Old Town Companies CEO Justin Moffett gives a presentation detailing the Union Square proposal for downtown Westfield. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
Public hears more on Union Square By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Residents heard a detailed presentation Aug. 21 from Old Town Design Group CEO Justin Moffett about the proposed DEVELOPMENT Union Square mixed-use development south of Ind. 32 and north of Jersey Street. Moffett also fielded questions from the crowd. “The goal tonight is to share high-level detail about a proposed project at the corner down here at 32 and Union,” Moffett said. “We want to share our ideas, get feedback and take questions. We are walking into this knowing it’s the beginning of a process, and we are imagining it to be a collaborative process with the community.” Moffett gave a brief introduction about other projects Old Town Design Group has been involved with, including Midtown in Carmel, which includes office and retail space, and the Sun King Brewery food hall. The ordinance for Union Square includes uses for office, retail and multi-family, such as condominiums and apartments. One of the concept plans is to incorporate architectural standards to create a village-like feel. “When we looked at moving forward with the possibility of a redevelopment project in downtown Westfield, our desire was to do something adjacent or very near the (Grand Junction Park and Plaza),” Moffett said. “We asked the question of some leaders at the city level, ‘Why isn’t somebody pursuing the block immediately north of Grand Junction Plaza?’” City officials informed Old Town Design Group the area’s biggest challenge is the seven or more property owners throughout the entire parcel who all have different needs. “The response we felt like we heard was, ‘Go for it, let’s see what happens,’” Moffett said. After approximately a year of working with
property owners, Old Town Design Group now has the rights to purchase the properties it needs. Moffett asked those in attendance for feedback after his presentation. “We really are passionate about the idea of creation as a partnership with the community,” Moffett said. “We don’t presume to think we have the best ideas. They’re our ideas and based on experience, but we also like to listen and have a collaborative conversation with stakeholders.” Concerns included preserving Westfield’s history and historic buildings on the south side of Union Street. Resident Linda Naas said children cherished Westfield Pharmacy at the corner of Ind. 32 and Union Street and would sit at the counter after school and eat candy. “Are you planning to just destroy that building, move that building, adapt that building? Will there be anything left that we will recognize in this area as it is today?” Naas said. “In the context you said it, no,” Moffett said. “(Westfield Pharmacy) would crumble if we tried to pick it up and move it. If they would like to reinvent within the development plan, we are all for it and we can find a place within the development for them to rebuild. Our understanding is as the (Ind.) 32 (expansion) plan gets built as it’s going to be, the pharmacy gets taken out, anyway.” Moffett also spoke on the possibility of building a parking garage with the development. “We know we have the responsibility to park our own project, but we don’t believe it’s our responsibility in this development to park the rest of downtown,” Moffett said. One possibility is to build a parking garage adjacent to the development, possibly to the west between U.S. 31 and the Union Square development, Moffett said. Moffett said he wants construction to begin by the end of 2020.

ICPYAS provides evidence-based programming to educate youth and adults and empower them to recognize, react and find appropriate resources for help. The gala helps fund programs for adults and children. “We go into schools and teach body safety, because there’s such a high correlation between children who have been abused or neglected and their rate of suicide,” said Melissa Peregrin, ICPYAS executive director. “We teach kids how to advocate for themselves to keep themselves safe. We also teach adults how to protect children.” The evening includes dinner, cocktails, music, dancing and advocacy.

Jags’ team has county flavor By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Emma Chambers is convinced the IUPUI women’s soccer team’s quartet of seniors provides a unique chemistry. SOCCER “We all have different perspectives and styles of leadership,” the former Carmel High School player said. “We all play different positions. We’re all pretty close and respect each other’s opinions. I think that will be good for the team. We have some freshmen that are going to step up, and I think it’s good we can lead them because I know it can be intimidating.” Joining Chambers are fellow seniors Jenna Sterr, Westfield High School; Bri Denny, Noblesville High School; and Sophia Lipka, Cathedral High School. Chambers plays midfield, Denny and Sterr are defenders and Lipka is the goalkeeper. “They’ve grown into four very solid, very dependable young ladies,” IUPUI coach Chris Johnson said. “They get it done in the classroom really well, too, and step up when we have volunteer service opportunities. All four players lead by example. Jenna is not the most vocal player but lets her play do the talking. Emma, Bri and Sophia are all more vocal types. Sophia and Bri are a little more demanding personalities. Emma wants to do the right thing and hold people accountable around her.” Sterr said he she knew all the girls before arriving on campus. “I played with Emma and Bri (in club soccer), and I’ve known Sophia through the soccer world,” Sterr said. “It was cool for us to come together and bring different aspects. I think we all do a good job of leading by example and stepping up to roles that we need to fulfill.” Chambers said she and Sterr played on a Carmel United club team together when

they were younger. Carmel United later merged with the Westfield Youth Soccer Club to form Indiana Fire. Hampered by minor injuries, Sterr played in 15 games, starting five, as a freshman. Sterr became a starter as a defender as a sophomore. Sterr said the defenders all work well together. “Our main goal in the back line is handsdown to not get scored on,” Sterr said. Originally, seven freshmen were in their class, but only four remain. “We’ve all grown together. It’s cool we’ve made it this far,” Sterr said. Chambers said it helps all four are from the Indianapolis area. “It gives you a hometown pride thing,” she said. “All our parents are there to support us.” Chambers played in all 23 games as a sophomore and started all 19 games as a junior. She played just nine games as a freshman. IUPUI won the Horizon League championship in 2017 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

On Aug. 25, Hamilton County Tourism unveiled the 10-foot “White River Monster” sculpture, the subject of local lore. According to county historian David Heighway, in 1892, two men drove a wagon down Cicero Pike and claimed to have spotted a large animal in the river described as “a huge serpent 12 feet in length and perhaps 3 feet in circumference with a forked tail.” Later that month, four men found a carcass of a dead cow caught on branches in the river, which they figured to be the White River Monster. The monster sculpture is titled “William Herman Hamilton.” Also known as “Willie,” the sculpture will travel around the county this fall. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

Jake Laird Community Day set By Renee Larr news@currentinwestfield.com Indianapolis Police Dept. officer Timothy Jake Laird was killed in the line of duty Aug. 18, 2004. To honor his memory, EVENT his parents established the Jake Laird Memorial Fund, which provides money for local law enforcement agencies in need of new equipment, innovating new programs and assists with officer hardships. The Westfield Police Dept. will pay tribute to Laird and promote the spirit of community by providing an evening of food and fun for the residents of Westfield. The annual event is from 5 to 8 p.m. Sept. 10 at Quaker Park, 17501 Dartown Rd. “This is a family friendly, community event for people to come out, meet our police officers and, of course, celebrate Jake’s memory,” WPD Chief Joel Rush said. The evening includes free hot dogs and popcorn, live music and activities, including bounce houses, face painting, a balloon artist and a K-9 demonstration. “The dogs are narcotic detection dogs, so they will put on demos showing how they do their jobs,” Rush said.

The entire family can participate in the fun. “The kids will have their own games and activities,” Rush said. “It’s a really fun day for everyone that attends.” Officers will display the department’s vehicles, equipment and programs. “We will showcase everything that we offer the community,” Rush said. Jake Laird Community Day is sponsored by Laird’s parents, Mike and Debbie Laird. “They’re Hamilton County residents,” Rush said. “They established the fund after his death and they use the memorial fund to fund the day.” Music will be performed by Dave Miller and Sam Rowe. Admission is free.

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Stuckey Farm and Cider Mill has been a staple in the community for five decades. Although the orchard has evolved during the years, much of its original COVER STORY charm remains as it celebrates its 50th year of operation. Joe Druckemiller said Stuckey Farm, 19975 Hamilton Boone Rd., wants to lengthen its operational season. “Everyone thinks of us as a fall venue, and that’s true, but we are slowly stretching that,” said Druckemiller, who joined the Stuckey Farm team a few months ago to enhance creative business development. “I’m coming up with all these ideas, so a lot of it depends on our staffing capacity to pull it off.” Some of Druckemiller’s ideas include offering specialty ciders and a cider bar in the fall and farm-to-table dinners, among other possibilities. Stuckey Farm’s signature cider is made from a blend of apples. Druckemiller came up with the idea for last year’s inaugural sunflower festival. The farm now includes sunflower fields on 5 to 7 acres at the back of the property. The fields contain 17 varieties of sunflowers. Some are 15 feet high. The festival began last month and will continue until Sept. 8 or until the plants stop blooming. “Last year was the first (festival),” Druckemiller said. “Apples are picking by that time, and people can come pick

apples and come to the festival weekend.” To commemorate 50 years of operation, the orchard is offereing two days of price rollbacks Sept. 14-15. The business was started in 1969 by husband-and-wife team Gene and Rosalyn Stuckey. Gene died last year. Rosalyn is still alive. The orchard was sold to Jeff Pierce, a Zionsville resident, in 2005, but the original owners ran it from its inception in 1969 until it was sold. Some of the original apple trees are still on the property. “We certainly wanted to keep the tradition of the youpick aspect of the orchard,” Pierce said. “People still come out and pick apples, but maybe what has changed is people want to be entertained a little bit more than just applepicking, so we have introduced some aspects of agritourism to augment that entertainment aspect.” Some of those entertainment opportunities include Adventure Acres, a corn maze, apple cannons, hosting corporate events and the opening of a snack bar. “Those are the main things as far as the differences in trying to expand the entertainment side of the business as opposed to just apple-picking,” Pierce said. “Traditionally, you think of a farm and an orchard and a you-pick orchard as a family that just goes and picks. We are going to enhance that and to do whatever possible to make it a better experience. “A lot of it is, ‘What can we provide people to help them have a more enjoyable time?’” Plans include plan-ahead picnics and upscale, private dinners.

ESSAY
LETTER Make a difference
Nuanced ‘truth’ Commentary by Terry Anker Checkout lines at the grocery store are the same the world over. Rows of candy, eye-height for a 9-year-old, mark the corridor to the cash register. They share the space with numerous tabloids whose headlines grab the attention of even the most harried and distracted passerby. As children, we come to know that just the right bit of nudging could get mom to buy us the Snickers while she is emptying our overflowing cart onto the conveyor belt. As we first master letters and then reading, the colorful headlines capture our imagination. We promise to forego the candy if mom will throw one of the magazines into the cart with the Hamburger Helper and mac and cheese. Soon in the car, we open the pages, eager to learn about the secret government plot to put growth hormones into our milk and make us giants equipped to fight the Russian menace. Alas, like many disappointments of our youth, we quickly learn that the headlines often don’t match the content. The “stunning” discoveries are not discoveries at all. Instead, they are carefully worded deceptions intended to tell a lie without really telling one. Has it changed much through the decades? Media still uses the ploy to get us to look. Seemingly every restaurant and public space is festooned with countless video monitors tirelessly looped with CNN or other outlets. The screen crawls with horrific headlines, unabashedly misleading and provocative. What a front page calls fact, the full article ultimately surrenders to be more nuanced. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.
My cup runneth empty — cheers! Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m luxuriating in a silent, clean, mostly empty house right now and am thrilled to report that barring any unforeseen circumstances, this is pretty much HUMOR what my domestic life will look like for the next four months. Blessed be the fruit! In this case, the delicious fruit is college. That’s right, friends, three of our four heirs have left the building, hopefully not returning until the holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I love them. But teenagers and 20-year-olds are messy, loud, expensive, meat-eating machines who are only nice to their moms when they want food or money. They bake cookies at midnight, totally unconcerned with the noise they are making while a certain mother attempts to sleep above them. They invite their posses over for all-you-caneat buffets featuring the Wilson pantry and refrigerator/freezer. And they hoard clothes and tchotchkes like nobody’s business.
Our youngest is still around, but she is so busy with school and dance and socializing that we rarely see her. Praise be, my husband, Doo, and I are basically empty nesters. I come home after work to a sink that holds no dishes. I go to bed enjoying an Xbox-free silence. I shop at Meijer maybe once a week. Talk about your miracles! I can even bingewatch “The Handmaid’s Tale” in the actual living room, on the TV. People told me I’d feel sad and lonely without the general bustle of kids underfoot, that I’d miss the energy that comes from a big family coexisting under one roof. They were liars. I love it, almost as much as I love my children. In college. Under someone else’s eye. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.”
— Bruce Lee
Editor, I am writing this letter to bring up a very important issue that impacts every one of us. Do you know what new development is being planned near you this very moment? You might be surprised to learn that there are dozens of rezoning petitions and planned unit developments being proposed every other week to our Advisory Plan Commission. Some of them will benefit the community, but others have the potential to tear away at the very fabric of our unique town. I’ve had folks tell me that there is nothing that can be done to slow commercial spread and growth, but I don’t believe that. Our council members do listen to the community, and we can impact future growth. If you don’t want to turn into just another booming town with traffic snarls, overcrowded schools and commercial put into every available piece of land, please get involved! Read the city’s community updates, look for social media updates and take a moment to read the APC agenda and meeting minutes. It is important to remind our elected officials that this town matters to us and we need a balance between growth, convenience and quality of life. It doesn’t take a lot to get involved. A quick email to the city can go a long way. You can make a difference. Jill Comstock, Westfield

Laces knot for me Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’ve been doing it wrong for about 65 years, making the same mistake more than 24,000 times. You’ve probably HUMOR been doing it wrong, too. A TED Talk by Terry Moore demonstrates the correct way to tie your shoes. He proves that the worldwide epidemic of laces becoming untied can be solved by a simple adjustment to how we loop our knots. It took me a few tries to do it correctly, but he’s right on the money. By the way, a frozen mummy from 3300 B.C. was found wearing the first recorded shoelaces. They were untied. He tripped and fell off a glacier. People are always saying, “Dick, do you know your shoe is untied?” I usually do. But after I turned 70, I decided I wasn’t reaching all the way down there unless both shoes required my attention. I came across this TED Talk after Googling “shoelaces,” hoping to find some replacements for a pair of casual shoes I owned. Instead of the traditional kind, these shoes came with Lock Laces, which are loops of elastic woven through the eyelets that never need to be tied. Just pull the shoe on
What’s the Difference?
and it tightens automatically. These new thingamajigs drove me crazy. I cut them off the shoes, planning to replace them with traditional laces. Since most stores don’t carry a good selection, I logged onto Amazon Prime and found a dizzying assortment of colors and styles. Amazon allows previous buyers to write reviews about their purchases. I could see taking the time to give your opinion if you bought a TV, but shoelaces? There were hundreds of comments by people who must have nothing better to do than sit around looking at their feet. These are actual postings: “The shoelaces are thicker than I thought they’d be. What a waste of $2.” “The laces were 36 inches, not 34. What should I do?” While shopping online, I bought some new dress shoes. To avoid the lacing hassle, I opted for slip-ons. Am I lazy? Yes, I’m a loafer.

Natural pain remedy — If over-the-counter pain relievers cause you stomach distress, or you just want to try a natural remedy, try white willow bark. It’s a pain reliever that has anti-inflammatory benefits similar to those of aspirin, but unlike aspirin, it doesn’t appear to damage the stomach lining. It can be used as a remedy for relieving the pain of headaches, menstrual cramps, low back pain, osteoarthritis and more.

Spenga coming to Clay Terrace
Handling Hand & Arm Pain
By Riya Chinni news@currentinwestfield.com A Spenga fitness center has announced plans to open in Clay Terrace this fall. The company derives its FITNESS names from three core focus areas. “(There are) three disciplines: spin, strength and yoga, so it has the three most important aspects of physical activity, which is heart rate-racing cardio, a strength portion with a workout, followed by poses in yoga and gaining some flexibility with yoga as well. It’s one of a kind,” franchise owner Ryan Hendrickson said. Hendrickson and his wife, Staci, along with business partners Cherie and Tim Palma, decided to open a Spenga franchise after finding Spenga’s philosophy and structure aligned with their ideal fitness center. It is expected to open by the end of November. “We’ve been members of other fitness franchises that are similar, but we noticed a need for a workout that provides less pounding on the body, meaning no treadmill running or heavy jumping,” Hendrickson said. “We included what we believe is the important aspect of yoga and flexibility in

your workout, so that’s why we were really drawn to the Spenga concept.” Spenga strives to create an aesthetically pleasing workout environment, Hendrickson said. “When you walk into Spenga, you’re going to notice a difference from all the other gyms you walk into,” he said. “We spent a tremendous amount of time and money planning and designing the studio. When you walk in, it’s a very high-end, almost spa-like feel.” He also said Spenga plans to fundraise for local charities and find ways to give back to the community. “It’s really about creating a culture where people feel welcome and part of the family,” Hendrickson said.
DISPATCHES Tiny stocks that deliver big — If you’re willing to take considerable risk in the stock market, you can find big winners among tiny publicly traded companies, so-called microcaps. That is the one area where small investors have an advantage over large institutional investors and mutual funds, which typically consider the stocks too small to research, monitor or invest in. Microcaps have market capitalizations ranging from $50 million to $300 million. You should focus on those that have fast revenue growth (20 percent annually or more), are currently profitable or will be in the near futur, and, most important, offer a unique product or service in fast-changing industries such as medical equipment or software. Attractive microcap stocks now are: • Airgain (AIRG) makes embedded antennas for more than 45 million household products, including digital smart TVs, Wi-Fi routers and a utomobiles. • Sensus Healthcare (SRTS) is a medicaldevice manufacturer specializing in radiotherapy systems to remove basal cell skin cancer, which occurs in more than four million people annually in the US. It also makes laser equipment for skin rejuvenation and hair and tattoo removal.
• USA Technologies (USAT) provides software for the new generation of millions of self-serve cashless vending machines that use wireless technology in unattended locations such as car washes, laundromats and arcades. The software not only enables electronic payments but also transmits ongoing data feedback on machine malfunctions, usage patterns and more to the vending machine companies.

ATI newcomers eager for roles in ATI musical By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tony Carter fell in love with “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” instantly. “I was actually in high COMEDY school and saw the show on Broadway,” Carter said. “Brian d’Arcy James was playing the role of Freddy Benson. I love the music and I grew up with the movie with Steve Martin. It’s a fantastically challenging role. I was playing a con artist who plays a lot of different characters. “It’s an incredibly funny role and I’m excited to bring my own personal flavor to it.” Carter, a Chicago resident who is originally from Las Vegas, plays grifter Benson in Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” Sept. 6 to 29 at the Studio Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel Carter said he attended ATI auditions in Chicago and came down for call-backs to audition for all the shows in the 2019-20 season, which kicks off with “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.” “This was my favorite and I was really gunning for it,” he said. “The songs are funny. There is a lot of quick-witted dialogue.” Carter is acting in the Indianapolis area for the first time. Like Carter, Deborah Hill is making her ATI debut. Hill, who grew up in Lafayette and attended Anderson University, lives in Dayton, Ohio. She will play Christine Colgate. “I was looking for theaters in the area where I could work,” she said. “I researched the show and role. It’s a great role for any actress.” Hill said she enjoys comedic roles but doesn’t get to do them a lot. “I usually do the serious, more ingenue roles,” Hill said. “She seems like a onedimensional character, but it takes a plot twist and I really get to delve into her. The songs are amazing. It’s a great vocal challenge for me.” TJ Lancaster, from Kansas City, has not seen or heard the musical version of the show, which was a 1988 movie with Michael Caine and Steve Martin.
Bourbon trail launches editorial@youarecurrent.com September is National Bourbon Heritage Month. So Greg Kissinger, a Fishers resident who works for Republic National Distributing Co., figured a Carmel Bourbon Trail would be a good fit. “It’s a cool, conceptional thing,” Kissinger said. There are 22 restaurants and bars, ranging from Anthony’s Chophouse to Old Town Tavern, taking part in the trail. Visitors can ask if there is a Bourbon Trail special at participating spots. Brands featured are Jim Beam Black, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden’s, Maker’s Mark, Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare. Other participants include 3 UP (above Anthony’s Chophouse), Charleston’s, The Pint Room, Convivo, Prime 47, Bar Louie, Divvy, Prodigy Burger & Bar, Brockway Public House, Donatello’s, Renaissance Hotel, The Broken Barrel, Fork & Ale House, Sahm’s Ale House, Bru Burger Bar, Matt The Miller’s Tavern, Texas Roadhouse, Burgerhaus, Nippers Grill & Tap and Woody’s Library Restaurant.

“It was a great surprise to get a chance to work on it,” said Lancaster, who is performing as suave con man Lawrence Jamieson. “I loved the movie back in the day. I love the ‘Odd Couple’ quality of highclass con man and a street con man. It’s laugh after laugh. It’s high-class comedy and goofy, vulgar comedy together. That’s what makes it so great.” Lancaster was previously in “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” at ATI in 2018. Michael Blatt, who attended North Central High School with ATI co-founder Judy Fitzgerald, is returning to direct with ATI. Blatt, based in New York, directed “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” in 2018. “I loved it. The show was great. It was so good to be back in Indianapolis,” Blatt said of the 2018 show. “My roots are here. I did Jr. Civic and Footlite Musicals. It was a full-circle moment to come back and work professionally here.” Blatt has never been with a production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” but has plenty
of exposure to it. “I was lucky enough when I was in New York, my best friend and roommate was the assistant choreographer of the Broadway show, so I got to see it a lot,” Blatt said. “I got to know all the cast members. I got to know about the process. I’m also a personal trainer and I got to train the book writer for the show because he was one of my clients. It was interesting to be on the edges of the production.” The cast was originally designed for 30. “We’re doing a streamlined version of the show, but still (presenting) the whole show with a cast of 10,” Blatt said. “There are five ensemble members who rotate to play different roles. This is one of the first times they’ve done a streamline before, so we’re going to make our own version of ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.’” Carol Worcel is the choreographer. Fitzgerald and fellow ATI co-founder Don Farrell are part of the cast. For more, visit atistage.org.

Kids can enjoy high energy, family friendly rock ‘n’ roll when Kid Kazooey & the BallRoom Roustabouts hit the MUSIC stage Sept. 14 at the Center for the Performing Arts as part of the Peanut Butter & Jam series. It’s the second time the Bloomington-based group will perform at the center. “The BallRoom Roustabouts play rock ‘n’ roll/pop music not unlike They Might Be Giants or NRBQ or the Violent Femmes, but at low volumes and with thematic material that matches our mission statement and is always all-ages appropriate,” said Kevin MacDowell, aka Kid Kazooey. “We play mostly original music, with a few choice cover tunes thrown in. Like the golden years of Sesame Street, we play first for children’s enjoyment and then aim strategically just over their heads to let their parents know we haven’t forgotten about them.” The BallRoom Roustabouts formed when MacDowell, who had recently graduated from Indiana University and was waiting tables at restaurants in Bloomington while trying to get a foot in the door as a librarian, met a “creative and talented” musician who cooked at one of the restaurants. They had a vision to create a dance band and

Marty skydives for Civic Theatre By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brent Marty decided to tackle his fear of heights for a good cause. Marty, Booth TarkingFUNDRAISER ton Civic Theatre’s director of music and education, agreed to skydive if a bid of $1,000 could be reached. Jr. Civic parent and Civic Guild member Angela Wagner had bought the skydive gift certificate and offered a starting bid of $1,000 at a fundraiser to see Marty do the jump. “We initially raised $2,000 at our fundraiser in June, and our Facebook initiative related to the jump itself is getting close to $1,000,” Marty said. “We hope to exceed that. The video is getting a lot of attention from my friends and family who can’t believe I did it.” The Carmel resident jumped out of the plane Aug. 24 at 13,000 feet on a tandem dive with a Skydive Indy instructor. “The experienced instructors and staff at Skydive Indianapolis (based in Frankfort) were top-notch and made everything smooth and easy to understand,” Marty

said. “The experience itself was, for me, exhilarating. It did help to be doing a tandem dive with an instructor strapped on my back and in control. I’m not sure I would have taken that last step out of the plane on my own.” Marty said he is fine inside tall buildings and isn’t afraid of being on airplanes. “But if I’m outdoors, like on a roof of a skyscraper or the edge of a canyon, etc., I get very weak in the knees,” he said. Marty doesn’t foresee doing it again in the near future but would consider another dive for a good cause.

Commentary by Don Knebel Many people are aware that the “Lord of the Rings” series was filmed in New Zealand. Fewer TRAVEL know that one of its locations has become a popular tourist attraction. In 1998, director Peter Jackson, a New Zealand resident, engaged a helicopter crew to find a site with topography matching his vision of Hobbiton, a village in the mythical Shire of J.R.R. Tolkien’s books. He selected a 1,200-acre sheep and cattle farm, with rolling grassy hills and a small lake, in the Waikato region in the upper North Island, about 100 miles south of Auckland. Workers transformed 14 acres of the farm into Hobbiton, building the exteriors of about 40 Hobbit homes of various sizes and colors from plywood and polystyrene and planting gardens and hedges. Workers constructed a huge artificial tree atop one of the hills and created the façade of the doublearched bridge and mill near the lake. When filming ended in early 2000, about half of the Hobbit home exteriors remained and visitors started coming to the farm to get a look at Hobbiton. In 2002, the family owning the farm began offering guided tours of the area. Jackson and his team returned to the site in 2009 to film “The Hobbit” trilogy. This time, crews constructed the exteriors of 44 Hobbit homes from

more permanent materials and added details that would withstand closer inspection. Because the interior scenes of the Hobbit homes were filmed in a studio, the interiors of the homes are not finished. In 2012, a replica of the Green Dragon Inn, serving refreshments, was added at the end of the 2-hour tour route. For Tolkien fans, a visit to the Hobbiton Movie Set is a
necessity on a trip to New Zealand. For everyone else, it is a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville. com.
Legal Notice of Public Hearing The City of Westfield will hold a Public Hearing on Thursday September 12, 2019 regarding the proposed extension of East Street in northern Westfield (Des. No. 1700728). The hearing will begin promptly at 6:00 PM at the City of Westfield – Department of Public Works Office, which is located at 2706 E 171st Street, Westfield, Indiana. The purpose of this hearing is to inform the community of the project scope and schedule, describe preliminary design plans, solicit input and comments from the community, and address questions or concerns. The proposed project is located in Washington Township of Hamilton County in the northern part of the City of Westfield. The proposed extension of East Street north is from its current terminus at 196th Street north to State Road 38. The purpose of the project is to provide improved connectivity and accessibility. The need for the project is driven by diminished access to developing areas of Westfield, lack of system continuity, and future safety concerns associated with an undesirable offset intersection. The typical section of the new roadway includes two travel lanes (one in each direction), the outside of each lane would be bordered by a bike lane and curb and gutter. To the inside of each lane would be a paved shoulder and curb. The widened travel lane section created by the inside shoulder and the outside bike lane and gutter provides additional clearance for emergency service vehicles. The northbound and southbound travel lanes would be separated by a raised median. An multi-use path is proposed along the west side of East Street. An additional 21.54 acres of permanent right-of-way (ROW) and 5.83 acres of temporary ROW are required for the proposed project. One residential relocation will occur as part of the project. This project is being processed as a Categorical Exclusion (CE) Level 4 document due to the construction of a new alignment roadway. There will be no impacts to stream or wetland resources. Copies of preliminary plans and the environmental document are available at the following locations: 1. City of Westfield’s Department of Public Works Building at 2706 E 171st Street, Westfield, IN 46074. 2. Westfield Washington Public Library at 333 W Hoover Street, Westfield, IN 46074. 3. Lochmueller Group at 3502 Woodview Trace Suite 150, Indianapolis, IN 46268. 4. The City of Westfields Website www.westfield.in.gov. Please direct any questions or comments concerning this project to Ms. Ruth Hook, Lochmueller Group, Inc., 3502 Woodview Trace, Suite 150, Indianapolis, Indiana 46268 or at (317)-222-3880 or by email at rhook@lochgroup.com. Comments on the project will be accepted for 14 days after the Public Hearing. All comments should be post marked by September 26, 2019. Public comments will be reviewed, evaluated, and receive consideration as part of the decision making process. In accordance with the “Americans with Disabilities Act”, if you have a disability for which the City of Westfield would need to provide accommodations pertaining to the accessibility to program documents and participation at the public meeting or if you are a persons of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) requiring assistance pertaining to accessing project documents and participating at the public hearing venue, contact Mr. Michael Pearce from the City of Westfield at 317-804-3150 or mpearce@westfield.in.gov. This notice is published in compliance with Code of Federal Regulations, Title 23, Section 771 (CFR 771.111(h)(1) states: “Each State must have procedures approved by the FHWA to carry out a public involvement/public hearing program.” 23 CFR 450.212(a)(7) states: “Public involvement procedures shall provide for periodic review of the effectiveness of the public involvement process to ensure that the process provides full and open access to all and revision of the process as necessary.”, approved by the Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation on August 16, 2012.

Correct grammar, Yoda’s speech is Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I’ll have to admit, I don’t know much about “Star Wars.” Somehow, I missed the window to watch the GRAMMAR GUY movies during my formative years. Although I have glasses, write about grammar and prefer staying inside, my lack of “Star Wars” appreciation makes others seriously second-guess my nerd street cred. Yoda is an awesome green Muppet who could go toe-to-toe with Chuck Norris in a head-to-head matchup. But is Yoda’s grammar correct? His sentence structure is certainly odd. He says things like, “When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not.” Odd, that sounds. Talking like this, I don’t know why I am. For the most part, English syntax (how we arrange our words) follows the same pattern. In order for a sentence to be complete, it needs a subject and a predicate. The predicate always includes a verb and often includes an object. Most English sentences follow the subject-verb-object order. In one of these popular laser sword space movies, according to Google, Darth Vader says, “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” In this sentence, “I” is the subject, “find” is the verb and “lack of faith” is the object. Many other “Star Wars” quotes follow this subject-verb-object pattern. “I am your father.” “I think I just blasted it.” “Women always figure out the truth. Always.” Yoda’s syntax follows a distinctly different pattern. For the most part, his sentences follow the object-subject-verb pattern. Let’s take this quote from Yoda: “Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.” In this sentence, “wonderful” appears first, serving as the object. This is followed by “mind,” the sentence’s subject. Finally, we get the verb, “is.” Object-subject-verb. Here’s a double: “Powerful (object) you (subject) have (verb) become; the dark side (object) I (subject) sense (verb) in you.” All of these sentences contain a subject and a predicate. Therefore, the answer to the question is: Yes, Yoda’s speech pattern is grammatically correct; strange to our ears, it just sounds.
