To our readers: Effective with the Oct. 29 editions of Current you will notice a change.

To better serve you and our advertisers, we are relocating our printing operations to a different plant.

As you will come see, the press setup there will provide you, our advertisers and us improved color reproduction, ink density and color registration. In addition, the canvas of our papers will shrink somewhat.

Feedback we received after a press test was incredibly positive, and so the decision to change was made.

We hope you’ll find the improved print version to be easier to read and, perhaps, a bit more portable.

Let us know your thoughts at info@youarecurrent.com, and, as always, thank you for reading Current.

Sincerely, Brian Kelly and Steve Greenberg, co-founders and owners

Inaugural mother-son dance set

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com After wild success each year at the annual daddy-daughter dance, the City of Westfield THINGS TO DO began fielding requests for a mother-son dance.

They took the requests to heart, and the inaugural mother-son dance will take place 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Bridgewater Club, 3535 E. 161st St. “We’ve been doing a daddy-daughter dance for three years,” said Emily Clark, a community events coordinator for the City of Westfield. “As a result of that, the community started asking for something for mothers and sons.”

In addition to dancing, there will be a photo booth and games. A professional photographer will take free photos of the duos.

Snacks and desserts will be available. The event is superhero themed. The dress code is semi-formal, but attendees are welcome to incorporate the superhero theme into their attire.

“As far as activities go, we will have a craft for the little guys to do, making superhero masks,” Clark said.”

Tickets are $10 each. Registration Clark is available online. The event is recommended for kids ages 3 to 10.

“That age is kind of what the activities are geared around,” Clark said.

There are 350 spots available. For more, or to register, visit westfieldwelcome.com/ event/mothersondance.

City council hears introduction to Westgate amendment

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com At its Oct. 14 meeting, the Westfield City Council heard an introduction to an amendment to Westgate, DEVELOPMENT a planned unit development that was originally passed by the then-town council in 2006.

The site is 230 acres on the north side of 166th Street between Towne Road and Little Eagle Creek Avenue. The proposed amendment would modify the architectural standards.

Jon Dobosiewicz, a land use professional with Nelson and Frankenberger, presented on behalf of Lennar Homes.

“Lennar is requesting an amendment to the approved PUD to encourage architectural diversity and enhance streetscape within Westgate,” Dobosiewicz said. “The proposed amendment doesn’t increase subdivision density or alter the minimum lot standards or modify the approved primary plat.”

Current architectural standards don’t require specific items, and the amendment would require additional architectural standards for high-visibility home sites.

With the amendment, all homes would have decorative garage doors, and all homes on corner lots would have masonry, brick or stone wainscot. All homes on 171st Street would have a minimum masonry wainscot on front elevation in addition to the homes

on the corner lots, which would have a masonry wainscot on all four sides. All homes facing Towne Road would have brick or masonry on the entire first floor.

Community amenities also would change if the amendment is approved. Originally, the 2006 PUD planned for one pocket park and an island with a pedestrian bridge in the retention pond. Instead of the island and pedestrian bridge, the new amendment would call for two pocket parks.

“They feel there could be long-term maintenance issues for the HOA and a liability (with the pedestrian bridge),” Dobosiewicz said.

Since the proposal was just an introduction, no action was taken, but council president Mark Keen made a comment at the end of the introduction.

“I remember this. This is one of the victims of the Great Recession where there were proposed things rolling and then boom,” Keen said. “Could someone walk through here assuming this would sell and just build what was approved back in 2006 without the improvements?”

Dobosiewicz said that yes, that was possible.

“How many of these ticking time bombs out there do we have?” Keen asked. Planning staff estimated there were two other similar instances that were approved in that timeframe.

A long-awaited grocery store is finally taking steps to approve its building and the surrounding outlots COVER STORY with the City of Westfield in order to build on the southeast quadrant of Spring Mill Road and Ind. 32.

Meijer purchased the 33-acre property in April 2016, but residents have heard little on when the company actually planned to build.

Now, Meijer is working through the planning process with the city and has appeared several times before the Advisory Plan Commission. The company is currently going through the approval process for a zoning amendment, a detailed development plan and a secondary plat. “(The detailed development plan) is the building review, and then the secondary plat further subdivides the lots within the area,” city planner Caleb Ernest said.

The primary plat and overall development plan originally were presented at the Sept. 16 plan commission meeting, and that proposal establishes the boundary lines and right-of-way. The zoning amendment is required to advance through the approval process because the planned unit develop-

ment, the Maple Knoll PUD, where the store is set to be built, was created in February 2004.

“At that time, a Meijer was not contemplated within that zoning, even though this area in the PUD was envisioned for employment,” Ernest said. “The zoning calls for an

If approved, the Meijer store would be 160,000 square feet, and a gas station on the property would be 3,500 square feet.

The proposal is tentatively scheduled to appear at the Westfield City Council’s Nov. 11 meeting for the zoning amendment adoption, but it is uncertain when, if approved, the Meijer would begin construction.

“They (Meijer) have to work through a lot of revisions through our community development team, and I’m sure the (city) council has questions as well. We are watching the process unfold,” said Vicki Duncan Gardner, the city’s communications director. “Several of the council members, rightly so, have talked about this (corner) as our (city’s) front door. We want to make sure (Meijer) adheres to what (planners) are telling them.

It is going to be a very visible location.”

There also are several outlots associated with the 33-acre parcel, and Meijer and its gas station are only two of several companies which may build there. There are several outlots along Spring Mill Road and Ind. 32.

If approved, in addition to constructing its store and gas station, Meijer also would add a portion to the Midland Trace Trail, which spans the southern border of its property.

“The trail comes in from the east and then jumps south and cuts behind (Meijer’s) property and jumps back up north. There’s no trail in the spot (behind Meijer). They’re going to create it,” Duncan Gardner said.

“The trail ends on the west side of Tractor Supply.”

Meijer’s portion of the trail would be approximately a quarter mile.

Current made several unsuccessful attempts to contact Meijer officials.

ESSAY

LETTER

A skill mastered

Vote for Snedeker

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor, Kate Snedeker is an experienced and pragmatic person of public service background. She is not anyone’s rubber stamp, but as a fiscal conservative with direct skills from having worked in the (former Indianapolis Mayor Steve) Goldsmith administration, she also is not against everything.

We need a discerning, non-conspiracy theorist promoter of the common good! We need Kate. She will protect taxpayers and foster a dynamic future for Westfield. She will ask questions and insist on prudent courses of action without doing the damage of full-on ideological obstructionists.

Kate is invested here, knowledgeable about the community and local government process, and she is a person of complete integrity.

It may feel strange to so many committed Republicans to pull the “I” (independent) lever for Kate, but these are strange times, and we can ill afford to have earth-scorching obstructionism in the mix, now or ever.

I will select the “I” because I know about Kate, and I want her to represent my family and my city.

Scott Robison, Westfield

Everything old is new again. As life moves ever too rapidly from one moment to the next, icons appear and then fade into our shared experience. One minute, we are all enjoying “Scooby Doo,” the next is “Hill Street Blues,” then “Friends,” then, in an instant, “The Big Bang Theory.”

Our favorite actors and tag lines give way to new ones. The coffee mugs and T-shirts reminding us “let’s be careful out there” are traded for ones bearing images of Ron Swanson.” Our deep, emotional investment in whether Tony Soprano would ultimately get whacked turns out to be no more important to the subsequent generations than who shot JR. It is all quite disheartening. Did we waste those years spent waiting to see if Coyote would finally get the Road Runner for dinner? But surely, our perfecting the ideal way to separate Oreos or rapidly remove the orange from Cheetos will have use as we accelerate even further into adulthood, but it doesn’t seem to come up in the corporate cafeteria as it did in the elementary school lunchroom.

Still for many of us, a skill mastered only requires an opportunity to reemerge. Let each generation decide the content. But shouldn’t our grandkids know how to drain the crème filling out of a Twinkie?

Don’t our children deserve to know the sublime joy of Igor’s hump in “Young Frankenstein?” And, aren’t we the ones to tell them? Even more, it seems that Flamin’ Hot Cheetos pair beautifully with an aged barrel-strength bourbon. We can still learn!

Grab a rabbit’s foot Commentary by Danielle Wilson Are you superstitious? I am. I truly believe the only way the University of Louisville can win a game is if I wear my Cards T-shirt with a pair of Express jeans HUMOR and avoid caffeine and pickles for the entire day. And that hearing Rod Stewart’s “Forever Young” in full means a family member is pregnant. I also never take chances with sidewalk cracks, tails-up pennies, spilled salt or black cats, for obvious reasons.

Part of my superstitious nature I blame on genetics. I am a ginger twin and have supposedly inherited special sensory connections to my sister. Although, it’s really only worked one time, and that was on her end. Furthermore, by all accounts, my maternal grandmother was “born under the veil” and therefore had “the sight.” And my mom is extremely intuitive; she always knew when I was “with child,” even before

Rod Stewart or I knew.

So I’ve grown up with both an appreciation for trusting my instincts and the belief that “signs” foretelling the future do exist for those who choose to read them. (Case in point: My favorite show, “This is Us,” had a whole storyline devoted to the Vietnam War; I was then awarded a teaching grant to Vietnam. Coincidence? I think not.)

Anyway, I bring this topic up because the most superstitious (and awesome-est) holiday of the year, Halloween, is upon us.

Weird things can and will happen, especially if you’re not prepared. So, grab a rabbit’s foot, wear some garlic, and take care around mirrors. And if you hear “Forever Young,” congratulations! Peace out.

The Handyman’s Tale Commentary by Dick Wolfsie While waiting in the doctor’s office the other day, I picked up a copy of “Handyman Magazine.”

HUMOR One story was what to do if your Gorilla Glue hardens in the tube, and there also was one on how to dig post holes in sandy soil. I read both of those carefully. After 40 years, Mary Ellen and I are always looking for something new to talk about. There was a three-page spread on “How to Cure a Sick Ceiling Fan.” What would the fan be complaining of? Periodic dizziness?

One piece was called “Best Advice for DIYers.” I thought it was going to be about how to successfully drink and drill at the same time. Then I discovered that a DIY is a Do-ItYourselfer. Another entry was titled “How to Make a Hidden Cutting Board.” I can never find ours when we need it, so I decided to skip that kitchen improvement project.

The best read was “Maintaining Your Chimney.” It contains a list of what you will need to do the job, stuff found around most houses. You need brushable crown sealer, chimney water repellent and a stainless steel chimney cap. I had all of that in the garage except for the brushable crown sealer, the chimney water repellent and a stainless steel chimney cap. Another article began, “Trying to run fish tape through an insulated stud bay can be a nightmare.” You have to have a pretty dull imagination if this is what you have bad dreams about.

The regular monthly column is about making your own tools—a way to either save money or create a gadget not available in hardware stores. In this issue, the author showed how to take a long flexible, piece of tubing and attach a flashlight at the end for work in dark, hard-to-reach places, as in a do-it-yourself plumbing project. It was really a neat gizmo, but I ripped the page out and tossed it in the trash. My next colonoscopy is coming up in 2020 and with all the costcutting in medicine, the fewer doctors who know about this, the better.

Librarian’s obituary sparks playwright to create ‘Alabama Story’; ATI to present

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The concept for “Alabama Story” came to Kenneth Jones while reading The New York Times’ obituary of Emily Reed in PLAY 2000.

Reed, who was born in North Carolina in 1910, moved to Indiana as a baby. She grew up in Culver, where her father was a doctor and earned her undergraduate degree from Indiana University.

She eventually became the director of the Alabama Public Library Service Division.

“In 1959, she was persecuted by politicians because she defend a children’s book about a white rabbit that marries a black rabbit,” Jones said. “In Montgomery, Alabama, and other places, the mix of races was not embraced. I was fascinated by it. I thought she was a big American character with big ideas and big drive to protect her world.”

Actors Theatre of Indiana will present the Indiana premiere of “Alabama Story” Oct. 25 through Nov. 17 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts. Jones will be there for the opening weekend.

Cynthia Collins plays Reed, who defended keeping Garth Williams’ book “The Rabbits’ Wedding,” in the library. A southern state senator named Edward Oswell Eddins tries to ban the book in 1959, accusing it of promoting integration and interracial marriage.

“These people went to the extreme to stop integration,” Collins said.

Collins said ATI co-founder Don Farrell brought the play as one of his choices to the table for the new season.

“He said, ‘Cindy you could be the librarian, and I can be the senator. These roles are really good for us,’” Collins said.

Collins said she had to read it twice to really sink into it and decided it was a great part.

“She’s kind of an unsung hero, very understated,” she said. “She did win the Freedom to Read medal right before she died. She knew it, but she died before it

could be presented to her.”

Farrell, 50, plays the character based on E.O. Eddins, who is named Sen. E.W. Higgins.

“He was a big segregationist in the lines of (former Alabama Gov. George) Wallace,” said Farrell, who was born in North Carolina and eventually moved to Chattanooga to an Atlanta suburb.

Farrell said it is difficult to repeat some of the racist lines, like “we stick with our own kind.”

“For some reason, it wouldn’t get in my head,” he said. “But growing up, I knew a lot of people that held these beliefs. I don’t think it’s indicative of just the South.

“There are still lessons where we came from and how far we have to go.”

Maeghan Looney, based in Chicago, plays Lily Whitfield.

“Lily is a born and bred daughter of Alabama. Her father is the head of cotton company,” Looney said. “She also grew up in a sheltered bubble.”

Jones created fictional character, Whitfield, and a black man named Joshua Moore, played by Cameron Bass, to illustrate the social environment of the time.

Looney said her character and Moore were childhood friends.

“But they hadn’t seen each other in 20 years,” said Looney, a Huntington North

High School and Ball State graduate. “It’s about coming to grips with what happened in the past. They see it differently because of their place in this era. It’s about how to move forward from there.”

Jane Unger, from Oregon, is serving as director. Unger was contacted just a few weeks before rehearsals began because the original director had to withdraw for family reasons.

Blueprint for Improvement: More room for family on Sweetwater Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

Background: Built in 1974, this waterfront home in Ninevah, Ind., is a welcome weekend getaway destination for a busy Fishers family.

THE CHALLENGE The 1,700-square-foot, two-story home didn’t offer the homeowners and their grown children a lot of livable space, indoors or out.

Odd-sloped ceilings in the living and dining area cut into valuable floor space. The previous addition to the second floor wasn’t taking full advantage of the lake views.

After

THE SOLUTION 1. The small windows in the second-floor living area were replaced with a wide, four-panel sliding glass door, which offers unobstructed views of the water.

2. By adjusting the roofline on the second floor, the sloped ceiling in the living area was removed, providing an openness that the space was initially lacking.

3. Luxury vinyl flooring was chosen for the living area, thanks to its durability and water-resistant properties.

4. The second-floor deck was added and extends past the screened porch to provide ample room for relaxing with friends and family.

5. Tongue-and-groove carsiding was used on the second-floor deck ceiling.

Luna Park in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Sydney’s Luna Park face welcomes guests Commentary by Don Knebel Luna Park in Sydney, Australia, is among the world’s most iconic amusement parks. It also is among the world’s most TRAVEL haunted. In 1903, Luna Park, a spectacular new amusement park, opened on New York’s Coney Island.

The concept soon spread to Australia, with Luna Park Melbourne opening in 1912. In 1935, another Luna Park opened on Milsons Point along the north shore of Sydney Harbour. Luna Park Milsons Point was an immediate success, with people standing in long lines to ride the Big Dipper, a wooden roller coaster. Visitors entered through a huge face, which became the symbol of the park. Luna Park was particularly popular with American sailors on shore leave during World War II, leading to a temporary reputation for prostitution and brawling. In 1972, at the height of its popularity, Luna Park began staying open year-round, eliminating the winter downtime previously employed to maintain the rides. The decision proved disastrous. In April 1979, 13 people were

injured when one Big Dipper car smashed into another stalled by a malfunction. In June 1979, the park closed after a fire on the Ghost Train killed six children and one adult.

The park closed again in 1988 when inspectors found that several of the rides were unsafe. In 1994, noise complaints from nearby residents led to another closure. When Luna Park reopened in 1995 with greatly restricted hours, financial difficulties soon led to yet another closure. The park reopened in 2004, owned by the Luna Park Reserve Trust, a government agency. With newer and safer rides, Luna Park is again among Sydney’s most popular destinations. The 30-foot-wide smiling face at the entrance is the park’s eighth. Constructed in 1994 from polyurethane and modeled on an image of Old King Cole, it is registered as a heritage site by the government of New South Wales.
