Tough experience on Shark Tank strengthens local businesswoman

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As a self-proclaimed “huge fan” of the show Shark Tank, Ellie Brown knew what she and her sister could be up against: scalding Neighbors criticism on network television from some of the nation’s most successful entrepreneurs.

They also knew that a favorable response could provide the spark their young businesses needed, so they took the risk. And despite their idea being called a “howling dog from hell” by potentional investor Kevin O’Leary, they are glad they did.

“I’m very proud of what we did and the way we stood up to them,” said Brown, 40.

The Zionsville resident and her sister, Becca Nelson, who lives in Raleigh, N.C., run evREwares, which makes “sticky ties” and other high-quality, reusable stickers. Although several of the Shark Tank investors snubbed their idea, Dallas Maverick’s owner Mark Cuban offered to buy the entire company for $200,000. The episode ended with the sisters reluctantly deciding to sell their “baby.”

Shortly after the taping of the show in June 2014, the sisters decided that they couldn’t part with the company and cancelled the sale. Cuban, however, agreed to serve in an advisory role and quickly answers business questions from Brown and Nelson whenever they arise.

“I think they have an amazing opportunity,” Cuban said in an email. “I hope the visibility Shark Tank brought them will not only bring them sales but create relationships that can help them get even bigger.”

The sisters had to keep quiet about their appearance on the show until it aired Jan. 13, but in the next few days they saw sales jump 9,900 percent, Brown said. They hope to use the momentum from Shark Tank to continue marketing their products directly to consumers rather than major retailers, whom they believe may not know how to best market the unique products.

Despite walking away from the show without securing an investment, Brown believes the experience will pay off in other ways.

“I still think we have a viable business idea,” she said. “The fact that Mark Cuban saw something about it and decided that he wanted to buy it all out and contract us says a lot, so I’m glad we did it.”

‘We’re just normal people’ Brown, 40, grew up in Raleigh, N.C., where most of her family still resides. As a child, she remembers being convinced by Nelson, who is three and a half years older, to sell items at craft shows that the elder sibling had created.

“She was too shy, so that’s always the way it’s been,” Brown said. “She does the stuff, and I sell the stuff.”

In 2003 Brown moved to Zionsville, where she now lives with her husband and two sons, who attend Pleasant View Elementary. When she’s not working, she enjoys hiking with her family and attending Eagle Church in Whitestown.

Ellie Brown enjoys hiking with her husband, Jeff, and sons, Henry and Gus.

Brown, who will continue to work from home 40+ hours a week, said she doesn’t know what’s next for evREwares, but she’s eager to find out.

“I don’t know what the future holds,” she said. “I’m right now enjoying the traffic we’re getting and interest we’re having. I’m going to make the most out of it and continue onward and upward.”

More than anything, Brown hopes that her exposure on Shark Tank will inspire other entrepreneurs that may be hesitant to take the next step in making their dream come true.

“People can relate to us,” Brown said. “There are probably people sitting there on a good idea and maybe they see we were able to take it to the next level. That might be some sort of inspiration for them, because we’re just normal people.”

minutes with Andy Miller

By David Nance Meet Andy Miller, Zionsville resident.

How long have you lived in Zionsville?

“I’ve lived around here for 25 years.”

What do you like most about living here?

“I love the feel of downtown Main Street and its quietness.

I also like how some pockets of Zionsville make you feel like you’re out in the country. To me it’s a blessing to live in a place where you feel like you’re out in nature, but you’re still 10 to 15 minutes from a grocery store.”

What is a movie you really enjoy?

“I like ‘Chariots of Fire.’ That’s one of my favorites.”

Do you have a favorite book?

“The Bible, because it is one of the most powerful ways God communicates with us. When I read it, I receive guidance and instruction for my life. It’s like holding up a mirror that allows me to see the areas where I please God, and the areas where I fall short.”

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

“My answer would be the Appalachian trail. It’s a place that I really enjoy, and it’s really only a six or seven hour drive away. I’ve hiked hundreds of miles on the trail with my boys, with my brother and by myself. I love being out in the midst of nature, and the solitude and quiet that I find in the mountains and the beauty that’s all around.”

What To Expect: Parenting Coordination A recent, positive trend in Indiana family law cases, as well as several other states, has been the appointment of a parenting coordinator in high conflict situations. Typically a mental health professional or a lawyer, a parenting coordinator or “PC” is an individual appointed by order of court and charged with managing on-going issues between parents (and others) in cases with constant and substantial disputes involving child custody and parenting time issues. Either party may petition the Court to appoint a parenting coordinator or if the concur that their situation would benefit from the involvement of the PC, the parties can submit an agreement to appoint one, including selecting the PC. What is a PC’s role? The Order of the Court will have considerable detail as to the extent and limitations of the duties of the PC. Depending on the level appointed, the PC may have the ability to act as a communication facilitator, an ongoing mediator and even, essentially, an arbitrator. As a general rule, the PC cannot modify the court order. For example, the coordinator may recommend a different weekly parenting time schedule, however, does not have the authority to modify the amount of time each parent has with the child(ren). All recommendations of the PC require approval of the Court to go into effect and each party has the opportunity to contest these before the judge, if desired. As the goal is to help the parties effectively co-parent and address issues which may arise from time to time, the parenting coordinator typically meets with both parties regularly, receives day-to-day questions and complaints about any aspect of a party's conduct, gather information from outside sources (schools, doctors, counselors, etc.) and works with the parties, first looking for a consensus or at least a basic agreement. If this is not successful, the PC may choose to inform the parties of what the PC

believes is in the best interests of the children in the hopes of pushing the parties to an agreement. Last, the PC may submit their recommendations to the Court if no agreement is possible.

In Indiana, there are several levels of authority in Indiana for PCs. A Level III Parenting Coordinator is the most frequent choice, holding a high level of authority and may make binding recommendations to the parties on the issues presented for consideration. A binding recommendation may only later be set aside by a Court Order after one party formally objects to the recommendations by filing an objection with the Court. Further, parties should be mindful that the parenting coordinator can later testify in court about the non-compliance or other issues which may arise during the sessions.

How much will this cost? Parenting Coordinators are most often attorneys and charge parents for the time involved in addressing the issues presented. The typical Court order will have the parents sharing the costs such that they are both “invested” in the process. As part of their authority, however, the PC may have the ability to reapportion costs if one party’s lack of cooperation is clearly a primary issue and the source of a disproportionate amount of the costs.

New stoplight should soon be a go A new stoplight at the intersection of S. Main Street and 106th St. is expected to be fully operational by the first week of February. It is intended to help control traffic as more vehicles travel through the south side of town with the development of Creekside Corporate Park and other projects, according to Lance Lantz, Zionsville street and stormwater superintendent. “Drivers entering the area on 106th St. from the east during the morning and evening peak travel times will now experience much quicker travel times,” Lantz said. “The second benefit is the provision of a pedestrian signal.” (Photo by Brittany Fleetwood)

New classes added to old favorites

Learning to blend iPhone photos to make a unique image, creating a New Orleans’ style painting and learning SullivanMunce the basics of drawing are just a few of the new classes being offered at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center for the winter and spring session.

A one-day iPhonography workshop was introduced last year, but demand was so high that more classes were added, according to SullivanMunce executive director Cynthia Young. A two-day advanced workshop and a five session series are new this year. The series may be taken all together at a discount or individually.

Topics range from capturing motion to enhancing images with textures.

Many popular adult classes are returning, including Beginning and Intermediate Ceramics, Beginning Bridge and a variety of painting classes for beginners in acrylic, oil or watercolor.

Cindy Baker began to teach sewing classes at SullivanMunce after being the 4-H Club leader for sewing projects in Boone County.

A variety of art classes are available at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center this winter and spring.

“I was already teaching those techniques at 4-H workshops,” Baker said. “I was hearing comments from adults that were too old for 4-H but they wished they could learn how to sew.”

Class prices vary with a discount for members. Registration can be made through SullivanMunce.org or by visiting SullivanMunce at 225 West Hawthorne St.

What’s up with our love of ice?

Commentary by Ward Degler As I pulled the bag of ice from the grocery store freezer the other day, I got to thinking about America’s love affair Plain talk with ice. After all, every drink in this country that isn’t steaming is sloshed over the rocks, chilled in a cooler or spewed into a paper cone and doused with syrup.

One of the most familiar sounds in any house today is the clunk-clunk-clunk of ice dropping into a glass from the dispenser in the refrigerator door. It wasn’t always this easy.

Once we had ice cube trays. I wonder how many mechanical engineers have actually devoted their careers to extracting ice cubes from trays; creating everything from plastic trays you twisted to those with mechanical levers. None of them worked of course, and we wound up banging the trays against the sink and picking up ice cubes from the floor.

When I was a kid we held our ice cube trays under hot water, then scooped the ice cubes out of the sink.

Ours was the only house in the neighborhood that had a refrigerator. Everybody else had iceboxes. No one has those any more, and only folks of a certain age remember what they were.

When I was a kid I worked on a milk truck, running bottles of milk to the doorstep and bringing back the empties. We also delivered ice.

Ice customers hung placards in the window.

The numbers 25, 50, 75 and 100 were printed on the four corners, and the number that was upright told us how big an ice chunk they wanted.

Most folks needed 25 or 50 pound pieces.

Sometimes we lugged the ice into the house and quietly slipped it into the icebox. More often, however, the lady of the house had newspapers spread out on the kitchen table and the ice was carefully wrapped in a thick coating of newsprint before being deposited in the icebox. Wrapping made the ice last longer.

Back at the dairy, one of my jobs was chipping 300-pound blocks of ice into 25- and 50-pound pieces with an ice pick.

In another town we used to sneak into the ice house on hot summer days and chip pieces of ice from giant chunks stored in the sawdust.

Sometimes we climbed under the tarp of the horse-drawn ice wagon to steal a cool treat. In the winter, folks cut ice from the lake with saws.

While Americans have worked hard for their ice, the Europeans for some reason never bothered. Ice, they figure, takes up too much room in the glass.

New town leaders prepare for whatever 2015 may bring

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com It’s business as usual as 2015 gets underway for the new leaders of the Zionsville Town Council, even as they wait for a state ruling that could impact their future direccover story tion and roles.

But for Town Council President Steve Mundy and Vice President Susana Suarez, both appointed at the January council meeting, the new year brings a fresh opportunity to continue to focus on the economic health of Main Street, which is a top priority on the council’s agenda. Suarez said the Council is ready to actively partner with local businesses to ensure continued economic success.

“The biggest effort we can make is to support and enhance our businesses, to drive those opportunities in the marketing study and other initiatives we first made when we came into office to make Main Street viable,” she said. “Now we have to implement these strategies and ... see these things through by influencing the mix of businesses and parking to continue to have a vibrant and healthy downtown.”

Mundy and Suaraz expect the council to focus on the continued development of the southeast quadrant of Creekside Park (where Hatworld LLC and FedEx are already taking space), support-

Meet Susana Suarez

Town Council Vice President At Large ssuarez@zionsville-in.gov • Birthplace/Hometown: Born in Mexico City, and moved to Cleveland, Ohio. An Ohio State graduate, who then lived in New York City and Washington D.C working as a George W. Bush-appointed manager for FEMA. Suarez and her husband, Juan Francisco “Kiko”, moved to Zionsville in 2009 and have two children.

• Favorite local restaurants: The Friendly Tavern and Noah Grants • Favorite TV show: A self-proclaimed news junky, but locally watches the 10 o’clock Fox 59 news and The Kelly File on Fox. • Favorite Pastime: Cooking, and she claims she “makes best salsa in town.”

Mexican food is her favorite, and a guest of hers actually drank the salsa out of the bowl during a visit to her house.

ing the school district’s efforts in addressing the state school funding formula, and working through the downtown study and infrastructure marketing plan.

Mundy also said that the council will need to further assist the town’s staff as Zionsville grows.

“One of the keys for growth is to support the infrastructures and the services provided by our personnel,” Mundy said. “There will be growth challenges on how we operate. We need to increase the support to the current staff to support our growth through professional development.”

Two plans in place While some plans for 2015 appear to be set in stone, others will be determined by the state

court’s decision regarding the annexation of Perry Township, which would allow Zionsville to reach a state-authorized condition that makes the town eligible to elect a mayor. The town of Whitestown filed a lawsuit against Zionsville last year to prevent the reorganization.

A local Boone County judge upheld Whitestown’s claim of illegality, but since Zionsville has fervently pursued an appeal.

Former town council president Jeff Papa has been selected as Zionsville’s interim mayor and will officially step into the role if the court sides with Zionsville. A majority of voters in Zionsville and Perry Township supported the annexation in a November election.

court decides, Mundy and Suarez said the council is prepared to make sure town business runs seamlessly in the aftermath.

“In light of the situation, the public or town will not feel any changes if the court does not support the peoples’ will,” Suarez said. ‘We have two concurrent plans moving and standing by for a smooth transition regardless of the outcome.”

Still, the court’s decision will have an impact on how the town council is organized and conducts business.

“The first item is the resolution of whether or not we have an interim mayor, since this newlycreated position will take most of the primary role of running the town, and [town council] would do legislative issues,” Mundy said. “If the position is instituted it will make a difference in what role we will play in town government.”

No matter what happens, both Mundy and Suarez are committed to strengthening partnerships they’ve built with the schools, library, the public, the county’s commissioners and council, and even Whitestown.

“When it’s all said and done, I think we can – and want – to establish a better relationship with the town of Whitestown,” Mundy said. “Bickering towns side to side is not good for anyone.”

ZCS backs Fix-It campaign

Commentary by Shari Alexander Richey

During this year’s legislative session, our elected state representatives and senators will craft the state’s next two-year Schools budget and in doing so will consider changes to the school funding formula.

The members of the Zionsville Community Schools Board of Trustees support legislative changes to the school funding formula that will enable our district to maintain appropriate class sizes and programs while decreasing or eliminating the need for future operating referendum. Simply put, the current level of funding and structure of the school funding formula will not sustain the quality of public schools that our community desires.

We have joined a coalition of similarly lowfunded school districts to form the Fix-it Coalition with the goal of improving school funding for some of the fastest growing and highest-performing school districts in the state. We believe this goal is necessary and attainable without harming districts that have higher numbers of students facing challenges related to poverty.

Recent comments by Gov. Pence and legislative leaders expressing a desire to increase overall school funding are encouraging. Vibrant public schools with successful students are vital to the continued success and growth of every community across the state. It is our belief that the

inequity in the current school funding formula is detrimental to Zionsville and other similar communities throughout the state and needs to be addressed during this legislative session.

We are pleased to have the support of the Zionsville Town Council, Zionsville Chamber of Commerce and Zionsville Educators Association, all of whom have passed resolutions supporting the goal of increasing school funding through legislative action. .

Members of the community are invited to support the Fix-It Coalition by following the group’s website (www.indianaschoolfunding. org), Facebook page (IndianaFixIt) or Twitter (@ FixSchoolFunds). Community members interested in contacting legislators can join the coalition’s volunteer list via the website.

We are committed to the continued success of Zionsville Community Schools and our students. We are proud of our record of excellence and grateful for the community for their investment in our public schools. By advocating for legislative change in the school funding formula we seek to get Zionsville taxpayers and students a more equitable level of funding to continue this success.

F RO M T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Perhaps the best salient point ever In case you were wondering who most of us are dealing with as the leader of the free world, consider this passage from the Wall Street Journal last week: “In the 1944 film ‘Gaslight,’ a con artist manipulates his new wife psychologically to make her doubt her own sanity in a scheme to steal her inheritance.

That’s increasingly the way to understand President (Barack) Obama’s behavior toward Congress and especially the tax increase he floated in Tuesday’s State of the Union (Address). The only plausible rationale is that he thinks he can gain politically by driving Republicans nuts. Mr. Obama’s income-redistribution themes are familiar, though they are amusingly detached from the reality of the largest GOP majority in Congress since 1949.

••• Also, consider this: Obama in one corner, a potential two-thirds Senate majority opposed to his position on Iran in the other. This could be good (or bad) theatre. In his State of the Union Address last week, the president said he would veto sanctions on Iran, because they “will all but guarantee that diplomacy fails, alienating America from its allies, and ensuring that Iran starts up its nuclear program again.”

Twelve Democrats in the Senate previously co-sponsored legislation for sanctions. If that continues, the Senate would be so close to a majority that it would take one additional vote to seal it – if all 54 Republicans stand behind it. Keep in mind the president has vetoed only two bills in six years; neither was overridden.

••• Lest you believe Hillary Rodham Clinton doesn’t favor her connections in the banking world, she recently delivered a speech cohosted by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Yes, it’s the same bank that is being investigated by the United States for helping wealthy Americans stash money in the bank’s Caribbean accounts to avoid paying federal taxes. Some might call that unmitigated gall.

We’re among the “some.”

The gap of the gaps

Commentary by Terry Anker

The American founders knew it. Even the modern, liberal French know it. The distinction between a mob and a populist revolution is a narrow one. Contemporary French journalist and politician Jean-Francois Revel illustrates the point beautifully: “A human group transforms itself into a crowd when it suddenly responds to a suggestion rather than to reasoning, to an image rather than to an idea, to an affirmation rather than to proof, to the repetition of a phrase rather than to arguments, to prestige rather than to competence.”

Rich! Wealthy! Income disparity! Income divide!

If these words are meant to sting, does our leadership hope to foment classism? If so, is it warranted and rightly defined? Who are these “rich” people? President Barack Obama has chosen a combined annual household income of $250,000 to be the metric. He points to the very real gap from the median showing that those higher wage earners eclipse their fellow Americans by almost 6 times. Assuming that the math is cor-

rect, what is the context of this contrast?

A Gallup poll in 2013 of median incomes globally places the United States sixth highest at $43,585 with Burundi the lowest at $673. In other words, the median American family expects income 65 times of that in the comparison country. Moreover, this income number excludes the enormous infrastructure, safety-net, education and other advantages found in the U.S. The gap of the gaps is over 11 times.

Our own author, Mark Twain, said “Few things are more irritating than when someone who is wrong is also very effective in making his point.”

Even as our own misguided Robin Hoods attempt to equalize inequality, are we spending too much time looking at those whom we believe have more and not enough time caring for those whom we know have less?

– Mother Teresa

I’ve been struggling for topics of late but was holding on to the notion that dance competition season would soon be starting and I’d have a plethora of tacky, delicious stories to relay. But alas, either I’m a seasoned veteran with the super-hero ability to ignore the highpitch antics of several hundred overly-rouged, be-sequenced ‘tweenagers’ and their obnoxious, also-sometimes-sparkling mothers, or, this past weekend was tame when compared to last year’s nearly-traumatic introduction to competitive dance.

My youngest started dancing just two years ago. Having myself never been a dancer or anything that required extensive parental involvement and “judging” to determine the winner, I nearly stroked out at her first competition last January. The make-up, the false hair and the myriad of shoes and tights and bandeaus all came as quite a shock, and that was just the moms! You should have seen their daughters! Not to mention the way scores are calculated and awards are bestowed ... a judge doesn’t like your costume so she deducts points? What kind of nonsense is that?

And the unfamiliar terminology had my head spinning. Lyrical, contemporary, grand line, production, minis, juniors, adagios … a whole new vocabulary world big-banged into existence as soon as I set foot in that often-terrifying convention space.

I saw choreographers yelling at high schoolers, mothers violently applying lipstick to toddlers, and dads stumbling around aimlessly no doubt wondering what they’d done to be cast down into such a low level of female hell. I temporarily lost hearing in one ear after repeated screeches of “Nail it, Kayla!” and almost went blind from over-exposure to under-clothed (but well-endowed) tappers. And I wasted hours upon hours of quality weekend time that could have otherwise been spent binge-watching Downton Abbey, waiting for my daughter to perform her three-minute jazz number. When we finally made it home that Sunday, I was ready to pull her from the team and return to the frozen fields of youth soccer.

This year, at the same competition in the same hotel, with Maddie actually dancing twice the number of routines, I actually enjoyed myself. I knew to bring a good book, to retreat to my “quiet space” if I felt edgy, and to appreciate the weekend for what it was- a chance for my girl to do what she loves most.

I guess I’ve simply mellowed out. Was there dressing-room drama? Absolutely! Did I have a slight ringing in my ears after the third awards ceremony of the day? Indeed I did. But I came away surprisingly rested and of course, feeling extremely proud of my daughter.

Five lives intersect at Belfry’s latest show, ‘Bus Stop’

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. A nightclub chanteuse is being pursued and kidnapped Theater by a 21-year-old cowboy with romantic intents; the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance.

“It’s a little touch of what life used to be in 1955,” said Connie Murello-Todd, director of “Bus Stop.” “Some of the things they talk about still ring true and some things … life was so much simpler then.”

For its 50th season, The Belfry Theatre is reproducing shows from its history. “Bus Stop” was originally produced for the 19831984 season and directed by Jim Bray. This year’s show runs Jan. 30 through Feb. 15.

“This was the one that stood out for me,” Murello-Todd said.

“Marilyn Monroe starred in the movie and I just thought it was cute. I just enjoyed it when I read it.”

Staying true to its timeframe has caused the cast some issues with props.

“They didn’t know you had to use opposing thumbs to unlatch the suitcase. They’d never seen a rotary dial telephone and didn’t know how to use the coffee maker,” Murello-Todd said. “It’s been fun to bring them into the ’50s. The first time Rose (Franzen) couldn’t get into the refrigerator because it latched was a hoot.”

The cast includes a group of veteran actors like John Whitaker and Ryan Shelton and newcomers to the Belfry stage like Addison D. Ahrendts, Rose Franzen and James Maratea.

“It has been one of the easiest shows I’ve directed,” MurelloTodd said. “It’s a very professional group and we’ve been able to dive into character development, nuances and gestures which we normally don’t have time to do.”

Returning to the Belfry stage after a long hiatus is Jeff Maess, who last appeared in “Light up the Sky.” “That was about 30 years ago,” Maess said, adding he has acted

in five other shows at different theaters since that time. “I’ve been interested in coming back. I saw their schedule and was interested in this show and next one, ‘Noises Off.’” Maess said the script for “Bus Stop” is one reason he auditioned and enjoys the show.

“The thing that stands out for me is how well written it is,” he said. “I’ve been in different shows and learning lines, a well written show makes it that much easier.”

For his role as Virgil Blessing, Maess had to learn how to play the guitar.

“All the other guys in the case can play the guitar except for me,” he said. “They’ve been helpful.”

bus stop Where: Belfry Theatre, 10690 Greenfield Ave. Noblesville When: 8 p.m. Jan. 30 and 31 and Feb. 6, 7, 13 and 14; and 2 p.m. Feb. 8 and 15.

Cast: John Whitaker (Bo), Addison D. Ahrendts (Cherie), Jeff Maess (Virgil Blessing), Rose Franzen (Elma Duckworth), James Maratea (Carl), David Korff (Sheriff Will), Ryan Shelton (Gerald Lyman) and Jennifer Mauldin (Grace).

Running until Feb. 1, the 2015 Devour Downtown slogan is “restaurant weeks offering three course, value-priced menus.” While it may sound like a pitch to get you to dine out in the middle of winter (it is), Devour Downtown is a must for anyone in the Indy metro area.

In the “Best of Show” and “Tequila Cocktails” category, the winner is Barbie Gale, who tends the bar at Harry & Izzy’s.

Her chiquilla martini takes the cake for being the sweetest, tequila-filled dessert drink there is.

Chiquilla Martini • 2 oz. Tres Generaciones • 1 oz. Cointreau • .5 oz. Dark Cream de Cocoa Mix liquor. Garnish with an orange slice dusted with cocoa powder.

For the winner of the “Rum Cocktails” category, Kelley Morgan of Scotty’s Brewhouse with her “Squiffy & Wench” cocktail is a clear favorite.

Squiffy & Wench • 1.5 oz. Cruzan Dark • 3/4 oz. Ginger Syrup • 1/4 oz. Simple Syrup • Fresh Ginger • 1/2 Squeezed Lime Juice Combine Cruzan Dark, Ginger, Simple Syrup, Pureed Ginger and fresh lime juice. Shake and pour over ice. Serve in a martini glass with a sugar/lime half rim.

Q&A with Renny Harrison

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Despite their beatdown at the hands of the New England Patriots, fans of the Indianapolis Colts have a lot to be excited diversion about with their football team.

Nobody knows that better than Renny Harrison, owner of Fanfare Tickets, located in Carmel at 890 E. 116th St., Suite 110.

Harrison started his company six years after spending years as partner at Circle City Tickets.

He talked to Current about his expectations for his local ticket reseller.

How was this year’s Colts season for your company?

“It was better than I had expected. At first glance, you look at the schedule and we didn’t have one of those blockbuster games at home.

We didn’t play the Packers or the Steelers or the Broncos at home. And overall with the NFC teams we had played, I would have certainly loved to play the Cowboys here rather than away.”

What was the best Colts game this year?

“The Cincinnati regular season game. The Bengals were doing well at the time and it was just the right time.”

How have sales been for Indiana University basketball games?

“Surprisingly good. I think the team’s better than we thought. The sched-

ule after Christmas is pretty decent. We have hung in there against a tough schedule and now we have a lot of weekend games and some games that really fit into everyone’s schedules. I think there are only like three weeknight games and the rest are on the weekends, which is really good.”

Besides sporting events, what other events have been a big draw?

“Neil Diamond is touring again and while that might not be everyone’s favorite performer, it appeals to people with money. Maroon 5 is coming and that’s very good. Taylor Swift is coming and that’s very good. The shows that aren’t here every year are great for business. Unlike the bands that come every single year, where there isn’t really a sense of urgency to see them. There are some other events that are pretty interesting such as Monster Jam.” I expect a lot of parents might have been willing to shell out a little extra for Taylor Swift tickets to make their daughters happy.

“Oh yeah. Over Christmas, we saw a lot of holiday presents bought from us. Taylor Swift is nine months away, but sales were really good.”

Do you have a favorite venue for ticket resale?

“Banker’s Life Fieldhouse is always the best.

They seem to draw the big names like Maroon 5 or Taylor Swift.”

Nearly 1,500 homes pended in December, with all but three Central Indiana counties reporting increased sales compared to the same time period last year, according real estate to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company. Overall, December 2014 pended home sales rose to 1,497 over December 2013, an increase of 43 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks.

In Boone County, pended sales decreased while the sale price increased: • Last month, pended sales in Boone County dipped 5.4 percent to 53 homes compared to 56 homes in December 2013.

• Sale prices in Boone County continue to trend up. In December 2014, the average sale price rose to $281,444, which is an increase of 10.6 percent compared to De-

cember 2013.

• In Zionsville, 53 homes pended last month, which is 20 more homes than December 2013.

• Inventory in Zionsville has increased. Last month, 175 homes were available for sale – an increase of 21 homes compared to December 2013.

• Homes in Zionsville are selling at a stable pace. In December 2014, homes were available for sale for 77 days – three fewer days than the same time last year.

Overall across Central Indiana, listing inventory continues to fall while home sale prices inch up – positive indications that stabilization continues across our region. We expect this positive movement to continue into the first half of 2015.

What’s wrong with sugar? Part III Commentary by Dawn Parker In my last two articles, I discussed the downsides of eating refined sugar and artificial sweeteners, and now I’d like to presdiet ent some healthier alternatives.

These options all beat out sugar on either the glycemic index or nutritional front.

They should still be eaten as a small part of your diet. They are listed below in order of their glycemic index: • Honey, molasses and maple syrup – Although these still rank high in the glycemic index, they offer some beneficial minerals.

Raw, local honey offers numerous health benefits that I will cover in a future article.

• Coconut sugar – Lower on the glycemic index (about 35), coconut sugar is made from the evaporated sap of the coconut flower and tastes and looks like light brown sugar.

• Xylitol – A sugar alcohol, xylitol has the same sweetness as sugar but with 40 percent fewer calories and a glycemic index of around 12. It has a cooling, almost minty taste, so should not be the sole sweetener in a recipe or it will take on that minty qual-

ity. Xylitol has a number of health benefits ranging from reducing cavities to helping with candida.

• Erythritol – Another sugar alcohol, erythritol occurs naturally in certain fruits. It has a glycemic index of zero and zero calories. It has no effect on blood sugar or insulin levels and has about 70 percent of the sweetness of sugar.

• Stevia – An herb that is 300 times sweeter than sugar, stevia can be used to increase the sweetness of another sweetener or to sweeten coffee. Be sure to read labels when buying stevia. Many companies cut the stevia with something else so be sure you know what you are buying.

Keeping total sweetener consumption down will benefit your health greatly, but when opting to have a little sweetness in your life, these are some of the better options.

Is red wine really good for your heart? – According to a new study, wine may not impact your good-cholesterol levels, but it can improve bad-cholesterol levels. There’s also very little evidence that red is better than white. You don’t need to merely tolerate a glass of red for health reasons if you really prefer white.

Source: European Society of Cardiology Save time at the gym – Here’s how to save ten minutes every time you go to the gym. Stop cooling down. Cooldowns, gentle exercises such as stretching or walking that help transition your body to a resting state, have been advocated to prevent muscle soreness. A study found that exercisers who did a formal cooldown after a workout had the same amount of muscle pain, or more, the next day as people who did not do a cooldown. The one benefit of a cooldown is that it prevents blood from pooling in the lower body and possibly causing dizziness, but to get that benefit, all that is needed is a few minutes of walking.

Smell a grapefruit – Breathing in certain aromas can help reduce stress.

In a study at James Cancer Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, researchers tested the effect of pleasant-smelling essential oils by diffusing them in the central nurses station. Oncology nurses, who frequently suffer from workrelated stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout, reported significant improvements in tension, worry, and demands over the course of the study.

One of the essential oils tested was grapefruit, which is refreshing and revitalizing, and helped boost the body’s feelings of energy and happiness.

Question: “Hey Jordan. My 10-year-old daughter, my wife and I are in quite a conundrum. When grammar guy listing nouns in a sentence, is a comma used before the conjunction ‘and’ or ‘or?’ My daughter thinks it is, my wife thinks it is not and I think it’s acceptable with or without a comma. So, who is correct, my daughter, my wife or yours truly?” – (James Swick) Answer: The serial, or Oxford, comma is a hotly debated subject in the grammar world. Let’s talk briefly about who uses it, and why.

If you’re a serial comma fan, you’re in good company. The bulk of style guides call for using the serial comma (APA, MLA and “The Chicago Manual of Style,” to name a few). The serial comma is also the standard used in the U.S. Government Printing Office, so it gets Uncle Sam’s seal of approval as well.

People who don’t use it: The Associated Press, the Canadian Press and the Brits (although it is mandated by the Oxford University Press, where it gets its name).

The major point upon which arguments for and against the Oxford Comma stand

is the creation or resolution of ambiguity.

Consider the following sentences: 1. “My uncle, JFK, and a group of senators toured the base.”

2. “I saw the movie with two kids from school, Tom and Jerry.”

In the first sentence, the serial comma creates ambiguity. Is JFK an appositive naming the speaker’s uncle or merely the second person in a list? In the second sentence, including the comma would resolve the ambiguity of whether Tom and Jerry are the two kids from school or two other people who went to the movies.

The argument over the serial comma is endless and tiresome, so here is my maxim: I follow the appropriate style guide for the writing at hand (as a journalist, this means I use AP Style). If no style guide is more appropriate than another, I choose whichever construction leaves the least ambiguity. After all, if your readers don’t understand your writing, then it doesn’t matter how “technically correct” the serial comma is – you’ve failed to effectively communicate.

Pancha Rathas: Honoring a poem Commentary by Don Knebel Monumental shrines carved in solid rock in southeast India pay homage to a poem that influences the lives of hundreds of Travel millions of people every day. The shrines themselves, although never completed, have also had a lasting influence on the appearance of India.

Near the small town of Mamallapuram, about 40 miles south of Chennai along the Bay of Bengal, seventh century artisans sculpted five enormous shrines from a single outcropping of granite. The tallest of the intricately-carved shrines rises more than 35 feet from the sand and all include chambers for sheltering the images of one or more Hindu gods and goddesses.

Inside one shrine, an adoring follower of Durga is famously shown cutting off her own head as a sacrifice to her goddess. In another, a statue merges the separate gods Shiva and Vishnu into a single, ecumenical image. Two lions and an elephant, carved from the same outcropping, stand guard.

The shrines are known collectively as “Pancha Rathas” (Five Chariots) because they reportedly suggest the wooden chariots used in ancient temple processions. Although originally intended to become temples, the shrines were never completed and therefore never consecrated. Long ago the residents of Mamallapuram decided to name the shrines in honor of the heroes of

the Mahabharata, an epic poem completed in the fourth century A.D. that includes 1.8 million words and 200,000 verses, making it about eight times longer than the Iliad and the Odyssey combined. Included within the complex poem is the 700-verse Bhagavad Gita, a synthesis of moral and religious principles that is as important to Hindus as the Bible is to Christians. The Mahabharata recounts the story of five brothers of the Pandava family who battled their cousins for control of a legendary kingdom in northern India. Four of the Pancha Rathas are named for the Pandava brothers, two of whom were twins,

and one is named for Draupadi, the wife they all shared.

The distinctive styles of the Pancha Rathas became models for later Hindu temples constructed throughout the Indian subcontinent. As a result, the shrines are now part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
