Local alumnus brings vet experience home

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com Zionsville native Scott Owens recently completed his Residency in Veterinary Internal Medicine at Purdue University, and has returned to continue his career at Zionsville’s locally-owned Circle City Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital.

For Owens, it’s a return to familiar ground – and a great opportunity.

“I am looking forward to living near Zionsville again,” said the 1998 Zionsville Community High School graduate. “And I am very pleased to have stepped in to such a great opportunity so close to home.”

The new internal medicine service, which Owens will spearhead, will join existing specialties at Circle City including veterinary surgery, dermatology, dentistry, emergency, and critical care and rehabilitation.

Owens completed his BS and veterinary degrees

at Purdue University, before working for a year in general practice. He soon joined Circle City as an emergency clinician, but it became apparent that his interest and natural talent in internal medicine would lead him back to Purdue for additional focused study.

Although the nationwide demand for specialty medicine continues to grow, and specialists can choose from some exotic places to practice, Dr. Owens – now with a plaque reading “DVM, MS, Diplomate in the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine” on his wall – is quite content with the values and traditions here in central Indiana.

“My goal is to provide high-quality internal medicine care to pets in central Indiana,” said Owens. “I think it is important to build trust and establish a team-like approach with each pet’s owner and primary care veterinarian, and only then can we provide the best possible care for each animal.”

Town Council eyes storm water utility-fee Action: A proposition to raise the storm water utility fee passed 7-2 on the first reading, with Councilpersons Jeff Papa and Susana Suarez dissenting.

Certain areas within the consolidated town will be reclassified from a rural to an urban service district, bringing police and street services to formerly rural classified areas. The Council discussed a contract with Hamilton

Southeastern Utility, a private sanitary utility, which would provide sewage services in the area north of Ind. 32 and a corridor of areas along the road.

Additionally, Jerry and Sharon Harris were honored for their 47 years of service to Zionsville.

What it means: The proposed fee would raise the rate from $3.28 per month to $3.86 per month, in order to fulfill the proposed $646,046 budget; the fee increase would be phased in over a three-year period to allow Zionsville citizens to budget for the fee. All single-family residential parcels will be charged the same amount and undeveloped property will not be charged. Part of the revenue from this fee will be used for outreach purposes that aim to educate the public on proper water usage.

What's next: The storm water fee will be discussed further at the next Town Council meeting on September 4.

Storm water fee doesn't make any sense for Zionsville Editor:

With a national debt hovering at 16 trillion dollars, how can a U.S. citizen hope to reduce that gigantic burden if, at the local level, our town council approves unnecessary new layers of government, such as approving a $646,000 storm water tax-funded boondoggle?

Republicans should be the standard bearers for fiscal restraint. Instead, the Zionsville taxpayers' money is being spent like the little pig on the zip line. Clearly, none of the Town Councilors are devoting the time to do adequate individual, independent research to know more about the issues for which they are responsible. Why don't they know what a very garbled Stormwater Mandate specifies? Who actually did the research and concisely specified the problems?

I was appalled by the discussions at the August 6 Town Council meet-

work and its customers.

ing. What Councilors came prepared, having individually researched facets of utility law? Who spent the time required to consult with outside professionals conversant with such things as equity issues, and the differences between a tax and a fee?

Zionsville has been in the developers' bullseye for many years. Since consolidation, they now have a 52-square mile green light for development. Outside utilities are being encouraged to come in and help cannibalize the rural areas that encompass our town. Former elected officials were dedicated to managed growth. That notion is dismissed today.

I am sick over the one-sided input from which decisions are being made.

The Town Council doesn't want to hear or encourage input from people whose information might impede the foreordained plan. If this is an example of integrity at the local level, our nation is clearly on a Greece skid!

COMMUNITY Plain talk

My hummingbird wars

Commentary by Ward Degler Why can’t hummingbirds live in peace? The feeder on my front porch is a war zone. After the first hummingbird – I call him Scrappy – eats, he flies over to a nearby tree and perches on a limb, trying to look invisible. When the second hummingbird arrives (I’ve named him Happy), Scrappy emerges from hiding and chases him away.

Actually, it’s more than a chase; it’s a battle royal with aerial combat that would be the envy of the most experienced fighter pilot. They should call it ‘hummingbird fighting’ instead of dog fighting.

I know that hummingbirds are territorial, but seriously, do they have to attack their own kind?

Redwings will attack animals and people that come too close to their nests. I know, I wandered into redwing territory once and got a neat little cut on my head for my trespass.

Mockingbirds love to terrorize dogs and cats, as my old cat Minky would readily testify. Kingbirds will drive crows to distraction, and crows love nothing better than to spend the day dive-

bombing a poor owl.

Of course, during the mating season pretty much all birds will drive away other contenders for milady’s affection. Robins get especially aggressive in the spring. Finches and wrens spend a lot of their time squabbling and scolding anything that comes near. And I can personally testify to male cardinals attacking their own image in a window.

But hummingbirds are relentless. Despite four feeding spouts on my hummingbird feeder, Scrappy vows that Happy will get not one beakfull of nectar. Meanwhile, Happy keeps coming back. I suppose he hopes that sooner or later Scrappy will be gone when he gets there.

Sad business, I say. It’s the kind of behavior you might expect from people who don’t know better. Hummingbirds should set a better example Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog.

COMMUNITY Cover Story

Kristi Lee finds offthe-air peace in Zionsville

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com The voice, we’ve heard forever – at home, at work, in the car.

The laugh, too – it’s essential to local pop culture, a staple of our region’s ambient noise.

That voice, that laugh and so much more belong to Kristi Lee, known by many as the news director of Indianapolis-based WFBQ-FM’s Bob and Tom Show. At home, though, in Zionsville, she’s simply known as a friend, as a neighbor, as a mother.

And she likes it that way.

“Once I get to Zionsville, there’s a detachment from the hustle and bustle,” she said during our chat – one I’d initially been nervous about. Any tension, however, faded as my familiarity with that voice and that laugh gave Lee an aura that was less renown and more relative.

“The biggest thing about Zionsville is the sense of community,” she continued. “This is the quality of life I was looking for.”

After living here for nearly three years after a lifetime spent on Indianapolis’ north and west sides, Lee admits Zionsville was an afterthought – but one that quickly moved to the front burner when the time was right.

“I’d always admired Zionsville from afar,” said the nearly 30year Q95 employee. “I mentioned to a friend how I’d always thought it would be nice to live there. She said, ‘Well, why don’t you?’ And I said, ‘Well, why don’t I?’ A light bulb had gone off.”

Three months later, her home was sold and a new Boone County abode had been located. It is there she’s raising her daughters, Ava and Sophie. They attend school in town and ride their bikes to Dairy Queen; Lee reads and naps and plays with her dogs and “putzes in the garden,” as she puts it.

All things that constitute the public’s image of a radio star, no doubt.

“People think I have the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle we joke about on the air, and I’ve had my fun,” assures Lee. “But people would be surprised at how quieted down it is now. I’m surprised at it, actually.”

Twasn’t always that way.

Since joining the Bob and Tom Show in 1984 – quite an honor in and of itself – Lee also has worked extensively for ESPN

and for the Indiana Pacers. She covered the first three X Games and many other events for the Worldwide Leader, was the sideline face of the hometown NBA franchise during its rise to prominence and is an anchor of the Bob and Tom Comedy Tour.

“Kristi is the true workhorse of our show,” says Bob Kevoian – the “Bob” in Bob and Tom – before correcting himself in typically humorous fashion: “I’m guessing here, but I don’t think Kristi would care for the term ‘workhorse.’ Kristi is the news unicorn of the Bob and Tom show, and we couldn’t do it without her.”

If those experiences and that kind of praise weren’t remarkable enough, how Lee got her start is a testament to fate.

“In high school a kid told me to take a radio class because it was an easy credit,” said the Ben Davis graduate. “I did, and no one had ever said this to me; I credit this man to this day. Dana Webb was my teacher, and he looked at me and said, ‘You got some talent, kid.’ That changed my life.”

The emotion was evident in her eyes as she recounted an unsolicited email she recently received from Webb.

“It said, ‘Keep up the good work, I respect what you’re doing.

I’m so proud of you,’” said Lee, beaming. “I have no idea where he is; haven’t heard from him in 30 years. To hear that meant everything to me.”

Now, with so much in the rearview mirror, so much still lies ahead for Lee. She’s active with charity work, active in a Zionsville church and has no plans to slow down. She’ll remain a part of the Bob and Tom show, “as long as they’ll have me.”

Someday she’d like to acquire more space, maybe the farmland she’s always coveted. But, much like her radio persona, the local iteration of Kristi Lee is not moving.

With the kind of unwavering certainty one normally reserves for stating her phone number, or the name of her first born, Lee repeats herself by telling me, “I’ll be in Zionsville as long as they’ll have me.”

Seems as though we’ll be hearing that voice and that laugh for a long time to come.

“My mother jokes that I came out of the womb talking, that I was born for this job.” www.currentzionsville.com

VIEWS Opinion

This did not have to happen

Fundraising It is our position that traditional fundraising tactics used by school, sports, church and youth groups are losing their effectiveness. We are growing tired of being guilted by well-meaning children and their adult counterparts into buying twenty-dollar magazine subscriptions, thirty-dollar bags of popcorn and overpriced wrapping paper.

While the Girl Scouts are the clear victors in offering tasty cookies for an affordable $3.50 a box, consumers are getting less for their dollar due to the rising cost of production. Most members of the community are glad to donate a few dollars towards these causes. Lately, it seems that the real winners in the fundraising game are the manufacturers and publishers who also benefit from the sale of these items.

Even though many school PTO’s have listened and are now offering a one-time donation option, it seems that we are still constantly solicited to buy goods, trade-in box tops, and buy raffle tickets, just to name a few. Fundraising is only going to grow and it will likely become more challenging for these groups to cash in during this weakened economy. If these organizations could just spare us the “stuff,” they may get more cash in return, which would benefit their cause more efficiently.

Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. The easiest is to e-mail it to info@ currentzionsville.com.

Let me count the ways Commentary by Terry Anker

How do I love Thee, let me count the ways.

When Elizabeth Barrett Browning penned the (now famous) line, one could imagine that she was yet another romantic poet in a time of many romantic poets. But this particular phrase has held sway in the some 17 decades or so since it first found its way from creator to audience. Why? Certainly it resonates as we consider the ways in which we share our love with another. But doesn’t it also get at our innate desire to create lists?

We list our top movie picks. We keep long lists of things to pick-up at the market. We create imaginary buckets into which to compile our lists of things to see and do before we die. We list our friends and our enemies.

We list it all. But too often, doesn’t the list become the object in itself? The act of creating the list becomes a substitute for actually accomplishing anything on it.

Maybe list making is simply another mark of the over-achievement driven set among us.

Once, I actually made a list of all the lists that I needed to make. But aren’t lists most effective when they are used as elemental tools – as simple pneumonics to keep us on track and prevent distraction?

They are tidy devices to keep us from forgetting the point of our mission and to extend the limited powers of our own minds.

Ultimately, lists are useful and authoritative mechanisms to get more done and to improve recall. Yet, they are not a substitute for doing.

We are still accountable to ourselves (if not the list) to actually watch the movies, buy the groceries and jump out of an airplane.

"Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can."

- Edward Robert Bulwer-Lytton Current in Zionsville

He was way too young, as were so many before him. He had everything going for him, as did so many before him. That Brett Finbloom, 19, of Carmel lost his life in an apparent binge-drinking incident makes us incredibly sad for his family, friends and all those in our communities who have lost loved ones and friends to similar tragic circumstances, so this isn’t about geography. The Web site, teenalcoholabuse.us, tells us approximately 5,000 teens die every year as a result of alcohol use, and we also learned that teens are more likely than adults to consume too much when they are in possession of alcohol, increasing the risk of accidents. The education, begun at home and in schools as early as elementaryschool age, is there. Evidence is there. It’s all very black and white. So it’s absolutely confounding when it happens. Look, we were imbibing youth once upon a time. We, as now with our own children and relatives, believed we were invincible.

Loss. Devastation. Heartbreak. Why does this happen? Independence. Experimentation. A jointhe-party posture. Lose your cares. But, lose your life? Let’s hope and pray this young man did not die in vain as we keep his family and friends in our hearts and prayers.

Glad ‘summer’ is over

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

School is upon us, my friends, and I, for one, am thrilled! Can I get a “Whoop, whoop!”? See, as much as I love summer vacation (and need a break from the grueling parenting demands of four not-always-so-well-organized children), I am usually ready for it to be over after approximately five weeks. ’Cause that’s the time it takes for my beautifully constructed summer plan to be ruined.

Take the computer/Xbox restrictions. In June, my husband and I monitored our kids’ electronic playtime very closely to ensure minimum brain-cell damage and muscle atrophy. But as the heat set in and the novelty of swimming in our neighborhood pool wore off, our commitment to occasional Amish-style living bit the dust, much like my drought-stricken petunias.

As for the chore list, it fared only somewhat better. Between a beach vacation and grandparent visits, sport camps and sleepovers, we weren’t here enough to make much of a mess, and frankly, I just stopped caring whose night it was for dishes. Let’s order pizza!

We continued to have movie night approximately once a week, and were treated to some downright awful viewings. Doo and I, still slugging through the Top 100 Films of All Time, wasted more than four hours of our lives with Raging Bull and Cabaret (sans kids as both are

R-rated) and decided we’d rather participate in a marathon loop of our daughter’s choice, Breaking Dawn, before ever seeing either of those again. Painful. That’s truly saying something if you’ve seen any of the Twilight movies!

And the summer reading program I so boldly promoted? It never even got to committee. I completed my eight books and won an always-appreciated fine reduction coupon from the library, but I don’t think any of my kids finished one stinkin’ book. But, again, at some point around July 1, I couldn’t have cared less.

They’re supposed to be on break, right? They’re supposed to be enjoying time away from schoolwork. It’s OK if they don’t want to read. [Yes, I actually convinced myself that I was helping rejuvenate my children’s abused minds through video games. Yikes.]

So, I’m ready for school to begin. I’m ready for the structure and routine that only bus stops and math homework can provide. I’m ready to put away the stupid sunscreen, track down the moldy lunchboxes, and get back to the controlled world of the academic calendar year. I’m ready to say farewell to Summer 2012. Peace out.

Treating a sign of summer: Swimmer’s ear Commentary by Jennifer Jones Summer’s string of scorching days makes swimming even more inviting. While swimming is a great way to cool off, kids who spend a lot of time in the water, especially underwater, can experience inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal. This is medically referred to as otitis externa, but commonly known as “swimmer’s ear.”

Unlike middle ear infections that occur behind the eardrum, otitis externa affects the outer parts of the ear. The ear canal and outer ear can become painful and inflamed, usually from irritants such as water, cotton swabs and other foreign objects, or from scratching too hard.

With swimmer’s ear, the most common symptom is pain, although itching and redness may also occur. One way to tell if the pain is due to swimmer’s ear is to wiggle or pull on the ear. If this causes pain, it’s likely swimmer’s ear; if not, it could be a middle ear infection.

If your child has swimmer’s ear, your doctor likely will prescribe ear drops with a steroid to be applied several times a day. The pain should subside quickly, but swimming is generally discouraged while using the drops.

Some children and adults are more prone to

swimmer’s ear than others. Keeping the ears as dry as possible will help prevent the condition.

Tilting the head and drying ears with a towel after swimming is a good way to avoid water being trapped in the ears. Drying ears with a hair dryer on the coolest setting also works. For children experiencing frequent cases of swimmer’s ear, a swim cap, ear plugs or over-the-counter ear drying drops are often helpful.

For general ear care, refrain from clearing the ear wax from ears. Wax provides a natural protective barrier and helps prevent infection.

DOUGH Insurance / Business Finding the right balance of auto coverage and cost Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Kortney P. from Noblesville: I have four vehicles and four people driving in my family. I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to get the best price. Any tips?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: The first thing you need to do is make sure you have an independent insurance agent helping you find the right coverage for you.

Independent insurance agents have access to multiple carriers and will be able to find the right coverages at the best price by checking all of them. The key is finding the right balance of coverage and price. Your independent agent will be able to explain what you are sacrificing as you adjust coverages to get a lower price (unlike getting your insurance from the internet).

There are also a couple of things to keep in mind if you have young drivers on your policy.

Make sure that your young driver is assigned to the correct vehicle. The difference between a teenager being the primary driver on a Toyota Camry versus being the primary on a new Mercedes is significant. Make sure your agent knows if your child is a good student also. Many carriers give a discount for young drivers that stay on the honor roll.

You can also double check that your vehicles are listed properly on your insurance policy.

Look over your policy to make sure you are receiving a credit if your vehicle has an alarm or security system. Make sure that your yearly driving estimates are still accurate. Changing the amount you drive each year can alter your premium. You should also make sure that your coverages reflect the value of the vehicle you are insuring. For example, it doesn’t make much sense to have full coverage insurance with a $1000 deductible on a vehicle that is only worth $2,000. A mistake like that adds unnecessary premium to your policy.

The last thing you need to do is make sure you are maximizing your policy discounts. A multi-policy discount is probably the most valuable discount that people miss out on. You can qualify for this even if you don’t own a home.

Pairing a renter’s insurance policy OR a homeowners insurance policy with your auto policy will qualify you for a great discount.

INSIDE & OUT Outdoors

Creating shade almost seems like a bonus Commentary by Randy Sorrell Creating shade in outdoor living spaces is becoming more appropriate than ever. Recent extreme temperatures have prompted an impressive volume of public conversations regarding shade strategies. Fortunately, many solutions exist and it’s often a marriage of tactics that are most effective in helping us develop smart sun consumption habits.

Pergola

This Latin word, borrowed from the Italian term “pergola,” refers to a protective eave extending from a house. Initially, mid 1600s renditions consisted primarily of flexible willow shoots that were transformed into long, covered, arched walkways. When densely planted with vines, a completely shaded area impervious to rain was created. Willow shoots soon graduated to more formal structures with grand stone columns, often of massive scale.

Muscular columns, shadows, romance

The Villages of West Clay project boasts a large pergola attached to the home, offering protection from the harsh sun for both the abbreviated grill station /landing and previously baked inside dining area. This modern mid-west construction has muscular 8-by-8 cedar columns, smartly trimmed and detailed to echo those in the home. Most homeowners initially prefer the raw cedar finish…until painted. It legitimizes

LEGAL ISSUES?

the “ceiling” structure and helps it behave as a brilliant extension of your home.

A soothing water feature, accented with Indiana granite boulders and native grasses, invites guests to relax. An abbreviated two-post pergola hangs above a lower patio entertaining counter, and is complimented by a total shade-producing lanais. Shade trees will help as their dappled canopies mature.

Perhaps it’s the pergola’s Italian heritage that prompts the romantic twist. Maybe it’s the general mood of the space we create, and the open breeze, that produces dancing shadows from the overhead architecture. But, the mood of any outdoor living area is dramatically impacted by the romance of a pergola.

FANTASTIC ART

Gallery owner Bill Niemeyer brings artists Dave Seeley and Jeremy Caniglia to Carmel

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Since March, Bill Niemeyer, owner of Carmel’s Atlas Fantasy Art House, has been working to bring fantasy and science fiction artists to Central Indiana. The artists visit the gallery, meet the public and give a demonstration. These events have begun to slowly cement Central Indiana as a center for the art of the fantastic.

“It’s kind of like an art movement,” said Niemeyer.

“It’s all about bringing awareness to this kind of art in the Midwest. The artists are more Niemeyer than happy to come out and represent the art.”

Dave Seeley, a digital artist and painter who has worked with Lucasfilm and Wizards of the Coast, appeared at Niemeyer’s event last Saturday at Shiraz Wine Experience & Art Café in Carmel. This appearance was the first of two Niemeyer has scheduled for the month of August.

“I was an architect for about a dozen years.

When my wife and I found out she was pregnant, I decided I wanted to be a more active parent and made the jump to art,” said Seeley. “Art has been my main gig for almost 16 years now.”

Seeley’s art is a unique blend of dramatic architecture, photorealistic characters and painterly images. The result is a blend of styles that is as visually striking as it is detailed.

“Almost everything I do starts with photo collage. I have Seely a stylistic range with things that look more painted and things that look more photorealistic,” said Seeley. “I love chaos in images.”

Jeremy Caniglia, a gothic painter, is the second artist appearing this month. Over the years, he has worked with Stephen King, Ray Bradbury and many other great fantasy authors.

“Caniglia has a darker side to most of his art. It tends to be a darker type of realism. I wouldn’t even necessarily always call it fantasy

art,” said Niemeyer.

Caniglia’s style is considerably darker and more organic than that of Seeley. A number of his paintings emphasize life, death, and moments of extreme emotion, triumph and defeat.

With these types of events, Niemeyer has created a community of art lovers that have come to embrace the world of fantasy and science fiction art.

“You are seeing much more of this art today.

More collectors are moving towards this kind of art. Most of it is now part of pop culture. These artists have done book covers, album art and film work that is very recognizable,” said Niemeyer.

Artist Jeremy Caniglia is giving a lecture on the history of the art of the fantastic at 4 p.m. this Saturday at Shiraz Wine Experience & Art Café (404 W. Main St., Carmel). Caniglia and Seeley’s art is currently on display at the Atlas Fantasy Art House (246 W. Main St., Carmel).
