88-year-old man donates handmade blankets to ZPD to comfort kids By Heather Collins news@currentzionsville.com Clayton Shelburne is comforting children across Boone County by providing them with the warmth and security of a police brand new blanket. Shelburne, 88, has donated handmade fleece blankets that will be placed in each of the Zionsville Police Dept. patrol cars. “Years ago the patrolmen used to have teddy bears that they would give to kids in crisis, so I came up with the idea of giving them blankets,” Shelburne said. Shelburne began making blankets with his late wife, Deloris, through their camping club and church, New Hope Christian Church in Whitestown. Previously, he had only worked on part of the blanket-making process. Last December, Shelburne decided he wanted to try his hand at making the blankets on his own. “I love to make them. I like to do things using my hands, which I’ve always done most of my life. I know, at least I think I know, that some kids at least somewhere down the line will benefit from the blankets,” he said. “I just did it from the bottom of my heart.” Shelburne, a Zionsville resident, said he hopes the children are comforted by the blankets. The blankets are decorated with animal prints, bright colors, teddy bears and paw prints. “When you can give (kids) some kind of tangible item like this, it just means so much for the psychology of it all. They can be a kid.” ZPD Chief Robert Knox said. “Mr. Shelburne is just the sweetest guy. It’s just such a nice thing.

We were more than happy to receive his generous donation. I carry one in in my car.” Shelburne said it takes about a little more than an hour to create each blanket. He has donated 38 blankets to the police department and said he will continue to replenish the blankets as they are given to children throughout the community. “It’s more of a goodwill gesture toward the kids looking up to a patrolman as a friend instead of enemy. They are friends of kids,” he said. Shelburne is working on a batch of blankets to donate to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office. He said his time is free and the material is purchased using donations from family, friends and community members.

By Heather Lusk news@currentzionsville.com A new campaign featuring four Riley kids includes a girl from Zionsville. Six-year-old riley foundation Averi Delgado can now see her face on digital and static billboards around the city. Averi was born with a congenital heart defect and Down syndrome. Her heart was repaired at Riley Hospital for Children. She receives all of her care there. “We’re so grateful for them,” said Averi’s mother, Vicki Delgado. “We’re there fairly often, but we love it. They’re very good to us.” Averi’s father, a Riley doctor, was asked if the Riley Foundation could feature her during Heart Month in February. Averi loved the photo shoot with her father. Some of the images were used in the new campaign. After being featured in the blog, the family was asked by Riley if it could use Averi in the billboard campaign. “One thing led to another,” Vicki Delgado said. One of four siblings, Averi loves music

and riding a therapy horse every week. The campaign’s goal is to encourage residents to select the Riley license plate. A $25 tax-deductible gift from the purchase of each license plate goes to the Riley Children’s Foundation. Each year, the foundation raises roughly $40,000 through the plates for Riley Hospital to fund maternity and neonatal health programs, research and family support programs. Children from Bloomington, Noblesville and Greenwood also are featured in the campaign. The billboards are scheduled to run through June. In 2016, 16,327 Indiana motorists had a Riley red wagon specialty license plate. Motorists can visit MyRileyPlate.org, or any Indiana license branch, and request a Riley plate.

TPCA has experienced record enrollment in recent years, and the new building will allow the school to serve nearly three times as many students at the high school level as it can now. “It’s pretty obvious that we’re growing, and we need to be a greater part of the community,” TPCA Chief Advancement Officer Ryan Gallagher said. “This is our opportunity to raise awareness about who we are and what we do.” TPCA also will host an open house at the new high school after the race. Guests can enjoy food as they tour the new building. “People can come as they wish and take a tour or just hang out and get some breakfast.

Gardens flourish at St. Francis By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com St. Francis-In-The-Fields Community Gardens have kept growing in the past six years. philanthropy The gardens are on the east side of St. Francis-In-The-Fields Episcopal Church, 1525 Mulberry St., Zionsville. “We have between 60 and 70 plots, (depending) on how many we open up,” said Ingrid Schwegler Cole, coordinator for the community gardens project. “We have two types of plots. We have plots we rent out to individual gardeners, which could be community members or congregation members. For those, we ask the gardeners to make a donation of 10 percent of their produce, which will be distributed to two food pantries.” The pantries are at Zionsville Presbyterian Church and the Caring Center in Lebanon. About one-fourth of the garden space is reserved for nonprofit organizations, perhaps another church or Boys and Girls Club. “Those groups will donate 100 percent of their produce to the food pantries,” said Schwegler Cole, who lives in Zionsville near

the church. The gardens started in 2011. “In the beginning there was only about half of what we have today,” Schwegler Cole said. “It worked well, so we decided to double the area that is being rented out.” Some gardeners rent one plot while others rent two, Schwegler Cole said. “We have water available and hoses, which not all the gardens have,” Schwegler Cole said. “This year for the first time we are requiring chemical-free gardening.” A Facebook page about the gardens was created this month. Applications for lease of the garden plots are available each spring for the following summer. For information, contact info@ stfranciszville.org.

ZWEST student earns statewide honor for helping kids in need By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Tara Harmon got her first exposure to the plight of the homeless after leaving an Indiana Pacers game three years ago. cover story “It was cold and dark, and I saw a little kid and his mom on the street,” she said. “That’s what started me thinking.” Tara became determined to help underprivileged children her own age. “Each project has motivated me to do more after I saw how appreciative the kids were and how much it seemed to help them,” Tara said. “I love doing it.” The Zionsville West Middle School eighth-grader’s dedication has helped her earn the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards’ middle-school level honor for Indiana, which recognizes students for making a difference in their community. She will receive the award during a May 6-9 trip to Washington, D.C. The four-day trip includes visiting historic sites and joining other honorees on a community service project. Tara, 14, has secured $4,000 in grants and donations in the past three years to provide weekend meals, healthy snacks and school uniforms for kids in need. In fifth grade she completed her first project, raising money to provide 200 school uniforms for students at Indianapolis Public Schools’ School 69. Tara had identified that school, then known as Joyce Kilmer Academy, as one that had a high rate of free-and-reduced lunches. “Originally I was going to get school supplies, but they

Next mission Tara Harmon said she hopes her next project will combine her love of swimming and community service. “I want to do a swim clinic for kids with autism, because it’s something close to my heart,” Harmon said. Harmon has been swimming since she was 4 years old. Her brother, Tyler, just finished a standout career at Zionsville Community High School and will swim for Yale next season. Tyler, who was on the winning 200-yard medley relay team and second in the 100 backstroke Feb. 25 at the state meet, won the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s Mental Attitude Award for boys swimming. “When he was swimming, and I was in the stands, I wanted to swim,” Harmon said. Her favorite stroke now is the backstroke. “Just like Tyler,” Sherry said.

said they really needed uniforms to prevent bullying,” Tara said. She received a $500 Student All-Star Grant from the Indianapolis Colts and Grange Insurance and $1,000 from Walmart during the 2013-14 school year. “One of our neighbors worked for Walmart, and we weren’t able to provide enough uniforms with the original grant, and I wanted to give more,” Tara said. “After I talked to our neighbor, we were able to talk to Walmart about donating money.” Sharon Wade, community school coordinator at Kindezi Academy at Joyce Kilmer School 69, praised Harmon’s multiple contributions to the school, which became a charter school in 2016. “She is an awesome young lady,” Wade said. “I can see her going far in life. Her mother is awesome, too. Her mother brought tons and tons of books to donate to Tara Harmon grows the school.” vegetables in her Wade said one year she brought some of the other stugarden to donate to dents from her middle school to distribute the fruit and the Zionsville Food vegetables.

(Submitted tor some of the students, Wade said. photo) To encourage healthy eating, Tara and her mother, Sherry Harmon, started a vegetable garden that provided produce for the Zionsville Food Pantry. They started the garden in the summer of 2014 with the help of a grant from Katie’s Krops, a nonprofit. “We actually went to a garden camp to learn how to garden in South Carolina,” Sherry said. Tara said she was nervous how the crops would turn out. “Once I got started, it was really fun,” she said. “We tried to plant a variety. We tried planting tomatoes, eggplants, strawberries, blueberries. The thing that works the best is cucumbers. We’ve had some success with eggplant and tomatoes.” The next project started after she learned that without subsidized school lunches, many students at summer camp don’t have good meals on weekends. “While we were there we saw teachers doing bags for kids and asked about it,” Tara said. “We were told it was for the kids who didn’t have meals on the weekend.” She used a grant from Youth Service America Sodexo and other donations, along with produce from her garden, to provide 100 weekend meal packages to summer camp in 2015. “I went with friends to grocery stores, and we Tara Harmon, third from right, and Zionsville Community High bought different kinds of foods the kids could have,” School student Ainsley Brown, right, with students from IPS Tara said. “We packed them up and brought them to the School 69 in the summer of 2015.

Plan the fish fry

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker College towns win big. The local economy benefits from the higher-than-average per capita spending of students (and their benefactors – parents and taxpayers). Small-town communities that host significant campuses have seen property values and incomes surge even as peer cities without the industrial locus of higher-ed have almost universally stumbled. Moreover, these places tend to see increased levels of education attainment. As the adage goes, folks are being taught to fish rather than being given a fish. The longterm civic advantage of a well-educated population is thoroughly documented and acknowledged. Indiana State Sen. Luke Kenley has offered a budget amendment to include capital investments into the campuses of Ivy Tech Community College to the tune of $40.2 million for Kokomo and $38.7 million for Muncie. Although not part of our own central Indiana region, it can only serve our larger community. The Kokomo facility was decimated by a tornado this past August. Were it not for the Herculean effort made by students and staff, no learning would be occurring. As to Muncie, it, like all good things, has been a victim of its own success. Thousands of high-paying Indiana jobs go unfilled because Hoosiers cannot access the instruction required to meet demand. Investment in Ivy Tech will reap benefits far in excess of the expense for many years to come. Although there are numerous demands on taxpayers, investments in infrastructure, education and other areas that teach people to fish makes sense. Let’s plan the fish fry.

Why I joined the Navy Commentary by Ward Degler My wife asked recently why I applied for a commission in the U.S. Navy when I had already spent two plain talk years in the Army. Good question. After all, I had served my country honorably during the end of the Korean War era as a combat medic in Germany. The war was over, but someone still had to patch up GIs who got run over by taxicabs in Paris or who drank too much German beer before getting astride a notoriously hot German motorcycle. Besides, I had gotten my degree, had worked through the ranks as a reporter and editor for a small daily newspaper and had just been hired by The Associated Press to help cover statewide news. Why would I want to rejoin the military? Especially since hostilities were building at an alarming rate in Vietnam? As I said, good question. Maybe I wasn’t sure I wanted a career with the AP. The bureau chief there worked 80 hours a week and had already had two heart attacks. He was only 40. Or maybe I was enticed by the exciting description of Navy life presented by the local recruiter. Master Chief Young was one of the first “super chiefs” in the navy. He and his family had been around the world. Give it three years, he said, and I could do the same. Besides, the Navy needs trained photojournalists.

The Navy kept Chief Young’s promise. I saw a lot. I saw the South China Sea from the deck of a vintage World War II destroyer when the Chinese took over the offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu. They plotted our every move, and officers on our ship plotted theirs. I saw the abject poverty that ruled the city streets in Taiwan. And the human trafficking that operated under the radar in the Philippines. I also feasted on the warm hospitality of the people and the indescribable beauty of both countries. A year later, assigned to the Naval Photographic Center in Washington, D.C., I found myself in charge of the White House photo lab. It didn’t matter that I never met the president and never set foot inside the White House. John F. Kennedy was our nation’s leader — a Navy man like us. That was enough. Then, my photo crew got the tragic assignment to document our president’s funeral. That was more than I had signed up for, and I left the Navy shortly after. Chief Young was right. I stretched three years into four, and I saw a lot. Most of it was good. All of it was important. None will I ever forget. Maybe that was why I joined the Navy. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.” You may contact him at ward.degler@gmail. com.

I made it! I survived a 15-hour car ride through the night that included, but was not limited to, stream-ofhumor consciousness, high-volume diatribes from three teenagers; the constant threat of severe weather; an honest-to-God highway collapse; and a very early morning rendezvous with my husband Doo at the Atlanta airport car rental drop-off. I credit a poorly-made CD of “The Sound of Music” and the promise of sand and sleep for this miraculous feat of driving. Go, me! Yes, friends, for the first time in five years, I am enjoying a spring break vacation with my beloved family (actually, I am missing one child, as she is a member of a militant color guard team and was denied leave. I did consider staying to support her at their national competition, but after about three seconds, opted for vacay). Usually, because I teach in a neighboring school district with a different calendar, I’ve wallowed in Midwest self-pity while they frolic along Floridian beaches. But thanks to a unique alignment of Jupiter and Mars, we had the same week off in April. Woo-hoo! So here I am, two days post-drive, feeling almost like myself again. I’ve slept for 10 hours both nights, already had my coralpainted toes in the Gulf, and unlike Doo and Boy Twin, have successfully avoided Fifth Disease-esque sunburn. And yesterday (gulp), we ate a real dinner, (tear) at a real table, (full-on weeping), all together! Because that is what family vacation is all about - spending time with each other sans the distractions of the daily grind. Re-establishing connections that have been pushed by the wayside. And laughing at my terrible rendition of “Edelweiss” while making fun of Doo’s splotchy red chest. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Costco has never been hijacked Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

KENA HOLLINGSWORTH Founding Partner

My Costco cart was laden with soft drinks, garbage bags, a snow tire and a year’s supply of salsa. I was humor in a good mood because I had managed to circle around several demo tables and inhale a dozen different offerings without being fingered as a “repeat sampler.” The employee at the exit door looked me over head to toe. He was holding something behind his back. Could it have been some kind of breath-analyzer to detect whether I had eaten too much free food? He asked me for my receipt but never actually looked in my cart; he just peered at my list of purchases and then at me, which I think is considered facial profiling. Suddenly, he whipped out a yellow highlighter. Would I soon receive that sought-after stripe that squiggles down the list and shows that you have truly arrived? Actually, it shows that you have truly left. OK, so what’s that stripe really for? No one checks your items. You could have murdered the lady behind the lunch counter for taking too long to serve your pizza, stuffed her on the bottom rack of the cart next

to a 12-pack of Coors Light and you’d still proudly make your way to the parking lot with a yellow stripe on that receipt. Truth is, the precautionary measures at Costco are far better than at the airport. Recently, I handed a gate agent my ticket, showed her two pieces of ID, took off my shoes and was herded through a metal detector. “You call that security?” I asked the agent. “Why don’t you guys put a yellow stripe down my ticket like they do at Costco?” “Why do they do that, sir?” “I have no idea, but they are very meticulous about it and everyone gets free quiche and egg rolls.” I’m going to write a letter to the TSA recommending they adopt the Costco approach to security. They may think this is a stupid idea, but here’s the truth: At the Costco on 86th in Castleton, there has never been a hijacking.

Never run a marathon? Well, you can do it

Commentary by Christa Robertson

Regardless of your current level of physical activity, the idea of running a marathon shouldn’t scare you. But it’s a process. The key is to start fitness small and work your way toward endurance very gradually — and by gradually, I mean at least a year or more. For those who are not so active, it’s a good idea to consult your primary care provider before beginning any new exercise program. Having said that, a good starting point would be to walk 10 to 15 minutes, three days a week. This may take several weeks, but when you do feel energized enough to up your routine, try brisk walking for 30 minutes, five days a week. The next step is to incorporate running. Combine a walking/running routine for a few more weeks before you increase distance and endurance. Then gradually build up to a weekly long run, from 10 to 15 miles per week at a slower pace that lets your body adjust. On rest days, keep

moving, whether it’s a casual walk, swim or bike ride. Endurance is about building distance rather than speed, and eventually you could be running 20 or so miles per week. The right shoes Yes, you really need to invest in proper running shoes. Consultants at a specialty running store, such as BlueMile, will put you on a treadmill to analyze your gait and stride to recommend the best shoe for you. No matter where you shop, expect to invest at least $100 in a pair of shoes and replace them as soon as the tread shows signs of wear. One more note: Don’t buy brand new shoes for race day. Wear the type and brand of shoes you trained in, and break them in a few weeks beforehand. For more, visit currentincarmel.com. Christa Robertson, family nurse practitioner with IU Health Family Medicine – Fishers, explains the importance of proper preparation.

Attitudes, action and faith are important to Scott Beck, president of Beck’s Hybrids. “Attitude and work ethic play HCLA an important role in what we do and how we get along,” Beck said at the March 23 Hamilton County Leadership Academy’s community storyteller event at Beck’s hangar at the Indianapolis Executive Airport in Zionsville. Beck’s Hybrids was created in 1937 when Lawrence Beck and his son, Francis, planted a three-acre portion of hybrid parent seed corn on their farm in Hamilton County. Eighty years later, it is the largest familyowned seed company in the U.S., serving farmers in nine states. Scott Beck became president in March of 2015 after his father decided it was time to pass the torch. Although they are family, Scott admits they have different leadership styles. He leans more toward the inspirational approach and is driven by responsibility, while his father liked to be in charge. However, they do agree on the company’s culture. About eight years ago they collaborated with a group of employees to pinpoint who they were as a business. This led to Attitudes and Actions, which includes teamwork, integrity, innovation, adaptability, commitment and passion. “Those weren’t things that were aspirational goals,” Scott Beck said. “Those were things that really described who we were

as people in our business.” They created a recognition program as well, where employees can acknowledge coworkers for their actions through an online system to foster that culture. Scott Beck also is very passionate about his faith. He went to church when he was young but really developed a relationship with God near the end of college. “I went through a funnel to get to that point, and then it opened back up my vision to the opportunities and potential (God) has to offer,” Scott Beck said.

Mac n’ cheese festival comes to Hamilton County By Heather Collins news@currentnoblesville.com Hamilton County cheese lovers, rejoice and unite. Return of the Mac will hit Hamilton County June 3. Chef’s Night Off and MOKB food Presents have announced that Noblesville will be the next stop for Return of the Mac, a food festival dedicated to mac n’ cheese. “I’ve spent the last four years working with the upper echelon of the region’s food scene and realized I had been alienating the average diner,” said R.J. Wall, festival co-founder and Chef’s Night Off Ambassador of Awesome. “So I thought and thought about what is the most loved food in America that translates well to a festival style event? Duh! Mac n’ cheese.” Wall said he believes Indiana is a perfect state to represent the average American who loves comfort food. “I’ll bet my bottom dollar that the lion’s share of Indiana’s population loves mac n’ cheese,” Wall said.

Return of the Mac co-founder, R.J. Wall, left, with celebrity chef and male model, Craig Baker of The Local. The festival will feature 25 mac n’ cheese cuisines from local restaurants and chefs. (Submitted photo)

Earlier this year, the festival soldout in Bloomington and Indianapolis, with the Indy festival selling out in less than an hour. Hamilton County will be the final 2017 stop for the festival. “I think Hamilton County is an underserved market with a lot fun people and families looking to get out and have a

great time,” Wall said. “There are so many great facilities and an abundance of awesome, locally owned restaurants to work with.” During the event, attendees can sample cheesy goodness from 25 Noblesville and north Indianapolis restaurants. The mac n’ cheese creations will be judged by a panel of local foodies who will determine the winner of the “Golden Noodle.” Residents can vote in the Yelp! Crowd Favorite Competition. Some participating restaurants include The Local, Barley Island, Four Day Ray, The Coterie and Rail Epicurean. Return of the Mac will be 1-5 p.m. June 3 at the Federal Hill Commons, at 175 Logan St. in Noblesville.

Basketball legends Bob Knight and Gene Keady came together for a special one-night-only evening at the Palladium and Where’s Amy had “courtside” seats to cover the action. The sold-out event was moderated by former Bloomington Hearld-Times sports editor Bob Hammel, and everyone who attended loved listening to stories about the past Indiana University and Purdue University basketball seasons. The one thing I took away from the night was that Knight and Keady both expected their players to perform well and, most importantly, graduate. The two coaches had the crowd in stitches with their memories, and although they were rivals on the court it was clear that they both have a great admiration for each other and have sealed their legacies on the hardwood.

HCAA, Unique pair for fundraiser By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Nicole Tredup had an idea of bringing together two organizations that she supports. art Unique is an organization that supports families with rare chromosomal disorders. “My daughter is 4 years old and she is special needs. She has a very rare chromosomal abnormality,” said Tredup, a Fishers resident. “Unique has helped my family tremendously with research and putting us in touch with other families who are afflicted with my daughter’s disease.” Tredup, a landscape photographer, is the membership chair for the Hamilton County Arts Association. So she suggested dual fundraisers for the organizations. “It was met with overwhelming approval,” Tredup said. HCAA and Unique will hold a month-long “We Are All Unique” exhibit in June in the HCAA’s The Birdie Gallery, 195 South 5th St., Noblesville. The HCAA artists will be exhibiting work that makes their representations of what is unique. There will be an exhibit block party and opening reception

Blueprint for Improvement: Stunning laundry transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

After

After solutions: The goal for these areas was to improve functionality, update the aesthetics to the homeowners’ preferred style and strategically design the aesthetics to feel continuous throughout both spaces. 1. The washer and dryer appliances were stacked, creating more space for functional storage and work space. New cabinets and granite countertops were designed to maximize functionality. One of the cabinets even doubles as a trash can and a clothes hamper. 2. A small drop-zone for shoes, coats and bags was incorporated into the design as well. 3. In the adjacent powder bath, a new vanity, champagne bronze plumbing fixtures and a mesmerizing light fixture add a beautiful elegance to that space. The new cabinetry stain color in the powder bath matches the color in the laundry room. 4. For an added aesthetic that ties into other elements in the home, a reclaimed wood accent wall was installed and stained to coordinate with both the new cabinet color and the existing floor.

Before Background Info: These owners reside in the Geist-area Anchorage neighborhood in Fishers. They knew they wanted to update their laundry and adjacent powder bath spaces but did not really know where to start.

Before problems: The previous laundry room did not inspire the already tedious task of laundry for this busy family. The builder-grade cabinetry and outdated laminate flooring needed a fresh update in aesthetics and functionality. With the powder bath in proximity to the laundry room, the owners wanted the two spaces to coordinate and update the outdated finishes to reflect their style.

London’s Tower Bridge. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The other London Bridge Commentary by Don Knebel

Claghorn Custom Flooring

Claghorn Custom Flooring 100 N. 1st Street Zionsville, IN 46077 317-873-6202 claghorncustomflooring.com

Tower Bridge is one of the most recognizable symbols of London. Often confused with the London Bridge that travel was always falling down, Tower Bridge is a marvel of 19th century engineering. London planners wanted a bridge across the River Thames just east of the Tower of London that would accommodate tall ships sailing to the port at the London Pool. The solution was a unique combination of bridge-building techniques. Two suspension bridges link the river banks to two 213-feettall towers supported on massive concrete piers in the middle of the river. A drawbridge with twin 1,000-ton leaves goes between the Victorian Gothic towers, designed to be compatible with the Tower of London. Two walkways 140 feet above the river mechanically connect the towers to anchors on the river banks, providing structural support. When the bridge opened in 1894, at a cost equivalent to $150 million today, the leaves could be raised completely in a minute or so by an ingenious mechanism relying on

steam power and pressurized water. The bridge was so successful that it soon put out of business a nearby pedestrian tunnel. The little-used upper walkways attracted prostitutes and pickpockets and were closed to the public in 2010. In preparation for the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, Tower Bridge was painted red, white and blue, and the mechanism for raising the drawbridge was replaced by one using electric power and hydraulic oil. The original blue and white colors were restored in 2008. Today, the drawbridge leaves are raised completely in salute when the Queen passes under the bridge. For anyone else, the leaves are raised no higher than necessary to accommodate the passing ship. Persistent rumors that the buyer of London Bridge, now located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, thought he was buying Tower Bridge are false.
