Impact of Meijer store in Whitestown

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionville.com

‘Mom and Pops’ have been Zionsville’s retail foundation forever. From the one-of-a-kind stores on Main Street, to Boone Village, to business local artisans and restaurateurs, they are what makes Zionsville unique and original. Since 1955, the place to buy hardware has been Akard’s. The store is well-known and woven into the community. The proprietors went to high school here, raised their families here and are fully vested in this town. So what impact will the opening of the new Meijer store in Whitestown have on Akard’s? According to Leigh Ann Akard, who owns the store with her father, Steve Akard, the impact could be devastating, but they will work to keep the “big box” from hurting their business. “We just really try to keep it (Akard’s) local. What people don’t realize is that we still have buying power and are competitively priced, yet being a coop means we are independently owned,” she said. “We are good for the community and the community is good for us. What money is made here stays here, as well as the taxes paid here.” Her concern with Meijer and any other development coming to Zionsville is that consumers often give in to the big boxes. “If they go to Meijer for groceries, they say, ‘Oh, look at these shoes’ or ‘I can get my furnace filters or hoses here today’ and they don’t come down to Boone Village,” Akard said. “Boone Village is strong because of what we offer all together; we all depend on each other and this is true for Main Street, too,” she said. “The big boxes will take away business from all of us.” But Akard’s is going to do what it’s always done and what has made it so successful through personalized customer service. “We are able to respond to needs as they arise and are local. When Meijer opens, we will keep ourselves fresh and new with the pulse on what our customers’ needs and wants are,” she said. Frank J. Guglielmi, senior director of communications for Meijer headquarters in Grand Rapids, Mich., said the store is on schedule to open late this spring and that the formal ribbon cutting will be about a month prior to the grand opening. “The Meijer store in Whitestown Township will

DISPATCHES Correction - The Jan. 28 edition’s cover story, Roadmap through the Village, carried the incorrect subheading “Plan commission approves TIS.” It should have read, “Plan commission postpones decision.” As noted, the plan commission will review the TIS draft during its Feb. 19 meeting.

open in late spring 2014. The gas station will open about 30 days prior to the store. The store will employee approximately 250 people and we’ll be announcing details about the hiring process in the coming weeks,” Guglielmi said. “The addition of Meijer will have a monumental impact on Boone County. The location of the Meijer facility will create an economic boost not only from customers in Whitestown and Boone County, but also travelers along I-65,” said Joe LaPage, director of marketing and communications for Boone County Economic Development. “We won’t know Meijer’s full impact on brick-and-mortar until it opens its doors in 2014. The hope is always that all businesses can coexist and continue to thrive,” LaPage said. “Instead of resting on our laurels, we will reintroduce ourselves,” Akard said. “We have or niche and are department-strong; we take in feedback to grow, for example, by adding new flower selections that will be exclusive to us. That’s something the big boxes can’t provide their customers: service, convenience and selection.” For more details on Meijer, including its philanthropic efforts and free medication program, please go to the newsroom at http://newsroom.meijer.com/.

Daycare investigation concludes

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com It was a normal morning at Dawn ‘Til Dusk daycare in Zionsville. Babies were fed, diapers were changed and cribs were update prepped for naptime. But for one little girl, this would be her last morning. Last Aug. 27, 3-month-old Charlotte Henthorn was found unresponsive in her crib. According to Deputy Scott Pell of the Boone County Sheriff’s Dept., the investigation into Henthorn’s death ended after the Indiana State Police declared no wrongdoing on the part of the daycare facility. “I think what happened with the infant was truly very unexpected and innocent,” said former Dawn ‘Til Dusk employee Emily Michaels. The investigation concluded that Henthorn died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. According to the American Association of Pe-

diatrics, SIDS affects nearly 2,000 infants every year across America and cannot be detected in healthy babies. It was formerly thought that asphyxiation was linked to these deaths. Asphyxiation, through the use of pillows or blankets in a child’s crib, was not involved in this case. “I think [Dawn ‘Til Dusk] is safe,” Michaels said. “I worked in the nursery mostly and I loved it. Each room has phones so if help was ever needed it was just a phone call away and Dawn, the owner, checked in frequently.” Dawn Ludlow Lantz, of Zionsville, has owned the licensed childcare facility since its opening in 1991. “There was no neglect of any kind,” Lantz stated in an e-mail to Current in Zionsville. “I have known the owner of Dawn ‘Til Dusk for years,” said former Zionsville resident Krysta Hoover. “She is amazing and runs an amazing business.” South Main Street is official - On Jan. 21, the signage on the corner of 106th and Zionsville roads changed to South Main for the portion of Zionsville Rd. north of 106th St. This change was in conjunction with the opening of Bub’s that week in the new South Village.

Public hearing to address Ford Rd. By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com In a timeline that can only be described as long, the tale of Ford Road Bridge has yet to reach its final chapter. On Feb. 6 a public hearing will debate be held in Town Hall in conjunction with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. According to Brad Baldwin, environmental manager with the DNR, this hearing will focus on three topics: the efficiency and capacity of the floodway to Eagle Creek, the safety of life or property, and the impact on fish, wildlife and botanical resources. The Ford Road Bridge project has been in the works since 1995, when the town recognized the need to replace the existing bridge on South Ford Road. In an agreement with the Indiana Department of Transportation, a truss bridge from Shelby County would be moved to Zionsville in order to maintain the historical nature of the truss and the Hunt Club area. However, upon further review this truss bridge was considered too narrow for the site causing the Town Council to discuss the other option of building a concrete bridge. INDOT had promised Zionsville more than $2.5 million for the project. This amount has since been retracted by INDOT until new plans for a bridge are drafted. The public hearing with the DNR is one step

6825 Woodhaven Place

A sign that is posted near the entrance onto the Ford Road Bridge states that the town may soon lose the bridge and that the Town Council “lost” over $3 million in state funding to reconstruct it. This is an inaccurate statement, as INDOT did retract its $2.5 million grant to reconstruct the site, but has stated it is open to evaluating the situation in the future.

in the direction of the town being able to make new plans. In a letter to Hunt Club residents, who have been vocal in what will happen with this bridge, resident Bruce Williams wrote that this meeting will be a good opportunity to see what the current bridge plans are and to possible ask questions. “If you have concerns and want additional information this may be your last chance to do so,” he stated. The hearing will be held on Thursday, Feb. 6 at 5:30pm in the Beverly Harves Room in Town Hall.

February is American Heart Month. That means St.Vincent Health is redoubling its efforts toward public education about the importance of heart Edward Fry, M.D. health awareness and taking the steps needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Most people aren’t aware that heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in this country. That fact is often a great revelation, especially regarding women’s health. Although it’s a common belief that breast cancer is the number one cause of death in women, the number of fatalities due to heart disease is actually about three times greater. And becuase heart disease strikes both men and women, it’s an equal opportunity problem. An estimated one out of every three people is affected by some element of heart disease. But the good news is that there are preventive steps you can take to help improve your chances. The first step is to know your risks. It’s essential to have an assessment with your primary care physician about the various risk factors for heart disease. This includes smoking history, family history, weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, conditions such as obesity or diabetes, and other factors. Once you know your risks, the next step is to minimize the ones that are controllable. Family history is an example of a factor we

can’t control. But even though we can’t pick our parents, we can manage our blood pressure. We can avoid smoking. We can exercise and keep our weight down. In short, it’s all about starting with the basics: a conversation with your primary care physician to help assess your risks. Then, based on your risk profile, your primary care provider may recommend lifestyle changes or medication to reduce those risks, testing to further identify those risks, such as certain imaging tests (coronary calcium scoring, stress testing, etc.), or referral to a cardiologist for further evaluation. American Heart Month is a great time to make heart health awareness top-of-mind. Of course, for cardiologists, every month is heart awareness month, but we’re a little more vocal about it in February. St.Vincent Health is behind American Heart Month in a very big way thanks to our support of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women initiative. That’s our educational and community outreach campaign to help raise awareness that women are as prone to heart disease as men. 2014 is actually a very special milestone for women’s heart health. This year is not only the tenth anniversary of Go Red for Women, it’s the tenth year St.Vincent Health has been the presenting sponsor. Talk to your physician to find out if a HeartScan is right for you. To schedule a HeartScan at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, just call 866-432-4457. And learn more at BestHeartCare.com.

New furnace – better than the old Commentary by Ward Deglar

We just replaced our furnace. The old one gave up after 17 years, three years short of filling the 20-year warranty. Even Plain Talk so, I figure it didn’t owe us anything. I sit in the living room now and try to feel the difference between the old unit’s 80 percent efficiency and the new one’s 93 percent efficiency. I can’t tell anything yet, but they tell me it will show up in lower heating bills. To be blunt, concern over a modern furnace’s efficiency seems ridiculous in light of how we heated our home back in the dark ages of my youth. We had a wood-burning stove back then. It was at least 120 percent efficient within a fivefoot radius, singeing our socks if we got too close, while barely melting the frost on the other side of the room. Ditto for the fuel oil stove that graced our home later. When we finally moved into a house that had central heating, we didn’t know how to behave. Artist reception - Classy & Sassy by Laura LaForge artist reception will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center, 225 W. Hawthorne St. in Zionsville. For more information call 873-4900.

Suddenly I could get dressed in my own bedroom rather than scampering into the living room and slipping red-faced into my BVDs behind the stove while everybody, including my sister, watched and smirked. This marvelous furnace sat in the cellar, burned coal, erupted periodically with burps of black smoke and soot, and had to be stoked with a shovel several times a day. On weekends it had to be cleaned of ashes and cinders by hand. Dad shoveled the coal. I handled the ashes. After six days the ash pit was always full. It also had smoldering embers that burned holes in my jeans and put blisters on my hands. It was hard, dirty work. But whenever I felt like complaining, I remembered that I no longer had to get dressed in front of my dumb old sister. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog.

Friendship that sparkles

Amy Lacy receives chamber award

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Her friends say she sparkles, but Amy Lacy says she is just an average gal. “I still can’t wrap my mind around all of this,” Lacy said. “I was in utter cover story shock and surprise.” The Zionsville Chamber of Commerce awarded Lacy the annual Town Crier award at its Jan. 24 banquet. This award is given to members of the community who have shown outstanding compassion and service. “Someone must have nominated me but I still don’t know who it was,” Lacy said. “And I still don’t know why (he or she) did!” Lacy was born and raised on the north side of Indianapolis, and since losing her mother to Alzheimer’s disease several years ago, she has helped raise more than $120,000 for Alzheimer’s research through the annual Zionsville event, Z’Sparkle Party Drag Race to End Alzheimer’s Last year alone, Z’Sparkle raised nearly $70,000. “I feel very undeserving, I am proud of this award but it’s not just for me. Raising money would not have been possible without all of the volunteers,” Lacy said. “I immediately thought of all the people who worked to make Z’Sparkle so special.” Throughout her years living in Zionsville, Lacy has also volunteered with Maplelawn Farmstead, the Sullivan Munce Ghost Walk, the Kiwanis Club, the Zionsville Parks Board Facilities, the Planning Committee, and co-chaired the VIP Christmas event with Leigh Ann Akard. Lacy said since she received this award she feels like she needs to work harder in the community and “prove herself.” One way she hopes

to do this is by working with elderly people in Zionsville Meadows one-on-one instead of just raising money. “That is vintage Amy,” said her friend, Anne Ryder. Ryder, a former newscaster and journalist, has been friends with Lacy since childhood and says she met her when Lacy “had braids in her hair and roller skates on her feet.“My mother forced me to go and say hi to the nice little girl down the street,” Ryder remembers fondly. “But we became fast friends.” Ryder was a special part of the chamber’s award night because she surprised Lacy by presenting her with the award. “My friend Leigh Ann Akard told me to come on

Friday because Bob Goodman was receiving an award,” Lacy said. “But when I saw Anne walk out I knew the award was not for Bob, it was for me.” Ryder said she hid in the coat closet before walking into the room. “I came late and hid from her,” she said. “I think she was truly shocked and touched by the whole

On the lookout for interns

FROM THE BACKSHOP Mother Nature rules the schools For now, we’re uncertain as to whether days will be added to the Zionsville Community Schools calendar as a result of the recent harsh weather. If the schools’ administration decides to add days at the end of the academic year, it will be the correct decision, in our opinion. Whereas we always advocate businesses open their doors unless Mother Nature delivers a disaster moment, keeping the students at home is a just priority, when wind chills close in on minus-40 degrees or visibility is so poor that buses full of students are at risk. The decision to close or delay schools of and on since the start of the year does not equate to a “weather freak-out.” It’s the implementation of common sense, and it is to be applauded. The state, we hope, will waive one of the snow days. This could mean Zionsville Community High School’s graduation ceremony could be postponed to a different date for the same reason. Additional rescheduling of everything could happen, too, if any inclement weather causes additional full-day closings. ••• Now that the ominously frigid temperatures apparently are gone with the wind, we’d like to issue a heartfelt “well done” to the Boone County Sheriff’s Dept., which, via Nixle (www. nixle.com), kept us abreast of every-changing weather conditions. The sheriff’s crew does a magnificent job using this service, and we believe you should take a look at it and make use of it. We’re fond of saying, “Weather happens” – and not only in winter. We rely on the feeds from the sheriff’s office throughout the year. It’s a tremendous resource for anyone wishing to pay heed with respect to inclement weather, travel, general safety and protection. As a deputy in neighboring Hamilton County stated last week, “The yellow Travel Advisory … has been lifted and is no longer in effect. There are currently no advisories in the county. Wow!” Quite a ride it was. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

WANDERING AROUND Z-VILLE

Where’s Julie this week?

A happy medium Commentary by Terry Anker Folks who don’t claim English as their native tongue, are often heard to express frustration when learning our language of the many words that claim many meanings. A word can be a verb, noun or adjective. It can be defined by context, by mood or by regional dialect. Perhaps even more confusing, it can be demarcated in several mutually exclusive ways. The word “medium,” for example, is known to be both a unit of measure, a material and a person. It can be the size of drink between a small and a large – although I must admit that one rarely sees a small option on the menu at any American restaurant. We tend to stick with large and EXTRA large. Also, the word medium may be used as an expression of the material used in the construction of art. A mixed-medium piece would be constituted of several different substances used collectively to make the whole. And, don’t forget that a medium might be a person (one who fills the space between the spirit world, if we believe in these

kinds of things, and our corporal existence); or a medium might be used to express the job or role of someone who might fill this space between ghost and ghost-seeker. One doesn’t wonder at the confusion. Even as someone who can claim English the mothertongue, I find myself flummoxed by each generation’s fascination with taking a well-established word or phrase and redefining it in new and unexpected ways. As a case-in-point, it could be expected that the much-discussed gay marriage debate has little to do with allowing or disallowing gayety, once commonly defined as meaning a sense of happiness or joyfulness, in the institution. Indeed, it might not be a bad idea for legislatures to attempt to pass a law requiring this sort of gay marriage. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Looking for writing experience? A chance to get published? Exposure of your work to 108,113 households on the north side of Indianapolis? I may have a solution for you. I have started my new position of coordinating and training interns and would love to talk with you about internship positions available. I know what you’re thinking. “Me? I don’t have enough experience. I’ve never done anything like that before.” A year and a half ago, I said the same thing when I walked through Current’s door with two goals - to gain experience and be a contributor. I came with no published writing experience, a business background, and a Masters of Divinity degree. Not the typical resume to become a journalist, but here I am. We are always on the lookout for people who love to write and who are involved in their community. Story topics are broad from entertainment to profile pieces to new businesses, and we welcome both high school/college students and adults. Any stay-at- home moms out there ready to do something creative after having the kids at home 24/7 during the snowapacalypse? Recently, I have been working with students on their J-term who are home from school, and I’m continually impressed with the talent of our youth. If you have any doubt, check out the Night and Day cover this week and read The Second City story by DePauw sophomore, Zach Manges. Photography is also an option, especially if you love to get out and about and enjoy events around town. So, if you love to write or snap photos, maybe it’s time to share your talent with the world, or at least the Zionsville community. If so, send me an email with samples and I will be in touch. Until then, my wandering continues....

Magic-mom touch saves birthday Commentary by Danielle Wilson I recently celebrated a birthday. My mom came up for the occasion and took my daughters and me out for a whirlwind shopping humor spree that ended with the mother lode of all sales ($60 to $90 coats marked down to $5. FIVE DOLLARS!). That evening, we ordered pizza and heard her stories of being pregnant in the ‘70s, learning she was carrying twins two weeks prior to delivering (thanks to an honest-to-God X-ray, which might explain quite a few things about me!) and deciding what boy names she’d chosen for each of her five daughters. (Your favorite columnist could have been Mark.) But the best part of the day came at an unexpected moment. I was shoving clothes into my teenage son’s dresser so my mom could at least find the bed she’d be sleeping in when I slammed the drawer closed on my finger. The pain was so intense I almost vomited when I got to the kitchen sink, but Mom was at my side immediately. As I ran cold water over my hand, she began rubbing my back, comforting me with her words and presence. She kept telling me I would be OK, that it didn’t look that bad. She gave me ibuprofen and then prepared an ice pack. She instructed me to sit down and elevate my hand, all while keeping my kids away and distracting me with comments about our house and the

weather and how a younger sister, much like I do, goes bat-poo crazy at her fourth-grader’s basketball games. I didn’t realize it until later, but the best part of my birthday was that hour on the couch with my mom. Sure, my wounded finger had throbbed like nobody’s business, but I had someone taking care of me. I was allowed to just be a hurting child again and not worry about all the parental duties and responsibilities I was neglecting. Normally if I am indisposed due to illness or traumatic injury, the kids show sympathy for about two minutes, only until they need help with homework or finding their lunch boxes or whatever. And my husband, though amazing, just isn’t used to being a caregiver. If I go down for the count, Doo responds either like a deer in headlights, paralyzed by panic, or like a typical man, somewhat short on empathy. But moms are special. They have that magical touch of knowing exactly what to say and do to “make it all better.” And guess what? They never lose that touch, even when their babies are 40ish. So despite my nearly lopping off my finger, I enjoyed a wonderful birthday, thanks to my mom (and the $5 coats!). Peace out.

Second City to deliver laughs

By Zach Manges • news@currentzionsville.com

A belated winter gloom may be settling in, but luckily for residents, an opportunity for some good belly laughs to ease the woe is fast approaching. comedy Zionsville will play host to the nationally renowned comedy troupe The Second City at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 7, The comedy troop is making its fourth appearance in town on its new “Happily Ever Laughter” tour. “We definitely want to bring something fresh and new,” Cast Member Erin Lann said. “This running order specifically is fun because it has so much new material and some old favorites that haven’t been seen for a while. There will be lots of physical comedy that people can look forward to.” From its inception by Paul Sills, Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins, The Second City has flouted the convention of stuffy theatre by appealing to all generations of viewers. The comedy group also sets itself apart from others of its kind through a format that includes a range of both scripted and improvisational sketches. Even the prewritten sections of the show include some improvisation to keep the audience and the performers guessing. According to Lann, this benefits not only viewers, but the cast members as well. “The fact that we have improvisation in all our sketches is paramount. No one can anticipate or plan what will happen, so that’s a fun aspect to it,” Lann said. “It’s not like theatre

‘Steel Magnolias’ – laughter through tears By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com “I love you more than my luggage.” For a woman who has really good luggage, that’s saying a lot. But love is theatre what “Steel Magnolias” is all about. And when Clairee tells Ouiser that she loves her “more than her luggage,” what she’s really saying is that she would do anything in the world for a friend who is truly family to her. Many people remember “Steel Magnolias” as a marvelous, tear-jerking, heartwarming movie with a fabulous ensemble cast that included Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine and Daryl Hannah. But like many great movies it was based on a stage play, and the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will present that play beginning Feb. 7. Robert Harling authored “Steel Magnolias” and based it on a very personal experience surrounding his sister’s death. The play opened in New York City in 1987 and was adapted for the screen in 1998. For those who have never seen the stage play (or spent an evening with a group of girlfriends crying into a bowl of popcorn), it centers on a group of women in Louisiana: M’Lynn and her daughter, Shelby, who suffers from diabetes and a resulting chronic kidney condition; Truvy, who owns the hair salon where the women often spend their time; a grouchy widow named Ouiser; a cheery, well-to-do widow named Clairee; and a

timid new employee named Annelle. The story takes the women through many of life’s landmark events, including weddings, divorces, births and, inevitably, death. But the crux of the play is the women’s steely resolve to pull each other through with love, laughter and optimism. Civic’s production stars Kathryn “Kat” Paton (Hendricks County) as M’Lynn and Emily Lantz (Noblesville) as her daughter, Shelby. June McCarty Clair (Carmel) plays Ouiser, Jean Childers Arnold (Indianapolis) plays Truvy, Pamela Kingsley (Westfield) plays Clairee and Casey Votaw (Indianapolis) plays Annelle. Civic audiences may recognize Lantz (as Shelby, the show’s tragic heroine) from ensemble roles in “Pippin,” “A Chorus Line” and “Guys and Dolls.” “I’m completely honored to have the opportunity to play this role,” Lantz said. “I remember watching the movie and really being moved by Julia Roberts’ portrayal. Shelby goes through such a huge transformation in the show, from a girl who cares only about appearances to an amazing, strong woman who would literally give her life for her child.” “Steel Magnolias” • Show times from Feb. 7 through Feb. 22 • Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre • The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • Tickets start at $41.50; $31.50 for kids up to age 18 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

PRESENTS

‘Cats’ pounces onto the B&B stage By Patricia Rettig • news@currentzionsville.com The seven-time Tony-Award-winning “Cats” pounces onto the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage as the first musical in its theatre 2014 season. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s playful production is the second-longest running show in Broadway history and will be presented from Feb. 6 through March 30 at Beef & Boards. “Cats” brings audiences into the poetry of T.S. Eliot, whose “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” inspired the musical about frolicking felines gathering for the Jellicle Ball. One by one, they introduce themselves in hopes of being selected by their leader, Old Deuteronomy, to be reborn into a new life with a journey to the Heavyside Layer. Featuring spectacular dancing, amazing makeup and colorful costumes, “Cats” is an unforgettable experience in the intimate atmosphere of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre – where they are close enough to touch. Not just on stage,

the frolicking creatures are in the aisle and all around, even overhead. Kenny Shepard of Fishers reprises his role of the narrator, Munkustrap, who he has played in both of Beef & Boards’ previous productions of “Cats.” Performing for the first time at Beef & Boards are J.S. McLaughlin as Old Deuteronomy and Eileen Faxas as Grizabella, who sings the show’s famous “Memory.” Buddy Reeder, who played the role of Mungojerrie in Beef & Boards’ debut production of “Cats” in 2004, directs the show and restages Marc Robin’s original award-winning choreography. Musical director is Terry Woods, with set design by Michael Layton. “Cats” by Andrew Lloyd Webber • Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre • 8 p.m. Feb. 6 through March 30; additional matinee and Sundays shows at alternate times • 9301 Michigan Road, Indianapolis • Tickets start at $38.50 and include a dinner buffet • For more information call 872-9664 or visit www. beefandboards.com.

The Valentine’s dilemma: Obligation or opportunity?

Commentary by Julie Osborne

Fragrant flowers, sparkling gems, shiny cards with expressions of love, chocolate everywhere, hearts galore ... it’s that time of year again, my favorite time (not!). I don’t know when or where it started, but Valentine’s Day at some point became my least favorite holiday. Maybe it happened gradually as my years of singleness increased along with the hoopla, which became just one more in-my-face reminder of my lonely, partnerless state. More

annoying were the giddy, romantic couples who appeared to surround me at every turn and made me feel inferior since the love in the air was not what I was breathing. I can’t pinpoint exactly when, but I grew to dread February, and it had nothing to do with the weather. Until one day when I found myself listening to my own words as I talked about the Hallmark holidays with my kids. The words poured out without my thinking: “I know it feels like an obligation but why not look at it as an opportunity to express your appreciation and love for some-

one?” I asked. Where did THAT come from? Wow, that was pretty good! It was even after Mother’s Day so it couldn’t have been premediated or some passive-agressive planting of seeds. It just spewed out of nowhere. Since then I have decided to embrace, rather than complain about, Valentine’s Day and the other holidays set aside throughout the year for seemingly commercial purposes ($14 billion for Valentine’s Day alone, by the way). I’ve decided to use this time to express my love and gratitude to family and friends. And, with my Christmas

Martyrs and matchmaking: How Valentine’s Day started It actually started with a person, Valentine or Valentinus, but can also be linked to a pagan celebration, Lupercalia, which involved slapping straps of goat hide onto women to increase their chances of fertility, and then later matching them up by a random draw with potential suitors. The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints with the name Valentine, one of whom was martyred on February 14. One legend tells the story of a third-century Roman priest under the reign of Emperor Claudius II. He decided that single men made better soldiers on the battlefield than homesick married men who were missing their families. As a result, Claudius outlawed marriage for young men, but Valentine stepped up couragelously against him and continued to marry couples secretly. When he discovered this, Claudius ordered that Valentine be

put to death. The legend continues with Valentine falling in love with the jailer’s daughter (some more conservative versions of the story say “healing the daughter”) and, on the day of his death, leaving a note behind for her signed, “From your Valentine.” From that legend, the celebration spread and, in the Middle Ages, became romanticized. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem the Duke of Orleans wrote to his wife in 1415 while imprisoned in the Tower of London. In the 1840s, Valentine’s cards became more well-known and widespread by the “Mother of Valentine,” Esther Howland, who began designing and mass producing valentines in America. According to the Greeting Card Association, today an estimated one billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas (2.6 billion cards). (Source: History.com)

cards still heaped in a stack on the corner of my kitchen counter, it’s a perfect time to send an “early” valentine. May you also come to see Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to show someone your love. And, of course, it doesn’t hurt to pick up a dozen roses, too!

Flourishing Flowers: How to get the most of your bouquet Commentary by Brian Davies With one of the busiest floral holidays just around the corner, here are some proven tips

and tricks that will extend the life of your cut flower arrangement. Quality floral arrangements should last four to seven days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive from you, your florist and the farmer who grew them. Many cut flowers travel halfway around the world before even arriving to your local florist, so a trusted local florist is key. Hydration is Life! Fresh, clean water should be added daily to the vase or floral foam. We recommend changing the water completely every three days or before if the flower food solution becomes cloudy. If possible, re-cut stems by removing 1 to 2 inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into the solution. You should never use softened or well water for fresh-cut flowers. Salt in any form is not a friend to

fresh flowers or plants and the minerals in well water will clog flower stems and stop them from drinking. Flower stems can be visualized as millions of little straws wrapped together – if they begin to clog or are pinched, the flowers will stop drinking, thus shortening their life. Hydrangeas are notorious for wilting even when cared for properly – if this happens, use a sharp knife to make a fresh cut, removing about an inch of the old stem, and place it immediately into fresh water; watch it come back to life in less than an hour. If it continues to wilt, you can submerge the entire bloom head and stem in water, re-cut the stem under water and keep it submerged for about 20 minutes or until it has rehydrated. Many flowers can be saved with the same care. Location, location, location! Keep fresh flowers in a cool spot (65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit) away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents and not directly under ceiling fans or on top of televisions or radiators. Heat = dehydration. Most flowers last longer under cool conditions. Brian Davies owns Zionsville Flower Company and teaches floral design at IUPUI. He can be reached at Saleszfc@gmail.com.

Snow shoveling 101

Commentary by Dr. Joseph Stockwell

I wish I owned a snow blower so I didn’t have to break my back shoveling the snow off my driveway and sidewalk chiropractic by hand. I don’t own a snow blower and therefore I must use my brute strength to slide my snow shovel under the snow, lift it up and then toss it off to the side … over and over and over again until the job is done. Now, I need to be clear on something here. I am a chiropractor. I understand how the human body works, especially in the neuromusculoskeletal (nerve, muscles and skeleton) sense, and I can maneuver a snow shovel very well, but the work involved can still make me sore. I’m sure if I weren’t shoveling snow correctly, I could end up hurting myself much more than I already do. So to make sure you don’t strain, sprain, slip or herniate any part of your body, let’s talk about how to do it right. Snow shoveling posture 101: • Always keep in mind your center of gravity.

This point your whole body moves around is just below your belly button and about 3 inches in front of your spine. As you move around, it’s important to keep this point centered within your stance. • Keep your feet a bit farther apart than normal to give you stability. Keep your knees slightly bent and your back straight. This posture engages muscle activity in your legs, which provides balance and support. • It may seem a bit odd at first, but after a few scoops of snow, switch hands with the shovel and switch your foot position. This redistributes the stress load onto different areas of your body, which not only protects you, but also gives you more stamina. With a little bit of practice and one step at a time, you’ll be shoveling like a pro. Dr. Joseph Stockwell is a chiropractic physician who is the owner and clinic director of Indy’s Atlas: Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Zionsville. He may be reached at drjosephdc@hotmail.com.

After two years of corresponding about yoga with an inmate in a northern Indiana prison, I recently made the two-andoN the mat a-half hour drive to meet him in person. It was a special experience in that even though we were meeting for the first time, I felt I already knew John through an incredible exchange of yoga philosophy and applying that to everyday life. My student now teaches yoga and meditation classes to his fellow inmates in prison and is making a huge impact. Below are three major lessons he has shared during our correspondence and our visit. Non-violence “Ahimsa, or non-violence, is one word that reminds me to control my anger and destructive ability. This principle is kind of like the blinders on a horse’s bridle. It keeps us in our lane. I’ve

learned about how a thought arises, endures and then passes.” This lesson isn’t just about physical violence. Every thought, word and deed is a seed we plant in the world. Contentment After John began his yoga journey of daily practice and meditation, it gave him another reason to want “his time” to go fast. Whether it is hurrying through our days to get to the next step or being bound by some type of addiction, we are all behind our own invisible bars. John has found contentment in prison. He is using his time wisely knowing that the next couple of years can be invaluable for reading, meditating and teaching. It is something we should all pursue. Mindfulness The world can take on a whole new meaning when we truly are present, even in prison. Here is what John experienced recently while eating dinner with his fellow inmates. “Instead of shoveling down my food like I usually do, I felt totally present. I started looking up and down the table, 33 people on each side, 120+ total. Black, Mexican, white, mixed, brown, blonde, afro, crew, braids, dreadlocks, clean-shaven, beard, etc. I saw it all! A sense of all is one!” May we all learn from these three simple lessons. Until next time … Namaste! Dr. Sally Brown Bassett is a yogi, social entrepreneur and world traveler.

The importance of asset location Commentary by Joel Harris

As we embark on setting our goals for 2014, it might be a good idea to take a closer look at the asset location of personal finance your investments. Many of us have heard about the benefits of asset allocation, a theory in which a person invests his or her money in several asset classes in an attempt to provide the greatest return potential over time. This is all based on the person’s level of risk tolerance, time horizon and investment objectives. But what about asset location? The idea behind asset location is placing various investments in different types of accounts to help minimize taxes. One of the most often overlooked aspects of short- and long-term financial planning is minimizing taxation through careful asset location. In the new year we will be inundated with ads on TV, radio and the Internet about taxes. Yes, that dreaded word we all loathe ... taxes. Instead of going through the motions and rushing to the post office on April 15, I challenge you to take a really close look at where your investments are located. With the equity markets having an outstanding year in 2013, many commonly held investments will pass on short- and long-term capital gains to investors. These hidden tax bombs can really wreak havoc in a taxable brokerage account. When you do your asset location analysis, focus particularly on the turnover ratio of your investments. Some investments can have upwards of 200 percent turnover in a given year. That means the capital gains exposure could be quite significant.

Why is that important? More than likely, you will receive a 1099 in February from your brokerage custodian because the capital gains were passed on to you as the shareholder, even if you didn’t sell any shares that given year. Instead of owning investments with high turnover inside a taxable brokerage account, wouldn’t it be more tax advantageous to own passively managed exchange traded funds? It is certainly something to consider, and it should be closely examined with your financial professionals. Additionally, taking advantage of tax-deferred accounts should be a priority. Taxation on your investments is the closest thing to acid rain for your money. It is imperative to keep an umbrella over your investments through the use of tax-qualified accounts such as 401(k)s, traditional and Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs, and even tax-deferred annuities. The compounding effect of money in taxqualified accounts is profound, so take a close look at these accounts when you analyze your asset location. In 2014, you will be allowed to contribute up to $17,500 into your 401(k) accounts, plus an additional $5,500 if you’re over age 50. The 2014 contribution limits on traditional and Roth IRAs will be $5,500, plus an additional $1,000 if you’re over age 50. Keep in mind that you still might qualify to contribute up to $5,500, plus an additional $1,000 if you’re over 50, into your IRAs for the 2013 tax year.

2014 looks to be boom year for builders news@currentzionsville.com December building permit reports indicate that the construction business will do well in 2014 in the central Indiana area.

The excavated ruins of the ancient city of Megiddo overlook Israel’s Jezreel Valley. Based on a single ambiguous statement in the Bible, travel millions of people believe Megiddo and the Jezreel Valley will be the site of a climactic battle between good and evil. The Jezreel Valley, a triangular inland valley south of the Sea of Galilee, has been part of an important trade route between Egypt and southwest Asian empires for thousands of years. The Romans, who also used the route for military campaigns, called it the “way of the sea.” Competing empires trying to control intercontinental trade have fought at least 34 battles in the Jezreel Valley, the first one in the 15th century B.C. when Pharaoh Thutmose III fought the King of Kadesh. In the 20th century A.D., the allies fought the Ottoman Empire there. Since about 7,000 B.C., the city of Megiddo has controlled access to the Jezreel Valley. The Bible reports that King Solomon fortified Megiddo, along with the cities of Gezer and Hazor. Excavations at Megiddo have uncovered a 10th century B.C. chambered gate very similar to those found at Hazor and Gezer, lending support to that ac-

count. Archaeologists digging through 26 layers of ruins have also found evidence of administrative buildings and storehouses from Solomon’s time and a concealed tunnel built in the ninth century B.C. that gave Megiddo residents access to their water supply during sieges. Megiddo was permanently abandoned after 586 B.C. when the Babylonians captured Jerusalem. The Book of Revelation reports that unnamed kings will be gathered together at Armageddon just before Jesus’ return, presumably to prepare for battle. The word “Armageddon” is a translation of the Hebrew “har megiddo,” or “mountain of Megiddo,” an apparent reference to the large earthen hill or “tel” that eventually formed over the abandoned Megiddo ruins. Relying on this passage, Christians since the first century have predicted one final battle in the Jezreel Valley, almost always involving the most hated regimes of their eras, from the Romans to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. The wait goes on. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit currentzionsville.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville.com

For consideration: Canine mobility and mobility aids

Commentary by Lisa Beals

As your dog ages, it becomes more important to focus on maintaining his strength through strengthening and conditioning for PETS mobility and balance. If his hind end strength is lost through aging or degenerative processes and cannot be restored with exercise, there are basic mobility aids that can be used to assist your dog in his daily activities. Core strengthening and balance can be enhanced with little or no equipment or with the use of stability balls. Here are a couple of easy exercises for your dog: Using treats or cues, have your dog walk backwards. This is challenges his balance with a different motor pattern than he is used to and is very easy to perform. By straddling your dog with both of your legs, you can provide him with a minimal external challenge to his balance by gently

rocking your legs and therefore his body side to side. This provides a gentle challenge through a very small range of motion and challenges your dog’s proprioception and balance by requiring him to react and stabilize his muscles to this gentle sway and minimal unexpected force. For teacup dogs, use your hands on either side of his body to provide a petite challenge to his balance. You can also have your dog walk over caveletti poles to facilitate him in picking his legs up and working on flexion and extension as he reaches forward to step in between the next pole. Since most people don’t have caveletti poles, foam noodles (used in the pool) work wonders. Balance can also be enhanced with the use of peanut or stability balls. Have your dog put his front paws on a long peanut shaped ball (use the couch if you don’t have a peanut ball). Using treats, cue him to walk sideways with his feet on the floor and his paws on the ball.

Repeat going the other way. This is a good exercise for hind end strength. With a little bit of encouragement, your dog can be taught the advanced skill to stand on a stability ball with you providing contact guard support. Make sure the ball is securely positioned next to a wall or wedged so that it will not move. Always use a collar /harness and leash combination for safety while your dog is on the ball. Standing on top of the ball may be enough of a challenge for your dog in itself. If not you can practice “cookie stretches” by having your dog turn his head and neck to follow a “cookie” or treat while he is standing on the ball. This “cookie stretch” provides a gentle self-stretch to the lateral muscles supporting your dog’s spine. In the event of a chronic or degenerative condition affecting the hind limbs that will not allow for sufficient strengthening for performance of his daily activities such as climbing stairs, there are commercially available mobility

aids available through Orvis or In the Company of Dogs. Here are a couple of my favorites. The Help ‘Em Up Harness is basically a sling for the dog’s hind legs and spine that allows you to efficiently and ergonomically support him as you assist him up and down the stairs. If your dog can no longer jump into bed or on a couch (that he is allowed to jump on !), provide him with portable dog stairs or a dog ramp. This maintains his independence of getting into bed and save you from having to lift him in and out. For dogs that slip on wood floors and have trouble getting up and down, product called “Show Foot” can be sprayed on your dog’s paws to provide extra traction.

Upgrading a standard screened porch

Commentary by Larry Greene

Exisiting porch: This home in the Woods of Williams Creek addition on the west side of Carmel included a fairly blueprint for basic screened porch improvement installed by the original builder. The porch extended out to include an exterior deck landing and staircase. The goal of the project was to upgrade the screened porch, expand the deck footprint and upgrade the stairway down to the pool area. Porch upgrades: Most of the existing porch walls, trim and ceiling were removed. New piers were installed allowing the footprint of the porch and deck to be expanded out into the back yard. A new set of French patio doors were installed connecting the porch to the kitchen. New double screened doors were added to the other end of the porch allowing better access out to the deck. The ceiling received special detail with a beaded ceiling with coffers and trimmed out with crown molding. Deck details: The new deck and staircases were built using Trex Transcend composite decking in a Lava Rock color. Cable railing: A cable railing system, using powder coated newel posts and stainless steel cables, offered a more contemporary look and architectural interest to the structure. It also protected the view of the back yard from the upper porch. Cedar was used for the handrails and

Enhancing the already beautiful back yard, the new structure also offered the homeowners better views and increased functionality.

stained to match the new composite decking. Lighting: Lighting was of particular importance for safety, as well as aesthetics. LED accent lights were installed along the perimeter of the deck. Stair tread lighting was installed in a staggered pattern, allowing the steps to be lit using fewer fixtures. Planter boxes: To create a relaxing ambiance and privacy for the hot tub area, custom-built planter boxes were added to the tub decking.

The boxes were framed in green treated wood, and wrapped with the Trex material to match the new structure.
