OLD TOWN TAVERN OWNER AND CARMEL RESIDENT BRUCE CALABRESE HAS SEEN TREMENDOUS CHANGE ON THE STREET HIS BAR CALLS HOME By Brandie Bohney Current in Carmel

Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Much to his parents’ dismay, Bruce Calabrese always knew he’d own a bar someday. He wouldn’t have guessed it would be in Carmel when he was growing up near Newark, N.J., but owning a bar was in his blood nonetheless. “I grew up in the bar business; my family owned a bar,” he says. “I started washing glasses when I was 6 years old.” The Old Town Tavern (29 W. Main St.) is Calabrese’s livelihood, not a hobby. And it’s a livelihood he enjoys in spite of the long and somewhat unusual hours. “I work with good people, and I have good clients, good customers,” he says. To some, Calabrese is affectionately known as the “Mayor of Main Street.” It’s easy to understand why. As we sit and chat at one of the tables in front of the Old Town Tavern, more than half of the people who walk by greet him. He pets the dogs that go by, chats with shoppers, and converses as much with business owners he knows as with residents and visitors he doesn’t. His beer sales rep chats with him for quite a while. The conversation wanders from beer sales to the speed limit on Keystone to golf. She asks me what the topic of my article will be, and when I tell her it’s Bruce, she responds, “The man, the myth, the legend?” The tavern has been around since the mid-1970s, and Calabrese has owned it since 1989, making him one of the

longest-standing business owners on the street. The tavern itself is well-known to the community, too. “I am now the oldest tavern in Carmel,” Calabrese says. “I think I’m the oldest business on this block.” Calabrese has a number of secrets to the longevity of his business; one is treating people fairly. “I treat everybody fair, but I don’t treat everybody the same,” he says. “I’m not the nicest guy to everybody. I try to treat people right, and I don’t have a lot of trouble here. . . it’s not the roughneck place it was 30 years ago.” He adds that avoiding the draw of greed is another key: “If you get greedy, you’ll get yourself in trouble … it’s just not worth it. That’s why I’ve been here 21 years, and I’m fine.” Plus, Calabrese is a born competitor. “I’m very competitive,” Calabrese says, laughing. He continues with a wide grin, “I love beating up my competitors.” The bar isn’t his only mark on Carmel, though. Calabrese is also a member of the Carmel Clay School Board, a position he is both proud of and takes very seriously. The impending selection of a new superintendent is very much on his mind. “We’ll get applicants from all over the United States,” he says, and goes on to explain that most will be outstanding, and the decision will be difficult. His school board term is up next July, though, and that, he says, is when he’ll really start considering retirement. Even then, though, his schedule won’t be empty. He’ll fill it with his current off-duty passions: golf and travel.

… ON MAYOR JIM BRAINARD

“You really have to admire Jim Brainard for his vision. Jim and I have gotten along over the years. We’ve gone nose to nose a couple of times; we’ve had our disagreements. But for the most part, he understands. Again, it’s a vision.”

… ON CARMEL’S CHANGING face

“The bottom line: The roundabouts are good, the Keystone project is good, (the Arts & Design District) is good, City Center is good – they’re all good things. Unfortunately, there seems to be a perception about the funding. I went to a city council meeting the other day, and … you have to keep on asking questions to get answers.”

… ON EXPANDING THE OLD TOWN TAVERN

Because Calabrese owns the building that houses his tavern and the vacant spce next door, many have asked why he doesn’t expand the bar. “I’m happy in my little cubby hole; I don’t have to be bigger – not that I’m retired and not that I don’t need the money, but I’m not going to kill myself.”

On the other hand, he has considered opening a separate bar in the vacant space: “One with a different atmosphere.” Photo by CW Photography

OUR TAKES It is our position that Secure ID, the Indiana BMV’s effort to comply with anti-terrorism recommendations, is necessary and welcome. As stated by the 911 Commission, “All but one of the 9/11 hijackers acquired some form of U.S. identification document, some by fraud. Acquisition of these forms of identification would have assisted them in boarding commercial flights, renting cars and other necessary activities.” In addition, the Federal Trade Commission reports that identity theft was the most reported consumer complaint in 2008 – a significant increase over the year before. Beginning Jan. 1, 2010, Indiana BMV

slipping standards

customers will need to bring original versions or certified copies of source documents to obtain, renew, amend or replace a driver’s license, permit or ID card. The original intent of the BMV was to simply regulate motor vehicles and drivers. Critics decry the increasing government involvement and loss of civil liberties. Some worry there will be more uninsured drivers. Plating of vehicles requires proof of auto insurance. Onus is on the BMV to ease the bureaucratic red tape. Although a flawless system does not yet exist, measures taken to increase national security and the protection of citizen identities is a step in the right direction.

It is our position that we have allowed the standard of good citizenship to slip in our society. In an era of communication via text message and e-mail, we seem to be losing our social skill set when interacting with real human beings. Words have power; and we should use them for positive impact. “Please” and “thank you” have never gone out of style. Dressing for success at a job interview, opening the door for a stranger and putting down the cell phone in the check-out line can leave a lasting impression. Even the seemingly lost art of a handwritten thank-you note speaks volumes about

your character. As the world becomes more crowded and diverse, we must work to revitalize our humanity through simple acts. Technology has made it convenient to live and work without real interpersonal contact. That in itself is not troubling. Self-serve gasoline and text messaging can add great efficiency to life. However, these devices do not excuse rude and inappropriate behavior in face-to-face interaction. We cannot treat the teller the same as the ATM. Tact and decorum should remain sacrosanct. We should not only expect good citizenship, but we should also teach and reinforce it.

ANTI-AGING

SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT MY MOLE? By Dr. David Sullivan Current in Westfield

Q: Dr. Sullivan, I have what I believe is just a mole on my foot, but my husband tells me I need to have it checked out. It is fairly new, but it looks like a typical brown mole or freckle. Do I really need to have this examined? A: This is an excellent question that sheds light on a topic that is often overlooked. The one definite answer for your question is that no one knows for sure 100 percent of the time what a lesion on the skin is unless it is examined under a microscope by a pathologist. That is why educating yourself on what to look for and protecting yourself from the sun are so important. There are several things that you can look for yourself that can raise or lower your level of suspicion about this “mole.” • Asymmetry. Normal moles are usually round or oval. • Borders. Normal moles have even borders. • Color. Normal moles are usually a consistent shade of brown.

Diameter. Normal moles are usually less than a quarter-inch and do not grow. • Evolution. Normal moles remain the same for years. This description is specific for malignant melanoma. Other skin cancers may have red patches with open or bleeding crusts or scabs that heal and re-open. They may appear wart-like or have a scar-like appearance that is white, yellow or waxy. To accurately diagnose a skin lesion, a biopsy is taken in the office with local anesthesia. If it is small enough, the entire lesion is usually excised. If it is a larger lesion, a 2-millimeter punch biopsy is done. The lesion is then sent to the lab, which reports on it in 3-5 days. This will dictate care from that point on.

REVIVE YOUR BRAIN

11 health watch

Around the time we hit 30, our brains begin a slow, steady downward trajectory, or so popular wisdom would have it. But cognitive decline is by no means an inescapable side effect of aging. In fact, according to a flurry of new reports, you can counteract age-related changes in the brain with a surprisingly simple regimen of activities guaranteed to nurture and fortify your mental musclepower. Here are seven easy ways to keep your brain quick, sharp, and bristling with youthful vigor. 1. Google often. When you search the Internet, you engage key centers in your brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning. 2. Exercise. Yes, exercise can stave off or delay dementia, but did you know it can actually reverse brain aging too? 3. Brush and floss. Oral health is clearly linked to brain health, according to a team of British psychiatrists and dentists. 4. Drink sparingly. Limiting cocktails is beneficial for cognitive function. 5. Eat blueberries. New research

shows the purple-hued fruits may help sharpen your thought processes. 6. Do puzzles. Amazingly, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll knock a decade off your cognitive age. 7. Meditate. More than just a great stress reliever, meditation can also enhance your brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gray matter.

PUFFY EYE RELIEF - Puffy, tired eyes make a statement, for sure, but not the one you probably want to make. To revive your eyes, consider tea bags.

letter ‘s’ is a problem By Brandie Bohney Current in Carmel

Scrabble is one of my favorite board games. I’m a “wordie” (a person who loves words), and I’m good at Scrabble. My husband is also good at Scrabble, but not for the same reason: He’s a math guy, and he’s good at figuring out how best to use the letters he has for maximum points. If we could be a Scrabble team, we’d be unstoppable. In any case, the letter “s” is fantastic in scrabble. Sure, it’s only one point, but it’s great for pluralizing when you don’t have another move to make. And in real life, “s” is a great letter, too. Unfortunately, the use of “s” at the end of words is a bit of a stumbling block for many people. I know what you must be thinking. You’re thinking, “She’s covering plurality and possession; I just know it.” You’re wrong. I get frequent requests for another column on plurality and possession, and I have plans for a couple future columns on the topic, but this is not one of them. There are a few words that cause usage arguments because of the letter “s.” One of those words is toward. Quite a few people really dislike the use of towards and vehemently insist it’s an incorrect or nonstandard form. It’s not, though.

Use of towards is apparently more standard in British English than American English, but it’s correct in both. Similarly, toward is more commonly used in the U.S. than England, but it’s acceptable in either locale. Backward and backwards have the same situation: Lots of people don’t like one use or the other, but for almost every use, they’re both correct. The exception for backward is when it is used as an adjective rather than an adverb. So it’s acceptable to ask, “Did you know the car is rolling backwards down the hill?” but not, “Have you ever been to his backwards little town?” If you don’t want to have to remember which is used when, or if you’re a little rusty in identifying adverbs versus adjectives, just stick with backward all the time. On the other hand, anyway should never have an “s.” Ever. And regard should only have an “s” when referring to expressions of sentiment: “Give your family my regards.” Brandie Bohney is a grammar enthusiast and former English teacher who developed a mastery-learning system of teaching grammar to high school seniors. If you have a grammarrelated question, please email her at bbthegrammarguru@gmail.com.

should be honest with your daughter and son-in-law and let them know there are times that:

1. You want your grandkids to know you as their grandmother and not just somebody who comes around when their parents are out. You’re an extension, not a substitute. 2. You have a life of your own that includes babysitting if it fits into your free-time schedule.

It’s the push-pull theory. Grandparents are likely to be pushed away when it doesn’t suit the kids and then pulled into situations when the kids feel they need them. A good approach to take, as a grandparent, is to remember what it was like when you were either a parent or parentin-law. What was your relationship with your children’s grandparents and what did you feel were their responsibilities to you and your kids? You may find you did some push/pulling of your own, and if it’s honest, above board and cooperative, babysitting a little or a lot becomes your choice. Hugs!

reader asks, “Is it my responsibility as a grandmother to babysit the grandkids whenever my daughter and son-in-law feel the need to go out, or do I have the right to say, ‘I’m sorry.

BOOK REVIEW North River

By Pete Hamill The Great Depression has stained New York with soup kitchens, malaria, tuberculosis, hunger and despair. The wife of Dr. James Delaney, a WWI veteran, has abandoned him, and his daughter has run off chasing a dream of social revolution, taking her child out of his life. Delaney has only his daily routine of hospital rounds, office calls, house calls, caring for gangsters, prostitutes and drunks, all for little or no compensation. Time passes and one day he finds a 3-year-old boy in a stroller in front of his house with a note from his daughter, professing a need to go off and find her terrorist husband. Delaney now has a reason to press on with life. Trying to find his daughter, discovering his wife’s fate, and caring for his abandoned grandson lead Delaney on a poignant journey. New Yorker Pete Hamill has researched his hometown and writes with a sense of realism of a gritty, desperate time in history. His description of the raw poverty and desolation leaves the reader thankful that he no longer has to face the incurable diseases and uncertainties that were urban New York during the Great Depression.

‘TIS THE SEASON FOR WINE!

wo wine lovers with one mission, and we want to bring you into the fold. No formal training – we just taste a lot of wines. How did we get started down this hedonistic path? We love food and we love entertaining, both perfectly complimented by serving wine. We have much fun finding a good wine at a good value. And everyone is looking Mo Merhoff & for a good value. Luci Snyder Some recommendations: • LOS VASCOS CHARDONNAY. Un-oaked and crisp but neither sharp nor buttery, this is our favorite basic white wine. At $11.99, it’s a bargain at Hamilton Beverage or Vine and Table. • OLIVER RIESLING or SAUVIGNON BLANC. Light and fruity, these citrusy and slightly acidic wines are perfect with summer fruit and cheese plates. $10 just about anywhere, including your local Marsh. • KIM CRAWFORD SUAVIGNON BLANC. From Marlborough New Zealand, this one is light and smooth with a floral fragrance. $14.89 to $16.98 at Costco and Hamilton Beverage. • CHAUTEAU ST MICHELLE EROICA RIESLING. From Washington state, this Riesling is very light and pleasant; almost sweet, it’s a great starting point for wine

exploration. $19.99 at Costco • VENTANA GEWURZTRAMINER 2004. This wine was the star of a recent wine tasting that was supposed to showcase the red wines. Everyone loved this unusual fruity and spicy summer favorite. $16.99 at Hamilton Beverage • DON OLEGARIO ALBARINO. Wine lovers, this cutting edge selection is for you. The albarino grape gives this lovely white an almost floral fragrance, but then as you taste there’s grapefruit and white fruit with a long and vivid finish. It’s $19.99 at Classic Spirits.

Have fun exploring wine. You may contact wine lovers Luci Snyder at lsnyder1@indy.rr.com and Mo Merhoff- mm@ carmelchamber.com.

exploring feelings, faith and god

hat’s the difference between feelings and faith?” George, my scholar friend and neighbor, posed this seemingly simple question recently to an advanced Biblical studies group that included pastors, orthodox priests, teachers, a psychologist, a Biblical counselor (therapist), a couple of physicians and some other highfunctioning lay people. No one had a sure answer. Nor did I, upon hearing the question later. I’ve written about George before. He is a Bible translator, a renowned church historian with a PhD from Cambridge, an expert in classical languages and world religions, a former priest and longtime university lecturer, and a

trained psychotherapist, and today he lives a gentle, quiet life with his wife and their many friends in the northern suburbs of Indianapolis. I recap George’s qualifications to underscore his credibility, and as an antecedent to presenting his elegantly simple parsing of “feelings” and “faith.” Feelings begin in our ego and return to our ego. Faith starts in our ego but finishes up somewhere outside ourselves. “Ego” is one of those words that seems antithetical to Christianity. The ego is about “me,” the “self,” and aren’t I supposed to “die to self ” to become an obedient Christian? Isn’t the ego the root of evil because it is the root of our innate, earthly, sinful self? How can the ego be the root of faith, when I want to “kill” my ego

to be a better Christian? Surveying the Cross, the Apostle Paul instructs (Romans 6:6) that our “old self ” was crucified, not killed; freed from sin, not enslaved. “In this Christian sense, ‘to crucify’ is an act of love, while killing is an act of hate,” George explains. “The ego isn’t to be destroyed; it must be redeemed and made alive.” What about killing our ego? “That’s more a Buddhist belief of emptiness, not a Christian belief of creativity,” George notes. “Christ created us, and The Holy Spirit gives the ego life so we can discover our abilities and creativity.” So, be careful what you try to kill. Without our self, we can’t reach out to God. Walters (rlwcom@aol.com), for simplicity’s sake, will leave the Freudian id-ego-superego troika alone.

FELINE DISTEMPER - Panleukopenia (feline distemper, FPV) is caused by a virus very similar to the one that causes parvovirus disease in dogs. It is very stable in the environment and can survive years at room temperature. It survives well in lower temperatures as well, and is not killed by many of the common disinfectants. Contact with a bleach solution of one part bleach to 32 parts water for 10 minutes will inactivate the virus. FPV is most commonly transmitted when a susceptible cat has contact with the feces or urine of infected cats. Infected cats shed the virus in their feces and urine up to 6 weeks after they recover. FPV can also be spread by contact with urine- or feces-contaminated items such as food bowls, water dishes, clothing, shoes, hands, bedding, and litter boxes. Kittens should be vaccinated at regular intervals to prevent FPV. - www.peteducation.com

CANINE CADIDA: WHAT YOU CAN DO By John Mikesell Current in Carmel

Canine Candida is a yeast infection generally resulting from an allergic reaction to an antibiotic or other treatment. Here’s what you can do to stop it. • Avoid feeding your dog grain-based or high-carb pet foods. • Starve or destroy Candida and detoxify the body with diet and supplements. • Resist giving your dog antibiotics for minor infections or anytime they are not absolutely necessary. • Re-establish your dog’s population of beneficial bacteria with pro-biotic supplements. • Persevere. Candida infections are difficult to eliminate.

Like all yeasts, Candida thrives on sugars, including from grains, starches and other carbohydrates. Beneficial bacteria

metabolize sugars, which keeps Candida in check by disrupting food supply. A shortage of beneficial bacteria results in a sugar-rich environment and an abundance of Candida albicans. Candida symptoms are often misdiagnosed as allergies, manifesting as rashes or skin outbreaks on the feet, face, underarm, underbelly, or genital areas. Recurring hot spots or infections of the ears, eyes, bladder, or urinary tract can be caused by Candida overgrowth. Probiotics are popular treatments for Candida infections, but proper timing is important. Feeding large amounts of acidophilus and other probiotics doesn’t help a dog whose system is overwhelmed by Candida. Prophylactic treatment is always best. Switching a Candida-infected dog from grain-based kibble to a grain-free, starchfree, low-carbohydrate diet is an easy way to reduce a dog’s population of Candida

albicans. Be sure to check with your holistic vet or pet supplier for treatments for yeast infections John Mikesell, owner of Love of Dogs Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at john.mikesell@ att.net.

pets of the week Bear is a 1-year-old male red shepherd mix. He is a very special boy who struggled through several months of his young life. He was seized by local animal control officers due to neglect by his previous owner. Bear arrived extremely thin and he battled through a few weeks of an upper respiratory infection. Bear is neutered, and despite being neglected, he is still very social and friendly. One thing Bear does need to work on is his passion for food. Until this behavior can be corrected, Bear is best suited in a home with older children who will let him eat in peace. Bear is a good boy and hopes you will fall in love with his precious smile and give him a chance to know what it is like to be a beloved family pet. McKenzie is a 1-year-old female dilute tortie DSH. She is a sweet little girl who has been at the shelter for almost a year. She has grown up there and is desperate to find a loving home.

PETS NEED SHADE, TOO! - Dogs, cats, and even horses with sparse hair and light colored hair and skin are more susceptible to sun related diseases. Sunburn is painful in animals just as in people, and it is recommended to keep your pet or horse out of the sun especially during the summer from 10 am to 4 pm. Horses can be protected in a barn; even a shade tree can really help. Dogs don’t have to be kept inside as long as you have shaded areas in the yard. There are numerous cancers that can affect the skin of animals and most are related to sun exposure. Sunscreen can be used on animals but may be difficult to use in a haired area. Also, you must be careful the pet does not lick the sunscreen as it could be hazardous. There are even sun suits available for your pet to prevent skin exposure, although the pet may get hot in these or may chew them off. - www.veterinarypartner.com

“Well, excuse me for working here for 25 years, Mr. big newspaper columnist, Dick Wolfsie. Policy is policy. And according to that policy I will deduct $25 from your account. Have a nice day.” That’s what used to happen. Now here’s my new approach: “I am so ignorant about these things. Forgive me for being such a dolt. I wouldn’t blame you if you penalized me

twice – once for being overdrawn and once for just being so incredibly spacey.” “Oh, Sir, don’t be so hard on yourself. Life is too short. We all make mistakes. Here, I’ll just transfer the money from your other account. No penalty. You just have a wonderful day. And this time, I mean it.” Yes, playing dumb has really been an effective technique, helping me to navigate a

complex world with a simple mind. People feel sorry for me and want to show their own competence. I could give you some additional tips on how to make other people do things for you, too, but why give away all my secrets for free? I’m not stupid, you know.

ometimes when I get into a verbal scrap with a friend, he’ll say, “What makes you think you’re so smart?” It’s a good question. The truth is that I am incredibly dense about so many things. And I feel like it’s getting worse every day. I used to understand movies, but ever since “The Sound of Music,” I’ve been perpetually perplexed. Even that movie confused me a little. Why was everyone singing in Dick Wolfsie the middle of a war? Humor Lately (since l972), I haven’t felt very smart. When I graduated from college, there were about 7 million books I hadn’t had a chance to read. Now it’s probably up to 8 million. and I feel like I am falling further behind every day. I never tell anyone what book I’m reading, because I’m scared to death they’ll ask what it’s about. I just finished a bestseller by Steven Pinker, the Harvard neurolinguistics professor who has written an insightful look at how language affects our daily lives. Right now you pretty much know as much about the book as I do and I spent a month plowing through it. Maybe you went to a movie, instead. I wish I had thought of that. And maybe you could have explained the ending to me. My family is going to Europe this summer, and I rented recorded books from the library about Greek and Roman history. I’ve listened to this particular CD three times in the car and all I remember is that, um, er….seriously, I can’t remember one thing. I ended up renting “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” so now I’m not totally ignorant about that part of the world. One thing I have learned is that the best way to convince people to help you get by day to day and to forgive your inadequacies is to boldly admit that you are a little thick about things, even if you have to pretend. And if you really are stupid, well, that’s even better. I used to take this holier than thou, smart as a whip attitude with customer service people. I wanted them to know they couldn’t put anything over on me. “Mr. Wolfsie, this is Fifth-Third Bank. It looks like you are overdrawn.” “That’s impossible. I took advantage of a three-day lapse between when I pay a bill and when the funds clear. This is legal under Indiana Statute and the guidelines your institution published. I wasn’t born yesterday. What do you think you are trying to pull?”
