The Zionsville Plan Commission voted July 17 to continue discussions on rezoning land formerly proposed to be development the site of 200 West— a mixed-use project denied by the town council last year. The commission pushed back voting on the issue until Aug. 21 to allow the landowners more time to consider selling options. The potential rezoning is for three plots of land at 125, 165 and 235 W. Sycamore St. from B2 and B3 commercial districts to the urban village business district (VBD). Attorney Roger Burrus requested an extra 30 to 60 days for his client, who owns part of the land in question, to consider options for selling it. “She’s just trying to sell her property, and the town wants nothing more than for this property to be developed,” Burrus said. Burrus said he wants to return Aug. 21 with a clear deal and a better idea of how developers would use the land. Town councilor Josh Garrett previously said VBD zoning would be preferred because nearby residents had concerns about the types of businesses and buildings allowed under B2 and B3. If the area is rezoned, the requirements would change. B2 commercial districts allow retail storefronts and apartments that are often meant to spur development in areas with low retail demand. B3 commercial districts allow shopping centers, large stores and retail store-

fronts, often built along major streets. If the land were to be rezoned to VBD, commercial uses would still be allowed, but certain businesses, such as heavy manufacturing, would not. Buildings also must be shorter in VBD districts. Burrus said he does not see rezoning as necessary because such businesses would likely not choose the area. “Those offices or businesses haven’t come up in the past, so why would they now?” he said. Land in B2 and B3 districts can be more attractive for developers because of the height restrictions of VBD zoning, he said. “In order to have a viable project, many

developers feel you would need the ability for taller buildings that would accommodate three floors,” he said. But for John Tousley, a Zionsville Village Residents Association member and Zionsville resident since 1978, rezoning is the best option. Although B2 or B3 may be more lucrative for developers, Tousley said rezoning benefits residents. In addition to rezoning, Tousley said restrictions against specific types of businesses, such as taverns, liquor stores and night clubs, would be ideal for the area. Zionsville Director of Planning Wayne DeLong said the staff would be open to discussing such restrictions in the future. Above all, Tousley said the reason for rezoning is to prevent projects on the property that don’t align with what residents want. The 200 West project included at one time a proposed 28,500-square foot, three-story commercial building that was estimated to be 10 feet higher than normally allowed for B3 commercial districts. Commissioner Larry Jones said the property has been the subject of conversations for a long time, and the town is eager to have it developed, but that 200 West plans were too vague to be successful. David Franz, ZPC president, said rezoning the land to VBD might mean the land would be developed more quickly because of support from the community. But he said postponing discussions until Aug. 21 would serve no purpose. In the end, all commissioners but Franz voted in favor of a continuance until Aug. 21.

24 homes proposed to replace trailer park By Christine Fernando new@currentzionsville.com The Zionsville Plan Commission voted July 17 to give developers a chance to refine details for a rezonplan commission ing request for 13 acres to allow the construction of a new residential area. The commission granted the continuance until Aug. 21 to allow developers more time to hear from the public and make design changes required by the fire department. The site at 410 S. 4th St. and 500 S. Main St., which is near the Village, is home to a trailer park known as The Cove or Zionsville Trailer Park. MAP 1861 Development, LLC has requested a rezoning from residential village to planned unit development. The proposed concept

includes 24 detached homes of two or three stories. The homes are expected to sell for $400,000 to $500,000. Developers said the homes would embrace open space, outdoor living with large decks and ample greenspace, all aimed at emptynesters and older couples. Possible trail connections to the Village area and Zionsville Rail Trail would increase walkability. Developers said that less than 25 percent of the 13 acres would be built on, in part to create a buffer between homes and areas

that are prone to flooding. Another reason is to preserve 10 acres of greenspace, including a large pond and wooded areas. Commissioner Mary Grabianowski had some concerns about the plan. Although developers said the trailer park is failing, there are still eight trailers and one home on-site. Grabianowski said she knows some of the trailer park residents and is concerned about where they would move when construction begins, especially with the lack of affordable housing in Zionsville. Developers assured her that residents would receive a 120-day notice if the plan is approved, that they had notified residents that change was coming and that they are working closely with residents. Commissioner Larry Jones raised concerns about the site plan, which he said did not include clear dimensions.

Council talks roads, K-9 Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council met July 17 to swear in a new member, fund a police K-9 replacement and expand the scope of a road project. Read the full story at currentzionsville.com.

Another home sold by the Zoe Moore Team!

What happened: Mayor Tim Haak swore in Jason Plunkett to the town council. What it means: Plunkett replaced Jeff Papa, who stepped down from the council after accepting a job with Barnes & Thornburg, which provides legal services to the town.

What’s next: Plunkett will serve the remainder of Papa’s term, which runs through 2019.

What happened: The council approved using $17,500 from the Zionsville Police Dept.’s operating fund to replace Eso, a ZPD K-9 who recently retired because of health problems.

Did we reconstruct his ACL . . . or his dream?

What it means: Previously, the K-9 program had been completely funded through donations. With Eso’s health problems and the other ZPD K-9, Jelka, recovering from being hit by a pickup truck, ZPC Chief Robert Knox requested that the town help fund a replacement. The funds will cover a dog and allow ZPD to schedule training. Donations will continue to fund Jelka’s recovery. What happened: The council approved using $220,000 from the Cumulative Capital Development Fund to expand the scope of the north-south connector project. What it means: For years the town has been looking to add a north-south road on the west side of town to help alleviate traffic from population growth in the area. The additional funds approved expand the project to include engineering work for roundabouts at each end, at Oak and Cooper streets (where the new road will begin) and at its northernmost point where it will connect to CR 875 E.

What’s next: Engineering work will continue this year, with land acquisition planned for next year and construction beginning in 2019.

Jared will tell you, both. That’s because the ACL reconstruction that Shelbourne Knee Center did on Jared’s knee not only got him back on same level as before the injury. Which has made his dream of playing college football a reality. As Jared says, “All over their walls are pictures of athletes with thank-you letters. I knew I was in good hands.” A large, multi-center study found that only 50% of patients return to their sport at the same level. Yet similar research at Shelbourne Knee Center has found that greater than 90% of Shelbourne patients return to sports at the same level. Which proves we’re not only specializing in knees, we’re specializing in your recovery. Just ask Jared. He came in with a torn ACL, and walked out with his dream intact.

Can’t hear the noise Commentary by Ward Degler I was enjoying a quiet afternoon reading the other day. At least I thought I was. A friend dropped by and afplain talk ter a few minutes asked, “How can you read with all that racket?” My answer was, “What racket?” He pointed out that neighbors on three sides were running lawn mowers at full tilt, and another was working on a fallen tree with a chainsaw. He’d been at this task evenings and weekends for more than a week. The fact was, I didn’t hear them. More accurately, I had gotten used to the sounds, and some mechanism in my brain that only a highly trained scientist could explain automatically shut them out. When we first moved the boat up from Key West to Titusville, I was kept awake half the night by freight trains rolling down the shoreline at odd hours. After a couple weeks I realized I hadn’t heard a train in days. According to one expert, Dr. Matthew Xu Friedman, who studies and teaches such things at the University at Buffalo, N.Y., the brain automatically adapts to noise and the

BEFORE

auditory nerve cells adjust to sound activity. This keeps us from going deaf amidst loud noise, he says. My first experience with not hearing what was going on around me came when I was in the Army stationed in Germany. I had rented a small apartment in a little town a few kilometers from the base. The town was picturesque in a fairy tale sort of way, with 200-year-old houses, narrow cobblestone streets, a bakery on one corner, a green grocer on the other and a meat market across the road. In the middle of the block, just across from my apartment, was the ancient Catholic Church. In its tower were enormous bells that rang every quarter hour. They were so loud I literally had to stop talking while they tolled. A visiting friend was astonished my wife and I could live with such noise. I remember looking at him and saying, “What noise?” Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife.

Man locates, donates rock to honor late wife By Desiree Williams news@currentzionsville.com From real estate to farm work to sales, Barbara Hancock had many talents, but she dedicated much of her in memorium time to painting rocks. “She always had this thing about art,” said John Hancock, her husband of nearly 40 years. “She did through school. She never had any training. She was just an artist and born that way. She started out doing oil paintings and stuff like that and started doing this rock painting.” John and Barbara met in 1974 while they were both in the printing business. They were married one year later on July 4, 1975. While they were living in Eagle Village in 2002, their neighbor bought a 25-acre property and turned it into a driving range. The rock was excavated from the property during construction, and Barbara was hired to paint it. When the owner sold the property at auction, he also sold the rock. In 2015, Barbara died after a battle with cancer. At that point, John had lost track of the rock but decided to locate it in memory of his wife.

Dispatches After school French – After school French is being offered for Zionsville elementary schools three days a week. Classes begin Aug. 14, and guests may visit a class for free during the first two weeks of school. French is also offered for fifth and sixth grade middle school students with a one- or twoday option. For more, email zionsvillefrench@gmail.com or register by visiting the Eagle Rec website.

Barbara Hancock decorated the rock with an eagle to represent Eagle Village.

“It’s almost like she was telling me,” John said. “That might sound far-fetched, but I made up my mind that I was going to do everything I could for the rest of my life to honor her and her abilities.” After a year of searching, John traced the rock from the auction to a Carmel home. The family donated the rock back to him last winter. John reached out to Lynn Kissel with Zionsville Community Schools to see if

the school would accept it as a donation. “They’re called the Eagles. This is an Eagle rock. It started out in Zionsville at Eagle Village. It just made sense to me that it should be up there,” John said. The rock has been in front of the Educational Services Center since early spring. John will buy materials to provide for the art class in August so students can bring the rock back to life. “I just want her recognized,” John said. “That’s my goal, is to recognize her talent and her ability. Like I said, that rock is going to be there long after I’m gone.”

Restored 18 8 1 schoolhouse offers a glimpse into the pa s t By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsviile.com On an acre of land in Perry Township, tucked between farmland and an old cemetery, sits the last unaltered one-room schoolhouse in Boone cover story County. It could have been demolished or converted into a home, but in 2004 the owners of the property at 1905 E 700 S and adjacent farmland in what is now Zionsville offered to donate the building and the land to anyone who wanted to restore it. Perry Township resident Jack Belcher rallied friends for a meeting to see if anyone was up to the task. A group of seven people formed, and soon the Howard School Restoration Group received taxexempt status. “Jack made us commit to no tax money, just volunteer donations,” said Bill Coan, adding that they received grants from groups such as Boone County REMC and the Boone County Community Foundation. “When we had our dedication, we didn’t owe any money,” Belcher said. When a structural engineer first surveyed the property, a tree was growing in the middle of the building. There were no windows or floor. Plaster had fallen to expose the lathe below, and the roof was unsalvageable. But the engineer said the foundation was solid, so solid that a few years later it was unaffected when a cement truck driver accidentally backed into the side of the school during restoration. The group members relied on their own skills and contacts to restore the property. “Usually, when we didn’t know what we were doing, someone would come in and help us,” said Belcher, who had a vision for the property. “We never ran across anything we couldn’t overcome. If we didn’t know how to do it, Dave (Sher-

rieb) went on the computer.” Sherrieb learned skills such as replacing the shake shingle roof through an online video. “It was kind of enjoyable,” Belcher said. “It was a challenge.” Very little was salvageable in the building aside from some inkwells and a patch of original floor near the door, but restorers were able to collect items from similar-era buildings, including a dilapidated schoolhouse that was being used to store farm equipment. The group was able to use the bricks from the collapsing building for repairs at Howard School and repurposed the remainder for restrooms, in lieu of the outhouse, and the walkway. After nearly seven years of labor, the restored building was dedicated May 1, 2011. “We started with seven people, and when we had our dedication we still had

the same seven people,” Belcher said. Among those at the dedication was Hazel Tharp, who had been a student at the school when it unexpectedly closed during Christmas break in 1916 when Perry Central schools consolidated. Tharp, born in 1903, was instrumental in answering questions about the school’s interior and exterior as the Howard School Restoration Group attempted to recreate the furnishings. She died in 2012. The school was officially known as Perry School No. 1, but the locals called it Howard School because the property was originally owned by John B. Howard, an early settler in Boone County. “As a community, the people who lived in the area and sent their kids here never really called it Perry School No. 1,” said Coan, who lives in Perry Township. The school was built around 1881 to replace a wooden school in the same location destroyed by fire. After closing, the building sat empty for nearly 100 years. The Howard School Res-

toration Group continues to raise funds to cover roughly $3,000 per year for lights and insurance for the building. It sells engraved walkway bricks for $100, hosts chili dinners and a yard sale at the school. All proceeds are used to maintain the property. Groups such as the Community Foundation for Boone County, Miss Boone County and Boy Scouts rent the school for meetings or programs. The restoration group also offers field trips, with two volunteer schoolmarms teaching students during a full or half day. Students learn math, health and spelling interspersed with recess and lunch. “We really enjoy doing it,” said Elaine Dickerson, a retired teacher who serves as one of the schoolmarms. “We feel really good about the program we put on.” The interior recreates what students in grades one through eight would have experienced. Period desks face the slate chalkboard with bookshelves lining the walls. Dickerson said students rely on imagination to create games outside. “When Jack and I interviewed Hazel Tharp, we asked if they had any playground equipment, and she said, ‘Heck, no. When we went to school, we went there to learn,”’ Coan said.

Pleasant View Elementary has received the most extensive work. “Many of the mechanical systems and building envelope materials had reached the typical life expectancy for such components,” said Rebecca Coffman, ZCS chief operations officer. The school has received a new HVAC system and a new roof, including asphalt shingles, new roof membrane, roof drains and edge materials. The initial phase of the HVAC replacement is finished, but individual terminal units will be completed at a future date, Coffman said. Eagle Elementary also is undergoing a roof replacement and drainage work. Zionsville Middle School students will see

Smaller projects throughout the district include new asphalt at the high school, middle schools and Stonegate and Boone Meadow elementary schools. Several buildings have received new classroom and office phones. Eagle, Stonegate and Boone Meadow also are undergoing front office upgrades with the addition of new interior doors. Coffman said vendors have committed to work extended hours as necessary for projects to be complete by the first day of school Aug. 8.

o b s e r v a tion Never-ending firsts Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Firsts. Premiers. The maiden voyage. We all have them. Yet, as we age, it may seem as if they become fewer. But do they ever go away? Along life’s journey, we are routinely presented with opportunities to try our hand at new things, skills and experiences. Among the many joys of seeing life through the eyes of young children is the sense of anticipation and apprehension that embodies firsts. We recall that an inaugural school dance is filled with trepidation even as we are compelled to attend – driven by our desire to socialize. At a certain stage in life, what is left for us that is new? We have traveled, raised children, paid a mortgage, built a career, driven a car, eaten exotic food and, most likely, been to a school dance. Too often, we slip into our routines imagining that little remains undiscovered. Yet, are we being entirely honest with ourselves? Do we intentionally avoid the novel and unknown firsts, just like a trepidacious child loath to leave the safe confines of mother’s skirt? Are we deliberately holding ourselves back, excusing our reluctance by claiming that there is nothing new under the sun? Only recently, our youngest procured his initial license to drive an automobile. He was a bit reticent. In time, the course work and training were completed. The tests and administrations were fulfilled. All that remained was the first drive – alone. Even as the car pulled from our lane, his anxiety transformed into elation. He had overcome another first and was already on to the next.

A funny thing happened on my way to a funeral. As I prepared to pull out of humor my driveway to make the fourhour round trip to Kentucky, I realized I had forgotten to pack a water. I put the car in park, kicked off my heels and raced through the garage toward the door. My left foot suddenly connected with a two-by-four concealed under a tarp. I stumbled into the house before the pain hit, then dropped to my knees on the kitchen floor. My vison blurred and I thought I might vomit. As I whimpered over my surely broken toe, practicing excuses for why I would no longer attend a good friend’s father’s service, my older daughter walked in, assessed the situation and said, “Now you know how I feel every time I drop a rifle on my foot.” She’s in color guard and frequently sustains injuries to her extremities, but still, where’s the compassion? “Get up, Mom. You’ll be fine.” She prepared an ice bag, fed me two Aleve and then hustled me back out to the car. “Mom, you have to go. It’s important.” Despite the pain, I realized she was right. I had to go. The student had become the master. Proud parenting moment! I made it to Louisville, shoved my blissfully numb foot into a 3-inch heel and hobbled my way through a one-hour calling. True, when I stopped by my parents’ afterward and removed my now bloodfilled shoe, my toe was a disturbing shade of purple and was no longer numb. But I was so thankful that my daughter had the wherewithal to understand that I needed to be there for my friend. Life can be funny like that, right? Peace out.

Picture this: A loser’s tale Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I am a loser. I lose everything. Most people lose golf balls on a course; I lose clubs. One time I lost the golf humor cart. People lose their wallets; I lose my pants. Don’t ask. It’s a long story. I recently reported on the Wolfsies’ trip to Banff, Canada, where I spent most of the time waiting in the car due to my bad knee. I managed to snap some great photos of my son, Brett, and my wife, Mary Ellen, as they headed out for a hike each morning, and I got some more scenic pics in the evening at dinner. I’m a good photographer, but at the airport before our flight home, I lost my focus. I put my camera in the large gray tray to go through security. Then I forgot to retrieve it from the conveyor. When I went back five minutes later, it was gone. My Konica had been stolen, along with the pictures showing all the fun we had, although most of the photos were of Mary Ellen and Brett walking away from the car and heading off without me. I had my name and email address taped on the back, but I assumed the camera was

gone forever. Then last week, I opened my email and there was this note: Dear Mr. Wolfsie: Thanks for leaving your camera unattended at the Toronto Airport. I’ve always wanted a vintage one like that. But when I started looking through those pictures, my heart just went out to you. You have such a lovely family, so I am emailing you all your digital photos. Your wife is very attractive, but tell her a lime-green sweater does not work with red hair. What’s with your white socks with blue jeans? Tell your son not to slouch when he walks. Also, why so few shots of you? Ever hear of a selfie? You should have more fun. The Wolfsies look very stiff. Anyway, Dick, if I may call you that (I feel like I know you), I am keeping the camera, even though I would have preferred a Nikon. P.S. Do you know if they make a carrying case for this model?

11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

Going through the emotional aspects of a divorce is difficult in and of itself, but the added pressure of managing finances only adds additional challenges. Going from a two-income household to a one-income household can be scary and you may be tempted to start moving assets around, or paying off debts, but you may want to think twice before doing so. Indiana law presumes an equal division of property, which means both parties are on the hook for all assets and debts that are considered marital. Disposing of said assets and liabilities could put you at risk. What counts as marital property? Does it include money I brought into the marriage? What about the house I purchased prior to marriage? I earned significant retirement assets prior to the marriage—is that included, too? While many states consider separate property, Indiana takes a “one pot” approach. All property owned by either spouse, whether acquired prior to or during the marriage, is considered marital property. This includes real property, personal property, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and anything else under the sun you can think of. The same rules apply for liabilities, too. Wait a minute. What about that big inheritance I received from a family member? A court can consider the extent to which property was acquired prior to a marriage or if property was given as a gift or through inheritance, but keep in mind this is only one of the relevant factors a court must take into consideration if you’re trying to exclude certain property as marital. What happens to the marital assets once a petition for dissolution has been filed? Consider the date you file for divorce a frozen snapshot of all your assets and liabilities. Everything you own and any debt you have will be valued as of that date and will be included in your marital estate. This means anything you acquire after your date of filing, whether an asset or

debt, is yours and yours alone. If your spouse wants to go buy a Lamborghini after the date of filing, that debt will solely be on them. If you buy a lottery ticket the week after filing for divorce and hit the jackpot, that money belongs to you! What you can’t do, however, is dissipate assets that are considered marital. Can I sell my property? It’s not necessarily a straightforward answer. If both parties in a divorce agree to sell an asset, a home for example, that’s perfectly okay. Any equity received or liability incurred can be attributed to each party at the end of a divorce settlement. If both parties agree that each party will keep their respective cars and then you want to go sell your car and use the proceeds to buy a new one, that’s okay too—so long as there’s an agreement to do so. Every situation is different, so it’s important to get advice before getting rid of any major assets. In many situations, parties are unable to agree on their own. If, for instance, one party has concerns the other party will cut off funds or dissipate assets, either party can request a temporary restraining order be placed on marital property. Specifically, this would keep either party from transferring, encumbering, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property. This essentially freezes your assets. Many courts issue these types of orders automatically when a divorce is filed, but if you have specific concerns, it’s best to address it directly. Don’t worry, you’re still allowed to use assets (think cash assets) for the normal and regular necessities of life, though. Just don’t go purchasing any big-ticket items. If you’re unsure of your rights, the attorneys at Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., have the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

SullivanMunce to host Zionsville Paint Out Aug. 5 By Heather Lusk news@currentzionsville.com The clock begins ticking at 7 a.m. Aug. 5 when all ages and skill levels of artists can challenge themselves by creatart ing a work of art in a day. The annual Zionsville Paint Out begins at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center, where artists have their chosen medium stamped to verify the art was painted that day. Completed works will be judged in one of four categories: youth ages 5 to 11, teen ages 12 to 17, adult amateur and adult professional. The event requires artists to go en plein air, or outdoors, anywhere in Zionsville until 2 p.m. that day to complete their work. “It’s a nice community event,” said Cynthia Young, SullivanMunce Cultural Center executive director. “Even if you’re not painting you can watch the painters paint.” Young said most people paint with watercolor or oil but recalled a past submission in textile when an artist sewed flora and fauna in Lincoln Park. “It would be fun,” Young said of the possibility of different mediums. When artists check back into the museum by 2 p.m. they can relax with re-

freshments while their art is judged. At 3 p.m. judges will announce the top three winners in each of the four categories. Artists can sell their work, which will be available starting at 2 p.m. until shortly after the winners are announced. Last year, despite rain, 28 artists participated. The Paint Out will move forward, rain

Styx lead singer Lawrence Gowan understands why the “United We Rock Tour” is so successful. concert Styx is joining REO Speedwagon and former Eagles guitarist Don Felder on the tour, which will stop for a concert at Noblesville’s Klipsch Music Center at 7 p.m. July 27. “People are getting four hours of classic rock where they know every single song,” Gowan said. Well, almost every song. Gowan acknowledges some people might not know the songs Styx performs from the “The Mission,” the group’s first new album in 14 years. However, Gowan said fans seem to like it because album sales have been strong at the concerts. “We’re playing two full songs and a couple of little snippets,” Gowan said. “Simultaneously (the album is) a progression and, curiously enough, a regression. We wanted to make a significant record for 2017. But at the same time we made a very concerted effort to make it sound like a classic Styx

record as close as possible because that’s the sound that is not only respected but drawing younger people.” Gowan, who joined Styx in 1999, said the new songs seamlessly fit in with the set. In addition to 110 Styx concerts this year, Gowan will play nine solo shows. “It’s quite a touring pace we took when I joined the band, but it’s central to why we’re still together and why we enjoy each other’s company,” Gowan said.

Santa Fe’s ‘Miraculous Staircase’ Commentary by Don Knebel

the unknown carpenter had created, they sought to learn his identity. When they were unsuccessful, the nuns believed that the mysterious carpenter might have been St. Joseph himself. The staircase (not including the later-added bannister) comprises 93 pieces of wood of unknown origin. The staircase makes two 360-degree turns and includes no central support and no nails. Engineers still argue about the structural principles underlying the so-called “Miraculous Staircase” of Loretto Chapel, now a private museum.

The Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the oldest Gothic-style church west of the Mississippi River. It travel incorporates what some claim is a divinely built staircase. In about 1853, French-American Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy engaged two French architects to design and build a cathedral in Santa Fe, which had become part of the United States in 1848.
