Three months after Lucille Robertson was born on April 12, 1914, baseball legend Babe Ruth made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox. That same year, Woodrow Wilson Achievement was president and World War I began. “I didn’t think I’d ever live this long,” Robertson said at her 100th birthday celebration. Born and raised in Marion County and Lawrence, Robertson is the daughter of Charles and Janet Hensley. Her father was a brick mason, building Inspector and had a 4-acre farm. Her mother was a homemaker. Robertson said the world has changed drastically since her childhood. She remembers having oil lamps and used to heat bricks and wrap them in Army blankets and put them in bed to stay warm. “We went from a horse and buggy to a Model T Ford,” she said. “Moving from an outside toilet to an inside bathroom (was also a major lifestyle change).” Robertson, who has been a resident of Sanders Glen Assisted Living community since August 2012, said she has no secrets to her health besides quitting smoking 68 years ago. “I ate foods that don’t have all the preservatives in them and I try to be happy and tried to get around,” she said. “I love to dance too. If I didn’t have that walker I’d dance for you today.” Robertson was a homemaker and worked at Fort

Harrison during World War II in the base exchange and billings. She is an avid Pacers fan and still watches all the team’s games. Robertson also enjoys playing card games, such as Euchre and Skip Bo. “She’s ruthless,” said Lori Nicholas, Robertson’s granddaughter. “When you play cards with her she’s a serious competitor. She doesn’t give anybody any slack.” Later in her life, Robertson traveled with friends, who were retired from Western Electric, across the nation. At 80 years old, she finally made the trip to Hawaii on a tour. “I always wanted to go there and I loved it,” she said. Robertson has two daughters, Roberta Elliott and Sharon Sportsman; son, Richard; five grandchildren; 18 great grandchildren and five great-great grandchildren. “It’s unbelievable. What’s remarkable is she’s healthy mentally and physically,” Elliott said. “She’s as sharp as you and I, which is a lot to be thankful for. We are very blessed,” Sportsman said. One of Sportsman’s favorite memories from childhood was traveling to horse shows in the family’s pickup truck with her parents. Elliott said she remembers her mother as always cooking. “It was just hard work with all the freezing and canning,” she said. “At Christmas we would have a big open house and everybody would come.” Robertson said her favorite foods to make are beef and noodles and fried chicken. “I like good food,” she said.

DVD review “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” is heart-warming, funny, with a few gentle life-lessons moments that aren’t too preachy. It’s the sort of movie that doesn’t aim very high but hits the modest mark it does set for itself. The film is pretty much a reflection of star Ben Stiller, who also directed from a screenplay by Steve Conrad based on the iconic James Thurber story. Read more at currentnightandday.com

Mayor for the evening By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For his favorite part of the night, third-grade student Quinn McConahay banged the gavel to officially end the Westfield government City Council meeting on April 14. As “Mayor for the Evening,” Quinn got a front-row seat to local government as he joined Mayor Andy Cook in presiding over the meeting. “I was a little nervous,” Quinn said. “I got to sit with the city council … I liked hitting the gavel.” Quinn, the son of David and Laura McConahay, is a student at Carey Ridge Elementary School. During the school’s PTO Winter Carnival, the McConahays won the silent auction item for Quinn. “We’re not politically involved people and thought this would be a learning experience for him,” David said. “He got to experience government.” During the meeting, Quinn proposed having dessert served at all elementary schools and the intermediate school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Council President Jim Ake received a motion to support of the proposal, which was unanimously approved by the council. “I usually have dessert once a year at my school,” Quinn said, adding that dirt pudding is served on the school’s anniversary. Before the meeting, Quinn and Cook had dinner at J. Razzo’s where he tried squid for the first time.

“It was a lot of fun. I’ve met him before,” Quinn said. “I’ve been in the same class with Owen (Cook’s grandson) for three years.” “It was a great experience to meet Quinn and talk local politics with him. He’s a bright third-grader who really took an interest in government. Quinn’s interest in local politics and how the system works just shows what a great school system we have here in Westfield,” Cook said, adding it was the second time he participated in a “Mayor for the Evening” event.

City Council recap

Current in Westfield

www.currentinwestfield.com

Compiled by Robert Herrington

What happened: Contract for inspection services What it means: The city will be contracted by Citizens Energy of Westfield for sewer and water inspections. Public Works Director Ken Alexander said the time and materials contract could provide $250,000 of revenue in the first year. He said city employees previously did the professional inspections prior to the utility sale. “It’s a great opportunity for us to keep staff employed and a revenue stream to improve infrastructure,” Alexander said.

Alexander

What’s next? Alexander said the city’s billing rate is $60 per hour and proceeds will be available for the council to use at its discretion.

What happened: Bridgewater development text amendment What it means: 21st Amendment Liquors is requesting a change to the sign ordinance for its new store at the northeast corner of Carey Road and 146th Street. The current maximum allowance for wall mounted signs in 16 inches. 21st Amendment has requested that height be extended to 24 inches.

What’s next? The amendment will have a public hearing at the Westfield Advisory Plan Commission meeting on May 5.

MILLIONS OF

What happened: Transfer of funds What it means: $46,566,737.42 will be transferred from the city’s general fund to the newly established Infrastructure Improvement Fund. Funds, which come from the utility sale and proceeds from its investment, will be used for the city’s infrastructure improvement program.

What’s next? By establishing the fund, the proceeds will be available to the clerk-treasurer to pay for needs as approved by the city council.

What happened: Resolution approving the Americans with Disabilities Act What it means: The council has previously adopted policies regarding the ADA and its compliance and has now been presented with an updated policy reflecting any and all amendments to the ADA. City attorney Brian Zaiger said it is a boilerplate resolution from the federal government.

What it means: This the second in a series of annexations in Chatham Hills. Phase II is 136 acres at the southwest corner of Cox Avenue and Tomlinson Road and adjacent to the existing corporate limits along the southern boundary.

What’s next? The ordinance was unanimously approved.

WEEKEND.

At Conner Prairie, we’re inspiring kids to ask new questions about the world around them through 11 incredible experience areas. Come out and explore acres and acres of interactive awesomeness. It’s more than you remember. And an experience they’ll never forget!

What’s next? Zaiger said adoption, which occurred April 14, is necessary to be compliant and to receive federal funds for infrastructure needs.

What happened: 100 percent voluntary annexation

Shamrockin’ for a cure

Commentary by Det. Scott Clouse

The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life movement unites people throughout the globe in order to celebrate the lives of people city who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against the disease. Each year, City of Westfield employees take part in the Relay initiative to raise much-needed funds and awareness to help finish the fight against cancer. Each participant’s reason for walking is as unique as their own experience with cancer. Scott Clouse, a detective with the Westfield Police Dept., has battled cancer several times and has organized the city’s Relay team, called “Shamrockin’ for a Cure.” Why is Relay for Life so important for you? “I was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago. It is stage 4 and chemo and biological treatments have been successful in that my lung cancer and where it originally spread to are both gone. Recently, the cancer returned in another area. However, I finished those treatments last week and feel the best I ever have. I thank God for taking control of my life. It has truly been an amazing journey so far.” What are your goals? “I want to make this the best Relay event the City of Westfield has been involved in. I want to show our employees and their families that are battling or surviving cancer that we care. I want

to show the community we serve we care for them, too. Wouldn’t it be neat to get at least 50 percent of the city employees signed up? Think of the impact we could have. I have challenged my brothers and sisters at the police department to a 100 percent sign up. This is our time to show everyone the hearts of Westfield city employees. I know they are pretty huge!” What has the response been like so far? “The list of helpers is growing and the support of the employees of this city is overwhelming and awesome. I could not do it all without help from Sgt. Billy Adams, Officer Eric Grimes, and Gary Harling and Scott Wolfe from the WFD as co-captains. In traffic enforcement, we regularly did a blitz where we saturate areas and target drunk driving and speeding/reckless driving. Shamrockin’ for A Cure is going to be an all-out blitz on cancer through our efforts. “This city has been my home for 14 years and WOW, what a home and family I have had! The city of Westfield is going to shine bright and we will be able to show support and help to so many this year. Thanks to everyone who is getting involved!”

THE CARE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

Meet your teacher, Eric Rauch

BRANDON MILLER’S

BUTLER BASKETBALL CAMP

Grade/subject: Westfield High School, AP biology and biology Number of years teaching: 16 Background/schooling: Franklin County High School, Brookville, Ind.; B.S. Secondary Education, Marian University; M.A. Educational Leadership, Indiana Wesleyan University; and Principals License Program, Indiana Wesleyan University. Why did you become a teacher? I have always enjoyed serving others and making a difference. Teaching was the one thing that I knew every day that I could have a positive impact on people. I also had a high school chemistry teacher, Mr. Heim, who challenged me every day and pushed me to go out of my comfort zone in learning. I am forever grateful for that experience and hope I can pass that experience on to my students. I want to be the teacher that I would want in front of my own kids, everyday! What goals do you have for your students? I want every student to come into our class, realize their potential, and then make sure they achieve it! That will mean they are challenged like never before, but with great challenge comes great reward and self-fulfillment. What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? The first thing that all parents should do is enjoy watching their children grow up and encourage unique experiences. Academically, I encourage all parents to take an active role in their child’s education and support them without enabling them. Help teach them importance of profound learning for a lifetime. What is your favorite movie? Hoosiers! Who is your favorite musician or band? Zac Brown Band or Matt Maher. What’s something your students might not know about you? Besides boys’ varsity basketball for 15 years, I have coached baseball, volleyball, golf and track at the high school or college level.

Officials are expecting 1.5 million visitors annually. Just a month into its soft opening, Grand Park has already seen almost 50,000 visitors – 95 percent of those are from out of town. So what kind of effect is that having on local business? “For local business, there is an air of excitement in Westfield,” said Julie Sole, Westfield Chamber of Commerce executive director. “Whether it is an existing business, some of which are contemplating ways to accommodate the added volume of customers by perhaps extending hours or opening an extra day, or a new business that has recently made the decision to move to Sole the area based on the increased activity in the city, all are anticipating and looking forward to the growth they will experience as a result of Grand Park’s success.” Overall, the affect Grand Park is having on the neighboring communities has been great. Most places are seeing an increase in weekend business due to the large numbers of visitors in the area and from what most businesses are predicting, it is only going to get better.

At the city level, hospitality coordinator Rhonda Daly said she has heard and seen the impact of Grand Park which is helping Westfield sell itself. “It’s absolutely having a huge impact on the surrounding businesses. Especially the restaurants, you see teams in uniforms because of the play at Grand Park,” she said. “What’s most exciting is not just the volume of people, but the minimizing of glitches, having never done this before.” To assist the community, Daly has been asked to inform businesses about scheduling at Grand Park so they are prepared for large events. “That’s what I am doing right now, sending weekly or a couple Daly weeks advance notice to help them with scheduling and supplies,” she said.“We are also getting maps out so visitors know where everything is located.” While Daly is not permitted to share details, she said the opening has increased interest from various restaurants and hotels. “As the numbers grow, so does the interest. They (perspective businesses) have been waiting to see the data to sell the idea to the corporate offices. We knew it was going to be popular. Now everybody is seeing just how popular,” she said.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Is Pence priming the pump for run? Did it strike you, too, as interesting, if not semi-curious, that Gov. Mike Pence spoke last week at the notable Hotel Adlon by Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate? He ripped Russian aggression and fairly demanded the White House bring back the mothballed missile-defense shield for Eastern Europe. He was taking a break from a privately funded trade mission to Germany. Pence seizing the moment – even though his comments were right on point and delivered with force – certainly looked to us as an opportunity to get some face time and elevate awareness in case he decides to chase the presidency in 2016. Last year, we wrote in this space when the subject of a possible President Pence came to light that he needed to make more inroads in the Hoosier State. In the interim he has done that on several fronts, and so maybe it is time for him to begin thinking about casting his bid for 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. We’re just not sure the awareness is “there” yet, but we’re not stating that it couldn’t happen. It’s just fascinating to us that he would interrupt the trade mission to deliver his comments. We all should stay tuned to this one. ••• Westfield City Council is in the midst of considering changing its ordinance on food trucks in the city, especially if the owners or operators are from Westfield. We agree with this, but we’d like to see it extended to all food trucks. It’s a service to residents and event attendees, and it also is a nice incremental revenue stream for the city. ••• We commend the city on its efforts to attract sponsorships for its events.

Breaking good

Commentary by Terry Anker

Since high school decades ago, Spring Break has been a ritual. Some years were certainly more elaborate and others more austere. But annually. just as the icy grip of winter was about to release us, a short vacation would inject the strength to endure a few more cold and grey days back home. With marriage, my bride accepted that our holiday time would have to be split between the traditional summer retreat and my much-desired late winter break. And as the kids joined our family, they, too, would travel along first in a stroller. then on their own power. We have educated ourselves in the historic cities of the North America and Europe. We’ve sunned ourselves on the beaches and pool decks of resorts and hotels specifically built for such activities. And, we’ve enjoyed learning together, sharing together and being together. When time and budgets would constrain us, we’d commit to staying in our own home but acting as if we were gone. We visited parks and museums that

we’d not seen and we ate foods dictated by whim and not nutrition. When in some far flung destination, we’d work to enjoy the culture local scenery. Not every trip was perfect. In fact, they would often be quite real. Missed flights and lost sleep would lead to cranky behavior – mostly in me but sometimes in others. But even as much as we looked forward to our departures, we’d begin to anticipate our returns. In the passing few days we’d shared adversity, broken bread, relaxed and been wondered by the vastness and, at the same time, great similarity of the world. This year marked our family’s final Spring Break with everyone at home and living fulltime under the same roof. Have we mastered breaking good? I long for more practice.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “I’ve got someone who will go down as one of the best VP s in history.”

- President Obama on Vice President Joe Biden

Could a new way to vote be coming to Hamilton County? At the April 14 meeting, Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger mentioned the idea of universal precincts. “It would save us a huge amount of money,” he said. The idea for universal precincts is simple: keep voting convenient and cost-effective. “It’s harder and harder to find locations within precincts,” attorney Mike Howard said. One way to utilize universal precincts is to step up a number across the county and voters can then attend any polling place. Maybe one near your work is more convenient – or even better, you aren’t stuck at the place that always has a line out the door on Election Day. While voting numbers are the highest during presidential years (typically 70 to 80 percent in Hamilton County), Dillinger said the county “doesn’t need 180 precincts.” With universal precincts, the number of polling places is decreased greatly – but the smaller number means less costs. The 2011 general election cost Hamilton County residents $86,503.47 for 15.9 percent of registered voters. The county paid $10,117.50 for its portion of elections costs but the rest of the tab was passed along to municipalities. In Westfield, the right to vote for mayor and city council District 3 representative cost taxpayers $14,812 for 4,153 ballots (21.7 percent of registered voters). Kathy Richardson Hamilton County elections administrator said municipal elections are the only time costs are applied to cities. Richardson said direct costs for municipalities having an election include poll workers, janitors, supply kits, rent, meals, postage for absentee ballots and poll lists – essentially anything that can be directly assessed to them. “Everything else is pulled together and prorated,” she said, adding those fees include ballot counters, machine setup, MicroVote usage, legal advertising, election board and canvas board. No changes will be made prior to May 6 but at least the discussion lines are open.

Break for beauty enhances attitude Commentary by Danielle WIlson You may recall that I stayed put for Spring Break while my husband and four children headed south to frolic in the sand humor and surf of Florida’s west coast. To help numb the sting of being abandoned for tropical paradise, I decided to treat myself to a day of beauty, or more precisely, an hour of cheap “fixes.” First up, my god-awful nails. I have rather sausage-like fingers with flat, dry nail beds, so I usually try to keep them on the down low. I also hate the expense of a manicure when I inevitably chip the enamel within 10 minutes of leaving the salon. But something had to be done; I’m a teacher who spends half my day pointing at numbers on a board. For the sake of the children, then, I opted for a more practical solution. Plastic press-ons, of course. So I popped into CVS to peruse their offerings and finally decided on a $6 set of Perfectly Perfect French in “really-short”. But I’ll be damned if those little suckers were easy to apply! Between gluing pieces of my skin together and eliminating air bubbles under the nail, I wasted a solid 45 minutes trying to get my hands to look “normal.” Eventually, my persistence did pay off. My fingers look longer, my nails look healthy and clean, and I find myself rat-tat-tatting on every solid surface I come into contact

with. I haven’t figured out how to remove them yet (the directions were somewhat sketchy), but so far I love my potentially permanent fake talons. First problem semi-solved, I decided to next tackle my pasty-white Ginger skin. Back in the 1980s, four visits to a tanning bed would have fixed me right up, but now that I’m older, I can’t possibly risk, as my Mama would say, “Gettin’ the cancer”. So I opted for a spray tan, and as luck would have it, my visit was free thanks to an April special. Was I overwhelmed and confused as a lovely 20-something explained the application order of lotions followed by the four different “spray” stances so as to achieve maximum coverage and color? A tad. Did I briefly have skin in an Oompa-Loompish shade of orange? Affirmative. And are my palms five times darker than my shins? Unfortunately, yes. But can anyone now mistake me for an Irish vampire? No! Or at least not for the next five to seven days. In the end, my one hour of beauty did wonders for my appearance, and more importantly, my attitude. Peace out.

Self-deposit box Commentary by Dick Wolfise I love where I bank. It’s a branch inside of a big supermarket. I can make a modest withdrawal, then go, and blow every penny humor in the cookie aisle. The tellers at the window appreciate me. More importantly, they occasionally laugh at my jokes. And they know exactly how much I have in my savings, so they can’t be doing it for the money. Apparently, I no longer have to visit the bank several times a week to make deposits. Instead, I can do it by simply clicking a photo of the check with my smart phone, a transaction that can be completed in the privacy of my home. All I needed to do was download an app, regardless that it would seriously cut into the quality time I spend with the only four people in Indiana who, at 9:05 in the morning, find me even mildly amusing. I couldn’t wait to try this. My wife was very suspicious of the new system as she often is of high-tech stuff. “Think of the app like a pneumatic tube at the drive-up window,” I told her. I didn’t have a clue what that meant. Ditto, Mary Ellen. “Just hold the check steady and I’ll take a photo of it,” I instructed my wife, as I grabbed the camera phone. “Not the way I look, Dick. Wait until I put on some make-up.” “You’re not going to be in the picture, Mary Ellen. They just want the check.”

“Don’t they need a photo ID?” “Very funny. OK, I’ll hold the check at arm’s length and snap it myself.” I handed the cell phone immediately to my wife for her approval. “Is that a good picture of the check?” I asked. “No, but it’s a great photo of your thumb. At least I hope it’s your thumb.” I was determined to do this correctly, so I taped the check to the fridge, stood back and tried again. I didn’t get quite what I wanted, but I now had a great shot of me staring blankly at a refrigerator door. I think this selfie thing could catch on. I tried a few more times, but I kept getting error messages that my photos were fuzzy, the camera wasn’t steady, or the amount wasn’t legible. I never got this kind of flak from the bank, so why was I putting myself through this? I went back to my branch and told the entire staff that I preferred their outstanding customer service to using some cell phone gadgetry. I plan to continue banking there on a regular basis. Unless, of course, I can find an app that will laugh at my jokes.

Civic Theatre actors rehearse for their performance of “Les Miserables.” (Staff photo)

‘Les Miserables’ a massive undertaking for Civic

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

“Les Miserables” is anything but a slow-paced show. Sure, the production lasts three hours, but with the constant set changes, heated battles and emotional revelatheatre tions, the audience at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre might need a minute to catch their breath. That’s not even considering the actors and musicians. Unlike some other musicals, there’s no spoken-word acting in this show. The actors’ vocal chords will be tested - even for such a large, seasoned cast. “It’s absolutely at a high pitch,” said Director Robert Sorbera. “The vocal capacity is at such a high level for the whole show.” From April 25 to May 10, Civic Theater will be putting on one of the most well-known musicals in history. “Les Miserables” is a tale of redemption that follows a peasant named Jean Valjean during the French Revolution. He spends years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread, but he decides to break free and live a new life under a new name. He is relentlessly pursued by a police inspector named Javert. Although it was already a famous show, it’s gained even more notoriety after a 2012 film version was nominated for eight Oscars, including

Best Picture. But don’t expect this version to be a carbon copy if you’ve seen it before. “Some people think acting is about turning into something, but you can’t turn into something you are not,” Sorbera said. “So every cast is different, and you see their unique personalities become a part of the character. It would be impossible to be a copycat of other versions.” “Les Miserables” is a huge undertaking from a production design standpoint, so Sorbera said they started as early as they could on the sets. “It’s an epic show, a huge undertaking,” said Dan Scharbrough, a Civic Theatre veteran who plays several characters in the show. “And I don’t like this term, but I’ll say, from a community theater scale, this is one of the largest productions you’ll see outside of a professional company anywhere in the country. The facility, the budget, the set design. The production values are fantastic for this show.” Of the main roles, Matt Branic plays Jean Valjean, Paul Nicely plays Javert, Nathalie Cruz plays Fatine, Joe Doyel plays Marius and Virginia Vasquez Voight plays Cosette. And even if you’ve seen the show before, Patrick Clements, who plays Enjolras, said it will be a whole new experience. “I’d love to see people refresh their love of their show,” he said. “Maybe you’ll leave with a different view on the show.”

Butler Ballet has been around since 1951, and, at the moment, it claims to be the only ballet company in the city that is performing fully staged classical works. Executive Director Larry Attaway said that every year the directed spring performance is a classical piece. “This year it happens to be the 20th century ballet ‘Cinderella,’” he said. “It’s based on an original French fairytale.” The story has been told and retold in many forms, but the ballet is based on the traditional tale. Attaway said, “The moral is if you are kind to everyone, you will be rewarded.” According to Attaway, the Butler Ballet has several classical pieces in its repertoire that it rotates each year. “Every year we bring forward a different classical approach for our students so they have a different experience,” he said. It takes the work of all the staff and students to pull off such a graceful and enjoyable production. “I am an executive director of the company

Seven ways to fool yourself Commentary by Adam Cmejla The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once said that “nothing is as difficult for people as not deceiving themselves.” Finance But while most self-delusions are relatively costless, those relating to investment can come with a hefty price tag. We delude ourselves for a number of reasons, but one of the principal causes is a need to protect our own egos. So we look for external evidence that supports the myths we hold about ourselves, and we dismiss those facts that are incompatible. Psychologists call this “confirmation bias” — a tendency to select facts that suit our own internal beliefs. A related ingrained tendency, known as “hindsight bias,” involves seeing everything as obvious and predictable after the fact. These biases, or ways of protecting our egos from reality, are evident among many investors every day and are often encouraged by the media. Here are seven common manifestations of how investors fool themselves: “Everyone could see that market crash coming.” Have you noticed how people become experts after the fact? But if “everyone” could see a correction coming, why wasn’t “everyone” profiting from it? “I only invest in ‘blue-chip’ companies.” People often gravitate to the familiar and to shares they see as solid. But a company’s profile and whether or not it is a good investment are not necessarily correlated. Better to diversify. “I’m waiting for more certainty.” The emotions triggered by volatility are understandable, but acting on those emotions can be counterproductive. Uncertainty goes with investing. Historically, long-term discipline has been rewarded.

“I know about this industry, so I’m going to buy the stock.” People often assume that success in investment requires a specialist’s knowledge of a sector. However, that information is usually already in the price. Trust the market instead. “It was still a good call, but no one saw this coming.” Isn’t that the point? You can rationalize a stock-specific bet as much as you like, but events or external influences can conspire against you. Spread your risk instead. “I’m going to restrict my portfolio to the strongest economies.” If an economy performs strongly, that will no doubt be reflected in stock prices. What moves prices is news. And news relates to the unexpected. So work with the market. “OK, it was a bad idea, but I don’t want to sell at a loss.” We can put too much faith in individual stocks, and holding onto a losing bet can mean missing opportunities elsewhere. Portfolio structure affects performance. This is by no means an exhaustive list. But that’s why even experienced investors engage advisors who know them, and who understand their circumstances, risk appetites and long-term goals. The role of that advisor is to listen to and acknowledge our very human fears, while keeping us in the plans we committed to at our most lucid and logical state of mind. We will always try to fool ourselves. But to quote a piece of folk wisdom, the essence of self-discipline is to do the important thing rather than the urgent thing.

DISPATCHES 5 blue-chip stocks to avoid for now - These aren’t the “easy” stocks to avoid, like the J.C. Penneys and RadioShacks of the world. Instead, these are blue-chip stocks that might look attractive on the surface, but where the risks outweigh the potential returns. 1) Whole Foods – the company’s last earnings report featured revenues and profits that came in below expectations, and the company lowered guidance for 2014. 2) AT&T - With a dividend well above two times that of the broader market, the stock looks like a screaming buy, but income investors are also taking on stock market risk in exchange for the yield. Just this year, AT&T shares have shed 6.8 percent, which has already more than erased the return from dividends. 3) Anheuser-Busch InBev has gained 6 percent in the past year, lagging both the consumer staples sector and the market as a whole. But U.S. beer sales fell in 2013, with light beers taking the biggest hit while craft beers grabbed a bigger share of the pie. And beer is losing ground relative to both wine and spirits in the United States, particularly among young people. 4) BHP Billiton - Anyone who has tried to position for a rebound in resource stocks knows the frustrating false dawns that have occurred in recent years. BHP stock has provided yet another head-fake this year, surging in early February before reversing course in the past several weeks. 5) IBM - has been performing well of late, having gained nearly 7 percent since the end of January, but it has gone nowhere since late 2011.

Report: Public pensions in jeopardy - Here’s a scary retirement prediction: 85 percent of public pensions could fail in 30 years. That’s according to the largest hedge fund firm in the world, Bridgewater Associates, which runs $150 billion for pensions and other institutions like endowments and foundations. Public pensions have just $3 trillion in assets to cover liabilities that will balloon to $10 trillion in future decades, Bridgewater said. To make up the difference, the firm said pensions will need to earn about 9 percent per year on their investments. But Bridgewater estimates pension funds are more likely to make 4 percent. If that’s true, the vast majority of retirement systems will run out of money because they will continue to pay out more than they take in. SOURCE: Yahoo Finance

Be safe, get tested

Commentary by Kirk Forbes

You may not know it, but April is Sexually Transmitted Disease Awareness Month. The other thing you may not know wellness is if you have an STD. According to the CDC, one in two sexually active young people will get an STD by age 25 and may not even know it. The United States currently has the highest rates of STDs of any other nation in the developed world. These figures aren’t meant to scare you, but simply to make you aware of how prevalent STDS are. The good news is you can get tested. If you’re a woman, don’t assume that you’re receiving STD testing every time you have a gynecologic exam or Pap test. Regardless of your gender and age, if you think you need STD testing, request it from your doctor. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and mention specifically what infections you think you might have. Also, ask your doctor specifically for a Roche Cobas HPV test during your next PAP exam. Women are actually more likely to contract

DISPATCH Diet critical - New research shows that a healthy diet is crucial after being diagnosed with breast cancer. A recent survey that lasted over a period of 9.6 years found that 56 percent of women died from non-breast cancer related causes, and those with better diets had a 42 percent lower risk of non-cancer related cause. - Womenshealth.com

IU Health North makes visits easier

STDs than men are, but they’re also less likely to notice the symptoms. STD symptoms can be less apparent on female genitalia and because women often confuse STD symptoms for less serious issues, like a yeast infection. Sexually transmitted infections often have more longerterm consequences for women. They can lead to infertility, cause cervical cancer, and pregnant women can pass STDs to their unborn babies. According to the CDC, the nation’s STD epidemic is mainly due to HPV and chlamydia. That’s good and bad news. On one hand, chlamydia is easily cured with antibiotics, and there’s an extremely effective vaccine to prevent HPV transmission. However, not all young people in America are getting their HPV shots, even though the CDC urges parents to vaccinate their children — both girls and boys — before they reach their early 20s, preferably around the ages of 11 or 12 before they become sexually active. Certain strains of HPV can develop into cervical cancer, which kills more than 4000 women every year in the United States. Take charge of your health this month and take the opportunity to get tested. Early detection and treatment is the key.

editorial@youarecurrent.com Indiana University Health North Hospital began operating its patient transportation shuttle on April 21. The shuttle, a covered eight-seat golf cart, will be used to transport hospital and Medical Office Building patients and guests from the parking lot to the building entrances and back to their vehicles. The shuttle operates 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays. The patient shuttle program is the result of the first internal fundraising effort by the office of philanthropy, which launched at IU Health North Hospital in July 2013. IU Health North Hospital physicians, associates and volunteers raised funds internally to purchase the golf cart to provide the new transportation service to patients and guests. “The new shuttle service is intended to benefit our patients and guests by making their visit to our hospital a bit easier,” said Tracy Miller, director of the office of philanthropy. “This program exemplifies the type of donor funded services we hope to continue adding to help our patients and further our mission of fostering the health of our community.”

Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia is one of the world’s most intriguing buildings. Its dome is a marvel of sixth century engineering and its icons are a visible record of the area’s still tumultravel tuous religious history. In 527, with the Western Roman Empire in collapse, Justinian I became the Eastern (Byzantine) emperor in Constantinople. When a rebellion destroyed a small Constantinople church named Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom), Justinian ordered a new church built on its site. Ten thousand workers spent six years building a new Hagia Sophia to reflect Justinian’s dream of returning the Empire to its former glory. Luxurious materials, including marble columns from the temple to Artemis at Ephesus, came from throughout the Empire. A 100 feet diameter dome was supported on 40 arched windows ingeniously resting on a square base. Icons helped illiterate worshippers understand Biblical teachings. When completed in 537, Hagia Sophia became the seat of the Archbishop (“Patriarch”) of Constantinople In 726, Emperor Leo III, likely influenced by Islamic beliefs, ordered the destruction of Hagia Sophia’s icons as forbidden “graven images”. The icons were restored in 843, when Emperor Michael III repudiated the “iconoclasts”. In 1054, the Arch-

bishop of Rome sent an emissary to the Hagia Sophia to excommunicate the Archbishop of Constantinople, dividing Christians between Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox. Crusaders sent east by Catholic kings captured Constantinople in 1204 and carried icons and relics looted from Hagia Sophia back to Venice. In 1261, Byzantine forces recaptured Hagia Sophia and added golden icons incorporating a style still common in Eastern Orthodox churches. Muslims under Mehmed II captured Constantinople from the Byzantines in 1453, renamed the city “Istanbul” and converted Hagia Sophia, at the time the largest church in the world, into a mosque. The icons were again covered, four minarets were added and a golden mihrab marked the direction of Mecca. After the Islamic Ottoman Empire was defeated in World War I, Hagia Sophia came under control of the Republic of Turkey, which uncovered the icons and made Hagia Sophia a museum. Some Turks insist that Hagia Sophia should again be a mosque, with the icons again covered. Stay tuned. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Hunting for morels

Commentary by Noah Herron

Morel season is here and they will be popping up now through the end of May. Although there are many thoughts on the Gardening how good this season will be; the general consensus is that with this very cold winter and rainy spring we are due to have one of the best morel season ever. Like a good magician, good morel hunters will never tell you their secret location but I can offer advice on when and where to start. When to hunt? Morel season is generally from mid-April to mid-May in Central Indiana. When soil temperatures reach 50-55 degrees morels will start growing. You can also keep an eye on lilac bushes. When they are just ready to bloom, some of the morels will be getting ready to harvest. Some people also use the first dandelions popping up as a sign for morels being ready to harvest. Where to hunt? Some of the best places to look include forest floors with elm trees, especially dead elms. The very best places to look are locations with several large trees have been blown down or toppled from old age. These events open the forest floor to sunlight. And in the case of blown down trees, the earth is often disturbed. This frequently stimulates the growth of mushrooms. Morel hunting is like finding free money on the ground. Average pricing on morels is around $35 per pound. If you find more than you can eat, you can give them to friends or sell to strangers. Also if you stumble upon a mother lode of morels always remember to leave a few behind to help stimulate future mushrooms to grow. That way

you can come back to more. Lastly, always be 100 percent certain of what you are eating. If it’s your first time, take someone that is experienced and knows which mushrooms are edible and which ones are not. Always soak your mushrooms in salt water for 24 hours to remove any possible bugs. Good luck! Noah Herron is owner of Urban Farmer Garden Center, 4105 W. Ind. 32, Westfield.

Dispatch Quick fix for cracked grout – Remove all the loose and cracked grout with a grout saw or Dremel tool and completely vacuum out the gaps. Then apply the caulk and smooth it with a wet finger or plastic spoon. Let the caulk cure for at least 48 hours before allowing anyone or anything on the floor. At most tile specialty shops, you can get or order sanded caulk (most floor grouts are sanded) that will closely match your existing grout color. Incidentally, this fix is only practical for interior tile floors and when the gaps between the tiles are 1/4-in. wide or less. Ultimately, you may still need to stiffen the floor, but in many cases, using sanded caulk will work and save you money and grief.

A decade ago, when “hardscapes” became all the rage, the fine art of landscaping was dismissed. Patios and decks indoors commanded the center of design with little consideration offered to the most important element. Imagine how sterile your wonderful patio would feel without the character of gracious bed-lines, soft evergreens and flowering shrubs. Thanks to the passion of green industry leaders, all things trees, shrubs and perennials are slowing commanding respect. I believe luxury outdoor living spaces and elegant drive up appeal requires well-planned landscapes. Expect to witness an energetic resurgence and me leading the charge. ALLEE This historic Indianapolis home is finely appointed with rich details from the past. The French term allee describes the linear approach we employed that emphasizes the “coming to” or arrival at an architectural feature. It prompted the design for the remaining property with a few fun surprises … bubbling boulders, an abbreviated limestone quarry and decomposed granite fire

pit escape! The traditional clay paver front walk echoes the clay tile roof and is framed by cut Indiana limestone/mortar walls. It transitions through an auto court and massively steps up to an elegant welcoming courtyard with a formal fountain in the center. Brilliant landscaping highlights it all. LAYERS Magnificent plantings are layered on each side of the walk initiating with thousands of profusely flowering spring bulbs bursting in yellows after a boxwood entry. As those begin to fade, the double knockout roses take over and command complete attention. Bill’s passion for a particular crabapple tree throughout the Purdue campus, and appreciation of the vase shape elm caused those to layer up on the outside of the bulbs and roses. Boxwoods and roses were repeated at the front door for clarity. Wondering how to liven up your front door appeal or patio space? It starts with landscaping.

Carpet 101: Terms, styles, materials to know 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? Let’s take a brief moment to go over “Carpeting 101” so you can make an informed decision about the best type of carpeting to put in your space. First, let’s take a minute to go over some carpet vocabulary, just in case you are unfamiliar with carpeting lingo. “Pile” refers to the length of the carpet fibers, a construction characteristic that directly affects the carpet’s look, texture and durability. Long piles often look and feel more luxurious, but they are more difficult to maintain than carpets with short piles. Overall, the look, feel and durability of the carpet will depend on the height and density of the fibers. There are several main types of carpet styles. Plush carpet is probably the most popular style on the home market today. The pile is designed to be flat, which makes the surface of plush carpet feel more cushiony and soft to walk across. There are also textured plush designs, which are more resistant to vacuum marks and footprints. Frieze carpets are made from twisted, textured fibers that are both elegant, durable and an excellent choice for high traffic areas. Berber carpets have seen resurgence in popularity lately due to the carpet’s clean, professional look. This

Nylon carpet, the most common material, can resist staining and is a great choice for high traffic areas. (Submitted photo)

type of carpet it created by looping the carpet fibers into uniform rows; however, it tends to look worn out sooner than other types of carpet. Keep in mind, these aren’t the only types of carpet on the market. They are just a few of the

most popular in homes today. After deciding on the carpet style, you will have to also choose a material. Carpet can be made from a variety of materials, such as: • Wool: A naturally stain-resistant and durable material because it’s made from tightly packed fibers. Made from natural materials, wool is a bit pricier than synthetic materials. • Nylon: It’s the most common carpet material. Nylon is soil resistant, which makes is a great choice for high traffic areas. • Polyester: It’s stain-resistant like nylon, yet not as durable, which means it can be prone to wear and tear if installed in high traffic areas. • Acrylic: This material can mimic the look and soil resistance of wool carpeting for a cheaper price. The first step in any flooring decision calls for you to really think about the function of the room. Tailor your choice based on the amount of foot traffic and activity the carpet will be exposed to. The best carpet choice will not only look great, but also will last for years to come. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.
