Culver students witness history

Dispatches Correction — In the Jan. 24 edition of Current in Zionsville, the name of the nonprofit that Nested Spaces is supporting was incorrect.

Nested Spaces is supporting So Big.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Culver Military Academy junior Sean Kim, being part of the Presidential Inaugural Parade was about being part of his school’s rich tradition and making some inauguration life-long memories.

“The mere fact that we were part of the inaugural parade and being part of such a long tradition, since we’ve been doing it since 1913, was an honor,” Kim said. “For us, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It’s something we will all remember and all cherish.”

Kim, who lives near the Zionsville/Carmel border, and fellow junior Jerry Jin were among the members of Culver’s Black Horse Troop in the Jan. 20 inaugural parade in Washington D.C., following President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Culver Girls Academy freshman Karinna Kanach of Carmel rode with the 24-member Equestriennes during the parade.

This was the 17th inaugural parade for the Black Horse Troop and the eighth for the Equestriennes. It was the 104th anniversary of the Black Horse Troop’s first inaugural parade appearance. The mounted unit served as the official escort for Vice President Thomas Marshall during Woodrow Wilson’s inaugural parades in 1913 and 1917. Like Vice President Mike Pence, Marshall was an ex-governor of Indiana.

“We woke up early (at 4 a.m.) to get the horses ready,” Jin said. “We took them to the staging area where we unloaded the horses. Then we took them through security to the second staging area. We walked our horses in a circle for about three hours. We then mounted and got into a formation. It was definitely exciting. We did a lot of preparation. It was definitely gratifying to

think we just did this. I think we did pretty well.”

The following day Kim said the troop had a ceremony at Arlington National Ceremony for a fallen member of the Black Horse, a World War I casualty.

“We also went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and watched the changing of the guard,” Kim said. “Then we had a dinner at the Marine Museum in Quantico, Virginia, where a lot of Culver graduates attended.”

Art awards — Zionsville Community High School student Jessica Donovan has received three honors in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in the Central and Southern Indiana Region.

She received a Gold Key for her drawing, “Matches,” a silver key for her painting, Donovan “Watercolor Animals,” and an Honorable Mention for her painting, “Acrylic Jars.” Gold and Silver Key winners will have their work on display at Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler University from Feb. 1 to 26.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A fallen oak tree has closed an entrance to Starkey Park trails.

Early Jan. 19, Zionsville Parks parks Dept. crews discovered a fallen oak tree in Starkey Park, which has permanently damaged parts of one of the trails.

Park users will not be able to access Trail SP-1 from the Starkey Park parking lot to the trails intersection at Trail SP-2 until at least the end of spring.

The tree, which was six feet in diameter at its base and four feet in diameter at chest height, fell onto the pedestrian boardwalk on SP-1. The boardwalk, originally constructed for an Eagle Scout project, is permanently damaged. The base of the stairs leading to the boardwalk also was destroyed.

Crews assess a fallen oak tree that destroyed parts of a trail. (Submitted photo)

Matt Dickey, superintendent of parks and recreation dept., said in a news release that the fallen tree is a result of improper trail use by walkers and runners.

“Runners, instead of stepping on the steps, they go around the steps,” said Amanda Dorman,

Zionsville director of communications and community relations.

That action wears down the soil. Dickey said that when people walk off the trails and to the side, tree roots are compacted and eventually can die.

“We haven’t posted signs, and I don’t know how much that would help if we did,” Dorman said. “The tree’s roots you could snap in half because they were so damaged.”

A fence has been erected to prevent visitors from using the trail segment until it reopens.

“Eventually, the plan is to rebuild the boardwalk and look at other ways to rebuild the steps,” Dorman said. “We are looking at putting in an industrial metal staircase.”

Dorman said an exact monetary figure isn’t known but “it will cost tens of thousands of dollars” in staff time and repair costs.”

App wins Best in State

By Heather Collins • news@currentzionsville.com Zionsville Community High School seniors were recently awarded Best in State in Verizon’s Innovative Learning app challenge.

The students will now achievement compete nationally for the “Best in the Nation” award as well as the “Fan Favorite” award.

The seven ZCHS seniors developed an app titled NuTown. The app is designed to help visitors discover local services, businesses and places of interest in a new town. The app also will help visitors review Yelp rankings, schedule Uber or Lyft rides and view community content in one centralized app.

On Feb. 13, the students will present their app to the Zionsville school board and receive new tablets and $5,000 from the Verizon Foundation.

If the team wins the “Best in Nation” award, they will receive an additional $15,000 for their school as well as a trip to a conference in Florida to work with MIT media lab developers to assist them in creating their app.

ZCHS economics teacher Bob Brennan said he found the Verizon challenge last year and introduced the app challenge to his students.

“The kids enjoy doing the challenge because

it gives them a chance to apply the things we do in class to real activities and problems,” he said.

Zoe Craft is one of the students who helped develop the concept for NuTown. Craft said the group wants to add a function that enables users to view nearby local events.

“I’m really excited about the fan favorite contest,” Craft said. “It’s a great idea, and I’d like to think we have a good chance.”

The “Fan Favorite” award is determined by public voting. To participate, text NUTOWN to 22333. The winners will be announced Feb. 15.

Race a mid-winter motivator

LIMITED TIME

By Chris Bavender • news@currentzionsville.com Super Bowl Sunday and its traditional treats are right around the corner. Those looking to burn off some calories before the big game are encouraged groundhog 7 to sign up for the 45th annual Groundhog 7 race, a seven-mile event that winds through Zionsville beginning at 1 p.m. Feb. 5 at Zionsville Community High School.

Registration is free for those who bring donations of canned goods and non-perishable items for the Zionsville Food Pantry.

“A large part of Indy Runners’ mission is to promote running and walking as lifestyle activitie,” said Trena Roudebush, Indy Runners’ communications chair. “Minimizing barriers is one of the ways we can do that. We’re fortunate to partner with a number of organizations to make the race possible and keep it free.”

Through the years, the Groundhog 7 has benefited a number of organizations, including St. Mark’s United Methodist Church Mission Project, Shepherd Community Center and Gleaners Food Bank.

for donors to put their canned goods in, and we’re able to directly impact the community we’re running through,” Roudebush said.

The Groundhog 7 is run the first Sunday in February for two reasons — a seven mile race fits well in a training plan for someone preparing for a March half-marathon and an April or May marathon, and it falls near Groundhog Day, when many people start to waver on their New Year’s resolutions.

The race typically has 300 to 400 participants, from pre-teens to retirees.

Pre-registration is recommended to avoid lines and delays on race day. Sign up at IndyRunners.org. Learn more about volunteering inside or on the course by emailing medical@ indyrunners.org.

An embarrassed Scout leader Commentary by Ward Degler A friend and I got to talking about Scouting and all the neat things Boy Scouts do. I agreed, Scouting builds plain talk character in young men and sets a moral standard for adult citizenship.

I spent more time as a Scout leader than I did as a Scout, mostly because when I was at Scouting age we never seemed able to hang onto a Scoutmaster long enough for most of us to advance through the ranks. Instead, as an adult, I donned the neckerchief of leadership and did my best to help the local troop navigate the waters of Scouting.

Hiking and camping were favorite pursuits of mine, so I quickly volunteered to lead Scouts on an orienteering hike through the woods to a hidden campsite for a weekend outing. The hike was set up as a competition between two troops, and a referee hit the woods first and set up numerous trail markings for us to find and follow.

The troops were labeled A and B. My guys were B. We each had our own starting point, and both troops hit the trail, paragons of Scouting virtue. It was when trail A and trail

B intersected in the middle of the woods that virtue gave way to mischief.

Some member of troop A thought it would be fun to turn around our marker – just to give us a little extra challenge. At least, that’s what he confessed to later.

Unfortunately, my guys thought the marker was just fine the way it was, and even when we failed to find another marker soon after, we kept going. Sadly, the Scout in charge of following the map lost the compass, and troop B got totally lost.

We were found by the same Scouts that had misled us and were led into camp in time for a cold supper and early to bed. There was an official apology by troop A after the Pledge of Allegiance the next morning.

I learned later that the ringleader of our misdirection himself got lost during an advanced Scouting exercise when one of his trail markers got changed.

Nobody ever found out how that happened.

MIND Diet Shown to Reduce the Risk of Dementia Now featured at Westminster Village North

Scientific evidence continues to show that diet can actually reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. A study by Martha Clare Morris, ScD, a Professor of Nutritional Epidemiology at Rush University has shown that the MIND diet can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by up to 53% and slow cognitive decline associated with healthy aging by as much as 6.5 years.

The MIND diet has been shown to support cardiovascular health and incorporate more of the foods linked to improve cognitive function.

New town council President Elizabeth Hopper talks goals, changing roles

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Elizabeth Hopper is a Zionsville Town Council veteran but new to the role of president, a position she will hold for 2017.

She sat down with Current in Zionsville to share her thoughts on the year ahead, her leadCover Story ership style and changing roles.

Before joining the council, you were active in many volunteer roles. Why did you decide to jump into politics?

I’d been approached by people, knowing my background and my ethics and my desires to give back to the community. I was approached, ‘Would you be interested in running?’ And I was, because I think it’s really important that the council reflect the makeup of the community.

I plan on being here for the next 40 years, and the decisions that are going to be made impact not only me but my children as well.

You’ve served two terms as vice president.

What’s unique about serving in the role of council president?

You’re more on point for having direct communication on a regular basis with the mayor and deputy mayor, (knowing) their goals, what they have in mind moving forward in the next year and communicating that to the rest of the council. Also, being a conduit the other way. If they have questions about a project, I welcome them to ask me questions and keep the information going both ways.

How has the role of council president changed now that the town has a mayor?

2016 was a transitional year that Susana (Suarez) took on, trying to find the balance of the new role with having a mayor. I think she did a phenomenal job. I look forward to finding a place on the council to make sure that this goes in conjunction with the goals of 2017.

How would you describe your leadership style?

It’s more inquisitive, asking lots of questions and asking the rest of the council to ask the right ques-

tions to find out the answers. It’s not taking anything at face value and encouraging the other council members and myself to dig deeper to find the answers.

What is your goal for the 2017 Zionsville Town Council?

It’s making sure that we’re moving forward in a positive direction as we try to foster the development of this community. The big challenge is making sure that anything that comes to our community comes for the right reasons. It’s making sure that not only are they going to work in the short term but that the longterm viability will complement our community.

What accomplishments are you proud of as a Zionsville Town Council member?

What’s been exciting is seeing the changes that have been made since 2012. With the tax caps, we’ve had to take a long hard look at the disparity between (business and residential areas). It took a number of years for the town to readjust to that, and I think now that some of the businesses are coming in here, we’re seeing the increase. It’s been positive, the growth on Main Street, south Main and development down there. It’s been good to watch these projects come in.

Do you have political aspirations beyond serving on the town council?

I currently don’t have any goals beyond council. Right now, I’m focusing on committing myself to my family and to my job to the town.

What do you want Zionsville residents to know about you?

I ask the questions behind the scenes, and that’s because I want to know what I’m going into. That’s one of the reasons I think that people sometimes think that I’m the quiet one. I am a very private person as well, but I’m real and approachable.

I’ve seen concerns that (constituents) have, since we’re living it, and I welcome anybody to come and ask questions and voice concerns.

Also (I’d like) to hear from people who do approve of the things that we do. So often we gauge the public’s reaction to a project on the people who are against it, and I welcome that. That’s something we want to hear, but it’s also nice to occasionally hear that people do approve of the projects and like what they see going on here in the community.

meet elizabeth Hopper Zionsville Town Council President Elizabeth Hopper grew up in the Chicago suburb of Riverside and moved to Indiana in 1996, settling down in Zionsville five years later.

“We were looking for quality of life, schools, parks, town services and landed here. This most reminded me of Riverside with the quaint downtown area,” she said. “I wanted to give my children the same experiences I had growing up here.”

Her boys, ages 16, 15 and 13, grew up attending Zionsville schools through middle school. The two older ones are now at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School.

Hopper also graduated from a Jesuit high school and studied at Loyola University, another Jesuit campus.

She is the third oldest of nine children — five sisters followed by four brothers. Her brothers all served in the military, and her siblings now live throughout the U.S. and beyond. One of her brothers also moved to

Indiana, settling in Marion with his wife, and her parents retired to West Lafayette.

“It’s nice to have family close, but it’s also nice to explore different parts of the world,” she said.

In her spare time, Hopper enjoys pursuing photography and running, especially along the Zionsville Rail Trail.

“That’s my time that I check out and I think,” she said. “I think when I run.”

I feel the need ... for Top Gun mothering

F R O M T HE backshop

Bring on voter IDs We would urge President Donald Trump to forego the deep and broad investigation into voter fraud, whose results won’t change a darned thing – except perhaps allow him bragging rights on the popular vote - and instead opt for immediate institution of a voter identification card, which was a reported goal. That should go a long way toward settling the issue. It’s probably not perfect, but dead guys can’t sign up for an ID, and the person with multiple addresses across state lines would have to choose one. Besides, a lengthy investigation will do nothing except bring an “I told you so” if Trump’s suspicions are confirmed or an “Oops; it was worth a shot” if nothing is proved. What would be guaranteed, though, is an expenditure of taxpayer dollars on the effort, and those dollars would be spent much more wisely on another pursuit, such as studying the effects of expediently reducing corporate and personal income tax.

••• You might know by now that we are not fans of much of the mainstream media.

So imagine our ire when it was disclosed that outlets are taking vicious potshots at Trump’s youngest son, 10-year-old Barron.

That kid – even Chelsea Clinton spoke up on his behalf – should be allowed to live as normal a gold-plated existence as possible.

He didn’t suggest his mom and dad become president and first lady. Leave him alone, media twits, and go report – truthfully – on other aspects of the presidency. You know, kinda like you didn’t do with respect to our former president, Barack Obama?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

They made noise and left Commentary by Terry Anker “I’m here for the oppressed,” she said through her stylish cashmere Burberry scarf, with her blue-green eyes peering from the gap between it and the hand-knitted pink cap in a carefully formed cat-ear design pulled down tightly in an effort to appear serious. Perhaps she was. But it seemed like she was there more for the fun of it all.

We humans are a protesting lot. It all starts as we sit in our high chairs, asserting our first toddling attempts at independence from our life-giving parents, and refuse to eat our peas. When mother encourages us to consume the spherical green seeds, we protest – throwing back our heads and screaming until the walls shake. We are unhappy.

And you NEED to know about it.

In this long tradition of sharing our own personal point of view, many stand ready to stand for or stand against – well, something … anything. As our nation exhibited yet another peaceful transition from one presiden-

tial administration to another, the streets of our nation’s capital filled with those ready to use the gathered witnesses as an audience to their own ends. They came alone, in packs, small groups and bus loads. Each selfpossessed with their own grievance. There are those who believe our leaders are too religious, and those who believe our leaders are too little religious. Some love pigs. Others love pork. All the “ists” were represented – race, sex, fasc, misogyn and too many more to count (indeed, some took terrific liberty with the English language).

Some rose to the attention of the national media – a mechanism to provide backdrop for their own ever-slanting narrative. But most made a bit of noise and then went home.

Today’s homage is to my teenage crush Tom Cruise and the 1986 flick I saw six times in the theater, “Top Gun” (you’re welcome, SJ!).

One of the ongoing dogfights here at Chez Wilson involves our children not working to their potential. Our oldest, in particular, has caused many a liquor store fly-bys as Doo and I struggle to understand how someone with a pretty good head on his shoulders can make such poor decisions when it comes to homework and studying.

It’s almost as if he’s purposely buzzing the tower of unacceptable grades just to see if he can spill someone’s coffee.

We keep telling him that as a senior in high school, if he doesn’t want to end up selling rubber dog poop out of Hong Kong, he’s going to need to apply himself. He’s going to need to do it right like his old man and not settle for the second-place plaque in the Ladies Room.

Luckily, of late, our Maverick has been doing better. He’s stayed above the approved academic hard deck for several months now and has only been inverted once. But we still see him occasionally pulled into the danger zone, unable to resist the siren’s call of Netflix and video games and hanging with his wingmen. And that’s the hard part for us, keeping our helicopter instincts grounded while he serenades potential disaster. We don’t want his ego to start writing checks his report card can’t cash, especially now that college is looming like a great ball of fire, but we also don’t want to always be up in his grill.

I suppose this is just a normal part of parenting teenagers, learning to trust your child to pilot his own F-14 through swarms of MiG-28’s and hoping that if he does need to pull the ejector handle, he stays clear of the canopy (yeah, I went there).

Peace out.

Drawing first blood, again

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I had blood drawn the other day. I don’t envy phlebotomists. Imagine having a job where everyone hates you for humor what you are about to do, and the first thing you say to the person is “make a fist.” Plus, when she tells people she’s a phlebotomist, a lot of her patients think she has six husbands.

My technician, Shirley, uses the same joke every time. She looks at me with flirty eyes and says, “It’s too bad you’re married. You’re my type.” I laughed at this for my first few appointments, but I have my own joke for my next visit. When she tells me what a tough day she’s had, I’ll tell her to just go with the flow. I’m not sure how much longer we can keep this up. Probably ’til my LDL goes down.

Shirley says there are two kinds of people in the world: Those who watch when the needle goes in and those who don’t. She says those who stare are usually uptight, aging baby boomers who are control freaks. Ever since she mentioned that, when she sticks me, I tell her what lovely eyes she has or how interesting the clinic ceiling is.

Shirley also likes to sneak in a little medical advice of her own. She tells me Cheerios

would be good for raising my HDL. Or was it that Wheaties will lower my LDL? All I know is, she doesn’t think much of Count Chocula and Fruit Loops.

How long are you supposed to keep that silly cotton ball and bandage on your arm? I rip it off the second I walk out the door. My wife thinks if you remove the bandage, you jeopardize your health insurance coverage.

At her last yearly check-up, she just told the phlebotomist to take off the old bandage and stick her in the same place.

When I left, Shirley confirmed my personal information …

“And is that your correct birth date, March 5, 1947?”

“Well, I’d like to change that to l957.”

Incredibly, she took her pen and scribbled something on the page.

I walked out of the office on cloud nine. My cholesterol may still be sky high, but I felt 10 years younger.

Art of the elite Commentary by Amy K. Sorrells This may come as a surprise to some, but I read books.

Lots of books. humor My bookshelves are crammed full of them.

I love the symphony. I bird-watch. I graduated from a liberal arts college. I write novels.

The surprise is I voted for Donald Trump, and according to people like Meryl Streep, only elites are capable of appreciating such things.

Recently, even the beloved Garrison Keillor defined anyone anti-Trump as, “…librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners, Unitarians, birdwatchers, people who make their own pasta, opera-goers, the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves.”

Keillor went on to say those who voted for Trump are, “ ... uneducated white male ... people who jump in the RV with a couple sixpacks and go out and shoot some spotted owls.”

I beg your pardon.

My proclivity for a six-pack aside, the appreciation of fine art, dining and nature is not reserved for elites. While my word-art will never be as beloved as Roald Dahl, I know the

ache of putting words to what others can’t say. And I loathe bad grammar.

That’s not liberal.

Nor is it conservative.

No man owns the rights to moonlight, to the sunrise, to stars shimmering over rippled water, to the constellation of grief, or to love in a couple’s eyes. Artists are merely interpreters of beauty and pain that does not belong to them.

Streep should save her acting voice from her screaming and recognize “instincts to humiliate” may simply be the culmination of frustration of millions of marginalized Americans told for years they don’t know what love or art or beauty is.

If our nation is to heal, we have to stop defining each other by our politics. The world needs all of us, and all our differences.

As Van Gogh said, “ ... what is done in love is done well.”

No matter who you voted for.

No more UTIs — Here are the best ways for women and men to avoid these common infections: 1. Visit the bathroom frequently. Holding urine can distend and irritate the bladder.

2. Drink lots of water to flush bacteria from the intestinal tract.

3. Eat yogurt. The good bacteria can improve the overall health of the digestive system.

4. Drink cranberry juice. Be sure to drink real juice, not the flavored cranberry cocktail.

Hands and feet always cold? — When your body senses a drop in external temperature, blood vessels in your extremities contract to redirect more blood to your trunk. This protects your organs by keeping them warm. This is why cold weather affects your hands and feet more than other parts of your body. To counteract this, stay well hydrated and increase your activity level to improve circulation.

Hancock explores unsolved mystery in ‘Black Dahlia’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Black Dahlia case is one of the most famous unsolved murders in U.S. history.

Elizabeth Short, nicknamed the Black Dahlia by Dance newspapers, was brutally murdered in Los Angeles in 1947.

Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre audiences will take their crack at solving it when the theatre presents “The Black Dahlia” Feb. 4-19 at 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel. The six cabaret-style performances will be at 7 p.m. Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. The production was created by founder/artistic director Gregory Hancock.

“We set up four scenarios that could have happened. We use some historical facts but took some artistic liberty, too,” Hancock said. “There’s not a lot of information about the crime and who could have done it. So we developed some scenarios, and the audience gets to decide who it was. They have suspect cards on their table, and they vote.”

Company dancer and teacher Hannah Brown, 25, will play the role of Short, who was 22 when she was murdered.

“I made the mistake of looking it up when I was eating lunch one day. I wouldn’t recommend it,” said Brown, referring to the gory details of her murder. “I became fascinated with the unsolved mystery of it and how little is known about her life before her death. Lots of people confessed but they don’t think any of them actually did it, and the most likely candidate they were closing in on died in a fire.”

Hannah Brown will perform in the title role in Hancock Dance Theatre’s “The Black Dahlia.”

There are some lighter moments.

“We like our emotional roller coasters here,” Brown said.

“There are some fun moments.

There is a little sister duet that is light-hearted. There are some sad moments and dark moments, too.”

Hancock said the music is different than what he would normally use.

“There is a lot of 1940s swing music and ‘40s Latin swing music,” he said. “There are a lot of fun and happy sections and almost comic sections. Then when it becomes dark, it becomes creepier.”

The production is the annual fundraising show, board President Ivy Heazeltine said. There will be a live auction with some original art.

Heazeltine said approximately one-third of the theatre’s revenue comes from ticket sales and the rest it has to raise.

Zionsville fourth-grader joins ‘Joseph’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Claire Kauffman sat in the dark, watching her sister Cynthia perform as Wednesday Addams in “The Theater Addams Family” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, and she was inspired.

“I thought it looked like fun,” she said. “So I decided to try out for ‘Joseph.’”

Kauffman Her audition earned her a spot in the first of three children’s choirs performing during the run of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Kauffman is in the first choir, performing from opening day Feb. 2 through Feb. 19.

Now 10 years old, Kauffman has been performing for half her life. Her favorite roles include Mopsy in “Peter Rabbit” and Betsy Cratchit in “A Christmas Carol,” both at IRT. “I also love to do shows at The Black Box, The Biz and at my school,” she said.

The Zionsville fourth-grader attends Pleasant View Elementary. She said the most difficult part about being in a show is missing school.

“My school and teachers have been great,” she said. “Even though I am at the theatre a lot, I still have to make time for my homework.”

She has the support of her 16-year-old sister, Cynthia, who inspired her in the first place.

“She helps me practice my lines,” Kauffman stated.

When she isn’t performing, Kauffman enjoys doing arts and crafts, science experiments, tap dancing and spending time with her friends. Someday she hopes to be an actress, teacher or scientist. She is the daughter of Scott and Kim Kauffman.

Blueprint for Improvement: Maximizing bathroom space Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal for this master ensuite was to maximize the usable space for each separate function, while coordinating with the aesthetics of the adjacent master bedroom.

1. Multiple walls were relocated to reconfigure the bathroom and closet spaces. This allowed for the closet, vanity and shower spaces to all double in size.

2. The new double-sink vanity has a significant amount of additional storage, including two tower cabinets that contain outlets inside for hiding small bathroom appliances. The beautiful cherry-stained cabinets and unique marble countertops are the focal point of the room and coordinate seamlessly with the finishes of the adjacent master bedroom.

3. A clear, frameless glass shower surround gives an open, bright feel to the new, larger shower. It also accommodates a corner seat and two recessed storage niches, convenient for holding personal care items.

4. A new heated floor system with a programmable thermostat is a hidden feature that adds an additional level of comfort.

Before Background Info: This Geist home in the Beam Reach neighborhood of Indianapolis had unique features that were no longer functional. Also, the original 1980s aesthetics did not align with the owners’ personal style and overall vision for their home.

Before problems: Before the renovation, the bathroom was dark, outdated and confining. For the amount of square footage in the master ensuite, there was too much wasted space because of a large recessed hot tub and chopped up functions in separate areas. In addition, the shower was too small, and the ensuite lacked sufficient vanity and closet storage.

DIVORCE: Parenting Coordination

Hire Us

Before Your Spouse Does DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW MEDIATION & COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law DUI 317.DIVORCE | www.hzlegal.com 11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

High conflict co-parenting situations are not only extremely exhausting, but are challenging to find any type of quick resolution. Furthermore, litigation is not always the best solution for these types of matters, as the parties lose control of the outcome, the process can be slower than desired, and it is generally very expensive. However, a positive trend that is increasingly growing in Indiana family law cases are the appointments of parenting coordinators. A parenting coordinator (or “PC”) is an individual appointed by Order of the court and charged with managing on-going issues between parents in cases with constant and substantial disputes involving child custody and parenting time issues.

Generally, the PC is either a mental health professional or a lawyer with significant experience in family law issues.

What is a PC’s role/function? The purpose of the PC is to help assist divorced parents navigate their co-parenting relationships by resolving impasses concerning child-related issues and helping to redirect parents to focus primarily on the needs of the child. A PC will aid in developing, implementing, and maintaining parenting plans to ease parenting issues, all in hopes of reducing further litigation. A PC’s authority is specifically defined by the Court’s Order, which is generally prepared by the parties’ and their respective attorneys. The Order of the court will have considerable detail as to the extent and limitations of the duties of the PC; however, the easiest description for the PC’s role is the PC will have the ability to act as a communication facilitator, an ongoing mediator and even, essentially, an arbitrator for excessively divisive situations.

As the goal is to help the parties effectively co-parent and address issues which may arise from time to time, the PC typically meets with both parties regularly, receives day-to-day questions and complaints about any aspect of a party's conduct, gathers information from outside sources (schools, doctors, counselors, etc.) and works with the parties, looking for consensus or, at least, basic agreement. If this is unsuccessful, the PC

may choose to inform the parties of what the PC believes is in the best interests of the child in the hopes of pushing the parties to an agreement.

While the role of the PC does not divest the court of its jurisdiction to determine child-related issues (custody, parenting time, child support, etc.), the PC may submit recommendations to the court if no agreement is possible. Further, upon receipt of the PC’s recommendations, depending upon the circumstances, those recommendations may be immediately adopted by the court.

How is a PC selected? Either party may petition the court to appoint a PC. Alternatively, if both parties agree that their situation would benefit from the involvement of a PC, the parties may submit an agreement for the appointment of a PC to the court. If an agreement is reached, the parties may also select the PC which would work best for their matter.

How much will this cost? PC’s are oftentimes attorneys and charge parents for the time involved in addressing the issues presented by the parties. Typically, a court will require the parents to share the PC’s costs, so that they are both “invested” in the process. As part of its authority, the PC has 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 PC expense.

Thus, for parents who find themselves in the midst of constant high conflict battles concerning parenting time or custody matters, or are forced to have repeated hearings or mediation, a PC might be a great alternative solution to consider.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com. We have attorneys at our firm who are active Parenting Coordinators and available for appointment.
