THE BASICS Current in Westfield caught up with Nick Verhoff, director of business and operations for Westfield Washington Schools. What is a referendum? “A referendum is just a public question to the voters asking for support and to fund different projects.� Verhoff Who will the construction referendum benefit? “The construction referendum is specifically for that, to construct certain projects. We will expand the intermediate, middle and high school because those are the buildings that are almost at capacity. It’s anticipated to add enough space for 350 (students) at the intermediate and middle and 1,000 more for high-school kids. That 1,700 total comes from a professional demographic study done last November. There will be additional dollars to do major facility upgrades like roofs, parking lots and technology.� How much would it cost each taxpayer? “If issued all $90 million up front at one time, with current assessed value, it would cost a homeowner whose house has a $250,000 value $32 a month. (Homeowners) just need to look at the tax statement to see what their homeowners’ deductions are. On average, somebody with a $250,000 home actually only pays taxes on $130,000 after deductions. It’s the net assessed value, not the gross.� When would the tax increase go into effect, if the referendum passes? “The first payment would not be due until at the earliest 2019.� What would the schools lose if the referendum is not passed? “We would have to find space to put 1,700 kids. We would need to either increase class sizes or bring in more portable classrooms or a combination of the two. If the referendum fails, we will likely be back within a year asking for some kind of project so we could grow some.�

Family walks, fundraises for son with spinal muscular atrophy By Anna Skinner “ P]]P/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Graham Vollmer wasn’t supposed to reach his second birthday. But next month, the Westfield toddler will do just that. At 8 weeks old, Graham was diagCOVER STORY nosed with spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic disorder that affects the spinal motor neurons and harms the nerves’ ability to signal muscles to work, causing muscles to slowly deteriorate. Graham has type 1 of the disease, the fastest-progressing of the four types. His mother, Adrienne, was shocked by the diagnosis. Graham is her third child. “He was my most active baby when I was pregnant with him, and within a few days after him being born he stopped being able to nurse and not move his legs at all, and he couldn’t hold up his head at all,� she said. “When he was 6 weeks old, he had scary breathing episodes and he was gasping for air. We took him to specialists, and at 8 weeks old he was diagnosed.� There is no cure for SMA. Adrienne credits a clinical trial drug, Spinraza, approved by the FDA in December, for helping Graham reach his second birthday.

RAISING FUNDS
To celebrate Graham’s birthday, the Vollmer family is planning a fundraiser walk called “Walk-n-Roll for Graham� to take place May 12 at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel. The event begins at 5 p.m. with opening ceremonies and a 1-mile walk beginning at 6 p.m. A silent auction, games and music, an appearance by the Carmel Fire Dept. and ballpark food will be available until the event ends at 9 p.m. “All of the proceeds are going to an organization called Cure SMA,� Adrienne said. “They fund critical research for new treatment drugs coming to the market. The organization donates a lot of resources to help newly diagnosed families find their way and navigate life with SMA and find a new normal and figure out what it’s going to take to create a new life with all these machines that help keep their child alive.�
A NEW NORMAL
The Vollmer family was quickly introduced to a new way of life when Graham was diagnosed. Natalie Finchum, a registered nurse, spends 40 hours a week at the family’s Westfield home caring for Graham. Finchum said continuous care is important. “Especially for little guys like Graham to have one person

continually there to take care of him instead of like five different nurses a week for him because things change so quickly, like new meds, or for example his heart rate and his oxygen,� she said. “You have to know his baseline and just little changes in his breathing, and those things are just so important to know.� Graham relies on multiple machines, from a gastrostomy tube to a ventilator to multiple braces and more, to keep him alive and safe. “It takes about an hour every morning to get Graham ready, to get him up and do respiratory treatments and all the things he needs in the morning, like making his food mix for the day,� Adrienne said. “Days are filled with lots of therapies, physical therapies and occupational therapies and when not, we are doing what we can with all of his different pieces of equipment to really help him explore and learn like any other toddler needs to. He just needs a lot of help with that. “SMA doesn’t at all impact the mind. He’s 100 percent
there. Children with SMA tend to be really smart because they rely so much on sensory things. We really try to stimulate his mind as much as possible throughout the day.� Graham lives with Adrienne, his father Nick, and his two older siblings, Ben, 7, and Lucy, 5.

A tale of mice, hash browns and Walmart
O B S E R V AT I O N Strong schools worth the investment
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker Spendthrift is one of those words, like military intelligence, that means something different than one might imagine. It does not indicate that one “spends thriftily” but, instead, that one is extravagant. If we are lucky, weekly paychecks will come – and go – with very little notice. Certainly, we support the needs of good government and our fellow humans. Yet, rarely do we dig deeper into our own monthly budgets to make others’ flow more easily. Rightly, we challenge tax increases and push for fiscal prudence when spending our hard-earned income, property and other assets. We demand thoughtful and strict management – not for our convenience or greed, but from a well-placed expectation of those elected and selected to work on our behalf. So comes now, the new phenomena, in our home state, at least, of the school referendum. Some demand steep increases or threaten dire consequences. A district a few short miles to the north of here is already divesting itself of buildings, teachers and programs to stay afloat. But our own local schools are working to prove value as they hope that we taxpayers consider a reinvestment in their work – and their outcomes. Carmel Clay Schools, for example, is proposing a replacement for an expiring rate without increase. Our citizenry is among the best-educated in the nation. Strong schools can ensure that we keep it that way. Supporting these referendums seems both affordable and essential. Spend with thrift, yes, but spend as necessary.

READER’S VIEW Vote “yes” on May 2 To view all Letters to the Editor on the referendum, visit currentinwestfield.com Editor, On May 2, Westfield will vote on a construction referendum for our school district. Because of the way state law works, the only way to fund one-time construction projects, such as the one we are considering, is to hold a public vote, or referendum. We strongly encourage you to vote yes May 2. The Westfield Washington School District has grown by 1,000 students since 2012. Construction at our intermediate, middle and high schools (in particular) is necessary to accommodate our growth.
As your elected representatives to the school board, we work hard to make decisions in the best interest of the schools, taxpayers, businesses, homeowners, teachers and, most importantly, our students. Our students deserve our best, and voting yes May 2 will help fund the additional space they need. If you’d like to volunteer, receive a yard sign or simply learn more, please visit WestfieldYes.com.

I don’t always shop outside of my neighborhood grocery store, but when I do, I prefer Walmart. There. I said it. I HUMOR love the cheap stuff. I love the diversity of clientele and I love that there’s a strong possibility I’ll spot a mouse in cosmetics (true story). My husband Doo feels differently and won’t step foot in the retail giant unless forced to do so under threat of death. He cites shoddy products, horror movie fluorescent lighting and the fact that the sheer number of customers at any given time is in clear violation of the fire code. I think he’s a snob. Recently, I had to go to Walmart twice on the same day, unusual for me as I live less than a mile from Meijer. My first run was to pick up invitations at the photo department. Doo agreed to drop me off, though he absolutely refused to go in (chicken!). Boy, did he miss out. In that short five minutes (well, more like 20), I saw beautiful Easter lilies for $3.98 (Meijer’s were $7 and Lowe’s $19.99!), a young couple having an extremely vocal argument over dog food and about 20 items I didn’t know I needed until I did. I had a fascinating conversation with the cashier over my preferred brand of sunscreen while enjoying the sweet, sweet smell of baking bread at the in-store Subway. For my final act of amazement, I found Doo in the parking lot in under three minutes. Later, I returned to Walmart because Meijer, Kroger and Target were all out of shredded hash brown potatoes. I know! Bizarre. Walmart didn’t have them, either, but I did make two new friends in the frozen vegetable aisle as we lamented the scarcity of spuds and wondered whether cubed-style might be a realistic substitute. I’m a loyal Meijer customer, but I do love a good Walmart adventure. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

READER’S VIEW School district took proper steps for ballot Editor, Rick McKinney, Hamilton County Council Member, recently submitted a letter to the Westfield Current that included incorrect information regarding the May 2 school’s construction referendum. We wanted to make sure that Mr. McKinney and the community had the facts prior to the election. The schools had a series of well-attended focus groups in November and December in which the “whys” were discussed and documented. The demographic study, bond information and facilities study are all available on the district website. Westfield Washington Schools is the fastest-growing school district in the state. We have gained more than 1,000 students in the last five years. Space is needed for an additional 1,700 students over the next five-10 years in grades 5 and up. A referendum is the tool that the state has given to fast-growing areas to help cover the cost of necessary construction projects. The vote would enable a 20-year (not
30-year) bonding project to cover the cost of expansion at Westfield intermediate, middle and high school buildings, as well as necessary improvements at other buildings. School districts seeking construction referendums (such as Westfield’s) do not need to ask the county council for permission; school districts seeking operating referendums (such as Carmel and Sheridan) do (citation: Westfield-Washington is proceeding under IC 6-1.1-20-3.5 and 3.6 for a capital projects referendum. This process does not require a notice to the county fiscal body). We confirmed with the Hamilton County Clerk’s office to ensure we took all the proper steps to get the question on the May 2 ballot.

Caving in on sleep Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Arshid Chowdhury has invented something called a sleep pod, a high-tech structure that can be seen in sevHUMOR eral airports around the nation. Crawl into the enclosure and you can catch 40 winks for around 20 bucks, or about 50 cents a wink. Chowdhury’s pods have encountered some problems. Many customers have trouble nodding off while nesting. Some travelers just stare into space with their eyes wide open, something most people can already do at their place of employment and actually get paid for it. Mr. Chowdhury also writes a blog, another fool-proof way to put people to sleep quickly. His newest entry just last week has an intriguing title: “My wife and I slept in a cave for 10 years.” Apparently, AC and his wife bought a new home several years ago and discovered it had a windowless, soundproof den tucked away inside. The Chowdhurys then labeled this their sleep cave, although the police have since told the Chowdhurys that the former owners had called it their meth lab. AC wanted to see what would happen if
the couple slept in a room that was pitch black and totally silent. Of course, they could have just slept in their own bedroom and pulled the shades, but that would have made their blog seem even less interesting. The Chowdhurys have slept in complete darkness since 2007 but admit there are drawbacks. First, the couple has overslept for all nine jobs they’ve been fired from over the past 10 years. Plus, Mrs. Chowdhury was a morning person who used to gleefully bound out of bed when she awoke, bolting for the front door, eager to start her day. This is tough in a sleep cave. Neighbors had a lot of questions for Mr. Chowdhury about his wife’s frequent head injuries. Two years ago they had a little baby boy who’s been keeping them awake at night. He’s not frightened of the dark so much, but the bats are scaring the heck out of him.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: Relocation of a Minor Child
Hire Us
Before Your Spouse Does DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW MEDIATION & COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law DUI 317.DIVORCE | www.hzlegal.com 11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032
The process of going through a divorce is not only emotionally draining, but can also be somewhat daunting and overwhelming when trying to re-group and start anew. Knowing all details about future plans, is virtually unrealistic. Oftentimes, through the divorce process, some parents may have a temporary residence until they determine their next best step. Or, further on down the road, re-marriage might occur, making a change in residence inevitable. No matter what the reason, all of these scenarios may lead a parent to seek to relocate with a minor child. Consequently, when relocation is at issue, there are several specific steps a parent must take in order to ensure he or she is complying with Indiana law. Formal notice must be given to the non-relocating parent. In such a circumstance, the relocating individual must provide formal notice to the non-relocating parent ninety (90) days prior to any relocation. However, some circumstances make it so that the relocation may not be readily known ninety (90) days in advance. If that is the case, it is still best to file as soon as possibly close to when the relocation is known, but such notice must be filed no later than thirty (30) days prior to the actual move. By law, a formal Notice of Intent to Relocate must include certain information. This information includes the following: the current and proposed residential addresses; whether the relocating individual’s contact information will change and if so, the new contact information; the date of the proposed relocation; the reason for the proposed relocation; and notice that the non-relocating individual must object to any proposed relocation within sixty (60) days from the date of his or her receipt of the Notice of Intent to Relocate and may request a modification of custody and/or parenting time. A relocating parent must file this notice even if there is no Court Order regarding parenting time or custody and the matter is only pending before the court awaiting hearing. Further, there is no distance requirement for relocating individuals. In fact, the Indiana General Assembly repealed the distance requirement, making it so that a relocating parent must file a Notice of Intent to Relocate regardless of the distance involved in a proposed relocation. However, oftentimes, there are many instances where there is no objection to a proposed relocation, especially when a parent is moving only a short distance, like down the
street. In the event that the non-relocating individual objects to the proposed relocation of the minor child, the court will set the matter for a hearing on the contested relocation. Relocation matters are very challenging, for the court will not restrict a parent from moving, but the court can restrict the parent from moving the minor child. At hearing, the relocating individual bears the burden to show that the proposed relocation of the minor children is made for a good faith and legitimate reason. If the initial burden is deemed to have been met, the burden then shifts to the non-relocating individual to show that the proposed relocation is not in the child(ren)’s best interest. In contemplating whether to grant or deny the relocation the court will consider several factors, especially any factor that would affect the best interest of the child. These factors include the following: the distance involved in the proposed relocation; the hardship and expense involved for the nonrelocating individual to exercise parenting time; the feasibility of preserving the relationship between the nonrelocating individual and the child(ren) through suitable parenting time, including consideration of the financial circumstances of the parties; whether there is an established pattern of conduct by the relocating individual, including actions by the relocating individual to either promote or thwart a nonrelocating individual's contact with the child(ren); and the reasons provided by the relocating individual for seeking relocation and nonrelocating parent for opposing the relocation of the child. Depending upon the distance, in the event of the relocation of either parent, should distance become a factor in exercising parenting time, the Court may order that either party exercise parenting time “When Distance is a Major Factor” as outlined in the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines or that which the circumstances may warrant.

Truth - Seeking advice is not reported, but taking action based on that advice may affect your credit score. 3. Myth - A low credit score may stop you from getting a job. Truth - Employers may obtain your credit report but not your score. It is illegal to use credit scores to screen potential employees. Source: GoBankingRates.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Creating contemporary first-floor look Commentary by Larry Greene
AFTER SOLUTIONS:
After
The goal was an updated kitchen with better flow and aesthetics and cosmetically update the family room and adjoining spaces. 1. In the kitchen, the design incorporated taller cabinets, creating more storage. New Cambria quartz countertops, new tile backsplash and new appliances were installed. The island was enlarged to create more seating and storage. A microwave was added as well. 2. The dry bar was updated with new cabinets and countertops to create additional storage. 3. The living room fireplace was updated with a new, modern gas fireplace insert, tile surround and flanking bookshelves. 4. The powder bath now features a wallpapered accent wall that gives the space the style it was lacking. 5. New dark engineered hardwood flooring was installed throughout the main level.
Before Background Info: This 2004-built home in the Shelborne Park subdivision in Carmel was in need of several aesthetic updates and additional storage.
BEFORE PROBLEMS: Even though only a 13-year-old home, the owners wanted to update, add storage and create a more stylistic, modern look. The kitchen cabinets were outdated and the island shape and lack of storage created functional challenges. The adjacent living room fireplace and powder bath also were in need of an update.

Apamea threatened by war Commentary by Don Knebel An historic Roman city near Hama, Syria, is among the archaeological treasures threated by Syria’s continued TRAVEL civil war. In 300 B.C., Seleucus Nicator, one of Alexander the Great’s generals, who had conquered much of the Middle East, established a city along the Orontes River named Apamea in honor of his wife. Apamea became an important military center in the Seleucid Empire, home to 500 war elephants that Seleucus had obtained in a trade with an Indian emperor. In 64 B.C., Pompey captured Apamea and annexed it to the Roman Empire. The Romans then erected a 20,000-seat theater, one of the largest in the empire. Mark Anthony and Cleopatra visited Apamea during their honeymoon in 37 B.C., when the city had a population of approximately 100,000. During the Jewish Revolt that began in 66 A.D., Apamea sheltered its Jewish residents from Roman soldiers. After an earthquake destroyed much of Apamea in 115 A.D., Roman Emperor Trajan reconstructed the Cardo Maximus, a 1.2-mile-long main street lined by 1,200,
30-foot-high columns and intersected every 360 feet by side streets. The 68-foot-wide street was among the largest and most famous streets in the Roman Empire, passing temples, shops and baths. Some of the stone columns had unique spiral fluting along their entire length. In the sixth century, Byzantine Emperor Justinian repaired Apamea’s Cardo Maximus, adding walkways and replacing paving stones. A few years later, the Persians destroyed the city and partially rebuilt it. Apamea was demolished by an earthquake in 1152. By 2010, approximately 400 columns along Apamea’s Cardo Maximus had been reconstructed, along with a few decorative arches marking the intersections. Some of the businesses lining the street, including a brothel, could be identified by stone signs. Recent satellite images show that Apamea has been the victim of extensive and destructive wartime looting. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville.com.

Try conditioner on your car — Hair conditioner makes your hair shiny, so why not your car? Mix 1/2 cup of conditioner containing lanolin with 2 cups of water. Go over your entire car with the conditioner/water solution, then rinse. The conditioner will add shine and won’t leave any water streaks, plus it will repel water. Source: Fabulous55.com
