Council approves renovations Commentary by Noah Alatza • news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield City Council met Aug. 14. The next meeting is 7 p.m. Aug. 28 at City Hall, 130 Penn St. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

What happened: Council unanimously approved Village Park Plaza expansion and upgrades.

What it means: After a favorable recommendation from the Advisory Plan Commission, the city council approved Village Park Plaza renovations, 7-0. Nearly $10 million will be spent by developer Washington Prime Group to remodel and add retail shopping to the Regal Cinema theater at Greyhound Pass and 146th Street. The project includes redesigning 12,000 square feet on the south end of the 57,600-square-foot movie theater. The group will turn the space into four retail or

restaurant venues facing 146th Street. The interior of the theater also will be renovated.

What happened: Osborne Trails Planned Unit Development Amendment was passed, 7-0.

What it means: A favorable recommendation was sent to the council from the APC on Aug. 7. The PUD would allow for a mixed-use development with single-family residential, single-family attached residential and commercial uses at 191st Street from Six Points

Road to Horton Road. The development was formerly known as Drexler Woods. The amendment incorporates land east of Horton Road and more to the north of 191st St. A roundabout north of Grand Park could eventually link 193rd Street and Horton Road.

What happened: Five new items were introduced to the council, four were forwarded to the APC for further review and public hearings set for Sept. 5. The fifth item was a fireworks ordinance unanimously repealed by the council.

What it means: The Bridgewater Planned Unit Development District Amendment – The amendment calls for certain signage standards for the Bridgewater Business Park off Gray Road. If the APC sends a positive recommendation on the PUD, the council could vote as early as its Sept. 25 meeting. Councilor Cindy Spoljaric raised doubt during the introduction.

“The language seemed a bit ambiguous.

What standards will apply to the whole site?” Spoljaric said. She then asked for clarification, saying in part the sign standards “applied to the entire PUD.” Newby PUD – At nearly 18 acres, the PUD is north of 171st Streeet to the west of the City Services Center. Family owned Newby Farms sits on the land. The PUD is currently zoned for Agriculture/Single Family districts. Potential uses include agritourism, an equestrian facility and up to two single-family homes.

The council plans to vote on the PUD at its Oct. 9 meeting, if the APC sends a positive recommendation.

“The intention of what I am trying to do is preserve the farm as much as possible,” owner Kevin Newby said. “We want educational activities for the kids, including things

Commissioners vote to abolish county’s board of voter registration

such as a pumpkin search. We want to teach them more about gardening. The equestrian piece of it kind of goes hand-in-hand. It is about preserving the farm itself.”

Newby said the original PUD is not up to par and does not allow for additional activities.

Chatham Hills Planned Unit Development District Amendment IV – The amendment asks for an additional 15 acres north of Chatham Hills. Developers want to incorporate the land for better access in future phases of the development, according to city planner Pam Howard.

Oak Hollow at Bridgewater (Bridgewater PUD Amendment) – The council heard presentations on a proposal for a new section of Bridgewater. The neighborhood, Oak Hollow at Bridgewater, would be northwest of 151st Street and Carey Road. Half-acre lots dot the entrance and around a natural lake. It would have large lots with buffer trees. A roundabout would connect to the new section of Oak Park on Oak Road, while another entrance would join Carey Road from the west.

Spoljaric raised doubts about how heavily traveled the nearby roads are and if potential rear back yards of the homes will be affected.

Hamilton County Commissioners, at their Aug. 14 meeting, voted unanimously to abolish the Hamilton government County Board of Voter Registration.

The board, made up of one Democrat, Pat Toschlog, and one Republican, Bethany Sheller, is now under the authority and jurisdiction of Hamilton County Clerk Tammy Baitz.

The commissioners’ discussion took place during the regular public meeting on Aug. 14. The public had no notice of the decision, as the discussion and approval were not listed as individual agenda items on the Aug. 14 meeting agenda.

Commissioner Steve Dillinger told Current the decision was made purely for personnel management.

“The inspiration actually came probably four or five years ago, maybe six,” Dillinger told Current. “We had an issue with (a board of voter registration) employee; they weren’t going by the personnel policy.

Those individuals work for the county (party) chairman, not the county, even though we pay them and provide (benefits). They can do whatever they want to do because they work for the party chairman, Republican or Democrat. That made it very unfair to our 800-some other employees.”

In Indiana, county boards of voter registration were created in 2004 after the Indiana Legislature deemed them necessary.

Now, after an amendment to the law, counties have the option to abolish them.

Dillinger said he found out approximately one month ago that the law had changed and that with a unanimous vote, those Board of Voter Registration employees could go back to being managed by the clerk’s office, as they had prior to 2004.

Board members are chosen by recommendation of each county’s party chair. In Hamilton County, on the Democratic side, that’s Joe Weingarten, and on the Republican side, it’s Laura Campbell.

Weingarten and Campbell have said they had no knowledge of the commissioners’ decision until after it had been made.

Derek Dial has been interested in space since he was a kid.

At 36, the Clay Middle education School teacher finally arrived at space camp.

Dial was selected to attend the Honeywell Educators at Space Academy at the United States Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville.

Ala. Dial, a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) teacher at Clay Middle School, made an application in November 2016 and learned he was selected two months later.

“It was like applying for a grant. It was a pretty rigorous set of questions that I had to answer,” said Dial, who moved from Westfield to Fishers in January. “We had to write essays on how we are going to use the experience. They choose 200 teachers out of the world to go, and I was the only one selected from Indiana.”

Dial credited fellow Clay teacher Michelle Nelson, who previously attended the Space Academy, for motivating him to apply.

Dial spent 45 hours in a lab and classroom in the camp in late June.

“It was a heck of an experience, a oncein-a-lifetime shot,” Dial said. “The best part was getting to actually collaborate and work with other teachers from around the world inside simulators and classroom instruction. The main mission of the training is to regain our passion for space and travel and try to engage our students by telling them stories.”

Dial said they can share with their students the different kinds of careers available in the space industry.

Dial had the opportunity to be commander of a mockup shuttle mission and fly the shuttle.

“We got to work with the brand new

Orion simulator,” Dial said.

The teacher used the MAT, the multi-axis trainer, which simulates how the astronauts would feel in a tumble spin during re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.

“It simulated the violent spin in the capsule. We had a lot of fun,” Dial said. “We also got to meet some very inspirational people, like astronaut Mike Foreman, who flew on some shuttle missions.”

In addition, Dial said they met Homer Hickam Jr., the author of “Rocket Boys,” which was later renamed “October Sky.” The teachers learned about land and water survival training and interactive flight dynamics programs.

“NASA has given us quite a bit of materials that we have access to online for our classrooms,” said Dial, who spent 12 years in the U.S. Navy prior to becoming a teacher.

The 14th annual Jake Laird Golf Outing was Aug. 11 at Pebble Brook Golf Course in Noblesville. Laird fundraiser was an Indianapolis Police Dept. officer for four years when he responded to a call on South Dietz Street in Indianapolis on Aug. 18, 2004. Police had received several calls of gunshots at approximately 1:45 a.m. In 16 minutes, four police officers were injured and Laird was killed by an assailant firing an SKS assault rifle in the street. It was later discovered the assailant had first shot and killed his mother before going into the street and terrorizing the neighborhood.

Following the loss of their son, Mike and Debbie Laird made a decision to not become additional victims of the tragedy and created a nonprofit agency dedicated to providing financial support for officers, police and fire, injured in the line of duty who are experiencing financial hardships.

In addition, the nonprofit provides funding for special projects and equipment for police and fire agencies and has donated more than $800,000 throughout Indiana.

Each August, the Lairds hold a golf outing to celebrate Jake’s life and raise money for The Jake Laird Fund.

“This is a way for us to keep Jake’s memory alive and to serve others,” Mike said.

Eighty-two foursomes enjoyed a day of golf, dinner and an auction. There was a moment of silence observed for IMPD Deputy Chief James Waters and Southport Lt. Aaron Allen during the opening ceremonies.

Waitts launch dairy, sell whole milk

Dandy Breeze Dairy recently began producing and bottling milk for sale in the community.

Where to find Dandy Breeze Dairy milk • • • • • • • • • • Samuel Waitt spends time with a cow. (Photos by Sadie Hunter)

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. every day, the Waitt family brings eight of their 90 cows at a time in to the milking barn at Dandy Breeze Dairy in Sheridan.

Although the Waitts have produced cover story their own milk for years, the family recently began selling products last month. Their whole milk is sold at nine local stores.

“My dad’s (Tom Waitt) been dreaming of doing this for 20 years,” said Samuel Waitt, a sixth-grade science teacher at Westfield Intermediate School. “Two years ago, things got into motion and we figured out a plan of what to do. Building the creamery started a year ago.”

The Waitts bottle the milk twice a week, but they plan to work up to three times a week. The family only bottles whole milk in half-gallon sizes.

“There’s a niche market for what we do,” Samuel said.

“Over the past 10 years or so, there’s more of a push where people like to know where their food came from and like to know that it’s been minimally processed. Under the ingredients on our label, it just says ‘milk.’ There’s nothing added, nothing lost. It’s just untouched by human hands.

You probably won’t see us in Kroger or Walmart or anything, but it’ll be more specialty stores like Market District, where there’s a big push for natural food.”

In the future, the Waitts might offer other sizes of whole milk or chocolate milk, but the family plans to focus on

Cows at Dandy Breeze Dairy are milked twice daily. Although there are 90 cows, only 40 are currently being milked.

Eight cows are brought in to the four milking machines.

Milk is stored in a tank and tested prior to being pasteurized. Test results are recorded.

It then travels to a holding tank which cools the milk to 37 degrees.

Through a pasteurizing machine, milk is pasteurized in 15 seconds. During pasteurization, milk is heated to 162 degrees to kill bacteria.

Then, pumps take the milk to a bottling machine. Once bottled, the milk has an expiration date of 16 days.

“You will never see us have eight to 10 products at once,” Samuel said. “We want to do one thing really well. We don’t want to do a lot of things just mediocre.”

Dandy Breeze Dairy milk is bought by Tulip Tree Creamery in Zionsville. Tulip Tree then makes the milk into cheese.

Café Patachou, another Dandy Breeze Dairy customer, makes the milk into gelato. Typically, the milk is priced at $4 a half-gallon. “(The price) is due to the quality,” Samuel said. “It’s pasture-based, and we don’t give any hormones or beef up (the cows’) food or anything. (They eat) grass, hay and silage grain. All the hay is grown on the farm or adjacent farms.”

The Waitts own more than 140 acres of farm land in Sheridan. Tom Waitt met his wife, Sally, at Purdue University. In 1983, the Waitts began producing milk to sell to Prairie Farms. As a result of milk prices being volatile and dairy farmers paying the trucking price, most don’t stay in the business because of the time, regulations and costs.

Tom said he would know in a few years if his local production is worth the time.

“It’s nice,” he said. “It’s a different type of work. Now you have to be able to sell your own product and convince people it’s a better product. It’s worth it, though. It’s what we wanted to do.”

Tom Waitt is a teacher at Westfield Middle School.

o b s e r v a tion Leading the pack

Pass the tequila

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

For decades, television brought us a shared culture. Mostly, we watched the same programs on the same channels at the same time. Each Tuesday morning, we could gather around the water cooler, or even more likely the Mr. Coffee, to exchange a few laughs about the antics of Chrissy and her roommates Jack and Janet – not to mention that silly Mr. Furley. Just as surely, the next day we’d gather again and, this time, the topic would be who shot J.R. Even the commercials lent themselves to our common understanding.

They taught that every group had one kid who was fearless. When mom brought home a cereal that was supposed to be, ugh, good for us, we could always call on Mikey because, as we all knew, “he would try anything.” Then as Mikey clearly loved the new breakfast treat, we would understand that the food is good and that we should be more willing to experience the new and improved. By the time the other slackers were pouring a bowl, Mikey had moved on to his second.

But, is there a downside to being out in front? If we laud those bold enough to seek the first-mover advantage, why don’t more of us seek it? The truth, one could suppose, is that there are a lot of “new” cereals that are terrible, awful concoctions unfit for human consumption. And that for every happy Mikey, there are scores of others working for days to rid themselves of the terrible aftertaste of a cereal experiment gone wrong. And if there are times when we are best served by letting, even encouraging, someone else to lead the pack, how do we discern? Do we forfeit potential advantage in avoiding risk or assume risk to gain potential advantage?

In a few short hours, Doo and I will be depositing our firstborn on the steps of his college dormitory. We’ll wish humor him well, dole out some hugs and kisses, and of course remind him to make good choices and do his best. The question is, will we drive away with tears in our eyes, mourning the end of our son’s childhood, or will we stop at the nearest bar and celebrate with tequila shots? I’m betting on the latter. Why? Historical precedence.

Though we’ve never sent a kid to college, we have experienced four “first days” of kindergarten, four fifth-grade graduations and countless other academic milestones.

And not once, with the exception of a fluke Chick-fil-A drive-thru incident last May, have I boo-hooed. For many Augusts, in fact, I guzzled mimosas with my cul-de-sac peeps to welcome back that beautiful yellow bus and toast our children as they climbed aboard. Going off to school was a magical moment for me when I was a stay-at-home mom, and I thanked Baby Jesus every day that my kids were old enough to leave me for six to eight hours.

I don’t think I will feel very different this afternoon. Our 18-year-old is ready to leave us, and quite frankly, we’re ready for him to go. We love him, but he’s in that weird split-personality place where he’s both an adult and a teenager, at times independent and quite needy at others. It’s time for him to spread his wings and either fly or fall.

Luckily for us, he’s chosen to take his first flight 90 minutes away.

Nope, I don’t predict any tears today.

Peace out.

An introduction to Citizen’s Academy Commentary by Anna Skinner Being the managing editor of this newspaper, I strive to immerse myself in the community I cover. Applying to and being accepted into Westfield Police Dept. Citizen’s Academy was important to me, and readers will follow along with my progress through the class with this weekly column.

I joined 19 others as a participant of the eighth session of the academy, which began Aug. 10. Participants must live or work in Westfield to apply. According to Lt. Mike Seagrave, who coordinates the class, nearly twice that number applied.

Class will meet once a week through October.

Throughout the 11-week course, I will experience firsthand what the police officer job entails. I will learn about the people behind the badge serving Westfield. I will have classes about the patrol division and the criminal investigation division. I will participate in firearms classes, active-shooter classes and even get tased. I will report on what I experience and publish it weekly in Current in Westfield to better educate residents on what duties police officers are respon-

sible for.

According to Seagrave, the class originally launched to better connect the community to the police department and allow citizens to understand the job.

Instructors are not training us to become police officers but rather opening our eyes to some of the duties the job entails. Police officers aren’t just cops, Seagrave said. They’re mothers, fathers, friends, husbands and wives. They’re active in the community they serve, and they are more than their badge number.

VIEWS

Current in Westfield

www.currentinwestfield.com

A true veggietale Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I have just seen the government’s reissued dietary guidelines online. I’m not a fan of the current administration, but I humor thought in this area they were going to cut us some slack - or a least a big piece of chocolate cake.

I can exercise five times a week, cut down on carbs, eat three fruits a day and choke down eight glasses of water (if I get to count Scotch and water). I can eat cod once a week for the omega fat benefits.

But I can’t do 11 vegetables a day. No way.

This new food pyramid, which would make pharaohs roll over in their graves, now suggests that we need almost a dozen servings of the green, yellow and orange stuff every day.

If God can make a waterfall, why can’t broccoli taste like mint chip ice cream?

When you’ve got the gift of miracles, flaunt it. If all these things are so good for you, why weren’t they made better tasting?

Wouldn’t you just love to hear your kid say at McDonald’s, “I’d like a Big Mac and a large order of beets, please”?

My wife is a health nut. She suggested that instead of seeing vegetables as tiny

pieces of tasteless greenery, I should find some creative way of eating them. Here’s my plan for getting in your 11 veggies a day.

BREAKFAST • Two Bloody Marys (with V-8 Juice and celery sticks) • Corn chips and guacamole Total veggies: 4 LUNCH • One Bloomin’ Onion (steakhouse-style) • Two pieces of zucchini bread with vegetable hummus • One cup of salsa • Deep-fried cauliflower Total veggies: 4 DINNER • Three pieces of cream cheese carrot cake • Corn fritters with ketchup • One martini with two olives Total veggies: 7 That’s 15 servings of vegetables! I can’t wait to start this new diet tomorrow.

Mosquitoes in at least four Hamilton County parks have officials spraying the affected areas. Spraying environment began Aug. 8. Hamilton County Health officials took positive West Nile Virus mosquito samples from Asa Bales on Aug. 7, Quaker and Billericay parks on Aug. 8 and Cumberland Park on Aug. 9. Another positive reading was found near 116th Street and Hoosier Road in Fishers.

Despite the tests being taken inside of city-operated parks, Hamilton County oversees the testing and spraying of the mosquitoes.

“We always remind residents to drain standing water,” Westfield city spokesperson Erin Murphy said. “And always apply proper bug spray and wear long sleeves.”

Hamilton County’s Government website outlines its ‘Mosquito Control’ program as “routinely collecting and testing for West Nile Virus (WNV) in Hamilton County.”

When mosquitoes test positive for the West Nile Virus, a truck mounted sprayer covers the positive area in a 1-mile radius.

The last recorded mosquitoes detected in the area positive for West Nile Virus were at Asa Bales 171ST ST Park Aug. 6, 2015, Cool Creek Park July 31, 2015 and U.S. 31 and 181st Street July 31, 2015.

Dispatches F.C. Tucker real estate update — Halfway through the year, monthly real estate stats from F.C. Tucker Company indicated that the housing market is still not slowing down.

Of the 3,428 homes sold in central Indiana in June 2017, 18.3 percent were in Hamilton County. The average price per square foot in Westfield last month was $124.51, 4.5 percent higher than June 2016. In Westfield, the average home price was $300,227, down 2.1 percent from June 2016. Homes in Westfield sold in an average of 43 days, eight days faster than June 2016. Of the pended home sales last month in Westfield, the majority sold were in the $300,000 to $499,999 price range. Many buyers are now looking to purchase a home they can easily maintain. Sales associates from F.C. Tucker’s Westfield office say they’re seeing a new trend develop among all buyer segments to obtain lower maintenance properties. This is a lifestyle choice which is gaining popularity among all age groups, whereas it’s typically been associated with the older generations.

New director of development hired — Legacy Fund, the Central Indiana Community Foundation affiliate serving Hamilton County, announced Brittany Rayburn as its director of development.

Free seminars for seniors — CarDon & Associates is partnering with Indy Mature Living to help educate Indianapolis-area seniors about issues related to home ownership and post-retirement downsizing.

Dance contest to benefit Meals on Wheels

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County is hoping some smooth dance moves will translate into some giving back needed funds.

The nonprofit’s Dancing With Our Stars will be held 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 7 at the 502 East Event Centre, Carmel. St. Vincent and Medxcel are the presenting sponsors for the group’s largest fundraiser. Beth Gehlhausen, the nonprofit’s executive director, said the goal this year is to raise $65,000, well above last year’s total of $25,000.

“That’s a huge leap, but we had some things happen that impacted participants being able to attend due to two of our dancers not being able to continue on due to some health issues,” Gehlhausen said.

During the past year, Gehlhausen said Meals on Wheels served approximately 166 people a month, which equals to more than 4,400 meals that go through Hamilton County.

The fundraiser will benefit the Sponsor a Senior program, which helps seniors that need financial assistance to pay for the meals.

“That program saw a tremendous growth

between 2015 and 2016 to the tune of about 112 percent,” Gehlhausen said.

Gehlhausen said the nonprofit budgeted $34,000 to pay for those meals, which actually cost nearly $71,000.

“Last year, for example, a little over 50 percent of the people we served fully paid for their meals,” Gehlhausen said. “The other 50 percent were on our Sponsor a Senior program or had funding through CICOA (Central Indiana Council on Aging). Our concern is we are going to see more people that have need. We’re concerned that if this growth continues we might not be able to serve everyone all at once, and we might

Wright pays homage to circus era

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Tim Wright felt a sense of sadness when he learned the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus would end its 146music year run in May. “It’s a piece of Americana and our past that is gone now,” Wright said.

Wright, 65, was working with John Stevens Jr. earlier in the year when he shared his thoughts.

“I told him I’d been thinking about this idea for a song to honor the passing of that era,” said Wright, a Carmel resident and a member of The Wright Brothers.

That led to the two combining talents to write “Since the Circus Left Town,” which was released as a music video in July as a farewell tribute to The Greatest Show on Earth. Stevens, from Crawfordsville, sings while Wright sings harmonies and plays the Dobro, harmonica and mandolin.

“I don’t think the circus was as thrilling to younger people because of everything that is accessible on the internet,” Wright said. “You go to a movie nowadays, there is so much special effects, so seeing a lion jump through a hoop doesn’t do much for

have to go to a waiting list. Our board is adamant about not wanting to do that. We have to raise more money to keep with that level of growth. We want them to be able to continue to live in their homes and get hot meals Monday through Friday. Obviously, the cost of staying in your own home is much cheaper than going into a facility.”

Meals on Wheels delivers Monday through Friday.

A donation of $35 pays for someone to get two meals a day (Monday through Friday) and $145 for two meals per day for a month.

them.”

When Wright started writing lyrics, it was more history-oriented.

“John took it and made it more personal,” Wright said. “Mine was more like a third person, and John’s take was first person.

We got together again and hammered the lyrics. John wrote all the music.”

The music was recorded at Keith Claghorn’s KC Pro Studio. The Children’s Museum and the old Crawfordsville High School gym were two locations used for filming.

The song can be found on YouTube and on Facebook. It had gotten more than 23,000 Facebook views in the first six days.

“We just wanted to say something. We didn’t really expect the response we got, so we’re thrilled,” Stevens said.

Palace of Cibeles and Cibeles Fountain in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The heart of Madrid

Commentary by Don Knebel

Madrid is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with broad tree-lined boulevards and a number of vibrant travel plazas. One of those plazas can legitimately be called the physical and emotional heart of the city.

The Plaza de Cibeles, at the intersection of two important streets, derives its name from the Cibeles Fountain, a magnificent marble fountain depicting Cybele, the protector of the city, riding a chariot pulled by two lions. Cybele, sometimes called the Great Mother, is an ancient Anatolian goddess of fertility and nature. According to Greek mythology, Cybele turned Atalanta and Hippomenes into lions after she caught them having sex in one of her temples, demonstrating her power over nature. The Cibeles Fountain, designed by Spanish artist Ventura Rodriguez in 1777, was placed in front of the Prado Museum in 1782, where it provided water for Madrid residents and their horses. In 1895, the fountain was moved to the center of what was then known as the Plaza de Madrid. The plaza

quickly assumed the name of the fountain, which had become the symbol of the city.

The Plaza of Cibeles is surrounded by four distinctive buildings, each of which anchors a different Madrid neighborhood.

The design of the most beautiful of the four buildings, combining gothic and classical elements suggesting a medieval cathedral, belies its prosaic original purpose as the headquarters of the Madrid Postal Service.

Called the Palace of Communications when it opened in 1919, the building became Madrid’s city hall in 2011 and is now known as the Palace of Cibeles.

After significant victories by Real Madrid, Madrid’s professional football (soccer) team, the team and its fans congregate in the Plaza de Cibeles and plant the team flag atop the figure of Cybele. Nothing more eloquently confirms that the plaza is the heart of Madrid.
