U.S. 31 landmarks vote delayed indefinitely

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com On July 14, the Westfield City Council was expected to vote on the proposed U.S. 31-Ind. 32 landmarks – also known as the “Westfield Towers” city – but prior to the meeting the ordinance was tabled to a future time.

“It’s a very lightening rod item. I want to feel better about what the overall community feels,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “People agree there should be something.”

Cook said there is no timetable for the vote.

“No time right now,” he said. “We want to make sure it’s the right thing to do.”

A public hearing on the project was held at the June 23 Westfield City Council meeting. Eighteen members from the public spoke – five were against, three were neutral, and the rest were in favor. Proponents said the project will drive economic development and tie together two major city projects – the Grand Park Sports Complex west of U.S. 31 and Grand Junction Park and Plaza downtown.

Since the meeting, Cook said there has not been swelling support for or against the project.

“Nothing overwhelming either way,” he said.

If the vote had been held after the June 23 public hearing, it would have passed 4-2. Councilor Bob Smith was not in attendance at the meeting.

“Yes, we had the votes but we want to make sure it’s the right thing to do,” Cook said.

Cook said some of the feedback he’s heard about the project is that it is “too grand.” He said he has found that most of those with negative views don’t understand the background, intention or architecture interpretation of the project.

“People haven’t heard the whole story,” he said.

“When people hear the story they tend to change their mind.”

“I can usually get them to a point when they start understanding what we’re trying to accomplish. It is a good thing for the city,” Council President Jim Ake said.

Ake said Westfield is fiscally strong and provides top notch public safety with a lean work force. He added that the city has established a laundry list of needed improvements and can complete them all and construct the towers.

“We are paving streets and putting in roundabouts. We need to make the world aware of what we have and we have the funds to do it,” Ake said.

“Where are we not meeting the needs of the community? Tell me because I’d like to know.”

“I wouldn’t be doing this if we couldn’t afford it,” Cook said, adding the project will use utility funds and not taxpayer dollars. “It’s intended for economic development.”

Bids received by the city for the U.S. 31 landmarks project range from $2.45 million to $3.07 million.

The 100-foot towers will be created with precast concrete and stainless steel. The top and joints will be illuminated with digitally controlled LED lights, which can change colors depending on the season or special events.

Mark Beebe of architecture engineering firm RQAW Inc. said the towers include curves which add color and texture and stainless steel and painted steel at the top to provide a new look depending on sunshine and viewing point.

“It will be built with no maintenance in mind and to last a hundred years,” he said. “Single forms tended to make the stronger impact. Color and lights are for dramatic effect.”

As INDOT work at the intersection, it is installing the foundations for the towers at a price of $300,000 each tower. Officials said this cost is included in INDOT’s $350 million highway overhaul.

Cook said the city has the next year of construction to decide soon whether to proceed with the project.

Fans bleed to support team

City’s ESL program growing strong

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Westfield High School fans showed their support for the football players and cheerleaders by rolling up their sleeves philanthropy and donating blood for five hours on July 16.

Westfield is one of more than 30 Indiana high school football teams and cheerleading squads are competing to win an exclusive cookout at the Indianapolis Colts training camp in Anderson and an appearance by Colts cheerleaders.

Westfield is looking to win the third consecutive challenge by hosting the largest blood drive.

“They always have a good time at the Colts complex. Being there, up close and personal with the players is a great experience,” said Gene Baker, a WHS football parent. “Westfield does a really good job coming out and supporting the team. Not just the games but the blood drive. People really back the program.”

Gene’s wife, Carol Baker, made her first donation last year at the WHS drive to support their son, Patrick, a sophomore lineman for the Shamrocks.

“I never had the opportunity,” she said. “I’m going to continue doing it. It’s a great thing to do. You feel good when you leave here.”

Angie Gleason is a veteran at giving blood and has made donation when she can for the past 25 years. For the past three years she has participated in the WHS blood drives. Like

Classes are held downtown in the parks department’s Main Street Programming Center at 330 E. Main St. parks “What we are most excited about is the new friends we are making, relationships are forming and most importantly, trust is being given,” said Cheri Davis, an instructor with the program.

Davis is an early literacy teacher at Monon Trail Elementary School.

“One of my passions in life is to teach adults English.

I have met some amazing adults who work extremely hard to learn English, and in Davis turn, have taught me so much more about life,” she said.

The ESL program started in May with five participants. Since that time, attendance has grown to five times that size.

“It varies on everyone’s schedule,” Westfield Parks Program Coordinator Brittany Goger said.

“It’s grown quite a bit and it only continues to grow.”

Goger said the program is about building connections.

“There was an interest by a group wanting to get involved to reach out to Hispanic residents,” she said. “It’s more than just a class. People are

the Bakers, Gleason’s son, Levi, plays offensive lineman. She said he really enjoyed visiting the Colts training camp last year as a freshman.

“It’s very cool. They enjoy it so much,” she said. “Win or lose that’s great. They need all they can get. If the boys can benefit that’s great but it’s all about the blood.”

WHS senior Corbin Atkins said a friend on the football team informed him of the drive.

“I’ve donated a couple of times,” he said. “It helps them out and it’s a nice thing to do.”

The announcement of winning schools will come later this summer.

getting plugged into the community. It helps them get settled in and feel like a Westfield resident.”

Goger said the class is divided into different classrooms based on skill level with several volunteers for each group. Participants take an assessment test to determine their level.

“No matter which group our students are in, it is vital for each student to understand they are valued and important for the gifts they have inside of them and the desire to learn a new language,” Davis said.

Goger said the program will continue through the rest of the year.

“The people who volunteer have pretty big hearts,” she Groger said. “They see the need. The city sees the need and can provide the resources to make it happen.”

Those interested in attending may sign up online at www.westfield.in.gov/parks, which can be translated to Spanish, or attend any class and fill out the registration form. For more information, contact Goger at 804-3183 or bgoger@ westfield.in.gov.

Family friendly movie series returns to Asa Bales, expands

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

the schedule

After two years of planning, the Westfield Parks Dept. began a new Friday tradition last year with the inaugural Movies in parks the Park. The free series provides the community with an opportunity to enjoy a relaxing evening under the stars and watch a good movie at Asa Bales Park.

Special Events Coordinator Amanda Jackson said the series averaged 400 attendees last year.

“We’re hoping to have even Jackson larger crowds this year. We anticipate that number is going to increase,” she said, adding that each movie night has been sponsored by local businesses. “The series has been completely backed by the community. The sponsorships allow us to offer new things like free popcorn.”

In addition to free popcorn, the series has expanded one week and the showing of “Despicable Me 2” on Aug. 1 will include Spanish subtitles.

“If we get a good turnout we may do this for other offerings – this year or next,” Jackson said.

All of the films are rated PG with the exception of “Man of Steel,” which is PG-13.

“We tried to get a good variety – sport movie, cartoon-based, animated – really just something that might appeal to all different levels,” Jack-

son said. “The showing of ‘E.T.’ last year had a completely different audience than other movies.

We’d like to get new people to visit Asa Bales Park to see one of the movies.”

Guests are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs, snacks and flashlights. Movies will begin at dusk, so listed start times may vary. Parking is available at Westfield High School, across the street from the Asa Bales Park north entrance, 205 W. Hoover St. The series is a partnership between the parks department and the service-driven members of CitySpring Church, which provide the necessary equipment and volunteers to put on each movie.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with them. The event would not happen without them,” Jackson said. “They are hard workers who want to serve the community. I just cannot say enough good things about them.”

“We want the first time people heard about CitySpring was because they were served in one way or another. We’re happy our service speaks for itself,” CitySpring Church Lead Pastor Matt Gaylor said.

Gaylor said City Spring has been in existence for two years.

“We want to be a part of the city so we went to the leadership to see what they

wanted to solve,” he said. “We want to serve the community.”

CitySpring meets weekly at Carey Ridge Elementary School. Gaylor said the church sets up and removes the equipment worth $70,000 every week in its temporary home.

“It all goes in every week. We thought, ‘why not do it on a Friday night? It’s already portable.’

Our whole church is in a trailer,” he said.

Because of the electronics, Jackson said movies will be shown in light rain or mist but encourages patrons to call 804-3180 or the Parks Dept.

“We had to call one do to weather last year,” Jackson said. “We are constantly monitoring weather during the day and at the event.”

“I wanted to be able to share a milkshake with my granddaughter again.”

After my stroke, I had medical issues that made it impossible for me to go directly home. The people at the hospital told me about rehab and therapy available at Westminster Village North. My daughter visited the newly renovated health center and decided it was the place for me.

My private Medicare suite was spacious and comfortable; and the staff really cared about my needs.

My experience with rehabilitation therapy was superb.

The equipment was brand new and the therapists were well-trained and helpful. I was eager to go home, but will always appreciate Westminster Village North.

THIS FRIDAY NIGHT!

Now Sophie and I can enjoy that milkshake at my home again.

Playhouse receives façade grant

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Patrons of the Westfield Playhouse next season may not recognize the former church after it receives a facelift thanks to a $5,000 matching façade grant from the development City of Westfield.

On July 14, the city council approved a special resolution that found the proposed improvements of the theater are within the goals and objectives of the grant program as intended despite its geographical location away from downtown.

“It helps us make our building look better,” said John Sampson, president of Main Street Productions of Westfield board of directors. “The building will look like it’s supposed to – clean all the way around.”

Sampson credited City Council President Jim Ake and Mayor Andy Cook for the matching grant.

Ake said the council approval was a one-time exception to the city’s façade grant program.

“They’d raised some money and we’d like to help the gateway to the west,” he said. “It’s an extension of the community, an integral part of our community.”

The playhouse is involved in the city’s annual Voices from the Past program, Westfield in Lights and Westfield Rocks the 4th.

“We love working with the city and all of the departments. This is a sign of reciprocation,” Sampson said.

If the matching grant was not approved, Sampson said it would have taken the playhouse an extra two years to raise the necessary funds.

“We’re putting money into the building because we can’t go anywhere else now. We see it as an investment if we do ever decide to sell.”

Sampson, who has been president for the past six years, said he’s wanted to update the building for the past five years. He said three years ago the playhouse was approached by the Downtown Westfield Association to apply for a matching façade grant but at that time funds were not available.

“New white siding will be wrapping our building as a result of a special ad selling drive undertaken by Syd Loomis,” Sampson said, adding the construction will be completed by the end of October. “We’ll take it upon ourselves to paint the foundation and add a little more landscaping around the sign.”

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

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

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

Spring Mill Station Kroger proposes new fuel site, expansion

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Spring Mill Station Economic Development Area of 161st Street and Spring Mill Road may receive its first railroad government themed architecture with a proposed redesign and expansion of Kroger.

Mark Salma, of the Kroger Co. Central Division Real Estate office in Indianapolis, said the project consists of three main components: the existing fuel center, a new fuel center and building expansion.

“The existing fuel center is not serving the needs of the community,” he said. “It will be a larger, better, more open fueling station with better circulation.”

Salma said the proposal includes a new 10

gas pump center that would be built north of the current four-pump fuel station, which will be demolished.

Engineer Paula Gardner said the building’s 13,000 square feet expansion would occur on the north side of the grocery. Plans also call for an outdoor patio area for dining, new bike racks and landscaping and a railroad-themed mural.

A total area of 1.79 acres will be under construction. Other items included with this project include all new utilities which will incorporate underground stormwater detention and stormwater quality, landscaping and the addition of a new curb cut along Spring Mill Road.

The proposal will have a public hearing Aug. 8 at the Westfield Advisory Plan Commission meeting. It is scheduled to return to the city council in September.

The Pedcor Invesments and Paul Estridge Group project for Oak Park was originally met with overwhelming objection from neighbors but in the three months since then, the two sides have and come to a consensus for the 35.26 acres project at 161st Street and Oak Road. The neighbors objections were the result of three items: a second permanent entrance on Oak Road which will be used for construction traffic, larger lot sizes and having a voice in the appearance of the homes to be built. All of the disputes were settled and the neighborhood backed the rezoning.

What’s next?

The rezone was unanimously approved.

What happened: Sundown Gardens rezone What it means: Sundown Gardens requested a change in zoning from Agricultural-Single Family-1 to the “Garden Market” development that would allow for a mixed-use agritourism, garden and lawn center, nursery and commercial development on approximately 16 acres at the southwest corner of the intersection of 186th Street and Spring Mill Road.

What’s next?

The rezone was unanimously approved.

What happened: Annexation of Kalorama Park What it means: The area, approximately 10 acres located northwest of the intersection of 171st Street and Oak Road, is adjacent to the existing city limits along the northern, southern and western boundaries.

Freeman crowned 4-H Fair queen

By Navar Watson • news@currentinwestfield.com

After an extra-long pause of suspense, the crowd at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds burst into applause when emcee Greg Knapp announced the 2014 4-H achievement Fair Queen – Noblesville resident and first-time contestant Erica Danielle Freeman.

“I couldn’t be more pleased,” mother MaryPat Freeman said while watching friends congratulate her daughter. “I’m so impressed by just what a great adult she’s turning into. 4-H has really helped her.”

Freeman has completed 10 projects in her four years of 4-H. A junior at Noblesville High School, she plans on attending Purdue University and studying large animal sciences.

An avid horse lover, Freeman will be participating in the horse and pony projects at the fair.

She also is entered in veterinary sciences and shooting sports.

“My parents always taught me to be true to myself and just be the best that I can personally be,” Freeman said after being asked why she thinks she rose to the top. “If that’s all I can give, then that’s the best I can do.”

She said the most important part of representing the Hamilton County 4-H fair is “being a positive influence for the younger generation and … (showing) them that confidence is key in life.”

Noblesville residents almost swept the 2014 Queen’s Court as other residents receiving sashes include first runner-up Rachel Flanders second runner-up Victoria Comin, third runner-up Kara Moody and fourth-runner up Kendall Gatewood. Alyssa Wilmot from Cicero was elected Miss Congeniality.

The judge panel included Pamela Gardner from WISH-TV, former Indiana State fair board member Justin Messersmith and six-time judge Krystal McBride.

Kara Moody, who competed in the pageant the previous two years, said “it was definitely a surprise” winning third runner-up. “(This) is so amazing,” she said after the pageant. “It’s like a huge, final ‘hoorah.’ It’s the best way I can think of ending my 4-H career.”

Last year’s queen, Kyleigh Kimbrell, also a Noblesville resident, shared some parting words to the contestants before ending her tenure.

“Strive to be your best,” she said. “It doesn’t take much to leave a footprint on these fairgrounds, and it doesn’t take a crown to do that.

Alec Brooks builds city’s first disc golf course for Eagle Scout project

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield has its first disc golf course thanks to an Eagle Scout project by Alec Brooks, who started planning it in 2012 COVER STORY as a Life Scout in Troop No. 107.

“I knew I wanted to do something for the parks. I felt that I wanted to do something bigger,” he said, adding he saw previous projects like swing benches and fences. “I wanted to do a lasting project. It exceeded all of my expectations.”

Brooks said his idea came from the disc golf course at Northview Church in Carmel.

“I had never played but I thought it was kinda interesting,” he said. “I knew it was a fun activity for the family. The ball just got rolling,” The course has nine holes with two tees each – making it an 18-hole course.

“You can go around and play it twice,” Brooks said, noting the buckets and poles are removable and each hole has two locations. “People can come back and (the course) can be slightly different. It is open year-round unless there is a parks event. Just bring your own Frisbee.”

Brooks and 40 volunteers logged 300 hours installing the course.

“Everything went pretty smoothly,” he said, adding it’s great “seeing it all in the ground.”

Because Asa Bales is smaller than other Westfield Parks, Brooks said it was designed by

Dennis Byrne with a recreational style instead of league play. Byrne has designed all seven of Hamilton County’s disc golf courses.

“For less than the cost of a tennis court, you can have a disc golf course,” Byrne said, adding the game is “a great life sport” and still continues to play even with a hip replacement.

“Disc golf is exactly the same game as golf.

You just use a different instrument of torture.”

To build the Westfield Lions Club Disc Golf Course, Brooks raised $7,000 in a year and a half which did not include design time and labor. He said fundraising was the hardest part of the project and greatly appreciates the Lions Club for their support.

“I was approaching a half-year into it. It was a big relief and a big help,” he said.

Lions Club President Don Russell said in addition to the sight programs and community programs, the club also sponsors several Scouting projects.

“My wife is a teacher at Westfield Washington Schools, she brought it to me and I brought it to the club. I think it’s a worthy project,” Russell said. “A project like this lives its own life. It will go on for years and years and years. Alec did a great job in planning this project and a great job in execution.”

Westfield Parks Director Melody Jones said a disc golf course was on the department’s wish list and not having to use city funding to provide a new multigenerational amenity.

The Asa Bales Park disc golf course installation took 40 volunteers and 300 hours to create the 18-holes. (Submitted photo)

“I’m so excited. Families of all ages can play together. It brings in a whole other element to Asa Bales Park,” she said. “The Westfield Parks and Recreation is very fortunate, especially this past year, to have the Boy Scouts step forward and bring wonderful amenities to the community.”

Jones said the parks department has seven Eagle Scout projects planned this year for the various parks including covered swings, a tree planting at Osborne Park, library in a box at four sites, and a Girl Scout Gold Award project to build a rain and butterfly garden on the south end of Asa Bales Park.

“It is fabulous that Eagle Scouts bring new amenities to the parks through these types of projects, especially the Disc Golf Course project led by Alec,” Jones said. “We have a great relationship. We love the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Back to school for this ‘agent’

This is who’s protecting our “friendly skies” these days … with your tax dollars. (Don’t laugh, because this really happened.) Chris Stirewalt of Fox News’ digital report told us last week that Justin Gray, the Washington correspondent for Central Florida’s WSTV, had his District of Columbia-issued driver’s license in hand, while going through security at the Orlando, Fla., airport. But when a Transportation Safety Administration agent (term used loosely there) looked at his driver’s license, he vowed to Gray the license was not legal. Gray said it was his lawful, current documentation from the D.C. government, but the agent said he didn’t know the license. After a brief discussion, Gray said he grasped that the agent didn’t know what the District of Columbia was. After much discussion, Gray was finally able to go through security. Soon after the discrepancy, a TSA spokesman contacted Gray to confirm the District of Columbia’s license is an acceptable form of ID (it was an ah-ha moment, apparently) and that all the TSA agents in Orlando will be shown a copy of the D.C. driver’s license. Of course they will.

And it probably will be done in a seminar with continental breakfast and a highly paid driver’s license expert as the instructor.

••• And speaking of Washington, our illustrious president, Barack Obama is viewed thusly in recent polling, according to Real Clear Politics: 41.3 percent approve of the job he’s doing, and 26 percent believe the nation is headed in the correct direction. Draw your own conclusion there, and then think about this: A generic Congressional ballot had Democrats with a 41.4-40.2 edge over Republicans. As we’ve said, Republicans represent the best example of a party able to extricate defeat from the jaws of victory. The long-running comedy show re-launches on Election Day, Nov. 4.

Pounding the table Commentary by Terry Anker Even as the days became warmer with time marching from spring to summer, the passage also marked the end of my service as the Dean for the Hamilton County Leadership Academy (HCLA) Class of 2014. Certainly, the experience met all anticipation – and then some. Expectedly, the emerging community influencers taught me as much or more that I might have shared with them. And, friendships emerged that will long outlive our single year’s work.

Across the span of months that constituted our given mission, we came to understand that leadership, especially as it relates to community building and sustaining, is as much or more an exercise in connecting as it is any of a myriad of important tactical activities. One cannot be all things to all people, but the most effective communities are those wherein the chief leaders learn to rely upon the strength of network that its citizenry has amassed. We build relationships for our own joy, but even more so that we can rely on each other

when needed. Perhaps it is so that we can join those in need with those best able to assist.

Leadership is not pounding the table; it is identifying the gaps and serving to fill them. The best among us has an innate desire to help and is likewise filled with a sense of authentic need.

Quiet service with an eye to avoid the debilitating dependency precipitated by our own unmeasured generosity ensures the dignity of those we set out to help and remembers the virtue of dogged personal responsibility and the sublime reward of individual freedom.

HCLA promises its own that they will Learn, Connect, & Lead. It delivers. But one can also come to Experience, Interact, & Serve. Can’t we each choose to live in our communities with this as our motto? And, wouldn’t we be better for it?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

–Ralph Waldo Emerson

As a rule, I hate spa massages. I know that sentiment separates me from about 99 percent of the world’s population, but I humor simply can never relax enough to enjoy a stranger’s man-hands rubbing on my nearly-naked body. Call me modest, call me insecure, and definitely call me cheap, because I also can’t get past the expense. A hundred bucks plus tip for 60 minutes of uncomfortable, awkward moments with scented oil and new-age music? I could have my Lab and 10-yearold run a relay on back for free in less time and probably to the same effect.

Having said all that, however, I seem to perpetually have sore muscles. Time spent hunched at the computer, teaching a 15-year-old how to drive, and training for a stupid triathlon has my whole body constantly under stress. So I thought I’d give this new place, Feet Retreat, a try. As their name suggests, they specialize in a one-hour foot massage for just $25, which frankly sounded too good to be true. My husband Doo, who’d gladly defer a kid’s college tuition to employ a personal masseuse (preferably a Brit named Carson who could also serve tea; we love Downton Abby!) decided to tag along.

We walked in without an appointment and were immediately ushered through a beaded curtain into a low-lit, whisper-inducing room with five cushioning-looking “beds.” After lying down, fully clothed, my masseuse placed my feet in water just hot-enough to make me cringe for one whole second before succumbing to total relaxation. That and the Kenny G tunes had me totally rethinking this whole spa thing.

And then, to my surprise and delight, my gal began a full-body massage, over my clothes, starting with my face and neck, then moving down to my arms and shoulders, and finishing with my legs and back. The main event was of course my feet, which was heavenly, and I only had to suppress the giggles three times, once when she was working on my toes, and twice when I heard Doo getting smacked around. (I think they use reflexology and/or acupressure, but parts of it feels and sounds a little like a beat-down. In a good way, of course!)

I never felt awkward, I never felt self-conscious, and I didn’t break the bank, even with a nice tip. How’s that for The Greatest Find of the Year? Yes, Feet Retreat is located in a strip mall between a nail salon and a Subway, and no, we weren’t treated to cucumber water in crystal stemware, but we both received wonderful, professional massages at an unbelievable price. And I got to keep my clothes on!

Peace out.

Original cast member helps stage ‘Footloose’

By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com

The Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will stage performances of the classic musical “Footloose” July 24 through July 27, utilizing theatre the wisdom and instruction of one of the original “Footloose” performers.

Catherine Cox, who performed as Ethel McCormack in the original 1998 “Footloose” stage production, traveled to Carmel to lead a workshop for the young actors in the musical.

“She’s very down-to-earth,” said Samantha Russell, who plays Rusty. “It was really cool getting to talk to someone who’s been through all the things that some of us can only dream of.”

The actors were also treated to an audition workshop with Cox, in which they received feedback after singing some of the songs Cox originally performed. Cox also critiqued interpretations of individual characters in the show.

“You could pick from being annoyed with a character or upset with a character,” Joshua Brunsting said. “It gives you a different way to interpret your character. It’s allowed us to really develop, which is huge to any show.”

The 48-member cast of Civic Theatre’s Young Adult Program is comprised of students from 17 different high schools from central Indiana, as far as Rossville and Mount Vernon. Students range in age from 14 to 18 years old.

“It’s kind of a comprehensive program in that it has workshop and dance,” said Ron Morgan, director and choreographer of the production.

“What I think attracts them is this facility, and there’s really beautiful dance studios and an education department. We also give them the tools like the music workshops, the drama workshops, the dance workshops.”

Morgan has previously worked on Broadway, performing in the original cast of “Starlight Express” and “Meet Me in St. Louis.” He currently works as director and owner of the Performer’s Edge Dance Theatre in Carmel.

Some actors also involve themselves in community outreach programs, and eight of the “Footloose” actors recently traveled to the Stratford retirement community to sing Broadway songs for residents.

“Each year we try to do a community outreach program,” Morgan said. And a preview performance will also be conducted for certain community members who might have difficulty affording tickets.

Variety plays an important role in attracting young actors and theatre attendees, according to Morgan.

“Number one thing is the students, to attract them to the show,” Morgan said. “Another is

whenever there’s a movie musical, that helps sell tickets.”

The young actors remain thankful for the opportunities presented to them through Civic Theatre.

“If my mom had never found this, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today,” Russell said. “At my school, we don’t have an orchestra or any of these other opportunities that I get, so by the time I go to college, I probably wouldn’t be ready or get in. This is definitely giving me a step up.”

“The resources that are available here and the

knowledge of the staff has prepared us - not just for the show, but for future things,” Sommer O’Donnell said.

The teenagers involved in the performance of “Godspell” said it’s a chance to gain insight into biblical characters. (Submitted photo)

Belfry staging righteous musical

By Jospeh Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com

Noblesville’s Belfry Theatre will host performances of the parables of the Bible when “Godspell” is presented to the community on July 25 through July 27 and Aug. 1 theatre through Aug. 3.

Godspell, meaning “good news” in Old English, was originally written by playwright John-Michael Tebelak with songs written

by Stephen Schwartz, the composer behind “Wicked” and “Pocahontas.”

Structured as a series of parables, Godspell primarily revolves around the Gospel of Matthew and the life of Jesus.

Director Connie Murello-Todd hopes to give the show’s cast and crew, comprised primarily of actors under the age of 18, a fun experience.

“I try hard to keep it rated G or PG,” MurelloTodd said. “I also try to not be preachy, but the kids have actually gone and done a lot of their own research.”

The Belfry Theatre will turn 50 years old next year. It was established with the help of Betty Lou Kyle, who founded the Apprentice Players

program, which helps young actors receive opportunities to work in a real theatre in a variety of capacities.

“It was one of (Betty’s) proudest achievements,” Murello-Todd said.

Students were encouraged to select their own costuming for the musical. Characters are usually referred to by the actor’s first name. Some characters, like John the Baptist and Judas Iscariot, are even played by the same actor.

This level of personalization lends a bit of fun to each actor’s interpretation of their character.

“I feel like Judas was more in love with the idea of a savior than Jesus himself,” said Charles Parrish, who plays both John the Baptist and Judas.

The religious angle of Godspell also plays an important role for community members who wish to express their faith.

“It’s lots of fun, but we’re learning a lot about scripture,” Katelyn Rose-Maudlin said. “My church told the same scripture as the show recently.

We’re developing our skills and our faith.”

Motorcyclists, hear this warning Commentary by Marty Wood

speeds can measure up to 103 dB. At these levels, a rider begins to experience physical fatigue from excess noise exposure, and puts him or her into a position of needing a hearing aid later in life.

Another common motorcycle riding experience is a temporary loss of your hearing level immediately following a long ride. Having this experience over time will result in permanent hearing damage. Everyone has experienced this at one time or another, whether it is from going to loud dance halls, or concerts or even work, but this is a common occurrence for motorcyclists who do not wear adequate hearing protection while riding their bike.

There are several types of hearing-protection devices on the market. A custom set of ear molds is the best answer for suppressing sound.

They provide excellent noise-suppression values and are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. (One additional recommendation is to check with local state officials on the regulations of wearing hearing protection. See the AMA web pages on State Motorcycle Laws, www. americanmotorcyclist.com/Rights/State-Laws. aspx.)

I have been enjoying motorcycling for more years than I care to admit. In addition to the wind in our faces, unobstructed panoramic views and the experience of the Hearing road on two (sometimes three) wheels, most of us really enjoy the sound a motorcycle makes.

Most motorcyclists understand that noise exposure over time damages their hearing. unfortunately, many define noise as that emanating from the bike itself or other road and traffic conditions. Many bikers believe that only those that do not wear full-face helmets are exposed to excessive noise. While somewhat correct, the real hearing “killer” is wind noise.

Wind noise is the result of turbulence produced around the head while in motion. The result is irreversible hearing loss/damage over a period of time when adequate hearing protection is not worn. Like shooting and aviation noise exposure, the amount of exposure to the inner ear is compounded every hour you ride.

To put this in perspective, an average worker surrounded by levels of approximately 85 to 90 decibels (dB) for an eight-hour day will not exceed the limits of exposure time within 24 hours.

However, when the sound levels exceed 100 dB, exposure time is reduced to two hours. If sound levels exceed 115 dB, exposure time is reduced to 15 minutes. Typical “wind noise” at highway

Is therapy a bad word in your house?

Commentary by Kristen Boice If you bring up the words therapy or counseling, what is your initial reaction? What about your family or spouse?

Relationships Do you think the world would be a better place if everyone experienced therapy? It can heal hurting people, families and relationships.

Instead of externalizing their happiness such as having the most beautiful house, car or face, they would learn to get it from within. Depression, anxiety and addictions would decrease.

Communication would improve. Perhaps we would hurt others and ourselves less.

There used to be a stigma associated with getting help and therapy. More recently, that has started to change. It’s becoming more acceptable as people share their experiences.

It seems as if people want to become a better version of themselves and live a more peaceful and happy life. They may want to reduce their feelings of anxiety or depression. Or, they need some direction on how to handle difficult situations and challenging relationships.

At first, it may feel strange telling a stranger your struggles and deepest fears, hurts and pain.

Then, you start to notice and experience how much better you feel. It takes courage to share our stories and things we might not have told anyone before. When someone listens without judgment, walks alongside you and gives helpful guidance and feedback, it feels like a sigh of relief. We may not feel so inadequate, different or not good enough. We realize we are not alone in our struggles.

Are you ready? Below are some steps to begin your journey.

1. Figure out your goal. What is your goal for going to therapy? What do you want to get out of it?

2. Research counselors in your area. Read about them, their practice and specializations. Do you like what they say on their website?

3. Make a list of questions. The first phone call to a therapist is your chance to see how you feel when you speak with them. Determine their fees, hours, specialties, availability and how they work with clients.

4. Call to see if there is a connection. See how you feel on the phone. Do you feel comfortable?

Do you think this is someone that you can open up and share with?

5. Schedule the appointment and stick with it.

It is completely normal to feel nervous for your first appointment. This is very common. Try to be open and share what is going on. Be yourself.

Take a breath and leap. You are worth it!

Understanding different business models of financial services Commentary by Adam Cmejla

The past couple of columns addressed some of the important questions that should be considered when evaluating and contemplating hiring a financial professional. finance Up to this point, we’ve focused around the name on the door.

Let’s take a look at the name above the door and evaluate the different types of business models that advisors can operate.

Big-name brokerage houses These types of firms are going to be the household names that most of us have heard of in the past and are traditionally featured in the news for multiple reasons. Oftentimes called “wirehouses,” they are the large Wall Street firms in which advisors operate.

A number of these firms have proprietary funds and products that their advisors often use for their clients. The advisor in this business model can operate under a commission or fee business model.

One potential downfall is that they may be limited in the financial vehicles that they can offer their clients because of management decisions, mutual selling agreements between companies and business models.

A potential advantage is that, for a complex client needing multiple high-end services (such as investment banking, business financing, etc.), it may be a one-stop shop for multiple solutions.

The insurance model You may see these firms advertised as “XYZ Firm: Providing insurance and financial services.”

Their typical business model has always been and continues to be insurance-based and risk management. However, management at these companies realize that there is additional revenue that is being left on the table by not offering “financial services.”

You’ll typically see these agents having their insurance license as well as FINRA securities licenses Series 6 and 63, which allow them to offer mutual funds and variable products (such as annuities and variable life insurance contracts).

While they may have other vehicles to offer, the core business behind this model is insurance.

The fee-only independent model These firms are financial planning and advisory firms that are typically wholly owned and

operated independent of any national brokerage or insurance firm/agency. This means that they, by definition, do not have FINRA securities licenses but rather are registered as “Registered Investment Advisors,” or RIA’s.

Their name is both on the door as the advisor(s) and also above the door as owner(s) of the firm. What this means is that 100 percent of their compensation comes from the client in the form of fees paid.

The benefit to this business model is that clients have the peace of mind knowing that the advisor can always work in the best interest of the client and actually have a legal obligation to do so.

A potential downside to this business model is that they can sometimes have high minimum asset size requirements, which can leave a well-intentioned potential client on the outside looking in.

The dually registered independent firm In true transparency, this is how we operate our firm. What this means is that, as independent advisors, we are similar to the fee-only model mentioned above in that we are not captive to a specific firm and are not required to offer only a select number of vehicles.

Again, similar to the fee-only model, our names are both on and above the door. These firms have typically aligned with an independent broker/dealer and registered investment advisor, allowing us to do business with clients in both a commissioned and fee model.

The important quality to understand when working with this advisor is, as I’ve mentioned in the past, understand up front where their compensation is coming from and how they’re serving you.

When all is said and done, there are multiple different ways in which advisors can set up their business and serve their clients. Until our industry adopts a uniform fiduciary standard, which will require all advisors to have a legal obligation to put our clients’ best interest first, it’s important to understand the different business models that exist and how they serve clients.

DISPATCHES Are enough young workers quitting their jobs? - During and after the recession, the U.S. economy has been too weak for many workers to undertake the sort of job-hopping that economists say is critical to building careers and advancing the nation’s long-run growth prospects. The consequence: Even many Americans who have remained employed have stunted their earnings growth by staying pinned down to their current jobs.

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said “People are reluctant to risk leaving their jobs because they worry that it will be hard to find another.” By hopping from employer to employer, especially early on, workers find jobs better-suited to their skills, build their résumés, bid up their salaries and boost lifetime earnings prospects. They eventually settle down and change jobs less frequently. While the nation’s jobless rate dropped to 6.1 percent in June, the lowest in nearly six years, the improvement masks the fact that many workers who held jobs throughout the downturn and recovery struggled to advance. Their plight is best captured by the collapse in the monthly hiring rate, from 5.5 million in 2006 to as low as 3.6 million in 2009, according to the Labor Department. It was 4.7 million in May, the latest figure available. SOURCE: The Wall Street Journal

Courtyard of Home of Jose Fuster near Havana. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Fusterlandia: A Cuban oasis Commentary by Don Knebel

U. S. citizens can now travel to Cuba legally for the purpose of interacting with Cuban artists.

“Fusterlandia,” a visual fantasyland travel in an otherwise drab neighborhood, is one of the most popular destinations on these “People to People” trips.

Fusterlandia is situated in the seaside village of Jaimanitas, a western suburb of Havana. The exteriors of about 80 homes are covered from top to bottom with brightly colored tiles forming whimsical images, from exotic people, plants and animals to unusual takes on famous paintings.

Outside the houses are statues, some standing ten or more feet tall, also covered with mosaics.

Some of the art work is primitive, some evokes Picasso and some is quite realistic. Images from Santeria and Cuban folk tales are particularly popular.

This vibrant art all comes from the hands and mind of Jose Fuster, after whom the area is affectionately named. Fuster was born in Cuba in 1946 and worked as a literacy tutor in the Sierra Maestra Mountains at age 14 before being trained as an artist in Havana. He has exhibited his paintings and ceramics in several countries,

including the United States, and began creating Fusterlandia thirty years ago.

Fuster often holds court in the studio in his small house, above a courtyard overflowing with art. Over a glass of rum, he gladly shares his artistic and political views. He says he decorated the neighborhood to help his impoverished neighbors. That is certainly part of the story. In addition, Fusterlandia attracts hundreds of foreign visitors to Fuster’s studio every year, where they can purchase art items selling for up to $10,000.

Art is exempt from the U.S. trade embargo and Fuster is now allowed to keep the proceeds of his sales, subject to paying a fifty percent tax on his profits. His son recently quit his job as a government physician earning about 40 dollars a month to work full-time for his father.

For visitors to Havana, Fusterlandia is an oasis of color and free enterprise in a country still short of both. It is also an example of the changes that are happening in the Cuban economy.

Contemporary kitchen remodel adds better storage, function Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING KITCHEN: This home is located on the Northside of Indianapolis near the White River.

Lack of storage and blueprint for functionality were a few improvement of the reasons the owners decided to remodel.

“As we stepped inside our front door, we were greeted by a cluttered office, an untidy laundry area and dated kitchen. The space did not give off a warm and welcoming feeling.” The goal was to create a more efficient entry, hide the laundry and create a functional yet contemporary kitchen.

ENTRY AND LAUNDRY ROOMS: The previous office was transformed into an enclosed laundry room featuring a modern frosted glass door. A custom storage bench with wood top was placed in the entry to help organize clothing accessories.

BAR AREA: The former laundry area was converted into a wet bar using new poplar cabinetry in a chocolate brown finish featuring frosted glass fronts. Coffee-brown granite countertops and a “Catalonia” tiled backsplash added warmth.

ISLAND: The existing island offered ample storage, but lacked the proper overhang for bar stools and did not offer enough countertop space for everyday purposes. A new, larger multi-functional island was installed featuring decorative corbel supports. The expanded island now serves as a central spot for cooking, eating and conversing.

homeowners’ lifestyle, an induction cooktop was added to the enlarged island. A stainless vent hood was added above the cooktop and an under-counter convection microwave was installed freeing up valuable countertop space needed for prep work.

FINISHING TOUCHES: Tying together the desired warm and contemporary style, the couple chose a heated slate floor tile in a herringbone pattern for the kitchen and adjoining rooms and selected a warming “copper wire” paint color for the entry and kitchen walls.
