Pete the Planner offers retirement advice By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Pete Dunn, better known as Pete the Planner, said people have one major misconception about money. event “It’s a crazy assumption but we just assume we get better with money as we get older,” Dunn said. “That’s not true. I’ve been eating for almost four decades, does that mean I’m good with food? No, it doesn’t.” Dunn, a Carmel resident, addressed retirement planning at the Westfield Chamber of Commerce meeting Oct. 19 at The Bridgewater Club in Carmel. “The three things that most people want out of their financial lives,” Dunn said. “They want a solid income that gives me them a nice lifestyle. They don’t want financial stress. They want a successful retirement.” Dunn, a USA Today financial wellness columnist, radio show host and the author of 10 books, addressed some of the obstacles. “As a country, we are not getting any of the three things we want out of our financial lives,” Dunn said. “When we make more money, we expand our lifestyle. It’s called lifestyle creep. Something good happens and then you expand your lifestyle. It’s not sustainable because when you go to retirement you are going to make less money than when you were working.” When lifestyle continually expands, then you hit retirement when you have less income. “When you are stressed about money, you say ‘Hey, let’s get in the car, we’re going out to eat,’” Dunn said. “You feel better for a little bit until you realize that’s not helping.” Dunn said often people make poor decisions when they come into more money. “When Americans talk about better financial existence, they talk about getting better stuff,” Dunn said. “When you get more money, you have a choice; you get can get more stuff or

Dispatches Interstate improvements — A $47 million patching and resurfacing project is under way along I-65 from one mile south of U.S. 52 in Lebanon to nearly 3.5 miles south of State Road 38 in Lafayette. The project also includes replacing the decks on the State Road 47 bridge and on the Tippecanoe County Road 900 and 1000 East bridges over I-65. The project is scheduled to be complete in October 2018. Governor makes appointments — On Oct. 23, Gov. Eric Holcomb made several new appointments and reappointments to state boards and commissions.

create more stability. Most people get more stuff. You make more money and you get a nicer car or a nicer house. You go to nicer restaurants, you get better suits, you drink better wine. Every micro-decision we make is made by the amount of money available to us.” Dunn pointed out very few people have pensions anymore. “In 1975, 88 percent of the people in the private sector had a pension,” Dunn said. “Ten percent of the population in the private sector has a pension today. We lost our get-out-of-jail -free card when pensions went away. Do you think prior generations were financial geniuses that always made great decisions with their money? What they got was a continuation of their income and no recourse to their poor decisions. You can die with no money from that generation and still have the best retirement ever.” For more, visit petetheplanner.com.

Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts Education, Purdue University. Why did you become a teacher? “I fell in love with my high school art classroom and spent a lot of time outside of class in there working. I knew I wanted to create my own classroom where students enjoyed coming to create art.” What goals do you have for your students? “Students will become visually literate and begin to recognize different artists while also discovering what types of art they prefer. Also, they will discover different techniques for creating art and personal expression.”
What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? “Ideally, Coffey I would love to see every student with their own sketchbook where they can practice the different skills we learn in class. However, just encouraging students to spend time creating, no matter what it is, will help. Developing fine motor skills is very helpful in the art room.” Name your favorite movie. “Any ‘Star Wars’ movie.” Name your favorite musician or band. “Luke Bryan.” What’s something your students might not know about you? “I have a miniature poodle named Tom.”

Neighborhood rallies around 80-year old By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Ann Wyatt will turn 80 years old Nov. 1. Despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1984, Wyatt has not birthday let her disability stop her. Denny and Janet Weber have lived across the street from Wyatt since they moved to the neighborhood. Janet Weber said Wyatt could not be any prouder of the fact that she is set to reach a new milestone. “She often has trouble moving,” Weber said. “She has lived her life sitting in a chair watching TV every day. But she is so excited to be marking this new milestone.” Weber is a retired Hamilton Heights teacher (she taught for 38 years) and said she has big plans for Wyatt’s upcoming birthday. “We passed out flyers around the neighborhood to have everyone make a little note or card for Ann,” Weber said. “We also are inviting people to drop off their notes or cards and visit her for an “open house” from 1:30 to 3 p.m. on Nov. 1.” Weber said she knows Wyatt would be thrilled to see people coming in to talk or

just visit. “She does not get out much,” Weber said. “She has a hard time getting around due to the MS in her legs, and we want residents and the community to meet her. Probably a good 90 percent of neighbors do not know her. They just drive by her house every time to go to work or to shop.” Weber wants to show the Westfield community that there is so much more to someone than a disability.
Dispatches
“She laughs and jokes a lot. She is just great.” Weber said. “We’re not related in any way, shape or form. We just help her. My husband will mow her grass, and I will bring her mail in every day.” Weber said during the course of 15 years, they have become close friends. Wyatt receives in-home service twice a week to help with cleaning and maintenance. Weber said Meals on Wheels employees who assist Wyatt “just absolutely love her.” “She has a chair lift, gets out of her bedroom in the morning, and it takes her a good long to get dressed,” Weber said. “Then she sits until about 9 o’clock at night in her living room before she shuts it off and goes to bed. TV is her best friend, but a few years back I got her a pair of glasses so she could read.” A few other neighbors, including Weber, often take her food during the holidays. “I just want the whole neighborhood to know,” Weber said. “You could even knock on the door and greet her. She would be thrilled.” She does not call often but Weber always reminds Wyatt, “Ann, if you need me, call me.”

Westfield is a Green Community news@currentinwestfield.com Accelerate Indiana Municipalities announced the 2017 Green Communities of the Year Oct. 11. Westfield, environment Fishers and Whiting received their awards during the Aim Ideas Summit in Evansville. “On top of everything a city or town leader must do to ensure the long-term health and viability of their community, it’s so impressive that our Green Communities of the Year are able to aggressively dedicate themselves to sustainable practices. I applaud their efforts and believe all Hoosiers will benefit from their dedication to greener local governments,” Aim CEO Matt Greller stated in a press release. To earn the distinction, cities had to complete a 51-question survey on purchasing, operations, measuring success and sample projects. Fishers, Westfield and Whiting met the minimum score to be designated a Green Community. The cities also received the highest score in their population category. Aim launched the Green Communities Initiative in 2008 in conjunction with Christopher B. Burke Engineering.
Westfield Kiwanis warmly thanks those who participated in Avenue of Flags in 2017.
The funds raised enabled Kiwanis to give over $6,000 to Westfield youth organizations and honor service men, women and veterans for their current and past service to our country. Angie Smitherman and Jeremy Lollar from the City of Westfield receive the Aim Green Communities award. (Submitted photo)
Aim was previously known as the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns. Westfield, Fishers and Whiting received the Green Community of the Year distinction in their population categories last year as well. Fishers’ population category is more than 50,000. Westfield is in the 10,000 to 50,000 category and Whiting is less than 10,000. For more, visit aimindiana.org.

Hummel seeks Westfield because of Grand Park, soccer opportunities By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Indiana isn’t home to just basketball anymore. At least, that’s what brothers-in-law Serkan Tokel and Rob Moloch believed when they cover story launched Viking Sports in Westfield, with a goal to bring the Hummel sports gear brand to Indiana. Hummel is a company based largely in Europe, mostly focusing on soccer gear. Tokel said when Hummel began to think about penetrating the U.S. market, it looked at locations in New York, where real estate is expensive. Tokel and Moloch are agents for Hummel and live in Westfield. Tokel moved to Westfield from Turkey in July. “We convinced (Hummel) to do it in Westfield, because we came here and were thinking about how awesome it would be to do it here because there’s so much opportunity,” Moloch said. “You wouldn’t think Indiana, but there’s so much going on.” “I was thinking about this for a while, to manage a brand here and have a facility because there’s big potential with Grand Park and Indy Eleven,” Tokel said. However, moving an international brand to the U.S. isn’t easy. Tokel and Moloch said they are negotiating with Hummel and local representatives in Westfield, such as Mayor Andy Cook, Chamber of Commerce President Jack Russell and Indy Eleven owner Ersal Ozdemir. “Since Hummel is a global brand, they have almost zero presence in the U.S., and our job is to make them a brand here,” Moloch said. Viking Sports has distributor rights of Hummel to manage it in marketing and sales throughout the U.S. Moloch and Tokel recently purchased a 2,000-square-foot warehouse at 17005 Westfield Park Rd., Unit C. The space will serve as a warehouse as well as Viking Sports’ office. Operations will begin out of the space after Nov. 1. “Since we’re here in Westfield, we are kind of focusing on that,” Tokel said. “Indy Eleven is important for us to establish (a relationship) with. Westfield and Grand Park are equally as important. Our goal is to make the brand’s U.S. headquarters here in Westfield.” In the future, the pair plans to have retail space in addition to the warehouse. However, through Viking Sports, Tokel and Moloch plan to work with other brands as well. “Hummel is not the only brand we are working with,” Tokel said. “It’s our focus right now, but other European brands have expressed interest in working with us to launch their products here. We are focused on soccer here because soccer is growing here.” Tokel also said that if other sports teams reached out searching for sponsorship, they would possibly partner with them and weren’t limited to soccer teams. Currently, the City of Westfield and Indy Eleven are partnered with Adidas for apparel.

Difference between Hummel and other brands

Hummel, a sports gear brand largely focused on soccer items, launched in Germany in 1923, the same year as Adidas. The company is international with a European focus. Rob Moloch, an agent for Hummel, said the main difference between Hummel and other sports brands is the product’s value. “There is a market niche for us because we can clothe a soccer player head to toe and save 20 percent with the same quality product,” Moloch said. “We like to promote that we’re local. When a soccer ball or a cleat blows out or a jersey gets ripped, we are here and we can do it.” For more, visit hummel.net.

A dry run
o b s e r v ation Perpetual twilight
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker We found ourselves careening down the crowded streets of America’s largest city reviewing the events of the day – the nature of the incoming flight, the ease of traversing the Holland Tunnel, and, in course, our acquaintance with a new car service. Recommended for transport by a close friend and Manhattanite, we were impressed by the comportment and wayfinding of our driver. Snarled traffic would lead to a redirect, then another, until a more attractive path emerged. Although the crystal-blue sky was glorious as the October sun cast its reflected light across the scores of gleaming edifices, we found ourselves headlong in a narrow canyon of oppressive brick structures. Built before the ubiquitous use of reinforced steel, these vintage buildings, while charming in many ways, hosted small windows open only to facing windows directly across the constricted street. Despite the ambient light spilling into the scene, the effect could best be described as dusk. The same might be said as afternoon turned to night, street lights illuminate ensuring that folks rooted here live lives wrapped in perpetual twilight. If we dedicate ourselves only working to contain the extremes, what do we surrender? Are we humans prone to avoid change at the very same time that we benefit from it? Some moments lift us while others urge us to retreat. Does our hiding from dark and light make its existence any less real? Life brings both expected and unexpected seasons. But what is the merit in a command of adaptability? If we live in a place that is neither fully day nor fully night, can we ever hope to recognize the difference?

In the halls of Maple Glen Commentary by Anna Skinner Our last Westfield Police Dept. Citizens’ Academy was by far my favorite. The classmates citizenS’ academy who volunteered took to the hallways of Maple Glen Elementary School and practiced an active shooter scenario. We portrayed officers while an active shooter fired blank rounds in a classroom. Clearly, there was no risk to any of the participants. Yet, despite the absence of danger, the anxiety and adrenaline I felt going through the scenario was exponentially higher than what it was prior to being tased. Which I experienced the previous week. Alumni from past Citizens’ Academies laid on the hallway floors, portraying victims. We were required to run past them, burst into the classroom to find and eliminate the threat to the school. I was the point person in my scenario, which meant I called the commands and entered the classroom first. My partner was told to literally push me into the
room. Officers are taught this because it is unnatural to willingly sprint into a room full of gunfire, full of danger, that the body automatically stops in the doorway. This creates an even more dangerous situation. When the first person stops, all responding officers stack like dominos behind them – one line of very easy targets for the active shooter. The entire time I knew I wasn’t in any danger. The bullets were blanks. It was loud, but I kept telling myself there was no danger. Nothing would strike me. Nobody would shoot me. And yet, my blood pounded in my ears. My heart immediately kicked up several notches. Running down that hallway, even in only a practice situation, I blocked out the calls from the victims, stepped over their bodies to make my way to the active shooter. One actor even grabbed at my pantleg when we paused by the door just prior to bursting in. Thrilling and eye-opening, the scenario gave us a new appreciation for what officers experience during real-time shooting situations, and why the training is focused and intense.
I’m cured of my urinating-while-exercising problem! Thanks to my OB/GYN, I can now run without stopping at humor construction port-a-lets every 2 miles. And luckily for you, the appointment was the most entertaining, embarrassing hour of my adult life. FYI, any visit to the Lady Parts Doctor requires great preparation. There’s a particularly high level of grooming that occurs, from perfectly-pedicured toes to a meticulously-made-up face. And of course, everything in between must be en pointe. For whatever reason, I completely neglected the aforementioned routine and showed up a hot mess. When the nurse told me to undress from the waist down, I was mortified. Did I mention I have a male physician? Who’s my age? I commenced with the “He’s seen it all” mantra, but broke into a cold sweat when I caught a whiff of my Sperry’s-withoutsocks feet. I forgot all of this the moment Doc walked in, though, because I then had to explain in excruciating detail my peejogging adventures. We discussed possible solutions and finally agreed to try a nonsurgical device. Doc then opened a tacklebox full of what appeared to be medieval torture objects, selected one, and told me to “give it a whirl.” In privacy, thank God. So I jumped, danced, moved and grooved to see if I could wet myself. Miracle of miracles, the floor remained dry! Step 2 proved more challenging. Try as I might, I just couldn’t remove the thing. So Doc returned, hilariously mimed the process, and left me again. This time, with a few Cirque du Soleil twists and a Hail Mary, I did it. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

A different kind of airline Commentary by Melkote Ramaswamy Through the years, while so many airlines have either merged or disappeared from the horizon, Southwest opinion has not only been a survivor in the fierce airline industry, it has expanded and flourished in a systematic way and maintained its identity. Our most recent favorite airline was Northwest. But after it went off the landscape, we have used several airlines with varying degrees of satisfaction. Because we were very keen on non-stop service, we chose to fly Southwest for a trip to San Diego. Our last trip on Southwest was nearly 15 years ago. Our present experience brought home to us the secret of their success. This is how the system works: All planes in the entire fleet are Boeing 737s. Pilots need to be trained on just one type of aircraft permitting smooth switching between planes. The entire plane is economy class – no business or first class. Each plane has 25 rows of six seats for a capacity of 150. You are allowed to check in two bags free of
charge in addition to one carry-on bag. The entire boarding process is completed in an orderly fashion in approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Onboard service is quite impressive. Passengers are given a choice of snacks. The flight attendants bring them in an open tray and passengers pick what they want, multiple choices not discouraged. Orders are taken for complementary beverages. No trolley is used to serve the beverages, which are hand-carried on trays and delivered. This keeps the passageway accessible to passengers at all times. The only limitation I found was that there is just one lavatory in the front and one in the back, causing a line build-up in the back of the plane. We found great punctuality in takeoff and landing. We are indeed looking forward to our next trip on Southwest. Melkote Ramaswamy, a Westfield resident, is a physicist, writer, speaker and author of “An Immigrant celebrates America” (University of Indianapolis Press, 2007.)

Editor, This is why the left has so much disdain for those on the right. These two letters from apparent Trump supporters Ann and Tom that have the audacity to ask where good manners have gone while supporting a man who is The Insulter In Chief – a man who wouldn’t know good manners if they smacked him in the face. It seems we can’t go a day without Mr. Trump insulting someone via his early morning Twitter tirades or
“off script” ramblings where he says what he really thinks rather than what polite company has advised him to say. Now, his supporters have the audacity to ask where Danielle Wilson learned her manners? Time to turn that self-righteous indignation back upon yourselves, Ann and Tom. And while you are at it, please look up the definition of the word hypocrite, then look in the mirror. Sigh... Tyler Gresh, Noblesville
Editor, Insufferable (adjective): too extreme to bear, intolerable, having or showing unbearable arrogance or conceit Regarding letters to the editor (in the Sept. 19) edition condemning Danielle Wilson’s column in which she used the word “insufferable” referring to our current president: I believe it is a very appropriate word to describe our president, even though she might have gotten a bit off track jumping from her daughter to the president. Maybe because he is in our face
every day with his tweets. No, I don’t have “libsteria” (new word made up supposedly combining liberal and hysteria), I’m a concerned citizen about an insufferable person being in such a powerful position. Call it “bad manners” if you will, but the previous administration had plenty of “bad manners” directed their way. I am so grateful that we have checks and balances in this great country to control out of control people such as our current arrogant and conceited leader. Susan McNeal, Noblesville

Standing up for lunch Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Now that Mary Ellen has retired, and I’m significantly cutting back on work, we’ll end up being home together humor around noon. Mary Ellen and I have never shared a real lunchtime. For all of our marriage, we weren’t ever both home during the workweek, and on weekends I usually went to Costco and snarfed up free food samples. I have been home recovering from knee surgery, so Mary Ellen suggested we start having a noon meal together. The blood drained out of my head. I started to perspire. A twitch developed in my right eye. I had to be careful or she was going to know that I was not happy with the suggestion. How do you tell someone after 37 years that you really don’t want to have lunch together? When you are used to eating alone, you develop a few habits that will be hard to break. My wife, who shares a significant DNA strain with Miss Manners, would never understand. Maybe you will. Mary Ellen will want to have lunch at noon. When I worked at home alone, I would sit down for lunch sometime between 10:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. Wait, that is
a total lie. I have never actually sat down for lunch at home in my adult life. I slapped a sandwich together while standing at the fridge, then ate it on the way upstairs to turn on a cable news show. I just knew that Mary Ellen was going to want to actually sit for the meal. And we’d have to use utensils, like forks and spoons. And have conversations. I even had nightmares about it. I love my wife, and I love to talk to her. But not in the daylight. Not during the week. Conversations are OK at dinner; so are napkins, utensils and chairs. But not at lunch. Not starting after 37 years. The other day, Mary Ellen prepared a meal at noon. When I walked in the kitchen, she said, “I can’t believe what you are wearing. Sweats and a dirty T-shirt? You can’t sit down for lunch looking like that.” Music to my ears. So I stood up, just like the good old days.

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A new burger bar will soon open in Clay Terrace. Prodigy is expected to open in the former Ted’s Montana Grill space in November. In addition to its burger menu, it restaurant will offer craft beer, dueling pianos on Friday and Saturday evenings and 24 televisions for watching sports. Restaurateur Jeremiah Hamman, who is the general manager of Prime 47 and co-founder of CharBlue, is partnering with Patrick McIlvenna and Roger Curry to open Prodigy. Hamman said they began “moving quickly” to develop the concept when they heard the Ted’s Montana Grill space would become available. Hamman With current Clay Terrace food offerings including three higher-end restaurants, a food court and fast-casual burger chain Red Robin, Hamman said Prodigy is designed to offer a dining style not currently available for shoppers. “We immediately began working on a concept we felt the center needed,” Hamman said. “We wanted a concept that would fill the void of that mid-level sandwich, sporty, fun environment where people from Carmel, Westfield and Zionsville could come and grab a bite to eat.” The restaurant will be family friendly and include a play area and $5 kids menu. It also will have a large outdoor patio with garage doors and fire pits, Hamman said.

Undiscovered gems — Of the thousands of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in the U.S., there are many that are well-known and that have impressive performance records. But there also are some gems that most investors have never heard of—and that might boost your investment returns for years to come. Here are three of those undiscovered funds: 1. GQG Partners Emerging Markets Equity (GQGPX). 2. Tributary Small Company (FOSCX) 3. Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIGI) Source: Morningstar.com Tax reporting for sharing services — From Uber drivers to Airbnb hosts, there is a lot of confusion surrounding how “sharing economy” money is reported to the IRS. There’s so much confusion, in fact, that the IRS dedicated a web page specifically to the topic. Search IRS.gov for the Sharing Economy Tax Center for advice on how to report income from sharing-type services. The IRS is paying closer attention to independent contractors as the sharing economy goes mainstream. Source: RealLifeTaxAdvice.com New car replacement insurance — Typical insurance policies only pay a depreciated value for your car if it’s totaled in an accident. Recent ads offering full replacement cost are very common. They don’t, however, tell the whole story. Full replacement cost coverage will increase your premium by at least 15 percent and is only good for a limited time period, or specific number of miles. It might not be worth the extra premiums given the chance of totaling your car is less than 1 percent in a year. Source: BottomLine.com

Commentary by Ryan Alexander, DO Fall is often when people begin thinking about health benefits and insurance coverage for the coming your health year. Many employers conduct open enrollment in the fall, which may result in new considerations and the possibility of changes in health coverage, especially if your employer is switching insurance carriers or offering new health plans. When it comes to maintaining good health, here are some things to keep in mind as you make choices during open enrollment: Aim to establish an ongoing relationship with a primary care provider. Longterm physician-patient relationships allow doctors to get to know their patients and learn their medical history. While it’s not always possible to maintain such a relationship due to insurance changes and life circumstances, continuity of care provides significant benefits for patients. When reviewing your health insurance options each year, check to make sure your primary care doctor is included in your plan. If you need to find a new doctor, plan to schedule an appointment with your current physician before the end of the coverage year to help ensure a smooth transition. Your current doctor may be able to recommend other providers and will help transfer your medical records. If you’re taking prescription medications, it’s important to work with your current doctor to ensure you have refills to meet your needs until you find a new physician. Review the preventive care coverage included in your plan. The Affordable Care Act requires that preventive health services be covered at no additional cost in all health insurance plans. These services, which include immunizations and health screenings are based on age and gender.

Take time to review your health plan to understand what preventive care services are offered and then work with your primary care provider to develop a preventive care plan that’s right for you. Learn about your prescription drug plan and work with your doctor. Some health insurance plans offer incentives for 90-day prescriptions. If you’re taking maintenance medications for a chronic condition, such as heart disease or high blood pressure, ask your doctor if a longer-term prescription is possible to save you money. Know where you need to go for lab and imaging services. Some health plans require you to use certain labs and radiology centers. If you’re able to choose, you may want to find facilities that are close to your home or work. If you’re selecting a new primary care doctor for insurance reasons, you may want to see if these services are offered on-site for added convenience.

Carmel ex-pastor shares love of Reformation stamps By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
As this fall marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, Paul Swartz has been combining his passions for stamp collecting, the Lutheran faith and music. The 74-year-old Carmel resident has been collecting U.S. stamps since he was 7 years old. “I go back to the 1800s for U.S. stamps,” said Swartz, a former pastor of Carmel’s King of Glory Lutheran Church. “I view every stamp as a window to the world. It’s lifting up either a person, a building or a circumstance.” Swartz, who serves as a volunteer usher at The Palladium along with his wife, Betty, had mentioned to Indiana Wind Symphony Director Charlie Conrad a couple of years ago the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and the great music around that time. “I knew his love for putting together thematic concerts,” Swartz said. They began planning together, and Swartz will give a historical narration for the symphony’s “Echoes Over Five Centuries: The Reformation” at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at The Palladium in Carmel. “I’ve always been a fan of church music and classical music,” Swartz said. Conrad said Swartz brings a great deal of knowledge about the Reformation. “In addition to the religious aspect, it had quite an effect on music as well,” Conrad said. “Paul will be doing the narration in between numbers. We’ll play some music that historically was significant, and some based on some of the chorales and tunes that came from the time. We’re doing a piece from Elisabeth Cruciger, the first female hymn writer of the Reformation, and she was also married to Martin Luther’s son. Martin Luther wrote several (hymns) himself. ‘A Mighty Fortress is Our God’ is the most famous one.” Swartz, who will have a display of his Reformation and Luther stamps in The Palladium lobby, is writing a book called “A Life Stamped, Cancelled and Delivered!” “I thought if I don’t get the book out until next year I can include all the stamps of Luther that are issued this year,” said Swartz, who has written several journal articles about Luther. Swartz was pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church for 13 years before retiring in 2012. He’s now serving at First Trinity, a diverse Lutheran congregation on the east side

of Indianapolis. “They can’t afford a pastor, so I’m helping them out,” Swartz said. Swartz’s collection of Martin Luther stamps began in 1983 when the U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp commemorating the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s birth on Nov. 10, 1483. The stamp triggered a worldwide search by Swartz to discover what other Reformation stamps were produced. He has several albums full of stamps relating to Martin Luther or this year’s Reformation anniversary. Luther published his Ninety-five theses, or complaints against the Catholic Church, and launched the Protestant Reformation on Oct. 31, 1517. Many stamps from various nations are being reeled this year. “Luther was the champion of individual rights and the freedom of the conscience,” Swartz said. “You won’t find anyone in the history of mankind who championed that more than Martin Luther.” Choir voices are needed for the concert.

‘A Grand Night of Singing’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When “A Grand Night of Singing” opened on Broadway in 1993, it was the first time the music of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein had been on theater Broadway in a revue format. “It has been speculated that one reason for the delay was that so many Rodgers and Hammerstein songs connect so directly with the stories they tell and are so embedded in our culture that it becomes difficult to envision them out of the context,” said Carol Worcel, who is serving as director and choreographer for the show for the upcoming Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production. “Perhaps another reason is that these classic tunes sometimes seem sappy and out of touch with the edgy realism today’s audiences so often expect.” However, Worcel said the arrangement of 30 or more songs by Walter Bobbie creates a “brilliant format that follows the timeless seasons of love, using themes which we can all identify.” ATI presents “A Grand Night of Singing”

from Nov. 3 to 19 at the Studio Theater in Carmel. Worcel, who lives near the Geist area in Indianapolis, said there have been no real challenges in preparation. ‘In fact, this rehearsal period has been very smooth due to the fact that we have an amazingly talented cast and a very accomplished production team,” Worcel said. Worcel said there is an even mix of songs from Rodgers & Hammerstein’s betterknown and lesser-known musicals. “Honey Bun is one of my favorites in this production,” Worcel said.

Bullying in our schools has become a national epidemic and, unfortunately, this is probably the most common phone call I get from parents. Usually it goes something like this: “My child is being bullied to the point that he’s afraid to go to school. The school has not done anything to stop it. What can I do?” Naturally, many parents who call want me to write a letter to their school corporation or even file a lawsuit against it. Unfortunately, I often have to tell them that there’s not much they can do from a legal standpoint unless they have evidence that (a) the school violated a legal duty, and (b) their child has been harmed—physically or psychologically—as a result. If your child is simply afraid to go to school because of the bullying but hasn’t been emotionally traumatized or physically injured, it will be difficult to bring a legal claim against the school district because the law requires you to prove damages in order to have a case. Being nervous, scared or uncomfortable at school may not be enough to support a legal claim. As the saying goes, “They don’t make Band-Aids for hurt feelings.” Schools have a duty to protect your child from bullying, but often they look the other way or downplay it, telling parents “Kids will be kids.” They don’t seem to take bullying seriously and rarely punish the perpetrators severely. I have represented several children who have been bullied, assaulted or sexually harassed at school—one to the point of committing suicide. In almost every case, the school could have done more to prevent the bullying from happening. Indiana does have an anti-bullying law, but it’s not very strong. It only requires schools to have an anti-bullying policy and to report bullying
incidents to a database. But schools routinely under-report incidents of bullying and many parents mistakenly assume that they can sue a school if it does not follow this law, which says you can’t sue the school based only on its failure to follow the statute. In fact, if the school doesn’t comply with the statute, its non-compliance is not even admissible in court. If your child has been harmed, it may still be possible to hold the school responsible in a lawsuit. I’ve used different legal theories against schools where students have been bullied. Schools have a duty to supervise students, to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to protect students from reasonably foreseeable criminal acts—which bullying incidents often are. Students with special needs may have additional remedies available. My advice to parents whose children are being bullied is to document every incident (who, what, when, where). You can tell school staff what’s happening in person or over the phone, but it’s a good idea to put it in an email to your child’s principal, teacher and guidance counselor. Make a paper trail. Doing so makes it harder for the school to claim that it was unaware of the bullying. If your child is emotionally or physically harmed, you’ll want to show that the school knew or should have known that he was at risk of being injured. Schools like to defend these cases by arguing that the harm was not “reasonably foreseeable,” so telling school employees that your child is being bullied is important. Do not assume that the school will document the bullying properly—do it for them. When kids are hurt at school and parents bring a claim, evidence has a way of mysteriously disappearing. By sending the school staff emails, you will have proof that they knew your child was being bullied. If your child has been bullied at school and suffered physical or emotional harm as a result, feel free to call me at 317/569-2200 or email me at tblessing@hzlegal.com for a free consultation.

Springfield brings solo show to Palladium Nov. 5 By Lana Bandy editorial@youarecurrent.com Don’t be surprised if Rick Springfield seems a bit nostalgic when he hits The Palladium stage in Carmel live music for his concert. It seems Indiana holds a special place in the musician’s heart. “It was one of the first solo shows I ever did, so I dig it for that reason alone,” Springfield said. “We didn’t know what the reaction would be, but Indianapolis stood up and said, ‘We’ll book that show,’ so it’s very cool.” The show is the Australian rocker’s stripped down solo acoustic performance in which Springfield shares the stories behind his songs. After 40-plus years as a musician, actor and author, he recently told Current that audiences can expect to hear some popular gems. Q: What can fans expect that night? A: Expect the best, but be prepared for the worst. Wait...no, that’s North Korea, not my solo show. The solo show is very personal and intimate and it’s a lot of spontaneous stuff, so it’s a lot of fun for me, and I hope for the audience. It’s very differ-

ent from our band shows, different songs, different pace and different versions of hit songs. Q: What special highlights can you tell us about? A: There are songs that span my life, songs that were meaningful to me as a kid and new songs and the songs I am not allowed to leave the stage without playing. Q: Should we expect a lot of new music, quite a few old favorites or a little bit of everything? A: Everything, including getting busted if you get up during the show to go to the bathroom. Yep, it’s very intimate.
Q: Will we finally find out who Jessie’s girl is? A: I tell the stories about the moments in my life that became songs, so it makes it a storyteller-type show as well and, yes, I do tell the story that led to “Jessie’s Girl.” Q: You wrote that song and it was your first huge hit in the U.S. Does it still have special meaning to you or do you get tired of playing it at every show? A: No, it’s the first song that was a hit for me, so it has a special place in my soul. I’m proud of having written it and damn lucky no one wrote it before me. Q: You’ve continued your acting career that started with “General Hospital” in the ’80s. Can we expect to see you on TV this fall? A: Yes, you will. “American Horror Story,” but I’m looking for a show of my own and writing as well. Q: What is it that motivates you to keep touring after all these years? A: I love playing. I started when I was 14, and the bug bite is still there. It’s the greatest feeling to play music for people. I’ve always loved it, even when my voice hadn’t broken and I was singing crappy versions of Beatles songs.

Tailgating in inclement weather Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley With each tropical storm there seems to have been numerous games cancelled on the coasts and even further north into the plains and Midwest, where rains have caused trouble for serious picnickers that have planned a get-together with great friends and tasty food, done up right! What’s a tailgater to do? To endure inclement weather there are canopies (tents) that can be set up to provide overhead cover. To stop the wind from sailing your tent there are weights that fit over the canopy legs that can help. Don’t be afraid to use your vehicle to help anchor things with bungie cords and tape. Here’s a great inclement weather drink to warm your innards. Hot Buttered Rum Ingredients: 8 oz. of dark rum, 23 oz. apple cider, 3 cinnamon sticks, 1 clove, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice Preparation: Heat the mixture about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil - just

A master bedroom/bathroom makeover Commentary by Randy Sorrell More questions from the desk of Randy Sorrell, proprietor of Surroundings, in the Indiana Design Center. remodeling Q. We intend to remodel our master bathroom this winter but are having a difficult time visualizing the final product. Any suggestions? A. This is a common thought. Fortunately, there are a variety of tools to help you imagine what your bathroom (or kitchen, lower level, patio, etc.) will look like. A great place to start is by touring a few of the suppliers to gather inspiration. We like Jack Laurie and Ferguson in the Indiana Design Center. The Tile Shop and Lee Supply have wonderful vignettes, too. Spend time on Houzz and Pinterest and you will likely discover a few bathrooms with very similar layouts as yours. From there, it’s pretty easy to imagine your new space! However, the most powerful method of visualizing is with a 3-D design. It can really bring your space to life with the actual paint colors, tile and vanities that you hope to use. Q. How long should we expect for the project to take?

Wall Street Goes Hi-Tech
John R. Sarson, Managing Partner
Over the past several decades investors have seen “once-in-ageneration” market events taking place every few years. These erratic market movements are the result of a fundamental change that has occurred in the nature of the stock market. The catalyst for the change? Improving technology over the past two decades has dramatically improved the speed and efficiency with which institutional investors (hedge funds, pensions, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, etc.) are able to move vast sums of money in and out of securities. Computers now trade with one another instantly and anonymously, allowing even the largest investors to sell positions rapidly. The stock market’s increased long-run volatility is the unintended consequences of this change. We believe that the rise of computer-driven trading has caused the stock market to become increasingly susceptible to a “feedback-loop crash”, where automated selling generates more automated selling and sends indexes plunging. Barron’s magazine is also ringing the alarm bells. It warned in its cover story on Oct. 16th, that assets being run by computer driven “quantitative strategies” have nearly doubled since 2007 and now total nearly 1 trillion dollars. When asset prices do start to fall, quantitative portfolios will automatically sell positions helping their users avoid big losses. “Buyand-Hold” investors, we fear, will fare much worse. We believe that, similar to what happened in 2008, Main Street will again bear the brunt of the
losses in the market. Today we are in the midst of an upswing in the market and all is calm. You could be forgiven for thinking the market is the same level playing field it once was. Look at what is different today: remarkably high valuations. We believe the unusually high equity prices that we see are a function of institutional investors buying into an uptrend without regard for fundamentals. When the current uptrend reverses and the same investors seek to exit their positions, the resulting price drops could rival or exceed the losses experienced in 2008. At ETF Momentum Investing, LLC we believe the best way to protect yourself from a stock market that is controlled by computers is to have a risk management system in place that automatically reduces risk as prices drop - and to have it in place before the next major selloff. We developed our approach working with real clients, before, during and after the global financial crisis. Our investment process seeks to make investing safer and more profitable by mathematically optimizing portfolio exposure to diverse asset classes ranging from U.S. equities to cryptocurrencies. We believe investors of all sizes can reduce risk and increase returns by following trends in global assets.

Arch of Constantine in Rome. (Photo by Don Knebel)
The Arch of Constantine Commentary by Don Knebel The Arch of Constantine, near the Coliseum in Rome, memorializes an event that changed the direction of Western history. On Oct. 28, 312 A.D., Roman travel Emperor Constantine I defeated rival Emperor Maxentius in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, thereby gaining unquestioned control of the Western Roman Empire. Constantine credited his victory to a vision in which the Christian God told him to put the superimposed Greek letters Chi and Rho, symbolizing the Christ, on his soldiers’ shields. In 313 A.D., Constantine, joined by the Eastern Emperor, issued the Edict of Milan, ending the persecution of Christians and making Christianity legal throughout the Roman Empire. In 315 A.D., the 10th year of Constantine’s reign, the Roman Senate erected a massive arch honoring his victory at the Milvian Bridge. The three-portal arch, more than 82 feet wide and 65 feet high, straddled the Triumphal Way, the route by which the victorious Constantine had entered Rome, displaying the head of Maxentius. Identical inscriptions on either side near the top of
the arch attributed Constantine’s victory to the inspiration of a singular “divine,” suggesting that Constantine wanted to affirm his belief in one God while not offending Romans still believing in mulitple gods. Curiously, the arch uses statues and reliefs from monuments honoring earlier rulers. Even the carvings depicting Constantine, some showing a halo around his head, were re-worked from earlier carvings. Some speculate this reclamation was necessary because fourth century Romans had lost the skill to create great works of art. Others believe the re-use communicated the idea that Constantine was the epitome of earlier leaders. The Arch of Constantine is the last and largest Roman arch, inspiring, among others, the Arc d ’Triumph in Paris and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. The halo around the head of Constantine inspired later depictions of Jesus. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com.

A grammar horror story Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt On days like this, kids in costumes aren’t the only spooky things in the neighborhood. Did you know grammar guy commas can save innocent lives? I wanted to avoid controversial subjects like killing in this column, but here we are discussing the only two certainties in life: death and punctuation. In today’s article, I’m going to settle the Oxford comma debate once and for all. How’s that for a bold statement? Suppose I wanted to list a few (three, to be precise) of my favorite things. I could say: I like eating, children and small animals. That was intended to read as a list of three things–not a list of one thing followed by examples (although I’ve heard squirrel bacon is excellent!). Most people think the Oxford comma (a.k.a. the serial, series or Harvard comma) is at odds with the AP Stylebook. I’m not sure if this will come as a trick or a treat to you, but the AP Stylebook actually makes clear that it’s perfectly appropriate to use an Oxford comma when doing so helps to avoid confusion or misinterpretation. My general rule is: use commas sparingly. Pretend they’re shotgun shells and
you’re trying to survive in a zombie apocalypse. According to AP, “If a comma doesn’t help make clear what is being said, don’t use it.� I love secretly eating my child’s Skittles, Milky Ways and Butterfingers once he’s asleep. This sentence doesn’t need a comma after “Milky Ways� because it doesn’t provide further clarity in the sentence’s meaning, nor does it lead to misinterpretation. Hopefully, this nuanced take on the comma controversy provides a diacritical middle ground for the two feuding punctuation parties. I’m not naive enough to assume I will be able to change anyone’s mind on a polarizing topic such as this; I merely wanted to illustrate how two opposing factions can (theoretically) peacefully coexist. I know, I know you probably think this is a not-so-subtle way of addressing the ageold rivalry between vampires and werewolves. For the record, you are correct. I believe in a world in which vampires and werewolves can – and do – get along.

Dispatches Ironing board back saver – Working under the sink on your back isn’t exactly comfortable, especially when the sharp cabinet edge cuts into your shoulder blades. Make it more comfortable by lying on an ironing board. Set one end of the board inside the cabinet and support the other end with a scrap piece of two-by-four. It won’t make the repair any easier, but it’s definitely easier on your back. Source: FamilyHandyman.com Dryer sheet recycle tip – A sneaky way to keep the bathroom smelling fresh is to fold up a dryer sheet and stuff it inside the cardboard toilet paper roll. Every time someone spins the roll, the scent is dispersed! Source: FamilyHandyman.com
Shampoo to the rescue – Shampoo can multi-task if you are having a detergent emergency. If you have run out of dish soap or laundry detergent, you can substitute shampoo in a pinch. Make sure it’s the non-conditioning kind so you don’t end up with oily residue. A few drops for dirty dishes will do the trick. For a load of laundry, about onethird of a cup will be enough. Source: BottomLineInc.com
Scouring powder substitute – Most scouring situations can be solved with baking soda on a sponge, but if you need more oomph, add some salt. We add 6 tablespoons of table salt to one-half cup baking soda (leftovers placed in a well-labeled container). This blend works well on those stubborn stains in your tea and coffee mugs, without adding a harsh chemical flavoring. Source: BottomLineInc.com
