Fire highlights staffing concerns

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

Electrical issues are suspected in last week’s fire in Sandstone Village that ultimately condemned three homes and damaged public safety a fourth. On Aug. 26, a house fire broke out at the home of Tony and Megan Ernsberger, 12635 Adirondack Ct. It spread to Linda Davis’ home, 12625 Adirondack Ct., and Robin Griger’s residence, 12645 Adirondack Ct. Fishers Fire Dept. was dispatched at 2:07 p.m. No residents were injured in the fires, but two firefighters suffered minor burns. A propertydamage estimate was not available. Fishers Fire Chief Steve Orusa said the investigation was approaching completion Aug. 29. The first responders was a Orusa medic team dispatched from Station 92, 11595 Brooks School Rd. Orusa said the medics took the same course of action a ladder truck or any unit would have – ensuring life safety – and that the first building could not be saved. Station 92 was scheduled to close in June for renovation just as FFD’s Station 96 at 104th Street and Florida Road opened, but a pending agreement with the county to build a secondary dispatch center at the firehouse delayed the closure. Orusa said Station 92 was staffed with the only available people he had, the medic unit. Other staff members already moved to Station 96. “I don’t have enough resources,” Orusa said. “It’s a risk management plan with the cards we’re dealt, and we’re playing catch up.” He said a backup fire engine is stored at Station 92, although it moves from station to station depending on need. He could not confirm as of press time if a backup engine was at Station 92 that day, but there would have been no staff for it. Orusa said he plans to push the governmental bodies to complete an agreement on the new dispatch center holding up work at Station 92. FFD plans to hire 12 new staff members for Station 92 in January. He said a meeting with the county to try to come to a decision is scheduled for Sept. 12. He hoped the

renovations will be completed in the spring. Town Manager Scott Fadness said the renovation is to cost $1 million to 1.2 million, with a secondary dispatch center costing $750,000. In spite of suffering some staffing issues, the medic unit responded in about three minutes, and Engine 95 and a Ladder 91 responded in about five minutes – beating FFD’s national accreditation standard of cover. Orusa said this confirmed that the department’s riskmanagement plans and backup plans worked just as they should.

Juice bar offers healthy treats

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com

Local picky eaters from the age of 2 to 92 can finally be tricked into thinking they are digesting peanut butter, chocolate or honey, when in fact they are consuming nutritious now open fruits and vegetables. TwentyTwo Juicer, the brainchild of Ross and Leslie Hanna, is a new juice/smoothie bar operating out of the couple’s mobile food trailer. The couple noticed juicer/smoothie bars on the West Coast when they lived in San Francisco. When vacationing in Asheville, N.C., they visited a coffee bar inside a double-decker bus. After moving to Fishers, the Hannas decided to combine serving juicers and smoothies out of the trailer. “There is definitely a lack of juice and smoothie bars around here,” Leslie said. “We’re filling that void.” The Hannas, both 27, decided on the name, TwentyTwo Juicer, because it’s their lucky number. Both Ross and Leslie were born on the 22 and married on that same date as well. A “good alternative to your typical morning breakfast, such as McDonald’s,” according to Leslie, the bar features all-organic, naturallysweetened, vegan-friendly items such as Green S&B, a smoothie consisting of spinach, banana, strawberry, raw honey, almond milk and ice. The unique choice on the menu is what’s called an Acai Bowl, which has acai berry and

banana blended with almond milk, and topped with hemp granola, cocoa nibs, blueberries, strawberries, bananas and raw honey. The Hannas discovered the Acai Bowl on their honeymoon in Hawaii. “It tastes like a yogurt parfait with a smoothie base,” Leslie said. “We are bringing a little Hawaii to Indiana.” On Saturday mornings, the Hannas plan to have their juice bar parked in front of vintage store Best of What’s Around, 8745 E. 116th St. They also will be featuring their smoothies at WARMfest 2013, a three-day festival over Labor Day weekend, located at Broad Ripple Park in Indianapolis.

More than numbers matter

Commentary by Larry Lannan

I have never been excited by numbers. That may sound strange coming from a retired tax law specialist but there are times long lists of figures cause my eyes to government glaze over. For many taxpayers, their eyes glaze over when it’s time to talk about the local municipal budget. The Town of Fishers is beginning to look at the 2014 budget. As a citizen, you need to pay attention to the budget process. My years of experience as a journalist and a government employee have taught me one important lesson about government at any level. Budgets are important. A budget is a significant statement from your elected officials. A spending plan provides a list of priorities. The Town of Fishers has two main sources of income. The largest by far is the property tax. The second largest stream of money comes from the County Option Income Tax, often called COIT. There are a few other sources of money much smaller in size. Some are dedicated specifically to roads or other brick and mortar projects. The Fishers budget process starts with the department heads sending budget proposals to Town Manager Scott Fadness. After reviewing those requests, it’s Fadness’ job to pare down all the spending requests so the staff proposes a balanced budget to the town council.

The staff has been sharing the 2014 budget proposals with the council members. That process will continue and the council will have the final say on the size and shape of the 2014 budget. I have found local government to be the most responsive government. If you have ideas on how the town should (or should not) spend its money, this is the time you, as a citizen of Fishers, should pay attention and speak up. Your local streets and roads (not under state control) are provided and maintained by the town. Police and fire protection are town services. The town staff provides the upkeep and improvements on parks used by youth athletics and others. The town has a community development department dedicated to attracting commercial development and managing residential development. As the town staff and council begin to fashion the calendar year 2014 spending plan, budget documents will be placed on the town Web page (www.fishers.in.us). A public hearing on the budget is tentatively planned for the Oct. 7 council meeting. Don’t let your eyes glaze over. Pay attention to the budget process and let your elected officials know where you stand.

HSE Mock Trial team takes top honors By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Imagine you’re a famed defense attorney or maybe a lawyer from one of your favorite episodes of Law and Order. Your witness held his composure, and cover story maybe even made another attorney look foolish. It was an energy-filled day in court. Where do you go to celebrate? The award-winning Hamilton Southeastern High School Mock Trial team calls it a day and heads to Steak ‘n Shake, at least during Hamilton County competition season. The team won first place this summer at the National Judicial Competition, sponsored by the Youth in Government division of the YMCA and the American Bar Association. The competition was at the Chicago Bar Association and John Marshall Law School in Chicago. The team is coached by HSEHS teacher Janet Chandler. “I love watching how the students take the competition so seriously and work to develop their case,” she said. “I especially like it when the team becomes a family.” Going up against teams from California, Michigan and Texas, the group was tasked with playing both sides of a case in which the falling-death of a drum line pledge led to second-degree murder, hazing, and more charges for the defendant. It’s not all burgers and shakes for this team. It’s an adrenalinefueled competition that requires preparation, restraint and confidence. In a game where innocence or guilt doesn’t guarantee a win, but performance and knowledge spells victory, wits under pressure count. Preparing for court The team has to think on its feet to be successful. “It’s like a serene adrenaline,” Andrew Notar Donato, 16, said. Before they have the chance to ask the questions and deconstruct their opponents’ positions at competitions, the members go through laborious preparation. When in full swing, they meet three times per week, including Saturdays, as well as spend outside time memorizing pages of witness statements, or, if the student is playing an attorney, examination questions.

The team put on a demonstration for the HSE School Board and audience members at its Aug. 26 meeting. From (front) left, Janet Chandler, Kaia Thompson, Sherisa Abbaspour, Natalie Teyema, Nick Iacobucci, HSE School Board President Diane Eaton. Back: Supt. Dr. Brian Smith and HSEHS Principal Matt Kegley.

HSE Mock Trial defeated teams from all over the U.S. at the NJC.

Then they take it to the court. Donato said two people had to take on two roles for the NJC. “It’s really all about becoming your character and sinking yourself into the place on each side of the case,” Donato said. Nick Iacobucci, 17, played multiple roles in the competition, including fictitious defendant Chris Biggs, who either pushed a pledge from a clock tower or just failed to save him. “You have to be confident in what you have to say and that it’s right,” he said. Hannah Muehlhausen, 16, said after going through more compe-

titions, she was ready for other teams to go on the attack. “The first time (competing) I was freaking out,” she said. “but then the more we had more competitions, I was like ‘I’ve got this. Come at me.’” Lasting impact HSE Mock Trial started in 2001, and while a few on the current team have law aspirations, some of the alumni have gone on to be part of the field or having relatable experiences on another. Joe Reitz, offensive lineman for the Indianapolis Colts and mock trial alum, said if professional sports didn’t pan out for him, he would have ended up in law school. Reitz said some of the things that can happen in a mock trial parallel what can happen on the football field. “If somebody objects – if something happens – you always got to be ready to constantly be on your toes and think on your feet,” he said. “That’s something that translates out on the football field, whether a play gets changed or a defense switches or something like that.” Jessica Williams, 24, went on to undergraduate school at Purdue University and Notre Dame for law school. She’s waiting for bar exam results. “There’s not many other clubs that you can join in high school that can validate the career path you can ultimately go down,” she said. HSE Mock Trial will hold tryouts in October.

FR O M   T H E BACKSHOP The future of mass transit here

Putting the rocks in Shamrocks It is our position that city of Westfield is to be congratulated for its’ ranking as one of America’s best small towns by Money magazine. The city, which has a population of 31,857, garnered a No. 18 ranking. Forever in the shadow of neighboring Carmel in the areas of education, entertainment, housing and prep athletics, Westfield has quietly created their own bright spotlight. Set to open in April 2014, the Grand Park Sports Complex will feature 31 soccer/multipurpose fields, 26 baseball diamonds, and over 10 miles of trails and pathways including a trailhead on the Monon Corridor. The Grand Park Sports Campus is anticipated to attract 650,000 visitors in its first year of operation and 1.5 million visitors in future years. The master development plan for the city outlines approximately 1,400 acres of land available for residential and commercial development including hospitality (hotel, restaurant and retail), mixed-use, life science and corporate office uses. The city’s education system and low crime rate also factored into the rankings. Will folks from Carmel migrate to the north? Only the shadow knows. Congratulations to the citizens of Westfield for putting the “rocks” in Shamrocks.

Lead thinking Commentary by Terry Anker It could be a weakness of mine, but every few years or so I indulge myself in some manner and sort of “leadership” training. Like many things, it strikes me that leadership is a talent that is nurtured rather than a skill that is mastered. To be sure, there is some redundancy in the messages – and there are a lot of gimmicks (all designed, innocently enough I think, to help us remember both the message and the author). Having now traversed a decade or two of this kind of education, one can begin to see the patterns. There are some who argue that to lead is to serve – imagine Mahatma Gandhi saying, “There go my people, I must hurry to catch up with them for I am their leader.” Others might argue that leadership must be strict and demanding from the top – imagine Nicco Machiavelli saying, “A leader ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred.” Others still urge that leadership cannot be

taught (or learned) and only received as a genetic coincidence at birth – imagine Winston Churchill saying, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” While Sir Churchill was likely quoting another Englishman, William Shakespeare, the point is the same. Namely that leadership can be simply born if not pursued or demanded. I’m not sure which, if any or all, of these views is correct. If nothing else, this twice a decade renewal refreshes my commitment to thinking about leadership as a thing to be practiced rather than a proficiency added to be added to a resume. Doesn’t taking time to consider “leadership” as both an object and as an act remind us to consider how and to whom we choose to apply it?

We’ve heard all the arguments about why mass transit will save the republic by helping to protect the environment, ease traffic congestion and possibly speed commutes into and from downtown Indianapolis. If the proponents and creators of the plan were really honest, they would admit they forgot one other reason that protects an encompassing special-interest group: the unions, whose minions, in large measure, make the current IndyGo deficit-heavy system go. We laughed out loud when the system’s communications department floated a news release at us last week. It was headlined, “INDYGO SERVICE IMPACTS DUE TO LABOR DAY HOLIDAY AND SPECIAL EVENTS.” We just had to read it. While it did mention street closures for the just-concluded Labor Day Weekend, it also noted “a Sunday/ Holiday schedule in observance of Labor Day.” Allow us to translate: That means unless the union workers got triple-quadruple overtime – you know, the kind the rest of us saps don’t get – the service would have been decimated further. True, no one would flood buses from the northern suburbs on a holiday weekend, but the fact that these so-called government holidays hold many of us hostage is ludicrous. Face it: This is exactly what will happen if we allow government-run mass transit up in these parts. Travelers will be beholden to union rules. We may not prevail, but you can bet we’ll fight this every step of the way. ••• We stand corrected. We wrote in this space (Current, Aug. 20) that congressional staffers were exempt from Obamacare.

Disappointment leads to learning Commentary by Danielle Wilson

My husband, Doo, and I have been through the emotional ringer twice in the last week. Two of our children were trying out for humor school sports teams − the first time either has experienced an honestto-God tryout, where, gasp, they MAY NOT MAKE IT! Our freshman soccer hopeful has been playing since he was five, starting with rec leagues and then on to the sell-your-organs-to-afford travel circuit. He’s OK. Doo and I gave him a 50/50 chance, considering he was up against 40 other ninth-graders. The tryouts themselves were brutal– doubles for three days, with the selection coming at the end of the last practice. When we pulled into the parking lot, we could see the coaches settling down about a hundred teenagers, and delivering the standard “Thanks for your effort, we can’t take all of you, blah, blah, blah.” I felt sick. His best hope was that they could see his potential (he’s almost 6 feet tall), but even then, his odds were slim. I muttered one last Hail Mary, and then suddenly, it was happening. Boys began jumping up and running off to a distant huddle. Our son’s name was not called. I was in shock. Somewhere deep down I had harbored the notion that his making the team was a sure thing. How could this have happened? What was wrong with these coaches? Why did they hate my child? The tears came when Doo took him

into Yogurtz. All those years, all that work. Was it too late to transfer him to a smaller school? Crazy thoughts zoomed through my mind until I forced myself to get a grip. He’s only 14, for God’s sake. He’ll get over it. But would I? Our daughter’s volleyball tryouts started the following Tuesday. She’s only been playing for a year, so I wasn’t expecting much, but as she plowed her way through the four-day process, I became cautiously optimistic. After all, she only had to beat out five others. On Friday, Doo and I found ourselves once again in a parking lot. We fidgeted anxiously as individual girls emerged from the school’s double-doors. Some were crying, and we secretly cheered. Imagine that! Supposed adults celebrating when a poor little seventh-grader’s dream has just been crushed. Doo and I had been reduced to psycho parents. Finally, our daughter appeared. Stoic, then all smiles. But she too was a “no.” Jeeze-Louise! Who do I have to pay to get a kid on a stupid team? In my heart I know these setbacks are good learning experiences. But right now, I’m sad that they won’t have the unique opportunity to play for their schools. And I’m exhausted. Real tryouts are just too stressful. Peace out.

Divorce – What To Expect: Collaborative Law Collaborative divorce is a process by which couples work through issues of child custody, parenting time, division of financial assets and payment of marital bills and expenses through non-litigation techniques guided by specially-trained, experienced family law attorneys with the assistance, if necessary, of collaboratively trained professionals, such as child and financial specialists. The goals of collaborative practice are similar to litigation in that collaborative professionals consider the best interest of the children in custody and parenting time issues and the law in the division of assets and debts. However, collaborative professionals do not consider these issues in a vacuum, but rather in ways that also address the emotional and personal needs of the family that is being separated. Collaborative practice recognizes that the spouses are often forever linked – even if divorced- by children, grandchild, and long-time friends. The collaborative model is designed to assist divorcing spouses work through their disputes constructively and peacefully. This allows both parties to move forward as individuals with dignity and respect without the post-traumatic stress that often accompanies divorce. At the outset of the collaborative case, each party signs an contract to work to resolve all issues related to the divorce outside of the courtroom. Just as in divorce litigation, collaborative practice requires both parties to provide full disclosure of all relevant issues and facts involving the children, as well as a full disclosure of all financial assets and liabilities. Both parties exchange all information and documentation necessary to make informed decisions regarding custody, parenting time, and division of the marital estate. Moreover, each party is given the time necessary to process, evaluate, and apply the information to his/her individual circumstances.

Through collaboration and communication, parties are able to resolve their differences in such a way that is beneficial to both. Most often, this is done by participation in several planned conferences, with various professionals involved as needed. The agenda’s for each conference are predetermined and parties are prepared to address the issues for each conference. There is a Chinese proverb that is often used by collaborative professionals: “never cut what can be untied.” This is especially true in cases where married couples, especially those with children, know that divorce is inevitable, but do not wish to undergo the financial, personal, and emotional expense and stress of litigation. Dissolution is never a “winner-take-all” proposition. In fact, in most cases, there are no real winners, only losers. Protracted litigation takes a personal toll that may never be repaired. Litigation often results in emotional hurt, hard feelings, distrust and outright hatred, which negatively impact the ability of the parties to successfully co-parent their children. Collaborative dissolution is for anyone who doesn’t want to ruin his/her life by a divorce. Divorce is never a happy experience, but collaborative practice makes it as good as it can be. If you are interested in collaborative divorce, call any member of our collaborative team. We will be glad to answer any questions, and help you decide whether collaborative divorce is right for you! At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Fun for all ages at Zionsville Fall Fest

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com

As the final days of summer draw to a close, the annual end of season checklist rears its unwelcome head: Most area schools festival are back in session. Check. Many families have returned from vacation. Check. People are making the most of the remaining days of warm weather. Check. However, residents of Zionsville have one more item on that checklist, and it is one of celebration and community spirit, the annual Fall Festival. The Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival is a week-end long event featuring food, games, carnival rides, live entertainment, and vendors; not to mention an auction, dancing, and a kickoff parade. The theme of this year’s Fall Festival is “Rock around the Clock.” Since its inception, Fall Festival’s goal has been to raise money to maintain Lions Park, and it remains the Lions Club’s biggest fundraiser. Tim Reinhart, Lions Club president and Festival chair, explained both the need for financial resources and the significance of Lions Park. “The park is not supported by tax dollars. All of the revenue for the park comes from the Lions Club fundraisers,” he said. Attendance at the festival will be crucial to meeting fundraising goals. “We anticipate a crowd of about 25,000 over the three days,” Reinhart said. The three days will kick off on Sept. 6 with a VIP carnival for children and adults with special

trants. Carnival games, a kids’ area, live dance and band performances and an adult and teen party complete the day. Sept. 8 begins with the Spokes of Hope bike race and a community worship service, and ends with the Miss Outstanding Teen pageant. There will be an unlimited ride $15 wristband available. “This is typically ranked as the most fun event every year in Zionsville,” Reinhart said. “We cater to all ages. We like to have something for everyone, for the young children, for the teenagers, and the adults. It’s a great opportunity to experience the community of Zionsville.”

‘Pippin’ brings magic and mystery Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

If you’ve never seen this show, haven’t seen it lately, or have only heard the catchy tunes from it, you may think of “Pippin” theater as a light-hearted show about a merry band of troubadors who show us the coming-of-age story of a young prince. The reality is that while the show is indeed chock-full of lively and memorable tunes, it actually explores a sharp contrast between good and evil, and the struggle that we all face daily to do the right thing and find our place in the world. Stephen Schwartz’ “Pippin” debuts at the Tarkington Theatre on Sept. 6, opening Civic Theatre’s season. The opening number in the show is “Magic to Do,” in which the audience is invited to take a journey along with a magical and mysterious troupe of players. The Leading Player tells the audience about Pippin, the son of a king, who is searching for meaning and significance in his life. Pippin then enters and tells of his search in the popular song “Corner of the Sky.” Pippin’s adventures take him through various loves, war, and even murder until he finally finds his own version of a happy ending. “The music is what really drives this show,” said musical director Brent Marty. “It has a pop feel and it really pulls the audience in.” Marty will conduct the thirteen-piece orchestra, which includes three keyboards. “Pippin has always been a favorite of mine—I just saw it on Broadway,” said Marty, who has been with Civic since 1998. “Pippin” is directed by Ryan Koharchik. He has been the resident scenic and lighting designer for Civic since 1996. Some of his most notable Civic productions include: “Evita,” “Aida,” “Into the Woods,” “The Will Rogers Follies” and “City of Angels.” “At the heart of this show is the choice between the darkness and the light,” said Koharchik. “We all have a good voice and a bad voice in our own heads, and only we can choose which voice we listen to. It’s an ‘everyman’ story.” In various productions of “Pippin” over the years, the role of The Leading Player has been portrayed by both men and women. Ben Vereen originated the character on Broadway, for which

Ensemble members Ashley Saunders and Dejuan Jackson (Photo by Karen Kennedy)

he won a Tony. In Civic’s production, the role is played by Nathalie Cruz, who was last seen playing the Witch in “Into the Woods” on the Booth Tarkington stage. “I wanted to cast a woman in the role,” said Koharchik, “because I wanted Pippin’s love interest, Catherine, to represent the voice of goodness and The Leading Player to represent the voice of darkness.” The role of Pippin is played by Ethan Litt, a former Ball State student who is making his Civic debut. He is from Indianapolis, IN and recently graduated from Ball State University with a BFA in musical theatre. “Ethan brings an instant likability to the character. He was the perfect choice,” said Koharchik. Of the journey that the show takes, Koharchik said, “I want the audience to constantly wonder, ‘what’s happening next?’ The show is full of surprises. It explores different time periods, including a 3-D ‘trip’ through the 70’s. But I wanted to make it relevant to today as well, so we’re using video as well.”

With 2,457 sales in July in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 19.4 percent compared to this time last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. real estate Tucker Co. On a monthly basis, July 2013 home sales fell 0.3 percent compared to July 2012, a slight decrease of seven homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Four counties reported increased sales compared to July 2012. Specifically in Hamilton County, home sales for the first seven months of 2013 rose 22.3 percent compared to the same time last year. Year to date, Hamilton County home sales soared to 4,280 – an increase of 781 homes from the same time last year. Fishers experienced a modest increase in pended home sales. In July 2013, 55 homes pended – up five homes compared to July 2012. Home prices are up in Fishers. In July 2013,

the average home cost $241,357 – an increase of $53,354 from July 2012. Of the pended home sales in Fishers last month, two were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 14 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 38 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less. Inventory continues to tighten. In July 2013, 167 homes were available for sale in Fishers. In July 2012, 202 homes were on the market. It’s common for home sales to slow a bit as we move into the second half of the year. Even though pended sales in some areas pulled back slightly in July, the average home price continued to climb. With competitive prices and shrinking inventory, we believe our housing recovery will continue to move in the right direction. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

Years ago, there were only two primary methods for growing your business – advertise and hire a sales force. move the needle Today, the rules have changed. In 2013, your ability to expand market share is limited only by your imagination and effort. That’s the good news. The bad news is that if it’s easy for you, it’s also easy for everyone else. The unfortunate result is a cluttered marketplace filled with thousands of messages coming from all directions – Facebook, Twitter, banner advertising, QR codes, etc. It seems impossible to avoid the non-stop marketing assault. This has a led to a daunting challenge - How do you break through all the noise? It’s not easy, but it can be done. The key to succeeding under these new rules is to train a new sales force – your customers. Because we are overloaded with information, we ignore most advertising. Instead, when we are looking to make a purchase, we turn to one

place for a recommendation – a past customer. This can happen in a variety of ways. You might choose to ask a friend about their experience, check online customer reviews, or simply request an opinion from your Facebook friends. As a result, it’s no longer acceptable to simply meet the needs of your customers. You need to exceed their every expectation and create a raving fan each time they engage your company. While creating raving fans is different for every business, here’s a few universal tactics to get you started. Thank every customer for their business. Systematize your processes so that the same service gets delivered every time. Ask them for feedback. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Heaven is silent Commentary by Mike Colaw A few years ago I was in a really difficult season of life. I was struggling with a few situations at work and was wearing Spirituality out quickly. I had already started looking for another job but nothing came through. I felt more than stuck—I felt trapped. So I decided to do what many do—I prayed. I asked God to open another door. Didn’t happen. I asked God to move someone else on. Didn’t happen. I asked God over and over again to engage…and heaven was silent. Have you ever felt that way? Maybe for you it was something much more serious, an addiction or illness. My spiritual barometer like most others was so entwined in my socioeconomic health that I defined my spiritual health by it. If I was doing well at work, home, even physically healthy, God was blessing! If I wasn’t doing well in these areas, I needed divine intervention from God to fix it! Even the definition of “health” is subjective. As we pursue spiritual formation we cannot forget that the purpose is the development of what is eternal. There is a heart that is to be formed. Ultimate blessing isn’t about getting rich or living to be 100 years old. We cannot let our material, physical or social status be a direct reflection of our spiritual progress. The discipline must be pervasive enough to transcend our circumstances.

So hear me out. If you are going through a tough time and it causes you to pray, it could be good, or the silence of heaven that causes patience may be a part of the forming process too. Sometimes the searching appears to point in the wrong direction for a few years. Who’s to say God isn’t using that? Formation by nature isn’t easy, and usually isn’t quick. Maybe the difficulty you are facing now has the potential to produce something good in you, if you will let it. The loss of temporal things, social status, even health could be forming something eternal in you and this could be your greatest blessing. How do you learn patience without being in situations that force you to wait? How do you learn sacrificial love unless you are in situations that require difficult love? How do you learn the practice of peace unless you are in situations where peace seems elusive? How do you learn the meaning and power of the covenants in marriage until it is difficult to hold to them? Just maybe sometimes the silence is actually speaking something. Listen closely.

One of those days? Help is just around the corner.

Jaipur, a walled city of about three million people in northwest India, was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. It travel has been known as the “pink city” since 1876, when buildings were painted pink to welcome Prince Edward (later King Edward VII). Jaipur’s most famous pink building, the Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds), has an intricate sandstone façade representing the crown of Krishna, a Hindu god often given the title of Gopala, the Protector of Cows. The cows protected by Krishna wander in and along Jaipur’s unusually broad streets, reflecting the Hindu conception of the divine. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The central fact of Hinduism is cow protection.” Hindus, constituting about 80 percent of India’s population, believe that all sentient beings are animated by an essence called “Atman,” a name related to the English word “atmosphere.” They also believe the eternal Atman is indistinguishable from Brahman, the transcendent reality underlying all the traditional Hindu gods. As a result, most Hindus are vegetarians and see killing or even corralling animals in the same way they would see doing the same thing to a person or to a god. So, not only do cows roam freely in Indian cities, but so do monkeys and other animals. Indians revere their cows more than the other

Cows and people wandering in Jaipur.

animals in their streets because of what cows provide. During its life, a cow provides milk for families, dung for fire and fertilizer and muscles for farms, all without complaint. Upon its natural death, a cow provides skin for shoes and bones for buttons. So important is the cow to the Indian way of life that its name “gau mata” means “mother cow” and ancient Hindu texts refer to the cow as the mother of civilization. In the crowded streets of Jaipur and other Indian cities, cows block traffic, cause accidents

and create chaos in the markets. But efforts to curb their freedom even a little are met with protests. So the cows continue to roam, presenting a living illustration of the Hindu belief that the divine resides in all creatures, great and small.

Decorating rich: You, too, can do this

Commentary by Vicky Earley

You have seen these houses; they appear on the front of Elegant Living Magazine and are plastered all over Houzz. decorating They are the lovely homes that exude graciousness… and lots and lots of money. Sometimes they are the homes of celebrities or software developers but sometimes they are the homes of real people who simply did decorating “right.” There are tangible differences between the house that just happens and the one that is carefully sculpted into a piece of art. The home that looks complete will be accomplished through a planned process and, with the exception of periodic updates, will be left to enjoy. This will sound harsh to those who just love to shop. My best advice is to decorate once and do it right. After that, focus on shoes or sweaters for the shopping fix. Rich looking homes do have features that set them apart. Drapery is typically full, lined and interlined. It touches the floor or puddles. It does not come out of a plastic bag. Rich homes will take drapery well beyond the top of the window… to the ceiling in some cases. Most rich looking homes will have wood floors. Wall to wall carpet can never look as warm and inviting as wood.

since the necessary yardage is far less than anything else in your home. Use patterns judiciously to achieve a richer look. Texture is a subtle element that sets a rich looking room apart from a so-so house. Loose the builder grade lighting. Splurge on one fabulous chandelier for the dining area or foyer. It will set the tone for the rest of the lighting in the home. Try painting doors black. It elevates them to new importance. Loose the clutter. Any item that is visible should be a part of the overall design plan. Beef up your molding. If crown molding is already in place, you can give it the illusion of being far grander by simply adding a strip four to six inches down and painting it all the same. Take a room and paint it a deep dark chocolate or indigo. Light color furnishing and art will explode in such a room. Remember, the homes that look as if they belong to the wealthiest among us are treated as planned project with a start and a finish to the vision. Certainly, such homes can evolve but there is a calm luxury in living life in a home that is not in a constant state of incompletion.

Accent pillows are important to a rich look. Eighteen-inch polyester pillows just don’t cut it so consider this an opportunity to splurge. Use pillows that are oversized and filled with down. This is a great place to use an incredible textile

YOUR WEDDING ‘DO Are you are agonizing over how to wear your hair on your big day? It is one of the most important days of your life, and it is vital to look and feel your best! Deciding on the perfect hairstyle requires some thought, so consider these tips when finalizing your ‘do plan. 1. Talk to your stylist. Several months before your big day, get professional tips on what to do to get (and keep) your hair in the best shape possible. If you are thinking about a drastic change in hair color or style, it is best to try it out many months before your wedding day. 2. Plan early. If you have short hair or bangs you would like to grow out,

begin the process immediately. It takes short hair many months to reach shoulder length or longer, which is ideal for many up-do styles. 3. Consider your dress style. During the consultation with your stylist, make sure they understand the neckline and style of your dress. This will help decide which style might be best for you. Bring in a picture of your dress if you have one available. With careful consideration and open dialogue with a professional stylist, you will ensure that the end result will be one you love! You will gain joy looking back over your wedding photos for years to come.

Master bath remodel: Updating 1990s materials

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING MASTER BATH: Built in 1999, this home located in the Lynnwood at Plum Creek neighborhood in Carmel blueprint for does not improvement look its age. However, as the second owners, these homeowners knew they would remodel the master bathroom. “When we bought, we loved the house and the location,” stated one of the homeowners. “However, the master bath was very pink and dated, so we planned to change it right from the start.” DESIGN PROCESS: “The original bathroom was done with builder grade materials,” said one of the owners. “The tub was bigger than the shower, and was not a good use of space. We had a big, beautiful bathroom space with vaulted ceilings, but we did not like the style or functionality. You use your bathroom every day, and we wanted to create a space we liked.” ENLARGED SHOWER: Enlarging the shower was the top priority for the new design. According to one of the owners,“The old shower was so small it was annoying and difficult to use. We wanted a shower like the one we had in our last house, with double shower heads and a corner seat. A big shower works well for us.” Relocat-

Before ing the expanded shower to an existing corner opposite the double-door entry made it a focal point for the space. A frameless glass door in the arched doorway highlights the uniquely-textured white wall tiles and the granite seat. INCREASED STORAGE: The homeowners knew what they wanted for storage as well. “I was looking for more than a linen closet in the bathroom,” stated the homeowners. The cabinetry next to the shower has space for towels, but also serves as storage for accessories like scarves, hats and purses. FINAL RESULT: The final result was pleasing. “We were looking for our bathroom to feel like an upscale spa in a luxurious hotel. Working in collaboration with our designer using 3-D modeling

After software helped us see the final product before it was built. It was helpful to see the scale of each part. We love the new space. The Tiffany box-inspired colors gave us the clean look we wanted, and the light fixture is the perfect jewelry for the room.”
