Christopher Lloyd reexamines the video stream-ing versus disc debate. The vast majority of new Netflix subscribers are streaming-only. Like competitors such as Hulu, Vudu, Amazon and others, they offer a large library of films and television shows. While the video quality can be on par with DVD, one of the prime benefits of streaming is the ability to watch anywhere on a smartphone, tablet or laptop computer.

Columnist Mike Redmond writes that you can’t plant a garden and be a pessimist. The act of putting seeds and starters into the soil is, to him, the very essence of optimism. You’re trusting that good things will happen – the radishes will sprout, the marigolds will bloom, the tomatoes will hang heavy on the vine, just like in the seed catalogs. Of course, optimism can become foolish optimism. Where gardening is concerned, he counts himself among the fools.Read more at www.currentinwestfield.com.

The Bible says few people will understand Christ. Columnist Bob Walters writes that’s easily the most provable statement in scripture.

DISPATCHES

Under consideration – Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said the proposed “Towers of Westfield” at the interchange of U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 will be discussed later next month at the city council meeting. Cook said the time to build them is in conjunction with the construction of the interchange. “It’ll be controversial,” Cook said, “because its art and some think it’s extrava-gant.” Bids for the project were submitted earlier this year.

Safe and secure – The Westfield Police Dept. collected 102 pounds of expired, unwanted, and unused prescription drugs during the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on April 26. This was the eighth opportunity in three years for citizens to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of unwanted prescription drugs.

Healthy transportation – Students at three Westfield Washington Schools will take to the streets and sidewalks as they pedal their way to class to celebrate National Bike to School Day on May 7. Bike to School Day provides an opportunity for schools across the nation to join together to celebrate active transportation and the benefits to children’s health, academic achievement and the environment. Teachers, parents, police offers and community leaders will join students for the morning ride.

Dedication – Organizers for the Angel of Hope in Noblesville’s Forest Park will dedicate the me-morial at 3 p.m. May 4. The Angel of Hope was inspired by the book “The Christmas Box” by au-thor Richard Paul Evans as a quiet and healing place where parents and families can remember their children. The Hamilton County memorial will be the 123rd Angel of Hope in the nation.

The commute – On April 25, crews closed the northernmost right-turn lane from westbound 96th Street to northbound U.S. 31. This lane clo-sure is expected to last about 60 days. During this time, motorists traveling on westbound 96th Street will still be able to access the east-bound I-465 ramp.

District requests $2.5M for stadium

EDUCATION

By Robert Herrington • [email protected]

Westfield Washington Schools is looking to part-ner with the city to increase economic development within Westfield and expedite construction of the

new community stadium.On behalf of the school dis-

trict, Supt. Dr. Mark Keen told the Westfield City Council on April 28 that for $2.5 million, the city could turn school land into assessed value and taxes. The funding allows the district to acceler-ate its timetable to sell 9.6 acres to developers, build a new football stadium and provide the city with a new tax base, projected as $40 million.

“You will start getting back your investment within two and a half to three years and then will be going forward with additional revenue,” Keen said. “The $2.5 million does not build a stadium. It gets us off the ground so the land can be developed.”

“It’s not a handout or a gift,” said Nick Verhoff, WWS executive director of business and operations. “This is economic development in the purest sense. It regenerates itself.”

Earlier this year, the district agreed to sell 14 acres just east of the U.S. 31-Ind. 32 interchange to a group of local Westfield investors. On the 9.6 acres west of Shamrock Boulevard, development plans include a three- to four-story office building and a hotel, whose name has not been released. The area is the current site of the school district’s football stadium and track and a baseball diamond.

“The value of the construction is approximately $40 million and they want to commence construc-tion as soon as possible. The buildings could impact 2016 payable taxes,” Keen said. “Land taxes would generate $80,000 and taxes on the commercial structures would generate $900,000.”

Verhoff said the 4.5 acres east of Shamrock Bou-levard is where the administration office is located. He said the district has the ability to remain in that space for five more years.

Officials said the football team will remain at the current stadium until the new one is built, which Keen projects to be during the season. While the stadium will not be completed, it will be capable of hosting games.

“We hope some football games will be played there this fall. Not in August, but some playoff games,” Keen said.

Mayor Andy Cook said the proposal offers direct

and indirect impact to the city. Directly, Cook said the 12-acre parcel can be developed commercially. “Indirectly, of our four quadrants this will be the first to be developed in a quality fashion. What we’ll see is other development coming,” he said.

Cook said funding for the project will come from the proceeds of the utility sale. He said the city would pay $1.5 million now and the other $1 million “when vertical improvements have begun.”

“The goal of the proceeds is to make investments in the community. Mostly roads, infrastructure im-provements and trails,” he said. “When it was first proposed, the council was very skeptical.”

Councilors have been meeting with school board members to discuss ways the two could work to-gether on economic development.

“It’s a great exercise that never really happened before,” Cook said.

“I know the stadium is 54 years old with old stands; the locker rooms are terrible and the track is shot. We need a remedy,” City Council President Jim Ake said.

Ake said the proposal is a win-win for the city and school district.

“That corner is very valuable – it’s a gateway to the city and the edge of Grand Junction. It’s an op-portunity for us to put it on the tax roll and a huge return on the investment,” he said. “We want to hear from the people what their thoughts are.”

City councilors can be contacted at [email protected]. Ake said the council will hold a public hearing on May 12. The proposal also will be up for adoption that evening.

Q&A with Erin Verplank

Many Westfield residents will know Erin Murphy from her work as the weekend morning anchor on WISH TV. But Murphy (now Erin Murphy Verplank) currently serves as the communications director for the City of Westfield. This month marks her six-month anniversary on the job.

Question: How did you wind up in Westfield?

Answer: I actually grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and came to Indiana by way of college when I attended Indiana Uni-versity in Bloomington. At IU, I majored in journal-ism and gender studies. It was at IU that I also met my husband, Gerrit. After school, I worked at several TV stations throughout the Midwest before landing an on-air job for WISH-TV. When we moved back to Indiana for my job with WISH TV, we just knew that Westfield was home. It’s a great community to live in and raise a family. We love it here.

Q: How did your background prepare you for your current role?

A: I started working for the city because work-ing in government excited me. While I enjoyed the work I did with WISH, it feels good going into work every day knowing that what we do makes an impact on people’s lives. I work with so many great people that each day I learn something new about how the city operates. Westfield

From sharing news to making itresidents are truly blessed to have so many dedicated and capable city employees who work hard to make this city move. I’m honored to be a part of that team.

Q: What exactly does the communi-cations department do?

A: Our department handles virtually every type of communication that the public sees. We handle media relations, operate the city website, cultivate our online relationships through our Face-book and Twitter pages, organize events and assist other departments with

their communication efforts as well. We hope to expand our role into more video-based com-munication, adding more and more to our Vimeo page. We also play a huge part in Super Services, our hospitality initiative that will help with West-field’s burgeoning tourism industry. It’s really an exciting time.

Q: What is your favorite thing about Westfield?

A: That’s a really tough question to answer. There are so many great things: trails, restau-rants, the schools. At the end of the day, I’d say the best thing about Westfield is the people who live and work here. Westfield is such a great community where people really look after each other. It is a wonderful place to call home.

Erin Murphy Verplank is the communications director for the city of Westfield. She can be reached at 804-3004 or [email protected].

What happened: CarDon Senior Living development

What it means: CarDon Development Company has proposed a 16-acre senior living community at the northeast corner of 146st Street and Ditch Road. The $14 million proposal includes an initial phase of construction of a one- and two-story facility of approximately 117,500 square feet. The project will consist of approximately 104 skilled nursing beds and 36 assisted living apartments. The skilled nursing portion will divide four neighborhoods of two beds for short-term rehabilitation, memory care and long-term care. The land is currently vacant and used for agriculture.

What’s next? The development was approved 6-1 with Cindy Spol-jaric casting the lone dissenting vote.

What happened: Amendment to Spring Mill Trails development

What it means: Redwood Acquisition, LLC, requested an amendment to the Springmill Trails development to permit a polymeric siding as an approved exterior material for single-family attached or multi-family homes constructed on approximately 20 acres of the mixed-use district. The product has been previously approved by the council for other developments and is considered to be a superior to approved exterior building materials.

What’s next? The amendment was unanimously approved by the council. The petitioner also has added one bicycle rack for four bicycles near the rental of-fice and one bicycle rack for two bicycles near the dog park.

White gloves and wide-brimmed Derby hats festooned with feathers and big bows will be all the rage at the sixth annual Tea Time with Mom

on May 10 at Ritz Charles in Carmel.Tea Time with Mom is a throwback to frilly tea rooms

and sophisticated ladies’ luncheons of a bygone era with the added benefit of health education for women of all ages. The event is held in conjunction with Mother’s Day and offers tea service with an elegant lunch of soup, salad and assortments of desserts.

Keynote speaker Dr. Samantha Bouchie of Community Physician Network will feature a presentation titled “The Heart of a Woman: A Healthy Body Today…A Life-time of Tomorrows.” Dr. Marissa Trout of Community Heart and Vascular Hospital will give a talk titled, “The Queen of Hearts Presents Tempting Tarts.”

Community Health Network leaders also will take to the runway, mod-eling the latest spring fashions from several area boutiques.

A silent auction is planned for the afternoon with key items offered including baskets for wine and beer enthusiasts, a George Hill auto-graphed Pacers jersey, spa gift certificates, at-home spa kits, an exclu-sive girls’ night out at AH Collection for a private style party and various art pieces for any style collector.

Proceeds from the silent auction and ticket sales will support the se-nior meal initiatives at Community Health Network hospitals.

“In 2013, Tea Time with Mom funds raised enough money for over 2,000 meals for seniors,” said Community Health Network organizing committee member Katy Troxell. “Currently, we have over 800 seniors enrolled in the senior meal program and provide over 700 meal vouchers monthly.”

Tickets are $25 a person or $180 for a reserved table of eight. Register by calling (800) 777-7775 or online at www.ecommunity.com/touchpoint.

CONSTRUCTION

EvENT

By Lauren Olsen • [email protected]

The dust has settled, and the heavy equipment has been cleared from the parking lot; the Westfield Washington Library

is in its last days of construction. All that is left to do is the landscaping outside the building and re-arranging

some shelving and books inside.“I can’t wait for it to be exactly what we envisioned,” WWPL

Director Sheryl Sollars said. “I think it turned out wonderfully.”Sollars expects everything to be completed shortly and

plans to have a grand re-opening in June. The entire project cost $2 million and included a new 1,500-square-foot commu-nity room, a separate teen area, an expanded children’s area, a new entrance, circulation desk, computer lab, audiovisual area, public restrooms and four new study rooms.

Throughout the entire 11-month construction project things have gone smoothly, with the exception of some weather related issues over the winter.

“We kept very close to the budget,” Sollars said.Parts of the newly renovated library are already in use and

the library held an employee appreciation dinner as its first event in the new community room. They are holding classes in the new computer room and began “story-time” in the up-dated children’s pit on April 21.

“The biggest transformation has been creating more public space with study rooms and the community room. We tried to minimize the staff area so we could expand the area for the community,” Sollars said.

The library is already getting calls about booking the new community room, and plans to rent the room free of charge for nonprofits; they have not yet finalized terms of use for

other groups yet.“I want to thank the community for its patience while we

moved everything around, and also for their loyalty and stay-ing with us. I’m so thankful to my staff for providing great customer service throughout this whole process,” Sollars said.

Meet your teacher, Amber van Den BergGrade/subject: Instructional coach, Westfield

Washington SchoolsNumber of years teaching: 10Background/schooling: Appleton East High

School (Wisconsin); B.S. Middle/Secondary Educa-tion, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse; and M.A. Adult Education, Indiana University, Bloomington.

Why did you become a teacher? After real-izing in my freshman year of college that I did not want to become an accountant (way too much alone time in a cubicle!), I reflected on peo-ple who appeared to enjoy their jobs. I thought about the year prior, and my twelfth-grade Eng-lish teacher, Ms. Strom. Her actions in the class-room showed me that it was possible to balance moving students on the trajectory of learning, but also have incredible rapport with each stu-dent. I realized by watching her that educating students and showing students you cared could work in tandem, and I thought there couldn’t be a better job than that and certainly not one that could match those invaluable blessings!

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? There is nothing bet-ter than reading with your child. Whether it be through modeling of reading yourself, bedtime stories, reading road signs while in the car, or intentional focus on words, reading is at the center of every class. It is also imperative that parents see the value of talking about school every day with their child. Articulat-ing the importance and value of school and mak-ing it a part of daily conversation aids in children being motivated and engaged at school.

What is your favorite movie? “The Notebook”

Who is your favorite musician or band? Dave Matthews Band

What’s something your students might not know about you? I got my appendix taken out at age 8.

The restaurant space on the south end of Clay Terrace Mall has been reborn since the former Stanford’s restaurant became Henry’s Pub and

Grill.Henry’s opened May 1. The concept was developed

by the Seattle-based Restaurants Unlimited, and is based on its Henry’s Tavern restaurants in Seattle, Plano, Texas, and Portland.

“We are excited to bring this urban tavern concept to Carmel,” said general manager Mark Schaefer. “It’s a great spot for families looking to have an excellent meal in a casual environment, but we also plan to be a late-night destination in the bar. We have 23 large-screen televisions and two shuffleboard tables, so there’s plenty to keep you entertained.”

Henry’s offers lunch and dinner seven days a week, with late-night kitchen hours. Both the lunch and dinner menus feature a nice array of made-from-scratch appetizers, salads, artisan sandwiches, burgers, pastas, meats and fish, sourcing local items whenever possible.

Stand-out items include: Granny’s “Chedda” Corn Bread, Sesame Ginger Ahi Tuna Salad, Fet-tuccine Jambalaya, Bangers and Mash and Gor-gonzola Waffle Fries.

Many of the sauces and other dishes use craft beer as an ingredient, or are specifically de-signed to pair well with craft beers. Henry’s will

Hamilton County residents will have a new place to eat, drink and hang out when Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern opens its doors at 2740 E.

146th Street with a grand opening celebration at 11 a.m. May 4.

The restaurant will be quite large, with 200 seats in 4,700 square feet. The décor will feature historical artwork from Westfield and the surrounding area and Bagger Dave’s signature electric train running through the main dining room and bar.

The restaurant will employ around 80 people.Founded in 2008, Bagger Dave’s is a concept

of Diversified Restaurant Holdings and is based in Southfield, Mich. There are currently six in Indiana, with a another store planned for Fish-ers in the near future.

The restaurant’s focus is on fresh, never fro-zen meats. That includes burgers, prime rib and ground turkey.

The burgers are offered with more than 30 toppings to customize your choice and served with fresh-cut fries. Because of the wide variety of choices, there are order sheets on the table for you to mark your customized burger.

For those who don’t care for ground beef, there are all-natural chicken and vegetarian black bean burgers as well. Interesting sides include sweet potato chips and Cajun and sea salt tortilla chips. Bagger Dave’s is also known

for hand-dipped milkshakes and ice cream floats.

“We are excited to bring our new prime rib recipe, fresh ingredients, and winning customer service to Westfield, Carmel and the people of Indiana,” said Michael Ansley, president and CEO of Bagger Dave’s.

The average price is $6 to $8 for a burger. There are several items on the kids menu for $4.50 and a gluten-free menu is offered as well.

Once you have �led your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and your spouse has received notice that the divorce has been �led, it is often helpful for the parties to establish the “ground rules” which will govern certain aspects of their conduct during the pendency of the divorce. Issues that should be addressed preliminary are the custodial and parenting time arrangement, possession of the marital residence, payment of child support and payment of marital expenses. These issues are referred to as “provisional issues.”

If you believe that such ground rules are needed, a provisional hearing (also referred to as a “preliminary hearing”) should be requested in your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Once you request the provisional hearing, the court will schedule the matter to be heard and notify each party (or their attorneys) of the hearing date. Typically provisional hearings are very short and can last anywhere from �fteen to thirty minutes, though there are instances where a longer hearing is needed. Due to these time constraints, it is often bene�cial for the parties to reach an agreement on all provisional issues. If an agreement can be reached, the terms are reduced to writing and submitted to the court for approval. There are a number of bene�ts to reaching an agreement rather than going to court, including: crafting terms of an agreement to meet your families’ needs; saving the expenses associated with preparing and attending a hearing; setting and/or maintaining an amicable relationship

between the divorcing parties; and reducing the stress and anxiety a hearing can cause.

In the event that you and your spouse cannot resolve the temporary issues, you will be required to attend the provisional hearing. This can be a particularly important part of the divorce proceeding. Parties would be well advised to use the preliminary hearing as a forum to position arguments that will be made at the �nal hearing. However, it is important to realize that due to the fact that the hearings are often very short, the parties are often the only witnesses and their testimony will be limited to basic matters. Therefore, discussing and preparing your requests with your attorney prior to the hearing is imperative. Following the provisional hearing, the judge will issue a provisional order that will typically remain in effect until your case is resolved. Often times, the order is provided at the conclusion of the hearing. At some point after the preliminary hearing, the parties will typically enter into negotiations on a �nal settlement, and if a settlement cannot be reached, prepare for the �nal hearing.

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, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our �rm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Westfield’s Jim and Stephanie Yott have lived through the process of having – and ultimately

losing – a seriously ill child. They understand the impact of caring for a sick

loved one and are helping to make the journey easier on other families.

“When Emily was sick and in the hospital for six months, lots of people came out of the wood-work,” Stephanie said. “People would send us money or serve us food.”

“They were small but all of them together made such a big impact. You have an obligation. You do feel like you have to help others. A ‘thank you’ seemed inefficient,” Jim said. “We want to pay it forward.”

Their inspirationEmily Yott was diagnosed with leu-

kemia shortly after her first birthday in 2006. After 14 months of intense treatment, including a stem cell trans-plant at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. Despite all efforts, Emily passed away on May 1, 2007, at age 2.

“Once you get the news it’s one-way through the door. Everything is differ-ent now,” Jim said. “We literally went to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital clinic and were told, ‘We’re admitting you’ and were there for six weeks.”

She was the first of three pediatric cancer patients of the former Clarian North Hospital. All had different types of leukemia. The Yotts said Emily had three different rounds of chemo, but nothing worked. Emily was in remis-sion September 2006 but the illness returned November 2006.

“She got to be better for awhile but it ulti-mately failed,” Stephanie said.

For half of Emily’s short life, she grew up in various hospital rooms.

“She walked, talked and got all of her teeth in the hospital,” Stephanie said. “Looking back at the experience, in all the photos we were smil-ing. We were living our life because people were so good to us. The doctors and nurses (that cared for Emily) are still friends.”

Jim said Emily was a chubby baby who loved dogs and Barney and enjoyed the occasional McDonald’s cheeseburger.

“There was something especially charming about her – her blond, blond hair and twinkling eyes,” he said. “To get from here to there she rolled. She was a gift, even for a short time.”

The Emily Yott Foundation will host its sixth annual Lemonade Stand and Carni-val Fundraiser from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 17 at The Village Farms Clubhouse, 453 E. Greyhound Pass.

There will be carnival games, a rock wall, bounce houses, Indy Game Truck – The Ultimate Video Game Theater, face painter and balloon artists for children. For adults there will be an Indiana Blood Bank blood drive, vendor fair and silent auction. Hot dogs, popcorn, lemonade and Chik-fil-A will also be available. Cost is $15 for kids and provides access to all entertainment. Adults are not charged.

The foundation uses 100 percent of the proceeds to financially assist families facing childhood cancer, grant wishes, award college scholarships to survivors, and support programs sponsored by Riley Hospital for Children. For more information, call 281-0970 or visit www.emilyyottfoundation.com.

Stephanie and Jim Yott deal with many families that are caring for sick children. They provided the following advice they share with other parents:• Live in the moment – “Live in the

moment because you don’t know what time will bring. Try to focus on that child. Be an advocate for your child, especially if they can’t speak for themselves,” Stephanie said.

• People react differently – “Men go to the worst case scenario and think about finances. Moms often go in a different direction (more protective),” Jim said.

• Let others help you – “It’s really hard to let others help you but you have to. These people want to help you; you need to let them help you. You’ll never be able to pay them back but you can pay it forward. The experience is so humbling,” Jim said.

• Don’t blame yourself – “Don’t spend time and make thoughts that ‘I did something.’ Our doctor said you weren’t the reason,” Stephanie said.

“Emily’s illness was one in 2 million. It just is what it is,” Jim said.

Stephanie and Jim Yott are helping other families in need through the loss of their daughter

Starting the foundationWith an initial grant from the Tony Stewart

Foundation, the Yotts created an endowment in Emily’s name with the Legacy Fund at Central Indiana Community Foundation. Stephanie said the endowment allows them to assist other nonprofits. To support families in need, the Yotts created a charitable foundation in Emily’s memory in 2007.

“We realize the amount of money isn’t going to cure cancer,” Jim said. “But at the grassroots level we can help people pay rent, utilities, mort-gages or keep the electricity turned on.”

Continuing supportThe foundation also supports organizations

that help families in similar situations, including Indiana Canine Assistant Network, Riley Hospital for Children, A Special Wish Foundation and Pey-ton Manning Children’s Hospital.

“We have remained somewhat small inten-tionally. However, in the past couple of years we have really grown and seem to have quite a bit of momentum,” Stephanie said.

The Yotts work personally with Riley Hospital and have granted several college scholarships for cancer survivors. Riley recently asked them

to exclusively support their “Sibling Hero” award. “They actually asked us to name it. The ‘Sibling Hero’ program grants wishes to the siblings that do-nate their bone marrow to a sick broth-er or sister,” Stephanie said, adding the award recognizes those siblings that get lost in the shuffle. “The kids are so sweet and are just being drug along. They’re sometimes confused and they just want to be a kid.”

To date, the foundation has pro-vided three $500 wishes to “Sibling Heroes” including an iPad Air, laptop computer and a shopping spree.

In 2013, Stephanie said they pro-vided $15,000 in assistance.

“We hope to double that in 2014, she said. “We really are passionate about helping these families in crisis.”

The foundation is in its seventh year and continues to evolve.

“We have definitely dialed it in,” Steph-anie said. “This is the first year requests and needs have outpaced funds. We’re trying to step up our fundraising.”

Stephanie said the annual Lemon-ade Stand and Carnival Fundraiser

is May 17 and assists with raising $10,000 to $15,000 for the foundation.

“Kids have a great time. They have free run of the place for a few hours,” Stephanie said. “Not a day goes by we don’t think about her. She’d be 9. Each year we celebrate Emily and help people in the pro-cess. We still keep her memory and spirit alive.”

The Yotts are planning to expand the founda-tion’s fundraising with a partnership with the City of Westfield. In the fall of 2015, the two would like to host a Beer Fest/Taste of West-field event in Asa Bales Park. The event would become an annual fundraiser and move to Grand Junction Park and Plaza once completed.

“Kids in our community are getting sick and word is getting out,” Stephanie said. “As long as there are we are going to try to help them.”

COvER STORY

Last year, the foundation purchased Christ-mas presents for six families and also provided gas cards for those traveling to treatments and parking passes at hospitals.

“You lose your sense of normalcy; everything’s turned upside down. We want to make it so they can not worry about paying bills. They need to focus on their little son or daughter that’s sick,” Stephanie said.

“We also provide parent care packages with toiletries. When Emily was admitted she started chemo later that day. Sometimes you have noth-ing but the clothes on your back. It may seem trivial but it’s huge,” Jim said.

Jim said all of the foundation’s board mem-bers are volunteers and the organization has no overhead or compensation so all funds go to sick children and families.

Face painting was one of the multiple activites for children at last year’s fifth annual Lemonade Stand and Carnival fundraiser.

The Yott family visits Barney and friends in Orlando.

Jim and Stephanie Yott deliver Christmas presents to six families at Riley Children’s Hospital in December.

The “Build the Rock” campaign seems to have stalled at $7.5 million with $10 million needed to build a new 5,000-seat football stadium with artificial turf. Supt. Dr. Mark Keen of Westfield-Washington Schools has asked Westfield City Council to fill in the gap with $2.5 million. It seems to us the correct move to make. The current stadium will be razed at some point to make room for develop-ment (and tax income!) at U.S. 31 and Ind. 32. The schools will sell 14 acres to local inves-tors already committed to an approximately $40-million project. It could attract subsequent development and, therefore, more tax revenue. So the stadium need a new home, and it needs more money to get a new home. Even though the council and schools don’t neces-sarily intersect financially on a routine basis, for our city this potential payment helps to create a winning environment for Westfield. Since school-owned land is not taxed, any “gift” from the council to the schools would be repaid, if you will, in the form of those coming tax dollars. It should take about three years, and it just makes good business sense. Decide for yourself, though, and feel free to offer your comments about the idea at the next council meeting, scheduled for May 12.

May 6 is the date of the primary election. We don’t want election information in the paper on election days, as delivery of Current can happen into the late-afternoon hours; that does you no good on Election Day.

enough to cover the expense of our State and Federal governments for the year. While the so-called tax freedom day arrived 3 days later than it did in 2013, citizens can now focus our attentions and labor at our own pursuits. Education, housing, food and leisure are among the priorities likely to be addressed. Yet at a rate unparalleled globally, we Americans share. We give away more, in all three categories measured by The Charity Aid Foundation – time, money and support of strang-ers, than any country rich or poor. A significant and growing amount of our collective toil will go to the benefit of our communities.

A generous friend invited us to join the Heart of Gold Ball at his table. Inspired by his leadership, we will participate joyfully – and contribute. I suspect many of you will too – check out: www.bestheartcare.com/2011/04/26/the-heart-of-gold-ball.

Commentary by Terry Anker

On May 14, the American Heart Association here in Indiana will host hundreds of attendees at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis for its paramount fundraising gala, the Heart of Gold Ball. Raising more than $500,000 annually, the event funds pediatric cardiovascular research, increases awareness of childhood obesity, and supports education and advocacy. But perhaps even more importantly, it brings together civic and community leaders, friends and family to spend a Saturday night out for a good cause.

These United States have long benefited from a somewhat unique approach to problem solv-ing. We work together garnering private support, financially and otherwise, to confront the issues pressing ourselves and fellow citizens. Certainly, government has taken an ever increasing role in choosing both the priority and the intensity of allowed interest in matters of philanthropy. But happily, most of us continue to be directly concerned in an abundance of causes dedicating much towards addressing them.

By April 21, we productive Hoosiers have earned

Editor,I have intended to write you all year to let

you know how much my family and I continue to enjoy Don Knebel’s column in the Current. We are Westfield residents. Currently, I “virtual school” two of my children via K12, a classically-flavored online charter school. They are current-ly in grades four and seven. My children’s cur-riculum includes extensive geography and world history. As an enrichment activity, I have them read and discuss with me your weekly columns. Several are taped to our home classroom wall. This morning, I opened the paper to your article about the Hagia Sophia. My eight-year-old grabbed it out of my hands in excitement, anxious to read more about the building he had studied during his unit on the conquering of Constantinople. It is my hope that your column will continue for many more years. It is a wel-come enhancement to the intellectual quality of the paper and, consequently, our community.

Michelle Foley, 46074

Heartfelt thanks

Column raises up entire community

I’ve been fortunate to have special ladies in my life – my saint of a mother, my wife, my sister (who while not a mother gets a nod), mother-in-law and grandmothers. May 11 is a special day to thank them for all the little things and the big impact they make on my life. This year it will be twice as special for me because not only do I get to celebrate it with our 2-year-old daughter but my wife is on her way to becoming a two-time mom. Yes, I’m happy to announce that we are expecting in early October. I wish all the mothers out there a happy and relaxing day filled with the same love and joy I hope my wife has on May 11 – and the days that precede and follow it.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

My husband and I have been talking at length about the death of our parents. It’s not that

we’re plotting to bump them off in some diabolical scheme to access their life insurance policies; we’re

just concerned that we don’t know what their wishes are after they die. Who gets the heirloom ring? The second house? Do they want to be bur-ied, and if so, where? Is cremation on the table? Doo is one of six kids and I am one of five, and neither of us wants to debate these questions while we are grieving. Luckily both sets of par-ents are healthy, but you just never know. (Next year my folks will embark on a 31-day cruise around South America where ships sink all the time!) Over the past month, we’ve broached the subject, to get the conversation at least started. Our parents’ responses have been fascinating.

Both fathers were clearly uncomfortable talk-ing about their mortality. My dad seemed particu-larly agitated: “Your mother’s getting everything so don’t worry about it. If we both go, you five are on your own. Figure it out.” Then he promptly left the room. My mom on the other hand, imme-diately went to get a file which contains all her notes on their funeral arrangements. Yes, she has a “file.”

“People plan weddings and retirement parties. Why can’t I plan for this?” she asked. We talked for 45 minutes on her memorial service, which is

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

“Am I hip?” I asked my wife the other day.“Heavens no,” she said. “And the proof is

that no one uses that expression anymore.”

That really scared me because I’m depending on some hipness to carry me through May 15. That’s when I return to teach at the high school in New York where I taught from 1969 to 1978 and the very place I graduated from in 1965. That first year of teaching, my colleagues called me Mr. Kotter, a reference to the old TV series Welcome Back, Kotter, where the main character returns to his alma mater to join the faculty. I tried to take this as a compliment.

I will have students next month who were not alive in 1970. Wait a second – I will have stu-dents whose parents weren’t alive in 1970. No, that’s not possible, is it? Let me do the math. I shouldn’t be torturing myself like this.

Why am I headed back to the classroom for a single day? When I retired 35 years ago, I had not taught long enough to be vested in the pension plan. But recently a new law reduced the number of years required to be eligible for benefits.

To receive my back pension, I have to rejoin the New York State Retired Teachers’ Associa-tion, which requires one more day of teaching in order to be reinstated. I also had to get a charac-ter reference, so I called one of my first students

Saying goodbye to the folks

Welcome back

to include three eulogizers (she already has them picked out) and her signature song, Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary.” There is to be no urn or casket or any sad music, and we are to donate her body to the local medical school. “I taught for 33 years; there is no reason I should stop because I’m dead!” Yes, I have an awesome mom.

But when asked about “the estate,” she ad-mitted she hadn’t thought much about it. My parents have a will, but it hasn’t been updated in a while, and no executor has been appointed. My dad can’t understand why I should care about this. But here’s the deal. If we don’t learn their wishes until after they’re gone, then we can’t ask questions if we need clarity or context. And unfortunately, that can cause brothers and sisters to bicker, fight, or even worse, sever rela-tionships. All because of a stupid heirloom ring? No thank you.

So we’re both going to keep pestering our par-ents to make some tough decisions, and more importantly, communicate those decisions to at least a couple of family members. If they want to give everything to dear Aunt Mary, so be it. They just need to tell us before they die!

Peace out.

who always said I was his favorite teacher.“Reuben, I’m going back to New Rochelle High

School to teach for a day. You probably think I’m a little old to be doing this again.”

“You’re not too old, and you’ll do a great job in the classroom. I’d bet my first Social Security check on it – the one I got in the mail yesterday.”

I emailed one of the teachers I worked with in 1978. Paula, who is still teaching there, advised me that things have changed a lot.

“We introduce all the new technology. We use laptops, iPads, global positioning devices, smart boards, and interactive learning touchscreens. Students are fascinated with anything new.”

I’m still not sure what I am going to teach, but I’d love to discuss what was going on back in the era of Watergate, Vietnam, Roe v. Wade, and Kent State. (I wonder if they teach ancient his-tory at the high school level.)

In the ’70s, gas prices were soaring, veterans were returning from a war that many people thought was a mistake, the federal government bailed out Chrysler and there was unrest in Iran. Come to think of it, I know exactly what to talk about.

T H I S W E E kKlipsch’s 2014 season offers variety, venue updatesBy Dawn Pearson • [email protected]

Music fans of all genres have a lot to look forward to this summer at Klipsch Music Center, and they can thank themselves for the up-

grades and famous artists perform-ing in the open arena in Noblesville.

Country band Rascal Flatts kicks off the summer concert series, which includes acts from country to rock to rap to ’70s groups.

“The country genre continues to become more popular and make no mistake about it, this is not your grandfather’s country music,” said Andrew Newport, general manager for North American Concerts and Live Nation.

Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban will all make stops through this summer, too.

Fans have new country artists to look forward to as well as camping in Klipsch’s campground.

“We’re thrilled to be hosting two nights of Luke Bryan on Aug. 29 and 30 and will open our on-site campground,” Newport said. “We’re also very excited to host Dierks Bently who is head-lining Klipsch for the first time on Sept. 27.”

Classic rock also will be alive and rolling in Noblesville this summer.

“A bittersweet date for us this summer is with Motley Crue with Alice Cooper. While we love hosting these guys, we understand that this is their final tour,” he said. “So if you’ve ever wanted to see them, this could be your last chance to rock out with them.”

Jimmy Buffett travels with one the world’s most “enviable tailgate parties,” and Journey will appear with Steve Miller Band and Tower of Power - one of those shows where everyone will sing along every word to every song.

“KISS & Def Leppard will be stopping by on Aug. 22, and if you haven’t seen either of these bands before, you need to,” Newport said.

There are many new artists performing for the first time as well.

“We love seeing artists that are relatively new to the scene and this year will showcase One Republic, Kings of Leon, Fall Out Boy, Wiz Khalifa and the Goo Goo Dolls,” according to Newport. “Fall Out Boy is a Warped Tour alumni which will visit Indy on July 3. We always enjoyed seeing shots of our venue on Warped Roadies show that airs on FUSE TV.”

And it wouldn’t be summer without Klipsch’s staple, multi-night performer Dave Matthews Band. They will be visiting at the end of June.

“We’ll be camping for two nights of DMB,” he said.

Whereas the band has toured with opening acts historically, this year the shows will be an

evening with Dave Matthews Band. “We’re hearing that in addition to the band’s

normal sets, there may also be some acoustic songs as well,” he said. “We are excited to see what changes the band will make to their live show this year.”

Newport credits the music lovers for their support.

“We’re fortunate enough to book some in-credible artists every season and should thank the fans for coming out year after year. It’s because of the fans that we’re able to continue to bring many of the industry’s hottest acts to Indiana,” he said. “We can’t wait to open the doors to se so many familiar faces and hopefully some new ones as well.”

It’s the story of two women - one a feisty 90-year-old cancer patient who has returned home to die, the other her volunteer hospice

worker grieving the death of her only child. The unlikely friendship is the focus of Main Street Pro-

ductions’ latest offering, “Grace & Glorie.”“It’s the lovely story of two women from

different walks of life who come together and become friends,” said director Doug Davis. “In the process they discover they have a lot in common through the tribulations they have gone through in their personal lives.”

“Grace & Glorie” – set in the Blue Ridge Moun-tains - features Marty Essig as Grace and Kristen Wilson as Glorie. Wilson has appeared in two other Main Street shows and is directing the upcoming production of “Diary of Anne Frank,” and she said the script touched her heart.

“It was an opportunity for me to bring a beau-tiful story to life,” Wilson said. “It hit home for me because I moved back here from Florida to take care of my grandmother. She is 91 and has Alzheimer’s. I wanted her to be able to stay in her home where she is comfortable. Doing this play lets me tell my story and doing something I love - acting.”

Davis said patrons can expect a really inter-esting night at the theater.

“It’s a neat piece – a mixture of comedy and some drama in there. Mostly at Westfield we do comedy but this has nice mixture,” Davis said. “You

Based on one of the most pop-ular Disney films of all time and opening May 15, this musical is

nothing short of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to

England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family how to value each other again.

Nominated for seven Tony Awards, “Mary Pop-pins” includes a score filled with timeless clas-sics such as “A Spoonful of Sugar,” “Step in Time” and the Academy Award-winning “Chim-Chim Cher-ee.”

The Beef & Boards production stars Cara Statham Serber - most recently seen as Maria in “The Sound of Music” - Buddy Reeder as Bert, Eddie Curry as George Banks and local young performers Kennedy Mar-tin as Jane Banks and Logan Sejas as Michael Banks.

Commentary by Bill Demaree

While many retirees often adopt a snowbird mentality where they spend some, if not all,

of their retirement in warmer climates, many individuals and couples are beginning to recog-

nize the benefits of strategically relocating to new areas for reasons other than warmth.

Hamilton County and its cities have consis-tently been recognized as some of the top places to live in the United States, but families and those in the middle of their career aren’t the only ones taking notice.

Retirees living on a fixed income are continu-ing to find creative ways to maximize their assets, and the metropolitan Indianapolis area, including Carmel, provides ample opportunities for them to stretch their dollar a little further.

One of the big draws for the Indianapolis re-gion is the relatively low cost of living. In fact, in 2013, the Indianapolis region was nearly 10 per-cent below the national average for cost of living for the entire United States.

Housing prices are also well below the nation-al average. The National Association of Realtors put the median home price nationally in 2013 at $196,900, while the Indianapolis area was nearly $60,000 less at $134,500.

For retirees living on a budget, both of these factors can greatly influence the way they live.

Area emerging as retiree destinationHaving to spend more on groceries or a mort-gage could translate into less money to spend on traveling, hobbies or other personal pursuits. A lower cost of living will help extend the assets that have taken them a lifetime to accumulate, and, for retirees looking to downsize, the Indiana housing market provides much more bang for the buck.

Together, these considerations lead to a higher quality of life and provide retirees with additional resources to better take advantage of local amenities without having to worry about draining their retirement savings or spending outside of their budget.

One thing is for certain, successful retirement takes planning and dedication. It also requires in-dividuals and couples to set goals for themselves regarding the type of lifestyle they want to live when they retire.

Whether they seek an active lifestyle, a peace-ful destination or a mix of both, Hamilton County and the metro area provide plenty of opportuni-ties for retirees to stretch their assets further and achieve their retirement goals.

Bill Demaree owns Demaree Retire-ment Services, which specializes in safeguarding and growing assets for clients in or approaching retirement and helping to meet their retirement goals. For more information visit www.demareeretirementservices.com.

Paper Social Security statements are back - The Social Security Administration will resume mailing paper earnings state-ments to many Americans in September. The mailed statements fell victim to budget cuts in 2011. But if you’ve signed up to view your benefits statements online, you will not get the mailed statement. AARP said the mailed earnings statements are important for many Americans, because so few people - about 11 million - have signed up to read them online. The Social Security Administration decided to reinstate mailed statements after receiving pressure from the paper industry and advocacy groups for the elderly and other Americans who do not have regular access to the Internet.

Avoid unexpected student loan defaults - Student loan borrowers are suddenly being thrown into default when the co-signer on their loan - often a parent or grandparent - dies or files for bankruptcy. Even if they are current on their payments, some borrowers are immediately being placed in default and told to repay the loan in full because their co-signer can no longer back them financially, according to a report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. These so-called “auto-defaults” came to light during an analysis of nearly 3,600 student loan and student loan-related debt collection complaints submitted to the CFPB’s consumer complaint database between October 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014. To avoid surprise defaults, the CFPB recom-mends immediately contacting your lender to request that your co-signer be released from the loan if he or she has passed away or filed for bankruptcy.

Commentary by James Smith, MD, IU Health Physicians Women’s Health – North

While regular mammograms are a recom-mended part of preventive healthcare, some

women delay scheduling them for a variety of reasons. Understanding the facts – and

dispelling the myths – of mammography can help relieve anxiety and shed light on why undergoing regular screening mammograms is so important.

Family historyMost women diagnosed with breast cancer –

nearly 85 percent – have no family history of the disease. If breast cancer does run in your family, you’re at increased risk of developing it. Talk with your doctor about your family history and any other risk factors you may have.

AgeFor all women, increasing age is a risk factor

for breast cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that women age 40 and older have annual screening mammograms. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force suggests screen-ing every two years for women ages 50 to 74. Discuss these guidelines with your doctor. He or she can help determine, based on your medical history and personal risk factors, when and how often you should have mammograms.

Pain and discomfortSome women put off scheduling mammo-

grams because they’ve heard they are painful.

The truth about mammogramsThe test takes just a few minutes, and any discomfort you may feel is brief. To help minimize discomfort, schedule the test after your period ends when your breasts are less sensitive. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever before the appointment to alleviate pain.

No breast problems or lumpsMammograms can detect small tumors up to

three years before they can be felt. Treatment is most effective when breast cancer is diagnosed in the early stages.

Concern about radiationWhile mammograms do expose women to

radiation, the amount is quite low and presents little risk. Mammograms are considered safe and effective for diagnosing breast cancer early, which leads to a better chance for cure.

Be sure to see your doctor if you notice any changes in your breasts, such as lumps, thicken-ing or discharge. In your efforts to engage in preventive care for your good health, consider the importance of regular mammograms.

The average time it takes a person to walk off calories is usually based off of a 140-pounds person walking a 2.5 mile pace. A glazed doughnut would take 1.7 hours to walk off. One 42 ounce, 400 calorie pop would take 2.8 hours. Walking is good, but it needs to be accompanied by a healthy diet. Fruits and water not only take less time to walk off, but also when accompanied by walking decrease the risk of Type 2 Diabetes by 31 percent. -IUHealth.com

Zero-calorie drinks seem like a good decision, but have many negative side effects. Artificial sweet-eners have a very bold flavor unlike real sugars. Long-term consumption of artificial sweeteners overtime can make your senses unenlightened by naturally sweet foods. Large amounts of sweet-ener can also lead to severe migraines and osteo-porosis. -health.com

Commentary by Don Knebel

At a time when much of Europe was still intellectually asleep, Fes el Bali (Old Fes) was

the “Athens of Africa.” Today this walled city within Fes, Morocco, is the world’s largest automobile free

urban area, with 9,000 twisting streets so nar-row in places that loaded donkeys cannot easily pass.

Idris I founded the city of Fes el Bali in 789 AD as the capital of his new Islamic Empire. The University of Al-Karaouine, now the world’s old-est university, was established in the city in 859. By the twelfth century, Fes el Bali had become an international center of Islamic learning and culture. Its population of 200,000 made it the largest city in the world. When Maimonides, the great Jewish philosopher and physician, left Cordoba, Spain, in about 1160 because of growing tension between Jews and Muslims, he settled in Fes el Bali to continue his studies.

For Fes el Bali’s 150,000 current residents, life is not much different than it was hundreds of years ago, although electricity makes some tasks easier. Merchants in small shops still sell everything from fresh camel and goat meat on hooks to fruit and fish stacked high on tables

Fes el Bali: Travel to a golden ageTannery in Fes el Bali, Morocco (Photo by Don Knebel)

to pottery and clothing made by hand. Two hun-dred mosques still call residents to prayer. One popular shop sells rugs woven by Berbers in the nearby mountains and another sells high-end antiques in a 14th century mansion.

Tanneries producing leather using processes unchanged since the twelfth century have be-come symbols of Fes el Bali. Employees hand visitors mint sprigs to hold under their noses as they observe huge vats where hides, gathered daily from local slaughter houses, are tanned and colored. The mint can’t overcome the stench of the tanning agent, made from pigeon droppings and said to be the secret to the suppleness of the brightly colored leather goods sold in tannery shops.

Major construction projects are changing the face of Morocco. Fes el Bali, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, is protected against the rush of the twenty first century and provides the clos-est approximation we have to a time machine to Morocco’s golden age.

New landscape “triple threat” energizes lifestyles

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Imagine the ideal landscape designed especially for you – packed with vibrant colors, seasonal interest and incredibly simple

to maintain.Ever heard of the “Triple Threat?” It refers to

a basketball player’s stance that allows them to immediately pass, dribble or shoot. We’ve developed a landscape “Triple Threat” that brings color, seasonal interest and low mainte-nance together.

COLORGreen is the foundation of the landscape palette but the real

personality is generated from the remaining color wheel. Massing flowering shrubs (fothergilla, potentilla, hydrangea, sweetspire) elevates drama with perennial strokes of spring flowering electric pink phlox or full sun yellow moonbeam coreopsis. A well-placed ornamental tree serves to anchor a corner with my favorites being the Serviceberry, Dogwood or Redbud and occasional Crabapple. Fall color explodes from the aforementioned shrubs and trees, too, with competing yellows, oranges and reds all merging together. It’s imperative to employ plants with multiple attributes: spring flowers, summer berry, fall color and winter interest.

SEASONAL INTERESTThere are required strategies to create seasonal interest

beyond flowering beauties. Dramatic bed shapes are a huge con-tributor to winter interest as unique shapes emerge from the frost

and light snow cover. Toasty ornamental grass fronds are strong performers as are simple boulder outcroppings, an occasional el-egant teak bench and the general bones of the outdoor space.

LOW MAINTENANCESure, we all love playing in the dirt but frankly most of our

schedules or aching knees don’t correlate with that pas-sion. Planting the right plant in the right place is the key to low maintenance. Plants that require minimal pruning – that

thrive (not just survive) in difficult conditions and don’t drink a lot – are other primary low maintenance living components.

Welcome to the new landscape “Triple Threat” for energized life-styles that encourage luxurious outdoor living, grilling, entertaining and family dreams.

A stone wall and steps on a driveway provide the “triple threat” elements to improve land-scaping. (Submitted photo)

Commentary by David Decker

Eco-friendly and full of natural health benefits, cork flooring is experienc-ing a growth in popularity among homeowners. And it’s easy to see why.

Let’s take a closer look at cork flooring and the basic facts that you should know before installing it in your home.

Cork is a renewable resource made from tree bark that’s a greener alternative to traditional hardwood flooring materials. By definition, “renewable resource” refers to a material that can be harvested without impacting the environment. When cork is harvested, only the bark of the tree is removed, which means the tree can continue to grow after the product is removed. The bark is replenished every nine years, at which point it can be harvested once again. This is great news for any home-owner looking to cut down on their environmental footprint and install a greener hard surface flooring option.

Many of the benefits from cork flooring stem from its natural-occurring physical properties. Cork is quite durable and resilient, which means when it’s used for flooring, it will hold up well against foot traffic. The material retains heat, so it will feel warmer under your feet than other hard surface options. Its cushioned texture makes it an excellent flooring option for people who suffer from joint conditions or those with young children. Addi-tionally, it can help absorb sound waves, which makes it a good choice for rooms where acoustics could become an issue. And as any wine aficionado knows, cork is naturally resistant to mold. This makes it one of the more hypoallergenic flooring options available: great news for allergy sufferers.

On the flip side, cork flooring can be a little pricey. While a little more comfortable to walk on, cork’s spongy texture does not hold up well under the weight of heavy furniture. You’ll also have to be careful with sharp objects, as cork can get scratched or cut fairly easily. This means that pet nails, high heels and other sharp objects could scratch the surface of your flooring as with any other type of hardwood.

To ensure that your cork flooring has a long lifespan, you’ll want to

proactively protect it from scratches or dents. Safeguard the flooring and install soft pads or coasters underneath your heaviest furniture.

Before installing cork, carefully weigh all of the pros and cons and ana-lyze the characteristics of the room first. If placed in a suitable room, cork flooring can be a comfortable and savvy design choice.
