ZCS referendum passes with nearly 70 percent approval By Ann Marie Shambaugh • annmarie@youarecurrent.com

The lone item on the Zionsville general election ballot – the Zionsville Community Schools referendum – passed easily Nov. 3, with 67.28 percent of 6,259 voters casting ballots in favor of the tax. election The final, though unofficial, results held in line with early voting numbers, which showed about 70 percent of people voting in support of the referendum. The previous referendum, which expires at the end of the year, passed in 2012 with about 58 percent of the vote. The referendum is for a six-year term and maintains the current tax rate – a maximum of 24 cents per $100 of net-assessed value Richey – and could be decreased but never increased depending on state funding in the next six years. If the referendum hadn’t passed, ZCS officials said they would have had to slash programs, cut as many as 120 employees and balloon class sizes to 40 or more students. “Renewing the referendum allows us to restore key academic services for our students, protect class sizes and property values and operate ZCS with financial stability once again,” stated Shari Gentry Alexander Richey, ZCS board of trustees president. “Our sleeves are rolled up to continue lobbying legislators for a fix to the broken funding formula.” ZCS receives less per-pupil state funding than any other district in Indiana, even after changes to the formula earlier this year led to a slight increase in funds. ZCS Superintendent Scott Robison has partnered with officials from other districts near the bottom of the list to urge lawmakers to make additional changes to the funding formula. The passing of the referendum will give the group – known as the Fix-It Coalition – six more years to advocate for change. Also in Boone County, Matt Gentry, a 2007 Zionsville Community High School graduate, was elected mayor of Lebanon with more than 65 percent of the vote. In Whitestown, incumbent Eric Miller received about 70 percent of the vote to retain his seat in District 3, and Jeffrey A. Wishek was elected to District 4 with about 65 percent of the vote.

Akard True Value Hardware will have a veterans tree on display and will grill hotdogs for a donation to the American Legion. The shopping center has also created a designated parking spot for veterans. Free concert – A classical music trio composed of Kris Sanchack on piano, Pavel Morunov on oboe and Johanna Bourkova-Morunov on violin will perform a free concert at 4 p.m. Nov. 15 at Christ Lutheran Church, 600 N.

Donation of sharps containers helps officers stay safe By Audrey Bailey • news@currentzionsville.com

The Zionsville Police Dept. recently received a donation of several sharps containers from the Boone Co. Health Dept. with the police help of the Boone Co. Solid Waste District. These 40 receptacles will be placed in police cruisers and stations for the purpose of holding needles and other sharp, hazardous waste material collected while on duty. “They brought us down quite a few (sharps containers), enough for all of the vehicles and key locations around headquarters here,” ZPD Chief Robert Knox said. “It’s just a very safe way to help hold and dispose of sharps that could potentially cause injury to a person.” Knox and the police department have seen the benefits over the past year of partnering with BCSWD, which previously donated prescription pill receptacles that are in the ZPD lobby.

More than 700 unwanted prescriptions have been collected for disposal in the bins. Knox saw a need for sharps containers in police vehicles and around a variety of stations, so he made it a point to reach out and see what

could be done. He contacted the Boone Co. Health Dept. to inquire about a possible donation, and they in turn reached out to the Boone Co. Solid Waste District. According to Jennifer Lawrence, executive director of BCSWD, this partnership with the Zionsville Police Dept. is in its initial trial stages, in order to determine whether or not disposal costs will be something that will work in the long run. “This partnership with Chief Knox and the Zionsville Police Dept. is kind of a six-month pilot program that we have going,” Lawrence said. “We want to give (the containers) to him, make sure it works on his end and make sure it works on our end.” Knox, though, has high hopes for the future of this partnership and is grateful for the donations. “These folks are just really great partners in public safety for us, and we appreciate it very much,” Knox said.

Council approves funds for new nature center Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh The Zionsville Town Council held its regular meeting Nov. 2 and approved several items. What happened: The council approved $300,000 to help build a new home for the Zion Nature Center that could also serve as a temporary town hall if needed. What it means: Both the Zion Nature Center and town hall are in buildings that are likely to be used for other purposes or under construction in the future, so both were looking at temporary moves. This solution will allow both entities to spend less than they were expecting to pay separately on temporary options toward a building that can provide a permanent home for the Zion Nature Center and be a backup option for town hall. What’s next: The parks board can use $250,000 already approved for the nature center relocation but must approve an additional $50,000 for the new solution. The funds approved by the council will come from the Cumulative Capital Development fund.

What happened: The council approved $50,000 to replace the sprinkler system in the Municipal Services Building. What it means: The sprinkler system at the Municipal Services Building has had numerous issues in recent years, which have led to flooding problems. Councilors agreed that it would save money to replace the system rather than continue to pay for repairs.

What’s next: The project will be funded through the Cumulative Capital Development fund, which already has enough cash in reserves to cover the cost.

What happened: The council approved an agreement with the city of Indianapolis for intersection improvements at Zionsville Road and 96th Street. What it means: The southern end of the project is in Marion County, where Zionsville will need to acquire right of way to complete the project. The improvements are funded through Boone County Redevelopment Commission funds, but the town of Zionsville will be responsible for maintenance of the improvements once complete. Improvements include an upgraded signal, additional lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks and adjusting the intersection alignment. The three options proposed for a future north-south connector road. (Submitted photo)

What’s next: The city of Indianapolis will vote on the agreement. If approved, work is expected to begin in the spring and last for a couple of months.

What happened: The council approved a change to the comprehensive plan to include information from a study to determine possibilities for a future north-south connector road. What it means: With the growth of residential areas and schools on the west side of Zionsville, the town is looking to add a north-south connector road between Oak Street and CR 575 to help with traffic flow. The study determined three possible locations for the road, two of which would intersect with Cooper Road. What’s next: The town will continue to study the issue.

REA D ER ’ S VIEW Future town building projects could use more oversight Editor, This letter is in regard to the proposed nature center and town hall. I have no problem with the nature center, but I do have one with the town hall. The town hall was bought only about 10 or so years ago, and the cost was over $2 million with a renovation cost of about $1 million. Did this building never receive a prepurchase inspection that would have pointed out the deterioration of this building? Was there a catastrophe that occurred during the habitation period? What caused this building to need replacing after having spent so much on it? What caused this building to have to be condemned? I say we should build a new building with a lot more oversight to make sure it doesn’t turn into a money pit as this one has. Will the town be able to sell the current town hall building or the land to build something else on in order to reclaim some of the money that has gone down this bad investment? Don’t be in a hurry to cut corners to obtain a new meeting site or in building a substandard nature center for interim meetings. I am sure there is somewhere in Zionsville that could be rented for the use of meetings that would be cheaper than using pods. Let’s see some long-term thought going into this project.

Popcorn through the years

Boy delivers donuts on fire truck

Commentary by Ward Degler

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

On the top shelf in the corner cabinet in the kitchen, in the back and out of sight is a piece of equipment that plain talk hasn’t been used in years. It’s a popcorn popper. This particular model is electric. You poured in a certain amount of oil, added a precise measure of popcorn, plugged it in and waited. When the popped corn lifted the lid off the top, it was done. An earlier model sat on the stove burner. It had a crank on the top and you had to turn it when the corn started popping to keep it from burning. The problem with that one was steam leaked out from under the lid and burned your hand. Some friends of ours had a wire basket popper that you used in a fireplace. I don’t know how practical that was, but I have to admit it was romantic. Lights down low, cozy spot in front of the fireplace while the blizzard of the century raged outside. My dad made popcorn in a frying pan, jiggling the pan back and forth as the corn popped. He always filled two mixing bowls with popcorn. One he finished with melted butter and salt. The other got butter and

sugar which created a sort of homemade Cracker Jack mixture. Popcorn got its start during the Great Depression. It was cheaper than candy, so an impoverished nation turned to popcorn for treats. Many farmers, faced with bankruptcy because of the Depression, found salvation growing popcorn. During World War II when sugar was not available, popcorn consumption skyrocketed. After the war, gadget makers had a field day inventing new kinds of popcorn poppers. The one in my cabinet is an offspring of that era. The microwave oven changed the way we looked at popcorn forever. Everybody in the business knew microwaves would pop corn. But it took years of refined engineering to get it to the point it didn’t catch on fire or scorch the corn in the process. Today it’s just a short two-minute blast, dump it into a bowl and you’re ready to start the movie. Heck, it’s even pre-salted and buttered. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.” You may contact him at ward. degler@gmail.com.

Carter Crouch had a birthday his parents expect he will be chattering about for quite some time. whitestown He got to ride in a fire truck and then sit in the driver’s seat. It was his reward for bringing donuts to Whitestown police officers and the firefighters at Station 72 on his third birthday on Oct. 30. The idea to deliver donuts came from his parents, Jake and Devin Crouch. “Last year, we had a drive to raise food for an animal shelter,” Jake said. “As Carter has gotten older, his interest in both the police and fire departments has grown. We want to instill in him the importance of giving back to the community and giving back to those that protect us.” “The whole town of Whitestown and the police and fire department have been tremendous. It makes it easy to give back,” Jake added. Jake said his son loves seeing fire trucks and police cars. “Any time we see one on the road, he wants to follow them so he can watch them,” Jake said. “This was the highlight of his year.

He’ll be talking about it for weeks to come.” Whitestown Fire Dept. Chief Josh Westrich said it was a nice gesture by the Crouch family. “It’s good to make a little kid’s day as well,” Westrich said. “He’s very into it. According to his parents, he loves seeing us around town. They stop to say hi, and it makes his day.” Westrich said the request to deliver donuts came to him through Dax Norton, Whitestown town manager. “We figured it would be a good idea to one-up it a little and go pick him up on a fire truck and help him deliver donuts to the public safety team,” Westrich said.

Ryan masters reporting, mysteries

60th Anniversary Celebration Friday, Nov. 13th, 2015 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.

As a young girl growing up in Zionsville, Hank Phillippi Ryan dreamed of being a mystery writer. BOOKS “I used to read mysteries in the barn behind our house,” Ryan said. “That’s where I fell in love with Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Poirot and the all those wonderful storytellers.” Ryan’s life took a detour and she ended up being a TV reporter for 40 years. She is the on-air investigative reporter for Boston’s NBC affiliate, winning 33 Emmys and 13 Edward R. Murrow awards. “I didn’t start writing until I was 55,” said Ryan, who talked to a group of fans at Carmel Clay Public Library last month. “That little girl in the hayloft wanted to write mysteries, and I finally did.” Ryan said she had stopped and started writing a novel before. “I spent my entire life looking for a good plot,” Ryan said. “Then in 2005, I was sitting at my desk and had a great idea. I knew at that time it was the perfect idea for a novel. The universe was just telling me this was the time to write.” Ryan was known as Ann Sablosky at Pike High School. However, her given name is Harriet Ann, so she picked up the nickname Hank while at Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio. “That was 1967, and I’ve been Hank ever since,” Ryan said. After starting her career in radio at WIBC, she eventually got her first TV job at WTHR-13 as a political reporter. She left for an Atlanta TV station in 1976 as an anchor and political reporter and then went to Boston in 1983. As a teenager, Ryan wanted to make a difference, and investigative reporting has helped her do so. “I’ve worked on stories on 911 problems in

Massachusetts where responders were being sent to the wrong address,” she said. “We found firehouses that would pass codes and federal jury pools where there was not one person of color. We figured out why it was happening and got it changed.” Along the way, she said she learned how to be a storyteller. Her eighth mystery novel, “What You See,” was recently released, and Carmel was part of her national book tour. Her sister, Nancy Landman, a Carmel resident who has a catering company, provided culinary treats for her sisters’ fans. She is an avid reader of her sister’s books as well. “If I didn’t like them, I would tell her,” Landman said. Ryan has won numerous awards for her crime fiction, including five Agatha awards and the Mary Higgins Clark Award. Her first novel, “Prime Time,” won an Agatha for best first novel in 2007.

Zionsville veteran John Roth recalls cold, communism in Korea By Ward Degler • news@currentzionsville.com

It was no surprise that John Roth found himself at an airbase in Korea in 1952. It had been barely two years since military 75,000 North Korean soldiers spilled across the 38th parallel into South Korea, an invasion that violated the agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union, dividing the peninsula into two countries – one devoted to communism, the other to western democracy. It also sparked global fears of widespread communist aggression, possibly even World War III. President Truman ordered an immediate military buildup. For Roth, the Korean War Roth began in 1951 at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. “There weren’t enough barracks to house the huge influx of new recruits,” he said. He and hundreds of other trainees lived in hastily pitched tents and slept on cots. Roth rushed through basic training and into electronics school in Nevada where he learned the intricacies of radar and gun sights on the Air Force’s new F-86 Saberjet fighter. Rather than being assigned as an electronics technician to work on planes, however, Roth became part of a special team designated to train mechanics. “Even that was done differently,” he said. “Instead of technicians coming to us, we went to them.” And wherever they went, they took with them a training module made up of a good portion of an actual F-86 fighter. “The cockpit, the engine, the fuselage and all the mechanical, hydraulic and electronic systems were put on giant platforms and loaded into cargo planes,” he said. Roth’s detachment’s first stop in Korea was Kimpo Air Base, a hard-used facility that had been overrun several times by enemy forces since the beginning of the conflict. When Roth and his crew arrived, they found themselves just nine miles south of the front lines. Enemy harassment was a daily occurrence, and at night, a small North Korean airplane nicknamed “Bedcheck Charlie” would fly over and drop hand grenades. Housing was more tents and cots. “It was bitter cold,” Roth remembered, “and we lined our cots with newspaper before putting down our sleeping bags.” Conditions were terrible, but Roth admitted it was worse for troops a few miles north who had to sleep in the snow.

“We didn’t have warm clothes,” he added. “Nobody did.” Frostbite and hypothermia were rampant during the winter months. Training was intense at Kimpo, and Roth remembers that both pilots and mechanics were eager to learn as much as possible. “No one had experience with jets,” he noted. Until 1952, the most advanced American fighter plane in Korea was the P-51 Mustang, a propdriven aircraft from World War II. “Unfortunately,” Roth mused, “it was powerless against the Soviet Mig fighter. It was while Roth and his training crew were stationed at Kimpo that a North Korean pilot defected and landed his Mig at the American base. “We got to take a look at it,” Roth said, “and we learned a lot that helped us combat it in the air.” Something else that Roth and everyone else on the base got to see was a blond bombshell by the name of Marilyn Monroe. “Marilyn came to Korea with Bob Hope and his troupe,” Roth recalled. “They put on a show in spite of shooting just a few miles away.” In 1953, after other assignments in Korea and Japan, Roth was shipped home where he met and married his wife, Charlene. The first of their three children was born on their first wedding anniversary. After leaving the Air Force, Roth completed his engineering degree and founded an electronic company known today as Esco Systems. In 1990 he retired, and he and Charlene now divide their time between Zionsville and Bonita Springs, Fla. Even now he is fiercely proud of his country and proud to have served. “I became a patriot when I watched my dad go off to war,” he said. “I was in the sixth grade.”

Heroes’ Tree to honor veterans By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Many may lament holiday decorations popping up this time of the year, but there is a special purpose behind the library Heroes’ Tree – honoring the sacrifices of military personnel – which will make its 2015 debut at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library on Veterans Day. Zionsville residents of all ages are encouraged to honor deceased and current military personnel and veterans with an ornament placed on the tree. Materials to create an ornament will be in the library, but ornaments created at home are also welcome. The tree is white to be differentiated from the other seven holiday trees in the library during December. The red and blue decorations also stand out vividly on the white branches. “Instead of being one of many, it’s a special tree,” said Jamie Schlenk, Youth Services Department head for the library. She estimates that the tree has been at the library for eight years, although the national program from the Indiana State Library and Purdue University is much older. In the past, ornaments have been marked

with a name and branch of service, while others have a whole story, according to Schlenk, adding that ornaments can be as simple as gluing a picture to a piece of paper. “A lot of people leave their ornaments, and we put them up the next year,” she said. In conjunction with the tree honoring veterans, Epsilon Sigma Alpha is collecting donations for homeless veterans for their Winter Warm-Up. They are requesting men’s winter wear, pants, socks and gloves along with personal items such as toothbrushes, deodorant and shaving supplies.

Local soldier’s name lives on By Terri Horvath • news@currentzionsville.com Traditionally an American Legion unit names its post headquarters after a local soldier. For Zionsville’s American back in the day Legion Post #79, that individual was Francis Neidlinger, one of the fallen heroes of World War I. The United States entered the conflict on April 6, 1917, after Germany sank seven U.S. merchant ships. At the time, the U.S. had a small army, but Congress instituted the draft by passing the Selective Service Act. The country then drafted 2.8 million men. One man who chose to enlist was Neidlinger. At the age of 19, he was married and working at the nearby Pitman Moore Co., a biological laboratory that later became part of DowBrands. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in August 1917 and planned to serve in the ambulance corps. Later, however, he requested a transfer into the infantry. On Nov. 7, 1918, he was killed in action. Four days later the armistice ending the war was declared. Many of the area’s servicemen returned home, although not all. At the time, the town’s population was about 1,000. By 1919, enough

interest was generated to form the American Legion post, the sixth of its kind established in the state. Although the name of Francis Neidlinger was chosen to headline the post, the members felt an obligation to pay tribute to all those who served and never came back.

Zionsville-based Tuxedo Bros. becomes a local leader in race management By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com It started with the creation of a “stair climb.” In 1984 Don Carr and a friend wanted to create a vertical running cover story event, coincidentally soon after Indianapolis’ tallest building at the time was completed. Carr approached the owners, who were amenable to the race incorporating stairs as long as it was in conjunction with a fundraiser. Bop to the Top was born “and the rest is history,” said Carr, president of Tuxedo Brothers, the Zionsville-based event management company that plans fitness-focused and running-centric events throughout the area. Carr has slowly built the company through the years, starting with six annual events up to 60 events last year. Most of them involve running or walking, such as 5K or 10K competitions, but they also manage marathons, triathlons and duathlons. They have managed more than 1,000 events in three decades. The concept of Tuxedo Bros. emerged as Carr competed in running events and noticed issues. “I had a love for running,” Carr said. “I think I felt there was a need for (an event management company) when I did other events.” Wearing a tuxedo to several running events, Carr and a friend were dubbed the “tuxedo brothers.” “It’s kind of a fun name,” said Carr, who decided to use it for his company. In 1988 when Carr quit his “real job” and incorporated Tuxedo Bros., his actual brother, Phil, became his partner. Phil Carr had just moved to town in 1988 and with a background in software engineering was able to help keep track of the timing and scoring for competitive events. Don’s younger brother took the role of head of timing and scoring and works for the company part time. While the elder brother Carr no longer competes, he still runs Bop to the Top every year when he can squeeze in between racers. The fastest runners can run up the 780 steps in less than five minutes while the average person can run the 36 floors in 8 to 10 minutes. Runners then take the elevator back down to the lobby.

Bop to the Top takes place during the winter, when there are fewer marathons and runs. The 2016 event is set for Jan. 16 and will benefit Riley Hospital for Children. Bop to the Top has raised approximately half a million dollars over the years. Most of their fitness events benefit charitable or service organizations. One of Tuxedo Brother’s big events is the annual Drumstick Dash that takes place on Thanksgiving Day in Broad Ripple and benefits Wheeler Mission. Twelve years ago, Carr began a 10K for Wheeler Mission with fellow runner Steve Kerr, Wheeler Mission’s chief development officer, who wanted to create a Thanksgiving morning event. Carr wasn’t certain it would work, in particular finding enough volunteers to pull off a big running event on a holiday. Kerr wasn’t phased, reminding Carr that Wheeler’s phone rings off the hook for Thanksgiving volunteers. “That was a great concept that really took off,” Carr said. “Everything just connected for that event.” Drumstick Dash has expanded since its inception in 2004. Despite the increase in similar events Thanksgiving Day, he said he is hopeful

for Drumstick Dash’s future. “That event has grown so much and has done such great things for Wheeler (Mission),” he said. Approximately three quarters of their work is spearheaded by another organization, such as Komen Race for the Cure, the 500 Festival’s Mini Marathon and the Indianapolis Corporate Challenge. “It varies from event to event how much we get involved with it,” Carr said. Sometimes they may do portions of the event such as overseeing the start time but aren’t managing the whole race. “The other 25 percent, it’s our idea. We manage it. We have to do everything,” Carr said. “It’s a lot more work.” In those situations, they find volunteers as well as set the course and mile markers, set up water stations and provide course marshals who ensure runners turn at the correct location. With a staff of two employees, Carr is content with the level of events they manage. “We’re busy as it is,” he said. “I don’t necessarily need to grow. “I feel bad sometimes because I know charities need the help,” he said.

From mother to martyr

FR O M   T HE BA C KSH O P

Sail on, Old Salt I’ve given Brian the week off here, and instead I’m going to share some life lessons taught to me by a man who, by the time you read this, very well may be sailing on to his next adventure. My dad, Bob, is nearly 88 years old, and failing quickly. He has had a great, full life, no question. He was only too happy to share lessons with those he knew and those he loved. Here are but a few (I could fill a book) that have helped me, and I would hope they would help you, too: • “Learn as much about as many things as possible and stay intellectually alert.” – His thirst for knowledge knew no bounds. • “Go ahead and fill your glass.” – He never saw it as half empty, always half full, and he never quit trying to make it brim. • “Self-pity is a luxury none of us can afford.” – I try not to waste time and energy feeling sorry for myself in any situation. It seems a waste of energy. • “Why worry about that which you cannot control?” – He lived it to the best of his ability, and I do, as well. He has been a steadfastly loyal husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle, advisor and friend to many. That will be rewarded somewhere along the line, I have to believe. He gave me a love of sailing, music, photography, comedy and Ohio State football. As my favorite songwriter, Jimmy Buffett, once wrote: “He’s somewhere on the ocean now/The place he ought to be/One hand on the starboard rail/And he’s waving back at me.” I consider myself enriched. Maybe you will, too. It’s been a lovely cruise. Sail on, Old Salt. Steve Greenberg is a co-owner and executive vice president/ general manager of Current Publishing.

Percentages

Commentary by Terry Anker

Competitors in contract bridge are said to play the percentages when they evaluate between any number of reasonable actions selecting those of greatest likelihood to achieve positive result. Really most of us do it every day. We consider many variables, simple and complex, with an eye towards optimization. Perhaps we don’t think of these decisions as being framed through a lens of mathematical probability. But be sure, we are running the numbers each time we pull into traffic, eat food we didn’t prepare, or assert a personal point of view to an important customer or to our boss. In each of these, we are assuming risk. Yet, we are also necessarily sifting through an extensive array of choices, each designed to maximize our chosen outcome. So, it is little wonder that we modern humans employ scores of almost-clichéd expressions pointing to our fascination with the use of equations. The 80/20 rule marches out as dictum showing the dis-

tribution of the effect of a minority on the majority. And political leaders now argue about points on a poll rather than issues on a ballot. Some years ago while confronting a significant personal challenge, a friend worked to counsel me through my grief. Making use of society’s affinity for percentages, he illustrated with this simple equation that our fear of failure as a social construct is misplaced. In my failure, 90 percent wouldn’t actually notice – there is some conceit in imagining that they would. Five percent of the remaining folks would revel in the pain they could see me experience – I shouldn’t give them the satisfaction. And 5 percent of the people loved me unconditionally, their commitment was stalwart. It turns out, he was 100 percent right. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EEK There’s nothing in this world that comes easy. There are a lot of people who aren’t going to bother to win. We learn in football to get up and go once more. – Woody Hayes

In the last couple of weeks my husband Doo has taken to calling me “martyr” instead “mother.” He’s trying to get me humor to notice how often I complain about things that I don’t really ever do. But the way I see it, a mom can’t help but sacrifice her happiness for her children. Hormones, gut instincts and workingparent guilt are nature’s way of ensuring no mother will ever experience true relaxation or finish a smut novel. Last night was a perfect example of how easily I’m manipulated by my children. I’m sitting on the couch, exhausted, trying to enjoy a quiet moment. Doo has acquiesced to giving me a foot rub (in return for his own later) and for once the dog is not yelping at me for a ball toss. All too soon, one daughter sidles up complaining of a sore shoulder while the other plops down in a nearby chair, frustrated to tears, wanting help with math. Doo denied both girls immediately: “I’m tired and watching ‘Family Guy’.” And though I was just as spent as Doo and definitely did not want to forfeit a semi-free rubdown, I suddenly found myself tracking down Advil while explaining how to solve a system of linear equations. Why? Because I can’t say “no” to my kids. Not when one baby is in pain and the other is close to an adolescent breakdown. Not even on a Saturday, when I finally have a chance to sleep in, and could have shoulder-daughter set her own alarm and organize a carpool for her early morning guard competition. Nope, I’ll Joan-of-Arc it and get up at 5:30 a.m. to gently wake her, make her a delicious, nutritional breakfast and then drop her off with an “I love you. You’re beautiful. Make good choices!” farewell. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I be selfish when it comes to my kids? Because I work full time. Because I have Mama Bear instincts. Because someone has to ensure that our offspring graduate and move out. Sorry, Doo, but by design, this mother is a martyr. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

AD:

As a journalist, I’ve always considered the opportunity to work closely with local fire and police departments as public safety a benefit of my job. In recent years, I’ve ridden along on fire trucks to cover National Night Out parties, enjoyed a ride along with a police officer and even went on an EMS call in a medical helicopter. But none of that compared to the firsthand look at what it takes to be a firefighter I received during Fire Ops 101, a program organized by the International Association of Firefighters Local 4416, which represents Zionsville and several Hamilton County departments. The daylong event is designed to primarily give local elected officials an up-close look at any given day in the life of a firefighter, but IAFF 4416 President Tony Murray was kind enough to let me tag along for the training. After being fitted for fire gear – which is heavier than it looks – each team went through four grueling stations. My team began with extrication, where we learned how to shatter windows and use extremely powerful machines to rip doors off cars to help victims of car accidents. Next, we were thrust into an office scene where a man had suffered a cardiac arrest. It was a nonstop flurry of chest compressions (which are not easy, especially in a speeding ambulance), giving breaths with a special device and making life-and-death decisions on the spot. It was exhausting, both physically and mentally, and had our patient been an actual person, emotionally, too, as he was pronounced dead after all our hard work. We got to sit back – but not relax – at the third station, where we crawled into a modified big metal container to watch the science of fire in action. Normally it’s not a good idea to intentionally start a blaze in a small, enclosed place and watch as it grows out of CD:

control, but after years of experience Capt. Scott Zelhart of the Fishers Fire Dept. kept the flames in front of and above us as we watched fire rage all around us. Finally, we got a chance to climb a ladder in full gear – weighing in at more than 80 pounds – as we learned about battling fires from a roof. We also had the opportunity to crawl through a two-story smoke-filled building as we searched for a 180-pound victim and dragged him to safety. By the end of the day, I was exhausted. And that was after only a few hours of work. There were no real lives on the line, no homes at risk of being lost. I’ve always had a great amount of respect for firefighters, but going through Fire Ops 101 put it at a whole new level. These guys (and gals) truly put their lives on the line every time they clock in to work, as they never know what a day may bring. Make sure to thank them for protecting your community next time you have the chance. I know I will.

Residents team together to send USO packages to troops overseas By Audrey Bailey • news@currentzionsville.com Inside Sandy Hughey’s SUV is an interesting assortment of goodies on the back seat. A reusable grocery bag is filled with travel kits containing deodorant, toothgiving back brushes, tooth paste, lotion, nail clippers and wet wipes. Cradled next to these hygiene essentials are two large boxes of Slim Jims, a favorite snack of the troops. These and other donated items are waiting to be packaged and shipped to one of several United Service Organizations scattered around the world. Once received, they will be distributed to any soldier in need of hygiene supplies and goods. As a 13-year volunteer of USO of Indiana, Hughey has been providing these types of services at the Indianapolis airport center, one of four centers located in Indiana. In addition to the airport, there is a USO center at Camp Atterbury, Muscatatuk, which is an urban training center, and also at Ft. Wayne’s air

force facility. According to Hughey, any church, organization, school, family or individual may send care packages. And these donations are welcomed throughout the entire year, not just during the holidays. Travel size hygiene products, DVDs, easily preserved food items and reading materials are a few of the items recommended individuals and organizations send. For a large size, flat rate APO/FPO box, shipping expense is $15.90 and is insured for up to $50. In operation since 1941, USO of Indiana is a non-profit, chartered organization. It relies almost entirely on in-state funding from businesses, organizations and individuals to help provide soldiers and their families a “home away from home”. “USO is a great, great organization,” said Charles Ridings, executive director at USO of Indiana. “And not just to donate to, but certainly to volunteer. It is a wonderful volunteer experience.” For more, visit uso.org/indiana.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s hard to find a more perfect fit than David Engel to be the director and choreographer for Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “The performance Andrews Brothers.” After all, Engel is well familiar with the musical having performed as Max Andrews in the original offBroadway production. Engel also previously directed the show for ATI’s production in July of 2011. Engel Engel prepared the cast for two weeks before the show opened Nov. 6, running through Nov. 22 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The performances will continue on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Sundays. “It’s very musical-number heavy, so there’s a lot to take in. When we did it before, we had an extra week to learn it,” Engel said. “It’s the exact same cast. The guys were overwhelmed last time because I just kept throwing stuff at them every day.” The second part of the musical is the Andrews Brothers putting on a USO show for the troops in an island in the South Pacific in 1943 during World War II. The Andrews Sisters are quarantined with chicken pox and won’t make the show, so the brothers, who are stagehands familiar with their show, dress up as sisters so the troops won’t be disappointed. Engel describes the brothers as lovable losers. “It’s one of the most fun shows to do but one of the most exhausting,” Engel said. For more, visit CurrentNightandDay.com.

Zionsville rocker hoping new music gets him some airplay

By Zach Dunkin • new@currentzionsville.com

In his new song, “Side Stage,” Zionsville singer-songwriter Brett Wiscons sings about an upstart band whose “gonna music prove you all wrong when we get a hit song” as it plays on the smaller, alternate stage at a concert venue. With a contagious guitar riff, the ’70s-style rock tune refers to a place – career-wise and physically – where almost every music act has been, even successful bands like Hootie and the Blowfish, Wiscons’ major influence. It’s a setting where the rookie band is barely audible over the amped-up sound of the headliner on the main stage. In his mid-30s, and with his first child on the way, the genial Wiscons has no illusion of being the next Darius Rucker. But like any creative soul, whether an artist, an author or a musician, he has his aspirations. Wiscons said he hopes to “just get my music on the radio.” “And I want to get my music on TV and film,” he added. “Those are my goals. I’m getting a little closer. I got my first royalty check last year, something I thought would never happen.” If a smart radio programmer out there hears Wiscons and vocalist Anne Balbo harmonize on the poignant “Don’t Be the One,” the first single from his new EP, “The Heineken Sessions,” he’d be wise to place it in rotation. The EP was released Nov. 6. Wiscons said the EP’s debut single was inspired by a turning point in his three-year partnership with his wife Jennifer when he needed to think about what it would be like without her. “It was just a little argument like married couples sometimes have; it wasn’t to the point that it was completely bleak, but I didn’t want it to get there,” he said. “As a songwriter, I just decided to go to the extreme and visualize what it would have been like if it had gotten there … what it would have been like to lose her.” A solo version of the song by Wiscons and

the single version with Balbo, vocalist for Indy band Zanna-Doo, are included on the EP. Recorded at Stone Point Studios near Charleston, S.C., the EP was produced and co-written by Mark Bryan, the two-time Grammy-winning producer and founding member of Hootie & the Blowfish. Money raised from Kickstarter, a funding platform in which people can make donations to an artistic project, and Wiscon’s sponsor, Heinekin, financed the EP’s recording and marketing. The most heartfelt cut on the EP is “Until

I Think About You,” a song inspired by the unexpected passing of Wiscon’s father, who died of a heart attack at age 64. In the song, Wiscons fondly reminisces about playing baseball, taking late-night drives and watching TV shows with his dad while growing up in Plymouth, Ind. As difficult as it might be, he performs the song in his shows. “It’s a hard song to sing,” he said. “It can be very emotional.” Returning to the topic “Side Stage,” Wiscons

said the song was easy to write “because I’ve done that.” “There was a time recently when I thought, ‘I’ve been doing this for 15 years and nothing is really happening.’ Then I started working with Mark, and I write these good songs, and I get that royalty check, and it gave me a little more hope that something good can happen.” Info: For more, and to download Wiscons’ music, visit brettwiscons.com.

ZCHS makes magic in ‘Pippin’ by Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com The story of a young man searching for his purpose in life is coming to Zionsville Community High School Nov. 19 - 21. This modern take on the Broadway musitheater cal “Pippin” follows the title character after graduation as he tries to determine where he wants life to take him. “What really matters is finding real relationships or making a connection,” Director Mikayla Koharchik said. “I’m excited about the take on it,” Koharchik said. “The beauty of ‘Pippin’ is that it can be set at any time.” The graduation setting of this version is bittersweet for three seniors in lead roles. “(Pippin) is a very uncertain person,” said Michael DeBrota, who plays the title role. “I’m trying to determine what I want to study, so you could say this is sort of a real world depiction of what is going on right now.” The Tony award winning 2013 Broadway revival of “Pippin” was set in a circus but this adaptation will be completely modern with cell phones and iPads sprinkled throughout. The story has also been adjusted to be appropriate for high school students and local families with children. “It’s so great being able to do my favorite show in the last year,” said DeBrota, who grew up listening to the 1970s Broadway production music. “It’s basically my dream role. I love everything about it.” “It’s a nice coming of age story,” he said. “I really liked this role because it’s something new and different for me,” said Danielle McNight, whose character narrates

Megan Tiller as Berthe, Danielle McKnight as Leading Player and Michael DeBrota as Pippin. (Submitted photo)

the story but also inserts herself into it to move the story along. “Leading Player is the person who creates the whole entire show,” she said. “I feel really blessed to play such a complex character.” “I feel like it’s a way of me embracing confidence,” said McNight. “She knows exactly what’s going to happen, she’s creat-

ing everything. She’s a big powerful character. It helps me feel even more confident.” The choreography by Anne Beck will still have the Fosse influence of the 1970s original. “Because it’s deeply rooted in the original we haven’t gotten rid of that,” said Koharchik. This is Koharchik›s second production at ZCHS. She was previously directed shows at Zionsville Middle School and has a long history with some of the students in this production. “It’s my eighth year knowing them and being a part of their lives,” she said. “Truly I remember their first show.” Senior Megan Tiller who plays the role of Pippin’s grandmother, Berthe, is one of those who has known Koharchik since she was in 8th grade. “She doesn’t treat us like middle schoolers or high schoolers,” said Tiller. “She raises the bar and we rise to it.” As Pippin searches for the purpose of life, his grandmother shares with him her philosophy. “For me I’ve never done any role like it,” Tiller said. “In my career I’ve always (played) innocent, young. To exit my senior year with the wise old grandmother is kind of a cool turning point and ending point to high school.” “Zionsville has such talented students,” Koharchik said, noting that casting the show was a true challenge because of the caliber of students auditioning. “The talent pool is so deep and I think that’s an indicator from our music and choral program. My decisions were not easy ones.” “I think everyone will feel the connection of finding purpose and meaning,” said Koharchik. “My goal is that people are entertained but that they also walk away and think.”

Too much technology

JACK EVERLY, Music Director

SANDI PATTY, Host

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley “Well, we really overdid it this time!” How many times have you said that to yourself? Remembering times when we overdid it, it would be wise to look at some history so we don’t repeat our mistakes. One of the joys/curses of a modern smart phone is that little weather icon. It seems we start to click it 10 days ahead of our next tailgate party. Then as we get a few days away from the game we click it and look at the hourly temperatures and rain possibilities. If you count the times you check the weather it can be into the dozens. Ah, technology! We once experienced tailgate preparations where the weather forecast worsened all week. Early on, as we planned our menu, we thought that our chicken noodle soup would be a warm treat for our guests. Later, we had to decide on how we were going to get our soup to the game and have it be piping hot. When we finally made our trek to the game, our car was packed with every imaginable item to keep soup hot. We had heated coolers, grills, crockpots and a bunch of other stuff like chairs and tables. We really had to juggle all these gadgets just to fit them into our car and later to fit them into a setting so we could serve our guests and keep them dry. Our website, tailgatershandbook.com, has a 1950s photo of a tailgate picnic at Colgate University. The folks in that picture had only a picnic basket and a thermos bottle. They had no need for a crock pot or thermoelectric cooler/heater even if these were invented back then. Maybe we would have been better served, considering the weather, if we had prepared like those folks did more than 60

Discard bones. Add the carrots, celery and onions to the pan. Cover the mixture (w/o chicken) and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Add noodles/ pasta, and let it simmer for 6 minutes.

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

This Thanksgiving, be a little bit daring with your menu and surprise your family and guests with this easy, healthy, yet delicious vegan side dish – spicy crispy Brussels sprouts. Yes I know, a lot of people will freak out just at the mention of this vegetable, but this recipe will totally change your mind about Brussels sprouts! If you are still hesitant about trying it out let me add one more thing; Brussels sprouts, like other cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage), are potent defenders against cancer. These vegetables contain phytonutrients that help cleanse the body of cancer-causing substances. It is low in cholesterol, rich in vitamins and high in fiber. Note: You can make this dish the day before your dinner. It will taste even better! Serves: 4 Ingredients: • 4 cups Brussels sprouts, stems trimmed, halved, leaves separated • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil • Coarse sea salt • 1/2 lemon • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce • 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce

Spicy crispy Brussels sprouts add to Thanksgiving. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts leaves with oil and season with salt. Give them a good shake so they are all evenly coated. Roast until leaves are crisp and browned around edges, nearly charred, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove sprouts to a bowl, squeeze lemon juice over them and drizzle with Sriracha and fish sauce. Toss to combine. Ceci Martinez is a Zionsville resident who was born in New York and raised in Peru. For more of Ceci’s recipes, visitcurrentzionsville.com.

Annual toy-store event encourages shopping local By Renee Larr • news@currentzionsville.com Earth Explorer Toys will join shops catering to kids across the U.S. to celebrate National Neighborhood Toy Store Day holidays on Nov. 14. The annual event will help kick off the holiday shopping season and serve as a reminder of the benefits of shopping local. “We do this every year. I think this is the sixth year we’ve had National Neighborhood Toy Store Day,” said Terri Bracken, head explorer of Earth Explorer Toys. “It’s basically like a party all day.” Attendees can participate in various arts and crafts in the morning and afternoon. The event will also include a scavenger hunt called Rock Zionsville, where participants will use

clues to search for big painted rocks hidden around town. “We try to make (the hiding locations) all walkable,” Bracken said. “In the past, we’ve given away only 12 prizes, one for each rock that came in. This year whoever brings in the little thing at the end will win a prize.” The day will also have a focus on giving back to the community. Marines will be onsite collecting new, unwrapped donations for Toys for Tots. “We also give a percent off if the people want to buy something,” Bracken said. “We also have a jar if they want to donate a dollar or two, and we turn it into toys.” Adults, not just children, are welcome to attend the event. “Everybody’s a kid at heart,” Bracken said.

Finding time for fitness Commentary by Jessica Swenberg, MD Whether caring for children, pursuing a career or both, women 45 and under often have difficulty finding family medicine time for exercise. And while maintaining fitness at this age can be challenging, women can achieve success when they think more about how to incorporate exercise into their day. Consider these tips: Stay active all day. Be deliberate in your approach to daily exercise by mixing fitness into what you already do. Cleaning and household chores are a great way to keep you moving. Taking your kids to the park? Play a game of hide and seek, tone your arms on the monkey bars or jump rope with your kids. At work, take the stairs more often, park your car at the far corner of the lot to increase your walking distance, or take a brisk 15-minute walk during lunch or a break. Remember any activity that increases your heart rate and breathing constitutes moderate activity, and that’s the goal.

Don’t focus on quantity. Regular exercise doesn’t mean spending two hours at the gym every day. In fact, achieving a basic level of fitness doesn’t take much time. Carving out 10- to 15-minute blocks of time each day to walk, do simple floor strengthening exercises or exercise with a DVD can help increase fitness. Develop a fitness plan. Staying fit requires a certain level of commitment. In light of your busy schedule, think about what you can reasonably do when it comes to exercise. Then make a plan and stick with it. Making regular fitness a part of daily life has many benefits. Women who exercise will find they have more energy to make it through busy days, and they’ll be healthier to truly enjoy what lies ahead. Jessica Swenberg, MD, specializes in family medicine. She is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Family Medicine, 55 Brendon Way, Ste. 800, in Zionsville. She can be reached by calling the office at 317.777.6400.

Strengthen arms with crab pose Commentary by Anne Johnson Namaste! We all need some extra energy during the holidays. As the jolly, busy, bustling season approaches, I’m proud to yoga feature November’s energizing yoga pose. Yoga helps us build energy through breath, movement and concentration. Continued practice helps us improve balance both inside and out. Now let me introduce crab pose. Crabs are also known as decapods because they have 10 legs. Just imagine how much you could get done with eight extra legs! Their first pair of legs doesn’t resemble legs, though. They have been modified by nature into claws. True crabs can walk slowly in any direction, but when they need to hurry, they usually move sideways. Crabs often work together to get food and to protect their families. To become a crab, sit on your bottom and place your hands and feet on the ground. Lift your bottom off the ground and press your tummy to the sky. Walk and skitter like a crab. Move forward, backward, sideways, in circles or even try to lift one leg at a time to balance. In which direction of movement are you the quickest? Crab pose is a shoulder stretch and arm strengthener in one pose. It works your coordination as you crab walk from side to side

Crab pose helps strengthen arms, stretch shoulders and develop coordination. (Submitted photo by Brett Johnson)

and front to back. For extra energy, try a crab walk race with your friends! Join me next month to learn about another yoga pose, its benefits, and even give it a try yourself. The energy in me honors the contagious energy in you. Anne Johnson teaches kids, tots, expectant and new mothers yoga at Simply Yoga in Zionsville. As a 200 RYT registered yoga teacher, engineer, and children’s book author, Anne enjoys writing and sharing “adult ideas” in a way that makes them accessible to children.

Blueprint for Improvement: Cosmetic kitchen remodel on a budget Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

Background Info: This home is located in the Woodgate Subdivision in Carmel. The homeowners have lived in the house for 15 years and felt it was time to remodel the kitchen on a budget.

Before problems: An update to the existing oak veneer cabinets was definitely needed. It was time to replace the flooring, appliances and brass fixtures as well. With only two small lights in the kitchen and a large pantry closet, the space was feeling dark and underutilized.

After

After solutions: The goal was to achieve a warm and traditional design that would last through time. 1. The existing kitchen desk was removed to allow for more functional cabinet storage and a new “nook” for everyday household items. 2. A new sink and faucet, backsplash tile and hardware made a big impact in the overall design. 3. Functional pull-out accessories were added to some of the cabinets. 4. The space feels brighter with painted cabinets, recessed can lights, pendants and undercabinet lighting. 5. The design color palette stemmed from the new, unique slate gray appliances the family purchased. 6. Freshly painted walls in the kitchen and adjacent rooms finished off the new look.

St. Thomas and the Kapaleshvara Temple Commentary by Don Knebel

Teacher of the Month!

CONGRATS!

The winner for this month's Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Market District, are: student Hanna Wilhite and teacher Mrs. Wleklinski of Zionsville. The winning students will get to have a lunchtime party and the teachers will receive gift certificates to Market District. The next deadline to submit an essay is Nov. 15. To submit your 100-word essay about your favorite teacher, email it to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.

The Kapaleshvara Temple is the largest of many colorful Hindu temples in Chennai, a city in southern India previously travel known as Madras. The temple’s history is entwined with a dubious claim about a disciple of Jesus. In the seventh century, devotees of Shiva, an important Hindu deity, erected a temple along the coast of Mylapore, now a district of Chennai. Called “Kapaleshvara” after an alias of Shiva, the temple remembered an ancient story about Shiva and the peacocks for which Mylapore is named. In the sixteenth century, Portuguese missionaries promoted a story that Thomas, the disciple known for doubting Jesus’ resurrection, had sailed to India in 52 A.D. and was speared to death in Mylapore. Proponents of this historically unsupportable tale claimed to have located the tomb of Thomas under the Kapaleshvara Temple, providing an excuse for demolishing the temple, which honored beliefs they found offensive, and erecting a church on the site. Today, the stately gothic-style Basilica of St. Thomas, built by the British in 1898 on the original temple/church site, claims to house Thomas’ tomb and the spear that killed him. Shiva worshippers eventually erected a re-

placement Kapaleshvara Temple a few blocks inland from its original location. Built in the Dravidian style common in southern India, the imposing temple features a 120-foot-tall gopuram, an entrance pyramid covered with hundreds of colorful effigies of Hindu deities and characters from Hindu stories. Inside the temple, barechested priests perform six rituals each day worshiping Shiva, represented symbolically as the lingam, a phallic shape going back to the beginnings of Indian civilization. Visitors to Chennai’s Kapaleshvara Temple

and nearby Basilica of St. Thomas can experience two dramatically different ways of acknowledging the divine. They can also learn how religious intolerants have too often destroyed the worship places of others in plugging their competing beliefs.
