Political newcomers file for Dist. 5 Compiled by AnnMarie Shambaugh

Two political newcomers have filed to run for town council in Dist. 5, an area located in the heart of Zionsville. The Dist. 5 position is being Election vacated by current council president Steve Mundy, who has decided not to run again so he can spend more time with his family and travel.

Joshua Garrett

Age: 38 Years in Zionsville: 8 How did you end up in Zionsville?

My wife and I both worked in Zionsville and loved the feel for Garrett the town. Talking with people who already lived here made the decision easy.

Why do you want to run for elected office? I was told I would get a special siren for my car, turns out that’s not true. Kidding. I wanted to give back to a community that’s given me so much by using my experience as a business owner to build on the foundation implemented by the current town council.

What is your previous political experience?

Have you run for or held an elected office before? This is my first foray into politics.

What are your top priorities if elected? Smart growth. I’d like to create a world-class technology infrastructure starting with a high-speed fiber network built for residents and businesses (e.g. Google Fiber).

I also want to preserve the values and qualities that make Zionsville special.

What are your qualifications to run for this office? I helped found and build Zionsville’s largest private employer (MOBI). I have learned many things in those years about creating and implementing a vision that can be applied towards Zionsville.

What is your favorite thing about Zionsville?

The downtown area. There is no other place in Central Indiana where you can shop so many unique and local stores and restaurants. I have also met some of my best friends by living in Zionsville.

What area do you think is Zionsville’s greatest need for improvement? I want Zionsville to be considered by entrepreneurs starting new businesses in Central Indiana. ZWorks is a great first step in creating an environment to incubate new ideas.

Favorite local restaurant: Noah Grant’s / Friendly Tavern Favorite movie: North by Northwest Favorite quote or motto: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Family: Wife of 10 years, three children (8, 6 and 3) Pets: None Favorite vacation: Disney World with our children Something you’d like readers to know about you: I am an open book and believe in transparency.

There should be no surprises with my positions and tend to take a moderate approach to most situations, interjecting humor if appropriate.

Something most people don’t know about you: I recently signed up to be an Uber driver. They are a new customer of MOBI and I wanted to experience their systems and processes for new drivers.

I’ve promised my wife this won’t be a second career.

Bret Brewer

Age: 43 Years in Zionsville: 12 How did you end up in Zionsville? When we first got married we rented on Oak Street and I worked as a bookkeeper at the loBrewer cal Re/Max. We then built our first house in the Weston’s and came up back to Zionsville after we had Logan and Jessica.

Why do you want to run for elected office? I live and work on Main Street. I’ve been involved with the schools and peripherally in town issues. I don’t have big political aspirations, but when I thought about how I could help this town the idea of being on town council seemed like the best way to do that.

Friends have encouraged me to run, and it seems like there’s a need for someone on town council who really understands the financial side of things.

What is your previous political experience?

I’ve helped a few polling booths but haven’t run for political office before.

Have you run for or held an elected office before? Professionally I’ve held several offices with the American Society of Appraisers including state director, treasurer and president. In the community I was elected treasurer of Lincolnwood Neighborhood Association, Chairperson of Timberwood Neighborhood Association and Treasurer of the Eagle Elementary PTO for two years. Through these offices I’ve learned to analyze situations, communicate and work with others. My objective is to make sure that the end result is fair for everyone.

What are your top priorities if elected? I am currently looking over town budgets and doing research. I would like to fund the schools AND not have a referendum, this seems to be one of the largest issues that divides Zionsville and I would like it to end.

What are your qualifications to run for this office? As one of five people in the nation and the only one in Indiana to have all of the designations on valuing businesses, my background should provide the town with the insight of budgeting and forecasting while avoiding unnecessary spending.

What is your favorite thing about Zionsville?

Hearing amazing stories of how giving the residents are!

What area do you think is Zionsville’s greatest need for improvement? The entrance to Downtown Zionsville. It also needs a lot of forethought to do it right.

Favorite local restaurant: Salty Cowboy Favorite movie: Red (this month, it changes all the time) Favorite quote or motto: Blue Horse Shoe Loves Anacot Steel Family: Melissa (wife of 20 years), Jessica 13 and Logan 10 Pets: Sophie (German shepard that loves to play ball with people), Almanzo and Laura (cats) Favorite vacation: Working on some special project around the house away from the computer Something you’d like readers to know about you: I ran my first marathon last year and my son pulled me in over the last 3.5 miles.

Something most people don’t know about you: I skipped second grade.

Council backs ZPC vote

Back in the day

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

What happened: The council voted, 4-1, to uphold the Zionsville Planning Commission’s recommendation to not allow a zoning change for a proposed senior living facility.

What this means: After dozens of residents expressed concern about a rezoning request that would pave the way for a senior living campus near residential neighborhoods, the ZPC last month voted against the proposal. The town council – except for councilor Candace Ulmer – agreed with their decision.

What’s next: The town council had the final say on the matter, meaning that developer CarDon will not be building its proposed facility near Oak Street and Cooper Road.

What happened: The council unanimously voted to amend the Zionsville Code of Ordinances to address animal control issues in the urban service district.

What this means: The amendment limits the number of chickens people can keep in their yards to 10, prohibits roosters and requires that all animals be contained on the owner’s property.

What’s next: Town officials don’t expect to be actively policing for violations of the ordinance, but they will have set standards to rely on if a complaint is reported.

What happened: The council approved a resolution appropriating $100,600 from the Local Roads and Streets fund for two pathway projects.

The interurban station, on the northeast corner of Main and Cedar streets, was built in 1904. It was constructed of huge cement blocks (32 inches long, 100 pounds) made locally. (Submitted photo courtesy of the Sullivan Museum)

What’s next: Town officials expect to have construction estimates for the Bloor Lane pathway sometime this summer.

It’s unclear when construction estimates will be ready for the CR 700 East pathway.

What this means: The council approved $45,000 for engineering of the future Bloor Lane pathway, which will run along the north side of Bloor Lane and connect the existing pathway along the south side of ZCHS over to the sidewalk system along the west side of Mulberry Street. It approved $55,600 for right-of-way acquisition and engineering for a future pathway along CR 700 East, which will extend the existing pathway north to ZWMS and south to the Royal Run neighborhood.

Dispatches Service award – Victoria Martine, a sophomore student at Zionsville Community High School, has been honored for her exemplary volunteer service with a President’s Volunteer Service Award.

What happened: The council approved a resolution supporting state action on agricultural land re-assessment.

What this means: Many rural property owners have seen their property taxes skyrocket thanks to changes in how the county assesses agricultural land. The resolution supports legislation currently in the Statehouse that would help standardize and clarify the process of assessing rural land.

Start

What’s next: State Rep. Donna Schaibley attended the meeting to give an update on the legislation, which she supports. She will take the resolution back to the Statehouse and continue to push for passage of the bill.

Business breakfast – Presented by the Chamber of Commerce, it will be held from 8 to 9 a.m. March 17 at Brick Street Inn, 175 S. Main St. The Treasury Management Group of The National Bank of Indianapolis will discuss services to manage collecting, disbursing and reporting of funds. and will address technology and information security protection. This event is free to members. Please RSVP at www.zionsvillechamber.org.

Mulch sale – The Zionsville Middle Schools will conduct their annual mulch sale again this spring and all proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the Athletic Departments at Zionsville Middle and Zionsville West Middle Schools.

Mystery swirls at Indy 500

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Every year Indianapolis grabs the national spotlight one Sunday in May for “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Zionsville books author Brett Wiscons decided to capture the excitement and use it as the setting for his most recent book, “Turn Three.”

“I thought it would be cool to base it around the Indy 500 since there’s such a unique history around that time of year,” said Wiscons, 34.

“Turn Three,” the third release in the Bear Whitman Wiscons detective series, released March 2. The 136-page mystery tells the tale of a racecar driver who suffers a fatal crash during a practice run for the Indy 500, and detective Bear Whitman is on the case to determine if the wreck was a true accident.

The lead character is loosely based on Wiscons’ father, who passed away in 2011. Although his dad wasn’t a professional detective, Wiscons describes him as a “pretty clever guy.”

“I wasn’t ready to let him go,” he said. “[The books were] a way for me to keep him around or at least keep his memory alive.”

Wiscons was born in Chicago but moved to Plymouth, Ind., as a young child. He attended

Marian University and lived in a couple different Indianapolis neighborhoods before moving to Zionsville at the suggestion of his wife.

“Once we got married a couple years ago, she thought it would be cool to try [Zionsville],” he said. “We love it so far.”

“Turn Three” is available on When he’s not Amazon.com or BrettWiscons. writing, Wiscons com. (Submitted photo) enjoys writing and performing original music, which also reflects his love of the Hoosier state.

He’s planning to release an EP sometime this year and hopes to release another book next year.

Ultimately, he’d love to take Bear Whitman to the big screen, which he believes would be a smooth transition based on his script-like writing style.

“It’s only going to take a couple hours to read, kind of like you’re watching a movie” Wiscons said. “My goal with these books is to give people an escape.”

If you’ve read my columns you know I love names. I like pretty names, strange names, interesting names. You name it. neighbors Today I’d like to introduce you to a married couple, a mechanic and a cashier with memorable names.

The couple is the Browns, owners of M&M Auto Service on Deandra Drive. I’d known Marvin Brown for years through the car business but couldn’t remember his wife’s name.

“It’s easy to remember,” he said. “I’m Marvin, and she’s Gaye. Together we are Marvin Gaye.”

They met because Gaye needed her car repaired. She got a fixed car, a great deal and a groom. They were married 27 years ago at Zionsville Town Hall by then clerk-treasurer Bev Harves. Ralph London, who owned the Friendly Tavern, provided free champagne at their reception.

Gaye says she “didn’t even know until we already had plans to marry that I was 12 years older than he was. I guess I was a cougar before it was popular.”

Cougar or not, it worked.

••• The mechanic is Mike Hood. He’s spent a lot of years under one hood or another. I asked him if he thought he’d have been a mechanic if his name hadn’t been Hood.

“I don’t think that had anything to do with it,” he said.

The reason he got interested Hood in mechanics was pure necessity. “We had five boys in the family,” said Mike, adding that there wasn’t a lot of money.

“Buying me a car was not an option,” he says.

If he wanted a car it had to be a “fixer-upper.”

And he had to do the fixing up.

His first car was a Pinto. Maybe that was a

portent of things to come. Mike is a Ford Certified Master Technician and has driven to Pearson Ford from Rushville five days a week for 30 years (58 miles each way).

••• Priti Thakkar is the cashier, and she works at Walgreen’s in Zionsville. Her name is pronounced “Pretty,” which makes her a pretty Priti.

She and her husband, Jignosh, are from India, but both have become American citizens.

“I remember the date,” she said, “July 1 at the Ben Harrison Thakkar Home.”

Her two-year-old daughter is named Prachi.

Together they are Priti and Prachi.

Priti says she and her husband moved to Zionsville “to provide a good education for our daughter.” They live in Royal Run.

Zionsville Christian Church is hoping to spur education and discussion about a variety of topics through a new series called “A religion Christian’s Perspective,” which features a different speaker on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

The free lectures are held in the Zionsville Town Hall community room. After the 45-minute presentation, attendees will have the chance to discuss what they heard.

“They’ll go away having heard a different voice on a topic that’s important and come back next month and listen to something different,” said David Ruffer, one of the organizers of the series.

Ruffer founded the series along with Dr. Richard Gunderman and Rev. Mark Condrey, deciding over coffee to get together a group of Christians and start a conversation. Gunderman, a chancel-

“People can come and listen and say what they want to say, then come back next month and listen to something different.”

Future topics may include the environment, professional and social codes of conduct, the church as a whole, end of life issues and a new look at missions.

Daredevil Bill Shirk retires after 50 years in the radio business

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Bill Shirk has been buried alive 10 times, run with the bulls in a straitjacket in Pamplona, stood in front of a locomotive going 40 mph before dropping down between the cover story tracks and hung upside down from a helicopter in a straitjacket.

The longtime Zionsville resident rose to become one of the top escape artists in the nation. However, he never had a favorite stunt – or one he enjoyed performng.

“I never liked doing any of them,” he said. “If you ask me if I could go back and do it again, the answer would be no. I value life too much.”

Shirk said he never did it for the rush. He did it for his real love, broadcasting, and the attention it brought his numerous radio stations and the TV station he owned.

“I noticed these stunts seem to get a lot of newspaper and television and international coverage so there might be something to it,” he said.

Shirk retired from his 50-year broadcasting career with his final radio broadcast on 91.1 RadioMom (WIRE) in Lebanon on Feb. 28.

The following day the sale of Shirk’s RadioMom to Community Radio Partners became official.

“I’ve tried to retire five times and it didn’t work. But this time I think I’m ready, I really do,” said Shirk, who turns 70 in May. Shirk, who uses his middle name (mother’s maiden name) as his broadcasting surname, started his radio career in 1965 when his parents, Bob and Betty Poorman, bought WERK in Muncie. At one point, Shirk put then-Ball State student David Letterman on the air.

In 1972, Shirk left Muncie to become the general manager and disc jockey at WXLW (950 AM) in Indianapolis.

“I’ve bought and sold about 20 radio stations in my lifetime,” Shirk said. “I’ve been a sales man. I’ve been a janitor, a musical director and disc jockey. The thing I love most is programming a station, making it the format you want.”

Shirk began his escape escapades in June 1976. A charity circus promoter came to Shirk with an idea to promote a daredevil stunt on his radio show, then chicken out and have someone else do the stunt. The stunt called for escaping from a straitjacket while hanging from a crane.

“If I said I was going to do something on radio, I’ve always done

never communicated with me.”

In 1983, Shirk played a fictionalized version of himself in “The Escapist.” Shirk wrote, acted in and produced the movie. Shirk later made a documentary called “Modern Day Houdini.” That’s also the title of a book he co-authored with Current columnist Dick Wolfsie in 2003. Shirk was not doing many stunts then but decided to do one to promote the book signing.

“So he hung from the West Pavilion (at the Indiana State Fairgrounds) in a straitjacket with a python around his neck,” Wolfsie said. “Apparently the python was really strangling him. Everyone at first thought he was being dramatic. But he had a sign to indicate he was not kidding around and he was in trouble. Everyone in his entourage came to pry the python loose. That was my only firsthand experience with his actual stunts. He is an amazing person.”

Shirk also performed numerous stunts as part of legendary Indianapolis pro wrestler Dick the Bruiser’s act.

“My most successful stunt was my biggest failure,” Shirk said.

In 1992, Shirk was handcuffed and chained and put in a Plexiglas coffin and buried in a six-foot grave. Seven tons of dirt was dumped, followed by cement.

“A guy had done the stunt two years before me and died,” Shirk said. “It caved in on me, too. But the operator dug me up and I survived. That stunt was played on every network, every action station in the world. I didn’t complete the stunt, but I didn’t die, thank you.”

it,” Shirk said. “I secretly learned how to get out of a straitjacket. I went to the crane operator and gave him 50 bucks to take me up and not bring me down until I yell Houdini.”

Shirk got out of the straitjacket in about a minute-and-a-half MEET BILL SHIRK and the crowd went crazy.

2-Story Great Room

More than 150 attend GNO

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com

Fun, food and fundraising were among the top priorities Feb. 27 at the second annual Girls’ Night Out benefiting the Zifundraiser onsville Education Foundation. While the final amount is still being tallied, ZEF executive director Tracy Phillips said that the organization met its expectations in both fundraising and awareness.

“We hope our GNO guests tell their friends about our grants for education and the upcoming ZEF 20th anniversary next school year,” she said.

The more than 150 women in attendance were asked to wear a piece of jewelry that has special meaning to them and share that story with the ZEF committee. Attendees voted Mary

Beth Searles’ story as the Gem of the Night, and Searles received a necklace from Robert Goodman Jewelers.

The most popular attractions were The Heist and Take a Spin – both opportunities to receive either a grab bag or surprise envelope for $20.

Some were lucky enough to win gift cards as high as $50, while others were surprised to find jewelry stashed inside of the purses and clutches they won.

This was the fourth time ZEF has used auction technology QTego, utilizing patrons’ mobile phones throughout the evening to bid by cell phone, pay for The Heist and Take a Spin, vote for the Gem of the Night, and receive reminders by text throughout the evening.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Participation is a responsibility We recently met with a city council member up for re-election in May. His name and municipality of service are not germane to this discussion. What does matter, though, is the topic of voter participation, or, perhaps, voter apathy. He allows that the failure to exercise the right and responsibility to cast votes can be traced to the home. We’re in agreement. Back in the day, it was something of a rite of passage to gain a voter’s registration card. Back then, voting was way less about politics than it was about having your voice heard. We suspect, as did the visiting council member, that the issue isn’t even a blip on most families’ radar screens – and that’s a shame. Prior to each election, primary or general, we always include a reminder to get out and vote. Looking at voter-participation numbers, we’ve concluded the message was unimportant to many. We asked our visitor about immersion - in community; in issues; in, yes, politics. The councilor’s belief is the same as ours: Most among us would prefer to sit on the sidelines than play the game, as it were. Most all want a solution, but fewer seem to be willing to roll up their sleeves and become a part of it. Former Congressman Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.) adroitly sums this up in a recent op-ed, in which he writes, “You can’t study every issue, but you can pick one and dig in, whether it’s a big problem like climate change or a smaller one, such as how to get food delivered to shut-ins in your community.” The point is, voting, like getting involved in endeavors that move the community forward, has to be a conscious decision.

Writes Hamilton, “Our Constitution’s preamble begins, ‘We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union’... . At heart, that’s what getting involved means …”.

Are you willing to help make it better? We are and we believe we do. We hope you’ll join us.

Amateur night

Commentary by Terry Anker

New Year’s Eve is one of those. St. Patrick’s Day is too. These are counted among the days when good, common, folk are encouraged and even expected to behave irresponsibly. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m all for having a good time. And occasionally, the fun includes an adult beverage or two. But what’s the pleasure of racing headfirst into the drunk tank?

We live in an age of excess. Government is getting bigger. Everything on the Kardashians is getting bigger. TV’s are getting bigger. Supersize seems to be the new medium. More. Bigger.

Faster. Is it human nature to covet exceeding last year’s accomplishments? Competition and continuous improvement are virtuous endeavors.

It is good to seek to enhance and upgrade routinely. But do we sometimes mistake growth for advancement? When is our desire for extra an excess?

Collectively, we eat too much and the data shows it. Portion sizes have bloated to unprecedented levels. Some would argue that we con-

sume too much of everything – food, fuel, natural resources, health care, to name a few. We drive ourselves to ever out-do what came before. It wasn’t that long ago that a 30-inch television was an amazing luxury. Now, it is disposable.

And, life marches on.

What is the cost of our need for more? Certainly, Americans struggle to save money. Our savings rates, compared to consumption, are abysmal. Also, our sports are now “extreme” and our parties epic. Likewise our waistlines are buckling under the long-term effect. With March returns St. Patrick’s Day and its celebration often includes a good deal of beer, Jameson’s and jocularity. But in a culture where more is more, can we hope to survive the party in tact? If amateur drinkers are the most dangerous, aren’t we better off to stay home on amateur night?

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Akron, Ohio posting signs at swimming pools is illegal.

If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.

– John Irving

You won’t believe what I did over the weekend. My four sisters and I auditioned for the Family Feud! The Family Feud! And not to boast, but I really believe we have a shot at making it on to the show. Seriously, by summer, I could be blowing my fifth of a hundred grand on a Caribbean cruise!

My youngest sister Emily has always wanted to be on the Feud, and when she saw they were coming to Columbus, Ohio, my sister Christina’s hometown, she convinced the rest of us to join her. My twin flew in from L.A., another sister came from Louisville, and Em drove over from Chicago. Five gorgeous gingers, all closet actresses? Puh-lease. How could we not make it?

The actual audition consisted of a mock game between us and another family in front of two hundred other Feud hopefuls. We made a grand entrance from the back of the Radisson’s ballroom, high-fiving strangers and throwing admittedly-crooked cartwheels. Emily introduced us and then we got down to business. First question? “Name something people like to eat … ” DING! Emily rang in and shouted “French fries!” Rachel, our host, yelled back “Eeeehhh!” She hadn’t finished. “Name something people like to eat in slices.” Fortunately our opponents responded with “potatoes,” which made no sense whatsoever. We played.

Christina said “pizza,” the number one answer on the board, and my third sister got buzzed for “watermelon” although we all felt it was a “Good answer!” My twin said “oranges” (correct) and then I drew a complete blank.

Stalling, I said “Rachel. I. Am. Going. To. Go. With…Pie!” Shoo! And of course I pronounced it “pah” to emphasize my southern roots. Back to Emily, who said “apples,” and then to Christina who immediately dropped to the floor and did the worm. THE WORM. Right there, on camera.

I’m sure that’s why the casting director invited us for a private interview. That and the fact that we were complete spazzes. I nearly threw a hip jumping up and down and could barely speak afterwards from all the screaming. I hope to God I never see that footage!

Upstairs, they asked for interesting facts about ourselves. Christina obviously performed the worm again (She has four kids!); my twin told of her appearance in the worst-rated Super Bowl commercial of all times (1998, Coke, Redheads, Google it); and I explained how I once sucked an eyeball from a rabbit’s skull during Air Force survival training. Pure TV gold, right?

We’ll find out in two weeks if we’ll be heading to Atlanta to tape. And rest assured, I’ll detail every minute of my rise to stardom on the Feud. Survey says, “Peace out!”

Sounds of violence Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The disorder is called misophonia. Sounds like what you feel when you can’t find your cellular device. So what is it? Well, if you humor have misophonia, you’re not going to like the sound of this. Actually, you won’t like the sound of almost anything.

The malady is characterized by an aversion and sometimes a violent response to certain everyday sounds.

At the misophonia website, many people expressed great relief at discovering that others had this problem, suggesting they were not crazy. That’s like watching a documentary about a woman who eats sawdust like you do and then saying: “See, I’m not so loony, after all.” One man said that he suffered from the disorder way before he knew there was a name for it. This is not so unusual. My mother told me that as an infant I had catastrophic intestinal issues, but I don’t think I ever heard the word diarrhea until I was in the fourth grade.

One woman hated the sound of heavy breathing and when she heard it, she immediately left the room. She signed her post as Chastity, which makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

Another lady said she could not stand the sound of her own chewing. Don’t tell the whole world about this, Madam. Just keep your mouth shut.

The sound of people eating popcorn or crunching on apples drives a lot of people bonkers. One farmer said, and I swear I’m not making this up, that when her husband eats an apple, she has to cover her ears, “but listening to my horse chomp on an apple doesn’t bother me at all.” A newlywed said her husband’s eating disgusts her and she’s thinking of leaving him. What? She’s just now discovering this? Waiting until marriage for intimacy is old-fashioned enough, but waiting for your first meal? What cult is that?

The sounds made by ice cream eaters are also annoying to some people. What with the lip-smacking and the spoon hitting the bottom of the bowl, one woman confessed she was thinking about doing away with her husband, but instead she told him he was lactose intolerant. A senior citizen said when his wife gulps soup, he wants to ring her neck. By the way, ringing is a sound most people hate.

Check out the website Misophonia.com. Are these real people with legitimate concerns? Who knows? Maybe it’s all just hearsay.

Debunking the dangers of poinsettias and other myths Commentary by Ward Degler At the end of each year the editors of the British Medical Journal gather together, presumably at a pub, and review some of Plain talk the whacky things they discovered during the year. A few years ago they focused on debunking a number of hitherto sacred myths.

Poinsettias, long thought to be toxic to people and pets, apparently pose little if any danger to either. The editors took a look at a study done by Doctors Rachel Vreeman and Aaron Carroll of the Indiana University School of Medicine and concluded the red and white Christmas foliage was safe to be around and no danger even if eaten.

The doctors collected 900 poison center reports of Poinsettia exposure and found nothing but mild allergic reactions from exposure to the plants. In most cases, they said, there were no symptoms at all. Moreover, pets who for some reason or another consumed the foliage showed no ill effects.

The doctors also took a hard look at the belief that suicides peak during the winter months.

Apparently, the data on suicides in the United States during the past 35 years showed just the opposite. Suicides were highest during the summer and lowest during the winter.

Other myths that fell apart on closer inspection included the idea that kids get a buzz when

DESIGN & REMODELING SEMINARS

they eat sugar, that not wearing a hat causes the loss of body heat and eating at night packs on the pounds. The Brits found a number of studies that showed children who consumed large quantities of sugar were no more hyperactive than those who did not. Tell yourself that the next time the kids are bouncing off the walls after eating an entire bag of M&Ms. I can’t comment on the no-hat-loss-of-body heat idea. I freeze anytime the temperature drops below 70 whether I’m wearing a hat or not.

Sadly, the researchers are just plain wrong about eating at night not causing weight gain.

I eat very little at night and I still gain. After all, how many calories can there be in a simple bag of popcorn, a bowl of ice cream, a bag of chips, a few cashews and a handful of chocolates?

The Brits also concluded there is no surefire cure for a hangover. A finding no doubt gleaned from their long hours of research at the local pub debunking myths.

As for me, I will still keep the dog away from the poinsettias. They just don’t look right after they’ve been chewed.

School musicals to take the stage

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Musical theater productions are coming to both Zionsville middle schools March 13 and 14, with Zionsville West Middle Theater School students performing Suessical Jr. and Zionsville Middle School featuring Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr. Suessical Jr. is shorter version of the Broadway show Suessical the Musical but still includes many musical mash-ups of Dr. Suess stories, such as Horton Hears a Who and The Cat in the Hat. Lynne Manning, ZWMS Drama School Director, feels that the musical will appeal to all ages and has wonderful messages for kids.

“I like the fact that Dr. Suess is inspirational,” Manning said. “It’s about honoring your commitments, doing your best and being a good friend.”

A different type of performance, Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr. is a great show for middle school students, according to co-director Courtney Shelbourne.

“It deals with growing up, fitting in and learning how a materialistic attitude can cloud what is most important,” Shelbourne said.

The show includes plenty of song and dance numbers, and the performance will showcase the abilities of a large cast of talented middle school students, Shelbourne said. The version is a bit shorter than the original Broadway production with some songs removed from the score, and some dialogue and themes have been al-

tered for a younger audience.

“ZMS prides itself in putting on a completely student-run show,” Shelbourne said. “This is a great opportunity for students to practice leadership, teamwork and acquire skills in adapting under pressure.”

Tickets and showtimes • Suessical Jr. performances are at 7 p.m. Tickets are available through the door to West Hall at Zionsville West Middle School. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for students and $25 for families.

• Thoroughly Modern Millie, Jr. performances are at 7 p.m. March 13 and at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

March 14. Tickets are available at the door before the performance and are $5 for adults and $3 for children or students.

Baked apples a breeze with this recipe

Fresh, Radiant, and Clear...Summer Ready Skin!

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

If your dream, like mine, is to learn how to bake, “Cook’s Illustrated Baking Book” can help make that wish come true. Every recipe that I have tried has been irresistible and given me the confidence to say: I can bake! Baked apples are usually loaded with butter, have a mushy texture or a dull filling, but you will find this recipe a heavenly treat.

Note: If you don’t have an oven safe skillet, transfer the browned apples to a baking dish.

BAKED APPLES Ingredients: 7 large Granny Smith apples (best for this dessert), 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, 1/3 cup dried cranberries, chopped coarse, 1/3 cup pecans, toasted and chopped coarse. 1/4 cup packed brown sugar. 3 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats. 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Pinch salt. 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple cider Directions: Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Peel, core and dice one apple into 1/4 -inches.

Combine diced apple, 5 tablespoons butter, cranberries, pecans, sugar, oats, orange zest, cinnamon and salt in bowl; set aside. Shave thin slice off bottom of remaining 6 apples. Cut top 1/2 inch off stem

end of apples and reserve. Peel apples and use a small measuring spoon to remove 1 1/2-inchdiameter core, but don’t cut all the way through the bottom. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in 12-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add apples, stem side down, and cook, about three minutes. Flip apples, reduce heat to low, and spoon filling inside, mounding excess filling over cavities; top with reserved apple caps. Add maple syrup and 1/3 cup cider to skillet. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until skewer inserted into apples meets little resistance, 35 to 40 minutes, basting frequently with maple syrup mixture in pan. Transfer apples to plates. Stir up two tablespoons of remaining cider into sauce in skillet to adjust consistency.

Pour sauce over apples and serve.

Try this Irish favorite for St. Patricks Day Compiled by Melissa Hicks Beer Braised Irish Stew and Colcannon

Ingredients: For Irish Stew: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 cup coarsely chopped onion, 1 cup coarsely chopped carrot, 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.

For Colcannon: 3 slices bacon, 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, 2 cups thinly sliced cabbage, 1/4 cup warmed milk, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley.

Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until very hot, and brown the meat in 2 batches, stirring to brown the cubes on all sides. Return all the meat to the Dutch oven, sprinkle with flour and stir lightly to coat the meat with flour. Stir in onion, carrots, dark beer, bay leaves, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cover. Place the Dutch oven into the preheated oven, and cook for 45 minutes; uncover, stir the stew, and cook until the beef is very tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 45 more minutes. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined

Irish Stew plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside. About 30 minutes before the stew is ready, make the colcannon: Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Place the cabbage into a microwave-safe bowl, and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on High for about 2 1/2 minutes; uncover (watch out for steam) and stir the cabbage. Cover and microwave for about 2 1/2 more minutes, until the cabbage is slightly tender but not mushy. Drain excess liquid, and set the cabbage aside, covered. Place the potatoes into a large bowl, and add milk, butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Beat the potatoes with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Stir in the cabbage, crumbled bacon and parsley until well combined. To serve, place a scoop of colcannon onto a plate, make it hollow and fill with braised beef stew. Original recipe makes eight servings.

The cobra pose can remind children to pause before reacting. (Photo by Anne Johnson)

Cobras teach the power of staying calm Commentary by Anne Johnson Namaste! My name is Anne, and I teach kids and tots at Simply Yoga in Zionsville. Yoga helps us explore our strong bodies and use Yoga the power of our amazing breath.

This month, I’d like to introduce you to the cobra pose.

The cobra is a dangerous snake because of its venom. When provoked, the cobra will send out a warning by spreading its neck into a wide hood and hissing, telling those nearby to beware.

Cobras rarely bite without giving a warning first.

Though they’re upset, they remain calm inside.

Do you want to become a cobra? Lie on your belly with hands under your shoulders, flat on the floor. Your legs stretch behind you like a tail.

Press your hands down into the floor and inhale to lift your head, neck and chest. Hiss as you

lower back down to the floor, breathing out. Inhale again to float your chest, curling your cobra body up higher than before. For a challenge try touching your toes to the back of your head.

To become a cobra we do a backbend. Cobra opens our chest, lengthens our belly and gives us an energy boost. It can even help with tummy aches! Cobras remind us to pause before we react. It’s ok to feel upset or frustrated and spread out our “hoods” in warning. But take a deep breath, and then you might realize there is no need to bite.

Anne Johnson teaches kids, tots, expectant and new mothers yoga at Simply Yoga in Zionsville. As a 200 RYT registered yoga teacher and former engineer, she enjoys writing and sharing “adult ideas” in a way that makes yoga fitness accessible to children.

IT’S AN EMERGENCY ROOM. NOT A WAITING ROOM. Express Care ER If pain and discomfort are getting in your way, the emergency physicians at Community Westview Hospital can help. Each of our ER physicians has at least 10 years of experience in providing emergency care.

Taking grammar to heart

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, has everyone totally forgot what they learned in grade school about ‘bring’ and ‘take?’ I Grammar Guy have heard many examples lately from college educated(?) folks misusing these words. Here’s an example: ‘I have to get up at 5:00 to bring Mom and Dad to the airport. Why am I still up?’ (from a Facebook post) Obviously to me it should be ‘take’ since the writer is not currently living at the airport. Should I just give up on it?” – (Bernie Augenstein, Greenwood) Answer: Never give up, Bernie! Never surrender!

I share your pain on this one. The rule is really quite simple – and it’s all about you!

The Oxford Dictionaries boil it down to this: “The essential difference between these two words is that ‘bring’ implies movement toward someone or something … whereas ‘take’ implies movement away from someone or something.”

Given your example above, “take” is clearly

the correct word. But let’s flip it on its head to see how the point of reference of the speaker changes things.

If our speaker is, in fact, already at the airport, they might say something like, “Did you bring snacks for the flight?” or “I brought headsets for all of us.” However if the speaker is still at home, the verb changes: “Mom and Dad already took the snacks with them.” “Are we all taking carryons?” (Side note: Several airlines appear to be spelling “carry-on” as “carryon.” Don’t do that.)

Just remember the two parts to the equation: Where you are and where the person or thing is going in relation to you. Things are “brought” to you and “taken” away from you – despite the Gershwins’ lovely 1937 song claiming the contrary.

Magnificent marble sculptures from the Parthenon are among the most popular of the eight million items in London’s British Travel Museum. These so-called “Elgin Marbles” are also the museum’s most controversial items, with persistent claims they were plundered from Greece.

Pericles built the Parthenon atop the Athens Acropolis in the fifth century B.C. to house a colossal statue of the goddess Athena. The colonnaded building, visible throughout the city, was the epitome of classic Greek architecture, adorned inside and out with exquisitely carved marble figures and friezes. As Athens later fell to different empires, the Parthenon was converted to a church and then a mosque and finally an ammunition dump. In 1687, gunpowder stored by the Ottomans exploded during a battle with the Venetians, severely damaging the Parthenon. The artwork was strewn amid the rubble.

In 1798, Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin, became British ambassador to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, then controlling Athens.

Initially desiring only to make casts of the art he found in the Parthenon ruins, he later decided to take it home. Whether he wanted the pieces for his Scottish estate or to prevent further damage

is still disputed. Whatever his motive, he obtained a controversial document from the Sultan purportedly giving him permission to remove “stones” from the Acropolis. Interpreting the document to permit the removal of anything made of stone, Lord Elgin personally spent 70,000 pounds to remove and ship to England about half of all the artwork of the Parthenon, including 17 pediment statues, 15 exterior panels called “metopes” depicting mythical battles, and 250 feet of the frieze honoring the Olympian gods that originally extended around the interior. Apparently needing money, he sold the items to the British government in 1816 for 35,000 pounds. Since the 1850s, the word “Elginism” has been used to describe cultural vandalism.

The Elgin Marbles are now displayed in the British Museum’s Duveen Gallery, a large room built especially for them. The Greek government has repeatedly demanded their return as stolen art, a claim the British government has rejected.

In 2014, UNESCO offered to mediate the dispute.

Commentary by David Decker

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.

It’s time to look beyond the ceiling fan. When it comes to lighting up the room via overhead lights, many homeowners choose standard, boring and often ineffective ceiling indoors fixtures. This is a real missed opportunity in terms of design.

Ceiling light fixtures are key decorative elements that many homeowners tend to gloss over when building or remodeling a space. Not only do they properly illuminate the room, but carefully chosen lighting fixtures can also tie together various design elements together.

The first step in choosing an effective ceiling light is analyzing the specific lighting needs of the room. Kitchens often require very bright lighting to make cooking and entertaining easier.

Bedrooms may require dimmer lights to create a relaxing, comforting atmosphere. You’ll also need to take into account the amount of natural lighting that’s already present. Rooms without a great deal of natural lighting may require brighter lights to compensate.

After you’ve figured out the logistics of the room, the fun of selecting a ceiling fixture design can start. Select a fixture that complements the overall décor of the room and your home in general. Style, shape, color and size all play an important role in creating a fixture’s look, so pay attention to all of these elements. Popular ceiling fixture options include: Chandelier: Make an elegant, showy state-

ment in your room by hanging a chandelier. Ideally, the bottom of the chandelier should hang at least 7 feet above the floor, so people can walk comfortably beneath it. If hung over a table or piece of furniture, the fixture should hang 27 to 30 inches above (if you are working with a standard 8-foot ceiling). Again, these are general guidelines and can be adjusted accordingly.

Pendant lights: These are perfect for spaces or areas that need direct overhead lighting, such as over a kitchen island or a wet bar. Measure and hang pendant lights similar to the way you would install a chandelier.

Ceiling mounts: If you’re looking for a more subtle design, mounted ceiling fixtures may work well for your room. They come in countless shapes and styles, so you’re sure to find one that works well with your décor. Ceiling mounts offer more of a design impact than recessed lighting, without attracting as much visual interest as chandelier or pendants lights.

Lastly, you’ll need to consider the types of bulbs each fixture requires. Different types of bulbs emit different colors of light, so the feel of your room will change slightly depending of the type of bulb you select.
