Community supports ARC for win By Julie Osborne and Mary Ellen Kirby julie@youarecurrent.com

For some folks, presents don’t arrive until Dec. 25, but Christmas came a bit early this year for the ARC of Greater Boone County. As a award winner on the last day of Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good Program, ARC will be the recipient of a new Toyota Sienna Mobility van. Winners were chosen based on votes from the public. “We got the 100th vehicle in the 100 car give-away. That was pretty cool,” said Marcia Clutter, Clutter Arc of Greater Boone County community relations director. Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program showcased five nonprofit organizations each day from Oct. 1 through Nov. 19, with visitors to their website casting their votes up to two votes per day for different nonprofit organizations. Arc was the featured organization on the very last day and received the second highest percentage of votes on that day. The top two organizations each day won the vehicle of their choice. Residents, businesses, community organizations, churches, schools, and even a movie theatre in Lebanon united to vote for the Arc of Greater Boone County. Rachel Becker, a language arts teacher at Lebanon High School and teacher sponsor of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, was prompted into action after fellow special education teacher, Molly Murphy, told her about the contest. Becker encouraged students in FCA to make signs and place them around school, and the club created a Facebook group to encourage students to vote. She even obtained special permission to allow her students to vote for a few minutes in class and encouraged other teachers to follow suit. “It was a little act that could help get a van for a group who needed it,” Becker said. “It was a great lesson for the kids to show them how sacrificing a

little bit of time to do something for someone else could go a long way. They could see strength in numbers and how to contribute which would have a positive result for Arc who many students are familiar with through service clubs.” The Arc of Greater Boone County assists people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing work skills training, daily life skills, and assistance with job placement. A van was greatly needed as the current van has limited access andneeds repair. “The van we have now is not wheelchair accessible and one of rear sliding doors does not work. People now have to climb in through one door and over each other which is difficult for some of our disabled and elderly people,” Clutter said. The new van will be used to transport program participants to work, volunteer organizations, to the library and other outings.

DISPATCHES

Village residents’ family tree trimming party – Annika Bauman and Violet Worth place ornaments on the tree at the gazebo in Lincoln Park. Caroles were sung and hot chocolate was offered to all. The VRA welcomes community families to place an ornament on the tree to help establish this event as a long standing village tradition. Ladies Night Out • 5 to 6: 30 p.m. Dec. 12. • Evening starts at the Sanctuary with cocktails. • 75 N.

The Arc of Greater Boone County won a new Toyota Sienna Mobility van, like the one pictured here, through Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program.

“This new van will be wheelchair accessible,” Clutter said. “We’re the only agency located in Boone County serving people with disabilities so this will be a huge help.” Toyota’s first van of the 100 awarded has arrived, and Arc is eagerly awaiting the arrival of its new van. When it arrives, ARC staff plan to drive the new van around town to thank all who made it possible. “We’re thrilled with the way the community came together to help spread the word to get the votes to win the final vehicle in the 100 car give-away,” Clutter said.

Zionsville Husky Fest – More than 300 lacrosse players from several states gathered recently at Zionsville High School for the second annual Husky Fest. The event also launched a community service effort by collecting non-perishable food items and age level books for the Hattie B. Stokes Elementary School, a county school providing students with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

DVD review “Despicable Me 2” is essentially more of the same, with super-villain-turned-super-daddy Gru (voice of Steve Carell) turning his attentions away from dastardly plots to raising his three adopted daughters and manufacturing “jams and jellies.” To read more, visit www.currentnightandday.com

Greek’s Pizzeria helps causes By Kathi Reichert • news@currentzionsville.com Greek’s Pizzeria has been providing Zionsville with delicious pizza for more than two years, and now there is something more to your local neighborhood hangout philanthropy pizza with a purpose. Every Tuesday, Greek’s Pizza hosts a fundraiser night with 15 percent of the proceeds from dine-in or carryout orders going directly toward a charity. Greek’s hosted two fundraisers just last month; Operation Honduras and a Haiti Mission trip through Zionsville Community High School. “This is a community which comes out and supports things like that. We’re lucky to live in a community like Zionsville. People will give their money to help benefit people that are in more need,“ said owner Mike Cole. Cole’s whole heart is in Zionsville and believes together people can make a difference in helping others. “There’s a lot more people out there in greater need than us. We live in a thriving community. I think we have to look outside our community to help out any way we can.” This concept is not new for Cole. He initiated fundraisers at a Greek’s Pizzeria he owned in Fort Wayne and has helped everyone from fire departments to policemen to natural-disaster victims and churches. Even a political candidate. Cole is looking for your help to get more dates on the books at Greek’s Pizzeria. Any charitable

cause will be considered and the proceeds will be donated directly to the organization following the event. A donation jar is also left on the counter for a week or two so that patrons can continue to give if they can’t make it in on the charity night. “The employees love it. We staff up for it,” Cole mentions. “A lot of times our High School waitstaff will be out there and they will know a lot of the people coming in. It’s a big town but it still has that small town feel.” Greek’s Pizzeria - 30 N.

What it means: Adopt proposed amendment and delete Chapter 12 of the Code of Ordinances and Technical Standards as it is currently written. The amendment is the first one brought forth with updated technologies now in place and being used; including an enforceable violation fee structure. Councilor Suarez asked how the fees fall in line with surrounding areas. The response was that Zionsville had fallen behind and is now comparable with no overlap of other fees or taxes.

What’s next: Approved to adopt on first reading.

What happened: Consideration of a Resolution accepting streets into the town of Zionsville Municipal Arterial Streets system. What it means: In January 2013, rural streets reorganized into the urban district. Resolution to approve public ownership; town assumes jurisdiction over and responsibility for, providing all street and road services.

What’s next: Approved, no opposition.

What happened: Resolution to establish Small Business Micro Loan fund program. What it means: Zionsville Redevelopment Commission will make a one-time pledge of $200,000 in TIF allocation funds to seed the Small Business TIF MLF providing financial assistance to small businesses within the TIF area.

What’s next: Approved, no opposition.

What happened: Presentation of roundabout at Bloor Lane and Ford Road Several residents of the Village Walk subdivision were present to share their concerns the roundabout will have to the subdivision entrances. “I certainly understand the concerns of some residents of Village Walk when faced with the elimination of one of the entrances into their subdivision. Often times, officials must make decisions based on the long-term best interests of the entire community. A roundabout will better serve the immediate and future needs of the motoring public, and have been acknowledged to be a safer alternative to signalized intersections,” said Street and Storm Water Dept. Superintendent Lance Lantz. Lantz indicated the construction is to begin at the close of this year’s school session and finish by the beginning of the next school term. Councilor Ulmer expressed concerned if the roundabout construction will impede or hinder traffic flow with the Ford bridge renovations commencing in the spring. Lantz confirmed that all work on the roundabout will be coordinated with all projects occurring in the area to ensure traffic safety and clearly defined passage.

Wedding anniversary, cake and all Commentary by Ward Degler My wife and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary a few days ago. As part of the festivities we did something unplain talk usual. We ate some cake. The cake was wrapped in plastic and foil and had been in our freezer since our 25th anniversary eight years ago. While I have never had a problem keeping things beyond their “use by” date, I admit that eight years was a little extreme. After six months, most forgotten things in my freezer will have taken on a life of their own and are nearing the point of armed rebellion. But, the cake was beautiful and after the festivities eight years ago, I called the bakery and asked how to freeze it for future celebrations. I have forgotten the details, but it may have involved an entire roll of aluminum foil and a couple of bats of pink attic insulation. After chipping away the accumulated layers of frost, we began unwrapping. I felt like an arche-

ologist exhuming an ancient mummy. When the final wrap was gone, we were amazed to see the cake looking fresh and tasty. I got out the cake server. As I cut through the multi-layer of icing and Lady Baltimore goodness, I recalled scientists digging out a mastodon that had been entombed for several millennia in arctic ice. The meat, they said, was still fresh. Although our cake was much younger than the mastodon, our Kelvinator freezer was no match for a continent-size glacier. The icing was deliciously sweet. The cake, however, had dried to the consistency of the mummy mentioned above. We shared a taste, wished each other a happy anniversary, and reverently dropped the remainder in the trash.

Back in the day The first snow in Zionsville brings out children of all ages from Earl Russell on a sled to Philip Schenk leading the mule. In the early days of Zionsville’s history children could slide down Walnut Hill (Street) from where the school stood (now Hussey-Mayfield Library) to Frist Street. Pine Street would be closed to traffic to safeguard children sledding. One-room rural schools would be closed for a few days until the roads were cleared, but schools in town were closed only if it was very cold, slick or the mule in the picture wouldn’t “start”.

Zionsville’s newest park, Heritage Trail Park, located at 4050 S. 875 E., is set to open in the spring. Heritage Trail Park will be the fourth new park to open in Zionsville development since 2008. This will be the first park located in the Rural Service district in Zionsville. The park will extend the Zionsville Rail Trail and will have internal park pathways to connect Heritage Trail Park to the Rail Trail. The park will provide a children’s playground geared for ages 2 to 5, a picnic shelter, a bocce court, a hard surface sports court and to reduce maintenance, native planting will be used. At a future date, community garden plots, currently located on the site of the future Zionsville Fire Station, will also be incorporated into the park area. “The Town of Zionsville has an extensive and long-term commitment to creating park spaces, College Scholarships – The Zionsville Tri Kappa scholarship committee is currently seeking top applicants from Boone County to sponsor for the following State Scholarships, Academic Scholarship, Key Scholarship, Fine Arts Scholarship and Twanette Nutter Fleming Music Award.Any full-time student enrolled in a baccalaureate or graduate program, who has completed at least one academic year may apply. Applications due by Jan. 17, 2014.

with nearly 18 acres of park land per 1,000 Zionsville residents,” said Matt Dickey, superintendent of the Zionsville Parks and Recreation Dept. “Compared to many other communities in Indiana, Zionsville residents have a significant amount of parkland. Still, the demand is there for more. A recent Zionsville study indicated that 75 percent of residents would like to see even more parks in Zionsville.” Within the last six years, 5.15 miles of paved trails have been completed and three parks were opened for the public: Mulberry Fields Park, Turkey Foot Nature Park and Elm Street Green. After a competitive bid process, Brandt Construction, Inc. was selected to be the lead contractor on the Heritage Trail project. Heritage Trail Park is already scheduled to be featured in a catalog for the manufacturer of the park’s playground equipment, Landscape Structures, Inc., one of the leading commercial playground equipment manufacturers in the world.

In his retirement, Gary Stevenson, fulfills his boy hood dream of raising a wolf By Carla Howie • carla@youarecurrent.com “We have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we have deliberately and mistakenly perceived it to be…” Farley Mowat, “Never Cry Wolf.” cover story As a young boy, Gerry Stevenson enjoyed family vacations to Yellowstone and Glacier National parks. On any given day there, he remembers seeing six or seven different packs of wolves traversing the land and their beauty and gracefulness began his fascination. “I also read Jack London’s novels beginning with ‘The Call of the Wild,’ and my desire to know more about these amazing creatures never died.” It wasn’t until his adulthood that he actually made contact with a wolf. Disclosing to a friend his interest in wolves, the friend invited Stevenson for a round of golf at the Wolf Run golf course in Zionsville, where he introduced Stevenson to the owner, the late Jack Leer. The golf course was conceived and developed by Leer and included a large fenced in area where 22 wolves made their home. A fast friendship was made between Leer and Stevenson, and Stevenson shared his desire to own a wolf for himself. Leer’s advice for Stevenson was think about ownership once he retired because socializing a wolf requires more time and patience than a domesticated dog.

Books bring me joy

A central plan Commentary by Terry Anker Our ordinarily rock-solid electrical power supply has been interrupted several times these past many weeks. While we’ve experienced a long run with only the most brief flickers in the grid – the kind that requires that you reset the microwave clock but not persistent enough to go find and light a candle for illumination. But recently, we’ve encountered unexpected darkness for hours at a time. While it is fun to camp, I find that I miss the light (heat and internet, too). Recently, the cable for television and internet access failed. For what seemed like an eternity, we were off the World Wide Web! What could be happening that we’d miss? But it did remind us of our dependency on these centrally provided essentials. That night, our calls to Bright House would be answered by an automated attendant, and after a lengthy phone tree laden with questions about our account and language proficiency, the provider’s computer would promptly cut the call leaving us to start the process over. I imagined a world where

one entity managed all communication. Could we lose TV, the Internet and phone all at the same moment and without warning or hope of recourse? Without the duplicate and competitive cell phone company with whom we maintained an account, would we have been isolated? Can the benefits imagined in a single point of contact for all essential services ever fully outweigh the risk in the event of failure (intended or not)? Does a single payer, single provider system work to increase our freedoms or restrict them? Somehow, monopolies, even benevolent government-sponsored ones, raise suspicion. In a world where our own mighty federal apparatus cannot create a working Website, are we foolish to even contemplate such consolidation?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.”

- Soren Kierkegaard

Books bring me joy. There. I’ve said it. I am a book geek. I’ve maintained a log of every book I’ve read since I was in high school. Something magical happens when I hold a book in my hand. I can feel my eyes scan each line on a page and instantly, the words transform in my mind. One of the first things I did upon moving here was to find a book club. Luckily, a previous co-worker, introduced me to a longstanding women’s book club. We recently read “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak. It tells the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster child living outside of Munich during the rise of the Nazi party. One of her first possessions is a book, stolen at the gravesite of her younger brother. Although she has not yet learned to read, her foster father uses it, “The Gravediggers Handbook,” to calm her back to sleep when she is violently awakened by nightmares of her brother’s death. As the years proceed, Liesel takes advantage of opportunities to collect more stolen books. It is often from the mayor’s wife, who maintained a whole library of books; when Germany’s neighborhoods were forced to burn theirs. This book was brilliantly crafted for the young adult reader, but that didn’t stop my tears from flowing. If it’s not recommended reading in the schools, it should be. Magic happens when a book touches your soul. Carla Howie is the managing editor of Current in Zionsville. You may e-mail her at carla@youarecurrent.com

Watch where you step Commentary by Danielle Wilson I had the absolute pleasure of attending my twin nephews’ birthday celebration recently at a local “fun zone” which will forever humor go unnamed. Normally I loathe these places … bazillions of young children racing around quite literally like chickens with their heads cut off to the dismay of parents and caretakers alike. And they don’t even serve alcohol! This particular party was entertaining nonetheless, and it all boiled down to poo. Yes, you read correctly. I was kind of in a bad mood heading into the evening’s festivities. Doo had abandoned me for his beloved tree stand for the second weekend in a row, and my kids had been fighting like cats the entire day. But family calls, so I downed two Advil and headed into the fray with my three tween-agers. As expected, kids were everywhere, screaming, crying, laughing, falling, jumping, spinning … this place could make bank if they just sold whiskey. Two whole hours. How was I going to make it? Here’s where poo saved the day. First I was regaled by my sister-in-law and her husband about their new puppy’s intestinal condition. Apparently she has giardia, a parasitic condition which results in extreme diarrhea at all hours. Hearing them recount a night of pure fecal horror made me laugh so hard I cried, and reminded me of our own canine catastrophe last

Christmas Eve when we discovered our Labrador had utterly destroyed her kennel and the bedroom’s white carpet. Good times. Coincidentally, one of the birthday boys also was experiencing bowel issues. On the heels of his dad whisking the potty-training cutie away after the second accident of the night, I heard my other sister-in-law scream to her crawling 1-year-old, “Don’t eat that!” We all looked up to see her snatch her son away from a perfectly cubed pieced of poo. As I went to clean it up, we noticed several other “nuggets” lying around. Apparently the star of the show was leaving a trail straight through the main play area, sanitation warnings be damned. I don’t know if these establishments follow swimming pool protocol when contamination occurs, but we weren’t taking chances. Swiftly yet covertly, we spread out to contain the situation and eliminate all traces of corruption, struggling to keep the giggles in check. We succeeded on the first, failed on the second, and thus ended my best time ever at a play park. You could say the poo hit the fan twice that night, but for once, I think we all welcomed it. Peace out!

Black mark for Black Friday Commentary by Dick Wolfsie On Black Friday I was dealing with some severe back pain. What with the giant screen TVs, the treadmills, and the new humor furniture…well, I never should have carried in all those newspaper ads from the front porch in one trip. My wife and I have always avoided Black Friday bargain hunting. We believe that shopping on Black Friday is losing popularity because it’s getting so crowded in the stores. I say let’s have Black Friday on a Monday when most people are at work. That would thin out the masses, wouldn’t it? Hello, is anyone listening to me? The Wolfsies stayed home on this Black Friday, but we didn’t want to get a reputation for not taking part in any of the classic holiday rituals, so we found a way to feel depressed—which is another holiday tradition. It was easy to accomplish it. All we had to do was read through the newspaper and realize how much money we had already lost on these advertised items. Not the savings we missed by not shopping on Friday, but all the moola we blew throughout the past year by being impatient. “Mary Ellen, look at this Samsung Smart TV…65 inches: $750, including a stand and a free poinsettia, no payments for a year and free delivery. What idiots we were. We paid $950 eight months ago. Now we’re sitting in a flowerless room with a really dumb 55-inch TV and a neighbor who’s

still in a neck brace after helping us haul it into the house. And what about the three-piece sectional couch we bought in February?” “Yes, it’s a beautiful sofa and it was a really good deal.” “Well, here’s the same exact one, Mary Ellen, but with an extra section for the same price. And you get 12 pillows instead of eight. “We’ve already shoved four of the pillows under the bed, Dick, and if that couch had another section, we’d have to store it in the basement crawlspace.” Of all the deals we missed, the one that annoyed me the most was the Maytag 28 cu. ft. French-door refrigerator in stainless steel for $1,100, plus a $200 rebate and a nifty spray to clean smudges off the surface. “Oh my gosh, we paid more than that for a no-name two years ago,” I shrieked. “We should have waited till Black Friday Mary Ellen.” “Waited? All the food in our old fridge was rotting, Dick. The meat and ice cream in the freezer were melting.” I tried to explain this money-saving strategy to her again. But I’m dealing with a woman who has absolutely no idea the best time of the year to shop.

Christmas in the Village Magic Commentary by Julie Osborne

Snow on Main Street, parade down the bricks, and Santa bringing the new Village Christmas tree to life, I mean, light. It was a glorious day to be in downtown Zionsville on Nov. 30. The parade arrived with its usual pomp and circumstance, ushered in by the Gordon Pipers with several colorful floats, talented groups, and, of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus in their horse-drawn carriage. After the parade, a reindeer with elves lingered along with the Dickens carolers and Nutcracker characters available for photo shoots. Families enjoyed pizza slices for fifty cents and patiently awaited popcorn and hot chocolate at Inga’s. It all just felt like the way Christmas should be. My favorite part was the snow or, shall I say, bubble machine that created a snowy scene and kept children smiling and attempting to catch flakes on into the darkness. The town was fully alive until long after the official lighting with Santa’s words, “Ho, ho, ho”. Then, it was time

‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ appeals to all ages His 11 brothers are jealous of Joseph’s (Patrick Clements) coat of many colors and the fact he is their father’s favorite son. (Submitted photo)

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Perhaps you’d like a new coat for Christmas? What color would you like? It might be a good idea to ask theatre Santa for a coat of many colors – something the whole family can enjoy. On Dec. 13, the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre stage will swirl with the festive, uplifting colors, costumes, dancing and songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s musical, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” The show is based on a story from the Book of Genesis, and tells the tale of a boy who has 11 brothers, all of whom are jealous of him because he is the father’s favorite and has been given a glorious coat of many colors to prove it. The brothers sell Joseph off as a slave, but tell their father that he is dead. Joseph is ultimately imprisoned by his new master. While in prison, he realizes he has the gift to interpret dreams, which puts him in a position of great power in Egypt. He is ultimately in a position to first test

and finally forgive his brothers, when he sees how sorry they are and how much they have learned while he was away. A pop/rock opera, the story is told entirely in song. Written in the early ’70s, it rose to success on the heels of Webber and Rice’s hit, “Jesus Christ Superstar.” The show employs numerous musical styles and genres, including country-western, Calypso, funk, rock and roll, French ballad and disco. The title role of Joseph has been played by such heartthrobs as David Cassidy and Donny Osmond. In Civic’s production, it will be played by Butler University graduate and student advisor Patrick Clements, who is reprising the role and has been seen on the Booth Tarkington stage in “My Fair Lady” and “West Side Story.” “I love this show because it’s easy for the actors to have a lot of fun, which leads to the

audience having a lot of fun,” Clements said. “It’s quirky and there are just so many different musical styles in it. But there’s an emotional string running through it, which really pulls everyone in in the end.” The show will be directed by Michael Lasley. “It’s a big production,” Lasley said. “We have three rotating kids’ casts and there will be about seventy-five people involved in a performance. And we have a lot of first-time Civic performers, so it’s really bringing a fresh energy to the show.” “I think of it as a good alternative to traditional Christmas shows that maybe the kids have already seen,” Lasley said. “It will appeal to every age group. And we’re adding in some pop culture references and some other fun surprises.”

“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” • 7 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays; 2 and 7 p.m. Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays • Dec. 13 through Jan. 4 • Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre in Carmel • Tickets are $46.50 • The final performance on Jan. 4 will feature ASL interpretation for the deaf • For more information, call 843-3800 or visit www.civictheatre.org.

There are a handful of Christmas films that have endured over the years. Some of them we have watched so many times that theatre we can quote the lines. “Miracle on 34th Street,” “White Christmas,” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” to name a few. What do they all have in common? They are stories of friendship, family, love and redemption. “A Year with Frog and Toad” is one of those stories. “A Year with Frog and Toad,” performed by Actor’s Theatre of Indiana, follows the lives of two amphibian friends, lively and optimistic Frog and curmudgeonly Toad, through the four seasons. They, along with other animal friends, experience the same kinds of problems we all do in our dayto-day lives. They’re not happy with the way they look in a swimsuit but they’re still eating cookies with wild abandon. The score is filled with snappy, memorable tunes; catchy to adults and irresistible to children. “We first did this show in 2006, and the parents clamored for more performances,” said ATI’s artistic director, Don Farrell, who plays Toad. “They bought the soundtrack for their kids and they said that they listened to it in the car all the time. For many kids, this show will be their introduction to musical theatre, and it’s a great one.” “ATI’s season has been about friendship,” Farrell said. “Frog and Toad is particularly special to me because I get to portray the dear friend of

one of my own dearest friends, Bradley Reynolds, who plays Frog. This show is a wonderful way to bring families together.” Tim Hunt, Jessica Murphy and Mary Jane Waddell round out the cast. ATI is also adding a special performance with discounted ticket prices at 7 p.m. Dec. 17 for families with children or adults on the autism spectrum, in which they will provide a safe and comfortable environment for everyone to enjoy the show. “A Year with Frog and Toad” • Dec. 13 through 22. • 2:30 p.m. performance Dec. 22 will feature two ASL interpreters for the Deaf. • Studio Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. • Tickets start at $32.50. • For more information call all 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

As we said last week, now is a good time to do Christmas shopping for that tailgater on your list because every merchant seems to have a pre-Christmas sale going. Tailgating gadgets, which are basically camping gear, are marked down further because they are out-of-season. If you think about it, probably the only person that thinks camping gear is in season at this time of the year is someone who wants to try out for that Survivor Man series on TV featuring eight days lost in a Norwegian winter. During the season, we gave you lots of ideas for neat gifts. For an up-to-date list of suggestions with photos, details, and where-to-buy information, visit www.tailgatershandbook.com. Don’t forget that new aspect of tailgating – breakfast. It’s because we now have far too many games starting at noon. Just try to tell your kids that all games used to start at 1 p.m. They’ll never believe you. Noon games mean we need to start tailgating no later than 10 a.m. and that’s a perfect time, as the British say, for a “proper breakfast.” And that doesn’t mean just a cup of fast food coffee and a

muffin with egg and cheese. The tailgate host gets a chance to shine by offering a “just-like-Mom-used-to-make” breakfast with good hot coffee, eggs, bacon or sausage (heck – why not both) and hot biscuits or toast. Such a heartwarming meal is easy if you have the right equipment. You can brew a great pot of coffee at your tailgate with a Coleman propane coffee maker. It’s just like your coffee maker on the kitchen counter, only powered by propane instead of electricity. Then there’s the Coleman two-burner stove and oven, which also works on propane and easily packs into your car. Its oven holds bakingdish size items on two shelves and the burners are just right for two skillets. Buy your tailgater one of these and you’ll see smiles all around for seasons to come. For tailgating or that big shopping day, here’s another bar recipe:

Some illnesses are more common during certain seasons of the year, and winter is no exception. Symptoms of winwellness tertime ailments, such as the common cold, flu, bronchitis and pneumonia, can be similar, making it difficult to determine what illness you’re fighting, how to treat it and when to see your doctor. These basic guidelines may help. • Cold – A sore throat is often the first sign, followed by a runny nose, congestion and cough. Adults don’t generally run a fever with a cold, but children with colds may experience fever. Most people can expect to recover from a cold within about a week. • Flu – Common symptoms of flu – which can often appear suddenly – include sore throat, fever, headache, muscle and body aches, congestion and cough. Vomiting and diarrhea are also possible. If not effectively treated, the flu can cause complications, especially in older adults and people with heart and lung conditions. Talk to your doctor about the seasonal flu vaccine to help prevent flu. • Bronchitis – You may have bronchitis if you experience a hacking cough that lasts for several days; clear, phlegm; and soreness in the chest. Fever is not common with bronchitis, but low-grade fever can

See your doctor if the cough interferes with sleep or daily activities, if it lasts longer than a week or if symptoms worsen. • Pneumonia – There are two kinds of pneumonia – viral and bacterial. Bacterial pneumonia is more severe with symptoms that can include high fever, cough with thick mucus, shortness of breath, rapid breathing and sharp chest pain. If you have any signs of pneumonia, call your doctor right away. Immediate treatment may be necessary to avoid complications. When coughing is a symptom, be alert to the possibility of pertussis (whooping cough). Pertussis is highly contagious and can cause severe coughing that can last for up to 10 weeks or longer. The disease is particularly dangerous for young children, especially infants. A vaccine is available to prevent pertussis and is recommended for children and adults caring for young children.

Protected from identity theft? Commentary by Mark Wade

Every day on the radio and television, companies advertise how important it is for you to protect yourself from identity finance theft. The stories they tell are true, the problem is getting worse, and all of this is preventable. What most Indiana residents don’t realize is that the State has passed legislation to allow Indiana residents to protect themselves. It’s called a “credit freeze.” The biggest risk relating to identity theft is that someone obtains your personal information and uses that information to set up a credit card or other credit facility. This allows them then to borrow money and make purchases in your name. In an extreme case they may even buy a house or a car once this credit has been established. Once you have identified that your identity has been stolen, it can take a great deal of your time and money to unwind this debt in your name or separate yourself from the obligation. By the time you identify what is happening to you, the thieves have already realized the benefit of this devious conduct and are gone. So how does a credit freeze work? It’s really a simple process if you have access to the Internet. First, visit the Indiana Attorney General’s

Because you give...

Website at www.in.gov/attorneygeneral/2411. htm. Once on that Webpage you will see a listing of the three credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian and Transamerica. Underneath the name and address of each agency is a link, “Place a Security Freeze Online with …” Simply click on each link and follow the instructions for each agency to freeze your credit report. Make sure that you freeze all three agencies. Many states charge for each freeze. By Indiana law, there is no cost for this service. After you have completed this process, you will receive a PIN number from each of the agencies in the mail. Don’t lose these PIN numbers. Keep them in a safe place. If you need to secure credit or borrow money in the future, you will want to un-freeze your credit reports. You will need your PIN numbers to do this. This is a process that every Indiana resident should be aware of. Taking advantage of what our State government has created, with no cost to any resident, makes good financial sense. Especially considering the times we now live in.

Out-of-place pronouns

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: Will you please address the use of the following: “The President he is giving a speech,” as opposed to grammar guy what I was taught - “The President is giving a speech.” I’ve noticed lately that news anchors/ readers on both local and national/cable broadcasts are using the first example, and it drives me crazy! THANKS! (Susie in Zionsville) Answer: Susie, I don’t have an explanation for why newscasters would construct their sentences this way other than – if I may take the liberty of inventing a phrase – a case of “stumbly mouth.” We all remember the trials of high school speech class, and I, for one, am prone to forgive the occasional on-camera tongue slip. I mean, I can barely manage talking to myself. That being said, we certainly can take a look at why the above construction is wrong. It boils down to pronouns and the rules for their use. First: What is a pronoun? A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun or a noun phrase. The noun being substituted for is called the “antecedent.” To quickly illustrate the point, an example: “Ann grabbed the ball and then quickly ran it in for a touchdown.” The pronoun “it” takes the place of its antecedent “ball.” Pronouns have a lot of uses, but the most common one is to avoid repetition. This is the

case in our example sentence. Without a pronoun, we would have: “Ann grabbed the ball and then quickly ran the ball in for a touchdown.” Is it grammatically incorrect? No. Does it sound awkward and repetitive? You betcha. Pronouns come into play when we want to refer back to a noun in a later clause or phrase. I’m having trouble coming up with an occasion in which it would be appropriate to use a subject pronoun like “he” to refer back to an antecedent within the same phrase, i.e. “the president he is…” Why is this? Because the pronoun can effectively be read as its antecedent, meaning the sentence would be, “The president the president is giving a speech.” That takes repetition to a whole new level. You might see a noun and a pronoun right next to each other if they are separated by a comma, though, again, they would not be part of the same phrase or clause. Example: “Ann, she is my friend, scored a touchdown.” The main clause is “Ann scored a touchdown.” “She is my friend” serves as a parenthetical dependent clause. In conclusion: Is, “The president he is giving a speech,” correct? No. Do I think it’s a case of “stumbly mouth?” Yes. Am I overly enthusiastic about using the phrase “stumbly mouth?” Possibly.

Socialization of a puppy helps to prevent bites Commentary by Lisa Beals Approximately 4.5 million people are bit by dogs every year and about 885,000 require medical attention. Over half of these bites occur to children. Most of these bites should canines never have occurred if the owners had invested in socialization and obedience training for the dog and if the parents and children had knowledge of basic dog behavior. Early socialization of a puppy is an important first step in bite prevention. Through early supervised interactions with other puppies, dogs, children and adults, the puppy will learn to be comfortable in a variety of new situations as well as becoming accustomed to men in hats and beards and children with high pitched voices and fast movements. Interactive play is also where the puppy learns bite inhibition. Bite inhibition is the behavior of using a “soft mouth” without much pressure when the dog is playing with other dogs and humans and progressing to specific training such as learning to take treats gently from the hand or to teach impulse control with the command “leave it.”

Parents should be proactive in teaching their children how to interact with a dog in order to prevent a dangerous situation with a known dog or an unknown dog. Children should never approach an unknown dog, especially one running loose. If the dog approaches the child, he should be very quiet and stand very still “like a tree” with his hands at his side while avoiding direct eye contact with the dog. Once the dog loses interest, the child should slowly back away. In the event the dog starts to attack the child, he should curl up into a ball on the ground with his hands over his ears and remain motionless and as quiet as possible. When a dog is accompanied by its owner on a walk, the parent or child should always ask if the child can pet the dog. With the owner’s permission, the child can then quietly extend his hand to allow the dog to approach him and sniff his hand. Commercial ribbons or tags are available in yellow and red for the owner to attach to the dog’s leash indicating that the dog should be approached with caution or not at all. Dogs in the home can be the children’s best companion. However, certain safety measures need to be taken even with the family dog. Children and their friends should never disturb a sleep-

ing dog for fear of him snapping when he is startled. No matter how adorably cute they are, many dogs do not like to be hugged. Children should be taught to not hug the dog nor put their face in the dog’s face. Many facial bites requiring plastic surgery occur in this manner. Never pet or disturb a dog when he is eating; some dogs are “resource guarders” and are very protective of food and toys. If there is a party with lots of active children in the home, it is preferable to confine the dog to a safe place where he can relax away from the chaos of the day. Remember dog bites are preventable through basic training for the dog, the owner, the parent and the child. Ultimately, the dog owner must be responsible for the actions of his dog. Dogs are our best friends and it is our duty to help them feel safe and to protect anyone our dog may come in contact with.

Plaster cast of Pompeii victim (Photo by Don Knebel)

Does the Bible describe Pompeii? Commentary by Don Knebel

Because a volcanic eruption froze Pompeii forever in the first century, today’s visitors can explore an ancient city having ametravel nities still enviable by residents of some cities. Houses had running water, indoor toilets, colonnaded courtyards and colorful, if sometimes obscene, frescos. Scholars have long known that Pompeii’s destruction was chronicled by a famous eyewitness. Some believe its opulence and sudden demise are also described in the Bible. Pompeii was located on the Bay of Naples, about five miles from Mt. Vesuvius. Ash from past volcanic eruptions had made the surrounding soil unusually fertile. Pompeii’s proximity to the sea made it an attractive vacation destination for wealthy Romans and home to local merchants made rich importing luxury items. Pompeii residents were well known for their conspicuous consumption and enjoyment of pleasures of the flesh. With a population of maybe 10,000 people, Pompeii had more than 120 bars and up to 35 brothels, some displaying explicit pictures of their services. Pompeii and thousands of its inhabitants were destroyed in 79 A.D., when Vesuvius erupted with unexpected ferocity, quickly burying the city

under about 20 feet of pumice and ash. Plaster casts made from cavities formed around decayed bodies show many victims died suddenly while covering their faces to avoid the hot volcanic gases. The actual location of Pompeii was lost until 1599 when it was accidentally rediscovered and its buildings and art found to have been remarkably well preserved by the hardened ash. The story of Pompeii’s destruction is known from letters written by Pliny the Younger, who watched from across the bay as his uncle, a Roman sea captain named Pliny the Elder, attempted an unsuccessful rescue by boat. Pliny the Younger’s later letters documenting his persecution of Christians provide some of the earliest evidence of Christianity outside the Bible. It seems fitting that a growing number of scholars believe the Bible contains another account of Pompeii. The eighteenth chapter of Revelation describes God’s sudden annihilation of a great city by fire and dust because of its great wealth, excessive luxuries and carnal sins. The parallels are many and striking, as you can read for yourself. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit currentzionsville.com.

Existing basement adds architectural details

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING BASEMENT: This home located in the Springmill Ridge blueprint for addition improvement on the west side of Carmel was built in 1989. The basement was already completely finished but was lacking the architectural details the homeowners wanted. “We wanted to upgrade the basement,” stated the homeowner. “It was boring. We wanted to add a little character and make it a place we wanted to hang out in.” The homeowners wanted a rustic feel to the space, including a wine tasting area, which drove the design and material choices. STACKED STONE: A dry-stacked stone wall in Ledgewood Chisel Gray was installed on the TV wall, providing the look of a fireplace without having to actually build one. As a focal point of the basement, the style of the wall was carried out throughout the basement. DECORATIVE MOLDINGS: To add a more finished feel, wainscoting was added to most of the basement walls. Columns and a decorative wall were added to create a drink ledge near the

before & after

main bar area. Faux columns gave an exceptionally long wall purpose by creating a niche for family photos. CUSTOM SHELVING: Having a place for the family’s memorabilia collection was included in the final design as well. Floating stained shelving was custom built around the items they would hold. Beyond their functionality, the shelves were designed in varying depths and lengths to add dimension to the long, flat wall. WINE TASTING AREA: To bring the expansive space of the lower level into a comfortable scale, multiple seating and activity areas were created.

FINAL RESULTS: “We have had a few parties since the remodel,” stated the homeowner. “Before, there was never enough space for people to sit. Now there are many choices. Our family is now using the basement together, and will even more now that the weather is turning colder.”

A bar, a TV-viewing area and a pool table took up the most space. Stacked stone surrounds a curved decorative door and wine racking to create the wine tasting area. A bar-height table and chairs near the picture nook create another gathering space.
