Council down-votes $20M bond for new campus

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council voted against approving nearly $20 million in bonds to finance a new campus, TOWN NEWS which would hold the street and stormwater and parks department buildings. Currently, both departments share a building at 1075 Parkway Dr. The proposed campus would have been at the former Rail Trail Gardens property west of County Road 875 East and south of Heritage Trail Park.

Prior to the vote, Mayor Tim Haak, Street and Stormwater Supt. Lance Lantz and Parks Director Matt Dickey presented on their department needs and the reasons behind asking for the bonds.

The Street and Stormwater Dept. building bonds, if approved, would have been $10.5 million. The Parks Dept. building bonds would have been $9 million.

“Approximately three years ago, the town agreed to purchase the former Rail Trail Gardens property,” Haak said. “A space-needs study was completed for each department and involved staff and other experts. It not only evaluated current office and meeting space and space for equipment, but needed space for growth over the next 25 years. The plan before you accommodates today’s needs and allows for growth, hence the campus concept.”

Lantz spoke on how the current Street and Stormwater Dept. location is out of space and has several limitations. He explained the bond would be for 20 years and would include acquisition of real estate, construction, archi-

tect and engineering fees and more.

“We currently have three employees share one work station and computer. We had to put a workstation in the breakroom,” Lantz said. “We have a single conference room that is very small. It only seats about six people, which is barely enough room for our weekly staff meetings, and we can’t host any meetings. We make frequent trips to town hall, hence the need for space to hold larger meetings.”

The lack of space also prevents proper project layout.

When the department’s salt barn was built in 2004, the town’s needs were for 300 tons of salt. Now, the town’s needs reach approximately 1,400 tons.

When the building was built, the Street and Stormwater Dept. had a staff of six, 10 vehicles and less than 25 pieces of equipment.

Now, it has 16 full-time employees, 28 vehicles and 50 pieces of equipment.

Dickey shared similar concerns for the

Parks and Recreation Dept. If the bonds had been approved, the parks and recreation complex would include a nature center, eight to 10 acres of specialized park wetlands, a bird watching area, the parks department offices, reforestation, public restrooms and more.

A finance presentation followed and explained to the council that even with the bonds, the town could maintain its approximate 15-cent tax rate. However, councilors expressed concerns about how much tax money would be pulled from the schools, library and other entities to allow for the bonds and to maintain the rate. Councilors also addressed concerns over annual maintenance costs for the new campus.

The vote was 4-3, denying the request.

Councilors Josh Garrett, Bryan Traylor and Kevin Spees voted in favor of issuing bonds for the campus, with councilors Susana Suarez, Elizabeth Hopper, Tom Schuler and Jason Plunkett voting against.

Arrestee conceals cocaine, results in medical checks news@currentzionsville.com At approximately 11:07 p.m. Oct. 14, a Boone County Sheriff’s Office deputy CRIME arrived at the Boone County Jail with Kevin Lampley, 34, Indianapolis.

Lampley was arrested and charged for driv-

ing with a suspended license.

During the jail intake process, when Lampley was scanned for hidden contraband, officers observed an unidentified object in Lampley’s pants. When officers escorted Lampley to the changeout area, Lampley retrieved two bags of white powder from his pants and placed them in his mouth.

When officers tried to detain Lampley to retrieve the items, Lampley resisted and spit the substance in the officers’ faces. The substance was later identified as cocaine.

Lampley was detained, and medics arrived at the jail to complete a medical check out on Lampley and the three officers involved.

The incident is still under investigation.

To our readers: Effective with the Oct. 29 editions of Current you will notice a change.

To better serve you and our advertisers, we are relocating our printing operations to a different plant.

As you will come see, the press setup there will provide you, our advertisers and us improved color reproduction, ink density and color registration. In addition, the canvas of our papers will shrink somewhat.

Feedback we received after a press test was incredibly positive, and so the decision to change was made.

We hope you’ll find the improved print version to be easier to read and, perhaps, a bit more portable.

Let us know your thoughts at info@youarecurrent.com, and, as always, thank you for reading Current.

When I had nothing to do Commentary by Ward Degler When my sister and I were little kids, the thing we feared most was to run out of things to do. If she got PLAIN TALK tired of her dolls or her modeling clay horses, and I had filled up the pages of my coloring book, and especially if the weather was lousy and we couldn’t go outside, we were tempted to cry out, “There’s nothing to do!”

Bad mistake. Mom always had something for us to do. Most often it was polishing shoes. Neither of us wanted to do that.

Ever.

Every member of the family had two pair of shoes. There were work shoes for dad and housework shoes for mom. Sis and I had play shoes. All of these routinely got muddy, grimy, dirty and scuffed.

Cleaning gunk from shoes was nasty business. First, you scraped, usually with a dull knife, then you washed with a scrub brush. Finally, after everything had dried, you applied a liberal coat of liquid DynShine, which restored at least a modicum of original leather color.

Our dress shoes were easier. Since they were worn mostly on Sundays and special events like birthday parties or when company came to dinner, a little Shinola and a quick brushing was sufficient.

Dad also had work boots. These were knee-high leather things with long, rawhide laces. They always looked like they’d gone

through at least one world war when Dad came home from a week fighting fires and planting trees in Wisconsin’s Northwoods.

Cleaning them was always my job. And it wasn’t just the boots, the laces had to be cleaned as well. And the only way to clean a dozen yards of rawhide laces was to completely remove them from the boots and wash them with soapy water.

Dad’s boots didn’t get polish. They got grease. The stuff came in a tube and had a smell that even years later I am not able to identify. My dog used to roll in stuff that came close, but even that lacked the complete bouquet of dad’s boot grease.

Worse, if that’s possible, once the boots had been greased, I had to park them close to the hot stove so they’d get warm and absorb the grease. Naturally, that rich aroma wafted through the entire house and even permeated our clothes. Nobody would sit next to me on the school bus for three days after I’d greased dad’s boots.

Fortunately, they don’t make shoes and boots like that anymore, and I haven’t smelled boot grease for years. Still, I always make sure I’ve got something to do, especially if I see a pair of muddy shoes in the house.

It’s training cats and dogs: Remembering Dr. Sampson Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

IT’S FALL.

THAT MEANS IT’S TUNE UP TIME. Call now to schedule your HVAC tune up.

Dog’s best friend has died. Indianapolis veterinarian Dr. Gary Sampson, for almost 20 years, helped pet owners all PETS across the tri-state area deal with miscreant dogs and cats that frustrated, baffled and even terrorized their owners. Veterinarians who were either stumped by a particular problem or hadn’t the time to deal with it referred to Sampson.

Sampson never met a dog he didn’t like.

Truth is he seldom even met most of the animals he treated. His business model was based on a detailed questionnaire filled out by the owner, followed by a lengthy phone conversation. His philosophy was simple: If your dog is doing bad things, you have to change your behavior. Put simply, the human was his patient.

A veterinary researcher at Eli Lilly for many years, Sampson devoted his second career to pet behavior beginning in 1991. I also made a career change in 1990, going to work as a morning feature reporter for Channel 8.

Just months into my new job, a little beagle puppy was found on my doorstep in the dead of winter. At Mary Ellen’s insistence, I took

him to work with me. He was too destructive to leave unattended at home.

Barney became an instant celebrity, televised on locations with me. Viewers fell in love with the pooch because of his inquisitive, renegade nature. There wasn’t a morning where he wasn’t in some serious trouble, either digging, howling, chewing or running away.

Sampson had been watching these early morning antics and felt compelled to contact me and offer his professional guidance.

Of course, getting Barney to behave was the last thing I wanted. The hound’s popu-

larity was based on mischievousness.

After administering a few disciplinary lessons to Barney, Sampson agreed (reluctantly) to do a live broadcast from my front porch at 5 a.m. one day to outline the progress Barney had made. Remember, Barney’s reprobate behavior was crucial to my success on TV. But I needn’t have worried.

Sampson began a detailed analysis of how digging instincts can be curtailed in canines, but he was soon interrupted by the constant cascading of dirt as Barney dug up all three rosebushes adjacent to our front steps. Our second half of the segment was to be about relentless chewing, but we never got to it because during a commercial break, Barney managed to gnaw his way through the microphone cord.

Sampson and I soon decided that the doctor’s files — which contained thousands of cases that he actually did solve.

‘Sick’ investigates fertility doctor

By Michael Rheinheimer news@currentzionsville.com “Sick,” a new podcast from WFYI and Side Effects Public Media, has premiered.

Series co-host Lauren Bavis EDUCATION described the series as a project that focuses on finding stories at the intersection of people and healthcare policy.

The series’ inaugural season will focus on the story of Indianapolis fertility specialist Dr. Donald Cline of Zionsville. Jake Harper co-hosts the show with Bavis.

“Dr. Cline was a pretty prominent fertility specialist in the Indianapolis area for a few decades,” Harper said. “He was known as being the best of the best. The guy that everyone wanted to go see.”

According to Harper, Cline became known for “fresh-donor sperm insemination.” He would tell his female patients that he would find sperm from a medical resident who looked like her husband and use that person for artificial insemination.

“What came out in 2016 through DNA testing was that Cline was lying to many of his patients,” Harper said. “Instead of using a medical resident … he was using his own semen.”

Bavis said she was drawn to the story.

“It’s stranger than fiction almost,” she said.

“You kind of have a natural curiosity. There’s a lot of questions that you have immediately. How could this possibly happen? Who should have been watching out for patients, and who should have watching to make sure doctors are practicing in an ethical way? I don’t think there’s any way to hear about this story and not have a visceral reaction to it.”

Harper said eight episodes are planned for the first season, but an extra episode could be added. The goal for “Sick” is to tell a new medical story each season.

New episodes of “Sick” are set to premiere on a weekly basis. The schedule began Oct. 15.

They’ll be available for download wherever users get their podcasts, including sickpodcast.org.

Sugar is leading the LEGION construction for a paver patio at the Zionsville American Legion Post 79, 9950 E. 600 S. The patio will feature nearly 600 bricks engraved with memories of female family members who supported deployed American troops by “keeping the home fires burning and assembly lines churning” at home.

The project, called Freedom’s Fire at the Legion, will be dedicated during the post’s Veterans Day observance Nov. 9.

Freedom’s Fire at the Legion is a tribute to those who kept the home fires burning and to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the American Legion Auxiliary.”

A standard brick costs $60 and a large brick costs $120. An order form can be found on page 19.

To donate or engrave a brick, contact Sugar at freedomsfire100@gmail.com.

Youth coder class to start next week at zWORKS

By Nancy Price news@currentzionsville.com

A free class designed for youth interested in computer science will start Oct. 27.

Coding courses in COMPUTERS Scratch, Mobile App Inventor, Java Script, HTML, Python and Java will be taught by technology industry veterans involved with CoderDojo, a global, open-source volunteerled movement that organizes free, not-forprofit coding clubs, also known as dojos, for young people ages 7-17.

CoderDojo started in 2011 by James Whelton, an Irish computer coder, and Bill Liao, an entrepreneur.

“Their goal was to create a club where kids could code together,” said Sri Rao, co-champion of CoderDojo. “CoderDojo expanded to 60 countries, and now there are over 1,500 dojos across the world.”

“The main goal of the club is to get students interested in technology in an environment where they can work together and get help from industry professionals,” said Matt Carson, co-champion of

CoderDojo. “Members can meet like-minded people, show off what they’ve been working on, and they can take part in national and international events, such as our Coolest Projects showcase and annual Hackathon.

CoderDojo makes learning to code a fun, sociable and creative experience.

“As the class grows, more classes may be offered based on the interest of the students. The structure of the club is to have some instructor-led project tutorials in each of the categories, but students are also free to work on their own or in groups to build their own ideas.”

Classes will meet from 2 to 4 p.m. Sundays beginning Oct. 27 at zWORKS, 85 E. Cedar St., Suite 1502. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, who is required to stay for the duration of the session. Dojo is open to beginners as well as those who have previous experience.

Children should bring a laptop, but there are a small number of loaner laptops available.

The class is free, but registration is required at zen.coderdojo.com/dojos/us/zionsville-in/zionsville. For more, email zionsville. us@coderdojo.com.

Zionsville Education Foundation awards $75k in classroom grants

By Kelsey Musick news@currentzionsville.com Each year, the Zionsville Education Foundation delivers classroom grants to teachers in the fall and spring.

TEACHERS This fall, classroom grants were powered by a $25,000 donation from the Duke Energy Foundation.

“They are two of my favorite days each year,” ZEF Executive Director Lyle Browne said. “The excitement, disbelief, gratitude and pure joy on the faces of the teachers receiving grants is amazing. It is on these days that the community support we receive throughout the year comes together to truly help teachers as they create innovative projects for students.”

The foundation operates as a nonprofit that aims to provide funds to help promote educational excellence. Donations from individuals, corporations and local businesses combine to bring life to innovative projects.

“This broad community support comes together as ZEF funds classrooms, Imagine Professional Development, strategic initiatives and student enrichment grants,” Browne said. “ZEF enables teachers and administrators to dream big for students and education in a school district that is the lowest funded per student in the state of Indiana.”

Due to the Duke Energy Foundation and other donors, ZEF was able to fund 13

grants this fall, covering seven Zionsville Community Schools.

“Shrieks of joy, a happy dance, surprise and excitement were found along the way as the ZEF Prize Patrol awarded $28,068.11 in grants to ZCS teachers and schools,” Browne said. “The grants fund creative ideas in many areas including STEM, cultural understandings, social and emotional learning and unique uses of technology in the classroom.”

Browne has been with the foundation for 2 1/2 years and lives in Zionsville with her husband, Anthony, and their three children – all of whom attended Zionsville Community Schools.

The home of Michael and Lisa Sandy at 485 W. Pine St. in Zionsville has been designated as the first SulliCOVER STORY vanMunce Cultural Center Century Structure.

The program honors Zionsville’s architecturally significant and historic residential and commercial structures that are at least 100 years old.

The Century Structure program was established in 1987 by the Zionsville Historical Society, and the SullivanMunce Cultural Center took control of the initiative last year.

Prior to SullivanMunce gaining control of the program, the Zionsville Historical Society recognized 21 homes with the designation.

The Sandys are no novices to living in a home more than 100 years old, though.

“We’ve lived in Zionsville since 1978, and we knew this home was very old, but we didn’t know how old it was,” Michael Sandy said. “We knew we lived in a really old part of Zionsville and knew this house had an interesting history.”

The Sandys purchased the home in 1988.

They learned about some of its more interesting historical stories on an annual ghost walk one year.

“They talked about a shooting that took place in the backyard,” Michael Sandy said.

“Someone tried to break in this house and the gentleman who lived here was a very prominent citizen, and he woke up and heard some commotion. So, he got his shotgun and chased the would-be burglars back out the window. It was nighttime, so he shot in the dark and went to bed.

“He got up next morning to a body in the backyard. To me, the most interesting part is the other two guys came back and rifled his pockets and left.”

The original home was three rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs. Now, there’s an extra bedroom and several other rooms added, making it nearly double the original size. The porch, windows, plaster and floors all are original.

Stacy said the exterior of the home is mostly what the committee considers when deciding to award the designation.

“The Century Structure program is mainly interested in the front of the home or the exterior, and what is so wonderfully portrayed in this home is (its history) not only outside but inside,” Stacy said. “One of the problems we are having is you get people who want to gut out an old home and make it an ‘open concept,’ but plank floors and the original structure are irreplaceable and precious.”

Sandy said one of the main guidelines for the Century Structure program is whether the original owner of the home would be able to stand on the sidewalk and recognize the structure. He said the home looks nearly identical to when it was built circa 1866.

Executive Director Cynthia Young said SullivanMunce hoped to take control of the Century Structure program because it aligned with the center’s values.

“It goes along with our mission to preserve Zionsville’s history, so we felt, and the Zionsville Historical Society too felt, it was a good fit for our mission,” Young said. In the future, as the program develops, Young said home tours of the Century Structures may be offered.

140 South Fifth Date approved: June 14, 2000 The home at 485 W. Pine St. was the first Century Structure recipient since the SullivanMunce Cultural Center took over the program.

ESSAY

LETTER

A skill mastered

Vote ‘yes’

Commentary by Terry Anker Everything old is new again. As life moves ever too rapidly from one moment to the next, icons appear and then fade into our shared experience. One minute, we are all enjoying “Scooby Doo,” the next is “Hill Street Blues,” then “Friends,” then, in an instant, “The Big Bang Theory.”

Our favorite actors and tag lines give way to new ones. The coffee mugs and T-shirts reminding us “let’s be careful out there” are traded for ones bearing images of Ron Swanson.” Our deep, emotional investment in whether Tony Soprano would ultimately get whacked turns out to be no more important to the subsequent generations than who shot JR. It is all quite disheartening. Did we waste those years spent waiting to see if Coyote would finally get the Road Runner for dinner? But surely, our perfecting the ideal way to separate Oreos or rapidly remove the orange from Cheetos will have use as we accelerate even further into adulthood, but it doesn’t seem to come up in the corporate cafeteria as it did in the elementary school lunchroom.

Still for many of us, a skill mastered only requires an opportunity to reemerge. Let each generation decide the content. But shouldn’t our grandkids know how to drain the crème filling out of a Twinkie?

Don’t our children deserve to know the sublime joy of Igor’s hump in “Young Frankenstein?” And, aren’t we the ones to tell them? Even more, it seems that Flamin’ Hot Cheetos pair beautifully with an aged barrel-strength bourbon. We can still learn!

Grab a rabbit’s foot Commentary by Danielle Wilson Are you superstitious? I am. I truly believe the only way the University of Louisville can win a game is if I wear my Cards T-shirt with a pair of Express jeans HUMOR and avoid caffeine and pickles for the entire day. And that hearing Rod Stewart’s “Forever Young” in full means a family member is pregnant. I also never take chances with sidewalk cracks, tails-up pennies, spilled salt or black cats, for obvious reasons.

Part of my superstitious nature I blame on genetics. I am a ginger twin and have supposedly inherited special sensory connections to my sister. Although, it’s really only worked one time, and that was on her end. Furthermore, by all accounts, my maternal grandmother was “born under the veil” and therefore had “the sight.” And my mom is extremely intuitive; she always knew when I was “with child,” even before

Rod Stewart or I knew.

So I’ve grown up with both an appreciation for trusting my instincts and the belief that “signs” foretelling the future do exist for those who choose to read them. (Case in point: My favorite show, “This is Us,” had a whole storyline devoted to the Vietnam War; I was then awarded a teaching grant to Vietnam. Coincidence? I think not.)

Anyway, I bring this topic up because the most superstitious (and awesome-est) holiday of the year, Halloween, is upon us.

Weird things can and will happen, especially if you’re not prepared. So, grab a rabbit’s foot, wear some garlic, and take care around mirrors. And if you hear “Forever Young,” congratulations! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “I have not special talent, I am only passionately curious.”

— Albert Einstein

Editor, I’m a new homeowner and I have a 4-year-old who currently attends Pleasant View Universal Preschool. I am hopeful that, as a community, we will be able to pass the operating and construction referendums in this upcoming election so we can keep our schools properly funded.

I’d like to take this opportunity to offer the following definitions - this is my understanding and interpretation of the many, many yard signs encouraging us to vote ‘yes’ for both referendums: Protect class sizes: Make sure we have enough money in the budget to renovate the existing buildings to support our current student population and build a new school; we need to pass the construction referendum so that there is space for the existing student body and the new students who will join ZCS in the coming years.

Protect home values: Home values are frequently tied to the quality of a community’s school system. If the operating referendum doesn’t pass, we won’t be able to fund salaries for a third of our teaching staff. As you could expect, a sharp decrease in the number of teachers would negatively impact the quality of our students’ education. This could then impact the value of our homes in the district.

Emily Tong, Zionsville

Approve referenda

Protect our Second Amendment

Editor, I will be voting yes for both school referenda for two very important reasons: As the mother of a first-grade boy, I want the best for him moving forward.

This referendum will absolutely directly affect the education he receives for much of his school career. The construction and operating referendums ensure that there will be adequate classroom space for our growing student body and enough quality teachers to keep class sizes reasonable.

Losing one-third of our teaching staff is an unimaginable reality I have lived as a teacher in another district, and it was not pretty. The teachers that were still employed when the dust settled were quickly confronted with unteachable, large class sizes. Grades plummeted, along with graduation rates. Unacceptable behaviors increased, making learning difficult for the other students and miserable for teachers. Our building fell apart, literally. The good teachers still at the schools quickly found jobs at neighboring districts that could offer more money, after their own referendums had passed. To say teacher morale was at a low would be a tremendous understatement.

We cannot take for granted that our school district will always be a good one. I have seen firsthand how quickly things can change, and I don’t want to see this happen here.

We chose Zionsville for two reasons: Main Street and the ZCS system. We want to see both continue to prosper. I hope you will join me in voting yes to both school referenda on Nov. 5.

Aimee Simington-Pearce, Zionsville

Editor, Our Second Amendment is under fire and being attacked. Our forefathers had great foresight ability with what could happen in the future after fighting off the British rule.

This amendment was so important that it came in second after the first amendment.

I am so grateful for their brilliance in this conception.

Today, America is experiencing mass shootings along with individual shootings across the country. I ask, why is this happening now? I grew up in the ’50s and ’60s and we did not experience this. We felt safe. Is it because the men of then were allowed to be men and would stop such nonsense in its tracks versus people of today being afraid to stand up for what is right

Losing one-third of our teaching staff is an unimaginable reality I have lived as a teacher in another district, and it was not pretty.

when it comes to protecting themselves, families, neighbors and communities?

There is an undercurrent which is raising its ugly head in slowly trying to disarm the American citizenry, especially law-abiding gun owners. The Democratic candidates running for president of the United States tout their dislike of firearms and share what they will do if elected president. Why do they want to harm innocent gun owners who are not involved in any shootings?

Why are they not intelligent enough to see what is really happening here in our nation when it comes to the use of firearms?

If you are an American citizen, what are you going to do to protect the right of the Second Amendment?

Mari Briggs, Sheridan

While waiting in the doctor’s office the other day, I picked up a copy of “Handyman Magazine.”

HUMOR One story was what to do if your Gorilla Glue hardens in the tube, and there also was one on how to dig post holes in sandy soil. I read both of those carefully. After 40 years, Mary Ellen and I are always looking for something new to talk about. There was a three-page spread on “How to Cure a Sick Ceiling Fan.” What would the fan be complaining of? Periodic dizziness?

One piece was called “Best Advice for DIYers.” I thought it was going to be about how to successfully drink and drill at the same time. Then I discovered that a DIY is a Do-ItYourselfer. Another entry was titled “How to Make a Hidden Cutting Board.” I can never find ours when we need it, so I decided to skip that kitchen improvement project.

The best read was “Maintaining Your Chimney.” It contains a list of what you will need to do the job, stuff found around most houses. You need brushable crown sealer, chimney water repellent and a stain-

The regular monthly column is about making your own tools—a way to either save money or create a gadget not available in hardware stores. In this issue, the author showed how to take a long flexible, piece of tubing and attach a flashlight at the end for work in dark, hard-to-reach places, as in a do-it-yourself plumbing project.

Hopwood Cellars to plant local vineyard, build second winery

By Nancy Price news@currentzionsville.com Hopwood Cellars Winery has plans to add a vineyard and a 10,000- to 15,000-squarefoot winery on 16 acres at GROWTH 2055 and 2201 S. Michigan Rd. in Zionsville.

On Oct. 8, the Zionsville Board of Zoning Appeals approved all three variances for Hopwood Cellars to move forward with its plans for the property.

The existing winery at 12 E. Cedar St. will remain open.

Ron Hopwood, founder of Hopwood Cellars, said he looks forward to conducting a variety of events with the additional space, including weddings, catered dinners and brunch on the weekends.

“Here in downtown Zionsville, we have parking problems and constrained space,” he said. “There, we’ll have the freedom to do all kinds of great things that we can’t have here.”

Plans for the project, with an estimated cost of $1.8 million, also will include a tasting room and a 5,000- to 7,000-square-foot production facility.

“We’re planning on at least two stories,” Hopwood said. “Our goal is to build from the ground up. We might convert a 150-year-old barn into something (in the meantime). It’s a five-year phase. We’re waiting on funds right now.”

Hopwood said he plans to feature live music from a gazebo in the middle of the vineyard a few times each month during the summer and fall.

ENGINEERED TO EXHILARATE & INSPIRE Ron Hopwood plans to conduct a variety of events, including weddings and catered dinners and brunches, when the second winery opens.

“It’s going to be calm and harmonious,” he said. “There’s nothing better than having some live music and having picnics next to some grapevines.”

Hopwood ultimately plans to conduct more events indoors once the second winery is completed and open to the public, expected in 2024.

“The goal is to eventually have most everything indoors and not be dependent on the weather,” he said.

Currently, the winery contracts with vendors in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan 80 percent of the time.

“I want to be able to create some estate wines, nurtured from birth, to put in bottles,” Hopwood said. “It’s something really cool to be able to get your hands on the grapes from your own vineyard.”

Librarian’s obituary sparks playwright to create ‘Alabama Story’; ATI to present

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The concept for “Alabama Story” came to Kenneth Jones while reading The New York Times’ obituary of Emily Reed in PLAY 2000.

Reed, who was born in North Carolina in 1910, moved to Indiana as a baby. She grew up in Culver, where her father was a doctor and earned her undergraduate degree from Indiana University.

She eventually became the director of the Alabama Public Library Service Division.

“In 1959, she was persecuted by politicians because she defend a children’s book about a white rabbit that marries a black rabbit,” Jones said. “In Montgomery, Alabama, and other places, the mix of races was not embraced. I was fascinated by it. I thought she was a big American character with big ideas and big drive to protect her world.”

Actors Theatre of Indiana will present the Indiana premiere of “Alabama Story” Oct. 25 through Nov. 17 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts. Jones will be there for the opening weekend.

Cynthia Collins plays Reed, who defended keeping Garth Williams’ book “The Rabbits’ Wedding,” in the library. A southern state senator named Edward Oswell Eddins tries to ban the book in 1959, accusing it of promoting integration and interracial marriage.

“These people went to the extreme to stop integration,” Collins said.

Collins said ATI co-founder Don Farrell brought the play as one of his choices to the table for the new season.

“He said, ‘Cindy you could be the librarian, and I can be the senator. These roles are really good for us,’” Collins said.

Collins said she had to read it twice to really sink into it and decided it was a great part.

“She’s kind of an unsung hero, very understated,” she said. “She did win the Freedom to Read medal right before she died. She knew it, but she died before it

could be presented to her.”

Farrell, 50, plays the character based on E.O. Eddins, who is named Sen. E.W. Higgins.

“He was a big segregationist in the lines of (former Alabama Gov. George) Wallace,” said Farrell, who was born in North Carolina and eventually moved to Chattanooga to an Atlanta suburb.

Farrell said it is difficult to repeat some of the racist lines, like “we stick with our own kind.”

“For some reason, it wouldn’t get in my head,” he said. “But growing up, I knew a lot of people that held these beliefs. I don’t think it’s indicative of just the South.

“There are still lessons where we came from and how far we have to go.”

Maeghan Looney, based in Chicago, plays Lily Whitfield.

“Lily is a born and bred daughter of Alabama. Her father is the head of cotton company,” Looney said. “She also grew up in a sheltered bubble.”

Jones created fictional character, Whitfield, and a black man named Joshua Moore, played by Cameron Bass, to illustrate the social environment of the time.

Looney said her character and Moore were childhood friends.

“But they hadn’t seen each other in 20 years,” said Looney, a Huntington North

High School and Ball State graduate. “It’s about coming to grips with what happened in the past. They see it differently because of their place in this era. It’s about how to move forward from there.”

Jane Unger, from Oregon, is serving as director. Unger was contacted just a few weeks before rehearsals began because the original director had to withdraw for family reasons.

“I love the play, and it’s good fit for me,” she said.

SPECIAL SESSIONS There will be a talkback session with playwright Kenneth Jones, ATI co-founder Don Farrell and faith leaders, including Carmel Interfaith Alliance President Rev. Jerry Zehr, following the 2 p.m. show Oct. 27.

On Nov. 2, Culver Academies alumni will receive $5 off the ticket price in addition to a meet-and-greet with Jones. On Nov. 15, IU alumni will receive the same discount and meet-and-greet using the promo code IUNIGHT online.

Cardholders with the Carmel Clay Public Library or Indianapolis Public Library also can receive a $5 discount.

“They can expect the same vibe of show, comedy, magic, music, theater and different emotions with all new tricks,” Super said. “We’re going to be doing a time travel trick this time, and I’m going to jump in the future and meet a future one of them and bring back proof, which is always pretty flabbergasting for the audience.”

Perfect for near Halloween, Super said he will predict a murder in a live game of “Clue” with the audience.

“It’s all, of course, family friendly,” he said. “We are going to make an audience member disappear. Last time we made someone levitate, this time we are going to

make one disappear for 3 1/2 minutes, and then we’ll bring them back because it’s the law.”

Super, who lives in Pittsburgh with his wife Brooke and their two daughters, said he tests his magic on daughters, Farrah, 10, and Fiona, 6.

Blueprint for Improvement: More room for family on Sweetwater Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

Background: Built in 1974, this waterfront home in Ninevah, Ind., is a welcome weekend getaway destination for a busy Fishers family.

THE CHALLENGE The 1,700-square-foot, two-story home didn’t offer the homeowners and their grown children a lot of livable space, indoors or out.

Odd-sloped ceilings in the living and dining area cut into valuable floor space. The previous addition to the second floor wasn’t taking full advantage of the lake views.

After

THE SOLUTION 1. The small windows in the second-floor living area were replaced with a wide, four-panel sliding glass door, which offers unobstructed views of the water.

2. By adjusting the roofline on the second floor, the sloped ceiling in the living area was removed, providing an openness that the space was initially lacking.

3. Luxury vinyl flooring was chosen for the living area, thanks to its durability and water-resistant properties.

4. The second-floor deck was added and extends past the screened porch to provide ample room for relaxing with friends and family.

5. Tongue-and-groove carsiding was used on the second-floor deck ceiling.

Don’t say the same thing twice Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Luna Park in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Sydney’s Luna Park face welcomes guests Commentary by Don Knebel Luna Park in Sydney, Australia, is among the world’s most iconic amusement parks. It also is among the world’s most TRAVEL haunted. In 1903, Luna Park, a spectacular new amusement park, opened on New York’s Coney Island.

The concept soon spread to Australia, with Luna Park Melbourne opening in 1912. In 1935, another Luna Park opened on Milsons Point along the north shore of Sydney Harbour. Luna Park Milsons Point was an immediate success, with people standing in long lines to ride the Big Dipper, a wooden roller coaster. Visitors entered through a huge face, which became the symbol of the park. Luna Park was particularly popular with American sailors on shore leave during World War II, leading to a temporary reputation for prostitution and brawling. In 1972, at the height of its popularity, Luna Park began staying open year-round, eliminating the winter downtime previously employed to maintain the rides. The decision proved disastrous. In April 1979, 13 people were

injured when one Big Dipper car smashed into another stalled by a malfunction. In June 1979, the park closed after a fire on the Ghost Train killed six children and one adult.

The park closed again in 1988 when inspectors found that several of the rides were unsafe. In 1994, noise complaints from nearby residents led to another closure. When Luna Park reopened in 1995 with greatly restricted hours, financial difficulties soon led to yet another closure. The park reopened in 2004, owned by the Luna Park Reserve Trust, a government agency. With newer and safer rides, Luna Park is again among Sydney’s most popular destinations. The 30-foot-wide smiling face at the entrance is the park’s eighth. Constructed in 1994 from polyurethane and modeled on an image of Old King Cole, it is registered as a heritage site by the government of New South Wales.

DISPATCH A quick history of trick-or-treating — Trick-or-treating for candy is synonymous with Halloween, but the tradition had to go through a centuries-long evolution to arrive at the place it is today. Historians agree that a Celtic autumn festival called Samhain was the precursor to modern Halloween. Samhain was a time to celebrate the last harvest of the year and the approach of the winter season. It also was a festival for honoring the dead. One way Celtics may have appeased the spirits they believed still walked the Earth was by leaving treats on their doorsteps. In America, the first Halloween celebrations were a way to mark the end-of-year harvest season, and the food that was served mainly consisted of homemade seasonal treats like caramel apples and mixed nuts. It wasn’t until the 1950s that trick-ortreating for homemade treats gained popularity in the U.S. That changed when the candy companies got their hands on the holiday. Manufacturers downsized candies into smaller, bite-sized packages and began marketing them as treats for Halloween.

If you drive an hour from my house, you can get to an Indiana city named Gas City. If you drive into town, you’ll reach the City of Gas City GRAMMAR GUY City Hall. Did they have to do this to themselves? I like to think that the person who decided on this name did it in an attempt to be saucy. Yet, today you can visit the City of Gas City City Hall. While this is incredibly repetitive, it’s not an example of tautology.

Tautology is a form of repetition where the same thing is said twice using different words. In the City of Gas City City Hall, you’re saying the same thing three times using the same words. We get the word “tautology” from the Greek noun “tautologos,” meaning “repeating what is said.” The Gas City example is an instance of tautophony, which is the repetition of the same sound.

Here’s a sarcastic use of tautology by one of my heroes, Mark Twain: “Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

In an age of limited bandwidth and diminished attention spans, brevity is not only the soul of wit, as Shakespeare wrote in “Hamlet,” but brevity is the soul of effective communication.

Can you repeat that again? That’s a prime example of tautology. How about this one: “It’s déjà vu all over again.” This is one of my favorite Yogi-isms, which is the official term for off-the-wall quotes from legendary baseball hall-of-famer Yogi Berra. It’s also redundant and unnecessary. I did it right there; I didn’t need to say redundant AND unnecessary; only one of the words is sufficient.

Maybe I’m beating a dead horse (a.k.a. committing idiomatic tautology) by writing an entire article on tautology. Perhaps I could have simply said, “Be brief and then be done.” However, I felt it necessary to explore the proverbial halls of the City of Tautology City City Hall.
