Her sister predicted it

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com During her first year in 4-H, KyLeigh Kimbrell was working on her swine and scrapbooking project. Her sister told her, “You’re going 4-H Queen to do the queen contest and win queen. You don’t have a choice.” Last year, Kimbrell competed in the 4-H Queen Pageant and won fourth runner-up. On July 12, the 10-year 4-H member fulfilled her sister’s prediction and was crowned the 2013 4-H Fair Queen.

“It makes me smile and not able to talk because I get so worked up,” she said. “I didn’t expect to get queen… I was crying the entire time. I plan to use my crown a lot. The crown is your megaphone I want to use it.”

Kimbrell, who lives in Noblesville, graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School. She will be a freshman at Ball State University and plans to dual major in elementary education and American Sign Language.

In addition to being on court both years she competed, Kimbrell was selected by her peers as Miss Congeniality each time.

“Last year, I didn’t try for it and this year I didn’t try ever harder since I wanted someone else to get the honor,” she said.

During her one-on-one interview with the judges, Kimbrell was asked if she would rather win Miss

Congeniality or Fair Queen.

“I truly thought about this one,” she said. “It’s a true honor to be Miss Congeniality because everyone thinks you are deserving of a sash. As 4-H Fair Queen there is a legacy of being a role model. You’re a truly genuine person no matter the situation. You can act on the spot and be professional.”

Kimbrell will be joined on the 4-H Queen Court by three other Noblesville residents: second runner-up Dorian Bush, third runner-up Madison McFadden and fourth runner-up Rachel Flanders.

“It was really surprising,” McFadden, a senior at Noblesville High School, said. “I was talked into doing it by a friend who ended up not participating.”

Westfield’s Christy Kettler earned first runnerup. Kettler was the second runner-up in last year’s pageant.

“I’m excited for another group of girls and an exciting week. Fair week is the best week of the year,” she said.

Kettler, also a 10-year member who will be a freshman at Purdue University in the fall, remembers her first year watching the pageant in third grade.

“It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. I want to set an example for younger members,” she said.

Kettler said her favorite part about being on the court is going to see different projects she’s not involved in.

“You get to experience everything,” she said.

A summer spent reading

By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com For the Westfield Washington Public Library, the word “summer” brings more to mind than spending days at the pool Library sipping on lemonade. For the WWPL, summer is a time for all ages to read and try to win various prizes.

However, the Summer Reading Program is not just a competition for prizes. Originally, the program was established “to keep children reading and help them to develop a love of reading,” according to WWPL spokeswoman Sara Reitmeyer.

Although the children’s summer reading has been going on for more than 30 years, there is a program for teens and adults, too.

The age of the reader determines which program they can participate in. Pre-kindergarten and school-aged kids are in the children’s program, 13- to 18-year-olds are in the teen’s program, and adults are 18 and older.

Reitmeyer said the main difference between ages for submitting a drawing slip into a prize box is that children earn slips based on the hours the read and adults earn slips based on the amount of books they read.

Prizes range from temporary tattoos to a variety of free restaurant kids meals for the children’s program, $5 gift cards for an array of shops around Westfield to free movie passes for teens, and Jazzercise classes to a free pizza once a week for a year from Domino’s Pizza for adults.

“I’d also like to mention that this program wouldn’t be nearly as successful without the help of our sponsors who provide awesome prizes and incentives for participants,” Reitmeyer said, adding that there were more than 40 sponsors that helped donate the prizes to the library this year. “Our staff also deserves a big thank you for organizing the program and coordinating with sponsors months in advance to make it all happen every summer.”

The WWPL Summer Reading Program ends Aug. 10 and prizes will be distributed around a week later. To sign up for the Summer Reading Program, visit www.wwpl.lib.in.us/SRP/default.htm.

Another patio party planned

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

As part of its ongoing effort to transform downtown into “a place where connections are diversion made,” the Downtown Westfield Association will host its second “Party on the Patio” from 5 to 8 p.m. July 24.

The event, which is free and open to the public, is a small outdoor party/gettogether on the patio next to the DWA building at 211 S. Union St. DWA Director Ken Kingshill said these parties will occur at least monthly; possibly more often.

“We will provide music and some light refreshment. You provide the conversation,” he said. “Although not required, you may bring your favorite wine or brew to share. But don’t feel obligated to bring something. Just stop by for a few minutes or stay for a couple of hours – it’s up to you.”

Carpenter Realtors is the sponsor for the evening and live music will be provided by Island Breeze. Local Westfield brewer Brian Graham will be offering samples of his Notch 8 Brewery beer as well.

Kingshill said organizers weren’t

sure what the response would be at the inaugural “Party on the Patio” in June, but were pleasantly surprised.

“We were prepared for 20 or for 100. As it turned out, we estimate that before the evening was over we had 75 guests. That definitely qualifies as a success,” he said. “We hope to duplicate that number and maybe increase it at our second Party on the Patio on July 24.”

Kingshill said the idea for the event was to create a “buzz” – that something is happening downtown.

“The idea behind the Party on the Patio is to create a simple event that brings people to downtown Westfield,” he said. “It’s also an effort to put to good use the very nice patio area next to the DWA building.”

The construction of the Grand Junction Plaza by the city will serve as a catalyst for businesses to invest in the downtown area and ultimately make it a destination spot.

“I see the downtown as an amenity for everyone in Westfield – for all Westfield residents as well as businesses. A successful, vibrant downtown is something that draws people to live and work in a community,” Kingshill said.

Franciscan St. Francis Health earns best hospitals rankings news@currentinwestfield.com Franciscan St. Francis Health-Indianapolis has ranked No. 5 among Indiana hospitals in overall performance, according to U.S. News & World Report, which Achievement released its 2013-14 regional Best Hospitals listings on July 16.

In regional recognition, the Indianapolis hospital was rated “high-performing” in gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery, geriatrics, gynecology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery and pulmonology.

Franciscan St. Francis-Carmel was not included in the rankings.

“Our physicians, nurses and support staff continually work to improve clinical processes while using their extensive knowledge, experience and skills to ensure better outcomes and superior care for our patients,” said Robert J. Brody, regional president and chief executive officer for Franciscan St. Francis Health. “We’re pleased their efforts have been recognized.”

The rankings have been published at http://health.usnews. com/best-hospitals.

Traffic update – On July 20, crews temporarily closed Greyhound Pass west of U.S. 31 to just east of Greyhound Court for a maximum of 30 days. The closure will allow for construction of the ramp system that will connect Greyhound Pass to 151st and 146th streets. Motorists wishing to access Greyhound Pass or Greyhound Court on the west side of U.S. 31 may do so via the signed detour route which includes 151st Street, Western Way and 146th Street.

Deputies cycle to honor fallen news@currentinwestfield.com

Each day, Indiana law enforcement officers put themselves in harm’s way to keep their communities safe Philanthropy and each year some officers pay the ultimate price in performance of their duty.

On July 8, 10 members of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office participated in the first day of the Cops Cycling for Survivors bike ride to remember and honor those officers who have been killed in the line of duty. While riding almost 80 miles from Indianapolis to Richmond on Day 1

of a 13-day, 1,000 mile trek, deputies met with families and survivors of fallen officers as well as stopped to memorialize the officers. Deputy Bryant Orem said this is the third year that the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has participated in the ride and the group raised nearly $1,700 to contribute to the ride this year.

The Cops Cycling for Survivors foundation assists with the financial and emotional needs of survivors as well as making sure that fallen officers are never forgotten. Each summer, the group sponsors a bike ride that circles the state.

More than $26,000 was raised this year in the Ride to Remember.

Wellbrooke of Westfield opens new Health and Wellness Center in Grand Park

Of the 100 units at Westfield, 70 are licensed to provide skilled nursing, rehabilitation and therapy services, while the other 30 provide service-rich apartments for full-time assisted living. Turner said Wellbrooke has a high focus on rehabilitation but also offers long-term care and a residential area.

“Rehab can be for a few days up to 30 days. A majority are here short-term and go home,” he said.

Heer said the center provides physical, speech, occupational and recreational rehabilitation and includes outdoor areas for therapy. To provide “real-life” situations, Wellbrooke has a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and laundry room for residents to practice daily skills so they will feel comfortable returning home.

“Our recreational therapist is just really excited about the number of different options to do during the summer (with Grand Park’s trails and the upcoming Grand Park Village),” Heer said.

Wellbrooke also offers one-bedroom and studio apartments. The unfinished rooms come with a kitchenette and three meals a day cooked by the center’s staff. Heer said executive chefs have been hired to “focus on fine dining.”

“I take meals home to feed my family. It’s like we’re eating at a restaurant,” Turner said.

Wellbrooke of Westfield accepts Medicare and private insurance, as well as private pay, and welcomes admissions seven days a week.

“Any income level can come here,” Turner said.

Turner explained that healthcare has a “real problem” a there’s a gap where people go to get well.

“Baby boomers are demanding the kind of high-end, hospitalityoriented amenities that Wellbrooke of Westfield offers,” he said.

“This is a meaningful paradigm shift and just one of the many centers we are building to transform the industry across the United States.”

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com As grass begins to grow and lights are erected at Grand Park, the area just west of U.S. 31 in northern Westfield is starting to take shape. While the sports complex is cover story set to open in April 2014, Wellbrooke of Westfield, the new Center for Health and Wellness, is celebrating its grand opening today, July 23 – officially opening the economic development in the area.

“We’re excited to be the trailblazer,” Mainstreet Properties CEO Zeke Turner said. “We’re just on the edge of being something quite tremendous.”

“The interest from the business community and the citizens of Westfield has been outstanding, and we’re so appreciative,” Phil Heer, Wellbrooke of Westfield general manager, said. “Seeing the finished product, and the reactions of those touring for the first time, will be exciting. I’ve had so many people comment to me already that it is unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.”

Wellbrooke of Westfield, 937 E. 186th St., is a joint venture of Life Care Services and developer Mainstreet. The 100-unit seniors housing and care facility is appraised at $17.86 million. Turner said the Wellbrooke project, which started a year and a half ago, is now preparing to accept residents.

“We wanted to do a development in this area. It was the right opportunity and site options. I liked the Grand Park vision,” he said.

Wellbrooke is one of Mainstreet’s Next Generation facilities, which designs offer hotel-like properties that transform seniors housing and care into a hospitality experience by incorporating concierge-based services to specifically cater to the evolving demands of the growing senior population. Even the nurses’ stations look more like an office than medical facility.

“It’s less hospital, more hospitality,” Turner said. “We’re making

it as non-institutional feeling as possible.”

The hotel-like environment is designed to be comfortable and engaging with concierge-style services and amenities such as four different dining venues, onsite bakery, fitness center and 24-hour food delivery.

“Our goal with Wellbrooke of Westfield is to create a unique center where seniors can receive the quality care they expect while living in a place they can really enjoy,” Turner said.

The social scene also is important to the Wellbrooke. Instead of BINGO or karaoke, Turner said the center will offer cooking classes with the staff’s executive chef, happy hours at two pubs, a billiards room and movie theater.

“It gets (residents) out of their room and improves their quality of life,” he said. “We want them to feel like they are independent and living their life.”

Meet Zeke Turner

Zeke Turner founded Mainstreet in 2002 and serves in the role of chairman and CEO of the company.

Before establishing Mainstreet, Turner worked on Wall Street with Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking (formerly Salomon Smith Barney). He grew up in Gas City and said coming back to Indiana appealed to him because he knew it was a great place to raise a family, and also because the economics of having a company in Indiana made sense. Turner said Indiana’s central location makes travel easier and the quality of life here can attract talent.

Turner graduated cum laude from Taylor University in Upland with a bachelor’s degree in international business with finance and economics concentrations and a bachelor’s degree in business administration/systems. While at Taylor, Turner also played on the school’s basketball and football teams.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Your tax dollars (hardly) at work

Take another shot It is our position that the proposed location for a gun store and shooting range in the heart of Carmel needs to be reexamined.

Mayor Brainard hit the nail on the head by stating that the proposal is not appropriate.

Though zoning for such a facility may be perfectly within the legal limits, sometimes common sense needs to prevail over legality. The planned location just north of the Monon Trail is near housing, Carmel High School and neighbors Dairy Queen. Treating the kids or the local little league team to an ice cream sundae with the sound of bullets in the background and folks packing heat in the neighboring parking doesn’t exactly scream, “family friendly.”

Certainly, there is a location that is more appropriate for housing a gun store and shooting range. A similar facility recently opened in Blue Ash, an upscale suburb of Cincinnati and has garnered several noise complaints from neighbors. While the business is in compliance with community zoning laws, the noise is still a nuisance. Is it a coincidence that the proposed Carmel location is across the street from a funeral home or a foreshadowing of unintended consequences of such a business in the middle of town? Take another shot at finding a more appropriate location.

A loss for words Commentary by Terry Anker The words escape me. While our interactions are made up of countless verbal and nonverbal communications each day – really in almost every moment of each day, the use of language is perhaps the most relied upon. Yet, in so many areas of our lives, we seem unable or unwilling to identify and deploy the right words at the right time. Too often we sit idly by as those closest to us struggle or slip into despair, yet we fail to express concern, support or even attention to the matter.

Many years ago when our oldest was just a toddler, we were visiting family for a holiday meal. Like many homeowners, they had an area rug to anchor the seating area in the living room.

The toddler did as toddlers do and teetered around all the while developing his emerging equilibrium. Eventually he fell, hitting the coffee table and opening a cut on his forehead.

During the ensuing chaos, one of the adults, clearly upset by the drama, exclaimed, “I KNEW

this was going to happen.” Was he upset at the rug placement? Was he upset by my lack of attentive parenting? Was he upset that the boy had not mastered standing up? It wasn’t really clear, but if he knew of the impending harm, why didn’t he work to prevent it? Could a word in advance have avoided the damage? When asked, he expressed an inability to come up with the words to warn without criticism and risked being chastised had he sounded the alarm too vociferously.

Today, the talking heads scream and yell about Warren, Treyvon, Kanye and Rupert with equal fervor. Yet, we still seem unable to find the words to have a conversation about the economy, media, teachers or race. What are we losing because of our loss for words?

We heartily salute Americans for Tax Reform (www.atr.org) for getting up underneath all the verbiage of the Obamacare documents to reveal the top five most-absurd taxpayer-funded plan promotions (and no, we’re not making this up; stay with us, please): Coffee-cup sleeves. Oregon may begin printing Obamacare notices on coffee cup sleeves so everyone is aware of the great “opportunity” for higher premiums. “That’s what we’re thinking right now for getting to those hard-to-reach populations,” a spokeswoman for the Oregon Insurance Exchange said. Really, she did say that.

“Modern Family” plot revisions. California has signed a $900,000 contract with a public relations firm to market the state Obamacare exchange. One proposal is to write about the exchange in plotlines for primetime shows.

We always thought our tax dollars somehow ended up in Hollywood; now, we know.

Airplane banner ads over beaches. Federal dollars provided through exchange grants in Connecticut will pay for beach flyovers advertising Obamacare. Wait! It gets better (or worse, depending on your appetite for sheer idiocy).

“Get covered” messages on sunscreen containers. Access Health CT, the official state health insurance exchange, will even be at Sailfest, a southeastern Connecticut event that attracts more than 300,000 people annually, to promote the exchange. Thank the Constitution State citizens for paying for that, uh, effort.

Porta-Potty ads. Washington’s health exchange is promoting itself to young people in the music-loving state with outreach at concerts and music festivals, so why not do a branding exercise in or on the portable bathrooms? Because it, like the rest of the aforementioned, are typically dunderheaded efforts to spread a message no one wants to hear because the creators of the initiative don’t understand it in the first place. ’Merica!

Citizens is excited about future

To Westfield Utilities Customers: Citizens Energy Group is excited about creating Citizens Utilities of Westfield to continue the outstanding service guest column customers have come to enjoy, while ensuring water supply vital to the community’s ongoing growth.

Pending approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, Citizens will create an integrated gas, water and wastewater utility for the Westfield community. As we have done with Citizens Gas of Westfield since 2005, Citizens is committed to expanding and upgrading the water and wastewater systems to ensure reliability, water quality, environmental protection and growth of residential areas and businesses in the Westfield area. Of course, Westfield area customers who have natural gas service with Vectren will not be required to change their gas service.

Citizens Utilities of Westfield will have rates based on the operating costs and system investments necessary in Westfield, not the costs and investments necessary in Indianapolis. While the Westfield City Council has already approved annual rate increases for each of the next five years, Citizens estimates it will be able to reduce future rates by about 16 percent by the year 2022. Rates will be regulated by the IURC. With access to nine well fields, three reservoirs and the White River, no water utility in

Central Indiana is better positioned to provide water supply security for the people of Westfield.

As the largest water supplier in Central Indiana, Citizens’ ownership will allow for a more regional approach to water supply planning that will ensure a more sustainable water supply for Westfield and all the communities that we serve.

Citizens has a proven track record for providing outstanding customer service for newly acquired utility customers, including in Westfield. Citizens Utilities of Westfield customers will enjoy the convenience of a combined gas, water and wastewater bill, with multiple payment options such as budget billing and online bill payment. Retaining Westfield employees will be a key factor in our ability to provide excellent service and system reliability.

We also will continue to be an outstanding community partner. Citizens Utilities of Westfield will look for opportunities to expand our commitment to reinvesting in the Westfield community.

You can count on Citizens to be accountable to the short and long-term needs of the Westfield community. In the weeks ahead, after we receive approval for the utility transfer from the IURC, you will hear more about our plans for a smooth transition for Westfield Utilities customers. We are ready to serve you and provide a full array of safe, affordable utility services that will enhance the quality of life in the Westfield community.

Sincerely, Carey Lykins CEO, President Citizens Energy Group

Differences make them special Commentary by Danielle WIlson

After spending two weeks immersing myself in five currencies, four languages, and three continents, I thought I’d share some humor thoughts from my adventures in Morocco, Egypt and Turkey.

Admittedly, I was anxious about being kidnapped or shivved. I was headed to three Islamic countries in Africa and the Middle East, and as people continuously reminded me, “That’s where the terrorists live!” In actuality, though, people there are just like folks here (except for Cairo motorists – they’re insane!) Yes, we did have a couple of times where we thought we might be on our way to an untimely and torturous death, such as when two taxi drivers in Casablanca kept trading us back and forth and arguing in Arabic as they drove side-by-side on a rural road. And an angry mob did beat on our car as we attempted to reach the pyramids. But those moments were simply a conspiracy plot between our overly active imaginations and Muslim stereotypes. The cabbies were just trying to get us to the airport without blowing an engine on the highway and the Giza men just wanted customers. Everyone we met was extremely welcoming and adored Americans, even gingers. I heard “pretty lady” a lot!

I also stressed about stomach bugs and/or food poisoning. Nothing ruins a vacation like traveler’s diarrhea. To that end, I was adamant about not drinking “the water” and avoiding all street

foods and raw produce. But what’s the fun in that? So, we took our chances with vender falafel, pigeon pastille, and several platters of freshly washed vegetables. Doo had one “bad” day of koshary butt (due more from the spices than the quality of the food, I suspect), but even he said it was worth it. Couscous, lamb tanjine, rice pudding – these are now a few of my favorite things!

A visit to this part of the world wouldn’t be complete if you didn’t spend a morning haggling over a rug. In our case, we didn’t know we were in the process of buying one until an hour in. We just thought the nice man giving us a thorough history of local textiles and serving us mint tea was being hospitable. Nope. He put aluminumsiding salesmen to absolute shame.

We took more than 700 pictures and 30 videos, encountered cobras, belly dancers and 5,000-year-old mummies, and haggled our way into a beautiful hand-made Moroccan carpet. But the most memorable part was the people. Their faith, languages and currencies were definitely “foreign,” but their friendships will be valued all the more for exactly those differences. Here’s hoping you get the chance to do some adventurous traveling of your own. Sa-laam out.

Trust has always been a key factor in dealing with a government, organizations, business partners, subordinates, peers, politics family and friends. Trust is built during a period of time but can be broken quite easily. Remember how your trust meter dropped when you caught someone you knew in a lie? It is virtually impossible to trust individuals or organizations who don’t tell the truth. As a child growing up in Chicago, my parents would only lock the door to our house at bedtime or when we went out, because they trusted people. I doubt that happens today in Chicago or even in Hamilton County where we have such a low crime rate. So where does this put trust in our society today?

Trust is based on the truth, so with liars running amok in America it has become difficult to trust anyone, especially politicians and government. Does this mean that we can’t trust anyone or anything? No, but it will be a long time before people will be able to trust politicians and government based on what continues to come from Washington. This also holds true here in Indiana when we have been lied to or had facts omitted on many issues being pitched to us.

Since I don’t see a lot of movement among politicians and government to correct the problems or take action against the offenders, I don’t

think that trust will be restored soon. We have IRS employees going unpunished for infringing on personal liberty, and spending almost $50 million for lavish conferences. We have the National Security Agency allowing a low-level employee access to a huge amount of our personal data without monitoring his activity. Then they tell us not to worry about all of our telephone records and emails on file somewhere because they only get looked at after getting a court order. How can anyone trust these people and organizations?

Well, what do we do; just sit here and trust the politicians and government? Absolutely not!

Our only direct power to change government is to vote the liars and untrustworthy politicians out of office. It amazes me that Congress as a whole has a less than an 8-percent approval rating yet 95+ percent of the individual Congress people are reelected every two years. I also don’t understand why just a small percentage of eligible voters in Hamilton County register to vote, and even fewer actually do vote. We cannot continue on this path if we want to keep the liberties in our Constitution. Please, Wake up, America!

Wright is most famous for performing with the Wright Brothers but also is known for a voice as nimble as his fingers. He’ll move from singing in a Garth Brooks twang to a James Taylor song all while picking a seemingly endless succession of stringed instruments: banjo, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, dobro, and pedal steel. Hubbard & Cravens is on the interior of Carmel City Center on the southwest corner of Range Line Road and City Center Drive. For reservations, contact Hubbard & Cravens at 805-1888.

Celebrating 20 years of the Bard

By Mark Johnson • news@currentinwestfield.com

When the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission opens its production of “Romeo and Juliet” on July 26, it will be making theater Noblesville history. This summer’s production will mark the 20th anniversary of the commission’s “Shakespeare in the Park,” Central Indiana’s longest running annual event featuring the works of the Bard.

During those 20 years, the productions have spanned the width and breadth of William Shakespeare’s literary plays: comedy, tragedy, history plays. Hamilton County historian David Heighway remembers the inaugural production from 1993.

“It was ‘A Mid Summer’s Night Dream,’ he said.

“We’ve also done the play twice since then.”

Heighway said the popularity of the annual presentation is due to Shakespeare’s poetry, honor, laughter, magic and love.

“Since the first production, it’s been steadily popular,” he said. “Attendance varies from year to year, usually depending on the weather. The great thing about a production this size is that it’s light on its feet, light on the expenses. It runs on its own steam.”

Now entering its third decade, Heighway said performances are for the family and audience members of all ages.

“The relaxed audience atmosphere in combination with modern explanations make the performance understandable even for those people

Competition extends its reach

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com “The Song Is You” runs the title of a standard from the vast library of what Michael Feinstein calls the Great American Songbook, and in fact the 2013 Great American Songbook High School Vocal Academy and Competition tries to forge an identity between young vocal talents and the enduring output of America’s best popular songwriters in the era roughly between World War I and the Vietnam War. It’s not surprising that the song, by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, also lends its name to the current fund-raising campaign for the Feinstein Initiative’s showcase of great American songs and their up-and-coming interpreters. Financial support and emerging artists necessarily go together in such ventures.

This year’s competition, a ticketed public event, will take place July 26 at the Palladium. It will cap a five-day academy putting the 10 contestants through their paces with members of the jury, who are also described as mentors to underline the educational purpose of the project. Sandi Patty and Sylvia McNair will conduct a master class with Feinstein; Jim Caruso and Jane Monheit will each lead a workshop with the students and combine their expertise for a workshop with the finalists.

The contestants, all in high school at the time of their selection, were chosen as the result of five regional competitions, each of them comprising 10 participants who topped the field of online applicants in their respective regions.

For the first time since Feinstein inaugurated the competition in 2009, 22 states were declared eligible places of residence, doubling the reach of the contest, according to competition director Chris Lewis. To accommodate the expansion, a fifth regional competition was added — in Atlanta. The other regional centers where one-day workshops, master classes and evening performances took place in May and June are Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Ann Arbor, Mich.

The 2013 participants will be competing for a $3,000 cash award and the opportunity to share the bill with Feinstein in a professional engagement at a location to be determined.

Performance opportunities extend for a year beyond the top singer’s selection; they include singing the national anthem at an Indianapolis Colts home game and performing at the 2014 Great American Songbook Hall of Fame Gala. Second- and third-place awards of $2,000 and $1,500, respectively, are stipulated for furthering the recipients’ musical education.

from the editor

When Current Publishing commissioned independent marketplace research, one of the most interesting results, when it came to shopping and other activities, involved Keystone at the Crossing.

Simply put, survey respondents overwhelmingly named the Crossing as their preferred destination for expending disposable income. And shopping isn’t the only magnetic element at the Crossing. Respondents pointed to the following, as well:

tell us where you shop • Dine out at a sit-down/table-service restaurant • Dine out at a fine-dining restaurant • Live performance of any kind • Do-it-yourself project • Renovation • Spa treatments As Current is delivered to 100 percent of the so-called “Advan-

taged Belt” encompassing Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville – the most-coveted of all combined markets in the state, we thought we would start to take a closer look at the Crossing and all that it offers. We’ll do this in installments, with the second and third this year coming in September and November.

Please tell us which Crossing businesses you frequent and why, and we’ll include your comments in the next special advertising section we do for this prominent area. Send us a note at info@ youarecurrent.com.

With summer in full swing, here are some midseason skincare reminders to help you enjoy the sun safely.

Summer Difference between “sunscreen” and “sunblock” – Chemical sunscreens filter ultraviolet light and reduce penetration into the skin. These include avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, oxybenzone and oxtinoxate. Most chemical sunscreens now protect from both UVA and UVB rays, but be sure to check labels for “broad spectrum coverage.” Physical sunblocks include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These reflect the sun to prevent absorption of both UVA and UVB rays through the skin.

Choosing the right SPF – Use a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, which should provide 97 percent protection from UVA and UVB rays if applied appropriately. For children older

as a rash each spring upon first sun exposure and improves during the next few months as sun exposure continues.

Treatment – Recommended remedies for mild cases of sunburn include applying cool cloths to affected skin or taking frequent cool showers or baths. Lotions with aloe vera can also help soothe skin. Topical steroids, such as hydrocortisone cream, may help alleviate sunburn pain and swelling. Do not use topical steroids on children under 2 without consulting a doctor. For more serious cases of sunburn or sun poisoning, call your doctor.

than 6 months, physical sunblocks, containing fewer chemicals, are the best choice.

Application amount and frequency – Because UV light breaks down sun protection products in just a few hours, reapplying every two hours is recommended. I advise applying a physical sunblock to the entire body before going out in the sun. Then if a chemical sunscreen is preferred, apply one with SPF 30 or higher every two hours. For most adults, a quarter cup of sunscreen/sunblock should adequately cover the body.

“Sunburn” and “sun poisoning” explained – Sunburn results from over exposure to ultraviolet light, which leads to immediate redness, burning, pain and blisters. Sunburn can also cause brown spots, wrinkles and skin cancer.

Sun poisoning can refer to a severe sunburn resulting in fever, chills, headache, nausea and dizziness. It can also refer to polymorphous light eruption (sun sensitivity). Typically, this appears

Home sales dip in June

Commentary by Jim Litten

With 2,637 sales in June in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 19.9 percent compared to real estate this time last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Co. On a monthly basis, June 2013 home sales rose 9.7 percent over June 2012, an increase of 233 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. All nine counties reported increased sales compared to June 2012. For 26 straight months, existing home sales have shown month-tomonth improvement.

The trend of positive sales can be found in Hamilton County. Last month, 610 homes pended in Hamilton County, an increase of 47 homes compared to June 2012. In the first half of this year in Hamilton County, 3,621 homes pended – up 23.5 percent compared to the same time period last year.

During any housing market recovery, we expect that some areas will experience fluctuations. In June 2013, Westfield pended home sales dipped 20.2 percent to 71 from 89 compared to June 2012.

Inventory in Westfield continues to decrease.

Last month, 254 homes were for sale, while 345 homes were on the market June 2012.

Buyers are discovering that homes are staying on the market for shorter periods. In June 2013, homes in Westfield remained on the market an average of 57 days, 16 fewer days than June 2012.

Westfield home prices are experiencing a noticeable increase. In June 2013, the average sales price was $280,933, an increase of 25.3 percent from last June.

Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, five were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 11 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 27 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 27 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced less than $99,999.

The first half of the year has finished strong.

Increases in home sales and home prices and decreases in inventory are positive signs that the Central Indiana real estate recovery continues to move in a positive direction.

However can I use ‘however?’

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

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

When It’s Time To Say Goodbye...

We’re Here For You We understand the sadness associated with losing a beloved pet. When the need arises, we offer compassionate pick up of your pet from your home or veterinarian's clinic; private cremation or burial assistance.

Question: “I have never considered myself a grammar geek; I have, however, begun to realize that since I look forgrammar guy ward to your article in each issue of the Current, it may be true. Your Oxford Comma article was fodder for an occasional discussion I have with a friend of mine about the correct use, and I very much appreciated your article a few weeks ago about the use of quotations and being on the outside of punctuation. That is a major pet peeve of mine that I correct in many editing projects! Anyway, I thought you might tackle the use of ‘however.’ I am particularly annoyed when it is used to begin a sentence and would like more info on its correct use.” (Andrea Hern Gilliam) Answer: Thanks for writing in, Andrea. Consider “however” loaded up. Let’s knock this one out of the park.

“However” serves double duty as a conjunctive adverb, meaning it can either be used to join two clauses together or to modify one. As an adverb, “however” means “in whatever manner or way” or “to whatever degree or extent:” “Paint your room however you like.” “I’ll make the sandwich however you choose.” As a conjunction, “however” means “in spite of” or “on the other hand.” As an example: “I’d like to go running today, however, it’s raining.” Notice that when used as a conjunction, “however” is paired with

Ja n’ s

a comma.

Many older style guides do typically advise against using “however” to begin a sentence.

However, that convention has mostly fallen by the wayside. It is still important, though, to note whether you’re using “however” as an adverb or conjunction to determine whether a comma is appropriate. Consider the chorus of The Cure’s “Lovesong:” “However far away, I will always love you. However long I stay, I will always love you.”

Here “however” modifies “far” to say, more or less, “no matter what distance we are from each other, I will love you.” How romantic.

When “however” is used as a conjunction, you won’t be able to find a word that it modifies; rather, it will be joining two clauses. Consider the following example sentence: “I’d like to keep talking with you; however, our time is up.” As a conjunction, “however” can simply be thought of as a synonym of “but.” Note that, when joining two independent clauses, a semicolon will be indicated in addition to a comma.

To wrap this up: Yes, you can start a sentence with “however.” However, make sure you are using it appropriately, and have all the necessary punctuation.

BANG, BANG! Watching the red carpets and flipping through fashion mags is a great way to find out what is in vogue. Over the past couple months, one of the main hair fashions seen on style icons is…bangs.

OVERPLUCKED? Choose an eyebrow pencil that is a shade slightly lighter than your hair so the color looks natural. Fill in over plucked areas first with the pencil and go over the area again with a brow powder. The brow powder will soften the line from the pencil, giving your makeup a softer look. Salon 01 has trained estheticians on staff who can help you learn this trick of the trade, and many other beauty secrets.

DID YOU KNOW? Salon 01 is the official salon of the Indiana Pacemates! We style their hair for photo shoots and games all throughout the season! If you see a look that you like down at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, be sure to give Salon 01 a call. The stylist will be happy to customize the look especially for you!

While bangs may be popular amongst celebs, how do you know if they are right for you? Bangs are high-maintenance, but can be a great asset to your style. Bangs are great for large foreheads. They also best suit faces with strong features.

For delicate facial features, be sure not to get lost behind excessively thick bangs. If you have curly or thick hair, be careful that your bangs are not too short. They may have a tendency to stand on end if not cut to the right length.

For your best bet, consult with a stylist who is trained in understanding facial shapes and hair texture.

Remember: it is important to keep your bangs at an appropriate length. They need to be trimmed by a professional about every 2-4 weeks.

MAD HATTER Hats make a great fashion statement, but when you wear a hat you want a hair style that still looks good when the hat comes off. There is no reason to shy away from this chic accessory because of the fear of “hat head.” The solution? A classic half-up/half-down look that might remind you of your schoolgirl days is a perfect resting place for your hat. If you are still unsure, pack a comb and travel hairspray in your bag as extra insurance on your post-hat ‘do’.

Furniture should flank a room’s focal point. (Submitted photo)

Room arranging like a pro

Commentary by Vicky Earley

You know when a room is arranged well. Balance and harmony paired with function creates a winning room and a welindoors coming feel is instant.

Pros will always begin by identifying the focal point of the room. Typically it is a fireplace or window that overlooks beautiful trees or gardens. If a room is used for television viewing, it is best to identify the aesthetic focal and attempt to work the television into the area.

Don’t underestimate the importance of easy conversation. Arrange furnishings face to face with a coffee table for ease when entertaining.

If your room is long and narrow, divide the room into separate areas with furniture. This could be as simple as defining the space as dining and living by backing the sofa up near the table or actually having two separate conversation areas. Either way, it eliminates the look of a bowling alley when it is divided.

The traditional sofa and chairs are not mandatory for a well-furnished room. Four chairs situated around a coffee table is an unexpected surprise and is fabulous when entertaining.

An unused corner can be developed into a quiet getaway space by tucking a chair, ottoman and table into the area. A table lamp finishes the

space and allows for uninterrupted reading.

Pros will often times unify a seating space with an area rug. This is true even if there is a neutral wall to wall carpet in the room.

Square rooms can end up looking boxy and boring when everything is placed on the walls.

By placing furniture on the diagonal, the room develops personality. Use the sofa and coffee table to indicate the diagonal line and arrange the other furnishings on the same axis. Once again, the area should be anchored with an area rug laid on the same angle.

Recognize if you are more comfortable with symmetry or asymmetry and assign furnishings accordingly. Chairs placed on each side of a fireplace or sofas that face each other are perfect examples of a symmetric arrangement.

If asymmetry is more appealing, avoid making it a hodgepodge of sizes. Balance is still important with an asymmetric room layout.

There are a multitude of websites that allow you to test your layout digitally. This can save your back as well as your sanity.

Cosmetic remodel transforms kitchen’s feel and function

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing kitchen: These long-time Carmel residents remember the peace and quiet that used to be the norm in their neighborhood. Indeed, when they blueprint for built their home improvement in the late 1960s, they chose their Carmel lot because of the trees and the quiet. After 40 years of growth, they still love their home and their neighborhood, but their house was in need of an update.

“The kitchen had the original dark woodstained cabinets, and I had to keep many of my small appliances in the garage because there was not enough room,” said one of the homeowners. “We had an antique kitchen table, too.”

A railing separated the kitchen from the family room, and the floors were covered in carpet.

Beyond updating the look, bringing more storage and functionality into the space without expanding the footprint was a goal of this cosmetic kitchen remodel.

New breakfast bar: The area housing the kitchen table was a natural place to add additional cabinetry, counter space and seating. “We have the dining room for entertaining, so we did not need a table in the kitchen,” the owner said.

The new breakfast bar design added cabinetry in an L-shape to serve as the transition between the kitchen and the family room. A solid surface

countertop covers the peninsula, where two bar stools provide seating.

Cabinet modifications: To lighten the kitchen, the existing cabinetry was painted a warm white, and subway tile in Ragno Boardwalk was used on the backsplash. For contrast, the new birch cabinetry includes a Twilight dark stain.

Large ceramic tile flooring replaced the carpet, and the new lighting scheme included under cabinet lights and pendants above the peninsula.

Final results: Although the changes were few, the impact was dramatic. The new cabinetry provided more storage, allowing the homeowners to store all of their tools and utensils

in the kitchen. The peninsula created an openconcept feel to the space, and the taller crown molding on the new cabinetry added architectural interest. “We do not miss the old kitchen,” said one of the homeowners. “An updated space gives you lift.”
