Dan “I didn’t think it was possible to lose 65 pounds, but Jeff makes the impossible possible. What Jeff has done to change my life is worth the investment I made in my health. I’m no longer taking prescription drugs for cholesterol, blood pressure or diabetes. Jeff is an incredible trainer and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to change their life.”

– Dan

Sherri “Before I worked with Jeff, I spent thousands of dollars and more than two years working with an Indianapolis personal trainer, but I didn’t drop a single pound of weight. But in just 24 personal training sessions with Jeff, I lost 22 lbs. and several inches. I can’t say enough about Jeff and the difference between him and other personal trainers.”

– Anita

“It is not the weight loss so much as the muscle I gained... I love fitting into new clothes that I haven’t worn in years. I’ve lost 40 lbs. and 35 inches. Thank you so much Jeff!!!”

EVENTS

Zionsville Optimist Club Hits st the Bricks for the 31 Time On October 5, the Zionsville Optimist Club will sponsor the 31st annual “Hit the Bricks” five mile run and three mile run/walk. The event starts at 8:05 am at Zionsville Community High School (ZCHS).

Dr. Jim Haines, cofounder of the event and race director for the first 10 years, says this is one of the longest “running” events in the state. “Hit the Bricks” was the brainchild of Dr. Haines and his friend and fellow Optimist, Ross

Hubbard. Since its inception, the run has been one of the primary fundraisers for the Zionsville Optimist Club and has raised over $250,000 over the past 30 years.

Dr. Haines emphasized that the money raised by the “Hit the Bricks” event stays local and is used to fund a number of local youth projects.

Among the youth projects that it funds is a $4,000 scholarship for a student attending a four-year college and one for $1,000 given to a student attending a vocational/trade school. The Optimist Club also supports the local Boys & Girls Club, Little League baseball and ZCHS After Prom.

Gift certificates to the Athletic

Annex for $100, $50 and $25 will be awarded to the top three overall male and female finishers. In addition to those given to the top finishers, there will be numerous prize drawings for us “middle of the pack” runners.

Everyone has a chance to come home a winner, especially the youth projects supported by the Zionsville Optimist Club.

This year’s Optimist Club coordinator for the event is Paul Caltrider (cridervp@aol.com). For more information and to register online, visit tuxbro.com. Dr. Haines expresses the Optimist Club’s great appreciation to ZCHS and the Zionsville Police and Rescue Departments for their assistance over the years.

ZIONSVILLE EYECARE A Zionsville Tradition of Providing a Superior Patient Experience

Dr. Ami Fraser, Dr. James Haines, Dr. Tammy Witman and Dr. Nicholas Garn | Neil Lucas As we all know, medical care in general and eyecare in particular have undergone a tremendous change over the past 20 years with the rise of large national/regional corporate healthcare providers. In many instances, it seems as the providers got larger, the level of personal service declined. Today we are not surprised when the eye doctor we saw last visit is no longer there, and the level of personal service we have come to expect as patients is determined by the chain’s bottom line. However, locally-owned Zionsville Eyecare provides an outstanding alternative to the national trend of revolving eye doctors and impersonal service.

Zionsville Eyecare was founded by Dr. James Haines at its present location of 1375 Parkway Dr. 16 years ago. For over 30 years, Dr. Haines and his staff have been dedicated to providing a superior patient experience at an affordable price to the Zionsville community. In order to provide that superior patient experience, Zionsville Eyecare understands and embraces the importance of building personal relationships with its patients and instilling that philosophy throughout its organization. As Dr. Haines likes to say, “Zionsville Eyecare is dedicated to developing personal relationships by turning new patients into good friends.”

One of the reasons Zionsville Eyecare has been so

9/25/2013 5:37:42 PM

L O C A L B UF SE IANTEUSRSEED S

successful in building personal relationships with its patients is the continuity of its doctors and staff over the years and their involvement in the community. Not surprisingly, Dr. Haines’ roots in Zionsville run deep.

He was raised in Zionsville and is a 1972 graduate of Zionsville Community High School (ZCHS). Dr. Haines and his wife of 29 years, Julie, raised two children in Zionsville and have a 14-month-old granddaughter. Dr. Haines actually began his practice over 30 years ago when he joined an existing practice in Zionsville fresh out of optometry school and after serving two years active duty in the US Navy as a medical service corps officer in Hawaii.

In 2000, Zionsville Eyecare hired a young man named Nick Garn as an optometric technician. At the time of his hire, Nick had just graduated from college. After working as a technician for Zionsville Eyecare for two years, Nick enrolled in optometry school, and upon his graduation in 2006, he rejoined Zionsville Eyecare as one of its doctors.

Dr. Garn lives in Zionsville with his wife of 10 years, Laura, and their 2 1/2-year-old daughter. Dr. Garn has been a partner in Zionsville Eyecare with Dr. Haines since 2010.

Dr. Haines, Dr. Garn and their staff have been committed to service to their patients and the Zionsville area at large. Dr. Haines has been a member of the Zionsville Optimist Club for over 30 years. He has also been active in the Boys & Girls Club of Zionsville where he served as Board President and chairman of the club’s new building capital campaign.

Dr. Garn and his wife are very active in Freedom Church of Lebanon and its youth ministry program known as “The Revolution.” This program ministers to 50-70 youths from

all over Boone County every Wednesday evening. Senior Optician Lenny Eastin received the distinguished “Dahlia Award” in 2009 from the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce for his contributions to the Zionsville community. Zionsville Eyecare has also been a long-time financial supporter and contributor to the ZCHS athletic and arts programs.

The quality of the eyecare is certainly important to providing a superior patient experience. To assure that their patients receive the highest quality of eyecare, Zionsville Eyecare recently installed in its office a cutting edge retinal imaging instrument called the Optomap. The Optomap’s capabilities are so dramatic that it has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show. No other eyecare provider in the state has an Optomap equipped with the level of functionality as Zionsville Eyecare.

Opticians, Heather Stroud, Lenny Eastin & Ciera Miller Because of the nature of the retina and the outstanding imaging capabilities of the Optomap at Zionsville Eyecare, the doctors are able to detect eye conditions as well as early signs of several diseases including stroke, heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. The Optomap at Zionsville Eyecare truly puts its doctors on the cutting edge of diagnostic technology.

In addition to the latest diagnostic technology, Zionsville Eyecare also boasts two doctors who have been recognized by their peers for their outstanding service to the profession.

Dr. Haines was named by the Indiana Optometric Association as the “Optometrist of the Year” in 2013, and Dr. Garn was named by the Association as Indiana’s “Outstanding Young Optometrist” in 2012.

The doctors at Zionsville Eyecare are experienced in diagnosing and treating many eye conditions including dry eyes, ocular allergies, eye infections and injuries as well as working in collaboration with some of central Indiana’s best sub-specialist ophthalmologists in LASIK, cataracts, eyelid procedures and retinal surgery.

Zionsville Eyecare specializes in contact lens success for its patients and offers the highest quality and value in eyewear.

Cheap eyeglasses are marketed by competitors for inferior products and outdated technology fit by inexperienced opticians.

TARA CLAGHORN: LIVING LIFE Despite daily struggles, breast cancer survivor embraces life | Ann Craig-Cinnamon . Photo | JJ Kaplan

T

here are lots of stories about breast cancer. Some are inspiring, some are a celebration of triumph, and unfortunately, some are sad in their outcome. But generally, they are hopeful because there has been so much advancement in both the treatment and the discussion of this terrible disease that once lived in the shadows.

Every once in a while, there’s a story that makes you stop and think and reconsider the way you live your own life. There is such a story tucked away on First Street in Zionsville at Claghorn Custom Flooring. As a customer, you would have no idea that Tara Claghorn is living in what she calls a “broken body.”

zionsville C O M M U N I T Y

Zionsville_October_2013.indd 14

By all appearances, she looks great: attractive, well-dressed, functioning highly at her job in her husband, Kent’s, business. You’d be shocked to learn that not only is she a breast cancer survivor, but that she has so many other conditions since being diagnosed and treated that she takes 17 different prescription medications every single day.

Tara is the mother of a 21-year-old Purdue pre-vet student and a 16-yearold who attends Zionsville Community High School. She spent 25 years in the restaurant business as the owner/operator of a couple restaurants and had a goal of getting a doctorate in psychology and working in the Corrections field.

About seven years ago, she noticed a

lump in her breast and went in for tests including mammograms and MRIs but was told she did not have cancer.

She went three years with a missed diagnosis. “I knew I had cancer before I was diagnosed, but everybody said I didn’t. But I could feel it. It was a very hard tumor,” says Tara. “I was diagnosed in June 2009, and in March 2009, you could actually see my tumor from the outside, it was so big. But they kept telling me not to worry about it and come back in six months.”

There were other major signs that something was wrong too. Tara says she suffered from severe hives. In fact, she says they were so bad that her eyes would swell shut and her throat would

close up, and she couldn’t breathe. After a few trips to the emergency room, her husband insisted that she find out what was going on. She transferred her medical files from a doctor in Anderson to a practice in Indianapolis and was diagnosed right away with Stage 2 breast cancer.

Here’s a shocking part of the story: in personally picking up her medical file, she found a lab report from 2008 that clearly indicated that she had cancer, but no one told her. “From that, I have learned that we are so in charge of our own healthcare. That no matter what you have done, you need to have a copy of it. They have hundreds of patients, and you only have you,” Tara warns.

So over the course of just 14 months, she had 12 surgeries including the removal of both breasts. She endured 16 weeks of strong chemotherapy and had her ovaries removed, sending her into instant menopause. All that and she was only 37

years old. That might be the end of the story for 90 percent of women who are treated for breast cancer. They go into remission and go on with their lives.

But Tara is in that 10 percent that suffers with post-cancer health problems. Four years later, she lives with a degenerative spine that is painful and does not allow her to lift anything more than five pounds. She has a tumor on her adrenal gland that the doctors are watching. She has COPD. The fibromyalgia that she had prior to her cancer diagnosis has returned with a vengeance, and she has memory loss and problems focusing because of all the chemo and pain medication she is on.

“I sound like a crazy person when you hear all the problems that I have,” she laughs. Her daily regimen includes inhalers, pain medication, thyroid medication, more medication for the cancer and something for the narcolepsy that all the medication causes. She

Though medical professionals won’t confirm it, Tara believes that all the chemotherapy has caused many of her current problems. “I don’t think people understand that surviving is sometimes as difficult as the sickness,” she asserts.

These issues that Tara deals with every day are what she calls her “new normal.”

“Everything in our life gives us a new normal. Whether it’s a divorce, a death, a new child or whatever, we all have to learn a new normal. What matters is whether we embrace it, accept it, deal with it and enjoy it, or we let it drag us down. I think we have that choice.

Life’s hard enough without making it harder on ourselves by not just saying ‘hey, it’s good. It’s going to rain today.

I wish it wouldn’t, but it’s going to rain today.’”

A part of her new normal is having the energy to work only a few hours a day and requiring more time to do everything because of focus issues, but she says she wants to work. “I work not because I have to, but because it’s what keeps me sane. I don’t want to sit at home. You can sit at home and be sick, or you can be out in the world living your life, so you have to make that choice. It’s very easy to get involved in your sickness or your issues, run with that and be miserable, or you can enjoy your life. Something I’ve learned is that you can live life or live sick, and I didn’t want to live sick.”

Even when she found out just how sick she was, Tara’s instinct was to finish something she had started that was important to her. She went back to college to take the one course that had been standing in her way of getting her bachelor’s degree. “I played with my education for a long time. I had one class to take to get my degree, and I

decided I was not going to die of cancer without my bachelor’s degree. So while I was going through treatment, I took that last class,” she says and adds that it wasn’t easy taking a class in statistics while suffering from chemo brain.

It is often said that going through a near-death experience is actually a lifeaffirming experience. Tara says her illness is one of the best things that ever happened to her because she appreciates everything so much more. “I’ve learned so many lessons from it about life, about people and about relationships. I’ve also learned how important it is for us to be in control of ourselves instead of just sitting back, letting things pass us by and letting people tell us what to do. I don’t think I trust less.

I just trust differently,” says Tara.

She strongly advocates that women get tested, and if you think something is wrong, it probably is. Despite the great healthcare she says she now receives, Tara says she still asks questions and finds out what every lab test result means.

Despite her daily struggles, Tara Claghorn has an inspiring attitude. “My body is broken, but my spirit isn’t. I wake up every morning happy to be here. I think a lot of people don’t. They forget how important every day is, especially at my age. We think we’re going to live forever, and we’re never going to get old. Well I did get old very quickly. The things that used to matter, the things that used to cause drama, are not important anymore,” she says.

So the next time you’re having a bad day and wishing you could just curl up in bed and not face the world, think of Tara who gives it everything she’s got every day to get out of bed because she so wants to face the world. And she does it with a smile on her face and a glow from within.

Good Habits at Every Stage of Life | Dr. Sarah Stephenson, OB-GYN Breast cancer activists have done a great job of keeping breast cancer front and center as a public health concern. During the month of October, Breast Cancer Awareness pink ribbons are practically everywhere, causing women to take screening more seriously. This boost for early detection should be a reminder to take preventive measures for your health as a whole. At every age and stage of a woman’s life, there are realistic ideas for managing all aspects of her health.

Get Regular Checkups & Screenings Starting in their 20s, women should begin general health screenings, even if they experience no symptoms. This includes: • Monthly self-breast exams • An annual pelvic exam • A Pap test at least every three years up to age 29 • A Pap test and HPV test every five years from age 30 to 65 • A clinical breast exam every three years up to the age of 39 • A clinical breast exam and mammogram every year starting at age 40 • A bone density test at least once at menopause Regular checkups are especially important throughout preconception, pregnancy and menopause.

Preconception: If pregnancy is in the forecast, women should start talking with their physicians about nutritional habits and discuss any current health conditions or risks before conception.

Pregnancy: A prenatal care provider typically schedules regular visits and discusses nutritional needs during pregnancy. At visits, the healthcare provider will administer prenatal 18

zionsville c o m m u n i t y

Zionsville_October_2013.indd 18

exams, perform routine ultrasounds to observe the baby’s development and explain any recommendations and restrictions during the pregnancy and postpartum periods.

Menopause: Women typically reach menopause, the cessation of menstrual periods, between ages 40 and 58, but perimenopause can begin much earlier. These hormonal changes sometimes give women a range of side effects and symptoms including: • Difficulty sleeping • Hot flashes • Missed periods • Night sweats • Low estrogen levels that weaken bones and increase the likelihood of osteoporosis • Weight gain • Moodiness Physical activity has a multitude of benefits for menopausal women.

Exercise can strengthen your bones, keep diseases like diabetes and heart disease at bay, slim your waistline and improve your sleep, not to mention your sense of well-being.

Be Aware of the Risks to Women Another way to be proactive with your health is to be aware of the top diseases that affect women and what you can do to lower your risk.

Heart Disease Recent figures from the National Center for Health Statistics show that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women. The risk increases with age, but heart disease can strike during youth too. The good news: you can prevent heart disease by checking your blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels and keeping them within a normal range. Regular cardiovascular exercise combined with a diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables

can help you maintain an ideal weight and keep your heart strong.

Lung Cancer Surprisingly, lung cancer causes more deaths in women than breast cancer and leads cancer deaths among the population as a whole. Although it can be caused by exposure to radon, 80 percent of lung cancer deaths are related to smoking. Recent data on secondhand smoke suggests women should also be wary of environments where they are exposed to smoking. If you haven’t already given it up, quit smoking today.

Breast Cancer Breast cancer falls behind lung cancer in cause of death, but one out of eight women will be diagnosed with it. A big part of prevention includes regular screenings as prescribed by age, knowing your risk factors and making lifestyle changes for risks within your influence.

(See the guidelines for conducting a breast self-exam on page 20). Among the factors that can predispose you: • Age: Your risk goes up starting at age 40 • Alcohol use: Drinking more than two glasses of alcohol a day • Dense breast tissue • Gender: It’s more common in women, but men aren’t immune • Family history of breast cancer • Hormone replacement therapy with estrogen over the course of several years • Menstrual cycle history: It’s higher for women who got their periods before age 12 or who began menopause after age 55 • Obesity or being overweight • Women who have never given birth or who gave birth after age 30

Colorectal Cancer A low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables may decrease your risk of colorectal cancer which has been growing, especially in people age 50 and older. High-risk populations include anyone with: • A personal or family history of colorectal cancer • Polyps in the colon or rectum • Inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease Early detection is the key to treating this disease. The American Cancer Society advocates screenings at age 50. Tests include: • Flexible sigmoidoscopy • Colonoscopy • Double-contrast barium enema • CT colonography Cervical Cancer More than 12,000 women in the US are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year. When it’s detected in its precancerous condition, it’s usually treatable. Most cases are associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV) which is spread through sexual intercourse. If you’re sexually active, make sure your partner uses condoms.

Girls and women between the ages of 9 and 26 may also consider getting a cervical cancer vaccine. The vaccine is most effective before exposure to HPV, so 11 or 12 is a good age to be vaccinated.

Diabetes Nearly 11 percent of all women over the age of 20 have diabetes. Some women may develop diabetes during pregnancy that disappears after their child is born, but they are at an increased risk for Type 2 diabetes later in life. Risk factors include: • A pre-diabetes glucose reading • Being over the age of 45 • Family history • Being overweight • Not getting regular exercise • Having high blood pressure

• Racial background (higher prevalence in African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian and Asian/Pacific Islander women) You can often prevent or delay diabetes through a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and a balanced diet.

Early Detection May Save Your Life Why is early detection so important for breast cancer survival? When breast cancers are found before they cause symptoms, they tend to be smaller and more confined to the breast. That makes it more treatable and increases the survival rate for women who are diagnosed.

All women should be familiar with the look and feel of their breasts, so they can easily notice any differences. Changes don’t necessarily mean you have cancer, but you should seek a doctor’s evaluation if you notice a change. For women who monitor regularly or even occasionally, the best time is when the breasts are not tender or swollen.

in the right breast. Use circular motions of the finger pads to feel the breast tissue.

• Use three levels of pressure to feel all the breast tissue: - Light pressure: Feel the tissue closest to the skin - Medium pressure: Feel a little deeper - Firm pressure: Feel the tissue closest to the chest and ribs - Move around the breast in an up and down pattern, starting from the underarm and moving across the breast to the middle of the chest bone.

- Repeat this process for the other breast.

Join us Saturday, October 5 from 10am 2pm for health screenings, wellness and beauty services and health chats with physicians and other health professionals.

Women often assume a caretaker role with family and friends, but the Women’s Health Celebration is all about WOMEN. Bring your sister, your mom, your grandma and your girlfriends and be ready for a day of pampering and wellness. This event is FREE to the public. Attendees will receive swag bags filled with information, coupons and other girlie goodies (while supplies last).

You can also register for numerous free prizes from local businesses.

Here are guidelines for conducting a breast self-exam: • Lie down and place your right arm behind your head.

• Use the finger pads of the three middle fingers on your left hand to feel for lumps

| Neil Lucas . Photos | JJ Kaplan Have you ever walked into your house after a long day’s work and looked at your dog and asked, “How was your day?” Naturally, your dog responds with that look that says, “Well, the highlight for me was climbing up on the counter as soon as you left. Then I was so bored, I had to chew on those new pillows you like so much, and finally I pretty much slept for eight hours, so that I would have plenty of energy for when you got home.”

ZIONSVILLE COUNTRY KENNEL Kennel Camp: Who Let the Dogs Out?

You may avoid this uncomfortable conversation with your dog if you take him or her to Kennel Camp at Zionsville Country Kennel located at 5370 S. Indianapolis Road, two miles west of Zionsville.

unique is its 15 acres and its’ dedicated caring staff. By having so much land to operate, ZCK offers multiple large areas for your dog to run and have fun with other dogs of the same size and temperament.

While Kennel Camp is a very popular service at Zionsville Country Kennel, it is just one of the many offered by this full service pet care facility. Zionsville Country Kennel also offers boarding, grooming, training and even massages for your pets. What makes ZCK

Kennel Camp is a doggie play day that provides your dog with socialization and exercise with other dogs while they are supervised by a trained staff member in one of their large yards containing agility equipment to climb, balls to fetch and swimming pools

to cool off and relax. To ensure the proper care and attention to the dogs while they play, the average ratio of dogs to staff anytime the dogs are outside is 15:1. You don’t have to make an appointment to take your dog to Kennel Camp, but your dog must first go through a free assessment to determine in which group your dog would have the most fun. Kennel Camp is offered for half or full days.

You can drop off your dog as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick him or her up before 6:00 p.m. Having your dog

spend the day in Kennel Camp is a great way to avoid you’re having to face that sorry look in their eyes after they have been stuck in the house all day or facing the dog that is bouncing off the walls from boredom the minute you step in the door.

ZCK has been around for over twenty years. Its current owners, Deb and Ron Douglas, purchased the facility from its original owners in 2010.

When Deb decided to make a career change, her love of animals caused her

to look at pet care facilities all over the country. She was so impressed with the longevity and caring attitude of the existing staff, its outstanding reputation in the community and its loyal customer base, Deb decided to purchase Zionsville County Kennel.

Deb is a hands-on owner involved in managing the daily operations and actually has a home on-site.

Since becoming the owner, Deb has invested greatly in the facilities for the safety and enjoyment of the pets and convenience of their owners. She is currently expanding the Bark Park with two ponds for those dogs that love to play in the water. The Bark Park provides a dog’s owner with a secure and unlimited dawn to dusk facility to take their dog to exercise.

In addition to expanding the Bark Park, several “Deluxe Suites” have also been added. These suites have a cozy inside area with raised bedding while also offering a spacious private yard that the dogs can access at their pleasure.

Dogs staying in these suites not only enjoy deluxe accommodations, but also receive a great deal of personal attention from the concierge staff (brushing, petting, etc.) at least five times a day. october 2013

For cat owners, ZCK provides boarding in a secluded area called the “Cattery”. All cats stay in a two-level condo that is approximately 3’ wide and 6’ tall which includes scratching posts. Each cat is provided the opportunity periodically to stretch their legs, explore the entire Cattery and look out the large picture windows at the bird feeders.

ZCK provides outstanding service to all kinds of pets. Because it’s a locally owned and operated family business, they have the flexibility to provide services some large corporate facilities might not. If there is something special your pet needs, just talk to Deb or her staff. They strive to accommodate special needs of pet owners.

O

ur hostess and local artist, Nancy Noel, welcomes us once again into The Sanctuary for a night of mysticism, pageantry and fundraising. Noel hosted the inaugural “Masquerade on Main” in 2012 as a fundraiser for the N.A. Noel Preschool located in Kenya. With over 175 in attendance, the bal masqué or masquerade ball was held at the Colours Restaurant inside The Sanctuary, located on the historical brick street in downtown Zionsville.

Noel and her staff entertained their guests with live minstrels, stilt walkers dressed as mummies, fortune tellers, delectable treats, and of course, the opportunity to view the gallery of Noel’s works by candlelight. Her collection features subjects, both natural and mystical, and creates the ideal ambience for this event. The guests were adorned in an array of costumes and colors, some were custom designed and handmade. The cast of characters that filled the halls and rooms of The Sanctuary represented many time periods, countries, legends and myths.

Hosting this event, Noel pays homage to a centuries-old exhibition of mystery, fantasy and celebration. The concept of the masquerade ball was introduced in the 15th century

as allegorical tributes to Royal Entries, court weddings and other notable events of that era. Progressing into the later centuries, the balls were transformed into public festivals associated primarily with the traditions of the Venetian Carnival. Elaborate costumes and masks were prevalent at these balls until the end of the 18th century and the fall of the Venetian Republic.

Over the ages, many literary and cultural references have been made to masquerade balls. Authors such as Shakespeare, Gaston Leroux and Edgar Allan Poe have set poignant and memorable scenes in a sea of jovial and mysterious paper faces.

In present day North America, black tie galas and costume parties are the descendants of the traditional balls and masquerades. Additionally, there has been a shift in the culture’s celebratory traditions with an emphasis on current pop culture rather than on a festival’s origin, specifically regarding Halloween. “All Hallows’ Eve” or “All Saints’ Eve” was originally inspired by harvest feasts and festivals celebrating the dead. While not a federal holiday, Halloween is observed in the US and celebrated in today’s society with haunted houses, bonfires, trick-or-treating and zombie walks.

Noel expressed her sentiments on the cultural changes and how Americans of this era celebrate Halloween in a published article a few years ago. “I focused my dissertation on my personal feelings and the fact that people and organizations were backing area haunted houses that were grotesque and violent in theme. They continue to promote 3D violence,” Noel said. “These venues are designed to scare people and children. While I understand that some adults and children like to be scared, the concept of Halloween has been lost in translation. It is supposed to be about the giving of treats, dressing up and embracing life after life and not about the ‘Chain Saw Massacre.’”

Noel had an idea to take the experience that guests of The Sanctuary have daily upon stepping into the foyer and expounded on that energy by hosting the first “Masquerade on Main” ball last October. “On a everyday basis, there is a lot of great spirit energy at The Sanctuary,” Noel explained. “Guests and staff tell us this every day. This is a wonderful place for people to gather together in costumes, many of which are forms of art, and allow them to ‘get into character’ and do this legitimately for one night of the year.”

Guests of this year’s “Masquerade on Main” can expect to experience the same high level of detail with festive decorations, access to newly renovated rooms and the lower level featuring additional haunting and inspiring works by Nancy Noel.

Main Street will be closed off to vehicular traffic in front of The Sanctuary, and attendees can warm themselves near a bonfire and exchange conversation with old friends and new friends. Though, in costume, it may be hard to discern with whom one is conversing.

A seasonal menu of appetizing items from Noel’s Colours Restaurant will be served to the evening’s guests as part of the admission fee, and a cash bar will be available throughout the evening.

Local celebrity judges will present awards for the “Best Costume” for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. This year’s judges include Sherman Burdette, on-air personality and feature reporter for Fox59 morning news, and Nancy Noel. The selected winners will receive limited edition prints ranging in values from $250 to $500.

Tarot card readings will be provided by empath and medium Karen Hagemeier. Hagemeier’s services include reiki, readings and paranormal investigations. Angel readings will be provided by Donna Cook who is an ordained minister, reiki master/healer and spiritual counselor.

Guests of last year’s ball are enthusiastically talking up this event and planning their attire for this year’s costume contest. Ruth Miles, a Zionsville resident, attended last year disguised as the sultry “Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.”

“The mood was set as soon as you walked in the door, and with Nancy’s art, it had this ethereal yet Halloween quality,” Miles said. “It was a magical evening and the best costume party I’ve ever been to, hands down. I’d invite people who haven’t been to go out and exercise their inner goblin or princess and bring their friends. They won’t be disappointed.”

While the evening is designed to entertain and evoke the senses (all six of them) of the attending guests, the primary purpose of the night is to raise funds and awareness for 34

the Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home located in Lebanon, Indiana. The home was organized in 1915 and moved to its present location in Lebanon in 1922. The home first served as a home for orphans and is currently operating as a treatment facility dedicated to helping emotionally troubled youth struggling with a variety of challenges including abuse and drug use. Proceeds raised this evening will benefit the home and assist with their needs in the upcoming holiday season.

“Masquerade on Main” will be held Saturday, October 26 from 7-11 pm. Tickets are available for purchase at The Sanctuary and online, in advance for $25/person and $30 at the door.

Lori Bankert

Living for a Reason & a Season

Story & Photos | JJ Kaplan

ake a drive north up Michigan Road from Zionsville, and you can’t help but notice a sea of orange pumpkins and several signs welcoming you to Pumpkinfest at The Country Market. Once there, you are surrounded by pumpkins of various colors, Indian corn, corn stalks, gourds, mums and all the delightful sights and aromas of the fall harvest. While The Country Market operates all year under the close-knit Bankert family, Pumpkinfest is the seasonal business of Lori and John Bankert.

Both Lori and John came from a farming background and large families in which hard work and working together were required. Their strong work ethic continues today as they create a unique experience at The Country Market during the month of October. This month, thousands will come to experience fall in the country. Pumpkinfest is a celebration of the harvest of Indiana…something that many people these days don’t have the opportunity to experience due to the declining number of family farms.

Pumpkinfest began as their own family business in 1999.

Lori and John agreed that she should be available to spend time at home to raise their youngest child, Kaitlyn. Lori still wanted to work and also the freedom to be with Kaitlyn at her discretion. Of all the seasons, fall was their favorite and the one they decided to focus upon and to pour their energy into. Initially, she and John had a wagon at The Country Market that operated on the honor system. Tomatoes, sweet corn, pumpkins, gourds, corn stalks and more were available to purchase…folks just put their money in the coffee can on the hay wagon.

What began as a vegetable stand by the side of the road has exploded into a thriving business known as Pumpkinfest. Soon they added farm animals including goats, sheep, calves, pigs, chickens, ponies and donkeys. Eventually the Bankerts added pony rides and a corn maze along with a bee observatory, moo-choo train and a 100 foot slide down the hill!

Giant 100 pound pumpkins are available to purchase. These massive pumpkins sell quickly and can be the source of a great evening of carving and decorating at home. Many aspiring photographers have carved out the pumpkins and then photographed babies and children inside. For anyone that calls their child their little “punkin,” this is the ultimate photography background!

John recalls one of his favorite memories: a little girl hugging a small pumpkin and rocking side to side after she finished her hayride to the pumpkin patch. She told him, John, Lori & Kaitlyn Bankert-owners of Pumpkinfest

“This is the best day of my life!” Notes of appreciation fill their notebook of keepsake memories. Lori believes that she is blessed to come from a farming background and wants to share it with others. Her energy, optimism and zest for living are highly contagious!

The Bankert’s greatest joy is to provide a place for people, young and old alike, to come and enjoy the bounty of our Indiana crops. Every weekend in October, families can come to The Country Market to experience great food, bluegrass bands, crops, animals and the joy of being in the country. They also offer field trips for children from preschool through second grade as well as corporate events during the evening.

If you are looking for a reason to get out and enjoy this glorious season, plan to attend Pumpkinfest at The Country Market, 795 S. US Hwy. 421 in Zionsville. Located just five miles north of Zionsville on SR 421 (Michigan Road) or ½ mile south of SR 32 on SR 421 (Michigan Road). Visit thepumpkinfest.com for full weekly schedule and details.

Not long after, her daughter was upstairs in her bedroom. She heard a sound on the stairs, and it came to a stop right outside the bedroom door.

She assumed that her teenage brother was pulling a prank on her. Quietly, she tiptoed to her bedroom door to try to catch him. As she threw open the door, she looked into the hall and fully expected to see her brother. But there was no one there. She hopped back into her bed, terrified, and didn’t tell her mother until the next day.

It’s Just Edna

A Zionsville Ghost Tale Story & Photos | JJ Kaplan This tale begins in a small house in a village known as Zionsville. The names have been changed, so local villagers do not suspect our friend to be less than sane. However, if you’ve had the pleasure of meeting “Suzie,” I think you would agree that she is very sane. The following are events as she has recounted them to me while she and her family have lived in her little house in Zionsville.

Suzie and her family purchased their charming historic 1858 home in the fall 1992. Her realtor gave her a photo of the house from times gone by that appears on this page. Perhaps the figures standing on the front porch in the photo should have given Suzie an inkling of what her future with this house would be.

It is critical to this story that you envision the size of her charming little home. Because it is tiny and cozy, you know everything that’s going 38

zionsville c o m m u n i t y

Zionsville_October_2013.indd 38

on in the house. There is only one staircase, leading from the living room downstairs to three bedrooms upstairs.

Because of its size, there is nowhere to hide, and every creek and squeak can be heard.

Less than a year after moving into her house, Suzie was sitting alone in her living room after everyone had left for the day. With her children in school and her husband at work, she knew that she was alone that morning.

Clearly and succinctly, Suzie heard rhythmic footsteps going up her wooden staircase. Step by step by step, the sound continued until it reached the top. Then it stopped. So did Suzie’s heart!

A short while later, Suzie’s middle school-aged son was the last one to leave the house for school in the morning. He had a Nintendo game in his bedroom but no cable or TV shows.

He came downstairs to eat breakfast but noticed the sound of a TV coming from his bedroom upstairs.

Naturally, he went upstairs and turned it off. Halfway down the stairs, the TV came on again. Hmmmm. He turned around to go back up to his bedroom, and halfway there, it turned off by itself.

One by one, each family member experienced something that was not explainable. They each have heard rhythmic steps on the stairs that stop once they reach the top of the stairwell.

There have been other events, too, that have gone beyond sounds. One afternoon, Suzie was preparing dinner.

Across the top of the kitchen cabinets,

She was frozen with fear sitting in her oversized chair and didn’t dare move until her family came home. She was completely terrorized by the footsteps on the stairs. She was scared to death. Not surprisingly, no one believed her.

she had various decorative plates.

Out of the blue, one plate fell from its place on the top of the cabinet to the floor. Then another plate fell 10 seconds later. Then another plate fell approximately 10 seconds later.

Finally, a fourth plate fell about 10 seconds after that. In all, four separate plates fell at four separate times, all about 10 seconds apart from each other.

Some have tried to explain this by saying there could have been moving trucks on the delivery route behind her home. A rumbling truck in a 30 mile speed limit may cause, perhaps, a large vibration, but it is unlikely to cause four separate vibrations in 10 second intervals, each large enough to cause plates to fall from the cabinets.

Surprisingly, no other objects or glassware were disrupted?

On another occasion, Suzie hosted a baby shower in her living room.

Someone asked her where her family members were. They had all left for the day. One guest asked Suzie who the man wearing a white T-shirt was that just walked up the stairs. No one else saw him. The one person that saw the vision of the man was visibly distraught when informed it was not a member of the family. Suzie then came up with an explanation, “It’s just Edna.”

A long time ago when we carried pagers, Suzie’s husband received a

page in the middle of the night. He got up to use the phone in the kitchen.

Suzie was awakened also, so she got up to get a drink of water. Both Suzie and her husband went back to bed. Within 15 minutes when they were both about to fall asleep, they both began to hear distinct voices outside their bedroom door. The sounds were clear enough to decipher yet still too faint to identify.

All Suzie and her husband knew is that they BOTH heard voices right outside their bedroom door, and there were no other people in the house.

A few years ago, Suzie was outside working in her garden. The cable repair man was coming and was supposed to call in advance of his visit. However, he didn’t make the call and just stopped by the house. He knocked and peeked his head into her front porch.

He heard a woman talking upstairs and assumed that someone was home, so he entered the house and announced who he was. Every time he spoke, the voice stopped. Eventually the voice continued, and he repaired the cable service.

When he was done, he tried to find the owner of the home. The voice had subsided. He called Suzie’s cell phone, and to his utter surprise, he learned that she had been in the backyard the entire time. He wanted to know whose voice was coming from upstairs, so Suzie replied, “It’s just Edna.” When she explained her situation, the cable repairman ran out of the house.

Many have tried to offer explanations to these sounds and events. The home was built in 1858. Maybe the noise on the stairway was the house settling as all homes do. However, that would not sound like a series of rhythmic noises.

And then how do you explain noises that stop at the top of the stairs? Suzie is currently hearing footsteps on the stairs approximately twice a week.

All of Suzie’s family has experienced the entity, most commonly known as Edna. No one from her family has seen her/him. They don’t experience chills anymore. There is no sound of a dragging chain or other stereotypical movie soundtrack images. It’s just Edna. It isn’t good or bad. It’s just Edna.

SEASONAL BREW REVIEW - with Hans & Joe Editor’s note: With the explosive growth of craft beers as evidenced by some local restaurants and bars offering over 10 different taps and a multitude of bottled beers, we thought it was time to have an expert provide some insight into the world of craft brewing. For that we present Hans Maldonado, a certified beer judge, and his sidekick, Dr. Joe Lauer, a local cardiologist who has developed a great deal of knowledge on craft brewing from self-study and frequent tastings. Our plan is to have Hans and Joe write periodically on the seasonal brews being offered locally during the year.

Seasonal Beers of Fall

As the sun sets earlier and the nightfall comes sooner, that usually signals the appearance of malt-driven and sometimes higher alcohol beers. Since the choices available to today’s beer consumer are vast and can vary greatly in character, I hope this guide will be helpful when selecting one of the seasonal craft beers.

OKTOBERFEST/ MÄRZEN History of the style

The first Oktoberfest celebration began on October 12, 1810 and was not a beer festival. It was a celebration of the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. During this first Oktoberfest, the citizens of Munich were invited to partake in the festivities

Upland Oktoberfest

which featured a horse race at the end of the celebration. The party was such a grand time that it was repeated on an annual basis. Over the years, the festival was moved to an earlier date to assure better weather, the horse races were dropped and the celebration was lengthened. Today Oktoberfest in Munich is a modern example of bacchanalian revelry taken to the extreme.

Joe and I got our hands on a few of the Oktoberfests available locally, and here is some of our resulting conversation as well as a couple of reviews:

The modern version of Oktoberfest/ Märzen beers took form around 1841, and a significant portion of the credit is due to the Spaten Brewery.

A proper Oktoberfest is brewed as a lager and should possess great clarity.

Hop character is mild, and the initial flavor should be malty in nature, although the beer should finish dry.

Mouthfeel should be of medium body and moderate carbonation. “Smooth” would be a proper description of the drinkable nature of these beers.

Alcohol content should range between 4.8% and 5.7% ABV.

JOE: I can see your point, but when I want a beer that will inspire me to contemplate the meaning of existence, Oktoberfest is not the style I would look for.

Upland’s Oktoberfest is a golden copper color with excellent clarity and a constant flow of bubbles traveling from the bottom of the glass to the top of the beer. The aroma is a combination of proofing bread dough and baking bread that is about 3/4 of the way finished. The flavor is of toasty bread and some caramel malt with the addition of a faint hop bitterness and flavor. The beer is medium bodied with a dry finish.

JOE: Oktoberfest doesn’t usually excite me as a style. It is too simple.

HANS: It is exactly that relative simplicity that I appreciate, especially in these days of over-the-top ales being produced quite extensively here in America.

HANS: You could get there if you drank 10 of them!

JOE: I guess I can appreciate the approachability of Oktoberfest.

HANS: As a bartender who does not always deal with rabid beer consumers looking for the next greatest and most revolutionary beer of all time, I know that Oktoberfest is usually a beer that I can recommend and pour for almost any beer drinker with little risk of rejection.

Sun King Oktoberfest

Sun King Oktoberfest is a light copper color with the total clarity demanded by the style. It possesses a steady flow of CO2 going from bottom to top. Aroma is mildly earthy, perhaps from the noble hop varietals with a hint of toasty cereal grains. There are some toasty notes and very little hop bitterness. The beer finishes cleanly with a light-medium body.

Upland and Sun King are not the only local producers of the Oktoberfest/ Märzen style. BIER Brewery makes a world class Märzen, and there are plenty of other excellent examples of the style made in the Midwest.

PUMPKIN ALES Modern pumpkin ales are a distinctly American creation. In this Golden Age of craft brewing in America, there are no limits recognized by our maverick brewmasters. Therefore, to use what is, for many, the key ingredient in a much beloved dessert and to use it in a perhaps unusual medium is a logical step in the evolution of the American craft beer scene.

In the time when America was still comprised of British colonies, pumpkins and other vegetables were used as a source of sugar in the fermentation process; however, the end result would have been quite different from the pumpkin ales found at your local craft beer store.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, pumpkin ales are almost sure to evoke one feeling or the other. If you are looking for a sometimes spicy, often complex and usually robust and filling beer, then this may be a style worth investigating.

Joe and I sat down over a few pumpkin ales, and here is a snippet of our conversation along with a few reviews:

Schlafly Pumpkin Ale

Pours a true copper color with a high level of clarity.

Clove, cinnamon and nutmeg abound on the nose. The flavor in addition to the pumpkin pie spices reveal the distinct but subtle sweetness of pumpkins. There are hops in this beer, but they are relegated to the role of background noise; the spices fill the role typically played by hops which act as a counterweight to the sweetness of the malted barley, and in this case, the pumpkin. You will perceive very little, if any, hop character in this beer.

Mouthfeel is full bodied and moderately carbonated although the fullness of body mitigates the perceived carbonation. Finish is long and complex. The drinkability of this beer is tempered only by your tolerance for spice and alcohol, as it clocks in at 8% ABV. 42

zionsville C O M M U N I T Y

Zionsville_October_2013.indd 42

HANS: I am very hot or cold towards pumpkin ales. I am likely to be ambivalent to most pumpkin ales; however, I always taste with an open and subjective palate.

JOE: Actually I am often fond of the style.

Pumpkin ales usually bring big and spicy flavors that remind me of pumpkin pie, and as you might expect, these beers usually pair pretty well with pumpkin pie.

HANS: That brings up an important point in this discussion. Some pumpkin ales do not contain any pumpkin in their production, but rather they simply use spices typically used in pumpkin pie. I prefer those pumpkin ales that use pumpkin in the mash and take a soft approach to the use of pumpkin pie spices.

JOE: I agree with you about the use of pumpkin, but I enjoy the spices, even when used liberally.

Rivertown Pumpkin Ale

Pours a deep brown with shades of red around the borders. The nose is full of pumpkin pie spice. The flavor is definitely tilted towards the spice end of the pumpkin ale flavor spectrum, but the pumpkin flavor is there. Just barely. The finish is drier and more crisp and clean than many offerings in this style. This may be due to the light body and moderately high carbonation compared to other samples of this style.

Other local pumpkin ales to look for include Flatjack Pumpkin Ale from Flat 12 Bierwerks and an offering from BIER Brewery. If you look beyond the borders of Indiana, there are pumpkin ales worthy of tasting from Brooklyn Brewery, New Holland Brewing Company and Southern Tier Brewing Company among others.

A note for hopheads

Hops are harvested once per year. In the Northern Hemisphere, this occurs during the fall, and that means there will soon be wet hop IPAs (India Pale Ale) available. Hops are very susceptible to mold, so they must be dehydrated quickly after harvest. Some are left as whole cones while others are processed into pellets or plugs. The drying process protects the hops from spoilage, but it also removes some of the fragrances and flavors from the hops.

To take advantage of a recent hop harvest, a very small percentage of hops are hustled from field to brewery, where brewers await with kettles lit, hoping to utilize the precious ingredient that is the wet hop. For many breweries, there is little guarantee of acquiring these hops, and as a result, many do not produce a wet

hop IPA every year. Even the ones who do produce such an IPA cannot produce a substantial amount.

Since hops are mostly water, and the removal of water tends to concentrate flavors, brewers must use more hops to achieve the desired effect.

Using more wet hops also means adding more water which (L) Dr. Joe Laue must be accounted for in the r & Hans Maldon ado (R) recipe. Brewing with wet hops can be a technically difficult undertaking, to say nothing of the effort, expense and sometimes luck Sometimes wet hop IPAs are called involved in acquiring the ingredients. harvest ales, but be careful as the term There are a few breweries that produce “harvest ale” does not necessarily a wet hop IPA every year. Some of imply the use of wet hops. these include Three Floyd’s Broo Doo, I hope this has provided, at least, a Founder’s Harvest Ale, and perhaps starting point for your exploration of the largest producer of wet hop IPA in the craft seasonal beers you will find the Midwest, Two Brothers Brewing locally this fall. Enjoy!

ZZionsville’s ionsville’s Off-Main Street Players Presents Crimes of the Heart | Ray Cortopassi Yellow caution tape. You know how it reads: “CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS.” I’ve been around it plenty in 20 years of covering the news: murders, fires, robberies, you name it. You don’t have to be a journalist to recognize it. That boundary line is there for a reason. Law enforcement and emergency responders don’t want the average Joe wandering into that mess because a) it contaminates the crime scene and b) it’s something you probably don’t want to see; it tends to be on the gruesome side.

This October, Zionsville’s Off-Main Street Players (OMSP) present an on-stage story that you ARE allowed to trudge through. It’s the grittiest of scenes because it involves emotions right there at the surface and those that are buried by years of family drama: jealousy, self-centeredness, infidelity,

and yes, even attempted murder. But here’s the thing – it’s all wickedly funny.

It’s Beth Henley’s Pulitzer Prizewinning play, Crimes of the Heart. It was a great Hollywood movie from a while back, and it will be on stage at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St., October 4-12.

The black comedy marks the OMSP’s 23rd show since debuting Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite in September 2005. The formation of OMSP is a great story that I won’t get into here except to say that the true talent belongs to cofounder and returning Crimes director Brett Brewer of Zionsville, as well as the many creative volunteers who’ve carried the dramatic mantle in our theatrical productions in the last eight years. They’ve been building sets, selling tickets, gathering concessions and building audiences.

Produced by Zionsville’s Chris Bias, Crimes of the Heart is a play that tells the story of the MaGrath sisters from Mississippi: Lenny, Meg and Babe.

They’re awaiting the pending death of their grandfather while also waiting to learn the fate of Babe, the youngest, who is out of jail on bail after facing a charge of attempted murder.

It’s well written, funny and also touching. I know. I’ve been rehearsing alongside some talented actors who are bringing these amazing characters to life with a southern accent. I play Doc Porter, a guy who had a house fall on him during Hurricane Katrina. His femme fatale is Meg, played by Molly Kincaid, of Zionsville. Her character up and left Doc and her family in Hazelhurst to pursue a singing career in Hollywood.

Lenora (everyone calls her “Lenny”) is played by Amy Lacy of Zionsville.

She’s the sister left holding the bag, caring for Granddad and may never find love. Babe is the one who’s in real trouble. She shot her husband, a powerful senator wounded in the heat of one very controversial moment.

Babe is brought to life by Theresa Kolesszar of Lebanon. Rich DeCamp of Indianapolis plays Barnette Lloyd,

Actors Molly Griffin, Amy Lacy and Theresa Koleszar during rehearsal.

Halloween Party A children’s store transforms into a festive boo-tique for Halloween

| Janelle Morrison Area residents and customers of Ballerinas and Bruisers have grown accustomed to the children’s store decking its rooms and garden with festive decorations on a variety of occasions and town events, but the children have recently expressed to Owner Steve Schwartz that his annual Halloween Party is their favorite store event.

For the fifth consecutive year, Steve will host the popular costume party at his store that is located on Main Street in downtown Zionsville. The level of detail to the decor has grown over the years with the expansion of a “Dead Pirates Cove” in an enchanting garden that lies hidden behind the store.

The life-sized creatures, skeletons dressed in the latest children’s fashions and other creepy touches that adorn the store most certainly rival other area haunted houses. Guests will find critters in every nook and cranny of Ballerinas and Bruisers. Aimed to entertain and not scare the children of all ages that come through the store during October, Schwartz emphasizes that he and his staff take great care to make it appealing and not appalling to the masses.

“With each year, we collect a few more pieces to add to our collection of tricks and treats,” Schwartz said. “We want our customers and guests to enjoy the work that we put into decorating our property, and it gives them another reason to wear their awesome costumes, enjoy some amazing treats from our friends at Confectioneiress and celebrate the season with us. We look forward to this party the most.”

This year’s activities include cookie decorating provided by Confectioneiress Cupcakes and Sweets, an onsite concert and entertainment provided by local favorite Ruditoonz, photos by Gina Miller Photography, light refreshments and door prizes.

The Halloween party will take place on a new date this year, Friday, October 25 from 5-7 pm. Tickets are $10 per child.

Reservations are necessary. Contact the store at 317-733-3400 or by email at ballerinasandbruisers@yahoo.com.

JJ Kaplan Captures Prestigious Photography Awards

Photographer JJ Kaplan

Zionsville professional photographer and regular Zionsville Community Newsletter contributor, JJ Kaplan of Color My World Studio, was recently recognized for her excellence in photography by the Indianapolis Professional Photographers Guild (IPPG) during their annual Fall Seminar September 15-16.

Entering competition prints ranging from senior portraits, equine and architecture, she captured the Gold Corner Award for all prints submitted. One of her prints, featuring Zionsville senior Mia Kaehler during her AQUA SESSION, was recognized for its impact and storytelling. In addition, her senior album, “Seniorology,” also earned recognition for outstanding senior portraits in Indianapolis.

It is certainly not surprising to us at the Zionsville Community Newsletter that JJ’s photographs would be recognized for excellence by her peers in the IPPG. We have become accustomed to JJ providing this magazine with outstanding photographs every month that add so much to the quality of this publication. After she submitted some photographs for our first issue in April, JJ Kaplan quickly became our go-to photographer to shoot our cover photos, including this month. In addition to the compliments we regularly receive on JJ’s photos, we also routinely hear from the people that JJ is photographing just how wonderful it was to work with her.

Congratulations, JJ, on these prestigious awards! october 2013

However, today’s safety concerns are more than just dark country roads, so parents are thrilled to be provided with supervised trick-or-treating options.

While a variety of venues seem to come and go from year to year, the merchants of Boone Village Shopping Center have stayed the course. They continue to welcome goblins of all ages!

This year’s festivities are scheduled for Tuesday, October 29 from 5:30-7 pm.

Costumes will be judged at 6 pm.

Halloween Safety Tips

Boone Village A Safe Place to Trick-or-Treat

| Geri Neita Times have changed. Kids have changed. Costumes have changed.

But Boone Village Shopping Center has offered a safe venue for trick-ortreating for almost 40 years!

Growing up, my husband, Mark, lived just north of where Pleasant View Elementary School is now situated, and he can remember only a handful of houses between there and Zionsville Community High School. Trick-ortreating could be treacherous on dark country roads. At that time, Zionsville consisted mostly of country roads, so Halloween was celebrated at parties in people’s houses or not at all.

each year. Those first children have returned with their own children and grandchildren to enjoy the festivities which have changed slightly over the years – no more bobbing for apples…

Each year, trophies are awarded for the best costume in several categories.

Kern admits his favorites are usually the homemade ones, but he does remember when Star Wars hit theaters, and every other kid was Darth Vader. “That was a big deal back in the day,” he said.

• Adults should always accompany young children • Holes in masks should be large enough to allow good peripheral vision • All candy should be checked by an adult • Know your route • Use a flashlight • Never enter a stranger’s house • Walk on sidewalks • Don’t step out from between parked cars • Wear shoes that fit properly • Adhere reflective tape to costume or trickor-treat bag • Wear a watch • Carry a cell phone if possible Geri Neita is a Zionsville resident and freelance writer who fronts a local Irish band.

By 1973, a new shopping center sprung up, and shortly thereafter, members of the merchant’s association agreed to don costumes and host a Halloween party in an effort to promote their respective businesses.

Bill Kern, original merchant and owner of Kern Brothers Shoes, estimates that between 600 and 800 trick-or-treaters come through the shopping center 52
