Westfield Mayor Andy Cook speaks at the event.
The 12th-annual Breakfast for Scouting fundraiser was held at the Bridgewater Club March 22. The crowd heard fundraiser stories from Cub Scout Corey Wilhelm of Pack 129, Eagle Scout Mack Bentivoglio of Troop 152, Scout Executive Patrick Sterrett, Breakfast Chairman Pete Emigh and Mayor Andy Cook. The efforts raised $41,510. Wilhelm, a third-grader, told attendees one of his favorite aspects of Scouting was the Pinewood Derby. “I think it’s fun to race it down the track,” he said. Bentivoglio coached the attendees through tying a square knot and then shared a story from his first year at summer camp and what he learned through the completion of his Eagle Scout project. “With my Eagle project, I learned a lot,” he said. “It’s about giving back to the community because the community offered you Scouts, so it’s your thanks to them.” Cook took the stage after the Scouts and read the 12 words describing Scouts: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
“You think about how relevant those virtues are in today’s world, and really, in all of this, it seems we’ve lost injecting a lot of those virtues in our young ones,” Cook said. “The means to do that are just so very presented by our Scouting program. “Those things are nothing more or less than the key to happiness, which is what everyone is after in these United States.” Cook voiced disappointment in how today’s youth is constantly involved in technology and how Scouting counters that. “That part bothers me, and I just see where Scouting can and will fill this void that is so basic to the progression of everything in our government, our country, our businesses,” he said. “I’m so thrilled here in Westfield for our Scouting.” After the breakfast, the mayor was presented with a walking stick. There are approximately 33,000 youth in central Indiana involved in Scouting. For more, visit Scouting.org.

It’s not something where we have a program and then it’s over and that’s just it. The things our clients learn at Janus will last them for a lifetime in developmental skills that will help them in day-to-day living, at work or in the community, so it’s an ongoing process for our clients.” Reservations are required for the event and can be made by emailing Laird at dlaird@janus-inc.org.

Residents discuss ballot option for Westfield schools By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A seven-year operating referendum was passed in November, but some in the Westfield Washington School District insist there’s still work to be done. cover story Several focus groups have been held since the referendum, which compelled the district to place a 30-year construction referendum on the May 2 ballot. “Upon the successful passing of the operating referendum, the focus-group meetings in the fall accomplished several different things,” WWS Supt. Sherry Grate said. “The purpose of the focus groups was to educate the community about a lot of different things about the school district.” One of those things, according to Grate, is that construction or reconfiguration is needed to accommodate growth at the Westfield intermediate, middle and high schools. Westfield High School Principal Stacy McGuire said an additional 120-250 students will be added to the school each year depending on how many neighborhoods open and how many families move to the city. “The first thing we gathered feedback upon is what might be some areas we want to enhance as far as educational opportunities for our students,” she said. “Another key point was we needed to be able to make some decisions about grade-level configurations.” The focus groups also highlighted four constructionreferendum pricing scenarios and the pros and cons of adding the new referendum to the May ballot instead of the November ballot. “After (the focus groups), the school board met, and through lots of conversation made a deliberate decision to move forward with the referendum in May,” Grate said. The referendum would have a $90 million threshold, which Grate said the district believes the community would support. “It also allows us to address the growth we are experiencing at the intermediate, middle and the high school as well as being able to address updating and renovating to maintain other facilities,” she said. The $90 million bond would be broken down to 30 cents per $100 of assessed value per resident. Similar to a home mortgage, it would be paid off in 20 to 30 years.
(Above) The Westfield High School media center was recently reorganized to best meet the students’ needs. (Photo by Sadie Hunter) (Right) Previously, the Westfield High School media center had a traditional library setting. (Submitted photo)
The bond would be broken into different components and not paid all at once, and multiple construction or renovations may take place at the same time. “We wanted to be in a position to have a comprehensive plan for how to address the growth rather than going back to the community and doing multiple referendums,” Grate said. “We think this one chunk of money will address the needs,” McGuire said. “We have been thoughtful and diligent and purposeful in knowing our priorities as they are today and what we believe the priorities will be in the next five to 10 years.” After expressing concern on a tax-increment financing impact and stating the school board provides minimal documentation in meeting agendas, Westfield resident Ron Thomas came to a negative conclusion regarding the construction referendum. “I’ll be voting ‘no,’” Thomas stated via Facebook. “I’m not voting against education but against the continual bad governance we experience here in Westfield. It’s time to draw the line and say ‘enough is enough.’ It’s time for the
Attend a public information session Two public information sessions will be held this month for Westfield residents to hear from architects who have been working with the schools. The architects will present examples of construction or reconfigurations if the construction referendum is approved. The two public events will be 6 to 8 p.m. April 24 at the Maple Glen Elementary School multipurpose room and 6 to 8 p.m. April 27 in the Carey Ridge Elementary School multipurpose room. ••• What are you thoughts on the proposed referendum?

various governmental bodies to work to benefit the existing community and stop the giveaways to developers. Older people in the community are realizing they either have to cut their quality of life or move, neither of which is acceptable in my opinion.” Two meetings will be held this month where architects will provide the public with the visual and conceptual configuration of the what the schools might become if the construction referendum is approved. One example of a reconfiguration is, recently WHS utilized the library space by casting it into more of a makerspace and a place for kids to study, with the vibe of what students might experience at a college campus. Other high school reconfiguration examples prior to the referendum proposal include constructing classrooms where courtyards used to be and repurposing a photography class darkroom into a Mac computer lab. If the referendum doesn’t pass, Grate said portable classrooms will be the district’s short-term solution. Six pods cost $115,000. “The important thing to know, this is all at a cost to the taxpayer, so portables come at a price to taxpayers and construction is going to come at a price to taxpayers,” Grate said. “The longer we wait, the greater that price.” Westfield resident Jennifer Moore Murphy, who has two children in private-schools Guerin Catholic High School and St. Maria Goretti Catholic School, said she doesn’t see herself as a private school mom. She said she wants all children across the state to have equal opportunities when it comes to education. “We are educating our kids through referendums,” she said. “The wealthy suburbs are going to have great schools because we all pass these referendums which add money to the tax caps, but in areas of the state that aren’t wealthy, they’re not going to have such great schools. “If this were a statewide referendum to improve the schools, there would be a sign in my yard.”

Separation makes the wife grow fonder!
ob s e r v a tion
A lucky guy
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker The path to a happy life and fulfilling career is rarely a direct one. In fact, modern times seemingly dictate an intentionally circuitous route. We switch jobs with ever increasing frequency. We move from home to home. We jump from city to city, even state to state and nation to nation. The toll of this constant condition of change can be a difficult burden for many. We struggle to create and maintain long-term and stable relationships. We often become disassociated from our family and neighbors. Isolation is an emerging human crisis even as we are more connected than ever before. The reasons that drive us to give up the known, the familiar and the constant to seek new challenges and opportunities are as varied as the ways that we define the fulfillment that we seek. Several years ago, I decided to veer off a bit from the secure and well-understood career I’d built in the previous 20 years to serve somewhat more directly. Long a volunteer and donor to a variety of causes, an opportunity was presented to help lead the local community foundation, to build its endowment and to elevate its profile. This month marks the completion of that tenure. It has been a good, if imperfect, run. Many metrics have been achieved and congratulations exchanged. Yet, like many at a moment of transition, one looks for summation of it all. What was learned? How could it have been better? Was it worth the effort? Given another at-bat, would we look for the same pitch? As I return to a life more familiar, I will miss the one that I’ve come to live. But happiness is found in its pursuit. And, in that, I’m a lucky guy.

Obviously, Pulte did not believe they would have the vote so they requested a continuance based upon a questionable upgrade which was so new and fresh they couldn’t provide the details. The behavior of Pulte is a prime example of the way developers seem to be bullying their way through the process with little or no regard for the wishes of the people or the community and the Comprehensive Plan for which they stand. The unprecedented allowance of Pulte to return again and again throughout this Wood Wind PUD is a perfect example of how our administration appears to favor the developer over the citizens.
It also appears, and should be noted, that APC member Bob Horkay has shown obvious inconsistency in not recusing himself from participating because he has a son working for Pulte, but did recuse himself in a proposed zoning change before the APC for Birch Dalton, because of a son that works for them. Since starting my petition “Stop Irresponsible Development,” we are close to 1,000 signatures and the comments keep coming and are so heartfelt about fast-paced developments, concern about schools and infrastructure and loss of rural countryside. One signer comments “We’ve lived here less than three years and are appalled at the rampant, profitdriven growth and total disregard for the environment.” Bottom line is the pace at which developments, 19 in our area alone, are being pushed through, none of them custom, none that are supporting our infrastructure and schools, is alarming. We can do better, we deserve better! Thanks, Beth Armstrong
If being quietly happy that my husband Doo is out of town is wrong, people, then I gotta be honest, I don’t want to humor be right! I love Doo, and I know he loves me, but a little space every now and again is a welcome respite from the demands of marriage. Can I get an “amen?” No? OK. Let me break it down. Male partners are large children, especially during cold and flu season. They are needy, they can’t seem to act independently and more often than not, they pee on the wall instead of in the toilet. Sure, they work hard, and mine in particular is extraordinarily handy around the house. But their ability to begin and finish a task is often handicapped by their desire to eat, play on the computer, or in my case, watch the ever-depressing but admittedly entertaining poo-show that is the news. So I am thrilled that Doo will be gone for a few nights, and I’ll have complete control of the kitchen, bedroom and remote. I’ll only need to mentally keep track of my four actual teenagers and not worry about whether Doo will be able to pick up from dance or help with homework. Now, should you be calling me a horrible wife, know that Doo is probably enjoying the break even more than I am. He can turn on every light in his hotel room, keep the volume up on the TV and not be concerned with leaving the place a complete pit. He’s free to be Doo – an ADD, extraverted night-owl who temporarily has no parenting or spousal responsibilities whatsoever. Truly, this is a win-win scenario! And the best part is, once Doo returns, I’ll have experienced just enough singleparenting to appreciate his love and support once again. So I say, bring on the spouse-free week! Yay! Peace out.

Troubling signs Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My mother drove her Buick until almost 90 … and sometimes faster. She was in great health at age 87, but humor it irked her that many of her able-bodied friends had handicap license plates that allowed them to park closer to the grocery store. She’d get out of her car and drag her foot along the ground to appear disabled. The A&P manager overlooked it. He wasn’t as lenient on the shoplifting charges, though. I admit that I’ve parked in the spaces that said: PARKING FOR MOTHERS WITH TODDLERS I don’t have a toddler, but when I did, there were no reserved spaces. By the way, the signs are sexist: men can obviously have toddlers, although they probably left them home with mom. PARKING FOR EXPECTANT MOMS I once pulled into this space to hurriedly purchase a dozen eggs. Someone recognized me and pointed out to me that I was not pregnant. I won’t do that again, but just in case of a real emergency, I now carry a down pillow in the back seat. PARKING FOR ONLINE CUSTOMERS ONLY Huh? These folks were too lazy to shop
at the actual store, and too impatient to have their merchandise delivered. Now they want their own parking space? To be fair, if you are pregnant and also dragging along two toddlers to pick up a car seat you ordered online, you should be allowed to park right inside the store. Here’s one that annoys me: PARKING FOR TAKE-OUT CUSTOMERS ONLY Just because you ordered take-out doesn’t mean you should get a space in front of the restaurant. You were too tired to cook at home and too cheap to tip the waitress - and now you want a special place to park? If you want to feed your face quickly, there’s a McDonald’s drivethru right across the street from that Applebee’s. I’d like a sign that says: DICK WOLFSIE ONLY. But here’s how I am different from take-out customers and pregnant women: If I’m not using my space, it’s all yours.

My Father’s Garden of Health owner Betsy Rabold moved her shop to 201 Mill St. for the larger space. She wanted fitness more room to host activities. Rabold will begin offering yoga classes at the new shop the week of April 10. “Part of the reason we moved was so we could offer movement classes, primarily yoga,” she said. “We wanted to be more encompassing of natural health modalities, and that was one of the things that just seemed the natural fit.” Six different yoga classes will be offered. Five class sessions will cost $50; 10 class sessions will cost $105; and drop-in yoga participants will pay $14 per class. Chakradance also will be offered but not included in the multiple-session price. “It helps to open up those chakras and maintain a good flow of energy and vitality,” Rabold said. “It can definitely help with movement for folks who are unable to move well. You can even be sitting and doing Chakradance.” The Chakradance will be a series of nine weeks.

Focus on foods for eye health
Commentary by Dr. Matt Clark
Optometry patients who receive a clean bill of health frequently reply, “Good, I’ve been eating my carrots!” fitness While carrots are a wonderful source of vitamin A, these four foods are more likely to promote strong ocular health:
• Kale and spinach – These leafy vegetables are rich in vital nutrients for your eyes. They are the leading source of nutrients called lutein and zeaxanthin. These molecules, called carotenoids, act as retinal pigment and protect your eyes from harmful blue light. Carotenoids have been proven to reduce risk of macular degeneration
Rotary International is a service organization for men and women. Our theme this year is Fun and Fellowship. Visit us Tuesdays at 7:30 am at The Bridgewater Club.

and recent studies have shown they may even improve your night vision! These nutrients, along with vitamins A and C, place spinach and kale at the top of my list of foods your eyes crave. Sauté the greens with olive oil to help your body absorb these splendid fatsoluble nutrients.
• Salmon – Salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids called DHA and EPA, which improve the quantity and the quality of your tears. If you suffer from dry, irritated eyes, grab some tasty salmon filets on your next grocery run. As an added benefit, they are wonderful for your cardiovascular health and may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s. • Almonds – Bursting with vitamin E, another important antioxidant for the
eyes, almonds provide protection from macular degeneration and cataracts, two of the leading causes of vision loss in the United States. Almonds also reduce the risk of heart disease and are great for your skin. Carrots are great, but make sure your plate also includes these delicious foods. At your next annual eye exam, when your eye doctor tells you everything looks good, tell him or her, “Great! I’ve been eating my carotenoids and omega-3s!” They’ll be impressed.

Exhibit draws strong response By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel-based Great American Songbook Foundation is in the midst of throwing a year-long birthday celhistory ebration for Ella Fitzgerald. April 25 marks the 100th anniversary of Fitzgerald’s birth. The legendary singer died in 1996 at 79. A free exhibit, “Ella Sings the Songbook,” opened in January and runs through October on the Gallery level of the Palladium. The foundation has a different exhibit each year. “We love Ella. It’s her centennial year so we knew we wanted to do something,” said Chris Lewis, vice president of the foundation. “We have a close association with the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation. They sponsor scholarships for our Songbook Academy program. When they found out we were going to do an exhibit, they stepped up and co-sponsored this exhibit. A lot of the items, the recordings, the photos, the (sheet) music is from Ella’s personal collection.” The exhibit includes documentaries and performance clips. There is an interactive exhibit, which includes Fitzgerald songs.

“This is the biggest response we’ve had,” Lewis said. “We launched the Ella exhibit before everyone else this year so we got some national attention. Our goal is to double what we did last year (in attendance). We’re on the way there.” There is a traveling exhibit, which has gone to schools across the state. Fitzgerald recorded eight Songbook albums. “This solidified her as ‘The First Lady of Song,’” Lewis said of her nickname. The exhibit is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and before the jazz and songbook shows at the Palladium.

The total cost of the building was about $500 million, or more than $300,000 for each of the approximately 1,400 seats in the main auditorium. Despite (or perhaps because of) its enormous cost, the building’s design has been widely lampooned, described variously as a fly, an oil can and a space ship. The glass and metal entry has been compared unfavorably to the grill of a 1955 Pontiac. The curved maple wall at the rear of the foyer, stained orange to suggest a violin, is known locally as the “giant pumpkin.” Even architect Larsen, who acknowledged the building as his “greatest failure,” thought it looked like a toaster.
