One of the more disappointing films of the last few months, “The Monuments Men” was an OK movie that could’ve been great. You had an offbeat, interesting subject: the citizen/soldiers who la-bored during World War II to save art works and antiquities from destruction or theft by the German Reich.

Columnist Mike Redmond stuck at a crossroads, where his lawn is concerned. He can’t decide whether to go out and break his back setting the sparse, patchy col-lection of various grasses, plants and patches of dirt right (assuming he can) or hire a lawn ser-vice to come in tear it all up and start over – the scorched earth approach, as it were.Read more at www.currentin-westfield.com.
Columnist Vicky Earley said Ameri-cans are in love with the unassuming bungalow. “If you need proof, simply stroll the streets of Old Town Carmel and you will see that Old Town Design Group has been quite busy for the past few years replacing tired structures that had served their families well but have passed their prime with updated versions of this architectural icon,” she writes.

New app connects users to city
TECHNOlOgY
By Robert Herrington • [email protected]
Finding out what’s happening in the City of West-field is now available in the palm of residents and visitors’ hands. As a new way to stay in touch, the
city has created the Westfield, Indiana app – available now for iPhone and Android users.
“Westfield is growing and changing in so many different ways. This app is just another way for us to utilize technology to keep our residents and visi-tors stay connected to what’s going on,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “As Grand Park continues to draw more and more visitors, we as a city need to find creative ways to direct them to our restaurants and shops while they’re in town.”
The app, which is free to download, is designed to showcase all that Westfield has to offer with the most up-to-date information on events, dining options, hotels and more. The Westfield app allows users to:
• Easily navigate to their destination with interactive maps that provide turn-by-turn directions.
• Contact information for schools, churches, ho-tels and more.
• Visit websites for restaurants and view menus.• Quickly find information with the app’s search
tool highlighting all of Westfield’s hot spotsCommunications Director Erin
Verplank said a second app for Grand Park will be released in early June.
“That app is for specific visitors to Grand Park to find fields, best places to park, etc.,” she said. “This app is really for the entire com-munity – where to eat locally in Westfield, what to do, where the parks are – you can reintroduce yourself to Westfield.”
Verplank said the communications department will
utilize push notifications with the app to provide instant new and updates and event reminders.
“If traffic is backed up by (U.S.) 31 construction, my department can tell users that. Or if 10,000 people are in town for a tournament,” she said. “It’s what people really want to know.
Verplank said the app is still a work in progress.“Please let us know if something is missing. It
is so easy to add to. We want to know people’s thoughts on it as well,” she said. “Nothing is set in stone by any means. It’s easy to update.”
The Westfield, Indiana app is available on iTunes and Google Play Store.

At approximately 4:30 a.m. May 12, Westfield fire-fighters were called to a barn fire at 17465 Little Eagle Creek Ave. When crews arrived, Chief Joe Lyons said they found a 30-by-60-foot storage barn fully engulfed.
Crews worked to contain the fire to the structure and the fire was under control by 5 a.m. Lyons said no live-stock was in the barn and no injuries were reported.
“Investigators are awaiting a report on lightning strike locations in the area to confirm the cause,” Lyons stated.

“They just dropped us.”
Problem solved. This is another example of how Shepherd Insurance delivers the help customers need when it matters most. Contact us and let us know how we can go to work for you.
“After 34 years with no problems, our former insurance company just dropped
our homeowner’s policy. No warning. No explanation. It was surreal. A friend
referred us to Shepherd Insurance and they sent Ben out immediately to talk
with us. Within minutes, I felt like my family had an advocate in the insurance
industry and that everything was going to work out. He was incredible at
calming my fears and setting to work on our behalf. It’s hard to put into words
the comfort he brought to our family that day.”

Senior Amy Bennett was honored for her influ-ence and leadership to encourage fellow sham-
rocks to live a healthier and smarter lifestyle by the Hamilton County Com-
missioners with the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs Youth Service Award for Westfield High School.
“I was honored,” she said. “I’m glad being an influence is important in our county and being recognized.”
Bennett is a member of the swim team, Span-ish Honors Society, is the senior class president and a member of the Principal’s Advisory Com-mittee. Bennett has also been a Hoosier Girls State participant.
“I make them and church a priority,” Bennett said of being involved with extracurricular activi-ties. “I enjoy doing everything because I love people and having relationships with people.”
Bennett said her greatest accomplishment has been being a member of the Step Up Club which supports a healthy lifestyle through host-ing convocations regarding anti-drug and alcohol speakers, performs seatbelt surveys and encour-ages students to sign pledges to be alcohol and drug free. As a member of this club Bennett has being a role model for the younger students and leads by example.
“Amy in every activity, classroom or social set-
ting has been a true role model. She is not only a role model but also a leader and students who see someone who is honest, trustworthy, gra-cious and drug-free,” Carrie Larrison, Bennett’s school counselor, stated.
Bennett plans to attend Purdue University in the fall and major in nursing.
Seven high school seniors were honored as their school’s nominee and Hamilton Southeast-ern High School’s Rachel Brown was named the award winner.

ementary SchoolNumber of years teaching: 11Background/schooling: Reitz Memorial
High School, Evansville; bachelor’s in elementary education, Ball State University; and master’s in education, Ball State University.
Why did you become a teacher? After teaching tennis to children in the summers dur-ing high school, I realized how much I enjoyed working with kids.
What goals do you have for your stu-dents? My main goal is to teach my students to work hard in all they do. Hard work will help them reach their goals for the rest of their lives.
What do you encourage parents to do at
home to help their chil-dren strengthen particular skills? Read to, with, and in front of your children to build a life-long love of reading.
What is your favorite movie? Grumpy Old Men
Who is your favorite musician or band? John Mellencamp
What’s something your students might not know about you? When my high school tennis team won state, we got to ride on top of a fire truck back to the high school. It was both scary and exhilarating. You’d be amazed how close your head is to hitting the stop lights while sitting on top of a moving fire truck.

Tim Krupski, senior pastor at Lord of Life Lutheran Church, was honored by Mayor Andy
Cook, right, and the Westfield City Council on May 12. Krupski has served on the Westfield
Youth Assistance Program board of directors since its inception in the fall of 2009.
Cook said the program identifies young kids, ages 3 to 17, that are at-risk and are headed for trouble but never touched the legal system. To
date, the program has assisted more than 400 families in Westfield.
“It prevents youth from getting in trouble,” said Cook. “Westfield has the highest graduation rate in the big counties surrounding us and we have less kids entering the juvenile system this year in Hamilton County.”
Westfield was the pilot city and YAP has since spread to Noblesville and Fishers with plans to begin in Sheridan and Zionsville.
“It all started with the people of Westfield,” Cook said.

Westfield’s IMMI, the leading manufacturer of restraints and buckles for American child seat
makers, is teaming up with the growing car service Uber to pro-vide safer transportation for fami-
lies with children with the IMMI Go child seat.“This is a groundbreaking commitment to
safety that Uber is making in the car service industry,” IMMI CEO Larry Gray stated. “Because Uber is providing parents with the IMMI Go, families who are traveling or using Uber for short trips around town will no longer have to carry their large car seats to secure their kids. It’s a perfect fit for the industry.”
The IMMI Go is a lightweight, safe, and mobile alternative to normal car seats, which also is designed to take up little room in the trunk of
IMMI partners with car service

Uber’s vehicles, leaving plenty of space for travelers’ luggage. Uber’s Family Service will launch its Family Service program in New York City and expand it across the nation in the coming months and years.
The IMMI Go seat is only avail-able for distribution to the car service and rent-al car industry, as well as to emergency services for municipalities and state agencies.

City, schools approve deal for new football stadium
and economic developmentBy Robert Herrington • [email protected]
Standing in the back of the over capacity crowd of Westfield City Hall on May 12 was Pam Kainrath, parent of a Westfield senior, sopho-more and first-grader.
Wearing a green T-shirt, Kainrath held a sign with two sham-rocks and one word – YES. Kainrath’s poster summed up the sup-port and emotion many residents felt about the future realized through a partnership between the schools, city and local developers.
For $2.5 million, the city is turning school land at the northeast corner of U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 into assessed value and taxes. The funding allows the district to accelerate its timetable to sell 9.6 acres to developers, build a new football stadium behind Westfield High School and provide the city with a new tax base, projected as at least $40 million.
Reaction and the needCouncil President Jim Ake said he received
almost 300 positive responses about the project since its proposal on April 28 and just one negative email, which did not state a reason why.
“I don’t know of a better win-win than this,” he said. “We can help them without any tax dollars being spent. Our investment will be returned to us in full and can be used later for other projects in the future. Who wins in this? I think it is our school system, our business community, the construction work-er, the taxpayer and I think it is every Westfield citizen of any age.”
Councilor Steve Hoover said 95 percent of his e-mails gave detailed reasons why the public supported the partnership.
“I felt like the people were more informed on this issue than most issues we’ve ever done. I see no reason why this issue is not a win-win for everyone,” he said.
WHS freshmen football players Justin Frey and Caleb Sanburn said the support about the new stadium was just as strong as the team’s run to the state championship in November.
“I think it’s great. I’m super-excited,” Frey said.The players said the field, which is used by all
teams, is in rough shape.“It’s complete trash, it’s terrible,” Sanburn said.
“When it rains it is a mud pit.”“One muddy game on there and it’s done,” Frey
said.

Josh Miracle, assistant football coach and girls’ track and field coach, said IHSAA officials have in-formed him the track was “not really equipped to hold meets.” Miracle said this year a Noblesville pole-vaulter broke a leg, a middle school hurdle fell on her face from protruding concrete and a meet against Fishers High School was canceled because the start line was under water. The distance to the facility from the high school also is an issue for students and in case of injuries.
“It takes 20 minutes to jog or ride over to the track. That equates to 13 days over the year,” he said.
Football coach Jake Gilbert said his team and the community can reach higher to make Westfield a world-class city.
“There are so many things we do in the community to bring people togeth-er, but never are there more people to-gether than there are at a high school football game,” he said. “I think it was a necessity. It’s huge for the future of Westfield in terms of meeting our full potential. They did what’s best for the city and schools. I’m so proud of our government for doing that.”
Gilbert said the grass field is overused, but the new artificial field could host more events for all sports, clubs and student organizations. While the stadium is not expected to be complete until the 2015 track and field season, hopes are to play some football games at the new stadium this fall.
“We hope some football games will be played there this fall. Not in August but some playoff games,” Westfield Washington Schools Supt. Dr. Mark Keen said, adding games will remain at
the current stadium until the new one is built.
“I’d love our seniors to get an oppor-tunity to play on it,” Gilbert said. “Either way, it is going to be great. It’s not a dream, it’s a reality.”
HistoryThe current stadium opened in the fall of
1950, according to longtime Westfield resident
Judith Stanley Shuck. It was built by the WHS Lettermen Club after funds were raised from weekly fish fries. Shuck said bleachers and lights were added as needed and in 1988 the stadium was built with new lighting, asphalt, press box, concession stand and stadium
seats.“There will be a place for our history; it will

COMMUNITYnot be forgotten,” WHS Athletic Director Bill Davis said, adding the project was 18 years in the mak-ing. “When the high school was brand new, there were future plans to get the stadium underway. In the past six to eight years it became a huge need for our kids.”
The new stadium, which will have one major entrance shared with the soccer field, provides a better experience to players and fans and im-proves safety and supervision of young students.
“We simply meet the Westfield needs and did not worry about any comparisons,” Davis said.
WHS Principal Stacy McGuire said that something special is happening within her building and if the council invested in her students, they would not disappoint them.
“They excel inside and out-side of the classroom,” she said. “I want the very best for my kids because they deserve it.”
McGuire, a WHS graduate, said the field her father played on in 1953 was “no longer adequate for these kids today.”
“It’s disgraceful. It’s not about keeping up with the Jones’, it’s about providing our kids with something better,” she said. “I tell my kids great moments come from great opportunity. Have you had a greater moment to address our kids since you came on the board?”
‘The Junction’ developmentA group of Westfield developers have pro-
posed a project called “The Junction” for the 14 acres that is currently home to the stadium, track, baseball fields and administration building. The signature gateway of U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 will include a medical office building, family entertain-ment center, hotel/meeting space, retail and fitness center.
“It’s another option to serve our visiting guests of Grand Park,” said Randy Zentz of Westfield Community Investors, LLC. “We are very aware of the high profile intersection as the sig-nature gateway.”
Newly formed, WCI participants are Westfield residents, business owners and others who formed for the purpose of being long-term inves-tors in Westfield property, with the school prop-erty as its only focus at this time.
“We see an opportunity for that property not only to generate significant new tax revenue for the city and schools, but also to meet retail (res-taurant and related services), medical and meet-
ing space needs of students, parents, nearby residents and the entire Westfield community,” Zentz said.
Zentz said the project includes five buildings on the area west of Shamrock Boulevard and three on the east side which will be developed at a later date. The Westside development includes two medical offices with mixed use including retail and restaurants on the first floor and office space and studios on the upper levels. The hotel, which could be the first in Westfield, is preferred to have large meeting space available to the pub-lic. The two other buildings include a standalone catering/meeting place and a large indoor family entertainment center with miniature golf, arcade, games and restaurant.
Zentz said the project is estimated to provide $40 to $50 million of assessed value as well as numerous jobs to the city. WCI envisions construction beginning in 2015, or as otherwise determined by the school’s ability to relocate to new facilities.
Councilor Rob Stokes said “The Junction” project faces two conditions with its rezoning request: no tax abatements or fee waivers would be accepted and any owners, tenants and devel-opers would be for profit.
“We include this because of the money being paid substantially up front,” he said.
A ‘win-win’ scenarioThe idea is simple – the city uses non-taxpay-
er funds to invest in future assessed value. “You will start getting back your investment
within two-and-a-half to three years and then will be going forward with additional revenue,” Keen said. “The $2.5 million does not build a sta-dium. It gets us off the ground so the land can be developed.”
Earlier this year, the district agreed to sell 14 acres just east of the U.S. 31-Ind. 32 interchange to a group of local Westfield investors. The 4.5 acres east of Shamrock Boulevard is where the administration office is and said the district has the ability to remain there for five more years.
Mayor Andy Cook said funding for the project will come from the proceeds of the utility sale. He said the city would pay $1.5 million now and the other $1 million “when vertical improvements have begun.”
“It is very interesting and rewarding to see so many people get behind this,” he said. “What was so enlightening was having our council work with our school board. It really shows what co-operation in government agencies can do.”

“The Junction” will provided a new signature look for the downtown gateway and is expected to spur other economic development in the area. (Submitted rendering)

It was an overly interesting and pinpointed question, whose answer could be packed with potential dire ramifications. Actually, we wish we had thought of it. Alas, Chris Stirewalt of Fox News First last week posed this revela-tory enquiry: What if Hillary Rodham Clinton can’t (or won’t) run for the presidency? There are numerous queries about her health and age (only Ronald Reagan, one of our political heroes, was older than Clinton’s would-be election age of 69), and former George W. Bush stalwart Karl Rove clearly and politically discussed that. Fair or not, and we’re no fans of Clinton, Rove’s comments had to strike fear into the collective heart of the Democratic Party. If she cannot or will not run, who would be the candidate of choice? There is no obvi-ous alternative, in our opinion, and it could spell the end for the Dems on the campaign trail. Of course, we’re counting on the Repub-lican Party to royally screw up any chance it has of winning the presidency, so all in all it will make for really good theatre.
•••As of press time, we were awaiting ad-
ditional details of Gov. Mike Pence’s Healthy Indiana Plan. You may have heard, Pence has decided against participating in the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion to cover the uninsured. From what we’ve heard, Pence’s program calls for a state-run, two-tiered plan for low-income Hoosiers, as opposed to feder-ally run Medicaid. Tier One of Pence’s plan provides limited coverage at little to no cost. Tier Two includes dental and vision coverage but will have a cost associate with it. If, as Pence claims, this results in a more consumer-driven approach to health care, then we think it might make sense. Plus, if the Feds think it’s a bad idea, there must be merit to it. As we found out in the early rollout of Obamacare, the devil is in the details, so stay tuned as details of Pence’s program unfold.
What if Clintoncan’t or won’t run?
Those criteria were: total amenities; quality of life; total crimes; tax rates; unemployment; com-mute time and weather.
Westfield, which ranked No. 6, was credited for its low unemployment rate (6.1 percent) and a summer temperature ranking that was “a very impressive third for that criteria.” Movoto described the city as: “Workers are paid what they deserve for their long commute times, at a median household income of $86,360. The crime rate here is quite low, and the quality of life is decently high, meaning that this is one safe and comfy little place to reside. Sports fan may find that Grand Park is the right kinda place for them. It’s intended to be a hub of activity and fun in this fairly small city.”
Carmel was ranked first, Fishers was second and Noblesville places fourth. To read more, visit www.movoto.com.
Commentary by Robert Herrington
The Movoto Real Estate Blog recently released its top 10 ranking of the best place to live in the state. It’s not surprising that four Hamilton County cities ranked in the top six, including Westfield.
Mayor Andy Cook best summed up the feeling of residents, who have become accustomed to these type of awards.
“The honor of being labeled one of the top 10 places to live in Indiana is not news to those who live here,” he said. “The latest recogni-tion shows me we’re doing something right and we’re on the right track. Our visitors are starting to notice all the great things Westfield has to offer, from our trail system to Grand Park and soon it will be Grand Junction. More and more people are choosing Westfield to raise their families and I’ve never been more proud to call Westfield my home.”
Like similar lists, Movoto collected data from sources including the U.S. Census and business listings. In this case, every place in Indiana with a population of at least 10,000 – a total of 76 places – was ranked in seven different criteria.

Last year my husband and I had the amaz-ing opportunity to travel to North Africa and
Turkey. Thanks to a teacher grant, I studied Islamic culture and the history of mathematics
in Marrakesh, Cairo and Istanbul. It was truly the trip of a lifetime. And with my newfound confidence in grant writing, I applied for what was sure to be an equally remarkable trip to Greece this year. Admittedly, this second proposal wasn’t my best work – I did only have three days to pull it together – but I still felt certain I would win. Like the classic John Cusack film, it was a sure thing.
Despite my clever title “Greece Lightening: A High Speed Journey through the Isles of Mathematical Innovation,” I was denied. Now what was I supposed to do this summer? Doo shared my disappointment, as we had already booked a cave hotel on Santorini and planned our re-enactment of the original “Clash of the Titans” on Samos.
Not to be undone, we regrouped and began looking for another vacation spot. Without a major philanthropic group to foot the bill, it had to be cheap. International travel was out, as was anything on a coast; the airfare was simply outrageous. We considered driving, but all of the cities within a few hours scored low on our interest scale. Chicago, Cincinnati, Lou-isville, St. Louis, Detroit? Been there, done that. Where was the adventure? Where was the exotic food and culture? Not in the Midwest, that’s for sure. So it seemed we’d be stuck in the northern ‘burbs of Indy come June. Bluh.
Then, out of the blue, I received an email from Doo: “How about Trenton?” What? Where the hell is Trenton? “I can get us flights for $70 roundtrip!” Sold. Book it. And get me a map.
Turns out Trenton, though not so lovely in and of itself, is very close to some rather pic-turesque towns like Princeton and Burlington. The city center is also on a light rail line that can have you in New York City in 90 minutes. So guess who’s going to Trenton, N.J., for a three day extravaganza?
Sure, it’s not Greece, but I’m actually really excited about the weekend. I’ve never been to the area before, and I love discovering new places with my spouse. And any time away from the kids is a good time, even if it’s in New Jersey. Besides, going in to Manhattan for a day will probably feel like a foreign country when compared to Indiana. I don’t speak New Yorker, so mischief and mayhem are sure to abound.
Next summer I’ll hopefully be reporting from Greece, but this year it’s Trenton, N.J.
Peace out.
Trenton, N.J., Greece of the Northeast

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
My wife was watching the news story about a Yankee pitcher who violated game rules by
smearing some pine tar on his neck that he could then apply to the ball before each delivery.
“Why did he do that?” asked Mary Ellen.“It gives him an advantage in controlling the
pitch,” I explained.“Why is that bad? Wouldn’t it cut down on
crazy pitches?”“You mean wild pitches. Yes, it might. But it’s
illegal because…“Can the batter use this pine tar?”“Yes, the batter can but, but…”I was a stumped. Rules in sports are arbitrary
and inconsistent. When the ball hits the sideline in basketball, it’s out of bounds. In baseball, it’s fair—keep running. Here are some more baseball questions from Mary Ellen last October that I couldn’t field:
“Who is winning the World Series?”“It’s tied, two games apiece.”“Why do they play so many games? Why not
play just one big one, like the Super Game?”“It’s the ‘Super Bowl.’ It’s different with
football.”“Why?”“I have no idea. Just trust me.”I have another question. Why do they call it a

“No clue.”“And why are there four balls and only three

caught by an infielder with ordinary effort, when first and second, or first, second and third bases, are occupied, before two are out and…”

“Okay, Mary Ellen, how come when I ask you if you are ready to head out for a movie, you say two more minutes, and 20 minutes later, you say, ‘Almost ready’”?

For the twelfth year, the Town of Fishers is holding its popular Nickel Plate District summer concert series beginning in June. There are things
about the event that have changed from past years, including the venue and adding concerts on other nights, but the one thing that hasn’t changed has been the response.
Town Manager Scott Fadness said the series is a keynote event in Fishers. “It’s one of those things that just kind of embodies what Fishers is all
about; having four or five thousand people show up in downtown Fishers is just so exciting to see,” he said. “We hope this year is bigger and better than ever. If you’ve been by the amphitheater, everything looks great. The grass is green and we’re ready for summer to begin.”
This will be the second year the series was conducted at the newly-built amphitheater. It provides a better venue for people to see the per-formers as well as better lighting and ambience, Fadness said.
It also offers restrooms and concessions that the series didn’t have before. In addition to the Tuesday night concert series, the new Amp After Dark series on Friday nights is being introduced for a more adult audience.
The Tuesday Night Concerts begin at 7 p.m., while the Amp After Dark shows on Fridays begin at 9 p.m. There are several special events sched-uled including country music recording artists on select Thursdays and a
Blues Fest marked for Labor Day weekend. All concerts are free and kick-off on June 3 with the first Tuesday Night
Concert featuring Soul Street.Highlights from the concert schedule include:• The Amp After Dark opening night will feature national recording art-
ist Eric Lindell on June 6• Country music recording artists Austin Webb with special guest
Heather Michelle Chapman will perform June 5• Jennie DeVoe will play The Amp After Dark on July 11• The Chateau Thomas Blues Festival will be conducted Aug. 30Parking may be different than in years past because of construction in
downtown Fishers, but Fadness said there will be plenty of parking avail-able that will have lots of signage and staff will be present to help.
Concertgoers are welcome to walk or bike to the shows because the Nickel Plate District is pedestrian friendly and connected to trails through-out Fishers. People are encouraged to bring a blanket, a bottle of wine and a picnic and just enjoy the show.
“I think that our summer concert series is really just the ultimate symbol of Americana and family values. If you’re looking for somewhere to take your family on a Tuesday night that will provide you with a true sense of community, then this is the right event and the right venue to come to,” Fadness said.

The Flying Toasters the bring party ‘Top Hooker’ to appear at Morty’s
MUSIC COMEDY
By Joseph Knoop • [email protected]
Self-described as a party band, The Flying Toasters will be performing a variety of rock,
R&B, and radio hits at their Carmel gazebo concert at 7:30 p.m., June 4.
The band, formed in late 2003 by Jason Hayes and his father, Bill Hayes, began playing shows in March 2004. Bill has since retired and moved to Florida, but the group continues on and plays about 100 to 150 shows per year.
They have played the Carmel gazebo concert three times in previous years. It’s a perfect set-ting for their music, and band members said they enjoy performing in unique outdoor events.
“We’re very blessed to be able to perform in a variety of different envi-ronments. There’s some-thing special about playing outside,” said Jason Hayes.
Band members said the group likes to play a mix of classic hits while inserting random songs into the playlist, saying it brings a life to their show that draws in old fans and new ones, too.
“The nice thing about being off-the-cuff, a set list might not be the best choice because you don’t know who will be there,”
By Dawn Pearson• [email protected]
As one of Animal Planet’s cast members on the reality show ‘Top Hooker,” Reno Collier not
only baits the hook, he also fishes for laughs.
The standup co-median and actor from West Virginia, who started his career as a physical education teacher, will be performing on stage at Morty’s Comedy Club May 22 through 24.
Collier will be looking for laughs through his observations recalling mishaps of his West Virginia cousins, his Scottish heritage, unruly in-laws and alien abductions.
Current: Is Reno your real name and what have your parents told you about why they named you Reno?
Collier: Yes, Reno is my real name. I’m named after my great-grandfather. In third grade some dyslexic kid figured out how to put how to put a “B” at the end of it and spell it backwards, so I was “Boner” for like five years.
Current: Tell us what makes Reno Collier laugh.
Collier: The stuff that really makes me laugh? Are true stories and just being really silly. I watch the movies my kids like and laugh like an 8-year-old. To me, “Dumber and Dumber,” “Caddyshack” and “Blazing Saddles” are the fun-niest movies of all time.
Current: And who makes you laugh?Collier: I obviously have to say Larry the
Cable Guy because if I don’t he said he’ll fire me. I really like Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan, but
I’m a fan of a lot of people. Current: What is the one topic you
won’t touch in your show?Collier: I’m really not all that dirty
and only talk about real life stuff, so I guess just not using the Lord’s name in vain.
Current: When did you realize that you were a funny, funny man?
Collier: Probably when my parents sent me to military school.
Current: In addition to your tour and “Top Hooker,” what other projects do you have in the works?
Collier: I just finished filming “Jingle All the Way 2” in Vancouver. It is going to be really funny. My kids are really pumped for it.
Current: What is the one thing you are most proud of in your work and one that you wish you could forget?
Collier: I am the most proud of doing USO tours overseas. I wish I could forget doing in-terviews. ;)
Current: What can people expect from your show at Morty’s?
Collier: All I care about is people coming out and having a good time.

The Flying Toasters will kick off the 2014 Carmel gazebo concert series. (Submitted photo)
said Hayes. “The plan is to not have a plan.”The band said there’s no shortage of camara-
derie and friendship, and that’s what makes it a cohesive unit.
“A lot of musicians, a lot of artists, they play together, they don’t get along, but it’s differ-ent with the Toasters,” said Rodney Stepp, the group’s keyboardist and vocalist. “Because we are family. We take vaca-tions together, we travel together, we have a good time. Most weekends,
when most people want to go out and party, we are the party.”

Commentary by Kathleen Connelly
You can feel it in the air, can’t you? Summer is coming and it is going to provide us with an
abundance of opportunities to better our health! My family, just like a lot of us here in Fishers, is
in full swing with spring sports, end-of-the-year school functions and planning for our summer break. The other week when we had two base-ball games at the ballpark, dance rehearsal and soccer I thought to myself, “This is crazy – sand-wiches again!”
I know there a lot of moms just like me who want to provide their kids with good, nutritional food and sometimes trying to accomplish that with a hectic family schedule is difficult. How-ever, there are ways! Prepping and planning for what you want for your family’s health is just as important as the actions themselves. If you know it will be a busy week, cook a larger meal on the weekend and then put leftovers in the fridge or freezer for a different night.
On Sunday, decide what meals you will cook during the week and make sure you have the items needed for each meal. Last Sunday, we ate from a more dinner-like menu at lunch and had a lunch-type menu for dinner since we had football games that evening. Sometimes I even cook a meal for the following evening at night after the kids go to bed. One of my prepping activities for the week is to chop vegetables and bag them up
Plan for better nutritionso they are ready to go for lunches. Have you tried the Fishers Farmers Market? It is now being held each Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to noon at the Nickel Plate Park. It is a great way to pick out fresh and organic products to use in next week’s meals. Take the kids along and let them help make some decisions. My kids love getting involved in choosing what fruits or vegetable we have for the week!
Trust me, I know how busy life can get but there are ways to make our health a priority. Start trying to prep in advance for meals, pre-pack snacks and lunches and visit the Fishers Farmers Market. Lastly, give yourself a break! Even I need to remind myself some weeks that having sandwiches are okay because the kids think it is fun to have a picnic dinner!

Commentary by Joel Harris
Social Security will undoubtedly play a ma-jor role in most Americans’ retirement income
planning. The problem is,
most Americans will not take the time to understand various claiming strategies that could potentially add several thousands of dollars in additional ben-efits during their lifetimes. I’m going to discuss a little-used strategy called “file and suspend” that could potentially mean greater benefits to your retirement income.
Here’s the scenario: Joe and Jane Doe have been married for more than 30 years and are seriously considering retirement in the next five years. Joe is 65 and was born in 1949, which means his full retirement age is 66. Jane is 63 and was born in 1951, so her full retirement age is also 66. As with many Americans, Joe and Jane’s number one goal is finding ways to maxi-mize their income when the checks stop coming in from their current employers.
Based on Joe’s working history, his primary in-surance amount at full retirement age is $2,450. Jane’s, on the other hand, is $1,590 based on her earnings history. Joe plans on working past his full retirement age because he will “go crazy” if he stops working in his 60s. Jane has a different mindset and is dead set on retiring at 66 so she can travel, volunteer in her community and pick up new hobbies.
Most people in this scenario would elect to take their own benefits at 66, and by doing so, would leave a lot of future income on the table in retirement. Here’s where the “file and suspend”
strategy could potentially work perfect for Joe and Jane.
Since Joe plans on working well past his full retirement age, he decides to file and suspend his benefits at 68, which makes Jane eligible for spousal benefits at 66. Jane would file a restrict-ed application for spousal benefits only in the estimated amount of $1,225 at age 66. Next, Joe would elect to turn on his benefits at 70 based on his earning history, which has grown to ap-proximately $3,234 per month. Since Jane elected spousal benefits at 66, her own benefit contin-ued to grow until age 70, which is estimated to be about $2,099 per month in 2021. Lastly, in the event Joe passes away before Jane, she has the ability to switch again to survivor benefits in the estimated amount of $3,234 per month.
There are a lot of moving parts with the above-mentioned scenario. To put it in a nutshell, if Joe lives to be 85 and Jane lives to 90, they will receive approximately $1,242,087 in benefits using the “file and suspend” strategy versus an approximate $1,090,350 had they elected to take their own benefits at full retirement age.
That is a difference of $151,737; that is a lot of dough, folks!
The moral of this story is simple. Social Secu-rity income will have a profound effect on your retirement income planning. Please research all of your options before you go sprinting to the So-cial Security office to sign up for benefits at 62.
Simple planning can add cushion

One in 10 Americans don’t carry paper money anymore - It could be a portent of the long-foretold cashless society, or just a sign of consumer confidence, but nearly one in 10 Americans no longer car-ry cash on a daily basis, according to a new report from Bankrate.com. The survey, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associ-ates International, also found that 78 percent of Americans carried less than $50 in paper money, and that 49 percent carry $20 or less each day. Nine percent went without cash entirely, the survey found. The survey also found that Eighty-six percent of women reported carrying less than $50, compared to 70 percent of men. SOURCE: Yahoo Finance
Local company rewards inves-tors - Baldwin & Lyons declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.25 per share on the company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend per share will be payable June 5 to share-holders of record on May 22.
3 dead-money stocks to avoid – What should we call a blue chip stock that’s past its prime? When people try to say something nice about someone without many other redeeming qualities, they of-ten say that person has a “great personality.” The equivalent thing that investors say about formerly high-flying stocks is that they’ve “got a great dividend.” Such is the predicament that 1) McDonald’s (MCD) - finds itself in. The 3.2 percent yield of MCD stock is above the 1.96 percent average of the S&P 500, but there are better ways to chase yield. MCD shares are cheap, trading a forward price-to-earnings multiple under 18. But they are cheap for a reason. MCD has alienated customers and has even angered its own franchi-sees. The House of Ronald expects to see some “modest” improve-ment in same-store sales in April, but take note that have been five straight declines in this key retail metric. 2) Coca-Cola’s (KO) - America’s century-long love affair with carbonated beverages has cooled considerably. Per-capita soda consumption is a multi-year low. Sales of soda are tumbling. Even more troubling is the decline in diet soda, which was considered to be the industry’s saving grace. Baring the discovery of a low-calorie sweetener that cures baldness, Coca-Cola is going to face difficulties selling its signature product because there is nothing positive that can be said about it. 3) IBM (IBM) - The company is a hodgepodge of software, hardware and services. Were it being built today, there is no way any compa-ny would attempt to compete in such a broad array of markets. The other issue, as was evident in the last quarter, is that the strong businesses like software aren’t strong enough to overcome the weaknesses of struggling operations such as hardware. To make maters worse, IBM can no longer count on its services business to make up the difference. Last quarter, it reported double-digit declines in pre-tax profit and a 1 percent decline in revenue. Com-panies still need advice but just aren’t willing to pay up for it.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer
Question: “Grammar Guy, I see the word ‘data’ used all the time as both a singular and
plural noun. Can it be both, or is there a consis-tent rule for it?”
Answer: I’ve been saving this question for the right time, and since I’ve spent the last week nose-deep in spreadsheets, I think I’m ready for it.
To begin with, “data” comes to us directly from Latin, where it is the plural form of “datum” (Meaning: “an item given”). In English, we under-stand data as “facts or information used usually to calculate, analyze, or plan something.” When you enter your destination into MapQuest: That’s data. When you fill out a survey: That’s data. When you vote in an election: That’s data. Data is information.
Some professional organizations have endeav-ored to standardize the use of “data.” The Ameri-can Psychological Association, which regulates APA Style, has, for example, decided that “data” is always to be used as a plural noun.
For most uses that don’t follow APA Style, however, you’ll need to decide whether “data” is acting as a count noun or a mass noun.
The best way to do this is to decide whether
Data: Singular or plural?you are referring to individual units of data or an abstract group of data as a whole. A trick to help you figure this out at first is to mentally add the word “points” after “data” in the sentence and see whether it makes sense.
For example: “These data (points) are out of order” vs. “This data (points) comes to us from the CDC.” In the first sentence, the addition of “points” makes sense because we are talking about individual data. “Data” is therefore a count noun and should be treated as a plural. In the second sentence, adding “points” doesn’t make sense – “data” is acting as a mass noun and should get a singular verb.
Sometimes, though, treating “data” as a singu-lar or plural noun comes down to personal pref-erence. Consider this sentence: “Self-reported data (is/are) historically unreliable.” “Data” could be used as either a singular or plural noun in the sentence, and both choices would make sense and be grammatically acceptable. Like the data itself, how you use it is up to you.

Commentary by Don Knebel
As we travel to see the world’s treasures, we can overlook those in
our own back yards. The Indiana War Memo-rial is one such a trea-
sure, often ignored by people driving by it every day.
In 1920, as part of a successful plan to lure the American Legion headquarters to Indianapolis, the In-diana General Assembly appropriated $2 million for a monument to the vic-tors of the recent world war. General John J. Pershing broke ground for the 210-feet-tall War Memorial in 1927, which was dedicated in 1933 even though the interior remained incom-plete despite additional funding from the Works Progress Administration.
The design of the three-story square building, with columns and pyramid-shaped roof, evokes the tomb of Mausolus, a wonder of the ancient world that gave us the word “mausoleum.” Words carved in the limestone exterior express hope the building will “inspire patriotism and respect for the laws to the end that peace may prevail, justice be admin-istered, public order maintained and liberty perpetuated.”
The building’s surprisingly capacious interior, making extensive use of marble, includes a 500-seat auditorium, meeting rooms and a museum of military history. The inspiring Shrine Room on the third floor honors the soldiers who won the “war to end all wars.” Incorporating materi-als from all the Allies, the room features a huge American flag hanging vertically over an “Altar of Consecration.” The altar is surrounded by 24 fluted columns of dark red Vermont marble. High above the altar are blue lights and a crystal “Star of Destiny” from Sweden. Wall paintings depict the leading Allied soldiers. Marble stairways to the Shrine Room contain the names of all Hoo-siers who served in World War I.

attention in 1953 when Edward R. Murrow’s popular “See it Now” television series covered the American Legion’s controversial closing of the auditorium to the Indiana Civil Liberties Union. Those days are long gone and the building is open to the public Wednesdays to Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The next time you long to visit a world-class building, consider a trip to 431 North Meridian.

Commentary by Randy Sorrell
It seemed to occur overnight, but it was really a gradual three-to-five year transition. And, now
the romance of spending eve-nings in our perennial gardens deadheading and pruning feel
more like a dreaded blind date, mulching hurts and pruning is best left to the experts. Can I get an Amen?
TRIPLE THREATSo the emergence of our landscape “Triple
Threat” seems brilliant when essentially we are simply listening to our Baby Boomer clients and responding with a formal plan that delivers: 1) seasonal interest, 2) gobs of color and 3) low-maintenance living.
We boomers are a brilliant bunch and our defi-nition of booming is one filled with thrilling op-portunities, vigorous experiences, luxurious living and second careers … NOT hours crouched pulling weeds followed by mega doses of ibuprofen-laced cocktails. Interestingly, our children are listening and Gen X, Y and the Millennials are all digging our example. Imagine that.
Is there a prevailing “Triple Threat” compo-
OUTDOORS
Landscaping “triple threats” provide season interest, infusion of color and low-maintenance living. (Submitted photo)
And just like that … it happenednent? Low maintenance is mine, but yours may be gobs of color. I believe seasonal interest migrates to the bottom. We all want our outdoor spaces to have winter sizzle but when there’s five inches of snow on the ground and it’s 10 degrees, our passion for curved beds lined with evergreens and winter berries is a little muted. Our focus is how to get to a beach and shedding a few pounds to squeeze into last years faded swimsuit.
WHAT’S NEXT?We will certainly continue to expand our
“Triple Threat” strategies, but there are more ur-gent issues on the horizon. You probably echoed these words in the last few sunny days … “I need to find some shade” and “do the hydrangeas need watered today.” That’s what’s next.
Until then, pursue luxury outdoor living filled with: Seasonal interest. Gobs of color. Low-maintenance living.

Commentary by David Decker
Because of its versatile style, natural feeling and durable structure, hardwood has remained
one of the most enduringly trendy flooring options for gen-erations. In fact, it’s so popular
that homes containing hardwood flooring will often sell faster than homes without it. Choosing hardwood flooring is definitely a safe investment. But to get the most out of this investment, it’s extremely important to properly care for and maintain hardwood flooring. Water, pets, foot traffic and other environmental elements can all play a role in wearing down your hardwood floor-ing. Help your hardwood stay healthy by follow-ing these basic maintenance tips.
The key to maintaining hardwood happens before you even install it in your home. Be sure to inspect any rooms where you are considering hardwood. Try to figure out how much moisture and foot traffic the flooring will come in contact with. Certain types of hardwood are suscep-tible to moisture, which can cause the wood to splinter or bend. Additionally, excessive amounts of foot traffic can cause wear and tear to the planks. Scuffed and scratched floors can be refinished, but this process can get costly, es-pecially if you choose a softer wood that needs frequent repair.
If you’ve decided the room is a good fit for hardwood flooring, you’ll want to keep your hard-

wood protected and shiny by cleaning it regularly with water-based solutions. Remember that hardwood is susceptible to water damage, so never use a wet mop or let spills soak into the boards. You may even want to invest in a steam-cleaning mop, which will clean the floors without leaving behind water residue. Pay attention to the type of cleaning solution you are choosing. Abrasive chemicals can damage the flooring, usu-ally by stripping away the finish and leaving the planks looking dull and worn.
Wood can also be very suscepti-ble to scratching or dents, depend-ing on the type of wood finish that you choose. Dirt, sand or gravel that makes its way into your home could scratch the surface of your hardwood flooring. You’ll also want to sweep and vacuum your floor weekly to eliminate dust and par-ticles. A few strategically-placed rugs and mats wouldn’t hurt ei-ther. Ask your guests to wipe their feet before entering a room with hardwood flooring.
Unlike other flooring trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained popular for over 200 years. Its popularity certainly isn’t going away any time soon. So if you want to keep your hardwood looking shiny and new, proper
maintenance is vital. Consult the manufacturer’s guide or a flooring professional for cleaning tech-niques if you are unsure of how to care for your specific flooring.
