BBQ and Tex-Mex at the Salty Cowboy By Zach Manges • news@currentzionsville.com Zionsville is about to get its fix for sizzling barbeque and southwestern-style fare with the coming opening of the Salty Cowboy coming soon restaurant. For owner Shari Jenkins, who is also owner of Noah Grant’s Grill House, this newest venture is a thrilling opportunity not just for varied cuisine but also for a welcoming community. “I love people and I get to see new faces every day. I’ve always been part of different restaurant ‘families’. I love that part of my job most,” Jenkins said. At 55 East Oak Street, the Salty Cowboy is expected to open in April.. On Feb. 19 the Zionsville Plan Commission approved plans for the building to be reconstructed for use of a restaurant. It was formerly a location for Le Dolce Vita bakery. The construction will include a 100 square-foot addition inside the building. This addition will allow guests of the restaurant to move more easily from the front of the building to the back.There also will be an additional restroom. David Rausch, of David Rousch Studio, represented the plans for the proposed restaurant and said no exterior changes to the building will be made. “The scope of the project is minor interior renovations,” Rausch said. The Tex-Mex restaurant will seat up to 80 guests

in both a family friendly dining room and a separate bar area for the 21-and-over crowd. Jenkins assures that only a high quality of service will remain constant between the two venues. “I will have no crossover at all on recipes or menu items,” Jenkins said. “Depending on what one is craving: beer, tequila, and barbeque brisket or a buttery chardonnay and lobster, there will be a place for all cravings and price points.” Originally a middle school teacher, Jenkins also waited tables on the side at Proffit’s Restaurant, the site of which is now the home of Noah Grant’s. With her background in teaching, Jenkins has a passion for fostering student employees in the business. Many Zionsville Community High School students make up her staff. “I usually do not hire students who have restaurant experience, and I prefer it that way,” Jenkins said. “Their personalities and watching them learn and grow under our roof, is a joy that substitutes my teaching career.” Jenkins hopes to have a personable environment and mouth-watering fare, so that residents have a lot to look forward to with the impending arrival of the Salty Cowboy. “I love making Mexican food at home, not out, because I use fresh ingredients,” Jenkins said. “For years I’ve been playing with recipes and know that I’m not the only one who will appreciate the fresh food the Salty Cowboy will offer.”

Getting answers about Bariatric Surgery with St.Vincent. At the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence, we know that it’s natural to have a lot of questions about weight loss surgery before committing to a procedure. And Scott Nelson — a previous patient at our Bariatric Center of Excellence and one of the features in our TV spots — was no different. Scott came to us with questions like: What’s the best procedure for me? What can I expect after the surgery is over? And how will the surgery aff ect my diabetes?

H E A L T H

By attending one of the 11 weekly St.Vincent Carmel bariatric informational seminars and discussing these questions with his surgeon during a pre-op class, Scott got the answers he was looking for. “The pre-op class and information session were especially valuable to me because I had so many questions and fears about the procedure,”said Scott. “I also found that the doctors and specialists at St.Vincent were very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made me feel more conﬁ dent about my upcoming surgery.”

Since surgery, Scott has lost more than 100 pounds. And as he continues to lose weight, he feels increasingly optimistic about his future. “The greatest thing about my surgery is how I’m just not carrying that extra weight anymore. I don’t get winded doing simple things like walking up stairs, and more importantly, I know I’ll be around for many years to come so that I can take care of my kids.”

‘Dirty Wint’ the weatherman

By Julia Plant • news@currentzionsville.com

With the massive amounts of snow over the past couple of months, Zionsville Community High School students have education turned to ZCHS junior, Logan Winters (also known as @ DirtyWint), to keep themselves updated on the weather, school delays and closings over Twitter. Winters tweets about the weather every evening, letting his more than 700 followers know the probability of any school delays or closings for the following day. This comes Winters out before the information is available from ZCS Supt., Dr. Scott Robison. Winters is correct in his predictions for delays more than 90 percent of the time. “To get the most accurate forecasts out to the public, I look at a range of various weather models. I then pick out which model I think has the most potential at being accurate,” Winters said. “But even then, I usually seem to have a sixth sense about it.” Robison said that Winters shows remarkable potential for being a weatherman in the future and that he enjoys the email banter between the two of them with regard to the weather.

@DirtyWint

Logan Winters’ popularity along with the heavy snow this winter has helped him create a large following of people. The majority of his followers are hopeful Zionsville students awaiting a school cancellation. • Will Savery (@WilkinBS), ZCHS freshman recently tweeted: “I am officially naming this winter The Winter Of Dirty Wint!” • Gretchen Beehler (@_grettta) a senior at ZCHS wrote, “Honestly @DirtyWint could forecast the apocalypse and I would immediately buy a shelter and hide out ‘til he said it was safe.”

“In mid-January I heard that Logan Winters had predicted every weather system and snow day for that month to date,” Robison said. “I reached out to Logan and got his perspective on a couple of school-day decisions I had to make. He is a knowledgeable person who is really on top of the weather. Every superintendent needs this kind of resource!” Winters has been interested in the weather since he could talk, and his parents claim that one of his first words was “humid.” He hopes to some day study at the University of Oklahoma to become a broadcast meteorologist.

Spoonfuls of joy with B. Happy

By Kathi Reichert • news@currentzionsville.com Jon Weed calls his gourmet peanut butter business a “lemonade stand on steroids.” It all started more than a business year ago in the family kitchen of Jon and Kathy Weed. They were looking to create a recipe for a peanut butter that they would enjoy eating, while also hoping to give their children, Jackson, 15, Julia, 13, and Sawyer, 8, an education in running a small business. “When I was a kid growing up and my dad had a regular job, my mom always had these side jobs she did,” said Jon, “I look back at that and thought of some of the good experiences I got out of it. I just thought we would try it.” Weed said it’s been a tremendously positive experience. The Weeds make their small-batch peanut butter in six flavors and claim, as the label suggests, it is so good you can “Eat it with a Spoon!” Gourmet flavors include everything from a plain peanut butter to a trail mix blend, called their “Happy Trail Mix.” “It really is a peanut butter that you don’t necessarily put on a sandwich. Our plan was to make the peanut butter really good enough to eat on its own,” Weed said. But in the beginning, perfecting the peanut butter recipe took a lot of trial and error. “We went through eight months of trying honey roasted peanuts before we found the

place that we liked the best. That was probably the hardest part,” he said. All five of the Weeds have a hand in creating and selling their peanut butter. They sit down together to have quarterly business meetings and go through the numbers. In fact, their youngest son, Sawyer, is somewhat of a spokesperson at his school, Eagle Elementary, where he has talked to second and third grade classes about running a family business. After B. Happy appeared on the Fox 59 Morning Show with Sherman Burdette in early December, B. Happy Peanut Butter started flying off the shelves. “We were totally unprepared for the explosion that was going to bring. All of a sudden the stores could not keep it on the shelves. At one point on Dec. 20, we just had to put a sign up that said, ‘I’m sorry we are done for the year and taking a family vacation,’ ” Weed said. B. Happy Peanut Butter can be found in sever-

Weed said he couldn’t be happier or more appreciative of Inga’s Popcorn for help in getting started. “I think it is a really positive thing about the Zionsville community. There is a lot of paying it forward,” Weed said. “I think we still bring customers to [Inga’s store] and she has obviously helped us by giving us a closed-ircle place to make it.” Inga Smith, owner of Inga’s Popcorn said it’s been great helping B. Happy. “[Jon] comes in twice a week and makes the peanut butter and everyone loves it,” Smith said.

Serenity to open farmers’ market

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Restaurateur Karin Glass, the proprietor of Serenity Tea Room on Main Street, doesn’t take no for an answer. So, when business she was told that there are no more available booths for the Zionsville Farmer’s Market this year, she decided to make room. “I had just purchased a line of salad dressings,” Glass said. “But the market was full, so I thought I’ll seize control of this in a different way.” Glass will offer an extension of the Zionsville Farmer’s Market inside the gardens at Serenity. She is calling this project “Wander Up The Bricks.” “There will be no competition with items that are already being sold at the market,” she said. “I just really feel this will help Main Street.” Glass said she will open this new part of the farmer’s market (although not directing affiliated with it) the same days and times as the Zionsville Market. They will both begin the Saturday after Mother’s Day. She hopes to have between six and eight unique vendors, including her salad dressings, set up on tables underneath her back garden’s umbrellas. “Nothing will be duplicated,” Glass said. “I want the whole street to feel like a street fair every Saturday. People can go to the farmers’ market and then wander up the bricks to the garden.” Items sold at Wander Up The Bricks will include waffles, fresh breads and pastas. “I want to have something that is a special

The gardens at Serenity grow lilac bushes that are of the same ilk, or family, of lilacs that President Abraham Lincoln carried when he traveled through Zionsville in 1861. It was then that he made a whistle-stop speech and passed out fresh lilacs on the way to his inauguration.

E-Day Plan Sent to DOE

• Finished Daylight Basment

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

The Zionsville School Board of Trustees approved a proposal in favor of electronic learning at the Feb. 24 board meeting. This proposal states that education electronic learning days, or e-days, will be used within the Zionsville school system to make up snow days from this year. The proposal has been sent to the Indiana Department of Education for final approval. According to the plan submitted by Superintendent Dr. Scott Robison, the e-days will help students catch up on work missed during the seven full cancelled school days and the additional six days of morning delays. “It has never been our aspiration to be an online school district,” Robison said. He encouraged all parents who are concerned with the electronic learning to get help as soon as possible from teachers. “We are entering the future,” said trustee Bill Stanczykiewicz, in regards to electronic learning systems.

Below is an example of an electronic learning schedule, as proposed by the Zionsville School Board of Trustees. This is the proposed schedule to complete one make-up day. • MARCH 3 - Teachers make content and assignments available to students electronically. Extra computer access in school will be allowed for activity or experience completion and teacher assistance. • MARCH 4-7 - Students will complete their assignments at home. Teachers will be available in person at school for students struggling with e-day assignments. Every teacher will tell students when they are available to help with the extra work. • MARCH 10 - At the end of the school day on March 10, all assignments are due. • MARCH 11 - All teachers will certify the level of student “attendance” for electronic learning make-up day number one. After March 11, school administrators and teachers will assess the progress made during electronic learning make-up day number one.

Valenti-Held donates 6.2 acres for animal shelter By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com The Humane Society of Boone County reached more goals than one this year as donations came in from all over the Philanthropy county during the Feb. 22 Mardi Gras-themed Fur Ball fundraiser event in Lebanon. The night of dancing, music, a silent auction and games was organized to raise money for Operation Shelter, the organization’s initiative to build a shelter for the homeless animals in Boone County. Until now the Humane Society has operated by putting animals in foster homes across the county. Donations received at the event include a 6.2acre building site from the contracting and development firm, Valenti-Held. This site isnear I-65 and Ind. 267 on Perry Worth Road. True Temp Heating and Cooling pledged a donation of $10,000 toward a heating-and-cooling system for the shelter once it is built. “I would like to thank everyone who donated their time, effort and money helping to make our shelter a reality,” stated Mike Hancock, president for the Humane Society of Boone County. Hancock also announced that the organization has launched its 2014 version of Operation Shelter, a capital campaign to raise $1.5 million for establishing the shelter.

Minnesota all over again

Commentary by Ward Deglar

This winter has reminded me why I left Minnesota. In 1979, snow started falling on Thanksgiving Day, and most everyone in that farming community still claims it didn’t Plain Talk stop until Memorial Day. My farm was six miles from the nearest town, and counting my quarter-mile driveway, a mile from the paved county highway. The road to my farm was gravel and it got plowed last. We got a foot of snow Thanksgiving Day, and I cranked up my aging Massy Harris tractor and plowed the driveway. Knowing the county plow wouldn’t show up for a day or so, I also plowed the gravel road up to the junction with the paved road. I figured that would make it easier for me to get to work in the morning. The trouble was, it continued to snow all night, and I had to plow the whole shebang again before leaving for work. The snow continued throughout the day and when I got home

that night I had to park my car at the junction of the gravel road, slog through the snow for the tractor and plow again before I could get home. The snow continued pretty much non-stop for the next 10 days, and even though the county plow cleared our gravel road every couple of days, it wasn’t long before there was no place to stack the plowed snow. The solution was to stop plowing and bring in dump trucks and a front-end loader once a week. I got to work by plowing twice a day. Then it got cold. Thirty-below with gale-force winds. Instead of going to work, I spent several days thawing frozen pipes and coaxing my ancient furnace along. The next fall I packed up and moved south. Obviously, not far enough.

Gilliam suggested to the potential donors that purchasing an AED might be a great way to put some potentially lifesaving equipment in to the community. The donors agreed and after consulting with library staff and further board approval, the purchase was made. The unit is placed in a clearly labeled wall cabinet on the second floor of the three-story building. This way it will be in a central location for all. There will be a plaque on the wall above the AED dedicated to the memory of the late grandchild.

A Zionsville couple, seeking to be private donors, contacted the Zionsville Fire Department to contribute to the purchase of needed equipment for ambulances as a way to honor their late grandchild who died at only 3 months old. The family wanted to do something to recognize the fire department’s efforts in the care of their grandchild. After recently teaching CPR and first aid classes at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library for the library staff, the Division Chief of EMS for the Zionsville Fire Department, Steve Gilliam learned that the library did not currently have an automated external defibrillator, otherwise Kerry Green, executive director of the Hussey-Mayfield Public Library, and known as an AED.

Girl Scouts raise money to help WWII vets

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com While most 10-year-olds are saving their spare change for the latest iPhone or a new toy, Kate Swack, a fifth grader at Highlands Latin School, is counting her dollars and raising money to help WWII veterans. Kate is part of Girl Scout Troop #1880, a Cover story group of 20 girls that have been earning badges together since they were in kindergarten. This year, the girls are hoping to achieve their Bronze Award, an honor earned when a troop spends a minimum of 20 hours to raise awareness for an important cause. Troop #1880 hopes to send at least two WWII veterans to Washington D.C. this spring, as part of an initiative with Indy Honor Flight. Indy Honor Flight sends veterans to the capital, at no cost, and takes them on an “honor tour” of all the famous WWII sites. Kate and her troop need to raise $450 for each veteran to take the trip. “The veterans did a lot for our country and we need to say thanks,” Kate said. “Some troops raise awareness for things like bullying, but we wanted to talk about our veterans.” Kate’s mom, Valerie Swack, introduced the girls to the idea of Indy Honor Flight last year when she took them to a welcome-home ceremony at the Indianapolis International Airport. This was a chance for the troop to see the veterans returning home from their one-day trip to Washington. Valerie said that more than 5,000 people stand and greet the veterans when they return from their honor trips. “It’s deafening,” she said. “All the cheering is so wonderful during the homecoming.” The veterans are also greeted with stacks of letters and cards, part of what is called “Operation Mail Call”- a reminder of what it was

like to receive mail when they were fighting during the war. “Tears just stream down [the veterans’] faces,” Valerie said. “They each get a big stack of mail, mostly from people they don’t even know.” Kate and her troop have already raised more than $400 towards their goal. They did this by asking for donations when they were selling Girl Scout cookies. They hope to raise the remainder of the amount by sending out fundraising letters and by having a booth at Akard True Value Hardware in Boone Village. The girls will have a booth at the hardware store from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 8 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on March 22. They will be selling homemade bracelets and baked goods, and also ask that people write letters to the veterans. “This is completely selfless,” said Valerie. “The girls are learning a lot about themselves and helping others.” Additionally, while the girls could use the revenue earned from selling scout cookies to plan parties or take field trips, they have decided to donate all of their earnings to the honor flight as well. “Every dollar counts,” Kate said. Valerie said that sending the veterans on an honor tour this year is part of the troop’s two-year plan. In the summer of 2015, the troop hopes to make a trip to Washington to see the memorial sites for themselves. “The girls are only 10 and 11 years old but it doesn’t mean they can’t do something big,” Valerie said.

“Every dollar counts.”

FR O M   T H E BACKSHOP Façade money more spread out The Town of Zionsville turned a good deed recently by deciding to spread façade grants a bit wider. Where before the town would underwrite up to 50 percent of a business’ project to update or otherwise change for the better its storefront, it now is allowing an up to 40 percent contribution. That means more businesses are able to participate, and we view that as a smart, generous move. Keeping storefronts looking good is key to having a welcoming place of business, and, we hope, a better revenue report as a result. ••• We mightily salute the anonymous donor, whoever he or she is, for providing funding that helped the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Library acquire an automated external defibrillator.

It is said the donor’s act was in memory of a 3-month-old grandchild and in honor of the Zionsville Fire Dept. members who tried to save the infant’s life. Eventually, there will be a memorial plaque placed next to the AED, which is on the second of three floors of the library and easily accessed in a central location.

For the love of spring

The secrets we keep

Commentary by Terry Anker

Social media has opened up a new world for window peepers. Unbeknownst to many of us, our photographs are taken hundreds of times per day. Happily, most of the celebrity we might anticipate is abated by the fact that these shots are largely video surveillance at the ATM, gas pump, store, restaurant, school, workplace and just about every place we might venture during the day. These are not routinely posted to the web unless something exciting or funny occurs (think bank robbery or dancing cat). We don’t control our image. Ordinarily, we don’t even know that it is being used. But the most common, is the photo posted to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySpace, LinkedIn, Tagged, Google+, Pinterest, or YouTube (these are on the top 10 list for most used social media sites of the billions of posts each year). Again, permission is rarely asked and we often don’t know of it. Google has announced a new project called, simply enough, Image. At images.google.com one

can upload an image of anyone and the program will scan the web to find similar pictures. I did it today of myself; and, wow, it pulled up pictures of me from all over the place. Some were known to me – others definitely not. But even more simply, a long-lost acquaintance posted a photo from an eighth-grade basketball tourney (we won!) to his Facebook page. Another friend saw me in it and let me know it was out there. I found the shot and the dozen or so of comments about it. My 13 year-old saw it – and observed our family resemblance. But the picture could have easily been me in college holding a Little King Cream Ale slightly before my 21st birthday. Is it better to live a world without secrets? We may not have much choice.

- Malcolm Forbes

Last week, the new Traders Point Christian Church community play center opened in Whitestown and I swear, every parent in Zionsville let out a huge sigh of relief. I, along with every other Zionsville mom, have been very patient in waiting for spring. But having somewhere to go in the meantime is such a pleasant thought. Not only can kids go to the indoor play area seven days a week, the facilities are also top-notch with areas for special-needs kids and older teens. After this long winter of staying cooped inside with my 18 month-old, this area is just what the doctor ordered for all of our cabin fevers. Now my husband, on the other hand, isn’t so patient in his waiting for warmer days. When he stepped off the plane from Iraq last week he “brrred” all the way home and swore he couldn’t feel his toes. It was 36 degrees, so I gave him the stare and told him that 36 degrees is practically shorts-wearing weather. I suppose I can say this since I suffered through -15 degrees the week after Christmas and he was still enjoying sunshine in the Iraqi desert. Zionsville Community High School junior Logan Winters and Mr. Groundhog himself tell me we are still in for some cold and flurries the next couple of weeks. My daughter is climbing up the walls and jumping off the kitchen table so I can’t think about putting off spring right now. Instead, I think I’ll keep my thoughts on those first few chirps of birds I hear outside my window and the few sprigs of grass popping up in my front yard. The love and anticipation of spring can really save these last few moments of winter for me. And I’m sure that moms everywhere would agree.

Editor, I want to thank you for reporting on and keeping us informed about the Ford bridge. I was hoping to assist in clarification of some information in your past two articles. First, I want to be clear that in no way is our group opposed to the proposed bridge nor do we feel the proposed bridge would harm the natural resources. Our intent during the DNR hearing was to address inconsistencies found in the documentation provided by the County engineers to DNR so that the project could and should be reviewed thoroughly before it moves forward. Since the new proposal will be funded using local funds instead of federal funds, the layer of INDOT approval, oversight and guidelines is not available as it would have been for a federally funded project. The DNR hearing was the time to address these issues. Regarding another earlier article in the Current, it states that the caption on the sign is “an inaccurate statement” because INDOT “has stated it is open to evaluating the situation in the future”. You are correct but only to a point. On the second page of the attached INDOT letter to the County, you will note that if the County progresses with the next new project (which they are now), they can reapply for federal funds at the next call for projects. This would be new

money, however not the original $2.58MM implied. If the County wishes to reapply for federal funds, they could certainly do so, but it would be “new” money…. the $2.58MM was lost. When the current Town Council voted to not endorse the truss bridge, some (not all) County Council members followed suit and voted to defund. As a result of the defunding, there was no project left, no alternatives in the works and the funds were pulled. If federal funds are actually currently available, that would be wonderful for County taxpayers and the public should know this since the proposed bridge will use only local funds. There have been many discussions over the years regarding this bridge and misinformation disbursed. Hopefully, by obtaining complete information with supporting facts, these past controversies can be put aside instead of continuing to be fueled. For instance, where Gene Thompson states “don’t they know that there is already flooding there” appears to be petty and antagonistic. Since we live there, we do know there is flooding.

How to write good hate mail

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I love hate mail. But I have to be honest; some of you really need to brush up on your libel. Take, for instance, a recent humor e-mail. The reader was quite indignant with respect to the column about my friend, whose morning with her children was ruined by a criticizing old biddy. But her comments fell short, mostly because she didn’t know how to write a decent critique. Luckily, I’ve developed this Guide to Good Hate Mail. 1. Read the column. Thoroughly. The aforementioned hater spoke at length about how poorly I had handled the situation because of my obvious lack of self-confidence, but I actually wasn’t even there. The article was about a friend’s experience. Come on now! If you’re going to use my own words against me, at least get the facts straight! 2. Play the religion card. Even though you know nothing of my faith, when you write, “You are clearly not a Christian, which might be the root of your unhappiness…” you can be sure I’ll take notice. Sure, it might not have the desired response (Doo and I enjoyed a wonderful laugh at that one), but you’ll certainly gain my attention. And never underestimate the impact of a well-placed Scripture passage. My favorite is John 8:7. Learn it. Love it. Use it. 3. Question my parenting. So what if you’ve

never actually met me or my husband or any of my kids. You read my columns, right? We’re as good as sisters, then, making you perfectly qualified to pass judgment. Have fun! Give unsolicited advice, badmouth my children, suggest therapy and spiritual healing (a Bible verse would fit nicely here). Or just cut to the chase and tell me I’m a terrible mother. I appreciate brevity in my hate mail as I have an enormity of selfish needs to see to above those of my family. 4. Go on and on about what an awesome spouse, parent, sibling, friend, PTO volunteer, church-goer, and eater of organic foods you are. My life is miserable, and I long to be as awesome as you! Remember, I have low self-confidence and am going to Hell, so any awesome thing you can say to help me change my ways would be simply awesome. 5. Use synonyms. When I see the word “awesome” written repeatedly, you lose respect as a writer and a hater. Next time you feel compelled to send hate mail, please consult this guide. It’ll make my reading so much more enjoyable! Peace out.

Makin’ bacon an issue

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Why do I write so many columns poking fun at magazines? I have skewered Handyman magazine, Storage Solutions and humor Muscle Fitness, to name a few. This is because each month when I go to refill my cholesterol medicines at the pharmacy I have to walk past the periodical display. I need a distraction, so I grab something off the shelf, plop down in the corner and read it cover to cover. This annoys the store manager who tells me to get up off my fatty acids or I won’t get my Lipitor. This week I saw a cooking magazine that takes the cake. Actually, cake would have been healthier. The Food Network’s newest offering is titled “The Bacon Issue.” Yes, it’s an entire 300 pages devoted to bacon, a strategy to compensate for their relatively poor-selling Tofu/ Kale issue. The cover story says you can find 108 amazing recipes inside, which, by the way, includes 27 really bizarre ones—like the chocolate bacon cupcakes on the cover. Also on the front is a photo of a lollipop made out of bacon, the perfect way to lure the little ones away from sugar, which we all know is so unhealthy. Inside the magazine is a detachable tiny booklet that contains 50 recipes for bacon appetizers. Things like: bacon jam, bacon-wrapped bananas and bacon ice cream. You wedge this little brochure in your back pocket and if

you are stuck at a party where the only hors d’oeuvre is a vegetable plate and yogurt dip, you can offer a subtle hint by leaving the brochure next to the broccoli before you split for the Rib Shack. Dessert lovers need not shrink in despair. How about a giant BLT cake? It’s not made with the traditional ingredients, but it does look like the classic sandwich. The bacon is fashioned out of tootsie rolls, the tomatoes are made of red gummy bears and the mayo is plain white frosting. Sliced angel food cake substitutes for the bread. Don’t ask me about the lettuce. Trust me: do not ask me about the lettuce. There are now bacon-of-the-month clubs: They deliver a different kind of bacon right to your door, along with recipes and ads for the latest bacon products like bacon rub, baconflavored envelopes and bacon-flavored lip balm. I am now thinking of joining either Bacon Buddies or Pork Pals: both have five-star ratings. I had been with a different group, but my wife didn’t like my getting emails from “The Strip Club.” Yes, this craze is a sickness. Ironically, no one wants to be cured.

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

In any divorce case, there are two main categories of issues to be resolved prior to finalization: child-related issues and those related to the division of the martial estate. Under Indiana law (an absent a prenuptial agreement), the marital estate, or “marital pot,” is comprised of any and all assets and liabilities acquired prior to or during the marriage, whether through inheritance or gift. The date the parties file the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage effectively “cuts off” what is included in the marital estate and; therefore, those items which are subject to division by the Court. Generally, assets or debts acquired by either spouse subsequent to the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage are considered separate property of that individual. Indiana law presumes that an equal (50%/50%) division of the marital estate is fair and equitable. In order to determine the overall estate, each litigant and/or their counsel, must perform due diligence to determine (1) what compromises the marital estate and (2) the values of each asset/liability therein. A majority of assets and liabilities are valued on the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Therefore, the marital estate will be a “snapshot” of what existed on that day and the values on that same day. The Court and the parties have discretion, however, to value certain assets as of the date of distribution. Most often, Courts will choose to value assets which fluctuate due to market changes at the time of distribution to either party, less any post date-of-filing contributions made by the account holder, to allow both parties to equally share in those gains or losses of any such accounts during the pendency of the divorce.

In determining the value of real property, the parties may use appraisals, property tax assessments, and comparative market analyses to agree upon a value for the marital residence and/or additional properties. Courts place most weight on the values put forth in formal appraisals; thus, if parties are unable to agree upon the value of real property – Courts can often be confronted with competing appraisals and expert testimony from the appraiser. Alternatively, in the event parties agree to list a piece of property for sale, they may agree that whatever proceeds actually received are to be equally divided between the two spouses. The latter approach allows for the divorcing parties to finalize the divorce without having to await the sale of their house. Either party may request, however, a deviation from the presumed 50%/50% division in his or her favor which the Court may grant, if the Court deems the request appropriate after considering evidence presented and the statutory factors allowing for such deviations. Litigants would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with such requests. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

streets, sister programs like Devour Downtown, Chow Down Midtown and Savor the Southside offer similar deals at varying times throughout the year. The events are all spearheaded by the Indiana Restaurant and Lodging Association. “Most cities have a restaurant week,” said Susan Decker, the spokeswoman for the event. “Because we have so many diverse areas, we’ve chosen to break it down so that people don’t have to choose; they can go to all of them.” Decker said special offer promotions and information for participating restaurants can be found at www.northsidenightsindy.com. Each participating restaurant will have a link to their special menu, and it also will indicate if the menus include vegetarian or gluten-free options.

Spring will certainly look good after the winter Mother Nature whipped up for us. And leaping all over Carmel will be FROGZ. THeatre Frogs, frogs and more frogs - along with their friends the penguins - perform in this theatrical event that is making a name for Imago Theatre, creator of this “hoppy” adventure. “This is a family show designed with a lot of illusion and imagination, really geared for youth three years old and up,” said John Hughey, director of external relations at the Center for the Performing Arts. “This show becomes a big playground where frogs and penguins play together. It’s in our small theater and there will be audience participation.” Hughey said FROGZ is like a Cirque du Soleil show that will introduce children to mime, acrobatics, and dance. “There are wild costumes and all original

music. The frogs and penguins take on human characteristics,” Hughley said. “There is a lot of audience participation, too, with oversized beach balls and giant slinkies that become part of the act. So families will enjoy this together in a small intimate theater.” “Imago has been creating transformative theatre that crosses boundaries traditionally associated with language, age and the physical realm,” said Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, the artistic directors and founders of Imago Theatre, in a statement. “FROGZ put us on the international map with its simplicity and charm that catapulted the production to two Broadway runs.” FROGZ • 7 p.m. March 7; 3 and 7 p.m. March 8 • The Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • Tickets start at $15 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org • To get a better visual idea of this show visit www. imagotheatre.com/frogz.html

Home is where your 8.8-acre lake is. Carmel actress brings ‘Ghost’ to life By Dawn Pearson • editorial@youarecurrent.com Magic and illusion are not the only two elements for audiences to look forward to in “Ghost the Musical,” Andrea Rouch from THeatre Carmel is performing in it. Rouch’s role in the show is to play part of the ensemble and work as a “Molly understudy.” She is onstage every night as a singer and dancer in the ensemble and she plays Molly at certain performances. “It is definitely a dream come true and an honor to play Molly, she is such a strong, artsy, upbeat woman who has everything she has ever wanted in life until her boyfriend, is tragically murdered and suddenly everything she had is swiped out from under her,” Rouch said. “It is a story that can make a difference in peoples’ lives, and that is why I do theatre.” Rouch said the audience should get ready to be blown away with the illusions and magic tricks like Sam walking through a door, letters folding themselves up, souls taking over peoples’ bodies, subway passengers suspended in midair, and high-tech LED video walls projecting videos and images throughout the show. After graduating from Carmel High School in 2007, Rouch went to college at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., earning her bachelor’s degree in musical theatre. And after graduating from Belmont in 2011 her singing and acting career took center stage. “I spent a year doing regional theatre in Mem-

phis, Tenn., and worked in Pennsylvania and Georgia and then booked the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ National Tour,” Rouch said. “I have been fortunate to have been working since I graduated, but I do miss seeing my family. It’s an extra special treat to be able to live at home and perform in Indy for a week.” One of Rouch’s most memorable aspects of Carmel is the Performing Arts Program at CHS, run by Lamonte Kuskye and Ann Conrad. “I got into choir freshman year because I needed an elective. Then, I ended up auditioning for my first musical and was cast in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and completely fell in love with theatre,” Rouch said. “Carmel really allowed me to explore all of the things I am passionate about.” “One of the cool things about the tour is that you sort of become a connoisseur of cities. Now, when I go to a new place, I find myself assessing the cleanliness, safety, locals, small businesses, downtown areas, weather and after being to nearly 100 cities over the past year and a half, Carmel is still one of my favorite places,” Rouch said. “It is so full of life and art. I really love the downtown area of Carmel with all the shops, the Monon, great local eats, and of course, Carmel High School.”

The Carmel Community Players continue their 20th Anniversary Season of Restoration Celebration by presenting the romantic THeatre comedy classic, Philip Barry’s “The Philadelphia Story,” March 6 through March 16 in the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace Mall. The play’s cast is very seasoned as some actors have film, TV and Broadway theater experience in addition to the many who have appeared in several local productions. In the movie version of “The Philadelphia Story,” Katharine Hepburn’s character, Tracy Lord, is a headstrong, spoiled daughter from a well-todo family in Philadelphia torn between her dashing ex-husband, played by Cary Grant, charming society magazine reporter Jimmy Stewart and her fiancée. The play’s director, Lori Raffel, said the stage production is very similar to the movie with some exceptions – there are a few character changes and the location is limited to the Lords’ house outside Philadelphia. “The play was written by Philip Barry specifically for Katharine Hepburn to star in on stage. Her last several movies had tanked and producers were losing faith in her ability to draw an audience,” Raffel said. “Katharine herself put up 35 percent of the money to produce the play on Broadway, and it paid off - it was a huge hit. She

and the playwright always had in mind to make the play into a movie - and that was a big success as well.” “Above all else, The Philadelphia Story is about love, relationships and family. It’s one of the most successful American comedies every produced,” Raffel said. “I wanted to direct it because I love the time period - the 1940’s - and I love the central character - Tracy. She is strong, stubborn,

Those with an allergy called cold urticaria break out in itchy red hives due to contact with low temperatures, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. In more rare cases, people can faint from exposure to frigid temps. Representatives from the college suggest taking an antihistamine to control symptoms. www.menshealth.com. Stroke risk factors for women - More than half of the 795,000 strokes that occur annually in the U.S. happen to women. Why? One of the reasons is preeclampsia, a factor during and after pregnancy. However, prevention is key: women with chronic or pregnancyrelated hypertension should take low-dose aspirin from the 12th week of pregnancy to delivery. Preeclampsia is also a future risk of hypertension and stroke. Keep up with follow-up visits to your primary care physician. (www.prevention.com).

LOVE YOUR HOME AGAIN. LEARN TO LOVE YOUR HOME AGAIN.

I’d like you to think of the following question and let me know if you can think of a situation or example where the statement finance is unequivocally true: In a rapid growth environment, is it possible to significantly increase quantity while still maintaining a high level of quality? I bring this question up as I look up at the TV in my office streaming the latest financial news of the day and what’s happening around the world and ask myself that question as it pertains to financial journalism. With the advent of the 24/7 news and financial television networks, I’ve often wondered how challenging the job of the producer must be for those networks. Not because of the complexities of the job or managing the on-air talent, but simply the task of coming up with enough content to cover 24 hours of “news” a day. Think about that for a minute as it pertains to financial journalism.In the past, when something was newsworthy, it was discussed and reported on the nightly national news and was most certainly reported in the financial publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Fortune. However, because of the amount of airtime that must be consumed, we now have stories that are covered far longer than they need to be covered, with opinions from so-called “experts” whose only criteria for being called an expert was that they were available for that time slot. What can, and often does, happen though is

the television media overinflates an otherwise mundane piece of information or data, which can sometimes cause consumers to make irrational and emotional decisions concerning their financial plans and investment goals. We’ve all heard the phrase “making a mountain out of a mole hill” and I believe this phrase can apply to an ever-increasing number of journalists and media reporting on financial news and happenings. This is why I believe that as the quantity of financial reporting has significantly increased in a short amount of time, the quality of the journalism has diminished. The important thing to remember is to be intentional with your investing. Having an investment philosophy and plan will serve you much better than reacting to what the cable news is reporting. In addition, make sure that you understand the credibility of your news sources. Remember this: there is great similarity between a market analyst and a weather personality on TV. Their (and their station’s) first and real only mission is not to advise you directly. It’s to sell advertising and increase ratings. Make sure you have someone working for you in your corner that truly has your best interest at heart.

DISPATCHES Baldwin & Lyons releases financial data – Carmel-based Baldwin & Lyons has announced after tax operating income of $4.4 million, or $.30 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $4.5 million, also $.30 per share, during the fourth quarter of 2012. Net investment gains for the fourth quarter of 2013, which include both realized and unrealized gains in the company’s limited partnership investments, were $4.6 million after tax, or $.30 per share, compared to net investment gains of $0.2 million, or $.01per share, in the same quarter of 2012.

Minimum wage correlation - In the restaurant industry, some chains have already prepared to boost menu prices in response to minimum-wage changes. At the national level, Congress and President Obama continue to grapple with increasing the federal minimum wage; and changes at the state level could bring similar hikes at eateries across the country. Restaurants are a large low-wage employer, and industry executives have grumbled that wage increases - combined with additional costs resulting from Obamacare - are driving up the price of doing business. To maintain profits, a number of chains have recently announced plans to partially offset the increases by passing them to consumers. SOURCE: Bloomberg Businessweek

Metaphors versus idioms

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “A friend said to me that he was ‘under the weather, metaphorically speaking.’ I didn’t want to correct him, since he was sick, but I don’t think that’s right. GRAMMAR GUY Was that a metaphor, or was it actually an idiom?” Great question! You are correct. Hopefully your friend is feeling better by the time you come around again to offer him some wisdom. Metaphors and idioms are often mistaken for one another in speech in just the manner you’ve illustrated. In fact, “speaking metaphorically” is often mistakenly used when people actually mean they are “speaking figuratively.” Staying on subject, though: What is the difference between a metaphor and an idiom? A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech found under the umbrella of analogy. A metaphor is formed by stating that one thing “A” is another thing “B.” Shakespeare famously used metaphors to great effect – and so for an example, we’ll turn to the Bard: “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.” We understand that Juliet is not, in fact, the sun. But to our teenage heartthrob Romeo, she seems a bright, incandescent, almost life-giving figure appearing at the window as the sun at

dawn. How romantic. An idiom, by contrast, is an expression with a figurative meaning that doesn’t correspond with its literal meaning. Idioms are understood intuitively by native speakers, but can be very difficult for someone learning the language. Examples of idioms in English include “couch potato,” “hit the road,” “spill the beans” and “under the weather.” Some idioms, like the phrase “Achilles’ heel,” are also metaphors, but the two are not inherently related like metaphors and similes are. A great and simple method of determining whether a phrase is an idiom or a metaphor is to ask whether it is directly comparing two things. “In the middle of June, the blacktop was lava” is a metaphor – it directly compares very hot asphalt to lava. “To pull someone’s leg” is an idiom – we understand it figuratively to mean to tease or joke, and it fails to be a metaphor because it makes no comparison. Just keep comparisons in mind, and you’ll be able to distinguish metaphors and idioms at the drop of a hat. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

2014 The Alhambra’s Court of Lions (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Alhambra: At the center of 1492 Commentary by Don Knebel

COMING IN MARCH! Current Publishing’s special section on March 18 will clue in readers in 108,133 households in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville exactly how to maxmize on the change of seasons. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to reach the most-coveted audience anywhere in Indiana.

During 1492, the Alhambra in Grenada, Spain, was at the center of events that literally changed the direction of human history. Today the Alhambra is the finest example travel of Islamic architecture in Europe. Grenada was founded in the eleventh century by successors of Muslims who had captured most of what is now Spain from the Visigoths in 711. By 1248, Christian forces had recaptured all major Spanish cities except Granada. Grenada, whose Muslim rulers welcomed its Jewish residents, became one of the most important cities in Europe. In the fourteenth century, Grenada’s Nasrid rulers completed the Alhambra on a hill overlooking the city as a combined fortress and palace. The main courtyard surrounded a circle of twelve marble lions, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, carved by Jewish craftsmen. The palace included an imposing Hall of Ambassadors, where the Sultan of Granada received visitors. On January 2, 1492, the Sultan surrendered the Alhambra to the superior forces of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, the “Catholic Kings” whose marriage had united two Spanish kingdoms. Isabella immediately occupied the chair in the Hall of

Ambassadors, reportedly receiving Christopher Columbus. Columbus, who had seen Granada fall, pitched anew his plan to sail west and convert the Muslims of India to Christianity. The “Alhambra Decree,” issued by Ferdinand and Isabella on March 31, 1492, ordered all Jews to leave Spain within four months unless they converted to Christianity. On April 17, Ferdinand and Isabella commissioned Columbus to sail to India and he left Granada on May 12. By July 31, up to 800,000 Jewish residents had fled Spain to avoid execution without trial. On October 12, 1492, Columbus, who may have been secretly Jewish, encountered the lands of the “New World” he insisted to his death were part of India. In April 1992, five hundred years after the Alhambra Decree, Spanish King Juan Carlos, wearing a yarmulke, welcomed descendants of the expelled “Sephardic” (Spanish) Jews back to Spain, where they can now become citizens. The Alhambra, witness to the best and the worst of Spanish history, has become one of Spain’s most popular sites.

The remodel: Space planning improves master bath

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING BATHROOM: The owner of this home in the Admirals Landing subdivision at Geist had lived with his master bathroom blueprint for for almost 20 years. “The improvement bathroom was old. Everything was black and white, the tiles needed regrouted and the faucets needed replaced. I wanted to change things and decided doing it piecemeal made no sense. So I decided to remodel the whole space.” ELIMINATING LARGE TUB DECK: Eliminating wasted space was a goal for the project. “The master bath had a bad set up. The large tub deck under the window included wasted space on each end. I had two vanities but they were on opposite sides of the room and small.” The homeowner wanted to keep a tub in the space, and was hoping for a double vanity. The shower was well located and appropriately sized, therefore the new design did little to alter its footprint. COORDINATING TILE & GRANITE: The owner wanted helping selecting the right materials. “I wanted granite countertops and tile in the shower and on the floors. My designer helped me narrow my choices so I ended up with what I liked.” The Colombian Sand floor tile was chosen to compliment the Alviana Noce shower wall tile. Maple cabinetry in a soft white color with a slate glaze contrasts the tropic brown granite countertops. Carrying the granite over to the tub deck, wall caps, shower seats, niche shelves and door sill provided a cohesive look.

before & after

RESULT: Removing the existing tub and decking left room for the new tub to be installed next to the shower. The shower was expanded slightly to provide a cohesive line between the shower and the tub. The opposite wall was filled with a large double vanity, greatly increasing the counter and storage space in the bathroom. Although the overall footprint was not expanded, the room felt much more spacious with the reconfiguration.
