Public safety – The Westfield Police Dept., in partnership with Hamilton County Emergency Management, received six Automated External Defibrillators for on-duty officers. Through the Urban Area Security Initiative Grant, a project was identified to ensure all law enforcement vehicles throughout Hamilton County had access to AEDs. Officials said officers have been identified as responders always in the field and having access to these vital capabilities will continue to provide an additional level of service to the community. “While we hope they never have to be used we can rest assure our highly trained officers are ready to assist where needed,” stated HCEM Director Thomas Sivak stated.

New business for the dogs By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Friends and dog lovers Lori Fricks and Renee Fritz have opened a new canine training, grooming and retail facility on the now open east side of Westfield. Positively Canine, which opened Oct. 1, is the result of Fritz and Fricks’ frustration of seeing so many dogs being punished for communicating their fear and stress to people. “It’s a place where it is stress free for people and animals,” said Fritz, a Noblesville resident. The store specializes in offering hard-to-find items for larger breeds. “We both have large dogs and there aren’t places that concentrate on items for big dogs or those that are destructive chewers. If you have a dog that chew up anything, we ask you to come here to help you find something,” Fritz said. “We have toys in smaller sizes, coats and costumes. Anything we carry for the little (breeds) we have for the big.” Fricks is the trainer and has been studying canine behavior for more than 20 years and locally training dogs for the last 13. “We are the only facility in Hamilton County offering Reactive Dog Classes for dogs that bark, growl or lunge at other dogs while on leash,” Fricks said. “There are classes for all age groups and skill levels.” Additional classes will be offered for puppies with no socialization skills, through beginner,

intermediate and advanced skills. Positively Canine also has a retail area that specializes in USA made, quality food, treats and products with many items crafted by local artisans “Most toys are made in the USA and many are locally made in Hamilton County,” Fritz said, adding leather chains and collars are made in Cicero and dog beds are from Carmel. “They’re products that I really liked and brought them here.”
The most important assets we have in this country are our young people. They will become our future leaders. This is why I have such a dedication to our school system and to your kids. This is a place where we can all make a difference that will continue for generations to come. I ask for your support in my next role as School Board Member At-Large. I understand the dedication of time and the commitment required to do the job well, and I will use all my skills to maintain and improve the great schools we have in Westfield.

Background/schooling (college & high school): Fishers High School and earned a bachelor’s in physical education (K-12) from Ball State. Why did you become a teacher?

What goals do you have for your students? My goal is to teach my students to demonstrate the ability at many different psychomotor skills, and to understand and apply the cognitive concepts that they understand
and can apply. I want them to find enjoyment through physical activity that will last a lifetime. What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? I would like my parents to stress the importance of exercise and nutrition. As families take time to participate at least 30 to 60 minutes a day in activity together. What is your favorite movie? “Moneyball.” Who is your favorite musician or band? I like all kinds of music. What’s something your students might not know about you? I am a huge baseball junkie. I coach an 18U baseball team and work for a high school baseball recruiting service called Prep Baseball Report.

Discussions of opening a domestic-violence shelter in Hamilton County have been on and off since beginning late last government year. At the time, preliminary plans were to raise approximately $5 million for a 30-bed facility serving women and children seeking refuge from abuse and in need of emergency housing. It was planned to be operated by not-for-profit Alternatives Inc., which runs a shelter in Anderson that currently assists Hamilton County residents. Hamilton County Commissioners President Christine Altman said when Alternatives left the project it was dead but it has since regained life. The county is working to create a 501c3 and partner with the Salvation Army, which is under Altman the umbrella of the United Way and its capital grants. “The shelter is not a dead issue,” said Altman. “The pull out of Alternatives was disappointing for all of us … We probably have a better project pairing up with a different partner.” Altman said officials are looking within Noblesville for an appropriate place for the shelter and have identified a few potential locations. “There is some property at Riverview (Health) that might come up that will be intriguing. Riverview property has facilities on it. I need to sit down with (Riverview CEO) Pat Fox,” she said,
Bruno Marini, children’s care manger, talks with a child at Alternatives in Anderson. (Submitted photo)
adding other areas include Field Drive and three acres next to the jail. Officials said there are currently a lot of unknowns with the domestic violence shelter but are hopeful to have one up and running in three years. “Alternatives is talking with the committee group about advice on design,” Altman said. “Alternatives definitely has needs there. It’s a great facility we might want to mirror.” If the project is partnered with the Salvation Army, Altman said the shelter would handle overflow for the entire state. “We’ll own the facility and contract with someone to run it,” she said.

minutes with Ann Day By Melissa Hicks Day is part owner of Day Furs in Carmel with her husband, Kevin Day. She has been a Westfield resident for 31 years. What is your favorite restaurant and why? The Local. I like it because they use products from local farmers and they have a really diverse menu. Have you had a boss, or colleague who you admired? If so why? I would say my husband, Kevin. He and I started the business together and Kevin apprenticed, while I was at Purdue, he apprenticed to be a furrier. So he didn’t have a formal education per say, because there’s no school that you can go to to learn how to be a furrier. Every time I do a fashion show or whatever I always say that I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for him, because we have based our business
model off of the experience he got from his apprenticeship. What do you do in your spare time? I like to read. I enjoy being with my family. I’m an HGTV addict, I love HGTV. What is your favorite type music? I like a little bit of everything. I like jazz, country, some classical and Christian music. I listen to K-LOVE radio. What do you like most about your community? I like the family owned businesses. Even though Westfield is a city now I still feel like it has that warm, close-knit feel to it. Five Minutes With is a recurring feature of Current in Westfield.

Community Planning Month On behalf of planners and volunteers, Westfield Economic and Community Development Assistant Director Jennifer Miller accepted the proclamation of October as Community Planning Month from Mayor Andy Cook. (Photo by Robert Herrington) As part of the Community Planning Month celebration, the participation and dedication of the members of the city council, advisory planning commission, redevelopment commission, board of zoning appeals, Grand Junction Task Group, Spring Mill Station Task Group, the council’s committee on ordinance revisions and all the individuals who have contributed their time and expertise to the improvement of the City of Westfield were publicly recognized. “Community planning provides an opportunity for all residents to be meaningfully involved in making choices that determine the future of their community,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “These are just citizens and business people, not bureaucrats. It’s the reason the city is where it is.”

Walk to school day
Westfield Mayor Andy Cook led a group of students to school as Oak Trace Elementary held its third annual Walk-To-School Day on Oct. 8. Students and parents gathered at 8 a.m. at the Countryside Subdivision Clubhouse, 250 E. 169th St, and walked the trails to Oak Trace. Joining them were Westfield Police Dept. officers and members of the school’s staff. “Walk-To-School Day is something our staff, parents and students look forward to every year,” stated Oak Trace Principal Robin Lynch. “Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is so important to us at Oak Trace Elementary; and what a better way to inspire kids to be more active, than utilizing the many miles of trails we have available to us in Westfield.” (Submitted photo)

Inaugural beard contest more than just facial hair, beer By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Just in time for the cool breeze of fall, the inaugural Beards & Brews Championship will heat up a battle of beards, many repdiversion resenting local breweries. The event will be held on from noon to 4 p.m. Nov. 1 in the Eighth Street and Maple Avenue parking lot in downtown Noblesville. Prior to the Nov. 1 championship, five Central Indiana brewing companies will host a preliminary beard contest at their brewery. Spokeswoman Keriann Rich said each of these participating breweries will invite interested con-
tenders to participate in their qualifying contest, naming a bearded representative in the following categories: Best of Show, Longest Beard, Thickest Beard and Most Creatively Groomed Beard. “Everybody uses the same criteria and concept. Each brewery will send four contestants to the championship,” Rich said. During the championship, a panel of judges will name an overall winner for each category for brewery contestants and public applause will determine the “walk up” contest. “This contest is not exclusive to those representing the participating breweries,” Noblesville Main Street Director Chris Owens said. “Anyone

DJ Helicon will provide music, Circle City Roller Derby Girls will have hourly demonstrations and there will be boutique shopping straight from the Retro 101 fashion bus. Nickel Plate Arts will be integrating unique and engaging experiences from a beard-making table to special local artist exhibits. “Noblesville is known for having an abundance of great events,” Owens said. “This one will be for those 21 years and older, which we feel adds to the diversity of our event offerings.”

Simple idea, small change Patrick Hester creates city’s first Little Libraries for Eagle Scout project
By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield’s public parks are a place where residents can mix outdoor recreation with reading, thanks to a local Eagle cover story Scout project by resident Patrick Hester. “You just hope it has longevity. It feels good you started it,” he said. Hester, 15, a member of Boy Scout Troop 107, is an avid reader and was looking for an idea for his Eagle Scout Project in the spring of 2013. His grandmother, Dixie Bendush, told him about the Little Free Library organization and similar projects in other communities. After some research on the organization’s website, Hester thought it would be a great project for the Westfield community. “I like the idea of people spending time at the libraries, meeting and talking,” the Westfield High School freshman said. Hester knew he wanted to place a few libraries as part of his project but as he talked with residents about the project, he recognized a need for more. “We do too much on our phones and electronics,” he said. “I hope it’s another way for people to meet and socialize instead of looking down at their phones all the time.” Hester has planted libraries in four locations, including two as part of the Westfield Parks and Recreation Dept. The first library, next to the south playground at Asa Bales Park, 211 N. Union St., has books written in English and Spanish. Hester said the Spanish books were a special request from Westfield Parks Director Melody Jones as a way of helping with the City of Westfield’s Hispanic Outreach. Hester said each location was specifically chosen for a reason. “The second is located at the Monon Trailhead off Greyhound Pass for all the walkers, runners and bikers that stop there for a rest,” he said. “The third is located on the patio at the Downtown Westfield Association on South Union Street, a busy walking area for many Westfield residents.” The final library is at the Bed and Biscuit Kennel Bark Park on West Ind. 32. The Bed and Biscuit is home for the Indy Great Pyrenees Rescue, which the Hester family has been part of for many years. “My family’s been involved the past six years and my brother did his Eagle Scout project
Fellow members of Boy Scout Troop No. 107 assisted Patrick Hester in building and installing four Free Little Libraries as part of his Eagle Scout project. Hester, an avid reader, came up with the idea in spring 2013 after talking with his grandmother. (Submitted photos)
there,” Hester said. The total cost of building the libraries was approximately $1,600, with funding being donated by family, friends and neighbors. The rest of the cost Hester made up for by working summers at Conner Prairie, where he pulled wagons for guests of the Symphony on the Prairie series in 2013 and 2014. To fill the libraries, Hester collected more than 750 books from family, friends, neighbors, members of his Boy Scout Troop and a generous donation of Spanish-written books from Half Price Books. “Each library can hold 15 to 30 hardcover and paperback books,” Hester said. “It started small. The first month there weren’t that many donations. Close to the start of the school year, I was
how it began Take a book; return a book … A simple idea created by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks in Wisconsin. It started as a project to pay tribute to Bol’s mother in 2009. The next year in 2010, with the help of Brooks the Little Free Library movement began with a network of libraries, stewards, signage, social support and World Wide Web registration. The two men had a goal of 2,510 installed libraries, one more than the number of public libraries Andrew Carnegie started in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By 2012 the little start-up became an official Wisconsin nonprofit organization. That same year, they surpassed their goal of 2,510 libraries. By January 2014 it is estimated that more than 15,000 Little Free Library sites have been registered across the world, but none in Westfield. For more information, visit www.littlefreelibrary.org.
receiving 20 to 30 every Monday. Four hundred of the 750 came in the last month. It really stepped up at the end.” Hester said the project itself more than 100 hours between the planning, fundraising, building and installation of the four libraries. For all of his work, Hester still sees this as a community initiative. “I would like to thank all the generous supporters of this project and the members of my Boy Scout Troop 107 for all the help building the libraries and installing them,” he said. While raising funds and finding approved locations were difficult, Hester said the hardest part of his project was the leadership it required. “It really showed me how hard it was to start something new,” he said. “You have to stand back. It’s all about leadership and tell them what to do so they can learn. It’s not just about me but the other Scouts. This isn’t a one-person project.”
Jim Hester serves as a troop leader for his son, Patrick, and his older brother, Riley, who is an Eagle Scout. “As a guy who barely made it out of Cub Scouts, it’s been really amazing to watch both of them grow – not just through their Eagle Scout Project but in general in scouting,” Jim said. “Patrick is a quiet kid. He was a little out of his comfort zone to tell people what to do. It was a big learning curve to see the other boys respond.” Jim described Patrick as “an avid reader” and isn’t surprised his project involved books or the library. “He read the final Harry Potter book in less than 24 hours and could recite it back to you,” he said. “It’s very rewarding to do something different. So many Eagle Scout projects are alike. It’s really neat to see something truly different.” Patrick has two merit badges to complete before his Eagle Board of Review, which he plans to complete before the end of this year. This year, Boy Scout Troop 107, which is chartered by Christ United Methodist Church in downtown Westfield, has had six scouts earn the rank of Eagle.
how it works How do you use a Little Free Library? Do you need a library card? Do you need to read the book right then and put it back. The answers are easy: Simply take a book from the library the next time. There are books written for adults and young readers. Read it there, read it at home or any place you like. The next time you are by the library drop the book back off or drop off a different book. Take a book, return a book.

FROM THE BACKSHOP
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
Charity begins … after taxation Here’s an eye-opener that sailed across the transom last week: Various reports indicate that although the income gap continues to widen, the richest among us are doling out less to not-for-profits while the lesser-advantaged and middle class are forking over larger shares of their incomes. All of this is courtesy of the Chronicle of Philanthropy, which did an all-encompassing analysis of IRS data (which we presume to be truthful). The Chronicle said Americans who earned $200,000 or more reduced the share they gave to charity by 4.6 percent from 2006 to 2012. Those earning less than $100,000 donated 4.5 percent more. Analysis was based on tax returns filed by Americans who itemize their deductions, including their charitable gifts. Rankings were compiled for states and metropolitan areas based on the ratio of contributions to adjusted gross income. Utah was the most generous, donating $65.60 to charity for every $1,000 earned. Indiana was 17th, donating $32.60 for every $1,000 earned in 2012. That was up from $31.70 in 2006. Indianapolis ranked fifth among metro areas in the fastest-growing generosity category. Indy-area residents donated an average of $32.20 out of every $1,000 earned in 2012, up 5.2 percent since 2006. It’s funny that there was no mention of any potential impact the higher tax rates for the wealthy may have had. We wonder what those charities have to say about how President Barack Obama, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) believe it’s more important to send money to Washington instead of to the not-for-profits. ••• You’ve received Current a day late because the U.S. Postal Service was closed for Columbus Day on Oct. 13.

No hicks or rednecks here Commentary by Terry Anker As the initial draft of this column is written, we are careening down the highway returning from a highly successful Indy Chamber Leadership Exchange with the City of Nashville, Tenn. Certainly, these trips afford much learning about the specifics of how another community manages to pay for stadiums, deal with crime and a plethora of other matters. And as important as the many PowerPoints and classes attended, the exchanges allow for much deeper connections to be formed with members of our own delegations. Time together away from the routine of daily life, permits a more clear-headed and attentive interaction. Having been privileged to participate in more than a handful of these kinds of conversations these many decades, some common themes emerge. Economic development is difficult and must be pursued with a steady and innovative hand. Education is difficult and must be pursued with a steady and innovative hand. Public safety is difficult and must be pursued with a steady and innovative hand.
But also, the way in which a community conceives of itself matters. Many were eager to claim that Nashville is not for rednecks. What we saw supported this supposition. I was reminded of the many encounters with our own community leaders who seemed to start each conversation that “Indianapolis is not for hicks.” Likewise, this supposition is correct. But why do we, both great towns, start our dialogue from a defensive posture? The first day of law school, promptly after we are taught how to bill in six-minute increments, we are instructed that whoever frames the issue wins the case. Experience has proven this right over and again. Could we create an impression of our home that asserts who we believe we are instead of defending against who others might imagine us to be? Is a good offense the best defense? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become.
– Mark Twain
It was late on a Thursday night. I had just gotten home after giving a speech in Covington, Ind. I pulled into the garage about 11, tired and thirsty. The garage door humor closed behind me and I exited the car, entering the house through the kitchen door. Mary Ellen was asleep upstairs. I went into the bedroom. I undressed, but before putting on my sleeping shorts, I decided to run downstairs, let the dog out the back door for a few minutes and grab a small bottle of fruit juice from the garage fridge. I retrieved the drink and turned the knob to re-enter the house. The knob refused to budge. “That can’t be,” I said to myself. “That door is always left unlocked. No way.” And no clothes, either. I panicked, banging on the door with both fists, bellowing Mary Ellen’s name. There was no response. Our bedroom door was closed; the ceiling fan was whirring. On a scale from one to 10, in order to be heard I would need to make a disturbance that was a four. On the Richter scale. My cell phone was in the car! If I called the home phone, that would surely get Mary Ellen’s attention. It rang and rang but there was no answer. It went to voicemail. Out of habit, I left a message: “Hello, Mary Ellen. If you get this, I’m in the garage with no clothes on. When you have a moment, could you come downstairs and let me in?” The back door of the house was unlocked because I had let the dog out. All I had to do was sneak around and go through the entrance on the deck. At that moment, I began to fully appreciate what my wife goes through when we plan an evening out. I needed to give some serious consideration to my wardrobe. But what was appropriate for this occasion? I had two choices: A lovely 40-gallon black garbage bag or the 34-gallon clear plastic bags. I look terrible in black, but the other option seemed, well, redundant. Instead, I just opened the garage door and made my way along the side of the house; then as I neared the backyard, I bolted toward the deck, up the steps and into the living room. The next morning I decided not to tell Mary Ellen what happened.But I had forgotten about that voicemail. She called me from work later. “Dick, I just listened to the oddest message. Apparently, last night, about the time you were supposed to get home, there was a naked man in our garage. Now, who in heaven’s name could that have possibly been?” “I haven’t the slightest idea, Mary Ellen.”

Car-pool rules essential Commentary by Danielle WIlson I can’t believe at this point in my parenting career that I have to write a whole column on this, but frankly I’m surprised I’ve never humor covered it before. I’m speaking, obviously, of car pool line etiquette. For you amateur pick-up drivers out there, please take note. I beg of you! This mom’s already-fragile sanity won’t withstand many more parking-lot shenanigans. Recognize that there is a car pool line. Every time, for every event. If you don’t see it immediately upon arrival, bully for you! This means that you are the first, and as such, will be despised by pretty much everyone else. But as long as you don’t set up shop 50 yards behind the designated “pick-up” zone and instead pull to three car lengths ahead, you’ll at least earn a smidgeon of respect. Don’t forget to turn off the engine! Your gas-guzzling SUV poisons my kid’s air when you sit idling for 15 minutes. For the normal parent who arrives within a reasonable window of the targeted time, simply go to the end of the line and be careful not to block parked cars, entrances and exits, or oncoming traffic. [I’ve actually seen this happen. What an idiot.] Occasionally you’ll be required to execute a U-turn to join in; please do so with competence. If it takes you 23 moves, you waive your spot and any able driver may legitimately take your position. It’s a tough break, my friend,
but efficiency is of utmost importance in “The Line.” Pay attention! These things can move like lightening once kids begin emerging. You need to be ready to pull forward at a moment’s notice. If you’re texting your best gal pal about brunch tomorrow and miss your cue, I will honk at you. Have your doors unlocked and preferably open so as to expedite loading. Instruct your passengers to dive into the van as soon as you slow down. Speed is important at this juncture; there’s no time for storing backpacks in the trunk or gingerly setting violins down in the back seat. Rock and roll, people! I have places to be and your slow-moving child is not helping. Do not start a conversation with the teacher or other parents out your window! I sat behind someone the other day for two minutes while she yucked it up with the adult helper (and her offspring struggled to get the trunk open [see #4]). My well-trained daughter was standing by at the ready, but I couldn’t get to her because Social Butterfly was enjoying a chat. Car pool lines are a necessary evil, but they don’t have to be a nightmare if you just follow the rules! Peace out.

No demand, no need, no more taxes Commentary by John Accetturo
I just don’t understand why the mayors of Carmel, Westfield, and Noblesville are such big advocates of spending billions opinion on a mass transit system for Hamilton County. The bus service currently being provided from Fishers and Carmel to Indianapolis has not attracted many riders and recently was subsidized by Fishers and Carmel taxpayers so it can survive until year end. If a city of more like 80,000 people like Carmel can only generate less than 60 riders for bus service to Indianapolis, how can Hamilton County support a mass transit system that will cost billions? These mayors have failed to consider facts about the workforce and commute time to determine if a need exists for a mass transit system. First of all, well over 50 percent of all workers today are women. According to most studies these same women are the major caretakers for children. So how are they going to get back to Hamilton County quickly and back to work to support doctor appointments, sports participation, and after-school activities using mass transit? Secondly, the commute to downtown Indianapolis is less than 40 minutes even in rush hour. So where are these prime caretakers going to get the extra time needed to drive to a transit station and for the mass transit ride time into Indianapolis? They have no extra time. Thirdly, with
flex hours at almost all working locations, how can you accommodate the need to go in both directions at all times? Finally, there is a major trend for working at home which will continue to reduce the need to commute in any fashion. These same mayors say businesses need a way for their employees to get to work locations in Hamilton County. However they fail to support the concept of businesses paying for some of the cost of a mass transit system. If businesses need a mass transportation system to transport their workers to Hamilton County, they should pay for it. The cost to operate mass transit system once the equipment is purchased is another issue. IndyGo only produces about 18 percent of the revenue needed from riders, while taxes ($33 million in 2013) made up 50 percent of their annual revenue. We have already seen several venues built in Hamilton County which require millions in taxpayer subsidies each year to operate. We don’t need another one. In conclusion, I just don’t understand why the mayors and other elected officials like County Commissioner (Christine) Altman are denying the reality of the situation. It just makes no sense.

The art of a democratic orchestra
By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestfield.com
Our most common image of a symphony orchestra usually focuses on the conductor: a commanding figure, wielding a white baton, standing at the center of everyone’s attention on a podium. He or she not only music keeps all the musicians playing together, presumably, but also shapes the audience’s listening experience by drawing from the ensemble an attractive realization of the composer’s musical ideas. Swimming against the tide of this durable image for more than four decades is the conductor-less Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, which makes its Palladium debut Oct. 18. A pianist, not a conductor, will be in the spotlight: Jonathan Biss, a Bloomington native now enjoying an international career and a veteran Orphenus collaborator. Otherwise, the audience will be taking in what Orpheus has collectively come up with on its own in works by Beethoven, Poulenc, Rossini and Zwilich. Like Biss, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich has some Hoosier connections, though not as deeply rooted: She wrote the first new piece ever played by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra in its home, the renovated Circle Theatre, in 1984. And last month she sat on the jury of the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, at which 16 semifinalists played her specially commissioned Fantasy for Solo Violin. For most of its existence so far, the Orpheus followed its original model of full dialogue on everything it did artistically. It became unwieldy, but the 30-odd-member ensemble was not about to discard its core principle: that a large ensemble can forge its own destiny in performance without a conductor. It developed a more orderly procedure for channeling member input. Then, according to executive director Krishna Thiagarajan, the Great Recession of the last decade threw Orpheus for a loop, with its effects really sinking in about 2011, casting doubt on the model it had pioneered. He took the job in 2013. “In previous soul-searching, it was the decision not to tour as much,” he
explained. “I felt strongly that we as an organization have to have our home in New York but also need to have presence throughout the U.S. and abroad,” where Tokyo, Berlin and Vienna have been Orpheus’ strongest centers of support after New York. The solution was to find ways to tour more and be creative about holding down travel expenses: getting back home from a tour as quickly as possible, for example. “It’s not a management-versus-musician position,” Thiagarajan continued. The goal is “maximizing the time onstage” while reducing offstage costs. The Orpheus method has been applied on request to other organizations, some of them non-musical. An accounting firm in Japan and an agricultural college in Alberta, Canada, are just two recent examples among many who’ve picked Orpheus’ brain about the benefits of democratic leadership. But is every Orpheus member ready to be a leader, even those who may be pleased to work collectively without a conductor? And do some egos feed too eagerly on not having a boss? “This has been an extraordinary eyeopener for me,” Thiagarajan replied. “I would have expected that if there’s a lot of freedom, you need a very firm hand at the top. But when you lay the choices out in the right way, they have often taken the right decision. If you give people the opportunity to do the right thing, they will take it. “You have to have many quiet conversations,” Thiagarajan said with deliberate emphasis. “But it makes for some good sleeping at night.”
Beethoven, Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor; Poulenc, Sinfonietta; Zwilich, Prologue and Variations; Rossini, Overture to The Marriage Contract. Who: Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, with piano soloist Jonathan Biss. When: 8 p.m. Oct. 18. Where: The Palladium, 355 City Center Dr., Carmel.

A performance for philanthropy By Holly Demaree • news@currentinwestfield.com
“Les Miserables” is known for its large cast and the strong vocal elements it uses to tell the story about Jean Valjean’s life. theater Grace Church, 5504 E. 146th St., Noblesville, and its satellite campus, Grace Church-Fishers, have decided to take on the challenge and produce “Les Miserables” in the hopes of raising money for two local nonprofit organizations: Hands of Hope and Safe Families. Both organizations help children find a safe place whether it be for a safe place during a crisis or adoption. Grace Church has put on productions in the past such as “The Sound of Music” and To “To Kill a Mockingbird” but never anything as large as “Les Miserables.” “The story itself was appealing to us, it’s a story we want people to hear and we also value the arts and artists,” said director Amy Christie. “It’s exciting to us that we can create a show with so many people with multiple generations. There is such a mix of age in our show and there is something really cool when all of these people of different ages come together.” Open auditions were held so members of the community could also be involved as well as the members of Grace Church. A total of 150 people auditioned and 116 were cast. Every person involved in the production is a volunteer. “It is a huge effort from a lot of people,” Chris-
tie said. “Many are doing it for the sheer love of God and the show and being able to serve god through this.” The main reason for creating the production is to raise money for local charities. However, Christie said she hopes the cast and crew realize it is more than just being applauded for a great performance and the creation of a beautiful set, but also from a service stand point. “Just like somebody serving our church, working with our children or serving through a different capacity, no matter what you are doing it is a service for God,” Christie said. “This is coming together to serve our Lord. So I hope that people walk away feeling well and the feeling of bonding with each other and that their relationship with God has deepened.” Tickets are $7. Performances, which are open to the community, are 7 p.m. Oct. 23, 24, 26, 30 and 31; 8:30 p.m. Oct. 25 and Nov. 1; and 2 p.m. Oct. 26 and Nov. 2.

Amy’s top picks for Heartland Commentary by Amy Pauszek Here are more of my picks for the Heartland Film Festival. The festival runs Oct. 16 through 25 at theaters around Indianapolis. movies “I’M WITH PHIL” A fun and moving feature length documentary concerning a series of events that transpire in a small Alabama town called Phil Campbell. Phil Campbell of Brooklyn, sets out on a journey to find the town after he learns of the existence through an episode of “Hee Haw.” Phil turns to the internet and organizes a convention in the town for all the other people in the world that share the name of Phil Campbell. Directed by Andrew Reed and with a cast of real life Phil Campbells, this documentary film will open your eyes and warm your heart. “THE HEALING WALL” Written and directed by Indiana native /Ball State graduate Christopher Kosinski, this is a must-see power driven documentary feature film about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Their story. Her design. A nation’s memorial. The story is about the development of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. and its unforeseen ability to heal a nation from one of the most controversial conflicts of history. This film is part of the Special Indiana Spotlight Presentation and will be shown with two other local films “Three Months” and “We’ll Be Alright.” Be sure to add “The Healing Wall” to your list of must-see films, it is an eye opener and Kosinski does it justice. “AUDREY MAKES A MIXTAPE” I screened and fell in love with “Audrey Makes a Mixtape” a short film by the hip writer/director James Mackenzie. Mackenzie knows how to bring life to the typical teen issue of how to snag the most popular boy in high school. Set in 1988, Audrey has the perfect plot ... a blank cassette tape. Sound corny or a bit off? Not at all when this delightful story unfolds as she hopes to save her crush from losing his virginity to the queen bee.
“DRUNKTOWN’S FINEST” Life on an Indian reservation can often feel like a dead end for many of the residents. This film captures and represents a variety of lifestyles that are often misunderstood in such a closeknit community. Three young Native Americans, an adopted Christian girl, a rebellious father-tobe, and a promiscuous transexual, are forced to deal with their identities and must confront these perceptions. They play out against the backdrop of the traditional values of the reservation which both constrains and supports them. Nizhoniis is a traditional college student trying to find her place in the world. I loved this film because it was real — it makes one try to understand a culture that is rich with tradition and pride. A film that will make the audience think about life and how we all strive to be something or someone. This film confronts viewers with the reality of life on the reservation, the staleness that make people want to leave and the power unity that keeps so many there. “GABOR” “Gabor” is the very powerful documentary story of a friendship between a young filmmaker and a blind cinematographer, Sebas and Gabor. Sebas has been commissioned to make a documentary on the work of Ulls Del Mon, a nongovernmental organization dedicated to the prevention of blindness that wants to promote the work it is carrying out in El Alto, Bolivia. Sebas recalls his cameraman told him a story about Gabor, a cinematographer who had gone blind. Gabor, a Hungarian filmmaker residing in Spain, has been making a living from his film camera rental company ever since he went blind on a shoot eight years ago. 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. You can find Amy flying around town with her cape in tow on FaceBook and Twitter. (@WonderWomanAmyP )
Sweet Honey arrives Oct. 19
By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com Grammy-nominated, African American, all-female a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock tour Oct. 19 at the Center for the Performmusic ing Arts, 355 City Center Dr. The group, famous for their mix of a cappella, world and jazz stylings will be playing a host of their classic hits, both old and new. Individual members also will perform solo numbers, sharing their intimate stories and personal experiences encompassing the four decades the group has played. Sweet Honey in the Rock first began after founding member Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon was arrested for her actions as a civil rights political activist. The political power of music was embedded in her mind from then on. The group would form in its first incarnation in 1973.
Sweet Honey in the Rock member Shirley Childress Saxton also provides American Sign Language for deaf attendees. The intent is to both visually and aurally represent the depth of their music, so disadvantaged listeners may be able experience the world of music in their own way, Saxton wrote in a 1999 songbook publishing. Current member Aisha Khalil includes dance numbers in her performance. “I’m kind of a natural dancer. It’s a matter of natural force,” Khalil said. Sweet Honey in the Rock has also performed all over the globe, including locations such as Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Attendees will also be able to hear “She-Rocks 5 Radio,” a unique presentation featuring the group’s most revered songs. For more information, visit, www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

LIvE MUSIC
By Maria Leichty • news@currentzionsville.com Dining at Patrick’s Kitchen & Drinks can mean many things. Food wise, it can mean restaurants a cup of the Brick Street blonde chili slurped down before a round of the braised pork shanks followed by an original recipe of the chocolate volcano. Restaurant wise, it could mean sitting on a patio surrounded by flowers, trees, and the quaint vibe of Zionsville’s Main Street. It could also mean waking up to a hot plate of the owner’s personal favorite, pecan French toast glazed with Indiana maple syrup, in the comfort of your own room. Patrick’s and Brick Street Inn are co-tenants at 175 S. Main St. and are quite the pair. Patrick Mullen and Beth Dickerson started the restaurant in the Boone Village Shopping Center. In 2011, they moved to its current location on Main Street. The transition happened in 11 days. “We danced, we held hands, then we got married,” Mullen said. “There was no period of adjustment.” In 2012, the venue caught fire and had to close for a five-month period. Two years later, Mullen said Patrick’s has higher sales each year, but that is not his main focus. “Every day, you can make 225 people’s days

better than before they encountered you,” Mullen said. “And hopefully, they buy some things so you can pay the rent.” The downtown restaurant is smaller than the previous location with 48 seats inside and 24 outside. They originally planned for a more family style restaurant but now entertain fewer guests at a time with later night sales. Chef Douglas Scott Rawlings II has been at Patrick’s for more than a year now. “It’s amazing the amount we produce out of a smaller space,” Rawlings said. “The kitchen is a little larger than a food truck.” Rawlings provides the twists to the comfort food which Patrick’s boasts on its website. He said some dishes he’ll cook Caribbean style and some French style. His suggestions include the different meat selections. “The pork shanks are absolutely huge and the rib eye is absolutely killer,” Rawlings said. Rawlings and Dickerson collaborate on many recipes. Dickerson’s 2007 originals include a spinach and artichoke torta which Mullen says tastes like a “savory cheesecake” and the chocolate volcano with a Belgian Callebaut. Patrick’s Kitchen & Drinks is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturdays, and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays.

An Invitation from Artist Nancy Noel Join me for an Open House October 18th Nancy’s art is loved worldwide, from the prestigious National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, to a remote village in Africa; Noel’s work has no boundaries and has inspired millions. She is arguably the most celebrated and prolific American Contemporary Impressionist living today. It is not only her stunning and thought provoking images which make her an exceptional artist, but the effect her work has on people that sets her apart. – Jane Jimison, Director of Sales & Customer Service For the past eight years, I have been blessed to own The Sanctuary Gallery, a few miles from my farm/studio in Zionsville. The Sanctuary is a surprisingly unassuming 18th century Victorian church on Main Street. This spectacular setting has been the primary home to my most comprehensive collection of paintings. It is here I have realized my true potential as an artist. It is because of the Sanctuary that it is time to leave the comfort and convenience of this extraordinary space.
This year I have made the difficult decision to move my paintings to a new location that would provide greater challenges and international exposure. Several cities have been considered, from NY to LA. At the moment, I have my sights set on Aspen. Admittedly, a country girl, I am pulled toward higher ground, both personally as well as professionally. I am a consummate creative. For me to stop painting or planning the vision for my next move, would be like stopping my heart. If you have not had the opportunity to see the Sanctuary, whether you are interested in the extraordinary, unique iconic building in downtown Zionsville, or my work, now would be a good time. It is my hope that whoever the new owner will be, that they too will realize their full potential here; as I have. – N.A. Noel, Artist

Your family’s little ghosts and goblins will have the chance to make a difference on Nov. 3 with Martine Dentistry at Stonegate in Zionsville and Operation Gratitude’s Candy Buy giving Back program. Kids can bring in their sugarcoated earnings from the spooky October holiday to the office on East Stonegate Drive between 4 and 6 p.m. A dollar will be paid back for every pound delivered, with a cap at $10 for the truly dedicated trick-or-treaters. Now in its sixth year of participation, Martine Dentistry has raised an impressive 1,100 pounds of Halloween joy over the span of half a decade. “All the candy collected is shipped to Operation Gratitude in California, which then dispenses it to servicemen and women everywhere around the world,” office manager Marti Taylor said. “Though they may eat it themselves, they use it primarily as goodwill for the children in the areas that they’re stationed in.” Operation Gratitude, which the office became involved with when Dr. Martine discovered it in a dental magazine, collects and distributes care packages to U.S. service members abroad. Their Halloween-themed Candy Buy Back program in partnership with dentist offices across the nation collects the titular sweets as well as dental hygiene products and letters for the service members.
Resmer Orthodontics, 16000 Prosperity Dr., Suite 500, Noblesville, will host a Halloween candy buy back from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 3. Turn in your unopened Halloween Candy and the dentist office will pay $2 per pound. The unopened candy will be sent to the U.S. troops worldwide. You do not have to be a patient to participate. For more information, call 774-8480.
On the day of the Buy Back, Taylor, Martine, and other staff members work to weigh the candy and distribute the earnings, not only saving the kids a couple of potential cavities from the holiday, but also making someone’s day around the globe. “It’s really fun to have the kids come in and see the numbers because they have no idea until you put the candy on the scale,” Taylor said. “A lot of them do reach the $10 maximum. We have some kids who won’t even take the money because they just want to donate their candy for a good cause.”

Testimonial
from Edward Hauser
Mr. Ed Hauser admitted to Carmel Health & Living from Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana on July 3rd, 2014. He was in a serious car accident resulting in multiple severe injuries including, a fractured left hip, bladder displacement, liver laceration, sternal fracture and pelvic fractures. Upon admission he suffered from severe pain and swelling which greatly limited his ability to participate in therapy or even get out of bed. The staff worked with Mr. Hauser on pain control and relaxation techniques to help make going to therapy possible. Once he had better pain management, he was able to make great strides in therapy. He became independent with transfers, bed mobility, and car transfers using Carmel Health and Living’s in house model car, specifically made to assist with this type of challenge. Working with Mr. Hauser’s health insurance and orthopedic team, we were able to obtain all needed equipment to ensure a safe discharge to home. He was able to return home on August 8th, 2014, and is continuing to make progress at this time.

Options at full retirement age Commentary by Joel Harris
To some Americans, the idea of retiring from their job is not the most ideal situation when they reach full retirement age. finance Some might need to continue to work to add to their retirement savings, while others choose to work because they enjoy interacting with their co-workers and would get bored if they retired. If you find yourself in this situation and wondering whether or not you should file for your Social Security benefits while you’re still working, I will share an idea that you might consider. Dave and Julia both enjoy their jobs and want to work into their late 60s, early 70s. Dave is currently 66 and at full retirement age based on Social Security rules. His Social Security benefit at full retirement age is $2,600 per month based on his earnings history. Julia will reach full retirement age of 66 in April 2016, at which time her benefit will be $1,600 per month. Dave is delaying his benefits because he wants to take advantage of the annual 8 percent simple interest growth to his benefits until he reaches the age of 70. Julia on the other hand wants to continue working past full retirement age, but instead of getting delayed retirement credits on her benefits, she thinks it will be best to start her $1,600 when she reaches her full retirement age 18 months from now. Fast forward to April 2016 when Julia has turned 66 and is now considered to be full retirement age. Most people in Julia’s position will elect their own benefits, which in this example is $1,600 per month. Is there a different strategy available to Julia outside of just taking her own
benefit at 66? Yes, Julia can take advantage of spousal benefits at age 66, where she is eligible for up to half of Dave’s benefit which is $1,300 per month. Why in the world would Julia consider taking $1,300 in spousal benefits vs. her full amount of $1,600 per month? Well, in this example, Julia’s own benefit of $1,600 per month will grow 8 percent simple interest every year until the age of 70 if she elects to take the spousal benefit. One important caveat is that Dave needs to file for his benefits first before she elects spousal benefits. Since he still wants his own benefit to grow until 70, he decides to file and immediately suspend his benefits at 68, which in turn gives Julia the opportunity to file for spousal benefits. Since Julia decides to take the $1,300 spousal benefit, her own benefit will grow from $1,600 to $2,112 at age 70. Furthermore, since Dave filed and suspended his benefits at 68, his $2,600 benefit will grow to $3,432 at age 70. In this example, Julia and Dave gave up $300 per month by electing spousal benefits at Juila’s full retirement age vs. electing her own benefit, but received a very large bump in benefits at 70 by switching to her benefit that has grown under the delayed retirement benefits provision. Additionally, if Dave dies before Julia, she will have the ability to switch from her own benefit to Dave’s benefit of $3,432 under the surviving spouses provision.

DISPATCHES New patient care options in Fishers – Doctors Direct, 13578 E. 131st St., Suite 101, Fishers, is a first-of-itskind medical clinic in Indiana. Located in the Bonn Building in the Saxony area, Dr. Derek Murphy’s goal is to take care of the community’s mind, body, and spirit while eliminating the unpredictability of the business side of medicine. “After feeling burned out by seeing the volume trend in medicine of getting people in an out, I knew I wanted to open a different kind of practice,” he said. “I wanted to go back to being a patient advocate and really get one-on-one time with those I treat.” To allow more time for patient conversations, Murphy’s office books only 16 half-hour internal medicine appointments each day. Acute immediate care patients are also welcome. “Our focus is trying to get better health care access to patients of all backgrounds by focusing on transparency, availability, and accessibility,” Murphy said. “We are perfect for the nearly 20 percent of the population with a large deductible. We work perfectly to complement the individuals that still have solid health care packages. We are also a great option for the uninsured people in our community.” For more information, visit www.doctorsdirectsaxony.com

Why on earth would anyone spend hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars on custom drapery when window treatments decorating can be purchased already made? After all, who would know the difference? Once you understand what you are purchasing and once you have seen custom window treatments, you will begin to recognize the difference. Cost is typically the issue that sends a homeowner running for drapery sold at a bedding or home store. While the pre-fabs can, at first blush, seem lighter on the wallet, it is not always the case when all factors are considered. While custom will not be for everyone, an awareness of the whole picture will help determine which avenue is best. Quality of workmanship and the variety of fabrics available for custom makes that option a clear-2cut winner. The textiles, trims, combinations and styling available are limited only by imagination. Accessing the abundance of fabric allows a homeowner to coordinate with the room thus creating an overall look that is pulled together. If these are important factors, readymade is out of the question. Custom window treatments are a clear-cut loser when it comes to timing. Custom can require as much as four to eight weeks for
fabrication while immediate gratification makes ready-made a winner. Ready-made window treatments are the underdog when it comes to lining. If it is lined, the lining is typically poor quality. Custom drapery is always lined with a UV protective lining. Quality lining gives drapery treatments greater body and extends the life of the investment in drapery fabric. Interlining is often added to provide a rich, full appearance. Also, it provides insulation and has a beneficial impact on heating and cooling bills. If the fabrics have a pattern, the pattern will most likely not appear in the same location on each panel in ready-made. Custom is just that – custom, so no matter what width you need, your panels will be sewn together and patterns will not be interrupted or broken. Ready-made are notorious for coming in short on length. A window that is shrouded by drapery that fall a few inches short would be better off without any window treatment at all. The winner and loser between custom and ready-made really has to be determined by the total picture of client situation and needs rather than the impression of cost savings.

The Mall, leading to Buckingham Palace (Photo by Don Knebel)
The Mall of London Commentary by Don Knebel Early in the 20th century, residents of London developed a case of street envy. Their 25,000 streets did not include a single one Travel like Avenue des Champs-Élysées or Pennsylvania Avenue that was suitable for ceremonial parades. Their remedy for this deficiency eventually became associated with shopping. Before Londoners longed for a parade street, they had played a lawn game called “pall mall” or simply “mall” on a grassy alley running east from Buckingham Palace. When the game lost popularity in the 18th century, the alley became a tree-lined walkway called “the Mall,” pronounced like the first syllable in “mallet.” The Mall proved to be the ideal location for a parade route. So, in 1911, architect Sir Aston Webb remodeled the east façade of Buckingham Palace to be more attractive and erected a statue memorializing Queen Victoria on the palace grounds to anchor a broad new street named “the Mall.” A proper parade street requires an anchor on both ends. After all, the Champs-Élysées connects the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe and Pennsylvania Avenue connects the Capitol and the White House. To provide the Mall an east-
ern anchor, Webb designed the Admiralty Arch straddling the Mall, with three wide archways allowing access to Trafalgar Square just beyond. Befitting a monument honoring seafarers, the Admiralty Arch, completed in 1912, was located exactly .5 nautical miles (.58 statute miles) from the Queen Victoria Memorial. During ceremonial occasions, rows of Union Jacks flank the Mall from Buckingham Palace to the Admiralty Arch. In the 1950s, iron oxide particles were added to the Mall’s pavement to suggest a red carpet rolled out from Buckingham Palace. The Mall is closed to traffic on Sundays, holidays and ceremonial occasions. As time passed, “mall” came first to mean an area free of automobiles and then, pronounced like the first syllable in “wallet,” a North American shopping center. In 2011, the English government sold the Admiralty Arch to developers, who are converting it into a five-star hotel. For the next coronation or royal wedding, a west-facing room in the 100room hotel should be the hottest ticket in town. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Five simple behavior modifiers to help itchy dogs Commentary by John Mikesell Five things to do when your dog chews, licks, or scratches: 1. Take your dog to the veterinarian for a checkup. Nothing you do to address the dog’s behavior will be of much use if your dog itches as a result of environmental allergies or some other medical condition. If you treat the medical condition, the licking and chewing may stop. If not, it’s become a behavioral issue. 2. Identify your dog’s stressors. The behavioral cause of self-licking and chewing is stress. The stress from a medical condition may persist even after treatment, and learned licking/chewing behavior may persist even after medical stress is gone. Refer to the last column on stress, for more ideas. Many other stressors can also cause licking and chewing, especially in dogs who
are genetically predisposed to compulsive oral behaviors. Large breeds such as the Doberman Pinscher, Great Dane, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, and Irish Setter are most commonly affected. 3. Remove stressors. There are several strategies you can use to remove stressors from your dog’s list: • Get rid of it. Throw away the shock collar – in fact, avoid using aversive actions as much as possible. • Treat medical conditions: alleviate chronic pain medications, provide dental care, and address anything else that might be physi-

cally troubling your dog. • Live with it. We all live with some stress. Identify the most minimal stressors and just let them be. 4. Increase your dog’s exercise. Aerobic exercise not only burns energy your dog would use to fret (and lick), but also causes the release of feel good endorphins that help alleviate stress. Mental exercise – shaping, interactive toys – can also help. 5. Utilize stress-reduction products. There are many good products on the market that purport to alleviate stress. • “Through a Dog’s Ear.” Calming classical music selected and clinically tested to reduce a dog’s heart rate, available on CD or mp3. • Thundershirt or Anxiety Wrap that holds the dog tightly, similar to swaddling. You can also use an old T-shirt as long as it has a tight fit.

• Comfort Zone /Dog Appeasing Pheromone. Synthetic substance that supposedly mimics the pheromones emitted by a mother dog while she is nursing puppies, with the biological effect of calming the puppies. If it is a food-related allergy, it takes from two to four weeks before you would see a difference. It is definitely a trial-and-error method, but in the long run easier for the dog. The dog’s largest organ, just like humans, is their skin. Scratching and digging are signs of either airborne or flea-related allergies. This has been a particular bad year for fleas, and they are hard to find on long-haired dogs, so be watchful for those little buggers.

Using cosmetic upgrades to modernize kitchen, family room Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING KITCHEN: Located on beautiful lot south of Indianapolis, the original 17-year-old kitchen and family room blueprint for left little to be desired. improvement “We were so tired of the old ’90s design. Each room had a gimmicky theme. We were ready for something more contemporary with a rustic edge.” CABINET MODIFICATIONS: The original perimeter cabinets were still in great shape and functioned well in their existing locations; however, they needed cosmetic upgrades to modernize the space. The perimeter cabinets were painted eggshell with a Pewter Glaze. New pull handles in a brushed satin nickel finish were installed and a new farmhouse style sink installed in the modified base cabinet. The microwave was replaced with a higher-end vent hood. EXPANDED ISLAND & LIGHTING: The original island was replaced with a larger island in a contrasting espresso color. The new island offers more space for seating, storage and also houses the microwave. Three pendant lights in an oiled bronze finish were installed above the island making it the main focal point. GRANITE COUNTERTOPS & KITCHEN BACKSPLASH: Pairing perfectly with the newly painted cabinets, black pearl suede granite countertops were installed on the perimeter cabinetry. Com-
before & after
RESULT: “Being entertainers, we are thrilled to host our friends and family in our newly remodeled kitchen and family room. Of the entire space, we love the island countertop the most and can’t wait to show it off.”
pleting the two-toned look, contrasting granite in a pergaminho color was selected for island countertop. Larger format 3 inches x 6 inches tiles called Catania Blanco were selected for the kitchen backsplash for the desired rustic look. FAMILY ROOM FIREPLACE WALL: “Our original fireplace had a very cold look to it with the large white tiles. It didn’t give off a very warm and cozy feeling.” To warm up the space, the tile was removed and replaced with a multi-color stacked stone. The fireplace wall was then painted deep green creating a breathtaking feature wall in the family room.
