Fresh faces grace Westfield stage

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield Playhouse’s new show, Agnes of God, features a cast that will be new to audience members. All three actresses and director theater Brent Wooldridge are making their debut at the Westfield theater.

“I have enjoyed working up here in Westfield,” Wooldridge said. “This show has been on my bucket list for at least 10 years. It’s the oldest one on my bucket list. I saw a snippet of it at a festival. It was so intense I loved it.”

Summoned to a convent, court-appointed psychiatrist Martha Livingston is charged with assessing the sanity of a novice accused of murdering her newborn. Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, determinedly keeps young Agnes from the doctor, arousing Livingston’s suspicions further. Who killed the infant, and who fathered the tiny victim? Livingston’s questions force all three women to re-examine the meaning of faith and the power of love leading to a dramatic, compelling climax.

Phyllis Reynolds, who portrays Livingston, originally auditioned for Miriam Ruth and was surprised to hear she was being considered for the role of Livingston.

“I thought that would be so awesome because there’s no way I was going to turn it down,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds said the hardest part of her character is

that she is onstage the entire show.

“I can never leave the stage,” she said. “Your concentration has to be on it.”

Zionsville resident Lina Ricks auditioned for the play because she was familiar with it.

“I really wanted to do it. I like thought plays,” the actress portraying Mother Superior said, adding she enjoys the interaction between the three characters.

“We represent three different ways of viewing the world. By the time you reach the end – the arch – all three characters are in three different places in their lives.”

Addison D. Ahrendts, who plays Agnes, said the most difficult part is not going crazy when she leaves the stage.

“The play draws the audience in and draws us in,” she said.

Ahrendts of New Palestine said she almost didn’t audition for the role because Agnes sings.

“I’m always backstage singing. It’s not my least favorite part, but I hate it,” she said.

Carich wins senior state tourney news@youarecurrent.com

After two nearly error-free rounds of golf, Dave Carich of Noblesville qualified for the Senior PGA Professional National achievement Championship for his third eligible year in a row.

Carich, 52, fired an opening round of 5-underpar 67 at the Players Club, 6610 W. River Rd., Yorktown, giving himself a two shot lead heading into day two of the Indiana PGA Senior Championship. He paired that with a steady round of 1-under-par on Aug. 23 for a two day total of 138, 6-under-par and a two shot victory.

“I kept the ball in play all day and only missed two greens,” Carich stated. “I didn’t putt as well

as I had hoped, but I didn’t three putt either.”

Two weeks ago Carich qualified for the PGA Professional National Championship, and earlier this summer he participated in the US Senior Open.

“I finished runner-up in the Indiana PGA Professionals Championship and runner-up in the US Senior Open Qualifier earlier this summer so it feels nice to finally win one,” he stated. “It’s a goal of mine every year to qualify for the Professional and Senior National Championships and it feels great that I will have the chance to participate in both. I’m looking forward to going to Virginia. It will be a nice fall trip.”

On Aug. 20, almost 70 members of the Westfield Rotary Club heard a truly moving and inspirational presentation by opinion retired US Marine and Iraq War veteran, Josh Bleill. Bleill joined the Marines in 2003 at the age of 27 as a result of his strong conviction to serve his country by protecting it from terrorist activity like that which occurred on 9/11. He met the challenges of boot camp, competing with young men eight to 10 years his junior, but his determination pulled him through. After boot camp, he joined the National Guard, and was called up for active duty in Iraq in 2006.

On Oct. 15, 2006, while on combat patrol in Fallujah, Iraq, an IED struck his Humvee, tearing through the vehicle and killing two of his fellow Marines. Two of his fellow Marines dragged him to safety and bound his wounds, which he credits with saving his life. Bleill awoke five days later in an Army hospital in Germany to learn of the catastrophic loss of his two friends and both of his legs. His physical recovery was a great challenge, but not nearly as much as his mental recovery. Bleill never left his hospital room for three months. Having been a football player and an athlete all his life, he did not want anyone to see him in as an amputee in a wheelchair.

Bleill credits his miraculous psychological recovery to a supportive family, prayers and support from veterans organizations, whose members visited him in the hospital continually giving him support and encouragement. He was fitted with prosthetic legs and learned to walk again, only to be set back by an infection that had set into his legs, necessitating additional amputation. After more physical recovery, he was again fitted with prosthetic legs and had to learn to walk for the third time in his life.

His life took a turn for the better when he was visited by the Colts players and Jim Irsay following their Super Bowl victory while on a visit to the White House. Irsay told the Greenfield native that he would give him a job when he was well enough to return to work. After two long years of recovery, the Colts organization held true to its word and hired Bleill to become its

Josh Bleill community spokesperson. He shares his amazing inspirational story of facing and overcoming extreme challenges and adversity, and moving forward with life, during speaking engagements all around the country. Readers also will truly be inspired by reading his book, “One Step at a Time.”

Bruce Watson is a member of the Rotary Club of Westfield and previously served as president last term.

An IMMI employee fastens a dummy into a SafeGuard child seat.

IMMI President Tom Anthony explains how a Westfield company became a global leader in safety

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For more than 50 years, Westfield-based IMMI has been an industry leader in the design, testing and manufacturing of advanced safety systems. Located along U.S. cover story 31 just south of East 191st Street, IMMI is the largest manufacturer in Hamilton County. It employs more than 700 people, making it the eighth largest private employer in Indiana.

“We never had an overnight success,” President James Thomas “Tom” Anthony said. “Nobody’s asking for unique, simple, and elegant that over time people can’t do without.”

The story of IMMI actually began in 1915 with Anthony’s grandfather, James “Jim” Lesley Anthony. Jim started Uniform UHL, an automotive parts store supplying pieces for the 30 different manufacturers around Indianapolis.

IMMI started in 1961 at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and St. Clair Street in Indianapolis with four people and two sewing machines. Indiana Mills & Manufacturing – with mills referring to the woven component in products – was in the back portion of Uniform UHL. “My dad removed the horse stalls in the (former) fire house,” Anthony said. “Cars lined up all around the block to get retrofitted seatbelts. If they wanted to get them early they would come in and help pack them.”

In 1971, IMMI moved to Hamilton County and was located in buildings two-and-a-half blocks apart in what is now the Carmel Arts & Design District.

“There was more product on trucks going between buildings than on floors,” Anthony said.

In 1986, the company expanded its property size four times and moved to Westfield. Fifty two years since it began, IMMI has 1,000 employees and operates six facilities in North America, Asia, and Europe.

IMMI produces hundreds of innovative products for various industrial sectors, including the school bus, commercial vehicle, fire/ambulance, child seating, military, off-road, and motor coach industries.

“We’ve protected tens of millions of lives with their work ethic,” Anthony said. “Our passion is safety. We have two primary domains: protect people making their living behind the wheel and protect children from the first ride home from the hospital until they get their first set of car keys. They are making a life saving device.”

Anthony said its commercial products include boat and cargo buckle tie down systems.

“We’re doing all of the Greyhound seating now as they begin to retrofit and build new buses,” he said. “When we began we were just trying to put seatbelts in vehicles and kids in car seats. It was very simple. As safety began to get more sophisticated we saw

IMMI began in 1961 at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and St. Clair Street in Indianapolis.

the need to jump boards from just the webbing, belt and buckle, seating structures and inflatables.”

Anthony said one area that didn’t exist and has made the most advancement is child passenger safety. In the late 1970s, IMMI designed the five-point buckle system for child restraints and later created the first central adjustment child seat and SafeGuard family of products. As part of President Bill Clinton’s Blue Ribbon Panel, IMMI worked with other industry leaders to create a better anchor and latch process for vehicle child seats.

“We’re protecting over 10 million children every day,” CEO Larry Gray said. “We’re proud we are protecting 700,000 students every day, but yellow school buses transport 24 million students every day. We’re just beginning to scratch the surface.”

IMMI also protects 300,000 firefighters every day. The country’s largest fire department, FDNY, awarded them a special commendation for their work in the advancement of safety for first responders in June 2012.

“IMMI is dedicated to not only bringing safety to our first responders here in our own backyard, but also around the world,” Gray said.

Former WFD Fire Chief Todd Burtron, who now works as Mayor Andy Cook’s chief of staff, explained that Westfield serves as a

beta test site working with IMMI on safety products that help save the lives of their fellow firefighters across the nation. These products include the Smart Dock air tank securing system and a rollover system that deploys air bags and tightens seatbelts.

“They’re a global company prominent in our industry,” he said, adding the company recently did research and development on occupant restraints in the back of an ambulance. “They rode with us, observed how people moved around in the compartment. It was a real-life test opportunity.”

“We have good relations with both Westfield and Noblesville fire departments. That’s where the knowledge resides. Our relationships with them are invaluable,” Anthony said.

IMMI holds two distinctions in the crash testing industry. Its Center for Advanced Product Evaluation has a 2.2 million pound barrier block – the largest in the world. CAPE also has the distinction of having crash tested more school bus seats than any other test house in the world. In addition to school buses, CAPE also tests semi trucks, fire trucks, light rail trains and ambulances.

“The big stuff is what we do here,” ‎Marketing Communications Manager Marissa Cotten said. “We do a lot of testing of bus seats and child restraints here. Everybody knows us as the people who put seatbelts on buses, but it’s just one part.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP The future of mass transit here

Putting the rocks in Shamrocks It is our position that city of Westfield is to be congratulated for its’ ranking as one of America’s best small towns by Money magazine. The city, which has a population of 31,857, garnered a No. 18 ranking. Forever in the shadow of neighboring Carmel in the areas of education, entertainment, housing and prep athletics, Westfield has quietly created their own bright spotlight. Set to open in April 2014, the Grand Park Sports Complex will feature 31 soccer/multipurpose fields, 26 baseball diamonds, and over 10 miles of trails and pathways including a trailhead on the Monon Corridor. The Grand Park Sports Campus is anticipated to attract 650,000 visitors in its first year of operation and 1.5 million visitors in future years.

The master development plan for the city outlines approximately 1,400 acres of land available for residential and commercial development including hospitality (hotel, restaurant and retail), mixed-use, life science and corporate office uses. The city’s education system and low crime rate also factored into the rankings. Will folks from Carmel migrate to the north? Only the shadow knows. Congratulations to the citizens of Westfield for putting the “rocks” in Shamrocks.

Lead thinking Commentary by Terry Anker It could be a weakness of mine, but every few years or so I indulge myself in some manner and sort of “leadership” training. Like many things, it strikes me that leadership is a talent that is nurtured rather than a skill that is mastered. To be sure, there is some redundancy in the messages – and there are a lot of gimmicks (all designed, innocently enough I think, to help us remember both the message and the author). Having now traversed a decade or two of this kind of education, one can begin to see the patterns.

There are some who argue that to lead is to serve – imagine Mahatma Gandhi saying, “There go my people, I must hurry to catch up with them for I am their leader.” Others might argue that leadership must be strict and demanding from the top – imagine Nicco Machiavelli saying, “A leader ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred.”

Others still urge that leadership cannot be

taught (or learned) and only received as a genetic coincidence at birth – imagine Winston Churchill saying, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” While Sir Churchill was likely quoting another Englishman, William Shakespeare, the point is the same. Namely that leadership can be simply born if not pursued or demanded.

I’m not sure which, if any or all, of these views is correct. If nothing else, this twice a decade renewal refreshes my commitment to thinking about leadership as a thing to be practiced rather than a proficiency added to be added to a resume. Doesn’t taking time to consider “leadership” as both an object and as an act remind us to consider how and to whom we choose to apply it?

We’ve heard all the arguments about why mass transit will save the republic by helping to protect the environment, ease traffic congestion and possibly speed commutes into and from downtown Indianapolis. If the proponents and creators of the plan were really honest, they would admit they forgot one other reason that protects an encompassing special-interest group: the unions, whose minions, in large measure, make the current IndyGo deficit-heavy system go. We laughed out loud when the system’s communications department floated a news release at us last week. It was headlined, “INDYGO SERVICE IMPACTS DUE TO LABOR DAY HOLIDAY AND SPECIAL EVENTS.” We just had to read it. While it did mention street closures for the just-concluded Labor Day Weekend, it also noted “a Sunday/ Holiday schedule in observance of Labor Day.” Allow us to translate: That means unless the union workers got triple-quadruple overtime – you know, the kind the rest of us saps don’t get – the service would have been decimated further. True, no one would flood buses from the northern suburbs on a holiday weekend, but the fact that these so-called government holidays hold many of us hostage is ludicrous.

Face it: This is exactly what will happen if we allow government-run mass transit up in these parts. Travelers will be beholden to union rules. We may not prevail, but you can bet we’ll fight this every step of the way.

••• We stand corrected. We wrote in this space (Current, Aug. 20) that congressional staffers were exempt from Obamacare.

Disappointment leads to learning Commentary by Danielle Wilson

My husband, Doo, and I have been through the emotional ringer twice in the last week. Two of our children were trying out for humor school sports teams − the first time either has experienced an honestto-God tryout, where, gasp, they MAY NOT MAKE IT! Our freshman soccer hopeful has been playing since he was five, starting with rec leagues and then on to the sell-your-organs-to-afford travel circuit. He’s OK. Doo and I gave him a 50/50 chance, considering he was up against 40 other ninth-graders. The tryouts themselves were brutal– doubles for three days, with the selection coming at the end of the last practice. When we pulled into the parking lot, we could see the coaches settling down about a hundred teenagers, and delivering the standard “Thanks for your effort, we can’t take all of you, blah, blah, blah.” I felt sick. His best hope was that they could see his potential (he’s almost 6 feet tall), but even then, his odds were slim. I muttered one last Hail Mary, and then suddenly, it was happening. Boys began jumping up and running off to a distant huddle.

Our son’s name was not called. I was in shock. Somewhere deep down I had harbored the notion that his making the team was a sure thing. How could this have happened? What was wrong with these coaches? Why did they hate my child? The tears came when Doo took him

into Yogurtz. All those years, all that work. Was it too late to transfer him to a smaller school?

Crazy thoughts zoomed through my mind until I forced myself to get a grip. He’s only 14, for God’s sake. He’ll get over it. But would I? Our daughter’s volleyball tryouts started the following Tuesday. She’s only been playing for a year, so I wasn’t expecting much, but as she plowed her way through the four-day process, I became cautiously optimistic. After all, she only had to beat out five others. On Friday, Doo and I found ourselves once again in a parking lot. We fidgeted anxiously as individual girls emerged from the school’s double-doors. Some were crying, and we secretly cheered. Imagine that! Supposed adults celebrating when a poor little seventh-grader’s dream has just been crushed. Doo and I had been reduced to psycho parents. Finally, our daughter appeared. Stoic, then all smiles.

But she too was a “no.” Jeeze-Louise! Who do I have to pay to get a kid on a stupid team?

In my heart I know these setbacks are good learning experiences. But right now, I’m sad that they won’t have the unique opportunity to play for their schools. And I’m exhausted. Real tryouts are just too stressful. Peace out.

Divorce – What To Expect: Collaborative Law Collaborative divorce is a process by which couples work through issues of child custody, parenting time, division of financial assets and payment of marital bills and expenses through non-litigation techniques guided by specially-trained, experienced family law attorneys with the assistance, if necessary, of collaboratively trained professionals, such as child and financial specialists. The goals of collaborative practice are similar to litigation in that collaborative professionals consider the best interest of the children in custody and parenting time issues and the law in the division of assets and debts. However, collaborative professionals do not consider these issues in a vacuum, but rather in ways that also address the emotional and personal needs of the family that is being separated.

Collaborative practice recognizes that the spouses are often forever linked – even if divorced- by children, grandchild, and long-time friends.

The collaborative model is designed to assist divorcing spouses work through their disputes constructively and peacefully. This allows both parties to move forward as individuals with dignity and respect without the post-traumatic stress that often accompanies divorce. At the outset of the collaborative case, each party signs an contract to work to resolve all issues related to the divorce outside of the courtroom.

Just as in divorce litigation, collaborative practice requires both parties to provide full disclosure of all relevant issues and facts involving the children, as well as a full disclosure of all financial assets and liabilities. Both parties exchange all information and documentation necessary to make informed decisions regarding custody, parenting time, and division of the marital estate. Moreover, each party is given the time necessary to process, evaluate, and apply the information to his/her individual circumstances.

Through collaboration and communication, parties are able to resolve their differences in such a way that is beneficial to both. Most often, this is done by participation in several planned conferences, with various professionals involved as needed. The agenda’s for each conference are predetermined and parties are prepared to address the issues for each conference.

There is a Chinese proverb that is often used by collaborative professionals: “never cut what can be untied.” This is especially true in cases where married couples, especially those with children, know that divorce is inevitable, but do not wish to undergo the financial, personal, and emotional expense and stress of litigation. Dissolution is never a “winner-take-all” proposition. In fact, in most cases, there are no real winners, only losers. Protracted litigation takes a personal toll that may never be repaired. Litigation often results in emotional hurt, hard feelings, distrust and outright hatred, which negatively impact the ability of the parties to successfully co-parent their children.

Collaborative dissolution is for anyone who doesn’t want to ruin his/her life by a divorce.

Divorce is never a happy experience, but collaborative practice makes it as good as it can be. If you are interested in collaborative divorce, call any member of our collaborative team. We will be glad to answer any questions, and help you decide whether collaborative divorce is right for you!

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Game, buddies tee him off

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

The golf course where I play is now allowing seniors to hit from the ladies’ tees in the tournaments. The idea is that when you humor reach a certain age you can’t hit the ball as far as the young bucks, so allowing this advantage to those over 65 levels the playing field. Many of the guys choose not to indulge in this option because they claim it is emasculating. Some of these men have been married 40 or more years. All of a sudden, this is an issue?

The first round I played from the shorter tees, I had five pars and two birdies. I also had three guys call me Rosemary. On the 19th hole, Tina the bartender put a little flower in my drink. That’s the last time I’ll order a Shirley Temple.

It got worse as the day went on. When I was in the men’s room, Vince walked in and said “Whoops, sorry, wrong door,” then covered his eyes and backed out.

When I got home, Mary Ellen, who has no real interest in my favorite sport, had a question about some of the terminology used in the game.

“In golf, what do they mean by the purse?” I explained that the purse was the total winnings in dollars available to the players in a tournament.

“Oh, I’m glad you won money today, but be

more careful in the future,” said Mary Ellen. “The guys at the club just called and told me to tell you that you left your purse on the golf cart.”

Later that evening the women’s club champion called and asked me to stop winking at her husband at the bar.

I had taken enough flack and needed a break.

“Where are you going?” Mary Ellen asked.

“I have an appointment to get my hair done.

Jeesh, I mean, to have my hair cut…my hair cut.

Now I’m doing it to myself.”

This past Saturday I told my younger golfing partners that I was going to hit from the men’s tees, hoping it would end the abuse. Of course, I did end up hitting most of my second shots from the ladies’ tees. Then on Sunday there was a mixed tournament where the senior men and women played together. After we had all teed off, the search began for our respective shots.

“I think I found your ball,” called Randy, who had walked down the left side of the fairway.

“Is my ball the farthest?” I asked.

“No, but it is the pinkest.”

Turns out ol’ F. Scott Fitzgerald was right. The rich really are different from you and me.

Especially when they get behind humor the wheel.

Did you see this story? A study suggests people who drive luxury automobiles which shall remain nameless but whose initials include B. M., and W. act like they own the road and the rest of us are just using it at their sufferance.

Here’s the gist of it: Researchers at the Institute of Personality and Social Research at the University of California in Berkeley, studying behavior and wealth, devoted a portion of their research to driving habits.

They looked at two situations: One at an intersection in which a pedestrian entered a crosswalk as a car approached (under California law, the car is required to stop and let the pedestrian cross); and at a four-way stop with more than one car at the crossroads.

In each case they found the more expensive the car, the more low-rent the behavior – and the more low-value the car, the nicer the driver.

“You see this huge boost in a driver’s likelihood to commit infractions in more expensive cars,” said researcher Paul K. Piff. “In our crosswalk study, none of the cars in the beater category drove through the crosswalk. They always stopped for pedestrians.”

The study also found that at four-way stops,

the old rule about the car on the right going first was pretty much ignored by the well-heeled and well-wheeled.

Now, this is not to suggest that all rich people are rude drivers, or that all rude drivers are rich, or that all who drive Beemers are rich and rude.

Some are upper middle class and rude.

Kidding. Just a little BMW humor there.

No, really, we’ve all run across (or been run into by) plenty of examples that defied the study results. You don’t have to have money to be a non-signaling turner and lane-changer, a tailgater, a passenger-side passer, or a soon-as-the-light-turns-green-horn-honker.

But still, there must be something to the survey. I wonder if the take-away isn’t so much a question of money making people into bad drivers, as making them arrogant. I think it might have something to do with isolation, of people who use wealth to wrap themselves in a sort of cocoon not just behind the wheel but in every aspect of their lives. Maybe money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a certain kind of isolation.

Or so I surmise. Having never had money to speak of, I can’t really say.

But I can say that when you see me rumbling up to a four-way stop, you can be sure I’ll be polite about taking my turn. I drive an old truck.

Fun for all ages at Zionsville Fall Fest

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com

As the final days of summer draw to a close, the annual end of season checklist rears its unwelcome head: Most area schools festival are back in session. Check. Many families have returned from vacation. Check. People are making the most of the remaining days of warm weather. Check.

However, residents of Zionsville have one more item on that checklist, and it is one of celebration and community spirit, the annual Fall Festival. The Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival is a week-end long event featuring food, games, carnival rides, live entertainment, and vendors; not to mention an auction, dancing, and a kickoff parade. The theme of this year’s Fall Festival is “Rock around the Clock.”

Since its inception, Fall Festival’s goal has been to raise money to maintain Lions Park, and it remains the Lions Club’s biggest fundraiser.

Tim Reinhart, Lions Club president and Festival chair, explained both the need for financial resources and the significance of Lions Park.

“The park is not supported by tax dollars.

All of the revenue for the park comes from the Lions Club fundraisers,” he said.

Attendance at the festival will be crucial to meeting fundraising goals. “We anticipate a crowd of about 25,000 over the three days,” Reinhart said.

The three days will kick off on Sept. 6 with a VIP carnival for children and adults with special

trants. Carnival games, a kids’ area, live dance and band performances and an adult and teen party complete the day. Sept. 8 begins with the Spokes of Hope bike race and a community worship service, and ends with the Miss Outstanding Teen pageant. There will be an unlimited ride $15 wristband available.

“This is typically ranked as the most fun event every year in Zionsville,” Reinhart said.

“We cater to all ages. We like to have something for everyone, for the young children, for the teenagers, and the adults. It’s a great opportunity to experience the community of Zionsville.”

The Basics

The kids’ area will include face painting, counce houses, and other fun activities.

‘Pippin’ brings magic and mystery Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

If you’ve never seen this show, haven’t seen it lately, or have only heard the catchy tunes from it, you may think of “Pippin” theater as a light-hearted show about a merry band of troubadors who show us the coming-of-age story of a young prince. The reality is that while the show is indeed chock-full of lively and memorable tunes, it actually explores a sharp contrast between good and evil, and the struggle that we all face daily to do the right thing and find our place in the world.

Stephen Schwartz’ “Pippin” debuts at the Tarkington Theatre on Sept. 6, opening Civic Theatre’s season.

The opening number in the show is “Magic to Do,” in which the audience is invited to take a journey along with a magical and mysterious troupe of players. The Leading Player tells the audience about Pippin, the son of a king, who is searching for meaning and significance in his life.

Pippin then enters and tells of his search in the popular song “Corner of the Sky.” Pippin’s adventures take him through various loves, war, and even murder until he finally finds his own version of a happy ending.

“The music is what really drives this show,” said musical director Brent Marty. “It has a pop feel and it really pulls the audience in.” Marty will conduct the thirteen-piece orchestra, which includes three keyboards. “Pippin has always been a favorite of mine—I just saw it on Broadway,” said Marty, who has been with Civic since 1998.

“Pippin” is directed by Ryan Koharchik. He has been the resident scenic and lighting designer for Civic since 1996. Some of his most notable Civic productions include: “Evita,” “Aida,” “Into the Woods,” “The Will Rogers Follies” and “City of Angels.”

“At the heart of this show is the choice between the darkness and the light,” said Koharchik. “We all have a good voice and a bad voice in our own heads, and only we can choose which voice we listen to. It’s an ‘everyman’ story.”

In various productions of “Pippin” over the years, the role of The Leading Player has been portrayed by both men and women. Ben Vereen originated the character on Broadway, for which

Ensemble members Ashley Saunders and Dejuan Jackson (Photo by Karen Kennedy)

he won a Tony. In Civic’s production, the role is played by Nathalie Cruz, who was last seen playing the Witch in “Into the Woods” on the Booth Tarkington stage.

“I wanted to cast a woman in the role,” said Koharchik, “because I wanted Pippin’s love interest, Catherine, to represent the voice of goodness and The Leading Player to represent the voice of darkness.”

The role of Pippin is played by Ethan Litt, a former Ball State student who is making his Civic debut. He is from Indianapolis, IN and recently graduated from Ball State University with a BFA in musical theatre. “Ethan brings an instant likability to the character. He was the perfect choice,” said Koharchik.

Of the journey that the show takes, Koharchik said, “I want the audience to constantly wonder, ‘what’s happening next?’ The show is full of surprises. It explores different time periods, including a 3-D ‘trip’ through the 70’s. But I wanted to make it relevant to today as well, so we’re using video as well.”

Many different styles of music!

Recovery moving in right direction Commentary by Jim Litten

With 2,457 sales in July in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 19.4 percent compared to this time last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. real estate Tucker Co. On a monthly basis, July 2013 home sales fell 0.3 percent compared to July 2012, a slight decrease of seven homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Four counties reported increased sales compared to July 2012.

Specifically in Hamilton County, home sales for the first seven months of 2013 rose 22.3 percent compared to the same time last year.

Year to date, Hamilton County home sales soared to 4,280 – an increase of 781 homes from the same time last year. The rise in home sales in Westfield, specifically, isn’t surprising when you consider that it ranked 18th in the nation on CNN Money’s “Best Places to Live” list. Affordable housing, as well as low crime and downtown development, are among the factors that contributed to Westfield’s ranking on the list.

Westfield experienced an increase in home sales. In July 2013, 78 homes pended – up eight

homes compared to July 2012.

Home prices are up in Westfield. In July 2013, the average home cost $236,661 – an increase of $15,810 from July 2012.

Of the home sales in Westfield last month, one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; five were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 17 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 18 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 36 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less.

Inventory continues to tighten. In July 2013, 257 homes were available for sale in Westfield. In July 2012, 317 homes were on the market.

It’s common for home sales to slow a bit as we move into the second half of the year. Even though sales in some areas pulled back slightly in July, the average home price continued to climb. With competitive prices and shrinking inventory, we believe our housing recovery will continue to move in the right direction.

Meeting the needs not enough Commentary by CJ McClanahan

Years ago, there were only two primary methods for growing your business – advertise and hire a sales force. move the needle Today, the rules have changed.

In 2013, your ability to expand market share is limited only by your imagination and effort.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is that if it’s easy for you, it’s also easy for everyone else. The unfortunate result is a cluttered marketplace filled with thousands of messages coming from all directions – Facebook, Twitter, banner advertising, QR codes, etc. It seems impossible to avoid the non-stop marketing assault.

This has a led to a daunting challenge - How do you break through all the noise?

It’s not easy, but it can be done.

The key to succeeding under these new rules is to train a new sales force – your customers.

Because we are overloaded with information, we ignore most advertising. Instead, when we are looking to make a purchase, we turn to one

place for a recommendation – a past customer.

This can happen in a variety of ways. You might choose to ask a friend about their experience, check online customer reviews, or simply request an opinion from your Facebook friends.

As a result, it’s no longer acceptable to simply meet the needs of your customers. You need to exceed their every expectation and create a raving fan each time they engage your company.

While creating raving fans is different for every business, here’s a few universal tactics to get you started.

Thank every customer for their business.

Systematize your processes so that the same service gets delivered every time.

Ask them for feedback.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

They probably get away with in speech, errors you could probably also don’t appreciate my because the words sound so similar. In get away with in speech, helpful suggestions as to writing, though, they’re a bit more glaring. because the words sound how they could more apso similar. In writing, propriately use them.

Udder madness in the streets of Jaipur

Jaipur, a walled city of about three million people in northwest India, was founded in 1727

by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. It travel has been known as the “pink city” since 1876, when buildings were painted pink to welcome Prince Edward (later King Edward VII). Jaipur’s most famous pink building, the Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds), has an intricate sandstone façade representing the crown of Krishna, a Hindu god often given the title of Gopala, the Protector of Cows. The cows protected by Krishna wander in and along Jaipur’s unusually broad streets, reflecting the Hindu conception of the divine. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The central fact of Hinduism is cow protection.”

Hindus, constituting about 80 percent of India’s population, believe that all sentient beings are animated by an essence called “Atman,” a name related to the English word “atmosphere.”

They also believe the eternal Atman is indistinguishable from Brahman, the transcendent reality underlying all the traditional Hindu gods.

As a result, most Hindus are vegetarians and see killing or even corralling animals in the same way they would see doing the same thing to a person or to a god. So, not only do cows roam freely in Indian cities, but so do monkeys and other animals.

Indians revere their cows more than the other

Cows and people wandering in Jaipur.

animals in their streets because of what cows provide. During its life, a cow provides milk for families, dung for fire and fertilizer and muscles for farms, all without complaint. Upon its natural death, a cow provides skin for shoes and bones for buttons. So important is the cow to the Indian way of life that its name “gau mata” means “mother cow” and ancient Hindu texts refer to the cow as the mother of civilization.

In the crowded streets of Jaipur and other Indian cities, cows block traffic, cause accidents

and create chaos in the markets. But efforts to curb their freedom even a little are met with protests. So the cows continue to roam, presenting a living illustration of the Hindu belief that the divine resides in all creatures, great and small.

Accent pillows are important to a rich look.

Eighteen-inch polyester pillows just don’t cut it so consider this an opportunity to splurge. Use pillows that are oversized and filled with down.

You have seen these houses; they appear on the front of Elegant Living Magazine and are plastered all over Houzz. decorating They are the lovely homes that exude graciousness… and lots and lots of money.

Sometimes they are the homes of celebrities or software developers but sometimes they are the homes of real people who simply did decorating “right.”

There are tangible differences between the house that just happens and the one that is carefully sculpted into a piece of art.

The home that looks complete will be accomplished through a planned process and, with the exception of periodic updates, will be left to enjoy.

This will sound harsh to those who just love to shop. My best advice is to decorate once and do it right. After that, focus on shoes or sweaters for the shopping fix.

Rich looking homes do have features that set them apart. Drapery is typically full, lined and interlined. It touches the floor or puddles. It does not come out of a plastic bag. Rich homes will take drapery well beyond the top of the window… to the ceiling in some cases.

Most rich looking homes will have wood floors.

Wall to wall carpet can never look as warm and inviting as wood.

since the necessary yardage is far less than anything else in your home.

Use patterns judiciously to achieve a richer look. Texture is a subtle element that sets a rich looking room apart from a so-so house.

Loose the builder grade lighting. Splurge on one fabulous chandelier for the dining area or foyer. It will set the tone for the rest of the lighting in the home.

Try painting doors black. It elevates them to new importance.

Loose the clutter. Any item that is visible should be a part of the overall design plan.

Beef up your molding. If crown molding is already in place, you can give it the illusion of being far grander by simply adding a strip four to six inches down and painting it all the same.

Take a room and paint it a deep dark chocolate or indigo. Light color furnishing and art will explode in such a room.

Remember, the homes that look as if they belong to the wealthiest among us are treated as planned project with a start and a finish to the vision. Certainly, such homes can evolve but there is a calm luxury in living life in a home that is not in a constant state of incompletion.

YOUR WEDDING ‘DO Are you are agonizing over how to wear your hair on your big day? It is one of the most important days of your life, and it is vital to look and feel your best! Deciding on the perfect hairstyle requires some thought, so consider these tips when finalizing your ‘do plan.

1. Talk to your stylist. Several months before your big day, get professional tips on what to do to get (and keep) your hair in the best shape possible. If you are thinking about a drastic change in hair color or style, it is best to try it out many months before your wedding day.

2. Plan early. If you have short hair or bangs you would like to grow out,

S a l o n

begin the process immediately. It takes short hair many months to reach shoulder length or longer, which is ideal for many up-do styles.

3. Consider your dress style.

During the consultation with your stylist, make sure they understand the neckline and style of your dress.

This will help decide which style might be best for you. Bring in a picture of your dress if you have one available.

With careful consideration and open dialogue with a professional stylist, you will ensure that the end result will be one you love! You will gain joy looking back over your wedding photos for years to come.

Master bath remodel: Updating 1990s materials

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING MASTER BATH: Built in 1999, this home located in the Lynnwood at Plum Creek neighborhood in Carmel blueprint for does not improvement look its age.

However, as the second owners, these homeowners knew they would remodel the master bathroom. “When we bought, we loved the house and the location,” stated one of the homeowners. “However, the master bath was very pink and dated, so we planned to change it right from the start.”

DESIGN PROCESS: “The original bathroom was done with builder grade materials,” said one of the owners. “The tub was bigger than the shower, and was not a good use of space. We had a big, beautiful bathroom space with vaulted ceilings, but we did not like the style or functionality. You use your bathroom every day, and we wanted to create a space we liked.”

ENLARGED SHOWER: Enlarging the shower was the top priority for the new design. According to one of the owners,“The old shower was so small it was annoying and difficult to use. We wanted a shower like the one we had in our last house, with double shower heads and a corner seat. A big shower works well for us.” Relocat-

Before ing the expanded shower to an existing corner opposite the double-door entry made it a focal point for the space. A frameless glass door in the arched doorway highlights the uniquely-textured white wall tiles and the granite seat.

INCREASED STORAGE: The homeowners knew what they wanted for storage as well. “I was looking for more than a linen closet in the bathroom,” stated the homeowners. The cabinetry next to the shower has space for towels, but also serves as storage for accessories like scarves, hats and purses.

FINAL RESULT: The final result was pleasing.

“We were looking for our bathroom to feel like an upscale spa in a luxurious hotel. Working in collaboration with our designer using 3-D modeling

After software helped us see the final product before it was built. It was helpful to see the scale of each part. We love the new space. The Tiffany box-inspired colors gave us the clean look we wanted, and the light fixture is the perfect jewelry for the room.”
