Flood didn’t drown spirits

Commentary by Tim Reinhart

The morning began like so many others: I hit the snooze button a couple of times, got dressed, let the dog out, helped get the kids ready for school and then I was off to a breakfast volunteerism meeting with a few Zionsville Lions Club members to discuss upcoming projects. What was different about this morning was that the local news was reporting on water roaring through Lions Park like it was part of the mighty Mississippi River. I was inducted as president of the Zionsville Lions Club just the week before and began to wonder what I signed myself up for. Suddenly, the worst flooding since the 1950s was going to severely impact my club and the cherished treasure of our community, Lions Park.

What happened next was amazing and a blessing.

Over the course of that weekend, hundreds of volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help us clean out the mud from our restrooms and clubhouse, retrieve wooden picnic tables from downstream Creekside Nature Park that were lodged in trees, clean debris off the walking paths and out of the baseball fence rows, move the heavy bleachers that were displaced from the raging waters and so much more.

The many Zionsville Lions Club members who helped clean the park were thrilled to have the extra hands of help from the members and families of the Zionsville Alpha Leo Club, the Zionsville Little League, the Zionsville United Methodist Church Youth Group, Boy Scout Pack 358 and the Brownsburg and Lafayette Lions Clubs.

Several local businesses and groups provided their services or equipment. I would like to recognize and say Thank You to: ERMCO, Control Tech, MAJAC Electric, Windhaven Farms (the Rheinheimer Family) Akard True Value Hardware, Napa Auto Parts Zionsville, How to help – Tax deductible donations to help repair the Lions Park can be made to Zionsville Lions Park, Attn. Restore the Park, P.O. Box 252, Zionsville, IN 46077. Also, from now through Friday, Inga’s Popcorn, 140 S. Main St., will donate a percentage of sales from its Chicago Blend popcorn to the park. Akards True Value Hardware in Boone Village will accept monetary donations and also will be selling Inga’s Popcorn.

Unfortunately, there were some significant losses from the flooding. There was extensive damage to the park’s electrical system, tractors and other equipment and supplies that the Lions and Little League use in the park to make our events happen.

At the moment, the cost estimates are several thousand dollars to repair or replace these items that are very much needed for our club.

Lions Park is owned and operated by the volunteers who work tirelessly to fundraise to maintain the park. Last year, with the cancellation of our second-largest fundraiser, Fourth of July, as a result of the drought, and with loss from this flood, the Zionsville Lions are motivated to fundraise so that we can carry on the tradition for our community to enjoy for many years to come.

I am humbled by the generosity of our community and I look forward to seeing you in Lions Park again soon!

Church inspiration from a child Commentary by Ward Degler

The little boy sitting in front of me in church last week was an inspiration. He entered the pew, knelt down and folded his hands in prayer.

Then he sat quietly through the serview vice. He was probably 6-years-old.

I did that, too, when I was 6. But not because of any pious motivation. My uncle, who took me to church, promised me candy if I would sit quietly and behave myself. Candy? How could I refuse?

After the service was finished, one of my uncle’s friends complimented me for being “such a perfect little gentleman.” Candy and compliments? Heady wine indeed. I could hardly wait for next Sunday.

In high school, I went to whatever church the girl I was dating at the time attended. I was a perfect gentleman then, too, especially if I thought it would buy me some brownie points with the girl – or with her parents, who were usually sitting in the same pew.

During my military service attendance at religious ceremonies was mandatory. I was a perfect gentleman then, too, for obvious reasons.

At sea, the service was held on the deck at the back of the ship. It got pretty interesting when the seas were a little high and the ship rolled a lot. It’s hard to be a gentleman when the chaplain is skidding across the deck with his hands held upward in prayer.

In the Philippines, we held church services in the officers’ club right next to the bar where the bartender was busy setting up for the day’s revelry. It was hard to be a gentleman then too.

I still sit quietly in church today. But now I try to remember the reason I’m there. I recently was reminded of that by a 6-year-old boy.

What happened: New Stonegate principal announced What it means: Zionsville Community Schools school board Board of Trustees named Connie Largent as the new principal at Stonegate Elementary.

What’s next: As previously announced, current Stonegate principal, Kris Landis, will become the principal of Boone Meadow Elementary beginning the 2013-14 school year when Largent begins her role at Stonegate. A drive in front of Stonegate Elementary will be renamed “Landis Lane” in honor of Kris Landis.

What happened: Authorization to engage an expert and solicit security bids What it means: Supt. Dr. Scott Robison shared the status of bids to engage an expert for a security system. He proposed Skillman, Inc. to act as consultant at a cost not-to-exceed $15,000.

What’s next: Motion passed 5-0

What happened: Authorization of disannexation petition What it means: Boone Meadow Elementary School and 33 acres held by ZCS in Anson would be disannexed from Whitestown and become part of the rural zone for the Town of Zionsville. This provides single fire jurisdiction for all of ZCS with drills and safety protocols consistent across all schools.

What’s next: Petition approved 5-0

What happened: Union Elementary designated as “urban” zone What it means: Union Elementary is in a “rural” zone and is provided police coverage by the county sheriff. By becoming an “urban” zone, it will be covered

by ZPD, therefore providing police protection continuity across all schools.

What’s next: Motion passed 5-0

What happened: Instructional staffing report for 2013-2014 What it means: Referendum funding is used exclusively for instructional staff and allowed the board to recall 26 teachers at this time last year. At demographic projections, recommended staffing for 2013-14 will be an increase of 7.09 full time equivalent, primarily because of overall student growth (approximately 178 students). Funding for this staff will be provided by increased special education funding, cost differential from retirees versus new hires and the impact of student growth on the school funding formula.

What’s next: Move for approval of pre-August staffing for 2013-14 not-to-exceed 7.5 FTE. Motion passed 5-0.

Because of the length of the meeting, the school board summary will continue in next week’s paper.

At after prom, students enjoyed casino games, raffle drawings, photo booths and bounce houses in a drug- and alcohol-free environment. (Submitted photos) PROM – On April 20, Zionsville Community High School students began a journey “Around the World” as they walked through the doors of their prom held at Crowne Plaza Union Station in downtown Indianapolis. Those in attendance enjoyed three hours of music, dancing, appetizers and photos, all centered around the international theme.

After Prom festivities were held at ZCHS with a “Twist of Time” theme featuring decorations from the Roaring 20s through the 2000s.This year the committee raised just more than $15,000 in business and parent donations, as well as community grants to support the event. Every dollar raised went to entertainment, food, door prizes and scholarships for the 787 students in attendance.

Seniors Patrick Murphy and Michelle Blackburn were voted prom king and queen.

Business has been popping at Inga’s Popcorn since the doors opened a week ago. While the storefront shop may be new, ZiNow Open onsville residents have enjoyed the tasty treats since 2011.

“I started at the farmers market here in Zionsville,” owner Inga Smith said. “Ken Julian, the previous owner of Eagle Creek Coffee Co., would let me come in and use his kitchen to make it there and only charged me a trade out.”

Smith has sold her popcorn in Bloomington for more than a year – with such clients as Oliver Winery, West Baden and Indiana University. But, with an 11-year-old daughter, she wanted to shorten her commute.

The new shop is at 140 S. Main St. in “the cutest little brick building owned by Brian Wright, the best landlord ever,” Smith said. “He has made my move to Zionsville a dream come true.”

The idea for whipping up popcorn confections for a living came to Smith after a trip to Chicago where she saw a line around the corner at a very popular popcorn shop.

“Being single, I wanted to find something to make money that would also allow me to be with my daughter while she was young,” Smith said.

Inga’s Popcorn offers six classic flavors year round, including classic caramel, caramel with pecans, cheddar cheese, white cheddar cheese, and Chicago popcorn – a delectable mix of clas-

sic carmel and cheddar cheese. While she talked about her new shop, Smith offered customers samples of Snicker doodle popcorn – a cinnamon caramel flavor.

Smith said she works really hard before she debuts a new flavor, having teachers at Eagle Creek Elementary school sample the product.

“They are very honest and tell you what they like or don’t like,” she said with a laugh. “They have really helped me come up with a lot of my flavors.”

Inga’s Popcorn is open from noon to 6 p.m.

Pinwheel garden to raise child abuse awareness

By Chris Bavender • news@currentzionsville.com Spinning in the breeze, glistening in the sun, the 87 blue pinwheels planted outside the American Legion in Zionsville PHILANTHROPY represent the 87,000 children born in Indiana in 2012. They also are the national symbol for child abuse prevention, which is observed during April.

“It’s very striking to see that many grouped together like that,” said Katee Franson, development director for The Villages, an organization that works to help children find safe homes. “There is just something about it when all those blue pinwheels are spinning around and glimmerFranson ing in the sunlight – they are a good reminder of childhood and how much fun and magical and changing it is.”

Franson was approached by her neighbor, 17-year-old JP Ray, who wanted to add to his Eagle Scout project.

“I’m collecting duffel bags for kids who are being abused so they have something to pack their stuff in when they leave instead of having to put their stuff in trash bags,” said Ray, a member of Troop 358. “I learned about the pinwheels and then approached the Legion.”

Ray chose the Legion for the pinwheel garden because of its proximity to two schools.

JP Ray a junior at ZCHS, sit amidst his Eagle Scout project. (Submitted photo)

“Most people pass that way at least once a day,” he said.

Franson was impressed Ray would undertake the project.

“It’s wonderful because here is a young person helping to protect other young people – it just speaks to the whole idea of kids giving back to help other kids,” she said. “He knows not every child has the same good family situation he has, and I was thrilled he wanted to work with us.”

Ray and his family planted the pinwheels the Saturday before Easter. Reaction has been positive.

“My eagle project advisor thought it was really cool because I am not only collecting the bags, but then I did the garden and will also help out

at a 5k run,” Ray said. “It’s unique because most projects involve building a structure.”

For Ray, the project has been an important lesson.

“I know what it’s like to have to make a fresh start – not because I was abused – but my family moved her from Michigan my eighth-grade year. I had to leave my friends and everything I knew,” he said. “When we moved, it was a few weeks after school had started, and I had to make all new friends. So, I can relate because those kids can’t take anything really and have to start all over.”

You can help Ray with his Eagle Scout project by donating new or gently used duffel bags at the Legion. Or, you can contact him at jprayeagleproject@gmail.com.

Emcee Beth Vaughan leads the auction. (Submitted photo) Assistance League raises $94k – On April 13, the Assistance League of Indianapolis held a fundraising gala at the Ritz Charles. Guests were treated to an Italian-themed evening of bidding on items at the silent auction, dining and a presentation by emcee Beth Vaughan, morning anchor from RTV6 Good Morning Indiana. AAA Hoosier Motor Club was recognized by president Marcia Hoffbauer as a long standing in-kind and financial supporter of Assistance League of Indianapolis. Guests also entered into some friendly competition during a live auction while bidding on items including an apartment in the South of France, Colts suite tickets and dinner for eight by Chef Tony Hanslits. All of this generosity translated into raising about $94,000 to provide services for the socially and economically underserved in central Indiana.

Heritage Trail Park Construction Site. Groundbreaking will be Saturday at 2 p.m. (Photo by Heather Clark)

Paving the paths of tomorrow’s communities

By Janelle Morrison • news@currentzionsville.com A new park is coming to town and will extend the popular Zionsville Rail Trail.

With the recent Town Council approval, the construction of the Heritage Trail Park is under way with a completion date of summer 2013. The projected cost of construction is $628,000, which is partially funded with a $200,000 DNR Land and Water Conservation grant.

The park, at 4050 S. CR 875-E, will connect to the Zionsville Rail Trail, a trail that connects several parks and schools, and will include features such as a playground, picnic shelter and community garden plots. It will also serve as a trail head where people can park their cars and take off on the rail trail.

As part of the comprehensive parks plan, new trails are completed each year. The town’s primary focus is to connect the neighborhoods, schools and parks via pathways which include sidewalks, paved trails and separated bicycle lanes. The chairperson for the Town’s Pathway Committee, Tim Cassidy, spoke about the committee’s role in the planning of the pathways.

“Our committee’s job is to create a pathways plan,” Cassidy said. “We recommend it to the Town Council and if accepted, it is adopted into the town’s transportation plan.”

The town’s street, parks department and pathways committee have worked in unison to plan and develop pathways such as the the recent connection at Town Hall and Zionsville’s Rail Trail, the Willow Road pathway and the 106th Street pathway. The economic and residential impact that trails and parks have on communities has been documented during the last decade.

According to a 2006 study by the Outdoor Industry Foundation, the active outdoor recreation economy contributed $730 billion annually to the U.S. economy.

Local realtor Zoe Moore with RE/MAX Ability Plus in Zionsville described the impact on local properties.

“For many home buyers, purchasing a home that is easily accessible to walking/biking trails is a major selling point,” Moore said.

“While the trail may not directly increase the value of the home, it can definitely have an indirect affect since those homes often sell

more quickly.”

In addition to the construction of the new park, Cassidy announced that the town recently applied for a designation as a “Bicycle Friendly Community” by the League of American Bicyclists.

This will help Zionsville host bicycle-related events and increase traffic into the town.

“The town must meet the criteria established by the LAB,” Cassidy said. “We have met several of the criteria and hope to be a designated community in the near future.”

Cassidy also is the owner of Nebo Ridge Bicycles on Michigan Road near Zionsville. He and his staff support the Team Nebo Ridge, a group of bicyclists that gather at his store every Thursday evening and ride distances of 17 to 36 miles.

“Team Nebo Ridge is the biggest club in the state and one of

the largest in the country,” Cassidy said. “The club meets at our store and averages between 200 and 270 riders every Thursday.”

May is National Bike Month and Cassidy is planning to host an event in Zionsville to promote the community as a pathways and bicycle friendly community that works together, at all levels, on connecting the community through safe and enjoyable pathways.

The importance of these pathways, not only within Zionsville but also connecting to surrounding communities, is part of a larger plan. A tri -county project currently underway is the Indiana Farm Heritage Trail, a state designated, 50-mile rail trail that will someday connect with the Zionsville Rail Trail. It will run through Boone, Clinton and Tippecanoe counties with start/end points in Lafayette to the south side of Zionsville. The town has completed the separated bicycle lane along 106th street to U.S. 421 that will eventually pass through Carmel and connect to the Monon Trail.

“There are significant benefits to having a linear trail, similar to the Monon Trail in Carmel. They connect communities and give individuals a safe place to cycle, run, and exercise.” Phil Howard, president of the Zionsville Park and Recreation Board, said. “They have proven to be an economic windfall for the communities that embrace them.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP Suddenly, the skies are not too friendly

Stop child abuse It is our position that immediate action should be taken if a child is suspected of being abused or neglected. Today ends National Child Abuse Prevention Month, though the community should remain under constant vigil.

In just a year, 40 Hoosier children died from abuse and neglect, according to a recent report by the state Dept. of Child Services.

The report indicated that unemployment, low income, substance abuse and domestic violence are factors in many child-abuse deaths. The report also found a pattern of child deaths at the hands of parents’ intimate partners, which is a trend that has continued year to year. DCS says it is asking parents to think carefully about with whom they leave their children.

“When you have a child, and particularly a small child, left in the care of someone with no emotional bond with the child, with low to no parenting skills, and managing multiple stressors, tragedy can happen in an instant,” said John Ryan, DCS chief of staff.

The department is asking that everyone do their part to help protect kids. Pay attention and reach out if you need help or know someone who might.

To report abuse, call the Indiana state hotline at 800-800-5556. Parents, if you need help, call 1-800-CHILDREN.

A matter of perspective Commentary by Terry Anker In conversation today with a local businessman who is preparing to celebrate his 47th wedding anniversary, our attention turned to his advice in maintaining long-term relationships.

As he smiled, he said it was by making the right choice at the beginning. In his firmly Hoosier selfdeprecating way, he went on to credit much of the success of their longevity to his bride. “What a good guy,” I thought. But as my sympathetic interrogatory continued, his detailed answers pointed to something else. Certainly, he had entered a relationship with someone who is committed to relationships. Such a move is always a good thing. But more, he carried into the relationship a strong understanding of the importance of perspective in human interaction.

Even as we peer down from our vantage point, it is easy to forget that there are countless other outlooks from which to gaze. Imagine the scores of interpersonal interactions that take place every day – at the office, at the coffee

counter, with our families. During the course of the many petty irritations and follies that seem to fill our daily routines, it is striking to consider that there are innumerable other lives filled each with its own peccadilloes and interests.

How do people perceive us? Do they even notice that we exist? Is our imagined slight an entirely unintended consequence? Or, are the nefarious perpetrating their own agendas against us?

Can we find comfort in the knowledge that no one can fully understand our point-of-view or invite us into theirs? Or, is this solitary personal isolation frightening? Maybe it’s a matter of perspective. Regardless, learning to get out of our own heads and imagine the view from across the table can only make us better for it.

- Mark Twain

There has been a slew of reports in national media – print, electronic and social – in recent days about the politicization of budget cuts coming out of Washington. One in particular caught our attention, and that dealt with flight delays (departures and arrivals, naturally) as a result of the furloughing of air traffic controllers.

It should be noted that while travelers were cooling their heels - and presumably trying to stifle their rising tempers on long layovers in overcrowded departure lounges - at many major airports, the U.S. Dept. of Transportation announced a $474-million grant program that promises to “make communities more livable and sustainable.”

That’s. Just. Dandy.

We can cut highly trained and supervised staff, whose responsibility it is to keep the friendly skies all the more friendly, and foist upon the remaining personnel and supervisors an increased burden of undertaking even a larger part of one of the most stressful jobs known to man. But, hey, when there’s a chance to dump hundreds of millions of dollars into “sustainability,” well, that seems to be a no-brainer - for the brainless in Washington.

It seriously continues to amaze us that not too many have vigorously spoken out about the furloughs. Think of it this way: Would you want yourself or your loved one strapped into a jetliner traveling at 400-plus miles per hour under the “watchful” eyes of an overstressed, exhausted ATC employee? We know the answer, but we had to ask. To us, it’s really frightening. Until the staffing levels have been brought back to realistic levels – sorry, airlines – we’re not going to travel by air; it’s all road trips until then.

By the way, did anyone on Capitol Hill or in the White House administration even suggest cutting President Barack Obama’s golf fees from the budget? Didn’t think so.

Appreciated cover story

Editor, I appreciated your article recently (“Changing Streetscapes” from April 9). We came from a community where the Reader’s view square of our Town was dominated by a dime store. When big box stores drove the local dime store out, the previous owners left their large boarded up store front empty for decades to prove a point to the community. It took 20 years for the council and chamber to finally remedy the situation, by condemning it, upgrading the square park and fountain and revitalizing the downtown with vibrant street art and Friday festivals for kids/mom’s every week, with the support of Lions/Optimist/Womens Auxilliary/Jaycees etc... the PBnJ Fridays really bring purpose to the shops and village of Highland. Ill. I see a very similar feel in Zionsville. As a bed-

room community to Indy, it too has all the workings of a village and intimate feel of philanthropic activity. Kudos to chamber and town council for invoking this town feel, so close to the ‘city.’

I do have an observation, and hoped you might be able to voice it to others. Bub’s is a great addition to village, but its location will be very disruptive to the N/S corridor of Zionsville Road. Has there been any plans to move the egress of the parking lot away from the 106th Street turn lane for visitors approaching from 106th Street or South Zionsville? Also, what options were there to make the Bub’s location parking and promoting the business to be located within the “brick street” address?

Seems to be a problem with zoning and maintaining the focus of the village. If town leaders don’t curb and direct development, it could really destroy the features that make the Brick Street so appealing.

‘Please return my money’

Editor, I was at the Carmel/Westfield Marsh store on Sunday, and I requested $50 back on my debit card. It had been a long day, and I forgot to take the money. I called Marsh about 10 minutes later and spoke to a very accommodating manager.

He watched the video and a person who came in after me took the money, knowing that it belonged to someone.

I have called the police and, with the help of

the picture, this person will be caught. To prevent this person from being embarrassed and getting into trouble, I am hoping that the money will be left at the customer service counter in an envelope with my name on it. No questions asked, and I will truly appreciate the honesty.

I will chalk this up to someone who was having a bad day and decided to make it better at the expense of someone else.

"Nobody, but nooooobody pays more!"

Commentary by Julie Osborne

The school board meeting is finished. It really is, I promise. For those of you who were there last Monday night for editor’s take the three-hour marathon meeting, you understand my joke. Usually, the meetings aren’t that long, but this one was jam-packed with discussions and decisions. It’s actually a miracle the meeting is not still in progress. In the first hour and a half, a new principal was announced, detailed information on school debt was presented, authorization for security bids was accepted, and the high school roof bid was approved. That was just the begining. There still were eight more agenda items to go. I think we should put world peace on the next agenda, and I bet they could knock it out in another three hours!

Seriously, the efficiency of these board members is amazing. Not only do they ask excellent questions that I’m sure are simmering on people’s minds, but they do their homework and obviously extensive research and reviews before the meetings.

Take the proposed new school calendar for 20132014 as an example. Supt. Dr. Scott Robison presented a detailed proposal with four options from a balanced to a traditional calendar. There were 3,265 responses to a survey including staff, parents and students. He explained the results and a vote was

Where’s Julie this week?

about to be taken when a question arose about vacation around fall break. The vote was then moved to the next meeting when more data could be included and this question answered. No stone would be left unturned or question left unanswered.

As a resident of Carmel, I can honestly say that if my kids were school-aged again, I would consider moving to Zionsville, just to be a part of the school system. Since I started covering the town last summer, I have been very impressed with the school programs, the facilities, but especially the staff.

Come to the next meeting to see for yourself how your tax dollars are in good hands and being used wisely and intentionally. I will be wandering there again and, hopefully, staying for less than three hours.

I hate it, but I have to

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Recently I’ve noticed a strange occurrence. My stomach will begin to hurt after I’ve been sitting for any length of time. At first, I humor thought it was too-tight jeans, but then I realized the pain would arrive with any number of pants or skirts that fastened at the waist. Conclusion: my clothes are shrinking!

I suppose there is another explanation for this disturbing phenomenon: I might possibly, perhaps, be gaining an ever-so-slight bit of weight; which would make sense because I basically stopped all forms of exercising after I survived the mini-marathon last May. True, I do attend weekly geriatric yoga and occasionally walk the dog around our basketball goal, but for my body type, the lack of aerobic activity is finally starting to show.

And what really ticks me off is that the pounds aren’t going where I need them most. My face and chest could actually stand to be a little plumper, while my thighs and behind are already plenty large. But nooooo, become a couch potato and the new fat immediately heads for his friends.

The only solution (besides giving up my nightly cherry pop tart and glass of milk, and that ain’t gonna happen) is to start an exercise program, but I’m seriously lacking the motivation. I already ran the marathon and took on P90X. And my clothes do still fit, albeit a little more snuggly.

Plus, I have to consider two significant physical defects: my crappy knees and reduced bladder control. No jumping jacks for this girl!

Swimming is a great option, but laps in a pool are so high maintenance. Drying and de-frizzing my ginger hair alone can take a full 30 minutes!

Who’s got the time for that? Speaking of time, a serious “lack thereof” is another one of my excuses. For me, working out has to occur in the morning, because once evening hits, my life revolves around kids and husband and wine. But I hate waking up early, especially to [gulp] exercise.

Regardless, I must think of something. I’ve always been in good shape and like knowing that when the Zombie Apocalypse comes, I’ll be able to run for the hills (or cornfields). Right now, I’d barely reach the nearest round about before collapsing in a pile of stretch marks and hyperventilation. I suppose I could start with some hard-core walking; maybe throw in some light dumbbells to tighten the ol’ triceps. It’s not glamorous, but if it’ll help me outrun a dead person and keep clothing from cutting off my circulation, I’m in. Power walking, here I come! Peace out.

Backyard checks required

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I have never aerated my lawn. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever written the word “aerated” before.

If I did, I am sure I misspelled it. humor I think I accidentally went from liquefy to aerate while making a strawberry shake in our blender. That’s the extent of my experience.

Despite many years as a homeowner, I first learned about lawn aeration the other day when my wife and I arrived home from a Sunday brunch and saw our neighbor, John, wrestling with what appeared to be a 200-horsepower lawn machine. The really strange part was that John was not aerating his own lawn, but rather Herb’s lawn– an apparent act of great selflessness, unless you saw he had simply lost control of the behemoth and was desperately trying to steer the machine back to his own front yard.

Then Marty, watching John from his living room window, came outside to request that he be given a chance to aerate. Herb also wanted in.

This scam was so ingenious that it made Tom Sawyer look like an amateur.

John tried to explain to me why it’s important to aerate a lawn, but most of the explanation required that I actually listen. He did say something about golf greens that got my attention.

And I kept hearing the word “plugs,” which made me mildly interested because I once had a hair

transplant.

I watched Herb try to aerate. Herb, who can only claim 5-foot-8-inches in his wife’s high heels, was being whipped into unspeakable contortions and had to push the emergency button after he aerated Marty’s newly paved driveway.

I’m opposed to deadly asphalt weapons, but John told me that the Second Amendment covers lethal lawn equipment, as well.

After observing my neighbors gleefully involved in raising their testosterone levels, I agreed to try aeration myself. I declined doing my own lawn, having arranged several years ago for nine moles to do the job for me. I took hold of the handles, pressed the bar and was quickly propelled into action.

I had never realized how exciting it would be to poke holes in a neighbor’s lawn. It was fun, but four seconds was long enough. John could see I was uncomfortable with an aerator in the neighborhood, but he put my mind at ease. “Aerators don’t poke holes in lawns. People poke holes in lawns,” he told me. That made in feel a little better. But I still think there should be backyard checks on people who want to own aerators.

Yet, there is a whole world of wonderful grill options for the other parts of the meal. Hope you will enjoy these unique recipes.

Grilled vegetable salad

serves 4-6 You may skewer the veggies or place directly on grill.

Ingredients: 1 cup gorgonzola cheese, 1 yellow and 1 red pepper - sides cut and halved, 6 quartered Yukon gold potatoes, 1 sweet potato in large cubes, 1 leek quartered lengthwise, 1 bunch asparagus trimmed, 1 yellow squash cubed Marinade/dressing: 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon fresh diced tarragon, 1 tablespoon diced sage, 1 tablespoons diced rosemary, Salt and pepper Directions: Marinate vegetables for about 15 minutes in half of the mixture. Shake off excess dressing and grill until slightly charred – about 15 minutes. Place in large bowl and toss with remaining dressing and gorgonzola cheese. Serve immediately.

Cooking tip: Close the lid on your grill when you are finished - it will make the clean up easier.

Also, place any peppers you have on the grill and allow them to stay there as the grill cools for 1 ½ to 2 hours. They will be perfectly roasted and ready for the next meal.

Is your life balanced?

Commentary by Coach Kim Rockey

Essentially, time management is one of the keys to getting what you want and what you need from life. Much can be atwellness tributed to how well – or how poorly – we manage our time.

The number one issue talked about in my office during my career as a college basketball coach was, “I don’t have enough time!” My players said this. My health and wellness students repeated the same message. And so did just about every student who found their way to my office. There was a variety of individuals, from those studying to be doctors and engineers to students who were simply trying to figure out this thing called life.

There’s no magic formula to time management and certainly tons of books and blogs and newsletters are written about it. The answer is the same and may surprise you. We all get the same amount of time every week. No discrimination here. One of the keys is simply how we use

the time we have and what decisions we make regarding the time allotment.

Three crucial components come to mind: 1) self-responsibility/discipline; 2) self-control; and 3) goal setting/motivation (internal and external).

These elements generally impact our thought processes as we contemplate the time management issue. Do I sit and watch TV for 45 minutes, or do I take the dog for a walk? Simple as that.

Yes, I’ve probably opened up a Pandora’s Box here relative to how to deal with the time management issue. However, the facts will always remain the same – 24 hours per day times seven days equals 168 hours in our week. Now we have to make a decision on how those hours are spent.

How much balance do you have in your life?

Still time for bathing-suit season Commentary by April Conard All the snow has melted and the sun is trying to show it’s lovely rays. But, all you can think is; “Why didn’t I start working out in January?” Don’t let the fear of the coming warm fitness seasons have you retreating into a moo moo just yet. Don’t give up before you even start, there is still time! I know how to help you see results soon.

I am referring to interval training. Interval training is an excellent way to burn more calories, build endurance quickly and add interest to your workouts. Interval training involves alternating high-intensity exercise with recovery periods.

There are a variety of ways to set up interval workouts. One option is timed periods of work followed by timed periods of rest. An example would be one minute of high-intensity work (such as a sprint), followed by two minutes of low-intensity exercise (walking) and alternating that several times for 15 to 30 minutes.

Another option is instead of using time for measurement, use objects. You might power walk or run to the stop sign and recover walk or jog to the mailbox.

Interval training can be done with just about

any exercise, not just running. If you are exercising on an Elliptical machine, raise the level of intensity for a short amount of time and then lower the intensity until you “recover” and repeat this process.

Your recovery time should only be a few minutes. You should be able to breathe easily, however; if it takes you 10 minutes to speak, dial back the intensity.

You are in charge of the intervals and how hard you push. This method of training is more effective at inducing fat loss than simply training at a moderate intensity level for the same duration. This is due to the metabolism boosting effects of high-intensity intervals. The idea is to work harder than usual in your “work” sets and to fully recover during the low intensity intervals.

Interval training is a great way to increase results and burn more calories. So, don’t throw in the beach towel just yet. Give interval training a try and not only be ready for summer but look forward to it!

Learn how to understand and handle pet emergencies

Commentary by Lauren Alexander

lasting more than two minutes and recurring repeatedly), cuts and gashes causing internal organs to be exposed or fall out, excessive bleeding (spurting blood, prolonged bleeding), snake bites, hyperthermia/hypothermia, poisoning, shock, open wounds with visible bone/severe tissue damage, burns and unconsciousness.

In order to recognize abnormal behavior, it is important to learn what is normal for your pet. Familiarize yourself with your pet’s habits – observe how your pet breathes, eats, drinks, walks, urinates and defecates. Becoming familiar with your pet’s everyday habits will make it easier to notice changes that could signal an underlying problem.

The best possible course of action you can take during situations such as these is to remain calm under pressure, and do not panic. Your pet will be more likely to relax if you can. Also, becoming certified in pet first aid and CPR is a great idea and can be a lifesaver in emergency situations. Classes are offered through the Red Cross, and information can be found on their website, www.redcross.org.

In honor of National Pet First Aid Awareness Month, here are a few tips for assisting your pet should an injury occur along with how to recognize an emergency situation versus what is normal for your pet.

There are several steps you can take to assist and make your pet more comfortable and safe en route to the emergency facility. In some cases, you may actually be able to save your pet’s life by acting quickly and administering first aid correctly.

When approaching a sick or injured animal (even your own), always move slowly and cautiously. Animals in these situations can lash out when in pain or frightened. A muzzle may be necessary to avoid biting, but muzzling an animal who is vomiting, coughing or having difficulty breathing can be very dangerous. In a situation where an animal is exhibiting these signs, you must weigh the risk of human injury against the risk to that of the animal.

While any injury to your pet is frightening, there are certain situations that are absolute emergencies and must be treated immediately. They include: trauma (car accident, gunshot wound, fall from significant height), seizures (especially first incidence or

People are nicer in person

Commentary by David Cain

I’m a terrible flyer and it seems to get worse every year, every flight. I clinch the seat in front of me and brace myself with the Advice seatbelt as tight as I can pull it. When the plane touches the ground, I feel a sweet release and my entire body uncoils. Every flight is the same. As soon as the wheels leave the ground, any calmness turns to clamminess.

I have a strategy for flying, really for all emotions, that often works. The underlying concept is you are emotional when you aren’t being rational, so you have to be more rational. Emotions don’t involve thinking; they are feelings. When you think, you can generally dismantle feelings.

When I get mad, I ask myself tough questions that make me think. When I’m sad, I pose hard questions to find the source. As I move from only feeling to thinking, I find greater calmness in my rational thoughts.

That’s my strategy for flying: get thinking and curb the emotions. I disrupt a three-seat radius Live tellers coming to your ATM soon – The Bank of America has dispatches rolled out Teller Assist machines that enable customers to video chat with tellers and receive exact change to the penny. – www. money.cnn.com.

until I find thoughtful conversation.

I met a fellow on a recent flight. He runs a website for a news group. We started talking about how some people comment on news articles with crushing force, being mean and taking shots. It’s not everyone of course, but there are a lot of people that do. Is it the anonymity that drives it or is there really a bunch of mean people out there that mask it when you meet them in person?

We settled on this; people are nicer to one another in person. There’s increased accountability and, after all, it’s harder to dislike people when you are face to face with them. It’s an easy thing to forget in business too, things go better when you meet with people face to face. I guess it’s all full circle as that’s what put me on the plane to begin with.

Teen summer program – The Entrepreneurship Advancement Center is launching a new summer program for high school students called the Teen ‘Trep challenge. Working with a team, teens will meet weekly to identify a problem and develop a business model for a product/service to solve the problem. The challenge will culminate with team presentations to determine the top Teen ‘Trep Challenge team. Prizes will be awarded to the winning team. “This program encourages teens to think with an entrepreneurial mindset and provides foundational knowledge to assess a business idea. We want students to approach their world with that kind of thinking whether they start their own business or work within an organization,” said Cathy Langlois, executive director of the EAC. The Challenge will start in May and students will meet weekly through July. Students can register now at http://wp.me/ pJmhM-Yr. There is no fee to participate and registrations are limited to the first 25 students.

For more information, contact EAC at 489-0854.

Kitchen remodel creates an open four-seasons space

Commentary by Larry Greene

ORIGINAL KITCHEN: Originally built in 1982, this home is located on the first lot sold on Geist Reservoir. The current owners are the original homeowners, and the husband is a retired local custom homebuilder. blueprint for WHY REMODEL? The original kitchen was improvement U-shaped and fit into a narrow space with a breakfast area. French doors led to a three-season porch overlooking the water. The homeowners felt it was time to remodel the space and to convert the porch into a four-season sunroom. “Floor plans have changed,” said the homeowner. “It used to be that there were more walls. Everything is more open now. Also, the original kitchen was nearing the end of its life, and we were tired of the oak cabinets. We also felt that we would get more use out of a sunroom than a porch.”

NEW SUNROOM SPACE WITH BUMP OUT: The goal of the design was to create an open floor plan for the kitchen area. The plans called for removing the porch and building a sunroom addition fully open to the remodeled kitchen. Visual access to the water was a priority as well. The sunroom was cantilevered off the original foundation walls, as its footprint was larger than the original porch.

All new framing was required, and large windows were installed. A wood beam spanned the new opening from the kitchen to the sunroom.

Before

After FINAL RESULT: As a former custom homebuilder, the homeowner had an eye for the details. “We wanted cherry cabinets and a more traditional style. We really like the granite we chose, as it blends with the cabinets yet it is light. With all of the windows being on one side of the room, dark countertops would have been too dark. The tile design over the range works well too. Our favorite part of the remodel is the sunroom. We use it all the time, and we are enjoying our view more.”

One of those days?

Help is just around the corner.
