Locals living with lupus prepare for walk

By Chris Bavender • news@currentzionsville.com Walkers are set to take part in the eighth annual Walk to End Lupus Sept. 27 at Ft. Harrison State Park.

Philanthropy Javier Rodriguez, of Zionsville, and Judy Schaff, of Carmel, are living with lupus. Lupus is a chronic disease affecting primarily women in which the autoimmune system turns on itself and attacks healthy organs in the body. The disease is very difficult to diagnose as there is no single test that diagnoses lupus.

For 72-year-old Rodriguez, his battle with lupus started at the age of 59, when he was living in Las Vegas.

“I kept going to the doctor and they would send me to a specialist who wouldn’t find anything wrong and send me back to the doctor.

I would have a pain in my knee one week and the next week it was gone and then it was my elbow,” he said. “I was getting worse and so eventually I was home in bed and already losing sort of control of my brain.”

Fortunately, his daughter came to visit on her way to California and took one look at Rodriguez and rushed him to the hospital.

“I was already septic by then and then even at the hospital they couldn’t figure out what was wrong,” Rodriguez said. “I had six or seven doctors come in and eventually one – Dr. Christine Young – a rheumatologist – took one look at me

and my file and said I had lupus. I still have her card in my wallet because I will always be grateful to her because she basically saved my life.”

Today, Rodriguez, who moved to Zionsville seven years ago, said he’s gone from being bed ridden to doing the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon for several years. He’s still on medicine, and will be for the rest of his life, but hasn’t had a reoccurrence.

Schaff, 60, was diagnosed with lupus by a dermatologist when she was 24.

“The symptoms that I had were itchy rashes on my scalp, face, eye lids and neck,” Schaff said.

“Unlike many patients, my doctor had strong suspicions immediately, about my lupus diagnosis. After my first appointment, a great deal of lab work was ordered. Upon the second appointment and receipt of the lab work, the doctor indicated that I needed to be hospitalized for further evaluation.”

That hospitalization lasted 10 days.

“During my hospitalization, arthritis in my knees started, as well as most of the other joints in my body,” Schaff said. “The pain was severe and constant for the next two years.”

Thirty-six years later, Schaff said she is feeling the best she has since her initial diagnosis.

“I take approximately 20 pills per day, to deal with pain and the side effects of the persistent dosing of prednisone,” she said. “My prognosis at this time is fairly good. I currently see a rheumatologist and several other specialists to deal with

problems caused from taking prednisone.”

According to Jan Ferris, chief executive officer, Lupus Foundation of America, Indiana Chapter, the annual Lupus Walk is the largest fundraising and awareness event of the year. In 2013 more than $130,000 was raised by 1,620 walkers.

“It is our primary source of income that allows us to provide lupus patient programs and help fund research to find a cure,” Ferris said. “There are some 36,000 lupus patients in Indiana. And one in four becomes disabled, unable to work or lead a normal active life. The average cost to treat a lupus patient every year, is $19,000. There is a great need for more awareness of lupus and more research.”

Schaff agreed.

“When I was diagnosed there was very little known about lupus,” he said. “At that time the prognosis for lupus was dismal. Approximately 95 percent of the patients died from lupus. I immediately started attending LFA Lupus Support Groups in Milwaukee, after my diagnosis. I attended meetings faithfully for many years. I can say that the LFA saved my life, along with my physician. The money generated by the lupus walk helps provide education programs for newly diagnosed patients and their families, which is desperately needed.”

For more information, visit www.lupusindiana. org. To register for the walk, which is free, email tj@coachtj.com or call 1-800-948-8806.

Kids sharing crops

By Julia Plant • news@currentzionsville.com Tara Harmon, of Zionsville, was one of 31 grantees that received funding from the non-profit Katie’s Krops in 2014. Selected from more than 170 applicants, Tara is now Philanthropy one of more than 75 inspirational youth across the country growing vegetable gardens to end hunger.

Through Zionsville Food Pantry, Harmon’s garden has provided more than 50 pounds of fresh cucumbers to the underserved so far this year.

Katie’s Krops was founded in 2008 by Katie Stagliano, who was at the time only nine years old.

Stagliano planted and nurtured a cabbage seedling which grew to an amazing 40 pounds. She then donated her special cabbage to a local soup kitchen where it fed more than 275 people. Seeing others benefit from the donation of fresh healthy food, Stagliano aspired to start vegetable gardens and donate the harvest to the underserved. So she founded the non-profit Katie’s Krops.

Upon receiving the funding from Katie’s Krops in April, Harmon started her garden in her backyard with cucumbers, eggplant and tomato. She started to harvest cucumbers in early July and has donated all of the cucumbers to Zionsville Food Pantry. In addition, she and her mother also volunteer at the pantry.

Angie Campbell, manager from Zionsville Food Pantry, was appreciative of Harmon’s donation this year.

“Tara Harmon graciously donated her crops to the Zionsville Food Pantry,” Campbell said.

“We are so appreciative because fresh produce is difficult to provide. We can purchase produce from our food warehouse but it often has been stored for a while before we get it. Straight from the garden is the best one can get. Our clients certainly know the difference and are also so appreciative of the better quality.”

In 2007, parents Troy and Jennifer Carolan were at their 20-week appointment at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital when they discovered their second baby, Jolie, Philanthropy would be born with congenital scoliosis, a rare condition consisting of an extra vertebra in the spine. In addition, Jolie suffered multiple Ventricular Septal Defects, commonly known as holes in the heart, kidney reflux and a pelvic kidney.

At the time of Jolie’s birth, Jennifer Carolan worked at Reindeer Auto Relocation in Zionsville.

The company historically selected a charity each year to support during the Christmas season. In 2008, in support of the Carolan family, Reindeer Auto Relocation decided to throw a Christmas party for patient families at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent. Since then, the relationship between the auto relocating company and the faith-based children’s hospital has grown.

Reindeer Auto Relocation, whose CEO is Tim Donnar, hosts several themed parties each year for families whose children are hospitalized at the children’s hospital.

Colony Woods residents speak out

teve & Donna wanted to be closer to their grandchildren, so a move to the Zionsville area was imminent.

Problem was, they needed to unload a house in Lafayette before they could make the move. Jennifer tapped into her referral network &connected them with an excellent agent in that market. Then, she plunged into their local search. They looked at a zillion houses before they found the PERFECT house to accommodate their hobbies. He wanted a basement for his HAM radio studio! She wanted a sunny space for her painting passion, and the loft with skylights fit the bill. A purchase agreement was struck just as they received an offer on the house in Lafayette & all proceeded to close without a hitch. Jennifer was able to write the perfect Story of Sold for her sweet clients, and now their grandbabies are just a few miles away!

At the Sept. 15 meeting of the Zionsville Plan Commission, the first petition was an approval to construct a new Zionsville Community Schools storage facility at 4700 government South 975 East near Pleasant View Elementary. According to the commission officials, the building would be exclusively used for storage purposes.

The new space would allow several Zionsville schools to free up space such as classrooms that are currently occupied by various items. Objects to be stored would include school supplies like computer paper and ink, desks and minor off-season landscape equipment.

Concern over the added traffic and noise generated by the new building had nearby neighbors of Colony Woods uneasy. Several residents voiced their apprehension at the meeting.

“We have too much traffic as is. There’s no way we can tell how many vehicles will be up and down the road. This is our neighborhood.

We don’t want the congestion, we don’t want the noise,” said Colony Woods resident Loretta Thompson.

ZCS Director of Operations Ron Wright, who was at the meeting, and assured the residents that this facility would be used for storage purposes only. ZCS employees will rarely be visiting the facility and no business would be operating

out of the building.

“This facility is a storage facility and its only going to be used as a storage facility,” Wright said. “It’s not going to be used on a daily basis for working on equipment. It does not have any offices in it. It doesn’t even have bathrooms in it.”

An order of continuance was ultimately decided, as the four commission members in attendance could not agree on a decision to make.

This item of discussion will be considered at next month’s meeting.

Other items discussed at the meeting included a 350-square-foot expansion to an existing building at 11622 N. Michigan Rd. near Village Music.

A financial advising firm hopes to occupy the building. The development plan was unanimously approved.

The final development plan petition concerned the construction of a 33,000-square foot building for Marten Transport at 10364 Bennett Parkway including a 379,843-square foot parking lot. The building would potentially be used as a maintenance and dispatch facility for the company.

Representatives of Marten said they were willing to work with neighboring establishments to make sure minimal impact was made to their properties.

A waiver to approve was issued pending the presentation of building materials and further resolve of possible drainage issues.

At the West Carmel L.A. Fitness near Michigan Road and 106th Street, a vehicle and purse were reported stolen on the evening of crime Sept. 15.

According to Carmel Police officials, a Ford Focus was stolen from the parking lot after a gym member left her purse and car keys unlocked in a locker, inside the women’s locker room.

Another female gym member reported stolen car keys that evening as well, however her vehicle was still in the parking lot.

These thefts come during a year of many similar reports at this L.A. Fitness location.

In March, former Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster reported that someone stole a brown leather laptop bag from his vehicle while he was working out inside the gym. Inside the bag was an Apple MacBook laptop, a checkbook and a 2009 AFC Championship ring, police said.

In June, the gym installed security cameras in the parking lot and posted signs reminding members to lock up their items.

This story will be updated as more details are released.

Zionsville is now No.1 safest town news@currentzionsville.com Big city living really isn’t for everyone, and there are some good reasons for that. All that hustle and bustle can be acheivement nice, but it can be stressful for some who want a more low-key lifestyle. Meanwhile, smaller towns often offer a stronger sense of community, peace, relaxation, and of course, safety.

That last factor is what the researchers at Movoto Real Estate Blog decided to focus on today. In particular, they wanted to know where

the best small towns were across the country for people who want to feel secure in their smaller communities.

Landscapes unlimited

Owners of Landscapes Unlimited designed an eco-friendly office building. (Submitted photos)

A look into one of Indiana’s green businesses

By James Feichtner • news@currentzionsville.com Going green can mean a lot of different things. From buying a hybrid vehicle to recycling, there are many different ways individuals can lessen their impact on the environment. One local couple has taken the initiative to better their Zionscover story ville-based business by making their facility more eco-efficient.

Jeff and Ellen Butz are longtime owners of Landscapes Unlimited, situated on Old 106th Street. For more than two decades they have been serving northern Indianapolis with their landscape, patio and gardening designs.

“We do plant installation, hardscapes, stone retaining walls, patios, water features,” Jeff said. “It’s all residential estate gardening. We’re personal gardeners to our clients.”

Not long ago Jeff and Ellen moved their business from its previous location to make way for the new FedEx building. It was this move that gave them an opportunity to make their business greener.

“When you work in a creative field you want a creative environment to work in,” Ellen said. “I guess we took a look at what could have been a pretty tough situation, to pick up and move everything, and turned it into a positive one, in my opinion.”

Being part of an already eco-centric industry, Jeff and Ellen said they believed they should represent their trade in an organic manner. Developed by architect David Rausch, their new building has several environmentally friendly features that help manage storm water and also benefit their business.

“We work in a green industry,” Jeff said. “We felt it was best that we represent the green industry and be the front-runner. We are currently harvesting rainwater that we use to water our nursery and our grounds. We have permeable pavers that catch and cleanses the water before it goes into the storm systems.”

The Landscapes Unlimited building uses recycled storm pipes, that would’ve otherwise have been rejected and destroyed by the state, as cisterns to collect the rainwater. These are located

underground. The water is then pumped out to provide water throughout the property.

One of the unique features of their building is their recently installed green roof. The roof is mostly covered by several species of seeding plants that act as not only a source of water to the larger plants, but also as a way to conserve energy.

“With the green roof that we just installed, that also provides an environmental benefit to slow and capture rainwater,” Jeff said. ‘It serves a double function; it’ll double the life expectancy of the rubber roofing membrane and we should see increased energy conservation. Cooling in the summer and reduced rates in the winter.”

Greener methods are also implemented in the services they provide. They utilize water conserving methods and natural approaches in their residential work, as well.

“We practice water conservation,” Jeff said. “We do it not only at our office, but at our properties. We use organic fertilizer as opposed to synthetics. We use minimal chemical applications.

We seed our lawns with turf that is more drought tolerant and requires less chemical applications to keep them looking green.

There are all sorts of things that go above and beyond.”

They also practice their green methods at home by means of minimizing their trash output, recycling and changing out their windows and doors with more energy efficient designs.

“We harvest rainwater. We have our own vegetable garden. We compost. We generate about one paper bag of trash per week,” Jeff said.

Both Ellen and Jeff said they believe they are aiding in a greener community. They said Landscapes Unlimited is a model of how a business can lessen their impact while simultaneously benefiting from greener practices.

“Someone has got to do it first just to show people what we can do and that it can be done,” Ellen said. “It’s just getting people to think about how can you minimize your impact.”

Navigating uncharted territory

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

As the NFL Turns: The Peterson episode The weekly drama series that is the National Football League has released a new episode. The plot goes like this (stay with us): All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings is said to have punished his child May 18 with a switch, causing lacerations and bruising. Then on Aug. 21, Peterson testifies in front of a grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas. On Sept. 4 the grand jury decides not to indict Peterson. Then on Sept. 11, Peterson misses practice for what his coach terms a “veteran day” off. Come Sept. 12, Peterson is indicted for reckless or negligent injury to a child in Montgomery County and less than half an hour later the team deactivates him for one game. On Sept. 13, he turns himself in to Montgomery County authorities and is released on $15,000 bond. On Sept. 15, Peterson releases a statement on child abuse charges. Later that day, he is reinstated to the team, because he was just “disciplining a child.” Later that evening, a previous allegation of child abuse by Peterson is reported. He was not charged in the incident.

On Sept. 16, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says Peterson is innocent until proven guilty, but his actions are “a public embarrassment” to Minnesota and suggests that the running back be suspended. Sponsors adjourn their support of the team, and rightly so. It looks like he is out indefinitely until the case is resolved, and with the photos we’ve seen it will be resolved in not a good way for Peterson. No one is more concerned about child abuse than we are. We also believe in due process. This is no rush to judgment, in our opinion, although that runs rampant no matter the topic. If Peterson is convicted for the purported abuse, he will pay many times over. Will this be an example for others contemplating such levels of punishment? No, sadly, it won’t. There’s a liberal element of pop culture that simply accepts it, which is just as sad.

Hong Kong, phooey Commentary by Terry Anker He introduced himself when we met, but I didn’t bother to commit his name to memory.

Sharing a ride to the airport, the chance we’d meet again after this 45 minutes was likely zero; yet he seemed in the mood to talk. I don’t know if it was the way I reacted to what he said or simply the fact that I seemed willing to listen, but this young stranger started telling me his story.

We were in his native city of Hong Kong and he loved it. He married a local girl and had two children, now 4 and 5 years-old. In a place where multiple kids are rare, he took pride that he could support and raise them. He wasn’t particularly well educated or even especially special. But he held a couple of jobs and seemed willing to do more if he could to help give his family an advantage. His wife, he beamed, was the same. They owned a small apartment and sent their children to a private school.

But now they had become so concerned of

the increasing “destruction” of his city by their new Chinese overlords that they are hoping to send these children to live with relatives in Canada. The conflict of a loving father caring so deeply and fearing so much that he is wrestling with such matters weighed upon him. We talked.

Really, I just listened.

When our time together ended, he regained himself, apologized for oversharing (in a characteristic Asia way) and shook my hand expressing sincere gratitude for my attention. Did I say anything to help him with his challenges? I doubt it. But, did his venting give him clarity? I hope so.

His sadness, frustration, and compassion were breathtaking in their raw sincerity. Our freedom matters. And, he reminded me of it.

not at peace with themselves.

–William Hazlitt

Of whom am I thinking? They’re fond of acronyms like NSDA, IHSFA, and NFL, and use words like “interp,” “extemp,” and “sweepstakes.” They spend their Saturhumor days participating in events like LD and OO and measure their success in points and diamonds. And they are VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT WHAT THEY DO! Any guesses? Anyone? They are speech and debaters, my friends, and now yours truly is one too!

I know, I know. What’s a ginger, motherof-four math guru doing dabbling in such unchartered territory? To be truthful, I didn’t actually mean to get so involved. I thought I was applying for an “assistant” position only to discover after I’d accepted that the head coach had already backed out. The ole bait and switch, really. (Or, de bate and speech. Get it?

I’m funny!) Not a big deal, I suppose, except that I have absolutely no experience whatsoever. And that’s not an exaggeration. We didn’t have a speech or debate team at my high school, and I never took part in college. I’m not even an English teacher, for God’s sake. Seriously, I feel like a cheerleader who’s just been named the new offensive coordinator for the Colts when all I wanted to do was shake poms at halftime!

What’s worse, I have no predecessor, nor a team to inherit. So not only am I totally clueless on the rules, regulations, and various distinctions of the 18 available events, I’m also having to recruit members, round up judges, register with the national and state associations, plan meaningful practices, and obtain a license to drive the stupid mini-bus!

Consequently, I spent the past weekend hob-nobbing with Indiana’s brightest and finest at the annual S&D coaches conference, attempting to absorb enough know-how to ensure my 10 [brave] students don’t puke, pass out or completely embarrass themselves at the first competition. Not sure whether it was a success. I did learn a lot of useful information, not the least of which was that if swim meets and dances competitions had a love child, she’d be named Speech and Debate Tournaments. But the rest was simply overwhelming.

The good news is that I do know how to speak and argue (mostly without a Kentucky accent), and from time to time, I can pen some decent material. So maybe I’ll be OK. The NSDA might even award me a diamond for my work with interpers! Peace out.

My flag pole is up Commentary by Ward Degler One of the spruce trees that last year’s drought killed had two trunks. One of them was tall and straight – perfect for plain talk a flag pole.

When the tree guys came to cut down the dead trees, I had them leave that one in a single piece. Everything else was chopped up and hauled away.

I peeled off the bark, smoothed the surface, treated with wood preservative, and gave the whole shebang two coats of white paint. Then I installed the hardware: a pulley at the top, a nylon halyard and a metal cleat near the bottom.

I could have added an eagle that screwed into the top, but I figured a six-inch ornament atop a 35-foot pole wouldn’t be noticed anyway except by curious birds who probably aren’t all that patriotic to begin with.

Next task, dig the hole. Easy-breezy, you say.

What with all the rain we’ve had, digging through soft dirt should be a snap. True, except by the time you get down four feet it hasn’t seen rain in a thousand years and the soil is only slightly softer than granite. Plus, the average post hole digger is only five feet tall. That means you have to get down on your knees to grasp the handles.

As a result, the last foot of dirt comes up a teaspoonful at a time.

Once the hole was dug, the next problem was how to get a 40-foot pole weighing in at 200 lbs

upright and into the hole. I rubbed my chin and pondered. Then I called my stepson who came over and rubbed his chin and pondered.

After an hour or so of chin rubbing and pondering, we settled on a solution. At least we hoped it was a solution. We put the pole on top of my Explorer and backed the vehicle to the edge of the hole. Then we scooted the pole aft until it tipped to the ground with the end at the edge of the hole.

So far, so good. The next issue was to move the pole upright so it would drop into the hole.

Slowly, I backed the Explorer while my stepson stood on the rear bumper and did his best to keep the pole from sliding off the side. Inch by inch the pole moved toward the sky. Then, with a loud thunk, it dropped into hole and stood upright. Magically, it was perfectly plumb.

Quickly, we filled the hole with concrete, congratulated one another and breathed a sigh of relief.

Last Sunday we raised the flag. And I realized, watching that beautiful red, white and blue banner wave in the breeze, that this was what all the chin rubbing and pondering was all about.

Computers, Christmas, chaos in Belfry opener

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For its 50th season, The Belfry Theatre in Noblesville will revive six of its rarer shows from its history including the opening theater production “The Desk Set.” “It’s a little exciting and a little intimidating. Fifty years is a big deal. We’re been doing them for a long time. You want to do it right and do right by everyone so they are glad we are still here and glad they came,” director Christy Clinton said.

“The Desk Set” was previously performed in 1983 and Clinton directed by Betty Lou Kyle.

“There’s not many people around that saw the first show. ‘The Desk Set’ was popular in its time,” Clinton said. “I kind of like that it’s old fashioned. It’s a three-act play instead of modern day two acts … There’s a lot of creativity going into this. Nobody’s holding anything back.”

The play is set in the ’50s.

“It brings that era home in ways that are fun and broad,” Clinton said. “The second act is a Christmas party full of alcohol and food. They’re off in other offices dancing and partying. I can’t remember the last time I heard of such a party in

an office … It’s fun to see those old ways.”

Clinton said the crux of the story is about the first computer coming in and changing the workplace.

“The office life was very different from today, not only because of computers but also social norms. It is interesting to see all the things that would absolutely not happen today,” said actress Sarah Baron. “One of my favorite things about playing a ’50s era piece is the attire, the silhouettes and accessories are so much fun.”

Baron, who plays Bunny Watson, said the show contains many different characters that are very relatable and have aspects that remind her of her own past and present co-workers.

“The other thing about this show that makes it a lot of fun to see is the difference between then and now where computers are involved.

Today computers are so much a part of everyday life you forget they were not always warmly welcomed,” she said.

Actor John Parks Whitaker said the prophetic nature of the subject matter is fascinating.

“The play wasn’t written recently about the past. It was written contemporaneously about computers taking over offices and the panic it caused,” he said. “William Marchant managed to find the lighter side and put together a great comedy about the process.”

Whitaker plays the male lead, Richard Sumner.

“My character is fun to play because he starts off on such a high horse and has a long way to fall when things start not going his way,” he said.

Clinton’s cast includes a number of seasoned actors and a few making their debut like Joe Mize as a reporter and Richard Sceniak as a photographer.

“Richard said he might want to try sometime.

What people want to eat and drink Tailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley You can always ask the age-old philosophical question, “What is the meaning of life?” And you’d probably get an earful from a philosopher, but these people don’t generally attend things like football games, and they surely aren’t found at our tailgate parties. Tailgate captains, however, ask the honest question, “What do you want to eat?” This is a simple information-seeking query that we have been asking for more than 19 years.

More than the past two decades we have asked this simple question at football game parking lots and on our web site (tailgatershandbook. com). The answers we have gotten made us change our survey to fit the seasons and times of day. Now we ask, “In warm weather, what is your favorite main course food?” We now also ask about side dishes, deserts, snacks/munchies and even beverages in warm weather.

The following boxes reveal America’s choices and then we’ll have recipes we’ve found in parking lots from the East to the West.

Since we’ve already covered how to make a great bratwurst, here’s a great Pulled Chicken Sandwich recipe.

Ingredients: 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds), Salt and pepper, 1 red onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, 1 1/3 cups barbecue sauce, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, Hot pepper sauce, 6 Kaiser or French rolls, split, 6 ounces shredded Munster and/or Monterey Jack cheese (about 1-1/2 cups) Preparation: Salt and pepper the chicken and place in a heavy pot with the onion, garlic and cover with water. Add the barbecue sauce, vinegar and a few drops of Frank’s hot sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred with two forks. Boil the sauce, skimming occasionally, until reduced by half, about 15 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Add the shredded chicken and heat through. Spoon the mixture onto the rolls and top with the cheese.

Elote appetizer is simple, savory

My husband and I love the combination of a wonderful hike with a superb meal. This is another delicious recipe from our amazing trip to Sedona in Arizona. The Elote appetizer from Elote Cafe is unbeatable! This dip is fantastic for the football season and is not only tasty and simple to make, but it is perfect for any potluck or party.

It’s a crowd pleaser.

ELOTE APPETIZER Prep time: 35 minutes / Serve: 4-6 Ingredients: • 6 corns, husk intact • 1 cup mayonnaise • 1 tablespoon hot sauce • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper • 1 teaspoon sugar • 1/4 cup chicken stock • 1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled for garnish (Mexican markets)

• 2 teaspoons cilantro, chopped, for garnish • pure ground red chili pepper, for garnish • crispy tortilla chips, for scooping Directions: Over a medium-high grill, roast the corn until the husk are well charred, about 5 minutes. Turn occasionally so as not to burn the side contacting the direct heat. Set the roasted ears aside until cool enough to handle, then shuck them. Cut the kernels off the cob. You can also roast frozen corn and use that in this

recipe. It tastes just as good! When ready to eat, mix the mayonnaise, hot sauce, lime juice, pepper, salt and chicken stock in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the corn kernels and warm through. Pour into a bowl and garnish with the cheese, cilantro and ground chili. Serve immediately with crispy tortilla chips.

ZPAC announces new lineup

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com If there is one thing that Rachel Shafer gets excited about, it is the new shows at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center. music “While we’re always excited about the student work that happens at ZPAC, this year’s newest programming offering is very exciting as well,” ZPAC director Shafer said. “For the first time ever, ZPAC is presenting a small series of shows for our community. We’re calling it our “ZPAC Presents” series. In adding this new feature to an already busy schedule, we are now more fully aligning with the stated mission of Zionsville Performing Arts Center – ‘The ZPAC mission is to support the performing arts through a venue to explore performance opportunities, educational activities for Zionsville students and community members, or civic events.’ It’s exciting to be a part of this thriving arts venue, and we hope that our new programming engages folks in such ways as to enhance our community.”

The first big show that will premiere is the performance of singer Danny Gokey Oct. 10. This concert will start at 7 p.m., and will be opened by singer Brianna Caprice.

“Many may remember Danny from his stint on Fox’s hit show ‘American Idol.’ Danny was on the eighth season of that show, and has since gone on to a very successful vocal career. At this moment, Danny Gokey sits at the top of Billboard’s

Danny Gokey will perform Oct. 10 at the ZPAC. (Submitted photo)

CCM chart with his single ‘Hope in Front of Me.’ Earlier this year, Danny’s album of the same name was also in the top spot,” Shafer said.

Then, on Dec. 6 ZPAC will present what Shafer calls “a very exciting show” entitled “America’s Favorite Dancers.”

“This show will feature dancers seen on the ABC smash “Dancing with the Stars” and Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance.” At this time we are still working on the final lineup of the “ballroom professionals” who will appear, but we do have confirmation that the lovely Chelsie Hightower and many others will be on site for this show. ‘America’s Favorite Dancers’ promises to be an event that no one will want to miss,” Shafer said.

Tents are set up at Witten Park in Saxony in Fishers for the annual Oktoberfest event which is a fundraiser for the Fishers Freedom Festival. (Submitted photo)

Oktoberfest celebration Sept. 27

By Holly Kline • news@currentzionsville.com German food and dancing plus entertainment for kids, live music and a beer garden will be on hand at the ninth annual “Fishers festival Oktoberfest Saxony” from noon to 10 p.m., Sept. 27 Located at Saxony’s Witten Park in Fishers, this popular festival boasts free admission and activities for all ages.

Oktoberfest is hosted by the Fishers Freedom Festival, along with help from Saxony and Leinenkugel.

“We had approximately 5,000 in attendance at Oktoberfest last year,” said Jennifer Kehl, Fishers Freedom Festival executive director. “That was the best year ever.”

The event is a fundraiser for the Freedom Festival.

“We get a percentage of food sales, and we make money on the beer,” Kehl said. “Our profits go to the Fishers Freedom Festival. The money we raise goes into the Festival’s general fund to pay for the free activities at the Freedom Festival.”

An Oktoberfest celebration traditionally includes a beer garden and the Fishers Okto-

berfest is no exception. The beer garden will be open from noon to 10 p.m. and adults can purchase beer or wine for $5.

Kehl pointed out additional highlights for this year’s event.

“The American German Club in Indy is going to provide German dancers,” she said. “From noon to 3 p.m. businesses are going to provide kid games and we’ll have face painting, balloon artists and a photo booth with lots of fun props.

At 6:30 p.m. there will be a contest for the best German costume.”

Polka music begins at noon, Big Daddy Caddy plays at 3:30 p.m. and My Yellow Rickshaw performs from 7 to 10 p.m.. Arts and crafts vendors will also be set up.

“We’ve grown the crafters from about 15 to 40,” Kehl said. “We’ll keep it that size because the more we do, the more volunteers we need. The whole festival is a nice size right now.”

Attendees are encouraged to bring canned goods to the festival and the food collected will be donated to the Fall Creek Township food pantry. For more information, visit www.fishersfreedomfestival.org.

Fill Up the Purple Purses: Online Challenge to Raise Funds for Domestic Violence Network of Greater Indianapolis By: Adrian Smiley Allstate Insurance Agent New research from The Allstate Foundation confirms domestic violence affects 1 in 4 women in their lifetime – yet it’s a difficult topic to talk about.

To get the conversation started and raise awareness for domestic violence, The Allstate Foundation created the Purple Purse Challenge.

The Purple Purse was created because a purse represents the center of a woman’s financial domain and purple is the national color of the domestic violence awareness. Local nonprofit Domestic Violence Network of Greater Indianapolis is one of more than 140 nonprofit organizations across the country participating.

Indianapolis residents are encouraged to join The Purple Purse Challenge and donate to Domestic Violence Network of Greater Indianapolis through their team page located at www.PurplePurse.com through Oct. 3. Money donated will benefit life-changing financial empowerment services for survivors.

Most people think of physical abuse when they consider domestic violence, but financial abuse happens in 98 percent of all cases. It is one of the most powerful ways to control a survivor and the number one indicator of whether a domestic violence victim will stay, leave or return to an abusive relationship. Financial abuse is just as effective in controlling an abused victim as lock and key – a secret prison no one speaks about. If her credit is ruined, she can’t get an apartment. If her abuser harasses her at work, she can lose her job.

The Domestic Violence Network is an intermediary organization whose mission is to end domestic violence through advocacy, education and collaboration. For the Purple Purse Challenge, the Domestic Violence Network has partnered with the Julian Center to provide matching grants to domestic violence survivors in their Circles of Support Program to assist them in obtaining housing, transportation and education.

The more donations each nonprofit collects, the more incentive funding the organization can compete for the opportunity to win from The Allstate Foundation. Additionally, donors who give to a nonprofit participant in the challenge through Oct. 3 will be entered in a weekly drawing to win a purple purse designed by actress Kerry Washington.

According to Kelly McBride, Executive Director of the Domestic Violence Network, “Victims of domestic violence face an array of challenges, including financial abuse and distress and money raised from the Purple Purse Challenge will make it possible for the victims to successfully leave an abuser or a shelter, earn a living, secure housing and provide for their children.”

As part of the Challenge, The Allstate Foundation is hosting friendly contests among the more than 140 nonprofit organizations. This week $5,000 will go to the first three community partners to raise $1,000 from 10 unique donors. There is a daily bonus challenge, as well. Each community partners that raises $100 each day gets entered to win $2,000.

Across the country, The Allstate Foundation will contribute nearly $650,000 to the Purple Purse Challenge in incentive funding and direct grants to the participating organizations.

Since 2005, The Allstate Foundation domestic violence program has empowered domestic violence survivors with resources, knowledge and skills they need to achieve financial empowerment and life free from abuse. Since its inception, the program has helped nearly 400,000 domestic violence survivors leave abusive relationships through financial education, job training and readiness, and microenterprise programs.

In today’s fast-paced world, it can be challenging to find the time to do everything you need to accomplish in a single day.

Wellness Between working, commuting, making time for family and friends, exercising, eating healthy, and still squeezing in time for fun and relaxation, it’s easy to start cutting out sleep as a time management technique.

While depriving yourself of sleep may give you the time to catch up on your favorite TV shows, it can also have negative effects on your overall health.

• Premature aging. Sleep deprivation affects the body in a way that is similar to aging. Insufficient sleep causes the body to release the stress hormone cortisol, which can prematurely age your skin over a prolonged period of time. Sleep loss also reduces the amount of human growth hormone (HGH) that your body produces, which helps to maintain your skin and muscle mass. Less HGH means that your body is less able to repair its tissues and keep your skin looking youthful.

• Chronic illness. Chronic lack of sleep can

In particular, lack of sleep dramatically increases your risk for cardiovascular disease. Not getting enough sleep can also weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to seasonal illnesses like colds and the flu.

• Weight gain. On top of everything else, chronic sleep deprivation can also cause weight gain.

Sleep-deprived people tend to crave high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods, and their bodies have a harder time regulating appetite.

If you have been wearing your lack of sleep like a badge of honor and claiming that you “can sleep when you’re dead,” it may be time to find a new motto. Getting sufficient sleep is a critical component of a healthy lifestyle.

Zionsville home prices rise Commentary by Jim Litten With average home prices reaching $176,835 in August 2014, home sales prices are up 6.7 percent compared to August real estate 2013.

Boone County was among the counties that experienced higher home sales prices in the first eight months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year.

On average, homes sold for $283,140, up 10.5 percent.

• In Zionsville, the average year-to-date sale price in August was $387,680, an increase of 11.9 percent compared to the same time period last year.

• Inventory is moving fast. Last month, homes in Zionsville remained on the market an average of 78 days which is a decrease of three days from August 2013.

• The number of homes for sale in Zionsville is rising. In August 2014, 216 homes were on the market, an increase of 15 homes com-

pared to August 2013.

• Pended home sales experienced a decrease in Zionsville. Last month, 39 homes pended, a decrease of 16 homes from August 2013 • Of the pended home sales in Zionsville last month, eight were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 15 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 10 were priced $200,000 to $299,999 and six were priced $100,000 to $199,999.

This year’s sales are healthy although they appear sluggish compared to last year, which was the fourth best year in Indianapolis real estate history. Even as sales typically slow during autumn and winter months, we believe the Central Indiana housing market will remain strong on balance.

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey (Photo by Don Knebel)

Blue Mosque: Domes and eggs Commentary by Don Knebel

The Blue Mosque is one of Istanbul’s most popular tourist destinations, often seen as an example of classic Islamic architectravel ture. Like other domed mosques, its design actually mimics a famous church. But its pest control system is undeniably novel.

Ahmed I became Sultan of the Ottoman Empire in 1603, at age 13. After a series of military setbacks, Ahmed sought God’s favor by building a mosque in Istanbul to rival the one built in 1558

by Suleiman the Magnificent, his much more successful predecessor. Like Suleiman, Ahmed modeled his mosque on Hagia Sophia, built as a church by Byzantine Emperor Justinian in 537 A.D. and later converted to a mosque by adding a mihrab in the direction of Mecca and minarets.

Ahmed’s architects lacked the skill (or courage) of those of Justinian, who imaginatively supported the massive dome of Hagia Sophia on its exterior walls. The smaller dome of Ahmed’s mosque is supported on four interior columns derided as “elephant legs.” Light from more than 200 stained glass windows is supplemented by ornate chandeliers holding uncooked ostrich eggs intended to repel spiders and prevent unsightly webs.

Ahmed surrounded his mosque with six needle-shaped minarets carrying a total of sixteen balconies honoring him as the 16th sultan. When Islamic authorities in Mecca learned of the minarets, two more than around both Hagia Sophia and Suleiman’s mosque, they were outraged.

The Great Mosque in Mecca had six minarets and, as the holiest place in Islam, was not to be outranked in the minaret department. Ahmed reportedly solved the problem by financing the construction of a seventh minaret in Mecca.

Ahmed died at age 27, a year after completion of his mosque, and was interred in a mausoleum just outside the walls. Although his mosque is officially known as the “Sultan Ahmed Mosque,” it is popularly known as the “Blue Mosque” because of 20,000 handmade blue and white tiles in 50 different designs adorning its interior. Still used by Muslim worshippers, the Blue Mosque is open to the public except during daily prayers.

Visitors can see for themselves if the ostrich eggs really work.

It’s nice to be in Nice Commentary by Lana Bandy Fishing village by morning and tourist haven the rest of the day, Cassis is a picturesque town on the Mediterranean Sea. Just east of Marseille, Cassis Travel offers excellent shopping, dining and water activities. After walking past vineyards and olive trees, visitors travel down the curvy cobblestone streets from the train station or parking lot. In town, visitors find art galleries, chic boutiques, souvenir shops and outdoor markets. In the morning, there’s a fish market at the port.

Seafood is a specialty, of course. Restaurants often feature bouillabaisse, a traditional Provencal fish stew. While it may sound like a simple dish, it’s a delicacy in Southern France. In fact, if you’d like to order the bouillabaisse at Le Bonaparte, it must be ordered ahead of time and visitors must be ready to shell out $45 a bowl.

It’s rare to see a diner without a glass of wine, typically white or rose, the latter of which is one of Cassis’ main products.

The real attraction in Cassis, however, is the calanques, small coves of sparkling blue water surrounded by tall white limestone cliffs. The inlets are accessible by boat, kayak or foot – if one has the stamina to hike the 12-mile rocky upand-down footpath back to Marseille. Boats leave the Cassis port every half hour, and trips range from short (45-minute) visits of three calanques

to longer (two-hour) trips visiting nine coves.

Late summer/early fall is an excellent time to visit Cassis and the French Riviera, as the weather is still balmy (80 degrees), the European tourists are back to work and off-season prices are in full swing. While Cassis may not be the only destination on an American tourist’s itinerary, it should not be missed. After all, French philosopher Frédéric Mistral noted: “He who has seen Paris and who has not seen Cassis can say...I have seen nothing.”

To ensure your fire feature is safe, take the following steps: • Never leave the fire unattended.

• Establish a child safety zone around the edge.

• Check for low hanging branches nearby and prune.

• Build fire features at least 10 feet from your home.

• Keep a fire extinguisher or hose convenient.

Remodel-industry secrets add value to your investment Commentary by David Decker While remodels come with considerable costs, the long-term gains can be significant both in quality of life and financial gain.

This is about creating and adding financial value to indoors your home.

You want to make strategic renovations that will keep your home competitive when compared to other options in the same market, especially if you are planning to sell it in the near future. Notice the aforementioned word “strategic.” Financially, it’s best to invest in home renovations that will help your home fall within an acceptable price range for the market. Too few updates, and your home won’t have the wow factor many buyers are looking for. Too many updates, and your home will not fit the price of comparable properties in the area, and it may become difficult to sell. It’s all about balancing the factors, so that the end product is a beautiful home that fits the price demands of prospective buyers.

Planning a strategic remodel requires research and product knowledge. We all know that the end goal is to create value, which is determined in dollars. But there is another concept that I like to focus on, “perceived value.” Consider: • Oftentimes it is possible to find lower-cost products that look as impressive and perform as well as their more costly counterparts. Buyers are unable to tell the difference.

• First impressions matter.

• Get to know your segment of potential buyers. A Baby Boomer is going to look for different things in a home than a Gen Xer. • Research the type of buyers moving in your area and try to make choices that will fit that group’s needs.

• Never use inferior products or sacrifice quality by cutting

• Researching prices, materials and new solutions before you install is absolutely worth the added planning. This is where the help of a professional remodeling team can be invaluable.

The investment of collaborating with professional designers is worth it in the end.

• You can afford to use more expensive products in smaller quantities where it may be a better value for your home. For example, when remodeling a bathroom you could choose an inexpensive tile for the shower surround but add some glass mosaics or accent strips to maximize value. Glass is expensive, but when it is used in small amounts won’t break the bank and will provide an exceptional return on your money.

• In the kitchen, hardware, the jewelry of your home, can make a major difference in the look and feel of the room and is much less expensive than replacing cabinetry.

• When using hardwood on the main floor, expand the hardwood as far as your budget will allow.

The Affordable Companies is rehabbing a Carmel “investment” home, a project we’ve titled “The Kingswood Transformation.”

We’ve worked hard to put all of the advice I’ve just given into practical use. Beginning Sept. 28, the home will be open to the public, so home and real estate investors will be able to view the remodeling project in its entirety. Visit the website: http://the-affordablecompanies.com/kingswoodtransformation or plan to attend our upcoming open house to spark ideas on ways that you, too, can create value in your current home or investment property.

When using hardwood, expand it as far as your budget will allow is one way to increase the perceived value of your remodel. (Submitted photo)
