Amended plans approved by council What happened: Mapleridge development was approved for rezoning at last week's Westfield City Council. What it means: The 60-acre development on the east side of Oak Road, north of 151st Street, has asked to change zoning from agriculture-single family rural to single family low density district. Langston Development presented a new concept plan to the council after public comments. “Overall, this is a better plan,” councilor Steve Hoover said. “It did address most of the actual concerns.” The development is proposed to be similar to the Brookside neighborhood. It will use its floodplain and trail connectivity to serve as amenities. What’s next: Building may begin once permits are approved. What happened: Sheffield Park development was rezoned. What it means: The development, 53 acres north of Ind. 32 between Grassy Branch and Shady Nook roads, has requested a change of zoning from agriculture-single family rural to single family low density district. Plans also have been amended before returning to the council and include three primary changes: creation of a street connection to the neighborhood to the north, more setback along the south property line and additional amenities to the neighborhood.
What’s next: The 124-lot development was approved and may begin building.
What happened: Springmill Trails development was amended. What it means: M/I Homes of Indiana has requested an amendment to the change seven lots in the 106-lot Water’s Edge subdivision. The change allows the developer to build three-car garages and offer wider floor plans. Five homes will have 5-foot side setbacks instead of 6-foot and two homes have reduced their front yards from 20 feet to 19 feet.

Police tackle drug misuse – The Westfield Police Dept. is unveiling a new drop-off site for unused prescription drugs in the lobby of the Westfield Public Safety Building, 17535 Dartown Rd. The drop-off will provide a secure location for people to deposit prescription medication, and is part of a larger effort by the Indiana Attorney Rush General’s office to combat the misuse of prescription drugs. “Our goal is to keep Westfield residents safe from danger,” said Westfield Police Chief Joel Rush. “Sometimes dangerous situations don’t arise from robberies or shootings. Sometimes that danger can come from everyday sources, such as the misuse or abuse of prescription medication.” Lobby hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Diversion – Beginning Feb. 17 and running through March 24 on Tuesday evenings, the Westfield Parks Dept. will be holding Claymation in Motion for ages 14-17.

Cost is $92.

DISPATCHes
What it means: Municipalities have been asked by the Hamilton County Commissioners to show support for a proposed public safety training facility on land owned by the City of Westfield. The facility will feature a burn tower and firing range. While no monetary action will be taken, the city may pay up to $40,000 for operational costs (along with the other municipalities) and the county will build the proposed $3 million project. “The vision is for it to be self sufficient and self sustaining,” councilor Jim Ake said.
What’s next: The Hamilton County Council is expected to vote on approving funds for the facility in March or April. Compiled by Robert Herrington

Ex-clerk ready for next chapter By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com After Peggy Beaver’s second term as Hamilton County Clerk ended this month, she was offered a job in the clerk’s office. profile “I thought about it but I decided to retire after 30 years of service,” Beaver said. “I am ready for the next chapter. Sometimes you just know when it’s time.” Beaver said “the most memorable thing is I had an opportunity to make a difference and be able to serve the public.” Beaver served as Hamilton County Clerk for two terms, starting in 2008. “I had a great staff,” Beaver said. “I had 50 on my staff in the clerk’s office. They’re pretty much like family to me after working there for 30 years. A lot of the same girls were hired in close to when I was hired in so we formed a really good relationship there.” Beaver, who started working the clerk’s office in 1985, was a bookkeeper in the office for about 20 years before running for clerk in 2006. “There was a holdover year when I ran for clerk so I won the election in 2006 but had to sit out 2007 and take office in 2008,” said Beaver, who could not run again because of a term limit. Tammy Baitz, who had served in the clerk’s office for more than 25 years, was elected to replace Beaver. Beaver said she ran because she had helped so many others in their campaign that she knew she had enough ability to know how to run her own campaign. Beaver was hired in the clerk’s office by thenHamilton County Clerk Kathy Richardson, who is the election administrator for Hamilton County and a state representative for District 29. Prior to working in the clerk’s office, Beaver was a reading tutor and worked as a dental assistant. Beaver, 61, said she has lived in Noblesville most of her life, graduating from Noblesville High

School in 1972. Beaver’s husband Tim owns Bolden’s Cleaning & Restoration Service. They have three daughters and three grandchildren. “My husband and I just bought a new motorhome so we’re going to try to do some more traveling,” Beaver said. “Once the weather gets better we plan on going to Florida and maybe a trip to Portland, Oregon, where one of my daughters lives with my grandson. Another daughter lives in Texas so we have a lot of destinations we could visit.” Beaver plans to become a volunteer in the community. “There are a lot of opportunities out there that I can get involved in,” she said. “I hope to do some of the things I haven’t been able to do that interest me like photography. I do enjoy gardening and working in the yard. I’d like to read a little more, some of those things you don’t have a chance to do until you do have an opportunity like this.”
Public safety Hamilton County’s newest Merit Deputy, Juan Munoz, was sworn in by Sheriff Mark Bowen on Jan. 12. Originally from the Bronx, Munoz lives in Carmel with his wife and 15-year-old son. He is a graduate of the Sheriff’s Office first Citizens Academy in 2010 and graduated from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy’s Basic Class 2011-192. Munoz, who is fluent in Spanish, comes to Hamilton County from the Indianapolis International Airport Police and has previous experience with Indiana State Police Capital Police. He will be working with senior deputies during the next few months as he transitions into his new responsibilities patrolling the roads of Hamilton County. (Submitted photo)

Lehman elected to lead council By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com While Chuck Lehman is just starting his second full year on the Westfield City Council, he has been selected to serve as the organization’s president for 2015. government “Truly it’s an honor to serve,” he said. Lehman said his goal is to balance community and economic development. “The last few years I think the focus has been emphasizing economic development and helping businesses build this and that,” he said. “I think now it has started to shift when you look at Grand Junction and other items coming through … Economic development is absolutely critical but you also have to spend as much time creating community development.” Personally, Lehman said he has no projects or plans he wants to accomplish as president. “I have no agenda, we’re here to serve,” he said. “You deal with what comes along. It’s really fun to be involved and see what happens.” Public safety is an issue the city continues to address but Lehman doesn’t see any other major hurdles facing the council. “We deal with challenges, but nothing jumps out,” he said. “I don’t see any major problems anywhere.” Lehman was elected by a Republican to replace John Dippel on the Westfield City Council on Oct. 14, 2013. Dippel, who died on Sept. 21, had

about two years left on his term as District 4 representative. Lehman resides with his wife, Patricia, in Centennial. He has experience as an elected official and previously served as a town councilor in Kentland, Ind. and was a Newton County Commissioner. Within the city, Lehman is active in the Westfield Chamber of Commerce, Westfield Rotary Club and his church. “Chuck has a great background,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said. Prior to getting involved in local public service, Cook said Lehman sat in the back of City Hall during meetings for a better part of a year. “He’s a great listener and has a deep thought process,” Cook said. “I’m looking forward to the year under his presidency.” Outgoing president Jim Ake will serve as vice president this year.

Barber closes shop, retires scissors after 60 years By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Fred Baade learned how to cut hair at age 14 in Germany near the end of World War II. “Hitler was still in charge when I started cutting hair,” Baade said. profile There wasn’t much choice for Baade in his town of Kiel. “We didn’t have as much schooling as others,” Baade said. “We were bombed and shot at a lot.” Baade said some jobs available to him other than barber would be a tailor or a hotel clerk. Baade was born in Milwaukee and then his parents moved to Indianapolis. But his parents moved back to their native Germany in 1934. Baade and his sister were U.S. citizens. In 1951, Baade saw in the newspaper that he had a chance to return to the U.S. since he was born there. “You had to be under 21 to save your citizenship,” Baade said. “I had an American passport. When I told my dad, he said your mom won’t let you. I said ‘Well, who stopped her?’ I kept working on her to let me. I said ‘Mom if I don’t like it over there I can come back. I just have to work hard to get the money.’” Although he didn’t speak any English, Baade returned to Indianapolis and started cutting hair at Fort Harrison. With the help of an Army sergeant who knew German, he began to learn English. He has been an Indianapolis barber ever since. Baade, who turned 85 on Jan. 5, closed his Indianapolis shop in the St.Vincent’s Professional

Office Building (8402 Harcourt Rd.). He had been there more than 39 years, opening on Nov. 25, 1975. “Things are slow and business isn’t that good,” said Baade, a Carmel resident for more than 48 years. “I have mixed emotions.” Baade owned a five-chair barber shop at Kessler and College, but doctors, including his friend, Dr. Charlie Van Tassel, convinced him to move farther north to the Professional Building. He finally agreed but it took him some time to sell his shop. “The fact that he is still looking for work because he enjoys it so much is a testament to his work ethic and character,” said his daughter-inlaw Kelly Baade. Kelly is married to Erik, the only child of Fred and Herta, who have been married for 54 years. “He loves people,” said 53-year-old Erik, a
Westfield resident. “He always said he couldn’t retire because he couldn’t stand being at home and sitting still.” Kelly said Fred and Herta, 79, both seem ageless to her. “I have to remind myself sometimes of their age,” Kelly said. “Fred likes to smile and wink and say ‘I’m only 42!’” Baade, who will likely find a place to donate his barber’s chair, mirror and other fixtures, said he enjoys visiting with people. “I like my work,” he said. “I never complained about my work. A lot of people complain about their work. I always say, ‘Well, get out and do something you like.’” Many of his customers have been coming to him for years, including former Indianapolis Mayor William Hudnut, who first came to see Baade before his first inauguration as mayor in 1976. It was the first of 82-year-old Hudnut’s four terms. Hudnut, who lives in the Washington, D.C., area with his wife Beverly, came to see Baade on Dec. 12, two days before his statue was unveiled at Hudnut Commons. Hudnut was introduced to Baade’s shop by Mayflower CEO and chairman Johnny B. Smith, a mutual friend and Baade’s customer. “I love to come in and hear Fred’s stories and talk to him about the old days,” said Hudnut, who makes sure to visit whenever he is in town. “Fred is so kind to have the picture of our son’s first hair cut on his wall. He’s 22 now.”

meet mark heirbrandt Age: 49 Residence: Westfield (has lived in Hamilton County for 22 years, previously in Carmel and Noblesville) Birthplace: Indianapolis Family: Wife, Gina; and three sons, Blake, Ethan and Evan. Education: Ben Davis High School and the University of Indianapolis (on a track and field scholarship). Hobbies: Golfing, fishing and working out. Religion: Attends St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church in Westfield. Something you may not know about him: Mark has an identical twin brother and twin boys. His brother Mark has triplets. Personal quote: “I fully believe that if I do the right things, good things will happen. Sometimes it bites me, but in the end it has always worked out.”
Mark Heirbrandt becomes Westfield’s first resident to lead county commissioners By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For the past two years, Westfield’s Mark Heirbrandt has served as Hamilton County Commissioner in District 3. This cover story year he takes on the added responsibility of being the organization’s president – the first Shamrock to claim that title. “I certainly hope it doesn’t change the way I was before. That’s one concern I’ve always had,” he said. “I really let my faith help me lead on really everything I do. Adding to Heirbrandt’s history is the fact that he has never been elected into office by the public he represents. Heirbrandt was elected during a caucus of Republican Precinct Committeemen from all across Hamilton County on Jan. 26, 2012. He is serving the remainder of Doug Carter’s term after he resigned in early January 2012 when he was selected by Gov. Mike Pence to be the Indiana State Police Superintendent. “If it wasn’t for him I never would have ran,” Heirbrandt said. “I talk to him all the time still. He was the first to say, ‘You should really, really run. I think you’d be good for this.’” While District 3 includes Washington, Adams, Jackson, White River, Wayne and Fall Creek

townships, Heirbrandt makes it a point to attend all kinds of government meetings. “The biggest thing is listening to people and working with them to get things done,” he said. “I take this as a serious responsibility. I feel that at any meeting I attend I am going to learn something and maybe find an opportunity for me to help them.” Fellow commissioner Christine Altman described Heirbrandt as “boundless energy.” “I’m excited to watch him as he progresses through the year,” she said. “He puts in the time and energy in the job and gets out to the communities. He represents us extremely well.” Being involved in public service in not new for Heirbrandt, who served for six years on the Westfield Board of Public Works and Safety.
“I’ve never seen a harder working elected official in my days,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “He does a fantastic job of managing his professional life, family life and public life. I don’t know how he does it.” Heirbrandt said his proudest achievements in Westfield are the drainage projects being worked on and Bridge No. 147 at 161st and Union streets. “This bridge was probably the only non-two lane bridge in the whole county and we were able to work and get that accomplished (widened to a traditional two-lanes),” he said. “The (Westfield) mayor and town council tried to get it done for years. You had to stop and let the other guy go through before you could pass. It’s a lot wider now.” One of the strengths of the county is its ability
to plan and be prepared, Heirbrandt said. “We’re always planning ahead because we are fortunate. We’re growing as one of the fastest counties in the state and country,” he said. “We are always in planning mode, looking out five to 10 years. Heirbrandt’s goals are to make elected officials work together and to remove some of the grudges. “I don’t care what happened in the past. I’m ready to move forward,” he said. “I’m trying to reshape the mindset of people to be positive, not negative, and to be proactive and sometimes it’s a struggle because people can’t let go of what happened in the past.” Heirbrandt works in the water and energy efficiency industry and his focus is on local municipal governments within the state. His background also has an impact on the taxpayers. “With energy efficiencies, we’ve probably saved more than $300,000 in utilities since I came on board,” he said. “It’s been very rewarding to see some of the things happen that I was told were impossible to get done.”
Commissioner Mark Heirbrant's Top Five 2015 Projects for Hamilton County Ind. 37
• Recap: Proposal to reduce traffic congestion and travel times along a sixmile stretch of Ind. 37 between Fishers and Noblesville by creating a freeway with roundabout intersections similar to Keystone Parkway in Carmel. • Cost estimate: $243 million during 50 years. • Quote: About putting pressure on the state and INDOT to make the project a priority, Heirbrandt said: “The governor knows how important this project is to us and the citizens of Hamilton County,”
Public safety
Judicial center expansion Training facility
• Recap: Proposed plans for the 96 acres, owned by Westfield on River Road in Noblesville, include a multi-story burn tower, a 20-line weapons training and qualifications range, infrastructure for roads and a small building for classrooms, equipment and bathrooms. • Cost estimate: $3 million. • Quote: “I see us maybe in March/April having more discussions about the training facility and move to the next stage of implementation if the county council is interested in public safety for our community.”
• Recap: Officials have decided to build an addition instead of find a new location to house county departments. However, any government or school project costing more than $12 million requires a referendum and that route is not something the county wishes to take. County officials have approached state lawmakers to adjust the bill. • Cost estimate: $20 million • Quote: “It doesn’t fit the needs for every community. We’d like to be able to insert money above the $12 million cap … I feel very confident we will get something done.”
Jail changes, expansion
• Recap: As a result of legislative changes, beginning July 1 Indiana counties will be responsible for housing convicted inmates with Class D felonies instead of the state. A shell was built on the third story of the county community corrections with 33,000-square-feet of open space available. • Cost estimate: $70 to $80 per square foot. • Quote: “Our inmate population could increase by 70 inmates a day by 2016, bringing the inmate jail population to 123 percent of capacity. We are looking at the master plan and how we are going to accommodate additional inmates. The state has put that burden on us.”
• Recap: Countywide first responders will be switched to a new radio system. The county was previously split on two radio systems but the new one will allow easier communication and is the same one used in Marion County and by the Indiana State Police. • Quote: “This allows us to talk to multiple agencies. This is going to take public safety to another level for us.”

Meet your teacher, Zach Zimmer Grade/subject: Seventh grade social studies, Westfield Middle School Number of years teaching: Six Background/schooling: Trinity High School, Winter Park, Fla.; bachelor’s in secondary education, Butler University; and master’s in education, Indiana University. Why did you become a teacher? I was a business major my freshman year in college. While working back in Florida the following summer, my grandfather (my idol) spoke to me about that choice of major over lunch. He pointed out that my passions were history, sports and working with kids. I called Butler the following morning and switched my major to education. A life-changing choice influenced by the best man I’ll ever know. Additionally, meeting and learning from former WMS teacher Susie Seal motivated me into wanting to be a teacher for life. What goals do you have for your students? While pushing them academically, I want to also motivate students to build on their character as they learn to always be unique and serve others around them. What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? I believe written and verbal
communication are extremely important skills that students will need for any job they apply for in their futures (resumes, cover letZimmer ters, in-person interviews). Therefore, any time they can talk and write with their children will benefit them significantly. Additionally, I encourage parents to get their children involved in as many extra-curricular activities as possible. It helps them socially, emotionally and academically. Extra-curriculars always motivate students in the classroom while also giving them access to things they have a passion for. What is your favorite movie? “Remember the Titans” and “Notting Hill.” Who is your favorite musician or band? Yellowcard, Keith Urban and The Script What’s something your students might not know about you? I proposed to my wife Mrs. Z on the 50-yardline bulldog of the Butler Bowl. My first job was from age 14 to 18 as a bicycle mechanic and salesman at my father’s bicycle shop. I also drove around a bicycle Pedi cab as a night job in downtown Orlando. I therefore am a big cycling fan and watch the Tour de France every July.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Where only true leaders are needed We’re sure you’ve heard the fallout about President Barack Obama’s no-show at the Paris anti-terrorism march, which drew “dozens of world leaders” on Jan. 11. Quite frankly, we don’t understand what all the fuss is about. Everything we’ve read and heard about the incident emphasized how the event drew “world leaders,” several of which represent some of America’s closest allies, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Spanish Minister Mariana Rajoy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, among others. In Obama’s defense, the key words are, as we see it, “world leaders,” and, as such, Obama simply doesn’t qualify. Therefore, we don’t see reason for the uproar regarding his absence. As the White House fumbled for a response to enquiring reporters, it cited security concerns as one reason behind his absence; however, it was comforting to know security standards were met when, on the day following the march, Jan. 12, the “leader of the free world” accepted a San Antonio Spurs jersey, when he honored the team’s 2014 NBA championship. Brave soul, he. ••• College football crowned its first playoff champion last Monday, when Ohio State defeated Oregon in the inaugural game. On the non-football side of the equation, it was refreshing to see a Super Bowl-type atmosphere functioning not with corporate types in the stands and at the various related venues, but with true fans of the teams or college football in general. Bands, cheerleaders, stadium-wide chants … it all made for a fine experience, when the opposite could have happened. ••• An American Beauty: This one takes the rose.

The elephant in the room
Commentary by Terry Anker
Can being polite ever be a bad thing? In the Victorian age, we were encumbered with a plethora of topics deemed “impolite” and to be avoided, especially in mixed company, at all costs. Money, sex, health, politics and religion all made the taboo list. And, in many Asian cultures, the interaction between a woman and her physician was greatly restricted, providing an ivory doll to which the stricken female was to demurely point to the general region of discomfort so that the attending doctor could plot a course of medical treatment. It would seem that death by embarrassment was a real possibility. How much more enlightened and insightful have we become? Our society will openly discuss all manner of Kardashian proclivity in prime time. The Family Guy reminds our youth from the time they jump off the bus until the wee hours of the morning that there is no taboo that should not be transgressed. One could certainly debate the merits of this kind of open discourse; but, it
is pointless to imagine that we’d ever return to an era where important, even life-endangering, matters are not openly discussed. Yet as our malls have become little more than stadiums for the Ultimate Gang Fighting Championships and innocent police officers are executed in some imagined noble quest of retaliation, why do we still blush if someone acknowledges that the culture of a community might be a consideration in the conversation about how to improve our social ailments? Anyone with an Internet connection and the inclination can review scores of videos of shopping center hoodlums terrorizing shopkeepers and customers alike. Shouldn’t we be talking about what we see? If there is an elephant in the room, does our shamed silence really help? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Ohio, women are prohibited from wearing patent leather shoes in public.

News flash: If you dislike my column, DON’T READ IT! Seriously, no one is making you sit down with your cup of organic coffee and peruse my articles. Turn the page, avert your eyes, or simply toss the paper straight into recycling. But don’t e-mail to tell me I’m a terrible mother or that my husband Doo is an abusive spouse. Don’t send letters that ask how in the world my children will remain out of prison and/or fat camp or how I must find Jesus to save my soul from eternal damnation (a path I’m clearly on!) You can certainly keep on judging me and my choices; I’m just asking that you keep the mean stuff to yourself. I’m not exactly sure where the current string of personal criticism was spawned. I’ve kept my topics non-controversial and rather benign, and focused mostly on the antics of my four children and bald Sugar Daddy. Until last week, I’d had a fairly good run of little to no hate mail. Nevertheless, recent expressions of “distaste” dictate the need for the following reminders about my column. • I’m a math teacher with neither a degree in English nor in journalism. I rely on my good wits, Spellcheck, and my amazing editors to keep me in the “language clear.” Occasionally I invent words or deliberately [meaning: on purpose] defy the laws of grammar. Basically, I write how I speak, which almost always includes nonsensical vocabulary and incomplete sentences. So there. • Doo and I have been married for 18 years. We still laugh a lot, enjoy spending time together and periodically frustrate the bejeesus out of each other. I choose to share the aggravating moments because they’re far more interesting and entertaining. This should in no way imply that we’re headed for divorce. Trenton again, perhaps, but not divorce. • I believe my children are healthy, happy and acceptably well-adjusted. True, they fight incessantly, have messy rooms, don’t make their school sports’ teams, sometimes eat PopTarts for dinner, are addicted to all forms of “electronical” devices, and occasionally get grounded for bad grades. I imagine they’re like most kids. I’m not ruling out future therapy or incarceration, I’m just saying they are normal. • My writing motto is and always has been, “Keep it Real!” If you want to read about Stepford wives, look elsewhere. So let’s keep the meanness to yourselves, people! Peace out.

Whose line is it, anyway? Commentary by Dick Wolfsie What makes great one-liners? They are often wonderful insights, plays on words humor or mis-directions in thinking. Below are just a few of my favorites that I collected during the year 2014. Some are far older than that, but they were new to me and made me smile. I hope they do the same for you. Think of it as a belated Christmas gift. Next week you have to read my jokes (Note: when I know whose line it is, I give proper credit. But using other people’s jokes is not unheard of. After all, that’s how I got this column written.) I told people I wanted to be a comic when I grew up. They laughed at me. They’re not laughing now. (Bob Monkhouse) My parents were here for a long visit. I took them to the airport today. The plane leaves next Thursday. (Margaret Smith) At the hotel, I asked for a wake-up call at 6:30 a.m. The phone rang and the clerk said, “You’re a loser, quit wasting your life.” (Demetri Martin) I was a ballerina but I quit when I injured a groin muscle. It wasn’t mine. (Rita Rudner) When people ask me how I am getting to the airport, I say, “Well, I’m flying to one of them. (Steven Wright) I asked my date what she wanted to drink. She said, “Oh, I guess I’ll have champagne.” I said, Guess again.” (Slappy White)
I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realized God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked him to forgive me. (Emo Philips) I intend to live forever. So far so good. (Steven Wright) Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them? If I’m the best man at a wedding, why is she marrying him?

‘Pete the Cat’ author Litwin to visit Jan. 21
By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com
Eric Litwin, the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of “Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes” and three follow-up adventures, will be visiting (and performing) at 6 p.m. Jan. 21 at the Westfield Washington Public Library, 333 W. Hoover St. diversion “In each show I tend to do one of the ‘Pete the Cat’ books I wrote, I will do a ‘The Nuts’ family book which is my new series and then I’ll do a ‘Groovy Joe’ story. That’s my new character coming out that is a dog,” he said. “The third story is experimental. It’s a work in progress and I watch the audience responding to the story and that is really how I edit, shape and develop these stories.” This is Litwin’s first trip to Westfield. In addition to visiting WWPL, Litwin will appear at Shamrock Springs, Oak Trace, Maple Glen and Carey Ridge elementary schools this week. “I’m going to do between one and four performances a day,” he said. “I travel approximately 10 days out of every month. It ends up coming to approximately 200-400 every year. This is a big part of how I create my material.” Before being a writer, Litwin was a teacher working with special needs students. “I knew I could not solve every problem, but what I figured out was if I could help them learn to read better and help them fall in love with books and become better readers that everything else they tried to do would go better,” he said. “The trick is how do you get students to fall in love with books when they have experienced a lot of frustration with books?” Litwin said he wanted to utilize his skills acquired as a performer of music and folk tales and start making the stories interactive. He said the technical word for his style is prediction. “The child is not just relying on phonics and sight words, he or she is using all sorts of aspects of their intelligence to figure the book out,” he said. “Once they have that experience of success

their likelihood of becoming lifetime readers and falling in love with reading books has just increased substantially. That is my entire focus: I create books that help beginning readers and emerging readers because it engages them and because these techniques empower them.” Litwin wrote the first four Pete the Cat picture books – “I Love My White Shoes,” “Rocking in My School Shoes,” “Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons” and “Pete the Cat Saves Christmas.” “One week I had the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 bestselling picture book at the same time,” he said. “They are translated into eight different languages so I am really proud of those four books.” Litwin said he knew he had a great story, collaborated with the artist James Dean and his “Little Girl and her White Shoes” became “Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes.”
“I felt the synergy between my story and his character was so strong that I did think we had a good shot at a hit,” he said. “The greatest surprise and my happiest surprise for me is how many teachers and classrooms have incorporated my books into their curriculum.” Litwin has moved on to a new series called The Nut family. “They are actually nuts,” he said. “The first book (“Bedtime Cover of 'Pete the Cat' at the Nut House”) I’m very proud of because it blends early literacy and disco music. Parents can now disco dance their kids to bed.” Litwin said the book is a musical bedtime story and his second book, “Sing and Dance in Your Polka Dot Pants,” will be released in the fall. “It is so much fun,” he said. “It’s going to end with a line dance called the polka dot pants dance.” When Litwin is not writing he enjoys a lot of health related events – hiking and yoga – and reads quite a bit. “You will pretty much always find me with a book,” he said. “At the moment I’m in the middle of ‘Death of a King’ by Travis Smiley. Just before that I finished ‘Dealbreaker’ by Harlan Coben and ‘Jerry Lee Lewis’ by Rick Bragg. I consume books and am always on the lookout for great books.” Eric Litwin • 6 p.m. Jan. 21 • Westfield Washington Public Library, 333 W.

Classical version of classic rock

HAPPY HOMES MAKE HAPPY LIVES.
Take two trumpets and a tuba, a french horn and trombone, plus some drums. Mix in a healthy dose of Queen, a dash of Jimi Hendrix and a dab of Duke Ellington. The result is concert Masterworks 6, which consists of six members who jump from classic rock to classic swing. Their brass instruments simulate guitar solos and vocal measures from popular as well as classical pieces. Masterworks 6 will appear at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m., Feb. 6 as part of a fundraiser by Zionsville Band and Orchestra Patrons - a parent support group for the high school’s instrumental music program - along with local group Willoughby Sprig. “It’s incredible that they can make the music they do without guitars and other traditional instruments,” said ZBOP parent Erika Revercomb. “I think adults will be more familiar with the class rock tunes, but students will have a blast seeing how rock music is performed with traditional

brass instruments.” Masterworks 6 members have master or doctorate degrees in their respective instruments, with many receiving their degrees from various Indiana universities. Some members also perform with professional orchestras while others teach at the collegiate level. Part of their mission statement is to “motivate, educate and entertain students with the hope they will be inspired to express themselves through the art of music.” Through this they plan to spend time with high school instrumental students during the school day and make a connection with the students. The first half of the feature length concert will showcase Masterwork 6 performing tunes from the big band era with classic rock in the second half of the program. The second half will also feature Zionsville Community High School music students on stage performing two classic rock selections. Tickets, which are available at ZBOPOnline. com, are $20 for adults and $10 for students.

Range Line Rd., will hold a dinner from 6 to 8 p.m. on Jan. 25. Tina Jesson, a Great Britain native, said she has hosted Burns Night suppers before in previous locations. “We specialize in British food so we thought Britishthemed literary events would Jesson give people an experience like no other —well not without hopping on a plane and visiting the UK,” she said. Jesson said it also gives her restaurant a chance to show the amazing array of foods offered in the British Isles. Jesson said while Great Britain natives come to her events “we find is that our American guests are very supportive of experiencing a slice of Britain here in the center
of Indiana.” Jesson said there are plans for bagpipers and Scottish dancers. Someone also will likely read passages from Burns’ famous work. Restaurant manager Claire Hollenbaugh, another native Brit, said they are seeking a person with a true Scottish accent to read his poem “Address to a Haggis.” Among Burns’ other famous poems is “Auld Lang Syne.” Hollenbaugh said it’s a Burns Night tradition to hang the Scottish flag. The five-course dinner (costs $45 including tax) includes: • Scottish Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese • Scotch Broth • Haggis (ground lamb with oats special seasoning) with Neeps (turnips) and Tatties (mashed potatoes) • Cranachan is a traditional Scottish dessert made from a mixture of whipped • cream, honey and raspberries and oatmeal. • Coffee and Scottish Shortbread (The link to purchase tickets for Burns Night supper can be found under events at tinastraditional.com).

Sports complex gets first tenants By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The indoor facility at Grand Park Sports Complex has its anchor tenants awaiting the building to be completed. On Jan. 12, the Westgrand park field City Council approved 10-year agreements to lease portions of the facility to Byrd Enterprises and Indiana Sports Properties. “These two agreements provide a cash flow mechanism for debt service and operating costs,” Deputy Mayor Todd Burtron said. “The model is not unlike a retailer at a shopping mall.” Combined, the tenants will pay more than $2 million annually. Burtron said that amount includes $250,000 of profit, which will be used within Grand Park for maintenance and upBurtron keep costs. “The capital building fund will make improvements as time goes on,” he said. “It’s not going to be a burden to the general tax field.” Each agreement also includes revenue-sharing plans between the city and the tenant. In the Byrd agreement, Westfield will earn 12 percent of revenue earned through the rented space, which includes a restaurant and a sports bar. With the ISP agreement, the city will receive a sliding share of any revenue beyond $100,000 starting in the fifth year of the lease. The scale is 10 percent between $100,000 and $250,000; 15 percent for $250,000 to $400,000; and 20
percent of $400,000 or more. ISP will rent the “Fields and Flex Center” consisting of 295,650 square feet of fields and 53,468 square feet in two concourses for locker rooms and office space (92.41 percent of rentable space). ISP also will sublease approximately 3,780 square feet of office space (1.08 percent) to another group that has not been announced. Byrd will rent the “Food Service” area on the mezzanine level, the “Lounge” on the second floor and the dedicated restrooms on the second floor – a total of approximately 17,040 square feet (4.51 percent of the building). “There is 7,000 square feet in unobligated space available for rent,” Burtron said. The 370,000-square-foot indoor facility will have three full-size professional soccer fields. The space can be used year round for recreational and competitive play for all field sports, as well as a destination for non-sport activities, such as conventions and special events. It will be located along 191st street and Grand Park Blvd. at Grand Park. “Grand Park Sports Complex will turn Grand Park into a magnet for year round play in the youth sports industry,” said Mayor Andy Cook. “In its first year of operations, Grand Park far exceeded our attendance goals, the indoor facility will attract even more teams and players and in turn expand Westfield’s industry, of travel youth sports. These agreements are with highly regarded companies in their respective fields, and that will only further our future success on a regional and a national level.” The building is expected to open by Jan. 15, 2016.

Be aware of glaucoma dangers
Commentary by Dr. Tammy Wittmann
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that randomly steal your sight without warning and often without symptoms. In a healthy eye, there is a balvision ance that is achieved between fluid produced in the eye and fluid leaving the eye. But with glaucoma, either too much fluid is produced or not enough leaves the eye. Either of these problems increases the pressure in your eyes. Continuous elevated pressure damages the optic nerve. It’s important to note that it is this damage that is glaucoma, not high pressure. About 30 percent of patients with glaucoma have what is considered normal pressure for the eyes. If left untreated, damage to the optic nerve can lead to vision loss and even blindness. Here is a true case in my practice. I saw a 72-yearold man who was a farmer. He had never had a comprehensive eye examination. His distance vision was always pretty good but he started wearing over the counter readers in his late 40’s. When he was 72 he realized the readers were no longer helping his vision so he came to see
me. Unfortunately he had end-stage glaucoma in both eyes and the optic nerve was irreversibly damaged. There were no prescription glasses that could help him see better. There were no treatments that could bring back his vision. The only thing we could do was to try to save his remaining vision, which by this time was like a very restricted tunnel. There are several treatment options available when glaucoma is caught soon enough. Your eye doctor may suggest eye drops, a laser procedure or a surgical procedure depending on the type and severity of your glaucoma. This is only one reason for a seemingly healthy person with 20/20 vision to get an annual comprehensive eye examination. Call your eye doctor and schedule yours today if you haven’t already. Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

Natural cough remedy – Getting rid of a lingering cough can be difficult. But a recent study discovered an easy, natural solution that works far better than prescription cures. A remedy made from honey and coffee reduced cough frequency by 93 percent, compared with 20 percent for a steroid and almost no effect from a cough suppressant medication. Mix about five parts honey to one part instant coffee crystals. Drink one tablespoon of the mixture in about seven ounces of water every eight hours as needed.

A snack can save your marriage – Hunger causes people’s glucose levels to drop, so they have less energy and therefore less self-control when it comes to dealing with anger and aggression. Have a snack when you feel your mood dipping. A snack with protein and “slow carbs” - such as a handful of almonds and an apple - will help keep your blood sugar levels stable. Also, wait to discuss a sensitive topic until you are feeling full. Keeping an eye on how hungry you are can go a long way toward keeping your relationships healthy. Source: The Daily Burst. Prevent wandering – Many people with Alzheimer’s disease wander. As the weather becomes dangerously cold, here are some tips to keep them safe. • Place nightlights throughout the home or facility. • Install slide locks at the top or bottom of doors. • Use childproof covers on doorknobs. • Use monitoring devices that signal when a door is opened. • Label doors with signs or symbols that explain the purpose of each room. • Secure trigger items. Some people will not go out without a coat, hat, pocketbook, keys, wallet, etc. Making these items unavailable can prevent wandering. Source: Alzheimer's Association

Bones of first pope still at St. Peter’s
Dispatches
Commentary by Don Knebel Despite contrary claims, St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome remains the world’s largest church, featuring the world’s tallest dome. Roman travel Catholics are more inspired by what they believe is its link to the bones of St. Peter, whom they consider their first pope. In 319, newly Christian Roman Emperor Constantine ordered a massive basilica built over a small shrine in a cemetery adjacent the Circus of Nero. Local Christians claimed the shrine marked the grave of Peter, the disciple of Jesus they believed was crucified in 64 A.D. near an obelisk, plundered from Egypt, near the center of the circus. Constantine’s church, named for Peter, became one of the most important churches in Christendom. In 1505, the original St. Peter’s had fallen into disrepair and Pope Julius II decided to build a new basilica on the site. Numerous designs, all including a dome surpassing Brunelleschi’s astounding dome on the Florence Cathedral, were proposed by a series of noted architects, including Rafael. For various reasons, those designs were never built. In 1547, a frustrated Pope Paul III conscripted Michelangelo, then 72, to take over the project and he is credited with creating the overall plan for the current building. In 1586, with construction underway, the obelisk from the Circus of Nero was placed in front of the basilica as a tribute to Peter, with a cross placed atop an

apex designed to point toward Egypt’s sun god. Completed in 1626, St. Peter’s Basilica encloses almost five acres. The signature dome rises 448 feet, 160 feet higher than the United States Capitol dome. Today, the body of Pope John XXIII is displayed behind glass on the main floor of St. Peter’s and that of Pope Saint John Paul II is entombed near Michelangelo’s famous pieta. They join at least 89 other popes buried in and under the church that Roman Catholics since Constantine have
believed lies over the tomb of St. Peter. In the 1940s, archaeologists uncovered a handful of bones beneath St. Peter’s main altar later determined to belong to a man in his 60s. The faithful have no doubt the man’s name was Peter. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com.

How to avoid Facebook fraud – Most of us know to delete e-mails from Nigerian princes who want to give us large sums of money. But seeing an investment opportunity through Facebook or Twitter doesn’t seem to raise the same alerts. And that is why it can be so dangerous. 1. Be careful about responding to unsolicited offers that arrive on your Facebook wall or in a tweet. 2. Watch for affinity fraud—investment pitches through online groups to which you belong. 3. Look for red flags, such as claims of guaranteed returns that come with no risk. 4. Learn the privacy and s ecurity settings at every website that you use, and set them to limit access by people you do not know. Source: Fraud Alert Studies, Inc.

To prevent the locks from freezing in the first place, spray some WD-40 into them before cold weather hits. You can also spray it into the locks if they’ve frozen and don’t have a straw.

Rearranging a floor plan for better flow
EXISTING HOME: After fulfilling a dream of purchasing a river side home in the heart of downtown Noblesville, blueprint for the homeowners set improvement out to update their 1940’s home to accommodate their love of family, cooking and reading. “The house wasn’t set up for the way we live our daily lives. It lacked storage space for our book collection. The kitchen was so cramped that we couldn’t cook together as a couple and the dining room didn’t flow well for hosting our large family.” NEW FLOOR PLAN: The kitchen was gutted and a wall removed to create one large open space. The adjacent living room was transformed into the new dining room. To improve the natural flow, the existing doorway leading into the family room was enclosed and two new doorways were added on each end of the wall. The improved floor plan functions better and allows space to add built-in bookcases in the family room and the new dining room. KITCHEN DETAILS: Maple cabinetry in an “Arctic” finish fills the enlarged kitchen with abundant storage space. The multi-purpose island includes integrated shelving for cookbooks and seating space for three teenagers. The decorative exhaust hood cabinetry adds dimension while the wall chase and niche covered in “Red-

READING NOOK: “We wanted to preserve the historical charm in the house so we decided to keep the breakfast nook and convert it into a quiet area for morning coffee and reading.” The existing wallpaper was removed and the room was painted yellow to brighten the space. The existing corner hutches were painted white with bold accent colors.
