Complied by Sophie Pappas

What it means: Robison said he is interested in exploring something that other nearby schools, such as Noblesville schools, are in the process of doing. For example, in Noblesville, there are talks that high school and middle school students will begin school at 8:45 a.m. starting in the fall of 2015.
What happened: Robison told the board that all school are on high alert for the viral infection enterovirus that is spreading across Indiana schools. What it means: School nurses have not seen any cases of enterovirus. One elementary school has seen an outbreak of a basic virus, but this was confirmed to not be the enterovirus.
What’s next: School nurses will report to the office of the superintendent if and when they see any possible cases of enterovirus.
What happened: It was announced that Count Day would be on Sept. 12. What it means: This is the day that school administrator Bob Bostwick records official accounts of how many students are enrolled in Zionsville schools. These numbers will help school administrators decided how well the schools are meeting growth needs.
What’s next: Bostwick will update the board of his findings from Sept. 12 at the October school board meeting.

Schools save $13.1 million
By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community Schools Supt. Scott Robison along with Chief Financial Officer Mike Shafer announced at the education Sept. 8 school board meeting that the schools have saved more than $13.1 million through bond refinancing this year. “This is some unbelievably outstanding news,” Robison said. “Strategic planning we began in 2006 planned this refunding and avoided new construction debt for nine years. This set up the work by an impressive team of Board of Trustees, financial, and legal experts.” ZCS debt for construction grew significantly during very rapid enrollment growth in the late 1990s and early 2000s. “Board members serving back then had to build to accommodate new students.” Robison said. “Though growth has continued, the pace has been slower than before. We have utilized the 2005 series bonds very carefully to increase capacity and forestall new construction debt for as long as possible.” Shafer worked with district controller Becki Edlin, CPA, and two accountants serving on the school board, Shari Richey and Joe Stein, to assemble a financial and legal team that worked toward the refunding results for more than a year. “This is indeed exciting,” Shafer said. “The
bonds that were refinanced were initially from 2005. We were very fortunate in achieving what might be considered the exact opposite of the perfect storm. It might be deemed a good weather day.” What $13.1 million saved really means for Zionsville residents is that over the next several years there will be a lower tax rate for the taxpayers. The district capitalized on exceptional bond rates and other favorable market conditions to accelerate and optimize this refinancing. Shafer said that ZCS is “very far away from having solid numbers… but we are hopeful that this will make a tangible difference for us.” For 2015 debt service rate will be between five and seven cents lower. In 2016, this will be nine to 11 cents off the tax rate. “So we are very pleased with this,” Shafer said. “This is a direct reduction in the tax rate for the school corporation.” Consultants from KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. spoke at the meeting. Thomas Coverick addressed the board and said: “We’re going to talk a little bit about saving,” noting that the $13.1 million is actually “an impressive $14.595 million in gross savings.” School Board President Jim Longest was pleased with the results and said: “Fiscal stewardship has been well served once again by board members and professional staff who planned well and implemented flawlessly.”

Christine Bierman has longed dreamed of playing varsity soccer for Zionsville High School. It took suffering though six schools knee surgeries, but it finally happened for her this fall. “It’s been kind of an emotional roller coaster,” the senior said. “It’s made me who I am today. It’s not the prettiest of all things to talk about. It has made me stronger and really showed me the true value of life. Being back on the field is something that I can’t even put into words. It shows what I’ve worked through is really paying off.” Bierman, a forward, was named the offensive player of the year for the junior varsity squad as a freshman. Then in December of 2011, she tore the ACL in her left knee. She had a staph infection and had two more surgeries and then one more surgery to take out the staple. Bierman tore the same left ACL in the first scrimmage of her sophomore season in August 2012. Then playing in a preseason showcase for her club team in July 2013, Bierman tore the ACL in her right knee and wasn’t able to play again until this high school season. “She’s been through three consecutive years of physical therapy,” her mother Sandi Bierman said. “Here’s a girl who all she wants to do is play soccer. She wears a brace. She hates it but that’s the only way she can play the game she
Christine Bierman (Submitted photo) loves.” Bierman, whose goal is still to play college soccer, said playing again makes all the pain worthwhile. “It’s worth the tears and the emotional breakdowns and all the sacrifices I made for this sport,” she said. “I couldn’t have done it without all the people in my life whether it be my friends, all my family, doctor, physical therapist and coaches.” Zionsville girls soccer coach Ramon Aguillon said he appreciates what Bierman has gone through to rehab and play. “To be able to come back not only once, twice but three times from a major surgery shows the determination she has and how much love of the game she really has,” Aguillor said. For us to be able to finally have her on the field is a tremendous experience.”
ritt and Linda had enjoyed a few years of retirement in Zionsville, but when they called Jennifer, they’d come to the conclusion that The Lone Star State was calling them home. They had a mutual friend in town, and he’d apparently told them Jennifer was the only call they needed to make. He was right, but they called every other broker in town too, and soon had a parade of opinions muddying reality on how best to prepare and price their home. Jennifer helped them see through the hype and wishful thinking with facts, statistics and a true Market Absorption Analysis that won her the listing at the right price to sell the home. The marketing wasn’t easy on this one. It was no run-of-the-mill property and would take just the right buyer. Soooooooo many scheduled showings nearly wore the owners out. Two weeks before they got the offer that closed the deal, they were ready to give up. But that sale closed without a hitch, and Jennifer was reminded again to never, never give up. When you’re looking for the perfect ending to your own housing saga, trust Jennifer to write it for you!

The sweetest way to explore
By Devynn Barnes • news@currentzionsville.com On Oct. 4, downtown Zionsville will resemble less of a quaint shopping district and more of a real-life Candy Land. HANDS in philanthropy Autism will be hosting the first-ever Treat Trail, and many delicious local shops plan on participating. The start of the trail begins at check-in at A Space to Create on Cedar St. After that, participants are free to roam through shops like Earth Explorer Toys, Inga’s Popcorn, Boutique 33, Darrin’s Coffee Company and more. Treats from different bakeries and restaurants can be enjoyed at each shop along the way, including confectionaries from Vanilla Bean Bakery or pizza from Greek’s Pizzeria. Each shop offers a different treat, and after purchasing a ticket for only $25, participants are invited to try them all. Organizer of the Treat Trail and Special Education Specialist with HANDS, Megan Stevenson, said a colleague got the idea for the Trail based on a similar concept done in Brown County. When they decided to start planning their own version all they needed was a place, and Zionsville was the perfect spot. “We thought of Zionsville because we know that not many towns have little shops that are walkable. There’s not a lot like
that other than Brown County,” Stevenson said. “Our group used to go eat at Serenity (on Main St.)... We thought, ‘Zionsville would be a good spot for this.’” The money raised will go directly towards providing scholarships to kids with autism to attend programming put on by HANDS, which is an extension of the Christian Sarkine Autism Treatment Center at Riley Hospital at IU Health and the IU School of Medicine. HANDS provides numerous services to help kids with autism, especially after leaving the treatment center. “Instead of people just coming here to the hospital and leaving, and there being no resources and support going out into schools, we try to bridge that gap. We go out into schools… supporting teachers, and other school personnel, and these kids in their school environment,” Stevenson said. The Treat Trail will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Anyone can attend during that time, and tickets can be purchased beforehand at http://donate.rileykids. org/site/Calendar?id=100761&view =Detail. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to make your own trip through the Gumdrop Mountains or Lollipop Woods, come out and experience Zionsville’s very own version of Candy Land Oct. 4.

Matt Habecker fits Mike Black for his prosthetic inside Indiana Institute for Prosthetics. (Photos by James Feichtner)
How one local business is helping war vets and amputees live normal lives By James Feichtner • news@currentzionsville.com For many individuals with prosthetic limbs, continuing to carry out normal day-to-day activities can be challenging. This was the case for Indiana resident and young Army veteran Mike Black, who lost his left leg in 2008 after a landmine excover story ploded during a tour in the Middle East. Black is currently using a prosthetic leg and is no stranger to the difficulties that come with it. “It’s been rough. There’s been up times and there’s obviously been down times. It’s hard to really want to get motivated and to do much; walking through pain and trying to run,” Black said. With Black being someone who enjoys an active lifestyle, he misses the ability to get up and go, especially when it comes to running. “I’m a really active person so I really don’t like to be off my feet, per se,” he said. But thanks to the efforts of local prosthetic craftsman Matthew Habecker, Black’s days of running are close at hand. Habecker has designed a custom prosthetic foot for Black that is specifically meant for running, allowing him to get back to his active lifestyle. “It’s a new version of a running foot that has two different carbon fiber leaf springs that can allow for a little bit more energy return and release. Certain carbon fiber feet are constructed in a way for the best bio-mechanic properties. It replicates as best as possible the foot that he [Black] has lost,” Habecker said. With the final touches being made for a truly custom fit, Black is thrilled that he will be able to continue running.
“I haven’t been able to run for about six months now. I’m really looking forward to running. Running is one of those things I really enjoy and I kind of miss that,” Black said. It wasn’t just the running limb that brought Habecker and Black together. Habecker has been treating Black for several years now. Since their time working with one another, Black’s way of life has improved tremendously. “One of the biggest things that helped me was coming to Matt. All my prosthetics previous to coming to Matt didn’t feel comfortable at all. And that’s one of the biggest things is feeling comfortable all day long. Being able to wear it as long as possible,” Black said. Habecker, who is the Clinical Director of the Indiana Institute for Prosthetics at Zionsville Medical Center, deals with variety of jobs in the field. From bionic arms to prosthetic limbs, IIP provides customs solutions for patients all over Indiana. “This clinic has really turned into a boutique clinic. We see the hard to fit cases from around the state. Every prosthesis is customized,” Habecker said Habecker said he enjoys his work as well. He said being able to help improve the lives of his patients is gratifying. “I think being able to literally walk alongside somebody [with a prosthesis] and really, in this part of their life, helping them to find the good in the situation, but then also to be involved with restoring a part of them that was lost and getting them back to enjoying life is a pretty profound reward in and of itself. It’s a joy and a privilege, really an honor to help patients in this way,” Habecker said.

Need a break from mom duties
Tossing icy blanket on ALS challenge
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Water weighs slightly more than eight pounds per gallon. Ice is hard and pointy. As the ice-bucket challenges in support of ALS continue, an interesting insurance point emerges. Current contributor Karl Ahlrichs of Gregory & Appel Insurance reminds us that liability insurance may not cover the ice-bucket dropee (if that’s the proper term) if there are damages and medical bills as a result of the fundraising stunt. It all started innocently enough, with small buckets and big laughs for a good cause. Millions of dollars have been raised, and the take is well more than any annual ALS campaign before it. Still, the “oneupmanship” took over, and the bucket became larger, colder, and potentially more dangerous. Front-end loaders, 100-gallon barrels, airplane drops, etc., all were in the mix. Ahlrichs tells us liability insurance is intended to protect you from unknowingly causing harm, and as a willing participant you may be declined coverage by your insurance carrier when a claim is filed against you. There have been multiple hospitalizations and even more “fail videos” that are evidence that the trend of “bigger, colder and more spectacular” may not end as hoped. Our advice? Participate if you wish, but keep it small, manageable and safe. Or, remember, you always are free to donate to the charity of your choice at any time - with or without ice water. We did it that way. Much drier and far more comfortable that way. ••• We’re happy to welcome Mark Ambrogi to the Current Publishing family.

The long and winding road Commentary by Terry Anker Most times, the taxi driver simply ignores his patrons after the short negotiation of place and rate. Too often, once in the car the passenger can expect the driver to take a phone call and shout in some nearly indecipherable foreign tongue, confident in the expectation that the folks in the back seat are both incapable of understanding him and unworthy of his respect. We endure the rudeness, pay the fare and exit the cab never again to interact with this nameless being in whom we’d just entrusted our lives. Perhaps we’d glanced at the face on the license and amused ourselves by attempting to match the name with a country of origin. But is the failure to connect an expected, if not desired, part of the transaction? Have taxis, with thick glass and a rear-facing credit card machine, simply become a mobile ATM? Do we approach, run a card, get our desired outcome and still manage to avoid all human interaction?
Yet, is the alternative of an all-too-engaged service provider preferred? Do we hope to learn the family history of the person taking us to the airport? I tend to pick peace and quiet. He has a job to do and it does not include entertaining me. And, I value a moment to collect my thoughts and prepare for the next meeting. But what are we missing if we fail to connect with others who find their ways, by happenstance or intention, into our lives? What can we learn and what does it matter? If it is impossible to know what lies ahead, then it is equally impossible to prospectively assign value to those we encounter. It is a long and winding road that carries us through life; and it beyond human capacity to determine who might be our guide, or driver, along the way.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K The follies which a man most regrets in life are those which he didn’t commit when he had the opportunity.
– Helen Rowland
Sometimes I just don’t want to be needed. Maybe it’s this particular week or maybe it’s that I’m still adjusting to the school routine, but I am literally about to shiv humor the next person who asks for breakfast, a back rub, help with homework, or anything that involves me and/ or my superhuman, Jane-of-all-trades capabilities. Sometimes I just don’t want to be a mom! A large part of this feeling, akin to a juiced lemon that’s not trashed because its rind is a key ingredient in the icing, is the nature of being an educator. Teaching high school math means I’m basically a surrogate parent to 180 of our future leaders. It’s taxing to say the least, especially on tests days when 123 of them realize they have no idea what I’ve been talking about for the last week and they all decide to take advantage of the fact that I am available for help at seven a.m. I’m a good enough actress to proceed with patience, but on the inside, I’m questioning the world’s chance of survival when this lot’s in charge. (Kidding! You’re all brilliant!) So after a day of helping everyone else’s teenagers, I then go home to my own four who’ve been left to their own devices for at least an hour or so. My oldest daughter wants me to listen as she talks stream-of-conscience-like about her day and her emotions and the latest drama. My youngest wants help with spelling and laundry and checking her anole (lizard) for signs of life. My oldest just wants me to take him driving so he can practice his questionable round-about skills while listening to his music and then hopefully convince me to buy him Subway. And my middle son sits so quietly while he plays games on his phone that working-mom guilt compels me to invent tasks with which to help him. Argh! But I don’t really want to do any of these things. I want to go up to my room, close the door, and eat my oatmeal crème pie while vegging out on the latest Drunk History episode. I don’t want to plan dinner or run to the grocery or pick anyone up from [enter your sport here] practice. And I sure as shoot don’t want to play the good wife to my husband, who can often be needier than the kids! “Will you please rub my feet/grab my dry cleaning/watch Top Gear with me?” No! But of course I do. Because that’s what it means to be a spouse, mother, and/or teacher. We answer the call even when we don’t want to. And on that note, I shall leave you. Someone needs me! Peace out.

School always let out a week before Memorial Day weekend, and by the time Saturday rolled around, I had written my list plain talk of “must do” things for the summer. I was a kid, of course, so my priorities changed several times before I finished the list. By the time it was complete and I had hidden it behind the secret drawer in my desk to keep my pesky little sister from finding it, the page was covered with eraser marks and the dates and tally of each thing to do had changed at least once. Trips to Big Rock, our local swimming hole, stayed at the top of the list. I figured twice a week during June and July was about right, with a third trip added in to make up for missing out on the Fourth of July when our family got together with several others for an all-day picnic and fireworks after dark. We weren’t allowed to go swimming in August. That was Dog Days and people got sick. Another item at the top of the list was getting a job so I could buy my own supply of fireworks: Cherry bombs and three-inch firecrackers mostly, high explosives to satisfy a typical 12-year-old boy’s appetite for demolition. Mostly I mowed lawns, horsing cranky cast iron lawn mowers through ankle-deep grass for a few dollars a week. It was hard, sweaty work, and only the thought of blowing things up kept
me going. Bicycle rides with the guys were on the list too. I figured 50 of them including 10 nighttime sorties with only twinkling stars for company, and at least one five-mile trip to explore the cave at the edge of the Ritterbush farm that we had missed out on the previous summer. There were backyard games, too, the duskto-dark kind that ended only when moms called from the back door to come in for bed. I figured once a week for games. Not on the list was one special evening when me and another guy couldn’t find anything to do and we wound up sitting on the front porch sharing sacred thoughts we’d never told anyone before. The week before Labor Day I checked the list and found it wanting. Rainy days and tummy flu always short-circuited the schedule, and I underlined the few urgent things I deemed essential. Everything ended on Labor Day, of course, and Tuesday morning it was new clothes, stiff shoes and back to school. I still make a list of things to do during the summer. And it’s still only half done by Labor Day. Only now the kids have been back in school for weeks. And I haven’t blown anything up in years.

My Fair Lady: ‘The perfect musical’ By Joseph Knoop • news@currentzionsville..com
Actors Theatre of Indiana is gearing up for their upcoming production of “My Fair Lady.” The show kicks off the ATI’s 10th antheatre niversary season of Broadway In Your Backyard . Cynthia Collins, co-founder and assistant artistic Director of Actors Theatre of Indiana, plays the role of Mrs. Pearce and Mrs. Eynsford-Hill. “It’s possibly, in my opinion, the perfect musical,” Collins said. My Fair Lady tells the story Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl taking lessons from phoneticist Henry Higgins in order to appear sophisticated. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion,” “My Fair Lady” originally premiered in 1956 on Broadway. Actors Theatre of Indiana is performing the show with a minimal cast of 10 actors, rather than the 30 to 40 typically attributed to large musicals like “My Fair Lady.” Director Richard J Roberts said this will put the show right into the audience’s lap. “It’s a very intimate production,” Roberts said. “It’s the ‘Hamlet’ of musicals.”
The Sept. 21 performance will feature a Talkback immediately following moderated by Indy Star writer Michael Anthony Adams, featuring director, Richard J Roberts, the cast and actress and author Patricia Wilson. Wilson has previously acted in the Tony Award-winning “Fiorello!,” “Take Me Along” with Gene Kelly and “A League of Their Own.” Although Wilson is not involved in the production of “My Fair Lady,” she will be answering questions about the world of theatre, including her 2009 book “Yesterday’s Mashed Potatoes: The Fabulous Life of a Happy Has-Been.” Roberts has experience conducting theater talkbacks for a number of years and enjoys the opportunity to showcase how a production like his comes together. “Even Broadway shows are starting to do them,” Roberts said. “I think people are curious. People want to know how things are done. All kinds of shows on TV show how things are made. It’s fascinating. People think the arts are a foreign, distant world. We’re just people doing stuff.” “My Fair Lady” runs Sept. 17 through 21 and next week from Sept. 24-28. For more informa-

WWII vets recognized at St. Al’s
By Ward Degler • news@currentzionsville.com The sixth annual World War II Veterans Banquet will be held Sept. 20 in the parish hall at St. Alphonsus Liguori Catholic Church, according to Jim Weaver, who has celebration helped organize the event. “We are down to 30 veterans this year,” said Weaver, a Zionsvile resident. “Last year we had 35.” World War II veterans, now in their 80s and 90s, are dying at an ever increasing rate, reportedly between 500 and 700 every day. The banquet began as a Valentine’s Day dance, Weaver said. Later it included a fly-in of military aircraft sponsored by the Commemorative Air Force at Executive Airport. It has been held at St. Alphonsus for the past three years. “We do this for three reasons,” Weaver said.
“We want to recognize these men and women for their service. We want to express our gratitude to them. And, we hope to engender a spirit of patriotism in the community.” Speaker for the event is Rev. Denis Robinson, president and rector of St. Meinrad Seminary in southern Indiana. Robinson will talk about how the Nazi Holocaust in Europe changed our world. An estimated 11 million people were killed in concentration camps between 1939 and 1945. That number included more than 6 million Jews, but also included a large number of Catholics and other non-Jews who opposed Hitler’s regime. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. There is no cost to attend, but reservations are required. Call 8732231 for reservations. “Everyone is welcome,” Weaver added, “and we have room for more veterans.”
DISPATCHES Lunch and Laughs – Boone County Senior Services presents Lunch and Laughs from noon to 1 p.m. Sept. 25 in Zionsville Town Hall Community Room.

Beginning Oct. 11, the Carmel Symphony Orchestra will begin its 39th concert season. This season, guests of the symMusic phony can look forward to performances from pianist Sean Chen, the Anderson University Choruses, the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, and many more. Led by the acclaimed artistic director and conductor David Bowden, everything from classical masterpieces and familiar pops works will echo through the corridors of Carmel’s Palladium. “We are delighted to present such a variety of performers and musical styles,” Bowden said. “The significant partnerships with regional organizations and the flair and sparkle of world-class guest artists make this an extraordinary season of music from the heart and for the soul.” The season begins with APA Classical Fellow and Van Cliburn medalist Sean Chen in Grieg Piano Concerto with Sean Chen on Oct. 11. The artistry of Chen will be on full display in a performance of Grieg’s familiar Piano Concerto. Tchaikovsky’s powerful Symphony No. 4 combines deep emotion, beautiful melodies, and orchestral virtuosity with a thrilling conclusion. “It will be remarkable,” Bowden said. “It will be beyond incredible.” The Nov. 8 concert, Beethoven’s Fifth, features the composer’s much-loved symphony that be-
gins with arguably the most famous four notes in the entire symphonic repertoire. The orchestra is joined by the Anderson University Choruses for Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living, a profoundly moving expression of solace, hope, and ultimately, peace, conveying great comfort for all who have experienced loss, which Bowden said has already had a very emotional impact on him. Beethoven’s Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus opens this compelling program. To read a full listing of the season’s lineup, visit www.currentincarmel.com. Season subscriptions are available by calling the Carmel Symphony at 844-9717. Single tickets can be purchased beginning by visiting TheCenterPresents.org or by calling the Center’s Box Office at 843-3800.

Gee’s music fest set for Sept. 20
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Jon E. Gee has been fortunate enough to work with several top performers including, John Mellencamp, Ted Nugent and music Rare Earth. To help give back, Gee, who owns Jon E. Gee’s Music Room, runs Jon E. Gee’s Autumn Music Fest, which will be held for the second time on Sept. 20 at the parking lot of his business, 13295 Illinois St., Carmel. The festival supports Jon E. Gee’s Gift of Music Foundation. Sondra Gunnell, Jon’s wife and also known as Mrs. Gee, said helping support school music programs, which have faced cutbacks in recent years, is the main focus of the foundation. “We also support other music charities as well as we give scholarship monies to students of all ages to get music lessons,” Gunnell said. “Those are the primary things we do with the Gift of Music.” The Music Fest features 10 groups or acts. All are students or proteges of Gee. “Each one of these acts want to be at the next level and we are basically helping them get there,” Gunnell said. “Three of them have their own CDs that John E. Gee has helped them produce, promote and advise on in some fashion or shape.” The Music Fest will begin at 2 p.m. and conclude at 10 p.m.
Ten acts will perform at music fest. (Submitted photo)
The four headliners are Aaron Creek, Infamous, J.J. Browning Project and Awake The Wilde. “Jon E. has shown them all how to perform on the big stage, sharing his expertise,” Gunnell said. There will be food trucks, arts and crafts vendors and a silent auction. The auction includes signed electric guitars from Mellencamp and Nugent. “There will be no alcohol, it’s a family friendly event,” Gunnell said. “People can bring lawn chairs and blankets.” General admission tickets are free but donations are accepted. VIP donation tickets are available on the website, www.jonegeesmusicroom.com

A SEPTEMBER NOT TO MISS! The Ten Commandments of tailgating Tailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley
Two-time Tony Award winner CHITA RIVERA
30-minute to one-hour short rest in the tailgate lot will allow even the most congested lots to clear and the highway traffic to resume normal speeds. When you pack up to go into the game, always think about your postgame tailgate. Leave enough chairs and easy-to-serve foods accessible so that they can be easily set up and enjoyed before the trek home. Our surveys have found that the average tailgater in America drives 71 miles one way to the game. So why not kick back, have a snack and visit? Here’s another warm-weather menu item that everyone loves. BLT Pasta Salad Ingredients: 14 oz. bag Pasta, 5 large tomatoes, finely chopped, 1 large green pepper, finely chopped, 1 lb. bacon (+ some), crumbled (precooked works great), 3/4 cup real or light mayonnaise, 1 t. salt (or to taste) Directions: Cook pasta in gently boiling water for approximately 6 minutes, until tender but firm. Drain and rinse with cold water. For tailgating, make pasta the night before. Toss cooked pasta lightly with olive oil, and store all veggies separately. Add veggies and bacon just before serving to maintain crispness. Serves 6-8.

(Here are the last five of the Ten Commandments.) VI. Thou shall not drink (alcohol) too much Our website (Tailgatershandbook.com) has a section displaying how much you can drink and stay legal to drive. That blood alcohol count below .08 doesn’t always guarantee that you will be a good host or companion when you drink more than you should. Remember, no matter what you have heard, nobody likes a drunk! VII. Thou shall continually upgrade your gear It’s your duty to search for that item which will improve your tailgate party. This item or items can be anything that will make tailgating easier, faster, safer, warmer, prettier, less expensive etc. Review last year’s tailgating experiences and list the things that weren’t just right. Chances are that somebody has experienced your same problem and has invented or discovered an improvement. VIII. Thou shall prepare for emergencies Like a Boy Scout/Girl Scout – be prepared. There are many tailgate parties where emergencies arise. Have a first aid kit in case somebody gets cut or burned. Other more common emergencies are for dilemmas like no propane with which to cook, or no corkscrew to open the wine, or even no matches to light a fire. It is wise to carry a tackle box that has a bevy of things like duct tape, bungee cords, corkscrew, all-in-one pliers tool with all the attachments of a Swiss Army knife, packets of salt and pepper, a bottle opener, a can opener, and as many other items that you can think up. IX. Thou shall practice food safety Ecoli and Salmonella are dangerous and should be avoided by practicing good food safety. Remember to keep hot things hot and cold things cold. X. Thou shall tailgate after the game (or wait for the traffic to clear) After a game is no time to join the bumper-tobumper traffic for a grueling drive home. Just a

Ocean Prime: Steaks, seafood and more By Julie Osborne and Debbie Robertson news@currentinwestfield.com At Ocean Prime, it begins with its motto, “The answer is ‘Yes’, now what’s your question?” The staff takes the word service seridining ously starting in the kitchen with Executive Chef Shawn O’Brien. O’Brien believes in leading by example, working side by side with his team, even doing the dirty work and often being the last to leave after a 12-hour shift. O’Brien’s love for food and cooking began as a child helping his mother and grandmother prepare potluck dishes for church pitch-ins. His future career as an executive chef was nearly hijacked by an accounting degree, however, his desire to prepare food outweighed his desire to prepare balance sheets. Soon after his enrollment at Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, he began working at Mitchell’s Fish Market in Pittsburgh and later in the Cameron Mitchell family of restaurants in Columbus, Phoenix, and Orlando before being named executive chef of Ocean Prime Indianapolis with its opening in June 2012. Chef’s Tip: “Fresh and from scratch” is what O’Brien believes is key to the best outcome. There’s no substitute for utilizing the highest quality ingredients which is why, along with everything being made in-house, he insists on farm-fresh products and USDA Prime cuts. “We not only fly our seafood in daily but it’s the ‘top

of the catch’ so it’s the freshest of the day,” O’Brien said. Chef’s Recommendations: Lobster Bisque served with a sweet corn fritter along with the Ahi Tuna Tartare to start. For the main course, either the Filet Mignon or Alaska Halibut prepared with lobster, gnocchi, spring peas and lemon jus. “You can cut our tenderloins with a fork. There’s no need for a knife,” O’Brien said. Top it off with 10 Layer Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing and pineapple syrup.

A new dessert with Colombian flair
This week my family was craving for something sweet to eat, but, it needed to be easy and quick to make. Looking in our kitchen we found THREE ingredients: shredded coconut, eggs and brown sugar; perfect for Cocadas! These little delights are very popular in Latin America and are a relative of the Macaroon cookies. This kid-friendly baking recipe will bring out smiles and will be a favorite treat in your family as its in ours. Note: Cocadas is a great recipe for school bake sale since it doesn’t require sophisticated baking. COCADAS Prep: 10 minutes / Cook: 15 minutes - Serves: 24 cookies Ingredients: • 2 cups shredded dried unsweetened coconut • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 2 large egg whites
Saturday, October 4th 6:30PM - MIDNIGHT (RAIN OR SHINE)

• 1 teaspoon cardamon (optional) • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (optional) Directions: 1. Heat the oven to 350F. Put the coconut in a bowl, cover with boiling water and steep for 10 minutes. Drain, cool, and squeeze dry. 2. In a big bowl put the coconut, sugar, salt and cardamon, mix well. In another bowl beat the eggs until just frothy, then add to
the mixture and combine well. 3. Using a spoon form balls about 1 1/2-inch and place on parchment lined baking sheet, leaving one-inch space between them. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden. Let them cool. Store in airtight container for up to one week.

Retirement myths exposed
Commentary by Adam Cmeijla
“When I’m retired, I won’t really have to invest anymore.” Many people see retirement as finance an end instead of a beginning – a finish line for a career. In reality, retirement can be the start of a new and promising phase of life that could last a few decades. If you stop investing entirely, you can risk losing purchasing power; even moderate inflation can devalue the dollars you’ve saved. “My taxes will be lower when I retire.” You may earn less, and that could put you in a lower tax bracket. On the other hand, you may end up waving goodbye to some of the deductions and exemptions you enjoyed while working, and if you did a good job on saving the IRS may require you to take more out of your retirement accounts starting at age 70.5, thus
increasing your taxable income. So while your earned income may decrease, you may end up losing a comparatively larger percentage of it to taxes after you retire. “I started saving too late, I have no hope of retiring – I’ll have to work until I’m 85.” If your nest egg is less than six figures, working longer may be the best thing you can do. You will have X fewer years of retirement to plan for, so you can keep earning a salary, and your savings can compound longer. Don’t lose hope: remember that you can make larger, catch-up contributions to IRAs after 50. Adam Cmejla is president of Integrated Planning and Wealth Management, a financial services firm in Carmel providing comprehensive retirement planning strategies to individuals near or in retirement. He can be reached at 853-6777 or adam@integratedpwm.com.

Foundation reaches agreement over Hilton news@currentzionsville.com One of the most visible sites along the I-69 corridor will soon change. The Community Health Network Foundation owns real estate an 8.9-acre parcel of land on the corner of 82nd Street and Shadeland Avenue that is currently the leased site of the Hilton Indianapolis North. The foundation has exercised its right of first refusal to purchase the hotel from the current Hilton franchisee, and Community Health Network will reclaim the valuable land for future use by Community’s North Region. A management
company will be hired to operate the hotel in the interim period, with closure expected to occur by the end of 2014. A team of leaders from Community’s North Region will begin planning for how the 8.9 acres will be redeveloped to meet the future needs of physicians and patients. “The opportunity for the foundation to purchase the Hilton came at a perfect time,” said Joyce Irwin, president of the Community Health Network Foundation. The former Community Hospitals of Indiana, Inc. originally purchased substantial acreage in this Castleton corridor in 1981.

five things america buys less Cereal This year, cereal sales are down seven percent, with Kellogg’s cereal sales down 10 percent. One Wall Street Journal report noted this could be because consumers are more apt nowadays to turn to yogurt or fast food in the morning, and they’re less likely to have time to eat breakfast at home at all, not even if it’s a simple bowl of cereal. Soda The crash of soda. diet soda in particular, has been years in the making, with consumers increasingly turning to energy drinks, flavored water and other beverages instead of the old carbonated caffeine drink of choice. The latest Wall Street report from Coca-Cola showed that the soda giant missed estimates, partly because sales of Diet Coke in North America fell in the “mid-single digits.” Gum Likely due to heightened competition from mints and candies, chewing gum sales have dipped 11 percent over the past four years, the Associated
Press reported. The editorial board of the News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., for one, weighed in that it is wonderful that gum sales are down in the gutter, sniffing, “Gum-chewing doesn’t do us any favors, making us look like cows chewing our cud. For humans, that’s not a good look.” Cupcakes Well, it looks like many of us at least have stopped buying the pricey “gourmet” variety of cupcakes. That’s the conclusion to be drawn with the collapse of Crumbs, the 65-store chain that shut down abruptly in early July. The news was widely interpreted as a sign that the gourmet cupcake trend is officially dead. Chef Boyardee ConAgra recently issued a warning to Wall Street that its consumer food volume experienced a seven percent decline, and that it faced “continued profit challenges” due to some of its flagging, tired products, in particular, Chef Boyardee, the 86-yearold canned pasta brand.

If you are like me, you have started spending the weekends at your kid’s sporting events. Our 9-year-old son and 6-year-old nutrition daughter are both playing soccer through S.P.O.R.T.S here in Fishers and opening day was one of the hottest days we have had all summer. As team parent for my daughter’s first grade soccer team I helped organize snacks for our team. As I did this I started to think about all of the snacks my kids have received after their games. In past years I have seen doughnuts, cookies, chips, candy and other high sugar snacks given out after games. These types of foods are OK sometimes but refueling our kids after a long game is not the place. Obviously I am all for kids participating in sports but the types of food we feed them before and after are important. So what is a good nutritional snack prior to that soccer or football game? Give your kids something with carbohydrates 1-2 hours before their sporting event. Try cereals, yogurts, whole wheat crackers or pretzels. If your child needs something mid game, fruit will help rehydrate
them as well as give them some much needed energy. For those post-game snacks, aim for something that provides protein along with carbohydrates to restore their energy supply and get them ready for whatever comes next in their day. Some ideas for good refueling snacks are fruit, cheese sticks, trail mix, or whole wheat crackers with peanut butter. For something different like sweet potato chips or healthier granola bars, try visiting Good Earth at Hamilton Town Center for some healthier options. As a parent of children with food allergies, you want to always check with other team parents to make sure that you are providing something all the kids can eat safely. One last thing, the best rehydrating drink for kids playing a 60 minute or less sport is water. Milk or even chocolate milk make a great post game drink too. Kathleen M.

Better health through better habits Commentary by Adam Timm Everyone is a creature of habit. Good or bad, our minds associate actions with an outcome or feeling. This is the basis for our fitness habits and sometimes our habits are so deeply rooted in our minds that we do not even realize what we are doing, but go through the day on autopilot. Habits can be used to your advantage by creating routines that foster a healthy lifestyle. Some examples include quitting smoking, eating more vegetables and exercising on a regular basis. We must first decide what habits we want to change or create and then determine how we are going to make that change. Successful change relies on simplicity, planning and consistency. Start with making small and simple commitments and sticking to those commitments for at least 30 days. For example, start a new nutrition habit of eating a big salad for lunch each day. Plan your lunch the evening before and pack a salad to grab in the morning. You can add other items for lunch, but make sure you eat a salad each day. Creating this routine
of packing lunch the night before will not only provide more nutritious food for lunch the following day, but it will also reduce stress as you get ready to leave the house in the morning. Having an accountability partner can help with the success of changing your habits. Let someone know of your intentions to change and what plan you will take to make that change. Ask that person to hold you to your commitment. Use the power of habits to improve your lifestyle. Start thinking of how you can continue an exercise program as the weather gets colder this fall. Many people stop being active when they cannot step outside into comfortable weather. Enjoy the process to create a healthier lifestyle. At Concept 7 Fitness we focus on seven lifestyle principles to create healthy habits. Visit us at www.concept7fitness.com to get more information on our 7 Lifestyle Principles.

I remember my first time to Asia and being really curious about seeing people squat. Groups of friends could be seen on the mat squatting on street corners in China just chatting away. A woman in the Hong Kong airport surprised me as she squatted and cooked a meal on the floor. Since the early 1980s I have had this awareness while traveling around the world where squatting often takes the place of sitting or standing. Most Westerns do not use this squatting position at all except when encountering a toilet situation in a third-world country. It is fun to watch little children play and see them often in a natural squat position. When do we lose the ability and desire to squat? The role of squat is vast. Done properly and consistently, the most noticeable benefits include: • Keeps your pelvic and hip joints healthy • Stretches your ankles, lower hamstrings, back and neck • Tones your abdominals • Aids in digestion • Strengthens your metabolism • Ideal for prenatal yoga It’s easy. Stand with your feet parallel and slightly wider than your hips. As a yoga teacher, I tell my students to keep their heels on the mat and place the toes off the mat. Place your hands in prayer position at your heart. Bend your knees and lower your seat toward the floor. Keep going until your hips are lower than your knees, and keep your spine vertical. If your heels come off the floor, take your feet farther apart or place a rolled-up blanket under them for support. Straighten your spine and relax your shoulders.

As a fairly recent college graduate, I find myself constantly searching for and craving further structured education. The proopinion cess of learning and improving on a day-to-day basis was enough to propel me through university despite the ever-increasing tuition price tag. And for those interested in pursuing higher education, many high school graduates and other adults have to forego collegiate-level learning because of the expense. There are, however, numerous options to pursue higher learning outside academia and within your wallet’s comfort zone. Trade School Indianapolis, which offers classes in virtually anything you could imagine, is one such example of a local, affordable opportunity. Since the Indianapolis branch’s inception in 2012, members of our communities have gathered around the downtown area to teach a wide array of classes – from the basics of knitting and cooking to more advanced and specialized topics like small-business branding and marketing. Since the classes are taught by people from our communities, the subjects are (quite literally) up to you! And the cost isn’t what you might expect. Instead of paying with an arm and a leg (or, you know, money), those who sign up for classes are asked by the instructor to bring in something
for barter. Items for barter are entirely up to the instructor of the class, so it often varies. Trade School Indianapolis actually gets two birds with one stone – engaged citizens have a forum to share their knowledge or skill sets, while those searching for extracurricular learning opportunities have a unique array of classes from which to choose. Opportunities such as these are rare and underappreciated in our busy schedules. Most days it can seem like we’re rushing from errand to errand and multitasking in between – none of which does the body or mind any long-term good. If you’ve been wanting to learn something new for a while, I challenge you to attend a class or two. Or, on the other hand, if you’re a skilled expert at one of your passions, volunteer your time and share it with others who may also be interested! You never know just what will come from the simple yet ancient art of passing wisdom on from one generation to the next.

The Parisian Arch of Progress Commentary by Don Knebel
Strolling along the wide sidewalks of Avenue Champs-Élysées, visitors to Paris can enjoy the architectural charms of a city travel that seems to have avoided the sterile high rises of other major cities. Paris has not avoided those buildings, but instead has consigned them to a unique area anchored by a precisely located arch. The Champs-Élysées follows the “Historic Axis” or “Triumphal Way,” an imaginary line passing through the Louvre¸ the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. After World War II, Parisian city planners decided to try to preserve the traditional appearance along the Historic Axis by encouraging new construction in La Défense, a five square mile area several kilometers northwest of the Arc de Triomphe. When the Tour Montparnasse, a 59-story skyscraper now deemed the second ugliest building in the world, was completed in the Left Bank area in 1973, Parisians were so incensed they passed a law requiring that buildings taller than seven stories be limited to La Défense, named for a statue honoring French soldiers. Restricting tall buildings to La Défense did not solve the problem to the satisfaction of all
Parisians. The incongruous collection of glass and steel buildings could still be seen from atop the Arc de Triomphe. The solution involved building a massive Grand Arche at the center of La Défense, positioned on the Historic Axis and connoting continuity with Parisian history. The Grande Arche was also situated on the imaginary axis that runs through the Eiffel Tower from the infamous Tour Montparnasse. The Grande Arche, which is actually an office building, is 361 feet tall, 348 feet wide and 364 deep and includes an opening said to be large enough to accommodate Notre Dame Cathedral. La Défense, once home to small restaurants and artists’ studios, has become one of the most important business centers in the world. More than 70 modern buildings, up to 50 stories high, house 1500 corporate headquarters, including those of 15 of the world’s 50 largest companies. Each year, about eight million tourists come to La Défense. The 60 million other visitors to Paris can pretend it doesn’t exist.

“The first rule of decoration is that you can break almost all the other rules.” – Billy Baldwin Excuse me Billy but it dedecorating pends which rules you want to break! If you want to take Billy’s advice and eschew decorating rules, make sure you are throwing out the arbitrary ones such as “don’t mix warm color with cool” or “use light colors in small spaces” I say have at it. Break away! Get wild and crazy! There is, however, a class of rules that can bend only so far before they snap. These are design principles and they are based more on geometry than on opinion. When these “rules” are ignored, you will most likely feel that there is something amiss with a space. You might not be able to verbalize just what the problem is, but it is almost certain that a rule has been broken. The basic design principles are balance, focus, harmony, proportion, and rhythm. Balance: You are more likely to feel if a room is unbalanced than see it. Balance simply refers to the visual equilibrium of a room that is achieved by how objects are placed according to visual weight. Shape, color and texture all help to determine their visual weight. Focus: This refers to the direction the eye travels and remains as it first enters a space. More
than one focal point in a room makes it quite uncomfortable as there is no place for the eye to rest. Harmony: This is achieved when the elements of a room work together to form a visually pleasing combination. Harmony in interior design is achieved by having a connection. This unity can be defined as a design thread that tells a story from one element to another. Proportion: Ah, Proportion and his best friend Scale . This is something the real estate agent fails to mention when showing you a home with a two story great room. Technically, proportion refers to how the elements within an object relate to the object as a whole while scale relates to the size of an object compared to the space in which it is located. Rhythm: The rhythm of a room controls the visual flow around a room. Rhythm allows the eyes to move around from one object to another and creates a harmonious atmosphere in a room A well designed home that incorporates these elements is not unlike the paints that an artist uses in the creation of a breathtaking work of art … each color and brushstroke plays off another color within the guidelines of design principle. The result is a warm, inviting space for living. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in Carmel.

Creating a basement apartment for family member Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BASEMENT: This home is located in the Brittany Chase subdivision in Zionsville. After moving from sunny blueprint for Florida to be closer improvement to family, the mother needed her own space in her daughter’s home. The main goal of the project was to create a living space separate from the rest of the house to give her complete independence and privacy. KITCHEN & LAUNDRY AREA: The unfinished storage area provided room for a full kitchen & laundry room. The kitchen features two-toned cabinetry, LED under-cabinet lighting, a marble subway tile backsplash, high-end appliances and quartz countertops. Using the condensed space, upper cabinets were eliminated to save space for an art collection and an antique armoire served as a food pantry. The laundry room features cabinets painted Ocean Blue as a reminder of the Florida beaches. COZY LIVING AREA: “Even though there are many windows, it still felt like a basement. I really wanted the space to feel cozy, not like I’m living in a basement.” To accomplish this, horizontal ceiling beams were installed. A gas fireplace gives the room a warm feel. “Golden White Quartzite” was used for the fireplace stone surround and hearth. MASTER BATHROOM/BEDROOM DETAILS: A
RESULT: “Everything came together just as I imagined it. I love the coziness of my new home and the independence I feel even though I am steps away from family.”

Send your name, address & telephone number along with a 100-word essay of why your teacher should be honored as the BMO Harris/Current in Zionsville Teacher of the Month to teacher@youarecurrent.com
top priority with the design of the master bathroom was to ensure the bathroom fixtures were simple and easy-to-clean. “I knew I wanted a tile floor so I selected large 12 inch by 24 inch tiles to minimize the amount of grout to clean.” Complementing the floor tile, simple 3 inch x 6 inch white subway tiles were selected for the shower walls. Chrome fixtures including the plumbing fixtures, shower door and vanity lighting gave the
room a cohesive and classic look. Chandeliers were hung in both the bedroom and closet giving the spaces an elegant and timeless flair.
