One month after voting down plans for a new public safety training facility, the Hamilton County Council on Sept. 2 shut PUBLIC SAFETY down the majority-proposed resolution to fund a burn tower for county fire departments after no vote was taken. At its Aug. 5 meeting, the council left a room full of cops, firefighters and other public safety officers, who were in support of the training facility, disappointed after denying the one-time $3 million investment request. The facility would have been on land donated by the City of Westfield at 161st Street and River Road in Noblesville. Councils in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield all signed resolutions agreeing to put forth $40,000 each annually to build on the land. That night, the council voted 4-3 against the facility, with councilors Jim Belden, Amy Massillamany and Steve Schwartz vying for Council President Paul Ayers’ vote in favor of the facility, against councilors Brad Beaver, Fred Glynn and Rick McKinney, with no luck. After that vote, the foursome said they would support funding $568,000 for the burn tower, a

key component in initial training facility plans. The plan for the burn tower came across the desks of councilors again at the Sept. 2 meeting. The money would have come out of the council’s rainy day fund, which currently holds more than $20 million. Councilor Glynn said the council did not put the fire tower up for a full vote after the Hamilton County Public Safety Board said they would need to reexamine the scope of the project. In the letter, Hamilton County Public Safety Board Chairman George Kehl said, “How an 81 percent decrease in the overall scope affects the cost of completing the [burn] tower has yet to be determined. Accepting the $568,000 proposal without knowing the true cost to complete the project would be irresponsible ‌ the Public Safety Training Center proposal identifies there is approximately $200,000+ in infrastructure improvements required to complete the original $3 million dollar project. Carving out $568,000 for the multipurpose burn tower eliminates economies of scale for infrastructure improvements under the scope of the original $3 million dollar proposal. This would include, but not be limited to, earthwork, utilities, parking areas, roadways, etc. it is important to understand that these costs are now unknown as they apply to the multipurpose burn tower.â€?

Amigos de Westfield a success

Backyard Bash

By Nile Whent “ ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]fTbcUXT[S R^\ On Sept. 5, the first Amigos de Westfield was held in Asa Bales Park. “Westfield welcomes everyCULTURE body, we have a large Latino population and Amigos de Westfield is just another way to [celebrate diversity],â€? Melody Jones, Westfield Parks and Recreation Department director, said. For three hours, the park transformed into a tasty international experience for residents. The live music from various Latin singing groups and the aroma of authentic food from Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico and Venezuela overwhelmed the park. There were also children’s activities from face painting to piĂąatas. Westfield resident Phil Daubenmiri came with his wife and children to experience Latino culture. “You don’t know what to expect, but [Amigos de Westfield] had a real positive turnout,â€? he said. Daubenmiri said his family enjoyed traditional Venezuelan food. The cultural extravaganza emotionally impacted some of the attendees. Such as Angelina Zunega, a native of Guerrero, Mexico. For

Zunega it was hard to hold back tears as she listened to the sound of the acoustic instrumentals. “I am so far away from my country but this event brings back so many memories,� said Zunega, who left Guerrero 10 years ago. The highlight of event was when the mariachi band asked the attendees to form a dance circle. The band played traditional songs like “Mariachi Loco� and “La Bamaba.� Translators for the event like Felipe Ortiz said the celebration is significant for Westfield because, “The city gets to know more about the Latino culture which makes for better communication, so that we help each other mutually to make Westfield great.�

Schools discuss grants, contracts By Anna Skinner P]]P/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ The Westfield Washington School Board met Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. The next meeting will be held on Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Administration Center, 322 Main St., Westfield. What happened: The Shamrock Springs Easement Agreement was again presented after being postponed at last month’s meeting. Why it matters: The drainage proposal and emergency access path for the Shamrock Springs Easement Agreement was reworded and reintroduced to the board. The board approved the easement agreement as long as the pond did not exceeded two acres. What happened: The previous action to the master contract was reintroduced to the board and approved. Why it matters: From now on, the employee relations board will review all contracts to make sure they follow Indiana code and meet all requirements.

What happened: The graduation date for the high school was changed from June 3 to June 2 at 7 p.m. Why it matters: There were some conflicts regarding students involved and sports and participating in games and meets on that Friday and Saturday. Likewise, many graduation parties are held on Sundays and there has never been a graduation ceremony on a Sunday, therefore being moved to June 2. Supt. Mark Keen said they want to approve the changes now, so families can make plans to attend accordingly. What happened: The Title III grant and a grant for non-English speaking programs were approved. Why it matters: The grant for Title III was approved for $39,064 and the nonEnglish programs grant was approved for $35,547. Most of the grant money for the non-English programs goes toward salaries and benefits for the staff. What happened: The disposal of obsolete equipment was approved. Why it matters: After the summer updates, some technological equipment was beyond repair. The schools try to recycle all that they can, but when unable to, they dispose of accordingly. What happened: The board approved the WYSI Travel Baseball and Cub Scout Pack 129 to use the school facilities. Why it matters: The Cub Scouts will use Oak Trace Elementary as a location for their pine wood derby competition and the travel baseball program will hold an organizational meeting at the high school.

APC talks gateway, retail development

By Sadie Hunter “ bPSXT/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\

The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission, at its meeting on Sept. 8, discussed major development in the city in the form of rezoning and amendment’s the city’s comprehensive plan. The commission’s next meeting will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 21 at City Hall, 130 Penn St. What happened: The commission approved a requested amendment by Kroger to the Spring Mill Station Northeast Quadrant PUD District and a request for development plan review at 161st Street and Spring Mill Road. Why it matters: The amendment will allow the newly-renovated Kroger store to incorporate an additional 0.589 acres on the north side of the store, just south of Straughn Lane, to accommodate curbside pickup for online grocery orders. The request for development plan review will potentially incorporate a canopy over the curbside pickup area. What happened: The commission held a public hearing for a request from KRG Bridgewater LLC and developer American Structurepoint for a development plan and primary plat review of two commercial lots on the northwest corner of Gray Road and 146th Street. Why it matters: The development would be known as Bridgwater Pointe Shoppes. On 7.6 acres, the 14,400-square-foot retail building will have very similar architecture of similar developments nearby and would include restaurants and retail shops. A proposed seating area would feature a gazebo on the pond and would serve as an amenity for pedestrians.

DESIGN & REMODELING SEMINAR

What happened: The commission gave a favorable recommendation on a request by EdgeRock Development’s request for a change in zoning of 13.75 acres on the east side of Oak Ridge Road, just south of Ind. 32. Why it matters: The change in zoning serves as the first step in EdgeRock Development’s plans to build an apartment complex on the land. Birch Dalton, of EdgeRock, said the complex would focus on studio, one-bedroom and small two-bedroom apartments for young entrepreneurs and “empty nestersâ€?. The land serves as an intersection of two trails, the Midland Trace and the Monon. What happened: The commission approved an amendment requested by the City of Westfield to incorporate additional real estate, approximately five acres, into the district. Why it matters: The incorporation of the land into the Grand Park Indoor Sports and Recreation Facility district is the first step taken in the city’s plans to build a hotel or lodging nearby the facility, just south of 191st Street and directly west of the indoor facility. What happened: The commission heard an amendment request by the City of Westfield to the Westfield-Washington Township comprehensive plan to incorporate design policies for the city’s gateway sub-district, or the four corners of the U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 intersection. Why it matters: The city and Grand Junction task group agree the proper development of this land is vital to serve as a “dynamic and vibrant front door of Westfield.â€? With the Gateway Southwest development underway on one corner, Kevin Todd, senior planner for the city and petitioner for the request, said the amendment encourages larger and taller buildings to serve as landmarks. The amendment also designates more technical terms like building materials. Todd said, “As part of the downtown area, it is important that the gateway area is walkable and friendly to pedestrians‌with safe, well-connected and easily maneuverable public walkways.â€?

Students experience cultural summer involvements

Commentary by Ken Kingshill

As last school year concluded, a pair of fourth grade teachers at Monon Trail Elementary School had a vision for enriching summer experiences for some of their students. ROTARY For Jamie Boxler and Denise Hanlin, their goal was to give the students opportunities to engage in cultural events that 9 and 10-year-olds typically haven’t experienced ‌ to incorporate a service project into the activities in order to give back to our Westfield community. They knew that their “dreamâ€? experiences could easily become very expensive and they had no funding. In stepped the Westfield Rotary Club. Not only did the club agree to sponsor the outings, including bus transportation, admissions costs and meals, but members also served as chaperones. With the cost barrier out of the way, the excursions were set. The teachers led three outings over the summer months,

with twenty-two children participating in a least one outing. At the first event, students were mesmerized by the performance of Alice in Wonderland Junior at the Booth Tarkington Theater in Carmel and dined at Matt the Miller’s afterwards.

The second event was a trip to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. “Wow!� was a common expression as students learned about the shiny, innovative “Dream Cars� at the exhibit and explored the museum grounds. For the grand finale, students went to Cool Creek Park to learn about invasive plants, spruced up trails by pulling weeds, then went to a pottery shop and designed a tile capturing a favorite summer memory. At least three Rotary Club members accompanied the students on each of the trip, making great connections when sharing childhood stories, imparting knowledge, talking about their careers or listening to the students. Ken Kingshill is a member of the Westfield Rotary Club. He also serves on the Westfield Advisory Plan Commission and is the executive director of the Downtown Westfield Association.

WFD boots more than $13K over to MDA

By Sadie Hunter “ bPSXT/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\

Over Labor Day weekend, Westfield Fire Department firefighters hit the streets of the city for a good cause. Their annual “Filling the Boot� fundFUNDRAISER raiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association raises money for local families in Hamilton County who are fighting with muscle diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, muscular dystrophy and other diseases that deteriorate the ability to walk, move, make facial expressions, or even breathe. Taking over two of the busiest intersections of the city, firefighters took their boots to take donations from vehicles and pedestrians passing by at the Union Street and Ind. 32, and E. Greyhound Pass and Cool Creek Park Road on Sept. 4, 5 and 6, for three and a half hours each day. Firefighter Jason Maners said Labor Day weekend is a great time to hold the annual event. “These events are pretty regular around Labor Day, but now they’ve kind of opened it up to really any time during the summer,� he said. “We still kind of stick to (Labor Day) just because it’s a three-day weekend, and a lot of people are traveling.� Maners said 11 different firefighters gave their time to take part in the event each day. “We did pretty well our first day,� he said. “Last year we raised $8,000 total, and just (Sept. 3), we raised $3,500.� In the three days of work, Maners said the group of firefighters was able to raise $13,130 for MDA.

By Sadie Hunter “ bPSXT/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ After nearly a year of expansion, hiring and adding updated features to its store, Kroger employees at 161st Street and Spring Mill Road are ready to premiere COVER STORY their work. And they will during a grand opening at the store at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 17. Announced by the company in the fall of 2014, the store has worked through the winter and spring to add new departments and update existing ones, including features like online ordering and a fresh meals department that will serve as a place for people to gather or grab a quick meal. However, perhaps the most impressive expansion is that of the workforce. The Cincinnati-based company has said with the store’s expansion to nearly 82,000 square feet—more than double the original size—it will add approximately 180 full-time, part-time and seasonal jobs, at least 30 of which will be specifically designated to keep up with demand from online ordering. The new staff will mostly consist of Westfield residents. The store’s manager, Jill Ingrum, is a Westfield resident who has worked for Kroger for eight years, six years as a store manager. “Many people think of us as a big company,� said Kroger spokesperson John Elliott. “But, we have a local store in every local community.� The total economic development investment into the store was $12 million, and is part of a $465 million investment in central Indiana now and in the coming years. Other Hamilton County stores will see similar expansions and upgrades in the future, but for now, Carmel’s Kroger at 1217 Range Line Rd., is the only one that’s been completed and is the flagship store for central Indiana renovations.

Other changes in the store include complete integration of all-natural and organic foods into the main aisles, rather than having a separate section.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Positively honest

Commentary by Terry Anker

Sometimes the greatest wisdom comes from that which is the longest lived. Sixteenth century Priest, St. Vincent de Paul, described the nature of the stories we tell thusly: Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying. His fairly stark and binary contrast brings forward an interesting supposition. As we are increasingly identified by our persona online, how do we remain humble and still meet the expectations of the world-wide-web? Webinars, meetings and colloquia dedicated to putting our best electronic foot forward have become ubiquitous in our inboxes. We are told that social media is an imperative to success in business – and perhaps in life. Moreover, we must carefully curate our web presence to honestly portray ourselves – but do it in a way likely to put us in the MOST positive light. Some of us clearly take the messaging to an extreme. Photos slide from optimistic to intentionally deceitful. But, who determines what’s gone too far? As communities are redefined, our traditional methods of vetting affiliates are

proving inadequate. Where we formerly relied upon personal recommendations, we now turn to unknown and often unidentified web-writers to direct our decisionmaking. A lifetime of civic involvement and network building can be supplanted by an effective and well-designed web presence. Surely, it begins to equalize access. Yet, it also brings considerable peril. People can completely manufacture themselves on the web. Likewise, we can anonymously destroy the lives of those with whom we have some real or imagined beef. Do humility, truth, pride, and dishonesty assume completely different meanings in a digital age; or, do they carry the same standards applied in a much broader way? How do we manage to honestly advance our message above the noise of a medium which delivers lies and truth with equal speed and abundance?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ° FX]bc^] 2WdaRWX[[

Our friends Len and Helen invited us and some other church members to their house to play Bocce. Len read it was HUMOR a great sport for Unitarians. But it might have said septuagenarians—he wasn’t sure. A player tosses the pallino, a small ball, down the court and then teams compete to see who can throw additional balls, which are a bit larger, closest to the target ball. Simple enough, but soon a dispute arose when Myrna heaved the pallino onto the neighbor’s lawn and we didn’t know whose turn was next or how many points her team lost, and Martin wanted to know if we all stunk so much it was time to find another church activity. To avoid any future confusion, I bought a book called â€œThe Joy of Bocce.â€?  I already owned â€œThe Joy of Cookingâ€? and â€œThe Joy of Sex,â€? although both of them were put in storage before we started to remodel our kitchen. The author summarizes, “Some people think it’s just a game of throwing bigger balls at a smaller ball.â€? Then the rest of the book is about how to throw a big ball at a smaller ball. Mario wonders why bocce can’t get more TV coverage. (Maybe when this Donald Trump thing dies down.) Determining whose ball is closest to the pallino is exacting. “When the distances are smaller than your foot, use a pencil, pieces of twigs and even a car antenna.â€? Apparently, the idea of a tape measure never dawned on these people. Precise measurement is important. When you have eight solid wooden balls the size of grapefruits, unlimited beer and cranky old people, you want to avoid any potential conflict. There is also a chapter on Bocce etiquette, which includes not thinking too long over a shot, and maintaining emotional control. But my favorite is number three: DON’T WANDER OFF. Maybe that’s why Len keeps leaving me a voicemail message asking where I am.  ( For Dick’s complete column go to www. currentinwestfield.com)  Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist and speaker.

A true catastrophe Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Proudly Presents

You may recall that last week I was all chuckles after coming home and discovering that my husband Doo had HUMOR been the first responder on a rather messy plumbing issue. And you may have also guessed (and been correct) that I was exaggerating a hair when I declared said issue a “catastrophe.” Well, I’m not laughing now, nor is the word catastrophe sufficient to describe what actually transpired. It seems our beloved dogwood tree found a crack in the main sewage pipe and decided to extend her roots into all of its glorious, nutrient-rich cargo. This woody tangle along with paper products, red hair balls, and various other not-easily-degradable “items” eventually created a gloopy enough blockage to impress even the most seasoned heart surgeon. One flush of the main floor toilet was all it took to bring most of the contents back up, out onto our hardwood and carpeted floors, down the air vents and through the ceiling of our finished basement. Neither of us initially thought the damage was bad. In fact, we allowed our son to sleep two nights in his room despite the still-damp carpet and slightly-off odor. [Parents of the

year!] But once the remediation people came through, we learned we were being exposed to nothing short of nuclear radiation. “This is DEFCON One people! We need blowers, heaters, suction, and drains. Let’s move, let’s MOVE!” We’re looking at thousands of dollars in restoration, including new flooring and drywall, landscaping, and of course, an updated sewer line. I can’t step foot in the house right now without threading my way through rubberized venting mats, sinuous air hoses and obnoxiously loud industrial dryers. And despite having the AC set at 71, the constantly running motors keeps the air temperature over 85, leaving us all grumpy and a tad bit sleep-deprived. The good news? We have insurance, no one got hurt (or sick), and most importantly, it wasn’t my fault. [I’ve been known to leave the sink on for our cat and may have once caused a small flood.] The bad news? I’m not laughing anymore. Peace out.

Murder and hilarity ensue at the Belfry in ‘The Butler Did It’

By Navar Watson “ ]Tf/RdaaT]cX]fTbcUXT[S R^\

It’s your typical dark and stormy night. On a remote island off San Francisco Bay, wealthy socialite Miss Maple invites a THEATER group of detective writers to a lavish party at Ravenswood Manor, insisting that each come portraying their famed detective characters for the funfilled weekend. All goes well until suddenly a guest turns up dead and the detective writers try to act like, well, actual detectives. Tim Kelly’s “The Butler Did Itâ€? promises a “mixture of edge-of-the-seat [tension] and gut-wrenching laughs,â€? according to director Jeff Bick. The play runs eight times at the Belfry Theatre Sept. 18 – Oct. 4. “It’s one of those great plays where you have the big reveal at the end, but there are so many other things that surprise you throughout,â€? said Kelly BeDell, who plays the maid. “It just wets your appetite. ‌ It keeps you on your toes.â€? Bick said every character in the show is a caricature or tribute to a famous mystery character in mainstream media. Any murder mystery fan might recognize different personalities and plot points. Among the fictional detectives are a Sherlock Holmes-type; a priest based off Father Dowling; a “famous oriental detective;â€? Rick and Laura Carlyle, based of Nick and Nora Charles; a hard-bitten gumshoe; and a female James Bond. The audience soon finds out, however, that the writers pale in comparison to the wits of their famed creations. “Their creations are much better detectives than they are, and that is an understatement,â€? Bick said. “They’re nowhere near as smart as they think they are. ‌ That’s where the com-

edy is.� Though often played as a farce, the Belfry’s version of “The Butler Did It� will have a more realistic tone, intertwined with comedic elements. It’s a challenge, Bick said, to not let the actors cross over into farce. The challenge for the actors is playing characters with so many layers, actor Brenna Campbell said. “Everybody has a secret, and that’s something you find out within the first, maybe, 10 minutes of the play,� Campbell said. “[As an actor] you have to walk the balance with what you know as a character with what you don’t

want to give away.� “The Butler Did It� is a family-friendly show, Bick said. The Belfry is offering a special ticket on Saturdays that includes a three-course dinner and the show. Guests start their night at Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano in Noblesville and end it at the Belfry. Details are on the Belfry’s website. Bick hopes this show will help audiences see the quality of community theatre. “I’ve got a really, really good cast of actors and actresses, and they’re bringing a lot to the characters,� Bick said. “My goal is to let people see what kind of theatre we can do here.�

Celebration of Bands Sept. 18-19 By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ The Celebration of Bands will provide spectators with a wide variety of music and instruments highlighting different eras for the first time this year in Carmel. Charles Conrad, who organized the bands, said there will be a whole spectrum of musical styles. “We’ll have some classical music and definitely have some Broadway and Hollywood music, some British brass band and a Civil War band,â€? said Conrad, the Indiana Wind Symphony conductor. All the concerts on Sept. 18 and 19 are free. The Sept. 18 performances will be held in Arts & Design District while the Sept. 19 performances will start outside the Palladium at 2 p.m. and move inside the Palladium for Grand Finale Concert at 7:30. p.m. “We hope to fill up the Palladium (1,601 seats),â€? Conrad said. One of the unique performers will be the Eiger Alphorn Duo. The duo will perform with their 12-foot long wooden horns outside the Palladium at 3:45 p.m. and at 4:45 p.m. on Sept. 19. The alphorn is known mostly Switzerland and the Alpine regions of Europe. The duo performs on authentic instruments, complete with Tachten (authentic Swiss and German costumes). Peggy DeMers and Vicki Wheeler, the duo, will join the Indiana Wind

Symphony to perform “Concertino for Alphorns and Wind Symphonyâ€? by Gottfried Veit. Joining the Indiana Wind Symphony will be guest trumpet soloist Patrick Hession at 7 p.m. on Sept. 18. Hession also will perform a solo with the Middle School Honors Band at 5 p.m. on Sept. 19 and will be involved in the Grand Finale Concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m. inside the Palladium. “He’s a phenomenal trumpet player. He was Maynard Ferguson’s last lead player,â€? Conrad said.

Saxton’s Cornet Band, one of the top Civil War bands in the country, will play at 4 p.m. on Sept. 19 and then again during the Grand Finale. “They play authentic pieces you would have heard in the Civil War days,â€? Conrad said. “They were the very first ones I thought of because I wanted to make sure we had a Civil War band. They were absolutely my first choice.â€? The Middle School Honors Band will be paired with the Indianapolis New Horizons Band. “Most of the New Horizons band are seniors and most played instruments in high school,â€? Conrad said. “Once they retired they decided to form a band.â€? The Middle School Honors Band is made up of Carmel’s three middle schools and Hamilton Southeastern’s four middle schools. Hopkins and Miller’s Sunset Jazz Band will have the opening performance at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 18. Next up is Indy Winds Flute Choir, who will use a contrabass flute. “I’ve never even seen one, let alone heard one in a concertbased setting,â€? Conrad said. The Starry Knights Big Band will perform as the Swinging Sergeants in the first day’s final act at 8:30 p.m., performing World War II-era Big Band music.

Civil War recreation band on showcase at ‘Celebration’ By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Like any other starving college kid, David Goins was just looking for a gig. So the University of Kentucky student took one with the Saxton’s Cornet Band in 1992. “I fell in love with it,� said Goins, who has been a regular ever since. The Saxton’s Cornet Band, based in central Kentucky, travels everywhere to perform Civil War-era music in actual instruments from Goins the era. “We’re trying to promote this era of music,� said Goins, who serves in role of a general manager for the band. “We’re trying to prevent it from being lost.� Saxton’s Cornet Band is a modern recreation of a Civil War brass band that was started in the late 1850s in Lexington, Ky. Henry Saxton had a group of musicians through 1910. Goins, 43, said the modern band formed in 1989. “We played every type of historical event and music festival,� said Goins. whose group played several years at Conner Prairie. “We’ve played a presidential inauguration (George W. Bush in 2000), played overseas and been in

a few movies. We’re one of handful of people who can play the music and play them on original 1860s instruments.â€? Saxton’s Cornet Band will perform at 4 p.m. on Sept. 19 during the Celebration of Bands outside The Center for the Performing Arts and then will perform with the Indiana Wind Symphony inside the Palladium that evening during the Grand Finale concert. Goins serves as the solo E flat cornet performer. Goins, the musical director for First United Methodist Church in Frankfort, Ky., said they

play the music from the Library of Congress site so the music is exactly what you would have heard during the Civil War. “With the exception of the drums, all the instruments are 150 years old,â€? Goins said. Goins said the sound is a lot softer than what a brass band sounds like today. “We’ve come a long way with technology and we’ve made them where they are much more brilliant and they’re a lot louder,â€? Goins said. Goins said the group has about 20 mem-

bers with a different group attending each time. About 12 to 14 expected to play at the Carmel concerts. The band brings a narrator for its show. One of the highlights will be a world premiere of piece written by composer James Curnow, who will be on hand for the performance. The Indiana Wind Symphony will join the Saxton’s Cornet Band in the performance. Goins said it’s an 11-minute work that uses narration from diary entries from the Civil War. The piece is called “With Malice Towards None,â€? which is a quote from Abraham Lincoln’s second presidential inaugural address. “We’re excited. It’s going to be cool,â€? Goins said. “We’ve been working on it for four years. We’re trying to see what an authentic Civil War band sounds like within the texture of modern wind band. It’s going to sound like a movie score. We’re stepping outside our mission which is just playing music from the fouryear period to hopefully educate people and bridge the time gap.â€? They use saxhorns developed by Adolph Sax, who later invented the saxophone. “They were all the rage in the 19th century,â€? Goins said. “There is soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass and we have two drummers. So all the instruments are voiced just like a choir.â€?

Brainard: Celebration of Bands gives local economy boost By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ As a former high school French horn player and son of a band director, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard is an enthusiastic supporter of music. So, naturally, he didn’t have to be sold on putting the city’s support behind Celebrations of Bands in Carmel on Sept. 18 and 19. “Part of our economic development strategy with the Palladium was to bring groups to Carmel for children and youth contests, much like the International Violin competition in InBrainard dianapolis,â€? Brainard said. “Every instrument in an orchestra or band has a national contest, so where else but in center of the country with a beautiful concert hall, safe, clear area with good air connections. This is part of the strategy. We would like to see many more groups and organizations see the Palladium and our neat downtown as their home base.â€? The Sept. 18 performances will be in the downtown Arts & Design District. The Sept. 19 performances will held outside The Center for the Performing Arts and then the Grand Finale will be inside the Palladium. “Plenty of people will be spending money in our hotels and at our restaurants, other businesses,â€? said Brainard, who plans to attend both days of concerts. “It’s good economic development for Carmel plus it provides a great event for people here to enjoy. Hopefully, it has a major impact with large groups coming. It really helps our small business people out.â€? Brainard said it will be good for Carmel students to see the best in the country. “They can compare how they are doing vis-a-vis the best performers their age,â€? he said. Charles Conrad, who is coordinating the two-day event, said it was Brainard’s idea to put together a Middle School Honors Band because he wanted to get the students and schools involved. Brainard, a 1972 Elkhart (Ind.) High School (now Elkhart Central) graduate, loves the idea of music being a full-time passion. He said his father, Jack Brainard, who died in 2013 at age 85, directed New Horizon Seniors Band in his retirement. â€œHe would have people in their 70s start an instrument for the first time,â€? Brainard said. “Music is something you can do your entire life. You can build friendships. It’s a great thing for people

to do.� Jack directed Bristol High School band before it consolidated with Elkhart Schools. Jack then directed bands at two middle schools in the Elkhart school system. Brainard recalled meeting Conrad, a 1972 Indianapolis Arlington High School graduate, at band camp when they were 10 or 11 years old. Conrad is the Indiana Wind Symphony conductor. “(Celebration of Bands) was mostly my brainchild but I would say Jim Brainard had a lot to do with it,� Conrad said. “He’s obviously very committed to the arts. Particularly one of the facets of it we’re going to talk about music being a life-long pursuit whether you do it as a profession, whether you do it as hobby or whatever. We want to show extracurricular actives don’t have to be something that ends when you leave high school. At 77, you’re not going to play tackle football but you can play the saxophone. One of my all-time trumpet idols, Doc Severinsen just turned 88, and he’s still soloing with major symphonies around the country.�

Then you get down by taking a circular slide down. It’s kind of unique and you get a view of the pumpkin fields, wagons and all the crowds from up there.� Stoneycreek Farm is at 11366 State Road 38 East, Noblesville.

The series starts with Flamenco instruction on Sept. 30, followed by Compania Flamenca Jose Porcel’s show on Oct. 9 “You don’t have to come to the performance to take the class but of course it’s encouraged,â€? Shildmyer-Heighway said. “When we got the season (schedule), we looked for which shows would lend themselves to doing a lesson. We started researching to find the instructors that would work well with each.â€? The cost is $18 per participant. If a participant signs up for the series of six, one session is free.Â

Award winning ballet dancer, Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, will share the stories of Giselle and Cinderella in the Jan. 6 Ballet session. BdQ\XccTS _W^c^

These dense dark bars will thrill your tailgaters BdQ\XccTS _W^c^ Presented by

Saturday, Oct. 3

What do tailgaters want in a dessert? By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Whether it’s you brain center telling you that you have to have something sweet, or you are still hungry, almost every tailgater in the lot wants a dessert after a sandwich and side dish. If it were just the need for a sweet, we’d probably see a lot more candy bars at tailgate parties. Tailgate chefs seem to pride themselves in their desserts as much as they do their main course foods. Just look around and you’ll see cakes, cookies, pastries and even slices of pie. There is a physical problem, however, with most desserts at a tailgate party – they have to be easy to eat. They shouldn’t require a plate, forks or spoon. They shouldn’t make one’s hands so sticky that he or she is forced to look for a basin in which to wash. And still importantly – tailgate desserts have to taste good! So, if you want a dessert that is easy to eat, and something creative and delicious, you should serve bars. Here’s a great bar recipe for Marmalade Brownies by Marie Simmons, a former columnist for “Bon Appetite� and author of “Bar Cookies A to Z.� Marie and I exchanged ideas

6:30–9:30 p.m.

and books when “The Tailgater’s Handbook� first came out. These dense dark bars will thrill your tailgaters. Ingredients: 1/3 cup unsalted butter, 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup orange marmalade, 2 large eggs beaten, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, Pinch of salt Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a nine-inch square, baking pan. Melt butter and chocolate in a nonaluminum saucepan. Remove pan from the heat. Add the brown sugar and marmalade and beat with a wooden spoon until blended. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir. Now add the flour, walnuts and salt; stir to blend. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges began to pull away from the pan. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars. Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook� is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.� His web site is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

Riverview to host health fair By Sadie Hunter “ bPSXT/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Some of the most prevalent health issues often go unnoticed, not taken care of, or misunderstood. EVENT But on Oct. 3, Riverview Health can help, holding its health fair services, classes and more for the 30th year, from 8 a.m. to noon at its main campus, 395 Westfield Rd., in Noblesville. Riverview Health Marketing Coordinator Elizabeth Goers said the health organization has held its exclusive Riverview Health Fair for 29 years and once partnering with a different Goers community organization to offer the same services and education, marking three decades this year of community support. “As healthcare has been shifting more towards wellness and illness prevention, it’s important for people to have access to screenings, tests and information that will improve their health,â€? Goers said. “Offering services to our community at a free or reduced cost aligns with our mission to improve the health and wellbeing of those we serve, especially as healthcare costs continue to increase.â€? Guests of the fair will be able to learn about an array of health topics, ranging from cardio-

vascular health to fitness to sleep issues. Perhaps the most advantageous feature of the fair for guests is the offering of free and discounting screenings. This will include: “ Flu shots for $25 (Must be 3-years-old or older.) “ Free pap smears “ Free women’s health pre-screenings with a priority follow-up appointment “ Free sleep apnea screenings “ Free blood pressure screenings “ Free foot health screenings “ Free ankle-brachial index, or ABI, tests “ Riverview Helath Fair lab profile for $30: Includes a basic metabolic panel, lipid panel, A1c, ALT/AST and complete blood count with platelet count (fasting required) “ Various $20 tests, including TSH and PSA (males only) Breakout sessions and special programs will also be offered, including tours of the Riverview Health Maternity Center, healthy cooking demonstrations and the benefits of osteopathic manipulation.

Blueprint for Improvement: Retractable screens on porch Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS:

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS:

The goal was to achieve a functional, relaxing outdoor space for a busy family who loves to be outside. 1. A larger deck footprint was designed for a more functional space. 2. Roof line locations were carefully considered to allow unobstructed views, while blocking harsh sunlight. 3. Retractable screens were installed to provide a golf ball and insect barrier. 4. Maintenance-free Trex decking materials finished off the floor. 5. Amenities such as a television, high ceiling fan, and recessed lighting completed the inviting space.

The original decking forced the residents to provide constant maintenance. With no roof, the space was always exposed to harsh sunlight, insects, and the occasional stray golf ball. The biggest challenge was to keep the roof height high enough to not obstruct golf course views, and to not interfere with the great room windows.

18TH ANNUAL

On July 9, 2013, I wrote this about an ancient temple to Ba’al in Palmyra, Syria, which I visited in November 2010: “When TRAVEL the fighting is over and a trip to Syria becomes possible once more, Palmyra provides a wonderful opportunity to see what the Jewish Second Temple probably looked like before its destruction ‌â€? Sadly, my prediction has been proven false. ISIS, which captured Palmyra in May 2015, has obliterated Palmyra’s extraordinary temple. For persons living in Syria in the early first century, the most important god was Ba’al (or Bel), who was related to the god whose worship by the Israelites so vexed the Hebrew prophets. Palmyra’s temple to Ba’al was dedicated in 32 A.D., about the same time that Jesus was at the Temple in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. The two temple complexes were very similar. Each had a Roman-style courtyard surrounded by thick colonnaded walls with impressive gates. Each included a tall building near the rear of the courtyard housing a holy of holies that only priests could

enter. Each had an altar of undressed stones for sacrificing animals. It is likely that the architects of the Palmyra temple either intentionally drew upon the design of the Jewish Temple or both drew upon a common source. Meticulous reconstruction of Palmyra’s temple that began in 1929 presented a now-lost opportunity to envision the design of the Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Unfortunately, the destruction of the Palmyra temple is not the first time intolerant religious beliefs have led to the destruction of irreplaceable cultural treasures. For example, early Christians damaged and defaced Egyptian temples because they rejected the beliefs the temples represented. But historical precedents cannot make the malicious destruction of part of the common heritage of humanity any less deplorable.
