City verifies tax amendment for DuraMark

By Noah Alatza • news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield City Council met July 24. The next meeting is 7 p.m. Aug. 14 at City Hall, 130 Penn St. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

What happened: Council verified tax abatement for DuraMark Technologies.

What it means: The council previously approved a 10-year personal property tax abatement for DuraMark in December 2012. DuraMark produces safety The front of DuraMark headquarters at Southpark Drive in labels and branding Westfield. (Submitted photo) decals for manufacturing companies. The state originally offered DuraMark up to $350,000 in conditional, job creation-related incentives, which it received. After DuraMark Technologies Inc. finished construction of a new $2 million, 18,000-square-foot headquarters in Westfield last August, the company returned to the Westfield council and requested benefits of the previously approved real property tax abatement for the project on the same terms and subject to the same restrictions as the previously approved measure. It would save the company nearly 50 percent on the property taxes for the project during the next 10 years. Savings would top $280,000, according to city spokeswoman Erin Murphy.

What happened: City approved Issuance of Westfield Redevelopment District Tax, 7-0.

What it means: City councilors unanimously approved the issuance of revenue bonds for the Westfield Redevelopment Commission. Westfield would save $370,000 a year. The bonds are reviewed on an annual basis, according to Matthew Skelton, Westfield’s Director of Economic and Community Development.

What happened: The Spring Mill Station Planned Unit Development was approved unanimously.

What it means: A public hearing was held on the PUD at a July 11 advisory plan commission meeting.

The new ordinance calls for removal of an existing sign at 161st Street and Springmill Road, and the addition of two monument signs, along with a drive-thru for a future coffee shop. Despite concerns about the project from residents who live on the north and south sides of the property, the plan commission forwarded the resolution to council, 7-0. On that favorable recommendation, the city council also approved the measure, 7-0.

Neighbors question potential Ind. 32 expansion

30 South Range Line Road Carmel, IN 46032 317.489.4444 info@youarecurrent.com The views of the columnists in Current in Westfield are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

In a story published in Current in Westfield’s July 18 edition, “Leaders, Willow Creek neighbors meet to discuss fate Roads of Ind. 32 corridor,” it was stated that Willow Creek is the only neighborhood in the City of Westfield that has only one entrance and exit on a state road. Neighbors expressed concern that two other subdivisions, Timberbrook Run and Newby Heights, also have one entrance. The difference, according to city records, is that Timberbrook Run also has an emergency exit for flooding vehicles in the rear of the neighborhood, which Willow Creek does not.

Newby Heights has an exit leading to Shamrock Boulevard which is sometimes gated during school hours.

Three-year resident of Timberbrook Run, Matthew Stach, said residents only use the exit in times of extreme flooding.

Timberbrook Run residents said their neighborhood has only one entrance and exit to Ind. 32, but an exit also is available in the rear of the neighborhood for emergency flooding vehicles. (Source: Google Maps)

“From what I understand, it’s drivable, it sits in the back of our subdivision,” Stach said. “It’s a piece of grass, essentially, that drives up to Sanders Glen. When the front has flooded in years past, drivers had to use this to get in and out.”

Timberbrook Run has no established Homeowners Association. With approximately 30 to 40 homes, most residents have lived in the subdivision since the 1990s. Stach said he

is one of the few younger families with children. The neighborhood relies entirely on two neighbors to maintain the grounds near the front entrance.

Stach said depending on the time of day or year, the traffic flow from Union Street can back up to the front entrance.

“Certain times of the year are the worst, especially during the school year,” he said. “In the morning from about 7:30 to 8:15, school traffic westbound headed toward (Union Street) backs up past our neighborhood.

Rush hour is even more difficult. The lights at (Carey Road) and (Union Street) are poorly timed.”

Despite a five-year timetable before the state may make any significant changes to Ind. 32, residents are already asking what is next. Although no further meetings are planned, Stach said he “would certainly” be willing to attend public hearings or meetings and is sure other residents are eager to, also.

It is a booming time for Westfield-based Indiana Mills and Manufacturing, Inc., 18881 IMMI Way. The company angrowth nounced mid-July it would hire an additional 55 full-time manufacturing employees to keep up with the growing demand for its SafeGuard seat belts on school buses. “(IMMI) wants to better protect kids on buses,” said Julie Cooley, IMMI’s director of communications and marketing. “More states are making it a requirement to have seat belts on school buses.”

Only six states are required by law to have seat belts on buses. Indiana is not among them, but Cooley said IMMI is ahead of the game and leading the industry.

“It has been a real blessing to have all these seats made right here in Westfield,” she said. “The (seat belts) are protecting children from across the world.”

IMMI employs approximately 1,400 people globally, with nearly 500 of those jobs in Westfield. In 2014, Westfield Washington Schools tried a test pilot program on 10 buses by retrofitting them with new seat

belts. After more than a year, the district opted out of expanding the use of seat belts. Due to finances, a decision hasn’t been made about resuming the program.

In May, Westfield parents raised concerns on Facebook after reporting overcrowded buses. Some parents said children were crammed three to a seat and sometimes were forced to sit on the floor. In response, the district ordered an additional four buses to its nearly 80 buses. Two more buses might be ordered in the future, depending on tax revenue.

Food pantry launches new facility, holds open house

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A concept to expand the Open Doors facility began to take shape more than two years ago and is finally cover story coming to fruition. The food pantry was required to vacate the old fire station it occupied for 23 years due to Grand Junction Plaza development.

On Aug. 12, the public will see the pantry’s new site and warehouse at 19360 Tomlinson Rd. The new facility encompasses 5,000 square feet, twice the size of its previous location. Open Doors celebrates 27 years of operation this summer.

EFFICIENT SPACE

Board treasurer Jerry Rosenberger said the space is much more efficient and flooding won’t occur as often. At the previous building, there was never enough space to store all the food.

“We now have space to store products during the year,” Rosenberger said. “Before, things were stored every which way – at Christ United Methodist Church, in people’s garages. We just didn’t have enough room for anything.”

Now, the facility has enough room for the food haul from the yearly U.S. Postal Service Stamp Out Hunger food drive, which reaped 29,000 pounds of food for Open Doors. The Postal Service food drive is Open Doors’ largest food drive each year, but it also benefits from local Boy and Girl Scout troops, schools and churches. It also receives food from Gleaners Food Bank and

the Midwest Food Bank. Open Doors gets much of its frozen meat from Gleaners, which it became a member of in April 2016.

In addition to food, the pantry also provides shoes, clothing, bedding, children’s books, hygiene products, accessories and basic health care products to those in need. All non-food products are displayed and stored in the new facility.

RAISING FUNDS

The move was made possible by a capital campaign that raised more than $310,000 from community members and partners.

Open Doors broke ground on the facility, adjacent to the Monon Trail Elementary School, last July.

During construction, most of the contracted work also was donated.

“A lot more than monetary donations were made,” said Bruce Watson, vice president of the pantry’s board. “Almost all the subcontractors that worked on the interior

of the building donated their time, like electric, concrete and plumbing.”

Rosenberger said his son volunteered as project manager throughout construction.

All the carpet also was donated.

The pantry is open from 9 to 11:50 a.m.

Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, but the hours could expand based on need. During

operating hours, there are at least 10 volunteers in the facility. The volunteers come from the pantry’s 10 partner churches and the community. Approximately 70 volunteers help run the facility each month.

To volunteer or donate, visit opendoorswestfield.org.

groundbreaking stakes During the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Open Doors Food Pantry facility last July, community members wrote prayers, blessings and inspiring messages on wooden stakes that were then included in the building.

“When we dug for the foundation, we had a trench around the property where we placed those stakes, and then the concrete was poured over them,” said Bruce Watson, vice president of the board for Open Doors. “We kept track of them and made a poster with some of the stakes’ sayings.”

Bruce Watson showcases some of the stake messages from the facility’s groundbreaking.

o b s e r v ation Limiting the defensive line

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Some days are perfect. The sun is shining. We awake refreshed before our alarm clocks roust us from our sublime slumber.

The day ahead is filled with anticipation and high expectations. And then, there are other days. The ones in which the rain falling is expected to change to ice – likely during our commute. The alarm failed to sound (or, more likely, we shut it off accidentally because of a restless night) and we are now already late for work.

We take them all, these contradictory days, in stride. What choice do we have?

Like a football team we gauge the nature of our opposition to plot our strategy. In some instances, we take an offensive stance. Running up the score, we expect to defeat weak resistance. But just as often, we must rely upon our defensive line. We dig in and cling to the earth, fighting for each inch as if they were yards. Do it we must; the game depends on our ability to stop the onslaught.

Yet, do we take the deportment too often? Would we be better if we ran the ball instead of burying it? Sure, it is OK to be defensive – sometimes it is the savviest move. But, it is not OK to feel perennially defensive. Human interaction requires that all parties engage and participate, each time, every time. When people imagine themselves under attack, they claim pardon from engagement. And, in the most severe and deplorable cases, they bully those around them into equal withdrawal.

Civil societies advance while dictatorships do not. Isn’t a constantly defensive posture a failed strategy?

Wipe the slate clean: Indiana’s Second Chance Law Commentary by Jim Crum Do you have a past arrest or conviction for a crime that is making it difficult for you to land the job you want? law In 2013, the Indiana Legislature made it possible for you to wipe clean most of your criminal arrests and convictions. Known as the Second Chance Law, Indiana’s expungement law allows you to expunge misdemeanor convictions as long as five years have elapsed since your most recent conviction, you have no charges or investigations pending and you have paid all costs associated with the conviction. Importantly, in the case of drunk driving cases, the conviction also will be expunged from your BMV record.

Misdemeanors aren’t the only convictions you can wipe off your record. Most Level 6 or D-felonies (think theft, narcotic possession, multiple offense OWIs) can be expunged as long as eight years have elapsed since conviction date and all other requirements mentioned above are met. Although there are some exceptions,

as long as you meet the requirements the judge must expunge your misdemeanor and Level 6/D-felony convictions.

Once the convictions are expunged, the law states that you must be treated as if you have never been convicted of the offense. Additionally, when asked on a job application if you have ever been convicted of a crime, you can legally say “no.”

You can only seek expungement once in your lifetime.

For those who have been arrested, but never convicted, that arrest is likely showing up on a background check. The expungement law applies here as well, and you can have the judge order that the arrest record be sealed from public access after one year from date of arrest.

Lastly, as you can imagine, there are exceptions to all of the rules discussed in this article that may affect expungement.

Jim Crum is an attorney at law with Coots, Henke & Wheeler, P.C., 255 E. Carmel Dr. He can be reached at 317-844-4693 or jcrum@ chwlaw.com.

While I was watching the Peyton Manning bit he did for the ESPY Awards about his new life in a retirement humor home, all I kept thinking was “Exactly.” Senior living facilities sound like a little slice of heaven. Yes, Medicare is still a couple of decades away for me, but AARP is less than five years out.

Happy Acres could be a reality just as my youngest graduates high school!

I’m serious, folks. Peyton jokes about early dinners, craft time and competitive shuffle board, but ask anyone who knows me well and they’ll tell you those have “Danielle’s Dream Come True” written all over them. And having someone else cook, clean and drive for me? In my book, that’s called “vacation,” people.

It’s my understanding that these places also offer super-fun, organized mall outings and game mornings (bingo!), 24-hour access to soft-serve ice cream (score!) and, the piece de resistance . . . monthly Matlock marathons! And I can basically do whatever my currently pacemaker-free heart desires.

I can stay in my room all day and read nothing but Nora Roberts. I can eat supper at 4 p.m. and then immediately go to bed. I can even swear repeatedly for no reason at all, just like an NFL player (right, Peyton?). And no one, absolutely no one, will judge me for it because I’m in a retirement home . . . that’s just what old fogies do!

I’ve already spoken with my husband Doo, and he fully supports me, especially if he meets an unfortunate early demise. So, Peyton, hang in there. I’ll see you in 2022, and we’ll grow old together!

Peace out.

Our fridge gets a good once-over every month. We wipe off the shelves and throw out any food item that has a humor green slime. I’ve tossed out a lot of good guacamole based on this criterion.

In the back of the pantry, we found Greenie Hard Chews for dogs. The box said “best used” by August of ’16. But what could go wrong with them? I wondered. Would they turn greener, get harder, become even chewier? I was OK with that, and probably the dog would be, too — if we still had one.

Back in the closet went the Greenies.

There was a bottle of Bookbinder Cocktail Sauce for shrimp. It said: “Use by October 2014.” It looked fine, although I think shrimp sauce is supposed to be bright red, not black with maroon specks. It smelled better than the fresh shrimp that had been in our fridge for only 36 hours. Back it went.

We found some Orville Redenbacher Popcorn, and under Orville’s picture it said “Expires May 2005.” I put the jar back because I think that might have referred to Orville and not the popcorn.

A jar of tartar sauce had no expiration

date at all, but it did say “Famous since 1877.” I’m thinking this may have been a 100th anniversary edition of the product, so I got rid of it.

Finally, we threw away a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing. I think the name tells it all. It had hidden from us for 17 years.

In an effort to economize and be less wasteful, the Wolfsies decided to prepare a dinner out of food that probably should have been discarded: • Popeye Spinach (Best if used by December of ’13) • Artichoke hearts (Enjoy by March ’16) • Tomato soup (Use by April ’14) • StarKist Tuna (Put in toxic landfill after October 2010) We found a bottle of wine in the back of the closet. I immediately poured it down the drain.You can take a chance with a can of asparagus from 2011, but a bottle of Merlot from 2006 was just asking for trouble.

Benner shares Pacers organization’s impact

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com In his past life as a sportswriter and columnist for an Indianapolis newspaper, Bill Benner might have been sports more inclined to offer views on what the departure of Paul George might mean for the Indiana Pacers.

However, in his role as Pacers Sports & Entertainment senior vice president of corporate, community and public relations, Benner focused on the impact the organization has on the Indianapolis area and the state during a July 20 presentation to the Westfield Chamber of Commerce at The Bridgewater Club in Carmel.

For example, in February and March 2016, the building hosted 54 games in 48 days with state boys and girls championships, the Big Ten men’s and women’s tournaments, the Women’s Final Four and Pacers games. There were six concerts in that span as well.

‘This year, Feb. 23 to April 1, we had 38 games in 37 days, along with six concerts and WWE,” Benner said.

This is no break, even in the Pacers’ offseason.

“There is no offseason at Pacers Sports

& Entertainment,” Benner said. “That’s a good thing, keeps us busy and we generate income.”

Benner said the most recent economic impact shows that his organization and Bankers Life Fieldhouse generate $234 million in economic activity, and nearly half of that comes from outside the state.

“The NCAA regional first and second round (in March) basketball games are a good example of how we draw regional and

national audiences,” Benner said.

Benner said the demand for space never stops.

“That’s another reason why we’re about ready to open the St. Vincent Center (Pacers training facility),” Benner said. “People say we already had a practice court. The demand on our space was so great we had to create more public space. With the Pacers moving across the street, that will open our court for more public events. I want to point out St. Vincent Center is being financed by (Pacers owner) Herb Simon all by himself.”

Playing in a public facility, Benner said it’s incumbent on the organization to give back. For instance, the Pacers held a free summer hoops skills tour in July “We have more than 50 community programs,” Benner said. “We host a Thanksgiving dinner that feeds more than 700 people.”

Benner, who helps direct the Pacers Foundation, said the organization awards $500,000 in grants each year, primarily to at-risk youth.

“One thing we’ve been doing is rehabbing outdoor basketball courts around Indianapolis,” he said.

Breastfeeding and the new mom Commentary by Diana Garino, RN World Breastfeeding Week is Aug. 1-7. To celebrate mothers, babies and breastfeeding, Diana Garino, women’s health RN, childbirth and inpatient education coordinator at IU Health North Hospital, offers tips for new and expecting moms.

How can women prepare to breastfeed before giving birth?

One of the best things for expectant parents to do is take a breastfeeding class during pregnancy. In class, parents learn how the breast works, how to recognize baby’s hunger cues, how and when to nurse their baby, along with tips for positioning and latching.

Since newborn babies can’t say “Hey, mom, I’m hungry!” it’s important to watch the baby’s body language to know when to feed. Watch for signs like turning head side to side, sucking, hand movements toward face and smacking lips.

What advice would you give to expectant moms who want to breastfeed?

I recommend trying to breastfeed within the first hour of giving birth, and don’t hesitate to ask for help. A nurse or lacta-

tion specialist can check the baby’s latch and give guidance as needed. When the baby latches, it may be uncomfortable but it should not be painful.

It’s also helpful to keep baby in the hospital room as much as possible so you can nurse on demand. Remember to allow baby to lead when breastfeeding by watching for those hunger cues! Feeding the baby based on hunger cues helps promote a good milk supply.

Finally, wait to introduce pacifiers and bottles until breastfeeding is a wellestablished routine. The motion required to nurse is different than that required to suck on a pacifier or bottle, and you don’t want to cause any confusion.

What advice would you give to moms who aren’t having success right away?

Use your resources! Above all, be patient. Breastfeeding is a learned activity for both baby and mom.

Blood shortage continues editorial@youarecurrent.com Thousands of people have responded to the emergency call for blood and platelet donations issued by the health American Red Cross in early July, but there continues to be a critical summer blood shortage. Eligible donors of all types are urgently needed. As a special thank you, those who come out to give blood or platelets with the Red Cross through Aug. 31 will be emailed a $5 Target eGiftCard After issuing the emergency call, the Red Cross has experienced a 30 percent increase in blood donation appointments through mid-July. About half of the appointments were scheduled by donors using the free Blood Donor App or at redcrossblood. org. Despite this improvement, blood products are still being distributed to hospitals as fast as donations are coming in, so more donations are needed to meet patient needs and replenish the blood supply.

“The blood supply is like a cellphone battery, it constantly needs recharging,” stated Rodney Wilson, communications manager of the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services

Region of the Red Cross. “We sincerely appreciate those who have responded to the call to help save lives and encourage those who haven’t to consider rolling up a sleeve and give the gift of life. It only takes about an hour but can mean a lifetime for patients.”

Nearly 61,000 fewer blood donations than needed were given through the Red Cross in May and June, prompting the emergency call for donations in early July. The shortfall was the equivalent of the Red Cross not receiving any blood donations for more than four days.

The Cat to present lesser-known Cole Porter musical

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Will Wood is a long-time Cole Porter admirer.

That’s why he theater wanted to bring Porter’s “You Never Know” to the stage.

“It’s very lesser-known,” Wood said. “I’ve only talked to two people in the theater circuit who have ever heard of it before. I know two people who have written papers in college on Cole Porter and they had never heard of it. It’s a cute show.”

Wood is the founding artistic director of The Cat Theatre, which moved into the Carmel spot formerly occupied by The Warehouse earlier this year. The Cat also is an acronym for Wood’s Carmel Apprentice Theatre.

“You Never Know” will be performed at The Cat, 254 1st Ave. SW, from Aug. 3 to 13. There will be eight performances of the two-hour musical.

The play, which ran for 78 performances on Broadway in 1938, features two of Porter’s most famous songs, “Let’s Misbehave” and “At Long Last Love.”

“Two completely different songs but beautiful, and people really like

those songs,” Wood said.

The musical returned to off-Broadway in 1973 and ran for just eight performances.

“My motto is, ‘If you’ve never heard of it, I’m probably doing it,’” Wood said. “I love the old stuff.”

The six-person show features a husband and wife in Vince and Perry Accetturo, from Carmel, and sisters Brooke and Brittany Bucher, from Cicero. The other performers are Indianapolis residents Darrin Gowan and Leroy Delph.

“I’ve done these old shows and

I’m always surprised the people that want to come out just out of curiosity,” Wood said. “A lot of directors want to do the famous old shows, which are always good, or the current hit shows, which are usually good.”

Wood joked that maybe he’s afraid of being compared to the big wigs.

“Maybe I want to do something nobody knows and it will be the best version of that show they’ve ever seen,” Wood said with a laugh.

The Lughevent nasadh Celebration will include performances by Kelly & Emily Ann Thompson, a baked goods contest, craft beer tasting, a wreath-making station and contest and open mic for comics, musicians, poets and writers.

Alys Caviness-Gober, secretary for the Logan Street Sanctuary, Inc., encourages bakers and brewers of all levels to bring their creations to compete in the professional and non-professional categories. Makers and artisans are encouraged to contact the Logan Street Sanctuary to participate in the maker’s faire. The event is free to the public.

There is a small entry fee for competitions.

“In the Celtic and Christian calendars, Lugnasadh is celebrated the first week of August,” Caviness-Gober said. “It’s the time to celebrate the first harvest of the year and recognize that the hot summer days will soon come to an end.”

Lughnasadh, meaning the “funeral games of Lugh,” were Celtic festivals that included feasting, songs and contests.

Garland Sunday is an annual day of pilgrimage in Ireland.

This is the first year for the event at Logan Street Sanctuary, but Caviness-Gober said the goal is to host it every year.

Kelly & Emily Ann Thompson will bring their traditional Irish fiddle tunes to the event. The high-energy duo incorporates traditional Irish, Scottish and Canadian fiddle tunes sang in English and Irish Gaelic. Emily Ann fiddles, clogs and sings while her husband joins her on guitar, vocals and percussion. The duo has performed at a variety of Irish festivals.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Larry Adams and his mother, Jean, have been in several productions together. But they will achieve a first in theater “Driving Miss Daisy.â€?

For the first time, art will imitate life as they play mother and son in Carmel Community Players production set Aug. 11 through Aug. 27 at Carmel Community Playhouse, 14299 Clay Terrace, Blvd., Suite 140, Carmel. “He’s been my son-in-law and he’s been a villain,� Jean said.

Larry chimed in, “I’ve tried to kill her in a couple of shows,� he said.

Jean started acting in 1986, and her son started two years later. “I hadn’t done anything until I saw her doing community theater,� Larry said. “It looked like a lot of fun, so I started doing it.�

Jean, an Indianapolis resident, plays Daisy. Larry, who lives near Pittsboro, plays Boolie. “I wouldn’t quite talk to him the way that Daisy talks to Boolie,� Jean said.

Jean said there are few roles for her as she gets older.

“Playwrights like old men, they don’t like old women,� Jean said.

Bradley Lowe, Indianapolis, plays Hoke, Daisy’s middle-aged African-American chauffeur. Daisy is a wealthy Jewish woman in Atlanta. The play starts in 1948 and examines how their relationship evolves over 25 years.

The biggest challenge Lowe, 29, said he faces is honing into portraying an older character.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. For more, visit carmelplayers.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: Kitchen transformation at Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions: The goal was to design a highly functional, stylish kitchen the family could enjoy for many years to come.

1. The biggest obstacle was the load-bearing column placement. By adding a new beam, the kitchen was able to be reconfigured and the island straightened out to provide efficient space.

2. New semi-custom cabinets were designed and installed, with a light, neutral paint on the perimeter and a contrasting navy paint finish for the island. The glass accent cabinets contained curved mullions to mimic the arched doorways.

3. The quartz countertops provide a durable, low-maintenance material option, and the backsplash tiles complement the warm flooring and navy blue island.

4. New decorative glass pendants, under cabinet lighting, and wood flooring provide refined touches of warmth and detail.

Before Background Info: The layout of this kitchen in the Cambridge neighborhood on Geist Reservoir was limited. Cooking was a challenge for the family. The subdued material palette also needed to be freshened up to bring life into this dated kitchen.

After

Before problems: The kitchen included the original outdated wedge-shaped island, oak cabinets and tile flooring with wide grout lines. The two columns on the island seemed to visually close off this open space to the adjacent dining and hearth rooms.
