Westfield Washington Schools holds forum

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At a June 12 school safety forum, Westfield Washington Schools addressed existing safety procedures, community partSAFETY nerships, new safety procedures and other topics following a May 25 shooting at Noblesville West Middle School that injured a teacher and a student.

Mayor Andy Cook and Westfield Police Dept.

Chief Joel Rush began the forum by sharing some thoughts. Rush said he was still emotional about the incident.

“I was standing in the parking lot of the police station next to one of the other officers just catching bits and pieces of what the radio was saying, and I heard ‘active shooter’ and ‘Noblesville,’ and my heart dropped to my stomach,” Rush said.

Rush said WPD sent eight officers to assist with Noblesville and that if Westfield were to experience a similar event, it would receive the same assistance from other municipalities.

Following his comments, various speakers presented on social and emotional learning and how to best protect the district’s students and staff.

Improved safety procedures include adding a school resource officer to the district in the coming year. There are currently two

SROs – one each at the high school and middle school. In addition to SROs, each elementary school has one school counselor, with multiple counselors working in grades 5 through 12. Other enhanced safety procedures include utilizing school buildings as police

substations.

“What we plan to do is to test and roll out a new program this coming August to get officers out of their cars a bit,” WPD Assistant Chief Scott Jordan said. “(We will be) working with the school administration during school days when school is in session and change how we do business. (Officers) will be welcomed in the schools and have a workspace to complete their reports. With just a change in the system, we will drastically increase the number of times uniformed police officers and police vehicles are on the property and in schools.”

With the upcoming construction to renovate the high, middle and intermediate schools, Director of Human Resources and Safety Chris Baldwin said school entrances will be examined. Also, all visitors will be required to complete a background check before entering the school. In addition, trauma packs will be supplied to school nurses.

Following the forum, attendees were asked to participate in table discussions and formulate answers to questions about school safety procedures. The district said it plans to evaluate the responses and talk about them at a symposium scheduled for 6:30 p.m. July 19 at Westfield High School.

Mayor Andy Cook called the day historic for the city.

“We are just absolutely thrilled to begin this process this coming month,” he said. “We want to show people that the City of Westfield has a heart. We want to show that people of all states, counties and cities around us are welcome here on this massive campus.”

The camp is in preparation for the Colts’ 35th season in Indianapolis. In addition to Colts City, the interactive experience open during each practice day that includes photo opportunities, inflatables, a picnic area and other attractions, the training camp will include themed days such as sunrise yoga, community day and Bike to Camp day, among others.

eryone here at Grand Park,” said Carlie IrsayGordon, Colts vice chair and co-owner. “This really is a world-class facility, and it’s the perfect place for our team to gear up for the season.”

During camp, the NFL’s clear bag policy for gamedays will be in effect in areas that require a ticket. The camp is free to attend, but

attendees must acquire a free ticket available at colts.com/camp. A full schedule and updates are available on that site as well.

To conclude training camp, the Colts will host joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens at Grand Park Aug. 17 and 18. The Colts’ first preseason game is Aug. 20 at Lucas Oil Stadium against the Ravens.

Former columnist writes book

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Karl R. Zimmer III, his first book has been a work in progress for several years.

“I came up with the idea of AUTHOR RULE (Respect, Understand, Love & Enjoy) more than 20 years ago, while still working in the paper converting, packaging printing business,” Zimmer said. “Some experiences inspired me to share what I had learned, and I thought about writing a book. I began writing it more than 15 years ago, though the format was unclear.”

Zimmer, a former Current Publishing columnist who lives in Plainfield, released his book “The Boy Who Grew Up to RULE the World, and how You can too!” in 2017.

“My intention, though evolved over the years, was always to instruct and inspire younger readers,” he said. “I also wanted to present the book and story in a way that would instruct and inspire older youth and adults, which gave me the idea of writing it as a fable.”

Zimmer, a board-certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, runs Zimmer Success Group.

“Much of what is in the book is indeed

an extension of and inspired by the work I do, and also of the personal development I went through during a difficult time in my life,” he said. “I felt it was important to share what I learned with others so they might benefit, and that remains one of the driving forces in my life.”

His next book has the working title, “Four Simple Steps to Profit in Harmony” and is forthcoming. Zimmer said it will be an extension of his first book but with a focus on leadership and organizational success.

STAFFING THE CITY Police, fire chiefs talk personnel, Colts training camp

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield Police Chief Joel Rush and Westfield Fire Chief Marcus Reed believe they have their staffing COVER STORY bases covered for Indianapolis Colts training camp and the growth of Grand Park tourism. The chiefs said Grand Park has little affect on the volume of calls.

“Part of the reason that is, is while there might be a huge influx of people in the weekend at team (events), they aren’t all there at the same time,” Reed said. “There are morning sessions. Groups come in and play, and then they leave. It’s not just inundated.”

Since 2010, the City of Westfield has grown by nearly 8,000 residents, with an estimated population of 38,338. Also in 2010, the city had 40 police officers. It now has 50. Moreover, firefighter staffing increased from 53 to 72.

Rush said there are approximately 1.2 officers per 1,000 citizens. He said the ratio is sufficient for the city.

“We would all like to be at 2.0 (officers per 1,000 people), but we have continued to grow as the city has grown,” Rush said.

During next month’s Colts training camp, police will be staffed at Grand Park to assist with the influx of people and events during the three weeks in late July. Rush said the department will handle it by eliminating vacation and training time for officers during

that period so that the normal number of officers will stay on road patrol while officers also staff training camp. Reed said a similar approach will be used by EMS staff.

Rush said during Colts camp, the safety of the city will not be jeopardized because of staffing Grand Park with police officers.

“It won’t affect numbers on the shift. We will stay within the minimum of what we need on the street, but we can move people around and do two things at once, basically,” Rush said. “We will just become more efficient.”

Reed said the fire department’s footprint

“We are going to have a unit out there and staff with overtime and do an EMS cart on (busier) days,” he said. “That really isn’t in addition because there’s already events out there and we staff that EMS cart, anyway.”

Rush said although the number of police officers may seem low, it matches the city’s Uniform Crime Reports, which is a national statistical account of data on crime in a specific area conducted by the FBI. The UCR is the lowest the department has seen since 2010, even though the city’s population has increased. According to the Westfield Police Dept.’s 2017 annual report, WPD saw a decrease in theft and battery charges but an increase in robbery charges.

Critical replies

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker As the tide rolls in with the phases of the moon, the afternoon surge of email and other communication is predictable. New information is posted, articles published and requests sent. We go to our mailbox, whether encountering physical correspondence or the electronic sort, to address the interactions.

Some is of the marketing variety, trying to draw attention to their product, service or nonpprofit. Some is of the business variety, updates to balances, changes to agreements or reminders for needed action.

And still more is of a weighty collection of matters – personal and business letters, checks and deposits or pressing decisions that require our input. We triage, sort and ameliorate each. Most are quickly scanned and recycled. Others are processed and cataloged. But a few require response.

Questions are asked with the sender holding motion until our rejoinder.

With note of the irony, it is in this very most important of the categories where we often procrastinate. Setting aside critical matters for future consideration, we postpone our attentions until some other, nonspecific time. When a message contains three questions (two to be answered with little thought and one requiring some deliberation), we respond only to the two, ignoring what must have been the most pressing in the mind of the sender.

Shouldn’t we make clear our intention to answer (or not) the unanswered at some defined point yet to come? Like an undiagnosed and selective attention deficit disorder, are we dancing around the most difficult and, one could surmise, most critical while paying clear attention to the inconsequential?

ID thieves are close Commentary by Steve Carman We all hear how widespread and severe the ID theft problem has become in our nation. One thing still remains certain for all: ID thieves get better all the time.

Steps you took to protect yourself a few years ago are simply not strong enough to protect you today. Approximately 99 percent of thieves want a quick score without spending a lot of time and resources.

Here are some tips: • Put a cover or small piece of paper over the VIN number on your vehicle’s dashboard. That number is key in obtaining additional information about you. If I have your license plate number, VIN number and address, I can get your name off of a simple internet search.

• Check your mail daily. A lot of people simply don’t retrieve their mail from their mailbox on the same day it was delivered. Get your mail as soon as you can out of your mailbox, never leave it there overnight and consider a locking mailbox.

• Shred junk mail. The free credit card solicitations – shred them. Most of the time, all a company needs is an acknowledgment and signature and a credit card is on the way. If an ID thief intercepts the solicitation, he

signs it for you and puts a note with it along with a change of address on where to send the card.

• Rethink your need to enter every sweepstakes you encounter. You are just one good raffle drawing away from the new Ford or Chevy of your dreams. Realistically, the chances of you winning are extremely small, and you give away a ton of ID information just to be eligible.

• Freeze your credit. Notice, I don’t say hire a credit monitoring service.

Know the difference. A credit monitoring service is like hiring a home alarm company to tell you your home was burglarized after the fact. A credit freeze is like an alarm that makes an ID theft virtually impossible by locking up your information.

Remember, when protecting your ID, take the time to plan two to three moves ahead. There is no perfect defense to any theft, but with a small bit of planning you can dramatically lower your chances of being a victim of identity theft.

Driving to the coast this summer? You’re in luck! Based on recent experience, I’ve developed a cost-benefit analysis of the various options. You’re welcome.

HUMOR Like my youngest sister, your first choice might be the standard, “Leave Early in the Morning and Drive All Day.” On the plus-side, everyone gets a good night’s sleep and drivers are alert for the trip’s entirety. But on the negative, sticker charts and coloring books won’t distract toddlers for long, and the late afternoon traffic will have everyone in tears before arrival.

Only opt for this route if you have access to a prep team with chilled wine.

My middle sister decided to split the 12hour journey in two, driving roughly 60 percent on Friday and the remainder on Saturday. Benefits included significantly less lumbar pain, a decent amount of sleep and pool time for her young teenagers who couldn’t possibly spend one more second on their phones. Of course, the downside was the cost of a hotel room and the dead battery she discovered at the onset of Day 2. Prep team, we’re gonna need more Chardonnay!

Doo and I elected last-minute to drive straight through the night. There was virtually no traffic, only one Cracker Barrel stop and markedly lower brattiness levels among our kids. But my eyes started crossing around 1 a.m., Doo almost killed us outside of Asheville with his sleep-deprived impersonation of a Formula 1 racer, and our entire six-pack was on the verge of mutually assured destruction as we pulled up to the beach house that wouldn’t be available for another eight hours.

As you can see from this analysis, your best bet is to fly. Peace out.

My 2 cents Commentary by Dick Wolfsie If you were the last person leaving your favorite restaurant and the only umbrella in the coatroom looked just like HUMOR yours (but you knew it wasn’t yours), would you take it? That would be very wrong, and I wouldn’t do it. Unless, of course, it was raining.

Here are some hypothetical situations and how I would advise anyone faced with these dilemmas: Q: I have been a waitress at a steak house for 35 years and I have taken home a bottle of ketchup every night since 1985. I now have 9,000 bottles in my garage. Now I feel guilty but don’t want to get in trouble just before I retire.

A: Returning them all at once would raise suspicion. Return them the same way you acquired them. So, delay your retirement or eat there every night until 2040.

Q: When traveling I take the little bottles of shampoo and conditioner from the hotel bathroom. The desk clerk said the business expects it and that’s why they put their name on the products. I recently picked up a Sony TV and a General Electric hair dryer from the Westin. Should I stop?

A: Only after you cross the border.

Q: My neighbor doesn’t know I mow his lawn when he’s at work. It’s driving him crazy that his grass never grows. Should I tell him?

A: And ruin this perfect practical joke?

Hey, here’s my address. Wouldn’t it be funny if my car never got dirty?

Q: My fiancé bought a hideous felt hat and I’m embarrassed to be seen with him. Each week, I secretly replace his hat with an identical one, but about a quarterinch bigger. John thinks his head is shrinking. Do you think he’ll figure this out?

A: Heavens, no (see letter below).

Q: Recently, I have come to the realization that my head is shrinking. I’m probably dying. Should I tell my fiancée what is happening? I don’t think she knows.

A. You have underestimated her (see letter above).

Now, in my own life I am facing a real ethical conundrum. I will tell you about it next week. I look forward to your advice.

Because of the volume of mail I receive, I can answer each response personally.

Common running injuries Commentary by Dr. Joseph Hui Common overuse injuries can affect the hip, knee, lower leg, foot and ankle for runners.

Injuries to the SPORTS MEDICINE hip typically can be separated by location: groin, anterior, lateral and posterior. Injuries to the groin may include labral tears or stress injuries to the femoral neck located near the top of the femur bone. Physical therapy and a period of relative rest can be helpful.

Anterior or frontal hip pain may be associated with iliopsoas tendinopathy or strain, while lateral or side hip pain is typically associated with gluteus medius tendinopathy. For issues related to tendinopathy, eccentric strengthening and tool-assisted soft tissue massages are often helpful. Posterior hip pain is often due to a pinched nerve, either due to piriformis syndrome or from sciatica. Pain from this issue can be alleviated with core strengthening exercises.

Injuries to the knee also can be separated by location: kneecap, joint line, lateral and posterior knee. By far the most common cause of knee pain from running is from improper knee biomechanics resulting

in pain around the kneecap, which is called patellofemoral pain syndrome. Orthotics, strengthening of the knee and hip and cross training, such as biking or swimming, are good ways to treat this issue.

Lateral knee pain can be caused by a tight IT band, which is attached to the knee and helps stabilize and move the joint. Rolling on a soft foam roller and other forms of soft tissue massages can help stretch and loosen the connective tissue to reduce the pain. Posterior knee pain often results from hamstring tendinopathy. As mentioned earlier about tendinopathy, eccentric strengthening and tool-assisted soft tissue massages can be helpful in this case.

Lastly, for runners older than 40, one common reason for knee pain at the joint line is due to wearing away of the cartilage, also known as arthritis. Transitioning to low impact running and knee and hip strengthening can help treat arthritic pain.

According to the Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development, the state will need to fill 1 million jobs in the WORKFORCE next decade. More than one-third of those jobs will be new or growth occupations. Hamilton County will need to educate and train around 50,000 of those workers in the next decade.

To facilitate the growth, Clark Ivy Tech Community College and Gaylor Electric are partnering with Launch Fishers, all Hamilton County school corporations and 26 additional employers to organize the Hamilton County Workforce Innovation Network. The network has been awarded a $1.46 million Skill Up grant from the Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development.

“The requirements of the grant were based on an occupational analysis of the county,” said Dan Clark, vice chancellor of Ivy Tech Community College-Hamilton County. “They were looking at where the middle skills job demand is, and it turns out it’s in construction, manufacturing, business and finance, health care and information technology.”

Within each of those sectors, HCWIN will focus on training high school students and re-training individuals currently in the workforce.

“In each of those five sectors we’re identifying strategies for high school students to get engaged in career opportunities, education and training programs,” Clark said.

“Also, in each of those sectors we’re figuring out how to retrain, re-skill and up-skill adults who are either in the workforce and need more training, or not in the workforce and want to re-enter it but need more train-

ing. It’s focused on strategies to do both.”

The need for new employees or retraining current employees is largely because of retirements and changes in technology.

“The really new aspect to it is how do we up-skill or re-skill the adult workforce?”

Clark said. “Employers might train their employees but it’s not systematized.”

The goal of the network is to keep Hamilton County up to date with the needs of the job market. For more, visit in.gov/dwd/ skillup.htm.

Youth piano competition showcases talent, offers scholarships

By Maria Cook editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Klavier International Piano Competition will PERFORMANCE return to Carmel for its fifth year. From June 27 to July 1, artists ages 5 to 18 will compete for awards and scholarships.

Competitors represent 16 states and 15 nations, including China, the United Kingdom and Russia. Areas of competition include solo, duet and concerto.

Carmel Klavier President Irina Gorin has more than 35 years of experience teaching piano to grade-school students, both in the Ukraine and the U.S. After several years of observing other international piano competitions, Gorin realized there was a need for a more inclusive competition which could bring youth from around the world to Carmel.

“I always was taking my students to numerous local, national and international competitions and was not happy with politics, venues, judging system, rivalry and high costs in many,” Gorin said. “I always wanted the competition for youth to be a celebration of talent, encouragement and motivation for children. I had this idea of bringing young talents from around the world to Carmel and giving them the opportunity to showcase their talent in beautiful buildings and stages as well as to attract world-renowned judges and artists to educate the youth and perform for the Carmel community and competition participants.”

In addition to competing for scholarships, such as the $16,000 scholarship offered to a selected finalist by Indiana Wesleyan University, Carmel Klavier participants also compete for a variety of prestigious opportunities. In 2017, 9-yearold Lauren Lo, Fishers, was a recipient of the Contemporary Composer’s Award presented by Elena Cobb. The award includes an opportunity to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London, where stars such as The Beatles and Julie Andrews have performed.

2017 Trio Girls. From left, Carmel residents Katerina Folkin, Chenyao Liu and Chendi Liu.

“I got to play on Elton John’s red piano,” Lo said after her April 5 performance.

Lo’s mother, Christine Lo, said Carmel Klavier has changed the way her daughter approaches piano.

“The experience has given her more confidence with performing in public and has inspired her to practice even more,” Christine Lo said. “The camaraderie and energy in the recital hall was electric and definitely something she will cherish for a lifetime. Opportunities of this nature are so positive and give young performers like Lauren a chance to connect with other young pianists and to see the world.”

For older competitors, Carmel Klavier can be an important starting point for

their musical careers. Ari Brown, Carmel, competed in Carmel Klavier in 2014. He is now 21 years old and studying music composition at the New England Conservatory of Music and Computer Science at Tufts University in Boston.

“Whether or not I won, practicing to compete at the rigorous level set by the Carmel Klavier both developed work ethic and creativity that I can now apply to problem-solving in so many other fields,” Brown said. “Practicing for my performance, attending master classes and engaging with the other performers at Carmel Klavier were invaluable experiences in my path to attending New England Conservatory of Music. The Carmel Klavier strikes an unprecedented balance between rewarding excellence and celebrating the arts with everyone, which is a difficult task in competitive environments. All competitors walk away feeling a sense of personal accomplishment, which is the type of support that fueled my desire to continue into a creative major.”

Carmel Klavier will take place at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Selected finalists also will have an opportunity to perform solos, concertos, duets, ensembles and the pieces of featured composers at The Palladium in Carmel.

GHDT presents ‘Hunchback’

By Heather Collins editorial@yourarecurrent.com Through his craft, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre company dancer Isaac Jones expresses the hunch and humanDANCE ity of Quasimodo.

Gregory Hancock of GHDT said Quasimodo is the most challenging role he’s ever created for a dancer. Jones doesn’t have a fake hunch on his back.

Instead, he finds different ways to contort and distort his body to portray the central character of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” like bending, lifting and changing his footing.

“I feel like every time I run it, I find new ways to find that distortion within the character,” Jones said.

GHDT’s production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” set for 7 p.m. June 29 and 30 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, reminds people to look past appearances. “(Quasimodo) is not the suave, handsome man,” Jones said. “But in the end, he’s one of the most beautiful characters in the show.”

Taylar Green, who plays Esmeralda, said

GHDT’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame’’ premiered in 2005 and is one of Gregory Hancock’s favorite pieces. This is the first year new dancers will take on the roles of Quasimodo and Esmeralda. (Photo by Noah Alatza)

she believes the characters connect so well because of their humanity.

The show is one of GHDT’s most elaborate and intricate full-length ballets and a favorite of Hancock’s. The performance will be the closer for GHDT’s 20th anniversary season.

“The story is so beautiful and tragic, and then to interpret that into dance is really beautiful,” Hancock said. “It’s my all-time favorite piece.”

Tickets are $42.50 for adults and $37.50 for students and seniors. For tickets, visit gregoryhancockdancetheatre.org.

CONCERT “It’s nice playing with other bands whose music you admire and enjoy,” Simmons said. “To check out what they’re doing every night is a big perk for other musicians, to be able to suck in the talent and artistry.”

The Doobie Brothers will join Steely Dan in a 7:30 p.m. concert June 24 at Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center. The Doobie Brothers toured with Journey in 2016 and Chicago in 2017. The Doobies will join the Eagles for concerts in San Francisco and San Diego in September.

“It’s kind of standard to give concertgoers a little more bang for their buck,” Simmons said. “Our entire career we’ve performed with other bands on and off. We play some shows on our own, too. These tours are a little more upscale.”

Simmons, 69, couldn’t imagine being part of the Doobie Brothers this long when they formed in 1970.

“I didn’t even think I’d be alive this long, to be honest with you,” Simmons said. “It’s

a gift, for sure.”

Simmons said he’s been fortunate to work with great songwriters. He wrote several songs for the Doobies, including the No. 1 hit “Black Water.”

Simmons has been the one constant in the band. Tom Johnston had to take a leave of absence for health reasons in 1975 and was replaced by Michael McDonald, who brought a more soulful approach. Johnston eventually quit the band in 1977. The band disbanded in 1982 with McDonald pursuing a solo career. The Doobies reformed in 1987 with Johnston back on lead vocals.

Mark’s take: Welcome to Italian cuisine at its finest. Donatello’s is the perfect restaurant for an unforgettable dining experience. With its casual yet sophisticated and elegant atmosphere, this is a restaurant that has it all. The menu is brimming with the best of Italian cooking: Ravioli, spaghetti, pizza and so much more. Make some time and take an opportunity to try Donatello’s.

It is amazing.

What to get: The easy choice, for me, is always lasagna. However, I went another

Blueprint for Improvement: Meridian Kessler three seasons room Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background info: This 1925 bungalow in the Meridian Kessler neighborhood of northern Indianapolis was the perfect space for the owner and family, but the backyard lacked the same charm the rest of the home possessed.

The goal was to create a space that the homeowner and family can utilize throughout more of the year for leisure and entertainment.

1. The largest transformation came from eliminating the deck and replacing it with a three-seasons porch. The porch was created using EZE-Breeze Venting Windows, which allow for up to 75 percent ventilation.

2. The interior of the three-seasons room was finished with the addition of a gas fireplace, plank-wood flooring and a lighting plan.

3. The exterior of the porch addition was finished to match the remainder of the home, making the addition appear as if it were a part of the original home.

4. Another major change came from the addition of a stamped concrete patio with a seating wall and gas fire pit.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The backyard had minimal space, as do many homes in the Meridian Kessler neighborhood, so the homeowner wanted to find a way to better utilize their space throughout more of the year. The back of the home lacked hardscaping and landscaping.

Water jar in City Palace in Jaipur, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Jaipur’s giant silver jars Commentary by Don Knebel According to the “Guinness Book of World Records,” the world’s heaviest silver objects are two enormous jars on display in Jaipur, India. An identical jar lies at the TRAVEL bottom of the Red Sea. In the 18th century, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II constructed a city in northwest India to be the capital of his Amber Kingdom. He named the city Jaipur after himself and erected an imposing palace near the city’s center. In 1876, important city buildings, including the palace, were painted pink to celebrate the official visit of Queen Victoria’s son, Prince Edward, making Jaipur the Pink City. Upon Victoria’s death in 1901, Edward, now King Edward VII of England and Emperor of India, invited Jaipur’s then-ruling maharaja, Madho Singh II, to his coronation.

Hindu religious leaders conditioned Madho Singh’s trip on finding a ship that had never served beef and carrying with him sufficient water so that he and his entourage would never have to use English water for drinking or bathing. A brand new

steamboat satisfied the first condition.

The second condition was met by filling each of three identical silver jars with 900 gallons of water from the sacred Ganges River. Each jar, made from 14,000 melted silver coins, was more than 5 feet tall and weighed 750 pounds. During the ship’s passage through the Red Sea on the way to London, the waters became unusually rough. Worried Hindu priests on board convinced the maharaja to placate Varuna, the god of the sea, by tossing him one of the silver jars, after which the trip proceeded without incident. The maharaja attended the king’s coronation and the king inspected the maharaja’s water jars. The two remaining jars are now displayed inside Jaipur’s pink City Palace, where guards use their mirror-like surfaces to assure that their turbans are positioned correctly.

DISPATCHES Extend food life — Here are some tips to help food stay fresh longer: 1. Use glass instead of plastic storage containers 2. Milk can be frozen for up to six weeks 3. Freeze leftover tomato paste or sauce in ice cube trays, then store in baggies in the freezer 4. Separate apples, potatoes and onions. Stored together, they will spoil faster Source: MSN.com

Keep tools on the table — To keep X-Acto knives, pencils or any round tools from rolling off the table, put zip ties around them. Tighten the tie around the tool, then clip off the excess.

The zip-tie head acts as a stopper.

Crispy cookies — To keep crispy cookies from getting soggy, lightly crumple a piece of tissue paper. Place it in the bottom of the cookie container under the cookies. This allows limited air movement, which will enhance the crispness.

Charles "Fred" Prine Carmel - Born to a humble Indianapolis home, Fred Prine worked his way up the ranks of the metal trade, founding Westfield Steel and leading a major industrial trade group into the 21st century.

Charles F. Prine, 73, of Carmel, died early Monday from pancreatic cancer.

He was born in Indianapolis on May 16, 1945 to Charles L. Prine, a worker on the Allison Division's fighter engine line, and Annabelle (Satterlee) Prine. They raised him in Indianapolis and the Illinois towns of Pekin and Paris. He returned to graduate from Broad Ripple High School in 1963.

During the day Prine worked on the loading dock at L.S. Ayres and Company before catching on as an inside salesman at Indianapolis Machinery, a downtown steel service center. At night he attended Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

After rising to become Machinery's operations and sales office manager, in 1976 he jumped to Chicago-based Metron Steel. In the same year, he wed Karyn P. (Van Korn) Prine and tried to convert her into an Indiana University basketball fan.

Prine rose to become Machinery's operations manager but he left in 1977 to help found Westfield Steel, Inc. Initially envisioned as a warehouse attached to an established fabricating shop in rural Hamilton County, Prine turned it into a large regional service center. He acquired Terre Haute's Shaw Equipment Company in 1995.

With Karyn on his salesforce, Prine became the sole owner in 1999. Ten years later, Westfield launched a trucking subsidiary and, in 2016, purchased Ohio-based Remington Steel.

He served on the board of the North American Steel Alliance, a purchasing cooperative for metals service centers in Canada and the United States. As the group's chairman, he oversaw a push to recruit new members. Today, the organization boasts 121 steel companies that combine to generate nearly $9 billion in annual revenues.

Prine was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by wife Karyn, sons Carl and Fritz, and grandchildren Mia, Spencer, Marcus, Oberon and Maeve.

Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 13, at Washington Park North, 2706 Kessler Boulevard West Dr., in Indianapolis.
