Spoljaric doubts referendum By Noah Alatza • news@currentinwestfield.com
The Westfield School board met May 9. The next school board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 3 at Westfield Intermediate School. What happened: Council member Cindy Spoljaric raised doubts about the referendum. What it means: “I have concerns about the construction timetable, especially with the debt getting paid off in the coming years,” she said. “Would there be a better alternative than starting the construction earlier on?” What happened: Shamrock Springs Elementary School showcased a new program called ‘Mosaic.’ What it means: The program helps students with mental illness and other emotional problems. What happened: A new assistant principal was named for Maple Glen Elementary for the start of next school year. What it means: “All elementary schools can now have a full-time assistant principal as of this school year,” Principal Joe Montalone said. “We used to have to share with other schools, but not anymore.”
Montalone
What happened: A district-wide construction report was presented. What it means: Architects said construction at Washington Woods and Oak Trace elementaries should be completed by June 1. What happened: Due dates for required student textbook fees will be adjusted for the 2017-18 school year. What it means: “The grade configurations with different due dates can help our parents when the bill finally becomes due,” said Nick Verhoff, director of business and operations.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Divided notions Commentary by Terry Anker If we were to name only one, what would it be? Certainly, we thinking humans establish our lives in ways that set personal priorities. But if we had to identify a single thing, around which the whole of our lives was formed, could we do it? We might put our faith at the top of the list, or family, or career, or education. Others could hold that avoiding an addiction to be of the highest order – each moment would place that desire to precede all other needs. Often, our priorities shift over time. Those of us who put our children at the zenith would have surely not considered such a structure before beginning a family. Whatever the prioritization, we all follow some chart helping us to navigate our way in the tumultuous sea of daily existence. Alas, for some, we think so precious little about what our Polaris is (or should be) that we are led by it with little notion of its presence – or worse, our dominion over it. Over the past 64 years, North and South Korea, a people divided, have followed different guiding stars. The leaders of the North set as their first objective the preserving of their political regime. As such, military needs consume most resources, and national priorities are tightly constrained. The South followed an intellectual path to free markets and open democracy. Today, there are vast differences, evidenced by these divergent roads, with two of the starkest being life expectancy, which is 25 percent greater in South Korea, where personal freedom exists. If priorities set long-ago can destructively constrain our future growth, do we fall behind in failing to routinely review our own guide stars?

READER ’ S V I EW WWS proves formula for frivolous, unaccounted spending Editor, Congratulations to Dr. Sherry Grate and the Westfield School administration for their victory in the passing of the recent referendum that mortgages the property owners of the township for 20 years. They have proven that the formula for frivolous and unaccounted spending is by placing a referendum in an off year primary election where voter turnout is at its lightest. Voters, you have only yourselves to
thank for Westfield cementing itself as the highest taxed township in the county indefinitely, with the possibility that even higher tax rates are forthcoming as the above described formula will be repeated the next time the Westfield School administration wants to fund another pet project. Essentially, you have given it a blank check signed by the taxpayers. Vince Catanese Westfield
I am not a crier. Never have been. I don’t know if it’s because I grew up with four sisters and, in an effort to dishumor tinguish myself from the herd, decided to lock that emotional shtick down, or if it’s thanks to my 50 percent British blood that left me with a bit too much Yorkshire stoicism. Regardless, I rarely get weepy. But lately, I’ve noticed myself tearing up at the stupidest times. Have you seen the new Volkswagen commercial with the family traveling cross-country to deliver the grandfather’s ashes to the Pacific? Throat-clogger. Or the Principal Financial one where the dad has to quit school because his girlfriend gets pregnant, then 20-odd years later graduates, right behind his son? Gulp. At least I can blame these moments of weakness on the magical manipulators of marketing. But the other day I was sitting in the always-long drive-thru line of Chick-FilA, opening the mail, and out of the blue I begin full-on sobbing into my steering wheel. The culprit? Graduation information from the high school! I mean, seriously! I’m counting the days until “Geoff-Geoff” is on his merry way, out the door and onto independent, adult living. But between the dorm-fridge raffle announcement and information on cap and gown pick-up, all I could do was think about my first baby boy. Towheaded and talking at an elevated level to be heard above his invasive twin siblings. Playing 5-year-old rec soccer for the Green Power Rangers and being the tallest kid on the field. Breaking his collarbone in a pickup football game at a Derby party and our telling him to “Shake it off, you’ll be fine.” Jeeze-Louise, I’m choking up as I type! I pride myself on keeping my emotions in check, but this graduating from high school thing has me worried. I much prefer a sappy Hallmark ad. Peace out.

Mary Ellen went to a conference last week in Chicago and left me at home. Alone. When she abandoned humor me last year, I realized I did not know how to run the dishwasher or operate the convection oven. I felt guilty about all the dirty dishes she came home to, but I am really good with the clothes washer, so to make up for the mess in the kitchen, I went through Mary Ellen’s laundry basket and washed everything. I don’t know what she ate in Chicago, but when she got home two days later and took everything out of the dryer, nothing fit. Mary Ellen and I watch so many different programs that I can’t keep the story lines or characters straight. I continually ask her to hit the pause button so I can ask questions, like: Is that a good guy or a bad guy? Is that his wife or sister? Is this a flashback? The first night she was in Chicago, I checked out the DVR to catch up on some shows. There were shows like: “Underground,” “Billions,” “Homeland,” “Feud,” “24” and “Designated Survivor.”
I put on “Billions,” a great show about the world of high-stakes finance, starring Damian Lewis as cutthroat investor Bobby Axelrod. Five minutes into it, I called Mary Ellen in her hotel. “This Bobby Axelrod character, wasn’t he killed a few episodes back?” “No, Dick, you are thinking of Damian Lewis when he played Nicholas Brody in “Homeland.” “Is that the show where he beheaded two of his wives?” “No, that was when he played Henry the VIII in ‘Wolf Hall.’ “So that’s how he earned his reputation as a cutthroat.” Mary Ellen made me promise to quit watching TV so she could get some sleep. I searched under the couch and between the pillows, under the coffee table and behind the lamp. I wanted to turn off the TV. But it wasn’t remotely possible.

LEGAL NOTICE OF DUKE ENERGY INDIANA, LLC’S STANDARD CONTRACT RIDER NO. 56 PERMANENT RE-APPROVAL OF ITS VOLUNTARY GOGREEN RIDER
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Marsh’s presence in Hamilton County is shrinking. Three Marsh stores grocery in Hamilton County will close this month. The supermarkets at 8766 E. 96th St., Fishers, and 1960 E. Greyhound Pass, Carmel, will close May 21. The store at 17901 River Ave., Noblesville, will cease operations May 27. Marsh issued a statement May 4, calling it a reluctant decision to close nine stores, including the three in the county. “Our decision was solely the product of the difficult competitive environment and in no way reflects on the efforts of the great associates working in these stores,” the statement said. Tom Mulligan, a Marsh spokesman, said he couldn’t supply specific numbers on how many employees each store had. All inquiries are being handled by the Marsh corporate office. “We are working to help our associates find other opportunities within Marsh, as has always been our practice,” Mulligan said. “We also are partnering with WorkOne and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development to help our people hone their skills to re-enter the workforce.” After the closings, there will be one Marsh store remaining in Carmel (2140 E. 116th St.) and one near the Carmel line at 10679 N. Michigan Rd., Zionsville. There also is a Marsh-operated O’Malia store at 4755 E. 126th St. In addition, there is a Marsh in the Boone Village

Shopping Center in Zionsville. There will be one Marsh store remaining in Noblesville (14450 Mundy Dr.) and Fishers (12520 E. 116th St.), although Mulligan did confirm that the company is seeking a buyer for all of the remaining stores. “It is true that Marsh is seeking a buyer for all 44 of its remaining stores. The Company has hired the investment-banking firm of Peter J. Solomon Co. to assist them in finding a buyer,” he stated in an email.

The flowers are blooming and the sun is out! It’s time to get outside and enjoy the springtime in Indifamily health ana! After months of being stuck indoors, it’s wonderful to finally be able to do outdoor activities and enjoy the beautiful weather with your family. If your little ones are anything like mine, they love to be outside and be active. Here are some great suggestions on activities, places and exercises you can do with your little ones outside this spring. Walking stroller lunges Stand behind your stroller with your hands on the handlebar, shoulder-width apart. Lunge forward with one leg, pushing the stroller out in front of you. Your knee should be directly above your ankle and your thigh parallel to the ground. Return to the standing position and lunge with the other leg. “Kiss the baby” push-up Find a bench and park your baby’s stroller safely against the bench with the brake in place. Facing your baby/stroller, place your arms on it, shoulder-width apart.
TRENDS IN BACKSPLASH DESIGNS David Decker,The Affordable Companies The-AffordableCompanies.com • (317) 575-9540
By David Decker With so many styles, colors, and finishes available, it’s hard to decide which is best when designing a backsplash. Here are a few of our favorite designs. Mix-in the Mosaics: Typically used as an accent above the cooktop or on the entire wall, mosaic tiles are sure to create a striking focal point. Mosaics can come in a variety of finishes and sizes. When selecting the mosaic, consider its busyness as well as its color palette. Go Gray...With the Grout: Do you like the look of the classic subway tile, but want to put a unique twist on this timeless style? Try using a gray grout! It adds subtle interest to an otherwise standard white wall. Toss in the Texture: Whether it’s visual with a fire-glazed or crackled-glass finish, or physical with three-dimensional stone, adding texture to your splash can help set the tone of the entire kitchen. Play with the Shapes: We’ve all seen the standard square and rectangular ceramic tiles installed
straight on the wall before. Why not try something different? Arabesque, Diamonds, & penny-rounds in a neutral tone can add a sophisticated and unique touch to any kitchen. Why Use Tile?: Who says tile needs to be used on a backsplash? The latest trend in backsplash design is to eliminate the grout lines altogether and run the countertop material up on the wall. This can create a more dramatic focal point when installed as the backsplash too. Keep it Classy: Looking for a traditional backsplash for your traditional home? You can never go wrong with a natural stone. Try blending the tones of the cabinetry and countertop with backsplash to create one cohesive design. And don’t be afraid to mix sizes of the same stone for a more customized look. If you have questions or would like assistance with your design please call us today at 317.575.9540 to set up an appointment with one of our designers.

Patio materials matter; consider the essentials Commmentary by Randy Sorrell More than ever, patio materials matter. There are hundreds and hundreds of paver options availhome improvement able with size, color and shape, all part of the dizzy equation. Couple that with concrete versus clay pavers and confuse it with the natural stone alternative, and the decision process can be daunting — unless experienced professionals are guiding the sourcing process. VARIABLES Once a few of the essentials are considered, it becomes a cleaner process to guide and offer strong material recommendations. Those variables start with budget, are influenced strongly by the style of the home, neighborhood setting and whether the project is leaning natural/formal/modern. A few samples on site confidently verifies the decision. VARIETY Mixing materials injects fun, prompts movement and creates drama. A contrasting ribbon of pavers can suggest different living spaces (dining space and a separate area around a fire feature, for example).
Mix materials to create contrast in a patio. (Submitted photo)
It also calls attention to patio shapes and can serve to tie in architectural elements of the home. Careful not to inject too much variety, however. PROJECT The featured home displays a front courtyard and is a fantastic example of variables and variety. The sprawling ranch home in a leafy, mature Indianapolis neighborhood commanded the use of both manmade pavers and a natural limestone cap on an existing edgy cinder block wall. We selected Cotswold Mist, Belgard Lafitt concrete pavers for the primary patio, walk
and step, with a bold contrasting Monroe color Holland paver as the border. It helps identify the step tread as a safety feature, too. The natural limestone wall cap pays homage to the neighborhood and introduces an additional level of variety. Materials matter! Enjoy the sourcing process.

Interior of Cairo’s Hanging Church. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Miracle of the Hanging Church Commentary by Don Knebel Members of the Coptic (Egyptian) Church trace their origins to Saint Mark, who they believe visited Egypt in 42 A.D. travel and became their first patriarch. Today, the Coptic section of Cairo is known for a unique church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to whom they attribute a famous miracle. Built as early as the seventh century, the church rests on a foundation of logs and stone extended between the tops of the south gate towers of the Roman-era Babylon Fortress, creating the illusion that the church was suspended in the air and giving the church the name Al-Muallaka, meaning “the Hanging” or “the Suspended.” Centuries of accumulated debris have raised the ground level around the church by about 20 feet, nearly burying the towers and eliminating the illusion, but entering the church still requires climbing 29 steps. The interior of the church has been remodeled repeatedly, but one of its most distinctive features remains. The vaulted wooden ceiling is reportedly intended to
suggest an inverted Noah’s ark. Seven huge icons above the altar are among the church’s 110 icons, one of which, called the “Coptic Mona Lisa” because of its iconic portrayal of Mary and the infant Jesus, was created in the eighth century. In the late 10th century, the Fatimid Caliph who ruled Cairo reportedly challenged Patriarch Abraham, who had recently remodeled the church, to prove that faith could move mountains, as Jesus had taught. Copts believe that after Abraham prayed for three days to Mary’s icon, she appeared and gave him the power to cause a section of a mountain near Cairo to break off and move, earning the Caliph’s favor. Whether or not the story is true, the Hanging Church remains a symbol of the ongoing Christian history of Egypt, and the mountain is still called “Mokattam,” meaning “broken off mountain.” Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
