Oak Trace recognized as Blue Ribbon School

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

The U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, officially announced the Blue Ribbon Schools on Sept.

Achievement 29. Westfield’s Oak Trace Elementary was among the eight schools in Indiana awarded the honor.

To be a Blue Ribbon School, the school must either be a consistently high achieving school with student achievement trends being consecutively high, or be a school in a lower social economic area with struggling students showing significant growth.

The state selected Oak Trace for the first category, being a consistently high achieving school.

“Ultimately, what the goal of the National Blue Ribbon Program is that schools are doing [well enough] to share those practices with other schools,” said Robin Lynch, principal of Oak Trace Elementary School.

Lynch explained in Oak Trace’s profile, the school details how teachers try to connect all areas of the curriculum as much as possible to make it more meaningful for students. She also described the school’s participation with community outreach.

“We have a close-knit community and grade levels, and our teachers work together closely to make learning richer for

all students,” Lynch said.

Because of the honor, Lynch and 12 Oak Trace teachers will take a trip to Washington, D.C. Nov. 9-10 to receive the award.

They will also get to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, visit the Capitol building and participate in a tour of the Pentagon to see the 9/11 memorial.

“For me, it is a celebration and recognition of all the hard work and the sense of family and community we have built here.

It’s just a real honor to be selected, and we are very excited about going out to D.C.,” Lynch said.

She also hosted a celebration for the students that included blue snow cones to fit the theme of being a Blue Ribbon School.

To view Duncan’s announcement of the Blue Ribbon Schools, visit www2.ed.gov/ programs/nclbbrs/index.html.

What happened: The plan commission sent the Chatham Hills PUD Amendment to the city council with a positive recommendation.

Dispatches Special census – The City of Westfield will be holding a special census before the expected 2020 census. They are searching for applicants to complete the census, paying between $10.74 and $16.74 per hour. Interested applicants can stop by the City Services Center or visit westfield. in.gov/employment.

What it means: Four additional parcels will be added to Chatham Hills, with one of the parcels not used for subdivision development, but agricultural purposes. When the PUD originally came through, it did not include these four properties.

What happened: After hearing a presentation from Justice Home Builders, the plan commission approved 66 additional units to be added on to the Bridgewater Apartments. City councilor and resident of the apartments, Rob Stokes, also presented in favor of the additional units.

What it means: In addition to the 66 units, there will be 74 garages constructed, as well as some new amenities to be available to all residents in the complex. These amenities include a fenced-in dog park and a gathering plaza with a grilling station and fire pit. The existing amenities in the complex will be available to all new residents. Currently, the apartments are 70 percent leased, and the company “anticipates they will be pretty close to operating full capacity before the end of this year.”

What happened: The plan commission heard a request from the CVS Pharmacy planned for Springmill Station to increase its square footage from 12,900 square feet to 13,225 square feet. After discussion, they sent the proposal to the Spring Mill Station Task Group to be approved before it returns to the plan commission.

What it means: With the slight stretch of the building to widen the drive-thru corner, there were some concerns with the architectural quality since the building will be viewed from all sides. The developers were sent to the Spring Mill Station Task Group to work together and make the pharmacy more architecturally pleasing.

Open Doors launches campaign

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For years, Open Doors has found its home in downtown Westfield at 110 Jersey St. But as fruition of the Grand fundraiser Junction plan nears, the food and clothing pantry must move to a new facility.

The not-for-profit is launching a capital campaign to raise money for its change in location, providing an introduction to the campaign at the Chamber of Commerce meeting on Oct. 15 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Bridgewater Club.

“The school board has agreed to give us some land near Monon Trail Elementary School,” said Jerry Rosenberger, vice president of the board of directors. “This is a huge step for us to lower the cost of the whole project.”

Open Doors plans to raise approximately $200,000 for the project.

“We are going out to the entire community in hopes of raising those funds,” Rosenberger said.

In addition to approaching the community, Open Doors is contacting major donors directly. They will also seek financial contributions from the 13 churches throughout Westfield that support the organization.

Yet construction for the new building can’t

begin until all money is raised.

“Our hopes are, by the first quarter of 2016, we will have our capital campaign finished and will be working with builders,” Rosenberger said. “By the end of 2016, we hope to be in the building.”

Throughout the campaign, the organization will be using the slogan, “Keep Open Doors Open.” At the chamber meeting, those in attendance will receive information about the organization and also have the ability to donate.

Those who cannot attend the meeting and wish to support the new construction can mail all donation checks to Open Doors at P.O. Box 196, Westfield, Indiana 46074.

ACS advocate speaks to Congress

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Aurmaudra Bradley has had her fair share of family experience with cancer, losing her mother to lung cancer in 2009. So she cancer decided to make a difference, but is doing something a little more untraditional than a fundraising event.

“I am an advocate with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, which is a group of volunteers and we are fighting to make cancer a legislative priority for Congress on a state and federal level,” Bradley said.

Bradley took a trip to Washington, D.C. from Sept. 27 to 30 to meet with Congress and ask them to support different bills centered on cancer research.

After a group presents, a Congress member decides to co-sponsor the bill. Bradley will follow up within a few weeks and encourage action.

“There’s been a reduction in real dollars in the money going to medical research in general, and we are specifically concerned with

cancer,” Bradley said. “We want to increase that funding by a billion dollars over the next five years for the National Cancer Institute.”

When Bradley lived in Indianapolis, she was a volunteer for the congressional district.

Once she moved to Westfield, she became the state’s lead ambassador, making her a volunteer not just for the district, but the entire state. Her leadership role allowed her to take the trip to D.C. Bradley said her experience with seeing her mother sick with lung cancer helped inspire her to get involved.

“That’s what motivated me to really get involved. It’s just very close to home,” Bradley said. “That’s where my interest peaked.”

Since there is no immediate bill for Congress to sign, Bradley encourages people to visit ascscan.org.

“It’s the best place to engage in anything related to this,” Bradley said.

Contact information is on the site, as well as a place for people to ask questions and receive information.

WMS teacher travels to Finland, searches for how to involve more girls in mathematics

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield Middle School teacher Kelly Day broke the record when she was the youngest teacher ever to receive cover story the Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching and only the second from Indiana.

Then she traveled to Finland for five months for educational research and was one of only four to return to Washington, D.C. to present her findings.

Day’s findings? Why Finland was one of the few countries with girls outscoring boys in mathematics.

Day submitted a research proposal to the U.S. Dept. of Education, which was then selected, honoring her with the Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching. When she traveled to Finland, she carried out her research plan, hoping to bring knowledge back to the U.S. on why girls outscore boys in mathematics.

“I wanted to go see what Finland was doing to promote female achievement in mathematics,” Day said. “The biggest take-away I got from Finland is sometimes less is more. I’m trying to be more selective in what I’m teaching instead of trying to teach everything by really focusing on the important aspects and giving kids more trust and freedom in their academic choices.”

Day wrote a blog post on the subject of

less is more, which went viral, being visited more than half a million times and shared more than 200,000 times. Day returned from Finland to continue teaching, implementing her new strategies into the classroom.

“I think we need to focus our standard in math curriculum. We have a tendency to go

a mile wide, and I think we should focus our topics and go deeper,” Day said, giving the example of how she teaches an economy unit where kids handle math and travel by picking the countries they want to visit and creating a travel plan.

Day said she travels a lot and often times brings back different currencies to have her students convert them into U.S. dollars.

While in Finland, Day’s viral post, “11 Ways Finland Teaches Us Less is More,” was published in the South Australian Journal and also translated into Korean.

In addition to the presentation of her findings in D.C. in August, Day will travel to an event in San Francisco in November – the Fulbright Great Mind Conference. She will present on “building a pipeline for females in STEM.” Day is also attempting to bring in some Fulbright teachers from Botswana, currently at Indiana University, to speak to her students.

But Day isn’t the only one proud of her findings. Her seventh grade students appreciate them, too.

“Math is not usually my strong suit, but this year it has been really fun and I like it a lot better than last year,” seventh grader Jamie Helms said. “She has a lot of games, and it’s always fun with her because you’re not always writing notes which is nice. She makes us focus and lets us have fun with it.”

Many of the students explained their favor-

ite lesson was when they learned about math properties through a game similar to musical chairs, because it kept them up and moving around.

“I don’t want to get sucked back into the race of always getting more, and sometimes more, more, more is creating stressed out students with high levels of anxiety, or they give up,” Day said.

Oak Trace named Blue Ribbon school Oak Trace Elementary School is one of 335 schools nationally to be recognized as a Blue Ribbon School. Think about that: One of 335. It’s an amazing accomplishment. “Oak Trace is certainly a very hard-working and cohesive school family, and very deserving of this recognition,” Oak Trace Principal Robin Lynch stated. We agree. A special recognition ceremony will take place next month in Washington, D.C.. Well done!

••• Maybe the Trump Show is wearing thin?

It could be too early to tell, but we’re watching New Hampshire, which since forever has been some kind of barometer (along with Iowa and South Carolina) as to the true political climate for Republican candidates.

According to Fox News, this month’s NBC/ Wall Street Journal Marist poll shows Carly Fiorina making a 10-point leap: from 6 percent last month to 16 percent this month.

“She still trails frontrunner Donald Trump, but her Granite State surge shows a potential path for Fiorina, who has been mostly surfing the national zeitgeist,” Fox reported. We like what she has shown thus far, but we consider it just an appetizer for what we expect to be a battle royale between Trump and Fiorina as the months pass. Trump, by the way, lost seven points in the most recent polling. If the Republican Party pushes any of the “insiders” over these two, it might as well fold the tent and call it a day.

Corporate Bureaucrats

Commentary by Terry Anker

In his latest book, the 2008 chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, now claims that more business executives should have gone to jail in the aftermath of the early days of what is now being called the Great Recession. He didn’t call for it at the time, nor did he mention the role of erstwhile government officials responsible to prosecute such things.

While one can only assume that Bernanke and his ilk are motivated to justify the unprecedented and extreme moves they took as “essential” to prevent a 1930-style depression, he does make a salient point regardless of his own culpability. If governments, agencies and mega-corporations are too big to fail, are there individuals who are too important to be held accountable?

Ours is a system of laws and rules administered in a most evenhanded and thoughtful way. But like barnacles on a ship in the water, we have accumulated all man-

ner of exceptions, special advocacy groups, and loopholes allowing for a perversion of the simple concept. If misdeeds occurred, either from neglect or intentional action, they should be fully explored. But we must be emphatic in applying the same standard to government bureaucrats as corporate ones. One might imagine that a failure on the part of the Justice Department to prosecute any individuals is related to a perception of collusion between powerbrokers in Washington and those in New York. Big financial firms are far more familiar with Pennsylvania Avenue than Main Street. Is the same true of the government officials we trust to enforce the rules? And can we rely on a system where the risk is only borne by one of the benefitting parties?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

– Mark Twain

For more than three months, I totally avoided offering any input into our kitchen remodeling. If I had contributed humor my ideas, we would not have had an appliance garage, where we currently park our 2003 Black & Decker toaster. And I would have requested a dishwasher that made a little noise, so I don’t have to keep asking my wife: “Are you sure it’s on?”

Now it’s time to remodel my bathroom. It is not that Mary Ellen is forbidden to enter it; it’s just that she considers it forbidden territory. Let’s put it this way: we have been married 33 happy years, and then there were the two years we shared a bathroom.

We began by shopping for a toilet. After five minutes, I had already invested more time in that selection process than I had in picking out my new car … or my wife’s engagement ring. Oddly, the toilets were way up high on shelves. When’s the last time you looked up at a toilet. Don’t answer that.

One of the toilets had a sign that said: WILL FLUSH A DOZEN GOLF BALLS I couldn’t wait to try it.

“Dick, what’s all that racket up there?”

“Mary Ellen, I’ve just flushed a dozen Titleists down the toilet.”

“Wow, you must have played terribly today. What happened to cursing and breaking your club in half?”

Some manufacturers include a seat that doesn’t slam down but lowers noiselessly – a good idea for people who are occasionally frustrated by failure on the throne and tend to slam down the lid.

And finally, some of the toilets were labeled “smart.” They have 14 buttons and a remote control, but what they remotely control is still a mystery. I don’t want a smart toilet. I don’t want one that answers the phone, or is connected to Bluetooth, or gives me a weather report. I don’t want my bottom warmed or scented. I simply want my toilet to sit there.

And I promise to do the same.

It has been an honor working for the city of Westfield for the past seven years. In my role as the director of enterprise development, some of my responsiblities include contracts, financial models and streamlining processes that provide the most value to our taxpayers.

I’m always searching for new ways to increase the net value of our city, and one process that will add the most value in a short amount of time is a special census.

The special census is an upfront cost to our community of $625,000. However, that is a one-time expense, and the value add is more than $1 million in revenue re-allocation before the 2020 census. The city is growing, but the dollars that Westfield has allocated from the state is based on our 2010 population.

With the new census numbers, Westfield’s corrected distribution will be approximately $330,000 higher each year. That money can be used for things like infrastructure improve-

ments, roundabouts and filling pot holes. Our biggest obstacle is hiring enough temporary employees to complete the work in a timely fashion. We need you.

We need people to go door-to-door and collect the data, and we need people to open the door and answer the census questions. A special census is a huge endeavor, and it is in a tight time frame because the sooner we get it done, the sooner Westfield can capture the revenue, but none of it can be done without you.

If you’re interested in working for the special census, please go to westfield.in.gov/ employment. There, you can find a list of job descriptions and how much they pay.

Please remember census workers will be going door-to-door starting at the end of October. Please take the time to provide the correct information to the census workers because that money is going back into the community we all love.

We are accepting applications until Oct. 20.

RE A D ERS ’ V I E W S County councilor opposes mass transit Editor, I don’t believe there is a need or want for mass transit in Westfield among the nongovernment affiliated citizens of Westfield.

Looking at the two alternatives listed in Current, I am scratching my head how the less used number one can be more expensive to operate than the number two? ($2.2 million vs. $1.9 million) [The article published Sept. 29] contained a statement which I believe is inaccurate and misleading: “Westfield could see three major stops at the city’s largest consumer and recreation areas that draw huge numbers day in and day out.”

Really? Of the three later described, only

one, Village Park Plaza, has historical evidence to back up the above statement. The other two do not; Grand Park has only weekend traffic, and Grand Junction doesn’t even exist yet!

There will NOT be throngs of shoppers coming to Village Park Plaza from downtown Indianapolis.

Likewise, why would someone ride a bus to Grand Park from downtown Indianapolis?

My preference is to start small and determine the need before building an expensive, grandiose system that will be an albatross around the taxpayers’ necks forever.

At Your Service, Rick McKinney

Pointe for the Cure Masquerade Soiree set for Oct. 30 at IMA

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

It’s only fitting the Indiana Ballet Conservatory holds a fundraising event to benefit pediatric cancer research.

“There is a connection here because of fundraiser the children,” said Wilmara Manuel, IBC interim executive director. “What we do here is educate children and educate dancers. One of our former board members did work in pediatric cancer and thought it would be a good match. It evolved into the student dance in honor of a child currently fighting cancer. Our mission is not just to educate a dancer, but the whole student and to really make them Manuel aware of the world around them and how [they can] contribute. They have a gift to dance, and we have a great staff who is creating this piece. So they are using their gifts and talent to bring entertainment to raise awareness for that one night to help that child smile and forget about what they are fighting.”

The third annual Pointe to the Cure Masquerade Soiree will be held Oct. 30 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. It will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a VIP reception. The Masquerade Soiree and a cocktail and silent auction session begins at 6 p.m. The IBC performance begins at 8 p.m. in the Toby Theatre. There will be a special appearance by singer Josh Kaufman, winner of NBC’s “The Voice” during the cocktail session. Kaufman will hold a meet-and-greet during the VIP reception.

based Indiana Ballet Conservatory.

“We want to give back to the community,” Yakovleva-Randall said.

The performance is “Pulse: Dancing to the Beat of Our Own Drummer,” which was created by Yakovleva-Randall. It was

first performed in 2012.

“We’ve done selections from it since but this will be the full production,” YakovlevaRandall said. “We combine percussionists and contemporary dance. Why did I create this production? How could I not create this production? I come into the studio, and there Yakovlenais so much talent around me, my students Randall and amazing faculty member, Sergey Serglev, who is an award-winning choreographer.

“Then I come home, and here is my amazing husband [Daryl Randall] who is drumming. All this talent around me made me think about something unique and very special. I came up with story about a little boy who follows his dream and becomes a musician and a little girl following her dream and becomes a ballerina. The message to the audience is never give up, and always follow your dream.”

About 30 dancers, ranging in ages from 11 to 17, will perform in the show. Many young cancer patients will be invited.

“We have a child match program, so each student meets a child who is fighting cancer, and they dance in honor of the child,” Manuel said. “At the end of the evening they each walk across with a picture and they say, ‘Tonight I dance for,’ and they say the child’s name.”

Manuel said they raised $45,000 for Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health and Team Joey, part of Heroes Foundation. The same three charities will benefit from the fundraiser this year.

The cost is $75 for the evening ($100 includes VIP reception).

Indiana Wind Symphony opens season with October Joyride

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Wind Symphony will open its 18th season with an October Joyride.

The name of the concert, set music for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 17 at the Palladium, is derived from two pieces the IWS will play, called “October” by contemporary American composer Eric Whitacre and “Joyride” by 28-year-old American composer Michael Markowski “This will be the third piece of Markowski that we have played, and I think he has a bright future ahead of him,” IWS conductor Charles Conrad said.

Kelleen Strutz, a classical and jazz pianist and vocalist, will be the IWS’s special guest.

She will perform George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” which Conrad described as one of everyone’s favorites.

The concert also will feature several classical band works by significant composers, Conrad said.

One piece is “Pageant” by the late Vincent Persichetti, who is celebrating the 100th of the anniversary of his birth this year.

Charles Conrad, IWS conductor, leads the Indiana Wind Symphony at a performance earlier this year. The IWS will open its 18th season on Oct. 17 in Carmel. (File photo)

“Persichetti was one of several composers in the 1950s who started writing serious pieces for concert bands,” Conrad said. “That had not been in vogue for 20 and 30 years before that. The concert band, at the turn of the 20th century, was considered artistically in the same sphere as orchestras, ballet companies and operas. It had fallen badly in the 1930s and ’40s, to the point it had become more of historical relic playing patriotic concerts and more for entertainment than artistic merit.

Persichetti was one of those who started the band back up the food chain in terms of artistic merit.”

The show will close with Alfred Reed’s “Armenian Dances.” Reed died 10 years ago, so Conrad said this is in memory of the 10th anniversary of his passing.

For more, visit thecenterfortheperformingarts.org. Student tickets, through college age, cost just $5.

Cooking and heating food

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley In the 1600s, the Caribbean Arawak tribe was cooking meat on sticks laid over a fire.

They called this process “barbacòa” and this was the forerunner of the American Bar-B-Q. Two hundred years later, BBQ came to the southeastern United States, where pigs were cooked by pit-roasting before eating. The charcoal briquette was patented in 1897 by Ellsworth Zwoyer. After WWII, in the post-war boom in suburban lifestyle of the ’40s, open outdoor grills become a backyard fixture. The iconic Weber grill was born in 1952 by George Stephen. In the ’60s, in a bid to get customers to buy more natural gas, employees of the Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company redesigned a charcoal grill to run on bottled propane.

These resulting broilers have led us to today’s tailgating grills.

If you look in a 2015 tailgating lot, you’ll see mostly gas grills using those little dark green 16 oz. propane cylinders. This season, we have two adjacent tailgate parties next to ours using identical Coleman Road Trip Grills. Although we have a newer version, the Coleman NXT300, we see more and more of these and less charcoal.

A most popular item for a tailgate party is crispy buffalo wings. We experimented in our own kitchen and have found the perfect crispy recipe.

Crispy Oven Baked Buffalo Wings Ingredients: (4 Servings) • 2.5 lbs. chicken wings • I Cup Frank’s Redhot Buffalo Wings Sauce • 2 cups flour • Salt and pepper Preparation: Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Wash wings and clip off their tips with poultry

shears (or knife). Cut wings at the joint into two parts each. Put wings on paper towels to dry. In a gallon size re-sealable plastic bag, put in two cups of all-purpose flour and a tablespoon of kosher salt and teaspoon of black pepper. Place wings in the flour bag and coat them with the mixture. Remove the wings with tongs, shaking off excess flour. Place wings on a sheet pan rack with the pan below. Place pan into the oven and bake 35 minutes. Remove wings and place them into a bowl of the buffalo wing sauce to coat them slightly. Replace the wings onto the rack and cook them five or ten minutes more until they crisp slightly.

Remove the wings and let them cool. Then place them in the refrigerator overnight in a zip bag. On game day, re-sauce and heat the wings on your grill in a disposable aluminum pan. Serve with celery and blue cheese or ranch dressing.

Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” and is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

Wicked pie perfect for Halloween Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Welcome autumn with it intense fall colors and the beautiful pumpkins! Wicked pumpkin pie is our favorite Halloween treat in our family! This yummy pie is a breeze to make and it is so wicked that it won’t sit for too long on your kitchen table!!

Note: Did you know that the word “pumpkin” comes from the Greek “pepon”, which means “large melon?” The French changed it to “pompon.” The British converted it to “pumpion,” which eventually became “pumpkin” for the American colonists. While the origins of the word might have traveled continents, the pumpkin is native to North America.

Wicked Pumpkin Pie Ingredients: 3/4 cup milk, 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoon unsalted melted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 1/2 cup canned plain pumpkin puree, corn meal, 1 1/3 cup heavy cream, cold, 2 tablespoons confectioner sugar, 1 tablespoon brandy (optional).

Directions: In a blender, combine the first nine ingredients on high speed. Add canned pumpkin and blend on medium speed. In the meantime prepare glass pie pan. Rub pan pie

with butter. Shake in dry corn meal; swirl to contact all butter. Turn pie pan upside down and tap, so excess cornmeal falls out. Pour pumpkin mix into prepared pie pan. Bake at 350F for 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Let it cool on a wire rack. For whipped cream, beat cream at medium speed to soft peaks, gradually add confectioner sugar then brandy.

Beat to stiff peaks. Accompany each wedge of pie with a dollop of whipped cream.

Get scared at Conner ‘Scarie’

By Zach Dunkin news@currentinwestfield.com For 31 years, a black-caped rider mounted on a charging horse has terrified the passengers on the hayrides that each October roll through the 1800s family fun town and apple orchard of Conner Prairie. And the result is always the same: 30,000 children and adults annually lose their minds when the Headless Horseman cruises by their tractor-pulled hay wagon.

Based on the classic Washington Irvin tale “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” the Headless Horseman at Conner Prairie has become as classic as the lighting of Monument Circle’s “world’s largest Christmas tree” in downtown Indianapolis. It’s just not Halloween without it.

The Headless Horseman isn’t the only activity that turns Conner Prairie into Conner Scarie.

Other family activities include “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” marionette show, ghostly vortexes, fortune telling, scary-o-ke and more.

New this year, guests can help make history in the craft area by folding 6,000

Halloween is the prime time for spooky stories, but the Ballet Theatre of Indiana is taking a whole new turn with its Halloween performance. And it Performance happens to be based off a true story.

BTI will present “Macabre, a Night of Edgar Allen Poe Ballets” on Oct. 29 and 30. The show will be the season opener and focuses partly on Poe’s life and partly on his stories.

“We’ve never done a Halloween production,” said Audrey Robson, BTI’s director of public relations. “We definitely thought that using Edgar Allen Poe was very appropriate for the Halloween season.”

There will be tables for seating, and guests are able to purchase food and drinks during intermission. Robson said the stage is quite close to the tables and describes the show as very interactive.

“It’s definitely something that is unique to Indy,” Robson said. “It’s appearing as a ballet, and it masters up with the Halloween theme, so it’s a different way to experience Halloween. We’ve never done something quite like this before.”

The show takes place at 7:30 p.m. both nights and lasts about an hour and a half including intermission. Although alcohol is served, those under 21 are still welcome.

from it because of unique movements, but I would say it does have some mature concepts in it,” Robson said.

Some of the dances within the show include “The Masque of the Red Death” by Director Stirling Matheson and “Annabelle Lee” by Emma Rose Beigel, a company dancer. The other dances will be performed by the new ballet master and resident choreographer Cole Companion. All choreography is original.

The show takes place at the Athenaeum at 407 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis. Tickets are $25 each. For tickets, visit btindiana.org/ events.

For children and families needing an early start to their Halloween celebrations, the Fishers Boo Bash returns to the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater Performance from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Oct. 23.

The event, in its third year, offers safe trick or treating for children plus games, live music and a collection of fall and Halloween activities.

“We pair up with up to 60 businesses or organizations in the community,” Fishers marketing and public relations manager Casey Cawthon said. “Each one will host a safe trick or treat stop, and all those stops include candy or games or an activity for the kids to do something a little fun, and while they’re there, their parents can learn more about that business or organization.”

Fishers city staff will also have booths set up to connect with community members and the Fishers Parks and Recreation tent

is where contestants can register for the event’s costume contest.

Registration for the costume contest will be capped at 50 entrants in each group — ages 0 to 2, 3 to 5, 6 to 10 and 11 to 12. Each age group will have four winners in categories of prettiest, scariest, most creative and best movie character.

“We also have a family category this year.

That’s new,” Cawthon said. “We noticed there were a lot of families dressing up together, so we thought it would be fun to add a category for them to enter.”

Boo Bash attendees can take advantage of complimentary hot chocolate and Pat’s Philly Pretzels while supplies last, and the parks and recreation tent will have goodie bags available, also on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Entering just its third year, the Boo Bash has already become one of Fishers’ larger gatherings.

“Last year we had over 6,000 people at this event,” Cawthon said. “It’s become one of our more popular events.”

Knowing high-risk pregnancy Commentary by Lauren Dungy-Poythress, MD When it comes to our health, nobody likes to hear the words “high risk.” This holds true for pregnant women’s health women who are naturally concerned not only about their own health, but the well-being of their babies. While there are a number of reasons pregnancies may be considered high risk, it’s important to remember that most high-risk pregnancies result in a good outcome for both mother and baby.

When is a pregnancy high risk?

Generally, any circumstance or condition outside of what’s expected during a normal pregnancy can constitute high-risk. Pregnant women with underlying medical conditions, such as a heart problem, high blood pressure or diabetes, are often categorized as high-risk.

Pregnancy in women ages 35 and older is also considered high risk due to the increased risk for Down Syndrome and other genetic abnormalities in babies born to mothers of advanced age.

What does high-risk pregnancy mean for mother and baby?

As part of a thorough prenatal care plan, an OB-GYN will identify whether a pregnancy is high-risk and requires further evaluation by a maternal fetal medicine specialist – a physician specifically trained to manage high-risk pregnancies. While most women experience anxiety – and even fear – upon learning there is a potential complication, visiting a maternal fetal medicine specialist helps determine whether there is a serious concern and what to do next.

I frequently tell patients that knowledge is power. Once we know what we’re dealing with, we can discuss options and how best to manage the situation.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Many people do not realize that breast cancer can spread to women’s health the eye. In fact, the most common type of ocular tumor in women comes from breast cancer. I have seen many breast cancer survivors who tell me they did not know this.

Sadly, often a patient will not experience any visual symptoms with an ocular tumor.

In fact, when I was doing my externships with a retinal specialist, I saw a patient who was referred to us for a suspicious looking ocular tumor. She was in her late 50s and was visiting her daughter. Her daughter want-

ed her mom’s eyes checked because she had not had them checked “in years.”

This tumor turned out to be metastatic from breast cancer. The patient did not even know she had breast cancer at all.

If you, or anyone you know has or has had breast cancer, please schedule your comprehensive eye examination with your eye doctor.

Early intervention is the best hope for a successful treatment.

Blueprint for Improvement: Screened-in porch addition Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve an inviting and engaging room for the family to enjoy!

1. The porch was added off of the existing dining room, creating a natural transition of spaces.

2. Functional screen windows were installed to allow fresh air and sunshine into the space.

3. A wood-burning stone fireplace and TV were installed to create a prime focal point in the room.

4. A custom beverage counter was designed just outside the white French doors for functional entertaining.

5. The existing brick wall and custom white columns add contrast to the dark wood ceiling and flooring.

6. The addition was furnished with rustic, industrial selections.

Before

Background Info: This stunning 1989 home is in the Walnut Creek Woods subdivision in Carmel.

The homeowners have lived here for 2 1/2 years and were definitely ready for a perfect porch addition!

Before problems: Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may e-mail him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before and after pictures of this project, visit caseindy. com/blog.

When the homeowners moved, their priority was to have a screened porch, and this home didn’t have one. The family needed a place to enjoy their wooded view comfortably in multiple seasons.

Istanbul’s Dolmabahçe Palace from Bosporus. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Istanbul’s Dolmabahçe Palace Commentary by Don Knebel

Istanbul’s Dolmabahçe Palace is one of the most spectacular buildings of its kind in the world. Its grandeur hastened travel the collapse of the empire that built it.

By the middle of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire was beginning to experience the economic stresses that led to its becoming known as the “Sick Man of Europe.” To convince his subjects and European monarchs things were not as bad as they appeared, in 1843 Sultan Abdülmecid II began building an opulent palace on a 61-acre site on the European bank of the Bosporus. The Western-style Dolmabahçe Palace was named for a garden that once occupied the site. When completed in 1856, the palace included three sections, one for administration, one for receiving visitors and one a harem for the wives and concubines of the Sultan. The 500,000 square feet of useable space included 285 rooms, 43 toilets and six Turkish baths, one incorporating Egyptian alabaster. Fourteen tons of gold and six tons of silver adorned the palace, which

also showcased Baccarat crystal and Venetian glass. The ceremonial hall featured a 4.5-ton chandelier, the largest in Europe.

The Dolmabahçe Palace cost the equivalent of 35 tons of gold, 25 percent of the Ottoman Empire’s annual revenue. The Sultan financed this extravagance and the expense of his simultaneous involvement in the Crimean War with foreign loans, contributing to the eventual collapse of his empire. When Atatürk founded the Turkish Republic in 1923, he used the Dolmabahçe Palace as his summer residence.

The Dolmabahçe Palace and its magnificent riverside grounds are available for guided tours. Visitors ascend a staircase with crystal balusters to view its many splendors, including a bedroom in the harem where Atatürk died on Nov. 10, 1938. The bedroom clock is forever stopped at 9:05 a.m., the minute of Atatürk’s death.

One of those days?

Help is just around the corner.
