2014 budget increases $2.6M

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Officials introduced the estimated $30.3 million budget for 2014 at the Westfield City Council meeting on Sept. 9. Chief of Staff government Todd Burtron said the 2013 approved budget is $27,748,115 and the 2014 proposed budget is $30,373,867 – a change of $2,625,752 million.

Burtron said the city is seeing growth with citizens and businesses, but must wait for the economic impact of upcoming projects from the record number of building permits the city has approved this year.

“The growth we see today, the revenue from that is 18 to 24 months away. That creates pressure,” Burtron said.

According to Burtron, here is the budget brass tax: Timetable: The budget was introduced to the Westfield City Council on Sept. 9 and will be up for consideration on Oct. 28. A public hearing on the budget will take place on Oct. 14.

Property tax impacted funds: Property taxes make up 50 percent ($15 million) of the $30.3 million in revenues for 2014.

“We operate with $15 million of property taxes with $3.9 million uncollectable. Its value inside the community we cannot spend because of property tax caps,” Burtron said.

County Option Income Tax is $8.7 million (28 percent) and miscellaneous revenue is $6.6 million (22 percent). Miscellaneous revenues come from food and beverage, building permits, excise taxes, cigarette tax, motor vehicle highway, local road and street and ambulance fees.

The largest portion of the General Fund is public safety, which makes up 64 percent of the fund. The fund is split by the fire department (36 percent) and police department (28 percent). Burtron said expenses are up 25 percent from 2013 for dispatch services.

2014 operational expense assumptions include increases from 2013 with police and fire dispatch services (25 percent), animal control (5 percent), electricity (8 percent) and property and casualty insurance (6 percent).

Personnel expense assumptions include increases with health insurance (12 percent), PERF (3 percent) and worker’s compensation (8 percent).

Burtron said there will be no raises with the exception of promotions and longevity. The city also will not hire any new positions with the exception of two police officers.

“The police department has added no new positions in five years,” Burtron said, adding those new officers would be hired in January.

The advertised tax rate is $0.8424 per $100 of assessed value. Burtron said that the tax rate, like the budget, is advertised high and will be lower.

Genelle’s daughter-in-law Heather is direct, “The tumor was pressing on her spinal cord. I knew things had to happen quickly.”

At Community North, they did. “She wasn’t getting responsive care where she lived so we flew her up here. The next day she was seeing the doctor,” says Heather. The affiliation between Community Hospital North and East and MD Anderson Cancer Network™ is what impressed Genelle and Heather the most.

“When you find out MD Anderson is number one* in the nation it removes any doubt,” says Genelle. Heather adds, “My sense of confidence came from their sense of urgency.” Cancer is proof that there are no dumb questions. So keep asking. And take comfort in knowing that the answers start here.

Kicking off success

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Mayor Andy Cook proclaimed September as Youth Soccer Month in Westfield at the city council meeting on Sept. 9. Cook council recap said soccer sets children on the path to success by helping them make smart, healthy decisions to avoid childhood obesity and other illnesses.

“Youth Soccer Month seeks to encourage the values of physical fitness, sportsmanship, family and friendship,” he said. “The messages of Youth Soccer Month communicate the importance of physical activity, fitness and exercise and their

link to good health.”

Cook presented the proclamation to Don Rawson of Indiana Soccer Association, which is headquartered at Grand Park. Rawson said all state events will be held at the new sports campus starting next year when the facility opens.

“A month from now we will announce some events that will have great economic impact,” Cook said, adding that more and more organizations and officials are looking at Grand Park for regional and national tournaments.

“It’s literally show time here in Westfield. We know people are looking at us and looking at spending a whole lot of money here,” Cook said.

Action: Approval of animal control contract What it means: The city is requesting the amount of $48,896.05 to be paid to the Humane Society of Hamilton County to cover the costs of stray/owner surrendered animals by residents and police officers. Chief of Staff Todd Burtron said it is an increase of $5,015.67 from last year’s request of $43,880.38.

Burtron said the service was historically subsidized by Hamilton County, but two years ago the cost was passed to municipalities. “It would be exponentially higher if we did it on our own,” he said.

What’s next: The amount will be paid in 12 equal monthly installments of $4,075 with payments due by the 15th of each month starting Jan. 15.

Action: Amendment to the Traffic Regulation Ordinance What it means: The following changes are presented in an attempt to provide more consistent speed limits for motorists entering the city’s borders: • Increase the speed limit of 151st Street from Gray to Carey roads from 30 mph to 40 mph • Increase the speed limit of 169th Street from Gray to Carey roads from 30 mph to 40 mph • Decrease the speed limit of 156th Street from Oakridge to Towne roads from 50 mph to 45 mph What’s next: The ordi• Decrease the speed limit of Ditch Road from 146th Street to Ind. 32 from nance amendment will 50 mph to 45 mph be eligible for consid• Decrease the speed limit of Spring Mill Road from 146th Street to Ind. 32 eration on Oct. 14. from 45 mph to 40 mph

Fireside Tales returns Wednesday

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Westfield Washington Public Library and City of Westfield are once again partnering to host the fourth annual Fireside diversion Tales, a free, themed story time program at the Council Circle Fire Pit at Simon Moon Park, 2710 171st St. Fireside Tales will take place at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 18 and Oct. 9 and 30.

“The fire, location and atmosphere, it’s great for families of Westfield. They just need to come out,” Parks Director Melody Jones said.

Fireside Tales is a free family activity, with each night featuring stories, songs, rhymes, an art activity, and of course, s’mores. The library’s Vicki Parker will be reading the tales and beginning each program with an art activity.

“She is great to work with,” Jones said. “The stories are geared to younger children. We lose older children to the playground or hill.”

Fireside Tales themes include: • Sept. 18 – “Three Times Three Tales.” Hear classic children’s tales about famous threes (three pigs, three bears and three Billy goats). These wacky versions will be told using puppets, props and audience participation. Create art about the number three.

• Oct. 9 – “Leaf Me Alone.” Shhh, come hear stories about hibernation and all things autumn. Invent a leaf creature made out of real leaves and flowers you bring from

• Oct. 30 – “Howl-o-ween.” Wear your costumes, if you like, and hear stories that are just a little scary and some that are downright howl-arious. Learn how to tell a jump story, and create a dancing monster.

The fire at the pit will be manned by trained parks department staff during the event. Families are encouraged to attend and do not need to register. For more information, call 804-3183 or visit www.westfield.in.gov.

Utilities are being disconnected now and should be completed by Sept. 20. Jones said the demolition is expected to begin Sept. 23.

“It’s a 30-day contract, but it shouldn’t take that long,” Jones said, adding that the six areas should be demolished, graded, seeded and covered in straw by mid-October. “They’ll be cleared sites with erosion control and hopefully in the spring grass will grow.”

Jones said trees have been tagged to preserve on the sites.

“We’re going to save any trees or garden plantings,” she said.

The area around downtown Westfield will become more open soon. Westfield Parks Director Melody Jones said Congrand junction struction Waste has been hired to demolish six homes that are within the area that will be the future Grand Junction Park. The contract, which is for $44,000, will be funded by park impact fees.

“There is a lot of demolition going on around the city. New things are right around the corner,” Jones said.

On July 1, the Westfield Parks Dept. issued a second Request for Quote for the demolition of six properties in downtown Westfield that are within the area that will be the future Grand Junction Park. Jones said these properties include three on Park Street, two on Mill Street and one on Jersey Street.

“We received five quotes. All were higher than we estimated,” Jones said. “We held a meeting with the city utility supervisors to review both

Shamrock Survey

What is your opinion on Westfield using the balanced calendar?

“I would not be in support of a balanced calendar. For people with fall sports, it would be a really tight schedule. Also, I work during the summer and need to make money.”

Emily Nagdhi, Junior “In some ways I would like it because I wouldn’t lose so much of what I learned over the summer, which would help me to make better grades.”

Sarah Zentz, Sophomore

“I would be in favor of a balanced calendar. By the end of the summer, we got bored and want to go back to school. More breaks during the year would be great.”

Ryan O’Hara, Junior “I think it’s a sensible choice.

Although, a little part of me would miss the long summer break.”

Brianna Susnak, Senior

“I would love a balanced calendar schedule. Our breaks would be more evenly distributed. Days off in the fall would be great.”

Adam Hoffman, 37, came from California l0 years ago to open a restaurant. He started with a food truck in Noblesville and business a few years later opened his barbecue pit restaurant in Westfield on Ind. 32. After seven successful years at 800 E. Main St., Westfield, Hoffman will soon open another location on Main Street in Carmel.

“After researching cities and demographics, the Indiana Midwest area hit the spot,” said Hoffman, a Fishers resident. “I then decided to just drop everything and move.”

Hoffman was a cook in California and the Los Angeles area and also liked to entertain at home.

Some of his friends were Spanish and he learned Spanish cooking and the language, which has been an asset with his business. Being next door to the Main Street Shoppes where visitors and local collectors frequent has helped this energetic cook’s business as it has become “big” and thus the name “Big Hoffa’s Barbeque.”

Hoffman believes his food is comparatively better than other barbecue hot spots such as Kansas City or Memphis. Hoffman said Indiana has been good to him. He attributes certain factors such as ambience, a friendly atmosphere and great food and service.

“I just want people to know that we are a different kind of barbecue restaurant as we take

varied food items and create amazing dishes that customers never had before,” Hoffman said, adding one such item is the “El Segundo” specialty which has gone over “big.”

The barbecue process is a slow one. Hoffman said the smoked pork ribs are slow-smoked for more than 12 hours and the beef brisket is smoked for more than 30 hours.

“You may notice that we like pirates when you visit and that’s because barbecue officially got its start in the Caribbean. And just like the pirates of yesteryear, our barbecue is legendary, thrilling and full of flavor,” Hoffman stated.

In addition to its restaurant menu, Big Hoffa’s offers catering for parties of 10 people to more than 200. Big Hoffa’s is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday. The restaurant is closed Monday. For more information, call 867-0077 or visit www.bighoffas.com.

Bierman ABA Autism Center breaks ground, gives hope

By Anna Skinner • news@currentwestfield.com After six months of only speaking lines from movies, it seemed like autistic toddler Mary Gorman’s language skills were Cover story only deteriorating. Deciding to enroll her daughter in an Applied Behavioral Analysis therapy, Cathy Gorman called behavior analyst and Bierman ABA Autism Center President Courtney Bierman.

The first session was conducted at the Gorman home. Within the first 15 minutes, Bierman already had Mary laughing and saying a brand new word. By playing with the child and flipping her onto the bed, Bierman had taught Mary to say the word “flip.” This breakthrough came after months of the girl only quoting movies.

“I think the word that would best describe how I felt was hopeful,” Gorman said. “Mary learned that one word so quickly that I thought there may be a way to tap into all the words and feelings within her. There was a sense that ABA could really work for her.”

Bierman started providing ABA therapy to children with autism almost 12 years ago when her cousin was diagnosed.

“He was receiving ABA therapy and making a lot of progress from it. I wanted to make a difference and work with kids like that too,” she said.

Bierman currently works out of the Bierman ABA Autism Center at 172 W. Carmel Dr., but Bierman ABA just broke ground for a new center to be built in Westfield.

“We have put a lot of thought into this building and we have employees put in their input and it will be a truly unique building,” Bierman said.

“There won’t be another facility like this in Indiana.

It will be a fun place for the kids and an amazing place for the employees to be at every day.”

What will make the new center unique? Bierman said the building is not arranged in the

traditional and prevalent office and cube concept, but tries to simulate a natural environment through unique and creative design.

“We are also located strategically to serve the Westfield, Noblesville and Carmel communities and are neighbors with an elementary school and a day care, which provides parents added convenience,” she said.

The new center in Westfield is expected to be open by Dec. 10. With more room and neat activities, the kids and employees are each likely to enjoy the facility.

“Looking at the blueprints and everything that Courtney has in mind for the center, I know it’s going to be really cool and great for kids in need of those services,” parent Angie Josephson said. “I recommend this to any parent with a child who has autism.”

ABA therapy is known to be extremely successful for autistic children because of the early intervention and the fun, playful environment where the kids are

Know more – Courtney Bierman, Bierman ABA Autism Center president, explains how techniques and care for autistic children has changed over the years. “Techniques and care have changed a lot. Beginning in the 1940s, mothers were actually blamed for causing autism and the term ‘refrigerator mothers’ came about. The whole idea behind the refrigerator mothers was that their children had autism they were supposedly ‘cold’ to their children and didn’t want to interact, play or cuddle them.

Since then, there have been many interventions to treat autism. However, over the years, treatment has moved away from interventions using a lot of aversives such as using shock therapy on individuals. Increased awareness about autism, the creation of patient rights, ethical standards and a lot of great research has helped bring about evidence-based treatments using reinforcement to help individuals with autism learn.”

taught. The engaging atmosphere doesn’t feel like a therapy session.

“We use different principles. We figure out what motivates the child and find out what the child is interested in and we use that to help them learn. We do it in a way where kids don’t look at it as work, they look at is as fun,” Bierman said.

After three years of attending ABA therapy sessions, Mary has graduated the program and now attends Westfield Washington Schools. Her language skills are phenomenal and most people don’t realize she is autistic when they first meet her. She doesn’t exhibit certain autistic behaviors such as flapping her hands anymore.

Mary still occasionally visits the Bierman ABA Center for socialization with the other children.

After six months of ABA therapy, Gorman was putting her daughter to bed. She told Mary she loved her just like she did every night. However, Mary did something unexpected. She replied with “I love you, too, Mommy.” Gorman says that those words brought tears to her eyes.

“I must tell you though that hearing her say ‘flip’ was nothing compared to the first time she said ‘I love you.’ Those are words that most parents can take for granted,” Gorman said. “ABA gave Mary back to us. She is bright and funny and very loving. We are more thankful than we can say.”

Another child enrolled in ABA, Savannah Josephson, also improved with the therapy. Initially nonverbal, it was very hard for Savannah to communicate with her mother, Angie Josephson.

After attending the therapy for three years at 40 hours per week, Savannah can communicate her wants and feelings with more than 300 signs and her behavior has improved drastically.

“We absolutely love the Bierman ABA Center and would recommend it to anyone and everyone who needs to utilize the services,” Josephson said.

The Autism Center offers ABA, speech and occupational therapies. For more information about ABA therapy or enrolling an autistic child, e-mail Courtney Bierman at courtney@biermanaba.com.

ACA denial It is our position that the state of Indiana should be properly prepared for the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. While the majority of Americans indicate dissatisfaction with the impending law, a repeal of the Affordable Care Act does not look promising. Perhaps the decision by the state not to create its own insurance exchange was an effort toward wishful thinking that an appeal would be granted.

Maybe it was a budget issue or just plain defiance. As the saying goes, denial is more than a river.

It is uncertain if the state of Indiana’s decision to default to federal government management of its health care exchange will be a good one. The dominos are starting to fall as major employers begin the process of dropping coverage for spouses of employees.

Businesses are cutting back the hours of part-time workers to avoid paying penalties for mandated health insurance coverage. The spigot is just starting to leak with no real incentives for employers to continue to offer health care benefits. Hopefully uninsured Hoosiers forced into a health care exchange will be well informed and receive the kind of “Hoosier Hospitality” from the Feds that they were denied in their home state.

Bond, James Bond Commentary by Terry Anker It is one of the most famous names in literature and film. The moniker itself carries with it a panoply of characteristics that belie its relatively few number of letters. Of course, I mean none other than the international man of mystery, James Bond. Or should I say, Bond, James Bond.

In spite of a history that has often been misogynistic, Ian Fleming’s secret agent is just as popular now as he was during the cold war that spawned him. Suave, debonair, and more than a little dangerous, Bond represents the man that many men want to be and the man many women want to be with – at least as the song goes “for a little while.”

What is it about these kinds of figures that appeals to us? It is more than the exotic locations, fast cars and expensive suits. Bond represents a live-on-the-edge kind of lone wolf life that very few, if any, real people chose to live. Instead, we choose stable, almost sedate, homes, families and careers. Even the most pedestrian

of travel, sartorial or domestic statement can stand out as exotic. A filled passport, tailored suit or custom home is far from commonplace.

We cling to sameness, all the while living vicariously through these larger-than-life characters.

The gap between how people imagine that they might live and how they actually choose to spend their time has long been of interest.

Perhaps it is the specific function of fantasy to give us the opportunity to live a life so removed from our own that we experience the thrill of it without any of the consequence. But does it ever make sense to bring our imagined existences to life? Can it ever be wise to invite pretend danger to become real? For now, I’m satisfied with a martini – shaken not stirred.

Are you ready for some … homecoming? We urge you to plan to attend the Oct. 3 festivities that kick off homecoming week at Westfield High School. The “Rock’n into the Future” Parade will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the football field and will end at the east side of the high school. Shamrock Boulevard will be closed at 3:30 p.m. to allow for the parade to pass unimpeded. Take in the club and organization floats, class derby cars, sports teams, cheerleaders, the WHS marching band, dancers, The Rock Boys, hot cars and the 2013 homecoming court.

One of us knew Rick as the ultimate family man, one who also seemingly was a part of all things Westfield and a veteran pharmacist.

He was a Cub and Webelo scout leader; he coached soccer and baseball; and he always volunteered wherever possible. He was proud to tell you he was from Westfield and was quick to lend a hand to anyone in need. The nearly two-hour wait at the calling for him last week was testament to what he meant to so many.

Resolutions a work in progress Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Um, have you looked at your New Year’s resolutions lately? I made the unfortunate mistake of doing so just this morning. Out of five goals for 2013, and with less than four humor months left, I can only draw a faint pencil line through one, maybe two. Let’s assess.

Atop my list was painting our canary-yellow living and family rooms. I’ve wanted them changed since the day we made an offer on this house, more than three years ago, but I’ve done nothing to amend the situation apart from a one-time pulling of a paint-chip strip at Lowe’s in the brownish-beige category. Consequently, I’m calling an audible and will be swapping out “décor re-do” with “learn to shoot a gun.” I just read a very disturbing end-of-the-world novel and feel it’s the least I can do to protect my family when the looters/zombies arrive. Moving on.

Another resolution was to swear less. This one was an epic fail, especially during the summer months. I simply cannot be expected to “keep it clean” with four children crammed into an un-air-conditioned mini-van while dealing with the construction nightmare on U.S. 31 in Westfield. How the freak am I supposed to get to Target gosh darn it?

I also promised to cut back on my soda intake and actually did so during Lent. No wait, eliminating diet Coke only worked because I subbed-in

diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. But I do think I drink a tad less of the fizzy now, thanks in a large part to my new addiction to McDonald’s sweet tea. Super-size that mother!

One thing I can definitely cross off is, “stop being so critical of my oldest daughter.” I am now very aware of what I say about her hair styles and clothing choices, and have done a remarkable job of keeping the judgmental bullcrap bottled up.

As long as she is relatively clean and her booty cheeks aren’t hanging out, I support her unique and interesting fashion statements. You go, girl!

I might also get away with checking off “make new friends.” I did, after all, join a yoga class last spring, and have actually talked a few times to the other dance moms. (Yes, I’m a dance mom.)

But I must admit I would rather curl up with a good book than go out to a party with strangers. Maybe not the aforementioned doomsday hardback, because that just freaked me out, but a nice smut novel fireside always makes for a fine evening.

There is still plenty of time to meet my goals.

I’m not giving up the ghost yet, but I do feel a bit behind schedule. Hopefully you’re faring better with your own resolutions. Peace out.

Brain freeze Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I was thinking about thinking the other day. I didn’t come up with anything profound, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

Mary Ellen often says to me humor after a slip up on my part, “What were you thinking?” Admittedly, I probably wasn’t thinking at all, so I resent the sarcasm. My wife will also direct me, especially if am looking for a lost wallet or car keys to “think hard.” Okay. I will try, but at my age I don’t want to hurt myself.

I must overthink things because when I wrote my book Mornings with Barney, Heidi, my proofreader, did a word search through my final manuscript and found the phrase “I think” about 60 times in 220 pages. “I think Barney knew he was on television” “I … think I had the most fun job in TV” … What was I thinking? “It’s a good thing you have a proofreader,” you might say to me. Ya think?

Yes, I think a lot of people, especially writers, rely on the word “think” because we lack self-assurance, and you just read a very good example of that in this sentence. Meteorologists never say, “I think it is going to rain.” Maybe they should. A little humility goes a long way. My

barber never ever says, “I think this time I’ll give you a good haircut.” Come to think of it, I wish he would say that.

Over the years my wife has made the mistake of asking my advice. “Dick, do you think we need to buy a new dishwasher?” “Let me think about it,” is my standard response. This is a bunch of hooey, of course. I’m not going to think about that. What I am really going to do is totally forget about the question until Mary Ellen asks me again and then I’ll tell her that after careful reflection I am going to leave it up to her. Occasionally, I do say, “I’ll sleep on it,” which never happens because I hardly ever sleep on anything except a full stomach.

Consider this: “If you think this column wasn’t any good, you have another thing coming.”

Thing? Don’t you have another “think” coming?

Who invented that stupid phrase, anyway? Some government think tank, I’m sure.

I think I have written just about enough on this topic. Actually, I am quite sure of it.

Holiday hurry Commentary by Mike Redmond On Sept. 1, at a grocery store in Indianapolis, I made a right turn coming out of the cereal aisle and ran smack into three guys humor hurriedly stocking shelves with Halloween candy.

Let’s review: Date of incident: Sept. 1.

Date of Halloween: Oct. 31.

Time between the two: plenty.

It seems someone is in a hurry.

Not that I have anything against Halloween, or anything against candy. I like them both and the fact that they are inextricably connected … well, that’s just a bonus. But I still think getting the candy out before Labor Day is rushing things a little.

I also think it’s just asking for trouble. It is in my case, anyway. Here’s what I mean: I try to practice the Golden Rule of Halloween candy-giving. That is, I always give away candy that I would want to get, were I parading around in a costume extorting goodies from strangers.

Anyway, the good stuff is my response to the disappointments of kidhood when you would go to someone’s house and wind up with a handful of war-surplus rock candy or a wrinkly apple. Call me a purist, but I don’t think Halloween should be the time when you give away something you found while re-organizing your refrigerator’s produce drawer.

So whoever comes to my house gets little candy bars of the type that I favored as a kid:

Milky Way, primarily, but also Snickers, Three Musketeers, Mounds, Almond Joy, and of course good old Hershey Bars. It wouldn’t be Halloween without bite-size Hershey bars.

OK, yes it would. But I like Hershey bars so they’re staying.

There’s more to the story. There usually is.

Little candy bars, you see, are the great foolers of the confection industry. You see a bowl of fun-size Milky Ways and what you’re really looking at are dietary land mines. “Oh, they’re fun size,” you think. “One or two won’t hurt.” But one or two turns into six or seven or fifteen and before you know it, you’ve had so much fun size fun that you’ve gained three fun size pounds.

And I’m talking in one evening.

Now, to get back to the grocery: Is anyone who buys Halloween candy in early September really going to leave it in the bag, unmolested, until the end of October? Highly doubtful. And so the old fun size conundrum begins and lasts for six weeks, which means by the time Halloween gets here you’ll be a blimp. If you’re me, I mean.

And all because we’re rushing the season.

Halloween candy before Labor Day, indeed. And that’s not the worst of it.

On Aug. 31, I got a Christmas catalog.

Northside Nights Restaurant Week returns

By Nancy Edwards news@currentinwestfield.com

During this year’s annual fall Northside Nights Restaurant Week, foodies have more choices than ever. From gluten-free fries and vegetarian pizzas to filet mignons and DINING scrumptious miniature desserts, even the pickiest eaters will find something to savor from the 40 restaurants participating this fall.

Each restaurant will be offering three-course meals for $30. Some will also include threecourse $20 lunch meals or even serve two people for $25. “(Restaurant Week) is a great way to get foodies out and guests who haven’t been out here before,” said Rokeena Williams, sales manager for Seasons 52, 8650 Keystone Crossing, Indianapolis. Williams said that this event, which is happening now through Sept. 29, allows guests to enjoy a “fine dining feel at a casual price.”

After chowing down on chilled lobster and shrimp spring rolls for an appetizer, followed by an organic field greens salad and cedar roasted salmon and vegetables, guests may feel as though they’re too full to eat one of the awardwinning desserts at Seasons 52. No-guilt, individual-sized desserts at just 300 calories allows guests to satisfy that sweet tooth. The only problem will be trying to decide on the dessert: chocolate peanut butter swirl or a Starbuck’sinspired chocolate caramel macchiato.

Harry and Izzy’s Castleton location, 4050 E. 82nd St., Indianapolis, will also feature menu options of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. Harry and Izzy’s features their world-famous St. Elmo

Harry and Izzy’s features its world-famous St. Elmo shrimp cocktail, among other gluten-free choices including peppercorn steak salad, house smoked pork chops, brick oven baked pizzas and “Colton” fries. The fries are named after Operating Partner Jeff Smith’s son, Colton, who wanted French fries that were gluten-free.

“We’re good about allergies here; our foods are never cross-contaminated,” said Leanna Chroman, training director for Harry and Izzy’s, which is a family-owned restaurant that uses local products.

Guests participating with Restaurant Week may make a donation to Veggie U (www.veggieu.org/), a nonprofit organization that provides

teachers with Classroom Garden Kits and a five-week science curriculum for elementary and special needs classrooms, according to Susan Decker, CEO of Susan Decker Media.

“The restaurants felt it was important to give back to the community,” Decker said. “The funds raised will allow us to donate some of the kits to local schools that we will help choose at the end of the campaign.”

Other participating restaurants include: Chef Mike’s Charcoal Grill, Late Harvest, Cobblestone Grill, Eddie Merlot’s, Capri Restaurant, Stone Creek Dining Zionsville, Bella Vita, Smee’s Place, MacKenzie River Pizza (in Castleton and Carmel), Hall’s Castleton Grill, Stanford’s, 1881 Grille, OAKLEY’s bistro, Sullivan’s Steakhouse, J.

Hamman Prime, Simeri’s and Matt the Miller’s Tavern.

Restaurant Week’s official hotel partner is the Marten House Hotel, 1801 W. 86th St., Indianapolis. The hotel is offering a $71 per night room rate (plus tax) when people use promo code NNGT13.

In addition, the Center for the Performing Arts, 355 City Center Dr., Carmel, will be providing special ticket rates for three shows: Lang Lang on Sept. 19, Craig Morgan, Sept. 2, and Fernando Otero on Sept. 29.

Cooking tip: When cooking meat in the oven first preheat the oven to 500 degrees. When oven in preheat place your meat in for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the size, then drop the oven down to 350 degrees or preferred cooking temperature. Doing this will help sear the outside of the meat locking in juice, flavor and providing a wonderful caramelized color to the meat.

By day, Lockwood helps take care of horses and special needs children at Children’s Theraplay Foundation in Carmel. She also is married with two children attending Depauw.

The multi-talented Lockwood also did costume design for two shows at Civic Theatre this summer.

“Sunset Boulevard” is directed by Rich Baker of Indianapolis, who said that he has watched six different productions of the show over the past several years to help him gain perspective for his own.

“It’s easy to turn Norma into a caricature or camp it up,” Baker said. “I wanted her to be real for the audience; for them to really believe that they are seeing a woman who had it all and lost it all and is now losing her mind as a result much like Doris Day, who was everyone’s darling in her heyday and now won’t be seen in public.

Everyone dreams of fame, but it’s fleeting. So be careful what you wish for.”

“Sunset Boulevard” is a dark, fascinating look at the underbelly of the glamour of 1940s Hollywood. Set to a complex musical theatre score by Andrew Lloyd Webber, it tells the tale of Norma Desmond, an aging silent film star who still clings to the alluring and powerful vision of her younger self.

It is a demanding and intricately-layered portrait of a woman who cannot deal with the reality of the present day. She copes by allowing herself to dwell in the past while slipping deeper into delusion and ultimately, madness.

When the curtain rises on the central Indiana premiere of “Sunset Boulevard” at Footlite Musicals Theatre in Indianapolis, the role, which was originated on Broadway by Patti Lupone and also portrayed by legends such as Betty Buckley, Glenn Close and Elaine Page, will be played by Carmel’s own Laura Lockwood.

Lockwood is a familiar face on the Indianapolis-area theatre scene. A veteran of Civic Theatre’s productions of “A Chorus Line” and “Guys and Dolls,” and Beef and Board’s “Cinderella” and “Camelot,” she was recently nominated for an Encore Award for her portrayal of Alaura in “City of Angels.”

“I am very appreciative of the opportunity to play this complicated and dramatic character,” Lockwood said. “I have mostly played lighter, comedic roles. This has been a tremendous journey.”

• Where: Footlite Musicals Theatre, 1847 N. Alabama St., Indianapolis • When: Sept. 20 through Oct. 6 • Tickets: Weekend tickets are $20; Thursdays are $10 • More info: brownpaperbagtickets.com; 926-6630 • Note: “Sunset Boulevard” is not suitable for young children.

Easing your daughter’s anxiety Commentary by Courtney Browne, MD

Scheduling the first visit with a gynecologist can make many teen girls and younger women feel anxious. Most aren’t prevention sure what to expect, and there is usually apprehension about the physical exam. Moms can be a trusted source of information and a good resource for daughters who are preparing to see a gynecologist.

One common question young women ask is “when should I go for my first exam?” All women should have their first pelvic exam and Pap smear by age 21. Your daughter may need to visit a gynecologist earlier if she is experiencing menstrual problems, such as irregular periods or heavy menstrual bleeding. Your family doctor or pediatrician may recommend consulting a gynecologist for conditions such as pelvic infections, ovarian cysts and breast problems. Parents also seek information and counseling from gynecologists on the HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine, which most doctors recommend for girls between the ages of 11 and 12 – and definitely before a woman becomes sexually active.

When choosing a doctor for your daughter, remember that some girls may feel more com-

dispatches Keep the family healthy at expo – Riverview Hospital is sponsoring the inaugural Health & Wellness Expo, which offers advice and ideas on how the entire family can live healthier and happier lives on Sept. 21 and 22 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. The free event offers information from more than 20 health care providers, eight seminars by medical doctors and specialists, tests and screenings, obstacle course and Radio Disney (10:30 a.m. to noon Sept. 21). Information will be available on aging, foot care, eye care, ear care, orthodontics, dental care, exercise, mental health, meditation, hospice and more. Riverview Hospital will be conducting free screenings for oxygen saturation and Co2, colorectal, glucose, sleep apnea and blood pressure. Screenings that include a nominal charge are flu shots, cardiac risk assessment and baseline EKG. The expo is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 21 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 22.

fortable seeing a gynecologist with experience treating teenagers and younger women. Typically, these doctors more fully understand the fears and anxiety associated with the first office visit and approach the topic in a way that makes adolescents and younger women feel more at ease. It’s not unusual for gynecologists who have experience with younger women to spend several minutes just talking to the patient to help build a foundation of trust. It also can be comforting for girls and young women to know that in some cases, a physical exam may not be necessary depending on the issue. For example, many infections can be diagnosed with a simple urine test.

As most grown women remember, the female body undergoes a great deal of change during adolescence and early adulthood. Your daughter will likely have a lot of questions about her changing body. As a mom, you can help by keeping the lines of communication open and engaging in open and honest conversations when new issues or circumstances arise.

Courtney Browne, MD, specializes in obstetrics and gynecology. She is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Women’s Health, 11725 N. Illinois St., Indianapolis. She can be reached by calling the office at 688-5200.

IU Health Saxony earns ACR accreditation – Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in Breast Ultrasound and Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology. Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of internal body parts to help physicians diagnose and better treat medical conditions. Ultrasound imaging of the breast produces a picture of the internal structures of the breast. “We are proud to receive the ACR Gold Standard of Accreditation. This accreditation by the American College of Radiology provides our patients the assurance that they receive the highest level of image quality with the highest level of safety standards,” Nancy Davison, manager of Imaging Services stated. Achieving this accreditation is very timely with the start of a new Breast Care program that opened in August. With the addition of Patricia Rae Kennedy, MD, FACS, and Linda K. Han, MD, FACS, two breast surgical oncology specialists, to the existing Women’s Imaging services at IU Health Saxony Hospital, women now have convenient access to expert breast care and the assurance of a high quality service.

Dictionary adds ‘bitcoin,’ ‘twerk’ KEITH ALBRECHT Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I have written often about language as a fluid, evolving system. Dictionaries – the guide to the system – are obviously grammar guy compelled to evolve as well.

New words are added yearly, typically in large batches, after a sufficient amount of time and “mainstreaming.” In the 1980s, when cosmetic lipoplasty began to hit the scene (the procedure had been around for a while before that, of course), dictionaries added the word we all know it by: liposuction. In 1990, in what I can only imagine was hailed as a long-overdue recognition of modern life, the word “paperclip” was officially recognized. I wonder what we called it before that?

In August, we got another batch of words added to the Oxford English Dictionary … and I’d be lying if I said some of them didn’t worry me a bit. But, language rolls ever onward I suppose.

In the spirit of progress, here are a few of the more … interesting … words Oxford has chosen to recognize: • Jorts: Denim shorts.

• Emoji: A small, digital image or icon used to express and idea or emotion.

• TL;DR: This is an acronym made popular on Internet forums like Reddit. It stands for “too long; didn’t read.”

The Internet demands brevity, apparently.

• Selfie: A photograph taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam.

You may remember a number of congressmen who’ve seen their careers implode over ill-advised selfies.

• Twerk: Dancing in a sexually provocative manner.

If you saw Miley Cyrus’s VMA performance, that was “twerking” … among other things.

• Bitcoin: A digital, non-centralized currency.

Bitcoins are used as a peer-to-peer currency, and as such don’t require a bank or other institution for transactions.

I’m glad the OED has made a point of recognizing contemporary language usage, no matter how banal some of it may seem. Time will eventually weed out the worthwhile words, and leave the rest by the wayside. At least I keep telling myself that.

Natural wonders define Cappadocia’s heritage Commentary by Don Knebel

Describing the surreal landscape of Cappadocia is probably the only time the words “fairy” and “church” can be used respecttravel fully in the same sentence. In this region in central Turkey, fairy chimneys can become churches, tunnels can become cities and the incomprehensible can become settled theology.

Cappadocia lies north of the Taurus Mountains, where a series of volcanic eruptions produced a plateau made of thick lava layers. Water and wind then eroded the lava, producing thousands of cone-shaped structures called “fairy chimneys,” some more than 120 feet tall and a few balancing hard caps on their improbably pointed peaks.

For millennia, residents of Cappadocia have hollowed out the soft lava of the fairy chimneys to create homes resembling stone tepees, the porosity of the lava providing excellent insulation. After Christianity had come to Cappadocia through the missionary visits of Paul, the interiors of fairy chimneys became churches.

The soft lava of Cappadocia also facilitated the expansion of tunnels into at least 36 full blown underground cities, some extending ten stories below the surface. Originally used by the Hittites almost 4,000 years ago, these cities were occupied by early Christians, perhaps to hide from Roman persecutors.

After Christianity became legal, Cappadocians

Homes have been created from hollowing out the soft lava of the fairy chimneys. (Photo by Don Knebel)

helped resolve a theological controversy. When the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. decreed that God and Jesus were of the same substance [homoousios], many Christians objected, arguing that God and Jesus were obviously different.

Theologians from Cappadocia, trained in Greek philosophy and called the “Cappadocian Fathers,” taught that things having the same substance can also have different expressions [hypostases], pointing to gold coins made from the same ingot but having faces of different persons. This conception of “God in three persons,” ratified by the Council of Constantinople in 381 A.D., ended the argument for many Christians.

Today’s visitors to Cappadocia can sleep in hotels carved inside fairy chimneys, tour underground cities with kitchens still black from cooking smoke and admire brilliantly colored 10th century frescoes in dark churches. And people for whom the Holy Trinity is important can thank the Cappadocian Fathers for at least trying to make it more understandable.

The gentleman, his home and leather

Commentary by Vicky Earley

I am always impressed by the gentleman who walks through my studio door in search of a better living space. decorating This is not a man who crosses the threshold with great reluctance because of pressure from a wife or girlfriend. This is a man who is not coerced and he is not in search of the stereotypical “man cave”.

No, this gentleman walks in of his own accord and brings with him a strong identity and what he hopes to achieve in his home.

This man recognizes that his environment impacts how he feels about the space that he lives in day to day, works from, and entertains in.

He wants his home pulled together to reflect who he is … not who an Ikea catalog says he should be.

The element of comfort is critical for a room that speaks to the male of the species. A chair or sofa has to be deep enough to comfortably accommodate the longer upper legs of men. Men are less likely than the women in their lives to curl up on a sofa so sitting upright in comfort is mandatory!

Leather is probably the main element for a masculine space. No longer is

leather relegated to sofas, chairs and ottomans.

Masculine decor can include something as striking as a leather wrapped chest that is embellished with nail heads for a stylish twist.

Rich wood is also a strong element for masculine space. It’s not too difficult to imagine a rich library feel complete with rich coffered wood walls or ceiling, bookcases from floor to ceiling

and mahogany furnishings. I think a Labrador Retriever just sauntered into my imaginary room with a pair of slippers in his mouth!

When considering masculine décor, a nostalgic scent of pipe tobacco can almost be imagined and it is a style that wears well on its own, but works nicely with modern touches. Textiles reminiscent of a fine suit blend beautifully with rich paisleys and plaids.

Men will almost always gravitate toward deeper colors. Charcoal gray, slate blue, merlot and chocolate brown are a few of my “go-to’s”.

Complicated colors that are the result of undertones are the richest and often are not the most appealing at the paint store.

Relevant artwork goes along way with male decorating. Works that reflect the occupant’s interest are outstanding choices. An avid sailor will revel in paintings of boats and shorelines while sports fans will appreciate a touch of memorabilia, such as framed jerseys or autographed photos. Globes and maps will speak to the adventure in a man while framed diplomas or certificates work as well.

And don’t forget about the Labrador Retriever!

BEAT BLOAT! Limit or avoid the following foods and beverages to help keep that bloated feeling away!

Dairy products: Lactose intolerance can range from mild to severe, but either way, gas is usually a symptom. Try limiting the amount of milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream you eat and see if that helps. If it does, you don't have to ditch dairy altogether. Drink lactose-free milk, and, if needed, take Lactaid pills to help your body digest milk products.

Apples and pears: These fruits contain about four grams of fiber per serving, so they're an excellent source of soluble fiber, but they can also wreak havoc on sensitive tummies. Don't avoid them entirely though. Eating half or a quarter of these fruits along with other foods will allow you to enjoy their flavor without paying the price.

Beans: This magical fruit contains oligosaccharide, a type of sugar, which is not normally digestible by our bodies. When this sugar reaches your large intestine, the bacteria go to town eating it up, and the gas you produce is an unfortunate byproduct.

Broccoli, cabbage, and asparagus: These highly nutritious veggies are often avoided because many people don't appreciate the odoriferous outcome. The reason these veggies cause gas is due to raffinose. This sugar goes undigested until it reaches the large intestine, where methane-producing bacteria ferment it. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do to cut down on the gas they produce, but eating them in moderation and with other foods should help prevent a bloated belly afterward.

Fatty foods: According to the Mayo Clinic, "Fat slows down digestion, giving food more time to ferment.'" It also increases the sensation of fullness.

Salty foods: Sodium may not cause gas, but it definitely makes you retain water. Cut back on the salt you add to foods, and be a label reader to make sure you're not exceeding 2,300 mg a day.

Gum and hard candy: When you chew or suck on these, you end up swallowing more often, which means you're probably swallowing more air.

Carbonated beverages: Bubbly drinks such as soda and beer release carbon dioxide,

A great feather dress is the perfect party ensemble. It has movement for dancing, a cinched waist for a polished look and just enough sparkle to make you stand out.

A feathered necklace pairs really well with a simple tee or classic button down when you're dressing for work, but it also looks amazing with a deep v-neck party dress when stepping out on the town.

A fancy feather high heel with a nice sleek pair of skinny jeans is another great pairing for a night on the town.

EXFOLIATING ADVICE Exfoliating boosts your skins natural radiance while evening skin tone, unclogging pores and diminishing fine lines.

Keep in mind however, over scrubbing can cause irritation and breakouts.

For oily skin, you can use a product to exfoliate every day, as long as it is meant for daily use. If your skin is normal or dry, exfoliating two or three times per week is sufficient.

To be sure you are on a proper exfoliating schedule, consult with a trained esthetician. Salon 01 estheticians are trained to recommend the proper products for use at home, as well as suggest a regular maintenance routine which could include weekly or monthly facials, and a series of microdermabrasions to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy all year!

New single level island opens up kitchen in remodel

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing Kitchen: Though they had lived there for less than a year, the third owners of this East Carmel home built in 2002 were ready for a kitchen remodel. blueprint for “The kitchen was improvement original, and the appliances were not working well,” the homeowner stated. “The countertops needed to be replaced. The kitchen was the part of the house that needed the most work when we bought it.”

Open Floor Plan: The kitchen is truly the center of the home in this open-concept floor plan.

The back wall of the home is mostly windows and overlooks Plum Creek golf course. Natural light abounds.

“Because the space is so open, our designer incorporated the style of our furniture and décor into the kitchen design,” the homeowner stated.

New Island Design: The original kitchen had a bi-level island that cut off the room visually.

The new design called for one single level island top, which the homeowners were not sure about at first.

“The kitchen is so open, that we were worried the new design would make the space feel too big. Once it was installed, we were so happy we made that change. It brings all of the rooms together,” the homeowner stated.

Natural Stone Finishes: To complement the

Before

Venetian Gold Santana granite countertops, 3 inch by 6 inch tumbled marble tile was installed in a subway pattern.

“The original backsplash was in a diamond pattern, and we wanted something more contemporary,” the homeowner stated. “The decorative tile above the cooktop is similar to a mosaic we saw while shopping for materials with our designer. We really like it.”

Final Result: Favorite new appliances include a quick-cooking GE Advantium oven and a counter-depth refrigerator.

“I love the new oven. It can do so many types of cooking,” the homeowner stated. The counterdepth fridge opened up the work area compared

After

to the old one that blocked the circulation in the kitchen.

“I love the way it all came together. I had a general idea of what I wanted. But it came out better than I imagined. Now I cook more than ever.”

“You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public.”

“Posting our job opening in Current was a tremendous success. Within hours of the issue being distributed, we had numerous inquiries from very qualified individuals. We signed up to have our ad run for two weeks, but was able to settle for one since we found the perfect person to fill our position so quickly.

You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public, and we will definitely use its services again."
