City, officials open sports complex

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Since Grand Park opened in March, it has had nearly 400,000 people pass through the gates for the first time. On June 20 through grand park 22, city and state officials joined residents in celebrating the official opening of the sports complex, what it has achieved and what remains in its bright future. “It’s more than just dirt, more than just a revenue stream. That’s what makes it special,” Seputy Mayor Todd Burtron said. “It isn’t the government folks that put this together. I may throw out some wacky ideas but it’s really funny to watch all of our citizens follow us and create this wacky stuff,” Mayor Andy Cook said, adding the success of Grand Park can already be seen. “We’ve put $30 million into the Hoosier economy that did not exist last year and will continue to grow.” The weekend kicked off June 20 with a concert featuring Dave & Rae and concluded with a 5K family fun run/walk on June 22. In addition to live music, food offerings, a kids fun zone and 50-foot Ferris wheel, the park had its official ribbon cutting. “In Westfield we’ve realized big dreams have accomplished big things and we are still dreaming,” City Council President Jim Ake said. Gov. Mike Pence called Grand Park “Indiana’s Field of Dreams” and an “awesome, awesome example of a private-public partnership.” “What’s been done here is a contribution, not just to the City of Westfield, not just to Hamilton County and not just to the State of Indiana. What you have done here in true Hoosier style is come together as leaders and citizens and build the largest multipurpose youth sports complex in the United States of America,” he said. “I want to celebrate with you

today as fellow Hoosiers because people all across this state and all across this country will be the beneficiaries of what you’ve done here.” While Grand Park is about youth sports and youth sports development, Pence said make no mistake about it, what the city has done is economic development. “We know this is a state that works, but when we see not just athletes but families coming from all over the country to see what happens here in Indiana, I just know it means opportunities for generations to come,” he said. “This will be a place where families gather, where memories are made, where even a soccer coach gets pulled over to the baseball side, and it’s going to be a place where dreams come true for so many people.” Pence said when the nation thinks youths sports they’ll be thinking Grand Park. “When kids across America say, ‘Take me out to the ballpark,’ more often than not – for generations – they are going to be headed for the Hoosier state,” he said. Steve Henke, developer of Grand Park, said it was hard to describe the feelings he had at the opening. “We’ve been working on this for four to five years and the city’s been working even longer,” he said. “I know we’ve achieved the goal – the best, biggest and highest quality.” Henke said the important part of the development was to keep it as a park, which contains 10 miles of trails and will eventually connect to the Monon Trail. “The quality of lifestyle it helps bring to Westfield was a steadfast vision on this. It’s something that the mayor has really pushed on for economic initiatives. It’s been an incredible public-private partnership,” he said. TO read more vist currentinwestfield.com

Plans for a new indoor soccer facility were unveiled at the Grand Park Grand Opening. (Submitted rendering)

$20M indoor facility coming to park Plans for a new indoor soccer facility unveiled at the Grand Park grand opening

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com After describing how important Grand Park will be to the economic development of Westfield, Mayor Andy Cook developmEnt announced that Holladay Properties has committed to build a $20 million indoor sports facility at the sports complex. “We are thrilled to announce this partnership between the City of Westfield and Holladay Properties,” said Cook. “An indoor facility will make Grand Park a tourism destination year round. Since Grand Park opened in March, developers have been inquiring about building hotels and restaurants around the park, this will solidify those interests.” The 370,000 square foot, state-of-the-art building will house three full-size professional soccer fields that can be used for recreational play and competitive play for all field sports. The building will also have office space, locker rooms, meeting rooms and a restaurant focused on family dining. Cook said the facility will be built between Parking Lot C and 191st Street. “It will lend a huge, 12-month atmosphere to this park,” Cook said. “This facility is being 100 percent financed by the private sector, not your government.” Chris Wilkes, senior vice president of Holladay

Properties, said the goal is to break ground on the facility in 60 to 90 days with a target opening for next summer. “Grand Park is clearly the nation’s best sports park, and with the addition of an indoor sports facility of this size and magnitude, Grand Park will be able to hold major sporting events and provide significant economic impact on a yearround basis,” he said. Wilkes, a Westfield resident, said he has been interested in constructing a project in the city he has called home for the past 13 years for a while. “Since I work in real estate development, I’ve thought ‘how can we bring our trade to be involved in Westfield?’” he said, adding that the idea came to him when he was touring Grand Park this winter. “It’s such a frozen tundra in winter. It’s (the fields) going to be frozen, we need something with a year-long facility,” Wilkes said planning for the building began in January. Jonathan Byrd’s will be the official catering company of the indoor facility. The south side Indianapolis restaurant, which is expanding to the northside, will be open in the facility and will offer family-friendly dining with several food stations throughout the restaurant. “Grand Park is just an absolutely incredible complex and it’s going to be an amazing addition to the sports landscape of the greater Central Indiana area,” stated Ginny Byrd of Jonathan Byrd’s. “It’s truly an honor to be able to work with the City of Westfield to bring Jonathan Byrd’s brand to Grand Park and to have a place in the amazing facility that is being constructed in Westfield.”

Cultural Collaborative hopes to define ‘heart and soul’ of Westfield By Navar Watson • news@currentinwestfield.com

Amidst all the construction and growth, the Cultural Collaborative of Westfield is aiming to find the city’s core identity engagement – and it needs citizens’ help. “When we love our city as we love another person, we will go to extraordinary lengths to defend her,” City Council President Jim Ake said at a June 19 public forum at the Westfield Washington Public Library, 333 W. Hoover St. This was the second and last forum the Cultural Collaborative held, where they surveyed residents on what they like about Westfield and what they feel needs to be improved. The end goal is to present a strategic plan to funders telling them “this is what we want to happen” in Westfield, consultant Peggy Monson of Impact LLC said. The Cultural Collaborative, funded by a grant from Hamilton County Tourism and the Legacy Fund, hopes to present this plan by December. “I am so excited about (this project),” Mayor Andy Cook said. “I think when a lot of cities take off (on) growth and building things, they tend to forget their history and their culture.” Approximately 20 people attended the forum, about half the attendance of the first forum on June 12. Citizens split into groups to take the surveys and discuss possible improvements for Westfield, later they presented their thoughts. One group pushed for more inclusion of the city’s Quaker heritage, suggesting a Quaker Day and a trail with historical markers throughout the city. They also recommended a trolley system that would connect the Grand Junction area – or “new” Westfield – to the old Westfield. Veronica Charles of the Public Engagement Committee, however, said her group opposed the idea of labeling an “old” and “new” Westfield, rather than considering them one. Resident Gloria Del Greco voiced her disapproval of the name “Grand Junction,” saying it took away from the identity of the city. Others suggested it be labeled “Westfield Grand Junction” instead.

“You’re losing the town,” Del Greco said about removing the city’s name. “You’re giving the town away.” Other groups agreed to have more signage telling drivers when they have entered Westfield and when they are leaving. Ake said there will be more signage once the construction on U.S. 31 is finished. A common concern among the groups was the lack of entertainment and nightlife in Westfield. When residents have friends come and visit, they often travel outside of the city to find entertainment, Ake said. He said this was a key concern among the people at the first forum, most of who were in their mid-30s – the average age of Westfield residents. Citizens also said the city’s utilities were too overwhelming and should be buried like they are in Noblesville, Carmel and surrounding areas. At the end of the meeting, Ake said the Collaborative will “tabulate” everyone’s comments and online surveys and report the findings. “I think it’ll be good for everybody (in the end),” Ake said. “Everybody’s going to have a little of give and take, but I think it will be a very, very positive exercise in creating a unique Westfield experience.” These surveys were all a part of defining “the heart and soul of Westfield,” Monson said. “When we have an emotional attachment to our place,” Ake said, “we’re less likely to leave it.”

County marries same-sex couples By Navar Watson • news@currentinwestfield.com

NOTTINGHAM

When the news broke June 25, Renee Mueller and Teresa Tibbs’ phones rang off the hook with friends and family wishing government congratulations. A federal judge had overturned Indiana’s ban on same-sex marriage. “I didn’t think this day would ever come,” Tibbs said. Mueller and Tibbs, who live in Carmel, comprise one of several couples rushing in to the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center to receive a same-sex marriage license. For many, the overturn came as a shock. Fishers residents Angela Schaub and Dakota Conveniently located in Westfield within walking distance Baisa came with their son, Durden, shortly after to shopping & dining finding out. After applying for a license, they Just minutes away from Clay Terrace & Carmel Arts & Design District waited about an hour for a judge to marry them. Community clubhouse & swimming pool Schaub and Baisa already celebrated their wedding with friends and family on June 23, 2012 US 31 to east on 161st St. Left on Carey Rd just past – two years and two days before receiving their 169th St to right on Wetherington Dr. marriage license. “We’ve already been referring to each other as wife and wife, but now we’ll have a piece of paper to solidify it,” Schaub said. “We have the rights that everybody else has that we should have had two years ago.” Eleven same-sex marriage licenses were isfischerhomes.com/indianapolis sued in Hamilton County after the ban was lifted 317.348.2500 on June 25. Mueller and Tibbs were the sixth or ©2014 Fischer Homes, Inc. seventh couple to apply, Mueller said. “We’re part of history,” she said. The couple celebrated their marriage twice before in mass ceremonies in Washington, D.C. The second ceremony occurred during a human rights’ campaign in 2000 across from the Lincoln Memorial.

They have considered doing the ceremony on Aug. 27, to commemorate their 25th anniversary together. “That way we know it’s 25 years, and then we’ve got another 25 years of marriage to go,” Mueller said. Hours after the overturn, Hamilton County Clerk Peggy Beaver joined Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller in filing an emergency motion for a stay that would halt same-sex marriages. Baisa said she expected an appeal “because it’s Indiana.” That’s why she and Schaub got a license immediately. But there’s still a “glimmer of hope,” Baisa said, based on the “trend” of legalizing same-sex marriage in other states. Mueller asked several people in the licensing process if the marriage would stay legitimate, even if the state successfully appealed the overturn. Nobody knew the answer, she said. “It’s shocking. The last thing we ever expected in the state of Indiana was to have them say, ‘You can get married,’” Mueller said. “I don’t think anyone was expecting this at all.”

Lightning damage contained to attic The severe thunderstorms on June 24 caused damage to one Westfield residence. At 4:01 p.m., the Westfield Fire Dept. responded to 4634 Everest Dr. and upon arrival crews found light smoke inside the structure. Fire Chief Joe Lyons said crews were quickly able to determine that there was a fire in the attic area of the structure. He said that while crews were working on extinguishing the fire in the attic another crew assessed the roof and determined that the residence had been struck by lightning. Lyons said damage is estimated at $8,000 and was mostly contained to the attic area. (Submitted photo)

Public split on ‘towers’ project By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com As the decision for a potential $2.8 million landmark for the intersection of U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 grows near, Westfield resicouncil dents are becoming more vocal – both for and against it. The 100-foot towers will be created with precast concrete and stainless steel. The top and joints will be illuminated with digitally controlled LED lights, which can change colors depending on the season or special events. At the June 23 Westfield City Council meeting, 18 members from the public spoke – five were against, three were neutral, and the rest were in favor. Proponents said the project will drive economic development. “It would be a shame to pass up this opportunity to create this highly visible work of art,” resident Mic Mead said. “The landmarks say to the world, ‘We are confident, we’ve arrived, this is the place.’” Brian Morales is not opposed to a gateway enhancement, but said he wished the scope of the project was smaller and less costly. “I wish it was a smaller scale that brings out the history instead of a modern look that could be out of date in 30 years. Westfield will continue to grow with or without the towers,” he said. Resident Chris Blutto said he supports the towers concept, but was realistic. During the presentation, the GJTG used examples of iconic designs such as the St. Louis Arch, Seattle Space Needle and Eiffel Tower. Blutto said those structures are different because they are places people can visit and are not “viewed other than (from) 60 miles per hour.” “I like it, I don’t agree with it on the highway.

Children should be able to view it and take it in and authors write about it,” he said. “What is the next step in ensuring this becomes a true iconic piece than just a highway design?” Ken Kingshill, chairman of the Grand Junction Task Group, said the project is the result of “two years of dreaming and drawing.” It was initiated by Mayor Andy Cook who asked the group to dream big and come up with “something iconic.” “The Ind. 32 interchange is downtown Westfield’s most visible gateway and the place where most visitors will form their first impressions of the Grand Junction brand,” Kingshill said. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. These things don’t happen every day and there is a risk of not doing anything.”

the cost Westfield solicited bids for the project earlier this year, and announced at the council meeting that it received five proposals ranging from $2.45 million to $3.07 million. Ken Kingshill, chairman of the Grand Junction Task Group, said the cost includes lighting and installation and the price is “about as much as a roundabout.” As INDOT begins work at the intersection, it is installing the foundations for the towers at a price of $300,000 each tower. Kingshill said this cost is included in INDOT’s $350 million highway overhaul, but city leaders need to decide soon whether to proceed. If approved, City Council President Jim Ake said the project will be funded from the proceeds of the utility sale. He said it would cost 3 percent of the total budget and because of other federal and state funding received the U.S. 31 landmarks would not affect any other item from the predetermined list of city needs. “The city is fiscally healthy. I would not stand here and speak to this if the city couldn’t afford the towers,” he said.

City increases ambulance fees By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Fire Dept. has amended its fee schedule for emergency medical services and charge fees from citipublic safety zens. City Attorney Brian Zaiger said the change “brings fees up to where they should be allowed by the state and county.” Charges, which were approved unanimously on June 23 and are now effective, are $425 for basic life support service, $525 for advanced life support I, $700 for advanced life support, nontransport and $656 for specialty case transport, $525 for Advance Life Support Assessment, as well as $12 per loaded mile, and an additional $200 for non-residents within the terms and meanings of the Indiana Medical Act and other applicable laws. Fire Chief Joe Lyons said the department has not increased its fees since 2008. “We’re increasing them to what Medicare pays for. We’re been undercharging for ambulance runs,” he said. “We’re raising the mileage rate for residents and adding a non-residential fee.” In addition to the EMS changes, the cost for all special events requiring or requesting attendance of Westfield Fire personnel was changed. The following fees now apply: • BLS trained firefighter – $45 per hour • Ambulance (non-staffed) – $200 per day • EMS Cart – $100 per day

red, white & plenty to do City plans for sixthannual Westfield Rocks the 4th celebration

Main Stage

4:15 to 6:30 p.m. – Stella Luna & the Satellites 7 to 9:30 p.m. – Endless Summer Band 9:40 to 10:15 p.m. – Mayor Andy Cook speaks, salute to the armed forces, presentation of colors by Westfield American Legion Post 318 and Westfield VFW Post 10207 and singing of the National Anthem by Exaltation Quartet. 10:20 p.m. – Fireworks display, set to music which can be heard in Asa Bales Park.

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Friday marks the single-largest community gathering for city – its annual Independence Day celebration, Westfield cover story Rocks the 4th. Melody Jones, Westfield parks director and event coordinator, said the six-hour event (4 to 10 p.m.) brought more than 13,000 people to downtown Westfield last year. “Neighborhoods always did their own fireworks for so long in the community. For me, it’s very gratifying to hear people say this is the community’s Fourth of July event,” she said. Westfield Rocks the 4th began in 2009. Jones said the committee learned an important lesson that first year – an all-day festival was too long. Since then the event has grown in size and activities. “It’s becoming a well-oiled machine,” Jones said. “The single biggest change has been the people stepping up and volunteering. We don’t have the staff to do an event of this level,” she said. Jones Jones said the assistance of Imagine, City Springs and Oak Spring churches and the Westfield Lions Club are crucial to the event’s success. “The great thing about a big event here is how much the volunteers step up,” Jones said.

Kids’ Area

the 4th is its location in Asa Bales Park. “The setting makes it special. Asa Bales Park is where all the festival and activities take place and there’s plenty of parking,” Jones said, adding the park also contains many mature trees. “The kids’ area is in the shade all day. By 5:30 to 6 p.m. the main lawn becomes very shady.” The event has always had main stage entertainment. In its first year, a Battle of Bands contest was held. Since then a local musical act has been hired and this year features Stella Luna & the Satellites as the opener for the second consecutive time and the Endless Summer Band as headliner. “They play everything. They are not a bar band, they change costumes,” Jones said. Jones said this year’s event will include several new features including misting fans, an ATM, and a salute to veterans. “Like Westfield in Lights, it’s the reason for the season,” Jones said. “People served because they care and that sacrifice needs to be rewarded. People need to be recognized so the community can show their appreciation.” Other improvements to traditional amenities

include the larger Headliner’s Car Show, kids’ area, The Mill Tavern’s beer garden and an extended marketplace with 39 vendors including 18 food places. “It’s more than we ever had,” Jones said. The kids’ area, presented by Imagine Church, will offer fun games and activities for kids of all ages such as face painting, a photo booth, five different bounce houses and more – and all activities are completely free. “The kids’ area will be bigger and better than it’s ever been,” Jones said. Jones said the Westfield Intermediate and Middle schools are completely open for parking, as is the north side of Westfield High School. While Hoover Street will be closed off between Union Street and Shamrock Drive beginning Friday morning, the surrounding streets and City Hall will be open. “There’s lots of adjacent parking and four trail connections to Asa Bales Park,” she said, adding Handicap parking will be available in the first row of WMS. “They’ll be on pavement the entire way from the parking lot to the park. We’re trying to make an effort this year.”

Jones said the car show awards begin at 8 p.m. and once done that area is open for residents. “Those that coming just for fireworks, these parking lots will be open back up probably around 8:30 p.m. for the public,” she said. “Access really is the same as it was last year.”

Rock the 4th at Asa Bales

It’s nearly here with a promise to be bigger and better in its fifth year. We’re talking about our city’s Independence Day celebration, Westfield Rocks the 4th, of which Current in Westfield is a proud and continuing sponsor. We urge you to plan a visit to Asa Bales Park for the city’s largest community gathering on July 4. As we’ve noted, the Headliner’s Car Show is going to be twice as large as what you might have seen last year, the Kids Area will feature new activities, the live entertainment by ESB and Stella Luna will help you rock the day (and night) away and the fireworks show will be of unprecedented scale and splendor. Toss in The Mill Tavern’s beverage garden and a wide array of summertime festival food and marketplace vendors, and it seems to us to be a can’t-miss proposition. For more information, call 804-3184 or e-mail jmcbride@westfield.in.gov. ••• Pay attention! Indiana Code states that fireworks must be used either on the user’s property or on the property of someone who has given permission. The user must be 18 or be using the fireworks under adult supervision and must not use the fireworks after 11 p.m. or before 9 a.m., except on a holiday, when the hours extend to midnight. ••• Rob Garrett, Ameriana Bank assistant vice president and Westfield Banking Center manager, and his team have done a phenomenal job of having Ameriana play host to the Marketplace at Westfield. You know it as the Westfield Farmers’ Market, but by any name it has shown itself to be a gem. The season runs through August from 5 to 8 p.m. Fridays at 3333 East Ind. 32 (at Carey Road). If you’re seeking fresh produce from local growers and goods from Indiana artisans, this is the place to find it. For more information, call 867-7740.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

App–lying genius to life Commentary by Terry Anker For those of us among the uninitiated, software for the increasingly ubiquitous so-called smartphone is referred to as Apps rather than the standard desk or laptop parlance where such things are identified as “programs.” The expression is the diminutive of the software “application” that is how one might hope to use the program to accomplish an objective. With the game-changing introduction of the iPhone some years ago, Steve Jobs and his crew opened Apple’s smart phone’s interface to the world. Anyone that might have an interest in developing an application for use by the device was invited to do so. Rather than create barriers to folks imagining how we could live differently in a mobile and connected world – and perhaps even more importantly, rather than try to keep every potential dollar of software earnings from themselves – Apple lit a bonfire of creativity that is still burning bright. On my own phone, I can exchange a unit of measure or currency into any

other instantly. I can not only check the status of my flight but can actually see the incoming plane’s location on a map. I can watch a movie. I can post to social media. I can buy a book then read it on my screen. There are many thousands of applications eager to be downloaded and hopeful to become indispensable. Without doubt, some are not so requisite. A quick perusal of any teenager’s phone will show a sophomoric retinue of silly games and amusing contrivances designed to pass the time. But isn’t the lesson that sometimes an open architecture, like and open mind, can invite genius along with the distracting? My favorite is a flashlight app that uses the flash from the camera phone to light the way. I’d be app-lying if I didn’t admit I love it!

Q U O T E   O F  T H E   W E E K “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

- Marcel Proust

Let me start by saying how very sorry I am for your present “situation.” Though I have been through this phase with humor my own children, I had forgotten just how stressful keeping a newly-minted toddler alive is. I’ve spent the better part of a week with three of my nieces – twins who just turned 2 and a 20-month old – and I am downright exhausted. My house is a disaster, my new mini-van has been dutifully christened with spilled Goldfish and half a box of Kleenex, and my thankful prayers to Mother Mary for having children old enough to fend for themselves have increased tenfold. I thought I’d successfully block this own period of my life, but with this full immersion into parenting precocious rug rats, traumatic memories are returning at an astonishing rate. My mantra for the past few days has been, “Find a happy place, find a happy place.” But you don’t need to hear about my experiences; you’re actually living them right now. Every nap waylaid by five minutes of shuteye on the way home from Kroger; every cell phone snagged and thrown to the tile floor; every near-drowning and third-degree sunburn at the water park; I could go on and on. Your entire life is being dictated by a funny-looking short person who can barely speak, and who doesn’t give a full diaper about you getting a good night’s sleep or a peaceful dinner out. They really are the most selfish creatures on the planet, these tiny 2-year-olds. Your entire day must revolve around their feeding times and nap times and bath times. In between all the “times,” you must stand constant vigilance lest they decide to explore the toilet or scale a bookcase. And if you parent like my sisters, you bear the added burden of feeding your kids healthy food and entertaining them sans television. (As you know, this isn’t really my style!) I’d also like to apologize for excluding you from most of my columns. As related above, I do not recall most of 2003 when my twins were 2. It’s the brain’s way of healing, I think. Additionally, teenagers provide ample fodder so there’s little need to revert back to earlier parenting days. Finally, I’d like to commend you on surviving each day with a 2-year-old, and to let you know that it will get better. Not soon, of course – I personally think the fours are the absolute worst – but eventually your child will be relatively self-sufficient and some semblance of a life will return. So until then, peace out, Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

Hammacher Schlemmer, Part II Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I was only half done making fun of the summer edition of the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog last week when my column humor ended. Here’s a look at some of my other favorite gift choices. WORLD’S SMALLEST UMBRELLA: I’m not sure, but I think a lot of folks got the wrong idea about exactly what they were buying. I went to the website where people commented on various products and consumers were saying things like: “This umbrella did not keep me dry”or “It barely covered my head.” Hey, the description said: The world’s smallest umbrella. What did these people expect? 10-FOOT-HIGH JUMPING STILTS For $495 you can purchase a pair of these spring-loaded shoes that propel you 10 feet in the air, allowing you to perform death-defying feats that will land you in the hospital. On the very same page is an ad for “Gentlemen’s Plantar Fasciitis Business Casual Shoes.” Why they didn’t combine the items in one big Buy One, Get One Free deal is beyond me. VW BUS TENT This is a tent in the shape of a full-size vintage Volkswagen bus. Now, let’s all try to figure out why a family that’s going camping—folks who love the outdoors—would want other campers to think that their entire clan is sleeping holed up in a 40-year-old bus. Here’s a better idea. Let’s build

a Volkswagen bus that looks like a pup tent. That would be a bigger seller. SOLAR LOUNGE CHAIR This lounge chair uses mini solar panels to support a USB port, which can then power your cell phone or iPad. There is a sun-powered misting device and a hydraulic recliner switch. The chair syncs with your Bluetooth, allowing you to listen to audiobooks. I am not a believer in capital punishment, but I must admit this looks like the most environmentally friendly way to fry someone in an electric chair. By the way, the manufacturer alerts the buyer that it takes four hours to charge the chair. If you have PayPal, it takes about four seconds. THE BEST INFLATABLE BED The description begins with a consumer report that says: “Many models are deflated after 24 hours.” This also sounds like a description of Miss Indiana the day after she lost the Miss America contest. HS says this is the most comfortable inflatable bed you can buy, making it about as comfortable as the least comfortable inflatable bed you can buy. Want to hear more? Don’t worry, Christmas is coming soon.

Church Basement Ladies return By Patricia Rettig • editorial@youarecurrent.com The hilarious Church Basement Ladies have cooked up an all-new show and it’s debuting this summer at Beef & Boards Dinner theatre Theatre. “A Mighty Fortress is Our Basement” will be the fourth and funniest installment yet of this popular series, and it opens July 5. No one can dish out love, life and a casserole like the Church Basement Ladies. Set in 1960, in “A Mighty Fortress is Our Basement” the gals are once again required to face the challenges of change head-on. Beverly is turning 15 and gets her first pair of high heels for confirmation; Karin is finally learning how to drive; Mrs. Snustad and Mrs. Gilmerson plan a food booth at the county fair to raise money, and the pastor announces his impending nuptials. Against the shifting tide, these pillars of the church stand strong in their faith and in their friendships with more crazy antics, more great new songs and more lessons reluctantly learned. Returning to reprise their roles are Licia Watson as Vivian Snustad, Karen Pappas as the always entertaining Mavis Gilmerson, Hillary Smith

The Church Basement Ladies offer wholesome entertainment with a sense of humor. (Submitted photo)

DISPATCHES College enrollments decline - Calculations by Bank of America Merrill Lynch show that the number of students enrolling in college fell for the second year in a row in 2013, reversing a six-year trend of sharply rising enrollments. The boom in college enrollments clearly coincided with the recession and the anemic recovery that followed. The biggest drop in enrollments, according to the National Student Clearinghouse, has been at for-profit colleges, which are controversial because they often have the highest dropout rates. Regulators have criticized for-profit schools such as the University of Phoenix and Strayer University for failing to offer support programs aimed at keeping kids in school when the going gets tough. Enrollments at traditional private and public universities rose slightly in 2013. On balance, that means more kids are attending conventional schools while fewer are attending for-profit schools.

High-frequency trading under scrutiny in the Senate - U.S. stock exchanges and one of the world’s largest mutual fund companies called for greater public disclosure or elimination of obscure incentives and fees that lawmakers said favor the interests of high-speed traders over other investors. Executives from Intercontinental Exchange, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, Bats Global Markets, IEX Group and Vanguard Group told the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations that rebate fees and payments to brokers for orders should face greater regulatory scrutiny. High-frequency traders now account for about half of U.S. stock trades. SOURCE: Bloomberg News

In my previous column, I provided a list of some questions that would be important to understand and know if you’re finance contemplating enlisting the services of a qualified financial professional. I’ll take this week to round out the list of important questions that you might want to consider when evaluating a potential advisor. How are you paid? This is usually the 800-pound elephant in clients’ minds when they think about working with an advisor. Make sure you clearly understand how and how often your advisor is compensated. Is there an initial planning fee or is there “no charge for financial planning?” My sales radar always goes up when I hear the words “free” or “no charge.” What that typically means is that the advisor must sell you something in order to get paid. Whether it’s insurance or investment-related, if they’re not charging a fee for their service, the pressure is on even more to sell you a product in order for revenue to be generated for that advisor. That doesn’t make this business model wrong — it just means you need to be aware that there is no such thing as free and that, depending on their business model, certain products may be positioned to you that aren’t necessarily in your best interest but are done so anyways to generate fees and commissions for the advisor. What do I get for your services? If you’re working with a true financial planner who is providing comprehensive financial planning services, ask to see a copy of a sample financial plan that fits a similar client profile to your circumstances. Having a working financial plan allows both the advisor and client to clearly see the longterm effects of the solutions that are proposed by the advisor rather than just looking at a single investment proposal or illustration. Are you a fiduciary? A fiduciary is someone who has a legal obligation to place their clients’ best interest ahead

of their own. They must also fully disclose what their fees are, how they’re compensated and whether they have any conflicts of interest. Here’s how you can tell: if you are paying them a flat fee or they are assessing management fees on investments, they are most likely acting as an “investment advisor” or “investment advisor representative,”, thus qualifying them as a fiduciary. If they are taking commissions on the sales of securities/products, they are acting as a registered representative of a broker/dealer and thus do not have a fiduciary obligation to you but rather a suitability obligation. This is a slight but very distinct difference, and here’s why: even if there was a lower cost investment solution for you, they could sell you the higher commissioned product as long as they can demonstrate that the investment was “suitable” for you. A fiduciary would have the legal obligation to offer you the lower cost alternative. For instance, the insurance industry does not operate as a fiduciary. Question everything The complicated part of this business is that advisors can “wear both hats.” That is to say we can be “dual registered” advisors and be both registered reps and investment advisor representatives. In full disclosure, I operate a duallyregistered firm offering both commissioned and fee-based solutions for our clients. The important quality to have in any advisory relationship is transparency and the best way to obtain that is to ask questions. The more questions you ask, the better off you’re going to be. There is no such thing as asking too many questions in the beginning of a relationship, and any advisor that tells you differently is quite possibly hiding an answer or information that they don’t want to disclose. In that situation, your best bet is to sever ties and look elsewhere.

Simple facts about dehydration Commentary by Lisa Youngblood, MD

With more opportunities to be outside during the summer, dehydration is a concern for some people – especially wellness older adults, young children and those who exercise or work outdoors. Dehydration means the body doesn’t have the fluids necessary to keep its systems working properly. Fluids are important to nearly every bodily function, including maintaining the right body temperature and flushing waste. It’s easy to tell if you are getting enough fluids by looking at the color of your urine. Clear or light yellow urine indicates ample hydration. Dark yellow urine means you are not taking in adequate water and fluids. Preventing dehydration All liquids keep the body hydrated. The majority of your total water intake (approximately 80 percent) comes from water and other beverages you drink. The remaining 20 percent comes from food. To prevent dehydration, you should drink six to eight eight-ounce glasses of water or other fluids every day. You may need to drink more water when exercising, especially in hot weather, or if you have the flu or another health problem, such as a urinary tract infection. To help keep children hydrated, low-sugar popsicles are a good option. Be sure kids have plenty of wa-

ter and sports drinks when playing sports in warm weather. Pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding also should increase their water intake. Helpful ways to drink more water each day include: • Drinking a glass of water as soon as you wake up each morning. • Keeping a glass of water or a water bottle with you at work, in the car or when running errands. This encourages frequent sipping throughout the day. • Adding packets of sugarless flavoring to water for variety. You can also flavor water with lemon or lime wedges or cucumber slices. Drinking water is not the only way to stay hydrated. Many foods contain water. Some good alternate sources are low-sodium soup and broth, grapes, grapefruit, watermelon, and fruit juice. Surprisingly, meats, including hamburger and chicken breast, contain high concentrations of water. If dehydration is an ongoing issue for you, be sure to consult your primary care doctor.

Commentary by Steve Baunach Health emergencies can happen at any time of the year, but summertime creates some unique circumstances that, unfortuwellness nately, can result in visits to the emergency room. In the event that a health emergency does arise this summer, area hospitals are ready to help, no matter the hour. Most facilities, like St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, provide expedient and friendly injury care – up to and including those ailments emanating from participation in sports. And summer is about a lot of activities, sports among them. So this season, keep your health by: • Keeping an eye on your surroundings. Even something as seemingly innocent as running through a field can cause ankle and/or knee sprains if the runner unwittingly steps into a depression in the ground. • Drinking plenty of water. Young children, pregnant and lactating mothers, athletes and the elderly are most prone to dehydration during summer months. It seems simple enough, but we always remind: You must replenish want you expend. • Avoiding the peak hours of sun and heat if at all possible. On a given afternoon, with partly cloudy skies, the hours of 2 to 4 p.m. will deliver the highest temperatures. • Applying sunscreen liberally and often. No

THE SAFEST, FASTEST & MOST EFFECTIVE REMOVAL OF TATTOOS. The Pantheon of Paris (Photo by Don Knebel)

Hearts and minds in the Pantheon Commentary by Don Knebel

In 1744, King Louis XV promised Madame de Pompadour, his official mistress, a new church honoring St. Genevieve, the patron travel saint of Paris, if he survived his mysterious illness. He recovered and the resulting Pantheon, named for a pagan temple and honoring the best minds in France, reflects the vagaries of French religious politics. Louis put his mistress’s brother in charge of making good on his promised church. He laid the cornerstone for the building in 1764, the year Madame de Pompadour, famous for her hair style, died. The neoclassical design, in the shape of the Greek cross, drew inspiration from London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral. Because of a depleted treasury, the church remained unfinished when Louis XV died in 1774. His successor, grandson Louis XVI, loaned his bankrupt government 4 million francs to finish it. When the church was finally completed in 1790, it featured a massive triple dome, supported on 258 columns, extending 268 feet above the street. By that time, the French Revolution was in full swing, railing against the power of royalty and the Catholic Church. In 1791, the newly constituted National Constituent Assembly ordered

that the church be transformed into a mausoleum honoring French heroes. The building took its new name, meaning “all the gods,” from the domed Pantheon in Rome. In 1792, Louis XVI was beheaded for the claimed excesses of his reign. Twice since 1791, the Pantheon was converted to a church, each time reverting to a mausoleum as sentiments changed. Remains from 50 distinguished French intellectuals, including Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo and Madame Curie, are now enshrined in the Pantheon’s crypt. For six, only their hearts made it, manifesting the practice of removing organs before embalming. The remains of Descartes, whose transfer was authorized in 1792, have yet to arrive. The United States Capitol architect visited the Pantheon in 1838 and made liberal use of its design concepts in the rebuilt Capitol dome. In 1851, French physicist Leon Foucault demonstrated the earth’s rotation by suspending his famous pendulum from the center of the Pantheon’s dome.

Active and passive voices Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “I hear a lot about the active and passive voices, and how the active is preferable. I seem to remember disGramMar guy cussing them in school, but it’s been a while. Could you do a quick refresher course?” Answer: One of the first things they drill into you in journalism school is to USE ACTIVE VOICE. The second thing is always to triple check the spelling of a source’s name … but that’s another topic. Why is active voice stressed so early and so often? Well, as you may guess from its name, active voice is great for when you want to highlight the action early in a sentence. And with limited space on the page and limited attention spans from your readers, you need to make every word count. We’ll be using two words to talk about active and passive voice for the rest of the column: “agent” and “patient.” To keep things simple, the “agent” is the person or object performing an action, and the “patient” is the person or object being acted upon. Consider the following sentences: “Team USA scores a goal!” “Germany is scored on by Team USA!”

The first is active and the second is passive. Which conveys the action better? The first sentence does, because the subject and the agent are the same. In the second sentence, Team USA is still the agent, but it’s relegated to the end of the sentence while the patient, Germany, is moved to the subject. In active voice we want our subjects performing the action. Now, there are some good reasons to use the passive voice. For one, you’re not Ernest Hemingway. The passive voice is also used when you don’t know, or don’t want to mention, the agent. Consider this sentence: “Three suspicious fires were started overnight.” The fires didn’t start themselves, but we don’t know who did. Passive voice is also useful when the patient is more important than the agent. If someone asks you how your leg was broken, you might say, “I was hit by a car,” rather than, “A car hit me.” Either version is acceptable but, hey, forget that other guy – you’re the one with the broken leg.

Preparing for a kitchen or bathroom remodel Commentary by David Decker Many homeowners are as nervous as they are excited about beginning a new remodeling project. Inconvenience, messiness indoors and disruptions can sometimes be a very real part of a remodel; this is especially true of kitchen and bathroom projects. Because kitchens and bathrooms are so central to our everyday activities, it may seem daunting to think about living through a remodel. While you can try to make the experience as stress-free as possible, some difficulties are unavoidable simply due to the nature of construction. However, there are a few preparations and strategies you can implement to make the remodeling process go a little more smoothly for your family. Organization is key to living in the midst of a home remodeling project. First of all, you must clear everything from the countertops, cabinets, walls and other places where personal items may get in the way of construction. It’s a good idea to pack these items in clearly labeled boxes and store them in an easy to access place. That way, you’ll be able to find the things you need quickly. In the kitchen, food preparation is likely going to be the most difficult part of your kitchen remodel. First, choose a new area to house your refrigerator. You may not have access to your oven or stovetop. To compensate, you might

have to rely on microwaved, grilled or slowcooked meals for a while. Consider preparing and freezing dishes that you can eat later. Make small shopping trips so that you don’t have to worry about spoiled food. You may also want to stock up on plastic silverware, plates and cups to make cleanup easier. When it comes to the bathroom, you may want to negotiate a temporary utility sink or shower, if your primary bathroom is being renovated. Typically bathrooms become unusable after demo the very first day. If you have a closet off your master you will want to plan the access during construction or move your most used items to another area of the home. Oftentimes, homeowners will move into another bedroom and bathroom during construction. You will want to talk to your contractor to find out the details

behind construction plans so that you can make adjustments to your daily living schedule. If you ever have any questions about how to prepare for the work, you should contact someone as soon as possible, so there are no surprises along the way. Every company has a different process for prepping homeowners for construction. At the Affordable Companies, our project managers compile a daily schedule to keep you updated on the entire process, and are always available by phone or email to answer questions. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.

Fast and friendly emergency care. Why do some people choose St.Vincent Carmel over other ER’s? Maybe it’s because we not only have average wait times of less than 20 minutes, but we also offer some of the area’s friendliest and most compassionate care. Which explains why we’ve been named an Emergency Center of Excellence—the only one in central Indiana—multiple times. The next time you experience a health emergency, think fast. And choose St.Vincent Carmel for care that’s been repeatedly recognized as one of the best in the nation. For current Er wait times, text CArE to 41411.
