Like the recent Spider-Man re-boot, remaking a cheesy 1980s TV show about an over-the-hill spy who helps everyday people doesn’t seem like a very intui-tive move. But Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua, who previously teamed up successfully on “Training Day,” manage to create an engaging story and character that uses the show as a mere jumping-off point.

DISPATCHESAchievement – Westfield’s community theatre, Main Street Productions, received a 2014 Mitty Award for Most Impressive Set Design from blogger Ken Klingenmeier. Of the 26 shows that Klingenmeier reviewed this past year, he wrote “Danny Russel’s im-pressive two-story interior set design for ‘God’s Favor-ite’ at Main Street Produc-tions in Westfield was an ambitious undertaking. The playwright (Neil Simon) puts a lot of importance on the need for this show’s set to deteriorate substan-tially from act to act and Russel’s design in deconstructive quality was impressive. Master carpenter John Sampson’s stagecraft is also to be applauded.”

Closed – City offices will be closed New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

The commute – Another major piece of The New U.S. 31 Hamilton County freeway was completed Dec. 18 – ahead of schedule – as a new flyover ramp opened from southbound U.S. 31 to eastbound I-465. The flyover will replace the existing loop ramp at the southwest side of the interchange and provides a safer, more efficient flow of traffic between the two high-ways. Motorists on southbound U.S. 31 des-tined for eastbound I-465 will exit just south of 103rd Street and travel on two new bridges over I-465 and Meridian Street before merging onto eastbound I-465.

ICC focused on seven priorities

CHAMBEr

By Mark Robinson • [email protected]

Area business leaders received a preview of po-tential hot topics during the upcoming 2015 Indiana

Legislature session when Kevin Brinegar, president and CEO of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce,

spoke at Oak Hill Mansion in Carmel.Chamber of commerce members from throughout

Hamilton County attended the Dec. 12 breakfast, as did Donna Schaibley, recently named to replace Steve Braun as state representative from District 24 that covers parts of Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville and Sheridan.

Brinegar, a Noblesville resident who has been ICC president for 12 years, said his group is focused on seven priorities in the areas of education, infra-structure, labor relations and taxation, where its eight lobbyists will monitor and attempt to influence legislation.

Brinegar said the ICC would still like to see the state’s business property tax completely eliminated, “but it won’t be this year.” In the meantime, the ICC is behind legislation to have businesses that pay less than $200 annually in the tax be freed from doing so. He said that would cut more than half of the state’s 270,000 business filers off the list, yet it would only see a $10 million decrease in business property tax revenue of the $6.7 billion generated annually.

Another business-related focus is for a work-shar-ing program that would allow an employee whose hours are reduced to receive some unemployment compensation. Currently, only those completely out of work in Indiana can access the unemployment system. The ICC favors legislation that would give employees whose workload has been reduced a proportionate amount of unemployment benefits. For instance, a 30 percent reduction in hours would yield 30 percent of full unemployment compensation. Employers would also have to maintain full benefits for the reduced-hours employees.

“There’s a majority of states that have adopted this legislation and we’d like Indiana to do that,” Brin-egar said. “That way, the employee stays employed and the employer doesn’t lose the talent so that when the economy picks back up, they don’t have to start from scratch and go find somebody. They can just increase the hours back.”

In education, Brinegar said the ICC favors expand-

ed preschool funding for low-income families; using existing national academic standards tests with modifications for Indiana, instead of spending “tens of millions of dollars developing our own”; and mak-ing the superintendent of public instruction position appointed by the governor instead of elected.

“The governor appoints every other department head, he ought to appoint the head of the depart-ment of education,” Brinegar said. “That’s been the position of both political parties over the years, it’s been the position of the state teachers union until recently, until they got their own candidate elected.”

Brinegar said a two-year INDOT study revealed that revenue from gasoline and diesel taxes is less than it was 10 years ago because of the alternative vehicle power sources developed such as electricity and natural gas. That leaves an annual $750 million gap in the state’s road and highway maintenance budget. The ICC favors increasing the amount of fuel tax going to the highway fund (instead of the state general fund), indexing the fuel tax to inflation and taxing alternative fuel vehicles with higher license plate fees.

Diversion – The Westfield Parks Dept. will host its next Bingo Brunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 7. The event, which is for age 50 and older, includes lunch and seven rounds of Bingo and a coverall to finish. Cost is $12. To register or for more information, call 804-3183.

ACHIEvEMENT

By Robert Herrington • [email protected]

Four members of the Westfield Fire Depart-ment participated in the SCOTT Safety Firefighter

Combat Challenge and took home second place in the nation.

Firefighters Matt Hansen, Justin Anderson, Kyle Ericksen and Jeremy Devitt traveled to Phoenix to participate in the World Champion-ship where they placed 17th. In full bunker gear, including wearing the breathing apparatus, fire-fighters are timed on obstacles such as climbing a 5-story tower, dragging hoses and rescuing life-sized 175 lb. “victims” as they race against themselves, other teams from around the world and the clock.

“The members of the Westfield Fire Combat Challenge Team exemplify the best of the best in our field,” said Westfield Fire Chief Joe Lyons. “The team dedicates countless hours to prepare for one of the toughest physical challenges in the world. The Westfield team is already training

for next year’s season.”This year the Westfield team advanced to the

finals. They placed 2nd in the Grand National Standings, 17th in the world and Westfield fire-fighter Matt Hansen set a state record.

Westfield firefighter Matt Hansen set a new state record with a time of 1 min 28.6 seconds and earned a special recognition.

“To achieve the Lion’s Den you must finish before a certain time (100 seconds),” Lyons said.

The team members also include Paul Ashby and Trevor Hash.

“They spend a lot of time training both on and off duty,” Lyons said, adding the team spends its own money on special turnout gear used for racing and travel expenses. “They take time off work and away from their families to get good press for the Westfield Fire Dept. and City of Westfield.”

This is the fourth year of competition for the Westfield team. Last year it placed fourth in nationals.

Commentary by Melody Jones

I may be the director of Park and Recreation for Westfield, but my No. 1 job is being a mom.

Some of the proudest moments in my life involve my three children.

I have a daughter who has grown into a beautiful woman and most importantly an amazing mother to two great kids that I get to spoil.

I also am mom to 24-year-old twin boys, Ethan and Isiah. Right now Ethan is at a great point where he is figuring out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. I love being able to men-tor him and help him navigate throughout life’s challenges. Isiah is at a different point in his young life. He knows exactly what he wants to do and that is fight for his country.

Isiah joined the Marine Corps. Just before Thanksgiving, he graduated from boot camp and became Private First Class Isiah Sweat. He is now far away completing his combat and infan-try training.

My son is one of the most dedicated, focused people I know. He loves his country and has been physically and mentally training for the Marine Corps before he even enlisted.

Sending my son off to boot camp has been a

life changing experience for myself, my daughter and for Ethan. We all love Isiah and are beaming with pride, but we miss him dearly. As an Ameri-can, I am honored that Isiah is willing to sacrifice his safety for my own, but as a mother my heart aches missing him.

My heart ached as I watched Ethan blow out candles alone, celebrating their 24th birthday. He was missing his other half and I was missing my son. This holiday season our family traditions aren’t the same without him. We know he is fighting for a better cause and purpose, but our everyday family life has forever changed.

This holiday season I mentally prepared myself to continue our family traditions without him, but I received the best gift of all, Isiah came home for the holidays. It is a rare treat, but one I will savor every moment.

For 2015, my goal is to be the best Marine mom I know how to be, but for now I’m squeez-ing my Isiah a little tighter this holiday, as I know he will soon leave me for the unknown.

Best, hardest job is being mom

Some quick actions by the City of Westfield and Ray’s Trash Service helped make Jill Bau-

erle’s Christmas a lot brighter.Bauerle had left a Kohl’s

shopping bag with presents she had purchased for her mother-in-law to give to Bauerle’s two children on the top of her car while she went into her Westfield home.

Her husband Jeremy mis-took it for trash and took it out to the trash can on Dec. 18. Unfortunately, it was trash day in her neighborhood.

“He was trying to be help-ful,” Bauerle said. “I probably should have put the bag in my car. It was an accident.”

Later as Bauerle was running out to get a flu shot and run errands, she realized the bag of gifts wasn’t with the car. She checked with her husband first to see if the trash bin was still there and it wasn’t.

So Bauerle called the City of Westfield and customer service representative Sylvia Wil-liamson acted quickly to call Ray’s for Bauerle. A representative from Ray’s then called Bauerle a few minutes later.

“They told me that my driver was almost done with route and they would go through every-thing,” Bauerle said. “It was toward the end of

Act of kindness saves Xmas

HOlIDAYS

the route so everything was recovered fairly nicely.”

Bauerle said the trash service put everything in a new bag because it did get ripped open.

“Ray’s was awe-some,” Bauerle said. “The driver hand-delivered it back to our house. It was such a cool thing because it was about $200 worth of gifts. It was a really great act of kindness.”

Ray’s Trash Service general manager Calvin Davidson said, “Not always are we able to re-trieve things but in this case it worked out. We appreciate being part of the happy ending.”

Bauerle said it was winter hats and coats for 9-year-old son Jason and 5-year-old daughter Gwenevere.

“Ray’s even took the time to write a note,” Bauerle said. “It was amazing because who would think it could be hauled off and recovered. Everyone was so nice and understanding.”

Williamson said she was happy to help in any way she could.

“I’m so glad she was able to recover her gifts for her kids,” she said in an e-mail to Current. “I would have been heartbroken otherwise.”

After four years of construction, 2015 will be the final year motorists deal with traffic issues on U.S. 31; however, the focus for the year will be focused on the most driven intersection – U.S. 31 and U.S. 32. “I have full faith that INDOT will be finished by January 2016. As far along as they are, I think they will make it,” Cook said. “Relatively speaking, from a traffic standpoint it’s gone quite well.”

The sports complex officially opened in June but fields opened in March. City officials estimate that the inaugural year had 910,000 visits. As the city prepares for its second year, Cook said it will be further refining the park’s busi-ness plan with its two stakeholders (Indiana Bulls and Indi-ana Sports Properties).

“With a year under our belt it’s time to adjust contracts to better reflect what’s going on out there,” he said.

Cook said one aspect they didn’t plan for was the amount of softball interest the complex would draw.

“That was one where we underestimated,” he said.To rectify that problem, the city, Westfield Washington

Schools and Indiana Bulls are working to partner and build additional softball facilities at Monon Trail Elementary, which is located near Grand Park.

In 2015, Westfield will host two major tournaments through Indiana Fire Junior with each having 450 teams. Cook said those tournaments will be the first to utilize all 31 soccer fields at Grand Park.

“These are two of the largest soccer tourneys held in the entire country,” Cook said, adding the number of visitors will be 20,000 to 25,000 or more than half of the population in Westfield.

The ripple effect of Grand Park has created three projects since it opened.

The 110,000 square foot Cambria Suites and Hotel will feature 150 rooms, described as oversized suites with plenty of room to work and play. The hotel will feature 5,000 square feet of meeting and conference space.

Private developers have al-ready committed to build two indoor fa-cilities: a $24 million soccer/lacrosse/football facility to open

in 2015 and a $6 million basketball/volleyball facility.“What we are doing here with city ameni-ties is creating a very unique park that we

hope in turn creates a very profitable business environment that the private sector wants to invest in. And that’s exactly what we are beginning to see here,” Cook said. “We do have a few restaurants and quite a few shops and entertainment venues saying ‘How do we get involved?’”

• • •The longtime vacant Verizon building

at 19845 U.S. 31 will turn into an economic revitalization area as part of the plan for Car-

rington Mortgage Services to expand its business in Westfield. By 2019, the company plans to create as many as 360 new high-earning jobs as customer service representa-tives, servicing specialists, sales and marketing profession-als and underwriters. Carrington Mortgage will invest more than $3 million in the building to accommodate the com-pany’s needs. The California-based company will move into the building sometime within the first quarter of 2015.

• • •The TGI Fridays building in Village Park

Plaza will be demolished and a Huntington Bank will be built at the site.

The golf course/residential property, similar to Bridgewater, will be built by Henke Development

Group. Homes will begin being built this year. When completed, Cook said the project in-creases the city’s assessed value by $350 million. “When it’s completed in approxi-mately 10 years, it’ll be huge,” he said. “It won’t be unlike Bridgewater which was 25 percent of the city’s assessed value years ago.”Cook said the city is taking advantage of

U.S. 31 and Grand Park to develop its hospital-ity industry and relocate businesses.

“That’s really where our main emphasis will be to continue to develop Westfield as the top destina-tion for families,” he said. “Rhonda’s (Daly) working hard with hospitality people up and down the corridor to help them take advantage of Grand Park and utilize the (U.S.) 31 freeway.”

Cook said this year’s goal is to professionally approach food, lodging and entertainment businesses about investing in Westfield.

“There will be more amenities,” he said. “Grand Park caters to three tiers of commercial growth: the hospitality industry, sports-related industries and hometown busi-nesses that like what they see and want to be a part of Westfield.”

Cook added that without going into details, a sports medicine announcement will be made in the near future.

The debate over the U.S. 31 and 32 landmarks caused officials to halt the project earlier this year. “We will revisit the landmarks (in 2015),” Cook said, adding the monuments have been put out to an international design competition. He said the project will be redesigned with a “more cohesive” look for Westfield. Cook said discussion on the landmarks since its tabling has “been very posi-tive” from the public and he looks forward to future discussions on the new design.

Taxes - Did you know that in 2015, the federal government is likely to start taxing online purchases? According to a study done by Columbia University: “Many online merchants that do not collect sales tax have a pricing advantage over traditional stores that must, under law, collect sales tax. Online shoppers are supposed to submit payment for tax due, but almost no one does. As a result, many online purchases are tax-free and cheaper than in-store purchases.” Although the bill to stop this was stalled in the House of Representatives in July, it will be revisited in 2015.


“Building community, connecting families” is the theme the City of Westfield is using in 2015. The coming year also serves as a crossroads for Westfield as major construction takes place throughout the city and the fruits of years of labor come to bear.

“Really it is the first full year of implementation of long-term plans,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “Finally we are starting to see fi-nancial results from our investments. Now what we have to do is continue the trend of attracting families.”

What should residents be aware of in 2015?

Law change? Indiana municipalities could no longer annex property owners against their will if lawmakers follow recommendations of a study committee when they reconvene in January. A panel has recommended several changes to the state’s annexation code, including eliminating involuntary annexations and lowering the percentage of homeowners required for a remon-strance. Under the proposal, annexations could occur only if 51 percent or more of affected property owners agree. The percentage required to fight annexation is recommended to de-crease to 51 percent for a remonstrance, compared with 65 percent currently.

Grand Junction Plaza – The city plans to take the year to construct the Mill Street extension and finalize construction docu-ments. Grand Junction Plaza project began as a citizen-driven effort to revitalize Westfield through downtown development. It will be a multi-use meeting place for the community south of U.S. 32 adjacent to Union Street. Based on preliminary estimates, Cook said the project has a $25 million price tag. The official name of the area also will be made in 2015.

• • •By the end of 2015, Monon Trail will be extended north to Monon Trail Elementary. The city

has received funding to build a pedestrian bridge over Ind. 32 but Cook said that will not likely happen until 2017.

tured to adulthood and have initiated their own routes to the altar. And, we consider ourselves lucky to be included in the procession of it all.

The hopeful nature of engagement and eager expectation of a new life together inspires re-flection on the accumulated wisdom of our own successes, and failures, in marriage. What advice would, or should, we offer to the newlyweds? Can our own lives serve as a suitable guide?

Make a commitment to the institution of mar-riage as much as to the other person. Remember that love and commitment are not the same thing. Laugh. Be honest. Don’t conflate caring for each other with taking care of each other. Understand what matters, and what doesn’t. And most importantly, enjoy each season, rain or shine, secure in knowing that as one passes another will follow.

Commentary by Terry Anker

Ecclesiastes accurately claims, “to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...” While my youngest credits the Peter Seeger lyrics to the 1965 Byrds song “Turn, Turn, Turn” that he has memorized from his 26 watchings of “Forest Gump,” the Bible, pardon the pun, is the genesis of the apt de-scription of the natural patterns of life.

There was a time, not so very long ago, that we were attending the weddings of our own contemporaries and close friends. The late spring and summer months would find us travelling on seemingly every weekend to some home-town bridal destination. But as the years have marched on, most of us have comfortably settled into life. Save the occasional remarriage or re-newal of vows, our June weekends have been largely nuptially unencumbered.

Yet as the verse predicted, with the end of one season another has begun. Now we are finding our way to the ceremonies of the children of our friends. Somehow, these youngsters have ma-

Unions, in general, mystify us. One of us has been a card-carrying member (against his will, no less) of a newspaper-representing organization (term used loosely) and both of us have worked in environs where “the union rule” oftentimes prevented work from being done in an orderly fashion. We understand unions ostensibly exist to negotiate for em-ployee rights, but some of the antics that have resulted in pure ugliness are, we believe, not what the founders of organized labor intended. But up through the years the sleaze factor has redlined, and these days it encompasses challenges of multiple laws. Could it be the left is so crafty as to get liberal judges elected to help organized labor achieve on its goals? Well, yes, although as conservatives we don’t like to recognize such genius (Did we really just use that word?). In general, we believe some voters are too uninformed to fully understand the ramifications of electing liberals to the bench. And so the announcement earlier this month that the Indiana Supreme Court re-jected a United Steelworkers Union challenge to our state’s Right to Work law, was met with no small amount of excitement across our metro region. The USW actually argued that unions have a right to force workers to pay for their unwanted organizational services. It just doesn’t make sense. Workers have been forced to pay union dues just to keep their jobs, despite the fact that they do not belong to the union nor sought the union’s represen-tation. We’re glad the Supreme Court justices saw the forest for the trees on this one.

a lot of information, and even some of it actu-ally is important. We won’t isolate the guilty parties, but recent missives have warned us that if we’re going to be partying on New Year’s Eve we should consume high-protein foods to help sideline the effects of booze. We also learned that local police will drive by your home if you’re on vacation. It’s your tax dollars hard at work, folks. Happy New Year!

Holiday memoriesCommentary by Danielle Wilson

Two phrases you never want to hear around the holidays are “The toilet is overflow-ing” and “The tree just fell over.” Luckily for your entertainment, both were uttered in my household recently. Enjoy!

I was already at work, trying to get settled for the day, when I received a frantic phone call from my husband Doo. “Get. Home. NOW.” Huh? He went on to explain, quite hysterically I might add, how he was in the midst of sop-ping up run over from our main floor commode but had an eight-o’clock meeting he simply could not miss. During our terse conversation, all hell broke loose when the potty literally erupted like Old Faithful. I could only imagine the scene: Doo in his dress slacks and button-down shoving his hands to block the geyser of filth attempting to drown him and the rest of our poor bathroom while shouting obscenities over the phone. Needless to say, he hung up with some additional solid cursing and a “You’ll have to take the day off. I’m out.”

Momma to the rescue! I organized a substi-tute (or rather had our secretary; I hadn’t the slightest idea how to find someone on such short notice!), jumped in the van, called the plumber (who of course couldn’t be there until noon and maybe not until five) and arrived back at the house to find 13 soaked beach towels and a thankfully now-draining john. (Later I discovered a leak into our finished basement but by that point there was noth-ing to do but lay more towels and sanitize with Lysol.) When the plumber finally took a look-see (at 2:30 p.m. by the way), of course he couldn’t find anything out of sorts: “You definitely had a blockage but it seems to have cleared itself, ma’am.” No schnitzel, Sherlock! A whole day wasted to learn nothing but the obvious. Good times, go-od times.

Then the following afternoon, on my way home, my middle son calls and announces quite casually, “Ugh, the Christmas tree just fell over.” The 13-foot, real Douglas fir fully-dec-orated with large, fire-hazard lights and hun-dreds of sentimental fragile ornaments? Yes, that one. Glockenspiel! How many disasters can a gal take? When I walked through the door, I saw our entire family room littered with shards of wood and glass, pine needles, and of course, a huge conifer laid out on the sofa. I wanted to cry, such was the sad sight, but in-stead, posted a picture entitled “Timmmberrr!” to Facebook. Misery does love company.

Life happens, my friends, and usually when you least expect it. I hope you were able to make some holiday memories for yourself, but with much less mess!

Peace out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

At Linda Greene’s house, it’s always Christ-mas. In her modest home in New Palestine, she has around 100 decorated Christmas trees. She’s

not sure exactly how many there are because she has never taken the time to count them. That’s because her husband really doesn’t want to know. What makes this story unique is that the trees are continually on display, always decorated. They are up the whole year, 24/7. ‘Tis the season. All the time.

Such was not always the case. When Linda first started her artificial tree collection in the ’70s, she trimmed each one for the holiday sea-son, then meticulously wrapped each ornament and carefully stored it for the following Decem-ber. Sound familiar? But with her current collec-tion, Linda estimates that trimming all the trees would take six months and the process of un-decorating would take another six months. Even I can do that math. It was Charlie, her husband, who finally relented and suggested they stay up year-round. “Yes, it was his idea,” said Linda, “and the only time he regrets it is when it’s hard to find a place in the house to sit down.”

The trees fill all three floors of the home. All in decorative pots, they overwhelm the bath-rooms, occupy most of the living room and make negotiating a trip through the master bedroom somewhat of a challenge. “I can’t bear to see a

It’s a tree-for-allbranch without ornaments; that’s almost crimi-nal,” said Linda. New trees are only occasionally added. Few, if any, are ever retired from service. “Taking down a tree to make room for another,” Linda explained, “would be like abandoning one of my grandchildren.” Instead, she painstakingly rearranges the existing trees, sometimes zig-zagging them into a different pattern. “I may be at a tipping point,” she admited. “There really isn’t any more room.” She does admit there’s one tree in the closet that she needs to find a place for. Happy hunting.

Each tree is themed, adorned with items Linda finds in antique stores and seasonal shops. There’s a ballerina tree, one with antique toys, another with Raggedy Ann dolls, an Indianapolis Colts tree, a snowman tree and one with nothing but gumdrops. One tree sits in an antique fire bucket and has a red hose as a garland. All the ornaments are toy fire trucks and related items.

Linda Greene is the perfect ambassador for the holidays, sharing her passion and answering all questions about her unique home. “What’s your electric bill this time of year?” I asked her.

“THAT, we don’t talk about,” she told me.

Ringing in the New Year safely at fairgrounds

HOlIDAYS


Staying in means staying out of trouble or potentially bothersome situations for those who attend the First Night Noblesville New Year’s Eve

event Dec. 31 at the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds, 2003 Pleasant St.

This is the fourth time event coordinator Jim Wafford of Logan Street Signs & Banners will host the event. Wafford said last year’s event had 450 people in attendance.

“We had over 100 people come for the movies (Despicable Me 2),” Wafford said. “Seventy-five to 80 people were still there at 11:45 p.m. watching the ball drop. Many people then stayed around and helped us clean up. It was a pleasant surprise.”

First Night Noblesville opens at 7 p.m. and ends after a live feed of the ball drop in Times Square at midnight. The kitchen opens at 8 p.m. with snacks and drinks provided by Meijer and Greek’s Pizzeria and Bingo starts at 10 p.m. The event also has coloring books and crayons for youngsters, tons of board games and activities, mini basketball and two ping pong tables.

In the past, Wafford has shown family clas-sics. This year he will show the recently released

“Blended” starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barry-more at 7:30 p.m. Also new is live music by Jen-nifer Johnson from 9 to 10 p.m. Wafford said door prizes will be given away at least every half-hour during the event.

Wafford said the event is not a babysitting service and anyone under 12 must be accompa-nied by an adult.

“The point is to be there with your family. To have some family time,” he said. “That’s what we are trying to create and it has done really well.”

The event began 21 years ago by George Kristo and his late wife Linda as an alternative for families and those who want to celebrate the holidays in a safe environment. They hosted the event for 16 years at various places in Noblesville including downtown and the high school. There was no event in 2010 before the Kristos handed the event over to Wafford.

“I’m very proud of it,” Wafford said. “It’s like their baby has grown a little and they’re saying, ‘OK, take care of it now.’ I need to give it more love and care and hopefully it will continue to grow.”

Kristo is still a part of the event and serves as the caller during Bingo.

“It’s just as important to have him with us,” Wafford said.

Wafford renamed the event First Night Nobles-ville last year; however, the event is open to anyone who wants to come.

“There’s a First Night Boston with 25,000 people and they block off the streets. I’d really like to eventually create something like that here in Noblesville,” he said.

Wafford said his goal – besides having it not cost him money to host it – is to get more com-munity members involved.

“I’d like to get more community involvement, more ideas brought to the table because if it’s just my ideas it could get stale,” he said. “I’d re-ally like to make it a community event by having more community people – churches or govern-ment offices.”

Wafford said the event is important to me because he’s seen the affect alcohol can have on people.

“This time of year, all you hear about are people going to parties and drinking. I’ve had friends affected by drunk drivers,” he said, add-ing his grandfather was an alcoholic. “I’ve seen it and that’s enough motivation for me. He died because his liver gave out from the damage of drinking.”

For more information, call Wafford at 773-7200 or visit www.FirstNightNoblesville.com.

After watching “Despicable Me 2” many families gathered around tables and played board games before watching the ball drop in 2012. (File photo)

Commentary by Jim Litten

As a result of fewer homes on the market, average home prices in Central Indiana reached

$176,863 in November 2014, a 6.5 percent jump compared to November 2013.

Available homes for sale in the nine-county region decreased 3.7 percent in November 2014 with 10,285 homes on the market, 395 fewer than in November 2013. In Hamilton County, 1,663 homes were listed for sale, a modest reduction of .5 percent compared to November 2013. Ham-ilton County is also among the areas reporting pricing gains in November 2014, with sales rising 6 percent to $267,635 from $252,515 from No-vember 2013.

• In Westfield, the year-to-date average sale price in November 2014 climbed 5.7 percent to $286,342 from $253,837.

• Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, five were priced $500,000 to $999,999; nine were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 11 were priced $200,000 to

$299,999; 22 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less.

• Homes in Westfield are moving quickly. Last month, homes stayed on the market 61 days, which is six fewer days compared to November 2013.

• Inventory across the region is tightening. In Westfield, 199 homes were on the market last month compared to 190 homes in No-vember of last year.

We expect the shrinking inventory to continue driving up prices and contribute to this seller’s market that we’ve been experiencing in recent months. We are still positioned to finish the year on a healthy note although sales appear to be sluggish compared to last year – the fourth best year in real estate history.

Wellbrooke wins design award

Wellbrooke of Westfield is being honored for its design, which includes the large amount of natural light streaming into the facility, the variety of textures on the interior and exterior surfaces and contrasting colors of surfaces meant to help guide people who are visually impaired between spaces. (Submitted photo)

[email protected]

Wellbrooke of Westfield is receiving nation-al recognition for its “urban lodge” aesthetic

and design. The award was announced ear-lier this month at the

Healthcare Environment Awards in San Diego. The assisted living facility in Westfield is be-ing honored in the long-term care/assisted living category.

“We are thrilled that this project was rec-ognized by Contract Magazine and The Center for Health Design,” stated Rob Bray, AIA, proj-ect manager at American Structurepoint.

Bray, along with senior architectural de-signer Tim Wise, worked with Indiana-based Mainstreet to develop a design concept for Wellbrooke of Westfield. Mainstreet was looking for an innovative approach to a tran-sitional care center. The result was a hos-pitality-inspired design with an urban-lodge atmosphere and a sophisticated flare.

“The design of Wellbrooke of Westfield represents a point in time where the focus of the health care industry has merged with service and hospitality,” Wise stated. “Our goal as a collective team of industry leaders was to create facilities that provide excep-tional health and wellness services while not sacrificing a high-level of care and design aesthetic.”

Officials said the design creates spaces that engage all the senses and created a hotel experience, bringing interactive spaces into central locations, such as the café, pub and dining facilities that rival restaurant ser-vice and decor.

“The hotel-like amenities create a sense of place for residents as well as nurture op-portunities for social interaction and healing,” Wise stated.

Wellbrooke of Westfield features 70 private and companion suites for physical, occupa-tional and speech rehabilitation and long-term care, as well as 30 service-rich apartments for full-time post-acute and transitional care.

Commentary by Don Knebel

Visiting a single hill in Amman, Jordan, provides an opportunity to see where many of the em-

pires of the Middle East battled and left their marks. It also provides an opportunity to stand on the spot of

a key scene in the Bible’s most famous story of elicit love.

Citadel Hill, the highest of Amman’s seven hills, includes evidence of human occupation since 7,000 B.C., making it one of the world’s longest continuously inhabited sites. At the time of Israel’s King David, a hilltop citadel defended an Ammonite city called Rabbath-Ammon. Ac-cording to the Bible, Uriah the Hittite was among the Israelite troops besieging the fortress when David, remaining behind in Jerusalem, seduced Uriah’s wife, the beautiful Bathsheba. David then ordered Uriah to the front lines where, as David had hoped, an archer perched on the citadel wall killed Uriah with an arrow. David took Bathsheba as his wife and, after belatedly joining the battle, captured Rabbath-Ammon to join the previously-captured Kingdom of Moab on the eastern edge of his United Monarchy.

After the United Monarchy collapsed upon the death of Solomon, David’s son with Bathsheba,

Citadel Hill in Amman, Jordan (Photo by Don Knebel)

Citadel Hill’s history paradeRabbath-Ammon fell under control of a parade of empires, starting with Assyria, Babylon and then Persia. The Greeks captured Rabbath-Ammon from the Persians in the third century B.C., renamed it Philadelphia and lost it to the Nabateans. On behalf of Rome, Herod the Great captured Philadelphia from the Nabateans in 30 B.C. and made it one of the cities of the Decapo-lis. The Romans later built a large temple to Her-cules atop Citadel Hill. After Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire, Philadelphia became the seat of a bishop and residents destroyed the temple and used its columns in their basilica. When Muslims conquered the city, they renamed it Amman and built a still-standing palace over another church, with a mosque nearby.

Citadel Hill contains two millennia worth of temples, churches and mosques. The Jordan Archaeological Museum on the hill displays a reproduction of a stele chronicling how King Me-sha recaptured Moab after the fall of the United Monarchy. There is a lot of history on Citadel Hill.

Shen Yun means “the beauty of divine beings dancing.” The name expresses what Shen Yun aspires to achieve—an experience so profound that it evokes a sense of the heavens.

THE BEAUTY OF DIVINE BEINGS DANCING

“I think it is very pleasing for all the senses, visually all the beautiful colors and the ensembles. It is a spectacle in a way, like a Broadway show, it tells a story and it’s uplifting.”

—Joshua Bell, Renowned Violinist

HROUGH THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE of music and dance, Shen Yun weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales, taking you on a journey through 5,000

years of Chinese culture. Its stunning beauty and tremendous energy leave audiences uplifted and inspired.

BEFORE THE DAWN OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION, a divinely inspired cul-ture blossomed in the East. Believed to be bestowed from the heavens, it valued virtue and enlightenment.
