Eighth-annual derby set for Oct. 1

Dispatches Student Impact Basketball registration now open – Until Oct. 31, seventh through 12th graders can register for Student Impact Basketball. Registration is completed at therockwestfield.org/sports.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The eighth-annual Grand Junction Derby once again will bring Westfield residents to Union and Main streets to watch homemade cars race down a ramp and then be pushed to the event finish line. Derek and Conner Daly, former and current IndyCar drivers respectively, will be present during the derby and the 3 p.m. tricycle race, designed for children who cannot race a derby car to race on the same street as the derby. Usually, 17 to 20 cars compete for the derby trophy. “It’s a very unique concept because individuals submit a car. We see families working together, and it also incorporates businesses,” said Emily Clark, community events manager for the Westfield Parks and Recreation Dept. “We’ve seen a really big boom in businesses registering cars. It’s a good way to advertise the business.” There is a competitive heat and a creative heat. Winners receive a trophy. There also is a people’s choice trophy. The derby is free to watch and begins at 3:30 p.m. But Janus Developmental Service, a nonprofit in Noblesville designed to help those with disabilities contribute to the community, has partnered with the derby for the first time to host Janus at

the Junction, a fundraising event for the organization. Food and beer will be sold at the event during the derby. Tickets to attend the fundraiser, which begins at 5:30 p.m., are $20 in advance and $25 at the gate. “Janus came to us at the beginning of this year for ways to get more involved in Westfield because they are heavily involved in the other communities,” Clark said. “They thought downtown Westfield was the perfect location for something like this. They were interested in doing a concert and a beer fest, and so the first half of the day is the race and the second half of the day is Janus at the Junction.” For more, visit enjoywestfieldevents.com.

Students take 1,410 AP exams By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School began offering a few Advanced Placement classes in the early 2000s, education and now the school is up to 29 classes. In recent years, student participation has grown, as well. In 2012, 467 students participated in AP class. For Larrison the 2015-16 school year, 744 students took a total of 1,410 exams. “The thing I would like to expound upon that number is we have seen tremendous growth over the last five years when it comes to the number of students participating in the AP program,” Assistant Principal Bill Naas said. “More students are participating in a rigorous academic experience. On the flip side, what also makes us happy is that our pass rate for those exams continues to stay strong.” There is currently an 80 percent average pass rate for the AP exams. A pass is a score of three or higher on a one to five scale. Public colleges in Indiana are required to give high school students college credit for scoring a three or higher on the exam. Previously, WHS only allowed juniors and seniors to take AP classes. Since 2014, fresh-

man and sophomores have been able to participate in AP courses, as well. Ten percent of the freshman class has passed an AP exam and already has college credit. “We don’t want them taking (AP courses) too early and start too strong,” AP Coordinator Carrie Larrison said. “We are really careful about not overloading them.” Larrison said that even if a student doesn’t pass an Naas AP exam, the experience is still beneficial. “It does show that students perform better in college,” she said. “We love that they’re passing, but we are not so hung up on that because we see the benefit even if they only get a two (or lower) on the exam. It still shows a great deal of knowledge and learning.” Naas and Larrison also credit the teachers with WHS’s AP success. “Our AP teachers really put a lot of time and effort into making sure our students are best prepared for these courses and these exams,” Naas said. “I give a lot of credit to the students, of course, but the teachers have to be recognized as well because they really go above and beyond every year.”

Dispatches Students benefit from school supply drive – David Weekley Homes recently hosted its second annual company-wide Back to School Supply Drive in 22 cities across the country. In Indianapolis, school supplies were collected for Teachers’ Treasures, an organization that obtains and distributes school supplies to teachers of students in need. Team members spent more than 50 hours sorting the supplies and delivering them in time for the start of school. Teachers’ Treasures collected about $25,000 in donations, which will help to serve more than 60,000 children in Marion County.

Marcus Reed originally wanted to be a teacher. He attended Linfield College in Oregon, but when he graduated, due to a soft economy, there were no teaching jobs available. staff During college, he spent time at the firehouse as an intern, going to night school to get his paramedic license. He spent time during the summer filling in at the firehouse for guys who were on vacation. When he graduated, he had two avenues to follow – teaching or firefighting. He chose the latter and has been an EMT/Paramedic for 30 years. Reed Reed spent five years as a firefighter in Albany, Ore., and he spent time at Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue in Oregon and Roseville, Calif. He progressed through the ranks, and after being a battalion chief and chief of staff, he received a phone call from a friend in Indianapolis informing him of the open fire chief position in Westfield. The city announced Reed as its new fire chief last month. Previous Chief Joe Lyons will now serve in an administrative role in the department. Lyons had served as chief since March 2014. “This is a people business, and they have really good people here, and I have enjoyed getting to meet them and learn about Indiana,” Reed said. “Every place else I’ve ever been it’s different, but it’s the same … it’s a solid organization with a lot of good people in it, and I’m looking forward to leading it in the next few years.” “We are very excited to bring Marcus aboard,” Mayor Andy Cook stated in a press release sent to Current. “We conducted a careful and thorough search and we have confidence that we’ve made a wise decision with this appointment.”

ENDING AN ENGAGEMENT- WHAT TO EXPECT: LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

Hire Us

Before Your Spouse Does DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW MEDIATION & COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law DUI 317.DIVORCE | www.hzlegal.com 11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

In Indiana, courts divide a divorcing parties’ property in a manner which is deemed to be fair and reasonable. Indiana is considered a “no-fault” state, meaning the division of property is not dependent on who caused the relationship to end. Instead, the law of equity determines property distribution. Indiana law follows the “one-pot” theory for the division of marital property, which presumes all marital property is put into one pot and that a fifty-fifty (50/50) division of all marital assets and liabilities is presumed to be fair and reasonable. However, there are various factors Courts consider in determining whether or not a deviation from the equal division is warranted, including: the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of property; the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time of the disposition of the property; the conduct of the parties during the marriage as related to disposition or dissipation of their property; and the earning ability of the parties. Thus, while an equal division is presumed, one party can request more than fifty percent of the marital estate. However, what if the parties are never legally married? How does a court divide property and is the “no fault” theory still applicable? When ending an engagement, generally the laws governing a divorce do not apply to an unmarried couple. If the parties are never legally married, both parties are entitled to ownership of their own property and debts, unless there was an intentional decision to combine assets, which has been formalized. While this may seem easy enough, a few questions may remain, especially as they relate to property that once symbolized a couples’ affection for one another and contemplation of marriage. Under Indiana law, what happens to the engagement ring if the engagement is called off? Well, the courts must determine ownership of the engagement ring. In determining such ownership when the condition of marriage is never satisfied, courts either look to a “fault-based” or “no-fault” approach. The majority of jurisdictions utilizes a “fault-based” approach and order the engagement ring to be returned only if the engagement was broken by mutual agreement or unjustifiably by the receiver of the ring.

The “fault-based” theory stems from the idea that if the engagement ring is a token and symbol of the couple’s pledge to wed one another, it would seem only fair that the violator of such promise should not also get to keep the ring. However, keeping consistent with Indiana’s “no-fault” system of divorce, we utilize a “no-fault” approach when it comes to an engagement ring dispute. Thus, if no marriage occurs, the ring or the monetary value contributed to the ring legally belongs to the giver of the ring, not the person to whom it was gifted. Who is responsible for the wedding expenses? If contracts were signed for the wedding at the time the unmarried couple ends their engagement, then liability for the contract remains with the party who entered into the agreement. A contact occurs when two parties enter into a legally binding agreement. For example, a bride may enter into a contract with a florist to create her bouquet for the wedding day if the bride agrees to pay for the service. When the bride agrees, then a binding agreement is made between the bride and florist. If a cancellation is necessary, the bride would be the party considered legally liable for the contract. Upon cancellation of a contract with a vendor, the vendor and party cancelling should proceed according to the contract between the parties. Often times, such contracts will include a cancellation clause that details what happens in the event of a cancellation…whereby the contract might allows for a party to receive back their deposit, only pay a partial price, or pay nothing at all. The terms agreed to would be fact specific to each party and should be carefully examined before entering into the agreement.

Club at Chatham Hills set to open Sept. 29 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Steve Henke saw the land in Westfield and knew it was the perfect place for a new golf club community. event “I’ve been acquiring ground for this course starting seven or eight years ago,” said Henke, partner of Henke Development Group. “I found a parcel up there that had such interesting terrain, and when I looked at that, I thought if I could acquire some of these other parcels that have incredible terrain, also, we can put together a great layout for a championship golf course as well as a resort residential community to go with it. Over a three- to four-year period we were able to put together 800 acres.” Henke has worked with famed golf course designer Pete Dye to develop Chatham Hills, a par 72, 7,215-yard course. Dye began developing the course approximately 18 months ago. All residents and members will have access to the executive 9-hole par 3 course. Dye, 90, and his wife, Alice, were scheduled to open the course Sept. 29 at Chatham Hills with ceremonial tee shots. The Club at Chatham Hills, 20298 Tomlinson Rd., is surrounded by an upscale housing development. “When it’s complete I would estimate it’s

(going to have) 750 to 800 homes,” Henke said. “There are already 75 to 80 homes under construction. There have been 170 lots sold. A number of families are already living there.” Henke worked with Dye to develop The Bridgewater Club in Carmel. Dye designed his first of 179 courses in Greenwood in 1962. “It’s all rolling terrain. It’s creeks, valleys, hills and lot of woods,” Henke said of Chatham Hills. “Pete worked with me in designing the residential lots, so they all have incredible views of the course. We began constructing those in November 2014.” Henke, who lives at Bridgewater but plans to move to Chatham Hills, said he hopes the

course will get perhaps six weeks of play this year before the weather turns too cold. “We waited as long as we could to let the course grow in and let the members experience it this fall,” Henke said. “We can’t be happier with Pete’s work in this and how it all turned out.” There is an 18-hole, par 72 course of 7,215 yards for members. The private club will include a clubhouse with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a kiddie pool, a swim-up pool bar, tennis and pickleball courts, bowling center, golf simulator, a lounge and fitness center. There will be a banquet facility and a dog park.

On Sept. 12, the Aurora Planned Unit Development at the southeast corner of U.S. 31 and Ind. 38 was introdevelopment duced to the Westfield City Council nearly 10 years after it was originally approved. In December of 2006, the Aurora PUD was proposed to encompass 317 acres in northern Westfield with commerce buildings, retail, Spoljaric apartment homes and attached single-family housing. Despite an unfavorable recommendation by the 2006 plan commission, the then-town council approved the project. Yet when the economy slowed, the petitioners delayed the project. Ten years later, the plan was re-introduced to the city council with modernizations made to the proposal. “(The updated proposal) expands greatly on the commerce park uses. We see that as the main focus,” Petitioner Chris White told the council. “There are a lot of businesses looking to be relocated from the downtown area of Westfield that seek a home. We have a lot of outside users looking at Westfield. With that, we have expanded greatly the commerce park uses, maintained the office look along (U.S.) 31, and maintained the shop areas. The apartment area has been eliminated, and attached housing has been greatly reduced. We are asking for detached single-family homes to be permitted use. We are asking for a reduction of housing units from 694 (in 2006) to 194 units.” Although the proposal was only an introduction and a public hearing is scheduled for 7

p.m. Oct. 3 at city hall, 130 Penn St., in front of the advisory plan commission, councilors still had suggestions for White. “I served on the plan commission in 2006, and the original plan did receive a negative recommendation from plan commission but did pass through council,” Councilor Cindy Spoljaric said. “This petition, it was beyond confusing to me. My hope would be you start from scratch using what we’ve got now in terms of how we manage our PUDs and not trying to revert things back to original given it is 10 years old. It would be my hope you would go through and work with staff to come to a new approach to the PUD, understanding the needs you have and current zoning you have and come about it in an updated manner.” To view the agenda for the Oct. 3 APC meeting, visit westfield.in.gov.

City staff members donate hours, sunshine basket to employee battling cancer By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com On April 15, Cari Hahn received the news that thousands of women receive each year. She had luminal B bilatcover story eral breast cancer which would require a double lumpectomy, double radiation and eight weeks of chemotherapy. But Cari, her husband, Matt, and their twin daughters weren’t alone in the fight. “The support system has really been wonderful,” Matt said. “She’s had so much support through the City of Westfield. These people are like family. They’ve been wonderful from the mayor on down. Northview Church, where the Hahns are members, also has aided the family, as has the Indianapolis Fire Dept. where Matt works. Perhaps the most generous donation of all is from the city. Cari is Mayor Andy Cook’s executive assistant. Despite receiving che-

motherapy, she still works full time. City employees have banded together to donate more than 1,400 hours of vacation time for her to use when she needs time off. “My doctors basically said if you maintain normal activities that’s going to help you through this,” Cari said. “I think I work through it because I have a sense of commitment, because they (city employees) are my support. I think that’s been a big part of why I want to be at work.” In addition to the donated hours, the city also donated a ‘basket of sunshine’ to Cari. The basket included all things yellow: Big Bird slippers, Subway gift cards, a feathered boa, wine glasses and more. City employees don doo-rags or hats every Friday, mayor included, to show support for Cari. “Our heart has been so opened,” Matt said. “I’ve always felt we can tackle anything, we can do anything, but you get humbled really quick. With Cari, she’s tough, she’s a warrior, but all of a sudden you realize you’re human, and people start reaching out out of the blue. It’s overwhelming.” Cari’s primary strength is arguably her attitude. Her office is decorated with bright colors and frames with positive messages.

“I could go through this and have a really bad attitude, or I could be grateful that I have a very curable cancer,” she said. “I think you have to be very hopeful. I think you have to have a positive attitude. I think it makes a big difference.” Family humor also plays a part. “Humor is the only way to get through anything in life,” Matt said. “If you don’t have a sense of humor, it’s just going to overwhelm you. That’s the real prize. Cari really just went through this with a smile on her face.”

While laughing, Matt said the family isn’t late for church anymore because Cari doesn’t have to do her hair. Cari’s chemotherapy ends this month. She will then begin radiation therapy. Life will begin to take a normal appearance again, but the Hahns realize life doesn’t stop because of cancer. They’ve made sure to include their 13-year-old daughters in that realization. “We have had very honest conversations with them,” Cari said. “We treated them like adults,” Matt said. “As a husband, it’s very humbling. All I want to do is take that away from her, but we have two twin 13-year-old girls, they have cheerleading … life doesn’t stop because of the cancer. Cari is not letting this define her.”

VIEW FRO M THE RIGHT Another weekend in leftist USA

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Susan Stamper Brown We live in a country run by people who tell us that if a man puts on a dress and says he’s a woman we are supposed to take him at his word. But if a man goes on a murderous rampage in the name of Allah, and ISIS claims responsibility, we shouldn’t draw conclusions. Americans selected this band of leftist fools who have zero aptitude for dealing with terrorism. In a 12-hour span Sept. 18 and 19, we saw that it is not safe to shop in a mall in Minnesota, or run a 5k in New Jersey or walk in New York City without risk of terrorism. “Rest assured,” they tell us, “justice will be served.” Of course, they are always quick to remind us to not make assumptions. Heaven forbid we offend someone’s sensibilities. The beautiful fragrance of the American way of life is being overtaken by the stench of dead flies resting on the laurels of political correctness. When ISIS claimed responsibility for the Minnesota attack, it wasn’t enough for the FBI to draw conclusions about the motive of the stabber. Meanwhile, in New Jersey, a pipe bomb-like explosive device detonated along the route of a 5K charity race to help Marines and sailors, and in New York City, 29 people were injured when an improvised explosive device went off in a Manhattan neighborhood. Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City, overly obsessed with controlling what New Yorkers eat and drink, immediately called the bombing “a very serious incident.” Apparently, the mayor couldn’t get his sodium-free tongue to utter the word “terror.” A case of follow the leader?

Dawn of the dread

Commentary by Terry Anker

Sometimes we dread the unknown. It scares us to peer into the abyss failing to comprehend the bottom. Other times, the known can hold as much sway in bringing us to the brink of breakdown. We note a coming obstacle and, recalling the difficulty in overcoming it at our last outing, drag our feet to avoid the confrontation. Either way, dread is here to stay. And in many cases, we are entirely justified in feeling the strong sense of foreboding. But with so many things in life proving to be difficult, and so many more unpleasant, how can we be a productive human if controlled by dirty doctor dread? There is a talisman to arrest this demon. From the dawn of dread, time has demonstrated to be its ultimate slayer. There has proven no difficult period, no rough patch in life, no embarrassing moment that has not, in due, unrelenting time, come to pass. Although we cannot control the object of our anxiety, whatever it may be, and even if it

may have irreversibly changed the direction of our lives, the intensity of the burden will fade. To be sure, we have all confronted demons and lost wars. Some more significant than others. Relationships fail. Careers veer off course. People die. But each of these will eventually cede to the clock. As soon as we direct ourselves to move on, we are free to do so. Likewise, the petty challenges of our daily routines — tests to be taken, reports to be filed, and rooms to be cleaned — all come and go with no more power over our lives than we give them. Prepare as best as possible. Take the test. Live with the consequences. Move on. Dread is still with us, but we are its master. So relax, it will all be over soon.

Q U OTE OF THE WEE K It is not how much you do, but how much love you put into the doing that matters. – Mother Teresa

The other night I woke up to a horrible smell. I thought at first it was my own breath, but after a cautious humor sniff and the recollection that I had indeed brushed, flossed and Listerined, I sat up and began looking around the darkened room. The odor seemed to be everywhere. When my eyes finally rested upon my peacefully sleeping husband, I solved the mystery. Doo was emitting noxious garlic fumes from every pore of his body, probably the remnants of his Thai food lunch. Again. But here’s the weird thing, I can’t tell if it’s him or if it’s me. What I mean is, does Doo have a strange affliction that causes him to radiate meal-stink eight hours post-consumption? Or have I developed such a superhuman sense of smell that even the tiniest waft of onion sweat makes me crazy? In all fairness to Doo, I also cringe and wave my hand frantically to increase air flow whenever I become trapped in a car with an odiferous teenager who’s straight from a 10-hour color guard practice. That’s not unusual, I suppose, but I’ve noticed I do the same thing even when confronted with what most would consider pleasant scents. For example, I frequently pinch my nose when the aforementioned teen enters a room wearing her new cucumber-aloe spray deodorant, or when her brother dons his cologne. Too much hairspray and/or perfume will also send me running, if I’m lucky enough to have the space to flee. Doo thinks I have a disorder called hyperosmia, which is really just a hypersensitivity to smell. But according to medical-dictionary. com, it’s common among “neurotic and histrionic personality types,” which clearly is not me. So maybe my issue is middle-age hormones, like when a pregnant woman becomes nauseous at the first hint of fried chicken in the air. Perhaps the good Lord has taken pity on my failing 40-something body, and is compensating me with supersized, estrogen-fueled schnoz abilities. Whatever the reason, I can see only two choices. Either Doo stops eating flavorful food or I start wearing a nose clip. Peace out.

Consider supporting the referendum Editor, I am proud to say I have been a resident of Westfield for nearly 20 years. During that time, I’ve seen our community grow, struggle and grow again, thriving and surviving through good times and bad, the way all great communities do. It was my privilege to serve as Westfield Washington Schools superintendent for 19 years. I am now working at the state level on many of the same issues Westfield schools face. I can tell you, without hesitation, that Westfield has the most passionate, talented team of educators I have ever seen. To a person, I was impressed and encouraged every day by their creativity and willingness to go the extra mile to help a student grow. This November, you are being asked to consider supporting the continuation of a referendum we originally approved in 2010 at a rate lower than what we approved at that time. Funds from this referendum will help

support the great work happening in Westfield classrooms. We have seen tremendous success and recognition of our students and programs despite the fact that Westfield Washington School District ranks among the bottom 10 of 380 Indiana school districts in per-pupil operating support, which is determined by the state. This referendum puts Westfield Schools in the middle of the pack in terms of financial support per student and levels the playing field. Under Dr. Grate’s dynamic leadership and with the passage of the referendum Nov. 8, I know we will have even greater success moving forward for our schools and our community. Sincerely, Dr. Mark Keen Former superintendent, Westfield Washington Schools

Businesses should invest in PAC Dear fellow community school supporters, I am reaching out to you, your family and your business to first thank you for being an “investor” in our great Westfield community. Along with the outstanding initiatives by our local government leaders in creating a profitable business environment to invest in Westfield, our schools have been a major reason we have, and continue, to attract many new families to our growing city. The founders and long-time residents of Westfield have built a great foundation of a family place to live, and our schools have built on this foundation to be one of the highest rated school systems every year. I am asking for your support for our great Westfield teachers, administrators, support staff, coaches and our whole Westfield team. Our schools and teachers have been very good to our community, and with you being an investor in Westfield, you understand the

need to support our schools to maintain our outstanding community. We need to jump in and demonstrate this support for our schools this election cycle by first voting “yes” on the operating budget referendum and by donating to the “Westfield Invest in Quality PAC” so that the steering committee can have the resources to help educate our community on the need to vote “yes” on the ballot this fall. I would ask that you and your business donate to the PAC, so we show our support for the “yes” vote and help with the needed resources. Please join my family/business in donating resources to this very important effort. Our goal is to raise over $30,000 by the end of this month, so I respectfully ask that you give this request consideration. I would hope we raise over half of this from our business community. Thank you, Birch Dalton, Westfield

Turn for the worse Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I seem to have a great deal of trouble turning things off. Turning them on? No sweat. Light switches, blenders, lamps, humor ovens and fans are a breeze — especially the last one. When I’d turn off my old car’s ignition and get out, it kept running. There was an additional reason I never bought another Ford Pinto, but I forget why now. My wife keeps reminding me to turn off my turn signal. My car has six airbags, a rear-view camera and voice-controlled GPS directions. I’d give it all up if the blinker would go off automatically after I — what’s the word I’m looking for? Oh, yeah: turn. The other day my wife and I were talking via cell phones. “Dick. Gotta go, I have another call.” “Okay, see ya.” “Dick, are you going to hang up or not?” “I’m trying, Mary Ellen. I pushed the button three times.” “I’m trying, also. Get off the phone. I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” “Don’t make this sound so personal.” Sometimes I can’t get my computer to shut down. I called Kevin, my tech nerd. He asked,

“Did you push the off button?” “How dumb do you think I am? And don’t mention that time for a hundred bucks you got my printer working by just plugging it back in the outlet.” “Okay, press the power button softly and hold it just a second.” “I did that. It won’t turn off.” “Then press the power button really hard and hold it for 20 seconds.” “How can both of those be right? I’ll just pull out the plug.” “Good idea. I can use the money.” I can’t turn off the loud commercials that play in the background of websites because I can’t find where the X is to close the windows. I’d turn the whole computer off, but remember: I don’t know how to do that. Yesterday, my wife wanted to go out for a date night. I suggested a sandwich at Jimmy John’s and the new Vin Diesel movie. “So much for romance,” she said. Finally, I learned how to turn something off.

Where’s Amy attends ATI’s Million Dollar Quartet Actors Theatre of Indiana has set the bar high yet again with its hit sensation “Million Dollar Quartet.” Where’s Amy attended the opening night show and from start to finish was beboppin, foot stompin’ and swaying to the tunes of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and, yes, Elvis was in the house, too. If you see one musical this year, go see “Million Dollar Quartet.” I sat in sheer joy as I was entertained and marveled how the professional talented cast not only looked and sang like the musicians, but actually played their own instruments, too. It was if we were watching Jerry Lee Lewis dazzle us on the piano along with Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Elvis jamming on their guitars - live. Totally mind blowing. Yep, it’s safe to say that ATI has a “Million Dollar Quartet” winner right here in Carmel. The acting is superb, and trust me, everything about this production shines. Congrats to the entire cast and crew. Get your tickets today, and while you are at it, grab your tickets for ATI’s ‘Cabaret’ coming Nov. 4-20. Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you there!

Bands co-op gaining momentum By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Persistence paid off for Mark Taylor. Taylor, a Fishers resident, approached Sahm’s Bar & Grill manager concerts Sean Malloy about his band, TimeSlip, a couple of times about playing at his restaurant. Sahm’s Bar & Grill, 7870 E. 96th St., Fishers, previously had folk singers Saturday nights. “I gave him a copy of our CD and I told him we’ll play one time for beverages and food,” Taylor said. “If we fill your restaurant up, you have to agree to bring us back every few weeks. He agreed, and we packed the place completely. He was excited and he said, ‘You give me some dates.’” When the manager needed another band after a cancellation, he called Taylor for a band recommendation. That led Taylor to suggest he book the bands for Sahm’s for the rest of the summer. He came up with the concept of Saturday Night Originals with all the bands playing their original music. The bands play from 10 p.m. to midnight. “The people at Sahm’s are fantastic, because there are not many places where a band that writes its own music can go in and

get paid fairly.” Taylor said. “They pay $400 a show, and that’s really supportive. Sahm’s has been very forward-thinking with this Saturday Night Originals. They’ve put their marketing department at my disposal. The reason they’re doing that is we’ve had instant results. We’re filling their place on most Saturday nights.” Taylor is hoping other bars/restaurants will adopt the concept. The schedule can be found on Facebook under Saturday Night Originals.

Breakfast pastry Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley It was a sad day when the powers of college football yielded to the viewer numbers of television networks and eliminated the traditional 1 p.m. Saturday start for virtually all games. Now we have Thursday and Friday night games and some 11 a.m. games on Saturday. Those early games allow us to serve breakfast before the game. If one has multiple burners on their grill, it isn’t hard to cook omelets with all sorts of ingredients. Suggestions are chopped onion, sausage, peppers, cheese, and so on. Then the cook can heat a flour tortilla on a burner and assemble a great breakfast burrito. For those tailgaters who don’t want to cook at the tailgate there is always the breakfast casserole. Please, if you are a regular reader, don’t send us emails about how we have repeated a recipe. We’ve had plenty of them in the past. Sausage pastry bake II Prep: 30 min. Bake: 30 min. Ingredients: • 2 pkgs. (12 oz. each) Johnsonville Original Breakfast Sausage Links • 1 4 oz. can chopped green chilies • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns • 1 medium red onion, chopped • 2 Tbsp. butter • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese • 1 8oz pkg. cream cheese cut into 12 even size chunks • 1/4cup minced fresh parsley • 10 eggs • 1 cup milk • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1/4 tsp. pepper

The sausage pastry bake. (Submitted photo)

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed • 1 egg, lightly beaten • 1 Tbsp. water Directions: Cook sausage according to package directions and cool slightly; cut into ¼-in. slices and set aside. In a large skillet, sauté hash browns and onion in butter for 6-8 minutes, or until tender. Press hash browns and butter to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with cooked sausage, cheeses, chilies and parsley. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt and pepper; then pour mixture over cheese. On a lightly floured surface, unfold pastry sheet; roll into a 13-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Place pastry over egg mixture in a small bowl; combine egg and water and brush over pastry. Cut slits in top of pastry. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes or until set and golden brown. Take this to the game and heat it on any grill with a foil tent. Serve with a side sauce of French’s Dijon mustard mixed with mayonnaise. Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” and is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

Mayall to appear at Warehouse By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com John Mayall has an unusually large repertoire to draw from in concert. After all, Mayall released concerts his first album in 1965, and his 64th came out this year. “It’s a different show every night, but it’s mainly drawn from my extensive catalog, with an accent on the new material,” Mayall said. “It changes every night. It’s a different setlist every night. As long as we get a good crosssection going, that’s all that counts. We’re creative musicians, and it shows in the material we play,” Mayall, dubbed the “Godfather of British Blues,” will perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 29 at The Warehouse, 254 First Ave. SW, Carmel. At 82, Mayall is still passionate about performing. “We love what we do. We get along together, and we have a great time performing,” Mayall said. “That’s why we work so much, because we like to play.” Mayall’s lineup has been together for approximately eight years. Mayall’s Bluesbreakers band included Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce in 1969 before they both left to form Cream.

Natural treatments for back-to-school challenges

Commentary by Betsy Rabold

School’s back in session. With a new year come new challenges for families. Let’s look at some of those challenges and family ways that may help your family make it through the first few months of school successfully. • Altered sleep schedules: Essential oils and herbal teas can be very helpful. Diffusing oils, especially at night, are a safe and easy solution. Don’t have a diffuser? Use a few drops of essential oil on a tissue and insert inside a pillowcase for a more restful sleep. Favorites are lavender and chamomile, as well as ylang-ylang and tangerine. Here’s an easy pillow spray recipe: add 5 drops of Roman chamomile and 10 drops of lavender to 2 oz. distilled water. Place in a small spray bottle. Spray pillow shortly before bedtime. Herbal teas before bedtime can also help. Teas are something just about anyone can use safely. Favorite sleep herbal teas are chamomile, lavender and passion flower. • Headache and neck pain: Essential oils applied to temples and base of neck may be useful. Also, rubbing a small amount at the base of the nose helps. Breathe in deeply for a count of five, hold that breath for a count of five, and then

slowly release for a count of five. A great essential oil blend is lavender, peppermint and a drop of rose oil. • Runny noses, sore throats and coughs: A new classroom and new friends can also mean new germs. Diffusing oils at home that help with boosting immunity are great. A mixture of rosemary, tea tree, cinnamon, clove, lemon and eucalyptus is very good. Honey and lemon juice can help a sore throat and cut through mucus. A neti pot to cleanse the nasal passages can be helpful. • Lice: The back-to-school friend that is not welcome is lice. There are many over-the-counter remedies that can be used that are not full of toxic chemicals. Putting tea tree oil into regular shampoo can help keep lice away. The lice do not like the smell. If they appear, coating the hair with olive or coconut oil and using a nit comb helps. For the full version of this column, visit currentinwestfield.com.

For dates and times, visit IndianaParkinson.org. Dangers of juicing – Making your own juice from fresh fruits and veggies can be a healthy choice for many people. There is a risk, however, of getting an overdose of sugar. Removing the juice (and sugar) from the fiber of the fruit makes the sugar content more concentrated. A good rule of thumb is to use a rotating variety of greens as the base of your juice with only one serving of fruit. This will keep the sugar content much lower. Souce: Naturalon.com

Blueprint for improvement: Upper-level remodel Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create a new bathroom while also updating the overall layout of the upper level. 1. The upper level of his house had a large hallway and landing at the top of the stairs that was wasted space. We were able to use this space to improve the overall layout of the floorplan. Larger closets for both bedrooms and a full bathroom for the children were created from the unused area. 2. The master bathroom was updated to include a walk-in shower, a double vanity, herringbone floors and a linen closet. The layout was reworked to enlarge the bathroom footprint into unused attic space. 3. The kids bathroom was created from the unused landing space. It has a double vanity and tub which makes it kid-friendly. A towel cabinet for added storage and a laundry chute are unique touches to this bathroom. 4. An addition on the back of the house was created to house a mudroom. The space gave the homeowners some improved organization and functional storage.

Before Background Info: This 1930s Meridian Kessler home was in need of a serious layout rework. These homeowners were looking for more efficient use of space on their upper level.

Before problems: This home had only one bathroom on the second level and the family needed to add a second full bathroom to accommodate their children. This not only made the whole family happy to have their own spaces but also added value to the home.

Helsinki Cathedral and statue of Czar Alexander II . (Photo by Don Knebel)

Helsinki and the czar Commentary by Don Knebel Senate Square is the most popular tourist destination in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The grand statue at its center travel remembers a ruler of Russia, which exercised control over the country for more than a century. After defeating Sweden in 1809, Russia gained control of Finland and made it a duchy, with the Russian czar as duke. In 1812, Czar Alexander I moved the Finnish capital to Helsinki because of its proximity to St. Petersburg. Because much of Helsinki had been destroyed during the war, the czar engaged C. L. Engel, a German-born architect, to design a new city center to match the city’s growing importance. Engel designed a plaza known as Senate Square surrounded by neoclassical buildings, including the Government Palace, the main building of the University of Helsinki, the National Library of Finland and the Helsinki Cathedral. The cathedral, with five green domes and statues of the Twelve Apostles on its roof, was modeled after St. Isaac’s Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Completed in 1852, the

cathedral is the most famous building in Finland, attracting 350,000 visitors a year. In 1894, after Czar Alexander II was assassinated in St. Petersburg, the residents of Helsinki erected a statue of him in the middle of Senate Square to recognize his re-establishment of the Diet of Finland in 1867. The love affair with Russia was short-lived. In 1899, Czar Nicholas II began the “Russification of Finland,” cracking down on Finnish autonomy. In protest, residents of Helsinki put flowers at the feet of Alexander II, whom they considered the “good czar.” After Finland gained its independence from Russia in 1917, some people thought keeping a Russian czar in Senate Square was inappropriate. But Helsinki residents decided to maintain the statue and plant colorful flowers at its base, continuing to honor his efforts on their behalf.
