Library begins major construction

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Westfield Washington Public Library parking lot has a few less spaces as construction equipment is in place to begin work on the building’s exterior portion of the development 7,000-square-foot expansion and renovation.

“It’s kinda scary and exciting all at the same time,” library director Sheryl Sollars said. “I said I wouldn’t believe it until the shovels went into the ground.”

Sollars said construction will take six to seven months with the project to be completed around Christmas or the New Year.

“We’re starting with the addition and walls and then will move into the inside,” she said.

Sollars said the $2-million facility renovation would include cosmetic work and space reallocation will provide greater efficiency by creating one desk for check out. The project also includes a designated computer lab/business center and study rooms that will provide meeting areas for four to six people with one room capable of holding eight to 10 people. The

new teen area also will have study rooms.

One of the biggest needs of the library would be addressed by the construction. A 1,000-square-foot community room will be built in the lower area of the library. The space, which has a capacity of 125 people and includes a kitchen, will provide an area for programming and for community organizations to meet.

“Our programming continues to increase in attendance and we have not added any programming space since 1994,” Sollars said.

Despite all the changes, Sollars believes the construction will not affect patrons or cause the library to close.

“We plan to stay open throughout the entire process. I’m hoping we don’t have to close at all,” she said.

The library has incurred one disruption though.

Construction requires the library to move its gas line so heat for the building has been temporarily shut off. Sollars said the new line should be installed within a month.

“We’re the place to be cool,” she joked. “I can’t imagine if they were doing this in the winter.”

ON THE WEB

DVD Review Christopher Lloyd is not sure what’s harder to watch: a movie that starts out well and then collapses or a film that never had any idea how to be good in the first place. That’s the case with “The Call,” a tightly-coiled thriller that is really suspenseful through the first two acts and then rolls off a cliff during the last half-hour.

Concerts and ’cuffs – The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office along with the Indiana State Excise Police has made a concerted effort to curtail underage drinking during performances at Klipsch Music Center. Recent concerts such as Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Zac Brown and May Day have resulted in more than 50 arrests per concert between the two agencies. In addition to alcohol offenses, arrests for marijuana, false identifications, and other charges have been made. Officers will continue their efforts to promote safety at the music center throughout the concert season.

Accident report – From Jan. 1 to May 31, the Westfield Police Dept. responded to 183 motor vehicle accidents. Police said the top five locations with the most accidents are Greyhound Pass and U.S. 31 (12), U.S. 31 and 169th Street and Ind. 32 (10 each), and U.S. 31 and 151 and 161 streets (eight each). The top five accident causes are following too closely, failure to yield to the right of way, unsafe backing, driver inattention and improper turning.

Dean’s list – Lauren Stitz of Westfield was among those honored on the Lewis University Dean’s List for spring semester 2013. Stitz was studying Business Administration at Lewis Unviersity. To be eligible for this honor, students must have completed a minimum of 12 semester hours of credit with a GPA of 3.25 out of a possible 4.0.

Old testament ways

A wind-and-hailstorm caused enough damage to columnist Mike Redmond’s roof that it needed fixed.

Bids were taken and before long, roofers were hired and then promptly disappeared for six weeks. Until they arrived early one Sunday morning costing Redmond his beauty sleep and providing material for his column.

Since Andy Ray can’t keep some people from biblically justifying their discrimination against homosexuals, he’s decided to simply give up and join their ranks. This means he’ll limit his understanding of marriage to Old Testament passages and will have to also believe (and act on) the other 613 ancient Jewish laws expressed in the first five books of the Old Testament.

Bands finish on a high note news@currentinwestfield.com

The Westfield Middle School seventh- and eighth-grade concert bands earned Superior ratings at the Music in the Parks Festival in Hershey, Penn.

The two bands comachievement peted against six bands from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia and brought home four trophies. Each band received superior ratings in Class AA and the eighth-grade band finished first overall. The fourth trophy, the Esprit de Corps, was especially special to WMS Band Director Sarah Rivers.

“I was extremely proud of both bands’ perfor-

mances,” she said. “The Esprit de Corps award was the most meaningful because the students displayed outstanding character and demonstrated our guiding principles.”

All schools were eligible for the Esprit de Corps award, but it only is awarded to one school. WMS received the honor for demonstrating proper social behavior as well as musical behavior/encouragement and for possessing the qualities of highly successful people who are sensitive to others and applaud accomplishments for all schools. The bands were evaluated from the time they arrived at the festival site until the awards presentation.

Marketplace opens first season

By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com As 5 p.m. approached on June 14, an assortment of Marketplace at Westfield venders hopefully glanced around as customers started to flow into the Ameriana Bank downtown parking lot, 3333 Ind. 32.

With it being the first Friday Marketplace of the summer as well as the first summer where there wasn’t a Westfield Farmer’s Market held downtown, venders were not exactly sure what to expect. However, as more cars parked and more prospective buyers entered the makeshift marketplace, venders’ hopes increased.

Rob Garrett, manager of Ameriana Bank as well as the coordinator of the Marketplace at Westfield this year, is overseeing the weekly event. So far, everything is going smoothly, he says. By drawing a map and providing each of the 27 venders a specific space in his parking lot, he knew he would be able to accommodate everyone.

After getting approval from organizations such as the Downtown Westfield Association and City Hall, Garrett was able to put together his plan.

“I contacted the prior Westfield Farmer’s Market and got a list of the names of the venders,” Garrett said. “I contacted them and a few people also contacted me, so now we have a total of 27 venders who will be participating.”

“I honestly think it’s awesome that Ameriana stepped up because we originally thought we

wouldn’t have the market this year, and we figured that our business would take a cut,” college student Emily Rairdon, working for Pet Lover’s Organic Bakery, said.

With the new Marketplace taking place on the corner of Ind. 32 and Carey Road, cars passing by have a direct view to the venders’ different tents, especially since the Farmer’s Market was slightly hidden before.

“It’s a very visible location,” said Scott Yelich, a four time Westfield Farmer’s Market vender.

“Hopefully it does well.”

The Marketplace at Westfield is from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday nights at the Ameriana Bank parking lot. For more information, visit www.ameriana. com/home/community/events or the Ameriana Bank Facebook page.

Gardeners help Janus’ garden grow

By Kathleen Devaney • news@currentinwestfield.com A growing community effort has helped to cultivate gardens in front of Janus Developmental Services in Noblesville.

Philanthropy Janus Developmental Services helps individuals with disabilities develop their place in the community. The gardens provide learning opportunities for the members of the Janus community.

Donations from Key Bank, Home Depot, Duke Energy and many other organizations have helped to fund the garden project, said Shannon Smith, director of adult services at Janus.

“The involvement from the community is tremendous,” Smith said. “The idea is to strengthen the natural supports for individuals that we serve through community partnerships.”

The completely donated project could not have been made possible without the efforts of the Hamilton County Master Gardeners, Smith said.

The Master Gardeners is a community service program using gardening and horticulture to provide education as its focus, said Bill Rice, the extension educator of Master Gardeners.

Before the partnership with Master Gardeners, the garden only featured a small vegetable garden, Smith said.

“From what the garden looks like today, it’s completely different,” Smith said.

On May 30, the Master Gardeners seeded a

short grass prairie mix and planted some natives, Smith said. The Master Gardeners maintain the gardens on a weekly basis in the summer and come in to teach the individuals served by Janus how to plant and grow their own food, Smith said.

“By having this partnership with the Master Gardeners, we build friendships,” Smith said.

Considering the population that Janus serves, a grant from Grace Community Church will be used to start work on handicap accessible ramps in the gardens, Smith said.

“If there’s one thing that people can do to help this project, it would be to provide financial support for the ramps,” Smith said.

Divorce – What To Expect: Controlled Expenses In Indiana in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties (typically the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are based on the concept that one parent undertakes paying for the primary costs of the child(ren); therefore, that parent “controls” the children’s expenses and receives support to assist with these costs.

Who pays these costs? In any matter where child support is exchanged, the child support payee, or support recipient, is responsible for the child(ren)’s “controlled expenses.” For example, the custodial parent buys a winter coat for the child. The noncustodial parent will not be obligated buy another one and the coat will travel back and forth to both residences. In general, these controlled expenses account for 15% of the cost of raising the child and are factored in the calculation of support accordingly.

Along those lines, the more time the parents share, the more expenses are duplicated and transferred, and are thereby “shared” under the child support calculation and are balanced through the parenting time credit.

Alternatively, transferred or duplicated expenses are incurred by both parents.

Expenses such as food and transportation are incurred by both parents during the periods the children are with them and “transfer” between the parents. Similarly, duplicated expenses arise as a necessary part of maintaining two households for the child(ren), such as the costs of the residences themselves, which are not transferred when the child(ren) move(s) from one parent’s residence to the other. These costs/expenses

remain fixed in each parent’s household and, accordingly, are considered “duplicated” expenditures.

What are controlled expenses? Controlled expenses for the child(ren) are not those which are typically transferred or duplicated between households.

Unlike transferred or duplicated expenses, controlled expenses are items like clothing, education, school books and supplies, ordinary uninsured health care and personal care. Unfortunately, there is no exhaustive or comprehensive list. The controlled expenses are those fixed expenses of the parent who is (generally) receiving child support under the Indiana Child Support Guidelines.

Controlled expenses are generally not a consideration unless there is equal parenting time. The Guidelines also note that these categories of expenses are not pertinent for litigation. They are presented only to explain the factors used in developing the parenting time credit formula. In reality, it is not uncommon for disagreements to occur regarding the controlled expenses, for instance, in both definition and application of any provisions needed to assign these costs to one parent or the other. If you find yourself in such a situation, you would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel in reaching a resolution to the issue at hand.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Artist’s renderings illustrate the concept of the proposed Grand Junction project. (Submitted photos)

Park will serve as a catalyst for development

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield has three current projects that will shape the city’s landscape for the future.

Grand Park, the campus designed to be cover story a premier sports destination for the whole family, is in its final stages and will open next year. The U.S. 31 Major Moves project nears it final two years as construction heads north from 146th Street and site work begins at the U.S. 31-Ind. 32 intersection.

And the third massive project in Westfield is Grand Junction Park and Plaza, a 120-acre programmable space for all seasons south of Jersey Street between Mill and South Union streets.

Grand Junction is envisioned to include trails, wetlands, a sledding hill, plazas, an arts garden, a water play area, a nature play area, a great lawn, a performance venue, a play lawn and a vendor area.

“It’s a programmable and functional park,” parks director Melody Jones said. “It fits in real well with Grand Park. People coming to tournament games need something to do.”

Officials said the focus of Grand Junction is to create a place for connections so downtown Jones will be the heartbeat of the city, pumping new energy in every direction.

“I’m amazed how many people don’t know where downtown Westfield is. We have an identity problem in Westfield,” Downtown Westfield Association Executive Director Ken Kingshill said. “There’s no courthouse square or municipal complex. No place in our downtown that could Kingshill be considered a hub… (When Grand Junction is completed) there’s always something going on there. That is where the fun is.”

In addition to connecting family with friends, nature, history and popular regional trails, roadways and waterways, Grand Junction will provide places to dine and shop. Development is planned for retail, restaurants, office space and residences.

“Grand Junction is a catalyst for economic development,” Kingshill said.

Grand Junction also will be the connecting point of the Anna Kendall and Midland Trace Trails, allowing for access to Westfield’s complete trail system and other points of interest throughout the community. Pedestrian-friendly streets will invite visitors and

Grand Junction master plan

residents alike to explore both the park and plaza and area restaurants and shops.

“There’s nowhere else in the state of Indiana where two major trails intersect,” Jones said. “We want to maximize the space for citizens to utilize.”

The city demolished the first property it acquired for Grand Junction during the Christmas season. Jones said that to date, the city has purchased eight homes and demolished two at 135 Park St. and 110/112 Jersey St. She said the other six will be demolished later this summer.

“Three others have purchase agreements; two will be bought in 2014 and one is closing in 2015,” Jones said. “The city has acquired almost a block and a half of the old downtown area.”

The city began purchasing land in 2011. To date, Jones said the city had spent $962,401 to buy the land, test for asbestos and perform demolition. The remaining properties’ appraised values totaled $1,169,425.

“None of it came from taxpayers,” she said, adding funds were used from bond proceeds, TIF funding and park impact fees. “If we had the funding, we’d probably have all the properties now.”

While the city purchases and clears land, one major obstacle must be removed before construction can begin.

Land aquisition map

A significant area of land in downtown Westfield falls within the floodplain of the Anna Kendall, Cool Creek and Thompson waterways. Additionally, storm water detention requirements make development challenging on small parcels of land like many of those in Grand Junction. To free more land for development in downtown, the city has started work on a regional detention system.

“Regional detention has to happen before we start building,” Jones said. “We’ve really shortened the process by three years with regulatory red tape.”

“It was the biggest hurdle,” Kingshill said.

In addition to saving time, the regional detention saves money.

The project is slated to take place as INDOT works on the U.S. 31/Ind. 32 intersection. As the city begins creating its detention system and ponds, the excess dirt will be used by INDOT for the overpass.

“It saves the city hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Jones said.

“It literally adds six figures (of funding) to our project.”

Jones said significant construction could begin as soon as next year, with the Grand Junction portion beginning in 2015.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Celebrate the 4th and take stock

Good for the goose It is our position that federal government employees should not be exempt from inclusion in health care coverage mandates under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Isn’t it interesting that Congress has exempted the country’s largest employer, the Federal Government – which includes themselves – in complying with 20,000 pages of new health care regulations, mostly comprised by politicians and tax attorneys.

All lead by none other than the scandalridden Internal Revenue Service who will be managing State Exchanges, i.e. the health plan clearing houses for uninsured individuals seeking health care plans. Already, employers are dropping coverage altogether in lieu of paying the “tax” and deferring employees to the exchanges to save costs, as evidenced by thousands of part-time workers being dealt with decreasing hours. In the world of economics, “There is no such thing as a free lunch.”

However, not all members of Congress feel they should be exempt, which is why bill H.R. 1780 has been introduced to provide that the only health plans the Federal Government may make available to ALL of its employees are those created under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or offered through a health insurance exchange. What’s good for the goose, should be legally mandated for the gander.

Lead a horse to water Commentary by Terry Anker They say you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. As we mature in our abilities to lead others, it becomes abundantly clear that getting folks to take note of opportunity is only, at best, half the battle. In fact, identifying prospects is costly and labor intensive; and, failure to convert those prospects, once discovered, actually could put us in a worse place than if the potential had never been uncovered. Finding the water and getting the horse to it without having a plan to get it to drink only serves as an expensive distraction for us and an annoyance for the equine.

We routinely develop employee skills through internal training, a regular reading list and outside training and support. The Hamilton County Leadership Academy is a highly effective (and affordable) form of on-going personal development.

Organizers call the year-long, monthly classes “a leadership program that identifies and prepares informed leaders for our community. Program

participants are brought together by their commitment of time, energy and expertise and their desire to be involved in Hamilton County.” In my experience, it motivates emerging leaders within our companies by exposing them to the best of their peers – and the networks built are good for business.

This year, the good folks at HCLA have asked me to proctor the class. While I am honored personally to have the chance to work with this group, I am tasked to make sure that 2013-14 is a standout year.

Available to Hamilton County residents or those with business or civic activities within the community. The deadline is June 30 for applying at www.hcla.net or to Jill Doyle at jdoyle@hcla. net or 379-1879.

With a week and two days to go, we’re hopeful you’ve marked your calendars for Westfield Rocks the 4th. If not, please do so now. (We’re quite the social advisers, no?)

Now in its fourth iteration, the one-day festival has grown in vendors and attendees the last three years, and we expect nothing less from 2013’s edition. At Asa Bales Park, the city’s largest gathering will feature a twice-as-large Headliner’s Car Show and an expanded lineup of offerings in the Kids Area, as well as stellar live entertainment by Dave & Rae and Stella Luna & The Satellites. On top of that, Mill Tavern will have a beer garden, and there will be more diverse food options than ever. Go. It’s good for you and good for our community.

This is continuing proof that our city is on the rise. It’s a wonderful occurrence, when events grow to mirror a municipality’s progress. That evolution is evident throughout Westfield. So, as you celebrate our nation’s independence, take a moment, please, to reflect on how far our city has come in a relatively short time.

May it continue. Enjoy the festival.

Divorce should be an OK choice Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I cannot believe that so few women got worked up about my column on pornography!

Granted, my editor cut a few key humor phrases that involved a search engine and the female anatomy, but still, I’d hoped to elicit a little more backlash.

Maybe I’ll have more luck with this one.

Why does divorce still have such a stigma attached to it? In this day and age, why do people still whisper the word like it’s some communicable disease? Let’s get real here.

Sometimes two people fall out of love. Sometimes they should have never gotten married to begin with. And sometimes circumstances arise that completely change the playing field. During the last year, I’ve watched two close friends go through divorces, and though they’ve each struggled, I personally applaud their choices to call it quits. Frankly, I was tired of always hearing of their misery and frustrated that they weren’t doing anything about it.

Were these tough decisions? Certainly. Especially when children are involved, divorce is not a matter to be taken lightly. But after years of counseling and continued unhappiness, both had reached their breaking points. Neither of their marriages was going to get better, so why spend another moment feeling angry and bitter and subjecting their children to an unhealthy relationship? Now, at least they have the oppor-

tunity to find love again, to be happy again, and their kids can see Mommy and Daddy actually getting along. Hopefully.

And I know this isn’t true in all divorces, and maybe not even in most, but for both of my friends, their communication and interaction with their ex-husbands is the best it has been in a long time. They are doing fantastic jobs of coparenting and of helping their kids understand that divorce is a good thing for their families.

Will everyone need counseling? Yes. Are the children struggling? Yes. But in my humble opinion, if a couple decides that its family will be better off through divorce, then it really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Naysayers need to shut up and start being supportive. And for Pete’s sake, they need to stop bringing up religion. Divorcees experience enough guilt without supposed loved ones reminding them about their commitment before God. Part of what makes us human is our propensity to make mistakes. God understands that, so why can’t we?

Divorce is never ideal, but in a less-than-ideal world, I think it should at least be a valid and respectable option.

Peace out.

AUTISM CLINIC OF INDIANA

New hope for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans Accepted Genetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing “While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments.

Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having difficulty making friends?

• IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions?

• FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home?

• HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep?

• ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions?

If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing.

Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.”

Retiring minds want to know Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My wife was confident that her retirement would be an easy transition to make. One day she would be hard at work at the humor office; then suddenly, she wouldn’t be. Simple as that. But for the first half of June, she kept asking me what day of the week it was, and when I went back in the bedroom one morning while she was still sleeping, she opened her eyes and asked me if I had an appointment.

Our first vacation to celebrate her retirement was to South Carolina for a look at historic Charleston. We always have great guides, but my problem is that I can never remember anything they tell me. But when I hear something interesting like: “The slaves were instructed to whistle while transporting the master’s dinner from the kitchen to the dining room, to ensure they didn’t sample the food,” well, I’ll never forget that little tidbit.

At one self-guided tour site, we placed headphones on and hung a recording device around our necks. We were then directed to the first room of this celebrated home of someone whose name I don’t remember who did something I never heard of. But the real problem was that my wife and I did not push our start buttons at exactly the same time. The result was that when her headset was telling her to look up at

a 200-year-old chandelier, mine was instructing me to behold the magnificent original carpeting. Seeing me look down, Mary Ellen thought I was uninterested and kept poking me to pay attention. Of course, I thought she was just in a daze looking up at the ceiling, so we were both wondering why we paid 40 bucks apiece to be totally bored.

The other problem with the tape was that they tried to time the narration with what was a normal person’s speed of walking, so it was only after I fell down three steps and crashed into a mahogany credenza that I was cautioned to “Watch my step.” At one point I turned the wrong way in a corridor and bumped into Mary Ellen. The audio was telling me that what I was looking at was a true original but was in need of some restoration. I never told my wife why I was laughing.

We are back home now and Mary Ellen is enjoying her leisure time. She’s even started cooking again. The other night she prepared a delicious meal and asked me if I would mind carrying the dish out to our back porch. I was happy to oblige, but I wish she hadn’t made me whistle.

Members of the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will close out their season with “A Legend of Eternal Love” June 28 and 29 in the Center for the Performing Arts Tarkington Theatre. (Submitted photos)

Intimate setting heightens dance’s impact

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Performing arts groups enjoy bringing back well-received works from their repertoire, and the Gregory Hancock Dance Dance Theatre has a particularly good excuse for making “A Legend of Eternal Love” the centerpiece of its seasonending program June 28 and 29.

The enduring love story seems right for a space more intimate than where it premiered a few years ago: Pike Performing Arts Center. The troupe is now one of the resident companies of the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, and the Tarkington allows the audience to feel closer to the tale of Shah Jehan, a 17th-century Muslim emperor of the Mughal dynasty who built the world-famous Taj Mahal (in Agra, India) as a memorial to his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Hancock’s vision of this ennobling story involves an artistic vision that fuses choreography with apt costumes and jewelry.

“Those details can be appreciated a lot more,” he said, “in a more intimate venue.”

Also getting a new theatrical setting is the company’s revival of another love story from India: “Devdas,” the story of childhood sweethearts whose reunion after a long separation comes too late for them to find fulfillment. It shares a tragic cast with “A Legend of Eternal Love,” but without its uplifting outcome, where the emperor and his beloved are “reunited in spirit,” Hancock said.

A new work that suits Hancock’s theme joins those two story ballets. “Fire of Love,” set to Iranian music, involves two couples.

“One is wearing traditional clothing,” Hancock said, “and the other couple is more bare. It’s all about imagery and a little bit of the clash of cultures (within Islamic societies).”

Hancock said that his wish is not to disdain traditional Islamic dress, such as the burqa — styles that sometimes seem repressive to Western eyes.

“You can be covered up and be beautiful and a little more exposed, and that can be beautiful, too,” he said. “I see this contrast as the starting point for people to talk about why people are dressed this way.”

Natalee Cooney, a six-season veteran of GHDT, is one of four dancers in “Fire of Love.” Her challenge is to create the role of the woman in the burqa.

“How do I identify as an artist and as a woman with that woman?” is the question Cooney says she has posed to herself.

She said that Hancock’s choreography both reflects the limitations of this maximally covering garment and projects the beauty of movement enhanced by the burqa. The two women “have complementary steps and movements,”

Cooney added, so must work out how each interprets her role.

“As a Western woman who doesn’t have that knowledge, this has been a opportunity to educate myself,” Cooney said.

Control and confidence about moving in space are vital to a dancer, so a confining costume can also present a steep learning curve.

“It’s definitely a challenge,” Cooney said.

“Some peripheral vision is lost, and if you’ve seen (Hancock’s) pieces before, the movement is very fluid and athletic. There are some movements that are static and subtle, but I’m moving a lot in this piece. I have to rely on my male partner (Phillip Crawshaw), and he’s great!”

Performances are at 7 p.m. June 28 and 29 at the Tarkington, Center for the Performing Arts, 3 Center Green, Carmel. For tickets, call (317) 843-3800 or go online at www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Toss plums and 2 tablespoons honey in a large bowl. Liberally brush a grill rack with oil. Grill the plums, flesh side down, on the rack until lightly browned – about 3 minutes. Turn and grill on skin side until plums soften and are warmed through – 2 to 3 more minutes. Serve 2 plum halves with 3/4 cup yogurt immediately.

As the summer months (and temperatures) reach a fever pitch, what are parents to do when the weather is too hot or the rain just Theater won’t stop? Well, one choice might be to check out the local movie theatres. There, parents will find cinematic alternatives, not to mention a respite from the heat and a plan B for rainy days.

At the Hamilton 16 IMAX, 13825 Norell Rd., Noblesville, the $1 Kids Summer Movies offerings began June 10. Advertised as “Nine Weeks, Nine Movies,” the family-friendly films are shown Monday through Friday at 10 a.m.

“The attendance has been outstanding,” said Hamilton 16 General Manager Mitch Ross of the response to the program. “Goodrich has done this now for the last six or seven years. For the first two years, no other theaters were doing any kids movie programs, so we were really busy for the kids’ shows.”

For many families, the program provides welcome relief to ever-rising movie admission and concession prices.

“We stay mindful of the rising movie prices,” Ross said. “So, we give discounts on families and large groups. We want this to be an affordable experience for parent and kids. That is why admission to these films is one dollar for everyone, adults included.”

The overwhelming response to the kids summer movie series is, for Goodrich Theatres, a return on

an investment in the community.

“It is a way for us to give back to the community,” Ross said. “Goodrich theaters are located in small towns throughout the Midwest. We love having the free kids show in every community. We have a strong base clientele. This is our way of thanking them. It’s a way of taking care of the customer we already have and gaining new ones.”

Hamilton 16 is not the only local theater offering discounted shows. Regal Village Park Stadium, 2222 E 146th St., Carmel, also offers $1 kids movies through their Summer Movie Express shows at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Infant eye exams are critical to development

Commentary by Tammy Wittmann, O.D.

• Trip to the Pediatrician • Trip to the Dentist • Trip to the Eye Doctor Really? My infant needs to see the eye doctor?

Cooing, sitting up and crawling are all signs that your baby is growing. Your optometry baby’s vision goes through important stages, too. Did you know eye problems can occur without noticeable symptoms?

The American Optometry Association and The Vision Care Institute of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. have partnered to create InfantSEE, a

In a study looking at how people order from menus with no labeling, calorie labeling and labeling showing how much time it would take to burn off food items with a “brisk walk,” those that had the third labeling option picked low-calorie meals and even ate less. – The Week

no-cost public health program developed to provide professional eye care for infants nationwide. Through InfantSEE, optometrists provide a one-time, comprehensive eye assessment to infants ages 6 to 12 months, offering early detection of potential eye and vision problems at no cost, regardless of income.

Eye doctors have instruments and resources not available to general-care doctors like pediatricians and family physicians.

“This extensive eye assessment gives parents the peace of mind that their infant’s vision is developing properly”, said Dr. Tammy Wittmann of Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center.

A study conducted by the American Academy of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus in

1999 found that at age 8, children who did not receive infant screenings for vision issues were 17 times more likely to have amblyopia, a condition often referred to as lazy eye and is a leading cause of vision loss in people younger than 45.

An eye and vision assessment is an important step in making sure your baby is learning to see properly.

Emotional control – A bizarre study at the University of British Columbia has found that acetaminophen, the major component of Tylenol, can do more than cure a headache. It can “calm existential dread.” The study had people doing depressing things like brainstorming what will happen to their own bodies when they die, and those that took Tylenol instead of a placebo were less disconcerted by the process. – The Week Mood uppers – Studies have found that olive oil, salmon and walnuts all seem to have a good shot at assuaging depression. With a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts and salmon have a good chance of being uppers, and large amounts of olive oil could mean a lower chance of being depressed. – www.webmd.com

• Competitive prices are due, in part, to the tightening inventory. Last month, 229 homes were available for sale in Westfield, which is 30 percent fewer compared to May 2012.

• In Hamilton County, homes stayed on the market an average of 81 days in May 2013.

In contrast, homes spent an average of 103 days on the market in May 2012.

• Of the home sales in Westfield last month, one was priced more than $2,000,000; one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; seven were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 14 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 23 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 33 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and six were priced at $99,999 or less.

The balance is tilting toward a seller’s market, but there are still great opportunities for buyers to find an array of houses at various price points.

July 4th is one of my kids’ favorite holidays.

They love being able to wear red, white and blue, and they especially love fireworks. crafts Because it is truly one of their favorite holidays, I always try to do a little bit of decorating for the holiday. This year, I decided to make a patriotic wreath.

This wreath would be perfect for the Fourth of July or Memorial Day, but it is also perfect to leave up all summer long in my opinion. Plus, it is really inexpensive to make and also very easy to create, as well.

Here is what you will need: Styrofoam wreath form, 1/4 yard red or burgundy felt, 1/4 yard light gray or white felt, 1/4 yard navy blue felt, pinking shears, low temp hot glue gun Directions: Cut felt into strips approximately 1-inch to 2-inches wide and 9-inches long using pinking shears. I cut my blue felt about 2-inches wide, the red felt about 1.5-inches wide and the gray felt about 1-inch wide.

Use hot glue to secure felt strips around the Styrofoam wreath form. Overlap felt strips so that no foam shows and be sure to have all your ends meet on the back of the wreath form.

You can put the stripes in any order you prefer, but I kept all my blue in one area and then alternated the gray and red felt. But feel free to use your creativity.

Cut three large circles using the gray felt and

pinking shears.

Starting on the outside, cut the circle into a spiral, leaving a small circle in the center intact.

Starting on the outside of the spiral, roll the felt into a flower and secure to the small felt circle using hot glue.

Hot glue the flowers onto the wreath.

Enjoy your patriotic wreath.

Eyes that pop. Summer’s a great time to experiment with bright colors. Yolanda Hall, makeup artist at NjS Studio in Zionsville, says “Brighten your look for summer. Change out regular black or brown liner for a fun color.” Consider taking a break from eye shadow and invest in a bright eyeliner or mascara. Emerald green and teal are hot colors for this summer. If you’re addicted to your eye shadow try using a primer or a cream based shadow so that it can withstand the heat.

When the weather heats up, it’s almost always a given you’re likely to end up with sticky lipstick, sliding blush and eye shadadvice ow that just won’t stay. Summer makeup should be fun, easy and light – not a sweaty mess. So what’s a girl to do?

Here you’ll find some tips and tricks to keep your summer makeup looking fresh and beautiful.

Invest in a primer. Primers work to smooth and keep makeup in place. Apply after moisturizer and before makeup, and you’ll end up with great results. A study by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute found primer helped volunteers’ makeup hold and look better throughout the day, even after a stint in an 80-degree, highhumidity chamber.

Throw out foundation. Well don’t completely throw out your foundation, just put it aside until fall. Instead try a tinted moisturizer. They’re less heavy and won’t get cakey in the heat. Some even come with added SPF, a great bonus for sunny summer days.

Brighten up your lips. If it’s too hot to wear a full face of makeup (light as it may be) a great lip color can really pull your look together. Hot pinks and vibrant corals are great for summer and are it colors for 2013.

The mirage of decorating between commercials Commentary by Vicky Earley

For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US

The American public is showing no signs of abandoning its passion for the immediate gratification of HGTV decorating. While it has engendered a passion for the interiors home, this condensed variety of decorating has instilled the idea that an inspiration can grow into reality between commercial breaks.

These are expectations that no mere mortal interior designer can live up to without an entire staff, crew and cameras on hand.

We are being duped into believing that a room can transform in 30 minutes with no sweat and no budget. Unless your designer is adorned in glitter and has a pixie countenance and wand, expect the reality version of the decorating shows.

In a one-hour show, we witness homely rooms that are mystically transformed into beautifully decorated spaces on budgets that would fit in a piggy bank. If you contact a decorator and expect the same metamorphosis in your home, it is very likely that you will be disappointed.

Have you ever considered how this cable TV magic can happen week after week? The answer is quite simple: labor and promotional discounts. Now cut to the real world, where your budget not only has to cover materials, furniture and accessories, but also your decorator, your carpenter, your interior painter, your drapery fabricator, your installer, etc. and reality can bring

True decorating takes more than 30 minutes. (Submitted photo)

the curtain down on your naivety.

Time warp is another major symptom of too much HGTV. A client who holds dear the belief that a space can be developed in an hour, a week or even a month is headed for the same frustration and disappointment as the one who expects to do it “on a dime.” Quite simply explained, good design takes time.

A beautiful space that appears so effortless on the flat screen is actually the product of hours of communication and research in real life. Once decisions have been made, furnishings and fabrics must be ordered. Custom or specialorder furniture can take as long as 12 weeks for completion. Custom draperies can take six to eight weeks before installation. In the meantime,

there are other workers who must be scheduled, including painters, installers and on and on.

Keep in mind that your decorator has the ability to visualize the completed project and veering from the prescribed design plan could lead to a less than desirable outcome HGTV is great for quick ideas and inspirations, but real life demands realistic expectations. When those are in place and you have connected with a professional who has earned your trust, step back and then let your decorator work real magic.

Basement expansion designed to meet variety of needs

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing basement: Built in 2010, the owners of this ranch home in the Cobblestone neighborhood in Zionsville were looking to expand their livblueprint for ing space. improvement “I moved here with my father who is elderly,” said one of the homeowners. “Then my sister moved in, too. We wanted to add more space in the home.” The unfinished basement provided the perfect opportunity to get the functionality they needed.

Design considerations: The homeowners had specific needs for the basement space: two bedrooms, an office, an exercise room, a media/ family room space, an area for light food prep and more than one bathroom. Considerations like existing plumbing and egress for the bedrooms drove the placement of many of the rooms. And, though the bedrooms would be used by just one family member and his visiting children, the rest of the space was to be shared by the whole family. Allowing the less mobile family member access to the shared spaces was important as well, so a stair lift was included in the plan.

Dual bath design: The shared yet private nature of the space was a particular challenge

Before for the design of the bathrooms. Rather than relocating plumbing to another part of the basement for a second bathroom (a costly alternative), the design called for two bathrooms in one.

The access from the shared space takes users into a half bath which has a door that leads into a full-bath complete with steam shower. The full bath has access to the master bedroom as well.

Natural light and open floor plan: The finished look from the main level of the house was brought into the basement through the design and material choices. Interior glass windows provide lots of natural light into the space. White crown and base molding helped brighten the space as well, and keeping the ceilings as high

After as possible kept an airy feel. The large square footage of the basement allowed for spacious rooms. Using a peninsula to divide the family room and the wet bar area helped define the functionality of each space while keeping the open flow.
