Westfield Washington Schools’ enrollment rising

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield Washington Schools’ enrollment has grown again, as predicted.

The enrollment for the 2017-18 school year is 7,845, more than 300 students from the 2016-17 total of 7,510 and nearly 700 more education than the 2015-16 total of 7,164.

“We use these numbers to update that forecast annually,” WWS Supt. Sherry Grate said Sept. 21 during a State of the Schools program at the Westfield Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Bridgewater Club in Carmel.

Grate said a comprehensive facilities study was done to guide the needs of what she describes as the fastest growing district in the state. That led to the schools’ capital referendum, which passed in May. Grate “We forecast to grow another 350 students at our intermediate school, 350 at our middle school and up to 1,000 students at our high school in the next five to 10 years,” Grate said. “The (construction) projects allow us to address the growth in enrollment. They allow us to expand curriculum opportunities for our students that have already been introduced, or they could be new to the system.”

Grate said the district wants to break ground on the intermediate and middle school next spring. Joe Montalone, WWS director of operations, said construction at the high school will likely follow six to nine months later.

“We’re in the schematic design process right now,” Montalone said. “We are literally getting thoughts and needs on paper with the architects and working with the construction firm, Skillman Corp., so it’s a process that will take us another three months before we look at bidding. It’s still in the infancy stage.”

A strategic planning committee team of staff and community stakeholders was formed during the 2016-17 school year. Grate said the mission was to educate the community on the various aspects of the system and get some feedback on things to consider as part of the district’s planning.

“One thing that came out is our mission and how we were going to start building our educational atmosphere for our students that will help them focus on growing socially, emotionally and academically and not for our future but for theirs,” Grate said. “The hardest thing about planning in education now is how will education look in five years, 10 years, 20 years.

We want to be as forward-thinking as we possibly can to better prepare our students for the future.”

Grate said each of the elementary schools added STEM teachers this school year.

Grate said the district is looking at expanding its fine arts and performing arts program.

“That is feedback we heard from the community,” Grate said. “The high school is focused on developing three major pathways, construction, hospitality and innovation.”

Grate said coffee talks will be held at various times of the day for questions from the community.

“We hope this will open the dialogue for people in the community to come and share their thoughts and ideas,” Grate said.

The school website has recently added a podcast, Inside the Rock. For more, visit k12.in.us.

Food Rescue celebrates 10 years

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County-based Food Rescue on Sept. 20 celebrated 10 years of securing unused food from school cafeterias and serving families in giving back need. The organization serves all public schools in Hamilton County and more than 500 schools nationwide.

“We looked back on our history,” Lead Program Director Jennifer Carmack-Brilliant said. “We started out as an organization that rescued food from restaurants, and in 2014 we turned our attention to the astronomical waste happening in school cafeterias. We focused on grades K through 12. We partner schools with carrying agencies to food pantries to rescue unopened, unwanted items from student trays.

“We have a very strong presence in Hamilton County, and in some of our schools, Westfield Washington in particular and Zionsville schools as well, our life skills students are using food rescue as a unique application of the life skills program,” Carmack-Brilliant said. “These are kids who normally aren’t thought of being able to volunteer or help when in fact they’re very able, and through Food Rescue they are finding empowerment as well as being

Commissioners’ response to Fred Glynn

Commentary by Hamilton County Commissioners Christine Altman, Mark Heirbrandt and Steven Dillinger news@currentinwestfield.com

Once again, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners are writing in response to an article submitted by county councilman Fred Glynn regarding the op-ed Hamilton County Jail Complex Solar Project.

We believe that the readers of Current publications are entitled to complete and accurate facts to determine if a statesanctioned, guaranteed energy contract, generating an estimated net savings of more than $12,500,000 over 25 years (with guaranteed savings backed up by an energy performance bond by one of the top five bonding companies in the world), is a good investment.

We also must admit that although we try very hard to be proactive, we are unfortunately not psychic and cannot predict actions of the Indiana General Assembly.

Utilities are the county’s second-highest expense, right behind our employee salaries/benefits. As the executive body, the commissioners are always looking for opportunities to save money and reduce our risk of future expenditures. The commissioners began exploring energy savings opportunities for our buildings in 2013 and implemented several cost-savings improvements. These improvements have resulted in energy savings of $225,000 per year by installing new interior and exterior LED lighting, efficient Direct Digital Control systems with night setback as well as heating and cooling system upgrades.

The Jail Complex Solar Project is not a new concept – we explored it with county

council in 2015. Everyone agreed that the Solar Project was not a good investment at that time in that it did not generate a sufficient rate of return. Three important things have changed since 2015 (and our March joint meeting with county council), which make the Solar Project extremely beneficial and which have accelerated the timeline for installation.

1. The technology and the capacity of the solar panels have been significantly improved and electric rates continue to escalate.

2. April 25, 2017 the Indiana General Assembly passed SB 309 reducing net metering from 30 years to 15 years.

Solar projects installed by Dec. 31, 2017 avoid the reduction and receive the 30-year net metering. If this project continues to be delayed past the end of the year, the county will lose $2,889,000.

3. Tariff petitions pending before the International Trade Commission, if passed before the purchase of the panels, will increase the cost of the Solar Project by $1,200,000.

The utility savings generated will pay the capital cost of the Solar Project in less than 10 years. These funds are already in the county utility budgets, and the Solar Project will not result in a tax increase, but rather a net savings. The other benefit is that the county would be taking control of its energy use and avoid future utility increases It is important to note that the county council approved the Energy Services Agreement for the solar project on Sept. 13 by a 6-1 vote. It’s unfortunate that councilman Glynn was the only “no” vote.

In closing, I’d like to reflect on my fond memories interacting with young people and our future leaders at the Statehouse.

A longstanding tradition in the General Assembly is our page program, which allows young Hoosiers to visit the General Assembly during session and see firsthand how policy is made. In the last 10 years, I have had a particularly high page participation rate.

In addition to meeting with the pages, I have also worked with interns since I started in the Senate. One of my favorite traditions is hosting the intern class every year at my home.

In 1999, I began the Luke Kenley Leadership Conference. Every year, I invited students from schools located in Senate District 20 to attend a conference at the Statehouse and learn about state and local government and leadership.

In meeting with so many young people, I have seen the energy and optimism they have to make Indiana an even better place. Now and in the future, Hoosiers are in great hands. My colleagues and I have worked to build a strong foundation for our state to continue to grow and develop, making Indiana a great place to live, work and raise a family.

I am proud to have been a state legislator. I am proud to be a Hoosier.

SPRINGS: a heavy gauge steel spring system provide the base for a wonderfully comfortable and long-lasting seat and should be placed 4”-5” apart to withstand the wear and tear that comes from everyday use. What type of spring system does your sofa have?

CUSHIONS: cushion cores should be made with eco-friendly, high-resiliency foam and wrapped with a polyester fiber wrap for surface softness and shape. Down feather jackets are also available. Ask your designer how long is the cushion warranty?

FRAMES: constructed of furniture grade laminates and solid kiln-dried hardwoods must be built to last.

Mortise and tenon, double dowel and corner block construction should be added to provide solid long lasting joints. Ask your retailer does the frame have a lifetime warranty? How are the corners built?

So you’re ready to buy. Look for a store with degreed designers, free interior designer service and clear pricing. Be leary of retailers that offer 50% to 70% sales, you will often be over paying. Look for a retailer that is looking to help you get the right sofa at the best price every day.

A new church bell tower under construction at St. Maria Goretti’s Catholic Church and School is ahead of schedule. A plan for church the tower has been in the works since the church was constructed.

“Since we built the church more than a decade ago, it has always been (SMG’s) vision to have the tower,” said Kevin Muller, SMG’s director of ministry and operations.

Late last year, thanks in part to donations from the community and others, church leaders discussed building the new tower with available funds.

“We received a large donation last year, just to go towards construction,” Muller said. “We hope to have the (tower) completed by early December.”

The bells are en route from an Italian foundry that has been making bells for more than 1,000 years, Muller said. When the bells arrive, they will be placed in the tower this month.

Church leaders are determined that the tower will be completed in time for a special blessing Dec. 8. The tower is on the southeast corner of the building.

The current tax code is comprised of 74,608 unreadable and too often undecipherable legalistic pages, or op-ed more than 10 million words.

Most novels you might read, for example, run about 200 to 300 pages (62,500 words). This has to change! For personal income tax reform, President Trump seeks to cut taxes and simplify the tax structure.

President Trump seeks to expand tax benefits for families, including a larger allowable deduction for child care expenses that could be taken whether a taxpayer itemizes or not, and also would be allowed for up to four children (the current law only allows for two children). This is a start. We must lower personal income taxes and provide a code actually capable of being understood. For example, the standard deduction should double to $15,000 (single) and $30,000 (married), from the current levels of $6,350 and $12,700, respectively, thereby helping lower income workers.

I would like to put an exclamation point on the president’s persistent mantra of

jobs, jobs, jobs! Corporate tax reform is just the first step to achieving that growth and opening the door to more business investment in the U.S. We start by encouraging money to return to us. This means a tax cut on businesses that want to move money back into the United States. Currently, American businesses have their hands tied when it comes to competing internationally. Among those nations known as the Group of Seven (Canada, the U.S., Germany, Japan, France, UK, Italy), only the U.S. taxes its business transactions outside the nation twice.

The U.S. is the only nation that uses a worldwide tax system, in which businesses pay the same taxes as do companies in the six nations listed above when conducting business abroad, but the U.S. then imposes taxes on these same profits when the money is returned to the U.S.

Scot and Dawn Pollard of Carmel are both victims of domestic abuse in previous relationships.

(Submitted photo)

Domestic violence may be a taboo subject in Hamilton County, so victims silently suffer throughout

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com He’s a big man with an even bigger personality.

But behind the inventive hairstyles and colorful interviews, former NBA power forward Scot Pollard was hiding a painful secret. For several years, he cover story was a victim of domestic violence.

“For me to come out and finally say – at my size, 7-feet, 300 pounds – I was physically abused in a former relationship, I would think that anybody could say, ‘Wow, if he can say that, it can happen to anyone,’” he said. “I’ve been to bars and people are scared to attack me because of my size, but I was hit, kicked, slapped, punched, had things thrown at me and things used to hit me in my sleep.”

Pollard, who lives near the Carmel/Zionsville border and played for the Indiana Pacers from 2003 to 2006, may seem an unlikely target, but stories like his are probably more common than most people realize. A 2013 study by the Avon Foundation for Women concludes that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lives.

Domestic violence is more than just physical assaults. It can include emotional, verbal, sexual and financial abuse, and it affects people of all races, incomes and education levels.

Noblesville-based Prevail, Hamilton County’s only nonprofit organization dedicated to serving victims of crime and abuse, served nearly 3,000 people in 2016, and nearly half the issues they addressed Ferguson involved domestic abuse. Males made up approximately 22 percent of people seeking services at Prevail last year.

“I’m sure you know somebody who is a victim of domestic violence,” said Susan Ferguson, executive director of Prevail. “They may or may not have told you that yet, but you know someone.”

Financially rich, resource poor

ties, and that’s what keeps it quiet,” he said. “People think it doesn’t happen as much, but I’m betting it does.”

Such was the case for Sarah Hutchinson, who was living in a five-bedroom Zionsville home when she met the man who is now her ex-husband. She described him as romantic and charismatic when they first met, and she didn’t worry when he invested the money from the sale of her house into his properties and combined their bank accounts, making her an “authorized-user” only – signs of potential financial abuse and a desire to control.

During the next few years, the relationship gradually eroded into one of verbal and physical abuse. She pretended everything was fine, wearing sweaters at the country club in June to cover her bruises. But when she began fearing for her life, Hutchinson left with her two special needs children and $20 in her pocket.

“I had always been that mom that was stuffing backpacks for children who couldn’t afford them, then all of a sudden I’m standing (in a shelter) with my children because I didn’t have access to my funds for 12 months,” she said.

Now a Westfield resident, Hutchinson, who received help from Prevail, frequently shares her story to let other victims know there is hope.

Although slightly more than half of Prevail’s clients in 2016 reported an income of less than $25,000 per year, Ferguson said victims from wealthy households are underrepresented and much less likely to seek support at Prevail or elsewhere, in part because less help is available.

“There’s fewer resources available for victims of domestic violence here (in Hamilton County),” Ferguson said.

Mary-Margaret Sweeney, director of community engagement at Indianapolisbased Domestic Violence Network, said low-income victims are often already connected to social services through public housing or the welfare system. For many Hamilton County residents who become victims of domestic violence, they might Sweeney not know where to turn.

“If you are that stereotypical Carmel housewife, you don’t have a case manager checking on you,” she said.

She also said some victims are discouraged from seeking help because of how it could affect their children.

Westfield – 13 percent “If you leave and you get Carmel – 20 percent custody of your kids, they don’t get to go to the nice school anymore or play on the travel sports team anymore,” Sweeney said.

Pollard, 42, who lived in several affluent neighborhoods throughout the U.S. during his NBA career, said he’s known other wealthy victims who were afraid or unwilling to seek help.

“There’s that stigma of Fishers – 21 percent perfection people strive to attain in affluent communi-

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Prevail has created the month-long Go Purple campaign to educate community members on how they can help. In addition to selling purple products to raise funds and spread awareness, Prevail is highlighting its Bystander Intervention program, which explains techniques for responding to various levels of witnessed abuse, and the 100 Men Campaign, which seeks to identify 100 men who will serve as role models and publicly take a stand against domestic abuse.

Sweeney said community members can assist in many ways, from being available for victims making a difficult transition to thinking about the issue in a new way.

For those experiencing domestic violence, Prevail and DVN aim to offer victims the help they need, whenever they need it. Leaving an abusive relationship can be emotionally challenging, but that’s also the point when domestic homicide goes up 75 percent, Sweeney said, so victims need to have a thorough plan and support system in place.

Pollard, who is now happily married to a woman who is also a survivor of domestic violence from a previous relationship, said his message to people suffering like he once did is to find a safe way to get out – no matter how hard it might be.

“If you ever want a chance at real happiness, you’ve got to suffer some short-term sadness,” he said. “That’s hard, but it’s short-term sadness that is going to lead to a lifetime where I don’t have to be in a relationship where I’m scared I might get killed or beat up. I sleep a lot better now.”

How to help

If you discover that someone you know is in an abusive relationship, there are several ways to help. For more, visit thehotline.org/ help/help-for-friends-and-family.

• Acknowledge that they are in a very difficult and scary situation, be supportive and listen • Be non-judgmental • If they end the relationship, continue to be supportive of them • Encourage them to participate in activities outside of the relationship with family and friends • Help them develop a safety plan • Encourage them to talk to people who can provide help and guidance • Remember that you cannot “rescue” them *Source: The National Domestic Violence Hotline

justice for all For Scot Pollard, the decision to share his painful past is a search for justice – for himself and other men.

Not only is it extremely difficult for men to admit that they’ve been victims of domestic violence because of the male ego, he said, but the legal system doesn’t treat them the same way it treats women who have suffered abuse.

“If I had done what was done to me, I’d have done serious jail time, and rightfully so,” he said.

Pollard said he called the police twice to report being physically abused. One incident led to his alleged abuser spending two nights in jail, although Pollard ended up dropping the charges. The second time, when he finally decided to end the relationship, he was the one who left the home, not his ex. They have joint custody of their three children, and that’s strained his relationship with his kids, he said, and forced him to remain in Hamilton County.

Pollard admits that his former relationship was fraught with problems. In speaking out about the domestic abuse, he said he also wants to come clean about his infidelity – with former neighbors and others – that contributed to the issues. He met his current wife, Dawn, when he was cheating on his ex, and he believes infidelity is another issue that is all too often swept under the rug in affluent communities.

But neither unfaithfulness nor any other problems give anyone the right to physically harm their partner, Scot Pollard said.

“There are issues in every relationship that can give somebody an excuse to behave a certain way. Everyone has their own coping mechanisms,” he said. “It’s never OK to be violent. It’s just not.”

No Starbucks for parenting

Better living

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Although we all interact with it in almost every aspect of our lives, we rarely stop to take it in. Even if we catch a breath and look around, do we really see what’s there – and perhaps, more importantly, what’s intentionally not there? We could call it the built world. The buildings, landscapes, homes, roadways and all things formed by human hand. As we blithely move from one space to the next, we seldom imagine the intent of those behind the design. Was theirs an entirely practical effort? Or, did they choose the aesthetic? Did they mean to move us to some sort of feeling? Or, did they simply hope to move us from our car to their cash register with minimal effort?

Ours is a blended home. Child, parent and grandparent all share a single space.

Yet each finds his or her own retreat. Sight lines, noise and foot traffic were all considered in its plan. Most wouldn’t notice, yet the effect is surprising. At the office, we blend various functions and personalities into a cohesive and engaging edifice.

We spend a lot of time within the confines of where we toil. Why shouldn’t it be as thoughtfully considered as where we sleep?

Can’t we prepare a place that is simultaneously serviceable and good for the spirit?

Let’s call it better living through architecture. Our surroundings can calm, lift and inspire. Just as quickly, they can irritate, unsettle and provoke. Can a color of paint raise income or lower stress? Perhaps. But ask if a properly arranged environment can increase productivity and satisfaction.

Do we love where we spend our time?

Does it encourage us to be happy? If not, maybe, we should fix it.

Participants see K-9 demonstration Commentary by Anna Skinner During the Sept. 21 Citizen’s Academy class at the Westfield Police Dept., participants observed a live K-9 demonstration.

Officers citizenS’ academy Jeff Swiatkowski and Song Kang presented. Both are K-9 handlers, but only Swiatkowski’s K-9, Lopez, was present.

According to Kang, police departments began using K-9s as early as 1899, but the way departments utilize dogs today has changed.

“They started out with German shepherds, and now you see all kinds of breeds,” Kang said. “Lots has evolved, just like any other training within law enforcement.”

Dogs are chosen based on their drives, specifically their hunt drives. A second drive that officers such as Kang and Swiatkowski require is the fight drive. Lopez identifies objects as prey, such as the WPD’s bite sleeve.

“When you see Lopez come out and I have this sleeve on, I become his prey,” Kang said. “He’s happy because we’re training, and we always let him win. It’s all about having fun and working that drive to our advantage. You’d be amazed at how much these dogs would be willing

to do for us.”

The cost for a single-purpose K-9 ranges from $8,000 to $9,500. A dual-purpose K-9 ranges from $10,000 to $13,000.

Swiatkowski presented on three awards he won at the recent K-9 Olympics at Von Liche Kennels in Denver, Ind. He and Lopez placed third in narcotics, second in three-man team and first in the obstacle course.

Swiatkowski demonstrated a drug search with Lopez during the class and then Kang donned the bite sleeve during the second portion of the demonstrations.

I had a breakthrough in therapy! And by therapy, I mean margaritas with my sisters-in-law. We figured out humor the reason we all prefer to be at work rather than home: We know we’re good at our jobs, but we’re not so sure about this parenting thing.

Case in point, me. I arrive at school at least an hour ahead of time, and if I didn’t have to drive a kid to dance, guard, work, fishing club or violin, I’d probably stay for an hour after. I keep a colorful but organized classroom, am knowledgeable in my content area and on occasion receive Starbucks for my successes. I truly love teaching.

But when I swap that hat for my mom hat, all confidence goes out the window.

Have I been poisoning my children with hormone-laced milk and Kraft preservatives? Am I creating socially inept teenagers by allowing constant access to their Samsungs? Why do I feel so guilty grounding a son for his grades? How did he even get to that point? What if my college freshman starts shooting meth? These are the anxieties that plague me from the moment I walk into my house. It’s exhausting. Add in the physical state of said house, which currently includes an infestation of fruit flies, and you begin to understand my feelings of maternal ineptitude.

Mothers get no accolades, no pats on the back and rarely thank-you gifts of coffee.

And the worst part is, children suck at providing feedback, so we won’t know if we did a good job until it’s too late. This is why I prefer work. And lots of therapy.

Peace out.

James and names

Commentary by Melkote Ramaswamy

Have you heard of Robert Hope, John Carson, James Carter and Richard Cheney?

Think again. These are none other than Bob Hope, the comedian; Johnny Carson, the late night talk show host, Jimmy Carter, the former U.S. president; and Dick Cheney, former vice president under former U.S. president George W. Bush. This simply goes to show that Bob and Robert, John and Johnny, James and Jimmy and Richard and Dick do not register identically.

Pat, Mel, Sam, Joe, Sandy, Chris—you can’t tell if these refer to men or women by just hearing their names unless you spell them out in full to distinguish Patrick from Patricia, Melvin from Melissa, Samuel form Samantha, Joseph from Josephine and Christopher from Christina. Further, you have to spell out to differentiate Marion from MaryAnn, Toni from Tony, Bobby from Bobbie, Billie from Billy, Jean from Gene and Gerri from Jerry.

One rule that seems to be obeyed fairly well is that you can make a last name out of a first name by simply adding ‘s,’ as in

Johns, Roberts, Richards, Edwards, Philips and Rogers. I have yet to come across Josephs or Ronalds.

For reasons only they know, some people prefer to be called by their middle names.

My former Johns Hopkins classmates, D. Ronald Tilley and N. Russel Roberson, are glaring examples. John F. Kennedy without the middle initial somehow looks incomplete. Some folks want to be called by their initials. Don’t ask what J.R. or E.R. stand for.

Singer Cliff Richards and TV actor John James are examples of combined first and last names—call them combos.

Some names are versatile and can be first or last names, as in Rose and Kay. Does Al stand for Allen, Alfred, Albert, Alfonso? Perhaps all of them.

If this is all confusing and confounding, you simply haven’t heard a South Indian name.

R EADE R ’ S V I EW What happened to good manners?

Editor, I was just reading Current (Sept. 5) when I reached Danielle Wilson’s column. I always read it because her writing is funny ‌ sometimes. I always wonder what the household is like because of her quirkiness.

Today, I thought she would end with something funny about the word insufferable pertaining to her daughter. Instead

she used it on our president. Disagree with him if you must, but spewing about him in the last paragraph of her column is disrespectful and not necessary. Name calling, abuse of her public writing (as many media are doing) and sophomoric thoughts has brought this reader to the end of reading her column.

The truth about lying Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’m a liar. A no-good, rotten liar. This became obvious to me when I wrote a column about vacationing in Banff, humor Canada (that location was accurate). I related how I sent my digital camera through the security scanner (totally factual). And how it was stolen when I left it behind in the tray (correct, again).

I had the best intentions of simply writing about how careless I am with my things. Basically, what a loser I am. But when I got back from the trip I ran into my neighbor, George.

“How was your trip, Dick?” he asked.

“Oh, it was fantastic—except my camera was stolen.”

“What a shame. And with all your photos, huh?”

“It’s OK—the thief emailed me the pictures.”

I don’t know where that crazy idea came from. It just slid out of my mouth. It wasn’t an exaggeration, it was a bold-faced fabrication. With that, George got hysterical.

And I’m so addicted to hearing the sound of people laughing at stuff I say and do, I left

it at that.

When I sat down that night to write my weekly column, I actually started to believe the whole thing myself. If you repeat something enough times, you start thinking it’s true. Just ask any politician.

In my column, I even included a bogus email from the thief who supposedly stole my camera. I had already entered the dark side—why not get a few additional laughs in the process?

After the column was published, I received this email: Dear Dick, Witty as always. We love the honesty in your writing.

The guilt is killing me. I just hope the person who stole my camera reads this column and has the decency to actually email me my pictures. I don’t care about the stupid photos; I just want to be an honest man again.

KITCHEN AND BATH SEMINAR

By Desiree Williams news@currentinwestfield.com IU Health North and IU Health Saxony hospitals collaborated to bring the annual day of service event to giving back Cool Creek Park Sept. 15.

IU Health began the day of service initiative nine years ago with the goal of sharing the hospital’s mission with the community.

“One of the primary goals that we want to do to improve the health status of Indiana is to encourage physical activity, especially in a family-oriented environment like Hamilton County Parks,” said Michael Harlow, president of IU Health Tipton and Saxony hospitals.

Harlow said 150 associates from various IU Health locations volunteered during the event. They worked with Hamilton County Parks this year to create a new nature play area with a wheelchair-accessible trail.

The development was previously a wooded area but has been turned into a playground made of all natural materials, or elements.

“We’re calling these ‘elements’ because it’s comprised of natural resources that have been repurposed as a function of normal, ongoing land maintenance,” said Don Nichols, resource development specialist for Hamilton County Parks. “We didn’t have to cut down any trees for this. We didn’t harm any plants or anything.”

The nature play area will not include the typical climbing set, swings or slide.

Instead, it will include a balance beam obstacle course made of logs and boulders.

There also will be a pyramid to climb, a tractor to drive and a table and chairs, all of which are made from logs.

“We are creating something that gets kids comfortable playing in nature and just being creative,” said Allen Patterson, Hamilton County director of parks and

In addition, volunteers also created a natural barrier around the new play area to keep children out of the street. Carl Zenor, manager of imaging services at IU Health North, gathered materials for the barrier and helped build a retaining wall.

The store focuses on sports apparel while also offering Indiana-themed T-shirts, fleece sweaters, hoodies, glassware and keychains. It also has licenses with many Indiana universities, as well as Miami University, Negro Leagues Museum, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis Racers and Indy Eleven.

As of now, The Shop co-owner Brian Kelly is helping prepare for opening day by painting and changing flooring.

“We’ll be ready to go,” he said. “We hope people will be ready to come in and take a look.”

While he said there are many retailers who sell Indiana apparel, what sets The Shop apart is its comfortable and durable fabrics and its originality.

“Our designs really are stuff that hasn’t been done before,” he said.

For Kelly, the design process begins with brainstorming sessions that are often based on the sports and other events going on in each season. Then he puts pencil to paper to design everything himself.

In addition to pre-designed products, The

Shop also offers custom designs for businesses such as breweries and restaurants.

While clients often have an idea in mind, Kelly said the custom design process begins with lots of mock-ups and meetings.

The Shop began in 2011 as an online store called Hayes & Taylor. It eventually merged with Janeczek’s Brick Shirt House to create the store it is today.

“It was just a side job,” Kelly said. “We never thought it would be a full-time gig, but it grew and grew.”

In 2015, The Shop opened its first storefront, and two months later, Kelly quit his job at Salesforce to focus on the business full-time.

“That was definitely nerve-racking,” he said.

Over the years, The Shop has built a steady following of more than 5,000 followers on Facebook and almost 8,000 on Instagram. Kelly said social media branding was vital, especially early on when no one had heard of them yet.

“You’ve got to stick with it and have patience,” he said. “You can’t expect instant gratification. You need to take the time to build a brand.”

In the next five years, Kelly hopes to open another storefront, possibly in downtown Indianapolis. He also wants to expand to college campuses and maybe even out of state.

But no matter how much it grows, Kelly said the most rewarding part of the job will be to see people in stadiums and bars wearing The Shop’s products.

Networking mistakes – Here are five networking mistakes you might be making: 1. Canned communication – templates are fine as a start, but take time to personalize correspondence.

2. No communication – take time to stay in touch with those who helped you.

3. Missing meetings – don’t agree to meet if you can’t afford the time and then cancel at the last minute.

4. Offering to make an introduction and not following through.

5. Asking for something at every contact.

Be advised, though, that generic prices vary widely from place to place. Spend a few minutes calling several local pharmacies to compare prices on their generics. Then go online and and look for discount coupons – these can be used for medications not covered, or if you haven’t met your deductible yet.

Comfort Systems should benefit as commercial construction picks up in the next few years—which is likely as the US economy slowly expands.

Hymes ready to launch new era for CSO as first female conductor

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

When Janna Hymes first started interviewing to become a music director of symphony orchestras, it was rare.

“There just weren’t a lot of women doing it, and it was always a novelty,” Hymes said. “Every time I interviewed it would come up and it was the focus. Now, there are so many young conductors coming out of schools. There are workshops for female conductors, and I’m teaching one in New York. It’s really amazing that a lot of women now are making this their career and are very successful. It’s still a very, very small amount of women compared to the guys. There is still a glass ceiling there.”

Hymes was named the Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s first female music director and seventh overall in its 42-year history in May following a national search. She was one of three who served as guest conductors during the selection process.

She will make her debut with CSO when it presents the Clay Township Orchestral Showcase at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 14 at The Palladium in Carmel.

The New York City native, who lives in Maine, conducts the Williamsburg (Va.) Symphony and the Maine Pro Musica Orchestra, which she founded in 2008. But CSO is her priority.

“This is a very exciting time for me, personally,” Hymes said.

“I can’t wait to work with the orchestra again. What we did over the summer is really putting some finishing touches on some programming.”

Hymes, who concluded a three-year stint as the Indianapolis

Symphony Orchestra associate conductor in 2000, said she has been working on fundraising events and looking at CSO’s future.

“I’ve been listening to board members talk about the history and talking about where we might go in the future,” Hymes said. “A lot of it is a learning curve for me.”

One change Hymes made after taking over is adjusting the February 2018 program.

Janna Hymes was named the “I wasn’t sure the pieces Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s really meshed well together,” first female music director.

Hymes said. “The music of (Submitted photo) (Aaron) Copland’s ‘Billy the Kid’ was on it, and I felt that’s a very visual piece. It’s a ballet. When I was studying the music this summer to perform it, I felt it was hard to stand alone without the visual in your head. So we changed the program around to play Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2, the ‘Romantic,’ which is perfect because it’s four days before Valentine’s Day.” Another change is that Hymes will conduct the Holiday concert Dec. 9, which wasn’t originally the plan.

“I’m really excited because we have two of the singers who took part in and won the Songbook Academy Youth Ambassador competition, Julia Bonnet and Lucas DeBard,” she said. “I’m really excited to collaborate with them and more be related to the Great American Songbook.”

The only CSO concert Hymes will not conduct is April 14, 2018, because of a prior commitment. Charles Prince will serve as guest conductor.

Hymes, who has two grown sons, said she will have complete involvement in the 2018-19 schedule.

Civic Theatre to present ‘Annie’

By Zach Dunkin zach.dunkin@youarecurrent.com Comedian W.C. Fields is credited with the line, “Never work with children and animals.” Anne Nicole performance Beck begs to differ.

As director of the musical “Annie,” she is working with both — a talented young actress named Mary Kate Tansell and another half-dozen school kids, and a curly-haired mutt named Tori. Mary Kate, an eighth-grader at Sycamore School, portrays Annie, and Tori, a foster dog from the Humane Society of Indianapolis, plays her dog Sandy, in the Tony Award-winning musical which opens Civic Theater’s 103rd season Oct. 12 at The Tarkington in Carmel.

A fundraiser will be held Oct. 12 prior to a 7 p.m. sneak preview performance.

“I actually love working with children, especially the ones in this cast,” said Beck, who also is choreographing the musical. “They are so extraordinary and have worked so hard taking on challenges and striving to get acting and singing and dancing moments all in synch. And Mary Kate is a director’s dream. She handles everything with professionalism and ease.

“Plus, I am a dog lover, so even though

a canine actor may not be as consistent as a human, having the love and warmth and pure sweetness of a beautiful animal around has been incredible. The whole cast lights up when our Sandy is around.”

Based on the popular Harold Gray comic strip “Little Orphan Annie,” the Broadway musical focuses on a spunky, optimistic 11-year-old orphan who is looking for her birth parents.

CARMELCOMMUNITYPLAYE R S Pizza at a tailgate, why not?

Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Using the most recent estimates from the American Community Survey and Dunn and Bradstreet, we’ve discovered the most popular food in every state. The food type with the highest density per 100,000 people is considered the most popular. Pizza is the fan-favorite in all states that our column is published (Oklahoma to Ohio).

So why can’t we make pizza at our tailgate parties? Besides a grill with a lid, the only equipment you’ll need is a pizza stone and a peel.

Tailgate Pizza Ingredients: • 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour • 1 package dry active yeast • 1/2 cup olive oil • 1 teaspoon sugar • 1 teaspoon sea salt • 1 3/4 lbs. whole milk (not skimmed) mozzarella cheese • 1 jar favorite pizza sauce • 1/2 onion chopped • 1 green pepper chopped • 1 can ripe olives sliced in half • 1 lb. sweet Italian sausage ground and well browned • Ground Oregano and Basil to spice Preparation: before - Proof the yeast in 1 cup warm water. In a large mixing bowl mix the flour, salt and sugar; then add the yeast water mixture and the oil. With your hands, knead flour and liquid mixture into springy dough. Knead the dough at least 5 minutes and as much as 15 if you have the strength.

Then place a bit of oil in the mixing bowl make the dough into a ball. Cover bowl with clear wrap and refrigerate 24-48 hours.

Game day morning - Take the dough out and let it sit for 1 hour at room temperature.

Then cut the ball into four pieces and roll each into a small ball and let them sit under a clean dish towel while you prep things for your trip to the game. Lastly, pack the dough balls with a 1-inch separation into a container for your trip to the game.

Hide and Seek

A set of twins, a spooky neighbor, and a young couple moving into their dream house in the country.

Pizza can be a fan-favorite at tailgates.

(Submitted photos)

At the Tailgate - Heat your grill at least 30 minutes until the temperature of the stone is 450-500 degrees. Flour a cutting board and place a dough ball on it. Spread the dough out into a circle. You can use a rolling pin or air-toss, if you want. Place some corn meal on the peel and then the dough circle on top. Spread evenly 2 tablespoons of sauce on the dough and then slices of your cheese to cover the dough. Add a little of the sausage and a small amount of the other toppings of your choice. You’ll add more as the pie is cooking on the stone. Make sure the dough slides on the corn meal so it is easy to transfer to the stone for cooking.

Slide the dough onto the stone and close the lid to keep the heat in. After 1 minute, quickly add more sausage and other toppings. Also, place dollops of sauce in key areas of your pie. It’s safer to add more toppings when the pie crust is firming up on the stone. The pie will be ready to remove to the cutting board in 5 to 10 minutes. Just check the crust before removing it. Serves 4 to 6 people.

How late in the year can outdoor living spaces be installed? Is it too late?

The weather outdoor living plays a critical role, but we are often installing patios into mid-December. Generally, we will stop planting perennials and grasses in early November and will plant trees and shrubs until the ground freezes in early December.

Are there any advantages to installing patios and landscapes now instead of spring? Can’t imagine that we will use it much over the winter.

Fall is a much happier time for landscapes to be installed. The watering responsibility is considerably easier than when planted in the spring, and fall-planted items are healed in much more confidently to handle the usual summer droughts. As you can imagine, spring is often a frenzy, so the attention clients receive is often heightened in the fall. Or, at least get the project scheduled now for very early spring.

Any price benefits to fall installations?

Yes. Most of our suppliers, growers and

vendors pass on their usual price increases very early spring.

Do you have clients who use their fire features and grill stations in the winter?

Absolutely. Most get a thrill out of it!

With our moderate winters of late, it’s easy to imagine grilling or hanging by the fire feature on many sunny days or 30-degree evenings!

Thrill us with the featured project details!

Imagine your home, totally organized!

This beauty was immediately livable (had the same conversation earlier today).

Most take a few years to “feel” warm and mature. Material selection helps, as does the plant pallet and a pergola or grill station. I really appreciate the limestone caps and rock-face steps as well as the modern/ linear feel to the space.

Thinking about an outdoor living space yet this year?

Dreamers often lie Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Sure, it’s easy to distinguish lace from lice and lake from like, but what’s the difference between lay grammar guy and lie? When I say “lie” in this article, I’m not referring to the act that causes Pinocchio’s nose to grow; I’m talking about when someone reclines.

The quick answer to this confusing conundrum is this: lay requires a direct object while lie does not. You lie down in the fetal position sucking your thumb when you’re super-stressed watching a Colts game. You lay down a brass unicorn paperweight on important papers so your office’s industrial-strength air conditioner doesn’t whoosh them away and risk paper-cutting your entire department.

Allow me to lay down a few examples: King Lear lays his lyre down on the linoleum landing of his lopsided lake lair. In this case, “lyre” is the direct object, so lay is correct.

Lance lies lazily in his limo, lunching on Lay’s and listening to Lyle Lovett’s lavish lyrics. Lance lies down on his own, while Lear lays the direct object (his lyre) down.

Now it gets complicated; the past tense of lie is lay, while the past tense of lay is laid. So, you could correctly say: John Lennon lay down on the floor while he laid down the lead vocal track to “Revolution 1.”

The English language strikes again.

While on vacation in Hawaii, Linus laid a lei on Elaine while she lay on the beach.

You can lie about laying down your laser while you lie on the loveseat in your lounge.

It’s a wonder anyone learns to speak English as a second language. We often assume and expect others to possess a mastery of the English language while its rules are ridiculously complicated.

To take a “Hamilton” quote out of context, sometimes I feel English is “such a blunder, sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder.” Yet our language’s seemingly contradictory rules awaken our inner-word nerds and cause us to lie in bed while we dream about the truth.

St. Augustine, Florida, founded in 1565, claims to be the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the United travel States. It is not. That honor goes to a settlement in New Mexico that is 200 years older.

In approximately 1300 A.D., an indigenous people called the Ancestral Puebloans began moving south from what is now the Four Corners region of the United States, perhaps because of a major drought.

Following the Rio Grande River, some of them settled just north of what is now Taos, New Mexico, in sight of the Sangre de Christo Mountains. Beginning in about 1350, they built multi-story adobe buildings called pueblos on both sides of a creek.

Each pueblo, a Spanish term for village, contained dozens of individual apartments, with the upper levels reached by ladders.

In 1541, soldiers under Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, looking for the fabled seven golden cities of Cibola, reported finding the Taos pueblos but no gold. In 1680, the Taos pueblos were at the center of a sophis-

ticated revolt, including nearby pueblos, that temporarily drove the Spanish from New Mexico. In 1847, residents of the Taos pueblos again revolted, this time against the United States. The rebellion was unsuccessful and the rebels were hung in the plaza.

Today, the Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage site containing both original pueblos, lies within a 95,000-acre reservation that is home to approximately 4,500 people, who speak English in addition to their native Tiwa language. Approximately 150 residents continue to live in the ancient pueblos. A few of the apartments, now accessible by stairs, are used as shops by their owners, some of whom are willing to show visitors through their apartments and talk about their history and culture. As we prepare to celebrate Columbus Day, it is useful to remember the Taos Pueblo.

For small rooms, choose furniture with legs showing to draw the eye upward and create the illusion of more light. Also, use clear items whenever possible.
