Council hears Tamarack proposal

By Anna Skinner • [email protected]

At the Nov. 9 Westfield City Council meeting, the council heard a proposal for Tamarack, a Planned Unit Development District Ordinance

on the northeast corner of 161st Street and Oak Road.

Jeffrey Lauer of the city’s Economic and Com-munity Development Dept., and Jon Dobosiewicz, representing M/I Homes, presented the PUD – on 35 acres with 53 single family lots – to the council.

However, it was not the first time the PUD came into question before the council. A por-tion of the same property was presented May 1, then a month later was forwarded back to the council by the Advisory Plan Commission with an unfavorable recommendation. The previous petitioner then withdrew the proposal.

The new proposal includes additional real estate closer to the corner of 161st Street and Oak Road.

“The council heard an item in May for the Tamarack PUD, but it was withdrawn from con-sideration by the applicant. The current proposal represents a new concept plan,” Dobosiewicz said. “On the south side of the project with Oak

Road to the west, there are four parcels at the corner, three of which are not included in the proposal. The parcel that is included was not included in the proposal in May.”

Dobosiewicz also said in addition to the added parcel, M/I Homes will be contributing ad-ditional right-of-way and funding additional road improvements for the corner in question.

The home prices will range from $325,000 to $375,000 if approved.

Some council members disapproved, including

Cindy Spoljaric. “It still looks like the same plan, so I still have

the same feelings,” she said. “Not enough has changed for me to alter my opinion.”

Councilor Rob Stokes also voiced concern. “It’s the same thing plus more, so I don’t see

how or why this would be any more palatable to the plan commission … than it was the first time around,” Stokes said. “I would suggest we don’t send it on to plan commission and work with it as it was originally. It just seems like we are sending the same thing back, and its more of what they didn’t care for in the first place.”

However, the rest of the council members deemed the project worthy of reevaluation.

“I think one of the concerns that the city had with the previous project was not including the parcels to complete that corner,” Councilor Steve Hoover said. “To me the project is dif-ferent than what it was because the parcel is added, and we are looking at some funding to help acquire that property on the corner in the future because we all know that some improve-ments will be required at the intersection so I think its worthy of the reevaluation.”

The proposal was forwarded on to the APC meeting that will take place at 7 p.m. Dec. 7 at City Hall, 130 Penn St.

By Anna Skinner • [email protected]

In a field originally planned for a basketball court, Maple Glen Elementary School is asking for a change in the development plan to allow

for the construction of an out-door classroom and greenhouse. The current standards of the

zoning do not allow for building construction. The proposal was introduced at the Westfield

City Council’s Nov. 9 meeting and was forward-ed on to the Advisory Plan Commission meeting for 7 p.m. Dec. 7 at City Hall, 130 Penn St.

The field is on the northeast corner of Ditch Road and 171st Street. At the end of September, Maple Glen’s PTO held its second walk-a-thon to promote healthy living. Maple Glen decided to eliminate raising funds for the PTO through sell-ing items and instead used a dunk tank as one of its donation incentives.

Overall, the walk-a-thon raised approximately $19,000. If approved, the outdoor classroom and greenhouse will be built by Estridge Farms and Heartland Growers. The funds will also be used for classroom enrichment, materials and

programs. During the week of

the walk-a-thon, stu-dents painted Peace Poles to spread the message of peace. A butterfly garden and an outdoor orchard have al-ready been established at the school.

“This is a worldwide project, and it was a joy to see MGES par-ticipate,” Ashley Knott, MGES PTO president said

of the peace poles. “We are very excited about the future of our students, the garden and how our community can work together help each other, one seed at a time.”

You have decided it is time to talk to a family law attorney. Sometimes that is the toughest decision to make. But now that you know you need or want legal advice, who do you hire? It is common to feel desperate to �nd an attorney immediately after coming to the conclusion that you need or want a lawyer, but do not make the mistake that so many others have made in hiring your attorney based solely on timing and convenience. Frustration of hiring the wrong attorney can be avoided by �nding the right family law attorney to assist you from the beginning. The following are things to keep in mind (and some good questions to ask) when you are selecting a family law attorney:

1. It is personal: The attorney-client relationship is a personal relationship---maybe more so in family law than in any other area of the law. Family law cases involve life’s most sensitive and delicate issues. The issues you will be discussing with your attorney are probably the most personal and sensitive you will ever experience. If you do not feel comfortable talking with the attorney, keep looking! Be selective. Your attorney should listen to you and to your needs. Your attorney needs to listen and make you feel con�dent that he/she is competent and capable or representing you; reassured that your questions and concerns have been addressed; and secure in your “game plan” as to how and when (and even if) the case is going to be handled from the time of initiation until the �nal resolution.

2. Concentration on Family Law: If you needed a heart transplant, you would not go to an optometrist…and you wouldn’t go to a general practitioner or “family doctor,” either. You would go to a specialist---a cardiologist. The same is true with lawyers. Any attorney can claim to be competent to handle your divorce or help you with a custody case, etc., but you need someone whose practice is concentrated in family law. Find out the attorney’s level of concentration on family law by asking the following questions:• What percentage of your practice is dedicated to family law? • How many cases have you had like mine? With my specific issues?• Are you a member of the local (city or state) family law section of the bar association? • Have you practiced in this particular county/court in the past?

3. Does your attorney have time for you? In your �rst meeting, if the attorney seems “too busy” to give you 100% of his/her attention, does not take time to answer all of your questions, or just does not seem to be listening to you--- keep looking! If you are still unsure of what the attorney’s commitment to your case will be at the end of your initial consultation, ask the following questions: • How many cases are you actively working right now?• How many cases would you take at any given time? How many cases would you consider to be a “full workload?”• Do you have a policy on returning phone calls/emails?• How often will you communicate with me?

• Is it your policy to send me copies of all correspondence and/or documents you receive from the opposing counsel and/or the court?

4. Piranha or Peacemaker? Ok, so piranha is a bit extreme…but the idea is very important. Many clients are very angry when they �rst meet with family law attorneys, and they might believe that they “need a real �ghter” on their side who will promise to legally “punish” the opposing party. If that is what you believe you need or want, you can certainly �nd a “piranha-type attorney” who will infuse more con�ict into your case and will refuse to resolve even the simplest of issues without a battle. If you think that is the type of attorney you want to represent you, consider the following: • The only people who win in high-conflict cases are the attorneys…the more you fight with your spouse, the more money the attorneys make.• Even though you might have to compromise to reach an agreement, you are in controlof your future. You can determine what circumstances you can “live with.” Do you really want your future (and the future of your family and your children) to be determined by a judge who only has a few minutes to hear your life story before making a ruling? • The negativity that is created during family law cases will make it extremely difficult to have any future dealings and involvement with the other party after the case is over. Civility cannot be underrated. • If you have children, you have no excuse! Minimize the conflict in all ways possible for their bene�t.

5. Let’s talk fees: Even though it might be an uncomfortable topic, it is absolutely necessary that you talk to the attorney about fees. You should have a fee agreement in writing from your attorney explaining in detail how the representation is going to work, how you will be billed, etc. If you do not understand something about the fee agreement, ask! You have every right to understand completely how you are agreeing to spend it! If you have concerns about the written fee agreement or �nd that it is not speci�c or clear, be sure to ask the following questions, at a minimum:• What is your hourly rate?• What is the minimum time increment for recording your time?• Will there be any other people in the firm that will be billing time on my case? • What are the billable rates of any others that could potentially be working on my case?• How often will I receive an invoice?• If I have a question about an invoice, to whom should I direct my question?• What methods of payment do you accept (i.e., credit cards, etc.)?• What can I do to help keep my fees to a minimum?• How much is my retainer? And, when my retainer is gone, what is your policy for additional payments after the retainer is gone?

Max Trainor, a WHS junior, recently produced his own album, “home in the head.” (Submitted photo)

By Anna Skinner • [email protected]

After being involved in music for his entire life, Westfield High School junior Max Trainor

wanted to finally produce his own music.

“About a year back I started writing songs in my house, not really for any other reason than I enjoyed it, and it got to the point where I started sharing them with my family and friends,” Trainor said. “I started think-ing this could be something good.”

Trainor took inspiration

from the independent producer scene, so he purchased some recording equipment and ba-sic software and started recording last June. Recently, he just produced his album, “home in

the head.” “I want to continue to write

and perform for the rest of my life. It’s really the only thing I can see me doing and being actually happy with in the future,” Trainor said.

Trainor’s production equip-ment allows him to be the sole singer and player by overlapping his music. “home in the head” is free to stream and download at tellthewall.bandcamp.com.

With Thanksgiving nearing quickly, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have always been known for holiday shopping deals.

However, there’s another day wedged between the two that is also important: Small Business Saturday on Nov. 28.

Multiple local businesses in Westfield will be opening their doors with hopes of residents shopping at their stores, includ-ing Erin O’Rear, owner of The Wandering Peacock, an art gal-lery in downtown Westfield.

O’Rear will be placing 10 percent discounts on her handmade pottery in honor of Small Business Saturday.

“It’s so that small businesses can thrive and com-pete with large, corporate America box stores,” O’Rear said. “I believe small businesses have something to offer that people are becoming aware of, and it helps the community and the economy. It’s a wonderful way to give back to your local community.”

And although O’Rear is only running discounts on her pot-tery, any purchase in her store helps local artists, as the work for sale is the labor of 30 different local artists around Indiana. Those artists include several from Westfield, such as Steve Miller, an impressionistic landscape painter; Linda Lutes, who makes di-chrome glass jewelry and Pamm Phares, who creates

stained glass work. “We help create what the town is. Without these wonderful

businesses around here, it would just be big stores,” O’Rear said. “We aren’t necessarily the heart and soul of the town be-cause that’s the people, but we bring vibrancy. My shop brings color and good energy and handmade gifts you aren’t able to find anywhere else. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, open-ing up a small business, but it’s the most rewarding experi-ence I’ve ever had. It supports people’s passion.”

The Wandering Peacock will be open from noon to 4:30 p.m. on Small Business Saturday.

Other local Westfield spots will also be participat-ing in the annual ode to small businesses, including Betsy Rabold, general operator of My Father’s Garden Health and Wellness.

“I think Small Business Saturday is the more public recognition of what small business owners do every single day,” Rabold said. “We share in the community, and we share ourselves and our businesses, and we

help to build up the smaller communities and the neighborhoods.” On Small Business Saturday, My Father’s Garden will have

choose-your-discount specials, where the buyer draws a dis-count to be used on their purchase. They will also have special gift-card promotions.

“Small businesses are an incredibly important component

of the Westfield community. They are typically owned by people that live in the community and they provide that ‘local glimpse’ into who we are as a community to visitors,” said Matthew Skelton, director of Economic and Community Development for the City of Westfield.

Union Street Flowers and Gifts will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 28 and will also be holding some in-store specials.

“Local businesses tend to be very gener-ous in giving back to the community,” Skelton said. “We are fortunate to have such a long history of this in Westfield. Small Business Saturday is just one way we can express our grati-tude and support for those who have given so much.”

Retiring minds

Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at [email protected].

Thankful? Let’s count the ways

As you grow older, you will discover you have two hands: one for helping yourself,

the other for helping others. – Audrey Hepburn

b e l I e v e I T !Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsen-sical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Rhode Island ropes may not be strung across a highway.

Source: dumblaws.com

Commentary by Terry Anker

Even as we Americans are living longer, healthier lives well into our advanced years, the notion of retirement eludes definition more now than ever. The United Nations claims that those of us lucky enough to reside in the “more developed” world can expect lifespans well into our 80s. Under present expectations of traditional retire-ment from ages 62 to 65 years-old, we are on notice that our leisure could extend for 20 full years or more. Millions internation-ally retire even earlier.

So if we can look forward to having loads of high-quality, unencumbered time on our hands, retiring minds want to know – what will we do? Certainly, we collectively imagine a time when the routine troubles of the day are replaced with a greater focus on those things which we chose to undertake. But, is it possible to eliminate the mundane? Or, would we even want to if we could? It seems that I enjoy the routine of a morning coffee at home more now

than the diversity (and inconsistency) of a different ritual every day.

Is retirement the absence of work? Can we commit to the action of no action? Ex-perts on such matters argue that those hap-piest post-formal-career are those among us who immediately turn their attentions to other projects. Meaning, one can surmise, that something is life and nothing is death. Maybe imagined another way, we should march forward with a plan for the time after retirement that is as intentional as the time we spent in the work-a-day world. Golf, part-time work and volunteerism can serve to fill time. But satisfaction in these activities seems to come more from our objective in doing them than in the amount of time we spend pursuing. Can it be enough to pick a date without making a plan?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Prepare to be amazed, people, for I have figured out the secret to life! Or at least, the

secret to predetermining the amount of time and money you’ll be investing when you

child comes home and announces she wants to join the team.

I’ve had a great deal of time to think about this, and unfortunately, wasted too many hours wallowing in disappointment and bit-terness. But my losses will be your gain so that you will never again wander blindly into an online sign-up without fully understanding to what hell you are committing.

See, the problem lies in the type of activ-ity about which your precious little angel dreams. If he decides on soccer, basketball or football, you’re golden. These sports have seasons – easy to plan for and easy to get out of. Even when you land in the crazy world of club travel, at least you’ll know ahead of time that a game lasts two hours and that the side with the most points wins.

They key word here folks is game. A volley-ball game, a lacrosse game. Games are good. Games mean scores and time limits and referees. We like games. But have your ever heard of a dance game? Or a marching band game? No. And therein lies the key to eternal maternal happiness.

Because when you find yourself saying things like “Maddie has a dance competition this weekend” or “Andrew is going to a Tai Kwon Do tournament,” all bets are off. You’ll never understand why a stupid judge picked the barely-clothed tapper over your daughter after having spent 48 hours in the bowels of a local high school for seven total minutes of your child on stage. Or why Johnny won the sparring event even though your son clearly went Korean-medieval on the kid.

If you can’t insert the word game behind the competitive portion of your offspring’s activity, you’re doomed. Prepare to show them the money, leave most events feeling confused and frustrated, and waste whole weekends doing show hair or playing Angry Birds. Remember, “game” is good.

And, you’re welcome. Peace out.

Games are good

Weren’t we all just celebrating summer and at its myriad festivals in our commu-nity? Hasn’t the weather, for the most part, been as close to perfect this fall as we’ve seen in quite some time? How stunning is it, then, that Thanksgiving is but two days away? Where did this year go? If you’re like us, you’ve been running at in excess of 100 mph through this thing we call life. If you’re like us, you probably (and sadly) haven’t taken time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak, very often. But, ah-ha, Thanksgiving weekend is at hand, and we absolutely will take the opportunity to chill out. We hope you will, too. Here’s to some down time, the opportunity to reflect, take stock and identify that for which you are gratified. No, not in the sappy TV commercial way; we mean in the real, honest-to-goodness way. With so much strife and sadness in our world today, it’s time we realize, no matter how burdened any of us might be (and that includes you, Hillary Clinton), we still have it far better than millions of others. Be appreciative of that. And don’t forget to overeat.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

“The Button-Down Mind of Bob Ne-whart” was a comedy recording released on

vinyl back in 1960. Newhart’s shtick was to enact one side of a conversation (often on the

phone) in such a way that you could imagine what the other person might be saying on the other end. So why is this iconic come-dian (who is still performing at age 86) in my thoughts this week? All because of a passing remark by presidential candidate Jeb Bush, frustrated by conflicting advice he is getting from his consultants and advisors. “If Lincoln were running today,” jabbed Jeb, “someone would be telling him to shave off the beard.”

Sorry, Jeb, but Bob Newhart was way ahead of you on this – precisely 55 years be-fore you.

 “I was thinking,” said Newhart as he be-gins his brilliant monologue, “what if there was no Lincoln back during the Civil War, and the advertising executives had to create one?” Then, Newhart, playing a “Mad Men” ad execu-tive, chides Abe for thinking about changing his appearance: “The beard, shawl, stovepipe hat, and string tie are all part of the image,

Abe.” He asks Lincoln not to type his speeches but to write them on the backs of envelopes. “We want it to look like you wrote it while on the train.”

Then he discovers that Lincoln has been busy editing his upcoming address at Gettys-burg: “You made a few changes?” questions an exasperated Newhart (long pause while he listens to Lincoln’s response). “You say you changed four score and seven to 70? That would be like Marc Antony saying, ‘Friends, Ro-mans, Countrymen, I’ve got something I want to tell you.’” Then Newhart says to Lincoln, “Please leave it the way Charlie wrote it.”

Listening to this classic sketch on YouTube doesn’t have quite the same charm it did when I first heard it on my Victrola. But I have no way of truly comparing those two experi-ences, since I no longer have a record of it.

Ipl YUleTIde CelebraTION

By Zach Dunkin • [email protected]

There’s a long Santa’s list of things to like about the India-napolis Symphony Orchestra’s annual IPL Yuletide Celebration.

But what dancer/singer/choreographer Anne Beck cherishes the most is the

reaction she sees from the children in the audience

“I can see the joy in their eyes,” said the Fishers performer, who will be making her ninth consecutive appearance in the pro-gram. “To be an elf onstage and see them giggle … to be in a gown and see that look that kids get in their eye like when they see a Disney princess for the first time … to see and hear their giddiness when the Tap Dancing Santa’s enter the stage … that’s magic.

“To do this show for kids and their families and to see their joy is so very rewarding.”

Opening Dec. 4 and continuing through Dec. 23, “IPL Yuletide Celebration” returns to Hilbert Circle Theatre for the 30th time. Vocalist Sandi Patty is back as host and Pops Conductor Jack Everly leads the ISO. A huge cast of singers and dancers pres-ent a program that includes last year’s Disney’s “Frozen” seg-ment, including “Let it Go,” and Yuletide Jukebox, featuring a medley of pop holiday tunes such Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.”

Two longtime favorites, the reading of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” and the popular Tap Dancing Santa’s also return.

Despite the repetition of guaranteed favorites in the pro-gram, Beck says the show never gets old.

“While certain elements are repeated, the entire show, on the whole, changes so it is easy to keep things fresh,” said Beck, a fulltime professor and instructor at Ball State’s ac-claimed theater and dance department. “Being on Broadway and on national tours and doing the same show for years at a time, you learn how to keep things new fresh every night that curtain goes up.

“Then, there are always new cast members each year who

help bring the show new excitement.”In addition to dancing in the show, Beck is co-choreogra-

pher, assisting choreographer Jen Ladner with creating the movement. Once the steps are taught, she works with the cast to clean up, tighten, clarify, polish and help make the songs and dances come to life.

Beck is no stranger to the ISO, having been involved with or performed in several Pops concerts. She also has performed in several of its musicals, including “Guys and Dolls” with Hal Linden, “Hello Dolly” with Gary Beach and Sandi Patty and “Hair-spray” with John Waters and Micky Dolenz.

While spending 14 years in New York City, she performed on Broadway, with national Broadway tours and in regional the-aters across the country.

Now living in Indiana, she has appeared on the Booth Tark-ington Civic Theatre stage as Mimi in “Rent” and Cassie in “A Chorus Line,” has choreographed several shows for Civic and directed the Carmel theater’s “Cat in the Hat.” She currently is choreographing Civic’s “Mary Poppins” and, as the resident choreographer for the Indianapolis Men’s Choir, working on its

holiday show, as well.Her proudest “production” however, is her daughter, Nya,

a first grader at Lantern Road Elementary. Nya joins mom in “Yuletide Celebration,” repeating last year’s role as one of the children in the “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” scene. She takes dance at the Academy of Dance Arts in Fishers and ju-nior Civic performing arts classes at the Civic Theatre.

“I’m not sure if she will continue in my footsteps, but she definitely loves being in the show with me,” Beck said. “She blows my mind daily on her enthusiasm for life, and I thank her for being my inspiration in everything I do.”

Thanksgiving week gamesBy Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

In the words of the late and great Yogi Berra, reading this column you may think “it’s déjà vu all over again.” And since every year we seem to have pro, college and some high school games on Thanksgiving week, you may recognize we write a column about this par-ticular week every year.

This year will be no exception. This season we have a new recipe for turkey soup.

TURKEY SOUPIngredients: Turkey meat, carcass, drip-

pings, skin and non-liver giblets, seasonings for stock: one yellow onion, chopped carrots, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, celery, pepper corns, salt and pepper, 8 medium carrots with tops, onions, 6 celery stalks with tops. Seasonings for the finished soup are poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouil-lon cube., 2 garlic cloves.

Making Stock: Remove all the usable tur-key meat (dark is more flavorful) from the tur-key carcass to save it for adding to the soup. Break up the larger leftover bones of the car-cass enough so they don’t take up as much room in the pot. Put the leftover bones and skin into a large stockpot and cover with cold water by an inch. Add drippings that weren’t used to make gravy and giblets that haven’t been used. Add a yellow onion that has been quartered, 3 medium chopped carrots with tops, parsley, thyme, a bay leaf, 1 celery stalk chopped and the tops of all the celery stalks, and some peppercorns.

Bring this stock to a boil and immediately reduce heat so liquid barely simmers. Skim off any floaties as they rise to the surface of the stock. Add about 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, depending on how big your turkey is.

Cook for at least 4 hours, uncovered or par-tially uncovered, so as the stock reduces, oc-casionally skim-off any foam from the surface. Remove the bones and veggies and strain the stock through a mesh strainer.

Making the turkey soup: With stock al-ready made, add chopped carrots, onions, and celery in equal parts. Add some parsley and a couple cloves of garlic. Add seasoning – poul-try seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouillon cube. Cook at a bare simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. Take plenty of the remaining turkey meat you re-served earlier, cube it into bite sized pieces and add to the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cool this soup overnight in the fridge.

Game Day: The morning of the game, you should spoon off any fat from the top of the soup pot before heating. Now heat the soup to a simmer. Cook a large bag of soup egg noodles and add to the soup. Serve in mugs with chunks from a long baguette for dipping.

Take your leftovers and make delicious turkey soup. (Submitted photo)

Kale saladCommentary by Ceci Martinez

I love kale because it is a powerhouse! But, for a long time I struggled with recipes that my kids would not run away from! Kale sau-téed with salt/pepper, garlic and lemon has become a household favorite. Recently I was trying to graduate my boys from the sautéed kale and move them forward to the next level: kale salads! I was so thrilled when I found this delicious, colorful and tasty salad recipe that is going to make you want to go for seconds! This Thanksgiving you will be surprised to have many kale converts at your dinner table with this hearty salad. Great side for turkey.

Note: Kale is a powerful superfood! It is loaded with high amount of vitamins, miner-als, antioxidants and is anti-carcinogenic.

Serves: 5Ingredients: 2 cups peeled,

cubed butternut or other win-ter squash (you can find it at Trader’s Joe), extra-virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 bag (10 oz.) kale, stem removed and leaves finely sliced, 1/4 cup almonds or hazelnuts, cut roughly in half, 1/4 cup crumbled or finely chopped Col-lier’s Welsh Cheddar (Trader’s Joe) or parme-san, fresh lemon

Directions: Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss squash cubes in just enough oil to coat and

season with salt and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet, leaving space between the cubes. Roast them until tender and caramel-ized, about 40 minutes, tossing with a spatula every 10 minutes. Toast the nuts on a baking

sheet in the same oven until they start to smell nutty, tossing every few

minutes. Let cool. In a large mix-ing bowl, toss the kale with the almonds, cheese, and squash. Season to taste with lemon

juice about 1 tablespoon and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season to taste

with salt and pepper. Serve in a festive salad bowl.

Lemon Cream Float Get it at Biaggi’s, Carmel Ingredients: 1 oz. Hendrick’s Gin, .5 oz. PAMA Liqueur, .5 oz. Limoncello, 1.5 oz. Sours Directions: Shake and strain into Martini glass. .5 oz. Sours, 1 oz. heavy cream, Shake without ice and float on top.

Anderson returns to IWS for ‘Holiday Joys’

MUsIC

By Zach Dunkin [email protected]

At first, Jessamyn Anderson couldn’t believe it when Indiana Wind Symphony con-

ductor and director Dr. Charles Conrad offered her her first profession-

al gig. The Carmel vocalist was just a freshman studying music at Indiana University when Conrad called.

“I remember saying, ‘You mean, you want me to sing at the Palla-dium with a full wind ensemble? Is this a joke?’” the young soprano recalled.

It was no prank, and neither will be Anderson’s sixth performance with the ensemble on Dec. 5 when the IWS presents “Holiday Joys” at the Palladium. Anderson will be the featured soloist for the third time at the holiday program.

“And I hope it won’t be my last,” she said. “It is a fabulous ensemble of people who are not only wonderful musicians, but very kind and caring people. I look forward to every performance with them.”

Anderson is a 2011 Carmel High School graduate and still lives in Carmel. She graduated from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in May with a Bachelor of Music in vocal performance (classical voice).

She first performed with the IWS in its annual holiday program in 2011 and then returned last year.

“I just love Christmas music, and the season itself is a magical time of year, so the Christmas concert is always a blast,” she said. “I’m most looking forward to ‘O Holy Night,’ which is the piece I’ve sung every

time I’ve done the holiday concert.”For more on Anderson, visit www.jessa-

myanderson.com.

After renting a variety of different buildings for its location for more than three years, Ur-

ban Farmer has finally settled down.

Noah Herron, owner, recently purchased three acres of land with 3,000 square feet of office space and 2,000 square feet of retail.

“The land is another real benefit for the company, because we are going to start growing our own vegetables and selling those, mainly tomatoes and peppers but others as well,” Herron, 32, said.

Urban Farmer has the largest vegetable seed collection in Indiana, with more than 700 varieties of vegetable seeds including more than 125 varieties of tomatoes along with different vegetable seeds, herbs, flowers, veg-etable seedlings and fertilizers.

On Nov. 27, Urban Farmer will hold a grand opening at its new location, 120 E. 161st St., which will include a retail store with garden

supplies, beer brewing supplies, beekeeping supplies, canning items and more.

Just in time for the holidays, Urban Farmer will also have Christmas tree sales through December.

“We’ve been open to the public before, but haven’t had enough room to show all of our products,” Herron said.

Herron said in the spring he is also planning on offering garden classes.

“Another cool thing we are doing with our Christmas trees is for every one we sell, we are donating $5 to the Riley Children’s Hos-pital,” he said. “We will also have hot cider, holiday music and outdoor fires.”

The trees are all real and range from 5 to 10 feet. They cost anywhere between $35 and $100 and are delivered to Urban Farmer already cut.

Urban Farmer will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. During the holiday season, Urban Farmer will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

On Nov. 13, Oni Davenport was one of eight Riley Children’s Hospital Champions to pres-

ent his cancer story to 1,500 donors.

“We will be continu-ing to help Riley in their fundraising efforts for the Gift of Hope campaign,” Kim Davenport, Oni’s mother, said.

Oni, a 9-year-old who enjoys math, video games and sports, has a brain tumor. A third of it was removed in February, and now he is undergoing a year and a half of chemo to shrink the tumor. Cur-rently, the tumor is on his optic nerve, which causes a loss of sight in his right eye.

“He’s been incredibly brave throughout his journey, and we thought strongly that Riley has saved his life and is so wonderful in tak-ing care of him that we wanted to give back,” Kim said.

The Gift of Hope Happens Here campaign

Westfield Riley Champion elected

CaNCer

has been launched for its third year through Riley Children’s Hospital. Eighty percent of children with cancer are treated at Riley Chil-dren’s Hospital, and the campaign claims that

by donating, Riley physician-scientists can discover better ways to treat childhood ailments such as cancer.

“We are going to help participate with dance marathons, I know Oak Trace Elementary will help raise mon-ey with (Riley), and we are partnering with Kroger, 161st Street and Spring-mill Road, to raise money as well,”

Kim said. The Davenports’ fundraising efforts will take place throughout all of next year.

For information on how to donate to the Gift of Hope Happens Here campaign, visit www.rileykids.org.

The Davenports also have a fundraising account to help with Oni’s medical bills. To donate to the Davenports, visit gofundme.com/s3xc8rc.

Blueprint for Improvement: Cosmetic kitchen remodel on a budget

Background Info: This home is located on the north side of Zionsville. Built 23 years ago, the master bathroom needed a fresh new custom update.

The goal was to achieve a bright and airy bathroom with a spa-like feel.

1. A large custom shower with a glass enclosure allowed the room to remain bright and spacious.

2. The separate toilet room was eliminat-ed making the room feel significantly larger.

3. The tub deck and countertops were replaced with durable and low mainte-nance quartz.

4. White cabinetry with chrome fixtures helped contribute to the spa feel de-sired by the homeowners.

5. Stacked cabinetry and a drawer stack provided additional storage at the vanities.

6. Bright paint and new custom lighting contributed to the transitional style and overall feel of the space.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may e-mail him at [email protected]. To see more before and after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

afTer sOlUTIONs:

befOre prObleMs:

The outdated bathroom was dark and overall very cramped for space. The oversized green cultured marble soaking tub was too large for the space and made the small room feel even smaller. The faucet leaked and did not function properly. The large window was underutilized because of its inconvenient location.

Commentary by Don Knebel

The picturesque towns of Bodega and Bodega Bay, along the Pacific Coast Highway

about 70 miles north of San Fran-cisco, are famous as the location of “The Birds,” Alfred Hitchcock’s

1963 horror movie. Visitors coming to photo-graph the movie’s featured Potter School often overlook a nearby expression of gratitude fol-lowing a different kind of horror.

In 1994, the Green family from Bodega Bay was vacationing in southern Italy. Two armed robbers attacked the family car, shooting 7-year-old Nicholas in the head. When Nicholas died two days later, his parents donated his heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas and cornea, benefiting seven Italians. Because Italians at the time were not organ donors, this act of generosity caught the attention of the Italian press and soon led to a dramatic increase in organ donations in Italy, a result attributed to the “Nicholas effect.”

The Italian public was so touched by the Greens’ act of kindness in the face of griev-

Bodega Bay’s Thanksgiving Bellsous loss that families, individuals, schools and churches began sending bells to the family as expressions of gratitude. A large bell was sent by the Marinelli Foundry in Agnone, Italy, which has been making bells for the Pope for more than 1,000 years and is one of the three oldest family businesses in the world. The bell, blessed by Pope John Paul II, includes the names of the recipients of Nicholas’ organs.

San Francisco sculpture Bruce Hasson as-sembled the 140 bells onto a wooden frame along Highway 1 just north of Bodega Bay. Called “The Children’s Bell Tower,” the memorial honors Nicholas Green and all the children of the world whose lives have been cut short by violence. It also gives thanks to the generosity of the Green family, who recognized that the tragic death of their son could give others a chance for a better life.
