The Zionsville Town Council has already ap-proved $10.2 million in funding for a new town

hall, but now it is working to set up a separate fund from which payments for the new,

41,300-square-foot building will be paid.The fund would serve as a holding fund to de-

posit revenue from other, previously discussed town sources in order to make payments on the loan, acquired through Old National Bank, which the town will pay back over 20 years at a 2.7 percent interest rate.

The fiscal plan for the project, approved March 7 by the council, calls for mostly using monies that will be available to the town in the future but were not included or available in the 2016 budget.

Those sources of revenue previously dis-cussed included using an annual $283,066 in ad-ditional County Option Income Tax revenue that was not calculated in the most recent budget, $115,000 from food and beverage taxes, $55,000 from the Cumulative Capital Development Fund and $94,000 in revenues from the Quail Run TIF area, which includes the site of the current

town hall that is expected to be torn down and redeveloped into retail. Other funds could come from Boone County TIF revenues.

At the July 5 council meet-ing, councilor Tom Schuler spoke against the proposal to establish the fund, saying the

wording “is stripping the financial authority of

By Sadie Hunter • [email protected]

The Zionsville Town Council has decided to take no action with a proposal to remove PUD

(planned unit develop-ment) zoning for the Pittman property devel-

opment, The Farm, at the southwest corner of Michigan Road and Sycamore Street.

Plans for the stalled, 62-acre, mixed-use de-velopment are currently tied up in a legal battle between the owners of the property, five sib-lings of the Pittman family – Steve, Mark, Chad and Scott Pittman and Anne Kelton – which led some members of the council to consider strip-ping the PUD zoning, reverting the property back to its original residential, single-family zoning (R-SF-2), out of fear of the property’s development stakes falling into the hands of developers who may not have the town’s best interest in mind.

But, as announced at its July 5 meeting, the council has decided to stay out of it for now.

“In a subsequent meeting of the town council, we addressed this and decided that we were going to postpone any further action due to the legal decisions that have been taken on this particular project,” Town Council President Susana Suarez said at the meeting. “That has made the council realize that there is no further

activity needed on this, but we will continue monitoring it to be sure the interest of the town (is considered) first and foremost.”

Plans were originally approved for the de-velopment by the Zionsville Plan Commission in September 2015, and Kroger had announced plans to build a grocery store on the property, but those plans have been delayed as the fam-ily continues with court proceedings to deter-mine how the $90 million proposed project will proceed.

Steve Pittman previously said the siblings have, so far, been unable to agree on who should develop the property, another developer or them.

Suarez said the rezoning proposal will stay in the council’s old business.

The next Zionsville Town Council meeting is 7 p.m. Aug. 1 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St., Zionsville.

(the) council, and saying the mayor can put all the (town’s) revenue in the pot.”

“We did want to leave it broad enough be-cause, at this point, there could be additional sources of revenue that we haven’t anticipated,” Zionsville Town Attorney Heather Willey said. “It is purposely broad. What we’re trying to ac-complish is to allow for a line-item fund where anything that would be deposited in that fund would be separately delineated so when you, as councilors, or members of the public, wanted to go back and review those funds, they wouldn’t be co-mingled.”

Schuler continued, saying, “It says that, ‘the town hall shall deposit in the fund any revenue from other town sources.’ I understand why we

would want to have a separate fund, but what this does not define is where that money is coming from definitively.”

“I think one important thing that you should keep in mind as well is that any funds that you are going to appropriate have to come back to the council (for approval),” Wil-ley responded.

“It says, ‘take monies from any revenue source,’” Schuler said.

“That doesn’t mean take any money anytime you want,” Council President Susana Su-arez said in response.

“Yes it does. It absolutely does,” Schuler said. “If you can’t read English, I’m sorry, but that’s what it says right here. If you disagree with me, you’re lying to this community.”

“You’re out of order,” Suarez responded. “You’ve been insulting to members of this coun-cil, and you are out of order.”

Suarez then made a motion to adopt the ordinance on first reading, which was approved with a 6-1 vote, followed by a 6-1 vote to approve the ordinance. However, Deputy Mayor Ed Mitro reminded the council that because rules had been suspended, the vote had to be unanimous to move to a second reading.

“I would suggest that we visit this issue at our next meeting to discuss whether we need to then address it with an amendment or bring it back to the council to move it on to a second reading,” Suarez said.

The next Zionsville Town Council meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Aug. 1 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St., Zionsville.

Council denies 200 West project Council OKs $1.2M in re-appropriations

By Sadie Hunter • [email protected]

The Zionsville Town Council, at its July 5 meeting, approved re-appropriations for nine funds within the city’s 2016 budget.

“As we have done in years past, either once or twice a year, we need to analyze a re-appropriation resolution,” Deputy Mayor Ed Mitro said, addressing the council. “(These are) not

additional funds. This is taking money from one line item within our budget and mov-ing it to another line item.”

From it’s original passing of the budget, the council passed the resolution 7-0 to re-appropriate funds not needed for their original appropriations.

• $10,694.16 within Parks and Recreation Fund (Fund 216) for the Zionsville Parks Dept.• $52,886 within the Golf Course Fund (Fund 275)• $443,000 within the TIF Fund (Fund 490) for the Redevelopment Commission• $44,433 within the Police Operating Fund (Fund 209) for the Zionsville Police Dept.• $61,962 within the General Fund (Fund 101) for Town of Zionsville Administration• $146,719 within the Fire Operating Fund (Fund 207) for the Zionsville Fire Dept.• $7,000 within the Fire Equipment Replacement Fund (Fund 208) for the Zionsville

ApprOved re-ApprOprIATIONs

The Zionsville Town Council has followed suit with the Zionsville Plan Commission in its denial

of the 200 West proposed project – a mixed-use development with single-

family, multi-family and commercial uses – adja-cent to the Village.

“I think from what I’ve picked up in talking to residents and members of the community, every-body’s interested in seeing something, this was just not it,” Town Council President Susana Suarez said. “So, I think there’s interest, and there’s sup-port for the right project, but this one was just a little missing in some places.”

The ordinance, which would have rezoned 4.32 acres near Second and Sycamore Streets from the B-3 Urban Outdoor Business Development Zoning District to a PUD (planned unit development) Dis-trict, was unanimously voted against.

Wayne DeLong, director of planning and eco-nomic development for the town, said the proper-ty is the only remaining piece of B-3 land available in the Village.

DeLong also said the current developers still plan to move forward with a similar project that will not require a zoning change to, according to town documents, “maximize the development po-

tential of the site in a manner that is consistent with the gateway concept; provide residents of the Zionsville Village area with additional ameni-ties; and expand the downtown Village area in a manner that is consistent with and sensitive to the existing uses and residents in the Village.”

Development company Fabrico first brought the project before the plan commission in March and held several public meetings within the communi-ty, which resulted in some changes to the project, but the changes weren’t enough for members of the plan commission to favor the project, leading to its unanimous disapproval of 0-5.

The next Zionsville Town Council meeting is 7 p.m. Aug. 1 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St., Zionsville.

Rezoning for the 200 West project was unanimously denied by both the Zionsville Town Council and Zi-onsville Plan Commission. (Submitted rendering)

Daniel Alt can recite more than 1,200 Bible verses, and he will put his knowledge of

scripture to the test July 25 to 29 when he competes in the Junior

Bible Quizzing North America Nationals in Branson, Mo.

The 10-year-old Whitestown resident and his teammate, Benjamin Stirnemann, placed third in the state, qualifying them to compete against other finalists from the U.S. and Canada at the event.

“This is (Daniel’s) sixth year quizzing and his fifth year going to nationals,” his mother, Karen Alt, said. “There was only one year he didn’t make it. There are probably about 100 teams. Each team can have between two and five kids per team.”

Daniel’s training begins in November with quizzing starting in January. His training regi-men involves daily practice.

“He has memorized this year 267 verses word-for-word verbatim. He reviews his verses every day. He quotes them to me

daily. He’s had to memorize unique words in the Bible. If you give him a unique word, he can recall the location of that unique word and quote the verse just by being given that word,” Karen said. “He does a lot of prep and work with that, above and beyond just memorizing the verses.”

Once the national event is complete, Dan-iel will have a break until November when he starts learning verses again. He and his teammate attend Liberty Tabernacle in New Whiteland.

New fire truck a workhorse

Waste district marks 40 years

By Heather Lusk • [email protected]

Part ladder truck, part pumper and part emergency medical service vehicle, the Zi-

onsville Fire Dept.’s Ladder 93 combines multiple uses into the first quint (quintuple combination

pumper) in town. The quint combines the fea-tures of a ladder truck with an engine. 

“Not only does it meet our daily needs but is a balance of industry standards,” said ZFD Deputy Chief Brian Miller.

The 137-foot ladder is reported to be the tallest aerial in service in North America, but more importantly, for the needs of the ZFD, it reaches 126 feet to the side. Because many Zionsville homes are set back more than 60 feet from the curb additional length is needed for the combination of vertical and horizontal reach so that firefighters can get to roofs to more effectively fight fires.

“Our biggest concern, and one of the things we want to make sure we’re able to do, is reach those properties that are commercial or residential,” Miller said.

The ladder is mounted at the end of the truck instead of the middle of the body, where most ladders are located, allowing a 360-de-gree reach and better maneuverability. The

Every household or business with plumbing creates some sort of waste, but most people

don’t pay attention to what happens after it’s flushed away. Like any

wastewater-management utility company, the Clay Township Regional Waste District is paying very close attention, and this year marks its 40-year anniversary of service. To celebrate, the CTRWD held an open house June 29.

Officially established in 1975, the CTRWD, 10701 N. College Ave. in Indianapolis, is in charge of maintaining its customers’ sewer systems, which involves the treatment and recycling of local wastewater. Since its in-ception, the organization has seen massive growth in its customer base and operations.

“We’ve grown to over 14,000 customers, which would be the west half of Carmel and part of Zionsville,” CTRWD Utilities Director An-drew Williams said. “We’ve put a lot of money into projects. I think in the last 10 years we’ve put at least $34 million into capital projects to keep upgrading both for new growth and for our existing customers.”

Even with its continued updates and

growth, the plant still manages to maintain the second lowest utility rates in Hamilton County.

Aside from physical updates over the years, the CTRWD has focused a lot on its public outreach.

“One of the things we’ve worked on is really educating the public,” Williams said. “We have a pretty extensive outreach.”

In addition, the CTRWD interacts with local Boy Scout troops, schools and even has a wild life sanctuary on its plant Zionsville.

“We have about 20 acres out there,” Wil-liams said.

quint will replace a 95-foot ladder truck that has been retired due to age. 

The truck has a 500-gallon tank, storage for EMS and tools for light extrication, should someone become trapped at an auto accident.

It took two years to complete, starting with a ZFD committee specifying the ergonom-ics and organization of the truck and other details such as green lights up the ladder, multiple Zionsville logos, and remembrances of firefighter-paramedic Cody Richardson, who died in 2013. 

The truck will be ceremonially pushed by firefighters into the station during a special public dedication ceremony at 5 p.m. July 13 at Station 93.

A salute to air conditioning

plAIN TAlk

Commentary by Ward Degler

A big round of applause for the Sackett-Wilheims Publishing Company of Brooklyn, N.Y.

It seems in 1902 they got sick and tired of their print-ing jobs getting messed up

from high humidity and decided to do some-thing about it.

What they did in desperation was hire a young, Cornell University engineering gradu-ate by the name of Willis Carrier to install a wild and fanciful off-the-charts system he had concocted that he claimed would control humidity.

It worked, and air conditioning was born. Carrier’s brainchild came one foggy morning while he was waiting for a train. He realized, standing on the platform in the mist that cool air can’t hold as much moisture as warm air. So, if he could reduce a room’s air tempera-ture, the moisture would turn to fog, which he could then shuttle to the outside with a fan.

The printing company experiment had a couple of unexpected results. Not only did Carrier’s system reduce the humidity, it cooled the air. And the fan circulated it, keeping it fresh. It is likely that during the overheated summer of 1902, the happiest employees in New York worked at the Sackett-Wilheims Publishing Company.

It took a while for the rest of the world to join the AC revolution, however, probably because each system had to be meticulously designed and built by hand. The first in-home unit was a one-of-a-kind behemoth built in

1914 for the Gates mansion in Minneapolis. It was seven feet high, six feet wide and 20 feet long.

The first window ACs showed up in 1931, but it wasn’t until the 1950s when the entire world was rebounding from the war and intent on keeping up with the Joneses that in-home cooling hit it big.

By contrast, the first air-conditioned car was the 1939 Packard. Chrysler followed in 1953 with Chrysler Airtemp, which set the standard for auto AC for years to come. Still, it was another two decades before factory installed AC became the norm.

Our family wagon was un-air conditioned Fords until Dad bought a Buick in 1956. My first air-conditioned car was a used 1975 Cadillac.

When I was a kid living in southern Mis-souri, the only store in town that had air conditioning was Finch’s drug store. We used to enjoy hauling our sweat-soaked bodies into Finch’s and feeling our tee shirts freeze. Old man Finch didn’t like loiterers, however, so we always pooled our pennies to buy something. Of course, we took our sweet time deciding.

Today I go nonchalantly from air-con-ditioned house to air-conditioned car. But sometimes I offer a salute of gratitude to that long-forgotten publishing company.

Growing up in Logansport, Casalini dis-covered Zionsville after his car broke down in town. After attending Indiana University and graduating from the New York School of Photography, Casalini spent some time in Atlanta, Ga. In 1973 he returned to Indiana and remembered Zionsville, where he eventually set up shop.

“I was looking at a space to open my studio in,” Casalini said. “Because I’m from a small town, I didn’t want to be in a place like Broad Ripple, that at that time was really popular. I really liked Zionsville and started looking for space.”

through his website, but also in his work.

Casalini specializes in portrait photography, but unlike a standard photographer purely shooting to make sub-jects look aesthetically appealing, Casalini’s primary purpose is to capture his subject’s personality.

“It’s not about a likeness of them or it’s not about what somebody else thinks they should look like,” Casalini said. “That’s what makes them beautiful, because they are simply who they are whether it’s an individual or whether it’s a couple. They understand that it really is about them.”

In order to capture the true, personal na-ture of his subjects, Casalini says the key is to listen to his clients and gain their trust, which can be difficult at first.

“I’m a very good listener,” Casalini said. “That’s probably what I do best, because by listening, that gives me the opportunity to hear what they’re actually saying and not what they think they should be saying. It’s just the opposite when they come in at first. They tell me what they think I want to hear, and then once we get past that, then the trust level starts to increase.”

Casalini shoots his clients in black and white as opposed to color. The black-and-

white effect adds a sentimental aspect to his work.

“I’ve been doing black-and-white now for the past 20 years,” he said. “I think the emo-tion is a little stronger in black and white. They become timeless in a sense that we don’t have to worry about fashion, we don’t have to worry about color. It takes away vi-sual distraction.”

Picking Portraits Having a studio in Zionsville’s Village for

more than four decades, Casalini has had the opportunity to build up his portfolio.

“My concentration has been wide through-out my career,” Casalini said. “I started out in

portrait work, and then I migrated into com-mercial work. I was active in the commercial business for 25 years, and I had reps in Chi-cago, New York and L.A.”

After his 25 years in the commercial busi-ness, Casalini felt it time to move on to what he loved most – portrait photography.

“I really started to burn out on it, so I decid-ed to slowly concentrate back on my portrait business,” Casalini said. “I had been spiritually asking for a project that I could work on that would redirect me back to my portrait work, and it came to a job I was asked to do here in Indianapolis.”

At the time, Indianapolis Power and Light was working to have Medal of Honor recipi-ents as parade marshals. Casalini was work-ing with a local advertising company to do a poster to honor the recipients at the India-napolis 500.

“I pulled up in front of my studio, and I stopped to get out of my car and thought, ‘Here’s what I’ve been asking for. I’m going to go do portraits of the Medal of Honor recipi-ents,’” Casalini said.

It was through his idea Casalini would come to create his first published book. Casalini said he hoped to photograph not just the men with the medal, but the men behind the medal.

“For three years I traveled the country and photographed the Medal of Honor recipients. By looking at them as ordinary guys, I was interviewing them in a way that has not ever been done before in the Medal of Honor Soci-ety,” Casalini said. “It’s been a very successful

book, and it’s helped change a lot of lives in a very positive way. It’s helped people open up because they’re not pictured in a military context and gave the reader an opportunity to see that they are just normal people.”

The book, titled “Ordinary Heroes,” led him to travel with the Speakers Bureau as a key-note speaker for nearly 10 years. Since then Casalini has gone on to create other impact-ful projects, such as Portraits of the Human Spirit, an exhibit on display at two St.Vincent hospitals.

Today, Casalini remains at his Zionsville stu-dio continuing to do what he loves, which he says he will not be stopping anytime soon.

“Presently, I have a couple other projects,” Casalini said. “As my career moves forward I’m nowhere near retirement. I feel blessed to have an opportunity to tell more stories.”

Q U O T e O f T h e w e e k

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The 2016 dance season is over, culminat-ing in a six-day trip to Myrtle Beach for na-

tionals. So much to say, only 350 words to convey. Now only 325. Here we go.

Girls just want to have fun. On the drive home, my daughter lamented that she had just spent a week at the ocean but only swam in it twice. When I reminded her that she was there to dance, not frolic on the beach, she announced: “That’s just stu-pid. Why not just have it in Indianapolis?” Fair enough. And much closer.

When left to their own devices, girls do have a lot of fun. Starting dance par-ties on the strip with sketchy passengers in idling cars; writing and producing a high-ly questionable but immensely entertain-ing rap song; sneaking un-choreographed moves into long-rehearsed routines … these kooky kids have imaginations after all!

All dance moms are not created equal. I realized about halfway through the trip that I was not part of the popular crowd. Try as I might to hang with “the fun moms,” I cherish alone time. I love going to bed at 9 p.m. And by God, if I’m near a beach, even one with a conspicuous ab-sence of sand dollars, I’ll be on it. I know I missed out on several juicy conversations, social power walks and delightful bottles of white, but this ginger dance mom earned a C+ tan and a renewed acceptance of self.

Not all dance teams are created equal either. Our girls danced well, but had their booty shorts handed to them by larger, more competitive teams. It was somewhat of a rude awakening for me but also confirmed what I already knew. We’re with a studio who puts fun and friendship first, not perfection. And I’m good with that.

I have a terrible short-term memory. I witnessed a two-car traffic accident one morning and was the sole pedestrian witness. When the cop interviewed me, I couldn’t recall any details. None. “So, you didn’t really see anything, ma’am?” Nope. I guess not.

But I do know a good rap song. Peace out.

And now it gets hyper-interesting. We as-sume you know that the FBI decided last week that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) was “extremely careless” in the way she handled classified emails on a private server (Oopsie!), but, hey, there isn’t enough for a recommenda-tion to the Department of Justice for criminal charges to be brought against the former secretary of state. “As the Secretary has long said, it was a mistake to use her personal email and she would not do it again. We are glad that this matter is now resolved,” said FBI Director James Comey. Is it? Not if you ask the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, the name-calling flamethrower. He immediately opined on social media that the “system is rigged” and was calling for a special prosecutor. One wag on Twitter noted that as the announcement was being made, Clinton and President Barack Obama were together on the campaign trail, and that if anyone believed that was a coincidence, one would be a fool. Perhaps. We’re trying to make sense of the decision. Brought down to our level, which is way, way down the ladder, does that mean if we’re pulled over for do-ing 45 mph in a 30 mph zone, we simply tell the constable, “I apologize, officer, but I didn’t intend to speed.” The announcement came the day after we celebrated independence from tyrannical elites. We’re not sure that fully is the case. Of course, as we’ve written before, if anyone thought Clinton would get more than a hand slap, we have some south-central Florida real estate for you. If interested, you really should have an affinity for Burmese pythons.

Commentary by Terry Anker

We all want to help. It is human nature; or at the very least, we still can claim it among the qualities in the better part of our selves. When someone else is suffering, it gives us an opportunity to reach out in support of their need. They get a little boost, and we get to feel good about ourselves. Who loses in that equation, right? Moreover, life teaches that we are on the upward slant of life one minute and on the downward the next. So, our aid somehow guarantees that someone will help us when our fortunes are down. Let’s call it an investment in the Karma bank.

Whatever the motivation, self-interest or altruism that leads us down the path, we all find ourselves, at one point or another, in a giving state of mind. We give money. We give time. We give advice. We give lots of advice. We give support. We give a hand up. We give. We give. We give. The only thing, perhaps better said – the only question that

we might consider, is are we giving what’s needed? Are we giving what’s wanted?

Some people think that doing anything is the same as doing something. Don’t misun-derstand the instinct. It is good to share – especially if by choice and not government decree. But when we confuse the general for the specific, are we really serving? If water is needed and we send coins, is thirst quenched? If tough love is the order of the day, do our sweet words fit the bill? Are we simply doing anything instead of doing something – the thing? If we focus on our own actions instead of the needs of others, are we really serving our desire to be valued rather than the legitimate re-quirement of the target of our largess?

Asleep at the wheel

Dick Wolfsie is an author, colum-nist and speaker. Contact him at [email protected].

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I have tried many things over the years to get a better night’s sleep. I once took Ambien,

but when I woke up in the morn-ing, I discovered I had mown the entire front lawn in the dark. I

tried allergy medicine, but it made me a little goofy. Growling at my-self in the mirror isn’t normal.

Why do I sleep well on a bus? Nothing about a bus lends itself to sleep-ing. The seats are hard, the space is cramped, and it’s usually hot. 

I decided to simulate the conditions on a bus that make me nod off. I asked my wife to talk to me like a tour guide, to drone on about how the Greeks built the Acropolis or how the Romans constructed the Appian Way. Mary Ellen felt dumb talking to me from the foot of the bed. I asked her to rock the bed back and forth so I’d feel like I was really on the bus. That’s when she got off the bus and slept on the couch.

I took a hard-back, metal folding chair and sat on it next to my bedroom window while

bouncing up and down like I was on a bus. But I was still wide awake after 30 minutes. Maybe it’s the sun that makes me drowsy, so I shone a floor lamp directly in my eyes. No luck. What else could I do? Mary Ellen wouldn’t let me invite 30 strangers over to sit around the bed.

Wait! The bus trips are during the day, and I’m trying to sleep at night. So I got back into my folding chair at high noon. The sun was pouring in on my face. Suddenly I felt myself getting sleepy, very sleepy. Zzzz…

It worked. I slept from noon until 8 p.m.,

sitting straight up in the chair, leaning against my bedroom window. My insomnia was cured.

Two hours later, it was time for bed. I got under the covers and just couldn’t fall asleep.

Go figure.

I tried allergy medicine, but it made me a

little goofy. Growling at myself in the mirror

isn’t normal.

Editor, Thanks for your article on the ongoing

Walmart issue. It saddens me to see the planning commission and this mayor not appeal this judge’s decision and let Walmart go forward. Can we not make better use of this land instead of letting them build another ubiquitous Walmart? Isn’t there one just three miles away already? Don’t they

get the hint? No, they’ll just sue the town! But then again, Walmart is going to do what Walmart wants to do … and the community, the residents and businesses of Zionsville be damned. Invited or not, we’re coming to your town.

But, that’s just my opinion. Thanks, Ann Marie (Shambaugh). Keep up the good work!

Anyone who has spent time on the bleach-ers cheering on children or a favor-ite sports teams

knows that these bench seats can become incredibly uncomfortable. Why does sitting on hard wood or metal stadium seating cause so much pain?

“There are various reasons this is painful,” said Jeremy Enz, a physical therapist at IU Health. “Two of the main causes are that the benches are hard, so we become sore in our ‘sit bones’ (ischial tuberosities). And since bleachers have no back support, we tend to slouch, which causes an unnatu-ral curve of the spine. This isn’t detrimental for short periods of time, but most sporting events last for an hour or more.”

Improper posture caused by prolonged sit-ting in the bleachers eventually causes strain on the low back and core muscles, not to men-tion the discomfort of the hard surface. The solution is simple.

“Maintaining proper posture is very impor-tant. It is difficult, due to the lack of proper

support,” stated Tiffany Thacker, FNP, a regis-tered nurse and coordinator for the Spine Pro-gram at IU Health North. “Most people want to lean forward with their elbows on their knees. This creates more pressure on your lower back and will cause more discomfort later. The positioning of most bleachers places our hips lower than our knees, which exacerbates

the pressure on the low back. Try to maintain proper posture while sitting on bleachers.”

When you’re not at the game, be sure to maintain an exercise pro-gram that focuses on core strength, which will help with the so-called “bleacher back.”

“Invest in a stadium chair,” Enz said. “These are portable chairs with

cushioned seats, seat backs, and some even have arm rests that are designed to lock onto bleachers.”

“You can also use a blanket to help make the experience less painful,” Thacker said. “If it is at all possible, bring a folding chair with you and set it up on the sidelines. This will provide better body alignment.”

When you do start to feel the onset of pain, both experts suggest getting up and moving around.

Staying positive – A positive attitude is one of the keys to a happier, more fulfilling, and successful life. One of the great things about attitude is that you have 100 percent control over it. To help develop a more positive attitude, try connecting frequently with positive people. Being around negative people will affect your attitude before you realize it. Make an effort to expand your circle of positive friends.

Celiac symptoms – Celiac disease is a digestive disorder characterized by an abnormally high sensitivity towards gluten, which is part of foods such as rye, barley, oats, and wheat. There are many symptoms so it can be difficult to diagnose. Some of the main symptoms include:

1. Brain fog2. Irritability3. Brittle nails4. Bloating5. Constipation6. Headaches

If you have several of these symptoms, check with your doc-tor about celiac disease.

Dangers of lead – Toxic water in Michigan has been in the news lately. While attention has largely focused on the potential harms to children, adults are not immune to lead toxicity. In fact, some studies suggest that as many as 40 percent of adults have high lead levels in their bodies which can contribute to high blood pressure, headaches, insomnia and more. To get tested for lead, request a provocation test from your doctor, which is more accurate than blood testing.

Best defense against ticks – Short of staying inside forever, there’s no guarantee against tick bites. However, you can lessen the risks by spraying your clothes with prometherin. Take your clothes outside and spray them. This lasts for about a week. Also, products with eucalyptus oils can be used on your skin as repellants. Finally, do a tick check when you come inside. If you find a tick, carefully pull it straight out without squeezing it. A tick removal device works best for this.

Approximately 1,000 more homes have sold in central Indi-ana during the first five months of 2016 than the same time

period last year, according to data from the 13-county region F.C. Tucker tracks. In a monthly comparison, approximately 3,059

homes pended in May 2016, which was a 3 percent increase over May 2015. Homes priced above $300,000 contributed to the ma-jority of last month’s growth in pended sales.

In Boone County, pended sales are up 12.7 percent year to date and up 6.4 percent month to date. Approximately seven more homes pended throughout the county than May 2015. The average sales price rose 2.7 percent compared to last year, now at $276,316. Meanwhile, inventory tightened 5.2 percent year to date.

• In Zionsville, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 3.1 percent to $390,171.

• Inventory moved at a slightly slower pace in Zionsville in May 2016. Overall, homes sold in 79 days – one more day than this time last year.

• Buyers in Zionsville had fewer options available to them. Last month, 195 homes were available for sale – 12 fewer homes compared to May 2015.

• Pended home sales grew in Zionsville. In May 2016, 62 homes sold – an increase of three homes compared to May 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Zionsville last month, three were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; six were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 27 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 18 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; and eight were priced $100,000 to $199,999.

May was a busy month for our sales associates, but the de-mand exists for more homes to be on the market. Central Indiana has approximately 2.3 months of inventory. Typically, if inventory falls below four months, we know it’s a seller’s market.

Entrepreneur Ken Minturn has spent the last year plan-ning and developing his startup and last month launched

the website kenjiapp.com after learning from other small business owners at zWORKS.

Minturn said the process took “longer than I would have liked.” But he recognizes that only a small percentage of startups even get to the prod-uct stage.

“We’ve really gotten farther than most people even get,” he said. “That’s pretty comforting.”

KENJI, offering “law the new-fashioned way,” was created to be a marketplace for small businesses to find, hire and manage attorneys for their legal needs.

Registered clients begin the process by posting their needs with the help of a questionnaire. Vetted attorneys can submit a proposal using a fixed price versus an hourly rate. All of the attorneys must have malpractice insurance

and be certified and in good standing with their state bar association.

Through the zWORKS co-working space, Minturn has tak-en advantage of the opportunities to learn from entrepre-

neurs and business owners such as Josh Garrett and Mike Sweeney, whom he said have been “super helpful” in offering advice.

Minturn has entered his business to The Innova-tion Showcase, which connects fundable compa-nies with financial resources, and said he hopes to reach the finals to pitch KENJI. He recently added a part-time marketing position for strategic planning but ultimately would like to raise capital in the fall

to accelerate growth. Eventually, he said he would like to hire a full-time software developer, along with more market-ing and sales positions. But, he said he acknowledges that anyone hired for a startup will wear more than one hat.

“Hopefully, we can get to that next phase, which is hit-ting that product market fit and starting to just grow at a quick pace,” he said.

Indy Film Fest: Amy’s top five

Where’s Amy? is a photo column by Amy Pauszek, a society girl and film producer and partner with Ever Film Productions, LLC. She may be reached at [email protected].

Commentary by Amy Pauszek

The 2016 Indy Film Fest kicks off this week on July 14 and runs through July 24. It’s one of my favorite film festivals

because many of the films shown will be hav-ing their world premiere here in Indiana. Two amazing films are slated for opening and closing

nights, “Little Men” and “Morris From America.” Trust me, you won’t want to miss these exciting films, the after parties or the chance to meet indie filmmakers, producers and actors from around the world. As a local film producer, I love seeing what’s hot, fresh and who is making waves in the indie film industry. The Indianapolis Museum of Art is hosting the festi-val again this year. Two films I selected for my top five were actually filmed in Indiana and the rest are films that will leave the audience with questions and/or asking for more. Indy Film Fest Executive Director Craig Mince of Carmel said he believes “the core group who help run the festival are a team of people who believe in the unifying power of film - and they dedicate an unbelievable number of hours to prove that commitment.” Experience the Indy Film Fest and help make filmmakers’ from around the world dreams come true. For more, visit indyfilm-fest.org.

era of motorsport that is still going strong today. Indianapolis 500 race fans will love this film, which has dramatic re-enact-ments with a touch of modern contributors who relate and explain the history of these epic races. The film is in English but has some Italian subtitles. It’s interesting, witty and has beautiful Italian cinematography – an IFF must see.

3. “70 Acres in Chicago, Cabrini Green”Filmed over the course of 15 years, the documentary film

asks the question, “What happens when a mixed-income housing experiment collides with reality?” The film centers on three public-housing residents and how their lives are turned upside down when their community is torn apart in the name of progress. Cabrini is being demolished as part of a national plan to replace public housing with mixed-income communi-ties. Critics contend that the motivation is economic gain, as public housing’s prime real estate is too valuable for the low-income black communities that live there. The film chronicles neighborhood upheaval on Chicago’s most hotly contested 70 acres of land. This film makes the audience open their eyes to situations that happen every day to low-income communities and their families.

4. “Reparation”A powerful psychological thriller shot in Indiana about

a troubled Air Force veteran who finds clues to his buried memories in his young daughter’s art, while confronted by a stranger looking for answers to his past. The story, acting, music, make-up and cinematography make this film come alive. This is a feature film that leaves the audience wonder-ing about loyalty, friendships and the call of duty. This film is award-winning and a must-see. 

5. “Search Engines”Sanity and relationships are put to the test when mysterious

circumstances force a family to survive the annual American Thanksgiving holi-day without their cell phones. This is a fun, indie film with a great cast including Joely Fisher, Natasha Greyson Wagner, Daphne Zuniga and the hysterical Connie Stevens. I thought this film was funny, and it reminds us that we may just depend on so-cial media and our electronic devices a bit more than we really need to. Perfect for a girls’ night out at the IFF. 

1. “Under the Bridge: The Criminalization of Homelessness”

A documentary shot in downtown Indianapolis is about a tent city under a bridge, a man named Maurice and the criminalization of homelessness in the United States. The unofficial “mayor” of the Davidson Street camp, Maurice is an older, dreadlocked black man who has dropped out of normal society to minister to the homeless. His camp based under a railroad track becomes a real community, supported by church volunteers, until police and bulldozers close in to shut it down. This film makes the audience think about how we deal with the homeless and how this can happen to any of us when we least expect it. 

2. “A Sicilian Dream”This is a documentary about the famous Targa Florio, a

Sicilian mountain road race that, in 1906, gave birth to a new

“Under the Bridge,” a documentary about homelessness in India-napolis will be playing at the Indy Film Fest. (Submitted photo)

Hunter Smith is a Texan by birth and now a Hoosier at heart.

“I left Texas when I was 17, so I’ve been here well over half my life,” said

the 38-year-old Smith, who was a punter for Notre Dame’s football team before being drafted by the Indianapolis Colts. “I met my wife and most of my best friends and my band (in Indiana). This is what we call home. This is where we want to live and die.”

So, it’s not odd the Zionsville resident’s “Indiana Moon” has been chosen as the anthem Indiana bicentennial celebrations. 

“What an honor,” Smith said. “It’s not just a song that will be played a couple of times. It’s part of the history of the bicentennial.”

The Hunter Smith Band will play during the Indiana Bicen-tennial Hoosier Homecoming Oct. 15 and the Sunday’s In-spirational Celebration at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis on Dec. 11, Indiana’s official 200th birthday.

Smith said his song was discussed for a few months and then recently confirmed as the anthem.

One of Smith’s guitar players, Ethan Ehrstine, had the idea for a song called “Indiana Moon.”

“He brought it to me, and I wrote the song,” Smith said. “As the principal songwriter, guys bring me ideas, and we develop them.”

Inspiration struck Smith when bouncing around on the trampoline with his kids and the moon was bright.

The song is on the band’s second album “Story,” released in 2015. The band will play at Back Porch Revival concert in Iowa City, Iowa, Aug. 27, opening for Blake Shelton.

Where’s Amy sees ‘Hoagy’Where’s Amy sees ‘Hoagy’

Where’s Amy snagged a sold-out ticket to the one-night staged reading of “Hoagy On My Mind” performed by Actor’s Theatre of Indi-ana. Local award-winning playwright Kenyon Brown conceived and wrote the new musical, which delighted and dazzled the audience with his clever story about Hoagy Carmichael, a native of Bloomington. ATI professional ac-tors dressed in black and white, gathered on stage and read the script in a live format while mixing in the songs of Hoagy Carmi-chael. I was so intrigued by the story and performances of the actors that I forgot I was watching a live-screened, staged version of

Brown’s new musical. The performance gave the attending guests

a chance to see a musical in the making and have the opportunity to give suggestions and/or raise questions for the cast, and most importantly Brown. The verdict was clear the audience loved “Hoagy” and gave it a well-deserved standing ovation. I truly was amazed by the works of Brown and, as always, ATI never disappoints. Keep your eyes peeled for the new musical “Hoagy On My Mind,” it’s a hit. Where’s Amy looks forward to seeing you at the 2016-17 ATI season. For more, visit atistage.org.

CCP presents kids concerts

If you’re looking for a new way to en-tertain the kids on a Monday morning,

Carmel Clay Parks and Recre-ation hosts the Summer Kids Concerts series, which runs

until Aug. 1. The hour-long concerts, either at West Park or River Heritage Park, start at 10 a.m. every Monday.

“I think moms and kids are always looking for new things to get involved in. It’s a great way to expose young children to the arts,” said Traci Broman, events supervisor.

Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation pairs with Anderson & Beck, a booking company, to schedule the talent. There is a different act each week, which can range from a solo performer to a group of four. This summer includes Ruditoonz, Island Breeze Duo, Tides Duo, Kid Kazooey and Jump & Hop.

Along with their songs, performers bring a variety of instruments and even a few dance moves. Broman said the entertainers often interact with the audience to get them on their feet.

“(The performers) have a dance they teach the kids to go along with the songs

or hand motions or they do the limbo,” Bro-man said.

And the best part: it’s free. Kona Ice is present at each concert selling shaved ice and a portion of their profits benefit the parks and recreation department so it can continue to offer low cost events.

Those interested are free to show up at the event or register in advance online. Bro-man said the concerts are rather popular so it is best to show up early for parking purposes.

Fairfield Four to play July 16

MUsIC

By Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

Joe Thompson has deep roots in The Fair-field Four. 

His cousins, brothers Harold and Rufus Carrethers, founded the a cappella gospel group at

Fairfield Baptist Church in Nashville, Tenn., in 1921.

“I’m 81 now, and I was in high school when they first got me involved,” Thompson said.

This is the third generation of The Fairfield Four, which will play at 8 p.m. July 16 at The Warehouse, 254 First Ave. SW., Carmel.

“All the guys in the group have all been Bible-based guys,” said Thompson, a bass singer. “They’ve had five or six preachers in the group. We keep God in the midst of every-thing we do.”

The group plays at a variety of venues, but The Warehouse’s living-room concert style suits it.

“We just want to make sure we can reach out and touch our audience,” said Larrice Byrd, a baritone. “We really believe in engaging our audience.”

Bobbye Sherrell, 63, was the last one to join the group five years ago.

“They made it comfortable and easy for me to come in,” said Sherrell, a tenor. “They accepted me, and we all had the same frame of mind in form of places of worship and the same songs. We are a family now.”

Byrd, the youngest at 62, and Levert Allison, 78, a tenor, joined at the same time seven years ago.

“We have very good chemistry,” Allison said. In 2015, the group won a Grammy Award

for Best Roots Gospel Album, “Still Rockin’ My Soul.”

The group will play several cuts from that album “and all the stuff the generations have done,” Allison said.

INsIde & OUT

Try new, hot home trends

Live and love life outdoors

Take a note from the most recent Houzz report and redo your liv-ing space in style. (Submitted photo)

INTerIOrs

desIgN

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Finally, the technology-induced drought for outdoor living has been reversed!

Our children initiated this fun-sucking drought fueled by all things FANG (Facebook/

Amazon/Netflix/Google). They preferred to be nailed in front of a screen chatting with “friends”, binge-watching the latest series and Googling the world instead of climbing a tree or playing kickball in the church lot. Sadly, we followed them indoors and the drought commenced.

Hummus. Dates. Wine. Now that we have improved our habits

and pushed the kids outside, sales of hum-mus, gulping wine, books and outdoor enter-taining ware are off the charts, smiles have returned and our pasty skin shows sign of life. A recent report notes that the average size home built over the last two years has decreased by 10 percent to allow enough space for outdoor patio living.

We are heading in the right direction.Natural

This featured project is proof that when we

design with emotion and create the right vibe, cool outdoor living spaces can have an impact on how we live, work and entertain. A classic ipe wood deck gracefully opens onto a natural flagstone patio packed with earthy rich tones that accentuates the leafy surrounds. These ir-regular 36”x36” slabs of flagstone solidly anchor the backyard and hosts gobs of gatherings around the oversized, gas fed, fire feature.

The woodsy setting set the tone for the design and somewhat limited the plant pallet, yet plenty of low maintenance color occurs four seasons of the year. Yes, all four sea-sons of interest.

Save yourself. Save your children. Let’s implement a FANG diet and increase our outdoor living consumption. Consume more sun and fun. Consume more joy, more hope and nature induced relaxation as we discover why outdoor living is cool again!

Commentary by David Decker

Kitchens aren’t just for cooking anymore. Houzz,

a digital leader in home design and inspiration, recently released a report detailing consumer trends in kitchen design. Included was how consumers are using their kitchens and the functionality that may have changed over the years. A majority of people report spending three to four hours per day in the kitchen, with activities rang-ing from eating to entertaining to doing homework.

With the kitchen commanding such a large number of activities, the design and functionality is extremely important. A large reason homeowners renovate is to improve the flow and open it up to either another interior space, such as a living room, or to an outdoor patio or porch. Homeowners con-tinue to blend living and functional areas of their homes, allowing them to enjoy all areas more easily.

Once they have opened up their kitchens, a majority of homeowners are changing the style during the renovation. Countertops are one area where design and style start to take shape. When considering kitchen countertops, consumers reported durability as most important and still prefer the beauty that natural stone offers. Despite the rise of quartz, granite is still the most-used stone among countertop materials. Multi-colored countertops were the most-requested coun-tertop color, which granite offers. Nearly one in four consumers are using more than one countertop material in their kitchen, which offers a whole new and unique design

element. Shaker-style cabinets were the popular

cabinet for kitchen renovations and 42 percent were custom made. Additionally, more than 1/3 of cabinets were white, while medium-colored wood followed. With their new cabinets, most consumers reported new storage as a prior-ity in their kitchen renovations. Pullout waste cabinets, cookie sheet organizers and lazy Susans were the top-three-requested storage solutions, though spice and utensil organizers also were popular.

Almost three-quarters of homeowners will replace their flooring during their kitchen ren-ovation. Of those, majority are, not surpris-ingly, replacing with hardwood floors. Durable and timeless, hardwood floors can make any kitchen look elegant and ready to entertain.

Establishing ethos

grAMMAr gUY

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

How does one become a Grammar Guy? In my case, I graduated with honors (Latin

honors!) with a dual-degree in journalism and English, I was the

managing editor of a newspaper, and I knew what an interrobang was. Also, when the job opened up, I asked.

How does one establish ethos with their audience? See above.

Whatever I go on to say now – as long as it’s about grammar – I’ve foregrounded a sense of expertise and authority on my part. That is what Aristotle dubbed ethos – one of the three modes of persuasion.

If you read last week’s column, you know we’re talking about rhetoric and the art of persuasion on the campaign trail. And in our (still presumptive, as of this writing) Demo-cratic and Republican candidates, we see two very different methods of establishing ethos.

Hillary Clinton tends to lead first with her credentials and experience – what Aristotle called phronesis. Consider this passage from his “Nicomachean Ethics:”

“…Prudence (phronesis) includes a knowl-edge of particular facts, and this is derived

from experience, which a young man does not possess; for experience is the fruit of years.”

In her opponent, Donald Trump, we see more of an emphasis on Aristotle’s two other aspects of ethos: arete (excellence/virtue) and eunoia (goodwill).

Trump is, by nearly all accounts, a su-premely gifted self-promoter, which is key to establishing ethos. Consider this quote from a speech in December:

“I went to an Ivy League school,” Trump said, a point he frequently brings up to estab-lish his excellence. “I’m very highly educated. I know words. I have the best words.”

Trump also repeatedly points to his suc-cessful business ventures, his great personal fortune and his trouncing of his Republican rivals as proof of his virtue (arete). Ethos. Ethos. Ethos.

In another skillful rhetorical move, the New York real estate mogul in June both tried to damage Clinton’s perceived goodwill with vot-ers (eunoia) while building his own. Referenc-ing Clinton’s campaign slogan, “I’m with her,” Trump told a crowd on June 22, “You know what my response to that is? I’m with you, the American people.”

It’s worth noting that establishing ethos doesn’t happen just because you say you’re great – there has to be some grounding in reality. Trump can promote his image as a deal-maker because of his successes in business. Clinton can frame herself as the foreign policy expert because of her vast experience as a first lady, senator and secretary of state. Me claiming either of those things? Not as persuasive. That’s why I stick to snarky grammar columns.

Coming up next week: “Moving mountains, and minds, with pathos.”

Illusions of the Parthenon

TrAvel

Commentary by Don Knebel

The Parthenon, atop the Athens Acropolis, represents the epitome of classical architec-

ture and the inspiration for build-ings around the world, including the United States Supreme Court

Building. Its timeless appearance results from a number of clever optical refinements reflecting the perceptiveness of ancient Greek architects.

Pericles, the great Athenian leader, erected the Parthenon from 447 to 432 B.C. to celebrate the accomplishments of the citizens of Athens, then at the peak of its power. The 228-foot-long by 101-foot-wide building sheltered a colossal gold and ivory statue of Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. Because Athenians did not enter the Parthenon, but observed it from outside, architects designed the exterior to communicate visual perfection by taking into account the limitations of human perception. As a result, the Parthenon has no straight lines.

To counter the perception that vertical parallel lines bow inwardly, the middles of the Parthenon’s marble columns are slightly wider

than their ends. Because columns set against the bright sky appear smaller than those against a darker background, the diameters of the corner columns are about six centi-meters larger than those of other columns. To overcome the perception that horizontal lines sag, the Parthenon’s lintels curve slightly upward. Because a triangular pediment makes columns below it appear to bend outward, the Parthenon’s columns are closer to each other at their tops than at their bases.

The Parthenon was severely damaged in 1687, when gunpowder stored in it by the Ottomans exploded during a battle with the Venetians. In 1931, a full-scale replica of the Parthenon, based on ancient descriptions and including a magnificent statue of Athena, was completed in Centennial Park in Nashville, Tenn.
