Park entering design-development stage
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
David Rubin envisions Grand Junction Park as a place where people will want to connect and gather year-round. Rubin, a principal grand junction and designer for Land Collective, a Philadelphiabased landscape architecture and urban design group, gave an update on Westfield’s Grand Junction Park, a 10.5-acre park, at the Westfield Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon at The Bridgewater Club on Feb. 26. There will be four pavilions, a new riparian quarter (the ecological condition along the stream quarter) and a plaza for the Rubin project, which is south of Jersey Street and between Mill and South Union streets. It is designed to be the focal point of Westfield’s downtown. The plan calls for retail, restaurants, office space and residences. Grand Junction will be a connecting point for Anna Kendall and Midland Trace Trails. Rubin said the design is for the plaza to be in use 365 days of the year. “In the wintertime, it’s an ice rink and festival place,” Rubin said. “In the summer, it’s for market and other folks to gather. There is a stage and is the prospect of a restaurant and Trailhead Pavilion.” Rubin said the plan for the restaurant is a beer pub type of environment with tables inside and outside. There are also plans for an amphitheater and Great Lawn gathering place. Rubin said the park is now entering the design development stage, which will take about four months. It then goes into construction documents once approved by the city. “It all centers around gathering this newly refurbished riparian quarter,” Rubin said. “We designed it with the idea of where vehicles can go and can’t go, where pedestrians go and where cyclists go.” Rubin said they have designed very specific places for people to gather, including the plaza and the meadow. “We’ve decided the prospect of overlooks because seeing and being seen is a human condition,”

he said. “It’s very important to be seen and to see what is happening. It is made of a whole bunch of elements that come together in a composition.” Rubin said the concept is that all day there will be something taking place in Grand Junction Park. “Every week and month, it will change,” Rubin said. “Seasonably, it will be different. There will always be a reason to come back, not only to engage with your fellow citizens but to see what has changed as a result of that seasonality.” The Cafe Pavilion will be a place where people can rent skates and can have small civic gatherings for groups. “I would encourage those to start coming to the meetings about the park because it’s about you, it’s about your kids, your grandkids, your grand nieces and nephews,” Rubin said. “It’s incredibly important to have a voice in this.” There are donor opportunities and businesses might want to be represented in the park, Rubin said.

Parks host black tie with a twist By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Billed as “A black tie event where everyone will be in jeans,” the inaugural Clip It benefiting the Friends of Hamilton County diversion Parks will challenge, engage and entertain its guests unlike any traditional fundraiser at 6 p.m. March 20 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel. “It’s a really cool fundraising effort like no other,” HCPR Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls. Nicholls said the event will include the conventional black tie affair standards of drinks, Nicholls fine dining, live and silent auctions, live music from Rodney Stepp and dancing. “If you come in your Gucci black tie or your Ralph Lauren dress you’re going to be less inclined to climb up that rock wall,” he said. “I think the vast majority of people will be dressed accordingly and that would be everything from jeans to khakis and trail boots … If people feel more comfortable to be in formal attire, then by all means they should come dressed that way. I think it will be a real interesting mix of fashions there.” Nicholls said the event is a way to embody the parks department and introduce everyone in attendance to some of the developments happening out at Strawtown Koteewi Park. “The public for the most part doesn’t quite know, and if they know it might be more of what they heard or rumors, about the new bevy of features that will be shown in a microcosm,” he said. Nicholls said the event will include a rock climbing wall and at the top guests can access

the aerial park (or sky trails). “That particular sky trail will end in a zip line,” he said. Other stations include a birds of prey professional will present live birds and information and a full scale archery range with real arrows and targets. “These are all going to be fun activities but I think they are going to go a great distance in underscoring the exciting developments, in many ways innovative elements, we are going to be introducing at Strawtown Koteewi Park specifically,” Nicholls said.

WHS junior Michael Wiseley’s passion for music leads to DJ career
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The first time Michael Wiseley listened to a remix by Skrillex in 2010, he was hooked on the electronic dance music industry. cover story Since then the Westfield High School junior has been working as a DJ for four years and producing the music, originals or remixes of original songs, for two years. His music can be found on his Sound Cloud account. Wiseley spends several hours per week honing his EDM skills. Wiseley said the main roots of EDM, a set of percussive music genre, comes from disco. EDM is usually played at nightclubs, festivals and raves. “It’s hard because Indianapolis doesn’t have many all-age venues so the need for a 16-year-old dance music DJ isn’t really high right now,” he said. Wiseley, who goes by the DJ handle of MavBrooks, played his first headline show at the Emerson Theater in Indianapolis on Dec. 5. Last summer he was selected to play at the Indy Pride Festival after submitting his history and his tracks. “One of the main things that helped me get on the lineup is I was dedicating my set to the eighthgrader from Westfield who committed suicide because he was bullied for his sexuality,” Wiseley said. “I had his older brother, who was a Westfield senior last year, come on the stage and he talked about his brother and that situation.” Wiseley made an edit of Stop the Violence in a track to honor Indianapolis police officer Perry

Brooks just sounded good with Mav.” • Favorite subject in school? “I love
Renn, who was killed in the line of duty in July. “I like to find a deeper meaning or purpose when I make music,” Wiseley said. Wiseley has also used his musical platform to reach out to those who might be contemplating suicide. “My big message is love,” Wiseley said. “I want to make people feel that they are needed and literally try to make people happy. All though my songs if I can make one person happy through them, I’m happy.” Wiseley said he is working hard to get into some festivals this summer and some venues in other states. “Last year it was the most growing genre in the U.S.,” Wiseley said. “I think it’s going to be a lot like the rock and roll in the ‘50s. It’s just going to get bigger and bigger.” Wiseley hopes to attend ICON Collective, a digital music production school, in Los Angeles after graduating from high school. Wiseley said he recently learned how to play the piano. He also knows how to play guitar and the drums. “For producing, the biggest tip is to learn every instrument you can because it will help out,” Wiseley said. “Especially for dance music because it really helps to bring new ideas and sounds together.” Wiseley is starting to incorporate a minikeyboard and drum pads to plug into consoles for live shows. Wiseley said he is learning as many sub-genres of EDM as he can.

“That makes you a better producer and leads into to being a DJ,” he said. “You learn the different tempo and keys.’’ His father David Wiseley has become a major fan and said his son displays great drive in working on his craft. “He tries to put his style into it,” his dad said. “He has fun twists he puts into it, like he recently used a ‘70s song (‘Escape’) in one. He’s puts on a clean and fun show.” His dad is proud of his son for tackling social issues. “He’s a thoughtful kid,” David said. “He gravitates to those kinds of social issues.”

District to pilot seatbelts By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Chaperones won’t be the only thing accompanying Westfield Washington Schools students on field trips. The safety school board of trustees recently approved a pilot program with IMMI, a Westfield-based advanced safety systems manufacturer. Supt. Dr. Mark Keen said it was IMMI that approached the district about partnering. “School buses don’t go very fast,” he said. “The construction has always proven to be safe for students. It’s a safer vehicle than any car would be without seatbelts.” Keen said the pilot program will involve six newer buses to have seatbelts installed in a two to three year period. “They’ll be field trip designated buses, which go at a higher rate of speed,” he said. “Today we use our school buses for more than traveling short distances to and from school. We use them to take our athletic teams, performing arts group, and students on field trips where we are traveling on interstates for long amount periods of time,” stated Nick Verhoff, WWS business director. “We hope this pilot program will allow us to better evaluate seatbelts on buses.” While school officials know of the benefits of having seatbelts on buses, they are inter-

ested to see if there are any drawbacks, such as being a distraction to the driver and use. “We’ll start buying buses with seatbelts in them and check out all the positives and downsides,” Keen said. “If it’s proven successful, we’ll probably move forward with it.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 600 school buses have been involved in rollover accidents in the past five years and 17,000 students are injured in school bus accidents annually. “School buses are the only vehicles traveling down our highways at 65 miles per hour that don’t offer the protection of seat belts for our kids. We can do better, and in Westfield, we will,” stated Tom Anthony, IMMI president and owner.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Participation is a responsibility We recently met with a city council member up for re-election in May. His name and municipality of service are not germane to this discussion. What does matter, though, is the topic of voter participation, or, perhaps, voter apathy. He allows that the failure to exercise the right and responsibility to cast votes can be traced to the home. We’re in agreement. Back in the day, it was something of a rite of passage to gain a voter’s registration card. Back then, voting was way less about politics than it was about having your voice heard. We suspect, as did the visiting council member, that the issue isn’t even a blip on most families’ radar screens – and that’s a shame. Prior to each election, primary or general, we always include a reminder to get out and vote. Looking at voter-participation numbers, we’ve concluded the message was unimportant to many. We asked our visitor about immersion - in community; in issues; in, yes, politics. The councilor’s belief is the same as ours: Most among us would prefer to sit on the sidelines than play the game, as it were. Most all want a solution, but fewer seem to be willing to roll up their sleeves and become a part of it. Former Congressman Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.) adroitly sums this up in a recent op-ed, in which he writes, “You can’t study every issue, but you can pick one and dig in, whether it’s a big problem like climate change or a smaller one, such as how to get food delivered to shut-ins in your community.” The point is, voting, like getting involved in endeavors that move the community forward, has to be a conscious decision. Writes Hamilton, “Our Constitution’s preamble begins, ‘We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union’... . At heart, that’s what getting involved means …”. Are you willing to help make it better? We are and we believe we do. We hope you’ll join us. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Amateur night
Commentary by Terry Anker
New Year’s Eve is one of those. St. Patrick’s Day is too. These are counted among the days when good, common, folk are encouraged and even expected to behave irresponsibly. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m all for having a good time. And occasionally, the fun includes an adult beverage or two. But what’s the pleasure of racing headfirst into the drunk tank? We live in an age of excess. Government is getting bigger. Everything on the Kardashians is getting bigger. TV’s are getting bigger. Supersize seems to be the new medium. More. Bigger. Faster. Is it human nature to covet exceeding last year’s accomplishments? Competition and continuous improvement are virtuous endeavors. It is good to seek to enhance and upgrade routinely. But do we sometimes mistake growth for advancement? When is our desire for extra an excess? Collectively, we eat too much and the data shows it. Portion sizes have bloated to unprecedented levels. Some would argue that we con-
sume too much of everything – food, fuel, natural resources, health care, to name a few. We drive ourselves to ever out-do what came before. It wasn’t that long ago that a 30-inch television was an amazing luxury. Now, it is disposable. And, life marches on. What is the cost of our need for more? Certainly, Americans struggle to save money. Our savings rates, compared to consumption, are abysmal. Also, our sports are now “extreme” and our parties epic. Likewise our waistlines are buckling under the long-term effect. With March returns St. Patrick’s Day and its celebration often includes a good deal of beer, Jameson’s and jocularity. But in a culture where more is more, can we hope to survive the party in tact? If amateur drinkers are the most dangerous, aren’t we better off to stay home on amateur night?

You won’t believe what I did over the weekend. My four sisters and I auditioned for the Family Feud! The Family Feud! And not to boast, but I really believe we have a shot at making it on to the show. Seriously, by summer, I could be blowing my fifth of a hundred grand on a Caribbean cruise! My youngest sister Emily has always wanted to be on the Feud, and when she saw they were coming to Columbus, Ohio, my sister Christina’s hometown, she convinced the rest of us to join her. My twin flew in from L.A., another sister came from Louisville, and Em drove over from Chicago. Five gorgeous gingers, all closet actresses? Puh-lease. How could we not make it? The actual audition consisted of a mock game between us and another family in front of two hundred other Feud hopefuls. We made a grand entrance from the back of the Radisson’s ballroom, high-fiving strangers and throwing admittedly-crooked cartwheels. Emily introduced us and then we got down to business. First question? “Name something people like to eat … ” DING! Emily rang in and shouted “French fries!” Rachel, our host, yelled back “Eeeehhh!” She hadn’t finished. “Name something people like to eat in slices.” Fortunately our opponents responded with “potatoes,” which made no sense whatsoever. We played. Christina said “pizza,” the number one answer on the board, and my third sister got buzzed for “watermelon” although we all felt it was a “Good answer!” My twin said “oranges” (correct) and then I drew a complete blank. Stalling, I said “Rachel. I. Am. Going. To. Go. With…Pie!” Shoo! And of course I pronounced it “pah” to emphasize my southern roots. Back to Emily, who said “apples,” and then to Christina who immediately dropped to the floor and did the worm. THE WORM. Right there, on camera. I’m sure that’s why the casting director invited us for a private interview. That and the fact that we were complete spazzes. I nearly threw a hip jumping up and down and could barely speak afterwards from all the screaming. I hope to God I never see that footage! Upstairs, they asked for interesting facts about ourselves. Christina obviously performed the worm again (She has four kids!); my twin told of her appearance in the worst-rated Super Bowl commercial of all times (1998, Coke, Redheads, Google it); and I explained how I once sucked an eyeball from a rabbit’s skull during Air Force survival training. Pure TV gold, right? We’ll find out in two weeks if we’ll be heading to Atlanta to tape. And rest assured, I’ll detail every minute of my rise to stardom on the Feud.

Sounds of violence Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The disorder is called misophonia. Sounds like what you feel when you can’t find your cellular device. So what is it? Well, if you humor have misophonia, you’re not going to like the sound of this. Actually, you won’t like the sound of almost anything. The malady is characterized by an aversion and sometimes a violent response to certain everyday sounds. At the misophonia website, many people expressed great relief at discovering that others had this problem, suggesting they were not crazy. That’s like watching a documentary about a woman who eats sawdust like you do and then saying: “See, I’m not so loony, after all.” One man said that he suffered from the disorder way before he knew there was a name for it. This is not so unusual. My mother told me that as an infant I had catastrophic intestinal issues, but I don’t think I ever heard the word diarrhea until I was in the fourth grade. One woman hated the sound of heavy breathing and when she heard it, she immediately left the room. She signed her post as Chastity, which makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Another lady said she could not stand the sound of her own chewing. Don’t tell the whole world about this, Madam. Just keep your mouth shut.
The sound of people eating popcorn or crunching on apples drives a lot of people bonkers. One farmer said, and I swear I’m not making this up, that when her husband eats an apple, she has to cover her ears, “but listening to my horse chomp on an apple doesn’t bother me at all.” A newlywed said her husband’s eating disgusts her and she’s thinking of leaving him. What? She’s just now discovering this? Waiting until marriage for intimacy is old-fashioned enough, but waiting for your first meal? What cult is that? The sounds made by ice cream eaters are also annoying to some people. What with the lip-smacking and the spoon hitting the bottom of the bowl, one woman confessed she was thinking about doing away with her husband, but instead she told him he was lactose intolerant. A senior citizen said when his wife gulps soup, he wants to ring her neck. By the way, ringing is a sound most people hate. Check out the website Misophonia.com. Are these real people with legitimate concerns? Who knows? Maybe it’s all just hearsay.

Organizations show support for indoor facility Editor, The Indiana Fire Juniors is eagerly awaiting the completion of the proposed Grand Park indoor soccer structure. We believe the facility will not only benefit our member families, but it will bring business to the surrounding area during our regular season games and special events. The Indiana Fire Juniors has a membership of more than 2,500 youth soccer players who train during the fall, winter and spring seasons. We are currently hosting six showcases and tournaments during the 2014-15 soccer season. The addition of the indoor facility will make the Grand Park complex a year round destination. The indoor facility will allow us to expand our offerings to include at least another seven indoor events in the 2015-16 season. Our regular season games typically bring in teams from around the Midwest and beyond. The elite boys Developmental Academy and girls ECNL leagues host teams from as far as Minnesota and Maryland. Our showcases and tournaments draw just under 600 soccer teams and family members from the United States and Canada. These visitors stay in nearby hotels and eat at nearby restaurants. Without fail, visitors see what the city of Westfield has to offer and proclaim that they will be back. While the Grand Park outdoor fields provide a state-of-the-art playing field for hosting tournaments and other special events during the fall and spring, our players and coaches are left
“out in the cold” during Indiana’s snowy winter months. The proposed indoor facility would provide us with a home for winter training and practices as well as an indoor venue to host special events year round. Perhaps most importantly, the addition of an indoor facility gives the club another opportunity to give back to a community that has been most generous to us in the past. Soccer parents – especially those with older players – do not typically sit around during evening practices. They like to use this time to catch up on errands or have an impromptu date night with a spouse. During the winter months, when our club practices at an indoor facility in Northwest Indianapolis, those parents spend their money at neighboring restaurants and businesses. We would much prefer to bring that business back home to Westfield. With its growing business base and exceptional, individually owned restaurants, we know the City of Westfield can keep parents and friends engaged in the surrounding community. The Indiana Fire Juniors believes that Grand Park’s reach extends beyond providing a place to play. It is continuing to filter dollars back into the local community. Perhaps more importantly, it exposes the City of Westfield and all it has to offer, both locally and beyond. Mark Webber Indiana Fire Juniors executive director
Editor, After more than a quarter century of Jonathan Byrd’s operations, and nearly 65 years of familyrun foodservice on the south side of Indianapolis, the opportunity to partner with the City of Westfield, and to do so within a truly visionary project on the scale of Grand Park, is tremendously exciting. Since our very first meeting with Mayor (Andy) Cook and his staff, and the very first mention of the possibility of bringing the Jonathan Byrd’s brand to what is going to be the absolutely incredible indoor soccer facility within Grand Park, we have eagerly looked forward to having a stake in what is truly a landmark facility for Westfield, for Hamilton County, and for the State of Indiana. Opportunities to be part of visions and ventures such as what has already happened and what is going to be happening in Westfield are rare indeed. So not only can we not wait to be part of the increasingly vibrant business community of Westfield that has been spurred by the development of Grand Park and which we believe will be catapulted to even greater heights with the addition of the soccer complex that truly makes Grand Park a year round attraction and economic engine for Westfield and its busi-
ness community, we are taking the opportunity to create a new brand within our foodservice operations. This new branding that is part of the new era of Jonathan Byrd’s, which we expect to deliver well over 100 new jobs to the Westfield community with an estimated annual payroll of $1.6 million, effectively makes Westfield, Grand Park, and its indoor soccer complex an incubator for a new business concept that will add one more chapter to the success story that is Grand Park. The indoor soccer complex is what is bringing Jonathan Byrd’s to Westfield and to Grand Park, and we have no doubt that it will be a driving force behind the growing Hoosier success story that is Westfield. We join with so many from around the state and around the country in applauding what has already been accomplished by the citizens and leaders of Westfield in such a short period of time, and we very much look forward to the construction of the facility that has people throughout the state and around the nation buzzing with anticipation, and that will tie this great vision together.

Try this Irish favorite for St. Patricks Day Compiled by Melissa Hicks Beer Braised Irish Stew and Colcannon
Ingredients: For Irish Stew: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 cup coarsely chopped onion, 1 cup coarsely chopped carrot, 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce. For Colcannon: 3 slices bacon, 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, 2 cups thinly sliced cabbage, 1/4 cup warmed milk, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley. Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until very hot, and brown the meat in 2 batches, stirring to brown the cubes on all sides. Return all the meat to the Dutch oven, sprinkle with flour and stir lightly to coat the meat with flour. Stir in onion, carrots, dark beer, bay leaves, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cover. Place the Dutch oven into the preheated oven, and cook for 45 minutes; uncover, stir the stew, and cook until the beef is very tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 45 more minutes. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined
Irish Stew plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside. About 30 minutes before the stew is ready, make the colcannon: Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Place the cabbage into a microwave-safe bowl, and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on High for about 2 1/2 minutes; uncover (watch out for steam) and stir the cabbage. Cover and microwave for about 2 1/2 more minutes, until the cabbage is slightly tender but not mushy. Drain excess liquid, and set the cabbage aside, covered. Place the potatoes into a large bowl, and add milk, butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Beat the potatoes with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in the cabbage, crumbled bacon and parsley until well combined. To serve, place a scoop of colcannon onto a plate, make it hollow and fill with braised beef stew. Original recipe makes eight servings. Source: Allrecipes.com

We all have a little extra layer of belly right now. But we can stop dreading the upcoming swimsuit season, and just nutrition need to help our body become a greater fat burning machine and stop derailing progress along the way. Key is a diet rich in proteins and green vegetables and cutting out simple sugars and carbs, especially late in the day. Nighttime eating can undo all your hard work, except for a high protein snack. Protein breaks down more slowly, and in fact 20 percent to 30 percent of the calories of protein are burned breaking it down. And protein helps fuel your lean muscle increasing your fat burning potential while you sleep. Avoid processed and fast foods, which are often rich in trans fats. Foods high in trans fats not only increase weight more than other foods of the same calories, but have an affinity to specifically cause belly fat gain. We can also naturally boost our fat burning potential. Caffeine and polyphenols in green tea,
7 Keto DHEA and the MCT oil in coconut oil have natural properties that boost our metabolism. And CLA has been clinically proven to help metabolize stubborn belly fat at a dose of 1.7 grams per day. Working hard? Just make sure you keep the sleep bank full or you’ll undo benefits of the diet and exercise of the day. Lack of sleep increases cortisol hormone levels which triggers our body to store more fat. Alcoholic drinks, while great socially, are empty calories that almost immediately interrupt fat burning. And each gram of alcohol packs almost twice as many calories as normal dietary carbohydrate. Drink in moderation and limit to once a week or refrain entirely to shed unwanted belly fat. It’s coming. Start taking steps now and you’ll be thanking yourself this summer. Cory Black is the owner of PointBlank Nutrition in Carmel. He may be contacted at 569-5368 or cory@ pointblanknutrition.com.

New Keystone ramp coming 2017 By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com
“It causes tremendous congestion there,” Altman said. “This gives a lot of people access to go southbound on Keystone.” The project will cost an estimated $12 million with $4 million coming from the state. Heirbrandt said the remaining amount would include TIF dollars from Clay Terrace. “It was a huge deficiency in the U.S. 31 plan,” said Hamilton County Highway Dept. Director Brad Davis. “The state had a limited amount of funds and the option was dropped off at the time. We had to pick it up.” As part of the project, Altman said the stop light on Lowes Way will be turned into a roundabout. Officials said the project is already designed and they are working with the City of Carmel to develop a plan. “It may connect over to Range Line Road for economic development,” Altman said, adding an environmental study will be done. “It’s been high on our radar.”
Hamilton County officials said that one of the most glaring traffic issues in Carmel-Westfield will be rectified in the coming years. The Commute Hamilton County Commissioners Christine Altman and Mark Heirbrandt said Keystone Avenue and 146th Street will be connected. Construction is expected to take place in 2017. “I’m so excited,” said Altman, a Carmel resident. “It’s one of the best projects we’ve got going.” Officials said the problem with U.S. 31 is that it causes traffic issues for those utilizing 146th Street, one of the county’s major east-west arteries. “Right now commuters get stuck and have to go up to 151st Street to get onto Keystone (Avenue) or down to Smokey Row (Road),” Heirbrant said.

The balance of the portfolio should be the primary decision, followed by stock choices. Source: BottomLine.com

Taking grammar to heart
Commentary by Jordan Fischer
Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, has everyone totally forgot what they learned in grade school about ‘bring’ and ‘take?’ I Grammar Guy have heard many examples lately from college educated(?) folks misusing these words. Here’s an example: ‘I have to get up at 5:00 to bring Mom and Dad to the airport. Why am I still up?’ (from a Facebook post) Obviously to me it should be ‘take’ since the writer is not currently living at the airport. Should I just give up on it?” – (Bernie Augenstein, Greenwood) Answer: Never give up, Bernie! Never surrender! I share your pain on this one. The rule is really quite simple – and it’s all about you! The Oxford Dictionaries boil it down to this: “The essential difference between these two words is that ‘bring’ implies movement toward someone or something … whereas ‘take’ implies movement away from someone or something.” Given your example above, “take” is clearly
the correct word. But let’s flip it on its head to see how the point of reference of the speaker changes things. If our speaker is, in fact, already at the airport, they might say something like, “Did you bring snacks for the flight?” or “I brought headsets for all of us.” However if the speaker is still at home, the verb changes: “Mom and Dad already took the snacks with them.” “Are we all taking carryons?” (Side note: Several airlines appear to be spelling “carry-on” as “carryon.” Don’t do that.) Just remember the two parts to the equation: Where you are and where the person or thing is going in relation to you. Things are “brought” to you and “taken” away from you – despite the Gershwins’ lovely 1937 song claiming the contrary.

Soak your dishcloth overnight in a solution of one cup hot water, one-half cup white vinegar, and three tablespoons salt. In the morning, rinse out the cloth with warm water.

Dusting Venetian blinds – Slatted shades can be a real pain to dust. Cover your hands with either heavy cotton socks or cotton gardening gloves, then run your hands over the slats to dust them. To keep your blinds cleaner longer, give them a once-over with a fabric-softener sheet. The antistatic agent in the dryer sheet helps repel dust.

When frying fish on the stovetop, add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the pan. It will prevent the odor and will also add an interesting flavor to the fish. Source: HouseholdMagicDailyTips.com

Section of Parthenon Frieze in the British Museum. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Will England lose its marbles? Commentary by Don Knebel
Magnificent marble sculptures from the Parthenon are among the most popular of the eight million items in London’s British Travel Museum. These so-called “Elgin Marbles” are also the museum’s most controversial items, with persistent claims they were plundered from Greece. Pericles built the Parthenon atop the Athens Acropolis in the fifth century B.C. to house a colossal statue of the goddess Athena. The colonnaded building, visible throughout the city, was the epitome of classic Greek architecture, adorned inside and out with exquisitely carved marble figures and friezes. As Athens later fell to different empires, the Parthenon was converted to a church and then a mosque and finally an ammunition dump. In 1687, gunpowder stored by the Ottomans exploded during a battle with the Venetians, severely damaging the Parthenon. The artwork was strewn amid the rubble. In 1798, Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin, became British ambassador to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, then controlling Athens. Initially desiring only to make casts of the art he found in the Parthenon ruins, he later decided to take it home. Whether he wanted the pieces for his Scottish estate or to prevent further damage
is still disputed. Whatever his motive, he obtained a controversial document from the Sultan purportedly giving him permission to remove “stones” from the Acropolis. Interpreting the document to permit the removal of anything made of stone, Lord Elgin personally spent 70,000 pounds to remove and ship to England about half of all the artwork of the Parthenon, including 17 pediment statues, 15 exterior panels called “metopes” depicting mythical battles, and 250 feet of the frieze honoring the Olympian gods that originally extended around the interior. Apparently needing money, he sold the items to the British government in 1816 for 35,000 pounds. Since the 1850s, the word “Elginism” has been used to describe cultural vandalism. The Elgin Marbles are now displayed in the British Museum’s Duveen Gallery, a large room built especially for them. The Greek government has repeatedly demanded their return as stolen art, a claim the British government has rejected. In 2014, UNESCO offered to mediate the dispute. Stay tuned.

What are your shields? Commentary by Kristin Boice
our painful or hurt feelings so we discharge them onto other people. When we focus on the other person, it prevents us from moving forward and healing. 3. Criticism or judgment. When we are in judgment of another person, it’s because we are struggling with that same issue within ourselves. 4. Shutting down. We will freeze or just turn it off. We won’t communicate or talk about a situation, which tends to make it only get worse. 5. Withdrawal. We might go into flight, runaway or numb out from a situation or conflict. The situation doesn’t go away. We must face it and move through it in order to get to the other side.
It’s a universal need to feel safe and secure emotionally and physically. Most of us are looking for certainty. When relationships we don’t feel like we are emotionally safe or certain about the outcome, we become afraid and want to protect ourselves by closing off emotionally – using shields or defense mechanisms. Unfortunately, they really don’t protect us. They tend to create feelings of disconnection, separation, loneliness, anxiety and depression. The five most common shields are: 1. Anger. This one is an easy one to fall back on. It’s a cover up for something deeper such as fear, hurt and/or pain. For many, it’s easier to get angry than to figure out why you are triggered and calm yourself down before reacting. 2. Blame. We often want to blame others for how we feel. We don’t want to deal with March

It’s time to look beyond the ceiling fan. When it comes to lighting up the room via overhead lights, many homeowners choose standard, boring and often ineffective ceiling indoors fixtures. This is a real missed opportunity in terms of design. Ceiling light fixtures are key decorative elements that many homeowners tend to gloss over when building or remodeling a space. Not only do they properly illuminate the room, but carefully chosen lighting fixtures can also tie together various design elements together. The first step in choosing an effective ceiling light is analyzing the specific lighting needs of the room. Kitchens often require very bright lighting to make cooking and entertaining easier. Bedrooms may require dimmer lights to create a relaxing, comforting atmosphere. You’ll also need to take into account the amount of natural lighting that’s already present. Rooms without a great deal of natural lighting may require brighter lights to compensate. After you’ve figured out the logistics of the room, the fun of selecting a ceiling fixture design can start. Select a fixture that complements the overall décor of the room and your home in general. Style, shape, color and size all play an important role in creating a fixture’s look, so pay attention to all of these elements. Popular ceiling fixture options include:
you would install a chandelier. Ceiling mounts: If you’re looking for a more subtle design, mounted ceiling fixtures may work well for your room. They come in countless shapes and styles, so you’re sure to find one that works well with your décor. Ceiling mounts offer more of a design impact than recessed lighting, without atPendant lights are perfect for spaces or areas that need direct overhead light- tracting as much ing, such as over a kitchen island or a wet bar.

How to achieve an 'inspired' surrounding
Commentary by Randy Sorrell
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.

Benign, tired and irrelevant accurately describes the space prior to intervention. Fueled, inspired and relevant confidently illustrates the space post rescue. It often outdoors takes a few years for the difference to be soooo substantial, but not this time! The forgotten path had been somewhat neglected, even forgotten. Our objective was to raise the perception of this hidden area and offer a sense of elegance once again. HISTORIC AIR The authentic Indiana limestone with mortar joints established a historic air to it, a critical component in this upper-crust neighborhood. While its primary function is for terracing, the brightness of the limestone now serves to guide your eye to other areas of the back living space and tease the senses. Now, the courtyard off the master bedroom door has been pulled into the remaining space, yet remains somewhat secretive. “TRIPLE THREAT” Color was another charge, achieved with a joint venture between the limestone and our “triple threat” (high color, low maintenance and 4 seasons of interest) plant palate. The genuine boxwood hedge behaves as an anchor / backdrop and fuels the surrounding vibrant colors of hydrangea, double knockout roses (located in

the rare stroke of sun), purple coral bells and lilly variety. Dappled height from the native flowering redbuds and dogwoods will command attention in the early spring. We dig Fueled. Inspired. Relevant. How about you?
