Planners approve Lake Village, CVS store By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Advisory Plan Commission grouped for its second meeting of the month at 7 p.m. Oct 19. The next meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 2 at City Hall, 130 Penn St. What happened: The plan commission approved three commercial lots in the Grand Park Village PUD District. Why it matters: The plat of the Lake Village section in the Grand Park Village PUD is bordered by 186th Street, Grand Park Boulevard and Wheeler Road. Since a previous public hearing where there were no comments, the petitioner worked with staff and the plat was fully compliant with all ordinances.
What happened: The plan commission approved a waiver regarding the construction of 134 single-family homes in the Chatham Hills PUD. Why it matters: On the northwest corner of 199th Street and Tomlinson Road, one property will reduce a parcel’s right-of-way to 30 feet from 50 feet. Pam Howard, associate planner, said the reason being the property was too close to Howard the right-of-way lane, originally placing the house seven feet from the road.
Women voters, Delph for redistricting reform By Audrey Bailey news@currentinwestfield.com
On the cover

The Hamilton County League of Women Voters and guest, Indiana State Senator Mike Delph (R-Carmel), met politics Oct. 14 at the Hamilton East Public Library in Noblesville in order to address issues of gerrymandering and redistricting laws in Indiana. The first line of business was to play a documentary called “Gerrymandering,” by Jeff Reichert. Like the title suggests, the film was an introduction to the topic of redistricting, or when the legislature and other government bodies redraw lines and boundaries of electoral districts. This reapportionment process happens every 10 years with the intent of ensuring that everyone is justly represented in the U.S. Congress. However, much of what the documentary, along with the evening’s panel members, discussed was how gerrymandering, or the process of legislatures redrawing district lines, makes this process flawed and advantageous to incumbents. But according to Mari Briggs, from the HCLWV, steps are being made toward Indi-
ana redistricting reform. A bill was recently passed, permitting a Study Committee of seven legislatures and four citizens. “We actually did get a bill passed in Congress that gives us a place to start,” Briggs said. Julia Vaughn, policy director of Common Cause, said they are aiming to get redistricting reform achieved through the legislature, without the need to amend the Constitution. But, time is running short. “We’re running out of time to get this done by 2021,” Vaughn said. According to Vaughn, people need to get involved, forming coalitions and getting informed, in order to ensure that citizens have a part in redrawing their own districts. “The only way this is going to happen is through citizen pressure,” she said. Sen. Delph said he fully supports the proposal, saying he believes the people’s government should be reflective of the people, with their views and interests represented justly in Congress. “Voters should pick their elected officials. Elected officials should not pick their voters,” he said. For more, visit lwv.org/local-league/ lwv-hamilton-county-0.
What happened: The plan commission approved an amendment to the previously approved CVS Pharmacy at the southeast corner of 161st and Spring Mill Road. Why it matters: As CVS Pharmacy changed its interior from 12,900 square feet to 13,225 square feet, the plan commission originally asked for suggestions and approval from the Spring Mill Station Task Group. The two coincided, and the amendment to CVS Pharmacy was approved with a request from staff that any future designs of the window graphics detailed on the elevation be delegated between staff with suggestions from the Spring Mill Station Task Group.

Lions Club donates dictionaries By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For the fourth year in a row, the Westfield Lions Club donated dictionaries to all third graders in the Westfield education Washington School District. The Dictionary Project delivered 572 dictionaries to students in Westfield this year. “It’s a lot of fun for us Lions to visit with all of these third graders and give them a little background on what the Lions Club is all about,” said Jeff Larrison, Westfield Lion and chairman of the Dictionary Project in Westfield. “Some of the students have heard about us and our programs, or have been to our clubhouse for an event. And it makes our day to see how excited they get when they find out they each are getting their very own dictionaries.” Since the Westfield Lions Club hopped onto the national program, they have delivered 2,200 dictionaries over four years. According to Larrison, kids have been very receptive and thankful for the dictionaries they were given. “It was surprising to hear that a large number of the students in the Westfield school

system don’t seem to have easily accessible computers or tablets to look up definitions and spellings for words,” Larrison said. “These dictionaries filled a big gap in the learning system for these students. It’s turned out to be a very rewarding experience for the Lions to make the presentations and deliveries of the dictionaries. The joy of the students is very evident. Plus, their ‘thank you’ notes are the best,” Larrison said. For more, visit westfieldlions.org or dictionaryproject.org.

USA riders earn gold medals By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Teammates Matt Huke, Westfield, and Faith Robbins, Carmel, recently returned from Cape Town, South Africa, achievement where they competed on the United States Equestrian Federation’s Young Rider Team. They didn’t just bring back worldly experience, but gold medals in all three of their divisions as well. The competition involved Huke, Robbins and the remaining four members of Team USA riding horses they had never ridden before at three gaits – walk, trot and canter. “This competition was truly about riding as a team. Each team member must compete to their best ability so that collectively the team has high scores,” Robbins said. “Each rider receives scores for their rail work and scores for their pattern. In order to win the gold medal, each rider needs to get high scores on both.” Two days before the competition started, the team was able to draw their horses and practice with them the next day. Although, that didn’t necessarily mean they rode that specific horse. The coaches evaluated the practice and picked which horse best fit each rider. Robbins, 16, has another competition coming this November, and Huke, 19, wants to continue competing as well. “I plan to continue competing as an adult, in what’s known as the amateur division. Horses will always be a part of my life, no matter what,” Huke said. “My goal is to one day own

WHS inspired to help community By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Last month, Mike Smith, author and executive director and founder of multiple nonprofit organizations, came to Westfield event High School and presented to more than 600 students as part of “The Harbor Back to School Tour.” Students from across the Midwest, including 112 from WHS, were nominated to attend the event, which was sponsored by Jostens. “The whole premise is an inspirational talk to all of the student leaders around the state. These are the kids that really set the culture and climate of schools,” said Kurt Frederick, student life coordinator and special education teacher. “Mike Smith showed them compassion and how to act like a leader. He issued a challenge to consider leaving a legacy and what they want it to be.” Since the tour, Frederick and WHS students met again Oct. 15 to brainstorm impact projects the students can leave and be proud of. “These students are already in a position in which they are looked up to by their peers, and they’re already in a public position of notoriety in the school,” Frederick said. “It’s their responsibility to use that platform to project the traits and attributes they want to

Monon Trail advocate Alyn Bernell takes ride through a portion of the Monon named after him By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Being an early advocate for the construction of the Monon Trail through Westfield, Alyn Bernell has been all about the Monon since he started COVER STORY encouraging development of the trail in the early 1990s, but there’s one part of the trail he hadn’t seen. To honor Bernell and his advocacy, the initial mile of the Monon Trail through Westfield was named after him in 2009. Due to health and age, Bernell never got the chance to see the marker in person. That is until the city stepped in, deciding to take him on a guided golf cart tour through the Alyn Bernell Mile of the Monon. “I am extremely pleased things have turned out the way they did. The people I worked with on various committees and a whole lot of other people were active and interested in the community,” Bernell, now 84, said. “We told the local population that the Monon would be a very good thing. It could connect people and have a good effect on the entire community.” Through his Monon Trail days, Bernell lived in Westfield for 37 years. Now, he lives in a senior apartment home in Indianapolis. When he promoted the Monon, Bernell said he made an effort to join as many groups as possible, such as the parks committee and the chamber of commerce, saying he totaled at about seven or eight. But Bernell made his project personal, too, claiming he went door-to-door in Carmel at houses along the projected route of the Monon, convincing the residents why it would be beneficial to allow construction of the trail right outside their door. “We went and talked and did a good sales job on why they should promote it and permit it to go past their property and how good it would be for them in addition to the rest of the population,” Bernell said. “We had fun doing things like that.” According to the city of Westfield, Bernell also went so far as to charter a private plane to scope out the proposed route from the air during the initial planning stages. Although he makes a conscious effort, Bernell doesn’t get on the Monon as often as he would like. But when he does get the chance, he said he enjoys bicycling with friends on the trail. “I’ve become an older fellow now, and I’m very fortunate to have some people help me out there and carry my bi-
cycle for me in the back of their vehicles and help me greatly to pen beyond my hope that the Monon will stretch out to Sheridan and beyond,” Bernell said. enjoy the Monon,” he said.

An ode to Halloween
F R O M T HE B A C K SH O P Back to you, Mrs. Clinton With Vice President Joe Biden announcing last week he would not pursue the Democratic Party’s nomination for the presidency, our original theory actually went down the drain. We had talked on more than one occasion about how we thought the vice president would wait to see how Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) would fare after the conclusion of the email server investigation, likely in February, before he would announce. Shows what we know. Regardless, we are disappointed by his decision, because we believed him to be a more-worthy challenger to Clinton than Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will turn out to be in the long run. But just as there is scant difference between Democrats and Republicans these days, we believe that is the case with Clinton and Sanders. ••• We want to thank El Nino in advance for this, what with winter expected to be wetter but warmer this time around, but we cannot do that. Because U.S. production of natural gas has increased the last five years, Citizens Energy Group has said Westfield’s natural gas bills will be 28 percent lower than those of last winter. The average consumer bill for November through March last year was $717, and it is expected to drop to about $519. With production up, prices go down on a dollar-fordollar basis, the utility said. We’ll take it! ••• Former President George W. Bush on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Republican presidential candidate and fellow challenger of his brother, Jeb (R-Fla.): “I just don’t like the guy.” Now Dubya, is that any way to talk about your former policy advisor?

Wispy shreds
Commentary by Terry Anker
Confederate is defined first as “joined by agreement or treaty.” The synonyms include: cooperating, combined and united. Flag is defined as “a piece of cloth or similar material, typically oblong or square, attachable by one edge to a pole or rope and used as the symbol or emblem of a country or institution or as a decoration during public festivities.” Therein synonyms include: banner, standard and streamer. Both seem harmless enough. In fact, one might argue that they have a bias towards the positive. How can a cooperative streamer lead to violence? But like much of the human condition, the whole is far greater (and much different) than the sum of its parts. Through what has been a largely civil reframing of the Confederate Flag has been repositioned in our collective understanding. What represented to some the violent oppression of fellow humans by the immoral institution of slavery to others suggested dogged inde-
pendence and self-reliance. Several states continued to employ the flag and many memorials were dedicated to it. Whether you call the war between the states a quelling of rebellion or the “war of Northern aggression,” the battle is over and all can predict the silencing of the symbol – the flag is retiring into the ash heap of history. Most say it is time. Yet, why do we imbue so much in these wispy shreds of fabric? Can a bit of cloth just be a bit of cloth? Symbols are powerful. Candidates wrap themselves in flags to show patriotism or sniff stinky shoes to show, one can guess, solidarity with the common stinky-footed man. But, who owns these symbols. And, who gets to decide their meaning?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
– Kahlil Gibran
Oh, Halloween, how I love thee. A night of enchantment and bountiful candy. A time to prepare for that perfect costume. A pointy hat, black cape and a witch’s broom? Or maybe a ghost with a simple white sheet. Make sure to hem it or you’ll trip up your feet! No matter the act or role that they choose, remember that parents too need humor treats and/or booze. A spiced wine or cold beer, it’s really no matter, All Hallows Eve means a night to get fatter! At Chez Wilson, you see, chili and cornbread do reign, as I sport a fall apron and a dazzling new mane. ‘Cause every Halloween I wear a cool wig, usually a strawberry-blonde afro that goes over big. We decorate to the hilt, mainly just outside, with a graveyard and strobe lights, and goblins who’ve died. My favorite is our scene with the rusty lawnmower, underneath which lies a body who moved much slower than the machine which fatally pinned him beneath, and left him in pieces — his arms, legs and teeth. We add a little more décor each October that comes, like a beady-eyed raven amongst some fake plastic mums. Last year was the fog machine, though it actually kind of sucked. It overheated and shut down; I think we got . . . screwed. Anyhoo, we adore this most fantastic of eves. Whether in the heat we sweat or cold temps we freeze. As long as there’s no rain to ruin the night, we’ll traipse through the hood with utter delight. For on this night of all nights, with magic in the air, we celebrate family and tradition and my fake afro hair. Most importantly we relish our children’s wide eyes, filled with wonder and excitement and hopes still alive of landing the mother lode of sugar and sweets, and setting up shop later to trade jellied feet. Then it’s off to bed where sleep comes late, as they replay the events of such a wonderful date. Happy Halloween to you all, and let me leave no doubt, it’s my most favorite day of the year! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel. com.

Ethical times, ethical measures Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
Because I am originally a New Yorker, I still read the New York Times every Sunday morning. My favorite column is humor “The Ethicist,” written by several well-known philosophers — not well known to me, but apparently very well known to other accomplished philosophers, although I’m not sure what philosophers ever accomplish. Here’s an example of a topic: You are the last to leave a restaurant during a rainstorm, but the last umbrella in the hat check room is not yours. Should you take it? Yes, they actually debated this. I am sad to say, drier heads did not prevail. Here’s how I’d answer some common questions: Q: When I travel, I always take the little bottle of shampoo out of the bathroom and put it in my suitcase. I was feeling guilty about this, but the clerk said the company that makes this stuff expects people to do that. That’s why they put their name on the product. Recently, I picked up a Sony TV and a General Electric hair dryer from the Westin. Should I stop? A: Only after you cross the border. Q: I gave my friend money to buy me a lottery ticket. He went to Village Pantry and bought 10 for himself and one for me. He gave one to me that night. The next day, a ticket he was holding won $25,000,000. I think that was my ticket and he got them mixed up in his pocket.
Should I confront him? A. Assuming you can afford to fly to Fiji … and assuming you can get past his four bodyguards on his 300-foot yacht, sure, why not? Q: Every time I go to a restaurant I steal one knife. I’ve been doing this for about 50 years and now at the age of 83 I have over 3,500 knives in my house. I feel like I should stop. Do you agree? A. Absolutely! At your age, it’s time to start on forks. Q: For the last five years I have been having fun with my neighbor. Every day when he goes to work, I mow his lawn. We were at a party together and he was telling me how this is driving him crazy because his lawn never grows. I almost busted a gut. Should I tell him? A. What, and ruin this perfect practical joke? Hey, here’s my address. Wouldn’t it be funny if my car never got dirty? Q: I am a 16-year-old girl but look almost 40. As a result, I have been drinking beer, driving a car and seeing X-rated movies all year. My boyfriend says this is illegal, and I could get in very serious trouble. Do I need a lawyer? A: No, a plastic surgeon. (For more ethical questions and answers go to currentinwestfield.com)

DWA celebrates America’s Best competition
Commentary by Teresa Otis Skelton
The weather is changing and the leaves are falling, which usually means the final Party on the Patio has come and achievement gone. This year, the last event for the Downtown Westfield Association happened on Oct. 21. It was a great way to celebrate 2015 and Westfield being chosen as a quarterfinalist for the America’s Best Communities competition. Westfield was one of 50 communities selected out of 400 that applied for the competition sponsored by Frontier Communications, DISH, CoBANK and The Weather Channel. Now Westfield will apply in November to be considered a semifinalist, but that is just one step in the process. The grand prize is $3 million and
will be awarded in April 2017. The ABC committee is searching for communities that have a strong sense of place, that have a vision for what their future looks like and have the innovation, motivation and creativity to make that happen. I believe Westfield is that community. The next step is crucial as I try to showcase Westfield’s grand plans for our future in the downtown revitalization project Grand Junction Plaza and what Westfield has already accomplished, Grand Park. I hope you continue to follow this journey with me to the finish line, because I know Westfield is America’s Best Community! For more, visit americasbestcommunities. com.

Philadelphia. Originally a quintet called Unique Attraction, the band’s big break came in 1989 when they snuck backstage at a Bell Biv DeVoe concert and wowed BBD member Michael Bivins with a vocal performance. Bivins offered them a deal on the spot. Three years later, they recorded a song written by Indianapolis’ Babyface called “End of the Road.” The song become one of the biggest hits in history, spending 13 weeks at No. 1 on the pop charts, breaking the 11-week record of Presley’s 1956, double-sided single “Don’t Be Cruel/Hound Dog.” Since then, Boyz II Men have released 12 albums, including their latest, “Collide,” in 2014, and have won more than 30 awards, including four Grammys and nine American Music Awards.

If you are cat lover you probably have shared a cat video or two with festival a fellow cat admirer. Now, imagine sitting in a room with 400-500 feline fans watching a 75-minute string of 85 cat videos from all over the world. That’s what the Internet Cat Video Festival at the Indianapolis Museum of Art Nov. 20-21 is all about – and a special guest appearance by Bloomington’s celebrity cat, Lil Bub. “People are passionate about watching cat videos online, but it’s quite a different experience when you’re in a room watching these videos with hundreds of others celebrating that same feeling you have about cats,” said IMA curator Scott Stulen, co-creator of the festival. “Unlike dogs, which will perform for the camera, cats could care less. That’s more like humans, and I think that’s a large part of their appeal.” For more, visit currentnightandday.com.

Keeping warm this season By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Once again, as we drive to the game, we can’t help but notice that all the corn and bean fields have been harvested, and warm days seem to have vanished. Most of the fall color for trees is gone as well. So what does this mean? It means that we’ve pressed that little weather icon on our phones at least two dozen times. It means that we are going to have to find good ways to enjoy a tailgate party without shuddering from the cold. So here are some basics things to remember. Staying warm requires understanding two key principles: conduction and convection. Conduction is the transfer of heat between two solid surfaces that are in direct contact with each other, such as when you stand on cold pavement. Convection is the transfer of heat between a mass (such as your body) and a moving fluid or gas (such as a cool wind that whips around every square inch of you). Understanding both of these chilling mechanisms, as well as the workings of your body’s built-in thermoregulatory system, will help keep you warm when you next cold-weather tailgate. Dress in layers so you can keep the wind out and be able to remove items so that you don’t sweat when your body does heat up. Avoid the wind by setting up on the lee side of your vehicle or having a canopy-tent with a walled side. Have a heat source. The best one is the sun, but if there is no sun, then have your grill hot and in your seating area. Keep your body hydrated. Keep your body “furnace” stoked with hot foods, hot beverages and slow-burning food

Spoon over porridge, waffles, crunchy granola or vanilla ice-cream as dessert! The variations are limitless! You can make it the day before and warm it before serving. Note: Dried fruit is a good source of fiber, iron, potassium and antioxidants.

Co-working space is in the works By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
With the quick advancement of co-working spaces around the county, Westfield is not far behind. Curt Whitesell, new biz co-owner of The Union, 136 N. Union St., plans on implementing the unique co-working space at the start of next year. “It’s for people like myself that don’t have an office and work out of their home, they need a place to get on the internet and be comfortable while getting work done,” Whitesell said. “It’s a real co-working space. They’ll run into other people who are starting up a business or some who have been around for a while.” Among the work space, The Union will have white boards, brainstorming areas, internet and television access, as well as a kitchen and comfortable places to work. Members also receive a free hour use of the conference room per week. In addition to the membership usage of the conference room, Whitesell said he will rent the room out to non-members at $50 per hour and $35 per hour for members if they wish to use it longer than their weekly limit. “In my head, I envision a person like me,” Whitesell said. “When I was starting my real estate company, I would have loved to have
September saw fewer listings and pended home sales, but year-to-date, the market is performing better than real estate 2014. In the nine-county central Indiana region, Tucker’s data revealed a 6.8 percent decline in home sales last month compared to September 2014. Year-to-date, sales were up 7.9 percent, and average year-to-date home sale prices climbed 4.9 percent to $185,536. Hamilton County saw a 5.3 percent decline in inventory while the average year-to-date sale price for the county climbed 3.9 percent to $277,715. • In Westfield, the average year-to-date home sale price rose 7.5 percent compared to this time last year, increasing to $290,252. • Inventory moved at the same pace in Westfield in September 2015 compared to September 2014. Overall, homes sold in 59 days. • Buyers in Westfield had more options available to them. Last month, 233 homes

were available for sale – eight more homes compared to September 2014. • Pended home sales have slipped slightly in Westfield. In September 2015, 59 homes sold – a decline of 16 homes compared to September 2014. • Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, five were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 19 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 15 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 19 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less. Residential real estate sales and listings are still very active. The region is 7.9 percent ahead of last year’s pended sales at this time, and that’s a sure sign we’ve ended the third quarter on a strong note. And, as average sale prices continue to rise, the incentive to list a home is still high. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

Colored contacts for Halloween? Think again
Commentary by Tammy Wittmann
A recent study published in “Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice” found the presence of harmful chemicals in the vision colorants used in cosmetic contact lenses bought without a prescription. They are urging consumers to beware of buying contact lenses without a valid doctor’s prescription because these lenses cannot be guaranteed to meet U.S. FDA standards for this type of medical device. Some of the chemicals found in the colorants were chlorine, titanium and iron, all of which can have devastating consequences for vision and ocular health. Dr. Jeffrey J. Walline, O. D. Ph. D., and chair of the American Optometric Association’s Contact Lens & Cornea Section, stated, “This makes these lenses extremely dangerous to even try for a short period of time, including, for example, a Halloween party.” These chemicals decrease the contact lens’ ability to breathe and the way they are applied to the lenses can be indirect contact with the cornea. This may cause the cornea to develop permanent scarring, corneal ulcers, infections or grow irregular blood vessels. Consequently, these
Dispatches
lenses are extremely dangerous to wear even for a few hours. It’s important to remember that all contact lenses require a prescription in order to be legally sold. The federal government considers all contact lenses to be medical devices. Federal law states any sale of contact lenses made without verifying the prescription with the prescribing eye doctor or without a complete copy of the prescription is illegal. This is law for a reason. These cosmetic lenses sold without a prescription, often on the internet or in salons or party stores, are not regulated, and we are now seeing hard evidence to prove there are chemicals which can permanently damage your eyes, even when worn for a short period of time. Only contact lenses prescribed by an eye doctor and worn according to the prescribed schedule are safe to wear. For more, visit www.contactlenssafety.org or www.aoa.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: An updated bathroom Commentary by Larry Greene
After
After solutions: The goal was to achieve a clean and “beachy” design that would last through time. 1. The oversized tub was removed and allowed room for a larger shower. 2. A more open layout was created which made the room seem larger and brighter by filtering in natural daylight. 3. A heater was installed in the toe kick of the vanity to help distribute heat throughout the room. 4. Decorative feet were added to the new tall vanities so they appeared more like furniture. 5. Sufficient and functional storage was added to the room using cabinetry and hooks. 6. The family’s stained glass windows finished off the beach theme by adding fun color.
Before
Background Info: This home is in the Smokey Knoll subdivision in Carmel. The homeowners have lived in the house for 24 years and felt it was time to remodel. They decided to start with the master bath.
Before problems: The room was dated and starting to show significant wear. The oversized tub was rarely used and blocked off the rest of the room. The vanities were short and lacked much needed storage. The shower was small and felt dark and closed in.

Parenting Time During the Holidays The holiday season can be a difficult time if you are going through or just recently divorced. This is especially true for young children, therefore, it is important to know what the schedule will be and deal with issues that may arise before they turn into substantial and potentially volatile disputes. The Guidelines. If your divorce decree or preliminary order indicates that you will operate under the Holiday provisions of the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, then the first step is to be certain that you have read these provisions and understand how they divide the holiday periods in question. A considerable amount of misunderstandings can be avoided by both parties reviewing the Guidelines and any discussions about varying from them can start from common ground. Ultimately, if the parties cannot agree and the decree establishes the provisions in the Guidelines as the default schedule, both sides also know what the consequences of not agreeing will be. If an agreement is reached, make sure it is clear all the way to times and dates. Stick to whatever schedule you agree upon and be courteous in timely dropping off and picking up the children, understanding that each moment with both families is precious for them and that scheduling delays can result in larger conflicts between parents. Consider Family Traditions. Holiday traditions are one thing children can look forward to even during difficult times. If your family has holiday traditions, make every effort to continue them. If the divorce or separation is recent and you believe it may be difficult on the children, consider a vacation or begin a new and fun family tradition that the children can get excited about. For example, if, historically, your family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve and the other parent’s family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Day, you should create a schedule that allows the children to participate and enjoy both families’ traditions each and every year. Sometimes, if the holiday traditions are identical, it may make sense to alternate holidays on a yearly basis rather than break-up each holiday into equal parts. This way, the children are able to participate in both homes even if the celebrations are on different days. Alternating holidays on an annual basis can also create more relaxing family holiday experiences as opposed to the stress involved with coordinating schedules.
Communicate. If the children are not with you for the holidays, call them, send cards and/or emails. Consider creating your own family celebration either before or after the actual holiday. Children love celebrations and gifts, regardless of the day and time. Conversely, if the children are spending the holiday with you, you should encourage and allow them to speak with the other parent. If the children are too young to call on their own, help them make or receive a call, and always give the children and the other parent a quiet moment together. Put the Children First. No matter how challenging your relationship is with your children’s father/mother, please remember that he/she is the parent of your children and, therefore, you should make every effort to respect the co-parenting relationship, striving to keep your children’s best interests as your top priority. Coordinate gift-giving. Ask the other what he/she plans on giving the children, and share your plans with the other parent. Help your children make a holiday card or purchase a gift for them to give the other parent. Offer to take your children shopping to buy presents for the other parent. For young children especially, holidays are exciting times and they want to give as much as they want to receive. Put personal feelings aside, knowing that building healthy and positive relationships between parents creates a winning situation for the entire family. Remember that the other parent will be in your life long after the children are grown, so the more you are able to effectively communicate and co-parent, the easier the transition will be on you and your children. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

From places to pages: Knebel travel book on shelves now By Audrey Bailey • news@currentinwestfield.com Printed on the cover of the new book, “Flushed with Curiosity: 101 travel tales with a twist,” photos from around the world border a familiar image of white, partially author unrolled toilet paper. Drawn on the paper are sketched-out human figures seen squatting, situated there to better illustrate the variances in bathroom practices between Eastern and Western societies. This was the philosophy Donald Knebel, 69, author and Current columnist, had in mind when he created this book, showcasing 101 of his 150 travel columns. “The idea was to give people a sense of the world that they wouldn’t have otherwise,” Knebel said. A resident of Zionsville for 16 years, Knebel has always had a passion for traveling. He has a wife, Jennifer, whom he travels with, and three children: Mary, Caitlin and Chase. Knebel originally graduated from Purdue University with an engineering degree, but after a few years, decided to pursue a different path, and attended Harvard Law School. In 1974, Knebel moved to Indianapolis to work as partner in Barnes & Thornburg LLP. He retired in 2013, and now works as an adjunct
professor at Indiana University, lectures about religious understanding and writes a travel column for Current. Knebel first began writing these columns back in 2011. Before this, Knebel’s passion had taken him and his wife to “all the places most people go,” including cities like Rome and Paris. But, before too long, the two were booking flights and exploring some of the world’s more exotic destinations. “In the spring of 2006, we decided to go to Israel for about 10 days and came back with a sense that we really needed to learn more about the history and cultures of the Middle East, which is where civilization started,” Knebel said. From there, Knebel and his wife went to Egypt, India, Syria, Turkey, Morocco and several more places, adding up to a total of around 35 different countries; all of which are featured in Knebel’s columns, along with his new book. For more on Knebel’s new book and his travels, visit currentzionsville.com. “Flushed With Curiosity” will be featured at Black Dog Books in Zionsville on Nov. 7 from 2-3 p.m. Knebel will be signing books and giving a presentation on his travel to Cuba, beginning at 3 p.m.

Egyptian tombs known as City of the Dead Commentary by Don Knebel Turning an old joke line on its head, hundreds of thousands of Egyptians are “just living” to get into a cemetery, travel creating one of Cairo’s most unusual tourist destinations. In the 14th century, Cairo’s rulers established a cemetery in a desert area east of what was then one of the largest cities in the world, with a population of about 500,000. The rulers and other elites built their mausoleums on the site, the most impressive being the domed mausoleum of Sultan al-Ashraf Qaytbay, completed in 1474, which served as a model for later tombs. The mausoleums typically included large rooms over the underground gravesite where relatives of the deceased could stay during a 40-day mourning period and subsequently visit to pay their respects and obtain blessings. Over time, smaller buildings, having a similar purpose, were built over gravesites in what became known as the “Northern Cemetery,” which now extends for four miles along a six-lane highway. In the 20th century, Cairo grew rapidly as people moved in from the countryside. As land to accommodate the city’s increasing mil-

lions grew increasingly scarce and expensive, people began finding permanent shelter in the tomb buildings of the Northern Cemetery. Lacking the resources to resettle them, the government tolerated the illegal squatters and their numbers grew. Today, up to a million people live in and around the tombs. Children play amidst the graves while women hang their laundry on ropes strung from one mausoleum to the next.
