Fixes planned for eroding trail

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com Erosion is a natural threat to any trail system, but a portion of a trail in Starkey Park is at risk of being temporarily closed thanks to its effects.

Parks The 1,000-foot portion of the trail, which winds along Eagle Creek, has experienced normal erosion from use but has been significantly damaged by frequent flooding in the area.

“This happens all over, streams erode their banks,” parks director Matt Dickey said. “In the last five years, we’ve had several significant floods.”

To help fix the problem, Zionsville applied for and received a $100,000 grant through the state’s Lake and River Enhancement program, which exists to preserve and enhance Indiana’s aquatic areas for wildlife and recreation. The fix will cost less than $150,000 and will be funded through the grant and the park department budget.

Muncie-based Flatland Resources will be making the repairs this summer.

“The restoration won’t start until low water season,” Dickey said. “This condition is typically in July when the project will begin, weather dependent.”

Dickey told the Zionsville Town Council last month that a section of the trail may have to be temporarily shut down if significant flooding occurs before repairs can be made. Construction can’t begin until after fish spawning season, which ends June 30. The project is also dependent on permits that must be approved by several federal and state agencies.

ZCHS Spirit Week As a celebration for basketball sectionals, Zionsville Community High School students and faculty recently participated in Spirit Week. See photos at CurrentZionsville.com.

The trail at Starkey Park has eroded because of use and frequent flooding.

Once repairs are made, trail flooding can still occur, but it is expected to cause less damage to the trail system, Dickey said.

WHAT CAUSES TRAIL EROSION? The trail erosion has been caused by three factors, according to Phil Tevis, owner of Flatland Resources: The ditching of streams/channels up stream, straightening of the naturally occurring meanders.

The straightening results in increased energy which causes the outside bend to be more quickly eaten away in higher flow events.

Increase of impermeable surfaces upstream. More parking lots, roads, field tiles, roofs and more cause rain waters to enter into the stream at a very fast rate. The fast water with more speed because of straightened channels creates more erosional forces.

Lack of tree vegetation immediately upstream. No trees, no roots, less soil. Tree roots are like gnarled up fishing line in the ground that holds the soil together.

Town deputy clerk challenging current councilor for clerk-treasurer Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh

Two candidates have filed to run for Zionsville clerk-treasurer in the May primaries – a position that will only exist if a state court sides with the Town of Whitestown and blocks Election Zionsville’s reorganization with Perry Township.

Candace Ulmer, who currently represents District 1 on the town council, will face off against Amelia Lacy, the town’s deputy clerk.

Candace Ulmer

Age: 67 How many years have you lived in Zionsville? 33 How did you end up in Zionsville? My husband lived here and a good friend.

Why do you want to run for elected ofUlmer fice? I personally feel that the unfinished business in my career concerns the financial health of our community, and feel I can contribute more to this endeavor by serving as clerk treasurer for the Town of Zionsville than as a town council member.

What is your previous political experience? My previous experience has been three years as Union Township Trustee and six years on the Zionsville Town Council.

What are your top priorities if elected? Transparency in our budget process, taxpayer education of our budget process, capture accounting efficiencies and the use of technology.

What are your qualifications to run for this office? Having been in public office three years as Union Township Trustee and six years as a Zionsville Town Council member, I believe my skills and knowledge when it comes to the budget process and the im-

plications to our town’s financial health and our taxpayers.

What is your favorite thing about Zionsville? Community participation.

Favorite local restaurant: Patrick’s Favorite movie: Christmas Vacation Family: 4 children/step children; 10 grandchildren Pets: Tucker, our current dog in residence, and our chickens.

Favorite vacation: Christmas at the State Parks with our children and grandchildren. We go for two nights to a state park that has the inn with swimming pool. A great time for all of us.

Something most people don’t know about you: I have both types of macular degeneration in both eyes and love the technology, especially audio books!

Amy Lacy

Age: 56 How many years have you lived in Zionsville? Twelve, almost 13. Moved here in October of 2002.

How did you end up in Zionsville? I’ve loved Zionsville since I was a child growing up Lacy in Indianapolis. While visiting here for the Street Dance in August of 2002, I discovered that my favorite house, which I had visited on two different home tours, was up for sale.

The rest – as they say – is history! To make it even better, soon after the house across the street went up for sale and my mom was able to move to Zionsville as well.

Why do you want to run for elected office? Because I am committed to serving the town and the people I love. After 10-plus years serving as deputy clerk I feel it’s time to step up and expand upon that service.

What is your previous political experience? Pretty much

zero! I am not a politician. Though I have worked for the clerk treasurer of the Town of Zionsville for over 10 years in an appointed position, I have never held an elected office.

What are your top priorities if elected? To maintain the integrity of this town and its strong bond rating and to improve internal efficiencies where possible to better serve the community.

What are your qualifications to run for this office? Serving as deputy clerk since 2004, I am familiar with all aspects of the office. I was also with the State of Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles for over seven years. My time as branch manager of one of the 10 largest license branches gave me a great background in leadership and fiscal management.

What is your favorite thing about Zionsville? I think it is the strong sense of community. There is a rare sense of pride and true caring for our neighbors here. It makes Zionsville so unique and such a great place to live.

Favorite local restaurant: Can’t choose just one! That’s one of the best things about living here! But topping the list are definitely Cobblestone and Patrick’s.

Favorite movie: Recent: Captain Phillips. Of all time: The Wizard of Oz Family: My mother, Jackie Lacy, who passed away in 2010 while battling Alzheimer’s has been and continues to be my inspiration and strength. And I am very blessed to have friends who have become my family.

Pets: A rescued orange marmalade cat – COO (“Chief Operating Officer” of the household!)

Favorite vacation: The beach at Lake Michigan – hands down!

Something most people don’t know about you: Some people may know that I am small in stature, but they probably don’t know that when I was the branch manager at a large license branch in northern Indiana my nickname was “Small, but Mighty.”

Looking back at school fashions Commentary by Ward Degler

I watched a bunch of grade school kids tumble off the school bus the other day. They all carried the same backpacks, and they Plain talk all wore the same shoes.

Grade school fashions have changed dramatically since I was a kid, but the need to fit in and “be one of the guys” hasn’t.

What you wore defined who you were. Then, and now.

Even in high school, the dress code – although unspoken – was rigidly observed. We wore Levis.

Period. There were off-brands, but you might as well come to school with “Outcast” written on your forehead as you wear them.

We wore argyle socks and penny loafers, highly polished with coins in the slots. Most of us wore short-sleeve shirts with V-neck sweaters.

The rich guys, the ones who got new cars for their 16th birthdays, wore T-shirts and cashmere sweaters. Even then there were levels of cool, and we knew our place. Mine was definitely a few levels down from the top.

The exception came when I was in the first grade, living in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, a hefty 12-mile bus ride from school. When school started the day after Labor Day, I boarded the bus wearing a pair of ordinary lace-up oxfords.

All the other guys were wearing shiny leather boots, and they quickly made it clear I was a misfit.

The only thing that saved me from total hu-

miliation was another kid who wore glasses -- thick coke bottle glasses that slid down his nose. Most days we sat together on the bus and pretended to ignore the taunts.

Then came winter, snow and slush, and my shoes were soaked by the time I got home from school. As bad as the ridicule from the boot brigade was, Mom and Dad made it worse by buying me a pair of galoshes. There’s a special sound galoshes make as you clump along in the slop. Like a plow horse slogging through wet mud. Now even the teachers knew I was a misfit. I was miserable.

Mom and Dad must have known because on Christmas morning I got the surprise of my life.

Under the tree was the most magnificent pair of boots I had ever seen. Dad said they were Gokey Botte Sauvage boots, patterned after those worn by early French fur traders.

Even better, the right boot had a sheath to carry a jack knife. And, oh, yeah, my other present that year was a three-blade, bone handle pocket knife that fit perfectly in my boot. The other guys had to carry their knives in their pockets.

Best of all, a couple of the tough kids invited me to sit with them on the bus after that.

Her friends like to call Kayley Adams a water bug.

Small wonder, as the Zionsville Community High School senior loves achievement being in the water, whether it’s swimming, scuba diving, kayaking or wakeboarding. “(The water) is definitely my place to get away,” said Adams, 17, whose family has a home on Grandview Lake in Columbus.

Adams That passion for the water recently landed Adams the Broadreach Community Choice Photographer Award. Her photo of a rainbow stretching across the Caribbean Sea received the most Facebook votes and will be featured in the 2015 Broadreach Calendar.

Adams captured the shot during a 12-day trip to the Caribbean to study marine biology through Broadreach, which organizes summer adventure and study abroad programs for students. Her parents surprised her with the trip to help her decide if a career in marine biology is something she wants to pursue.

“It definitely confirms my passion for it,” said

Kayley Adams shot this award-winning photo of a rainbow stretching across the Caribbean Sea from a 46-foot catamaran. (Submitted photo)

Adams, who plans to major in marine biology at Indiana University.

The win capped a memorable experience for Adams.

“With all the trips and all the students that would be posting things, I didn’t think mine would reach the top,” Adams said. “But with the support of my school and community, people just passed it along.”

Photography is more of a hobby than a love, Adams said.

“I don’t plan to pursue it as a career at this point, but I definitely have a camera everywhere I go,” she said. “It’s my way of capturing my best memories in life.”

ZCS launches smartphone app

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Parents, students and the community can get the latest news from Zionsville Community Schools right on their smartphones through a new mobile app recently school board launched by the district.

The app allows users to view calendars, pay fees, see lunch menus, connect with various campuses and more. The customizable interface lets users easily view what they want and ignore what they don’t.

“It really does allow you to focus on what activities you want to see,” ZCS Chief Technology Officer Patti Bostwick told the school board at its meeting March 9.

Fishers-based BlueBridge developed the app at the urging of Adam Weber, the company’s head of sales and a ZCS parent.

BlueBridge specializes in creating apps for universities, churches and other organizations, but this is the first app it has developed for a public school district, Bostwick said. ZCS received a steep discount on the app as part of a three-year deal, paying only about 20 percent of the initial quote.

At the March meeting, the school board also discussed possible changes to the school calendar beginning with the 2016-2017 school year.

Possibilities include a balanced calendar, which would provide a two-week break in the fall, winter and spring. Students would start the school year earlier than they do now.

Board members expressed support for continuing the weeklong fall break for next year. The 2014-2015 school year marked the first time the district took a full week off for fall break.

The district may send out a community-wide survey to gauge opinions on the proposed schedules.

The school board also received an update on a bill to alter the state education funding formula, which has been approved by the Indiana House of Representatives and has moved on to the Senate. If passed, the proposed bill would provide an estimated additional $246 per student to ZCS by 2017 but would still leave the district $776 below the estimated state average for that year. The Senate could choose to alter those numbers.

Visit www.zcs.k12.in.us to view school board minutes and agendas. The next meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. April 13.

Still soaring 10 years later

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Ten years ago, as president of Eagle Elementary’s PTO, Debbie Unger realized that the school’s fundraising efforts of selling gift wrap and book fairs were becomfundraiser ing a bit stale.

“Everyone had a lifetime supply of gift wrap,” said Ungar, who now serves on the district’s school board.

So she proposed something bigger that would involve teachers, parents and students. A decade later, the Eagle Extravaganza is still going strong.

“I knew how to do an auction and thought it would be a fun community builder,” Ungar said.

“We didn’t have an event where people actually came together. It was a social event.”

The extravaganza was originally designed as an opportunity for parents to hear a summary of the year from educational leaders along with a sock hop, dinner and an auction with items solicited from parents.

Now the event, which took place March 6, has expanded to include cake walks, games in the gymnasium and community donations making up half of the auction items. Classrooms and teacher donations - such as painting with students or hosting after-school parties - contribute to the other half of the auction and a third of the evening’s profits. This year the school raised more

than $15,000 to help pay for Chromebooks, field trips, clubs, software and a school writing project.

But the heart of the event has remained.

“It’s a fun time for the parents to get together while kids can from multiple classes have fun together, too,” PTO president Natalie Kruger said.

“We would never miss it. Our kids wouldn’t let us!”

This year a student-run concession stand was added to the mix, relying on third and fourth graders to contribute their time to the evening with parental guidance. This gave the students an opportunity for responsibility and accountability, Kruger said.

Dance Marathon to benefit hospital that saved Zionsville teen’s life

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com

Just hours after their daughter was born, Greg and Jeanne Laker received news that no parents ever want to hear: Their cover story full-term baby girl was very ill and had to be rushed to Riley Hospital for Children to try and save her life.

Their daughter, Abbie, was born with underdeveloped kidneys, which led to life-threatening complications, including devastating effects on the lungs.

“Abbie was at Riley within six hours of being born, and that’s why she’s here,” Jeanne Laker stated in a previous article. “There were opportunities at Riley no other hospital had.”

Now, 17 years later, Abbie is thriving as a junior at University High School in Carmel. Thanks to her courage and selfless dedication, she has been named a Riley Champion and is helping put on her school’s Dance Marathon, which serves as a fundraiser for the hospital that saved her life.

“It’s been great [being a Riley Champion] this year,” said Abbie Laker, who lives in Zionsville.

“We got to go to Colts and Pacers games, but the best event was when we made pancakes at IHOP with Miss America for the Children’s Miracle Network. But being part of my school’s Dance Marathon for Riley is one of my biggest ways of giving back to Riley.”

Dancing for riley What: University High School’s Dance Marathon When: 3 to 9 p.m. March 21 Where: University High School, 2825 W. 116th St, Carmel Cost: $15 More info: The Dance Marathon will include dancing, games, crafts, food and more. Find more information and donate to the Dance Marathon at http://donate.rileykids.org/UniversityDM2015. See Abbie Laker’s fundraising page at goo.gl/Z1e0aw

A special bond

Abbie plans to dance the night away with her classmates and supporters at the Dance Marathon, something that seemed unthinkable during her first few years.

After spending her first month of life on a ventilator to grow strong enough for surgery, she had her first operation.

“They removed her right kidney and reconstructed her left kidney,” Jeanne Laker said.

“From there she’s had multiple surgeries and doctor appointments, followed by specialists in orthopedics, developmental pediatrics and gastrointestinal and was fed by a G-Tube just in her first six months.”

Just a few years later, Abbie needed another kidney surgery. This time, she wasn’t the only one in her family to go under the knife. Her mother agreed to donate one of her own kidneys to Abbie as soon as she learned she was a match.

“We’ve had 12 great years, and both of us are good,” Jeanne Laker said. “Abbie is on lots

Jeanne are probably a little closer than most mothers and daughters.

“We all three would say they are closer than most, as they are literally and figuratively joined at the hip,” said Greg Laker, adding with a laugh that he feels a little left out at times.

Giving back

of meds and will be for life, but we are blessed she’s had 12 good years of kidney function.”

Because of their unique bond, Abbie and

The Lakers are beyond grateful for what the doctors at Riley did for their daughter, and hospital officials are inspired by Abbie’s strength, perseverance and generous spirit. That’s why the hospital selected her as one of eight children to represent itd as a Riley Champion this year.

“Abbie was named a Riley Champion not only for her medical journey at Riley Hospital but also her [drive] to give back to the Riley community,”

said Karlee Hepp, Dance Marathon Coordinator for the Riley Children’s Foundation. This year, more than 80 Dance Marathons are planned throughout Indiana to benefit Riley.

One way she’s helping the hospital is by serving as the director of Riley Relations for her school’s Dance Marathon. Her duties include communicating with other Riley families and encouraging them to support the Dance Marathon by sharing their stories as well.

Amelia Eskenazi, president of the UHS Dance Marathon, said she hopes to raise $10,000 at this year’s event. The school has raised more than $25,000 for Riley in the three Dance Marathons, adding that it wouldn’t have been such a success without Abbie.

“I am so lucky to be able to call her my friend as well as have the privilege to work with her on this wonderful event benefiting Riley Hospital for Children,” Eskenazi said. “She has inspired me to have a more positive outlook on life and to really see the lasting impact that Riley has on families.”

In addition to her role as a director, Abbie is also serving as a decoration coordinator for the Dance Marathon, thanks to her “creativity and artistic eye,” Eseknazi said. Abbie has had a lifelong passion for art and hopes to one day become an interior designer. For now, she enjoys sharing her work with other patients at Riley.

Both Greg and Jeanne believe it is important for Abbie to give back to Riley so the doctors can continue providing lifesaving care for other families in their time of need.

“One of the neat things we’ve seen over the years is just how Abbie can be as sick as any kid can be, and that Riley has become part of our family,” Greg said. “It doesn’t feel like a hospital, it feels like home.”

Waging a good marriage

FR O M T H E B A C KS H O P Tsk, tsk, Walker: Which is it, sir?

This is a case where it’s best to tell the truth so you never have to remember what you said. Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.), who at one time in 2006 orally ripped the ethanol mandate, altered his message (it’s the Republican way) a week ago during a visit to Iowa.

Surprise! He embraced it during an appearance there. Kudos to Tim Carney of The Washington Examiner for doing the digging on this. By the way, the mandate is the corporate welfare program that subsidizes corn farmers and ethanol producers at the expense of motorists, diners, eateries and the environment. A word to the aspiring GOP nominee for the presidency: Say what you mean, mean what you say. Or don’t, and be like the rest of the sheep already in Washington.

••• NBC News (not Brian Williams) reported last week that its recent poll with the Wall Street Journal shows “more Americans clamoring for change in the upcoming 2016 presidential election than they were in the ‘Hope and Change’ year of 2008.” Interesting. Apparently 59 percent of respondents said they would welcome a less-experienced candidate if he or she were to bring greater changes to existing policies.

Of course they would. They would so much, in fact, that they would simply wish for it instead of going to their polling place. Does anyone know what time Oprah reruns are on? (By the way, we view this, if true, to be something of a concern to Jeb Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the apparent frontrunners for the Republican and Democratic nominations, respectively.)

••• So, back to that whole Hope and Change song and dance. From time to time, we check in on Real Clear Politics polling, and here’s something to ponder from last week: It reported 44.4 percent approves of the job President Barack Obama is doing and 32.2 percent believes our nation is headed in the proper direction. There’s all that change for which American voted.

Smelegant flights

Commentary by Terry Anker

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that airlines have gotten into the smell business. Well to be honest, they have long been in the smell business – jet fuel, full planes filled with a potpourri of intentional and unintended human odors, and then there’s the food (both brought onboard by staff to be served to the passengers and carried from the food court by the passengers themselves) – it would be more accurate to report that airlines are getting into the fragrance business.

Delta has a scent, entertainingly enough called Calm. They’ve actually been using it for a few years now. United has one, too. It goes by the moniker Landing. One wonders if it would be better received if called Safe Landing. Singapore Airlines has been doing it with its Stefan Floridian Waters for almost two decades. The always highly rated airline adds the concoction to its towels, lounges, cabins, and even expects its flight attendants to wear it as a perfume.

British Airways has included scent manipula-

tion as a part of its most recent marketing campaign. They believe it will make use of the human propensity to remember scent longer than other details. Moreover, studies have shown that scent can contribute to the transmission of “a feeling.”

As someone who regularly finds himself stuffed with other travelers into the sardine cans in the sky, I’m a fan of attempts to improve the smell that too often lands somewhere between low-rent food court and middle school locker room. Is the right solution to add another more powerful odor to overwhelm the cacophony of others? Maybe. But, any move to improve the overall smelegance of our ever diminishing decorum on public transportation must be a good thing! So for now, let’s be open minded – or at least keep an open nostril.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K “We love those who know the worst of us and don’t turn their faces away.”

Walker Percy

Everybody throws the word “bet” around.

“Mary Ellen, I bet we’re going to be late again.”

Or, “Dick, I bet that burger has humor 50 grams of fat.”

I enjoy a good wager every once in a while, but I’m also very cheap. I spend a lot of time in casinos…eating the free eggrolls and watching people pull the lever on the nickel slot machine. I like the action.

The truth is that it’s no fun making even a small side bet in a marriage, because there is no excitement in winning. Recently I bet Mary Ellen we would get at least three inches of snow. “Where’s my ten bucks?” I asked her when I was proven right.

“Oh, I don’t have any cash. I forgot to go to the bank. Can you give me some money so I can get groceries tomorrow?”

“Of course. Here’s $50. Now hand over my ten.” I won the bet and it only cost me $40.

Last week, Mary Ellen predicted the Oscar winner for Best Actor. “Where’s my $20?” she asked, after Eddie Redmayne took the award. I handed over the cash, but she gave it right back to me because I needed it to pay the kid who shovels the driveway.

In most marriages, resources are all in one pot, so winning a bet or receiving a gift is not very satisfactory. Like for my birthday this week…

“Wow, what a great watch this is, Mary Ellen. WE shouldn’t have spent so much money on it. I know how hard WE had to work to pay for it.”

Mary Ellen says it’s the thought that counts.

My thought is, I wish she had squirrelled away the money, then bought my gift with that money. When I see my birthday gift on our charge card, it’s not a gift. Or a surprise.

PLEASE, is there anyone who understands what I am saying?

My wife and I no longer bet cash, but chores. “Okay, if I win I’ll cook dinner for a month, Mary Ellen.”

“I hate your cooking. I hope you lose.”

“Okay, if you win, I’ll drive the entire way on our next long trip.”

“Dick, you already do all the driving on long trips. You’re really lousy at this betting thing.”

“Get in the spirit, Mary Ellen. Isn’t wagering kind of fun?”

“I married you,” she said. “That’s the biggest chance I plan to take.”

I dropped my work badge and keys in a notyet-flushed toilet today at the high school where I teach. And not the faculty resthumor room, mind you, but one frequented by hormonal teenage girls.

Disgusting, right? The funny thing is, it didn’t faze me one bit. I quickly reached in, fished my contaminated “stuff” out of the bowl, and went about with my day. (I did wash my hands and later wipe the keys down with a Clorox towlette, so don’t freak out. Even I’m not that carefree!)

But I doubt I would have been so nonchalant 20 years ago. As I complain about increased wrinkling, decreased vision and the other yo-yo perils of middle-age, one thing I do certainly appreciate about hitting my 40s is an improved sense of perspective. Little inconveniences and annoyances just don’t stress me out like they used to, and I find it much easier to prioritize the truly important things in life, like family and college basketball (Go Cards!).

I think a lot of this comes from having children. With the number of times I’ve been pooped, peed and vomited on, germs take on a whole ‘nother meaning. I can testify to the classic observation that the first baby always gets the boiled bottles and Drift detergent and the last is lucky to have her pacifier

licked after it’s fallen into the sandbox before it gets shoved right back into her adorable, dirtcovered mouth.

Having children also means less time to focus on the meaningless. Can I really be bothered by those who double-dip when I’m racing across town in a mini-van to pick up from Tae Kwon Do after dropping off at jazz before grabbing the eighth gallon of milk for the week?

I actually know people who won’t drink tap water on principle, refuse to use airport restrooms or hotel comforters, and will reject a gloriously-salted McDonald’s French fry because it may or may not have spent a few seconds on the aforementioned mini-van’s floor. Ridiculous, I say! Get over yourself and move on. You’re missing the good stuff for fear of the bad.

Or don’t. I’m old enough now not to care. Sure I need bifocals and am addicted to Retin-A, but I have overcome my hang-ups about cleanliness and mysterious microbes and am ready to embrace life. I don’t want to spend my waning years worrying about or wasting time over E-coli and Ebola. Who’s gonna beat those insane Kentucky Wildcats, now that’s a real issue!

Peace out.

Get ready for a spring break ‘staycation’ with these local activities

By Justin Moran • news@currentzionsville.com Are you looking to stay in town for spring break this year? The city offers a plethora of practical options for your best getaway staycation ever. It all starts at White River State Park downtown, where you can find the NCAA Hall of Champions, Eiteljorg Museum, IMAX Theater, State Museum and the Indianapolis Zoo. The Hall of Champions is showing “60 Years of the NCAA Men’s Final Four” until May 5. Photographer Rick Clarkson’s work will be featured; he’s been following national college basketball champions since his trip there with Kansas University 59 years ago.

Come see the new Eiteljorg Museum exhibit “Gold! Riches and Ruin.” The exhibit features artifacts, stories, art and interactive experiences for you. The IMAX Theater will be playing Pandas: The Return Home (by National Geographic) and Secret Ocean, both 3D films inviting the viewer to witness nature up close and personal.

The So Costly a Sacrifice exhibit is open at the Indiana State Museum, exploring the cultural changes brought by the Civil War and Lincoln’s assassination.

On March 20, Butterfly Kaleidoscope begins at the Hilbert Conservatory at White River Gardens, with new butterflies taking their first flights every day. The Zoo’s Spring Family Overnight is also coming up on March 20-21. Families spend the night at the zoo and take on a craft,

games, animal stories and special after-hours tour, before getting their first glimpse of the butterfly exhibit in the morning.

As weather continues to warm, try exploring White River State Park’s 250 acres with Segway of Indiana, or Wheel Fun Rentals can set you up to experience the miles of bike paths available.

To sweeten the deal, local hotels are chipping in with packages to help you enjoy downtown.

Marriott hotels downtown offer the Gardens & Galleries Package, going beyond a hotel stay to include tickets to the White River Gardens, Indianapolis Zoo, Eiteljorg Museum and State Muse-

um. Their Lights, Legends and Lions Package combines a stay with tickets to the IMAX Theater, Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens.

The Hyatt Regency also has a Children’s Museum package, where you can find the just-opened exhibit “Transformers: Robots in Disguise.”

The “Art As Therapy” exhibit runs at the Nickel Plate Arts Campus in Noblesville until March 21. Art As Therapy explores how art can serve as therapy; featured artist Gina Baird is also a board certified therapist.

A different form of art combines with food at Indy Film Fest’s Film to Fork series, which just

opened March 12. Film to Fork combines foodthemed movies, cocktails and dinner prepared

by The Alexander’s Market Table chefs (where it’s held). Food Truck Fridays also just opened March 13, and continue every Friday on Georgia Street. Newcomers Caveman Truck and Wyliepalooza bring joy to ice cream eaters and glutenfree folks everywhere!

For sports, check out Indy Fuel hockey at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum on March 18, or the Pacers with two home games March 21 and 23.

To exercise yourself, Holliday Park holds its trail run March 21 – experience the park’s beauty on a 5-mile course, rain, snow, mud or shine.

Families can visit the Indianapolis Museum of Art for their Equinox celebration on March 21 with a theme on kite-flying! The free event is held from 1-4 p.m. The IMA is also holding Famtastic Days during spring break March 25-28.

Drop in anytime between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and create a piece of art to take home. Tickets are available to be reserved online, $3 each for members and $5 each for guests.

On March 28, visit the Indiana History Center for the 14th Annual Circus Day. The Hampel Family Circus will be there, as well as live animal shows, magicians and jugglers. Face painting, balloons and much more are available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Finally, indie rock band Walk The Moon will be in concert at Egyptian Room, Old National Centre. The Cincinnati band will travel here to play on March 31.

Chocolate beer cupcakes with whiskey filling and Irish cream icing

Compiled by Melissa Hicks Ingredients: 1 cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness), 1 cup butter, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups white sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, 2/3 cup sour cream, 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, 8 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon Irish whiskey, or more to taste, 1/2 cup softened butter, 3 cups confectioners’ sugar or more as needed, 3 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys), or more to taste.

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.

Bring Irish stout beer and 1 cup butter to a boil in a saucepan and set aside until butter has melted, stirring occasionally. Mix in cocoa powder until smooth. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a bowl until thoroughly combined.

Beat eggs with sour cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low until well combined.

Slowly beat in the beer mixture, then the flour

mixture; beat until the batter is smooth. Divide batter between the prepared cupcake cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 17 minutes.

Cool the cupcakes completely. Cut cores out of the center of each cupcake with a sharp paring knife. Discard cores. Bring cream to a simmer in a saucepan over low heat; stir in bittersweet chocolate until melted. Mix in 2 tablespoons butter and Irish whiskey until butter is melted; let mixture cool to room temperature. Filling will thicken as it cools. Spoon the filling into the cored cupcakes. For frosting, whip 1/2 cup butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Set mixer to low speed and slowly beat in confectioners’ sugar, 1 cup at a time, until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Beat in the Irish cream liqueur; adjust thickness of frosting with more confectioners’ sugar if needed. Spread frosting on filled cupcakes.

Original recipe makes two dozen cupcakes.

Eagle Madness debuts this weekend

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

AT THE PALLADIUM

ZACK DE PUE PLAYS BARBER FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 8PM

Maestro Urbański, Concertmaster Zach De Pue and the ISO perform Barber’s Violin Concerto. In addition, the orchestra will perform the world premiere of ISO Principal Trombonist James Beckel’s Brass Concerto.

Zionsville Middle School band director Josh Weirich is known locally for his skills in the classroom, but he is eager fundraiser to display the performing facet of his talents.

Weirich and fellow ZMS band director Chris Murray will have that opportunity as their band, Groove Essential, will play at Eagle Madness, a Zionsville Athletic Booster Club fundraiser on March 21.

“It’s exciting for Chris and I to show some of the people in Zionsville a side of us other than our teacher side,” said Weirich, who plays the saxophone.

The fundraiser is set from 6:30 to 11 p.m. in the Whitestown Municipal Complex, at the corner of Whitestown Parkway and S. 700 E. Weirich, a 37-year-old Zionsville resident, is in his 14th year of teaching band at ZMS. Murray, a trumpeter, is in his fifth year at ZMS. “It’s a party band so we play a mix of rock, disco, Motown,” Weirich said. “We play all over the Midwest. One weekend we might be in Indianapolis and then next in Chicago and then in Cincinnati. It’s a lot of fun and we’ve played some really neat places. We’ve played for governors and we’ve played several times at Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby.”

Weirich has performed with the Temptations, The O’Jays, the Four Freshman and Lawrence

Groove Essential will perform at the inaugural Eagle Madness fundraiser. Submitted photo)

Welk Orchestra, among others.

This is the first spring fundraiser for the Booster Club, whose major fundraiser, EagleFest, is traditionally held before the first home football game.

Ginger Holt, Eagle Madness chairwoman for the Booster Club, said the Zionsville athletic department wanted to hold a spring event to keep the club’s momentum going throughout the year. Holt said the plan is to have Eagle Madness join EagleFest as an annual event.

While EagleFest is for families, Eagle Madness will be for those 21 and older. The event is casual attire and will include stadium-style food, beverages, a silent auction and TVs so fans can watch live games.

Ticket prices are $40 and can be purchased at www.zionsvilleeagles.org.

Sardine dish a super-food

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

A friend of mine asked me: what are you cooking tonight? I said: Sardine Curry in Tomato Sauce!

In shock she asked me: how did you convince your family to eat that? I said: this recipe will make you change your mind. This delicious and surprisingly tasty meal will give you a glimpse into Fijian cuisine. These tiny fishes are a super-food because of their bone-building vitamins.

Note: Sardines are high in Omega-3, contain iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese as well as a full complement of the B vitamins.

SARDINE CURRY IN TOMATO SAUCE Serve: 6 Ingredients: • olive oil • 1 large onion, diced • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1 can (15-ounces) sardines in tomato sauce (I use “La Preferida” sold in Latin markets) • 1/2 pound string beans, cut in three parts

• • • •

1 can (15-ounces) tomato sauce 1 teaspoon curry powder 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon ginger, peeled and grated (optional) • pinch of salt and pepper to taste • handful cilantro, chopped • juice of half a lemon Directions: Heat the oil over medium heat in a low saucepan. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add sardines, crush the flesh with the back of a fork, add string beans, tomato sauce, curry powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for five minutes until string beans are al dente. Taste and adjust seasoning. Finish with a handful of cilantro and juice of half a lemon, mix well. Serve with jasmine or basmati rice.

Witham Center for Interventional Pain

Commentary by Dr. Sweta Tandra

Some topics, such as those pertaining to bodily functions and colonoscopies, just don’t seem right for polite conversation body or thoughtful consideration as you trudge through daily obligations. The latter, however, is key to stopping the seconddeadliest cancer to hit Americans: colon cancer.

Many patients live with colon cancer for many years with no symptoms. The disease is highly treatable when identified early, but chances of survival dwindle considerably if caught after it spreads outside the colon.

The linchpin: early screening. In fact, 60 percent of colon cancer could be prevented if everyone underwent screening aged 50 and older, the age group where 90 percent of colon cancer is found.

During a colonoscopy, doctors examine the colon with a flexible tube, looking for pre-cancerous growth. Many patients tell me they didn’t get a colonoscopy because no one told them to, or because they feared the process.

Once patients undergo the test, they find it’s not as difficult or uncomfortable as they thought. If, for whatever reason, a colonoscopy isn’t feasible, clinicians can use other screening

modalities, like a simple stool test, flexible sigmoidoscopy (shorter scope that does not need elaborate colon cleansing) or CT colonography (a series of X-ray scans).

A surprising trend with colon cancer diagnoses is the rise in incidences in people between 20 and 50 years old. Scientists don’t yet understand why, and the data isn’t strong enough to extend screening to everyone, as a result of possible adverse effects. For patients younger than 50, I recommend paying close attention to symptoms like abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits or anemia, as well as risk factors (obesity, smoking, high alcohol consumption) and family history.

Regardless of age, a healthy lifestyle with a fiber-rich diet, no smoking and limited alcohol consumption can go a long way to prevent colon cancer. But don’t forget screening. With a little education, patients find screening can be simple.

Most importantly, it can help us stop cancer.

The Sanctuary to close its doors March 21

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com

the house llama

Nancy Noel will officially close the doors of her Zionsville gallery, The Sanctuary, on March 21 as she prepares to moves to a new location in Aspen, Colo.

“The new space is pherelocation nomenal,” Noel said. The gallery will be located in the heart of Aspen in the middle of the town square. The building has glass on the front and side so that her art will be visible to passersby, something that wasn’t part of her Zionsville space.

She’ll be bringing a certain number of her original paintings to sell, many of which were recently in demand when visitors learned she would be leaving Zionsville. Noel decided to hold back some of them to ensure she’ll have a variety for her Aspen space.

The Sanctuary is not sold, but Noel is confident they will find the right buyer soon.

After living in Zionsville 40 years, Noel is keeping her home and farm and appreciates the time she has had here.

“Certainly The Sanctuary has given me the opportunity to put all of my things in one place,” she said.

“Out here I feel very safe,” she said, and hopes that residents appreciate the uniqueness of the town. “I hope they understand the value in trying to keep it small and quaint.”

She feels that Zionsville and Aspen have some

Staying behind in Indiana are many of Nancy Noel’s animals: llamas, horses, dogs and a pig. But among them a little llama named Luna is extra special to Noel.

“The baby llama is just a joy,” Noel said.

Luna the llama was abandoned by her mother but rescued by Noel, who brought the animal into her house. Luna has found herself literally at home ever since and follows Noel everywhere. Noel even moved the area where she paints to the first floor so that the llama wouldn’t have to climb the stairs to be near.

Having a menagerie is not unusual to Noel.

“I don’t think anything of it, because I’ve had animals in my house all my life,” Noel said.

Luna has even become an internet sensation, with thousands of people viewing a video about her on Facebook and YouTube.

similarities, and in both towns, “everybody’s always looking out for each other.”

“There’s not enough hours in the day for me to paint everything I want to paint,” she said. “I’ve decided I’m going to have a great time for the rest of my life.”

And she plans to enjoy her time in Aspen.

“The more I’m out here, the happier I am with the decision,” she said. “It just has a vibe that I don’t know of any place [else] in the country.”

Funeral home marks 60 years

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Flanner and Buchanan Funeral Centers began operating its funeral home in Zionsville in 1955.

“That was the year I was born,” said fourthgeneration owner Bruce anniversary Buchanan, who turned 60 on Feb. 2.

Flanner and Buchanan bought the Zionsville funeral home from the Phillippi family in 1955. The Phillippi family built the home at 105 W. Pine St. in 1930.

“I think that was the first Buchanan funeral home in Zionsville,” Buchanan said. “Before that funerals were done at home or at the church.”

Through the years, Flanner and Buchanan has expanded the funeral home.

“As part of the 60th, we’ve done a major remodel of the inside,” Buchanan said. “It’s just an opportunity to reach out to the community and remind them we’ve been here a long time and how much we are a part of the community.”

Flanner and Buchanan opened its first location in downtown Indianapolis in 1881. That location has since moved.

“We’re one of the oldest continually-run family businesses in the state,” Buchanan said.

It was started by his great-uncle Frank Flan-

Scroll: Treasure map or ancient hoax?

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.

The so-called “Copper Scroll,” now housed in a Jordanian museum, identifies hidden caches of almost unimaginable quantities Travel of gold and silver. Although some scholars believe the scroll is a 2000-year-old hoax, would-be Indiana Joneses keep digging.

After local Bedouins found the original Dead Sea Scrolls in caves near Jericho in 1946, archaeologists searched 250 nearby caves. In 1952, they found two scrolls in what became known as “Cave 3,” made of high-grade copper instead of the parchment and papyrus of scrolls found earlier. Because the metal had long since corroded and become brittle, the scrolls could not be unrolled. A laboratory in Manchester, England, eventually opened the scrolls by cutting them lengthwise and then separating the sheets. The translated Hebrew text, written in script unlike that of the other scrolls, showed the two scrolls were part of a single scroll that had separated before being rolled. What became known as the “Copper Scroll” lists 64 locations where specified quantities of gold, silver and other treasures can be found. Some experts have estimated the total amount of gold and silver to be more than five million ounces, worth billions of dollars at current prices.

Scholars are divided about who made the Copper Scroll and what, if any, treasures it de-

scribes. Some believe the scroll identifies items from the Second Temple in Jerusalem, hidden before the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Others argue the items were accumulated by first century Essenes living in Qumran, near where the scroll was found. Still others claim the treasures came from the First Temple, destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. Finally, some scholars believe the Copper Scroll repeated an ancient fable. Fable or not, explorers from around the world have sought fame and fortune using the ambiguous descriptions in the Copper Scroll, so far digging up only dirt.

Because Jordan financed the expedition that found the Copper Scroll, for years it was displayed in the Jordanian Archaeological Museum.

The scroll recently moved to a much larger display in the newly opened Jordan Museum in Amman, where it is among the museum’s most popular items.

Rearranging floor plan creates full bath, laundry room Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING LAUNDRY ROOM: Located in the Smokey Knoll subdivision in Carmel, this 28-year-old tri-level BLUEPRINT FOR home had a first IMPROVEMENT floor guest bedroom with only a half bathroom nearby. As a result, guests were forced to climb two sets of stairs to take a shower.

Although functional, the adjacent laundry room was outdated and in need of a fresh look. The homeowners wanted to convert the half bath to a full bath to make guests feel more comfortable in their home.

COMBINING ROOMS: In order to create enough space to add a full bath for guests, the original powder bath and laundry room were combined into one space. The existing guest bedroom doorway was terminated and relocated to the hallway wall. The interior hall walls were modified allowing the extra hallway space needed to expand the new bathroom/laundry room.

NATURAL LIGHT: The window from the existing laundry room helps flood the expanded space with abundant natural light. The location of the shower and the frameless glass enclosure also takes advantage of the light creating a warm and inviting experience for guests.

MATERIAL SELECTIONS: “During the design phase, our material selections were inspired

Before

by a very clean and fresh look.” Large “Madison Silver” 12-by-24-inch tile was installed in a brick pattern making the room appear larger. The shower features Eastern Blanco 8-by-24-inch wall tile in a staggered pattern while glass subway tile accents the niche.

The laundry area features storage space for laundry detergents and supplies, a stainless steel rack for hang-drying clothes, dedicated laundry hampers and a Cambria quartz countertop in a “Torquay” color for folding.

The same glass subway tile installed in the shower was used for the backsplash for a

After

clean and consistent look.

FINAL RESULT: “We love the brightness and elegance of the new laundry/bathroom the most. The remodel has dramatically improved our guests’ experience and it certainly makes doing laundry fun!”
