By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb and Indiana Dept. of Transportation Commissioner Brandye Hendrickson visited Hamilton infrastructure County Aug. 22 to announce the awarding of millions of dollars in matching funds to area communities.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and Westfield Mayor Andy Cook joined the state officials for a press conference marking the announcement outside the Indiana Design Center Aug. 22 in Carmel. Hamilton County, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield will receive nearly $4.5 million combined thanks to the state’s Community Crossing matching grant program.

“This is a celebratory week for INDOT and the communities around Indiana that are receiving these matching funds,” Hendrickson said. “Over the past few months, INDOT has worked feverishly to get this program up and running and out to the local communities and have made it just as easy as possible to get projects started and under way.”

The state received almost 1,600 applications from 320 communities for this round of funding, and 102 central Indiana cities, towns and counties will receive a combined $47 million to go toward improving local roads and bridges.

“That represents a huge commitment to modernizing local roads and bridges, but beyond that it shows that communities are committed to building the types of neighborhoods where people want to start businesses, grow their businesses and raise their families,” Holcomb said.

“Few if any states have made the commitment in the last decade in terms of infrastructure than Indiana. This year alone, 2016, Indiana is investing close to $850 million on more than 770 road and infrastructure projects across the whole state. This will include new pavement, many new miles of travel lanes, rehabilitated and replaced bridges, environmental improvement projects and still so much more.”

Carmel, Fishers, Westfield and Hamilton County, as well as Lawrence, Zionsville and Boone County, will each receive $1 million in matching funds from INDOT while Noblesville will receive $497,550.

“Our potential residents, potential investors business-wise in this state and our cities and towns, they look for a good infrastructure. I’m thrilled the state is recognizing that and is willing to put money in it,” Cook said. “Locally, our citizens simply ask, ‘Hey, get the snow off and make it smooth.’ This is going to go a long way toward accomplishing just that. To all those involved, thank you for putting the emphasis on the very important asset of roadway infrastructure.”

Street Survival set at Grand Park

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com.

On Oct. 2, drivers ages 16 to 21 will have the chance to purposefully skid their cars around a track and lose control, just safety to learn in a controlled environment how to correct the car to avoid an accident. “(Street Survival) is the philanthropic wing of the BMW Car Club. The concept behind it is to teach drivers 16- to 21-years-old how to control their car,” Lions Club President Larry Clarino, who also serves as a Street Survival instructor, said. “It’s what drivers’ education should be but doesn’t approach. We teach emergency maneuvers, skid control, accident avoidance. We don’t talk about street signs or rules of the roads. We are teaching kids how to drive their car.”

From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., students will split time between a classroom and course time on the Grand Park parking lot. An instructor will always be in the car. The student uses his or her own car throughout the program.

“What triggered this one here in Westfield was one of the Lions’ grandsons got killed in April because of inexperience. He lost control in the rain and hit a tree. No drugs, no booze, not even a sign of speeding, he just lost it,”

The Street Survival at Grand Park will be Larry Clarino’s 30th time instructing students in accident avoidance and car control. (Submitted photo)

Clarino said. “I’ve been involved in Street Survival for 10 years.”

Clarino even taught retired IndyCar driver Scott Goodyear’s children in Street Survival.

The Westfield event will be his 30th Street Survival as an instructor.

“Every single kid that takes the program within the first year will use something they learned that day to either avoid or mitigate an accident,” he said. “Your muscle-memory will remember what we teach you that day.”

The event costs $75 and lunch will be provided. To register, visit streetsurvival.org.

Council approves Big Hoffa’s PUD

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com.

The Westfield City Council met at 7 p.m. Aug. 23 at city hall, 130 Penn St. The council approved the Big Hoffa’s development Planned Unit Development at the northeast corner of East Street and Ind. 32, to rezone a 2.66-acre parcel to allow for the construction of the restaurant and future developments and a possible roundabout.

The council unanimously approved the ordinance, but councilors Cindy Spoljaric, Joe Edwards and Steve Hoover had comments that were addressed before the approval.

Spoljaric suggested sign changes, such as no sign pedestrian scale size and with 18- to 24-inch letters. She suggested that the dumpster enclosures not appear on single-family parcels, and light poles limited to 15 feet in height. She asked to prohibit the use of taverns, nightclubs and high-intensity retail on the PUD and that there be bicycle parking to accommodate four bikes.

Birch Dalton of Edge Rock Development was present to speak on behalf of owner Adam Hoffman. He addressed all of Spoljaric’s suggestions and said they were all possible to follow.

The Westfield City Council approved a planned unit development which would allow for the relocation of Big Hoffa’s. (Submitted image)

Edwards was concerned about the proposed roundabout with the traffic along Ind. 32 and East Street, and Hoover brought up the issue of landscaping along the east fence which borders a single-family home.

“This whole process is more than a dream for a guy like me, I have dreamed about this moment,” Hoffman said. “The whole process has been tough because over the years we have outgrown our space at the restaurant, and now it’s really time to step it up and build a place we can honor all of our catering orders.”

Construction is planned to begin next month, and Hoffman said he hopes the restaurant will be finished by next spring.

Westfield celebrates state’s 200th birthday with historical tours

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Municipalities across the state have hosted celebrations themed for Indiana’s bicentennial, and next month, Westfield residents will get a chance to celebrate in their own way. cover story Although Voices from the Past has been a staple in the city for six years, this year the Westfield Parks and Recreation Dept. will organize the event a little differently.

“This year’s theme is (Westfield’s) Founding Fathers, so everybody who was here to pretty much lay the beginning of Westfield,” Westfield Parks and Recreation Dept. Community Event Manager Kelley Wells said.

Tour guides will begin at the east entrance of Asa Bales Park and lead groups on a walking expedition to the anti-slavery cemetery, where the groups will watch three 10-minute vignettes highlighting founding fathers Asa Bales, Simon Moon, Ambrose Osborn and Nathan Parker. The tour guide will then lead groups through Wells downtown Westfield and point out certain buildings and houses that held trap doors for slaves as part of the Underground Railroad. The last part of the tour will take groups to Old Friends Cemetery for three more vignettes before finishing back at Asa Bales Park.

“So with this being the bicentennial year we really wanted to focus on Westfield’s beginnings, and this event gives people the opportunity to appreciate our city’s humble beginnings,” Wells said. “(In) previous years (Voices from the Past) was a mix of all different decades and generations, and we had heard from a couple of people it was confusing to jump from one period to the next. This year we wanted to focus on one time period so the attendees could follow along and it’s not jumping around.”

Westfield was founded in 1834. The date serves as the beginning of the tour. The vignettes and tour guides will take groups from 1834 to 1872.

The tour guides are mainly from Westfield, and the actors are supplied by Westfield Playhouse. It is a 100 percent volunteer operation.

Communications Specialist Zach Burton served as a tour guide in 2014 because of his passion for history.

“I had just moved to Westfield that year and Burton thought it would be a good way to learn about the local history here in town and a good way to get to know people,” he said. “You just learn about all the buildings and what their history was.”

“It’s a lot of volunteer work for these people, but it’s a testament to how much they appreciate the arts and continuing to show the citizens the history of Westfield,” Wells said.

Tours will take place every 15 minutes from 6 to 6:30 p.m. Sept. 9 and 1 to 5 p.m. Sept. 10. Tours begin at the east entrance of Asa Bales Park, 211 N. Union St. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students ages 13 to 18. Kids 12 and under are free. For more, visit enjoywestfieldevents.com.

A map of the route for the 2016 Voices from the Past tour.

In addition to providing multiple tours through Asa Bales Park and other historical locations in Westfield, Voices from the Past also will provide second grade tours for four of the elementary schools during the day Sept. 9.

The second grade tours have been conducted the past few years of Voices from the Past, and Community Event Manager for Kelley Wells said they are something the kids remember for years to come.

“The schools do kind of an abbreviated version of the public tour. As soon as I reach out to them, a lot of the schools jump on board and say they tie this into part of the curriculum,” Wells said. “The kids really enjoy it, and they always interact with the actors. We had a boy last year so excited about the school tour that he went home to tell his parents, and they ended up coming that same day. It’s cool to see this has an impact on these children.”

Appreciate the morning workout

The similar candidates

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Our quadrennial presidential sweepstakes regularly provides textbook studies in contrast. And 2016 raises the bar in disparity.

Red and blue. Left and right. Hot and cold. Up and down. Good and bad. Boy and girl. Pro and con. Loud and soft. Rain or shine. Fish and fowl. Dumb and dumber. Perhaps the only fact that supporters of both major party candidates can agree is that differences between the two do exist. Donald Trump is a Gemini and Hillary Clinton a Scorpio. He’s 70 years old while she doesn’t turn 69 until October. And that relative youth obviously goes a long way in explaining why millennials overwhelmingly favor her. One is a Democrat and the other a demagogue. But this is America, damn it, where yeah, sure, we acknowledge our differences. But this is a nation that also embraces that which binds us together, and the number of bizarre similarities the Donald and the Hillary share is uncanny. Well, they’re not quite mirror images, but considering one is a 5-foot-6 career politician and one is a 6-foot-2 reality TV star, there are enough peas-in-a-pod resemblances to call out the doppelganger police. For instance: righthanders with bulletproof hair; total disdain for truth; unfavorable ratings higher than guard geese downwind of a marijuana field on fire; butchers of the English language; and the list goes on. But finally, each candidate is adamant that if the other is elected on Nov. 8 it will be a disaster not just for the nation, but the hemisphere, the planet, the solar system and the universe. And the two have united millions who believe that on this issue they both may be correct.

Goldfish in a bowl Commentary by Terry Anker In what is perhaps the ideal example of thoughtful resource management, goldfish are known to only grow as much as the appropriately supported capacity of their container. If kept in a cereal bowl on the kitchen counter, the tiny fish will remain just that – a tiny fish. If they find their way into a much larger backyard pond, they might flourish into significantly larger creatures. Do we each find our own level of productivity and stick to it? If not, should we?

Anticipating the coming long winter, these waning weeks of summer have long been an impetus for humans to attend to various maintenance projects around home and hearth. The bit of chipping paint on the kitchen window frame, the broken downspout and the cracked footpath, all, in their own time, get attention, repair and restoration. Even with our own labor, we supplement our lack of experience, necessary tools, interest and motivation by outsourcing work to the skilled trades to finish

our projects.

The sidewalk requires overhaul. The dutiful homeowner requests bids from a shortlist of would-be contractors. Some show up on time to inspect the job. Others arrive late. Others don’t bother at all. Some will provide a quote as promised and with due haste. Others must be prodded into action.

Still others disappear without remark. What is the formula to find a match from beginning to end? Why is it that almost all of us claim a desire to “get” the work, but so many, when actually offered a job, withdraw from attempting the task?

Perhaps, too, I am overly eager to review every opportunity, thinking little of my own physical and intellectual constraints in actually doing it. How does the goldfish decide he is big enough for his bowl?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K “Silence is now a precious commodity, a scarce resource hard to come by.”

-Brian Zahnd

I love working out in the morning! Getting up early, heading out into the cool, crisp blackness. Entering a humor zen-like stage of meditation where all I hear are shoes slapping the pavement, rhythmic breathing and the quiet seduction of birdsong. Predawn running is what I live for!

Is anybody buying this load of horse manure? Let’s be real: I absolutely despise getting up early to exercise. Who could possibly enjoy such torture when a relatively new king-size mattress and 600-count Egyptian sheets are begging her to stay?

I’m not Forrest Gump! But the alternative is worse, and so I find myself frequently having to endure that 5 a.m. alarm.

And over the years, I have at least learned to appreciate the morning workout.

I’m able to contemplate life, my family and this column without the pushes and pulls of carpool duty, work, the husband and that sexy temptress known as Netflix. It’s just me and my thoughts for 30 to 60-odd minutes, making it the perfect time to ponder my ripped pants debacle at the previous night’s Meet the Teacher and to establish time of death of said pants (anywhere from 2 to 6 p.m.); to consider how unlucky a black cat’s day will be after I cross his path; and to rehash episode five of my new obsession, “Stranger Things” (Nancy, for God’s sake! Why would you go in there?).

Plus, it’s dark, which means I can literally let it all hang out. Shirt twisted and tucked into a skimpy Daisy Duke, hair pinned into a messy top knot, no make-up, stretch marks a-showing . . . I am living the freedom-tobe-middle-age dream. No sun also means no SPF, no visor and no possibility of heat stroke. And if my bratty little cousin Incontinence makes an appearance, who cares?

There is literally no one alive at that godforsaken hour to notice.

Most importantly, the morning workout gets it over and done with, so that I can spend my free time stocking up on excellent nightmare fodder with “Stranger Things.” (Seriously, Nancy! How dumb are you?) Peace out.

Card carrying card carrier Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I have always wanted to collect something no one else in the world collects.

Over the years at Channel 8, humor I interviewed people with odd collections: a man with thousands of different sugar packets, a man with hundreds of mousetraps and one person with a garage full of water sprinklers. Another had 2,500 monkey wrenches. I even did a report on a woman who collects stamps. How weird is that hobby?

It’s kind of dumb if you’re the only person collecting something. There’s no one to brag to and no one to sell it to when you realize how you have been wasting the last 20 years of your life.

At the car wash yesterday, I noticed a great assortment of greeting cards, far funnier than the average Hallmark selection. People need a good laugh when both they and their cars are getting soaked for 20 bucks.

Many of the cards depicted political figures, replete with caricatures and satirical remarks.

They wish you Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, and Get Well Soon, and there is even a Happy Bar Mitzvah card from “Uncle Bernie,” including a slot for a huge check.

When I got home, I went online to find out how far back the idea of funny political greeting cards went. I wanted to research a little of their history, but I found nothing.

Certainly a political cartoonist would know, so I called one. “Drawing a blank, Dick. And that’s not something most cartoonists will admit to.”

I called a political science professor at IU. “Sorry, I never thought about it, Mr. Wolfsie.

Actually, I believe I can safely say no one has ever thought about it.”

Had I found something that no one else collected? How cool is that?

I now have 25 different politically themed greeting cards, including seven featuring Donald Trump. So now I’m thinking of starting a club, and maybe creating a website or publishing a monthly newsletter about political cards.

And why not? It’s great. I have to be honest with you: I may have the largest collection in the world. Believe me.

Top essential oils to use

Commentary by Betsy Rabold

Essential oils do more than just smell nice.

They have been used in one way or another since ancient times as medinatural cine and for cleaning. Here are the top five choices for essential oils to have in your home. • Lemon: Derived from the peel of the lemon, its fresh, clean scent helps to activate the body, gets rid of sluggishness and can stimulate the nervous system. Therapeutic uses include detoxification and purification, can help with brown spots, oily skin, sore throat and digestion. • Peppermint: Distilled from the leaves of one of the hardiest plants, it is used mostly in flavorings and muscle rubs. It has cooling properties and can help eliminate negative thoughts. • Lavender: Wild lavender is considered to be the most healing of all but is most rare.

True lavender can be helpful for sleep, nervousness, digestion, pain and skin issues.

Its hybrid cousin, lavandin, has a higher portion of camphor. It’s very useful as a muscle rub or for congested airways. • Melaleuca (tea tree): A wonderful an-

It also can help to boost the immune system. • Roman chamomile: Very versatile, chamomile can be used to treat skin issues, various aches and pains, helps to calm and relax, and helps enhance proper digestion and sleep.

Food safety begins at home Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Once again it is important to make a few points about food safety. We don’t want our tailgaters to become part of the group of nearly three milliom estimated by the Mayo Clinic who fall prey to food poisoning. Some can make you sick for a long time, and others can even kill. Every year we post some simple rules that can be easily found online by typing “food poisoning” into a search engine. Here are some simplified rules we follow: • Prepare foods at home – Your kitchen tends to be a lot more sanitary than your tailgate party. Prepare as much as possible at home so that preparation at your tailgate is only grilling/cooking.

• Keep things clean – Wash hands, surfaces and utensils frequently and have hand sanitizer for all to use.

• Separate, don’t contaminate – Don’t mix uncooked foods during preparation.

Meats have contaminates that can be cooked away, but not vegetables that have come in contact with the surface used to cut meat.

• Cook all foods to the proper temperature – To kill bacteria. Meat temperature charts are available online or on our web site at http://tailgatershandbook.com/ Tailgating101/foodsafety.html.

• Keep cold foods (especially meats) cold – This means you need a separate cooler for foods and a separate one for drinks.

Here’s a great recipe for a pasta salad that all your guests will love. It is a safer recipe because you keep the food in a serving container at the bottom of your food cooler until you serve it.

This chip dip pasta salad can be kept safe and chilled at the bottom of your cooler until you are ready to serve it. (Submitted photo)

Pasta Salad Ingredients: One package of ranch party dip (chip dip, not salad dressing), One cup of sour cream, One cup of milk, One pound of your favorite spiral pasta, Three cups assorted veggies (we like green peppers, radishes, onions, celery, red peppers, etc.), One cup of large, pitted olives, 1/4 cup crisp chopped bacon pieces Preparation: Prepare the party dip per directions with a wire whisk. Let the mixture thicken in the refrigerator.

Cook the pasta, al dente and then drain it in a colander. Using a large plastic re-sealable container, add the pasta and chopped veggies and bacon. Chill the mixture in the sealed container in the fridge. On game day, mix in the party dip and put the container into the bottom of your cooler/ice chest.

One of those days?

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement of entertainment Commentary by Larry Greene

After

After solutions: The goal was to give this family a functional, lively space to play, relax, and entertain.

1. The addition of a fully functional bar with standard kitchen appliances and both drink and food prep areas made this an entertainment hub for the adults. Bar stool seating makes it easy for friends to gather in one place.

2. Barn doors were used to separate the play area from the rest of the basement. This allowed for option of dedicated spaces for adults and children, or one open space for everyone to enjoy.

3. A fireplace was added in the main lounge area of the basement. This gave the basement a calming atmosphere to relax after a long day.

4. There are two areas of this basement dedicated to media entertainment. One is at the bar and the other is in the lounge area by the fireplace.

This gives these homeowners the option of watching a football game at the bar with friends, or a movie as a family on the couch.

Before Background info: The owners of this home in Zionsville’s The Willows neighborhood were looking to remodel their basic builder-grade basement. “Basic” did not fit the life of this family , so our main goal was to give this basement some personality.

Before problems: The No. 1 issue with this basement was underutilized space. There was nothing technically wrong with the basement but the family wasn’t using it, and wasted space is a problem.

They also needed separate spaces for both the parents and children, zoning off the basement for specific functions.

Divorce – Back To School: Controlled Expenses vs. Extraordinary Expenses In Indiana in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution, or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties, (typically the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are based on the assumption the child(ren) lived in one (1) household with primary physical custody to the parent who undertakes all of the spending on behalf of the child(ren); therefore, that parent controls the children’s expenses.

the parent that does not get the parenting time credit (i.e., the “custodial parent”). If parents decide to share physical custody, one parent will be responsible to pay the controlled expenses.

What are controlled Expenses? Controlled expenses for the child(ren) are not those commonly transferred or duplicated between households.

Typically, controlled expenses are items like clothing, educational (e.g., school uniforms, books and supplies), ordinary uninsured healthcare expenses, and personal care. While there is no exhaustive list, just remember that the controlled expenses are those fixed expenses of the parent who has primary physical custody and are included in the Guideline child support schedules.

Who pays these costs? In any matter where child support is exchanged between parents, the support recipient is responsible for the child(ren)’s “controlled expenses.” For example, the custodial parent buys the backpack for the child(ren) and, as such, the noncustodial parent will not buy a separate one. Thereby, the custodial parent controls this type of expense. According to the Guidelines, the controlled expenses account for 15% of the cost of raising the child(ren). The other expenses are based on the amount of time each parent shares with the child(ren). As such, the more time both parents spend with the child(ren), the more expenses are duplicated or “shared” under the support calculation through the parenting time credit. Since controlled expenses are not shared, they will remain with

How are Extraordinary Expenses divided? When both parents agree that the child(ren) should participate in an optional activity, generally parents either split the expenses equally or pay their pro-rata share based on the income percentage calculated using the child support worksheet. If the parents are unable to reach an agreement on how to divide these expenses, the Court will generally assign responsibility for such costs by considering the following factors: the parent’s ability to pay, which parent is encouraging the activity, whether the child(ren) has/have historically participated in the activity, and the reasons a parent encourages or opposes participation in the activity.

In reality, it is not uncommon for disagreements to occur regarding controlled expenses and extraordinary expenses. If you find yourself in such a situation, you would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel to help find resolution to the issue at hand.

What are Extraordinary Expenses? When calculating child support, the Guidelines do not include components to address the child(ren)’s activities that would be considered “optional” in nature or activities not required by the child(ren)’s school. These expenses are generally related to summer camps, athletics, sports leagues, scouting, band, choir, additional tutoring, and similar expenses.

If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Remains of Ephesus library. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The library of Ephesus Commentary by Don Knebel Ephesus, a port on the Ionian coast, was one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire. Its beautiful library now anchors one of Turkey’s most popular travel destinations.

In the second century, Ephesus was the capital of the Roman province of Asia. In about 115 A.D., Gaius Julius Aquila, a Roman consul, began building a library in Ephesus in honor of his father, Celsus Polemeanus, the governor of the province.The building was funded by the personal fortune of either Celsus or his son. When completed, the library rivaled the more famous libraries in Alexandria and Pergamum.

The elaborate façade of the Ephesus library recalled the area behind the stage of Greek theatres, respecting Celsus’ Greek background.

Four pairs of Corinthian columns flanked three doors.

Windows above the doors faced the morning sun, encouraging library users to rise early. The columns on the façade’s corners were shorter than those in the center, reportedly to create the illusion of a larger building. Niches between the columns held female statues representing wisdom, virtue, insight and knowledge, qualities associated with Celsus.

Up to 12,000 scrolls were stored in niches along the interior walls, with double walls protecting the scrolls from the elements. The body of Celsus was interred in a marble sarcophagus beneath the main floor.

The interior of the library and its collection of scrolls were destroyed in 262, either during an attack by Goths or by an earthquake. In the fourth century, the building, its original façade repaired, was repurposed as a nymphaeum.

The façade was later destroyed, and the building lay in ruins until the 1970s, when the façade and portions of the interior were reconstructed from the rubble. During excavations, the tomb of Celsus was rediscovered, where his body had lain undisturbed for 18 centuries and where it still remains.
