On the cover

Westfield officials said the impending litigation against them is costing the city and potential developers’ time and money. As a remedy, Council the council will host another public hearing considering the Grand Park Indoor Athletic Facilities lease. “The action is intended to remove certain impediments,” Deputy Mayor Todd Burtron said. “The project is wrapped up in litigation. This is a means to keep the project on time before economic development begins to stall.” A lawsuit, which was filed Dec. Burtron 9, 2014 by Westfield resident Jeff Harpe, lists Mayor Andy Cook and all city councilors with the exception of Cindy Spoljaric as defendants. Spolaric was the lone vote against the project last year. The lawsuit claims the council allegedly violated the open door law by meeting on several occasions to discuss funding for the project without posting public notice prior to voting on the planned 380,000 square foot indoor sports facility at Grand Park. At the recommendation of officials, the council has authorized a public hearing for a new ordinance on Feb. 9. The public hearing was approved 4-1 with Spoljaric again casting the dissenting vote. Councilors Bob Smith and Rob Stokes were not present at the meeting. Burtron said the new ordinance and public hearing will contain very similar material as the one mentioned in the lawsuit. “You can’t have two ones,” he said. “The new ordinance, if approved, would in turn void the ordinance called into question.” Burtron said the lawsuit has placed $50 million in

economic development on hold and is causing problems for potential developers in Grand Park Village and the U.S. 31-Ind. 32 intersection. “Timing is of the essence,” he said. Burtron said neither he or the city would not comment on the lawsuit but attorney Brian Zaiger has filed a motion to dismiss which is scheduled to be heard by Judge Paul Felix on Feb. 12. “Frivolous and vexatious is how our lawyers have phrased it,” Burtron said. “We want to carry on the will of the people. It’s one guy who is politically motivated.”

background The facility will be developed by Holladay Properties and leased to the city for the next 25 years. Mayor Andy Cook said the city will use funds collected from subleased building tenants to pay the annual rent, which starts at $1.97 million and escalates every five years. On Jan. 12, the Westfield City Council approved 10-year agreements to lease portions of the facility to Byrd Enterprises and Indiana Sports Properties. Combined, the tenants will pay more than $2 million annually. Deputy Mayor Todd Burtron said that amount includes $250,000 of profit, which will be used within Grand Park for maintenance and upkeep costs. Each agreement also includes revenuesharing plans between the city and the tenant. The 372,000-square-foot facility will house three full-size professional soccer fields that can be used for recreational play and competitive play for all field sports. The building will also have office space, locker rooms, meeting rooms and a restaurant focused on family dining. It will be built between Parking Lot C and 191st Street. The project was first announced at Grand Park’s opening on June 20, 2014.

Pence touts vo-tech training By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As Indiana Gov. Mike Pence travels the state, jobs is often a focal point of discussions. “Just as often I would find people JOBS that would say we can’t find people to fill the jobs that we have,” Pence said. “Experts will call it a skills gap.” Pence then learned how many high schools no longer have vocational training programs. Pence, a 1977 Columbus North High School graduate, recalled how he had many friends attend the vocational training at his school. “We walked through the same doors and cheer for same basketball team,” Pence said at the Hamilton County Leadership Academy luncheon on Jan. 22 at Carmel’s Oak Hill Mansion. “Some of them were my best friends and have now finished 30 years at Cummins Engine. Some like to remind me that if you add up their income and my income they’ve done significantly better than me.” So Pence encourages more schools to have vocational training prior to the Workforce Development panel at the luncheon. Beth Meguschar, assistant principal for curriculum and instruction at Noblesville High School, discussed what her school is already doing in that regard as a panel member. “Like a lot of Hamilton County schools, we’ve always done an excellent job preparing students for college,” Megushar said. “We are looking for

opportunities for our kids where they exist and where they don’t exist, we look for partners to help us build them.” A couple of years ago at CEO summit sponsored by the City of Noblesville, Meguschar said the school’s leadership team met with local business leaders. “That’s where we began to hear about the skills gap and some of the workplace needs in our community,” she said. “That was really eyeopening for us and it was nice to get outside of academia to hear the needs in our community and sort of rethink what kind of programming we had at our school.” Meguschar said the school launched its internship program about the same time.

Family timeline 1832

Carey family established itself in the Westfield area.

Danielle Carey Tolan carries on legacy as a fifth-generation farmer in Westfield and in public service as Washington Township Trustee

1834

Westfield was founded.

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Public service, farming and a love of Westfield are qualities passed down generation to generation in the Carey family. Walter Carey first moved his family to the area two years before Westfield was cover story founded and has a namesake for their original land – Carey Road. Now living on Six Points Road, various members of the Carey family continue the traditions started back in 1832. “We are fifth generation farmers in Westfield and still farm to this day,” Danielle Carey Tolan said. Carey Tolan is the most recent to continue the trend of public servants, which started with her great, great-grandfather as the first town assessor in Westfield and continued with at least one member of the family each generation. “I’m proud she wanted to keep the legacy going,” said Danielle’s father Jim Carey, who served 28 years on the township board and 22 years on the plan commission. Carey Tolan earned 11 varsity letters in volleyball, basketball, track and field and managing the wrestling team. She also is a member of the WHS Hall of Fame. “It shows her aggressive personality,” said Lynn Carey, Danielle’s mother. “Whenever we’d give her a project or task to do she would do it and beyond. It’s the way her personality is. She always goes 110 percent and she always will.” In November, Carey Tolan ran unopposed for the Washington Township Trustee seat, which was held by David Gill for 16 years. “It’s important for me to give back to the community because of where I came from,” she said. “I decided to run for township trustee over three and a half years ago. It was a long decision on how I could best serve my community and what’s out there for me to use my skills and passion. Plan commission was a step to be more involved. I wanted to find the next step.” Carey Tolan said the township cannot vote on a city election, but all the city and township can vote on township elections. “The township isn’t all annexed into the city,” she said. “I could not run for mayor or city council.” As trustee, Carey Tolan said the office is

1920s

After World War I Alva Carey (Danielle Carey Tolan’s great, great grandfather) was the first town assessor. He was paid $2 a day and hired a worker to farm his fields while he was away for $1 a day.

focused on poor relief, cemeteries and its parks system. “Only two other townships in Indiana have a parks system,” she said, adding programming is available for preschool, children and adults. “It gets very confusing for residents because we have three parks systems in Westfield.” Carey Tolan said the most important goal is to help those in need of necessary living items – assistance with their mortgage, rent, utilities or even food. “We help them in any way possible and direct them to other resources if we can’t,” she said. “People come to us from all walks of life because life happens … We don’t want people to get evicted or have their lights or heat turned off. We don’t want them out on the streets.” While it isn’t many, the trustee’s office deals with two or three homeless people a year. “We just try to get them back on their feet so they don’t have to come to us,” Carey Tolan said. The township also is responsible for the mowing and maintenance of Sugar Groove and Ballard cemeteries. Just weeks into her first four-year term, Carey Tolan said her goals are to create a township website and collaborating with the city, fire and schools. “I want us to work together to use our resources to be more efficient all around and in government we don’t work together enough,” she said. “I will help the community better understand what’s going on in the township and city. That’s not really the trustee’s role but I want to be a voice for the township because they don’t have one.” The Washington Township Trustee Office, 1549 E. Greyhound Pass, is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, call 574-9490.

Favorite food: Italian Something you might not know about her: She was born and raised in Westfield and Carey Road was named after her family. Quote: “Everything happens for a reason.” I say that a lot about life in general. God has a plan and everything happens for a reason and he knows of that plan. I think I say that once a week to my son.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

“Hello, sweetheart? Get me rewrite!” That headline is a throwback to the days of journalists actually phoning in stories. Here’s another quote: “It’s meant to be a resource, not a news source and we’ll be clarifying that in the days ahead.” Smooth move. That was Indiana Gov. Mike Pence in the aftermath of his shocking announcement last week that his administration would be creating a staterun news agency with your tax dollars. The question we immediately asked ourselves upon learning of his decisions was, “Pravda?” We were referring nearly half-jokingly to the political newspaper associated with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation; it was the official voice, if you will, of the ruling faction. So when Pence’s news was released, it set off shockwaves in every newsroom in the free world. So severe was the backlash that the governor who wouldn’t be president – yet – quickly backpedaled into the well more comfortable “source” mode as opposed to “news organization.” While we have to assume the initial thought was well intentioned, the mere thought that it could have debuted as a “state organ” was, well, disturbing at best. This is a man, who in 2005 was quoted as saying: “… as a conservative who believes in limited government, I believe the only check on government power in real time is a free and independent press.” So there you have it. We got a kick out of immediate trolls on social media, though, including one extremely clever post that pointed to Pence’s “news service budget” as featuring: “Pence has a commanding lead of the Republican race for president. In a new poll of everyone who works in his office …” and “Mike Pence used his superpowers today to push an impending blizzard to the northeast.” In truth, if his planned Just IN web portal becomes only a repository for state-generated news releases and not a platform for any of his or the administration’s interests, we’re good with that. This is why everything needs to be thought out before a decision is made, and that would include any voter’s time in the polling booth.

Powerful questions

Commentary by Terry Anker

We humans have been obsessed with power as long as there has been a recorded history. We consolidate it. We accumulate it. We use it to impose our will on others. And, if we are feeling a little more charitable, we use it to advance the common good. Whatever its purported use, we understand and manipulate it to our own ends. According to those who study such things, power is delivered it in two ways. The first and most fundamental form is Legitimate. It is derived from a specific legal or social authority. The police have Legitimate power to do certain things at certain times. They are authorized by our society to use lethal force to impose their will without consequence (assuming they follow their proscribed restrictions on the license). Employers, parents, teachers and scores of others have been imbued with this kind of power. The other, and I believe more important of the two forms, is Influence. It is the ability of a person or movement to urge an outcome. This

type supersedes the limitations on Legitimate power. Regulations and governments can be overthrown. New social orders can be established. All but the laws of physics (and human nature) are vulnerable to its pressure. Religious leaders, politicians, celebrities and a myriad of bloggers, gadflies and activists can claim access to Influence. If we have too little power, we often become isolated, depressed and even angry. If we have too much, we can become self-possessed, narcissistic and abusive. Isn’t the way we use the power under our control, whether too much or too little, the ultimate measure of who we are? Should we cause harm to others just because we can? Is it any better to hoard power rather than deploy it to some benefit? Can we steal the power of another? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q UO T E O F   T H E  W EEK The greatest weariness comes from work not done.

– Eric Hoffer

I used to work out regularly at a gym. I was a stay-at-home mom with four young children and a full-time nanny for my nephew. The Fishers YMCA provided two hours of daily free childcare plus an adults-only women’s locker room. ‘Nough said! Once my kids were in school and I returned to teaching, though, driving the 20-plus minutes for Turbo Kick just didn’t make sense. So I invested in a pair of decent running shoes and hit the roads. For the most part, I’ve done okay on my own. I miss the classes and the “destination” aspect of a gym, and my workouts are often horribly inconsistent, but until recently, I couldn’t justify the time or cost. I’ve registered for an April triathlon, which puts most of the training on days that are too cold/dark/icy to run/bike/swim unless you’re inside. And since my husband Doo already belongs to a fitness center, he could simply add me to his account. So after dance drop-off but before tae kwon do practice, I headed over for the first time, excited to try something new. That excitement ended two minutes after entering when my card triggered a warning message: “Not valid. Please see Client Services.” Apparently Doo had listed an incorrect automatic withdrawal number. Amidst a sleety drizzle, I was forced to return to my van to retrieve my Mastercard and dignity. Financial crisis averted and access finally granted, I immediately located a stationary bike, clearly more technically advanced than the Y’s 2005 recumbents. It took three dismounts to make the proper seat adjustments while my phone kept falling through the holder. Then I realized I hadn’t brought earbuds. This meant either watching a soundless collection of ’80s music videos or staring at my fellow exercisers. I opted for the latter. Boredom set in at minute four, the same time I began to sweat profusely. My display kept flashing, “Decrease resistance!” but I didn’t know how. None of the buttons or knobs seemed to help, and I grew increasingly frustrated and fatigued. Quads a-burning, I attempted a “Standing climb” position and nearly vaulted myself into a nearby treadmill. Luckily my feet were strapped in and I only managed a chest bump with the monitor. Miraculously, I survived another 20 minutes, of course locating the simulated gear shifts in the last 60 seconds of cool down. Finally, resistance decreased! Overall, not a wonderful hour. And yet, I’m kind of looking forward to the next visit. There is something about being surrounded by people who are making an effort. And honestly, I still enjoy a kid-free moment at the gym!

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I have been happily married for more than three decades. We had humor some difficult moments over the years, but right now we are better adjusted than we have ever been. Our toaster setting, for example, has been a source of some heated discussion. Mary Ellen sets the dial so low that we should call the device our Hamilton Beach warmer. She says my toast is too burnt, which is silly, but it’s hard to argue with her when I’m fanning our smoke alarm with a wet dishcloth. “Why can’t you put it back to the dark setting when you are done?” I asked. “You can darken light toast but you can’t lighten dark toast,” she said. I decided not to pursue this conversation, but like toast, the next morning another issue popped up… “Mary Ellen, why do you have our treadmill on such a high speed? I got on after you finished exercising, flipped the switch and it catapulted me backwards and into the basement wall. Can’t you turn the speed down when you are done?” “Yes, if you leave the wash cycle alone so I don’t ruin my blouses.” “I don’t want to wash my jeans on the super delicate cycle by accident. The guys at the club would have a field day with that. Why is it so

cold? Did you turn the thermostat down?” “Put on a sweater.” “I had it perfectly adjusted. I like the house to be 72 in the winter. Seventy degrees is too cold for me.” “Dick, you like 70 degrees in the summer, but not 70 degrees in the winter. Why would that be?” “I have no idea. But I know that all the folks reading this are nodding their heads.” Then during the news, we have this exchange: “Dick, IS THE TV LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU?” “I hear it just fine, thanks.” “I know you do, and so do the Wilsons next door.” Lately we have found a compromise on our juicer between the Smoothie and Whip setting (we’re frapping, now). We’ve settled on the same water temperature when we shower, as long as no one flushes the toilet. We need a new mattress, and in this case, I’m very sure we can purchase one that will be perfect for each of us. My wife’s had my number for years.

Westfield Playhouse’s new show, ‘Home Games,’ a grand slam

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Westfield Playhouse’s new show “Home Games” is a mix of romance, comedy and baseball. “It’s not a simple play; there is a lot of wording. The playwright, Tom Ziegler, plays are rich and very deep,” director Theater Cheryl Fesmire said. “I think it is a lovely little play.” Mertle Mae Tucker supports herself, her dad, a canary and a blind cat by working as a truck dispatcher. Her father, Anton “Tony” Tucker, was once a Yankee and spent the 1955 season on the bench and retired rather than be traded to Cleveland. Tony lives in a demented twilight zone, walking around in his uniform and talking to the audience as he would to Casey Stengel. When Mertle Mae takes a night school class, she meets and falls in love with a successful young executive. He loves Mertle Mae but is not so sure about taking on dear old dad. “The writing is fantastic. Every time I run through things at my house I find something new … something you realize was there all the time,” Mary K. Fischer said. Fischer plays Tony’s daughter, Mertle Mae Tucker. “I really like her,” she said. “She’s fun, she’s different, she has an opinion and she will let you know about it. She is not afraid to speak up and sometimes takes it too far. But she has a really big heart.” Like strikes to a batter, the cast is comprised of just three. “I’m really lucky,” Fesmire said. “I have three really strong actors. It’s fun to watch each of them.” Tom Corbett, who plays womanizer Frank Whitfield, said being his character was a challenge for him, “He is not at all like me,” he said. “Getting into the character is a struggle for me.” “Tom is a nice person but he has to be a jerk,” Fesmire said. “It’s a privilege and fun to watch him do that.” Rob Benge said he has never portrayed a character like Tony before. “He has a head injury and is stuck in 1955 in a Yankees dugout, but other than that he’s pretty much OK,” he said. “Everything has

something to do with baseball. Everyone he talks to is someone from baseball. If you can read between the lines, it’s almost like he knows what’s going on.” Through his monologues, Fesmire said it is clear that Tony is not just rambling. “It’s an interesting way of talking about it,” she said. “Tony has lots of monologues that break the fourth wall – the audience becomes fans of the World Series. Plays don’t often do that.”

“Home Games” by Tom Ziegler Where: Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. Ind. 32, Westfield When: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 6, 7, 13 and 14; and 2:30 p.m. Feb. 8 and 15. Cast: Rob Benge, Mary K. Fischer and Tom Corbett. The show is directed by Cheryl Fesmire. Cost: $12 and $10 for senior citizens Info/reservations: 896-2707 or www.westfieldplayhouse.org.

Braving the cold with kids Looking for a reason to venture out in the cold? The Indianapolis Museum of Art is beckoning! This year, the museum is hosting a Family Day each month as part of its newly unveiled ARTx programming. Family Days run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month, and include art activities, storytelling, and music. Each day has a distinct theme: Hip Hop U in March, and Museum Madness in April when the NCAA Final Four arrives. January’s kickoff drew 2,000 attendees. “Our approach is, how do we make cool programming for adults that’s also suitable for kids?” said Scott Stulen, Curator of Audience Experiences and Performance. “Too often, it’s the other way around.” Coming up on Feb 7, Family Day will have a Chinese New Year theme, featuring lantern designing, the Indianapolis Chinese Orchestra, and animated film The Monkey King. Admission is open to all,

and February’s event is free to attend. The museum also plays host to Cereal Cinema: classic family movies and a cereal buffet. The film series alternates between the IMA and the Athenaeum downtown, and will serve as the kick-off for March and May’s Family Days. The next showing is The Princess Bride at the Athenaeum on Feb. 7; tickets are available for $5 online. For ages 2-5, check out Winter Kids Koncerts at the Monon Community Center. These free events are held on the final Monday of each month from 10 to 11 a.m. Children enjoy singing and moving to the beat of family-friendly entertainers, and parents get to take in the experience along with them. January’s event drew in a combined 400 kids, parents and caretakers. Upcoming Koncerts will feature Island Breeze Duo on Feb. 23 and Kid Kazooey on March 30.

A guide to fireside dining - There is just something about a fire that screams romance. Maybe it’s the dim lighting creating an intimate atmosphere, or perhaps the warm glow bathing your skin as you gaze into the glimmering flames and enjoy a cozy dinner with that special someone. And, when it comes to setting the mood on Valentine’s Day (and every day) it could be the reason so many restaurants feature fireplaces.

Dancers perform in a Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre show, a black box style dance. (Submitted photo)

Get UNPLUGGED with dance theatre By Steven Aldrich • news@currentinwestfield.com Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will be putting on their black box style dance show, “UNPLUGGED,” each weekend performance this month. Hancock has created more than 130 works for his company since 1997, when he founded the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre. In this time he has put on such shows as “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” and “SUPERHERO.” Hancock has also been honored with numerous awards for his work, including Master Artist Fellowships from the Indiana Arts Commission, as well as being named Outstanding Choreographer at the prestigious Youth American Grand Prix in New York City. He has also traveled to countries, such as India, to study music and dance. Despite his numerous accolades and accomplishments in the field of music and dance,

Hancock remains very humble. He even said, “I prefer to talk about my amazing company more than myself.” This mindset has helped him to continue to grow his business and put on such acclaimed dance theatre performances. “UNPLUGGED” is presented in a very relaxed and personal atmosphere. It is designed for a smaller audience and audience members are able to enjoy refreshments along with the performance. “The experience of dance in a more intimate setting provides audience members with a fresh insight and appreciation of dance,” Hancock said. To purchase tickets visit https://www.ticketriver.com/event/11518. Tickets are $35. The show will be performed at 7 p.m. Feb. 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 and at 3 p.m. Feb. 8, 15 and 22. The show will be held at the Academy of GHDT, 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel.

Gallery Walk to have carriage rides By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com It’s not often that a second Saturday gallery walk falls on the exact date of Valentine’s Day. But this Feb. 14, families and couples art can stroll through the Carmel Arts & Design District to enjoy art galleries, romantic dinners and the biggest draw: horse and carriage rides. Two horse-drawn carriages will escort visitors around the district free of charge. Rides should last about 10 to 15 minutes from 6 to 9 p.m. Stephanie Marshall, special events coordinator for the district, said planners are working on a route and schedule so as many people can enjoy carriage rides as possible. In past years, she said the demand has been extremely high. “We have way more people than we have carriages,” she said. “So we are trying to maximize it.” Visitors can enjoy Valentine’s Day related artwork at a few galleries. At ArtSplash gallery, Nancy Keating, who works with glass mosaics, has created a heart-themed piece. At the Hoosier Salon, renowned Hoosier glass artist Lisa Pelo has created some glass roses that will be on display. Several art galleries will be handing out roses to visitors. There’s also a scavenger hunt through the district with prizes such as charm bracelets, a $50 gift card to Donatello’s and a romantic photo print of flowers from photo-artist Marie Reamer.

Glasswork by Lisa Pelo will also be on display. (Submitted photos) Artwork by Nancy Keating featuring the heart design will be on display at ArtSplash during the Feb. 14 Gallery Walk.

Marshall said she expects the nearby restaurants to be packed, with Valentine’s Day falling on a Saturday, so hopefully these fun events throughout the district will give couples something fun to do while they wait for a table.

Claghorn Custom Flooring

Looking to spend a special night with your special someone on Valentine’s Day this year? If so, the “Be My Valentine” event music sponsored and venued by The Warehouse is the perfect spot to fulfill you and your loved one’s fanciest and most magnificent Valentine dreams. The main event: a concert featuring two love-locked musicians, Blair Clark and Heather Ramsey Clark. The two musicians rarely get the opportunity to perform together, so this event is your moment to see them live. The husband-and-wife dynamic that the Clarks bring to the stage in a concert like this is a wonderful presentation that gives them, as a couple, the opportunity to celebrate the idea of Valentine’s Day doing what they love with whom they love. Often they perform and produce music separately in other parts of the country, so this chance to be reunited and share their struggles with the audience is one to cherish. In an interview with the couple, Blair said that he hopes “this special concert will spark even more duets in the future,” so that the two can share their “passions on stage” as well as with their fans. As far as what’s next in their productions, Ramsey Clark is working on a new project in Los

Development trending upwards

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

BY THE NUMBERS

Westfield is trending upward in a number of key economic development areas according to a year in review report delivered to the CITY city council on Jan. 26. Westfield Economic Development Director Matt Skelton said the year started off rocky when offices, storage rooms and files were damaged by water, but the department was “able to make lemonade out of lemons” as the water leak led to a project where building permits and plan commission files were scanned. “We can do work faster and more efficiently and it helps us better serve the public,” Skelton said. The project also led to the repaired file storage room to be converted to a collaborative meeting room. Some of the major achievements in 2014 include replacing 1977’s zoning ordinance, which Skelton said is “uniquely, user-friendly and interactive.” “It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before,” he said. The Grand Junction Implementation Plan and Spring Mill Station were other initiatives passed

• Skelton said there was a 200 percent increase in plan commission filings from 2013 (73 filings) to 2014 (146 filings). • There were 451 single-family permits in 2014 – an increase from 399 in 2013 and 300 in 2012. Westfield also had 366 single-family starts by October 2014, which equates to a 3.07 percent growth per capita. In comparison, Noblesville had 1.6 percent growth (323 single family starts), Fishers had 1.56 percent growth (458 starts) and Carmel had 0.75 percent growth (230 starts). • The value in vertical improvements is estimated at $176 million, an increase of $69 million from two years ago. • The six major areas of building permits are evenly spread out across the city and include Spring Orchard, Water’s Edge, Maple Knoll, Oak Manor, Viking Meadows and Bridgewater.

last year. “It (Spring Mill Station) is a major accomplishment for the department and community as a whole,” Skelton said. “The community came up with their vision and what they’d like to see in their neighborhood.”

DISPATCHES ALDI grand opening – The first ALDI store in Carmel, 14620 Greyhound Pass, will open to the public at 9 a.m. Feb. 5. The grand opening will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, product sampling and on-site sweepstakes, offering all attendees the chance to win free produce for one year. In addition, the first 100 customers will receive a Golden Ticket worth up to $100 in ALDI gift certificates. ALDI will continue product sampling throughout the weekend, sampling its exclusive brand wine, cheese and chocolate on Feb. 7.

Endurance House outreach coordinator – Sarah Speicher Snow has been hired as the Community Outreach Coordinator for the Endurance House. Snow will cultivate relationships with individuals, organizations and businesses that have a strong influence on health and wellness for the Central Indiana community. Snow previously worked as an occupational therapist and polytrauma clinical specialist at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. Snow graduated from The University of Findlay, earning a Bachelor of Science and Masters of Occupational Therapy. Google stock to improve – Google Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL) is one of the biggest names in tech but, unfortunately, Google stock has suffered for much of the past year. It is projected to improve in 2015. Here are seven reasons why: 1. Revenue continues to climb and investor expectations are more realistic. 2. The valuation is fair. 3. Cash and investments are huge – nearly $65 billion. 4. Recent acquisitions that will further integrate technology into the home, a growing trend. 5. Innovations such as Google Fiber, internet access to compete with Verizon and Comcast. 6. Dominance in the mobile market. Source: InvestorPlace.com

Animal proteins most closely mirror the types of proteins our bodies need, according to health guru Cory Black. (Submitted photo)

The power of protein

Commentary by Cory Black

Want a healthy metabolism? Desire healthier hair and smooth skin? Need stronger bones? Essential from everything from skin, food bones, muscle and the hormones and enzymes, protein really is the foundation of health and its role often gets a bit overlooked. Some of its key benefits are its support for a healthy metabolism for more efficient calorie burning throughout the day. We are made up of aminos and it is essential for rebuilding and restoring the body, from bone to muscle to our skin. We get benefits from protein whether we are trying to get stronger, slim down or just feel healthier. Our body doesn’t store the amino acids we get from protein and we need a fresh supply every day. This is a great example of how all calories are not equal, as a calorie of protein is not treated the same as a carb and fat storage. Protein as well takes longer to break down and digest and helps you feel fuller longer.

As part of a healthy diet, eat a serving of protein with every meal and two to three protein rich snacks through out the day from different sources. Animal proteins such as from eggs, grilled chicken, lean steak, and fish most closely mirror the types of protein our body needs. Nuts can be a good source for a snack, such as almonds, cashews, peanut butter and almond butter. Beans and legumes, lentils, black beans, chickpeas and pinto beans can help round out a meal. Greek yogurt and whey protein are healthy dairy sources. Protein as part of our nutrition made popular when it comes to the latest fad diet or protein shake system, but always has been a foundation of good health. Not just for a leaner you, protein is vital for a healthier you. Cory Black is the owner of PointBlank Nutrition in Carmel. He may be contacted at 569-5368 or cory@ pointblanknutrition.com.

When and how to fight germs

Commentary by Lisa Youngblood, MD

Can there be too much of a good thing when it comes to fighting germs? Antibacterial products like soaps, hand gels, wipes wellness and cleansers may not always be beneficial. In fact, studies show that exposing ourselves to germs keeps us from developing illnesses like asthma, allergies and other diseases. This is especially true for children early in life. Our bodies need exposure to germs to build up our immune systems. It’s also worth noting that the majority of bacteria and viruses we come in contact with daily won’t make us sick. So, what steps should we take to fight germs? There’s discussion about antibacterial soap and its effectiveness compared to regular soap. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has asked antibacterial soap manufacturers to prove their products are more effective than regular soaps. There’s also concern the ingredients in some antibacterial soaps may be unsafe. Until the issue is resolved, it’s fair to say that frequency of hand washing and thoroughness are more important than the products used. Proper hand washing consists of lathering up with soap and warm water and rubbing hands,

including wrists and between fingers, for 15 to 20 seconds. Encourage young children to wash hands thoroughly until they’ve finished singing “Happy Birthday.” It’s most important to wash hands before and after eating or food preparation, after using the bathroom and after handling pets or diapers. During cold and flu season, wash hands more frequently or use an alcohol-based hand gel if soap and water aren’t available. Other good germ-fighting practices include: • In the kitchen, use separate cutting boards for raw meat and produce. After preparing food, wash countertops, cutting boards and utensils with hot, soapy water. • Before food preparation, clean counters with disinfecting spray and paper towels or sanitizing wipes. • In the bathroom, clean and disinfect surfaces often–especially if a family member is ill. • Cover coughs and sneezes with a clean tissue or the inside of your arm to help prevent the spread of germs. Lisa Youngblood, MD, specializes in family medicine. She is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Northside Adult & Pediatrics, 11725 Illinois St., Suite 250, in Carmel. She can be reached by calling the office at 688.5300.

On the family name Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “I recently read a post on Facebook that pointed out the incorrect use of the apostrophe to pluralize a last name. Having married in to my last name, I have grammar guy used the apostrophe learned by the rest of the family. Not to believe everything I read on the Internet, I decided I would ask the grammar guy. Which is correct when signing my Christmas cards - The Watts’ or The Wattses? (I frequently use The Watts Family to avoid this dilemma)” – (Gail Watts, Fishers) Answer: Well, we didn’t get this cleared up in time for Christmas cards, I’m afraid, but we can at least make sure your Easter cards are correct. (Do people send Easter cards? Why don’t I get any?) There are only a few very specific circumstances in which you use an apostrophe to make a word plural, and names aren’t one of them. (If you’re interested in when you do use an apostrophe for this purpose, you can check out all of the old issues of Grammar Guy on the Current website.)

Now the question is whether your name needs a simple “s” or an “es” to become plural. If a name ends in “s,” “x,” “z,” “ch,” or “sh,” it needs an “es” to become plural. The Lopezes. The Marshes. The Wattses. All other names just get an “s.” Now, you might not like how “The Wattses” looks. Neither does Microsoft Word, which has given it an angry red squiggly line on my screen. Word is wrong – but your opinion is valid. The way to avoid a construction you don’t like is to do exactly what you did: turn your last name into an adjective, followed by “family.” The Watts Family is perfectly acceptable (still no apostrophe though!). Thank you for writing in, and hopefully that clears up your holiday card confusion. Keep sending in your questions to the Grammar Guy, and I’ll keep doing my best to answer them! Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@gmail.com.

Medina Azahara (Shining City) near Cordoba, Spain, was the most dazzling city in the entire world during its very short life. Ironically, its premature demise allowed its archiTravel tectural innovations to survive. In 929 A.D., Abd-ar-Rahman III declared himself Caliph of Cordoba. Seeking to demonstrate that he was equal to his title, in 936 Rahman began building a magnificent new palace city on a 300-acre site in the foothills of the Sierra Morena a few miles west of Cordoba. The architects took advantage of the hill-side by designing three terraces, the top reserved for the palace and the bottom for government workers. The middle terrace included a hall for receiving foreign ambassadors, covered with ivory and gold to impress the visitors. The hall also reportedly included a bowl of mercury the Caliph could jiggle to scatter reflected sunlight around the room. When completed in about 976, Medina Azahara incorporated more than 4,000 marble columns, some scavenged from as far away as Carthage. Most of the columns supported horseshoe arches, an architectural feature borrowed from the Visigoths but modified by alternating stones of different colors to call attention to the curved

shape. Some of the arched columns separated courtyards from surrounding areas, a novel idea at the time. Formal Islamic gardens, watered by an aqueduct from the mountains, bordered the most important buildings. A modified Roman aqueduct served as a sewer. At the end of the tenth century, when Cordoba was the intellectual center of Europe, no city in the world could match the splendor of Medina Azahara. In 1010, Berber forces battling for control of Cordoba destroyed Medina Azahara. The city was abandoned and many of the columns and arches were carried away and reused. Medina Azahara itself was soon buried and forgotten, but its architectural ideas, including the column-encircled courtyard and horseshoe arches, found their ways into buildings throughout southern Spain and eventually influenced the design of the Alhambra. Archaeologists who began excavating at Medina Azahara in 1911 have uncovered about 10 percent of the original city, including the palace and reception hall. The so-called “Versailles of the Middle Ages” is forgotten no more. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com.

Project: Whole-house renovation on Geist Reservoir

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

EXISTING HOME: The owners of this 30-yearold home, located in Feather Cove near Geist, purchased the home blueprint for exclusively for the improvement breathtaking views of Geist Reservoir. “From the moment we first drove up to the house, it had this intangible feeling that you get when you get a hug. It truly felt like home and we could see life taking place here. Looking past the existing cosmetics, we purchased the home with a vision of remodeling the entire home to create a cozy sanctuary for our family to enjoy for years to come.” THE KITCHEN: “The kitchen is the heart of the home and the heart of our family. The two walls separating the kitchen from the living and entertainment spaces took away the joy of cooking for guests.” To open up the kitchen, walls were removed and a support beam was installed to support the second floor. Although the footprint did not change, the new open layout allows for abundant storage and countertop space. The kitchen features two-toned cabinetry, eyecatching granite, an island for prep work and a separate island for seating. MASTER BATH: The original master bath had an over-sized garden tub, small shower and outdated closet system. To add privacy and create a fourth bedroom, the doorway leading into the

office was terminated. New walls were framed for the new closet and bedroom wall. The new bathroom features a luxury marble shower, a freestanding tub with a great view of the lake, his & hers vanities and a double sided fireplace. “All of the materials came together to create an elegant and romantic feeling to our master suite. It has everything we need to relax and unwind after a long day.”

RESULT: “There’s no way we could pick a favorite space in the whole house. The changes allow us to enjoy every space and facet of the home. Everything about the renovation makes us feel happy. We can’t wait to start the next chapter of our lives together in this home. ”
