AD:

Steve Henke didn’t get a chance to celebrate being inducted to practice law, at least not right away.

MILESTONE He was clerking at a firm in downtown Indianapolis in 1977 when attorney E. Davis “Dave” Coots asked when Henke would be eligible to begin taking cases. Henke gave his answer, and Coots assigned him a jury trial for the following day.

“He actually handed me a jury trial, so I couldn’t go celebrate that evening with the rest of my friends,” Henke said. “He and I have often laughed about that, an attorney having a jury trial the first day they’re practicing law.”

Thus began a friendship and business partnership that inspired the two men to open their own law firm in Carmel, where they worked together for more than 20 years. Henke left the firm to become a developer, but Coots, 75, still works full time at Coots, Henke & Wheeler at 255 E. Carmel Dr. Coots recently became a Westfield resident.

In May, the Indianapolis Bar Association honored Coots for 50 years of work in the profession. He has no desire to slow down anytime soon.

Coots grew up in Farmington, Ill., a small town west of Peoria. After graduating high school, he went to Monmouth College with plans to become a veterinarian, but a professor with a law degree encouraged him to change course. A couple of years later, he began taking classes at the IU School of Law. He got his first job in law as a clerk at Locke, Reynolds, Boyd & Weisell — the firm where he later met Henke — and passed the bar exam in 1969. He and his wife, Nancy, purchased a home in Carmel’s Woodland Springs neighborhood, and Henke soon moved nearby.

The two men began carpooling to work, and during the commute they would discuss the possibility of opening their own firm. The Blizzard of ’78 gave them a final push to make it happen.

“We had so much snow that you couldn’t go to work,” Henke said. “We got together and talked about the actual planning of how we were going to do our law firm.”

Coots & Henke opened July 1, 1978, inside a Fidelity Bank building on the southwest corner of 116th Street and Range Line Road.

joined the team in 1980. The firm quickly outgrew the space and had plans to move into a new office building on the north side of Carmel Drive, but delays led Coots and Henke to purchase land from the Carmel Racquet Club and build in front of it instead.

They’ve since expanded the building and dedicated much of it to space for mediation, a service that allows greater flexibility for the attorneys compared to a courtroom.

As Coots worked to launch his own law firm, he also served in city government. Voters elected him to the Carmel City Council for a term that lasted from 1976 to 1980, and during that time he also served on the Carmel Plan Commission. He helped create the Meridian Corridor overlay zone, which he said has turned out to be much better for Carmel than he originally envisioned.

Throughout his career as a full-time lawyer, Coots has made time to serve his community, too. He has volunteered as chairman of the Carmel Chamber of Commerce and served as a board member for the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation, Indianapolis Bar Association and its foundation, Carmel United Methodist Church and elsewhere. He serves on the board for Actors Theatre of Indiana.

A father of two and grandfather of two, Coots enjoys traveling, fishing and playing golf, which he takes more time to do now than he did early in his career. He’s been to 25 European nations and plans to continue exploring the world with Nancy, his wife of 55 years.

What separates happy marriages from miserable ones?

Surprisingly, it’s not healthy communication. It’s not conflict resolution skills. It’s actually the size of the marriage’s joy gap.

“The hot dog-eating-contest will be right by the stage,” Lingg said. “That is put on by Frank’s Franks. This will be the fourth year.”

Six participants, who are selected through an application process, are challenged to eat five hot dogs, buns included.

Whoever consumes them the fastest wins.

KnockerBall, also known as bubble soc-

cer, will be added to the kids’ zone, which is on Fields 4 and 5 at Grand Park. All activities in the kids’ zone are free. There will be inflatables, bounce houses, slides, face painting, balloon artists, caricature artists, cornhole and other offerings. The kids’ zone activities will be from 2 to 9:30 p.m. except for Knockerball, which is 4 to 9:30 p.m.

Vendors will begin selling items at 2 p.m., the same time the event starts. In previous years, it began at 4 p.m.

“Basically, this is to have more exposure for our vendors,” Community Events Coordinator Kelley Wells said. “A lot of attendees showed up early in the past and it’s to be more in line with the car show.”

The Westfield Lions Club will conduct the car show in Parking Lot G. This is the second year the Lions will play host to the car show. All proceeds benefit the Indianapolis Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Registration will be from 1 to 4 p.m. with judging from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Awards are presented at 6 p.m.

VIP parking will be available in Parking Lot G and will be offered in two options – one slot is for 2 to 10:30 p.m. and a shorter slot is for 7 to 10:30 p.m. Spots are $10 per vehicle.

Fireworks will begin at 10 p.m.

In addition, the Indianapolis Colts’ traveling museum will be on-site to promote the team’s training camp, which begins later this month.

The city still is looking for event volunteers. To volunteer, purchase hot air balloon rides or learn more, visit westfieldwelcome. com.

ESSAY

LETTERS Good work

Safety check

Editor, I just moved to Westfield and started receiving Current in Westfield. Danielle Wilson’s columns crack me up every time I read them. Keep up the fabulous work, and I look forward to reading more great information.

Libby Sermersheim, Westfield

Commentary by Terry Anker

The pleasure craft that find their way beyond the intercoastal waterways of our fine nation’s eastern seaboard are often equipped with what is best called a “panic button.”

While there are many retail names, essentially this small bit of technology, if depressed, will summon the nearest Coast Guard vessel to come to the rescue. It casts a lifeline to recreational boaters who find that circumstance, or their own personal or equipment limitations, have taken them past the point of no return.

They need help – and the handheld gadget summons it.

Still, it is not to be taken lightly.

Even an accidental activation of the device will bring forward all the force and glory of our federal military apparatus. Helicopters, ships and boats of every size and shape are likely to appear. And, for the boy who cries wolf, the penalties can be considerable. But in the rare instance that the storm is raging and our limits have been reached, even exceeded by considerable margin, the contraption often is a lifesaver.

Most of us will not find ourselves riding the waves of the open sea in anything smaller than a Caribbean cruising colossus. If the ship goes down, someone else is largely responsible for our safety. But when we are all alone on endless water, how are we expected to mitigate our risk? Even in our land-loving daily existence, where is our panic button? And if we press it, who will come running? Even more, have we kept the channel open and the device fully charged? If we cry out for help, do we have confidence that someone is listening?

We venture into our lives with very little worry of the risks we take. Yet, shouldn’t we occasionally check the batteries in our lifeline?

Tale of two towns

Toeing the line for dad Commentary by Danielle Wilson I was hanging with a couple of sisters-inlaw last weekend and, of course, we got to talking about our kids. While our conversation could and did go in many direcHUMOR tions – puberty, college, the latest obsession with K-pop sensation BTS – we kept coming back to the inalienable truth that children are far better behaved with dads than they are with us, the women who carried them for nine-plus months, painfully birthed them and then spent two to seven years forgoing sleep for feedings, diaper changes and debilitating anxiety.

Why? Why are our precious little angels manipulative, cajoling, brat demons perfectly willing and able to employ emotional blackmail when they’re in our presence, but are obedient, compliant, tongue-tied yespeople when they are in the company of their fathers? How are these sub-adults able to so quickly and effectively wear us down, but unable to make even a dent when dealing with their sires?

To be fair, we all acknowledged that as moms, we naturally are putty in their hands.

From the beginning, we’re just too tired to offer much resistance, and that fatigue, though it changes as children grow, doesn’t lessen with the years. When infants/toddlers/tweens/teens cry, we soothe by any means necessary. And kids are smart; they learn quickly that pushing back when mom’s around will eventually yield results, but with dad, they’re taking a risk. He hasn’t been on the frontlines of breastfeeding debacles and hormone attacks, of battling powerful emotional swings and perceived threats to our babies. He’s usually fresh to the fight, defenses in place and operating at max capacity.

Alas, we found no answers, but enjoyed laughing at our maternal weaknesses.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Don’t give up the ship!”

-James Lawrence, U.S. naval captain

Editor, On a recent trip, I drove through the downtown of Westfield, Ill., or rather, what is left of it. As Wikipedia reports: “Reflecting the city’s economic decline, much of the downtown area consists of boarded up and abandoned buildings.”

Driving into vibrant Westfield, Ind., provides an amazing contrast. The towns shared some similarities: Historically in agricultural areas, with some businesses and a small college.

I am thankful for the hard work of the Grand Junction Task Group, along with the foresight and support of the mayor, city council and others in the community. While there has been investment needed for this growth, there has also been preservation, encouragement of business and development of public trails and spaces, including the new park and plaza that will take the place of the flood-prone eyesore.

Barbara Grider, Westfield

Reflections of a grump

Buying Selling Buying Or Or Selling A A Home?

Home?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie When I wrote a column about things that annoyed me, some readers called me a grump. Others wondered why HUMOR the list was so short. To validate both sentiments, here are a few things I forgot: I hate the commercial for Prevagen. This memory-enhancing supplement’s main ingredient is harvested from jellyfish — one of the only animals on the planet that has no brain. And from this blob they found something that will help my memory? I hope I remember not to waste my money.

After owning a computer for 30 years, I still don’t know what a file permission error is. Why do I need permission to file something on my own computer? And why does the computer scare the bejeebers out of me by flashing on the screen: A fatal error has occurred? How about instead: Oops, you made a teensy-weensy goof? That would work for me.

I go to Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks and I buy a cup of coffee for two or three bucks.

Nothing fancy, just a coffee. Then I go to one of several places on my errand list, like my bank, my barber or the car wash. There, the coffee is free and it’s just as good.

That’s almost a grand a year I’m wasting. A fatal error has occurred.

Sometimes when my cellphone rings, the caller ID shows: Maybe Linda or probably Bob. Apparently, if the number isn’t in my phone book, the software searches my emails for possible matches. Suggesting it could be someone I know is like reporting there’s a 50 percent chance of rain. What a big help!

This is weird. On Monday at Shapiro’s Deli, there was no chicken in my chicken soup. When I complained, they said they don’t put chicken in the chicken soup until Wednesdays. Something is not kosher there (actually, nothing really is).

Finally, I didn’t need the clerk asking, “Do you want a bag for those cough drops?”

“No thanks, they’re already in a bag.”

I have to go now. I have to chase some kids off of my lawn.

Westfield residents Judy and Dan Schwinghammer appreciate the benefits of water excercise.

STRENGTH They have been members at PrimeLife, a nonprofit enrichment center in Carmel, 1078 3rd Ave. SW,, for four years. They attend yoga classes, take advantage of the workout room and attend Ai Chi aquatic classes twice a week.

Ai Chi is a water exercise program that is a total-body strengthening and relaxation workout. The exercise is performed in a salt-water pool with dim lighting and relaxing music and, according to its creators, promotes mental and physical health and improves balance, flexibility, well-being and relaxation.

“We are seeing such great benefits from it that we wanted to make others aware that this even exists.” Dan said.

Judy, who suffered from polio earlier in life, said the exercice helps her flexibility and strengthens her leg that was impacted by the disease.

“Those benefits enhanced my spirit. It also created a real sense of relaxation,” Judy said.

has taught Ai Chi for 10 years.

“It’s not something you just pop into here and there. It takes a while to learn (the moves),” Fowler said. “It takes some people a long time to slow down.”

The Schwinghammers said it has helped improve their flexibility, strength and confidence.

“I tried (Ai Chi) on land and thought there was no way,” Judy said. “And then I realized what I cannot perform on land I can perform in water.”

The creator of Ai Chi, Jun Konno, has worked to promote aquatics in Japan and around the world.

Dan said he likes Ai Chi because of the stretching and flexibility benefits.

“You get in that water and it’s kind of like an escape for a little while,” he said.

DISPATCHES Watermelon health benefits — Not only is watermelon a refreshing summer treat, it is packed full of health benefits, including: 1. Vitamin C boosts immunity.

2. The high water content helps detoxify the body.

3. The antioxidants protect the skin, reduce inflammation and regulate pH levels.

4. Beta carotene boosts eye health.

5. The low calorie count helps with weight management.

Source: Naturalon.com Sunscreen tip — Most skin cancers are a result of exposure to UV radiation. UV radiation comes in two forms – UVA and UVB. Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation.

Source: fda.gov Healthier bread — Like it or not, bread just isn’t that good for you, especially white bread. Even though whole grain bread is a better option, it is still low in nutrients.

Now, though, there is a healthy bread substitute. Called Barely Bread, it’s a soy-, yeast- and gluten-free, paleo-friendly bread substitute that actually tastes a lot like real bread. The texture isn’t identical to regular bread, but it is close.

Source: MSN.com Manicures and radiation — Both the ultraviolet (UV) lamps and the LED lamps used in nail salons to speed-dry nails emit UV radiation. Although they present only a moderate UV risk factor, much lower than tanning beds, the exposure adds up over time. If you get manicures regularly, you may want to apply sunscreen to your hands before using the lamps.

Home DNA test concerns — Home DNA tests such as AncestryDNA and 23andMe are becoming very popular and, unfortunately, creating a lot of stress for people. You may see a result that you have gene mutations putting you at risk for various diseases. Before panicking, consult a doctor. Often, the test results don’t give a complete picture that accounts for all other risk factors.

Local couple launches Home Helpers

By Michael Rheinheimer news@currentinwestfield.com The husband-and-wife team of Phil and Michelle Nunn of Zionsville have launched a Home Helpers franchise to NEW BIZ serve those in need.

Based at 13295 Illinois St. in Carmel, the new company will provide home care services to residents of Carmel, Noblesville, Zionsville, Westfield, Whitestown and other parts of Hamilton and Boone counties. According to the company’s website, Home Helpers specializes in home care for seniors, new mothers and patients who need ongoing assistance.

Michelle has spent more than 20 years as a registered nurse and said her grandmother’s own recovery needs are what sparked her interest in Home Helpers.

“My grandmother ended up needing more care than hospice could provide,” she said.

“I was fortunate enough to be able to take care of her and my grandpa when he was

The company offers free in-home consultations and what Phil calls “end-to-end services,” including bathing, ambulation, care management and light housekeeping.

“We specialize in helping families care for their loved ones so they can focus on spending quality time together,” he said.

“Even if you decide not to work with us, we want to be here to help make sure you have all the information you need to make the right decision for you and your family.”

Phil has a background in finance, but he said he understands how important it is to be home when recovering from injury or illness.

“The one thing my mother was determined to do was get out of the rehabilitation and get back home as soon as possible,” he said. “Michelle and I both want to have more impact on our local communities and we are very excited about bringing Home Helpers to this area.”

DISPATCHES Networking mistakes — Here are five networking mistakes you might be making: 1. Canned communication – templates are fine as a start, but take time to personalize correspondence.

2. No communication – take time to stay in touch with those who helped you.

3. Missing meetings – don’t agree to meet if you can’t afford the time and then cancel at the last minute.

4. Offering to make an introduction and not following through.

5. Asking for something at every contact.

Best and worst car brands — Dozens of car brands are sold in America, most from manufacturers in Japan, South Korea, the United States and Germany. Two brands are English. One of these is the worst new car brand sold in the nation, based on one of the most highly regarded car research companies in the world. J.D. Power recently released its 2019 Initial Quality Study.

The ratings are based on the number of problems owners or lessees have in the first 90 days they have their cars. More than 30 car brands were rated, and the bottom position was held by Jaguar. The second-worse brand was Land Rover.

The top of the J.D. Power list was held by Genesis, which was the luxury division of Hyundai until it was spun out recently. Rounding out the top five were Kia, Hyundai, Ford and Lincoln.

Hancock’s ‘La Casa Azul’ gets new look on Phoenix stage

editorial@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Carmel resident Gregory Glade Hancock, art is constantly evolving.

So is his production of MUSICAL “La Casa Azul,” the story of the turbulent life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

“It’s a fusion of musical theater, dance and opera to make a new genre of musical,” said Hancock, founder of Carmel-based Gregory Hancock Dance Rey Theatre.

The original version premiered in 2015.

“Since then I’ve been working with producers and directors in New York and across the country a little bit to help give me Nuccio suggestions on refining and reshaping,” Hancock said. “The show has been re-written, re-shaped and restructured. It has some new songs, some missing songs, it’s a completely new presentation than it was in 2015.”

Hancock said the decision to stage at the Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre, a smaller venue in Indianapolis, was to create a more intimate, immersive atmosphere to really focus on the story and the characters. The 12 performances will be July 11 to 28.

“We did a grand, epic version the first time and it won a regional Emmy Award,” Hancock said of the performance at The Tarkington in Carmel. “We decided to do a scaled-down, more intimate version this time.”

Hancock said he wanted to make sure the lead characters were played by Latino actors.

J.L. Rey will play artist Diego Rivera, who was twice married to Kahlo.

“Like Frida, he is one of the most important artists of the 20th century,” Rey said. “It’s an amazing opportunity to tell this story of these two amazing artists

and their unique love story. It’s a story of two significant people in the world of art that in America a lot of people don’t know much about. They only know the Salma Hayek film (‘Frida’), which is fabulous.

These two people are as important in the world of art as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol.”

Rey said he wanted to thank Hancock and board members for their efforts to cast Latino actors.

“It’s great to play a great, flawed human character,” Rey said. “He was not a very faithful husband and he is flawed in many other ways as well, but he loves her and she loves him. The music is amazing.”

Rey learned about the production through Val Nuccio, who portrays Kahlo.

The two New York performers worked together in Minneapolis two years ago in a production of “In the Heights.”

Abbie Lessaris is reprising her role as Death.

“My part has evolved, but the integrity of it remains intact,” Lessaris said. “In this show, I dance almost solely by myself or with Frida. But she is not dancing, she is

doing what is natural to her, singing, acting. Usually, I’m relating to other dancers.”

Death was a preoccupation of Kahlo’s, Rey said.

“For the audience to have that experience of Frida’s preoccupation with her own mortality visually in dance is stunning,” Rey said.

Lessaris said her portrayal of Death is completely unspoken.

“Even though we don’t speak or sing with one another, you feel the intensity of that relationship between Frida and her mortality,” Lessaris said. “I’m constantly in her life. I’m perhaps the only constant in her life. I’m almost a maternal character towards Frida. I’m there when she has a miscarriage or with her in the hospital after the accident, when men are walking out of her life and her sister betrays her.’

The musical covers Kahlo’s life from age 12 to when she dies in 1954 at age 47.

“To do her whole life would be a miniseries. She was an epic human,” Rey said.

Blueprint for Improvement: Old Northside bathroom gets update Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

By shifting the location of the door and pushing the vanity back, we were able to open up the space and add a freestanding tub.

1. The tilework is really the star of the show in this bathroom. The combination of patterns and hues (including herringbone, penny and crayon-shaped tiles) lends incredible interest and style.

2. Beautifully coordinated accessories – from the Moravian star hanging pendant to the faucets and mirrors – in a stylish champagne bronze finish add to the “wow” factor.

3. Wall sconces were added to soften the light reflected in the mirror.

4. A quartz countertop and painted maple cabinetry round out the features of this stunning bathroom makeover.

To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: This stunning loft is in the Old Northside neighborhood of Indianapolis.

Built in 1901, the building originally housed the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. In recent years, the space has been divided and sold as individual lofts.

THE CHALLENGE The master bathroom was nicely finished; however, it didn’t have a bathtub, which was a “must-have” for these homeowners.

The goal was to create space for a relaxing soaker tub while keeping the shower and amping up the style.

To be or not be correct?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Reconstructed slave cabin at Monticello. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Jefferson’s moral contradictions Commentary by Don Knebel Thomas Jefferson, who wrote that “all men are created equal,” owned 600 slaves during his lifetime and fathered TRAVEL children with one of them.

The guardians of Jefferson’s famous Virginia estate have recently confronted these contradictions.

Jefferson inherited from his father a 5,000-acre plantation near Charlottesville, Va., and the enslaved individuals working there. In 1769, five years after taking control of the property, he began building a house atop a hill he called “Monticello,” a project that continued, off and on, for 40 years.

Some of Jefferson’s slaves, who lived in cabins along a road southeast of the house called “Mulberry Row,” helped with the construction. When Jefferson’s wife Martha died in 1782, he gained ownership of Sally Hemings, the daughter of Martha’s father and Elizabeth Hemings, one of her father’s slaves. Jefferson took his deceased wife’s half-sister with him to France when she was 14 and, according to accounts at the time, there made Sally his concubine. She eventually bore Jefferson six children, four

of whom, including Madison Hemings, lived into adulthood.

The Thomas Jefferson Foundation has owned Monticello since 1923. Until recently, its guided tours of the property made little mention of slavery and no acknowledgement that Sally Hemings was the mother of Jefferson’s children. Today, however, a 45-minute slavery tour begins at a reconstructed log cabin along Mulberry Row, emulating a cabin occupied by John Hemings, Sally’s half-brother. In 2018, the Foundation opened an exhibit in a small room in the south wing of the main house, where Sally Hemings may have lived. Relying on DNA evidence and the recollections of Madison Hemings, writings near the door state unequivocally that “Sally Hemings bore children fathered by her owner.” As the writings note, at Monticello “we can find the absolute best, and the absolute worst, that we have been as Americans.”

The following is a scenario based on real events. Any names have been changed to avoid GRAMMAR GUY embarrassment and grammar shaming.

My friend, Ann, drives a van. Ann drives a tan van, and she’s married to Stan, but this story isn’t about him. It’s about Ann and her tan van. One day, Ann’s tan van was uncommonly tawny in its hue because, you see, it was dirty. “My van needs washed,” Ann surmised.

As soon as Ann said this, my ears felt as if they were going to explode. I resisted the urge to correct her, because we were with a group of people, and I try to avoid correcting people’s grammar in public.

If Prince Hamlet wondered, “To be, or not to be, that is the question,” then my question is: What happened to ‘to be’? You see, Ann’s tan van needed to be washed.

It didn’t “need washed,” as she declared.

In this case, “washed” is what’s considered a passive participle, and it requires the infinitive phrase “to be” in order to pass grammar muster.

I know this omission of “to be” doesn’t only happen in Indiana; this may very well be a Midwestern grammar faux pas. I’m interested to see if readers from outside the Midwest hear this ear-splitting construction. If not, send me an email with your regional grammar issue.

Besides “need,” I’ve also heard this phraseology used with the words “want” and “like.” For instance: My pet bear wants scratched. My son likes fed multiple times per day. As I type this, my word processor’s squiggly red line is having a field day. My pet bear wants to be scratched. My son likes to be fed multiple times per day.

I’m not sure what caused the omission of “to be.” Maybe high school students don’t appreciate being forced to read Shakespeare in their English classes, so they’ve begun a rebellion and have answered Prince Hamlet with a resounding “not to be.”
