City announces endowment fund By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
Paid for by Time for A Change, Cheryl McKinney, Treasurer
Westfield Mayor Andy Cook and representatives from the Legacy Fund announced the establishment of PHILANTHROPY the Westfield Endowment Fund at Open Doors Food Pantry April 16. The $95,000 unrestricted fund will provide grants to organizations within Westfield. It was made possible through a major gift by the Paul and Judy Estridge Family Foundation and other individual donors. “The unrestricted fund will be used to provide grants to the Westfield community. That means those dollars are staying here in this community,” Legacy Fund President Tom Kilian said. “Oftentimes, people are empowered to give to funds tackling issues in their own community, in their own backyard, which is why city funds like this are so important.” “This is a great honor for my wife Judy and I and our entire family to be a part of launching this endowment,” Estridge said. Cook said the establishment of the Westfield Endowment Fund is a huge step for the city. “We are maturing, and I think a city, in

order to mature, needs to have an endowment fund,” Cook said. Cook also announced the city council was committed to giving an additional $10,000 to the fund. Kilian encouraged the community to match that number. The Westfield Endowment Fund will be managed by the Legacy Fund, which is a Central Indiana Community Foundation affiliate serving Hamilton County. Individuals and organizations interested in donating to the Westfield Endowment Fund should contact Legacy Fund Director of Development Brittany Rayburn at brittanyr@cicf.org.

Judge overturns Hamilton County’s sign ordinance By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com With just a few weeks until the primary election, political candidates once again may put their campaign signs in ELECTION Hamilton County rights of way. Hamilton Superior Court Judge William J. Hughes ruled April 11 that the county’s sign ordinance, adopted Feb. 12, is unconstitutional because it restricts some signs — such as political ones — in unincorporated areas but allows commercial signs, which are regulated by a different county code. Rick Sharp, a Carmel resident running for a seat on the Hamilton County Council, filed a lawsuit Feb. 20 challenging the sign ordinance. He said it restricted political free speech and limited chances for lesser-financed candidates to build name recognition. Hughes stated the county has the right to limit signs to improve aesthetics and ensure public safety — two goals stated in the ordinance — but that it didn’t make sense to then allow only certain kinds of signs, especially when content is the determining factor. “Defendants have made no showing whatsoever that, in the unincorporated part of Hamilton County — the vast majority of Hamilton County Right of Way — commercial signs do not also interfere with the County’s asserted interests in improving aesthetics and ensuring safety,” Hughes stated in the ruling. The judge threw out the ordinance for incorporated areas as well, stating in the ruling that it is “over-inclusive for sweeping too much speech within its reach.” “On its face, the Sign Ordinance prohibits a stranded motorist, for example, from placing a sign or row of signs — in the form of flares — around her car on the roadway’s shoulder,” the ruling states. “On this basis, too, the ordinance is constitutionally infirm.” County Commission President Christine Altman, who is running a primary campaign

to keep her seat, said commissioners will meet to determine if they will appeal the ruling. “While we disagree with the court’s interpretation of the ordinance and the law, we respect that the trial court has issued its determination,” she stated in an email. “In the interim, we caution that anyone placing signage in county right of way exercise due caution not to endanger themselves or the traveling public in their placement.” Sharp said he is “very happy” about the ruling, although he doesn’t plan to put his campaign signs in the county’s rights of way until closer to the May 8 election day. “It was a good day for Hamilton County (April 11),” Sharp said. “The First Amendment is alive and well.”

Sheriff candidates talk jail expansion, drugs at public forum By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com More than 100 Hamilton County residents heard firsthand how candidates Eddie Moore, Dennis Quakenbush, ELECTION Mitch Russell and Bill Clifford would handle various topics if elected sheriff. Three candidates currently work for the sheriff’s office. Moore is a commander on the patrol division; Quakenbush is captain of the patrol division; and Clifford is a sergeant. Russell works as chief of security for Riverview Health. Abdul-Hakim Shabazz moderated the event and asked if the sheriff’s department needed more financial resources to keep up with county growth, along with questions about the candidates’ thoughts on school safety, the opioid epidemic and more. Quakenbush said tax dollars were very important to him and that his background in business equips him for handling the department’s financial resources. ‘We all want the best services we can have at the best value,” he said. Clifford said asking citizens for more money isn’t a smart move, and that existing resources could be redirected within the

department. “Certainly, there are things we can do with the things we have. Asking for more from the citizens of Hamilton County isn’t necessarily the best idea,” Clifford said. “Are
there resources we can redirect and laserfocus those resources so we can better serve the citizens? I certainly think so.” The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has jurisdiction over Hamilton Heights schools.
Moore said the most important topic to consider was adequate training with regard to school safety. “That is the secret to keeping our schools as safe as we possibly can, through training,” Moore said. “That is one place we need to be sending our resources. My squad gets trained because I train them, but not all squads are getting the same training and same opportunities. It is all about the training.” Through his involvement with Riverview Health, Russell said he’s seen countless opioid overdose victims come through hospital doors and then exit without a followup from law enforcement. Although Russell can’t contact law enforcement about overdose victims because of HIPAA rules, he said he is running for sheriff to do something about the epidemic. “I chose to run for sheriff because the heroin epidemic affects everybody, every socioeconomic class,” he said. “I can’t solve the problem, but I’m sure going to put a dent in it because it’s killing our kids and our families.” A straw poll was planned for the evening but was not conducted.

Local project among best By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Only 176 students in the world earned every possible point on an AP research project presentation EDUCATION in May 2017. Two of those who accomplished the feat are 2017 Westfield High School graduates Cooper Campbell and Trevor Crupi. Campbell and Crupi are now Purdue University students. Their AP projects were social media-themed. Crupi said his presentation was about Crupi how two different types of news feeds, chronological and algorithmic, on websites and apps impacted how the user interacted with the content. “For example, would Twitter users interact with their feed more if it were an algorithm that reorganized tweets based on what you like?” he said. “For mine, I did an experiment with (Twitter) feeds and wrote an algorithm that re-
organized a user’s Twitter timeline and collected data on how they interacted with certain content.” With help from teachers Dawn Knight and Jennifer Yoder, Crupi said they took his random idea and helped him map it out. “They did a phenomenal job helping me organize my thoughts and make sure I was able to explain everything and communicate all of my ideas and findings easily,” he said. Crupi said after working on the presentation for four months, he found there was a statistically significant increase in user interCampbell action with algorithmic feeds compared to chronological feeds. He is proud of his perfect score. “It’s really cool to be recognized for this AP class, in particular, since it isn’t a class based solely on knowledge,” Crupi said. “It requires a myriad of skills and the ability to be creative and communicate.” Campbell could not be reached for comment.
ClosER, fastER, care is here
A history of river pollution Commentary by David Heighway Earth Day was April 22, and this seems like a good time to look at a Hamilton County environmental failure and HIGHLIGHTS see what we might have IN HISTORY learned from it. The White River at Noblesville had pollution problems from the earliest days of settlement. The first industry in town was Cogswell’s tannery (now the site of the judicial center), which poured waste products into the river in the 1830s. Throughout the 19th century, refuse from the livery stables along Conner Street flowed straight into the river – the Conner Street Bridge wasn’t built until 1930. By the 1870s, there were complaints about the quality of the water. The situation worsened with the industrial growth that came with the 1887 gas boom. One of the first factories that sprang up was the American Strawboard Company plant, which made a type of cheap cardboard from straw. The straw would be broken down with muriatic acid and reformed. Indiana had already been having problems with Strawboard plants polluting rivers, so the state inspected the site in December 1890. Although officials declared it favorable, there were
complaints about water quality by March 1891. In November of 1893, the Indianapolis Water Company had enough of worrying about its supply of water and brought a lawsuit. It complained that there was constant leakage from the refuse ponds where the acid-soaked waste was left to settle. The Strawboard Company agreed to a compromise and ceased running to upgrade the reservoir. The long-feared event finally happened May 30, 1896. The levee between the refuse ponds and the river washed out, releasing an enormous amount of toxic waste. The shore was lined with dead fish. People thought that poisons killed the fish, but a scientist explained that a chemical reaction was taking oxygen out of water and fish were suffocating. A fine was levied against the plant of $250 and costs. By October, the Strawboard Company had purchased more acreage and was building larger refuse ponds.

Co-parenting after a divorce can be challenging enough, but trying to coordinate schedules between parents and a child can often create additional frustration. Summer schedules are typically much different than during the school year and, as summer break is quickly approaching, it is important to be mindful of the challenges of juggling differing schedules. The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines (IPTG) do offer some direction on how to divide a child’s summer vacation, but remember these are just bare-minimum guidelines and that it is best to do what works for the unique needs of the child(ren) and the parents. Plan summer schedules ahead as early as possible. The IPTG require a noncustodial parent to make their summer parenting time selection by April 1st of each year; however, if you are currently in the process of going through a divorce, creating a summer parenting time schedule should be at the top of your to-do list. Summer vacation begins the day after school dismisses for the summer and ends the day before school resumes for the new school year. If you plan to follow the IPTG, for children 5 years and older who follow a traditional school schedule, each parent gets one-half of the child(ren)’s summer vacation. Although summer vacation is to be shared equally between parents, it can be divided in a way which works best for the parents and child(ren). Planning an out-of-town vacation? Regular parenting time essentially flip flops for whichever parent is currently exercising their extended summer parenting time. Get that vacation scheduled and on the books early so the other parent can plan accordingly. When creating a schedule, the IPTG dictate that parents should also consider the other parent’s work schedule, and a parent’s work restrictions should never be used against them. Let the other parent know as early as possible if any employer-imposed restrictions exist that may conflict with a summer parenting schedule, and plan accordingly.
Remember that what’s in the best interest of the child(ren) is most important! A summer parenting plan should be crafted to fit the child(ren)’s specific needs. Consider speaking to your child(ren), especially if they’re older, about their wishes for summer vacation. What may work for a 10-year-old may not work for as well for a 16-year-old. Although a child should never make the ultimate decision as to whether parenting time occurs, it is important to consider a child’s activities and wishes, so they can also enjoy their vacation from school. If your child participated in a particular summer camp or sports league prior to your separation, the divorce should not dictate a significant change. Be mindful fact that academic, extracurricular, and social activities are just as important to the child(ren)’s development, even if it’s during your scheduled parenting time. It is not uncommon for adolescents to have to study more often, to be heavily involved in extracurricular activities (such as sports), or to have varying social activities with friends, and the IPTG recognize that parents should make all reasonable efforts to accommodate that participation. Be flexible and avoid parenting power struggles. Unless an inability to civilly and effectively communicate exists (thereby creating an environment that puts the child(ren)’s well-being at risk), communication with your former spouse is key. Even happily married couples often have differing parenting styles and a separation can intensify these differences. Pick your battles and find agreeable ways to communicate with each other. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

County breaks ground on ramp By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com
146th St.

Lowes Way
Ke ys to ne
Motorists in Carmel and Westfield will soon see a remedy to what many see as one of the biggest traffic headROADS aches along the border between the two cities. Hamilton County broke ground April 13 on a new ramp that will allow motorists to access southbound Keystone Parkway from 146th Street. Currently, motorists can drive north along Keystone and take an exit to get to Lowe’s, Koto’s Japanese Steakhouse, Menards and more. But coming back, there’s no southbound route onto Keystone. Many motorists cut through residential areas, such as Foster Estates, or cut through Clay Terrace, a pedestrian-heavy outdoor mall. Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said it’s one of the biggest projects people have asked for since he took office. “If you’ve ever traveled in the morning during the peak hours on Carey Road, especially during school hours, you’ll see there’s significant backup there,” he said. “A lot of the people who live in these areas take longer alternative routes just to get onto southbound Keystone. This will provide

them convenience to get to work quicker and also get home faster.” Phase I of the project will also connect the northbound Keystone Parkway ramp from 136th Street to the northbound Keystone ramp to Lowes Way and 146th Street. Crews also will change the existing signal at the entrance to Lowes Way to a roundabout. Phase I will cost $10 million and should be complete by 2019. Federal funds will cover approximately 48 percent of the cost and Hamilton County will cover the remaining cost with local tax increment financing funds. In Phase II, Range Line Road will be connected to Lowes Way.

New club features young students in leadership school By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A group of Washington Woods Elementary School students wanted to change the world, so adults got together to give them an avenue to do so. Kiwanis International is a service COVER STORY organization allowing its members to meet the needs of children through local service projects, and the Kiwanis Club of Westfield found a way to do so by directly involving the community’s children. The Kiwanis Club of Westfield began impacting the community a year ago and recently approached WWES Assistant Principal Kristin Parisi about launching a K Kids Club at the elementary. Because Washington Woods is a Leader in Me School, which utilizes Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits program to promote leadership characteristics in children, Parisi thought it was a good fit. “Since we are a Leader in Me school, we do different leadership projects and clubs and activities with children, and we felt like this was a natural fit,” Parisi said. “We chartered our K Kids Club in December (2017) and started meeting in January.” Eleven kids participate in the club. They have already made blankets to donate to the Hamilton County Humane Society. They are planning to donate blankets to Riverview Hospital and also will grow a garden at the school during the summer months. Members of the Kiwanis Club of Westfield will visit the school to help the students construct a raised garden bed for the vegetables when weather permits. “These kids wanted to save the world one puppy at a time,” Parisi said. “The kids wanted to meet all summer long, so the vegetables will be for kids to take home and take to Open Doors or a couple different local churches for food pantries.” Kiwanis Club of Westfield Secretary Laurie Paisley said the club established its subsidiary K Kids Club at WWES for several reasons. Children from the elementary presented to the club about the Leader in Me distinction, and Paisley said the club was impressed. “We were very impressed by that. Paisley Where better to start than an elementary school already teaching (students) about leadership?” Paisley said. “We want to help develop leaders and get them to think outside of themselves and learn how to provide service to others.” Parisi is a member of the Kiwanis Club of Westfield and wanted to help facilitate the trial program at her school, which also served as an avenue to start the club at WWES.

Paisley said the goal is to establish a K Kids Club in all the elementary schools, public and private. However, the
club must recruit more members before it can branch out.
BRIDGING THE GAP The Kiwanis Club of Westfield has two subsidiary clubs – the Key Club at Westfield High School and the K Kids Club at Washington Woods Elementary School. In addition to integrating the K Kids Club at other elementary schools, Kiwanis Club of Westfield Secretary Laurie Paisley said the club wants to bridge the gap between the elementary and high school levels by establishing clubs at the intermediate and middle schools. “What we’re hoping to do is bridge those two clubs
by getting a builders’ club in the intermediate school and middle school, so as these kids grow and go from school to school, they’ll be able to continue in a service leadership program and feed into the Key Club at the high school level,” Paisley said. The Kiwanis Club of Westfield only recently began sponsoring the Key Club at the high school. Prior to the Westfield group’s establishment, the Kiwanis Club of Carmel sponsored the Key Club.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker America’s first president, George Washington, once said, “It is far better to be alone than to be in bad company.” Although Washington made himself sound a bit like one who enjoys his own companionship a fair amount, he does remind us of a pair of important truths. First, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being alone. And second, we should work hard to ensure that we can always find good company. Today, we are awash in non-human entertainments with which to interact. Some of them in the technology world even work to convince us, if we are willing to suspend our disbelief for a moment or two, that we are interacting with other people rather than some highly developed software or device. Still, isn’t human interaction key? Even in a world filled with technology, don’t we need, perhaps crave, the complex and unpredictable company of our fellow human beings? Enter the community leadership development organizations. Big players include Boone County Leadership (November application deadline); Marion County’s Stanley K. Lacy Leadership series (early March 2019); and the Hamilton County Leadership Academy (end of May). Each of these, through rigorous application processes, selects a diverse but cohesive group of young, wouldbe community leaders to spend most of the year learning together about how our communities are built, run and held together. These folks are tutored for the inevitable time when they will take the reins in constructing the road to our future. Interested? Apply! Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

READER’S VIEW Alexander runs for county council Editor, My name is Ken Alexander and I am running for the open District 4 seat on the Hamilton County Council. Many people know me from my professional career in construction or as a department director for the City of Westfield while others know me as Jenni’s husband or as dad to Andy, Katelynn and Connor. If you don’t know me, I wanted to tell you briefly why I decided to pursue this office and why I believe I’m the best person to represent you on the Hamilton County Council. Over the past years, I’ve grown tired of the lack of civility and the disrespect on display whenever politics becomes the subject of conversation. This is neither productive nor representative of our Founders’ vision. Like many of you, I work in a world of conflict resolution, and trying to pacify many often leads to not satisfying anyone. Leadership requires vision, creativity in problem-solving and a willingness to make difficult decisions to get the best results for stakeholders. Being successful in this process starts with an understanding that we all have something that unifies us, be it a team success, project completion or something
bigger. At the county level, the stakeholders are our residents and business owners, and the vision that unifies us is making sure our community has the highest standard of living. My experience in both the private and public sector makes me uniquely qualified for this role. I’m an unabashed cheerleader for our community – I think Hamilton County is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. But to take it to another level – my approach to life and work is one of collaboration and respect. As you look at politics at the state and national level – and, unfortunately, in some ways right here in Hamilton County — that attitude and approach is sorely lacking. While my experience alone positions me to be the best steward for understanding the fiscal realities of our county, my approach to conflict resolution and problem-solving truly sets my candidacy apart. If you would like to learn more, please visit my website, electkenalexader.com. I look forward to working for you. Vote for Ken Alexander May 8. Sincerely, Ken Alexander, Westfield
It’s a miracle! I returned home from a professional development weekend to a house and a family which both had their shtick together! Woohoo! HUMOR Indeed, this is rarely the case when I go out of town. A typical homecoming is accompanied by some choice vocabulary on my part and a swarm of fruit flies over the kitchen sink. The fridge/pantry will resemble a Walmart on the eve of the apocalypse, and at least one kid will have missed a practice or an appointment. It goes without saying that absolutely no dishes or laundry will have been done and that the possibility of discovering dog poop on some carpeted portion of the main floor is high. But when I walked in last night, I was greeted with a “Hi, Mom” and a beautifully uncluttered countertop. The dryer was actually running and there were two, count them two, unexpired gallons of milk just waiting to be enjoyed. My husband Doo reassured me that Tiny Dancer had made it to rehearsals and a scheduled sleepover, and that a son had successfully taken his ACT. Doo had even been in communication with our other daughter who was competing in the color guard nationals in Ohio (point to Doo on that one. I may have forgotten. In my defense, though, I had an entire hotel room, with a king-sized bed, to myself!). So, instead of me passive-aggressively berating everyone while ridding the dining room table of shoes, backpacks and miscellaneous hair accessories – typically the opening scene of “Mommy’s Home” – I calmly and lovingly greeted my dear family. For once, I was happy to be back. Truly a miracle! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

charities. With a caring heart, she is an aggressively enterprising person and an active citizen. I saw Mrs. Ailor’s recent television interview regarding the Riverfront District. She never mentioned her candidacy and was speaking as a concerned citizen not as a trustee candidate. I knew David Gill during his entire 16-year tenure as township trustee and he did an outstanding job at the position. As a threetime incumbent running for re-election, Mr. Gill never ran an unopposed primary election as Ms. (Danielle Carey) Tolan did four years ago and was ‘given’ the trustee position. Marla is a highly-focused and detailoriented individual who will make an exceptional Washington Township Trustee. Julie and I will be voting for Marla Ailor May 8 and recommend her candidacy to all other Washington Township citizens who appreciate energetic, active and well-informed representation.

READERS’ VIEWS Teachers say ‘enough is enough’ Editor, All across the nation, public school teachers are agitating and striking for better pay and improved funding for schools. They’re demonstrating that quality education is worth fighting for. Few professions require so much preparation (most teachers now have master’s degrees) and ongoing effort – both during and after the normal workday – and are of such critical importance to our children and the long-term health of the nation. Public education has been viewed as the most important civic institution in our nation, yet teaching is one of the lowest-paid professions. What we’re seeing today is the result of the crisis brought on by the movement to privatize public education. It’s the perfect example of a self-fulfilling prophesy. If you want a pre-determined outcome – the failure of public education – you act to assure that outcome. You drastically reduce funding at the federal, state and local levels, which increases class size and decreases student achievement. You keep salaries low to discourage the best and brightest from entering the field. You have no funds to purchase updated text books and curriculum materials; some in use today are falling apart with age and use. You leave it up to teachers to purchase classroom sup-
plies because funds are so tight that even basics like paper are sometimes rationed. Some buildings are forced to remain in serious disrepair, putting students and staff at risk. You use pension funds as the state piggy bank. You see to it that educational decisions are made by politicians, not educators, so you work to keep school board members as elected officials. You see to it that teachers and administrators are excluded as much as possible from the decision-making process. You demonize unions and their members. Finally, after all this damage is done, you emphasize standardized testing as the only measure of success. And just to assure a final death blow, appoint and confirm a totally unqualified secretary of education who has never taken a course in the subject, whose children never attended public schools and whose expressed goal is to privatize the “failing” public school system. Whatever problems exist in the world, they will not be solved without the benefit of quality education. It’s worth the price because without it, the cost to all of us will be immeasurable.

Three criteria required for Hamilton County Council Editor, As I said when I decided not run for a third term for county council, I would support candidates, financially and otherwise, who share what I believe to be the things most important to the taxpayers of Hamilton County. To that end, I believe there are many things to consider, but to me they can be framed into three criteria: 1. Does this person have a track record of showing the backbone to stand up for what is right, even in the face
of adversity? Has this person proven to be a true conservative? 3. When elected, will this official be beholden only to the taxpayers of Hamilton County? I truly believe that Christine Pauley has checked “yes” to all three boxes. That is why I am supporting her for Hamilton County Council District 4, my present seat. Respectfully, Paul Ayers Hamilton County Council District 4

When I was a kid, I collected coins. I’d stuff a handful in my pocket and jangle my way down to the store to buy HUMOR candy, or I’d get bank wrappers in assorted colors and carefully count out the 40 quarters or the 50 dimes required to fill a roll, which I’d save for larger purchases. The thrill never wore off for me — until recently. A container in my office held the collection of the past few years, which would be used toward an upcoming vacation. I took the sealed jar into my bank, assuming the teller would toss my hard-earned change into a high-tech coin counter, then sweeten my bank account with this windfall. Instead, I got the bad news: “Mr. Wolfsie, we can count this for you, but we’ll have to subtract 7 percent for administrative costs and wear and tear on our counting machine.” “You’re going to charge customers to put money into your bank?

and counted a total of $432.50. Now, I knew exactly how much change I had, but I was in the identical predicament I was in before I added it up. I knew what I had. But the bank wasn’t going to trust me. One option was using the Coinstar machine at the supermarket. They charge 9 percent, but you can get all your money back if you take it in the form of a gift certificate to a restaurant. Nope: I was looking forward to using that cash for a romantic meal and a fine bottle of wine in Italy, not 25 fried catfish specials at MCL. I wondered if I could sell the money on Craigslist or eBay. But how would I word the ad? $432.50 for sale. $410.00 or best offer.* *In fair condition; some scratches and smudges. Hand-counted.

Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s Spring Showcase set for May 20 By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Alexandra Manuel always looks forward to the Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s Spring Showcase. DANCE “It’s nice to get to show your friends and family what you’ve been working on the whole year,” Manuel said. “It’s nice to perform the piece one last time.’’ The Carmel resident will perform her solo piece in the Paquita at the Carmelbased IBC’s Spring Showcase, set for 3 p.m. May 20 at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, 650 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis. Manuel, 14, took first place in the classical and contemporary categories for her juniors group at the Youth American Grand Prix regional competition in Carmel in March. “The second act is all the competition pieces, where’s it’s classical and contemporary,” IBC Executive Director Jenny Okamoto said. “It’s a great opportunity to see a lot of the rising talent.” Carmel resident Quinn Starner, 15, earned first in contemporary and second in classical at the YAGP regional. “I love showing my friends and family what I’ve been working on all year with my classmates,” she said. “We’ve shown how we’ve all improved over the year and how we ended.” Starner said her classical technique has improved the most. Her contemporary dance has improved as well. “(Contemporary instructor) Sergey (Sergiev) has helped me a lot,” Starner said. The first act will feature fairy tales, such as “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Three Little Pigs.” That will be for the dancers ages 3 to 8 years old. “We have costumes that are created special for the show,” IBC founding Artistic Director Alyona Yakovleva-Randall said. There will be new choreography for the approximately 45-minute Act 1. The second act, approximately one hour, will feature upper level dancers who will perform some of their award-winning works from international ballet competitions. Indiana

Ballet Conservatory took first place in the Paquita in the American Dance Company/ Youth International Ballet Competition in St. Petersburg, Fla., in March. There will be a special piano performance arranged and performed on stage by Anatoly Morozov, a 2014 Carmel High School graduate, that will include popular music from “La La Land,” “Westworld” and Vivaldi & Tierson. Yakovleva-Randall will provide original choreography for the piece. “I think it will be about different women characters,” Yakovleva-Randall said. There will be a piece that IBC performed with the Indianapolis Children’s Choir in
March. “The response at the Hilbert (Circle Theatre) was incredible,” Okamoto said. “We want to continue to do events like this. We’ll be doing an event in Cincinnati with ICC. Then, hopefully, with our ’Nutcracker.’ ICC is on the Butler campus and works with the Butler Ballet, but we feel like we can pull them in for a few of our projects.” The Scottish Rite Cathedral is a new performance venue for IBC. “It’s the first time we’ve done it at Scottish Rite,” Okamoto said. “The Cathedral is a fantastic backdrop.” Tickets are $25.

ATI presents Dickens’ work By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Harli Cooper fully embraces her two roles in her first Actors Theatre of Indiana production of “The Mystery of MUSICAL Edwin Drood.” “The idea is so fun,” Cooper said. “The whole premise is a troupe of actors putting on a show so everyone has two roles.” The roles of Rosa Bud and Diedre are quite different. The musical, written by Rupert Holmes, is based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel, which he was working on when he died. ATI presents the show from April 27 to May 13 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “It’s a murder mystery and we don’t know who did the murder officially but some literacy critics have tried to figure it out,” Cooper said. “But the premise of our show is it’s a troupe of actors putting on a show. Because it’s actors putting on a show, the acting part of it is so melodramatic, it’s ridiculous. We’re cracking each other up in rehearsals. It’s going to be so much fun. I’m so excited for audiences to see it because everyone in the cast is just brilliant.” Cooper has been posting on Instagram under atistagelive. Amy Stark, ATI director of

So, I volunteered to take it on.” Cooper, who turns 27 May 10, said she wants to increase ATI’s social media presence with the playful posts. A 2013 Northern Kentucky University graduate from Louisville, Cooper has had stints with several theater groups, including Derby Dinner Playhouse in Clarksville, Ind. For more, visit atistage.org.

This is the place to go for catching the big games, hanging out with friends or just an evening on the town. The best part, though, is the loaded menu.

The Chilean-born singer, songwriter and independent MUSIC recording artist has lived in Indiana for more than 30 years but has performed at venues all around the world, from the U.S. to Spain to Israel.

And my younger brother started playing when he was a teenager with the piano,” Monsalve said. “My family is super musical. My grandfather on my mother’s side was from Spain. He was a dancer and a singer. My father’s side of the family, there were 10 brothers and sisters and they were also very, very musical, so I grew up in a house where we played different instruments.” At age 22, Monsalve began her professional music career in Spain and hasn’t stopped releasing music since.

Blueprint for Improvement: Carmel master bathroom expansion Commentary by Larry Greene
AFTER SOLUTIONS
Before
Background Info: Located in the Valleybrook neighborhood of Carmel, this 1980s home had a master bathroom that had never been updated. The owners were looking for a way to make it more functional.
Your Backyard is Waiting...
The goal for the master bathroom was to gain square footage and create a functional design for the owners to better utilize the space. 1. The first major change came from expanding the bathroom into the master closet, allowing for an open floor plan. 2. The additional space was used to incorporate a large double vanity with all new cabinetry and countertops. A tower was added between each vanity for additional storage. 3. The additional space also allowed for a large custom tile shower with frameless glass and three shower heads. 4. Another large change came from removing the decked tub and replacing it with a freestanding tub. Accent tile flooring around the new tub created a focal point and made the space appear more open. 5. A new lighting plan and new flooring finished off the master bathroom design.
After
Your Backyard BEFORE PROBLEMS is Waiting... TheYour existing master bathroom was small, Backyard

and the floorplan didn’t function well for the owners. The single vanity lacked proper storage and countertop space. The existing, prefabricated shower was small, while the large decked tub dated the space and took up a lot of space, making the room appear smaller.

History of Biltmore Estate Commentary by Don Knebel
George sold 87,000 acres of land to the U.S. for use as a national forest. During the Great Depression, the Vanderbilt family opened the Biltmore Estate to the public, hoping tourists would come to hard-hit Asheville. Visitors soon arrived from around the world, some deciding to stay. Today, the Biltmore Estate draws about 1.5 million visitors annually, and George Vanderbilt’s descendants employ more than a thousand of Asheville’s delightful residents.
Asheville, a picturesque city in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, is famous for its eclectic TRAVEL citizenry.

He can turn from endearing and sweet to greedy and vengeful within the same breath. Today, we’re going to look at the verbal equivalent of Sméagol: contranyms. A contranym is a word that has multiple meanings, one of which is diametrically opposed to another. Here’s an example of a contranym: left. Left can mean either departed or remaining. Depending on your sentence, you could end up left in the dark (see what I did there?). If Frodo leaves the other hobbits to go back to the Shire, who’s left? Depending on your definition of “left,” the answer is either Frodo or the other hobbits. Sneaky little hobbits! “Throw out” is another tricky contranym. It could either mean to dispose of or to present for consideration. In the
case of our hobbit friends in their journey to destroy the “one ring to rule them all,” throw out could change the outcome of the story depending on how it’s used. On one hand, the hobbits could throw out (dispose of) the ring into the molten lava of Mount Doom, thus fulfilling their mission. Alternatively, what if Sam threw out (presented for consideration) an idea in which the group of hobbit friends instead kept the ring so they could turn invisible whenever they wanted to sack Gandalf’s firework collection? Contranyms can really change the story. I can think of an array of other contranyms. Some include dust, oversight, custom, buckle, bolt, refrain and trim. We’re probably much more familiar with synonyms, homonyms and antonyms. When we stumble on such a unique type of word like a contranym, it really can become something precious—just like the One Ring.
