University’s J-Term makes learning fun By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com While most students were ebullient after getting an extended winter break due to inclement weather, students at University education High School were actually texting administrators and begging the school to open so they would not miss the start of January Term. J-Term is a three-week period between fall and spring semesters when students take a single class during the school day, though the class offerings are not exactly typical math, science or English courses. Students choose from 16 different in-depth, highly focused, hands-on courses with subject matter including animal behavior, cooking, mountain climbing, upcycling, sports medicine, regional theater, southern Spain, the world of Harry Potter and survivalist training. Students also had an alternate choice of doing an internship. Senior Elizabeth Orians chose a course, titled “Literature of the American Landscape,” that involved reading “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac and studying works by John Steinbeck and other authors who specialize in writing about Americana. The class embarked on an eight-day cross-country adventure taking three Amtrak trains through 15 states and covering 5,800 miles. “We had class in the observation car of the train where we learned about historical events surrounding the landscape we traveled through, and we learned how to knit, which was really cool,” Orians said. Junior Robin MacKellar learned the mental and physical toughness of surviving outdoors during a Polar Vortex. “I chose the survivalists course because I am the typical suburban girl. I have never been camping, couldn’t really start a fire and was not prepared for any kind of emergency,” she said. “I wanted to prove to myself, my friends and my family that I could do something like this and learn how to survive.” MacKellar and her classmates learned how to make fires and a shelter, became CPR-certified, change a tire and jump-start a car. “The goals of January Term are to give students an intensive education studying just one subject and to give them a unique experience they can take with them to college and beyond,” said Director of Com-

DISPATCHES Carmel PorchFest opens registration for porches, musicians and volunteers – Organizers of this musical extravaganza announced today that online registration for porches, musicians and volunteers is now open at www.carmelporchfest.com. Carmel PorchFest is a new event that will be conducted Sept. 14 and will bring live music from local musicians to porches located in the Arts and Design District. Carmel PorchFest will be a family-friendly event that is free and open to the public.

munications Ashley Crockett-Lohr. “For some students, J-Term exposes them to new career options they can explore in college. For others, J-Term allows them to travel and see part of the world they have never seen before. For others still, J-Term is simply a time for them to feel excited about school again. J-Term is hands-down the most popular term of the school year for students.” In February of each year, teachers - often with students’ help - develop dozens of proposals for possible J-Term classes. Students vote on which classes they’d like to see offered, and that vote generally determines the year’s course list. Crockett-Lohr said the University High School staff looks forward to J-Term as much as the students do. The J-Term program is unique to University High School, though MacKellar believes all high school students could benefit from such a program. “I truly believe that all high school kids would benefit from a J-Term, because it can offer them experiences and opportunities they can’t have in an average semester-long class,” she said. “It also just makes learning so much fun, which is hard to find these days. I love January term and hope everyone can have an opportunity like it.”

Mike Redmond is one of those goofs who actually likes winter.

But this winter isn’t romantic; it’s a giant pain in the butt, and we’re just a third of the way through it. Read more at www.currentincarmel.com

Current columnist Andy Ray says he lost a personal hero last week. Folk-singer/activist Pete Seeger died at age 94 following a brief illness. He says Seeger defined what it meant to be an American. He and his folk-music group, the Weavers, scored the biggest hit of 1950 with “Goodnight Irene.” Seeger went on to write many popular songs, including Jimmie Rodgers’ “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine,” “If I Had A Hammer,” popularized by Peter Paul & Mary and by Trini Lopez, and (perhaps most notably) the Byrds’ “Turn Turn Turn,” a musical setting for the popular third chapter of Ecclesiastes. Many folk music standards are Pete Seeger songs, such as “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” and “Big Rock Candy Mountain.” During the Civil Rights Movement, he was one of the musicians who popularized “We Shall Overcome.” Read more at more at www.currentincarmel.com.
Last year, con artists attempted to scam Hamilton County residents by calling and threatening arrest, claiming victims were delinquent in paying taxes. A new variation of this scam has popped up in Hamilton County with thieves now calling and threatening arrest because victims did not appear for jury duty. In an even more interesting twist, the callers may be using names of courthouse employees to lend credence to their calls. Read more at more at www.currentincarmel.com.

Taking a spin at Carmel’s Princess Ball By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com It’s a magical evening – from the horse-drawn carriage to the elegant decorations – a time for daughters to take to the dance Children floor with their fathers for the second annual Princess Ball. “Prior to my joining Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation they had a daddy-daughter dance around this time of year for many years,” said Traci Broman, events supervisor with the parks department. “The Princess Ball adds a level of elegance that the typical daddy-daughter dance didn’t have – including a punch fountain and hot hors d’oeuvres.” Even though it’s a relatively new event, the ball is already quite popular – drawing a large number of attendees last year and 300 expected to attend this year’s dance on Feb. 8. “In order to allow everyone a ride on the carriage and enough space to move around and enjoy the event, we do cap the event at 300,” Broman said. Girls must be at least 4 years old to attend, but Broman said the majority are between 4 and 9 years old. “The majority is dads and daughters,” Broman said. “But we do get a handful of uncles and grandfathers.” It’s a night to remember for the little girls. “Besides a fun evening and wonderful memories for dads and daughters, I think it is

important for girls to know how they should be treated on a date and get to experience their first date with their dad,” Broman said. “What better way for a dad to show his daughter the respect she deserves from men than taking her on her first date.” In addition to the carriage and refreshments, there will be crafts, activities, games, a free raffle and photos provided by Liberty Mutual Insurance. “Every room is themed to a different princess (or two), such as Ariel’s and Jasmine’s Arts and Crafts, Sleeping Beauty Photos, Princess Puzzles and Games, Belle’s Bright House Ballroom, Winter Wonderland Hallway, Cinderella’s Carriage and more,” Broman said. The ball is will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Feb. 8 at the Monon Community Center East Building.

Junior Ice team headed to Canada By Gary Boskovich • news@currentincarmel.com
Imagine the excitement you would feel as an 11- or 12-year-old who played on a local peewee hockey team that had qualified for sports a prestigious international hockey tournament in Canada. What’s more, think of what it would be like to lace up your skates against teams from countries around the globe. That’s exactly what will be happening to Carmel’s Indiana Junior Ice hockey team next month. The core of the Junior Ice team has been playing for the past five or six years and consists of players primarily from central Indiana. Later this month that team will travel to Quebec City in Canada, stay with host families and participate in the Quebec International Peewee Hockey Tournament. More than 100 teams from Canada, Europe, the United States and Australia will participate in the event from Feb. 12 to 23. A veritable who’s-who of future National Hockey League superstars has competed in this youth tournament. They include hall of famers such as Mario Lemieux, Marcel Dionne and the great one – Wayne Gretzky. Although the players will have to miss some school, team manager John Tripp said, “We have the teachers provide homework … and we’ll sit the boys for some time every day and make sure they are working on their assignments.”

The Junior Ice, whose season runs from September to March, play in the Central States Development Hockey League comprised of teams from Chicago, St. Louis and the Junior Ice. The team travels a lot for both league and non-league play. “We’ll be in Wisconsin, over in Detroit, maybe upstate New York. The boys do a lot of traveling,” Tripp said. This will be the first time in 20 years, though, that the team has been invited to participate in the Canadian tournament. Tripp said he had to fill out an application and then a tournament committee did an evaluation based on the team’s results for the past couple of years against different teams. A by-product of this experience will be observing and absorbing some French Canadian culture. Plus the team can watch other gifted hockey players from different countries.

What happened: The school board approved a joint resolution that urges school-funding reform. What it means: Supt. Nicholas Wahl urged the board to sign a resolution that other Hamilton County government entities are currently considering. Its main provision is: “The recently enacted Senate Bill 517 … adversely impacts local government entities, including school corporations, throughout the state. One of its immediate impacts in Hamilton County will cause Westfield-Washington Schools to eliminate transportation. Unless it is repealed, it could have the same impact on all Hamilton County school corporations.” This is in reference to the so-called Circuit Breaker law and how it would force revenue shortfalls due to property tax caps being absorbed in budget cuts to a school district’s transportation and capital projects funds when it takes effect in 2015.

What’s next: Wahl will conduct a follow-up meeting with other signatories when they approve the resolution and together they will have a joint release to the legislature.

What happened: The school district received several gifts. What it means: The Gen YOUth Foundation donated $3,500 to Carmel Elementary, an anonymous donor gave $1,000 to the Carmel Education Foundation, author Sue Baer donated 10 copies of “The Grumbly, Rumbly Thunder” to Forest Dale Elementary and Orchard Park Elementary and Veggie U donated $10,575 worth of educational kits to the district.
What’s next: No further action is needed.
What happened: The school board approved transfers for the 2014 budget. What it means: Asst. Supt. Roger McMichael had previously been authorized to make budget transfers as part of the year-end closing process. The board simply reviewed his actions.
What’s next: No further action is needed.
What happened: The school board approved new rules for public comments and participation at its meetings. What it means: A person wishing to place an item on the agenda must now notify the superintendent in writing 14 days prior to the meeting it should be scheduled for. The board will issue a determination on the item in writing no later than five days after receiving it. Public comments will now be limited to five minutes for each presentation.
What’s next: No further action is needed.
What happened: Wahl presented an update on the implementation of his new district goals. What it means: Wahl said the district is currently reviewing the student growth model, exploring opportunities to integrate technology into daily instruction, establishing a student advisory group to give students a voice, working to help develop high-performing schools legislation and reviewing the current delivery model at the district’s two middle schools – although no changes or redistricting are likely in the 2014-15 school year.
What’s next: The implementation of the studentcentered goals is an ongoing process.

Dortha “Charleen” Hall Thomas, 87, of Home Place, died Jan. 21, 2014. She was born April 18, 1926, in Seymour, Ind., to the late George and Vaneta Jackson Hall. Charlene’s joy in life was her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother. Charlene enjoyed gardening - especially her African violets - cooking, and reading to her grandchildren.

Carmel ballroom dancer an amateur national, world champion By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com
Vicki Barbera and her dance partner, Jonah Schneider, won world amateur champion awards at the Fred Astaire World Championships in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (submitted photo)
Dancers from Carmel’s Fred Astaire Studio recently attended two of the nation’s largest ballroom dancing competitions. And, despite thousands of competitors, local dancer Vicki Bardancing bera brought home the gold. “We came home with the world amateur champion and national champion (titles),” said Dan Rutherford, owner of the Fred Astaire Dance Studios at 116th Street and Guilford Road. “This is a big deal for any dance studio or student.” Barbera – who owns Vicki Barbera Marketing – has been dancing with the Fred Astaire Dance School for six years. “I was over the moon. I was honored to even be in the finals with such awesome dancers, but to win? I work hard, but never imagined I could achieve so much in such a short time,” Barbera said. “I couldn’t help thinking how fortunate I am to be able to study with such a wonderful and talented instructor, and with former and current professional world champions – without even having to leave my own city.” The first event Barbera won - the Fred Astaire World Championships in San Juan, Puerto Rico - boasted more than 8,000 entrants. “Studios and students from all over the world were in attendance,” Rutherford said. “The Pro/Am (a professional dancing with an amateur) competitions are divided into many different groups, from the beginner to the most advanced. The most advanced division is called ‘open.’ In an open division, a competitor must dance multiple dances and the score is based upon a culmination of results.” Barbera will showcase her skills on the dance floor again at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 7 when the studio hosts a team match. “Students in the studio will be divided into three separate teams and will be competing against each other,” Rutherford said. “The

event is being judged by the current world professional champion, Riccardo Cocchi. This would be like having Michael Jordan teach you how to play basketball or Tiger Woods how to play golf - it’s a big deal.” Admission is $15. Soft drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

Dan McCord of the Hamilton County Urban Conservation Alliance has assisted on several restoration projects such environment as the installation of a schoolyard’s native habitat at Shamrock Springs Elementary School in Westfield and the conversion of common area spaces into prairie ecosystems in various local neighborhoods. And he said he has found McCord that the conversion from turf grass to a prairie habitat can be a money-saver for homeowners’ associations that have to maintain large common areas. How much? Almost $8,000 in one neighborhood due to reduced maintenance needs. McCord, who sits on the board of the Ridgefield Homeowners Association in Fishers, proposed turning that neighborhood’s common areas into land filled with native plants instead of the standard turf grass. The project consisted of planting approximately 4.5 acres of native warm-season grasses and wildflowers in the neighborhood’s meadow and around its retention pond. In addition, over 300 native trees and shrubs were planted. The native plants essentially take care of

themselves because it is not necessary to mow, fertilize or water them as it is for turf grass. The HOA no longer spends more than $8,000 a year to maintain the area. Instead, residents now spend under $1,000 per year, while creating an ecological benefit to the neighborhood and an opportunity for wildlife habitat. “Converting the area to native plants improved the water quality in the neighborhood retention pond, as well as eliminating the goose nuisance issue,” McCord said. “Finally, the common area has become a wildlife haven.” His organization has extensive experience planting native trees, shrubs and grasses and can assist in planning, designing, preparing and implementing these projects. “We need to get out of the mindset of mowed grass,” McCord said.

Time to plan for drought is now
By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com
The severe droughts of the past several years have been brutal on area lawns. But a local expert is planning to provide tips to help your property survive and thrive the next plants time the weather turns dry. Claire Lane, a backyard conservation coordinator with the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District, has helped create an educational workshop for people to attend this February. “People will learn that although periods of drought may be inevitable, a decline in your yard’s health or beauty is not,” Lane said. One of the keys to dealing with drought conditions and maintaining your lawn is to choose landscaping that is resilient and will survive varying weather conditions. Lane’s presentation will provide a question-andanswer period by experts in the field who will be able to deliver insight on choices people can make this winter to help plan for springtime challenges. The workshop will provide answers on topics such as grass seed options, when to water and in what conditions it’s better to let your lawn go dormant. And it will give attendees a chance to learn about the Backyard Conservation Program. “This program offers free site visits and technical assistance covering the workshop topics,” Lane said, noting that the district can even help create a personalized conservation plan.

Award recognizes ‘service above self’ Commentary by Jeff Worrell Get ready for an 8.5”x11” paper shortage. Soon, high school juniors from near and far will be scooping up volunteerism every available piece of parchment in order to attach accolades, glowing references, community service examples and kudos to their official application. The smart students know to search for paper, fill out the application and turn it in before the deadline as the prestigious award is worth every ounce of effort they can muster. The William D. McFadden Student Service Award, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Carmel, is now taking applications. The award recognizes juniors only, and there is a significant cash award designed to be used post-graduation. If you are a junior at Carmel High School or you know of a worthy junior, then, by golly, text, e-mail or smoke signal this information to him or her as soon as possible. The $2,000 cash prize is up for grabs. Rich Taylor is chairman of the committee responsible for this year’s effort to recognize an outstanding junior who best exemplifies the life of William (Bill) McFadden. Although he has been suffering from some health issues recently, an entire community owes him a debt of gratitude.
Taylor said, “This award was established to recognize high school students involved in their community in a way that exemplifies the Rotary motto, ‘Service above self.’ Together, Bill and Judy Ford sponsored many foreign exchange students at CHS, so honoring juniors in this way is an especially fitting tribute to Bill.” Bill McFadden served on the last Town Board in 1974 before Carmel became a city with an elected city council. Besides being very involved with children and teens in Carmel, Bill was the team leader for a group of Rotarians travelling to Norway whose mission was to build peace and world understanding among communities. Taylor said, “We know Carmel is flush with youth who are doing so many great things for our community. They should be acknowledged.” To learn more about the award and the requirements, go to www.carmelrotary.com. You can also contact Rich Taylor at 818-7167 or rftayloriii@yahoo.com, or contact your school counselor for more information. Applications must be postmarked by April 11.

Funds for rainy - and snowy - days By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Many songs over the years have encouraged us to “save for a rainy day,” and the 1950s standard “Here’s that Rainy Day” ends with the poignant phrase, “Funny. That government rainy day is here.” Although most of us would be wise to heed the advice in those songs, but sometimes don’t, both city and county government entities actually maintain “rainy day” funds, and that should give us all an added sense of security. But how much money set aside is enough? What constitutes a “rainy day”? And under what circumstances might officials dip into those funds? Who gets to decide? Each government entity that operates within Carmel’s boundaries has millions in either rainy day funds or other reserves. And the authorization of expenditure from those funds must come from the governing fiscal body that oversees the entity — the city or county council or the township board. The county “We are in very good fiscal shape,” said County Council President Rick McKinney. “We have no immediate plans to touch our rainy day fund, as in addition to the $22 million in that fund, we also have an excess of over $20 million in our general fund. Even with the harsh winter, we’re in very good shape in terms of winter weather maintenance — salt, plows, etc. “There has been talk about using some of the money in the rainy day fund for a special project, such as expanding the judicial center, rather than bonding the full amount,” McKinney said. “But we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Over the past two or three years, we’ve been able to save more and more.” The township “It’s not a lot of money, that’s for sure,” Clay Township Trustee Doug Callahan said of its $94,723 rainy day balance. “We’ve had as much as $700,000 in there over the past seven years. And with all of this bad weather, we may have
to use it for road maintenance or township assistance. People may need help with utility bills and such.” The city “The Department of Local Government Finance recommends a rainy day fund have about 10 percent of a city’s general fund budget,” said City Council Finance Chair Luci Snyder. “For Carmel, that would mean somewhere between $7 and $8 million. We are above that.” “It is an emergency fund,” Snyder said. “Emergencies can be natural disasters, such as a tornado or flooding, or even a particularly harsh winter. Emergencies are not part of the general fund, even though there have been efforts to include those funds in the operating budget. But they can also be legal situations or other unanticipated, unbudgeted expenses.” For example, Snyder said, the council has recently offered rainy day funds to try to help settle the largest of the three pending lawsuits over the Palladium’s roof. However, the mayor declined the offer at this time, stating that there was still disagreement over the settlement amount and that the case is not ready to be settled at this time. “It’s a safety net,” said city council president Eric Seidensticker, “for something like the collapse of a sanitary sewer. We have huge debt along with needs that pop up on a regular basis that are not funded Seidensticker because we didn’t know about them. We don’t use the rainy day funds because something cost more than we expected it to. That’s not an emergency — it’s just bad planning.” “There is no magic to the term ‘rainy day’ funds,” said Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard. “It could be in a ‘rainy day’ fund or an operating balance in another fund. The key is just to have several months operating cash put back, and we most certainly do.” Safeguards The balances of the various rainy day funds break down as follows:

Merger means expanding services
Few residents speak at Brookshire hearing
By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com
Shepherd Insurance has recently acquired Fisher & Associates Insurance Agency of Noblesville. The team will now be operating as Shepherd Insurance from their existing office business at 1212 Westfield Rd. The merger became official on Dec. 30. This latest merger further strengthens the position that Shepherd Insurance holds as one of the state’s largest privately owned independent insurance agencies. The Noblesville office will become the company’s sixth location and the second in Hamilton County. Quinn Shepherd, partner at Shepherd Insurance, said the company has 12 employees that live in Noblesville. “We feel like we’ve been up here for a long time,” he said. “We’re staying local, doing business local. There is a sophisticated group of people in Noblesville. They know good service models.” Deirdre Fisher has 28 years of experience in the insurance industry. “I was looking for a support system to move forward and continue to grow in the insurance industry,” she said. “I’m looking out for my clients.” Fisher said she spent six months looking for better products, services and support services to grow her agency. “We felt a good connect with Shepherd and the people at Shepherd,” she said. “Even though they are large, they are very similar to our setting – family, team feel. I was most comfortable with them.” “Every acquisition has been part of our business model. A lot of agencies had our culture and wanted to grow and develop for customer base – owners always had customers in mind,” Shepherd said. Shepherd said Fisher’s customers should see “zero disruption” as the merger process moves forward. Plans call for a growth in

staff at the Noblesville office and the merger will remove the burden of administration and payroll. “It gives them more time to concentrate on customers,” Shepherd said. “Our customers are going to benefit from more carriers for their business needs – things a small agency doesn’t have the resources to offer,” Fisher said. Shepherd Insurance is a family-owned business founded by Dave Shepherd in 1977 and headquartered in Carmel. Shepherd specializes in personal and commercial insurance, employee benefits and financial products. “We started out of a garage,” Shepherd said. Shepherd Insurance is one of the state’s largest privately owned independent insurance agencies, with locations in Columbus, Greenfield, Evansville, Noblesville and Seymour. Shepherd said the next acquisition will be in Fort Wayne. “We’re 80 percent done with the deal,” he said. “We’re actively looking for agencies.” For more information, visit www.shepherdins.com.
The Carmel public appears to have minimal interest in which government entity owns Brookshire Golf Course given that only three speakers addressed the Park Board at a reparks cent public hearing on the topic. The City of Carmel has asked the board to consider purchasing the course in the hopes of recouping the $2.6 million that the Carmel Redevelopment Commission paid for the course in 2006. But in a Dec. 10 presentation before the board, a consultant hired to conduct a feasibility study on the subject recommended that the board would be better off letting the city maintain ownership and managing the golf course for a $50,000 annual fee. At the Jan. 28 public hearing, Brookshire neighborhood resident Denny Archer spent his time highlighting the benefits of the golf course. He also mentioned that the course needs a food service organization and that it’s a community asset that allows for a place for kids to learn to play golf. Jason Randlett, a member of the Brookshire Home Owners Association, addressed the news that the City of Carmel had recently purchased the pool on the golf course and he said he wanted consideration to let the neighborhood continue managing the pool. Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Director Mark Westermeier said he planned to have a meeting Feb. 9 with the Brookshire HOA to discuss the issue. The parks board likely won’t take any further action on its consultant’s recommendation in regard to the potential purchase of Brookshire Golf Course until meetings scheduled for March or April.

Carmel Clay School Board member won’t run again By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com
School Board member Greg Phillips has decided that he would rather step down at the end of his current term this year than run for re-election in the fall. government Elected in 2006, Phillips said he was making the announcement now so that other candidates would have time to decide whether to run. School board positions are chosen in the general elections and candidates don’t participate in primaries. Phillips “I love the heck out of the teachers,” Phillips said. “It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to serve on the school board.” “I would like to express my appreciation to Mr. Phillips for his community service to Carmel Clay Schools over the past eight years as a school board member,” Supt. Nicholas Wahl said. “He has been thoughtful in his approach to his duties as a board member with a genuine interest to improve Carmel Clay Schools for the betterment of our students and staff.” Phillips said he is nearing retirement in his full-
time job as a business analyst with the National FFA organization and isn’t sure what the future will hold for him. But he did mention that the teachers’ contract negotiations of recent years have weighed on him. “The labor piece has proven frustrating,” he said, noting the stream of grievances levied against the district. “I ran because I was asked to run on behalf of the (Carmel Clay Education) Association,” he said. Phillips said that in 2006, his goal was to bridge the gap that existed between the district and the teachers. But he lamented that with the exception of a brief time, the gap has only widened during his time on the board. “There’s nothing that seems to close this gap,” he said, noting that the board itself contains multiple former teachers’ association negotiators who are there to support teachers. Phillips said that when the district has offered the teachers association generous contract settlements, each one has been turned down and teachers have gotten less. “I hope that whoever takes my seat will bring a new sense of optimism … to make the district’s most important relationship more productive,” Phillips said, noting that he was speaking from

his own viewpoint and not as a representative of the school board. He also thinks that hiring the new Carmel schools superintendent was one of his proudest achievements during his tenure and that teachers should take advantage of this moment because Wahl would work to meet them more than halfway. “I think having hired a truly outstanding superintendent is something this board has done that will allow the district to go to an entirely new level,” he said. Phillips also has served as a non-voting member of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission for the past three years and said he was very pleased to be a part of a visionary group of people and participate in discussions of moving Carmel forward in a concrete way. But what’ll he miss most? “I’ll miss working with the other board members,” he said. “They’re dedicated and capable and they’re getting better.” “Mr. Phillips’ fresh perspective and inquisitive nature always moved the school board in a positive direction,” said school board President Layla Spanenberg. “We are grateful for Mr. Phillips’ years of service and dedication to the children of Carmel and wish him the very best.”

He is a chef Nguyen and wanted a place where he could cook the food he grew up eating. “I would never sell anything I don’t like,” he said. As the name suggests, the restaurant specializes in Pho, a traditional Vietnamese soup. Pho is a beef noodle broth with a choice of meat, rice noodles, onion and cilantro served with a side of jalapeno, bean sprouts, basil, lime and sauces. “We use an in-house stock and beef bone, simmering for 12 to 24 hours to make the base,” said Nguyen, who is also a chef and manager. “Our vegetables are cut every day, and we buy our vegetables every other day. A lot of the stuff is traditional, the stuff my parents would make at home.” The recipes at Super Bowl Pho are based on the menu of Nguyen’s grandparents’ restaurant in Vietnam. “We took their ideas and adjusted them based on the culture,” he said. Super Bowl Pho opened its doors on Oct. 11. Nguyen said he paid homage to Marlow’s café by keeping breakfast on the menu and using recipes he learned from the previous owner. “It was not as successful as we had hoped,” Nguyen said. “It wasn’t as busy and we took it

(breakfast) off the menu.” The restaurant is now working on updating its menu to offer a wider selection of traditional foods. One item Nguyen is excited to see on the menu is Bun Bo Hue, a beef-and-rice noodle dish that’s a specialty of Hue City in Vietnam. “We have 73 menu items and we’re going to 103, adding 30 items and making the menu easier to access,” Nguyen said. Other additions to the menu include more salad options and boba tea flavors. Also offered is a $4.95 lunch special served Monday through Saturday.

Holy Cow Cupcakes closing up shop By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com
It was sweet while it lasted. Things at the City Center got a little less sugary when Holy Cow restaurant Cupcakes closed its doors Jan. 31. The bakery, 61 W. City Center Drive, next door to Divvy, has served its last red velvet cupcake. On Jan. 30, lines were unexpectedly long and the case nearly empty as news of the closing spread across Facebook and Twitter. Everyone, it seemed, wanted one last bite. “We had a full case at noon,” said baker Shelly Ray. “Four hours later, it’s all gone. Too bad it hasn’t been this busy all along.” “I’m devastated that we have to close,” said owner Karen Sutton. “But the market is oversaturated. There are now 36 other cupcake vendors throughout our area, so people have a lot of choices. We used to get every order; now the customer base is just spread out.”

When asked what was next for her, Sutton said: “I’m just going to take a break for a while; we’ll see what’s next.” Holy Cow Cupcakes started out as a booth in the Farmer’s Market in 2008. It was the first cupcake purveyor in Carmel and business grew quickly. Sutton moved the business to its most recent retail storefront in City Center in July 2011.

The two bottles of Rosebud and Perfection Hardy Cognac served to dinner guests were valued at about $12,000.
On Jan. 24 Dr. Margaret Watanabe of Indianapolis hosted a wine and cognac tasting fundraiser event at her estate to benefit the American Pianists Association. The evening offered exciting opportunities to enjoy both music and fine cuisine. Pianist Sean Chen, who performed at the event, is a graduate of Julliard and is currently the association’s Cristel DeHaan Classical Fellow - a position awarded to a competition winner that carries a cash prize and career assistance for two years. Benedicte Hardy of Maison Hardy in the Cognac region of France brought some of the world’s rarest cognac for those who purchased dinner reservations. The Hardy Privilege is a purely French pre-phylloxera (epidemic that destroyed 90 percent of French grapes around 1863 to 1870) cognac. Prior to the blight, American diseaseresistant rootstock was grafted onto French vines to preserve and restore the industry. Once these 19th-century rarities are gone, of course, there will never be others. Currently, only six or seven bottles exist in the States, and 400 bottles worldwide. If someone were to buy it, it would cost about $12,500 per bottle. Also, dinner guests could taste 120-year-old Hardy Perfection and 95-year-old Hardy Rosebud cognacs, which together would retail for approximately $12,000. Laurent Drouhin of Maison Joseph Drouhin in the Burgundy Region of France brought Drouhin Clos de Mouche Blanc 2011 and Drounin Vosnee Romance 2010 for dinner guests. Renowned Indianapolis chef Trish McIlroy prepared the five-course dinner. For those who purchased tickets for tasting only, pre-dinner tastings included 10-yearold Hardy VSOP, 20-year-old Hardy XO and 50-year-old Hardy Noces D’Or cognacs, as well as Drouhin 2011 Chablis, 2011 Rully, 2011 Santenay and 2011 Gevrey-Chambertain wines. David Honig and Kim Thomas co-chaired the event. Among the 70 to 80 attendees for the event were Joel Harrison, Artistic Director, President and CEO of the association; Steve McNear, Chairman of the Board, with wife Deb McNear; Lamar and Jean Richcreek; Frank Allen; Donna Eide; Beth Ann Kendall; Brian and Susan Williams; Leanne and Michael McNeil; Joni and Nick Hrisomalas and Bridget Rawlins, to mention a few. ••• If you would like “Current in Carmel” to attend your party, gala or social function, please call Tonya Burton at 432-2451 to schedule your event.

Port Wine Blackberry Jam and Goat Cheese Linzer Cookies A modern take on the Linzer cookie that makes the perfect treat to enjoy with a glass of Fonseca Bin 27 port wine Yields 3 dozen 2-inch sandwich cookies Ingredients
Dessert maven
Carmel woman crowned cookie queen after winning national baking contest By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com Fifteen years ago, Marsha Brooks was known in her family for burning chocolate chip cookies. Fast forward to today and the Carmel resident is garnering national cover story accolades for her prize-winning cookie recipe. The 54-year-old was named the grand prize winner of the second annual Bin 27 Port & Cookie Rumble for her port wine blackberry jam and goat cheese Linzer creation. “I had to create a cookie that paired well with Fonseca Bin 27 port wine,” Brooks said. “This had to be an original recipe so I wanted to work off the cookies I usually bake since I had never had wine and cookies together. I always loved the appetizer when I serve cream cheese, put some kind of hot pepper jelly over it and serve it with crackers. I started to think of how I could incorporate that sweet and fruity taste with the bite from cheese on a cracker.” Brooks’ recipe was selected from more than 150 submitted on Bin 27’s Facebook page. The recipes were judged by chocolatier Jacques Torres, “Departures” magazine wine columnist Peter Weltman and cookbook author Dorie Greenspan. “Marsha’s winning Linzer cookie has it all: looks, taste, texture and imagination. It’s also a fooler,” Greenspan said in a statement. “At first glimpse, you’re sure it’s a beautiful, classic Linzer cookie, but one bite and you get the surprise – a hidden layer of tangy honey-lemon goat cheese.”
Winning contests is nothing new
Brooks learned about the contest from a friend. “I was interested in entering because one of the prizes was two tickets to the Aspen Food and Wine Festival in June, and I have always wanted to go, but the tickets were really expensive,” Brooks said. She also won a Kitchen Aid 7-quart stand mixer and a Kitchen Aid induction range. But Brooks said she is no stranger to winning recipes. “Years ago I won an online contest through Dole for an eggs and spinach dish. I also won second place one year at Sullivan’s
Hardware’s grilling contest for a hamburger with sautéed onions with Marsala wine and blue cheese,” she said. “I also made the bun and used the grill to bake it.” And, if her face is familiar, it’s because in 2001 Brooks won a contest sponsored by Emeril Lagasse. “I won an apple pie contest in 2001 right after Sept. 11. I appeared on ‘Good Morning America’ and then had the privilege of serving the pies with Emeril to the rescue workers of Sept. 11,” she said.
‘Dessert is always the explanation’
Brooks isn’t content to rest on her laurels, however – she’s already brainstorming how she can turn her love of baking and the challenge of creating new taste treats into a business. “I have always felt that people celebrate events in their life through dessert. And dessert is always the explanation of your event. Whether you think dessert is only chocolate or you like fruit in your dessert, or a decorated cookie, it always puts a smile on people’s faces,” she said. “I guess that is my main motivation to bake and make people happy. I haven’t decided yet exactly what I want to do, but I would like to keep the business small and cater to each person’s specific needs.”But for now, she doesn’t plan to enter any other contests. “In about two weeks my son and daughter-in-law are expecting a baby, so I will be concentrating on becoming a first-time grandmother,” Brooks said. “I can’t wait to make the cookies announcing that arrival.” Brooks credits her family for her accomplishments. “They have been my biggest cheerleaders, even when I have doubted myself and my abilities. I also have done some catering in the past and my husband and three kids and daughter-in-law were always there to help me set up events, carry cupcakes in the rain for me, run to the store at the last minute for forgotten ingredients and be my focus group to help me improve on what I do,” she said. “They have been my best taste testers and supporters.” She plans to reward that support with a special gift – a family cookbook to pass on to each of her children. “So they can have the recipes from our favorite holidays and desserts that have special memories and meaning to us,” Brooks said. “And I know this sounds really cliché, but when I am cooking for a holiday or baking for my family and friends, it really is my expression of love for them.”

Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast 6 to 8 minutes being careful not to burn. Let cool. In a food processor, add the walnuts and ¼ cup of brown sugar and process until finely ground. In a small bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and the remaining brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the walnuts and flour mixture. Mix until just combined. With floured hands, form dough into two balls. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about two hours (the dough can be made up to two days ahead and refrigerated). Working with one dough ball at a time, remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into circles using a 2-inch cookie cutter. Cut a small circle in the center of half the cookies. Continue with the second dough ball. Put cookies on a parchment-lined cookie sheet one inch apart and bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until the edges are golden. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

How to assemble the cookies Combine the softened goat cheese, honey and lemon zest. Lightly sprinkle powdered sugar onto the cookies with the holes in their center. On the remaining cookies, spread 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture onto their bottom, being careful not to break the cookies. Spread a heaping ¾ teaspoon of jam onto the cheese. Top with the powdered sugar cookie and lightly press together, making sure the jam does not come out the sides. Repeat the process and sandwich the remaining cookies in the same manner.

FROM THE EDITOR
FROM THE BACKSHOP Mother Nature rules the schools For now, we’re uncertain as to whether days will be added to the Carmel Clay Schools calendar as a result of the recent harsh weather. If the schools’ administration decides to add days at the end of the academic year, it will be the correct decision, in our opinion. Whereas we always advocate businesses open their doors unless Mother Nature delivers a disaster moment, keeping the students at home is a just priority, when wind chills close in on minus-40 degrees or visibility is so poor that buses full of students are at risk. The decision to close or delay schools of and on since the start of the year does not equate to a “weather freak-out.” It’s the implementation of common sense, and it is to be applauded. The state, we hope, will waive one of the snow days. This could mean Carmel High School’s graduation ceremony could be postponed to a different date for the same reason. Additional rescheduling of everything could happen, too, if any inclement weather causes additional full-day closings. ••• Now that the ominously frigid temperatures apparently are gone with the wind, we’d like to issue a heartfelt “well done” to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept., which, via Nixle (www. nixle.com), kept us abreast of every-changing weather conditions. Mark Bowen’s crew does a magnificent job using this service, and we believe you should take a look at it and make use of it. We’re fond of saying, “Weather happens” – and not only in winter. We rely on the feeds from Bowen’s office throughout the year. It’s a tremendous resource for anyone wishing to pay heed with respect to inclement weather, travel, general safety and protection. As Deputy Bryant Orem of the Patrol Division stated last week, “The yellow Travel Advisory for Hamilton County has been lifted and is no longer in effect.

Bill could alter Indiana’s apartment inspection process
A happy medium Commentary by Terry Anker Folks who don’t claim English as their native tongue often are heard to express frustration when learning our language many words that claim many meanings. A word can be a verb, noun or adjective. It can be defined by context, by mood or by regional dialect. Perhaps even more confusing, it can be demarcated in several mutually exclusive ways. The word “medium,” for example, is known to be both a unit of measure, a material and a person. It can be the size of drink between a small and a large – although I must admit that one rarely sees a small option on the menu at any American restaurant. We tend to stick with large and EXTRA large. Also, the word medium may be used as an expression of the material used in the construction of art. A mixed-medium piece would be constituted of several different substances used collectively to make the whole. And, don’t forget that a medium might be a person (one who fills the space between the spirit world, if we believe in these
kinds of things, and our corporal existence); or a medium might be used to express the job or role of someone who might fill this space between ghost and ghost-seeker. One doesn’t wonder at the confusion. Even as someone who can claim English the mothertongue, I find myself flummoxed by each generation’s fascination with taking a well-established word or phrase and redefining it in new and unexpected ways. As a case-in-point, it could be expected that the much-discussed gay marriage debate has little to do with allowing or disallowing gayety, once commonly defined as meaning a sense of happiness or joyfulness, in the institution. Indeed, it might not be a bad idea for legislatures to attempt to pass a law requiring this sort of gay marriage. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
Ernest Hemingway
House Bill 1403 is currently being debated in the General Assembly in Indianapolis. Sponsor Jud McMillin (R-Brookville) said the bill would make sure apartment dwellers would have safe places to live and reduce government intrusion into private business. It was prompted by cities in northwest Indiana that were charging apartment owners inspections fees and allegedly using the proceeds as additional revenue for the general fund. The language of this bill would end that practice. The bill’s text states that tenants could be required to reimburse owners for fees they are charged by municipalities for the inspection service and that municipalities may not inspect a rental unit or impose a fee pertaining to a rental unit that is managed by a “professional real estate manager.” McMillin said the definition of such managers isn’t yet defined in the bill. And local officials in Carmel city government are concerned that the language in the bill could allow apartments to self-inspect. That prospect is a concern because last year a dispute over code violation fines between the managers of Mohawk Hills Apartments and the City of Carmel nearly went to a jury trial. The case was dismissed with prejudice on Jan. 13 after Mohawk Associates agreed to pay $4,500 to reimburse the city for its inspection costs and then chose to make contributions to two charitable causes - $10,000 to a fund for the family of Shakir Paschall, whose father died the night of Carmel’s semi-state football game, and $10,000 to the Center for the Performing Arts. But McMillin said there is no need for concern. “They won’t be self-inspecting,” he said. He noted that hired inspectors would need to meet one of the following criteria: be employed by or perform inspections for government agencies (such as the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority), be a registered architect, professional engineer, perform inspections for financial institutions or insurance companies or satisfy qualifications for an inspector of rental units prescribed by the political subdivision. “I hope the end result is we can provide more inspections more often,” McMillin said.

Political inconsistency should inspire Commentary by John Accetturo
Today we live in a world of inconsistency, where many people say one thing and then do something else. So it should be no surprise that politicians practice inconsistency more than anyone else. Opinion In today’s world of communication with smartphones, iPads, Facebook and Twitter, you might think people would be held to what they say. However, that is not the case. Maybe with so much communication going on, people can’t remember what others say, so they can’t hold anyone accountable. It also could be that people are so inconsistent that they believe inconsistency is acceptable. I guess the most famous inconsistent statement a politician ever made might be, “I was for it before I was against it.” Politicians seem to be able to say whatever they want, whenever they want, and not be held accountable for their behavior. Believe me, not holding a politician accountable has nothing to do with a person’s socio-economic standing or education. People just don’t seem to care. A good example of this is when incumbents keep getting re-elected despite having said one thing and done another once in office. State laws like Indiana’s make it a lot easier for politicians to get away with inconsistent behavior because we have no recall. Therefore, even if elected officials do nothing, they can stay in office and get paid. Last year I attended a mass transit bill hearing at the statehouse, where the bill’s sponsors said we do it differently in Indiana; therefore, we can make mass transit
work. Afterward I looked up how IndyGo was working and found that it had a $59 million operating loss. This fact does not indicate that mass transit is working better in Indiana than in other places. Another example of political inconsistency is when politicians support a referendum on whether we should have a new mass transit system but oppose allowing people to vote on HRJ-3, an amendment to the state constitution to legally define marriage. One that hits home in Carmel is the mayor’s repeated promises not to use residential taxpayer money on redevelopment. Well, his behavior ended up being inconsistent with that statement after he used the funds to spearhead his vision that needed a bailout. Where does that put us today? In the past, voters challenged politicians’ inconsistent statements and behaviors; however, we see little of that now. In our kind and polite society, people are considered radical if they call a politician inconsistent or a liar, even when it is true. Just look at government today, where politicians are running amok and getting away with nearly anything they want. Until the truth becomes truth, the situation is going to get worse. When there is no truth or accountability, anything goes. Americans need to wake up before it’s too late.

READERS’ VIEWS Clearing your sidewalk benefits public safety Editor, I am a resident of a subdivision in the southwest portion of the city who has grown disgusted by my neighbors’ abject refusal to clear their sidewalks of snow. Clearly, the Jan. 5 snowstorm and ensuing cold hindered snow removal. And in some locations the private contractors didn’t help matters by pushing snow from the streets onto the sidewalks. But once the weather warmed, few residents attempted to clear their sidewalks. After the initial melt, I thought that with a blank slate, folks would clear the smaller, more powdery accumulations that followed. I couldn’t have been more wrong. These are not elderly or otherwise infirm residents; they are healthy men, in Carhartt-type coveralls and knee-high boots, who use their large, gas-powered snow throwers to clear their driveways multiple times during a single snowfall, but who ignore the sidewalks in front of their own homes. As an aside, I’ve cleared snow from the sidewalks in front of as many as seven homes between mine and the bus stop. It’s never taken more than 40 minutes, so imagine how easy it would be if everybody simply did his or her own part. Our homeowners’ association does not have a bylaw governing snow and ice removal. Sadly, we seem to be more concerned about the atrocity of seeing our neighbors’ trashcans and Weber grills than our children’s safety. It’s a sad day when our kids are forced to walk in the icy streets because homeowners refuse to make sidewalks passable for them. People decry government intervention, yet, for the sake of public safety, they won’t assume responsibility for a task that would take them 10 minutes. Betsy Harvey, 46032

Magic-mom touch saves birthday Commentary by Danielle Wilson I recently celebrated a birthday. My mom came up for the occasion and took my daughters and me out for a whirlwind shopping humor spree that ended with the mother lode of all sales ($60 to $90 coats marked down to $5. FIVE DOLLARS!). That evening, we ordered pizza and heard her stories of being pregnant in the ‘70s, learning she was carrying twins two weeks prior to delivering (thanks to an honest-to-God X-ray, which might explain quite a few things about me!) and deciding what boy names she’d chosen for each of her five daughters. (Your favorite columnist could have been Mark.) But the best part of the day came at an unexpected moment. I was shoving clothes into my teenage son’s dresser so my mom could at least find the bed she’d be sleeping in when I slammed the drawer closed on my finger. The pain was so intense I almost vomited when I got to the kitchen sink, but Mom was at my side immediately. As I ran cold water over my hand, she began rubbing my back, comforting me with her words and presence. She kept telling me I would be OK, that it didn’t look that bad. She gave me ibuprofen and then prepared an ice pack. She instructed me to sit down and elevate my hand, all while keeping my kids away and distracting me with comments about our house and the
weather and how a younger sister, much like I do, goes bat-poo crazy at her fourth-grader’s basketball games. I didn’t realize it until later, but the best part of my birthday was that hour on the couch with my mom. Sure, my wounded finger had throbbed like nobody’s business, but I had someone taking care of me. I was allowed to just be a hurting child again and not worry about all the parental duties and responsibilities I was neglecting. Normally if I am indisposed due to illness or traumatic injury, the kids show sympathy for about two minutes, only until they need help with homework or finding their lunch boxes or whatever. And my husband, though amazing, just isn’t used to being a caregiver. If I go down for the count, Doo responds either like a deer in headlights, paralyzed by panic, or like a typical man, somewhat short on empathy. But moms are special. They have that magical touch of knowing exactly what to say and do to “make it all better.” And guess what? They never lose that touch, even when their babies are 40ish. So despite my nearly lopping off my finger, I enjoyed a wonderful birthday, thanks to my mom (and the $5 coats!). Peace out.

Quite a snow job! Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I do not have a snow blower. And I refuse to buy one. All my neighbors have snow blowers and it looks like they are having humor so much fun that I don’t know why they don’t just plow on over to my house and enjoy themselves. The coffee is always on. After the last storm, snow mounted at our front door, drifting to over three feet deep. A huge pile of the white stuff blocked the driveway entrance, the result of a private company plowing our cul-de-sac. I was a man just primed to be taken advantage of by some savvy kid who knew I was a senior citizen with a decent job, back problems and a cardiologist on retainer. I walked outside and scanned the neighborhood. A few of my more fit neighbors were hard at work, if you call pushing that snow blower “work.” But teenagers, shoveling snow? Not a one. Where were those big, manly 17-year-olds whose parents have bumper stickers that say, “My son is a lineman for Warren Central”? I’ll tell you where they were, they checked the Internet to be sure schools were closed, then turned over and went back to sleep. Doesn’t anyone want my five bucks? (Oh, it’s $40 now? See how long it’s been since anyone has come by?) I’ve had kids lined up on my front step for the past 15 years looking for free handouts at Halloween. They used to come out on a blustery
Oct. 31 dressed like devils and pirates for a lousy Kit Kat. Now, they’re old enough to make an honest buck. Where are they? When I was a kid in New York, as soon as school was cancelled due to heavy snowfall, my best friend Arthur and I got into our warm coats, armed ourselves with shovels and set out in the neighborhood by 8 a.m. to make a financial killing. I remember one day coming home with a wad of scrunched-up wet bills in my pocket. I showed my mom the stash of $52. “That’s more than your father made today!” she said. She wasn’t kidding. I yearn for those days when I had the muscle and the heart (and the heart muscle) to shovel a driveway after a snowstorm. Now, I depend on young men and women who don’t want to make an extra buck and who instead are holed up in their rooms with a video game. Of course, it is possible a small band of young entrepreneurs did come by our house while my wife and I were huddled inside awaiting assistance. They saw the snow piled up at our front door and on the driveway. Maybe, they thought, no one lives here anymore.

‘Steel Magnolias’ – laughter through tears
By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com “I love you more than my luggage.” For a woman who has really good luggage, that’s saying a lot. But love is theatre what “Steel Magnolias” is all about. And when Clairee tells Ouiser that she loves her “more than her luggage,” what she’s really saying is that she would do anything in the world for a friend who is truly family to her. Many people remember “Steel Magnolias” as a marvelous, tear-jerking, heartwarming movie with a fabulous ensemble cast that included Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine and Daryl Hannah. But like many great movies it was based on a stage play, and the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will present that play beginning Feb. 7. Robert Harling authored “Steel Magnolias” and based it on a very personal experience surrounding his sister’s death. The play opened in New York City in 1987 and was adapted for the screen in 1998. For those who have never seen the stage play (or spent an evening with a group of girlfriends crying into a bowl of popcorn), it centers on a
group of women in Louisiana: M’Lynn and her daughter, Shelby, who suffers from diabetes and a resulting chronic kidney condition; Truvy, who owns the hair salon where the women often spend their time; a grouchy widow named Ouiser; a cheery, well-to-do widow named Clairee; and a timid new employee named Annelle. The story takes the women through many of life’s landmark events, including weddings, divorces, births and, inevitably, death. But the crux of the play is the women’s steely resolve to pull each other through with love, laughter and optimism. Civic’s production stars Kathryn “Kat” Paton (Hendricks County) as M’Lynn and Emily Lantz (Noblesville) as her daughter, Shelby. June McCarty Clair (Carmel) plays Ouiser, Jean Childers Arnold (Indianapolis) plays Truvy, Pamela Kingsley (Westfield) plays Clairee and Casey Votaw (Indianapolis) plays Annelle. Civic audiences may recognize Lantz (as Shelby, the show’s tragic heroine) from ensemble roles in “Pippin,” “A Chorus Line” and “Guys and Dolls.” “I’m completely honored to have the opportunity to play this role,” Lantz said. “I remember watching the movie and really being moved by
Julia Roberts’ portrayal. Shelby goes through such a huge transformation in the show, from a girl who cares only about appearances to an amazing, strong woman who would literally give her life for her child.” “You know, plays come and go,” said Civic’s Artistic Director Bob Sorbera. “Of the 100,000 or more plays written over the years, so many of them have a shelf life. Cultures, styles and points of view change over the years. Just a handful of plays are truly timeless, and ‘Steel Magnolias’ is one of them. The characters are well-written, and the story - because it’s based on actual events - really rings true. I’ve had the pleasure of directing this play three times now, once before for Civic in 2003. It can be wildly hilarious and terribly sad, often in the same moment. It’s truly a beautiful play.” “Steel Magnolias” • Show times from Feb. 7 through Feb. 22 • Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre • The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • Tickets start at $41.50; $31.50 for kids up to age 18 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Second City to deliver laughs
By Zach Manges • news@currentincarmel.com A belated winter gloom may be settling in, but luckily for residents, an opportunity for some good belly laughs to ease the woe is fast approaching. comedy Zionsville will play host to the nationally renowned comedy troupe The Second City at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 7, The comedy troop is making its fourth appearance in town on its new “Happily Ever Laughter” tour. “We definitely want to bring something fresh and new,” Cast Member Erin Lann said. “This running order specifically is fun because it has so much new material and some old favorites that haven’t been seen for a while. There will be lots of physical comedy that people can look forward to.” From its inception by Paul Sills, Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins, The Second City has flouted the convention of stuffy theatre by appealing to all generations of viewers. The comedy group also sets itself apart from others of its kind through a format that includes a range of both scripted and improvisational sketches. Even the
prewritten sections of the show include some improvisation to keep the audience and the performers guessing. According to Lann, this benefits not only viewers, but the cast members as well. “The fact that we have improvisation in all our sketches is paramount. No one can anticipate or plan what will happen, so that’s a fun aspect to it,” Lann said. “It’s not like theatre plays where an actor just fills a role. Here it’s material they’ve created, so the chemistry is undeniable. Every actor has a poignant view and you just want to watch them (all).” “Improvisation keeps theatre extremely relevant and successful because you can see the show 20 nights in a row and each is still going to be unique,” Lann said. “You can’t explain what’s funny to someone. You just have to go see it for yourself.”

The seven-time Tony-Award-winning “Cats” pounces onto the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage as the first musical in its theatre 2014 season. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s playful production is the second-longest running show in Broadway history and will be presented from Feb. 6 through March 30 at Beef & Boards. “Cats” brings audiences into the poetry of T.S. Eliot, whose “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” inspired the musical about frolicking felines gathering for the Jellicle Ball. One by one, they introduce themselves in hopes of being selected by their leader, Old Deuteronomy, to be reborn into a new life with a journey to the Heavyside Layer. Featuring spectacular dancing, amazing makeup and colorful costumes, “Cats” is an unforgettable experience in the intimate atmosphere of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre – where they are close enough to touch. Not just on stage,
the frolicking creatures are in the aisle and all around, even overhead. Kenny Shepard of Fishers reprises his role of the narrator, Munkustrap, who he has played in both of Beef & Boards’ previous productions of “Cats.” Performing for the first time at Beef & Boards are J.S. McLaughlin as Old Deuteronomy and Eileen Faxas as Grizabella, who sings the show’s famous “Memory.” Buddy Reeder, who played the role of Mungojerrie in Beef & Boards’ debut production of “Cats” in 2004, directs the show and restages Marc Robin’s original award-winning choreography. Musical director is Terry Woods, with set design by Michael Layton.

VALENTINE’S DAY

The Valentine’s dilemma: Obligation or opportunity?
Commentary by Julie Osborne
Fragrant flowers, sparkling gems, shiny cards with expressions of love, chocolate everywhere, hearts galore ... it’s that time of year again, my favorite time (not!). I don’t know when or where it started, but Valentine’s Day at some point became my least favorite holiday. Maybe it happened gradually as my years of singleness increased along with the hoopla, which became just one more in-my-face reminder of my lonely, partnerless state. More

annoying were the giddy, romantic couples who appeared to surround me at every turn and made me feel inferior since the love in the air was not what I was breathing. I can’t pinpoint exactly when, but I grew to dread February, and it had nothing to do with the weather. Until one day when I found myself listening to my own words as I talked about the Hallmark holidays with my kids. The words poured out without my thinking: “I know it feels like an obligation but why not look at it as an opportunity to express your appreciation and love for some-
one?” I asked. Where did THAT come from? Wow, that was pretty good! It was even after Mother’s Day so it couldn’t have been premediated or some passive-agressive planting of seeds. It just spewed out of nowhere. Since then I have decided to embrace, rather than complain about, Valentine’s Day and the other holidays set aside throughout the year for seemingly commercial purposes ($14 billion for Valentine’s Day alone, by the way). I’ve decided to use this time to express my love and gratitude to family and friends. And, with my Christmas
cards still heaped in a stack on the corner of my kitchen counter, it’s a perfect time to send an “early” valentine. May you also come to see Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to show someone your love. And, of course, it doesn’t hurt to pick up a dozen roses, too!

Martyrs and matchmaking: How Valentine’s Day started It actually started with a person, Valentine or Valentinus, but can also be linked to a pagan celebration, Lupercalia, which involved slapping straps of goat hide onto women to increase their chances of fertility, and then later matching them up by a random draw with potential suitors. The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints with the name Valentine, one of whom was martyred on February 14. One legend tells the story of a third-century Roman priest under the reign of Emperor Claudius II. He decided that single men made better soldiers on the battlefield than homesick married men who were missing their families. As a result, Claudius outlawed marriage for young men, but Valentine stepped up couragelously against him and continued to marry couples secretly. When he discovered this, Claudius ordered
that Valentine be put to death. The legend continues with Valentine falling in love with the jailer’s daughter (some more conservative versions of the story say “healing the daughter”) and, on the day of his death, leaving a note behind for her signed, “From your Valentine.” From that legend, the celebration spread and, in the Middle Ages, became romanticized. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem the Duke of Orleans wrote to his wife in 1415 while imprisoned in the Tower of London. In the 1840s, Valentine’s cards became more well-known and widespread by the “Mother of Valentine,” Esther Howland, who began designing and mass producing valentines in America. According to the Greeting Card Association, today an estimated one billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest cardsending holiday of the year behind Christmas (2.6 billion cards).

and tricks that will extend the life of your cut flower arrangement. Quality floral arrangements should last four to seven days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive from you, your florist and the farmer who grew them. Many cut flowers travel halfway around the world before even arriving to your local florist, so a trusted local florist is key. Hydration is Life! Fresh, clean water should be added daily to the vase or floral foam. We recommend changing the water completely every three days or before if the flower food solution becomes cloudy. If possible, re-cut stems by removing 1 to 2 inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into the solution. You should never use softened or well water for fresh-cut flowers. Salt in any form is not a friend to
fresh flowers or plants and the minerals in well water will clog flower stems and stop them from drinking. Flower stems can be visualized as millions of little straws wrapped together – if they begin to clog or are pinched, the flowers will stop drinking, thus shortening their life. Hydrangeas are notorious for wilting even when cared for properly – if this happens, use a sharp knife to make a fresh cut, removing about an inch of the old stem, and place it immediately into fresh water; watch it come back to life in less than an hour. If it continues to wilt, you can submerge the entire bloom head and stem in water, re-cut the stem under water and keep it submerged for about 20 minutes or until it has rehydrated. Many flowers can be saved with the same care. Location, location, location! Keep fresh flowers in a cool spot (65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit) away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents and not directly under ceiling fans or on top of televisions or radiators. Heat = dehydration. Most flowers last longer under cool conditions. Brian Davies owns Zionsville Flower Company and teaches floral design at IUPUI. He can be reached at Saleszfc@gmail.com.

The importance of asset location Commentary by Joel Harris
As we embark on setting our goals for 2014, it might be a good idea to take a closer look at the asset location of personal finance your investments. Many of us have heard about the benefits of asset allocation, a theory in which a person invests his or her money in several asset classes in an attempt to provide the greatest return potential over time. This is all based on the person’s level of risk tolerance, time horizon and investment objectives. But what about asset location? The idea behind asset location is placing various investments in different types of accounts to help minimize taxes. One of the most often overlooked aspects of short- and long-term financial planning is minimizing taxation through careful asset location. In the new year we will be inundated with ads on TV, radio and the Internet about taxes. Yes, that dreaded word we all loathe ... taxes. Instead of going through the motions and rushing to the post office on April 15, I challenge you to take a really close look at where your investments are located. With the equity markets having an outstanding year in 2013, many commonly held investments will pass on short- and long-term capital gains to investors. These hidden tax bombs can really wreak havoc in a taxable brokerage account. When you do your asset location analysis, focus particularly on the turnover ratio of your investments. Some investments can have upwards of 200 percent turnover in a given year. That means the capital gains exposure could be quite significant.
Why is that important? More than likely, you will receive a 1099 in February from your brokerage custodian because the capital gains were passed on to you as the shareholder, even if you didn’t sell any shares that given year. Instead of owning investments with high turnover inside a taxable brokerage account, wouldn’t it be more tax advantageous to own passively managed exchange traded funds? It is certainly something to consider, and it should be closely examined with your financial professionals. Additionally, taking advantage of tax-deferred accounts should be a priority. Taxation on your investments is the closest thing to acid rain for your money. It is imperative to keep an umbrella over your investments through the use of tax-qualified accounts such as 401(k)s, traditional and Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs, and even tax-deferred annuities. The compounding effect of money in taxqualified accounts is profound, so take a close look at these accounts when you analyze your asset location. In 2014, you will be allowed to contribute up to $17,500 into your 401(k) accounts, plus an additional $5,500 if you’re over age 50. The 2014 contribution limits on traditional and Roth IRAs will be $5,500, plus an additional $1,000 if you’re over age 50. Keep in mind that you still might qualify to contribute up to $5,500, plus an additional $1,000 if you’re over 50, into your IRAs for the 2013 tax year.
news@currentincarmel.com December building permit reports indicate that the construction business will do well in 2014 in the central Indiana area. Single-family building construction permits increased 21 percent compared to November numbers and increased 19 percent over 2012 numbers. There were 4,959 new home permits issued in 2013 compared to 4,182 in 2012.
“This is a true indicator of a strong economy in central Indiana,” said Steve Lains, CEO of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. “We have continued to see permit numbers steadily increase and forecasters are predicting numbers to hold strong in 2014; proving that a growing housing market is critical to a stable economy.” In central Indiana, the permits issued through December 2013 are poised to create a total economic impact of $888,076,580 in local income, $201,608,085 in local taxes, and 15,036 local jobs.

DISPATCH The Obamacare penalty applies only to those who get a tax refund - Starting this year, the Obamacare law imposes a penalty on individuals who fail to have so-called minimum essential health insurance coverage for any month. However, if you fit into one of the following categories, you are exempt from the penalty: Your 2014 household income is below the federal income tax return filing threshold (generally $10,150 for singles, $20,300 for married couples filing jointly and $13,050 for heads of households); your existing health insurance plan was canceled; you suffered a hardship in obtaining coverage; you have only a short coverage gap; you qualify for an exception on religious grounds; you aren’t a U.S. citizen or national or are in the U.S. illegally; you are incarcerated; or you are a member of an Indian tribe. You are supposed to pay any penalty you owe with your Form 1040 for the year — starting with your 2014 return, which you will file sometime next year. However, the only enforcement mechanism is that the government can subtract any unpaid penalty from your federal income tax refunds. So if you’re not owed a refund for 2014 or a later year, you will never have any consequences for not paying the penalty. You won’t be subject to criminal prosecution, and the IRS cannot put a lien or levy on your income or assets. - Yahoo! Finance

Color captured with a little work Commentary by Vicky Earley
Color is probably the most powerful interior design element. It is recognized universally and evokes emotions that are decorating tightly connected with meaning. The strips and decks of color chips seem, on the surface, like a source of infinite choice of lovely hues and a direct path to interior decorating nirvana. That path, however, is ripe with trip hazards. For 95 percent of the interior color needs, the bright or clean colors can be removed from consideration. This leaves the muted or neutral tones … the colors which are mixed with black or umber to grey them down for a richer, more complicated color. Although our color trends are leaning toward a more vibrant color palette, it is just a matter of less muting than swinging all the way to a clean color. Most homeowners can find a perfectly fine color within the predetermined hues that are represented by computer generated color chips found at the paint store. There are times, however, when that perfect color is elusive. The symptom of this is stacks and stacks of chips laid out on the kitchen table and patches of test swatches of the wall. These are stacks that range from gray to green or raspberry to russet. The cause is not indecision…the right color simply isn’t there.
A way to morph these chips into the perfect color is to relax and identify two colors that are close but not quite. These close candidates have the qualities the room is demanding but are just off a bit. Mixing the two colors with a ratio of 50/50 just might do the trick. Fill the container with half of each color leaving enough space to shake. The critical part is an even dispersion of the tones. When the color differentiation streaks have disappeared, test this newly developed color on, you guessed it, poster board. When it comes time to look at the color in the room, look at wall color as you would see it on the wall…vertically! Mixing your paints to achieve a hue that is distinctively yours just requires a few plastic containers with lids and 2 quarts of “almost colors” in the correct sheen. If it is a winner, you have developed a color that is yours and only yours. Before you go to the paint stores and ask them to do the mixing for you, please reconsider. Paint stores are set up to mix their preset colors based on their recipes. Most are willing to tweak colors on the spot but mixing is above and beyond the call of duty.

For consideration: Canine mobility and mobility aids
Commentary by Lisa Beals
As your dog ages, it becomes more important to focus on maintaining his strength through strengthening and conditioning for PETS mobility and balance. If his hind end strength is lost through aging or degenerative processes and cannot be restored with exercise, there are basic mobility aids that can be used to assist your dog in his daily activities. Core strengthening and balance can be enhanced with little or no equipment or with the use of stability balls. Here are a couple of easy exercises for your dog: Using treats or cues, have your dog walk backwards. This is challenges his balance with a different motor pattern than he is used to and is very easy to perform. By straddling your dog with both of your legs, you can provide him with a minimal external challenge to his balance by gently
rocking your legs and therefore his body side to side. This provides a gentle challenge through a very small range of motion and challenges your dog’s proprioception and balance by requiring him to react and stabilize his muscles to this gentle sway and minimal unexpected force. For teacup dogs, use your hands on either side of his body to provide a petite challenge to his balance. You can also have your dog walk over caveletti poles to facilitate him in picking his legs up and working on flexion and extension as he reaches forward to step in between the next pole. Since most people don’t have caveletti poles, foam noodles (used in the pool) work wonders. Balance can also be enhanced with the use of peanut or stability balls. Have your dog put his front paws on a long peanut shaped ball (use the couch if you don’t have a peanut ball). Using treats, cue him to walk sideways with his feet on the floor and his paws on the ball.
Repeat going the other way. This is a good exercise for hind end strength. With a little bit of encouragement, your dog can be taught the advanced skill to stand on a stability ball with you providing contact guard support. Make sure the ball is securely positioned next to a wall or wedged so that it will not move. Always use a collar/harness and leash combination for safety while your dog is on the ball. Standing on top of the ball may be enough of a challenge for your dog in itself. If not you can practice “cookie stretches” by having your dog turn his head and neck to follow a “cookie” or treat while he is standing on the ball. This “cookie stretch” provides a gentle self-stretch to the lateral muscles supporting your dog’s spine. In the event of a chronic or degenerative condition affecting the hind limbs that will not allow for sufficient strengthening for performance of his daily activities such as climbing stairs, there are commercially available mobility
aids available through Orvis or In the Company of Dogs. Here are a couple of my favorites. The Help ‘Em Up Harness is basically a sling for the dog’s hind legs and spine that allows you to efficiently and ergonomically support him as you assist him up and down the stairs. If your dog can no longer jump into bed or on a couch (that he is allowed to jump on !), provide him with portable dog stairs or a dog ramp. This maintains his independence of getting into bed and save you from having to lift him in and out. For dogs that slip on wood floors and have trouble getting up and down, product called “Show Foot” can be sprayed on your dog’s paws to provide extra traction.

Megiddo: The last battleground?
Commentary by Don Knebel
The excavated ruins of the ancient city of Megiddo overlook Israel’s Jezreel Valley. Based on a single ambiguous statement in travel the Bible, millions of people believe Megiddo and the Jezreel Valley will be the site of a climactic battle between good and evil. The Jezreel Valley, a triangular inland valley south of the Sea of Galilee, has been part of an important trade route between Egypt and southwest Asian empires for thousands of years. The Romans, who also used the route for military campaigns, called it the “way of the sea.” Competing empires trying to control intercontinental trade have fought at least 34 battles in the Jezreel Valley, the first one in the 15th century B.C. when Pharaoh Thutmose III fought the King of Kadesh. In the 20th century A.D., the allies fought the Ottoman Empire there. Since about 7,000 B.C., the city of Megiddo has controlled access to the Jezreel Valley. The Bible reports that King Solomon fortified Megiddo, along with the cities of Gezer and Hazor. Excavations at Megiddo have uncovered a 10th century B.C. chambered gate very similar to those found at Hazor and Gezer, lending support to that account. Archaeologists digging through 26 layers of ruins have also found evidence of administrative buildings and storehouses from Solomon’s time and a concealed tunnel built in the ninth

century B.C. that gave Megiddo residents access to their water supply during sieges. Megiddo was permanently abandoned after 586 B.C. when the Babylonians captured Jerusalem. The Book of Revelation reports that unnamed kings will be gathered together at Armageddon just before Jesus’ return, presumably to prepare for battle. The word “Armageddon” is a translation of the Hebrew “har megiddo,” or “mountain of Megiddo,” an apparent reference to the large earthen hill or “tel” that eventually formed over the abandoned Megiddo ruins. Relying on this

passage, Christians since the first century have predicted one final battle in the Jezreel Valley, almost always involving the most hated regimes of their eras, from the Romans to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. The wait goes on.

Upgrading a standard screened porch to striking architecture
Commentary by Larry Greene
Exisiting porch: This home in the Woods of Williams Creek addition on the west side of Carmel included a fairly blueprint for basic screened porch improvement installed by the original builder. The porch extended out to include an exterior deck landing and staircase. The goal of the project was to upgrade the screened porch, expand the deck footprint and upgrade the stairway down to the pool area. Porch upgrades: Most of the existing porch walls, trim and ceiling were removed. New piers were installed allowing the footprint of the porch and deck to be expanded out into the back yard. A new set of French patio doors were installed connecting the porch to the kitchen. New double screened doors were added to the other end of the porch allowing better access out to the deck. The ceiling received special detail with a beaded ceiling with coffers and trimmed out with crown molding. Deck details: The new deck and staircases were built using Trex Transcend composite decking in a Lava Rock color. Cable railing: A cable railing system, using powder coated newel posts and stainless steel cables, offered a more contemporary look and architectural interest to the structure. It also protected the view of the back yard from the up-
before & after
Final results: Good design transformed what could have been just an ordinary deck and staircase into a striking piece of architecture. Enhancing the already beautiful back yard, the new structure also offered the homeowners better views and increased functionality.
per porch. Cedar was used for the handrails and stained to match the new composite decking. Lighting: Lighting was of particular importance for safety, as well as aesthetics. LED accent lights were installed along the perimeter of the deck. Stair tread lighting was installed in a staggered pattern, allowing the steps to be lit using fewer fixtures.
Planter boxes: To create a relaxing ambiance and privacy for the hot tub area, custom-built planter boxes were added to the tub decking. The boxes were framed in green treated wood, and wrapped with the Trex material to match the new structure.
