Plain Talk

Veteran authors recognized Commentary by Ward Degler I spent last weekend in the presence of heroes. The Indianapolis Air Show featured a tent for veteran authors. Visitors got the chance to chat with men who served during World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East, and get signed copies of their books. I was privileged to be included among them. Survivors of the USS Indianapolis were there. Edgar Harrell, a marine aboard the ship, wrote, “Out of the Depths,” a moving account of the sinking and the horrors that ensued before the handful of survivors were rescued. Richard Curtis was a fighter pilot who flew P51 Mustangs against the German Luftwaffe. He titled his book, “Dumb But Lucky!” He assured me the title was appropriate. Matthew Modleski was there. He enlisted in the Air Force out of high school, received a commission and became a fighter pilot. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, and achieved his dream of flying as a member of the Air Force Thunderbirds. His patriotic book is entitled, “The American Dream … and

What We Must Do to Secure Our Children’s Dreams.” Another veteran wrote about serving as a navy gunner on an aging freighter delivering war supplies to Murmansk in the arctic region of Russia in the early days of World War II. He said their biggest job was chipping ice that threatened to capsize the ship. On Saturday, a tall, frail man sat at the table and spread out copies of his books. He was Edgar Whitcomb, former Indiana Governor, escapee from Corregidor and round-the-world sailor. All weekend people stopped by to shake our hands and thank us for our service. Then, there was the man we thanked. He walked quietly up to our tent wearing the Medal of Honor with its distinctive blue ribbon around his neck. Everyone stood and offered him a salute. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth…and Times More Recent.” You can contact him at wdegler@comcast.net.

Turf grass herbicides explained Commentary by Chris Arney

With a multitude of weed control products available, how does one choose what, how and when to use? Having a basic knowledge of how herbicides work will aid you in your quest for a weed-free lawn. Herbicides fall into one of two categories. Pre-emergent herbicides control activity as the weed seed germinates. They inhibit this process and kill the plant as it is sprouting. Postemergent herbicides are designed to be applied to already growing plants. Although there are exceptions, most crabgrass herbicides are preemergent and most broadleaf herbicides are post-emergent products. All herbicides have a specific mode of action. There are several ways herbicides kill plants, and most of them take place on the cellular level. Inhibiting photosynthesis (food production), growing point inhibitors and cell wall disruptors are just a few examples. Knowing how and when to apply these products is as important as choosing which product to use. The key is getting the herbicide into the target plant. Liquid products tend to produce better results, as the coverage is more even (one exception is that granular products work better than liquid when applied to wet leaves). Once the herbicide is on the leaf of the plant, it will then be absorbed and begin its process of disrupting the plant’s biology and ultimately killing 6 | July 3, 2012

the plant. Best results are achieved when plants are actively growing, the soil has moisture, temperatures are below 80 degrees and the plant’s leaves are dry. Plants have natural defense measures that are enacted in dry and hot conditions that can impede the performance of herbicides. Whenever you are working with pesticides, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s label. It will give you all the necessary information on how to use the product effectively.

American Structurepoint unveils Strategic Plan Draft

THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com It was a long time coming, but Zionsville’s “plan” finally is on the table. American Structurepoint principal planner Chris Hamm last Tuesday outlined the town’s Economic Development Strategic Plan Draft before a sizeable crowd in the Town Hall Community Room. Hamm said that, while the plan is the product of much input Hamm and numerous meetings over the past year-plus, in no way is it final. “It’s been a detailed process,” Hamm said. “We wanted to provide a living document. Anyone who’s been around planning understands that these things don’t operate in a vacuum. This (plan) will provide a strong foundation moving forward, but has the flexibility to accommodate changes.” Some of the changes, ostensibly, will come from the public’s feedback. American Structurepoint will field questions and concerns until July 19, and Hamm also took inquiries from the crowd during the June 26 gathering. After July 19, Hamm said the Working Group, which has partnered with American Structurepoint to develop the plan, will convene to consolidate all the gathered elements. “These things only work when people engage,” said Hamm. The plan itself deals exclusively with a 1,000acre area in the southeastern quadrant of Zionsville. Bordered by Ind. 334, Michigan Road, 96th Street and Zionsville Road, the study area suggests future land use and encompasses existing residential and commercial areas, as well as both developable and undevelopable land. Hamm was quick – and adamant in so doing – to point out that the plan is not a zoning document. “There’s been some confusion about that,” he said. “Nothing in (the plan) provides a change in zoning for any property.” Hamm continued, “This plan can only do so much, because development requires good market conditions, willing sellers and willing buyers; nothing happens without those elements. If you’re not interested in there being an office on your property, then it’ll never be that way, but people need to have an expectation as to what may or may not happen around them.” The plan peers into a future – perhaps dewww.currentzionsville.com

Long-term strategic guide to manage and facilitate stable and desired economic development within the study area • Assist policy, land use and infrastructure decisions • Gather input from a variety of sources to build consensus around the plan • To provide a living document that will be updated as change occurs among land use, property owners, funding resources and priorities within the community

cades out – iteration of Zionsville that includes a gateway district at the corner of Ind. 334 and Michigan Road, a Village extension south of 334 along Zionsville Road, light industrial, office, medical and nature areas. Town Manager Ed Mitro said infrastructure is the first step in the process. Mitro “Currently, the Redevelop-

ment Commission has a study put together on sewers on 106th Street and Zionsville Road,” he said. “That will be ongoing for about six months, maybe with construction next year. Some areas are shovel-ready now, some will be next year.” Aside from turning over dirt, development hinges on interest from businesses.

Bryan Brackemyre said the Dow-owned property, a major chunk of the middle of the study area, has had interest from potential suitors. “We’ve had a handful of leads Brackemyre about the Dow property in the past three years,” he said. “Right now, we’ve got maybe one.” During the meeting, Hamm touched on a topic close to the hearts of many in the room: the Village. “The Village is crucial to Zionsville – it’s what defines you,” he said. “Any Village extension is not meant to supplant the existing Village, it’s meant to increase foot traffic on Main Street. These won’t be big-box retailers, they will be built out to the street to create the same feel and character.” Many residents have questions about the plan. Here are the most common concerns from the June 26 meeting: • What is the definition of single family residential? • Who’s going to define “high level of design” in the community? • Why does the Council seem determined to widen Zionsville Road? • Why is the plan’s language about the revitalization of the Village so weak? • Does the gateway district equal mixed-use zoning?

President Daniels It is our position that the appointment of Governor Mitch Daniels as the 12th president of Purdue University by its’ Board of Trustees is a natural progression toward the advancement of education in the state of Indiana. Hoosiers are fortunate to have the continued service of such a talented individual who is genuinely dedicated to the citizens of Indiana and has always believed in the value of our state universities. While the nation would certainly have benefited as a whole if Governor Daniels had chosen to pursue a career in politics, he will no doubt have a national and likely international impact with the challenges that await him in higher education. Bringing Purdue to the forefront of research, technology and agriculture is the most visible goal. The more interesting task will be the manner in which he makes his observations and dissects university structure in tackling the “how.” How can higher education stay affordable? How can outside funding sources be capitalized? How does the value of an advanced degree compare to the investment? These are just a few of the questions regarding higher education we are looking forward being addressed by the future president of Purdue. We wish Governor Daniels good luck, and Boiler Up!

St. Elmo's fire

Commentary by Terry Anker

Never a big drinker, my dad liked to celebrate with copious amounts of dry-aged beef, if not necessarily malted hops. So it only made sense that, when facing what would ultimately prove to be terminal esophageal cancer in his early 50s, he asked to mark the last days before aggressive surgery with a perfect steak. While the request was simple, it was a tough order to fill. Certainly, this was a guy who had seen his share of prime beef. Like most farm-bred kids of his generation, he knew the best way to age and cut meat. Luckily, Indianapolis is a steakhouse town. And in the best-steak-of-your-lives category, we are blessed with one of the top dogs. So, I pitched to my dad that we’d like to take him to St. Elmo’s, the historic downtown Indianapolis joint named, oddly enough in its land-locked locale, after the patron saint of the sailors. With his health failing, I was unsure as to how the night might go. But when the appointed day arrived, he was ready and we

packed the family, then consisting of us and a 3-year-old, and headed to the venerable eatery. It couldn’t have gone better. The fire-seared entrees, as always, exceeded expectations. But mostly, the restaurant provided the perfect backdrop – at once imminently comfortable and enormously distinct. The grand old dame rose to the occasion. The laughter seemed sweeter and the camaraderie more affectionate. Today, St. Elmo’s bi-annually receives a visit from us and our now 16 year-old with his 11-year-old brother. Sadly, Dad never recovered from his illness and died within the year. But with each ensuing call, St. Elmo’s welcomes us with robust laughter and perhaps a tear that we eagerly blame on the fiery cocktail sauce. Sometimes place matters. And for us, this is the place.

Now comes the Fourth of July, the wonderful celebration of our great nation’s independence. Indeed, Wednesday is an important day, and we urge you to celebrate it for all the right reasons. The day also brings an opportunity to revel in the spirit of community. With myriad festivals going on, there is no shortage of opportunities in which to partake and to experience. Countless numbers of volunteers from across our region have devoted untold hours of service in preparation for the respective events. The Fishers Freedom Festival, held June 22 and 23, is a perfect example of that. Noblesville, Zionsville, Westfield and Carmel pull off similar feats each year. To us, that is as exciting as any display of pyrotechnics, although that is pretty cool, too. So, as you party on to live music, gorge yourself on festival food, visit with the various vendors at all the events and hopefully stay as cool as possible, be on the lookout for those who make it happen. Those directing traffic, emptying trash containers, helping stage the acts and countless others could use a quick “thank you” or a pat on the back, for they, more than anyone or anything, make it all come together for you. ••• A press release from The White House sailed in across the transom the other day. It touted the launch of The White House Internship Program, the mission of which is to make the White House accessible to future leaders from around the nation and to prepare those devoted to public service for future leadership opportunities. Further, it stated a White House Internship provides a unique opportunity to gain valuable professional experience and build leadership skills. We found that last statement to be incredibly ironic.

Have kids? Get them immunized! Commentary by Danielle Wilson A couple months ago I received an e-mail from one of my kids’ schools informing me that a case of Whooping cough had been confirmed. Then I remembered the measles scare back in February and how as a public school employee, I had to provide proof of immunization or be suspended from teaching. I have to wonder, were either of these incidents caused by individuals who’d never been immunized? I already know this is going to honk some people off, but I’m going to say it anyway: Parents who don’t vaccinate/immunize their children are idiots. And worse than being stupid, they are acting selfishly. Not only are these moms and dads playing Russian roulette with the health of their own kids, but they are putting mine at risk, especially when these children are allowed to attend public schools. I’m sorry, but if you are going to take advantage of public education, than you should be forced to comply with the health laws of the state and community. No conscientious or religious objections allowed. If you want to take a chance on your child contracting mumps or rubella, go for it. I don’t agree with you, but I support your constitutional rights to decide on the wellbeing of your own kids. But I will also fight tooth and nail to have your family banned from public schools so that your decisions don’t endanger my family. “But, Danielle, what about autism? Don’t

vaccines cause autism?” No, they do not. The CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a slew of other organizations have each reviewed the evidence and found no link between the MMR vaccine and autism. “But, Danielle, I don’t have health insurance. I can’t afford immunizations.” County health departments offer free and low-cost clinics to all residents. You might have to wait in line, but they’ll get it done. “But, Danielle, I don’t want to risk a fatal reaction to the vaccine.” But you’re willing to risk your child contracting tetanus? Fine. Homeschool or pay for private. “But, Danielle, my religion is against medical intervention.” Good for you. See above. Could this year’s measles and pertussis cases been flukes? Yes. Even vaccinated people can sometimes become ill. But with the number of non-immunized children growing every day, it can’t be long before these diseases and others begin to occur with some frequency. And then we really will be in trouble. So, please, if you have kids or are thinking of starting a family, don’t be an idiot. Get them immunized! Peace out.

Questioning dentistry Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Most people have their teeth cleaned and examined twice a year. That was pretty much my routine, but then my dentist started scheduling me for quarterly appointments. I asked him why, and he said patients with deep pockets need to come in four times a year. I thought he was talking about my gums. Before my last appointment, I was asked to fill out a form so they could update my information. There were 50 statements and I was asked to indicate those that addressed a dental concern I had. I checked off all of them because I have found that with my regular physician, the more things he thinks I suffer from, the easier it is to get an appointment when I’m sick. In addition, I always put in snide comments next to the questions. That’s why the staff doesn’t keep me in the waiting room too long. They’re afraid I might talk about my visit in my newspaper column. These are actual statements from the dental questionnaire: • I have cavities and broken fillings. I have no idea if I do. Isn’t it your job to know this? Hey, I don’t have a shiny metal instrument with a tiny mirror on the end of it. • My teeth are moving. And I’m going with them. Do you know a good dentist in

Boca I can recommend to them? • I snore when I sleep at night. Oh, yes. A dozen people told me that last week. • I need help flossing. I could use some assistance. But be sure that Cyndi the hygienist is over no later than midnight. I fall asleep after Letterman’s monologue. • I don’t like the shape of my teeth. What are my options here? Is octagon available? I’m very New Age. • I need information on how to prevent cavities. Yes, I’m a total moron. Is daily exercise the key? How about cutting back on fuel consumption? Give me a hint, please. • My teeth seem short. They reach my food. The bottoms and the tops can touch. I don’t think it’s fair to expect much more than that from my teeth when it comes to length. • I have one of the following: Obesity, Diabetes, Hypertension, Stroke, Heart Disease, Erectile Dysfunction. Okay, if I have to pick just one, I’ll say hypertension. But I have to ask, what do teeth have to do with…never mind.

Pressure-proof

Commentary by David Cain

I play golf about once a season. I actually grew up playing and had a better handicap at 16 years old than I do now. Golf is one of those things where I feel like I haven’t really improved over the years, which doesn’t seem right. I understand the fundamentals and perform flawlessly when chipping balls in my backyard. My game is still reasonable when I hit the range. On the course, however, it’s ironically hit or miss. The culprit? It’s nerves. It’s pressure. It’s mental. It’s nothing. I was thinking about pressure situations and how people respond differently. It’s so easy to let pressure influence you to the point that it overtakes you and potentially changes the outcome. It’s easier to perform at high levels when there is no or little pressure. I’ve had a strategy for years on how to respond to pressure situations. I always work to remove the mental pressure by outlining the worst-case scenario. You know, the “What’s the worst thing that happens if I screw this up?” type scenario. If you can answer that question, for me, it removes much of the stress associated with the pressure to perform.

I used to work with a guy that was the absolute opposite. He would always raise the bar and fill any situation with as much pressure as possible. He’d say things like, “If we screw this up, we’ll never recover.” It would drive me insane. It created a situation where I could never feel like it went well. His pressure making ways would create a situation where I found it hard to concentrate. I asked him once how come he built up situations so much. He told me that the pressure drew out his best performance. He’d practiced the idea of pressure. Over the years he was never afraid of awkward situations and he’d actually go out of his way to create them. The philosophy was the more comfortable you are in abnormal situations the less likely you are to waiver when all the eyes are on you. And you could become more pressure-proof by loving awkward situations. While my golf game hasn’t improved much, I do believe I’ve gotten better at being awkward and maybe that’ll eventually help something. David Cain works at Magnitude, a sales and marketing company.

The 2010 and 2011 Westfield Rocks the Fourth events were huge successes and this years promises to be even better. (Submitted photos)

Celebration comes to Westfield, Noblesville and more By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Each and every July, Americans all across the nation gather together in one place or another and celebrate our Independence Day. This July Fourth, of course, is no different and with it comes a wide array of events in nearly every town and city across the state. While Carmelfest is certainly the area’s largest event of the week, Westfield and Noblesville are holding events of their own as well. The place to be on the Fourth in Noblesville is the city’s Fourth of July Festival, Parade and Car Show. Starting off at 5 p.m., the parade will begin at the corner of 16th and Harrison Streets and wind its way to Monument and 16th Streets, featuring Grand Marshal George Kristo as well as many of the cars to be seen later in the day as part of the car show. After the parade concludes at 6 p.m., a free

festival will be held on the grounds of Noblesville High School. It will feature music from Lipstick Blonde starting at 7 p.m., a children’s obstacle course, rock climbing wall, Minute to Win It games (with prizes) and more. The entirety of the festival is free aside (from the food vendors, of course). Since 2010, Westfield has been hosting its single largest community gathering each year, Westfield Rocks the Fourth. This year the event has only continued to grow and is shaping up to be the best yet. Centered in Asa Bales Park, located in the heart of Westfield, it will feature a wide array of entertainment throughout the day. For children, Imagine Church will be providing a Kids’ Area with live entertainment such as comedian Tony Wolf and a Beatles concert by School of Rock. Zionsville’s annual Lions Park festivities – and fireworks – were on hold at press time due to the Boone County burn ban, but the hope is that a reschedule date can be found for the popular event. Jai Baker Band, a returning country pop-rock

group, and Dave & Rae, a local rock ‘n’ roll favorite, will be providing musical entertainment throughout the evening. Most importantly for many, fireworks will cap off the evening at 9:45 p.m. and while best viewed from Asa Bales Park, will be visible for miles around. Car shows are at the heart of both Noblesville’s and Westfield’s festivities this year. Both car shows will include full award ceremonies (8:30 p.m. for Noblesville, 7 p.m. for Westfield) for the cars with the best paint, best engine and more. Westfield is anticipating their Headliner Car Show to double in size this year so plenty of great cars will be on display. For more Independence Day events, check out the Event Calendar on page 15.

Review / Et ceterea

Beef & Boards’ ‘Wizard of Oz’ delightfully powerful and unique Commentary by Hope Baugh “The Wizard of Oz” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre is a charming mix of the familiar and the fresh. I bet you will hum “We’re Off to See the Wizard” on your way in and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” on your way out, but in between, I bet you will laugh with delight at the unique lyrics, jokes, dances and more that make this stage version of the classic book and movie a treasure in its own right. The show is also a charming mix of theatrical special effects and invitations to pretend. You have to imagine the Yellow Brick Road, for example, but it is easy because the actors playing Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion (Lisa Bark, Doug King, Jeff Stockberger and Jayson Elliott, respectively) can so clearly see it in their minds’ eyes. It is also easy to believe that a storm swept Dorothy away to Oz because Lisa Bark and the tornado dancers evoke the strong winds so clearly in their movements (choreographed by Ron Morgan) and costumes (designed by Jill Kelly.) On the other hand, Glinda the Good Witch (Trisha Shepherd) actually does glide gracefully down from the sky and the cackling Wicked Witch (Lynne Perkins) always appears in an actual billow of smoke. The classic messages of “There’s no place like home” and “All you have is all you need” are as powerful as ever, but I also received new food for thought about the importance of friend-

“The Wizard of Oz” is running now through July 15 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre (9301 N. Michigan Rd., Indianapolis). Tickets range from $37 to $60, feature a full buffet and include a $10 discount for children. For more information, please visit beefandboards.com. ship in this story. Dorothy and her dog, Toto, (played adorably and splendidly by live dog Gracie Curry) have such great chemistry together on stage that you really believe they are inseparable best friends and that the girl believed the dog was her only friend before she met the others in Oz. The chemistry between Dorothy and her three new friends is attractive, too. You truly believe that they love and would do anything for each other by the time they reach the end of their road together. I wanted more tap dancing from the Tin Man, and I wondered why the ultimately jovial Wizard (portrayed by director Eddie Curry) didn’t appear first in Dorothy’s waking life as Professor Marvel, but these are merely quibbles. I loved this show and would confidently bring my whole family to see it. Hope Baugh writes about local theater here and on indytheatrehabit.com.

Outdoors The perils of an incredible backyard INSIDE & OUT

Commentary by Randy Sorrell The family wants a pool and I want a boat. Likely neither will happen. Besides, the neighbors have a pool. They simply need to vacation more so we can pool-watch/dog-sit. Which prompts a Groucho Marx line: Q. “What’s a pool? A. God’s final warning before you buy a boat.” I suppose you could reverse the story and it would equally fit. Buyer Beware Pools, boats and incredible backyard living spaces have their share of unexpected byproducts. Who knew you had so many friends until the jazzed patio, shady pergola and inspiring landscape were installed? The entertaining budget is completely out of whack now. And the ice maker simply can’t produce enough for roaming football players or the cast of Hairspray to stop in and consume. Pizza on speed-dial is a lifesaver, and a bowl of fruit seems to evaporate. A joyful Zionsville client simply couldn’t wait until the modified deck was complete before she and the kids disappeared to it. Dad seemed a little irritated that he wasn’t included. Prematurely escaping to incomplete patios is a national concern. Great patios, decks, porches and spaces will cause you to mysteriously disappear. Fun/costly things seem to just happen while enjoying your patio, as I was recently reminded when planning an upcoming “date night.” I

curiously wondered if Sting was playing close by. A few Apple keystrokes found us at a historic B&B in St. Louis a week later. Nice date! What to expect Expect more lively family dinner conversations and morning coffees on the patio. Expect less TV and more books. Expect imaginative plans to escape the office early. Expect lots of grilling, picnics, wine, relaxing. Expect great times and lots of laughing. It’s comforting to know, as we appreciate our freedoms this July Fourth, that proud Americans regularly carry dreams to reality. May you have a blessed and free Fourth of July.

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Get the ‘bang,’ be wise with the bucks Commentary by David Decker

“Bang for your buck” is a cliché, but “value engineering” is serious business when it comes to custom home improvements. A new kitchen, a new bathroom, a major re-think of central living areas or even a minor “freshen up” of cabinets or flooring should never be a sole matter of “What does it cost?” The right way to approach any project is: “What will achieve maximum value?” And three keys of value engineering are products, professionals and process. Products: No matter how big or small the budget, going out and buying the most expensive or least expensive appliances, materials and fixtures is the worst way to achieve value. There are so many products available that it really takes an expert to know where the best values are in terms of features, benefits, pricing and sourcing. Major name brands and exotic building materials may not deliver the best value for your particular value proposition or goals. Professionals: What surprises many people is that the very best skilled laborers and artisans in flooring, painting, installations, wall coverings, woodworking, and so forth, don’t advertise in public; they are professionals who greatly prefer working with other professionals. While it may be possible to hire one of these laborers individually, their time and skills are valuable.

Their rates are nearly always lower when they are working for a professional, reputable home improvement company that provides an extra layer of job protection and management, allowing them to focus on their craft. Process: Working with someone who understands the micro-world of a specific customer’s wants, needs, budget, goals and style preferences; possesses professional knowledge of the macro-marketplace; has years of experience properly orchestrating project elements in the correct order of completion; and who consistently and thoroughly communicates with the customer, results in three critical benefits: It enhances final value, limits costs and minimizes waste. Now that is serious bang for the buck. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies.com.

There’s a difference between caring for your family and trusting in the state’s highest-ranked care. No doubt. That’s what you want when your family needs care. Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health was ranked once again in 10 out of 10 pediatric categories by U.S.News & World Report. That makes us the state’s only nationally ranked children’s hospital and one of the most acclaimed in the nation. Trust when you need it most. That’s the Riley difference.
