According to an October report from health care watchdog Farmacy, Inc., a Johns Hopkins study released in the British Medical Jourwellness nal last month is proof enough that everyone should be careful when it comes to vaccinating against influenza. The report states: “Peter Doshi, Ph.D., charges that although the vaccines are being pushed on the public in unprecedented numbers, they are less effective and cause more side effects than alleged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” This comes after U.S. health care providers are encouraging and administering the vaccine more than ever. According to Doshi, in 1994, 32 million doses of the flu vaccines were available. This year, more than 135 million doses are available. “The vaccine may be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed, and the threat of influenza seems to be overstated,” Doshi said in the BMJ. But local doctors aren’t so convinced that this aggressive campaign in favor of vaccinating is a bad thing. “This is obviously a provocative article. We have seen very severe flu epidemics in the past and know that some strains of influenza can be lethal to some people,” stated Gaurav Arora, Ph.D., chief medical officer and medical director of the emergency department at Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital. “The immunization does seem to confer some protection and the risk of the vaccine is small. As a health care provider, we not only need to protect ourselves, but come into contact with patients in whom influenza can be lethal, so we owe it to ourselves and our patients to be immunized.” Last year, local hospitals began requiring that all

health care workers receive the flu vaccine, or were at risk of losing their jobs. The Indianapolis Coalition for Patient Safety launched a campaign and formed a flu vaccine work group. According to a release, the goal is “to unite in an effort to require flu vaccination for health care workers to continue making Indianapolis a safe place to receive health care.” Doctors from St.Vincent, Community Health and IU Health hospitals were all part of this campaign. Arora stated he gets the flu vaccine yearly. He is part of a large network of doctors who encourage their patients and families to get vaccinated. “I am glad to see the conversation generated by this article and hope it will lead to more larger scale scientific studies on the risks and benefits of the influenza vaccine,” he stated.

Reasons doctors are for and against the vaccine FOR • Reduces the risk of yearly strains of flu • Ninety percent of flu-related deaths occur in elderly patients • Even healthy people can get the flu • Can protect infants and those with weak immune systems

Hollywood likes to boast of big stars in big movies that “no one else could have played the part,” but in the case of “Maleficent” I think that’s demonstrably true. Only Angelina Jolie has the requisite combination of compelling screen presence, supernatural beauty and somewhat eerie star persona to play in this revisionist take on the Sleeping Beauty fable.

Red Hat Society draws Hamilton County followers By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Red Hat Society is alive and colorful in Hamilton County. Carmel resident Lorraine Boneclubs witz had learned of it from visiting a Red Hat Society store in Branson, Mo., and she and a friend from the East 91st Street Christian Church in Indianapolis thought it would be fun to start one at home. “We decided we would like to wear red hats and purple dresses and do something fun,” said Bonewitz, who holds the title of Queen Mum of her local chapter. So the group, called the YaYa Sisterhood, started with four women in 2004, soon grew to eight and has now grown to 14. Most of women are friends from the same East 91st Street Church. Most live in Carmel area and a few are from Fishers. The women meet once a month for tea and lunch on the third Thursday of the month. “Most of us do a lot of volunteer work in our community and our church,” Carmel resident Martha Stutzman said. “We thought it would be fun to get together for lunch without having to do anything, just enjoy each other’s company. So that’s what we do.” The group meet at each other’s homes, restaurants and naturally any tea shops in the area. The most recent gathering was held on Oct. 23 at Tina’s Traditional Old English Kitchen in Car-

mel, which is owned by Tina Jesson, who moved to the Indianapolis area from England in 2008. “The Queen Mum coming to a British tea shop — what better could it be,” Bonewitz said. Stutzman was the hostess for the event. The hostess usually brings a little gift for the women. Sutzman’s gift was red fascinators. “Women don’t like hat hair from wearing a traditional kind of hat so I took a cue from Kate Middleton (Duchess of Cambridge) who wore the little fascinators on the side of her head,” Stutzman said. Stutzman said it took two days to make the fascinators. She made 18 so the members would

have a choice. “It’s just a fun, creative outlet,” Stutzman said. The criteria for Red Hat Society membership is that women are 50 or older. Bonewitz, 70, said the average age of her group is about 75. Lois Lee, a Fishers resident, became a member about four years ago. “I had several friends who had invited me and when I was getting ready to retire I knew I was going to be free during the day,” Lee said. “Most of the women I know very well and we’re good friends. It’s great to be together.” Red Hat Legacy The Red Hat Society was started by artist Sue Ellen Cooper in California. It started when Cooper gave a friend a red hat and a copy of Jenny Joseph’s poem “Warning” in the fall of 1997 for her 55th birthday. The poem, which takes a goodnatured approach to aging, begins: “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple. With a red hat that doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me.” Per her friends’ request, Cooper repeated the gift a few times and the women eventually bought purple outfits and held a tea in April of 1998. Martha Stutzman said the idea of the red hats and purple dresses is “we are free to be who we are.” According to the Red Hat Society website (www.redhatsociety.com), the group grew to more than 40,000 chapters worldwide in the first five years.

Bingo Bonanza! returns Nov. 15 By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation is planning what town staff are calling an “inclusive event” called Bingo Bonanza! from 6 to 8 parks p.m. Nov. 15 at the Monon Community Center. What’s more, the parks department is in need the help from local businesses to make the event a success. The evening is called a truly inclusive community bingo night because it is meant to bring people with special needs or disabilities together with the rest of the community. “We have an adaptive department that does programs and events for participants with special needs and we also have someone in the community special events department such as myself,” said Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation events supervisor Traci Broman. “We realized there is no reason they should be doing their own adaptive bingo event, because it doesn’t make sense if the goal is to be inclusive.” Event planners are depending on local businesses to donate prizes and are asking for donations such as gift cards to use as awards for bingo game winners to make the event extra special. Broman stressed the value of inclusiveness and the desire for those with disabilities and their families to come together with the community in simple non-threatening events such as a relaxing fun Saturday night game of bingo.

Praises for the guild Commentary by Jeff Worrell Not only are they famous for putting words on paper, but their ability to entertain from the dais was a delight to volunteerism witness as well. Nationally renowned authors William Ken Krueger, Joanna Scott, Gail Sheehy, Matthew Thomas and Troy Cummings thoroughly wowed the audience at the Tenth Annual Guilded Leaf Book and Author Luncheon. It is doubtful that anyone in the room could have asked for a better event, but also unlikely they realize how much effort so many volunteers put in to making it a success. Julie Shadinger is guild president and gives high marks to everybody who played a role in the luncheon. She said, “I am proud of everyone who gave so much of their time and energy to make the day a success. This is the first year the Guild took over total responsibility for planning and executing the luncheon. It was a big undertaking.” Ginny Purvis served as chairwoman for the event. Shadinger reeled off numerous compliments including being impressed how Purvis reinforced the team members. She said, “She is spunky and upbeat with a generous heart. A great leader.” Carmel’s very own J. Andy Murphy served as moderator for the program which was at Ritz

There was also a committee chaired by Ann Hoover and Debra Schmitz. Their sole purpose was to study in detail over the summer, each of the books. More than 500 people attended and it felt like it took almost as many to put the event together.

Outcry over 126th Street stop sign By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Basketball legend Bobby “Slick” Leonard used to yell at referees about missed calls. But now the longtime Carmel resident is furious about what he says is a “bad government call” made by the city. “Slick” is angry about a stop sign at 126th Street and Auman Drive – and he’s not the only one. “It’s very ridiculous to me,” he said. “The people are sitting there bumper to bumper, using gas in their cars when there’s no reason for it. I could go on all day about it.” City Councilor Sue Finkam has introduced an ordinance to remove the 3-way stop that she claims creates long traffic backups just to let a few residents out. She said it’s inconsistent because there aren’t similar stop signs to let people out of other neighborhoods. Plus, residents could easily take Range Line Road if they prefer, she said. Finkam said the long backups could make it difficult for emergency vehicles. “In this case I can find no plausible reason to keep the stop sign where it’s at,” she said. “Other than the convenience of a neighborhood and that doesn’t outweigh the safety problems that having it there create.” But many want to keep the stop sign. City Councilor Eric Seidensticker said he also believes it’s a safety issue because the stop sign slows

XChocol’Art strikes gold By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For the past three summers, Joann Hofer visits Austria to hone her chocolate creation skills. The Carmel resident has worked at food the Zotter Chocolates plant for one month each of the past three summers. She also took a chocolate course in Italy last summer. “I bring all of my ideas back to Indiana,” said Hofer, adding she follows the high standard guided by the European tradition of chocolate making. The proven result is Hofer’s XChocol’Art, an artisan chocolate company based in Carmel that is producing award-winning chocolates. XChocol’Art recently won gold medals for best truffle collection – Classic and for best taste and flavor. Hofer captured silver in the best brand/chocolatier category from the International Chocolate Salon. “It was amazing to win it because there are many participants,” Hofer said. “The judges are very esteemed editors in the food industry. They are bloggers, chefs and chocolatiers themselves.” Her chocolates are available at her website and at Carmel Farmers’ Market. Carmel’s winter version of the farmers’ market will begin from 9 a.m. to noon on Nov. 15 in Founders Park building, at 116th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway. Her chocolates can also be purchased on her website (www.xchocolart.com). XChocol’Art is also a distributer for Zotter Chocolates.

Hofer and her husband Roland, an Austrian native, and two sons moved from Austria 14 years ago. Hofer started her company three years ago. Hofer is a member of Indiana Artisans, a group that represents the state in craft-making. “The use of dark, milk and white chocolate is very mainstream so I go a notch higher by only sourcing organic/fair trade and by also using ‘fruit chocolate’ where organic fruits are part of the cocoa process,” Hofer said in an e-mail to Current. “This gives my chocolates an extraordinary and original flavor.” Hofer said her inspiration comes from the farmers who provide her chocolate. She said she knows where her beans are grown, that the workers are paid fair wages and that no child labor is use.

Wine night will honor Kline By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com More than 200 friends and family of the late Amy Kline will be gathering at the Wine Night at the Ritz Charles on Nov. 8 with education the goal of establishing a second Amy Kline Memorial Scholarship through the Carmel Education Foundation. “I can’t tell you how many people have come forward to help us including local businesses and restaurants,” said Amy’s husband Spencer Kline. “It’s very heartwarming.” At the inaugural event last year, CEF raised $38,000, and $1,000 of that will be given as a scholarship in Amy’s name to a Carmel High School senior that will attend Indiana University to study education, and is also active in both school and community activities. November will mark two years since Amy’s untimely death at the age of 52 from uterine cancer and her family considers the scholarship a way to honor her devotion to being involved with her daughter’s education, her determination to be inclusive and devotion to the community. Describing Amy as his soulmate, Spencer said he still misses his wife terribly and finds comfort in awarding the namesake scholarship to a deserving student. “It does make me feel good to do it because she was so involved in the Parent Teacher Organization; she was PTO president six times, two times at each school and she just really did it to

try and help,” Spencer said. The Carmel Education Foundation reviews scholarship applicants and forwards the best matches of the scholarship criteria to the Kline family who chooses the recipient. “When kids are going off to college it helps,” said Spencer on awarding the scholarship money. “I know my kids got scholarships. If nothing else, $1,000 pays for the books.” For more information on applying for the Amy Kline Memorial Scholarship or to make a donation, visit the Carmel Education Foundation website at www.ccs.k12.in.us/foundation.

Amanda’s City-Chic Consignment has been buying and selling home décor and furniture since 2010. Its customdevelopment ers describe the locally owned, family run business as a place to find unique items that you won’t find at chain stores. Recently, Old Town Design Group announced its plans for the $100 million-plus redevelopment of the Midtown area. The developer bought consignment shop’s building from the landlord and plans to tear down the building in the coming years. This has led many loyal shoppers to ask: What will happen to this successful local business? Amanda Newman, owner with her husband Jeff, said they won’t be going away. “We are still under lease for another year, so we don’t plan on going anywhere for at least that time,” she said. “And even with that, it could be two or three years until the building is actually demolished. We just want to get across to our customers that we’re not closing. We may move, but we will definitely be very accessible.” In 2002, Newman opened her first shop, Carmel Consignment, and has since expanded with four stores in total, each specializing in different clientele. Information on each store can be found at www.yourconsignmentconnection.com. When they opened their location along Range Line Road, Newman said she knew the city had an interest in developing the area, but nobody knew how long that would take. Since the location has been successful, Newman said she is certain she wants to find a new space when that time comes, which she emphasizes isn’t for quite some time. “It’s definitely in the back of our mind,” she said. “We’ve talked to several people who want our type of business in their area. It does require a lot of space, so this was the perfect building for us because it had a warehouse attached for our inventory. So we know probably in Carmel we won’t find an ideal building like this, but we are open to exploring a lot of different options.”

Owner of Amanda’s City-Chic Consignment, Amanda Newman, said, “We’re not closing.” (Photo by Adam Aasen)

Andrew Greenwood, partner with Old Town Design Group, said retail space will be available at “market rate” to any business who is interested in inquiring. “This consignment shop is a great example of a locally owned business that is making a positive impact on the area,” he said. “We are still early in the process, but Amanda’s City-Chic Consignment is more than welcome to talk to us about space in our new buildings. We already talked a little bit and as we move forward we are open to more communication.” Newman said she isn’t opposed to moving into one of the new Midtown properties, but it’s way too early to decide that just yet. “It’s something we’ll explore when the time gets closer,” she said. “It sounds like it will be a nice development.” Still, her customers hope that Newman’s business will be around for a long time. One Amanda’s customer, Julie Litzsinger, said she loves that the shop sells high-quality furniture at a great price. “I am having so much fun finding what I need,” she said. “I have found a two-bedroom town house filled with furniture at consignment stores.”

District’s own western writer By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com It was in the Phoenix airport where Phil Dunlap found his inspiration for a new career. Along with his wife Judy, diversion he had just spent his vacation hiking, touring and taking rides through the desert. And he loves the old West so much that he decided to pick up a $5 paperback Western novel at a Hudson Books before getting on his 4-hour flight home. “I finished the book and it Dunlap was just awful,” he recalls. “And I said, ‘I can write a better Western than this. If this clown can get published, then I can get published.’ So I went home and wrote a Western.’” Dunlap, a longtime newspaper reporter who lives in Carmel, has had 13 books published. He has two more novels completed that he’s already submitted. The Western novel writer will be available for a meet-and-greet at the Carmel Clay Public Library on Saturday Nov. 1 from 1 to 4 p.m. Attendees can ask him questions and get their copies signed. It’s part of the library’s local authors event. Wannabe writers can learn how to get published with a presentation by Nancy Niblack Baxter of the Indiana Writer’s Center at 2 p.m. Registra-

tion is not required, but for more information, call 844-3362. Dunlap has always had a love for the old West and describes himself as “an adventurous type, basically a romantic.” But it took him decades to find this path. In Hamilton County, Dunlap was known for many years as a correspondent for The Indianapolis Star, covering government meetings. Now, he’s traded nonfiction for fiction, as he creates a cast of recurring characters. Except, of course, the bad guys. Dunlap always kills them off at the end. One series follows Cotton Burke, a sheriff in New Mexico, and his deputy who is in love with a town prostitute. Another series follows a deputy U.S. marshal, a lone wolf-type who befriends an Apache Indian when he saves his life. It’s a world filled with gunslingers, saloons, scalawags and dance hall girls. Dunlap said he might try writing romance novels next, but jokes that, “I’m too old to start writing romances. That would be embarrassing.” In the meantime, as Dunlap waits to hear back from publishers – as most authors have to do – he’s always staying busy coming up with new stories about the bygone era of the 19th century West.

community and they will openly give you lots of their time,” Claymon said. “They’ve been wonderful to work with and it’s a great reflection on Carmel and while we live in Carmel. People are accessible.” Austin has had several birthday parties at some kind of emergency response facility. Austin, shy by nature, asked Hoffman a series of prepared questions on how to become a firefighter. Although the state minimum is a high school degree, Hoffman informed Austin those with the best chance of getting a job have a four-year college degree. Firefighters also have to be physically agile and strong enough to climb stairs with a heavy pack on their backs, raise ladders and swing sledgehammers. “They have to be able to drag a dummy that weighs 185 pounds so it would be like dragging a person from a house fire,” Hoffman said. “So you have to be in good physical shape.” Austin said he is eager to help with the Carmel Fire Dept.’s food basket drive in December. Hoffman said the department receives food donations from companies. “Some of the grocery stores donate gallons of milk, turkeys and loaves of bread and eggs,” Hoffman said. “We get together with the boys scouts and everyone on the list gets free boxes of food. We deliver food to people who need help over the holidays.” His father said Austin is interested in any way he can to continue to help Hoffman and his fire department. “Austin knows it has been very special to be able to spend time with such an important person and learn more about the profession he so much wants to be associated with,” Claymon said.

Austin Claymon combines community project with passion for firefighting By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ever since Austin Claymon can remember, he has loved fire trucks and emergency response vehicles. In fact the Midwest cover story Academy eighth-grader has a desire to be a firefighter some day. So when it came time for Austin to do his community service project as part of his bar mitzvah, he thought how could he help the fire department. Austin and his father, Matthew Claymon, met with Carmel Fire Chief Matt Hoffman in the spring. “This is the first time we had someone come in on their own and say I’d like to do this kind of drive for kids who might be scared and provide this kind of comfort,” Hoffman said. “It was a brilliant idea and he did an outstanding job.

Carmel Fire Chief Matt Hoffman provided a television tip to Austin Claymon for his viewing pleasure. Hoffman suggested Austin watch reruns of “Emergency!” The TV show is about the Los Angeles Fire Dept., and the series ran from 1972 to 1979. Hoffman has renewed his love for the show by watching the show on WTHR-13.3. When Hoffman got rid of cable two months ago, he learned that channel carried his favorite show. “When I was a kid I watched and that’s the whole reason I’m doing my job,” Hoffman said. “I wanted to be John Gage, one of the characters. Great show. I’m now almost 48 years old and I try to watch it every night when I get home. It hasn’t changed. If you get a chance, watch it. Those were my heroes growing up. I got lucky enough I got to do it.”

What’s a Bar MItzvah?

Included in his bar mitzvah invitation was a request from Austin that they bring a stuffed animal or nerf football or basketball toys to donate to the fire department. His guests from his September bar mitzvah came through with dozens of stuffed animals and toys, and some cash donations, for the fire department. Austin, who turned 14 on Aug. 7, presented it to Hoffman on Oct. 27. Hoffman said the stuffed animals provide comfort to children who might be hurt or afraid of riding in the ambulance.

Bar mitzvah is the coming-of-age ceremony in the Jewish religion. When a boy reaches 13, he is recognized as being an adult in the eyes of the religion and morally responsible for his own actions. The boy also has completed a course of study in Judaism, which takes years of Hebrew schooling, tutoring and practice. The words bar mitzvah translates to “son of commandment”” Bat mitzvah is a ceremony for girls who have reached the age of 12. Austin’s sister Lily, 12, and a Creekside Middle School seventh grader, celebrated her bat mitzvah at the same time as Austin on Sept. 6. When the bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah are held together, it is called a b’nai mitzvah. Lily’s community project was raising donations for Indiana Canine Assistant Network, whose mission is to train and place assistance dogs with persons of disabilities. Per her requests, guests donated dog toys and treats.

“He’s a very good-natured person that always wants to help people,” Claymon said of Austin. “It’s great being able to combine being a good person and something he has a passion for. Maybe doing these things as young man will make him more and more involved with helping people and maybe learning more about a career that might interest him.” Claymon said he was thankful to Hoffman and Carmel. “It’s pretty impressive that in a community like this you can reach out to the leader of the

FROM THE BACKSHOP Hillary runs off at the mouth again At a Democratic rally last month in Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton’s attempt to assault “trickle-down economics” resulted in a stunningly anomalous statement. The Washington Free Beacon reports that Clinton defended raising the minimum wage, saying, “Don’t let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs, they always say that.” She went on to say, according to the Beacon, that businesses and corporations are not the job creators of America. “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” the former secretary of state said. OK, that’s so much horse bleep that it isn’t even logical. We hope it strikes you the same way. How, then, are jobs created, Mrs. Clinton (except for government, of course, where there are as many positions with lifetime benefits as there are paper clips in the backs of long-forgotten desk drawers)? And what about all the speeches you were hired to give to Goldman Sachs and others for large sums of money? Wouldn’t those be jobs, albeit short-term? Cashing checks for $12 million in the 16 months since leaving the State Department, and trickling down into your wallet? Yes! The liberals always look for ways to twist your mind and expect you to step right in line – except for when it comes to rules, and then they only apply to those of us on the other side of the fence. Keep in mind the woman uttering such nonsense likely will be the Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. presidency in 2016. She is the once-referred-to “Smartest Woman in the World.” The mainstream media loved that one. All she has shown us in the way of intelligence is she married well. She’s just another in a long line of bloated-government proponents looking to reach into the pockets of business owners and entrepreneurs. What’s worse, she believes what she says. Here’s hoping the weak-minded liberal media makes her eat her words. Whom are we kidding? That’ll never happen.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Hope for not-for-profits? Commentary by Terry Anker This month, the charitable industry’s stand, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, published an extensive review of giving in America. For the past two years, it has been collecting data from a variety of sources and working to ensure the highest level of granularity given the Herculean nature of the big-data task. Much of the news was not particularly surprising. It echoed Alexis de Tocqueville’s work at the country’s founding – Americans are very generous. Yet like all anticipated news, when one looks closely there is always something new to learn. Marion County gives, elevating itself to a higher category per capita than those nearby. It is something that is worthy of further investigation – and it will get it. In a particularly interesting infographic, the Chronicle highlighted a handful of measures that it considered of note. The Southeast gives a great deal more than the Northeast. Utah is the undisputed winner in caring – really, without compare. And, the most personally generous states all voted for Mitt Romney in the last

election (top 17). Religion is a factor. Folks in these states tended to be closer to the traditional American, some might say conservative, values of church and caring for others. Some have also argued that people who prefer to tax rather than give don’t find a moral imperative in personal generosity. Whatever the reason, it leads to an interesting conundrum. If America is moving toward a more politically liberal agenda, can our established institutional not-for-profits hope to survive the transition to a fully governmentbased support system? Will all who care for the sick, poor, hungry, arts and other interests ultimately be in the employ of Uncle Sam? And if the IRS becomes our philanthropic advisor, are we somehow better served? Does El Jefe bigger government make us more moral and the poor less downtrodden? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

Q U O T E   O F  T H E   W E E K Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start of winning game.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I used to avoid the news like the plague (or Ebola to be timely). “How can you live in this day and age and not be up on current events?” my husband Doo would ask. “You were a history major, for God’s sake!” True dat, Doo. But frankly, it bummed me out. I had four babies to keep alive and I just didn’t have the time or energy to think about elections or economies or energy efficiency. But my decision to live in blissful ignorance was put on hold when I went back to teaching. For the sake of our future leaders, I had to get my schtick together. At first it felt good. I liked being able to join in on Obamacare conversations and offer intelligent insight on the latest Chinese crisis. I’d even preference my astute observations with “I just heard on NPR” or “Did you see that article in the New York Times?” to subtly brag about my newfound worldly awareness. Listen to me! I’m smart! But after four years of blowing off Bob & Tom and Cosmo, I’m ready to revert to my unplugged self. It’s all too much. Between the Middle East, Africa, Russia and domestic issues, my anxiety at three in the morning is in overdrive. Add to that pre-dawn stress an ounce of overactive imagination and two of the sense that I should be doing something to help, and you’ve got a strung-out mom incapable of restful sleep. So I’m calling it quits. The world at large can continue to muddle onward, but I’m checking out. Before you fire off a hate mail, rest assured I’ll continue to scan the headlines daily to stay subconsciously aware of local, national and international goings-on. But for the sake of my sanity, I need a break. With kids, struggling students, a demanding job and five disgusting toilet bowls constantly flipping me the bird, I have enough things to worry about. (How are we going to afford car insurance for my 16-year-old and when exactly am I going to get around to cleaning the aforementioned porcelain thrones?) If I do find the time for a book or TV, then I choose to be entertained, not informed. That’s why I’m currently reading Chelsea Handler’s “Uganda Be Kidding Me” and watching the oddly-addicting nautical reality series “Below Deck.” Doo’s Economist can march itself right back over to his bedside table. I now prefer to escape from this world, not dive deeper into it. I understand that many of you, like Doo, feel incomplete when you don’t get your nightly dose of Brian Williams. You go! But for me, no news is, once again, good news. Peace out.

READERS’ VIEWS Vote for Brooks Editor, I am writing to urge readers to cast their vote for Congresswoman Susan Brooks on November 4. Her passion for public service, tireless work ethic and proven track record of results make her uniquely qualified to continue serving 5th District Hoosiers in the U.S. House of Representatives. Since joining Congress, Susan has focused on growing our economy and connecting more Hoosiers with quality job opportunities. She’s drafted legislation that provides local workforce innovation boards more flexibility to fund successful job placement programs. She’s also supported efforts to repeal bad taxes that stop Hoosier companies from making new hires. In addition, she’s kept our youngest Hoosiers in mind, introducing legislation allowing more kids to learn 21st century skills like Computer Science in our K-12 classrooms. As our nation continues to face growing threats to our security, Susan has the background and determination necessary to ensure we’re protected from those seeking to do us harm. She’s led on this issue as both a U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana and now as a member of the Homeland Security Committee. At a time such as this, I’m grateful she’s in our nation’s capitol working to keep our communities and most importantly our children safe. This election day, I will be casting my vote without hesitation for Congresswoman Susan Brooks. I hope my fellow 5th District Hoosiers will join me in supporting the candidate with the passion, experience and leadership to keep getting the job done. Murray Clark Murray Clark is formerly Chairman of the Indiana Republican Party.

Coyote attacks? Editor, I am writing you because I am curious to know if Carmel keeps track of coyote attacks on pets. My pet, a Yorkshire Terrier named Cowboy, disappeared from our yard two weeks ago and was found by a member of our community. This person took a picture of my dog, and it was apparent from the image that he was attacked by a wild animal. We had our dog microchipped, and we kept him in the yard with an Invisible Fence. Our house has a dog door so he was able to go in and out as needed. Obviously, I feel terrible that I didn’t do enough to protect him, and I greatly underestimated the risk of wildlife in the area. I can’t plead ignorance because I know a neighbor said something to

me years ago about seeing a coyote in my neighborhood, and after the fact I heard that there was a committee to investigate coyote issues that was headed up by our mayor. That said, I would like to do whatever I can to get the word out to others so another family doesn’t have to experience this. We were pretty wrecked by it. He was an awesome, loving, spunky, little dog. A thought I had was to put a small column in The Current to keep a running total of coyote/pet situations, and possibly a small space for people to post pictures of lost/found pets.

Dance ensemble Barre-ing it all By Joseph Knoop • news@currentzionsville.com The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble is holding its 15th anniversary season fundraiser with its new theme “Night at the Barre” on Nov. 8. The CIDE, a pre-professional dance ensemble and resion stage dent company of The Center for the Performing Arts, will be providing a talent showcase of both the company’s dancers, as well as a variety of guest performances. The fundraiser will help provide scholarships to CIDE students, special choreography opportunities, and performance and costume expenses. Guest performers include Carmel High School Camerata Symphony Orchestra and a performance choreographed by the late Gerald Arpino, one of the founders of the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago. A special apprentice level girls group will also perform, with more to potentially be announced. “It’s amazing working with our repertoire that came down,” said Suzanne DeLay, artistic director for the Central Indiana Dance Ensemble. CIDE also will hold a silent auction during the event. Prizes range from

sporting memorabilia to tickets for Indiana Pacers and Indianapolis Colts games, as well as hot air balloon rides and vacation expenses.

On Nov. 26, the Ireland-based group Celtic Thunder will perform at The Palladium. Current in Carmel spoke with singer Ryan Kelly music prior to his arrival in the U.S. What are your favorite songs to play from the new holiday album? One thing I loved about recording the album is that we got to cover some of the most beautiful, classic Christmas songs with real meaning behind the words. Amongst those, I felt fortunate to record a song that has always been a favorite of mine, “In the Bleak Midwinter,” as a solo. How do your individual personalities lend to benefit the whole group? Being one of the original members of “Celtic Thunder,” I’ve seen the composition of individuals within the group change over the years, but one thing that has always been the backbone of our group has been the different personalities and singing styles and voices that have made up the lead vocalists. What are your hopes for the upcoming 20-city tour, and what are you most looking forward to? Basically to enjoy it! It’s definitely not lost on me that me, a singer from a small village in the North of Ireland, is being given the opportunity to sing with the amazing musicians with 20 of the most talented symphony orchestras in the United States.

The group Celtic Thunder will be in Carmel this month to perform their holiday series of songs. (Submitted photo)

Where are you based when you aren’t on tour? Well, when I’m not on tour with Celtic Thunder or touring with Neil Byrne with our acoustic gigs, “Byrne and Kelly,” I’m delighted to get to spend some time in my home village of The Moy in county Tyrone in the North of Ireland. Do all of you have a background in this style of music? Whilst we do come from various backgrounds musically, with some of the guys having more experience in the study of classical music and orchestral pieces, whilst some of us have more folk or singer/songwriter backgrounds, I know that I, personally, have always aspired to sing with a symphony orchestra and I know a lot of the other lads are the exact same.

‘Golda’s Balcony’ now on stage news@currentincarmel.com Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre in Carmel is pleased to present Broadway’s longest running one-woman show, “Golda’s Balcony,” as this season’s second production. The theater show is running now until Nov. 8. Indianapolis actress Miki Mathioudakis will take the stage as Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir for the second time in her stage career. “From my prior experience, I hope to bring a well-rounded understanding of Jewish traditions and the situation in the Middle East to the role,” Mathioudakis stated in an e-mail to Current. “Being an ordained minister in the Christian Church, I have observed similarities in the Jewish faith that are helping me relate to Golda Meir and her religion.” William Gibson’s “Golda’s Balcony” follows the life of Meir from her impoverished childhood in Russia to her time as the fourth prime minister of Israel. The play examines Meir’s personal and public life and provides intimate insight into the power, strength and idealism which caused many to regard her as a legendary world leader during a time of great conflict. “In relation to recent events in Israel, this story is a reminder that war is without end,” Mathioudakis stated. “‘Golda’s Balcony’ shows that war is not a one-sided story, and it strengthens the notion that everybody, regardless of their

Sakana of Tokyo Bar and Sushi By Maria Leichty • news@currentinwestfield.com Earlier in October, the Sushi on the Rocks near the intersection of 82nd Street and Allisonville Road changed ownership and bedining came Sakana of Tokyo. Owner Batbold “Bart” Tsevegmid has been in the sushi business for 17 years. Originally from Mongolia, Tsevegmid worked for a sushi restaurant in Jeffersonville, Ind., for 11 years before opening one in Chicago. He said he wanted to return to Indiana so he opened Sakana of Tokyo. “It is a nice atmosphere and good location,” Tsevegmid said. “All we need is good food and service.” Some changes to the menu include the fresh fish that comes in a couple of times a week, the larger portions and the homemade sauces. Tsevegmid said he also likes mixing up the ingredients. He has customers create their own because he likes to work without menus. “I want to give them a choice of what they want,” Tsevegmid said. The different lunch specials and bento boxes provide lots of variety. Lunch specials are between $7 and $9 and come with a soup starter, choice of California roll, shrimp tempura or dynamite rolls, salad, an egg roll, steamed rice and two gyoza (similar to dumplings). Some rolls Tsevegmid suggests are the “very

unique and very healthy” mango and salmon Hawaiian roll and the Red Bull roll which comes with steak for non-seafood lovers. Server Kelsey Deckard has worked at this location since April 2013. Some differences she has seen between restaurants have been the fresher fish and the “unbeatable” lunch prices. The restaurant seats more than 100 people. There is an upstairs with a sushi bar as well. Meetings or private parties for 50 to 70 people can be held there. Tsevegmid said one of the reasons he liked this venue was because it had more room than his last restaurant. Hours are Monday to Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 10 p.m., Friday it is open until 10:30 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m.

Let lentils keep you full Nothing warms better on a cold and chilly winter day than a bowl of soup. This vegetarian rustic lentil soup is not only comforting, satisfying, inexpensive, but healthy too. The vegetables and beans make it an excellent source of fiber, vitamins and a good source of protein and minerals. Start your meal with soup and you could wind up consuming 20 percent fewer calories at your meal but feel just as content. You can make this hearty soup a meal by accompanying with slices of warm whole-grain bread. This soup holds up well in the freezer. Notes: • Brown lentils retain their shape better during cooking than pricier red and yellow lentils. • I like to keep slices of baguette in a Ziploc bag in the freezer so when I need them I can have warm bread handy. RUSTIC LENTIL SOUP Serve: 6 Ingredients: 4 leeks, white and light green parts only, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 28-ounce can whole organic roasted tomatoes, drained, 6 cups water, 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into a 1/2 inch dice, 1/2 cup brown lentils, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 12 fresh basil leaves (optional), 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Parmesan (optional), 1 lemon, sliced (optional)

Directions: Slice each leek in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 1/4-inch-thick halfmoons (about 2 cups). Place in a large bowl of cold water and swish to remove any dirt. Drain and pat dry. Remove the stems from the kale. Stack the leaves on top of one another and slice them crosswise into 1/2- inch wide strips, you will need 3 cups. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, breaking them up with a spoon, for 5 minutes. Add the water and bring to a boil. Stir in the kale, sweet potatoes, lentils, thyme, salt, pepper, and basil (if using). Simmer until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Spoon into individual bowls. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, and serve with a slice of lemon that you will squeeze into it just before eating, if desired.

Enjoy holiday foods with no regrets Commentary by LeeAnne Nazer, MD

Thanksgiving is synonymous with family, football and home-cooked meals. It also signals the beginning of the holiday nutrition season – a time when people tend to overeat and struggle to maintain healthy eating habits. With a little planning, however, you can enjoy some of your favorite holiday foods while managing your weight. • Eat a small meal or snack before the festivities. You’ll be less likely to overindulge at holiday dinners and parties if you aren’t really hungry when you arrive. Meals and snacks with protein will help stave off hunger. • Monitor portion sizes. The best way to avoid overeating is to limit the size of your portions. Fill your plate with just one small spoonful of the items you want. Use a side or appetizer plate, if available, instead of a dinner plate. • Make the best food choices. Eat the smallest portions of foods that are high in fat and calories and fill the majority of your plate with more nutritious, low-fat foods, such as turkey breast and vegetables. • Consider substitutes. As you’re preparing meals and food for seasonal gatherings, use alternative ingredients as much as pos-

sible. Reduced-fat sour cream and cream cheese, fat-free half and half, and low-fat cheeses are great choices to cut calories and fat from traditional holiday recipes. Alcohol contains a lot of calories, so try substituting sparkling water for cocktails and wine. • Scrutinize and set limits. Holiday buffets and dining tables are filled with good things to eat – many of which are specially prepared, once-a-year treats. Take a close look at the offerings and limit yourself to just your favorite foods. This way, you can enjoy seasonal favorites without ruining your diet or healthy eating plan. • Exercise regularly. Most people gain two to five pounds between Thanksgiving and Jan. 1. Colder weather and busy holiday schedules can make regular exercise more challenging. Look for creative ways to get some exercise during the holidays – bundle up and take a short walk after dinner or spend a few extra minutes walking laps in the mall after holiday shopping.

Vitamin D: A splash of sun helps bones

Commentary by Emily Frank, M.D.

Just around the time women come into motherhood, we begin witnessing our mothers and grandmothers suffering bronutrition ken wrists, hips and spines. As it happens, osteoporosis — the result of losing too much bone, producing too little of it, or both — leaves one in two women older than 50 with a broken bone, and many with loss of height. After that, a cascade of repeated fractures, pain and disability can occur. It doesn’t have to be that way. Taking steps to prevent osteoporosis is easy and inexpensive.

Today, we focus on one bone-health villain: vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D occurs naturally in the body in response to sun exposure. Just let the sun kiss your bare skin for a few minutes, and, voilà, you have a new stash of vitamin D. Easy enough, right? The trouble is with more of us slathering on 60 SPF sunscreen ’round the clock and leading indoor lifestyles — especially as winter approaches — we don’t get enough rays to produce vitamin D. That deficiency can lead to porous, brittle bones, worsening the natural decline in bone strength and density we experience in our 50s, around the time menopause hits. Frequently, by the time I see patients, it’s too late. They’ve already had a fracture and bones are weak all over the body. You may lack vitamin D if you: • Spend little time outdoors. • Wear sunscreen or cover your skin most of the time. • Have dark skin. • Underwent bariatric surgery or have health issues that hinder food absorption. • Are pregnant or obese. People with the deficiency may experience tiredness and general aches and pains, according to the Vitamin D Council. A severe deficiency may trigger pain in the bones or infections. Yet, in most cases, vitamin D deficiency, like osteoporosis, is symptom-free until it evolves into some-

thing more serious. So how do you get enough vitamin D? While some foods carry the nutrient, beware: You can’t get enough through diet. Small amounts can be found in fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sardines), eggs, mushrooms, dairy and grains that are fortified with vitamin D, but not enough to maintain healthy levels. That leaves us with two alternatives: the sun and supplements. I advise a few minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen one or two days a week. Vitamin D kicks into production in about half the time it takes your skin to turn pink and begin to burn, according to the council — that’s about 15 minutes for a fair-skinned person, or a couple of hours for a dark-skinned person. The closer to midday sun, the better, the Council advises: “A good rule of thumb is if your shadow is longer than you are tall, you’re not making much vitamin D.” Uneasy about sun exposure? Take a supplement. It’s safe, inexpensive and widely available. I recommending 600 to 1000 IU daily for most adults. Vitamin D3 is your best bet, says the council, not the stuff mixed with calcium.

New business provides yoga and cycling training

By Lana Bandy • news@currentincarmel.com

What is The Hub? Essentially yoga and cycling training. We do yoga, pilates BioCored and aerial yoga. We've been open just about a year. We fitness have classes as well as personal training. We have package discounts or you can drop in on a class any time. You can buy memberships -- monthly unlimited packages or sets of classes. It depends on clients' schedules. What do you specifically do? I'm a Level One USA Cycling-certified coach -- there are only two in the state. I coach young athletes of all makes and models, as well as weekend warriors and those trying to get to national podiums. My partner (Wendy) does exercise physiology and cardiac rehab, and she is a yoga teacher. How did you get started? Wendy and I have a business, ProMotion Fitness, where we do corporate wellness and fitness. We go into clients' places of business and run their program for them and work with their employees on fitness goals. We've been doing this for 20 years. As the coaching business grew, we found ourselves at a place where people were looking for somewhere to go outside of work, so we knew it was time to open our own commercial space. It's earthy and unpretentious, but it's a hub for corporate clients, my coaching

clients and new clients to come and gather. Who are your clients? Most of our clientele on the yoga side are 30 to 60-years-old. On the cycling side, they are probably 15 to 65. Lots of people come in here if they are experiencing any injuries, as it's good cardio exercise. We try not to cater to any demographic -- we have something for everybody. If you're interested in yoga classes, we have some where you move slowly or we have classes that are rigorous and you work up a sweat. One of my clients is a bank president whose goals are to be able to ride with the weekend warriors to a breakfast spot without falling behind. It is very individualized. I don't do any remote or online coaching, as I want to be able to ride with an interaction with clients on a personal basis.

How is The Hub different from other fitness options? First, we take a real personal interest in all our clients or athletes. We don't try to slide people into a box. We meet them where they are and work with them to determine what's best for them, where they want to go and what they might need. We often hear from people that they can't do yoga because they're not flexible enough. One of our most frequent clients started doing yoga in a chair because she couldn't get up and down from the floor. She now comes in two or three times a week. We love working through that sort of thing. I coach a half dozen junior cyclists, and I like to expose them to a number of different cycling disciplines -- even beyond competitive cycling -- while they're young. How do you personalize a workout in a cycling class? With our training system. We have classes, but we're really reinforcing the concept of individual training rather than a competitive environment day in and day out. Our system allows everyone to work at their own power zones. We can have a national-caliber athlete with a lady new to cycling and everyone is working in their own training zone. As long as they're in the zone, they're doing the workout properly. Our system does that well. It is time based instead of speed and distanced based. No one falls behind or gets ahead.

Courtyard of the Maidens in Seville’s Real Alcázar. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Seville’s Mudéjar Palace

Let our experienced designers show you the positive impact of a well designed kitchen or bath remodel that fits your style, your family, and the way you live.

Commentary by Don Knebel

Live Happy.

The Real Alcázar (royal palace) in Seville, Spain, is the oldest European palace still being used. Important parts of what is Travel now a UNESCO World Heritage site were built by a 14th-century Christian king who admired Islamic architecture and became known for his brutal rejection of anti-Semitism. When Christian forces of the Reconquista recaptured Seville in 1248, they took as their palace an Islamic fortress along the Guadalquivir River. In 1364, Peter I, King of Castile and León, began building a new palace on the site. Peter called upon the Muslim architects and builders who had recently created the palace at the Alhambra in Granada, then still under Islamic control. The design style used in Peter’s palace, incorporating richly carved walls, pointed arches and other traditional Islamic details, came to be known as Mudéjar and was popular throughout southern Spain. Writings on palace walls praised both God and Allah. The best-known quarter of Peter’s palace is the Courtyard of the Maidens. Its name reportedly suggested a false rumor, fueling the Reconquista, that Muslim rulers of Iberia demanded 100 virgins each year from the Christian cities under

their control. A narrow reflecting pool in the center of the courtyard was flanked by sunken gardens, evoking Islamic images of the gardens of paradise. The same theme was later used in the reflecting pool of the Taj Mahal. Scalloped arches supported on columns surrounded the open courtyard, another defining characteristic of Mudéjar style. Peter I’s rivals called him “Peter the Cruel” for executing leaders of an anti-Jewish riot. He was beheaded in 1369 by his half-brother Henry, who derided him as “King of the Jews” for opposing persecution of Spanish Jews. King Peter’s successors added buildings and gardens to the Real Alcázar. The second floor of Peter’s palace is used by the Spanish royal family when in Seville. The Courtyard of the Maidens, its reflecting pool covered, masquerades as the twelfth century palace of the King of Jerusalem in the movie “The Kingdom of Heaven.” And history now regards Peter I as “Peter the Just” for repudiating, albeit cruelly, religious bigotry.

Can or may? Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: Dear Grammar Guy, my friend has an obnoxious habit of “correcting” me (and everyone else) anytime I use grammar guy “can” when he thinks I should use “may.” I’d love a column about this to put him in his place once and for all. Answer: Oh, boy – we’re going to rustle some jimmies on this one. We’ve all been there: You ask if you “can” have something, maybe a cookie, and, predictably, you get this response, “You MAY have one.” The “may” is always stressed. We get it. But, are the sticklers correct? Let’s see what Oxford Dictionaries has to say on the matter: “There is a widespread view that using ‘can’ to ask for permission is wrong and that it should only be used in expressions to do with ability or

capability. But the ‘permission’ use of ‘can’ is not in fact incorrect in standard English.” Merriam-Webster agrees, saying, “’Can’ and ‘may’ are most frequently interchangeable in senses denoting possibility … they have also become interchangeable in the sense denoting permission.’” Booyah. All that being said, “may” is still the better choice for formal situations and when talking to your by-the-books grandmother. Life pro-tip here: Never argue with your grandma. That’s a loselose scenario – specifically, you’ll be losing out on those fresh-baked cookies she just made. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

Author visit – “Indie Unmasked: The Indy Author Event” is a clever name for an upcoming gathering of independently published romance novelists. Taking place Nov. 15 at the Fishers Banquet Center, 9775 North by Northeast Blvd., this book signing and author meet-and-greet is open to the public and showcases the popularity of romantic novels. Kate Roth is an Indianapolis romance author and one of the Indie Unmasked organizers. She confirmed that 48 independently published romance authors will be on hand at the event to sign books from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets are on sale at http://indieunmasked.weebly.com. “We have nine New York Times and USA Today best-selling authors coming to Indie Unmasked and 21 authors are Indiana natives,” said Roth. Following the book signings, there will be a Masquerade Ball from 8 p.m. to midnight. Roth and fellow Indiana romance novelists Bayli Lane and Britni Hill wanted to bring a romance author event to central Indiana and chose Fishers for its proximity to Indianapolis and because they liked the Fishers venue. Author events are big in the world of independent romance novels and highlight the enduring popularity of the genre. LEGAL NOTICE DUKE ENERGY INDIANA, INC.

Creating better curb appeal

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

How we manage the approach to our front door and porch can have a dramatic impact on curb appeal and guests’ first outdoors impression to your home. This front porch renovation says “Welcome” better than most and is both inviting and dramatic. The elegant update expanded the porch footprint considerably and carried the generous step the entire width, while adding a soft arch for intrigue. Concrete was poured for the expansion base and then capped with noche travertine from Turkey as the fresh surface on the porch and the step treads/risers. Rich tan and brown travertine hues are complimented by the full color limestone on the home, which marries well together. Now, the thrilled homeowners and guests have plenty of space to relax on the front porch and appreciate the Carmel neighborhood activity. Brightly colored cushions echo the vibrant front door and add a sense of energy to the entry. RETRACTABLE BLIND Notice the retractable blind suspended from

Luxury tubs add beauty, style to bathroom

Commentary by David Decker

For homeowners looking to relax and unwind after a hard day, there’s nothing more soothing than taking a soak in a luxuriindoors ous bathtub. And with all of the different styles available on the market today, bathtubs can add beauty and style to your bathroom as well. Alcove Alcove tubs are the most common type of design found in homes today. They are designed to maximize space, because they fit in a threewalled enclosure. Generally, alcove bathtubs are paired with a shower combination, making it a practical option for smaller bathrooms. Drop-in These tubs feature only the shell of the bathtub, which is then fitted inside a framed enclosure. The enclosure is then finished to match bathroom cabinets or tile, making the tub enhance your bathroom design. While these tubs can be a bit more expensive, drop-in tubs could be a creative way to break out of the traditional alcove model. Corner Corner tubs are crafted with a large, square design that takes up a corner of the bathroom. Corner tubs are not as practical as other tubs designs, as they tend to take up lots of bathroom floor space, and require quite a bit of water to fill up the tub. But they can fit more than one

bather at a time, and often come with many addon’s such as bubble jets. Freestanding These tubs are growing in popularity because of their elegant and airy look. Freestanding tubs do not use a casing around the tub, which makes the bathroom look overall less crowded. They can free up space to create a luxurious modern shower. They are typically the most expensive option. Walk in Tubs/Aging in Place Friendly Designs Some tubs have been specially crafted with the Americans with Disabilities Act in mind, which is intended to make tubs safer for everyone. Walk-in tubs are specially designed for people who have limited mobility. These tubs also include non-slip floor surfaces and wide edges.

Massaging Tubs If you are looking for a relaxing bathtub, you may want to consider a bubble massage tub. Unlike traditional whirlpool bathtubs, the massaging aspect for these tubs comes from air bubbles that pass through tiny holes in the tub. Whirlpool jet lines can trap water and mold, which is why I recommend bubble massage tubs instead. Some massage tubs also incorporate multi-speed settings so that you can adjust the bubbles to your liking. And there are even models featuring heaters, which will warm the water as it circulates. Add Ons The best part about visiting a spa is the pampering, and being pampered is all about the details. You can install underwater LED lights that will change color to suit your mood. Changing the water’s color can be a soothing, entertaining way to unwind. Designers have even created speaker panels that can be attached to the tub to send sound through the water. I hope you take the time to relax and unwind once in a while. Get creative and discover ways to incorporate a little indulgence in your everyday life.
