If approved, the Village Park Plaza I Planned Unit Development District could add four commercial storefronts and two outlots at Regal Cinema, 2222 E. 146th St. (Submitted image)

Plan commission holds Village Park Plaza public hearing Compiled by Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission met June 5. The next APC meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 19 at City Hall, 130 Penn St. To view the agenda, visit westfield.in.gov.

What happened: The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission held a public hearing on a proposal called Village Park Plaza I. If approved, the proposal would include four commercial storefronts and the possibility of two outlots at Regal Cinema, 2222 E. 146th St. What it means: Nobody spoke at the public hearing, although the plan commission did have some questions, including one about a change in the number of screens inside the theater.

According to the developer, the current 17-screen theater would be reduced to 11, with a 60-percent seat reduction. The investment is expected to be $8.5 to $10 million. Plan commission member Dr. Ginny Kelleher expressed concern about parking if the outlots were constructed, but OnPointe Land Matters planner Jesse Pohlman said adequate parking would be available.

What happened: The APC held a public hearing on The Trails, which requested the approval of four lots on approximately 17.5 acres at the southeast corner of Oak Ridge Road and Ind. 32.

What it means: Two people voiced concerns about the creation of a new road reducing natural watershed and the creation of more flooding at a single-family home. Petitioner Birch Dalton, with Edgerock Development, addressed both issues. “If you look at the current Anna Kendall drain and the current FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) flood map, we have done significant work on the property, and we have worked very closely with the Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office,” Dalton said. “We have an agreement with them based on calculations by engineers to do a mitigation and improve the drain throughout the whole parcel.”

What happened: Hall and House requested an amendment for monument signage requirements. A public hearing was held and no one spoke.

What it means: The original Hall and House amendment didn’t have standards for signs, and the petitioner is trying to legally establish two signs currently in place. The signs include the Monon Marketplace sign, which is approximately 15 feet high and includes 125 square feet of sign panels, and the Ricker’s gas station sign. The amendment also would include a third sign, not yet constructed, that is 10 feet tall on Wheeler Road and includes 30 square feet of sign panels.

Westfield Steel raises $2K

Westfield Washington Schools honors retiring staff

news@currentinwestfield.com Westfield Steel recently held an employee fun day to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The fundraiser company participates in the Relay for Life of Westfield each year. It wanted to create an event that would raise funds for its team this year.

“We’ve done smaller fundraising events like bake sales, but this is the first time we’ve done a bigger event that is different from what we’ve done in the past,” said Torie Thompson, HR generalist.

The event involved some good-natured teasing among employees.

“One of our managers had an idea that we should rent a dunk tank and try to raise money and see if any of the employees would be interested in dunking some of our supervisors/managers on our team. We took volunteers who were willing to get wet for the afternoon,” Thompson said.

Employees could pay to dunk their bosses. All funds raised were donated to the Relay for Life team. The group raised $630.

“It was good. Everyone had a lot of fun.

We had a lot of participation. They had a lot

of fun with it,” Thompson said.

Employees also provided lunch for the staff, courtesy of Der Pretzel Wagen food truck. In total, they raised a little more than $2,000 for Relay for Life, with 24 Westfield Steel employees participating in the May 20 event.

Westfield Steel is a family owned business that processes, supplies and ships steel to various businesses. For more, visit westfieldsteel.com.

Westfield Washington Schools held a retirement dinner during the last week of school for retiring staff members. They are: Pam Knight, who served at Maple Glen and Oak Trace elementary schools for 22 years; Beth Siminski, who served at Maple Glen Elementary School for 21 years; Jack Hart, who served in transportation for 17 years; Pam Millikan, who served in transportation for 23 years; and Beth Purcell, who served at Westfield Middle School for 18 years.

County votes to censure Hern

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Council voted 4-2 June 7 to censure councilor Jeff Hern after he accepted an agreement in council the Hamilton County Superior Court May 24 on a charge of stealing a political opponent’s campaign signs during the 2016 primary campaign.

Councilor Rick McKinney, who had his signs stolen, publicly stated he would like to see Hern resign from the council. Several members of the public at the meeting asked for the same. McKinney said it is Hern possible to remove a councilor with a two-thirds vote of the council, but that wasn’t proposed at the meeting.

At the meeting, Hern said he never admitted guilt in the case.

The signed agreement to withhold prosecution, obtained by Current, states that prosecution would be withheld if Hern, “the defendant, admits the offense of criminal mischief, class A Misdemeanor.” The document also states that Hern must pay McKinney $892.49 for the cost of the campaign

signs and send him a letter of apology. If Hern complies with the signed agreement, then “prosecution of this matter will be withheld,” according to the document.

At the meeting, Hern said, “there is no crime,” and that he only agreed to the deal because he said his attorney advised him it would cost $20,000 to proceed.

“This is surprising to me that there’s been an ‘admission of guilt,’” Hern said.

Hern’s cellphone was discovered at the scene where McKinney’s signs were stolen, but Hern said his cellphone and checkbook had been stolen from McKinney his car, a claim he reiterated at the meeting.

“We fight to get the people we want in office and get out those we don’t,” Hern said.

Hern ran against McKinney and four others in the Republican primary for three open seats on the Hamilton County Council.

Hern, McKinney and Brad Beaver won the primary and general elections. For more, visit currentinwestfield.com

Instructor achieves top designation

By Desiree Williams news@currentinwestfield.com

Pat Gaston, left, with Sean White, vice president and general manager of Montgomery Aviation. (Submitted photo)

With more than 40 years of aviation experience, Pat Gaston has been named the state’s aviation only Platinum Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot, which is the highest level designation available from Cirrus. To be recognized by the aircraft manufacturing company, a pilot must go to the factory to be trained by Cirrus, have flown 1,800 hours and complete online classes each year to renew the license.

“It’s another level of proficiency,” Gaston said. “You just keep getting better and better.”

The Westfield resident got his private pilot license in 1970 during college, but he got the itch to get involved with flying at a younger age from his father, who was involved with aviation mechanics.

Gaston graduated from Trine University with a degree in business administration and continued flying in his free time.

“It’s just going places and the different machines, and it’s kind of a control thing,” he said. “It’s almost psychological. When you leave the ground, it’s almost like all the problems you were having are going to fall away. Nothing else is important. You have to concentrate on flying the airplane.”

Gaston has been a part-time flight instructor since 1987 and moved to full time in 2003 when he joined Montgomery Aviation at the Indianapolis Executive Airport in Zionsville. Montgomery Aviation provides flight training, aircraft hangar space and a service center. As chief flight instructor, Gaston offers flight training and leads a group of 10 part-time instructors.

Gaston said he has flown 50 types of aircraft. There are still more he wants to try.

“That’s always another thing that (pilots) enjoy, learning new systems and learning new aircrafts,” Gaston said. “There’s still a bunch of aircrafts out there that I haven’t gotten checked out in, so I’d love to.”

• Favorite Buffett song: Berner isn’t sure he can pick one. “I like ‘Fins’ a lot. I like the ’Stories We Could Tell,’ ’That’s What Living Is To Me.’ It depends what mood I’m in or what’s going on. I can always find a song to relate to what’s going on.”

A survivor’s tale

Outdoor cooking

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker It must be summer because we are cooking outside! What is it about longer, warmer days that urges us to move from the comfortable confines of our cozy kitchens to brave the complexities of charcoal and imprecise temperature control? From the earliest times, we humans have maintained our precious fires inside, first in the cave, then in the hut. We understand that control over the resource is part-and-parcel to dominion on this planet. Modern ranges, heating and cooling units and other devices all reflect efforts to perfect management of our environment.

With reduced threat from wildlife and other human enemies, we came to recognize that an outdoor kitchen was both safer and cooler, especially in the heat of the summer months. Technology allowed us to conjure fires more easily and organized society begat rule-of-law and professional enforcement. Perhaps our Weber Grills reflect this move of the hearth from the cave to the lawn.

Even as improved security has allowed us to live outside without fear, upgraded technology makes staying indoors cool and comfortable. So, are we cooking out because we always have or for other reasons? Is a big fire under a big sky just a part of our DNA? Or, do we have a panoply of new justifications? What other rituals in our daily lives are an echo of some earlier, and justifiable, behavior that we continue to do nowadays more from habit than from necessity? Cooking outdoors is fun, disrupts the routine and rustles up some unusual flavors. The tradition’s modern iteration seems worthy of retention. Can we say the same for all the habits we keep?

WWS embraces social and emotional learning Commentary by Cynthia Stafford Late in 2015, Congress passed the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA, that will change the way educaparenting tors evaluate student success. According to Education Week’s Evie Blad, a major change in the law requires evaluating students on social and emotional learning (SEL) and not on academic success alone.

SEL is the lifelong process of gaining self-awareness and learning self-management. The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) identifies such skills as understanding and managing emotions, making and achieving positive goals while demonstrating empathy, self-confidence, selfdiscipline, impulse control and organizational skills. Gratitude, for instance, falls into the SEL category.

Schools are expected to address noncognitive social skills because they are major influences on workplace success just as much as career skills, wrote David J. Deming for The National Bureau of Economic Research. Non-cognitive skills motivate overall behavior, so workers with effective non-cognitive skills tend toward higher wages and less problematic, risky behaviors. Socially competent workers enjoy an overall higher quality of

life, in other words.

Parents are the natural best teachers of non-cognitive skills, but schools can support SEL in and out of classrooms, said Naomi Aldort, author of “Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves.” The educational challenge is finding clear measures that evaluate children fairly and consistently.

In the past, Westfield Washington Schools Supt. Sherry Grate said she embraces improving social and emotional support for students. WWS is researching and designing its system-wide approach to promoting social and emotional learning in all grades.

CASEL said although SEL is difficult to pinpoint in terms of standards, paying attention to it will certainly result in curricula and teaching strategies that are more inclusive and motivating for all students. Parents can take an active part and discuss with teachers their plans to address SEL in the coming years.

I survived another Memorial Weekend with the in-law family, folks – 20 kids and 12 adults, all piled into humor a 100-year-old lake house in northern Indiana. I’m pleased to report that there were no shankings or “accidental” poisonings, and that all couples emerged still sound in their marriages. But Lady Drama managed to find our little reunion, as she is want to do when that many people are working out of one kitchen and no one is sleeping.

I planned accordingly and arrived one day late, knowing that the Friday night in-processing is a hot mess. Cousins so excited to see one another they literally are bouncing off walls; brothers giddy to have a few days together to relax and catch up; and sisters-in-law eyeballing each other, trying to determine which of their bedtime routines will ultimately win out (there can be only one!).

Actually, we all get along really well and have learned to express frustrations early and often. But by the last night, defenses are gone, fatigue has set in and wine is making a play for family membership. Enter two strung-out moms trying to get the youngest down for the night after a slight misunderstanding about the agreed-upon bedtime. Amid harsh words, jabby fingers and a lobbed F-bomb, Lady D easily claims her next victims.

As a non-participant in the fun turn of events, I found the whole incident highly entertaining. Not that I enjoy seeing my sisters-in-law argue, but when both are so clearly exhausted from keeping their young kids alive in true chaos, it was only a matter of time before they’d detonate. Besides, per usual, apologies and hugs were given the next morning.

Peace out.

Jokes on you, brother Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “Are you sitting down?” my sister asked. “Our brother is about to do something a 66-year-old man seldom does humor at this point in his life.”

I called out to my wife, “Start packing, Mary Ellen. We’re going to New York for my brother’s Bar Mitzvah!”

“No,” Linda said, “it’s even a little stranger than that. He’s decided to get married.”

“OK.” “You don’t seem very shocked.”

“Not shocked, yet. Now, let’s see if he can find a wife.”

The same day, I got this text from Peter, a lifelong bachelor and NYC cab driver: “Dick, I want you to give the first toast at my wedding. Please don’t mention sex, politics, my drinking, my gambling, my bad temper or any of my former girlfriends. My fiancée’s name is Ana. She is from Peru.

That’s pretty much all I know about her.

Thanks, Peter.”

Here are some of the jokes I plan to tell on June 24.

JOKE 1: When Peter decided to ask Ana to marry him, they took a long romantic drive to the seashore, where he proposed. At the end

of the evening, he took her home, and when they got to her driveway, he turned to her in the back seat and said: “That’ll be $135.”

JOKE 2: When I met Ana, I told Peter what a lovely woman she is. Then I said, “Funny, she doesn’t look Peru-ish.”

JOKE 3: Peter asked me not to mention gambling because he said that once he tied the knot he was never going to make a wager again. “What are the chances you can keep that promise?” I asked.

“I’d say the odds are 20 to one.”

JOKE 4: My brother has had contentious relationships with women, always arguing with one, in particular. They both drank too much and sometimes went weeks without speaking. Unfortunately, that was our mother.

I won’t really tell these jokes. I want people to remember me as the caring brother who made a heartfelt congratulatory speech. And just to be sure I sound sincere, I’ll ask Mary Ellen to write it for me.

HEALTH Dispatches Sweetener or pesticide? — The artificial sweetener used in Truvia can be used as a pesticide, according to a new study by Drexel University researchers. When the researchers fed flies erythritol, the sugar alcohol used in Truvia, not only did they find that the larvae were eliminated within three days but also that the flies barely produced any eggs (if at all). So is it still safe to consume? Although it has been recognized by the FDA as safe, further research still needs to be done.

Protect your eyes from the sun Commentary by Matthew Clark, OD As the warming weather begins to draw you toward your favorite pool chair, par 3, playground vision health or park this summer, don’t forget to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet light. Short-term UV can cause uncomfortable sunburn on the surface of the eye, while long-term exposure can cause irreversible damage, including cataracts and macular degeneration. Here are a few protective measures to shield your eyes this summer.

• The first is obvious. Sunglasses!

Sunglasses protect your peepers by filtering out harmful UV rays.

However, not all sunwear is created equal. Polarization is king, blocking 100 percent of damaging UV. Sunglasses without UV protection are particularly bad, as they cause your pupils to widen, allowing even more ultraviolet light into the eye. Wondering whether your current sunglasses are polarized? Take a look at your phone or a computer monitor and tilt your head side-to-side. If the colors

change, your sunglasses are good to go! Some non-polarized sunglasses may still offer UV protection via lens material or coatings.

• If you’re a contact lens wearer and you spend a lot of time outside, tell your eye doctor you would like to try some contact lenses with built-in UV protection. Contact lenses will not protect your entire eye from the sun, but some brands filter up to 97% of UV light. Kids who play outdoor sports will especially benefit from this great technology.

• If you wear glasses most days and don’t want to switch back and forth from glasses to sunglasses, put an anti-glare coating on your lenses with UV protection in them. It’s comparable to putting SPF 50 sunscreen on your eyes, but it’ll certainly sting less.

Some call him mayor, others call him dad: Andy Cook news@currentinwestfield.com

How many children do you have?

What are their names and ages?

I have three children, Ben, Susan and Brian. They are all married with children of their own. I have nine grandchildren.

Six of my grandchildren are in the Westfield Washington School District and three of my grandchildren live in West Lafayette.

What are the top qualities you hope to embody as a dad?

I believe being a teacher to my children and grandchildren and be supportive yet a gentle guide through life’s lessons. A protector by making my family feel safe at all times, and lastly I hope I have led by example and that I continue to be a good role model for my family.

What is one thing you want your children to always remember about growing up with you as a dad?

I believed in you, I loved you and I was always fair.

In the chaos of work and life, many

dads get caught up in being the providers for their family. In light of that, how did you, over the years, find time to connect with your children?

There was a point in my children’s lives that their mother was the sole breadwinner and I was at home guiding them through life’s obstacles. During that time I was able to focus on my children and their well-being with few interruptions. Although it was brief, it showed me the value in slowing down and taking time for your family. Your children are only young once.

Beyond the Flame: Put a sizzle to your Father’s Day grilling

Submitted content and photos courtesy of Family Features.

Find tips to make your summer grilling great at omahasteaks.com.

7 steps to great steak Achieve steakhouse-worthy results at home with these tips from Omaha Steaks Executive Chef Grant Hon. 1. Proper preparation. Clean and heat your grill to high. Make sure to oil grates after cleaning.

2. Prepare your steaks. Pat steaks dry and season food before grilling. Use sea salt and freshly cracked pepper or a complete steak seasoning or rub.

3. Searing. Sear steaks over high heat and avoid moving them before they’re fully seared on all sides to protect flavor and juiciness.

4. Handling steaks on the grill. Use tongs or a spatula to turn meat on

the grill; poking with a fork can damage the meat.

5. Controlling your cook. Close grill cover as much as possible while cooking to maintain a temperature around 450 F. This helps lock in flavor and prevent flare-ups. After determining the amount of time you’ll need to reach your desired doneness, use the 60/40 grilling method. Grill 60 percent on the first side then 40 percent after you turn the steak over for an even cook.

6. Juiciness. After grilling, allow steaks to rest tented with foil for 5 minutes between cooking and serving. This lets juices redistribute for the besttasting and juiciest steak.

7. Finish and enjoy. Garnish steak and serve with style. Add colors, textures and flavors to make perfectly grilled steak even more memorable.

Total time: 1 hour, 20 minutes Ingredients: • 1 Omaha Steaks T-Bone (30 ounces) • 1 package (3 ounces) Omaha Steaks Original Beef Jerky • 3 tablespoons kosher salt Directions: Thaw steak 24-48 hours in refrigerator.

Allow seasoned steak to sit 45 minutes-1 hour, uncovered, at room temperature. Heat gas or charcoal grill to 450 F and oil grates to prevent sticking. Grill to desired doneness based on thickness of steak. Let steak rest 5 minutes. Garnish steak with remaining jerky salt.

Car show set for June 18

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Organizers have their own funny description for the Central Indiana Vintage Vehicles car show.

“We laughingly call it a no-class car show because we don’t have any classes, it’s just an open show,” said Larry Grabb, a member of the CIVV board of directors and a car collector. “I have a 1969 AMC AMX, which is kind of my favorite because I bought it new after I came back home from overseas (serving in the military). It’s what I would call a poor man’s Corvette.”

The 28th annual car show is set for 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 18 in Forest Park in Noblesville.

“We have four judged trophies we give,” Grabb said. “We have 25 other trophies we give. We figure everybody is a winner, so we draw for those other 25 trophies.”

Grabb, a Noblesville resident, said most of the organization’s members are from Hamilton County.

The four categories are best of show, best interior, best paint job and best engine.

The car show raises funds for the Elysian Foundation, which supports severely brain-damaged individuals.

“The last few years we have maxed out at 300 cars,” Grabb said. “The (Noblesville) Parks Dept. estimates we have (had) nine to 10,000 the last couple of years.”

There will be music from the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Grabb serves as the disc jockey.

The park includes a miniature golf course, swimming pool, playground and an antique train museum. There will also be a 50-50 raffle drawing.

Food and soft drinks will be available.

Dads, schedule ‘you’ time Commentary by Jon Quick Authorities are unsure who first said it, but the message is clear: “No man ever said on his deathbed ‘I wish I had spent more time in the office.’”

It’s amazing how often I hear from clients, “I just don’t have time.” That’s fine, to a point. It creates business for me. It gets concerning, though, when it’s obvious someone is working so hard that the result is havoc with family, friends and their own physical health. Yet, it happens all the time.

We schedule time for everyone else, but all too often not any time for ourselves or loved ones. First, we need to agree to a couple of principles: 1) Without a healthy “me,” there would be no business, and 2) Without the bonding of family and friends, life would pretty much be without meaning. We all know about people who have all the material things in the world but remain unhappy.

So why not start now before you become another victim who faces his final days with regret? Schedule some time for yourself each and every

day. Even if it’s just 15 minutes. Take some time to do some exercise. Step outside and breath some fresh air. Yes, stop and smell those roses. Personally, I prefer the lilacs. Enjoy a sunset with someone special. Toss the ball with the kids. Just sit alone and meditate. And, by all means, turn off your cellphone.

According to the Dept. of Health and Human Services, the longer, harder and more often you exercise, the greater the health benefits and the longer you live.

While you’re at it, train yourself to have a positive outlook, adopt a glass is half-full approach, and stay away from people who can never see the joy in anything. We all know stress is one of the biggest killers of all.

Start tomorrow. Schedule some ‘You’ time. You’ll thank yourself for it.

Cool eats: homemade gelato Commentary by Adam Aasen

There’s something romantic about sharing a cup of smooth gelato or ice cream with your loved one.

Whether it’s for a birthday recipe or an anniversary, whether it’s hot outside or cold, nothing beats a fresh scoop of these icy treats.

At my family’s business, Donatello’s Italian Restaurant, at 9 W. Main St. in Carmel, we make fresh gelato, ice cream, custard and sorbet every week. It’s something new we’ve been trying and it’s gone over great, especially our espresso, chocolate and butterscotch flavors.

Here are some tips if you’d like to make your own ice cream or gelato at home.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ICE CREAM, GELATO AND CUSTARD? Gelato is lower in butterfat than traditional ice cream. Ice cream has about 14 to 25 percent fat while gelato has 4 to 9 percent. In your home machine, you’ll use different ratios of heavy whipping cream and milk if you’re making gelato or ice cream. Gelato also is denser, with less air churned into it. Gelato is served at a warmer temperature, usually 10 to 15 degrees warmer than American ice cream.

Frozen custard is basically the same as ice cream except it contains egg yolk.

WHAT KIND OF MACHINE DO I NEED? It doesn’t necessarily matter but certain models make it a lot easier. A removable bowl and paddle for easy clean-up is almost a must. The engine doesn’t need to be super strong, as long as it doesn’t start smoking while churning thick ice cream.

Ice cream makers with built-in compressors will keep your ice cream cold and save time, but I’ve heard of people having OK results with a machine with a detachable canister that needs to be frozen overnight.

HOW DO I MAKE IT SOFTER OR FIRMER? Milk freezes, but other ingredients don’t, such as sugar, fat, alcohol or any added ingredients such as gelatin powder.

The higher the fat content is or higher the amount of sugar, then the softer you’re ice cream or gelato will be.

BIGGEST MISTAKE? Serving it too soon. Gelato or ice cream

needs about six to 12 hours in the freezer before it’s firm enough to serve.

recipe Here’s how to make sweet cream gelato. With this base, you can add flavorings such as cinnamon, caramel syrup or vanilla extract to make your own homemade gelato.

Ingredients: • 2 ounces milk powder • 6.35 ounces granulated sugar • 0.7 ounce tapioca starch • 6.75 ounces heavy cream • 24.15 ounces whole milk • 0.9 ounce light corn syrup Directions: Mix the milk powder, sugar and tapioca starch in a bowl.

Add the cream and milk and whisk well to incorporate the ingredients.

Whisk in corn syrup.

Pour the mixture into a 2.5-quart saucepan and slowly heat on mediumheat. Do not turn up all of the way.

Burning will ruin the flavor. Scrape the sides and whisk until it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature and then put in the refrigerator until completely cool.

This might take 2-to- 4 hours.

Pour the mixture into the gelato machine and turn on. Let it spin until it’s rich and creamy but still soft enough to scoop. This might take 45 minutes.

Remove from machine and freeze for at least six hours before serving.

ONE OF THOSE DAYS?

Ruins of Saturn’s Temple in Roman Forum. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A legacy of Saturn’s Temple?

Commentary by Don Knebel The Roman Forum was at the very center of Western culture for hundreds of years.

Some of the practices at its travel ancient temple may live on.

In about 600 B.C., the fifth King of Rome drained a swampy valley between the Capitoline Hill and the Palatine Hill by diverting the water to the Tiber River in one of history’s first sewer systems.

The reclaimed area became the site of the Forum, the center of Rome’s religious and political life. One of the most important buildings in the Forum was a temple dedicated to Saturn, the Roman god of prosperity and fertility. Erected in the fifth century B.C., the temple also served as the city’s treasury and a bank for wealthy Romans.

Depositors made sacrifices at the temple in the hope that Saturn would increase their wealth.

Inside the temple was a large wooden image of Saturn. His feet and legs were bound by woolen straps, removed each year at the time of the winter solstice. The unbinding, symbolizing liberation signaled

the beginning of a raucous celebration that began with sacrifices at Saturn’s temple.

The celebration, called Saturnalia, continued with gift giving and a temporary suspension of laws governing social behavior.

Slaves were given a week of freedom and the right to control their masters. At the beginning of Saturnalia, a man down on his luck was selected as Lord of Misrule to symbolize the turning of society upside down. It was a time of drunkenness and permissiveness.

Saturn’s Temple was rebuilt in the fourth century after a devastating fire. All that remains from that temple are eight granite columns. But the spirit of the temple may survive in some of the traditions of Christmas, including gift giving, which many scholars believe were adopted from Saturnalia when Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire.

Let’s STOP THE ABUSE, once and FOR ALL!

A PRIMER PRESENTED BY

DEBUNKING MYTHS AROUND ELDER ABUSE TO BETTER PREVENT IT To celebrate World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (held annually on June 15), numerous organizations come together to denounce the widespread abuse inflicted on the elderly and inform the general public on ways to help put an end to this alarming problem.

But first, in order to better recognize and prevent abusive behaviors committed against our seniors, we must debunk certain myths that unfortunately remain well rooted in popular belief. Here are four:

ON JUNE 15, WEAR YOUR PURPLE RIBBON IN SOLIDARITY!

1. Abusive acts against the elderly are often committed by strangers. In reality, abusive behavior is more often committed by close relatives like family members, spouses, children or friends.

2. Victims of elder abuse often report violent incidents. The elderly are frequently torn between the affection they harbor for the abuser and the need to report cruel incidents that they experience. Sometimes, they may be dependent on the individual who is mistreating them, while other times they may simply be unaware that they’re the victims of abuse.

3. The elderly are incapable of making the right choices, especially informed financial decisions. The majority of seniors are more than capable of adequately managing their expenses and personal business. Their cognitive abilities don’t actually degrade as much as people may think, unless they have a specific illness.

4. Seniors who receive higher incomes are more at risk of experiencing abuse. Any elder can be the victim of abusive behavior, regardless of social status or financial standing.

On June 15, wear your purple ribbon in solidarity!

WHERE WE STAND BrightStar Care vigorously opposes any and all forms of elder abuse. The elderly are our cherished links to the past, and they deserve to live their lives with honor, dignity and respect. That’s what we stand for, and from that we never will waver. We urge all others in our realm and beyond to join us in this effort.
