Once big G finally arises from the ocean and starts laying the smackdown on his equally huge bat-like foes, “Godzilla” is as fun and entertaining a film as we saw all this season.

Westies honor season’s best

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

And the winners are…

Main Street Productions had a successful 14th season at Westfield Playhouse, but two shows stood out above the others – “Art theatre of Murder” and “Diary of Anne Frank.”

The results of the votes from MSP members on their favorite performances were announced at the fifth annual Westies Awards on Sept. 7 at the Westfield Playhouse, 1836 Ind. 32 West.

“The quality of our shows is so improved,” said co-emcee Bobbi Van Howe. “Because of the quality we had everywhere; every single category was very, very close.”

“You are all winners. It’s just that some of you have to make room on your shelf,” said Jan McGill, MSP member.

Many of the individual awards went to “Art of Murder” cast members. Monica Reinking won Best Actress and Syd Loomis received Best Actor for their roles. Jan Jamison took home the Westie for Best Director.

“Syd’s just a wonderful actor. I just really, really enjoy having him. He does a wonderful job,” Jamison said.

Thom Johnson’s reaction was of shock when his name was called for Best Supporting Actor in “Art of Murder.”

“I certainly am surprised. I didn’t expect this,” he said. “You’re (other nominees) all winners and certainly deserving as well.”

While she was in “Art of Murder,” Addison Ahrendts won her Best Supporting Actress for the Brent Wooldridge-directed “Agnes of God.”

• Best actor – Syd Loomis, Art of Murder • Best actress – Monica Reinking, Art of Murder • Best supporting actor – Thom Johnson, Art of Murder • Best supporting actress – Addison Ahrendts, Agnes of God • Best cameo – Marty Essig and Kate Hinman, Mama Won’t Fly • Best set decoration – Doug Davis, Grace and Glorie • Best child actor – Maggie Williams, Diary of Anne Frank • Best ensemble – Diary of Anne Frank • Best director – Jan Jamison, Art of Murder • Best production – Diary of Anne Frank “This show truly was my baby,” she said. “It was the best performance I ever had on stage. I love this theater, it’s my home.

“The Diary of Anne Frank” won Best Production and Best Ensemble and Maggie Williams won Best Child Actor in her role as Anne Frank.

“I’ve never done anything at Westfield before this summer. It was nice to be welcomed by everyone,” Williams said while accepting the award.

Kristen Wilson, who made her directing debut in “The Diary of Anne Frank,” said the show was a labor of love for her and the cast.

“I’m so blessed with this experience. It was just an amazing collaborative effort from everyone,” she said. “We were pleased to bring it to life.”

On Sept. 6, Westfield residents had the chance to meet those responsible for the well-being of the community at the annual Westfield Safety Festival at Village Park Plaza. The event included live demonstrations, vehicles on display, vendors, prizes and numerous fire fighters and police officers. St. Franciscan provided an area for children’s activities and wellness and safety-related topics. “This is a fun opportunity for families to get a better understanding of what we do and how we do things in a non-emergency situation,” said Garry Harling, WFD division chief.

Meet your teacher, Darlene Bell Number of years teaching: 26 years (10 years preschool/16 years elementary) Background/schooling: Mayville High School, N.Y.; bachelor’s in elementary education, Ohio Northern University; and masters in education, Indiana University, Ft. Wayne.

Why did you become a teacher? My seventh-grade teacher made learning engaging for me through many hands-on projects. I changed from a struggling student to an achieving student. This motivated me to become a teacher and pass on to others the love of learning.

What goals do you have for your students? My overall goal is for my kindergarten children to love coming to school and to gain confidence in themselves as they grow socially and academically. I know I have achieved this when I see them smiling as they go to their first-grade classroom!

obituary Robert C. Stevens, 77, of Westfield, died Sept. 8, 2014 at Riverview Health in Noblesville. Born May 16, 1937 in Champaign, Ill., he was the son of Kenneth and Bessie (Gulley) Shepherd. He retired from Performance Feeders in Westfield after 25 years of service. He enjoyed flea markets and a good bargain. He also enjoyed NASCAR and collected sports cards. Survivors include his companion since 1963, Janice E. Stevens; children, Robert E. Stevens, Shari Stevens (Bill) Hall, Gary Stevens, Ron (DeeDee) Stevens and Don (Michelle) Stevens; 11 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. Private funeral services will be held.

Online condolences may be made at www.randallroberts. com.

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? I suggest that my parents make learning fun at home by using a variety of multi-sensory materials. Examples include salt trays, highlighters, scented markers, and play dough. Early bedtimes and limiting video games are a plus too!

What is your favorite movie? “Fiddler on the Roof” and “The Wizard of Oz” are two of my favorite movies.

Who is your favorite musician or band? I really enjoy Carrie Underwood.

What’s something your students might not know about you?

I was on my high school’s first girls swim team. We did not win many meets, but we were the pathway to future high school girls sports.

Chamber honors businesses, volunteers with annual Lantern Awards

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com To celebrate a year of successes, economic growth and community impact, the Westfield Chamber of Commerce is cover story honoring the work of businesses and citizens that make the city a special place to live and work.

This year’s Lantern Awards recipients include:

Business of the Year (Lantern Award) Henke Development Group, LLC Henke Development Group has become synonymous with major construction taking place in Westfield with Grand Park Sports Complex, Grand Park Village and its newest residential and golf-course community, The Club at Chatham Hills.

The family owned business was formed in 2008 by Steve Henke and his daughter, Betsy Garfield, and was later joined by son Brad Henke upon his graduation from Indiana University in 2010.

“For us, we are really excited and proud to be selected,” Garfield said.

“Henke Development Group has had a long-standing history working in and around the Westfield area and has developed a true passion for helping this community grow.”

Henke Development Group is a full service, boutique real estate development, investment and advisory firm. The business recently finished its four-year project of Grand Park and this fall will being construction on Grand Park Village. Garfield said the lake, which is being made, will be the anchor.

“We starting to hear from retail, hotels and restaurants,” Garfield said.

“People are really starting to take notice of Grand Park and Westfield.”

Henke Development Group includes Steve Henke, Betsy Garfield, Brad Henke, Clint Cushman, Doug Fleenor, Emily Bible, Matt Trnian and Karen Fanning. (Submitted photo)

“Henke Development recognizes the unique partnerships that are formed in the private and public sectors, across numerous businesses, between community organizations, individuals, schools, parks and all residents of this great city which form a community that values its past and strives to create a visionary future,” Garfield said.

Dan and Andi Montgomery

Westfield Business Luminary Award

New Westfield Business Spark Award Grand Junction Brewing Co.

Montgomery Aviation, Inc. Operated by Dan and Andi Montgomery, Montgomery Aviation, Inc. is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The business started as the maintenance provider at the former Terry Airport, and became the full-service fixed-base operator at Indianapolis Executive Airport in 2000. It has since added flight schools to the airport.

Since 2000, Montgomery Aviation has expanded its facilities to include, two 36,000-squarefoot hangars, Central Indiana’s only covered ramp, an executive jet center with corporate offices, conference rooms, pilot lounges and flight planning centers.

“Our staff is the reason Montgomery Aviation is doing good. (We) could not do this without them,” Andi said.

Andi said her family has always liked Westfield.

“We want to be a part of a progressive, thoughtful community that understands airports bring economic development and are a gateway to our community,” she stated.

Things have been brewing in downtown Westfield for a while, but it literally began to boil earlier this spring when Grand Junction Brewing Co. opened. Co-owners Jon P. Knight of Westfield and Charlie Wood of Fishers renovated 110 S. Union St. from the former Keltie’s restaurant into the city’s first brewery.

“Things are going very well,” Knight said.

The naming of Grand Junction Brewing is a nod to Westfield’s history and future.

Knight said the railroad-themed name is derived from the city’s connection point of the Monon and Midland railroads and the rich Quaker history of establishing Westfield.

“We’re ecstatic to get the recognition from the chamber. It provides us with validation that the 16 months of planning that went into this has been a success,” Knight said. “We wanted to be at the forefront of the rebirth and revitalization of downtown Westfield.”

Grand Junction Brewing has seven barrels that hold 31 gallons each or 217 gallons combined. Wood said approximately 1,700 pints can be held in one tank. Knight said the pub offers eight beers on taps and after the five foundations that leaves three guest taps which are rotated amongst local breweries. Grand Junction Brewing also offers growlers for takeout.

As the brewery looks to the future, Knight said it will begin distribution to being served in other bars and restaurants in 30 to 60 days. The public also will be able to purchase 5-gallon and 15.5-gallon kegs of Grand Junction Brewing beer.

Community Organization of the Year (Globe Award) Student Impact Student Impact of Westfield will celebrate its 15th anniversary on Sept. 17. The organization was started in 1999 by Dan Ventling, and Danyele Easterhaus became the executive director in June 2011.

“A door-to-door survey was conducted in 1999 to determine what Westfield’s No. 1 need was. Ninety-eight percent of the persons surveyed answered, ‘Something to do for our youth,’” Easterhaus said.

Easterhaus said the organization is not a club, youth group or associated with any church.

“People don’t join or have to come every week. It’s just a place

where a student can come,” she said. “Our motto is safe and consistent. It’s always the same people there and same things going on.”

The independent 501c3 offers programming support after school for students in fifth through 12th grade. Intermediate students meet Wednesdays at the school and older students meet twice a week at 536 N. Union St. Easterhaus said Student Impact provides a pancake breakfast every Wednesday morning for high school students with a time for devotion and discussing social issues. In addition to the after-school programming,

Student Impact has recreational sports leagues for basketball, volleyball and dodgeball.

Easterhaus was in attendance with Jon Hogge, director of programming and sports, and three students in the organization when they were announced as winners.

“In my mind I had thought, ‘It would be really cool to be up for that one day,’” she said. “I just start clapping and looked over at Jon and he looked at me and realized that was us … We worked for years with the city and community. Having this recognition means they’ve seen our kids.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Need a break from mom duties

Tossing icy blanket on ALS challenge

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Water weighs slightly more than eight pounds per gallon. Ice is hard and pointy.

As the ice-bucket challenges in support of ALS continue, an interesting insurance point emerges. Current contributor Karl Ahlrichs of Gregory & Appel Insurance reminds us that liability insurance may not cover the ice-bucket dropee (if that’s the proper term) if there are damages and medical bills as a result of the fundraising stunt. It all started innocently enough, with small buckets and big laughs for a good cause. Millions of dollars have been raised, and the take is well more than any annual ALS campaign before it. Still, the “oneupmanship” took over, and the bucket became larger, colder, and potentially more dangerous.

Front-end loaders, 100-gallon barrels, airplane drops, etc., all were in the mix. Ahlrichs tells us liability insurance is intended to protect you from unknowingly causing harm, and as a willing participant you may be declined coverage by your insurance carrier when a claim is filed against you. There have been multiple hospitalizations and even more “fail videos” that are evidence that the trend of “bigger, colder and more spectacular” may not end as hoped.

Our advice? Participate if you wish, but keep it small, manageable and safe. Or, remember, you always are free to donate to the charity of your choice at any time - with or without ice water. We did it that way. Much drier and far more comfortable that way.

The long and winding road Commentary by Terry Anker Most times, the taxi driver simply ignores his patrons after the short negotiation of place and rate. Too often, once in the car the passenger can expect the driver to take a phone call and shout in some nearly indecipherable foreign tongue, confident in the expectation that the folks in the back seat are both incapable of understanding him and unworthy of his respect.

We endure the rudeness, pay the fare and exit the cab never again to interact with this nameless being in whom we’d just entrusted our lives.

Perhaps we’d glanced at the face on the license and amused ourselves by attempting to match the name with a country of origin. But is the failure to connect an expected, if not desired, part of the transaction? Have taxis, with thick glass and a rear-facing credit card machine, simply become a mobile ATM? Do we approach, run a card, get our desired outcome and still manage to avoid all human interaction?

Yet, is the alternative of an all-too-engaged service provider preferred? Do we hope to learn the family history of the person taking us to the airport? I tend to pick peace and quiet. He has a job to do and it does not include entertaining me. And, I value a moment to collect my thoughts and prepare for the next meeting. But what are we missing if we fail to connect with others who find their ways, by happenstance or intention, into our lives? What can we learn and what does it matter?

If it is impossible to know what lies ahead, then it is equally impossible to prospectively assign value to those we encounter. It is a long and winding road that carries us through life; and it beyond human capacity to determine who might be our guide, or driver, along the way.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK The follies which a man most regrets in life are those which he didn’t commit when he had the opportunity.

– Helen Rowland

Sometimes I just don’t want to be needed.

Maybe it’s this particular week or maybe it’s that I’m still adjusting to the school routine, but I am literally about to shiv humor the next person who asks for breakfast, a back rub, help with homework, or anything that involves me and/ or my superhuman, Jane-of-all-trades capabilities. Sometimes I just don’t want to be a mom!

A large part of this feeling, akin to a juiced lemon that’s not trashed because its rind is a key ingredient in the icing, is the nature of being an educator. Teaching high school math means I’m basically a surrogate parent to 180 of our future leaders. It’s taxing to say the least, especially on tests days when 123 of them realize they have no idea what I’ve been talking about for the last week and they all decide to take advantage of the fact that I am available for help at seven a.m. I’m a good enough actress to proceed with patience, but on the inside, I’m questioning the world’s chance of survival when this lot’s in charge.

(Kidding! You’re all brilliant!)

So after a day of helping everyone else’s teenagers, I then go home to my own four who’ve been left to their own devices for at least an hour or so. My oldest daughter wants me to listen as she talks stream-of-conscience-like about her day and her emotions and the latest drama. My youngest wants help with spelling and laundry and checking her anole (lizard) for signs of life. My oldest just wants me to take him driving so he can practice his questionable round-about skills while listening to his music and then hopefully convince me to buy him Subway. And my middle son sits so quietly while he plays games on his phone that working-mom guilt compels me to invent tasks with which to help him. Argh!

But I don’t really want to do any of these things. I want to go up to my room, close the door, and eat my oatmeal crème pie while vegging out on the latest Drunk History episode. I don’t want to plan dinner or run to the grocery or pick anyone up from [enter your sport here] practice. And I sure as shoot don’t want to play the good wife to my husband, who can often be needier than the kids! “Will you please rub my feet/grab my dry cleaning/watch Top Gear with me?” No! But of course I do. Because that’s what it means to be a spouse, mother, and/or teacher.

We answer the call even when we don’t want to. And on that note, I shall leave you. Someone needs me! Peace out.

Needing another coat Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Fast and friendly emergency care.

My wife and I try as often as possible to engage in snappy repartee, often peppering each other with questions like these: humor Are we better off with stocks or bonds?

Should we take social security now, or wait?

Do we care if this bread is gluten-free?

Actually, those are the kinds of questions my wife might ask me. Here are the most common questions I ask Mary Ellen: Do you know where my coat is?

Did you hang up my coat up last night?

Was I wearing a coat last night?

Nippy temps are around the corner, but this year I plan to face the winter chill without any substantial outerwear whenever possible. It’s not that I’m particularly hardy; I’m simply tired of looking for my coat.

I’m going to explain my problem, but you have to read this carefully, or you’ll be lost - like my coat usually is. I never liked wearing winter coats, especially in the car. I don’t want to be all bundled up and feel like the Pillsbury Dough Boy at the wheel. I get too warm when the car heats up, but I can’t undo my buttons or unzip because of the seat belts. Then when I exit the car, I’m soon in a warm place like a movie theater or Lucas Oil Stadium and have to immediately take off my heavy jacket and stuff it under my seat, which is a great way to add mustard stains and

sticky pieces of popcorn to my apparel.

I think it’s even crazier for my wife to wear a coat. In the winter, she asks me to warm up the car before we leave the house. Then she asks me to drop her off in front of the restaurant. Then she asks me to pick her up at door. We drive home in a heated car and get out in our heated garage. Why does she need a coat? By the way, this doesn’t apply when Mary Ellen walks the dog or goes out to shovel snow. The reason it doesn’t apply is that she doesn’t do those two things.

For many years, this was a typical phone conversation on any given morning: “Hello, I was at your restaurant last night and I may have left my brown winter coat there.

Could you please check to see if you have it?

“Let me see. We have a pair of reading glasses, an iPhone, and two credit cards. Yes, here’s a brown coat. Didn’t you realize you forgot it, once you got outside and it was bitter cold?”

“Have you been talking to my wife? I’ll get the coat tomorrow. I would come by now, but it’s raining.”

“Don’t you have an umbrella? It’s been pouring non-stop all week?”

“I left it at the Lucas Oil Stadium yesterday.”

Why do some people choose St.Vincent Carmel over other ER’s?

Maybe it’s because we not only have average wait times of less than 20 minutes, but we also offer some of the area’s friendliest and most compassionate care. Which explains why we’ve been named an Emergency Center of Excellence—the only one in central Indiana—multiple times.

The next time you experience a health emergency, think fast.

And choose St.Vincent Carmel for care that’s been repeatedly recognized as one of the best in the nation.

Chocolate Trail a delicious night out downtown

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Square retailers and Noblesville Main Street are offering a sweet shopping experience during the second diversions Chocolate Trail event.

The event will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sept. 18. An after-party will be held from 8 to 9 p.m. in Urban Park, the alley next to the visitor’s center.

“All shops will have discounts and sales and chocolate, of course,” said Shannon Loomis, owner of Kiln CreLoomis ations and event chairwoman.

“Everybody is going to have a little sampling.”

Loomis said “The Chocolate Trail” is modeled after the highly successful Diva Night in March.

The event is free and open to the public.

“We were really pleased with it last year and the turnout,” she said.

Loomis said last year’s inaugural Chocolate Trail had a greater cross section of participants than expected.

“To me, the more the merrier,” she said. “I feel like it is a very good opportunity for a date night, family outing or a girls’ night where Diva Night is geared toward groups of women. This is more

Gee’s music fest set for Sept. 20

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Jon E. Gee has been fortunate to work enough to work with several top performers, John Mellencamp, Ted Nugent and music Rare Earth.

To help give back, Gee, who owns Jon E. Gee’s Music Room, runs Jon E. Gee’s Autumn Music Fest, which will be held for the second time on Sept. 20 at the parking lot of his business, 13295 Illinois St., Carmel.

The festival supports Jon E. Gee’s Gift of Music Foundation.

Sondra Gunnell, Jon’s wife and also known as Mrs. Gee, said helping support school music programs, which have faced cutbacks in recent years, is the main focus of the foundation.

“We also support other music charities as well as we give scholarship monies to students of all ages to get music lessons,” Gunnell said.

“Those are the primary things we do with the Gift of Music.”

The Music Fest features 10 groups or acts. All are students or proteges of Gee. “Each one of these acts want to be at the next level and we are basically helping them get there,” Gunnell said. “Three of them have their own CDs that John E. Gee has helped them produce, promote and advise on in some fashion or shape.”

The Music Fest will begin at 2 p.m. and conclude at 10 p.m.

Ten acts will perform at music fest. (Submitted photo)

The four headliners are Aaron Creek, Infamous, J.J. Browning Project and Awake The Wilde.

“Jon E. has shown them all how to perform on the big stage, sharing his expertise,” Gunnell said.

There will be food trucks, arts and crafts vendors and a silent auction. The auction includes signed electric guitars from Mellencamp and Nugent.

“There will be no alcohol, it’s a family friendly event,” Gunnell said. “People can bring lawn chairs and blankets.”

General admission tickets are free but donations are accepted. VIP donation tickets are available on the website, www.jonegeesmusicroom.com

The Ten Commandments of tailgating Tailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley (Here are the last five of the Ten Commandments.)

VI. Thou shall not drink (alcohol) too much Our website (Tailgatershandbook.com) has a section displaying how much you can drink and stay legal to drive. That blood alcohol count below .08 doesn’t always guarantee that you will be a good host or companion when you drink more than you should. Remember, no matter what you have heard, nobody likes a drunk!

VII. Thou shall continually upgrade your gear It’s your duty to search for that item which will improve your tailgate party. This item or items can be anything that will make tailgating easier, faster, safer, warmer, prettier, less expensive etc. Review last year’s tailgating experiences and list the things that weren’t just right.

Chances are that somebody has experienced your same problem and has invented or discovered an improvement.

VIII. Thou shall prepare for emergencies Like a Boy Scout/Girl Scout – be prepared.

There are many tailgate parties where emergencies arise. Have a first aid kit in case somebody gets cut or burned. Other more common emergencies are for dilemmas like no propane with which to cook, or no corkscrew to open the wine, or even no matches to light a fire. It is wise to carry a tackle box that has a bevy of things like duct tape, bungee cords, corkscrew, all-in-one pliers tool with all the attachments of a Swiss Army knife, packets of salt and pepper, a bottle opener, a can opener, and as many other items that you can think up.

IX. Thou shall practice food safety Ecoli and Salmonella are dangerous and should be avoided by practicing good food safety.

Remember to keep hot things hot and cold things cold.

X. Thou shall tailgate after the game (or wait for the traffic to clear) After a game is no time to join the bumperto-bumper traffic for a grueling drive home.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 AT 8PM | AT THE PALLADIUM COCA-COLA WORLD STAGE SERIES

Just a 30 minute to one hour short rest in the tailgate lot will allow even the most congested lots to clear and the highway traffic to resume normal speeds. When you pack up to go into the game, always think about your postage tailgate.

Leave enough chairs and easy-to-serve foods accessible so that they can be easily set up and enjoyed before the trek home. Our surveys have found that the average tailgater in America drives 71 miles one way to the game. So why not kick back, have a snack and visit?

Here’s another warm weather menu item that everyone loves.

BLT Pasta Salad Ingredients: 14 oz. bag Pasta, 5 large tomatoes, finely chopped, 1 large green pepper, finely chopped, 1 lb. bacon (+ some), crumbled (precooked works great), 3/4 cup real or light mayonnaise, 1 t. salt (or to taste) Directions: Cook pasta in gently boiling water for approximately 6 minutes, until tender but firm. Drain and rinse with cold water. For tailgating, make pasta the night before. Toss cooked pasta lightly with olive oil, and store all veggies separately. Add veggies and bacon just before serving to maintain crispness. Serves 6-8.

Ocean Prime: Steaks, seafood and more My Fair Lady: ‘The perfect musical’

By Julie Osborne and Debbie Robertson news@currentinwestfield.com

At Ocean Prime, it begins with its motto, “The answer is ‘Yes’, now what’s your question?” The staff takes the word service seridining ously starting in the kitchen with Executive Chef Shawn O’Brien.

O’Brien believes in leading by example, working side by side with his team, even doing the dirty work and often being the last to leave after a 12-hour shift.

O’Brien’s love for food and cooking began as a child helping his mother and grandmother prepare potluck dishes for church pitch-ins. His future career as an executive chef was nearly hijacked by an accounting degree, however, his desire to prepare food outweighed his desire to prepare balance sheets. Soon after his enrollment at Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, he began working at Mitchell’s Fish Market in Pittsburgh and later in the Cameron Mitchell family of restaurants in Columbus, Phoenix, and Orlando before being named executive chef of Ocean Prime Indianapolis with its opening in June 2012.

Chef’s Tip: “Fresh and from scratch” is what O’Brien believes is key to the best outcome.

There’s no substitute for utilizing the highest quality ingredients which is why, along with everything being made in-house, he insists on farm-fresh products and USDA Prime cuts. “We not only fly our seafood in daily but it’s the ‘top

of the catch’ so it’s the freshest of the day,” O’Brien said.

Chef’s Recommendations: Lobster Bisque served with a sweet corn fritter along with the Ahi Tuna Tartare to start. For the main course, either the Filet Mignon or Alaska Halibut prepared with lobster, gnocchi, spring peas and lemon jus.

“You can cut our tenderloins with a fork. There’s no need for a knife,” O’Brien said. Top it off with 10 Layer Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing and pineapple syrup.

ocean prime 8555 N. River Road, Indianapolis 569-0975 www.oceanprimeindy.com 5 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 4 p.m. to close Sunday.

Average Price: Signature Cocktails range from $8 to $13, Appetizers $11 to $17, Entrees $19 to $49, Desserts $7 to $11.

Actors Theatre of Indiana is gearing up for their upcoming production of My Fair Lady. The show kicks theatre off the ATI’s 10th anniversary season of Broadway In Your Backyard .

Cynthia Collins, Cofounder and Assistant Artistic Director of Actors Theatre of Indiana, plays the role of “Mrs. Pearce” and “Mrs. Eynsford-Hill.”

“It’s possibly, in my opinion, the perfect musical,” Collins said.

My Fair Lady tells the story Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl taking lessons from phoneticist Henry Higgins in order to appear sophisticated. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, My Fair Lady originally premiered in 1956 on Broadway.

Actors Theatre of Indiana is performing the show with a minimal cast of 10 actors, rather than the 30 to 40 typically attributed to large musicals like My Fair Lady. Director Richard J Roberts said this will put the show right into the audience’s lap.

“It’s a very intimate production,” Roberts said.

“It’s the Hamlet of musicals.”

The Sept. 21 performance will feature a Talk-

back immediately following moderated by Indy Star writer Michael Anthony Adams, featuring director, Richard J Roberts, the cast and actress and author Patricia Wilson. Wilson has previously acted in the Tony Award-winning Fiorello!, Take Me Along with Gene Kelly and A League of Their Own. Although Wilson is not involved in the production of My Fair Lady, she will be answering questions about the world of theatre, including her 2009 book “Yesterday’s Mashed Potatoes: The Fabulous Life of a Happy Has-Been.”

Roberts has experience conducting theatre talkbacks for a number of years and enjoys the opportunity to showcase how a production like his comes together.

“Even Broadway shows are starting to do them,” Roberts said. “I think people are curious.

People want to know how things are done. All kinds of shows on TV show how things are made. It’s fascinating. People think the arts are a foreign, distant world. We’re just people doing stuff.”

My Fair Lady runs Sept. 17 through 21 and next week from Sept. 24-28. For more information and tickets, visit actorstheatreofindiana.org or call 843.3800.

Shapiro’s Delicatessen will open a restaurant in The Fashion Mall at Keystone in mid-November. The new location coming soon joins the flagship restaurant in downtown Indianapolis, 808 S. Meridian St., and the Indianapolis International Airport restaurant near gate B15.

“The new restaurant will have a selection of the specialties that Shapiro’s Delicatessen is famous for plus a new menu, Twisted Traditions, which will include several updated sandwiches and dishes that we have developed with our own special twist,” stated Brian Shapiro, president of Max Shapiro, Inc. Shapiro said the location is creating a casual

restaurant to meet a growing demand for fresh food prepared with local ingredients.

“The high level of daytime traffic through the Simon Fashion Mall at Keystone was a big factor in determining where we would open our new restaurant. We anticipate a great demand for catering and delivery given our proximity to the large number of office buildings and businesses,” he stated.

The new Shapiro’s restaurant will be adjacent to Tesla Motors in the Fashion Café.

Shapiro’s Delicatessen first opened its doors in 1905 as a grocery store selling kosher deli meats cooked on-premises before growing into a restaurant and delicatessen in the mid-1930s. For more information, visit www.shapiros.com.

“When I’m retired, I won’t really have to invest anymore.”

Many people see retirement as finance an end instead of a beginning – a finish line for a career. In reality, retirement can be the start of a new and promising phase of life that could last a few decades.

If you stop investing entirely, you can risk losing purchasing power; even moderate inflation can devalue the dollars you’ve saved.

“My taxes will be lower when I retire.”

You may earn less, and that could put you in a lower tax bracket. On the other hand, you may end up waving goodbye to some of the deductions and exemptions you enjoyed while working, and if you did a good job on saving the IRS may require you to take more out of your retirement accounts starting at age 70.5, thus

increasing your taxable income. So while your earned income may decrease, you may end up losing a comparatively larger percentage of it to taxes after you retire.

“I started saving too late, I have no hope of retiring – I’ll have to work until I’m 85.”

If your nest egg is less than six figures, working longer may be the best thing you can do.

You will have X fewer years of retirement to plan for, so you can keep earning a salary, and your savings can compound longer. Don’t lose hope: remember that you can make larger, catch-up contributions to IRAs after 50.

Retirement myths exposed

Each office is independently owned and operated.

five things america buys less Cereal This year, cereal sales are down seven percent, with Kellogg’s cereal sales down 10 percent. One Wall Street Journal report noted this could be because consumers are more apt nowadays to turn to yogurt or fast food in the morning, and they’re less likely to have time to eat breakfast at home at all, not even if it’s a simple bowl of cereal.

Soda The crash of soda. diet soda in particular, has been years in the making, with consumers increasingly turning to energy drinks, flavored water and other beverages instead of the old carbonated caffeine drink of choice. The latest Wall Street report from Coca-Cola showed that the soda giant missed estimates, partly because sales of Diet Coke in North America fell in the “mid-single digits.”

Gum Likely due to heightened competition from mints and candies, chewing gum sales have dipped 11 percent over the past four years, the Associated

Press reported. The editorial board of the News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., for one, weighed in that it is wonderful that gum sales are down in the gutter, sniffing, “Gum-chewing doesn’t do us any favors, making us look like cows chewing our cud.

For humans, that’s not a good look.”

Cupcakes Well, it looks like many of us at least have stopped buying the pricey “gourmet” variety of cupcakes. That’s the conclusion to be drawn with the collapse of Crumbs, the 65-store chain that shut down abruptly in early July. The news was widely interpreted as a sign that the gourmet cupcake trend is officially dead.

Chef Boyardee ConAgra recently issued a warning to Wall Street that its consumer food volume experienced a seven percent decline, and that it faced “continued profit challenges” due to some of its flagging, tired products, in particular, Chef Boyardee, the 86-yearold canned pasta brand.

Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC, a mortgage origination and servicing company, will expand its operations in Central Indiana and jobs create up to 360 new high-wage jobs by 2019. The business will move into the longtime vacant former home of Verizon Wireless, 19845 U.S. 31 North.

The Santa Ana, Calif.-headquartered company, which is a subsidiary of Carrington Holding Co., LLC, will invest $3.17 million to renovate the 77,000 square-foot facility in Westfield. The planned facility, which will be operational by the end of this year, will provide growth opportunities for the company’s origination and servicing departments.

“Indiana’s cost competitive business environment and the strength of the Central Indiana workforce made Westfield an ideal location for Carrington to continue to grow,” John Alkire, executive vice president of Carrington Mortgage, stated. “We look forward to expanding our footprint in Indiana, and contributing to the local economy while extending our services and exceptional home financing products to our clients.”

On Sept. 8, the Westfield City Council took the first steps to creating an economic revitalization area that will eventually lead to a five-year personal property tax abatement on IT equipment for Carrington Mortgage.

“This particular site has sitting vacant for as

long as I can remember. If there was ever a good use for an economic revitalization area, this has to got to be it,” Councilor Steve Hoover said.

The revitalization area is the first of three steps in the process. Mayor Andy Cook said Carrington Mortgage will use one-third of the building. “(Verizon) is all we’ve ever known it as,” Cook said.

Cook said the announcement “speaks a lot of that momentum” the city has garnered recently with Grand Park and other developments.

“Westfield continues to be a great place to live, work and play and expansions like this not only provide economic opportunities for our city, but job opportunities for our citizens. We look forward to the continued growth of Carrington Mortgage Services here in the years to come,” he said.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Carrington Mortgage Services up to $3.65 million in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job-creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.

Carrington Mortgage Services employs more than 1,000 associates across the nation, including more than 180 employees in Indiana. The company is currently hiring customer service representatives, servicing specialists, sales and marketing professionals, and underwriters in Westfield.

Avoid these estate-planning myths Commentary by Joseph Hankins

Estate planning is a powerful tool that enables you to direct exactly how your assets will be handled upon your death or finance disability. A well-crafted estate plan, including a living will and trust will ensure you and your family avoid the difficulties of a court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship, court-administered probate or an unpleasant estate tax surprise.

Unfortunately, many individuals fall victim to these estate planning myths: Myth: I don’t need an estate plan because I’m not wealthy.

Fact: Estate planning is not only for the wealthy. It provides many benefits regardless of your income or assets. A good estate plan includes provisions for caring for a minor or disabled child, ensuring a comfortable standard of living for a surviving spouse, providing for pets or transferring ownership of property or business interests.

Myth: I’m too young to create an estate plan.

Fact: Accidents happen. None of us knows precisely when we will die or if we will become incapacitated. Even if you do not have substantial assets or a family to support, you should have a power of attorney and health care directive. These documents can ensure that you are provided for in the manner that you desire.

Myth: I don’t need a living trust if I have a will.

Fact: A properly drafted trust contains provi-

sions addressing what happens to your property if you become incapacitated. A will only becomes effective upon your death, and outlines who will receive your property when you pass. If you own property, or have more than $100,000 in assets, both a will and a living trust are generally recommended.

Myth: With a living trust, the surviving spouse does not need to take action after a spouse’s death.

Fact: Failure to adhere to the proper legal formalities following a death could result in significant administrative and tax implications.

While a properly drafted and funded living trust will avoid probate, there are still many tasks that have to be performed such as filing documents, sending notices and transferring assets.

Myth: Keeping property out of probate saves money on federal estate taxes.

Fact: Probate and probate avoidance are governed by state law and address how property passes upon your death. In other words, avoiding probate has nothing to do with federal estate taxes, which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. An estate plan can reduce estate taxes, but that is not related to trying to avoid probate.

This is not a sofa bed,

it’s an eye-catching, sleep-inducing, marvel of modern engineering.

Kids need healthy snacks Commentary by Kathleen Connelly If you are like me, you have started spending the weekends at your kid’s sporting events. Our 9-year-old son and 6-year-old nutrition daughter are both playing soccer through S.P.O.R.T.S here in Fishers and opening day was one of the hottest days we have had all summer.

As team parent for my daughter’s 1st grade soccer team I helped organize snacks for our team.

As I did this I started to think about all of the snacks my kids have received after their games.

In past years I have seen doughnuts, cookies, chips, candy and other high sugar snacks given out after games. These types of foods are okay sometimes but refueling our kids after a long game is not the place. Obviously I am all for kids participating in sports but the types of food we feed them before and after are important.

So what is a good nutritional snack prior to that soccer or football game? Give your kids something with carbohydrates 1-2 hours before their sporting event. Try cereals, yogurts, whole wheat crackers or pretzels. If your child needs something mid game, fruit will help rehydrate them as well as give them some much needed energy. For those post-game snacks, aim for something that provides protein along with

carbohydrates to restore their energy supply and get them ready for whatever comes next in their day. Some ideas for good refueling snacks are fruit, cheese sticks, trail mix, or whole wheat crackers with peanut butter. For something different like sweet potato chips or healthier granola bars, try visiting Good Earth at Hamilton Town Center for some healthier options. As a parent of children with food allergies, you want to always check with other team parents to make sure that you are providing something all the kids can eat safely.

One last thing, the best rehydrating drink for kids playing a 60 minute or less sport is water.

Milk or even chocolate milk make a great post game drink too. If it is extremely hot and your child’s game goes longer than 60 minutes then a sports drink like Gatorade can replenish depleted electrolytes. No matter what sport your kids are playing this fall, give them snacks and drinks that will help maintain their energy and keep them going even after that long hot game in the sun is over.

The Grande Arche de la Defense in Paris (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Parisian Arch of Progress Commentary by Don Knebel

Strolling along the wide sidewalks of Avenue Champs-Élysées, visitors to Paris can enjoy the architectural charms of a city travel that seems to have avoided the sterile high rises of other major cities. Paris has not avoided those buildings, but instead has consigned them to a unique area anchored by a precisely located arch.

The Champs-Élysées follows the “Historic Axis” or “Triumphal Way,” an imaginary line passing through the Louvre¸ the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. After World War II, Parisian city planners decided to try to preserve the traditional appearance along the Historic Axis by encouraging new construction in La Défense, a five square mile area several kilometers northwest of the Arc de Triomphe. When the Tour Montparnasse, a 59-story skyscraper now deemed the second ugliest building in the world, was completed in the Left Bank area in 1973, Parisians were so incensed they passed a law requiring that buildings taller than seven stories be limited to La Défense, named for a statue honoring French soldiers.

Restricting tall buildings to La Défense did not solve the problem to the satisfaction of all

Parisians. The incongruous collection of glass and steel buildings could still be seen from atop the Arc de Triomphe. The solution involved building a massive Grand Arche at the center of La Défense, positioned on the Historic Axis and connoting continuity with Parisian history. The Grande Arche was also situated on the imaginary axis that runs through the Eiffel Tower from the infamous Tour Montparnasse. The Grande Arche, which is actually an office building, is 361 feet tall, 348 feet wide and 364 deep and includes an opening said to be large enough to accommodate Notre Dame Cathedral.

La Défense, once home to small restaurants and artists’ studios, has become one of the most important business centers in the world. More than 70 modern buildings, up to 50 stories high, house 1500 corporate headquarters, including those of 15 of the world’s 50 largest companies.

Each year, about eight million tourists come to La Défense. The 60 million other visitors to Paris can pretend it doesn’t exist.

Talking about yourself

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I was recently tasked with giving an impromptu lesson on pronouns, and I thought that you, my dear readers, should grammar guy enjoy the benefits of my grammatical ranting.

The topic of the day: Reflexive pronouns; or, how to talk about yourself.

Myself is a reflexive pronoun. Along with other reflexive pronouns like himself, herself, ourselves and yourself, myself is used to refer back to a previous word in the sentence. In the case of myself, it’s the word I. Reflexive pronouns are most commonly seen in two cases: when the subject and object are the same person or thing (including objects of prepositional phrases), and as intensive pronouns.

How about some examples for the good of the order, then? Consider this: “John and myself went to the movies.” Incorrect! But why? It’s incorrect because the reflexive pronoun has

nothing to refer to. The correct word to use in that sentence would be the subject pronoun I. We can fix this, though. What’s a movie without a snack, am I right? Let’s say that when John and I go to the movies, we buy ourselves some popcorn. Now John and I are the subjects of the sentence, as we should be, but we’re also the indirect objects – the people receiving the action, which, in this case, is the purchase of delicious popcorn.

To wrap it all up, if you think myself might be appropriate, take a look back at the rest of the sentence. Have you already used the word I? Are you talking about or trying to emphasize something you’re doing? If so, myself could be called for. If not, the word you’re probably looking for is me.

Special thanks to:

“The first rule of decoration is that you can break almost all the other rules.” – Billy Baldwin Excuse me Billy but it dedecorating pends which rules you want to break! If you want to take Billy’s advice and eschew decorating rules, make sure you are throwing out the arbitrary ones such as “don’t mix warm color with cool” or “use light colors in small spaces” I say have at it.

Break away! Get wild and crazy!

There is, however, a class of rules that can bend only so far before they snap. These are design principles and they are based more on geometry than on opinion.

When these “rules” are ignored, you will most likely feel that there is something amiss with a space. You might not be able to verbalize just what the problem is, but it is almost certain that a rule has been broken.

The basic design principles are balance, focus, harmony, proportion, and rhythm.

Balance: You are more likely to feel if a room is unbalanced than see it. Balance simply refers to the visual equilibrium of a room that is achieved by how objects are placed according to visual weight.

Shape, color and texture all help to determine their visual weight.

Focus: This refers to the direction the eye travels and remains as it first enters a space. More

than one focal point in a room makes it quite uncomfortable as there is no place for the eye to rest.

Harmony: This is achieved when the elements of a room work together to form a visually pleasing combination. Harmony in interior design is achieved by having a connection. This unity can be defined as a design thread that tells a story from one element to another.

Proportion: Ah, Proportion and his best friend Scale . This is something the real estate agent fails to mention when showing you a home with a two story great room. Technically, proportion refers to how the elements within an object relate to the object as a whole while scale relates to the size of an object compared to the space in which it is located.

Rhythm: The rhythm of a room controls the visual flow around a room. Rhythm allows the eyes to move around from one object to another and creates a harmonious atmosphere in a room A well designed home that incorporates these elements is not unlike the paints that an artist uses in the creation of a breathtaking work of art … each color and brushstroke plays off another color within the guidelines of design principle.

The result is a warm, inviting space for living.

One of those days?

Creating a basement apartment for family member Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BASEMENT: This home is located in the Brittany Chase subdivision in Zionsville. After moving from sunny blueprint for Florida to be closer improvement to family, the mother needed her own space in her daughter’s home. The main goal of the project was to create a living space separate from the rest of the house to give her complete independence and privacy.

KITCHEN & LAUNDRY AREA: The unfinished storage area provided room for a full kitchen & laundry room. The kitchen features two-toned cabinetry, LED under-cabinet lighting, a marble subway tile backsplash, high-end appliances and quartz countertops. Using the condensed space, upper cabinets were eliminated to save space for an art collection and an antique armoire served as a food pantry. The laundry room features cabinets painted Ocean Blue as a reminder of the Florida beaches.

COZY LIVING AREA: “Even though there are many windows, it still felt like a basement. I really wanted the space to feel cozy, not like I’m living in a basement.” To accomplish this, horizontal ceiling beams were installed. A gas fireplace gives the room a warm feel. “Golden White Quartzite” was used for the fireplace stone surround and hearth.

MASTER BATHROOM/BEDROOM DETAILS: A

before & after

RESULT: “Everything came together just as I imagined it. I love the coziness of my new home and the independence I feel even though I am steps away from family.”

top priority with the design of the master bathroom was to ensure the bathroom fixtures were simple and easy-to-clean. “I knew I wanted a tile floor so I selected large 12 inch by 24 inch tiles to minimize the amount of grout to clean.” Complementing the floor tile, simple 3 inch x 6 inch white subway tiles were selected for the shower walls. Chrome fixtures including the plumbing fixtures, shower door and vanity lighting gave the room a cohesive and classic look. Chandeliers were hung in both the bedroom and closet giving the spaces an elegant and timeless flair.
