Basketball coach issues apology By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com When the Noblesville Millers lost to Brownsburg 53-41 on Jan. 31, head coach Dave McCollough was not in attendance. Assistant Coach sports Rich Conley filled in for McCollough at the administration’s request. A Feb. 1 press conference was announced on Jan. 31; however, McCollough was ill and unable to make it, so it was canceled. In a statement released to the media, McCollough said, “An incident occurred at basketball practice earlier this week in which, out of frustration during a drill, I threw a basketball and the ball hit a player. My actions were unacceptable and I greatly regret that I allowed this to happen. I am sorry and publicly apologize to my players, families and fans. This is not the behavior that I want to model for my players and it will not happen again.” District Spokeswoman Sharon Trisler said the high school’s administration investigated the report. “This is a personnel matter and no further information will be released by the athletic department, the high school or Noblesville Schools,” she stated. When asked when McCollough will return to the sidelines, Trisler declined to comment, stating this

was a personnel issue and she could not respond. McCollough also was absent for the Feb. 1 game against Muncie Central. McCollough is in his 19th season as NHS head coach and has 18 winning seasons. He earned his 300th win at Noblesville when the Millers defeated the McCutcheon Mavericks 47-44 on Jan. 11. That victory made McCollough’s record at Noblesville at 300135 and 457-230 for his 31-year career.

DVD Review In many ways, “All Is Lost” is 2013’s companion film to “Gravity,” though far fewer people saw it. Robert Redford stars as Our Man, an unnamed lone seafarer aboard a high-class sailboat. Like Sandra Bullock did in space, he faces an existential crisis when his vessel is fatally damaged, and he spends the rest of the movie trying valiantly – though without much hope – to survive.

Local startup beginning to blossom By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com A Hamilton County Internet startup company is hoping customers forgo the hassle of finding a Valentine’s Day bouquet at their local florist and instead look for a more modern business idea – a live, blooming plant that can be ordered online and delivered to their door. “The goal is to bring the floral industry into the 21st century,” said Robb Greene, founder of epottingshed.com. Greene’s family has operated a floral company in Noblesville since 1987. Operating out of the green Victorian carriage house next to Noblesville’s City Hall, Greene has just expanded on the family tradition. Greene started the company a year ago using bare-root plants shipped in weekly from select growers around the country. From there, he pots them in organic soil with decorative pots and bundles them in a unique form of packaging that has never failed to protect the live, blooming plants inside. “We tell people that we encourage them to ship (the plants) to a business location,” Greene said, so the plant isn’t exposed to temperatures outside the company’s control. The company’s most popular selections are a unique and fragrant form of lavender and ornamental oregano plants that are popular with craft brewing people because they’re hardy to

Greene estimates that about 60 percent of his customers are in central Indiana. Greene said he expects the business to grow once he undertakes a new social media advertising campaign. He’s also considering utilizing Pinterest and online video to capitalize on his product’s visual appeal before he even considers moving out of the family business location. “We kind of want to show that we’re doing it better than anyone else before we think about a bricks-and-mortar location,” he said.

State of transition By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

As 2013 came to an end, several downtown Noblesville business owners faced a tough decision on the fate of their stores. Some are closing for personal reasons, and others Cover Story are starting because of opportunities presented. Regardless of the reason, the look of the town square may soon change.

The Wild Bookstore has had two owners in its eight-year history and is now looking for its third. If a buyer of the bookstore is not found, owner Debbie Marinaro will close the downtown shop.

For sale

Hamilton County may lose its only independent bookstore as The Wild, 884 Logan St., will be sold or have its doors closed by March. “March 27 is the date. My lease is up May 1,” owner Debbie Marinaro, 58, said. “I have a two-year lease and I wasn’t going to wait for another two years.” Marinaro said she and her husband, Michael, have become first-time grandparents. “We need a little more flexibility than the Marinaro store could provide for us,” she said. “I need to be at the store full time or not any more. At this age and stage, it’s time for us to let someone else take the reins.” Marinaro said she wants the store to remain open. “It’s an icon of downtown Noblesville,” she said. “I’m still passionate (about it) and still love it.” Marinaro purchased The Wild four years ago from Jane Mills, who had operated it for four-and-a-half years. Marinaro said her love for children, books and literacy were the main reasons she bought the store. “A lot of things came together. At the time I was losing my job in Title 1 in Noblesville Schools and my husband and I were becoming empty nesters,” she said. “Teaching kids to read, to love to read and to want to read were the underlying principals of why we did it.” In addition to hundreds of children’s books, The Wild has always welcomed and sold local authors and books. “It’s really important that there be a place because it’s a tough business to break into,” Marinaro said. Marinaro declined to publicly comment on the amount she wants for the business but anyone interested in The Wild may contact her at 773-0920. “As the for sale signs went into the window, the outcry from customers and the community over the possible closing of the store has been tremendous. I have had customers in denial, disappointment and tears,” Marinaro said.

Several downtown shops are changing owners or closing

Lynne Goodman co-owns At Home with Us with Kathy Blake and Jenna Rowe. The home decor shop, formerly known as At Home with Valerie, was scheduled to close on Dec. 27 before the three ladies purchased it.

Opening

A new home décor store was saved after Lynne Goodman, Kathy Blake and Jenna Rowe purchased At Home with Valerie and renamed the shop At Home with Us. The store opened on Aug. 15 but due to personal health reasons owner Valerie Nicholson had to sell or close the shop by Dec. 27. “We all had booths there,” Goodman said. “We just did not want to see the shop close. We were determined to keep it open. All of the vendors were right behind us to keep it open and make a go of it.” Goodman said the three ladies decided to purchase the store at 982 Logan St. 72 hours after hearing Nicholson tell vendors about the closing on Oct. 30.

Closing

Michael Delk, 43, opened The Faux Flower and Gift Shop, 84 S. Ninth St., in October 2006. After closely monitoring his bank books, Delk has decided to close his business after more than seven years. “I was using a lot of red pen. It just wasn’t working,” he said. “I never had any record sales in any year.” After deciding to close, Delk consolidated his two spaces into one in January. He plans to keep the store open until the end of the month. “If it all sells within one week I won’t be here anymore,” he said. “At what point do you just box it up and head to Goodwill?” What will he do next? Delk said his future is unknown. “I have no clue – absolutely none,” he said, “but I’m not retiring.” With the loss of Faux Flower, the city also loses a little nostalgia during the holiday season. Delk said it takes 60 hours of work to step back to yesteryear, when elaborate window decorations were more common, to attract shoppers better than Black Friday deals do. “It’s all in storage,” he said. “Maybe someday they’ll make an appearance.” What began with two windows expanded to 10 displays along

“We said, ‘If we are going to do it, let’s do it,’” she said. “We were three people who never knew each other.” Goodman said At Home with Us is not a flea market or antique shop, but a place to find home décor. “If it’s home décor related you’re going to find it here – from toothpick holders to original oil paintings. With three levels there’s a wide variety that appeals to anybody,” she said. “We liked the concept. We really don’t want to change it a lot.” At Home with Us is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The store can be contacted at 776-4100. “We may open on Sunday and Monday at some point, especially when the restaurant opens,” Goodman said, citing The ‘Ville, a restaurant next door in the former Eddie’s Corner Café spot.

Michael Delk isn’t sure what he will do next, but he certainly isn’t retiring he said. After almost seven and a half years, the Faux Flower is closing its door by the end of the month.

Ninth Street and all included animated David Hamberger designs – a throwback to Delk’s childhood. “The Muncie Mall had displays like this I remember as a kid in the early ’70s,” he said. “It’s a way of sending a Christmas card to the city. In the very beginning I did it as a way to say ‘thank you.’” Currently sitting empty at 50 N. Ninth St. is the former building of Martha Jane’s. Owner Anne Millikan, who was ready to retire after 25 years, opened the downtown Noblesville location six years ago and closed it prior to the New Year.

FR O M   T H E BACKSHOP

FR O M   T H E EDITOR Mistake was just that

We all know that this ugly winter weather presents us with potholes on our thoroughfares. The Noblesville Street Dept. tells us it monitors roads daily, but it also acknowledges it can’t catch everything all the time. It is for that reason that we urge you to help yourself and the rest of us by reporting potholes at the first opportunity. For the fire-breathing, tire-beating devils you find on city streets, call 776.6348. Repairs will be made. For Ind. 19, Ind. 32, Ind. 37 and Ind. 38, INDOT would appreciate a call at 462.7751. The tire you save very well may be your own. We speak from experience here. A pothole ate the left-front tire and, sadly, the wheel, too, on one of our cars. We didn’t see it until the last second, and the choice was to swerve and endanger others or grit teeth and try to reduce speed. We went with the latter. Final tally for that decision (the right one): $648. That’s a good enough reason enough to act on your own behalf and that of others. ••• It’s a small one, but here’s another reason why your tax dollars will be at peril with an investment in mass transit. The communications folks at IndyGo warned folks in a press release last week that, in the event of snow, we should allow for extra travel time to and from our destination; plan for delays due to icy streets, heavy snowfall and traffic congestion; watch our footing as snow and ice can make sidewalks, steps and bus floors slippery; hold onto the railing when boarding and alighting; and dress warmly for potentially longer wait times at bus stops. Wow. You can’t make up this stuff. ••• In observance of Presidents’ Day on Feb. 17, the United States Postal Service will be closed. That means delivery of your edition of Current will be delayed one day to Feb. 19.

The problem with living in the same community you cover – especially after a long time – is that occasionally I have to report on matters I wish I didn’t. Such an incident recently occurred with Noblesville High School boys’ basketball coach Dave McCollough (for more details see Page 3). To be fair, I have known McCollough since my freshman year at NHS. He was my physical education teacher in 1995-96. I was involved with the NHS basketball programs my sophomore, junior and senior years as a game filmer, student trainer and fan. I’ve traveled with the teams, been in the locker rooms and stayed long after practices for years. After college, I covered McCollough and his teams for years, taking photos for a newspaper. Have I seen the coach get upset before? Yes. Have I seen him fired up during a timeout because a call was made or not made, or at a player who wasn’t doing what he had been taught or instructed to do? Absolutely. Have I ever seen him get physical before? No! Consulting a player or teaching a proper stance or shooting motion is the only thing I’ve observed. I’ve known McCollough to be an outstanding teacher, father and leader of boys to men – oh, and one helluva coach. Can you recall a Noblesville basketball player who ever got in trouble or embarrassed the school or program? You know they are afraid to embarrass their parents and coach. Unfortunately this mistake will give the same people who sent unanimous mailers last year more fuel. I take it at face value – a mistake made in the heat of practice. Did McCollough throw a chair at someone, strike a player or get in a teenager’s face and curse him up and down? His peers, former players and parents respect McCollough, and he has built a basketball program in the city. I don’t think he should get a pass, but let’s not forget everything he’s done in the wake of this mistake.

Failing infallibility

Commentary by Terry Anker

There are few things that frustrate us more than making mistakes, especially big mistakes. Not only do they point towards our own fallibility but they also remind us to slow down and pay attention to the details of what we do. To be sure, there is a distinction between culpability for one’s own actions and an unpreventable error resulting from circumstance. And, the space between the two is often difficult to measure. Yet, we know when we have failed through our own folly. Recently, I led the charge in insulting an important partner and embarrassing myself proving that I’m failing infallibility. Not as attentive as I should have been to the bulk of e-mail and other communications that shower us each day, I misinterpreted an important message and took action without confirming the veracity of my understanding. Ultimately, I ended up embarrassing the truly good person while at the same time making an ass of myself. Kudos for multitasking! By the time the error was discovered, harm

had been caused and the opportunity to fix the transgression had passed. Certainly, the victim of my actions was magnanimous and thoughtful (in a way that I’m not sure I would have been mature enough to be); but, the frustration over the error hangs with me. How many mistakes do we make that go unrecognized? How many opportunities do we miss to do the right thing? How many people are harmed in silence? Many of us glide through life with rare repercussion for our own error. We are insulated from failure either by previous success or by personal advantage. Yet so many, unsheltered by accumulated goodwill, live in peril of a single transgression. When we imagine ourselves to hardly stumble in a gaffe, is it more likely that we seldom are held to account for our actions? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

I was talking with some fellow working moms (WMs) the other night, and I heard a story that got me so fired up I’m writing a humor column about it. Read on and be appalled. WM was feeling guilty about not spending enough time with her children and decided to take a day off to simply play with her kids. They’d sleep in, go to Starbucks and “pretend” to work on laptops while they sipped coffee and hot chocolate, ate a fun lunch out, and then maybe saw a movie or went bowling. They’d talk, laugh, hug and create beautiful memories. More importantly, WM would assuage her guilt and all would be right in the world. But of course everyone was grumpy the morning of the much-anticipated Bonding Day, and no one really wanted to get dressed and go out. But, chillin’ at the coffee shop was on the schedule, so WM plowed ahead. An hour later, after her sugar-crazed rugrats had completely ignored multiple harshly whispered pleas to calm the frick down, she decided to cut her losses and pack up. Better luck at Stop No. 2. Here’s where it got interesting. Another patron, a woman mind you, had the nerve to criticize her parenting as she was leaving. To. Her. Face. I know! Instead of empathizing with a “Don’t worry about it, honey, we’ve all been there,” or even better, offering a “Can I help you?”

Ms. High-and-Mighty touted her Christian beliefs and suggested that maybe WM should have just stayed home. Can you believe that? I just want to punch her! WM ended her morning crying in the car and feeling even guiltier than before. Way to go, lady. We’ve all witnessed our kid meltdowns in a nice restaurant or the checkout aisle at Meijer, but who in her right mind actually says something when she sees the chaos unfolding? And I’m sure this woman thought she understood the situation perfectly, and that she was doing her good deed for the day, but all that hag managed was to ladle a huge helping of guilt on WM, who was already beyond frustrated and disappointed. Admittedly, I judge other moms all the time, but I would never express it out loud for two reasons: I’m the blackest pot on the stove and karma’s a (rhymes with itch). Listen, people: Being a mom is tough, and working moms constantly struggle to find a good balance between career and home. Please don’t add to the scales by dishing out unsolicited advice. Instead, try putting yourself in her position and remember how challenging parenting can be. A few kind words in solidarity can make all the difference, particularly to WMs. Peace out.

The Bahia Orchestra Project from Brazil has committed to playing Latin-American compositions in its repertoire. (submitted photo)

Brazil’s best orchestra to team with French pianist By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com As an example of what music can do for poor kids, Venezuela’s El Sistema has inspired many other musical education programs Music around the world with social purposes behind them. Its Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra brought to prominence conductor Gustavo Dudamel, now music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. One of the fruits of El Sistema’s success is NEOJIBA/the Bahia Orchestra Project, which sits atop a similar pyramid of musical training in the Brazilian state of Bahia. Conducted by its founder, pianist Ricardo Castro, the 100-member youth orchestra, established in 2007, will be near the end of a two-and-half-week North American tour when it appears at the Palladium. The Bahia Orchestra Project is already known in Europe, having played concerts in Berlin, Lucerne and London (where its featured guest artist was superstar pianist Lang Lang). For its Carmel appearance, it will welcome another well regarded, if not quite as famous, pianist as soloist - Jean-Yves Thibaudet. He’s a native of France now living and performing in the U.S.

French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet will be the guest soloist during the collaborative performance at the Palladium.

Thibaudet will be featured in Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major. That’s one of two piano showcases on the program. By special request of Center for the Performing Arts management, the Bahia ensemble will also play George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” with Castro as soloist. Center spokesman John Hughey said the request was made to highlight the location of the Feinstein Initiative and its Great American Songbook vocal competition at the Palladium,

and because Gershwin is considered among the greatest American songwriters. Other works on the Palladium program are Peter Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet FantasyOverture, two movements from Heitor VillaLobos’ “Bachianas Brasileira” No. 2 and Arturo Marquez’s “Danzon 2.” The latter two works — by Brazilian and Mexican composers, respectively — represent the Bahia Orchestra Project’s commitment to LatinAmerican repertoire. Bahia is a historically significant part of eastern Brazil, with geographical diversity crowned by a famous 685-mile coastline. It’s one of 26 Brazilian states and its largest city, Salvador, was established in 1599 and became the country’s historical capital. Two important cultural traditions of Brazil — the carnival and the samba — originated there. Bahia Orchestra Project • Brazilian youth orchestra, conducted by Ricardo Castro; with piano soloist Jean-Yves Thibaudet • 7:30 p.m. Feb. 13 • The Palladium in Carmel • Tickets start at $40. • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

PRESENTS

Romantic night remembers Gershwin By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com This time of year, we all struggle to come up with a mushy and endearing sentiment to add to the Valentine’s prose on the card Music Hallmark has already written for us. Often, we end up adding something devastatingly clever, like, “Love, me.” Don’t you wish you could come up with something like this? I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh … The world will pardon my mush ‘Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you. Nobody expresses love quite like George Gershwin and nothing could be more romantic than sitting and listening to a glorious evening of his music sung by the inimitable Michael Feinstein. Feinstein’s “Gershwins and Me” will be presented at the Palladium on Feb. 16. It will be an evening of songs and stories presented the way only Feinstein can. When he was 20, Feinstein was hired by George Gershwin’s brother, Ira, as an archivist. He wrote a book about those years entitled, “The Gershwins and Me; a Personal History in Twelve Songs.” Feinstein will sing songs from the Gershwin songbook interspersed with tales from the book. He also will share the stage with the winner of 2013’s Great American Songbook Competition, Julia Goodwin, who recently performed with him

at the legendary New York jazz club Birdland. “I have read Michael’s book and cannot wait to hear these stories in person,” said John Hughey, director of external relations for the Center for the Performing Arts. “It’s going to be a beautiful tribute to the Gershwins. We all adore Michael for his musical talents, but he’s an amazing writer and storyteller, too. No one other than Michael could share these stories. He lives and breathes American music and makes us proud of our history as he brings these songs to life.” Forget the chocolates. Take your Valentine to an evening he or she will remember forever. Feinstein’s “The Gershwins and Me” • 7 p.m. Feb. 16 • The Palladium in Carmel • Tickets start at $15. • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Tips to increase your metabolism Commentary by Karen Adkins

F E B R UA RY

22 Heart disease is the number one killer of women, but do you know why? You are invited to join Community Physician Network cardiologist Nanette Oscherwitz, MD, for a special seminar on women and heart health. Heart disease affects women differently than it does men, with signs and symptoms that go beyond typical chest pain. Don’t miss this chance to learn: • Risk factors for heart disease • Signs and symptoms of heart disease in women • How to manage stress for a healthier heart • How to exercise for a healthy heart • What heart screenings are available and are they right for you

Women and Heart disease doesn’t skip a HealtH generation. Saturday, February 22, 2014 9:30 to 10:00am Heart Healthy Cooking Demonstration, neitHer sHould Heart care. presented by Chef Yong Choi (Sample tasting and beverages provided)

Whether people are trying to lose weight or want to prevent weight gain, metabolism is usually part of the discusnutrition sion. The speed at which the body burns calories – called “metabolic rate” – is different for everyone and is based on a variety of factors, including age, gender and genetics. Patients often ask what they can do to boost their metabolic rate. Here are a few suggestions: Build muscle and stay active – The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate – even at rest. In fact, every pound of muscle burns six calories each day, while fat burns just two. Exercise, especially high-intensity aerobic exercise, can increase metabolism in the hours following a workout. Eat more often – Having small meals or snacks every three to four hours keeps your metabolism up and running. Drink water – Your body needs water to use calories, so even mild dehydration can slow metabolism. Drinking a glass of water or an unsweetened beverage before meals helps. Increase protein – It takes more calories to digest protein than to digest fat or carbohy-

drates. Although eating a balanced diet is important, choosing more servings of healthy proteins, such as turkey, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, white chicken meat, lean beef and tofu, can increase metabolism. Choose green tea – The combined benefits of caffeine and catechins in green or oolong tea can boost metabolism for a couple of hours and may help your body burn more calories during moderate exercise. Add some spice – Believe it or not, spicy foods have benefits when it comes to increasing metabolism. Although their effect is temporary, if you eat spicy foods often, the benefit could add up. Consider adding chopped red or green peppers or red pepper flakes to foods. Diet sensibly – Very low-calorie diets can stall metabolism. You may lose weight, but much of this is likely muscle, which will slow your metabolism in the long run. Plus, very low-calorie diets often mean you aren’t getting the nutrition you need for optimal health. Talk to your doctor about a diet plan that’s right for you.

Time to organize for tax season Commentary by Adam Cmejla I’m sure certified public accountants out there will appreciate this, but the more proactive you are in gathering your tax docufinance ments, the easier your return can be prepared and filed. For some, this can mean a faster refund. Those of us who will pay can rest assured that we can still wait to drop our check into the mail until April 15. Look back before looking forward One of the best things to do when preparing to file 2013 taxes is to look at your 2012 return and determine if there have been many changes. A CPA firm we work with even sends out a “tax prep worksheet” that has information from 2012’s return already populated. Chances are good that things haven’t changed too drastically for you from year to year, so this can help you remember which IRS forms, schedules and reporting documents to gather. What documents are needed? It’s a good idea to have a big envelope or file folder on your desk that you can drop documents into as they arrive in the mail. If you are not a small business owner or independent contractor, your list may be short: W-2(s), 1099-INT(s), perhaps 1099-DIV(s) or 1099-B(s), Form 1098 (mortgage), a 1098-E(s) if you have those wonder-

ful student loans, and Form 5498-SA if you have made HSA contributions (including employer contributions). If you are an independent contractor or freelancer, you will need your 1099-MISC(s). This is also when self-employed business owners should compile every bit of documentation related to business expenses: meals and entertainment, travel, office expenses, mileage, etc. Every dollar spent in the business has the potential to reduce your taxable income, thus your tax liability. Use this time to prepare for 2014 With the changes in the tax law that took effect in 2013, this year’s tax season has the potential to be more unpleasant than previous years for some. This is also a great time to sit with your advisor and plan a strategy for 2014. The phrase “asset location” is going to be ever more important in the current tax environment. Remember, being proactive is always more costefficient than being reactive when it pertains to your overall net worth.

In defense of ‘alright’

In a previous column, I wrote about how “alright” isn’t “all right.” Today, I thought we could visit some counterargugrammar guy ments. This is going to be fun. First, we’ll look at the history of “alright.” Our friend Merriam-Webster says it’s been around for a while. Dating its first known use to 1887, Webster says, “The one-word spelling alright appeared some 75 years after all right itself had reappeared from a 400-year-long absence. Since the early 20th century some critics have insisted alright is wrong, but it has its defenders and its users.” Webster goes on to say that despite its detractors, “alright” is frequently used in journalistic and fictional writing. (Note here: AP style says never to use “alright.”) How about the Oxford English Dictionary? You might be surprised to find the esteemed publication is even more lenient toward “alright.” The dictionary notes, “Similar ‘merged’ words such as altogether and already have been accepted in Standard English for a very long time, so there is no logical reason to object to the one-word form alright.” That’s an interesting argument – though one might counter it by pointing out that “all ready”

and “already” have two distinct meanings. Can the same be said for “all right” and “alright?” “All ready” means exactly what you would expect: wholly equipped or prepared. “Already,” on the other hand, is an adverb which signifies an action occurred “by or before a stated or implied time.” Now, do “all right” and “alright” have distinct meanings? Based upon examples I’ve found, and my own sense of how I would use it colloquially, I would have to say no. “All right” seems to be used in a literal sense – everything is completely fine – and “alright” seems to have developed as the more figurative form – everything is OK, but not great. I’ll finish today by saying I’m partial to “alright” when used colloquially. I think American speakers intuitively understand the difference between something being “all right” and being just “alright.” That being said, I’m not sure “alright” passes muster to be used in formal writing … which is too bad, because it’s really an all right word. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@gmail.com.

“All right” seems to be used in a literal sense – everything is completely fine – and “alright” seems to have developed as the more figurative form – everything is OK, but not great.

A Moroccan Versailles

for 6 1.9% 0 mo nths

Commentary by Don Knebel Meknes is one of Morocco’s former royal cities, along with the better known Fes, Marrakech and Rabat. Meknes is famous for buildTravel ings erected by a 17th-century ruler who fancied himself the equal of French King Louis XIV and holds a world record for virility. Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif, claiming to be a descendant of Muhammad, became the Sultan of Morocco in 1672. Ismail moved his capital from Fes to Meknes and set about erecting palaces and other buildings to match his image of Versailles. He reportedly used 25,000 slaves in his projects, many of them Europeans captured by Barbary pirates operating from Moroccan ports. Some of the building materials may have been plundered from Volubilis, a nearby city with buildings dating to Roman times. Ismail’s famous stable housed 12,000 horses under a single roof supported by stone arches. An enormous granary adjoining the stable stored grain at controlled temperatures to enable both the horses and the residents to survive a long siege. A wheel inside the granary pulled water from an underground stream. When construction at Meknes was complete, 15 miles of walls surrounded the city. Ismail, who led huge armies of soldiers from sub-Saharan Africa against his rivals, reportedly placed 10,000 skulls atop the walls to warn prospective attackers.

Stable at Meknes, Morocco (Photo by Don Knebel)

Because of his military successes and his buildings at Meknes, Moulay Ismail is considered one of Morocco’s greatest rulers despite (or perhaps because of) his reputation for ruthlessness. A 1755 earthquake destroyed many of the buildings in Meknes, and Ismail’s successors moved the Moroccan capital to Marrakech. The stable and granary have been partially restored and they, along with Ismail’s mausoleum, are open to visitors. Ismail’s record for fathering the most children of any man (at least 867) in history remains untouched. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

START THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT WITH 20% OFF ANY WELLNESS SERVICE OR YOGA PACKAGE NOW THROUGH FEB. 28, 2014. CALL 317.580.0101 TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR WELLNESS & YOGA OFFERINGS. TOP 5 BENEFITS OF YOGA Over the last few years, yoga has taken over pop culture. Everyone is doing yoga, talking about doing yoga, or fully implementing yoga in their daily lives. We have included yoga as part of our services in conjunction with the series of nutrition and wellness menu items. Here are our top five reasons why we believe yoga is good for everyone’s everyday life: 1. Yoga is for everyone – It’s meant to relax, rejuvenate, recharge, release, and refresh your inner connection to your body and mind. Allow yourself to appreciate the time you are giving to yourself and relax. It doesn’t happen as often as we need it. 2. Yoga teaches you to understand your body – The practice of yoga serves as a link to the acceptance of our body. One can learn physical, mental and emotional strengths. Learn to accept your body for what it is and connect with your needs. Let your body tell you what it needs to be worked on instead of the other way around. 3. Yoga serves as a great way to recover after workouts – Your body needs to release toxins after every workout and drinking a lot of water isn’t always enough. Yoga gives the body the opportunity to stretch out while building core strengths. Every stretch releases toxins which allows for more recovery time and less soreness the following days. 4. Yoga incorporates meditation – Giving yourself time to meditate, or just spend some peaceful moments in thought, helps with finding ways to love your present. We all live busy lives, which can translate into worrying about the things we don’t get done. Meditation or reflection lets you refocus and rejuvenate yourself while releasing the stress. 5. Yoga is for you – You get out what you want to get out of yoga. It serves as your time for YOU. Our Yoga sessions are Wednesdays at 7:30am and 6pm, call us at 317-580-0101 for more information.

A GUIDE TO THE PERFECT LASHES Choose the right shade - The best way to get great lashes is to start with the right shade of mascara. Black can work on anyone, but for fair-skinned individuals, and those with red hair, try a brown-black for a softer look. Add Heat - Blast your eyelash curler with your hair dryer before very carefully curling the lashes. Squeeze the eyelash curler for a couple seconds once in the middle of the lashes, and once near the tips. Enhance - For a more dramatic look, apply single, false lashes that come in tiny clumps. Using tweezers, dip the lashes in lash glue and place at the outer corner of your eyelid. Add Volume - A translucent powder at the ends of lashes gives mascara volume and stay-power. Using an eye shadow brush, sweep powder on the ends and tops of your lashes prior to applying your mascara. Apply - Start with the wand at the root of your lashes and wiggle the brush to your ends. Apply multiple coats for a bolder look, being careful not to let it dry between applications, in order to avoid clumping.

Take a look at indoors the following creative ideas that designers have come up with to make 2014 an exciting and innovative year. Kitchen • Floating shelves: Instead of storing their dishes away in cupboards and cabinetry, more homeowners are choosing to display them as part of the kitchen aesthetic. One way to do that is by using floating shelves, which are designed to be installed on a wall without showing any hardware or stabilizing brackets. • Black countertops: The sleek look of black granite or quartz countertops has wowed homeowners. Many are choosing to pair it with white or light-colored countertops, but the beauty of black is that it can complement virtually any design. • Brass, black and gold metals: In everything from faucets to cabinet fixtures, brass, black and brushed gold have become trendier than traditional silver. Bathroom • Standalone tubs: Because they take up less space than a traditional tiled-in-tub, many homeowners are choosing to install a freestanding tub. This also frees up space

to create a luxurious modern shower. Speaking of which … • Luxury showers: When it comes to relaxing and unwinding after a tough day, showers are becoming more popular than bathtubs. Look for spacious showers that don’t include a traditional bench seat. For information on these trends and more, visit the Affordable Companies’ Website for news, updates and photos of cutting-edge designs. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.
