Volunteers melt WWII veteran’s heart By Pete Smith and Ronald P. May pete@youarecurrent.com When Harry Cooler Jr. stepped on the plane on Sept. 7 that was to take him to Washington D.C. on a trip to visit the World War II museum, history he likely expected a ceremony or two would take place. But the Carmel resident was wholly unprepared for the approximately 4,000 people who came out to greet him and his fellow veterans when his plane arrived at Ronald Reagan National Airport. “It was very touching. It was an emotional time,” Cooler said of the active military members and civilians who took the time to honor the veterans. “We didn’t know that Cooler was going to happen.” It was one of many surprises in store for Cooler and the other 69 World War II veterans who made the trip courtesy of Indy Honor Flight, a charity that funds the travel expenses of veterans to see the memorial. During the trip, the 70 veterans were accompanied by their own volunteer guardian who had paid his or her own expenses to volunteer during the trip. The veterans were 85 to 96 years old, and many needed assistance during the journey. When the group made it to the World War II memorial, Cooler said he was stunned by its beauty and size. “It was awesome. It took up the space of two football fields,” he said. The veterans also had the chance to tour the Korean War and Vietnam Memorials and Arlington National Cemetery, where the group witnessed the impressive changing of the guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was a great opportunity to remember and reflect on that time in their lives. “I’m just thankful to be here,” Cooler said. “We lost some men, some good friends.” Cooler served in Europe from 1944-45 as a member of the 413th Armored Artillery Battalion, 20th Armored Division. When the tour was over and everyone had boarded the return flight, Honor Flight organizers unveiled another surprise - a 1940s–style mail call that had often been the lone bright spot of their service in the war. Each veteran was given a bag filled with hundreds

of notes, children’s drawings and letters of thanks written by local volunteers. They also received a care package filled with keepsakes made by local volunteers and students. The veterans returned to Indianapolis to several thousand family members, friends and patriotic citizens gathered at the airport in a parade-like atmosphere to clap, cheer and wave flags as the heroes passed by them one by one with large portraits of their service photos carried behind them by their guardians. The veterans, many of whom returned from World War II months after its end and never received a proper homecoming, were welcomed back in grand fashion as they walked out of the B Concourse and into the Civic Plaza adorned with flags, balloons, posters and throngs of people. A bagpipe procession led the way as each veteran and his or her guardian walked through a hallway of cheering people who had gathered to thank and welcome home their local heroes. Along the route, each veteran received a welcome home kiss from a woman dressed in 1940s-style clothing. At the end of the hallway of people the tired but extremely satisfied veterans were reunited with their family members. Cooler’s wife, children and grandchildren all arrived to welcome him home. His wife even made a special poster board filed with photos from his life. “It was an emotional day,” Cooler said. “It brought back a lot of memories. It was an awesome trip.” Indy Honor Flight – This charity hopes to make four flights in 2014.

Genelle’s daughter-in-law Heather is direct, “The tumor was pressing on her spinal cord. I knew things had to happen quickly.” At Community North, they did. “She wasn’t getting responsive care where she lived so we flew her up here. The next day she was seeing the doctor,” says Heather. The affiliation between Community Hospital North and East and MD Anderson Cancer Network™ is what impressed Genelle and Heather the most. “When you find out MD Anderson is number one* in the nation it removes any doubt,” says Genelle. Heather adds, “My sense of confidence came from their sense of urgency.” Cancer is proof that there are no dumb questions. So keep asking. And take comfort in knowing that the answers start here. For a referral to a participating physician, call 800.777.7775. To learn more about Genelle’s story, visit eCommunity.com/cancercare.

Former mayor still going strong

vels at the efficiency of the youth council’s meetings. The woman who once held the gavel and chaired hundreds of City meetings now responds to requests like, “Hey Mrs. Reiman, where can we get hay bales?” Running errands and tracking down hay bales are not Reiman’s only duties to support the council. Reiman believes it is critical that the council members understand how their city works, so she is taking the youth council members out of the board room by planning a series of outings to the fire department and police department, as well as the water and sewer companies. “They can learn about government in class. I want them to see their government in action,” she said. “I would like to show them how the city operates. I tell them that taxpayers own the building they are meeting in and their parents paid for this pen.” “A lot of people ask, ‘Why do you want to go back to work at 80?’” Reiman said. “I tell them it’s wonderful for my budget and wonderful for me!”

Energetic, devoted, fun, organized, enthusiastic, very, very smart and team-oriented are the adjectives she uses to describe the 28 student council members between the ages of 13 and 19 who comprise the youth council. “I am so impressed with these teenagers,” Reiman said. “I tell them, ‘You’re the future, we’re counting on you.’” Five years ago when Reiman returned to Carmel after living in Corydon, Ind., to help care for her grandchildren, she offered her assistance to Mayor Jim Brainard should a job arise. Recently, Nancy Heck, Director of Community Relations for the City of Carmel, called and asked if she would like to be involved with the youth council. Reiman’s response was, “I beg your pardon, what is that? I could be their grandmother. I would love to help out.” Reiman, 80, describes her role as a helper to the group. The council’s sole focus is on volunteerism and serving the community, and it conducts weekly meetings at City Hall. It’s responsible for setting its agendas, electing officers and planning events.

Hockey Helps: Student leads charity By Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com In addition to a six-month season as the Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School’s ice hockey goalie and studies as a Carmel junior and school newspaper reporter, Tyler Baucharity mann has coordinated a charity called Hockey Helps to raise funds for St.Vincent’s Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis. Baumann developed this pledge drive in cooperation with Brebeuf Jesuit Ice Hockey. He said people can pledge an amount of their choice to the campaign for every time he makes a save during the 2013-2014 hockey season. Pledge amounts can vary. “I am aiming to make 1,000 saves during the season,” he said. “So we completely understand if the pledge is small. Patrons may also put a cap on the amount they wish to donate.” Hockey Helps uses the funds to purchase toys that will be donated to St.Vincent’s Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. “This charity relies solely on the responsibility of the Brebeuf Jesuit ice hockey players,” Baumann said. “We are responsible for getting the word out, getting pledges and playing well. The better we play the more money we will earn” “I am very proud of the initiative he has shown as well as his desire to involve the rest of his teammates,” said team coach Don Perkins. He said the team practices three times a week for

a schedule with more than 40 games per season. “Keeping my schedule organized isn’t as difficult as you might think,” Baumann said. “Brebeuf practices before school at 5:30 a.m. This leaves me time after school to work on homework and organize Hockey Helps.” “For Tyler to extend himself this way for such a great cause is extremely noteworthy,” Perkins said. “His decision to spearhead this project shows a remarkable level of leadership.” Perkins said Baumann performs his goalie duties at a level that requires great focus and also inspires confidence in his team. Baumann tallies the number of saves each week and sends donors an email announcing the number of saves made. He also keeps donors posted on the organization’s twitter page @HockeyHelps32.

Ballet to benefit cancer research

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

A young boy’s efforts to help others – even while battling cancer – is the driving force behind the Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s “Pulse: Pointe to the Cure” October fundraiser fundraiser. Joey Keller was 7 years old when he was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. Keller lost his battle with the disease at the age of 9 in November. Prior to his death, Keller and his parents started Team Joey to raise awareness and funding for local pediatric cancer research. Team Joey also delivered Legos to children battling cancer in area hospitals so they could forget, if even briefly, the disease they were fighting and have fun. The Team Joey program gives 50 cents of every dollar raised to pediatric cancer research, with the other 50 cents going toward the purchase and distribution of Legos to children with cancer. The conservatory also will host a 6 p.m. reception and 7:30 p.m. performance of “Pulse: Dancing to the Beat of our Own Drummer” on Oct. 4 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s Pulliam Family Great Hall with proceeds benefiting Team Joey. The original ballet production was created by the conservatory’s founding artistic director, Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, with additional chore-

Additional fundraiser events: • A restaurant campaign runs Sept. 20 through 27 with many local restaurants committed to providing 10 to 15 percent off a patron’s bill when a new/unopened Lego set is brought in for donation. • The conservatory will be teaming up with Peyton Manning and Riley Children’s Hospitals during September to match pediatric cancer patients with dancers who will dance for the child. Dancers will also pass out Legos. • Legos will be collected at various locations, including the Indiana Ballet Conservatory at 849 W. Carmel Dr.

ography by Sergey Sergiev. The evening will include a “Pointe to the Heroes” award ceremony hosted by Tom Zupancis to honor the unsung heroes who battle against cancer in unique ways. There also will be live and silent auctions and a tour of the IMA art galleries. Guests can continue Joey’s legacy by donating Legos. For event and ticket information, “Pointe to the Heroes” nomination forms and a list of participating restaurants, visit www.PointetotheCure.org or www.IndianaBalletConservatory.org. Additional performances of “Pulse: Dancing to the Beat of our Own Drummer” are at 2 and 7 p.m. Oct. 12 at the IMA’s Tobias Theater.

A family’s moving act

Commentary by Jeff Worell

shared the story of that first bike, the fact that they have donated more than 650 bikes including helmets and that they are just good people quietly on a mission which brings joy and happiness to kids. But wait, there is more. The joy and happiness bike-a-thon is not limited to just kids. What better feeling could you receive than knowing the “seen better days two wheeler” in your garage is going to Bikes4Kids? “I can see it when people drop off bikes. They feel good knowing their bike is going to help someone else,” Valorie said. Bikes4Kids partners with other charities to accept bikes for children and adults. I bet you have fond memories of your first bike. I sure do. A yellow, 10-speed Schwinn with the curved handlebars was my pride and joy. Valerie and her family reminded me of something very important; I had a bike to remember. What a shame if that wasn’t the case. Keep the Luzadder family in mind should you want to make a memory. You can trust them to see to it. For more information, visit www.bikes4kids. net.

It started out as a typical disagreement between mom and son. He wanted to spend every waking moment in the family garage working on his bike. She thought he volunteerism should study more. Like any resourceful mom, Valerie Luzadder negotiated an agreement with her son, Weston, that with increased study time would also come increased garage time – with just a slight catch. Wes should work to restore a wreck of a bicycle she had to like-new condition and then donate it to a needy child. “Brilliant” you must be thinking. I agree, and so did the Carmel Chamber of Commerce this week when the entire Luzadder family of Patrick, Valerie and Weston received a Chamber Champion Award for their founding and dedication to Bikes4Kids nonprofit charity. That first bike back in 2006 went to a young boy from Orchard Park Elementary School, and Valerie can still remember the look in his eyes. “He was so excited. He was jumping and yelling that blue was his favorite color. Our family is so fortunate to be able to help children receive what very well may be the only bike they will ever have.” So board member Randy Sorrell stood before the gathered chamber membership to brag just a little about the Luzadder family who also own Carmel Cyclery on Carmel Drive at the Monon.

Developers are poised to build more than 800 new Carmel dwellings in the coming years By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com It’s hard to drive down any street in Carmel and not hit a road construction sign. Between the U.S. 31 project, late summer cover story street repairs, utility work and various area developments, progress in the city marches ever onward. For many residents, this work is a positive sign. Every project that’s approved brings jobs and opportunities as well as more housing and business options for a lively city. But not everyone agrees with the specifics of the progress. Attendees of any plan commission meeting will find residents from neighborhoods adjacent to the proposed developments expressing their concerns about traffic flow or potential school overcrowding. Carmel’s city planners have tried to anticipate as many concerns as possible. And despite the desires of some residents who would love to have time stand still, Carmel is growing day by day. Here’s an update on four major projects in various stages of development:

Legacy

Legacy is the oldest and largest of the current and upcoming planned unit developments. This five hundred acre development spans the land southwest of the intersection of 146th Street and River Road. The origins of the project date back to 2006, when Platinum Properties of Carmel purchased the land from Earlham College. Although J.C. Hart built apartments on the northeast corner of the property in 2006, the planned construction of homes and businesses on the land stalled during the recession. The land was ultimately sold in 2011 by the financing bank to a Virginia-

Silvara

The Bridges

The Bridges is a 62-acre project with 500,000 square feet of office and retail space which runs along Springmill Road south of 116th Street. Construction is well underway for this mixeduse area being developed by Indianapolis-based Gershman Brown Crowley, which received original approvals in 2011. A CVS Site of future store at the site is nearly Mormon temple complete and scheduled to open in mid-October. “We have just signed a lease agreement with Jimmy John’s and we are in negotiations with several other retailers and restaurants, including quick service and sit-down,” the company’s Eric Gershman said. “Multi-family units are on our plan, but those are down the road.” The developers envision using a prairie style of architecture with old world stone bridges crossing numerous water features throughout the site.

The newest proposed development in Carmel, Silvara will be located right across the street from the Bridges, bordered on the south and east by 116th Street and Springmill Road, and on the west by Clay Center Road. The northern edge of the 266-acre development borders existing subdivisions. Currently, site plans have been submitted for primary plat approval. Plans call for a total of 422 developed lots, half of which would be smaller homes geared toward empty nesters and half of which would be more traditional single-family homes. “We very much envision a park-like setting,” said Larry Moon, president of the Indiana division of Republic Development Corp., which is headquartered in Toledo, Ohio. “We plan to preserve the 100 acres of the Williams Creek corridor, as well as the historic Hobby Horse Farms Barn, which will become a clubhouse and a focal point in the neighborhood.” Moon also said that there would be a heavy emphasis on walkability, with a multi-use trail system throughout the development. The governing style of the architecture will be historical Indiana themes.

based investment group called Falcon Nest, which in turn hired Platinum Properties back on as the project manager. According to Paul Rioux, president of Platinum Properties, the project is now back on track with its original vision. “This development is really the last piece of the puzzle on Carmel’s east side,” Rioux said. “It will really bring a neighborhood feel to the area while preserving a great deal of the natural parts of the land.” Of the 500 acres which comprise the Legacy development, 100 acres will be preserved in their natural state, including 20 wooded acres and a 65-acre wetlands park. Three different builders will develop neighborhoods in Legacy: Ryan Homes, Ryland Homes and Wedgewood Building Company. J.C. Hart plans to add an additional 90 units to the existing apartment complex. The retail aspect of the project is called the Shops on River Road, and this will be at the site of the recently approved Ricker’s gas station.

Carmel Lakeside

This 34-acre planned unit development is owned by Atapco Properties. It is framed by City Center Drive, Clark Street, Carmel Drive and Guilford Road, but a smaller portion of the property also falls south of Carmel Drive. It’s currently home to the Lakeside Corporate Center, which will remain and become the center of the proposed development. While Carmel Lakeside will be mixed use, a majority of the space will be allocated to multifamily dwellings, with 284 three-tofour-story units planned in the first phase. “Although we are headquartered in Baltimore, Atapco has been a part of Carmel for many years,” said Russ Powell, Atapco’s vice president of acquisitions. “This development will be the gateway to the City Center, so we want it to have an urban, cohesive feel. We want to draw in young professionals who will thrive in this live-work-play environment. It will have great amenities such as a clubhouse with workout facilities, walking trails and restaurants.” Powell also noted that residents of neighboring communities, particularly Timber Creek and Carmel Station, have expressed concerns about traffic flow. “We have done traffic studies and we have heard the neighbors’ concerns,” Powell said. “We are incorporating those issues into our planning as we go forward.” Atapco’s application was issued a favorable recommendation at the Sept. 3 plan commission meeting, and their application will be presented before the city council at the Sept. 16 meeting. If all goes according to plan, the company hopes to break ground in the summer of 2014.

Let the people decide on arts

ACA denial It is our position that the state of Indiana should be properly prepared for the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. While the majority of Americans indicate dissatisfaction with the impending law, a repeal of the Affordable Care Act does not look promising. Perhaps the decision by the state not to create its own insurance exchange was an effort toward wishful thinking that an appeal would be granted. Maybe it was a budget issue or just plain defiance. As the saying goes, denial is more than a river. It is uncertain if the state of Indiana’s decision to default to federal government management of its health-care exchange will be a good one. The dominos are starting to fall as major employers begin the process of dropping coverage for spouses of employees. Businesses are cutting back the hours of part-time workers to avoid paying penalties for mandated health-insurance coverage. The spigot is just starting to leak with no real incentives for employers to continue to offer health-care benefits. Hopefully uninsured Hoosiers forced into a health-care exchange will be well informed and receive the kind of “Hoosier Hospitality” from the Feds that they were denied in their home state.

Bond, James Bond Commentary by Terry Anker It is one of the most famous names in literature and film. The moniker itself carries with it a panoply of characteristics that belie its relatively few number of letters. Of course, I mean none other than the international man of mystery, James Bond. Or should I say, Bond, James Bond. In spite of a history that has often been misogynistic, Ian Fleming’s secret agent is just as popular now as he was during the cold war that spawned him. Suave, debonair and more than a little dangerous, Bond represents the man that many men want to be and the man many women want to be with – at least as the song goes “for a little while.” What is it about these kinds of figures that appeals to us? It is more than the exotic locations, fast cars and expensive suits. Bond represents a live-on-the-edge kind of lone wolf life that very few, if any, real people chose to live. Instead, we choose stable, almost sedate, homes, families and careers. Even the most pedestrian

of travel, sartorial or domestic statement can stand out as exotic. A filled passport, tailored suit or custom home is far from commonplace. We cling to sameness, all the while living vicariously through these larger-than-life characters. The gap between how people imagine that they might live and how they actually choose to spend their time has long been of interest. Perhaps it is the specific function of fantasy to give us the opportunity to live a life so removed from our own that we experience the thrill of it without any of the consequence. But does it ever make sense to bring our imagined existences to life? Can it ever be wise to invite pretend danger to become real? For now, I’m satisfied with a martini – shaken not stirred.

Back in the day, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard formed the Mayor’s Arts Advisory Council. One of us was a member for approximately two years. It made sense that money disbursed to local arts organizations was done so without regard to politics. Brainard would present the committee with what he believed to be the best division of available dollars – an appropriation of one penny from every tax dollar collected – and then the committee members would go item by item through the proposal. There were questions addressed to the mayor about what the money specifically would be used for, and on multiple occasions the mayor would be challenged, sometimes vigorously, not only on use but also on a specific total or totals planned for a particular group or groups. Brainard was the only local-government representative; the rest of the members were Carmel taxpayers or local business owners. Now comes the notion that the Center for the Performing Arts administer the arts fund for the community. Our response: We don’t think so. The Center, which we hold as the crown jewel of our arts scene here, has enough to do, as does its board of directors, in keeping it chugging forward in a refreshingly positive way. Would Center staff be more attuned to the local arts scene? Perhaps, but a nonprofit should never be appointed “guardian” of local tax dollars intended for others of its ilk, and that’s no slap at the Center or its board. It could be forced into a compromising position, and for the Center we don’t want that. We believe Carmel City Council should relent at once and allow the mayor to restore his advisory committee. It’s worth noting that with the former committee, Brainard did not always get his every wish granted. It was a democratic process without regard for personal agenda. Let’s get back to that.

Resolutions a work in progress Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Um, have you looked at your New Year’s resolutions lately? I made the unfortunate mistake of doing so just this morning. Out of five goals for 2013, and with less than four humor months left, I can only draw a faint pencil line through one, maybe two. Let’s assess. Atop my list was painting our canary-yellow living and family rooms. I’ve wanted them changed since the day we made an offer on this house, more than three years ago, but I’ve done nothing to amend the situation apart from a one-time pulling of a paint-chip strip at Lowe’s in the brownish-beige category. Consequently, I’m calling an audible and will be swapping out “décor re-do” with “learn to shoot a gun.” I just read a very disturbing end-of-the-world novel and feel it’s the least I can do to protect my family when the looters/zombies arrive. Moving on. Another resolution was to swear less. This one was an epic fail, especially during the summer months. I simply cannot be expected to “keep it clean” with four children crammed into an un-air-conditioned mini-van while dealing with the construction nightmare on U.S. 31 in Westfield. How the freak am I supposed to get to Target gosh darn it? I also promised to cut back on my soda intake and actually did so during Lent. No wait, eliminating diet Coke only worked because I subbed-in

diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. But I do think I drink a tad less of the fizzy now, thanks in a large part to my new addiction to McDonald’s sweet tea. Super-size that mother! One thing I can definitely cross off is, “stop being so critical of my oldest daughter.” I am now very aware of what I say about her hair styles and clothing choices, and have done a remarkable job of keeping the judgmental bullcrap bottled up. As long as she is relatively clean and her booty cheeks aren’t hanging out, I support her unique and interesting fashion statements. You go, girl! I might also get away with checking off “make new friends.” I did, after all, join a yoga class last spring, and have actually talked a few times to the other dance moms. (Yes, I’m a dance mom.) But I must admit I would rather curl up with a good book than go out to a party with strangers. Maybe not the aforementioned doomsday hardback, because that just freaked me out, but a nice smut novel fireside always makes for a fine evening. There is still plenty of time to meet my goals. I’m not giving up the ghost yet, but I do feel a bit behind schedule. Hopefully you’re faring better with your own resolutions. Peace out.

Big donors need to step up

Commentary by John Acceturo

I happened to pick up the Arts section of the Chicago Tribune during a recent visit to that city and I was amazed at the number of arts organizations and events in philanthropy the city compared to the Indianapolis area. This made me very curious about how much the taxpayers of Chicago are contributing to the arts compared to Carmel. A search of the City of Chicago’s Web site indicates that the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events provides $1 million in grants annually. That didn’t seem much compared to Carmel taxpayers’ funding of the operation for The Center of the Performing Arts and its grants to the arts groups which add up to about $3 million annually. That amount plus the bond payments on the building’s $175 million construction tab for the Palladium and other theatres amounts to a big chuck of change. It makes you wonder if Chicago proportionately has more wealthy people than Carmel? Or are they just more benevolent? Maybe they have better attendance at the events, but even that would not make up for the much larger subsidies by Carmel taxpayers. Attendance wise, numbers put out by the Center for The Performing Arts indicate that it is doing well. A recent gift by Michael Evans, MD, of $48 million to Marian University’s new College of

READER’S VIEW 146th Street, what happened to you?

Try it in 3-D!

Editor, Poor thing. You were thought of originally as one of the main thoroughfares connecting Noblesville to the east and the western most part of Carmel. A true arterial line and motorway providing as free a movement as possible. A multi-lane fast track to breeze east or west and cut down commute time and get to Clay Terrace quickly, or one of the many neighborhoods, or multiple good places to eat; east to Allisonville Road to make one’s way to the pleasures of downtown

Osteopathic Medicine indicates that we do have benevolent people in Indianapolis. More amazing than that, the Indianapolis Zoo recently collected more than than $25 million to build its new Orangutan Center. Orangutans have cute reddish hair but I know that couldn’t be the reason they raised so much money. Carmel is the richest city in Indiana with a large number of extremely wealthy people, but only a small number have stepped up with major gifts to support our venues. Maybe Carmel just overspent, causing both the taxpayers and the local arts groups to bear the burden of what we have. The question is can the city continue to pay these subsidies? My experience as a donor tells me that relationships are important in securing donations. However, relationships with potential big donors weren’t built during the vision and construction phases in Carmel. Despite that, it is time for the more fortunate to step up and donate to support the arts in our community with big gifts. You know who you are. I won’t embarrass you by mentioning your names. Please give back to your community because you can afford it. It’s a good cause and it’s tax deductible.

Next week! Thursday, September 26th

Noblesville; west to Michigan Road and all the new shops there; or entry to Zionsville. And then someone must have forgotten to talk to Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, the roundabout savior of Hamilton County. He probably could have told someone in planning that all of these stop lights that have gone in and seem to be still going in now, especially the ones on the bridge over U.S. 31/Keystone, were going to defeat the purpose of this free flowing, proud street, and it would become just another stop and go boulevard where drivers would spend countless minutes of wasted time in the car twiddling their thumbs, texting, reading the paper, and other time tested - but not really good – ideas (except the thumb twiddling) while waiting for traffic lights to change. So, 146th Street, my good friend and link to many environs and shopping opportunities, may no more lights disturb your flow. May someone get in a helicopter and take a look at what’s been and is being done to you, and may someone in charge realize after this inspection that they keep taking something away from you and us the good drivers that use you. Your fluidity and our time. You and I both know that you need roundabouts to restore your good name, not more time wasting traffic signals. Andrew Blickman, 46074

I think I think way too much Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I was thinking about thinking the other day. I didn’t come up with anything profound, but it’s the thought that counts, right? Mary Ellen often says to me humor after a slip up on my part, “What were you thinking?” Admittedly, I probably wasn’t thinking at all, so I resent the sarcasm. My wife will also direct me, especially if am looking for a lost wallet or car keys to “think hard.” Okay. I will try, but at my age I don’t want to hurt myself. I must overthink things because when I wrote my book Mornings with Barney, Heidi, my proofreader, did a word search through my final manuscript and found the phrase “I think” about 60 times in 220 pages. “I think Barney knew he was on television” “I … think I had the most fun job in TV” … What was I thinking? “It’s a good thing you have a proofreader,” you might say to me. Ya think? Yes, I think a lot of people, especially writers, rely on the word “think” because we lack self-assurance, and you just read a very good example of that in this sentence. Meteorologists never say, “I think it is going to rain.” Maybe they should. A little humility goes a long way. My

barber never ever says, “I think this time I’ll give you a good haircut.” Come to think of it, I wish he would say that. Over the years my wife has made the mistake of asking my advice. “Dick, do you think we need to buy a new dishwasher?” “Let me think about it,” is my standard response. This is a bunch of hooey, of course. I’m not going to think about that. What I am really going to do is totally forget about the question until Mary Ellen asks me again and then I’ll tell her that after careful reflection I am going to leave it up to her. Occasionally, I do say, “I’ll sleep on it,” which never happens because I hardly ever sleep on anything except a full stomach. Consider this: “If you think this column wasn’t any good, you have another thing coming.” Thing? Don’t you have another “think” coming? Who invented that stupid phrase, anyway? Some government think tank, I’m sure. I think I have written just about enough on this topic. Actually, I am quite sure of it.

Candy wont make it to Halloween Commentary by Mike Redmond On Sept. 1, at a grocery store in Indianapolis, I made a right turn coming out of the cereal aisle and ran smack into three guys humor hurriedly stocking shelves with Halloween candy. Let’s review: Date of incident: Sept. 1. Date of Halloween: Oct. 31. Time between the two: plenty. It seems someone is in a hurry. Not that I have anything against Halloween, or anything against candy. I like them both and the fact that they are inextricably connected … well, that’s just a bonus. But I still think getting the candy out before Labor Day is rushing things a little. I also think it’s just asking for trouble. It is in my case, anyway. Here’s what I mean: I try to practice the Golden Rule of Halloween candy-giving. That is, I always give away candy that I would want to get, were I parading around in a costume extorting goodies from strangers. Anyway, the good stuff is my response to the disappointments of kidhood when you would go to someone’s house and wind up with a handful of war-surplus rock candy or a wrinkly apple. Call me a purist, but I don’t think Halloween should be the time when you give away something you found while re-organizing your refrigerator’s produce drawer. So whoever comes to my house gets little candy bars of the type that I favored as a kid:

Milky Way, primarily, but also Snickers, Three Musketeers, Mounds, Almond Joy, and of course good old Hershey Bars. It wouldn’t be Halloween without bite-size Hershey bars. OK, yes it would. But I like Hershey bars so they’re staying. There’s more to the story. There usually is. Little candy bars, you see, are the great foolers of the confection industry. You see a bowl of fun-size Milky Ways and what you’re really looking at are dietary land mines. “Oh, they’re fun size,” you think. “One or two won’t hurt.” But one or two turns into six or seven or fifteen and before you know it, you’ve had so much fun size fun that you’ve gained three fun size pounds. And I’m talking in one evening. Now, to get back to the grocery: Is anyone who buys Halloween candy in early September really going to leave it in the bag, unmolested, until the end of October? Highly doubtful. And so the old fun size conundrum begins and lasts for six weeks, which means by the time Halloween gets here you’ll be a blimp. If you’re me, I mean. And all because we’re rushing the season. Halloween candy before Labor Day, indeed. And that’s not the worst of it. On Aug. 31, I got a Christmas catalog.

Northside Nights Restaurant Week returns

By Nancy Edwards news@currentinwestfield.com

During this year’s annual fall Northside Nights Restaurant Week, foodies have more choices than ever. From gluten-free fries and vegetarian pizzas to filet mignons and DINING scrumptious miniature desserts, even the pickiest eaters will find something to savor from the 40 restaurants participating this fall. Each restaurant will be offering three-course meals for $30. Some will also include threecourse $20 lunch meals or even serve two people for $25. “(Restaurant Week) is a great way to get foodies out and guests who haven’t been out here before,” said Rokeena Williams, sales manager for Seasons 52, 8650 Keystone Crossing, Indianapolis. Williams said that this event, which is happening now through Sept. 29, allows guests to enjoy a “fine dining feel at a casual price.” After chowing down on chilled lobster and shrimp spring rolls for an appetizer, followed by an organic field greens salad and cedar roasted salmon and vegetables, guests may feel as though they’re too full to eat one of the awardwinning desserts at Seasons 52. No-guilt, individual-sized desserts at just 300 calories allows guests to satisfy that sweet tooth. The only problem will be trying to decide on the dessert: chocolate peanut butter swirl or a Starbuck’sinspired chocolate caramel macchiato. Harry and Izzy’s Castleton location, 4050 E. 82nd St., Indianapolis, will also feature menu options of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. Harry and Izzy’s features their world-famous St. Elmo

Harry and Izzy’s features its world-famous St. Elmo shrimp cocktail, among other gluten-free choices including peppercorn steak salad, house smoked pork chops, brick oven baked pizzas and “Colton” fries. The fries are named after Operating Partner Jeff Smith’s son, Colton, who wanted French fries that were gluten-free.

The fries are named after Operating Partner Jeff Smith’s son, Colton, who wanted French fries that were gluten-free. “We’re good about allergies here; our foods are never cross-contaminated,” said Leanna Chroman, training director for Harry and Izzy’s, which is a family-owned restaurant that uses local products. Guests participating with Restaurant Week may make a donation to Veggie U (www.veggieu.org/), a nonprofit organization that provides

teachers with Classroom Garden Kits and a five-week science curriculum for elementary and special needs classrooms, according to Susan Decker, CEO of Susan Decker Media. “The restaurants felt it was important to give back to the community,” Decker said. “The funds raised will allow us to donate some of the kits to local schools that we will help choose at the end of the campaign.” Other participating restaurants include: Chef Mike’s Charcoal Grill, Late Harvest, Cobblestone Grill, Eddie Merlot’s, Capri Restaurant, Stone Creek Dining Zionsville, Bella Vita, Smee’s Place, MacKenzie River Pizza (in Castleton and Carmel), Hall’s Castleton Grill, Stanford’s, 1881 Grille, OAKLEY’s bistro, Sullivan’s Steakhouse, J.

“Sunset Boulevard” is a dark, fascinating look at the underbelly of the glamour of 1940s Hollywood. Set to a complex musical theatre score by Andrew Lloyd Webber, it tells the tale of Norma Desmond, an aging silent film star who still clings to the alluring and powerful vision of her younger self. It is a demanding and intricately layered portrait of a woman who cannot deal with the reality of the present day. She copes by allowing herself to dwell in the past while slipping deeper into delusion and ultimately, madness. When the curtain rises on the central Indiana premiere of “Sunset Boulevard” at Footlite Musicals Theatre in Indianapolis, the role, which was originated on Broadway by Patti Lupone and also portrayed by legends such as Betty Buckley, Glenn Close and Elaine Page, will be played by Carmel’s own Laura Lockwood. Lockwood is a familiar face on the Indianapolis-area theatre scene. A veteran of Civic Theatre’s productions of “A Chorus Line” and “Guys and Dolls,” and Beef and Board’s “Cinderella” and “Camelot,” she was recently nominated for an Encore Award for her portrayal of Alaura in “City of Angels.” “I am very appreciative of the opportunity to play this complicated and dramatic character,” Lockwood said. “I have mostly played lighter, comedic roles. This has been a tremendous journey.”

By day, Lockwood helps take care of horses and special needs children at Children’s Theraplay Foundation in Carmel. She also is married with two children attending Depauw. The multi-talented Lockwood also did costume design for two shows at Civic Theatre this summer. “Sunset Boulevard” is directed by Rich Baker of Indianapolis, who said that he has watched six different productions of the show over the past several years to help him gain perspective for his own. “It’s easy to turn Norma into a caricature or camp it up,” Baker said. “I wanted her to be real for the audience; for them to really believe that they are seeing a woman who had it all and lost it all and is now losing her mind as a result much like Doris Day, who was everyone’s darling in her heyday and now won’t be seen in public. Everyone dreams of fame, but it’s fleeting. So be careful what you wish for.” • Where: Footlite Musicals Theatre, 1847 N. Alabama St., Indianapolis • When: Sept. 20 through Oct. 6 • Tickets: Weekend tickets are $20; Thursdays are $10 • More info: brownpaperbagtickets.com; 926-6630 • Note: “Sunset Boulevard” is not suitable for young children.

“Always, Patsy Cline” opened Sept. 13 at Actor’s Theatre of Indiana at the Studio Theater in the Center for the Performing theatre Arts. The show tells the true story of a friendship between the singer and a devoted fan who befriended her at a Texas honkytonk. It features Patsy Cline’s greatest hits including “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Sweet Dreams” and “Walking after Midnight.” “Always, Patsy Cline” is a two-woman show which also features a six-piece honky-tonk band. Judy Fitzgerald plays the title role and Cynthia Collins portrays her letter-writing friend and fan, Louise Seger. A total of 29 songs are woven throughout the piece, intermingled with the story of a bond between two women and the tragic accident that ended Cline’s bright career all too soon. “It’s been a challenge and an honor to portray such a legendary artist,” Fitzgerald said. “I didn’t know most of these songs when we started rehearsals, but they’re amazing. Patsy Cline was the first female cross-over artist of her time; she had hits simultaneously on the country and pop charts. For such a short time on this earth, she had a huge impact on the music world and her songs are timeless.” The show is directed by Bill Jenkins with musical direction by Terry Woods.

Easing your daughter’s anxiety Commentary by Courtney Browne, MD

Scheduling the first visit with a gynecologist can make many teen girls and younger women feel anxious. Most aren’t prevention sure what to expect, and there is usually apprehension about the physical exam. Moms can be a trusted source of information and a good resource for daughters who are preparing to see a gynecologist. One common question young women ask is “when should I go for my first exam?” All women should have their first pelvic exam and Pap smear by age 21. Your daughter may need to visit a gynecologist earlier if she is experiencing menstrual problems, such as irregular periods or heavy menstrual bleeding. Your family doctor or pediatrician may recommend consulting a gynecologist for conditions such as pelvic infections, ovarian cysts and breast problems. Parents also seek information and counseling from gynecologists on the HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine, which most doctors recommend for girls between the ages of 11 and 12 – and definitely before a woman becomes sexually active. When choosing a doctor for your daughter, remember that some girls may feel more com-

Donald Robert Silvey, 69, of Carmel, Indiana passed away on Thursday, September 5, 2013 after a struggle with cancer. Don was born on May 27, 1944 to the late Walter and Velma Silvey of Irvington, Indianapolis. He graduated from T.C. Howe High School in 1962. He graduated from Purdue University in 1968 with a degree in civil engineering, with an emphasis in environmental engineering. Don obtained his professional engineer’s certification in 1970. Throughout Don’s career he designed sewage and water treatment plants throughout Indiana, including Carmel, Fishers, Lebanon, Speedway, and Greenfield, as well as cities and towns in both northern and southern Indiana. Don retired from Commonwealth Engineers as a principle and co-owner in 2004. Don was a member of The Academy of Environmental Engineers and active in the Indiana Water Pollution Control Association for over thirty years. After retiring, Don became the President of the Hamilton County Airport Authority, where he worked tirelessly to promote aviation at Indianapolis Executive Airport and economic development in the area. Don had a wide variety of interests. An avid outdoorsman from an early age, Don was active in Ducks Unlimited and was happiest when surrounded by nature. Also, Don was fascinated with American military history. Don was proud to be a past president of the Indiana Antique Arms Collectors Association and a member of the American Society of Arms Collectors. While Don had many interests, his primary focus was always his family. He is survived by his beloved wife Sara, their children Kathy Mayberry (Sean), Craig Dragoo and Brent Dragoo (Melissa); grandchildren Daniel, Matthew, Carter and Emerson; sister Kathleen Schneider; nephew, Jeff Schneider; niece, Beth (Bret) Troutman and three great-nieces. His oldest grandson frequently noted that what made him such a wonderful grandfather was that he was always there for them and never let them down (and came through with lots of candy). Visitation was held from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Monday, September 9, 2013, at Flanner and Buchanan – Carmel, 325 East Carmel Drive. Memorial services were at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, September 10, 2013, at Carmel Lutheran Church, 4850 East Main Street, Carmel, Indiana. Burial will be private. Attendees are invited to bring a written memory of Don to be shared with his grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to The Donald R. Silvey Civil Engineering Scholarship Fund, Purdue University, 403 West Wood Street, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907.

Keep the family healthy at expo – Riverview Hospital is sponsoring the inaugural Health & Wellness Expo, which offers advice and ideas on how the entire family can live healthier and happier lives on Sept. 21 and 22 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

fortable seeing a gynecologist with experience treating teenagers and younger women. Typically, these doctors more fully understand the fears and anxiety associated with the first office visit and approach the topic in a way that makes adolescents and younger women feel more at ease. It’s not unusual for gynecologists who have experience with younger women to spend several minutes just talking to the patient to help build a foundation of trust. It also can be comforting for girls and young women to know that in some cases, a physical exam may not be necessary depending on the issue. For example, many infections can be diagnosed with a simple urine test. As most grown women remember, the female body undergoes a great deal of change during adolescence and early adulthood. Your daughter will likely have a lot of questions about her changing body. As a mom, you can help by keeping the lines of communication open and engaging in open and honest conversations when new issues or circumstances arise. Courtney Browne, MD, specializes in obstetrics and gynecology. She is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Women’s Health, 11725 N. Illinois St., Indianapolis. She can be reached by calling the office at 688-5200.

Alzheimer roundtable – Riverview Hospital will host a roundtable discussion from 6 to 7 p.m. Sept. 19 in the Krieg DeVault Conference Room to help educate the community about Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and memory loss. The panel, led by neurologist Michael Levine, M.D., includes experts from the Alzheimer’s Association, CICOA and other long-term care partners. A light dinner will be served. The program is free, but registration is required. Reservations may be made at www.riverview.org or by calling 776-7999. New aortic stenosis option – Community Health Network’s Heart and Vascular Hospital now provides a new option for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis who are considered inoperable or high risk for open aortic valve replacement surgery due to age or other complex health factors. The transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure that can improve patients’ length and quality of life. For more information, visit www.eCommunity.com/heart.

Beat boredom with simple strategy Commentary by CJ McClanahan

It’s been said that I lack patience and have a very short attention span. While I don’t necessarily enjoy this criticism, rarely do I disagree move the needle with the assessment. I want things done my way and at my pace. In addition, when I get bored, I want to move on to something else that interests me as quickly as possible. Just ask my wife, my staff and my friends. Guess who else is like me - most entrepreneurs, sales professionals and small business owners. We like new things. This is not a character flaw – it’s who we are. However, 10 years of working with executives has taught me that there can be a significant downside to this personality profile. Because we get bored with the same routine over and over again, we tend to overlook the simple fundamentals that always lead to success. For example, this type of individual typically dreads the mundane staff meeting. The last thing they want to do is review the status of projects, customers or staff members. As a result, these meetings are almost always postponed, rescheduled or shortened. This leads to an inconsistent and unpredictable culture. Next, an entrepreneur’s obsession with the future often results in the lack of any meaningful measurement of the past. This behavior results

in a poor understanding of costs, very little appreciation for the value of any particular customer and no sense for a sales pipeline. As you can imagine, it can be difficult to work with this type of an individual. While there are a ton of great ideas, it’s hard to understand which initiatives are the most important. If this sounds familiar, don’t panic. There is hope. These three simple tactics have helped me to gain focus and led to tons of progress. First, get clear about what’s really important and never forget that everything can’t be important. Sometimes knowing what not to do is more important that another great idea. Next, develop a list of the weekly tactics that absolutely must become a habit in your professional start. If you’re not sure where to start, try these. Plan the week in advance, hold a regular staff meeting and review client satisfaction. Finally, the best leaders are self-aware and recognize that they make a ton of mistakes. They end every day by asking themselves one simple question – “If I could do anything differently, what would it be?” As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute. CJ McClanahan is the founder and president of reachmore, a leadership training and consulting firm, and also the author of “Thrive.” To contact CJ, or to find out more about reachmore, go to www.goreachmore.com.

• TL;DR: This is an acronym made popular on Internet forums like Reddit. It stands for “too long; didn’t read.” The Internet demands brevity, apparently. • Selfie: A photograph taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam. You may remember a number of congressmen who’ve seen their careers implode over ill-advised selfies. • Twerk: Dancing in a sexually provocative manner. If you saw Miley Cyrus’s VMA performance, that was “twerking” … among other things. • Bitcoin: A digital, non-centralized currency. Bitcoins are used as a peer-to-peer currency, and as such don’t require a bank or other institution for transactions. I’m glad the OED has made a point of recognizing contemporary language usage, no matter how banal some of it may seem. Time will eventually weed out the worthwhile words, and leave the rest by the wayside. At least I keep telling myself that.

I have written often about language as a fluid, evolving system. Dictionaries – the guide to the system – are obviously grammar guy compelled to evolve as well. New words are added yearly, typically in large batches, after a sufficient amount of time and “mainstreaming.” In the 1980s, when cosmetic lipoplasty began to hit the scene (the procedure had been around for a while before that, of course), dictionaries added the word we all know it by: liposuction. In 1990, in what I can only imagine was hailed as a long-overdue recognition of modern life, the word “paperclip” was officially recognized. I wonder what we called it before that? In August, we got another batch of words added to the Oxford English Dictionary … and I’d be lying if I said some of them didn’t worry me a bit. But, language rolls ever onward I suppose. In the spirit of progress, here are a few of the more … interesting … words Oxford has chosen to recognize: • Jorts: Denim shorts. • Emoji: A small, digital image or icon used to express and idea or emotion.

As we solemnly remember the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on our country, we take time to acknowledge the role that canines our canine companions played in the recovery efforts. In the aftermath of the World Trade Center collapse, canine search and rescue teams were deployed to skillfully search the rubble for signs of life. The dogs suffered many of the same challenges as their human handlers; cuts and abrasions from the debris, breathing difficulties due to the dust and other respiratory irritants, and mental and physical exhaustion from their daunting task of founded in 1996 with the mission to strengthen searching for survivors. These dogs and their the disaster response efforts across the world. handlers that served in the clean-up were teams Wilma Melville, the unlikely founder of SDF, was that had been trained for months in advance for a retired physical education teacher and granddisasters of any kind through the Search Dog mother of four1children when she began her reFoundation (www.searchdogfoundation.org).

Murphy. She and Murphy were deployed to the site of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. She soon recognized the value of search and rescue teams as well as the need for more highly skilled teams that could be deployed anywhere in the world on short notice. To date, the SDF has deployed teams to the site of Hurricane Katrina, the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan, and the tornadoes in Joplin, Miss., and Oklahoma City among other disaster sites. The SDF recruits dogs from shelters and breed specific rescue groups to train as search and rescue dogs. Many of the characteristics in a dog that may lead naïve, frustrated owners to surrender their dogs are the very characteristics that are key in a good search and rescue dog. Successful SAR dogs must be bold, energetic and athletic with excellent focus and intensity and the need to work. They have a strong prey/ play drive and the insatiable appetite to play and not stop until the “toy” or human is found.

They must be able to filter out loud and sudden noises and other distractions that are common on the worksite. They must be sure footed and in good health with the ability to endure extreme temperatures. Common breeds used in SAR are Border Collies, Labradors, Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds. Dogs that do not successfully complete the SDF training program are carefully placed with loving families through their Lifetime Care program. How ironic is it that many of the dogs who have been thoughtlessly surrendered to shelters have risen to the status of national heroes? Truly one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. We are forever grateful for their service.

Describing the surreal landscape of Cappadocia is probably the only time the words “fairy” and “church” can be used respecttravel fully in the same sentence. In this region in central Turkey, fairy chimneys can become churches, tunnels can become cities and the incomprehensible can become settled theology. Cappadocia lies north of the Taurus Mountains, where a series of volcanic eruptions produced a plateau made of thick lava layers. Water and wind then eroded the lava, producing thousands of cone-shaped structures called “fairy chimneys,” some more than 120 feet tall and a few balancing hard caps on their improbably pointed peaks. For millennia, residents of Cappadocia have hollowed out the soft lava of the fairy chimneys to create homes resembling stone tepees, the porosity of the lava providing excellent insulation. After Christianity had come to Cappadocia through the missionary visits of Paul, the interiors of fairy chimneys became churches. The soft lava of Cappadocia also facilitated the expansion of tunnels into at least 36 full blown underground cities, some extending ten stories below the surface. Originally used by the Hittites almost 4,000 years ago, these cities were occupied by early Christians, perhaps to hide from Roman persecutors. After Christianity became legal, Cappadocians

helped resolve a theological controversy. When the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. decreed that God and Jesus were of the same substance [homoousios], many Christians objected, arguing that God and Jesus were obviously different. Theologians from Cappadocia, trained in Greek philosophy and called the “Cappadocian Fathers,” taught that things having the same substance can also have different expressions [hypostases], pointing to gold coins made from the same ingot but having faces of different persons. This conception of “God in three persons,” ratified by the Council of Constantinople in 381 A.D., ended the argument for many Christians.

Today’s visitors to Cappadocia can sleep in hotels carved inside fairy chimneys, tour underground cities with kitchens still black from cooking smoke and admire brilliantly colored 10th century frescoes in dark churches. And people for whom the Holy Trinity is important can thank the Cappadocian Fathers for at least trying to make it more understandable.

The gentleman, his home and leather

Commentary by Vicky Earley

I am always impressed by the gentleman who walks through my studio door in search of a better living space. decorating This is not a man who crosses the threshold with great reluctance because of pressure from a wife or girlfriend. This is a man who is not coerced and he is not in search of the stereotypical “man cave”. No, this gentleman walks in of his own accord and brings with him a strong identity and what he hopes to achieve in his home. This man recognizes that his environment impacts how he feels about the space that he lives in day to day, works from, and entertains in. He wants his home pulled together to reflect who he is … not who an Ikea catalog says he should be. The element of comfort is critical for a room that speaks to the male of the species. A chair or sofa has to be deep enough to comfortably accommodate the longer upper legs of men. Men are less likely than the women in their lives to curl up on a sofa so sitting upright in comfort is mandatory! Leather is probably the main element for a masculine space. No longer is

and mahogany furnishings. I think a Labrador Retriever just sauntered into my imaginary room with a pair of slippers in his mouth! When considering masculine décor, a nostalgic scent of pipe tobacco can almost be imagined and it is a style that wears well on its own, but works nicely with modern touches. Textiles reminiscent of a fine suit blend beautifully with rich paisleys and plaids. Men will almost always gravitate toward deeper colors. Charcoal gray, slate blue, merlot and chocolate brown are a few of my “go-to’s”. Complicated colors that are the result of undertones are the richest and often are not the most appealing at the paint store. Relevant artwork goes along way with male decorating. Works that reflect the occupant’s interest are outstanding choices. An avid sailor will revel in paintings of boats and shorelines while sports fans will appreciate a touch of memorabilia, such as framed jerseys or autographed photos. Globes and maps will speak to the adventure in a man while framed diplomas or certificates work as well. And don’t forget about the Labrador Retriever!
