On Aug. 21, all of North America – as well as parts of South America, Europe and Africa – will, weather astronomy permitting, be able to view a partial eclipse of the sun. In Indiana, there will be a partial eclipse with 91 percent totality, beginning at approximately 2:25 p.m. and lasting approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes. A total eclipse will be viewable to the select 12.2 million Americans living within the path of totality, a 70-mile band stretching across 14 states from Oregon to South Carolina. The moon will pass between the earth and the sun on a west-to-east trajectory and completely eclipse the sun, first in Lincoln Beach, Ore. at 1:16 p.m. EST, and last in Charleston, S.C. at 2:48 p.m. EST. The longest period of totality will occur in Carbondale, Ill., for a full 2 minutes and 40 seconds, with the interval being shorter in other places. This is the first time in 100 years that a total eclipse spanned the continent. Why solar eclipses occur The moon moves in an orbit around the Earth, which itself orbits the sun. Even

This red line on this map from NASA shows spots across America that will experience the eclipse in complete totality. (Submitted image)

though the sun is many times bigger than the moon, due to the vast difference between where they are located, they appear to be approximately the same size when viewed from Earth. When the moon’s trajectory overlaps, the sun’s position in relation to a given point on Earth, we experience either a partial or total eclipse, a phenomenon that generally takes place over a three-hour period. Viewing the eclipse safely Eclipses are inspiring natural occurrences that can and should be admired. However, certain precautions need to be taken when viewing. In general, staring at the sun’s surface for too long can cause

damage to the eye, but during an eclipse, the surrounding darkness sways the natural tendency to divert one’s gaze, thereby allowing even more of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation to impact the retina. To view the eclipse safely, people need special eclipse glasses. Some libraries, science and astronomy clubs and historical societies are offering the glasses free. Alternatively, you can purchase them online, but be careful to only get products that comply with the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard for filters for direct viewing of the sun. It is not safe to view the eclipse with regular sunglasses. If using a telescope, make certain the appropriate filter is in place before pointing it at the sun. NASA live-streaming NASA will host an Eclipse Megacast, providing unique coverage of the astronomical event that will include commentary from scientists and the public, as well as live footage of the phenomenon. The Megacast will be broadcast on NASA TV, as well as a number of other TV stations, and can also be accessed online at nasa.gov/eclipselive. The next total solar eclipse viewable in North America won’t occur until 2024.

School board hears initiative By Noah Alatza • news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Washington School Board met Aug. 7. The next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 12. For more, visit wws.k12.in.us. What happened: Westfield High School officials presented a new academic rigor initiative. What it means: Westfield High School Principal Stacey McGuire and Assistant Principal Bill Naas showcased a new academic initiative geared for the needs of future students. “We are going to be talking about rigor and academics, a life-ready initiative,” McGuire said. “The framework of the academic leaf we have gone with simply shows that any student is capable of doing rigor. Kids are solving problems we do not even know exist yet, and we need to be ready.” Naas noted that ‘rigor’ does not imply a

harder standard, rather a more constructive life-based learning when it comes to AP courses. While praising teachers overall, Naas said there remains a heavy focus on prep. “Sometimes people think we’re only talking about the smart kids. This is for the prepared, not the elite,” Naas said. “Last year 80 percent (of WHS Students) had an AP experience. Sixty-four percent passed an AP course. Eighty-three percent of those (AP) tests passed.” WHS’s number of AP tests jumped dramatically from 187 in 2008 to 1,420 presently.

What happened: New business items were approved unanimously, ranging from a strategic plan to new lunch prices What it means: Approval of a strategic plan, beginning for the 2017-18 calendar year, was adopted by the school board. Approval of updated lunch prices for the 2017-18 school year, and permission to

advertise the 2018 budget, both carried unanimously. Shamrock Springs’ roof bids also were approved with an estimated cost between $200,000 and $225,000, with a completion date of Oct. 31.

Carey family has shown Belgians for 27 years

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For six generations, the Carey family has immersed itself in farm life. For the past 27 years, a large part of the Careys’ day revolves around Belcover story gian horses, commonly referred to as ‘gentle giants.’ “We bought a mare in ’90, and she was bred to a stallion and had a foal in ‘91, and that was the first foal we had,” Jim Carey said. “We kept breeding her, and we eventually built a herd up.” There are 13 Belgians at the farm. On average, four foals are born each year. The Jim farm has had as many as 24 horses at one time. Danielle Carey Tolan, the Westfield Washington Township trustee and Jim’s daughter, began showing Belgians at the Indiana State Fair when she was 9 years old. Her son Ezra Tolan, 12, helps show the Belgians at the fair. The Carey Belgians will be shown at this year’s state fair on Danielle Aug. 18 and 19. “The Belgian is a workhorse,” Jim said. “The Amish use them a lot to plow fields and make hay and do farm work. We don’t do them that way. We use them as a performance or halter class. We (perform) just like the dogs do at Westminster. We lead them down and lead them back, and the judges judge how the horse is built, the movement and the

conformation.” The Careys have shown a national grand champion stallion and a reserve grand champion mare. In 2014, the Carey family and the Belgians were part of an Indiana State Fair commercial. The six major shows the Careys hit each year are the Mississippi Valley Show; the Indiana State Fair; the Ohio State Fair; the Keystone International Livestock Exposition in Pennsylvania; the North American Livestock Expedition in Louisville; and the Great Lakes International Draft Horse Show in Michigan. The Carey’s show schedule spans August to November,

See the Carey Belgians at the Indiana State Fair The Carey family will show four Belgian horses Aug. 18 and 19 at the Indiana State Fair. The Belgian Draft Horse Show is Aug. 17-20. The Careys will show in the following events: • The Belgian Halter Classes: Begins at 8 a.m. Aug. 18 in the Indiana Farmers Coliseum, 1202 E 38th St., Indianapolis. The Carey family will participate throughout the show. • The Belgian Youth Showmanship: Begins at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 19 in the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. Ezra Tolan will show the Belgians. • The National Belgian Futurity: Begins at 11 a.m. Aug. 19 in the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. The Carey family will participate throughout the show.

but they start prepping horses by fitting them for shoes beginning in April. Although the Carey farm is in Sheridan, six generations of the Carey family have graduated from Westfield High School. Jim and his wife Lynn Carey were high school sweethearts and are 1966 WHS graduates. In addition to the awards they’ve won, the Careys learn character qualities through the horse showings. “It’s just like any sport,” Danielle said. “It’s a competition against other kids and other showman, and they have to be well-spoken and know about the horse because the judge asks. It’s a community when you’re out at shows. There are people that you create these great friendships (with) over time from all over the country.” Ezra works with the horses year-round. “It’s work ethic,” Jim said. “He’s learned responsibility to get up and feed the horses and clean stalls and bathe them.” The Carey family also owns Carey and Sons, Inc., a grain facility in Sheridan. In total, the family farms approximately 2,500 acres.

o b s e r v a tion Bad press Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The axiom asserts “that no press is bad press.” Said in more modern parlance, it would argue that no attention, favorable or unfavorable, that one may find can be detrimental. By extension, it might claim that the news, in itself, cannot cause harm unless the object of it mishandles the event. So, let’s imagine an application. One commits an epic failure – we poison our customers, lie to the camera or transgress some modern social trend. Do we fail at the moment of the firestorm, or do we fail only as the news cycle unwinds? Is it in our handling of the facts more than the facts? We consumers of modern information are eager to sit in judgment. The daily Twitter feed dispenses the “truth” in 144 characters. We commit to a point of view based in very limited and often fully imperfect information. Then, as more material is uncovered, or released, our positions ripen. Do we live in an age when the actual news of our transgressions is less important than how we manage to spin the follow-up story? The media has become a tool to be used, manipulated and relied upon to nudge our perceptions to one point of view or another. A recent study shows that the bulk of some voters have determined that contemporary American universities are causing harm. One Sunday morning news outlet decried the deplorable view that education is bad. The next news outlet asserted that although no one thinks education is bad, the current state of university leadership has failed. Both networks had identical data. How can they be so far-flung in their commentary? Are we being intentionally manipulated? If so, to what end? Will the mud ever settle in a spinning pool?

My husband Doo spent the weekend with his family while I stayed to prepare for the school week. When I called to humor check in, he told me about the debate he’d had with his siblings the night before: Should women stay at home with kids? Ironically, I was in the process of buying new clothes for work (at my favorite consignment store, of course. I’m a teacher!). “Please tell me you were on my side!” I said, feeling defensive even though the conversation was over. He had been, but he was the only one. Everyone else felt that women shouldn’t work while their kids were young. I was appalled, and not just because I’m reading “The Handmaid’s Tale.” How can we be in 2017 and still have such a traditional view of motherhood? I suppose given the political climate, it’s not surprising, but I thought we’d at least come far enough to recognize that what’s best for children is what’s best for the parents. Mom wants to stay at home? More power to her! Mom wants to go back to work? You go, girl! Dad decides he’s ready for domestic bliss? Woot! Woot! Nirvana for all! Personally, I was not cut out to keep toddlers alive and entertained for 10 to 12 hours a day. I couldn’t handle the monotony and loneliness of constantly discussing Barbie’s wardrobe options with a preschooler. Although financial considerations kept me home for many years (teacher, remember?), I couldn’t wait to return to the classroom. And when I finally did, I became a much better mother. Let’s try and support all moms, wherever they decide to be. Peace out.

READER ’ S V I E W 36 percent approval…For what? Editor, In response to Mari Briggs’ July 18 letter: I don’t recall those men (of the 1950s) groping women’s crotches, cheating on business dealings, telling constant lies, worrying daily if everyone approves of him, having nothing to do with his children until one of his several wives raises them to adulthood. I continue to be amazed how he can have a 36 percent approval rating. For what? He told everyone he knew more than the generals, then he gave the green light to the disastrous raid in Yemen, even though all his generals (and he has appointed several) said it would be a terrible idea. The raid resulted in the deaths of a U.S. Navy SEAL, an 8-year-old American girl and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained. He didn’t even bother overseeing that raid in Yemen.

Instead, he spent time hate-tweeting the New York Times and sleeping. What has he accomplished in the six months that he has been in office? He has signed 28 laws since taking office and made a “big” show out of each of them. Political scientists say it is better to measure significance than to simply add up the number of bills. Does the law change the status quo or introduce a new policy idea? It’s all a big hoax on the American people that might lose their health insurance, the middle class will pay more taxes, that none of the big promises that were made will ever come to fruition, because it seems it’s more important to this president to play golf every weekend and have a great relationship with (Russian) President Putin. It appears to me he is the joke of the world, and the only people that are benefiting from his presidency are the latenight comics. They are having a field day. Susan McNeal, Noblesville

A sad closure Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Open to the Public!

The Ropkey Armor Museum closed last week after more than 30 years. The founder, military historian humor Fred Ropkey, passed away four years ago. As a tribute, I am re-running my column from 2013. Fred Ropkey was no fan of war, yet he knew that every tank, aircraft and piece of artillery he recovered was a work of exquisite design — and represented the thousands of lives that had been lost or saved. His parents gave him a World War 1 sword and a Civil War pistol belonging to his great-grandfather. At age 16 he bought an armored World War II scout car and drove it to school. He stood up in the auditorium at Pike High School the day after Pearl Harbor and “reported” the Japanese attack to his fellow students. He would later serve during the Korean conflict as a battalion commander. Fred’s collection of arms grew over the years, and he stowed his acquisitions on the sprawling 100 acres of family land in Indianapolis. At the time, the idea was to simply find a place to restore those treasures — more a warehouse than a showcase. In

2005, Fred moved everything to Crawfordsville, signaling a new vision. “Who would think that a little pole barn on a 50-acre cornfield in Crawfordsville could change so many lives?” Fred wondered. It became the Ropkey Armor Museum. Fred and Lani fully realized the impact the collection had on people. “Are you familiar with that tank?” he once asked an older man as he examined the vehicle. “I practically lived in it,” said the World War II veteran, revealing he had not seen his “old girl” in 40 years. “Thank you,” he said to Fred. “My life has now come full circle.” Later, the veteran retreated to a hotel room with a bottle of bourbon and wrote an entire account of his experiences, those notes now part of the museum’s Wall of Heroes. At the end of his life, he chose not to share his plight with others, instead enduring his cancer pain privately. It was the one battle Fred Ropkey did not want to talk about.

Westfield resident opens Home Couture By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Westfield resident Marcia Utley said her prospects of opening her own business date to 2004, and new biz now those prospects are reality. Utley opened Home Couture last month at 14511 Clay Terrace Blvd., Suite 100, in Carmel’s Clay Terrace shopping mall. In 2004, Utley was a pharmaceutical sales representative but said she was missing something. “I worked in the medical industry for quite some time,” she said. “But I never really felt like I was helping as I should be.” After being diagnosed with cancer in 2009, Utley’s perspective on life changed, which led her to open Home Couture. “I stayed stuck in the security of the job I had at the time, because of health benefits, etc.,” she said. “After my diagnosis and several rounds of chemo, I thought to myself, ‘If I leave this Earth not feeling like I had accomplished what I wanted to do, I could not

live with myself.’ One of my main efforts in this store is giving back to the community.” Home Couture features work by several local artists, including woodworkers on the westside of Indianapolis and a local 16-year-old, self-taught painter who designs cards and wall artwork. The store offers pieces of home decor, almost all handmade. “Opening up a business is really scary,” Utley said. “But each piece is a unique and one-of-a-kind. People definitely don’t see this everywhere.” Utley said 10 percent of the profits will go to her church, Grace Community Church, while another 10 percent will go to charity. Utley encourages any local artist, service member or anyone who has a gift for arts and wants to sell their items to contact her at homecouture@outlook.com or to visit the store. “I personally try out every piece of furniture before it’s sold,” Utley said. “I have to know it will be functional for all of my customers.” An online web shop and site are still planned and should be completed by mid-month.

On Aug. 21, from approximately 11:50 a.m. to 3 p.m., the moon will pass in front of the sun, causing temporary twivision light in the middle of the day. A solar eclipse of that magnitude has not occurred since 1945. In Carmel and Westfield, approximately 91 percent of the sun will be covered. Therefore, in order to see this once-in-a-lifetime event – OK, maybe twice-in-a-lifetime event - safely and comfortably, you will need to prepare. The eye is essentially a high-powered magnifying glass, focusing light onto your retina. When you look at the sun, that powerful energy is focused perfectly onto your delicate retina. It does not take long to generate irreparable burns. Although your favorite sunglasses may block 100 percent of harmful UV light, they are still not rated to stare at the sun. “Eclipse glasses” look much like the paper 3-D glasses at the movies, and will only cost you around $2.20 per pair at Amazon.

com or Walmart. Beware of imposters; a truly safe pair of eclipse glasses will be “ISO 12312-2 Certified,” and will say so on the package. Regardless of what the label says, if it does not display this exact ISO certification, keep looking. It’s not worth the risk. If you want to see a total solar eclipse, where the sun is completely covered by the moon, head five hours south to Nashville, Tenn. Filtering glasses are still required there, but during the two minutes of “totality,” viewers can safely remove their filters. I am a big nerd when it comes to galaxies, stars and the incredible vastness of space. The eclipse next month is beyond exciting and you will not want to miss it, but please plan and don’t let a three-hour event damage your eyes forever.

CIAF party for 20 years editorial@youarecurrent.com

By Heather Collins • editorial@youarecurrent.com

he Labor Day event is the largest outdoor event of the year for Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace and its final event this year in Hamilton County. The marketplace was named Best Vintage Market and featured on Indy’s Must Do List by Indianapolis Monthly. More than 50 vendors will set up shop in the greenspace behind Mitchell’s and Kona Grill in Clay Terrace. The vibe of the marketplace is compared to a European street fair. Founder and Fishers resident Jon Jenkins is a 20-year veteran promoter of antique and vintage events. Jenkins said there is always a surprise waiting Jenkins at the marketplace, whether it’s a new vendor or an item that speaks to you. “I grew up as the child of antique-dealer parents, so that was in my blood from an early age,” Jenkins said. “As I’ve gotten older, it also became my profession, so a love of stuff comes along with it. I’ve also been lucky to travel a lot for business and have always been fascinated by the need to gather and buy and sell.” Jenkins said one of the things his father instilled in him was to be present. Jenkins said his father told him “in order to succeed, you have to be there.” Jenkins said he’s usually the first person at a show and the last to leave. Jenkins has put on more than 300 market events throughout Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, Tennessee and Connecticut. “It’s your chance to support local small businesses and to be rewarded with unique items for your home and lifestyle,” Jenkins said. Jenkins said the most interesting and expensive item that he has come across is a handmade advertising sign for a shop named Filca. The hand-painted, double-sided sign, depicting a hunter, his bird dog and a pheasant, sold for more than $10,000. Jenkins said the show is a collection of vintage goods, antiques, re- and up-cycled items, well-done artisanal goods or anything cool, local and unique. “I am really lucky. I enjoy what I do and on a perfect day there is nothing better than gathering people to buy, sell, discover something amazing and watch people enjoying themselves,” Jenkins said. Mank N Sass, an acoustic funk and blues duo from Illinois, will perform live music during the event.

Warm weather recipe Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Once again, we must prepare for another tailgate season. Here’s a recipe for one of the most popular items at a warm weather tailgate party, the deviled egg. Caviar Deviled Eggs Ingredients: Six extra large eggs, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish, 1 teaspoon French’s Classic Yellow Mustard, Pepper, Caviar red and/or black Preparation: Buy eggs a week or two before you make this recipe. Older eggs will work better. Take eggs out of the fridge and allow them to reach room temperature. Place the eggs into a pot and cover them with cold water to a depth of 1 1/2-inches above their tops. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to low for 1 minute. Then remove the pot from the heat, let the eggs remain in the water, with the

pot covered, for 14 minutes. Then remove the eggs and place them into a bowl of ice water. Peel the eggs and place them on a paper towel. Then cut the eggs in half and remove the yokes to a small mixing bowl. Place the egg white halves onto a dish and cool in the fridge. Mash the yokes with a fork to get small crumbles. Add the mayo and mustard and dill relish. Pipe the yolk mixture into the white halves and then top with caviar. Keep the deviled eggs in your refrigerator and then in your food cooler until time to serve them on game day. Joe Drozda is an author about sports and food.

Blueprint for Improvement: Whole house remodel at Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

Before

Background Info: This 1970s Geist-area home is set on a serene and wooded lot. The home itself, however, needed a major renovation to suit the owners’ needs and make it a better fit with its surroundings.

The goal was to redevelop the interior space and re-imagine the home’s style so the couple could enjoy it for many years to come! 1. One of the main modifications included removing the wall between the kitchen and front room. This created a central space for everyday life and gatherings. 2. Another significant change converted two small bedrooms and a bathroom into a main-level master suite with a walk-in closet and walk-in shower. 3. The new front porch created both a comfortable place to enjoy the wooded surroundings and also added visual interest to the front façade of the home. 4. Additional changes included relocating the laundry room to create a new half bath, new mudroom storage, updated stair railing and sunroom aesthetics, improved lighting plan and a new front entry door. For many additional details, visit our blog!

After

Before problems: Many areas of the home needed updated. The closed-off kitchen lacked storage and a sufficient dining space. There was no adequate master suite. The entry from the garage had a surplus of doors opening into the space and a lack of functional storage. The front façade desperately needed better curb appeal.

Exterior of Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria (Photo by Don Knebel)

Home of the Lipizzaners

Commentary by Don Knebel

Two words often used to describe Vienna, Austria, are “elegant” and “stately.” Those words also aptly detravel scribe the Spanish Riding School, in which Vienna’s famous Lipizzaner horses perform in a building literally fit for a king. In about 1562, Archduke Maximillian, a member of the Habsburg family who later became Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian II, set out to create the best fighting horses in the world for the empire’s cavalry. He started with horses from Spain that had descended from those used by the Berbers from North Africa in conquering most of the Iberian Peninsula beginning in 712 A.D. Maximillian crossbred the Spanish horses with those from northern Europe in the town of Lipizza, now in Slovenia. The resulting breed, combining elegance, strength and the ability to learn complex maneuvers, became known as Lipizzan, or Lipizzaner. In 1572, then-Emperor Maximillian established a school to train the Lipizzaner horses for battle, using methods originating in fifth century B.C. Greece. The name,

Spanish Riding School, recognized the horses’ origins. Initially, the horses were trained in a wooden arena in the Hofburg palace complex of the Habsburg’s adjacent Josefsplatz in central Vienna. In 1729, Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI commissioned a magnificent new hall near Vienna’ Michaelerplatz for the now famous school. Empress Maria Theresa used the baroquestyle white building, with two enormous crystal chandeliers and two tiers of seats, for public competitions and masked balls. Beethoven once conducted a concert in the hall using 1,000 musicians. In 1848, after the Austrian Revolution, Austria’s first representative assembly met in the Spanish Riding School building. During the days of the Habsburgs, only the royal family and its guests could observe the training and performances of the Lipizzaner horses, all stallions. Today, performances are open to the public.
