Redmond

‘Master’ gets curtain call

New city engineer

Mike Redmond says it is not too early, guys, to start thinking about Valentine’s Day. This is because he is a guy and knows how guys work, and that means he knows that 90 percent of guys tend not to think about Valentine’s Day until it is almost too late. To prevent an upset Valentine, Redmond offers a few suggestions. Read more at currentincarmel.com

Philip Seymour Hoffman was the master of every role he ever played. He’d sink into his roles so deeply, we barely recognized him – even though his physique gave it away. Most of his body of work was in arthouse pictures. Most teen moviegoers have no idea who he was. And that’s exactly how he wanted it. Unfortunately, Hoffman died last week of a suspected heroin overdose and his demise leaves Current columnist Andy Ray wondering what the rest of his career would have looked like. How many more career-defining roles would he have graced us with? How many more Oscars would he have won? Read more at www. currentincarmel.com.

Jeremy Kashman, a 12-year veteran of civil engineering projects, is the new city engineer. Kashman takes over for the departing Mike McBride who is leaving the city to pursue his engineering career outside of government with Hanson Professional Services in Indianapolis. During his time with American Structurepoint, Kashman spent four years as a municipal contract employee for the Keystone Parkway Reconstruction Project, working directly with the mayor and city engineer.

Joint Chiropractic offers quick pop By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Feeling a little out of sorts but too busy to do anything about it? What if you could get a coming soon chiropractic adjustment in about the same amount of time it takes to get a cappuccino? That’s the aim of The Joint Chiropractic, and one is coming soon to the bustling Range Line Crossing Shopping Center in midtown Carmel. The Joint is a new and rapidly growing franchise concept created by John Leonesio, the former CEO of Massage Envy, which is a no-appointment-needed, quick-service massage chain. The 1300-square-foot facility is slated to open at the end of March on the south end of the plaza, next to Foot Finesse. Bree Ensweller of Brownsburg, along with two partners, will own and operate the Carmel location of The Joint. Ensweller currently owns two Massage Envy franchises - one in Avon and another in Plainfield. “We are excited about the Carmel location,” Ensweller said. “It’s such a vibrant and healthconscious community. And I really like that Earth Fare, which is all about healthy living, is the anchor of the plaza.” According to Ensweller, they are still working on securing permits and contractors, and have not yet hired the chiropractic staff, but they are hoping to eventually be open seven days a week.

The Joint Chiropractic plans to open a Carmel location in March. (Submitted photo)

“The Joint caters to today’s busy lifestyle,” he said. “Some locations have opened near a Starbucks and claim that you can order your coffee, come and get an adjustment and then go back and pick up your coffee and be on your way.” She estimates that the average visit will take 10 minutes, and the cost is fixed at $19. According to company representative Barbara Carrera Holland, The Joint currently has 442 locations open or nearly open in 28 states. Seven are in Indiana, including the recently opened location at Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville.

Children’s Librarian Holly Southern explains to students at College Wood Elementary School how they can access eBooks. (submitted photo)

Library introducing kids to eBooks By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com It’s no surprise that many young Carmel students own devices such as Kindles, iPads and laptops. And while many of education these kids use them to play games, surf the Internet and endlessly watch YouTube videos, they just need a little encouragement to realize that an entire world of information is at their fingertips. That’s where the friendly local librarian steps in. Carmel Clay Public Library has been working with schools to promote the use of eBooks from the library as an educational tool. These books offer students an opportunity to explore new worlds through the pages on their device. A few of eBooks’ perks are that no fines are involved, they are available at all hours of the day and they provide parents an opportunity to discuss safely using these devices. “From the library’s perspective, we are thrilled to work with the schools on this,” library spokeswoman Beth Jenneman said The library has focused its outreach efforts on third-, fourth- and fifth-graders by offering presentations in the schools to teach students how to use their devices for educational purposes

and accessing eBooks. These presentations have offered students a chance to bring their own devices to school, learn how to access the browser OverDrive READ, navigate that browser and download free books. The librarians use the students’ media center time to offer an extra set of hands and the expertise needed to help the media specialists promote this high-tech reading advancement. “They love knowing they can read on their device,” said Denise Dragash, a Carmel schools media specialist about her students’ reactions to the free eBooks. And for its second act, the library staff is taking requests. “We want to get the word out as much as possible. It’s a great resource, and people love it,” Jenneman said. “We want to always expand our collection and could use suggestions and demand. We try to be responsive and have always taken suggestions.” But overall, the eBooks have generated a positive response from young readers. The evidence is in the increasing number of checkouts based on the latest library’s circulation numbers. To begin checking out books, visit carmel.lib. overdrive.com.

Students work to clear sidewalks Commentary by Jeff Worrell

During the last snow storm of Feb. 4, it seemed like life returned to normal pretty quickly. I would credit the hard-working and effective Carmel Street VOlunteerism Department. Many Carmel businesses including mine, were pleasantly surprised to be able to open the following day, avoiding yet another lost revenue day. Across the city once again, neighbors were helping neighbors. In the eastside Brookshire Lakes neighborhood, Judy Gilday reported that the mail carrier’s truck became stuck during his attempt to deliver the mail as promised, regardless of the weather conditions. Fortunately for the letter carrier, six Brookshire Lakes neighbors came to the rescue and not only freed the vehicle, but then proceeded to fan out and help deliver the mail. With all of the snow produced so far this winter, the Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council spotted a problem which they decided deserved action. Their latest project called “Say No To Snow” assists their fellow students by helping them to get safely to school when snow is a factor. The council, which is made up of high school students, identified two issues surrounding their school building and winter weather and decided to solve both. The first is that when a snow plow clears

the road, the snow has to go somewhere. That somewhere is the sidewalk. While this ordinarily may not be a huge problem, it becomes an issue when there are students walking to school from the surrounding homes. The council members observed that the many students who were taking to the streets surrounding Carmel High School were utilizing an unsafe alternative. The second problem they identified is that many of the surrounding homes were occupied by older residents who may not be able to get out to clear the walkways. So George Gemelas and Neil Shaw became the project managers for “Say No To Snow.” Neil said, “We see this as a community enhancement project. By working with each homeowner in an identified area around CHS, we can generate the manpower to clear their walk if they so choose.” The council has partnered with Carmel High School Key Club using an intricate system of web-based alerts and reminders in the days leading up to a storm to get manpower committed and in place to attack as soon as it is safe. If you live near CHS and would like to learn more, contact cmyc.saynotosnow@gmail.com.

A Hamilton County Internet startup company is hoping customers forgo the hassle of finding a Valentine’s Day bouquet at their local florist and instead look for a more modern business idea – a live, blooming plant that can be ordered online and delivered to their door. “The goal is to bring the floral industry into the 21st century,” said Robb Greene, founder of epottingshed.com. Greene’s family has operated a floral company in Noblesville since 1987. Operating out of the green Victorian carriage house next to Noblesville’s City Hall, Greene has just expanded on the family tradition. Greene started the company a year ago using bare-root plants shipped in weekly from select growers around the country. From there, he pots them in organic soil with decorative pots and bundles them in a unique form of packaging that has never failed to protect the live, blooming plants inside. “We tell people that we encourage them to ship (the plants) to a business location,” Greene said, so the plant isn’t exposed to temperatures outside the company’s control. The company’s most popular selections are a unique and fragrant form of lavender and ornamental oregano plants that are popular with craft brewing people because they’re hardy to

Indiana and resemble hop plants. The plant’s cost averages about $50 plus shipping. So far, the company has grown mainly through strong word of mouth, as plant recipients become buying customers. Greene estimates that about 60 percent of his customers are in central Indiana. With few competitors, Greene also is seeing national growth. He said he attributes his success to superior packing and presentation. “When you first open an epottingshed.com box, you will be blown away by the experience

and attention to detail. Part of the joy of flowers is their packaging,” he said. “It’s just as special as the beautiful plant inside.” Greene said he expects the business to grow once he undertakes a new social media advertising campaign. He’s also considering utilizing Pinterest and online video to capitalize on his product’s visual appeal before he even considers moving out of the family business location. “We kind of want to show that we’re doing it better than anyone else before we think about a bricks-and-mortar location,” he said.

Local racers enjoy Olympic sport By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com In the land of Hoosier Hysteria where the game of basketball rules, one Carmel family is bucking the trend by speed skating their way to good health. health “I grew up speed skating in St. Louis. We used to buy our skates at the local hardware store. My grandfather and my father taught me to skate,” said Carmel resident Robin Wachtel, 52, on her introduction to the sport. Wachtel and her daughter Caroline were watching the 2006 Olympics when her daughter asked if they could try the sport of speed skating. “Who knew there was a club in Indianapolis?” she said. “We went to the “try speed skating” clinic presented by Indy Speed and really enjoyed it.” As the only speed skater at Carmel High School, Caroline participated in nationals twice, placing eighth both times. But when confronted with the thought of dedicating her life to training for the Olympics, she decided that the lifestyle was not for her, leaving her mother to train on her own. In September 2012, Wachtel’s training hit a serious setback when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease. “So I was training and learning how to manage my health at the same time. As I figured out what to eat to manage my disease I kept getting stronger and stronger.” So strong that she won a bronze medal at the 2013 Long Track Nationals in Milwaukee for

her age group. “I was ecstatic and exhausted,” she said after her finish. “Five years ago I was 30 pounds heavier and completely sedentary. I started with walking to the mailbox and bowling.” Now she trains by doing pilates, yoga, road cycling and speed skates for leisure - although she won’t rule out competing in the future. “I don’t want to be this sick person, I want to be successful.” For more information on speed skating opportunities locally visit www.indyspeed.org.

Blaze Pizza opening near Meijer By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Carmel residents hopefully will have another quick lunch option later this year when Blaze Pizza opens up shop at coming soon 12697 Pennsylvania St., in the Meijer Outlet Shops. The first Blaze Pizza in Indiana is scheduled to open on the IUPUI campus later this month. What makes Blaze Pizza different from every other pizza joint we have in town already? Blaze Pizza calls itself a “build-your-ownartisan-pizza” restaurant — in other words, the “Chipotle” of pizza. It invites guests to “co-create” their own work of art by traveling down an assembly line to craft an individual 11-inch pizza to exactly their own specifications, choosing from more than 40 artisanal toppings. The toppings include unique, chef-driven choices such as roasted garlic, caramelized onions, meatballs shipped in from New York and vegan cheese. The pizza is then fired in a 600 to 800 degree oven and is ready in three minutes. Another thing that sets Blaze Pizza apart is the cost — even if you choose more toppings than your crust can reasonably hold, the price is, at most, $6.95 (less for plain cheese or one-topping pizzas; slightly more for a gluten-free crust). The owners are currently in the process of securing building permits and hope to be open before the end of the year.

Blaze Pizza is a Los Angeles-based company, and franchisee Blaze Midwest plans to open six to eight stores in the greater Indianapolis area in the coming years, according to Marketing Director Darla Bowen. The menu also features signature salads, fresh lemonade and house-made s’more pie. Although some locations offer beer and wine, there is currently no plan to do so in the Carmel store. “We are very excited about the greater Indianapolis market,” said Blaze Midwest President Rodney Walker. “We are looking forward to bringing our fast-casual pizza concept to Indiana and the Midwest.”

Kolache Factory rolls into town By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com You might not have heard of a kolache, but one bite and you’re sure to be hooked on the soft pillows of pastry stuffed now open with anything from meat and cheese to fruit. And Cheryl and Scott Early are bringing the taste sensation to Carmel. The Kolache Factory store at 116th Street and Guilford Road will open Feb. 12. “I have enjoyed kolaches for at least six years at the Fishers location. It used to be the place I would stop on my way into Castleton in the mornings,” Cheryl said. “One day I heard about a franchise opportunity, and it seemed to be a good time.“I am also hoping to do more customer relationship interaction,” she said. “One of the things we do is take the product to 5K runs and other marketing opportunities and have a presence.” So, what, exactly, is a kolache? “It’s dough stuffed with sweet or savory items – like a handheld sandwich, but fully covered,” Cheryl said. “The inside ranges from, say, eggs, cheese and bacon or jalapeno cheese, or the sweet ones that are fruit-filled but with an open top that looks like a Danish. We also have stuffed croissants. They are basically a bakery item that is a breakfast or lunch item on the go.” For Cheryl, the shop will be like having a piece of home.

Kolaches are dough stuffed with fruit or meat. (Submitted photo)

“My mom is Polish, so I had them growing up – but those were sweet rolls with nuts or apricots so I was expecting that this is more of a variant on that,” she said. “They are just interesting and great to have on the go.” The Kolache Factory was founded in 1982 in Houston. The Carmel store will be the company’s 25th location, with 10 more set to open in the next several months across the nation. The Carmel location will boast 2,000 square feet and will be open 364 days a year, closed only on Christmas. In addition to the 30 to 40 different varieties of kolaches, the shop will have cinnamon rolls, strudels and sticky buns. And, unlike the Fishers location, it will boast a full-service espresso service.

Let’s Pretend Players starts training young actors By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com It was a need to get back to her acting roots and find a creative outlet for her young daughter that led Rachael Weyers to start Let’s Pretend Players last year. business The company offers acting classes for children that aren’t performance-based but rather focus on building confidence and self-esteem. “This is a passion for me. I feel that kids really need – especially in this day and age – to be empowered to have a voice,” Weyers said. “They need to work on self-esteem and being confident in who they are, and I think acting classes help to build that self confidence and creativity. Schools aren’t able to provide kids with an opportunity to play and be creative any longer because they really don’t have the time to do that and - in just being a parent - I really saw the need for that, for that play.” Weyers has an extensive background in acting. She graduated from Ball State University with a degree in Television and Radio Broadcasting. Her acting training continued in Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland, Ore. From 2003 to 2008 Weyers worked in an ensemble doing improvisational comedy murder mysteries. In 2006, she began teaching acting to kids and worked for a company that provided after-school enrichment programs throughout the Portland Public School District.

“I am taking what I learned for myself as an actor and then using what I learned in the classroom to teach and pass on to kids now,” she said. While the six-week course doesn’t include a full-blown production, Weyers said there is a mini-performance during the last class. The children choose the activities they want to showcase and do a short scripted “play.” “The concept really is showing them the different tools of acting. One week we will work on vocals – projecting and articulating words – and then the next week maybe work on the physicality of a character – how you can be a character through your physical motions,” she said. “There are a lot of games and activities that work on

The Carmel High School girls swimming and diving team has won 27 consecutive state championships. If the team wins another championship at the state finals Feb. 15, it will become the winningest high school program in the country’s history – regardless of sport or gender. (Photo by Sara Crawford)

Carmel’s swimming and diving teams seeks to keep championship streak alive and build a lasting high school sports legacy By Abby Walton • news@currentincarmel.com In 1986 a group of girls at Carmel High School won the state championship in swimming. Besides winning a state title, that team began something that would later be known as “the streak.” “You definitely realize you’re working towards something that’s bigger than yourself. I wasn’t even born when the streak began, but I’m proud to be a part of its legacy,” said Hanna House, a senior on the Carmel swimming and diving team. The legacy she is talking about is a string of 27 consecutive state championships in girls swimming. If the team wins another championship at the state finals Feb. 15, the team will become the winningest high school program in the country’s history – regardless of sport or gender. As a former competitive swimmer, Carmel Head Coach Chris Plumb knew that becoming the girls’ swim coach was a special opportunity. “It’s definitely one of the top club and high school jobs in the country,” he said.

Eye on the Olympics That’s because not only are these girls working toward continuing the streak, they’re also working toward much bigger goals. “These girls are also focusing on national competitions and even

the Olympic trials,” he said. One of those girls is House, who’s been swimming competitively since she was a child and made the cut to attend the Olympic trials last year. “I definitely have plans to try for it again in 2016,” House said. Until then, she said she’s focused on making this last trip to the big meet. “It’s exciting to go to practice. Every girl works hard and we push each other to be the best,” House said.

Getting better every year With the expectation of a state championship, plus bigger dreams of swimming on the national stage, people might think that swimming for CHS is stressful. However, House said that’s not the case. “Honestly, we really don’t feel any outside pressure to win. There’s a lot of competition within the team and we push each other to be the best,” she said. Coach Plumb said that even with the high expectations that surround them, each win or honor is just a testament to the girls’ work ethic. “It’s really a special feeling to help them do more than they ever thought they could accomplish,” he said. And with each passing year, both Plumb and House said it

seems the team gets stronger as a new crop of girls arrives, eager to make their mark on the team. “It seems like our team gets better every year. We have some amazing freshmen this year. Everyone works so hard and even though not everyone will get to swim postseason, I know those girls will still be there, cheering the rest of the team on,” she said.

‘Becoming better as a team’ House admits it’s fun to win, but she said for her and the other girls, swimming at this level is about something more. “It teaches you a lot of life lessons like self-discipline and teamwork,” she said. House said it’s those things she and her teammates will take away from their years of high school swimming. “We all realize that the streak will break at some point because everything eventually gets broken, but we really don’t think about that. We’re not focused on other people, we are focused on ourselves and becoming better as a team,” she said. It’s this commitment to the sport that sends many of these girls on to swim in college, including House, who will be swimming next year for the University of Notre Dame. For 27 years the program has built a tradition of excellence. And all year long, hundreds of girls have been working together for a common goal – to be the best.

Carmel diver overcomes inexperience, vertigo to try to become one of state’s best By Abby Walton • news@currentincarmel.com Laura Rokop’s life has literally been full of twists and turns. “I trained for about 14 years as a gymnast,” she said. But when it came time for Rokop to enter high school, she decided it was time to give the balance beam a break. “Carmel cut the gymnastics program before I got to high school, so I knew that wasn’t an option. I also wanted to be involved in more clubs and try a different sport,” she said. As a former gymnast, Rokop said there were only three sports where her skills on the mat would transfer over. “I could either become a cheerleader, a pole vaulter or a diver,” she said. “I had a friend who was going to be on the boys’ diving team that year, and he convinced me to go to try out.”

‘A gut feeling about her’ Chad Trenshaw, Carmel High School diving coach, remembers what Rokop was like early on. “She almost didn’t make the cut,” he said. In order to help them try to make the team, Trenshaw gives kids a few weeks to learn the dives they need to compete at the varsity level. “Laura had never dived before. Her gymnastics background did help her, but at the cutoff point, she didn’t have the required dives down to qualify for a meet. However, I had a gut feeling about her. I felt that if we worked with her, she could become a really good diver,” Trenshaw said.

‘I fought through it’ That gut feeling definitely panned out. Now a senior at CHS, Rokop has made a name for herself not only in Indiana but across the country. She’s made top four in sectionals every year, made regionals three years in a row and is working on making her fourth. She also made the state finals last year, placing 11th in individual competition. Rokop said she was proud of her ranking, seeing as just days earlier she’d been diagnosed with vertigo. “A day before sectionals I didn’t feel good. My body felt strange,” she said. Even after being diagnosed with this dizzying medical condition, she decided to go ahead and dive because she wanted to make it to the state finals. “Those last few dives at regionals were scary and probably a little dangerous because I felt like I had no control over

my body,” she said. “However, I knew my coach would pull me if he thought it would be too much. So I fought through it and made it to state. So it was definitely worth it.”

‘Push past your fears’ With the postseason ahead of her, Rokop said she’s gearing up hopefully for another shot at the state finals. “My goal is to make it into the top eight,” she said. While she was qualifying for state finals and breaking school records, Trenshaw said it’s been amazing to work with her these past four years. “Laura has been competing with kids who’ve been diving for years, and she’s always right on their heels,” he said. And as her high school dive career comes to a close, Rokop is looking towards the future. Having never really considered diving in college until last year, this former gymnast is now being recruited by some of the nation’s top schools. Not bad for a girl who first dove off a diving board four years ago. “I love the mental challenge of diving. It makes you push past your fears,” she said.

The Downton Abbey event on Jan. 29 marked the first in a series of celebrations to benefit the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation, according to Director Ruth Nisenthal. Jessica Fellowes, best-selling author of the companion books to the incredibly popular British television series “Downton Abbey,” was invited as a speaker for this event. Fellowes, who is also the niece of Julian Fellowes, the creator and writer of the TV series, is intimately knowledgeable about the show’s background, setting, creation and characters. She shared many behindthe-scenes anecdotes with the audience, as she does in her popular books. She said she will begin her third book about the series when she finishes the current tour. Before the main presentation, Fellowes joined guests in the Palladium’s VIP area, where she answered questions, posed for pictures and signed books for nearly two hours. The VIP party featured catering from Sullivan’s Steakhouse and a piano performance by Sally Applegate-Rodeman. The party’s theme was Edwardian period dress and food in the manner of “Downton Abbey.” Character actors Samantha Hyde and Priscilla Ball dressed as maids and whimsically dusted everything – including guests! Models September Breshnahan and Nicole English emulated the look of the period’s aristocratic ladies, wearing diamonds provided by Tiffany & Co. and gowns from Saks Fifth Avenue. Many partygoers dressed in Edwardian period attire, including Terry Coyle, Jeff and Tammy Butts, and 50-year Carmel residents George and Charlene Rupp. VIP guests included, among many others, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and wife Liz, Peter Reist, Brian and Ann Poindexter, Geri Fritsche, Jim and Joyce Winner, Terry and Carolyn Anker, Janet Waller, and Carole Ash. Donations for the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation may be made by contacting Foundation Director Ruth Nisenthal at 814-3905 or rnisenthal@carmel.lib.in.us. ••• 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.

FR O M   T H E BACKSHOP Good call by safety committee Carmel City Council is getting the BB gun measure back, but it’s being returned with a wise unfavorable recommendation on banning use of the guns. For years we’re heard that old saw, “Guns don’t kill people; people kill people.” Considered trite in some corners, we view it as absolutely on the mark. The responsibility for safety resides with the gun owner, whether he or she is packing BBs or deer slugs. In this case the Carmel Utilities, Transportation and Safety Committee found the rule too restrictive. It’s all borne of a number of complaints about BB gun owners jeopardizing the safety of others. Putting others at risk is just plain – Oh, how do we label this? – frickin’ idiotic! If you own a firearm and are not educated on its use, we find that shameful. The Second Amendment protects our right to bear arms, but it doesn’t guarantee immunity in cases of unfettered stupidity. Kudos to the committee for its vote. Here’s to council seconding that emotion. ••• It’s a small one, but here’s another reason why your tax dollars will be at peril with an investment in mass transit. The communications folks at IndyGo warned folks in a press release last week that, in the event of snow, we should allow for extra travel time to and from our destination; plan for delays due to icy streets, heavy snowfall and traffic congestion; watch our footing as snow and ice can make sidewalks, steps and bus floors slippery; hold onto the railing when boarding and alighting; and dress warmly for potentially longer wait times at bus stops. Wow. You can’t make up this stuff. ••• In observance of Presidents’ Day on Feb. 17, the United States Postal Service will be closed.

FR O M   T H E EDITOR Is a principled stand worth the cost?

Failing infallibility

Commentary by Terry Anker

There are few things that frustrate us more than making mistakes, especially big mistakes. Not only do they point towards our own fallibility but they also remind us to slow down and pay attention to the details of what we do. To be sure, there is a distinction between culpability for one’s own actions and an unpreventable error resulting from circumstance. And, the space between the two is often difficult to measure. Yet, we know when we have failed through our own folly. Recently, I led the charge in insulting an important partner and embarrassing myself proving that I’m failing infallibility. Not as attentive as I should have been to the bulk of e-mail and other communications that shower us each day, I misinterpreted an important message and took action without confirming the veracity of my understanding. Ultimately, I ended up embarrassing the truly good person while at the same time making an ass of myself. Kudos for multitasking! By the time the error was discovered, harm

had been caused and the opportunity to fix the transgression had passed. Certainly, the victim of my actions was magnanimous and thoughtful (in a way that I’m not sure I would have been mature enough to be); but, the frustration over the error hangs with me. How many mistakes do we make that go unrecognized? How many opportunities do we miss to do the right thing? How many people are harmed in silence? Many of us glide through life with rare repercussion for our own error. We are insulated from failure either by previous success or by personal advantage. Yet so many, unsheltered by accumulated goodwill, live in peril of a single transgression. When we imagine ourselves to hardly stumble in a gaffe, is it more likely that we seldom are held to account for our actions? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E   O F  T H E   W E E K The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.

- Theodore Roosevelt

I have attended enough public meetings in my life to run into a common occurrence – the point at which politicians must decide to stand by a principle or act in a matter that best protects the pocketbooks of their constituents. There are two such conflicts going on right now on the local level and at the statehouse. At the statehouse, the House passed HB 1351, of which Rep. Steve Braun is a co-author. Braun, a Republican, represents a portion of West Carmel. This bill requires that any food stamp recipients purchase food and drinks that pass certain nutritional standards approved by the state. It also requires anyone who participates in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to undergo drug testing. Sound like good principles that you could get behind? The issue is that this approach has been tried before. When a similar law was enacted and enforced for two years in Florida, the result was that less than 3 percent of recipients tested positive for drugs - mostly for marijuana. And according to the Miami Herald, in its first year the state ended up losing about $46,000 more than it saved in rooting out the fraudulent drugabusers because it had to reimburse people who didn’t use drugs for the cost of the testing. A U.S. judge struck down the law on Dec. 31 saying that it violated the constitutional protection against unreasonable searches. Locally, the Carmel City Council is working to determine the best way to pay for a new stormwater utility. At a committee meeting Feb. 6 it heard arguments that Carmel residents should all be charged a flat $4.95 fee to manage the city’s stormwater runoff. The alternative would be assessing each residential property individually for impermeable services – and also planning to update those assessments on a regular basis – to try and spread the costs more equitably. Commercial properties, schools and churches would be assessed manually in either instance. But the costs of administering the most equitable solution would subtract a significant amount of the new utility’s revenue to nonstormwater purposes. The “socialist” alternative would have almost no additional administrative costs. So I guess the real question is, how much are the principles worth?

READERS’ VIEWS Columnist uses half-truths to mislead

F E B R UA RY

Editor, In John Accetturo’s opinion piece titled, “Political inconsistency should inspire public reaction,” he encourages the public to react; so I will. The premise of his piece is that politicians can say whatever they want and do something else with little to no consequence from the citizenry. He gave several examples, but the one that caught my eye related to Carmel’s use of residential property taxes for redevelopment. Accetturo and I disagree that residential property taxes are being used. Plain and simple. But, I do not accept his assertion that because of my belief, I am wrong and he is right. Facts prove not one cent of residential property taxes has been spent for Carmel redevelopment. Only TIF (taxes from business property) has been used.

22 Heart disease is the number one killer of women, but do you know why? You are invited to join Community Physician Network cardiologist Nanette Oscherwitz, MD, for a special seminar on women and heart health. Heart disease affects women differently than it does men, with signs and symptoms that go beyond typical chest pain. Don’t miss this chance to learn: • Risk factors for heart disease • Signs and symptoms of heart disease in women • How to manage stress for a healthier heart • How to exercise for a healthy heart • What heart screenings are available and are they right for you

However, in financing redevelopment debt, residential property taxes have been pledged but never used, in order to obtain a lower interest rate because of Carmel’s financial success. Significant dollars are being saved by using this smart financial strategy which works to the benefit of the taxpayer. But without a sense of fair play from Accetturo, the public is led to believe residential property taxes have been spent. Just as damaging as a politician who says one thing and does another, is the critic who tries to spin public opinion with half-truths and misinformation to support a specific agenda. As a politician himself, Accetturo has just proved this point. Jeff Worrell, 46033

Public benefits require public dollars Editor, If you aren’t against mass transit then how do you propose it be built if not with some public funding? It seems to me some vital areas of public life need to be supported through public funding (e.g., fire departments, highways, education and defense). It might be pointed out that our nation’s railroads needed public funding and

that we might never have made it to the moon without NASA. Not all private enterprises serve us well. Healthcare costs continue to skyrocket with private hospitals and private insurance companies taking the lead. For our long-term economic benefit and to avoid mass gridlock, we need to support mass transit. Dennis Shock, 46033

READERS’ VIEWS Enough is enough on time debate Editor, For the fourth year in a row State Sen. David Long has sandbagged time zone resolutions by assigning them to his committee and then not giving them a hearing. What issues do he and other legislative leaders want kept from public scrutiny? Is it exposure of the myth about Eastern Time’s benefits to Indiana businesses? Possibly the realities of how unsafe it is for Indiana’s 850,000 Eastern Time students when the public learns the details about students being killed, assaulted, robbed and seriously injured while traveling to school in the dark. How about hearing of the hardships that 800,000 Hoosiers have to contend with on a daily basis because of the time zone boundary that divides 18 Indiana counties? Or maybe testimony from Indiana’s 90,000 construction workers and Indiana’s family farmers about how Eastern Time’s sunlight schedule delays their workday and causes unnecessary hardships for them and their families? What about

the inconveniences to millions of Indiana’s sports fans caused by the lateness of nationally broadcast events? Can they risk having taxpayers learn about the exorbitant amounts of money allocated for education that are being wasted by school delays caused by Eastern Time’s sunlight schedule ($71 million so far this year). What would happen if businesses caught on to how much school delays are costing them in cancelled appointments, meetings, etc.? In January a petition for the redress of eighteen specific grievances was filed with the General Assembly by the Central Time Coalition and supported by signed petitions of 25,000 Hoosiers and 47 school districts. Is this the year that legislators finally tell their leaders “enough is enough” and appoint a study committee to conduct a fair and thorough evaluation of these issues? We hope so because these issues affect all Hoosiers. More information is available at www.hoosiersforcentraltime.com Susannah Dillon, 46032

Hobby Lobby needs alternative plan Editor, In regards to Hobby Lobby’s CEO’s threat to shutter his business if he is required to provide contraception to his employees: I hope he doesn’t close. But if he doesn’t want to include these medicines in his company’s employees’ health benefits, I think he should have the option to agree to pay for ALL out-of-pocket, pregnancyrelated expenses, including pay during a maternity leave, and to allow more sick days per child a woman has (because we all know kids get sick and parents have to take time off work) while she works for that company. Also, the woman’s job should be secure during her pregnancy and maternity leave (except for justifiable terminations). If companies agree to this, they should be exempt from providing birth control. I understand religious beliefs and rights, but if you aren’t willing to provide the necessary benefits and support to women who get pregnant, you are hypocritical. I also think that if you are yelling and screaming to end abortion, you also better be fostering or adopting kids. If not, you are hypocritical. You can’t say you don’t have the time or money to foster or adopt a child, but then expect those who become pregnant unexpectedly to raise their own children if they feel they can’t do so appropriately. If you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Even Christians find themselves pregnant when they don’t intend to be. It is going to happen. We have all kinds of charities and government programs that help moms feed and clothe their babies and young kids, but those kids are forgotten as they mature. I don’t like a doctrine that worries only about babies, but not children until they graduate from school. Why don’t we see these same people screaming for more services for teens and at-risk youth and pouring money into neigh-

borhoods that house large numbers of these at-risk youth, rather than only into campaigns to end abortion (which I think is an absolutely horrible option, by the way)? I’ve worked in the inner cities as a teacher in New Orleans and Indy. I’ve worked at a homeless agency in downtown Indy. I’ve seen the absolute misery and abuse of some children who live in poverty or come from homes where it is obvious the adults should never have become parents. Seeing these children’s abuse, neglect and suffering is beyond heartbreaking. I wouldn’t want an animal to suffer the way these kids do. So I have to wonder, if given the choice, would I rather they had not been born or have them endure the horrid suffering and miserable “life sentence” they will experience while on Earth (and the likely misery they will also pass on to their children or others if they turn to crime)? I’m not sure. I frown on abortion if used in lieu of birth control, but I don’t want to force a person who knows she can’t properly care for, or who doesn’t want, a child to have to do so. Yes, we can all agree that these women shouldn’t be getting pregnant in the first place, but it’s going to happen. That’s a reality and a moot point to argue. This whole debate is a fight over a small pill, but it really has much bigger implications that no one seems to talk about. I agree it isn’t fair to have to choose between your beliefs or your business, and companies shouldn’t have to as long as, either way, they are being responsible to their employees – such companies should be allowed to offer alternative coverage to women if they don’t want to cover birth control due to religious reasons for opposing it. They shouldn’t be able to just opt out and offer their employees no other options. Karin Park, 46032

I was talking with some fellow working moms (WMs) the other night, and I heard a story that got me so fired up I’m writing a humor column about it. Read on and be appalled. WM was feeling guilty about not spending enough time with her children and decided to take a day off to simply play with her kids. They’d sleep in, go to Starbucks and “pretend” to work on laptops while they sipped coffee and hot chocolate, ate a fun lunch out, and then maybe saw a movie or went bowling. They’d talk, laugh, hug and create beautiful memories. More importantly, WM would assuage her guilt and all would be right in the world. But of course everyone was grumpy the morning of the much-anticipated Bonding Day, and no one really wanted to get dressed and go out. But, chillin’ at the coffee shop was on the schedule, so WM plowed ahead. An hour later, after her sugar-crazed rugrats had completely ignored multiple harshly whispered pleas to calm the frick down, she decided to cut her losses and pack up. Better luck at Stop No. 2. Here’s where it got interesting. Another patron, a woman mind you, had the nerve to criticize her parenting as she was leaving. To. Her. Face. I know! Instead of empathizing with a “Don’t worry about it, honey, we’ve all been there,” or even better, offering a “Can I help you?”

Ms. High-and-Mighty touted her Christian beliefs and suggested that maybe WM should have just stayed home. Can you believe that? I just want to punch her! WM ended her morning crying in the car and feeling even guiltier than before. Way to go, lady. We’ve all witnessed our kid meltdowns in a nice restaurant or the checkout aisle at Meijer, but who in her right mind actually says something when she sees the chaos unfolding? And I’m sure this woman thought she understood the situation perfectly, and that she was doing her good deed for the day, but all that hag managed was to ladle a huge helping of guilt on WM, who was already beyond frustrated and disappointed. Admittedly, I judge other moms all the time, but I would never express it out loud for two reasons: I’m the blackest pot on the stove and karma’s a (rhymes with itch). Listen, people: Being a mom is tough, and working moms constantly struggle to find a good balance between career and home. Please don’t add to the scales by dishing out unsolicited advice. Instead, try putting yourself in her position and remember how challenging parenting can be. A few kind words in solidarity can make all the difference, particularly to WMs. Peace out.

The Bahia Orchestra Project from Brazil has committed to playing Latin-American compositions in its repertoire. (Submitted photo)

Brazil’s best orchestra to team with French pianist By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com As an example of what music can do for poor kids, Venezuela’s El Sistema has inspired many other musical education programs Music around the world with social purposes behind them. Its Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra brought to prominence conductor Gustavo Dudamel, now music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. One of the fruits of El Sistema’s success is NEOJIBA/the Bahia Orchestra Project, which sits atop a similar pyramid of musical training in the Brazilian state of Bahia. Conducted by its founder, pianist Ricardo Castro, the 100-member youth orchestra, established in 2007, will be near the end of a two-and-half-week North American tour when it appears at the Palladium. But to build the orchestra, Castro had to sacrifice a promising European piano career – which he says he doesn’t miss. “My life is so more interesting now that the quality of my presence on stage has never been so high,” he said. The Bahia Orchestra Project is already known in Europe, having played concerts in Berlin, Lucerne and London (where its featured guest artist was superstar pianist Lang Lang). For its Carmel appearance, it will welcome another well regarded, if not quite as famous, pianist as soloist - Jean-Yves Thibaudet. He’s a native of France now living and performing in the U.S. Thibaudet will be featured in Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major. That’s one of two piano showcases on the program. By special

French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet will be the guest soloist during the collaborative performance at the Palladium.

request of Center for the Performing Arts management, the Bahia ensemble will also play George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” with Castro as soloist. Center spokesman John Hughey said the request was made to highlight the location of the Feinstein Initiative and its Great American Songbook vocal competition at the Palladium, and because Gershwin is considered among the greatest American songwriters. Other works on the Palladium program are Peter Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet FantasyOverture, two movements from Heitor VillaLobos’ “Bachianas Brasileira” No. 2 and Arturo Marquez’s “Danzon 2.” The latter two works — by Brazilian and Mexican composers, respectively — represent the Bahia Orchestra Project’s commitment to LatinAmerican repertoire. “The mixture is a sign of overture to all cul-

tural influences and richness we advocate at NEOJIBA,” Castro said. “A symphony orchestra is such a tool to approach different epochs and styles that the possibilites are endless. The repertoire we play today is made by works that allowed our orchestra to show its capabilities, having a great stage experience at the same time. With this mixture we are building more complete humans but also our strength, versatility and reputation.” Bahia is a historically significant part of eastern Brazil, with geographical diversity crowned by a famous 685-mile coastline. It’s one of 26 Brazilian states and its largest city, Salvador, was established in 1599 and became the country’s historical capital. Two important cultural traditions of Brazil — the carnival and the samba — originated there. “An important politician in Bahia heard about (El Sistema) and called me to implement the same in our state,” Castro said. “The idea that music can be an instrument of social change without loosing the quality modified the way we see our profession. El Sistema creates a new profession as our kids are not only good performers looking for a job in a professional orchestra as soon as they can, but musicians growing collectively and thinking collectively on how to include more and more kids.” Bahia Orchestra Project • Brazilian youth orchestra, conducted by Ricardo Castro; with piano soloist Jean-Yves Thibaudet • 7:30 p.m. Feb. 13 • The Palladium in Carmel • Tickets start at $40. • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

PRESENTS

Feinstein plays tribute to Gershwin By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com This time of year, we all struggle to come up with a mushy and endearing sentiment to add to the Valentine’s prose on the card Music Hallmark has already written for us. Often, we end up adding something devastatingly clever, like, “Love, me.” Don’t you wish you could come up with something like this? I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh … The world will pardon my mush ‘Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you. Nobody expresses love quite like George Gershwin and nothing could be more romantic than sitting and listening to a glorious evening of his music sung by the inimitable Michael Feinstein. Feinstein’s “Gershwins and Me” will be presented at the Palladium on Feb. 16. It will be an evening of songs and stories presented the way only Feinstein can. When he was 20, Feinstein was hired by George Gershwin’s brother, Ira, as an archivist. He wrote a book about those years entitled, “The Gershwins and Me; a Personal History in Twelve Songs.” Feinstein will sing songs from the Gershwin songbook interspersed with tales from the book. He also will share the stage with the winner of 2013’s Great American Songbook Competition, Julia Goodwin, who recently performed with him

Michael Feinstein will perform the works of George Gershwin on Feb. 16 at the Palladium with the help of Julie Goodwin, the winner of 2013’s Great American Songbook Competition. (Submitted photo)

at the legendary New York jazz club Birdland. “I have read Michael’s book and cannot wait to hear these stories in person,” said John Hughey, director of external relations for the Center for the Performing Arts. “It’s going to be a beautiful tribute to the Gershwins. We all adore Michael for his musical talents, but he’s an amazing writer and storyteller, too. No one other than Michael could share these stories. He lives and breathes American music and makes us proud of our history as he brings these songs to life.” Forget the chocolates. Take your Valentine to an evening he or she will remember forever. Feinstein’s “The Gershwins and Me” • 7 p.m. Feb. 16 • The Palladium in Carmel • Tickets start at $15. • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Whether people are trying to lose weight or want to prevent weight gain, metabolism is usually part of the discusnutrition sion. The speed at which the body burns calories – called “metabolic rate” – is different for everyone and is based on a variety of factors, including age, gender and genetics. Patients often ask what they can do to boost their metabolic rate. Here are a few suggestions: Build muscle and stay active – The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate – even at rest. In fact, every pound of muscle burns six calories each day, while fat burns just two. Exercise, especially high-intensity aerobic exercise, can increase metabolism in the hours following a workout. Eat more often – Having small meals or snacks every three to four hours keeps your metabolism up and running. Drink water – Your body needs water to use calories, so even mild dehydration can slow metabolism. Drinking a glass of water or an unsweetened beverage before meals helps. Increase protein – It takes more calories to digest protein than to digest fat or carbohy-

drates. Although eating a balanced diet is important, choosing more servings of healthy proteins, such as turkey, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, white chicken meat, lean beef and tofu, can increase metabolism. Choose green tea – The combined benefits of caffeine and catechins in green or oolong tea can boost metabolism for a couple of hours and may help your body burn more calories during moderate exercise. Add some spice – Believe it or not, spicy foods have benefits when it comes to increasing metabolism. Although their effect is temporary, if you eat spicy foods often, the benefit could add up. Consider adding chopped red or green peppers or red pepper flakes to foods. Diet sensibly – Very low-calorie diets can stall metabolism. You may lose weight, but much of this is likely muscle, which will slow your metabolism in the long run. Plus, very low-calorie diets often mean you aren’t getting the nutrition you need for optimal health. Talk to your doctor about a diet plan that’s right for you.

Time to organize for tax season Commentary by Adam Cmejla I’m sure certified public accountants out there will appreciate this, but the more proactive you are in gathering your tax docufinance ments, the easier your return can be prepared and filed. For some, this can mean a faster refund. Those of us who will pay can rest assured that we can still wait to drop our check into the mail until April 15. Look back before looking forward One of the best things to do when preparing to file 2013 taxes is to look at your 2012 return and determine if there have been many changes. A CPA firm we work with even sends out a “tax prep worksheet” that has information from 2012’s return already populated. Chances are good that things haven’t changed too drastically for you from year to year, so this can help you remember which IRS forms, schedules and reporting documents to gather. What documents are needed? It’s a good idea to have a big envelope or file folder on your desk that you can drop documents into as they arrive in the mail. If you are not a small business owner or independent contractor, your list may be short: W-2(s), 1099-INT(s), perhaps 1099-DIV(s) or 1099-B(s), Form 1098 (mortgage), a 1098-E(s) if you have those wonder-

ful student loans, and Form 5498-SA if you have made HSA contributions (including employer contributions). If you are an independent contractor or freelancer, you will need your 1099-MISC(s). This is also when self-employed business owners should compile every bit of documentation related to business expenses: meals and entertainment, travel, office expenses, mileage, etc. Every dollar spent in the business has the potential to reduce your taxable income, thus your tax liability. Use this time to prepare for 2014 With the changes in the tax law that took effect in 2013, this year’s tax season has the potential to be more unpleasant than previous years for some. This is also a great time to sit with your advisor and plan a strategy for 2014. The phrase “asset location” is going to be ever more important in the current tax environment. Remember, being proactive is always more costefficient than being reactive when it pertains to your overall net worth. Adam Cmejla is president of Integrated Planning and Wealth Management, a financial services firm in Carmel providing comprehensive retirement planning strategies to individuals near or in retirement. He can be reached at 853-6777 or adam@integratedpwm.com.

DISPATCHES Bye-bye tax breaks - Two proposals in President Barack Obama’s 2015 budget could curb retirement tax breaks for the rich. The first would limit savers’ combined balance across tax-preferred accounts. Last year, the president introduced the idea of prohibiting contributions to tax-advantaged retirement accounts like IRAs, 401(k)s and pensions when a person’s combined balance exceeds a certain level. Last year, for instance, the limit would have been $3.4 million for someone who was 62, but just $1 million for someone who was 40, according to a Tax Policy Center report. Secondly, there’s a proposal to cap the value of deductions for retirement savings contributions. Every year he’s been in office, Obama has proposed limiting the tax benefit of itemized deductions, as well certain tax exclusions, to 28 percent of the amount claimed. The Tax Policy Center estimates the proposal would affect mostly individuals who make more than $200,000 and married couples above $250,000. SOURCE: CNN Money What customer service? - The IRS could answer only 61 percent of the calls it received from taxpayers during the 2013 fiscal year, National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson said in a report released to Congress in January. That means that the rest of the calls — about 20 million — just didn’t get through, the independent taxpayer advocate said. Taxpayers who got help had to wait a long time for it. The taxpayer advocate said callers who got through were on hold for an average of nearly 18 minutes. Olson blamed a lack of resources. The overall IRS budget has been cut every year since the 2010 fiscal year, her report said, and the amount allocated for training has been slashed significantly as part of that. It’s unlikely that things will get better this year. The spending bill the House and Senate passed last week includes another cut to the IRS budget. Given its limited resources, the IRS said that in 2014 it will stop preparing tax returns for people who need help, such as the elderly and disabled. The agency also plans to answer only “basic” tax law questions. SOURCE: CNBC

Local company rewards investors - Baldwin & Lyons announced that at its regular quarterly meeting, the company’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.25 per share on the company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend per share will be payable March 5 to shareholders of record on Feb. 19. Young Americans scarred by financial crisis - Last month, UBS Wealth Management Americas released its quarterly Investor Watch report, which labeled millennials (which it defines as people ages 21 to 36) as the most fiscally conservative generation since the Great Depression. The majority of millennials surveyed said that the best advice they ever got was to save money, a switch from every other generation that cherished investment advice above all other financial tips. As a result, millennials aren’t buying into the purported merits of long-term investment and market chasing. Only 12 percent would invest some unexpected extra income in the market, and only 28 percent see long-term investment as key to success. As of last year, nearly 300,000 U.S. workers with college degrees were earning minimum wage. And the Center for College Affordability and Productivity reported that nearly half of the college graduates from the class of 2010 are working in jobs that don’t require a bachelor’s degree. A full 38 percent have taken gigs that don’t even require a high school education. SOURCE: MSN Money

A beautiful area rug can ground a room, be a focal point, provide comfort and serve as art underfoot. A rug can define a conversation space, provide a splash of color Decorating and be the unifying element that ties design elements together. Because so much is expected of these woven fibers that allow us to walk on them, a few acts of kindness in return will help your area rug live a long, healthy and beautiful life! A high-quality rug pad will protect your hardwood flooring and lengthen a rug’s life span. Just as important, the right rug pad can help to prevent falls by keeping the rug in place and unwrinkled. The mantra of the area rug is “vacuum, vacuum and vacuum.” This helps to reduce fiber wear and keeps dirt particles from being compressed deeper into the pile. The frequency of cleaning varies according to the traffic the rug receives. Caked-on dirt is difficult to remove, so remove as much soil as possible while it’s still damp to prevent this from happening. When first taken out of the packaging and unrolled, a rug may present bulges that will prevent it from lying flat. This happens when a rug is tightly rolled for shipment. The lumps should disappear in a day or two. If the problem persists, simply place a heavy flat object on top of it overnight. Really persistent wrinkles and bulges might require a bit of steaming to relax.

Initially, there will be some shedding of a hand-tufted wool rug. This is normal, expected and not a defect! The shedding is simply the rug ridding itself of the loose fibers left behind in the manufacturing process. This is common and does not reflect on the rug’s durability. Rotate your rug 180 degrees four times a year so that wear is even and fading from sunlight is minimized. Stains and spills are a fact of life. Resist the immediate urge to rub them; blotting with a clean towel is the preferred rescue method. Rubbing forces the stain to penetrate deeper into the rug and breaks down the fibers with the friction. If all else fails and you are tempted to break out a chemical cleaner to clean your area rug, consider your fiber before you even open the bottle. A wool rug requires different handling from a synthetic or other natural fiber rug. Keep your manufacturer’s care information handy! Professional cleaning is always the gold standard of rug care. I have known of situations where a good professional was actually a miracle worker. Timing is critical whether it is a DIY cleaning job or professional one. The longer the stain sets, the more comfortable it becomes residing in your rug. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in Carmel.

A few first-aid techniques owners can do

Commentary by John Mikesell

Checking gums Healthy gums are pink and moist. Pale, white or blue gums can signal a problem such as shock or anemia, which is a low red blood cell count. Pets The best place to check the gums is a couple millimeters above the canine tooth (a millimeter is slightly less than a third of an inch). Lift up your dog’s muzzle and press lightly with your finger on the gum area above the canine tooth. It should return to pink color within a couple of minutes. Taking the pulse The number of heartbeats per minute varies by size, with larger dogs having a slower rate. It is good to know your dog’s normal rate. If it is usually 80 and is now 150, that can mean he is in trouble. A rapidly beating heart can indicate shock or pain. To take your dog’s pulse, lay him on his right side. Then follow these steps: • Gently lift his hind leg away from the lower hind

leg. • Place two fingers as high as possible on the inside of the leg where it meets the body. • Feel for a recess in the middle of the leg about halfway between the front and back. This is where the blood vessels are located and where you’ll find the pulse. • Count the number of pulses in 10 seconds and multiply that number by six to give you the beats per minute. If you are unsure of how to take a pulse, ask your veterinarian or vet technician to show you on your dog the next time you are in for a visit. Helping a choking dog If your dog is choking on food or a toy and is conscious, approach it cautiously to avoid being bitten. Open its mouth and carefully sweep the inside with your finger to dislodge the object. Pull the tongue forward. If you cannot dislodge the object, you’ll need to perform these abdominal thrusts: • If you can lift your dog, hoist it by its front legs

Dispatches

with its spine against your chest and wrap your arms around it under the ribs. Make a fist with one hand, place your other hand over your fist and give five rapid abdominal thrusts, lifting your fist in an inward and upward motion. Just be as gentle as you would be if you were working on a baby. • If your dog is too big to lift, place it on its side. Put the palms of your hands below the rib cage and give five rapid abdominal thrust is an inward and upward motion. • Check its mouth to see if the object has been dislodged. I will have a few more first aid suggestions in my next article.

Eye-catching behavior – Certain body language will alert owners to possible eye distress. If your cat is constantly squinting or pawing at her eye area, give her eyes a good inspection. Wipe away any crusty gunk from your cat’s eyes with a damp cotton ball. Always wipe away from the corner of the eye, and use a fresh cotton ball for each eye. Snip away any long hairs that could be blocking her vision or poking her eyes. Try not to use eye washes or eye drops unless they’ve been prescribed by your vet. If you notice unnatural discharge during your grooming session, consult your vet. Source: www. aspca.org

Meknes is one of Morocco’s former royal cities, along with the better known Fes, Marrakech and Rabat. Meknes is famous for buildTravel ings erected by a 17th-century ruler who fancied himself the equal of French King Louis XIV and holds a world record for virility. Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif, claiming to be a descendant of Muhammad, became the Sultan of Morocco in 1672. Ismail moved his capital from Fes to Meknes and set about erecting palaces and other buildings to match his image of Versailles. He reportedly used 25,000 slaves in his projects, many of them Europeans captured by Barbary pirates operating from Moroccan ports. Some of the building materials may have been plundered from Volubilis, a nearby city with buildings dating to Roman times. Ismail’s famous stable housed 12,000 horses under a single roof supported by stone arches. Three long corridors intersected at the entrance, allowing one attendant to monitor all the horses simultaneously. An enormous granary adjoining the stable stored grain at controlled temperatures to enable both the horses and the residents to survive a long siege. A wheel inside the granary pulled water from an underground

stream. When construction at Meknes was complete, 15 miles of walls surrounded the city. Ismail, who led huge armies of soldiers from sub-Saharan Africa against his rivals, reportedly placed 10,000 skulls atop the walls to warn prospective attackers. Ismail maintained good diplomatic relations with Louis XIV, but was rebuffed in his efforts to marry the French king’s daughter. Not to worry; Ismail had enough wives and concubines to sire at least 867 children. Because of his military successes and his buildings at Meknes, Moulay Ismail is considered one of Morocco’s greatest rulers despite (or perhaps because of) his reputation for ruthlessness. A 1755 earthquake destroyed many of the buildings in Meknes, and Ismail’s successors moved the Moroccan capital to Marrakech. The stable and granary have been partially restored and they, along with Ismail’s mausoleum, are open to visitors. Ismail’s record for fathering the most children of any man in history remains untouched. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

START THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT WITH 20% OFF ANY WELLNESS SERVICE OR YOGA PACKAGE NOW THROUGH FEB. 28, 2014. CALL 317.580.0101 TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR WELLNESS & YOGA OFFERINGS. TOP 5 BENEFITS OF YOGA Over the last few years, yoga has taken over pop culture. Everyone is doing yoga, talking about doing yoga, or fully implementing yoga in their daily lives. We have included yoga as part of our services in conjunction with the series of nutrition and wellness menu items. Here are our top five reasons why we believe yoga is good for everyone’s everyday life: 1. Yoga is for everyone – It’s meant to relax, rejuvenate, recharge, release, and refresh your inner connection to your body and mind. Allow yourself to appreciate the time you are giving to yourself and relax. It doesn’t happen as often as we need it. 2. Yoga teaches you to understand your body – The practice of yoga serves as a link to the acceptance of our body. One can learn physical, mental and emotional strengths. Learn to accept your body for what it is and connect with your needs. Let your body tell you what it needs to be worked on instead of the other way around. 3. Yoga serves as a great way to recover after workouts – Your body needs to release toxins after every workout and drinking a lot of water isn’t always enough. Yoga gives the body the opportunity to stretch out while building core strengths. Every stretch releases toxins which allows for more recovery time and less soreness the following days. 4. Yoga incorporates meditation – Giving yourself time to meditate, or just spend some peaceful moments in thought, helps with finding ways to love your present. We all live busy lives, which can translate into worrying about the things we don’t get done. Meditation or reflection lets you refocus and rejuvenate yourself while releasing the stress. 5. Yoga is for you – You get out what you want to get out of yoga. It serves as your time for YOU. Our Yoga sessions are Wednesdays at 7:30am and 6pm, call us at 317-580-0101 for more information.

A GUIDE TO THE PERFECT LASHES Choose the right shade - The best way to get great lashes is to start with the right shade of mascara. Black can work on anyone, but for fair-skinned individuals, and those with red hair, try a brown-black for a softer look. Add Heat - Blast your eyelash curler with your hair dryer before very carefully curling the lashes. Squeeze the eyelash curler for a couple seconds once in the middle of the lashes, and once near the tips. Enhance - For a more dramatic look, apply single, false lashes that come in tiny clumps. Using tweezers, dip the lashes in lash glue and place at the outer corner of your eyelid. Add Volume - A translucent powder at the ends of lashes gives mascara volume and stay-power. Using an eye shadow brush, sweep powder on the ends and tops of your lashes prior to applying your mascara. Apply - Start with the wand at the root of your lashes and wiggle the brush to your ends. Apply multiple coats for a bolder look, being careful not to let it dry between applications, in order to avoid clumping.

Have you ever walked on a real bluestone patio with thick moss behaving as 2-inch joints, or seen a massive travertine outoutdoors door bistro counter (shout out to Greenleaf for the counter)? What about genuinely custom outdoor furniture skillfully crafted in Hamilton County by Vive using locally sourced maple? These are just a few of the inspirational use of materials we witnessed at the 2104 Home Show a few weeks ago. Check out our “Best Of” the Home Show video at www.choosesurroundings.com if you didn’t brave the icy-cold trek to the fairgrounds. There were plenty of opportunities to see more common elements such as concrete paver patios with seat walls and columns. We enjoy those materials, particularly when employed in an extreme, custom or edgy fashion and coupled with REAL. Real limestone. Real travertine. Real boulders. Rising star Jason Watson, the young-gun proprietor of Kenneth Watson Design, created a favorite space. Our buddy Zach, owner of Green Stone in Noblesville, introduced us. Zach is another rising star and ambitious supplier of unique boulders, stone and other natural products our luxurious projects command. Jason’s linear privacy panels take unique

advantage of standard cedar materials, built in a modern fashion. The space is enveloping and curiously prompts you to hang. Which is what we did. We gathered around the bar-height bistro table constructed from rescued hand-hewn wood I imagine was sourced from an ailing barn. The massive bluestone supporting column houses a linear fire feature that seamlessly grows out of the counter. All very REAL. After all … that is what we hope to create for you. Something real. Where you can experience real family moments in a space that speaks to your values and your personality. Welcome to 2014 luxury outdoor living!

Feeding the birds – Winter is the season for giving, and there’s no reason to stop with friends and neighbors. It’s fun to decorate a tree in the yard with treats for hungry birds, too. Since their natural food supply of seeds, nuts and insects dwindles when the weather is cold, you’ll be doing more than sharing a few snacks. Leaving fruit, nuts and other treats can attract beautiful birds to your winter yard. Offer the food on an evergreen tree or shrub in your yard that has sturdy branches, or move your Christmas tree outside after the holidays and use it. You can keep the tree in its stand or insert it into a big bucket of wet, heavy sand. Put it in a protected location to make sure it stays upright. www.hgtv.com Garden club – Gardener and certified Tai Chi instructor Victoria Wesseler will present “Tai Chi for Gardeners” during the Herb Society of Central Indiana at 6:45 p.m. March 3 at the John Hensel Government Center, 10701 N.

Kitchen and bathroom trends for 2014 Commentary by David Decker 2014 has barely begun and already we’ve started to map out the newest trends for your kitchen and bathrooms. Take a look at indoors the following creative ideas that designers have come up with to make 2014 an exciting and innovative year. Kitchen • Floating shelves: Instead of storing their dishes away in cupboards and cabinetry, more homeowners are choosing to display them as part of the kitchen aesthetic. One way to do that is by using floating shelves, which are designed to be installed on a wall without showing any hardware or stabilizing brackets. • Black countertops: The sleek look of black granite or quartz countertops has wowed homeowners. Many are choosing to pair it with white or light-colored countertops, but the beauty of black is that it can complement virtually any design. • Brass, black and gold metals: In everything from faucets to cabinet fixtures, brass, black and brushed gold have become trendier than traditional silver. Bathroom • Standalone tubs: Because they take up less space than a traditional tiled-in-tub, many homeowners are choosing to install

a freestanding tub. This also frees up space to create a luxurious modern shower. Speaking of which … • Luxury showers: When it comes to relaxing and unwinding after a tough day, showers are becoming more popular than bathtubs. Look for spacious showers that don’t include a traditional bench seat. For both • Open/glass cabinet doors: This trend also follows the thought process of displaying items instead of hiding them behind a

cabinet door. Open and glass cabinet doors can make a room feel bright and airy. • Smart electronics and appliances: Green, energy-saving items are still popular among homeowners who are looking to save on their energy bill after an upgrade. Technological advances such as touchless faucets, high-efficiency toilets and dishwashers that conserve water are all in high demand. • Universal design: Universal design has been around since the 1960s but has recently surged in popularity due to the increased emphasis on aging in place. Many homeowners are now designing their homes with aging users in mind; that way, they can continue to live comfortably in their home for years to come. Look for designs that use levers instead of knobs, accessible drawers, easy-to-reach storage and more. For information on these trends and more, visit the Affordable Companies’ Website for news, updates and photos of cutting-edge designs for your kitchen and bathrooms. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.
