Youth Advisory Group gives students a chance to speak out
By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\
U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) wants to make sure young people have a voice in important issues. So the congresswoman decided to form a Youth Advisory Group. POLITICS “I am so encouraged Fifth District students have an opportunity to share their concerns and thoughts with me through the Youth Advisory Group,� Brooks stated. “Reaching out to young people is a Rapp priority of mine. During our recent meeting, participants identified and discussed vital priorities including the national debt, foreign affairs and veterans services.� Zionsville Community High School junior Urban Rapp and Carmel High School senior Logan Farrell were two of the students who attended the first meeting on Jan. 31. Both intend to return for the next meeting on April 18. “My dad has always been interested in politics, and I’ve met Susan Brooks a couple of times and I really do like her,� Rapp said. “Another reason I went is to get myself more involved in politics because I’m about the age when I’m going to be able to vote.� Rapp said the group talked about a variety of government issues, not just those pertaining specifically to teens. The national debt and veteran care were among the topics discussed, as well as the legalization of marijuana and school starting times. Rapp plans to enlist in the U.S. Army after he graduates from high school and attend college while in the military. “I plan to major in justice because later on I would
like to be a federal marshal,� Rapp said. Farrell, 18, was applying for West Point and the Air Force Academy. As a step in the process, Farrell learned he needed a nomination from a U.S. Senator or U.S. Congress member. So Farrell went to meet and greet Brooks before he requested an interview for the nomination. “She started talking about political issues and asked me what was important to me,� Farrell said. “She suggested I sign up for the Youth Advisory Group to get conFarrell nected with her and so she could get a better feel for who I was. My secondary goal turned out is I was interested in politics, which not many people my age are. I figured if I could contribute, then I might be able to make a difference and put in a voice for my peer group.� Farrell, an Eagle Scout, later learned he was medically disqualified from the Air Force because of a concussion and is going to enroll in Purdue’s School of Technology in the fall. Andy King, a staff assistant for Brooks, said 34 students came to the first meeting. King said the office posted on social media and included a writeup in the newsletter encouraging students to sign up through the website. Invitations were sent to the students that signed up, which now includes more than 60 students.

Zionsville ranked second safest in the nation By Heather Lusk “ ]Tfb/RdaaT]ciX^]beX[[T R^\ Zionsville can place another feather in its cap, as the town has been ranked the second safest city in the nation according to ADTsecurity.com. The analysis is based on data from the 2013 FBI Uniform Crime report. Each city received POLICE an overall safety score based on the number of violent crimes and property crimes, weighted accordingly and relative to population. The town’s safety score of 96.4 put it slightly behind Glen Cove, N.Y., which earned a safety score of 96.6. With a smaller population, Glen Cove had fewer burglaries per resident than Zionsville. Zionsville Police Chief Robert Knox wasn’t surprised at the ranking - aside from Zionsville being listed second instead of first. “The data doesn’t lie,� he said. “We can’t take credit for all of it, but I feel like we do our part by trying to maintain our stats as a safe community,� he said. “A slow day at the office is a good day for the community.� Despite the ranking, he cautioned that maintaining a safe community is something that needs to be important to everyone. “We can’t rest on our laurels,� he said. “It’s a team effort. Everybody in Zionsville is part of that team.� Zionsville was the only Indiana MORE INFO municipality in the top 25. Every city in the 2013 FBI crime report See the entire ranking at was analyzed.

The Zionsville Plan Commission last week voted, 4-0, to approve initial plans for a transitional care facility on County Road 700 E south of Oak Street. The 68,000-square-foot, two-story building on seven acres will contain about 90 beds for people who are recovering from surgeries and other medical procedures. Doug Peterson, vice president of development at Mainstreet Investments, said the goal of the facility
is to help people become independent enough to go back home. “It’s short-term rehabilitation in nature,� Peterson said. “We have a 20- to 30-day average stay.� Developers made some changes to the plans originally presented to nearby residents, including moving the building and parking lot north about 40 feet, eliminating some of the parking spaces, increasing landscaping and adding a 10-foot wide path along CR 700 E. Plan commissioners also voted to delay discussion on plans to rezone 75 acres owned by the Town of Zionsville within the DOW Planned Unit Development until next month. They also granted a continuance on a petition to rezone 18 acres at 10371 Zionsville Rd. from residential single family zoning district to a planned unit development. The next plan commission meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. April 20.

Our low income neighbors in Boone County are suffering from injustice, and the church wants to help. Boone County church representatives will meet at 8:30 a.m. March COUNTY 26 at The Scoop in Zionsville to talk about how we can better serve our neighbors in distress. While Boone County has its share of affluent areas, the county also includes people who are struggling to get by. In Lebanon, for example, in 2013 14.9 percent of the city’s residents were living below the poverty level. Those with little money often face a myriad of legal issues which, more often than not, they must face alone. Two of the most common legal needs low income neighbors face are home foreclosure and eviction. Many may not realize that Western Boone County is part of a swath of territory that suffers from the highest levels of foreclosure in the State of Indiana. Other legal needs include, for example, assistance for victims of fraud, drafting health care powers of attorney, family law matters including child custody and support, and creating guardianships for those who are cognitively impaired. Presently, an unacceptably high level of these
needs go unmet. A comprehensive 2008 study of the access to legal services for the poor in Indiana shows that about 86 percent of those living in poverty reported at least one legal problem. Being poor isn’t just an inconvenience; it brings its own legal problems. While precise estimates are difficult to come by, the data also suggest that in Indiana roughly 75 percent of our low income neighbors seeking counsel cannot find an attorney to help them. All too often, not having an attorney means simply suffering injustice. Our neighbors may suffer an unfairly lost home, lost money to consumer fraud or fail to get medical care because no one is legally able to make decisions for them. If you’d like to help change that, I’d like to invite you to our March 26 meeting. We will work together to organize the different parts of the Christian community into a well-functioning system for lending a helping hand to the poor who are suffering from injustice. Learn more by calling the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic at 429-4131. Bradley Merrill Thompson is a Zionsville resident, attorney and volunteer at the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic.

A legislative breakfast was held March 14 at Hussey Mayfield Memorial Public Library. What happened: A group of Indiana State Representatives and SenaGOVERNMENT tors spoke to the public on various topics, including the school funding formula. Who attended: State Representatives Tim Brown, Donna Schaibley and Jeff Thompson, and State Senators Phil Boots, Mike Delph and Brandt Hershman. Public audience in attendance. What was discussed: The main focus of the meeting was to update the public on the current progress of the state’s school funding formula and to interact with the public via a question and answer session. State senators and representatives first introduced themselves to the public and followed with various topics currently in discussion. Schools: Speakers stressed that school funding is key and that nothing is more critical. More funding is planned to be put toward the school formula than in the past few years, adding that the 2013 fiscal year had more than 50 percent of its budget funding K-12 education. Funding will continue to increase through 2017. An estimated $6.7 billion is to be used toward K-12 tuition support in the 2015 fiscal year, which will increase in the 2016 and 2017 fiscal years. “We spend $15 billion a year of state money, when you add federal money into that it’s about 28 to 29 billion a year,� said Rep. Tim Brown. “By far and away the largest expenditure for money is K-12 education. Our budget in the second year, we’ll spend 6.9 billion in general operations of K-12 education.� Increases in education funding over the biennium were approximately $469 million including a near 9 percent increase to the school funding formula’s foundation, benefitting every student. The proposed budgets would reduce the gap in per-student funding between the lowest and highest funded public schools, noting that different school districts have different, unique needs.
After the meeting, Rep. Tim Brown (R-Crawfordsville) speaks with a member of the audience.
In the per-student severe disabilities grant there will be an $8,000 increase and a $2,300 increase for the moderate disabilities grant. Other topics: Ongoing efforts to reduce the rates of infant mortality and domestic violence and increase sexual assault assistance, sexual assault prevention, as well as discussion of annexation on both local and state levels. A two-year state budget will be implemented this year that will be balanced, not exceeding the state’s ongoing revenue, prioritized in funding needs that best suit the public’s needs to support economic growth such as education and infrastructure. Questions from audience: Public members of the audience asked questions regarding local school funding action plans and how specifically the gaps in lower funded schools versus higher funded schools will be addressed, and how the free/reduced lunch programs offered at schools are regulated. Other questions pertained to plans for how Indiana’s current environmental state is being improved, such as local and state water quality and the overpopulation of deer in Eagle Park, how common construction wages will be addressed, concerns about funds collected from incarcerated individuals and their families that are then used toward law enforcement resources, and property tax distribution.

Carter Dunshee, who plans to attend again this year, with a Haitian child at the ministry complex.
Clare Leonard, a ZCHS senior last year, and her sister Colleen enjoyed the view from Onaville. “It’s not a mountain, it’s not a hill, but there’s a huge view,� said Colleen Leonard. “You can see all of the houses, all the people.� Morgan Cornacchini, one of the stud ent leaders along with Colleen Leonard, taught sports and games at the missiona ry complex.
Most college freshmen wouldn’t think to sacrifice their spring break to build a house. But most college freshmen haven’t been impacted by the children and families in Haiti like a group COVER STORY of former Zionsville Community High School students. For the past several years, these students have been spending their high school spring break near Port-au-Prince building homes, refurbishing a soccer field and leading sports camps for Haitian youth. And although they no longer attend ZCHS, this year is no different. Twelve college students from Indiana, Purdue and Samford universities spent the week of March 15 to 22 digging and preparing the foundation of a house. In a few days, 33 current ZCHS students will finish the first house and start work on a second one. That second house will be completed by a Zionsville high school group in the fall. In the meantime, Haitian masons hired by the group will prepare the walls, which will provide building stability and employment to local workers. When they’re not working on the house during their trip, the students on both trips will teach sports camps in several area towns, assist in the medical clinic and provide help wherever else it is needed in a ministries complex where they are stationed. The college students consist mostly of recent Zionsville graduates who have visited Haiti in years past and found the experience so meaningful they decided to form their own group so they could continue to help others. “We were so sad we couldn’t go with the high school anymore,� said Lizzy Follstad, who along with fellow graduate Luke Whitaker organized the group of college students. Dave Poindexter, president and CEO of I’m In, initiated the first ZCHS trip four years ago and provided direction to the college students when they decided they didn’t want their mission trip experience to end. “We got them connected with the same mission in Haiti, but we just made the connection,� he said. “They’re working directly with those guys.� “It’s been great to see that they’ve taken ownership of this,� said Kelly Antcliff, athletic director at the middle schools and sponsor of the trip. “They bought into this vision and are passionate about going down there and making a difference.� It’s that passion about making a difference that Poindexter appreciates. “They did some great stuff while they were in Haiti, but they come back and they do stuff on their own. They’re involved in service projects on college campuses,� he said. “We encourage kids of all ages to be involved in service projects locally, regionally and globally.� Although home construction is the focus of the trip, a highlight of past trips has been spending time with the Haitian children. Despite the language barrier, the students find it easy to connect and interact with the kids who attend the sports camps and other programs. “You don’t really need to talk,� said junior Colleen Leonard, who will be going to Haiti for the third time. “They use hand motions. There’s a lot of laughing.� The group brings sidewalk chalk, crayons and paper for the children, but Leonard felt that paint was their favorite. The children painted rocks as a craft but also painted each other and the Zionsville students. “The kids work harder than they probably ever have before, but it’s so rewarding,� Antcliff said. “They’re working right alongside a Haitian crew of workers.� They also learn to live with less. Without technology they learn to connect and communicate differently, and that follows them back home, Antcliff said. “We don’t need all of the things that we think are necessities here,� Follstad said. “I appreciate the happiness that they have from the simplest things.� The trip has made such a difference in Leonard’s life that she would like to work in the medical field in poverty stricken foreign countries. “They’re so content with so little they have,� she said. “It’s refreshing that they’re so joyful.� Submitted photos

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Sever government’s lengthening arm Our friends at Human Events sent a missive last week about the long arm of government getting longer. This time, the National Labor Relations Board on April 14 would like to make a law that businesses must provide employees’ phone numbers and personal email addresses. Who’s telling the jokes? The U.S. Senate already has defeated the measure, and this week the U.S. House of Representatives is going to vote on a Congressional Review Act resolution that the Senate has already passed to tell the NLRB to stop using government power to benefit union bosses. Last we heard, doling out workers’ personal contact information is a desecration of basic privacy entitlements and will inevitably lead to workers being targeted for harassment at the hands of union leadership. As your fellow Americans did with respect to the Senate vote, you should tell your House representative that you want privacy protected by sending a virtual “Do Not Disturb� letter at http://friends.channeldemocracy.com. And, as Human Events noted: Unlike the government’s proposal, this letter is voluntary. “ “ “ Last week, one of our managing editors, Robert Herrington, hit the nail squarely on the head, when he penned a column taking “nearly invisible� candidates to task. We’ll parrot here what he proffered. The act of public service is serious business, just as is running for public office. Many candidates have declared for the primary election, and some of them even attend public meetings, like those of councils and boards. Some. Others are content to just hit the trail. It seems to us that if one wants to serve, he or she should make it a point to attend and grasp the goings-on of such panels. Knowing the issues, challenges and opportunities and fully understanding them are separate animals. Ask your candidates (unless they already serve): Do you attend the meetings, and what have you gleaned from them? Then listen carefully. It will help you cast an informed vote on May 5. You are going to vote, correct? Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

A big week
Commentary by Terry Anker
It has been a big week. They all are; but, this one seems especially packed, back-to-back, with all the things that keep the adrenalin pumping. Life has a way of reminding us that it is in charge. In Singapore on business, Carolyn, my bride of almost a quarter century now, emailed to let me know that her Mom, self-sustaining and independent into her 90’s, needed to move from the condo, where she’d lived the whole of the 10 years since her husband of 55 years had passed, into a place where greater care could be given her – at least for a little while. So, Carolyn and the boys made the trip to north suburban Chicago to visit and check the transition. The very next day, I returned to the US and my family found its way home for our reuniting. Our oldest has discovered that competitive college ultimate Frisbee can be a dangerous contact sport. His surgery to repair the shoulder damage incurred a week or so back was scheduled; and
we wanted him to be home, rested, and ready to go. Work, delayed by inattention, piles up. Laundry, delayed by inattention, piles up, too. But with a bit of triage and good luck, we hit the necessary, review the less pressing, and hold-on to the rest. Life is unimpressed with our project management skills. Word came that Carolyn’s Mom died a little more than a day after the visit. While unwelcomed, the news was not unanticipated. So, we’ve planned arrangements. We helped our boy through his surgery (all went as hoped). We worked a little (I even wrote a column). We managed to wash a few delicates. And, it’s only Wednesday. Maybe the best thing to do when life overflows is to let it. Could we stop it if we tried and would it really matter? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.� 3P]]h :PhT
How would you react if your son caught the winning TD pass in the Super Bowl? Would you cheer? Cry? Twerk? I did all three when my extremely constipated 4-month-old son finally managed to “pass his own football� after an hour of straining and screaming. Honestly, I couldn’t have been prouder! The next morning, our momentary trauma long-forgotten, I vowed to add juice to his diet, and that was that. Then, five years later and still constipationignorant, I found myself at a Promptcare with an obscenely hot physician, trying to explain how, even with laxatives and a children’s enema, my infant daughter couldn’t go. I watched in horror as he nonchalantly “extracted� the blockage with a Q-tip and then lectured me on the importance of dietary fiber. Not my finest parenting moment, to be sure. Now, thanks to another child, I’m finally an expert on children’s constipation. He’s had it so bad that we’ve been seeing a pediatric G.I. for more than two years. Part of his problem is his diet, which rarely sees a fruit or a vegetable, but the other part is just his body. His intestinal tract hasn’t matured enough yet to process foods properly. There’s nothing I can do for his genetics, which I blame entirely on my husband, but I can address what he eats. Unfortunately, that’s a lot easier said than done. After all, he can’t down 12 espressos to stimulate his bowels, and Mueslix just tastes nasty. Our main course of action has been Miralax, which is exactly as the name implies, a miracle laxative. The beauty is it’s “tasteless, odorless, and dissolves instantly in liquid,� so I can sneak it in hot chocolate fairly easily. Next up are the fiber supplements. Two candy-like tablets a day plus Benefiber sprinkled on and in anything he eats. We’ve also switched out Wonder Bread for its brilliant imposter, whole-grain white, and changed to iron-free vitamins. As for the MIA fruits and veggies, he’s only come on board with canned pears and peeled apples, neither of which provide much fiber, but it’s a start. Hypothetically, we should be able to wean him off all this subversive counter-constipation “crap� any time now, but on the few occasions when we’ve forgotten to administer his “meds� for several days, he’s reverted right back to a strung-out 6 year old, red-faced and crying on the toilet. According to his doctor though, he’s a healthy normal little boy who may just have to deal with a laxative addiction. And I’m okay with that, as long as he says “Hi Mom!� while holding the Lombardi trophy. Poop out! Please!

Policing predictability on TV Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Ever notice that on TV that when a cop knocks on a suspect’s door, the guy is always home? Don’t bad guys ever go to a HUMOR flick or an afternoon heist? Usually it’s the suspect’s old lady (a term gangsters always use) who answers the door. She says he’s not there while he is sneaking out the back window.  Let’s station a few officers at those back windows. I know Cagney and Lacey are looking for work. And when a murderer throws someone out a window, the victim always lands on a car hood, never the street. With alternate side of the street parking, the odds are you’re going hit the pavement half the time. Watch SWAT teams on TV. Everyone is wearing bullet-proof vests and crash helmets, and carrying a protective shield—except the stars of the show, who sport a nice sweater vest and cap that says FBI or NYPD. It might as well say: “I’M A CELEBRITY: DON’T SHOOT ME.� Why does every cop on TV have a female partner who is gorgeous? This wouldn’t seem the type of profession to attract such a beauty. Why
would a woman like that want to investigate a murder? Did you just say “because she’s dropdead gorgeous?� STOP, you’re killing me! Police always show bartenders pictures of suspects. The bartender shrugs claiming he doesn’t recognize the person, so the cop threatens to report that his beer glasses are dirty. All of a sudden, a brainstorm: “Yeah, she was in here three weeks ago Tuesday wearing a yellow blouse and tight blue skirt with a man about 20 years older who had  gray hair and a tattoo on his neck.� Don’t underestimate the power of the Board of Health. Well, I gotta go. Someone is banging on the front door. I hope my old lady left the back window open. 3XRZ WPb \P]h \^aT ^QbTaePcX^]b PQ^dc RaX\T ^] CE ATPS cWT T]cXaT R^[d\] Pc RdaaT]ciX^]beX[[T R^\

There’s always something to be learned from trivia
Commentary by Ward Degler
Somebody out there knows I’m a trivia nut. I just got a bunch of useless facts in my e-mail. When the Trivial Pursuit game PLAIN TALK came out, I played it every day, even when no one else would play with me. When we traveled, I always took a box of the cards along to play on the road. “Okay sweetie, here’s a geography question, what’s the capital of Ecuador?� From the list: Did you know that if you drop a raisin into a glass of champagne, it will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top? I once mentioned this at a wedding reception, which caused the slightly inebriated best man to go roaring off in search of raisins. By the time he got back, the champagne was gone. Not to be defeated, he left again to buy more champagne. This time he returned to discover someone had eaten the raisins. By then he was thirsty again, so he just poured himself another glass of champagne and forgot the whole thing. A duck’s quack doesn’t echo. No one knows why. And cats can’t cough, but I swear my old cat used to try when working up a hairball. In the movie blooper department, if you check out the chariot race in Ben Hur, you will see a small red car in the distance. Yep, I’ve seen it. And the silent movie star Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.
Donald Duck was once banned in Finland because he wore no pants. From the harmonious marriage department, the phrase “rule of thumb� came from an old English law that forbid a man from beating his wife with anything wider than his thumb. That’s probably when the phrases “I’ve got a headache� and “go sleep on the couch� were created. Not all whacky marriage laws came from England. In Bellingham, Wash., there was once a law that prohibited a woman from taking more than three steps backward while dancing. The reason the Motorola company was called Motorola was because their first ever product was a record player for automobiles. Another interesting music fact: the very first CD pressed in the USA was Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA.� All girls named Wendy owe it to the character in Peter Pan. The name was invented for the story. The very first bomb dropped on Berlin during World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo. I guess Churchill didn’t like elephants. And finally, the Guinness Book of World Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from public libraries. And, oh yeah, the capital of Ecuador is Quito.

Creativity Uncorked a success in Zionsville debut
By Dawn Pearson “ ]Tfb/RdaaT]ciX^]beX[[T R^\ For the past several years, the Arc of Greater Boone County has been cultivating “Arc Artisans� by hosting an annual art show, which has gained a loyal following. FUNDRAISER The artisans are clients who receive professional instruction as they create canvasses, scarves, notecards and other items to sell. Last year, the Arc expanded its commitment to the arts by launching a traveling social event called Creativity Uncorked. It provides an opportunity for attendees to paint their own canvas while receiving instruction from a professional, enjoying drinks and shopping work created by the Arc Artisans. “Creativity Uncorked is a wine and canvas experience that we bring to you,� said Marcia Clutter, a spokesperson for the Arc of Greater Boone County. “Guests give a donation to The Arc of Greater Boone County and are treated to an evening of fun, food and an art project led by our professional teaching artist, Bella Heilbrunn.� During the event – which can be held almost anywhere – attendees use their own styles, techniques and colors to create a unique piece of artwork.
Jackie and Brent Cardin worked on a project together at the first Creativity Uncorked event in Zionsville. BdQ\XccTS _W^c^
Creativity Uncorked made its Zionsville debut March 12 during Disability Awareness Month. About 80 people attended, which raised more than $5,000 for the Arc and led to the booking of several additional Creativity Uncorked events. Clutter hopes the event will return to town at the same time next year to help promote the Arc and its mission. “We are very excited about our new Zionsville event, which we plan to do annually,� Clutter said. “We believe that it will be a very sought after invitation, and sponsors will be very happy to be a part of it.�

Classic steak sandwich layers the flavor Commentary by Ceci Martinez Surprise your family this week with this fantastic, classic American steak sandwich. You can have this irresistible and satisfying meal ready in a flash. The recipe is best on crisp mini focaccia buns. This little sandwich is full of layers of flavors, from the sweetness of the golden caramelized onions, the bed of spicy arugula, the tender and juicy steak to the mustard mayo. You can accompany this recipe with your favorite bowl of soup. STEAK SANDWICH Serves: 2 Ingredients: 1 (12-ounce) boneless top sirloin steak, salt, freshly ground black pepper, olive oil, 2 yellow onions, sliced in rings, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, 2 mini focaccia buns, sliced in half, 1/2 cup baby arugula Mustard mayo: 3/4 cup good mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1/8 teaspoon salt Directions: Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium sautÊ pan over high heat until it’s almost smoking, then sear the steak on each side for one minute. Reduce the
heat to low and cook the steak for about seven to 10 minutes, turning once, rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Slice the steak into strips. Using the same pan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, sugar, thyme and sautÊ for 10 minutes, until the onions are brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally. Warm up focaccia in the oven. To assemble sandwiches, spread a tablespoon of mustard mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Place a layer of the steak strips on top of the mayo, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with the caramelized onion rings. Place the baby arugula on top of the onion rings, and cover the sandwich with the top half of the buns. Mustard mayo: Whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl - makes 1 cup. Serve at room temperature. Ceci is a Zionsville resident, who was born in New York and raised in Peru. For more of Ceci’s recipes, visit www. currentzionsville.com.

Lifestyle choices affect vision Commentary by Tammy Wittmann
Most people know diabetes can cause blindness, but did you know that smoking can? Did you know that sun exposure in EYESIGHT the off-peak hours can be more harmful to vision than that of peak hours? Did you know that high cholesterol and hypertension can also cause blindness? There are many eye diseases which used to be only related to age like cataracts, and macular degeneration. But due to many of the lifestyle choices that we make, we are seeing these and other eye diseases earlier. Smoking is probably the most surprising to patients. There is a large correlation between smoking and cataracts and macular degeneration, and because smoking raises your risk for cardiovascular disease, strokes in the eye can cause blindness. The more you smoke the higher the risk. Smoking also increases the risk of serious vision loss in someone who already has other eye diseases. But the good news is that after you quit smoking, the risk becomes almost as low as for those who never smoked. We all know to avoid direct sun exposure, especially during the peak hours of the day. However, reflected sun rays are the ones that
can do a lot of harm. And because the sun is at a lower point in the sky during off-peak hours, we get more reflected light into the eye during that time. UV rays from the sun are very damaging in and around the eye and can cause macular degeneration, cataracts, dry eye and even cancer in and around the eye. And lastly, many systemic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol are all vascular diseases which affect the tiny vasculature in the eyes. With diabetes the blood vessels become leaky and we see a lot of bleeding in the eyes. With cardiovascular diseases you can have a blockage, which can cause a stroke inside the eye, leading to vision loss. We cannot control our genetics but we can control our lifestyle choices. It’s important to eat well, exercise, stop smoking and wear protective coverings. It is equally important to have your annual eye examination since most eye diseases do not present symptoms until it’s too late. Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.
Reconciling yoga and Christianity Commentary by Dr. Sally Brown Bassett When I began practicing yoga on a regular basis in the ’90s, I questioned if this was a conflict with my Christian beliefs. Yoga BODY is not a religion, but in time I realized the yoga process, or The Eight Limbs of Yoga, takes you closer to a Higher Source, whatever that is for each person. Even though most Westerners view yoga as a physical practice, the actual point is to unite oneself with God. The physical practice (Limb 3 of 8) prepares you for withdrawing from the senses, going inward to focus and pray, and eventually meditating and being with God. In prayer we talk to God, and in meditation we listen to God. Not to offend any Christian traditions, but I have found we do not listen enough. Is it really so hard to find time to truly experience God through this often overwhelming concept called meditation? We go to church to praise God but are we really taking the time to feel His presence? Yoga means the union of the mind, body and
spirit. By getting on the yoga mat on a regular basis, I immediately feel myself experience a sense of peace and a spiritual connection. When I follow the 8 Limbs of Yoga, it takes me to an even deeper level. In the book The Wisdoms of Jesus and the Yoga Siddhas by Marshall Govindan, it was “revealed that recent research by independent scholars has uncovered many details about what Jesus taught, which when compared to the teachings of classical yoga, indicates close similarities both in what he practiced, and what he realized.” With that all said, I hope you will consider yoga as a way to draw closer to God. Dr. Sally Brown Bassett is a yogi, social entrepreneur and world traveler. She is the founder and president of Peace through Yoga Foundation, where she leads trips to Costa Rica several times a year and works at the foundation’s International Center for Peace. Sally teaches at Peace through Yoga and Butler University. She can be reached at sally.bassett@peacethroughyoga.com.

I think we’re on to something… Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, please help me! I’ve got a new co-worker at the office who is a real stickler for gramGRAMMAR GUY mar rules. I’m pretty sure he even posted an anonymous correction to a company-wide memo once in the break room. Today he sent me an e-mail basically telling me I’m an idiot because I used ‘onto’ wrong. Can you straighten me out?” Answer: Yeesh … that guy sounds like a real peach. Even I would never call someone out to the whole company’s e-mail list. (Side note: I was going to say “the whole company’s listserv,” but apparently that’s a trademarked word with a capital ‘L.’ Who knew?) There are three prepositions you need to master here: “on,” “onto” and “on to.” “On” and “onto” are both used to refer to a position in relation to a concrete noun. “On to,” which we’ll talk about last, can be a bit more abstract. To start simple, “on” is used as “a function word to indicate position in contact with and
supported by the top surface of” something. You can sit on a chair. A cup can rest on a table. Your cat can lie on your keyboard. “Onto” is used to indicate movement to a position on an object. “Onto” is an action preposition, if there were such a thing. You walk onto a stage. You fall onto your bed. Your cat leaps onto your face. You get the picture. “On to” is used abstractly to indicate progress toward something, e.g. “moving on to bigger and better things.” “On to” is not used with concrete nouns. To summarize, you need to tell your co-worker to stop getting on your case. Tell him you’re onto him and his shenanigans, and that he needs to move on to a new hobby. And then pat yourself on the back for how clever that was. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@gmail.com.

Visit where Jesus wept
Commentary by Don Knebel
On the day Christians remember as the first Palm Sunday, Jesus rode a donkey down the Mount of Olives from Bethpage to TRAVEL Jerusalem. All four Gospels report that Jewish followers acknowledged him as their Messiah by strewing branches (or coats) in his path, an event memorialized in a church near where the so-called “triumphal journey� began. Another church about halfway down the hill honors a less-well-known event during Jesus’ ride. Its construction unearthed some tantalizing suggestions about his earliest followers. Jesus’ ride to Jerusalem followed a narrow road heading west toward the Kidron Valley that lies between the Mount of Olives and the eastern wall of the Temple Mount. According to the Gospel of Luke, as Jesus neared Jerusalem and saw the gleaming temple, he wept as he contemplated the city’s impending siege and destruction. In 70 A.D., as he reportedly predicted, Roman soldiers demolished the temple following a long and deadly siege of Jerusalem. Because the Gospel of Luke was written after the destruction of the temple, many Biblical scholars believe hindsight played a role in the report of Jesus’ prophetic weeping. The Crusad-

ers who conquered Jerusalem in 1099 were not so skeptical. Desiring to plant a church wherever they could identify a Biblical tradition, Crusaders built a church where they believed Jesus had wept for the city. The church became a mosque when Saladin recaptured Jerusalem in 1187 and later fell into ruins. In the 1950s, the Franciscans built a church known as “Dominus Flevit� (the Lord Wept) near the site of the original Crusader church. The small church, in the form of a teardrop, honors Luke’s story of Jesus’ weeping. An arched window beside a “crown of thorns bush� provides a spectacular view of the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock now atop it. During construction of Dominus Flevit, workers uncovered small stone boxes called “ossuaries� first century Jews used to store the bones of their dead. A few ossuaries include what some believe are Christian markings, perhaps indicating that people who welcomed Jesus on the first Palm Sunday may have chosen to rest forever along his path.

Loose gutters – Years ago, spikes and ferrules were a common method for hanging gutters. They do the job all right, but eventually the spikes work themselves loose. Pounding them back in is a temporary fix at best. One way to make sure your gutter doesn't fall off the house is to install fascia hanger brackets. Installation is simple: Just hook the bracket under the front lip of the gutter, and then screw the other side of the bracket to the fascia. Leave the old spikes in place – a spike head looks better than a hole in the gutter. If your shingles overhang your fascia by a few inches or you have steel roofing, buy the brackets with the screws built in (pictured). They cost more, but the head of the screw remains a couple of inches away from the fascia, making them a lot easier to install.

The combination of downward force and vibration is tough on the work surface. Reduce marring by applying a layer or two of masking tape to the base of the jigsaw. Remove the tape when you're done so it doesn't leave a sticky residue on the base. Source: www.familyhandyman.com

For generations, homeowners have been adding New York City modernist style to their kitchens and bathrooms by installing INDOORS subway tiles. These rectangular shaped tiles are excellent for creating a current, contemporary look that still feels very timeless. In 2015, subway tiles are being used in everything from backsplash designs to flooring and much more. The subway tile design first debuted in the New York City underground subway system back in the early 1900s. The sleek, contemporary design quickly caught on with the general public, and soon the entire country was decorating kitchens and bathrooms with 3- by 6-inch, rectangular “subway� tiles. Over 100 years have passed since those first tiles were laid, and subway tiles remain as popular as ever. Ceramic is still the most popular material for the tiles to be crafted from, because it is easy to clean and maintain. However, subway tiles can be found in almost every color, texture and finish imaginable. The two most popular places where homeowners install subway tiles are in the kitchen and bathroom. But they’ve made the leap into other spaces that benefit from easy-care surfaces such as laundry rooms, basements and fireplace surrounds. Visually, the shape of the tile tends to draw the eye upward, which makes the space seem wider and the ceilings appear higher. This is especially true for the larger-sized subway tiles. In terms of maintenance, ceramic subway tiles are tough enough to withstand heavy usage for decades. Simply clean the ceramic tiles with mild, nonabrasive soap to keep them looking shiny and new. In 2015, a few subway tile trends to look out for center on tile placement, color selection, and grout choice. Shifting the direction of the tiles
Updated subway tiles provide timeless look. BdQ\XccTS _W^c^
can radically alter the look you are creating. Many homeowners are choosing to install subway tiles vertically, instead of horizontally, which makes the ceiling look higher than it actually is. This trend is being utilized in shower surrounds and bathrooms so that small spaces feel a little more luxurious. You can even use subway tiles to create distinctive border or frame patterns as well. Subway tiles are an excellent way to throw in a pop of color that won’t overwhelm the space. Popular colors this season include solid black, and bold primary colors such as Mediterranean blue, deep scarlet or mustard yellow. Use these in your kitchen or vanity backsplash to contrast with a more traditional cabinetry design for a contemporary look. And once a color choice has been selected, choosing a grout color that contrasts with the design is one way of putting a 2015 spin on the subway tile. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.
What to ask them before hiring Commentary by Bob Wasson
The time of year when homeowners take a closer look at their yards and begin to imagine the possibilities at hand. After LANDSCAPING 38 years of helping families make their property more beautiful, and more functional, I’ve learned that you can help identify qualified landscaping professionals by answering five questions: Would you drive his or her truck? Landscape architecture is about attention to detail and aesthetics. These qualities ought to be evident in every aspect of your landscaper’s business – including the appearance of its vehicles. How many employees does the company have? Is the company a one-person operation or is it comprised of a team of landscaping professionals that can complete a project in a few hours instead of taking several days? How long has the company been in the landscaping business? Experience is impor-
tant. You don’t want to pay someone to learn how to landscape by practicing – and making mistakes – in your yard. Where do their plants and trees come from? Plants and trees grown in the southern part of the United States are often sold at big box stores and may be less expensive, but they also are far less suited to survive an Indiana winter. Can the company give you credible references? Before you invest in an outdoor living space or new landscaping, be sure to ask for references. Remember, landscaping is an investment, not an expense. Choose a reputable landscaper, and it’s one of the best investments in your home you could possibly make. Bob Wasson is president of operations at Wasson Nursery in Muncie. He may be reached at (765) 759-9000.
