The Westfield City Council is expected to vote Sept. 12 on the resolution that states the loan would be repaid in full by the end of 2023. Council members had approved a resolution in 2014 that loaned $6 million of utility sale proceeds to the city for use within Grand Park, which is owned by the Westfield Redevelopment Commission.

GRAND PARK By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com City leaders in Westfield are considering a resolution that lays out the repayment terms of a $6 million loan made in 2014 for Grand Park.

The original agreement did not specify a repayment structure for that loan for the complex. Council members had previously proposed $500,000 annual loan payments, but the resolution before the council during its Aug. 22 meeting stipulated that $3 mil lion would be paid on or before Dec. 1, while the remainder would be paid on or before Dec. 1, However,2023. the council decided to move up the first installment to be paid by Jan. 1. That was done so the council wouldn’t have to make a special appropriation on Dec. 1, said City Councilman Mike Johns. Johns said the goal is to have the loan paid in full by the end of next year. The resolution is the latest step related to mat ters tied to Grand Park as the city looks to possibly sell the complex or enter into a public-private partnership to operate it.

The committee made up of five appoint ments by Mayor Andy Cook includes a Westfield City Council nominee and will be tasked with reviewing bids. The panel will make a recommendation to the Westfield Redevelopment Commission and Westfield City Council regarding Grand Park. Both entities will eventually vote on either a buyer or operator of Grand Park or choose not to sell the campus, which has a minimum price of $85 million, based on the average of two appraisals the city has received.IfWestfield were to sell Grand Park, city officials previously said they would use the proceeds to pay off park debt. The city still owes nearly $80 million for the complex.

Jeremy Lollar, who serves as the city’s chief of staff, told the Westfield Redevelop ment Commission during its Aug. 18 meeting that a recommendation isn’t expected any time“We’resoon.months away from any recommen dation to this body,” Lollar said.

The 400-acre complex, which serves as the training camp for the Indianapolis Colts, has 31 soccer fields, 26 baseball dia monds, two administration buildings, seven concession stands and a 378,000-squarefoot multi-use event center. Chris Proffitt, spokesman for the city, said earlier this month that the city had received seven bids for the complex, although bidders’ identities haven’t been made public. City officials are exploring the possibility of selling Grand Park or entering into a public-private partnership. (File photo)

Pregnant patient grateful for lifesaving ECMO treatment Misty Monson was 29 weeks pregnant when she was advised to go to the local emergency room because of her COVID-19 symptoms and diagnosis. Shortly after being admitted, Misty struggled to breathe. It was clear that she needed high-level care. Misty was sent to Ascension St. Vincent Level 1 Trauma Center in Indianapolis. She was then admitted to the intensive care unit. Shortly after being admitted, Dr. Tovah Buikema, director of maternal-fetal medicine at Ascension St. Vincent, worked with Dr. David A. Heimansohn, cardiothoracic surgeon, to get her started on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO. This machine replaces the function of the heart and lungs when they stop working properly. “Misty became the first maternal case of COVID-19 that required ECMO as part of her treatment regimen at Ascension St. Vincent,” added Dr. Buikema. “Caring for someone on ECMO is complex, and caring for a pregnant mom on ECMO is a whole new level of complexity.

“Parents of strong-willed children often question their ability to parent effectively,” said Rob Evans, juvenile probation officer with Hamilton County. “This program will help them identify the off-putting behaviors, empower them to take back their homes and improve their relationship with their child.

Senior Jack Jentz is determined to leave Carmel High School with a fourth state team title. The Greyhounds have won six consecutive IHSAA boys tennis state titles.“This year, more than any year prior, I feel a responsibility to try to keep the streak of team state championships,” he said. “I think our team this year is still super strong, but we lost some of our best seniors from last year, so it could be one of the toughest roads to a state title.”

CHS senior tennis player determined to continue state title streak

In the first week of this season, Jentz was 5-0, winning four matches at No. 2 sin gles and one at No. 1 singles. “I am very pleased with my play and hope to keep improving as I get more match ex perience,” he said. Jentz said Brunette will likely see how the team plays and adjust the lineup ac cordingly before the state tournament.

“I think in the last year a big focus of mine, and something I’ve seen improvement with, is my fitness level,” he said. That should help, as Jentz said if he does end up getting involved in long singles matches.Jentzsaid it has been a smooth adjust ment to the coaching change. Hanan had been the head coach for the previous four seasons.“I’veenjoyed getting to know the new coaching staff and trying to figure out the best way for our team to succeed,” Jentz said.Jentz said he had a successful summer season.“Some of my friends and I created a team and went to World Team Tennis in Orlando,” he said. “We got second, which was a pretty good result against 16 teams from across theDespitecountry.”his love for the sport and com petition, Jentz said he doesn’t think he will pursue playing in college at this point.

While waiting for a meeting at the Public Works Dept. in Grand Rapids, Mich., Larry Greene had some time on his hands.“Iwas waiting all day for a guy who didn’t want to see me, but my boss made me sit there all day until he saw me,’” said Greene, then a civil engineer and region al manager for ADS Environmental Services, which studied water and sewer systems. Greene picked up Remodeling Magazine, the industry magazine on home remodeling. “I read it cover to cover and thought, ‘What a great industry,’” Greene said. “My vision was to take the professional side of civil en gineering and bring it to home improvement. I wanted to get into something where I could control my own destiny and stay in Carmel. I realized I was fascinated by home and architecture.”Previously, Greene had contemplated be ing a home builder but figured remodeling was a better fit. So, he started Case Handy man Services in 2003. It eventually became Case Handyman and Remodeling and then Case Design/Remodeling, and this month it has been rebranded as Worthington Design & Remodeling, as the Carmel company is no longer a franchise affiliated with Case. Greene said Case started a large remod eling business that has been in business in Washington, D.C., since 1961. It started a franchise system in the late 1990s. After re searching, Greene said Case was best suited for his “Whenvision.wecame into the business in 2003, we were looking for a way to get that training and support and industry expertise to get our company off the ground,” he said. “That was the initial reason to join. (Case) decided after a number of years they wanted to get out of (franchising). Case Carmel was part of a smaller franchise system the last 10 years. Essentially, the franchise system dwindled to just a few of us. We benefited from it. Heading into our 20th year, it’s time to have our local name, and we don’t need the support as much as we used to.”

good distinctive sound to it, but it also was good to have that family tie.”

“I think that this year is the year where we continue to establish a name for ourselves and that the community is going to see a next step in the band program that has not been seen in Westfield prior to when we started winning,” Rust said. “I think it’s going to be really special for years to come.”

“We try to instill a sense of family with them, and we want to make sure that sup port system is there and that’s what makes the band successful because of the family we’ve created,” Rust said.

Pride of Westfield marching band to perform “The Dark Horse”

COVER STORY

The Pride of Westfield marching band was named the 2021 ISSMA Scholastic A state champion, and Rust said the band is looking to continue its success and hopes to establish itself as a group that deserves to win. Students kept busy during the sum mer during band camp, which allowed them to learn different aspects of the show, said Andrew Muth, band director. Each new season allows the group to start from scratch, according to Muth, who said that it allows the group to be taught necessary fundamental skills.

The Pride of Westfield marching band is heading into its upcoming season with plenty of visuals, momentum and excitement that is expected to resonate with audience members.The110-member band plans to perform “The Dark Horse” this season, which has a focus on underdogs winning, said Rebecca Rust, a senior drum major who is leading this year’s group. The title is also a song by pop artist Katy Per ry that many people should recognize as students perform, RustStudentssaid. have put in plenty of work refining and pre paring for their performance as they practiced during band camp over the summer. Rust, who is in her fourth year with the marching band, has plenty of responsibility on her shoulders in her leadership role this year.

“It’s really up to me to be able to coordinate both upper leadership and lower leadership, as well as being there for the students, because if they’re not at their best, then the band can’t be at their best,” Rust said. “So, it’s my job to make sure every thing’s right for them and right in their way.” Rust said preparation is key as marching band members are involved in a training camp, which ensures that everyone is in shape. Marching band members are consid ered athletes since there is a lot of move ment involved in performing, she added. Rust said she tries to help all march ing band members be their best, noting that having a support system is critical to the band’s success.

“We practice like we perform, and we perform like we Muth said “The Dark Horse” is based on the idea of being the underdog and that each individ ual has the potential to be a hero. He said he wants students to be leaders, not only inside the band program, but also off the field.

“We’re really proud that we have so many students who continuingprogramsleaderssaid.exceptionalareacademically,”Muth“They’reinotherandwe’retochallenge them with the idea of the show that everyone can be a hero, everyone who has ever (been) an underdog can rise up and be Brianna Clark, a junior with the marching band, also helps lead the group on the field in

“Our preparation has definitely come a long way, and we’ve been able to go from doing ba sic techniques and applying that throughout our show and we spend a lot of time doing marching fundamentals,” Clark said. Rust also looks forward to the year.

Muth said the expectation is that the group works as hard as it can to be the best version of the Pride of Westfield.Muthalso said this year’s 110-member group is an in crease from the prior season, which had 72 individuals who performed “A Million Different Faces.” This year, there are 50 students who have never marched before, but Muth said he is excited and looks forward to the year. Muth also said he wants students to approach each prac tice as an actual performance.

“Our expectation for our program is always that we’re going to be the best version of ourselves, and each group that we have is unique and different than the group be fore,” Muth said.

We are not our brother’s keeper. We are not responsible for the actions, or reactions, of others. At least, that’s been the accepted standard in most interpersonal communication. Sure, we come to understand very early in life that certain behaviors are prone to get certain responses. We complain to Mom of our hunger, and we might get a grilled-cheese sandwich. We take a toy from our older sibling, and we are likely to be greeted with a knuckle sandwich. So, we come to invest deeply in un derstanding the peccadillos of those around us. Thomas does not like to be called Tom. And talking football with Sue will invariably lead to an argument – she seems to like the debate more than the game. To get along and build social cohesion, we adjust to these unspoken variations. Most often, we learn that ad aptation is more efficient than absolute egalitarianism. Sure, we want to treat everybody the same, but it is so dang hard to do. OK, what is our affirmative require ment to accommodate others? Do we have to predict what might be their hidden hot button? Is it ever appropriate to believe that we get a pass because a perceived slight was unintended? Didn’t even occur to us? In living our lives outside of myriad potential landmines when interacting interpersonally, if we simply try to treat people the same and respectfully, do they have the right to criticize us as insensitive? Are we say ing that they don’t matter enough to cross our mind, or are we innocently ex pecting them to assert their own needs rather than trying to predict them? Maybe it depends on how close we are to the person. Should we be expected to know the barista as well as our chil dren? Should they demand it from us?

Before Mary Ellen’s current trip, we started the first episode of a series called “Severance,” but she left the room after 10 minutes, saying it was way too weird. She reminded me that this would give me something to occupy my time during her vacation.Theshow confused me from the start. It’s about a company involved in some illegal activity. They implant a programmable chip in employees’ heads so when they leave the office, they don’t recall what questionable stuff they did that day.

WISH-TV, but I’ve been told over the years by people who watched my segments that I looked like I was having fun. I was so happy to know I enjoyed my work. The first night she was away, I called Mary Ellen to ask her a question about the plot.“Can you turn on ‘Severance’ and help me figure this out?” I asked. “Dick, remember, you asked me stay at a cheap place to save money. I know this is hard to believe, but they don’t have Apple TV+ at Motel 6.” I asked her if I could hold the phone up to the TV so she could listen.“I’m going to rewind it to the part I don’t under stand,” I said. “You can help me decipher it.” “Geesh, Dick, watching ‘Severance’ was already weird enough. OK, I as sume from the promos that the woman is drilling into the dead guy’s head to extract the chip to see what memories he had of theMarycompany.”Ellenwas right, which annoyed me because she had never even watched a full episode. I was on show No. 6. The next day in church I approached the Penrys, our friends who initially had recom mended the show.

My wife said she wanted to visit girl friends in Michigan. I was opposed to this and was very firm. “Don’t you have friends here? Gas is expensive,” I said. “So are hotels.” She left Wheneveryesterday.shegoes out of town, I need instructions for the microwave and dish washer. Time passes slowly when she’s away. It’s been 4:27 p.m. in the great room for the past 22 hours (I don’t know how to wind the grandfather clock).Watching TV without Mary Ellen is difficult. First, I’m hard of hear ing. Second, even with captions, I lose track of the plot because my mind wanders, and third, I’m very impatient. I ask questions about the storyline before anyone is supposed to know.“Why did that woman jump off the bridge?” I’ll ask. “I don’t know, Dick. Nobody knows.

Molecular diagnostic firms are developing innovative blood tests that can detect many forms of cancer, some even at the earliest stages before cancerous cells mass together. In the past five years, genomic blood testing has become a $6 billion-a-year market, mostly driven by tests such as “liquid biopsies” that allow patients with potentially cancerous tumors to avoid expensive and invasive surgery to remove sample tissue. Over the next decade, the diagnos tics market is expected to soar to more than $50 bil lion annually as companies develop early-detection tests to screen asymptomatic patients for cancers.

• Guardant Health (GH) makes liquid biopsy kits that test for mutations in the tumors of advanced can cer patients to enable proper therapy selection.

Fling Bungee Fitness, at 14640 Herriman Blvd., opened in June and offers bungee and HIIT classes, in addition to yoga, strength training, rebounder and more, said Karrie Lacina, owner of Fling Bungee Fitness.

Lacina said the workout looked fun but challenging, noting that she jumped on the idea to bring it to Noblesville so she could share the bungee workout concept with the public. All fitness levels are welcome, and individuals must be at least 14 years old, while those under 18 must have a waiver signed by their parent or guardian.

HEALTH

• Exact Sciences (EXAS) had nearly $900 million in total revenues last year, mostly from two prod ucts — Cologuard, an alternative to colonosco pies that screens stool samples for colon cancer, and Oncotype Dx, a genomic test that can predict which women with early-stage breast cancer will not benefit from chemotherapy.

“I saw a Bungee video on Facebook and it inspired me,” she said.

The facility focuses on a fun way to engage in a workout that is choreographed and set to music, according to Lacina, who described Fling Bungee Fitness as a boutique fitness studio. Showers with complimentary toiletries, private lockers and premium equipment are available for patrons to use.

DISPATCH Stocks benefit from cancer test breakthroughs — Amid the race to develop coronavirus tests, vaccines and treatments, many investors might overlook another realm of impressive medical breakthroughs.

Lacina said she has been doing fitness since her early 20s.

Back-to-school season is upon us. With the chaos that preparing for another school year brings, it can be chal lenging to stay on top of your family’s health care. Often the eyes, which can create some of the most profound difficulties when it comes to your children’s success in school, are neglected. Children adapt to the way they are accus tomed to seeing the world, and by the time they complain about blur or headaches, their vision has likely been creating prob lems for months. A comprehensive eye exam assesses whether there is an underlying prescription that needs to be addressed and identifies ocular health issues that could pose a threat to eyesight. Tracking, depth perception, color vision and a whole host of other elements crucial to visual suc cess are also evaluated.

Natural appetite suppressant — Research shows that a spinach extract, called Appethyl, can significantly reduce cravings and snacking. A teaspoon per day was given to women in the study and they lost 43 percent more weight than women in the placebo group. Appethyl is available online as spinach extract in powder or capsule form.

Although school and pediatrician screen ings are wonderful ways to detect major eye problems, they do not take the place of a comprehensive eye exam at your optome trist’s office. The American Optometric Asso ciation recommends a child’s first eye exam at age 3, then again at age 5, and annually thereafter.Donotlet your child’s vision create ob stacles in and outside of the classroom. Schedule a comprehensive eye exam today to ensure that they are seeing well to kick off another school year.

Trepp said Straight No Chaser got lucky with its viral video in 2008 that launched its“Atlanticfame. Records gave us a shot to try this thing professionally and a lot of guys took risks and quit their day jobs to give it a go,” Trepp said. “Now, we’re here 14 years later, still performing and recording. We took that chance and tried to do the best we can with performing and record ing albums that our fans will like.”

Tyler Trepp specifically chose to at tend Indiana University to participate in Straight No Chaser. Trepp, who is from Ur bandale, Iowa, had always been interested in a cappella groups and heard of Straight No Chaser’s reputation. “I auditioned for the collegiate version of the group when I was still a senior in high school,” he said. “It’s crazy that I’m doing it for a living now.”

Trepp said there are two special mo ments in the concert for him. “The beginning when we step out and see the crowd,” Trepp said. “That to me as a performer is a feeling you can’t really describe. It’s something that hits you right in the heart. Then the final moment of the show we usually do an off-mic number where we stand in front of the stage and sing a song without microphones. It’s kind of a cool effect for people to hear that. We change that song from time to time.”

CONCERT

‘THE MUSIC OF PATSY CLINE’

Trepp said with such a large repertoire, it is easy to draw from different setlists. After graduating from IU in 2007, Trepp performed with the a cappella group, Oceans Four, on cruise ships for two years.“Music was a big part of my life growing up,” he said. “I would listen to The Blend ers, an a cappella group from the Midwest. I would listen to groups that have great harmonies like The Beach Boys. I fell in love with the vocal harmony.”

Trepp, a tenor, has been a member of the professional version of Straight No Chaser since 2009, shortly after it formed. “Everybody in the group was in the col legiate version at some point in their col lege career,” said Trepp, who lives in Tulsa, Okla. “There are five members from the original group that started in 1996. Then there are four of us who went to Indiana and were members of the collegiate group there.”Straight No Chaser will perform Sept. 16 at The Center Celebration 2022 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. The group is celebrating its 25th an niversaryStraightseason.NoChaser was supposed to appear in 2020 but The Center Celebration was canceled that year amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It was decided not to have the group appear in 2021 because the show was“Thisvirtual.isour last makeup show from 2020,” Trepp said. “Saving the best for last. We’ve definitely been looking forward to it. We love any show we can do in Indiana. Those are our people.” After the show, Straight No Chaser will be inducted into the Great American Song book Hall of Fame. “To get any award is an honor,” Trepp said. “This one is really special because of who else has been inducted into it. To be among some of those names is really special. We’re very humbled and very honored.”

Find your inspiration to create ART Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Regardless of occupation or role in life, we all hunger to be inspired, don’t we? And when that inspiration arrives, our performance suddenly excels. Whether it’s parenting, leading a nonprofit, being a CEO of a Fortune 500 company or on the line at a restaurant, inspiration is something we all seek. Some might call it motivation, being emotionally engaged or positive thinking. But it’s really all about inspiration. So, how are you inspired? Vacations are a leading poll winner, quickly followed by being in nature, faith-based moments and family.Steve Jobs was motivated to leave some thing behind that Sainte-VictoiremountainsrationfoundPaulmusicfilm,inspirationRojodancerDone!everything.changedBalletTamaraseeksintheater,andart.Cezanneinspiintheof in France and their changing landscapes through the seasons, which he painted in many interpretations. Dali was jazzed by a little village in Port Lligat, Spain, and Monet from the gardens of Giverny. You’ve seen the paintings! It seems that most artists/painters dis cover inspiration from nature, and I am no exception. Sunsets on any beach or a se cluded Arizona/Utah/New Mexico-mountain hike are particularly relevant. So is music. Loud music, my better half would say. A recent concert at Ravinia in Chicago taking in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on an especially beautiful night ignited several fresh paintings. The Palladium and gritty jazz clubs inspire me, too, as do family mo ments and faith. Need inspired? Try scheduling it. Randy Sorrell’s “Wild Days” is an original oil painting on a gallery-style canvas, in spired by the Sonoran Desert sunset photo. (Photo courte sy of Randy Sorrell)

On Jan. 30, 1882, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born to 54-year-old James and Sara Delano Roosevelt, his much younger second wife, in the upstairs master bedroom of the Springwood house. When FDR married Eleanor in 1905, the newlyweds moved into the Springwood house, owned by Sara since James’ death in 1900. In 1915, FDR, an amateur architect, convinced his strong-willed mother to un dertake a major expansion of the house to accommodate his and Eleanor’s growing family and his growing political ambitions. The remodeling added a third story to the center section, enlarged the entrance hall, added a north wing with eight servant rooms and recast the exterior in the Colo nial Revival style. During his years as pres ident, FDR visited Springwood more than 200 times, often for extended periods with his staff. After Franklin died in 1945, he was buried in Springwood’s rose garden and his family donated the estate to the United States, which opened the house to the pub lic in 1946. When Eleanor died in 1962, she was buried alongside her husband. Today, the Springwood house looks much as it did at the time of FDR’s death. The en trance hall includes a life-size sculpture of Franklin as a young man. Downstairs walls and cabinets are filled with items reflecting his varied interests, including birds and ships. Visitors can see where Franklin was born and the converted freight elevator he used after becoming paralyzed from the waist down in 1921. Entrance Hall in Springwood House.

My kids still don’t know that Santa can’t live at the North Pole. There’s no land underneath the ice sheets that melt and atthroughoutrefreezetheyeartheplacewhere elves allegedly make toys. However, there is land underneath the snow and ice at the South Pole. This isn’t meant to be a geography les son (although I found both of those facts interesting). Moreover, it’s an icebreaker meant to introduce the term “miranym.”

In our continuing road trip, we come to Hyde Park, N.Y., where we will visit three sites associated with Franklin Roosevelt and his wife (Anna) Eleanor. Today, we visit Spring wood, the Roosevelts’ home. In 1866, James Roosevelt, a wealthy businessman, purchased a 640-acre estate, including a 17-room Italianate-style house and cropland, overlooking the Hudson River in Hyde Park. Roosevelt named the estate “Springwood.”

A miranym is a word that lies in between two polar opposite words. It’s not “hot” or “cold” — it’s “lukewarm.”

Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer. Connect with him on Twitter (@curtishoneycutt) or at curtishoneycutt.com.

Visiting SpringwoodFDR’sEstate

Of course, nobody wants to be “luke warm,” so let’s examine a few more ex amples of miranyms. Think about “open” and “closed.” Some would say a door is either open or closed — there is no middle ground. However, when a door is ajar, it’s a little bit of both. In our old house, none of the doors fully close, but that’s a topic for my other newspaper column, “Grumble Guy.” Now, consider the opposites “all” and “none.” It’s not all or nothing if it’s “some.” In the same way, you don’t have to be “early” or “late” to something; you can simply be “on time.” Is there something in between “coming” and “going”? Yes — you can “stay.” Now shake. That’s a good boy. I think we’re quick to assign polar opposite words to many things these days. Their side is bad, while ours is good. Your opinions are either totally right or completely wrong. You’re an idiot! She’s a genius! It doesn’t take more than a brief glance at our Facebook or Twitter feeds to see people flocking to the opposite ends of the earth: I only shop at Target! People who shop at Walmart are the worst! Needless to say, social media ar guments generally focus on polarized politics.
