Fifteen Westfield Washington Schools’ students were recognized for their ability to overcome ob-stacles and become successful in their work and
studies during the Westfield Youth Recognition Breakfast on April 24 at the Bridgewater Club.
The obstacles facing these students varied from those who turned their life around, those fighting an illness to those who lost one or both parents.
“Very little recognition is given to these kids,” Cook said. “These are our special people that have over-come things I can’t comprehend. We recognize these kids for what they’ve done on their own.”
“Our kids do so much, and I’m grateful for the op-portunity to recognize them for who they are,” Stacy McGuire, Westfield High School principal, said.
WHS’ Brandy Badillo has leukemia and undergoes weekly chemotherapy treatments but comes to school each day with a smile.
“I just try to stay positive and think positive. I’m just happy to be alive,” she said. “People ask me about it. It is hard. I try hard to just get over it and feel better.”
Fellow high school student Crystal Beach said she used to get in big trouble, which made her realize where she was headed in life. Beach was recognized for turning her life and her attitude around.
“It’s a huge honor, I really appreciate it,” she said.Beach learned about her nomination from her
father, Daniel, who showed her the letter English teacher Sarah Kjeldsen wrote. In it, Kjeldsen said Beach “has taken advantage of the opportunities to grow, to learn and has become a strong, well-grounded young woman.”
“I was having a bad day,” she said. “When I’m up-set, I look back at it and smile.”
The celebration breakfast is part of the Westfield Youth Assistance Program, which strives to build a healthy community for tomorrow by extending a helping hand to the youth of today through family assistance, tutoring and mentoring. These programs are available to qualified children needing assistance. Westfield piloted the program, which is expanding to Noblesville and possibly Fishers in addition to other areas in the state.
“It’s a very exciting program that has taken off like wildfire,” Hamilton County Judge Paul Felix said. “Hopefully, we’ll move it around the state because of its value to the children, family and community.”
Felix said young adults aged 18 to 25 accounted for 32 percent of all felonies filed in 2011. If you re-moved Class D, the lowest felony charge, that num-ber increases to 39 percent.
“It’s so important to get to our children and fami-lies before they come into the judicial system,” he said.

Jennifer Phillips, a preschool special education teacher at Carey Ridge Elementary, was recently
honored as an ExtraordinAIRy Treasure.
She was nominated by a col-league, Westfield High School English teacher Alexandria Gable.
“Jennifer Phillips is an extraordinary teacher at Carey Ridge Elementary School. She impacts, influences, teaches and loves preschoolers with a variety of special needs,” Gable wrote in her nomination.
Gable further stated that Phillips is creative and resourceful in meeting the needs of her stu-dents, whom she loves like her own.
“Mrs. Phillips is a talented and caring pre-
school special education teacher… Her work with children with special needs has been out-standing,” Carey Ridge Principal Susan Hobson said. “Mrs. Phillips had a student with a very rare syndrome and in order to get him in school mode, Mrs. Phillips spent time with him during the summer in her classroom acclimating him to school. This intervention resulted in the child being able to function as a part of the class when the school year began.”
Williams Comfort Air presented Phillips a $500 cash award and a matching $500 contribution to Carey Ridge Elementary.
This year, six teachers were selected from 87 nominations. Two of the six teachers are West-field Washington Schools educators. The second teacher has not been revealed and will receive the award later.

Promising Futures of Central Indiana, a not-for-profit that helps families and youth in
Hamilton County, announced the clos-ing of its
Pregnant and Parenting Teens program earlier this month.
While that one program itself closed, Promising Futures continues to operate eight other programs, including anger management classes, counseling, parent-ing classes and outreach concerning the Indiana Lifeline Law.
A total of 28 mothers and children were using the program. Pregnant and Parenting Teens pro-vided a group home for girls under the age of 19, apartments for women under the age of 22 and community-based services, such as guidance and case management, according to Stephanie Lyons, executive director of Promising Futures.
Lyons said the program gave mothers a safe environment, and with the group home and apartments closed, their options are not ideal, with “couch surfing” from friend to friend or family-member to family-member a reality.
Pregnant-teen program nixed
SOCIAl SErvICES
“The community is just losing out on the sup-portive services of getting these girls and the fathers and the babies really started off on a good solid foundation in order to grow from, so it’s really difficult (to deal with),” Lyons said.
Funding for the program ran out on Feb. 28. Lyons said the program was funded by a five-year federal grant. Promising Fu-tures applied for another $1 million, five-year grant last year that would have taken effect at the beginning of March.
No funding announcements were being made earlier in the year so Prom-ising Futures started asking questions and working with Rep. Susan Brooks
and Sen. Joe Donnelly’s offices. Funding announcements were delayed be-
cause of sequestration. Lyons said the Admin-istration for Children and Families, a source of funding, may not even make any budget cuts.
Lyons said they kept the program open during March – which costs $23,000 to $28,000 per month to run – to see if an announcement would come.
She said if funding became available, the pro-gram, with some changes, would return.

Thirty-two volunteers helped beautify West-field’s MacGregor Park on April 20. Washington
Township Deputy Trustee Becky McCanna said the park’s third annual spring clean-up day was
very successful.“We had 32 volunteers who planted 31 trees,
cleared a dam, removed about 25 large honey-suckle, mulched the rain garden and collected six bags of garlic mustard. Last year we collected 90, so this year’s crop was much reduced and that is very good,” she said. “Everyone worked
hard and accomplished so much for the benefit of the park.”
Washington Township recently purchased 40 additional acres from the MacGregor fam-ily to expand the park. Construction is being done around the front entrance to create more parking, picnic shelters, a one-mile trail and an outdoor learning center. Another 250 trees were planted in that area last week.
“Things will change a lot over the next four months,” McCanna said.
MacGregor Park is nestled at the intersection of U.S. 31 and Ind. 38.

Photos and answers were taken by Current in Westfield intern Anna Skinner, a senior at Westfield High School.
Grade/Subject at what school: Kindergarten at Maple Glen Elementary
Number of years teach-ing: Five
Background/Schooling: Bishop Chatard High School, India-napolis; Bachelor of Science, Ball State University; and Transition to Teach-ing Elementary Education K-6, Taylor University.
Why did you become a teacher? My story is a little untraditional given that teaching is my second career. When my youngest daughter started Montessori preschool, I was offered a part-time position as the school’s science teacher. I fell in love with the kids, their insatiable desire to learn, and the excitement I felt at the start of each day. I knew from then on teaching was my true calling.
What goals do you have for your stu-
dents? Simple, love school and love to learn. I ask my students at the end of each day, ‘How many of you had fun once today? Twice today? Three times today? All day?’ When the answer is consistently “all day” I know we are well on our
way.What do you encourage parents
to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Read, read and read! Read to your child, let them read to you and let them see you read.
What is your favorite movie? “Tal-ladega Nights”
Who is your favorite musician or band? Music is huge in my family and our style is in-credibly eclectic ranging from alternative, punk and southern rock all the way to the Rat Pack.
What’s something your students might not know about you? I was an analytical chemist before I starting teaching.

LCS is ‘Walking for Dreams’ – Supporters of Legacy Christian School in Noblesville are lacing up their walking shoes and getting ready to head to downtown Indianapolis. Legacy is one of a select number of nonprofit organizations that will participate in the “Walking for Dreams” event held each year at the canal in Indy.

People can participate by either getting sponsors and walking with the school, by sponsor-ing one of their walkers or by donating directly to Legacy Christian School.

Assistance League raises $94k – On April 13, the As-sistance League of Indianapolis held a fundraising gala at the Ritz Charles. Guests were treated to an Italian-themed evening of bidding on items at the silent auction, dining and a presentation by emcee Beth Vaughan, morning anchor from RTV6 Good Morn-ing Indiana. AAA Hoosier Motor Club was recognized by president Marcia Hoffbauer as a long standing in-kind and financial supporter of Assistance League of Indianapolis. Guests also entered into some friendly competition during a live auction while bidding on items including an apartment in the South of France, Colts suite tickets and dinner for eight by Chef Tony Hanslits. All of this generosity translated into raising about $94,000 to provide services for the socially and economically underserved in central Indiana.

161st Street closure from Oakridge Road to Union StreetAs of April 15, crews closed 161st Street at U.S. 31 to begin construction of a new roundabout interchange. During this approximately 120-day closure, 161st Street will remain closed from Oakridge Road to Union Street. The official signed de-tour route will direct motorists north to 169th Street. Access to/from 161st Street at U.S. 31 is expected to reopen by late summer. Left turns prohibited between 151st and 169th streets Motorists are no longer able to turn left from U.S. 31 between 151st and 169th streets. However, left turns are permitted at 151st and 169th streets. The left turns are permanently elimi-nated as part of the new freeway design.

Work continues on U.S. 31 as more closures/detours affect motoristsBy Robert Herrington • [email protected]
As work continues on the main corridor into Westfield, familiar routes are becoming populated with orange barrels, decreased
speed limits and even some road closures.“To eliminate stoplights is what this is all
about,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said.This year’s construction is focused from 146th
Street north to 169th Street. Cook said the 2013 phases of construction
bids are “below engineer estimates.” The third and final phase of this year’s project will be bid in August. This year’s plans call for an overpass at 161st Street and interchanges at 151st and 161st streets.
“They’ve be tearing down homes all winter,” he said.
Construction has closed 161st Street from Oakridge Road to Union Street and left turns have been eliminated from 151st to 169th streets. Cook said there are no more cross traffic or left turns.
“It’s disrupting both sides of 151st street,” he said. “All four lanes of traffic have been moved to the northbound side. The traffic is now on the east side and will remain like that until next year when the traffic shifts over to the west side.”
Cook said two bridges are planned for 156th Street so motorists
can go west instead of using Greyhound Pass. Additional plans call for a tunnel under 161st Street for the Monon Railroad, bridges at Union and 156th streets and a roundabout at 161st Street.
2013 is the third year of a five-year plan to reconstruct U.S. 31. Previous work has included Ind. 38, 146th Street and local route improvements. Construction scheduled for 2014 includes 191st Street, 181st Street and Oakbrook Parkway, Ind. 32, 169th Street and preparations at 136th, 131st, 116th and 106th streets. 2015 will include work on 136th, 131st, 116th and 106th streets, completion of Ind. 32 and preparations at I-465. Work on I-465 begins in 2016.
“There have been no major problems since we began,” Cook said.
While the main focus of construction will occur on U.S. 31, INDOT will be preparing for future work this summer. Cook said demoli-tion will happen at 191st Street and Ind. 32 as INDOT builds side streets and connectors for 191st and 196th streets.
“Lots of offline (side) roads have to happen,” he said. “There’s an all new Wheeler Road under construction as we speak.”
Cook said the U.S. 31-Ind. 32 interchange construction will occur next year, and the major moves construction will be finished in Westfield in mid-2015.
To ensure public safety, INDOT officials have weekly meetings with the Westfield police and fire chiefs to discuss construction updates, emergency access points and future closings.
“We’ve seen some minor issues, but we’re always trying to anticipate any future concerns,” Fire Chief Jason Lemons said.
Cpt. Charles Hollowell agreed that the police department has had no major issues with construc-tion on U.S. 31 and has not seen an increase in crashes or traffic violations. Hollowell said most of the crashes on U.S. 31 are caused by the stop and go traffic pattern.
“It does tend to cause some rear enders or from people changing lanes and not realizing the lights,” he said.
Motorists should also note the temporary speed limit change to 40 miles per hour.
“This area is rigidly enforced by Indiana State Po-
Cook
lice and the Westfield Police Dept.,” Cook said.To avoid construction, motorists use side streets, but are obey-
ing posted traffic signs.“People are pretty resourceful in finding alternative routes. We
haven’t had an increase of traffic complaints or calls from the pub-lic,” Hollowell said. “Stop signs slow down traffic and helps reduce the speed of traffic.”
When construction is completed, Hollowell said the new road-ways will provide easier and faster driving for motorists and public safety personnel.
“If traffic is constantly moving, it’s going to reduce response times,” he said. “Stop and go does slow down traffic and response times. If it takes longer for the traveling public than it’s going to take us longer.”
U.S. 31 construction has not been a topic of controversy from residents or the business community.
“I absolutely avoid (U.S.) 31. It takes me longer to get to work and school because I go the back roads. I think the results will make everything really confusing, and I don’t think it’s necessary,” West-field’s Cydnee Allen said.
“The ends justify the means, and it will be highly efficient in the future but now it is not,” Chris Vincent said.
How will local roads intersect the new U.S. 31 freeway?
•Roads or structures expected to cross above U.S. 31: I-465, 111th Street, 126th Street, 131st Street, Keystone Parkway, 146th Street and 161st Street.
•Roads or structures expected to cross below U.S. 31: 106th Street, 116th Street, 136th Street, Monon Trail, Range Line Road, Union Street, 151st Street, 156th Street, 169th Street, Ind. 32, 181st Street, 191st Street and Ind. 38.
•Cul-de-sacs: 103rd Street, Greyhound Court, Park Street, Blackburn Avenue, 196th Street, 202nd Street and 203rd Street.

counter, with our families. During the course of the many petty irritations and follies that seem to fill our daily routines, it is striking to consider that there are innumerable other lives filled each with its own peccadilloes and interests. How do people perceive us? Do they even notice that we exist? Is our imagined slight an entirely unintended consequence? Or, are the nefarious perpetrating their own agendas against us?
Can we find comfort in the knowledge that no one can fully understand our point-of-view or invite us into theirs? Or, is this solitary personal isolation frightening? Maybe it’s a matter of per-spective. Regardless, learning to get out of our own heads and imagine the view from across the table can only make us better for it.

It is our position that immediate action should be taken if a child is suspected of be-ing abused or neglected. Today ends National Child Abuse Prevention Month, though the community should remain under constant vigil. In just a year, 40 Hoosier children died from abuse and neglect, according to a recent re-port by the state Dept. of Child Services.
The report indicated that unemployment, low income, substance abuse and domestic violence are factors in many child-abuse deaths. The report also found a pattern of child deaths at the hands of parents’ intimate partners, which is a trend that has continued year to year. DCS says it is asking parents to think carefully about with whom they leave their children.
“When you have a child, and particularly a small child, left in the care of someone with no emotional bond with the child, with low to no parenting skills, and managing multiple stress-ors, tragedy can happen in an instant,” said John Ryan, DCS chief of staff.
The department is asking that everyone do their part to help protect kids. Pay attention and reach out if you need help or know some-one who might.
To report abuse, call the Indiana state hot-line at 800-800-5556. Parents, if you need help, call 1-800-CHILDREN.

Commentary by Terry Anker
In conversation today with a local business-man who is preparing to celebrate his 47th wedding anniversary, our attention turned to his advice in maintaining long-term relationships. As he smiled, he said it was by making the right choice at the beginning. In his firmly Hoosier self-deprecating way, he went on to credit much of the success of their longevity to his bride. “What a good guy,” I thought. But as my sympathetic interrogatory continued, his detailed answers pointed to something else. Certainly, he had en-tered a relationship with someone who is com-mitted to relationships. Such a move is always a good thing. But more, he carried into the relation-ship a strong understanding of the importance of perspective in human interaction.
Even as we peer down from our vantage point, it is easy to forget that there are count-less other outlooks from which to gaze. Imagine the scores of interpersonal interactions that take place every day – at the office, at the coffee

There has been a slew of reports in na-tional media – print, electronic and social – in recent days about the politicization of budget cuts coming out of Washington. One in par-ticular caught our attention, and that dealt with flight delays (departures and arrivals, naturally) as a result of the furloughing of air traffic controllers.
It should be noted that while travelers were cooling their heels - and presumably trying to stifle their rising tempers on long layovers in overcrowded departure lounges - at many major airports, the U.S. Dept. of Transportation announced a $474-million grant program that promises to “make com-munities more livable and sustainable.”
That’s. Just. Dandy. We can cut highly trained and supervised
staff, whose responsibility it is to keep the friendly skies all the more friendly, and foist upon the remaining personnel and supervi-sors an increased burden of undertaking even a larger part of one of the most stress-ful jobs known to man. But, hey, when there’s a chance to dump hundreds of millions of dollars into “sustainability,” well, that seems to be a no-brainer - for the brainless in Washington.
It seriously continues to amaze us that not too many have vigorously spoken out about the furloughs. Think of it this way: Would you want yourself or your loved one strapped into a jetliner traveling at 400-plus miles per hour under the “watchful” eyes of an overstressed, exhausted ATC employee? We know the answer, but we had to ask. To us, it’s really frightening. Until the staffing levels have been brought back to realistic levels – sorry, airlines – we’re not going to travel by air; it’s all road trips until then.
By the way, did anyone on Capitol Hill or in the White House administration even suggest cutting President Barack Obama’s golf fees from the budget? Didn’t think so.
Suddenly, the skiesare not too friendly

Editor,I was at the Carmel/Westfield Marsh store on
Sunday, and I requested $50 back on my debit card. It had been a long day, and I forgot to take the money. I called
Marsh about 10 minutes later and spoke to a very accommodating manager. He watched the video and a person who came in after me took the money, knowing that it belonged to someone else who would come looking for it.
I have called the police and, with the help of
the picture, this person will be caught. To pre-vent this person from being embarrassed and getting into trouble, I am hoping that the money will be left at the customer service counter in an envelope with my name on it. No questions asked, and I will truly appreciate the honesty.
It is extremely upsetting, but, as I have a very forgiving nature, I will chalk this up to someone who was having a bad day and decided to make it better at the expense of someone else. I am hop-ing that this person did not think this through.

Editor,Recently, I received yet another request from
the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors for my support of mass transit. MIBOR has never reached out to
ask my opinion of mass transit, just instructed me to follow the company line.
I will not support mass transit, or support rais-ing taxes for mass transit. I have the privilege of living in Hamilton County, where the schools have had a very positive effect on our property values. Proof enough for me to believe in the power of good schools.
Good schools help increase property values and decrease crime rates. For that reason, I’m
struggling to understand why MIBOR is so bent on supporting mass transit. It will absolutely raise property taxes, won’t improve schools, increase property values or reduce crime, all the things a Realtor should be concerned about.
Improving the IPS Schools would have a di-rect impact on the value of homes and the lives of the families we serve. Indianapolis Schools rank 287 out of 313 school districts in Indiana. Why doesn’t MIBOR take up the cause of better schools?
According to MIBOR statistics, 25 percent of buyers ranked the quality of a school district as most important while only 6 percent ranked the convenience of public transportation as important.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Recently I’ve noticed a strange occurrence. My stomach will begin to hurt after I’ve been sitting
for any length of time. At first, I thought it was too-tight jeans, but then I realized the pain would
arrive with any number of pants or skirts that fastened at the waist. Conclusion: my clothes are shrinking!
I suppose there is another explanation for this disturbing phenomenon: I might possibly, perhaps, be gaining an ever-so-slight bit of weight; which would make sense because I basically stopped all forms of exercising after I survived the mini-mar-athon last May. True, I do attend weekly geriatric yoga and occasionally walk the dog around our basketball goal, but for my body type, the lack of aerobic activity is finally starting to show.
And what really ticks me off is that the pounds aren’t going where I need them most. My face and chest could actually stand to be a little plumper, while my thighs and behind are already plenty large. But nooooo, become a couch po-tato and the new fat immediately heads for his friends.
The only solution (besides giving up my nightly cherry pop tart and glass of milk, and that ain’t gonna happen) is to start an exercise program, but I’m seriously lacking the motivation. I already ran the marathon and took on P90X. And my clothes do still fit, albeit a little more snuggly.
I hate it, but I have to

Plus, I have to consider two significant physical defects: my crappy knees and reduced bladder control. No jumping jacks for this girl!
Swimming is a great option, but laps in a pool are so high maintenance. Drying and de-frizzing my ginger hair alone can take a full 30 minutes! Who’s got the time for that? Speaking of time, a serious “lack thereof” is another one of my excus-es. For me, working out has to occur in the morn-ing, because once evening hits, my life revolves around kids and husband and wine. But I hate waking up early, especially to [gulp] exercise.
Regardless, I must think of something. I’ve always been in good shape and like knowing that when the Zombie Apocalypse comes, I’ll be able to run for the hills (or cornfields). Right now, I’d barely reach the nearest round about before collapsing in a pile of stretch marks and hyper-ventilation. I suppose I could start with some hard-core walking; maybe throw in some light dumbbells to tighten the ol’ triceps. It’s not glam-orous, but if it’ll help me outrun a dead person and keep clothing from cutting off my circulation, I’m in. Power walking, here I come! Peace out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
I have never aerated my lawn. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever written the word “aerated” before.
If I did, I am sure I misspelled it. I think I accidentally went from liquefy to aerate while making a
strawberry shake in our blender. That’s the ex-tent of my experience.
Despite many years as a homeowner, I first learned about lawn aeration the other day when my wife and I arrived home from a Sunday brunch and saw our neighbor, John, wrestling with what appeared to be a 200-horsepower lawn machine. The really strange part was that John was not aerating his own lawn, but rather Herb’s lawn– an apparent act of great selfless-ness, unless you saw he had simply lost control of the behemoth and was desperately trying to steer the machine back to his own front yard. Then Marty, watching John from his living room window, came outside to request that he be given a chance to aerate. Herb also wanted in. This scam was so ingenious that it made Tom Sawyer look like an amateur.
John tried to explain to me why it’s important to aerate a lawn, but most of the explanation required that I actually listen. He did say some-thing about golf greens that got my attention. And I kept hearing the word “plugs,” which made me mildly interested because I once had a hair
Backyard checks requiredtransplant.
I watched Herb try to aerate. Herb, who can only claim 5-foot-8-inches in his wife’s high heels, was being whipped into unspeakable con-tortions and had to push the emergency button after he aerated Marty’s newly paved driveway. I’m opposed to deadly asphalt weapons, but John told me that the Second Amendment covers le-thal lawn equipment, as well.
After observing my neighbors gleefully in-volved in raising their testosterone levels, I agreed to try aeration myself. I declined doing my own lawn, having arranged several years ago for nine moles to do the job for me. I took hold of the handles, pressed the bar and was quickly propelled into action.
I had never realized how exciting it would be to poke holes in a neighbor’s lawn. It was fun, but four seconds was long enough. John could see I was uncomfortable with an aerator in the neighborhood, but he put my mind at ease. “Aera-tors don’t poke holes in lawns. People poke holes in lawns,” he told me. That made in feel a little better. But I still think there should be backyard checks on people who want to own aerators.

The Town of Zionsville is ready to ring in spring with its first Village Flower and Herb Market Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Local vendors will be on hand selling fresh-cut flowers and bouquets, and participating downtown stores, restaurants and galleries will offer spring-themed spe-cials and activities.
“We wanted to pick a time when people are gardening, starting to get ready for sum-mer, or simply looking for a Mother’s Day gift,” said Sandy Rogers, Zionsville Downtown Committee ambassador and event planner.
More than 40 businesses will be participat-ing, including flower and herb vendors, and there also will be performances by local musi-cians throughout the day, garden parties and local artists painting and featuring their work.
Rogers said many of the downtown busi-nesses found creative ways to incorporate the garden theme into their offerings. Greek’s Pizzeria will have pre-potted pizza herbs for sale and Serenity Tea Room will be selling plants for teas and strawberry plants. In ad-dition, Roger’s Main Street business, Butler’s Pantry, will be giving away culinary herb seeds with every purchase, along with a list of which foods each herb pairs best with.
The flower and herb market is free and child-friendly. Rogers said downtown children’s stores Ballerinas and Bruisers will have a clay pot making activity and Earth Explorer Toys will have a science fair early in the morning and a fairy gardening activity for kids in the afternoon.
Palmer Kelley Designs, a Carmel-based floral arrangement design
company, is participating as a vendor at the event. Owner Tim Kelley said they’ll be providing European-style bouquets and fresh cut flowers for sale outside the downtown stores in an open-market type environment.
“It’s nice to have a presence in an outdoor market right in the middle of everything, get the word out about our business and show people what we do,” Kelley said.
Mike Cline of Perkins Landscaping will give gardening demonstrations throughout the day, including demonstrations on planting window boxes and hanging baskets at 11 a.m., container and pot gardens at 1 p.m., design-ing a French garden at 2 p.m. and planting an herbal container garden at 3 p.m.
The flower and herb market is the first event of the Zionsville Downtown Committee, which formed in early January to help pro-mote the historic downtown area. The Village Flower and Herb Market planning committee is made of downtown business owners Les-ley Jane of Lesley Jane Boutique, Liz Ezra of Cobblestone Grill, Regina Owens of Jewel Box Jewelers, Sandy Rogers of Butler’s Pantry and Dusky Loebel, associate director of the Zions-ville Chamber of Commerce.
While this is the committee’s first event, it certainly won’t be its last. Rogers said that an end-of-summer Spanish tapas-themed
event is in the works for the downtown area in July, and Zionsville residents can expect more themed large and small downtown events throughout the year.
“We’ve had a great response from businesses and people are very ex-cited about the event,” Rogers said.

Summer vacation can include a lot more than watching TV and playing video games. The sum-
mer day camps offered by Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre provide a fun-filled way for children to contin-
ue their education while learning important com-munication and personal development skills.
Civic’s summer day camp for children be-tween four and six years old is called Fairy Tale Players. It teaches pre-school and kindergarten kids not only how to use their imagination to create and tell their own sto-ries, but also how to improve their listening skills by appreciating the stories told by their camper friends.
The classes last two and one-half hours each day, Monday through Thursday, and enrollment is limited to 10 students per session. Every morning class ends
with classmates enjoying a sack lunch together on the Center for the Performing Arts green.
Older students from age 7 to 14 are invited to enroll in Jr. Civic Theatre’s Musical Theatre Camp. This high energy, Monday through Friday, all-day experience includes instruction in acting, singing and dancing and ends with a Friday evening per-formance the whole family is sure to enjoy.
“Both camps provide an opportunity for self-discovery,” said Brent Marty, Jr. Civic director of education. “They are designed to increase the capacity of campers to
think as an individual, to become better listeners, to develop creative skills, to understand the value of collaboration, to become more confident, and to find their own voice. What better way for a child to spend a summer?”
For more information about both camps, includ-ing specific dates, cost and availability, call 853-6317 or visit www.civictheatre.org.

GRILLED VEGETABLE SALADserves 4-6
You may skewer the veggies or place directly on grill.Ingredients: 1 cup gorgonzola cheese, 1 yel-low and 1 red pepper - sides cut and halved, 6 quartered Yukon gold potatoes, 1 sweet potato in large cubes, 1 leek quartered lengthwise, 1 bunch asparagus trimmed, 1 yellow squash cubedMarinade/dressing: 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon fresh diced tarragon, 1 tablespoon diced sage, 1 tablespoons diced rosemary, Salt and pepperDirections: Marinate vegetables for about 15 minutes in half of the mixture. Shake off excess dressing and grill until slightly charred – about 15 minutes. Place in large bowl and toss with remaining dressing and gorgonzola cheese. Serve immediately.
GRILLED PEACHES WITH HONEy CHEVREserves 8
Ingredients: 4 fresh peaches halved and pitted, 6 ounces chevre, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla (you may also use brandy), 1 cup toasted almondsDirections: Combine chevre, milk and honey in a bowl - do not over stir. Grill peaches cut side down about 6 to 8 minutes or until they start to get grill marks and caramelize. Remove from grill, fill each peach half with about I tablespoons of the cheese mixture and top with almonds. Serve warm
Cooking tip: Close the lid on your grill when you are finished - it will make the clean up easier. Also, place any peppers you have on the grill and allow them to stay there as the grill cools for 1 ½ to 2 hours. They will be perfectly roasted and ready for the next meal.
Commentary by Claudia Pierson
When we think of grill-ing, we immediately think of meats and fish it seems. Yet, there is a whole world of wonderful grill options for the other parts of the meal. Hope you will enjoy these unique recipes.
Vegetables can be the stars

All the snow has melted and the sun is trying to show it’s lovely rays. But, all you can think is; “Why didn’t I start working out in January?” Don’t
let the fear of the coming warm seasons have you retreating into a moo moo just yet. Don’t give up
before you even start, there is still time! I know how to help you see results soon.
I am referring to interval training. Interval training is an excellent way to burn more calo-ries, build endurance quickly and add interest to your workouts. Interval training involves alternat-ing high-intensity exercise with recovery periods. There are a variety of ways to set up interval workouts. One option is timed periods of work followed by timed periods of rest. An example would be one minute of high-intensity work (such as a sprint), followed by two minutes of low-intensity exercise (walking) and alternating that several times for 15 to 30 minutes.
Another option is instead of using time for measurement, use objects. You might power walk or run to the stop sign and recover walk or jog to the mailbox.
Interval training can be done with just about
Still time for bathing-suit seasonany exercise, not just running. If you are exercis-ing on an Elliptical machine, raise the level of intensity for a short amount of time and then lower the intensity until you “recover” and repeat this process.
Your recovery time should only be a few minutes. You should be able to breathe easily, however; if it takes you 10 minutes to speak, dial back the intensity.
You are in charge of the intervals and how hard you push. This method of training is more effective at inducing fat loss than simply train-ing at a moderate intensity level for the same duration. This is due to the metabolism boosting effects of high-intensity intervals. The idea is to work harder than usual in your “work” sets and to fully recover during the low intensity intervals.
Interval training is a great way to increase re-sults and burn more calories. So, don’t throw in the beach towel just yet. Give interval training a try and not only be ready for summer but look forward to it!

I’m a terrible flyer and it seems to get worse every year, every flight. I clinch the seat in front
of me and brace myself with the seatbelt as tight as I can pull it. When the plane touches the
ground, I feel a sweet release and my entire body uncoils. Every flight is the same. As soon as the wheels leave the ground, any calmness turns to clamminess.
I have a strategy for flying, really for all emo-tions, that often works. The underlying concept is you are emotional when you aren’t being ra-tional, so you have to be more rational. Emotions don’t involve thinking; they are feelings. When you think, you can generally dismantle feelings. When I get mad, I ask myself tough questions that make me think. When I’m sad, I pose hard questions to find the source. As I move from only feeling to thinking, I find greater calmness in my rational thoughts.
That’s my strategy for flying: get thinking and curb the emotions. I disrupt a three-seat radius
People are nicer in personuntil I find thoughtful conversation.
I met a fellow on a recent flight. He runs a website for a news group. We started talking about how some people comment on news ar-ticles with crushing force, being mean and tak-ing shots. It’s not everyone of course, but there are a lot of people that do. Is it the anonymity that drives it or is there really a bunch of mean people out there that mask it when you meet them in person?
We settled on this; people are nicer to one an-other in person. There’s increased accountability and, after all, it’s harder to dislike people when you are face to face with them. It’s an easy thing to forget in business too, things go better when you meet with people face to face. I guess it’s all full circle as that’s what put me on the plane to begin with.

Teen summer program – The Entrepreneurship Advancement Center is launching a new summer program for high school students called the Teen ‘Trep challenge. Working with a team, teens will meet weekly to identify a problem and develop a business model for a product/service to solve the problem. The challenge will culminate with team presentations to determine the top Teen ‘Trep Challenge team. Prizes will be awarded to the winning team. “This program encourages teens to think with an entrepreneurial mindset and provides foundational knowledge to assess a business idea. We want students to approach their world with that kind of thinking whether they start their own business or work within an organization,” said Cathy Langlois, executive director of the EAC. The Challenge will start in May and students will meet weekly through July. Students can register now at http://wp.me/pJmhM-Yr. There is no fee to participate and registrations are limited to the first 25 students. For more information, contact EAC at 489-0854.

Westfield Washington Schools’ Shamrock Springs Elementary and Washington Woods El-
ementary successfully crossed the finish line in the Environmen-tal Protection Agency’s
2012 ENERGY STAR National Building Competition: Battle of the Buildings.
Shamrock Springs Elementary was recognized fourth overall among all 3,000 competitors nationally for its 42.1-percent energy use reduction.
Washington Woods Elementary, with a 21.1-percent reduction, was recognized for achieving an energy use reduction of 20 per-cent or greater.
Westfield High School was 0.1 percent away from recognition with 19.9 percent, followed by Carey Ridge Elementary with 18.4 percent.
“Being recognized by the EPA for our focus on reducing energy costs and lessening the environ-
mental footprint of the district’s 12 buildings is rewarding,” said Nick Verhoff, executive director of business and operations. “Our staff’s commit-ment has resulted in WWS saving over $800,000 that has been diverted to better serve students in the classroom. The entire staff deserves to be
recognized for their efforts to improve the energy efficiency of our buildings across the district.”
Shamrock Springs and Washington Woods were the only Indiana schools recognized. The winner of the competi-tion was Demarest Elementary School in Bloomfield, N.J., which reduced its energy use by more than 52 percent.
In its third year, the competition featured teams from across the country racing to improve energy efficiency, lower utility costs and protect health and the environment. Together, competi-tors cut their energy costs by more than $50 million.

Question: “What are your thoughts about use of the (nonexistent) word ‘preventional’ on page 1
of Current in Carmel last week? It’s not in Web-ster’s app, at least not
for iPhone.” (Becky Rainsberger, Carmel)Answer: Well Becky, to be honest I hadn’t had
any thoughts about “preventional” prior to your question. Obviously, the word we’d expect there is “preventative,” or even “preventive.” I did find an entry for “preventional” in a 1913 edition of a dictionary … but since I found no others, we’ll just call it non-standard at best.
Since I’m prone to tangents, your question got me interested in the reasoning behind why certain words receive certain suffixes as they transform from verbs to nouns or nouns to adjectives/ad-verbs. After all, while “prevention” gains an “-ative” or “-ive,” “convention” becomes “conventional,” while “attention” follows the former pattern and becomes “attentive.” It’s really more a question of etymology than grammar, but it’s my column, so you’re following me down the rabbit hole.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a consistent rule for selecting a suffix. Instead, I dug into the meanings of each suffix to attempt to extract a reasoning behind the apparent disparity above. When used with an adjective/adverb, as is the case above, the suffix “-al” signifies relation. For example, a tuba is a “music-al” instrument. The
suffix “-ative” or “-ive” signifies that an object has the nature or quality of whatever the root word is. For example, glue is an “adhes-ive” – by its very nature it exhibits the quality of adhesion (i.e., it binds surfaces together and resists separation).
While these two suffixes seem similar at first, we can observe why they are different. A tuba isn’t “musica-tive” for two reasons: First, “musica-tive” isn’t a word. Second, a tuba is not, by its nature, composed of music. It is composed of brass. You could say that an opera is “musicative” (if it were a word, that is) because an opera is, by its nature, music. An opera cannot be not musical; its nature would be fundamentally different.
The same logic applies to “preventative.” Brush-ing your teeth is a preventative step to avoid cavities; the action is, by its nature, a hindrance or impediment to tooth decay (i.e., “prevention”).
The list of English suffixes is enormous, and I don’t have the time or space to examine them all (although I did find out that “numisma” means “coin,” as in “numismatics:” the study or collec-tion of currency). I encourage you to do a little studying on your own time, though (right after you clean out the garage and finally get around to sorting your record collection).

THE GROOMED GROOMGentleman, while it has been a custom in our culture
for the bride to take charge of most aspects of the
wedding planning and preparation, one way you can
help is by taking care of yourself!
Your gorgeous girl will be doing all sorts of primping
and pampering to look amazing on your big day.
Guys should get out there and get pampered and
cleaned up for the big day too.
Here are our top three tips on what to do leading up
to your big day, with enough time left to possibly still
hit the links the morning of your vows:
1. Make sure your hair is trimmed and neat. Schedule
your haircut 4-5 days before the big day. Ask your
stylist for product recommendations and styling tips so
you are sure to look your best.
2. Are your hands and feet in need of some serious
attention? Even if you have never tried it, a manicure
and pedicure may be in order. Schedule your
manicure and pedicure 2-3 days before the wedding
to be sure your nails are in photographic condition for
the pics of your new ring.
3. And, even if you have avoided most of the wedding
planning load, the approaching day can bring on
some stress! Relax, and enjoy a nice massage the
day before you walk down the aisle.
For more tips and tricks fromour styling experts, check out our blog:
WEAR IT: NUDE NAILSNude colored nails are a great
way to look polished without
being overdone. We
recommend �nding a color that
is slightly darker than your
natural skin tone. Before you
start, be sure that any leftover
polish has been removed so you
have a nice, clean slate. Prep
the surrounding nail area with a
cuticle cream to clear up
unwanted hangnails, then swipe
clean with a touch of nail polish
remover. File nails in a “squoval” shape; meaning square with rounded
corners. Be sure to use a base coat and top coat to get longer lasting wear.
Rather not mess around with all the prep? Schedule your appointment for a
manicure at Salon 01. Choose from our regular natural nail manicures or a
Shellac manicure with gel polish that lasts up to 2 weeks with no chipping!

COLOR YOUR WORLDDid you know that trained
stylists, who have mastered
the art of dimensional color,
are able to strategically place
highlights and lowlights that
work with the shape of your
haircut?
Consulting with a professional,
rather than trying to alter your
hair color alone, will ensure
that you achieve the look you
are going for! Book an appointment at Salon 01 now to update your look for the
new season!

Commentary by Vicky Earley
Greetings from High Point, North Carolina, home of the largest home furnishings market in the world where an optimistic economic psyche
is apparent.For six marathon days, this
sleepy town extends small-town hospitality to more than 80,000 home furnish-ing retailers and designers as they preview the trends for the next six months of the home inte-rior industry.
This semi annual event is the ultimate gaze into the crystal ball of home furnishing trends.
A kaleidoscope of color has exploded and offers a much needed reprieve from the sullen grays of the past few years. Cleaner and more vibrant, these hues explode in room settings.
Orange and lavender are the stars and are being paired with sapphire, teal and sunshine yellow. These unorthodox combinations might not be as appealing if we weren’t starving for an optimistic change.
Leather, dyed in unexpected colors, continues to punctuate room vignettes.
Large scale geometrics dominate the pattern
world while broad tapes have overshadowed fringe. Chevron patterns are still dizzyingly popu-lar in bold hues and rhythmic arabesque patterns are the up-and-coming star.
Sofas are being shown in anchor solids but
dressed for panache by a mélange of pillow pat-terns and colors that tie-accent chairs.
Details are now works of art with nail heads that create a pattern and broad tapes that pro-vide the essential interest detail.
Linen is still a contender as a fabric choice, but the color choices far exceed the generic natural of last year.
Quality, in spite of pricing, outshines the cheaper stepsister pieces. When a pattern is lined up with precision, you know that the craftsmen is versed in how to do it right.
While transitional style with sleek silhouettes reigns, it is more sophisticated with the inclusion of inlaid marquetry and rich wood finishes. The new richness allows a smooth transition into a traditional décor.
Expect to see these trends make their pres-ence known immediately in online design blogs and within weeks from local retail sources.

Commentary by Larry Greene
ORIGINAL KITCHEN: Originally built in 1982, this home is located on the first lot sold on Geist Reservoir. The current owners are the original homeowners, and the husband is a retired local
custom homebuilder.WHy REMODEL? The
original kitchen was U-shaped and fit into
a narrow space with a breakfast area. French doors led to a three-season porch overlooking the water. The homeowners felt it was time to remodel the space and to convert the porch into a four-season sunroom. “Floor plans have changed,” said the homeowner. “It used to be that there were more walls. Everything is more open now. Also, the original kitchen was nearing the end of its life, and we were tired of the oak cabinets. We also felt that we would get more use out of a sunroom than a porch.”
NEW SUNROOM SPACE WITH BUMP OUT: The goal of the design was to create an open floor plan for the kitchen area. The plans called for re-moving the porch and building a sunroom addition fully open to the remodeled kitchen. Visual access to the water was a priority as well. The sunroom was cantilevered off the original foundation walls, as its footprint was larger than the original porch. All new framing was required, and large windows were installed. A wood beam spanned the new opening from the kitchen to the sunroom.
Kitchen remodel creates an open four-seasons space
FINAL RESULT: As a former custom homebuilder, the homeowner had an eye for the details. “We wanted cherry cabinets and a more traditional style. We really like the granite we chose, as it blends with the cabinets yet it is light. With all of the windows being on one side of the room, dark countertops would have been too dark. The tile design over the range works well too. Our favorite part of the re-model is the sunroom. We use it all the time, and we are enjoying our view more.”
