WWES to host Premier Leadership Day

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After one of the teachers at Washington Woods Elementary School began working with children and teaching them education “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” the school noticed the difference.

The staff noticed the students started acting differently in the building.

“So one thing led to another. We did some book studies on the seven habits, and the Williams staff wanted to jump in and be a leadership school,” Principal Dr. Scott Williams said.

WWES signed a contract with FranklinCovey, after studying the book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey. Yet to be considered a leadership school, WWES has to raise $70,000.

After beginning the year with $33 from a bake sale put on by students, the school went on to end the school year in the spring of 2015 with $47,000 from donations alone. The threeyear contract goes toward training and support.

In regards of being a leadership school, WWES will host a Premiere Leadership Day Nov.

The habits that the school follows are posted around the building. (Submitted photo)

5 at the school. The keynote speaker will be Muriel Summers, a teacher who originally worked with Covey on incorporating the seven habits to be used in an elementary classroom.

The presentation will be on what it means to be a leadership school and how the students learn and act on the seven habits. To demonstrate their leadership, students will be helping at the event.

The cost to attend is $35, and the registration deadline is Oct. 26.

“It shows all the different ways to use children in the building for leadership and helps prepare children to become leaders and look for current ways to use them as leaders,” Williams said. “This day puts an emphasis on that for us.”

The registration fees for the Premiere Leadership Day go to the school to help support their fundraising goal for the second year of the contract.

What happened: The city council approved four parcels to be added in Chatham Hills.

Why it matters: The four parcels were not originally incorporated into the PUD, and one of the parcels will remain for agricultural use.

What happened: The council approved the 2016 budget for Westfield.

Why it matters: Members of the council said they tried to be responsive to concerns of the community and they are proud to approve the budget. “It’s a balanced budget, and it’s a very responsible budget.

What happened: The council approved an amendment to the Bridgewater Apartment Communities.

What happened: The city council heard an introduction to request an amendment by Bridgewater Club Management LLC to incorporate land into part of the Bridgewater PUD.

Why it matters: Sixty-six additional units will be constructed on 12 acres, including garage space for 74 cars and other amenities.

The Red Line applies for grant

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Attempts to begin construction on the Red Line have begun, as an application was recently submitted for construction a small starts grant.

The grant would cover up to 80 percent of the construction costs for Phase I of the Red Line project, which begins at 66th Street in Broad Ripple and extends south toward the University of Indianapolis.

The small starts grant is part of a federal grant program that consists of a competitive pool with different projects, bus rapid transit being one of the qualified programs.

“These grant programs have to get funded in the overall national budget, they have been very popular programs and if we don’t get the grant for Phase I, we are poised to reapply for the same grant,” said Bryan Luellen, director of public affairs for IndyGo. Once Phase I begins construction, Phase II will begin development. Phase II of the Red Line extends further north, from 66th Street in Indianapolis up through Carmel and Westfield, ending at Grand Park.

“When the Red Line is completely constructed, it will connect approximately 170,000 jobs which is a huge opportunity for getting people

access to work, and the other important component is economic development,” Luellen said. “So at these transit stations you will see private investment and new development.”

Yet Phase II through Westfield cannot begin until Phase I is funded. News of whether the grant was given or not will come in April.

“The Red Line is one of the best ways for central Indiana communities to band together to realize our regional economic development potential,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said.

“With this development in public transportation, mobility for our residents and visitors will be greatly improved.”

School board approves refinance

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Washington School Board met at 7 p.m. Oct. 13. The next school board meeting will be 7 p.m. Nov. 10 at 322 W. Main St., Westfield.

What happened: Robb Hedges, principal of Shamrock Springs Elementary School, presented to the board his plans on the Westfield Nature Preserve, a science facility at the elementary school.

What it means: Hedges reported he plans on using the pond as a learning environment for students with prairie grass, underwater viewing areas, balanced ecosystems and learning stations What happened: Bond refinances were approved, which reduces interest rates.

What it means: Come December, tax payers will save approximately $400,000. This does not give the school board any additional debt or extra bonds, but it will lower the interest rate.

What happened: The school board approved the 2016 budget.

Why it matters: No changes were made to the 2016 budget.

What happened: The board approved a renewal of the property casualty insurance through Liberty Mutual at a 2 percent lower rate.

What it means: With the stage collapse earlier this year, the school board was in a negotiating position for insurance bids. Regardless of the collapse, they received four bids and approved the renewal with Liberty Mutual at $365,763.

What happened: A policy was established stating that no alteration to the high school orchestra pit shall be made unless previously approved by the superintendent or his designee.

What it means: The orchestra pit is now locked down, and requires approval for any changes. Any staff cannot change the orchestra pit without its unlocking, which is only previously approved by the superintendent or the designee.

What happened: The board approved three grants, all for special education.

What it means: All federal grants were special education grants which had been received in the past, but since Westfield broke off from the Hamilton Boone Madison Special Services Cooperation, the board needed to accept the grants. One grant was for pre-school which totaled $26,109. The second grant totaled $1,142,337, which funds the majority of the schools’ special education services.

The last approved grant was a sub-grant not used by the co-op in the 2014-15 school year, which totaled $142,611.35.

Idea Farm first life sciences club at Westfield High School

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School librarian Joel Bruns’ new “Idea Farm” has two faces.

The first is to serve as a foundational life cover story sciences club for students interested in woodworking, technology, electronics and textiles.

The second goal is to be the pilot program for a possible business incubator to come to Westfield with Birch Dalton at the forefront. Dalton, city councilor Jim Ake, Derek Daly and other city leaders donated a check for $5,000 to Bruns to kick off Idea Farm.

The room for Idea Farm is in the Westfield High School library, a separate room with three different workbenches – one for woodworking, one for electronic components and one for textiles. Bruns is planning on bringing in a loom to assist with sewing and fabric projects. He has already acquired a 3-D printer, as well as woodworking tools.

“We launched this as a pilot program,” Bruns said. “We talked about having some collaborative efforts between students and local business guys in a couple of different ways, maybe having them come in to tweak projects.”

Bruns said he also hopes to mold Idea Farm into a project similar to the television show “Shark Tank,” where students can present their projects to businesses and get a feel for entrepreneurship and how to create a business plan.

“It’s been floating around in the back of my head for a long time,” Bruns said. “I would have been a better student if I had something like this available, and I really like building things, and I would have learned a lot by doing this.”

Currently, Bruns has approximately 10 students working together in the different aspects of the project. Briana Kennedy, a WHS senior, is one of the students involved in the textiles portion.

“I think Bruns is the only person who can pull it off, and I hope more people join so we can make it bigger,” Kennedy said. “Westfield is one of a kind. Bruns is one of a kind, so I think this idea is one of a kind. I love that this idea is one of the first in the area, and we hope it expands.”

The students involved are working together to try and incorporate all portions of Idea Farm into one project. Meanwhile, Kennedy is working on her own project with textiles.

“I want to see if I can make an article of clothing that (other members) can watercolor on,” Kennedy said. “You can wash it off and do a different design, so I’m trying to figure that out material wise.”

Although Idea Farm is up and running, Bruns and his students are still looking for different materials that can aid in their creations.

Any businesses that have spare woodworking tools or textile materials they are willing to donate, can email Bruns at brunsj@ wws.k12.in.us.

F R O M T HE B A C K SH O P Has GOP quit Obamacare fight?

This is astute quizzing by a capital journalist: David M. Drucker, senior congressional correspondent for the Washington Examiner, wonders if the Republican Party has “given up on getting rid of Obamacare.” Great point.

At its core is the Grand Junction Gateway sub-district and the suitable use of parcels and architectural designs therein. The amendment focuses specifically on the quadrants of the U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 junction. “This area is the primary gateway into Westfield and therefore plays a critical role in the community’s economic development strategy,” said Matt Skelton, director of economic and community development. We agree.

Lack of counsel

Commentary by Terry Anker

Experts, consultants and professionals – oh my! We are constantly surrounded by the promise of secret solutions and quick fixes. These experts tell us that if we could only get the right advice, our challenges would be resolved and our futures would brighten.

Specialization, perhaps more than any other single element of human evolution, has allowed for the expansion of our individual quality of life. Yet, it has also fostered unprecedented dependency. There was a time, not that long ago, when we each were able to maintain our own automobiles, grow and prepare our own food, file our own taxes, and repair our own homes. The degree of complexity now built into these machines and systems has excluded the average human from being able to participate.

It is always good to have the insight of someone who has traveled the path before embarking on a journey; however, we may have become so dependent upon the prom-

ise of easy answers that we are dismissing our personal responsibility and potential to learn these trades. Does the constant reliance on so-called experts beg the question, “How is the status determined?” Is it based upon academic training, credentialing, practical experience or simply a title on a business card?

It would be a deep error to overlook the advisory class en masse because after all, is it really possible to be a jack of all trades? An old proverb asserts “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” So, how do we trust and make good use of professional advisors without descending into a trap where those making our decisions are less competent than had we simply done the work ourselves?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K There are obstacles. You can’t change that. But you can change your attitude about obstacles.

And that is the key to finding a way through.

– Tim Kight

My husband Doo and I had an epic blow-up the other night, so much so that we have already dubbed it the “Controhumor versial Phone Call Incident of 2015.” The cool part, other than the fact that I actually yelled a swear word, in anger, at him, on purpose, which has never before happened in the 25 year history of our relationship, is the way we handled the reconciliation. For once, impersonal technology saved the day.

First, the fight. Doo took a conference call at 9:15 p.m. in bed as I was trying to sleep.

He assured me it would only last five minutes, but 30 minutes later he was still on. I finally snapped, emphatically articulated the aforementioned curse, and caused Doo to totally lose his schtick. Trust me when I say his reaction was impressively combustive.

Fortunately, we recognized that we were both too exhausted to sort through the debris in the moment, and decided to postpone “the talk” until the mutually agreed upon future time of “later.” I slept terribly, as did Doo, and busy schedules kept us from even seeing each other the following day. Doo was literally asleep before I returned home from the kids’ carpool schlep.

The next morning I tested the waters. I sent a beautiful email that would have made any marital counselor proud. I took responsibility for my role and apologized for my behavior, I explained how his actions had made me feel, and inserted just the right amount of humor to show I wasn’t angry anymore.

A few hours later came Doo’s reply. He also owned up to his part in the CPCI, said he was sorry, and thanked me for getting the forgiveness ball rolling. And of course, he was obnoxiously funny. Done. Fight over.

Now maybe email isn’t the “recommended” way to communicate after a big argument, but Doo and I are both too hot-headed to demonstrate grace and understanding faceto-face. We need the ability to organize and edit our thoughts before the other hears (or reads) them. For us, email is the perfect solution.

Peace out.

Things learned at my 50th reunion Commentary by Dick Wolfsie If you wear the wrong name tag, most people won’t know the difference for at least an hour. humor The group I hung out with in 1965 didn’t take drugs. Now, we all do.

All the girls who said they once had a crush on me should have mentioned this five decades ago.

“So, how have you been?” is a really stupid question to ask someone you haven’t seen in 50 years.

People will remember stuff about you that even you don’t remember. This is not anything to be concerned about. I hope.

I hugged people I would never have hugged in 1965.

I swear there were three guys gobbling down the shrimp at the buffet table who were not in our class.

A few people thought I was Dick Wolf, who produced the hit show “Law and Order,” and that I had simply shortened my name from Wolfsie. I let them think they were right.

I told many of the women they looked great

Another mass killing and another gun control debate. Reading, watching and interacting in the increasingly divisive gun control and shrill gun conversation this weekend reinforced an understanding that apparently both sides are beyond addressing the actual problem and working toward a rationale compromise within the framework of the Constitution.

Anti-gunners easily dismiss pro-gunners as delusional nutty cowboys. Pro-gunners, not to be outdone, just as easily dismiss anti-gunners as weenie Euro wannabees.

Anti-gunners believe that guns themselves are the “cause” of murders and want to restrict their availability, positing that this will help end the violence. Pro-gunners believe that the number of unhinged violent people is increasing and that guns are needed for protection, not just from tyrannical governments, but also the growing number of crazies bent on doing harm.

Regardless of position, the issue boils down to this: How much liberty are we willing to

for 68. Larry Leventhal told them they looked great for 48. Guess who did better with the ladies in high school?

All the women at the reunion admitted to having a crush on the math teacher, Mr. Walsh. And so did two of the guys.

It was great to see some old faces, although some of us had new faces over the old ones.

Despite a good cross-section of race and religion, we all had two things in common: Social Security and Medicare.

It was great to see Michael, although he’s Madeleine now.

Some people danced, but there wasn’t nearly as much making out on the dance floor as 50 years ago.

I am the only alumni now living in Indiana.

How much liberty are we willing to cede?

Commentary by Carl Brizzi

cede in exchange for apparent security against the abusers? The right to protect ourselves, like other fundamental rights, is rooted in the Constitution and essential to our country’s commitment to individual liberty. Rights are defined in the context of absolutism, otherwise they would not be a right. This right, like it or not, is one of those absolute rights. And, like all rights, it will always be abused by some. Abusers of the “right to bear arms” will, by definition, misuse weapons. And the misuse of weapons, by definition, will inevitably cause our society harm. The commitment to upholding fundamental rights sometimes causes great harm. The pain associated with the harm doesn’t diminish the value of the right, nor the government’s obligation to respect it. In other words, rights are expensive because they are worth having.

Couple shares why Carmel is a good place to look for ghosts

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com For Westfield residents Nicole and Michael Kobrowski, exploring paranormal activity isn’t just for Halloween.

“For us, ghosts are for halloween all seasons,” said Nicole, 47.

The couple has been operating Historic Indiana Ghost Walks & Tours since 2002 and gives about 50 tours all year around, mostly in Hamilton Co. Nicole has been researching ghosts for more than 30 years since she grew up in a house that she believed was haunted in Anderson. She met and married a friendly German man named Michael, now 44, during her time overseas and they moved to Hamilton Co. in 2000.

In addition to the tours, they founded a niche publishing company called Unseenpress. com in 2006 and Nicole published her first book, “Haunted Backroads: Central Indiana.”

She’s published four other books since: “The Encyclopedia of Haunted Indiana,” “Ghosts of Westfield,” “Ghosts of Madison County,” “Indiana and Fractured Intentions: A History of Central State Hospital for the Insane.”

The couple also helps organizations that have haunted buildings by conducting haunted overnight investigations as fundraisers.

For more, visit unseenpress.com/general/ tours.htm.

How does Carmel compare to other places like Westfield, Fishers, Noblesville and

Michael and Nicole Kobrowski explore haunted places year-round. (Submitted photo)

Indianapolis when it comes to ghosts?

Indianapolis is large and older so one would expect more stories. Noblesville was wild and a bit woolly, which also lends itself to ghosts. Fishers is interesting because aside from a couple of cemeteries there aren’t many hauntings we know of. Some people believe it is because all of the old buildings are gone, but if anything the new construction should stir them up a bit. Westfield has a lot of lovely ghosts from the Underground

Railroad period and beyond. Carmel is unique. Physically, it is an eclectic mesh of old and new, and we have heard of some stories in newer buildings that we’re going to check out this winter. However, overall Carmel seems to lag behind in the ghost department.

What characteristics are usually found in a place that’s haunted? Is it just old?

Ghosts are for all seasons and all places.

They don’t just reside in old homes. We’ve

experienced activity and interviewed people who live in brand new homes with activity. It is what happened on the land, and with the organic things that are in the homes, the furniture and other possessions brought in and what might be attached to people in the buildings.

How do you know which stories of ghosts are real and which ones are not?

After years of research, you can weed some out by instinct, but you can also weed them out by asking the right questions. When we interview people, we have no reason not to believe them, and it is disheartening when someone gives you a “story” when they feel they have something to gain (such as being written about in a book). We also try to investigate as many of the stories as possible through paranormal investigation to try to prove or disprove them. It is always very exciting to get the same personal type ghost story about the same place from people who do not know each other.

Top 3 haunted places in Carmel According to Nicole and Michael Kobrowski 1. Woody’s Library Restaurant (40 E. Main St.) 2. Illusions (969 Keystone Way) 3. The old TGI Fridays on U.S. 31 (now razed and turning into a Huntington Bank) For more on these local haunted places, visit currentnightandday.com.

Arnold shows in ‘The Game’s Afoot’ DOUG ANDERSON

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jean Arnold enjoys doing comedic roles, and that’s a good thing.

“They’re challengPerformance ing, but they are done a lot more frequently,” Arnold said. “Sometimes it’s easier to sell tickets to comedies because we have enough drama already in life. People are more apt to see those kinds of shows.”

“The Game’s Afoot” will be presented by Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre from Oct. 23 to Nov. 7 at the Tarkington in Carmel.

Arnold “This is the third Ken Ludwig show that I’ve done there,” said Arnold, who plays Madge in “The Game’s Afoot.”

“The show has a lot of physical humor in it, which is fun, but it’s challenging to get choreographed to where it looks like it is not choreographed,” Arnold said. “My role is a little departure from my usual. She is a little more of a tough broad. This take place in 1936, so I’m trying to channel (actress) Eve Arden. I’m paired up with my good friend

“The Game’s Afoot” is a comic mystery.

HCAA ready for annual fall show

By Sam Elliott • news@currentinwestfield.com Members of the Hamilton County Artists’ Association will make a temporary move from its home at the Birdie Gallery as the Art 65th annual fall art show is set to return to Hamilton East Public Library beginning Nov. 1.

“This is our big show,” HCAA President Linda Tyler said. “We have ongoing shows at our gallery in Noblesville, which is at Fifth and Cherry (Streets), but once a year we go into the library in Noblesville and do a big show for about two weeks.”

The fall show runs through Nov. 13, during the library’s normal hours — 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays and from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Sundays. Between 30 and 35 HCAA member artists are expected to participate, each showing between one and three pieces.

The association will name a “Best in Show” winner from the event and attending guests will have the opportunity to vote for the show’s most popular artist award.

An opening reception will take place from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Nov. 1, allowing the public

Guests at the 2013 fall art show enjoy local works. (Submitted photo)

to meet and speak with artists while enjoying refreshments, live music and painting demonstrations.

“The library is a very busy place, so it brings more people in, and it gives us an opportunity to show more pieces because our gallery has limited space,” Tyler said.

While the HCAA artists will be at the library, the Birdie Gallery will host non-member artists for the association’s annual Community Creates show, beginning Oct. 22, through Nov. 13.

The Community Creates open house will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 23, including an awards ceremony at 7 p.m. For more, visit hcaa-in.org.

Tailgating for the season

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley If you enjoy Halloween season with pumpkin carving, corn stalks, orange and black garlands or lights, then you probably should think about a Halloween-themed tailgate party. But what can one do to make the ambiance of the party appropriately colorful? Here are some ideas to dress up your tailgate party: • Pumpkins carved with team logo or letters • Trick-or-treat bags full of candy (this will get rid of your leftover candy) • Orange and Black Jello shots (nonalcoholic for high school tailgates) • Colorful streamers in orange and black (unless they are opponent’s colors) • Candy or caramel apples • Bob for apple game with a bucket of water (don’t forget to bring towels) • Sugar cookies decorated for Halloween Since we are at the end of October, we really need to start thinking about cold weather dishes to serve. Here’s a recipe for a favoritesoup that is very easy.

Italian wedding soup Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 cup diced onions, 1 cup chopped carrots (1/4 inches chop), 1 cup chopped celery (1/4 inches chop), 10 cups chicken stock, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 1/4 cup small pasta (shells, tubetini, stars or anything else small), 1/2 tsp dill weed, 10 oz. bag baby spinach washed and trimmed, 24 oz. bag Johnsonville Classic Italian Style Meatballs (pre-cooked) Preparation: Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Dice the onion, carrots and celery and set them aside, mixed, in a bowl. Wash the spinach, cut off the stems, and set aside.

Bake the meatballs in your oven according to

the package directions. When the meatballs are done, cool them enough to then cut them into halves.

Put the olive oil into a heavy large soup pot on medium low heat, and sauté onion, celery and carrots until soft (5 to 6 minutes.) Stir these veggies occasionally and add the wine and chicken stock as you bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the pasta and cook until it is tender (6 to 7 minutes.) Add the dill weed and meatballs and cook for one minute; then add the spinach, stir and cook for another minute.

This is ready to serve with grated parmesan cheese on top. It will make 10 good-size servings. This is great for cold weather.

Peruvian pumpkin stew

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Locro de Zapallo, “Peruvian Pumpkin Stew” is a dish that every time I make it takes me back home in a flash! Locro is peasant food from the Peruvian Andes. Its native ingredients are pumpkin, potatoes, corn and yellow pepper. This “delicioso” winter and rustic stew is pure comfort food!

Note: Many reasons to have pumpkin in your diet: it is a superfood! The list of vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients is endless. The Andean people are known to live long and healthy lives and it is believed that their pumpkin-rich diet contributes to this.

LOCRO DE ZAPALLO Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1/4 cup vegetable oil, cup of frozen or fresh corn kernels, 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1/2 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream, 1/2 cup feta cheese or queso fresco cut in 1 cm cubes and extra for garnish, pitted olives, Peruvian or Kalamata, 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped Directions: In a pot sauté onion in oil, add

garlic, aji amarillo, oregano, salt, pepper and squash (cut squash same size as potatoes).

Cook at low heat. When squash is soft add potatoes, green peas, corn and chicken broth. Stir well and cook till potatoes are done. Add milk or cream and cheese. Turn off the stove and let it rest for few minutes.

Serve with white rice. Garnish with feta cheese or queso fresco cut in a triangle, olives and sprinkle cilantro.

Correction: The recipe “Penne with 5 cheeses” published in Current on Oct. 6 inadvertently omitted a cheese. The missing ingredient is a 1/4 cup of crumbled gorgonzola cheese.

Dining out for pink begins Oct. 22 news@currentinwestfield.com On Oct. 22, the city of Carmel is participating in Dining Out For Pink. It’s an event held in the Carmel Arts & Design District where participating restaurants will donate a percentage of profits earned toward philanthropy the fight against breast cancer.

IU Health’s PR Coordinator Christina Summers said, “Everyone needs to eat, and there are some really fantastic restaurants. The money goes toward neighbors, families, and friends in their fight against breast cancer.”

This same event is happening in The Shops at Perry Crossing in Plainfield in partnerships with IU Health North and West. The proceeds will directly benefit the breast cancer patient care and research programs within these hospitals.

IU Health is fully accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, and there were no suggestions given for improvement during the accreditation process.

IU Health’s Director of Philanthropy Tracy Miller is proud to be a part of such a great program, and she recognizes the benefit of community support.

“Having had survivorship events and seen so many women come out stronger on the other side of their diagnosis, I just want readers to know they are helping women feel encouraged by walking alongside them,” Miller said.

Muldoon’s co-owner and breast cancer survivor, Beth Hohlier, praises IU Health’s breast care programs. She

Patients at any Riverview Health location may use the transportation service as an alternative to driving. The service operates weekdays between 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The cost is $10 per round-trip. Call 473-2323 to schedule a ride. Correction: In a previous edition, Current stated the partnership was with Hamilton County Express Public Transit, but the partnership is with Janus Developmental Services.

Suicide prevention website – Community Health Network recently launched a new website, www.HaveHope.com, that provides resources for teenagers, parents and educators to learn the warning signs and risk factors associated with suicide among youth in Indiana. The website is part of Community’s Zero Suicide initiative.

described being given massages and listening to a pianist play during her treatment. These services allowed her to feel supported.

“I have heard people say there is pink everywhere, and they are almost desensitized to giving,” Holier said, “But this event goes to local support. There isn’t a cure so it doesn’t matter how much has been raised, there still needs to be more.”

IU Health turns pink – Indiana University Health North and Saxony hospitals will turn their campuses pink in October, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The public is invited to join the cause by donating $10 or more to honor someone whose life was touched by breast cancer, or to express gratitude toward someone who helped you through your breast cancer journey.

Fall time great for home remodeling Commentary by David Decker Fall has officially arrived in Indiana! That means cooler weather, changing leaves and of course, Colts football. indoor living But did you know that fall is also a great time to remodel your home?

Remodeling is a great way to improve your home any time of year, but we think this fall is an especially good time to start a project. Here of some of our favorite reasons to do a fall remodel: More time indoors As we move closer to winter and the weather gets colder, we naturally start spending more time indoors. You’re going to spend a lot more time looking at your surroundings. It only makes sense to create a space that you love. Updating before winter insures that your time indoors will be time enjoyed.

Holiday ready One of the bright spots in winter is the holidays. They are right around the corner, so you’ll want to start your project now in order to be ready. An updated kitchen can make family meals and celebrations more enjoyable for everyone! And while we always work hard to minimize disruptions and distractions, starting your project now means things can

be over and done before the stress of the holiday season begins.

Energy efficiency Extra lighting, entertaining and lots of activity always come with the holidays. Making your home more energy-efficient beforehand is a smart decision for your pocketbook. Remodels that improve efficiency in your home can pay for themselves in the long run. Plus, it’s always a nice bonus to buyers when you are ready to sell.

Be ready for spring Speaking of selling your home, the real

estate market always heats up in the spring.

Be ready before everyone else and get your remodeling projects done now. That gives you a leg up and possibly makes the entire selling process a little bit easier.

Dangerous meets energetic in outside projects Commentary by Randy Sorrell

The counter and cabinet is constructed of Ipe, an environmentally harvested Brazilian hardwood that behaves like steel. (Submitted photo)

Mashing textures, colors and a variety of materials on luxury outdoor living projects is stimulating. It’s also outdoor living dangerous and energetic. Dangerous because too much variety can detract from the logical flow and cause distress. But when you get it right, the energy is vacation-like! Of course … we get it right.

This micro patio is curled up in the middle of the Villages of West Clay and a brief glimpse of the entire space. Check out the use of color and materials in the grill station – materials which are not often married together in the Midwest – which was precisely the objective, to give it a forward metro statement, as if we had suddenly landed in NYC. GRILL STATION The counter and cabinet is constructed of Ipe, an environmentally harvested Brazilian hardwood that behaves like steel. It’s very dense and deceivingly heavy. So dense that nails or screws must be pre-drilled. It ages beautifully, like you and I, and does not require staining or treating. Notice the black steel columns and horizontal support for the

side elevated bar? For clarity, the steel and ipe are echoed elsewhere in the project and beautifully glues the space together.

The original patio surface was retained and carved out in select areas to remove awkward curves that detracted from the edgy feel we were searching for. Pennsylvania slate/blue stone, was inserted which dangerously introduced another texture, color and material for provocative results.

The homeowner’s brilliant eye for design and color compelled the bright orange steel stools. High quality cushy outdoor furniture with vibrant patterns, a generous size ornamental rug and gobs of comfy pillows complete the space. Actually, a happy home and this thriving family joyfully complete the space.

And that’s what happens when energetic design meets dangerous materials … luxury outdoor living at its finest!

Blowing the cover on Siesta Commentary by Zach Dunkin

With its sugary, white quartz sand and stunning sunsets, it’s no wonder the “Gulf Coast’s best-kept secret” is no travel longer hush-hush. Just ask a number the increasing visitors who make an annual return trek to Siesta Key, a gorgeous barrier island located just off the coast of Sarasota.

Unlike beaches made up mostly of pulverized coral, SK’s two beaches — Siesta Beach and Crescent Beach — have sand that is 99 percent quartz. It is so reflective that it always feels cool underfoot, even on the hottest of days. According to the Travel Channel and “Dr. Beach,” who annually lists Siesta Beach in the America’s Top 10 and sometimes No. 1, these beaches are considered among the most beautiful in the world.

While condo renters have their own “private” beach areas, a wide public beach is also available.

The shallow water depth in the near-shore area together with year-round lifeguard protection make this one of the safest beaches in the country and great for children. The beach is relatively “family-safe” with no open bars

set up along the water.

The sunsets aren’t rated, but it’s a nightly tradition after all day on the beach for folks to gather with their drinks and lawn chairs to watch the sun dip into the gulf. Then, they’re off to dinner.

Nightlife for adults includes open-air, resorttype bars and restaurants in the “village.” Favorites include the Siesta Key Oyster Bar (affectionately called SKOB) and the Daiquiri Deck (enough said). Although the food is affordable and average, the kids will love the menu and the outdoor seating on picnic tables at the Old Salty Dog.

Three tips to a doggone good time Commentary by Beverly Randolph We prayed to “make the cut” at the recently opened Central Bark Park in Carmel. Fortunately, we did, and it has transtravel formed our lives. Honeybear, our 8-year-old golden retriever, has found new energy and handsomely gallops around the park. Pet-parents also get exercise, increased Vitamin D intake and get to make new acquaintances, like their doggie pals. It is my hope the following guidelines will ensure that you, too, have a doggone good, safe time.

Have Fido decline serving on the greeting committee.

Like with humans, proper introductions are important. New dogs entering the park can become anxious, overwhelmed and potentially aggressive. Keep yours away and let newly arrived dogs integrate on their own schedule.

Remove leash before entering.

The double-gate system allows for leashes to be removed before entering. This provides a safer environment for canines and humans alike, by preventing leash aggression incidents. Your pups won’t dart around the park with their leashes flailing behind.

Keep an eye on your dog at all times.

Dogs Honeybear and Lilly in the Carmel dog park. (Submitted photo)

Try not to look down on your phone or book, plop down on a bench or chat with fellow pet lovers too much. Interact with your best friend, and watch your dog’s body language. Signs to remove Fido include ears pulled back, dilation of pupils and tails tucked.

Do not let dogs “work it out.”

Catherine’s room is missing Commentary by Don Knebel Once known as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the Amber Room is missing. But visitors to St. Petersburg, Russia, travel can see (but not photograph) a recreation of that famous room.

Amber, the source of dinosaur DNA in “Jurassic Park,” is fossilized tree resin, created over millions of years. Most of the world’s amber, used to create orange/yellow gemstones, is mined near Kaliningrad, a Russian city on the Baltic known as Königsberg when part of Prussia. In 1701, Frederick I, the first King of Prussia, built a room in his Berlin palace lined with fragile panels of transparent amber, laid over gold leaf. In 1716, Tsar Peter the Great of Russia was so impressed that Frederick’s successor gave him the room to seal an alliance between Russia and Prussia. The Amber Room was eventually installed in Catherine’s Palace near St. Petersburg, incorporating additional amber panels from Prussia.

As Hitler’s troops neared St. Petersburg in 1941, workers attempted to conceal the Amber Room by covering the amber walls with paper. The German troops were not fooled and shipped the looted room to Germany, where it was reassembled in the Königsberg Castle. In

Catherine’s Palace, near St. Petersburg, Russia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

1943, with Allied troops advancing on Königsberg, the museum’s director was instructed to dismantle the Amber Room and ship it away. In August 1944, British forces bombed Königsberg, destroying the museum. The Amber Room vanished, with theories about its mysterious disappearance ranging from its being obliterated in the bombing to being hidden away somewhere in Germany. With the original Amber Room missing, Russian and German craftsmen spent 24 years and millions of dollars meticulously recreating it in Catherine’s Palace, where Vladimir Putin dedicated
