OUR VIEWS

It is our position that those crossing the Monon, both pedestrians and motorists need to understand the laws in Hamilton County. On the Monon, pedestrians are expected to yield to motorists, not the other way around. The confusion regarding this fact continues to make the trail more dangerous for all involved. We find, all too often, that either a motorist will stop and incorrectly allow someone to cross the Monon or cyclists or rollerbladers will proceed without waiting for traffic. Whether a motorist or pedestrian, it’s all too dangerous to navigate without a uniform standard. Even with stop signs on many trail intersections, cyclists dart across the roads without looking, often causing drivers to slow down or make an abrupt and dangerous stop – increasing the risk of causing an accident with another driver. We understand the human factor in motorists wanting to be nice and stopping to let someone advance, but officials argue traffic will flow more smoothly and safely if all follow the same standard. We’re not encouraging drivers to speed through the intersections, but to slow down just enough to be able to stop if absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if everyone follows the rules, all will be secure and efficient.

School zones rule

It is our position that school is back in session so drivers should be mindful of the safety of our children by following school zone-related rules of the road. The wheels on the bus are turning once again, bringing an end to summer’s much-enjoyed lightening of rush hour traffic. Sure, it’s an inconvenience. However, the lives of our children are literally at stake. The start of school means more children on sidewalks, driveways and in crosswalks. Drivers should always yield to a child because many children don’t fully understand the dangers of traffic - think “Kids Dart.“ Flashing yellow lights in school zones serve as a reminder for drivers to slow down. Whether we like it or not, school buses make frequent stops and are required by law to adhere to lower speed limits. School buses also are required to come to a complete stop at all railroad crossings. So when you see flashing red lights on a school bus and the stop arm is extended, please stop. Violators could be fined, face jail time or, even worse, hit a child. Procedures for safe student drop-offs and pick-ups should also be followed in school parking lots. This school year, please keep our kids safe.

FROM THE BACKSHOP The Tarkington’s turn at center stage As the press began to turn for this edition, and our move across South Range Line Road to our new digs (30 South, and please visit us!) ensued, we kept getting distracted about the notion of attending last weekend’s gala for the The Tarkington at The Center for the Performing Arts. The 500seat venue’s official opening would prove to be the culmination of the “building of the campus.” Our city now is, without a doubt, home to the most complete assemblage of performance options in this state and beyond. When one factors The Palladium and The Studio Theatre into the equation, it makes for a wonderful opportunity (or multiple opportunities) for those involved in and/or patrons of the performing arts. It’s a real reason to celebrate, and the future of the project couldn’t possibly be brighter. Congratulations to all the stakeholders (uh, including taxpayers), those out front and behind the scenes – and, most especially, to Cheri Dick, whose Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre is one month away from officially calling The Tarkington home. ••• Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation wants you … or at least your name … on one of its park shelters.

So long summer, hello year-round school COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I am so excited I am suffering bladder control issues. School is back in session for my kids and that glorious announcement bears repeating: School started today! Finally. I know summer vacation is only 10 weeks, but man, those are a long-butt two point five months. When I was a child I thought year-round educational programs were the work of evil masterminded adults who hoped to keep minors forever in salt-mine servitude, but as a parent, I’m thinking a little academic slavery might not be such a bad thing. Let’s consider this possibility. One of my biggest challenges each summer is keeping some semblance of a routine at our house. I don’t know about your heirs, but mine need structure. They need to have consistent bedtimes and wake times. They need scheduled meals, daily physical activity and social interaction. Otherwise, they quickly become bored and whiney, even if they sneak in seven hours of Wii. However, that’s much easier said than done. Remember my Summer 2011 Plan? Strict eating and bed times, limited technology interaction, Amish Day? Well, as I probably should have known, some things just work better in theory. Actually, Amish Day and the chore chart were smashing successes, at least for me. The kids would argue differently. But the kitchen schedule, required reading and keeping track of Xbox hours proved to be too challenging with four children; especially,

when I was working for most of June. Three hours on Call of Duty 16 seems like plenty of time, but it really goes by quickly and often Doo and I would pretend we didn’t see the clock because they are so quiet and happy while sniping Nazi’s. With year-round school, or at least a calendar with small breaks sprinkled throughout the year, I’d only have to worry about surviving July, which would be fairly simple if I throw in a family vacation, maybe a sports camp and a trip to Mamaw’s. Furthermore, “they” say knowledge retention is greater among students who have fewer large gaps in their school year. They also advise shorter and more frequent vacations can prevent academic burn out. That sounds good to me. I do worry about teenagers, however. Summer jobs as life guards, nannies, fry cooks and lawn mowers are essential learning experiences for our high school kids. Plus, there is something truly magical about having 70 whole days of sprinklers, lightening bugs and popsicles, with nary a spiral notebook in site. I truly enjoy not fighting the homework battle each and every evening. I’d had my fill of summer vay-cay by June 20, which is why August couldn’t come soon enough. Peace out!

Main Street Barber Shop to help veterans COMMENTARY By Jeff Worrell Early next month, 51 new apartments in downtown Indianapolis will go online. The apartments, built by Homeless Vets and Families of Indiana, are designed to get homeless veterans off the streets and provide for them more stable lives. Carmel Lions Club member Bill Bledsoe is marshalling all of the resources he can muster to help furnish the new apartments. Bill first secured the help of his co-workers at the Main Street Barber Shop. The Barber Shop has long been known not only as a place for a good haircut and shave but also a business enterprise that has a soft spot for Hoosier vets. Fellow barbers Jason Peek, John Sanders and Matt Stilger are gladly loaning their business space, time and support to help make sure the project is a success. Bledsoe is gathering household goods to help transform the newly constructed, yet-to-be-furnished apartments into homes. Imagine items that might make the perfect wedding gift or a housewarming present and you know exactly what Bill is looking for. Gently used or new items are fine; no one affiliated with this project is picky. The vets who will become residents of the new living quarters will live a military-like lifestyle. Seeking something that is familiar and safe, the vets also will have access to drug and

alcohol intervention programs as well as psychological and medical services. Bledsoe is leaving no stone unturned, no dollar uncollected. To purchase additional items, a free car wash is scheduled for Aug. 14, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Main Street Barber Shop. The actual dust and dirt removal from your car is no charge, but hands will be outstretched to collect any donations directed towards HVAF of Indiana. As a barber, Bledsoe knows the importance of and how to give a good haircut. He volunteers his time to go downtown to give free haircuts to the vets. He has been able to create a mini Barber Shop complete with a barber chair within the facility where the new apartments will be. When asked why he spends so much of his time supporting the veterans, he said, “I want to let the guys know we care about them. My dad served in WWII and I appreciate all vets.” To donate household items or men’s clothing and undergarments, contact HVAF of Indiana at 951-0688 for pickup. Bill Bledsoe is doing more than his share to make sure our vets know we care. Jeff Worrell is a local businessman. He recognizes volunteers on “Connecting with Carmel” on cable channel 16.

Dads’ Club unveils new office

Photo by Kevin Kane

The Carmel Dads’ Club last week held a free lunch and open house to show the public the new addition to its office at 5459 E. Main Street. With donated materials and at very little cost to the organization, the CDC added a number of new offices to the north end of its building and added bricks to the exterior. “When this building was originally built there were only two employees,” said CDC President Jack Beery. “Now we have eight employees.”

Resident helps restore national memorial By Kevin Kane kevin@youarecurrent.com Less than two decades old, the national U.S.S. Indianapolis memorial in downtown Indianapolis already was in need of a complete restoration until late July. According to Tim Fox, Noblesville resident and owner of Meticulous Landscapes, plants around the monument were overgrown, weeds could be found throughout the landscaping and stone walls were loose and “haphazardly” arranged. But the area surrounding the monument itself wasn’t the only issue. When nearby residents complained of algae growth and dirt on the monument, a pressure washer was used to clean it, stripping paint from letters carved into the stone. “It was a travesty,” Fox said. Though out of their typical service area, Fox and a number of local contractors and businesses came together to restore the monument “from the ground up” in a matter of weeks, completing a nearly $30,000 project at no cost to the city. Weather pushed the physical labor back to after July 4 but much of the group came together in February, when Carmel resident Barry Fairfax and other members of the Indianapolis Radio League told Gen. Stewart Goodwin that IRL would permanently take over maintenance of

the monument, including the initial restorative measures that were desperately needed. “He was surprised anyone would do that because he knew the shape it was in,” Fairfax said. “It was slipping, and slipping fast.” The budget for the entire project was $0 but all labor and materials were donated. A majority of the planting will be done in the next few weeks, but the rest of the project is finished – including the repainting, by hand, of the letters previously stripped by the pressure washing. Fairfax was one of many people who used small artist brushes to paint the 2,574 letters, each taking about two to three minutes, he estimated. “I can’t wait to see what it will look like when we get the flowers in there,” Fairfax said. “It will be superb.”

Interim CEO Frank Basile says The Center for the Performing Arts isn’t missing a beat after Steven Libman’s departure

Feinstein’s vote of confidence

“As the interim President/CEO, Frank Basile will continue to cultivate a spirit of excellence. I’ve had the privilege of working with Frank through his involvement with the board for the last two years. He’s a smart, well-respected leader. I and the rest of the center staff are delighted with his new role.” - Artistic Director Michael Feinstein

By Kevin Kane kevin@youarecurrent.com Frank Basile said he accepted a spot on The Center for the Performing Arts board of directors because he believed in the vision and the potential of the center. But he never expected to be running it. He was thrust into the center’s top executive position, however, when former President and CEO Steven Libman abruptly resigned on July 29. That afternoon left Basile so busy that the Indianapolis resident forgot to tell his wife, Katrina, about his new gig. When a phone call from the center interrupted the couple’s dinner that evening, Basile said his wife asked why the center was calling him so late. “I forgot to tell you about this thing I did today,” he told her, referring to accepting the interim position. “She said, ‘You did what?’” Basile said. “Then she asked, ‘So what’s this going to do for our travel plans the rest of the year?’ I said we aren’t going to have any. But she’s very supportive… We weren’t prepared for this; it just happened.” No amount of preparation could have readied Basile for the job he now has. He has sat on the boards of several nonprofits and is the retired senior vice president of the Gene B. Glick Co. Running a performing arts center, however, requires experience and expertise that he does not have. So he’s relying heavily on the rest of the center’s top staff members to help him, and he said he does not believe that they have missed a beat. “Steven was supported by a truly outstanding staff,” he said. “Even though I do not have the experience that Steven had, I’m able to draw from the collective experience of the staff.” This means that many of the staff members now have increased responsibility. For example, Libman served as the primary booker of performances in the center’s performance venues, but now others are assisting Basile on this front. Public Relations Manager John Hughey said Libman had already been working on the Palladium’s 2012-2013 season, but Basile and his staff have smoothly picked up where Libman left off. One area where Basile said there may be a setback is in the center’s fundraising efforts. Libman and current executives with the center have frequently said fundraising takes a great deal of time, as relationships with potential donors must be cultivated. With Libman out, some of his efforts will be lost. “Truthfully, I can’t say we won’t miss a beat on that because it’s all about building relationships,” Basile said. “We’re hoping we can continue the relationships he was building. I think it will be minor, though. We can overcome that.” Basile isn’t new to fundraising. He said it has been his forte in his prior board service and, as a member of the center’s board, was even present during some of Libman’s meetings with potential donors. In addition to his prior experience, Hughey said Basile’s reputation in the area will help the center to continue its fundraising efforts despite the sudden change in leadership. “You always gravitate to think something negative is going to happen when someone leaves but we’re seeing some very positive things,” Hughey said, adding that, in the first two days after Libman left, Printing Partners agreed to sponsor Tony Bennett’s Aug. 23 performance and another company will sponsor one of the series in the upcoming season. “There isn’t an arts leader in our area that doesn’t know Frank Basile, and that’s important.”

The search for the next leader Frank Basile said the center has not yet given a search firm “the green light” to begin conducting a nationwide search for the center’s next president and CEO. Once the search begins, Basile estimated that a new leader should be named in about three to four months. “I wish it were next week,” he said. “Half kidding, of course. I am enjoying this.” Photo by Kevin Kane

CCS kindergarteners will experience changes EDUCATION By Jeff Swensson Do you remember what it’s like to be in kindergarten? I have fond memories of a colorful room at school filled with new and exciting things to do with my friends. Mrs. Newsome was my teacher and she was very nice. From what I recall, we were smiling all the time! Many years later, some things have not changed about kindergarten. There’s still nothing like the smiles on the faces of kindergartners and kindergarten teachers in the Carmel Clay Schools as they continue the tradition of caring a great deal about each of their students. Amidst all these smiles and delightful traditions, there are some things that have changed about kindergarten. “Back in the day” kindergarten wasn’t available in all school districts. Although kindergarten attendance is still not mandatory in the state of Indiana, CCS is proud to have a robust kindergarten enrollment of almost 1,000 students (either full or half-day) for the new school year. These eager children will have superior teachers and an important opportunity as we begin the 2011-2012 school year. The new opportunity CCS kindergarten students will experience is the Common Core State Standards. Established by a national panel of educators, business people and government officials, the Common Core Standards offer a dynamic, world of learning for our kindergarten students. Shared by our thoughtful and car-

ing teachers, the Common Core Standards will engage our students in activities and lessons that will enrich and extend their learning. We will continue to see bright smiles, hear delighted laughter and observe the wonder of learning in the kindergarten classrooms of CCS. With the Common Core Standards in place, we will add something essential: a boost for each student in terms of learning and thinking. Since the Common Core Standards will be linked with all grade levels and all subject areas in the future, bringing this important learning to kindergarten front-loads success for our students in a very important way. The intent of CCS is always to provide the strongest possible academic experience along with positive personal growth for each and every child. Bringing the Common Core Standards to kindergarten this school year puts our students in the proverbial driver’s seat for success through the years ahead. With CCS crafting curriculum and instruction to take our students into the highest quality thinking for the 21st Century, our kindergarteners have a bright school year ahead. In light of this important new development, it can truly be said that CCS kindergarten is, in the words of the popular old song, “…where the smile dwells a little longer!” Dr. Jeff Swensson is the superintendant of Carmel Clay Schools.

DISPATCHES Âť â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dietâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soda? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two new studies have linked drinking diet soda to poorer health. People who said they drank two or more diet sodas a day experienced waist size increases that were six times greater than those of people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink diet soda, according to researchers from the University of Texas. A second study that found the sweetener aspartame raised blood sugar levels in diabetes-prone mice. -www.myhealthnewsdaily.com Âť Wine for better stamina? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Resveratrol is found in grape skins and red wine, and becomes more concentrated as grapes ferment during the wine-making process. Researchers have linked resveratrol to improvements in longevity, fat-burning and athletic endurance. In a study published in the journal Cell, French researchers found that rodents that received what would in humans be the equivalent to 100 glasses of red wine ran twice as far on a treadmill as mice that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supplemented. Researchers attributed the boost to resveratrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to boost energy-producing mitochondria in muscle cells. -fitbie.com

Âť Reduce dark circles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dark under-eye circles are most often caused by genetics, often appearing when blood vessels lie close to the thin skin under oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. However, alcohol consumption and a lack of sleep can make them worse. What to do: drink at least eight glasses (eight ounces each) of water daily, get proper amounts of sleep, apply a cold compress to the area, use creams with vitamin K â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which acts as a fading agent. When combined with retinoic acid, the fading caused by vitamin K is increased. -Bottom Line Health Âť More relaxation drinks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Unit sales of relaxation drinks doubled between 2008 and 2010, with 127 million liters sold in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consumption trends of America show that Americans are always willing to try out new things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; relaxation drinks might be one of those things,â&#x20AC;? said an official with NPD Group.

What does your face say? COMMENTARY By Barry Eppley One’s face is revealing of many things, sometimes good and sometimes not so good. Time, genetics, sun, smoking and stress or good fortune all leave their marks on one’s face. Right or wrong, people make instant judgments about one another’s age, personality and character based on their facial features. But many things can be gleaned from a face than just a smile or a frown. Certain medical conditions may be able to be diagnosed just from one’s face. Sparse hairs or an absence of the outer third of the eyebrows could be a sign of thyroid failure. A round or moon-shaped face develops is someone taking steroids. Small strokes can be detected from changes in facial expressions or laugh lines. A very broad forehead and large nose may be a sign of acromegaly where too much growth hormone is being produced. Sleepy eyes may be a sign of a neuromuscular disorder known as myasthenia gravis, which makes the eyelids droop. The ears can be a tipoff to gout, if they have bumps that look like tiny stones under the skin. A common sign of aging is the arcus senilis, a whitish or grayish ring that forms around the iris in many older people. In the right lighting, one can tell if someone has had cataract surgery as the implanted lens gives off a “metallic glint” at certain angles. One’s stated age versus their appearance can often be a sign of good or ill health. A youthful look

is usually a sign of good health as illnesses tend to make people look older. Even if one looks older than their stated age and has no medical illnesses it may also reflect various psychological disorders. The face is also a well known reflection of one’s age and occurs in a classic triad. First, wrinkles, age spots and tiny spider veins appear which are worsened by long-term sun exposure and smoking. Secondly, a loss of volume appears which is the shrinking of the fat layers in the face, most commonly in the cheeks. This will create a gaunt or deflated look and cause bags under the eyes to stick out more than before. Lastly, certain parts of the face simply drop, neck and cheeks sag downward due to stretched out skin and loose ligaments. But one’s skin color has a huge impact on facial aging. The more pigment you have in your skin, the thicker it is. Thicker skin has more elastic fibers, which are more resistant to aging changes. The increased pigment also blocks the sun better. In addition, darker skin has more oil glands so it remains suppler over a lifetime and less prone to wrinkling. These are the advantages that African Americans, Asians, Hispanics and people of Mediterranean descent have over most Caucasians. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon. Comments can be sent to info@ eppleyplasticsurgery.com

Stay home. Be moved. WHAT IS DEBT SETTLEMENT? Debt Settlement is when you pay off debt at a reduced amount, often at 50% or less. WHO IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR DEBT SETTLEMENT? A small business or individual with $30,000 or more of unsecured debt, who has a 401K plan, an inheritance, or a lump sum distribution; as approximately half of debt amount must be set aside in escrow to settle debt when agreement is reached with the creditor. WHY DO I NEED AN ATTORNEY? WHY CAN’T I DO IT MYSELF? Most of the time creditors will not negotiate with individuals, or debt settlement companies. They will ask an attorney for a “power of attorney”. An attorney locks in the terms, so that the creditor cannot change them and try to collect more interest or fees later. An attorney can also protect you in the event of a lawsuit occurring while negotiations are ongoing. WHAT ARE THE RISKS? There is a risk of a lawsuit occurring before the debt is settled, which is usually avoided by using a LOCAL attorney. Also one’s credit score could decline while negotiations are taking place.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SETTLE ALL THE DEBT? Most of the time a creditor will not begin negotiating until debt is 6 months past due. Therefore debt settlement is usually completed as soon as terms are reasonable. AM I TAXED ON THE MONEY SAVED? There could be tax due on money saved. Your accountant can see if you are exempt from taxes under IRS Insolvency Rules, Publication 4681. HOW CAN I LEARN MORE? To learn more, call Mike at 317-266-8888, email: mike@mikenorrislaw.com or visit: mikenorrislaw.com. MIKE NORRIS Mike is an Indiana Attorney who has been practicing law for 33 years.

DISPATCHES » Hiring, pay down in Indy – SurePayroll’s Small Business Scorecard released its July 2011 figures last week. For July, both hiring and paycheck levels are down slightly from the previous month, resulting in YTD decreases of 2.4 percent and 0.3 percent respectively. In addition, optimism among small business owners plummeted from 67 percent in June to 47 percent in July. Michael Alter, president and CEO of SurePayroll, said he now believes the small-business economy “is in reverse.” -www.inc.com » Alaska got rich on Apple – Oil revenues from the Trans-Alaska Pipeline provided the capital for the Alaska Permanent Fund, a giant savings account created by the state’s voters 1976 to make sure the legislature didn’t spend the windfall all at once. But what’s fueled the fund’s growth in recent years – and helped it hit a record $40.1 billion last week – are its investments in the stock market, especially in Apple (AAPL). The fund’s 617,154 shares of Apple, purchased for $73,516,624, are now worth $207,160,083 – a 182 percent increase. -www.fortune.com

» Buy a car, get a vacation – If you buy a new car in the future, you can pay less for the car and get a discounted European vacation at the same time by taking delivery of the car in Europe. Automakers with European delivery programs offer their cars at a 7 percent discount off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, or MSRP, on average, with discounts higher on certain car models. The European vacation packages are coordinated through a travel agent at discounted rates, with some programs including perks such as free airfare and hotel stay. Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volvo currently offer the European delivery programs. -www.bankrate.com » Don’t automate gym payments – According to a study done by Stanford and Berkeley researchers, most people dramatically overestimate the number of times they go to the gym each month — in essence paying $17 a visit with a monthly fee. “One technique you can use to save money is to pay a la carte,” says Ramit Sethi, author of the blog and book I Will Teach You to Be Rich. “It sounds crazy to buy a day pass each time you go, but that may actually save you money.” -www.bnet.com

Market may be stabilizing in Carmel LOCAL REAL ESTATE By Jim Litten It’s an old saying in the real estate business – location, location, location. And that’s never been more true than today. While many Hoosiers are still watching the housing market to determine whether now is a good time to buy, others are jumping in, taking advantage of stabilized housing prices and historically-low interest rates. Case in point: In Hamilton County, sales are outpacing the rest of Indiana. In Carmel, pended home sales for the month of June were up 12.9 percent from the same time last year, and inventory was down 11.5 percent. The average sales price rose by 1.2 percent – all signs the real estate market is stabilizing. Folks have flocked to Carmel for a number of reasons. Just look at the national accolades it received. Last year, Carmel ranked 14th in Money Magazine’s Top 100 Best Places to Live in America. Also last year, Forbes listed Carmel as the 10th most likely area to see an improvement in home prices and Sperling’s Best Places named Carmel a Top 10 Best City to Relocate to in America. Though F.C. Tucker Company’s most recent housing report affirms that the Hamilton County real estate market is beginning to stabilize, it’s also important to note that last June’s sales were in a slump because many consumers took advantage of the homebuyer tax credit from January through April. So by the time last June

www.youarecurrent.com

arrived, fewer people were buying. Gradually, stats on consumer confidence are improving and I believe Hamilton County’s consumer confidence will be the catalyst to an improved real estate market as time goes on. In July, U.S. consumer confidence rose slightly to a 59.5 reading, according to The Conference Board, a New-York based private research group. That’s up from a 57.6 reading in June – nearly a two point increase. In addition, Carmel’s June unemployment rate fell to 5.5 percent, according to the Department of Workforce Development, down nearly a percent from June 2010 and nearly four points below the national average. Generally, when unemployment decreases, consumer confidence increases and home activity picks up, as we are seeing now. As we move toward the end of the year, a slight slow-down is possible in the housing market. That’s common in late-fall and winter months. But for now, the state of real estate appears to be improving in Hamilton County. And as Carmel and other parts of Hamilton County gain attention from regional and national audiences, it’s likely the accolades will further boost real estate sales. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker. Comment on this article by sending an e-mail to editorial@ youarecurrent.com.

Christianity begs to differ Spirituality By Bob Walters “The things said most confidently by advanced persons to crowded audiences are generally those quite opposite to the fact; it is actually our truisms that are untrue.” – G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy In the spheres of modern religion, morality, politics, education, science – quick, name some more spheres – I can’t think of a more frighteningly accurate assessment or warning about mass-marketed “truth” than this nugget Christian essayist Gilbert K. Chesterton wrote in 1908. And by “modern” we mean in the philosophical, intellectual sense which – over the past 500 years or so – has come to mean “intelligence invented by man” (e.g. secular humanism, faith in man) as opposed to “intelligence that emanates from the Creator” (e.g. religion, faith in God). This is relevant in today’s Christian conversation because “modern” culture has overtaken most of civilization’s greatest institutions thereby narrowing the influence of Christian truth. The modern culture of education, the media, “intellectual elites,” most governments (including ours) and even distressingly many churches – all insist man is man must be “one” with everything around him, such as the universe, animals, the weather and each other … whatever. The fact is we are not one. Even God is not One but a society, the Trinity. Our love, rebel-

lion, decisions and freedom all prove it’s the differences in the universe that animate God’s plan, not the similarities. Where modern thought identifies patterns and sameness, it frequently and mistakenly imputes “truth” where none exists. Here’s an example: “The religions of the earth differ in rites and forms, but they are the same in what they teach.” Observes Chesterton, “It is false; it is the opposite of the fact. The religions of the earth do not greatly differ in rites and forms; they do differ greatly in what they teach. They are alike in everything except the fact that they don’t say the same thing.” Chesterton uses the massive differences of Christianity and Buddhism – the external, creative “otherness” of the Christian God vs. the inward, quiet “oneness” of the Buddha – to make his case. His larger point says it is easier and more “modern” to say “they are the same” than to deeply consider why they are not. “Go along to get along” was not the teaching of Christ. Orthodoxy clearly explains why Christ makes a difference, not just to Chesterton, but to all Creation. God’s truth – Jesus Christ – is a truism we can trust. Bob Walters (www.believerbob. blogspot.com, email rlwcom@aol. com) celebrates our differences while marveling at God’s cohesiveness. Next: Chesterton explains his faith.

Preventing ‘Wonderland’ decorating mistakes DESIGN By Vicky Earley Alice of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” was the original expert in problems relative to interiors and scale. This classic character was instructed to eat and drink elements that would make her grow and shrink until she was out of scale with her surroundings. She became so small she could not use the chairs and tables, and then she grew too large to not use them. One of the most dramatic examples of nonfictional problems relative to furniture scale would be the sofa that was destined to become the solution to all seating woes, but does not fit through the door. Typically, problems with scale are usually less dramatic than a sofa relegated to a life on the front porch, but it can be one of those insidious things that just gnaws at you about a space. If you think about it, it’s no wonder that scale is one of the most common interior decorating problems. Most furniture stores are huge boxes with 30 foot ceilings. When buying decisions are made in an environment with virtually no relationship to the home, mistakes are

inevitable. Scale of home furnishings is relative, pure and simple. It is relative to the space, it is relative to the other pieces in the room. A chair that looks Lilliputian on the floor of a store could end up being gargantuan when placed in the home. It is that relativity, or proportion, that makes a room flow or makes a room an uncomfortable and expensive mistake. If this has left you feeling as if purchasing new home furnishings is rife with peril, your solution is an “elevation”. An elevation is a rendering, this the first cousin to the all-important space plan. It is a designer’s professional tool

that determines the best height, depth and width of furnishings for your space, based on ceiling height, room size and scale of existing furnishings. Beyond the planning on paper, it is vital to step back from a space to consider the scale. Look at the entire space, and assess how one thing relates to another. For example, imagine a room with a 15 foot ceiling that is filled with sofas, chairs and tables that are all approximately 36 feet high. The furnishings might be in scale with each other, but not with the actual room; therefore, something must be done to manage the void. Art, bookcases, window treatments, chandeliers, fireplace build-outs and murals are just a few of the elements that can fill the negative space. The point is to design the space with rapport between the furnishings and the size of the room.

Soft-filtered water ... not a hard decision

Travel in Style: What to Pack With travel regulations requiring an extra fee for checked bags the best way to save money is to use a carry on. Here are some quick tips to make the most out of the room in your bag without having to sacrifice style or convenience.

• Hair • Skin • Nails • Massage

Choose Classic Colors: Use your judgment based on the season; black and grey are timeless for winter, brown looks great year-round, and white is perfect for summer.

Diversify with Accessories: The best way to make an outfit feel special is to accessorize appropriately. You will want to choose small, relatively inexpensive accessories for security and functionality. If you can’t leave your favorite diamonds behind, wear them on the plane to ensure their safety. Bring Staples: Solid tanks, tees, dark jeans, and leggings are perfect for everyday outfits. Your accessories will spice up these standard pieces. Another great option is the classic black dress, which with the right shoes, can go from day to night. Toiletries: Remember TSA’s 3-1-1 rule and you won’t have to waste time at the security checkpoint. 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure. Salon01 carries a wide variety of your favorite products in TSA approved travel sizes.

A Guide to Your Perfect Mascara

Back To School!

Choose the right shade: The best way to get great lashes is to start with the right shade of mascara. Black can work on anyone, but for fair-skinned individuals, and those with red hair, try a brownblack for a softer look.

$5 off a haircut for all elementary, middle, high school and college students

Add Heat: Blast your eyelash curler with your hair dryer before very carefully curling the lashes. Squeeze the eyelash curler for a couple seconds once in the middle of the lashes, and once near the tips. Enhance: For a more dramatic look, apply single, false lashes that come in tiny clumps. Using tweezers, dip the lashes in lash glue and place at the outer corner of your eyelid.

O f f e r go o d t h r o u gh Au gu s t 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

Add Volume: A translucent powder at the ends of lashes gives mascara volume and stay-power. Using an eye shadow brush, sweep powder on the ends and tops of your lashes. Apply: Start with the wand at the root of your lashes and wiggle the brush to your ends. Apply multiple coats for a bolder look, being careful not to let it dry between applications, in order to avoid clumping.

Traveling in Style: What to Wear Have you ever seen those women that step off an eighteenhour flight looking like they met a famous stylist in that tiny smoke-free bathroom at the back of the plane? Yeah, we envy them too. After we dust off our sweatpants and gracefully remove the drool from the corner of our mouths, we decide to find our own Tim Gunn en route. After all, with Salon 01 style what are we doing skimping on fashion in the name of comfort?! We are men and women that can have it all. Forget the Sweats Microfiber, lycra, and spandex are your friends on those long trips in the car or on the plane. That doesn’t mean you have to look like grandma Betty in her favorite baby blue warm-up suit. Choose dark colors and sleek designs that compliment your body. For petites we love the Petite Sloan fit crop pants by Banana Republic. The “power stretch” fabric gives this pants amazing stretch and recovery.

Live in your Classic Wrap Dress Wrap dresses are amazing for every season. Add leggings and long sweater for winter or a light cardigan and wedges for summer. Because you are focusing on one piece, going through security will be a breeze. Pick your Power Shoe Wearing your heaviest shoe is key when you are trying to travel light. Also keep in mind that if it is not comfortable you are not going to want to wear it. That means in the airport and at your destination! There’s no room for uncomfortable shoes in your suitcase. Pack that Pashmina A perfect pashmina is the wonder accessory when it comes to layering. Use it as a light throw during flight, a cover up at the beach, or a pop of color to your classic outfit.

Clamping down on costs REMODELING By David Decker Containing costs and maximizing value in a custom home improvement project should be uppermost in the minds of everyone involved. Nothing helps achieve those two goals better than good planning and good communication. Nothing turns a dream kitchen into hell’s kitchen, or a master bath into the grapes of wrath, more assuredly than bad planning and poor communication. While each homeowner/client and each project is one-of-a-kind, basic principles of managing a project should always apply. Big job or small, major renovation or cosmetic upgrade, achieving proper cost and value doesn’t mean cheap materials and cheap work. Cost and value come from everyone having a clear idea of the project’s goals, deadlines and budget. And that means … planning and communication. There’s an old construction truism triangle that says, “You can have good price, quality or timing. Pick two.” Baloney. You can have all three, if you have planning and communication. The secret is in defining the project, start to finish, before the start. A desirable home improvement professional, will see what you want to achieve, understand your budget parameters, and use his or her professional resources to provide the best prices, quality and timing

attainable. Planning can include architecture, design, price-conscious sourcing of materials, flooring, fixtures, cabinetry and appliances, scheduling deliveries and labor. Some other tasks may include: obtaining permits and notifying utilities, and many other facets that unique home improvements may require. Communication is daily dedication to monitoring and discussing the plan, and when necessary, updating the plan. What you’ll find with a home improvement professional who is as dedicated to communicating with you as he is to planning the project, is there will be far fewer instances of expensive surprises, delays and order changes. Everyone has a stake in the success of the project. The homeowner wants a well-functioning and beautiful home improvement; and the home improvement professional’s future business depends on a history of bringing great projects in on time and on budget. Cost and value. Planning and communication breed the best of both worlds. David Decker is president of Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms, based in Carmel (877-252-1420, www.affordablekandb.com). Have a home improvement question? E-mail David at david.decker@ affordablekandb.com, and he will answer in an upcoming column.

Removing walls in custom kitchen remodel REMODELING By Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home located in Indianapolis was built 28 years ago. The current owners have lived in this home for 18 years and the kitchen has never been remodeled. The homeowner said,“now that the kids are gone, it‘s time to update!” REMOVING WALLS & CREATING NEW SPACE: The biggest change was the elimination of several existing walls and the creation of the new larger space. The new plan created a separate laundry room and half bath in the former laundry area. A structural beam was installed to support the kitchen ceiling when a section of wall was removed. The new beam was raised into the ceiling allowing a continuous, flush new ceiling. A new wall was added bumping out into the great room roughly three feet. Finally, a bulkhead was framed over the new banquette area to create new cozy soffit lighting. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE: According to the homeowner, the biggest difference now is the new open floor plan. “The dividing walls from the kitchen/dining room are gone. The new laundry area is divided and closed off from the half bath. The kitchen wall was replaced by an island. We absolutely love the island. It’s the best part of our kitchen remodel. We used to have a small breakfast bar where we ate. Now, we eat at the large island all the time.” FAVORITE FEATURES: The old cabinets were replaced with new semi-custom, full overlay cabinets with a square raised panel door style. The perimeter and banquette areas are maple painted a polar white color while the island is

After maple painted black. All drawers were upgraded to five-piece, dovetail, full-extension and soft close. The new tile backsplash was also a favorite. The homeowner commented, “one of my favorite items of the new kitchen is the beveled subway tile backsplash. It is absolutely beautiful against the black pearl granite countertops. We are very pleased with our kitchen.” Larry Greene is the president of Case Design/Remodeling, a fullservice design/build firm serving Hamilton County. Contact him at lgreene@indy.rr.com.

Pets help children develop PETS By John Mikesell Children learn many positive behaviors from having a pet in their lives. Pets provide valuable life lessons in empathy and responsibility, according to new research from Purdue University. Whether they’re, feathered, scaled or finned, pets can play a vital role in a child’s overall development; offering companionship and social support. “There is no doubt the relationship children have with pets has positive effects on their attitude and behavior,” said Dr. Gail F. Melson professor emeritus of developmental studies at Purdue. “Additionally, on a broader level, pets help develop a child’s natural curiosity about the world.” Melson, who authored Why the Wild Things Are: Animals in the lives of children, said children receive other benefits from pets as well. Pets are like a best friend. Children often see their pets as confidants with whom they can freely share

www.youarecurrent.com

their feelings. Fish, guinea pigs or leopard geckos can be a strong source of emotional support. According to one of Melsons studies, 5- year-olds who regularly confided in their pets had an easier time adjusting to kindergarten because they had a way to express their feeling about the change. Pets show children how to care. Taking care of a pet encourages children to think about more than themselves and become responsible for another being’s welfare. Children who care for pets are more empathetic and feel better about themselves. Pets teach children to understand and learn nonverbal cues from animals’ inabilities to speak. Pets spark a love of learning. Children who have pets tend to become more interested in issues such as animal welfare and the environment then those without pets. In other words, pets are a starting point from which children begin to learn about the natural world.

Pets of the week Sophie is a two-year-old female black and white Boston Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier mix. Sophie is a very sweet girl who adores her human friends and is known for sharing lots of kisses. She gets along with most other dogs and she loves to play. Sophie arrived at the shelter with a few wounds and an infection in her foot and she is also Heartworm positive. Her wounds have healed, her infection is gone and so she just needs to find a foster home so she can begin the life saving treatment for her Heartworm disease. Her treatment will cost $300, so anyone who would like to help sponsor her treatment or would be interested in fostering her, please contact the Animal Programs staff at 774-1263 or atanimalprograms@hamiltonhumane.com Callie is a nine-year-old female calico DSH. Callie is a quiet girl who prefers the companionship of adults. When she first meets someone new she can be a little slow to warm up, but with a little patience she will be in their lap in no time.

Back to school: Baby-boomer style HUMOR By Mike Redmond Wow. Here we are at the beginning of August and kids are already steeling themselves for the return to school. This is one of the times I really enjoy being a person of Baby Boomer vintage. It’s fun to see the looks on the faces of the little ones as I regale them with stories of going back to school after Labor Day, and getting out before Memorial Day. Of course, I don’t throw in the part about how long summer breaks meant we forgot pretty much everything we had supposedly learned in the first semester of the preceding school year, but that’s beside the point. I’m going for envy here. I have to admit I always enjoyed the first day of a new school year. In fact, after about 10th grade or so, it was usually the only day of the school year I did enjoy. I loved new school clothes. There was something so hopeful about shoes with unscuffed toes and pants with creases where you actually wanted them. I loved the school, too. The building, I mean. It was gleaming clean and smelled of floor wax, the air as yet unsullied by the usual school smells: Post-P.E. B.O., the results from pull-myfinger jokes and that mysterious green stuff janitors sprinkled on all manner of toxic spills. The new school year was full of promise: Maybe this would be the year that you would get a locker that didn’t jam. Maybe this would be the year you could actually get to your locker, seeing as how the older, larger, ill-tempered boyfriends of the girls on either side of you had graduated and wouldn’t be in the way when you needed to get your English book. Speaking of girls, maybe this would be the year you’d actually date one. I notice I’m referring mostly to the high school experience here. Elementary school year beginnings had many of the same charms (absent the locker-boyfriend drama) plus some bonuses that still have no equal: Fresh boxes of

crayons and beautiful new pink erasers. Now, you’ll notice that I have given minimal mention to education, as in actually learning something, perhaps even something useful. That’s not to say that it wasn’t on our minds. In fact, many of us began the school year thinking this would be the year when we actually put the nose to the ol’ grindstone and finally got the grades that would satisfy our parents. We would be bursting with energy and strong with resolve, right up until the moment we walked off the bus and through the doors. There’s nothing in the work day world of the adult to compare with the first day of school. Is there we so-called grownups could feel it one more time? Maybe we could all start taking long summer vacations. You know, like we Baby Boomers got back in the old days. Sorry, kids. Enjoy those new erasers, though.
