ZMS 8th grader commits suicide
By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com
Tragedy struck at 10 p.m., April 25, when a Zionsville Middle School eighth-grader hung himself in the basement of his parents’ Zionsville tragedy home. After his parents called the Zionsville Police Dept., he was rushed to St.Vincent Hospital, where he died in the early morning hours of April 26. “Holding (the boy’s) family in supportive thought and prayer as they grieve is imperative just now,” said Zionsville Community School Corp. Supt., Dr. Scott Robison. Shock and grief have overwhelmed the community, with school officials now desperate to help other students suffering from mental anguish or suicidal thoughts. “These are difficult times for all, especially teenagers, so please be sensitive to their needs,” said Zionsville West Middle School Principal, Kris Devereaux, in an email to all teaching staff. A shared video Since news of the boy’s death, facts beneath the surface are coming to light as to what may have caused a young teenager to take his life. On April 27, just one day after the boy’s death, Zionsville Police Dept. reported that another ZCS student was considering a self-destructive act. Robison said that this student is now receiving psychological help. “ZCS is working with a local clinical psychologist whose professional practice involves adolescent and young-adult clients from our immediate area,” Robison said. On April 28, the first school day that Zionsville Middle School was open after the suicide, teachers and middle school parents became aware of a video taken by the deceased student just two days before his suicide. The video, which is eight minutes long, was uploaded by the student onto the Google Plus Video website. From there, his classmates began sharing clips of the video on Google Plus, Facebook and Instagram. School and police officials have neither confirmed nor denied that bullying or ridicule on social media was a cause in the boy’s death, but the video does
Zionsville Community School Corp. teamed with The Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide in order to combat self-destructive acts and adolescent suicide. Below are ways to approach a child or teen about the subject of suicide. • Think about what you want to say ahead of time and rehearse a script if necessary. It always helps to have a reference point: (“I received a notice of some students who have had suicidal thinking and attempts.”) • Be honest. If this is a hard subject for you to talk about, admit it! (“You know, I never thought this was something I’d be talking with you about, but I think it’s really important.”) By acknowledging your discomfort, you give your child permission to acknowledge his/her discomfort, too. • Ask for your child’s response. Be direct! (“What do you think about suicide?”; “Is it something that any of your friends talk about?”; “The statistics make it sound pretty common. Have you ever thought about it? What about your friends?”) • Listen to what your child has to say. You’ve asked the questions, so simply consider your child’s answers. If you hear something that worries you, be honest about that too. ”What you’re telling me has really gotten my attention.” • Don’t overreact or under react. Overreaction will close off any future communication on the subject. Under reacting, especially in relation to suicide, is often just a way to make ourselves feel better. Any thoughts or talk of suicide (“I felt that way awhile ago but don’t any more.”) should always be revisited.
show him discussing suicide. “We do not know and cannot find out how many of our students have viewed and or re-posted the video,” Robison said. For now, school officials are encouraging all parents and guardians to be mindful when it comes to dealing with sensitive adolescent behavioral and psychological situations. “Of course, ZCS school counselors remain available for students throughout each school day,” Robison said.

Arbor Day - State Sen. Mike Delph (R-Carmel) and his daughter assisted in the Arbor Day planting ceremony last weekend in Zionsville’s Starkey Park. The Zionsville Park and Recreation Dept. coordinated the event. Of the more than 100 native Indiana trees, the groups planted only tulip trees, gray dogwoods, and swamp white oaks around town. Zionsville Little League - On April 28, Zionsville Little League’s normal process for communicating Lions’ Park field closures failed to work normally, and as a result, not all teams and families were aware that the entire park was closed to games and practices that evening. The emails that were sent out to all ZLL team managers did not reach everyone. ZLL officials have identified the probable cause of this problem and made changes to fix it. Field closing announcements will continue to be posted on the ZLL Facebook page and Twitter feed. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/ZionsvilleLL.

Students ate a traditional meal followed by dances that were popular during the time period. The evening was a celebration of all they have learned in American history this year. The class recently returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., New York and Philadelphia, where they visited sites important to U.S. history. For more on the event, visit www.currentzionsville.com.

The Zionsville Alpha Leo Club raised more than $250 for the Lion’s International Measles Initiative April 19 at Lion’s Park. The Leos conducted a bake sale during the Eggnormous Easter Egg Hunt to raise the money. Drew Hobick, president of the Zionsville Leos, said: “We wanted to donate to the Measles Initiative so that we can help children not only in our community, but in other countries as well. We can immunize one child from measles with just one dollar raised.” For more on the bake sale, visit www.currentzionsville.com.

“....the pompous, condescending, obstructionist attitude projected to this Office, other elected officials, department heads, employees and others by Mr. Thompson and a few other Council members impedes efficient and effective operation of county government.” - BOONE COUNTY SHERIFF KEN CAMPBELL, APRIL 1, 2014
Do you want this on the County Council? You have a choice. • The ONLY candidate ranked as Tax Payer Friendly by Boone County Watchdog. • Conservative, thoughtful. • Believes in term limits. • Will fight to lower taxes. “Has anybody seen The Bridge?” by Jeff Rieth The long, sordid battle involving the Ford Road Bridge was confusing to me. Originally, the Truss Bridge Project was functional, matched the character of Zionsville and was already financed. Now we have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in planning and engineering fees and the money in place to fund a traditional bridge. Clarity and answers generally come when one follows the money. Come to find out that Boone County Councilman Gene Thompson led the charge to quash the approved truss bridge design. The result will now cost Boone County taxpayers much more than $3 million by losing the approved state and federal funds granted for the Truss Bridge Project via INDOT in addition to the cost of the new bridge. Claims have been made that the lost federal funds can be regained. There’s a difference between 'should get back' or ‘can get back’ and actually 'having' the funds. Claiming the lost funding for the truss bridge can be 'gotten back' sounds like an election tactic.
Letter of Recommendation: This letter is to recommend Tom Santelli for Boone County Council, District 1, based upon his record of success in Public and Environmental Affairs, Corporate Planning, Research, Development, Engineering, and Economic and Business Development. Tom’s proven leadership and consensus building skills are needed to represent District 1 on the County Council. Tom has won prestigious awards within the American Society for Training and Development. The United States Postal Services hired Tom to create innovative systems, which he did. The National Center for Resource Recovery also sought Tom’s skills as a consultant. His work in display technology made the first ATM machines a reality. Tom’s resume includes planning for state-of-the-art paper mills, manufacturing operations, developing training schools for Owens-Illinois, Great Northern Nekoosa, Georgia-Pacific, Weyerhaeuser and Temple-Inland. His work in solar energy, ceramics, glass, forest, wood products, paper, agriculture, automation and robotics have set benchmarks in a number of fields. Tom is entrusted to set industry standards for materials and products based upon his integrity and ability to build consensus among diverse interests. Tom understands economic development, construction, education, contracts and budgets. He has the engineering and architectural background to responsibly fund bridges that satisfy traffic demands while maintaining the architectural tradition in a specific area. Tom has so many skills, voting for him to be the new County Councilman from District 1 is a very positive opportunity. Please vote Tom Santelli May 6 for the Boone County Council, District 1. Thank you, Charles Eaton Boone County Commissioner (2005-2013) Boone County Council President (2001-2004) Boone County Council (1994-2001)
Gene Thompson had his own opinion of what the bridge should be on Ford Road and the result was losing the approved state and federal funds in place for the truss bridge. Never mind that the County Commissioner from this district supported the truss bridge (the planning and approval of county roads and bridges is the Board of Commissioners’ oversight). For a County Council member to lead the charge to defund the truss bridge was an act of arrogance. Now, after being forced back to square one in terms of design and planning, Boone County taxpayers are on the hook financially for all of the additional costs to re-design, tear-out, and for the building of a cement bridge and adjoining roads. How did you like Act 1: The demolition of beautiful old trees cut down for Thompson’s cement bridge? On April 17th at the Zionsville candidate’s forum, Thompson stated about Boone County Council operations that they had been “frugal with the way we've been spending…". I have doubts about Gene Thompson’s definition of “frugal”. It is we the taxpayers now stuck with the costs of the building, engineering, and supervisory services for the
cement Ford Road Bridge. Is that being “frugal’? By rejecting the approved truss bridge with its funding in place, Thompson led the charge for a very taxpayer unfriendly bridge—one that Boone County taxpayers will be funding entirely. Ironically, Gene Thompson takes jabs at the Boone County Sheriff over minor funding disagreements-- these disagreements in comparison to his $3 million funding loss over the Truss Bridge Project is tantamount to swallowing a whale and choking on a guppy. Gene Thompson affects a lecturer-to-pupil-like presence in his position as Boone County Councilman, a pretense of knowledge, of knowing better than Zionsville’s citizens on what's good for Zionsville. I may be mistaken, but I thought elected officials were supposed to behave like servants of the public. I am confident that the local taxpayers who comprise the community follow the money too. My confusion is now cleared. We need new representation on the County Council from District 1.

Town talks plans to merge
By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com
At a special meeting of the Zionsville Town Council and the Perry Township Board of Trustees on April 29, the sides completed a mandatory second reading of the resolution REORG and plan to reorganize the town. Both groups voted in favor of sending the plan’s fiscal analysis to the Indiana Dept. of Government Finance for review. The plan recommends that Zionsville adopt Perry Township, which would expand the town by an estimated 40 percent in square footage and allow for a mayor to be elected. The fiscal analysis, compiled by the accounting firm Crowe Horwath, of Indianapolis, breaks down the shift of expenses and revenues that will flow from Perry to the town after a merger is approved and after a full-time mayor is elected. Services in the rural area of former Perry Township will be provided in the same manner as in the current rural areas of Zionsville. The Boone County Highway Dept. will continue to claim the road miles from the state and service the rural district, and the sheriff of Boone County will provide primary law enforcement. All planning and zoning matters will be the responsibility and jurisdiction of the Town of Zionsville. Trash pickup services will not be provided by the town in the rural district. An estimated $900 will be added to the town’s park expenses. This is for the township’s cemetery maintenance contract. The Zionsville Fire Dept. will coordinate the provision of fire and emergency services with the Perry Township Volunteer Fire Dept. and $75,000 will be added to the town’s fire fund for
Taxes: • The estimated increase to residents in the Township is approximately $0.17 per $100 of NAV. • The impact to all four existing taxing districts is $0.0068 per $100 of NAV • Calculation: Property Value ÷ (Net Assessed Value/100) = Tax Rate MAYOR SALARY: • The plan currently states that the elected mayor will earn $120,000 per year. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE SCHOOLS? • Perry Township students currently attend Lebanon schools. This will not change after the merge, unless the Lebanon Community School Corp. and the Zionsville Community School Corp. approve a change. According to Zionsville Town Council President Jeff Papa, this will likely not happen because the Lebanon school district will want to keep those students. WILL PERRY RESIDENTS’ ADDRESSES CHANGE? • The only way for a Perry Township address to change to a Zionsville address is if the federal government approves a petition between the townships’ postmaster generals. This happens very rarely in the U.S.
the Perry Township Volunteer Fire Dept. A mandatory public hearing must take place before members of the public can vote on the merger in the November elections. This public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 15 at Zionsville Town Hall.

Ford Road roundabout postponed By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com
The Ford Road roundabout at Bloor Lane has been delayed until 2015. For some, road construction this comes as no surprise, considering the bureaucratic loopholes the town has gone through to get the project to where it is today. Residents of the Village Walk subdivision (the neighborhood nearest Ford Road and Bloor Lane) have been outspoken about the roundabout since the town first introduced the plans last October. The second entrance on Ford Road into the subdivision will be affected. “The roundabout will eliminate the entrance into Village Walk subdivision,” said Zionsville Street Dept. Supt. Lance Lantz. “This is why the project has been discussed at length since it was presented in this configuration to the Village Walk Homeowners Association.” David Lindsey, president of the Village Walk Homeowner’s Assoc., said: “The Village Walk Board has not taken an official position on the project. Opinions vary significantly on the pros and cons and the effects it will have on our neighborhood. We have strived to keep everyone informed and up to date.” Lantz said that the delay is also the result of significant difficulties experienced in the acquisition of an essential property which has been

Bruce Petit has spent his entire legal career in the courtroom. Along with his duties as a Chief Deputy Prosecutor and now Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Bruce has maintained a private civil law practice, giving him a unique perspective from both sides of the courtroom.
Shouldn’t our Judge have Boone County knowledge?
After three decades of living and working here Bruce Petit knows the people, the attorneys and the courts of Boone County. He has represented clients and served as prosecuting attorney in hundreds of Boone County court cases.
foreclosed upon and is now bank-owned and controlled. This property sits across the street from Village Walk. “The house in question is indeed the white, [house] on the southeast corner of the intersection,” Lantz said. “It includes a detached garage that is very close to the road.” Due to the expected length of time anticipated to obtain the property, Lantz said there would not be sufficient time left in 2014 to complete the roundabout. Construction is expected to begin in the spring. The tentative, revised schedule contemplates a fall, 2014 re-bidding of this project. Until that time, utility companies may be doing work in the area to relocate their lines in advance of construction. “All involved, I believe, want the project to begin and end as quickly as possible in the optimal time period. During summer school recess makes the most sense,” Lindsey said.
KNOWS ZIONSVILLE!
This essential local knowledge cannot be learned working at the State Capitol.
Shouldn’t Solid Local Endorsements Matter?
Ford Road and Bloor Lane is the site of a proposed roundabout. The project has been delayed until next year. (Photos by Sophie Pappas.)
Rather than fund an expensive marketing campaign, Bruce Petit lets his years of trial experience, his ethical reputation and proven commitment to justice speak for him. Bruce has been visiting every Boone County community to personally share his qualifications with the people he meets. Bruce is very proud to have received the endorsement of the Boone County Bar Association.
Bruce and his wife, Kelly, have lived in Boone County for 23 years. They have two children, Eric (21) and Maureen (18), who both attend Purdue University.

Celebrating Arbor Day Commentary by Ward Degler Arbor Day was the last Friday in April. It’s the day when we’re supposed to plant a tree. Unfortunately, it hasn’t really plain talk put down roots the way other holidays have, like Presidents Day and the Fourth of July. For one thing, it’s not an official holiday. And even though the Arbor Day Foundation has more than a million members, there isn’t a lot of hype about it. You don’t see ads on TV telling you to rush right out and buy your tree before it’s too late. When I was in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades we had an Arbor Day observance at our school. The principal, dressed in his suit and tie, came out at recess, dug a hole in the yard beyond the swings and planted a small sapling. Then he poured water on it and after we all sang “America the Beautiful,” we went back inside. That was it. Since school let out a couple weeks later, no one ever watered the tree again. And it died. The next Arbor Day the principle once again dug a hole in the same place and planted another tree. It also died when school closed for the year. I actually thought that was it, that Arbor Day was nothing more than a token tree planting. I never knew they were supposed to live. Arbor Day began in 1805 in the Spanish village of Villanueva de la Sierra when the local priest

planted a tree to beautify the village. The tree was a poplar and local lore has it that it lived for many years. Nebraska just passed a law making Arbor Day a state holiday. It’s the only state to have done so. Presumably, they will plant a lot of trees and will water them throughout the summer. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog.

A sweet, romantic story from Cleveland Commentary by Donna Monday Are you ready for another column about names? I thought so. This one is about Linda Cleveland, a personal banker plain talk and customer service rep at Old National Bank at Main and Sycamore streets. I was intrigued by the name “Cleveland.” So I asked her about it. “My last name is Monday,” I said, “And people always tease me. For the most part, they like to call me ‘Tuesday.’ Do you get that kind of thing with ‘Cleveland’?” “Yes,” she said. “Mostly I get, ‘Are you from Cleveland?’” The answer is no. But her name does have a story – a sweet, romantic story. Linda’s maiden name is Suhs, which is pronounced Seuss – exactly like Dr. Seuss of “Green Eggs and Ham” fame. In fact, her father was a doctor, which made Linda the daughter of Dr. Seuss. Linda liked having “Dr. Seuss” as her daddy. When she became engaged to Bill Cleveland she fully intended to take Bill’s last name. “We wanted children,” she said, “and I wanted us all to have the same name.” She never thought of keeping her name, but she was sad about losing it. Bill knew this, and he had an idea.
“Well, maybe I’ll change my middle name when we get married,” he said. Sure enough. A few weeks after they were married, Bill went to court to change his name. Funny thing. They sent him to divorce court. That’s where name changes happened. Three weeks into marriage and he was in divorce court, but for a good cause. Bill took Linda’s maiden name as his middle name. She Cleveland kept her maiden name as her middle name. So they are Linda Suhs Cleveland and William Suhs Cleveland. They have two daughters. The girls, not surprisingly, sport Grandpa’s last name as their middle names. They are Alex Suhs Cleveland and Hannah Suhs Cleveland. And, yes, the kids get teased about their last name. “Their friends call them ‘Cincinnati and Columbus,’” said Linda. “Heaven knows what they’ll call them when they learn their grandpa was Dr. Suhs.”
Donna Monday is a Zionsville resident and columnist. She can be reached at dmonday8698@att.net. .
ife changes are good business opportunities for Jennifer, and Evan’s new marriage was no exception. She had helped another set of clients purchase Evan’s new wife’s "bachelorette pad" last summer. Jennifer must have made a good impression on him during that process, because he called her to list his Zionsville condo when it was decided the BACHELOR pad had to go. And a typical bachelor pad it was! Jennifer helped him transform it to a universally appealing, low maintenance opportunity. Yes, the deer head over the fireplace had to go to storage! A buyer was found shortly, and the deal was consummated this spring! When you’re looking for the perfect ending to your own housing saga, trust Jennifer to write it for you!

Zionsville Community High School was awarded a gold ranking on the U.S. News and World Report’s list of America’s best high schools. Of 31,242 public education schools reviewed nationwide. One hundred twentysevn Indiana schools made the U.S. News and World Report rankings. The report ranked public high schools in the categories of college readiness, algebra proficiency, English proficiency and student/teacher ratio. ZCHS placed 290th in the nation and third in the state. Signature School in Evansville was ranked first in the state, followed by Herron High School, Indianapolis. These three schools (along with West Lafayette High School) were the only schools in Indiana to receive a gold rating. There are 41 silver medal schools in Indiana and 82 bronze medal schools. “It can be competitive sometimes, but everyone has the same goal, which is to prepare themselves for the future as much as they can,” said Kylie Mihok, ZCHS sophomore, of the high standards that ZCHS sets for students. According to the statistics, ZCHS scored a college readiness index of 57.1, based on AP exam results. 99 percent of students were proficient in Algebra and 94 percent of students were proficient in English.

Zesty banana bread perfect for Mother’s Day
Submitted photo
What can I say? I go bananas for bananas! And after reading this, you’ll never look at a banana in the same way again! Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives you an instant boost of energy. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions like, anemia, blood pressure, morning sickness and others. I will add two more benefits to this list of how bananas are fabulous: take the inside of the banana skin and give a quick shine on your shoes or if you want your houseplant to look healthy and beautiful, rub the inside skin on your plant leaves!! This banana recipe is perfect for Mother’s Day. Waking up to this delicious breakfast in bed will sure make any mom happy! BANANA BREAD WITH ZESTY SPREAD Zesty spread: • 8 ounces cream cheese softened • 1/4 cup orange marmalade • 1 teaspoon orange liqueur (I use Grand Marnier) • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest For the spread combine the cream cheese, orange marmalade, liqueur and orange zest in a food processor container fitted with a metal blade. Process until blended. Chill, covered, in the refrigerator. Banana bread: • 2 cups sifted all purpose flour • 3/4 cup sugar • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 3 very ripe medium bananas • 2 large eggs, beaten
• 6 tablespoons unsalted melted butter • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk or plain yogurt • 1/2 cup toasted coarsely chopped walnuts Note: Never use a banana for baking if it is not very ripe. Your bread won’t have any banana flavor if you use an unripe banana. Always mash bananas with a fork or potato masher; don’t throw them in the food processor. Hand mashed bananas impart a more vivid flavor to any batter. Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350F. 2. Butter a non-stick loaf pan, then flour well. (The flour is really important for the bread to “CLIMB” against while baking. I have not done that before, and it makes a huge difference!) 3. Combine and mix well flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside. 4. In a plate coarsely smash the bananas (use a large spoon or spatula and don’t puree - the banana needs to be chunky). 5. In a large bowl beat together eggs, butter, vanilla, yogurt (mixture will look curdled) and add the bananas and combine (try not to reduce the banana chunks). 6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until flour is thoroughly moistened. Stir in nuts. 7. Scrape batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick into center of bread comes out clean for 1 hour. Serve with spread. Note: The bread keeps well when wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature, for up to four days. It can also be frozen, well wrapped, for up to one month.

Once you have filed your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and your spouse has received notice that the divorce has been filed, it is often helpful for the parties to establish the “ground rules” which will govern certain aspects of their conduct during the pendency of the divorce. Issues that should be addressed preliminary are the custodial and parenting time arrangement, possession of the marital residence, payment of child support and payment of marital expenses. These issues are referred to as “provisional issues.” If you believe that such ground rules are needed, a provisional hearing (also referred to as a “preliminary hearing”) should be requested in your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Once you request the provisional hearing, the court will schedule the matter to be heard and notify each party (or their attorneys) of the hearing date. Typically provisional hearings are very short and can last anywhere from fifteen to thirty minutes, though there are instances where a longer hearing is needed. Due to these time constraints, it is often beneficial for the parties to reach an agreement on all provisional issues. If an agreement can be reached, the terms are reduced to writing and submitted to the court for approval. There are a number of benefits to reaching an agreement rather than going to court, including: crafting terms of an agreement to meet your families’ needs; saving the expenses associated with preparing and attending a hearing; setting and/or maintaining an amicable relationship
between the divorcing parties; and reducing the stress and anxiety a hearing can cause. In the event that you and your spouse cannot resolve the temporary issues, you will be required to attend the provisional hearing. This can be a particularly important part of the divorce proceeding. Parties would be well advised to use the preliminary hearing as a forum to position arguments that will be made at the final hearing. However, it is important to realize that due to the fact that the hearings are often very short, the parties are often the only witnesses and their testimony will be limited to basic matters. Therefore, discussing and preparing your requests with your attorney prior to the hearing is imperative. Following the provisional hearing, the judge will issue a provisional order that will typically remain in effect until your case is resolved. Often times, the order is provided at the conclusion of the hearing. At some point after the preliminary hearing, the parties will typically enter into negotiations on a final settlement, and if a settlement cannot be reached, prepare for the final hearing. 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.

Who are the solicitors who come to your door? Are they dangerous or are they in danger? Here’s what you should know By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com On a rainy afternoon in April, a white van pulled up at the end of a Zionsville neighborhood cul-de-sac. Out jumped two people: one a male, dressed in a suit, the other a female, cover story wearing a torn t-shirt and jeans. Walking with clipboards in hand they started to move down the block, as the van pulled away and sped off down the neighborhood lane. These people are in sales. And sometimes, they are for sale.
Who are they?
According to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, there are more than 600,000 people trafficked throughout the U.S. every year. Some of these people are involved in the sex trade, while others are caught in the labor trade. It is estimated that more than 20 percent of those trafficked are children, who are either runaways domestically, or illegal immigrants forced into trafficking once they are brought to the U.S. Daris Reno Blickman, a board member with Building Empowerment by Stopping Trafficking, Inc., and a former Carmel resident, said that the solicitors seen on suburban streets every spring are part of the labor trafficking problem in America. “There’s not a certain type of person trafficked in America,” Blickman said. “They could really be anybody. But of course we see high numbers of Native Americans and African Americans trafficked when they come from an impoverished background.” Going from door to door, these solicitors sell magazines or boxes of candy. Sometimes they even try to sell utility packages or light bulbs.
“A lot of times they are controlled by pimps and the traffickers,” Blickman said. “They are controlled because they are threatened, or their families are threatened. In almost every case there is physical or sexual abuse.” Forced to sell goods and make money for the traffickers, Blickman said that almost any young person could fall into the trap of being trafficked. “(The pimp) may start off nice in the beginning to build trust,” she said. “But then the person is stuck in isolation with almost no contact with their families. Then they are under control and will work out of intimidation.”
What you can do
According to Blickman, someone being trafficked in a town like Zionsville would likely never have the chance to tell anyone what is happening to them. They always walk in pairs and are followed by someone who controls them. “Sometimes they are lucky if they get to go to the bathroom by themselves,” she said. “It comes down to mind control. When they are at your door they are not likely to open up to you.” Blickman said that if a homeowner feels safe enough to open the door and engage in verbal communication with a solicitor, then there are ways to detect if someone is being trafficked. “But really there is a reason that for years this was called the invisible crime,” she said. “Because people overlook this. They don’t want to see the human trafficking around them.” If you believe a solicitor is being trafficked or forced to work, call local police or notify the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888.
Signs someone is being trafficked
• They are constantly moving. • They have frequent or constant bruising. • They look down at the floor often. • Somebody is always standing next to them. • They express fear of going home after the work day.
Trafficking masked as solicitation
According to Zionsville Police Dept. Chief of Police, Robert Knox, the town does have an ordinance that addresses solicitors, but it is hard to know who is being trafficked and who is not, or who is legally able to solicit. The ordinance states that all solicitors in Zionsville must apply for a solicitation permit; however, many do not. “All of our residents should use caution when opening their doors to anyone they do not know and trust,” said Knox. “Common sense must always rule the day whether you are in your home or out in public when it comes to interaction with anyone, especially strangers.” Knox said that if any homeowner does not want to talk to the solicitor, they absolutely do not have to. “They can ignore the person at the door or tell them they are not interested and for the solicitor to move on,” Knox said. “And they absolutely should contact the police if they feel unsafe with the solicitor or anytime they feel that the solicitor is abusing their permission to solicit.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP Wonder how proud the bullies are now? What will it take to stop the madness? We’re talking about yet another teen suicide, this one involving a 13-year-old male in Zionsville last weekend. While we won’t release his name or the circumstances, we can tell you based on multiple conversations in social media and our own investigation it’s clear to us the youth was traumatized by bullying, so much so that he decided taking his own life was the better solution. It is so horribly sad. And, frankly, it’s maddening as hell. It takes way more energy to ruin someone’s day, week, month, year or life than it does to enrich it. We’ve heard this before: “Kids will be kids. This has been part of life forever.” Bullsnot! That’s the weakest response we can imagine. Bullying has no place in our world, and it shouldn’t have been present in the late youth’s world. The behavior perpetrated upon him was, in the end, a death sentence of sorts. Kids have two choices in interpersonal relationships: friend or foe. If it’s the latter one chooses, he or she needs to simply move on, not hang back and agitate, belittle or physically harm. We’re absolutely crushed for the youth’s survivors and cannot even begin to imagine the horrors cast upon them. All you bullies or wannabes, get wise and keep it to yourselves. The harm you can do is irreversible. And patently pathetic. ••• You received your Current today because May 6 is the date of the primary election.

Hearts of gold
Commentary by Terry Anker
On May 14, the American Heart Association here in Indiana will host hundreds of attendees at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis for its paramount fundraising gala, the Heart of Gold Ball. Raising more than $500,000 annually, the event funds pediatric cardiovascular research, increases awareness of childhood obesity, and supports education and advocacy. But perhaps even more importantly, it brings together civic and community leaders, friends and family to spend a Saturday night out for a good cause. These United States have long benefited from a somewhat unique approach to problem solving. We work together garnering private support, financially and otherwise, to confront the issues pressing ourselves and fellow citizens. Certainly, government has taken an ever increasing role in choosing both the priority and the intensity of allowed interest in matters of philanthropy. But happily, most of us continue to be directly concerned in an abundance of causes dedicating much towards addressing them. By April 21, we productive Hoosiers have earned
enough to cover the expense of our State and Federal governments for the year. While the socalled tax freedom day arrived 3 days later than it did in 2013, citizens can now focus our attentions and labor at our own pursuits. Education, housing, food and leisure are among the priorities likely to be addressed. Yet at a rate unparalleled globally, we Americans share. We give away more, in all three categories measured by The Charity Aid Foundation – time, money and support of strangers, than any country rich or poor. A significant and growing amount of our collective toil will go to the benefit of our communities. A generous friend invited us to join the Heart of Gold Ball at his table. Inspired by his leadership, we will participate joyfully – and contribute. I suspect many of you will too – check out: www.bestheartcare.com/2011/04/26/ the-heart-of-gold-ball.

Q U O T E O F T H E W EEK “Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.”
– Elbert Green Hubbard
Editor, I have intended to write you all year to let you know how much my family and I continue to enjoy Don Knebel’s column in the Current. We are Westfield residents. Currently, I “virtual school” two of my children via K12, a classicallyflavored online charter school. They are currently in grades four and seven. My children’s curriculum includes extensive geography and world history. As an enrichment activity, I have them read and discuss with me your weekly columns. Several are taped to our home classroom wall. This morning, I opened the paper to your article about the Hagia Sophia. My eight-yearold grabbed it out of my hands in excitement, anxious to read more about the building he had studied during his unit on the conquering of Constantinople. It is my hope that your column will continue for many more years. It is a welcome enhancement to the intellectual quality of the paper and, consequently, our community. Michelle Foley, 46074
No conflict of interest Editor, On April 29, Ms. Fairchild asked for clarification regarding my profession as a residential Realtor as it relates to my candidacy for Boone County commissioner. There is no conflict of interest between the two. As a licensed Realtor, I help families buy and sell homes. As such, I have gained vast knowledge of Boone County and the many attributes that make this an attractive place to live and work. That experience doesn’t detract from my ability to serve as commissioner, it enhances it. My husband’s profession was also questioned. While my husband Larry does work in the development industry, he does not practice in Boone County. His profession does not pose a conflict of interest. My contention is that being licensed and practicing professional should not disqualify me, or others, from public service. If that were the litmus test, a majority of elected officials who are licensed engineers, lawyers, physicians, etc., would be barred from performing public duties. Instead, I hope the focus will be on my desire to sustain the financial strength of Boone County through job creation, a diversified tax base, and well-built infrastructure, to ensure a great quality of life for decades to come. Julia Evinger candidate, Boone County commissioner

Saying goodbye to the folks Commentary by Danielle Wilson My husband and I have been talking at length about the death of our parents. It’s not that we’re plotting to bump them off in humor some diabolical scheme to access their life insurance policies; we’re just concerned that we don’t know what their wishes are after they die. Who gets the heirloom ring? The second house? Do they want to be buried, and if so, where? Is cremation on the table? Doo is one of six kids and I am one of five, and neither of us wants to debate these questions while we are grieving. Luckily both sets of parents are healthy, but you just never know. (Next year my folks will embark on a 31-day cruise around South America where ships sink all the time!) Over the past month, we’ve broached the subject, to get the conversation at least started. Our parents’ responses have been fascinating. Both fathers were clearly uncomfortable talking about their mortality. My dad seemed particularly agitated: “Your mother’s getting everything so don’t worry about it. If we both go, you five are on your own. Figure it out.” Then he promptly left the room. My mom on the other hand, immediately went to get a file which contains all her notes on their funeral arrangements. Yes, she has a “file.” “People plan weddings and retirement parties. Why can’t I plan for this?” she asked. We talked for 45 minutes on her memorial service, which is
to include three eulogizers (she already has them picked out) and her signature song, Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary.” There is to be no urn or casket or any sad music, and we are to donate her body to the local medical school. “I taught for 33 years; there is no reason I should stop because I’m dead!” Yes, I have an awesome mom. But when asked about “the estate,” she admitted she hadn’t thought much about it. My parents have a will, but it hasn’t been updated in a while, and no executor has been appointed. My dad can’t understand why I should care about this. But here’s the deal. If we don’t learn their wishes until after they’re gone, then we can’t ask questions if we need clarity or context. And unfortunately, that can cause brothers and sisters to bicker, fight, or even worse, sever relationships. All because of a stupid heirloom ring? No thank you. So we’re both going to keep pestering our parents to make some tough decisions, and more importantly, communicate those decisions to at least a couple of family members. If they want to give everything to dear Aunt Mary, so be it. They just need to tell us before they die! Peace out.

Welcome back Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “Am I hip?” I asked my wife the other day. “Heavens no,” she said. “And the proof is that no one uses that expression humor anymore.” That really scared me because I’m depending on some hipness to carry me through May 15. That’s when I return to teach at the high school in New York where I taught from 1969 to 1978 and the very place I graduated from in 1965. That first year of teaching, my colleagues called me Mr. Kotter, a reference to the old TV series Welcome Back, Kotter, where the main character returns to his alma mater to join the faculty. I tried to take this as a compliment. I will have students next month who were not alive in 1970. Wait a second – I will have students whose parents weren’t alive in 1970. No, that’s not possible, is it? Let me do the math. I shouldn’t be torturing myself like this. Why am I headed back to the classroom for a single day? When I retired 35 years ago, I had not taught long enough to be vested in the pension plan. But recently a new law reduced the number of years required to be eligible for benefits. To receive my back pension, I have to rejoin the New York State Retired Teachers’ Association, which requires one more day of teaching in order to be reinstated. I also had to get a character reference, so I called one of my first students
who always said I was his favorite teacher. “Reuben, I’m going back to New Rochelle High School to teach for a day. You probably think I’m a little old to be doing this again.” “You’re not too old, and you’ll do a great job in the classroom. I’d bet my first Social Security check on it – the one I got in the mail yesterday.” I emailed one of the teachers I worked with in 1978. Paula, who is still teaching there, advised me that things have changed a lot. “We introduce all the new technology. We use laptops, iPads, global positioning devices, smart boards, and interactive learning touchscreens. Students are fascinated with anything new.” I’m still not sure what I am going to teach, but I’d love to discuss what was going on back in the era of Watergate, Vietnam, Roe v. Wade, and Kent State. (I wonder if they teach ancient history at the high school level.) In the ’70s, gas prices were soaring, veterans were returning from a war that many people thought was a mistake, the federal government bailed out Chrysler and there was unrest in Iran. Come to think of it, I know exactly what to talk about.

Klipsch’s 2014 season offers variety, venue updates By Dawn Pearson • editorial@youarecurrent.com
Music fans of all genres have a lot to look forward to this summer at Klipsch Music Center, and they can thank themselves for the upgrades and famous artists performmusic ing in the open arena in Noblesville. Country band Rascal Flatts kicks off the summer concert series, which includes acts from country to rock to rap to ’70s groups. “The country genre continues to become more popular and make no mistake about it, this is not your grandfather’s country music,” said Andrew Newport, general manager for North American Concerts and Live Nation. Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban will all make stops through this summer, too. Fans have new country artists to look forward to as well as camping in Klipsch’s campground. “We’re thrilled to be hosting two nights of Luke Bryan on Aug. 29 and 30 and will open our on-site campground,” Newport said. “We’re also very excited to host Dierks Bently who is headlining Klipsch for the first time on Sept. 27.” Classic rock also will be alive and rolling in Noblesville this summer. “A bittersweet date for us this summer is with Motley Crue with Alice Cooper. While we love hosting these guys, we understand that this is their final tour,” he said. “So if you’ve ever wanted to see them, this could be your last chance to rock out with them.” Jimmy Buffett travels with one the world’s most “enviable tailgate parties,” and Journey will appear with Steve Miller Band and Tower of Power - one of those shows where everyone will sing along every word to every song. “KISS & Def Leppard will be stopping by on Aug. 22, and if you haven’t seen either of these bands before, you need to,” Newport said. There are many new artists performing for the first time as well. “We love seeing artists that are relatively new to the scene and this year will showcase One Republic, Kings of Leon, Fall Out Boy, Wiz Khalifa and the Goo Goo Dolls,” according to Newport. “Fall Out Boy is a Warped Tour alumni which will visit Indy on July 3. We always enjoyed seeing shots of our venue on Warped Roadies show that airs on FUSE TV.” And it wouldn’t be summer without Klipsch’s staple, multi-night performer Dave Matthews Band. They will be visiting at the end of June. “We’ll be camping for two nights of DMB,” he said. Whereas the band has toured with opening acts historically, this year the shows will be an

evening with Dave Matthews Band. “We’re hearing that in addition to the band’s normal sets, there may also be some acoustic songs as well,” he said. “We are excited to see what changes the band will make to their live show this year.” Newport credits the music lovers for their support.
“We’re fortunate enough to book some incredible artists every season and should thank the fans for coming out year after year. It’s because of the fans that we’re able to continue to bring many of the industry’s hottest acts to Indiana,” he said. “We can’t wait to open the doors to se so many familiar faces and hopefully some new ones as well.”

‘Grace & Glorie’ offers tears and laughs By Chris Bavender • editorial@youarecurrent.com It’s the story of two women - one a feisty 90-year-old cancer patient who has returned home to die, the other her volunteer hospice worker grieving the death of her theatre only child. The unlikely friendship is the focus of Main Street Productions’ latest offering, “Grace & Glorie.” “It’s the lovely story of two women from different walks of life who come together and become friends,” said director Doug Davis. “In the process they discover they have a lot in common through the tribulations they have gone through in their personal lives.” “Grace & Glorie” – set in the Blue Ridge Mountains - features Marty Essig as Grace and Kristen Wilson as Glorie. Wilson has appeared in two other Main Street shows and is directing the upcoming production of “Diary of Anne Frank,” and she said the script touched her heart. “It was an opportunity for me to bring a beautiful story to life,” Wilson said. “It hit home for me because I moved back here from Florida to take care of my grandmother. She is 91 and has Alzheimer’s. I wanted her to be able to stay in her home where she is comfortable. Doing this play lets me tell my story and doing something I love - acting.” Davis said patrons can expect a really interesting night at the theater. “It’s a neat piece – a mixture of comedy and some drama in there. Mostly at Westfield we do comedy but this has nice mixture,” Davis said. “You

Area emerging as retiree destination Commentary by Bill Demaree While many retirees often adopt a snowbird mentality where they spend some, if not all, of their retirement in warmer Housing climates, many individuals and couples are beginning to recognize the benefits of strategically relocating to new areas for reasons other than warmth. Hamilton County and its cities have consistently been recognized as some of the top places to live in the United States, but families and those in the middle of their career aren’t the only ones taking notice. Retirees living on a fixed income are continuing to find creative ways to maximize their assets, and the metropolitan Indianapolis area, including Carmel, provides ample opportunities for them to stretch their dollar a little further. One of the big draws for the Indianapolis region is the relatively low cost of living. In fact, in 2013, the Indianapolis region was nearly 10 percent below the national average for cost of living for the entire United States. Housing prices are also well below the national average. The National Association of Realtors put the median home price nationally in 2013 at $196,900, while the Indianapolis area was nearly $60,000 less at $134,500. For retirees living on a budget, both of these factors can greatly influence the way they live.
Having to spend more on groceries or a mortgage could translate into less money to spend on traveling, hobbies or other personal pursuits. A lower cost of living will help extend the assets that have taken them a lifetime to accumulate, and, for retirees looking to downsize, the Indiana housing market provides much more bang for the buck. Together, these considerations lead to a higher quality of life and provide retirees with additional resources to better take advantage of local amenities without having to worry about draining their retirement savings or spending outside of their budget. One thing is for certain, successful retirement takes planning and dedication. It also requires individuals and couples to set goals for themselves regarding the type of lifestyle they want to live when they retire. Whether they seek an active lifestyle, a peaceful destination or a mix of both, Hamilton County and the metro area provide plenty of opportunities for retirees to stretch their assets further and achieve their retirement goals. Bill Demaree owns Demaree Retirement Services, which specializes in safeguarding and growing assets for clients in or approaching retirement and helping to meet their retirement goals.

DISPATCHES Paper Social Security statements are back - The Social Security Administration will resume mailing paper earnings statements to many Americans in September. The mailed statements fell victim to budget cuts in 2011. But if you’ve signed up to view your benefits statements online, you will not get the mailed statement. AARP said the mailed earnings statements are important for many Americans, because so few people - about 11 million - have signed up to read them online. The Social Security Administration decided to reinstate mailed statements after receiving pressure from the paper industry and advocacy groups for the elderly and other Americans who do not have regular access to the Internet.

Avoid unexpected student loan defaults - Student loan borrowers are suddenly being thrown into default when the co-signer on their loan - often a parent or grandparent - dies or files for bankruptcy. Even if they are current on their payments, some borrowers are immediately being placed in default and told to repay the loan in full because their co-signer can no longer back them financially, according to a report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. These so-called “auto-defaults” came to light during an analysis of nearly 3,600 student loan and student loan-related debt collection complaints submitted to the CFPB’s consumer complaint database between October 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014. To avoid surprise defaults, the CFPB recommends immediately contacting your lender to request that your co-signer be released from the loan if he or she has passed away or filed for bankruptcy.

While regular mammograms are a recommended part of preventive healthcare, some women delay scheduling Wellness them for a variety of reasons. Understanding the facts – and dispelling the myths – of mammography can help relieve anxiety and shed light on why undergoing regular screening mammograms is so important. Family history Most women diagnosed with breast cancer – nearly 85 percent – have no family history of the disease. If breast cancer does run in your family, you’re at increased risk of developing it. Talk with your doctor about your family history and any other risk factors you may have. Age For all women, increasing age is a risk factor for breast cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that women age 40 and older have annual screening mammograms. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force suggests screening every two years for women ages 50 to 74. Discuss these guidelines with your doctor. He or she can help determine, based on your medical history and personal risk factors, when and how often you should have mammograms. Pain and discomfort
Some women put off scheduling mammograms because they’ve heard they are painful. The test takes just a few minutes, and any discomfort you may feel is brief. To help minimize discomfort, schedule the test after your period ends when your breasts are less sensitive. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever before the appointment to alleviate pain. No breast problems or lumps Mammograms can detect small tumors up to three years before they can be felt. Treatment is most effective when breast cancer is diagnosed in the early stages. Concern about radiation While mammograms do expose women to radiation, the amount is quite low and presents little risk. Mammograms are considered safe and effective for diagnosing breast cancer early, which leads to a better chance for cure. Be sure to see your doctor if you notice any changes in your breasts, such as lumps, thickening or discharge. In your efforts to engage in preventive care for your good health, consider the importance of regular mammograms. James Smith, MD, specializes in obstetrics and gynecology.

Tannery in Fes el Bali, Morocco (Photo by Don Knebel)
Fes el Bali: Travel to a golden age Commentary by Don Knebel
At a time when much of Europe was still intellectually asleep, Fes el Bali (Old Fes) was the “Athens of Africa.” Today this travel walled city within Fes, Morocco, is the world’s largest automobile free urban area, with 9,000 twisting streets so narrow in places that loaded donkeys cannot easily pass. Idris I founded the city of Fes el Bali in 789 AD as the capital of his new Islamic Empire. The University of Al-Karaouine, now the world’s oldest university, was established in the city in 859. By the twelfth century, Fes el Bali had become an international center of Islamic learning and culture. Its population of 200,000 made it the largest city in the world. When Maimonides, the great Jewish philosopher and physician, left Cordoba, Spain, in about 1160 because of growing tension between Jews and Muslims, he settled in Fes el Bali to continue his studies. For Fes el Bali’s 150,000 current residents, life is not much different than it was hundreds of years ago, although electricity makes some tasks easier. Merchants in small shops still sell everything from fresh camel and goat meat on hooks to fruit and fish stacked high on tables
to pottery and clothing made by hand. Two hundred mosques still call residents to prayer. One popular shop sells rugs woven by Berbers in the nearby mountains and another sells high-end antiques in a 14th century mansion. Tanneries producing leather using processes unchanged since the twelfth century have become symbols of Fes el Bali. Employees hand visitors mint sprigs to hold under their noses as they observe huge vats where hides, gathered daily from local slaughter houses, are tanned and colored. The mint can’t overcome the stench of the tanning agent, made from pigeon droppings and said to be the secret to the suppleness of the brightly colored leather goods sold in tannery shops. Major construction projects are changing the face of Morocco. Fes el Bali, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, is protected against the rush of the twenty first century and provides the closest approximation we have to a time machine to Morocco’s golden age. 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

trees, too, with competing yellows, oranges and reds all merging together. It’s imperative to employ plants with multiple attributes: spring flowers, summer berry, fall color and winter interest. SEASONAL INTEREST There are required strategies to create seasonal interest beyond flowering beauties. Dramatic bed shapes are a huge contributor to winter interest as unique shapes emerge from the frost and light snow cover. Toasty ornamental grass fronds are strong performers as are simple boulder outcroppings, an occasional elegant teak bench and the general bones of the outdoor space. LOW MAINTENANCE Sure, we all love playing in the dirt but frankly most of our schedules or aching knees don’t correlate with that passion. Planting the right plant in the right place is the key to low maintenance. Plants that require minimal pruning – that thrive (not just survive) in difficult conditions and don’t drink a lot – are other primary low maintenance living components.

Cork flooring a comfortable, savvy design choice Commentary by David Decker Eco-friendly and full of natural health benefits, cork flooring is experiencing a growth in popularity among homeowners. And it’s easy to see why. Let’s take a closer look at cork flooring and the basic facts indoors that you should know before installing it in your home. Cork is a renewable resource made from tree bark that’s a greener alternative to traditional hardwood flooring materials. By definition, “renewable resource” refers to a material that can be harvested without impacting the environment. When cork is harvested, only the bark of the tree is removed, which means the tree can continue to grow after the product is removed. The bark is replenished every nine years, at which point it can be harvested once again. This is great news for any homeowner looking to cut down on their environmental footprint and install a greener hard surface flooring option. Many of the benefits from cork flooring stem from its natural-occurring physical properties. Cork is quite durable and resilient, which means when it’s used for flooring, it will hold up well against foot traffic. The material retains heat, so it will feel warmer under your feet than other hard surface options. Its cushioned texture makes it an excellent flooring option for people who suffer from joint conditions or those with young children. Additionally, it can help absorb sound waves, which makes it a good choice for rooms where acoustics could become an issue. And as any wine aficionado knows, cork is naturally resistant to mold. This makes it one of the more hypoallergenic flooring options available: great news for allergy sufferers. On the flip side, cork flooring can be a little pricey. While a little more comfortable to walk on, cork’s spongy texture does not hold up well under the weight of heavy furniture. You’ll also have to be careful with sharp objects, as cork can get scratched or cut fairly easily. This means that pet nails, high heels and other sharp objects could scratch the surface of your flooring as with any other type of hardwood. To ensure that your cork flooring has a long lifespan, you’ll want to

proactively protect it from scratches or dents. Safeguard the flooring and install soft pads or coasters underneath your heaviest furniture. Before installing cork, carefully weigh all of the pros and cons and analyze the characteristics of the room first. If placed in a suitable room, cork flooring can be a comfortable and savvy design choice.
