Many told Rod Sinn he would never achieve getting Nike to agree to host the Elite Youth Basketball League at Jonathan sports Byrd’s Fieldhouse its first year of operation. Yet the president of operations chose to let the negative comments fuel him instead of bringing him down. Jonathan Byrd’s Fieldhouse will now host the Nike EYBL from April 22 to 24. “We got the second live period, which means all college coaches are allowed to come and watch the kids play,” Sinn said. “That’s one of the best ones we can get. We have session two, which is just unheard of to get in the first year, which is great.” The EYBL has never been hosted in Indiana before. “The whole idea for hosting the EYBL was two years ago, when this whole building started as a dream,” Sinn said. “This was my goal, to hold a Nike EYBL here. If we ever got the building done, that’s what I wanted to do.” Sinn sent Nike multiple updates over the months, verifying all the amenities such as the WiFi and cameras and eight courts that would be available in time to host the EYBL. On Feb. 29, Sinn got verification to announce the event publically.

“My hope is they come back every year. We’ve already started meeting with the Hamilton Co. Sports Authority, and we hold weekly meetings with people from Grand Park to address any issues that might come up,” Sinn said. “We make sure this is the best event Nike has ever had and make them come back every year. That is the goal.” The EYBL is estimated to bring an economic impact of $2.2 million. Hotel rooms are already getting booked. Three hundred D1 coaches may be in attendance to watch the kids compete and possibly recruit them to their specific college. “You don’t understand how big the thing is until you realize you’re hosting it. This is Nike’s top event that they host in youth basketball,” Sinn said. “It’s like building Lucas Oil Stadium and getting the Super Bowl in the first year.” The other three cities to host the EYBL are Brooklyn, N.Y., Hampton, Va. and Atlanta, Ga. The Peach Jam, the final championship that all other events bleed in to, will be hosted in South Carolina. “There’s so many people that told me I would never get it and it just challenged me to work that much harder to make sure we did get it here,” Sinn said. “I’m very pleased and honored, and it’s proof that hard work pays off.” For more, visit www.nikeeyb.com/moments.

Music is so inherently in our culture, and people don’t realize that it is an endangered species.” Sands said citizens of Westfield may notice band or choir members performing in local shops around the city. The students will also make an effort to showcase what the music programs at WHS offer to other students, and they plan on performing during lunch hour and passing periods. “We are not trying to be invasive, but we are trying to be noticeable,” Sands said. “A lot of students are not aware of (the band) and they don’t know how good our music is here. We will perform during lunch and passing periods so that people not involved in our program can be exposed and develop an ap-

Since Hamilton Co. is the wealthiest county in the state of Indiana, experts say it sometimes can be hard for the avercounty age person to see the benefit of mass transit. If they own multiple cars and don’t need to take a bus, these residents don’t see why the county wants taxpayer-subsidized routes heading north of 96th Street. But lack of mass transit can affect people in ways others don’t realize. “Next time you are at the grocery store and lanes aren’t open and you see long lines in the store, that’s probably because the store couldn’t find enough employees to hire,” said Nate Lichti, executive director of the Hamilton Co. Area Neighborhood Development, Inc. “That’s because of a lack of affordable housing or mass transit.” Lichti said the average cost of housing in Hamilton Co. means that a resident statistically needs to earn around $18 an hour to afford to live in the county. With workers making $9 or $10 an hour for many entry-level jobs, these employees must commute from outside the county, but without mass transit it can make travel less than reliable at times.

employees can rely on mass transit, as well. This is the message that many pro-mass “The price point for housing in Hamilton transit advocates are telling elected officials Co., for many reasons, is higher than and decision-makers: mass transit is people in tourism or retail or hospitalneeded so companies can hire addiity or the medical field may make,” tional employees. she said.

Meet your teacher: Jessica Cole Grade/subject/school: Music teacher Maple Glen Elementary Years teaching: 26 Background/Schooling (college & high school): Brownsburg High School, Brownsburg, Ind.; B.S. Kindergarten-Primary Education, Indiana University, Bloomington; B.S. Music Education, Elementary/Intermediate, Middle School/Junior High, Indiana University, Bloomington; M.A. Curriculum Design and Instruction, Olivet Nazarene University, Bourbonnais, Ill. Why did you become a teacher? “I started my music education degree because of my love for music. My elementary music teacher, Mr. Reader, was always fun and gave each of us opportunities to express our individual talents and abilities. When in college, I explored elementary education classes and fell in love with that area of teaching as well, and switched from music education to elementary education. I was formerly a first grade teacher at Westfield for 16 years and then became the music teacher at Maple Glen when the building opened. I enjoy seeing the enthusiasm of the children when they experience something new and challenging and their joy when they achieve success at the completion of the task or event.” What goals do you have for your students? “My main goal is that my students develop an appreciation for music. Next is that they enjoy listening to and making music in one way or another. Not all of my students are going to go on to play an instrument or sing

in a choir, but all of them will listen to the radio and attend concerts. I want my students to have an appreciation for what the artists Cole have had to learn and endure in their lifetimes to be able to perform. Favorite movie? “I don’t know that I have a favorite movie, but I do like ones that make my mind really think about what if the story could take place. I like the fantastic story lines, those that probably would never happen, but if they could, the event would be an amazing one to tell about!” Favorite musician or band? “I enjoy all types of music, but the artist I’ve paid money to go see is the band Earth, Wind, and Fire. Their music is so upbeat and fun, and it just makes me want to move and enjoy the time I’m with them. I love going to live performances of any kind, whether it’s an orchestra, ballet, high school band or simply a small combo on the street corner that happens to be playing as I walk by.” What’s something your students might not know about you? “I don’t think my students know that deep down I am really quite shy, and don’t like to be in the spotlight at all. And, one of my very favorite things to do is to sit on the beach all day and play with the hermit crabs. I even have four hermit crabs at home in a tank next to my bed that I give fresh water to every night and feed just before I go to sleep.”

Club Hub implemented at WHS By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Kurt Frederick has a vision that 100 percent of the students at Westfield High School will become involved in some type of after school activity, whether it’s sports Activities or a club. Frederick is part of a group of teachers with a common interest in extracurricular options that try to unite the students with those activities. The Club Hub, one of the plans to encourage students to pursue extracurricular activities, was recently launched. The Club Hub makes its home in the library at WHS, where students can browse on an iPad with schoolwide club information. There is also a bulletin board Frederick clears and resets each week that details which clubs meet and when. “It became a big mash of ingenuity,” Frederick said. “A collection of creative minds and so many people wanted to take on a part of it, and it ended up looking like it does today.” The group received a grant from the Westfield Washington Education Foundation for $84.47 to use toward the sign and the iPad application that drives the kiosk. “What I just hope is that students don’t

Jan Skinner knows the public is well versed on the constant escalating costs of college. The Westfield Education Foundation is doing its part to aid Westfield High cover story School students. “The more funds we raise, the more funds we can give away to the students trying to achieve their college dreams,” said Skinner, who has been the WEF executive director for 13 years. The major fundraiser for 18 years has been the Underground Railroad Run, which is set for March 19. There is a 5K run, 3K

teacher grant pays off for students Westfield High School music teacher Jeffrey McLaughlin learned how beneficial a WEF grant can be this school year. McLaughlin used his $1,000 grant to have steel pan educator David Chase visit his class. Chase is originally from Trinidad and Tobago, where the steel pan originated. Chase and his steel pan group performed in concert following the first visit in February. Chase will also visit in April and May. Chase is the music director at Shepherd Community Center, an outreach center on east side of the Indianapolis. Following the concert, McLaughlin’s class performed and volunteered reading with young children at Shepherd. “The partnership with David and Shepherd was very fun and rewarding,” McLaughlin said. “The students learned more about poverty in the poorest section of Indianapolis. We learned how Shepherd addresses this issue holistically to help meet physical, spiritual, emotional and financial needs of the community. Steel pan is one vehicle used to get kids involved in music.”

Underground Railroad Run March 19 Race Day schedule: Registration and T-shirt pickup from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. The 5K run starts at 9 a.m. The 3K walk starts at 9:30 a.m. The health fair booths are open from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Registration: To register, visit tuxbro.com, or call 733-3300.

walk and a health fair. Skinner said the run, on average, has raised more than $20,000 each year for the foundation. “We get hundreds and hundreds of runners and walkers,” Skinner said. “The new thing that is exciting this year is we are actually going to have the start and finish line on the Riverview Health Stadium track.” The race then travels through downtown Westfield, where Underground Railroad housing has been documented. Over the past 30 years, Skinner said WEF has awarded $950,000 in college scholarships. “By the time we get through this spring giving away scholarships, we’ll be knocking at the door of one million dollars,” she said. “We attribute that to all these families that come out to support us.” In addition to helping raise money for scholarships for high school seniors, the foundation also provides teacher grants each fall. “We want innovative applications,” Skinner said. “We’re looking for the out-of-the-box ideas but they just can’t pay for it out of their own pocket. We’re here to help them provide learning opportunities that add to the excellence of education for Westfield Washington School students.” The grants are for teacher at any grade level, up to $1,000. Skinner said a parent-volunteer group conducts a blind review of the grant applications. “The board of directors of the foundation makes the final determination, but we really value what those parent volunteers do,” she said. “They put a lot of thought into it. Then we reward whatever amount we can.” During the run, there is a random drawing where 25 seniors will receive $350 scholarships. “That could help toward books or anything,” said Skinner, adding applications aren’t necessary for the drawing, but if a senior registers for the Underground Railroad walk or run, they get their name placed in the drawing four additional times. The health fair is another popular feature, Skinner said. “It’s a great opportunity for community members to see what is available,” she said. “We try to bring in lots of interesting people.”

FR O M   T HE B A C K SH O P

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Buffett shows his brilliance Warren Buffett, billionaire extraordinaire? There is no refuting his financial status. We marvel at his wealth, and we realize we’ll never be in the same rarified air as he. That’s OK. A news item barely surfaced last week about the Oracle of Omaha (or, Democrat from Nebraska), and the mainstream media let it pass without comment, which is why we know he’s a Democrat. If he were a Republican, especially one named Trump, it would have been open season. His mobile-home business foreclosed on more than 8,000 customers in 2015. That’s probably the real “warm and fuzzy” Uncle Warren in action. If he embraces the Democrats, as he has Hillary Rodham Clinton, it’s akin to sleeping with the devil and it calls off the dogs. The mainstreamers won’t give this the ferocity of reporting that a Republican would generate. Think for a moment what would be reported if a Donald Trump-owned mobile home business had done the same, or one owned by the conservative Koch brothers, for that matter. Meanwhile, nary a peep out of Clinton. So, it’s a brilliant move on Buffett’s part. Is this a great nation, or what? ••• Lines of the week: “If you tuned into ABC’S ‘This Week’ the morning after Trump’s tremendous victory in South Carolina, you found George Stephanopoulos promising analysis from a “powerhouse roundtable,” by which I assume he was referring to the table itself.” That’s syndicated columnist Ann Coulter. And this from one of our own, with whom we were talking politics and which losers the establishment is backing. “You can’t control winners; you can only control losers.” Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Courage on reserve Commentary by Terry Anker The ancient Greeks believed it to be one of the four cardinal virtues. Courage – defined as the willingness to intentionally put one’s self into a circumstance that brings great fear, anxiety or reprehension. We honor our heroes for their exceptional fortitude and admire those with the ability to overcome dread with an eye toward the greater good. It appears every day, in ordinary ways. A toddler learning to take those first tentative steps exhibits their own nascent bravery. A teenager, making the right choice in the face of daunting peer-pressure, has it. The elderly man facing his own mortality with confident reserve certainly shows it. All around are moments of personal challenge, and then, ones of personal triumphs. Hamilton Co. Firefighters 4416 and Carmel Firefighters Local 4444 are working to place a memorial on the Court House square in Noblesville to honor those who have lost their lives in serving all of us – reach out to

Tony Murry (HC) or Sean Sutton (Carmel) to help. While this particular effort is in Hamilton Co., these men and women put themselves in harm’s way, on our behalf, when called – anywhere. To overcome real and apparent fear and enter a burning building to the benefit of a stranger, assuredly meets the standard set by the ancients of courage. In remembering this sacrifice and honoring those who have shown such fortitude in the face of adversity inspires us all to find the courage within each of us. One is reminded that the cowardly lion learned that he had it all along if only he’d used it. Do we all have a “reserve” of courage somewhere deep inside that, if tapped, can help us find the strength to overcome the bondage of our own fear?

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EE K Retirement may be looked upon as a prolonged-holiday or as a rejection, a being thrown on the scrap heap. – Simone de Beavoir

I had the pleasure of participating in a Twins Panel a while back, both as a twin myself and as a mother of humor twins. So I thought I’d share my responses with you, my adoring fan base. ‘Cause who doesn’t wanted to know more about me? 1. “Working full-time, do you ever miss your kids?” No. Nor have I ever. Even when I went back eight weeks postpartum after my first born. I do experience guilt, almost on a daily basis, and I occasionally have emotional breakdowns in my car over whether or not I’m a horrible mom for wanting to spend eight to 10 hours away from short people, but I can’t honestly say I ever really miss my kids. Bottom line? I’m a better mom when I don’t have to focus all of my attention on nutritional lunches, laundry apartheid and choosing which day we’re going to contract pink eye from the Children’s Museum. 2. “With four kids, how do you balance all the activities and still have time for family?” We don’t really. We try our best, but honestly we rarely eat a meal together. With kids in all age groups and at levels where multiple practices/competitions a week are the norm, we are chalking up serious mileage. But studies show that busy, engaged kids are less likely to end up meth addicts or knocked up, so we’re sticking with the crazy. 3. “Do you ever get to spend one-on-one time with your children?” Sometimes, yes. But generally, no. The car usually provides the best opportunity for individual time these days, though with a teenage driver helping out, the moments are becoming less common. And, if I’m not already asleep at my 8:30 p.m., I will occasionally crawl in bed with a kid and chat about his or her day. I’m not super proud of this lack of parental attention, but no one needs therapy yet, so they can’t be suffering too badly. There you have it. Enough “Danielle Wilson” fodder for you to make it through the week, whether you’re criticizing or commiserating. Peace out! Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Great Indiana Songbook celebrates Hoosiers’ music contributions By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Great American Songbook Foundation is doing its part to celebrate Indiana’s 200th year as a state. history The Great Indiana Songbook: Two Centuries of Hoosier Music free exhibit will be on display on the gallery level of the Palladium in Carmel. “With the Bicentennial connection, I think this is going to have a broader appeal than some of our other exhibits,” said Chris Lewis, director of programs for The Great American Songbook Foundation. The exhibit, which opened Feb. 15 and runs through January, features Indiana music legends from Cole Porter to Jackson 5 to John Mellencamp to Axl Rose. “Our official definition for the Songbook is music that will last beyond the time it was written,” Lewis said. “For our preservation efforts, we focus on the Golden Age and we do focus on the standards. But we’re celebrating American music and Indiana has one of the richest legacies of any state I know. It’s pretty remarkable when you think about it.” Lewis said the typical Great American Songbook audience clearly identifies with Hoagy Carmichael and Cole Porter. “But the Gaithers have written more standards and more songs that are in hymn books and they’re from Anderson,” Lewis said. The Gaither Vocal Band, featuring Bill Gaither, will make its first appearance at the Palladium at 3 p.m. June 12 as part of the Bicentennial. Included in the exhibit is Steve Wariner, a Grammy-winning country singer from Noblesville. “He sent us several artifacts,” Lewis said. “We have handwritten lyrics from him and costumes.” The Wright Brothers are featured in the display. Tim Wright lives in Carmel and brother Tom in Fishers. The exhibit points out that Albert Von Tilzer who co-wrote “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is from Indianapolis. Some Indiana rising stars displayed are Josh Kaufman, winner of “The Voice” in 2014, and Jon McLaughlin. Lebanon’s Lucas Debard,

An inactive display allows visitors to view music from different Indiana artists. Lewis said a new program called Perfect Harmony, a partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter will be involved. Regularly scheduled group programs are available for those individuals with earlystage Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. “It’s a music therapy program,” Lewis said. “We bring them in here and show them the exhibit. We use the interactive display. We’ll

have bingo and things that use the brain.” Lewis said they are also in the process of doing an outreach project with assisted living homes. Lisa Lobdell, archivist for the foundation, said there are about 20 Indiana artists on the interactive display. “A lot of people are surprised when they come through, saying I didn’t know this person came from Indiana,” Lobdell said. There is also another TV screen where documentaries or movies can be shown. “We’ve had people literally sit and watch a movie and then pull a chair around and watch the music,” Lewis said. “You can spend as much or as little time as you want. There are 50 artists represented.”

Remodeling your kitchen or bathroom is a big project, but it’s the little things that make your remodel stand out. remodeling Adding carefully chosen details can elevate the level of style in your home, and make your project look like more than just another kitchen or bathroom. Cabinetry Panels Cabinets are functional, but they can also be beautiful! We love taking the detail from a cabinet door and carrying it over to the exposed sides of the cabinetry. This small detail adds a touch of elegance, and turns what is basically a “blank space” into something decorative. Adding Feet You probably don’t pay much attention to the bottom of your vanity or cabinets, but if you add feet, you can bet people will notice. This thoughtful detail gives your fixtures a more custom look, and makes them look more like a gorgeous piece of furniture. Posts, Legs, and Trim You’ve added elegant details to your cabinets, but what about that center island? A well-placed trim, post, or even carved legs on one side makes your island look like more

The Louvre’s Satanic pyramid? Commentary by Don Knebel The Louvre Museum in Paris occupies more than 650,000 square feet, has 403 rooms and exhibits more than 38,000 items. travel But some of the 10 million visitors each year are more interested in the number of glass panes in its entry pyramid. The Louvre, a former fortress, was renovated in 1546 as a residence of King Francis I. Francis, a patron of the arts, summoned to Paris a number of Italian artists, including Leonardo da Vinci, who brought with him an unfinished Mona Lisa. Francis eventually acquired the completed Mona Lisa, which hung on the palace walls of a succession of French rulers until 1800, when it was placed in the Louvre, which became a national museum during the French Revolution. The Mona Lisa was stolen in 1911. When it was finally recovered in 1914, the previously little-known painting was an international sensation. Millions of people began coming to the Louvre just to get a glimpse of Da Vinci’s now famous work. By the early 1980s, the Louvre’s crowds were overwhelming its traditional doorways, so Pres-

ident Mitterrand commissioned the design of a new entrance. The winning idea, submitted by American architect I. M. Pei, was a 69-foot-high glass and metal pyramid in the center of the courtyard, allowing visitors to enter through a large underground lobby. Critics immediately pounced on the pyramid design as incongruous with the Renaissance style of the building. Rumors began circulating that Mitterrand had ordered that the pyramid, a shape long associated with the occult, include exactly 666 glass panes, a number often connected to Satan. Dan Brown perpetuated this claim in “The Da Vinci Code.” Today, the Louvre’s pyramid has become as much a symbol of Paris as the Eiffel Tower, itself lambasted when new. Visitors who carefully count the glass panes consistently come to 673. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column, visit donknebel.com.
