$6M indoor basketball, volleyball facility planned

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Fifteen hours after the Westfield City Council approved the indoor soccer facility, another major announcement designed to make Grand Park a yearround destination and offer Development a broader range of sporting activities was made.

On Sept. 23, the city said a group of local investors have committed to develop a 56,000-squarefoot indoor facility for basketball and volleyball worth an estimated $6 million. The new facility, called Grand Park Fieldhouse, will feature six fullsized courts with locker rooms, offices and a café focused on healthy eating options. Sand volleyball courts also are being considered.

“Since March when we opened and there was still ice on these ponds, I would quite occasionally get the question, ‘Andy, you are very unHoosier for you not have Cooke the presence of Indiana’s icon sport of basketball.’ I said, ‘Be patient, very soon some wise folks from the private sector will help us fill that void,’” Mayor Andy Cook said.

Officials said strong demand has been forecasted for this type of basketball and volleyball facility from the local area and across the nation for leagues, camps and tournaments. The investor group developing Grand Park Fieldhouse includes entrepreneur Andy Card and other local investors.

“Without the mayor and Henke Development

Group this project wouldn’t have gotten off the ground,” said Card, founder of Grand Park Fieldhouse.

Card said the idea started a year ago after a basketball game on a napkin at a Mexican restaurant.

“I was sitting there, talking about doing this and Clint CushCard man from Henke Group said, ‘I’ve got a guy, I’m telling you this was meant to be (that) you and I had dinner,’” Card said. “So we continued to ignore the other 12 people at the table for the next two hours drawing on the tablecloth and napkins and he’s texting people. Ever since then it’s just gained a lot of momentum.”

The fieldhouse will be east of Grand Park Parking Lot G. In addition to hosting basketball and volleyball events, the fieldhouse is in negotiations with a third-party sports rehabilitation company, which will allow athletes of all sports to utilize the facility.

“Our intention is to make it the cutting edge indoor basketball, volleyball facility in the Midwest to go along with the Westfield Sports Complex here, which is known nationally for its quality,” Card said.

“Putting this fieldhouse here in Westfield is going to get some young men and women I believe opportunities they may not have ever had … It helps them have a place to go, play and tone up their athletics and be at a place where good things are happening with good role models.”

Rodney Sinn will be vice president of operations of the fieldhouse.

“It’s a dream come true to run a facility like this,” Sinn said. “We’re excited about bringing our family here to Westfield. We’re excited as Andy said to have a top-notch facility. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel; we’re just excited to make the thing roll a whole lot better.”

It is estimated that the fieldhouse will create 100 jobs and bring tens of millions into the local economy. The facility has a tentative groundbreaking date of April and an opening date of January 2016. It will begin its zoning application during the next several months.

Cook said residents should expect to see other announcements on the vacant land adjacent to Grand Park come soon, including a hotel.

“What this tells us is the financial plan for Grand Park is working and working well,” Cook said “What we set out to do was invest in this public entity with the goal of creating a very unique and very profitable environment in which the private sector can join us in this investment.

And this announcement today just begins to put a huge exclamation point on that theory.”

With 800,000 visits since the opening, Steve Henke of Henke Development Group said there is more interest from hotels and Henke restaurants to come to Westfield.

“The development coming into this area is absolutely incredible,” Henke said. “We are really, really excited about this development.”

Council approves Bridgewater Center sign, soccer facility

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Construction is coming to Grand Park and 146th Street as the Westfield City Council approved two projects on Sept. 22.

To create an easier focal point highlighting the four tenants of Bridgewater Center, Throgmartin-Henke government Development has requested two 15-feet monument signs. The signs will be placed on 146th Street and Carey Road.

Westfield Senior Planner Kevin Todd said the signs, which will be matching, will have 90-square feet on each side with 75-square feet available for tenant information. Each will have electronic message abilities to show fuel prices at Rickers.

“Instead of having six or seven individual signs, there will be

two signs with all the information,” Todd said.

The sign will illuminate green lights instead of red with the gas prices. At night the sign also will only light the lettering and logos of the four businesses rather than the entire piece.

“This is a win-win for the developer and city trying to keep our sign clutter to a minimum while still advertising our businesses,” councilor Steve Hoover said.

Construction on the sign will take place this fall.

Indoor soccer facility The $24 million indoor soccer facility proposed by Holladay Properties made several architectural changes and added plantings to its landscaping plan from its original presentation to the council on Aug. 11. Major changes made during the advisory plan commission review were corner and column bump outs which will

be a different color and texture. While the bump outs will remain as steel panels, officials said they will be powder coated with a stone-type feel. Light fixtures were added to each of the columns and will surround the 372,000-square-foot facility.

While most of the council liked the changes made, councilor Cindy Spoljaric cast the lone dissenting vote to approve the project.

Spoljaric had issues with the project’s landscape plan and how it did not conform to the city’s general business landscaping standards. Economic Development Director Matt Skelton said the project is minimum standards to reduce costs. He said the city owns the land and the council has the ability to add more landscaping.

Other items of business at the meeting included: • A public hearing on the city’s 2015 budget was held. No comments were made or submitted to council.

minutes with Dewey Abney

By Melissa Hicks Dewey Abney is a Westfield police officer-in-training.

What is your favorite restaurant and why?

My favorite restaurant is Fogo de Chao.

They serve lots of different types of meat. They cook it fresh and bring it out there, you get to slice little chunks off and you get to sample a bunch of different types of meat.

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be and why?

For me, it would be Australia. That’s because I have family, my sister lives in Australia.

What is something nobody knows about you?

Something nobody here probably knows is that I like to country line dance. I’m terrible at it, but I like to do it.

Do you have a pet?

I have 4 dogs and cat. We do therapy

work with two of the dogs, two pit bull mixes. My wife is an advocate for pit bulls. She’s with the Indy pit crew.

She’s a board member. So one of them is a search and rescue dog. And the other one he almost looks like a big scary dog but he’s not, he such a lover. We take him to the schools. They have a program where the kids read to the dogs.

What do you like most about your community?

The quality of people. I mean it’s a great community, there are so many places and a lot of things to do. Nice parks. You don’t see a lot of trouble like you see in other places. ... It’s really just a great place to live.

I want them to understand that responsibility and work ethic are vital.

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills?

Encouraging children to work hard in everything they do will help students have a successful future, not just help them do well in school. I also feel that teaching children to treat all people, in all situations, with respect is important.

WWII veteran honored for service

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Seventy years ago Westfield resident George Sheets was fighting in Central Europe. On Sept.

22, Sheets was recognized recognition for his military service in World War II with family members and church friends in attendance.

In front of a crowd of approximately 30 people, Mayor Andy Cook proclaimed George Sheets Day at Maple Park Village, 776 N. Union St., where Sheets lives.

Sheets served in Company B – 83rd Medical Battalion Armored during World War II. Jerolyn Ogle, Sheets’ daughter, said he entered active duty in November 1942 and served in Central Europe Rhineland including the Battle of the Bulge.

Sheets was wounded in Homburg, Germany and received the Purple Heart. Ogle said his other honors include the Good Conduct, American Campaign and the European African Middle Eastern Campaign medals. Sheets was given an Honorable Discharge on Oct. 29, 1945 from Camp Cooke, Calif.

The idea for the recognition came from the Rev. John Parker of Village Park Bible Methodist Church, 219 W. 161st St. “I think it’s super. The Rev. Parker came up with the idea to do it and it just kind of mush-

roomed,” Ogle said, adding that more and more family members wanted to be there for the occasion and the nursing home assisted with the event. “I think it was really nice … I’m very happy for him.”

Parker said the idea was an impulse he had one day.

“He’s a good man, great man,” Parker said. “I felt like he’s been due for a long time. The mayor was very excited about doing it.”

Sheets turned 99 in July.

“We were hoping to wait until he turned 100, but he came close to dying a few weeks ago from phenomena,” Parker said. “I just didn’t want to wait and take the chance.”

Parker said he hoped Sheets could participate in the Indy Honor Flights program.

“They’d love to take him on one of them (trips), but he’s not up for that,” he said.

Parker said Sheets is a very private person and knew the idea might upset him.

“He’s never sought recognition,” Parker said. “If he gets mad, I’ll take the blame.”

Sheets has lived in Hamilton County most of his life and has been a Westfield resident for 65 years.

“He’s been a long-term associate of our church. He’s as loyal and faithful as any member,” Parker said.

On Sept. 24, Westfield Washington Schools’ students met at the intermediate, middle and high schools to pray at 7 a.m. with students around the world during the International Day of Prayer. The event was led by students not adults.

“I knew Tom was stubborn enough to overcome the setbacks of his stroke, he just needed the right encouragement.”

Praying pupils Tom’s recovery from the stroke was challenging for both of us. I never doubted that he would walk again—I worried about finding him the best care possible. I was immediately comfortable with the caring staff at Westminster Village North. With each visit, I saw Tom getting stronger. The therapist constantly encouraged him, and kept me involved in his care. Before long, Tom was back on his feet, thanks to his determination and the wonderful staff that treated us like family.

11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

There are many couples in the state of Indiana who cohabitate either because of the law or by personal choice. These couples often conduct themselves in similar ways to married couples such as having children and owning real and personal property. The separation or “uncoupling” of these cohabitating couples can require legal gymnastics under legal theories certainly not intended nor equipped to handle the personal and family issues of a cohabitating couple.

It is surprising that in the 21st century, the laws regarding separation and dissolution have not evolved to address cohabitating and same-sex couples – even legally married same-sex couples. Creative application of partition, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment legal theories may mean something to lawyers, but to the couple with children, a house, retirement and financial accounts, life insurance policies, furniture, and a dog, these theories are confusing and irrelevant.

As far as these couples are concerned, their family issues are the same as the divorcing heterosexual couple next door. For attorneys who work with families, whether heterosexual, cohabitating, or same sex, the application of “non-family” law and legal theories to families is far less than ideal.

Indiana statutes related to children are applied freely to any kind of family – custody, parenting time, and child support are easily addressed under Indiana law. However, division of property and debts requires the creative and legal gymnastics of experienced lawyers. It is important to start the process of good legal footing with an attorney who is knowledgeable in the area of same-sex and cohabitating family law issues.

Collaborative divorce concepts can be applied to any kind of family law case, and effectively address issues in same-sex and cohabitating couples just as in heterosexual–married couples.

The collaborative team works with the parties to address all of the needs of the family: child custody, child support, parenting time, division of property, payment of debt, and allocation of retirement and financial assets. Collaborative divorce puts the law into the proper perspective for all couples. Through collaborative practice, divorcing same-sex and cohabitating couples can agree to apply dissolution statutes as guides to resolution of their issues while a judge in a traditional litigation case may not. This is good news for uncoupling the same-sex or cohabitating couples!

Uncoupling occurs in all kinds of couples whether heterosexual, same-sex, married, or unmarried. In all uncoupling cases, there are personal as well as financial issues that must be properly addressed. Any person who is in the process of uncoupling deserves the best possible representation. Whether the couple chooses collaborative practice, or finds themselves in litigation, knowledge and experience of legal issues is necessary to guide same-sex and cohabitating couples through the uncoupling process.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Mom’s race against the clock

Onward to Geist our company goes

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

We’re extremely excited to announce our latest plans for expansion, this time into the Geist market. With an anticipated launch in the first quarter of 2015, we’re fast at work finalizing the staffing and more pin-pointedly familiarizing ourselves with the area. We will deliver by U.S. Mail every Tuesday to 11,306 high-income, high-education households that “hug the lake” (and beyond). The move into the northeastern market comes at the behest of advertisers large and small. We’re happy to answer their call and are eager to serve a new readership and market. The launch will bring to 119,439 the number of households Current serves.

You can’t make up this stuff: • Last week, we read with interest about how a federal judge ordered the state of Alaska to increase outreach to Native American voters with limited English proficiency - because, you know … democracy, right?

This, of course, led us to ask: Limited English proficiency? Doesn’t that pretty much sum up what is lacking amongst the majority of the United States’ population? The days of “grammar school” have gone the way of the running board, we’re afraid, and it shows so horribly in everyday conversation, writing, speech and media.

• Then comes the recent “60 Minutes” report about how scammers have made small fortunes by taking advantage of the joke that is the Internal Revenue Service. It seems the opportunists – and we’re talking about the scammers here, not the IRS – sent in fraudulent tax returns with anticipated refunds in the low four figures. Well, they received the checks, because there was no checks-and-balances protocol to prevent it from happening. None of this probably would be the case had former IRS chief Lois Lerner’s hard drive not been wiped clean. What’s that, you say? You forgot all about the IRS scandal involving Lerner?

We’re sorry to learn that, because that’s exactly what the IRS was hoping would happen.

Envying aspiration Commentary by Terry Anker In preparation for an upcoming trip to Mumbai, the film “Slumdog Millionaire” finally made it onto my Netflix queue. It tells the story of a young, desperately unprivileged boy struggling to find his way to adulthood with only his labor, his brother and his unanswered love to help him survive his abysmal circumstance. As a matter of course, films designed to morosely pull at our heartstrings stay at the bottom of my list – instead preferring accounts of overcoming and aspiration to those envy and despair. Happily, this Millionaire always found a way to consider the glass half full and the movie deserves its many accolades.

But why did he, and others that this fictional character is intended to represent, emerge from the cesspool that was his life to become a noble hero? When some might blame what they perceive as the diminished adherence to traditional family and religious organizations for the slide and others might argue that a fat welfare state incentivizes dependence rather than responsibil-

ity, Jamal, the protagonist, clung to his belief that his life, his little insignificant life, could be filled with happiness – and to quote a phrase, the pursuit of happiness filled him with hope.

America was founded upon a promise that, for those inclined, one had a right to pursue happiness. All of the machinations of today’s envious “rights” culture aside, there was a time in our history of aspiration. Over these many years, I’ve been fortunate to visit some of the world’s wealthiest and poorest places. Sure, there are scores of important factors that contribute to one’s position on the continuum; but aspiring to be more, not envying those who may be, is a common antidote to misery. Jamal inspires us to aspire to a better future and not to seethe in envy over a bitter past.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Don’t hold on to anger, hurt or pain.

They steal your energy and keep you from love.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Of late, I have not been the best mother in the world, so of course, when I finally have an opportunity to be one, nothing goes my way.

Take yesterday, for example. humor I was trying desperately to make it to my twins’ cross country meet. I’d already worked some spectacular whiteboard magic to make my attending the race even a possibility, including but not limited to a last-second carpool for my youngest. But as I headed out, I realized even those schedule changes may not be enough.

It was 5:09 p.m., and I was 6.7 miles from the course. My GPS had me arriving at my destination one minute before start time, at 5:29.

But those 6.7 miles went directly through town on a two-lane road generously sprinkled with stop signs. Did that ETA take into account the notoriously-bad, eastbound rush-hour traffic?

I drove a whole mile before I reached a dead stop and the conclusion that no, GPS was not figuring in a bumper-to-bumper speed. Argh!

Now my phone said I wouldn’t be there until 5:31.

The cussing started soon thereafter, as idiot after idiot made left-hand turns. Didn’t these people realize my guilt assuagement plan was rapidly falling apart? And my stupid phone kept recalculating! 5:34. 5:35. Satellites are now dead to me.

As 5:30 came and went and I was still stuck on the road, I did the math. I knew my daughter would take around 18 minutes to finish, but my son would probably be done in 14. If they started on time, I might miss his whole race.

Come on!

I finally arrived at the school at 5:36 p.m.

And naturally the only available parking was in the farthest lot by the buses, a fact that the woman in front of me couldn’t quite come to grips with. “Move, lady!” I shouted. I eventually whipped around her, threw my van into park, and then sprinted as best I could in my skirt and heels while navigating a minefield of mud puddles.

At last I reached the course, already filled with middle-school runners, but could find no sign of my twin-kies. Was I too late? Had all my effort been in vain? [Enter Despair, stage left.] And then my son rounded a turn, heading straight for me. His face lit up when he realized I’d come, as did my daughter’s when she jogged by shortly thereafter. I’d battled schedules, traffic, and the indecisive grandma, but I’d made it. Best mother in the world? Probably not. But I was a good one on that afternoon.

Peace out.

Fishers Renaissance Faire celebrates 10th year

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com

There’s only one event in this area that can boast this lineup: swordplay, jousting, Queen Elizabeth (the first), knighting ceremonies event and Shakespeare vignettes. Yes, it’s time for Fishers’ Renaissance Faire.

Ren Faire is celebrating its 10th anniversary on Oct. 4 and 5, which is significant for an event that had trouble finding a home in its first year. The original intent was to come up with a signature event for the non-profit organization Fishers Sister Cities which, among other things, exchanges students and teachers between Fishers and Billericay, England. Diane Eaton, then-president of Sister Cities and committee member Walt Bagot came up with the idea of a Renaissance Faire. There are many around the nation, but there was nothing like it in our area. After several years in different places including Conner Prairie, the Ren Faire now makes its home at Saxony Village at 131st Street and Olio Road.

The faire may have had trouble finding a home at first, but it didn’t have any issues finding attendees and was a success from the start. According to Ren Faire Executive Director Adam Fivush, it continues to increase in popularity and is second only to Fishers Freedom Festival in attendance.

“The faire has been growing steadily each year.

The demographics have changed significantly. The first faire was a local event attended by mostly Fishers residents. In year eight, 70 percent of the patrons did not come from Hamilton County,” he said, adding that people come from all over the state including 7 percent from outside Indiana.

“The faire is becoming a tourist attraction and is the only event in Hamilton County that brings in so many patrons from out of the area.”

Fivush said the event is unique because it is the biggest one-weekend faire in the country and rather than being a business like most are, it is a fundraiser.

Ren Faire has 250 costumed characters that will play roles during the festival. A five-year participant, Linda Eberharter is playing Queen Elizabeth this year.

“I have always been interested in this time period, so the event that happens not just here but all over the country intrigues me,” she said. “It’s a piece of history, along with the culture that I think just oozes from the entire production.”

Douglas Whisman, a Ren Faire committee member, said there are some interesting historical facts about the faire.

“It incorporates real places and people (historical figures) in Billericay, England. Examples of this: The (wishing) well at the faire is a reference to the real well in the middle of Billericay, England,

(which) dates back to Roman times,” he said. “The beer tent is named The Red Lion, which really exists in Billericay. The cast of characters are also named after real people who lived several hundred years ago in Billericay. The historical register was searched in Billericay for people of that era. Their names were used by our cast. So those are a few examples of the historical aspect of our faire.”

Participants said the event brings something different to Fishers. “(It’s) a weekend of fun for the whole family; unless it rains; then it brings a lot of people in strange, wet outfits,” performer Tim Hoke said.

“Anyone interested in history or gets a thrill at fantasy or knights in shining armor, and an overall magical feel, will have a ball at the faire. Additionally there are numerous artisans with unique items for sale. And the food is fantastic,” Eberharter said.

Ten years later, Eaton is pleased with how the event has turned out.

“I think it grew into tourism. I think it grew into creativity and opportunities for our community and it’s grown into helping our community and bringing people here from England,” she said.

Going French for Fair Haven

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com

through the services her organization offers.

This event takes all year to prepare in order to find quality merchandise and plan all the event details. The market provides an atmosphere of a market you would find on the streets of Paris.

All the dedicated planning is worth it to Luebker because of the impact she knows Fair Haven has on all involved.

She said, “I have witnessed first hand the increased hope and recovery when patients have the loving support of family, friends and a compassionate community.”

This year is the second Annual Parisian Flea Market. The merchandise for the market is selected by committee members as well as provided by Masters Jewelers and Twigs. Fine wine and hors d’oeuvres plan to be served at the event while shoppers choose from an array of unique items. Funds raised go to the support of Fair Haven services.

This event will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 10 and Oct. 11, at Clay Terrace Shopping Center.

Parisian Flea Market tickets are $5 per person (16 and under free). Tickets may be purchased at the door or online at www.FairHavenFoundation.org or by calling (317) 348-3688.

Charming, vintage, and a one-of-a-kind shopping experience awaits residents of Carmel. Fair Haven is offering unique shopping event through the Parisian Flea Market at Clay Terrace to help benefit the Fair Haven Foundation. New accessories, furniture and gift items are a distinguished part of what the market is offering to attendees as well as a collection of art, home decor, pottery, accessories, furniture and more.

Fair Haven is an organization that strives to serve others going through difficult times. Diann Luebker, Parisian Flea Market Chair, said: “Fair Haven serves to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ during the storms of serious health issues and offers housing to patients and their families at no charge.”

The organization calls itself the “home away from home.” This home allows out-of-town patients to receive the sometimes urgent care that is needed while keeping families together during a difficult time.

Luebker’s role is to facilitate the creation of the event while also cultivating relationships

Fringe revisited - Theatergoers who couldn’t hit every show during the IndyFringe Festival in August can come to “Fringe Revisited” from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 3 at Nickel Plate Arts, 107 S. Eighth St., Noblesville. Actors will perform three (and maybe more) one-person shows in the gallery for free. Jason Adams stars in “Bear Fights and Balloon Flights.” Casey Ross stars in “Queue,” in which you’ll meet William H. Byle, who is going insane right before your eyes.

What people want to eat and drink Tailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Last week we answered the age-old question about what to serve as your main course in warm weather. Your overwhelming choice was the sandwich, and your favorite sandwich was a sausage, namely a bratwurst. Let’s move on to something sweet.

As we’ve said before, for more than 20 years we have surveyed football game parking lots and on our web site about what people want for a warm weather desert.

Bars are the favorite tailgate desert for the simple reason you don’t need a fork, spoon, plate or bowl to eat them. You can just hold them in your hand and still feel like you’re eating pie or cake. Another reason is that one doesn’t feel the guilt when consuming numerous bars from a large tray as he or she would requesting a second slice of pie or piece of cake.

Since everybody loves carrot cake, here is a bar to please.

Carrot Cake Bars Ingredients: 1 cup Flour, 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour, 1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder, 1/2 tsp. Salt, 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans, 3/4 cup Canola Oil, 1 cup packed Light Brown Sugar, 2 large Eggs, 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract, 2 cups Carrots, cut into 1/2-inch piece, Frosting: 6 oz. softened Cream Cheese, 1 cup Confectioners’ Sugar sifted, 1 tbsp. fresh Lemon Juice, 1/2 tsp. Grated Nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract, 2 tbsp. finely-chopped Pecans Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 13x9-inch baking dish. Combine flours, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg

and salt in a large bowl; add the pecans and stir to blend. Place the oil, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in the bowl of your food processor and process until blended. Then gradually add the carrots through the feed tube while the motor is running, processing the mixture until the carrots are finely chopped. Pour the carrot mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well mixed. Spread the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the sides and you can place a tooth pick into the middle and it comes out dry.

Cool on a wire rack. To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Then add the lemon juice, nutmeg and vanilla. Spread the frosting over the cooled bars and then sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cut into bars and decorate each with an orange icing carrot with green icing leaves. For a “school spirit” option, decorate each bar with a team “letter” symbol, like an “H” for Harvard or “P” for Packers.

Festival celebrates 15th anniversary

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For the 15th consecutive year, the Hamilton County Parks & Recreation Dept. will transform the usual tranquil Potter’s Bridge Park, 19401 N. Allisonville Rd., Noblesville, into a lively parks festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 5.

Guests of the Potter’s Bridge Fall Festival can listen to live music, visit the art and craft booths, take their little ones to the kids’ area, and enjoy the natural scenery of Noblesville’s most scenic park on the White River Greenway Trail – all for free.

“There are festivals throughout the county and country, but there is something very special in having vendors in view of the historic Potter’s Bridge,” said Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls of the HCPR dept. “The ambience, people can go and enjoy the fair or the park and scenery itself.”

Nicholls said the festival will include more than 70 vendors with a wide variety of products, entertainment and food.

“We have all the returning favorites people have come to know and love,” he said. “The artisans are very proud of what they manufacture and craft.”

Vendors range from oil paintings to custom jewelry made out of flatware to furniture.

“It’s all the interesting things you can’t get in the regular retail stores,” said Nicholls. “It’s truly a great blend of arts and crafts.”

Arts and craft vendors fill the outside and inside of Potter’s Bridge during the annual fall festival.

Organizers said more than 70 vendors will attend this year’s event. (File photo)

In addition to vendors, the festival will include a kids’ zone with a bounce house and good-sized playground. Nicholls said on a good day the festival has 3,000 guests.

“We have a wonderful momentum and a rich history,” he said. “It’s easy for us to promote to vendors. It’s a testament to the popularity and turnout. The wide range adds to the success, enjoyment and interest for this fair.”

Nicholls said live music will be provided by local blues and folk band, Philadelphia Phil.

“We’d like them to move around the festival grounds so all vendors and guess can enjoy it,” he said. “It also helps change the traffic patterns of guests too.”

The event will be held rain or shine. For more information or to vend or volunteer at next year’s festival, call 770-4400 or visit myhamiltoncountyparks.com.

Knights team up for charities

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com When the wind starts to chill and the leaves start to fall, that’s how everyone knows it’s almost time for Oktoberoktoberfest fest. And for the St. Alphonsus Liguori Knights of Columbus Council #12510, this is a time for giving back.

The group’s fifth annual Oktoberfest and charity raffle starts at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 4, on the campus of the Catholic church, at 1870 W. Oak St. This year’s Oktoberfest Chairman, Andy Auersch, said that they are expecting folks from all around the county to attend.

“We started this as a way to raise funds for local charities,” Auersch said. “And apart from our golf outing which is in the spring, this is another way for us to help feed the community.”

Funds raised will go towards the Zionsville Food Pantry and The Caring Center, two organizations that Auersch said the knights work closely with year-round, especially at a critical time when supplies are low and they are seeking to stock up in time to for the holidays the organizations are at their busiest.

Auersch said that rain or shine, a traditional German Festhalle, or tent, will be in the church parking lot. Admission is $5 and all adults age 21 years and older are invited. Booklets with tickets can be purchased, and these tickets can

be used for food and drink purchases. Auersch said the bratwursts and chicken plates will essentially be $8 in tickets, beer will be $5 and wine will be $4.

“The nice thing for people to know is that every dollar you spend actually goes to the charities,” Auersch said. “That’s kind of a cool aspect and we hope people might spend more than they would otherwise if they know that every dollar is going to help feed families. For example, a $5 beer might provide milk for one family.”

In previous years, more than 600 people have attended this event.

There will be foods such as homemade bratwurst and chicken, along with traditional German Oktoberfest brews, a festive biergarten, stein-holding competitions, dancing and live music supplied by the Alpine Express Band.

Desserts from Confectioneiress Cupcakes and My Sweetie Pie are being donated, and will be available to purchase as well.

For more information visit, www.stalkofc. com.

Family Pumpkinfest • Hours before the 21-and-older Oktoberfest at St. Alphonsus, there is a family event for those of all ages.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 4, the church’s annual Pumpkinfest will take place in the athletic fields. This event is free, including free hayrides, hotdogs and pumpkin decorating, but donations will be accepted.

4-H gives back with holiday party

Capacity limited.) *Black Hat Bash ticket includes one admission to the Haunted House valid during the Black Hat Bash or Oct. 11–31, 2014.

Weeks before the actual night of haunting, the annual 4-H Junior Leaders Community Halloween Party provides a safe envihalloween ronment for trick-or-treating, carnival games, treats, hayrides and more. The free party is 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 7 in the Exhibition Center of the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

“It’s a fun way to community service,” 4-H Ag/ Youth Program Assistant Lisa Hanni said.

This is the third year the event will be held in the Exhibition Center.

“It helps with the flow,” Hanni said. “We have been able to add more carnival games with the extra space which has cut down on the length of lines that the kids have to stand in to participate in each activity.”

Hanni said a new addition this year is a photo booth.

“We’ll put up a black curtain and put Happy Halloween on it,” she said. “All families want to take pictures of their kids dressed up. This is a photo opportunity for them. We thought that it would be fun.”

Youth ages 10 and under are invited to come in costume and enjoy games, prizes, candy and refreshments, a haunted barn and a hayride.

Hayrides start at 6 p.m. and a costume contest will begin at 7:30 p.m. Hanni said there are three age groups (0-3, 4-6 and 7-10) with awards for scariest, cutest and most original. There also is a category for families that come dressed as a group.

“We offer this as a free event for families which includes hayrides, carnival games, refreshments and a haunted house,” Hanni said.

“Everyone is allowed to participate in the activities as many times as they wish. We do ask that children need to be chaperoned.”

Cash, left, and Cooper Ahnert take their turn at the lollipop pull game last year. (File photo)

Hanni estimated the event has 300 children each year.

The evening is organized and sponsored by the Hamilton County 4-H Jr. Leaders, who also hold an annual community Easter egg hunt in the spring. Hanni said funds to host the free events were raised from the Jr. Leaders poinsettia sale and soda stand during the summer’s 4-H Fair.

“They take some of their proceeds from their concession stand sales during the 4-H Fair to support this event,” she said. “It’s a way for the Jr. Leaders to give back to the community.”

As much fun as the event is for community children, Hanni said the party is a learning experience for Jr. Leaders, who run the carnival games and plan, construct and man the haunted barn.

“Whether they are the chairman or leading a game, it’s a great opportunity for the students to show their leadership and organization skills,” she said. “It is fun to watch them grow from this and other Jr. Leaders experiences. You see them become more outgoing, come out of their shell.”

Annual Medicare enrollment period tips

Commentary by Bob Adams

I was visiting with a wonderful lady in Sheridan to help her understand her Medicare options. The business part of our discusinsurance sion took about 30 minutes.

However, after discussing family, farm and apple pie she told me something I’ll never forget. She was nervous about inviting me into her home because I might try to pressure her into buying something. After she told me this, she then told me, “but you turned out OK.” That was nice to hear and I told her I was going to rush home and call my mother and let her know “I turned out OK.” Her concerns are real because there are agents with one thing on their mind, making a sale. With the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period approaching, you may need help. How do you know who to trust? Here are some tips: 1. Ask your friends for a referral.

2. Don’t call from a TV ad. You won’t get an unbiased view.

3. Don’t ask questions online. You’ll get calls for weeks.

4. If you are talking to an agent, ask them who they represent. It is best if you work with an agent that represents multiple companies.

5. If an agent starts bashing other companies tell them goodbye.

6. Ask how long they’ve been in the senior

health market. Be leery of anyone who has limited experience. This is your health we are talking about.

7. An agent may have to ask about assets like life insurance, but Medicare does not allow an agent to present a Medicare plan and sell other insurances in the same visit.

8. A good agent will take the time to make sure you are in the right place. I call it “due diligence.” They will check networks and drug formulary. These agents care about you.

9. Medicare requires an agent to get permission called a Scope of Appointment,

prior to showing you a Medicare program.

Without that, you should not be discussing anything.

Be cautious this AEP (Annual Enrollment Period). If you consider these tips, perhaps you too will be able to say of the agent visiting you, they turned out OK. Bob Adams is an independent insurance agent at Robert Adams Insurance. He may be contacted at 4023171 or adams.ins@comcast.net.

How 2015 changes will affect you Commentary by Frank Gordon

LEARN TO LOVE YOUR HOME AGAIN. Covering the latest kitchen and bathroom design, tips, and trends, our educational seminars will show you how to rekindle the warmth and beauty of your home..

“How might 2015 Medicare changes affect my bottom line?” you may ask. There is a lot of talk these days about the current medicare ins and outs of Medicare. Many more Americans are affected this year, and your family’s unique circumstances require careful planning. You can best benefit from expert guidance via a knowledgeable independent insurance agent.

The Medicare program, with an estimated more than 50 million Americans currently enrolled, dates back to 1965. Created by the U.S. Social Security Administration, it reimburses hospitals and physicians for medical care provided to qualifying people 65 and older.

The four parts of Medicare include: • Part A – Hospital Coverage: free and covers inpatient care in skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, hospice and home health care.

• Part B – Doctor Coverage: based on income levels, covers outpatient care, doctor’s services, physical or occupational therapists, and additional home health care.

• Part C – (often called Medicare Advantage) offers a combination of both Medicare Parts

A and B: is provided by private insurance companies, and has deductibles, co-pays and provider networks. Consumers should keep careful track of rates and coverage yearly; while these plans expose one to more out of pocket costs, they can be significantly less expensive • Part D – Drug Coverage: offers prescription drug coverage insurance. Plans vary, but all medically necessary drugs are covered. If you don’t elect Part D coverage initially you may end up paying a penalty if you change your mind.

While lots of choices are generally a good thing for your bottom line, this year’s Medicare tweaks make finding the right plan for your personal situation far from a one-size-fits-all proposition. There are plenty of plans for all needs and budgets, beginning with zero dollar out-of-pocket plans for Hamilton County residents. Seek out an experienced independent insurance agent to help you determine your best options.

Tax abatement ‘win-win’

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Westfield City Council has successfully attracted Carrington Mortgage Services to the city along with 180 jobs government and potential for another 360. The economic impact of those jobs is more than $30 million in annual salaries without benefits. On Sept. 22, the Westfield City Council approved a five-year, 100 percent personal property tax abatement for Carrington Mortgage as part of its incentive.

Background – Earlier this month, Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC, a mortgage origination and servicing company, announced plans to expand its operations in Central Indiana. The business will move into the longtime vacant home of former Verizon headquarters, 19845 U.S. 31 North.

The company will invest $3.17 million to renovate and 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.

What it means for Carrington Mortgage?

For each of the five years, 100 percent of the personal property taxes assessed on the property will be abated. The total investment in personal property for new IT equipment is $1.128 million.

What it means for Westfield? Carrington Mortgage plans to relocate approximately 180 individuals to Westfield with aggregate annual salaries totaling $11.232 million. The company also plans to hire 360 new individuals through 2019.

Officials said the average wage is $26 per hour without benefits and a combined annual salary of approximately $19.5 million. No new infrastructure is expected to be installed using taxpayers funds.

What’s next? This resolution is in effect immediately from its adoption on Sept. 22.

Retirement myths exposed

Commentary by Adam Cmeijla

In My Sept. 16 column I wrote about the first three retirement myths: finance • “When I’m retired, I won’t really have to invest anymore.”

• “My taxes will be lower when I retire.”

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

Here are others I would like to refute: “I should help my kids with college costs before I retire.” That’s a nice thought, but remember, there is no retiree “financial aid.” Your student can work, save or borrow to pay for the cost of college, with decades ahead to pay back any loans. You can’t go to the bank and get a “retirement loan.” Putting your financial needs above theirs is fair and smart as you approach retirement.

“No one really retires anymore.” Most people that enjoy what they do would like to continue to do it in some capacity. What if you can’t, though? What if your employer shocks you and suddenly lets you go? What if your health won’t let you work 40 hours or even 10 hours a week? Wanting to work and being able to work

are two different things.

“I’ll live on less when I’m retired.” We all have the cliché in our minds of a retired couple in their seventies or eighties living modestly, hardly eating out and asking about senior discounts.

In the later phase of retirement, couples often choose to live on less, sometimes out of necessity. The initial phase of retirement may be a different story. For many, the first few years of retirement mean traveling, new adventures, and “living it up” a little – all of which may mean new retirees may actually “live on more” out of the retirement gate.

There is no “generic” retirement experience, and therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all retirement plan. With that said, everyone still needs a plan. As is true with this (and most other things in life): fail to plan…plan to fail.

Medinet Habu: Philistines in Egypt Commentary by Don Knebel

The well-preserved mortuary temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu celebrated the pharaoh’s earthly achievements and travel allowed priests to nourish his soul so he could live forever as a god.

The temple is best known for wall carvings providing information about the Philistines, nemeses of the ancient Israelites.

Ramses III ruled Egypt from 1186 B.C. until his death in 1155 B.C. Colorful columns in the hypostyle hall of his 150-meter-long temple near Luxor show Ramses among the gods. Statues in a courtyard portray him as Osiris, god of the afterlife. Wall carvings show him delivering enemies to Amun, Egypt’s highest god at the time.

The most famous carvings are on the north exterior wall. They portray Ramses, bow stretched, and his troops battling a confederation of invading “sea people,” predominantly people the Egyptians called “Pelesets” and the Bible calls “Philistines.” The carvings show the Philistines riding three-man chariots pulled by two horses, wielding double-edged swords and long spears, carrying round shields and wearing feathered headdresses. According to the hieroglyphic account, Ramses defeated the invaders, taking many of them prisoner. The carvings also

show women and children in ox carts, suggesting an entire population on the move.

Most scholars believe the sea people described at Medinet Habu left the Aegean Sea area in about 1200 B.C. for reasons unknown and sought to settle in Egypt. After Ramses III beat them back, they moved into nearby areas. The Philistines took what is now the Gaza Strip area along the eastern Mediterranean coast. According to the Bible, as the Israelites entered their Promised Land they stayed clear of the Philistines, apparently because of their superior iron weapons and fighting skill. The Philistines later moved aggressively into Israel’s heartland until young David killed their champion Goliath and they retreated to five cities along the coast.

The Philistines are remembered today in the name “Palestine,” first used by Herodotus in the fifth century B.C. to describe the area that is now Israel. They are also remembered on the wall at Medinet Habu for battles that help shed light on much more recent events.

How shall we slay thee?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer “Why does the media keep using the word ‘slain?’ Why are they sensationalizing this story?

It was just an accident!”

Admittedly these grammar guy questions weren’t really posed to me, but I’ve decided to co-opt them for official Grammar Guy purposes. Great artists steal, and all that.

The story in question involves the recent death of a firing range instructor from an accidental shooting involving a 9-year-old girl at the range. The particular headline read something like, “Family of slain gun instructor reaches out to girl.”

Now, tragedy of the story aside, many commentators took issue with the word “slain,” suggesting that it overdramatized what was essentially an accident. There are two sides to the argument, and I find myself sympathetic to both.

Does “slay” not work? You would be hard pressed, I think, to argue that a word meaning “to kill by violence” is not appropriate in the case of a shooting death – no matter how accidental.

Sudden, penetrating trauma is quintessentially

violent. I would further offer that “killed” makes an awkward adjective.

Everything being fine on paper, notwithstanding, the issue is obviously one of connotation and denotation. The denotation of “slain” – killed by violent means – does not jibe with the connotation readers ascribe to the word, namely, “murdered.”

This is the sort of tricky language issue that you can argue until you’re red in the face about and, while you might be technically right, you may still fail in the ultimate goal of language: to communicate accurately your thoughts to another person. That is why, especially with loaded words, you must always be cognizant of the emotional baggage a word or phrase can carry above and beyond its dictionary entry. There is using a word correctly, and then there is using a word appropriately. Pick your battles as you see fit.

Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

Lifestyle inflation - Numerous studies support the notion that as incomes rise, so does the tendency to spend, not save. A Federal Reserve report found, that less than half of Americans earning between $75,000 and $99,999 saved any money whatsoever - and as many as 16 percent of those within that income bracket actually went into debt. A recent Brookings Institute study found that families stuck living paycheck to paycheck are actually twice as likely to be solidly middle class than low-income. Source: www.forbes.com

Upholstery fabrics 101 Commentary by Vicky Earley OK, you are ready to admit that the sofa that has survived years of kids, pets, and overnight guests is looking a bit hagdecorating gard. If it was a quality piece to begin with, it is probably time to consider new upholstery fabric.

Selecting the right textile requires far more than just picking a pattern that suits your taste.

A while back I was shown a fabric that a client had hoped to use to recover her sofa. The fabric was purchased from a bolt at a local fabric store. It met her requirement for color and pattern but she wanted my blessing before moving forward.

Without saying a word, I took her swatch and with just a few scrapes of a fingernail, I was able to dig a hole in the fabric.

Needless to say, this was not a textile suitable for upholstery usage. It might have worked for a drapery application but it would have been a complete disaster had she moved forward with this for an upholstery application.

First and foremost, fabrics have to withstand the lifestyle of those who live in the home. They are typically made of durable fibers, are tightly woven, and often backed with latex for stability.

The durability of an upholstery candidate is indicated by a “double rub factor.” This is also referred to as the Wyzenbeek factor which is a testing system that indicates the ability of a fabric to resist surface wear caused by the friction of rubbing with another surface (15,000 double rubs is considered the minimum for heavy duty upholstery usage).

Fiber blends tend to be some of the most desirable for upholstery use as the negative features of a fiber can be neutralized by the positive nature of another fiber. Linen tends to wrinkle

when it stands alone but when blended with polyester, it is far more wrinkle resistant. Pure polyester can have a garish sheen while a bit of cotton added to the mix can tone it down and create a beautiful textile blend.

Upholstery is intended for long term use so the pattern is important to consider. A floral or plaid can overwhelm a room and dictate the design direction for many years. A solid or texture will, typically, provide more flexibility over time.

Accent pillows and smaller pieces of furniture tend to work well with heavy patterns as they can be easily changed as tastes change.

While there are dual use fabrics, upholstery grade textiles might work for hard window treatments such as cornice boards are often too heavy for normal drapery application. Ideal drapery fabrics require a level of “drapability.”

The drapability of a fabric is referred to as “the hand.” The hand simply means how the textile feels when touched and how it drapes over the hand when held.

Here’s how to create new views from multi-level porch Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL DECK/PATIO: This home, located in West Carmel, was built in 2004. “Our original deck was showing blueprint for signs of rot and was improvement no longer safe. Instead of just replacing the deck, we decided to fulfill our dream of adding on a screened-in-porch off the kitchen in addition to a covered porch off our master bedroom.”

The multi-level addition includes a spacious screened-in porch for outdoor dining, a cozy seating area and a covered porch for relaxation.

MAIN-LEVEL SCREENED PORCH: Set on a new concrete pier foundation, the 250-square-foot porch features many design elements giving a cohesive look with the rest of the home. Arched screen window openings were chosen to complement the existing windows. Trex decking in a “Rope Swing” color was selected to blend with the home’s existing trim color while white balusters add contrast. Dimmable recessed can lighting and a ceiling fan were installed in the bead board ceiling. A full view screen door was installed providing passage to the side deck and staircase.

STAIRCASE & SEATING AREA DETAILS: Trex decking was installed on the landing, staircase and side deck. Recessed deck lighting and stair riser lights were installed to aid evening entertainment.

before & after

RESULT: “Our favorite part is our covered porch off the master bedroom. We love to open the French doors and let the breeze flow in. We start our days on the upper porch with a cup of coffee and end the day to read and relax.”

UPPER-LEVEL PORCH: French doors with sidelights were installed creating an outdoor extension off the master bedroom. As opposed to decking, 12-by-24-inch outdoor tile in a “Madison Camel” color was used for the porch flooring.

The outdoor tile not only gives the space an elegant look, but also helps weatherproof the porch below.

Brushed nickel sconce lighting was installed on the support columns to create an indoor style. Consistent with the main-level porch, a ceiling fan was installed in the painted beaded plywood ceiling.
