Art: Children participate in a previous Safety Town program. (Photo submitted)

Safety Town to be held in Zionsville at Boone Meadow Elementary By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com Starting today, ZCS Eagle Recreation and Enrichment will be offering Safety Town for 4 to 7-year-olds at Boone Meadow Elementary School. Running through August 9, the first-ever event is a national safety education program for preschoolers and early elementary students. Children will learn about traffic safety, pedestrian safety, fire and water safety, stranger dangers, school bus safety, personal safety on playgrounds and in neighborhoods, and safety about prescription medications. Julie Oakley, Safety Town director, said, “Children will participate in the child-size city

as drivers of tricycles. We will have a traffic light, stop signs, rail road crossing, pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, etc. The hands on safety practice will remain with them throughout their early childhood years.” Oakley contends that the experience is something that will stick with children past their earliest years. “My own children participated in Safety Town years ago in Michigan,” she said. “They still remember the lessons they were taught and the fun they had at Safety Town.” To register go the Summer Day Camps link on Eagle Rec tab on the ZCS main web site, cms.zcs.k12.in.us.

Our town A Salty Tale West Nile reported in Boone County COMMUNITY

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Commentary by Ward Degler

If we want to stay healthy, we should avoid salt, right? Well, yes and no. The truth is; ordinary table salt is bad for you because all the nutrients and minerals have been boiled out of it, and dangerous stuff like aluminum has been added. All salt started in the sea somewhere. And in this natural form, it contains 80-plus vitamins and minerals, many of which are not only beneficial, but essential to human life. Think of the human body as a battery. All batteries need salt and water to function. The human battery also needs the nutrients in sea salt. Refined salt, on the other hand, has been cooked at high temperatures, which changes its chemical structure, leaving nothing behind but sodium and chloride. Both are toxins. So, it’s probably a good idea to use only sea salt, which your body can use. Just what does salt do for you anyway? It controls water in your body, and tells your body when you need water. Think puffy ankles. It reduces acidity in brain cells, which enables the brain to talk to the rest of your body. Think of your brain as a serious computer that runs a very complex machine. Salt is essential for absorption of food in the intestines, and keeps the lungs clear of mucus. It prevents muscle cramps. It is also a natural antihistamine, and helps keep your bones strong. This last point is important because 27 percent of the body’s salt is in the bones. Osteoporosis occurs when the body needs more salt and takes it from the bones. If you are taking all of this with a grain of salt, check out Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj. Arguably, he is the world’s leading authority on the body’s need for salt and water. 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.

The first signs of the West Nile virus have been reported in Boone County, health officials announced on July 18. The virus is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that initially bit an infected bird. An infected person may show symptoms of the virus 3 to 15 days after being bitten. Residents can take the following protective steps: • Avoid being outdoors during prime mosquito biting times – dusk to dawn – when possible. • Apply insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to clothes and exposed skin.

• Install or repair screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of the home. • When possible, wear long-sleeved shirts and pants when outside. West Nile virus can cause fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph glands or a rash. However, health officials said some individuals developed a more severe form of the disease with encephalitis or meningitis and other neurological syndromes, including flaccid muscle paralysis. People over the age of 50 are at the greatest risk for serious illness and even death. More than 20 Hoosiers have died from the illness, including one last year.

METZGER HONORED – Jessica Metzger of Zionsville was named to the Dean's List for the spring 2012 semester at Washington University in St. Louis. Metzger is enrolled in the university's College of Arts & Sciences. To qualify for the Dean's List in the College of Arts & Sciences, students must earn a semester grade point average of 3.6 or above, and be enrolled in at least 14 graded units.

Cover story

Zionsville’s Rollie and Cheri Dick excel in life, laughs and love By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com It’s not about dollar signs, or job titles, or vacations to Europe. Heck, it’s not even about fancy cars. It’s all about love – and Rollie and Cheri Dick have that in spades. The Zionsville power couple’s tale is a fantastic one, their union a phoenix that rose from the ashes of loss to find true kinship and chemistry. Sitting across from them, it’s easy to mistake their smitten behavior for teenagers’. “We have so much fun,” Cheri said, her face lighting up at the prospect of talking about her husband of nearly three and a half years. “We’ve had people say, ‘We thought you just got married!’ I think it’s a case of soul mates.” The Dicks, without the love story, would still be a tremendous read. Rollie, born in Iowa and a Zionsville resident since 1971, was a public accountant before joining Conseco and now, aside from chairing and serving on a number of Indianapolis-area boards, works with MH Equity. Cheri, an Indianapolis native, worked in non-profits and spent more than 20 years in her father’s architectural engineering firm before applying for the executive director position at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre some seven years ago. Little did she or Rollie know, that career choice would change both their lives. “I was chairman of the board (for the theatre) and we needed to hire a new director,” said Rollie. “Cheri was at a change point in her life and needed to look for a new employer. A friend convinced her to apply for the job, and I was on the search committee. I like to say that I voted ‘No’ on her hiring but was outvoted.” “Can you believe that?!” Cheri interjects. And so it goes with the Dicks, but the entirety of their story is not upbeat. At the time of Cheri’s hire, both she and Rollie were happily married. Soon after the commencement of their working relationship – they met each Tuesday at 4 p.m., Rollie the mentor and Cheri the understudy – both of their spouses passed away within a year of each other. A short time later, sparks flew and a new re8 | July 31, 2012

lationship was formed – even if the honeymoon had to wait. “We both had children prior, and I had grandchildren from the prior marriage,” said Rollie. “We decided that our blended families didn’t know each other real well so we deferred taking a honeymoon for a few months until we got everybody’s schedule coordinated and then we invited all the kids and grandkids to come along on the honeymoon.” “That was really a baptism by fire!” Cheri summarized of that trip to Canada’s Victoria Island, before noting that the family is very supportive and pleased with the happiness they see in both she and Rollie. “It’s just great chemistry, and our kids recognize that.” After their nuptials, the Dicks moved into Rollie’s home on Zionsville’s western flank. Interestingly enough, however, there is a house much farther west that looks more than a little like it. “In December of 1969, (his first wife) and I built a home outside Des Moines because it had been determined that my job would not be transferring me,” said Rollie. “By March of ’70, that changed and I was transferred. I loved that house, so I built one just like it here.” “Rollie took me to Des Moines a few years ago to show me,” Cheri said. “I said, ‘I’ve seen that house before; I live in it!’” It is there the Dicks lay their heads. Tucked away and off the road, the home is set deep in nature, something both Rollie and Cheri enjoy. When they’re not watching fawns at their deer feeder, entertaining or cooking, they can be found doing nothing together – and enjoying it greatly.

“We have such common interests,” said Cheri. “We enjoy reading and play music every night – our favorite song is “Unforgettable.” We are not television watchers; we’re really dorky.” “We’re on a perpetual honeymoon,” Rollie said. “Every day is better than the last.” As those days pass, Rollie still drives his 2004 Pontiac Grand-Am – “I have a reputation to

keep up,” he jokes – and stays busy, with no plans to slow down anytime soon. Cheri also must tend to her work, but it’s their fairytale that remains front and center. “Every day is a favorite memory,” said Cheri. “Our mantra is ‘All we have is time.’ I’m so madly in love with this man; and it is so wonderful, being in love.” www.currentzionsville.com

Fifty Shades of Gray

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Well now! I just finished the controversial Fifty Shades of Gray by E.L. James, and I have to say, I can definitely understand what all the fuss is about. Spoiler alert: I may reveal more than you’d like to know, so now’s the time to skip over to another article if you plan to read it. And if you have a predetermined aversion to erotic literature and/or already think I’m going to hell in a Prada handbag, you should also turn the page. On to the good stuff! Okay, first let me say that Fifty Shades is not going to win any major literary awards. The writing is subpar, almost immature, with too many repeated catch phrases and words for my liking. Ms. James is not even on the same planet as my beloved Nora Roberts. I also didn’t like the main characters. Anastasia never did or said anything worthy of a strong protagonist, and was too insecure to make me care about her. And the only redeeming quality in Christian was his Calvin-Klein-underwearmodel body. He was simply a selfish punk most of the time. That being said, I do think Ms. James came up with an intriguing story of two people so different they couldn’t possibly NOT fall in love. But let’s be honest, I didn’t buy the book for its purported literary prowess. When I finally got to the first sex scene (a too-long one hundred pages in), I was very thankful I hadn’t fol-

lowed my instincts and chucked it out the window. Oh. My. Lord. Is it hot in here? This ain’t for the faint of heart, and it certainly doesn’t contain your typical, flowery romance-novel scenarios. James holds no detail back and offers what I can only assume is a very accurate depiction of the S&M world of dominants and submissives, “chips, dips, chains and whips.” (Sorry, but Weird Science is the only exposure I’d had to this lifestyle prior to Fifty Shades!) Sure, I felt wrong reading it in the company of my kids, but surprisingly empowered too: “Mommy’s reading her porn; make your own mac-n-cheese!” When I wasn’t suffering a hot flash or yearning for Doo, I wondered if I could ever be brave enough to try some of it myself. I don’t have an answer yet, but I’m happy to know that there are more flavors than vanilla (wink, wink.) In retrospect, I’m glad I read the book, as it seems most of you are who have emailed. Fifty Shades may not change your life, but it should provide some fascinating ideas to help jumpstart your libido. If nothing else, it’s a harmless, easy read with an endless amount of hilarious conversation fodder. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Opinion Water conservation mandate is needed

Handicapable It is our position that those of us who are not handicapped need to be more considerate and stop using the handicap parking spaces. While it may seem more convenient to be able to park right next to the building as opposed to walking an extra twenty yards, the inconvenience is far greater if someone who needs the spot shows up and it is being used. We urge those who have the tendency to park in these spots to stop, even if you are only going to be away from your car for a few minutes. Not only is it immoral, but it is also illegal. According to www.dmv. org, parking in a reserved spot without having the necessary plate or placard could get you a fine of at least $50.00. Under Indiana Law parking in a reserved spot without the proper credentials is a Class C misdemeanor. Next time you or someone you’re in the car with has the urge to park in a handicap spot, please be respectful of those who need the spots and find another space. It may be a slight hassle to you but it will be nothing compared to what someone who needs the spot will go through.

Real real

Commentary by Terry Anker

Donald Trump moved the phrase “You’re fired!” from the personnel office to reality television. But in The Donald’s world folks go from the board room, to an elevator, to a waiting cab to be whisked away not to be seen again until some reality reunion gives them another moment of airtime. In real real life when people get the boot, there is no afterglow of residual fame to soften the blow, no career waiting at home to be resumed and no parting gifts. People suffer. After the walk of shame back to their desk, they gather their belongings – with or without the helpful oversight of a member of corporate security. Next they leave their access cards, sign some paperwork and head to their car for the last time. No one celebrates their retirement. No one takes them for a farewell lunch at their favorite haunt. The newly unemployed drive from the lot and head home to share the news with waiting family.

Sometimes it happens with cause – the task and the laborer didn’t match. Sometimes it happens with circumstance – the role has changed and now three people can do the work of ten. And, sometimes it happens for what seems to be no real reason at all. Whatever might be the genesis, it rarely seems bearable at the time. I’ve been on both sides of this transaction and didn’t like it from either vantage point. But if we had to choose, wouldn’t more of us prefer to suffer the pain while drawing a paycheck? If we are fired, it is rough. Nothing makes it better. Well maybe, time, the support of family and a good plan can ease the pain. And if we have to be the bad guy, respect and sincerity are required – bad doesn’t have to be awful. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

We applaud Zionsville Town Council President Tim Haak’s recent decision to institute water-conservation measures through an emergency executive order. As a result, the town has the ability and authority to enforce provisions of the order, which we hope it will do. It now has become against the law for a water user - defined as any customer or other individual, firm, corporation, government, agency or other entity using water within the Town of Zionsville from the Citizens Water system - to “cause, permit, allow, do or engage in” any of the following actions: • Irrigating of grass. • Washing of mobile equipment, except as required by applicable local, state, or federal law for health or safety reasons. • Using water to clean sidewalks, driveways, paved areas, structures, buildings or other outdoor surfaces. • Filling empty swimming pools. • Installing new landscaping or new lawn by using sod until a return to normal conditions is declared by a subsequent executive order. • Using hydrants except for fire suppression or as otherwise directed by Citizens Energy Group. • Operating water fountains that are non-recycling. Nurseries, automatic car washes, manual car washes, golf courses, town parks property, users that own wells, vegetable and flower gardens and trees less than 5 years old are exempted from Haak’s order. Violations noted will result in escalating penalties from warnings to $2,500.

Three Ds Pub and Café combines coffee and breakfast with live music and evening drinks By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com After 18 years, Mickey’s Irish Pub closed its doors earlier this month.

of Soroptimist, a worldwide organization for woman, while living in Seattle prior to her move to Carmel. With Three Ds’, Heller is working with local advocacy group Prevail, Inc. “I want to be sure that people know that 10 percent of our coffee sales go to Prevail for domestic violence victims,” said Heller. Local bands will be performing live every Friday and Saturday in Three Ds’ sizeable back room. Throughout the week, the stage will also feature open mics, karaoke and even something Heller refers to as “open practice.” “If a local band wants to start to get their name out, they can practice on our stage on Monday nights, get some exposure and see how they would do with patrons in the area,” said Heller. “All they need to do is call and schedule a time with us.” Heller is planning on booking a variety of music on Three Ds’ stage beyond the normal rock outfits commonly seen performing across the Northside. “I’m hoping to get a big variety of music

I grew up on the punk scene so I’d like to get some of that in here as well.” With the restaurant and both bars now open and operational, the work is far from done but Heller is pleased to be busy. ““I thrive on stress,” said Heller. “The more things I have going on at one time, the more I tend to get done.”

IT'S GOLDEN Business turns medical ID bracelets into fashion statements By Matthew Williams • editorial@youarecurrent.com Sen. Dick Lugar casts 13,000th Senate vote – Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar (R) cast his 13,000th vote in the U.S. Senate Wednesday. Lugar is the longest serving U.S. Senator in Indiana history, and in 10th place on the all-time Senate voting list. Other members of that list include Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) who cast 15,236 votes, and Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-WV), who tops the list with 18,689. Lugar will retire from the Senate in January following his defeat in May’s primary election by Richard Mourdock. Local senior community holds caregiver relief contest – Clare Bridge of Carmel is holding an essay contest for caregivers as part of their Caregivers Relief Program. The winner will receive a two-week respite stay at the community for their family member or loved one. To nominate the caregiver and their loved one, tell their story in an essay not to exceed 1,000 words in length. To submit a story or to read the rules and qualifications, see the following website: www.brookdaleliving.com/carefelief. Nominations will be accepts through Sept. 30. For more information, contact Janice A. Pegues, executive director at Clare Bridge of Carmel, at 317-580-0389.

Shelly Fisher hopes to transform medical ID bracelets from unattractive necessities to fashionable accessories, and she’s targeting Hamilton County and Central Indiana to do it. Fishers’ business, Medical ID Marketplace, based in Philadelphia, offers those with chronic diseases or allergies a chic way to carry their medical information. Medical identication jewelry can be a life saver when worn during an emergency. However, many people don’t wear traditional bracelets to avoid being stigmatized. “People don’t need to wear their disease on their wrist,” said Fishers. “Our company recognized the importance and lifesaving value of medical bracelets. That’s why it was so important to create styles that people actually want to wear. Fisher created Medical ID Marketplace in 2003. The company sells a variety of unique designs to cater to a

wide array of consumers. The company also offers more traditional styles, as well as pendant and “dog tag” jewelry options. The company is working to expand its offerings to include medical identification products that can be displayed in the home or office. “We want to offer one stop shopping for identification,” say Fisher. Medical identification jewelry is recommended for anyone who suffers from conditions such as diabetes, asthma, blood disorders and heart disease. It is also recommended for those with severe drug, food or insect allergies. Medical bracelets offer critical information for emergency situations where a patient is incapacitated and unable to explain hiscondition. For now, displays can be seen and brochures obtained at Kroger stores in Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield and Fishers, and at other Kroger stores throughout Indiana. More information about the medical jewelry can be found online at www.medical-bracelet.com.

Scam artists targeting local seniors – Local senior care experts are urging families in North Indianapolis, Fishers and Carmel to be alert for scammers who may be targeting their senior loved ones with a variety of clever cons that could jeopardize not only their life savings but their independence. “Scam artists are specifically targeting seniors because they are the fastest-growing segment of the population, which has led to increased demands on law enforcement agencies,” said Jeff Sewell, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Indianapolis, serving North Indianapolis, Fishers and Carmel. As a result, the nonprofit National Association of Triads and the local Home Instead Senior Care office have launched a public information program called Protect Seniors from Fraud to educate families and seniors about how to protect themselves. Information about the program is available online at ProtectSeniorsFromFraud.com. To obtain a free Senior Fraud Protection Kit, contact Home Instead Senior Care at 317-252-4472.

Business Protecting yourself from your pet DOUGH

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Billy S. from Noblesville: I’ve got a big friendly dog, but I’ve always worried about what would happen if she bit someone. Am I protected if something like this happens? Response from Jamie Ianigro: We all love our pets. They make great family members, playmates and protectors, but they are always causing problems for insurance companies. Nearly two million people are bitten by dogs each year with around 800,000 of those folks requiring professional medical treatment for their wounds. Each of these incidents is a potential lawsuit and happened to unsuspecting pet owners just like us. Tens of millions of U.S. households own dogs and incidents show no sign of slowing down. A key factor that contributes to these incidents is the failure of dog owners to supervise and train their pets. Another problem is that many persons, especially children, do not know how to behave around dogs. The best part about this issue is that you’re already protected if you have a homeowner’s insurance policy. Just make sure you have adequate limits to protect you from financial damage if you have an incident like this. I recommend that everyone have a minimum liability limit of $1,000,000. Adding an extra million in coverage with an umbrella policy is also a good idea and doesn’t cost as much as you might imagine. Your liability limit is not just for pet attacks

either. It protects you from many unfortunate incidents like when a guest slips and falls in your driveway or when your kid accidently drives the lawn mower into the neighbor’s new Mercedes. Make sure you read your policy or go over it with your independent insurance agent to see what is excluded. When you own a pet you have a responsibility to raise and handle your pet in a manner that reduces the chance of an incident. Steps to take include researching your breed and general principles of ownership and care. You should always make certain that family members, neighbors, guests and strangers are protected from your pet. You should check out the resources available to help, such as tips from animal shelters, dog ownership clubs, the American Kennel Club and, of course, the internet. It may not be the fairest set of circumstances, but many insurers are choosing not to give dogs or their owners a fair chance. It is becoming more common for companies to refuse to write coverage for persons who own certain breeds of dogs. The breeds commonly excluded include Chows, Pit Bulls, Akitas, Rottweilers and Sharpeis. Therefore, you must fight this trend by not taking owning a pet lightly. Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to asktheadvisor@shepherdins.com.

Master bath value has right combination Commentary by David Decker Just about every home is some combination of personal sanctuary and social gathering point. And just about every custom home improvement project is some combination of necessary function and enhanced livability. Value engineering helps to ensure that all those project and lifestyle tumblers fall neatly into place and properly click when making a real-life decision to undertake a master bathroom custom improvement project. More and more, the master bathroom has become something far beyond a “necessary” room and lavatory meant only to help launch us out into the busy-ness of the day. Master bathrooms have become part spa, oasis, and sanctuary shielding us from the hectic demands of life. Swirling tubs, steam baths, multi-head showers, walled off toilet compartments, spacious lounge areas with beautiful design and soothing colors make the most modern of master bathrooms a place to stay not just a place to, well, go. Often a homeowner will sort through the priorities of whether to upgrade the kitchen or the master bathroom. Obviously there can be exceptions but master bath projects tend to be far less costly than kitchen projects of similar scope. If cooking and entertaining are high priorities, the home improvement project budget A S C O C H O K T E R R N A A B C P R O P R O B E N B O A E R R G E M H I C L O D H A L O A B E L

should be concentrated there. If personal space and comfort are the goals, then the investment can lean toward a wonderful master bathroom. Value engineering a home improvement starts with talking and proceeds through planning, budgeting, purchasing, and execution. A project that begins properly with clear, goal-defining communication has a good chance at success. This is one of the critical reasons to engage a home improvement professional. His or her experience, knowledge and skill combine to unlock the mystery of knowing how and to what extent a complex set of project goals can be achieved. Whether the goal is for sanctuary, comfort, or even medical necessity, a successful master bathroom improvement will be a combination of great ideas, great communication, and great value.
