ZCS, Star Bank form partnership

By Desiree Williams news@currentzionsville.com Zionsville Community Schools announced a new partnership Sept. 9 with STAR Financial Bank, EDUCATION including sponsorship of the Performing Arts Center, implementation of financial literacy discussions and shadowing opportunities at a new banking center in the high school.

“The STAR Financial Bank people were so responsive and so creative about how it is that we might partner to help our youth, in addition to their mission of making sure that they support the arts around Indiana,” ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said at the Sept. 9 school board meeting.

Robison said the district has been looking for a performing arts sponsor for almost a decade. According to a district press release, “the two organizations found a natural alignment of values, passion and innovative spirit” to bring the new type of partnership to the community.

“We’ve looked at Zionsville for some time. What a great way to become part of the community to be involved with the school system and education,” STAR Bank President Tom Wright said.

The Zionsville Performing Arts Center will become the STAR Bank Performing Arts Center. Updated lighting, sound and production technology are planned for the auditorium.

The partnership also will create an internet banking center on campus, which will be open to the public and offer a live chat with a banker from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Another banking center will be developed inside Zionsville Community High School to provide immersive learning opportunities through shadowing, internships and possibly employment.

Students, under the supervision of STAR bank employees, will operate the banking center during school hours.

“It’s just a really robust partnership,” Robison said.

The arts center 2019-20 schedule can be found at zionsvillepac.org.

Zionsville Fire Dept. accepting applications – The Zionsville Fire Dept. is accepting applications for the positions of firefighter/EMT or firefighter/paramedic. Applications will be used to create an eligibility list for future hiring. To obtain additional information or submit an online application, visit zionsville-in. gov/jobs. Paper applications may be obtained from the Zionsville Fire Dept. Administrative Offices, 1100 W. Oak St., between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Zionsville Community Schools scored well above the state average on ILEARN testing in the spring.

The Indiana EDUCATION Dept. of Education released the ILEARN results Sept. 4.

Out of 496,244 students tested statewide in grades three through eight, only 47.9 percent tested with a proficiency in the English/ Robison language arts portion of the test.

Of the 3,210 students ZCS students tested, more than 74 percent were proficient in English/language arts.

“We do not celebrate the state’s mandated test, though we have top 10 results due to student effort, teacher quality and parent engagement.

Inasmuch as we have no solution to offer for the understandable need for accountability regarding the state’s $6 billion-plus investment in K-12, we will stand down on a long-form critique,” ZCS Supt.

Scott Robison said. “DOE supports for the shorter test (than ISTEP) were impeccable. Local teachers, counselors, tech crews, campus leaders and students handled the new test with aplomb. We wish the test results were timely (so) that they could impact individual students’ instruction as our inhouse processes do. We wish for revealed truthfulness about how misapplied this or any single test is when used against teachers and schools.”

ILEARN was created as a replacement for ISTEP and was mandated during the 2017 legislative session. The test was designed to assess the same academic standards as ISTEP but with a new focus on college and career readiness.

When compared to past ISTEP scores, statewide ILEARN results indicated lower achievement levels across the state in English/language arts and mathematics.

Because the results will have a negative impact on educators, schools and districts, IDOE released a statement pledging to advocate for responsive legislative action.

“While the 2019 ILEARN results do not provide a true reflection of the performance of Indiana’s schools, they do once again show us the importance of developing a modernized state legislated accountability system that is fair, accurate, and transparent,” IDOE Supt. Jennifer McCormick stated. “With this in mind, the department will propose the following legislative actions: place a ‘hold harmless’ year on 20182019 letter grades, pause intervention timelines for all schools and provide the State Board of Education with emergency rulemaking authority to review and reestablish the state accountability system.”

WFD among top departments

By Jarred Meeks news@currentzionsville.com

57 Boone Village, Zionsville 317.873.5756 /KERNBROSSHOES MONDAY-FRIDAY 10am-6:30pm SATURDAY 9am-5pm

The Whitestown Fire Dept. was recently recognized for having a public protection classification of Class PUBLIC SAFETY 2, making it one of the top-rated fire departments in Indiana.

The Insurance Services Office rates fire departments nationally, classifying them on a scale from 1 to 10, with Class 1 being the best rating a department can receive. The rating reflects a department’s ability to suppress and contain a fire. Ratings are used by insurance companies to set rates.

WFD was evaluated in early 2019, and the department’s Class 2 classification ranks it in the top 3 percent of fire departments in the nation and in the top 2 percent in Indiana. The department was ranked in the top 75 percent of fire departments in the state in 2013.

The new rating reflects a potential insurance savings of 10 percent, according to a town press release.

The Class 2 rating is an increase from its previous Class 4 rating and an improvement

from the Class 7 rating of six years ago, when WFD Chief Josh Westrich was appointed to his position.

Westrich said the improved classification is a reflection of better training, communication and other factors, but he noted one of the most dramatic improvements is a more robust staff. Westrich said the department, when he became chief, only had nine full-time personnel. As of August, the department became a full-time department with 42 full-time employees at the company level and an additional five administrative workers.

“Having the people and the apparatus to respond to each emergency was probably one of our most important improvements,” Westrich said. “The increase in personnel definitely allows us to ensure we’re throwing the appropriate amount of personnel at each incident to be able to respond in a timely manner, to eliminate that wait.”

Westrich said the department couldn’t have reached the level of proficiency without the help of neighboring fire departments in Zionsville and Lebanon, which work together to assure timely responses throughout Boone County.

SCOUTS GIVE NATURE A HELPING HAND

Commentary by Brad Thompson news@currentzionsville.com Conservation is one of the cornerstones of being a Boy Scout.

So, it was only natural that Scout Jared Walter Dennemann of Troop 804 (sponsored by the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County) would look for a way to preserve nature as his Eagle project. And, as it turned out, he needed look no further than the place the troop meets: Pleasant View Elementary.

A senior at Zionsville Community High School, Dennemann’s project was to create a monarch butterfly waystation next to the school building. A monarch butterfly waystation is essentially a garden that contains plants and flowers that attract monarchs and provides them a habitat to breed and survive during migration.

Building a waystation helps butterflies and helps students learn about monarchs. The waystation serves as an outdoor classroom to study insects, animals and plants and to assist in conservation.

Dennemann’s research revealed that there are four key elements to a waystation: nectar plants, milkweed, shelter plants and water supply. Throughout the fall, he will add all four elements to the waystation.

Materials for the station were donated by Dennemann’s family, and other support came from the Pleasant View Elementary PTO.

Michael Dennemann hands a brick to Jack Pittman, while Chris Jalaie carries one away.

Reflections of Indy Honor Flight 31 to D.C. war memorials Commentary by Ward Degler I thought it was going to be a laid-back trip to our nation’s capitol to visit war memorials and then home to PLAIN TALK tell everybody we had a good time. I was wrong.

The recent Indy Honor Flight 31 was carefully orchestrated to honor veterans of three wars. There were 85 of us, and each had a guardian who was instructed, among other things, to never leave our side.

There were a handful of World War II veterans going to visit a memorial that had taken 60 years to build and another 14 years of waiting to see. When these men got home from Europe or the Pacific, they didn’t take time to talk about what they’d seen or done. They went to school, got to work, married and raised families. They carried the war with them.

Honor Flight 31 changed all that. The memorial contains a spire for every state and territory that was part of the war. Each man connected with the place he called home.

Since the Korean War was at the time “just a police action,” a memorial was a long-time coming. But on this day, these

Ward Degler, right, greets retired U.S. Sen. Robert Dole at the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. (Submitted photo)

veterans stood before a haunting group of 14 soldiers on patrol, soldiers sculpted in stainless steel, eternally vigilant, eternally sacrificing.

The Vietnam Wall, black and silent, bears the names of 57,939 American servicemen and women who died during a 20-year span

between Nov. 1, 1955, and April 30, 1975.

Memorial volunteers were busy making rubbings of names of friends we left behind.

My friend’s name was Walter Gelien. He was killed in 1965 in Da Nang when a VietCong insurgent threw a hand grenade into the helicopter where he was on watch. I

knew him as a fellow officer candidate at Navy OCS. He left before commissioning to continue working as a combat medic, a job he had done for more than 20 years.

We started the day at 4:30 in the morning and got off the plane in Washington, D.C., shortly after breakfast. Literally hundreds of men, women and children greeted us, shook our hands and thanked us sincerely for our service. Others cheered, waved signs and shouted greetings as we boarded buses.

At the entrance to the World War II Memorial, retired Sen. Robert Dole (Kan.), now 95 years old, sat in a wheelchair to personally greet each one of us. Our guides told us he is at the memorial to welcome every Honor Flight.

Even though the day moved quickly, we had time at every stop to reflect and deal with long-forgotten memories. On our return flight, the tone was one of subdued reflection.

Family and friends gathered to welcome us home. For many, it was the homecoming they had waited for years to receive.

#BeUplifted

Bret Brewer is running for an at-large seat on the Zionsville Town Council.

Brewer, a CPA, said he ELECTION does not consider himself political but that he was compelled to run after doing his part to stop the proposed construction of the Sycamore Flats apartment complex.

“I really am not interested in politics,” he said.

Brewer “I don’t really want to do politics, but I feel like I kind of have to in order to help save the Village. I feel we need to do our civic duty and take care of our town and take care of our people and take care of our kids.”

When Sycamore Flats was proposed, Brewer said he devoted his free time and skills as a CPA to see what kind of impact it would have on Zionsville. “(It was a) beautiful project,” he said.

“There was just no way you could fit it on a little 4-acre property. It was just the wrong project for the wrong place.”

Brewer said between playing his part in stopping the development and seeing the backlash against it, he said he knew he wanted to do his part to help Zionsville.

“I’d like to help our small businesses,” he said. “I wanted to help the small local businesses grow because that’s going to help our local economy more, not having big box things come in where the money’s going to go to shareholders out of state.”

Brewer, who lost to Josh Garrett for a seat on the town council in the 2015 Republican primary, is running as a Democrat this time. He acknowledges that the “D” by his name on the ballot may work against him in a heavily Republican town like Zionsville, but he’s optimistic that his reputation will precede him.

“I actually voted on the Democratic ticket in the last primary, so I had to run as one,” he said. “A lot of Zionsville pulls that Republican lever. If you saw how much my name got out there for the Sycamore Flats thing, that was a good start. I didn’t do it for politics, I did it for the town.”

Zionsville resident gets Power of Children grant

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com From an early age, Emma Meyer was convinced she could do more to help others.

“I just felt in my heart I wasn’t doing enough at my age,” ACHIEVEMENT she said. “I had seen people doing acts of kindness with different service things.”

A Zionsville Community High School freshman, Meyer has devoted the past seven years to providing books for children. Her project earned her a Power of Children Award from The Indianapolis Children’s Museum.

Meyer started her first library in an Indianapolis Public Schools classroom when she was 8 years old.

“I was able to collect books for a classroom that parents could take home for the kids,” Meyer said.

Approximately a year later, she was diagnosed with a white blood cell disease, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and was treated at Riley Hospital for Children for one year. LCH is a form of cancer. She has been in remission for the past few years but still has yearly checkups.

Meyer, 14, spent a lot of time at Riley during treatment and noticed there wasn’t much for children older than 8 to do. She decided there needed to be books, so she expanded her original project and created Emma’s Bundles of Books and Joys.

“From there, people would continue donating,” said Meyer, who holds book drives.

At first, Meyer delivered the books and then went upstairs for chemotherapy, her mother Theresa Meyer said. Theresa is a lecturer at Butler University’s College of Education.

“She wanted to do this,” Theresa said.

“Her attitude was, ‘I can give back to others. I don’t need to be the one always being taken care of.’ I was just inspired by my own kid. (Her father) John and I both felt that way.”

Since 2013, Meyer has collected more than 12,000 books, 500 toys, 800 bookmarks, 250 children’s gifts and 20 blankets, which have been given to schools and hospitals.

Meyer is one of six students, including two from Indiana, to win the Power of Children Award and will be honored Nov. 15 during a special dinner and program at The Children’s Museum. The winners will receive a $2,000 grant from the Kroger Foundation

to expand their philanthropic projects, and they may choose a partial college scholarship from IUPUI, the University of Indianapolis or Butler University. Meyer said she intends to use her grant to expand her project nationwide and provide multi-language books, audio books and eBooks.

Part of Meyer’s project also has been supplying books to Riley teachers to help them teach classes.

“She is supplying school program supplies like flash drives and pencils,” Theresa said.

Theresa noted that the hospital goes through some supplies more quickly than others because they can’t be reused often because they need to be sterilized.

“She is giving supplies all year round,” Theresa said. “There are 11 teachers at Riley Hospital and one at St. Vincent. They are coming to her asking for supplies. That donation piece is very specific to student needs.”

Meyer said she plans to continue her efforts as long as they help others.

“I would love to mentor in the future to help kids learn the importance of giving joy to others,” Meyer said.

Debbie Young, director of the Power of Children Awards, said Meyer has made a difference by what she has done for so many people.

Zionsville residents share journey of pancreatic cancer to help others

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Larry Nicolet is a numbers guy who has beaten the odds.

“When I was first COVER STORY diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, it was 5 percent will make it five years,” the retired insurance sales executive said. “Now, through awareness and more research, we’re up to 9 percent. It’s still the deadliest cancer (in terms of survival rate).”

Nicolet, a 70-year-old Zionsville resident, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 8 1/2 years ago. Fellow Zionsville resident, Alex Wrona, 64, learned he had pancreatic cancer 4 1/2 years ago.

“When Alex and I were first diagnosed, it was, ‘Get your affairs in order,’” Nicolet said.

Nicolet and Wrona speak with other pancreatic cancer patients to answer questions through the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Nicolet participates in the PurpleStride Indianapolis walk to raise awareness.

“When people hear they have pancreatic cancer, they are told you need to call Alex or Larry because they both survived,” Nicolet said. “We’ve become the spokespersons for pancreatic cancer.”

Wrona said they are rare longtime survivors.

“For us to battle the disease we’ve battled, it’s phenomenal for both of us.” Wrona said. “For anything we can do to help anyone get through this horrible disease, I’ll do whatever I can do, just like Larry will do.”

Wrona said he doesn’t sugarcoat facts when talking to pancreatic cancer patients.

“It’s a horrible disease. You may make it, you may not,” he said. “But I’m going to advise you on my expertise on the disease to try to help you cope with what you are going through. What we are trying to tell everyone is there is always hope.”

Nicolet said the first year he attended the PurpleStride Indianapolis walk for pancreatic cancer in 2011, four survivors appeared on stage. At the June 2019 walk, there were 32 survivors.

Nicolet and Wrona get calls from the network from across the Midwest.

Allison Kotur, a volunteer and Indianapolis affiliate chair for the network, said Nicolet

and his wife, Joan, have been instrumental in driving the mission of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network forward, from fundraising to advocating for more federal funding and by volunteering for nearly nine years.

“The most impressive thing to me is Larry’s willingness to share his story and talk with those newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients and offer them hope,” Kotur said. “Larry has spent countless hours talking to people from all around the United States and getting them connected to the Patient Services that the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network offers.

“Larry is a symbol of hope to many that feel hopeless, and we are so thankful for the Nicolets’ continued involvement.”

SIMILAR JOURNEY Nicolet and Wrona met through a mutual friend, ex-Zionsville and now Carmel resident Paul Harrington, after they had both battled pancreatic cancer. Wrona and Harrington played football together at Butler University and were in Sigma Chi fraternity.

Nicolet was Sigma Chi at Purdue, where he was on the golf team.

Nicolet and Wrona have each lived in Zionsville for more than 30 years.

“Our lives are fairly parallel,” Nicolet said.

Their cancer paths at the beginning were

similar, too.

“We both had yellow eyeballs,” Nicolet said of the discovery. “You look like a drunken sailor. My wife said I didn’t look right. We were at a Butler (basketball) game and I told her it was lighting at Hinkle.”

Convinced by others he didn’t look well, Nicolet went to the doctor and learned his fate. He then had Whipple surgery, a proce-

dure to remove the head of the pancreas.

Fifteen months later, Nicolet said he learned cancer had returned in the remaining part of pancreas.

“Dr. (Michael) House said, ‘We’re going to make sure you don’t get pancreatic cancer again. We’re going to remove your pancreas,’” Nicolet said. “After that, I had no chemo, no radiation. They just got rid of the pancreas.”

That immediately made Nicolet a Type 1 diabetic, since the pancreas produces the insulin the body needs. He uses an insulin pump in his pocket.

“When people ask me about it, I said this is my outdoor pancreas. It rides around in my left pocket,” he said. “It carries a threeday supply of insulin.”

A year after his pancreas was removed, cancer cells were detected in his scar tissue where the pancreas was.

“I became one of the unique people in the world to have pancreatic cancer three times, with the last one not having a pancreas,” Nicolet said.

Doctors used a combination of drugs to eliminate cancerous cells without surgery in 2013. He has been cancer-free since.

Wrona also had Whipple surgery. Three years later, he was diagnosed with bone and brain cancer.

“I’m still going through chemo, which may be forever,” said Wrona, who recently switched his chemotherapy from every two to every three weeks.

Wrona was very active before the cancer diagnosis. He played racquetball competitively and worked out regularly.

“This just floored me,” Wrona said.

Wrona was a trade show director for 30 years. He eventually started his own company for trade shows, which he is still involved in to a lesser degree.

Wrona and wife, Cinda, have two sons, Stephen, 32, and Eric, 28. Both are Zionsville Community High School graduates.

“Cinda is my rock because this is an ongoing, everyday situation to make sure I’m right (physically),” Wrona said.

Nicolet said said the same is true of his wife. The Nicolets have three children, Mindy, 41, Molly, 37, and Mark, 33. All three graduated from ZCHS. “I use my three Fs: My family, my faith and my friends,” Nicolet said of his support.

ESSAY

LETTER

Who is we?

Hold Trump accountable

Commentary by Terry Anker We live in a land of privilege. Yes, we do. When invoking the royal prerogative, we suddenly imbue the power of the collective. Our voice now represents many. Our countenance now reflects the posture of the masses. We is the spokesperson for the movement, generation and family. We is the “one” that will speak for all. But, who appointed us we? Was there an interview, a standardized test, or an arm-wrestling competition? Probably not. On this one, perhaps the most important we of all, one must only claim unity first.

We columnists (actually, a reader rightly pointed out that it, at times, should be “us” columnists) do it all the time: assert a position and hold that it represents the reasoned view of all sentient beings. But other than ego and an unremarkable understanding of the body politic, is the prerogative defendable? Or, is it all just a keen sense of observation — or, more concernedly, an unabashed drive to the first-mover advantage?

Political leaders routinely claim to be we. “We have suffered that” is unabashedly linked to “We all, every one of us, think that.” Maybe. When we means our community, what is it to which we are condemning others? Is it clear that we know best?

Left or right, we is the hobgoblin of the docile set — happy to follow the lead of someone else’s directive. Good. It is much easier than thinking, and it is considerably much easier than defending a decidedly not we position.

The Sunday talking heads question the nuanced importance of the Founder’s “individual.” Is that we really me? Do we care? We’d guess not.

Resuming the dance of joy Commentary by Danielle Wilson I announced this exciting news in May but it bears repeating: My tiny dancer is back in action! That’s right, after a year’s sabbatical from competition, our youngest HUMOR has decided to return to the thrilling and sometimes tawdry world of dance! And you know what that means? I’m a dance mom again! Woohoo!

Because in the long run, peeps, it’s all about me. Sure, I supported her decision to hang up her tap shoes and focus on school, knowing she needed a physical and mental break from the often overwhelming pressure. But deep down, I kept my fingers crossed that she’d (read: we’d) return. For five years, I’d been a dance mom, driving to and from rehearsals, creating the perfect low buns, pinning straps and sewing up fishnets, scrutinizing other performers, scouring sketchy streets for the specified fast-food order and silently shaming scantily clad tweens and their mothers. My life had

been just as much wrapped up in sequins and booty shorts and stupid judges who don’t know true talent when they see it as hers had been. In hindsight, this hiatus might have been more painful for me and my limited social life than it was for her. She has a ton of non-dance friends. I don’t. It’s not how I roll!

So, what does this mean for you? Basically, come January 2020, prepare for a slew of insightful and usually hilarious commentaries on girl dance drama, in all its bedazzled glory. I promise to bring my keen observation skills to every competition, every dressing room, every awards ceremony and every post-event ride home, to ensure high-quality entertainment for you, my adoring public.

You’re welcome. Jazz hands out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”

— Steve Jobs

Editor, More than 130 congressional representatives have taken a stand against corruption and support an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. It’s imperative that every member of Congress recognize the danger of letting Trump get away with his criminal activity and publicly support an impeachment inquiry. It would be unconscionable to do otherwise.

We’ve got the facts. (Special counsel) Bob Mueller did not exonerate Trump — not by a long shot. His investigation found extensive criminal activity and resulted in 37 indictments and at least seven convictions or guilty pleas, including Trump’s national security advisor, personal lawyer and campaign chairman.

No one is above the law in our country, not even the president.

Mueller did his job. It’s time for Congress to do theirs. That’s why our representatives must publicly voice their support for holding Trump accountable through a formal impeachment inquiry.

Doing nothing will only embolden Trump to continue breaking the law and will set a dangerous precedent for our democracy.

That’s not the America I know.

Wendy Wheeler, Noblesville

A Wood-be mistake Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I were walking on the Butler campus after the Penrod Arts Fair. That’s when I saw on the sidewalk a HUMOR tiny plastic facsimile of Woody, the star of an iconic Disney animated movie series. He was 9 inches tall and colorfully painted. All his limbs and his head were poseable.

I love puppets and statues of all types.

I own life-size figures of Laurel and Hardy and smaller versions of Howdy Doody, Groucho Marx and Buster Keaton, to name a few.

I picked up this little guy and took him home. That night I realized what a terrible mistake I had made by taking Woody. It brought back a memory of my own childhood pal, a hand puppet named Monkey. His little face was cream colored; the rest of his body was a furry chocolate brown. Everywhere I went, he was with me. Some kids have a blankie. I had a monkey.

My parents and I used to walk to a pond near our home to feed the ducks. One afternoon, Monkey had been in my pocket the whole time, but when we returned home, he was missing. My father took me back to the lake in the early evening, flashlight in hand, to search for my lost companion, but no Monkey. It was devastating. I almost flunked out of first grade because of the trauma.

Feeling bad about taking Woody, I shared my monkey story with Mary Ellen. I discovered for the first time that she also had a favorite stuffed animal that had disappeared during a family outing. Loss affects all of us differently. In first grade, Mary Ellen was No. 1 in her class.

I needed to make amends, so I created a sign: I AM LOOKING FOR THE LITTLE BOY OR GIRL WHO LOST ME. I returned to where I found Woody, placed him against a tree and affixed the message above his head (a photo of this is on my Facebook page).

I’m not optimistic that Woody will find his owner, but I hope that will make up for the mistake I made. That’s my “Toy Story,” and I’m sticking to it.

St. Vincent launches online urgent care platform

news@currentinzionsville.com

Earlier this month, Ascension St. Vincent announced its launch of a new online service that allows NEW SERVICE patients to get urgent care at any time.

Ascension Online Care is a platform that connects patients to a physician or a provider via a device, like a smartphone or tablet, that can access the site at ascension. org/onlinecare.

Patients can video chat with a health care professional for urgent and non-emergency needs, including cold, flu and fever, sinus or upper-respiratory infections, nonlife-threatening allergic reactions, seasonal allergies, sore throat, cough and more. Cost of a visit is $49 and can be paid using a credit card or HSA/FSA. The service does not require insurance.

DISPATCH Hands and feet always cold? — When your body senses a drop in external temperature, blood vessels in your extremities contract in order to redirect more blood to your trunk.

This protects your organs by keeping them warm. This is why cold weather affects your hands and feet more than other parts of your body. To counteract this, stay well hydrated and increase your activity level to improve circulation.

COMMUNITY RECEIVES $3K FROM IMCU

Back in Balance Seminar

Staff from Indiana Members Credit Union present a $3,040 check to Community Health Network staff. A partnership between the two entities allows IMCU members to support the independent nonprofit hospital system by signing up for and using a Community Health Network debit card.

Each time the card is used as a signature-based transaction, Community Health Network Foundation benefits. Since beginning the program in 2017, Community Health Network Foundation has earned $11,605 through the program. From left, Bente Weitekamp, vice president for development, Community Health Network Foundation; Rob Baker, executive director of foundation operations, Community Health Network Foundation; Gina Terril, business development manager, IMCU; Thorpe Miller, vice president of business development and marketing, IMCU; Stephanie Wade, branch manager, IMCU Community East Branch; Brittany Johnson, branch manager, IMCU Castleton Branch; Ann Stephens Vauter, manager, health promotions, Community Health Network; and Robert Ruffing, supervisor, behavioral health, Community Health Network.

DISPATCHES Avoid that cold — As soon as you feel that first hint of a cold — stuffy nose or scratchy throat — begin a regimen of Vitamin C and zinc. Take 500-1500mg of Vitamin C daily.

Any more than 1500mg can cause diarrhea.

Take 10-25mg of zinc per day. Be aware, though, that zinc lozenges and tablets can cause upset stomach or a metallic taste.

This regimen is not a cure, but it can stop the virus from spreading and getting worse.

Eye pain relief — When something small and abrasive gets in your eye — such as a piece of sand or dirt whipped up by the wind — the last thing you want to do is rub it against your fragile cornea. Try this instead. Grab a facial tissue. With one hand, pull your lashes so that the upper lid is away from your eye. With the other hand holding the tissue, gently blow your nose three times. The pressure should make that foreign object fly away.

Cruise deals — Believe it or not, cruises are a real last-minute travel deal. Cruise lines significantly cut fares about a month before departure if beds are still empty. How low do prices go? It’s not uncommon for nightly rates to plunge by up to 80 percent, though half off is more common. Scout for bargains at Cruise Direct, JetBlue Cruises, and Cruise Critic.

The value of a dollar — In the U.S., apparently not every dollar is equal. The value of $1 varies depending on where you go.

According to new data compiled by 24/7 Wall Street from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), a dollar goes the furthest in America’s “poorest states,” such as Mississippi and Alabama. According to 24/7 Wall Street’s research, only four states (Rhode Island, Florida, Oregon and Delaware) are actually worth $1. The states that were named the most expensive include New Jersey, California and New York, with each averaging about $0.87 to $0.88 on the dollar.

Hawaii was by far the priciest state — with a $1 bill being worth only a measly $0.84.

The warm-weather state was also dubbed the most expensive state. Indiana ranked 11th with a value of $1.11 on the dollar.

Finding at-home jobs — For job seekers wanting to work from home, the internet is full of scams. There are so many spam postings that it’s tiring to sort through them for legitimate opportunities. Two websites do a pretty good job of screening their postings.

Flexjobs.com does charge a small fee, about $50 per year to access its database of listings. RatRaceRebellion.com is free to use but is fairly legitimate.

Williams honored to earn spot in Songbook Hall of Fame

By Mark Ambrogi •mark@youarecurrent.com A younger generation was introduced to the multiple talents of Paul Williams through the 2011 documentary aptly named “Paul Williams Still Alive.”

Anyone alive in the 1970s doesn’t need to ACHIEVEMENT be introduced to Williams, a 5-foot-2 singer/ songwriter/actor who was a regular on “The Tonight Show,” appeared in “Smokey and the Bandit” and wrote many iconic songs.

But he then seemingly disappeared from public view for many years. He is the first to admit the ‘80s were a lost decade because of cocaine and alcohol addiction.

Great American Songbook Foundation founder Michael Feinstein certainly recognizes the talents of Williams, who will be inducted into the Songbook Hall of Fame, along with Tony Bennett, Doris Day and Duke Ellington, Sept. 21 at the Palladium in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Day died at 97 in May and Ellington died at 75 in 1974. Dionne Warwick will provide entertainment at the sold-out Songbook Celebration gala, which supports the center’s artistic and educational programming.

“That’s the music that brought me into music,” Williams said of the Songbook era. “When I was in high school in the ‘50s, everyone was listening to rock ‘n’ roll, I was listening to ‘Only the Lonely’ and (Frank) Sinatra. My favorite song has always been ‘Someone to Watch Over Me.’ It’s wonderful full circle for me to share the company of these amazing songs and songwriters.”

Williams said he considers Feinstein a good friend and sang at his wedding to Terrence Flannery.

“It’s remarkable at this point of my life. I turn 79 on Sept. 19. I feel like a tired 34. It’s a remarkable thing to celebrate,” he said. “I get to shake hands with the man (Feinstein) that has kept those songs alive.”

Williams is thrilled to be inducted with such a special group.

“The great thing about what I do for a living is we never have to give up our fan card,” he said. “When I see Tony Bennett, I try to keep that, ‘Oh, my god, there’s Tony Bennett’ look off my face and look as casual as possible.

Williams said he was thrilled to add Bennett to the list of famous singers who have recorded his songs, such as Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis Presley.

A lyricist for most of his career, Williams co-wrote The Carpenters songs “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rainy Days and Mondays” with Roger Nichols.

Williams wrote most of “The Muppet Movie” songs with Kenneth Ascher, including “Rainbow Connection.

“These are great composers that I worked with and I learned so much from,” Williams said.

Williams won an Oscar for writing “Evergreen,” which Barbra Streisand sang in the 1976 movie “A Star is Born.”

Williams said people frequently come up to him and say they were married to “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Evergreen.”

Paul Williams will be inducted into the Songbook Hall of Fame Sept. 21 at the Palladium. (Submitted photo)

“Sometimes that is followed up by we’re not together anymore,” he said. “But it’s phenomenal to think you’ve been part of that magical moment in someone’s life.”

Williams is not singing as much as he used to. He did act in the second season of the Amazon Prime series “Goliath.” For the past 11 years, he has been president of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

“I’m not singing as much. Frankly, there are some challenges around my hearing that make it a little difficult to find a note once in a while,” he said. “I haven’t quit singing, but I find I’m really comfortable letting someone else sing the songs.”

Williams initially pursued an acting career but got few parts.

He unsuccessfully auditioned for “The Monkees” TV show, but there was a bright side.

“The failure of the acting career led me to songwriting,” he said.

Williams has been sober for 29 years and is a certified drug rehabilitation counselor through UCLA. “The two things I’m intensely passionate about are recovery and protecting musicians’ rights and making sure they are compensated for the brilliant work they do,” he said.

‘Annie’ team seeks ‘Sandy’ at Art of the Dog editorial@youarecurrent.com The Cat is looking for a dog.

Perry Accetturo, from The Cat, said theater representatives will be at the Art of the Dog from noon to 4 p.m. Sept. 21 in the Carmel Arts & Design District to let dog owners know about the auditions for Sandy, the dog, for “Annie.”

“We are looking for a dog that is wellmannered, is OK with the kids in the show, is OK with big crowds and being on stage,” Accetturo said. “We’re going to fill the stage with the cast and have them laugh and clap and see how the dog reacts to that and stage lights. The dog that meshes well with all those elements is the dog we are going to ultimately extend an offer to.”

The world premiere of the repertory production of musicals “Annie” and “Annie Warbucks” will open Nov. 14 and run through Dec. 1 at The Cat. A dog has already been cast for “Annie Warbucks.”

Accetturo said organizers are taking RSVPs for the auditions, which will be 9 to 11 a.m.

Woodstock vibe coming to CCPL

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Michael Beck and Tim Brickley are accomplished recording artists and touring musicians who have an affinity CONCERT for playing small venues.

That’s why they look forward to their Sept. 22 date at Carmel Clay Public Library, where they’ll perform a 50th anniversary tribute to Woodstock, the iconic 1969 music festival that featured dozens of the era’s top rock artists.

Beck, a percussionist, and Brickley, a guitarist, will play an acoustic array of songs that were performed during the three days of Woodstock, including selections

by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Who. “It’s just an hour that we play, but it’s just packed full of tunes everybody will know from that era and from Woodstock,” said Beck, a long-time musician who owns Anderson & Beck, a music-booking agency in Indianapolis. “Our niche is kind of that ‘60s and ‘70s vibe. We do a lot of songs by (artists) that were at Woodstock and that type of sound.

Beck and Brickley, a music producer who owns Hit City Recording studio in Indianapolis, will perform at 2 p.m. in the Program Room at CCPL, 55 4th Ave. SE, Carmel. The free concert is part of an occasional music series offered by CCPL. Although Sept. 22 will mark their first time playing at CCPL, Beck and Brickley frequently perform in libraries throughout central Indiana.

“It’s a wonderful thing to be able to do, so I love those kinds of situations,” Beck said.

With an impending chill in the air, it’s time to consider some heavier wines for fall weather. I’ve got three WINEderlust reds for you this week and all of them can be found at Mass Ave Wine in downtown Indianapolis. I mention this because last month I had quite a few emails asking where (specifically) my suggestions could be found locally. Ask for Lisa.

First up, Juggernaut ‘Hillside’ Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a bold and structured wine from California.

Four hillside vineyards in Napa, specifically.

Vines that grow mountainside have to work harder to bear fruit. The result is grape yields that are less prolific and much more intensely flavored. Aged in French oak, this wine is luxuriously textured with lots of vanilla flavors. Oh, and the dark currants.

Big, sexy wine for a great price ($20).

Next is Southern Belle, a blend of equal parts Syrah and Monastrell. It’s made in the

south of Spain and aged in retired bourbon (Pappy Van Winkle) barrels. Although the bourbon nuances are more obvious on the nose, they are still evident on the palate.

Coupled with big fruit flavors, toffee and vanilla, it’s kind of brambly and kind of boozy at the same time. Yum. Also $20ish.

Last but certainly not least is a favorite varietal of mine: Barista Pinotage.

Pinotage from South Africa typically offers dark fruit flavors with smokiness and earthy notes. Barista doesn’t disappoint.

Charming and rustic, this one also boasts mad coffee flavors and aromas. Dare I say it? A smidge of nutmeg and leather. All for less than $15. Boom.

With an impending chill in the air, it’s time to consider some heavier wines for fall weather.

Elizabeth Morse owned the Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple for nearly to 20 years. She is a graduate of IU, is a Hoosier chef, food writer, wine guru and Hamilton County Master Gardener. Morse has been a resident of Hamilton County for more than a decade.

Don’t commit capital offenses Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Chapel in House of Ananias in Damascus, Syria. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting the House of Ananias Commentary by Don Knebel Just inside the ancient eastern gate of Damascus, Syria, are rooms said to have been the first-century home of a person who participated in the converTRAVEL sion of the Apostle Paul.

According to the Christian New Testament, Paul (then named Saul) was persecuting Christians until he heard the voice of Jesus on the road to Damascus, causing him to fall to the ground and leaving him temporarily blind.

His companions took him into Damascus, where Ananias, a Jewish follower of Jesus, baptized him in the Straight Street home of a man named Judas. With Paul’s belief in the Resurrection of Jesus established and his sight restored, he spent the rest of his life spreading Christianity around the Roman Empire. Legends surrounded Ananias, one identifying him as the first bishop of Damascus and another saying that he was stoned to death outside the city. In the Middle Ages, two subterranean rooms along Straight Street were claimed to belong to

the house where the sainted Ananias had lived at the time of Paul’s baptism. Christians and Muslims alike revered the rooms.

In 1820, the Franciscans acquired the rooms and turned one of them into a chapel.

Today, the House of Ananias, along the Damascus street still named Straight, is open to the public. Renovated in 1973, one room features a marble sculpture showing Ananias baptizing Paul. The other room, still used as a chapel, includes three scenes from the Biblical account of Paul’s visit to Damascus. The scene on the right shows Paul falling from his horse after encountering Jesus, the one in the middle shows his baptism and the one on the left shows him being lowered in a basket from a Damascus wall to avoid persons trying to kill him. A nearby wall map shows the routes of Paul’s four missionary journeys.

I have one mnemonic device to rule them all when it comes to remembering the eight rules of GRAMMAR GUY capitalization, and it comes from “Lord of the Rings.” Whenever you want to recall what gets capitalized, just remember “Forgetful Bilbo Baggins took Pippin into Sam’s watermelon marmalade store.” It’s as simple as that.

F is for the first letter in a sentence.

This is an easy one. Always capitalize the first letter in a sentence. Your phone automatically does it, as does your computer’s word processing software.

B stands for buildings and other manmade structures. This means we need to capitalize the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and the Brooklyn Bridge.

The second B is for borders of countries, states, counties and regions. Always capitalize Jamaica, New Jersey, Jakarta and Jefferson County.

T is for titles. “Titles” relate to people (Dr. Quinn), formal job titles (when the job title immediately precedes the person’s name: Emperor Palpatine) and book and

movie titles (“The Hunt for Red October”).

P is for people. Always capitalize people’s names (Frodo, Sauron, Gandalf, etc.).

I is for I. Capitalize the word “I.” Again, many of our robot devices do this for us automatically.

S is for schools, including colleges and universities. Although I don’t think Gandalf ever taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I’m sure they’d let him substitute.

W is for bodies of water. The Red River separates Oklahoma from Texas.

M is for mountains. Be careful when climbing Mount Doom; you might drop your jewelry into it.

Finally, S is for streets. The president lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Although The Beatles sang about Penny Lane, their recording studio was on Abbey Road.

Forgetful Bilbo Baggins took Pippin into Sam’s watermelon marmalade store.
