Dispatches Grand Park water fountains back on – The water fountains were winterized and unavailable during the winter, but they were turned on when the season began. They will be winterized again at the end of the season. Just like Westfield parks and the county parks, water fountains are turned off during the winter to avoid damage to the pipes.

On May 9, various representatives from the city including Mayor Andy Cook, Grand Park Director Ken Alexander, under construction Juergen Sommer, executive director of field sports at LST Marketing, Kevin Manship with Jonathan Byrd’s Fieldhouse and others, allowed an exclusive media tour of the Grand Park Events Center to open in July. Media was able to tour all aspects of the facility and see the progress as well as the construction currently under way. The 370,000-square-foot facility includes 40,000 square feet of office, retail, cafeteria and athletic space and three, full-size soccer fields. Meeting space and locker rooms are also included, and the space is designed for conventions or large-scale events. The lower food court and cafeteria contain 250 seats inside and 100 seats on the patio. Cook said currently, nearly all of the 40,000 square feet of office, retail, athletic and restaurant space has been leased or is under negotiation. Upstairs, there are two, suite-like areas to showcase the soccer fields for either student athletes, recruits or parents. “We really wanted to create a space where it felt like you were at Lucas Oil Stadium,” Alexander said.
“You have that suite feel, and it was important for us to have you engaged with the athlete or whatever is (happening on) the surfaces or the center field.” There is a restaurant in the upstairs area as for 21-and-older patrons only. Local beer will be served with an upscale buffet. “We are trying to cater to anyone that may come out here, whether that be athletes, mom or dad or the coaches,” Alexander said. Force Barbell, currently in Fishers, will have a high-performance training facility for athletes and a separate area for parents. “One of the things we see a lot of at the current facility is mom and dad just hang out in the lobby or go back to their cars when they drop their kids off,” Tyler Miller, owner of Force Barbell, said. “We want to be able to give mom and dad the same opportunity to train while the kids are at training.” “We are trying to compliment other activities at the park and not only cater to the athlete,” Alexander added. The Grand Park Events Center is set to open July 8, with a grand-opening weekend July 21 to 23. “Grand Park itself is already very viable, and you can see that in growth and impact on central Indiana,” Alexander said. “This will bring a 12-month facility to allow for November and December to be just as important as June and July.”

Kane wins art scholarship
Authors visit Barnes and Noble

From left, Katie Baldwin with author Sharon Biggs Waller and Jennifer Baldwin meet at the event.
Hallie Kane has been drawing her whole life, and when she decided to submit an acrylic painting to the Herron award School of Art and Design’s 2016 High School Junior Art Invitational, she was mostly experimenting with the medium. When she won first place for her acrylic “Self-Portrait,” she said she was shocked. “All the artwork there was really fantastic, so it was kind of a shocker,” Kane, a junior at Westfield High School, said. “This was my first actual, intense project with acrylics. It was a new experience for me, and it was really cool.” For winning first place, Kane received a $2,000 scholarship to the Herron School of Art and Design and an $800 summer workshop to prepare her for college and help with building her portfolio. But despite the scholarship, Kane said she plans on attending University of Toronto for art and creative writing. “Self-Portrait” was on display until the end of last month, and Kane now has her work back in her own hands. Kane said her art teacher, Lindsay Frey,

played an instrumental part in shaping her desire to draw and create art. “She’s a really great teacher, and she understands values and stuff really well, so I owe a lot of my success to her,” she said. Kane said it took approximately one month to finish the piece, which she painted while completing other schoolwork at the same time. “I didn’t have a whole lot of time to work on it because of homework, so I would paint while listening to books on tape for English class just so I could save as much time as I could,” she said.

Cartoonist Campbell wins again By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Shortly after Current in Carmel launched in 2006, Tim Campbell decided to try his hand at an editorial cartoon. recognition His first cartoon? Having a little fun with Carmel’s roundabouts. Campbell had noticed Current was looking for submissions. “I drew up a sketch and sent it to (executive vice president/general manager) Steve Greenberg in an Campbell email, and he sent me an email within 15 minutes and asked if I could do this all the time. That’s where it started,” Campbell said. Now, nearly 10 years later, the 57-year-old Carmel resident won his third consecutive first-place award for an editorial cartoon in the Society of Professional Journalists Best in Indiana Journalism awards contest last month. It was the fifth time Campbell had won the contest. His winning cartoon was about the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles accounting scandal. He also took third place on New England quarterback Tom Brady breaking his cellphone during the “deflategate” debacle.

“Any time I can make fun of the New England Patriots, those are ones that I like a lot,” Campbell said. “I enjoy doing cartoons on Indiana issues more than national issues.” Campbell is a freelance illustrator, with his biggest client being the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, and he teaches classes on fundamentals of design and color theory at Ivy Tech. Campbell said he has received feedback on cartoons that are about area politicians. “I’ve gotten responses that they are kind of flattered by it,” Campbell said. “Any publicity is good publicity — they kind of take that attitude about it.”

Council hears presentations on DWA, city clean-up Compiled by Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
On May 9, the Westfield City Council held a meeting and heard multiple presentations, as well as approved items and heard new introductions on the agenda. What happened: Communications Director Erin Murphy gave a special presentation on the Westfield Clean-up Initiative. What it means: Murphy highlighted multiple actions the city will be taking to encourage cleanliness, such as implementing two bulk trash days, the first of which was May 14 and the second which will take place Oct. 8. “This is something Mayor Andy Cook felt was important to show how proud we are of our community and make our community one of the cleanest in the state and country,” Murphy said. She also said monthly cleanups of U.S. 31 would take place, monthly trash pick-ups of trails and parks would occur and therefore lead to more trashcans placed on trails. What happened: Downtown Westfield Association Executive Director Teresa Skelton presented 2016 goals for the DWA. What it means: In addition to the farmers market returning to the DWA and continuing to enhance the business district in downtown Westfield, Skelton mentioned Party on the Patio will return monthly on the fourth Wednesday of the months June through October. What happened: The council approved the expansion of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation Cemetery. What it means: The cemetery, on the northwest corner of U.S. 31 and 161st Street, will expand and also construct a trail along the perimeter within 12 months of the renovations. What happened: The council approved an amendment to the Springmill Trails Planned Unit Development to allow for a church to be constructed. What it means: This would allow for the construction of Northview Christian Life Church on the southeast corner of Casey Road and 186th Street (11 acres.) The 23,000-square-foot church added masonry along the south, west and north sides of the building as well as additional landscaping, since its appearance before the plan commission April 18. What happened: The Open Doors PUD District was introduced to the council. It was passed on to the plan commission. A public hearing will be held June 6. What it means: The city has been working with Open Doors to find a new location for the food pantry. A parcel of land has been chosen at west of Tomlinson Road and north of 191st Street near Monon Trails Elementary School. The next city council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. May 23 at Westfield City Hall, 130 Penn St.

Brothers pair for Eagle Scout project By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Troop 107 Life Scout brothers Patrick and John Ryan only have their Eagle Scout project standing in the way of them reaching the final rank in Boy Scouts. Both parks boys recently presented their plans to Westfield Parks Director Melody Jones and neighbors near Raymond Worth Park, 16301 Little Creek Ave., the location of their projects. Patrick will build a two-tent sleeping platform and John will create a four-season deck overlooking the pond at Raymond Worth Park. “It has to be long-lasting, a lot of people put it in the words of going there with your kids and saying, ‘I built that,’” John, a Westfield High School sophomore, said of the project. “It has to benefit the community in some way,” Patrick, a freshman, added. Both boys must raise all the money for their projects, and they must complete all design plans themselves. The projects will cost $2,800 total. The boys have each set up their own GoFundMe page to raise the money. “We try to focus the boys on projects that impact Westfield,” said Mike Ryan, the boys’ father and a leader for Troop 107. “We try to have the (Scouts) give back to the community. If we can provide the boys with projects out there, it saves the city money, so it’s a win-win.” The projects both began in August, and designing lasted from September to February. The boys are still fundraising. The Ryans camp frequently, which was where Patrick said

he got the raised platform idea. “A lot of times, we go to campsites that are farther away, so something that’s within 20 minutes is really nice,” John said of his brother’s project. To donate, visit www.gofundme.com/PatricksEagleProj and www.gofundme.com/JohnREagleProject.

Elementary Education, Miami University, Ohio. Why did you become a teacher? “Growing up, I had some great teachers and some not-so-great teachers. Those great teachers took time to get to know me beyond my academic skills. By developing a relationship with me, those great teachers made me want to be a better student. I became a teacher so that I could do the same for my students and have a positive impact on them, academically and emotionally.” What goals do you have for your students? “I want my students to learn that it is OK to make mistakes. It is only from our mistakes that we can truly grow as a learner.” What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen their skills? “I encourage parents to simply spend uninterrupted time with their children. Life can be very busy, but it is so important take whatever little time you have and sit down together and talk about each other’s day.” Favorite movie: “The Notebook.” Favorite musician or band. “Sixteen Candles, a local ’80s cover band.” Something your students might not know about you? “My father was a Drill Sergeant in the Army, so I had the chance to live in many different places while growing up. I’ve lived in Colorado, Hawaii, Korea, Georgia and Ohio.”

Westfield man works with police, neighbors to promote use of phone app

Yet Aaron Sherrick of Westfield encourages a different type of social media mobile application to promote networkSherrick said some residents use Nextdoor as a way to utilize technology as a garage sale tool or to offer services.
ing between the Westfield neighborhoods, the Westfield Police Dept. and the city. Sherrick, who lives in the Countryside neighborhood, said his homeowners association wanted to find a way to communicate to neighborhood residents. Nextdoor, a start-up app out of California, became the solution. “Another neighborhood reached out and

said there was an online site called Nextdoor up and starting. The neighbor was like, ‘This might be a good tool to start using,’” Sherrick said. “Really what drew me to it was the ability to get the neighbors signed up on it and be able to use it as a community tool. It also had a feature called ‘alerts,’ so if there was something you had to get out there quickly, you could send out an alert that would send

an email or a text to the user.” Sherrick began using the app in his neighborhood in 2013 and also involved Countryside’s neighborhood watch with the alert feature. He began working with Assistant Police Chief Scott Jordan to spread the word to other neighborhoods. “We kind of took advantage of it because it’s a great opportunity for us to communicate with all residents a little differently and utilize technology to help us do that,” Jordan said. “It helped us enhance communication with all the residents and neighborhoods.” Police can send out neighborhood-specific or city-wide alerts to notify residents of crime, such as burglaries. “We started using Nextdoor to communicate crime reports to the neighborhoods that the police sent to me, and I would post it so others could see it,” Sherrick said. “It really wasn’t anything other than maybe some speeding tickets or vandalism type stuff, but it was also a way to communicate knowledge like locking your cars at night. The police could communicate through me to the neighborhoods with information they wanted to share.” All established neighborhoods in Westfield are set up on the Nextdoor site, and only the individual neighborhoods can see each other’s posts. The site verifies addresses, so posts on the site are from different residents in the neighborhoods. “Nextdoor has become a great feature for the city to communicate to us through, the communications department posts information to the neighborhoods like press releases or anything city related,” Sherrick said. “The city’s been doing a good job on social media lately, they’re using many avenues, and Nextdoor is one of them.” Sherrick said neighbors also use the site as an online garage sale tool, for lost pet alerts or to share snow-shoveling tips. The app is free. For more, visit nextdoor.com. Neighbors can select which nearby public neighborhood posts they want to view on their app.

Carpool lines reprise
F RO M THE CO M M UNIT Y
The prez race of all time? Whatever else is said, this may be the most unique presidential election cycle in our lifetime. We have seen that the Republicans really are the party of the Big Tent. The tent got so big, in fact, those that thought they were in charge of the tent found themselves being pushed out the front flap. The Republicans began with 17 contenders: one establishment type backed by big donors; one successful businesswoman; one brilliant, African-American surgeon; two sons of immigrants who are Latino; and then the senators and governors and a billionaire capitalist. Not the usual suspects. Republicans didn’t get any credit for diversity. We have seen the silent majority give up on the powers that be - the “establishment” - and look for an outsider. As soon as a candidate gained establishment support, his numbers dropped like a stone. Then there are the Democrats: an anointed nominee-to-be and an old Socialist, who was allowed to compete under the Democrats’ banner to create the illusion of a race. But, suddenly, it became a real race as the harmless, old Socialist became a raging tiger with his own supporters that have also given up on their “establishment.” The angst of the silent majority and the alienation of the young created the rise of outsider candidates. Now, America is seeing for the first time the arcane and convoluted convention rules put in place by the establishment just in case, this whole democracy thing got out of hand. To paraphrase a famous actress, fasten your seatbelts; it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Luci Snyder is a Carmel resident and a former member of the Carmel City Council.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Economic engines of today Commentary by Terry Anker The Kentucky Derby is a horse race. The Indianapolis 500 is an auto race. The Super Bowl is a football game. While each of these is a true statement, it would be a gross mischaracterization to consider them to have been complete in their assessments of the various events. Individually, they have become their own spectaculars. They are enormous economic engines – driving everything from local hotel room revenue to, at nearby homes, lawn parking opportunities. They bring scads of less- tangible bragging rights to the communities that welcome the proceedings. In some cases, almost non-stop media coverage delivers millions of dollars of attention to that city. We clean things up at home before we invite company in for a party. Yet, as the frenzy reaches its zenith, have we lost track of the original objective? Or in adding half-time shows, hat-parades and snake-pit balls, are we simply expanding the
reach to include more members of our communities who might otherwise be uninspired by a sporting event? Some would argue the competing objectives incompatible – they grumble about gadflies who are only interested in celebrity sightings and wouldn’t know a carburetor from a filly. Maybe they have a point. But, can’t we allow for both perspectives to hold sway? Can’t we hope for the brackish water between the points of view that will help us find better understanding? As we Hoosiers prepare to host the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500, consider attending a new event. Consider participating in a different way. If cars don’t interest, – this year, learn one thing about the machines. And if snake pits sound unappealing, well, buy an anti-venom. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q UOTE O F THE WEEK Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.
– Vince Lombardi
As the school year draws to a close, let us re-visit one last parenting skill that some of you still have yet to master, humor even though you’ve had 10, long months of practice. I’m speaking, obviously, of the carpool line. Please take note. My already fragile sanity can’t withstand any more parking-lot shenanigans. 1. Recognize that there is a carpool line. Every time, for every event. If you don’t see it immediately upon arrival, that’s because you are the first, and as such, will be despised by everyone else. Find the pick-up zone, pull through and turn off the engine! Your gas-guzzling Suburban poisons my kid’s air when you idle for 20 minutes. 2. For the normal parent who arrives within a reasonable window of time, simply go to the end of the line. Avoid blocking parked cars, entrances and exits, and oncoming traffic. (I’ve actually seen this happen.) Occasionally you’ll be required to execute a U-turn to join in; please do so with competence. 3. Pay attention! These things can move like lightening once kids emerge. You need to be ready to pull forward at a moment’s notice. If you’re texting your bestie about brunch and miss your cue, I will honk at you. 4. Have your doors unlocked and preferably open so as to expedite loading. Instruct your passengers to dive in as soon as you slow down. Speed is important at this juncture; there’s no time for stowing backpacks or stopping. Rock and roll, people! 5. Don’t start a conversation with another adult out your window! I sat behind someone the other day for two minutes while she yakked it up (and her offspring struggled to get the trunk open. See No. 4). My welltrained daughter was standing by at the ready, but Social Butterfly was blocking our exit. Carpool lines are a necessary evil, but they don’t have to be a nightmare. Just follow the rules! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Armstrongs settle in Westfield Commentary by Zach Burton For Countryside residents, Westfield’s Armstrong Park is a convenient green space for outdoor activities. But researching back in the day the namesakes for this patch of land reveals one of the most remarkable families to ever call Westfield home. The Armstrong family arrived in Westfield in 1873. Jefferson Armstrong, the family’s patriarch, had been a slave in Missouri, as had his eldest son, Edward. Edward earned his freedom after serving with the Union Army in Kansas and Alabama during the Civil War. He married twice after moving to Westfield, with an initial marriage to Laura Bell Hord and the second to Sarah Roberts. Edward and Sarah had five sons: Isaac, Irven, Ezekiel, Charles and Lindzey. All five sons graduated from Westfield High School beginning in 1909, and the five Armstrong brothers served in the U.S. Army during the first World War. Irven served as a sergeant in the 351st Field Artillery in France. Having been a teacher at Indianapolis Public School Number 17 prior to going overseas, he received many letters from students and admirers back home in

Indianapolis.” Following the War Irven returned to teaching, this time as a history teacher at Crispus Attucks High School. Charles spent his life as a minister for the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Ezekiel Armstrong never married and returned to Westfield after many years spent in Michigan, becoming the last of the five brothers to live in the Westfield community.

Where’s Amy? I celebrated actor Chris Mann’s birthday and took a backstage tour of “Phantom of the Opera” for Current. In “Phantom of the Opera,” he was phenomenal and stunning in the newly updated version, which blew into town at the Old National Centre. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical has always been one of my favorites because it is mysterious and magical, as a story of love, adventure and betrayal. Mann, along with his talented cast, mesmerized the sold-out crowds.

a theatrical person at various stages of her life. “Belle’s vulnerability in that sense is what makes her so relatable to so many audiences.” Bonnett’s favorite past roles include Jo in “Little Women,” Cinderella in “Into the Woods” and Janet van de Graat in “The Drowsy Chaperone,” all three at Civic Theatre. Obviously, she loves playing strong, female characters. “Those characters are so important because they are great role models for young girls. For example, Belle has greater aspirations than just romance. It’s important for a girl to see herself in another character, and young girls can see and go, ‘Oh, I can do that,’” she said. Just like Bonnett did.

Bartenders reunite at Prime 47 By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Catherine Federspiel made the switch from Ruth’s Chris Steak House – then at 96th Street and Keystone Parkway – dining three years ago. She settled into Prime 47 in Carmel and all was well, but she was missing her work partner, Bobby Hodge, who remained at Ruth’s Chris Steak House for another three years. After the steakhouse moved into the Ironworks development at 86th Street and Keystone Parkway, Hodge decided to follow his long-time friend over to Prime 47 last month. Hodge served at Ruth’s Chris for just shy of 17 years, but he admitted the transition to Prime 47 was easy. He chalked that up to Federspiel. “My wife calls Cat my work wife,” he said, laughing. “One of the big reasons I came here is because I’m with somebody who I know has got my back.” “We work really well together,” Federspiel added. “People from the past have come over here now because, not only am I here, but he’s here, too. Somebody said (having us both here) was like Christmas.”
Bobby Hodge and Catherine Federspiel are now both bartenders at Prime 47 in Carmel after working together at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Indianapolis for a decade. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
The pair normally works together Thursday through Saturday evenings. They both admit that Prime 47 is similar to a “Cheers”-type bar. “We care about what happens in our guests’ families and their lives,” Federspiel said. “We send them cards and birthday stuff.” “We get to know the guest; we talk to them about them,” Hodge added. “We let them in our lives, too. It’s more of a family.”

‘Bat Boy’ now on stage at TOTS By Zach Dunkin • editorial@youarecurrent.com With directorship of “Miss Gulch Returns,” “Holy Ficus,” “The Great Bike Race” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” theater on his résumé, it’s no surprise director Zack Neiditch is taking on “Bat Boy: The Musical,” running through May 21 at Theatre on the Square. “I love this musical,” Neiditch said. “It’s wellmade and fast and funny, and I love its sense humor. So much of my own work tends to be stuff that; on the surface, it can seem a little silly or campy, but once you crack into it, you see something more to it.” In the musical’s book, written by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming in 1997, Bat Boy (played by Justin Klein) is discovered in a cave and taken to the town veterinarian, Dr. Parker (Dave Ruark). He eventually is accepted as a member of the Parker family and taught to act like a “normal” boy by the vet’s wife, Meredith (Mindy Morton), and teenage daughter, Shelley (Devan Mathias). Shelley and Bat Boy fall in love, run away together and have a blissful coupling in the woods. But their happiness is shattered when Meredith arrives and reveals a secret that – spoiler alert – she’s Bat Boy’s mother.

“I think people accept this show because it’s so funny,” Neiditch said. “What gets people into the theater is, like, ‘Really? A musical about Bat Boy? Okay, let’s try it.’ And then once they’re in for the ride, they’re smacked with catchy song after song and then left with an actual emotional journey at the end.” The musical originally was written for a cast of 10 people to play all 22 roles. During its first run at TOTS, the traditional casting is followed, with the four Parkers and the other six actors managing everything else. “So, the men wear dresses and the ladies don beards, and there’s just nothing better,” Nieditch said.

Prague’s deadly windows Commentary by Don Knebel Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is one of the most beautiful and peaceful cities travel in modern Europe. Ironically, the city’s name has long been associated with a brutal way of settling religious scores. Prague was founded in the ninth century on a hill that now includes the largest castle complex in the world. In approximately 1402, Jan Hus, a Prague priest, began preaching against what he saw as the excesses of the Roman Catholic Church. After Catholics burned Hus at the stake for heresy in 1415, his “Hussite” followers continued advocating for religious reforms. In 1419, a group of Hussites marched to Prague’s New Town Hall, which had been built southeast of the original city by Charles IV, the King of Bohemia. The marchers demanded the release of sympathizers being held prisoner by local officials. When someone inside threw a rock, the Hussites stormed the building and New Town Hall in Prague. (Photo by Don Knebel) tossed the chief magistrate and out the window.

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 non-native 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. You can learn more about these plants through the Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society website, www.INPAWS.org.
