New Hall-of-Famer Nolan gives back by coaching

3

DISPATCHes

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com If Kris Nolan wasn’t busy enough with her job and being a mother of two, she moonlights as a Zionsville Community High School assisprofile tant girls basketball coach.

But it’s worth it to Nolan.

“I just love the game of basketball,” Nolan said. “I want to see our program get better. Basketball has given me so much with education and friends. I just want to kind of give back so girls can realize there are a lot of possibilities out there.”

Nolan Nolan, whose maiden name is Veatch, is one of Zionsville’s all-time great players. she will be inducted into the Indiana Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame at a banquet on April 25.

“I was absolutely floored,” Nolan said. “I didn’t expect to be inducted as an individual. I was selected to the Silver Anniversary Team in 2009. I was quite humbled to be recognized with (former Brebeuf Jesuit standout) Vicki Hall and those types of players.”

Hall also is being inducted in April.

Nolan, a 1984 Zionsville graduate, led the Eagles to a 49-13 record over her final three seasons (including a sectional title in ’83). She was the first Zionsville girls player to top 1,000 points (1,047). She led New Mexico State to its only two NCAA Tournaments (198788) in its history. The 5-foot-11 Nolan, who is in the New Mexico State Athletics Hall of Fame, finished as the school’s all-time leading scorer and is still third with 1,768 points and fourth in rebounds with 966.

Nolan, 48, played professionally for two years in Sweden and Australia.

“That was quite an opportunity to see parts of the world I never would have seen,” Nolan said.

After two years as a New Mexico State assistant coach, Nolan returned to Indiana to work for Dow Chemical Co. She became a Zionsville assistant coach shortly afterwards.

“I think I like practice more than the games because practice is more about teaching,” Nolan said.

“I enjoy the girls I get to spend time with every day and the coaching staff. All are pretty amazing people.”

Nolan is in her second stint as an Eagles assistant under Andy Maguire, joining the staff when Maguire returned as coach in 2010.

“Kris is an outstanding role model for our girls

Smits was one of 18 boys from Indiana to be nominated for the team, which will feature some of the top basketball players in the nation facing off against each other April 1 in Chicago. Smits, who did not make the final roster for the All American team, has committed to play basketball at Valparaiso University next year.

basketball program,” Maguire said. “She has dedicated a large part of her life to helping young ladies improve their basketball skills and learn some valuable life lessons.”

Nolan, who has also been a high school assistant coach at Hamilton Southeastern and Lawrence Central, works in marketing and communications at Dow AgroSciences.

Nolan and her husband Henry, a Zionsville High School teacher, have two children, Maddie, 14, and Luke, 12. Maddie is an eighth-grader and Luke a sixthgrader at Zionsville Middle School. Maddie plays basketball and volleyball. Luke plays basketball, baseball and football. Henry formerly coached but now is a basketball referee.

“We have a family calendar we have to update to manage everyone’s schedules,” Nolan said. “It’s what we enjoy doing, so we wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Mr. Zionsville shows artistic side on way to win

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Michael Luse wears the Mr. Zionsville crown after winning the competition Jan. 22. (Photos submitted by Sara Bardool)

Michael Luse had a hidden talent.

The Zionsville Community High School senior took a chance and put it on display, achievement and his reward was being named Mr. Zionsville at the annual competition on Jan. 22. “[Art] is one thing I’ve loved that not a lot of people have known that I’m good at it or enjoy,” Luse said.

“When I do art, it’s just kind of time to myself. It was an opportunity for me to share my art with others.”

During the four-minute talent portion on stage, Luse painted a blackboard with rubber cement. In the last 30 seconds, he took sand and threw it all over the board. The result was a portrait of Marilyn Monroe, much to the delight of the crowd of 1,100 at Zionsville Performing Arts Center.

During the interview portion of the competition, Luse portrayed swimmer Michael Phelps. All 10 of the contestants took part in the opening dance routine.

“I would say it was the best experience I’ve had throughout high school,” Luse said. “All 10 of the guys really bonded. There wasn’t a single person that was disappointed in the performance and we all just had a great time together.”

Other Mr. Zionsville awards went to Joe Knue, Mr. Spirit, and Jeff Ting, Mr. Talent.

Asked if he was confident he could win, Luse said it depended on the stage of preparation.

“At the very beginning it was very hard,” Luse said.

“The art wasn’t turning out like I was planning on it. As

Michael Luse used rubber cement and sand to create a portrait of Marilyn Monroe during the Mr. Zionsville competition.

I got more and more comfortable with lots and lots of practice, my confidence was raised.”

Luse, a middle linebacker, served as captain of the football team this past season. He is also involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

“I’m heavily involved in Traders Point Church, I lead a life group of seventh-grade boys,” said Luse, who plans to major study building and construction management at Purdue University.

Mr. Zionsville serves as a major fundraiser for the school prom.

Novel a story of darkness, hope

By Brittany Fleetwood news@currentzionsville.com

Amy K. Sorrells has always had a passion for writing, but when she realized it may not always put food on the books table she decided to become a nurse. Still, she continued to write and will soon publish her second novel, “Then Sings My Soul.”

The author’s experience as Sorrells a nurse is evident throughout the book, a story of aging, dying and searching for hope in dark times. “Then Sings My Soul” is Sorrells’ second novel published by David C. Cook and will be available March 1.

“As a nurse, every day I meet people, see things, experience tragedy and gain insight in ways I never, ever would otherwise,” said Sorrells, a Zionsville resident and DePauw University graduate. “My work fuels my writing, and my writing fuels my work.”

Most of Sorrells’ writing is faith-driven and shares some of the same themes. Her first novel published by David C. Cook — “How Sweet the Sound” — is a story of second chances. It is a coming of age story full of redemption and dark secrets. The author’s passion for the country of Ukraine — where she has family connections — may also be seen in her work.

In addition to being a published author, Sorrells has been a two-time semi-finalist for the American Christian Fiction Writers Genesis awards and was the winner of the 2011 Women of Faith writing contest.

When Sorrells isn’t writing, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three sons in their home, digging and planting in her garden and photography.

Sorrells doesn’t plan on slowing down with the release of her new book. Readers can expect the release of “Lead Me Home” in 2016, a novel from Tyndale House Publishers.

“Then Sings My Soul” “Then Sings My Soul” tells the tale of Nel Stewart caring for a father with dementia as she copes with the recent death of her mother. When packages from Ukraine arrive at her doorstep and an old high-school sweetheart reenters her life, Nel believes God is restoring her faith and her future by pulling her back into her past. Through elements of mystery, history, faith and romance, Sorrells hopes to reveal to her audience how God redeems the broken years.

Remembering state’s auto legacy Commentary by Ward Degler When we think of carmakers, we automatically think of Detroit. After all, that’s where the Big Three – Chrysler, Ford and Plain talk General Motors – reside. But the history of American car building started in Indiana.

Elwood Haynes built his first gasoline-powered car in 1894 in Kokomo. The initial test drive saw Haynes tool down the street for a mile and a half at seven miles-per-hour.

A year later he was joined by the Apperson brothers, who are credited with developing the first profitable car company in America. By 1916 they had sold 7,000 cars. The company went out of business in the 1920s, but the street where their factory was located in Kokomo still bears their name.

Early car manufacturing blossomed in the Hoosier state, and at one time some 250 companies in 40 different Indiana cities were making cars or car parts.

Some companies lasted only a few years. Cole Motors, for instance, built cars in Indianapolis from 1909 to 1925 and is remembered mostly for giving a car to President William Howard Taft.

The Milburn was an all-electric automobile built in Mishawaka. President Woodrow Wilson bought Milburns for his Secret Service agents.

Indiana-manufactured cars tended to be high

quality and expensive. Most, like the Apperson, were built by hand. August Duesenberg boasted of his memorable vehicles, “I make them hell for strong!” One Duesenberg ad also guaranteed the cars could do 125mph – in reverse.

Stutz made a big splash with its cars – especially the sporty Bearcat – during the Roaring Twenties, but went bankrupt in 1936. Likewise, Cord and Auburn, noted for their innovation and superb quality, failed to survive the Great Depression.

The most notable exception was Studebaker, who parlayed a farm wagon building into a car company that thrived in South Bend until 1963.

While the Appersons built cars in Kokomo, other manufacturers focused on car parts. Headlights, for example, were pioneered in Kokomo, and sealed-beam headlights were first manufactured there.

As a sidebar, Haynes is best known for inventing stainless steel, a product that earned him a lot more money than his cars ever did.

And when George Kingston got tired of making carburetors, he started making roller skates.

Counting money, measurements, writing and social studies are all things that children in first grade will learn. But Carolyn Fundraiser Moore’s students are learning these skills in a practical way that will also help others.

While learning about community helpers, Moore’s Pleasant View Elementary first graders decided to raise money to buy food for the Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership by sponsoring a hot chocolate stand.

“They made the signs, they’re learning to count quarters, they have to measure liquid to make the hot chocolate,” Moore said. “We even integrated writing skills to ask for donations.”

As a result of the student’s letters, Meijer donated a gift card to purchase cups, straws and marshmallows. Trader Joe’s donated 240 packets of organic hot chocolate.

The students even wrote to the town council for suggestions on appropriate locations for a hot chocolate stand in January. Town council president Jeff Papa

helped facilitate holding the fundraiser at Greek’s Pizzeria and owner Mike Cole offered to donate 15 percent of his profits during the event.

During the Jan. 24 sale, students formed an assembly line to create each drink (customized with or without marshmallows), kept track of orders and made change. After three hours they had sold 116 cups and had raised a total of $356.19 before the final contribution from Greek’s.

Last October during fire safety month, Moore’s class led a Gatorade-drive that resulted in 1,300 bottles being donated to the fire station.

ees .

For new Zionsville Community Schools board of school trustees president Shari Alexander Richey, the biggest chalLeadership lenge the district faces this year is clear: the pursuit of equitable state funding.

Zionsville has joined similarly low-funded school districts to form the Fix-it Coalition, whose goal is to improve school funding for the fastest-growing and highest performing districts. The idea Richey for the Fix-it Coalition came from Zionsville Community Schools Superintendent Scott Robison and Chief Financial Officer Mike Shafer.

“Our funding formula fixes do not have to cause harm to students in high poverty districts — and this is absolutely not our aim,” said Richey, who was appointed as president in January.

“We believe in differentiated funding, but we see first-hand that the skew of this broken formula leaves us at the bottom in state funding, an unsustainable position. Equitable funding is not equal funding for all, but our students deserve equitable support.

According to a release by Robison, in 2015 Zionsville Schools will receive $800 less than the state average in funding per pupil. That amounts to $5 million annually (equivalent to 80 teachers’ salaries).

Richey said the board members have gone to the legislature to meet with the area representatives.

“We want to make sure the message is clear and the message is resonating,” said Richey, who has already attended several meetings on the issue this year. “I think the awareness of the broken funding formula has sunk in as good as ever in terms of getting the message across.

There is certainly discussion on how they might rectify that situation.”

Richey, who had been the school board secretary the previous two years, replaces Jim Lon-

gest as president. Jane Burgess is in her third year as the board’s vice president.

Burgess agreed that finding an equitable funding formula is the most crucial issue the district faces. Another objective, she said, is to support excellence and innovation in educational programming for the district’s students.

“ZCS continues to explore Performance Qualified School District status to foster more internships and study travel,” Burgess said.

Another mission Burgess highlighted is to strengthen the partnership with the Town Burgess of Zionsville and “continue seeking ways to share in cost savings and generating new sources of revenue.”

Both Burgess and Richey praised the district’s administrators, staff and teachers.

“Our teachers, staff and administrators are doing Yeoman’s work,” Richey said. “We must do all we can to support them.”

School board cuts own pay The Zionsville school board showed its commitment to cutting costs by voting to decrease each member’s annual salary from $2,000 to $1, the lowest amount allowed to still be considered an employee for tax purposes. That results in nearly $10,000 in annual savings for the district.

Vice president Jane Burgess made the motion to cut board members’ pay at the January meeting.

“I would support doing that in this period of time where we’re working to be thrifty and cost saving in every way we can,” she said.

“It’s a way we can put forth our best interests [and show] that we also want to contribute and help.”

Although this is the first time that the board has officially cut its salary to next to nothing, newly-appointed board President Shari Alexander Richey said it’s not uncommon for board members to give their salaries back to the district through the Zionsville Education Foundation or in other ways.

“I went online (to register) as soon as it opened up, because I wanted to be able to get a spot,” BeMiller said. “It was really helpful, knowing that I would be going to Pleasant View every day anyway. Lucy had gotten to know the school in general and the principal from coming in with Chloe over the years. It was kind of neat for her because I think she felt she was starting school. She was excited to go to a place where her sister goes.”

Starting in the 2015-2016 school year, students in all elementary attendance zones will be able to take preschool classes at their future campus with the district’s expansion of the universal preschool program to all five elementary schools as well as Zionsville West Middle to add schools.

Katie Seymour has been teaching in the Zionsvillle preschool program for three years. She was at Boone Meadow for two years before moving to Pleasant View this year. She believes that students benefit in many ways from attending preschool at their future elementary school.

“It’s going to ease the transition to kindergarten. [Students] are going to have the opportunity

Kim Hollis’ daughter, Sophia, 3, attends the Pleasant View ages 3-4 class four days per week.

Her older daughter, Morgan, is a first grader at Pleasant View.

“The location is so convenient, not only close to my home but obviously both of my children are there,” Hollis said. “The transition to actual school kindergarten is so much easier for them.

They’re in that building. They’ve eaten in the cafeteria. They’ve gone to library. It’s home for them after being at preschool for a couple of years.”

Even though her oldest attended preschool at Boone Meadow, being within the school district still smoothed the transition, Hollis said.

“She was so ready for kindergarten because they mimic that school environment to a T,” Hollis said. “It was a no-brainer for us to put our second daughter through the same program. I’m just glad it happens to be at her school now.”

To register, click on the EZChild link on the Zionsville Community Schools website. To be eligible for the ages 3-4 classroom, children must be 3 by Aug. 1 and toilet trained. To be eligible for the Pre-K classroom, students must be age 4 by Aug. 1.

Worth the wait

FRO M T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

“Hello, sweetheart?

Get me rewrite!”

That headline is a throwback to the days of journalists actually phoning in stories.

Here’s another quote: “It’s meant to be a resource, not a news source and we’ll be clarifying that in the days ahead.” Smooth move.

That was Indiana Gov. Mike Pence mid-week last week in the aftermath of his shocking announcement earlier that his administration would be creating a state-run news agency with your tax dollars. Your. Tax. Dollars. The question we immediately asked ourselves upon learning of his decisions was, “Pravda?”

We were referring nearly half-jokingly to the political newspaper associated with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation; it was the official voice, if you will, of the ruling faction. So when Pence’s news was released, it set off shockwaves in every newsroom in the free world. So severe was the backlash that the governor who wouldn’t be president – yet – quickly backpedaled into the well more comfortable “source” mode as opposed to “news organization.” And now he has trashed the whole idea. Good call. While we have to assume the initial thought was well intentioned, the mere thought that it could have debuted as a “state organ” was, well, disturbing at best. This is a man, who in 2005 was quoted as saying: “… as a conservative who believes in limited government, I believe the only check on government power in real time is a free and independent press.” So there you have it. We got a kick out of immediate trolls on social media, though, including one extremely clever post that pointed to Pence’s “news service budget” as featuring: “Pence has a commanding lead of the Republican race for president. In a new poll of everyone who works in his office …” and “Mike Pence used his superpowers today to push an impending blizzard to the northeast.”

This is why everything needs to be thought out before a decision is made, and that would include any voter’s time in the polling booth.

Powerful questions

Commentary by Terry Anker

We humans have been obsessed with power as long as there has been a recorded history.

We consolidate it. We accumulate it. We use it to impose our will on others. And, if we are feeling a little more charitable, we use it to advance the common good. Whatever its purported use, we understand and manipulate it to our own ends.

According to those who study such things, power is delivered it in two ways. The first and most fundamental form is Legitimate. It is derived from a specific legal or social authority.

The police have Legitimate power to do certain things at certain times. They are authorized by our society to use lethal force to impose their will without consequence (assuming they follow their proscribed restrictions on the license).

Employers, parents, teachers and scores of others have been imbued with this kind of power.

The other, and I believe more important of the two forms, is Influence. It is the ability of a person or movement to urge an outcome. This

type supersedes the limitations on Legitimate power. Regulations and governments can be overthrown. New social orders can be established. All but the laws of physics (and human nature) are vulnerable to its pressure. Religious leaders, politicians, celebrities and a myriad of bloggers, gadflies and activists can claim access to Influence.

If we have too little power, we often become isolated, depressed and even angry. If we have too much, we can become self-possessed, narcissistic and abusive. Isn’t the way we use the power under our control, whether too much or too little, the ultimate measure of who we are?

Should we cause harm to others just because we can? Is it any better to hoard power rather than deploy it to some benefit? Can we steal the power of another?

Q U O T E OF T H E W EEK The greatest weariness comes from work not done.

– Eric Hoffer

I used to work out regularly at a gym. I was a stay-at-home mom with four young children and a full-time nanny for my nephew. The Fishers YMCA provided two hours of daily free childcare plus an adults-only women’s locker room. ‘Nough said!

Once my kids were in school and I returned to teaching, though, driving the 20-plus minutes for Turbo Kick just didn’t make sense. So I invested in a pair of decent running shoes and hit the roads. For the most part, I’ve done okay on my own. I miss the classes and the “destination” aspect of a gym, and my workouts are often horribly inconsistent, but until recently, I couldn’t justify the time or cost.

I’ve registered for an April triathlon, which puts most of the training on days that are too cold/dark/icy to run/bike/swim unless you’re inside. And since my husband Doo already belongs to a fitness center, he could simply add me to his account. So after dance drop-off but before tae kwon do practice, I headed over for the first time, excited to try something new.

That excitement ended two minutes after entering when my card triggered a warning message: “Not valid. Please see Client Services.” Apparently Doo had listed an incorrect automatic withdrawal number. Amidst a sleety drizzle, I was forced to return to my van to retrieve my Mastercard and dignity.

Financial crisis averted and access finally granted, I immediately located a stationary bike, clearly more technically advanced than the Y’s 2005 recumbents. It took three dismounts to make the proper seat adjustments while my phone kept falling through the holder.

Then I realized I hadn’t brought earbuds. This meant either watching a soundless collection of ’80s music videos or staring at my fellow exercisers. I opted for the latter.

Boredom set in at minute four, the same time I began to sweat profusely. My display kept flashing, “Decrease resistance!” but I didn’t know how. None of the buttons or knobs seemed to help, and I grew increasingly frustrated and fatigued. Quads a-burning, I attempted a “Standing climb” position and nearly vaulted myself into a nearby treadmill. Luckily my feet were strapped in and I only managed a chest bump with the monitor. Miraculously, I survived another 20 minutes, of course locating the simulated gear shifts in the last 60 seconds of cool down. Finally, resistance decreased!

Overall, not a wonderful hour. And yet, I’m kind of looking forward to the next visit. There is something about being surrounded by people who are making an effort. And honestly, I still enjoy a kid-free moment at the gym!

Peace out.

Needing a major adjustment Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I have been happily married for more than three decades. We had humor some difficult moments over the years, but right now we are better adjusted than we have ever been.

Our toaster setting, for example, has been a source of some heated discussion. Mary Ellen sets the dial so low that we should call the device our Hamilton Beach warmer. She says my toast is too burnt, which is silly, but it’s hard to argue with her when I’m fanning our smoke alarm with a wet dishcloth.

“Why can’t you put it back to the dark setting when you are done?” I asked.

“You can darken light toast but you can’t lighten dark toast,” she said. I decided not to pursue this conversation, but like toast, the next morning another issue popped up…

“Mary Ellen, why do you have our treadmill on such a high speed? I got on after you finished exercising, flipped the switch and it catapulted me backwards and into the basement wall. Can’t you turn the speed down when you are done?”

“Yes, if you leave the wash cycle alone so I don’t ruin my blouses.”

“I don’t want to wash my jeans on the super delicate cycle by accident. The guys at the club would have a field day with that. Why is it so

cold? Did you turn the thermostat down?”

“Put on a sweater.”

“I had it perfectly adjusted. I like the house to be 72 in the winter. Seventy degrees is too cold for me.”

“Dick, you like 70 degrees in the summer, but not 70 degrees in the winter. Why would that be?”

“I have no idea. But I know that all the folks reading this are nodding their heads.”

Then during the news, we have this exchange: “Dick, IS THE TV LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU?” “I hear it just fine, thanks.”

“I know you do, and so do the Wilsons next door.”

Lately we have found a compromise on our juicer between the Smoothie and Whip setting (we’re frapping, now). We’ve settled on the same water temperature when we shower, as long as no one flushes the toilet.

We need a new mattress, and in this case, I’m very sure we can purchase one that will be perfect for each of us. My wife’s had my number for years.

Warm up by one of these fireplaces this Valentine’s Day

By Chris Bavender • news@geistcurrent.com There is just something about a fire that screams romance. Maybe it’s the dim lighting creating an intimate restaurants atmosphere, or perhaps the warm glow bathing your skin as you gaze into the glimmering flames and enjoy a cozy dinner with that special someone.

And, when it comes to setting the mood on Valentine’s Day (and every day) it could be the reason so many restaurants feature fireplaces.

At The Gathering Bistro and Pub at Geist, the fireplace - located in the center of a wall separating the bar from the dining room - immediately draws your eye.

“So it is the focal point of both the bar and dining area. There are about six tables that sit close to the fireplace in the dining area,” said Jill McGlinchey, managing partner at The Gathering.

“While in the bar there is a hearth that bar patrons like to sit on with a drink to warm up.”

And, on Valentine’s Day, McGlinchey said, they want customers to “enjoy a romantic setting while basking in the glow of the warm fire.” And, she adds, many prefer to have a table near the fireplace.

“The light of the fireplace accentuates everyone’s best features and provides a warm, relaxing refuge on a cold winter day such as Valentine’s Day,” she said.

At 10 West in Cicero the fireplace in the basement - also known as The Cellar - invites patrons to snuggle down in the leather lounge chairs near the baby grand piano and enjoy a cocktail and great music.

“The basement is my favorite - I grew up with ‘the rat pack’ playing at home by my parents - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin etc.,” said Brett Morrow, co-owner of 10 West. “With this in mind, I wanted to create a place where a couple could have an awesome meal, good glass of wine or cocktail and a truly romantic

experience. The maroon leather booths, brick walls, low ceilings and romantic fireplace all add to this vision.”

But, it isn’t just the fireplace that adds to the romantic ambiance, Morrow said.

“When we were creating the environment, we had an awesome canvas to work with. The building was built in 1894 - with the high ceilings, hard wood floors and open brick. My mind was running with all of the options we had, I’m a big fan of modern, this combined with the natural elements that we had to work with gave us a truly unique space,” he said. “I think the large ‘log’ table in the center of the restaurant shows this.”

At Conner Prairie the nights of what are called “Hearthside Suppers” give patrons a chance to not only enjoy the roaring fire, but incorporate it into their dining flashback-in-time experience.

“All the work is done by hand, over the fire.

The dining room is lit only by candles,” said interpretation program developer Michelle Evans. “All in all, if you let your imagination carry you away, you may really feel like the Conners might be home at any moment to further welcome you in to their home.”

While the experience at Conner Prairie is different, Evans said romance is still in the air.

“Ours, again, is different than others, in that we are cooking over the fire and not cozying down in front of it. Our fireplace is the centerpiece of the kitchen and is used just as it would have been in 1836,” she said. “There is something romantic about that idea of time travel but I think couples who enjoy cooking together at home would enjoy the chance for this very unusual cooking and dining experience.

The sight and smell of a real fire just seem to bring out a more instinctive side of ourselves that seems very appropriate for Valentine’s Day. I think our experience adds even more to that when you are actually preparing food for and with your spouse or significant other.”

Braving the cold with kids

Looking for a reason to venture out in the cold? The Indianapolis Museum of Art is beckoning! This year, the museum is hosting a Family Day each month as part of its newly unveiled ARTx programming. Family Days run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month, and include art activities, storytelling, and music. Each day has a distinct theme: Hip Hop U in March, and Museum Madness in April when the NCAA Final Four arrives.

January’s kickoff drew 2,000 attendees.

“Our approach is, how do we make cool programming for adults that’s also suitable for kids?” said Scott Stulen, Curator of

Audience Experiences and Performance. “Too often, it’s the other way around.” Coming up on Feb 7, Family Day will have a Chinese New Year theme, featuring lantern designing, the Indianapolis Chinese Orchestra and animated film “The Monkey King.” Admission is open to all, and February’s event is free to attend.

The museum also plays host to Cereal Cinema: classic family movies and a cereal buffet. The film series alternates between the IMA and the Athenaeum downtown, and will serve as the kick-off for March and May’s Family Days. The next showing is “The Princess Bride” at the Athenaeum on Feb. 7; tickets are

available for $5 online.

For ages 2-5, check out Winter Kids Koncerts at the Monon Community Center. These free events are held on the final Monday of each month from 10 to 11 a.m. Children enjoy singing and moving to the beat of family-friendly entertainers, and parents get to take in the experience along with them. January’s event drew in a combined 400 kids, parents and caretakers. Upcoming Koncerts will feature Island Breeze Duo on Feb. 23 and Kid Kazooey on March 30.

Don’t wait: Enjoy heart of palms Commentary by Ceci Martinez You don’t have to wait till the summer to try this great dish! Ceviche is a seafood dish hugely popular in South America and Central America.

Recently my family and I spent the holidays visiting family in Costa Rica; in our trip I was introduced to this delicious recipe, Hearts of Palm Ceviche. Hearts of Palm (palmito in Spanish) also called palm hearts, is a vegetable harvested from the inner core of the stem from certain palm trees. This delicacy and tropical vegetable is the best you can eat! It contains many beneficial nutrients. To start, it is very low in cholesterol, a good source of protein, potassium, vitamin C and A and very rich in fiber. It is for vegan and vegetarians and is super easy to make!

HEARTS OF PALM CEVICHE Serve: 6 Ingredients: 1 can or jar hearts of palm, drained and cut in rings, 1/2 cup Manzanilla olives with pimentos, drained and cut in rings, 1/2 cup lime juice, 1 handful fresh parsley, 1 jalapeño, diced (or to taste), 2 large tomatoes, diced (any color), 1 large avocado cut in small cubes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper to taste Directions: Cut hearts of palm and olives in circles and put them in a bowl; add lime juice,

parsley, jalapeño and olive oil (reserve 2 tablespoons of lime juice, parsley, jalapeño, olive oil mix) and chill for 40 minutes to blend flavor.

While ceviche is chilling, dice tomatoes and pour in the reserve lime juice, mix well, season with salt and pepper, cover and put it aside until the hearts of palm are ready. Right before serving dice in avocado and carefully fold into ceviche, adjust seasoning and mix all well.

Assemble: Serve in a small glass bowl, pour one spoon of tomatoes, then the mix of hearts of palm and olives and top it with extra avocados.

Claghorn Custom Flooring

Looking to spend a special night with your special someone on Valentine’s Day this year?

If so, the “Be My Valentine” event music sponsored and venued by The Warehouse is the perfect spot to fulfill you and your loved one’s fanciest and most magnificent Valentine dreams. The main event: a concert featuring two love-locked musicians, Blair Clark and Heather Ramsey Clark. The two musicians rarely get the opportunity to perform together, so this event is your moment to see them live.

The husband-and-wife dynamic that the Clarks bring to the stage in a concert like this is a wonderful presentation that gives them, as a couple, the opportunity to celebrate the idea of Valentine’s Day doing what they love with whom they love. Often they perform and produce music separately in other parts of the country, so this chance to be reunited and share their struggles with the audience is one to cherish. In an interview with the couple, Blair said that he hopes “this special concert will spark even more duets in the future,” so that the two can share their “passions on stage” as well as with their fans.

As far as what’s next in their productions, Ramsey Clark is working on a new project in Los

Angeles that she is excited to share with her devoted fans in the next couple of months.

The concert is for those 21 years and older and will begin at 8 p.m. The Warehouse, 254 First Ave. SW, Carmel.

Gallery Walk to have carriage rides

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com It’s not often that a second Saturday gallery walk falls on the exact date of Valentine’s Day. But this Feb. 14, families and couples art can stroll through the Carmel Arts & Design District to enjoy art galleries, romantic dinners and the biggest draw: horse and carriage rides.

Two horse-drawn carriages will escort visitors around the district free of charge. Rides should last about 10 to 15 minutes from 6 to 9 p.m.

Stephanie Marshall, special events coordinator for the district, said planners are working on a route and schedule so as many people can enjoy carriage rides as possible. In past years, she said the demand has been extremely high.

“We have way more people than we have carriages,” she said. “So we are trying to maximize it.”

Visitors can enjoy Valentine’s Day related artwork at a few galleries. At ArtSplash gallery, Nancy Keating, who works with glass mosaics, has created a heart-themed piece. At the Hoosier Salon, renowned Hoosier glass artist Lisa Pelo has created some glass roses that will be on display.

Several art galleries will be handing out roses to visitors. There’s also a scavenger hunt through the district with prizes such as charm bracelets, a $50 gift card to Donatello’s and a romantic photo print of flowers from photo-artist Marie Reamer.

Glasswork by Lisa Pelo will also be on display.

(Submitted photos) Artwork

by Nancy Keating featuring the heart design will be on display at ArtSplash during the Feb. 14 Gallery Walk.

Marshall said she expects the nearby restaurants to be packed, with Valentine’s Day falling on a Saturday, so hopefully these fun events throughout the district will give couples something fun to do while they wait for a table.

Beware of glaucoma dangers

Commentary by Dr. Tammy Wittmann

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that randomly steal your sight without warning and often without symptoms.

In a healthy eye, there is a balvision ance that is achieved between fluid produced in the eye and fluid leaving the eye. But with glaucoma, either too much fluid is produced or not enough leaves the eye. Either of these problems increases the pressure in your eyes.

Continuous elevated pressure damages the optic nerve. It’s important to note that it is this damage that is glaucoma, not high pressure. About 30 percent of patients with glaucoma have what is considered normal pressure for the eyes.

If left untreated, damage to the optic nerve can lead to vision loss and even blindness. Here is a true case in my practice. I saw a 72-year-old man who was a farmer. He had never had a comprehensive eye examination. His distance vision was always pretty good but he started wearing over the counter readers in his late 40’s. When he was 72 he realized the readers were no longer helping

his vision so he came to see me. Unfortunately he had end-stage glaucoma in both eyes and the optic nerve was irreversibly damaged. There were no prescription glasses that could help him see better. There were no treatments that could bring back his vision. The only thing we could do was to try to save his remaining vision, which by this time was like a very restricted tunnel.

There are several treatment options available when glaucoma is caught soon enough. Your eye doctor may suggest eye drops, a laser procedure or a surgical procedure depending on the type and severity of your glaucoma.

This is only one reason for a seemingly healthy person with 20/20 vision to get an annual comprehensive eye examination. Call your eye doctor and schedule yours today if you haven’t already.

Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

Stuffy nose remedy Is your head cold all in your nose? Nighttime cold medicines can contain alcohol and often disrupt sleep rather than help you heal. Instead, just before bedtime, try a teaspoon of prepared horseradish topped with a half-teaspoon of ground black pepper. Or, swallow one-half teaspoon of honey with freshly ground pepper sprinkled on it.

The power of protein

Commentary by Cory Black

Want a healthy metabolism? Desire healthier hair and smooth skin? Need stronger bones?

Essential from everything from skin, food bones, muscle and the hormones and enzymes, protein really is the foundation of health and its role often gets a bit overlooked.

Some of its key benefits are its support for a healthy metabolism for more efficient calorie burning throughout the day. We are made up of aminos and it is essential for rebuilding and restoring the body, from bone to muscle to our skin. We get benefits from protein whether we are trying to get stronger, slim down or just feel healthier.

Our body doesn’t store the amino acids we get from protein and we need a fresh supply every day. This is a great example of how all calories are not equal, as a calorie of protein is not treated the same as a carb and fat storage.

Protein as well takes longer to break down and digest and helps you feel fuller longer.

As part of a healthy diet, eat a serving of protein with every meal and two to three protein rich snacks through out the day from different sources. Animal proteins such as from eggs,

Animal proteins most closely mirror the types of proteins our bodies need, according to health guru Cory Black. (Submitted photo)

grilled chicken, lean steak, and fish most closely mirror the types of protein our body needs.

Nuts can be a good source for a snack, such as almonds, cashews, peanut butter and almond butter. Beans and legumes, lentils, black beans, chickpeas and pinto beans can help round out a meal. Greek yogurt and whey protein are healthy dairy sources.

Protein as part of our nutrition made popular when it comes to the latest fad diet or protein shake system, but always has been a foundation of good health. Not just for a leaner you, protein is vital for a healthier you.

Food choices: this or that?

Commentary by Dr. Debra Balos

We make food choices every day based on a variety of factors such as taste, calorie count, nutritional value and preferwellness ence. Sometimes we think we’re making the healthier decision, when in fact we aren’t considering the whole picture. Here are a few examples: Fat free or regular – Some fat-free foods are also taste free. To compensate, food manufacturers often add other ingredients like sugar, flour, thickeners and salt to boost the flavor or enhance texture. So while we’re eliminating fat, we may be adding calories or eating ingredients with little nutritional value. Also, because fat-free and reduced-fat foods often lack taste, we may tend to eat more of them to feel satisfied. In this case, it may be better to eat a small serving of a more satisfying whole-fat food to avoid overeating. When choosing “good” fats, look for monounsaturated fats (examples: canola and olive oils) and polyunsaturated fats (examples: tuna and salmon), which both lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Butter or margarine – Margarines earned a bad reputation years ago when the trans fat the spreads contained was shown to clog arteries.

Today, many margarines are free of trans fat.

You can tell by the consistency with softer being better. Butter, on the other hand, is high in saturated fatty acids, which can increase LDL cholesterol. The healthier option is a soft margarine, but be sure to check the sum total of saturated and trans fats on food labels to confirm your decision.

Light salad dressings – Again, sugar and salt are often added to light salad dressings.

Make the wiser choice by mixing your own dressing with vinegar and olive oil. Balsamic and sherry vinegars are mild, flavorful options.

Artificial sweeteners or real sugar – Compared to real sugar, sugar substitutes have very few calories. They are also considered safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Sugar-free foods can still contain carbohydrates, fat and calories, which can impact weight management.

Bottom line? Make it a habit to read nutrition labels. It’s the best way to know what foods contain so you can make the best choices.

On the family name Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Now the question is whether your name needs a simple “s” or an “es” to become plural.

If a name ends in “s,” “x,” “z,” “ch,” or “sh,” it needs an “es” to become plural. The Lopezes. The Marshes. The Wattses. All other names just get an “s.”

Now, you might not like how “The Wattses” looks. Neither does Microsoft Word, which has given it an angry red squiggly line on my screen.

Word is wrong – but your opinion is valid. The way to avoid a construction you don’t like is to do exactly what you did: turn your last name into an adjective, followed by “family.” The Watts Family is perfectly acceptable (still no apostrophe though!).

Thank you for writing in, and hopefully that clears up your holiday card confusion. Keep sending in your questions to the Grammar Guy, and I’ll keep doing my best to answer them!

Question: “I recently read a post on Facebook that pointed out the incorrect use of the apostrophe to pluralize a last name. Having married in to my last name, I have grammar guy used the apostrophe learned by the rest of the family. Not to believe everything I read on the Internet, I decided I would ask the grammar guy.

Which is correct when signing my Christmas cards - The Watts’ or The Wattses? (I frequently use The Watts Family to avoid this dilemma)” – (Gail Watts, Fishers) Answer: Well, we didn’t get this cleared up in time for Christmas cards, I’m afraid, but we can at least make sure your Easter cards are correct. (Do people send Easter cards? Why don’t I get any?)

There are only a few very specific circumstances in which you use an apostrophe to make a word plural, and names aren’t one of them. (If you’re interested in when you do use an apostrophe for this purpose, you can check out all of the old issues of Grammar Guy on the Current website.)

Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

Medina Azahara (Shining City) near Cordoba, Spain, was the most dazzling city in the entire world during its very short life. Ironically, its premature demise allowed its archiTravel tectural innovations to survive.

In 929 A.D., Abd-ar-Rahman III declared himself Caliph of Cordoba. Seeking to demonstrate that he was equal to his title, in 936 Rahman began building a magnificent new palace city on a 300-acre site in the foothills of the Sierra Morena a few miles west of Cordoba.

The architects took advantage of the hill-side by designing three terraces, the top reserved for the palace and the bottom for government workers. The middle terrace included a hall for receiving foreign ambassadors, covered with ivory and gold to impress the visitors. The hall also reportedly included a bowl of mercury the Caliph could jiggle to scatter reflected sunlight around the room.

When completed in about 976, Medina Azahara incorporated more than 4,000 marble columns, some scavenged from as far away as Carthage.

Most of the columns supported horseshoe arches, an architectural feature borrowed from the Visigoths but modified by alternating stones of different colors to call attention to the curved

shape. Some of the arched columns separated courtyards from surrounding areas, a novel idea at the time. Formal Islamic gardens, watered by an aqueduct from the mountains, bordered the most important buildings. A modified Roman aqueduct served as a sewer. At the end of the tenth century, when Cordoba was the intellectual center of Europe, no city in the world could match the splendor of Medina Azahara.

In 1010, Berber forces battling for control of Cordoba destroyed Medina Azahara. The city was abandoned and many of the columns and arches were carried away and reused. Medina Azahara itself was soon buried and forgotten, but its architectural ideas, including the column-encircled courtyard and horseshoe arches, found their ways into buildings throughout southern Spain and eventually influenced the design of the Alhambra. Archaeologists who began excavating at Medina Azahara in 1911 have uncovered about 10 percent of the original city, including the palace and reception hall. The so-called “Versailles of the Middle Ages” is forgotten no more.

Project: Whole-house renovation on Geist Reservoir

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING HOME: The owners of this 30-yearold home, located in Feather Cove near Geist, purchased the home blueprint for exclusively for the improvement breathtaking views of Geist Reservoir. “From the moment we first drove up to the house, it had this intangible feeling that you get when you get a hug. It truly felt like home and we could see life taking place here. Looking past the existing cosmetics, we purchased the home with a vision of remodeling the entire home to create a cozy sanctuary for our family to enjoy for years to come.”

THE KITCHEN: “The kitchen is the heart of the home and the heart of our family. The two walls separating the kitchen from the living and entertainment spaces took away the joy of cooking for guests.” To open up the kitchen, walls were removed and a support beam was installed to support the second floor. Although the footprint did not change, the new open layout allows for abundant storage and countertop space.

The kitchen features two-toned cabinetry, eyecatching granite, an island for prep work and a separate island for seating.

MASTER BATH: The original master bath had an over-sized garden tub, small shower and outdated closet system. To add privacy and create a fourth bedroom, the doorway leading into the

before & after

RESULT: “There’s no way we could pick a favorite space in the whole house.

The changes allow us to enjoy every space and facet of the home. Everything about the renovation makes us feel happy. We can’t wait to start the next chapter of our lives together in this home. ”

office was terminated. New walls were framed for the new closet and bedroom wall. The new bathroom features a luxury marble shower, a freestanding tub with a great view of the lake, his & hers vanities and a double sided fireplace. “All of the materials came together to create an elegant and romantic feeling to our master suite. It has everything we need to relax and unwind after a long day.”
