By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Twelve students were recognized at the sixth annual Westfield Youth Assistance Program Youth Recognition Breakfast Adversity April 20 at East Street Studios. The honorees were all from Westfield Washington Schools and had all endured adversity that led to them being nominated by a teacher, counselor or principal. “Today is one of my favorite community days of the entire year,” said Eric Douthit, president of WYAP. “It’s an opportunity to truly recognize the stars of Westfield. These are kids who have been given a challenge or obstacle or extraordinary circumstances. We are honoring kids who have impressed a teacher, counselor or principal so much that that individual has taken time to congratulate those children.” Honorees were not required to be a mentee with WYAP to be selected for recognition. Honorees received a plaque from Mayor Andy Cook and the Westfield Washington Schools staff that nominated the student spoke of the student’s accomplishments to the crowd. Students recognized were Kara Anderson, Tori Collins, Keyonna Gambrell, Renalie Ginto, Brandt Grabowski, Dylan Martinez, Kevin Uriel, Estrada Murillo, Jonathan Robles, Edgar Romero, Alayna Shea and Aqualis and Coltrane Varner. The students’ grade levels ranged from elementary to high school. Cook spoke on Westfield and Hamilton Co.’s mission to receive funding for Youth Assistance Programs from the county council. “There are 110 active cases right here in little Westfield,” he said. “There are eight early intervention advocates across the county, funded from different methods like schools, the city and donations and grants. Our goal is to endeavor and provide a sustainable source of income for our early intervention advocates. The county is benefitting greatly financially by not having as many kids juvenilely involved.” Cook said some county council members are already on board with the funding attempts. State Sen. Luke Kenley, State Rep. Tony Cook and Hamilton Co. Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt were present at the event. “We have recognized the importance of recognition,” Cook said. “In this society today, we greatly recognize our athletes. We do a mediocre

job of recognizing our scholastic achievers, but we found out recognition for those who have overcome obstacles in their life, thrown at them of no fault of their own, becomes heartwarming and endearing to us all.” After the presentation of plaques and nominators speaking to the crowd, Cook took a moment to thank recently retired superintendent of WWS Dr. Mark Keen. “Dr. Keen has just produced an unbelievable product in our school system. He has recently retired, but he and his staff have absolutely made my job so easy in attracting businesses and people to Westfield,” Cook said. “I always ask, ‘Why Westfield?’ Number one is always the quality of the schools.” Hamilton Co. Superior Judge Steve Nation closed the ceremony and spent time thanking the staff of the school. “Without our children, whatever our schools are, whatever our businesses are, whatever our communities are, they won’t exist,” Nation said. “Our children are our treasure.” For more, visit http://youthassistance.org/ westfield/.

Wood Wind Golf Course reopens, targets guest services for 2016 By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Last year, the owners of Wood Wind Golf Course decided to monetize its property by selling to a residential developer with a plan that would lead to closing the golf cover story course and building homes with a fair amount of density. After a conjoined reaction of disapproval from the community, plans have changed. “The community really stepped up,” said Matt Cohoat, president of Cohoat and O’Neal Golf Management, which leases the course from RN Thompson Golf. “Several citizens here helped bond the community and really let (Westfield City Council) know it was a preference that this would remain green space and that the golf course would stay.” Matt and his brother, Jeff, general manager at Wood Wind, said if the public golf course closed, it would be unlikely that another public course would be built in the city due to financial in feasibility. The course has been open since the 1980s, and Cohoat and O’Neal Golf Management has leased it for seven years. “The developer canceled (its) plans and the owners renewed our lease for the rest of 2016,” Matt said. “The golf course will then be put under contract with Pulte Homes. They are spending a lot of time really understanding and engaging with the community to understand a broader, more coordinated plan to retain the golf course and build homes on extra land or land nearby.” Matt said his intent would be that Cohoat and O’Neal would continue to manage the course after the developers begin construction. Jeff Cohoat and Jake Peacock, the head golf professional for Wood Wind, have been working hard since the decision to continue leasing the property. “We’ve gone back to our roots to focus on the total customer experience and not just the golf experience,” Jeff said. “We want the total experience to provide the highest service possible.” Peacock graduated from the Golf Academy of America at

A senior rate for ages 60 and older is $36 Monday through Friday and $42 on weekends. The course is completely open to the public. Foot Golf, a mix of golf and soccer, also is offered. It costs $15, with a $5 soccer-ball rental for 18 holes, which takes approximately two hours.
Wood Wind Golf Course will remain open after the community expressed disinterest in the plans for a developer to replace the course with homes. The course is under contract with Pulte Homes to work with the community on a solution. (Submitted photo)

The Cohoats and Peacock are also working with two local high school teams – Park Tudor and University High School – to provide course play. The Highlands Latin School will play as a club team. Tracy Schooler of Lebanon serves as director of instruction. “It ties in with the youth learning about golf and being out here and that can be an opportunity to meet other youth for our caddy program, the Evans Scholar Program,” Matt said.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW ‘Protect our lives’ on Mule Barn Road Editor, I am contacting you after the tragic wreck that occurred at approximately 8:53 a.m. April 15 on Mule Barn Road, taking the life of Westfield resident, Patricia Douglas. Referring to this incident an ‘accident’ is hardly appropriate given the speeds routinely achieved on this road. We have resided on Mule Barn since 2005. During this time, we have watched traffic increase remarkably. Unfortunately, speeds and reckless driving have also increased dramatically. Several years ago, a group of neighbors and I met with the Hamilton Co. Highway Dept. in an effort to request some form of speed control. At that time, the posted limit on our section of Mule Barn was 45mph. The highway department subsequently conducted a traffic study, and ultimately determined the limit was too low. The speed limit was then increased to 55mph, and we were told that the eastwest traffic volume did not warrant four-way stops. Had there been a four-way stop at the intersection of Mule Barn and 206th street, Patricia Douglas might still be alive.
In the interim years following that meeting, housing density and traffic volume have increased significantly. My family, and our neighbors are routinely passed by vehicles traveling at ridiculous rates of speed on what is a narrow road, with steep edges and crumbling pavement. Telephone and electric poles border the west side of the road, there is literally no room for error when being approached by an aggressive driver. Another innocent victim has lost her life, and she is not the first. The next wreck might involve my family; it might involve my neighbors. Now that Grand Park is a regional attraction, the next wreck may involve a vanload of young kids. My husband and I are vested Hamilton Co. residents. We respectfully request the City of Westfield and the county to do its part to protect our lives and our investments in this community.

‘Oh, say, you can’t sing … ’ The long arm of government has reached all the way down to middle school now. A recently posted video making the rounds on Facebook shows a security guard abruptly stopping Waynesville (N.C.) Middle School Chorus’ singing of the national anthem at the 9/11 memorial in New York City. Barney Fife’s partner already had given the students permission to sing, but Barney said the law was that a permit was required. To. Sing. The. National. Anthem. There. The school’s principal said the kids “immediately complied and apologized.” How do you like that? That’s a memory that they’ll have forever. Wow. ••• Today’s edition of Current has voting information for the May 3 primary election. If you’re registered to vote, please do so.

One might imagine some of these so-called dishonest statements are, in fact, points of view rather than measurable and specific data. Regardless, each of the would-be candidates take the lectern to claim their own moral superiority supposedly deep-rooted in honesty, integrity and a willingness to speak the truth. But does the truth really matter? People have been prone to exaggeration and puffery for as long as we’ve had command of the language. We’ve all stretched a bit to bring comfort to others. Anyone with teenagers is probably guilty of observing the colossal Mount Vesuvius like blemish forming on the forehead of their progeny, and claiming – it really doesn’t look that bad – when we know full-well it may frighten
the villagers. But, our goal is to do good and help the young ones overcome. So when we bring this almost quaint culture of white lies into the Internet age, what happens? Now elected officials tell us - well, of course I lied because you wouldn’t have voted for me otherwise. And, reality television stars proclaim – well, of course I lied because if you knew that I was in love with someone else you wouldn’t have continued with our really cool wedding. Magazines and Internet sites post lists of lies to tell to get upgraded hotel rooms, take advantage of the family leave act and effectively avoid getting caught in an affair. To tell the truth, there is a disturbing trend of prevarication in our nation. Is the honest human an artifact and the greasy liar the contemporary archetype?

Women of greater Indianapolis unite, for our day approach-eth! That’s right, people, Mother’s Day 2016 is upon us, humor and I, for one, am not taking any chances. There will be no failed expectations, no misunderstood requests and definitely no crying. Not this year. Not again. As such, I am calling a preemptive do-over. Hear ye, hear ye! Danielle’s most precious eight to 10 hours of blissful solitude will now occur on May 22, as May 8 does not fit into her schedule! Seriously. Mother’s Day immediately following the first Saturday in May? The mini, first communions, proms, college graduations … and hello-o, the Kentucky Derby. What are these calendar guys thinking? And yes, I mean guys. No female would ever dedicate the day after a single major event, let alone the perfect storm of celebratory obligations, for honoring moms. We’d have chosen a random Sunday during the summer when school is out and the temperature’s consistently a pleasant 79. Oh wait. That’s Father’s Day. I rest my case. But I digress. As I have learned from countless number of MDs gone wrong, horribly wrong, moms can’t just hope that everything will turn out fine. We have to plan carefully, articulate our hopes clearly, and if necessary, take matters into our own hands. To wit, our annual Derby party falls on May 7, which means May 8 will be spent picking up, lounging around and perhaps doubledowning on the Advil. (Mint julips are not to be messed with!) Absent from the agenda is coming downstairs to a clean house, enjoying brunch with the peeps (who’ll probably also be experiencing a rough morning) and either shopping at Simply Chic or gorging on buttered popcorn at Regal. Therefore, Mother’s Day must be moved. I just told Doo about the plan, and he didn’t even blink. This ain’t my first rodeo, baby. I’ve also called re-do’s post MD, when sick kids, clueless husbands, or newly-minted driver accidents ruined my day. I’m not taking any chances this year, and I encourage all ladies to follow suit. Good luck, fair matrons, and Godspeed! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

My wife is a fast-walking girl Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife walks faster than I do. What makes this so humiliating is that I have always been a good athlete, but Mary Ellen humor hated sports. When my wife tries to run, she doesn’t bend her legs at the knees and she ends up looking like a soldier doing a goose-step on too much coffee. No, she can’t run. But boy, can she walk. And I can’t figure out why she walks faster. Let’s see … her legs are longer than mine. And wait, she moves them back and forth faster than I do. Okay, I just figured it out. But this doesn’t make me feel any better. The great irony is that I was attracted to my wife 35 years ago because of her long, slender legs. This is exactly how men get themselves in trouble. When I saw those lovely limbs, my mind turned to romance, but I should have realized that she’d be walking faster than me for the next 40 years. I knew I was going to marry a woman who was smarter. But faster? That wasn’t the plan.
In fact, in high school and college, I prided myself on my speed. And I never had anything to do with girls who were fast. I probably should rewrite that sentence. Sometimes, just to feel loved and wanted, when we are walking I hide behind a tree to see if my wife will look back to see where I am. Out on a hiking trail, this is okay, but in a residential neighborhood, men behind trees are frowned upon. When you are telling your story to a police officer and he keeps using the word “lurking,” you have a great deal of explaining to do. Now, when my wife and I walk, we go in different directions around our neighborhood circle. No matter how slow I walk, we always pass each other at exactly the same time. I know that sounds stupid. But don’t try to explain it to me. You know how slow I am.
I knew I was going to marry a woman who was smarter. But faster? That wasn’t the plan.

Cook up a Mother’s Day to remember Submitted content courtesy of Family Features Mother’s Day is a time for wining, dining and celebrating moms everywhere. Make this Mother’s Day one to remember recipes by hosting a special brunch get-together for the special ladies in your life. Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday table shine. Use plates in complementing shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant touch. If you have room, add personal touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames with pictures of the two of you through the years. Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod to the importance of the day with dishes that are a step above standard brunch fare.
A richly flavored entree such as this Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive spread, remember to give the basics a boost, too, such as a homemade flavored whipped butter. Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Maria beach in Santa Barbara County. Cambria is a family-owned winery that believes in honoring women across the United States and globally. Each year, the winery gives $100,000 to women making a difference in their communities through their Seeds of Empowerment program. For more recipes and ideas to enhance your celebrations, visit cambriawines.com.

Give the mom in your life the latest beauty treatments By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
Michaela Baird, esthetician at Sundance Salon and Spa in Zionsville, claims the dual exfoliation facial is a great treatment for a spring look. (Photos by Anna Skinner)
With blue skies and spring breezes chasing away the winter blahs, many are realizing they want to look and feel better, therefore searching out spas. spas A few local spas offer services specific for a fresh spring look. Dual Exfoliation Facial Sundance Salon Spa, 47 S. Elm St., Zionsville, offers a dual exfoliation facial with Aveda products to cast a clean, fresh look without the damaging chemicals. The two-part, clinical facial cleanses and then uses a plant peel on the face for facial results without uncomfortable, irritated skin sometimes caused by facial chemicals. “This is a great choice for spring because of cold weather, everybody has a buildup of dry skin and dead cells,” said Michaela Baird, esthetician at the salon. “With the dual exfoliation facial, you’ll get a better tan on spring break and your face will be cleaned out better. You’ll get back that moisture you’ve been missing all winter.” The dual exfoliation facial lasts an hour and costs $105. Shellac nails Sundance Salon Spa also offers an upgrade from a normal manicure or pedicure by using shellac nail polish. This gel-like polish will provide two weeks’ worth of no chipping. “This is also a great option for spring break, because if you’re going in the ocean normal polish will not stay on and you will have to continuously apply,” Baird said. Shellac prices: Manicure - $45, pedicure - $70.
Treat mom to an appointment at a local salon like Twisted Sisters Beauty Salon, 546 N. Union St., Westfield, where beauticians suggests an ombré hair style with lighter colors for women this season.
Haircuts and styles popular for spring Twisted Sisters Beauty Salon, 546 N. Union St., Westfield, suggests an ombré hair style with lighter colors for those women searching for a spring look. “The lighter ombré is pretty big right now, especially with lighter colors like blondes and light browns for spring,” Stylist Jessica Jones said. “It’s a new trend. Everyone loves the color fading right now. It’s the new hot thing.” Ombré prices range from $100-$160. In pair with the ombré color scheme, Jones said that as fair as haircuts go, the longer look is currently in style for spring. To contact Twisted Sisters, call 317-804-9503.

Patti and Bruce Kimball catch up with Andrew and Susan Buroker at the “Fiddler on the Roof” opening night pre-party at Civic Theatre.
Marni Lemons and Tobin Strader shined and received a much-deserved standing ovation for their roles of Golde and Tevya in Civic Theatre’s sold-out production of “Fiddler on the Roof.”
Tania C. Moskalenko and Jini Rooney took time to pose for “Where’s Amy?” at the opening night pre-party festivities for Civic Theatre’s “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Mitchell Wray gave his twin sister Amelia Wray a big brotherly hug and some sweet treats after the opening night of “Fiddler on the Roof” at Civic Theatre.
Where’s Amy? I was in pure heaven attending Civic Theatre’s opening-night production of “Fiddler on the Roof” with my parents and friends. Hats off to Director Michael J. Lasley whose creative vision and casting helped bring the musical to life. What a treat it was to see the talented Tobin Strader, Marni Lemons and the entire cast of “Fiddler” shine on stage. I loved this musical as a child, and it still ranks as a favorite today. Nothing beats sitting back and observing a sold-out crowd laughing, crying and humming along to their favorite songs. Throughout the show, we were entertained by the sounds from a simple fiddle and/or 17-piece orchestra under the direction of Civic’s own Brent E. Marty. Crowd favorites included “Matchmaker,” “If I Were A Rich Man,” “Do You Love Me” and “The Dream” which was brilliantly choreographed by Anne Beck. I guarantee that you will enjoy the show and leave with a huge smile on your face. Grab your family and friends and go see this production, which runs through May 7. I am also stoked about Civic Theatre’s recent announcement for their 2016-2017 season, which includes “Young Frankenstein,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Rumors,” “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare” and “The Music Man.” Whew! Yep, it’s safe to say that Civic Theatre is continuing the tradition by bringing only the best theatre and musicals to its home in Carmel. Fire up, and Where’s Amy? will see you there - L’chaim!

Guitarist Oaks plays locally By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Chris Oaks may be cutting back his music hours, but he’s not giving up the passion completely. profile The 33-year-old Westfield resident plays around the area equipped with his guitar and his voice, but he also decided that he may need to get involved in something else. “In 2014, I did 40 different venues and 235 shows in a year. It’s fun, but the late nights just got kind of old, so I decided to try something else,” Oaks said. That something else ended up being real estate. “I’ve been really comfortable being my own boss and making my own hours with music, and I figured with real estate I could do the same thing,” he said. “It’s kind of the same to what I’m already doing because running the business side of full time music is networking and meeting people, so I just switched that thinking over to real estate and do the same thing.” Oaks got his real estate license last June and is now a broker for WKRP Indy. “The reason I joined WKRP is they’re really trying to specialize in Westfield, and I think it’s a great place to live, and it will be a great place to sell real estate,” he said.
Chris Oaks plays at Prime 47 every Wednesday from 6 to 9 p.m. (File photo)
He’s not done with music though. He’s been playing guitar since he was 8, and it will be a hard passion to give up. He’s booked performances with Grand Junction Brewing Company until the summer, and every week he plays at Prime 47 Wednesdays at 6 p.m., Ocean Prime Thursdays at 6 p.m. and Eddie Merlot’s every second and fourth Friday at 7 p.m. Oaks also performs for backyard parties and wedding receptions. His rate is $150 an hour for a three hour minimum. “I don’t think I’ll ever quit music completely, It’s fun. It’s my passion. It’s something I’ve been doing all my life, so it’s something I’ll never quit,” he said. To book Oaks for an event, email him at chris@wkrpindy.com, or call 317-332-0255.

Bonwell Tanner engineers quick house flip By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This flip scored a perfect 10 for the Bonwell Tanner Real Estate Group. The group, led by co-ownbuilding ers Randie Bonwell and Karen Tanner, occasionally purchases houses and then remodels the homes to flip. The latest one took just one day to sell. “We finished it Saturday night at midnight,” Bonwell said. “I had an open house on Sunday and had multiple offers on Monday.” The house in Spring Mill Place, just north of 106th and Spring Mill Road, sold for $540,000 (pending) April 18. The company bought the home in February for $327,000. The renovation process took eight weeks. “We did all the design work, and we had a construction crew (Barb Construction) do the work,” Bonwell said. “Everybody wants to flip a house. We’ve studied and analyzed this, and there are so few that you can actually turn a profit on. You have to be ready when (the op-
portunity) comes.” Bonwell estimates the company, 501 Congressional Blvd., Suite 220, does three or less house flips per year. “We’ve done it on a smaller scale, but this was the biggest one we’ve undertaken recently,” Bonwell said. “We’ve done all price ranges.” Bonwell said her company has flipped $30,000 homes and on up. Bonwell and Tanner started the real estate group in 2007 after both being agents for Keller Williams. “We decided we were a good fit and formed a team. Now she can’t get rid of me,” said Bonwell, who was also an agent for Re/Max. Both are Carmel residents. Tanner is a Zionsville Community High School graduate and Indiana University graduate. Bonwell graduated from Clinton Prairie High School and Purdue University. The company serves all of Hamilton Co., Zionsville and Indianapolis. For more, visit buywithbtg.com.

Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Never again: A promise or hope? Commentary by Don Knebel A Berlin memorial remembering the Jewish victims of the Holocaust was intended to provide a visual reminder about travel what can happen when a society gives itself over to hate. Not everyone is getting the message. The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe lies just south of the new American embassy and just east of Ebertstraße, a street once containing a long section of the wall separating East and West Berlin. The 4.7-acre site, within sight of the Brandenburg Gate, previously held the city villa of Joseph Goebbels, one of the architects of Nazi persecution. The memorial itself consists of 2711 rectangular concrete slabs of uniform length and width, with heights ranging from a few inches to more than 15 feet. The slabs, called “stelae,” are positioned on a grid, with their varying heights arranged to create an irregularly undulating appearance that exaggerates the rises and falls of the uneven ground, especially for visitors walking among them. An underground information center contains the names of three million Jewish Holocaust victims.
The memorial was designed by Peter Eisenman, an American architect who won a 1997 design competition after the winner of an earlier competition was rejected by Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Eisenman said his disquieting design suggests what happens when an apparently rational society loses its bearings. As if to prove the point, critics discovered that the German chemical company engaged to coat the stelae against graffiti was associated with the firm that produced cyanide tablets for concentration camp death chambers, temporarily halting construction. The memorial was finally dedicated on May 10, 2005, almost 60 years to the day of the German surrender in World War II. Since the Memorial’s opening, the stelae have been repeatedly marred with swastikas and other anti-Semitic markings. Unfortunately, “Never Again” far too often seems less a promise than a hope. 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.
Dispatches Grow Native! – The Grow Native! program makes it easy to identify native plants that will be a great addition to any landscape. Native plants are Hoosier friendly. They are easy to care for and need less water and fertilizer than nonnative plants that are not as well adjusted to Indiana conditions. A list of participating retailers across Central Indiana is available online at www.hamiltonswcd.org/ grow-native.html. For more, visit www.INPAWS.org.
Afternoon boost – If you’re having an afternoon slump, one easy way to perk up is to go brush your teeth. It gets you up and moving, gives your mind a break, and the minty toothpaste perks you up. It can also discourage you from snacking on sweets in a vain effort to raise your energy level. Source: govloop.com
Designer workshop series – The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics. Join the group for Patina vs. Perfection: Natural Stone Tips, Facts and Alternatives at 10:30 a.m. May 17 at the Indiana Design Center. Lonna Heshelman of Santarossa Mosaic & Tile will present. RSVP via email to concierge@ IndianaDesignCenter.com.
