Man arrested after breaking into library By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Zionsville police arrested a man who broke into the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library early April 5. Crime Jason Thurman, 44, has been charged with burglary, criminal mischief and public intoxication. He surrendered to police after officers sent the K9 unit into the building to search for the suspect. “The suspect came out and pretty much gave himself up,” Zionsville Police Dept. chief Robert Knox

said. “I don’t think he wanted anything to do with the dog searching for him.” Police were called to the scene after the suspect set off a library alarm. They set up a perimeter and sent in a team to search for the suspect. Thurman was taken to the Boone County Jail. Knox said he does not know why Thurman Thurman broke into the library and that it appears that nothing was taken.

Council talks elections, engineers Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh

What happened: The council approved using up to $30,000 from the general fund to fund the 2015 municipal election. What it means: Every four years all of the town council seats are up for election. The town overlooked budgeting for election expenses in the 2014-2015 budget. The amount approved is the same amount the town appropriated for elections in 2011.

What’s next: Boone County will administer the election and will bill the town for its services. If the total amount billed is less than $30,000, the extra funds will go back into the general fund.

What happened: The council selected Beam, Longest & Neff to provide engineering services for the next three years. What it means: BLN currently provides the town’s engineering services, and they are one of three firms that expressed interest in serving the town for the next three years. After meeting with the three firms, town staff found no reason to switch to another firm at this time.

What’s next: In three years, the town will once again review options for engineering services.

What happened: The council delayed a decision on a proposal from Barnes & Thornburg to provide legislative services for the town. What this means: For $5,000 a month when the state legislature is meeting and $3,000 a month when it is not, Barnes & Thornburg has offered to monitor legislation at the state level, provide lobbyists and provide other legislative services.

What’s next: The original proposal was written to take effect at the beginning of the state legislative session, which is almost over. Barnes & Thornburg plans to alter the proposal and present it to council for discussion at a future meeting.

What happened: The council voted to engage engineering firm HWC to help develop a plan for the site of the former PNC Bank. What this means: The town purchased the site two years ago to have greater control over land near an intersection that was expected to be improved. Now that preliminary engineering work has been done and the town knows how much space is needed to expand the intersection, the council has the option of selling the land or finding another use for it. Council member Tim Haak suggested working with HWC to help develop a plan so that the town could maintain control of what develops at this crucial intersection.

RECEIVE HALF-OFF OPTIONS!

What’s next: The council expects HWC to spend the next several months developing a plan for the area. Funding is available from different sources and will depend on the final scope of the study.

Zionsville search for pace car thief comes up short By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Police spent the early morning hours of April 9 searching for a man who drove an Indy 500 pace car through a showroom glass window and down several stairs at an Indianapolis car dealer. He then fled on crime foot after abandoning the vehicle near Ford Road and Irishman’s Run Lane. The Zionsville Police Dept. found the disabled car on the side of the road before 1 a.m. April 9 after a resident in the Fox Hollow neighborhood called 911 to report a man seeking shelter at their home. As ZPD began its search, they heard about the car being stolen from the Bill Estes Chevrolet showroom on 96th St. in northwest Indianapolis and realized the incidents were related. Officers from ZPD, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Whitestown Police Department and the Boone County Sheriff’s Office joined forces to search the area. The Zionsville Fire Department also assisted in the search with a thermal imaging device. IMPD and ZPD both brought in police dogs to help search for the suspect, whom they believe suffered injuries in the incident. “The K9 dogs were able to track an individual but they did eventually lose that track and were not successful,” ZPD Capt. Robert Musgrave said. Police sent extra patrols through the surrounding area overnight but did not locate the suspect, who was described as a white male without a shirt. Police dogs did locate a white T-shirt believed to belong to the suspect.

The hill at Mulberry Fields is a favorite place for sledding in Zionsville. (File photo by Ann Marie Shambaugh)

Mulberry Fields hill to be repaired By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

The hill at Mulberry Fields is a favorite local spot for athletes to train and families to sled, but all of that attention has left the parks mound in need of repair. “I remember seeing it when the morning sun hit it and it looked flatter than a pancake up there,” said Matt Dickey, Zionsville superintendent of parks and recreation, adding that the town’s intent is to keep long grass on the hill. The Zionsville Board of Parks & Recreation voted April 8 to spend $6,137 to provide additional maintenance for the hill. Schlensker Consulting of Whitestown has developed a plan to treat the east and south sides of the hill to restore its con-

dition heading into the warm weather months. In April, crews will aerate, fertilize and complete slice seeding on the east side of the hill. The south side of the hill will require power raking, hydroseeding, fertilizing and hydromulching. Dickey said the area will remain open as the work is being done. The parks board also discussed a request from a resident to install a railing or use some other method to encourage sledders to walk up the hill in a certain area rather than cross the paths of sleds coming downhill and risk a collision. After consulting with their attorney, board members decided not to take any action because similar measures elsewhere have shown to be ineffective and could add liability for the town. “It’s better to leave the hill as it is and encourage safe use,” board member Phil Howard said.

District 4, 5 candidates speak out at forum

By James Feichtner • news@currentzionsville.com Event: The Zionsville Village Residents’ Association hosted a candidate forum for town council districts 4 and 5 on April 7 at election SullivanMunce Cultural Center. Who attended: Candidates running for districts four and five were in attendance including Elizabeth Hopper (Dist. 4), Andrew Auersch (Dist. 4), Joshua Garrett (Dist. 5) and Bret Brewer (Dist. 5). What Happened: Candidates were allowed an opening statement and then were asked a series of questions by the forum moderator. Questions ranged in topic and pertained to the possibility of Zionsville having its first mayor and how that would affect the role of the town council, how candidates would interact with voters in their district, what improvements in town services candidates would seek and the town council’s authority over local school budgets. Elizabeth Hopper A 14-year Zionsville resident and current Dist. 4 town councilor, Hopper aims to continue a good council-school board relationship and strong schools, is interested in increasing the tax base diversity and continuing town growth Hopper in a responsible manner while maintaining Zionsville’s charm. Hopper stated the

mayor is an essential role that needs to be filled. Topping Hopper’s list for service improvements were streets and parks. Hopper also noted that she was pleased with the turn out of the reconstructed bridge on Ford Road and that the legal issues over Perry Township were unfortunate, but that the town was acting in its best interest. Andrew Auersch A lawyer and 10-year Zionsville resident, Andrew Auersch aims at “preserving Zionsville for a prosperous future.” He is proud of the uniqueness that Zionsville’s Village holds and intends to preserve it, but is open to growth in the right areas, such as attracting businesses and Auersch school funding. Auersch feels that a mayor is a necessary role to help relieve some of the many duties the council president endures. Auersch is currently pleased with public services but feels they could be better with more funding, especially roads. He stated that he was unhappy with the amount of spending over the Perry Township lawsuit. He also showed dissatisfaction with the replacement of the Ford Road bridge. Joshua Garrett Co-founder of Mobi Wireless Management, Garrett plans to use his expertise from his business and bring it to his potential role as a town councilor. He hopes to help develop a strategy

that keeps Zionsville relevant in Central Indiana while protecting its current atmosphere and supports initiatives to bring new jobs to the area. He explained his current occupation allows for flexibility and availability for the town council role and views the position more as a volunteer Garrett position than a paid one. Garrett was pleased with current public services but hopes that by improving the tax base by bringing in more business incentives will allow for more funding of public services. Bret Brewer As a certified practitioner of accounting, Brewer emphasized his background in finance to aid his potential role on the town council and that he has been analyzing the town budget. He stated that the time commitment of the council role is evident, but doable. While he was unhappy Brewer with the amount of money spent in the legal issues over Perry Township, he ultimately believes that having a mayor is a necessary endeavor for the town. For improvements in services, Brewer hoped for an increase in paths and welcomed suggestions for discussion of other improvements to be made so that funds could be allocated in an appropriate manner.

One of the blessings in my life is the lady in the beauty shop who cuts my hair. She has done it for years, she knows how Plain talk I like it, and she always manages to make me look good. No small task considering the odd shape of my head, the baby-fineness of my hair and my advanced years. As satisfied as I am today, looking back over the thousands of haircuts I have had in my life, I recognize that something has changed. That something is the barbershop. From the time I was a tad guys got their haircuts at the barbershop. Beauty shops were strictly for the ladies. Barbershops were institutions unto themselves with special traditions and a culture that bespoke maleness, manhood. As boys we walked in, waited our turn and hoped that the palpable essence of adulthood we breathed in that place would make us smarter, stronger, cooler. You never made an appointment to get a haircut. You just arrived, nodded to your favorite barber (the one that didn’t tease you about your zits), and plopped nonchalantly into one of the chrome and vinyl chairs that lined the wall. The magazines were special and they, as much as anything else in the place, defined who you were or – at the very least – who you wanted to become. They were magazines about

car racing, hunting and fishing. In the history of barbershops not a single issue of Ladies Home Journal ever found its way through the door. The smells were special too. Bay Rum – that stinging splash on the back of your neck after the barber shaved close to the skin. Cigar smoke was another fragrance that made the barbershop a barbershop. Even men who normally didn’t smoke found pleasure in a cigar within the confines of the barbershop. A barbershop was readily identifiable from the street. Every one had the same red, white and blue diagonally-striped barber pole on the wall just outside the door. Most of them were stationary, but a special few turned in an endless mesmerizing dance. Today barber poles are manufactured exclusively by the William Marvy Company in St. Paul, Minn. I visited the place once. They told me the barber pole business was steady but no longer a growth industry. Sometimes I miss my visits to the barbershop. Still, I have to admit there is much to be said about scanning through Ladies Home Journal these days and swapping recipes with the lady who cuts my hair.

Youth center brings hope to kids Commentary by Dr. Sally Brown Bassett

One winter day in December a few years back, Chick Big Crow of the Pine Indian Reservation picked me up at the philanthropy Rapid City Airport. With very little knowledge of Native Americans, I was not sure what to expect. My mission was to see the work that Chick Big Crow was doing for the Lakota Sioux children. Chick’s daughter, SuAnne Big Crow, died in an automobile accident when she was 17 years old. SuAnne had been a star at basketball and had great hopes of making a difference. After her death, Chick decided to make her daughter’s dreams a reality. She opened the first Boys and Girls Club on an Indian reservation. During his term, President Bill Clinton visited and granted $1 million toward the building of the center. Chick Big Crow did her best to show me the concerns and reality of life on the reservation that affects her work. It was shocking to see small, rundown homes along desolate roads. Food available could barely be called nutritional. Alcoholism and/or drug abuse is a way of life in most families. The reservation is considered “dry”

but just a couple of miles down the road were liquor stores in Nebraska. Chick’s biggest obstacle was trying to break the cycle of that way of life and show the children they could be ambitious and want more. I wrote in a recent Current article about seeing the most devastating poverty in Cambodia. This is not necessarily what I encountered in South Dakota. What was truly devastating was the lack of hope. Hope is needed for true change, where children would be motivated to learn and achieve their potential. One woman has made a difference. It was originally Chick Big Crow’s daughter’s dream to see a youth center built. SuAnne’s dream became Chick’s. Chick made it a reality. Hope is being generated.

Zionsville teen’s song a finalist By Chris Bavender • news@currentzionsville.com A Zionsville teen is a finalist in the 2014 International Songwriting Competition for her song “Hurricane.” Sophia Joelle Petts was music chosen from among 18,000 entrants for the final 345 competitors – 16 of those in the teen category. “Hurricane was a song that didn’t take too much thought to write,” Petts said. “I sat down one night and just started playing around with some metaphors and similes for the way I was feeling and I guess the only correct way to put it was, ‘You’re like a hurricane.’” The Zionsville Middle School eighth grader said the song was written about a specific person at the time who is no longer in her life. “And even then, the song wasn’t really for him. It was for me, so I could clear my head and straighten out my feelings,” she said. It was Petts’ mom, Jody, who entered her in the competition, unbeknownst to the teen. “One night she just came home and said, ‘Hey I entered your songs into a global writing competition’ and of course I was excited,” Petts said. Pett’s producer – Thomas Daugherty - said she always has a strong vision for what a song should be. “The first time she grabbed a guitar and played “Hurricane” for me, I said, ‘We gotta record this. Soon.’ So, I’m not surprised that people who hear the song are reacting to it like they are,” he

said. “The thing about Sophia is that it’s really not fair. She should not be able to write and sing like she does at age 14. And if she’s already this good, it’s scary for me to think how good she’ll be when she’s in her early 20’s.” Industry professionals will designate a winner in each category but the public can also weigh in via the People’s “Voice.” That winner will be named based upon which song gets the most votes.

Bedbugs found at movie theater

By Anna Skinner • news@currentzionsville.com

When IUPUI student Brisa Acuna visited the AMC Showplace Traders Point on April 5, she expected to have an enpublic health joyable evening watching “Furious 7” with her family. She did not expect to wake up the next day with several itchy red spots on her arm and back. She thought she would leave with a movie ticket stub, not a plethora of bedbug bites. “I’m scared and furious thinking that I could have brought one of those bugs back with me,” Acuna said. “I really don’t feel comfortable going back to a movie theater at this moment. I feel disgusted thinking that while I was watching the movie, these bugs were on me.” The bites worsened until Acuna needed antibiotics and steroids. She spent $321.97 on the medicine. Acuna has placed a complaint with the theater, but they have not compensated her for the money she spent on medication or for the movie. Bedbugs feed off the blood of humans and animals, and they can travel from place to place on clothing or luggage. They normally hide in mattresses and headboards—their name is based off their common infestation in beds. The most popular places they can be found are college dorms, hotels and hospitals. However, they can hide in other places, too, such as movie theater seat fabric.

Brisa Acuna says a trip to the AMC Showplace at Traders Point led to bedbug bites and a trip to the doctor. (Submitted photo)

AMC released the following statement. “Among all of our theatres in the Indianapolis market, there was a single theatre auditorium with a bed bug issue. At AMC, we take aggressive, proactive steps, including regular, routine inspections and inspections any time a bed bug is suspected. If any inspection comes back positive for bed bugs, the affected area is immediately treated by a third-party expert pest control company. Out of an abundance of caution and to assure the public of its safety, the auditorium in question is closed, is being retreated and will re-open after additional third-party expert inspections indicate there is no detectable pest presence.”

Young editors create newspaper

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com

Students and families involved in the R.O.C.K. program at Zionsville United Methodist Church have a new way to keep up with School the group’s latest happenings with the launch of ROCK, Paper, Scissors, a newspaper created by two students. The R.O.C.K. program - Really Outrageous Christian Kids - has never had anything like this before, but when Pleasant View Elementary students Elliott Peter and Ethan Simmons asked if they could create a newspaper, they were met with enthusiasm. “It’s given the whole R.O.C.K. program a lot of excitement,” R.O.C.K. Director Kathy Gibson said. They created the semi-monthly paper to let people know what was happening in the program. They initially wanted to call it the ROCK Current because they were familiar with the weekly Zionsville newspaper, but recently changed it to ROCK, Paper, Scissors as a play on words. The stories range from an interview with the weekly ROCK Star to comics to a reminder to keep a family or person in their prayers. “I love the way that they write,” Gibson said. “We try to reach beyond the four walls and teach the children about service.” As editors, Elliott and Ethan have established a deadline, schedule and certain days of the week during which they work along with a signup sheet for articles. After a financial donation from a parent, they are now creating a business plan and are figuring out how to best use the money. The paper has expanded from its first three-page issue in February to tripling in size for the fourth issue. As with many first endeavors, it took some adjustments to make the concept work. “We had the idea a while ago but it didn’t work,” Ethan said. After attempting a first issue, others offered

to contribute. “And so we had a lot of things to put in, mostly pictures and comics,” said Elliot. The paper is not limited to students from a specific school. “It brings kids together from other schools, too,” Gibson said. “They have to work together as a team to do this.” A core group of students between kindergarten and fifth grade work on the paper continuously. “It’s great, it tells news, they can get everyone involved,” Gibson said. “In this day and age of so much technology, here’s a group of kids taking paper and pencil and caring about writing.”

Owners to sell Montgomery Aviation after 25 years of service

By Michelle Williams • news@currentzionsville.com Montgomery Aviation hit a major milestone when it celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. This year, the owners have already hit another milestone: deciding to sell the business. Although the sale is not yet final, Eagle cover story Creek Aviation Services has agreed to purchase the fixed base operations and maintenance facility at Indianapolis Executive Airport in Zionsville. The agreement also includes the purchase of the FBO at Frankfort/ Clinton County Airport and Grissom Aeroplex. Once the entities outline final terms and obtain appropriate board approval, the sale will become official. Sean White, director of marketing and business development for Montgomery Aviation, says the process could potentially wrap up next month, although several months may be required to execute the final agreement. White explained that the Montgomery family has received several casual purchase offers over the years. Owners Dan and Andi Montgomery desired to keep many aspects of the business consistent for current customers. Eagle Creek Aviation Services is locally owned and family operated, making the company an appealing prospect for the sale of the business. “We believe Eagle Creek Aviation and their team understands the importance of customer service and will not only take good care of our customers, staff, and the community — but will also take the business to new heights,” Dan Montgomery said. “It was time to pass things off to a new generation and let them take it to the next level.” Many facets of the business will remain unchanged in the immediate future — including the business name. The existing staff of Montgomery Aviation will carry operations forward, and involvement in the local business community and charitable activities will continue. Eagle Creek Aviation has publicly announced its intent to preserve the Open House, Fly-In and Air Race supporting Down Syndrome Indiana scheduled for Aug. 1.

Building the business Dan Montgomery went to work at the airport in 1975 and started Montgomery Aviation in 1989. He built the business from a

piston aircraft maintenance shop into the FBO at the facility. Over the years with infrastructure improvements initiated by Montgomery Aviation, the airport has expanded into the premier regional aviation facility for business travelers. For years, Dan has sensed a precise responsibility to attract businesses and industry and bolster the reputation of the region. “I believe this airport is a gateway to our community,” he said. “It’s the first and last impression a business has of the community, and we wanted it to be a good one.” Dan fondly recalled the early days, living on the airport grounds and regularly entertaining customers and friends. Dan commented that it has been a great place to raise a family, adding, “It’s been our life for the last 25 years.” All three of his children have grown up in Zionsville and worked at the airport. After years of hard work, dedication and service to the community, Dan and Andi are now ready to slow down and settle into retirement. Following the final sale of Montgomery Aviation, they plan to move to a home they have built at an air park in the state of Tennessee. Instead of working, they will be able to relax and enjoy their new life in a place White described as a “country club for airplanes.”

Dan and Andi Montgomery in the mid-2000s. (Submitted photos)

‘A lot of fun’ During the last decade, the most notable developments at the airport have materialized. The Montgomery family has added two new hangars and a terminal building. The airport has become a destination for various community events, even hosting a Hank Williams, Jr. concert under its signature canopy. “That was the start to hosting many events under the canopy — from church services, to weddings, graduation parties, open houses, fly-ins, and more,” Dan Montgomery said. “If you can think it up, we’ve probably hosted it. The canopy is somewhat of a trademark for us, and it’s been a great tool for our business and an asset to the community.” The airport’s busiest time was during the 2012 Super Bowl, when they hosted hundreds of aircraft, some belonging to halftime show talent and sportscasters. Indy Executive airport was the second busiest airport at the time, preceded only by Indianapolis International.

Dan Montgomery joins his youngest child, Garrett, in front of Dan’s first flight school aircraft. Garrett Montgomery is in training to become a helicopter pilot with the Indiana National Guard. Two of Dan Montgomery’s children have received their pilots licenses.

“We’ve played host to just about every type of celebrity you can imagine, from former presidents to rock stars,” Dan Montgomery said. “You meet a lot of unique and interesting people, and it’s been a lot of fun.”

Caffeine catastrophe

FR O M   T HE BA C KSH O P The name game: Hillary or Clinton? With one day remaining before the annual fleecing by the IRS, it’s interesting to us that among the burning topics late last week was this: Hillary Rodham Clinton, who we and the rest of the free world believe will declare for the Democratic presidential race, is being defended by women that consider it sexist to refer to her by her first name. “I think it generally cheapens the image of the candidate,” one wag said last week. Yeah, it’s right up there with Benghazi and personal e-mail accounts. We’re not certain how Clinton prefers to be addressed, but we will defer to the journalistic style of our times and use her full name on first reference, last name on subsequent mentions. This ranks right up there with defending our borders, shrinking government and dialing back spending. It’s interesting to us that Clinton’s team has mobilized a Ready for Hillary super-PAC effort. It’s not too sexist, we suppose, to ask for campaign donations for a firstname-candidate. We further suppose being referred to by her first name beats the tar out of how her husband, former president William Jefferson Clinton, was called Slick Willie. Still, it would be along the same lines of references to Teddy (Theodore Roosevelt), Silent Cal (Calvin Coolidge), Ike (Dwight Eisenhower) and Ronnie (Ronald Reagan). In our view, it is not sexist and this is much ado about absolutely nothing. Still, as we await word from on high as to how we’re expected to address Clinton, we offer these suggestions: former senator, former secretary of state, Bill’s wife, high priestess, her majesty and/or her royal highness (even though the latter two are reserved for a monarchy, which, come to think of it … ).“Part of the rap about (Clinton) has been she’s not accessible and she’s not warm or friendly. This makes her a real person,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “(Hillary) has become part of the vernacular.” Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Armchair sports

Commentary by Terry Anker

Defined as possessing a state of mind including irrational, thoughtless, and negative assessment of people, ideas, or beliefs while clinging to one’s flawed self-perception, bigots love politics. Unquestionably, one could point to grenade throwers on both sides of the recent religious freedom debate. Moralizing has long been an American armchair sport. As discussed and widely expected, the issue seems to have landed in an indecipherable draw with both sides arguing victory while still demanding further “protection.” Were it a lesson to those legislators who would use their power to govern as a tool to force the subjugation of their, well, subjects, we could move on. Unfortunately, it’s added more legislation to more legislation to more legislation. One wonders the good of it. Leaders of countless institutions use broadbrush shaming to demand their own point-ofview. And, it seems to work. Perhaps we could apply the tactic to the on-going executions of “non-Muslims” by “non-Christians” in Africa? Maybe a super-cool company like Sales Force

could lead the way. Or, maybe Apple, which has more employees in countries that execute homosexuals than it does Indiana, could send out a Tweet. Let’s punish all “non-Christians” until they force the capitulation of other “non-Christians” – we can host a bacchanal of self-congratulatory, preening, and likewise erudite editorials cast from the highest reaches of our “right” minded elite. Let’s boycott Africa. It must be a continent of racists! Does New York do business there? One wonders when they will provide the moral beacon to withdraw from Africa with indignation. Will Gov. Andrew Cuomo voice the necessary reference point? What will we do until the press conference is called? Let’s stand by with CNN on live feed learning that Bruce Jenner is sad that his ex-wife’s daughter is sharing his clothes. Life is complex. Shouldn’t we be slow to judge?

-Nelson Mandela

I’m sitting in Starbucks, trying to finish my column on my latest dental disaster, but I am so distracted by the conversations next to me that I’ve decided to hold the torture experience until next week in favor of expressing my opinions on people in coffee shops. First off, why am I here? Admittedly, I normally pen my articles during down times at school, stolen moments in the morning, or waiting at Tae Kwon Do. But I’m currently on Spring Break, and because my kids are in a different school system, it’s just been the dog and I. This is not a good thing. She’s so excited to have a playmate she literally cannot leave me alone. As soon as I even start to open my laptop or head in the general direction of the office, she grabs her tennis ball and comes barreling at me. “Play with me!” her big, brown, puppy eyes beg. If I ignore her, the barking and jumping begin, quite aggressively I might add, until I have no choice but to head outside and throw the stupid toy. So much for a relaxing vacation! My solution is simply to leave the house. Over the last few days I’ve spent quality hours at Wal-Mart, Jiffy Lube, Meijer, my classroom, Goodwill, Thai Orchid, the orthodontist, and now, Starbucks. When I first arrived, the place was fairly empty - a few professionals having lunch and a couple of retirees hanging out. I needed to charge my computer, so I chose a table in between two ladies. Five minutes after I’d plugged in, three women joined the one to my left. They range in age from mid-20s to probably 50, and now all I can currently do is listen, flinch and type. Holy mackerel! I want to interrupt and remind them that they are in a public place! With no discretion whatsoever, they are speaking quiet emphatically and specifically about their crappy boss, a coworker who is ruining her life with a deadbeat boyfriend, their awful clients, and every bad parenting decision their friends have made in the last three years. They are being caddy and judgmental and self-righteous, and honestly, I’m having difficulty suppressing a strong urge to punch somebody. Since I can’t physically harm them without risking incarceration, I’m writing about them here. Call it therapy! And now I’m just mad. I came here to get away from the crazy, and I’m seated next to a big bowl of it. So let this serve as a kindly reminder that airing your grievances is fine, and even on occasion, healthy, but doing so in a popular coffee shop may end you up in the local paper. Peace out.

Editor, Christmas day was going well and we would soon leave home to join a family dinner. Our plans however took a sudden unwelcome turn when my daughter came through the door, crying and with a bloody hand that obviously hurt. My daughter had been walking our dog, Rosie, with the leash secured into Rosie’s harness. An unleashed dog decided to give chase, despite the pleas by my daughter and the dog’s owner to stay away. A fight broke out between Rosie and the other dog. My daughter tried to pull them apart when she was bitten on the hand by one of them. We took our daughter to the Anson Emergency Room. The wounds were cleansed and bandages applied. X-rays revealed no fractures. The charge was $1,370. The hospital reported the dog to a state registry. We reported the incident to the police.

The officer told us he would visit the owner that evening and find out whether the dog had its vaccinations. Fortunately it did. My wife and I recently took Rosie for another walk. Our intended destination was the nearby Elm Street Green Park. We never got there. There were two unleashed dogs in our path, one of which began to approach us. It was deja vu all over again. Our daughter was bitten in two separate offleash dog incidents in 2014. My wife has a lingering forearm strain from trying to hold Rosie back when another off-leash dog approached aggressively. A friend was chased by a dog in the Elm Street Green Park while jogging. These are just a few of the dog off-leash incidents I am aware of. I ask that everyone reading this letter obey the law and keep their dog on a leash. If you are bitten or otherwise threatened by a dog, please report it to the police. Do it to protect your family. Do it to protect others. Do it to avoid injury to your dog. Do it to avoid the liability you may incur if your dog goes off-leash. John W. Tousley, Zionsville

Club Morocco opens May 1

By Chris Bavender • news@currentnoblesville.com The music of the American Songbook swing era will take center stage when the Carmel Community Players present Club Morocco May 1 through 17. “The music of The Great American SongPerformance book is timeless and is one of the most important eras of musical development in American history,” said director, Ashton Wolf. “It speaks to people of all ages and lives in the hearts of millions of Americans, young and the young at heart. The music and artist of the swing era have been influencing generations of musical artists and can even now be heard by the likes of Lady Gaga teaming up with Tony Bennet to deliver some of her best performances yet.” A cast of 14 singers and dancers from all over the greater Indianapolis area, as well Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers will bring the show to life.

The talent that auditioned for this show was amazing. We were able to pull together a dream-team production staff and in addition, we’ve been fortunate to acquire excellent musicianship,” Wolf said. In addition, the show will feature a seven piece band playing songs by the likes of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Harold Arlen and Louis Prima. “The Music of the swing era was about big bands with lots of horns and great swing arrangements,” Wolf said. “We have stayed true to the arranging style of the time and wanted as many band members as possible to create the big band sound. If you’re going to play swing, you have to have real musicians.” The play opens with actual live film-noir style footage and will “explode into a rainbow of colors on the first downbeat of the music.” “We are turning the entire theatre into the Club Morocco, with tables available for some of our patrons. And, we will invite the

audience to dance if they wish,” Wolf said. “You won’t feel like you are in a theatre, you’ll feel like you are at the Club Morocco, a swanky Hollywood-esque style nightclub akin to those that existed during the heyday of the swing era; Ciro’s, Slapsy Maxie’s, the Trocadero et al.” Wolf said the show isn’t just a play – but an experience. “It’s a high-flying swing-music musical with gangsters and gumshoes, songbirds and hoofers; where the swing is red-hot, the beauty dangerous and the luck as fleeting as the love,” Wolf said. “You’ll come for the mood and the mystery; you’ll stay for the swing because at Club Morocco – ‘Once you’ve had the taste you never lose the hunger.’” Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $17 for adults and $15 for seniors (62+) and students. They are available online at www.carmelplayers.org or by calling 815-9387.

Use tea for more than just sipping Commentary by Ceci Martinez Not only is tea a wonderful beverage to sip, but it can also help make creative dishes. This delicious Asian tea-infused recipe, Brown Rice with Edamame and Shitake Mushrooms, is not only flavorful, but a healthy vegetarian dish. Note: Green tea is one of the healthiest teas you can drink because it is packed with antioxidants that fight and prevent cell damage. Freshness and a good quality brand are important. Ingredients: • 1 1/3 cups short grain brown rice • 2 cups brewed green tea, cooled • 2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon soy sauce • 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar • 1 tablespoon canola oil • 3 1/2 ounces shitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps sliced • 1/2 grated ginger • 1 cup shelled edamame • 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds, lightly toasted Directions: Rinse rice well and bring to a boil with green tea and 2 teaspoons of soy sauce in a heavy saucepan, then reduce heat to very low and simmer, tightly covered, until water is absorbed,

Choosing a Preschool That Will Prepare Your Child for Kindergarten When I was a child, getting ready for kindergarten meant getting new school supplies including that all too familiar paste. Fast forward thirty plus years and we find a much different landscape for parents trying to navigate preschool choices. As a mother who sent her first child off to kindergarten last fall, I know what it means to be faced with the daunting task of choosing a preschool that will prepare your child for kindergarten while still letting you cherish the moment. Think picking a preschool is a daunting task like I did? Getting out and speaking to parents and other teachers is a great first step. I personally recommend that you attend the Community Social being held on Tuesday April 21st, from 6-7pm at both Carmel KinderCare locations. You’ll get a chance to speak to teachers one on one about how pre-school lays the foundation for kindergarten. Learn about early literacy and STEM while your child has a blast working on a fun arts and crafts project. Call 317-856-843-2956 for the Hazell Dell Rd.location or 317-844-3464 for the Rangeline Rd. location for more information. Hope to see you there! Julie, Proud KinderCare Mom

about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes. While rice is cooking stir together vinegar and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce; set aside. Heat oil in large skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes; add ginger and cook for 1 minute more; transfer to a large nonmetal bowl. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add edamame and cook for 5 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and add to mushrooms. Once rice is ready, transfer to the bowl of mushrooms and edamame. Sprinkle with vinegar mixture, tossing gently with a large spoon. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds and more soy sauce, if desired.

Deli finds new owner

Commentary by Donna Monday

Remember the “Euchre Guys?” Sure you do. I wrote a column about them recently, and they claim it’s made them famous neighbors – in Zionsville anyway. A quartet of retired locals, they’ve shown up at dawn every Friday to play euchre at Big Dave’s Deli for the past 12 years. Fears were, that with the lease up at Big Dave’s in January, they would become four euchre players in search of a place to deal. Good news, folks. A new owner has stepped forward. Martin Klekovski, who’s worked at Big Dave’s for six years will soon own the place. “Paperwork is still in the works,” says Martin, “but I’m going to be the owner.” He and his wife, Brooke, are excited about the new adventure. “It’s a long way from Macedonia to Zionsvllle,” says Martin. And he should know. The Macedonian made his way to the Village by way of Germany. That’s where he met his wife, who was Brooke Ferrin at the time. A 1993 ZCHS graduate, she was working as a hair stylist in that country. She spent a total of 12 years there but returned to Zionsville with Martin and their son, Carter, in 2006. “For me,” says Brooke, “it was coming back home. Zionsville is a great place to raise kids.” (Carter is now 13 and a student at Zionsville Middle School West.)

Martin is a U.S. citizen, and the family makes its home on Ash Street. Brooke calls their new venture “an American dream come true – to own a little deli.” No big changes are expected at the deli except for making it more “female friendly,” according to chef Mike Weber. That includes “more lettuce,” he laughs. Martin adds they will also offer “more fruits and vegetables. The girls come in and want things like spinach feta omelets.” Dinner will be served from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, either eat-in or take-home. A special will be offered each of those nights, but Martin says you don’t have to order the special – or even dinner – in the evening. “You want breakfast for dinner? Fine,” he says. As for the “Euchre Guys,” they are always welcome. “I see them like my grandparents,” says Martin. Mike nods. “The Fix twins grew up with my parents,” he says. “They are like family.” So there you have it. New owner, same deli. Food up front. Euchre in the back. Every Friday for 12 years and counting.

Namaste! My name is Anne, and I teach kids yoga at Simply Yoga in Zionsville. Yoga helps us make space in our bodies and steady Yoga our minds. Join me here each month to learn about a yoga pose, its benefits, and even give it a try yourself. Remember that there is no perfect in yoga. It’s ok to look silly, wobble a bit, and laugh. Now let me introduce Tree Pose in honor of Earth Day. Examine a tree in nature, and you will notice its strong trunk supporting wide branches, leaves, and even flowers or fruit. Below the earth a tree has roots growing down and spreading wide; they help it grow toward the sky. A tree might sway and bend in the wind, but with strong roots it stays upright. Try to become a tree yourself. Stand tall. Lift one foot and place it on the ankle, calf or inner thigh of the standing leg. Raise hands to your heart and balance. The trick to a stable tree pose is to gaze at something that’s not moving and use that stillness to quiet your mind. When your mind is still, your body will listen. Tree is a wonderful pose to practice with a partner. Hold a hand for support or grow your branches upward together. Practice taking at least three deep breaths in your tree pose. Tree pose challenges our balance and builds strength in our feet, ankles and core. It reminds us that while we might bend and sway during stormy times, we are still strong and rooted. As our roots grow stronger, we are able to stretch our branches tall and stand proud.

The tree pose builds strength in the feet, ankles and core. (Submitted photo by Brett Johnson) Anne Johnson teaches kids, tots, expectant and new mothers yoga at Simply Yoga in Zionsville.

Coming to a newspaper near you Commentary by Jordan Fischer The Associated Press released last month the list of changes and new entries for the 2015 edition of its stylebook. grammar guy As the default style guide newspaper, magazine and TV writers adhere to the in U.S., there’s a high probability you’ll be seeing some of these changes soon. Here are some of the more noteworthy updates: 1. BLT is now acceptable on first reference for a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Which AP senior editor has been sticking to his guns on this – and how long does it take him to order lunch? 2. The stylebook finally has an entry for “meme.” YTMND launched in 2001, guys. With this and the BLT thing … you’re not exactly on the bleeding edge of the culture. 3. You’ll be seeing “animal welfare activist” instead of “animal rights activist” from now on. 4. Kathmandu will now be spelled Kathmandu instead of, you know, however else we were spelling it. 5. This one I really like: There is now an entry chiding sportswriters for all the terrible clichés they use. I’m just going to excerpt it in its entirety: “A team losing a game is not a ‘disaster.’ Home runs are homers,

not ‘dingers,’ ‘jacks’ or ‘bombs.’ A player scored 10 straight points, not 10 ‘unanswered’ points. If a football team scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn’t come back, say it ‘never trailed’ rather than ‘never looked back.’ In short, avoid hackneyed words and phrases, redundancies and exaggerations.” 6. That being said, they’ve added “parking the bus” as an acceptable description of a team packing its defense to protect a lead. 7. On a more serious note, the stylebook now advises against using the phrase “execution-style” to describe killings. 8. “Favorite” is now a verb – as in clicking that star button on Twitter and then never looking at the tweet again. 9. “Craft brewery” is now the preferred term instead of “microbrewery.” 10. Last one: Ulan Bator is out. Ulaanbaatar is in. Should make your upcoming trip to Mongolia a lot smoother. Those are the big ones. Nothing so controversial this year as in 2014, when they decided “more than” and “over” could be used interchangeably - except in Current.

Commentary by Don Knebel

The tomb of Emperor Humayun near Delhi, India, is a spectacular example of 16th century Persian architecture. It inspired what many travel consider to be the most beautiful building in the world. Humayun became the second Mughal Emperor in 1531 A.D. upon the death of his father, Babur, a descendant of both Timur and Genghis Khan who founded the Empire in 1526 after capturing northern India. Pashtun rebels drove Humayun from his throne in 1540 and he obtained sanctuary in Persia. When he regained control of the Mughal Empire in 1555, he brought back to India Persian tastes and a Persian wife named Haji Begum. Six months after his triumphant return, Humayun died after falling down the steps of his library. Haji Begum was devastated by her husband’s sudden death and sought solace by undertaking the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. She returned motivated to erect a magnificent building to serve as Humayun’s mausoleum, personally funding its 1.5 million rupee cost and supervising its five-year construction. Completed in about 1572, the tomb was constructed primarily of red sandstone, accented with white and black marble. Designed by Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, the symmetrical two-story octagonal structure incor-

porated Persian architectural details, including a large double dome and arched alcoves. The innovative design also featured classic Indian kiosks called “chhatris” positioned around the dome. Humayun’s tomb was surrounded by a 30acre square garden called a “charbagh” (four gardens), divided into four identical sections by intersecting water channels symbolizing the Islamic image of the rivers of paradise. When the English gained control of India, they had a different idea of paradise and replaced the charbagh with a proper English garden, complete with roundabouts. The garden was restored to its original design after Humayun’s tomb became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993. Humayun, a mediocre emperor, is remembered primarily for being the father of the third Mughal Emperor, Akbar the Great, renowned for his religious tolerance. Humayun’s tomb, built by a grieving wife, is remembered as the architectural and inspirational ancestor of the Taj Mahal, built by a grieving Shah Jahan, Akbar’s grandson, as a tomb for his favorite wife.

Transforming a family home to a sophisticated residence Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

EXISTING KITCHEN: Built in 1987, this east side Carmel home suffered from a choppy floor plan and outdated cosmetblueprint for ics. “After becoming improvement empty nesters, we were ready for a change. We considered upgrading to a newer house, but decided to stay in our family home due to comfort, familiarity and our outdoor landscaping that took years to perfect. Our goals were to open up the main level without breaking the budget, create more storage in the kitchen and modernize the design for a grown up look.” OPEN & AIRY: To create a more open look without the incremental costs of tearing down walls and installing support beams, the six main level doorways were widened to nearly double in size. Removing the bulkheads in the kitchen and powder room, adding recessed can lights and installing engineered hardwood throughout the main level also helped make the space feel more open and airy. THE KITCHEN: The original U-shape layout made the space feel cramped and uninviting for guests. Removing the existing closet pantry and desk and replacing it with a wall of storage allowed for a new open cabinet layout with an island. SOPHISTICATED DESIGN: “Over the years, the design of our home centered around our children.

Now that they have moved on, we wanted to create a more grown up look.” To achieve the desired mature look, Giallo Fiorito granite and a stone backsplash tile was selected for the powder room and kitchen. New decorative light fixtures in a bronze finish were installed in the dining room, kitchen and foyer on dimmable switches. The dark family room built-ins were replaced with maple cabinets with an ivory finish to match the kitchen island.

RESULT: “The remodel completely changed the way we live and entertain in our home. We love that we can comfortably entertain family and friends. The openness of the kitchen and family room now allows people to freely move around.”
