DVD Review A lot of people were put off by the bizarre premise of “Her” – a lonely man falls in love with his computer. This might sound like the set-up for a bad raunchy comedy, but in fact this tender drama from writer/director Spike Jonze (“Being John Malkovich”) offers trenchant observations about loneliness and romance.

Decorating Columnist Vicky Early writes this week about how balance isn’t about creating mirror image pairs in a room; it is about weighting the room visually so that the eye flows seamlessly through the space. The balance in a room is most obviously dependent on the size of furnishings but depth of color, patterning, and texture all play a roll. Read more at www.currentnoblesville.com.

DISPATCHES Crime – Two men had more than just mushrooms when they were caught on private property in Hamilton County. Robert Ferrand, Jr., 41, of Greenfield and Timothy Apple, 35, of Pendleton were arrested May 4 after conservation officers received complaints of trespassing from a landowner in the 21600 block of Cyntheanne Road in Noblesville. Both men, who were hunting mushrooms and admitted to having knowingly trespassed on the property in the past, were caught after a brief chase. In addition to a bag of mushrooms, police also found marijuana, paraphernalia and multiple firearms on the suspects. The men, who have been cited in the past for multiple violations, were arrested and taken to the Hamilton County Jail.

Angel offers hope, healing By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

Following the dedication of the Angel of Hope Memorial Garden and white carnations placed to remember lost children, visitors were able to get an up-close view of the engraved bricks and bronze angel statue with the word “Hope” on her right wing. (Photo by Robert Herrington)

Hamilton County has a devoted place for comfort, reflection and hope for those who have lost a child. ceremony Many of the estimated 400 visitors attending the Angel of Hope dedication in Noblesville’s Forest Park on May 4 were grieving family members and friends of children who have died. “It’s a great landmark for Noblesville. It turned out better than I anticipated. Everyone participating has done a wonderful job,” said Gary Warren, memorial designer. On June 1, 2008 Brenda and Kirk Forbes lost their 23-year-old daughter Kristen to cervical cancer. The very next month Alice Hall lost her daughter, Megan, in an auto accident. Two years later Brandi Bates lost her son, Xander, at birth. Bates’ experience with the Angel of Hope in Avon inspired Kirk to try to bring one to Noblesville. Three and a half years later the dream became a reality. “When you lose your child a lot of things go through your mind. You look for answers that can’t be answered. We know someday we will see Kristen again. That is our hope,” Kirk said. “May the Angel of Hope be a garden of solemn and peace

for everyone.” The garden, which is paved with 160 bricks engraved with the names of lost children, is situated in a quiet wooded area. The non-denominational memorial’s centerpiece is the statue of a child angel with extended arms of welcome. The word “Hope” is written on her right wing. “Out of sorrow and tragedy there is opportunity for good to rise,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “Since 1925 Forest Park has been a place enjoyed by children year after year. It seems only fitting there would be a place within the park to remember children that left us too soon.” “Forest Park is a special place and the Angel of Hope makes it even more special of a place,” Parks Director Brandon Bennett said. “We hope you spend plenty of time here and may the angel give you hope like its meant to.” Kirk said that he plans to hold dedications twice a year to remember children as engraved bricks will continue to be sold. He has other ideas for improving the site including a ramp pathway from the parking lot to the memorial and a permanent sign. “The important part is done but there is still some work to do,” he said.

From left: Emily Cowie and Sarah, Lucy and Mike Hosking view a women’s cell on the top floor of the former jail. Spring fling – Since purchasing the former Forest Hill Elementary School, 470 Lakeview Dr., Legacy Christian School officials said they have been asked several times to host an annual Spring Fling carnival similar to the very successful ones that Forest Hill used to have. Because Forest Hill was a neighborhood school, families looked forward to this annual event and it had become a tradition for many. Now that Legacy Christian is settled into its new facility, the school is ready to take on this opportunity to get better acquainted with its neighborhood. The school is in the process of taking down the art piece in front of the building that was completed by former Forest Hills students. It is being disassembling it in such a way that Legacy Christian can make the pieces of that available to the community. These items will be on display, and former students and their families are welcome to come and bid on them at the Legacy Christian School carnival from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. May 16.

COMMUNITY

Current in Noblesville

Losing a pillar After 67 years of serving the community, Irv Heath is moving away

lation was 5,000 people compared to more than 52,000 today. “We lived 18 blocks from downtown Noblesville but across the street from me was an active farm with sheep and cattle. Now it’s a shopping center,” Heath said. Heath said he will miss downtown Noblesville the most. “The courthouse square looks so good,” he said. “You drive around Indiana and there are so many courthouse squares that are run down or the stores are vacant. The square looks great and building owners all keep up.”

Building the club

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Irving M. Heath, 95, moved to Noblesville in 1946. On May 9 he left the place he called home for almost 70 years to be Cover story closer to his children. “I hate it. I love Noblesville,” he said. “I loved every day.” During his time in the city, Heath ran an insurance agency for almost 50 years, helped create the Noblesville Boys & Girls Club, served as a precinct councilman for 18 years, was an active Lions Club member and had his hands in countless other projects and programs. “When he decided to settle here he became a part of the community and is a pillar,” said Rollin Cutter, Noblesville resident and Lions Club member. “He really has done a lot of things for Noblesville behind the scenes that may not have been created to him.”

Greatest generation

Heath graduated high school in 1937 in Worcester, Mass. His class size was 882 and he said he was “tired of being a number” so he wanted to attend a small college and was accepted to DePauw University in Greencastle. “I had never been west of the Hudson River,” he said. Early in his freshman year, Heath met fellow DePauw student Rachel Waltz of Arcadia. After graduating from college, Heath returned to Worcester to begin a job with a pharmaceutical manufacturer selling products on the road. On Dec. 7, 1941, Health heard the news of the Pearl Harbor bombing from his minister. “The next day I quit my job and joined the U.S. Army,” he said. “I didn’t even know where Pearl Harbor was.” Heath graduated from Officer Candidate School in August 1942. His father officiated the service when he married Waltz on Sept. 5, 1942 in Watertown, N.Y. The couple was married for 68 years before she died on Oct. 28, 2010. Heath served as a 2nd Lt. in the 35th Tank Battalion in the Fourth Armored Division. While in Bastogne, Belgium, Heath was struck by a shell when he checked on the health of his tank driver outside the vehicle. His injury occurred on Dec. 27, 1944 – the last day of the Battle of the Bulge. “The shell went under my knee. It picked me up and threw me 20 feet,” he said. After spending two months in the hospital,

Heath returned to his battalion and remained in Europe after the war as part of the army of occupation. He was overseas for 21 months and awarded nine medals for his service, including a Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts and the WWII Victory Medal.

Starting a new home

After the war, Heath and his wife spent a month with his parents in Boston and then a month with hers in Arcadia. “Burt Cresson was looking for a young man to teach insurance,” Heath said of his start in Noblesville. After a fatal heart attack just two years into business together, Heath partnered with Cresson’s widow to split Cresson and Heath Insurance Agency. He ran the business for 43 years. Heath and his wife settled down at 1811 Conner St., where the two lived for 63 years and raised their three children. “When I came to Noblesville in 1946, I’d walk around the square and everyone knows everyone. A person would stop me and ask me who I was. They didn’t want to know your name but your connection to Noblesville,” he said. The city was quite different then as the popu-

Rachel Waltz and Irving Heath were married Sept. 5, 1942, in Watertown, N.Y. The couple was together for 68 years before She died in 2010. They also lived in the same house on Conner Street the entire time they were married. (Submitted photo)

Heath was one of the original organizers of the Noblesville Boys & Girls Club and served on the board of directors for 40 years. Shortly after getting established in the city, Heath said he was approached by the mayor to serve on a committee to fund a youth group. Heath said the first prospect was the YMCA but the organization leaders said it would cost $200,000 to construct a new facility. “In 1948, $200,000 was $2 million today,” he said, adding the Boys Club leaders surprised the committee with its simplicity. “They said, ‘You’ve already got a board of directors and just need to find a building or old home and you’ve got a Boys Club started.’” After Firestone assisted with the fundraising, the committee raised $48,000 and began work on the new club on the third floor above Kirk’s Hardware store in downtown Noblesville. Heath said the club spent $20,000 remodeling the building and $10,000 for equipment and plumbing. “In 1952 we had 1,000 members walking up and down to the third floor,” he said. The club remained there for 18 years before moving to the old high school on Conner Street.

Impacting others

Noblesville First United Methodist Church member Julia Kozicki said she’s known Heath most of her life. “He has been a stalwart supporter of our church, our schools and the children in the community,” she said. “He has just done everything for Noblesville. Truly he is an architect of Noblesville. We will miss him greatly but are awful lucky to have known him.” Heath also was involved with helping Noblesville First United Methodist Church move to its current spot. Previously it was at Clinton and North 10th streets. “We bought it and tore it down,” he said, adding the congregation sold the previous building’s bricks to help pay for the new one on East Monument Street. Common Council President Mark Boice said when he was working on his Eagle Scout project as a boy, it was Heath who assisted him in financing the project. “I talked with Irv before I became the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce president and he gave me my first donation when I ran for common council,” Boice said. “He’s done a ton of really good things to shape this community into a really good place. I’m sure there are a handful of people throughout the city like me that he’s helped back in some way or another.”

Kicking kneefat to the curb

FROM THE BACKSHOP The few, proud … the voters And so another primary election has come and gone, with much discussion in the aftermath about low voter turnout. What has been missing from the discourse, though, has been examination. We can’t for any reason understand why Hamilton County voters stayed away from the polls – in droves, as they say. In our county, a paltry 12.1 percent of registered voters turned out to try to make a difference for their communities and our state and nation. To be so disconnected from the opportunity to reward or deny those seeking office is pure abdication if you believe the national polls. We’re told millenials, especially, were no-shows. To that group we would say, “People, this is your future. Are you satisfied with $17.5 trillion in national debt? Are you happy to have the state run (perhaps into the ground financially) a mass transit system? Your future! Your dime, your dance floor.” The sweeping back in of incumbents nationally was similarly troubling to us, especially on the Republican side of the aisle, where all the ineffective lapdogs seemingly have been rewarded with another term. The two-party system, as it exists today, wins with a low voter turnout. By not participating, we play into the establishment’s hands, and that’s why nothing ever changes. But is this what our home county looks like now? We don’t understand how any race in last Tuesday’s polling could be considered “not sexy enough” to bring out the vote. Every single race mattered. It’s about you, your community, your state, your nation and (ta-da!) your wallet. If you truly want change, then you will have voted in the primary, because that is the election that more often than not determines whether incumbents stay or go. The question becomes, then: Do you really want change? Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

A success story

Commentary by Terry Anker

We humans are a collaborative lot. In spite of the occasional primitive provincial urges, we manage to work together in advancing our mutual interests with some regularity. It is on full display when the six distinct chambers of commerce in Hamilton County come together for the immensely popular Hamilton County Chambers Collaborative Luncheon. The chambers deploy their collective power to recruit top-shelf national speakers to address a crowd well north of 500 people. It makes good sense. By identifying common interests and challenges, these business and community leaders accomplish so very much more than might be attainable if isolated. Speaking to the packed house at the Ritz Charles, Patricia Martin, author of RenGen: Tipping the Culture, shared her extensive research on intergenerational interaction and even more specifically on the unique attributes of the socalled Millennial Generation. She warned of predilections that the Baby-Boom and Gen X folks might carry for this new crowd of Americans that insinuate an entitled – if not outright lazy –

approach to work and community involvement. Sure, there are distinct differences regarding the application of one’s work ethic, but research shows these kids care a ton about success. In fact, it measures as the top objective of a life well lived. Being safe and free from crime was a distant second; and education followed closely as number three. Success is a vexing term at any age. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the nuanced meaning of its attainment must most assuredly elude those who have the minimum seniority on the planet. So only in time will this word find its meaning for these young folks. But one can be bolstered by the priority placed on productivity. Won’t its mere pursuit, whether in building empires or homeless shelters, be to the benefit of us all? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.”

– Pablo Picasso

The first time I wore shorts this year I made a horrifying discovery. At some point between last November and now, I achumor quired knee fat. KNEE FAT! I ask you, good people of central Indiana, how does one even develop cellulite at the knee? And no, it’s not actually on the cap or anything, but right above, meaning everything from the hip area and upper thigh region conspired against me to slide down towards my most needed of all joints. How could this have happened? Do I gain weight in the chest area? No, of course, not. That would be too convenient. Do I gain it in the stomach, where I could smoosh it all in with control-top undergarments? No again. All of my extra lard settles in the third quartile, so unless I’m committed to Bermudas or Capris, the whole world is gonna see it. My pasty, white skin isn’t helping either; it’s like I’ve highlighted all the dimples with a halogen spot. But I digress. The point of all of this is that I am now highly motivated to seriously get back into to shape. Sure I fooled myself into thinking doing one 30-minute Insanity workout a week could keep this 40-plus old body in top form, but I’ve always known it wasn’t enough. Even the push-ups I’ve added in to meet my New Year’s Resolution of kick-ass arms aren’t doing much. My solution? A triathlon! Not an Ironman or Olympic or even a Sprint, but a 400-meter swim, 12-mile bike, and 5K jog for babies. It’s scheduled for the first weekend in August, giving me about three months to prepare. And now that I’ve announced it to you, my adoring public, I am fully vested. Admittedly, I am nervous. I’ve never done anything like this before. I can run and bike and swim, just not all that well and definitely not consecutively for the sixty to ninety minutes it’ll take to survive. I’m also concerned about training. I have a 10-year old mountain bike with sketchy handle bars, no pool, and very little free time. But I’ll figure it out. I cannot go through summer with this extra poundage on my lower thighs, and I want to model healthy living for my kids. Besides, according to a schedule I downloaded from the Internet (where everything is true and trustworthy!), I really only need about two hours a week to fit in each of the three disciplines. A little freestyle here, a little cycling there, eat some carbs, drink some water. How hard can it possibly be? So goodbye, knee fat! You must find somewhere else to reside. This momma’s wearing shorts come summer. Peace out.

Van Derbur speech was inspiring Commentary by Toby Stark

When we invited former Miss America, author and incest survivor Marilyn Van Derbur to be the keynote speaker at our opinion 2014 Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast, we knew she would be outstanding. But we didn’t realize she would be OUTSTANDING. Marilyn shared her story of sexual abuse at the hands of her father and her journey of healing. She offered a message of empowerment and hope. Her words educated the uneducated and unaware, and they validated those who are far too aware of this epidemic. During her 50-minute speech to the crowd of nearly 300 people, Marilyn invited survivors of child sexual abuse to stand. She does this because she believes this action helps a survivor shed their shame and their fear; that it empowers them to continue their journey of healing. Or begin that journey. She asked the audience, How can we expect our children to tell when we as adults don’t tell? She told that crowd that we need to stand to show children and adult survivors that they are not alone, and that they have nothing to be ashamed of. She also told everyone in the packed room that there was no right or wrong response. It was OK if a survivor chose not to stand or didn’t feel strong enough to stand. It was a powerful invitation.

Some people had heard Marilyn before and at that time couldn’t stand. They came to the Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast to stand. Many stood for the first time. Many stood with co-workers and friends. Many stood before they had even told their families about their abuse. Lives were changed that day. Conversations were started that day. Conversations between co-workers, friends and family members. Lives were changed that day. “I am now going to start on my journey to healing from my abuse as a child and young adult.” “I’m ready to get on with my life…” “…I had never publicly announced that I was a victim of child abuse. …After listening to Marilyn Van Derbur, the one thing I didn’t feel was alone. When she asked survivors to stand, I knew it was OK. I hope now that I can share this with my family. …Every journey starts with a single step.” “I stood proud with no shame for myself and all the children who suffer sexual abuse. We need to help them be able to tell so they know they are not alone and have done nothing wrong and didn’t deserve any abuse.” Toby Stark is executive director of Chaucie’s Place, a nonprofit child advocacy organization that prevents child sexual abuse and youth suicide with prevention programs

‘Sleeping Beauty’ brings tutus and princesses to the Tarkington By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Princess Aurora will be played by dancer Erika Cole, left, and Nicole Retzlaff will play a lilac fairy in the Central Indiana Dance Ensemble’s presentation of “The Sleeping Beauty.” (Submitted photo)

“The Sleeping Beauty” • Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing arts in Carmel • 2 and 7:30 p.m., May 17 • Tickets start at $23 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble will stage the familiar tale of “The Sleeping Beauty” at the Tarkington Theatre on May 17, and the cast believes it should appeal to a wide audience. “It’s a princess story, so of course you’ll get the little girls, but it’s also a very technically proficient ballet so it’s great for those who really know ballet,” Ballet said Erika Cole, who plays Princess Aurora. It’s one of the most well-known fairy tales, but the ballet version varies slightly from Disney’s animated film. There’s no Maleficent, the evil villain created for the 1959 film. The original tale was turned into a ballet in Russia in 1890 and features the evil fairy godmother Carabosse who casts a spell on the princess because she is jealous that she isn’t invited to her christening. As a result, Princess Aurora will prick her finger on her 16th birthday and fall into a timeless sleep until a handsome prince wakes her with a kiss. Artistic Director Suzanne Delay carefully picked costumes and dance movements to portray the forces of good versus evil in this production. “The good fairies, the lilac fairies, are in all beautiful, colorful tutus with sparkles and soft movements and beautiful lighting, but the Carabosse character, the evil fairy, is in black and has evil dancers with him with heavier music that is more ominous,” she said. Delay conducted open auditions to fill out the cast of more than 80 dancers. The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble has a company of about 50 dancers ages 8 to 18, so plenty of new faces were added for this production. Three professional guest performers were brought in for the show. Cole, who plays Aurora, will be dancing with Grant Dettling, who plays the prince. Both Cole and Dettling danced together for the Dayton Ballet company for about eight years, so they have chemistry. Cole recently retired from the company and moved to Carmel. Professional dancer Steven Wright plays Carabosse. Cole said she hopes that families will come see a beautiful interpretation of a classic fairy tale. “People enjoy seeing a different version of the story without words,” she said, “And it’s a ballet with a happy ending.”

Tale of wayward daughter at IMA

By Amanda Foust • editorial@youarecurrent.com

A local ballet company wants people to welcome the onset of spring with a tale of young love. Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, the Ballet founding artistic director of the Indiana Ballet Conservatory in Carmel, said that the group’s upcoming performance of “La Fille mal Gardée” at the Indianapolis Museum of Art will be a charming and lively tale. “The ballet is filled with colorful costumes and sets, beautiful dancing and a storyline that takes you on a countryside journey filled with so much whimsy, humor, and joy,” she said of the play whose title translates to “The Wayward Daughter.” The story is about a girl named Lise who falls in love with a young farmer, Colas. Marriage is not an option because Lise’s mother has arranged a marriage for Lise to a dim-witted rich man named Nicez. “The story of the ballet is the process of Lise and Colas falling in love and how they work through the process. It is very comical, light, and funny,” said Courtney Nesser, a senior at Indiana Cyber Charter School who plays the character of Lise. And Nesser said she has experienced a lot of growth through the variety of emotions her character experiences. “Even though this ballet was made many

years ago and is an old story, the principles you can take away from the story line you can still apply to life today,” she said. “It is very interesting to see the difference between marrying for money versus marrying for love and how Lise decides between the two.” Yakovleva-Randall has enjoyed her role in the ballet as well and said she takes the individual growth of her students seriously. “The reason we take on these huge challenges is to equip our pre-professional dancers with the experience of producing full-length ballets,” she said. Nesser had been taught by Yakovleva-Randall for almost 10 years of her dancing career and has plans to further her growth at Butler University in the fall. Her plans include pursuing a bachelor’s degree in dance performance and taking classes within the exercise science curriculum. “Her heart is as big as her beautiful smile, and I know she will do great things,” Yakovleva-Randall said of Nesser. “Come join us by being swept away to another time and place where we can watch young love unfold with an undercurrent of giggles and celebration of the glorious spring we’ve been awaiting.” “La Fille mal Gardée” • Toby Theatre in the Indianapolis Museum of Art • 4000 Michigan Rd. in Indianapolis • 2 and 7 p.m. May 17 • Tickets start at $15 • For more information visit www.

Active versus passive management Commentary by Adam Cmejla

If you have money in the market, specifically in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, you may be wondering: Should I use index or Finance actively-managed investments? While everyone’s situation is different, let’s take a look at the difference between active and passive management. The first concept to understand about active management is that there are two broad-level ways to manage investments and they involve fundamental and technical analysis of the market and investments. Fundamental analysts consider such things as the past records of assets, earnings, sales, products, management and markets of a company in order to try to predict a company’s future success or failure. This would include analyzing the financial results of business decisions made by management. Technical analysis, on the other hand, is concerned with analyzing the price movement patterns of a company’s securities. Technical analysts use charts or computer programs to identify and project price trends in a market, security, fund or futures contract. They are attempting to predict future price movements based upon past price movements, and the underlying fundamentals are not important or taken into consideration. In summary, fundamentalists try to assess the “true” value of a stock, assuming that the market price will eventually adjust to the intrinsic or true

value, while technicians try to predict the price movements of the stock and don’t care about why the price will move. What is interesting about both of these measures is that they are both trying to predict the future movements of the markets based on current data. The equivalent is also true of a weather forecaster: using current and past data, they are trying to predict the weather tomorrow, this weekend and next week. Moreover, they are also trying to “one up” the next station. I have seen the 10-day forecast be “oneupped” by the 14-day forecast, and I have even seen forecasters put out 21-day reports. In the end, though, it’s better served for investors if they have the “proper equipment” for whatever the weather brings: umbrella, sunscreen, a sweatshirt, a pair of shorts and a windbreaker. The equivalent in portfolio management is to ensure that you have a well-diversified and allocated portfolio, ready to capitalize on most any market situation and circumstance. But it’s important to note, though, that asset allocation and diversification does not guarantee there won’t be any losses. Just remember to control the factors that you can control: fees and expenses. Let the markets do the rest.

Three beaten-down stocks to consider - If you don’t have time to shop around, here are three of the market’s top stocks to buy: 1) iRobot (IRBT) landed another multi-million-dollar contract with the U.S. Dept. of Defense to supply robotics and parts to the military. But IRBT shares have fallen 25 percent since their early March peak. Shareholders made a big mistake by selling. iRobot has managed to grow its top line in four of the past five years, and has turned a profit in all five of them. 2) Waste Management (WM) pays dividends – and increases them – like clockwork. And investors who wade into Waste Management now will find the yields on their investment in WM stock are a little sweeter thanks to a 13 percent tumble the stock took between November and March. Although shares of WM stock have advanced about 8 percent from those March lows, the yield is still an attractive 3.4 percent. 3) Brunswick (BC) managed to top estimates in every quarter of 2011, 2012 and 2013, the recreation products company - maker of fitness equipment and Boston Whaler boats, among other things - merely met estimates in the first quarter. As a result, BC shares sold off to the tune of 2.5 percent following the news, topping off what’s now become a 15 percent plunge from March’s highs. In the long run, Brunswick is still the same company that has had a multi-year habit of topping estimates and growing the bottom line. SOURCE: MSN Money

Revisit and revise your goals By Kathleen Connelly

How can this be? Four months have already passed in 2014. Are you like most people and you made some New Year’s resoluFitness tions? Now that you have settled into the year, have some or all of those resolutions gone back into the drawer to be pulled out again next year? There is still a way to plan for, take action towards and achieve those goals! The first thing to do is prioritize. Take a look back at the resolutions you made and pick the one that is most important to you right now. Okay, now that you have figured that out, take that resolution and make it more specific. For example, if the goal is to lose weight, break it down into how much weight you are going to lose – or if the goal is to improve nutrition, what foods do you want to introduce into your diet? The more specific and realistic a goal is the more easily you can pick out the appropriate action steps. Next is to take your specific goal and turn it into action steps. What specific actions are you going to do to start moving towards this goal? For example, losing 10 pounds turns into walking for 30 minutes every other day and eating breakfast every day. Improving nutrition turns into eating one serving of fruit at breakfast and eating one serving of vegetables at lunch and dinner. I believe in focusing on the positive instead of focusing on what you are giving up. Yes, “Posting our job opening in Current was a tremendous success. Within hours of the issue being distributed, we had numerous inquiries from very qualified individuals. We signed up to have our ad run for two weeks, but was able to settle for one since we found the perfect person to fill our position so quickly.

certain aspects of your life will need to change for these action steps to occur, but nothing is off the table completely if you know that it is always your choice. Lastly, decide when you are going to start your action steps and prepare accordingly. If eating fruit at breakfast is an action, make sure you have it in the fridge for each morning. On the days you are going to walk, set out your clothes and shoes in a convenient spot. Action is more easily done if we prepare ourselves, plan for it and create the environment that will make our actions successful. Your resolutions don’t have to be made year after year and never realized. Make them realistic for your life, make them something you feel positive about, turn them into specific action steps, prepare for those action steps and then go for it! Kathleen M.

Michelangelo’s Marble Miracles Commentary by Don Knebel

In 1501, the overseers of Florence, Italy’s recently-completed Duomo gave a 26-year-old sculptor an already chiseled abantravel doned block of Carrara marble to see what he could make of it. What the young Michelangelo made was David, probably the most famous statue in history. The overseers had hoped Michelangelo, already known for his Pieta in Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, could use the discarded – but still valuable – marble to create a prosaic statue to fit into a niche near the roofline of their domed cathedral. Michelangelo had grander ideas. He worked more than two years in his Florence studio releasing his classic image of David from the marble. When completed in 1504, David was more than 17 feet tall and weighed 12,000 pounds, making the intended location high above the ground impractical. More important, the citizens of Florence saw in the heroic figure of David a reflection of their own resistance to domination from Rome and the Medici’s and wanted the statue to be seen. They positioned David just outside city hall, his watchful gaze directed toward Rome. The statue quickly became the symbol of the Florentine Republic and its leading role in the Italian Renaissance. The sinewy David demonstrated Michelangelo’s extraordinary knowledge of human anatomy, garnered from corpses he dissected when only 18. But the anatomical correctness was too much for Queen Victoria, who received a replica of the statute as a gift from the Duke of Tuscany in 1857. She ordered that an 18-inch wide plaster fig leaf be hung strategically on hooks when she and other royal ladies visited the museum where David was displayed. After braving the elements for 369 years, Michelangelo’s masterpiece was moved into Florence’s Galeria dell’Accademia for protection and its position outside city hall taken up by a replica. Visitors to the Accademia can also see Michelangelo’s four “Unfinished Slaves,” in which incomplete figures seem to be straining to emerge from the surrounding marble. Whether Michelangelo abandoned these works or intentionally left them unfinished to show the struggles of human

Weary and wary

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Are you familiar with the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon? Also known as the Grammar guy frequency illusion, Baader-Meinhof is a cognitive bias in which a piece of information that’s recently come to your attention (i.e. a word, a phrase, a fact) suddenly seems to appear “with improbable frequency.” If I may coin a phrase, a particular grammar error has been Baader-Meinhoffing me all week – the mix-up of “weary” and “wary.” Although I suppose they sound a bit alike, their meanings really aren’t close to one another. Hopefully we’ll be able to quickly clear up any confusion over them. To be “weary” is to be “lacking strength, energy or freshness.” It can also mean to be bored or annoyed, or to have your tolerance or patience exhausted. At the end of a marathon you’re likely

to be weary, and you can grow weary of a fourhour lecture as well. You might grow weary of disciplining a troublesome employee and finally just fire them. To be “wary” is to be cautious or suspicious of someone or something. If you go camping in the woods, you should be wary of ticks. If an investment offer seems too good to be true, be wary: It probably is. There’s not much more to say on this one. While I see how an overzealous spell-check program might lead to a mix-up, “weary” and “wary” simply don’t mean the same thing and should not be confused for one another. Feel free to use “Baader-Meinhoffing” whenever you like, though.

An outdoor retreat designed for year-round entertainment

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

ORIGINAL DECK/PATIO: This home, located in the Village of West Clay in West Carmel, was built in 2004. The homeblueprint for owners’ vision was to improvement create an outdoor space that could be enjoyed year-round: “We moved in during the peak of the summer and spent a lot of time at local pools. We decided to add a pool of our own and do something about the deck.” While the pool builder focused on the pool, the owners realized they needed some assistance creating a complete master plan of the backyard. After looking at several 3D designs of the entire backyard, they decided to design an open covered porch which would connect the indoors with the pool area. EXTERIOR FINISH: The original deck was removed and a new stamped concrete patio with steps was installed. Structural beams and 6x6 structural columns were installed to support the new roof. To give the porch a cohesive look with the rest of the house, all of the cedar trim was painted to match the existing trim and matching shingles were installed. Trex composite railing in a black color was installed around the perimeter of the porch and on the small staircase leading into the home. UPGRADED FEATURES: In order to deliver on the homeowners’ vision, several upgrades were incorporated into the final design. An outdoor

RESULT: The owners were pleased they took the time to connect the pool area to the home by creating the new open-air entertainment area. The project exceeded their goal of creating the ideal spot for relaxation and entertainment for their family and friends.

kitchen was added with a built-in gas grill, mini fridge, storage cabinets and a limestone countertop. Infrared heaters were also installed in the ceiling directly above the dining area to keep guests comfortable throughout all seasons. The final touch includes a relaxing seating area just off the kitchenette with a perfect view of the wall-mounted flat screen television.
