Police are describing an altercation that led to a Zionsville homeowner being shot in the leg

March 14 as appearing to be “a very random act.”

Police said that the suspect came to the door of a home in the 4300 block of Creekside Pass in Austin Oaks and requested to use some pliers. After the homeowner, George T. Eyrich, 58, retrieved the pliers, the suspect at-

tempted to force his way into the home. Eyrich, whom officers said was the only person living in the home, tried to stop him, and the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot Eyrich in the right leg before fleeing the scene in an unknown vehicle.

The Zionsville Police Dept., Boone County Sheriff’s Office and Carmel Police Dept. set up a perimeter and canvassed the area. ZPD and CPD units used police dogs in an attempt to locate the suspect, who is described as a black male, about 25 years old, 5’8”, 160 pounds wearing a

black leather jacket. “Law enforcement was at the residence with-

in two minutes of the call. There was a massive canvassing of the area, … and nothing came of that,” ZPD Sgt. Adrian Martin said. “We’re looking at the other side of the coin as well to make sure there isn’t any foul play there either.”

Police questioned Eyrich at St.Vincent Hos-pital, where he was transported to be treated for the gunshot wound and a laceration to his forehead. Martin said Eyrich had surgery March 15 and is expected to make a full recovery.

Brain Game win – Congratulations to the ZCHS Brain Game team who competed against University High School recently and won in the quarterfinal by a score of 44-25. The match will air at 7 p.m. March 26 on WTHR Channel 13. The Eagles move on to the semifinals to face Anderson High School on April 13.

Liquor license bill approved – A bill that would provide four additional liquor licenses to Zionsville, Whitestown, Lebanon, Carmel, Westfield and Fishers has been approved by the Indiana state legislature and is on its way to the governor’s desk. State law distributes liquor licenses based on population, but with a census done only once every 10 years, officials from fast-growing towns argued that they miss out on economic development opportunities because of a lack of liquor licenses.

Zionsville named Tree City USA – Zionsville has been named a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management. Zionsville achieved Tree City USA recog-nition by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclama-tion.

Zionsville elementary schools have been without dedicated physical education teach-

ers since 2011, but starting in August they’ll be back – and bet-

ter, school officials say. The Zionsville Community

Schools board of trustees on March 14 approved the addition of five elementary wellness instructors and two employees to support expanded Project Lead the Way programs in the middle schools.

“Every elementary student in the district will benefit from having trained educators de-livering wellness education,” ZCS Supt. Scott Robison stated. “Our classroom teachers have done an amazing job teaching physical education during the last five years, but it is well past time that we restore professionals with expertise in this area.”

District officials eliminated specialized teachers for PE and science in 2011 following state cuts to local school funding and the failure of a referendum. A referendum passed in 2012 helped restore the science teachers, and in November 2015, voters passed another referendum that included funds to restore PE teachers.

ZCS Chief Operations Officer Rebecca Coff-man said that the job description for the new hires will be a bit different than what it was in the past, and that their title will be well-ness educators.

“It’s not just going to come back as it was, but much better, a much more robust oppor-tunity for our children,” Coffman said.

Coffman pointed to the success of STEM programs – which focus on science, technol-ogy, engineering and math – as proof of suc-cess when curriculum is retooled. The district also cut STEM programs in 2011 but restored them at the elementary level through the 2012 referendum. Earlier in the school board

meeting, Indiana Supt. of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz recognized ZCS for being the first district in the state to have all of its elementary schools achieve Certified STEM School status.

“We only have 12 in the state now, so you’re one of the first dozen to be STEM certified,” Ritz said. “The kids will benefit from this for years to come.”

In other business, the board declared the HVAC failure at Zionsville Community High School as an emergency and voted to allow the project to be awarded once bids are re-ceived and reviewed.

The failing technology is about 20 years old and causes the system to default to heat-ing the building. With warmer weather on the way, officials said the repairs need to be made as soon as possible. They hope crews can begin making the fixes during spring break.

ZCS Chief Financial Officer Michael Shafer said he expects the project to cost between $90,000 and $300,000, depending on if the district decides to fix only the failed units or all of the aging units. He said repair costs should be covered through extra funds from previous construction projects associated with the high school addition and funds that are currently uncommitted.

Legally blind driver seeks to set speed record By Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

Speed has always been a passion for Rickey Calhoun. So he’s not letting his loss of

sight deter him from his dream of setting a land-

speed record.“I used to do a lot of

street racing and circle-track driving,” Calhoun said. “I did that weekends for many years until my eyes blew up and I lost the centers out of each eye.”

Calhoun, a legally blind Indianapolis resi-dent, had an optic nerve hemorrhage in both eyes and had to close his construction com-pany. It took four years for him to re-learn how to walk. He was forced to go on disability and struggled for years. Calhoun said using Bosma Enterprises rehabilitation services has helped him cope with his vision loss.

Now Calhoun is hoping to set a land speed record at Utah’s famous Bonneville Salt Flats in September. The current record for a blind driver is 200.9 mph.

“I’m going after the sighted records,” Cal-houn said, adding no one has gone faster than 267 miles per hour in a production-bodied car.

“We want to compete with big boys.”Mariel Betron, Bosma internet marketing

specialist and Zionsville resident, has helped encour-age Calhoun to pursue his dream.

“I’m going to be his navi-gator for the first run,” said Betron, who used to ride motorcycles. “I’m almost like his eyes during the run.”

Calhoun, 55, and his team are trying to raise $20,000 to buy a white Chevrolet and have started a campaign at gofundme.com/rickeycalhoun. Those that contribute will have their names painted on the car.

If they are able to purchase the car, the first trial run is on black top at the Hot Rod Magazine Top Speed Challenge in Wilmington, Ohio, in May.

“There we’re trying to run 220 (mph),” Cal-houn said. “Then we’re trying to run El Mirage (Texas) and try to run 240 and 250 (mph). Then in Bonneville we’ll put in a new motor and try to run 301 (mph).”

Calhoun, now a Bosma employee, credits Bosma for helping him regain his confidence when he started there in 2013.

Kenric Massey, another Bosma employee

who has an eye disease called macular degen-eration, is serving as Calhoun’s crew chief.

“From conversation at work we found we had the same passion for cars,” Massey said. “We want to let it be known just because your vision im-paired or blind, you can still fulfill your dreams.”

Calhoun said he wants to silence the naysayers.

“There are so many that turn against you because you can’t see,” Cal-houn said.

Brian Dial, another Bosma employee, is serving as the mechanic. There are 22 mem-bers of his team, which has dubbed itself as the Blind Faith race team.

Calhoun wants to attempt the speed re-cord this year to surprise his mother Donna, 76, who has lung cancer and is in a Seymour nursing home.

“She was a hot rodder and drag racer and drove demolition derby,” Calhoun said. “It would mean a lot to her. We’re not even telling her until we know we got the car.”

If they are able to buy the car, Calhoun said they plan to auction it off after Bonneville and donate the money to Bosma Enterprises.

Dog found in dumpster secures a brighter future

Whitestown police are searching for the person who abandoned a dog in a construction dump-ster. The dog, now called Ray, is in good condi-tion. (Submitted photo)

By Chris Bavender • [email protected]

It’s been more than a week since a dog was found curled up, scared and wet in the corner

of a dumpster at a Whitestown con-struction site, and police still have no leads on who put him there.

A resident in the Clark Meadows neighbor-hood heard Ray – named after the Ray’s Trash Service dumpster he was found in – barking from inside the container and called police.

“Police don’t believe he had been there for too long. If I had to guess, he was prob-ably placed in there after area construction workers left for the day around 5 p.m.,” Mike Hancock, president of the Humane Society for Boone Co., said. “Our police department got the call around 6:30 p.m.”

Whitestown police and fire departments responded, as did Susan Austin, vice president of HSBC. It was Austin who climbed into the dumpster to rescue the dog.

Ray – who is believed to be around 8 years old – was in good condition and appeared to have been well taken care of prior to being found in the dumpster. After being assessed by a vet, Ray was placed in a foster home.

“He is doing really well there,” said Michelle Atkinson, director of fosters and adoptions for

HSBC. “He’s very sweet and loves the kids, but is a little shy with men.”

Where he came from – and who may have left him in the dumpster – remains a mystery.

“There (were people from) a neighborhood near Carmel – about 25 minutes from here – that said they had seen him running there for about a week and a half prior to this,” Atkin-son said. “Somehow he worked his way over here, so he’s been a stray for a while. But, he is in really good shape for a stray – not too

thin, nails in good shape, he’s neutered – he’s definitely been someone’s pet for the last eight years.”

Charges against the person who put Ray in the dumpster could include animal neglect and abandoning an animal – both misdemean-ors and carrying a sentence of up to one year in jail. There were no surveillance cameras in the construction area so police are relying on neighbors who might have seen something suspicious to help them solve the case.

Ray was put on a seven-day hold before he could be adopted to give his owner a chance to claim him in case he was stolen or ran off on his own. But Atkinson said no one has come forward.

“No vets have contacted us to say he looks familiar, but this is typically how it works out – the strays we get come out of thin air, and no one looks for them,” she said. “I have an 8-year-old dog, and if he got away from us we’d be a mess.

Atkinson said HSBC has had a number of voicemails from people requesting information about Ray. One of the responding Whitestown police officers also expressed an interest in giving the senior canine a home.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact WPD at 769-2677.

Show choirs end season on topBy Chris Bavender • [email protected]

Working “smarter,” working hard to be a good team, and being “good people on and

off the stage.” That’s what Aaron Coates believes makes the Zions-ville High School Choralaires and

Royalaires Show Choir members so good at what they do.

So good, in fact, they finished their competi-tion season with the Royalaires earning Grand Champion, Best Vocals, Best Visuals and Best Show; the Choralaires winning Grand Cham-pion of the unisex division; the crew winning Best Technical Crew and the Combooo win-ning Best Band at the Xtreme Choir Show-down in Lafayette.

The accolades followed a performance at the Nashville Heart of America Competition that also earned Grand Champion honors.

“Our Nashville trip was a rarity for our pro-gram. … We’d prefer to be closer to home so it’s easier on our families,” said Aaron Coates, co-director of the two show choirs. “However, we know that our kids (and organization) enjoy it. We enjoyed the opportunity to see schools’ programs from across the country.

He also credits the parent organization – Zionsville Show Choirs, Inc. – with contributing to the choirs’ success.

“The parents involved work diligently to make the kids have an opportunity to be successful,” Coates said. “They fund their staff, they support their experiences, they travel and lend support. We could not pay attention to detail as I men-tioned above without their support.”

Students become PSA starsBy Heather Lusk

[email protected]

Three students from Zionsville Com-munity Schools were selected for their

winning ideas in Bright House Networks and Net Literacy’s Stu-

dents Speaking Out for Safety Contest by answering the question, “If you had 30 seconds, what would you say to your friends and family members about how to be safe online?”

The students’ concepts were trans-lated into public service announcements that are airing on Bright House Networks during the month of March.

Zionsville Middle School sixth grader Holly Worth, Zionsville West Middle School fifth grader Grace Howe and Zionsville Community High School junior Victoria Martine were selected to have their concepts turned into a professionally produced commercial.

Grace Howe’s message, to recognize the importance of thinking before posting while applying to college or trying to get a job, is something she tries to practice.

“I was trying to angle it that if you

goofed off on the Internet and didn’t take it seriously, they would not really take you seriously,” she said.

Grace has not seen her message on television yet but has seen it on YouTube.

“I find it kind of weird that people other than my family or friends will see it,” she said.

According to Bright House, the short videos will also be used by teachers, parents and nonprofit organizations to reinforce effective and safe ways for kids to step in and help others on topics rang-ing from cyberbullying, social networking and privacy, as well as many other tough issues youth face online. Several hundred student entries were submitted for the contest.

“ZCS was thrilled to partner with Bright House Networks and Net Literacy to help promote internet safety. We are extremely proud of our students who created PSAs to help educate others on this very important topic,” said Kris Devereaux, director of academic services for ZCS.

The winning students will be recog-nized at the ZCS school board meeting April 11.

Ten Zionsville Community High School stu-dents have advanced to the national round of

the Business Profes-sionals of America Na-tional Leadership Con-

ference. BPA is a club for students nationwide to develop leadership skills and network.

ZCHS sent 35 students to the state confer-ence, held March 6 to 8 in Indianapolis.

“We had 10 students who qualified to the national level. Five of them were champions in their respective contests,” said Johnathan Gris-more, ZCHS business educator and BPA advisor.

Senior Madison McKinnon won first place in entrepreneurship for her business plan and pitch. She developed the plan over two years and had business professionals review and help revise it.

“For the presentation, I had several props and a live show,” McKinnon said. “I did a busi-ness plan for a bakery. It was called Madison Avenue Bakery, and I specialized in cake pops. I wanted it in Zionsville, so it was really on a local level.”

Senior Will Caldwell ranked second in the Human Resources Management category.

Jeff Thomasson has many fond memories of his Zionsville Community High School principal

Oliver Warner. “He was sensational at

keeping the rules firm but always had a smile on his face,” said Thomas-son, a 1976 ZCHS graduate. “He served under Gen. (George) Patton in the Battle of the Bulge (in World War II). His attention to detail and his ability to walk the walk and talk the talk was just superb. For whatever reason, for the life of me I don’t know what it was, but he took a liking to me and during my high school career he and I became close. He cheered me on and men-tored me. He and another teacher encouraged me to run for senior class president. I did, and I won. As a result, I became extra close with him my senior year.”

When Warner died at age 93 in November, Thomasson wanted to pay tribute to him by establishing the Oliver L. Warner Education Scholarship Fund. Thomasson started the fund

$8,000 per year, in perpetuity, to a ZCHS se-nior planning to go into a career in education.

It is one of the largest scholarship funds managed by the Community Foundation of Boone County.

“To this day I consider him to be a signifi-cant part of any success or blessings that

I’ve had in my professional career,” Thomasson said.

Thomasson, an India-napolis resident, is the CEO and a managing director of Oxford Financial Group, a wealth-management firm he founded in 1981.

The Warner family also made a generous gift to the scholarship fund.

Warner spent 10 1/2 years as a teacher and 23 1/2 years as a principal in the Zionsville school system. He retired in 1987 after seven years as assistant superintendent.

“My family is filled with humility, pride and thankfulness for this honor and tribute in honor of my husband,” said Berniece, who turns 93 March 28. “His whole career of 40 1/2 years in one school system is not a common happening.”

Troop 804 makes donation

Zionsville Boy Scout Troop 804 collected more than 1,800 pounds of food, $600 in dona-tions and toys and clothes during its second

annual winter donation drive to benefit The Car-ing Center of Lebanon,

which helps Boone Co. families in need. Troop 804 partnered with the Marsh in

Boone Village to provide areas for customers to make donations.

“Troop 804 makes it easy to help out,” Marsh Store Manager Larry Schultz said. “They were organized, provided signs and flyers, and the community benefits. It’s a win-win all around.”

When an 8-year-old Deborah Roach found herself on a family vacation in Tennessee,

she didn’t expect her father to be rushed to the hospital after

a heart attack. She didn’t expect to wind up alone with her brother in a desperate attempt to find transportation there. She most definitely didn’t expect to make lifelong friends along the way, and it was those friends that later inspired her to recount her misadventure in the form of a short story, leading to a career as a full-fledged author.

Roach’s father would go on to survive his heart attack, but her passion for writing wouldn’t spark until after college. Though she performed well in school, being the daughter of two immigrants brought more of an emphasis on speaking instead of read-ing. Now, the Zionsville resident and mother of three has utilized her skills as a story-teller to raise awareness of her son’s rare disease, Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, in “Rarity.”

“I wanted to give some hope to those

that are diagnosed with it,” Roach said. “Someone actually contacted me and said, ‘One of my family members died young of an aneurysm, and I wonder if they had some-

thing like this.’ I wanted it to be something that got people thinking and presented it in a way that’s for regular people.”

Roach’s latest offering, “Between the Bleeding Willows,” is decidedly more fantastical in nature. The first in a planned series, “Between the Bleeding Willows” follows a young

girl named Cassidy who suffers the incred-ible loss of her grandmother and boyfriend. When she goes looking for an old heirloom, she’s unexpectedly thrown into a magical realm full of demons and monster hunters.

“There was this abandoned cemetery near where I lived, and I remember stories saying, ‘Oh yeah, the devil worshippers go there at night and have rituals,’ so I was petrified,” Roach said.

“Between the Bleeding Willows” and “Rar-ity” are now available on Amazon US and UK in both paperback and Kindle editions. Fans and readers can follow Roach on Twit-ter at @daroach12books and facebook.com/DARoachDA.

Center, each pound of food translates into $1.66 or $2,994.64 for the food donation brought in by Troop 804.

“Citizenship in our community is one of the most important values that we are teaching our young men in scouting,” Scoutmaster of Troop 804 Greg Hoyes said. “Partnering with a local organization where we can make an impact on families that we call neighbors can have a huge effect on how a young person stays connected to their community. It also shows them that all efforts big and small can make a difference.”

Troop 804 plans to continue its partnership with The Caring Center by volunteering when extra help is needed, especially after local food drives to help sort and process donations.

ObITUarY: WelTON WINaNs “arT” harrIs II

Welton Winans “Art” Harris II, who died March 10 in Zionsville, was born Aug. 9, 1936, in Brooklyn, N.Y, the son of Welton W. and Wanda Jensch Harris, both deceased.

Art spent his boyhood in Greenville, Del., where he attended Tower Hill School in nearby Wilmington. Upon moving to Indianapolis in 1950, he attended Shortridge High School, graduating in 1954. He then earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Indiana University.

Wisconsin was his second home. There he spent summers at the family’s beloved cot-tage on Sand Island in Lake Superior.

An award-winning journalist, Art had a long, distinguished career at the Indianapolis News and later, at the Indianapolis Star. Upon retirement, he became involved in small town government and was twice elected to four-year terms on the Zionsville Town Council.

Lifelong interests include preservation of the environment and its natural resources, books and in particular the World War II era and dogs, especially his succession of black

Labrador Retrievers. A former president of the Indianapolis

Press Club, Art was currently a board member of the Apostle Islands Historic Preservation Conservancy. Among his memberships were Sigma Chi Fraternity, Woodstock Club and St. Francis In-the-Fields Episcopal Church.

Survivors include his wife, Elizabeth (Betsy) Brockway Harris of Zionsville; his son, Wel-ton W. (Wes) Harris III of Nashville, Ind.; his stepdaughter, Ayun Brockway Halliday and husband Gregory Kotis of New York City; his grandchildren Welton W. (Wade) Harris IVand wife Erin of Ann Arbor, Mich., Alexandra (Ali) Harris of Bloomington, Ind., India and Milo Kotis of New York City, and his sister and brother-in-law, Phebe and Logan Blackburn of Indianapolis and Key Colony Beach, Fla.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are suggested to St. Francis Church or the donor’s preferred charity. Arrangements entrusted to A.R.N. Funerals and Cremations.

Kids can sleep anywhere

plaIN Talk

Commentary by Ward Degler

Some young smart alec recently asked me what I missed most about being a kid.

“Sleep,” I said. “The unfettered ability to flop down anywhere at any time and sleep.”

Babies, I seem to recall, sleep all the time, except between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m. Between the ages of two and six, kids run at turnpike speed until they run out of gas and slip into a coma. A friend of mine used to wait until the noise stopped, then go search for his five-year-old son. He usually found him in the middle of the floor, asleep in mid-stride, toys still in hand.

By the time kids reach the teen years, they have perfected sleep to a precise art form. I once drove to central Missouri with my teen-age granddaughter in the passenger seat. She woke only to use the restroom when I stopped for gas and when something deep within her unconscious psyche told her she was hungry. And, oh yeah, she had just gotten out of bed when we started the trip.

In college I learned I could stay awake most of the night studying and catch up on sleep in 15-minute spurts between classes. Later

in the military, I was able to sleep anywhere, outdoors in the rain, on a pile of rocks and even standing up, propped against a tree. We had one guy in our outfit that could actually drift off while marching.

Early in my career I loved weekends be-cause I could sleep for 12 hours straight, get up, eat something and go back to sleep. Somewhere on the south side of 60, however, I lost that ability. I started waking in the mid-dle of the night to go to the bathroom.

Then there is my stuffy nose, and some pesky arthritis in at least half of my joints. Before I can get to sleep I have to thrash around for a few minutes until I find a position that will allow me to breathe and to be relatively pain-free.

Luckily, I have discovered an over-the-coun-ter allergy medicine that helps clear my nose. It also has the sweet side effect of making me sleepy. The odd thing is, it’s made for children. It says so right on the label.

And they don’t need it.

For the 25th year, the first major event to kick off the season at Lions Park will be the

Eggnormous Easter Egg Hunt. It is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. March 26.

The first event of the day will be a break-fast for a donation, sponsored by McDonald’s. It will include breakfast burritos and other on-the-go items. At 9:30 a.m., the Easter bunny will arrive for photos, and the egg hunts will kick off at 10 a.m. A variety of different activi-ties will be available, such as face painting and relay games, such as an egg toss.

“It’s fun to see the kids in Lions Park have a good time,” said Leigh Ann Akard, one of the organizers of the event. “It’s really the start of us opening up the park season and getting excited about the park.”

For those who forget, Easter baskets will be available for a donation, while supplies last.

The egg hunts are divided by age groups, and for the older kids a rubber duck scaven-ger hunt will take place on a few of the fields.

“Little ducks are put out with the eggs, and on the duck is a card to tell the kid which merchant in Zionsville to go to and redeem a prize,” Akard said.

Other than donations for breakfast and Easter baskets, the event is free.

Volunteers arrive at the park at 7 a.m. to place the 13,000 Easter eggs around various fields. The eggs will be filled with candy, stick-ers and small prizes.

“The Alpha Leo Club will be down at the park,” Akard said. “They help the Lions Club spread the eggs and will have a bake sale in the park as well.”

Geese Police uses handpicked border collies to keep pesky birds at bay

• It has a life span of up to 24 years.• The average nest size is 5 to 8 eggs.• Population growth ranges from 10 to 17 percent annually.• An adult goose will drop between 1.5 and 2 pounds of fecal

matter daily.• In spring and summer, geese concentrate their feeding on

grasses and sedges. During fall and winter, they rely more on berries and seeds, including agricultural grains. Two sub-species have adapted to urban environments and graze on domesticated grasses year round.

• Geese are imprinting birds. Adult geese typically return to the same nesting sites each spring. Goslings born on the property will return to that site when able to mate (typically age 2).

• From mid-June thru late July, adult geese molt their pin feathers ren-dering them flightless for up to a six-week period.

• Migratory geese have a flight range of 2,000 to 3,000 miles

• Resident geese have a flight range around 100 to 200 miles to find food, water and safety.

They’re on patrol seven days a week, eyes trained to spot perpetrators hiding around every corner. Their marked vehicles

are loaded with all of the necessary weapons to safely fulfill their mission.

Which, in this case, is chasing away Canada geese.

Six years ago, Michael and Sally Wyatt launched the only Indiana-based franchise of the Geese Police, a service that uses specially trained border collies to remove the pesky birds from properties. Clients include schools, office parks, cemeter-ies, apartment complexes and more.

The Zionsville couple and their employees patrol their routes throughout Central Indiana two to three times each day. If geese are present at a stop, the herding dogs startle them away not with a snarl or a bark but with an intense stare known as “the eye.”

“By their stalking and the eye, the geese believe they are be-ing tracked by a predator, and their preservation instinct kicks in, and they leave,” Michael said. “The dog’s desire is to get to the other side of the birds and get them to my feet, but they don’t have a chance because the birds fly away.”

The dogs never touch the geese, which has led to the Geese Police’s methods being recommended by Humane Society of the United States and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

“We’re providing a service that is humane,” Sally said. “It’s a green process, too. We don’t use chemicals. We don’t use any-thing to harm the environment.”

Hatching a planThe idea for the Geese Police of Central Indiana hatched

several years ago when Sally was working at Altum’s Horticul-ture and Landscape, where geese would often congregate in the ponds.

Michael would bring the family’s Australian shepherd to Al-tum’s in an attempt to put her to work chasing off the geese, but it soon became clear that wasn’t a viable solution.

“It became obvious very quickly that the Aussie had no in-terest in the geese,” Michael said. “All she wanted to do was socialize with the people at the nursery.”

He began to wonder, however, if other types of dogs or training methods had worked in this situation, and his re-search led him to Geese Police, Inc., which is based out of

New Jersey. The couple decided to visit the company founder to learn more and agreed that they wanted to start their own franchise.

“It was a natural thing to be able to work with dogs, and we didn’t know anything about geese at the time,” Michael said. “Obviously we’ve learned a lot since then.”

Now, the Wyatts are experts in Canada geese behavior, signs of aggression and vulnerabilities. They’ve developed a respect for the bird, which they describe as beautiful, majestic and stubborn. And although their job is to chase them away, they do what they can to try and protect them.

Canada geese.One adult goose can leave more than a pound of drop-

pings per day, and it can include giardia, e coli, toxoplasmosis and other harmful parasites and bacteria. The geese are also known for destroying grassy areas and have raised concerns about their effect on water quality.

The Canada goose population grows by 10 to 17 percent an-nually or more, Michael said, and with few natural predators, the Geese Police foresee continued growth in numbers – and conflict with humans – in the future.

“They’re gorgeous birds. They’re very majestic in a lot of ways,” Sally said. “Unfortunately they’re not serving a purpose where they are.”

The perpetrators: Canada geese

In the summertime, for example, the geese molt their pin feathers, leaving them unable to fly for about six weeks. People are often unaware of this, Michael said, and expect the geese to launch into the air as they drive toward them. Many of the birds don’t survive these encounters.

When Sally sees the birds waddling across the road in the summertime, she leaps into action.

“I will stop, park, get out and stop traffic and help them get across the road,” she said, “because it’s the right thing to do.”

The problem The Wyatts said they hear reaction from across the spec-

trum when they’re working a site, from people asking why they don’t just kill the geese to those who become angry that they are disturbing the birds. They spend a lot of time educat-ing people about their methods and the problems caused by

COMMUNITY



Commentary by Terry Anker

Some families know adoption. Sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews – all can trace their blood lines to a terminus other than their own. Our own family is one of them. Who we are and where we come from can be a bit more complicated for some of us than others. Moreover, some of us care, a lot – really, a lot, unable to sleep, obsession, a lot – while others of us dismiss the whole affair as if the past is as irrelevant as 1950s morals at a Kardashian family reunion.

“Long Lost Family” on cable television undertakes to unearth the buried past of exploring adoptees. It films the search of adults seeking their own now, even more adult, progenitors. The “birth parents” may or may not be friendly to being “discovered” by their biological children. With the pas-sage of time (one would hope), perspectives have matured and folks are better prepared to reconcile their own complicated pasts. The stories are varied, but all are emotional.

How is it that we define who we are? Some is by what we do. Some is by where we spend our time. Some is by how we live. Yet context cannot complete the picture. There is more to the portrait. Who do we believe we are? Certainly, what others think matters; but it is our own perception that colors the scene.

What is our story? What is our past? Can our history help predict our future? Adopted or not, what do we really know about our history? Can we adopt a future? Some of us are completely disinterested in anything in the rear view mirror; while others cannot move forward without full knowledge. How can we get to our destination if we don’t know where we are? Perhaps, we each decide our own story – if not the text, then certainly the interpretation.

Q U O T e O F T h e W e e k

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

So here is the rundown on the current situation at Chez Wilson. Our kitchen is

completely gutted. We have no cabinets, no oven and no stovetop. A thick layer of

drywall dust coats the entire first floor. I’ve come home the last three days to find the dog, who appears to somehow have broken her tail, eating trash under the makeshift dining room table. Doo and I argue nightly over light fixtures, our latch-key children are living off of dry cereal and canned pasta, and the one break I get from dealing with the catastrophe of our house – jogging – consistently results in me peeing my pants. (Seriously, how does one hydrate efficiently without needing a Depends?) Let me also point out that I gave up not only my beloved Diet Crack but all soda for Lent. At least Jesus knows I’m taking my sacrifices very seriously this year.

And yet, life is good. The kids complain about the lack of home-cooking, but seem excited about the renovations. Doo and I waste hours debating the virtues of pendant lighting versus wagon-wheel chandeliers but have had many quality dates at Home Depot. Our pets are taking advantage of doors left open, food left on the ground and the perpetual mud baths created as we drive through the yard every morning to navigate a narrow drive-way with three cars since our garage has been converted into a temporary U-Store-It unit. Yes, this past week has been every bit annoying as that last run-on sentence!

How long can our sanity last? Who knows, but I’m proud of our stick-togeth-erness so far. We may all stroke out by the end of the month from the number of high sodium frozen foods we’re ingesting, and I might off Doo in his sleep if he con-tinues to insist on wainscoting instead of beadboard, but with spring clearly on her glorious way in, the outlook is positive.

There’s definitely a light and a case of Diet Coke at the end of this remodel tun-nel. If only I could do something about the stupid incontinence. Peace out.

It would be an over-generalization to state here that all liberals hate the right to exercise free speech. We happen to believe, though, that many do, and what follows is the latest example … aside from the Trump-related throwdowns. California State University Los Angeles Presi-dent William Covino recently abruptly canceled a speech by conservative author and advocate Ben Shapiro. The speech was titled, “When Diver-sity Becomes A Problem.” According to reports, twice it was approved by the student budget board and was sponsored by the conservative student group, Young America’s Foundation. But liberal groups aggressively protested Shapiro’s pending appearance and one professor threat-ened to wrestle conservative students who sup-ported the event. That, right there, is big, higher-education thinking. Covino sent an email to YAF saying it would be best to reschedule Shapiro for another time as part of a panel offering dif-ferent viewpoints on the topic. Liberal-focused speeches, including “Exploring Whiteness” and “Do Muslim Women Really need Freedom?” went on as scheduled. How much closer to fascism can this campus leader get? Plain and simple: Shapiro was denied his right to free speech. We have a new slogan for Cal State-LA: “Where you are free to speak your mind – as long as it meets with our agenda.” Of course, the mostly liberal mainstream media made zero stink about this. Heck, even comedians get it. Jerry Seinfeld said last year he avoids the politically correct college campuses at all costs, and the same goes for Larry the Cable Guy and Chris Rock. Sad but true, and we’ve come to expect the kind of behavior shown at Cal State-LA, and you should, too. It’s not where we’re headed as a nation, it’s where we are.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I was watching “House of Cards” one after-noon and suddenly the TV’s sound went off. I

got out the cable manual. Every troubleshooting guide begins with the assumption you are

clueless.1. Does your house have power?2. Is your unit plugged in?3. Is the switch in the ON position?4. Are you taking all your meds?I called the 800 number and explained

the problem I was having. Dennis, their rep, required my PIN number, but I couldn’t remem-ber it.

“In that case, I have to ask you a security question you chose. Who is your favorite movie actor?”

I was drawing a blank.“Could we use my wife’s maiden name,

instead? How about my favorite superhero? Come on, work with me here.”

Wait, maybe it was Mary Ellen who an-swered the security question. I called her on my cell phone.

My wife was in an important meeting, but I was desperate. “Could you interrupt her?” I pleaded with the receptionist. “Please ask her

who her favorite actor is.”Apparently, Mary Ellen didn’t believe I would

bother her at work for something that stupid. “That can’t possibly be my husband,” she told the secretary. “Ask him the name of his first pet. It’s Slowpoke.”

Well, I blew that question, too. I answered Bosco, who was my first dog. I forgot about that silly turtle I got when I was 4.

Then I remembered writing the PIN number on the back of the TV. Dennis did some kind of reset and soon the audio returned. But it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t remember who my favorite actor was, so I asked Dennis to tell me who I had picked.

“Oh, I can’t tell you that, sir. That would be a breach of security.”

“Wait a second, you’re not allowed to tell me who my favorite actor is? That’s crazy.”

“Well, I suppose I can, but first I need to ask you a few security questions…”

For the third year, Gregory Hancock’s “SUPERHERO: the story of a man called

Jesus” will be returning to the Tarkington in Carmel.

“It’s becoming this an-nual tradition, audiences have asked for that, they like this production and want it to be an annual Easter holiday tradition,” said Hancock, the director of the show. “We are doing that; this is the sixth time we’ve presented it.”

The first three times the dance perfor-mance took place was at Pike Performing Arts Center, until Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre moved to 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel.

The dancers tell the story of the last week of Jesus’s life without any vocals.

“It is a contemporary retelling of that using modern music and contemporary music and I focus on the women in Jesus’s life, his mother and Mary Magdalen and the woman he meets at the well and the woman who wipes his face while carrying the cross,” Hancock said. “I think it is an interesting aspect that hasn’t been looked at as much and women were really impor-tant to him.”

Jesus’s relationship with Judas Iscariot is also portrayed. Hancock said the concert starts off with a rock feel and then arcs into more classical music throughout the performance.

“It focuses on Jesus as man more than as a god or savior, just more of a human and focuses on his struggles and having to come to terms with his fate and his desti-ny as a human being,” Hancock said. “These performances are starting to get a really big audience, church groups are becoming more interested in it. I don’t think you have to be of any particular faith to enjoy the show, it’s an interesting story and it’s a human struggle story.”

The dancers have to tell the story with just their bodies and their motion, and Han-cock said they have to be actors as well as dancers to pull off the performance. James Gilmer of Cincinnati, Ohio will play the char-acter of Jesus for his second year.

“James’s interpretation of Jesus is very different, his look is very different than

how Jesus was perceived, but that’s the beauty of doing a repertoire piece year after year is seeing different dancers or actors in those roles,” Hancock said. “I like the difference that James brings and the uniqueness that he brings to his interpre-tation of Jesus, that’s a pretty daunting role to tackle. He’s a beautiful dancer.”

Hancock said the audience often times gets very emotional, and experiences a large range of emotions.

“There’s a big arc, the performance is incredibly sad at one point and then incred-ibly uplifting a few moments later. We go through the resurrection and the crucifix-ion,” Hancock said. “Some scenes are very sad, very emotional but then it’s very uplift-ing and it’s light and beautiful at the end.”

Hancock said that the modern, rock feel of music at the beginning of the perfor-

mance takes people aback at first, but that the feeling gets lost the longer the perfor-mance goes on.

“It’s not just about Christianity,” he said, although the two performances do take place over Easter weekend. “People of all faiths can enjoy the beautiful dancing and music.”

Choco and peanut butter toastCommentary by Ceci Martinez

Teens, no need to drive to fast food joints! A real choco and peanut butter toast is a heavenly reward snack for those late night soccer practices or for a college student’s midnight treat. This yummy and healthy recipe is a breeze to prepare!

Note: Feeling the blues? There is evidence that chocolate makes us happier. Research scientists have isolated the chemical in choc-olate that makes us feel good. Tryptophan is what the brain uses to make the neurotrans-mitter serotonin. High levels of serotonin can produce feelings of elation.

Serves: 8Prep and cook time: 15 minutesIngredients:• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels• 8 slices thin white bread• 6 tablespoons Trader’s

Joe’s organic peanut but-ter (buy PB with no added oils, sugars and salt)

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

• 1/2 tablespoon sugarDirections: Preheat oven to 375F. Melt

the chocolate in the microwave. Spread four slices of bread evenly with peanut butter and the remaining four slices evenly with melted

chocolate. Sandwich the slices together. But-ter the outside of bread and sprinkle

lightly with sugar. Arrange sand-wiches on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes until gold-en brown. Let cool for few minutes. Cut each sandwich

into triangles. Serve warm with a cold glass of milk.

Behind Bars: Gaelic Fruit Punch Get it at Langton’s, Carmel Ingredients: 1.25 oz. vanilla Sobieski vodka, .75 oz. orange Sobieski vodka, .75 oz. lime juice, 1 oz. cranberry juice, Sprite, grenadine Directions: Shake together vodkas, lime juice, cranberry juice and grenadine. Top with Sprite and garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.

This mixture of sweet and salty beats any store-bought chocolate mix. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

‘The Diviners’ comes to Carmel

Pat Mullen, a local actor, will play the character of Buddy. (Submitted photo)

TheaTer


Oftentimes, Carmel Theatre Company per-forms plays written by Casey

Ross, yet Ross chose a dif-ferent type of

performance to honor Indiana’s 200th anniversary.

“The Diviners” is an Indiana play written by an Indiana play-wright at and Indiana college.

“It has a lot of Indiana his-tory, so I thought it was a cool play for us to do,” Ross said. “It’s set during the depres-sion, so you get to learn a little bit about what people in the Midwest thought about Hoover as a president and what was going on in the farming commu-nity in Indiana during that time.”

“The Diviners” was written by Jim Leonard Jr., who Ross met. Leonard attended Hanover Col-lege in Hanover, Ind. and wrote the play at Hanover College dur-ing the ‘70s. Ross also attended Hanover.

“I think it’s a really great script, it’s a larger

cast for us as a company,” Ross said. “This is a little different for us, we ordinarily do new plays or new works, specifically mine, but

this one is a classic American script. It’s a chance to do a more revered instead of a brand new one.”

The play has 10 characters, and takes place in the fictional southern Indiana town of Zion during the 1940s. It focuses on Buddy, the main character who is a mentally challenged boy and can divine water and meets a traveler that becomes his mentor and then falls in love with Buddy’s sister. Gossip, faith and suspicion are all part of the play.

The show will be performed at Studio 15, at 8 p.m. April 14-16 , 3 p.m., April 17, 8 p.m. April 21-23 and 3 p.m. April 24. Tickets are $15, or $12 for students and seniors. Local craft beer will be sold. Tickets are available by calling Carmel Theatre Company

at 688-8876 or visiting brownpapertickets.com.

Commentary by Tammy Wittmann

Allergy season has hit. If you are anything like me, this time of year can really be frus-

trating. One of the main areas affected is our eyes. Itchy, red, watery eyes are the telltale

signs of ocular allergies but can sometimes be symptoms of other ocular infections. It’s important to have your eyes checked by your eye doctor if you are having these symptoms to rule out more serious infections. Also, keep in mind that watery eyes alone are not nec-essarily allergy eyes. And you can also have allergic conjunctivitis and not experience any other allergy symptoms like sneezing and rhi-nitis (hay fever).

It’s important to note that the oral medica-tions you may be taking for your systemic symptoms do little to nothing for ocular aller-gies. Some of the prescription nasal sprays will help but the most effective treatment for ocular allergies is an eye drop. There are some over-the-counter drops that work well, but you want to steer clear of any of the “get the red out” drops. Also, stay away from gener-

ics in this case as well. Generics can have more preservative in them because they are not regulated by the FDA. More preservatives mean less active ingredient and more irrita-tion for the ocular tissues. The most effective treatments however are prescription eye drops.

Contact lens wearers may not realize they have ocular allergies but have symptoms such as decreased contact lens comfort and shorter wearing time. Also, contact lenses may have more deposits on them causing temporary decreased vision. Some contact lens wearers have to switch to a daily dispos-able lens during allergy season as well.

It is always best to have any ocular problem evaluated by your eye doctor to dif-ferentiate between allergic, viral or bacterial conjunctivitis as well as dry eye, since the treatments for each vary.

‘Tis the allergy season

are in place: no visitors with flu-like illness, fever or cough; no visitors under the age of 16; no visitors except immediate family, partner or significant other.

Cancer killing foods – Certain foods have been found to contain compounds that can kill cancer cells. They include:

1. Cherries – contain perillyl alcohol which de-stroys a wide range of cancer cells

2. Tumeric – contains curcumin which can pre-vent cancer cells from forming

3. Olive oil – protects the body from breast, prostate and colon cancer

Ginger for joint pain – Ginger juice is a natural treatment for relieving joint pain. Grate a large knob of fresh ginger, then squeeze the gratings through cheesecloth to extract the juice. Mix it with an equal amount of sesame oil and apply to aching joints. Ginger can produce a strong burn-ing sensation. If the sensation is uncomfortable, mix in more sesame oil to tone it down.

Mucus triggering foods – Our bodies produce mucus as a defense mechanism. Unfortunately, too much mucus can make colds and allergies miserable. Certain foods and beverages trigger mucus production in the body. The two worst of-fenders are dairy products and wheat. When you are suffering from a cold or allergy symptoms, cutting back on those two categories might provide some relief.

A group of nine students from Zionsville Community High School had the opportunity to pick the brains of several entrepreneurs at

zWORKS for a special lunch and learn March 11.

These students are among 60 who are part of a ZCHS class taught by Johnathan Grismore. In the midst of creating business plans for their course, many students took the opportunity to learn what an entrepreneur might face when starting a business.

zWORKS, the co-working space on Zions-ville’s Cedar Street, is home base for more than a dozen startup businesses.

The students asked the entrepreneurs questions about receiving assistance for financial projections, how to overcome com-petition and how to know when to continue with their idea or abandon it.

“We’ve got all this experience of what to do and what not to do,” said zWORKS Co-founder Dan Moyers.

Students learn about business from zWORKS entrepreneurs

dOUgh

“I think this will help figuring out how to actually implement (my business plan),” said senior Michelle Stallman of the discussion. “It was really informative.”

“People get into startups for two reasons – one is to fix a problem and the other is to make a lot of money,” said Jon Gillman, owner of Clear Software. “If you get into it to make a lot of money, you will probably fail. If you get into it to fix a problem, you will probably succeed.”

The teens were also reminded that they don’t need to find an original product but could instead find a way to improve an exist-ing one.

“The first person to market has monu-mental educational costs,” said Ken Minturn, owner of Kinji. “If you can use (other’s experi-ences) right, it can be a huge benefit.”

At the end of the discussion Moyers sug-gested that this dialogue take place on a quarterly basis.

“This has been an incredible experience,” he said.

St. Alphonsus Liguori Catholic Church

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Several times a year a F.H., or Frantic Home-owner, calls, texts or sends a frantic email

pleading for interven-tion with a neighbor. The sometimes hi-

larious stories all have a similar theme. “I love my neighbor, but…”

But … they just put in an obnoxious play-set that stares at me when we entertain in our sunroom. But … their ambitious patio space is seven feet form mine and I can hear every whispered word. But … they just removed their overgrown shrubs and now I have a direct view into their kitchen.

Please help!“I need privacy. Can you accomplish that

without being blatantly obvious that I’m trying to visually block my new view? Please help!” Those words predictably follow the frantic hello. Of course we can help.

This F.H. was my lovely wife thrilled that our great neighbors, who we adore, had strategi-cally placed a hot tub directly in our view from our sunroom and patio. Landscape architect Eric Beard promptly sketched the rusted privacy panel/cedar posts/beam structure pictured. Ten days later it was installed with

Generating privacy is a strong driver in today’s intimate mar-ket and there are many creative solutions that deviate from the traditional evergreen barrier. Imagine an abbreviated pergola with a custom lattice structure, drapes or a recessed shade.

Cucumbers sweeter when plant-ed near sunflowers – It might seem odd, but when planted near each other cucumbers will be much sweeter.

Use Egg Shells as fer-tilizer – Rich in calcium carbonate, dried egg shells work as a great natural fertilizer. Try crushing them up in a blender before throw-ing them in your gar-den to enrich the soil. Source: Huffington Post

Water plants with tea -- Cham-omile tea is great for keeping your plants healthy. Use it when watering to ward off bacterial and fungal infections and to prevent young seedlings from damping off. Just make sure the tea is completely cooled off first before you use it. Source: Huffington Post

Plant crocuses near lavender — Protect your crocuses by planting lav-ender nearby. Birds are more attract-ed to the fragrant flower, and it will prevent them from pecking away at your blooming bulbs. Source: Huffington Post

Consider plant place-ment – Keep your shorter plants on the south side of your vegetable garden and tall plants toward the north. This will pre-vent taller plants from casting unwanted shadows over smaller crops, shading them from the sun. Source: Huffington Post

Jesus forgiving Peter along Sea of Galilee. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Israel’s sacred lake

Travel

Commentary by Don Knebel

The Sea of Galilee in northern Israel is one of the world’s most famous bodies of water

because of its association with Jesus. Perhaps the best-known story about Jesus and the Sea of

Galilee occurred after his death. Only eight miles wide, with an area of less

than 65 square miles, the harp-shaped Sea of Galilee is more accurately called a lake. What-ever its name (the Bible also calls it the Lake of Gennesaret, the Sea of Tiberias and the Sea of Kinnereth), the Sea of Galilee is the lowest fresh water lake in the world. Lying in the Jordan Rift resulting from the separation of the African and Arabian plates, its surface is about 700 feet below the level of the Mediter-ranean Sea. The Sea of Galilee is fed primarily by the Jordan River, which flows into it from the north and then flows out of it for 88 miles south until it reaches the Dead Sea, the low-est lake in the world.

Jesus spent most of his earthly ministry

preaching in and around the fishing villages along the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, where his disciples lived and worked. His miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and the Sermon on the Mount took place on nearby hillsides. According to the “Gospel of John,” on a morning after his crucifixion in Jerusalem, Jesus suddenly appeared to some of his dis-ciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee after they had spent the night fishing, entirely with-out success. With guidance from Jesus, the fisherman filled their nets and joined Jesus for a fish breakfast ashore, where Jesus forgave Peter for having three times denied knowing him after his arrest. Today, a statue in Tabgha, an area on the northwest shore not far from Capernaum, remembers that event.

Easily open and reseal envelopes – You’ve signed and sealed the perfect greeting card inside its matching envelope and then realize you forgot to include something – like a gift card or check. You can reopen the envelope without destroying it. Place the envelope in the freezer for about three hours. Take it out and slide a letter opener or knife under the flap. It should open neatly and you can then reseal it after you’ve finished.

Grow roses in potatoes – Early spring is a great time to plant roses because of the mild temperatures. Here’s a trick for getting healthier bushes from your cuttings. Take a cut rose and push it into a small potato before planting. The potato will help the rose retain moisture and will provide important nutrients.

Organizing takeout menus – With today’s busy lifestyles, ordering takeout for dinner has become a frequent oc-currence. A pile of takeout menus, however, can clutter up kitchen space. Keep them neatly organized in a binder with clear plastic sleeves. Write the date you got the menu at the top and replace as the menu changes. Source: Bottom-LinePersonal.com

Dish detergent substitute – Need a substitute for dish detergent in a pinch? You can use shampoo as a stand-in. The best shampoo for dishes is one formu-lated for oily hair, as it will cut through greasy food buildup. Try to avoid using conditioning shampoo, as it may leave an oily residue on dishes.
