Volunteers helped GSN prepare for Christmas distribution
By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com
Nancy Chance, executive director of the Good Samaritan Network (GSN), helps those in need in Hamilton County throughout the year, but politics her unwavering generosity is most apparent during the holiday season. On Dec. 10, over 200 volunteers donated evening hours to help unload trucks and organize the donations Chance received throughout the year for the Holiday Assistance Program. “I started out helping 397 families in 1980; the network helped close to 26,000 families this year. The families were referred by other clubs, organizations, pantries and churches, so that’s how we know who needed assistance,” said Chance. Head coach of the Noblesville High School football team, Lance Scheib, rallied his team around the cause. The team members moved enumerable boxes filled with toys, clothing and books. “I got an e-mail from Nancy requesting help, and one part of our football program is that we want our kids to understand how important it is to give back. We’re trying to develop servant leaders. These kids are a great example for our student body,” said Scheib. Scheib said that the team likes to do community service as a large group because with so many hands, they can work quickly. “This is a first-class organization, and we are lucky to have it here in Hamilton County. She (Chance) asked if she could have us next year. I told her that it’s already on the calendar,” Scheib said. Many of the players were surprised by the needs of many local residents. “It’s kind of cool to see the impact we might have on a family’s Christmas,” said Noblesville High School senior, Jake Owen. Chance has three storage areas in which donations are kept throughout the year. Planning to organize all of the donations began months ahead of the event. “I process-map everything in my head logistically. I’ve been thinking about it for six months. Everything works out because it’s done for the greater good... we get it done,” said Chance. Chance was appreciative of the community’s support. She encourages adult volunteers to bring their children. “You learn to give back when you’re young,” she said.

Fishers residents Clarice McCauley and her daughter Kieran McCauley volunteered together. “We wanted to get involved to help others, especially during the Christmas season,” said Clarice. “It’s fun to help others and meet new people,” added Kieran. Judge Brian Poindexter, judge of Carmel City Court, enjoyed the experience of working with other volunteers to help those in need during the holiday season. He serves as president-elect of the Rotary Club of Carmel, a partner of the GSN to arrange for food and gifts for those in need in the Carmel city area. “This is an extraordinary example of what a dedicated group of people can do to make Christmas better for families that are having a hard time,” said Poindexter.

Set in the upper-crust world of the 1920s, “Magic in the Moonlight” is the story of a magician named Stanley who’s also a man of science. Played unctuously and splendidly by Colin Firth, Stanley makes a hobby of exposing charlatans who pretend to have psychic abilities. His latest target, a young would-be seeress named Sophie (Emma Stone), proves to be his greatest challenge – and an unlikely love interest. To read more, visit currentnightandday.com
The most popular baby names for 2014 have been tabulated, and columnist Mike Redmond noticed that Michael has fallen from favor. For years, he watched as Michael survived the ebb and flow of popular opinion to remain one of the more popular boys’ names. This made him inordinately proud until he remembered that all these little Michaels weren’t being named after him. Which, come to think of it, is probably a good thing.

By Holly Kilne • news@currentinfishers.com Fresh Thyme Farmers Market is a neighborhood grocery store being built at 11481 E. 116th Street in Fishers. While Fresh Thyme’s food location near the intersection of 116th and Hoosier Road is in close proximity to competitors like Kroger, Marsh and Fresh Market, executives at Fresh Thyme are confident that their new store with its innovative, producefocused layout will draw enough shoppers. “As consumers make the switch to a healthier lifestyle, they look for more fresh and natural offerings without the temptation of an overwhelming amount of unhealthy packaged products,” explained Colein Whicher, Director of Marketing and Strategy at Fresh Thyme. “We hear from our shoppers that it’s much easier for them to stay on track with healthy eating when they shop our stores,” she continued. Fresh Thyme Farmers Market is committed to providing healthy food that comes from local sources. Whicher confirmed that the new 116th Street store will include food from Indiana and possibly Fishers. “Our buyers have a great time tasting and selecting local favorite food and incorporating it into our offerings throughout the store,” she said. “We also buy as much locallygrown fresh Indiana produce as is available.” Fishers resident Megan Banks is excited for the new Fresh Thyme store to open near her neighborhood and has been to the 86th Street

Everything is very fresh and there are unique items.” What made Fresh Thyme choose their Fishers location? Whicher said that Fresh Thyme thinks the Fishers community is a great fit for the store’s concept. “Fishers’ residents are welleducated, active and know the value of fresh, healthy and organic food,” she stated. The new Fresh Thyme Farmers Market store in Fishers will be open in 2015 and will create 90 – 100 new jobs, both full and part time. Whicher reiterated that shoppers will enjoy the new store. “Fresh Thyme customers really enjoy the casual, fun and friendly atmosphere of our stores, as well as the easy shopping experience,” she stated.

Club announces essay contest By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s time again for the Sertoma Club of Broad Ripple’s annual essay contest. The club has sponsored the Naessays tional Heritage Essay Contest for more than 30 years for sixth-grade students in public, private and parochial schools in the Greater Indianapolis area. Tom Lange, the club’s publicity director, said about half of the club’s 108 members live in Carmel. “We have about 15 to 20 members from Fishers, those are our two main areas,” Lange said. Many of the classrooms from schools in those two area participate in the contests. The Sertoma Club has a committee of 20 to 25 people that read the essays and judge them, Lange said. The topic that the students address in their essays is the same as last year, “What Freedom Means to Me.” According to the club’s release, the Sertoma Club’s belief is that participation in the contest encourages students to better understand the founding principles of the United States and consider how those principles affect their lives today. The 2013-14 winner was Carter Bailey from Carmel Middle School. His teacher was Cheri Boudouris.
“Freedom means being able to live and travel wherever I want,” Bailey wrote in his essay. “Nearly 60 years ago a 12-year-old AfricanAmerican boy like my (grandpa) did not have the privilege. Fortunately, that is not the case today.” Bailey received $375 for first place. The second-place grand prize winner, Kieran Thomas, also was from Carmel Middle School and earned $250. His teacher was Shannon Miller. The thirdplace finisher was Dexter King, St. Richard’s Episcopal School in Indianapolis. The students and their families along with the teachers were honored at a Sertoma luncheon in May. At the annual luncheon, the three winners read their essay to the audience. The three each receive a plaque and certificate, a copy of the Bill of Rights and a monetary reward. During the 2013-14 school year, there were more than 1,100 essays from 58 classrooms in 15 schools. Classroom winning essays were chosen by the committee from the three submitted by each classroom teacher. A total of 21 finalist essays were submitted for consideration as one of three grand prize winners. The deadline for interested sixth-grade teachers to enter their classroom is Dec. 23. The teachers should contact Jerry Adams by e-mail jgadams97@comcast.netmail. The 2015 luncheon is set for May 6 at the Knights of Columbus Hall on 71st street in Indianapolis.

structured parking spaces. 26 of the 77 units have been preleased—ahead of the building completion. The cost of a one-bedroom apartment starts at $900, with two and three-bedroom apartments available. “We’re seeing a great mix of young millennials and empty nesters. The location will attract all ages and backgrounds,” said Crystal Gray, the complex’s property manager.

Everyday Christians do God’s work Commentary by Mike Colaw To all the normal Christians. Years ago I was invited to hear a well-known superstar pastor speak. As I sat in faith the enormous auditorium, the preservice energy and excitement was high. Really high! A lady approached me and asked if I had ever heard him before in person. I told her no. She informed me I was in for an exciting experience. Wow, she was more than right, and awkwardly so! The lights came down low. Huge monitors started flashing his name across the screen. The bass from the speakers was deep and drawn out. Then a deep voice bellowed as more lights flashed across the room, “This prophet of God has a message for you.” The introduction was so spectacular I was ready for a WWF wrestler to run out on the stage and tear his shirt off! I have never heard such an intense message before! It was so different from my calm and collected professors. Honestly, I don’t even remember what he said, I just remember how he said it. We live in the era of superstar Christians. It’s not just pastors – it’s musicians, politicians and even talk show hosts. It›s our fault we love to make people into little gods, yet equally love to tear them down again. We love to make people way more than what they really are, which is just people. They are all flawed messy sinners,
every one of them. Yet there is another danger that lurks in this era of superstar Christians and monster mega ministries - the assumption that elite gifting is what qualifies someone to do ministry so most Christians stop doing ministry and just watch a few of the “great” ones be great. This devastates the intent of the Gospel. Henri Nouwen calls this human tendency “the temptation to be spectacular.” What if imperfect people stopped obsessing over their lack of ability to eloquently communicate, or sing like an angel, or be a brilliant theologian and realized all the TRUE greatness that is in them is the message they carry? So let the great singers sing to the glory of God, let the great preachers preach to the glory of God, let the deep theologians write to the glory of God…but remember, normal Christian, what really, eternally, makes them great isn’t them at all and is something that is absolutely in you, too. You are not less qualified to change a life, so stop just observing others and go do God’s work yourself! Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

Friends make store dream come true By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Tatiana Anguelova and Mariana Raibulet often commiserated about having to travel to Chicago to get authentic European business foods at a store. So for 10 years they had talked about starting their own business. In September, the two friends made it a reality, opening the Blue Danube European Deli, 11850 Allisonville Rd., in Fishers. Both women said they had no doubt they would do it. Anguelova said they just had to find the right time. Anguelova, 47, came to Indianapolis from Bulgaria 16 years ago while Raibulet, 45, came from Romania at the same time. They met while taking adult classes to learn English at North Central High School. Both women said their families won the green card lottery to come to the United States. They became friends but lost contact for a few years before meeting again at a reunion held by their former English instructors. At that time, they found they were both living in Brownsburg close to each other. Their sons are the same age and soon became close friends. For the past five years, the two women worked together as instructional assistants for students with special needs at Brownsburg East Middle School. Anguelova was an elementary school teacher in Bulgaria.
“Last year when my son finished college, I said ‘let’s make this come true,’” Anguelova said of the business. “That was a year ago.” Anguelova said she lived in the Nora area for four years and loved it so she was familiar with the north side of Indianapolis. “We knew Fishers is growing very fast,” Anguelova said. “Plus my son (Miroslav) is living five minutes away (from the store). He’s a pharmacist.” Raibulet’s son Rares is in dental school and she has a daughter Andra who is a freshman at Brownsburg High School. Andra often works on Saturdays at the store. Anguelova said the store (www.bluedaubedeli. com) has types of salami, polish sausage and some other meats and cheeses that can’t be found elsewhere. Blue Danube also have a buildyour-own-sandwich station. Anguelova said the store makes some of its own pastries, such as sweet cheese pies. “We are making our own bread from scratch,” Anguelova said In addition, the store carries beer and wine from Europe. There are also chocolates from Europe. “We have one of the best coffees (LavAzza) in Europe right now which I don’t think you can find very easily here,” Anguelova said. The Blue Danube is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and closed on Sunday.

Bank locally: A history of the Fishers National Bank By Beth Clark • news@currentinfishers.com At this time of year we are encouraged to shop locally for holiday gifts, which is increasingly easier to do back in the day in Fishers with the arrival of small retail businesses in the downtown area. T-shirt shop Vardagen in the heart of Fishers at 8684 E. 116th St. has been in business for just over two years printing custom designed shirts. The sturdy, white brick building that the store occupies has an early history as singular as the t-shirts sold there. It’s also a history not too far removed from the design and printing process. “Bank locally” may not be a hip catchphrase today, but in 1913, Fishers residents were urged to bank close to home at the Fishers National Bank, which opened in July of that year in the building now utilized by Vardagen. The lot for the bank was purchased for $300 in 1912 from William “Uncle Bill” Brandom, a local character who reportedly, among his many eccentricities, always went barefoot, never dressed for winter, papered the walls of his log cabin with newspaper comics and refused to accept paper money, dealing only in gold he kept in an old iron box. The two-story brick bank building with a fireproof vault (that Vardagen uses today as a room to showcase its skateboard designs) was erected in the fall of 1913 at a cost of $8000. Two of the town’s physicians served as the bank’s

president and vice-president, Drs. S.P. Scherer and J.P. Heath, respectively. National banks were established across the country during the Civil War as a sound way to finance a national currency system and replace worthless money issued by private banks. Local National banks deposited bonds in the U.S. Treasury, which in turn printed banknotes, also called “hometown notes” in the name of the local National bank. These notes, branded with the local bank’s name, were backed by the U.S. government and were good anywhere. Large value hometown notes display elaborate design work with detailed historical vignettes and are sought-after collectibles. The designs until later years prominently placed the name of the local bank in the center of the note, indicat-
ing a pride of place and affirming local identity. National Bank Notes were retired as a currency type by the U.S. government in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The Fishers National Bank was liquidated in April 1930. In the years after the bank’s closing, the building housed restaurants under a number of proprietors, including Max Eller, who owned Eller’s Lunch, and Amy Harper Herron, who operated the longtime Fishers establishment, the White Kitchen. Although each establishment was special to the town, Vardagen carries on the practice of imprinting the local name. The brand’s growing success shares Fishers with a large audience.

How to deal with coyotes By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Nearly every winter, Hamilton County residents start talking about dangerous coyotes roaming the suburbs. nature To deal with this topic headon, Hamilton County Parks and the Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife gave a presentation on these wild canines to a packed room of more than 100 people on Dec. 2. COYOTE BASICS Shawn Rossler, fur bearer biologist with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, spoke about all of the different animals that can be found in the area, many of which could be mistaken for coyotes. Red foxes and gray foxes are smaller than coyotes and do live in the area. Gray wolves are not found in Indiana, but Rossler said they often get calls. “There can be confusion about the general size of an animal,” he said. “When you actually compare a wolf and a coyote it’s pretty amazing.” Coyotes generally weigh 20 to 35 pounds with a length of four to five feet with a tail that’s a foot and a half. They have 42 teeth and their fur is tawny gray with black-tipped hairs. They might resemble certain domestic dog breeds, but coyotes will have more pointed features, such as their ears and muzzle. Breeding season is in January and February and that’s when authorities receive the most reports of coyote attacks. Rossler said the existence of a coyote shouldn’t itself be a concern. “Just because you see a coyote, doesn’t mean there is a conflict,” he said. “I understand it’s a concern, but we’ve had coyotes in Indiana for a long time. It might have already have been living near you with no problem.” HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM If you want to rid your neighborhood of coyotes, the best method might be to hire a licensed Indiana nuisance wildlife control officer, such as Tim Julien, who works in that field. Julien said the only coyotes he really deals with are those that have “lost that fear of humans” because they’ve been fed by people. In Indiana, it is legal to hunt coyotes, but it’s

illegal to discharge a firearm within city limits, which means that trapping is the best method. Experts recommend the best way is to use a “soft trap” with rubber sides that won’t injure an animal. There are also wire traps and snares that will only trap canines – not cats – and will allow a trapped animal to breathe until someone can safely set it free or euthanize it. Julien said he has cameras on his traps and he checks them every 12 hours. If you do see a coyote in your yard, Rossler said the best thing to do isn’t to run away or grab a weapon. You should make lots of loud noises to scare the animal away. Tips for Prevention: • Feed pets indoors whenever possible • Position bird feeders in a way to not attract small animals • Secure garbage containers • Don’t allow pets to run free • Install motion sensor lights If you do see a coyote, yell or bang on something to create negative reinforcement so the coyote doesn’t want to come back. Visual sighting Coyotes are typically 20 to 35 pounds and measure 40 to 50 inches in length with pointed ears and muzzle. They have comparatively long legs and tawny gray fur with black-tipped hairs.

New business combines aesthetic treatments and retail with a conscience By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com Mississippi-native Anna Skinner-Wilson moved to the Indianapolis area five years ago to take a job as a pediatcover story ric and neonatal intensive care nurse at Riley Hospital for Children. After a stint as a labor and delivery nurse at Community East hospital, she decided to make a career change. “I enjoyed my job and still miss it, but I got burnt out. There’s just so much you can see over the years with children. And with all the changes in healthcare, I felt Skinner-Wilson done,” said Skinner-Wilson. She came up with an idea. A welcoming spalike atmosphere where clients could come to relax and receive aesthetic treatments. They begin with teeth whitening. “The service usually costs $400-600 at a dentist’s office, but we use a self-application system with the same LED light, which reduces the cost,” she said. The two teeth whitening rooms are designed to promote relaxation. Clients can listen to relaxing music and use aromatherapy products while they get their teeth whitened. Across the hall in another private room, clients can try a body sculpting treatment. “We have The Firm system, which uses electrotherapy. Clients pick out the areas that they want to target, and the electrodes stimulate the muscles,” Skinner-Wilson said. One session results in the feeling of a good work out. Clients can also experience a warming personal sauna treatment. “It’s like a sleeping bag, everything is covered except for the head. We come in to put a cool cloth on your head and provide sips of lemon water while you relax and have your treatment,” said Skinner-Wilson. Skinner-Wilson also promotes the Waist Away diet. The plan is a low carb plan, but is less restrictive than the Atkins plan. “By combining the treatments with the diet plan, you can experience real results,” she said. Wilson

provides e-mail support and encouragement with a focus on health. Wilson thought a gift shop would work well with her aesthetic treatments, so she added a retail component to the business. She promotes other small businesses and purchases products with philanthropy in mind. “We sell items that are primarily Indiana-made or Mississippi-made with a philanthropic component,” she said. Beauvoir Aesthetics is the first shop in Fishers to carry the Frangipani skincare line made in Indianapolis. She carries Belief Bands, a faith-based jewelry line, and a prized selection of Arthur Court, a line of unique aluminum
home entertaining gifts. “Every Southern girl has Arthur Court on her bridal registry, so I had to bring it here,” said Skinner-Wilson. The lounge area is meant to be a place for patrons to relax. She envisions holiday shoppers stopping in to take a break, have a cup of coffee and enjoy a treatment. Wilson’s Southern hospitality and sense of humor creates a charming place to unwind. “I wanted to create a place where people can take care of themselves in a relaxed environment. We have no pretensions, and we’re reachable to everyone,” she added. Beauvoir Aesthetics grand opening happens Dec. 16.
“I wanted to create a place where people can take care of themselves in a relaxed environment.”
Choosing a name with meaning In French, “beauvoir” means “beautiful view.” The name is significant and nostalgic to Anna Skinner-Wilson, who grew up on the lovely Mississippi Gulf Coast. Beauvoir House, located in Biloxi, Mississippi, was built in 1852 and was originally called “Orange Grove,” due to the Satsuma oranges being grown on the property. In 1873, Sarah Dorsey, a novelist, historian and wife of a wealthy Louisiana planter, acquired the property. She was an intellectually gifted woman, very forward-thinking and feminist in her views for that era. Upon seeing the house for the first time, Sarah exclaimed, “Oh, my! What a beautiful view!”, thus bestowing the name upon the grand home. ”Beauvoir House represents history, love, beauty and friendship,” said SkinnerWilson. “More importantly, as it pertains to Beauvoir Aesthetics, it represents the same beauty, but also the intellect and resilience of the people who walk through our door. We sincerely hope you find the same relaxation and happiness from us that this lovely historic home brought to its owners throughout its storied history.”

Cluttered chaos
FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Let’s make it local every single day In 2010, American Express founded Small Business Saturday. The company says it did so to help businesses with their most pressing need: getting more customers. The day happens every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and encourages people to shop at the small businesses that help write the story of America. Nov. 29th’s event brought mixed reviews from shopkeepers locally. As we close in on Christmas, and there remains shopping to be done, we asked ourselves, “Why only Small Business Saturday? Why not Small Business Every Day?” Despite whatever rhetoric you may hear coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., small businesses comprise the backbone of enterprise in this great nation. For every national baked-goods chain, there are thousands of mom-and-pop storefronts waiting to serve you, almost all with homecooked, made-from-scratch servings. And for every major muffler outlet, there are scores of corner garages everywhere ready, willing and able to fix what ails your vehicle. And for every Fashion Earring and Doodad Shop International, there exist many one-off gift shops with unique offerings designed, crafted and packaged – GASP! – in the United States. So, it should be Small Business Every Day. Consider that as make your list and check it twice. Go ahead and make the pilgrimage to the mall or the big-box retailer, but add to your itinerary one or more of the locally owned businesses, where you actually can find gifts not available in Walla Walla, Wash., and where you truly can make a difference for those who receive as much as those who sell. And when you hand over your cash for the items you’ve chosen, give yourself credit for helping the economy at a very local-local level. The merchants will thank you sincerely, and you’ll have done a very good deed. And you don’t need to wait until the Saturday after next Thanksgiving to do it. Now, if we could only find someone to wrap these gifts we’ve bought. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
A biased bias
Commentary by Terry Anker
We, each of us humans, look at the world through our own eyes. Naturally, how could we do it any other way? But as such, all stimuli is received and perceived from our own unique perspective. We assume that what we see is what is actually there. Our senses collect data and deliver it to our brains. Which in turn, assesses the information and produces a concept of the matter. Based upon experience, comparison and extrapolation, we move forward confident that our perception is reality. Moreover we assume that if given similar data, other reasonable people would come to similar, if not identical, outcomes. But in practice, we all bring our own unique mechanical and cognitive ability to the assessment. In short, we do not agree. While enjoying a good book on a Sunday afternoon, my lovely bride is routinely covering me with a blanket. “Why,” say I, “are you doing this?” She has determined the room to be cold and assumes that I
must perceive it the same way. Ordinarily, I do not. In fact, I find the room almost too warm – certainly too much for a lap throw. How could we both, healthy and long-married adults, be confronted with the same data and yet arrive at such vastly different outcomes? Is one of us wrong? Is there an empirical device that could unequivocally settle our dispute? If the thermostat read 70 degrees is this hot or cold? Ferguson is now, and will forever be, marred by the tragedy that occurred there. Perhaps we can agree on this assessment. But who is to blame and who is the victim? What does our own bias bring us to believe? Are we witnessing protests, riots or terrorists activity? Can we ever hope to avoid our biased bias? Can anyone?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
– Mark Twain
Zebra-stripe curtains, canary-yellow walls and a purple shag rug? Sounds cool, but what else? How about an anole terrarium, an oak trophy case and a multi-colored hydra lamp? Okay, I’m listening. And for the finishing touches, let’s throw in a nail polish stained used-tobe-white carpet, plaster the place with posters of various “Dance Moms” stars and adorable kittens, and since its December, hang twinkle lights and fake garland from corner to corner. Sold! The perfect bedroom for a 10-year-old girl. It’s also the absolute worst nightmare for a working mom who can’t tolerate clutter, crazy or catastrophic levels of cuteness. And yet every night I’m forced to enter said bedroom to tuck my youngest in to bed. Psychedelic sights, sounds and vaguely-recognizable smells assault my every sense as I cautiously make my way to her, careful not to step on stray pins, discarded Skittles, lip gloss and an everlasting assortment of cowgirl boots, tap shoes and plastic flip-flops. Frankly it’s a miracle I haven’t seriously injured myself or come down with a nasty bug. And don’t even get me started about the number of clothes she’s purchased/collected/ hoarded. If she’s not spending her chore money at Ulta Beauty Supply, you can be sure she’s buying yet another graphic tee at Delia’s. Plus she has all her big sister’s handme-downs and several self-made ensembles. Did I mention there’s a sewing machine and mannequin squeezed into the space between the bathroom door and dresser? Both are hard to see as they are usually covered with bolts of lime-green polka dot fleece and burgundy corduroy. My daughter goes through a “fashion designer” phase about every six months! Compounding the insanity, the room is only 10x10. I may be poking fun at my little drama queen, but I can’t argue against her extraordinary gift for maximizing space. Supposedly a desk and chair reside in there too, though I haven’t seen either in about three months. Supposedly she also houses vast collections of Moshi monster toys, make-up and hair accessories amidst the décor, but again, I couldn’t say exactly where. No matter. My only goals are to ensure she doesn’t set the place on fire and that no dairy products are left to congeal. I’m actually quite proud of my tolerance level concerning her room, which of course is based entirely on the requirement that her door remain closed. And when I must enter, I just make sure to kill the lights first to minimize any adverse physiological reactions on my part. This is, after all, not my place of refuge, but that of a 10-year-old girl. Peace out.

We needed a new toaster, but Mary Ellen was afraid I’d purchase one that looked like that Scion car. So we went shopping together humor and soon had a shiny new addition to our kitchen counter. I opened the box and was about to discard the directions, confident that even I could master this simple device, knowing the basic premise of toasting hasn’t changed much over the years. As I discovered, the instructions are apparently for folks who are first-time buyers. To them, this is the greatest invention since sliced bread. In fact, this was the next invention after sliced bread. The first page of the booklet is a diagram that points out some of the nifty features of the appliance. Numbered one to five, there are arrows pointing at buttons labeled: 1. Toast Lever 2. Bagel 3. Frozen 4. Cancel 5. Toast Shade If you didn’t have this diagram, you would have to look on the actual buttons—which clearly say: Lever, Bagel, Frozen, Cancel and Toast Shade. The toast shade button is a bit misleading since all the shades are basically tan. I think the manufacturer should make that clear. Mary Ellen and I tried the toaster. We put in two slices and slowly pushed the lever down. So
far, so good. We had set the shade for medium, so when the toaster started sending up smoke signals, we quickly pushed the cancel button… but nothing happened. One part of the instructions makes it very clear that first you load the toast, then you press down and lock the lever in place. This load and lock method by Black & Decker is a little different from the lock and load method popularized by Smith & Wesson. Black & Decker wants you to know that the cord on your appliance is intentionally short because if it is too long, you could become entangled in it and trip. So, if you are running an extension cord from your garage through the living room and into the kitchen to connect the toaster, well, you’ve been warned. Black & Decker also makes it clear that “the use of accessory attachments” is not recommended. Good advice for people who were going to hook up the toaster to their iPad or printer. They also warn against using the toaster for anything other than its intended purpose. So don’t think of heating your upstairs guestroom with 10 of these, sadly.

New IMA exhibit curated by Carmel resident
By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com
The Indianapolis Museum of Art’s exhibition “Georgia O’Keeffe and the Southwest Still Life” is now open, and Carmel resident Harriet art Warkel couldn’t be more excited. “I was thrilled when they asked me back,” Warkel said during a recent walk through the exhibit. Warkel was formerly the curator of American Art for the IMA for 26 years. Then, this year she was asked to return as guest curator for the “Southwest” exhibit. Although the exhibit, which will go on tour nationally after its run in Indianapolis, focuses on many of O’Keeffe’s famous pieces that were crafted in New Mexico, Warkel said that if anyone only comes to see O’Keeffe’s works they would be “missing the whole point.” “[O’Keeffe] loved the Southwest,” Warkel said. “The east was becoming industrialized and artists were looking for something unique to paint.”
Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Jimson Weed” painting is owned by the IMA, and is also on display in the new exhibit. (Submitted photo)
The time period that Warkel speaks of is the md-1900s when a flood of New York City artists, well established in their fields, broke free from the sky rises and landed in New Mexico, many
who helped to start the Taos Society of Artists. O’Keeffe herself once said: “Once I saw New Mexico, that was mine.” Not all artists stayed in New Mexico, but for O’Keeffe she loved it enough to eventually build two homes there. By the time her husband died in the 1940s, New Mexico was her permanent residence. While in the Southwest, O’Keeffe focused mainly on painting her well-known flowers, however she did dabble in architectural pieces and striking images of bones. Other artists, whose works are also on display at the IMA, painted Hispanic and Native American images. The exhibit is available for public viewing until Feb. 15. Warkel, who is a member of Carmel’s art council and is an artistic jewelry maker herself, said she hopes Carmel residents come out to see the exhibit. “We are an art city,” she said of Carmel. “And the IMA has so much to offer, not far from Carmel.”

Place chicken into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chicken), until chicken is thoroughly cooked and the juice is bubbling. Cover the pan and let chicken sit for 5 minutes and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve on top of rice, making sure to spoon the juices on top. Serves 4. shutterbean.com

Someone Really
Is your child achieving in everything except school? If this sounds like your child, he or she may be struggling with a vision problem eyesight that is not detected by reading a vision chart. It impacts learning and is known as convergence insufficiency. CI affects vision, reading and comprehension. When someone has CI, he or she is not able to easily focus on near tasks for very long. There is an attempt to focus on the near task (for example, reading, math homework, timed tests), but quickly find they cannot concentrate and/ or physically focus on that task. Does this sound like your child? Most people with CI don’t know they have it, and CI doesn’t go away with age. It is not detected in a standard eye exam or eye screening by reading a standard eye chart. Most kids, in fact, have 20/20 vision. If you ask them if they can see, they say they can. But the most common symptoms of CI are: • Difficulty concentrating. • Difficulty reading.
• Sleepiness. • Tired eyes. • Overlapping words. • Headaches. Most will have perhaps only a few of these symptoms because the child has learned to adapt. And please be forewarned: ADHD is the most common misdiagnosis. Too, many children with CI have lower self-esteem, and they tend to believe headaches are just part of life. There is a cure for CI. The first step is having your child evaluated by an eye doctor who tests for the condition. Not all do. It is not part of a standard eye examination. Secondly, once the diagnosis is made, there are corrective therapies available. If you believe your child may be suffering from CI, call your vision specialist and ask to have him or her evaluated for CI. The specialist will be able to recommend proper therapy if needed.

Open-door policy hinders efficiency Commentary by CJ McClanahan If you have an “open door” policy and allow people to wander into your office without an appointment, you move the needle fall into one of three camps: 1. You don’t have enough work to do. 2. Your work is boring and you crave interruptions. 3. You are a social being and need to interact with others every 15 minutes. You’ll notice that I didn’t include “Great leader who is always there for his team.” That’s because a leader with an open door policy is almost always being selfish. Productivity Killer Distractions and interruptions (aka – open door policy) probably make you feel like an effective leader. Unfortunately, every single time you allow someone to pop their head in the office and ask a “quick question” you get the following consequences: 1. Your focus on a task is interrupted. (There is a truckload of research that indicates it takes between 7 and 21 minutes to get refocused.) 2. You discourage your staff from figuring out problems on their own. 3. You add hours to your work day. 4. You struggle to prioritize because you allow every interruption to be important.
You Might As Well Apologize Now Open door leaders (who have a lot to do) end up working late every night and on weekends because they are unable to focus throughout each day. They can’t wait for 5:30 pm because it means they can actually get some work done. There is a Cure Lucky for you, there is a remedy for this ailment. To be successful, you’ll need to follow these three simple concepts: 1. Connect with the reward. You need to build a strong emotional connection with goals or you will give in to the temptation of interruptions. 2. Reset expectations. When you first shut your door you will likely have some ultrasensitive team members who think you are mad at them. You may need to consider an office wide memo telling everyone that when the door is shut you are focusing on an important project. 3. Reflect. End each day by asking yourself the following question – “How could I have improved the way in which I managed my time?” CJ McClanahan is the founder and president of reachmore, a leadership training and consulting firm, and also the author of “Thrive.” To contact CJ, or to find out more about reachmore, go to www.goreachmore.com.

Cape Town’s Table Mountain from Company’s Garden. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Cape Town: Beauty and Brains Commentary by Don Knebel
Cape Town, the second largest city in South Africa, is picturesquely nestled between Table Bay and Table Mountain. Especially Travel on days when a cloud layer known locally as the “table cloth” hovers above its iconic flat-topped mountain, Cape Town is a contender for the most naturally beautiful city in the world. It is also a wonderfully sophisticated city; the equal of any in Europe. The intellectual center of Cape Town is the Company’s Garden, originally used by the Dutch East India Company in the 1650s to grow food for resupplying ships on their way back from India after rounding the Cape of Good Hope. Today, the area is filled with historic statues, immaculately maintained gardens and plenty of over-fed squirrels. Nearby are the Houses of the South African Parliament, the National Library, a planetarium and world-class museums. The Slave Lodge Museum, in a building that once housed slaves adjacent to the Company’s Garden, recounts a dark side of the garden’s history. Some of the Dutch ships picking up supplies dropped off Hindu slaves sold by their Muslim captors to Christian slave traders.
The Iziko South African Museum is located at the south end of the Company’s Garden. Founded in 1825, it has become one of the world’s finest museums of natural history, housing more than 1.5 million items, including a 70-feet long skeleton of a blue whale hung from the ceiling. The collection of fossils and skeletons illustrating biological evolution is particularly extensive and insightful. The sign accompanying a very rare skeleton of a lobed-finned fish closely related to the likely progenitor of all four-legged animals acknowledges that “it is difficult to believe that our very distant ancestors were fish similar to the coelacanths.” The sign next to the skeleton of Homo sapiens at the end of the evolutionary trail seems especially apt: “The only primate that presents a biological threat to the Earth, and to itself.” Cape Town, with a metropolitan population of almost four million, led the “New York Times” 2014 list of top places to visit. If Cape Town is not on your list of cities to visit, it should be. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com.

A zero-threshold shower can add a contemporary and sleek touch to a bathroom design for those looking for a way to update showering space. (Submitted photo)
Zero-threshold showers
Commentary by David Decker
Shower designs have undergone major changes over the past couple of years. Standard construction plans have fallen indoors by the wayside as homeowners look for ways to make showers both practical and luxurious. If you are looking for a way to update your showering space, a zero-threshold shower can add a contemporary and sleek touch to your bathroom design. A threshold refers to the ledge or sill that generally encases the shower. The threshold is intended to keep water spills inside the shower, so that flooding doesn’t occur. Zero-threshold showers were rarely constructed in homes, because they were considered a convenience for people with limited mobility. The lack of a curb makes the shower more accessible and easy to use. Today, aging-in-place designs have gained popularity, and open spaces are being seen as more modern. Without a ledge or threshold, the shower has a look of continuous tile. Both of these consumer preference shifts have set the stage for zerothreshold showers to grow in popularity. Adding a zero-threshold shower requires some preplanning, especially when it comes to the shower pan or base so that no flooding occurs. The length and depth of the shower are also important factors that will control the water flow. If the depth of the shower is not sufficient,
your shower could spill. It will also be difficult for homeowners in wheelchairs to access, which limits the accessibility of the shower. Five-byfive-feet is the smallest shower area recommended for wheelchair use. In terms of the flooring, you will likely want to tile the entire bathroom to create that seamless design that has become synonymous with modern design. Shower doors are optional depending on the size of the shower. Shower areas must slope to the drain. This can require significant construction on the floor, but it will definitely keep your bathroom from developing a standing water problem. The walls of a zero-threshold shower will need to be made from tile or another water-proof material. Anything else could be damaged from the moisture. As for the door, showers with zero-threshold sit directly on the floor. This means that the door may need to be specially ordered or designed. Keep that in mind as you budget out your project. A zero-threshold shower can improve the look of your bathroom, in addition to improving accessibility that’s integral to aging in place.
