Council hears Tamarack proposal

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

At the Nov. 9 Westfield City Council meeting, the council heard a proposal for Tamarack, a Planned Unit Development District Ordinance on the northeast corner development of 161st Street and Oak Road.

Jeffrey Lauer of the city’s Economic and Community Development Dept., and Jon Dobosiewicz, representing M/I Homes, presented the PUD – on 35 acres with 53 single family lots – to the council.

However, it was not the first time the PUD came into question before the council. A portion of the same property was presented May 1, then a month later was forwarded back to the council by the Advisory Plan Commission with an unfavorable recommendation. The previous petitioner then withdrew the proposal.

The new proposal includes additional real estate closer to the corner of 161st Street and Oak Road.

“The council heard an item in May for the Tamarack PUD, but it was withdrawn from consideration by the applicant. The current proposal represents a new concept plan,” Dobosiewicz said. “On the south side of the project with Oak

Road to the west, there are four parcels at the corner, three of which are not included in the proposal. The parcel that is included was not included in the proposal in May.” Dobosiewicz also said in addition to the added parcel, M/I Homes will be contributing additional right-of-way and funding additional road improvements for the corner in question.

The home prices will range from $325,000 to $375,000 if approved.

Some council members disapproved, including

Cindy Spoljaric.

“It still looks like the same plan, so I still have the same feelings,” she said. “Not enough has changed for me to alter my opinion.”

Councilor Rob Stokes also voiced concern.

“It’s the same thing plus more, so I don’t see how or why this would be any more palatable to the plan commission … than it was the first time around,” Stokes said. “I would suggest we don’t send it on to plan commission and work with it as it was originally. It just seems like we are sending the same thing back, and its more of what they didn’t care for in the first place.”

However, the rest of the council members deemed the project worthy of reevaluation.

“I think one of the concerns that the city had with the previous project was not including the parcels to complete that corner,” Councilor Steve Hoover said. “To me the project is different than what it was because the parcel is added, and we are looking at some funding to help acquire that property on the corner in the future because we all know that some improvements will be required at the intersection so I think its worthy of the reevaluation.”

The proposal was forwarded on to the APC meeting that will take place at 7 p.m. Dec. 7 at City Hall, 130 Penn St.

In a field originally planned for a basketball court, Maple Glen Elementary School is asking for a change in the development plan to allow for the construction of an outschools door classroom and greenhouse.

The current standards of the zoning do not allow for building construction.

The proposal was introduced at the Westfield City Council’s Nov. 9 meeting and was forwarded on to the Advisory Plan Commission meeting for 7 p.m. Dec. 7 at City Hall, 130 Penn St. The field is on the northeast corner of Ditch Road and 171st Street.

How to Find the Right Family Law Attorney for You You have decided it is time to talk to a family law attorney. Sometimes that is the toughest decision to make. But now that you know you need or want legal advice, who do you hire?

It is common to feel desperate to find an attorney immediately after coming to the conclusion that you need or want a lawyer, but do not make the mistake that so many others have made in hiring your attorney based solely on timing and convenience. Frustration of hiring the wrong attorney can be avoided by finding the right family law attorney to assist you from the beginning. The following are things to keep in mind (and some good questions to ask) when you are selecting a family law attorney: 1. It is personal: The attorney-client relationship is a personal relationship---maybe more so in family law than in any other area of the law. Family law cases involve life’s most sensitive and delicate issues. The issues you will be discussing with your attorney are probably the most personal and sensitive you will ever experience. If you do not feel comfortable talking with the attorney, keep looking! Be selective. Your attorney should listen to you and to your needs. Your attorney needs to listen and make you feel confident that he/she is competent and capable or representing you; reassured that your questions and concerns have been addressed; and secure in your “game plan” as to how and when (and even if) the case is going to be handled from the time of initiation until the final resolution.

2. Concentration on Family Law: If you needed a heart transplant, you would not go to an optometrist…and you wouldn’t go to a general practitioner or “family doctor,” either.

You would go to a specialist---a cardiologist. The same is true with lawyers. Any attorney can claim to be competent to handle your divorce or help you with a custody case, etc., but you need someone whose practice is concentrated in family law. Find out the attorney’s level of concentration on family law by asking the following questions: • What percentage of your practice is dedicated to family law?

• How many cases have you had like mine? With my specific issues?

• Are you a member of the local (city or state) family law section of the bar association?

• Have you practiced in this particular county/court in the past?

3. Does your attorney have time for you? In your first meeting, if the attorney seems “too busy” to give you 100% of his/her attention, does not take time to answer all of your questions, or just does not seem to be listening to you--- keep looking! If you are still unsure of what the attorney’s commitment to your case will be at the end of your initial consultation, ask the following questions: • How many cases are you actively working right now?

• How many cases would you take at any given time? How many cases would you consider to be a “full workload?”

• Do you have a policy on returning phone calls/emails?

• How often will you communicate with me?

• Is it your policy to send me copies of all correspondence and/or documents you receive from the opposing counsel and/or the court?

4. Piranha or Peacemaker? Ok, so piranha is a bit extreme…but the idea is very important. Many clients are very angry when they first meet with family law attorneys, and they might believe that they “need a real fighter” on their side who will promise to legally “punish” the opposing party. If that is what you believe you need or want, you can certainly find a “piranha-type attorney” who will infuse more conflict into your case and will refuse to resolve even the simplest of issues without a battle. If you think that is the type of attorney you want to represent you, consider the following: • The only people who win in high-conflict cases are the attorneys…the more you fight with your spouse, the more money the attorneys make.

• Even though you might have to compromise to reach an agreement, you are in control of your future. You can determine what circumstances you can “live with.” Do you really want your future (and the future of your family and your children) to be determined by a judge who only has a few minutes to hear your life story before making a ruling?

• The negativity that is created during family law cases will make it extremely difficult to have any future dealings and involvement with the other party after the case is over. Civility cannot be underrated.

• If you have children, you have no excuse! Minimize the conflict in all ways possible for their benefit.

5. Let’s talk fees: Even though it might be an uncomfortable topic, it is absolutely necessary that you talk to the attorney about fees. You should have a fee agreement in writing from your attorney explaining in detail how the representation is going to work, how you will be billed, etc. If you do not understand something about the fee agreement, ask! You have every right to understand completely how you are agreeing to spend it! If you have concerns about the written fee agreement or find that it is not specific or clear, be sure to ask the following questions, at a minimum: • What is your hourly rate?

• What is the minimum time increment for recording your time?

• Will there be any other people in the firm that will be billing time on my case?

• What are the billable rates of any others that could potentially be working on my case?

• How often will I receive an invoice?

• If I have a question about an invoice, to whom should I direct my question?

• What methods of payment do you accept (i.e., credit cards, etc.)?

• What can I do to help keep my fees to a minimum?

• How much is my retainer? And, when my retainer is gone, what is your policy for additional payments after the retainer is gone?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Retiring minds

Commentary by Terry Anker

Even as we Americans are living longer, healthier lives well into our advanced years, the notion of retirement eludes definition more now than ever. The United Nations claims that those of us lucky enough to reside in the “more developed” world can expect lifespans well into our 80s. Under present expectations of traditional retirement from ages 62 to 65 years-old, we are on notice that our leisure could extend for 20 full years or more. Millions internationally retire even earlier.

So if we can look forward to having loads of high-quality, unencumbered time on our hands, retiring minds want to know – what will we do? Certainly, we collectively imagine a time when the routine troubles of the day are replaced with a greater focus on those things which we chose to undertake. But, is it possible to eliminate the mundane? Or, would we even want to if we could? It seems that I enjoy the routine of a morning coffee at home more now

than the diversity (and inconsistency) of a different ritual every day.

Is retirement the absence of work? Can we commit to the action of no action? Experts on such matters argue that those happiest post-formal-career are those among us who immediately turn their attentions to other projects. Meaning, one can surmise, that something is life and nothing is death.

Maybe imagined another way, we should march forward with a plan for the time after retirement that is as intentional as the time we spent in the work-a-day world. Golf, parttime work and volunteerism can serve to fill time. But satisfaction in these activities seems to come more from our objective in doing them than in the amount of time we spend pursuing. Can it be enough to pick a date without making a plan?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K As you grow older, you will discover you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

– Audrey Hepburn

Prepare to be amazed, people, for I have figured out the secret to life! Or at least, the secret to predetermining the humor amount of time and money you’ll be investing when you child comes home and announces she wants to join the team.

I’ve had a great deal of time to think about this, and unfortunately, wasted too many hours wallowing in disappointment and bitterness. But my losses will be your gain so that you will never again wander blindly into an online sign-up without fully understanding to what hell you are committing.

See, the problem lies in the type of activity about which your precious little angel dreams. If he decides on soccer, basketball or football, you’re golden. These sports have seasons – easy to plan for and easy to get out of. Even when you land in the crazy world of club travel, at least you’ll know ahead of time that a game lasts two hours and that the side with the most points wins.

They key word here folks is game. A volleyball game, a lacrosse game. Games are good.

Games mean scores and time limits and referees. We like games. But have your ever heard of a dance game? Or a marching band game? No. And therein lies the key to eternal maternal happiness.

Because when you find yourself saying things like “Maddie has a dance competition this weekend” or “Andrew is going to a Tai Kwon Do tournament,” all bets are off. You’ll never understand why a stupid judge picked the barely-clothed tapper over your daughter after having spent 48 hours in the bowels of a local high school for seven total minutes of your child on stage. Or why Johnny won the sparring event even though your son clearly went Korean-medieval on the kid.

If you can’t insert the word game behind the competitive portion of your offspring’s activity, you’re doomed. Prepare to show them the money, leave most events feeling confused and frustrated, and waste whole weekends doing show hair or playing Angry Birds. Remember, “game” is good.

And, you’re welcome. Peace out.

“The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart” was a comedy recording released on vinyl back in 1960. Newhart’s humor shtick was to enact one side of a conversation (often on the phone) in such a way that you could imagine what the other person might be saying on the other end. So why is this iconic comedian (who is still performing at age 86) in my thoughts this week? All because of a passing remark by presidential candidate Jeb Bush, frustrated by conflicting advice he is getting from his consultants and advisors. “If Lincoln were running today,” jabbed Jeb, “someone would be telling him to shave off the beard.”

Sorry, Jeb, but Bob Newhart was way ahead of you on this – precisely 55 years before you.

“I was thinking,” said Newhart as he begins his brilliant monologue, “what if there was no Lincoln back during the Civil War, and the advertising executives had to create one?”

Then, Newhart, playing a “Mad Men” ad executive, chides Abe for thinking about changing his appearance: “The beard, shawl, stovepipe hat, and string tie are all part of the image,

Abe.” He asks Lincoln not to type his speeches but to write them on the backs of envelopes.

“We want it to look like you wrote it while on the train.”

Then he discovers that Lincoln has been busy editing his upcoming address at Gettysburg: “You made a few changes?” questions an exasperated Newhart (long pause while he listens to Lincoln’s response). “You say you changed four score and seven to 70? That would be like Marc Antony saying, ‘Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I’ve got something I want to tell you.’” Then Newhart says to Lincoln, “Please leave it the way Charlie wrote it.”

Listening to this classic sketch on YouTube doesn’t have quite the same charm it did when I first heard it on my Victrola. But I have no way of truly comparing those two experiences, since I no longer have a record of it. ( The full version of this column is available at www.currentinwestfield.com)

Santa, singing and more at ISO’s Yuletide Celebration

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentinwestfield.com

There’s a long Santa’s list of things to like about the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s annual IPL Yuletide Celebration.

But what dancer/singer/ family fun choreographer Anne Beck cherishes the most is the reaction she sees from the children in the audience “I can see the joy in their eyes,” said the Fishers performer, who will be making her ninth consecutive appearance in the proBeck gram. “To be an elf onstage and see them giggle … to be in a gown and see that look that kids get in their eye like when they see a Disney princess for the first time … to see and hear their giddiness when the Tap Dancing Santa’s enter the stage … that’s magic.

“To do this show for kids and their families and to see their joy is so very rewarding.”

Opening Dec. 4 and continuing through Dec. 23, “IPL Yuletide Celebration” returns to Hilbert Circle Theatre for the 30th time.

Vocalist Sandi Patty is back as host and Pops Conductor Jack Everly leads the ISO. A huge cast of singers and dancers present a program that includes last year’s Disney’s “Frozen” segment, including “Let it Go,” and Yuletide Jukebox, featuring a medley of pop holiday tunes such Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Two longtime favorites, the reading of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” and the popular Tap Dancing Santa’s also return.

Despite the repetition of guaranteed favorites in the program, Beck says the show never gets old.

“While certain elements are repeated, the entire show, on the whole, changes so it is easy to keep things fresh,” said Beck, a fulltime professor and instructor at Ball State’s acclaimed theater and dance department. “Being on Broadway and on national tours and doing the same show for years at a time, you learn how to keep things new fresh every night that curtain goes up.

“Then, there are always new cast members each year who

help bring the show new excitement.”

In addition to dancing in the show, Beck is co-choreographer, assisting choreographer Jen Ladner with creating the movement. Once the steps are taught, she works with the cast to clean up, tighten, clarify, polish and help make the songs and dances come to life.

Beck is no stranger to the ISO, having been involved with or performed in several Pops concerts. She also has performed in several of its musicals, including “Guys and Dolls” with Hal Linden, “Hello Dolly” with Gary Beach and Sandi Patty and “Hairspray” with John Waters and Micky Dolenz.

While spending 14 years in New York City, she performed on Broadway, with national Broadway tours and in regional theaters across the country.

Now living in Indiana, she has appeared on the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre stage as Mimi in “Rent” and Cassie in “A Chorus Line,” has choreographed several shows for Civic and directed the Carmel theater’s “Cat in the Hat.” She currently is choreographing Civic’s “Mary Poppins” and, as the resident choreographer for the Indianapolis Men’s Choir, working on its

holiday show, as well.

Her proudest “production” however, is her daughter, Nya, a first grader at Lantern Road Elementary. Nya joins mom in “Yuletide Celebration,” repeating last year’s role as one of the children in the “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” scene. She takes dance at the Academy of Dance Arts in Fishers and junior Civic performing arts classes at the Civic Theatre.

“I’m not sure if she will continue in my footsteps, but she definitely loves being in the show with me,” Beck said. “She blows my mind daily on her enthusiasm for life, and I thank her for being my inspiration in everything I do.”

In the words of the late and great Yogi Berra, reading this column you may think “it’s déjà vu all over again.” And since every year we seem to have pro, college and some high school games on Thanksgiving week, you may recognize we write a column about this particular week every year.

This year will be no exception. This season we have a new recipe for turkey soup.

TURKEY SOUP Ingredients: Turkey meat, carcass, drippings, skin and non-liver giblets, seasonings for stock: one yellow onion, chopped carrots, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, celery, pepper corns, salt and pepper, 8 medium carrots with tops, onions, 6 celery stalks with tops. Seasonings for the finished soup are poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouillon cube., 2 garlic cloves.

Making Stock: Remove all the usable turkey meat (dark is more flavorful) from the turkey carcass to save it for adding to the soup.

Break up the larger leftover bones of the carcass enough so they don’t take up as much room in the pot. Put the leftover bones and skin into a large stockpot and cover with cold water by an inch. Add drippings that weren’t used to make gravy and giblets that haven’t been used. Add a yellow onion that has been quartered, 3 medium chopped carrots with tops, parsley, thyme, a bay leaf, 1 celery stalk chopped and the tops of all the celery stalks, and some peppercorns.

Bring this stock to a boil and immediately reduce heat so liquid barely simmers. Skim off any floaties as they rise to the surface of the stock. Add about 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, depending on how big your turkey is.

Cook for at least 4 hours, uncovered or partially uncovered, so as the stock reduces, occasionally skim-off any foam from the surface.

Remove the bones and veggies and strain the stock through a mesh strainer.

Making the turkey soup: With stock already made, add chopped carrots, onions, and celery in equal parts. Add some parsley and a couple cloves of garlic. Add seasoning – poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouillon cube. Cook at a bare simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. Take plenty of the remaining turkey meat you reserved earlier, cube it into bite sized pieces and add to the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cool this soup overnight in the fridge.

Game Day: The morning of the game, you should spoon off any fat from the top of the soup pot before heating. Now heat the soup to a simmer. Cook a large bag of soup egg noodles and add to the soup. Serve in mugs with chunks from a long baguette for dipping.

Kale salad

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

I love kale because it is a powerhouse! But, for a long time I struggled with recipes that my kids would not run away from! Kale sautéed with salt/pepper, garlic and lemon has become a household favorite. Recently I was trying to graduate my boys from the sautéed kale and move them forward to the next level: kale salads! I was so thrilled when I found this delicious, colorful and tasty salad recipe that is going to make you want to go for seconds!

This Thanksgiving you will be surprised to have many kale converts at your dinner table with this hearty salad. Great side for turkey.

Note: Kale is a powerful superfood! It is loaded with high amount of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and is anti-carcinogenic.

Serves: 5 Ingredients: 2 cups peeled, cubed butternut or other winter squash (you can find it at Trader’s Joe), extra-virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 bag (10 oz.) kale, stem removed and leaves finely sliced, 1/4 cup almonds or hazelnuts, cut roughly in half, 1/4 cup crumbled or finely chopped Collier’s Welsh Cheddar (Trader’s Joe) or parmesan, fresh lemon Directions: Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss squash cubes in just enough oil to coat and

Urban Farmer opens new location

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After renting a variety of different buildings for its location for more than three years, Urban Farmer has finally settled holidays down.

Noah Herron, owner, recently purchased three acres of land with 3,000 square feet of office space and 2,000 square feet of retail.

“The land is another real benefit for the company, because we are going to start growing our own vegetables and selling those, mainly tomatoes and peppers but others as well,” Herron, 32, said.

Urban Farmer has the largest vegetable seed collection in Indiana, with more than 700 varieties of vegetable seeds including more than 125 varieties of tomatoes along with different vegetable seeds, herbs, flowers, vegetable seedlings and fertilizers.

On Nov. 27, Urban Farmer will hold a grand opening at its new location, 120 E. 161st St., which will include a retail store with garden

supplies, beer brewing supplies, beekeeping supplies, canning items and more.

Just in time for the holidays, Urban Farmer will also have Christmas tree sales through December.

“We’ve been open to the public before, but haven’t had enough room to show all of our products,” Herron said.

Herron said in the spring he is also planning on offering garden classes.

“Another cool thing we are doing with our Christmas trees is for every one we sell, we are donating $5 to the Riley Children’s Hospital,” he said. “We will also have hot cider, holiday music and outdoor fires.”

The trees are all real and range from 5 to 10 feet. They cost anywhere between $35 and $100 and are delivered to Urban Farmer already cut.

Urban Farmer will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. During the holiday season, Urban Farmer will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

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

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a bright and airy bathroom with a spa-like feel.

1. A large custom shower with a glass enclosure allowed the room to remain bright and spacious.

2. The separate toilet room was eliminated making the room feel significantly larger.

3. The tub deck and countertops were replaced with durable and low maintenance quartz.

4. White cabinetry with chrome fixtures helped contribute to the spa feel desired by the homeowners.

5. Stacked cabinetry and a drawer stack provided additional storage at the vanities.

6. Bright paint and new custom lighting contributed to the transitional style and overall feel of the space.

Before

Background Info: This home is located on the north side of Zionsville. Built 23 years ago, the master bathroom needed a fresh new custom update.

Before problems: The outdated bathroom was dark and overall very cramped for space. The oversized green cultured marble soaking tub was too large for the space and made the small room feel even smaller. The faucet leaked and did not function properly. The large window was underutilized because of its inconvenient bolt_half_page_ad_Layout 1 11/17/15 8:20 AM Page 1 location.

The picturesque towns of Bodega and Bodega Bay, along the Pacific Coast Highway about 70 miles north of San Frantravel cisco, are famous as the location of “The Birds,” Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror movie. Visitors coming to photograph the movie’s featured Potter School often overlook a nearby expression of gratitude following a different kind of horror.

In 1994, the Green family from Bodega Bay was vacationing in southern Italy. Two armed robbers attacked the family car, shooting 7-year-old Nicholas in the head. When Nicholas died two days later, his parents donated his heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas and cornea, benefiting seven Italians. Because Italians at the time were not organ donors, this act of generosity caught the attention of the Italian press and soon led to a dramatic increase in organ donations in Italy, a result attributed to the “Nicholas effect.”

The Italian public was so touched by the Greens’ act of kindness in the face of griev-

ous loss that families, individuals, schools and churches began sending bells to the family as expressions of gratitude. A large bell was sent by the Marinelli Foundry in Agnone, Italy, which has been making bells for the Pope for more than 1,000 years and is one of the three oldest family businesses in the world. The bell, blessed by Pope John Paul II, includes the names of the recipients of Nicholas’ organs.

San Francisco sculpture Bruce Hasson assembled the 140 bells onto a wooden frame along Highway 1 just north of Bodega Bay. Called “The Children’s Bell Tower,” the memorial honors Nicholas Green and all the children of the world whose lives have been cut short by violence. It also gives thanks to the generosity of the Green family, who recognized that the tragic death of their son could give others a chance for a better life.
