ZPC approves rezoning to make way for new town hall By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Plan Commission approved the rezoning of nearly seven acres to make way for the construction of a new town hall building behind the existing redevelopment one. The commission voted, 4-1, Nov. 16 to rezone the land from Special Use Development District to a Planned Unit Development District. The new plans call for a retail building or buildings to replace the current town hall, which is in an aging former church building. Kevin Schiferl was the only commissioner to vote against the rezoning. He expressed concern about the new town hall, a public building, not being easy to see from Oak Street, Zionsville’s major east-west thoroughfare. “If we’re public, we should make sure the public knows where we’re at and [be] inviting

ZEF celebrates 20 years of giving with gala

By Kelsey Ligon • news@currentzionsville.com The Zionsville Education Foundation held its 20th anniversary celebration gala Nov. 14 to mark two decades of fundraiser supporting classroom development. Since forming in 1995, ZEF has given more than $850,000 in grants to Zionsville Community Schools administrators, teachers and students for enrichment, classroom support and professional development. “The thing I love about ZEF is that they give to everyone,” said Shari Alexander Richey, ZCS Board of Trustees president and emcee of the gala. The celebration began in the Simon Reading Room at the Central Library in downtown Indianapolis. The room’s sweeping marble staircases, elegant chandeliers and hundreds of books subtly reminded guests of a rich past of education. The celebration then moved into the more modern atrium, representing ZEF’s bright outlook for the future, according to Tracy Phillips, executive director of ZEF. In addition to encouraging guests to celebrate and socialize, the ZEF gala continuously reminded them of the students the organization serves. ZEF invited two Zionsville seniors,

The keynote speaker for the evening, Rich Harwood, focused on how communities impact schools. Harwood is the founder of the Harwood Institute, which helps communities across the country come together to solve

problems. He particularly emphasized the need for people to “come out of their homes and work together.” Harwood has developed the campaign “Reclaiming Main Street,” which encourages conversations about best practices for making communities better. Guest Diane Bakaysa of Zionsville explained why she attended the gala. “If you don’t invest in what’s working, it might not always be around,” she said.

How to Find the Right Family Law Attorney for You You have decided it is time to talk to a family law attorney. Sometimes that is the toughest decision to make. But now that you know you need or want legal advice, who do you hire? It is common to feel desperate to find an attorney immediately after coming to the conclusion that you need or want a lawyer, but do not make the mistake that so many others have made in hiring your attorney based solely on timing and convenience. Frustration of hiring the wrong attorney can be avoided by finding the right family law attorney to assist you from the beginning. The following are things to keep in mind (and some good questions to ask) when you are selecting a family law attorney: 1. It is personal: The attorney-client relationship is a personal relationship---maybe more so in family law than in any other area of the law. Family law cases involve life’s most sensitive and delicate issues. The issues you will be discussing with your attorney are probably the most personal and sensitive you will ever experience. If you do not feel comfortable talking with the attorney, keep looking! Be selective. Your attorney should listen to you and to your needs. Your attorney needs to listen and make you feel confident that he/she is competent and capable or representing you; reassured that your questions and concerns have been addressed; and secure in your “game plan” as to how and when (and even if) the case is going to be handled from the time of initiation until the final resolution. 2. Concentration on Family Law: If you needed a heart transplant, you would not go to an optometrist…and you wouldn’t go to a general practitioner or “family doctor,” either. You would go to a specialist---a cardiologist. The same is true with lawyers. Any attorney can claim to be competent to handle your divorce or help you with a custody case, etc., but you need someone whose practice is concentrated in family law. Find out the attorney’s level of concentration on family law by asking the following questions: • What percentage of your practice is dedicated to family law? • How many cases have you had like mine? With my specific issues? • Are you a member of the local (city or state) family law section of the bar association? • Have you practiced in this particular county/court in the past? 3. Does your attorney have time for you? In your first meeting, if the attorney seems “too busy” to give you 100% of his/her attention, does not take time to answer all of your questions, or just does not seem to be listening to you--- keep looking! If you are still unsure of what the attorney’s commitment to your case will be at the end of your initial consultation, ask the following questions: • How many cases are you actively working right now? • How many cases would you take at any given time? How many cases would you consider to be a “full workload?” • Do you have a policy on returning phone calls/emails? • How often will you communicate with me?

• Is it your policy to send me copies of all correspondence and/or documents you receive from the opposing counsel and/or the court? 4. Piranha or Peacemaker? Ok, so piranha is a bit extreme…but the idea is very important. Many clients are very angry when they first meet with family law attorneys, and they might believe that they “need a real fighter” on their side who will promise to legally “punish” the opposing party. If that is what you believe you need or want, you can certainly find a “piranha-type attorney” who will infuse more conflict into your case and will refuse to resolve even the simplest of issues without a battle. If you think that is the type of attorney you want to represent you, consider the following: • The only people who win in high-conflict cases are the attorneys…the more you fight with your spouse, the more money the attorneys make. • Even though you might have to compromise to reach an agreement, you are in control of your future. You can determine what circumstances you can “live with.” Do you really want your future (and the future of your family and your children) to be determined by a judge who only has a few minutes to hear your life story before making a ruling? • The negativity that is created during family law cases will make it extremely difficult to have any future dealings and involvement with the other party after the case is over. Civility cannot be underrated. • If you have children, you have no excuse! Minimize the conflict in all ways possible for their benefit. 5. Let’s talk fees: Even though it might be an uncomfortable topic, it is absolutely necessary that you talk to the attorney about fees. You should have a fee agreement in writing from your attorney explaining in detail how the representation is going to work, how you will be billed, etc. If you do not understand something about the fee agreement, ask! You have every right to understand completely how you are agreeing to spend it! If you have concerns about the written fee agreement or find that it is not specific or clear, be sure to ask the following questions, at a minimum: • What is your hourly rate? • What is the minimum time increment for recording your time? • Will there be any other people in the firm that will be billing time on my case? • What are the billable rates of any others that could potentially be working on my case? • How often will I receive an invoice? • If I have a question about an invoice, to whom should I direct my question? • What methods of payment do you accept (i.e., credit cards, etc.)? • What can I do to help keep my fees to a minimum? • How much is my retainer? And, when my retainer is gone, what is your policy for additional payments after the retainer is gone?

Taking a fresh look at cotton Commentary by Ward Degler When I was in third grade we lived in a small town in southern Missouri. One of the industries of the region was plain talk cotton. Local farmers, still struggling to recover from the Great Depression, planted fields of cotton in early spring and harvested them by hand around the time school started in September. Our teacher arranged a field trip to one of these farms. There we watched the farmer, his wife and two sons walk slowly down the wooly rows, picking cotton one boll at a time and dropping it into bags they dragged behind them. When we left, we were each given a cotton boll. At home, my mother – who had never seen a cotton field – talked about the movie “Gone With the Wind” and the Civil War that changed our nation forever. All of this came back to me a couple weeks ago when my wife and I were returning from a Florida vacation and drove past cotton fields in southern Georgia. They looked just like the ones I had seen so many years ago – short, stubby, brown and white. Cotton was king in the days of southern plantations in more ways than I had imagined. Although cotton originally thrived in India,

American cotton was considered far superior. As a result, England, a major importer of the fiber, always bought American cotton. Then the Civil War erupted and England began buying Indian cotton. India invested heavily in meeting the British demand for cotton and overextended their financial resources to the extent that when the war ended in 1865 and England turned back to America for cotton, the Indian government was forced into bankruptcy. This spawned England’s colonial era in India. Folks don’t pick cotton by hand anymore. A Chicago inventor unveiled a mechanical picker in 1908. It picked one row at a time and replaced 40 workers. Today’s pickers zip through six rows at a time and collect up to 10,000 pounds per day. I kept my cotton boll for years. I suppose in one of my many moves over time it disappeared. Even so, despite a myriad of synthetic fabrics on the market today, it’s refreshing to note that cotton is still king.

Team launches MOPS in Romania By Chris Bavender • news@currentzionsville.com

For 10 days in October, four members of Zionsville Presbyterian Church visited Romania to help establish a Mothers of clubs Preschoolers group in four cities. It was all part of an effort that started last spring at a missionary conference in the eastern European country. “Women rushed up after the meeting to share that they had been praying that someone would come and share MOPS with them,” said Mindi McMillan, a volunteer with MOPS, an organization that exists to help empower moms and share the Christian faith. The women had learned about the organization through Facebook posts of Lili Stoian, who had immigrated to Zionsville from Romania in 2010. “Young Romanian moms today want to meet their neighbors but this can be very intimidating for them as it is breaking down societal walls,” McMillan said. “In rural Romania, the society is struggling to value the role of moms and wives, too. We were amazed when 25 churches stepped forward to ask us to start MOPS in Romania.” So McMillan, along with Lisa Price, Michele

Sutton and Dave Gall, visited four cities across the country – Fetest, Giorgiu, Alba Iulia and Cluj. “We spent many hours driving from town to town to make it accessible to all of the churches that wanted to start MOPS,” McMillan said. “Many of the women still drove four to six hours to meet us.” The four provided the basic needs of a MOPS group that many of the churches couldn’t – from name tags and craft supplies to decorations and logo items. At each location they shared the story of MOPS, what a typical MOPS group looks like and how to invite friends and neighbors to MOPS. Since their return, they’ve had other churches in Romania contact them for information on how they too can start a MOPS group. “We are praying that other local MOPS groups, MOPS alumni or interested individuals might be interested in helping us form church partnerships with each of these Romanian groups,” McMillan said. “This will be a virtual pen pal relationship for networking, support and encouragement.” McMillan said a return trip to Romania in the fall of 2016 to host a MOPS convention, or MomCon, is also in the works.

Zionsville woman founds Colombian Girl Jewelry to help artisans in her native country By Ann Marie Shambaugh • annmarie@youarecurrent.com

Acai berries. Coffee beans. Orange peel. They sound like items found in a health food shop, but for Carolina and Matt Locker of Zionsville, they are the ingredients for success. The Lockers own Colombian Girl Jewelry, a small cover story business that carries a line of necklaces, bracelets and more made from dried fruit. Customers love the natural fragrance, they said, but the sweetest part is all sales benefit the artisans in Colombia, Carolina’s native country. “Carolina’s job is to show [the product] to the U.S. and bring it to the marketplace,” Matt Locker said, “but at the same time be responsible about getting these women what they deserve, because they are the creators of this product.” Jewelry made from fruit is common in Colombia but new to most North Americans, Carolina said. When she saw how many people loved the jewelry in the U.S., the idea for Colombian Girl Jewelry was born. Carolina works with her aunt and uncle in Colombia to find and manage the artisans, who mostly live in poor areas of Bogota, the South American country’s capital city. The women can spend up to four or five hours making some of the more intricate pieces, but for them it’s well worth it. Many come from difficult backgrounds and have little to no opportunity to pursue higher education. “They depend on us to sell the jewelry so they have a job,” Carolina said. The fruit ranges from familiar to exotic, but it’s all found in the Amazon rainforests. Popular designs include roses crafted from rolled orange peels to colorful necklaces made from slices of the tagua nut. An unlikely meeting Matt Locker grew up in Crawfordsville, about 2,500 miles away from Carolina’s hometown of Fresno, Colombia. The two met while salsa dancing at an Indianapolis restaurant during the final months of Carolina’s two-year stint as an au pair nanny for a family in Fishers. “[Carolina and her friend] were making fun of us in Spanish,” Matt Locker said of their first meeting. “Most people wouldn’t have any idea what they were saying, but I had Spanish in the past so I answered her in Spanish.” “We felt so bad, because they understood,” Carolina recalled. The couple quickly hit it off, and Matt made trips to Colombia every two months during his final year in medical school to visit Carolina, who wanted to stay near her sister battling cystic fibrosis. After her sister passed away, Carolina made the tough decision to leave Colombia again. “That was the hardest part, leaving my mom after that,” Carolina said. “She got to come here to the states probably five years ago, and she understood I was fine.” The couple married in 2010 and spent five years in the Dallas area while Matt completed a medical residency. They moved to Zionsville in the summer of 2015 for Matt to take a job with Northwest Radiology. Based in Carmel, Matt specializes in mammography and breast imaging. The Lockers have a bedroom set aside in their new home for their frequent Colombian visitors, and they travel to the country once each year to visit family and check in on their artisans. “It’s amazing how this company is really entwined in her family and giving back to Colombia,” Matt said.

Thankful? Let’s count the ways Weren’t we all just celebrating summer and at its myriad festivals in our community? Hasn’t the weather, for the most part, been as close to perfect this fall as we’ve seen in quite some time? How stunning is it, then, that Thanksgiving is but two days away? Where did this year go? If you’re like us, you’ve been running at in excess of 100 mph through this thing we call life. If you’re like us, you probably (and sadly) haven’t taken time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak, very often. But, ah-ha, Thanksgiving weekend is at hand, and we absolutely will take the opportunity to chill out. We hope you will, too. Here’s to some down time, the opportunity to reflect, take stock and identify that for which you are gratified. No, not in the sappy TV commercial way; we mean in the real, honest-to-goodness way. With so much strife and sadness in our world today, it’s time we realize, no matter how burdened any of us might be (and that includes you, Hillary Clinton), we still have it far better than millions of others. Be appreciative of that. And don’t forget to overeat. ••• Inside today’s Current you will find our Gifts 2015, our annual holiday guide, which we hope you’ll make use of and enjoy. It’s a prelude to what we’re calling “an artful holiday.” As all forms of art are important to our readers, we considered the over-arching topic to be a no-brainer.

Retiring minds

Commentary by Terry Anker

Even as we Americans are living longer, healthier lives well into our advanced years, the notion of retirement eludes definition more now than ever. The United Nations claims that those of us lucky enough to reside in the “more developed” world can expect lifespans well into our 80s. Under present expectations of traditional retirement from ages 62 to 65 years-old, we are on notice that our leisure could extend for 20 full years or more. Millions internationally retire even earlier. So if we can look forward to having loads of high-quality, unencumbered time on our hands, retiring minds want to know – what will we do? Certainly, we collectively imagine a time when the routine troubles of the day are replaced with a greater focus on those things which we chose to undertake. But, is it possible to eliminate the mundane? Or, would we even want to if we could? It seems that I enjoy the routine of a morning coffee at home more now

than the diversity (and inconsistency) of a different ritual every day. Is retirement the absence of work? Can we commit to the action of no action? Experts on such matters argue that those happiest post-formal-career are those among us who immediately turn their attentions to other projects. Meaning, one can surmise, that something is life and nothing is death. Maybe imagined another way, we should march forward with a plan for the time after retirement that is as intentional as the time we spent in the work-a-day world. Golf, parttime work and volunteerism can serve to fill time. But satisfaction in these activities seems to come more from our objective in doing them than in the amount of time we spend pursuing. Can it be enough to pick a date without making a plan? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE WEEK As you grow older, you will discover you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

– Audrey Hepburn

Prepare to be amazed, people, for I have figured out the secret to life! Or at least, the secret to predetermining the humor amount of time and money you’ll be investing when you child comes home and announces she wants to join the team. I’ve had a great deal of time to think about this, and unfortunately, wasted too many hours wallowing in disappointment and bitterness. But my losses will be your gain so that you will never again wander blindly into an online sign-up without fully understanding to what hell you are committing. See, the problem lies in the type of activity about which your precious little angel dreams. If he decides on soccer, basketball or football, you’re golden. These sports have seasons – easy to plan for and easy to get out of. Even when you land in the crazy world of club travel, at least you’ll know ahead of time that a game lasts two hours and that the side with the most points wins. They key word here folks is game. A volleyball game, a lacrosse game. Games are good. Games mean scores and time limits and referees. We like games. But have your ever heard of a dance game? Or a marching band game? No. And therein lies the key to eternal maternal happiness. Because when you find yourself saying things like “Maddie has a dance competition this weekend” or “Andrew is going to a Tai Kwon Do tournament,” all bets are off. You’ll never understand why a stupid judge picked the barely-clothed tapper over your daughter after having spent 48 hours in the bowels of a local high school for seven total minutes of your child on stage. Or why Johnny won the sparring event even though your son clearly went Korean-medieval on the kid. If you can’t insert the word game behind the competitive portion of your offspring’s activity, you’re doomed. Prepare to show them the money, leave most events feeling confused and frustrated, and waste whole weekends doing show hair or playing Angry Birds. Remember, “game” is good. And, you’re welcome. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel. com.

Thinking ‘bout Lincoln Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart” was a comedy recording released on vinyl back in 1960. Newhart’s humor shtick was to enact one side of a conversation (often on the phone) in such a way that you could imagine what the other person might be saying on the other end. So why is this iconic comedian (who is still performing at age 86) in my thoughts this week? All because of a passing remark by presidential candidate Jeb Bush, frustrated by conflicting advice he is getting from his consultants and advisors. “If Lincoln were running today,” jabbed Jeb, “someone would be telling him to shave off the beard.” Sorry, Jeb, but Bob Newhart was way ahead of you on this – precisely 55 years before you. “I was thinking,” said Newhart as he begins his brilliant monologue, “what if there was no Lincoln back during the Civil War, and the advertising executives had to create one?” Then, Newhart, playing a “Mad Men” ad executive, chides Abe for thinking about changing his appearance: “The beard, shawl, stovepipe hat, and string tie are all part of the image,

Abe.” He asks Lincoln not to type his speeches but to write them on the backs of envelopes. “We want it to look like you wrote it while on the train.” Then he discovers that Lincoln has been busy editing his upcoming address at Gettysburg: “You made a few changes?” questions an exasperated Newhart (long pause while he listens to Lincoln’s response). “You say you changed four score and seven to 70? That would be like Marc Antony saying, ‘Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I’ve got something I want to tell you.’” Then Newhart says to Lincoln, “Please leave it the way Charlie wrote it.” Listening to this classic sketch on YouTube doesn’t have quite the same charm it did when I first heard it on my Victrola. But I have no way of truly comparing those two experiences, since I no longer have a record of it. ( The full version of this column is available at www.currentzionsville.com)

Santa, singing and more at ISO’s Yuletide Celebration

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentzionsville.com

There’s a long Santa’s list of things to like about the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s annual IPL Yuletide Celebration. But what dancer/singer/ family fun choreographer Anne Beck cherishes the most is the reaction she sees from the children in the audience “I can see the joy in their eyes,” said the Fishers performer, who will be making her ninth consecutive appearance in the proBeck gram. “To be an elf onstage and see them giggle … to be in a gown and see that look that kids get in their eye like when they see a Disney princess for the first time … to see and hear their giddiness when the Tap Dancing Santa’s enter the stage … that’s magic. “To do this show for kids and their families and to see their joy is so very rewarding.” Opening Dec. 4 and continuing through Dec. 23, “IPL Yuletide Celebration” returns to Hilbert Circle Theatre for the 30th time. Vocalist Sandi Patty is back as host and Pops Conductor Jack Everly leads the ISO. A huge cast of singers and dancers present a program that includes last year’s Disney’s “Frozen” segment, including “Let it Go,” and Yuletide Jukebox, featuring a medley of pop holiday tunes such Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Two longtime favorites, the reading of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” and the popular Tap Dancing Santa’s also return. Despite the repetition of guaranteed favorites in the program, Beck says the show never gets old. “While certain elements are repeated, the entire show, on the whole, changes so it is easy to keep things fresh,” said Beck, a fulltime professor and instructor at Ball State’s acclaimed theater and dance department. “Being on Broadway and on national tours and doing the same show for years at a time, you learn how to keep things new fresh every night that curtain goes up. “Then, there are always new cast members each year who

help bring the show new excitement.” In addition to dancing in the show, Beck is co-choreographer, assisting choreographer Jen Ladner with creating the movement. Once the steps are taught, she works with the cast to clean up, tighten, clarify, polish and help make the songs and dances come to life. Beck is no stranger to the ISO, having been involved with or performed in several Pops concerts. She also has performed in several of its musicals, including “Guys and Dolls” with Hal Linden, “Hello Dolly” with Gary Beach and Sandi Patty and “Hairspray” with John Waters and Micky Dolenz. While spending 14 years in New York City, she performed on Broadway, with national Broadway tours and in regional theaters across the country. Now living in Indiana, she has appeared on the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre stage as Mimi in “Rent” and Cassie in “A Chorus Line,” has choreographed several shows for Civic and directed the Carmel theater’s “Cat in the Hat.” She currently is choreographing Civic’s “Mary Poppins” and, as the resident choreographer for the Indianapolis Men’s Choir, working on its

holiday show, as well. Her proudest “production” however, is her daughter, Nya, a first grader at Lantern Road Elementary. Nya joins mom in “Yuletide Celebration,” repeating last year’s role as one of the children in the “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” scene. She takes dance at the Academy of Dance Arts in Fishers and junior Civic performing arts classes at the Civic Theatre. “I’m not sure if she will continue in my footsteps, but she definitely loves being in the show with me,” Beck said. “She blows my mind daily on her enthusiasm for life, and I thank her for being my inspiration in everything I do.”

Thanksgiving week games By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley In the words of the late and great Yogi Berra, reading this column you may think “it’s déjà vu all over again.” And since every year we seem to have pro, college and some high school games on Thanksgiving week, you may recognize we write a column about this particular week every year. This year will be no exception. This season we have a new recipe for turkey soup. TURKEY SOUP Ingredients: Turkey meat, carcass, drippings, skin and non-liver giblets, seasonings for stock: one yellow onion, chopped carrots, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, celery, pepper corns, salt and pepper, 8 medium carrots with tops, onions, 6 celery stalks with tops. Seasonings for the finished soup are poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouillon cube., 2 garlic cloves. Making Stock: Remove all the usable turkey meat (dark is more flavorful) from the turkey carcass to save it for adding to the soup. Break up the larger leftover bones of the carcass enough so they don’t take up as much room in the pot. Put the leftover bones and skin into a large stockpot and cover with cold water by an inch. Add drippings that weren’t used to make gravy and giblets that haven’t been used. Add a yellow onion that has been quartered, 3 medium chopped carrots with tops, parsley, thyme, a bay leaf, 1 celery stalk chopped and the tops of all the celery stalks, and some peppercorns. Bring this stock to a boil and immediately reduce heat so liquid barely simmers. Skim off any floaties as they rise to the surface of the stock. Add about 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, depending on how big your turkey is.

Take your leftovers and make delicious turkey soup. (Submitted photo)

Cook for at least 4 hours, uncovered or partially uncovered, so as the stock reduces, occasionally skim-off any foam from the surface. Remove the bones and veggies and strain the stock through a mesh strainer. Making the turkey soup: With stock already made, add chopped carrots, onions, and celery in equal parts. Add some parsley and a couple cloves of garlic. Add seasoning – poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouillon cube. Cook at a bare simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. Take plenty of the remaining turkey meat you reserved earlier, cube it into bite sized pieces and add to the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cool this soup overnight in the fridge. Game Day: The morning of the game, you should spoon off any fat from the top of the soup pot before heating. Now heat the soup to a simmer. Cook a large bag of soup egg noodles and add to the soup. Serve in mugs with chunks from a long baguette for dipping.

Kale salad

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

I love kale because it is a powerhouse! But, for a long time I struggled with recipes that my kids would not run away from! Kale sautéed with salt/pepper, garlic and lemon has become a household favorite. Recently I was trying to graduate my boys from the sautéed kale and move them forward to the next level: kale salads! I was so thrilled when I found this delicious, colorful and tasty salad recipe that is going to make you want to go for seconds! This Thanksgiving you will be surprised to have many kale converts at your dinner table with this hearty salad. Great side for turkey. Note: Kale is a powerful superfood! It is loaded with high amount of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and is anti-carcinogenic. Serves: 5 Ingredients: 2 cups peeled, cubed butternut or other winter squash (you can find it at Trader’s Joe), extra-virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 bag (10 oz.) kale, stem removed and leaves finely sliced, 1/4 cup almonds or hazelnuts, cut roughly in half, 1/4 cup crumbled or finely chopped Collier’s Welsh Cheddar (Trader’s Joe) or parmesan, fresh lemon Directions: Preheat oven to 425F.

season with salt and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet, leaving space between the cubes. Roast them until tender and caramelized, about 40 minutes, tossing with a spatula every 10 minutes. Toast the nuts on a baking sheet in the same oven until they start to smell nutty, tossing every few minutes. Let cool. In a large mixing bowl, toss the kale with the almonds, cheese, and squash. Season to taste with lemon juice about 1 tablespoon and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in a festive salad bowl.

Whitestown brothers battle rare kidney disease By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Like other boys his age, 12-year-old Eli Fox is interested in sports. He wrestles for Lebanon Middle School, plays profile soccer and recently received his second go-karting championship ring from the Southern Indiana Racing Association. What’s unusual is that Eli and his brother, Isaac, 9, have an extremely rare genetic disease known as ARPKD - autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease - occurring in approximately 1 in 20,000 individuals. Although parents Jamie and Morgan Fox of Whitestown are each carriers of the recessive gene that causes ARPKD, no one on either side of the family has ever had it. Doctors at Riley Hospital for Children told the family that out of their 12 patients with ARPKD, two of them are Fox children. “The disease is inevitably going to shut down their kidneys,” Jamie said. Both boys will eventually need liver and kidney transplants and will be put on a transplant list when their kidneys begin to show signs of deterioration, but doctors are optimistic about the boys’ future. In the meantime the boys are on oral medi-

cations and semi-annual doctor visits, but the Fox parents agreed that they would let very little stop their kids from doing the things that other kids do. “They were born with this, that’s all they know, they won’t let this slow them down, and we won’t either,” Jamie Fox said. “It’s one of those deals where you can’t keep them in a bubble.” Isaac is following in his brother’s racing

footsteps along with third son Ezra, 7, who does not have ARPKD. Every September the family participates in the PKD Walk to show support and raise awareness for all of those struggling with the disease. “Going to Riley all these years, we’ve seen a lot of kids less fortunate,” Jamie said. “It makes it hard to feel sorry for yourself.”

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

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a bright and airy bathroom with a spa-like feel. 1. A large custom shower with a glass enclosure allowed the room to remain bright and spacious. 2. The separate toilet room was eliminated making the room feel significantly larger. 3. The tub deck and countertops were replaced with durable and low maintenance quartz. 4. White cabinetry with chrome fixtures helped contribute to the spa feel desired by the homeowners. 5. Stacked cabinetry and a drawer stack provided additional storage at the vanities. 6. Bright paint and new custom lighting contributed to the transitional style and overall feel of the space.

Before

Background Info: This home is located on the north side of Zionsville. Built 23 years ago, the master bathroom needed a fresh new custom update.

Before problems: The outdated bathroom was dark and overall very cramped for space. The oversized green cultured marble soaking tub was too large for the space and made the small room feel even smaller. The faucet leaked and did not function properly. The large window was underutilized because of its inconvenient bolt_half_page_ad_Layout 1 11/17/15 8:20 AM Page 1 location.

The picturesque towns of Bodega and Bodega Bay, along the Pacific Coast Highway about 70 miles north of San Frantravel cisco, are famous as the location of “The Birds,” Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror movie. Visitors coming to photograph the movie’s featured Potter School often overlook a nearby expression of gratitude following a different kind of horror. In 1994, the Green family from Bodega Bay was vacationing in southern Italy. Two armed robbers attacked the family car, shooting 7-year-old Nicholas in the head. When Nicholas died two days later, his parents donated his heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas and cornea, benefiting seven Italians. Because Italians at the time were not organ donors, this act of generosity caught the attention of the Italian press and soon led to a dramatic increase in organ donations in Italy, a result attributed to the “Nicholas effect.” The Italian public was so touched by the Greens’ act of kindness in the face of griev-

ous loss that families, individuals, schools and churches began sending bells to the family as expressions of gratitude. A large bell was sent by the Marinelli Foundry in Agnone, Italy, which has been making bells for the Pope for more than 1,000 years and is one of the three oldest family businesses in the world. The bell, blessed by Pope John Paul II, includes the names of the recipients of Nicholas’ organs. San Francisco sculpture Bruce Hasson assembled the 140 bells onto a wooden frame along Highway 1 just north of Bodega Bay. Called “The Children’s Bell Tower,” the memorial honors Nicholas Green and all the children of the world whose lives have been cut short by violence. It also gives thanks to the generosity of the Green family, who recognized that the tragic death of their son could give others a chance for a better life.
