Le Dolce Vita employees go unpaid By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com On the front door, a sign reads “For Rent.” On the back door, a smaller blue slip reads “Service Turned Off. Overdue bill of $4,216.76.” The blue slip is from Duke EnBusiness ergy, the company that provided power to the now-vacant café Le Dolce Vita at 10 S. Main St. Claims of unpaid bills, angry employees and bouncing checks have been lingering over the empty coffee tables inside for months. Now, former employees are speaking out and demanding answers. Hannah, who declined to give her last name, is a former employee of Le Dolce Vita and said, “The whole thing was just super sketchy.” Frustrations from the start Le Dolce Vita moved into its South Main Street location in June, taking over the space once occupied by Eagle Creek Coffee Company. “I had respect for [owner Kelly Evans] and she seemed really ambitious when we had the big opening in June,” said former employee Hillary, who also declined to give her last name. “But then checks started bouncing a month after we had been open.” In December, Evans stated that the café would be closed for the month of January in order to move locations and partner with sister company Union Baking Co. in Westfield. Current has received no response from Evans despite several attempts to reach her over the past two weeks. However, employees say Evans was never prepared to run the café, and likely will not reopen. “[Evans] was never around,” Hannah said. “And she really should have been, especially since it was such a big crossover.” Hannah said several employees’ paychecks bounced, leaving the untrained managers to deal with the multiple paycheck problems. She remembers one time when her bank told her it could not cash her check because of insufficient funds, which caused her to incur an $11 fee. It took several weeks for a manager at Le Dolce Vita to pay her, in cash, the money she was owed and reim-

burse her for the $11 fee. Former employee Sarah Salas worked at Eagle Creek Coffee Company and Le Dolce Vita. She stayed only until August and had an experience similar to Hannah’s. “I worked for Kelly briefly, but my last paycheck bounced,” Salas stated in an e-mail to “Current in Zionsville.” “I was able to collect the amount (I was) owed after badgering her about it for a couple of weeks. She paid me in cash, but I am unsure where the funds came from.” Hillary said Evans still owes her more than $500 from the hours she worked in December. “I tried to cash this one check four times and every time it kept bouncing, so I went to [Evan’s] bank to cash it and the tellers just looked at me with pity,” Hillary said. After discovering that Le Dolce Vita would be closed for the month of January (a fact that Hillary said Evans did not announce to the staff in person), Hillary tried to file for unemployment in Boone County. However, she was deemed ineligible because Evans had never claimed her as an employee during the more than seven months she had worked there. “At some point I just decided I cannot deal with this anymore,” Hillary said. She has since found a job at Starbucks. Future in jeopardy In a post dated Jan. 14, Evans stated on her Facebook page that running her business is “very personal.” “This shop and our customers are my life and my family,” Evans stated. “It means more than I could ever express and we are excited to continue in this town that has been so great to us.” Yet, employees question how and when Evans will be able to “continue” her business model, even after her proposed partnership with Union Baking Co. “I just don’t think Kelly realized how big a project it was going to be,” Hannah said. “She just didn’t have the funds.” “The worst thing that [Evans] has said to me in a text message was to go and cash the check even though she knows the check is bad,” Hillary said.

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 highclass 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.

After putting it under new management in December, the owners of Mia Nail Spa (formerly Zionsville Nails) hope to bring a fresh and friendly approach to their once-wannow open ing business. Naming the shop after their daughter, Mia, Brigitte Dan and her husband, Vince Hoang, are working hard to make customers feel at home. Dan, known as Von by friends, family and customers, strives to bring comfort and a relaxed atmosphere to customers at their new business. “I like it a lot better now that they have new management. It’s more relaxing, comfortable and professional, with good services and good prices. It’s a stress reliever,” said Dana Cochran-Wiley, a 10-year Zionsville resident who enjoys getting gel manicures and pedicures. “It’s just nice because they know your name,” she said. Amy Norris, a Zionsville Nails customer, said Von is “just wonderful.” “She takes the time to do a good job, knows your name and gives that simple personalization

that makes a big difference. The change and the décor are just wonderful,” Norris said. Norris also enjoys the gel manicure and said she likes that the new business does not use harsh, nail-depleting chemicals. These include acetone, which is not present in any of the products. Dan has big plans to continue renovating the business, including updating the nail and UV sanitation areas. She will bring in new pedicure chairs with high-tech, single-use liners for the tubs to increase sterilization and create an overall organized, comfortable atmosphere. The salon is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Mia Nail Spa is currently up and running, but Dan said she plans to have an exciting grand opening with snacks and refreshments in the next couple of weeks.

Students said that more than 170 ZWMS pupils live in Royal Run and have no way to walk or bike to school. The council agreed to consider the project during the annual budget meeting in June. • The council considered the proposal for a 10-year tax abatement on the property of Hat World, operating as Lids.

Pope tweets support for seniors Commentary by Jonathan Matthes

As a group, we Americans don’t like old people. But why? Some cultures practically adore the elderly. Many American Indian tribes religion look up to their elders. Likewise, some Eastern societies (that’s Asia) revere their elderly. Not here, though, not in the good-ol’ U. S. of A. Sure, we’ll applaud a Korean War vet on the Fourth of July; but if we get stuck behind him driving 15 mph under the speed limit on I-465, we shout something other than praise. I’m sure Aunt Ethel is sweet and a lovely lady, but God help me if she spends another 20 seconds trying to find that missing nickel in her coin purse. She’s just going to write a check anyway! During these moments, the respect we occasionally display to our elders evaporates. Why? Maybe it has something to do with our lust for the new. We certainly love change, don’t we? We could have a perfectly good and efficient (insert anything here: program, movie, law, style, four-time MVP quarterback), but when it becomes dated, old or scuffed, we rush to the glittering New, which likely won’t be any better. But who cares, it’s new! It’s one thing to apply this philosophy to our toaster or car. But we do it to human beings, to our grandparents and parents. We do it to people.

They get sick and we write them off. They can’t care for themselves and we call a nursing home. They need help and we exile them. They deserve to be listened to, not shunned. They deserve our love, not our contempt. They deserve an embrace, not an exile. It can be painful to watch them age and become feeble. I know how frustrating it can be. Before my Grandma Florence died, her short-term memory was almost gone. She once asked me what my shoe size was 18 times in a 10-minute car ride. It was very frustrating. But if we can look past the frustrations and aged exterior, we can find an encyclopedia on life. Maybe we’d make fewer mistakes if we just consulted them every once in a while. Maybe we could glean some wisdom from them. Jonathan Matthes is a Zionsville resident and is studying philosophy at Saint Meinrad Seminary. He can be reached at jmatthes@priestforever.org.

Farmer’s Almanac advice doubtful Commentary by Ward Deglar

I’ve never taken the Farmer’s Almanac seriously even though its annual weather predictions and gardening counsel have Plain Talk reportedly been 85 percent accurate since the publication was born in 1818. The other day, however, I picked up a copy of the 2014 edition on a whim. Frankly, I’m skeptical. This winter in Indiana is supposed to be milder than normal with temperatures 3 to 5 degrees above average, with less precipitation than normal. So far record snowfall and double-digit below zero temperatures have cast a slight pall of doubt. The almanac also publishes month-by-month gardening schedules. In January I was supposed to harvest winter vegetables, test the soil and prune and spray my cherry trees. If I’d had any vegetables left in my garden in January, they would have been buried under eight inches of snow, and with temperatures below zero I would have needed a jackhammer to dig them out.

get a soil test. I don’t have any cherry trees, and the apple trees that were here when we bought the house in 1981 died soon after of unknown causes. In February I’m called on to build raised beds, firm down soil lifted by frost, plant peas, look for slugs and add mulch where needed. So far February is looking a lot like January. There is still a lot of snow on the ground so I can’t even see the soil, much less do anything to it. Plus, it’s still solid permafrost, which means planting anything is pure fantasy. My mulch pile is frozen solid and, presumably, so are any slugs still hanging around. Something else bothers me. The almanac is published in Lewiston, Maine, an area that is buried under four feet of snow much of the year. How do they even know what a garden looks like?

DNR talks Ford Road bridge

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Last week the Indiana Department of Natural Resources held a public hearing to collect comments about the Ford government Road Bridge project. “We are here to gather information and comments regarding the construction and bridge replacements, and the associated road realignments,” said DNR Environmental Manager Brad Baldwin. The DNR is responsible for approving or denying the construction of a new bridge based on three factors: if the action would harm fish or wildlife, if the action would destroy personal or public property and if it will increase flooding. “We are aware that there may be additional issues to the project but we are not here to discuss those,” Baldwin said. More than 50 people attended the meeting, many of whom are residents of the Hunt Club area and state that the reconstruction of a new Ford Road bridge would harm the natural resources. In addition, concerns were stated about how the realignment of 96th Street would harm natural resources. Greg Zubeck, an attorney representing the Eagle Creek Nature Conservancy, spoke during the meeting. He said that there is ample concern over the mature trees that will be destroyed. More than 30 trees will be moved if the application is approved as-is.

“Any trees that are 10 inches or larger in diameter would need to be replaced within a 5-mile radius,” Baldwin said. “Immature trees will not be replaced.” Several members of the audience raised concerns over the fish that would be harmed in Eagle Creek. Baldwin said that the Division of Fish and Wildlife has experienced biologists who will evaluate how conditions will change, but said he cannot comment on the specifics of what the biologists will review. Boone County Councilor Gene Thompson said that this is a Boone County project. “In Indiana, bridge construction projects, even within municipal boundaries, are a county responsibility and are funded with either local bridge funds paid by county taxpayers or jointly funded with federal funds,” he said. “Input from the Zionsville Town Council is critically important and valued, but all decisions on this project will be made by the Boone County Commissioners and County Council.” “Everyone is aware that something needs to be done,” Thompson said. “And the people at this meeting who say that there will be more flooding at the area, well, don’t they know that there is already flooding there?” The Ford Road Bridge project has been in the works since 1995, when the town recognized the need to replace the existing bridge on South Ford Road.

How do you travel to downtown Zionsville to shop & dine? ANSWERED: 798 SKIPPED: 103

People say the village needs flair and a facelift By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Do you shop downtown? Do you drive a car on Main Street or think parking is too congested? These were just a few of cover story the questions that more than 900 Zionsville residents answered last fall in a survey. According to Director of Planning Wayne DeLong, a consumer survey was conducted as part of a market study and parking analysis that cost $79,000. The consumer survey summary was delivered to the town via companies TADI and Business Districts, Inc. on Dec. 23. Town Manager Ed Mitro said that this marketing study and parking analysis are an outgrowth of the town’s economic strategic plan completed in September 2012. “A recommendation of that plan was to focus on the downtown to develop a strategy for its continued growth and success,” Mitro stated. DeLong said that 901 Zionsville residents completed the survey. Nearly 49 percent of those surveyed have lived in Zionsville for more than 10 years. Mitro stated that this survey offers valuable information on the consumer use of downtown, and its market characteristics and shopper preferences. This year the town’s goal is to tackle some of the issues the study highlighted. Following are some of the results and anonymous survey responses.

“I would prefer there to be more shopping options that are not necessarily high-end, and more practical, everyday items,” stated one respondent. Residents shop most frequently in businesses on Zionsville’s Michigan Road and in Boone Village, and shop less frequently in the village, with more than 40 percent stating that they mostly take quick shopping trips downtown, lasting less than an hour. Half of the survey’s respondents stated they would gladly spend more money and time downtown if there were more specialty shops for groceries and clothing. When it comes to women’s, men’s and children’s apparel, 151 respondents said they wish they could buy clothing in town but that one barrier to this is that Zionsville stores have limited shopping hours and higher prices. “I don’t expect stores in downtown Zionsville to be able to compete with big-box stores on everyday items, but I think they could offer more in the way of moderately priced clothing, gifts and accessories. The prices are usually just too high for me, and the clothing is either too young or too ‘boutique-y.’ Also, it would be very helpful to shop in the evenings or on Sunday,” stated a respondent. Another stated that he or she loves shopping downtown “but wish we had a greater variety of stores.”

“Mo r mor e stores, e ho urs”

SHOPPING: Charming but dated Within the survey responses, the majority of people commented that they find Zionsville attractive but are not convinced to spend money in the village for what most people call “outdated” items and antiques.

Two hundred, twenty respondents stated that they would “spend a lot more money” if there were more casual family dining restaurants in town. “Service has to be good,” one respondent stated. “I feel we need more family-friendly quick eating that is better than fast food.” Outside Zionsville, residents most frequently dine at Panera Bread and Café Patechou. More than 67 percent of people surveyed would spend more money dining in town if there was a fullservice bakery such as Panera Bread. “Local ownership with multiple locations and concepts, such as Patechou, Inc., represent opportunities for [Zionsville],” stated TADI Engineer Peter Lemmon.

PARKING and SIDEWALKS In terms of parking, the majority of respondents stated that parking downtown is “excellent” or “average.” “(The survey) pointed out that, although there is adequate parking throughout the whole of the downtown, private parking is underutilized and parking could be better identified,” Mitro stated. Respondents also stated that they would like to see the brick street and its sidewalks cleaned more often. Several people even stated that they would be happy to make Main Street a “pedestrian only” area. “I really like the new sidewalks. I have had some difficulty walking on them with a double stroller,” stated one person surveyed. “Having smoother and wider sidewalks is always nice for a family stroll.”

“Less high-end goods.”

The majority of Zionsville residents spend more than $100 dining outside their home every week. Thus, it was vital for the study to show where residents are spending their money. Survey respondents stated that they tend to dine in the same areas where they shop, such as Michigan Road restaurants, with more than 25 percent dining downtown weekly.

Presidents’ Day not for schools

How to be heard

There has been some amount of talk/wondering about whether Supt. Dr. Scott Robison will reel back in Feb. 17, Presidents’ Day, as a makeup day in Zionsville Community Schools for all the closings Mother Nature has foisted on us. He will not. In his blog last week, Robison stated: “I do not intend to unilaterally breach this calendar contract with the community.” There are days built into the schools calendar for makeup, and P-Day is not one of them. Robison smartly stated that, with the ever-changing weather in these parts, it’s too early to tally the total of makeup days. There is a cushion in the gap between the “official” end of school and commencement. That’s just good planning, so fear not, there will be a summer break. Weather permitting. ••• 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 the aforementioned 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. Hang in there with us, because good things come to those who wait.

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.

Q U O T E  O F   T H E  W EEK The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.

- Theodore Roosevelt

Last month at the Zionsville Town Council’s agenda setting meeting, residents of the Village Homeowners Association stood before the council members (at 7:30 a.m., no less) and asked to have a “formal voice” in the planning for the future of our downtown. One member pulled me aside and said, “You’ve got to help us have a voice.” While their initiative is bold, and to be respected, what was lost on them is that there are already several methods for Zionsville residents to have a voice. Yes, a formal, recorded, goes-down-in-history voice. One small case in point is the survey that was conducted last year. The town paid more than $70,000 to collect thoughts from Zionsville residents and this week we here at Current published many of those responses. That is a voice! In addition, throughout the planning process (aka- for ANYTHING to get done in town) each petition that goes before the town council and the planning commission has at least seven opportunities for people to speak out in public hearings and elsewhere. These meetings are always recorded, and are heard in person by the officials we, the people of Zionsville, have elected to be our voice. Councilman Steve Mundy put it quite well when he said that the council hears every person who stands at the podium during a public hearing on any issue. “When there is a line of 40 people waiting to talk to us, that’s not lost,” he said. A group of four eighth-grade Zionsville West Middle School girls certainly used their voice when they spoke at last week’s Council meeting and asked for a crosswalk to be built from the Royal Run subdivision to their school. This was a noble feat, and something that was sincerely appreciated by the council members. The next time someone comes up to this humble reporter and her notebook to complain that they aren’t being heard, I think I’ll remind them that they probably haven’t even tried because the people who I see speak, are always heard.

Working mom’s job is hard enough Commentary by Danielle Wilson 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.

Romantic night remembers Gershwin

for 6 1.9% 0 mo nths

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.

Facts about sugar substitutes Commentary by Jessica Swenberg, MD Numerous health studies have been published about the potential risks of drinking soda – both regular nutrition and diet. While sugar-filled sodas have been linked to weight gain and even obesity, diet drinks are also scrutinized. In fact, recent research suggests that diet drinks may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Both regular and diet sodas are linked to not only obesity, but also kidney damage and certain cancers. A 2004 study published in the “American Journal of Preventive Medicine” found that calories from beverages account for more than 20 percent of the total daily calories Americans over age two consume. Consuming that many calories just from beverages is one reason people gain weight from drinks such as regular sodas. Switching to diet soda was once thought to be the answer. However, we now know that although diet drinks have no calories, the brain responds to the sweetness in sugar substitutes, stimulating chemicals that can increase feelings of hunger. This can lead to overeating and weight gain.

People also have questions about the safety of sugar substitutes used to sweeten many diet drinks and low-calorie foods. The most common substitutes are Aspartame (Equal®, NutraSweet®), Saccharin (Sweet‘N Low®) and Sucralose (Splenda®). Stevia (Truvia®, Pure Via®) is another sugar substitute that is made from an herbal plant and is found in some foods and drinks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates artificial sweeteners and considers them all safe in moderation. When it comes to choosing food and drinks – including sodas and foods and beverages containing sugar substitutes – practicing moderation is a good thing to keep in mind. And remember, there’s always nature’s number one beverage – water. If you’re trying to cut down on soda, consider adding a bit of flavor to water with slices of lemon, lime, cucumber, mint leaves or strawberries. Jessica Swenberg, MD, specializes in family medicine.

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.

A Moroccan Versailles 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.

Have you ever walked on a real bluestone patio with thick moss behaving as 2-inch joints, or seen a massive travertine outoutdoors door bistro counter (shout out to Greenleaf for the counter)? What about genuinely custom outdoor furniture skillfully crafted in Hamilton County by Vive using locally sourced maple? These are just a few of the inspirational use of materials we witnessed at the 2104 Home Show a few weeks ago. Check out our “Best Of” the Home Show video at www.choosesurroundings.com if you didn’t brave the icy-cold trek to the fairgrounds. There were plenty of opportunities to see more common elements such as concrete paver patios with seat walls and columns. We enjoy those materials, particularly when employed in an extreme, custom or edgy fashion and coupled with REAL. Real limestone. Real travertine. Real boulders. Rising star Jason Watson, the young-gun proprietor of Kenneth Watson Design, created a favorite space. Our buddy Zach, owner of Green Stone in Noblesville, introduced us. Zach is another rising star and ambitious supplier of unique boulders, stone and other natural products our luxurious projects command. Jason’s linear privacy panels take unique

advantage of standard cedar materials, built in a modern fashion. The space is enveloping and curiously prompts you to hang. Which is what we did. We gathered around the bar-height bistro table constructed from rescued hand-hewn wood I imagine was sourced from an ailing barn. The massive bluestone supporting column houses a linear fire feature that seamlessly grows out of the counter. All very REAL. After all … that is what we hope to create for you. Something real. Where you can experience real family moments in a space that speaks to your values and your personality. Welcome to 2014 luxury outdoor living!

INSIDE & OUT

Current in Zionsville

www.currentzionsville.com

New kitchen and bathroom trends Commentary by David Decker 2014 has barely begun and already we’ve started to map out the newest trends for your kitchen and bathrooms. 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

SCAN TO DOWNLOAD OR REDEEM COUPON 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.
