Taxpayer flexibility – Legislation authored by State Sens. Pat Miller (R-Indianapolis) and Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville) to provide Hoosiers with greater flexibility when paying property taxes passed the Senate on Feb. 14 by a 48-0 vote. Senate Bill 275 makes it possible for Indiana homeowners to pay their property taxes in monthly installments rather than as a lump sum, if they choose to do so.

New gene identified – A study combining genetic data with brain imaging, designed to identify genes associated with the amyloid plaque deposits found in Alzheimer’s disease patients, has not only identified the APOE gene – long associated with development of Alzheimer’s – but has uncovered an association with a second gene, called BCHE. A national research team, led by scientists at the Indiana University School of Medicine, reported the results of the study, which is believed to be the first genome-wide association study of plaque deposits using a specialized PET scan tracer that binds to amyloid.

Decorating – One of the hottest trends in the home furnishing industry is intensely colored leather. Columnist Vicky Earley says it is striking to enter a room that is anchored with an emerald green leather ottoman or a teal leather chair, and the pieces provide a powerful intrigue to the space.

Although leather is easily maintained and has superior durability compared to many other upholstery materials, leather furniture care is still required to ensure its longevity.

New land gives schools a ‘campus’

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools is looking into expanding its property lines at two locations: 17901 River Rd. and the northeast quadrant of 196th Street and Hague Road.

The real estate at 17901 River Rd. is less than an acre and will extend the school’s property lines to the south. This area is where Noblesville Schools Central Office is Conner relocating. Supt. Dr. Libbie Conner said the small parcel was essentially a parking strip and would allow trucks to access the loading dock and dumpsters without infringing on the property of neighbors. Administration will move into the new area in July.

The second property will extend the land from Noblesville West Middle School south to 196th Street along Hague Road. Its area is approximately 37 acres.

“It gives us a campus,” Conner said.

Conner said a new elementary school would require about 20 acres and the remaining area could be used for other district needs, including a new transportation building.

“It’s the perfect location for elementary school No. 8 or other things we have in mind,” Conner

said. “It’s very favorable for the school district.”

Conner said costs were not yet known as this was the first step and by state statute, two appraisals must be done on the property and the district was not allowed to pay more than the average of the appraisals.

“We can make an offer and start negotiating,” she said.

Also at the Feb. 19 school board meeting: • Gary Huddleston was named interim principal at White River Elementary School beginning April 22 through the end of the 2012-2013 school year. Principal Christy Jordan is expecting her first child and will take maternity leave during that time.

Huddleston has 25 years of experience as an elementary school principal and eight years as a middle school principal. He comes from Wayne Township in Carmel.

• The school board is amending its social media policy. Currently, access to social media sites like Facebook have been blocked on the district’s network but the change will allow teachers and staff members to use social media sites for educational benefits.

The district can tell if students or staff are using the sites and usage is filtered, archived and monitored.

• Twenty acres of farmland was leased to Charles Jacobi and 75 acres was leased to Randy Woodward for $200 an acre.

COMMUNITY Cover Story

Leo and Alissa Zagaris before boarding his flight in June 2011.

Noblesville mom is fighting to get her abducted son back

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville’s Alissa Zagaris last saw her son, Leo, on Dec. 13, 2012. Since then, Leo has celebrated his 12th birthday. As Zagaris waits for Leo’s return fro Greece, thousands of miles of ocean and international law and politics are preventing their permanent reunion.

“I’ve spent 19 months fighting a battle that should have never been,” she said.

In June 2011, Zagaris drove Leo to Chicago and put him on a plane for Marathon, Greece, to visit his biological father, Nikolaos “Nikos” Zagaris. It was a long-distance visitation arrangement set forth by the couple’s divorce agreement in a Hamilton County court in 2009. It was an annual 10-week trip Leo had made four times previously. But today, Zagaris is still waiting for Leo’s return from his most recent trip, which started more than 19 months ago.

“I don’t know how I have survived. Half of my heart has been ripped out and is an ocean away. I’m fighting an uphill battle with half a heart but somehow I’m getting it done,” she said. “I feel like a machine – run, run, run. I don’t feel like a human anymore.”

Zagaris said the hardest part is how quiet her home is without Leo. “The neighborhood kids aren’t running in and out,” she said, adding at night she sometimes curls up in Leo’s bed. “I fight my fight every day from his room. It’s the only way I am connected to him… I’ve made it a point to leave everything as it is. I refused to move because this is his home. I’ve preserved everything we had so he can pick up where he left off. It’s made us keep my life on hold.”

Throughout the entire process, Zagaris has only talked with Leo a dozen times.

“When we do talk, he says the craziest things. Nikos tells him I don’t want to talk to him, and I don’t want him anymore. He tries to make my son hate me,” she said. “Leo sounds like a robot on the phone.”

Zagaris’ worst fears were quickly erased once she saw him on Dec. 13.

“He jumped in my arms,” she said. “I 10 | February 26, 2013

looked into his eyes and saw the truth.”

On Sept. 28, a Greek court ruled and ordered Leo be returned to the United States.

He was not returned because the Hague Convention gives Leo’s father the opportunity to appeal the decision. Foreign courts will not enforce the any orders until that appeal has been denied.

“Once Greece agreed Leo did not belong there, the Ministry of Justice immediately sought a $10,000 Euro fine and imprisonment. The civil courts said no, let’s give him a chance to do the right thing,” Zagaris said.

The two were reunited briefly on Dec. 13, 2012 in Marathon, Greece. It was the last time they have seen each other. (Submitted photos)

The second appeal hearing was held Dec. 13, 2012, but no ruling was made by the judge.

“Fifty people were ahead of us and all were denied and got their ruling that day,” she said.

While Zagaris had to return home without Leo, the American Embassy did help in arranging a visit between mother and son

and accompanied Zagaris to Nikos’ mother’s house, where he lives with Leo. “They are a huge support. They want Leo home as much as I do. They would not let me be alone in Athens,” she said. “I was crushed leaving without him. He doesn’t speak or read Greek – not even at a kindergarten level.”

Like so many other left-behind parents in international parental child abduction cases, Zagaris is dealing with both psychological and economic burdens. With huge costs of paying for courts, lawyers and translations, Zagaris said the average cost is $250,000 to bring children home (donations to assist can be made at www.fundraise.com/alissa-zagaris/zagarisinternational-child-abduction-return-fund).

“International child abduction is big business,” she said.

Zagaris has worked for five years as a chef at Lutz’s Steakhouse. She thought about leaving her job to dedicate her time to Leo’s return, but owner Nancy Lutz wouldn’t let her go.

“My life is day-to-day right now. I couldn’t commit to this,” she said. “I feel like the little sister. They have been like my therapist.

They’ve been my support.”

Lutz said she and the staff are amazed at how strong Zagaris has become through the process.

“We feel this is so unique because we are all family. We spend more time together than we do with our families,” Lutz said. “I can’t imagine what she’s going through. The important part is we are a diversion from such intenseness. Working gives her something else to think about.”

Staying upbeat sometimes is hard for the extended Steakhouse family.

“Watching how many challenges she’s faced is disheartening,” Lutz said. “There’s little for us to do, and it’s frustrating for us. We’ve tried to support her financially but much more emotionally.”

Working part time, Zagaris was told by Lutz there is only one reason for her not to pick up a shift: she’s traveling to Greece to bring Leo home.

“It’s the only excuse I would take,” Lutz said.

“I’m going back over, and I’m getting him.

I’ll be there when Nikos gets arrested,” Zagaris said. “If I’m there 24 hours, it will be too long.”

Zagaris has two plans for Leo once he lands back in America.

“I’m ripping up his passport and taking him to the nearest McDonalds,” she said. “He’s addicted to chicken nuggets and loves his French fries.”

Zagaris is just waiting for enforcement to retrieve Leo. “It’s really frustrating. We’ve got the charges, but we are waiting on Interpol to finish up the paperwork,” she said.

Zagaris’ understanding is that Greece police are looking to arrest and jail Nikos for two months. The United States will attempt to extradite him to face federal charges.

“If extradition doesn’t happen, it’s OK,” she said. “I just want to have my son.”

Attempts to reach the U.S. State Dept. and FBI for comment were unsuccessful.

VIEWS Opinion

The future USPS: All zipped up

Safe cities

It is our position that Carmel and Fishers should be commended for being recognized among the Top 100 Safest Cities in America. The ranking, compiled

by NeighborhoodScout, looks at the number of property and violent crimes per 1,000 people for cities with more than 25,000 residents.

NeighborhoodScout collects raw crime data from all 17,000 law enforcement agencies in America and then uses a relational database to more accurately determine the complete number and types of crimes that truly occur in each city or town.

The mayors of both cities give credit to their police departments and the dedicated officers and civilians that work hard each day to keep the communities safe. The efforts of Crime Watch neighborhoods, the Citizens Police Academy and the Teen Academy are also credited with helping keep crime rates low in Carmel. Zionsville is not to be overlooked, as the city scores a safety index rating of 94 out of 100.

A big thank you goes out to law enforcement officials and the citizens of these great communities for making them among the best places to live in America. Safe haven communities are becoming a rarity, and we are lucky to be living among the few.

Into the light

Commentary by Terry Anker

We are well served in our fine community to be the beneficiary of more than our fair share of community stewards. There are many who dedicate tireless hours to those victimized by predator or circumstance. Among them is Toby Stark, executive director of Chaucie’s Place – a Hamilton County facility dedicated to child advocacy focusing on the prevention of child abuse. Ever one to evangelize for the work of her organization, Ms. Stark convinced me to participate in a training program, Stewards of Children, aimed at educating “parents and any adults who work with children” about child sexual abuse prevention.

In spite of my trepidation that the eveninglong class would lead to difficult emotional moments as folks tell of the kind of suffering perpetrated upon them as kids (which it does), I was greeted by a group of 20 or so adults eager to learn and help this indescribably worthy cause.

The thoughtful coursework is divided into three sessions, each a video followed by workbooks and then discussion. The empirical statistics

are breathtaking. And, behind these numbers are people, families and youngsters, all seeking meaning from meaningless and brutal acts.

Lisa Ridder, leader of the session, maneuvered the delicate topics with both deftness and respect, instilling a sense of awareness and urgency without creating suspicion or panic. Most abusers are trusted by the children and their families. They are relatives, teachers, coaches, religious and youth leaders. Too often, the institutions protect their employees and not those tikes in their care.

Yet with a modicum of education, sensitivity and engagement, we can significantly reduce the incidence of these crimes and increase the fear in the perpetrator. Edmund Burke is attributed with saying, “Evil prevails when good men fail to act.” Could we add, “When we fail to bring evil into the light?”

There are some things the two of us just don’t get. Take, for instance, the U.S. Postal Service.

In the wake of last year’s $15.9 billion loss came the news of the USPS forgoing Saturday delivery (except for packages and P.O. boxes).

Smart move, and we applauded it recently in this space; it just makes good business sense.

Then came last week’s report that the USPS is getting into the … wait for it … apparel business next year in an effort to improve its take.

Men first, then a line for women. Yes, nothing says economic repair like the launch of a new “cutting-edge functional fashion” line. That’s what Steven Mills, the USPS’s licensing manager, termed it in a statement last week. Yes, the USPS has a license manager. We shuddered at it all. Repeatedly.

Wouldn’t successfully negotiating even the most minor union concessions make just a wee bit more sense? After all, it wouldn’t necessitate renting a showroom in the Garment District in New York City, which is what the USPS is going to do, and we’re not exactly talking bargainbasement commercial real estate there. The folks at Northface, Eddie Bauer and Nike probably laughed their coattails off with news of this development. So, on the heels of increasing postage – yet again – last month, we now not only have the opportunity to pay more for stamps, but also soon to buy clothing that is said to accommodate an iPod. Huh. Isaac Crawford, CEO of Wahconah Group, Inc., which is going to manufacture the goods, told ABC News that we all should expect an “image-conscious, firstclass, high-end line.” Wow. Maybe it’s time for a new USPS motto: “Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds … and moving garments like never before.”

Dog mess causes an epiphany Commentary by Danielle Wilson A couple of things ran through my mind as I was frantically searching for paper towel to clean up dog vomit in my bedroom recently: Why didn’t we go to Costco on Sunday to restock? and Is it too early for a Coors Light? Our puppy had already kept me awake half of the night with diarrhea, and my husband, Doo, was away on business, no doubt sleeping deeply in a comfortable four-poster. A breakfast beer seemed like a good option.

Later, as I fought the urge to heave myself (it’s the smell that always gets me) and imagined various methods of torturing Doo once he returned, another thought occurred to me: Maybe this was God’s way of punishing me for not appreciating Doo. I have been kind of naggy lately, and with all the stress of work and kids and the dog, I haven’t gone out of my way to be nice to him. Basically, all I want to do when I get home each evening is eat chicken pot pie in silence, watch “Rattlesnake Nation,” and then go to sleep as soon as I can sneak away.

And I’ve definitely taken Doo for granted. Instead of thanking him for doing dishes or buying crickets for the lizards, I complain about the laundry not being started or that the cat is out of litter. Admittedly, I’ve been a tad selfish, unloving and inconsiderate.

I shouldn’t be taking all of my frustration

and anxiety out on Doo; after all, it’s really the dog that has turned me into a crazy lady. She’s significantly added to my already overflowing “to do” list by being one extra “person” who needs my love and attention. In reality, I should be thanking sweet baby Jesus that I have Doo in my life to take on the majority of her care (and to keep the liquor cabinet stocked).

So, yes, I was exhausted and had to sop up a hot mess in a skirt and heels, but cursing Doo with every salty sailor swear word I could think of was probably not the right approach. Luckily for my marriage, my epiphany helped me clamp down on the bitterness and channel my misery into something more productive, like a column about the misfortunes of a temporary single mother with a puking puppy.

One small victory, to be sure, but it’s a start.

I believe God’s a prankster, and I’m choosing to believe that this morning’s incident was His/Her way of calling attention to how much I need my husband in my life. Doo can certainly drive me batty, but without him, I’d no doubt be a Costco groupie with a booze problem. Peace out.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Pretrial Discovery Devices In all legal proceedings, the exchange of information is crucial to being able to analyze and evaluate the overall positions of each party and to establish the elements to be considered and ultimately, divided or apportioned by agreement or by the Court. This process is referred to, generally, as discovery. Formal discovery tools exists for the parties to gather information from opposing parties and third parties for this purpose.

Discovery is a pre-trial process that prepares a case for trial and equips the client and attorney with information necessary to present the case to the court and confirm the basis for your position in order to promote out-of-Court settlement. Discovery allows all parties to examine any information deemed relevant to the case. In divorce, for instance, discovery would normally involve the exchange of financial documents such as bank statements, pay stubs, mortgage applications, bonus reports, life insurance disclosures, property deeds – even letters, text messages, and voice mail recordings as well as children’s grades, attendance records and the like. Anything “reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence” is deemed discoverable.

In many cases, Attorneys can agree to exchange discovery informally. In doing so, clients can save fees and time associated with drafting formal discovery and litigating any discovery disputes, presuming all sides are cooperative and forthcoming with the necessary information. More typically, each side will serve formal discovery requests, requiring the opposing party to verify the accuracy and completeness of his/her answers under oath and the penalties of perjury. This provides a basic snapshot of the

information and position of that party as, the answers can be used if needed to impeach testimony at trial or as the basis of a needed remedy subsequent to the divorce should the party later learn that certain marital assets were not disclosed during the divorce proceeding.

A number of formal discovery tools exist and in family law cases; the most commonly utilized discovery devices include: interrogatories; requests for production of document; requests for admissions; and depositions.

• Interrogatories are a formal set of written questions propounded by one litigant and required to be answered by an adversary, in order to clarify matters of fact and help to determine in advance what facts will be presented at any trial in the case.

• Requests for Production of Documents is a legal request for documents, electronically stored information, or other tangible items.

• Requests for Admissions set of statements sent from one litigant to an adversary, for the purpose of having the adversary admit or deny the statements or allegations therein.

• Deposition is the out-of-court oral testimony of a witness that is reduced to writing for later use in court or for discovery purposes.

DOUGH Insurance

Telecommuters, are you covered?

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Abbey G. from Noblesville: My office allows me to work from home when I need to. Are there any insurance issues I need to worry about?

Answer from Jamie Ianigro: If you have an ongoing arrangement that allows you to work at home in any capacity, you will be considered a telecommuter. The special privilege of reduced commuting also brings some special insurance considerations in play.

Bringing your work home with you can have some unintended consequences. The main reason is because most homeowner’s policies severely restrict or exclude coverage for business property. This is further complicated by the fact that business property is usually pretty valuable.

Business property could include anything your employer provides for you to work at home including computers, printers, phone equipment, valuable paperwork, etc.

Liability issues can also arise when you’re working from home. A typical homeowner’s policy will completely exclude business related losses. A social guest slipping and falling is a simple, and common, claim that your homeowner’s policy will cover. Switch it around and make that guest a business guest and you can have liability issues for you and for your employer. Liability claims are never fun, but they’re a lot less fun when your homeowner’s policy excludes them.

Using your personal vehicle for job-related activities, like making deliveries or client calls, can also cause some issues. Most personal auto policies exclude job-related use. Driving to and from work would not fall under job-related use. Some examples of job-related use would be: picking up a client at the airport, running to the store to restock the office vending machine, driving to and from client appointments, etc.

Now that you have a better idea of what you should be worried about, you should take a minute to document what you do so your employer and your independent insurance agent can make sure you’re covered properly. Make note of the following: • What routine job duties do you perform in your home?

• Are any tasks hazardous?

• Who visits your home because of your job?

• Is a certain part of your home dedicated as a work area/office?

• What equipment is used in your job? Who owns each piece of equipment?

The answers to these questions will be a great start for you and your independent insurance agent to make sure you are adequately protected.

Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

DOUBLE TWIST Have you always wondered how to create a classic Audrey Hepburn-inspired hair twist? Follow these simple steps for this classy and sophisticated look with a modern flair.

1. Part your hair down the middle, leaving the crown area loose, and put about 5 or 6 bobby pins down each side of the part (this will serve as an anchor to your style).

2. Second, twist all of your hair on the right side in toward the part you created, forming a role. Secure this role with pins, making sure to place them all the way to your neck for ultimate security.

3. Fluff the hair left open on the crown of your head and sweep it back into a small bun, securing with hairspray.

4. Next, repeat the rolling process with the left side of your hair. Tuck the ends in and secure with pins.

5. Last, hiding the pins between the “seam” between the roles, blend both sides together, working upward. Finally, work a dab of shine serum, such as Salon 01’s Shine and Define, in the palms of your hands, and smooth over the entire style to eliminate frizz. Set the style with some hairspray.

For more simple do-it-yourself hairstyles, come in and consult with a talented Salon 01 stylist! Call 317-580-0101 to book your appointment today. Haircuts start at $27.

INSIDE & OUT Outdoors

Reap those fresh air benefits Commentary by Randy Sorrell Awareness continues to grow of the wellness benefits associated with an active outdoor lifestyle. Prompted by our self-medicating lifestyles (guilty), Americans are being reminded that relaxing on your patio, hiking in the park and working in your yard are necessary components for thriving personal health – physically, spiritually and mentally. Family too.

A recent study noted, “Spending time in natural settings improves brain function, restoring your ability to exercise directed attention and working memory.” Meaning, it allows our attention circuits to heal and hastens recovery from fatigue. Anyone fatigued?

Several Facebook friends celebrated what jazzes them about luxury outdoor living and entertaining on their patios: • Stephanie Smith Lewis, “I love grilling!!!”

• Judy Ford, “It’s so good to be thinking about spring and summer and the good times to come outdoors.”

• Amanda Arnsperger Black, “Creating an environment for “unmanufactured” memories for our kids and a tranquil respite for us once they’re in bed.”

• Eric Etchison, “I feel it’s a special place to catch up on life with family and friends.

When you step outside you seem to leave all behind. It provides a place where eye

contact and meaningful conversation is happening. I enjoy the spark and energy in my kids’ eyes as they bounce around the patio and discuss school and their life.

There is just something about being outdoors that today’s crazy life, schedules and technology can’t replace.”

There’s a reason your happiest, most grateful friends are those with cool patios, edgy fire features, stunning landscapes and mulch stained jeans. Sure, the healthy immune spikes from vitamin D, which also prevents cancer and curbs heart disease, helps. But the real “phones banned” value is gained from fresh air, physical exertion, relaxing, socializing and gathering.

Live a little. A lot!
