WHS students take on Shakespeare By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Westfield High School junior Jonny Robinson, the decision to tackle a Shakespeare play was a welcome one. “This is something a lot of people Theater don’t get the opportunity to do because Shakespeare is sort of diminishing in high schools, especially,” Robinson said. “I think it’s a good experience to be in a high school play and have that challenge. I think things will be a lot easier after this.” Westfield’s theater department will hold performances of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” at 7 p.m. Oct. 10 and 11. “I was excited for this play because it is one of his most famous comedies,” Robinson said. Sophomore Matthew Curtner wasn’t familiar with Shakespeare plays prior to these last few weeks. “So it was difficult to learn what I was saying,” said Curtner, who plays Lysander. “But once I got into my character more, I knew what I was saying and how to say my lines.” Junior Lily Wessel, who plays Hermia, loves the experience the play presents. “Learning the lines is a little harder and it’s kind of a different challenge,” she said. “So it’s been a lot of fun to do something different.” Westfield English and theater teacher Rhonda Adams, the play’s director, said the language was difficult for the actors. “They had to learn the rhythm of the lines,” Adams said. “Some are spoken as poems and others are spoken in prose. So that was a challenge.” Adams said she is amazed how well the students have memorized their lines.
“I set a due date for memorization and they were all memorized way before the due day,” she said. The students have been rehearsing for the play since early September. “This is my 23rd year at Westfield and it’s the first time we’ve done Shakespeare,” Adams said. “Not that I haven’t wanted to but the time hasn’t been right or I didn’t feel I had the support. Quenten James, the auditorium director, is doing a fabulous job with the set and lights (as technical director). That allows me to work closely with the actors as far as the language and poetry of the language.” The cast includes Nick Caulfield (Thesus); Wyatt Ford (Egeus); Katherine Carlton (Lady Egeus); Jennifer Pearcy (Noble Attendent); Matthew Curtner (Lysander); Jonny Robinson (Demetrius); Paige Penry (Philostrate); Warrick Hinshaw (Quince); Lindon Owens (Snug, Lion); Cooper Tennent (Bottom, Pyramus); Riley Tolan (Flute, Thisby); Tade Zerbe (Snout, Wall); Lewis Condry (Starveling, Moonshine); Alexa Zavaleta (Hippolyta); Lily Wessel (Hermia); Katie Sinicki (Helena); Max Trainor (Oberon); Rhyan Radabaugh (Titania); Sara Jarvis (Puck); Isabella Novak (PeaseBlossom); Emma Behrens (Cobweb); Lily Smith (Moth); Hannah Rowe (Mustardseed) and Marissa Barrows (Oberon’s Page). The Fairies will be performed by Erilyn Briggs, Lily Iriti, Audrey Panyard, Bethany Hayward and Josephine Collier. The Amazon Princesses are Korynne Kalen and Gabriella Mangin. The Athenian Women are Ali Curry and Anna Berndt. “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” will be performed in the WHS auditorium, 18250 N. Union St. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets can be purchased at the door (which accepts credit cards) or online at www.totalgatesolutions.com.

DVD review American ticket buyers continue to give Tom Cruise movies the stink-eye, but that doesn’t mean the films aren’t any good.

I’m not from Westfield, although I wish I was. The rich history, the sense of community; Westfield has a great quality of recreation life. The way I view my job with the City of Westfield, I’m contributing to that quality of life through the parks and recreation department. I’m the recreation program coordinator. You might not have heard of my name, but if you live in Westfield you have seen my product; The Grand Guide. My job is to come up with different programs offered through the parks and recreation department. I have always had a love for the outdoors. Growing up it was a great place of solace and happiness for me. I decided that was where I wanted to focus all of my energy. I graduated from Indiana University with a degree in parks and rec management. I’ve been honored to be part of Westfield’s new venture into recreation. Westfield started offering their own programs in May 2013, the department also opened their new program building, Main Street Facility, at that time. Since becoming the program coordinator, I’ve challenged myself with trying to offer programs that apply to all interests and all age groups. My latest class offering is Westfield Wilderness Survival Academy. I’m always looking for unique classes that teach life skills. I challenged

the summer intern to come up with a program that was different than anything the parks department had done before. The Westfield Wilderness Survival Academy is offering that and more. It is offered over three Saturdays at one of our local parks and the teacher is a survivalist who is partnering with the Westfield Boy Scouts. Sometimes the new program ideas work and sometimes they don’t, but I’m always willing to try. Check it out. For more information, visit www.westfield.in.gov/parks. Brittany Goger is the recreation program coordinator for the City of Westfield. She may be contacted at 804-3184 or bgoger@westfield.in.gov.

Meet your teacher, Julie Alberts Grade/subject: First Grade, Carey Ridge Elementary Number of years teaching: 15 Background/schooling: Glenbrook North High School, Northbrook, Ill.; bachelor’s in communication, Hanover College; elementary education certification, Indiana University, Indianapolis; master’s in education, Ball State University. Why did you become a teacher? I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I can remember. My mother was a second- and fourth-grade teacher, and she instilled values as well as created the drive in me to be a grade school teacher. My interest in teaching was heightened when I was in second grade with my favorite teacher, Mrs. Cohen. Seeing and experiencing a grade school teacher in action made me want to be the best positive role model I can be. What goals do you have for your students? I want my students to feel successful in school and have confidence in themselves. From the beginning to the end of the school year, I enjoy seeing the students’ progress. I
encourage them to grow and learn in my classroom as much as they can and develop the necessary skills for the next grade level. What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? I always encourage parents to read nightly with their children. I also stress the importance to parents that they should work with their children, spend quality time with them, and be engaged in the learning process with them. What is your favorite movie? “The Princess Bride.” Who is your favorite musician or band? Bruce Springsteen and Kenny Chesney What’s something your students might not know about you? I have loved going to Disney World several times with my husband, daughter and son. Last year, we rode the Expedition Everest Ride for the first time at Animal Kingdom.

minutes with Dan Popiela By Melissa Hicks Dan Popiela, often referred to as “Nature Dan,” has been a naturalist at Cool Creek Park for five years. What is your favorite restaurant and why? My favorite restaurant is called Sweet Tomatoes and it’s an all-you-can-eat-soup and salad buffet. As much I enjoy meat and bacon and all that stuff I think people under value the essentials of vegetables. Unfortunately there’s none in Indiana. If you could travel anywhere, where be and why? The Amazon. It’s an untouched environment, unexplored, there’s still much more to be discovered out there.
What do you do in your spare time? Fishing, gardening and playing games on the computer. Do you have a pet? I have two pets. They’re both cats – one is named Isafral, the other is Frosto. What do you like most about your community? There are a lot of events in the community, things to do, opportunities for people to get out and help each other … There a lot of people that just go around and help each other out.
Downsizing? We nail the concept. We specialize in low maintenance, custom designed homes for main-level living with indoor/outdoor, open-concept floor plans that include jaw-dropping architectural detail... and all with no surprises. If this sounds on-point to you, we should talk further. Call us at 317.506.3568 or visit us online at WoodstockCustomHomes.com.

Estonian couple Gert and Kirsti Roslender introduce dance to Westfield By Navar Watson • news@currentinwestfield.com From Estonia to Indiana, world-class dancers Gert and Kirsti Roslender are extending their passion to the Hamilton County community, opening their own facility, Aucover story relia Dance Studio, off Ind. 32 in Westfield. “This idea of ballroom dancing is … something that people don’t know to take benefit (of) or don’t know to appreciate,” Gert said. Born and raised in Estonia, a country just west of Russia, Gert started dancing at 9. Kirsti began at 4, and the two started dancing together around college. Together, they have represented Estonia five times in European and World Championships. Having retired from competing together about 10 years ago, their new focus is to introduce people to “a different way to have fun,” Gert said, as well as a new way to stay healthy. The Roslenders moved to the United States in 1998 for a job offer. Renting out various studios in Indiana and training competitive students, Gert and Kirsti opened up Aurelia Dance Studio as a way to teach more social dancing to the general public. Many people deny their ability to dance, saying they lack rhythm or have “two left feet,” Kirsti said. But learning rhythm just means learning to listen to the music, Kirsti said. In her several years of teaching, she’s never once encountered a person who physically couldn’t dance. “You’d be surprised at how quickly (your feet) can get you moving,” said Dr. Mark Keen, Westfield Washington Schools’ superintendent and dancer. Keen and his wife picked up social dancing about 17 years ago as an activity to do while their kids were at college. They’ve since competed at various national amateur ballroom championships for the past nine years. “I’m living proof that anyone can be taught how to dance,” Keen said.

Keen said that the concept of baseball – a round bat hitting a round ball – is “extremely difficult,” but “most people don’t shy away from that.” For some reason, men seem more reluctant to dance than women, he said. Gert said once men experiment with the activity, they realize the physical and mental benefits. “It’s a very safe drug,” Gert said. “You just love it. You want to do it again and again and again.” Keen, who completed a full and half-marathon last year, considers himself an athlete. However, he’ll break a sweat faster dancing than running, due to the mental and physical exercise combined. He called it a “stress reliever,” as focusing on the steps “takes your mind off everything else.” “That’s the big part of it, I think, that is not really said enough – how good of a tear-up (workout) it is for people,” Gert said. “Especially people who are busy and have lots of stress.” This level of physical and mental effort can also prevent or postpone health issues later in life, such as Alzheimer’s disease. According to the American Dance Therapy Association, “the motor action often sparks memories from the past, which in turn helps confused individuals become more alert and organized.” Likewise, dancing helps slow down the effects of Parkinson’s disease, Kirsti said. She and Gert have trained students with Parkinson’s, as well as elderly people with hip replacements. Elderly, supposedly on the “decline,” only get healthier with dancing, Gert said, improving their posture, coordination, balance and core strength. For Keen, learning the steps comes easily, but nailing the technique is the hardest. Trainers like Gert and Kirsti adapt to the student’s learning style and break down the routine. At the same time, Gert and Kirsti separate beginners from more advanced students, so the beginners don’t feel pressured or uncomfortable. Though they do offer some introduction packages to ease people into dancing, Aurelia does not sell specific contracts, like most studios do. Kirsti said “it’s very important” to give the students freedom on what classes they want to take and how often they want to take them. “We don’t try to … tie them down,” Gert said. Now that they have opened their own studio, Gert and Kirsti hope “to get the place filled up with people.”

“We can talk about competitive things,” Gert said, “[but] to introduce … ballroom dancing to this particular area, I think, is the bigger goal.” Aurelia Dance Studio offers group and private sessions, as well as a wide variety of dances – including Waltz, Tango, The Foxtrot, Cha-Cha, Salsa, Swing and many more.

The home improvement effect
FROM THE BACKSHOP
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Holder will skate off into the sunset So, is Eric Holder going to skate out of the attorney general’s office without a conclusion to the IRS scandal? You bet your last dollar he is. This mess has been lingering for 16-plus months. Conservative groups, it is widely known, were targeted by the federal agency, and yet there have been no convictions, let alone criminal charges, for the heinous activity. The world knows there is missing evidence and yet … crickets. This is proof enough of robust partisan partiality in pinpointing targets and befuddled reactions from the agency about collaborating with congressional examiners. Meanwhile, Holder’s investigative group hasn’t fueled assurance about resolve and neutrality. It’s like this: Instead of solving the crime, energy is expended on punishing administration foes. As someone pointed out last week, having a reputation for a corrupt and partisan IRS, deserved or not, is the political equivalent of a football team having a reputation for cheap shots on defense. Whether it’s true, the other guys still flinch. ••• Is anyone surprised that our president has only attended 42 percent of his intelligence briefings and has spent more time on the golf course, as was reported earlier last week? This is unbelievable, and we only wish it were not the truth. But it is; remember, he spent the biggest part of his state senate service in Illinois voting not present. Did we really think things would change on a larger stage? This is embarrassing and even the most partisan Democrat should be ashamed. ••• A colleague listened last week to Mike Frey, the Libertarian candidate for the 9th Congressional District. We couldn’t agree more with what he had to say: Shrink the federal government and get rid of career politicians. There still are not nearly enough people engaged to the point they can understand what it all means.

BELIEVE IT! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In North Carolina if a man and a woman who aren’t married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married.

Absence naturally strange Commentary by Terry Anker Carolyn and I committed that when our kids headed off to college that we would encourage them to adapt to the new life and resist the temptation, at least for a while, to return home. Since departing in early August, our first has managed to do just that – settling in comfortably to the collegiate environs. When we deposited him, we carried boxes and tried to help him settle in. Even as he tolerated our doting, it was clear that he was indulging us in our need and not expressing one for himself. He was ready. And we were still adjusting to the idea. Weeks went by without a hint of melancholy from campus. Meanwhile at home, each day we’d pass his empty room without need for a reminder to make the bed or pick up a sock. For him, one can only speculate the many new experiences presented. For us, there was mostly quiet. His younger brother has filled the space, arguing creatively that he didn’t want to take over his
brother’s slightly larger room but instead that we should remodel, removing the wall between the two for him to have a giant suite. Ultimately our desire to see him – coupled with the growing list of “forgotten” items that required delivery – led to a Sunday trip for lunch and a visit. We even took the dog. And to his credit, our son hosted us. The stories flowed. His conscience was alive with possibility. His world had gotten a lot bigger. Watching our kids grow up is at once abundantly odd and entirely natural. They transform more quickly that our minds can process. Yet as we pulled away from his dormitory, our rear-view betrayed him as he stood and watched. He missed us as surely as we missed him. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK The problem with the rat race is that
even if you win, you’re still a rat.
– Lily Tomlin
I’m sitting in my “dining” room amidst what feels like a garage sale. To my right are a dresser from my son’s room and a fake bamboo tree from the front humor serves-no-purpose-whatsoever room. To my left, stacked high on a desk from the office, are throw pillows, a Deskjet printer, two lamps, picture frames, faux orchids, and six paint cans dripping varying shades of khaki. From my vantage point, I can also see across to the family room where only a single couch remains, apart from a snoozing Labrador retriever and a discarded Carpi Sun. All walls are adorned with a minimum of seven swatches of paint. Curse you, new mattress! But what’s an ultra-firm, king-size Beautyrest have to do with my home’s uncanny resemblance to a cluttered, poorly-showcased antique shop, you ask? Well Adoring Fan, let me explain. I call it the Home Improvement Effect. You begin with one small change in your décor and end up essentially ushering in an extreme makeover on the first floor. Take, for example, what happened when we finally upgraded our 20-plus-year-old hand-me-down mattress. The bed purchase lead to new sheets, which in turn had us thinking that it was probably time to get rid of the nasty, pet-stained odiferous-when-humid downstairs carpet. And if we’re replacing that, then shouldn’t we paint first so as not to possibly ruin the new flooring? After all, we’ve have been dreaming of non-yellow walls since the day we moved in, more than four years ago. Of course, before we paint, we really should replace those five or six windows that have been ensuring Vectren a nice profit margin every winter, and also the front door which whistles on windy days. Don’t forget the garage roof! The ceiling in there won’t withstand another heavy downpour! And so here I sit, amidst the chaos of an abode poised for total remodel. Carpet guys are due in less than 12 hours, followed by the roofer next week. The door will arrive midmonth, hopefully the same time as the painting is finished. Do we absolutely need to be doing any of this? Apart from the garage roof and maybe two of offending windows, no. But that’s the problem with the Home Improvement Effect. Once the momentum kicks in, there’s no going back. So we’ll muddle through the next few weeks amidst the junk piles and work crews. All because of a stupid, but glorious, new mattress. At least I’m well-rested! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

Commentary by Amy Pauszek The 2014 Heartland Film Festival is just around the corner and will run from Oct. 16 through Oct. 25. Heartland Film’s Mission is to movies inspire filmmakers and audiences through the transformative power of film. Every year I look forward to previewing the films and telling people which ones are most worth watching. Many of these films are thought provoking. challenge our perspectives on the world and inspire us to make a difference. I selected this week’s Top 5 Films because every one of them made me stop and appreciate who and what I have in my life. They are powerful films that deal with diversity, determination and love. Heartland knows how to open our minds, tug at our hearts and listen. I hope these films will empower and enlighten your own hearts to see the world from a different view. Experience the Heartland Film Festival and I hope to see you at the movies! “AMIRA & SAM” (Official Selection) An army veteran attempting to assimilate back into a country he barely recognizes while trying to win the heart of an Iraqi immigrant who is on the verge of being deported. This beautifully-made film will make you stop and think about how we view others but perhaps more importantly how we are viewed as Americans. Directed and written by Indianapolis native Sean Mullin, “Amira & Sam” will open your eyes and warm your heart. “CICADA” (Festival Award Winner) “Cicada” is the story of Jumpei, a man who loses sight of his progeny when he finds out he is infertile, but then is given the gift of clairvoyance and begins to see glimpses of the future. These glimpses lead him to a series of cicada shells, which become symbolic of his desire to shed his old self. Directed by Dean Yamada of Japan, this film takes you on a dysfunctional family journey that transpires a series of comical and heartbreaking events along the way. “HIGHWAY TO DHAMPUS” (Official Selection) When Laxmi, headmistress of a small orphanage in Nepal, is visited by a rich socialite attempting to fix her image through charitable acts, a chain of events is set in motion that

Five picks for Heartland Film Fest affects everyone involved. These four individuals from four different worlds will learn what it means to be charitable, to give and to love, but what unfolds will change their lives forever. Directed and written by Rick McFarland of California, this film will find the soft spot in your heart of giving and love. “LIGHT FLY, FLY HIGH” (Festival Award Winner) As a young Indian girl born outside of caste, Thulasi is trying to box her way out of poverty, but the struggle for an independent life is hardest outside the ring. Forced to leave her parents home when only 14 she fights hard to succeed and eventually ranks third in India’s Light Fly category. Despite an uphill battle against sexual harassment, poverty and the pressure to marry, Thulasi refuses to compromise herself, her goals and she takes her destiny into her own hands. Directed and written by Beathe Hofseth and Susann Ostigarrd, “Light Fly, Fly High” was filmed over a period of three years. This film is a gripping and inspirational story of a courageous young woman who refuses to be anyone’s victim. “SOMEONE YOU LOVE”: THE HPV EPIDEMIC (Official Section) Narrated by Vanessa Williams, this documentary caught my eye because of the local connection with the Kristen Forbes EVE Foundation, a non-profit organization out of Noblesville. Watching the video clips of Kristen and her family opened my eyes to the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). This virus may be the most widespread, misunderstood and potentially dangerous epidemic that most people hardly know anything about. This poignant documentary takes a look into the lives of five women affected by HPV, this widely misunderstood and controversial virus causes several types of cancer, including cervical. Directed by Frederic Lumiere, this film is one I would encourage everyone of all ages to see. HPV sees no age, race or class. Amy Pauszek lives in Fishers. She is a well known film producer, social media/marketing entrepreneur and a scouting/casting associate for Talent Fusion Modeling Agency based out of Indianapolis.

“Our mission includes recognizing opportunities to support the performing arts in our community.” - Dr. Tammy Wittmann
Ladies, have you ever felt your breasts for a lump, then prayed what you felt was normal? Welcome to the club. prevention When women detect a lump at home, they’re often scared. They hope and pray it goes away, and often self-sacrifice when it comes to choosing between caring for their family and making time for a screening. Screening, however, is key to ensuring they can continue to care for their loved ones. Breast cancer screenings are designed to catch problems early so women have a greater chance of survival. By the time you feel something at home a doctor could have caught it already and made progress on treatment. Among leading breast cancer risk factors are: 1. A family history of breast cancer. Many women think only of mom’s family, but you get half of your DNA from dad, so it’s important to look at his side of the family, too. 2. The age of family members diagnosed with breast cancer also matters. A pre-menopausal woman – say, in her 30s or 40s – is considered young, and a diagnosis at her age could mean the disease’s gene runs in the family. 3. A woman also is at greater risk if a previous breast biopsy revealed abnormal cells. In that case, doctors advise seeing a breast surgeon in a high-risk cancer clinic. It’s worth noting that nearly half of women

have such dense breasts (meaning a greater amount of breast and connective tissue compared to fat), that mammograms can’t see through that tissue well. It’s like looking at a polar bear in a snowstorm: white on white. In those cases, Indiana law requires facilities performing mammograms to issue breast density notifications to patients — an indication that more testing might be needed. To overcome the breast-density obstacle, more advanced health centers have begun adopting a test called tomosynthesis – “tomo” for short – or 3D mammogram. The tomo takes images of the breasts at different angles, building a 3D image so clinicians can see through thin slices of dense breast tissue. At a minimum, tomos decrease the chance that a patient will have to return for additional testing. Whether seeking an initial screening or highrisk treatment, one should visit with a fellowship-trained breast surgeon. Fellowship training means the surgeon has additional, specialized training and spent considerable time working within the industry’s most advanced systems, applying the latest surgical techniques and breast cancer care.

Why have a primary care doctor? Commentary by Lisa Youngblood, MD,
You may need to see a doctor if you’re ill or injured, but what if you’re not? Some people who are in apparent good wellness health don’t feel they need to see a primary care physician. The fact is that developing a relationship with a primary care doctor now is an important step in your long-term efforts to stay healthy. A primary care doctor is the first point of contact for most health-related concerns. In addition to diagnosing and treating acute medical conditions, your doctor recommends a schedule for preventive screenings and provides education about health and wellness. That’s why it’s important to see a primary care doctor regularly even if you don’t have any current health issues. A primary care doctor can partner with you to oversee your health and help prevent problems before they occur. Early detection of high blood pressure or high blood glucose, for example, helps ensure better treatment outcomes and prevents unnecessary hospitalizations and/or trips to the emergency room. So, what does it mean to establish with a primary care doctor? Generally, it means mak-
ing an appointment to be seen for a checkup. Ultimately, this can mean fewer visits to urgent care facilities or the ER. Your doctor knows your personal medical history and provides continuity of care from visit to visit. If you do have a medical concern, your primary care doctor can treat you, advise on when and where to be seen in the future, or what to do after hours. If you’re admitted to the hospital, your doctor can provide follow-up care after you’re released, including any tests or labs you may need rechecked. Your primary care physician is someone you can trust. Once you’ve established care with a primary care doctor, remember to see him or her regularly for medical problems or at least once a year to update your chart and history. Take advantage of an annual well exam if covered by your health insurance. You will get to know each other and can work collaboratively on preventive measures for a lifetime of good health. Lisa Youngblood, MD, specializes in family medicine. She is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Northside Adult & Pediatrics, 11725 Illinois St., Suite 250, Carmel.

Culloden: Scotland’s Gettysburg Commentary by Don Knebel
YOU’RE INVITED!
Hoist the sail and join us as we set sail for The Caribbean! Thursday, October 9, 2014 | 5:30-9 p.m. RITZ CHARLES | 12156 N. Meridian Street | Carmel, IN RSVP at www.chauciesplace.org
C AR I NG • P ROTECTION • H E ALI NG
When Scottish citizens voted recently on whether to sever ties to England, some carried with them memories of a bloody travel battle 278 years ago. For them, the Culloden Battlefield memorializes English oppression. In 1707, after centuries of intermittent conflict, Scotland and England agreed to a political union. Residents of the Scottish Highlands, many of them Roman Catholic, were not happy, considering themselves disadvantaged by the Protestant English kings. Catholic Charles Edward Stuart also opposed the English Protestants, who had deposed his grandfather, King James II of England, in 1688. In 1745, Charles formed a “Jacobite” army consisting largely of Catholic Highlanders to retake the crown for himself and the Catholics. After early victories in Scotland and England, Charles, known as “Bonnie Prince Charlie,” retreated to the Highlands to rebuild his army and await support from Catholic France. He was pursued by forces loyal to Protestant King George II, commanded by the Duke of Cumberland. Over objections of his advisors, Charles engaged Cumberland in a moor near the Highland village of Culloden on April 16, 1746. In the lastever pitched battle on British soil, Cumberland’s forces annihilated the Jacobites in about an hour.
Charles escaped, finding his way to France and then Rome, but Cumberland showed his followers no mercy. He pillaged Highland homes and farms, killed wounded soldiers, and executed Jacobite supporters, earning him the title of “Butcher.” Parliament banned Highlanders not in the military from wearing clan tartans. A 19th century cairn erected on the Culloden Battlefield honors “the gallant Highlanders who fought for Scotland and Price Charlie.” Weathered stones mark mass graves where Highland soldiers were buried according to their clans. In 2007, 300 years after the merger of Scotland and England, the National Trust for Scotland added a visitors’ center to the battle site, featuring a 360-degree film that “relives the horror of the battle.” For Scottish nationalists, the Culloden Battlefield is holy ground, creating emotions akin to those some Americans experience at Gettysburg. For everyone else, the battlefield provides another lesson, learned all too often, of the role religious differences have played in history’s battles.

A new Anytime Fitness gym has opened in Noblesville at 14300 Mundy Dr., Suite 1200. Open 24/7, the gym features a staff of certified, personal trainers who work with cusnow open tomers throughout the day. “The customer experience is really important to us,” co-owner Jennifer Shagena said. “We want to do more than just sell someone a gym membership.” This is the third location Shagena has started up. She also started an Anytime Fitness in Beech Grove and at 71st and Binford Boulevard in Indianapolis. A Fishers resident, Shagena has worked for seven years at Anytime and 20 years in the fitness industry. She considers her co-workers a “family” that wants their members to succeed. “The worst thing you can do is just carry around that keychain (and not work out),” Shagena said. All enrollments happen on a face-to-face basis, Shagena said. After about 10 minutes of paperwork, the person’s picture is taken and he or she is uploaded into the database. Incoming members also receive an orientation on how to use the equipment. Once someone becomes a member, they have access to nearly 3,000 gyms worldwide. Anytime Fitness is always open, even though the staff leaves around 8 or 9 p.m. Each gym is
equipped with 12 to 17 security cameras, which monitor activity throughout the night, Shagena said. The door also has a “tailgate system,” which can sense if more than one person enters the gym on a single member’s key swipe. The cameras also contribute to the safety of those using the facility. The gym has panic buttons and 911 phones in case someone gets injured during the night. One of the most unique programs the Noblesville location offers is a procedure called Easy Slim, a non-invasive procedure that uses LED red lights to shear fat and reduce inches. Anytime is the first gym in Indiana to have this technology, Shagena said, and the first session is free for members. The presence of certified trainers during the day also makes Anytime Fitness unique, Shagena said. Their goal is to make the customers feel comfortable at the facility. Working out is tough, she admitted, and the hardest part is walking from one’s car to the entrance of the gym. The staff recognizes this and hopes to make the members feel welcome. “We want to know all of our customers,” Shagena said. “We want to know what their goals are and we want to know that they’re reaching them.” For more information, call 200-8613 or visit www.anytimefitness.com.

There’s a couple of cool his and her urban cruisers that I’ve been eyeing at a favorite bike shop. Very European in feel outdoors and design. Soft leather, comfortable spring seats with wheel-activated lighting and a lock built into the wheels. The shop manager wondered if this was a fall purchase or next year. He mentioned, most riders will often ride their way into late November, which gives us plenty of time to enjoy them. And prices typically escalate with next year’s models. Hmmm. Reminds me of our green industry dilemma and common conversations we have with likely clients wanting to improve their home or create an incredible outdoor living space. Hey, I get it. Why spend the money now when we can delay it for several months. Well, here are the top five reasons to move forward this fall/early winter with your dreamy project: 1. Ryan at Vive Exterior Design says “fall is a great time to plant as they are going into dormancy which gives them a kickstart for spring.” Trees and shrubs planted in the fall handle next seasons drought conditions infinitely better than those planted in the spring. 2. Fall weather is considerably more favorable/ predictable than spring prompting patio projects, lanais, fireplaces and pergolas to be installed more timely and under friendly conditions.

3. Wesley, the brilliant proprietor of Wesley’s Landscape and Lawncare, expanded… “Cost. Often, contractors are offering better deals going into late fall. If done in fall, the early spring enjoyment is awaiting.” As you can appreciate, costs typically don’t reduce as time progresses, especially during the spring frenzy. 4. Supply stream issues are avoided. Spring demand often results in supply constraints for plants, pavers, cedar, etc… 5. Seize the day.

Different flooring options for pet owners Commentary by David Decker Keeping your floors neat and tidy when there are furry members of the family living in your house can be a struggle. Beoutdoors tween the messes and the sharp toenails, some flooring materials won’t hold up well against damage from pets. If you are planning a remodel, installing kid and pet-friendly flooring may be a worthwhile investment. So whether you have dogs, cats or a combination of the two, here are a few of the hardiest flooring options on the market. Tile – Porcelain, stone or ceramic tile is a good choice if you’re looking for something that can hold up against wear and tear. Tile is scratch resistant, which is helpful if you are worried about pet claws damaging your floor. And any messes that occur can quickly and easily be mopped up without leaving permanent damage. Stain-resistant carpet – Just as the name implies, stain-resistant carpet is specially made carpet that repels dirt, liquids and other messes (including pet accidents). The most popular stain-resistant carpets are made from nylon that’s been infused with a special coating during the manufacturing process. There are also stain-resistant carpets made of wool, but that’s quite a bit pricier. One word of caution: be sure not to clean your stain-proof carpets with harsh chemicals, because this could damage their stain-fighting properties.
Dogs can do a lot of damage to any style of flooring, like scratches and urine stains, so flooring choices should reflect ease in cleaning and repair and the health of your family. (Submitted photo)
Vinyl flooring – Today’s vinyl designs are quite different from the vinyl of the past. There are many different designs to choose from, including options that mimic the look of hardwood flooring. Vinyl is scratch and stain resistant, low in allergens, easy to clean and even quiet to walk on. Laminate flooring – is a great choice for areas where there might be heavy amounts of pet foot traffic. Most laminate flooring is scratch, stain, and scuff proof, thanks to a protective top layer. Laminate is also fairly easy to clean.
You can wet, or dry mop the surface, as well as vacuum it when necessary. Green options – This is a new, environmentally friendly option that many homeowners may not have ever considered before. Bamboo is actually harder than hardwood flooring, which means than it will stand up to foot traffic. It is also stain-resistant and extremely durable: perfect for pet owners! Cork flooring is naturally antimicrobial, which means that it will reduce the amount of mold and other allergens in the room. Additionally, it’s scratch-resistant and holds up well against moisture. It also can absorb sound, which is always a plus for pet owners and parents. Were you surprised by any of the flooring options on the list? The best way to choose flooring is to analyze what types of things your family will be doing most frequently in that particular room. Then consider which type of material is going to be the most beneficial for all of the activities (and potential messes) that may occur there. Choose carefully and you’ll have flooring that enhances the room, and makes cleaning up after pets a breeze. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.
