LOOKING FOR NATURAL, ORGANIC OR GLUTEN-FREE ITEMS? KROGER MAKES IT SIMPLE. Kroger of Westfield is leading the way with a new approach to stocking natural foods.

Now, rather than having a separate section, natural, organic and gluten-free items are located throughout the store. Brian, the Natural Foods Specialist, says that as more and more customers began requesting health options, the store made the decision to incorporate them aisle by aisle. “A big part of our natural food offering is Kroger’s line of Simple Truth® and Simple Truth Organic® items. These are free of 101 artificial preservatives and ingredients, from high-fructose corn syrup to monosodium glutamate (MSG) and much more,” says Brian. “Plus, they all feature

Roundabout open at 161st and Oak Ridge

news@currentinwestfield.com

Road construction in Westfield is dying down as winter nears, and one of the biggest completions next to U.S. 31 is the roundabout placed at 161st Street and Oak construction Ridge Road.

City officials held a ribbon cutting for the roundabout Nov. 2.

“These roundabouts help us keep our commitment to creating a safe city for our residents,” Mayor Andy Cook stated in a press release.

“Roundabouts consistently are proven to be safer than four-way stops, and they actually move traffic through an intersection with less congestion.”

In addition to the completed construction, asphalt trails will border the perimeter of the roundabout, which aids in the Safe Routes to School Plan for Oak Trace Elementary School.

The plan aims to improve safety for students who walk or ride their bikes to school, as well as encourage more students to do so.

Funds from the 2014 utility sale in addition to funding from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization paid for the $1,328,503 construction cost.

According to Cook, the roundabout construction is some of the last road construction

planned in Westfield for the year, next to some resurfacing on Spring Mill and Carey Roads, and the extensions of Westfield Boulevard and Mill Street.

City officials held a ribbon cutting on Nov. 2 to celebrate the newly constructed roundabout at 161st Street and Oak Ridge Road.

The Trails development sent to city council

By Sam Elliott • news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission hosted public hearings for four proposed projects across the development city and unanimously voted to pass one through to the Westfield City Council with a positive recommendation during its first regular meeting of the month, Nov. 2.

On the east side of Oak Ridge Road and south of Ind. 32 with the Midland Trace Trail to the south and Monon Trail to the east, representatives of The Trails project presented site plans and design renderings and requested for approximately 13.75 acres to be rezoned from AG-SF1: Agriculture-Single Family Rural District to The Trails PUD District.

The Trails will include two lots — one for apartments on the east side of the property and the second for a family entertainment center housing laser tag, bowling, an arcade, meeting spaces and shopping and dining opportunities.

The approximately 70,000-square-foot, two-floor building would feature an additional 4,000 to 4,500 square feet of space on a second-floor mezzanine overlooking the Monon Trail while approximately another 3,000 square feet would be available for outdoor dining Dalton with direct access to the trail.

The commission approved sending the project to the city council with a positive recommendation on the condition that additional apartments be removed from the list of permitted uses for the second lot. Commission members also requested more detailed renderings of the family

entertainment center building.

Birch Dalton, presenting the project on behalf of EdgeRock Development, agreed to keep the second lot solely commercial without additional residential possibilities.

The project had a public hearing at the commission’s Sept. 8 meeting. Since then, the maximum building height for the apartments was changed from the originally proposed 120 feet to 80 feet. Additional changes since the public hearing included clarification of the connections to both the Midland Trace and Monon Trails, modifying the building materials requirements and confirmation that the bridge connecting the project’s two lots will be built at the same time as the rest of the frontage road instead of being phased in after.

The next Westfield Advisory Plan Commission meeting is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 16, at City Hall, 130 Penn St.

WHS band craft show set Nov. 21

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For the seventh year, the Westfield Band Booster Craft Show will return to Westfield High School. The show fundraiser takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 21 with 166 vendors that will be selling homemade or home-embellished items.

“It’s fun, we have a lot of unique and homemade items. One thing that makes us stand out is the kids. The band kids help out all day.

The vendors love it and come back since the band helps out,” said Kelli Trainor, co-chair of the event. “The kids play music and play holiday ensembles. They also have a bake sale.”

The craft show costs $2 to enter, and the band receives money from the vendor booth space, concessions and admissions.

“There’s a really wide assortment of things there. There’s always some cool stuff, even if you’re not into all the crafty stuff. It’s not all flowers,” said Kelli’s husband, Greg Trainor, who is also a co-chair. “We keep it balanced.

It’s a juried show.”

The band is in need of between $80,000 and $90,000 for instruments, and the craft show is the biggest fundraiser the band has.

In addition to the needed instruments, the

Farias gets Toastmaster award

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Rafaela Farias never had a problem singing in public.

She just wasn’t so sure she could give a speech, so she joined achievement the Westfield Toastmasters Club to challenge herself earlier this year.

“The assumption always was, ‘Rafaela could sing in front of thousands, so it must be easy for her to speak in front of thousands,’ and it’s just not the case,” Farias said. “When I sing, you can hear the sound of the crowd and people moving around. When I have to hear my voice in complete silence, and my voice was the only instrument that I could hear, it was very challenging. So I joined Toastmasters to help me be a better public speaker. When I sing, I’m singing other people’s words and thoughts. When I speak, it’s my own thoughts and own words.”

Farias won the humorous speech contest (5 to 7 minutes) in her Westfield chapter and then won in the first District 2 competition in Fishers Sept. 24.

She then placed second in the second District 2 contest in Indianapolis Oct. 22.

“I talked about my Barbie collection and some of the trouble they get into,” Farias said.

“I told how my fiancé hung them on the ceiling fan by their wrist and they were spinning around. He blamed it on his G.I. Joe doll and all that kind of fun stuff.”

Farias, who was named the Miss Indiana National Teenager in 1984, worked as a DJ for

WFBQ/WRZX and WNDE from 1995 until December 2012.

“As a radio personality you are often given scripted lines,” Farias said. “You have to perform the lines, but again, it wasn’t always my own thoughts.”

She quit the radio station to pursue work on her acrostic duo band “Note to Self.” She has been the lead singer for Don Stuck Band since 1996, and she’s also the lead singer in rock bands Password Reset and Dyrrisoft.

Farias now plans to dabble in standup comedy. She has twice performed at the White Rabbit in Fountain Square, where they have an open mic night.

“I think it will take me at least two years to get good at it,” she said.

Dispatches Clarification – At the St. Maria Goretti viewing at St. Maria Goretti Church, St. Maria Goretti’s skeletal remains were inside a wax figure in a glasssided casket. The veneration of her relics was said to be “a very positive and blessed experience for everyone.”

The first Holiday Shopping Extravaganza is Nov. 15 from 2 to 5 p.m. at Oak Manor Clubhouse, 16830 Oak Manor Dr., Westfield. The event is free to the public.

Ham. Co. Tourism Gives Back launches news@currentinwestfield.com For the project “Tourism Gives,” the Hamilton County Tourism staff identified nine organizations doing big things for the county community. Hamilton County Tourism asked for nominations of particularly stellar volunteers – those who regularly go “above and beyond” what is asked

of them. Next, Hamilton County Tourism staff put together special “staycation” packages with hotel, restaurant and attraction certificates from local tourism partners as a “thank you” for the giving these volunteers do every day. The catch? None of the volunteers had any prior knowledge of the covert giving operation.

To see more of the volunteers being surprised with their gifts, visit currentinwestfield.com.

Jordan competes in national clay championship

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Despite hurricane weather, Westfield High School student Spencer Jordan competed in the National Sporting competition Clays Championship in Texas late last month.

Over the summer, Jordan won the National Scholastic Clay Target Program Championship with two other boys he competed with, also placing second in skeet. The competition over the summer was only for younger shooters, but the competition in Texas included all ages.

“I got into clay target shooting a long time ago, just shooting clays for fun. Then we went into 4-H, and that got me into shooting competitively,” Jordan said.

Over the four days he spent in Texas, Jordan had to shoot 75 targets each day. The competitor who shoots the highest number of clays wins.

“You have to hit all the targets that you can and hope that the amount that you hit is more than the other person,” Jordan said.

To compete in the NSCC in Texas, there were no qualifications although there were several different classes to compete in, including E, D, C, B, A, AA and Master. Jordan competed in the AA class and is two wins away from becoming a master class shooter.

“I’m just excited to go down there and just see the targets. They always have really good targets down in Texas, and I like to see them,” Jordan said. “I like going out and shooting and being outside, just shooting the targets and seeing what I can do and trying to hit them all. It’s a fun sport.”

The clay targets ranged from 40 to 180 millimeters. Jordan placed 4th in the AA class.

Wilson competes in international Lineman’s Rodeo

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Chris Wilson, Westfield resident and Carmel employee, participated in the Lineman’s Rodeo with his Duke Energy team last event month.

The Lineman’s Rodeo is an event to help inform others on what exactly a lineman does with his or her job.

“As linemen, we handle everything from the substation to the house for power delivery,” Wilson said. “We are the guys that are climbing poles and rebuilding lines. Our job is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.”

One of the events the competitors do in the Lineman’s Rodeo is the hurt-man rescue.

A 185-pound dummy is placed on top of the transformer station and the lineman climbs the pole, taking rope rigs to harness around the dummy. Then, the lineman cuts the dummy free and lowers the dummy to the ground.

Other events include equipment repair and pole climbs. The linemen are judged on speed, agility, technique and safety procedures.

“It takes a lifetime to understand this craft and be safe. The rodeo helps promote our job, it gives a small snapshot of a few of the things we do to show our families,” Wilson said.

Out of 230 teams, Wilson and his group placed 38th internationally.

“In order to be a great lineman, it takes years. It’s truly a profession that’s a lifetime of learning,” Wilson said. “The amount of troubleshooting knowledge it takes to do our job is something acquired over a lifetime. The rodeo is a very good representation of a few skills of what we do on a daily basis, but it is not what it means to be a good lineman.”

Wheel Dawgz raises funds for Pets Healing Vets

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For veterans, a companion animal can serve as a friend and confidant during the difficult time of returning to the states.

Wheel Dawgz, a motorcycle charity club, aims to raise funds so veterans can receive a companion animal cover story through the charity Pets Healing Vets.

The group of 10 men – two of which are veterans themselves – either participate in or host motorcycle rides to raise the funds. They also attend other events to raise money for the cause.

The group began in 2013 with Randy’s Memorial Ride.

“Randy Boes was my uncle, and he was a Vietnam veteran,” said Justin Boes, president of Wheel Dawgz. “In June of 2012, he passed away from throat cancer, and the club is in memory of him and things he did, such as always having a dog by his side. He was the inspiration for taking animals and veterans and putting them together.”

All members share three passions: motorcycles, dogs and military vets.

“We do other things that are veteran related, but [Pets Healing Vets] has been our main focus,” said Randy Graham, a member of Wheel Dawgz. “On our last ride in July, we presented them with a check for $9,000. That’s many dogs that can be placed with veterans.”

Most of the members work at IMMI in Westfield. Wheel Dawgz, based in Tipton, has donated $16,000 to Pets Healing Vets, placing approximately 25 dogs with veterans since its creation.

All dogs that are placed with veterans come from the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

“The dogs are shelter dogs. It’s a win-win situation because the dogs are from the Humane Society for Hamilton County,” Boes said. “You have the dogs that want a home that are unwanted by some, and a lot of our vets are feeling the same way when they come home … They feel unwanted or are dealing with PTSD and other issues. So you put together a companionship between the veteran and the dog. It’s a win for the veteran and a win for the dog.”

year, he has benefited from the Pets Healing Vets program. Yet Growden isn’t the only appreciative recipient of the situation, as his dog Princess found her home with him after spending a total of six years in the HSHC. “It’s just me at the house, so she gives me a new sense of responsibility, a companion for sure,” Growden said. “She follows me around the house and loves me unconditionally.

It’s nice. She’s the first dog I’ve ever had.”

Since the pair connected, Growden has helped Wheel Dawgz with raising money for Pets Healing Vets.

“Ever since I got her, I’ve been trying to give back as much as I can,” Growden said. “It’s truly beneficial to vets, and they’re putting the dogs in a good home.”

The money donated from Wheel Dawgs to Pets Healing Vets goes toward care for the dog throughout its life so finances are not an added stress to the veteran.

At the end of last year, Wheel Dawgs was granted 501c3 nonprofit status.

From mother to martyr

FR O M T HE B A C K SH O P

Sail on, Old Salt I’ve given Brian the week off here, and instead I’m going to share some life lessons taught to me by a man who, by the time you read this, very well may be sailing on to his next adventure. My dad, Bob, is nearly 88 years old, and failing quickly. He has had a great, full life, no question. He was only too happy to share lessons with those he knew and those he loved. Here are but a few (I could fill a book) that have helped me, and I would hope they would help you, too: • “Learn as much about as many things as possible and stay intellectually alert.” – His thirst for knowledge knew no bounds.

• “Go ahead and fill your glass.” – He never saw it as half empty, always half full, and he never quit trying to make it brim.

• “Self-pity is a luxury none of us can afford.” – I try not to waste time and energy feeling sorry for myself in any situation. It seems a waste of energy.

• “Why worry about that which you cannot control?” – He lived it to the best of his ability, and I do, as well.

He has been a steadfastly loyal husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle, advisor and friend to many. That will be rewarded somewhere along the line, I have to believe. He gave me a love of sailing, music, photography, comedy and Ohio State football.

As my favorite songwriter, Jimmy Buffett, once wrote: “He’s somewhere on the ocean now/The place he ought to be/One hand on the starboard rail/And he’s waving back at me.”

I consider myself enriched. Maybe you will, too.

It’s been a lovely cruise. Sail on, Old Salt.

Percentages

Commentary by Terry Anker

Competitors in contract bridge are said to play the percentages when they evaluate between any number of reasonable actions selecting those of greatest likelihood to achieve positive result. Really most of us do it every day. We consider many variables, simple and complex, with an eye towards optimization. Perhaps we don’t think of these decisions as being framed through a lens of mathematical probability.

But be sure, we are running the numbers each time we pull into traffic, eat food we didn’t prepare, or assert a personal point of view to an important customer or to our boss. In each of these, we are assuming risk. Yet, we are also necessarily sifting through an extensive array of choices, each designed to maximize our chosen outcome.

So, it is little wonder that we modern humans employ scores of almost-clichéd expressions pointing to our fascination with the use of equations. The 80/20 rule marches out as dictum showing the dis-

tribution of the effect of a minority on the majority. And political leaders now argue about points on a poll rather than issues on a ballot.

Some years ago while confronting a significant personal challenge, a friend worked to counsel me through my grief. Making use of society’s affinity for percentages, he illustrated with this simple equation that our fear of failure as a social construct is misplaced. In my failure, 90 percent wouldn’t actually notice – there is some conceit in imagining that they would. Five percent of the remaining folks would revel in the pain they could see me experience – I shouldn’t give them the satisfaction. And 5 percent of the people loved me unconditionally, their commitment was stalwart. It turns out, he was 100 percent right.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K There’s nothing in this world that comes easy. There are a lot of people who aren’t going to bother to win.

We learn in football to get up and go once more.

– Woody Hayes

In the last couple of weeks my husband Doo has taken to calling me “martyr” instead “mother.” He’s trying to get me humor to notice how often I complain about things that I don’t really ever do. But the way I see it, a mom can’t help but sacrifice her happiness for her children. Hormones, gut instincts and workingparent guilt are nature’s way of ensuring no mother will ever experience true relaxation or finish a smut novel.

Last night was a perfect example of how easily I’m manipulated by my children. I’m sitting on the couch, exhausted, trying to enjoy a quiet moment. Doo has acquiesced to giving me a foot rub (in return for his own later) and for once the dog is not yelping at me for a ball toss. All too soon, one daughter sidles up complaining of a sore shoulder while the other plops down in a nearby chair, frustrated to tears, wanting help with math.

Doo denied both girls immediately: “I’m tired and watching ‘Family Guy’.” And though I was just as spent as Doo and definitely did not want to forfeit a semi-free rubdown, I suddenly found myself tracking down Advil while explaining how to solve a system of linear equations. Why? Because I can’t say “no” to my kids. Not when one baby is in pain and the other is close to an adolescent breakdown.

Not even on a Saturday, when I finally have a chance to sleep in, and could have shoulder-daughter set her own alarm and organize a carpool for her early morning guard competition. Nope, I’ll Joan-of-Arc it and get up at 5:30 a.m. to gently wake her, make her a delicious, nutritional breakfast and then drop her off with an “I love you. You’re beautiful. Make good choices!” farewell. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I be selfish when it comes to my kids?

Because I work full time. Because I have Mama Bear instincts. Because someone has to ensure that our offspring graduate and move out. Sorry, Doo, but by design, this mother is a martyr.

Peace out.

Residents team together to send USO packages to troops overseas

By Audrey Bailey • news@currentinwestfield.com Inside Sandy Hughey’s SUV is an interesting assortment of goodies on the back seat. A reusable grocery bag is filled with travel kits containing deodorant, toothgiving back brushes, tooth paste, lotion, nail clippers and wet wipes. Cradled next to these hygiene essentials are two large boxes of Slim Jims, a favorite snack of the troops.

These and other donated items are waiting to be packaged and shipped to one of several United Service Organizations scattered around the world. Once received, they will be distributed to any soldier in need of hygiene supplies and goods.

As a 13-year volunteer of USO of Indiana, Hughey has been providing these types of services at the Indianapolis airport center, one of four centers located in Indiana. In addition to the airport, there is a USO center at Camp Atterbury, Muscatatuk, which is an urban training center, and also at Ft. Wayne’s air

force facility.

According to Hughey, any church, organization, school, family or individual may send care packages. And these donations are welcomed throughout the entire year, not just during the holidays. Travel size hygiene products, DVDs, easily preserved food items and reading materials are a few of the items recommended individuals and organizations send. For a large size, flat rate APO/FPO box, shipping expense is $15.90 and is insured for up to $50.

In operation since 1941, USO of Indiana is a non-profit, chartered organization. It relies almost entirely on in-state funding from businesses, organizations and individuals to help provide soldiers and their families a “home away from home”.

“USO is a great, great organization,” said Charles Ridings, executive director at USO of Indiana. “And not just to donate to, but certainly to volunteer. It is a wonderful volunteer experience.”

Locals share military memories

Current asked for locals to submit photos and stories of their time in the military. Thank you veterans for your service to our country.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s hard to find a more perfect fit than David Engel to be the director and choreographer for Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “The performance Andrews Brothers.”

After all, Engel is well familiar with the musical having performed as Max Andrews in the original offBroadway production.

Engel also previously directed the show for ATI’s production in July of 2011.

Engel Engel prepared the cast for two weeks before the show opened Nov. 6, running through Nov. 22 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The performances will continue on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

“It’s very musical-number heavy, so there’s a lot to take in.

When we did it before, we had an extra week to learn it,” Engel said. “It’s the exact same cast. The guys were overwhelmed last time because I just kept throwing stuff at them every day.”

The second part of the musical is the Andrews Brothers putting on a USO show for the troops in an island in the South Pacific in 1943 during World War II. The Andrews Sisters are quarantined with chicken pox and won’t make the show, so the brothers, who are stagehands familiar with their show, dress up as sisters so the troops won’t be disappointed. Engel describes the brothers as lovable losers.

“It’s one of the most fun shows to do but one of the most exhausting,” Engel said.

Zionsville rocker hoping new music gets him some airplay

By Zach Dunkin • new@currentinwestfield.com In his new song, “Side Stage,” Zionsville singer-songwriter Brett Wiscons sings about an upstart band whose “gonna music prove you all wrong when we get a hit song” as it plays on the smaller, alternate stage at a concert venue.

With a contagious guitar riff, the ’70s-style rock tune refers to a place – career-wise and physically – where almost every music act has been, even successful bands like Hootie and the Blowfish, Wiscons’ major influence. It’s a setting where the rookie band is barely audible over the amped-up sound of the headliner on the main stage.

In his mid-30s, and with his first child on the way, the genial Wiscons has no illusion of being the next Darius Rucker. But like any creative soul, whether an artist, an author or a musician, he has his aspirations.

Wiscons said he hopes to “just get my music on the radio.”

“And I want to get my music on TV and film,” he added. “Those are my goals. I’m getting a little closer. I got my first royalty check last year, something I thought would never happen.”

If a smart radio programmer out there hears Wiscons and vocalist Anne Balbo harmonize on the poignant “Don’t Be the One,” the first single from his new EP, “The Heineken Sessions,” he’d be wise to place it in rotation.

The EP was released Nov. 6. Wiscons said the EP’s debut single was inspired by a turning point in his three-year partnership with his wife Jennifer when he needed to think about what it would be like without her.

“It was just a little argument like married couples sometimes have; it wasn’t to the point that it was completely bleak, but I didn’t want it to get there,” he said. “As a songwriter, I just decided to go to the extreme and visualize what it would have been like if it had gotten there … what it would have been like to lose her.”

A solo version of the song by Wiscons and

the single version with Balbo, vocalist for Indy band Zanna-Doo, are included on the EP. Recorded at Stone Point Studios near Charleston, S.C., the EP was produced and co-written

by Mark Bryan, the two-time Grammy-winning producer and founding member of Hootie & the Blowfish. Money raised from Kickstarter, a funding platform in which people can make donations to an artistic project, and Wiscon’s sponsor, Heinekin, financed the EP’s recording and marketing.

The most heartfelt cut on the EP is “Until

I Think About You,” a song inspired by the unexpected passing of Wiscon’s father, who died of a heart attack at age 64. In the song, Wiscons fondly reminisces about playing baseball, taking late-night drives and watching TV shows with his dad while growing up in Plymouth, Ind. As difficult as it might be, he performs the song in his shows.

“It’s a hard song to sing,” he said. “It can be very emotional.”

Returning to the topic “Side Stage,” Wiscons

said the song was easy to write “because I’ve done that.”

“There was a time recently when I thought, ‘I’ve been doing this for 15 years and nothing is really happening.’ Then I started working with Mark, and I write these good songs, and I get that royalty check, and it gave me a little more hope that something good can happen.”

Speaking of chicken noodle, here is a gourmet soup recipe for your cold-weather tailgate party that can fit in a simple thermos bottle.

Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients: 8 cups chicken stock, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 4 skinless chicken thighs w/ bones in, 2 cups sliced carrots, 2 cups sliced celery, 1 cup chopped onion, 8 oz. uncooked egg noodles, 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, 1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper Preparation: Combine the chicken, wine and stock in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer the ingredients for 20 minutes.

Remove the chicken from pan and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove chicken from bones and then cut into bite-sized pieces. Discard bones. Add the carrots, celery and onions to the pan. Cover the mixture (w/o chicken) and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Add noodles/ pasta, and let it simmer for 6 minutes. Add chicken, salt, and black pepper; cook for 2 minutes or until noodles are done.

“Well, we really overdid it this time!” How many times have you said that to yourself?

Remembering times when we overdid it, it would be wise to look at some history so we don’t repeat our mistakes.

One of the joys/curses of a modern smart phone is that little weather icon. It seems we start to click it 10 days ahead of our next tailgate party. Then as we get a few days away from the game we click it and look at the hourly temperatures and rain possibilities. If you count the times you check the weather it can be into the dozens. Ah, technology!

We once experienced tailgate preparations where the weather forecast worsened all week. Early on, as we planned our menu, we thought that our chicken noodle soup would be a warm treat for our guests. Later, we had to decide on how we were going to get our soup to the game and have it be piping hot.

When we finally made our trek to the game, our car was packed with every imaginable item to keep soup hot. We had heated coolers, grills, crockpots and a bunch of other stuff like chairs and tables. We really had to juggle all these gadgets just to fit them into our car and later to fit them into a setting so we could serve our guests and keep them dry.

Our website, tailgatershandbook.com, has a 1950s photo of a tailgate picnic at Colgate University. The folks in that picture had only a picnic basket and a thermos bottle. They had no need for a crock pot or thermoelectric cooler/heater even if these were invented back then. Maybe we would have been better served, considering the weather, if we had prepared like those folks did more than 60

Spicy crispy Brussels sprouts Commentary by Ceci Martinez

This Thanksgiving, be a little bit daring with your menu and surprise your family and guests with this easy, healthy, yet delicious vegan side dish – spicy crispy Brussels sprouts. Yes I know, a lot of people will freak out just at the mention of this vegetable, but this recipe will totally change your mind about Brussels sprouts! If you are still hesitant about trying it out let me add one more thing; Brussels sprouts, like other cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage), are potent defenders against cancer. These vegetables contain phytonutrients that help cleanse the body of cancer-causing substances. It is low in cholesterol, rich in vitamins and high in fiber.

Note: You can make this dish the day before your dinner. It will taste even better!

Serves: 4 Ingredients: • 4 cups Brussels sprouts, stems trimmed, halved, leaves separated • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil • Coarse sea salt • 1/2 lemon • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce • 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce

Spicy crispy Brussels sprouts add to Thanksgiving. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

On a rimmed baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts leaves with oil and season with salt. Give them a good shake so they are all evenly coated. Roast until leaves are crisp and browned around edges, nearly charred, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove sprouts to a bowl, squeeze lemon juice over them and drizzle with Sriracha and fish sauce. Toss to combine.

Hair salon launches in Westfield

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield has seen lots of new development in the past couple months, and Penny Foster brings another business new biz to Westfield’s streets.

Grand Style Station, 203 Jersey St., opened its doors for the first time last month. It’s Foster’s first salon, although she worked at Big League Barbers for nine years previous to opening Grand Style Station and has 25 years of experience.

“I was going to go through nursing school, but some classes led me into cosmetology, and I fell in love with the clients,” Foster said.

Foster has cut and styled hair in Hamilton County for her entire career and began looking for a place to start her business around Memorial Day. So far, Foster said business has been great, and many clients have followed her.

“I think the Grand Junction renovations will bring more clients, but also a lot of my clients that I have did not even know there was a Greek’s Pizzeria or the Rail Epicurean here in Westfield,” Foster said. “I want to help promote other local businesses.”

Grand Junction also played a part in her naming of the salon.

“The first thought was the Monon (railroad) and the trail, so implementing something there made me think of a train … and the grand came from Grand Park and Grand Junction, so then it got to be Grand Style Station,” Foster said.

Foster does primarily haircuts and styles

Cyberbullying and kids Commentary by Jessica Saberman, MD We hear a lot about “cyberbullying” and the impact it can have on young people today. A recent family medicine study published in “American Family Physician” reveals that between 10 and 35 percent of adolescents say they have been cyberbullied. With the average teenager on screens for about 10 hours a day, there is a growing arena in which this type of bullying can occur.

Cyberbullying is the intentional use of media (texting, email, social media, online gaming, instant messaging, etc.) to convey false, embarrassing or hostile information about someone else. Similar to off-line bullying, victims of cyberbullying can experience a variety of harmful symptoms, including depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, declining school performance, and physical symptoms, such as difficulty sleeping, headaches and stomachaches. Today we know that bullying can have lasting impact even into adulthood.

Many of the ways parents can protect children from cyberbullying are also helpful

strategies for general online oversight. Given the amount of time young people spend in front of screens, developing a proactive plan for supervising online activity is important.

• Monitor social media activity. While the level and type of monitoring depend on the child’s age and unique circumstances, parents should know how their children spend time online, including the social media sites they use.

• Limit screen time. Again, depending on your child’s age, set limits on daily screen time and establish rules to help kids “unplug” – such as putting phones and devices away during dinner and before bedtime.

• Watch for signs. If you see behavior changes or your child exhibits uncharacteristic symptoms, tell him or her you’ve noticed and talk about the situation.

Blueprint for Improvement: Cosmetic kitchen remodel on a budget Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a warm and traditional design that would last through time.

1. The existing kitchen desk was removed to allow for more functional cabinet storage and a new “nook” for everyday household items.

2. A new sink and faucet, backsplash tile and hardware made a big impact in the overall design.

3. Functional pull-out accessories were added to some of the cabinets.

4. The space feels brighter with painted cabinets, recessed can lights, pendants and undercabinet lighting.

5. The design color palette stemmed from the new, unique slate gray appliances the family purchased.

6. Freshly painted walls in the kitchen and adjacent rooms finished off the new look.

Before

Background Info: This home is located in the Woodgate Subdivision in Carmel. The homeowners have lived in the house for 15 years and felt it was time to remodel the kitchen on a budget.

Before problems: An update to the existing oak veneer cabinets was definitely needed. It was time to replace the flooring, appliances and brass fixtures as well. With only two small lights in the kitchen and a large pantry closet, the space was feeling dark and underutilized.

One of those days?

St. Thomas and the Kapaleshvara Temple Commentary by Don Knebel

Teacher of the Month!

CONGRATS!

The winner for this month's Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Market District, are: student Elise Cramer and teacher Ann Joseph of Westfield.

The winning students will get to have a lunchtime party and the teachers will receive gift certificates to Market District. The next deadline to submit an essay is Nov. 15. To submit your 100-word essay about your favorite teacher, email it to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.

The Kapaleshvara Temple is the largest of many colorful Hindu temples in Chennai, a city in southern India previously travel known as Madras. The temple’s history is entwined with a dubious claim about a disciple of Jesus.

In the seventh century, devotees of Shiva, an important Hindu deity, erected a temple along the coast of Mylapore, now a district of Chennai. Called “Kapaleshvara” after an alias of Shiva, the temple remembered an ancient story about Shiva and the peacocks for which Mylapore is named. In the sixteenth century, Portuguese missionaries promoted a story that Thomas, the disciple known for doubting Jesus’ resurrection, had sailed to India in 52 A.D. and was speared to death in Mylapore. Proponents of this historically unsupportable tale claimed to have located the tomb of Thomas under the Kapaleshvara Temple, providing an excuse for demolishing the temple, which honored beliefs they found offensive, and erecting a church on the site. Today, the stately gothic-style Basilica of St. Thomas, built by the British in 1898 on the original temple/church site, claims to house Thomas’ tomb and the spear that killed him.

Shiva worshippers eventually erected a re-

placement Kapaleshvara Temple a few blocks inland from its original location. Built in the Dravidian style common in southern India, the imposing temple features a 120-foot-tall gopuram, an entrance pyramid covered with hundreds of colorful effigies of Hindu deities and characters from Hindu stories. Inside the temple, barechested priests perform six rituals each day worshiping Shiva, represented symbolically as the lingam, a phallic shape going back to the beginnings of Indian civilization.

Visitors to Chennai’s Kapaleshvara Temple

and nearby Basilica of St. Thomas can experience two dramatically different ways of acknowledging the divine. They can also learn how religious intolerants have too often destroyed the worship places of others in plugging their competing beliefs.
