Members of the Westfield High School volleyball team will recognize first responders between the junior varsity and varsity games on Sept. 11. (Submitted photo)
Volleyball teams to honor heroes On the 13th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in American history, the Westfield and Noblesville high school recognition volleyball teams will honor local heroes during its First Responder Recognition night on Sept. 11. “We will be honoring our police, fire and EMTs during the evening. The public is encouraged to attend to honor these important individuals and to enjoy an exciting night of volleyball,” WHS Athletic Director Bill Davis said. First responders will be honored between the junior varsity and varsity contests. The JV match begins at 6 p.m. “The athletes will be wearing patriotic colors
during the games. We would encourage anyone who would like to come and recognize first responders for their service to wear patriotic colors too,” Davis said. Admission is $5 and all first responders will be admitted free of charge. “Noblesville is heavily involved in this,” Westfield Volleyball Parent Jim Goodson said. Goodson said the recognition will include speakers, a moment of silence, sound clips from first responders, a special National Anthem and recognition of local heroes. “It started out as something small,” Goodson said. “That date heightened the thought process … When it landed on that date it gave us a sense to do something.”

minutes with Nancy Lewis By Melissa Hicks Meet Nancy Lewis, an administrative assistant at Weas Engineering and has been a Westfield resident for two years. What is your favorite restaurant and why? “I used to really like Lincoln Square. They closed because of all the construction on (U.S.) 31, but I’ve heard that they just reopened on (Ind.) 32 east of 31. Sarah, my daughter, and I are probably going to try it out. I love breakfast on the weekend.” If you could travel anywhere, where would it be and why? “I probably would go back to Germany. I’ve been there twice, once when I was a very little girl and once when I was on a business trip. But even then I didn’t have that much time to really to do sightseeing, so I would definitely love to go back there. I have several cousins over there. Or, if I could, my second favorite place would be Italy.”
What is something nobody knows about you? “Unless people know me really well, they probably don’t realize that I do like to do painting and calligraphy.” Do you have a pet? “I have three of them, two cats and a dog. My daughter says they’re like our children, and she‘s right. The cats are Heartly and Bebe, they’re a boy and a girl. And the dog, his name is Cookie.” What do you like most about your community? “I think that Westfield has that small-town feel, but you’re not that far away from other things. Even Indianapolis is not that far away.” Five Minutes With is a recurring feature of Current in Westfield. If you or someone you know would like to be featured, please e-mail melissa@youarecurrent.com.
Meet your teacher, Pamela Wurtz Grade/subject: Second grade, Maple Glen Elementary School Number of years teaching: 11 Background/schooling: Aiken High School, Cincinnati; and bachelors in elementary education, University of Cincinnati. Why did you become a teacher? I have always loved school. I love the idea of learning and discovering new things. It also allows me to work with really incredible young people. Seeing those light bulb moments and teaching them something totally new is very rewarding. What goals do you have for your students? I want them to develop a love of learning and to see that although we all have different strengths and weaknesses, we are all capable of success. It is okay for us to learn at a different pace or not know something, but it’s not okay to not try.
What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? The biggest things parents should do to help their children learn are to read with them, to offer them life experiences, and to communicate with them. Encourage them to ask questions and take time to listen. What is your favorite movie? “Sound of Music” Who is your favorite musician or band? Adele, Norah Jones and Carrie Underwood What’s something your students might not know about you? I know almost all of the lyrics to the theme songs from all those ’70s shows such as “Gilligan’s Island,” “The Brady Bunch,” “Green Acres” and “The Beverly Hillbillies.”

Kids sale returns to fairgrounds By Mackenzie Klahr • news@currentinwestfield.com A seasonal consignment sale is looking to bring in roughly 50,000 items and save parents’ lots of money with rates up business to 90 percent off department store prices. The Indy Kids Sale, which takes place twice a year in March and September at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville, has everything parents need at a much lower cost. Sales organizer Lori Chandler of Fishers sees the low prices as the beauty of the sale. “We have so many families that are literally spending nothing on their kids items because they are buying them used and are bringing them back the next year,” Chandler said. The sale, which is made up of registered consignors must bring in a minimum of 30 items and they then receive 65 to 70 percent of their profits. Unlike typical consignment stores, the consignors have the opportunity to price their own items and the option to work the sale in order to earn higher percentage rates back. Chandler, who started out as a shopper, eventually became a consignor before taking over the business in 2009. Originally having 15 families, the sale now has up to 300 families participate each year and welcomes 3,000 shoppers during the three-day shopping period. The sale, which will take place from the Sept.

11 through 13, will focus primarily on fall and winter clothes, while the March sale sells spring and summer items. “There are lots of things that are kid related that are not seasonal like any equipment type thing that you would use for kids, toys and stuff like that, so that’s pretty much the same from season to season,” Chandler said. One thing Chandler takes pride in is the organization of the sale as the items are separated by children’s age and size allowing parents to get in and get out quickly. “It’s not a requirement to spend thousands of dollars on your kids. There is a better way,” Chandler said. “They don’t have to break the bank to clothe their kids.” For more information, visit www.indykidssale. com.

Incidents, arrests on the rise By Holly Demaree • news@currentinwestfield.com On Aug. 28, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office held a drug forum at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds to address the drugs rising incidents of drug use and arrests of local residents. The goal of the forum, according to law enforcement, was to educate, not lecture. Jeanine Motsay, a resident of Hamilton County, began the forum by speaking about her son, Sam Motsay, who died on May 11 due to the use of the drug NBome. S.A. Louis Arona of the Drug Enforcement Agency said NBome is about the size of a quarter and is put on a piece of paper with intriguing designs on them. “I’ve been told NBome is like LSD except it is 60 times stronger; the effects are instant and can last up to 12 hours,” Arona said. Currently there is no antidote to NBome and is most commonly seen being used by people between the ages of 15 and 29. Major A. Dietz of the Hamilton-Boone County Drug Task Force focused on how these issues are directly affecting Hamilton County. The addicts that the task force comes into to contact with the most are addicted to heroin. “One-tenth of a sweet and low is all one needs to get high off of heroin,” he said. It would cost about $20 for that amount of heroin and some pay that three to four times a day. Dietz explains that this then causes some to

steal to help pay for this habit. “One person admitted to committing 30 crimes. That is 30 victims for opiate drugs,” said Dietz. State Sen. Jim Merritt (R-Indianapolis) spoke about how drugs are affecting the Hamilton County community and the importance of the Lifeline Law, which he was instrumental in getting signed into law. “I am not willing to say goodbye to a generation,” said Merritt. “I understand kids make mistakes but it should not end their life. So, let’s use our fear for something positive and talk to our kids.”

Festival highlights auto history By Beth Taylor • news@currentinwestfield.com Discover how Indiana innovators played a role in shaping the nation’s automotive industry during the inaugural conner prairie Festival of Machines at Conner Prairie Sept. 13 and 14. The display includes vintage cars, military aircraft, tractors, steam engines and construction equipment. Visitors can meet racecar driver Pippa Mann, learn about building soap-box derby cars and take a ride in a Dallara IndyCar. “The real story is just how important Indiana’s automotive history is Indiana car companies were prolific. There was so much talent and so much ingenuity that Indiana could have rivaled Detroit,” said Chris Petrelli, director of programs and education at Conner Prairie. A select group of classic cars will be featured throughout the weekend festival, highlighted by well-maintained models, such as a 1933 Marmon Sixteen Victoria Coupe, 1914 Stutz Bearcat and a 1927 Cadillac Duel Cowl Phaeton. “Without a doubt, the 500 brought those innovative minds to Indiana, and propelled the entire auto industry forward,” Petrelli said. Planning for the large-scale, all-things-transportation festival began months ago. Petrelli and his team look for ways to highlight the scientific concepts to be informative and educational as well as entertaining. “In addition to getting to see vintage automo-

Voices from the Past teaches students, residents about local history and those that helped to shape the city By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Voices from the Past began in 2011 as a unique way to learn about Westfield’s history through the lives of former citizens. cover story The event combines the parks department with volunteers from its Heritage Committee, Westfield Playhouse and WestfieldWashington Historical Society. “It wouldn’t happen without the playhouse and historical society,” said Jordan McBride of the Westfield Parks Dept. Main Street Productions/ Westfield Playhouse President McBride John Sampson said each organization has an important role and depends on the others – the historical society writes the script, the playhouse actors share the script with the public and the parks department provides a venue for it to take place. “It’s really expanded. We work together for the betterment of the city. We came together as an idea that developed from one performance four years ago to four sessions now,” he said. “Westfield is proud of its heritage. I’m really proud of what Westfield has done on this.” McBride said the event has 48 tour guides and 60 volunteers. “It celebrates our Quaker heritage and encourages people to learn about our history,” he said. New this year is the addition of tours on Saturday evening and a new keepsake program. “Not only does it include more of the history but we also are doing a now and then as part of the tour. It tells what buildings were in the past and what they are now like Grand Junction Brewing Co. was the blacksmith shop,” McBride said.
Touring the graveyards Westfield has two historic cemeteries located within its parks. The Old Friends Cemetery in Old Friends Cemetery Park and Anti-Slavery Cemetery in Asa Bales Park were created one year apart in the mid-1830s. Old Friends Cemetery Park was established in 1834 and is the site of the first cemetery in Westfield. “People shy away from it but it’s beautiful in there,” McBride said. “Guests look on the ground and see headstones that say 1840, 1850. People who founded the city are buried in the city.” Westfield-Washington Historical Society’s Bruce Hansen is tasked with creating the script each year and finding new people to profile that

are buried in the two cemeteries. He said scripts are based on when people are born, where they lived, what events occurred in their lifetime, what they did and who they were associated with. “We feature three to four persons of historic interest in each cemetery,” said Hansen. “I find people of the same era and chronological events to accurately portray them. You just have to piece it together.”
History comes alive Sampson said the actors dress in outfits similar to the time frame and take time off work to be out interacting with students and the public. “Actors get into it so much. They get the script and go online and being researching the person.
It adds a little bit of color,” Sampson said. “They are so interested in the person they are doing they want all the details.” Sampson said this year brings more Westfield residents into the acting portion of the event. “Six actors are Westfield residents acting for the first time and have never been on the stage,” he said. “The general consensus among actors is that portraying someone who actually lived, taking their life story is an honor. It’s a joy to present that.” McBride said this year’s Voices from the Past will have more exposure as four Westfield Washington Schools groups are taking field trips on Sept. 12 for a combined 24 tours. Organizers said the event is a interesting and engaging way to show Westfield history to those students to get them excited about history. “It’s a living history. You are living the history of that person. Students sit with their mouths a gap. We bring the classroom to life and they remember it better,” Sampson said. “It’s a different way to make history fun. We’re being really creative ways to find ways to get the kids involved, make them interested. You’re there and in it rather than reading a book,” McBride said.
Louann and John Rhodes (Shaquenta and James Purdie) pray for their safety.
The tours Guided tours run every 10 minutes from 6 to 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 and 1 to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 6:30 p.m. Sept. 13. Tours, which run rain or shine, begin at the east entrance to Asa Bales Park, 211 N. Union St., and last approximately 90 minutes with approximately 35 minutes of walking.

The joke’s on Mary Ellen
FROM THE BACKSHOP
Apprenticeship is taking flight
Opportunity comes in all forms and fashions, we believe. When serial entrepreneur Ron Brumbarger, he of Bitwise Solutions fame, began Apprentice University, we were all ears and major proponents of the effort. In short, AU takes the “educational industrial complex,” against which we have railed multiple times, and sends it straight down the garbage disposal. So Brumbarger got the bright idea to deploy apprentices, for pay, at area businesses, ones where they could learn up close and determine whether a particular profession is right for them. Here at Current Publishing, we decided to become more involved, and rather than simply be a supporter of AU we decided we should have our own apprentice. Enter Melissa Hicks, an AU enrollee that was sent our way without a lick of journalism experience. She had writing samples, but they were more along the lines of term papers rather than news or feature stories. So, this was going to be a ground-up initiative, and we were eager to take her on. Paying forward, we call it. People helped us once upon a time, so why not do the same? Easy answer. Done. Melissa, a Sheridan resident and a homeschooled, enthusiastic young woman, began her apprenticeship with Current a couple weeks ago. We told her she would start slowly, and we would communicate regularly in an attempt to green her as much as we’re able to in the five-month run of the apprenticeship. As a matter of fact, in our Community section today, you’ll see the initial fruits of her labor, “5 Minutes With …”. It’s not rocket science, and we told her that, but it is a perfect way for a young reporter to get out of the office, make connections and learn how to question an interview subject so that person may be “introduced” to his or her fellow readers. So far, so good. Her intellect and drive will serve her well here and well beyond the apprenticeship. It’s going to be fun helping her develop in this industry. Wish her luck.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
Manners expose character Commentary by Terry Anker Crass, boorish behavior that was once the hallmark of the uneducated and uninitiated has found its way into the halls of wealth and power. To be fair, it was probably always there to some extent, but many find that their privilege releases them from the obligation of courtesy rather than holds them to it. High-minded salons have be replaced by stinking sit-ins where discourse is replaced by looting and property offence. Well-conceived and drafted editorials become profane and poorly researched blog posts which spew diatribe unworthy of the public space. Fine tailoring and shoe polish are far rarer in an airplane cabin than cargo shorts and toe fungus displayed via flip flop. While the current ethos of American culture might cry out in opposition, some of us are willing to say that our nation has become too comfortable. We eat our food from paper bags while driving on the street. We talk to each other like sailors on shore leave. And, we share family secrets with strangers as we shout into our phones in the line at
Starbucks. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is quoted as saying, “Good manners can open doors that the best education cannot.” He may have a point. Simple polite, direct conversation carries one through all manner of hardship. Learning that our own ease is not the ultimate objective helps us develop self-restraint and patience. Polite interactions are not a silly veneer wrapping our society as a relic of the Victorian era. Manners expose and develop a person’s character. Please. Thank you. You are welcome. A firm and sincere handshake. Mr. and Mrs., it is good to meet you. Somehow, we’ve confused being rude for forthright, sloppy for comfortable, and dismissive for discerning. Polite company matters, and our move from it benefits no one. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
– Leo Tolstoy
Mary Ellen and I were at the opticians picking out a new pair of glasses for me that were a bit pricey. And our beagle humor chews anything he can get his jaws on. I decided to share this problem with the salesperson. “You know, these are very nice, but I’m afraid Toby might chew them. Toby is…” With that, my wife burst into laughter. “That’s very funny,” she said. “What’s funny?” “Well, you were about to say ‘Toby is our son.’ Very humorous, and you allowed just enough pause to make the joke work.” “Wait a second, how did you know I was going to say that?” “You were, weren’t you?” “Okay, I was – but I should have had the fun of saying it myself.” Then, later that week, we attended a church service. Afterwards, one of the members of the congregation invited us to their home for dinner. “That’s so nice of you, Noelle,” said my wife. “Yes,” said Noelle, “we really would love to have you guys over. But I have to ask: are either of you allergic to cats?” My wife whispered in my ear, “Very funny.” “What is?” I whispered back. “Aren’t you going to say ‘No, we’re not, but we’d prefer beef or chicken?’ That would be very clever. A little gross, but still clever. B+.” Honestly, I wish I had thought of saying that. And I am starting to get worried. I’m supposed to be the witty one in this marriage. Not only that: Mary Ellen is starting to give my ad libs a grade. The other day, Mary Ellen was on her way to the dentist. As I walked over to the door to kiss her goodbye, she said to me, “I am not really looking forward to this.” Then before I could say anything, she said: “That is not amusing.” “What’s not?” “After I said I was dreading this, you were going to say, ‘Well, then let’s just make it a friendly hug.’ You were shifting the frame of reference between my going to the dentist and kissing you, giving the listener – in this case me – a temporary incongruity to solve. Good in theory, but totally predictable. B minus.” Not only is she anticipating my jokes and grading them, but she is analyzing them, too. I told her how depressed this all made me – the fact she is more clever than I am.

Laborious resolution Commentary by Danielle Wilson Last week I left you with a cliffhanger … my youngest sister, in labor with her first baby, had just chucked a Dammit Doll at the flat screen. Here’s the drama-infused concluhumor sion, for your reading pleasure. After the doll “incident,” we headed to the hospital in downtown Chicago. She was triaged and scheduled for admittance. An hour later, still waiting for her to be moved to the labor/delivery floor, my mom and I received word that the doctors had changed shifts and the new one had overruled the admittance. Prego was headed back home. Of course Doctor No. 2 soon acquired a very unflattering nickname which I cannot repeat here, but which did make us all feel a tad bit better. After a good cry and a few choice words, Prego decided she was starving, so we drove to the nearest diner. Sometimes fries and a milkshake are the only answers. Back home, we all tried to rest, but because I was relegated to the couch in the sunny living room, sleep eluded me. I bounced back and forth between episodes of “Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team” and “Jerry Maguire.” Heaven! At one, another sister arrived, and together we forced Prego out of the house. We spent the afternoon hoofing around her neighborhood, hitting antique shops, toy stores and a very glamorous grocery store with two martini bars and a
jazz quartet right there in produce. By dinner, Prego wasn’t smiling anymore. The tears re-appeared at nine, as pain and fatigue joined forces to smite Prego’s attitude. She felt certain she should return to the hospital but was terrified they would send her home again. My other sister, a litigator by day, made it quite clear that as long as she was around, there’d be no such nonsense. Not on her watch! Are we clear? ARE WE CLEAR!? So at midnight, with Prego at six centimeters and an epidural SWAT team on standby, we excitedly awaited the birth. By 2:30 a.m. however, there’d been no progress, and No. 2 banned us from the room. Party over. The daddy-to-be texted a short while later that the baby was in distress and that Doctor No. 2, whose nickname we’d quietly repealed, had ordered an emergency C-section. No worries! This baby story has a happy ending. My sister and new nephew are doing great, and the Dammit Doll is resting easy knowing no further abuse will come to her. At least not until this parenting gig gets real, that is! Peace out.

Two Beef & Boards favorites will star in this tale of mismatched roomates, with Jeff Stockberger as the easygoing Oscar Madison and Eddie Curry as the uptight Felix Ungar, who moves in with Oscar after his marriage falls apart. Opening on Dec. 27, the show is on stage through Feb. 8. Starting Feb. 12, Beef & Boards is filled with all things Gershwin as it presents the all-American musical “Crazy For You.” Winner of three Tony Awards and based on the 1930 musical “Girl Crazy,” the story centers around Bobby Child, who is sent to Nevada to foreclose on a theatre. But when he falls in love with the local postmistress, he devises a plan to save the theatre. Songs include “I’ve Got Rhythm,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me.” Performances run through April 4. A parody of American musical comedy of the 1920s, “The Drowsy Chaperone” makes its Beef & Boards debut on April 9. The show won five Tony Awards in 2006, including best original score. A middle-aged musical theatre buff plays the record of his favorite musical and the show comes to life – with two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, gangsters posing as pastry chefs, and an intoxicated chaperone. The imaginations of the young and young at heart will soar to Neverland starting May 14 with Peter Pan. Fly with Peter and his friends in this musical adaptation of the play by Sir James M. Barrie to a land of mischievous fairies, an Indian tribe, a ticking crocodile, bungling pirates and the famous Captain Hook, played by Jeff Stockberger. This production features $10 discounts off tickets for all kids ages 3-15. The lovable – and imperfect – Singing Sanders Family returns for the summer in “Smoke on the

Mountain: Homecoming”, the third installment of the comedy series. Opening July 8 and on stage through Aug. 16, the story takes place in 1945 – seven years since the Sanders Family first came to Mount Pleasant Baptist Church for a Saturday Night Sing. The Rodgers & Hammerstein favorite, “South Pacific,” opens Aug. 20 and runs through Oct. 4. Set in an island paradise, two parallel love stories are threatened by the dangers of predjudice and World War II. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a French plantation owner, Emile, but is conflicted by what she learns about him. And a strapping lieutenant falls for an island girl, but battles his own fears and prejudices. “South Pacific” won 10 Tony Awards, including best musical and best score for songs
that include “Some Enchanted Evening,” “Nothing Like a Dame” and “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair.” On stage for the first time at Beef & Boards and just in time for the spooky Halloween season is “The Addams Family,” which opens Oct. 8. This Tony Award-nominated macabre musical comedy is based on the cartoon characters created by Charles Addams, who also inspired the television show that first aired in 1964. The holiday season is celebrated with the theatre’s original production, A Beef & Boards Christmas, opening Nov. 27 and featuring beautiful costumes, heartwarming songs, dazzling dancing and even Santa himself. Also returning in 2015 is Beef & Boards’ one-hour adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, “A Christmas Carol.”

For the past three years, Noblesville Main Street has hosted its annual Firefighters Chili Cook-off during the SatPhilanthropy urday farmers market in October. This year, the event will be held on Sept. 11 as a special reminder and appreciation for the city’s first responders. “We’re working in collaboration with fire departments in Hamilton County to raise funds and awareness to the work done daily,” NMS Executive Director Chris Owens said. Owens creates the change to Thursday night produce market master Darren Peterson. “Darren does a great job coming up with unique programming to support Noblesville,” he said. “I think it just makes sense to support this great cause. Hopefully it will bring in people from across the county.” The Noblesville Main Street Thursday Market is 5 to 8 p.m. in the urban park on the south side of Conner Street between Eighth and Ninth streets. As part of the competition, local fire stations will be using ingredients from the market. Owens said visitors can sample chili from various firefighting chefs and then vote for their favorites by making cash donations to the team’s boot. The team with the most cash in the boot wins bragging rights until the next chili contest. All donations will go to the Hamilton County

Fallen Firefighters Memorial. A section of the World Trade Center, which will be installed in the memorial, along with firefighting apparatus and details about the fallen firefighters project will be on display at the Thursday Market. Local 4416 President Tony Murray said the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighters Memorial is scheduled for installation in the next two years behind the Hamilton County Judicial Center. The park-like setting of the memorial is designed by Hittle Landscaping and includes a sculpture of a grieving firefighter by Arizona sculptor Nicholas Wilson. “We want to create and include a memorial for Sept. 11. It’s such a profound event in our country’s history. We pause each year to remember,” Murray said. “We must never forget our members who gave their lives.”

Chita Rivera makes a comeback
By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com
She first captured America’s attention by creating the peppery Anita – with swirling skirts and attitude to spare – in “West Side theatre Story” more than a half-century ago. Chita Rivera has epitomized pizazz ever since, and has a couple of Tony Awards as well as the 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom to confirm her special qualities as an entertainer. Now Actors Theatre of Indiana is bringing her to Carmel in the one-woman show that debuted in New York to celebrate her 80th birthday last year. Her current national tour of “Chita: A National Celebration” reacquaints audiences with the stamp she put on such shows as “West Side Story,” “Sweet Charity,” “Chicago,” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” Born in Washington, D.C., to a musician and a government worker, Rivera started moving toward her triple-threat stature as an entertainer as an 11-year-old ballet student. Her success led to a scholarship to the American School of Ballet, headed by George Balanchine. Rivera’s student move to New York positioned her to win the audition for the role of the heroine Maria’s best friend, Anita. They are the principal female figures on the Puerto Rican side of the show’s tragic rivalry between two street gangs. The conflict and its outcome are based loosely on Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy, “Romeo and Juliet.”

Anita’s show-stopping number celebrating her community’s advantages in its new homeland, “America,” was the vehicle for establishing the young star’s rise. She repeated her 1957 triumph in the role in London, then went on to be featured in a host of other Broadway productions. Two of them – “The Rink” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman” – brought her two Tony Awards. Among Rivera’s recent productions on Broadway are “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” and “The Dancer’s Life” – the latter a Terence McNally work written in her honor. This summer she recreated for the Williamstown Theatre Festival her starring role in “The Visit,” a much-reworked Kander-and-Ebb musical version of Friedrich Durrenmatt’s play about revenge and greed in a small European town. She was cited for her career achievements with a Kennedy Center Honor in 2002, becoming the first female Hispanic recipient of the award. Among Rivera’s accomplishments away from the stage was running a New York City restaurant named for her between 1988 and 1994.

The Ten Commandments of tailgating Tailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley (Here are the first five commandments; the rest will follow next week.) I. Thou shall plan ahead Nothing is worse than a hap hazard tailgate party. You need to coordinate with others to settle on menu items and the assignment thereof. It’s also important to decide who brings what equipment. A four-person tailgate doesn’t need two heavy-duty grills and eight folding chairs. II. Thou shall arrive early and not rush Tailgating is a relaxed time for friends to eat, drink and socialize. You are back on campus or at a professional stadium for the day. Enjoy yourself like a grown-up. Don’t cause stress by having to rush in the setting-up of your equipment. Even more important (for food safety, see Commandment 9), don’t rush your food preparation. III. Thou shall not diet Nothing ruins the fun at a tailgate party more than a vocal self-appointed judge of cholesterol, calories, triglycerides and anything else that can be brought to attention as you take the second bite of some scrumptious food. Sure we all have to watch what we eat, but many medical people say that you can eat most anything in moderation. So, even the most sinful deserts are allowed if one doesn’t overdo things. The food at a tailgate party should be similar to foods you’d serve on your patio or deck when you have guests over for a cookout. IV. Thou shall display your colors Your tailgate party should be a festive tasteful expression of school and or team spirit. If you would decorate your yard for a Fourth of July cookout, shouldn’t you do the same for a tailgate party at your stadium? Show your colors. You can buy flags and banners to fly over your tailgate and clothes that are in school/team colors with the latest super graphics and logos. V. Thou shall not be boorish If you would have guests to your house or were to visit the home of a friend, there would be a certain accepted cordial behavior. The same cordiality should be present at your tailgate site. Be kind to visitors from the other school/teams. Thank them for coming and offer them a drink.

Q: My mother and aunt both have macular degeneration. Am I likely to get it also? - Jan S., Noblesville A: Age-related macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness in the adult population. It has two forms: Dry, or atrophic (90 percent), and wet, or exudative (10 percent). Heredity is one risk factor, but others include age, gender, ethnicity, UV exposure, smoking, diet and nutrition and heart disease. Obviously, some of these factors we can control while some we cannot. I do recommend patients eat a diet that includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially dark-green leafy ones like spinach, as well as take a daily vitamin/mineral supplement that includes lutein. It is also advisable to not smoke and to avoid secondhand smoke. One very important thing to note: I have several patients with mild-to-moderate dry macular degeneration who have no symptoms. They are correctable to 20/20 vision and would never know they have the disease if not for a comprehensive eye examination. Once signs are

detected in the eye, we are now able to run DNA testing to establish how much and what type of genetic link a patient may have to the disease.

Active managers aren’t conventional Commentary by Adam Cmejla If you are a disciple of “active management” in the investment world, then you are a strong believer in the notion that gifted finance and talented fund managers can identify stocks that will rise in price and turn away from those that will decline in value. In theory, they can identify – before anyone else and before any market decline – when it’s the best time to get in and out of the market. Ergo, their mission is to “beat the market.” Their expertise, skills, and goal to outperform is used to justify their (usual) higher costs and turnover (thus potentially higher tax consequences) as compared to traditional “indexing” or other, more evidence-based investment philosophies. The data, however, speaks otherwise. Standard & Poor’s released its year-end 2013 “S&P Indices Versus Active Funds Scorecard” that compares the performance of actively managed mutual funds to their S&P benchmark indices. For the five years that ended on Dec. 31, 73 percent of large-cap domestic funds, 78 percent midcap funds, 67 percent, and 80 percent REIT funds underperformed their benchmark indices. Almost two thirds actively managed domestic

stock mutual funds underperformed the S&P 1500 total stock market over the past five years. (For the complete study, check out my tweeted link @acmejla). I prefer to call “actively managed” the conventional approach to investing. There are four themes that I derive from conventional investing. First, it relies on predictions about an individual stock or investment and how it is going to perform in the future. Not only that, but you’re in essence betting that you know more about where that stock is going to go than the collective knowledge of the entire market! Think about it: if you were right, and everyone else agreed with you, then the price would already be what you thought it was going to be. Simple economics.

Grammar mix-up in the key of ‘D’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer
Do you know the difference between “discreet” and “discrete?” What about “defuse” and “diffuse?” “Dual” and grammar Guy “duel?” Hopefully after today, the answer to all three questions will be a resounding, “Yes!” Let’s start with last things first today and talk about “dual” and “duel” – two words I see mixedup on a regular basis. Now, I think you know this: “Dual” means having two parts, while “duel” means a fight or contest between two people. Why do people mix them up? I’m not sure, but people apparently can’t tell the difference between Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg too. (Marky Mark led the Funky Bunch! Come on guys!) Our other two mix-ups make more sense to me. Let’s talk about “discreet” and “discrete” first. Someone who is “discreet” is careful not to attract attention. You might discreetly slip a Val-
entine’s Card into your high school crush’s locker (or text them anonymously … I’m not sure what the kids do these days). “Discrete,” on the other hand, means “individually separate and distinct.” With “defuse” and “diffuse,” I see how some confusion could occur. “Defuse” literally means to remove a fuse from an explosive, but is figuratively used to mean reducing the danger or tension from a situation. “Diffuse” means to spread out or disperse. Based on those definitions, you might think “diffusing the hostility in a room” would be an appropriate use of “diffuse,” but it’s not. When you use “diffuse,” think of particles, like a cloud of dust diffusing into the air. Look at that: Six definitions in 300 words or less. Can’t beat the bang for the buck on that, huh?

Stretch your design time
Commentary by Vicky Earley
Once you have made the decision to pull your home together with the help of a design professional, it is time to do some decorating homework. You can glean far more from your designer’s visits if you have done some easy prep work in advance. Determine your budget This information is critical to your designer in that it determines what sources can be utilized. To show you something way beyond the scope of your budget is frustrating and a waste of time while proposing something that is way below your expectations will be a huge disappointment. What is your style? You may not have a name for it but you can probably recognize a room that takes your breath away in a photograph. Hang on to those pictures as those files of rooms and furnishings that “wow” you are a jump start for your design project! What has to stay and what can go? Be realistic here. Please don’t tell your designer that everything can go when, in reality, your husband, is attached at the hip to his leather recliner and secretly, your heart would be broken if grandma’s rocker were removed. How long do you plan on living in your home? If you are planning to reside in your home for many years to come, the design result will improve the quality of your life and will be an investment towards the point when you do place your home market. If, however, you plan to move again in a few years, choose design materials that will have wide appeal for home sale profitability without sacrificing design personality. What are the functions for your new space? Your decorator will want to know how you

plan to utilize your new space and how you live. Flooring options, for example, are recommended according to how your space will function. Some carpet fibers are more durable than others and will wear better over time. Will your new room function as a dual space such as a home office and guest room? It is a good idea to mention to your designer any potential changes that you anticipate for your future such as kids and pets. Any organizing issues? One thing that we ask of clients is to avoid picking up before a first visit. Your designer can develop creative solutions. If you need space for a particular function, perhaps to pay bills or deal with mail, your decorator can make allowances for this in the design. Decorating a single room or an entire home can be an overwhelming while coupled with feelings of delight and excitement. With a bit of forethought about your project, you can achieve more of your design professional’s time and expertise.

Howard Clark "Pete" Peterson, 84, of Indianapolis, passed on to be with his Lord, and dear family and friends who have gone before him, on August 29 after a lengthy illness. Pete was born September 6, 1929 in Janesville, Wisconsin to Peter Peterson and Mabel Marguerite (Rice) Peterson. He graduated from Janesville High School in 1948. Pete developed an entrepreneurial spirit at an early age. He applied his childhood experience peddling asparagus and apples from his family's farm in Janesville to becoming a success in the Indianapolis business arena. Pete lost his mother at a young age, and he credits caring and supportive teachers and a high school program called "Work Experience" with ultimately putting him on the path to success. By working outside of school, he earned high school credits and gained valuable skills. During the Work Experience program, Pete took a job with a company making concrete blocks. He learned to build basements and farm buildings while developing the social skills necessary for working with building contractors and owners. That experience would prove to be invaluable. In 1949, Pete came to Indianapolis, met a builder in a subdivision, and at age 19, offered his services, quickly hiring a crew and beginning a career as a masonry contractor. That same year, he married his high school sweetheart, Lori, with whom he eventually had five children. In 1966, Pete began buying land for what would become Castleton Commercial Park, completing the first building in 1968. By the time he sold the park in 1985, in the largest private real estate transaction in the state up to that point, it had grown to 50 buildings with 1.3 million square feet spread over 160 acres. While the family business continued to grow with new office parks, industrial parks, housing developments, and other businesses, Pete "retired" in 1985 to pursue new passions with the same superhuman energy he had brought to the real estate business. He developed Viking Meadows Farm, a full-scale breeding and training operation for standard-bred racehorses. His contributions to the horse business led to him twice being named "Indiana Horseman of the Year." He and Lori began spending half of each year in Sarasota, Florida, where he developed a love of deep sea fishing. He enjoyed many years of designing his next fishing boat and participating in the sport fishing circuit in the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic. He continued to lend his development experience to many local projects including Advent Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zionsville, Indiana. In 2002 he was named to Junior Achievement's Central Indiana Business Hall of Fame. Pete's transformative experience was his mid-life baptism at Pilgrim Lutheran Church on May 23, 1976. Through personal giving and the Peterson Family Foundation, Pete and Lori donated to numerous local and regional causes in support of disadvantaged youth, seminary students and health care facilities. Pete's desire to give back to the school where it all began for him led to the development of a foundation which, through the Southern Wisconsin Community Foundation, administers college scholarships each year to a graduating senior from Janesville and Craig High Schools who are pursuing their education in construction management and related fields. Pete called himself the "luckiest guy in the world" because he pursued his passions and inspired his children to do the same. He enjoyed spending time with his family, both at work and play. Pete is survived by his beloved wife of 64 years, Dolores Mable (Saxe) Peterson, children, Cheryl Stitt (Lawrence) of Noblesville, Timothy Peterson (Karen) of Carmel, Celeste Stiller (Michael) of Indianapolis, Bart Peterson (Amy) of Indianapolis, and Sandra Faust-Mesropian (Charles) of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, 16 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. He is pre-deceased by his parents, his brother Robert, and his first grandchild, Thomas Stitt. Friends and family will gather for visitation on Thursday, September 4 between 4:00 pm and 8:00 pm at Flanner and Buchanan-Carmel, 325 E. Carmel Drive, Carmel, IN 46032. Funeral services will be held on Friday, September 5 at 11:00 am at Advent Evangelical Lutheran Church, 11250 N. Michigan Road, Zionsville, IN 46077, with additional visitation at the church from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Gennesaret Free Clinics, 615 N.

Picture of Gandhi at Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Ashram. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Ahmedabad’s home of history Commentary by Don Knebel
Ahmedabad is the world’s third-fastest growing city. Despite needing residential land, the Indian government has reserved travel prime real estate along Ahmedabad’s central river as a memorial to the man Indians revere as the Father of the Nation. In 1915, after working 21 years in South Africa as a lawyer, Mohandas Gandhi came to Ahmedabad to employ his ideas of non-violent resistance in support of Indian independence. In 1917, he acquired 36 acres of wasteland along the west bank of the Sabarmati River and built an “ashram” on the previously snake-infested site. He and his followers lived together at the ashram seeking truth while practicing Gandhi’s ideals of discipline, chastity, religious tolerance, self-reliance and non-violence. One of Gandhi’s objectives was demonstrating that Indian people did not need to rely on the British, so he and his followers made their own cloth and grew their own food. In 1930, while living at the ashram, Gandhi organized a 241-mile march to the sea protesting the British salt tax. The event eventually led to the arrest of 60,000 people and galvanized the Indian public in support of independence. After the march, the British government
seized Gandhi’s ashram. India received its independence in August 1947. Five months later, before Gandhi could return to the ashram, he was assassinated by a Hindu nationalist who thought his teachings were too tolerant of Muslims. The government now maintains the tranquil, tree-filled grounds of the “Sabarmati Ashram” as a shrine to the person Indians now call “Mahatma,” the Great Soul. Some of Gandhi’s simple personal possessions are exhibited in the small house where he lived for 12 years with his wife, Kasturba. A museum houses his letters, writings and pictures and displays some of his most famous teachings, including, “If blood be shed, let it be our own” and “Forsake not truth, even unto death.” The museum also displays the folding spinning wheel that Gandhi encouraged Indians to use to reduce their dependence on British imports. The Sabarmati Ashram is Ahmedabad’s most popular destination. For admirers of Gandhi’s philosophy of tolerance and non-violence, it should be part of any trip to India.

Six factors that influence a dog when it gets loose
Commentary by John Mikesell
This is the beginning of the holiday season. Kids are going back to school and there is a lot of hustle and bustle. There is a travel chance your dog may be a little nervous or stressed out with everything that’s going on. You need to be extra careful or your pet may just slip out the door. Here are a few factors that influence a lost dog in case yours gets loose: Temperament of the dog. Friendly dogs are the most likely to walk up to the first person they see, be rescued and either returned to the owner, taken to a shelter or “adopted” by the finder. Aloof dogs are more likely to avoid strangers until they get hungry, and may travel a considerable distance before someone befriends them. Fearful dogs are likely to travel farther and actively avoid contact with humans, even when hunger calls. Sometimes the only way to capture
a fearful dog is with the use of a humane trap. Circumstances of the disappearance. A dog who wanders out of curiosity is likely to
stay close to home and wander back in fairly short order. One who bolts from fear can run for several miles in blind panic. Terrains. Wide, open spaces are more conducive to distance travel than residential neighborhoods, where fences create barriers to travel. Appearance of the dog. “Warm fuzzy” dogs are quicker to be rescued than large, aggressiveappearing dogs. Someone who may quickly stop to pick up a Cocker Spaniel or a furry Labradoodle may think twice before inviting a roaming Rottweiler into her car. Purebred dogs may also be picked up more quickly – as people sometimes mistakenly thinks it’s normal for mixed breeds to be roaming the streets but a purebred dog “must belong to someone.” Weather. A dog in a blizzard or a driving rainstorm is likely to seek shelter. A dog wandering in 95-degree heat will seek a cool spot and settle down. A dog on a sunny autumn day may happily chase deer and wander farther than one inhib-
ited by bad weather conditions. Population densities. It’s just common sense that more people there are around, the more likely it is that your dog will be seen and reported to you, or rescued by someone who calls you or the local shelter. If you lose your dog in a wilderness area and she has wide open spaces in which to travel far, and is relying on only you to find her. What you can do? Make sure you have several forms of identification solidly attached to your dog or cat. We strongly recommend using implanted microchip ids, too. Put your dogs name on their id so they can be as comfortable as possible, with their finder. John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at izzy@izzysplacecarmel. com

Space with capacity and more Commentary by Randy Sorrell
3rd Annual • HeartReach
Some outdoor living spaces have more capacity than others. Capacity to drive future spaces and how they are imagined, indoors designed and lived in. The attention to detail on this deck, stone columns, exposed aggregate path slabs and especially the pergola, is stately and punctuated. This is space has that capacity, and more. As is often the case, shade was a dependable part of the conversation, as was craftsmanship, color, drama and viewpoints. The overhead pergola is like none we have created and completely driven by Mr. Grisham’s brilliant design. The tapered corner columns that effortlessly “grow” from the natural stone pillars have a distinct craftsman style echoed from the interior of the exquisitely detailed home. Doubled 2”×12” manufactured beams were required to confidently span the distance between columns and carry the beautifully rugged 4”×8” overhead lumber. The beams were subsequently wrapped with cedar producing massive 6”×14” stately beams. For shade, additional 4”×4” units were layered on top which choreograph into
perfect squares, boxed overhead. Simple beveled end details were anything but simple to produce and again repeated home details. The framed lake views are magnificent and championed with recessed lighting, prompting the entire space to glow at night. It is an outdoor room. A Green Egg and separate grill are employed often and the new patio furniture, cushions and wall art were carefully planned – and the details show! Mrs. Grisham said, “We love the additional living space provided by our new deck and pergola. The hardscape complements the style of the house, which together with the new landscape beds, provide a vibrant and functional access to the deck.” Every outdoor living space offers a story and has the capacity to change how you live, entertain and how you enjoy the outdoors. What story does your space tell? Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm.

Center of it all: The kitchen island Commentary by David Decker The modern kitchen fulfills many different roles. It’s a family gathering place, a house party hotspot, a homework help center, indoors a storage headquarters and a five-star restaurant. For many homeowners, the functionality of a kitchen begins with a well-designed island. Islands are ideal for a variety of kitchen tasks including cooking, baking, cleanup, storage, informal dining, entertaining party guests and more. And because they can be accessed from multiple sides and heights, it’s much easier to gather around the kitchen island than the kitchen table. There are many ways to design a functional kitchen island, but let’s take a look at a few of the must-have features. First, you’ll want to decide what you are going to use the island for most frequently, and use those functions to devise your design and storage plan. For example, if you would like to use the island as a food prep station, include outlets for small appliances, a prep sink and storage for cooking utensils such as cutting boards, knives and mixing bowls. Or if you are using the island as a dining area, make sure the countertop height is designed to fit standard chairs or stools. The island should be crafted to fit your utilitarian needs. Because most islands require quite a bit of space, it’s important to strategically plan your design. You may want to select a moveable island instead of a built-in, station-

ary one. Be sure to select an island size and style that won’t overwhelm your kitchen. If you choose to include seating with your island, you’ll want to pick chairs or stools that don’t get in the way of the workflow. Otherwise, your kitchen may become difficult to navigate. You’ll also want an effective cabinetry design. Creating more built-in storage means your island will appear more spacious, inviting and tidy. Within your cabinetry, try installing lazy susans, pullout shelves, or deep drawers to maximize the space. You can even install appliance garages to store toasters, mixers, juicers and more, so that they are out of sight when not in use. There are
even cabinetry designs that feature built-in spice racks, trashcans or utensil organizers, so you can use every last inch of available space. The key to creating a savvy kitchen island is planning. Use every square inch effectively and you’ll be surprised at how your kitchen space can be transformed.
