Legacy Fund president to step down By Sierra Solis • news@currentinwestfield.com After serving five years as president of Legacy Fund of Hamilton County, Terry Anker has announced he will step down at the end of March. “I feel incredibly blessed to have had the opportuniphilanthropy ty to be here during this period,” Anker said. “Now, it’s going to be my honor to hand the baton to the next person who will be able to go from a much taller platform than even I came on and build the organization further.” A search committee headed by Ann M. O’Hara, incoming board chair for Legacy Fund, will work shortly to find a replacement before Anker steps down. Legacy Fund has been assisting donors in finding their “philanthropic mission” and helping organizations advance Anker their causes in the community for 25 years. Since Anker began his term as president, the organization has collected more than $28 million and awarded 2,714 grants. During Anker’s tenure, Legacy Fund began working alongside the Youth Assistance Program, which works to create a better community by providing aid to families in need, such as tutoring, parenting classes and more. Anker helped take it from a “pilot program” in Westfield to an active organization in every school corporation throughout Hamilton County. Anker also invested his personal time in raising awareness. Prior to Legacy Fund’s involvement with the Youth Assistance Program, the rate of juvenile incarcerations in Hamilton County was on an upward trend. Since Legacy Fund stepped in, a significant drop has occurred, with the juvenile center only at 10 to 15 percent of capacity. “I’ve really been able to accomplish most of the objectives that I hoped to do: elevating the profile, increasing the endowment, helping the organization realize its goals and missions and serving the community,” Anker said. “I’ve managed to do those things, so it’s time for me to go back to the private sector.” After leaving Legacy Fund, Anker plans to continue with The Anker Consulting Group.

Grand Junction Plaza construction for 2017 will include the riparian corridor. (Submitted rendering by LAND COLLECTIVE)

Work to start on waterway corridor, 2017 will see first full year of events center activity By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Westfield saw the completion of the Grand Park Events Center in 2016 and the start of construction at the Grand Junction Plaza in the city’s downtown. The new year will see cover story the construction of the riparian – or waterway – corridor, the next step in the plaza’s completion, and a full year of economic impact numbers for the events center. The search for a part-time youth assistance program early intervention advocate also continues.

grand park

RIPARIAN CORRIDOR at grand junction plaze Construction just finished for the Mill Street extension, which connects Union Street to Park Street and loops north to Ind. 32. In the spring, Mill Street’s landscaping will be complete and the construction of the riparian corridor – the waterway in the plaza’s design – will begin in July. “That will take us all of the next construction season at the park,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “This is all the aesthetics of the waterway through the park, that’s (2017’s) project. In 2018 and 2019, based on financing, would be the years of construction of the balance of the park – the greenways, the gathering center, the amphitheater, the buildings, the ice rink. Measur-

ing the effects of the plaza will be a little more different than measuring the return of investment of Grand Park.” The Grand Junction Plaza design plan was completed in early 2016. Contingent on council approval, the Grand Millennium Center may be an addition to the west of Grand Junction Plaza. The $200 million development, proposed by EdgeRock Development, would include a convention center, corporate headquarters, YMCA and more. If approved by council, the corporate headquarters will break ground next year and be followed by a two-year build out.

Cook measured Grand Park’s investment returns by naming various businesses that found their way to the city this past year, such as Bub’s, Culver’s, the Monon Marketplace, which includes The Stacked Pickle, Titus Bakery, Spa 32 and more. “The new thing at Grand Park will be the events center. It hasn’t had much of an impact this year,” Cook said. “We’re adding some amenities to the building that will allow nonsporting events to take place, such as flooring downstairs.” Hard sections of flooring will be placed to cover one soccer field to allow for trade and RV shows, consignment shopping and more. The floors allow for vehicles to be driven across the field. Extra electrical power also will be added to the building to provide for the shows. “Really next year, that will be the major impact,” Cook said. “The purpose of Grand Park was to create a tax base and to measure how we are doing there, I think (that) is the return on the investment. The big story about Grand Park will be the continued and really accelerated building of the hospitality industry.” Three hotels have been approved, with Cambria Suites breaking ground across from Grand Park in November and Hampton Inn currently under construction on Ind. 32. The Grand Park Hotel hasn’t broken ground. Cook said two Marriott-chain hotels soon will be proposed near 191st Street and U.S. 31.

The proposed Grand Millennium Center will include a convention center. (Submitted rendering by Cooler Designs and Beyond Architect)

YOUTH ASSISTANCE PROGRAM The Westfield Youth Assistance Program was established in 2009 and has spread across the county and the state. Cook said the caseload of children in need of a mentor has extended past the one, full-time early intervention advocate, so the city is looking to hire a part-time early intervention advocate, too. The new position is funded through the WYAP board through funds raised. The new advocate has not yet been named.

“I would like to see a sustainable financial plan in which to pay our professional,” Cook said about the program. “It’s still important we raise money locally through events for our expenses, but not only here in Westfield, but through the county and now throughout state. We have the challenge of providing a sustainable financial income to hire and pay the professionals.”

Playing against type Commentary by Terry Anker Actors, some say, have a type. The way they look, the way they speak and the way they take the stage all contribute to fashioning a shorthand for the audience – the birthing of a persona. We audiences seem to prefer that these characters align very tightly within our expectations. In sitcoms, we look for the whacky neighbor, like Ethel Mertz in “I Love Lucy.” In drama, we expect to find the wealthy inheritor, too eager to await dad’s death by natural causes. And in professional wrestling, we seek the loathsome cheater – always ready to take advantage of our goodguy hero who is playing yet another role. If we’re completely honest, don’t we look for types in most situations? There is the woman at the office always planning for the staff parties. And there is the Alpha-male new-hire who is keen to make a name for himself as a hard case. So, are these folks actually one-dimensional, or are we overly willing to assume them to be?

To become a long-playing and working actor, identify a comfortable persona and fill it for a lifetime. In essence, one embraces the role of central-casting player for this “type” of character. Yet, rarely is the move made from supporting performer to a top-billed star. Usually, it is not for lack of trying. Actors often accept roles intentionally to perform against their own type. But the audience, loving of the compliant actor, lash out at those who wish to expand the kinds of roles they might pursue. Are they alone? Don’t we find ourselves trapped in our own carefully curated personas, often hoping to be considered different by our peers, more by our employers, and better by our families? Yet, the more we struggle to be seen differently, the more that others resist our desire to self-redefine. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

– Edmund Burke

For the fourth New Year in a row, I’m vowing to curtail my cussing. Not go cold turkey or anything, just ease humor off on the R-rated material. I’m already anticipating problems, though. One, because I actually like swearing. And two, occasionally I just need the release that only a perfectly lobbed f-bomb can bring. Let’s be honest. Being a parent requires you to constantly censor yourself. Children are impressionable tattletales who will gleefully rat you out to any neighbor, teacher or priest. Not my kids, mind you. My darling angels think it’s hilarious when I call someone an a-hole. It’s other peoples’ kids you have to beware. For example, you slam your hand in the minivan door while carpooling to dance. Even though Myth Busters proved that cursing increases pain tolerance, you can’t yell “c%#*s@!*&er,” because Suzie will tell her straight-laced mommy that you have a potty mouth. And then you’re back to driving both ways, all five days. He*& no! But my youngest is only 12, which means I still have a few more years before I can conceivably speak an unforgivable in front of her friends without the potential of being ratted on. That’s entirely too long to be limited to ineffective “darns” and boring “fudges.” Bottom line? It’s simply not possible, or even healthy, to expurgate my vocabulary. This is how the crazies on the clock towers are formed. They repress their true feelings for decades and end up sniping passersby. I don’t want to be a clocktower killer. I believe it’s better to release the rage in small doses. I also think that when used appropriately and with solid comedic timing, foul language is hilarious (exhibit A: George Carlin). That’s why I love my family and coworkers. They get it. They know that swearing is simply a punch line, a vent, or a colorful way to say you’ve had a hard day. But I recognize I probably need to take it down a notch. When you come close to using the c-word in church, it’s time to reevaluate! Here’s to a classier 2017! Peace out.

A year of laughs Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Time again to recognize people who inspired my humor columns this past year. Here’s Part I. humor THANKS to Menards for offering a publication with tips on projects you can make with an empty fivegallon bucket. “The buckets are remarkably strong, adaptable and not easily bent out of shape, easy to work with and hold up under pressure.” Wow, I wish we could have found someone like that to run for president. NO THANKS to my new financial service’s website that asks security questions that even I don’t know the answer to, like, “What time of day was your first child born?” I don’t remember, but I know it was a beautiful day on the golf course. I also didn’t know what city my parents were married in. How would I remember that? I was only a year old. THANKS to the security guard at the airport who witnessed my typical frantic search of my pants and coat to see if I had my cellphone or if I had left it at the check-in. “I’m not going to search you,” the agent said. “You’ve done a great job of patting yourself down.” NO THANKS to me for not having faith my headlights will go out automatically. I have

spent about 17 hours of my life staring at my car because I didn’t trust the technology to do the job when I went inside my house or into a restaurant. In the old days, if I mentioned this to strangers who had left their lights on, they’d say, “I appreciate it. I sure didn’t want a dead battery.” Years later, they said, “No problem, this is one of those cool new cars where they go off automatically.” Lately, I get a lot of, “Relax, grandpa. When’s the last time you bought a set of wheels?” THANKS to Mary Ellen for pointing out to me some of my most annoying habits. “In restaurants, you taste my entrée without even asking me.” “I don’t think tasting each other’s food is such a terrible habit.” “Even when we order the exact same thing?” “OK, I won’t do that anymore.” “And don’t do it to the strangers at the next table, either.” Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist, and speaker.

Blueprint for Improvement: Geist master bath update Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal for this master bathroom was to update the aesthetics of the room to fit the owners’ style. 1. The large tub with the bulky surround was removed and replaced with a sleek freestanding tub with dark bronze fixtures. 2. With the large tub surround removed, there was extra space to enlarge the shower. The look of the shower was updated with glass doors and bronze fixtures. The tile used on the floor was continued on of the back of the shower to give a luxurious look. 3. The floor of the shower is tiled with a small wood, like hexagon mosaic tile. The wood-like pattern gives the shower more detail against the dark floors. 4. Both vanities in the bathroom were replaced with new dark cabinets and granite countertops. Bronze plumbing fixtures were used to maintain continuity. 5. The original tile floor was replaced with a dark brown porcelain tile that visually warms the entire room.

Before Background Info: The owners of this 1990s Geist-area home in the Admirals Point neighborhood were in need of a master bath upgrade. Like so many of these ’90s-era homes, the bathroom was still functional but was completely outdated and no longer fit the personal style of the owners.

Before problems:

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

This master bathroom was outdated but was not in need of any functionality adjustments. The efficient bathroom layout simply needed a “pull and replace” remodel.

Broadway concert show returns By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Neil Berg’s “100 Years of Broadway” has been a road fixture since 2006. However, when he brings his music long-running Broadway concert show to Carmel’s Palladium at 8 p.m. Jan. 21, it will be billed as “101 Years of Broadway.” “Whenever we come back to a venue, I always add a year,” said Berg, who previously brought his show to the Palladium in October 2013. “It’s just our way of telling people we’ve been there before. We make sure every place we come back to (the show) is fresh.” Berg said the show has been the No. 1 touring Broadway concert for the last decade, typically featuring five Broadway performers. The first reason, Berg said, all his singers will perform songs from the actual shows they were in. “We look at the history of Broadway and have them sing songs they would sing if they were stars from that era,” Berg said. “It’s not just some singer singing some Broadway show tunes.” Berg serves as musical director, host and plays the piano during the show. “I basically take people on the journey,”

Neil Berg will present “101 Years of Broadway” show Jan. 21 at the Palladium in Carmel. (Submitted photo)

Berg said. “Being a composer and producer myself and (being) friends with many of these show composers, I get to tell some anecdotes of how the show came to be or how the song was written.” The one performer returning from the previous Palladium appearance is his wife, Rita Harvey, a soprano who starred in “The Phantom of the Opera” and in a revival of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Danny Zolli, a rock/pop tenor, also will perform at the Palladium. He has starred in more performances of “Jesus Christ Superstar” than anyone else in history. For more, visit thecenterpresents.com.
