Decision could void lawsuit

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Judge Paul Felix scheduled a March 11 bench trail date for the open-door lawsuit filed against Westfield’s proposed $25 million indoor school facility grand park at Grand Park.

Mayor Andy Cook and the city have denied accusations and in response filed a motion to dismiss, which was heard Feb. 17 in Hamilton County Court.

“Our lawyer says we adhered to every letter of the law,” Cook said.

At the Feb. 17 hearing, Westfield City Attorney Brian Zaiger argued that mayoral candidate Jeff Harpe did not file the lawsuit, as required by state law, within 30 days of knowing about the alleged violation. Harpe and his attorney, Tim Stoesz, filed the lawsuit Dec. 10 but Zaiger argued that the suit should have been filed by Nov. 27 since the Westfield City Council approved funding for the facility on Oct. 27.

Felix declined to dismiss the case but gave Zaiger until the end of last week make other legal arguments.

The court’s decision may be voided as the city council is in the process of approving a new ordinance which is almost identical to the one being contested by Harpe. That ordinance, which had a public hearing on Feb. 9, is the lone item on the council’s Feb. 23 meeting agenda. While the council has the opportunity to vote on the funding again, if it does table the motion the next scheduled meeting is March 9 – two days before the bench trial on the open-door lawsuit.

On Feb. 13, the Westfield City Council posted answers online to all of the questions asked during the Feb. 9 public hearing on the city website.

“City Councilors feel it is their duty to answer any concerns residents may have about the lease agreement between Holladay Properties and the city as well as the sub-lease agreements with Indiana Sports Properties and Jonathan Byrd’s,” stated Erin Murphy, city spokeswoman. “There are several million dollars in economic development projects contingent on the indoor facility being built, which will turn Grand Park into a year round facility.”

Waiting in the balance of a decision are hundreds of jobs in Westfield. Officials said Indiana Sports Properties plans to hire 30 employees with an annual payroll of $695,000. Jonathan Byrd’s intends to create 100 jobs with an annual payroll of $1.6 million.

If the council approves the funding (which it previously did by a 6-1 vote) or the city wins its legal case in court, construction on the facility may begin immediately.

As dangerous as cancer is, it can also be rather difficult to talk about. But Dan and his wife Beth are doing more than talking, they’re singing the praises of all those who helped. “I figure if we’re going to fight cancer, let’s get Community on our team,” declares Dan. And as Beth can attest, it was that team that she truly appreciates. She says, “What I liked about Community is that they had a navigator that helped us with all the tests and the terms we didn’t understand. It was comforting to have someone looking over our shoulders.” Of course successful outcomes don’t just happen, they take collaboration. Just ask Dan’s surgeon, Dr. Narayanan, who says, “Dan’s team and our team have given him every chance in the world to be around for a long time with his wife, his kids and his grandkids.” Choosing to beat cancer starts with choosing the right specialists. No one qualifies more than Community.

Couple finds love at Amazon

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com They may not offer it online but the Amazon fulfillment center in Whitestown has plenty of love within its building. Several profile spouses and couples in the area work together at the facility including Brian Miller and Shannon Alcala of Westfield.

Each began working at Amazon in 2012 after Alcala graduated from Indiana University-Bloomington and Miller from IUPUI. “We both worked on nights and had a project together,” Alcala said.

The couple said it was during a work outing with a group of managers when they connected.

“We talked a lot at work and out of work,” Miller said. “We started dating a month after that.”

“We told HR and Amazon has been so supportive. They really care about you professionally and personally,” Alcala said. “They’ve been extremely supportive of everything we’ve done.”

The couple dated for a year and a half and became engaged in May. They plan to be married Sept. 5 in Alcala’s hometown in Michigan.

“We’re thrilled,” she said. “The wedding planning is going great. We have everything planned but some last minute stuff.”

Alcala now works the day shift and Miller works the second shift at the center.

“We do get to spend time together outside of

Miller and Alcala said they are the third couple at the Whitestown center to date then become married that they know of since they started.

They said another couple started dating the same time as them and are married and another will be wed in May.

President’s CD Specials

Bulls partner with Chaucie’s Place news@currentinwestfield.com The Lids Indiana Bulls, the baseball affiliate at Grand Park, is taking a proactive approach to protecting the youth prevention involved in their programs.

They have partnered with Chaucie’s Place, a Hamilton County child advocacy organization, for an annual child sexual abuse prevention program for adults called Stewards of Children. The training program is now required for all the Lids Indiana Bulls volunteers and paid coaches and staff. Officials said the Bulls are the first sports organization to adopt the program organization-wise.

“Our ‘Bulls Tradition of Baseball Excellence’ has always come from developing the top amateur baseball talent in Indiana,” stated Mike Mundy, executive director of Lids Indiana Bulls. “But I’ve never been more proud to be a part of this organization as it evolves into formally – through policies and ongoing training – making certain the young men who are entrusted to us are as safe as possible both on and off the field.”

Stewards of Children is a child sexual abuse prevention program developed by the national organization Darkness to Light. This program educates adults to prevent, recognize and react appropriately to child sexual abuse. This training program is designed for parents and any adults who work with children or adolescents. Stew-

ards of Children is the only nationally available program scientifically proven to increase knowledge, improve attitudes and change child-protective behaviors. Chaucie’s Place is an authorized Stewards of Children facilitator.

“Coaches and sporting organizations can sometimes seem to have a singular focus on performance,” stated Toby Stark, Chaucie’s Place executive director. “By mandating child sexual abuse prevention training for all its coaches and staff, I believe the Bulls leadership has just raised the bar for all sports organizations across Indiana.”

Springmill Pet Wellness Clinic opened Jan. 22 at 224 W. 161st St., a second location for the group following its first office at 71st Street and Binford Blvd. in Indianapolis. Dr. Steve Nichols, the primary veterinarian at the new location along with partner Dr. Mike Graves, chose Westfield for its burgeoning growth and proximity to his own home.

“It’s an up-and-coming area with a lot of residential surrounding it,” said Corry Lampe, the veterinary technician running the new clinic, “(and) not a lot of choices for veterinary practices, so it is very convenient for a lot of people.”

The clinic provides traditional medical, surgical and dental care for cats and dogs such as wellness check-ups, vaccinations, spaying and neutering and routine surgeries.

But Nichols is one of few vets who also specializes in alternative therapies like acupuncture, aqua-therapy, oxygenation therapy, laser therapy, the use of Chinese herbs, vitamin supplements and more.

“Our veterinary team is proud to offer the best of conventional veterinary medicine and complementary and alternative therapies,” said Nichols, a Sheridan resident.

“We find that this integrated approach to veterinary care offers the best treatment options for pets and their owners, especially when pets are in pain from chronic illnesses.”

Owners with pets suffering from cancer, skin diseases, arthritis and other afflictions come to Nichols seeking therapies other than the traditional Western route that often prescribes medicines, radiation, chemotherapy and the like.

“Depending on what disease process the animal has going on, there are different alternative ways to treat them or to help them feel better,” Lampe said. “That is our goal, to prolong their life in a quality way.

You don’t find a lot of veterinarians that practice Eastern medicine, so it becomes a really nice niche that we offer to our clients.”

This was the parks department’s first 5k run held at Grand Park, which has 10 miles of paved trails.

Robber strikes twice in week

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For the second time in five days, police officers are investigating robberies to businesses on Main Street within four blocks of crime each other in Westfield.

At 10:16 a.m. Feb. 13, officers responded to a reported robbery at the 21st Amendment at 220 E. Main St. The clerk told police that a white male, approximately 6 feet tall, wearing a dark colored jacket and scarf covering his face entered the store and demanded money. After the clerk complied, the male left the store and fled on foot. Officials said a perimeter was created and a K9 track conducted, but the suspect was not located. For precautionary measures, nearby Westfield Washington Schools were placed on lockdown.

The incident is similar to one that occurred Feb. 8 and is under investigation.

Officials said a white man with a dark-colored jacket covering his face entered the Speedway gas station, 201 W. Main St., at 6:38 p.m. Feb. 8 and demanded cash from the store clerk. The clerk complied and the suspect ran off. Again, a perimeter was established and investigated with a K-9 unit but the suspect escaped.

Cpt. Charles E. Hollowell said the department is asking the public to report any suspicious persons or activities in general, but specifically

during these timeframes. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact the Westfield Police Dept. at 804-3200 or Crime Stoppers at 262-8477.

“All we can ask is for the public to stay vigilante,” he said. “Report anything suspicious as soon as possible if you notice something isn’t right.”

Hollowell said instances include someone hanging out in their cars or outside or someone using a back alley when then business has a front door on the opposite side.

“We’re not saying they (either business robbed) did anything wrong,” Hollowell said. “The second robbery was in the morning so lighting doesn’t matter.”

Westfield Middle School yearbook named Pacemaker Finalist

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For the past three years, the Westfield Middle School Yearbook has won a number of national awards and recogniachievement tions including being a Columbia Scholastic Press Association Gold Crown winner. The staff has another impressive title to add to its honors after the 2013-14 yearbook was recently named a Pacemaker Finalist by the National Scholastic Press Association.

“We have never won this one before but it has always been one of our main goals,” said Allie Staub, yearbook teacher.

Staub said the Crown and Pacemaker awards are the two highest honors a yearbook can receive for overall excellence.

“Depending on who you ask, typically the Pacemaker is a bit more difficult to win than the crown,” she said. “To win both honors in one year means that this book is really one of the best middle school books in the country … I already told last year’s staff and to say they are excited would be an understatement.”

The pacemaker winners will be announced at the JEA/NSPA Denver convention in April. Staub also will receive her Journalism Education Association’s Rising Stars as one of 11 teachers with five or fewer years of experience already establishing themselves in the field.

“I am probably a little more excited about this one than even my rising star award just because we have been trying to win it for the last three years and I think that having my students achieve their goals and achieve such great recognition means even more than my own,” she said.

Why did you become a teacher? I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. My inspiration came from three places in my life: my mother, who is still an amazing eighth-grade U.S. history teacher in Wisconsin, growing up attending and working at Camp Manito-wish, and taking an intro to teaching class in high school that worked with a special needs population.

What goals do you have for your students? The goals I have for my students are to leave the classroom as confident individuals.

I want them to look back at their sixth-grade year as a year where they see how much they grew both academically and emotionally. I want them to be curious about the world around them and enjoy becoming life-long learners.

Above all, my biggest goal is for them to be kind and spread it around.

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Being a Language Arts Glenn teacher, I encourage parents to read with their kids. You are never too old to be read to, and reading leads to great discussions.

Also, encourage self-advocacy skills. Helping their student understand it is okay to say, “I need help” will lead to great things and strengthen all skills.

What is your favorite movie? “Pitch Perfect.” It never gets old! I cannot wait for “Pitch Perfect II.” What is your favorite musician or band?

Pandora is always playing in my classroom as my students know – anything from Jack Johnson, to Bruno Mars, depends on the mood.

What’s something your students might not know about you? My two favorite memories from my time as a student are when I had a solo in seventh grade to “Build Me up Buttercup.” Although it went well, I cannot actually sing. The second, being my experience studying abroad in New Zealand.

COMMUNITY

Current in Westfield

NEW HOME? Known as the Estes House, the residence was built in 1861 for Lewis and Huldah Estes to serve as the principal’s house, and later the president’s home of what became Union Bible College. (Submitted photo)

Historic Estes House faces relocating or being demolished

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Estes House remains in Westfield 153 years after being built, but COVER STORY plans call for one of the city’s oldest buildings to be moved or it faces being knocked down.

For the past year, Westfield Parks Director Melody Jones has worked with Union Bible College to preserve the building.

“It has to be a community project,” Jones said.

“We’ve got to get it moved to get it saved, or it will be demolished. This is a way for us to save it.”

Jones said the plan is to raise the funds necessary to move the house six blocks north on Union Street to Hickory Alley, across from the entrance to Asa Bales Park. The move was estimated to cost $130,000 to $180,000.

“There are other historical sites predominate in the immediate area,” Jones said. “The Indiana Landmarks said it would be on the registry once it’s been moved.”

Jones said that historic structures are not common downtown because the area was wooden buildings.

“We only have a few that we can preserve,” she said. “This is one of the oldest structures still intact. It’s so symbolic of who we are and what we stand for.”

Since announcing plans to start a capital campaign, Jones has hit an impasse that puts the

project – and house – in jeopardy.

“I am sorry to say that all my efforts to move the community project forward regarding relocating the Estes House has come to an unsurpassable end,” she said.

Jones said the only viable route to move the Estes House to North Union Street requires crossing a portion of the Westfield Friends Church parking lot. Officials said that space was no more than eight feet. Jones stated she was previously told no and suggested to look into another route.

“Unfortunately there is no other route to take,” she said.

Jones said she tried to reconnect with the church, wrote a letter to the church’s board of trustees and followed up with a phone call when she didn’t hear back.

“I never heard back from them,” she said. “So as a result, it is finished.”

Attempts to reach Westfield Friends Church were not returned.

History As the American Civil War was beginning in 1861, the first of seven generations of the Estes family began calling the City of Westfield home.

One of the most important pieces of that family’s history can still be seen today, on the campus of Union Bible College.

Born into a Quaker family in Maine in 1815, Lewis Alden Estes hailed as a direct descendant of John and Priscilla Alden, Mayflower Pilgrims.

After graduating from Bowdoin College, he became the first principal and teacher at the Friends Boarding School, now Earlham College.

It was here he met his future wife, Huldah Case Hoag. They were wed on Feb. 4, 1848 at the Whitewater Friends Monthly Meeting, and became parents of sons, Ludovic and Rowland.

In 1861, the Estes family came to Westfield where Lewis had accepted a job as principal of Union High. The family occupied a home built that same year, which would serve as the principal’s house, and later the president’s home of what became Union Bible College.

“The land all around the school campus was their farm Huldah Estes and they built the home. From Roosevelt Street to South Street was their farm,” said Judy Shuck, Westfield resident and great-great granddaughter of Lewis and Huldah Estes.

“Under their leadership, the school first developed into Lewis Estes a boarding institution with students coming not only from Indiana but also from other states.”

The Estes’ left Union High five years later, when Lewis became the first president of Wilmington College in Ohio. In 1874 the family returned to farm life in Westfield after Huldah became ill.

Once back in Westfield, Lewis went into business with Abel Doan, becoming the first president of the Westfield Bank.

Shuck said she would like to see Union Bible College preserve the building, repurpose it and keep it as part of the Westfield landscape.

“We need to preserve history and historic buildings. We can look at them and see the stories come to life,” she said. “If you don’t know where you came from, you won’t know where you are going. We all have roots … Let’s look at the whole picture, the landscape of what’s been Westfield for all these years. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.” *Zach Burton assisted with gathering historical information for this article.

Know more Built in a Greek Revival tradition, the home sits near the intersection of College Avenue and South Union Street. It is one-and-a-half stories, with gabled roofing and wood bargeboard lining the eaves. Two additions to the home have been made during its lifetime. An addition at the northeast corner is now used as a bookstore for the school. Evidence of a porch, long since removed, at the north end of the building exists.

Currently, the home is used for storage and has been vacant for several years. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with the campus of Union Bible College.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Howard Dean, the would-be comedian?

The 2016 presidential race is heating up, and we got a real charge out of the latest shenanigans, this one compliments of Howard Dean, the former failed Democratic presidential candidate and former Vermont governor. Sensing that Scott Walker, the Republican governor of Wisconsin, is gaining steam on his march toward the party’s nomination, Dean took a shot at Walker for not having a college degree.

“The issue is, How well educated is this guy?”

Dean asked. “I worry about people being president of the United States not knowing about the world and not knowing much about science.” Well, then, this borders on hilarity. We’re assuming Dean is just parroting the party line in trashing Walker. What would you expect from the party of elitists? We find it interesting that we never heard Dean worry, back in 2008, that his party’s nominee, Barack Obama, was nothing more than a community organizer and very junior senator. Did Dean believe Obama had learned everything he needed to know about the world from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright? At least Obama has a degree from Harvard, and we’ve seen how that has worked out. Speaking of Harvard, we wonder if Dean ever questioned Teddy Kennedy’s Harvard degree. You just have to love Teddy. Back in 1951, he was forced to withdraw from Harvard for cheating on his Spanish final. He was allowed back in – the check cleared – and eventually earned his degree. Another round, Teddy?

“Si, mis amigos. Mucho gusto!” Unfortunately, we’re starting to see what direction this election season is taking, and it’s not going to be pretty. Walker is an accomplished governor, in our opinion, and if he stays the course – in other words, he doesn’t turn into the typical wimp Republican – he could be a formidable challenger. Let’s concentrate on what all the candidates have actually accomplished. Sorry, Hillary.

Adult supervision

Commentary by Terry Anker

As a kid, tornados never seemed that scary.

The wind would blow, sure; but other than picking up the limbs that would be strewn across the lawn the next day, there seemed to be little impact. I grew up safe in the knowledge that if something bad was going to happen, that someone, an adult, would let me know. I think most of us did. But on a rainy day in April of 1974, I was forced to put this supposition to the test.

Mom was making preparations for a ladies club party that she was hosting in our home that night. And, I’d just finished my homework and was watching a little television before being banished to my bedroom when the grown-ups came over. The unremarkable evening, like many scores of others, spun around us with little note of it.

My Dad came home from the fields a bit early.

It had been raining off and on all day. Such is spring in the Hoosier state. But as his pickup

parked on the gravel in front of the house, he didn’t come in immediately as was his custom.

Instead, I noticed him peering at the sky from the front porch. Distracted by the TV, I didn’t immediately notice him come in the house – although the door was inches away. He was applying all of his considerable strength to close the door. His shouts were barely audible over the din. In an instant I was scooped up and delivered to safety. The next time I was in that room, it was gone.

Yes, tornados are scary and do kill people. But the adults in my life were vigilant, and ready to sacrifice. We, even the dog, survived and built back the house. Today, it makes me wonder are we ready for the wind to blow?

Q U O T E O F T H E W EEK Don’t tiptoe through life just so you can arrive at death safely.

– Tony Campolo

Here’s a throwback column in celebration of my upcoming eighth anniversary at Current.

Hi, and welcome to Department of Kids and Recreation official Mini-Van Tour. My name is Danielle.

“Excuse me, Danielle what’s that odor . . . ?”

I tell you what, let’s hold all questions ‘til the end of the tour.

“But, it’s like the zoo . . . “ Thank you. Now this mini-van was established in the year 1998 under the direction of Chrysler- Motors. It can easily hold a doublewide stroller, four Size 3 soccer balls, and seven gallons of milk. Purchased in 2001, it had no dents or scratches, no stains or holes in the fabric, and gave off a fresh pine sent.

All air vents were coin-free and the cassette player worked properly at that time.

Before we enter the van, I’d like to point out a few interesting spots on the exterior, beginning with this sine wave-like mark along the entire left-side. That’s no custom detailing! This unique decoration came about after a rather close encounter with a mailbox two months into ownership. Now on the right, you’ll notice a more subtle scratch, though no less handsome. This beauty was the result of poor navigation by a seemingly sober woman who was helping the actual sober driver back out of a bar parking lot at 2 a.m. after a bachelorette party. I call these “accoutrements.”

“Danielle, what’s that white scratch that looks like you hit a house?”

For the last time, please hold all questions until the end. As I manually slide open the two side-doors (you may want to put those gas masks on now) please note how this seat belt has become entangled with the locking mechanism. That’s a new feature, folks!

Under the back bench, take notice of the large pile of wrappers, discarded Kleenex, McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, and yes, it’s your lucky day, people, an honest-to-God sippy cup from 2006. Probably a nice sharp cheddar in there by now. Do I hear someone’s stomach growling? Ha-HA! In between the two front seats, you’ll see the typical collection of water bottles, pacifiers and reject Yu-Gi-Oh cards. But if you’ll peer just to the right, you’ll be in for a real treat. Anyone “hazard” a guess?

“A moldy waffle?”

“A mutilated Barbie?”

Both reasonable answers, but no. That, my friends, is an actual corn dog from the 2003 State Fair. Ah, the memories. They grow up so fast, don’t they? But I digress . . .

At this time, I’d like to conclude our tour.

Y’all have been one of the greatest groups I’ve ever worked with, really. Peace out!

New stadium to unite Indiana

2867 Old Vines Drive Westfield, IN 46074

Editors, Attending a professional sporting event is an unforgettable experience. For most people, it is the only time they enthusiastically high-five complete strangers. As you can imagine for fans, the proposed “Stadium for Indiana” is certainly more than just building some walls, stands and a field for our Indy Eleven professional soccer team. It is about creating a transformational experience that ignites passion in all people of various ages in our community, city and state.

For the more than 60,000 members who make up the Indiana soccer family, and who play for one of the 140 member clubs or in one of the several Indiana adult leagues, attending an Indy Eleven game or a Men’s or Women’s National Team at the new stadium, will inspire dreams.

While the stadium will be a showcase home for Indy Eleven and other soccer events — including a potential professional women’s team — it will be a multipurpose stadium hosting entertainment and other sports at the professional, collegiate, high school and youth levels.

The proposed stadium would be more than

just an investment in our youths and attraction for our adults — it would boost Indiana’s economy.

For Indianapolis, the city is bolstering its position as the capital for sports in the U.S. We’ve come a long way since laying the foundation for the Hoosier Dome. Ersal Ozdemir, the owner of Indy Eleven, is building upon a vision with soccer fans in mind.

If soccer isn’t your thing; if you never attend a match; you’ll never have to pay a dime toward the stadium’s construction. If you don’t go, you won’t pay. The cost for building the stadium at $82 million will be paid for only by those who attend events at the stadium.

I encourage everyone to contact their legislator so lawmakers at the Statehouse realize this stadium is an investment in more than just the Indy Eleven team or soccer. Instead, this is an investment in ensuring a strong future by improving the quality of life for Hoosiers across Indiana.

Carmel resident set to reshape Indianapolis Opera

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Tony Award-winning ‘Art’ opens Feb. 26

By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestifeld.com

As he prepares his swan song to the stage-directing part of his theater career, Ken Klingenmeier relishes the opportunity to present Yasmina Reza’s play “Art” for a second time — for a different company but on the same theater stage as in 2008.

This time he will emphasize the Tony Award-winning show’s serious side, though its comic aspects are never far from the surface. As the French playwright said about her work in 2000, “Art” is a tragedy “because it is a break-up of a friendship, a rupture between people… My plays have always been described as comedy, but I think they’re tragedy. They are funny tragedy, but they are tragedy. Maybe it’s a new genre.”

“It’s a play about friendship, not art,” Klingenmeier explained. “And the way she details it, it’s effective storytelling.”

Both funny and sad, “Art” is a fine candidate for “talkbacks” after every performance, the director has found. He has arranged for those with the new production because they worked so well in 2008, he says. The conversations naturally settle on what makes someone your friend. There’s less focus on what makes something art, because Reza is mainly concerned to explore the nature of friendship, using art as a vehicle.

Klingenmeier has two-thirds of the cast he worked with in 2008: Daniel Shock returns as Serge, a man who pays a lot for a white-on-white painting he’s quite fond of, and Larry Adams as Marc, his friend, who is deeply skeptical of the purchase, putting a strain on the friendship. The newcomer is Clay Mabbitt as Yvan, a fun-to-be-with, eager-to-please friend of Serge’s who is drawn into the conflict.

Carmel Theatre Company is in its second season at the 70-seat Studio 15 in Carmel’s Arts and Design District. In that location, the troupe succeeds Carmel Repertory Theatre, which has disbanded.

A retired postal worker long active in community theater, Klingenmeier has a stage background stemming from his

college years in California. He is no stranger to professional theater, but when he wanted to focus on his family years ago, he took 13 years off from the stage. Normally, one directing assignment and one acting gig annually worked best for him when he held a job as a letter carrier in Noblesville.

His first stage appearance after moving to the Indianapolis area came with “Shadowlands” at the Edyvean Repertory Theatre (now defunct) about 20 years ago. His local directing involvement began in 1997, directing “Butterflies Are Free” in Westfield.

When he turned 65 a year ago, “I decided to stop striving,” he said. He wanted to step aside from having the same kind of intensity he was used to summoning as an actor, so discontinued working with an agent. Along the way, he prepared to stop directing as well.

“I’m rounding off this part of my life,” he said in an interview. “Directing is a heavy load,” often increased in community theater by several other responsibilities a production’s director needs to take on. Klingenmeier has designed and built sets, for example, and for “Art” designed the poster and is handling publicity.

He is remaining active in performing arts by shifting his skills to directing, producing and writing videos for the Indiana University Dental School. The continuing series focuses on ethical dilemmas in dentistry, and his schedule includes seven more before the series is complete.

This has given Klingenmeier stimulating work he can sink his teeth into, so to speak. But the siren call of live theater may still attract him, he concedes.

“I will be acting more in the future if I read a play that grabs me,” he promised.

What: Carmel Theatre Company production of “Art,” by Yasmina Reza.

When: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, 2:30 p.m. Sundays; Feb. 26-March 15.

Where: Studio 15, 15 First Ave. NE, Carmel.

Tickets: (317) 688-8876; www.carmeltheatrecompany.com.

Although the Indianapolis Opera has been shut down for nearly a year, Kevin Patterson is optimistic about the organization’s future.

The Carmel resident was named the general director of the Indianapolis Opera leadership earlier this month.

“The unique opportunity for Indianapolis Opera is it is essentially starting with a clean slate,” Patterson said. “That gives the company the opportunity to do a lot of things that other opera companies and arts organizations aren’t able to do.”

Kevin Indianapolis Opera shut down for the 2014-15 season with the last performance in March 2014.

“It’s been dark while it been assessing its future,” Patterson said.

“Unlike many arts companies, Indianapolis Opera has no debt and has working capital in the bank for programming in the future. We have a strong base of loyal donors and we are thankful for our foundation funders for hanging with us during this time.”

Patterson, who grew up in Indianapolis, had been the executive director of the Anchorage Opera before leaving that post on July 30 to return with his wife and daughter to Indianapolis area to work as a consultant for non-profit groups. Patterson wanted to return to be closer to relatives.

“When you move to Alaska, people say that’s wonderful we’ll visit you,” said the 46-year-old Patterson, a graduate of Warren Central High School and the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. “In reality no one ever does. It’s like flying to Europe.”

Patterson also has been the general director of the Austin (Texas) Lyric Opera.

Patterson said many of the non-profit art organizations he had been consulting with have severe problems.

“They’re still producing but the business model is just crushing them,” Patterson said. “They have to figure how to get out of the business model without alienating their audiences with something that is radically different.”

Patterson said Indianapolis Opera has the ability to re-work the model in a way that works well for audience and the company. Patterson said shutting down was the best decision the Indianapolis Opera could have made.

“More companies would benefit from stopping and say hold on a minute rather than hurdling forward,” Patterson said. “What gets a lot of art organizations in trouble is they feel beholden to putting on the next season. They get on a train that doesn’t have any brakes and they feel they have to keep going.

“Thanks to the generosity of the Lilly Endowment, a donor base and some successful fundraisers, we were able to stop and say what is our future and what do we want it to be. It is going to pay some pretty significant dividends as we move forward over the next 12 to 18 months.”

Patterson said there will be programming in 2015 and hopes to announce calendar dates and announcements in March. Patterson said the challenge is build new audiences.

The performance and production side shut down, but Patterson said many on the administrative side kept working.

“People who come Indianapolis Opera are going to see performances in new venues,” Patterson said. “They’re going to see new operas they’ve not seen before. They are going to see new performers and directors they’ve not seen before. As opposed to having a traditional season that starts in November and ends in April, we’re going to focus on year-round programming.”

Balance omegas for a healthier you Commentary by Cory Black Omega fatty acids are essential for our health and support everything from healthy joints to brain function and a happy nutrition mood. Both Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s are considered essential and must be obtained from our diets, as our bodies cannot produce them.

Besides supporting smooth skin and healthy joints, Omega 3’s are especially important for heart health and fighting heart disease. They even have the benefit of cancer prevention, such as breast cancer, as they moderate inflammation and inflammation and cancer have been found to go hand in hand.

But did you know that with too many Omega 6 fatty acids we start canceling out the benefit of Omega 3’s? A healthy ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 is around 4 to 1, but our western diets are often in the range of 20 or even 30 to 1. What are some of the reasons many of our diets are skewed?

One reason is the abundant use of corn in

feed for beef and poultry. Unfortunately, what the cow eats is what it passes on and corn has omega ratios as high as 50 to 1. Our diets often include fried and processed food that uses corn oil, safflower oil, non-trans fat margarines. All of these sources raise the ratio of Omega 6’s in our diet and should be limited.

It’s why it’s worth it to switch to grass fed meats, where the livestock gets a more natural food source.

Incorporate more cold water fish such as salmon, which has almost a perfect balance of essential fatty acids.

Make sure we have a daily source of essential fatty acids, which we can get in high amounts from cold water fish or a fish oil supplement. But make sure your diet is not canceling out all of the great benefits.

When to take aspirin – You probably know about aspirin for heart health. What you might not know is that taking aspirin at bedtime is better than taking it in the morning. Nighttime aspirin consumption significantly reduces blood platelet activity in the morning, which is the prime time for heart attacks and strokes.

Sage – headache and congestion relief Source: Naturalon.com

Onions for healthy hair – Onions are a good way to boost hair growth because they contain sulfur, which increases blood circulation to the scalp. Put one or two onions in your food processor or juicer. Apply the juice to dry hair and rub into the scalp. Put on a shower cap and wait 30 minutes, then wash your hair. Do this three times per week and you should see results within six to eight weeks. Source: Naturalon.com Cholesterol not so bad – Go ahead and eat that fried egg.

Fieldhouse plans become clearer

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

On Sept. 23, a group of local investors announced their idea for Grand Park Fieldhouse, an indoor facility for basketball and volleyball worth an estimated $6 million. Since Grand park then the plans have changed and the private project has grown.

Westfield Associate Planner Andrew Murray said the proposed building is eight acres and 86,930 square feet. It will consist of eight full-sized basketball courts – six will be used fulltime for basketball and two will be transitional courts where a turf field may be added. The project will be fully funded privately but the developers have asked for a trail connection to Grand Park.

The group developing Grand Park Fieldhouse includes entrepreneur Andy Card and other local investors. Card previously said the idea started almost a year and a half ago after a basketball game on a napkin at a Mexican restaurant.

“I was sitting there, talking about doing this and Clint Cushman from Henke Group said, ‘I’ve got a guy that I’m telling you this was meant to be, you and I had dinner.’ So we continued to ignore the other 12 people at the table for the next two hours drawing on the tablecloth and napkins and he’s texting people. Ever since then it’s just gained a lot of momentum,” he said.

The fieldhouse will be east of Grand Park Parking Lot G. The developers said it was brought up by a third party to have a sports rehabilitation facility onsite. The building also will include locker rooms, offices and possibly a café.

“Our intention is to make it the cutting edge indoor basketball, volleyball facility in the Midwest to go along with the Westfield Sports Complex here, which is known nationally for its quality,” Card said. “Putting this fieldhouse here in Westfield is going to get some young men and women I believe opportunities they may not

‘Should like’ or ‘would like’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “I enjoy your column very much in Current in Carmel. Is it ungrammatical to use the word ‘would’ in the grammar guy phrase, ‘I would like to…?’

Everyone says that but I have been told that such is redundant; rather, one should use ‘should’ instead of ‘would’ in the phrase if you include ‘like.’” – (Clyde Crockett, Carmel) Answer: That’s an interesting question, Clyde.

It’s got a very Tolkien-esque sound to it, does it not?

In the wake of the Brian Williams scandal, I should perhaps come clean right off the bat and say the Tolkien association comes from searching “I should like” and finding nothing but “Fellowship of the Ring” quotes for pages. You’ll recognize Bilbo Baggins’ famous farewell speech: “I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”

Anyway, I digress.

Tolkien was an Oxford man through and through, so it seems only right I look to the Oxford English Dictionary for some clarification on

this one. Unfortunately, it’s of two minds.

Acknowledging confusion of the very sort you’re asking about, Oxford says this: “The traditional rule is that ‘should’ is used with first person pronouns (I and we) and ‘would’ is used with second and third persons (you, he, she, it, they).

That would all be nice and tidy, except even Oxford admits no one adheres to that anymore.

The Oxford Learner’s Dictionary has this to say on the matter: “In modern English, the traditional difference between ‘should’ and ‘would’ in reported sentences, conditions, requests, etc. has disappeared and ‘should’ is not used very much at all.”

My feeling is the same as yours – everyone says “I would like...” these days. Save your “should likes” for Hobbit holes and heated arguments about which Beatles album is the best.

(It’s the White Album – and don’t even bother arguing that it’s “Sgt. Pepper’s.” I won’t hear of it.)

Scrunch up a piece of newspaper, dip it in the mixture shake off the excess, and wipe the mirror with the moistened newspaper. Then buff the mirror dry with a soft cloth, paper towel or dry newspaper. HouseholdMagicDailyTips.com To prevent onion breath – Eat side dishes rich in parsley, mustard seeds or fennel, which can dilute the sulfur by-products in onions. After eating onions, chew sugarless gum—especially strawberry flavor, which raises saliva production more than other flavors. Saliva helps dilute the sulfur-containing compounds. - HouseholdMagicDailyTips.com To brighten whites – Fill a sink with warm water, and add one-quarter cup of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent.

St. George: origins of an icon Commentary by Don Knebel

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. It’s an engaging novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying, “Finally, a horror story void of vampires, werewolves, or zombies!”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Available in paperback at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

A

The Cappadocia region of central Turkey, home to Christian communities since the second century, includes dozens of churches travel carved inside the area’s unique volcanic rock formations. An eleventh century fresco in one church honored St. George, a favorite son, and originated an iconic image seen in churches around the world.

St. George was apparently born in about 275 A.D. in Lydda, Palestine, where his Cappadocian father had met his mother while serving in the Roman army. George, raised a Christian, became an officer in the military guard of Emperor Diocletian. In 303, Diocletian ordered his officers to repudiate Christianity or face death. When George refused to renounce his beliefs, he was tortured and then beheaded. Emperor Constantine, who legalized Christianity in 312, reportedly ordered a church built in Lydda to honor George, who became a saint in 494. Over time, St. George became associated with a medieval legend in which a maiden-devouring dragon terrorized a pagan village. As the story went, George slew the dragon and the grateful villagers all converted to Christianity.

In the 11th century, numerous Byzantine churches were built within the soft, cone-shaped rocks of Cappadocia. Frescoes, still colorful because of the absence of direct sunlight, decorated many of them. One fresco on a curved wall in the so-called

Eleventh century Cappadocian fresco of St. George. (Photo by Don Knebel)

“Snake Church” (Yılanlı Kilise) honors St. George, whose father was raised nearby. The fresco portrays a haloed and armored George, sitting astride a festooned white horse and gouging a snakelike dragon with his lance. St. George is accompanied in the fresco, perhaps the earliest illustration of the legend, by St. Theodore of Amasea, a less well-known Christian martyr also associated with dragon slaying. Crusaders passing through Cappadocia took the story of St. George and the dragon back to Europe, with the dragon often assumed to represent Satan.

The image in Cappadocia’s Snake Church of a

battle-bedecked St. George, atop a white horse and killing a dragon with a lance, inspired countless imitations and became a familiar icon in Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches.

The Göreme Open Air Museum, which includes the Snake Church, became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984.

LifeGuard Carpeting means heavy amounts of liquid are unable to soak through. (Submitted photo)

Shaw LifeGuard carpeting stain-proof Commentary by David Decker So, you’ve decided to renovate your home and install some new carpeting. There’s a lot to consider in terms of construction, indoors material and functionality. Where should you begin? Well, one of the biggest drawbacks of carpeting is the fact that stains and spills can cause permanent damage to the carpet or to the cushion underneath.

So, if you’re currently sharing a home with pets, children or housemates that are accident prone, a stain-proof carpet option may be worth a look.

Stain-proof carpet is specially made carpet that repels dirt, liquids and other messes (including pet accidents). Generally, this is achieved by treating the carpet with some kind of topical chemical coating. At the Affordable Companies, we are always on the lookout for standout products to spotlight and recommend to our clients.

Recently, Shaw Floors have debuted a new stainproof carpet called LifeGuard, which features an innovative liquid-blocking design. Many stainproof carpets come with a chemical coating that protects the fibers of the carpet from liquids, dirt and other spills. However, those liquids and spills can quickly soak through the carpet where they find a permanent home in the carpet cushion.

Carpets treated with Shaw’s LifeGuard system have a built-in barrier that also shields the back-

Somerset’s savvy professionals approach tax planning and preparation as an opportunity. We take the time to get to know you and your business and develop a personalized plan that meets your unique needs.

ing or cushion as well.

With LifeGuard, even heavy amounts of liquid are unable to soak through and cause damage to your padding or subfloor. This means you will not have to worry about unwanted odors from mildew or pet accidents permeating through your carpeting. And the added layer of protection in the backing means that it will not wear down like carpets only treated topically.

Installing the new carpet is a fairly simple process, because the carpet is more flexible than other models. This makes it easier to manipulate, stretch, trim and slide into place. Additionally, cold temperatures will not affect the installation process, which is good news during these chilly winter days.

Replacing your flooring is a savvy way to add value to your home, especially when you select a durable option like stain-proof carpeting. See for yourself. Visit youtu.be/PQJ9RBOI_gM to see a video of the LifeGuard carpeting in action. Products will be hitting stores soon.
