“ACT is more of an academic measure and SAT more of an aptitude measure, so not only are our students doing well now, but they are also being prepared for future success,” said Dr. Mark Keen, superintendent of Westfield Washington Schools. “I believe the alignment of curriculum and assessment at all levels helps,
but the real bottom line for me is the quality of staff and what they do extra for students and the fact that the administrators work so well together to ensure success for students. It’s a team effort to get high quality results; it is not one person or one thing that makes it happen.”

Proposed I-69 and 106th interchange sparks debate By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com On the evening of Sept. 10, dozens gathered in Fishers City Hall Auditorium to hear the Indiana Department of Transportation’s proposal for a new interchange at 106th roads Street and Interstate 69 in Fishers. The project is estimated to cost $34 million, with the City of Fishers contributing 28 percent and Hamilton County contributing 6 percent. “This is a heavily locally funded project. We have the City of Fishers and Hamilton County, so we’ve got about $12 million of [our] own money in this,” Jeremy Richardson, design consultant for INDOT, said. “This is an important project for both Hamilton County and the City of Fishers.” The purpose of the interchange is to reduce congestion at current I-69 intersections located at 96th and 116th streets, as well as improve traffic safety by reducing crashes in the area and allowing direct access to 106th Street from I-69. “There [are] a lot of recurring crashes due to congestion on I-69, so it’s going to help with that congestion,” Richardson said. “One of the most important points is direct access to the 106th Street area.” INDOT’s proposed intersection would consist a pair of, twolane, oval-shaped roundabouts on 106th Street over I-69 with ramps going in both directions of the interstate. The bridge at 106th Street would be demolished and replaced with two separate two-lane bridges carrying one-way traffic. “One of things that makes the roundabout a good solution to this area…we’ve got roundabouts at Crosspointe [Boulevard],
A rendering of the interchange at I-69 and 106th Street. (Submitted rendering)
and we’ve got roundabouts at Hazel Dell [Parkway] and 106th Street,” Richardson said. “It matches the character of the roadway already. When we compare those seconds [of average delay] across the table for the other types of interchanges, we’re looking at an interchange that functions very well with travel demand that has been forecasted.” If approved, construction would begin in April and last until the spring of 2017. During that time, traffic at 106th Street would be detoured to 96th Street. “We are building two bridges as part of this and we’ll have to tear down the old bridge,” Richardson said. “The 106th
Street bridge crossing I-69 will be closing for the duration of construction. The duration of construction is from June 2016 to April 2017. The detour for that closure will be taking 96th and Lantern Road. During construction we are able to maintain all lanes on I-69 during the day. We will reduce the speed limit as we go through the work zone, but all lanes will be available at all times. We will have nighttime lane closures.” While INDOT spokespeople assured the auditorium the construction would be beneficial, the majority of the crowd voiced concerns against the project. Audience members were given the opportunity to comment about what would happen to the communities on 106th Street in the area. “I’ve seen nothing that justifies the impact that it’s going to have on houses on these streets,” one Fishers resident said. “We already can’t get out of our driveways. Tonight, to get here; seven minutes I had to wait to get out of my driveway. We’re going to put another thousand cars on that road? Where are we going to put them?” Others said that previous projects should be revisited before the 106th overlay be discussed, such as revisions to 96th and 116th Streets. “When the intersections at 116th and 96th were being modified they had the chance to address the congestion issues and they failed to do so,” one resident said. “If we have $34 million between the two of you, why didn’t you do those two intersections properly? Now they are trying to offload this onto the residents of 106th.” Comments on the proposed project may be sent to INDOT at rclark@indot.in.gov.

I encourage them Harbison to turn off the television and have a quiet place in their home where their children can study. Putting a high priority on education from the get go is so important.

Library seeking community input By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield Washington Public Library director Sheryl Sollars needs the public to weigh in. Sollars said the developing survey library wants a strategic plan for the next three to five years. “We figured after we did our expansion, our space is pretty good,” she said. “But now we want to find out what services people want us to provide.” So the library began an online survey that will run through Oct. 9 and cover several topics. “One of the questions is, ‘Please rate the following library collections,’” Sollars Sollars said. “Do you think we have to have print books or e-books? Do people want programming space or better programs? What is the library to them? Do they use the library?” She said they are trying to get feedback on what would draw non-users to the library. Sollars, who has been the director for 12 years, said the usage has been steady over the past few years. “What I’ve seen is it tends to be more of a
gathering place, not just a place for the storage for books,” Sollars said. “People come here and want to have meetings and attend programs. I assume one of the things we’re going to need to update is our technology. We want to make sure we are doing the things the public wants us to do and not what we think they want us to do.” To take part in the survey, visit www.surveymonkey.com/r/wwplpublic. Print surveys are also available at the library, 333 W. Hoover St.

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com More than 2,000 IU Health employees volunteered their time all over the state on Sept. 18 as part of the health organization’s annual Day of Service. In Noblesville, approximately 50, representing IU Health North and IU Health Saxony, gave time to improve features of Hamilton County Parks and Recreation’s newest park, Bray Family Homestead at the border of Noblesville and Westfield. The collaboration between IU Health and the parks department resulted in a 22-plot community garden, where two wheelchair-accessible garden beds were built.
Rod Couch, manager of supply chain at IU Health North, and Carl Zenor, manager of radiology at IU Health North, build railing for a small creek bridge together.
Small groups worked together as a team to build a new footpath and safety railing along a creek bridge. “We go through a process every three years where we identify what the health needs in the county are,” said
Joy Davis, a spokesperson for IU Health. “So, one of them we’ve been focusing on for the past three years is obesity prevention. We feel like rejuvenating the parks and adding new assets to the parks really helps.”

Westfield’s mass transit study to begin later this year By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Love it or hate it, mass transit is a hot topic for central Indiana. In Westfield, it’s hard cover story to judge what the majority believes should happen as the city continues to grow, drawing non-residents from other Hamilton County communities, Indianapolis and further south. IndyGo and Indy Connect have worked for several years to extend its Red Line through the most northern parts of Westfield. With the proposed upgrade and revamping of downtown in Grand Junction, the completion of Grand Park and the soon-to-come Grand Park Fieldhouse, city government leaders realize Westfield may need a mass transit system. But officials aren’t saying anything yet, holding out for the completion of $146,206 environmental study city council approved at its March 23 meeting. Westfield Mayor Andy Cook was unavailable for comment as of press time. Bryan Luellen, director of public affairs for IndyGo, said the study, to begin this fall, will cover an array of topics. He said the more public phase of the study would ramp up in very early 2016. “The study will consider Luellen traffic impacts, historical structures along the line, environmental impacts, air quality, noise and vibration, and any potential impacts to other natural, cultural, recreational or biological resources,” he said. In an Indy Connect analysis of connection to Westfield from February of this year, three service options were studied: No Build, Alternative 1 (Shuttle) and Alternative 2 (Bus Rapid Transit). With the No Build option, bus rapid transit service would be provided from Greenwood, north to Carmel’s City Center, and no service would be provided north of the City Center or in Westfield. With Alternative 1, the shuttle option, a local shuttle would circulate from the Carmel City Center and extend through northern Westfield into Grand Park at Grand Park Boulevard and 186th Street. Bus rapid transit would be used for stops and stations south of the City Center, and riders would then transfer to the local shuttle for stops north of the City Center and

in Westfield. The Indy Connect analysis from February estimates this option with a capital cost of approximately $4.5 million and an annual operating and maintenance estimate of $2.2 million. With Alternative 2, bus rapid transit service would be provided all the way through the Red Line’s most northern stop at Grand Park and 186th Street without riders transferring to a local shuttle. This would be the most extensive and expensive build-out of the Red Line with a capital cost estimate of nearly $11.7 million and an annual operating and maintenance estimate of $1.9 million. Westfield could see three major stops at the city’s largest consumer and recreation areas that draw huge numbers day in and day out. Stops and station locations would be the same for both Alternative 1 and 2. The three major stations proposed would be at Greyhound Plaza/Village Park Plaza near 146th Street and U.S. 31, downtown at Grand Junction at Union Street and Ind. 32, and at Grand Park at Grand Park Boulevard and 186th Street.
This map shows the three major stations proposed for Westfield at Grand Park, Grand Junction and Village Park Plaza. (Source: IndyGo)
Stations would feature shelter, realtime passenger information, off-board fare collection, security and adequate lighting and bicycle parking. Hours of service for both Alternative 1 and 2 would be the same, too: Weekdays from 4:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m., Saturdays from 6:30 a.m. to 12 a.m., and Sundays from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. The IndyGo study says Alternative 2 would elicit the highest ridership, estimated at 10,098 rides per weekday, compared to Alternative 1’s 9,322 rides per weekday. Consumers, based on capital cost estimates, could expect to pay approximately $2.61 per trip with either alternative. Luellen said once each city’s environmental study and preliminary engineering is completed in early 2016, IndyGo would be able to refine costs associated with construction in later phases of the project.

Kroger true city partner
The now remodeled and terrifically enhanced Kroger at 161st Street and Spring Mill Road is a tremendous improvement over its predecessor. The $12-million expansion was culminated with a recent ribbon cutting and an exercise of paying forward into the community by the store. We find it noteworthy that Kroger donated $500 to Open Doors and another $500 to Westfield’s Heart and Soul Clinic. Additionally, Kroger donated $1,000 to the Westfield Fire Dept. “Kroger is proud of the partnerships we develop in the communities we serve,” Kroger Central Division President Jeff Burt said. “It is both a pleasure and an honor to provide financial support to the Westfield Fire Dept. and we thank them for all they do to make our community great.” This isn’t just a case of putting money where one’s mouth is; it’s emblematic of how Kroger immerses itself into communities. Watch for it to continue. ••• We were mildly disappointed, but certainly not in any way surprised, to learn unionbusting Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) dropped out of the Republican Party race for the nomination for the presidency. It seems Walker either was “too much too soon” for the party leadership or we were just wishfully thinking he really had a chance to make things interesting. We suspect he was advised out under the threat of having his spine removed as was the case with so many before him. ••• No less an authority than USA Today’s empaneled experts have anointed Carly Fiorina the frontrunner for the GOP bid for the White House. That didn’t take long, did it? We mean, The Trump Show had to fade at some point, didn’t it? Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Parachute pants and mall bangs Commentary by Terry Anker A close friend from college has become enamored with #TBT. Even a highly informed and well-read adult might wonder what is entailed in this au courant nomenclature. So please forgive the remedial lesson to those in the know but a hashtag (#) aids in categorizing information broadcast on social media and the letters (TBT) represent Throw Back Thursday, which is the day designated for reminiscing online. The moniker usually accompanies a photo of the person making the post from a much earlier time in their life. The pictures generally showcase one’s poor fashion sense, challenging coiffure, or dedication to an outdated fad. It seems the more embarrassing the reminiscence, the better. One’s parachute pants, Vanilla Ice-like lightning bolt fade haircut and Macarena dance moves might all be fair game. Nostalgia with a bit of self-deprecating humor guides the intent and no harm is done. One of my college friends has taken to blasting the occasional #TBT with my name
attached. It is all harmless enough – even good, clean fun. However, in the 30-plus years since I last woke up in a dorm room, much has changed. For example, one of our compatriots from the 1980s generation took offense at a photograph of her featuring her “towering mall bangs” hairstyle. While the very engineering of her coif was impressive, she found it resurrected painful memories of a then boyfriend who’d eventually become an ex-husband. Politely, our friend obliged in removing the photo from social media. But the self-imposed censorship invited a quandary. Who owns our past if we all have stock in a time and place that we once shared? Besides, can we legitimately hope to erase the reality of bad hair and cheating spouses? Maybe our focus should be keeping our contemporary life in order and simply let the past pass. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. – Thomas Edison
Life as a working mother of four can be chaotic. Throw in a lab that still insists on the occasional indoor poo, humor a slightly ADD husband who hunts, skis and plays in two fantasy football leagues and a house that is slowly but surely decompensating, and you’ve got a recipe for Crazy Lady Casserole. As such, I’m hoping to forestall my almost certain stint at Perpetual Peace Sanatorium by finding ways to channel my inner Zen. And not to brag, but I think I’ve actually come up with a decent plan. I’m calling it Be Calm, Stay Calm. First up in my Serenity Now strategy is yoga. I had to quit geriatric yoga a while back to cart my kids all over God’s creation of central Indiana suburbia, but now, thanks to voodoo magic and the alignment of Jupiter and Mars, my Monday afternoons are nearly wide open. I started again last week, and though I was awkward and stiff and as unbalanced as a newborn giraffe, after one hour I actually felt relaxed. My thoughts weren’t ping-ponging around in my head per usual, and the constant stiffness in my neck had dissipated. Namaste! My first step in remaining institution-free was a resounding success. Next on the anti-cuckoo agenda is Church. I fell out of the Sunday mass habit over the summer, partially because my spouse isn’t Catholic but mostly because I’m lazy. I soon realized, however, that despite the hassle, I kind of like that weekly dose of ritual and reflection. I don’t always pay attention, and I sometimes leave early, but I do enjoy that hour of sitting with my children and contemplating things greater than myself. Amen! Another notch in the Keep-It-Together belt is claimed! Finally, on a more practical level, I’ve hired a driver. Sure he’s only had his license for five months and actually wrecked his grandfather’s car four days after acquiring said license, but he’s relatively inexpensive and extremely flexible. Woot-woot! Here’s to outsourcing chauffer services to your oldest son! So there you have it. My three-part plan for Sane Lady Soufflé. Peace out.

True Friends: Pastor clarifies sects Editor, The City of Westfield was founded by the Friends Church. However, as the pastor of Westfield Friends Church, I find that the Friends in Westfield have often been misrepresented. Please let me clarify. In the early 19th century, a significant division occurred among Friends along theological lines. Elias Hicks began propagating a universalist interpretation of Friends faith. This stood in direct contrast to the traditional orthodox faith of Friends. Those who shared his interpretation became known as Hicksites. The Hicksites, led by Hicks, believed that the Inner Light must be the primary source of truth and that the Bible was only a secondary source. This inner light is a universal spiritual presence shared with other religious faiths in the world. Today, Hicksites often refer to themselves as Quakers. “He held that Christ’s coming in the flesh, His life, His death, the Scriptures and all outward teachings were not essential to salvation.” (The Rich Heritage of Quakerism, Walter R. Williams, Barclay Press, Newberg, Oregon, ©1962, page 170). Hicksites are called Quakers. Orthodox Quakers believe that the Bible
and the Holy Spirit are the primary authorities on the truth. They are called “Friends” or “The Friends Church.” Friends believe that “the doctrines of the apostolic days are held by the Friends as essentials of Christianity. The Fatherhood of God, the Deity and humanity of the Son; the gift of the Holy Spirit; the atonement through Jesus Christ by which men are reconciled to God; the Resurrection; the Highpriesthood of Christ, and the individual priesthood of believers, are most precious truths, to be held, not as traditional dogmas, but as vital life-giving realities.” (Faith and Practice of Indiana Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, 2011, page 37). The Westfield Friends are orthodox Friends and have been since they founded the settlement here in Westfield. Westfield Friends are Christian and do not embrace the “Inner Light” but instead embrace the authority of Scripture and the leading of the Holy Spirit. We refer to ourselves as Friends. Feel free to contact me or Westfield Friends Church to get the accurate information. Let’s keep it real. Steve Pedigo, Pastor Westfield Friends Church

ZCHS choirs present Purdue Glee Club By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Purdue Varsity Glee Club makes its appearance at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, Purdue senior Austin Rauschuber will feel right at home. “I’m so excited to be able to come back to Zimusic onsville to sing for my senior year,” Rauschuber said. “Zionsville is a wonderful town that raised me well, and I can’t wait to be back among friends and acquaintances on the stage where I learned to love singing.” The concert with the Purdue men’s choir will start at 7 p.m. on Oct. 2 at the ZPAC, which is connected to Zionsville Community High School. “My time in the choirs at Zionsville Community High School have helped prepare me for so much in my life, from my musical experiences to my professional experiences,” said Rauschuber, a tenor. “From my time in Zionsville’s choir program, I was able to learn so much about my voice and help to train myself to become a strong singer, when I had very little experience with how my own voice worked before coming into the program. The choir program also helped to train me to develop a strong work ethic and a great sense of teamwork. In the modern collaborative work environment, it’s programs like Zionsville’s choirs that help set upcoming generations for success.” Purdue’s Glee Cub, under the direction of William Griffel, features a versatile repertoire including gospel, vocal jazz, swing, contemporary hits, romantic ballads, classical choral selections, barbershop, folk melodies, patriotic standards, opera choruses, country and novelty tunes. The choral group utilizes small groups and talented soloists to further enhance each show. The 90-minute show will include a combined song with Zionsville Show Choirs, Royalaires and Choralaires. Together they will sing the “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” “This is an excellent opportunity, for our students, to work with a collegiate choir,” said Deana Broge, who directs the choirs with Aaron Coates. “Our students will have a rehearsal with the Glee Club and their director, Bill Griffel, have dinner with them and then get to watch them perform.” Broge was formerly a director of the Purduettes. “Yes, there is a certain amount of nostalgia in hosting the Purdue Varsity Glee Club at Zionsville Community High School, but the best reason to host this fundraising concert is to have Dance! Lenape Indian Traditions – Oct. 3 from 1-2 p.m. Join members of the Lenape Tribe of Oklahoma at Conner Prairie as they bring their colorful dress, culture and dance traditions to life. Experience a combination of pow-wow and social dances, discover the meaning of the songs and traditions and join the dancers in their rhythmic steps. For more, visit connerprairie.org.

some area Purdue students back home,” Broge said. Joining Rauschuber are five students from Hamilton County, including two Hamilton Southeastern High School graduates, Trevor Peters and Rob Mantock. The others are Aaron Corbett, Noblesville High School; John Evelo, Carmel High School and Patrick Montgomery, Fishers High School. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. For ticket information, visit zchoirs.com or Zvilleperformingarts.com. Tickets also are available by calling 733-4833 and at the door.
Julie Tiller, who was president of Zionsville Show Choirs Inc. last year and the parent of a Royalaires member, said the money raised is going to help with costumes and travel for their competition season. “It’s not only serving as an educational opportunity to show our kids what they can do in college to keep their interest alive, it’s providing the community with a wonderful evening of entertainment,” Tiller said. “And it’s helping raise funds for our current show choir program.”
Headless Horseman – Conner Prairie is hosting the annual Headless Horseman event Oct. 9-11, 15-18, 22-25 from 6-9 p.m. Bring the family to Conner Scairie, a haunted land inhabited by funloving ghouls all vying for your vote to be elected mayor after their former leader, Lord Moldywart, accidentally turned himself into a cute, fuzzy bunny with an errant spell. Meet Beautisha, the cosmetics-loving witch, as she conjures up magical beauty tips with the audience. Join wanna-be stand-up comedian and resident expert in all things pertaining to the underworld, Dr. Acula, on his new game show, ‘Monster Mayhem.’ Presale tickets available at select central Indiana Marsh and O’Malia’s stores.

Banjo Concert at the Library – Hussey Mayfield Memorial Library in Zionsville will host a special Monday evening program to kick off this year’s United We Read events, from 7-8 p.m. Oct. 5. Musician Sam Bartlett will play rollicking tunes from the 1930s (and before) and also talk about the proud history of the banjo. Light refreshment provided, registration required.

Across the Arts is Oct. 3 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s only fitting Jeannine “Andy” Murphy and Amy Pauszek have the right stuff in their partnership. event Murphy is the founder and executive director of WriteStuff Writers and Pauszek serves as an associate.

The conference features best-selling authors, filmmakers, producers, literary agents, publishers and the film commissioner. “Our point is to let people celebrate the arts,” Murphy said. Debby Knox, longtime Indianapolis TV anchor now with CBS4, serves as the event moderator for the second time. Kelly Vaughn, of WHMB-40, Murphy and Pauszek also serve as moderators. There will be one-on-one interviews and panel

Michael Lawson, director of public relations from sponsor Reynolds Farm Equipment, is the master of ceremonies. “We like to have a lot of interaction with the audience so we like questions-and-answers,” Murphy said.

Knights back for Ren Faire
By Zach Dunkin • news@currentinwestfield.com After 10 rollicking residencies at three different “settlements” in Hamilton County, the knights, nobles and peasants festival of the Fishers Renaissance Faire will set up camp on Oct. 3 and 4 at the Klipsch Music Center. It is an idyllic setting for the Elizabethan village of Billericay, Fishers’ sister city in England. Fair organizers were forced to look for a new location when the property in the Saxony Village subdivision, where the fair was most recently staged, was sold. “The people at Saxony were fantastic; it was simply a business decision,” explained event organizer Adam Fivush. “It turned out for the best. At Saxony, we were surrounded by houses, so it took away from some of the ambiance. At Klipsch, the field is absolutely gorgeous with trees on three sides.” Renaissance fairs in the U.S. date to the mid-60s. The Fishers fair began in 2005 at Heritage Park and then moved to Conner Prairie for four years in 2007, before settling at Saxony from 2011 to 2014. The fair attempts to emulate the golden era of Queen Elizabeth’s reign with more than

Coolers: Shape, size, efficiency By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Even though homemade (tailgater-engineered) ice chests were used as far back as man was able to cut blocks of ice, the official birth of the modern cooler was in the 1950s. In 1954, Coleman Company offered a galvanized cooler and after that, began to offer ice chests with foam insulated plastic liners. With improvements over time we now have a Coleman cooler that keeps ice for five days in 90-degree heat, honest! They also make stackers (coolers) which have square corners and fit easily into a vehicle without wasting space. Our rules for coolers: • Load coolers with items already cold. • Use plenty of ice. • Food safety requires separate coolers for food and beverages. • Have coolers that are sized and shaped to fit into your vehicle. • Try to buy coolers in team colors. Here’s a great tailgate item to fit into your cooler for dessert. It’s a lemon drop bar that’s not too sweet and not too tart. Ingredients: • 2 1/4 Cups all-purpose flour • 1/2+ Cup powdered sugar • 2 sticks softened butter • 4 eggs, lightly beaten • 1 1/2 Cups granulated sugar • 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon zest • 1/2 Cup fresh squeezed lemon juice • 10 crushed lemon drops Preparation: On the day before, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl stir together 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar; then add the butter and beat with a hand mixer on medium/low speed until the mixture clings together. Press this mixture evenly into

a 9 1/4 x 13 1/4 baking dish and bake in the oven until lightly browned (approximately 25 minutes). Combine the eggs, granulated sugar and lemon juice. Whisk in 1/4 cup flour and lemon zest. Pour this mixture over the baked layer. Now bake 20 minutes more or until the edges start to brown and the center is set. Place the dish on a wire rack and cool before cutting into 24 bars. On game day, sprinkle bars with the rest of the powdered sugar and crushed lemon drops. Cover the dish with a lid or heavy foil and place into your cooler until you serve them. They can sit out 90 minutes at the tailgate, but then replace them into the cooler.

I Filed for Divorce. NOW WHAT!? Once service of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage has been completed and your spouse has received notice that the divorce has been filed, it is often helpful for the parties to establish the “ground rules” which will govern certain aspects of their conduct during the pendency of the divorce. Issues that should be addressed are custody of the children, parenting time, possession of the marital residence, and payment of marital expenses. These issues are referred to as “provisional issues.” If you believe that such ground rules are needed, a provisional hearing should be requested in your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Once you request the provisional hearing, the court will set the matter to be heard and notify each party of the hearing date. Frequently, these hearings are only scheduled from fifteen (15) to thirty (30) minutes, though there are instances in which a longer hearing is needed and that amount of time must be specifically requested. Due to these time constraints, it is often beneficial for the to parties reach an agreement on all provisional issues which is then submitted for court approval. There are a number of benefits to reaching an agreement rather than going to court, including: crafting terms of an agreement to meet your families’ needs; saving the expenses associated with preparing and attending a hearing; setting and/or maintaining an amicable relationship between the divorcing
parties, and reducing the stress and anxiety a hearing can cause. In the event that you and your spouse cannot resolve the temporary issues, you will be required to attend the preliminary hearing. This can be a particularly important part of the divorce proceeding. Parties would be well advised to use the preliminary hearing as a forum to position arguments that will be made at the final hearing. However, it is important to realize that due to the fact that the hearings are often very short, the parties are often the only witnesses and their testimony will be limited to basic matters. Therefore, discussing and preparing your requests with your attorney prior to the hearing is imperative. Following the preliminary hearing, the Judge will issue a provisional order that will typically remain in effect until a final hearing can be held. Often times, the order is provided at the conclusion of the hearing. After the preliminary hearing, parties will enter negotiations to reach a final settlement. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Feeling a bit stressed? Commentary by Cory Black Stress is one thing that no one really can escape. No matter who you are, you have likely felt “stressed out” from time to time, and for some of us a part of your health every day. Stress causes mental tolls such as depression and anxiety, and physical tolls such as increased blood pressure levels and even extra weight around your midsection. While you can’t get rid of stressful situations, you can reduce its toll on you. Making sure you get a good night’s rest becomes all the more important for your body to deal with the impact of stress from the day. Two of the best supplements that can help you shutdown are GABA and ZMA. GABA is a natural neuro-inhibitory transmitter and helps calm your brain activity and help a racing mind shutdown for the night. And ZMA can help you get more from your sleep. Fight the effects of stress with ashwagandha, which is an herb with stress-relieving
properties. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, or an herb that helps stabilize physiological processes and cellular sensitivity to stress. This powerful herb can significantly reduce anxiety and as well reduce cortisol levels from stress that increases fat storage. Ashwagandha can help you resist the damaging effects of stress so you can feel revitalized and recharged. Support your brain health when under stress by making sure you have sufficient Omega 3 essential fatty acids, which our diets are often deficient in. Docosahexaenoic acid found in Omega 3’s is particularly critical to brain health, and in fact DHA makes up to 20 percent of our cerebral cortex. DHA supports brain activity and mood, and it’s the break down of brain activity that leads to anxiety and depression. Cory Black is the owner of PointBlank Nutrition in Carmel.

Central Indiana continues to trend towards a more balanced market as fewer homes become available and real estate selling prices rise. For August 2015, Tucker’s data revealed an 11.1 percent decline in home sales compared to August 2014. However, average year-to-date home sale prices climbed 4.9 percent to $186,087. All nine central Indiana counties F.C. Tucker tracks experienced varying declines of inventory. Hamilton County saw a 7.5 percent decline in inventory while the average yearto-date sale price for the county climbed 3.4 percent to $278,093. • In Westfield, year-to-date home sale prices increased by 9.5 percent compared to the same time last year to $292,065. • Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, one was priced above $1,000,000; six were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 19 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 27 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; and 36 were priced $100,000 to $199,999.
• Inventory moved at a faster pace in Westfield in August 2015. Overall, homes sold in 49 days – five days faster than this time last year. • Buyers in Westfield had slightly fewer options available to them. Last month, 235 homes were available for sale, which were 14 fewer homes compared to August 2014. • Pended home sales have slipped in Westfield. In August 2015, 89 homes sold – a decline of six homes compared to August 2014. The residential real estate story in the Indianapolis area continues to be declining inventory and increasing prices, which is attractive for home sellers. Although we saw a slight decline in home sales in August, the overall trend is positive. Interest rates and unemployment remain low, and consumer confidence is relatively strong. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company. Comment on this article by e-mailing to editorial@youarecurrent.com.

Family turns basement into entertainment headquarters Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to achieve an inviting and engaging room for the whole family to enjoy. 1. Custom wainscoting was installed to create a feature wall that allowed the crawl space access to blend right in. 2. Built-in cabinetry allowed the perfect storage solution for family scrapbooks and allowed the media equipment to be hidden from view. 3. A new electric fireplace and large projector screen now create a prime focal point in the room. 4. A small bar with glass tile was added for easy entertaining. 5. Additional columns were added to create a continuous flow and more defined area for furniture. 6. Soft gray paint and LED lighting contributed to the transitional style of the space.
Before
Background Info: This newer home is located in the Brookhaven Subdivision in Zionsville. The basement was originally completed with spec finishes but the clients were ready for a more custom basement.
Before problems: The family spent a lot of time in this space and wanted to create a more enjoyable atmosphere. The columns were awkwardly placed, the entertainment center was too small, and the crawl space access was easily noticed. A small wet bar area was also desired for entertainment.

To most people, the Vikings were uncivilized brutes, who plundered and ravished Christian Europe during the Middle Ages. travel In fact, the Vikings (or Norsemen) were skilled explorers and traders, whose legacy can be seen in the small town of Sigtuna, Sweden. The Vikings were descendants of Germanic tribes who settled in what is now Scandinavia. They were originally farmers, but became seafarers in the eighth century, perhaps seeking new lands for their heirs to cultivate. Using their technologically advanced “long boats,” Vikings ventured as far west as what is now Newfoundland and as far east as Constantinople, trading with the people they found and occasionally establishing settlements. If they learned that the people they encountered were not good fighters, they sometimes found it easier to plunder and steal than farm or trade, giving rise to their current reputation. Lacking paper or parchment, Vikings wrote on stone slabs called “runestones” using phonetic letters formed by easy-to-carve straight lines. Runestones usually memorialized Viking
dead but sometimes chronicled noteworthy accomplishments or identified property. The writing on runestones typically followed a serpentine path around the stone. After Vikings adopted Christianity in the 10th century, runestones often contained a cross. Vikings founded Sigtuna in 980 A.D., making it the oldest town in Sweden. The current layout of the town follows the original Viking design and contains about 150 runestones, the most of any city in the world. Some runestones were reused as building material, but several remain upright and legible. Sigtuna, where Sweden’s coins were first minted, today has a population of about 8,500, but retains a medieval feel, with a picturesque main street, low wooden buildings and a magnificent thirteenth century brick Gothic church Sigtuna, a 45-minute drive from Stockholm, provides an opportunity to learn about the Vikings. One lesson – their battle helmets never included horns.
