Bike donations help youth

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Zionsville bike and running shop Endurance House recently collected a trailer full of used bikes plus helmets, clothing nonprofit and tire rims to be donated to the nonprofit Freewheelin’ Community Bikes. The materials will be reused to help Indianapolis youth aged 10-18 learn bike mechanics, riding and safety.

“It’s good timing, with national bike month (in May), Earth day, spring cleaning,” said Sarah Speicher, Endurance House’s community outreach coordinator.

Donations from the Zionsville store on April 18 will be combined with those at Endurance House’s Fisher’s location collected on April 25.

“It’s neat because even if you have some things you think are trash, they can fix up those items,” said Speicher, who encourages donation of all equipment regardless of age.

“We’re trying to find ways to help those who might not have access to the equipment we have,” store owner Jay Miller said. “Hopefully it will be something that can continue in the future.”

Ryan Gibson and Brian Johnson, members of Dow AgroSciences Agrocyclists group, assisted with the collection. Last year’s col-

lection was limited to Dow employees on the campus, so they were enthusiastic to partner with Endurance House and expand to a community event.

Endurance House will accept bikes for donation throughout the year on behalf of Freewheelin’ Community Bikes. They also accept used running shoes.

LEARN BIKE MAINTENANCE With May being national bike month, Endurance House will host a bike maintenance clinic at 6 p.m. May 7 and 11 a.m. May 9. The event will provide an informal opportunity to learn basic bicycle needs such as changing a tire and basic bike safety.

The woman who lived in a tree Commentary by Dr. Sally Brown Bassett She lived on a 6-by-6-foot plywood platform 200 feet up in tree for more than two years!

Why? To save an anenvironment cient redwood tree in California from being cut down by Pacific Lumber Company loggers.

I personally have not met someone more determined to make a difference and more passionate for our earth than Julia Butterfly Hill.

Like many people, I wanted to know the particulars of how Julia lived during her time in the tree, affectionately known as “Luna.”

Food was hoisted up to her and she cooked on a single-burner propane store. Bathing was done from a bucket. She seldom washed the soles of her feet, because the sap helped her feet stick to the branches better. She often called herself a “dirty, tree huggin’ hippy.”

Julia faced some of the worst winter storms recorded in the history of California. She survived severe weather, harassment, loneliness and doubt. Because of her experience, she not only survived but thrived.

After 738 days, Julia descended on Dec. 18, 1999. She was successful in saving the tree.

Since then, she has become an activist for social, environmental and consciousness is-

sues, speaking to more than 250 groups a year around the world. She wrote a book that I could not put down, “The Legacy of Luna.”

Julia Butterfly Hill embodies one of my very favorite posters. “Well-behaved women seldom make history.”

Dr. Sally Brown Bassett is a yogi, social entrepreneur and world traveler. She is the founder and president of Peace through Yoga Foundation, where she leads trips to Costa Rica several times a year and works at the foundation’s International Center for Peace.

When radio captured the kids Commentary by Ward Degler We were discussing the growing problem of teenage gangs. “Dad’s not around and Mom works,” someone said. “The Plain talk kids are unsupervised and on their own. Sooner or later they get into trouble.”

We had the same problem at the outbreak of World War II. Dad was fighting overseas and Mom was working in the defense plant.

But we had a solution.

Back then our primary entertainment was radio. We sat around the radio then the same way we sit around the television today.

I read somewhere that President Roosevelt invited the heads of the broadcast networks to the White House for a meeting. How would it be, he asked, if you guys developed a series of 15-minute radio shows for kids? Adventures, loaded with patriotic messages, hope, honesty and fair play.

The shows should air every weekday, starting right after school. The networks agreed and within weeks America’s airwaves announced a lineup of serial radio shows aimed at school kids.

The first show of the day was “Jack Armstrong, All American Boy,” the globe-trotting

adventures of Jack and his pals who traveled by seaplane and ocean-going sailboat to exotic and often dangerous parts of the world where they solved crimes and exposed spies.

At 4:45 it was “Terry and the Pirates,” the saga of a swashbuckling American patriot who joined forces with freebooting pirates to combat America’s enemies.

“Dick Tracy” was next, battling crime and sabotage on the home front. Then “Little Orphan Annie” and her dog Sandy proved a daily match for bad guys just about everywhere.

The day rounded out with the adventures of “The Green Hornet” and “Junior G-Men,” stories of government agents and superheroes who relied on ordinary boys and girls to help vanquish our enemies.

We believed them all, of course, and identified with those heroic and patriotic boys and girls. Because of it, we stayed out of trouble, and in a small way, helped win the war.

It probably wouldn’t work with today’s kids.

Or, would it?

‘Maverick Contessa’ shares her tale

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Countess Bianca Maria Lovatelli’s life has been a full and interesting one. Born in Italy in 1933, her mother worked underBOOK cover for the Allies, her father was wrongly imprisoned as a fascist spy, she married several times, became a journalist, a TV personality, an author and a mother. Now living in Zionsville, the countess has put the first 40 years of her life in print.

The book begins as the young Contessa and her British-born mother escape from Italy under Mussolini’s rule at the beginning of the war. They travel by air, land and sea with a few close calls before reaching Brazil, where her Italian father had been recently transferred to work for an airline. The book covers Lovatelli’s rebellious youth, her marriages, her journalism career and life in South American high society.

“Ever since I was a little girl I somehow knew that I was going to write about my adventures because I knew that I was going to have adventures,” Lovatelli said after a book signing at Black Dog Books on April 18.

From the age of 15, she began to save many of her personal items and started her first diary. Essays and other writings from decades

earlier shaped the beginning of her book, which she decided to write in 2009 while living in Argentina.

“It’s funny when you write a memoir, some of the memories, you find they hurt,” she mused.

While sorting through the content and materials she had amassed over the years, Lovatelli came to the conclusion that she couldn’t write only one book.

“I’m now writing the second half of my life,” she said.

Lovatelli’s book “The Maverick Contessa” is available locally at Black Dog Books.

A decade later, subdivision plans still disputed

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Much has changed since the Zionsville Plan Commission approved plans for a 322-lot subdivision along S. CR 800 E nearly a decade ago. The town’s Plan commission population has doubled, the nation has gone through a housing market crash and recovery, and that led to the subdivision in question – now known as Hampshire – having several name changes and multiple developers.

What hasn’t changed, however, is that the land still sits vacant, and neighboring residents are just as opposed to certain elements of the proposed development as they were in 2006.

Some of those neighbors attended the April 20 plan commission meeting to speak against the project, which is seeking to be developed by Beazer Homes. Among their biggest concerns were the perceived elimination of a commitment to build custom homes and a lowering of the average home price from what they believe was understood when the plan was approved in 2006.

Robin Meyer, who lives near the proposed development, was among the remonstrators who voiced their concerns when the project was first proposed. She said that their feedback led to many improvements to the development plan, some of which she believes Beazer is not honoring in their current proposal.

“Please don’t send a message to the members of our community that the accomplishments of our remonstrators nine years ago meant nothing,” Meyer said.

Tim Ochs, an attorney representing Beazer,

said that Beazer has been working tirelessly with town staff to comb through documents compiled throughout the decade to determine the original development agreements. He presented a list of 11 commitments, ranging from upgrading nearby roads to adding pedestrian crosswalks, which were on the meeting agenda for a vote of affirmation.

Ochs said that the proposal not only included all commitments that could be found in the 2006 documents, which were never officially approved, but that Beazer went above and beyond what was required a decade ago.

“We’re trying to clean up a situation here, and I feel like Beazer is being made a villain,” Ochs said. “The truth is there were statements – not commitments – made on the record that we are trying to accommodate.”

Several members of the plan commission expressed concern, however, including Kevin Schiferl, who noted that he was one of the remonstrators in 2006. He recused himself from the discussion, but only after Ochs, plan commission president Allan Rachles and the town’s attorney suggested he step down.

Schiferl disagreed that a recusal was necessary, but he left the dais and once again voiced his concerns as a remonstrator.

“It’s approved subject to the commitments, and if you don’t live up to the commitments there’s no approval,” Schiferl said.

At the end of the lengthy discussion, one other factor still hadn’t changed. The commitments still haven’t been affirmed, as the commission voted, 5-1, to continue the public hearing until the May 18 meeting. Commissioners will use the time to review documents from 2006, and Beazer representatives plan to do additional research on what types of homes were originally planned for the development.

One of those days?

It’s been a busy eight months for Weston Clark since his appointment last September as one of five teen achievement National Student Poets.

After presenting their poetry during a private reading at the White House hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama, the teens headed off to begin their stints as poetry ambassadors.

For Clark, 16, that meant prepping for a stint as a workshop teacher at the Pelham school district in New Hampshire where he taught four workshops. The Zionsville resident said the middle school students broke out of their shells to express themselves and the high school students created inspirational and heartbreaking pieces they presented at a poetry reading.

“That is what I love about teaching workshops,” Clark said. “You give students a medium through which to express themselves and what follows never ceases to amaze.”

He also had a chance to speak to a panel of educators at the Geraldine Dodge Poetry Festival to help them improve their poetry teaching skills.

“Many of today’s great youth poets (and

history’s great poets as well) have been nudged toward the craft by a beloved teacher.

I, myself, can remember each and every teacher who helped me on my way and encouraged me to write,” he said.

Now his attention has turned to putting the finishing touches on his community service project, which focuses on cultural preservation.

“I am trying to teach kids to be proud of their roots, while at the same time fostering an understanding of one another that goes beyond stereotypes and other assumptions,” he said. “My goal is to show people that they aren’t as different from one another as they

might think.”

So far Clark said his time as a National Student Poet has helped shape him even further as a poet and a person.

“Beginning my year of service in the National Student Poets Program was a lot like burying a seed in the soil and waiting for it to grow. Since then the seed has been sufficiently watered by the friends, poets, teaching experiences, and poetry festivals I have been exposed to along the way as a result of the program,” he said. “Now, my plant has begun blooming – my experiences bringing about new and better poetry and interesting ways to teach it.”

Off-campus lunch approved

DREAM THE FIRST STEP IN CREATING A NEW EXPERIENCE

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

The lunch room at Zionsville Community High School might be a little less crowded next school year. The ZCS school ZCHS board approved a change to the student handbook April 13 that will allow seniors who meet certain criteria to head off campus for lunch on designated days.

The new policy requires that students have at least a 3.5 GPA and parent approval to leave campus for lunch. ZCHS Principal Tim East told the school board that he expects about 200 members of the senior class to qualify. They would be spread over three lunch periods, meaning that 67 or so seniors could head out for lunch any given period.

East said he hopes that the new “senior privilege” will serve as motivation for students to make good choices and teach them skills that will be useful after they graduate from high school.

“We want to help them learn to manage their time,” East said.

ZCHS junior Ryanne Stanfield said that she and her classmates had been hoping the school would one day allow seniors to leave

campus for lunch.

“It would definitely be good motivation for seniors to keep their grades up and to stay eligible in order to go out to lunch with friends,” she said.

senior privileges ZCHS students on track to graduate and in their fourth year of study may, with parent and administrative approval, elect to participate in the Senior Privilege Program. This program is designed to allow students to experience the privileges and responsibilities that will accompany the higher degrees of freedom they will have in the next stage of their lives. Qualifying seniors meet the following criteria: • 3.5 or above grade point average during the 6th semester • enrolled in coursework that yields at least 6 credits • enrollment in at least one Advanced Placement, dual credit or career certification course • have no suspensions during the 6th semester • have no more than 7 days (49 periods) of absence during the 6th semester Source: ZCHS student handbook updates

ZCHS one of eight schools selected for virtual exchange program

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com They may be half a world away – literally – but some key similarities between Boone County and Victoria, Australia, have led to an unlikely opportunity for two cover story groups of high school students to study each other’s water systems.

Zionsville Community High School was one of eight schools in the U.S. to be selected to participate in an environmental exchange program with an Australian school. The USAUS H2O: USA-Australia Virtual Environmental Partnership exists to introduce high school students to important environmental issues on a global scale.

ZCHS has been paired with Notre Dame Academy, which is in an agriculturally-dominated portion of Australia in the watershed of a large river system.

“We wanted a school in the Midwest, also in a temperate region with similar state with agriculture as a main feature nearby,” said Judith O’Neil, a University of Maryland professor who is running the exchange program. “We used contacts we had in Indiana to hone in on a school with an enthusiastic science teacher and supportive school administration.”

In the classroom

The 27 students in Jill Trent’s AP Environmental Science class are participating in the interactive virtual partnership.

The program includes six components that include guest speakers, field trips to the White River Water Treatment Plant and Belmont Wastewater Treatment Plant, communication with Australian students through Skype and the creation of a short video.

Trent expects her students to complete the program in May.

“This program is a great way to learn about the water that we use every day, as well as a way to learn about the environmental aspect of another country,” junior Alysa Tarrant said.

“I’m excited to learn more about the water I drink and how water is managed in Australia.”

In addition to learning about science, O’Neil hopes that students will also gain an appreciation and knowledge of other cultures.

“This program seeks to have the participants expand their computer literacy skills, knowledge of their local as well as national and international water cycles, gain a deeper understanding of the other country’s culture and influence positive change in their communities,” she said.

The big picture

The virtual exchange program is part of a three-year pilot study, which launched in 2013 with funding from the U.S. federal government. The second phase, which is currently underway, is funded through the Australian government. Universities in the U.S. and Australia have also contributed to the program.

ZCHS AP Environmental Science students recently took a field trip In addition to ZCHS, schools in Oregon, California, Louisiana, to the White River Water Treatment Plant as part of the virtual Florida, Maryland, New Jersey and Maine have been selected exchange program.

“It has always been my contention that a laundromat, not the singles bar, is the best place to meet your soulmate.” humor That sentence above was written by me, back when I was still single and working as a freelance writer in 1980 for a magazine called “Living Single.”

Here’s part of the column. Is the column funny now? Was it even funny then? You tell me.

Come to think of it, don’t tell me.

WASHED-UP RELATIONSHIPS I propose the establishment of a new oasis of romance and intrigue: the laundro-bar!

Now, for the first time, men and women can let it all hang out and come clean in a safe atmosphere where one can talk freely. No spin. Well, except maybe at the very end.

Patrons entering the laundro-bar are seated at a washing machine. The ambience would stimulate snappy repartee about the “pressing issues” America is facing. Patrons who neglected to clean their pockets before loading their wash might discuss the shrinking American dollar.

“Hiya, sweetheart. How ya doin’ tonight?”

“Okay, but I’ve had a little too much to

wash.”

“Loaded, huh?”

“Do you come here often?”

“A few times a week to catch up on the latest dirt.”

“I used to come more often, but I bought a second pair of socks. What are you drinking?”

“A Mai Tide. What are you drinking?”

“A Wash and Dry Martini.”

“CHEERS!” “Say, baby, want to come over to my place for a little romance?”

“I can’t right now. I just checked the washing machine and I’m right in the middle of my______.”

I’m so ashamed of that last line that I can’t even print it. I told my wife how embarrassed I was that I would write anything that juvenile, even 35 years ago. “Well that’s all changed now,” she told me.

“Because my writing has become more mature?”

“Heavens, no, Dick. You just aren’t embarrassed as easily.”

Editor, The Zionsville Village Business District has never been more vibrant. It continues to be gratifying to experience the positive transformation of the Village with the sustained success of many long standing businesses as well as the steady addition of new ones over the last few years.

As business owners, we recognize that it is a critical time for us to help continue Zionsville’s momentum. As such, we proudly

support the candidates who received endorsements from the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce. It is important that Elizabeth Hopper, Tom Schuler, Jeff Papa and Susana Suarez be afforded another term as well as the addition of Josh Garrett, Brett Ashton and Bryan Traylor to the town council to ensure that Zionsville continues to thrive.

Editor, Have you ever heard of the phrase “silence is deafening”? It is used to imply that what you do not hear is just as bad as hearing it?

Recently, there was a public outcry against the RFRA law and Indiana made national headlines for all of the wrong reasons. Soon after the bill was passed, Mayor Ballard, speaking on behalf of Indianapolis, came out speaking against the bill. Shortly thereafter, the local news media, reported that the leadership of Carmel, Noblesville and Westfield also denounced the bill.

It was just recently reported that our

neighbors in Whitestown have approved a new ordinance aimed at protecting LGBT residents from discrimination. Given that our neighbors have spoken out it leaves one in Zionsville to ponder, where does the leadership of Zionsville stand? We have yet to hear a word from either the Chamber of Commerce or the town council. We have also not heard a word from all of the candidates who are running for town council. It is this resident’s belief that we deserve to know where our leadership stands. I refer back to my opening statement, “the silence is deafening.”

Respectfully, Dan McCampbell

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Pressing forward: A freshened Current Welcome to your new Current. If you notice a slightly different format with the newspaper you’re holding in your hands, you are correct. If you notice a cleaner, brighter presentation with enhanced color reproduction, you’re on target. We have aligned with a different print vendor, not because our previous vendor did anything untoward, but mostly because the new vendor has the capacity to accommodate Current’s growth. It really was that simple … in the end. It was a bittersweet parting, because this, without a doubt, is our most important vendor relationship, and the previous vendor was extremely good to us.

We grew with that outfit, and it grew with us. We were treated like family, and so the decision to part with the company actually took approximately five months at which to arrive. There are so many moving parts that it became an extremely “micro” exercise. But, in the end, it came down to this: There are all sorts of efficiencies that now are available to us in this new relationship, including different methods of advertising-message display and delivery, and we aim to make use of them.

We simply had to do it, because the growth curve of our company has been steep and should be so well into the future. We owe it to our readers and advertisers to be as “current” as possible and to take every opportunity to improve the Current experience.

So with the new vendor, there are presses more modern and a number of processes to enhance presentation of news and advertising to you. Everything is well organized, and we’re encouraged for what we believe the future holds. We urge you to give this newand-improved version of Current a test drive and let us know your thoughts.

Isn’t that special?

Commentary by Terry Anker

As “Saturday Night Live’s” Church Lady might have observed, “well, isn’t that special?” Her snarky and moralizing posture won hordes of fans and pointed to the judgmental nature of many of the imagined religious old guard. Dana Carvey, playing the character in drag, succeeded in securing a load of catchphrases and merchandising money along the way. But even as we enjoy a laugh firmly based in our own superiority over the silly and preening nature of the Church Lady, are we missing our own progressive, but equally judgmental, posture?

Some 3,500 people surrendered their U.S. citizenship last year – a record beating even the previous year’s highest-ever number. Those asked routinely cited the considerable expansion of government and taxation as the reason for their decision to depart. Hmmm. In the meantime, U.S. companies are eyeing the relocation of their corporate operations to some foreign land as they intentionally seek a more attractive regulatory and financial environment in which to remain internationally competitive

(a practice called inversion). Hmmm, again.

Bitter with the embarrassing departures, Mr. Obama has been joined by a number of moralizing church ladies in scolding the erstwhile once Americans as somehow anti-American. Aren’t they behaving in an anti-American fashion by definition? “God bless America, but another choice is better for me.” Regardless of the motivation behind the move, the political aristocracy feels compelled to criticize the moves as immoral. As was the case at the founding of this nation some nearly 250 years ago, folks will gravitate to places where they see the greatest opportunity and away from those they see in decline. Can we blame them?

Should our attention be focused upon the reasons cited for the departure instead of raging at the audacity of their free will?

Are we losing our best and brightest? Do we care? Should we?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.

They must be felt with the heart.

-Helen Keller

For the third year in a row, my spring break and my kids’ did not align. Not a huge deal, but it does ix-nay the family vacation.

Last year, my husband Doo said, “Tough tukus!” and decided to take our four children to Florida anyway. I anticipated a magical time, not having to worry about homework or ear infections or rides to practice, and knowing that the house would be clean and quiet for more than three minutes. But with a dog and a cat driving me bonkers the moment I set foot in the house, and without a carefully orchestrated schedule to keep me on task each day, I found myself stumbling around in a discombobulated state of loneliness and mild depression for the better part of the week. I actually wore two different colors of knee-high boots to school one day, such was my out-of-sorts-ness.

Not wanting a repeat of last year’s footwear debacle, I made several key decisions to help me not only survive spring break, but actually enjoy it. The first was to kennel the dog. The entire time. The second was to binge-watch the entire Sherlock series.

Love it! The third, and perhaps the key to the entire fantabulous week, was to schedule a weekend in Louisville to visit my folks.

The cool part of my trip was that I wasn’t in town for a wedding or a shower or a reunion, nor did I make plans to meet up with old friends. Quality moments with the ‘rents was my primary objective. And even better, this was the first time in 20 years that I stayed with Mom and Dad sans husband, children or any of my four sisters. It was just me, them and one delectable pot roast.

Initially, it was a bit weird. I’m so used to competing with either my siblings (including a twin) or the plethora of grandchildren for a smidge of attention that I felt awkward under the limelight. After about five seconds, though, I acclimated and happily accepted the love. Shopping, pedicures, movies, steak dinners and fireside chats filled the most glorious two days of my forties. No worries, no stress, no nothing . . . just fun, relaxation and Kit Kats out the wazoo. As I packed up to leave, all I could think was, “This might have been my life if I’d been an only child and never married.” Dang!

Consequently, I’ve decided to make this bonding weekend an annual event.

The Fab Four will perform in Carmel at 8 p.m., May 2.

‘Love affair’ ensues: Fab Four to rock Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ron McNeill’s love affair with the Beatles began at an early age.

“I borrowed my older sister’s Beatles records and never gave them back,” he said.

While attending a Los Angeles performance Beatles Fest, McNeill watched a contest for sounding or looking like one of the Beatles. He took note of one singer impersonating Paul McCartney.

“I just couldn’t believe he sounded just like Paul McCartney,” McNeill said.

That was Ardy Sarrf, who won the contest.

“The next year I was so inspired I went up there by myself and won as John Lennon,” McNeill said. “I met up with Ardy a couple years later and we formed a group. It’s been our fulltime job for 17 years. It’s the best job in the world. How many people wouldn’t want to be a Beatle?”

The Fab Four, featuring McNeill and Sarrf, will perform at 8

p.m. on May 2 at The Palladium at The Center for Performing Arts in Carmel.

McNeill said his manager has instructed him not to reveal his age.

“But none of us in the group are old enough to have an original Beatles memory,” he said. “Our drummer Erik’s (Fidel) first glimpse of the Beatles was on a VHS tape from the Ed Sullivan Show. It keeps carrying on through generations and generations.”

Fidel performs as Ringo Starr and Gavin Pring takes on the role of George Harrison. Pring actually comes from Liverpool, England, where the Beatles were formed. The group also has understudies at each spot.

McNeill said the group does about 100 dates per year.

“In the early days, we would play about every day,” McNeill said.

The Fab Four visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland the weekend of April 17-18. Starr was inducted as an individual performer on April 18 and was introduced by McCartney.

“We personally invited both of them to our concert on Fri-

day and they didn’t come,” McNeill said. “But we were hoping if they came to our show, we’d get invited to their show. It didn’t work out that time.”

McNeill said The Fab Four played in front of Hall of Fame building for the morning TV news.

While there are tributes for many other groups, McNeill said everybody loves the Beatles, especially musicians.

“Those are some of the first songs you learn,” McNeill said.

“Obviously the Beatles wrote the best songs in the world so it’s always great to imitate them. This is not a cheesy thing.

We take it very seriously when we’re on stage. We want to get as close to those guys as we can. So that we can mirror their own memories in a way.”

The Fab Four are featured in “Come Together: A Beatles Tribute Documentary,” that was produced and directed by Steve Ison and John Scofield, who are based in Indianapolis. The 2014 documentary features 10 of the estimated 8,000 international Beatles tribute bands.

The Zionsville Tri Kappa fundraiser will be from 6 to 9 p.m. May 2 along Zionsville’s Main Street. event “It’s kind of like a huge progressive dinner,” said Valerie Swack, one of four chairs for the event, adding that it starts on the south side of Main Street. “Then as the evening progresses, the courses progress going north on Main Street.”

There are 17 locations taking part along the Main Street. The proceeds benefit Zionsville Schools, non-for-profit organizations and students.

“We sold out last year and we’re expecting to sell out this year,” Swack said. “We’re expecting well over 250 people to come.”

“For example, Patrick’s (Kitchen & Drinks) has a $10 off a $40 meal,” Swack said. “If you are shopping on Main Street, the coupons alone will pay for your event.”

A similar event was held in Zionsville when the Super Bowl was in Indianapolis in 2012, but had another name.

Quinoa can be a breakfast food, too Commentary by Ceci Martinez Yes, quinoa for breakfast! This delicious Quinoa-Pumpkin Pancakes recipe is a healthy choice year round. This extraordinary grain is resistant to drought, poor soils and high salinity, and it can withstand extreme freezing temperatures. No wonder the Andean people say: “Quinoa is life! Quinoa is the past, the present and the future of humanity.”

Note: Some of the amazing qualities of quinoa: high in protein, contains all the essential amino acids, ideal for those with gluten intolerance, wheat allergies or other digestive disorders, helps build muscle and promote weight loss.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups quinoa flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 3/4 buttermilk or sour milk, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, Maple syrup, 1/2 cup toasted pecans, Whipped cream (optional) Serves: about 17 pancakes Directions: Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon,

ginger and salt into a large bowl. Mix well.

Whisk together the milk, pumpkin, eggs and oil in a medium bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir until blended. Grease a large nonstick frying pan or spray with cooking oil and place on medium heat. When hot, pour 1/4 cup portions of batter into the pan. Pancakes will be ready to flip when you begin to observe bubbles and the underside is brown. Flip and cook the pancake for another 20 to 25 seconds, until the center springs back when pressed. If pancakes buckle when sliding the spatula under them, lightly oil the pan again for the next pancakes. Serve with maple syrup, pecans and whipped cream (optional).

The FAA has tight restrictions on giving people with color vision deficiencies their wings, a topic explained in Life Without Color.

Filmmaker hopes to shed light on living with color blindness

By Michelle Williams • news@currentzionsville.com Filmmaker Robb Jacobson has a vivid story to tell, one that has affected him personally but has impacted others in much deeper ways.

Jacobson, a movies 2008 Zionsville Community High School graduate, is creating a documentary called “Life Without Color” that outlines some of the challenges people with Jacobson color vision deficiencies face, both on a daily basis and long term.

When Jacobson was a freshman at ZCHS, science teacher Steve Cripe introduced his students to the Ishihara Color Vision Test.

Jacobson then discovered his own red-green color-blindness, but he did not think much about it at the time.

“It didn’t change anything for me at that point,” he said.

For people living with color vision deficiencies, driving is one common challenge – one that is possible to overcome. But the career limitations faced by this group can be emotionally shattering. They can be excluded from working in the Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and police departments. They are unable to

work as commercial pilots, astronauts, railway conductors and even electrical engineers.

The film documents the emotional impact on color-blind people who are unable to live out their career aspirations.

“Luckily I fell into a career category that does not require color vision at all,” Jacobson said. “But if someone told me tomorrow that I couldn’t make film or tell stories, I would be devastated.”

Jacobson’s goal for his film is to raise awareness about color-blindness and the medical advances that have been developed to address it. Certain contact lenses have successfully restored color vision in some cases, and Jacobson said that genetic cures exist as well. He wants to help people who have been previously unable to live out a part of their lives because of color-blindness.

funding the film Jacobson is using Kickstarter to raise the funds necessary to complete the film. The film has several sponsors that have initiated matching campaigns. The production team will use Kickstarter to raffle a signed book from professional golfer, Jack Nicklaus, who also lives with color-blindness. Learn more about the film and fundraising activities at LifeWithoutColorFilm.com.

The Foolery looks forward to summer of comic-book movies

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

When comic book movie “The Avengers” came out in 2012, it wasn’t just the biggest movie that summer. It ended up ranking as the third highest grossing film of all time with $1.5 billion worldwide, according to Forbes.

The sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1 and studio analysts are already projecting the movie will make more than $200 million in its opening weekend. And those huge box office numbers should mean increased interest in comic books, which is good news for a small locally-owned shop called The Foolery, at 25 W. Main St., Carmel.

Bob Williams, owner of The Foolery, said he’s adjusted his inventory to cater to which titles are popular nowadays. And he said the Williams growing success of Marvel Comics movies has introduced new readers to the medium.

“As far as the comic books go, before the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie came out, nobody knew who was in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Marvel seems to be able to turn nothing into huge, huge successes,” he said. “So with “The Avengers,” they already have the name, so obviously with what they’re doing it’s just going to continue along the same path.”

“The Walking Dead” – a top rated TV show on AMC – is another popular title that’s been an introduction to comic books for new readers.

Comic book sales may rise this summer with the release of comicbased films. (Photo

Williams said he’s carrying not only Avengers comics, but spinoffs, such as Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and The Hulk.

“We try to focus in on the comic books that are tied to “The Avengers,” he said. “There’s some Ultron comics, which is the major villain in the new movie, so we’re also picking those up.

The pop vinyl figures that come out are extremely popular.

We’re going to carry those as well.”

That first weekend in May should be especially big for The Foolery because Free Comic Book Day is May 2. Williams said he expects to give away hundreds of specially printed free comics. It’s been estimated that Free Comic Book Day generated $3.4 million in free publicity in 2014 nationwide.

Williams also bumps up his business by selling used vinyl

records. When he has a down day in the shop, Williams will also log onto Ebay to sell comic books and records as another source of revenue.

But recently, Williams said his biggest seller, even bigger than superheroes, has been “Star Wars.” Marvel bought Lucas Entertainment and is now releasing new “Star Wars” comic books, which sold over a million direct sale copies for its first issue.

“Star Wars” is a huge title,” he said. “We can’t believe the numbers of people who are strictly buying “Star Wars,” but what’s nice is that they want it all. The “Star Wars” completest comes in and everyone just seems to accept the Marvel comics with open arms.”

Musical hit ‘Xanadu’ comes to Carmel

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

From May 1-17, Actor’s Theatre of Indiana will be performing the musical hit “Xanadu” at the Studio Theatre in the Center for the Performing Arts. ““Xanadu” is a musical fantasy about a young muse who comes to Venice Beach, California to inspire a young artist in his quest for his dream,” Director Billy Kimmel said. “It’s a musical comedy which Actor’s Theatre is known for doing, nominated for several Tony awards. It really has a classic message; it’s basically to believe in one self and to be inspired with your dreams no matter what the cost.”

Kimmel compares “Xanadu” to “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, referring to the musical as a cult classic that is very well known and has lots of followers. It is based off Greek mythology, has great music and involves roller skating.

“Xanadu” is based on the Universal Pictures film. The title sponsor for Carmel’s production is Ogletree Deakins, and the underwriter is The Voice Clinic of Indiana.

Preliminary auditions for the musical hit began last fall in Indianapolis, followed by a full audition in January. Casting decisions were made in February. Rehearsals started early April and will continue every day up until the show. Including set design, props and technical planning, the musical took mor than six months to plan.

Kimmel is recently known for directing “The Divine Sister,” a comedy, which was performed in New York. The last thing he performed in Indianapolis was “Forbidden Broadway.”

“Xanadu” will be performed Wednesdays thru Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. the weeks of performances. Tickets are available online at actorstheatreofindiana.org or through the Center for the Performing Arts box office at 843-3800.

“Come if you want a good laugh, because it’s a fantasy,” Kimmel said. “It’s a musical escape, so come if you want to have a nice evening and leave the theatre singing.”

Collaborative concert hosts first party of the summer

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Get ready to kick off the summer with a full orchestra! On May 22 at 7:30 p.m., the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and the Indianapolis Opera will host a collaborative concert called Crescendo that will take place at White River State Park in Indianapolis.

The collaboration will provide more than just opera, aiming to achieve a fun-filled, family event full of all kinds of activities.

“It is a concert to kick off the summer.

Memorial weekend is a big weekend in Indianapolis so it will be the first party of the summer down in White River Park,” ICO Executive Director Elaine Eckhart said. “It is being presented by the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and the Indianapolis Opera, and it is a sneak peek for each of our seasons in 2015-16.”

The concert will provide a mix of opera, classical and pop music equipped with music, singing and a full orchestra. Eckhart describes it as “rousing.”

This is the first time the ICO and IO have done something like this in Indianapolis. Eckhart as well as IO’s General Director Kevin Patterson hope it will bring some publicity to their groups.

“We’re hoping to start this annual tradition here in Indy,” Eckhart said.

Patterson says the number one objective of the collaboration is for people to have fun, but he hopes that it will raise awareness of their organizations as well.

“For both organizations it’s about creating awareness,” Patterson said. “We are hoping to attract 4,000 – 7,000 people.”

Patterson says there will be something there for everyone, including musical variety, audience participation and even the opportu-

nity to conduct the orchestra that night.

Lawn seating is free and open to the public, but there is also the option of purchasing seat tickets. Those tickets can be accessed through indyopera.org or icomusic.org.

“I’m hoping that people who are not familiar with the ICO or the IO will learn about us and it will increase their curiosity about us,” Eckhart said. “Also, one of my objectives is people will come and have fun, and find the music invigorating or uplifting. It’s not rock, but a full orchestra is pretty impactful.”

March home sales slip in Boone County

Commentary by Jim Litten

With 2,528 pended sales in March in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up real estate 7.7 percent compared to this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, March 2015 pended home sales slipped 1.8 percent compared to March 2014, a decrease of 47 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Three of the nine counties reported increased sales compared to March 2014.

In March, Madison County saw the largest increase in pended home sales which spiked 27.4 percent, raising the number of pended home sales to 144 from 113 in March 2014. Boone County saw the biggest decline, decreasing 33.6 percent compared to March of last year.

As we move into the second quarter, we believe home sales will increase and prices will remain strong. Though March sales were a little sluggish, we still

expect to see activity gradually pick up due, in part, to recent job growth and the start of the spring selling season.

Available homes for sale in the ninecounty region decreased 0.9 percent in March 2015 with 9,868 homes on the market, 93 fewer than in March 2014.

Eight Central Indiana counties experienced varying inventory declines with Madison and Johnson counties seeing the greatest decreases of 13.9 and 10.2 percent, respectively. Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Morgan and Shelby counties also saw declines.

Overall, year-to-date sales prices for the nine-county Central Indiana area increased by 5.4 percent. Boone County experienced a decrease of 3.7 percent.

The average year-to-date sales price for a home in the nine-county area was $170,732.

Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

New firm a national finalist

By Chris Bavender • news@currentzionsville.com A relatively new architecture firm whose partners include two Zionsville residents has been selected as a top five finalachievement ist in the 2015 Architecture Business Plan Competition.

Indianapolis-based DELV Design is spearheaded

by Chris Lake and Cara Weber of Zionsville, along with their partners Jeremy Welu and Amanda Welu. The four Ball State graduates have worked together over the past 15 years in various central Indiana firms. They opened their own company in January.

Lake “In 2014, we recognized a unique moment in our careers and in the market to launch DELV Design. We knew there had to be a better way for the small firm to succeed in our profession and in turn have meaningful impact in the communities around us,” Weber said. “Driven by the purpose of elevating stories through design, we created a new model with three centers: a design studio, an incubator lab and an ideation venue.”

The competition – put on by Charrette Venture Group – is in its second year. The purpose is to promote entrepreneurialism and best practices in the architecture industry. This year there were entries

from 29 states and three Canadian provinces. The winner will receive a $10,000 grand prize.

“I see a prime opportunity for small firms like ours in the marketplace,” Lake said. “This selection to the top-five is hopefully an indicator of future successes not only for us, but for other small firms within the Indiana architecture scene, too.”

Each entrant created an executive summary covering the main points of their business plan, along with a brief video defining their vision. The finalists will pitch their business plans live to a jury May 13 in Atlanta preceding the American Institute of Architects’ national convention. Other finalists hail Weber from New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and New Hampshire.

Weber said the group is happy to shine a positive spotlight on the central Indiana design community.

“We decided to take our creative design skills beyond architecture and to treat our own business plan as a creative design problem,” Weber said.

Learn about the benefits of yoga, acupuncture Compiled by Anne Johnson Emily Paquette, a licensed acupuncturist in Zionsville, is partnering with me to present a monthly workshop on relaxation Yoga + Acupuncture at Simply Yoga. Each workshop includes an acupuncture demonstration for those who are interested in trying a few points.

Below we share the benefits of acupuncture and provide information about what clients can expect.

What can you tell those who are curious about Paquette acupuncture?

Emily: Acupuncture stems from Traditional Chinese Medicine, an ancient healing practice.

Just as nature involves the circulation of air, water, earth and heat, the human body can be understood as a system of circulating energies.

This energy runs through meridians which are pathways up and down the body alongside muscles and tendons. Lying on these meridians are a series of acupuncture points, which can tap into the nervous system and muscular tissues to instigate natural responses in the body. Small filiform needles are used to direct

these responses into a healing pattern.

What can someone expect in an acupuncture appointment?

Emily: To create an individualized treatment, I’ll ask questions about diet, pain, sleeping habits and stress levels, just to name a few.

The patient will lie on the table, fully clothed, and I administer acupuncture needles in various places on the body. Depending on what

next workshop The next Yoga + Acupuncture workshop is from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. May 3 and will focus on seasonal allergies. Participants can bring a friend for free. Register online at www. simplyyogaindy.com.

and who is being treated, the number of needles can range from one to 20. Needles remain in for about 25 minutes, which is a really nice time to relax, even take a nap.

We have to ask, does it hurt?

Emily: Everyone responds to acupuncture differently. Some people can go through a complete session without feeling a thing.

Most commonly, when the needle first goes in it feels like a slight prick, similar to a mosquito bite. That goes away quickly and is replaced by a number of possible sensations, from nothing, to a slight pressure or warmth. All of these are normal.

How do yoga and acupuncture work together?

Emily/Anne: When you are in yoga poses, you are often stretching acupuncture meridians out, too. You can focus on certain poses to reap more of the health benefits of the meridian stretch.

Read the full column at currentzionsville.com Anne Johnson teaches kids, tots, expectant and new mothers yoga at Simply Yoga in Zionsville. As a 200 RYT registered yoga teacher, engineer, and children’s book author, Anne enjoys writing and sharing “adult ideas” in a way that makes them accessible to children.

Dispatches Odd uses for soda – Sugary soda is not good for your health. But did you know it can be good for other things? You can use Coca-Cola in some unusual ways: 1. Pour some on an oil stain in the garage or driveway. Let it sit for an hour, then rinse clean with a hose.

2. Add one can of soda a week to your compost pile to help speed up the decay.

3. Soak grimy oven grates and baking sheets in a Coke bath overnight. The gunk will loosen up and scrub away easily.

Source: MSN.com Avoiding allergens – Now that allergy season is upon us, here are some tips for getting your yard work done without aggravating allergies: 1. Garden on damp days or just after a rainfall. The pollen will have been washed off plants.

2. Pollen counts are lowest in the evening so do yard work then.

3. Be diligent about removing weeds – they are a prime contributor of pollen.

4. If possible, change out of your gardening clothes before you enter the house (in the garage, maybe) then put those clothes straight into the laundry.

What To Expect: Grandparent Visitation Indiana law provides that grandparents may be awarded court-ordered visitation with their grandchildren under the Grandparent Visitation Act (“GVA”). Accordingly, just as a court can grant parents parenting time with their child, a court can similarly grant visitation for a grandparent to spend time with a grandchild. The GVA is intended to strengthen familial bonds of the extended family under certain circumstances.

Following a United States Supreme Court ruling, court-ordered grandparent visitation has been deemed constitutional under certain conditions. Since then, many states, including Indiana, have adopted their own Grandparent Visitation Acts.

Grandparents may only seek visitation with their grandchildren if they have standing. Only in limited circumstances are grandparents able to ask a court to grant visitation rights with their grandchildren. Those circumstances include when: (1) the child’s parent is deceased; (2) the child’s parents have been divorced; or (3) the child was born out of wedlock (if the child’s father has established paternity). If any one or more of these three circumstances are presence, then a Grandparent may seek visitation.

What factors does a court consider in determining whether to award a grandparent visitation? The court weighs several factors, including: (1) a presumption that a fit parent’s decision about grandparent visitation is in the child’s best interests; (2) the “special weight” that must therefore be given to a fit parent’s decision regarding non-parental visitation; (3) “some weight” given to whether a parent has agreed to some visitation or denied it entirely; and (4) whether the petitioning grandparent has established that visitation is in the child’s best interests.

How does the court know if visitation is in the child’s best interest? The court must look at the totality of the circumstances when determining what may be in the child’s best interests. The court may consider a child’s past experiences with a grandparent, the child’s wishes, and the relationship between the parent and the grandparent, etc.

Where do Grandparents file their petition to seek Grandparent Visitation? The petition requesting grandparent visitation should be filed in the county in which the child lives. However, if there has been a divorce between the child’s parents, the petition should be filed with the court that granted the dissolution of marriage.

Can a Great-grandparent seek grandparent visitation? The GVA does not provide great-grandparents the ability to seek grandparent visitation with their great-grandchildren. Currently, however, there is proposed legislation that would amend the GVA to allow great-grandparents the same rights as grandparents under the GVA. Should that legislation pass, great-grandparents would be able to seek visitation with their great-grandchildren.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

SMALL BUSINESS 2015 HENDRICKS COUNTY Luxembourg Palace in Paris (Photo by Don Knebel)

Presented by

Luxembourg Palace: Bawdy No More Commentary by Don Knebel The Luxembourg Palace in Paris, the seat of the French Senate, is the epitome of decorum and elegance. But almost exactly travel 300 years ago, the palace was notorious for debauchery and excess by a member of the royal family.

In 1615, Queen Marie de MĂŠdicis, the mother and regent of 14-year-old King Louis XIII, built a grand new palace for herself, designed to resemble the Pitti Palace in Florence in which she had been raised. The western wing of the Luxembourg Palace, included lavishly decorated rooms for the Queen, complete with 24 commissioned paintings by Rubens. The identical eastern wing included rooms for young Louis whenever he visited from his home in the Louvre Palace. When Louis XIII died in 1643, he was succeeded by Louis XIV, who built his own palace at Versailles.

When Louis XIV died in 1715, his famously promiscuous granddaughter, Marie Louise Élisabeth d›OrlÊans, took up residence in the Luxembourg Palace. Although a recent widow at age 20, she immediately began hosting drunken orgies, glutinous feasts and clandestine lovers. She concealed the resulting pregnancies in her increasing girth, earning the so-

briquet “Princess Chubby.â€? When Voltaire suggested that one of the lovers was her father, Philippe II, Duke of OrlĂŠans and regent of King Louis XV, he was imprisoned in the Bastille, where he completed his play, Oedipus. Oblivious to the irony, Marie Louise, overweight and pregnant, attended the premiere with her father, to the great amusement of Parisians.

Hard living took its toll and she died, again pregnant at age 23, having already borne five children, none of whom survived.

The orgies behind it, the Luxembourg Palace became a royal museum in 1750, displaying art eventually housed in the Louvre Museum. The palace was confiscated from the royal family during the French Revolution. After serving as the residence of Napoleon, it was enlarged in 1835 to accommodate the semi-circular chambers of the French Senate.

Today, young lovers sit alongside the placid pond south of the palace, watching children sail their little boats. The bawdy days of Princess Chubby are long forgotten.

Creating a country farm kitchen with cosmetic upgrades

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING HOME: Located in the Village of West Clay subdivision in West Carmel, the kitchen aesthetics this spec home blueprint for in felt generic and did improvement not fit well with the homeowners’ personal style. The existing half wall separating the kitchen from the living room was not conducive for entertaining guests. “Our cabinets were in good shape, but they made the kitchen feel dark. In addition, the original location of the eat-in island backed up to our dining table causing guests to constantly bump into each other.”

CREATING BETTER FLOW: To create more room for dining and entertaining, the half wall in between the kitchen and living room was removed and became the new location for the eat-in island. This also allowed more natural light to stream into the kitchen. Shelves were added to the original location of the island to showcase the homeowners’ antique treasures.

COUNTRY FARM DESIGN: “Our ultimate goal was to create a country farm look while exploring options throughout the design phase.”

before & after

To help achieve this look, the sink base cabinet was modified to fit a new retro-fit apron front sink. Other classic materials including the new white subway tile backsplash, vintage style sink faucet, bronze cabinetry hardware, chunky decorative island legs and cabinet corbels help individually contribute to the final country look.

LIGHT AND BRIGHT: Once all cabinet modifications were made, the dark perimeter cabinets were painted a crisp white to help brighten up the kitchen. The island cabinetry was painted black to add contrast. LED undercabinet lighting, a new bronze island pendant and a table light installed on dimmable switches help create the perfect ambience.
