A burger chain has its eyes on Westfield – and the mouths of local customers.

Bagger Dave’s Burger development Tavern is seeking approval to build a new restaurant at 2740 E. 146th St. The proposal was presented to the Westfield Advisory Plan Commission on Sept. 3. In its request, the restaurant is looking to be built on 0.84 acres, approximately 900 feet east of Oak Road on 146th Street.

“It is the remaining out lot of Cool Creek Village,” Westfield Senior Planner Kevin Todd said. “They’re plugging this in. It’s part of the center’s master plan.”

The proposal calls for a 4,700 square foot single story building with approximately 400 square feet of outdoor patio seating. Todd said the property is currently unimproved land surrounded by existing structures and businesses to the north, west and east.

“There’s a handful of zoning issues – landscaping plans, lighting fixtures and screening of mechanical equipment,” he said, adding that such issues are typical for new projects when they are first presented. “They’ll be fully compliant two weeks from now.”

Other concerns raised by the APC include access to the restaurant, which will have no additional access off of 146th Street besides the existing one for Cool Creek Village.

“I think there’s going to be some challenges,” City Council member Steve Hoover, who also serves on the APC, said. “It deserves a look from our traffic engineers. I’m also concerned about parking and making sure parking will be sufficient.”

APC member Dan Degnan is also concerned that

signage will be an issue like it was for existing businesses surrounding the proposed location.

“I’m not trying to be cynical but I do believe it will be an issue,” he said.

Bagger Dave’s has locations in Avon, Fort Wayne, Greenwood, Indianapolis and Terre Haute. In addition to Westfield, the chain has plans for a new location in Fishers. The restaurant specializes in burgers, sandwiches/subs and pub food. They have a gluten-free menu, sports bar, are kid-friendly and offer free Wi-Fi. The petition was reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee at its Aug.20 meeting and will be reviewed and voted on by the APC at its Sept. 16 meeting. The proposal will then be passed to the Westfield City Council with a recommendation.

ON THE WEB

Road closure – The intersection of 136th Street and Eglin Drive is expected to close on or after Sept. 16 for approximately 60 days while crews construct the new roundabout that will improve traffic flow in this area during future construction. Traffic on eastbound 136th Street will be detoured to Smokey Row Road via Illinois Street, Carmel Drive and Old Meridian Street. Traffic on Rohrer Road will be detoured to 136th Street via southbound U.S. 31 and Main and Illinois streets.

Monon Trail information meeting – The City of Westfield will hold a public information meeting at 7 p.m. Sept. 17 in the Assembly Room of Westfield City Hall, 130 Penn St. The purpose of the public meeting is to present the preliminary multi-purpose pathway and cycle track improvements, primarily along the Monon Rail Grade, between Main (Ind. 32) and 216th streets.

Migration station – Stroll the White River Greenway Trail at Potter’s Bridge Park, 19401 N. Allisonville Rd., Noblesville, while looking for birds at 4p.m. Sept. 14. Water attracts birds all year, but fall migration is an especially great time to be along the river looking for birds.

Binoculars will be helpful, but if you don’t have them the Hamilton County Parks Dept. will have some to borrow.

Silver pen – Katie Coffman of Westfield High School won third place in The Stratford in Carmel’s Silver Pen Essay Contest. The Stratford asked seniors to discuss how technology has impacted our senior citizens. Community members on the Resident Advisory Committee choose the four winners with cash prizes of $1,500, $1,000 and $750.

Armed robbery suspect still at large news@currentwestfield.com Westfield Police are still searching for an armed robbery suspect that stole money from a bank on Aug. 31. crime Shortly after 8:30 a.m. Aug. 31, Westfield Police were dispatched to a confirmed robbery attempt at Community Bank, 144 W. Main St. Upon arrival, police officials said it was confirmed that a robbery had occurred. With the assistance of the Noblesville Police Dept. and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office a perimeter was set up around the area.

WPD Spokesman Sgt. Robert Dine stated that the suspect entered the bank when it opened, displayed a handgun and demanded money.

“He fled the bank, with an undetermined amount of money, and ran south on foot. Witnesses say he entered an older white minivan and fled the area,” he stated.

Witnesses described the suspect as a dark complected, thin African American male in his

early twenties, who is believed to be between 5’10 and 6’1 feet tall. Dine said the suspect was last seen wearing dark pants, dark shirt and his face was covered by a white bandana or pillow case.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the WPD at 773-1300 or 804-3200.

Vote stalemate – The Hamilton County Council had to continue a motion to approve funding for Ivy Tech after a 3-3 vote on Sept. 4. Council member Steve Schwartz of Noblesville, who previously voted in favor of all Ivy Tech matters before the council, was absent from the meeting. Council members Brad Beaver, Jim Belden and Meredith Carter voted in favor of the interlocal agreement for an Ivy Tech campus in Hamilton County. Council members Paul Ayers, Amy Massillamany and Rick McKinney voted against it. The agreement requires a $11.9 million bond over 20 years by the county and a $3 million payment by the City of Noblesville. Attorney Michael Howard said the county plans to close on the building with Noblesville Schools by the end of the year. He said the district would then lease back the building for the remaining 2013-2014 school year at the interest costs. Ivy Tech would then take over the building next summer.

The decision on the bond will be tabled to the council’s next meeting at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 11.

Kids’ sale expects crowd

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Kids Sale organizers said this year’s three-day event will be “more than just a sale.” Owner Lori Chandler coming soon estimates 2,500 shoppers will attend this year’s Hamilton County Kids Sale on Sept. 12 through 14 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 E. Pleasant St., Noblesville.

Chandler said the sale began in 2005 with 15 consigners in the front yard of a Carmel home.

After years of a steady increase of sellers, the event now combines about 300 consigners.

“The last couple of years we’ve capped it.

Once we hit 300 we close registration,” she said.

“I enjoy knowing my sellers.”

Chandler said the sale includes “anything you would need for kids,” including clothes for newborns to teens, maternity wear for expecting mothers, toys and equipment like strollers, high chairs and bounce seats.

“Items began at $1 and go to anything. Clothes are typically $2 to $6,” she said. “You can really shop and see 75 to 90 percent off retail prices.”

More than 50,000 items will be jammed in the 16,000 square feet of exhibition hall space at the 4-H Fairgrounds. Chandler said instead of visiting booth after booth, sellers bring their items, use the online tagging system and put a price on each item.

Workers then organizer all items by size and gender for clothes or genre for toys and equipment.

“It’s so much easier. You don’t have to rifle through everything like at a garage sale,” Chandler said. “It’s the only place I buy my kids’ stuff.”

Before items are placed in its particular sec-

tion, they are checked by workers.

“Are clothes in good quality or current style?

If it requires batteries, are batteries in them?

Everything is screened by us to make sure it is in good quality,” Chandler said.

Chandler said this year will incorporate new events like car seat checks, giveaways and character visits from Mickey, Minnie and Elmo on Sept. 12 and 13 to entertain children accompanying adults.

“We’re real excited about the new events,” Chandler said.

The sale is 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 12, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 13 and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 14. Those who bring diapers or diaper wipes to donate to Good Samaritan Network will be allowed to enter half an hour before the event opens to the public on Sept. 12.

The event does not charge an admission fee.

Chandler said items can be purchased with cash, MasterCard or Visa.

Cutting a new career path

By Patricia Griffin Mangan news@currentwestfield.com

Never underestimate the living that a hair stylist could earn if trained at an institution such as Kaye’s Beauty Everday people College “where knowledge and talent meet” according to owner Jim Galloway. Kaye’s has been in business since l974 when Kaye Maxwell opened her shop on Conner Street in Noblesville.

Sarah Colby, 2l, works in the Senior Program where she will complete 200 of the 1,500 hours required to graduate. Colby will apprentice at the upscale beauty salon, I.D. entity Hair Design, in Indianapolis. The Westfield resident is already working part time at a salon which could earn her big bucks despite dropping out of Indiana University. Uncertain about what she wanted to do in life, Colby said she was influenced by a beautician whom she knew and who worked out of her home.

Galloway, director of admissions, does not guarantee job placement, but staff at Kaye’s does their very best to give references to salons.

“Compared to other four-year colleges, we have a much better placement, less loan debt and provide more job opportunities for the 2,500 students since we have been in business,” Galloway said. “People do not realize all that is involved with obtaining a license.”

Galloway said it takes 1,500 hours and almost

two years to complete courses for cosmetology and to prepare students to take state board exams to transition to a salon environment. In the Senior Studio, another 700 hours, which takes six to nine months to complete, prepares students with skills developed in final preparation for medical esthetics (facials) in advanced areas such as chemical peels and micro-dermabrasions.

Kaye’s also has a men’s salon with separate accommodations and offers a program where high school students attend in the mornings and train to be stylists in the afternoons. Noblesville and Westfield high schools offer this program.

they lived, what events occurred in their lifetime, what they did and who they were associated with.

“I create a story from historical points. The context is historically accurate,” he said. “Some of the people we try to tell in a humorous way. Some are an emotional or serious way.”

The Location

Westfield has two historic cemeteries in its parks. Baumann said the Old Friends Cemetery in Old Friends Cemetery Park and Anti-Slavery Cemetery in Asa Bales Park were created one year apart in the mid-1830s. Old Friends Cemetery Park was established in 1834 and is the site of the first cemetery in Westfield.

Westfield-Washington Historical Society’s Bruce Hansen said differences in ethical beliefs on how to approach slavery caused some local Quaker churches to split, including Westfield’s. Asa Bales and others formed the Westfield Friends Anti-Slavery Society, built a separate meeting house and set land aside for a cemetery.

“Each year we’ve had some people who are buried in the two cemeteries. It’s really unique. History comes to life. Seeing someone tell that story at the gravesites – this person really existed. It provides connection to the cemetery,” Baumann said. “It’s a neat way for us to tell Westfield stories and program at private pieces of our parks system.”

Voices from the Past began in 2011 during Recreation Program Coordinator Stephanie Baumann’s first year with the Westfield Parks department. The program is a unique cover story way to learn about Westfield’s history through the lives of former citizens.

“It was done in my hometown (Winona, Minn.). I shamelessly stole the idea,” she said. “We have the locations and cemeteries and information started. It’s a great way to share history with the community.”

The event combines the parks department with volunteers from its Heritage Committee, Westfield Playhouse and WestfieldWashington Historical Society.

“We couldn’t do the event without either group. It’s well received and grew from year one to year two and we’re hoping to see it grow again as well,” Baumann said. “People would say, ‘I didn’t know that about Westfield.’”

This year’s characters include Dr. Jacob and Jane Plaff, John and Louann Rhodes, Asa Bales, Samuel Pittman, William Vestal Wheeler, Asaph and Sarah Hiatt and Oliver Morton Carey.

Main Street Productions/Westfield Playhouse President John Sampson, who will portray Dr. Jacob Plaff, said after the success of the first year, the organization decided to continue participating each year.

“The actors were willing to help Main Street Productions the first year and after the pleasure they had, many have asked to be in one again,” he said. “After the success with the schools’ attendance, even more actors have heard of what we are doing and are eager to be involved.”

Sampson said the actors dress in outfits resembling those of the time frame and take time off work to be out interacting with students and the public.

“By doing three different performances (last year) the attendance sky rocketed and this year promises to be even bigger,” he said. “This cooperation has been a win-win situation for all and Main Street Productions will be there as long as it goes on.”

Baumann said this year’s Voices from the Past will have more exposure as four Westfield Washington Schools groups are taking field trips on Sept. 13. She said second-graders from Maple Glen and Carey Ridge elementary schools and fourth-graders from Monon Trace and Washington Woods will be in attendance.

“We’re really excited to be able to do that,” she said. “It’s a really good way to show Westfield history to those students. They’re so interested and engaged. It’s a great way to get kids excited about history.”

Hansen said seeing the reaction and involvement of students to the program last year was a highlight for the historical society.

“Local Westfield history has never had an audience like that before. They were learning about actual people living in their community long ago,” he said. “Who knew a simple walk in the park with some actors could interest people thoroughly?”

The Tours

are,” he said. “We feature three to four persons of historic interest in each cemetery.”

Creating the script of each “character” is time consuming. Hansen said he spends much of his time researching the history. If possible, he uses a journal or time period writings of the people.

When those are not available, Hansen uses all resources available and researches similar people.

“I find people of the same era and chronological events to accurately portray them,” he said. “You just have to piece it together.”

Hansen said scripts are based on when people are born, where

Guided tours run every 10 minutes from 6 to 6:30 p.m. on Sept.

13 and 1 to 3:30 p.m. Sept. 14. Tours will begin at the east entrance to Asa Bales Park, 211 N. Union St., and last approximately one and a half hours with approximately 35 minutes of walking. To reserve a tour, call 804-3183.

Tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets are available for purchase online at www.westfield.in.gov, at the Westfield City Service Center, 2728 E. 171st St., or at the event. Proceeds benefit the Westfield-Washington Historical Society and Westfield Playhouse.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP This arts festival benefits our region

Minimum wager It is our position that fast food workers striking in favor of wage increases should take an Economics 101 class. According to a Ball State University study released in April, Indiana’s average personal income lags more than a decade behind the income levels enjoyed by the nation as a whole. So why shouldn’t minimum wage workers protest for higher wages?

Protesting is certainly within their first amendment rights.

Is it within their right to request a $15 an hour wage for cashier and fry cook positions once considered feeder jobs into the world of paid employment for teenagers and those who chose not to pursue higher education? Granted, dealing with the public requires a great deal of patience and keeping up with the quick pace of restaurant life can be exhausting.

However, the very virtues such as low cost meals that motivate the hurried, hungry public to take a spin through the drive-thru on their way home from work would soon disappear if employers nearly doubled the wages of its restaurant staff. Perhaps the protesters are waging their own plight for higher wages on behalf of all underpaid hourly workers regardless if the task is flipping burgers or emptying bedpans. Someone deserves a break – the question is, just who?

Where books really count Commentary by Terry Anker A week from today, the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation will host a roundtable discussion moderated by Inside Indiana Business host and founder, Gerry Dick, on the matter of the role of libraries in entrepreneurship and business success. Along with Matt Frey, owner of Bub’s Burgers & Ice Cream and Bub’s Café, Mickey Maurer, chairman of IBJ Media Corp., IBJ columnist, and author of “10 Essential Principles of Entrepreneurship You Never Learned in School,” and Mo Merhoff, Carmel Chamber of Commerce president, I will answer questions and posit thoughts on the role of a library in modern times.

It is likely to come as no surprise that I am counted among the believers in the role of the humanities to help us understand and cling to one another in spite (or perhaps because) of the dehumanizing tumult that surrounds us almost everywhere in almost every way. There is nothing that brings us closer to empathy for the life of another more than literature. In the fear

of Anne Frank, the adventure of Jack London’s Buck and the tragedy of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we are able to find new perspective. But libraries do far more. They provide access to thinking – and to thinkers. In a world wide web, they are a crucial entrée, at once rousing a thirst for knowledge and quenching it.

Once imagined to be piles of dusty old books, modern libraries, through a myriad of programs, are intended to inspire, inform and initiate. Join us from 7:30 to 9 a.m. on Sept. 17 in the Program Room at the Carmel Clay Public Library, 4th Ave. SE, Carmel. Call the Foundation Office at 8143905 for more info. Registration is not required for the free event. Besides, they provide the bagels and coffee and how can that not be a good thing?!

It’s nearly that time of year again. The Carmel International Arts Festival, entering its 16th year, will run Sept. 28 and 29 in the Arts & Design District. This is an event for everyone, and dare we state here, well worth your time. Current is proud to be sponsoring it for the sixth year, and we’re eager, as many of you are, to see what Executive Director Rosemary Waters and her team of volunteers has cooked up for attendees. Long ago, this transitioned from a “just Carmel event” to one for the entire region - if not multiple states beyond. We know from our independent marketplace research that the arts – all of them – are of strong interest to our readership, and it is for that reason that we’re bringing the festival to your attention. There will be more than 125 juried artists displaying wares in watercolor, oil, 2D, jewelry, photography, 3D, wood, sculpture and pottery, among other mediums. It’s high-end work by scores of professionals – and, thankfully, you won’t find sand art or finger-painting works, although there will be activities for “young artists.”

This festival has been and still is free to attend, and last year more than 30,000 folks partook of the exhibits, shopping and diverse entertainment. There is plenty of free parking, notably in the parking garage at the Indiana Design Center, one and a half blocks south of the festival on South Range Line Road, and at Carmel High School, from which a shuttle will operate. In addition, visitors may park at Old Town Shoppes, Main Street and Range Line Road, or at the Lions Club lot just east of Range Line Road on the south side of Main Street. Truly, this event has something for everybody. Please mark your calendars and plan to take in this phenomenal event. For more information, visit www.carmelartsfestival.org.

Respect where you ride

Editor, As someone who enjoys biking, I was pleased to see Westfield embracing the idea of designated bike loops. Trails are a safe and highly enjoyable way for everyone to get out and ride.

With the increasing number of bikers there is also an increase in something most bikers are not aware of – noise pollution. Bikers voices are extremely loud and can be anywhere from irritating to disturbing to the people who live on these loops. I live in a quiet rural community that is on one of the designated loops, and many morn-

ings am startled awake by the sound of a biker’s voice coming in my bedroom window, sometimes as early as 5:30 a.m. Because my road is a very popular biking destination this problem continues throughout the day. A good deal of this could be eliminated if bikers would obey the same rules as they do when they are driving, such as stopping at stop signs, using hand signals for turns, and looking ahead for oncoming traffic before passing. Respect where you ride – be aware of noise pollution.

Girls can’t wait to be Daisies

Editor, Once again the fall season is upon us and girls are beginning to head back to school.

Girl Scouts of Central Indiana invites all girls who entered kindergarten this fall to become Girl Scout Daisies. Girl Scout Daisies meet in a nurturing, inclusive environment. They learn many new skills while having fun and making new friends. They go on trips, learn about nature and science, and explore the arts in their communities. Girl Scout Daisies can also earn learning petals and receive participation patches.

Hannah, a new Girl Scout Daisy, was heard saying, “I love being a Daisy. It’s hard not to when you have so much fun! I’ve made so many new friends.”

Girl Scouts of Central Indiana is always looking for adults who want to help Girl Scout Daisies on their path through Girl Scouting. Adults who volunteer find it is very rewarding to see a girl achieve her full potential and use her leadership skills.

I may have an unhealthy relationship with my automobile. My husband called yesterday to tell me that he had run Mini-Van humor by Car Max, and that if they had offered him just a few hundred dollars more, he would have sold her on the spot. I almost started crying. Crying! Over a car. What’s the matter with me?

She is, after all, a 2006 Dodge Caravan with no working A/C, side doors, or cup holders. She surpassed 100,000 miles this summer on a road trip that required a trip to Clark Tire to fix what we thought was a busted transmission, but turned out to be just a leaky water pump.

She has a large dent on the driver’s side door courtesy of our stupid garage, which rudely attacked me two Octobers ago as I was pulling in.

Perhaps you’ve seen me driving about town with a magnetic band-aid covering the “boo-boo”?

The point is she’s a piece of crap, and I should be excited about getting rid of her rather than weepy at the thought of selling her off for death by dis-part-ment.

But here’s the thing. We’ve been through a lot together, Mini-Van and I. I’ve driven her to two NCAA Final Fours, decorating her with enough red and black paint to embarrass my teenager and make seeing out the windows slightly challenging. She’s hauled my family all over the state of Indiana, to the Rocky Mountains and the Atlan-

tic Ocean, and enough times on the I-65 corridor from Chicago to Montgomery that we know exactly which gas stations to avoid for their unsanitary bathrooms. This is also the car that made one of the most memorable ER runs in Wilson family history [see Archives, May 12, 2009, for a thrilling account].

On a smaller scale, my kids have probably spent more time in this van than in any other vehicle apart from her predecessor, Big Red, may she rest in peace. Carpooling to soccer, swimming, volleyball, cross country, gymnastics, dance, tennis, track, hurling (not really, just wanted to see if you were paying attention) and basketball has filled a big portion of their day-to-day lives. Honestly, they’ve spilled more milk, soda and Gatorade in Mini-Van than they have at our kitchen table, attestable by the slight smell of rot that emanates from the cloth-interior on especially hot days.

Mini-Van is not just our mode of transportation. She is our historian. Every stain, scratch and unidentifiable food glob tells a story of my family. So, yeah, when I finally have to part with her, I’m going to bawl like a little girl. Maybe it’s unhealthy, but it’s the way I feel. I love you, MiniVan! Peace out.

It is a ‘clothes call’

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

It’s that time of year again and the dreaded day is not far off. Could be Sept. 27 or Sept. 30.

Sometimes it’s Oct. 3 or Oct. 11. I humor never know what day it will actually be; I just get up one morning and I know it has arrived.

It’s the day I take my summer clothes down to the basement and bring my winter clothes up to my bedroom. This might be a good time to breeze through your paper and see if there is a more worthwhile article to read. On the other hand, you might be one of many who are saying, “Gee, I guess I’m not the only one who does this. I better stick this column on my fridge.”

Every fall I also promise myself that I will wash or dry-clean all my spring and summer wardrobe so that when April 12 rolls around (or March 7 or March 17 or April 23) I can just go down to the basement and take everything fresh off the rack. This is an odd plan, since I don’t have any racks in the basement. My golf shirts are hanging on the hot water pipes, my pants are in an old bureau draw that has no handles, and my short-sleeve shirts have been deposited in a black plastic garbage bag in the crawl space.

I would donate some of the outdated clothes to a charity, but they’re pretty musty, and I don’t want to create any ill-will at Goodwill.

There are advantages to this clothing trans-

fer. You get to learn a lot about your basement that you never knew. Just last year, when I was digging for my wool sweaters, I came upon an odd-looking thing on the wall that my neighbor said contains something called circuit breakers.

I had never seen this door before because my pale blue leisure suits were draped over the metal box and had hidden it from view. Apparently, circuit breakers are important in an emergency if things get too hot. That’s the way I feel about my leisure suits.

I also found my tax records from l978 in a mildewed storage box on a top shelf behind three pairs of gray flannel pants stuffed in a torn lampshade. I remember that 1978 was the one year I kept really, really good records, so I hope if I ever get audited by the IRS, they pick 1978. I think I could impress them with my accounting acumen and classic fashion sense, especially if I wear those pants, which are also from 1978.

I just had a great idea. This year I’m not going to switch my summer clothes for my fall and winter clothes. I’m going to move my bed down to the basement. That seems a lot easier.

Milestone musicals, shows delight B&B season

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinwestfield.com Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre will mark its 41st season in 2014 with four acclaimed musicals celebrating milestone antheatre niversaries. The theatre will also introduce a new musical, the fourth in a hilarious series of mishaps by recurrent, endearing characters that audiences have grown to love.

Based on the books “Growing Up Lutheran,” and “Those Lutheran Ladies,” the latest musical, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our Basement,” is part of the “Church Basement Ladies” series, which follows the lives of several unique women who cook dinner for special events in the basement of their rural church. Eddie Curry, artistic director, casting director and actor for Beef & Boards, explained that this musical series is so popular because audiences can relate to the characters that remind them of church members they already know.

“Especially the older folks who went to rural churches,” Curry said. “They gathered in the church for potluck dinners and whatnot.”

Curry, who plays Pastor Gunderson in the series, said that characters like Mavis, a church lady whose husband loses yet another finger from a farming accident, keep attendees coming back for the next sequel in the series because they want to know what happens next for the character.

“A Mighty Fortress Is Our Basement” is a reminiscent tale about memories from the church, as the property is about to be sold.

“A lot of the fourth (series) is about the same characters remembering church activities throughout the year. People are coming back to the church for a final service,” Curry said.

Another warm musical being shown for the first time at Beef & Boards next year has actually been a family favorite for generations. “Mary Poppins,” the story of a delightful nanny with a lot of wisdom and a little magic who teaches a family how to value one another again.

The musical is part of the featured family show for the 2014 Season, which means the show has a special $10 discount for tickets for youth ages 3-15, according to Patricia Rettig, director of marketing and media relations. “The discount makes it easier to enjoy an outing together as a family,” she said.

Other beloved musicals returning to Beef & Boards include “Oklahoma!” the first collaboration of Rodgers & Hammerstein.

“You don’t get any more of an all-American musical than Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! It has been the foundation for Beef & Boards’ continued success, as it was the first show presented by our owner, Doug Stark,

THIS WEEK Always Patsy Cline – The Actors Theatre of Indiana will present this true tale of friendship is told through the letters CARMEL of Louise Segar, a devoted fan who befriended Patsy Cline at a Texas honky-tonk, on Thursday through Sunday from Sept. 13 through 29 at The Center for the Performing Arts.

when he first purchased the theatre with his business partner in 1980. It established the Broadway musical format which we still have today,” Rettig said.

Those musicals celebrating anniversaries from their very first debut on stage include, “Lend Me A Tenor” and “Cats” at 25 years, “Fiddler on the Roof” with 50 years under its belt, and one of the longest-running shows, “Anything Goes,” which premiered 80 years ago.

“Beef & Boards is one of only seven professional, Equity, year-round dinner theatres in the country, and it’s still going strong after 40 years,” Rettig said. “That’s a testament to the support this area provides to the performing arts. We are grateful for that support, and hope to continue to entertain for many years to come.”

Currently playing at Beef & Boards is “Father of the Bride,” which many will recognize from the Spencer Tracy and Steve Martin films. It runs through Sept. 29. Visit www.beefandboards.com/fatherofthebride/ for a calendar and show times.

Birds of a feather flock together Commentary by Joe Drozda with Bob Bley It’s often said that birds of a feather flock together. This statement, credited to William Turner, a 16th century English naturalist, has become more than a mere observation. If redefined for tailgaters, means that people are more comfortable tailgating with others of similar socio-economic characteristics. Just look at a typical college stadium parking lot before a football game and you’ll see the natural groupings of tailgaters. Students will be obvious in certain areas, the alumni who donate to the school in other areas and the general public, who also appear to seek out friends to park besides.

All will work well for tailgaters if Turner’s proverb is understood and its wisdom followed.

Some tailgaters like to sit together quietly, drink in hand, and converse about what’s happened since they last met. Some gourmands feel the necessity to prepare huge quantities of food to amaze guests, neighbors, and the inevitable onlookers wandering through the festivities. Some people are not happy unless they have huge, ear-pounding, speakers blasting out music that appeals to no one but themselves. The ironic thing is that each group creates its own ambi-

ance and as long as they “flock together, no one ruffles a feather.”

Here’s a great recipe submitted by Purdue University graduate Mary Ellen C. Van Buskirk.

DEVILED EGGS Ingredients: one dozen large eggs, mayonnaise, horseradish mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt/pepper, black olives Preparation: Boil, cool, and peel the eggs. (Be advised that there are different schools of thought on how to hard boil eggs for the perfect deviled egg.) Cut the eggs in half lengthways and remove the yolks to a bowl. Place the whites on a tray and cool. Mash the yolks with a fork, adding mayo, mustard, and Worcestershire till the mixture gets soft like icing. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can add more horseradish, mustard, or Worcestershire sauce to suite your taste. Use a pastry tube to fill the whites with your mixture.

For an accent, you can garnish each egg with a slice of black olive. (Get it? Black and Gold)

Men get varicose veins, too

Commentary by Jeffery Schoonover

As many as 45 percent of all men will experience varicose veins at some point in their lives.

The number one cause of aesthetics varicose veins in both men and women is family history. If your mom or grandmother had varicose veins, you are more likely to have them. Lifestyle factors play a significant role as well. If your job requires you to stand for long periods, such as medical professionals, factory workers, sales or restaurant occupations, you are more likely to get varicose veins. If you travel and spend long hours flying or driving, or if you sit at a desk for several hours at a time, you are at risk as well.

Varicose veins can even be the result of previous leg trauma. Varicose veins can affect men of all ages but the risk increases with age because of the loss of tissue tone and muscle mass, as well as a weakening of the venous walls.

If restless legs keep you awake at night, this could be a sign that you have varicose veins. If you don’t enjoy taking a walk with your wife or playing with the kids or grandkids like you used to because of leg pain, that could be another sign. Generally men have the same symptoms as women: pain, leg heaviness, tiredness, muscle cramps and swelling. But, as men, we are less likely to seek medical treatment. It is important that you seek consultation if you are experienc-

ing any of these symptoms.

Like any chronic medical condition, varicose veins will progress without treatment. Because varicose veins are often painful, it is important to treat them in order to maintain an active lifestyle. Treatments such as medical grade compression stockings and changes in work habits can improve your symptoms but will not address the underlying cause. Severe varicose veins can lead to serious complications such as skin breakdown and even blood clots.

The treatments available for men as exactly the same as for women and just as effective. Men can undergo ultrasound guided endovenous laser treatment , or EVLT. This cutting-edge laser procedure involves inserting a small laser fiber through the skin into the varicosed vein. Laser energy is delivered inside the vein, which causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. Once that vein is closed, the blood reroutes to other healthy veins. Some men may need sclerotherapy following EVLT. The good news is that most patients are able to return to work almost immediately following treatment and eventually can resume those activities you have been avoiding.

It’s not vacant, it’s unoccupied Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Jessica W. from Westfield: Labor Day has passed and that means we’re starting to think about closing our lake house for the winter. What kind of Insurance insurance concerns should we be thinking about?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Sorry to hear that news. I’m sure your independent insurance agent would love to come down the next couple of weekends to help you out…

A couple of factors come in play when we talk about unoccupied homes and insurance. Notice I didn’t say vacant homes. Let’s start with the difference between vacant and unoccupied.

Figuring out the difference between a vacant home and an unoccupied home is as easy as walking in the front door. Unoccupied homes might be a little chilly or a little warm, but people are obviously still living there. It will look like someone could have just left or might be home shortly. A vacant home is going to be pretty much empty and it will be obvious that people are not living there. The fridge will be empty, most of the furniture will be gone, etc.

Insurance carriers will not insure an unoccupied home and a vacant home at the same price or coverage levels. A vacant dwelling requires

a special policy and is much more costly than a common homeowner’s policy. Your independent insurance agent can help you find a vacant home policy or elaborate further if you think your home might be vacant.

Each insurance carrier is different, but you can start to lose coverage’s if your home is unoccupied for a certain period of time. The big two that usually drop off would be coverage for vandalism and coverage for losses caused by a plumbing failure like freezing pipes. These claims can each be costly, so it is very important to know and understand your policy provisions.

Dropping by in January to find a ruined house can be made a lot worse by finding out your insurance carrier is denying all or major parts of your claim.

The important takeaway here is to make sure you understand your insurance policy before you lock the doors and winterize the boat. Your independent insurance agent will be glad to go over it with you and clear up any confusion you may have.

Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to asktheadvisor@shepherdins.com.

Shop ‘til you drop – Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville will offer an even greater selection to shoppers as the outdoor mall is expanding. Seven stores and restaurants have signed leases and these additions include Crazy 8, Cookie Cutters, Neel Thredz Spa, Panda(ology), Tucanos Brazilian Grill, Vom Fass and Yat’s Cajun Creole. “Hamilton Town Center is continuing to grow and serve the needs of our community and surrounding areas,” said Ed Huebner, director of mall marketing and business development. “We are excited to offer our shoppers even more selections to make their shopping experience the best it can be.” Construction has begun in the parking lot in front of Paradise Bakery & Café and the future Tucanos Brazilian Grill, which will add an additional 80 parking spots closest to Campus Parkway. This project will be completed in early October.

When Americans hear about the death and destruction in Syria, most probably don’t worry about the possible impact on Christian historical sites. They should. The city of travel Damascus includes preserved locations dating from the earliest days of Christianity.

According the Book of Acts, Paul was on his way to Damascus to round up followers of Jesus when he was blinded and fell from his horse.

Paul was led to a house on Straight Street in Damascus, where he was baptized by a follower of Jesus named Ananias. His vision was immediately restored, enabling Paul to make the missionary journeys that eventually spread Christianity throughout the Roman Empire.

Damascus is the capital of modern Syria, with a population of nearly two million. Straight Street today is a major commercial avenue, its beginning marked by an ancient gate. A large statue along Straight Street memorializes Paul’s fall from his horse and an underground chapel along Straight Street is believed to be the house, originally at street level, where Paul was baptized.

Along the chapel’s wall are pictures telling Paul’s story, one showing him being lifted in a basket

through the city wall to evade people trying to kill him. A well-preserved wall along Straight Street is said to be where that event occurred.

The Great Mosque of Damascus honors the Christian history of the city. The tallest of its three minarets is officially called the “Jesus Minaret” and the mosque itself contains a shrine holding what is claimed to be the severed head of John the Baptist.

The areas near Straight Street are inhabited by large numbers of Christians. A sign on the historic gate opening onto Straight Street reveals an important Greek Orthodox Church just inside.

Many Syrian Christians support the current Syrian regime because they fear the opposition could eliminate the religious freedom they enjoy in what is officially a secularist country.

Now is not the time to go to Damascus, but we can all hope that when the fighting is over its connection to Christian history and the religious freedom of its citizens will have been preserved.

Free yourself from ‘for free’

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

The second reason: “For,” as a preposition, begs to start a prepositional phrase. To complete that goal, it needs a noun or pronoun to act as its object. But “free,” being an adverb in the sentence above, cannot fill that role. “Free” modifies “like,” leaving “for” dangling off the end of the sentence with no object and no purpose.

There is a redundancy here too. The prepositional phrase that “for” tries to start would act as an adverb modifying “like.”

For example, you might say, “I would like waffle fries for nothing.” But you would not say, “I would like waffle fries free for nothing,” which is what, if completed, the phrase “for” would say.

The message to take away here is that “for free” is, at best, a redundancy, and at worst a purposeless, dangling preposition – and nobody wants those hanging around when you have free waffle fries to enjoy.

Question: “Are you brave enough to tackle ‘for free?’ Obviously it should be either ‘free,’ ‘free of charge’ or even ‘no charge.’ Teeth-on-edge-setting.” (Nancy Blackwell) grammar guy Answer: We better take care of this one fast.

Chronic teeth-grinding is a good way to wind up with a root canal appointment or hearing loss.

(If, like me, you were unaware that teeth grinding can cause hearing loss, I’m glad we could share this learning moment.)

The question: Is saying “for free,” as in, “I’d like some waffle fries, for free,” grammatically correct?

The answer: No, I’m afraid not. There are two very good reasons for this. The first: “For” and “free” are considered shortenings of the expressions “in exchange for” and “free of charge,” respectively. There are plenty of articles on the Internet discussing the issue here – namely that “in exchange for free of charge” doesn’t make much sense. I’ll leave it at this: “Free” means, by definition, “for nothing,” so BFTH_current_quarter_pg_ad_Layout 1 9/3/13 5:48 PM Page 1 to say “for for nothing” is entirely redundant.

“Free” means, by definition, “for nothing,” so to say “for for nothing” is entirely redundant.

Adoption advice for rescuing your own ‘man’s best friend’

Commentary by John Mikesell

You may have noticed that the Humane Society of Hamilton County is overflowing with dogs and cats. They need help and you may very well need a pet. I think it is very important to check with rescues, for breed specific, and the Humane Society for other dogs or cats. Sometimes they even have birds.

Here’s how to make your new dog’s adoption work for life.

Adopting a new dog is exciting, wonderful, and a happy time. But brining a new dog home is also an uncertain time. What will your dog be like? Will he be a good match for your family? Will he be everything you hoped for?

Bringing a new dog into the home can also, quite frankly, be a rather shocking time for you and your family. Suddenly your life will be compounded by the energy and needs of the new family member. Every one will go through an

adjustment – dogs and people alike. What can you do to ensure that you and your new dog will settle into a long happy life together?

EXPECTIONS COUNT Have realistic expectations and be prepared.

I have had extremely good luck with my two rescues. Both Isabelle and Karma have been well behaved, house broken and lead trained.

Some has been just pure luck. Both of the dogs stay away from treats in the store with just a simple reminder. I was not sure what to expect with Karma. I had Isabelle for four years before we opened the store, so I was somewhat sure of how she would react to being in this environment. Karma was another story. She was very timid at first, but now she has really come out of her shell. I hope I was prepared for any issues. If a dog is going to be returned following an adoption, it is often in the first three weeks- usually because behavior issues come up that people aren’t prepared for and don’t know how to deal

with. Having realistic expectations can help you get through the adjustment period- with the least stress and the most success.

What will the adjustment period be like? How long will it last? The answer these questions are simply: It depends on the dog, on you, and on your environment.

Every dog is different. I like to tell people that it takes time to pick the right dog. Don’t make snap decisions. Rescue dogs come from all kinds of situations, so one never knows for sure how they will react. The Sheltie rescue that I volunteer for makes a home visit before we adopt a dog. We have a list of questions we ask prospective owners. We just want to make sure the dog will not go from one bad home to another, our foster care givers can check the dogs out before hand to see if the dogs are good with children and any other problems before we release the dog.

Some of the more obvious things to watch for are: pacing and other overactive behavior;

attaching to one person in the family, but being very shy of others; mouthing people, jumping up on them, barking and chewing; and trying to escape or hiding.

What You Can Do Take your time. Don’t be in a rush to get a dog; wait for just the right one Then, don’t overeagerly drag your new dog all over town and to the dog park. Let him settle in at your home for a few weeks, so you get to know each other. I made a mistake with Karma in this respect; I should have let her get used to me before I brought her into the store.

If possible, maintain a low level of stress and activity in your home for the first few weeks.

BEAUTY BY NUTRITION Preparing your snacks ahead of time is one of the best ways to prevent unwanted weight gain. Our on-staff Registered Dietician has given us her tried and true combos to help keep you full and keep you away from the chips and candy. Planning ahead will keep you from going overboard between meals!

Grapes & Grahams: Take one graham cracker and split it into two squares. Spread each square with a light layer of cream cheese. Then sprinkle eight halved grapes over the top. It may sound strange, but it’s so delicious!

Pear/Apple & String Cheese: To curb your sugar cravings, have a piece of fruit with a side of cheesy protein. Cheese is packed with calcium, calcium can help adjust your body’s fat-burning machinery.

Greek Yogurt: Have a cup of Greek yogurt. If it’s plain, drizzle a little agave nectar over it and top it off with a few berries or slivered almonds. Greek yogurt is packed with protein, which will keep you feeling full. Plus it has a lot of calcium too!

Hummus & Veggies: The hummus is made from chickpeas, which is rich in protein and fiber. It’s low fat and filling!

READY YOUR FALL WARDOBE IN 7 EASY STEPS Pretty soon we'll be trading our iced coffees for a warm pumpkin spice latte; likewise, we will be making adjustments in our closets, trading sundresses for cozier fare. Because the change of seasons is a much more subtle transition (not like flipping a switch), we're creating a few of our favorite ways to ready for the weather with ease - the pieces you'll need right now to transform your summery staples for the Fall season ahead.

• Start simple - a cardigan may just be the best lightweight layer to begin the transition. Invest in soft cashmere versions and longer-length varieties that will wear just as well over your favorite Summer dresses now, as they will with skinny pants and denim later on in the season.

• Your footwear is the easiest way to hint at the change of seasons.

Start swapping your sandals and wedges for loafers and ankle boots that feel inherently like Fall. You don't have to commit to a head-to-toe Fall style, but changing your favorite gladiator sandals for a pair of loafers with your jeans shows you're on top of the seasonal shift.

IT’S A MATCH For the Fall transition, we're excited to slip on a pair of matchstick pants to pair with your fresh crop of sweaters, silky boyfriend tops, and blazers. Cut close to the body and cropped right at the ankle, matchstick pants are universally flattering and add a slightly more formal touch to your everyday look. Designers are showing a wide array of saturated colors and textured fabrics that's sure to add an unexpected element of sleek splendor to any Fall look. Style them with suede ankle boots or a pair of pointed-toe pumps for a decidedly retro cool tilt on Fall dressing.

• While Summer is the season for breezy cotton, Fall is all about rich, luxe textures. Start introducing corduroy, leather and faux fur detailing when the chill really sets in.

• A transition to Fall means adding to your jacket wardrobe. A denim jacket is perfect for everyday to throw over a printed dress, skirt, or tee; later, it will be a staple in your Fall wardrobe, alongside sophisticated skinnies and a snug sweater.

• For work: style up your shift dress with a blazer and finish with pumps.

• Embrace the shift with a darker palette. Adding jewel tones and deep browns, blacks, and grays to temper bold print and bright color can take even your most summery printed skirts and dresses into Autumn.

• Do an accessory swap. Trade in raffia, woven, and lighter-weight satchels for leather and suede satchels or handbags with heavier hardware.

Even toting a Fall-feeling purse can give your look a seasonally minded makeover in a snap.

Create your moment: a chance at green Commentary by Randy Sorrell

“Creating moments” is the new buzz in the green industry as the satisfaction of outdoor living outdoors gains momentum.

Inspired families are learning to spend more time laughing/ dining/talking around the delicious patio than tethered to the television.

These abbreviated moments are loosely defined and evoke all sorts of imagery of solitude and romance.

Something most of us could use more of. Perhaps it’s a cache of heirloom perennials blasting color and fragrance on a forgotten path, or carved in the edge of an original travertine patio. It could be an iron bench overlooking a hedge of double knock out roses or tastefully placed under a maturing dogwood canopy.

Larger moments happen when spaces are arranged with an end product in mind…”I want all the kids to hang out at our place after the musical or football game around the boulder fire pit”. Or… “Our generous patio needs to flow well for the neighbors to gather around our grill counter, smoke cigars and drink a bottle of wine”.

CONVERSATIONS. EMOTION. Those are the conversations needed to create the spaces that make these sought after moments happen.

Without that, the space may look great, but feel benign.

There are several relevant strategies to intentionally draw out the emotion of a gravel path, covered porch or patio space. Authentic materials and a forward design leads the cause, followed by coordinated color and texture. Quality furniture with dramatic cushions and a textured elegant rug can elevate any space and prompt a sterile concrete slab into a provocative living area.

The pictured decomposed granite landing on the side of a historic carriage house is edged with Indiana limestone and protected with a historic iron fence and generous limestone columns. A moment is created.

What sort of moments do you hope for?

Properly lighting your master bathroom

Commentary by David Decker

Since it is one of the keystones of any home, chances are that you use your master bedroom space as more than just a place indoors to sleep at night. Functional, beautiful lighting can’t be created from a single light source. You’ll want different types of lighting that correspond with the different activities you do most. To achieve the best lighting design for your master bedroom, consider using layers to light the space. Layering lighting works by blending together multiple light sources to create a rich and ambient atmosphere. Let’s take a look at the specifics of this method and discover how layering can be implemented successfully in your bedroom.

The bottom layer of our lighting pyramid is called the “overall” layer orDavid “ambient” layer.

This is the foundation of the room’s lighting design. Chandeliers, ceiling fixtures and wall sconces fall into this category, and are intended to create soft illumination for everyday use. The ambient layer will determine the general brightness of the room. You may want to try installing dimmer switches or wiring different lights to turn on via different switches. That way, you can adjust the brightness of the ambiance level up or down based on the activity you are engaged in.

The next layer of lighting is the “task” lighting.

This bright layer illuminates specific areas or surfaces to help with activities like reading, work-

ing on the computer or applying makeup at the vanity. And because task lighting is more direct, using more of these lights instead of ambient lighting can help you save on energy bills.

Accent lighting refers to the top layer of our lighting system. This lighting helps enhance the room and create visual interest. You can use accent lighting to illuminate art or architectural elements. Accent lights usually are adjustable so they can be used to produce a variety of styles for the room. This layer doesn’t necessarily add functional light to the room; it’s mainly there to

complete the look of the room. Make sure these lights are on the dim side so they don’t overpower the rest of your décor.

Here’s a quick checklist provided by the American Lighting Association to help you determine whether you have an adequate lighting scheme for your master bedroom. You will want to be able to say yes to each of these questions.

1. Can I see well enough to get dressed?

2. Is there a light in the closet?

3. Are there individual reading lights on each side of the bed?

4. Is there an overhead light source?

5. Do I have enough light to determine the colors of clothing in my drawers?

6. Do I have a light source near the door?

7. Have I installed outlets in convenient locations while building/renovating my bedroom?

8. Can I fill dark corners with portable lighting sources?

9. Do I have a dimmer installed on the overhead light source?

10. Are there lights at the dressing table to help with makeup?
