would like to warn everyone it is summer, do not leave your dog in the car, or your child. It just takes a few minutes for the car to become unbearably hot, even with the windows cracked. Just don’t do it. If I see a dog or child in a hot car and I can’t find the owner, I will most likely break your window, so watch out.

Indy-area shelters to host mega adoption event news@currentinwestfield.com More than 750 dogs and cats from 10 area animal shelter and rescue organizations will be up for adoption later this diversion month at the inaugural Indy Mega-Adoption Event.

The event is 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. June 28 and 29 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds South Pavilion; 1202 E. 38th St., Indianapolis. There is no admission charge, but parking at the fairgrounds is $5.

The event will allow families to adopt already fixed, vaccinated and micro‐chipped animals and take their new pet home the same day. Adoption fees are $30, less than half the price normally charged in area shelters.

Humane Society for Hamilton County is one of the participating shelters, which also includes: Animal Outreach of Shelby County, FACE LowCost Spay/Neuter Clinic, Helping Pawz, Hendricks County Animal Shelter, Hendricks County Humane Society, Humane Society of Johnson County, Indianapolis Animal Care & Control, Partners for Animal Welfare and Southside Animal Shelter.

More than 16,000 cats and dogs end up in Indianapolis shelters every year, and nearly half are euthanized. The Indy Mega Adoption Event is designed to adopt out as many dogs and cats as possible, while also opening space in local shelters.

The event is an initiative of the Love Me, Fix Me campaign, an effort led by the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust to educate pet owners and dramatically increase spay/neuter rates in central Indiana. Other sponsors include PetSmart, PetSmart Charities and Banfield Pet Hospital.

Covered porch gives family its backyard back, adds visual interest Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

ORIGINAL BACKYARD: This home, located in the Centennial subdivision in Westfield, was built in 2009. Despite the blueprint for original concrete patio improvement being large enough to accommodate an outdoor dining set and grill, the hot summers made it difficult for the homeowners to enjoy outdoor activities. Adding shade, functionality and unique design elements were the main goals of the project.

COVERED VS SCREENED-IN-PORCH: At the beginning of the design phase, the homeowners were faced with the decision to choose between a covered or screened-in-porch. “With a large family, we needed our outdoor space to be unique, open and functional. We knew having an enclosed porch would not work. We ended up choosing an open porch so the kids and dogs can freely move in and out of the house without being trapped by screened-in walls and doors.”

DESIGN DETAILS: A brushed concrete patio slab was installed complete with a rounded step for the patio door and a dedicated 3’x6’ area for the grill. Decorative 6”x6” cedar posts were installed around the perimeter of the concrete patio to support the new porch roof. Matching shingles and gutters were installed.

UPGRADED FINISHES: To give the homeowners their requested unique touches, a decorative

RESULT: In the end, the homeowners were thrilled with how the covered porch also adds visual interest to the exterior of the home. “The best part of the whole addition is finally having a shaded area that our entire family can enjoy during the warmer months.”

half wall was added next to the grilling pad including a granite wall cap. All supporting posts and new decorative trim were painted to match the home’s existing trim color. To complete the final look, white base trim and cedar corbels were added to each supporting post. Additional upgrades included a painted bead board ceiling and an extended mount ceiling fan.
