Congresswoman Brooks examines policing issues By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As a new member of a bipartisan policing strategy group in Congress, U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN05) wanted to engage safety with the law enforcement communities from the eight counties she represents. With that in mind, Brooks met with several members of law enforcement departments Aug. 25 at the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. “There are about 12 members of Congress (in the group) who are looking and talking about what Congress’ role is in helping our communities as we have seen so many difficult situations erupt, whether it’s Baltimore, it’s Ferguson (Mo.), Dallas or Baton Rouge,” Brooks said. Brooks said she wanted to hear from police and sheriff’s departments in her communities about the challenges they are facing. “One thing that makes me so very pleased and relieved, quite frankly, is the communities in the fifth district are showing tremendous support for their law enforcement,” Brooks said. “While we’ve had all of these issues with com-

I learned there has been outreach by our departments to make sure they have strong relationships in the communities, whether with faith communities or police academies inviting citizens into academies or working with programs like DARE

in schools.” Brooks said she learned most of the departments she met with either use or are considering using body cameras. Brooks said it is important because so many citizens are taking photos with their phones of happenings that may not always show the entire incident. “The body cameras are providing that accountability not only for the law enforcement but for the citizens,” Brooks said. “I’ve learned a lot of citizens might complain about something but when they then see what happened on that camera, whether it’s on the car or (officer), they are seeing the complaints will diminish or will go away. Far more often than not, law enforcement is doing the right thing in executing the stop or the arrest.” Brooks said in her communities there has been an increase in violence against police officers, primarily in Indianapolis. “It’s causing hiring problems in our departments,” Brooks said. “A lot of people who have contemplated law enforcement in the past are not going into law enforcement now, and that’s a big concern of all these departments.”

Savor Westfield returns By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Savor Westfield held its inaugural event last year, bringing a combined 19 restaurants, breweries and fundraiser wineries into the Bridgewater Club for 520 visitors to sample. Funds raised went to the construction of a new playground at Oak Trace Elementary School, which hasn’t been updated since the school was built. This year, the vendors will be reduced to 17, but the event will feature more Westfield businesses than other Hamilton County businesses. Ticket Epstein sales were increased to a maximum of 700. Approximately half have been sold so far. “This year with so many new Westfield restaurants, we really wanted to concentrate on Westfield, so we took out a few Carmel restaurants and added more Westfield,” Co-chair Adrianne Epstein said. Tickets are $30 pre-event or $35 at the door. The event runs from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Sept. 15 at the Bridgewater Club, 3535 E.

Grant applications now open By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Since 1992, the Westfield Education Foundation has provided Westfield Washington Schools teachers with education grants up to $1,000. Examples of past grants include vegetable gardens, weather stations, building robots, math puzzles and manipulatives and others. To date, WEF has awarded more than $200,000 for teacher grants. “All WWS staff are invited to apply for a classroom enrichment grant up to Skinner $1,000,” Executive Director Jan Skinner said. “It’s got to be for an innovative teaching idea to engage the students. It’s for outside the box ideas.” Principals will recommend a parent volunteer from their schools to read and score the grants, which are done in a blind fashion so parents do not know who is applying for which grant. Reviewers have a week to score all grants with a rubric for consistency and

then turn into Skinner, who creates a spreadsheet and presents the grant applications to the school board at its October meeting. “The school board makes the final decision at the October meeting, but we value the work the readers put into their review process, and the highest scoring grant reviews are the ones who receive awards,” Skinner said. Money awarded to teachers is available in November, but some teachers will not use it until later in the school year. “The annual teaching grant awards is an imporLutz tant program because thousands of students in all grade levels benefit,” WWS School Board President Duane Lutz said. “The Westfield Education Foundation is grateful for annual contributions from the Westfield Lions Club and Allegion that support the teacher grant program,” Skinner added. For more or for a grant application, email Skinner at foundation@wws.k12.in.us.

Smitherman to run in relay By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Angie Smitherman, an administrative manager with the City of Westfield, runs many miles to aid Back on My Feet – Indianapolis, an organization that works fundraiser to combat homelessness through running. On Sept. 17, she will add more miles to her running resume when she and 11 others travel to Cumberland, Md., to run in a 200-mile relay to Washington, D.C. Through September, Smitherman and her team will try to raise $1,200 each for Back on my Feet. Two other team members, Susannah and Bill Dyson, also are from Westfield. All three participate in the Westfield Running Club. “When I started this club last year, that’s how Bill and Susannah got introduced to Back on my Feet, and they have been volunteers for six months,” Smitherman said. “They drive downtown to Indianapolis once a week to run with the team and then come back to Westfield and go to work as engineers in Kokomo.” The relay path passs through forest trails and Civil War-era towns. The team will run past the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. The run lasts overnight from Sept.

16 to Sept. 17. Although none of the members who benefit from BOMF will travel to Maryland with the relay team, they do assist Smitherman and other relay members with their fundraising. One example is a canoe float that Smitherman organized last week for her fundraising goal. “Members help in our training and canoe float,” she said. “There is a chapter for Back on my Feet over in Washington, D.C., and this is one of their biggest fundraisers.” The relay is put on through Ragnar.

BAGI’s HomeA-Rama to hit Westfield By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis has showcased custom homes through Home-A-Rama in the Indianapolis event Metropolitan area, and this year the event will return to Westfield. There will be 11 featured homes in Chatham Hills, near Cason 191st Street and Tomlinson Road, for guests to walk through and observe. “This Home-A-Rama is featuring 11 homes, which is the biggest show we’ve done in recent years,” BAGI Director of Communications Carrie Cason said. “Typically, we have four or five homes. There are 11 fully decorated and landscaped custom homes in Chatham Hills (for the event).” Nine of the featured homes are estate homes, and two are homes of empty nesters. “Empty nesters are a big part of the marketplace right now, so we wanted to throw a few in. There will be decorating ideas, get to know the builders, design ideas – it’s sure to capture everyone’s attention,” Cason said. Home-A-Rama runs Sept. 15 through Oct. 2. A preview party will be Sept. 14. All parking will be directed to Grand Park where shuttles will transport guests to the site.

Urban Vines plans to open next summer By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Noah Herron originally wanted to bring a brewery to Westfield, but when his tastes deviated more toward cover story wine, so did his building preferences. Three years ago, Herron began making his own wine, doing experiments and testing different batches. His biochemistry degree from Indiana University aided in his efforts, too. “I’ve always wanted to open a brewery, and I got to the point to start thinking about opening one, but I started moving towards wine and there’s not a winery in Westfield,” he said. “It’s a good market to hit, and I love wine. It’s a hobby of mine, and I love it, so I don’t really look at it as being work.” Herron is excited to put his biochemistry degree to use with his work in Urban Vines. He owns Urban Farmer, 120 E. 161st St., as well, and said biochemistry isn’t used in those processes. “That’s one thing that’s nice with the winery. I’ve been starting Urban Farmer and haven’t had too much use with the biochemistry degree, but with the winery I’ll be able to start using it to find the balance of the wines and the sugars,” he said. “There’s a lot of chemistry going on behind with making a well-balanced wine.” Construction recently began on the winery, and Herron expects the building to be finished in December. Once the building is completed and all equipment is moved into it, Herron has to be approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco

Tax and Trade Bureau. He doesn’t have any doubts about not being approved, though. The wine takes six months to two years to age, and Herron will begin his own vineyard across three acres behind the tasting room and winery, as well. “December is what we are aiming for to have our winery license, and then we can start making wine,” he said. “We may have some of the faster aging wines available late spring to early summer. We will probably open in early summer and have limited availability of certain wines and slowly over the next year start having a full stock of what we want to offer.” With Indiana’s climate, it’s not possible to grow dry red grapes to make cabernets or merlots. Herron plans on offering two sweet- to medium-range white wines, one sweet red and one dry red created with hybrid grapes. He also will receive

Behind the tomato wine “Tomato wine sounds not that delicious, and I don’t know if it is because I’ve never had it, but right now we are harvesting a bunch of our tomatoes for Urban Farmer and all we want is the seed,” said Noah Herron, owner of Urban Vines and Urban Farmer. “So I didn’t want to throw away the flesh of the tomato, and one thing that popped up as a solution was tomato wine.” Herron said tomato wine is interesting to make since there are so many different kinds of tomatoes. Depending on the tomatoes used, the wine should taste like a sweet, blush wine with a slight tomato background.

grapes and juices shipped to make his own dry reds. “I really do like dry reds, they’re my favorite, but since it takes three or four years for a vineyard to be established, we will be bringing in grapes and juices from New York and California, so we will have dry reds, merlots and cabs and the sweet stuff,” Herron said. He also wants to try meads, honey wine, blackberry wine,

strawberry wine and even tomato wine. The building will be 4,000 square feet with a tasting room, a bar and a back patio that overlooks the vineyard. “I think we have an awesome location and great wine is another important factor,” Herron said. “Westfield is growing at a really fast pace, so I think the need for more entertainment or restaurants or places to relax and have a drink are needed. Westfield has younger demographics, and I think it’s a great age group for a winery.” There are no other wineries or vineyards in Westfield. For more, visit urban-vines.com/ about.html.

No love affairs now with cars

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Tom Purcell I’m a car guy. As a teen, I spent hours working on my dad’s car, buffing and polishing it with the hope that I’d be permitted to take it out for the night with my friends. The automobile was our ticket to freedom. It saddens me that younger generations, according to a variety of recent studies, couldn’t possibly care less about the automobile. The smartphone is their connection to the outside world, after all, and their Uber driver will take them wherever they want to go. Really, they have no idea what they’re missing. The first car I ever drove was a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. It was then, and still is now, an American icon. My first car, which I bought fresh out of college, was a bright orange 1972 Plymouth Duster. It was nothing to boast about but it was all mine and gave me the freedom to explore God’s great open spaces anytime I pleased. Later came a 1987 Firebird with a T-top roof, which heightened my social life; a 1970 VW Beetle convertible that gave me the best summer of my life; a 1978 MGB convertible a few summers after that; a 2000 Jeep Wrangler 4x4 that had too many mechanical issues; eventually, a new 2010 Nissan Maxima, spacious, sleek and fast, but it was terrible in snow; a new 2012 Jeep Wrangler, for which I traded the 4x4 Jeep and Maxima; and a leased 2013 Infiniti G37X with all-wheel-drive. Now I’m driving a 2008 Toyota 4Runner that is incredibly reliable and spacious. I marvel at its quality. Memories. The youth of today will never know what they’re missing. © 2016 Tom Purcell.

Moral misanthropes Commentary by Terry Anker The French actor and playwright JeanBaptiste Poquelin is attributed with saying “I prefer a pleasant vice to an annoying virtue.” While most of us will not know Monsieur Popuelin even by his stage name, Moliere, we can all too easily identify with his sentiment. To be sure, we humans are highly resistant to the poorly delivered admonishment of others as they assert their moral, intellectual, financial, or other supposed superiority. We take the ethical example as reprobation rather than inspiration. We will repeatedly choose a polite lie over a harsh truth. Nevertheless, we have become a nation too eager to embrace vice, and too precious to note the presence or absence of virtue. Avarice, conceit, greed, sanctimony and fornication are adjectives to describe so many to whom we ascribe our admiration. In place of these words formerly one would find the concepts of prudence, thrift, trust, humility and dedication. Consider the big and memo-

rable stories from the recent Rio Olympic Games. Certainly, a great song, terrific film, amazing play, or electrifying speech may be worth lauding. But what is the ratio in the measure of a person? How many gold medals procured, millions of votes garnered, or billions of dollars earned offsets the reek of moral decay? Perhaps chief among our vices is our overreaction to annoying virtues. Somewhere along the way, we came to know that the world, like Moliere, prefers a charming scoundrel more than a moral misanthrope. It is understandable, too. But how do we measure the long-term cost of shunning ethical responsibility in the pursuit of hip hedonism? And if we could, would we behave any differently? If only it were a bit more fun.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EEK “Education has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.” – G. M. Trevelyan

I have had it up to the top of my ginger head with mean people! Last week in particular was a doozey. One of humor my daughter’s besties picked a fight with her, jealous over the amount of time she’d been spending with another classmate. A man completely went off on me in a school parking lot, angry that I hadn’t seen his turn signal. And some old biddy was unhelpful to the point of being obstructive to a friend of mine. Can’t we all get along? My daughter’s gal pal I can somewhat excuse. She’s at that age where friendships are both sacred and flighty, and girl drama rules. Insecurities, immaturity, and even the lunch menu can create intense situations that no one under 20 can be expected to handle gracefully. It doesn’t help that my child is Miss Sensitive, so the idea that somebody is mad at her, however irrational the reason, sends her into hysterics, which I’m then supposed to “handle.” No can do, my darling. Mom out! The guy at the school I just don’t get at all. I was in a long line of carpool traffic and honestly never saw his signal indicating his intention to park in a spot he’d already missed. So when he started to reverse, I honked. And kept right on honking until he finally stopped, rolled down his window, and screamed me the riot act. Pardon me, sir, but where are your manners? Rudeness only earns you a spot on my Dill-hole list, which beeteedubs, has just been updated. The next morning, a former colleague relayed her own mean people story. While requesting her transcript for a job application, the bitter spinster in charge outright refused to forward it because she thought the place of employment wouldn’t be interested in someone who didn’t have the “right qualifications.” What the what? Even if you are cold and dead inside, you shouldn’t treat people like that. Be nice! If nothing else, showing compassion will keep you off this dance mom’s poo list. Remember, I have melodramatic tweens and frustrated job-seekers as allies. Peace out.

Commentary by Jonathan Matthes

Commentary by Erin Murphy

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: an established Secretary of State, with a famous last name, facing off against a political outsider who made his fortune in real estate. I am, of course, speaking of the 1828 presidential election of John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. We want to look at the past through sepia-tinted glasses. We want to imagine that it was a time where our presidential candidates treated their opponents with respect. It’s a myth, and the ugliest example may have been in 1828. The question on the table was who better represented America. Adams, the son of a Founding Father, was cosmopolitan, cutting his teeth as a diplomat in foreign lands. Jackson, orphaned during childhood, was the heroic general of the battle of New Orleans. Each had obvious strengths. Their surrogates tried to contort the opponent’s strengths into weaknesses. Adams’ international experience was turned to make Adams look disconnected from the average American. Jackson’s military experience was mocked with Coffin Handbills, fliers that featured coffins on them, one for each American executed under Jackson’s command. Wives were not off limits. Adams had married an Englishwoman, which was used to illustrate how detached he was from America. The most vitriol was saved for Jackson’s wife, Rachel. After her abusive first marriage ended, she and Jackson were married. But it was before the divorce was technically finalized. This technicality was aired out before the nation in 1828. Rachel was vilified as an adulteress, a bigamist and worse. Jackson won the election, but for Rachel the attacks burrowed deep in her soul. She died of a heart attack just before her husband’s inauguration. Everyone blamed the election. Jackson would never forgive Adams or himself. As they say, in presidential politics, there’s nothing new under the sun.

She may be a newer member of our City of Westfield team, but she has already made an impact. On paper, Cari Hahn is Mayor Andy Cook’s executive assistant, but her role has become so much more. If you’re feeling like you need a little pick-me-up, you stop by Cari’s office. She will greet you with a warm smile and launch in to some hilarious story involving her kids, and her infectious laugh will follow, which will be just what you needed to change your day around. This hasn’t changed as she is always trying to make other people From left, Pat Leuteritz and Emily Clark laugh even though for the watch as Cari Hahn opens items from her past five months Cari has box of sunshine. (Submitted photo) been battling breast cancer. In March, Cari found a lump on her breast. She got it checked out, and sure enough it was cancer, but then as doctors did their due diligence they checked and there was another spot that tested positive. Since then Cari has had surgery, and she has just finished her second round of chemotherapy. In the months that followed her diagnosis, Cari’s co-workers have wanted to give back. Cari received a box of sunshine, which contained anything and everything that will make her smile. From a yellow boa to yellow Big Bird slippers, the box is meant to help her forget about her problems, even if it is just for a moment. Also, employees banned together and donated 1,492 hours of sick time for Cari to use, and employees show their support by wearing a hat or a handkerchief on their head every Friday. Just another way to remind Cari the city is not just her employer, but an extension of her family. Cari still has more rounds of chemo and she will soon begin radiation, but no matter what is going on in her life she still greets you with a smile and a funny story.

What’s better than rotisserie chicken? It’s inexpensive, tasty and relatively healthful, a win-win all the way around … humor and around, and around. But Mary Ellen and I don’t rotisserize our own. We prefer the plump, herbencrusted delights at Sam’s Club or Costco. At $4.95, it’s worth the drive. We recently made the trip, hoping to get in and out quickly, since all we wanted was the chicken. On the way to the back of the store, I picked up a new iPad. There was a good deal on printer ink. I also grabbed two cases of imported beer. We selected our chicken, and on the way up to the register, Mary Ellen stocked up on some chocolate truffles they were featuring … oh, and two bottles of her favorite wine. We tasted some yummy mini eggrolls a woman was offering as samples, and then we bought several boxes to freeze. At the register, the clerk totaled our purchases. “Boy that chicken smells delish,” she said. “I know,” I responded. “How can they possibly afford to sell an entire cooked chicken for only $4.95?” “I don’t know. Okay, that will be $640. Enjoy

your dinner.” A few days later, I read in USA Today that the rotisserie chicken conglomerate (which sounds like a bad recipe for the leftovers) is coming under some heat. Consumer advocates are questioning whether a prepared bird from Costco or Sam’s Club is really worth the price on a per-pound basis. Consumers Digest claims that the rotisserie chicken “looks cheap, but it’s really not, which can easily mislead people.” (I remember my father saying something like this to my sister when she started wearing makeup in the ninth grade.) When my wife read this, she started to buy fresh chickens out of the refrigerated case again. After she gets the birds home she gives them a very careful inspection, wiggling the wings and legs, then poking the breasts and finally sniffing them thoroughly. She was sure one particular chicken wasn’t any good. I told her neither of us could pass a test like that, either.

Carmel on Canvas returns for third year By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Carmel on Canvas will bring plein air painters to the streets of the Arts and Design District for the third year. Jerry Points created the event when he had the art Eye on Art gallery in Carmel and recognized the national exposure plein air painting events were getting. Plein air is a painting that is completed outside. “There is such an increase in plein air painters participating in these events, and with that comes a number of people that want to see it,” Points said. “This is an open paint out where anyone can participate. The joy I think in what it offers to the public is the fact that you have artists that are trying to create original paintings based on what they’re looking at.” There is a $5,000 first place prize and $13,000 in additional prizes. The event is expected to draw 150 artists. There is a professional division and a non-professional division, as well as two quick paints and a teen division. On Sept. 18 from 2 to 5 p.m., artists will sell artwork in the park just south of Bub’s Burgers. On Sept. 17, a judge will determine winners, and a reception will be held at 6 p.m. with awards presented at 7 p.m. on 2nd Ave. NW. Points said most paintings are completed in two to three hours. “Coming into town, you’re going to see a number of people on the street and side streets and off of the Monon trail painting, and it’s easy to go from one to the other to see how their progress is going,” he said.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Annually we survey and observe tailgaters throughout this area, and the findings have changed only slightly over the last 20 years. The most popular food for tailgaters and Americans in general is the sandwich. So what kind of sandwich is always a hit? We have found that the bratwurst is the favorite hot sandwich with 31 percent of tailgaters but it wasn’t always so. Back in the mid-90s we served a tailgate party to the student staffers for Penn State press box. Most of them had not even heard of brats. Today that’s not the case. Johnsonville, the country’s leader in sausage, has brats for sale from Maine to California. Here are the two favorite sandwiches of tailgaters: • Bratwurst – 31 percent • Hamburgers – 13.2 percent When you see sausages cooking and there’s smoke and flames flaring up, don’t eat them - just walk away. All those flames and clouds of smoke mean the juices have escaped the sausage’s casing (outer skin) and fallen onto the coals or fire. Here’s an important point: don’t break the sausage casing with anything but your teeth. Put away those metal tongs and forks. So how do you cook brats so that they squirt juice into your mouth? Here is a recipe and directions for the best brats you ever had. Beer brats Ingredients: One package of five Johnsonville Original (uncooked) brats, One 12 oz. can of beer (your favorite brand), Five hot dog or sausage buns, French’s mustard (classic yellow, dijon or horseradish), One Small onion chopped

Preparation: Day before - Place the uncooked brats into a sauce pan and cover them with beer. Bring the beer to a simmer and cook the sausages for 20 minutes. This process cooks the inside of the sausage without breaking the casings. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and cool it with ice and cold water. When cooled, take the brats out of the water with your bare hands (no metal) and place them into a plastic zip bag and store them overnight in your fridge. On game day - Put the zip bag into your food cooler for transport to the stadium. Spray your grill with cooking spray and then heat it to cook the brats. Using gloves (clean white cotton work gloves are fine) place the brats onto the grill. Keep a pot of cold water handy to dip the gloves into to protect your hands. Turn the brats until they are as brown as you want on all sides.

Last year, the company held the inaugural event and raised approximately $1,200 for the Wounded Warrior Project. However, this year the company wanted to raise money for a more local organization. “We really want to promote that we want to give back to our veterans and this is a family friendly event,” Marketing Manager with Foster, Pike & Associates Sarah Shonk said. “The community is welcome to attend.” Huge Impact will have a food truck, selling Americana dishes such as hamburgers, Philly cheesesteaks and more. The first 60 guests will get their meal for $5, which Huge Impact will donate to the Wish for Our Heroes fund. There will be live music and various other activities, including a dunk tank and a paintball game. Tickets for the separate activities are $1, and corn hole is free. “Part of what we with for our marketing budget is, we try to do events that are fun for our clientele but also gives back to the community,” Shonk said. “This is how we choose

to do our marketing. We chose Wish for Our Heroes because it is a local organization and a lot of volunteers work for them.

Cast named for ‘Into the Woods’ By Zach Dunkin • news@currentinwestfield.com

Three Hamilton County actors have earned roles in the large cast of “Into the Woods,” debuting at the Beef & Boards theater Dinner Theatre Oct. 6. The dinner theatre on the northwest side of Indianapolis recently announced the 15-member cast for the Brothers Grimm tale. The cast will include Danny Kingston, Westfield, will play Jack, a role he performed a decade ago when he attended Westfield High School. Don Farrell, Carmel, the co-founder of and producing Kingston artistic director for Carmel’s Actors Theatre of Indiana, will play the baker. Grace Sell, Noblesville, will have two roles, Cinderella’s stepmother and Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother. The cast also includes five actors from Indianapolis: Suzanne Stark, a former Carmel resident, who will play Jack’s mother; Jaddy Ciucci, who will portray Little Red Riding Hood; and A.J. Morrison and Christine Zavakos, who

will play Steward and Florinda, respectively. The musical earned Tony Awards for book by James Lapine and score by Stephen Sondheim and starred multi-award winning actress Meryl Streep as the witch. Originally opening on Broadway in 1987, “Into the Woods” was brought to the big screen by Disney in 2014. The film version earned three Oscar nominations. “With the recent successful productions of ‘The Addams Family,’ ‘Les Misérables’ and ‘Chicago’ on our stage, we felt we could choose a show that had a little more of a dramatic tone,” said Douglas E. Stark, Farrell executive director. “With its success on Broadway and Disney, ‘Into the Woods’ has developed a wider audience ap peal, and we felt we needed to place it in our season.” “Into the Woods” is on stage for 49 performances through Nov. 20. Tickets range from $41 to $66 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet and select beverages. For tickets, call the box office at 317-872-9664. 

Coley to share memories By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com John Ford Coley loves to share stories, songs and laughs with the audience. “The audience can come in theater for an hour-and-a-half and forget about all the nonsense going on outside those doors,” Coley said. “They can take a trip down memory lane and enjoy themselves and not think about what’s going in Milwaukee (recent riots) for the moment.” Coley and former Hollies singer Terry Sylvester, 69, will play at 8 p.m. Sept 10 at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave. SW, Carmel. Coley, 67, plays his 1970s hits with England Dan such as “Nights are Forever Without You,” “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” and “Love is the Answer.” Dan Seals, younger brother of Jim Seals of Seals and Croft, died in 2009. Sylvester and Coley typically play a few times together through the year. Some of the Hollies’ hits include “Carrie Ann,” “Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)” and “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.” Coley said the Hollies’ “The Air That I Breathe” is his personal favorite. “Playing acoustic is something I really enjoy because you can play a wide variety of songs and pretty much play the songs in their original form,” said Coley, who performs

internationally. Coley is finishing a new album, Eclectic, with 26 songs. “Man, they are eclectic, they range from classical to pop to rock to swamping to Americana to county to folk,” Coley said. Coley said he likely will only play one selection from the new album. “Since Terry and I have a lot of songs we play together, we don’t play a lot of new things,” Coley said.

Freshly baked banana nut bread can be made for dessert, a snack or fun breakfast. (Submitted photo)

Treat the kids to baked banana bread for breakfast this fall Commentary by Beth Aasen Co-owner of Donatello’s Italian Restaurant School supplies have been purchased, and kids are back in school, which can only mean it’s time for fall. If you work a lot, it can be hard to make a fresh breakfast for your kids every morning, and you feel bad serving them cold cereal and milk every day. A fun breakfast they’ll love could be a freshly baked banana nut bread. Kids can wrap and take it with them if they’re in a hurry. I know what you’re thinking, “Doesn’t she own an Italian restaurant?” Yes, but my family enjoys all types of foods. This is one autumn treat my mother would make for us when we were kids. Ingredients: 2 cups unbleached allpurpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 12 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, 3 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed (about 1 1/2 cups),

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat the inside of a cooking pan with cooking spray, preferably a 9-by-5-inch loaf span. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Combine the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and then with a mixer on medium-high speed cream together the ingredients until fluffy. This hould take two to three minutes. Add the eggs, bananas and vanilla and beat until smooth. With a wooden spoon, stir in the mixture until just combined and then stir in the chopped walnuts. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake the loaf for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in comes out clean. Let cool for five minutes in the pan before removing. If you like, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top or spread a white cream cheese icing on the outside of the banana bread to make it a dessert.

Fewer homes now on the market Commentary by Jim Litten In the 14-county region F.C. Tucker tracks, approximately 10,000 homes were on the market in July, a 16.5 percent real estate drop, or approximately 2,000 fewer homes for sale, compared to July 2015.

In July, Hamilton County had 1,897 active listings, a decrease of 5 percent from this time last year. Pended sales also declined 8.2 percent in July, but sales remained consistent with 2015. The average sales price also rose 1.8 percent, now at $282,131. • In Westfield, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 1.9 percent to $299,354. • Inventory moved at a slower pace in Westfield in July 2016.

Event targets overtime changes

By Anna Skinner â&#x20AC;˘ anna@youarecurrent.com With the Dept. of Labor overtime changes approaching Dec. 1, the Westfield Chamber of Commerce held an development economic development breakfast Aug. 26 with Church, Church Hittle and Antrim to speak on overtime changes and what employers need to know. CCHA Partners Brent Borg and Kevin Smith gave a presentation highlighting different options employers will have in December. The change will bring the salary of those exempt from overtime from a minimum of $23,660 to $47,475. Employers must pay exempt employees that minimum or reclassify their jobs to hourly where they can either work a 40-hour work week or be paid overtime. Borg said the new law came about mostly because of retail workers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those who work beween 60 to 80 hours a week and receive a salary of $25,000 to $35,000. The two options presented were to either

heighten the employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary to the new minimum, or put the employee on an hourly payroll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to move people around, you need to consider not only the effect of that person but the effect of other employees by moving them around,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an employer, you want to keep them happy. If someone is making a certain amount of money and expecting a certain amount of overtime, that might not go over so well, so you might be taking risks.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To reasonably control the costs associated with switching an employee to non-exempt, employers should consider implementing measures to control overtime, such as job sharing or additional hires,â&#x20AC;? Borg added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Particularly, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving a situation of someone exempt and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it, you need to think about controlling hours and controlling overtime. You need to think about the control issue and what the overtime impact is going to be.â&#x20AC;? For more, visit www.dol.gov.

Aiming for a healthy weight Commentary by Debra Balos, DO, IU Health Physicians Family Medicine Believing that “thin is in” overlooks the true definition of what it means to be healthy. Alfamily medicine though weight management is important, a lower number on the scale doesn’t necessarily mean you’re healthier. In addition to maintaining a reasonable weight, optimal health is based on many factors, including good nutrition, regular exercise, quality sleep and sound well-being. Setting realistic weight loss goals isn’t a bad idea. In fact, many people can gain health benefits by shedding a few pounds. Your primary care doctor can help you set achievable goals and assist in determining a weight range you should aim for given your body type and age. By checking your blood pressure, cholesterol levels and blood sugar, he or she also can assess your risk of heart attack or stroke and tell whether your weight increases your risk. When thinking about weight loss, remember that health can be improved by losing just 5 to 10 percent of your body weight. Modest weight loss, even just five or 10

pounds, can make you feel better and increase your energy level. Instead of focusing on how much weight you think you should lose, work to make long-term lifestyle changes that will benefit your overall health: • Eat healthier – Make vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean protein the backbone of your diet. Cut down on serving sizes, and learn to know when you’re full. • Exercise daily – Try to fit at least 30 minutes of physical activity into your day. This doesn’t have to be at a gym or in a class. When pressed for time, take a brisk walk at lunchtime or climb extra flights of stairs between meetings or before work. Most importantly, ban the notion that “thin is in,” and commit to sensibly managing your weight and improving your health and well-being.

One of the most common topics our clients ask about when it comes to remodeling is the budget. People want to know design what they can expect to spend on a remodel and where that money is going. Understanding how much a project will cost will help determine the scope of the project and if financing is needed. With each project and home being different, it’s nearly impossible to give a set figure on what a renovation should cost. That said, we can provide some guidelines to help you determine an appropriate remodeling budget and understand where the costs lie. Having this information can help you decide if it’s the right time to remodel. For a complete kitchen remodel, we recommend budgeting 10 percent to 20 percent of your home’s value. It’s important to note some of the specific details that are included in the cost breakdown. Some of the biggest expenses are cabinets, which make up 38 to 50 percent of the budget, and countertops, which make up 12 to 20 percent. Mechanical costs, which include anything related to electrical, plumbing, or HVAC, are 7 to 18 percent of the total budget, and flooring can be 8 to 15 percent of the bud-

Your cabinets and countertops for the vanity can be up to 24 percent and 8 percent, respectively, of your total budget. Fixtures, including faucets, tubs, sinks, shower doors, lighting, and other accessories, can make up 15 percent of your final cost.

Golden Temple in Amritsar, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Golden Temple of equality Commentary by Don Knebel The Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, is the holiest spot on earth for millions. The people who worship there provide an travel example of living out the teachings of one’s religious beliefs. In the 15th century, Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, came to a tranquil lake in the Punjab region of northwest India to meditate. That lake and the city that grew up around it became known as “Amritsar,” the tank of immortal nectar. Beginning in 1577, the fifth guru of Sikhism squared the lake and erected a gurdwara, or temple, in the middle of it to hold the Granth Sahib, the holy scriptures of Sikhism. The temple, officially named “Harmandir Sahib,” the abode of God, was modified to its current configuration in the 18th century. In the early 19th century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, a Sikh ruler, covered the exterior with gilded copper, giving the temple its popular name. The square temple, resting on a square platform, has four entrances, symbolizing the Sikh teaching that all people and religions are entitled to equal

respect. The temple’s design incorporates both traditional Hindu and Islamic elements, again reflecting the spiritual tolerance at the heart of the Sikh religion. Each day, from before dawn to past sunset, more than 100,000 visitors from around the world, with bare feet and covered heads, silently file past the original Granth Sahib, housed on the first floor of the Golden Temple. Musicians sitting beside the holy book, considered the Sikh’s 11th and final guru, chant hymns, accompanied by instruments. Before entering, some worshippers bathe in the lake, purifying their souls. Afterwards, visitors of any faith can enjoy a free meal of lentils and flatbread prepared by legions of volunteers working in a huge kitchen nearby. For Sikhs, faith is as much a matter of doing as believing. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column, visit donknebel.com.

Preserve kids’ artwork – When your young ones bring home artwork, especially items that smudge easily like chalk, you can preserve the surface. Spritz it with hairspray. This sets the media so it won’t smudge easily. Source: RD.com

Clean curling irons – Styling gel or conditioner can cake onto curling irons, making them less efficient. Spray the iron (not plugged in) with a light coating of oven cleaner. Allow to sit for an hour. Wipe off with a damp rag and dry with a cloth for a curling iron that works like new. Source: RD.com

Shaving cream for cleaning – To clean up marks, glue or paint from a table, try this teacher’s trick: Spray a dollop of shaving cream on the surface and spread with a dry sponge.
