Rosie’s Place gives life to building Staff report

Almost nine months after signing the lease, owners Debbi and Michael Bourgerie have opened the doors of Rosie’s Place - a breaknow open fast and lunch restaurant and bakery. The Bourgeries hired architect Mark Demerley to give the building the same character they felt it once had. Demerley said he consulted old photos “to restore the glory of the building.” His goal was to create a balance between the first and second floor. The remodel harkens back to the building’s appearance in the 1960s when it was Elliott’s Drug Store. Landlord and former pharmacist Charlie Elliott ensured that the building structure and other systems were reinforced and updated. “I couldn’t have done it without Charlie,” Michael said. “It was very much a team effort.” Demolition was a major undertaking, but Bourgerie said it yielded some interesting stories.

On the north side of the building, different colored bricks marked the outline of a door. Bourgerie had the idea to use that as an alternate entrance. During demolition, he said “there was an actual door in the wall. It was bricked and plastered over.” He hopes to use that original door somewhere else in the building along with a pair of large back doors that were discovered. While tearing apart the wall, the crew found a section of wallpaper with two handwritten names - Maurice Kessler and his then-fiancee Lou Ann - and the date 1963. Kessler, who has known Elliott for decades and currently works for him, happened to be standing in the room at the time. The crew cut out the piece of wallboard and presented it to him as a souvenir. In addition to sit-down meals, Rosie’s Place features a bakery selling scones, bars and cookies, along with cakes and pies sold whole or by the slice. Through Rosie’s e-commerce Website cookies and coffee are shipped all over the U.S. and to soldiers and expatriates around the world.

Big Dave’s: 6 more months

By Kristen Yates • news@currentzionsville.com

After 15 long years, Dave Chapman has earned the right to call it quits. Working long hours week after week to bring the Small Biz community of Zionsville delistyle dishes, Chapman thought he was done for good when the lease on his deli came up for renewal this month. He told Current previously that he was ready to retire and sell his business. But, when word got out that he wanted to close or sell off Big Dave’s Deli & Meat, at 1225 W. Oak St., Zionsville, the community responded. Chapman’s landlord said that because everyone was so upset at him leaving, he would offer Chapman a 6-month extension on his lease. Chapman now has until June to say goodbye to his customers or sell it to someone who will continue Big Dave’s legacy. “When the community found out about the closing there were petitions trying to keep me open. Even kids that had gone off to college started sending me pictures of them holding cardboard signs saying ‘We’ll Miss You Big Dave,’” Chapman said. The deli shop has been a staple in the town of Zionsville for more than a decade. Customers have let Big Dave’s become a part of their daily routines. Now open seven days a week instead of the usual six,d Chapman plans to continue his hard work and make sure that his customers

know how much he appreciates their constant support. “I am overwhelmed at the amount of support and love that the community has shown me in these past few months. I am lucky to have this place and very humbled that I will be missed,” he said.

Monday reads for Brick Street By Brittany Fleetwood news@currentzionsville.com Poetry on Brick Street had Donna Monday, a published poet, speak at their open mic poetry reading theis month. After diversion sharing many of her treasured works, other poets were given the opportunity to do the same. The event was free and open to the public at SullivanMunce Culteral Center in downtown Zionsville. All Donna Monday ever wanted to do is write with all of her heart, and she did. Since the age of 12, she has been writing poetry after one of her poems was published in her local newspaper, the Greenfield Reporter. Her father, also a writer, carried that published piece in his wallet for decades. Today, Monday has achieved many other accomplishments in literature after finding her niche and passion in writing and reading children’s poetry. She authored Dancing in the Alley, a collection of her poetry published by Author House in 2011. She once edited for the Times Sentinel, a local Zionsville newspaper, in addition to writing the news, obituaries, sports and other features. Her most prized and popular work was having a humor column she titled “Monday Madness” in the newspaper. “I like humor,” she says, “It’s probably my forte. I like to see things that tickle my fancy.” Though poetry has been her life passion, Mon-

day has also been a fifth-grade teacher and an award-winning automobile saleswoman for Pearson Ford. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Hanover College, as well as graduate work from Butler University and Indiana Wesleyan. After 22 years at the dealership, she recently retired and now writes a column for the Current and attends poetry readings, sticking to her roots as a writer. When she isn’t writing, she takes pride in spending time with her two children and six wonderful grandchildren. When asked what words of advice she can pass onto other poets, she said, “Keep writing. Frankly, it sounds easy but it’s not. Just keep writing no matter what.” Poetry on Brick Street meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month.

What’s next for Zionsville in 2015?

Reorganization On Dec. 12, Chief Judge of the Indiana Court of Appeals Nancy Vaidik granted an order to expedite an appeal that was requested by the town of Zionsville in the case between Zionsville and Whitestown. This order states that the appellee, Whitestown, must file its brief on or before Jan. 12, 2015. On Dec. 8 Zionsville filed its brief outlining reasons to expedite the case. Vaidik If Zionsville wins its case in the court of appeals, current Zionsville Town Council president Jeff Papa will become interim mayor for the year 2015. (He was chosen as such by the town council earlier this month.) After Papa’s time as interim mayor a full-time mayor would then be elected by Zionsville and Perry Township residents. “The timeline for the appeal is really unknown,” stated Papa.

Q&A with Jeff Papa If the reorganization goes into effect, what should the mayor’s focus be in 2015? The mayor’s focus in 2015 should be all of the executive functions, but most importantly to set up the function and flow of how the mayor’s office and powers should function and relate to the council and staff. The plan was crafted to prohibit the transitional Papa mayor from running for a full term in 2015 so that the person selected would focus on setting up the best practices, not on reelection as mayor.

Taxes - Did you know that in 2015, the federal gov-

ernment is likely to start taxing online purchases? According to a study done by Columbia University: “Many online merchants that do not collect sales tax have a pricing advantage over traditional stores that must, under law, collect sales tax. Online shoppers are supposed to submit payment for tax due, but almost no one does. As a result, many online purchases are tax-free and cheaper than in-store purchases.” Although the bill to stop this was stalled in the House of Representatives in July, it will be revisited in 2015. To read more about tax changes and loopholes in 2015, go to Dough page 18.

Village In 2015, the Village of Zionsville will see some changes. For one, several stores and restaurants will be making use of economic development and façade grants from the town. ••• One place that is getting a facelift in Ken spring 2015 is Ken Price’s Potpourri Price’s Building on North Main Street. The Potpouri building’s First Street backside will likely be under construction when Price receives a façade grant from the town. The project is expected to cost more than $39,000. ••• In May, My Sugar Pie owner Kelly Maucere is will go before the Zionsville Plan Commission to ask for approval of installing a refrigeration unit in her building. ••• Vectren’s work in Zionsville is nearly complete, but there is still one section left of a project to upgrade nearly four miles of pipeline affecting 330 homes in the Village. According to Vectren’s Senior Operations Officer Brian Hall, Miller Pipeline has 3,000 feet of pipe left to replace. The project, which began in late summer, is scheduled to be completed by spring. West Pine Street, West Hawthorne Street, Laurel Street, 9th and 8th Streets are still left to repair. ••• In 2015, zWorks, the first-ever co-working location in Zionsville is expected to open on or near Main Street. Co-founder and Zionsville resident Dan Moyers said, “One of the most important things that were trying to make sure comes through with what we’re doing is really about economic development but it’s sort of underpinned with co-working space.” To read more about zWorks, visit currentzionsville.com.

Restaurants The Noblesville-based café and bakery, Rosie’s Place, had a soft opening on Dec. 19, and will have its grand opening and ribbon cutting in January. On the corner of Main and Cedar Streets, the café has renovated the former Eagle Creek Coffee Company location, and is still hiring kitchen and staff employees. To read more about this restaurant and a review of its food, visit currentzionsville.com.

Some new storefronts will be opening in 2015, including but not limited to the new strip mall, called The Gateway Shops, on Michigan Road in front of Marsh SuThe permarket. This is Gateway being built by SanShoppes dor Constructions. According to leasing agent Drew Kelly, of the six units being built, only one tenant, Art Van of Pure Sleep, is confirmed. One unit is listed under a pending lease contract with National Hair Salon. Four more units will be available for new tenants, with each space allowing for shop owners to lease up to 3,000 square-feet at a time, if units are combined. Key features of the Gateway Shops: • 11,814 square-foot retail center • Flexible space sizes available to tenants signing earliest leases • Adjacent to 24-hour Marsh Marketplace serving west Carmel & Zionsville • Across from proposed Walmart

Schools Zionsville school leaders started the Fix-It Coalition last spring to aid lowest-funded Indiana public schools by promoting legislative change to the state’s school funding formula. Zionsville receives $832 less per student than the state average funding from the legislated formula. Leaders of the Fix-It Coalition have proposed legislative solutions that do not negatively impact schools of poverty. They seek to fix their bottom-funded Robison status because many have faced staffing losses that led to class size increases and program cuts. “We have made serious cuts and sustained them to live within these means, but our students continue to miss out on important offerings found in many Indiana schools like Project Lead the Way (pre-engineering), International Baccalaureate Program and elementary physical education,” said Dr. Scott Robison, Superintendent of Schools. Fix-It Coalition leaders plan to continue educating stakeholders and legislators about the consequences of their lowest funded status among Indiana’s public schools in 2015. School make-up days in 2015: Given last year’s heavy winter weather, Dr. Robison addressed school make-up days in a letter to parents on Dec. 17. He stated: “the first two snow days (if needed) would be made up in the first week of June per our school calendar.” He also noted that if the schools need more than two make-up days due to this winter’s weather, ZCS will determine how the schools are allowed to proceed with full state authorization, and then decide “what is best for ZCS students,” including the option of e-learning days. Also on the agenda for schools in 2015: completion of the high school’s new construction and completion of the storage facility behind Pleasant View Elementary. For more on these building projects, visit currentzionsville.com.

Development Hat World LLC, the corporate headquarters of Lids, Hat World is expected to be open by fall of 2015. ••• On Dec. 18, SmartIT announced its plans to relocate its headquarters to Zionsville, creating up to 85 new jobs by 2018.

An information technology staffing and solutions company, SmartIT will invest $4.5 million in the Northwest Tech Park, with the relocation to occur in early 2015. SmartIT already employs 160 associates in Indiana and Jeff Papa with has already Paul Rothwell, started its hiring SmartIT COO. process for the new headquarters.

streets Plans for several projects for Zionsville’s streets are being planned for next year with much focus on the Creekside Corporate Park area. The Lids corporate headquarters will be getting modifications to its entrance and across the street internal roads will be constructed to help facilitate movement within the park. Lantz “Beyond our annual repair projects is a modification to 106th street to improve the entrance into Lids corporate headquarters, which will be opening next fall as I understand,” Zionsville Supt. of Streets and Stormwater Lance Lantz said. “That entrance modification is also the starting point to Creekside Corporate Park. There may or may not be some degree of construction starting next year on that site development as far as interior roadways. The modification to Lids is certainly a go. That contract will be let in the spring. The redevelopment plan commission is taking a very aggressive approach to that in trying to determine exactly what they can afford to have constructed next year.”

The traffic light that is Ford Road and under Bloor Road conRoundabout struction map at 116th and Main Street, which leads to Corporate Park via 116th, will be completed in early 2015. “Our biggest problem we’re encountering right now is, due to the weather, the installation for the lane striping,” Lantz said. “People need to be told what the new lanes are for and given the cold temperatures it’s very difficult to put lane markings down. We’re currently working with our designers and contractor to come up with an approach that will allow that signal to go live as soon as possible and may require, internally, us painting lines frequently over the winter to keep them visible till the final product can be applied in the spring.” Another street project coming 2015 is the construction of a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of Ford Road and Bloor Lane.

Whitestown Although not technically a part of Zionsville, Whitestown is booming with development and growth. In 2015, the area of Anson will see expanded retail and restaurant options for Boone County. Whitestown will be opening its new Pizza King come early January. According to Norton the Whitestown Pizza King social media site the opening is scheduled for Jan. 5, 2015. A large retail center is being contemplated in the town, but plans for construction may

be as far away as 2016. Other, smaller outlets are scheduled to be complete in 2015 with one near the new Meier in Anson. Whitestown Town Manager Dax Norton said, “There’s a couple of outlets, small strip centers; what they call power centers, coming. [There’s] one close to Meier. There’s one finishing up now and there will be another one coming along in 2016. Obviously there’s word of a potential major retail center coming in 2016. Not sure if we’re starting in ’16 or not. We’ll know something about that by mid-January. Other projects planned in Whitestown for 2015 are mostly multi-family housing.

Holiday memories

FROM THE BACKSHOP Union strikes out on RTW challenge Unions, in general, mystify us. One of us has been a card-carrying member (against his will, no less) of a newspaper-representing organization (term used loosely) and both of us have worked in environs where “the union rule” oftentimes prevented work from being done in an orderly fashion. We understand unions ostensibly exist to negotiate for employee rights, but some of the antics that have resulted in pure ugliness are, we believe, not what the founders of organized labor intended. But up through the years the sleaze factor has redlined, and these days it encompasses challenges of multiple laws. Could it be the left is so crafty as to get liberal judges elected to help organized labor achieve on its goals? Well, yes, although as conservatives we don’t like to recognize such genius (Did we really just use that word?). In general, we believe some voters are too uninformed to fully understand the ramifications of electing liberals to the bench. And so the announcement earlier this month that the Indiana Supreme Court rejected a United Steelworkers Union challenge to our state’s Right to Work law, was met with no small amount of excitement across our metro region. The USW actually argued that unions have a right to force workers to pay for their unwanted organizational services. It just doesn’t make sense. Workers have been forced to pay union dues just to keep their jobs, despite the fact that they do not belong to the union nor sought the union’s representation. We’re glad the Supreme Court justices saw the forest for the trees on this one. ••• Local government floods our inboxes with a lot of information, and even some of it actually is important. We won’t isolate the guilty parties, but recent missives have warned us that if we’re going to be partying on New Year’s Eve we should consume high-protein foods to help sideline the effects of booze. We also learned that local police will drive by your home if you’re on vacation. It’s your tax dollars hard at work, folks. Happy New Year!

Season’s greetings

Commentary by Terry Anker

Ecclesiastes accurately claims, “to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...” While my youngest credits the Peter Seeger lyrics to the 1965 Byrds song “Turn, Turn, Turn” that he has memorized from his 26 watchings of “Forest Gump,” the Bible, pardon the pun, is the genesis of the apt description of the natural patterns of life. There was a time, not so very long ago, that we were attending the weddings of our own contemporaries and close friends. The late spring and summer months would find us travelling on seemingly every weekend to some hometown bridal destination. But as the years have marched on, most of us have comfortably settled into life. Save the occasional remarriage or renewal of vows, our June weekends have been largely nuptially unencumbered. Yet as the verse predicted, with the end of one season another has begun. Now we are finding our way to the ceremonies of the children of our friends. Somehow, these youngsters have ma-

tured to adulthood and have initiated their own routes to the altar. And, we consider ourselves lucky to be included in the procession of it all. The hopeful nature of engagement and eager expectation of a new life together inspires reflection on the accumulated wisdom of our own successes, and failures, in marriage. What advice would, or should, we offer to the newlyweds? Can our own lives serve as a suitable guide? Make a commitment to the institution of marriage as much as to the other person. Remember that love and commitment are not the same thing. Laugh. Be honest. Don’t conflate caring for each other with taking care of each other. Understand what matters, and what doesn’t. And most importantly, enjoy each season, rain or shine, secure in knowing that as one passes another will follow. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.

– Andrew Carnegie

Two phrases you never want to hear around the holidays are “The toilet is overflowing” and “The tree just fell over.” Luckily for your entertainment, both were uttered in my household recently. Enjoy! I was already at work, trying to get settled for the day, when I received a frantic phone call from my husband Doo. “Get. Home. NOW.” Huh? He went on to explain, quite hysterically I might add, how he was in the midst of sopping up run over from our main floor commode but had an eight-o’clock meeting he simply could not miss. During our terse conversation, all hell broke loose when the potty literally erupted like Old Faithful. I could only imagine the scene: Doo in his dress slacks and buttondown shoving his hands to block the geyser of filth attempting to drown him and the rest of our poor bathroom while shouting obscenities over the phone. Needless to say, he hung up with some additional solid cursing and a “You’ll have to take the day off. I’m out.” Momma to the rescue! I organized a substitute (or rather had our secretary; I hadn’t the slightest idea how to find someone on such short notice!), jumped in the van, called the plumber (who of course couldn’t be there until noon and maybe not until five) and arrived back at the house to find 13 soaked beach towels and a thankfully now-draining john. (Later I discovered a leak into our finished basement but by that point there was nothing to do but lay more towels and sanitize with Lysol.) When the plumber finally took a look-see (at 2:30 p.m. by the way), of course he couldn’t find anything out of sorts: “You definitely had a blockage but it seems to have cleared itself, ma’am.” No schnitzel, Sherlock! A whole day wasted to learn nothing but the obvious. Good times, go-od times. Then the following afternoon, on my way home, my middle son calls and announces quite casually, “Ugh, the Christmas tree just fell over.” The 13-foot, real Douglas fir fully-decorated with large, fire-hazard lights and hundreds of sentimental fragile ornaments? Yes, that one. Glockenspiel! How many disasters can a gal take? When I walked through the door, I saw our entire family room littered with shards of wood and glass, pine needles, and of course, a huge conifer laid out on the sofa. I wanted to cry, such was the sad sight, but instead, posted a picture entitled “Timmmberrr!” to Facebook. Misery does love company. Life happens, my friends, and usually when you least expect it. I hope you were able to make some holiday memories for yourself, but with much less mess! Peace out.

It’s a tree-for-all Commentary by Dick Wolfsie At Linda Greene’s house, it’s always Christmas. In her modest home in New humor Palestine, she has around 100 decorated Christmas trees. She’s not sure exactly how many there are because she has never taken the time to count them. That’s because her husband really doesn’t want to know. What makes this story unique is that the trees are continually on display, always decorated. They are up the whole year, 24/7. ‘Tis the season. All the time. Such was not always the case. When Linda first started her artificial tree collection in the ’70s, she trimmed each one for the holiday season, then meticulously wrapped each ornament and carefully stored it for the following December. Sound familiar? But with her current collection, Linda estimates that trimming all the trees would take six months and the process of undecorating would take another six months. Even I can do that math. It was Charlie, her husband, who finally relented and suggested they stay up year-round. “Yes, it was his idea,” said Linda, “and the only time he regrets it is when it’s hard to find a place in the house to sit down.” The trees fill all three floors of the home. All in decorative pots, they overwhelm the bathrooms, occupy most of the living room and make negotiating a trip through the master bedroom somewhat of a challenge. “I can’t bear to see a

branch without ornaments; that’s almost criminal,” said Linda. New trees are only occasionally added. Few, if any, are ever retired from service. “Taking down a tree to make room for another,” Linda explained, “would be like abandoning one of my grandchildren.” Instead, she painstakingly rearranges the existing trees, sometimes zigzagging them into a different pattern. “I may be at a tipping point,” she admited. “There really isn’t any more room.” She does admit there’s one tree in the closet that she needs to find a place for. Happy hunting. Each tree is themed, adorned with items Linda finds in antique stores and seasonal shops. There’s a ballerina tree, one with antique toys, another with Raggedy Ann dolls, an Indianapolis Colts tree, a snowman tree and one with nothing but gumdrops. One tree sits in an antique fire bucket and has a red hose as a garland. All the ornaments are toy fire trucks and related items. Linda Greene is the perfect ambassador for the holidays, sharing her passion and answering all questions about her unique home. “What’s your electric bill this time of year?” I asked her. “THAT, we don’t talk about,” she told me.

A small display of mistletoe greeted me at the store the other day. Each sprig was tied with a red ribbon and stapled into a plain talk clear plastic bag. A sign said something about Christmas tradition. It reminded me that my grandfather used to hit the woods after the first killing frost and shoot mistletoe out of the treetops with his .22 rifle. He packaged the sprigs and sold them to earn some Christmas cash. Because of Grandpa, we always had mistletoe at Christmas, and it was always hanging over some popular gathering spot, like the eggnog table or in the doorway to the kitchen. And somebody was always getting kissed as they passed under it. Mostly, it was guys laying in wait for their favorite maiden to happen by. The girls meanwhile, tended to hang back and wait for their pick of the litter to show up. There was a lot of not so subtle maneuvering going on, and more than a little bit of trickery, like when the best looking guy would stand under the mistletoe only to step aside for Hagar the Horrible as soon as the pretty lass showed up. The deal was, no one could refuse a kiss. The tradition had its origins back in Druid days in England. Like most Druid things it involved white robes, lavish ceremony and promises of

fertility on the sixth day of the moon. The kissing part of the tradition was born in England when country villages looked like Christmas cards and people went from place to place by horse and sleigh. Back then it was the girls who held sway under the mistletoe, while the guys kept their distance. A kiss under the mistletoe was considered a promissory note, pledging fidelity and a wedding. Girls who missed out understood they wouldn’t marry for at least a year. Mistletoe is a parasite. Actually, a hemiparasite which means it can live on its own for awhile, but only until it can tap into its host tree. Once established, it can also multiply to the point it kills its host -- unusual since a parasite’s first responsibility is normally to keep its host healthy. There are dozens of different species of mistletoe around the world, but for all you botany students, the one we have in the U.S. is phoradendron leucarpum. What all of this has to do with Christmas kissing remains a mystery. Still, colliding with someone under the mistletoe still calls for a kiss. And it doesn’t even have to be the sixth day of the moon. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog.

ZSI chairs thank community To the Editor, What a great way to ring in the Holiday Season, Christmas in the Village and the Zionsville Show Choirs Carol of Homes. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community of Zionsville, parents, students, visitors and the Zionsville Merchants for helping to make the third Annual Carol of Homes such a success. This premier holiday event has grown each year since its inception and we are so excited to have welcomed over 400 guests into six beautifully decorated homes on Dec. 6. The unique part of the Carol of Homes is the Show Choir students in each home sharing their talents. Over the years, the Royalaires and Choralaires have been amazing audiences with their shows and we are grateful to have them perform in a more intimate setting during the Holiday Home Tour. Thank you to the directors of the Choirs, Aaron Coates and Deana Broge, for their willingness to work on this fundraising project.

This event would not be a success and kickoff to the Holiday Season without the following; the six homeowners that graciously opened their doors for visitors throughout the day. Their decorating and hospitality were amazing. Over 20 Zionsville Merchants that donated decorated wreaths for the month long wreath auction. Their efforts and creativity were greatly appreciated and we loved being a partner with the businesses. Thank you to over 100+ students that gave up their Saturday to bring the sounds of the season to all of our guests throughout the day. Thank you to all who turned out for the third Annual Home Tour. We are looking forward to six new homes next year! Don’t forget to mark Dec. 5, 2015 on your calendar. Sincerely, Erin Leonard & Jen Luczak ZSI Fundraising Co-Chairs

Since the 1990s, entrepreneurs and philanthropist, Carolyn and Terry Anker have hosted a popular black-tie Christmas gala at their Carmel home. Hundreds of friends social scene and family gather together for conversation, networking and exquisite food from Indianapolis area personal chef Matt Krueger. A generous bar, with wine and premium mixed drinks, contributes to the festive mood of the holiday spirit. This year, the event was celebrated on Dec. 20. The house was beautifully decorated with three large trees in the family room, and with lights and wreaths placed strategically throughout the rest of the house. Three large sofas in front of the fireplace served to create one of the favorite gathering places for guests engaged in conversation. By the time the party was in full swing, guests were mingling within elbow-room-only space. The house is large, but the popularity of the event brings guests from all over and it’s easy for someone to find himself or herself caught within a gridlock of animated celebrants. In this case, that is not a bad thing; rather, it is a chance to meet new people, engage with old friends and generally enjoy a beautiful holiday experience.

‘Feed the eyes first’ If you are a guest or planning your own party this New Year’s Eve, here is another fabulous appetizer that you can add to the table: “Cherry Tomatoes with Pesto”. This is the kind of dish that truly follows the rule: “Always feed the eyes first”. This terrific nibble will make your guest talk for months!! Ergonomic tip: Whenever you are working in the kitchen and especially when you are throwing a party and spending a good amount of time cooking, I like to stand in the kitchen with one foot on the floor and the other one on a small stool - alternate feet. This helps decrease the pressure on the lower back. Also, maintain knees slightly bent to help keep the back straight. CHERRY TOMATOES WITH PESTO SAUCE Ingredients: • cherry tomatoes (round ones) • curly parsley Pesto: • 1 cup firmly packed basil leaves • 1 cup baby spinach • 3/4 cup of good quality extra-virgin olive oil • juice from 1 lemon • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated • 2 medium cloves garlic • 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts • salt and pepper

(Photo by Ceci Martinez)

Directions: Place the above ingredients into a blender or food processor. With the machine running, add the olive oil in a slow stream until mixture begins to blend until smooth. Assemble: Cut the top of the cherry tomatoes with a sharp knife, scoop out the seeds, and turn upside down to drain on a dish. With a teaspoon fill the tomatoes with the pesto. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter and garnish it with curly parsley.

Prices rise but market doesn’t Commentary by Jim Litten

As a result of fewer homes on the market, average home prices in Central Indiana reached $176,863 in real estate November 2014, a 6.5 percent jump compared to November 2013. Available homes for sale in the nine-county region decreased 3.7 percent in November 2014 with 10,285 homes on the market, 395 fewer than in November 2013. In Boone County, 382 homes were listed for sale, a modest reduction of 2.6 percent compared to November 2013. Boone County is also among the areas reporting pricing gains in November 2014, with sales rising 12.1 percent to $281,555 from $251,206 from November 2013. • In Zionsville, the year-to-date average sale price in November 2014 climbed 11.9 percent to $388,240 from $346,808. • Of the pended home sales in Zionsville last month, seven were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 13 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; nine were priced $200,000 to

$299,999; four were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less. • Homes in Zionsville are selling at a stable rate. Last month, homes stayed on the market 79 days, which is one less day compared to November 2013. • Inventory across the region is tightening. In Zionsville, 169 homes were on the market last month compared to 163 homes in November of last year. We expect the shrinking inventory to continue driving up prices and contribute to this seller’s market that we’ve been experiencing in recent months. We are still positioned to finish the year on a healthy note although sales appear to be sluggish compared to last year – the fourth best year in real estate history. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company. Comment on this article by e-mailing to editorial@youarecurrent.com.

New IRA rollover ruling – The Internal Revenue Code says that if you receive a distribution from an IRA, you can’t make a tax-free (60-day) rollover into another IRA if you’ve already completed a tax-free rollover within the previous one-year (12-month) period. The long-standing position of the IRS was that this rule applied separately to each IRA someone owns. Earlier this year, however, the Tax Court, in the case of Bobrow v. Commissioner, held that, regardless of how many IRAs he or she maintains, a taxpayer may make only one nontaxable 60-day rollover within each 12-month period.

Tax changes you need to know for 2015 • The limitation for itemized deductions to be claimed on tax year 2015 returns of individuals begins with incomes of $258,250 or more ($309,900 for married couples filing jointly). • For 2015, the allowed foreign earned income exclusion breaks the six-figure mark, rising to $100,800, up from $99,200 for 2014. • The annual dollar limit on employee contributions to employer-sponsored healthcare flexible spending arrangements rises to $2,550, up $50 dollars from the amount for 2014. • The annual exclusion for gifts is up to $14,000 for 2015.

the Affordable Care Act’S Tax impact According to the IRS, the ACA law requires you and each member of your family to: • Have qualifying health insurance, and show proof of a continuance of this insurance. If you are like the majority of middle-class workers, this will be your situation. • File for an insurance exemption. • Or, make a shared responsibility payment when you file your federal income tax return. If you get your insurance coverage through the federal health marketplace you may be eligible for a premium tax credit. This tax credit can help make purchasing health insurance coverage more affordable for people with moderate incomes. The open enrollment period to purchase health care insurance for 2015 runs until Feb. 15.

Citadel Hill in Amman, Jordan (Photo by Don Knebel)

Citadel Hill’s history parade Commentary by Don Knebel

Visiting a single hill in Amman, Jordan, provides an opportunity to see where many of the empires of the Middle East battled and travel left their marks. It also provides an opportunity to stand on the spot of a key scene in the Bible’s most famous story of elicit love. Citadel Hill, the highest of Amman’s seven hills, includes evidence of human occupation since 7,000 B.C., making it one of the world’s longest continuously inhabited sites. At the time of Israel’s King David, a hilltop citadel defended an Ammonite city called Rabbath-Ammon. According to the Bible, Uriah the Hittite was among the Israelite troops besieging the fortress when David, remaining behind in Jerusalem, seduced Uriah’s wife, the beautiful Bathsheba. David then ordered Uriah to the front lines where, as David had hoped, an archer perched on the citadel wall killed Uriah with an arrow. David took Bathsheba as his wife and, after belatedly joining the battle, captured Rabbath-Ammon to join the previouslycaptured Kingdom of Moab on the eastern edge of his United Monarchy. After the United Monarchy collapsed upon the death of Solomon, David’s son with Bathsheba,

Rabbath-Ammon fell under control of a parade of empires, starting with Assyria, Babylon and then Persia. The Greeks captured RabbathAmmon from the Persians in the third century B.C., renamed it Philadelphia and lost it to the Nabateans. On behalf of Rome, Herod the Great captured Philadelphia from the Nabateans in 30 B.C. and made it one of the cities of the Decapolis. The Romans later built a large temple to Hercules atop Citadel Hill. After Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire, Philadelphia became the seat of a bishop and residents destroyed the temple and used its columns in their basilica. When Muslims conquered the city, they renamed it Amman and built a still-standing palace over another church, with a mosque nearby. Citadel Hill contains two millennia worth of temples, churches and mosques. The Jordan Archaeological Museum on the hill displays a reproduction of a stele chronicling how King Mesha recaptured Moab after the fall of the United Monarchy. There is a lot of history on Citadel Hill. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville.com.

HROUGH THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE of music and dance, Shen Yun weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales, taking you on a journey through 5,000 years of Chinese culture. Its stunning beauty and tremendous energy leave audiences uplifted and inspired.

BEFORE THE DAWN OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION, a divinely inspired culture blossomed in the East. Believed to be bestowed from the heavens, it valued virtue and enlightenment.
