Colts partner with Grand Park to train for 10 years

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Beginning in 2018, the Indianapolis Colts will conduct training camp at Grand Park after agreeing to a 10-year partsports nership. The Colts and the City of Westfield announced the agreement Sept. 6 at the Grand Park Events Center.

“This is a huge day for the City of Westfield and Grand Park. It’s something we’ve been working on for quite some time,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “For the next 10 years, the Indianapolis Colts will hold their preseason camp here on the campus of Grand Park. We are absolutely thrilled.”

For the first year, the Colts will pay a user fee of $123,000 to the city, according to communications director Erin Murphy, and $53,000 for each year after. Grand Park will receive all profits from parking and concessions. Throughout training camp, which lasts approximately 25 days, Colts players will stay at the Cambria Suites in Westfield.

The hotel is on 186th Street, directly across from Grand Park.

“When we first envisioned Grand Park, it was for a couple purposes – to further the economic development for Westfield in our chosen industry of hospitality,” Cook said.

“It was designed for the American family.

Young kids and adults learn to be coached, they learn the virtues of life on how to win and how to lose. This venture with the Colts we feel will absolutely support our vision of Grand Park.”

Indianapolis Colts General Manager Chris Ballard noted the benefit to fans during a press conference.

“Ten years together is going to be a great experience for both us and the fans,” Ballard said. “We understand how important it is we connect with our fans. I think it’s critical for our fans to be able to touch our players. The fans will be able to see and touch our players in ways fans can’t in other cities.”

Ballard called Grand Park a “world-class facility,” adding it is one of the best he’s

seen.

Colts vice chair/owner Carlie Irsay, daughter of owner Jim Irsay, also spoke at the press conference.

“I want to thank the City of Westfield for having a big vision and taking a big risk,” Irsay said. “We should be really proud to have something so awe-inspiring. This is important from an operational standpoint, but our marketing peoples’ minds are going wild with what new activations they can do here in a family friendly way.”

The Colts will use fields 9, 10 and 31 as well as the Grand Park Events Center for training. Colts City will be an enhanced fan experience in Lot G.

Spartz to replace Kenley

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Victoria Spartz took it to the limit.

On the sixth and final ballot Sept. 6 by Republican precinct compolitics mittee members, Spartz earned the nod out of a field of seven candidates to replace District 20 State Sen. Luke Kenley for the remainder of the final three years of his term. Spartz, a Noblesville resident, topped Megan Wiles 54-39 on the final ballot at Ivy Tech Community College’s Noblesville campus.

Kenley, who will retire Sept. 30 after 25 years, had supported Wiles, the Noblesville Common Council president. District 20 covers Hamilton County.

Spartz is the chief financial officer for Office of the Indiana Attorney General’s office and is on the 5th Congressional District Republican Central Committee.

Spartz, 38, came to the U.S. from the Ukraine 17 years ago. She previously was vice-chair of the Hamilton County Republican Party. “First of all, when you work with people and you develop relationships, but also you deliver results,� Spartz said. “That’s some-

thing people see that you work hard and help with delivering ideas. People appreciate when you fight with them.�

Spartz said it was a very positive campaign. “I’m really proud of all the other candidates,� Spartz said. “It was all about what can you bring to the table. When you are running for office, you have to be working with a team. Ultimately, our voters expect results.�

Event targets domestic violence

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com It may not be easy to talk about, but many community leaders believe a discussion about doHCLA mestic violence is one that needs to be had.

That’s why the Domestic Violence Network, Prevail and the Hamilton County Leadership Academy are Ferguson partnering to host Community Conversation: What Does Domestic Violence Look Like in Affluent Communities? The free event is from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Sept. 19 at the Hamilton East Public Library, 1 Library Plaza in Noblesville.

Guests will hear perspectives from law enforcement, prosecutors, victim services and a survivor of domestic violence.

“We hope to provide attendees with takeaways that will help them to support survivors and work toward a community that does not tolerate domestic violence,” said Susan Ferguson, executive director of Prevail.

Many people associate domestic violence

with poverty, but it’s an issue that affects everyone, Ferguson said.

“This event provides an opportunity to look a little deeper into how affluence may intersect with domestic violence, in contrast to what many may stereotypically think of, the intersection of poverty and domestic violence,” she said. “We know that domestic violence crosses all economic barriers. We look forward to discussing Sweeney things like resources that may or may not be available, stigma that may exist, and how traditional services may or may not meet the needs of those seeking help.”

Mary-Margaret Sweeney, director of community engagement at Indianapolis-based Domestic Violence Network, said that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men experience domestic violence. Even if victims haven’t spoken out, it’s likely that most people know someone who’s been affected, she said.

Westfield man first in state to try to complete 60 0 -plus mile run

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com If all goes as planned, on Sept. 13 Jeremy Miller will have completed two-thirds of a Triple Crown, which totals 645.8 miles of running. For cover story ultra-running, participants have 100 hours to complete runs. Miller will attempt to complete three of these runs.

Miller’s first race was Aug. 11-15, when he ran 205 miles during the Bigfoot 200 Endurance Run in Washington. He’s now competing in the Tahoe 200 Endurance Run, which also is 205 miles. It starts and ends in Homewood, Calif.

Miller’s last run in the Triple Crown is the Moab 200 Endurance Run, which begins and ends in Moab, Utah. It is 235 miles.

If he completes each event, Miller said he will be the first Indiana resident to attempt and complete a Triple Crown.

“A lot can happen in 200 miles,” said Miller, a 47-yearold Westfield resident. “It is a long process. You almost experience your lifetime in one day. You go through every emotion you can think of – the ups and downs, periods where you’re like, ‘Should I be here?’ and ‘What was I thinking?’ So turning that into a 100-hour event compounds that immensely, and now you’ve got to work on having sleep, fuel has to be there, your feet get messed up.”

Miller said during his first leg of the Triple Crown, he averaged approximately 1-1/2 hours of sleep a day. He finished the race with only two hours left.

Prior to the 200-mile runs, Miller competed in a 100mile run, where he made the cut-off time, and another 100-mile run where he completed the race but missed the cut-off.

“Everything is kind of a blur after awhile,” he said of the races. “It’s interesting. You really have to find out if you really want to complete it or not, because if you don’t really want to there’s many reasons why you could quit.”

Miller’s biggest obstacle prior to each race is training.

He owns multiple companies, so finding time during the week to put in extensive training mileage is difficult.

“The most I did in one week (of training) was 140 miles. Every other week was 50 or 70 miles. I tried to hit the stairs whenever I could because there’s a lot of elevation gain (during the runs), so (you’re) climbing up the trails of the mountains all the time,” Miller said.

“On these runs, they’re called runs, but there’s a lot of hiking involved, and unless you’re an elite runner, then you can run it all. But it’s very tough for somebody who doesn’t do it all the time. There’s a fair amount of hiking

Gold Star inspiration

Shedding no tears

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

She stood at the antique podium, awaiting the assembled audience to finish the requisite applause that welcomed her to speak. She stood, as if humbled by the recognition of the one who’d introduced her.

She stood, a Gold Star Mom, whose only son was killed in action while serving our nation.

“I’m inspired by you,” she said. “I’m honored by you, and honored by the fact that you’re providing education.” She didn’t mention the stunning and unimaginable suffering inure to her loss. Instead she talked of the happiness in knowing that her son was contributing to the schooling of the children of U.S. Marines killed in action.

When asked, Ron Overton, a longtime supporter, likewise deflected his own service (his father a World War II Army veteran, Ron a retired Marine, and two sons on active duty), instead saying, “You hear all the time about sacrifices of time, or money.

But how can it compare to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice? And the sacrifice made by the families of those lost?”

Founded in Indiana by Shirley Slaugh and her late husband, Capt. Larry Slaugh, in 1995, the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation has honored scores of young men and women by supporting the education of their children or those of others killed or wounded in action.

On Sept. 14, the group holds its biggest fundraiser, a golf outing. Reach out to Sean Dixon at mcsf.org/indy or indygolf@mcsf. org or call 317-340-8868 if you can help.

Consider corporate sponsorship. They are already planning 2018.

College update: I have not shed a single, pathetic tear since we dumped our oldest at a non-air conditioned humor dorm to begin his freshman year of college. Except for my embarrassing, periodic weeping during “This is Us” episodes and a slight catch in my throat when Theon had a Shawshank moment in the “GOT” season finale, I have been 100 percent emotion-free this past month. And no, it’s not because I’m a soulless, day-walkin’ ginger. It’s because Doo and I did a pretty good job of raising our son, and it was high-time Geoffrey got the heck out of Dodge, i.e., “Our House.”

Granted, I did text G quite frequently the first few days, but I never actually called.

And admittedly, I do think of him often, but usually in the context of “I wish I had Geoffrey here to drive Maddie to dance” or “His room has never been this clean!” But I haven’t yet succumbed to the memories of him as an adorable baby or a precocious toddler or even as a bratty teen. If anything, G’s absence has given me more time to focus on our remaining three, who are quite busy having memorable moments of their own.

Besides, since he’s been on his own, Geoffrey has successfully weathered a weekend illness, an outdated insurance card, a room violation and a food market that apparently sells only Vegan bread.

He’s attending classes (I think), doing laundry (I hope) and even organizing his own ride home for a family reunion (though he booked the wrong bus company).

Yep, our son is doing fine, and so am I. Just not while watching TV. Peace out.

Marlow teaches investigations Commentary by Anna Skinner For the fourth Westfield Police Dept.

Citizens’ Academy class, participants learned the citizen’s academy inner workings of the criminal investigations division from Det. Greg Marlow. Marlow talked us through the division’s responsibilities, like suspicious deaths, sexual assault, child abuse, robbery, burglary, kidnapping, extortion, murder and more.

The division is led by Capt. John Lowes.

Staff includes Lt. Brodie Houston, Det. Brett Bays, Det. Tony Howard, Criminalist Charles Blackford, Criminalist Alyssa Kautzman and Marlow.

After explaining the division’s workings, Marlow walked the class through two real crimes – a burglary and a murder – both of which happened to the same victim in Westfield.

The case was that of Ethan Holley, 18, who was living in the Hamilton Square Apartments in 2004. Holley and a female friend were in the apartment when it was burglarized by three men.

According to Marlow, Holley was hesitant to provide full information but men-

tioned he did have a debt with the men who burglarized his home.

After locating the suspect’s car, detectives spoke with the suspects and reached out to Holley multiple times. Holley never returned the phone calls.

On Nov. 4, 2004, there was a shooting on Clubhouse Drive. Holley had been shot twice by two different guns and made it to Union Street, where he died. According to a witness, the argument began over 7 grams of cocaine. The suspects fled the scene and crashed at 136th Street and Carey Road in Carmel.

The two men who shot Holley, Noel Shuck and Jeremy Black, were sentenced.

Shuck is serving a 65-year sentence and Black hanged himself in the Hamilton County Jail while awaiting trial in 2006.

Richard Short was sentenced to 40 years for a Class A felony burglary.

Thus far, this was my favorite Citizen’s Academy class. Marlow told us at the beginning he would detail two real cases for us, and throughout the presentation the class realized the two cases were connected, which was a surprise.

This week, the class is touring the Grand Park Events Center and learning of WPD’s role in policing a large venue.

Knee-jerk reaction to pain Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “It really hurts,” I said to my wife as my knee buckled under me.

“Good,” Mary Ellen said. humor That’s not the kind of support you expect from your spouse. It’s bad enough I have virtually no support from my knee, which is why I’m getting a new one next week. Unlike a heart or kidney, you do not get someone else’s knee: It pretty much comes in a box like a pair of shoes from Amazon Prime.

You just have to pray it’s going to fit. And there’s a lousy return policy.

Why my wife’s apparent lack of sympathy? When I have a couple of pain-free days, I question having this operation. This drives Mary Ellen nuts. When we go on vacation, my wife wants to hike all morning and shop all afternoon, and I usually hurt too much to tag along. To end this agony, I’ll need a new knee. To avoid going shopping, I’ll need a new excuse.

I have never spent a night in a hospital in my life, and I’m afraid I will get very antsy and impatient until I get to go home. I’ve stopped going to the Minute Clinic at CVS. It once took them twice as long to treat me

as the name suggests.

Jennifer went over guidelines to follow prior to surgery. I have trouble concentrating, but I remembered her saying no alcohol four hours prior to surgery. I love beer, but that seemed manageable. My wife claimed she said four weeks. Mary Ellen’s a better listener, and that’s why I wanted her with me through the entire orientation.

When I went in for my EKG, the nurse told Mary Ellen she need not accompany me, “unless you’d get a kick out of watching me rip the adhesive pads off your husband’s hairy chest.”

The last stop that day was the hospitalist, the physician who assesses your medications to avoid any complications with the anesthesia. The nurse referred to him as “our very own medicine man,” which made me so nervous my knees started to shake.

That made my bad knee throb—which is why when we left the hospital, Mary Ellen was feeling pretty good about everything.

WESTFIELD’S BEST-KEPT SECRET A custom home community built by:

Just north of 151st Street on Oak Road

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Raise the Monon before lives are lost Editor, After reading your “Safe Crossing” article in the Current (Current in Westfield, Aug. 29 edition), I felt compelled to share several observations I have witnessed on the 161st Street crossing.

Approaching the Monon from the west side, I saw oncoming traffic even closer to the trail. Then out from the north of the trail walked a woman waiving her arms to stop traffic. What appalled me was the fact she never broke her stride. Never stopped or slowed down.

I have had cyclists zoom right across without hesitation as well.

A few weeks ago as I was approaching from the east, a woman in a black sedan crossing from the west side was struck by a cyclist traveling north. Both stopped and I’m grateful both were OK. It’s not just the Monon crossing. Recently, a cyclist traveling south on the Monon

turned westbound onto 161st and began to enter the eastbound traffic (my lane). I was nearly stopped before he turned away and allowed me to pass. The look of arrogance expressed was disturbing. As I observed in my rearview mirror, he crossed behind me to enter the new development on the Monon. Had he just crossed at the intersection he could have entered the development without riding down 161st Street to enter the complex.

The rules, laws and right-of-ways have been explained. I believe we need to stop pretending that all of a sudden people will begin to act responsibly before someone dies. Let’s motion to raise Monon at these busiest crossings before lives are lost and countless others shattered.

Jan’s pizza voted third-best

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Jan’s Village Pizza, 108 S. Union St, Westfield, has won honors at a show featuring some of the best achievement pizza in the nation.

The event, hosted by Performance Presto, reviews 30 pizzas in a bake-off following the costumer appreciation dinner.

“Our Pesto Pizzaz took third-best in the Midwest,” owner Kim Kercheval said. “Our vision is to provide only the freshest and highest quality ingredients for our pizzas and to maintain a great atmosphere for all our crew to grow and excel in life as well as business.”

Westfield High School student Caitlin Fekete created the award-winning pizza.

The pizza has chicken, bacon, tomato, with parmesan and pesto sauce drizzled on top.

Bryan and Kim Kercheval bought Jan’s Pizza less than a year ago after the original owners, Jan and Stephen Miller, retired.

“It was an amazing feeling (to be awarded),” Kim said. “This was a great honor.”

Kim said Jan’s is expanding and adding new amenities.

Art on Main to open

Carmel A NEW ERA FOR THE

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Five women artists have joined forces to create Carmel’s newest art gallery.

The five board members, gallery who serve as co-owners, are Kim Greene, Marie Reamer, Nancy Keating, Deb Slack and Anna Afshar.

All are Carmel residents, except Afshar, who lives in Fishers.

“We’ll have up to 15 artists exhibiting here,” Greene said. “We’re very excited to be part of the Carmel Arts (and Design) District. We knew the district is ready for something different, and we’re excited to bring that.”

The gallery is in the spot at 111 Main St. where ArtSplash Gallery formerly was based. Greene said the owner retired and moved to Florida.

The group has changed the name to Art on Main Gallery & Gifts, and the women worked together to paint and design the space. The gallery, which recently opened, will have a grand opening at 6 p.m. Sept. 16.

“We are going to be offering a lot of classes, and other galleries do not,” Greene said.

Keating said the gallery’s motto is engage, inspire and instruct.

Keating and Reamer are Indiana Artisans, which are Hoosiers recognized for careful attention to detailed knowledge of a craft and an entrepreneurial spirit. Two other Indiana Artisans, Peter Falk and Lynne Medsker, will have their work on display at the gallery.

“Case Design Remodeling (owned by Greene’s husband, Larry) donated by removing a wall. My husband (Russ Barton) is buying us a computer,” Reamer said. “Everybody has all pitched in with time and labor.”

Artist Carol Wagner and her husband, Tim, donated $1,000 to help with the start-up.

Raben returns to ATI

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder Don Farrell has been hoping to get Larry Raben to come home for performance some time.

“The resume and credentials he has and what he has accomplished in the professional world and in the Broadway world is real astounding,” Farrell said. “We’re happy to have him at ATI making his debut as a director with us. I’ve been trying to get him here for awhile but it hasn’t worked out because he’s been so busy. It’s worked out because he still has family and friends in the area.”

Actors Theatre of Indiana will present “La Cage Aux Folles” from Sept. 15 to Oct. 1 at the 200-seat Studio Theater in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The play has mature content and parental guidance is suggested.

The story, based on a play by Jean Poiret and a book by Harvey Fierstein, revolves around a gay couple, Georges and Albin, who run a drag night club in St. Tropez, where Albin is the star performer, Zaza.

Farrell plays the role of Albin.

Early morning fun Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Games for college and professional football used to always start at 1 or 2 p.m. local time. Today, however, some games in the Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones start at 11 a.m., and the Eastern Time zone games often start at noon. So now serious tailgate hosts have to consider preparing a breakfast for their tailgaters. These days, with the craft beer boom, it’s time to think of serving something that really pleases those beer aficionados.

Beer Pancakes Ingredients: 2 cups pancake mix, 2 bottles of beer, buttery spray, one pint of sour cream, butter Preparation: In a large plastic bottle, funnel in 2 cups of mix and then add 1 1/2 bottles of beer. Mix ingredients together with a wooden spoon handle or other rod until smooth. The night before, make one pancake like a crepe by rocking, in a nonstick pan, to keep it thin. Then decide if you need a little more beer. Drink the remainder

of the beer as a reward.

On game day, set up your tailgate with a griddle on your stove or grill. Cook one side until it bubbles, then flip and cook till done.

Plate the cakes with a large serving of butter and a scoop of sour cream. Serve with beer or coffee.

Blueprint for Improvement: Open concept for entertainment Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

Before

Background Info: This 1980s home, in the Queens Manor subdivision in Carmel, was in need of some modernization. The original kitchen and living area were confined and didn’t allow much space to entertain guests.

Before problems: The original kitchen and living spaces were divided by a wall. Bulky built-in shelving crowded the space, making it feel small. Inconsistent flooring and ceiling treatments created a choppy look throughout the lower level. The lighting plan in the kitchen and living areas was insufficient for daily use.

After

The owners’ goal was to update their kitchen and living spaces by creating an open concept. Their new space appears much larger and is great for entertaining guest.

1. The biggest transformation came from removing the wall between the kitchen and living room and replacing it with bar seating for a casual dining area.

2. The next significant change was removing the original built-ins and replacing them with modern cabinetry for more efficient storage.

3. Additional changes included removing the bulkheads in the kitchen and adding a coffered ceiling throughout the lower level of the home, creating a cohesive space.

4. There was a major transformation in light, which was a result of a new lighting plan throughout, in addition to removing the walls that blocked natural light.

Space wars: How many Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt How many spaces should go after a period: one or two? Let’s talk about typewriters. grammar guy A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, people learned to type on manual typewriters. If this describes you, you likely learned to add two spaces after a period. That’s because manual typewriters used monospaced type, in which each character takes up the same amount of horizontal space.

Adding two spaces after a period allowed for better readability.

Most fonts on computers utilize what’s called proportional type. This means skinny letters like “i” and “l” are closer to each other, as opposed to wider letters like “w” and “m”. So, unless you’re a hipster who is using a typewriter in a public place, use one space after the end of a sentence.

Does it matter? Great question. If the argument for double spacing is readability, then in the case of our modern computer fonts, which use proportional spacing, you do not need two spaces. If you use two spaces, you might be giving the impression that technology warped off into hyper-

speed while you missed the ship because you stayed to hear the end of the cantina band’s interstellar set.

Back in high school I chose Courier New (a monospaced font) to type papers in my English class. This took a 3 ½-page paper (on a book I skimmed, at best) in Times New Roman or Arial (which are proportional fonts) and stretched into a 5-pager. I’m sure my English teacher rolled her eyes when she saw all the extra space. However, it did allow her extra room to write things like “next time, try harder” and “disappointing!” in the margins.

If you instinctively tap the space bar twice after the end of a sentence, you have two options: Either employ the find-andreplace feature in your word processing software to replace all instances of two spaces with one space, or train yourself to slice your spaces in half with your glowing laser sword like the galaxy depends on it.

May the space be with you.

Kensington Palace: The Aunt’s Heap Commentary by Don Knebel

OUR PROMISE handshake and quality, honest work.

LIC# CO51300008

Visit our website for special offers and to meet our team.

HowaldHeatingAndAir.com (4328)

Kensington Palace, just west of London’s Hyde Park, is best known to Americans as the home of Princess Diana at travel the time of her death and as the current residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, better known as William and Kate. It also was the hated childhood home of Queen Victoria, who was responsible for the palace’s current separate identity as a museum.

In 1689, joint monarchs William III and Mary II purchased a large home in the Village of Kensington to serve as their residence, believing their existing palace along the River Thames exacerbated William’s asthma. Christopher Wren designed a major expansion of the house, which became Kensington Palace, the residence of English monarchs through George II. The future Queen Victoria, the daughter of the fourth son of George III, was raised in a corner of Kensington Palace, which she considered a prison. Four years before her death, she persuaded Parliament to renovate the staterooms as a museum. The remainder of the palace continued as a home for royal relatives, leading Edward VIII, who abdicat-

ed to Queen Elizabeth’s father, to describe Kensington Palace as the “Aunt Heap.”

A young Prince Philip lived in Kensington Palace before his marriage to Elizabeth. After Prince Charles married Diana, they lived in a Kensington Palace apartment originally designed by George III for his mistress, where Diana remained after their divorce. William and Kate live in Apartment IA, once the home of Princess Margaret and her husband. Kensington Palace is also the official residence of Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of

Gloucester and the Duke and Duchess of Kent. The museum in the former staterooms includes distinct collections, one devoted to the life of Queen Victoria and another to the wardrobes of Queen Elizabeth, Princess Margaret and Princess Diana.
