Plan commission votes against rezoning for senior living facility

By AnnMarie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com After a long – and at times heated – discussion, the Zionsville Plan Commission voted 4-2 not to recommend the town hall rezoning of 25 acres near Oak and Cooper streets to accommodate a proposed senior living campus.

Residents packed Town Hall on Feb. 17 to weigh in on the issue, with several speaking out against the development in a public hearing that was continued from the commission’s January meeting. Only one resident spoke in favor of the rezoning, and the majority of those who chose not to speak expressed support for those who spoke in opposition.

Kyle Morris, a resident of the Russell Lake Drive who has served as an unofficial spokesperson for his neighborhood at the last two meetings, said he was pleasantly surprised by the commission’s decision.

“I’ve already been approached by many neighbors who are excited and happy with the results,” he said after the meeting. “We’ve all put in a lot of work, and we don’t have quite the pocketbooks that [developer] CarDon has.”

Plan Commissioners David Franz and Allan Rachles were the lone votes in favor of the rezoning, and Josh Fedor recused himself from the discussion.

The proposed site for the senior living campus developed by CarDon is on the south side of W. Oak Street between the Russell Lake and Enclave neighborhoods and is currently zoned as Rural Single Family Residential Zoning District. Developers had asked that it be rezoned to a Planned Unit Development.

The proposed facility is planned to contain several elements that include assisted living, skilled nursing, individual apartments and cottages. Nearby residents expressed concern over increased traffic, decreased property values and future development in the area, but developers said they did not expect those worries to become a reality.

“It’s rare, we believe, for a project to have the characteristics that it does that places very little burden on public services, substantial benefit to the public tax rolls and over 50 percent open space, while at the same time meeting a very significant need in our community,” said Matt Price, an attorney representing CarDon who is also a past Zionsville Town Council president.

David Boggs, who is running for Town Council in District 3, told the commissioners that had been appointed to the ZPC during Price’s tenure that they should recuse themselves from the discussion. That led to cheers from some members of the audience but a sharp response from several of the commissioners.

“This is one of the most egregious and reprehensible statements I have ever heard,” Rachles said. “I will not recuse myself.”

With the plan commission giving its verdict, the debate will next move to the Town Council, who is expected to discuss the issue at its March meeting.

Morris plans to meet with Tom Schuler, the Town Council member representing his neighborhood and the site of the proposed rezoning, to share his views on the development.

Price did not return a request for comment as of press time.

As dangerous as cancer is, it can also be rather difficult to talk about. But Dan and his wife Beth are doing more than talking, they’re singing the praises of all those who helped. “I figure if we’re going to fight cancer, let’s get Community on our team,” declares Dan. And as Beth can attest, it was that team that she truly appreciates. She says, “What I liked about Community is that they had a navigator that helped us with all the tests and the terms we didn’t understand. It was comforting to have someone looking over our shoulders.” Of course successful outcomes don’t just happen, they take collaboration. Just ask Dan’s surgeon, Dr. Narayanan, who says, “Dan’s team and our team have given him every chance in the world to be around for a long time with his wife, his kids and his grandkids.” Choosing to beat cancer starts with choosing the right specialists. No one qualifies more than Community.

Concert aims to raise money for parking lot repairs

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com With the sidewalk at the American Legion Post 79 shifting, sinking and becoming a bit of a hazard, manager DeeDee fundraiser Woodrum decided to do something about it. She and musician Mike Waterfall organized Steppin’ Out, an evening of music, food and dance to raise money to repair the sidewalk.

But within a few weeks of announcing the event, she was amazed that individuals and businesses had already donated enough to cover the expenses. Now the event has a new purpose.

“It will be Steppin’ Out into the parking lot,” Woodrum said.

It took four years to raise enough money for a new roof, she said, so she feels it’s time to start raising enough to resurface the pothole-filled parking lot.

“We know it’s going to take $85,000 to $100,000 to have it completely redone right,” she said, “but I’m also applying for grants and such.”

If the funds raised from the evening aren’t enough to resurface a portion of the lot, Woodrum intends to put the proceeds toward refilling and patching holes.

Waterfall, a Zionsville resident and frontman of Midnight Mike and the Marauders, hopes that the benefit will do much more than just provide funding for parking lot repairs. He said it’s designed to attract people of all ages and introduce

live music,” said Waterfall, who is also a substitute teacher at Zionsville Community Schools.

“We are also looking at it as an opportunity to introduce them and others to the work that The American Legion does in support of local veterans.”

Woodrum agrees. “I’m trying to get the word out to the young veterans now to keep the Legion going,” she said. “This is a place for them and their families. It’s so much more than a bar.”

Local Arc group forms long distance friendship

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com They may be separated by 9,267 miles, 15 time zones and wide-open oceans, but The Arc of Greater Boone County isn’t nonprofit letting that stop them from a blossoming friendship with The Arc Disability Services in Cairns, Australia.

The Boone County nonprofit first contacted their friends across the world when they saw that both groups had put together a video participants made to the song “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. Since first reaching out last year, the new friends have enjoyed exchanging emails, learning each other’s interests and comparing Indiana to Australia.

“We have also mailed packages to one another with gifts that would be of interest. We exchanged T-shirts,” said Marcia Clutter, who handles community relations at The Arc of Greater Boone County. “They sent us a wooden box that they had made, and we sent them a Christmas ornament made by our Arc Artisans.”

Clutter said the Australian organization is much larger than the one here, and one huge difference is that they are located very near the beach, which makes the Boone Country Arc staff and program participants very envious.

Boone County clients involved in the long distance friendship include Zionsville residents Stephanie Burdine and Kim Milas, as well as Brad Lanpher, Steve Sonderman and Henry

“Recently our group sent photos of themselves in our first snow storm of the year,” Clutter said. “This was exciting to the Australians, most of whom had never seen snow. And we found out that right now they are awaiting a monsoon to cool them down.”

A group from the Arc in Australia said that they have also enjoyed learning about the many differences between Indiana and their hometown.

“We like the new friendship because we like to see pictures of our new friends,” they wrote in a group email. “It makes us think about the things [that] are the same for all of us and which are different. For example we all go an Arc, but here

in Cairns it is sunny and hot and in America it is snowing and cold like a freezer.”

The Australian group is fundraising to try to come to the National Arc Conference, which will be held in Indianapolis in early October.

“We all hope that we’ll be able to meet in person and to give them a tour of our agency,” Clutter stated.

‘Girls Night Out’ to benefit schools

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com

With last year’s inaugural Girls Night Out a huge success, the Zionsville Education Foundation is bringing back the FUNDRAISER event from 7 to 10 p.m. Feb. 27 at the Palomino Ballroom.

This year’s theme: “Our Schools are Our Community’s Jewels.”

Attendees are asked to wear a piece of jewelry that has special meaning and be prepared to share the story behind it. The best story will be named the “Gem of the Night,” and the winner will receive a sterling silver and ruby necklace donated by Robert Goodman Jewelers.

Other themed events include a “Drape Yourself in Jewels” photo booth for trying out donated jewels and “The Heist,” a game that could lead to big winnings.

Proceeds from the evening will go toward the ZEF fall classroom grant cycle, which provides funding for school programs.

“Our inaugural Girls Night Out event last year was a huge success, and our committee is using the feedback we got to make this event even better,” said Tracy Phillips, ZEF executive director, in a statement. “The committee is working hard to make sure our guests enjoy their time together supporting what we all care so much about: our schools.”

The new-and-improved event will also include a large selection of appetizers, desserts and

hors d’oeuvres; a raffle for an armoire filled with donated jewels; the popular Take-a-Spin wheel; and plenty of time for guests to enjoy a night out together.

“Another common comment from our guests in the past was that our patrons didn't have time to just talk and socialize,” said Kathy Weed, event chair. “ZEF GNO activities are designed to allow our guests to mingle, have fun and support a cause.”

ZUMC supports Ten Point Coalition

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com With escalating violence in Indianapolis a recent hot topic in the news, a group from Zionsville United Methodist Church decided faith they wanted to find a way to make a difference.

After months of determining the best way to help, Sue Forry and fellow ZUMC parishioners Rich Richey and Sherman Whitfield organized a community meeting Feb. 12 to highlight the work of the Ten Point Coalition, a faith-based organization working to reduce violence and address critical issues in the greater Indianapolis area.

“We have a passion to see them get some help and awareness and support,” Forry said.

Leaders from the coalition and local community spoke to a group of about 45 congregation members to explain why the organization’s work is important to the area.

“Everything is moving north,” said Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen. “We’re seeing burglaries increase more than 10 years ago.”

Violent crime rates haven’t yet increased, but Nielsen emphasized the need for Zionsville residents to understand that the high crime rate in Indianapolis does have an impact on neighboring cities.

The speakers shared ways that Zionsville residents can help combat crime in the area.

“Even from Zionsville you can contribute. Your help will be greatly appreciated and greatly

So far ZUMC has raised $500 to purchase reflective vests for volunteer groups to wear as they patrol the streets of Indianapolis, reaching out to gangs and other groups. Other volunteers have offered to help with office work, the food ministry and mentoring children.

Forry plans to hold additional meetings to raise awareness of this issue inside and out of the church.

“This movement will continue,” she said. “We feel this is just the beginning of our partnership and our ministry.”

The bad news about GMOs Commentary by Ward Degler There is a big story brewing on America’s farm fields, but no one is saying much about it. It’s the tale of GMO’s, or Genetically Plain talk Modified Organisms.

Since the mainstream media hasn’t covered GMOs very much, most of us know very little about what they are, why they were created and what they do.

GMOs are seeds – soybeans, corn, cotton and canola - that have had their DNA altered by a complicated scientific process. When these seeds are planted, several things happen.

Foremost, they produce their own herbicide and pesticide compounds. They require less tillage, which reduces the amount of fuel needed to plant and cultivate. And, GMO plants are reportedly more prolific.

So far, so good. But, there’s bad news.

Seeds from GMO plants won’t germinate, a fact that blindsided a lot of soybean farmers some years ago. Farmers have always kept a portion of their crop for next year’s seed. Those who inadvertently saved and planted GMO seeds got no crop. And even if Farmer A didn’t plant GMO seeds, if Farmer B down the road did, Farmer A’s fields were likely pollinated anyway by the summer breeze. Numerous lawsuits against GMO seed producers remain unsettled.

But, according to NaturalRevolution.org, there is worse news. GMO foods may cause cancer

and other serious health problems.

A British GMO research scientist by the name of Arpad Pusztai discovered that rats fed genetically modified potatoes developed precancerous cell growth, atrophied livers and damaged immune systems. Moreover, Pusztai reported in an address before British Parliament, the symptoms emerged within 10 days of the experiment.

As a result of Pusztai’s research, and further studies, which confirmed his findings, GMO foods are now prohibited throughout Europe.

What about this country? NaturalRevolution. org reports that the FDA has no GMO safety testing requirements, even though most prepared foods on grocery shelves contain genetically modified ingredients.

What to do? The good news is organic foods are not allowed to contain genetically altered ingredients. For cooking, stick with olive, sunflower or safflower oils. Check ingredients for genetically modified bacteria and fungi used in producing enzymes, vitamins, flavorings and processing agents.

For further research, check www.responsibletechnology.org, earthjustice.org and geneticliteracyproject.org. Or, we could just move to Europe.

Rik, Derrik Smits shoot for balanced relationship on and off the court

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As a long-time starting center for the Indiana Pacers, Rik Smits has a wealth of firsthand knowledge to pass along to COVER STORY his son, Derrik, a standout on the Zionsville Community High School boys basketball team. But like most other father/son relationships, Rik soon learned that there is only so much a teenager can learn from his dad before he begins to tune him out a bit.

Rik began serving as a volunteer coach for ZCHS when Derrik joined the varsity. He still serves in that role but has backed off a bit to allow Derrik a chance to thrive on his own.

“Early on, I was a little gung-ho; you could see what he is doing that may not be the best thing,” the 7-foot-4 Rik said. “I’d say, ‘Hey try this or try that.’ Once you find out he doesn’t respond to you anymore, I kind of backed down. If I do say something, it’s usually one thing. I probably threw too much at him all at once.”

The 7-foot Derrik, a senior who has signed to play with Valparaiso University next season, said he knew his father always had his best interests at heart.

“He didn’t think I was having as much fun with it,” Derrik said. “He took a step back to make sure I was having a good time and I can learn on my own. I think it’s helped me in the long run a lot. Obviously he’s helped me more than anyone. I come to him when I have problems.”

Smits watches the game from the stands and sometimes will come down and offer a tip at halftime as Derrik walks off.

“I personally would rather have him up in the stands, because he sees everything and he might get a technical [foul] if he’s on the bench,” Derrik said. “He is really good at watching from a distance.”

Life in Zionsville Rik, who was also born in the Netherlands, ended up on the northwest side of Indianapolis in 1988 after being drafted by the Indiana Pacers.

After many years there and in Hendricks County, he decided to move the family to Zionsville for a variety of reasons, including the top-rate school system.

“I love this side of town,” he said. “It’s close to downtown. It’s close to the airport. It’s not real busy. Most of the [Pacers] players lived on the east side and they always had to deal with traffic. I didn’t want to mess with that.”

He also selected Zionsville to have ample space for his hobby of collecting and racing

ZCHS center Derrik Smits powers toward the basket against Pike on Jan. 27. (Photo by Ann Marie Shambaugh)

motorcycles. Derrik used to frequently ride with his dad, but in recent years they have preferred spending time together on the family’s indoor

basketball court.

“Since he got so serious about basketball, we slowed down on it,” said Rik, who also had to take a break from his motorcycle hobby during the height of his basketball career.

Derrik said he enjoys living in Zionsville, but for different reasons.

“I like the people,” he said. “I grew up with five of these guys [on the ZCHS team]. I’ve been playing nine years with them. The senior group is very close.”

One addition to this year’s team is 6’8” sophomore Cassius Smits-Francisco, Rik’s nephew and Derrik’s cousin who moved from the Netherlands and began living with the family last season.

Derrik said he and his dad occasionally spend time studying game film together, but mostly they just watch basketball games on TV. They watch other 7-foot centers like former Kansas standout Joel Embiid and Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky.

“Half of the time we just watch and enjoy the game,” Derrik said. “The other half if he saw something he made sure to point out something to me and we’d go over it a few times.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Howard Dean, the would-be comedian?

The 2016 presidential race is heating up, and we got a real charge out of the latest shenanigans, this one compliments of Howard Dean, the former failed Democratic presidential candidate and former Vermont governor. Sensing that Scott Walker, the Republican governor of Wisconsin, is gaining steam on his march toward the party’s nomination, Dean took a shot at Walker for not having a college degree.

“The issue is, How well educated is this guy?”

Dean asked. “I worry about people being president of the United States not knowing about the world and not knowing much about science.” Well, then, this borders on hilarity. We’re assuming Dean is just parroting the party line in trashing Walker. What would you expect from the party of elitists? We find it interesting that we never heard Dean worry, back in 2008, that his party’s nominee, Barack Obama, was nothing more than a community organizer and very junior senator. Did Dean believe Obama had learned everything he needed to know about the world from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright? At least Obama has a degree from Harvard, and we’ve seen how that has worked out. Speaking of Harvard, we wonder if Dean ever questioned Teddy Kennedy’s Harvard degree. You just have to love Teddy. Back in 1951, he was forced to withdraw from Harvard for cheating on his Spanish final. He was allowed back in – the check cleared – and eventually earned his degree. Another round, Teddy?

“Si, mis amigos. Mucho gusto!” Unfortunately, we’re starting to see what direction this election season is taking, and it’s not going to be pretty. Walker is an accomplished governor, in our opinion, and if he stays the course – in other words, he doesn’t turn into the typical wimp Republican – he could be a formidable challenger. Let’s concentrate on what all the candidates have actually accomplished. Sorry, Hillary.

Adult supervision

Commentary by Terry Anker

As a kid, tornados never seemed that scary.

The wind would blow, sure; but other than picking up the limbs that would be strewn across the lawn the next day, there seemed to be little impact. I grew up safe in the knowledge that if something bad was going to happen, that someone, an adult, would let me know. I think most of us did. But on a rainy day in April of 1974, I was forced to put this supposition to the test.

Mom was making preparations for a ladies club party that she was hosting in our home that night. And, I’d just finished my homework and was watching a little television before being banished to my bedroom when the grown-ups came over. The unremarkable evening, like many scores of others, spun around us with little note of it.

My Dad came home from the fields a bit early.

It had been raining off and on all day. Such is spring in the Hoosier state. But as his pickup

parked on the gravel in front of the house, he didn’t come in immediately as was his custom.

Instead, I noticed him peering at the sky from the front porch. Distracted by the TV, I didn’t immediately notice him come in the house – although the door was inches away. He was applying all of his considerable strength to close the door. His shouts were barely audible over the din. In an instant I was scooped up and delivered to safety. The next time I was in that room, it was gone.

Yes, tornados are scary and do kill people. But the adults in my life were vigilant, and ready to sacrifice. We, even the dog, survived and built back the house. Today, it makes me wonder are we ready for the wind to blow?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K Don’t tiptoe through life just so you can arrive at death safely.

– Tony Campolo

Here’s a throwback column in celebration of my upcoming eighth anniversary at Current.

Hi, and welcome to Department of Kids and Recreation official Mini-Van Tour. My name is Danielle.

“Excuse me, Danielle what’s that odor . . . ?”

I tell you what, let’s hold all questions ‘til the end of the tour.

“But, it’s like the zoo . . . “ Thank you. Now this mini-van was established in the year 1998 under the direction of Chrysler- Motors. It can easily hold a doublewide stroller, four Size 3 soccer balls, and seven gallons of milk. Purchased in 2001, it had no dents or scratches, no stains or holes in the fabric, and gave off a fresh pine sent.

All air vents were coin-free and the cassette player worked properly at that time.

Before we enter the van, I’d like to point out a few interesting spots on the exterior, beginning with this sine wave-like mark along the entire left-side. That’s no custom detailing! This unique decoration came about after a rather close encounter with a mailbox two months into ownership. Now on the right, you’ll notice a more subtle scratch, though no less handsome. This beauty was the result of poor navigation by a seemingly sober woman who was helping the actual sober driver back out of a bar parking lot at 2 a.m. after a bachelorette party. I call these “accoutrements.”

“Danielle, what’s that white scratch that looks like you hit a house?”

For the last time, please hold all questions until the end. As I manually slide open the two side-doors (you may want to put those gas masks on now) please note how this seat belt has become entangled with the locking mechanism. That’s a new feature, folks!

Under the back bench, take notice of the large pile of wrappers, discarded Kleenex, McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, and yes, it’s your lucky day, people, an honest-to-God sippy cup from 2006. Probably a nice sharp cheddar in there by now. Do I hear someone’s stomach growling? Ha-HA! In between the two front seats, you’ll see the typical collection of water bottles, pacifiers and reject Yu-Gi-Oh cards. But if you’ll peer just to the right, you’ll be in for a real treat. Anyone “hazard” a guess?

“A moldy waffle?”

“A mutilated Barbie?”

Both reasonable answers, but no. That, my friends, is an actual corn dog from the 2003 State Fair. Ah, the memories. They grow up so fast, don’t they? But I digress . . .

At this time, I’d like to conclude our tour.

Y’all have been one of the greatest groups I’ve ever worked with, really. Peace out!

New stadium to unite Indiana Editors, Attending a professional sporting event is an unforgettable experience. For most people, it is the only time they enthusiastically high-five complete strangers. As you can imagine for fans, the proposed “Stadium for Indiana” is certainly more than just building some walls, stands and a field for our Indy Eleven professional soccer team. It is about creating a transformational experience that ignites passion in all people of various ages in our community, city and state.

For the more than 60,000 members who make up the Indiana soccer family, and who play for one of the 140 member clubs or in one of the several Indiana adult leagues, attending an Indy Eleven game or a Men’s or Women’s National Team at the new stadium, will inspire dreams.

While the stadium will be a showcase home for Indy Eleven and other soccer events — including a potential professional women’s team — it will be a multipurpose stadium hosting entertainment and other sports at the professional, collegiate, high school and youth levels.

The proposed stadium would be more than just an investment in our youths and attraction for our adults — it would boost Indiana’s economy.

For Indianapolis, the city is bolstering its position as the capital for sports in the U.S. We’ve come a long way since laying the foundation for the Hoosier Dome. Ersal Ozdemir, the owner of Indy Eleven, is building upon a vision with soccer fans in mind.

If soccer isn’t your thing; if you never attend a match; you’ll never have to pay a dime toward the stadium’s construction. If you don’t go, you won’t pay. The cost for building the stadium at $82 million will be paid for only by those who attend events at the stadium.

I encourage everyone to contact their legislator so lawmakers at the Statehouse realize this stadium is an investment in more than just the Indy Eleven team or soccer. Instead, this is an investment in ensuring a strong future by improving the quality of life for Hoosiers across Indiana.

Dave Guthrie, Executive Director Indiana Soccer Association

Springmill Pet Wellness Clinic opened Jan. 22 at 224 W. 161st St., a second location for the group following its first office at 71st Street and Binford Blvd. in Indianapolis. Dr. Steve Nichols, the primary veterinarian at the new location along with partner Dr. Mike Graves, chose Westfield for its burgeoning growth and proximity to his own home.

“It’s an up-and-coming area with a lot of residential surrounding it,” said Corry Lampe, the veterinary technician running the new clinic, “(and) not a lot of choices for veterinary practices, so it is very convenient for a lot of people.”

The clinic provides traditional medical, surgical and dental care for cats and dogs such as wellness check-ups, vaccinations, spaying and neutering and routine surgeries.

But Nichols is one of few vets who also specializes in alternative therapies like acupuncture, aqua-therapy, oxygenation therapy, laser therapy, the use of Chinese herbs, vitamin supplements and more.

“Our veterinary team is proud to offer the best of conventional veterinary medicine and complementary and alternative therapies,” said Nichols, a Sheridan resident.

“We find that this integrated approach to veterinary care offers the best treatment options for pets and their owners, especially when pets are in pain from chronic illnesses.”

Owners with pets suffering from cancer, skin diseases, arthritis and other afflictions come to Nichols seeking therapies other than the traditional Western route that often prescribes medicines, radiation, chemotherapy and the like.

“Depending on what disease process the animal has going on, there are different alternative ways to treat them or to help them feel better,” Lampe said. “That is our goal, to prolong their life in a quality way.

You don’t find a lot of veterinarians that practice Eastern medicine, so it becomes a really nice niche that we offer to our clients.”

Carmel resident set to reshape Indianapolis Opera

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Tony Award-winning ‘Art’ opens Feb. 26

By Jay Harvey • news@currentzionsville.com

As he prepares his swan song to the stage-directing part of his theater career, Ken Klingenmeier relishes the opportunity to present Yasmina Reza’s play “Art” for a second time — for a different company but on the same theater stage as in 2008.

This time he will emphasize the Tony Award-winning show’s serious side, though its comic aspects are never far from the surface. As the French playwright said about her work in 2000, “Art” is a tragedy “because it is a break-up of a friendship, a rupture between people… My plays have always been described as comedy, but I think they’re tragedy. They are funny tragedy, but they are tragedy. Maybe it’s a new genre.”

“It’s a play about friendship, not art,” Klingenmeier explained. “And the way she details it, it’s effective storytelling.”

Both funny and sad, “Art” is a fine candidate for “talkbacks” after every performance, the director has found. He has arranged for those with the new production because they worked so well in 2008, he says. The conversations naturally settle on what makes someone your friend. There’s less focus on what makes something art, because Reza is mainly concerned to explore the nature of friendship, using art as a vehicle.

Klingenmeier has two-thirds of the cast he worked with in 2008: Daniel Shock returns as Serge, a man who pays a lot for a white-on-white painting he’s quite fond of, and Larry Adams as Marc, his friend, who is deeply skeptical of the purchase, putting a strain on the friendship. The newcomer is Clay Mabbitt as Yvan, a fun-to-be-with, eager-to-please friend of Serge’s who is drawn into the conflict.

Carmel Theatre Company is in its second season at the 70-seat Studio 15 in Carmel’s Arts and Design District. In that location, the troupe succeeds Carmel Repertory Theatre, which has disbanded.

A retired postal worker long active in community theater, Klingenmeier has a stage background stemming from his

college years in California. He is no stranger to professional theater, but when he wanted to focus on his family years ago, he took 13 years off from the stage. Normally, one directing assignment and one acting gig annually worked best for him when he held a job as a letter carrier in Noblesville.

His first stage appearance after moving to the Indianapolis area came with “Shadowlands” at the Edyvean Repertory Theatre (now defunct) about 20 years ago. His local directing involvement began in 1997, directing “Butterflies Are Free” in Westfield.

When he turned 65 a year ago, “I decided to stop striving,” he said. He wanted to step aside from having the same kind of intensity he was used to summoning as an actor, so discontinued working with an agent. Along the way, he prepared to stop directing as well.

“I’m rounding off this part of my life,” he said in an interview. “Directing is a heavy load,” often increased in community theater by several other responsibilities a production’s director needs to take on. Klingenmeier has designed and built sets, for example, and for “Art” designed the poster and is handling publicity.

He is remaining active in performing arts by shifting his skills to directing, producing and writing videos for the Indiana University Dental School. The continuing series focuses on ethical dilemmas in dentistry, and his schedule includes seven more before the series is complete.

This has given Klingenmeier stimulating work he can sink his teeth into, so to speak. But the siren call of live theater may still attract him, he concedes.

“I will be acting more in the future if I read a play that grabs me,” he promised.

What: Carmel Theatre Company production of “Art,” by Yasmina Reza.

When: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, 2:30 p.m. Sundays; Feb. 26-March 15.

Where: Studio 15, 15 First Ave. NE, Carmel.

Tickets: (317) 688-8876; www.carmeltheatrecompany.com.

Although the Indianapolis Opera has been shut down for nearly a year, Kevin Patterson is optimistic about the organization’s future.

The Carmel resident was named the general director of the Indianapolis Opera leadership earlier this month.

“The unique opportunity for Indianapolis Opera is it is essentially starting with a clean slate,” Patterson said. “That gives the company the opportunity to do a lot of things that other opera companies and arts organizations aren’t able to do.”

Kevin Indianapolis Opera shut down for the 2014-15 season with the last performance in March 2014.

“It’s been dark while it been assessing its future,” Patterson said.

“Unlike many arts companies, Indianapolis Opera has no debt and has working capital in the bank for programming in the future. We have a strong base of loyal donors and we are thankful for our foundation funders for hanging with us during this time.”

Patterson, who grew up in Indianapolis, had been the executive director of the Anchorage Opera before leaving that post on July 30 to return with his wife and daughter to Indianapolis area to work as a consultant for non-profit groups. Patterson wanted to return to be closer to relatives.

“When you move to Alaska, people say that’s wonderful we’ll visit you,” said the 46-year-old Patterson, a graduate of Warren Central High School and the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. “In reality no one ever does. It’s like flying to Europe.”

Patterson also has been the general director of the Austin (Texas) Lyric Opera.

Patterson said many of the non-profit art organizations he had been consulting with have severe problems.

“They’re still producing but the business model is just crushing them,” Patterson said. “They have to figure how to get out of the business model without alienating their audiences with something that is radically different.”

Patterson said Indianapolis Opera has the ability to re-work the model in a way that works well for audience and the company. Patterson said shutting down was the best decision the Indianapolis Opera could have made.

“More companies would benefit from stopping and say hold on a minute rather than hurdling forward,” Patterson said. “What gets a lot of art organizations in trouble is they feel beholden to putting on the next season. They get on a train that doesn’t have any brakes and they feel they have to keep going.

“Thanks to the generosity of the Lilly Endowment, a donor base and some successful fundraisers, we were able to stop and say what is our future and what do we want it to be. It is going to pay some pretty significant dividends as we move forward over the next 12 to 18 months.”

Patterson said there will be programming in 2015 and hopes to announce calendar dates and announcements in March. Patterson said the challenge is build new audiences.

The performance and production side shut down, but Patterson said many on the administrative side kept working.

“People who come Indianapolis Opera are going to see performances in new venues,” Patterson said. “They’re going to see new operas they’ve not seen before. They are going to see new performers and directors they’ve not seen before. As opposed to having a traditional season that starts in November and ends in April, we’re going to focus on year-round programming.”

Balance omegas for a healthier you Commentary by Cory Black Omega fatty acids are essential for our health and support everything from healthy joints to brain function and a happy nutrition mood. Both Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s are considered essential and must be obtained from our diets, as our bodies cannot produce them.

Besides supporting smooth skin and healthy joints, Omega 3’s are especially important for heart health and fighting heart disease. They even have the benefit of cancer prevention, such as breast cancer, as they moderate inflammation and inflammation and cancer have been found to go hand in hand.

But did you know that with too many Omega 6 fatty acids we start canceling out the benefit of Omega 3’s? A healthy ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 is around 4 to 1, but our western diets are often in the range of 20 or even 30 to 1. What are some of the reasons many of our diets are skewed?

One reason is the abundant use of corn in

feed for beef and poultry. Unfortunately, what the cow eats is what it passes on and corn has omega ratios as high as 50 to 1. Our diets often include fried and processed food that uses corn oil, safflower oil, non-trans fat margarines. All of these sources raise the ratio of Omega 6’s in our diet and should be limited.

It’s why it’s worth it to switch to grass fed meats, where the livestock gets a more natural food source.

Incorporate more cold water fish such as salmon, which has almost a perfect balance of essential fatty acids.

Make sure we have a daily source of essential fatty acids, which we can get in high amounts from cold water fish or a fish oil supplement. But make sure your diet is not canceling out all of the great benefits.

Darrin’s Coffee looking for a new home

The Clairbella model home in Anson is now open.

(Submitted photo)

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com

Darrin Marion, owner of Darrin’s Coffee Company on Main Street, is in search of a new location. When he asked his landlord to extend his one-year renewable lease to five years, he learned that the space would no longer be availmain street able when the current lease expires in June.

“It’s a business decision,” said Barbara Jennings, speaking on behalf of her mother, who owns the building.

Two of the building’s storefronts open onto First Street with rental space that has been available for more than a year. A new facade and a lot of money were put into the space, but Jennings feels it hasn’t been rented because it doesn’t open onto Main Street. Plans call for the creation of an entrance on Main Street while maintaining the entrances on First Street, providing visibility and accessibility from both sides of the building.

“This is a business decision that makes the space viable,” Jennings said. She’s hopeful that Marion finds an ideal location for his business and that she finds the right person for her mother’s property.

One thing Marion appreciates about his current spot is the sentiment it holds for his family.

“My kids are working here,” he said. “This is as much theirs as it is mine.”

Marion started his business at the Zionsville Farmer’s Market and expanded to his current location in 2013. He would like his future location to have room for more seating and space to continue offering live music several days of the week. With his coffee being sold at Whole Foods in Indiana, he also would like to expand his roasting and recently added K-Cup production.

Ideally Marion would like to stay in downtown Zionsville.

“Main Street, that’s where it’s at,” he said. “I’ve been asking around everywhere.”

But so far the right spot hasn’t appeared.

Marion will continue to sell his coffee at the Farmer’s Market through the summer.

St. George: origins of an icon Commentary by Don Knebel

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. It’s an engaging novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying, “Finally, a horror story void of vampires, werewolves, or zombies!”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Available in paperback at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

www.divittowrites.com

A

The Cappadocia region of central Turkey, home to Christian communities since the second century, includes dozens of churches travel carved inside the area’s unique volcanic rock formations. An eleventh century fresco in one church honored St. George, a favorite son, and originated an iconic image seen in churches around the world.

St. George was apparently born in about 275 A.D. in Lydda, Palestine, where his Cappadocian father had met his mother while serving in the Roman army. George, raised a Christian, became an officer in the military guard of Emperor Diocletian. In 303, Diocletian ordered his officers to repudiate Christianity or face death. When George refused to renounce his beliefs, he was tortured and then beheaded. Emperor Constantine, who legalized Christianity in 312, reportedly ordered a church built in Lydda to honor George, who became a saint in 494. Over time, St. George became associated with a medieval legend in which a maiden-devouring dragon terrorized a pagan village. As the story went, George slew the dragon and the grateful villagers all converted to Christianity.

In the 11th century, numerous Byzantine churches were built within the soft, cone-shaped rocks of Cappadocia. Frescoes, still colorful because of the absence of direct sunlight, decorated many of them. One fresco on a curved wall in the so-called

“Snake Church” (Yılanlı Kilise) honors St. George, whose father was raised nearby. The fresco portrays a haloed and armored George, sitting astride a festooned white horse and gouging a snakelike dragon with his lance. St. George is accompanied in the fresco, perhaps the earliest illustration of the legend, by St. Theodore of Amasea, a less well-known Christian martyr also associated with dragon slaying. Crusaders passing through Cappadocia took the story of St. George and the dragon back to Europe, with the dragon often assumed to represent Satan.

Shaw LifeGuard diverts stains Commentary by David Decker So, you’ve decided to renovate your home and install some new carpeting. There’s a lot to consider in terms of construction, indoors material and functionality. Where should you begin? Well, one of the biggest drawbacks of carpeting is the fact that stains and spills can cause permanent damage to the carpet or to the cushion underneath.

So, if you’re currently sharing a home with pets, children or housemates that are accident prone, a stain-proof carpet option may be worth a look.

Stain-proof carpet is specially made carpet that repels dirt, liquids and other messes (including pet accidents). Generally, this is achieved by treating the carpet with some kind of topical chemical coating. At the Affordable Companies, we are always on the lookout for standout products to spotlight and recommend to our clients.

Recently, Shaw Floors have debuted a new stainproof carpet called LifeGuard, which features an innovative liquid-blocking design. Many stainproof carpets come with a chemical coating that protects the fibers of the carpet from liquids, dirt and other spills. However, those liquids and spills can quickly soak through the carpet where they find a permanent home in the carpet cushion.

Carpets treated with Shaw’s LifeGuard system have a built-in barrier that also shields the backing or cushion as well.

With LifeGuard, even heavy amounts of liquid

LifeGuard Carpeting means heavy amounts of liquid are unable to soak through. (Submitted photo)

are unable to soak through and cause damage to your padding or subfloor. This means you will not have to worry about unwanted odors from mildew or pet accidents permeating through your carpeting. And the added layer of protection in the backing means that it will not wear down like carpets only treated topically.
