Budgets are tight for school districts around the state, leaving little room for extra things like
field trips or purchasing new technology. That’s why orga-nizations like the Zionsville
Education Foundation are so important to a school’s well-being.
ZEF Executive Director Tracy Phillips said the goal of the foundation is to “serve the local community by providing funds that promote academic excellence.”
In 2012, the ZEF granted more than $85,000 in un-restricted funds to ZCS teachers, students and staff.
“All the funds raised go straight into the classroom in the form of classroom grants, professional devel-opment grants for teachers and staff, student en-richment grants for exemplary after school academic clubs and matching of DonorChoose.org grants for ZCS schools,” Phillips said.
To be able to give out those grants, the ZEF needs to raise money. Besides donations and endowments, the ZEF holds two fundraisers each year. Coming up on Nov. 2, the ZEF is holding its annual Fall Frolic.
“We like to think of it as a grown-up tailgate,” Phil-lips said. “Fall Frolic is casual, allowing our guests to enjoy gourmet treats either walking around or visit-ing with friends and neighbors.” There will also be silent and live auctions for people to participate in. The auctions will be powered by Qtego online auc-tion bidding so people can bid through their smart phones. If you’d like to take a look at the auction items before the Fall Frolic, go to www.qtego.net/auc/zef.
While Fall Frolic is meant to be a fun evening, the ZEF also wants to let donors know where their money goes.
“The highlight of the evening is when ZEF grant recipients tell guests about the impact their dona-tions made through the programs ZEF funded,” Phil-lips stated.
Fall Frolic • 6:30 to 11 p.m. Nov. 2 • Indianapolis Ex-ecutive Airport,11329 E. Ind. 32. • Tickets are $100 per person and tables of 10 are encouraged. • Festive fall attire • Tickets can be purchased by calling the ZEF office at 733-4805 or by visiting www.zions-villeeducationfoundation.org.
Fall Frolic helps raise money for ZEF
Fourth-graders at Eagle Elementary School working on their year-long interdisciplinary program, “The Great Ape Project,” learn that they will be going to the Cincinnati Zoo. Teachers Jayne Shubat, Beth Brent and Kelly Masters celebrate being awarded a grant from the Zionsville Education Foundation with their students.

Few changes in town budget
gOvErNMENT
Commentary by Jeff Papa
The Town of Zionsville is in the process of adopting a budget for 2014. Citizens may view the
budget proposal at www.zionsville-in.gov. The town council has conducted two
public budget work sessions, during which each section of the budget proposal was detailed and discussed, as well as a public hearing on the pro-posal. The next step in the process is the meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 28 at Town Hall, where the council will consider adopting the budget.
The town staff and council worked to reduce spending to the point where any additional cuts would have resulted in a loss of police or fire-fighters or a reduction in basic services – some-thing we were not willing to do – and worked to find ways to diversify our tax base, including the attraction of appropriate commercial develop-ment. The 2012 budget showed approximately a $500,000 deficit on paper, but that year ended almost even due to tight fiscal discipline in the actual spending that occurred. The current year appears to be on track for a similar result; a deficit on paper, but approximately even through spending restraint. One additional reason this was possible is the high level of cooperation between the town and Zionsville Community Schools; sharing costs, joint bulk purchase or-ders, sharing equipment and general cooperation have resulted in significant savings for both.
Continuing this spending restraint while working to improve the tax base, the council directed staff to produce a 2014 budget proposal which flatlined expenditures from 2013, with the exception of an unavoidable increase of around 7 percent in insurance costs, and a 1.5 percent performance-based salary increase component for staff (who have gone without raises for two years). With revenues projected to increase around $700,000 in 2014, the budget proposal for next year is balanced and even shows a small surplus. If we continue our focus on efficiency, that may even result in a significant amount saved. These funds could be used for needed projects that have been delayed. While some projects have been delayed, it is important to note that we have accomplished balancing the budget without negatively impacting the day-to-day services provided to the community.
The town council and staff will continue to use tax dollars carefully, work to diversify the tax base in appropriate ways, and plan for needed repairs and improvements. Please let us know if you have thoughts on the budget, either by contacting us directly or by attending the budget meeting on Oct. 28.

Development appears to be on the horizon for the 2.4-acre Citgo gas station lot at the south-
west corner of Main and Sycamore streets.
“To my knowledge it is going to be a high-end mixed use development,” Bo Leffel, associate vice president for Cassidy Turley, which represents the owner, said.
“I believe they will submit plans to the town late this year.”
“They” are Buckingham Cos, which would not comment on the property and submitted this statement:
“Buckingham’s policy is to comment on poten-tial projects only after the proper approvals have been obtained. We will release the details of the development as soon as we reach that stage.”
Leffel sees the current and potential develop-ment as good for the community.
“Buckingham is the third developer in the last six months to have the properties under contract and I’m optimistic that the development will hap-pen and be a positive for the community,” Leffel said.
Wayne DeLong, director of planning and de-velopment for the town, confirmed that no plans had yet been submitted from Buckingham for this proposed development.

Balanced budget keeps belt tight
EDUCATION
COMMUNITY
Commentary by Mike Shafer
Can a rich school district be poor? If we’re talking rich in terms of great students, great
teachers, and great experi-ences for kids, the answer is no. On the other hand, if we’re
talking about our publicly funded school district located in an affluent community, the answer is definitely yes. Here’s why: In our General Fund budget for 2014, our funding is far below the state average per pupil. State funding has been decreasing for ZCS since 2008. It is now below the level it was ten years ago. Left unchanged, the state’s funding formula will continue to re-duce our funding per student through 2017-2018, even though our enrollment continues to grow.
With more students to educate and fewer dollars for every student, we have large class sizes and cannot restore programs eliminated due to budget cuts. Our core mission, educating children, is impacted by this every day.
Overall, estimated revenues for all budget funds total $67.8 million for 2014. Expenditures for 2014 will be around $67.6 million. The General and Referendum Funds together account for $41.5 million and $41.3 million, respectively, of these total revenues and expenditures. Com-bined, 67.1 percent of General and Referendum Funds will go to teacher salaries and benefits, with all Referendum Fund expenditures going for that purpose. Non-teaching salaries and benefits will take 19.4 percent. Other major categories of expenditures (special education services, custo-dial services, purchased services, supplies and materials, and utilities and property insurance) will be less than 4 percent each.
The good news in our budget is that total debt is now below $200 million and dropping. We will refi-nance our largest outstanding bond issue in 2015 to get a better interest rate, and will be able to pass that savings on to our taxpayers in the form of a
lowered tax rate. We also expect our board to be able to adopt a public declaration of “No New Debt.”
The other funds included in our budget such as capital projects, transportation and school bus replacement, will all share large revenue losses due to property tax caps in 2014, but remain stable. Our capital budget for 2014 does include funds for the second phase of our three-year high school roof replacement project.
Overall, we have a balanced budget for 2014. It is a meager budget that keeps our belt tight, maintaining the budget reductions and cost-cutting measures we have adopted over the past few years. Our frugal 2014 budget will meet our most important needs, but even this would not be possible without the help provided by our 2012 Operating Referendum.
For the present as well as the future, Zionsville needs to ask the legislature for a better deal that provides true reform of the state funding formula.
The full details of the proposed 2014 budget may be found on our Website at: http://cms.zcs.k12.in.us/?q=node/162
Glenn Ogborn’s corner drug store – Soon after marrying Mildred Artman, Glenn Ogborn purchased the drugstore in June 1921 from local pharmacist Jeff Knox. The drugstore, located at 10 S. Main St., which Le Dolce Vita now occupies, had a soda fountain and later a lunch counter that served plate lunches and homemade pies. They also sold wallpaper and paint and it was a drop-off point for Progress Laundry and Foster Film.

Commentary by Ward Degler
I found another grodie last weekend in Jef-ferson City, Mo. I was there for my high school
reunion and took some time to go grodie hunting.
Let me explain about gro-dies. They are anything that once had a purpose but is now useless and without value - but is irresistibly cool. Like that porcelain doorknob I found a few years ago and stuck on a shelf in my studio. It looks cool. Or that newel post top-per that I picked up for $ .50 at a garage sale in 1986. It’s been hanging on my living room wall ever since.
Old glass telephone pole insulators are won-derful grodies. So are rusted antique hinges from barn doors. Long forgotten kitchen cabinet doors make great wall hangings, especially if the paint is chipped and pealing. I’ve found several of these over time.
One of my favorite grodies is a round floor grate that once provided a heat source for

upstairs bedrooms in an old farmhouse. The fur-nace or stove was downstairs in those houses. For upstairs heat, you simply opened the floor vent. I haven’t found a use for it yet, but it’s out in the garage … somewhere.
I have even made grodies. One was the part of a door that originally held the latch. By cutting it out and putting a roof on it, the thing looks like an antique birdhouse.
My newest grodie is a wide-mouth amber glass jar that I got for $1.50 at the Habitat for Humanity store in my hometown. It looks really cool in the living room where we just pulled up the old carpet to expose the richly aging hard-wood floor. There might be a problem with this one, however. It could be an antique. That would make it valuable. Grodies have to be worthless.

Zombies in Lincoln Park. Trust me. I saw them with my own eyes. Michael Jackson made an ap-pearance, too, at least in spirit, as the zombies recreated the infamous “Thriller” dance right there in Lincoln Park. Similar spirits were all over town on Oct. 11 and 12 during the annual Ghost Walk hosted by the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center.
The town was abuzz as we made stops around town and heard stories about the Zionsville of old. Historic tales with a ghostly twist. My favorite was that of Autie Katie whispering, “Please bring me water,” as she reappeared near the Brown House on Elm Street after being burned in a fire. Abraham Lincoln also showed up later on the tour with his son, who died three years before the great president. They were both on the funeral train that passed through Zionsville from Wash-ington, D.C., on the way to Illinois. That thought was not exactly pleasant, but an interesting tidbit, just like the other fun tales on the tour.
Even though you may have missed the Ghost Walk this year, the historic tales will continue each week as we share a “Back in the Day” story with the help of Cynthia Young, Sullivan Munce Cultural Center director. If you haven’t already discovered this gem in town, I encourage you to stop by and check out the exhibits and also the artisan boutique. At the Sullivan Munce you can learn about the unique history of the village with a new ongoing exhibit, “A Place Called Zions-

Many people are as emotionally attached to their pets as they are to people. So when our
pets die, it’s natural to grieve them as we would humans. That’s where Jane Rose’s busi-
ness, Rose Pet Memorial Center, wants to help out. “As pet parents, and losing four of our dogs over the past four years, we were not finding the kind of place or the level of service that we wanted for our own pets when they died,” Rose said. So she and her husband, John, decided to create a place where pet parents could come to grieve. “We have a private remembrance room where a pet parent can say their last goodbye and also receive their pet in privacy. We cre-ated a sanctuary where pet parents can have a memorial service, funeral, celebration of life, however they want to memorialize their pet,” Rose stated.
Open since July, the couple said they haven’t done a full funeral service yet, but have helped several people say goodbye to their “fur kids.” “We did have a client whose dog passed away while he was out of town, and he wanted the opportunity to say goodbye to her and had a pri-vate viewing with her. He was so appreciative of being able to see her one last time,” Rose stated.
Once your pet has passed away, someone from the center will pick up your pet and bring it back to the center. There, a lock of hair is taken

from the pet and a paw print is made as a keep-sake for the family. Then, the family can go to the center to say their goodbyes. After that, the pet is cremated and ashes are given back to the family within 48 hours. They also have different types of mementos to memorialize your pet.

Meet Ray Cortopassi• He and his wife, Leslie, have four children: Ryan,
15, Drew, 13, Tess, 11 and Christopher, 8.• Has lived in Zionsville for 14 years.• Grew up in Dolton, Ill.• Anchor/Reporter for WXIN’s FOX 59 Morning News
and FOX 59 News at 4 p.m. • Co-founder of Off Main Street players, a commu-
nity theater group in Zionsville.•His most embarrassing moment on TV: “There’ve
been too many to count. Losing focus during a live shot early in my career, putting on Honey Boo Boo’s dress last Halloween – and just Google my name and spider and see what comes up.”
Taking risksBy Abby Walton • [email protected]
In 1991, a young Ray Cortopassi stepped onto an Illinois stage in his first role in a community theater production.
“The play was Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” and I played Giles Ralston, the innkeeper who owned the local bed and
breakfast,” he said. Today, most people know Cortopassi as one of the news anchors for Fox 59 Morning News. It might not be that surprising that as a young person, he enjoyed performing, but what most people don’t know is that although Cortopassi is an outgoing person, he had serious doubts about whether he could get up on stage and perform. “I would always second guess myself. I thought it would be fun to be on stage, but I didn’t know if I could do it and often worried that I would fail,” he said.
At Columbia College in Chicago, Cortopassi finally gathered the courage to try out for the play, “Arsenic and Old Lace.”
“When it was my time to audition, they called me up and asked me what my name was and I said ‘Mortimer’ which was the name of the character I was auditioning for,” Cortopassi said. “I didn’t get the part.”
Even though he thought he’d never do it again, Cortopassi tried the acting thing one more time after his wife, Leslie, gave him acting lessons as a gift. After that, Cortopassi decided to try com-munity theater again, and that’s when his role in “The Mousetrap” came along. After that came a few roles here and there until he got a job as a print reporter in Chicago.
“My degree was in journalism, so I’d finally gotten a job, was working unusual hours and so I stepped away from the stage to focus on my career,” he said.
As a print and then TV reporter, Cortopassi’s career took off, moving him around the nation and bringing him to Indianapolis in 1999. After a nine-year stint at WRTV, Cortopassi left the station and worked as a freelance reporter for WTHR for one year.
“During that time, I was hired as the executive director for the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce,” he said. In 2009, Cortopassi joined FOX 59 permanently as one of the morning anchors.
“I came here and kept my chamber position for another two years, tackling both positions. It was a big gamble, but with a supportive board of directors and an understanding news direc-tor, I managed both positions until I was promoted to 4 p.m. an-chor (in addition to the morning news). That’s when I retired from the Zionsville Chamber in 2011,” he said.
For Cortopassi, taking risks has led to some amazing adven-tures, including becoming a husband and father.
“I’m blessed with a wonderful wife who has always had great instincts in life, especially as a mother. Kids are going to be their own people no matter how much influence you try to have over them. But helping them grow up to be people who make good choices and treat others with kindness is my main goal,” he said. While people around Zionsville and Central Indiana may know Cortopassi as the TV news anchor, actor or volunteer, at home, he’s a husband and a dad, which if you ask him, are the roles of a lifetime.

It is our position that substance abuse and addiction cause a major burden to society. Red Ribbon Week is traditionally observed the last week in October as an opportunity to talk to our children and the children in our lives about the dangers of drug abuse.
Most elementary-aged children will wear their red ribbon with pride as they tote their backpacks home for the evening. Unfortu-nately, the schools can’t control what happens after the child leaves school property. Far too many children are exposed to drug and sub-stance abuse at home. What happens along the way that changes the wide-eyed inno-cent child who knows drugs are bad into an abuser? Boredom, heredity and environment likely play a role. We’ve turned into a society that breathalyses students before events and urine tests them when they get home, all in the name of safety because the technology is available.
Can law enforcement keep up with regulat-ing the list of household ingredients used to manufacture new drugs? Should non-users have to suffer the consequences? Legalizing the “not so bad” drugs hardly seems like the correct answer. While it may seem trite and simplistic, in the words of former first lady Nancy Reagan, “Just say, NO.”

Each year the community foundation of Ham-ilton County, The Legacy Fund, brings together a room full of the most generous philanthropists, volunteers and just plain good folks with the leadership of 50 or so area nonprofits. The stat-ed objective for the Celebration of Philanthropy is to award the Living Legacy Award, which ac-knowledges an individual or family who, through their lifetime, has made a particularly important contribution to our community as a philanthro-pist. The foundation has done a nice job in both recognizing the best among us and inspiring others to consider their own giving. This year’s recipients (look for an announcement of the family in the coming weeks) are no exception to those who have come before.
Perhaps even more importantly, the event (Nov. 14 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel) encourages non-profit organizations to interact directly with the scores of donors active in our county. Equally com-pelling is the opportunity for existing and potential

In a wonderful display of transparency, Chief Financial Officer Mike Shafer of Zionsville Community Schools has made clear that the district could find itself in a financial crisis if the state legislature doesn’t reverse recent pullbacks of school funding. Shafer says the funding decline is steady, but he foresees a balanced ZCS budget. How? Belt tightening – exactly the way it should be done everywhere. He and Supt. Dr. Scott Robison continue to look for ways to trim costs, while delivering quality educational and extracurricular opportunities in our schools. According to a ZCS report, Sha-fer stated that the still-growing school district is seeing its debt being reduced. Approximately $62 million in principal has been paid off since 2005 with no new debt since that year. That’s pinpoint financial management, in our opinion. Further, he indicated that making a “no new construction debt pledge” is a suitable, mean-ingful and doable goal for the Board of School Trustees; he and Robison will propose exactly that at the budget consideration meeting at 6 p.m. Oct. 28.
ZCS states that estimated revenues across all funds are projected at $ 67.8 million for 2014. Proposed expenditures for 2014 were shown as just less than $ 67.6 million. That’s a marvelous achievement. Combined, the Gen-eral Fund and Referendum Fund expenditures will be comprised of 67.1 percent teacher sala-ries and benefits, 19.4 percent non-teaching salaries and benefits, and less than 4 percent each for all other categories of expenditures. The exercise of budgeting for our schools is only going to become more difficult. The Legislature needs to begin to restore funding without raising taxes. It needs to find a way. Now. Shafer says for 2015, the situation will become even more difficult. There could be displacement of up to 75 full-time teachers. (By the way, if teachers are not going to be taking advantage of Obamacare, that represents a lost opportunity for health-care savings.)

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Some of the e-mails I get in response to my column are hilarious. Apparently, a good por-
tion of the northern Indianapolis suburbs are full of perfect wives and mothers who feel it is their
right, nay their Jesus-driven duty, to point out my flaws and offer me advice on how to have the perfect family. Here are some of their suggestions:
1. Never ever lose your temper. Good moth-ers don’t freak out when their daughters spill nail polish remover on antique maple tables. Shame on you for throwing a cas-serole dish.
2. Never try and spice up your marriage by watching an R-rated movie with Scarlett Johansson or Brad Pitt. Violence and sex should be banned from theaters. Clearly you’re headed for divorce if you can’t find inspiration at church. Sinner!
3. Never become frustrated with your spouse! The perfect wife will have her hair coiffed and make-up on, ready to serve a home-cooked gourmet meal to her hus-band when he returns from his hard day at work. He does not want to hear about your hectic afternoon nor does he have the time to clean up after himself. Stop pestering and start doting.
4. Never say anything bad about your chil-
Perfect woman I am not
HUMOr
dren! Babies are a gift from God and those belonging to a good mom would never lie, cheat, or choose X-box over homework. Heaven-bound kids are always bathed, behaved and beautiful.
5. Never consider plastic surgery. Stretch marks and saggy boobs are Jesus’ gift to you for bearing precious little angels. Stop being so selfish and join the PTO. Oh, you work full-time? The horror! Your kids are going to all end up in prison.
I think what these women really want me to do is stop being honest, because the truth is, life is not always awesome. Kids sometimes stink, and so do husbands, and, occasionally, I would like to sport a C-cup bra. Why can’t we embrace the difficulties of parenthood and marriage, find some humor in them, and congratulate each other on trying our best? Why must it always be about who’s the better mom/wife and who’s got the most perfect life? Gag. I’m just trying to make sure my kids wear deodorant and have lunch money on most days.
If being the perfect mom and wife means never expressing how I truly feel, then I’ll take being mediocre any day. Peace out.

He has the costume (Dracula, his old reliable for the last three years); he has the candy bag (one of those big department store shopping bags from last Christmas); he has the route planned (once through our neighborhood and then on to the bigger houses where, it is rumored, the people are so rich they hand out full-size Milky Ways).
He also has a slight headache, a bit of a chill and a cough. Or, as it is called by the doctor the next morning when it has exploded into a full-on 104-degree fever and a diminished ability to breathe, pneumonia.

I perfected my Bela Lugosi impersonation (“I vant a treat or I’ll trick”), not only had I found the per-fect candy bag, but I was butting up against a family rule that said no trick or treating after age 13. I had just turned 13. This was to be my last Halloween Hurrah. Denied.
I tried to argue that I felt fine and that I probably had walking pneumonia, which meant I could still be a trick or treat vampire if I wore enough sweat-ers. Mom, always the unreasonable one on matters like this, refused to even entertain the notion. So the last Halloween on which I could trick or treat, I stayed at home reading comic books and coughing up a lung while everyone I knew went out to extort candy from the neighbors. It was unfair. I was owed a trick or treat night. I still am.
As far as I’m concerned, that last night of trick or treating has been suspended under glass all these years, just waiting for me to take out a hammer, break the pane and claim what I was denied. Every year since then it has crossed my mind that I should just get out and do it, although as I have grown older I have added the idea that it should be in a city where nobody knows me.

What better place to have a celebration of All Hallow’s Eve, (aka Halloween) through elaborate
costumes, good food, enter-tainment and great prizes, then at The Sanctuary, a
Victorian church built in the 1800‘s located on Main Street in downtown Zionsville and home to Nancy Noel’s studio.
“As an artist and person I love the psyche of why people do what they do. I want The Sanctuary to be a place where good things happen and elevated thinking happens. I do have a lot of skeletons in my paintings, but it’s the yin and the yang, not good and bad,” she described. “People have fears. The Sanctuary is all about positive thinking, fun and spiritual freedom.”
At the inaugural “Masquerade on Main” last year about 175 people attended and they are expecting more to dress up and attend this year according Kathy Pierle, spokesperson for The Sanctuary.
The United Methodist Children’s Home in Leb-anon is this year’s recipient of 50% of proceeds. The organization first served as a home for or-phans and is currently operating as a treatment facility dedicated to helping emotionally troubled youth struggling with a variety of challenges and proceeds raised will assist with their needs in the upcoming holiday season.
“We really think that they make a significant impact to the community and we are thrilled to be connected with them,” Pierle said. Noel added “They’ve been in business 100 years and they are a wonderful family style refuge for kids that struggle.”
This year’s“Masquerade on Main” will be held Oct. 26 from 7 to 11 pm at The Sanctuary, 75 North Main Street, Zionsville.
A seasonal menu of appetizing items from Noel’s Colours Restaurant will be served and in-cluded in the price of admissions. Due to Noel’s love of costumes, there will be a “Best Costume” contest judged by local celebrity judges, on-air personalities and Noel herself.

BOOTLEG BRAMBLE
Those who miss the magical feeling of having special photograph commemorate a moment you want to remember forever will enjoy stepping into the Indiana Historical Society’s You Are There 1904: Picture This. The exhibit opens to the public Oct. 29 and will be available until Feb. 2 at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, 450 W. Ohio St., Indianapolis.
You Are There experiences are three-dimen-sionally recreated historic photographs that include trained costumed actors who interact with visitors and elicit personal connections to the past, allowing visitors to step back in time and become part of that history. The authenticity
of the recreations hinge on not just the devel-opment of the physical space, but also on the real-life characters who could really have been present in that particular place at the time the photograph was taken.
This exciting new You Are There experience explores the changes in photographic technology since the days of Miner’s Studio through today. Look at the evolution of photography with a time-line of cameras from Miner’s era through today. Explore a collection of studio images from the IHS collection, all of which survive and help us un-derstand stories of the past. For information, call 232-1882 or visit www.indianahistory.org.

The Indianapolis Brass Choir will be hosting a free concert at St. Mark’s United Methodist
Church in Carmel at 4 p.m. Oct. 27. During the performance the en-
semble will be playing a variety of music ranging from Renaissance to Broadway, from jazz to folk songs.
Since being founded in 1986, the choir’s musi-cians voluntarily perform concerts to benefit local churches and charities. Performers in the brass choir meet weekly for rehearsals and per-form in 10 to 12 concerts annually without pay.
During the 30-member choir’s performance there will be a free-will offering to raise money for Africa University, a private higher education institution in Mutare, Zimbabwe.
Funds collected at the performance will sup-

port several endowed student scholarships as well as establish an endowed faculty position in agriculture and natural resources.
“Our congregation has a connection with Af-rica University,” said Nancy Canning, marketing communications coordinator at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church.
Earlier this year the Africa University student choir attended and performed at the church in Carmel.
The university, founded by the African bishops of the United Methodist Church, has a mission to provide education to not only Zimbabwe, but also the African continent as a whole. Educa-tion at the university focuses to develop general and professional skills, as well as build spiritual, moral and ethical character in the students.

Running frantically through the dark woods trying to escape a masked park ranger with a
chain saw doesn’t normally conjure up a sense of fun unless it’s during the Haunt-
ed Trails of Cool Creek Park annual Halloween event.
This year’s Haunted Trails will feature guided group tours through several different ghoul- and ghost-themed fright stations along the park’s trails and paths for thrill seekers older than 12. Over the years, Haunted Trails has evolved into a community fundraiser, and the fright stations are staffed by civic organizations and school groups who actually write their own scripts and cho-reograph each fright station in accordance with guidelines set by event organizers.
This year’s Haunted Trails event also will in-clude pyro-entertainment on a stage at the Cool Creek Music Pavilion, along with musical and video entertainment, hay rides, a camp fire and storytelling.
Food and refreshments will be available for purchase at the Friends of Hamilton County Parks booth with proceeds benefiting the foun-dation and its efforts to maintain and support the parks.
A non-scary area, the Trick-or-Treat trail fea-tures activities, nature programming and smaller, less-scary and non-spooky trails for those
younger than 12 years old. Treats also will be available for the little ones in the Trick-or-Treat Trail area.
“If we do our job, we’ll get some screams and fun shouts,” said Don Nicholls, Resource Develop-ment Specialist with Hamilton County Parks & Recreation. “We’re not really trying to compete with scare factories – Haunted Trails is more of a scaled down community event.”

Ghost stories are as common during Hallow-een as trick-or-treating and bobbing for apples.
Local residents may be sur-prised to learn that Fishers has haunted roots too.
Haunted Prairie: A Hidden History of Conner Prairie, explains the history of local legends. Visi-tors will hear supernatural stories and personal accounts of unexplained phenomenon on the property of Conner Prairie Interactive History Park through a nighttime guided tour including 1836 Prairietown, 1963 Civil War Journey, Conner Homestead and the Chinese House. Guests will hear the story behind Heady Hollow, an area on Allisonville Road near 126th Street. The region has a cemetery and is named after early 19th century settlers, James and Dorothy Heady, according to Rosie Arnold, education programs manager for Conner Prairie. Arnold has heard several myths, including stories of a grave robber named Ebene-zer Heady and a fire that burned down a school-house, killing several children.
“What seems to be the most common, though, is people reporting hearing strange noises, including hoof beats as though they are being chased by someone on horseback, and seeing apparitions,” she said.
A famous tale includes that of a Noblesville at-torney who drove his Model T through the Heady Hollow and stopped in the road because he said he saw a ghost standing there.
“Legends say that the ghosts may be the spirits of highwaymen who would rob travelers on the road and hide out in the woods around the hollow or of the highwaymen’s victims them-selves,” Arnold said.
A confirmed story involves Hamp West, a grave robber who lived in the area that is now the Sunblest subdivision at 116th Street near Lantern Road. When West dug up graves, he took the cadavers and sold them to the medical
school in Indianapolis. “If the bodies had reached a state of decay
so that they were no longer usable, he is said to have boiled the bodies to remove the flesh so that he could then sell the skeleton,” Arnold said.
In 1903, West was sentenced to prison and died one year later from stomach cancer.
Visitors will hear supernatural stories and per-sonal accounts of unexplained phenomenon on the property of Conner Prairie Interactive History Park through a nighttime guided tour including 1836 Prairietown, 1963 Civil War Journey, Conner Homestead and the Chinese House.

Dr. Todd Walters invites you to an open house to introduce his newly opened dental of�ce, “Smile Generators” to Carmel, West�eld, Noblesville, Fishers and the Indianapolis area. “Smile Generators” is in a newly constructed
building and features state of the art building materials and dental equipment designed to accommodate all patients. It has a pleasing décor, a friendly staff, and a children’s play area, specially designed to occupy their
minds while waiting.
To make this open house a unique and memorable occasion for the entire family, Dr. Walters is pleased to have present two well-known personalities.
One of these is former Harlem Globetrotter, Hallie Bryant, an internationally known edutainer and public speaker as well as the author
of “Breaking the Code”
The other is Dr. Greg Bell, the 1956 Olympic champion in the long jump and a dentist who is still practicing after 52 years. In addition to his gold
medal, he is a member of the United States Track and Field Hall of Fame. He has also authored a book of poetry and his autobiography,
“The Longest Leap”.
They will be present from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm
Both of these gentlemen are graduates of Indiana University and are members of the I.U. Athletic Hall of Fame.
As a special treat, these gentlemen will have with them their “tools of their trade”: an Olympic Gold Medal and a red, white and blue basketball,
emblematic of the world-famous “Harlem Globetrotters”.

YOU’RE INVITED!HAllOWEEN
Halloween Fruit Apple Teeth Treats• 4 honeycrisp apples, cored and quartered • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, optional • 1 2.25-ounce package blanched slivered
almonds With a small, sharp paring knife, cut a lengthwise wedge from the skin side of each apple quarter, leaving the peel around the wedge for lips. If de-sired, rub the cut portions of the apple quarters with lemon juice to prevent browning. Poke 5 or 6 slivered almonds into the top and bottom of the cut-out area to make snaggly teeth.
Brain Hemorrhage• 1 fluid ounce chilled peach Schnapps • 1 teaspoon chilled Irish cream liqueur • 1 splash chilled grenadine syrup
Pour Schnapps into a shot glass. Very gently pour Irish cream liqueur over Schnapps. Wait until the Irish cream liqueur begins to clump and “curdle” to look like a brain - just a few mo-ments. Gently pour a tiny amount of grenadine “blood” over the brain. Watch your guests gag over the look of one of the nastiest-looking (but yummy) Halloween drinks around.
Butterbeer (nonalcoholic)• 2 Tablespoons butterscotch topping • 1 cup soda water • 1 cup cream soda • 2 Tablespoons whipped cream • 2 Tablespoons caramel sauce • 1 pinch salt
Chill a glass mug in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. Combine the butterscotch topping and soda water in the chilled mug; stir until thor-oughly mixed. Pour the cream soda into the mug. Stir the whipped cream, caramel sauce and salt together in a small bowl; spoon atop the soda mixture. Stir lightly - it will froth.
Halloween Bloody Baked Rats• 2 pounds ground beef • 1/2 onion, chopped • 1 egg, beaten • 1 cup dry bread crumbs • 1 1.25-ounce packet meatloaf seasoning mix • 1 cup cubed Cheddar cheese • 3 10-ounce cans tomato sauce • 1 cup white sugar • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 1 ounce uncooked spaghetti, broken into
fourths • 1/2 carrot, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices • 1 Tablespoon frozen green peas
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, egg, bread crumbs and meatloaf seasoning. Use your hands to mix until well blended. Measure out 1/3 cupfuls of meat mixture and mold around a cube of cheese like a meatball. Shape into a point at one end and length-en the body a bit by rolling between your hands. Place your “rat”’ in a shallow baking dish and continue with the remaining meat. Insert pieces of uncooked spaghetti into the rounded end of the rats to make tails. In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over rats in the dish and cover with a lid or
aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover the dish and continue to bake for another 20 to 30 min-utes, basting occasionally with the sauce to glaze the rats. While the rats finish baking, heat peas and carrots in a small bowl in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Carefully transfer the rats to a serving platter so that their delicate tails don’t fall off. Press peas into the pointy end to make eyes, and insert carrot slices to make ears. Spoon some of the tomato sauce around them and serve.
Caramelized Spicy Pumpkin Seeds• 3 Tablespoons white sugar • 1/4 teaspoon cumin • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger • 1 pinch cayenne pepper • 2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds, washed

Pumpkins and Hayrides ‘thank you’
HAllOWEEN
Besides taking a hayride around Lions Park, kids can also paint a pumpkin to take home with them.
By Abby Walton [email protected]
Back in 2005, the Zionsville Lions Club wanted to create an event that would help
say thank you to the community for support-ing its projects through-
out the year. “Lions Park does not receive any tax dollars to help with its regular main-tenance as well as upgrades like new play-ground equipment and park benches,” stated Lions Club member, Michelle Sheperd. So the group holds many fundraisers throughout the year that goes toward keeping the more than 20 acre park in tip top shape. As a way to tell the community how much it values them, the Lions Club came up with an event it called Pumpkins and Hayrides.
This year’s event will take place on Oct. 27 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Lions Park. The Lions Club will offer free hayrides through the park and pumpkins for painting. “Children can wear costumes and participate in a costume contest at 4 p.m., judged by local pageant winners,” Shepard said. There will also be free food and refreshments including roasting s’mores. The event is free to at-tend, however the club is encouraging those attending to bring donations of clothing or household items to give to the Salvation Army.

Commentary by Bassett
Do you ever get that feeling that life is pretty good but something is missing? You have a great
career, family and friends but you have a nagging feeling that there is some-
thing more you should be doing. It has been an honor and blessing to have met women and men around the world who had that same little voice within and followed their callings.
I first met Natalie, a 27-year old Canadian, in Uganda when she was building a birthing center and teaching a group of Ugandan women to make jewelry for a living.
She says, “The most empowering thing we can do is to listen to that voice inside, surrender to our path and collectively make the world a brighter place.”
In Cambodia I will never forget meeting Scott Neeson, former CEO of 20th Century Fox, for the first time. He asked if I had ever seen extreme poverty. I thought I had. An hour later I was in the world’s largest toxic dump - 16 acres where people lived and worked for pennies a day. Scott obviously felt a major shift inside when he vis-
ited the dump while on vacation several years earlier. He returned to his job but after one year he quit, gave up his houses, boats and other toys and moved to Phnom Penh. The little voice in his head was saying he should start an orphan-age for about 45 kids. Scott now has more than 1,800 children in his many housing and school complexes.
Searching for true abundance took one Ameri-can woman, Prabha, to India where she lived in a cave on the banks of the Ganges River for many years. Through her quest, she ended up creat-ing a wonderful children’s home and school that serves more than 160 children each year. It is my privilege to journey there every couple years and see her in action.
My wish for you is to keep listening to your own calling. It is not always easy, but always worth it! Until next time…
Namaste!
That feeling to make a difference

Don’t let teen drivers scare youCommentary by Jamie Ianigro
Question from Brittany F. from Fishers: Our daughter turned 16 over the summer, and
the day she gets her license is approaching. How do I add her to my policy and what
can I do to make sure we don’t have to cancel our cable to afford it?
Response from Jamie Ianigro:Adding a teen to your insurance policy is not
the thing to do if you’re hoping to keep your insurance costs down. You can do a couple of things to make sure you get the best price.
First, make sure your teen keeps her grades up. A good majority of carriers offer discounts for teens that maintain a “B” average or higher.
Next, make sure your teen completes a driver education class.
Lastly, make sure you pay attention to our claim prevention ideas and follow all of the cur-rent laws and regulations.
Adding a new driver to your policy is as easy as giving your independent agent a phone call or an email. We will need the new driver’s license num-ber, name and the vehicle that they will be driving. If you’re adding a new vehicle, we will also need the VIN (vehicle identification number) for the new auto.
The type of vehicle your teen drives is a major factor in the cost of coverage. It’s a pretty simple concept. The car you want them to drive (a four-door sedan) is going to cost a lot less to insure when compared to the car they want to drive (a coupe, convertible or sports car).
Modifying your coverage limits is a subject you should run by your independent agent. What I
would recommend depends greatly on your own circumstances and risk tolerance. I will say that the state minimum limits are inadequate and should only be used if financially necessary. The leading cause of death for U.S. teens is motor vehicle crashes. Teens are at risk because they are more likely to drive aggressively, to not wear seatbelts and to underestimate the dangers as-sociated with hazardous driving situations. When we talk about claim prevention, we’re talking about minimizing the risk of those three things.
The most straight forward approach to pre-vention is to just put it all down on paper and create a Teen-Parent Driving Contract. The con-tract will spell out your expectations on anything you feel like addressing along with the punish-ment for breaking the contract. We recommend addressing some or all of these issues in your Teen-Parent Driving Contract:• Seatbelts: Make sure every person in the
vehicle is wearing a seatbelt.• Cell Phones: Never use a cell phone while
driving.• Passengers: Limit the number of passen-
gers in the vehicle.• Current Laws: Make sure you are familiar
with our current Graduated Drivers License laws
Note: Current laws and regulations can be viewed at www.iihs.org.

With 1,921 home sales in September in central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 17.8 percent compared to this time period last
year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.
On a monthly basis, September 2013 home sales declined 1.6 percent compared to Septem-ber 2012, a decrease of 31 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Four of the nine counties reported increased sales compared to September 2012.
September home sales decreased slightly in Boone County, but sales are still trending up-ward for the first nine months of 2013, compared to the same time period last year.
• In Boone County, overall year-to-date home sales climbed to 899 – an increase of 117 homes compared to the same time period in 2012.
• September 2013 home sales in Boone Coun-ty dipped 4.1 percent to 71 homes – down three homes from September 2012.
• Specifically in Zionsville, 33 homes sold in September 2013, an increase of 3.1 percent compared to September 2012.
• Available homes are spending less time on the market in Zionsville. For the first nine months of this year, homes spent an aver-age of 81 days for sale. During the same time last year, homes spent 111 days on the market.
• Sales prices adjusted down slightly in Zionsville. Last month, the average sales price decreased to $346,420 – down 4.3 percent from September 2012.
• Of the home sales in Zionsville last month, four were priced $500,000 to $1 million; 11 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; nine were priced $200,000 to 299,999; and nine were priced $100,000 to $199,999.
As we close the third quarter of 2013, we remain optimistic that the central Indiana real estate market will continue to improve. Across the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks, home sales and home prices are up while the number of available homes for sale are down, which will help the market further stabilize.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer
I had the distinct honor and privilege of taking part in the wedding ceremony of a dear friend
(and former Current editor) last weekend. An opportunity for a column
sprang forth from the event.As part of his reading, the officiant examined
the word “cleave,” which can mean both “to separate from” and “to adhere firmly to.” “Cleave” is a contronym: a word with multiple meanings, at least one of which is the reverse of its other meanings.
Contronyms are also called auto-antonyms or, my personal favorite, antagonyms. They occur when distinct words morph through time to have the same form, or when words evolve to have multiple, contradictory meanings.
You can get a lot of fun wordplay out of contronyms, especially in poetry – or, as much fun as people who aren’t weird poetry nerds like me can have. They’re a good talking piece too, though. In the interest of augmenting your linguistic party banter repertoire, here are some other contronyms to keep in the quiver:
“Fast” can mean both “moving quickly” and “not moving,” i.e. “The truck is stuck fast in the mud.”
“Off” can mean both “deactivated” and “acti-vated:” “I turned off the alarm after it went off.”
Fun with contronyms“Oversight” can mean both “supervision” and
“something overlooked:” “We need more over-sight of employees to prevent further costly oversights.”
“Splice,” much like “cleave,” can mean both “to join” and “to separate.”
“Consult” can mean both asking for advice and giving advice.
“Garnish” can mean both “to add to” or “embel-lish” and “to take away,” i.e. “My wages were garnished after I failed to pay court fees.”
Many of these words became contronyms through natural processes as our language formed, and so their contradictory meanings do not seem strange to us. Consider a more con-temporary example: the word “literally.”
“Literally” means “in actuality.” However, through its constant misuse, Merriam-Webster now says the word can be defined as “figura-tively,” an antonym. Though I find this situation particularly groan-inducing, there you have it: the evolution of language in action. It’s both beautiful and terrible – like a lion hunting a gazelle. Or, you know, something less dramatic.

A temple without its soul
Sahasra Baahu (Submtited photo)
TrAvEl
Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit currentzi-onsville.com. You may contact him at [email protected]
Commentary by Donald Knebel
Near the city of Udaipur in northwest India is a Hindu temple complex called Sahasra Baahu, built
more than 1,000 years ago. The intri-cate stone carvings both inside and out reflect countless hours of te-
dious effort. However, the complex and the extraor-dinary human effort it represents now lie aban-doned, not because no worshippers are nearby but because the temple has literally lost its soul.
For most Hindus, the ultimate reality of the universe is “Brahman,” a transcendent and unknowable power behind and beyond all exis-tence. Somewhat like Christians with a guardian angel, many Hindus consider themselves mono-theists despite praying to specific manifestations of the ultimate reality for help and guidance.
To worship their chosen manifestations of Brahman, Hindus have long built temples having the essential characteristics of temples every-where. At the center is the Holy of Holies, where the statutory image resides. Above the Holy of Holies, a pyramid-shaped tower points toward the heavens. On the walls are carvings having religious significance.
Surprising to many Christians, for whom God and sexual pleasure don’t usually mix, the walls of Hindu temples often contain explicit sex scenes, not always procreative. Hindus find the divine in all human activity and nothing is shameful about the desire for pleasure. The
wildly colorful exteriors of many Hindu temples demonstrate this same idea.
When Sahasra Baahu was completed in the 10th or 11th century, a stone image of the god Vishnu was placed in the Holy of Holies. A priest then called the power of Brahman into the statue. Once so consecrated, the temple became alive and worshippers could experience the di-vine within it.
Today, no image resides in Sahasra Baahu’s Holy of Holies. Probably hundreds of years ago, the statue was damaged - likely by persons opposing Hindu beliefs. As a result, the temple died, never to live again. With the spirit of the eternal Brahman missing, the magnificent stone carvings have no more spiritual significance than a pile of rocks.

Please avoid being the person with the fash-ion citation in your hand this fall. The fashion
police are far from friendly, and sometimes they can be quite em-barrassing. To avoid the fiasco of
robbing yourself of good fashion sense, here’s a basic cheat sheet that should serve and protect.
1. Do: Invest in hats. One of the most popular accessories this fall is for your head. Consider trying hats of all shapes, sizes and colors.
2. Don’t: Stash your whites. Just because it’s past Labor Day, it doesn’t mean you have to hide all of your white clothes. Pair your pants with fall/winter tops for a bright-eyed look.
3. Do: Layer. Instead of thick tops such as sweaters or hoodies, wear multiple thinner ones. Go for a long-sleeve over a t-shirt, or let a tank peek from under the bottom of a blouse.
4. Don’t: Get rid of your patterns and prints. Be sure to tone them down. Pair your shirt, scarf or skirt with a subdued color for the perfect outfit.
5. Do: Wear green. Consider emerald and olive.6. Do: Keep the patterns. Simple is out, bold
and eye-catching is in. Try texture, patterns, fur and prints.
7. Don’t: Put away your leopard print. If you want to mix it up, try a colored leopard print.
8. Don’t: Ditch the peplum. It may seem out of season, but if you layer your peplum you can wear the summer favorite well into fall.

9. Do: Store the flip-flops. Summer will be back, so don’t pretend like it is still here. Cover your feet with a fabulous pair of boots.
10. Don’t: Be afraid of “Do it Yourself”. DIY cloth-ing is nearly the new black. DIY’s can be found on many Websites and are based on the latest trends. If you’re not the creative type, don’t worry; there are DIY’s for nearly any skill level.
Keep these 10 Fall Fashion Do’s and Don’ts in mind as you shop and pick out this season’s best looks. It’s just my personal recommenda-tion. I am your Glam Chic Gal signing off until next time.

INSIDE & OUT
A guide to choosing hardwood floorsCommentary by David Decker
Because of its versatile style, natural feeling and durable structure, hardwood has remained
one of the most enduringly trendy flooring options for gen-erations. Unlike other flooring
trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained popular for more than 200 years. Choosing hardwood flooring is clearly a safe in-vestment for homeowners. However, hardwood flooring isn’t the perfect solution for every space. There are a number of facts and considerations that you should know before installing hardwood flooring.
Before installing hardwood, you’ll want to survey and inspect the room. Certain types of hardwood are susceptible to moisture, which can cause the wood to splinter or bend. Hard-wood flooring also tends to be a bit noisy. If you choose to install hardwood in a central room, you may want to invest in rugs or pieces of furniture that absorb sound to keep movement muffled. Additionally, excessive amounts of foot traffic can cause wear and tear to the planks. Scuffed and scratched floors can be refinished, but this process can get costly, especially if you choose a softer wood that needs frequent repair.
After you’ve decided whether the room is a good fit for hardwood flooring, you’ll have to decide the type and style of plank you’d like to install. Hardwood can be divided into two main
categories: solid and engineered. Solid hardwood is made from pure, solid wood planks. Engi-neered hardwood is made from pressed plywood that uses a thin wood veneer as the top layer. Because it is made from bonded layers of wood, it is more durable than solid hardwood, and less likely to be affected by temperature or humidity. Engineered planks can be created in a greater array of sizes and widths (and wider planks have the added benefit of being able to trick the eye into making a room look larger).
To keep your hardwood protected and shiny,
clean regularly with water-based solutions. You’ll also want to sweep and vacuum your floor weekly to eliminate dust and particles. Re-member that hardwood is susceptible to water damage, so never use a wet wop or let spills soak into the boards. Consult the manufacturer’s guide for specific cleaning techniques if you are unsure of how to care for your specific flooring; otherwise, you may cause unintentional damage to the floorboards.
The popularity of hardwood flooring means that there are a countless number of styles and designs on the market today. Investigate the wide variety of lumber types, colors, finishes and plank sizes before making a selection. If you are planning on going green, there are even environ-mentally friendly options available that are made from sustainable wood sources. The possibilities are endless.
Choosing the right hardwood for your home is a big decision. With careful consideration and proper maintenance, the flooring you select can last for years to come. Weigh your options care-fully until you find the perfect flooring to fit your home.
