Ambassadors planning preview show

The costumes are designed, the plane tickets have been bought and the logistics are falling into place. The Carmel High School AmbassaMusic dors will be ambassadors in the truest sense of the word when they represent Carmel in Europe April 2 to 12. But those of us who must remain stateside will still have a chance to see the show choir’s routine before it goes, when the group presents “An Evening with the Ambassadors” on March 14 and 15. “We are working as hard and as fast as we can to get ready,” said director Lamonte Kuskye. “Not only are we playing catch-up after having lost about 20 hours of rehearsal time due to the weather, but we also just found out that they don’t use risers over there like we do, which means that Ron (Morgan, the group’s choreographer) had to re-stage many of the numbers.” Fundraising has been a constant task since last year, in the form of a cabaret and silent auction, car wash and jam sales. The trip will cost $3,700 per student, and 48 students are in the group. “I think we’re on target,” Kuskye said. “The parents

DVD Review - Game of Thrones: Season 3 Say what you will about author George R.R. Martin and HBO’s adaptation of his epic fantasy series, but they’re willing to take big storytelling chances. That narrative brashness continues in season three, which sees the entire continent of Westeros split into different warring factions. It’s full of surprises and unexpected character development, with fan favorites brought low and the hissable Lannister clan seemingly triumphant. Read more at currentnightandday.com

As of today a decision on a proposed weapons ordinance in Carmel has likely died a quick death in the city council. The ordinance had sought to regulate the use of pellet, air and BB guns and other non-regulated types of weapons within city limits. But by a unanimous vote at the Feb. 6 utilities, transportation and public safety committee meeting, a group of three city councilors opted to send the ordinance back to the city council with a negative recommendation.

February is American Heart Month. That means St.Vincent Health is redoubling its efforts toward public education about the importance of heart Edward Fry, M.D. health awareness and taking the steps needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Most people aren’t aware that heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in this country. That fact is often a great revelation, especially regarding women’s health. Although it’s a common belief that breast cancer is the number one cause of death in women, the number of fatalities due to heart disease is actually about three times greater. And becuase heart disease strikes both men and women, it’s an equal opportunity problem. An estimated one out of every three people is affected by some element of heart disease. But the good news is that there are preventive steps you can take to help improve your chances. The first step is to know your risks. It’s essential to have an assessment with your primary care physician about the various risk factors for heart disease. This includes smoking history, family history, weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, conditions such as obesity or diabetes, and other factors. Once you know your risks, the next step is to minimize the ones that are controllable. Family history is an example of a factor we

can’t control. But even though we can’t pick our parents, we can manage our blood pressure. We can avoid smoking. We can exercise and keep our weight down. In short, it’s all about starting with the basics: a conversation with your primary care physician to help assess your risks. Then, based on your risk profile, your primary care provider may recommend lifestyle changes or medication to reduce those risks, testing to further identify those risks, such as certain imaging tests (coronary calcium scoring, stress testing, etc.), or referral to a cardiologist for further evaluation. American Heart Month is a great time to make heart health awareness top-of-mind. Of course, for cardiologists, every month is heart awareness month, but we’re a little more vocal about it in February. St.Vincent Health is behind American Heart Month in a very big way thanks to our support of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women initiative. That’s our educational and community outreach campaign to help raise awareness that women are as prone to heart disease as men. 2014 is actually a very special milestone for women’s heart health. This year is not only the tenth anniversary of Go Red for Women, it’s the tenth year St.Vincent Health has been the presenting sponsor. Talk to your physician to find out if a HeartScan is right for you. To schedule a HeartScan at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, just call 866-432-4457. And learn more at BestHeartCare.com.

A quiet war of wills has been waged for the past month between the Carmel Redevelopment Commission and the ClerkGovernment Treasurer along with some members of the city council. This time, it’s in reference to the City Center parking garage. The parking garage, which is currently valued by the CRC at $13.8 million, was purchased by the CRC from Pedcor for $22.5 million in 2011, according to documents provided by the Clerk-Treasurer. The original purchase contracts drafted by CRC attorney Karl Haas called for three separate debt instruments in the amounts of a main $17 million loan and $4.5 million and $1 million secondary loans. Haas The $17 million debt instrument was rolled into the refinanced CRC debt in 2012, and the two secondary debts remained payable to Village Financial, a subsidiary of Pedcor, according to City Councilor Luci Snyder. ‘We have to keep paying him’ In early January, Clerk-Treasurer Diana Cordray raised concerns regarding two CRC invoices from Village Financial for interest on the two secondary loans. The invoices totaled $83,709.56. Cordray said she felt that there was not adequate documentation for the invoices, brought those concerns to a member of the city council and withheld payment. The original loan agreements contained charts that showed no principal payments would be due until 2019 with blank entries for the previous years. After the city council agreed to bail out the CRC in 2012, the contracts were amended to reflect only the two secondary debts, but the council was assured that no substantive changes were made to the agreement. Thus the confusion when interest invoices arrived. The council requested clarification from CRC president Bill Hammer, but Hammer deferred to CRC attorney Karl Haas. After a series of emails, a meeting was ultimately called which took place Feb. 10 at City Hall. The meeting was attended by CRC members Bill Hammer Matthes and Dave Bowers, their financial and legal counsel, Loren Matthes of Umbaugh and Associates, Karl Haas and Bruce Donaldson, Cordray and her public policy consultant, Mike Shaver, council president Eric Seidensticker, councilor Luci Snyder, Mayor Jim Brainard and acting CRC executive director Steve Engleking. “It was obvious at yesterday’s meeting that the documents in question were so complex and often conflicting that it took the scrutiny and expertise of a dozen people to figure them out,” Snyder said. “At the end of the meeting I asked Karl (Haas) if he does this as a game, just to see how long it takes us to justify an action relying

on his documents which often do not use the same terminology. But perhaps the answer is simpler; if everything is so complex, we have to keep paying him just to understand what we’ve done or need to do. He is responsible.” ‘You can’t serve two masters’ In response to requests for clarification on the invoices, Matthes sent an email stating that the amended agreements called for interest to be paid on loans beginning in 2014 if surplus Pedcor TIF existed, and confirmed that the invoices were correct, due and payable. In the same email, Matthes also stated that her firm was retained by Pedcor in the fall of 2013 to make the calculation of the anticipated repayment of the secondary agreements. “In any financial transaction, you want to have separate people representing both sides,” Seidensticker said. “We have a case where the same firm is generating the amount due that’s verifying the amount due. You can’t serve two masters.” “I do not see this as a conflict because it is an objective calculation that all these parties are required to make in accordance with the Transaction Agreement,” Matthes said. “Umbaugh is an independent Certified Public Accounting firm and an independent Financial Advisory firm, and also uniquely qualified to make/verify this calculation because of our experience with the CRC’s tax increment and outstanding obligations.” ‘Nobody asked us’ Members of the CRC board and the mayor have questioned whether Cordray has the authority to withhold payment. “The reason we are confused is because Diana never asked us for any documentation,” CRC board member Jeff Worrell said. “If she was missing documentation she could have just called us and asked for it. I have a copy of the contract myself.” Cordray maintains that her job is to pay bills that are accompanied by appropriate documentation, and it is the job of every department in the city to provide that documentation. Cordray stated that when she questioned CRC financial consultant Mike Lee about supporting documents, he simply replied via email that the invoices were valid. “I’ve been doing this job for seventeen years now, and I really felt in my gut that something was not right,” said Cordray. “Assuring me it’s valid and showing me it’s valid are two different things.” “I support the Clerk-Treasurer withholding payment on any check - City or CRC - when she has questions,” said City Councilor Sue Finkam. “Additionally, I believe if a problem cannot be resolved, the Clerk-Treasurer should notify the entire council, in writing. In this instance, Diana notified only one council member. We should continue together to work on matters of communication and transparency.” “But ultimately, the council does not have the authority to deny a disbursement that the CRC has approved,” Seidensticker said. “The check will be released, and the taxpayers may have to pay the late fee associated with the resulting confusion surrounding these bills.”

School board recap

Compiled by Pete Smith

What happened: Supt. Nicholas Wahl addressed how the district planned to make up snow days. What it means: Carmel schools need to make up three of this year’s six snow days. There appear to be two options. The first entails adding three days to the end of the school year – not on President’s Day or around spring break. The second option is to lengthen school days. However, this option would cut into teachers’ scheduled planning and preparation time. The hope, though, is that longer days before ISTEP testing in the first week of March would help student preparation.

What’s next: Wahl will make a determination after raising the issue with teachers, Glenda Ritz and the Indiana Department of Education.

What happened: School board member Patricia Hackett offered a conference update. What it means: Hackett attended a conference on collective bargaining, coincidentally held in Carmel, that was hosted by the Indiana School Board Association and the Indiana Association of Public School Superintendents. The presentations at the conference helped to clarify state laws on collective bargaining, make the process more transparent through the use of Gateway, focus the school board’s role in determining whether contracts would result in deficit financing and provide guidelines for how non-salary benefits should be outlined in contracts.

What’s next: No further action is needed.

In other news: The school board got back to its roots and conducted a true workshop instead of using the first meeting of the month as another business meeting. Board members, the superintendent and other administrators listened to a presentation on the challenges associated with special education students who display challenging behaviors while attempting to learn. An excellent example from the roundtable was when the presenters showed a video clip of a naval commander ordering an approaching radar blip to change its course 15 degrees to the north. The other entity radioed back suggesting the naval vessel change its course 15 degree to the south. This incensed the naval commander, who, with full bluster, ordered the approaching blip on the radar to alter its course. The blip replied, “But we’re a lighthouse.” The point was that often it’s the educator who needs to alter course. It was a rare moment of revelation.

It started as a warm early summer day in a peaceful downtown Carmel. It was June 1900. Before the day was over the history town’s deputy constable and a visiting street preacher lay dead in a tragic and very public double homicide. The shooting deaths briefly put Carmel in the national news. T.J. “Cyclone” Johnson, described as an “eccentric and defiant street preacher” from Kentucky, came to Carmel that summer to hold a series of tent revivals which were popular at the time. He set up shop on a vacant lot at the corner of First Ave. and Third Street N.W. Things did not go well almost from the start. Varying accounts indicate that Rev. Johnson may have insulted various citizens from the pulpit or in other ways antagonized a portion of the community. One night some young men went to the tent and perhaps taunted the preacher, who carried a shotgun among his belongings. A shot was fired. It did no damage, but the police were notified and Johnson was cited for his actions. Shortly thereafter Johnson was scheduled to appear before the justice of the peace. Knowing Johnson’s demeanor, the town constable deputized William F. Carey to help take the preacher to court. Court was held in a livery stable on West Main

armed with a revolver. As the hearing was about to begin the preacher pulled his gun and shot Carey, killing him almost instantly. The bystanders were shocked and enraged. Some unknown member of the crowd pulled a gun and mortally wounded Johnson. The unexpected event in a quiet, mostly Quaker community created a sensation. The county sheriff was called in to investigate. Despite dozens of witnesses, the person who shot Johnson was never identified, probably protected by fellow townspeople. In the following days rumors circulated to the effect that Johnson’s Kentucky relatives were coming to Carmel to look into the matter. To say the least, this put the community on edge. But the rumored visitors never appeared. Carey, who had a wife and young children, was widely mourned and honorably buried in Carmel Cemetery. Today a photo of Deputy Carey, the only Carmel law enforcement officer ever killed in the line of duty, is found at police headquarters. And on West Main Street near the Monon, people can find the statue of a police officer. The name badge reads W. Carey.

Carmel filmmaker to premiere feature film

Creekside Middle School eighthgrader Luke Broyles will premiere his film “Trapped” on Feb. 23. (Staff photo)

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurren.com Fourteen-year-old Luke Broyle’s passion for filmmaking has led him to some amazing adventures: raising a dozen baby ducks, event traveling to Africa, mastering a zipline in the mountains of upstate New York and meeting people across the globe. Just eight years after writing, directing and acting in his film at age 6, Broyles is preparing to premiere his eighth feature film and has created 20 to 25 short films. “I like how movies tell stories and are very captivating,” Broyles said, adding he enjoys filmmaking because it brings stories to life. Broyles said he is inspired by directors Alfred Hitchcock and Steven Spielberg. “With Hitchcock it’s the suspense and how he keeps (audiences) interested,” he said. “Spielberg is controversial in a good way. His movies seem a little ahead of their time.” While making his nature documentary “Bird Brothers,” Broyles was challenged by Heartland Truly Moving Pictures founder Jeffrey Sparks to make a documentary about “someone you care about.” Broyles chose Michael McCarley, a friend from school. The upbeat journey follows him through surgeries to strengthen his legs as a result of cerebral palsy. The film earned Broyles the Schemmel Award from the Cerebral Palsy Association of Greater Indiana and was the 2010 REEL Teens Film Festival audience award winner.

“It was kinda easy (to film) because he knew me and was comfortable with me,” Broyles said. peopleweBroyles’ feature films, which he has written, directed and, like Hitchcock, appeared in, include the “Swords and Shields” trilogy, “G,” “Michael,” “Bird Brothers,” “The Creature” and “Trapped.” For his next feature, Broyles said he is on his seventh draft of a historical fiction film. Since 2010, Broyles’ films have appeared in 28 film festivals in Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Alabama, Utah, Colorado and Canada. The Creekside Middle School eighth-grader’ eighth feature film, “Trapped,” is his first foray into the suspense/mystery genre. “It’s about nine people who are trapped in a room and they have to figure out how to get out and who trapped them in the first place,” he said. “It was hard because you have to figure it all out – it’s a more complicated story.”

The cast of “Trapped” included seven new actors and approximately 40 to 50 extras. “Most were people I know from school, church, friends of my parents or were a part of past films,” he said. Broyles said the movie’s idea came to him six years ago and he began writing the script two years ago. The 70-minute-long film was shot on Aug. 4 through 6 in the basement of Verity Institute in Indianapolis. “Trapped” will premiere Feb. 23 at the Mill Top Banquet & Conference Center, 802 Mulberry St. in Noblesville. Those interested in attending may visit www.facebook.com/TheCreaturebyLukeProductions or e-mail tiggertimbroyles@gmail. com. Broyles asks that guests arrive at 3 p.m. for the free screening. A $5 VIP event will take place at 2:30 p.m. with actors, crew members and desserts.

Exhibit to help a forgotten people By Tonya Burton • news@currentincarmel.com

Throughout February, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis plans to host a photo exhibit that aims to play on its ART audience’s emotions. The photos by human rights photographer Katie Basbagill attempt to document the plight of the 300,000 Bihari people of Bangladesh. When East and West Pakistan separated in 1971, neither Pakistan nor Bangladesh would claim the Bihari. They were left without passports in makeshift camps created by the Red Cross. Their language and customs are different from those of the rest of the people in Bangladesh, which is a poor country. And 43 years later, they remain in the camps living in abject poverty. The church’s photo exhibit is part of a fundraising effort to boost the Indiana-based OBAT Helpers, a nonprofit group working to improve the lives of the Bihari. Indiana resident Anwar Khan founded OBAT Helpers. He said founded the organization after taking a trip to visit extended family in Bangladesh. The conditions Khan found there astounded him and touched his heart. He knew he had to help. His initial plan was to adopt a single family to support, but he quickly realized the need was much greater. “The range of things I witnessed was beyond even my imagination,” Khan said. “Sewers and latrines are used by hundreds,

which invites bacteria and spreads disease. On average there was one toilet per hundred people. Malnutrition was rampant.” So in 2004, Khan, his family and his friends formed OBAT Helpers. The acronym is a nod of respect to his wife’s and his parents and contains the first letter of each of their first names. “We are the only nonprofit organization in the U.S. devoted to the plight of the Bihari in Bangladesh,” Khan said. “We are nonprofit, nonreligious and nonpolitical. This is a human rights issue.” Currently, they raise about $350,000 per year, of which 90 percent directly benefits the Bihari camps. Because of one man’s initial vision, OBAT Helpers has initiated safe water projects, with 500- to 600-foot deep wells to bypass surface contamination. The group also runs 37 educational projects, two health clinics, three tutoring and two computer training centers, self-empowerment programs, camp improvement programs, and water and sewage facilities. They are educating approximately 2,000 children, many of whom hope to become teachers or medical workers. Ninety percent of Bihari children surveyed by OBAT were found to be illiterate. For more information about the exhibit, visit St. Luke’s United Methodist Church at 100 W. 86th St. in Indianapolis.

IU Health North hosted a benefit at the gorgeous Lucas Estate in Carmel on Jan. 8. The drive back to the estate was incredibly scenic — one of the first times I’ve really enjoyed looking at snow this winter. The brick driveway, fir trees, torches and waiting valets suggested the warm and lovely atmosphere inside. Tracy Miller, Interim Director of Marketing and full-time Director of the Office of Philanthropy, along with Joy Davis and Andrea Grgic, produced an enjoyable, well-organized and productive evening. The IU Health Office of Philanthropy honored longtime Indiana business owner and philanthropist Marlyne Sexton as the major gift donor for the new rooftop garden at the IU North Hospital. Additionally, ticket sales, donations and an art auction raised funds to benefit patient services. And Lucas Catering prepared an elegantly presented dinner. Speed painter Dan Dunn surprised dinner guests with a wild art performance that culminated in three paintings, each completed in fewer than five-and-a-half minutes. The paintings sold at a live auction after dinner, and proceeds were donated to the hospital. A favorite local band, Henle and the Loops, provided afterdinner entertainment. Approximately 150 people attended the gala, including many doctors and administrators of the IU Health network. Dr. Jon Goble, CEO of IU North Central Region, provided the introductory speech during dinner, and Dr. Sheldon Weiss, co-chair of the gala, hosted. Indy racecar driver Ed Carpenter and his wife, Heather, gave personal and heartfelt talks regarding their connection to IU Health. The evening was well represented by many notable IU Health physicians. Among them were Dr. Jon and Theresa Goble, Dr. Sheldon and Debbie Weiss, Dr. Jon and Lisa Brandt, Dr. Steve Horvath, Dr. Dan and Marilyn Evans, Dr. Anthony and Annette Sorkin, Suzanne Del Boccio, Dr. Michael and Susan Tsangaris, Dr. Randall and Karen Yust, Dr. Kevin Smith, Dr. Sean Trivedi, and Dr. Walter and Jody Virkus.

Winston Long received treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. (Submitted photos)

Thanks to a miraculous heart transplant, a local volunteer and civic leader is not taking a single day for granted By Pete Smith • pete@yoaurecurrent.com Winston Long said that on the evening of Nov. 15, 2010, he made one of the biggest mistakes of his life. Earlier in the evening he had attended cover story a Carmel City Council meeting, and as vice president of Omni Centre for Public Media he had lobbied the council not to make further cuts to public funding for the government television channel his company produced content for. Winston said he had felt a pressing feeling in his chest as he ascended the flight of stairs in city hall to the council chambers. But it went away, and he didn’t think anything of it. After his testimony, Winston went home to prepare a dinner of oriental soup. His wife, Sandra Long, said that he appeared to be out of breath. And at just that moment, the pain in Winston’s chest returned – and this time it stayed, radiating down his arms. “I jumped up and asked Sandra to take me immediately to the heart center,” he said, thinking it would take the fire department more than five minutes to get to his Brookshire neighborhood house. And as the medical response team could have begun lifesaving procedures on the spot, Sandra and Winston sped off into the night on Carmel’s empty streets in a race against time. When they did make it to St.Vincent’s Heart Center, they were

fortunate enough not to have to wait, and the doctors began treating Winston immediately. Fortunate because within the following 45 minutes, the hospital would admit five more patients suffering from heart attacks. Any delay could have cost Winston his life because a heart attack is not a single event; it continues to damage the heart muscle until treated. Driving to the hospital lost valuable time and did additional damage to the heart. ‘Where your heart guides you’ Natives of Birmingham, Ala., Winston and Sandra moved to Carmel in 1975 when he accepted a position as an associate professor of nursing at IUPUI. But when he began doing consulting work focused on media productions, he found a new passion. And by the time he had gained tenure at the university, he decided to leave it all and pursue his own company – Omni Productions – full-time. “You’ve got to go where your heart guides you,” he said. “That’s so important.” And Winston and Sandra began their Indiana lives in Carmel right from the start. “This is where you want to live,” Winston recalls Elizabeth Grossman, the dean of the IUPUI School of Nursing, telling him at the time. Which was a leap of faith at the time because Carmel was largely an undeveloped community with cornfields as far as you could see, he said. “I got involved in city affairs when Jane Reiman was mayor,” Winston said. He said that at that time, Alabama was still considered a Democratic state, and he was a registered member of that party. Well, Reiman needed to appoint two Republicans and a Democrat to the

newly formed Carmel Police Commission. “Mayor Reiman didn’t know any Democrats,” Winston recalls then-police chief Jerry Lowe telling him. So with the appointment, he began serving his first four-year tenure on the police commission until it was disbanded. When the commission was reconstituted as the police merit board in 2009, Winston was appointed again. He has also served on the cable and telecommunications commission and in other capacities within the city. “If I’m able, I’m more than willing to serve where I’m needed,” Winston said. ‘I was on a long journey’ Winston’s message now is this: “If someone has an urgent medical need, he or she should call 911.” Immediate treatment wouldn’t have prevented the single complete artery blockage and five partial blockages. But in cases of congestive heart failure – when the heart is no longer strong enough to maintain enough pumping strength to move blood through the veins – immediate treatment can prevent widespread damage. In his case, doctors fixed the complete blockage with a stent and then spent the next week coming up with a treatment plan that would save his life. “That’s when I first knew I was on a long journey,” Winston said. At the end of the week doctors performed a triple bypass surgery, and two weeks later he was sent home to recuperate. He began making lifestyle changes that involved cutting out all sodium – along with taking a huge helping of pills of many sorts. In October 2011 he had an AED and pacemaker installed in his right shoulder, and in March 2012 he had a Left Atrial Pressure Monitor installed in his left shoulder. With lifestyle changes and surgeries, he lost about 80 pounds

It is an internal pump that is attached to the heart through open-heart surgery and then powered through an external device using a six-hour battery pack that the user has to wear at all times around the waist. It’s the device that former vice president Dick Cheney had implanted in him before his 2012 heart transplant. Prior to the surgery in March 2013, the doctors told Winston, “Don’t be surprised if you no longer have a pulse.” The reason was that the constant spinning action inside the LVAD removes the rhythmic pulse that the heart muscles create. But the surgery was a success, and the Longs added more devices and batteries to Winston’s bionic lifestyle. “I was worried about going through a metal detector because I’d set it off like a Christmas tree,” Winston said. “It’s certainly better than the alternative. I was just thankful to be around every day and spend time with my family.” Cutting the cord By 2013 Winston and Sandra had been making regular trips to Cleveland for more than two years.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

FROM THE EDITOR Changes in store for Monon Trail

Could this be good news? The Wall Street Journal, in tandem with NBC News, recently released results of national polling it did, and the results are at once staggering and encouraging. How can that be? Read on. Pollsters asked Americans if our nation is better, stagnant or worse off since President Barack Obama took office. An unthinkable (even to us) 68 percent of respondents said the president has steered the United States to a position that is worse than when he captured the Oval Office in the aftermath of George W. Bush’s bungled administration. Obama is in his sixth of eight years as our leader. It’s also amazing and heartening, the fact that 81 percent of respondents disapprove of the job Congress is doing and twice as many among those polled stated they hold negative views of the Republican Party. Good news, it seems, but for a voting community that needs a serious reset. Maybe it’s under way. Maybe the independents are finally good and fed up with the ineffectiveness of our president and the representatives and senators on both sides of the aisle. Is this the leading edge of a sea change? Are the independents coming to the fore in a meaningful way? We certainly would celebrate that. ••• In the Feb. 25 edition of Current, you’ll find a copy of our annual summer camps guide, which we hope will prove helpful, if not enlightening, to you.

Wanton act of violence a waste of time Commentary by Terry Anker Even as we recover from our collective disappointment that the big game didn’t provide us with adequate thrills, one is brought to contemplate the modern ethos surrounding the grand combat that is contemporary football. As we sit and listen to commentators compare these young athletes’ prowess to all manner of ancient warriors, the hyperbole is both amusing and concerning. Last week a purveyor of such things announced the looming exhibition boxing match of a pair of celebrities – or at least notorious humans. The promoter wanted to bring together George Zimmerman, the low-rent, armed neighborhood watch protagonist who shot an unarmed 15-yearold boy, and Earl Simmons, the multi-platinumselling, bankrupt deadbeat dad of 12 (more paternity claims are being litigated), felon and movie star who presently calls himself DMX. Although there isn’t enough room in this column, perhaps in the entire newspaper, to fully come to grips with these men’s guilt or innocence against the various social expectations they have confronted, one can

certainly imagine the PT Barnum-like spectacle this display would have generated. Mr. Simmons summarily expressed his bravado by proclaiming in an expletive-laced tirade that he would beat Mr. Zimmerman to near death and complete his humiliation by evacuating himself on the body. Mr. Zimmerman, in his own display of modern manhood, has been seeking a boxing match like this one for some time and has been shopping for an opponent most likely to generate attention, and thus cash for himself. Please forgive the use of rather coarse language in describing the interaction between these two humans; however, its expression printed here barely exposes the vitriol of what has actually been said. Thankfully the fight was canceled before the pandering could continues

It looks like the southern portion of the Monon Trail that runs through Carmel will get a facelift sometime this year. Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Director Mark Westermeier said the trail will be resurfaced with new asphalt due to normal wear and tear over the past 15 years. But before the work can begin, the parks department – which manages the trail for the city – needs to construct a temporary detour route for runners and cyclists. And need isn’t an overstatement, Westermeier said. In his experience, there have been multiple instances where trail users refused to stop moving forward. The first was when construction equipment was placed on the trail and surrounded by a temporary chain link fence. “Mononers” proceeded to cut through the fence with bolt cutters and run through the zone like an obstacle course. The second was when a utility pipe had to cross the trail, requiring a temporary trail to be cut and some fresh asphalt to be laid at night. The repairs took a little longer than expected and the asphalt was still drying by the time some early morning bicyclists refused warnings from workers and the visible construction barriers. They then cussed out the workers when the fresh asphalt damaged their bikes’ tires. The last was when some trees had to be cut down adjacent to the trail. The trunks were laid across the trail while waiting for a truck to come haul them away. By this point Westermeier wasn’t surprised when he saw some Carmel citizens walking toward the trees with chainsaws. There are also plans to add more visible stop signage at Monon Trail intersections to try to prevent people from wandering into roads without stopping. These might include stop signs, signs that warn cross traffic doesn’t stop, painted “stop” language on the pavement, rumble strips or mini speed bumps. Hopefully trail users will keep the chainsaws at home when they see the changes.

Snooze dog

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Something curious is happening to me. I hope it’s nothing to be too concerned about. I’m not napping as much as I used to. For humor most of my life, if I was on the couch watching a TV show, I’d nod off within five minutes. But a couple of weeks back, I made it through the entire Super Bowl wide awake. Not even Peyton Manning can say that. This past month I did not take a single nap. Even the dog wondered what happened to our siesta. He kept following me around the house as if to say, “Hey, I’m 80 in dog years. It’s almost 2 p.m. Let’s stretch out and do this.” Napping has never been a problem. When I was a high school teacher, I actually fell asleep in class while proctoring a statewide exam. The kids were very polite. “I hope we didn’t disturb you yesterday, Mr. Wolfsie,” said one of my students. “We tried to cheat as quietly as we could.” Until recently, I could take a quick snooze while having dinner with friends, sitting at red lights, waiting for my wife to put on makeup, letting the dog relieve himself, and waiting at fast food drive-up windows and in checkout lines. Anywhere. Mary Ellen has never quite understood the value of a nap. Personally, I think women are afraid they’re going to miss something. Like a sale, or a beautiful sunset, or the plot of a movie. Men don’t

care about stuff like this. My inability to nap recently came up during my recent annual physical, but there was some confusion in the conversation. “How are you sleeping?” asked Dr. Ross “It’s been rough,” I told him. “Sometimes I’m awake for 8 or 10 hours in a row.” “TEN HOURS?” he gasped. “We need to do some testing. How long has this been going on?” “Several months.” “Do you just toss and turn in bed?” “Well, I’m not in bed. That’s the problem. I’m out driving the car, watching the news or cooking. Sometimes I’m in the garage operating heavy machinery.” “This is very troubling, Dick. So you don’t sleep all night? “No, I sleep great at night. It’s all day that I can’t sleep.” Dr. Ross was very helpful once I straightened out the misunderstanding. He said I had to accept that men experience changes in their bodily rhythms as they mature. “I want you to go home this afternoon and really think about that,” he said. I told him I’d have to sleep on it. Which meant, of course, it would have to wait until that night.

Showing our Kentucky side

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

As I approach my seven-year anniversary with Current, I’ve been revisiting some of my most “famous” columns. Here’s the one that forever changed my husband’s identity. humor Pardon me, but my Kentucky is showing. One night, you see, as I lay in bed with my sound machine at half blast, I heard what sounded like a small critter shuffling behind me. Squirrel in the chimney, I thought, and cranked the noise to “Prop Plane.” Moments later, the scratching shifted, and I determined it was coming from directly above my head, from the attic. The weird clawing continued, so I went to get my husband (who I will hereinafter call “Doo” in reference to Loretta Lynn’s husband). Doo came upstairs and confirmed that something was definitely up there, but felt there was no need to fret. I eventually fell asleep, but at 4:30 a.m., I awoke to more creepy pawing. Dang nabbit! When I went outside to take a gander, I couldn’t see anything at first. Then a circular shape with two pointy ears came into focus, daring me to do something about his uninvited presence. Naturally, I hightailed it back to safety. At first light, Doo climbed up to attic with a broom and came face-to-face with our perp, a big mother of a raccoon. Doo ordered me outside; he would attempt to scare the varmint out onto the roof. No good. The ‘coon hunkered down

between the joists. “I’ll be back,” Doo shouted as he sped off in the truck, covered in insulation and sweat. Minutes later Doo returned, now armed with a pellet gun. He again entered the attic, ready to go all Deliverance on the critter. Out on the front yard, I heard Pop! Pop!, and then Doo hollerin’ “I got him!” Though he couldn’t find a body, we proudly claimed success. At 11:30 pm, however, our worst nightmare was confirmed. The Bourne Raccoon was alive! Scratch, scratch, shuffle, scratch. With the kids asleep, Doo grabbed his gun and headed into the fray once more, while I sprinted outside. Pop! Pop, pop, pop. Silence. Then Doo came bounding out the door in nothing but a pair of cut-off shorts, yellin’ that he’d nailed the sucker, while I stood barefoot in a bathrobe. How Butcher Holler was this scene? Me and Doo, half-naked at midnight, trying to kill a ‘coon with a shotgun? All that was missing was a baby on the hip! A big fat apology to neighbors who were lured to their windows by our backwoods shenanigans. We promise to keep our Kentucky better hidden next time. Peace out, y’all.

Symphony from Israel to stop in Carmel during tour

THIS WEEK

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com Being in the middle of a 38-concert tour might seem like a heavy load for an orchestra conductor to undertake, but BoguMusic slaw Dawidow is used to the rigors of touring and international travel for the sake of music. In fact, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra that the Polish native will conduct in a concert at the Palladium Feb. 19 is just one of five orchestras he’s involved with on four continents. In addition to being principal guest conductor of this orchestra from northern Israel, Dawidow (pronounced “DAH-vee-doff”) continues to direct the Chopin Chamber Orchestra he founded in Krakow, Poland, in the 1980s. He also holds the post of principal guest conductor with the Bogotá (Colómbia) Symphony Orchestra. All that, plus regular work with orchestras in Palermo, Italy, and South Korea, makes for what could well be an exhausting schedule for a 60-year-old. “I don’t feel it,” Dawidow said about his age, as he prepared to travel to Elmira, N.Y., last week. His wife is accompanying him on this tour, as she does on most of his travels. “If you love this, you don’t feel your age,” he said. “I was born to be on the stage and I feel born again whenever I go onstage.” The main difficulty is adjusting to time-zone changes, he admitted in a telephone interview. “But if music is your life, you do everything you have to do to get into the music,” he said. His formative musical studies focused on conducting in his native Poland, but his career focus blossomed significantly in the early 1980s when he worked with and observed Leonard Bernstein in Vienna over seven to eight months. In the twilight of his career, Bernstein was giving concerts and making recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic. “He just showed me that these big guys are normal guys,” Dawidow said. “You can talk with them. And you can see how they work. That was something that can be the best in a young conductor’s experience. “ As for Bernstein’s influence on him, Dawidow said, “He has proved to me the value of looking for the simplicity in music. In performing music, in dealing with all the people involved, you keep in mind that everything starts from the classics.” Dawidow has emphasized known masterworks he loves in the programs he’s leading on the current tour. The Carmel audience will hear the overture to “Euryanthe” by Carl Maria von Weber; Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7

Let your spirits soar – The Indiana Wind Symphony presents a new show called “By Air or by Sea.” Conductor Charles Conrad CARMEL invites listeners to venture onto the high seas and soar through the open skies with music of the symphony as their vessel. The inspiring performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Palladium in Carmel. Tickets start at $20. For more information, call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org. Fishers on Tap – Warm your insides during this third annual beer tasting event from 4 to 7 p.m. Feb. 22 at 11313 USA Parkway, FISHERS featuring more than 60 Indiana craft beers. General admission is $40; designated drivers pay $20. Sponsored by the Fishers Rotary Club, proceeds will benefit local service agencies. For more information, please go to www.fishersrotary.org. Stone Soup Suppers – When you throw just the right ingredients together and let them simmer, the results can be just NOBLESVILLE downright delectable. At Nickel Plate Arts’ Stone Soup Suppers, thoughtful, fun, fascinating people together are brought together to have “artful conversations” about creativity, community, humanity and more over a delicious dinner of soup, salad, sides and, of course, dessert. The Feb. 20 supper will feature up-and-coming local artists discussing “What art in Hamilton County could be” from 7 to 9 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Nickel Plate Arts Campus, 107 S. Eighth St. Cost is $50. For more information, call 452-3690.

Boguslaw Dawidow of Poland will conduct the Haifa Symphony Orchestra during its performance at the Palladium on Feb. 19. (submitted photo)

in A major; and with soloist Roman Rabinovich, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor. Audiences respond well to music they are likely to be familiar with, Dawidow said, and bringing programs consisting largely of wellknown compositions allows them to assess the quality of an orchestra they are unlikely to know. Israeli pianist Rabinovich will be the soloist in 20 of the Haifa orchestra’s U.S. concerts. At other stops he will play concertos by Beethoven and Rachmaninoff. The ensemble has another soloist on hand for the remainder of the concerts: violist Avshalom Sarid, who will be fea-

tured in a contemporary concerto by a fellow Israeli. Formed in 1950, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra offers a varied musical palette to audiences at its home base in northern Israel. It has bigband and opera affiliates, a Jewish music series, extensive children’s concerts and an educational component, in addition to its classical season. This is its first American tour.

Play tackles fading WASP culture By Terri Spilmam • editorial@youarecurrent.com Imagine if a dining room table handed down from generation to generation could tell stories about all the holidays, meals, theatre life-changing events and conversations that occurred while gathered around it. Carmel’s newest theater group, Carmel Theatre Company, will be presenting A.R. Gurney’s play “The Dining Room” which is written around that very idea. Director Ken Klingenmeier has cast three men and three women who play a total of 58 characters of all ages as “The Dining Room” travels its course through time. “The play is a study of Americans, primarily White Anglo Saxon Protestants who make up a large cross-section of our country,” Klingenmeier said. “It is about what that cross-section values both materialistically and emotionally.” The play was first presented in 1982, but its themes of clinging to tradition still resonate today. The cast shares the duties of the multiple characters in 18 short scenes that take place in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household. Each vignette portrays a different occasion and life circumstance among a family such as a father/son interaction on grammar and politics, the exposure of a mother’s infidelity, a senile grand-

A peek at future piano virtuosos By Terri Spilmam • editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Arts Council and Piano Solutions will present the 2014 Young Performers Showcase and competition on Feb. 22 music and 23. According to Carmel Arts Council Executive Director Doreen Squire Ficara, the two organizations launched the showcase in 1998 to give young students interested in the arts a chance to perform in front of an audience and help them build enough confidence to demonstrate their talents. This year, 130 musicians will be competing in their respective age groups with most playing piano. The students will be judged in five categories that include Mastery of Music, Dynamics, Rhythmic Accuracy, General Effect and Stage Presence as well as Technique. Event Coordinator Cheryl Everett, who specializes in print music resources and academic development at Piano Solutions selects collegiate judges from outside of the area so the students get an unbiased opinion of their performance. In addition to building the confidence of these young musicians, the showcase also builds a sense of community. “Playing the piano and practicing by themselves can be a lonely thing,” Everett said. “The showcase allows participants to be with other children, see that others are playing the piano

Showcase highlights student talent By Amanda Foust • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The musical abilities of more than 800 of Carmel’s students will be on display from 5 to 9 p.m. Feb. 27 when the Carmel Education Foundation hosts its annual Music Showcase. music Historically broadcast as part of a telethon, this year’s event will feature live performances by nine elementary schools and two middle school choirs, ensembles and a jazz band on a large stage. The foundation, whose mission is to give classroom grants to teachers, also will be collecting cash donations at the performance and pledges at a later date. All collected donations will be shared with the music departments of each participating school. “Our hope is to collect $1,000 or more the night of the event, and with our Bright House sponsorship we hope to give each participating school a minimum of $250 dollars,” said showcase chairwoman Janet Corbin. This free event is the 28th incarnation of the showcase and is expected to attract an audience of more than a thousand people, and the general public is encouraged to attend. And that’s not including the people who view it on Bright House Channel 99 during the telethon shown March 25, 26 and 27, Corbin said. She said the purpose behind this showcase is to highlight each school’s musicians in such a large venue.

“That’s really cool for them,” she said. “And it’s more than just a fundraiser, it’s more of a giving back event.” At the same time, CHS students are given experience in filming, editing and working as stage crew during the event. “The most important part is that the kids get to play on the high school stage,” said Lisa Sullivan, event organizer and Mohawk Trails music teacher. Sullivan has been guiding the event for the past 20 years and said its better now that kids can watch themselves play on TV instead of doing it live for a telethon. She also said they appreciate the chance to connect with their friends at other schools. “We’re very blessed with very talented kids,” she said. “It’s a fun night. And we hope the community would come see the kids perform and be encouraged to donate.”

Don’t hide your legs this summer Commentary by Dr. Jeffery Schoonover

DESIGN

Are you unhappy with your legs’ appearance? Do you avoid wearing clothing that shows your legs? Are you experiencing swellveins ing and discomfort in your legs? Do you have a network of spider veins crawling across your legs? Do you have bulging, twisted veins? This summer you can grab your shorts or bathing suit and enjoy the summer sun. When we have varicose vein disease, valves in our legs do not work properly and allow some of the venous blood to flow backward and pool in our legs, resulting in bulging veins and symptoms such as pain, swelling, tiredness or redness. If an individual has bulging veins or is suffering from discomfort, treatment may be required to relieve symptoms. Spider veins might not always cause discomfort, but can be a cosmetic concern. Diagnostic ultrasound vein mapping should be performed to determine the abnormal areas of blood flow in both legs. With that information, a comprehensive plan of treatment can be determined. Endovenous laser treatment is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. Using ultrasound guidance, a small laser fiber is inserted through the skin into the varicosed vein. Laser energy is delivered inside the vein, which causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. Once that vein is closed, the blood reroutes to other healthy

veins. This procedure is done in-office under local anesthetic. It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Following the procedure, patients wear a compression stocking on the treated leg. Most patients return to work within a day or two; many return to work the same day. EVLT may also be accompanied by sclerotherapy, which is a straightforward strategy to treat any residual, problematic veins. This procedure involves using a very small needle to inject a solution into the veins, which cause them to collapse and disappear. Beyond the obvious health benefits of treatment is the legs’ improved appearance. If you are experiencing symptoms of varicose veins or are bothered by your legs’ cosmetic appearance, a consultation is important. Treatment is easy and will dramatically improve your quality of life. Jeffery P. Schoonover, M.D., FAAFP, RVT, RPVI, practices with the Indiana Vein Specialists, 11876 Olio Road, Suite 700, Fishers.

Opt for super-fatted soaps in winter – The same products that keep your face looking fresh in the spring and summer may cause skin problems during winter. Choose a gentle, super-fatted, fragrance-free soap for cleansing. Super-fatted means the soap is loaded with oils to keep skin moisturized. – www.webmd.com Stop those wrinkles – One surprising way you might be aging your skin: drinking through a straw. Sure, it looks more ladylike to sip your beverages, but repeatedly pursing your lips can cause wrinkling around your mouth. While not noticeable when you’re young, these lines become more pronounced as you age and your skin weakens. – www.living.msn.com Effectively treat frostbite – Make sure you cover up even that little bit of bare skin in temperatures below freezing; frostbite can occur within just five minutes due to wind chill. When frostbite occurs, soak skin for 30 minutes in warm, not hot, water until the skin is soft and flexible. Although standing near a fireplace may be temping, don’t — the exposed skin can easily become burned. – www. webmd.com

Too much money in a 401(k)? Commentary by Mark Wade

Under current IRS rules, every person holding money in one or more retirement accounts must begin withdrawing some of that Finance money each year starting in the year he turns age 70½. This may seem like a long time from now based upon your current age, but the planning for this required distribution from these accounts should begin years before that date. If you have accumulated a large sum of money in your retirement accounts, you might even want to begin this process as early as age 50. That’s because it’s possible that you have too much money in your qualified accounts, which could cause a tax issue during retirement. Not taking the required minimum payout could cause a penalty of half the amount you should have removed, but did not remove, from your accounts. Part of this puzzle is that you may have tax liability during retirement if your income from dividends, other income or IRA withdrawals, exceeds $24,000 per year. To reduce this tax liability in retirement, it may be wise to begin withdrawing funds from your qualified accounts long before you reach the required distribution. A person who has more than $300,000 in qualified money at age 50 should see a financial

advisor to calculate what the expected required distribution would be at age 70½. Remember that after 20 years of investing, your $300,000 could easily become $600,000 or even well over $1 million if you made wise investment decisions. If, for example, you have $600,000 sitting in your accounts at age 70, you would be required to withdraw $21,897 in the first year of distribution. This might not be a big deal unless your growth on that account exceeds the minimum distribution. Those of you who were brave enough to be in the stock market the past 24 months probably made a return that could be in the range of 5 to 35 percent. If your money was sitting in a savings account at the bank, your return was probably less than 1 percent. At age 76, if you still have $600,000 in qualified money, your minimum distribution would be $27,272. This would put you into a taxable situation under current rules. Your growth each year would require you to continue to withdraw increasing amounts of money, increasing your tax liability. For this reason, some individuals will need to begin withdrawing funds from their accounts at a much earlier age. Mark R. Wade is vice president of Bankers’ Bank of Carmel, located at 716 Adams St., Suite B. He can be contacted at MWade@bankersbankusa.com.

CURTIS ROBERT CLIFFORD

“Life Motto: Be the reason someone else smiles.”

Saturday evening, Curtis was fulfilling a dream by taking a ride in a helicopter with dear friends. His typical evening: friends, food and fun. Unfortunately, the evening came to a close with an experience none of his family and friends have yet to be able to comprehend. Curtis was born September 21st, 1960 in Little Rock, Arkansas, the second son, but, as he was fond of saying, only chronologically. Curtis’ life would involve moves to Atlanta, Richmond, Carmel, Lake Oswego, Carmel, Toronto and finally 28 years ago to Tallahassee. And the fun began. An Avid FSU fan and tailgater without par. Curtis made Tallahassee his town to love and work to make better. Each city left memories and fun…those same friends are still in place. On March 27th, 1993, Curtis and his wife Susan (Bladge) welcomed his first son, Joshua Alexander with great joy which has been growing ever since. In keeping with the Clifford tradition, another son, Michael Curtis, would make his appearance November 9th, 1996, again, joy was the only way to describe Curtis’ mood. Bursting with joy might best describe the next event in May of 2001 when Kim Parker became Curtis’ wife and her Kaytlin became his daughter. In a search for words to describe Curtis’ work experience the only ones that come to mind are Sales Extraordinaire. If some one made it, Curtis could sell it and love doing it because he saw the whole experience as helping others. And so, the helicopter came down and ended the joy but nothing can take away the memories, the family, the friends, the business associates or the fun. A celebration of Curtis’ life and times will be held Friday, February 14th at 3 PM at the Bradfordville First Baptist Church, 6494 Thomasville Road in Tallahassee followed by a time of joy and telling Curtis’ stories at SummerBrook Golf and Country Club, 7505 Preservation Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32312. Curtis is survived by his wife, Kim Parker Clifford; his sons Joshua Alexander, Michael Curtis and his daughter Kaytlin Ashley Smallwood-Clifford, all of Tallahassee; the mother of his boys, Susan Bladge Clifford of Tallahassee; his parents Ron and Judi Clifford of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina; two brothers: Rogers (Connie) of Hilton Head Island and Doug (Lisa) of Havana, Florida; a sister Leslie Robinson (Ken) also of Hilton Head; nephews: Ben and Alex Clifford of the US Army Rangers; Sam and Jesse Clifford of Carmel, Indiana; Troy Clifford and Ty Robinson of Hilton Head; two nieces: Jacey Robinson and Hanna Clifford of Hilton Head; an Uncle Drew (Becky) Rogers of Little Rock, Arkansas; a Grandmother Betty Rogers Canaday of Hilton Head; and a huge host of friends…you know who you are….Curtis made sure of that. He is pre-deceased by his older brother, David Clifford of Carmel, Indiana. The family requests, in lieu of flowers, donations be sent in Curtis’ name to the ALS Association of Indiana, 6525 East 82nd Street, Suite 115, Indianapolis, Indiana, in honor of Curtis’ brother David. Bevis Funeral Home, 850-385-2193, www.bevisfh.com, is assisting the family with their arrangements.

A few days ago I faced a small tiling project that demanded a simple, unadorned tile. It was a small, boxy hearth that decorating had a fabulous piece of art perched above the mantle. The project had to be completed over the weekend, so my tile sources were limited. Also, I was out of town, so I was unfamiliar with the “good places” in the area! I ended up at a chain home store in search of a benign tile that would recede and allow the fireplace mantle and art to star! A well-meaning employee showed me options that would meet my needs with a minimum of cuts since I don’t do wet saws! When I continued to migrate to the simple tiles, he redirected me to a multicolor glass option. He insisted that I should make my project “the focal point” of the room. I bit my tongue at the thought of making a box at the base of my fireplace the focal point at the expense of other fabulous options. I loaded my cart with my blah tile and headed for the checkout. This innocent conversation shed light on the fact that although most understand the basic concept of a focal point, they don’t understand how to use this critical design tool to create a fabulous room. Technically, a focal point is defined as the

point at which all elements or aspects converge; the center of activity or attention. This leads to the question, just what should be the center of attention in a space? The best focal points are often born of an incredible view from a window, a large piece of high-contrast art, or a fabulous fireplace in the center of the room. When you enter a space, stop for a moment and look around. What is the first thing your eyes rest upon? Typically, this is the focal point. If there is no strong focal point in the room, it is time to create one! Do this by deciding what stands out as the most interesting feature of the room … even if it does not qualify as a focal point. If there is no fireplace to build upon, the focal point could be a collection arranged on the center of a table, a large painting or rich window treatments that embellish a ho-hum window. Limiting color contrast to the area selected as the focal point will help to ensure success. Although a television is often easily visible from the seating arrangement, it is not an aesthetic focal point. It is a functional appliance and should be treated as such.

COLOR CODING: WHICH SHADE IS RIGHT FOR YOU? Are you considering switching up your shade for spring? Here are a few tips to keep hair color transition natural, beautiful, and worry-free. Enlist a Trained Professional Always get your color done by a professional. It can be hard to apply product evenly throughout hair and even harder to judge processing time when your experience in color is limited. Take the fuss and mess out of at-home dyeing by scheduling your appointment with one of our stylists at Salon 01. Our unique color bar and personal consultations will make you feel right at home- without the unwanted cleanup! If you’re thinking blonde… If you were blonde as a child or if you had a lighter hue that was blonde by summer’s end you may have the skin tone to pull off those light locks. Think about regular maintenance, though. Blonde hair must be taken care of and touched up more frequently, depending on the shade of your natural hair color. If you’re thinking red… Almost anyone can pull off red hair. The trick is in the specific hue of red. To find a red that fits perfectly with your skin tone, have a personalized consultation with one of our Salon 01 stylists! They will formulate a red individually for you. If you’re thinking brunette… Typically, if you are not naturally blonde, brown hair upkeep is fairly easy. This is a good choice for people that would rather not spend too much time fussing over colored hair. A tip from Marie Claire {To maximize the impact of your chocolaty color, go deeper and monotone if your hair is nearly all one length. If it's shorter or very layered, make the ends slightly lighter, and weave in high- and lowlights to emphasize the texture of the cut. }

EXTENSIONS: ARE THEY RIGHT FOR YOU? Thinking long hair could be right for you? Salon 01 has a Dream Team made up of specially trained stylists in HairDreams hair extensions. Hairdreams has been a worldwide leading provider of real, human hair extensions for many years. The Hairdreams philosophy includes a strict quality orientation. Only absolutely healthy, thoroughly tested hair passes the stringent Hairdreams quality control process and is subsequently gently refined. The result: excellent hair quality which, in the meantime, has become the Hairdreams “trademark”. Proof of this outstanding quality is the Hairdreams guarantee of faultless hair appearance during the entire wearing period. The prerequisite is simply maintenance and necessary care measures and the regular aftercare at your Hairdreams salon.. Hairdreams works with leading stylists around the world, including many top stylists in metropolises such as Milan, Paris, or New York, who regularly style celebrities, actresses, singers and models with hair from Hairdreams. Every Hairdreams stylist is intensively trained by an experienced educator and regularly takes continuing education to keep up with the latest application techniques. To learn more about the hair extension process or to book an appointment with a member of the Salon 01 Dream Team, call 317-580-0101.

HEAVY METAL It’s a great look, when it’s done right. Other times, a metallic eye shadow can look flaky, or even too outdated. Instead of passing on this trend all together, though, take our advice for applying the perfect metal shade for you. Step One - Sweep the shadow of your choice across your lids, being sure to stay below the brow bones. Step Two - Lightly line your eyes with a black eye pencil. Use more pressure at the outer corners to really make eyes pop. Step Three - Brighten up the inner corners by dabbing a lighter shadow. For more makeup tips and trends, visit one of Salon 01’s estheticians! Call 580-0101 to book your consultation today.

‘The Pyramids’ Stepping-stones’ Commentary by Don Knebel

Egypt’s larger-than-life pyramids continue to generate speculation about their origins, ranging from the extraterrestrial to the travel supernatural. Even the Egyptians once posited a divine explanation. The stepped pyramid at Saqqara shows that the real story is closer to Earth. Believing that souls live on after death, Egyptians initially buried their important dead and their possessions in underground tombs covered by “mastabas.” Mastabas, made first of mud bricks and then of stones, were solid, flat-topped structures up to 30 feet high with gradually sloping sides. A passage to a special chamber inside allowed priests and family members to bring offerings to the person buried below for use in the afterlife. In about 2650 B.C., Imhotep, the palace architect of Pharaoh Djoser, came up with a new idea for his boss’s tomb at Saqqara, the burial ground serving the capital at Memphis. He covered the underground tomb with six stacked mastabas of diminishing size, creating a stepped pyramid made entirely of stone. For designing what was then the largest stone structure ever built, Imhotep was later worshipped as a god. Seeing the stepped pyramid, Pharaoh Snefru

ordered that his pyramid eliminate the steps and support his tomb above the ground so it would be closer to the sun god. About two-thirds of the way to the apex, engineers had to reduce the angle of inclination from 55 to 43 degrees to eliminate stability problems created by the internal tomb chamber. The result was the socalled “bent pyramid.” On the next try, Snefru’s engineers started with a 43-degree angle and succeeded in creating the first “true pyramid,” with smooth sides and a constant angle. This so-called “red pyramid” may contain still-secret passages leading to the undiscovered mummy of Snefru. Using Snefru’s model, his son Khufu took the pyramid-building art to its pinnacle in the Great Pyramid of Giza, still the most massive structure ever built. No little green men, no magical powers, no unsolvable mysteries. Egypt’s pyramid builders drew on past successes, learned from earlier mistakes and achieved lasting greatness. That is the real secret of the pyramids. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit currentzionsville.com.

Creating a comfortable kitchen in a walk-out basement

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing kitchen: This home located on a secluded lot overlooking Morse Reservoir was no longer suited to blueprint for the way the homeimprovement owner lived. “I began making the walk-out basement more of my living space. The kitchen there was closed and non-functional. I wanted to create a comfortable and cozy space, a place where you want to come in and sit down.” Hickory cabinets: The design reflected the natural surroundings. “The designer suggested natural hickory cabinets,” stated the owner. “I didn’t want a contemporary or modern look.” The cabinets gave the natural farmhouse feel the owner was looking for. The existing drywall bulkheads were removed, allowing for a more open feel. New exhaust fan ductwork was concealed in the ceiling for the new microwave. Island as contrast: To create a contrast for the natural cabinetry, the island is stained in an espresso finish. Black Pearl granite in a leather finish also provides contrast from the White Persia granite on the perimeter cabinetry. Seating for four makes the island the true center of the kitchen. Farmhouse look: The farmhouse look was continued in the details as well. “I have always wanted a farmhouse sink,” stated the home-

before & after

Final details: New appliances in black and matte stainless steel were installed, as well as a wine refrigerator and under-cabinet lighting. Updated storage solutions were also part of the final design, including a mixer lift, a built-in spice rack and double-layered utensil drawers. Finally, new 6-inch-wide hand-scraped maple engineered hardwood flooring was installed over the concrete slab.

owner. A plate rack was installed over the sink and glass doors in a few of the wall cabinets. An oil-rubbed bronze finish on the cabinet hardware and faucet provides a hint of copper that compliments the natural hickory. Copper pendant lights complete the feel.
