The Westfield City Council met Jan. 11 for the first council meeting of the year, but before the
meeting started, all members were sworn in, including two new councilors, Mark Keen
(District 1) and Joe Edwards (District 3). After all councilors, the mayor and clerk-
treasurer were sworn in to their city positions, councilmen Rob Stokes and Bob Smith were rec-ognized for their service, as 2015 was their last year on the council. President Chuck Lehman presented both men with plaques in apprecia-tion of their service to the city.
“I’ve had a number of people ask me why I did not re-up this time, but there’s no one specific reason why I didn’t. It’s been a great ride, and I encourage everybody to stay involved in the city aspects in any way they can,” Stokes said. “I thank everyone, I thank the citizens and every-one on the staff and the city, and I can’t speak
highly enough of it.”“It’s been a great job,” Smith added. Stokes served eight years on the Westfield
City Council, and Smith was a firefighter for Westfield beginning in 1979 and became a mem-ber of the council in 2004.
Lehman was re-elected as council president, and Jim Ake was re-elected as council vice pres-ident. Before the meeting began, Mayor Andy Cook shared a few words on the progress of the city and where he hopes to take it throughout his next term.
“I want to highlight where we’ve been in the last eight years and where we will go in the next four years. We are really making a place here in Westfield that attracts families, a place where we have a Grand Park and Grand Junc-tion,” he said. “What I would really like to empha-size is the process on how we have achieved all of these things, and it really involves the open-ness and the transparency of the public working with our staff and working with our council.”
Cook credited the accomplishments of West-field over the years to the various groups coor-dinated by the city and the public, such as the Grand Junction Task Force.
“It goes back to these groups we’ve seen formed, and I would say we have more public involved in our process and our decisions than any other city in Indiana, and I think that’s a safe statement,” Cook said.
Multiple members of the city council claim their proudest accomplishment was Grand Park and that their biggest goal is Grand Junction.
“We need to continue to grow the commercial aspect of our community, and that is happening with the completion of the U.S. 31 project which gives us economic opportunities in our corridor, and that is vital for us to continue success for community,” Ake said. “Along with the commer-cial development, I hope to establish the Grand Junction Plaza and to continue to develop down-town as a destination point.”

After receiving positive feedback from the inaugural year of the Melt the Trail 5K run and
walk held in February of last year, the second year of the winter race will be held Feb. 6 at Grand
Park. Westfield Parks and Rec Community Event
Manager Emily Clark said although the race is returning, there will be a handful of changes.
“The route is different. We updated it because it’s a little more of a scenic route around a body of water and over a quaint bridge and things like that for different scen-ery,” Clark said. “Secondly, we took it to a dif-ferent side of Grand Park because there was a lot of wind on the soccer side last year, so we are looking forward to a little more protection for the runners, too.”
An indoor conference room near the finish line will be available for family and friends of the participants who would like to watch their loved ones compete but who do not wish to stand out in the cold.
There will be prizes available for the top finishers in different categories. For those wishing to add a little flair to their outfit, Clark said there is a costume contest with a Valen-tine’s Day theme.
“Last year we saw people come out with red tutus on top of their running gear, red heart shirts on, and moms can decorate their jogging stroller and be a part of competition as well and matching costumes with family
Noah Herron spent his college years at Indiana University and left with more than a
degree in biochemis-try. He also left with experience of donat-
ing to Riley Hospital and a desire to keep doing so.
Herron, the owner of Urban Farmer, sold Christmas trees at the new loca-tion, 120 E. 161st St, from Nov. 27 to Dec. 23 and donated $5 from each tree to Riley Hospital.
“Riley is probably the main charity that IU does a bunch of different things for, and being involved with that made me want to keep on donating to Riley,” Herron said. “It’s the main charity I want to donate to.”
Herron presented Riley Hospital with a $525 check on Dec. 31.
“We are definitely going to give to Riley ev-
ery year for Christmas tree sales,” Herron said. “With good charities that help children and do things you really believe in, I think it’s impor-tant to give back to the community.”
Although he doesn’t have any other fundraisers planned, Herron said he may do a late summer or fall fundrais-er with tomatoes, as Urban Farmer has more than 60 different types of tomato plants.
During his years at IU, Herron participated in the Dance Marathon fundraiser for Riley Hospital once, and
other years went to raise money for the cause in Bloomington and Broad Ripple.
Herron said currently he doesn’t have any other ideas on charities to donate, and he en-joys the connection he has with Riley Hospital.
“It’s like going back to college,” the 2002 graduate joked.

and couples,” she said. One of the reasons the event is held in
the midst of winter is to highlight that Grand Park’s 10 miles of trails are cleaned and salted to remain open during the winter season.
A face painter will be available at the race for those who want to paint up in a Valen-tine’s Day fashion.

Ministry raises money for school
Freeze-thaw cycle takes toll
Wisdom and Grace is raising funds to build a new school that is large enough to serve 1,000 students. (Submitted rendering)
A chance meeting during a family trip to Florida changed Quinn Shepherd’s life, and
he’s hoping it will do the same for hundreds of chil-dren living in poverty.
Shepherd is the co-founder of Wisdom & Grace Ministries, a Carmel-based, not-for-profit organization working to build a new school large enough for 1,000 students in Santo Tomás Milpas Altas, Guatemala. Justin Steill, of Westfield, is also a co-founder.
The inspiration to help students in another country was sparked when Shepherd met Rudi Pineda. Pineda, from Guatemala, was the guest of a family friend who was a missionary to the Central American country.
Pineda founded his school, Colegio Cristiano Saber y Gracia (Wisdom & Grace Christian School), in 1986. He had just finished his edu-cation and felt compelled to teach and decided to build his own school, brick by brick, farming the land to make ends meet, Shepherd said.
After hearing about Pineda’s efforts to end the cycle of poverty in Guatemala, Shepherd decided to see it with his own eyes. A small group of his acquaintances accompanied him on the trip to the impoverished, third-world country in 2013. Another group is planning a trip at the end of January.
Winter weather not only makes roads slick and sometimes dangerous to drive on
with snow and ice, but the cold air also leads to another road issue
– potholes. Some may be thrilled with the
slightly warmer weather after the snowfall Jan. 12, but the Indiana Dept. of Transportation recently issued a release on how warmer weather is a prime condition to form potholes.
One of the conditions of a pothole forming is the freeze-thaw cycle central Indiana has recently been experiencing.
“Cracks develop in pavement from ag-ing, traffic wear and winter freeze-thaw cycles. Potholes begin when water seeps into these cracks and freezes, expanding the layers of pavement, stone and soil. As the ice melts and contracts, heavy highway traffic further loosens the pavement, forming pot-holes,” a press release from INDOT stated.
City of Westfield officials said there is not necessarily anything street employees can do to prevent the potholes, but urged residents to use WeConnect as a way of keeping vigi-
lant in regards to roads. “There isn’t anything we can do to
prevent potholes this time or year. During warmer months we perform crack sealing. Crack sealing is one of the best preventative maintenances that can be done to maintain road-ways,” said Travis Stetnish, street superintendent for the city. “Crack
sealing prevents water from infiltrating the asphalt. When water infiltrates asphalt and freezes, a pothole is formed. (Last week) a pot-hole was reported through WeConnect, which is the city’s online system residents can use to report on issues like potholes. We repaired it with cold patch, which is the only option when asphalt plants are not running asphalt.”
WeConnect can be found on the city web-site, www.westfield.in.gov, or through the city app, available through Apple and Android app stores.
saw what this man, Rudi, was doing. We felt with the people we know, and our small group at church, we could really help them out,” Steill said.
Once they saw Pineda’s school firsthand, Wisdom & Grace Ministries was born. Its goal was to raise $5,000 and to sponsor three students. They ended up raising $50,000 and sponsoring 100 students.
Now the group is looking to take the next step and raise $1.5 million to fund a school building that can fit 1,000 students. The cur-rent building is large enough for 350 students.
“All it takes is doing a little on the side, and you can help impact a lot of different people,” Steill said.

Why did you become a teach-er? I grew up in a family of educa-tors. Their love for teaching was contagious. Starting at the age of 7, I helped my mom with her summer school program. She worked with young adults with severe disabilities. My mom inspired me because she did whatever it took to promote indi-vidual growth and success. She was fun, unique and her students’ big-gest advocate. There was no doubt I wanted to teach from a young age.
What goals do you have for your students? My goal is to teach self-advocacy, perseverance and compassion. I want each student to know his or her strengths and
passions and not be afraid to explore them. Imagine each child with a toolbox. I want to fill their boxes with a variety of tools they can access along their learning journey and beyond into adulthood.
What do you encourage par-ents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Create opportunities for au-thentic learning outside the school setting. Connecting learning to life experiences is powerful! Challenge your children to think creatively, problem solve and take positive risks with their learning. Invest time in talking to your children about their day, personal goals and their reading interests.

In Indiana, courts divide a divorcing parties’ property in a manner which is deemed to be fair and reasonable. 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 �fty-�fty (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 �fty percent of the marital estate. What is Marital Property? It is important for parties to understand what is considered marital property as many people believe certain assets or accounts remain separate from the estate. This is incorrect per the current case law. Absent a prenuptial agreement, excluding certain property from becoming part of the marital estate, Indiana law presumes that all assets and debt brought into or acquired during the marriage is marital property and is subject to division by the Court. With that starting point, careful review of the facts and understanding of the law can allow for a persuasive argument that certain property or liabilities should be allotted to one party in the division of the estate as a
deviation. Such a determination is very contextual and seeking legal advice is recommended to determine if such a request is supported by the facts of a given case. Each case is unique and the decision to order an unequal division of property is left to the discretion of the Court. Further, it is important to note that property which is acquired after the date of the �ling of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage may be considered property which is separate from the marital estate; however, this is not always true, so, again, proper evaluation of the marital estate is crucial to understand options and maximize results.Agreed division of the marital estate requires the work of the parties and counsel to reach equitable results. A preferable option to arguing division before the court is to come to terms via negotiation and/or mediation on a settlement that re�ects the nature of the marital estate, the needs of the parties, and allows for a result that has bene�ts for both sides. In addition, this analysis best incorporates advice from �nancial planners to determine a division which will have the fewest tax consequences or negative implications on the estate.

Julie Glenn, a sixth-grade teacher at West-field Intermediate School, was nominated as Market District’s December Teacher of the Month. Ellie Kimpel, a student in Glenn’s class nominated her. The next deadline for Market District’s Teacher of the Month is Feb. 15. Please send 100-word essays nominating a teacher to [email protected]. Ellie’s winning essay is below:
When most kids go to school each day, the only things they look forward to is lunch and recess. Well, I think otherwise. When I walk
into school each day, the one thing I look for-ward to is the warm welcoming of my sixth-grade teacher, Ms. Glenn. I love Ms. Glenn because she makes school seem like my second home. She always explains how our class is like one big family and that we need to stand up for each other. Whenever we are learning an academic skill, she always tells us how that skill will help us in real life. The way she teaches us affects not only our mind, but our hearts. To me, that is what be-ing a teacher is all about. Please consider Ms. Glenn as a winner of this contest.

Local clinic works to provide free healthcare to uninsured patients
One little building in Westfield is aiming to make a difference.
Heart & Soul, a clinic on 202 Penn St., provides free healthcare to those who are uninsured or underinsured with only
catastrophic-coverage policies. With flu season in full swing, those who cannot afford
healthcare do not see a physician when they should. Heart & Soul Executive Director Heather Brownell wants to get the word out so those that are sick and need care know where to go.
“We function much like an urgent care facility. We are not here to be primary doctors,” Brownell said. “Our goal is to be here for when you have strep throat, an ear infection or the flu.”
Brownell said the clinic also sees those with chronic is-sues, such as high blood pressure, Type II Diabetes and cho-lesterol issues. Brownell said the clinic has an agreement with Westfield Pharmacy, which is within walking distance, to provide the clinic with discounted prescriptions. The clinic then gives the prescriptions to the patients at no cost.
Originally, the clinic was only open every second and fourth Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to noon. Yet they heard from the community that there was a need for an evening clinic. The clinic opened for Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. starting Jan. 6.
In addition to its increased hours, Heart & Soul is working on constructing a dental clinic at the same location to help provide the uninsured commu-nity with free dental care. It is expected to open April 1, and will be open every first Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to noon.
Heart & Soul not only provides prescriptions, but labs as well. Often times, Brownell said they will send patients over to Any Lab Test Now, owned by
City Council President Chuck Lehman, for lab tests. Sometimes, a patient comes in and needs a procedure that
the nonprofit cannot afford to provide for free. The clinic has multiple connections within the pharmacy and physician world that provide discounted or free services, and they often refer patients to those partners.
The faith-based clinic has a connection with Lifepointe Church in Westfield, which offers mental health counseling free of charge to those who need it.
“Mental health is a big need, and a lot of time insurance won’t cover that,” Brownell said, mentioning that one of the clinic’s referral sources is a licensed mental health physician.
Barbara Haehner, M.D., is a provider and the medical director of Heart & Soul along with Anne Willet, Nurse Practitioner and board president.
“Mental healthcare services and dental services are a great need of the community,” Haehner said. “Although health-
care is our main wheelhouse, we are adding these other (services) to supplement and better serve the community.”
Brownell said she has come upon some patients who are not U.S. citizens and who can’t get health-
care elsewhere. “I had an individual who did not have insur-
ance because they were not a United States citizen, but they had a severe issue with their kidney and needed surgery,” she said. “By working with (our resources) we were able to get them the care they needed.”
In 2014, the clinic saw 203 patients. Brownell said that especially with the dental
clinic opening, she is expecting to see even more patients in 2016.
Heart & Soul relies on grants and dona-tions to provide free healthcare to those in need.
In March, the clinic will offer echocardiog-raphy screenings for a low price of $25, when the heart ultrasound normally costs $150.
For more, visit www.heartandsoulclinic.org.
Recently, the Heart & Soul Clinic received a $12,000 grant from the Legacy Fund, which is a part of the Community Foundation of Indianapolis and serves Hamilton Co. The Legacy Fund aims to help charitable businesses and organizations. Brownell and Haehner said the money will go towards absorbing lab test and prescription costs, the possible purchase of a second laptop for networking, and possibly adding another day of service to the clinic.

Commentary by Terry Anker
There was a time, not that long ago, that every young person imagined that they might become President of the United States. Well, to be fair, many of those same kids hoped that if they ate their spinach that they might become Popeye. Nevertheless, we were taught from the earliest school days to aspire to the vaunted and esteemed office.
Sure, a few struggled to conceive of themselves breaking free from their own real or constructed limitations. But gener-ally, it was a time of great expectations. Decades later, one wonders if my kindly, nonetheless quite elderly first grade teach-er, Mrs. Nichols, honestly expected one of her class of mostly poor farm kids to make the jump to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Yet, she made us believe not only that we could but that we should.
Today, we are more, as some might argue, evolved. We’re highly cynical – less wide-eyed in our optimism. However, some continue to promote a message of aspira-tion. Our best years remain ahead of us!
The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is now accepting applications for the Future Presidents of America Youth Leadership Camp in late June. Touted as “a fun and in-novative one-week summer camp for smart, engaged young adults (12-16) that builds individual confidence, civic literacy and good citizenship,” it interactively tells the story of a local boy who made good but also inspires its attendees to imagine how they might make the journey to the White House.
In these months of name calling and as-suredly sophomoric behavior from our politi-cal elites, one can fully understand why no good parent would encourage their sweet progeny to seek a role in the sausage fac-tory. But, can we imagine a world without a willing and participatory democracy? Any student of history will exclaim – yes, we can imagine and it isn’t pretty.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
I’m annoyed, but maybe you can have a good laugh. My husband Doo came down
earlier than usual this morn-ing, turned on all the lights and sat at the kitchen counter to
go through bills. He even tried talking to me. What’s going on? Doesn’t he understand I have a routine, a ritual? A 45-minute plan that includes 90 percent darkness and 100 percent silence? That to have the day thrust upon me at 6:30 a.m., when I haven’t even had coffee, is grounds for stink eye and possibly a full-on conniption?
Clearly he does not. When I asked him to return the room to peaceful blackness he said, “Are you kidding me?” and then proceeded to tear open an envelope. In a huff, I packed up and left. At least I could reach my quiet class-room with a few minutes to spare before being bombarded by hundreds of teenagers and oddly, a toilet bowl cleaner. (Is someone sending me a message? “Swim with the turds, Wilson!”)
Last night, we had a similar “incident.” I’d already turned back into a pumpkin and was literally trying to sleep (eyes closed, blanket tucked), but Doo was in the midst of a fashion show. (Yes, a fashion show. He wanted to pa-rade his new clothes for my approval.) His stuff was strewn all over the room, including the bed, and he kept walking in and out of the bathroom. “How do these jeans look?” “Does this shirt wash me out?” I admit to enjoying his produc-tion, but seriously, I just wanted to sleep.
I expressed my fatigue and begged him to call it quits, but I came off sounding naggy, even to myself. Bottom line, my husband’s a classic extravert and wants noise and light and stimulus at every hour, while I require the opposite. And there’s nothing I can do except vent to you about our marital trials, however banal.
So here we are, back to my annoyance over my beautifully-crafted morning and evening routines being fire-bombed by a handsome bald-guy in a new sweater-vest. It’s okay. Go ahead and chuckle.
Peace out.

There always are scams in our midst, engineered by (a) greedy people with far too much time on their hands that believe they are more sophisticated than they actually might be, (b) outright criminals or (c) both of the aforementioned. Too often they succeed, frequently with older, un-suspecting adults. They love calling land-lines, but now they’re branching out to cell lines. And so it has gone the last month or so with one such attempted swindle that failed miserably – if you discount the fact that it elicited fear, anger and utter outrage from some targets we know. It went like this, and we assume it’s still go-ing like this: Someone calls and says there was a warrant for one’s arrest and that a lawsuit was being prepared by the Inter-nal Revenue Service (we have to believe for “unpaid taxes.” The IRS itself would contact you and, we assume, would be far more professional.). This is tantamount to proffering the Brooklyn Bridge or “land” in south-central Florida for sale. In some cases, it’s an automated dialing system instructing the theoretical defendant to call back. Someone we know did that; she called back and played along. She told the cretin on the other end of the line that she would meet the caller at his office to rectify the situation, whereupon the guy disconnected. The fact is, folks, there was no office. These creeps are tech savvy, to be sure, but they need to find another line of work … if you can call it that.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
I was looking for a magazine to take on the plane to pass the time on our two-hour flight
to Houston. I chose a publication called “Archaeology,” intrigued by the cover that proclaimed
“The Top Archeological Discoveries in 2015.” I figured if any magazine could dig up some cool stuff this would be the one.
The first story is about hikers in South Africa who called the local police, reporting they had found some “transitional hominid remains.” I think it is a good bet they simply called and said, “Hey, we found some dead guy,” but the magazine needed to class things up a bit for their brainy readership.
In Kenya, a research team claims to have unearthed tools dating back to the dawn of man. Most of the implements were large rocks fashioned into hammering devices, as well as a few arrowheads. However, scientists were baffled by the Phillips-head screwdriver they found, because it predates the Phillips-head screw by about three million years.
Archeologist Silvia Windauer claims to have uncovered the world’s oldest pretzel, originally baked about 400 years ago. “It was rock hard,
tasteless and inedible,” said the professor, which is pretty much what you also say about a four-day-old pretzel. Wait: did she really taste it? By the way, the scientists also found the remains of dozens of discarded, uneaten rolls in what looked like an ancient trash bin, speculating the baker simply overestimated what he needed that day and chucked the extra. Legend has it that the chef later mi-grated to Italy where he invented the idea of unlimited breadsticks.
What was the first musical instrument? No one is really sure, but apparently something that sounded like a kazoo was once uncov-ered in some ruins in Portugal. The item was next to a Neanderthal man, but his body was isolated some 50 miles from the rest of his tribe. Scientists are not sure why this man was left alone to die. I have a pretty good idea.

Actress Stark is back in the habit in ‘Sister Act’ at Beef & Boards
•When: Feb. 11 through March 26•Where: Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, 9301 Michigan Road,
Indianapolis• Tickets: $41-$66, including dinner, 872-9664, www.
She flew through the air and refused to grow up in “Peter Pan,” did what comes natur’lly in “Annie Get your Gun” and
looked “swell” in “Hello, Dolly.”Now, after sharing a few of her “favorite
things” with Maria as Mother Abbess in “The Sound of Music,” longtime Beef & Boards favorite Suzanne Stark slips on the nun’s habit again as Mother Superior in “Sis-ter Act,” Feb. 11 through March 26 at the northwest Indy dinner theater.
“I enjoy playing a nun partly because we know what her religious position is and, therefore, I can make deliberate act-ing choices based on that,” said Stark, a former 20-year Carmel resident who now resides on Indy’s north side. “I loved playing Mother Abbess, but making Mother Superior multi-dimensional will be the challenge, especially given the short amount of time she will be in front of the audience and what her ‘role’ is in the moving the story along.
“Right now I am not clear yet ‘who’ Mother Superior is, espe-cially since this is the first time I’ve played this role. However, the script is definitely giving me clues. At the outset, I think I can say she is more a bit more rigid than the Mother Abbess. Is it possible that Mother Superior will learn just as much as Deloris does in the course of the show? I think we can count on it.”
The “Deloris” Stark is referring to is Deloris Van Cartier, a ’60s disco diva in a witness protection program at a convent in the St. Katherine’s Parish. As a witness to a murder by her mobster boyfriend, her life is in danger. Despite her and Mother Superior’s objections, she “becomes” a nun – habit and all – and is given the name Sister Mary Clarence. Using her song and dance talents, Deloris inspires a choir of nuns to create new energy in the church and community.
Nominated for five Tony Awards including Best Musical, the stage production was inspired by 1992 film of the same name,
starring Whoopi Goldberg as Sister Mary Clarence and two-time Oscar winner Maggie Smith as Mother Superior.
“I adore Maggie Smith,” said Stark of the British actress, who, at age 81, is one of the stars of television’s “Downton Abbey,” “I think she is brilliant, and there is no one like her. I keep thinking of her as I work through the script even though the stage musical is different from the movie. If I could only do what she does … alas, no one can.”
This is the first time “Sister Act” is being done at Beef &
Boards. Director Doug Stark, who also has a small role in the show as the Monsignor, says the show tran-scends to the stage very well.
“Some of the people who know only the movie will be very pleased with how this looks on stage,” said Doug, Suzanne’s former husband. “The flavor is exactly the same, and the characters are very close to the same.”
However, the stage production uses music differently than the movie did. Songs in the movie don’t replace dialogue the way they do in the stage musical where the numbers move the plot along. Some of the songs are used to illustrate character purpose, struggle or thought process and often result in action or are the action itself. The joyous, movie-ending “I Will Follow Him” isn’t in the stage version, but Doug said there are some very high octane numbers that will replace it.”
Heading the cast of nuns and playing Sis-ter Mary Clarence is Zuri Washington, who stood out among the 200 Doug auditioned in New York. Washington recently starred in the national tour of “Memphis, the Musical” as Felicia. Other credits include “Bring It On: The Musical,” “Rent,” “M33” and Jim Steinman’s “Bat Out of Hell.”
“This young lady just knocked my socks off,” Doug said. “She’s just part of a great group of nuns who are going to rock the house and bring the walls down.”

At 74, Vikki Carr has an easy explanation to why she continues to perform.
“I love to sing,” she said. “Why would you not continue doing what you love? Not only that, but I was born to sing. God gives every
single one of us a very special gift. It’s up to each one of us to figure out what that gift is.”
Carr will share her gift with a Palladium audience in Carmel at 8 p.m. Jan. 30. Carr promises it will be a trip down memory lane filled with the memories of all the legendary performers she has known. Carr sang for the Queen of England and five U.S. presidents.
“It’s kind of sharing who I am and who I have been in this short, overnight success of 57 years,” she said. “It’s going to be a show that deals with love, memories, peo-ple that I’ve known in my career that have been helpful in one way or another and who I respected and admired like Nat King Cole, (Frank) Sinatra and Elvis (Presley). With the situation the way it is the world, music has the op-portunity to lift people’s spirits. In my shows, I try to have the people feel a little better when they leave than when they came in.”
Carr, whose given name is Florencia Bisenta de Casil-las Martinez Cardona, will sprinkle anecdotes such as the time she sang at an event during a Bing Crosby golf tournament event.
“Sinatra wasn’t paying attention to anything until I sang
‘Tea for Two,’ and I did it as a slow ballad, and I sang it in Spanish,” Carr said. “All of sudden he started lifting up his head to look up, and he listened. Dean Martin came back stage and said, ‘It’s so nice to see a nice Italian girl make it in the business.’ I said ‘I’m Mexican-American.’ He said, ‘Oh, you’re still Latin. It’s OK, you’re Italian.’”
As she has throughout her career, Carr will sing some songs in Spanish.
“Even though I was nominated for a Grammy for ‘It Must be Him’ and ‘With Pen in Hand,’ I never won for songs in English,” Carr said. “Not until I recorded in Span-ish did I win three Grammys and a lifetime achievement Grammy.”
Carr said it was her anglo fans in the United States who encouraged her to do an album all in Spanish. Carr used to explain her Spanish songs but soon realized the audience didn’t need an explanation.
“I realized then that music is the universal language,” she said.
Carr, who lives in San Antonio, has a new management group and is trying to get more tour dates set up. She will perform in San Antonio on Feb. 20 and is trying to get dates in Australia and England, where she a great suc-cess early in her career.
“Hopefully with success in Indiana, other performing arts centers will see that we’ve done well,” she said. “Management says we have to be selling out these ven-ues so people can see Vikki Carr is still relevant.”

Commentary by Zach Dunkin
Remember how you disliked history classes because they were all about the past, and you
thought it was boring? Well, what if you threw in a
few beer tastings to the mix?
That’s what the Hamilton Co. Bicentennial Brews Tour is all about. Every Sunday afternoon through May 22, one can ride the BrewsLine bus to visit local breweries and sample beers with historical ties.
“Hamilton County has long history with brewed and distilled beverages,” said Darryl Sopoci, owner of the BrewsLine, a Fishers-based beer tour operator. “The first known brewery in the county was around 1865. While we’re on the bus, I’ll talk a little bit about the history of the brewery, then the owners will share the back stories behind their beers and about how they are tying their beer to history.”
For example, Grand Junction Brewing Com-pany’s Squirrel Stampede Nut Brown Ale was named for the fleet of migratory squirrels that destroyed crops across the county in the 1800s. In addition to toasting Indiana’s 200th birthday at Westfield’s Grand Junction, partici-pants can raise a glass at Deer Creek Brewery in Noblesville, Deviate Brewing in Carmel and Hollow Brewing Company and Sun King Fish-ers Tap Room in Fishers.
Cost is $40, and the tour lasts from 12:30 to approximately 4:30 p.m.. Make reservations at visithamiltoncounty.com/2016/. There are pick-up spots in Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers,
or if a group books 10 people, the bus will pick the group up at a
designated residence. Bus capacity is 12 people.
“At each brewery, they are going to
get anywhere from three to five samples, including a sample of a specially se-lected bicen-tennial beer,” Sopoci said.
“Then, they can order more beer
or food or they can order carryout
in terms of a growler.”Riders also can legally
drink beer on the bus be-cause BrewsLine is classified as a
limo service. Coolers will be provided.

Soups are not only good for your body and soul! They are easy, inexpensive, a great way to get more vegetables into your diet, low in calories and travel well in a thermos.
Note: Use leafy greens such as kale and spinach to add a more nutritious value to your soup. Add them towards the end of cooking time so they maintain their brightness. Cut vegetables to equal size so pieces will cook all at the same time.

Commentary by Jim Litten
The year finished on a high note, with 2015 showing an 8 percent increase in pended home
sales over 2014 in the nine-county central Indi-ana region. It was a strong
year for sellers, as sale prices increased each month while available homes decreased during 11 months in 2015 when compared to 2014. De-cember 2015 also saw growth in pended sales and average sales prices by 0.6 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively.
Hamilton County’s inventory declined 8.1 percent while the average year-to-date sales price for homes in the county climbed 3.9 per-cent to $278,163.
• In Westfield, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 9.1 percent compared to this time last year, rising to $294,077.
• Inventory moved at a slower pace in Westfield in December 2015. Overall, homes sold in 78 days – nine more days than this time last year.
• Buyers in Westfield had more options available to them. Last month, 212 homes were available for sale – 38 more homes compared to December 2014.
• Pended home sales increased in West-field. In December 2015, 56 homes sold – 17 more homes compared to December 2014.
• Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 14 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 22 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 11 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; seven were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less.
2015 was marked by modest growth, but the nine-county central Indiana region has performed as well as and, in some respects, better than the national trends in home sales. We expect 2016 to emulate last year, as inter-est rates and affordability affect the industry. However, we’re optimistic that homeownership is still appealing to the majority of millenni-als, as reported by the National Association of Realtors, which indicates 94 percent of current renters younger than 35 want to buy a home.
Home sales up 8 percentdough

Commentary by Charlie Miraglia, MD, President and CEO, Indiana Blood Center
Another successful year wrapped up our Bleed Blue Blood Drive and the Donor Center Days that followed. It was my privi-
lege to cheer on our 350 employees in all our loca-tions and the 3,091 Hoo-
siers who raised their sleeves to give back for one purpose: to give blood and to give life.
As a nonprofit community service organiza-tion, we succeed only through widespread community support and the lifesaving net-works across the state. This wonderful Hoo-sier spirit of volunteerism and service has a direct impact on the hospitals we serve.
When a hospital calls in the middle of the night to request blood and platelets due to a traumatic accident, Indiana Blood Center is ready to respond thanks to the support of our dedi-cated donors. And we can respond quickly because we are here locally in your community when and where you need us most.
When a rare blood type or complex blood product is required to treat a patient, like those cared for by Riley Hospital for Chil-dren at IU Health, Indiana Blood Center is at the ready. From cancer patients of all ages to life-threatening traumas, Indiana Blood Center is here to help physicians save lives – anyone, any-where, any time.
Please give back, give blood and give life – through Indiana Blood Center.

The word of the year is Commentary by Jordan Fischer
Western society has either begun its transcendence into a new digital age, or its
descent into madness. I can’t tell. Either way, in 1,000 years linguists
will look back to now and identify 2015’s “Word of the Year” as the harbinger of what was to come.
Proving, perhaps, that a picture really is worth a thousand words, Oxford Dictionaries has chosen for the first time ever a picto-graph as “Word of the Year.” Those are their words, and they gussy things up a bit. What they chose was an emoji – specifically the laughing-so-hard-I’m-crying “Face with Tears of Joy” emoji. (Refer to the nearest 14-year-old if you’re unfamiliar.)
According to Oxford Dictionaries and mobile technology business SwiftKey, the “Face with Tears of Joy” emoji made up 20 percent of all the emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the U.S. They note it’s also seen heavy use from celebrities and brands and made an appearance on the Vine that kicked off the “on fleek” meme … which I just hate.
Here’s Oxford’s reasoning in their own words:
“Emojis are no longer the preserve of texting teens – instead, they have been em-braced as a nuanced form of expression, and one which can cross language barriers. Even Hillary Clinton solicited feedback in the form of emojis, and (Face with Tears of Joy) has had notable use from celebrities and brands alongside everyone else – and even appeared as the caption to the Vine which apparently kicked off the popularity of the term ‘on fleek,’ which appears on our WOTY shortlist.”
Before you lose all hope, the American Dialect Society chose singular “they” as their word of the year. That’s an excellent choice, and one that deserves (and will get) its own column. For my two cents, the word of the year, at least for Indiana, was “impinge” – as used, likely more than ever prior in the history of the word, by Gov. Mike Pence during the RFRA debate.
Are you OK with an emoji being the “Word of the Year?” Do you think there was a better choice? Let me know.

Ruins of Pella, overlooking Jordan River Valley. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Pella and the end of timeCommentary by Don Knebel
Pella, Jordan, is one of the oldest urban settlements in the world. Its history is linked
with a prophecy of Jesus that figures into speculation about the end of time.
About 10,000 years ago, Stone Age farmers established a permanent village in the fertile lands in the eastern foothills of the Jordan Riv-er Valley. By 1800 B.C., the village had become a city called “Pihilum,” featuring an important Canaanite temple. The Greeks captured Pihilum in the third century B.C. and renamed it “Pella,” honoring the birthplace of Alexander the Great. When the Romans captured the area in 63 B.C., they made Pella one of the 10 self-governing cities of the Decapolis, adding the temples, theaters, baths and colonnaded streets typical of major Roman cities.
In 70 A.D., four Roman legions sent to Je-rusalem to put down the First Jewish Revolt entered the city after an extended siege, killed up to a million residents and demolished the Second Temple. In the fourth century, Euse-bius and other historians reported. Christian
inhabitants of Jerusalem had been warned of the impending devastation by a “revelation” and escaped to Pella, about 50 miles north-east. Many scholars associate this account with the statements of Jesus, reported in the “Gospel of Luke,” predicting the destruction of the temple and warning his followers to “flee to the mountains” when they see “Jerusalem being surrounded by armies.” Despite the first century context of Jesus’ statements, some believe they presage events at the end of time and await their own cues to flee to the mountains.
Pella was destroyed by an earthquake in 749 and its history largely forgotten. But the story of the early Christians’ flight to Pella was remembered by 800 freedom-seeking Dutch immigrants who settled in southern Iowa in 1847 and named their new town after that ancient refuge.
