IMMI makes donation to WFD

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

As a way to thank the Westfield Fire Dept. for assisting the safety company, IMMI of Westfield presented the department with a check for $5,000 to help offset the cost of new safety equipment. The equipment is installed in the department’s new 123-foot ladder truck and will help better protect firefighters in the line of duty.

“We’re thrilled, not only to officially receive the most innovative equipment for our new truck, but to also know that it was all made right here, in our great community of Westfield,” said Mayor Andy Cook.

The new safety features include air bags, something not found in most fire trucks.

In case of a rollover, the air bags deploy and the seatbelts tighten. Westfield joins Noblesville as the only county departments whose vehicles have such devices installed. Other safety features being added include a Smart Dock, which secures air tanks within the truck’s rear seats.

“The act of fighting fires is dangerous.

The act of driving to and from is dangerous too,” said Mike Leaky, IMMI vice president of marketing. “This device has saved lives.”

WFD Chief Todd Burtron explained that Westfield serves as a beta-test site working with IMMI on safety products that help save the lives of their fellow firefighters across the nation.

“They’re a global company prominent in our industry,” he said.

“It’s critical for us to have in-use feedback,” added Leakey.

Recent safety innovations have changed the lives of firefighters drastically. Burtron said it wasn’t until the early 1990s that firemen were pulled off the backs of trucks and forced to sit inside. Six years ago occupant sensors were installed to go off if a fireman was seated but not wearing a seatbelt.

“Our drivers are instructed not to move until everyone is belted in,” said Burtron.

“The seatbelt is the No. 1 safety product in the vehicle.”

Burtron cannot recall a WFD accident in his time with the department.

“We’ve been very fortunate,” he said.

“It’s the little things that make a big

impact.”

IMMI is the largest manufacturer in Hamilton County, employing more than 700 people. The company is best known for its safety innovations in seatbelts on school buses, child seats, commercial and military vehicles. In June, the nations’s largest fire department, New York City's, awarded IMMI a special commendation for its work in the advancement of safety for first responders.

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

The Westfield Fire Department responds to more than 2,000 calls a year and has been protecting the community since 1904.

his relative’s vehicle.

According to police reports, when he asked the man why he was driving the car, the suspect grabbed him by his collar and pulled out a black semiautomatic handgun. The suspect then placed the gun to the victim’s head and demanded all of his money as another white male was standing nearby Connell who was also holding a handgun.

Police officials said when the victim yelled Managing Editor – Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444 ext. 206 Associate Editor – Terry Anker terry@currentincarmel.com Copy Editor – Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Art Director – Zachary Ross zach@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444 Associate Artist – Andrea Nickas andrea@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444

for help, the two suspects fled on foot without having stolen anything and without harming him. It was later discovered that a small amount of coins were stolen from the vehicle.

WPD detectives served arrest and search warrants on Sept. 8 and arrested Clinton Bryan Davis, 20, and Dylan E. McConnell, 19. Both have been charged with robbery and theft. A pre-trial date has been scheduled in Hamilton County Circuit Court for Nov. 11 with a jury trial to begin on Dec. 17.

Davis and McConnell are being held at the Hamilton County Jail on a $25,000 bond.

Cover Story

Mic Mead finishes his carriage car

Mayor Andy Cook drives his yellow jeep powered by city employees Kurt Wanninger and Matthew Skelton

Organizers expand derby race into day-long fall festival

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com When Westfield resident Mic Mead straps on his helmet and grabs the reigns of his Grand Junction Funktion entry, he’ll have “horse power” assisting gravity as he drives down South Union Street. It remains to be seen how fast Mead’s horse-drawn carriage entry is, but its creativity is evident at first glance.

Three months ago, Mead was inside his barn when he came across a discarded item, and his Grand Junction Funktion idea began.

“I didn’t want to build a car, but I have a rusty, old pony cart hanging up there with flat tires,” The work wasn’t as easy as replacing the wheels. To abide by the rules, Mead had to invent a breaking system. The cart also shines as if it's brand new and Mead added cushioning on the back bar. Instead of a steering wheel, two pieces of rope are attached to a spring-loaded front wheel. Mead said the spring turns the wheel back to center unless either rope is pulled.

“The course is long enough where if you are off a couple of degrees you’ll hit the curb,” he said.

Mead used his home at Acorn Farms and wife as inspiration for his design.

The horse – named Dickey White – is design after his wife’s childhood pony of the same name she owned while living on the farm. To create White, Mead used former political panel signs from 2002’s election. After painting the signs white, Mead created several pieces so the horse looks like it running.

“I can’t throw things away,” he joked. “One way or another, I’ll figure out a pony. I do a lot of sculpting, but never this type of thing.”

Sept. 29 will be Mead’s first participation in the annual downtown Westfield event. He encouraged Councilman Tom Smith to get the contest going and has been a spectator for several years.

“I’m going to drive, just for fun,” he said with a smile.

While winning the derby would be nice, Mead is focused on the challenge issued to the Westfield Rotary Club.

“If I win, the club donates $100 into the fund in my name. If I lose, I donate $100 to the fund,” he said. “I plan on challenging the mayor (Andy COok),too.” www.currentinwestfield.com

What: Grand Junction Funktion When: 2 to 8 p.m. Sept. 29 Where: South Union Street in downtown Westfield Events: Wacky car race, The Why Store concert, Sun King Brewery beer garden, vendors, kids area and corn hole tournament.

More information: Visit www.dwna.org, email dwawestfield@gmail.com, or call 965-3334.

The Event Westfield’s wacky answer to the Indy 500 takes place each year on Westfield’s main drag – South Union Street. Entering its fourth year, Grand Junction Funktion (formerly the “Grand Junction Derby”) in downtown Westfield is anticipated to be the best yet, as organizers have expanded the event into a day-long fall festival.

“Along with the wacky, gravity-powered, downhill car race which begins the event at 2 p.m. with the parade of cars heading north on South Union Street, there will be food and marketplace vendors, food trucks, kids area hosted by Cinderella’s Closet and Adagio Dance Academy, and a Poynter 10-board corn hole tournament hosted by the Westfield Fire Dept.,” said Downtown Westfield Association Executive Director Anne Poynter.

Derby cars compete in bracketed heats until winners are declared. Realistic racers competing in the Speed Class are built for speed and generally look like cars. For the Creative Class, anything goes – weird, wild, whatever.

“Fast is good, but outrageous is better!” said Poynter. “We want participants to dress up in costumes, throw things out to the crowd. . . It’s not about whos is the fastest, but who makes the Current in Westfield

An Uncle Sam themed car prepares to race.

biggest impression on the crowd.”

In addition to the driver, who starts the race at the top of Union Street’s slope, two pushers enter the race at the bottom of the hill and propel the car to the finish line.

“There’s some strategy to it,” Mead said.

When the racing concludes around 5 p.m., Indiana-based band The Why Store will perform an outdoor concert on South Union St. from 5 to 8 p.m. Sun King Brewery will set up a beer garden all day as well.

“Westfield High School freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes will be competing as well as local businesses and residents,” said Poynter, adding the WHS classes will be participating in their own competition. “The kids love it, it’s a lot of fun.”

It’s not too late to sign up as a participant or vendor. Those interested in learning more can contact the DWA at dwawestfield@ gmail.com or call 965-3334.

“Applications are still being accepted for entry, so build a car and have some fun!” Poynter said.

The Rules

1. All vehicles must fit in an 8x8x8-foot box. Smaller is fine, but entries must not to those measurements.

Opinion Arts festival worthy of your attention

The flight of a lifetime It is our position that the nonprofit Indy Honor Flight is providing an admirable service through its mission of transporting elderly and terminally-ill Hoosier veterans to visit memorials in Washington, D.C. dedicated to honor their sacrifices.

In the inaugural flight on Sept. 10, 80 World War II veterans along with volunteers consisting of guardians, trip leaders and healthcare professionals took a day trip to see the WWII War Memorial for the first time.

They were honored with a proper “welcome home” on their return by a crowd of well-wishers with American flags, banners and signs at the Indiana National Guard that also included a mail call in which each veteran received several letters and cards thanking them for their service.

In the words of the late Will Rogers, “We can’t all be heroes, some of us need to stand on the curb and clap as they go by.” And, thanks to the volunteers of Indy Honor Flight, Hoosier veterans of our Greatest Generation are finally receiving the welldeserved recognition for fighting to preserve our freedoms.

The total cost of an honor flight is around $65,000. Donations are needed for a second honor flight. To donate, visit IndyHonorFlight.org.

Taxing consideration

Commentary by Terry Anker

For as long as there have been politicians when an election looms, candidates name-call, prevaricate and foment envy, jealously and outright hatred. In an America where only half of us pay taxes, the conflict over money is like Clark Griswold’s Thanksgiving Day argument with his perpetually unemployed brother-in-law – “give me money, you have too much.” We still determine one’s worth by paycheck – but now when one’s earnings exceed average they are judged as BAD. Isn’t this the same as criticizing Michael Jordan for scoring more points than the rest of the league?

Like most things, it is a matter of perspective. If one benefits from government handouts, those programs make sense. If one pays for them, value becomes the top priority. We rarely mind when someone else is being taxed; so it would seem that the trick is to only tax those who don’t vote for our side? Rich or poor, no one likes to pay. Long ago, Adam

Smith pointed to the truth that we care more about smashing our own fingers than the deaths of a million in China.

Like most, I struggle to escape my own point of view. Our kids are well-fed and sheltered. But when they seek an increase in allowance, we don’t claim a lack of affordability, tell them that we don’t love them enough, allege their needs to be without merit, or wish they’d move out and die in a ditch. Instead, we wonder should our focus be on paying for education and security or benefits? Does our generosity add advantage or cause harm. And, can they learn to spend less, earn more, and be accountable for choices? They don’t like the oversight. But when folks not paying tax, push others to pay more, doesn’t it necessarily lead to tension? Shouldn’t it?

With festival season in full swing in our area and as a proud sponsor, allow us to commend to your attention the Carmel International Arts Festival, Saturday and Sunday, on Main Street and Range Line Road in the heart of the city. If you haven’t been, or if you did attend in years past and tired of visiting booths for sand art and finger-painting, we urge you to give it another try, because those days are fourth down and long gone. Not only has the organizing committee, under the direction of Rosemary Waters, secured a host of truly outstanding and varied artisans, and special attention has been paid to creating a tremendously diverse lineup of entertainment for two stages. The artistes come from parts local, national and international, and, as much as you always hear that “there will be something for everyone,” it very much will be the case this weekend. For more information, please visit www. www.carmelartsfestival.org.

There is no fee for admission.

Opinion I’ve had it up to here with politics VIEWS

Commentary by Danielle Wilson I am sick of politics! My relaxing Labor Day weekend was almost ruined by political talk and left me wondering whether I’ll survive the craziness long enough to actually vote in the November election.

Saturday morning started off well enough. I sat on the couch for three consecutive hours eating cheese and obsessing over a grant proposal I’m writing – until my Republican husband returned from his Republican brother’s house all riled up and ready to argue. But I’m a Democrat and, more to the point, I hate discussing politics, particularly with a Wilson. They don’t listen very well, and seem to relish the fight, especially when they can gang up on the one liberal in the entire family, little ol' me.

Bottom line: I avoid political discussions with in-laws when I can.

Doo knows this about me, but couldn’t help himself. He pushed just the right buttons to draw me in to a debate. Before I realized what was happening, he was up in my grille about social welfare, education and defense spending, and I was yelling about his inability to acknowledge my right to a different opinion. By the end of our “chat” we were both emotionally spent, though I was proud that I had finally seen a political discussion with Doo through to the end (usually I run off crying when it gets

too heated). As it turns out, I can make a pretty good case for my party affiliation if I’m just given the chance. Go me!

We had yet to recover when his Republican sister stopped by a bit later, so we steered the conversation towards my grant and enjoyed a solid hour of sampling apolitical gouda while Google-ing Cairo hotels. But then Doo’s parents decided to come over, fresh off the “2016” movie boat, and my day went to hell in a conservative handbag. I was forced to endure a lecture on the “unknown history” of Obama and, once again, get sucked into a political discussion. Enough!

I. Don’t. Like. Talking. About. Politics.

Never have, never will. It goes against my nonconfrontational nature and never seems to accomplish anything but raising everyone’s blood pressures. I understand we’re in the midst of a presidential election year and that the nation has seen better days, but does that mean that politics have to consume us? Must we spend every waking moment debating candidates and their platforms? There’s more to life than politics, people, like spending holiday weekends enjoying Romney-free cheddar. Peace out.

Wind Kissed

Local artist April Willy reflects on the Carmel International Arts Festival

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com For the last 15 years, the focal point of the Carmel International Arts Festival has been placed undeniably on the art and, beyond that, the art competition. Last year’s Best in Show winner April Willy, a painter and Carmel native, has been a long time participant in the festival. “(Winning Best in Show) was a great honor and achievement, especially considering the level of talent on display,” said Willy. “I never expect to win, but it is the icing on the cake after already getting such great exposure and good sales at the festival.”

The judge of this year’s art competition will be Evan Lurie, gallery directory of Carmel’s Lurie Gallery. Having lived in New York and traveled extensively across Europe, Lurie has developed a wide network of artists from around the world while establishing one of Carmel’s most highly respected art galleries.

Like most of the artists participating in the festival, Willy is truly a professional artist with her own full-time gallery in the Indiana Design Center.

14 | September 18, 2012

Willy “I have been painting professionally since attending art school in the ’80s, but made my living mostly through commercial illustration.

I made the transition to working as a fine art painter around 10 years ago. I work full time doing commissions, showing in galleries and participating in regional shows,” said Willy.

After years of attending all of the notable art festivals in the region, Willy decided to participate exclusively in the Carmel International Arts Festival.

“I am genuinely loyal to Carmel, not just because it is my home town, but because of the overall quality of the event’s organization, pro-

Nesting

motion, volunteers and talent,” said Willy.

With the festival set in the center of the Carmel Art & Design district, an area filled with art galleries and designed for foot traffic, it is not surprising that the festival has gotten progressively larger as the years have gone on.

“The festival truly gets better every year, which is a direct result of the great promotion the city of Carmel has given to the Arts & Design District,” said Willy. “(The festival organizers) realized, a few years ago, the need to restrain the amount of artists they were jurying in the competition in order to keep the quality of art at a peak level,” said Willy.

A number of Willy’s favorite artists such as Beth Forst, Randall Harden, Julie Houck, Carol Bell, Lee Ellis and Chang Kwa Brown will also be participating in this year’s competition.

For more information regarding Willy and her art gallery, visit her Web site at aprilwilly. com.

The Carmel International Arts Festival will be held at Main Street and Range Line Road in the heart of Carmel’s Arts & Design District this Saturday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sunday (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Admission is free. For more information, visit carmelartsfestival.org.

‘A Chorus Line’ gets a standing ovation

By Kerrie Miller • editorial@youarecurrent.com When I attend a live performance of any kind, I usually sit straight up in my seat so as to take it all in. On Saturday evening, while I was at the Tarkington Civic Theatre, I found myself sitting forward in my seat, chin in my hands and a permanent smile on my face as I was pulled into an incredible production of “A Chorus Line.” I felt as though I was the director’s assistant, judging the 17 dancers on stage and listening to their individual stories as each person stepped out of the line up for their monologue, often spoken through song. With only a black back drop and the occasional use of mirrors, there were no distractions, enabling the audience to focus on each of the characters.

I very much enjoyed the ballet variations that accompanied the song “At the Ballet.” Natallee Cooney (Judy) executed a beautiful penchee with her partner as Laura Lockwood (Sheila), Betsy Norton (Bebe) and Julia Bonnett (Maggie) sang the song. Laughter filled the audience when Jordan Lugar (Kristine) and John O’Brien (Al) performed the husband and wife duet “Sing!” O’Brien’s strong voice, along with Lugar’s innocent execution of her character’s story, made me want their performance to continue for as long as possible. Anne Nicole Beck (Cassie) breezed through her dance to “The Music and the Mirror” effortlessly to the very end as she finished with a striking pose.

'A Chorus Line' runs through Saturday Submitted photo

The golden finale of “One” was a reminder that this energetic, two-hour performance was coming to an end. The singing and dancing from all of the characters was as strong at the end as it was in the beginning. As the curtain closed on the synchronized kick line, I watched the audience begin to stand and applaud, anxiously awaiting a curtain call. The lights in the Tarkington Theatre came on and the curtain remained down. Oh how I wished that curtain would lift so the performers could see the standing ovation, because each and every one of them deserved this.

“A Chorus Line” runs through September 22 at The Tarkington Theater (3 Center Green, Carmel). Performances are Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 5 p.m. Tickets are available online at thecenterfortheperformingarts.org or by phone at 843-3800.

Illness inspires Cooper to open insurance agency

Photoshop for

By Katy Frantz • katy@youarecurrent.com Doug Cooper recently opened the doors to his own insurance business – The Doug Cooper Agency, located at 783 E. Main St., Westfield – but arriving at this point was an unpredictable journey for the Cooper family.

Last November, Cooper was hospitalized with an isolated case of acute renal failure due to a common cold.

“I had two little boys and no life insurance – I was thinking about becoming a life insurance agent anyway – and it solidified that I was doing the right thing,” he said.

During his three months of recovery Cooper gained “insurance knowledge and licensing” and chose an agency to work with. Cooper’s agency is a branch of American Family Insurance, a company which started in rural Wisconsin in 1927.

The No. 1 priority of his business is “making sure that every customer receives respect” and is treated with the greatest possible customer service.

“My passion and privilege is to help educate families on insurance,” Cooper said.

Cooper understands that no one likes life insurance, but that it is necessary and useful when the unexpected happens.

“Having a personal insurance agent is valuable, because you get the education. You know what you are buying and know you are covered well,” he said.

One of Cooper’s goals in his business is to be

present when customers are dealing with catastrophic loss.

“One of the things that is very important to me is – whenever humanely possible – to physically be there on site and taking that burden off of the customer, filing the claim for them, walking them through the process, making sure they have the means for living until their home is rebuilt,” he said.

Cooper will work with people in whatever setting they are comfortable – over the phone, in the office or through text or email.

“We don’t expect your business,” he said, “although we would like to ask for an opportunity to earn it.”

Cooper has lived with his wife and two boys in Westfield for four years, and is getting involved in the community. He is a member of the Westfield Rotary Club and volunteers with his church and Habitat for Humanity.

You can make a difference…one step at a time!

Who gets child custody in divorce?

Attorney Lanae Harden offers information on what the courts in Indiana look for when determining child custody in a divorce.

The best interest of the child is the standard by which any order of child custody is determined. If the parties agree, the court will order joint custody. Even if only one parent wants joint custody, the court may award it if the court thinks it would be in the child’s best interest.

The court can consider many factors, including: • the wishes of the parents and whether they have agreed to joint custody; • the mental and physical health of all parties; • whether the persons are willing and able to communicate and cooperate in advancing the child’s welfare; • the wishes of the child (with more weight given to the child’s wishes if the child is at least 14 years old); • geographical proximity of the parents’ homes; and • the physical and emotional environment in each home.

By definition, legal custody is the decision making control over a child. The legal custodian(s) have control in decisions of healthcare, religion, and education. The parties can agree to any other type of decision making control. Some examples of other types of decision making control in the child's life include the participation in extracurricular activities, dating age, summer camps, age for getting a job, or methods of discipline for the child.

Physical custody is simply where the child lives or spends his or her time. The child may have a primary physical custodian, which is just where the child lives most of the time.

Register NOW for the 2012 Walk of Hope Saturday, October 6 Lions Park in Zionsville

Physical custody may be shared between parents who do not live together through parenting time. Indiana has created minimum parenting time guidelines, but they are only a starting point. Once again, the parties may agree to whatever parenting time schedules work best for them and their children.

stvincentwalkofhope.org

Joint custody does NOT mean each parent will have the child one half of the time. The court can order joint legal custody, and then decide how much time each parent will have the child.

Lt. Gov.Becky Skillman and Indiana State Executive Director of the Farm Service Agency Julia Wickard recently announced that all 92 Indiana counties have been designated primary natural disaster areas by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.

The word comes after Skillman and Wickard Skillman sent a letter on July 25 to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack, requesting a Secretarial disaster designation for Indiana, due to the impact of excessive heat,

frost, freeze and drought. The USDA reviewed the Loss Assessment Reports and determined sufficient production losses to warrant such a declaration.

A Secretarial disaster designation makes qualified farmers in both primary and contiguous counties eligible for lowinterest emergency loans through USDA’s Farm Service Agency. Farmers in eligible counties have Wickard eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for low interest loans. FSA will consider each loan application on individual merits.

LIFESTYLE Fundraisers Donors can double their money in ‘Match 4 More’ eidtorial@youarecurrent.com With just days away from the inaugural Race 4 More in Carmel, a donor has come forward offering matching funds for donations made now through race day – up to $13,000. The race happens on Saturday at Northview Church, 131st St. and Hazel Dell Pkwy., Carmel.

Participants will either run or walk, four miles or one as part of this fundraiser aimed at fighting poverty through the efforts of Love at Work Ministries, a local Christian nonprofit.

Nicknamed the “Match 4 More,” this matching opportunity means the value of a donation doubles in its power to help some of the neediest people in the world. This year’s goal is to raise $205,000.

“The generosity of this donor energizes our efforts to build a new feeding center that will nourish hundreds of hungry kids in the slums of

Costa Rica,” says Larry Prible, who co-founded Love at Work with his wife, Carole.

The proceeds from the Race 4 More will be used in Alajuelita, San José, Costa Rica to eliminate poverty housing, hunger and hopelessness, to educate underprivileged kids, and raise up future, Godly leaders.

“You’ve got to think of these kids like you would your own kids, as having absolutely equal value and potential in the eyes of God,” added Carole.

To help Love at Work reach this matching potential, visit www.Race4More.com and donate.

Those interested in participating can still sign up online. Registration is 6:45 to 8 a.m. Saturday with the Pee Wee Race (ages 2-9) beginning at 8 a.m. and the four-mile and one-mile races starting at 8:30 a.m. Awards and a celebration will immediately follow the four-mile race.

Boy Scouts prepare to kickoff annual popcorn drive – Crossroads of America Council Boy Scouts are kicking off their annual popcorn drive once again to raise money for area Scouting programs. Scouts throughout Central Indiana will sell popcorn at stores, door-to-door and online starting Saturday and running through Nov. 3. The Trail’s End popcorn will offer a new twist on an old favorite in the form of “Double Caramel Crunch with a hint of cheese” in addition to traditional bestsellers such as “Unbelievable Butter” microwave popcorn.

Proceeds from the popcorn drive are used to pay for equipment, activities and camps for Scouts, and 70 percent of popcorn purchases will directly support local Scouting programs.

Grammar Guy

Ten items or fewer

Question: I really enjoyed your article about the differences between “effect” and “affect.”

I wonder if sometime you could also write an article about the usages of “few” and “less.” No one seems to know there are situations where one should use “few.” Even news anchors botch this usage. – Rita Fugit, Carmel Answer: Fewer people do seem to be using the word “few” these days. Luckily, I had a high school English teacher who was a stickler for the rule, so I have an answer for you.

As in my first sentence above, “few” or “fewer” should be used when describing plural nouns that are discretely quantifiable. These are also called count nouns, which, to put it simply, means you can easily count them. A simple test is to put a number in front of the noun you are looking to modify. If you can say “seven people,” “or 25 people” or “1 million people,” and the phrase makes sense, then you have a count noun and should use “fewer.”

“Less” comes into play for mass nouns – which, if you read a lot of Slylock Fox like I did when I was young, you may have already deduced are nouns that are not easily countable.

These are going to be more abstract subjects:

crime, pollution, beauty, etc. So, there may be less crime today than in past decades, but there are fewer criminals.

There are quirks to the rule, of course. Some nouns – I don’t have a list for you, sorry – have both a mass and count form. Take a word like “fear.” If you go sky diving to conquer a fear of heights, you might have one fewer fear than you did before. If you turned on a flashlight in a dark room, however, you would be less fearful. In the first example, “fear” serves as a count noun because it is specific and quantifiable – the fear of heights, closed spaces, broccoli, whatever.

In the second example, “fear” is a mass noun because it is used more abstractly. You can have seven distinct fears, but you don’t feel seven distinct fears – you just feel fear.

One final item of note before I let you go: Throw out the last 350 or so words when it comes to time, distance and money. We use “less” for these. You have less than $50. You run a mile in less than 10 minutes. Et cetera.

Heartland Spa

Spa + books = heaven!

Commentary by Tracy Line One of the newest travel trends is a vacation with a theme or event tied in. Major cruise lines offer concerts, wine tastings and the chance to hobnob with celebrity chefs almost regularly now. Culinary and adventure trips are popping up everywhere, and traveling to volunteer is so popular it’s gained a moniker: voluntourism.

I don’t normally get so excited about such trips. However, given the right combination, even I can be persuaded. And so it is that I am headed to the Heartland Spa in January for their Jane Austen weekend. I mean really, a relaxing massage, delicious cuisine and stimulating book discussions: I’m all in!

The Heartland is an all-inclusive spa located about two hours northwest of Noblesville, in Gilman, IL. Stays include lodging, all meals/ snacks, a spa treatment (additional treatments for purchase), fitness classes and wellness discussions.

Guests enjoy use of the salon, spa and fitness center with indoor pool, whirlpool and sauna.

The idea for the weekend came from the

Heartland’s Reenie Kietzman.

“I was walking around and noticed several of our guests were curled up on a sofa reading a book,” says Kietzman, “I finally asked one guest if she’d be interested in a book-themed weekend, she was so enthusiastic we decided to try it.”

Kietzman notes that reading is a great stress reducer, and thus an important part of health.

While guests are free to simply enjoy the spa, book lovers can unite to celebrate Austen through book discussions, an Austen movie-marathon and much more. In addition, Noblesville’s own Jo Mader and her husband are guest speakers for the weekend. Mader is a previous board member and current member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Being able to relax, learn about Austen and support a local speaker: that’s a marketing ploy I’ll take anytime.

Outdoors

Transforming your backyard into a private escape Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL BACK YARD: This home is located in the Bridlebourne subdivision on the west side of Carmel and was built in 1996. The current owners have lived in it since Sept 2009 and were not happy with the simple deck and the underutilized back yard space. “The backyard had no character and the space was wide open. Also, we have quite a lot of storage under the deck but it was not very accessible. We wanted a second set of stairs so we could use that space better.”

REASONS FOR UPGRADING DECK: The owners had already remodeled most of the interior.

“After completing the interior, we felt we should have an equally upgraded exterior as well. The layout was dated, and we wanted it to flow with the style of the inside of the house. Also, we wanted a hot tub, and we knew we would have to remodel the deck to accommodate it.”

DECK RAILING DETAILS: The expanded deck was completely reframed to include more seating and space for the new hot tub. The existing deck boards were replaced with Trex Transcend deck boards with hidden fasteners. The new railing is Trex handrail with powder coated aluminum belly balusters.

STAMPED CONCRETE SEATING AREA: The lower patio area includes a stamped concrete

patio seating area surrounded by concrete paver seating walls and planter boxes. The new outdoor fireplace includes a 36-inch wide firebox and twin wood storage fireboxes covered with matching brick veneer and limestone caps and accents.

FAVORITE FEATURES: “We spend a lot of time on the deck and love using the hot tub. We will use the lower patio and fireplace level more in the fall. My wife loves her tiered, raised gar-
