New town hall payment fund debate to continue

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council has already approved $10.2 million in funding for a new town hall, but now it is working to building set up a separate fund from which payments for the new, 41,300-square-foot building will be paid.

The fund would serve as a holding fund to deposit revenue from other, previously discussed town sources in order to make payments on the loan, acquired through Old National Bank, which the town will pay back over 20 years at a 2.7 percent interest rate.

The fiscal plan for the project, approved March 7 by the council, calls for mostly using monies that will be available to the town in the future but were not included or available in the 2016 budget.

Those sources of revenue previously discussed included using an annual $283,066 in additional County Option Income Tax revenue that was not calculated in the most recent budget, $115,000 from food and beverage taxes, $55,000 from the Cumulative Capital Development Fund and $94,000 in revenues from the Quail Run TIF area, which includes the site of the current town hall that is expected to be torn down and redeveloped into retail. Other funds could come from Boone County TIF revenues.

At the July 5 council meeting, councilor Tom Schuler spoke against the proposal to Schuler establish the fund, saying the wording “is stripping the financial authority of

(the) council, and saying the mayor can put all the (town’s) revenue in the pot.”

“We did want to leave it broad enough because, at this point, there could be additional sources of revenue that we haven’t anticipated,” Zionsville Town Attorney Heather Willey said.

“It is purposely broad. What we’re trying to accomplish is to allow for a line-item fund where anything that would be deposited in that fund would be separately delineated so when you, as councilors, or members of the public, wanted to go back and review those funds, they wouldn’t be co-mingled.”

Schuler continued, saying, “It says that, ‘the town hall shall deposit in the fund any revenue from other town sources.’ I understand why we

would want to have a separate fund, but what this does not define is where that money is coming from definitively.”

“I think one important thing that you should keep in mind as well is that any funds that you are going to appropriate have to come back to the council (for approval),” Willey responded.

“It says, ‘take monies from any revenue source,’” Schuler said.

“That doesn’t mean take any money anytime you want,” Council President Susana SuSuarez arez said in response.

“Yes it does. It absolutely does,” Schuler said.

“If you can’t read English, I’m sorry, but that’s what it says right here. If you disagree with me, you’re lying to this community.”

“You’re out of order,” Suarez responded.

“You’ve been insulting to members of this council, and you are out of order.”

Suarez then made a motion to adopt the ordinance on first reading, which was approved with a 6-1 vote, followed by a 6-1 vote to approve the ordinance. However, Deputy Mayor Ed Mitro reminded the council that because rules had been suspended, the vote had to be unanimous to move to a second reading.

“I would suggest that we visit this issue at our next meeting to discuss whether we need to then address it with an amendment or bring it back to the council to move it on to a second reading,” Suarez said.

The next Zionsville Town Council meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Aug. 1 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St., Zionsville.

Council abstains from Pittman property rezone

The Zionsville Town Council has decided to take no action with a proposal to remove PUD (planned unit developdevelopment ment) zoning for the Pittman property development, The Farm, at the southwest corner of Michigan Road and Sycamore Street.

Plans for the stalled, 62-acre, mixed-use development are currently tied up in a legal battle between the owners of the property, five siblings of the Pittman family – Steve, Mark, Chad and Scott Pittman and Anne Kelton – which led some members of the council to consider stripping the PUD zoning, reverting the property back to its original residential, single-family zoning (RSF-2), out of fear of the property’s development stakes falling into the hands of developers who may not have the town’s best interest in mind.

But, as announced at its July 5 meeting, the council has decided to stay out of it for now.

“In a subsequent meeting of the town council, we addressed this and decided that we were going to postpone any further action due to the legal decisions that have been taken on this particular project,” Town Council President Susana Suarez said at the meeting. “That has made the council realize that there is no further

activity needed on this, but we will continue monitoring it to be sure the interest of the town (is considered) first and foremost.”

Plans were originally approved for the development by the Zionsville Plan Commission in September 2015, and Kroger had announced plans to build a grocery store on the property, but those plans have been delayed as the family continues with court proceedings to determine how the $90 million proposed project will proceed.

Steve Pittman previously said the siblings have, so far, been unable to agree on who should develop the property, another developer or them.

Suarez said the rezoning proposal will stay in the council’s old business.

The next Zionsville Town Council meeting is 7 p.m. Aug. 1 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St., Zionsville.

Council denies 200 West project

Council OKs $1.2M in re-appropriations

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council has followed suit with the Zionsville Plan Commission in its denial of the 200 West proposed development project – a mixed-use development with singlefamily, multi-family and commercial uses – adjacent to the Village.

“I think from what I’ve picked up in talking to residents and members of the community, everybody’s interested in seeing something, this was just not it,” Town Council President Susana Suarez said. “So, I think there’s interest, and there’s support for the right project, but this one was just a little missing in some places.”

The ordinance, which would have rezoned 4.32 acres near Second and Sycamore Streets from the B-3 Urban Outdoor Business Development Zoning District to a PUD (planned unit development) District, was unanimously voted against.

Wayne DeLong, director of planning and economic development for the town, said the property is the only remaining piece of B-3 land available in the Village.

DeLong also said the current developers still plan to move forward with a similar project that will not require a zoning change to, according to town documents, “maximize the development po-

tential of the site in a manner that is consistent with the gateway concept; provide residents of the Zionsville Village area with additional amenities; and expand the downtown Village area in a manner that is consistent with and sensitive to the existing uses and residents in the Village.”

Development company Fabrico first brought the project before the plan commission in March and held several public meetings within the community, which resulted in some changes to the project, but the changes weren’t enough for members of the plan commission to favor the project, leading to its unanimous disapproval of 0-5.

The next Zionsville Town Council meeting is 7 p.m. Aug. 1 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St., Zionsville.

The Zionsville Town Council, at its July 5 meeting, approved re-appropriations for nine funds within the city’s 2016 budget.

“As we have done in years past, either once or twice a year, government we need to analyze a re-appropriation resolution,” Deputy Mayor Ed Mitro said, addressing the council. “(These are) not additional funds. This is taking money from one line item within our budget and moving it to another line item.”

From it’s original passing of the budget, the council passed the resolution 7-0 to re-appropriate funds not needed for their original appropriations.

Approved re-appropriations • $10,694.16 within Parks and Recreation Fund (Fund 216) for the Zionsville Parks Dept.

• $52,886 within the Golf Course Fund (Fund 275) • $443,000 within the TIF Fund (Fund 490) for the Redevelopment Commission • $44,433 within the Police Operating Fund (Fund 209) for the Zionsville Police Dept.

• $61,962 within the General Fund (Fund 101) for Town of Zionsville Administration • $146,719 within the Fire Operating Fund (Fund 207) for the Zionsville Fire Dept.

• $7,000 within the Fire Equipment Replacement Fund (Fund 208) for the Zionsville Fire Dept.

• $494,168.17 within the Wastewater Fund (Fund 606) for the Zionsville Wastewater Dept.

• $30,424 within the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund (Fund 201) for the Zionsville Street and Stormwater Dept.

Whitestown boy heading to Bible quizzing nationals

By Renee Larr • news@currentzionsville.com Daniel Alt can recite more than 1,200 Bible verses, and he will put his knowledge of scripture to the test achievement July 25 to 29 when he competes in the Junior Bible Quizzing North America Nationals in Branson, Mo. The 10-year-old Whitestown resident and his teammate, Benjamin Stirnemann, placed third in the state, qualifying them to compete against other finalists from the U.S. and Canada at the event.

“This is (Daniel’s) sixth year quizzing and his fifth year going to nationals,” his mother, Karen Alt, said. “There was only one year he didn’t make it. There are probably about 100 teams. Each team can have between two and five kids per team.”

Daniel’s training begins in November with quizzing starting in January. His training regimen involves daily practice.

“He has memorized this year 267 verses word-for-word verbatim. He reviews his verses every day. He quotes them to me

daily. He’s had to memorize unique words in the Bible. If you give him a unique word, he can recall the location of that unique word and quote the verse just by being given that word,” Karen said. “He does a lot of prep and work with that, above and beyond just memorizing the verses.”

Once the national event is complete, Daniel will have a break until November when he starts learning verses again. He and his teammate attend Liberty Tabernacle in New Whiteland.

New fire truck a workhorse

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Part ladder truck, part pumper and part emergency medical service vehicle, the Zionsville Fire Dept.’s Ladder 93 town combines multiple uses into the first quint (quintuple combination pumper) in town. The quint combines the features of a ladder truck with an engine.

“Not only does it meet our daily needs but is a balance of industry standards,” said ZFD Deputy Chief Brian Miller.

The 137-foot ladder is reported to be the tallest aerial in service in North America, but more importantly, for the needs of the ZFD, it reaches 126 feet to the side. Because many Zionsville homes are set back more than 60 feet from the curb additional length is needed for the combination of vertical and horizontal reach so that firefighters can get to roofs to more effectively fight fires.

“Our biggest concern, and one of the things we want to make sure we’re able to do, is reach those properties that are commercial or residential,” Miller said.

The ladder is mounted at the end of the truck instead of the middle of the body, where most ladders are located, allowing a 360-degree reach and better maneuverability. The

ZFD’s new quint reaches 137 feet. (Photo by Heather Lusk)

quint will replace a 95-foot ladder truck that has been retired due to age.

The truck has a 500-gallon tank, storage for EMS and tools for light extrication, should someone become trapped at an auto accident.

It took two years to complete, starting with a ZFD committee specifying the ergonomics and organization of the truck and other details such as green lights up the ladder, multiple Zionsville logos, and remembrances of firefighter-paramedic Cody Richardson, who died in 2013.

The truck will be ceremonially pushed by firefighters into the station during a special public dedication ceremony at 5 p.m. July 13 at Station 93.

Waste district marks 40 years

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Every household or business with plumbing creates some sort of waste, but most people don’t pay attention to anniversary what happens after it’s flushed away. Like any wastewater-management utility company, the Clay Township Regional Waste District is paying very close attention, and this year marks its 40-year anniversary of service. To celebrate, the CTRWD held an open house June 29.

Officially established in 1975, the CTRWD, 10701 N. College Ave. in Indianapolis, is in charge of maintaining its customers’ sewer systems, which involves the treatment and recycling of local wastewater. Since its inception, the organization has seen massive growth in its customer base and operations.

“We’ve grown to over 14,000 customers, which would be the west half of Carmel and part of Zionsville,” CTRWD Utilities Director Andrew Williams said. “We’ve put a lot of money into projects. I think in the last 10 years we’ve put at least $34 million into capital projects to keep upgrading both for new growth and for our existing customers.”

Even with its continued updates and

growth, the plant still manages to maintain the second lowest utility rates in Hamilton County.

Aside from physical updates over the years, the CTRWD has focused a lot on its public outreach.

“One of the things we’ve worked on is really educating the public,” Williams said. “We have a pretty extensive outreach.”

In addition, the CTRWD interacts with local Boy Scout troops, schools and even has a wild life sanctuary on its plant Zionsville.

“We have about 20 acres out there,” Williams said.

A salute to air conditioning Commentary by Ward Degler A big round of applause for the SackettWilheims Publishing Company of Brooklyn, N.Y. It seems in 1902 they got plain talk sick and tired of their printing jobs getting messed up from high humidity and decided to do something about it.

What they did in desperation was hire a young, Cornell University engineering graduate by the name of Willis Carrier to install a wild and fanciful off-the-charts system he had concocted that he claimed would control humidity.

It worked, and air conditioning was born.

Carrier’s brainchild came one foggy morning while he was waiting for a train. He realized, standing on the platform in the mist that cool air can’t hold as much moisture as warm air.

So, if he could reduce a room’s air temperature, the moisture would turn to fog, which he could then shuttle to the outside with a fan.

The printing company experiment had a couple of unexpected results. Not only did Carrier’s system reduce the humidity, it cooled the air. And the fan circulated it, keeping it fresh. It is likely that during the overheated summer of 1902, the happiest employees in New York worked at the Sackett-Wilheims Publishing Company.

It took a while for the rest of the world to join the AC revolution, however, probably because each system had to be meticulously designed and built by hand. The first in-home unit was a one-of-a-kind behemoth built in

1914 for the Gates mansion in Minneapolis. It was seven feet high, six feet wide and 20 feet long.

The first window ACs showed up in 1931, but it wasn’t until the 1950s when the entire world was rebounding from the war and intent on keeping up with the Joneses that in-home cooling hit it big.

By contrast, the first air-conditioned car was the 1939 Packard. Chrysler followed in 1953 with Chrysler Airtemp, which set the standard for auto AC for years to come. Still, it was another two decades before factory installed AC became the norm.

Our family wagon was un-air conditioned Fords until Dad bought a Buick in 1956. My first air-conditioned car was a used 1975 Cadillac.

When I was a kid living in southern Missouri, the only store in town that had air conditioning was Finch’s drug store. We used to enjoy hauling our sweat-soaked bodies into Finch’s and feeling our tee shirts freeze. Old man Finch didn’t like loiterers, however, so we always pooled our pennies to buy something.

Of course, we took our sweet time deciding.

Today I go nonchalantly from air-conditioned house to air-conditioned car. But sometimes I offer a salute of gratitude to that long-forgotten publishing company.

Photographer Tom Casalini captures individuality through photographs

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Individuality is the passion of a portrait; at least that is the belief of Zionsville photographer Tom Casalini. It is displayed not only through his website, but cover story also in his work.

Casalini specializes in portrait photography, but unlike a standard photographer purely shooting to make subjects look aesthetically appealing, Casalini’s primary purpose is to capture his subject’s personality.

“It’s not about a likeness of them or it’s not about what somebody else thinks they should look like,” Casalini said. “That’s what makes them beautiful, because they are simply who they are whether it’s an individual or whether it’s a couple. They understand that it really is about them.”

In order to capture the true, personal nature of his subjects, Casalini says the key is to listen to his clients and gain their trust, which can be difficult at first.

“I’m a very good listener,” Casalini said.

“That’s probably what I do best, because by listening, that gives me the opportunity to hear what they’re actually saying and not what they think they should be saying. It’s just the opposite when they come in at first.

They tell me what they think I want to hear, and then once we get past that, then the trust level starts to increase.”

Casalini shoots his clients in black and white as opposed to color. The black-and-

white effect adds a sentimental aspect to his work.

“I’ve been doing black-and-white now for the past 20 years,” he said. “I think the emotion is a little stronger in black and white.

They become timeless in a sense that we don’t have to worry about fashion, we don’t have to worry about color. It takes away visual distraction.”

Picking portraits

Having a studio in Zionsville’s Village for more than four decades, Casalini has had the opportunity to build up his portfolio.

“My concentration has been wide throughout my career,” Casalini said. “I started out in

portrait work, and then I migrated into commercial work. I was active in the commercial business for 25 years, and I had reps in Chicago, New York and L.A.” After his 25 years in the commercial business, Casalini felt it time to move on to what he loved most – portrait photography.

“I really started to burn out on it, so I decided to slowly concentrate back on my portrait business,” Casalini said. “I had been spiritually asking for a project that I could work on that would redirect me back to my portrait work, and it came to a job I was asked to do here in Indianapolis.”

At the time, Indianapolis Power and Light was working to have Medal of Honor recipients as parade marshals. Casalini was working with a local advertising company to do a poster to honor the recipients at the Indianapolis 500.

“I pulled up in front of my studio, and I stopped to get out of my car and thought, ‘Here’s what I’ve been asking for. I’m going to go do portraits of the Medal of Honor recipients,’” Casalini said.

It was through his idea Casalini would come to create his first published book. Casalini said he hoped to photograph not just the men with the medal, but the men behind the medal.

“For three years I traveled the country and photographed the Medal of Honor recipients.

By looking at them as ordinary guys, I was interviewing them in a way that has not ever been done before in the Medal of Honor Society,” Casalini said. “It’s been a very successful

book, and it’s helped change a lot of lives in a very positive way. It’s helped people open up because they’re not pictured in a military context and gave the reader an opportunity to see that they are just normal people.”

The book, titled “Ordinary Heroes,” led him to travel with the Speakers Bureau as a keynote speaker for nearly 10 years. Since then Casalini has gone on to create other impactful projects, such as Portraits of the Human Spirit, an exhibit on display at two St.Vincent hospitals.

Today, Casalini remains at his Zionsville studio continuing to do what he loves, which he says he will not be stopping anytime soon.

“Presently, I have a couple other projects,” Casalini said. “As my career moves forward I’m nowhere near retirement. I feel blessed to have an opportunity to tell more stories.”

setting up in zionsville Growing up in Logansport, Casalini discovered Zionsville after his car broke down in town. After attending Indiana University and graduating from the New York School of Photography, Casalini spent some time in Atlanta, Ga. In 1973 he returned to Indiana and remembered Zionsville, where he eventually set up shop.

“I was looking at a space to open my studio in,” Casalini said. “Because I’m from a small town, I didn’t want to be in a place like Broad Ripple, that at that time was really popular. I really liked Zionsville and started looking for space.”

Dance reflection

FR O M T HE b ac k s h o p

Smelling a rat, seeing a snake?

And now it gets hyper-interesting. We assume you know that the FBI decided last week that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) was “extremely careless” in the way she handled classified emails on a private server (Oopsie!), but, hey, there isn’t enough for a recommendation to the Department of Justice for criminal charges to be brought against the former secretary of state. “As the Secretary has long said, it was a mistake to use her personal email and she would not do it again. We are glad that this matter is now resolved,” said FBI Director James Comey. Is it? Not if you ask the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, the name-calling flamethrower.

He immediately opined on social media that the “system is rigged” and was calling for a special prosecutor. One wag on Twitter noted that as the announcement was being made, Clinton and President Barack Obama were together on the campaign trail, and that if anyone believed that was a coincidence, one would be a fool. Perhaps. We’re trying to make sense of the decision. Brought down to our level, which is way, way down the ladder, does that mean if we’re pulled over for doing 45 mph in a 30 mph zone, we simply tell the constable, “I apologize, officer, but I didn’t intend to speed.” The announcement came the day after we celebrated independence from tyrannical elites. We’re not sure that fully is the case. Of course, as we’ve written before, if anyone thought Clinton would get more than a hand slap, we have some south-central Florida real estate for you. If interested, you really should have an affinity for Burmese pythons.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Something for anything Commentary by Terry Anker We all want to help. It is human nature; or at the very least, we still can claim it among the qualities in the better part of our selves.

When someone else is suffering, it gives us an opportunity to reach out in support of their need. They get a little boost, and we get to feel good about ourselves. Who loses in that equation, right? Moreover, life teaches that we are on the upward slant of life one minute and on the downward the next. So, our aid somehow guarantees that someone will help us when our fortunes are down.

Let’s call it an investment in the Karma bank.

Whatever the motivation, self-interest or altruism that leads us down the path, we all find ourselves, at one point or another, in a giving state of mind. We give money. We give time. We give advice. We give lots of advice. We give support. We give a hand up.

We give. We give. We give. The only thing, perhaps better said – the only question that

we might consider, is are we giving what’s needed? Are we giving what’s wanted?

Some people think that doing anything is the same as doing something. Don’t misunderstand the instinct. It is good to share – especially if by choice and not government decree. But when we confuse the general for the specific, are we really serving? If water is needed and we send coins, is thirst quenched? If tough love is the order of the day, do our sweet words fit the bill?

Are we simply doing anything instead of doing something – the thing? If we focus on our own actions instead of the needs of others, are we really serving our desire to be valued rather than the legitimate requirement of the target of our largess?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK So long as you can sweeten another’s pain, life is not in vain.

– Helen Keller

The 2016 dance season is over, culminating in a six-day trip to Myrtle Beach for nationals. So much to say, only humor 350 words to convey. Now only 325. Here we go.

Girls just want to have fun. On the drive home, my daughter lamented that she had just spent a week at the ocean but only swam in it twice. When I reminded her that she was there to dance, not frolic on the beach, she announced: “That’s just stupid. Why not just have it in Indianapolis?”

Fair enough. And much closer.

When left to their own devices, girls do have a lot of fun. Starting dance parties on the strip with sketchy passengers in idling cars; writing and producing a highly questionable but immensely entertaining rap song; sneaking un-choreographed moves into long-rehearsed routines … these kooky kids have imaginations after all!

All dance moms are not created equal. I realized about halfway through the trip that I was not part of the popular crowd. Try as I might to hang with “the fun moms,” I cherish alone time. I love going to bed at 9 p.m. And by God, if I’m near a beach, even one with a conspicuous absence of sand dollars, I’ll be on it. I know I missed out on several juicy conversations, social power walks and delightful bottles of white, but this ginger dance mom earned a C+ tan and a renewed acceptance of self.

Not all dance teams are created equal either. Our girls danced well, but had their booty shorts handed to them by larger, more competitive teams. It was somewhat of a rude awakening for me but also confirmed what I already knew. We’re with a studio who puts fun and friendship first, not perfection. And I’m good with that.

I have a terrible short-term memory.

I witnessed a two-car traffic accident one morning and was the sole pedestrian witness. When the cop interviewed me, I couldn’t recall any details. None. “So, you didn’t really see anything, ma’am?” Nope. I guess not.

But I do know a good rap song. Peace out.

RE A DERS V I EW Invited or not, Walmart is coming Editor, Thanks for your article on the ongoing Walmart issue. It saddens me to see the planning commission and this mayor not appeal this judge’s decision and let Walmart go forward. Can we not make better use of this land instead of letting them build another ubiquitous Walmart? Isn’t there one just three miles away already? Don’t they

get the hint? No, they’ll just sue the town!

But then again, Walmart is going to do what Walmart wants to do … and the community, the residents and businesses of Zionsville be damned. Invited or not, we’re coming to your town.

Asleep at the wheel Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I have tried many things over the years to get a better night’s sleep. I once took Ambien, but when I woke up in the mornhumor ing, I discovered I had mown the entire front lawn in the dark. I tried allergy medicine, but it made me a little goofy. Growling at myself in the mirror isn’t normal.

Why do I sleep well on a bus? Nothing about a bus lends itself to sleeping. The seats are hard, the space is cramped, and it’s usually hot.

I decided to simulate the conditions on a bus that make me nod off. I asked my wife to talk to me like a tour guide, to drone on about how the Greeks built the Acropolis or how the Romans constructed the Appian Way. Mary Ellen felt dumb talking to me from the foot of the bed. I asked her to rock the bed back and forth so I’d feel like I was really on the bus. That’s when she got off the bus and slept on the couch.

I took a hard-back, metal folding chair and sat on it next to my bedroom window while

bouncing up and down like I was on a bus.

But I was still wide awake after 30 minutes.

Maybe it’s the sun that makes me drowsy, so I shone a floor lamp directly in my eyes. No luck. What else could I do? Mary Ellen wouldn’t let me invite 30 strangers over to sit around the bed.

Wait! The bus trips are during the day, and I’m trying to sleep at night. So I got back into my folding chair at high noon. The sun was pouring in on my face.

Suddenly I felt myself getting sleepy, very sleepy. Zzzz…

It worked. I slept from noon until 8 p.m., sitting straight up in the chair, leaning against my bedroom window. My insomnia was cured.

Two hours later, it was time for bed. I got under the covers and just couldn’t fall asleep.

Go figure.

I tried allergy medicine, but it made me a little goofy. Growling at myself in the mirror isn’t normal.

Take your clothes outside and spray them. This lasts for about a week. Also, products with eucalyptus oils can be used on your skin as repellants. Finally, do a tick check when you come inside. If you find a tick, carefully pull it straight out without squeezing it. A tick removal device works best for this.

Commentary by Jim Litten Approximately 1,000 more homes have sold in central Indiana during the first five months of 2016 than the same time period last year, according to data from real estate the 13-county region F.C. Tucker tracks. In a monthly comparison, approximately 3,059 homes pended in May 2016, which was a 3 percent increase over May 2015. Homes priced above $300,000 contributed to the majority of last month’s growth in pended sales.

In Boone County, pended sales are up 12.7 percent year to date and up 6.4 percent month to date. Approximately seven more homes pended throughout the county than May 2015. The average sales price rose 2.7 percent compared to last year, now at $276,316. Meanwhile, inventory tightened 5.2 percent year to date. • In Zionsville, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 3.1 percent to $390,171. • Inventory moved at a slightly slower pace in Zionsville in May 2016. Overall, homes sold in 79 days – one more day than this time last year. • Buyers in Zionsville had fewer options available to them.

Last month, 195 homes were available for sale – 12 fewer homes compared to May 2015. • Pended home sales grew in Zionsville. In May 2016, 62 homes sold – an increase of three homes compared to May 2015. • Of the pended home sales in Zionsville last month, three were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; six were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 27 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 18 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; and eight were priced $100,000 to $199,999.

May was a busy month for our sales associates, but the demand exists for more homes to be on the market. Central Indiana has approximately 2.3 months of inventory. Typically, if inventory falls below four months, we know it’s a seller’s market.

Indy Film Fest: Amy’s top five Commentary by Amy Pauszek The 2016 Indy Film Fest kicks off this week on July 14 and runs through July 24. It’s one of my favorite film festivals because many of the films shown will be havmovies ing their world premiere here in Indiana. Two amazing films are slated for opening and closing nights, “Little Men” and “Morris From America.” Trust me, you won’t want to miss these exciting films, the after parties or the chance to meet indie filmmakers, producers and actors from around the world. As a local film producer, I love seeing what’s hot, fresh and who is making waves in the indie film industry. The Indianapolis Museum of Art is hosting the festival again this year. Two films I selected for my top five were actually filmed in Indiana and the rest are films that will leave the audience with questions and/or asking for more. Indy Film Fest Executive Director Craig Mince of Carmel said he believes “the core group who help run the festival are a team of people who believe in the unifying power of film - and they dedicate an unbelievable number of hours to prove that commitment.”

Experience the Indy Film Fest and help make filmmakers’ from around the world dreams come true. For more, visit indyfilmfest.org.

“Under the Bridge,” a documentary about homelessness in Indianapolis will be playing at the Indy Film Fest. (Submitted photo)

1. “Under the Bridge: The Criminalization of Homelessness” A documentary shot in downtown Indianapolis is about a tent city under a bridge, a man named Maurice and the criminalization of homelessness in the United States. The unofficial “mayor” of the Davidson Street camp, Maurice is an older, dreadlocked black man who has dropped out of normal society to minister to the homeless. His camp based under a railroad track becomes a real community, supported by church volunteers, until police and bulldozers close in to shut it down.

This film makes the audience think about how we deal with the homeless and how this can happen to any of us when we least expect it.

2. “A Sicilian Dream” This is a documentary about the famous Targa Florio, a Sicilian mountain road race that, in 1906, gave birth to a new

era of motorsport that is still going strong today. Indianapolis 500 race fans will love this film, which has dramatic re-enactments with a touch of modern contributors who relate and explain the history of these epic races. The film is in English but has some Italian subtitles. It’s interesting, witty and has beautiful Italian cinematography – an IFF must see.

3. “70 Acres in Chicago, Cabrini Green” Filmed over the course of 15 years, the documentary film asks the question, “What happens when a mixed-income housing experiment collides with reality?” The film centers on three public-housing residents and how their lives are turned upside down when their community is torn apart in the name of progress. Cabrini is being demolished as part of a national plan to replace public housing with mixed-income communities. Critics contend that the motivation is economic gain, as public housing’s prime real estate is too valuable for the lowincome black communities that live there. The film chronicles neighborhood upheaval on Chicago’s most hotly contested 70 acres of land. This film makes the audience open their eyes to situations that happen every day to low-income communities and their families.

4. “Reparation” A powerful psychological thriller shot in Indiana about a troubled Air Force veteran who finds clues to his buried memories in his young daughter’s art, while confronted by a stranger looking for answers to his past. The story, acting, music, make-up and cinematography make this film come alive. This is a feature film that leaves the audience wondering about loyalty, friendships and the call of duty. This film is award-winning and a must-see.

5. “Search Engines” Sanity and relationships are put to the test when mysterious circumstances force a family to survive the annual American Thanksgiving holiday without their cell phones. This is a fun, indie film with a great cast including Joely Fisher, Natasha Greyson Wagner, Daphne Zuniga and the hysterical “Search Engines,” on screen at the Indy Connie Stevens. I Film Fest, is the perfect film to see for a girls night out. (Submitted photo) thought this film was funny, and it reminds us that we may just depend on social media and our electronic devices a bit more than we really need to.

‘Indiana Moon’ chosen as anthem

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hunter Smith is a Texan by birth and now a Hoosier at heart. bicentennial “I left Texas when I was 17, so I’ve been here well over half my life,” said the 38-year-old Smith, who was a punter for Notre Dame’s football team before being drafted by the Indianapolis Colts.

“I met my wife and most of my best friends and my band (in Indiana). This is what we call home. This is where we want to live and die.”

So, it’s not odd the Zionsville resident’s “Indiana Moon” has been chosen as the anthem Indiana bicentennial celebrations.

“What an honor,” Smith said. “It’s not just a song that will be played a couple of times. It’s part of the history of the bicentennial.”

The Hunter Smith Band will play during the Indiana Bicentennial Hoosier Homecoming Oct. 15 and the Sunday’s Inspirational Celebration at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis on Dec. 11, Indiana’s official 200th birthday.

Smith said his song was discussed for a few months and then recently confirmed as the anthem.

One of Smith’s guitar players, Ethan Ehrstine, had the idea for a song called “Indiana Moon.”

“He brought it to me, and I wrote the song,” Smith said.

“As the principal songwriter, guys bring me ideas, and we develop them.”

Inspiration struck Smith when bouncing around on the trampoline with his kids and the moon was bright.

The song is on the band’s second album “Story,” released in 2015. The band will play at Back Porch Revival concert in Iowa City, Iowa, Aug. 27, opening for Blake Shelton.

If you’re looking for a new way to entertain the kids on a Monday morning, Carmel Clay Parks and Recremusic ation hosts the Summer Kids Concerts series, which runs until Aug. 1. The hour-long concerts, either at West Park or River Heritage Park, start at 10 a.m. every Monday.

“I think moms and kids are always looking for new things to get involved in. It’s a great way to expose young children to the arts,” said Traci Broman, events supervisor.

Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation pairs with Anderson & Beck, a booking company, to schedule the talent. There is a different act each week, which can range from a solo performer to a group of four. This summer includes Ruditoonz, Island Breeze Duo, Tides Duo, Kid Kazooey and Jump & Hop. Along with their songs, performers bring a variety of instruments and even a few dance moves. Broman said the entertainers often interact with the audience to get them on their feet. “(The performers) have a dance they teach the kids to go along with the songs

or hand motions or they do the limbo,” Broman said.

And the best part: it’s free. Kona Ice is present at each concert selling shaved ice and a portion of their profits benefit the parks and recreation department so it can continue to offer low cost events.

Those interested are free to show up at the event or register in advance online. Broman said the concerts are rather popular so it is best to show up early for parking purposes.

Brown’s new musical.

The performance gave the attending guests a chance to see a musical in the making and have the opportunity to give suggestions and/or raise questions for the cast, and most importantly Brown. The verdict was clear the audience loved “Hoagy” and gave it a welldeserved standing ovation. I truly was amazed by the works of Brown and, as always, ATI never disappoints. Keep your eyes peeled for the new musical “Hoagy On My Mind,” it’s a hit.

Where’s Amy looks forward to seeing you at the 2016-17 ATI season. For more, visit atistage. org.

Fairfield Four to play July 16

2016 – 2017 season

SATURDAY, JULY 23 AT 7PM AT THE PALLADIUM

Joe Thompson has deep roots in The Fairfield Four.

His cousins, brothers Harold music and Rufus Carrethers, founded the a cappella gospel group at Fairfield Baptist Church in Nashville, Tenn., in 1921.

“I’m 81 now, and I was in high school when they first got me involved,” Thompson said.

This is the third generation of The Fairfield Four, which will play at 8 p.m. July 16 at The Warehouse, 254 First Ave. SW., Carmel.

“All the guys in the group have all been Bible-based guys,” said Thompson, a bass singer. “They’ve had five or six preachers in the group. We keep God in the midst of everything we do.”

The group plays at a variety of venues, but The Warehouse’s living-room concert style suits it.

“We just want to make sure we can reach out and touch our audience,” said Larrice Byrd, a baritone. “We really believe in engaging our audience.”

Bobbye Sherrell, 63, was the last one to join the group five years ago.

“They made it comfortable and easy for me to come in,” said Sherrell, a tenor. “They accepted me, and we all had the same frame of mind in form of places of worship and the same songs. We are a family now.”

Byrd, the youngest at 62, and Levert Allison, 78, a tenor, joined at the same time seven years ago.

“We have very good chemistry,” Allison said.

In 2015, the group won a Grammy Award for Best Roots Gospel Album, “Still Rockin’ My Soul.”

The group will play several cuts from that album “and all the stuff the generations have done,” Allison said.

Live and love life outdoors Commentary by Randy Sorrell Finally, the technology-induced drought for outdoor living has been reversed!

Our children initiated this design fun-sucking drought fueled by all things FANG (Facebook/ Amazon/Netflix/Google). They preferred to be nailed in front of a screen chatting with “friends”, binge-watching the latest series and Googling the world instead of climbing a tree or playing kickball in the church lot.

Sadly, we followed them indoors and the drought commenced.

Hummus. Dates. Wine.

Now that we have improved our habits and pushed the kids outside, sales of hummus, gulping wine, books and outdoor entertaining ware are off the charts, smiles have returned and our pasty skin shows sign of life. A recent report notes that the average size home built over the last two years has decreased by 10 percent to allow enough space for outdoor patio living.

We are heading in the right direction.

A classic ipe wood deck gracefully opens onto a natural flagstone patio packed with earthy rich tones that accentuates the leafy surrounds. These irregular 36”x36” slabs of flagstone solidly anchor the backyard and hosts gobs of gatherings around the oversized, gas fed, fire feature.

The woodsy setting set the tone for the design and somewhat limited the plant pallet, yet plenty of low maintenance color occurs four seasons of the year. Yes, all four seasons of interest.

Establishing ethos Commentary by Jordan Fischer How does one become a Grammar Guy? In my case, I graduated with honors (Latin honors!) with a dualgrammar guy degree in journalism and English, I was the managing editor of a newspaper, and I knew what an interrobang was. Also, when the job opened up, I asked.

How does one establish ethos with their audience? See above.

Whatever I go on to say now – as long as it’s about grammar – I’ve foregrounded a sense of expertise and authority on my part.

That is what Aristotle dubbed ethos – one of the three modes of persuasion.

If you read last week’s column, you know we’re talking about rhetoric and the art of persuasion on the campaign trail. And in our (still presumptive, as of this writing) Democratic and Republican candidates, we see two very different methods of establishing ethos.

Hillary Clinton tends to lead first with her credentials and experience – what Aristotle called phronesis. Consider this passage from his “Nicomachean Ethics:” “…Prudence (phronesis) includes a knowledge of particular facts, and this is derived

from experience, which a young man does not possess; for experience is the fruit of years.”

In her opponent, Donald Trump, we see more of an emphasis on Aristotle’s two other aspects of ethos: arete (excellence/virtue) and eunoia (goodwill).

Trump is, by nearly all accounts, a supremely gifted self-promoter, which is key to establishing ethos. Consider this quote from a speech in December: “I went to an Ivy League school,” Trump said, a point he frequently brings up to establish his excellence. “I’m very highly educated. I know words. I have the best words.”

Trump also repeatedly points to his successful business ventures, his great personal fortune and his trouncing of his Republican rivals as proof of his virtue (arete). Ethos.

Ethos. Ethos.

In another skillful rhetorical move, the New York real estate mogul in June both tried to damage Clinton’s perceived goodwill with voters (eunoia) while building his own. Referencing Clinton’s campaign slogan, “I’m with her,” Trump told a crowd on June 22, “You know what my response to that is? I’m with you, the American people.”

It’s worth noting that establishing ethos doesn’t happen just because you say you’re great – there has to be some grounding in reality. Trump can promote his image as a dealmaker because of his successes in business.

Clinton can frame herself as the foreign policy expert because of her vast experience as a first lady, senator and secretary of state. Me claiming either of those things? Not as persuasive. That’s why I stick to snarky grammar columns.

Coming up next week: “Moving mountains, and minds, with pathos.”

The eastern end of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece (Photo by Don Knebel)

Illusions of the Parthenon Commentary by Don Knebel The Parthenon, atop the Athens Acropolis, represents the epitome of classical architecture and the inspiration for buildtravel ings around the world, including the United States Supreme Court Building. Its timeless appearance results from a number of clever optical refinements reflecting the perceptiveness of ancient Greek architects.

Pericles, the great Athenian leader, erected the Parthenon from 447 to 432 B.C. to celebrate the accomplishments of the citizens of Athens, then at the peak of its power. The 228-footlong by 101-foot-wide building sheltered a colossal gold and ivory statue of Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. Because Athenians did not enter the Parthenon, but observed it from outside, architects designed the exterior to communicate visual perfection by taking into account the limitations of human perception. As a result, the Parthenon has no straight lines.

To counter the perception that vertical parallel lines bow inwardly, the middles of the Parthenon’s marble columns are slightly wider

than their ends. Because columns set against the bright sky appear smaller than those against a darker background, the diameters of the corner columns are about six centimeters larger than those of other columns.

To overcome the perception that horizontal lines sag, the Parthenon’s lintels curve slightly upward. Because a triangular pediment makes columns below it appear to bend outward, the Parthenon’s columns are closer to each other at their tops than at their bases.

The Parthenon was severely damaged in 1687, when gunpowder stored in it by the Ottomans exploded during a battle with the Venetians. In 1931, a full-scale replica of the Parthenon, based on ancient descriptions and including a magnificent statue of Athena, was completed in Centennial Park in Nashville, Tenn.
