Not one sink, but four, plus a snow tire, tractor tire, antique sewing machine, brass bed and frame, coca cola cooler, two water volunteerism heater tanks, and miles of pipes and old fence posts. That is part of the 2600 pounds of debris that dedicated volunteers dragged out of Eagle Creek on the morning of Sept. 14. “When we entered Eagle Creek Saturday morning, I expected to pick up a few bottles and cans,” Volunteer Phil Howard said. “I was totally taken back by the amount of junk that was pulled out of the creek in such a small span (Elm Street Green Park, Lions Park, to Creekside Park). We filled a dump truck and two pickup trucks full.” The idea to assemble volunteers for this cleanup day came from Todd Settle. He fishes in the creek often. “The idea of a creek cleanup came naturally after noticing large amounts of trash and debris in the water. Because of the extent of it, I knew we needed an organized group effort to make a dent in it,” Settle said. “I can’t thank the volunteers and parks staff enough for literally diving in and taking on this challenge.” Superintendent of Parks & Recreation for the Town of Zionsville, Matt Dickey, was grateful for the idea and also the many volunteers who pitched in to help but sees more work to be done. “We will certainly be doing it again, but we’ll have

to determine which location because it (Eagle Creek) is limited with access,” Dickey said. With the shocking volume and size of the debris removed it was clear to Dickey and others that the creek had been used as a dumping ground by past home owners on the creek and possibly others. “While debris enters our water ways through floods, it was evident that a lot of what we found was illegally dumped there years ago,” Howard said. “When we (people) discard something into the creek, we are polluting our drinking water, and the environment for years to come.” This volunteer effort clearly proves that interest in preserving the environment is changing. “It shows that in the past people took a different view of our natural resources since some of the stuff had been dumped in the creek and left for decades,” Dickey said. “The fact that we can bring 42 volunteers together in a short period of time to help indicates that our citizen’s attitudes have changed.”

I could have made sweaters Commentary by Ward Deglar

My dog, Brutie, has just gone into full molt. There is fur everywhere. He does this twice a year, and considering that he is 85 percent fur to start with, we are dealing plain talk with a lot of fur. In the kitchen pouring coffee, I spot something resembling a floating mouse scooting across the floor by the fridge - a clump of airborne Brutie fur. In the far-blown corners of every room (and there are 12 of them), fluffy little mounds of black and white fur accumulate and undulate in the breeze. Every morning I grab my handy square fur sponge (designed specifically for removing pet fur from carpets), and rub up a full pound of fur in the living room and hall. I comb him vigorously with a doodad that resembles a tiny garden rake and gather great handfuls of fur. Another gizmo called a Furminator yields a fur ball the size of a basketball. All this fur reminds me of a young woman who

manned a booth selling beautiful sweaters at the Renaissance Fair in Minnesota years ago. They were soft and downy, luxuriant by any standard. I asked her what the material was. “Dog,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I comb out old Shep every day, accumulate his wool and spin it into yarn.” When I pressed her for more information, she led me to the back of her booth and showed me her honest-to-God spinning wheel. Old Shep wandered by showing off his heavy fleece and wagging a friendly tail. “This is my source,” the woman said. “Shep is an ample provider.” Oh, how I wish I’d had Brutie back then. Think of the beautiful sweaters I could have had. Lamentably, I didn’t get the woman’s name or address. And I don’t have a spinning wheel. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.”You may contact him at ward.degler@gmail.com.

By Abby Walton news@currentzionsville.com

A night of rock ’n’ roll is set to take over the Zionsville Performing Arts fundraiser Center, 1000 Mulberry St., as Phil Dirt and the Dozers hit the stage on Sept. 28. The Dozers are a tribute band that’ll take guests back to the sounds of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. The concert, along with a silent auction, are all part of the ZBOP Presents fundraiser. “We had the Dozers here in 2009 and since then it’s been our most requested show to have back,” said Erika Revercomb, a Zionsville Band and Orchestra Patrons board member. ZBOP is a group of parents and supporters of the instrumental music programs at Zionsville High School. “The board helps raise money for the band, orchestra and guard programs,” Revercomb said, adding that this is the largest of their many fundraisers. “The money we make dur-

ing ZBOP Presents goes to help hire outside instructors for the instrumental music students, color guard and drum line programs. It helps buy music and instruments and also helps pay for competition fees,” she said. Tickets for Phil Dirt and the Dozers are $20 to $50 and can be purchased online at www.zboponline.org by scrolling down to the band’s poster and clicking on tix.com. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for a silent auction with the concert starting at 7 p.m. Silent auction items can also be viewed in advance by going to the ZBOP website.

Watt’s moves downtown

By Julie Osborne • julie@youarecurrent.com

There will be a new Christmas tree in town this holiday season, actually about 2,000 of them. This week, the Watt’s Christmas Tree Farm is beginning its move to downbusiness town at 165 W. Sycamore St. “We are starting to move into the building and will be out of here (9180 Hunt Club Rd.) by the end of October,” owner Deborah Watt said. “We are moving into the Calico Corners building now, and the plans for renting the buildings next door are still being negotiated.” The buildings are currently home to the Finer Consignor and Electric Image, which Watt hopes to also rent at its new location. Watt said she will continue to seek a more permanent location that can house the outdoor Christmas tree lot and have parking available for customers to load trees, but she is excited to be downtown for now. “This is not a permanent spot. This land will eventually be developed.” she said. “But, after being in business 52 years, it’s great to still be here and now to be downtown.” Along with the fresh cut Christmas tree lot, the new building will house internationally known “Watts’ Train Station” as well as a thriving train repair business. Popular children’s toys, PlayMobile, Thomas and Chuggintown will also be available as well as Christmas items including

ornaments, greenery, wreaths and more. Watts Christmas Tree Farm not only carries Christmas items but is part of many family traditions. “Some people who come every year now bring their grandkids. They have grown up here,” longtime employee Debbie Ledrew said. “I helped Mr. and Mrs. Watts set up the first Christmas shop 52 years ago. There are so many memories. I hope the tradition carries on.” If the move goes as planned, the new store will open in early October with everything in place for another Zionsville tradition. “We’re really excited. It will be a unique opportunity to share with Christmas in the Village,” Watt said. “It’s such a perfect match. We’re evolving with what it will look like. We’ll definitely have a big beautiful Christmas tree.”

They were blown away with the size and magnificence of the Colts’ facility. For me to hear the oohs and aahs and to see all of the jaws drop was really cool.”

Joseph Stockwell has brought his unique style of chiropractic services to Zionsville. “My wife is from Zionsville so we decided to move to be near her family,” business he said. Stockwell’s practice, 1500 W. Oak St., Suite 200, helps adults, but also specializes in helping children. Stockwell previously practiced in Utah. “If you think about it, a lot of the physical troubles we have as adults usually began when we’re kids,” Stockwell said. According to Stockwell, spiStockwell nal troubles can begin as early as birth or even in utero. That’s why he suggests babies have their spines checked after birth. “My technique is extremely gentle. There are no forceful movements, twisting, cracking or popping. What I do is use just a little pressure and guide your spine into alignment,” he said. Stockwell said his practice is not like your typical chiropractor. When someone has their first consultation, he spends almost two hours examining your posture, how your body holds its weight and much more. This gives him the information he needs to properly adjust the spine. “After that first adjustment, people walk around with a totally different expression. It’s

like I’ve turned on a light switch,” he said. Kids often wear heavy backpacks incorrectly, which Stockwell said is just one of many things that happen in childhood which can affect adults later in life. “Children respond to adjustments more quickly. So if we can get to the root of the problem when they’re young, then those problems might not arise later in life,” he said. For more information, visit www.indysatlas. com or call 733-2626.

After 10 years, Traders Point Creamery continues growing its farm-to-table business By Abby Walton • news@currentzionsville.com It all started with a farm and an idea. In 1997, Dr. Peter (Fritz) Kunz and his wife, Jane Elder Kunz inherited a farm from her family. “Back then, there weren’t any buildings on Cover story the property. It was just land that was part of a dairy cow operation in Jane’s family,” Fritz said. The Kunzes knew they wanted to continue using that land for the dairy farm, however, they wanted to change the way the farm operated. “My husband is a physician, so we’ve always been into the organic way of life and thinking about what kinds of food we put into our bodies. So we knew that if we were going to do this, then it needed to be organic,” Jane said. At the time, there weren’t any organic dairy farms in Indiana so the Kunzes traveled to Wisconsin where they met a man who used rotational grazing for his cows. “Basically, the idea is for the cows to be self-sustaining, meaning they feed themselves by eating the grass and also help fertilize the fields,” Fritz said. After a few years of making sure they had the right grasses and cows, 160 today, they opened Traders Point Creamery in 2003. “We sold our first bottle of milk at the Zionsville Farmers Market,” Fritz said. Yogurts, ice cream, and artisan cheeses are now a part of their expanded product line including their award winning Fleur de la Terre cheese which won the blue ribbon from the American Cheese Society in 2007. “Our cheese is made from 100 percent organic grassfed milk. This affects the flavor by adding unique character to every one of our cheeses, aged and fresh,” Cheesemaker Britton Comer said. “The

seasonal basis for our cheese variety lends a traditional farmstead style complimenting our milk. The small batch methods create an intimate relationship between the maker, cheese and people who enjoy them.” Over the past 10 years, the business has grown with the addition of a dairy bar, restaurant and teaming up with grocery store chain Whole Foods to sell its yogurt nationally. “It was never in the plans to do all of this,” Jane said. But the Kunzes were able to create something that has struck a chord with patrons who visit their restaurant, The Loft, or buy their products at the store. “It’s what I like to call the symphony of food. At the farm, people can see that performance of food firsthand and know that what they’re eating is truly organic and raised as healthy as possible,” Fritz said. In fact, all the meat served at Traders Point Creamery is 100 percent grass fed, and Executive Chef Brandon Canfield brings locally sourced and seasonally inspired foods to create their farm-to-table menus using ingredients from their onsite organic garden. “The mission here is to, Canfield ‘Nourish the land that nourishes us all,’” Canfield said. My culinary initiative is to bring this mission full circle

by respecting and utilizing the plants and animals that have been nourished on this farm for the last 10 years.” This idea of knowing where your food comes from has also turned Traders Point Creamery into its own live learning lab. “It’s amazing how many kids today don’t know where their milk comes from. So we love to invite the public Award-winning artisan cheeses. and school groups to tour the (Photo by Anya Albonetti) farm to see how everything works,” Jane said. Ten years into the business, Traders Point Creamery continues to grow. With a new space called The Roost that can hold private functions, a new kitchen and new products on the way, this farm has no plans of slowing down. “When people think of inheriting something like a farm, they can either think about it as a drain on their pocketbooks, a big check from a real estate developer or do what we did and opt to keep it a green space to show local communities the benefits of preserving local farmland,” Fritz said. Putting a new spin on agriculture is the Kunzes’ plan for the next ten years. “We really couldn’t do this without the community’s support,” Jane said. “It’s really the customers and consumers who are telling us where to go next with our ideas,” Fritz said. With a new production facility, products and ideas for the restaurant in the works, it looks like the Traders Point food orchestra will continue growing for years to come.

NextGear steps up for Chaucie’s Place

Reading is fundamental It is our position that reading is fundamental. This editorial page is inflicted with the constant droning of the value of the exercise. Perhaps it reflects the echoes of an undeniably successful advertising initiative from our youth that hummed – reading is fundamental. Perhaps it simply suggests a universal truth. But, studies since that time have indicated the value and impact of the activity. Yet today, research shows that only a handful of high school graduates ever pick up another book - through the entirety of their lives. Likewise, about half of college graduates ever bother to push their way through a single new book. How can this be? Should it be? Ours are communities ripe with literary opportunity. So if we have a veritable banquet of literature at our disposal, why is it - as the famed character Auntie Mame might declare - that most poor SOB’s are starving to death? We are surrounded by opportunity to commune with authors past and present; yet we run from books like some unappealing household chore we wish to avoid. Embrace reading. Bring it into our households. Make it cool. The benefits to body and mind are measurable. And, we will all be better for it.

That’s the way it is Commentary by Terry Anker We live in an age where assurance in our institutions has reached an all-time low. Church, government, school and commerce each face its own crisis of confidence. While it is impossible to test the hypothesis that we are approaching some cataclysmic moment never before transcended - as there are few polling results from ancient Roman, Egyptian, Mayan or Imperial Chinese times - it is clear that we no longer carry the confidence in these existing power structures. Is this kind of critical thinking all bad? How would we have advanced as a civilization if we’d asked Walter Cronkite when he proclaimed at the end of each newscast, “and that’s the way it is” just who had determined the finality of his remark. Should we have inquired what authority decided which news to fit into the 20 minutes or so of regular content on the evening program? If the show is divided into news, weather and sports – how many minutes of relevant information are we actually getting? And if there are

only 8 minutes or so to report on the important stories happening, can’t we likewise assume that someone - Cronkite or his producer - is making choices as to which topics get the attention brought by a national discussion? Routinely, readers of this humble column ask why a particular topic made the page and others did not. I appreciate and enjoy the feedback. But with so little space and time to opine, there is much more left unsaid than is said. Could the same be true for these institutions? Should we be challenging them to be responsive to our interrogatories? Is it better to ask the uncomfortable questions rather than simply walk away losing respect for what seems to be a loss of relevance? We’ll never know unless we take the time to ask, “if that’s the way it really is.” Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

You might have heard about the windfall Chaucie’s Place received last week, when NextGear Capital stepped in to fill the funding gap for the construction of Chaucie’s Place’s proposed training room. The room was necessitated by increased demands for Chaucie’s Place’s programs, which tells multiple stories about the horrific acts perpetrated on those in our midst and the effectiveness of the programming at the facility. We salute NextGear for its largesse and leadership in the community. Chaucie’s Place is a non-profit child advocacy organization that focuses on the prevention of child sexual abuse and youth suicide with prevention programs for children and adults in Hamilton and Boone counties. NextGear not only applied for funding for Chaucie’s Place through Companies With A Mission Indiana Service Challenge, from which it obtained $5,000, but the company also chipped in $16,000 needed to complete the training-room project. Chaucie’s Place says a number of other companies have committed to the project, offering their services with electrical work, painting and even donating classroom furniture. Construction, which is being managed by Envoy, should begin in October and be completed by the end of the year. (Those wishing to provide support or learn more about Chaucie’s Place prevention programs should visit www.chauciesplace.org.). And speaking of funding, we sincerely hope you will join us at the Treasure Our Children Beach Bash on Oct. 10 at Ritz Charles in Carmel. “Surf’s up” at 5:30 p.m., and the promise has been made to “clear the beach” by 9:30. It’s a tremendously fun evening, with a luau buffet and “appropriate” beachside beverages, as well as silent and live auctions. Put on your favorite tropical attire and sunglasses and help us raise money for a tremendous cause. For more information, please visit the aforementioned website.

Dani, get your gun

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Listen up, people. I have officially channeled my inner Annie Oakley! That’s right, per the recent change to my New Year’s humor Resolutions (the part of Painting Yellow Family Room will now be played by Learning to Shoot a Gun), I sweet-talked my husband, Doo, into to teaching me how to discharge a firearm. Not that he required much cajoling – he’s a deer-hunting junkie and attends the NRA fundraiser each year. Suffice it to say, Doo was absolutely thrilled to “learn me some shootin’ skills.” We packed up our weapons and headed out to a friend’s piece of property up north. (It just wouldn’t have gone over as well had I taken aim in my backyard … children playing tag, Labradors retrieving balls – can y’all say “incarceration?”) We’d scoured the city for ammo the day before, only to realize that people are hoarding .22-caliber bullets. (Apparently I’m not the only one preparing for the apocalypse, zombie or otherwise.) That left me with only two options to try, a 12-gauge shotgun and a thirty-ought-six rifle. Now I’m not a wimpy girl, but I do favor my right shoulder, and told Doo that under no circumstance was I going to shoot something with a bruise-to-the-bone kick-back. He patiently suggested the shotgun. After donning my protective eye- and earware, which I made look amazing by the way,

Doo gave me a thorough lesson on loading and unloading, and of course the obligatory “how not to shoot your eye out” demonstration. My moment of truth had arrived. Noticeably shaking, I raised the gun, aimed in the general direction of a woodpile 25 yards away, and pulled the trigger. BAAM! An orange clay pigeon disintegrated. Yeehaw! I can shoot! And then I sunk to my knees as the adrenaline surged through me. Holy howitzer, that was scary. “Again!” Doo ordered, sounding suspiciously like a dojo master. So I stood up, reloaded, fired, and watched a second bird bite the dust. This time, I felt powerful. I’d like to see some lootin’ jerk try for my last can of beans now! Sensing my increased confidence, Doo nodded toward the big daddy. Bring. It. On. Ten minutes later, I was lining up the cross-hairs of the rifle on a distant bulls-eye. Ka-Boom! “Oooo-uuchhh!” Not only had my delicate elbow been driven back across a splinter-laden picnic table, but my girly shoulder had taken the full recoil of the shot. I did not care for the sensation. Humbled, I went back to the 12-guage. And guess what, folks. This Annie Oakley can check another resolution off her list. Boo-yah! Peace out.

Getting a little culture

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Goodbye summer sun! Fall has arrived and it’s time to lighten up. The BBL (Broad-Band Light™) Photofacial can remove dark spots, uneven brown and red patches– and a host of other things the summer sun left behind. In a few short treatments, you’ll see uneven skin tones lightened, softened and glowing. The BBL™ Photofacial is perfect for the face–but even works on the neck, chest, upper back and shoulders–all the places that were ‘kissed’ by the sun.

“Tasted like wine,” complained another. “It had a kick to it,” opined a third. So I’m thinking, what’s the problem here? Many of the postings are snarky, not befitting yogurt fans who should be more cultured. Comments like: “Chobani is not as sweet as most yogurts, but after a while it grows on you. Literally.” And, “This is the most unique yogurt ever produced. When they made it, they threw away the mold … well, on second thought …” Ulukaya would not reveal how many complaints they had, but he did say “it was not in the hundreds of thousands.” This brilliant PR response was written for Ulukaya by the same guy who told President George W. Bush to say, “Mission accomplished.” By the way, Ulukaya is not from Greece, and neither is his yogurt. It’s made in upstate New York. Their plant was an old Kraft factory that once made jalapeño string cheese, the only product that Kraft ever recalled because it tasted like it was supposed to. So that’s it for all the controversial news in yogurt this week. I didn’t mean to alarm you but I like to stir things up. That’s why my favorite yogurt is Dannon Fruit on the Bottom.

There’s a commercial on TV where Jamie Lee Curtis turns to the camera and reveals to viewers that she is having an “affair” humor with Activia yogurt. This is either a great way to get a yeast infection or an effective way to avoid one. I have no idea which it is. I’m a guy. The Greek yogurt company Chobani recently got some really bad press coverage when it was revealed their product had some really bad coverage - mold, to be precise. I thought yogurt was already part mold. Or is it bacteria? Fungus, maybe? Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know. The founder of the company, Hamdi Ulukaya, perfected the recipe for Chobani based on his belief that everyone, regardless of income or location, deserved access to delicious, high-quality yogurt. Except for the delicious part, he says the same thing about health care. The last yogurt scare in the news was a year ago when a New Jersey firm withdrew salmonella-infected mango yogurt cups from Wawa stores in four states. Like the first moon landing, it was one of those pivotal events - you know exactly where you were when you first heard about it. On Chobani’s Facebook page, some yogurt aficionados expressed their dissatisfaction with the product. “Unnervingly fizzy,” said one.

Sutton Foster to treat Palladium audience

By Jay Harvey • news@currentnzionsville.com Bringing her time-tested solo show to central Indiana for the first time doesn’t mean Sutton Foster is entering unfamiliar theatre territory. This is not a case of a Broadway diva trailing glitter from the Great White Way into the drab hinterlands before quickly beating a path back to the East Coast. You could ask the Ball State University community about that. The 38-year-old Broadway star has taught theater and dance students in Muncie for several years, culminating in her being awarded an honorary doctorate from the university in May 2012. “I hope it will be a lifelong relationship,” said Foster in a phone interview last month just before she began a three-week engagement at New York’s Café Carlyle leading up to “An Evening With Sutton Foster” at the Palladium on Oct. 5. “I’m teaching a Skype course now with their seniors; we’re in the second week of online interaction. And the week after my Palladium show I’m going up there.” Presented by Actors Theatre of Indiana, Foster will be accompanied by Michael Rafter, her musical director, at the piano for her Palladium performance. The solo show is a work in progress, shaped with a view toward coming up with her third solo CD. Rafter and Foster also

collaborated on the first two: Wish (2009) and Sutton Foster: Live at the Carlyle (2011). “It’s been really fun,” she said. “A lot of it is about discovery and new songs. At the Palladium I think we’ll be doing some songs for the very first time that we just started working on.” Born in Georgia, Foster was enrolled in a dance class at age four as a way to channel some of her excess energy, as she recalled in the commencement address she gave to the class of 2012 at Ball State. She sort of happened into theater at age 10, landing the title role in a community theater production of “Annie.” That’s when the show-biz bug bit hard, and her theater emphasis throughout her school days bore fruit soon afterward. The break came when she was tapped for the title role in “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” a stage version of the Julie Andrews film, which became a much-laureled Broadway hit in 2002. As acclaimed as she’s been for her actingsinging-dancing skills, Sutton harbors a desire to do more dramatic roles, though she can’t divulge what’s in the works. This interest stems from her respect for acting. It’s the one part of their career preparation, she tells music-theater students, that should be the strongest. “That was my problem at first: I had a lot of energy and a lot of volume and a lot of chutzpah,” she told me. “I could sing loud and impressively, but singing is a bunch of noise and dance

is a bunch of movement. Ultimately you have to be a great actor; without anything behind the sound, it’s meaningless.” The acting focus is partly why Foster regrets the cancellation of “Bunheads,” the ABC Family series that ran from June 2012 until February with her in a leading role. Critically wellreceived, its end felt premature to just about everyone involved, she said. “It came down to an interesting thing for me: learning about the TV world,” Foster said. “The show and the network weren’t quite the right mix; it was different from the other shows they were producing.” When it’s time to move on, Foster has learned, you seek out new opportunities with a willing spirit. The two most important bits of advice she had to share at Ball State seem to have helped her thrive: “Cultivate personal relationships” and “don’t be a jerk.”

Jack Everly has worked for many years to extend the reach of symphonic pops music in both its marketing and artistic aspects. The Indianapolis Symphony Ortheatre chestra’s pops maestro, who also holds corresponding positions in Baltimore and Ottawa, Canada, knows the thrill of conducting hugely popular holiday concerts as music director of two big annual broadcasts on PBS, “A Capitol Fourth” and “National Memorial Day Concert.” But he also creates and conducts concert programs in cooperation with other orchestras under the Symphonic Pops Consortium, which produces theatrical pops concerts that have racked up more than 250 performances here and in Canada during the past 12 years. The latest is “On Broadway with Kander & Ebb,” a tribute to the great Broadway musical team of John Kander and Fred Ebb. Everly will lead the ISO and five young veterans of the musical stage in the show’s premiere at Hilbert Circle Theatre Oct. 4 and 5. Everly credits Kander and Ebb with extending the legacy established by such classic teams as Rodgers and Hammerstein and Lerner and Loewe. “They continued the evolution of musical theater,” Everly said. “(They) continued to push the envelope right up through ‘The Scottsboro Boys.’” That 2010 musical was well received by critics and garnered many Tony Award nominations, Family Pumpkin Fest – Jump on a hayride and pick out the perfect pumpkin during the Family Pumpkin Fest sponsored by St. Alphonsus Church. The event is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 5 on the athletic field and parking lot of the church, 1870 W. Oak Street. There will also be face painting, pumpkin carving and other activities for the whole family. The event is free however donations are accepted including a coat or blanket to help the church’s Share the Warmth campaign. All coats and blankets will go to the Caring Center of Boone Co.

but it closed after relatively few performances. It stages the story, of nine black teenagers unjustly accused of rape in 1931 and tried in a hostile atmosphere in Scottsboro, Ala. The innovations of Kander and Ebb burst into the public consciousness with “Cabaret” (1966), which presented a different kind of story from what Broadway audiences were accustomed to. Cabaret is set in Berlin during the fragile Weimar Republic, when tough economic times combined with the rise of the Nazi Party made seedy entertainment an alluring escape. Everly, whose tribute will focus on “Cabaret” and “Chicago,” paints the picture of what made Kander and Ebb so innovative when “Cabaret” was new. “You walk into the theater, and you see a big mirror facing you, so you see yourself before anything else,” Everly said, setting the scene. “Then the ‘Cabaret’ sign lights up, fades out, and then in comes the creepiest guy you can imagine with rouged lips and a white face - that was Joel Grey - telling you that life is a cabaret and that’s where you are. Oh, my heavens, you realize what that means.”

Oktoberfest – On Oct. 5 from 6:30 p.m. to midnight, the St. Alphonsus Knights of Columbus will have its annual Oktoberfest celebration. It will take place in the Parish Parking lot, 1870 W. Oak Street. Experience German food and music as well as participate in several raffles for prizes up to $1,500. People must be 21 or older to attend. All the proceeds raised from this event will go towards the Caring Center, Zionsville Food Pantry and the Knights of Columbus charity fund.

PumpkinFest at the Country Market - Every weekend in November, Pumpkinfest will be held at the Country Market, just 5 miles north of Zionsville located at 795 S. US Hwy 421. Each Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m., live entertainment, pumpkin decorating, hay rides, farm animals, games, face painting and a corn maze will be available as well as food, apple cider, antiques, and more.

Unpack your adjectives at Civic

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will bring the pop culture hit “School House Rock” to life on the stage Sept. 25 through 28. For those of us old enough to theatre remember sitting in front of the TV on Saturday mornings learning about a lonely “bill sittin’ on Capitol Hill,” and “Naughty Number Nine,” the show will be a trip down memory lane (as well as a handy refresher on the difference between adverbs and adjectives). But for a new generation of learners, this interactive musical theatre field trip is actually as much about education as it is entertainment. It even fits within the parameters of the academic standards of the Indiana Board of Education’s K-12 common core requirements. For the youth who see it, it will be a rousing, colorful romp through some fairly complex subjects including social studies, math and grammar. “It’s truly fun for kids of all ages,” said Brent Marty, director of music and education at Civic Theatre. “While it’s primarily targeted towards kids, adults will enjoy it too, and the SaturMarty day afternoon performance will fit right into the International Arts Festival. People can take an hour and see the show.” During the International Arts Festival, members

Included in the group will be young members of Hamilton County Special Olympics, who participate in Act One through a new partnership with Civic Theatre called Perfect Harmony. The theatre has produced “School House Rock Live” several times and audience members will recognize actors Lincoln Slentz, Claire Wilcher, Craig Underwood, Diane Tsao Boehm, Rebecca DeVries McConnell and Phillip Armstrong from various Civic Theatre productions and other local theatre companies.

After a five-year hiatus, history will once again hit the rails as the Indiana Historical Society, in a unique collaboration with The diversion Indiana Rail Road Company and Norfolk Southern Corporation, launches a four-year run of the Indiana Bicentennial Train and its on-board exhibition, The Next Indiana. The Bicentennial Train will travel to four stops in the fall of 2013—Kokomo (Sept. 2628), New Haven (Oct. 3-5), Valparaiso (Oct. 10-12) and Delphi (Oct. 17-19). “Getting the train on the tracks takes an extraordinary effort on the part of our staff and partners, but the train and its associated activities are sure to generate a lot of enthusiasm for the bicentennial,” John A. Herbst, IHS President and CEO, said. “It is designed to have communities look to the past, and then contemplate Indiana’s future and what qualities will make us more successful.” The Indiana Bicentennial Train consists of three 65-foot renovated Amtrak freight cars and features a free traveling exhibition, The Next Indiana (designed by the IHS exhibitions team). Originally known as the Indiana History Train, it has welcomed nearly 58,000 visitors at 24 stops in communities across Indiana from 2004 to 2008. The Next Indiana exhibition features more than 400 images that give visitors a look at Indi-

ana’s past, present and future. But the society has more in stock for The Next Indiana and Indiana Bicentennial Train visitors, including an activities tent and a Creativity Commons tent at each stop. These temporary “depots” provide activities, games and presentations for all ages before and after visiting the main attractions. The Bicentennial Train and its accompanying activities are all free and open to the public, operating 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, and every visitor will receive a complimentary pass to visit IHS’s Indiana Experience at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center. Group reservations are available by calling (317) 232-1882 (space is limited). For more information on the Indiana Bicentennial Train and other IHS programs, visit www.indianahistory.org.

How sweet is a solitary moment When I look back at special moments when traveling, it was those times just being still and taking it all in. Looking down on the mat at Machu Picchu in Peru after a five day trek, standing on the Charles Bridge in Prague, watching an Eskimo blanket toss next to the Arctic Ocean in the northern most point of Alaska, doing “tree” pose during a yoga class in the heart of the rainforest in Costa Rica … these are the moments that I remember with clarity. Eagle Creek Park is one of my favorite places in the world. Weekly hikes with girlfriends enable us to catch up on each other’s lives, be out in nature, and get exercise all at the same time. It also includes stopping somewhere on the trail to take in a specific sight or moment. Recently the stop was next to the water where dozens of egrets were enjoying a swim and turtles basked on a log. The sky was blue and that feeling of late summer and not quite fall felt comforting. How many times have we told our kids, parents or even ourselves, “Later”? We have our to-do-list that never ends. We often judge our

day by what we can check off that list. Wouldn’t it be nice to just be? Interesting concept. Find time this next week to just be still. Take in the wonder and joy of being still and using all your senses. Eckhart Tolle wrote in his book, “The Power of Now,” that “glimpses of deep peace are possible whenever a gap occurs in the stream of thought. For most people, such gaps happen rarely and only accidentally, in moments when the mind is rendered “speechless,” sometimes triggered by great beauty. Suddenly there is inner stillness.” The present is right now. The present is not the past and it is not the future. The present is the best gift you can give yourself. A well-known anonymous quote says it all, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” Be still and capture those moments. Until next time … Namaste!

Sparking a healthy lifestyle

By Abby Walton • news@currentzionsville.com

After 15-years as a production manager for a local home builder, Zionsville resident Jay Steinberg left to pursue his dream now open of opening a personal training studio. “I’ve always been physically active and had this dream that I wanted to change lives,” he said. For Steinberg, being physically fit goes beyond someone’s exterior. “It can really change someone’s mental Steinberg state as well,” he said. In August Steinberg opened a studio in his home called Spark Fitness and Training, 4252 Sedge Ct., Zionsville. “The reason I opened a studio in my home is so I could be around my family and also give client’s one-on-one training in a private setting,” Steinberg said. Each of Steinberg’s sessions is 55 minutes and appointments can be made in the morning or evenings. Besides one-on-one training, he also offers small group training for up to three people. Many of Steinberg’s clients live near his home, which he said is great because for many people finding the time to exercise can be an issue. “That just takes away one of the hurdles to stay physically active,” Steinberg said. While Steinberg is helping people achieve

the physical results they want, he also said he wants to teach people how to maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout the day. “They see me for 55 minutes of the day. I want to help them learn how to make healthy eating and lifestyle choices outside of the gym,” he said, adding that he wants to help people reach their fitness goals. “If you’ve always wanted to run a 5K and thought ‘I could never do that. I’m not a runner.’ Then I can break down into steps what you need to do to run that 5K,” he said. Something that’s also unique to Steinberg is that he offers virtual training. “Right now I’m training a woman in Denver, Colorado. I have a tripod that my iPad sits on so I can show her what to do. She told me what kind of equipment she had and I designed a workout from that,” he said. If you’d like to learn more about Spark Fitness and Training, go to www.sparkfitnessandtraining.com.

EXTENDED? STILL TIME FOR 401(k) - Self-employed persons who previously filed an extension can fund their solo 401(k) as late as Oct. 15 and still have it be deductible for tax year 2012. The maximum contribution is 20 percent of the person’s net self-employed income plus up to $17,000 in salary deferrals plus $5,500 in catch-up contributions. The maximum 2012 contribution limit is $50,000 (or $55,500 with catch-up contributions). The proprietor would have had to adopt the 401(k) plan in a previous year, however, to be able to make contributions now for 2012. That’s because 401(k) plans have to be opened before Dec. 31 of the year in which you want to make contributions. Self-employed persons who don’t already have a 401(k) plan can still make retirement savings contributions through a SEP-IRA. SEP-IRAs can be adopted and funded as late as Oct. 15 for the previous year. - about.com

ABOUT THOSE GAMBLING LOSSES - “I just lost a bundle in Vegas, but it’s OK - I’m writing off the loss!” Don’t bet on it. When it comes to writing off gambling losses on your income tax return, the IRS is very strict. Every year the IRS receives tax returns from people who claim their gambling income is minimal while their gambling losses are huge.The IRS has a simple rule for gambling losses: Taxpayers can only claim deduction on losses equal to or less than their winnings. For example, you win $500 gambling, but you lose $1,000 in gambling in the same year. Under the rule, you can only claim up to $500 (the amount of your winnings) in losses on your tax return. A word of caution: Gambling income and losses are among the favorite red flags that the IRS looks for when ordering an audit. If you do write off your gambling losses, be sure that you have all your paperwork to back up your claims. - tax.findlaw.com

6. Ignoring local tax laws: In some states, investors cannot carry capital losses forward to future years. On a federal return, a capital loss in one year can be used to offset gains in a subsequent year. But capital losses without offsetting gains in a current year are lost for state tax purposes. 7. Failing to consider a Roth IRA conversion: When a traditional IRA is converted to a Roth IRA, tax is due on the converted amount in the year of conversion. If, for whatever reason, an investor will have low income in a year, this is an ideal time to convert and settle the tax bill on this money at a significantly lower rate than is otherwise expected in the future. 8. Failing to realize capital gains: Low income in a given year can provide an opportunity to save taxes. Long-term capital gain tax rates are progressive; rates increase as taxable income increases. For taxable incomes up to $72,500, joint taxpayers pay no tax on long-term capital gains. 9. Improperly calculating the cost basis for MLPs: Given their unique tax structure, a large portion of a typical Master Limited Partnership distribution is tax-free. This tax-free distribution is considered a return of principal and should therefore serve to reduce the cost basis. In this case, ignorance may be bliss because the reduction in basis would result in a higher capital gain at sale (unless the IRS comes knocking). 10. Allowing a pension plan to become non-compliant: There are a number of actions or inactions that can put a plan’s qualified status in jeopardy. Oftentimes, an investor will establish a plan with a brokerage firm, and then assume that the brokerage firm is taking care of the ongoing regulatory requirements, including the filing of IRS Form 5500.

Investing is a complex undertaking. The supply of investment alternatives is seemingly endless. Evaluating various alternatives can be quite difficult and very time consuming. Here are the top 10 tax mistakes made by investors according to a survey conducted by financial-planning.com: 1. Short term vs. long term gains: Realized gains on appreciated securities held for one year or more qualify for favorable tax treatment. Longterm capital gain tax rates are significantly lower than short-term rates. Holding a security longer can significantly reduce the tax burden. 2. Foreign stock investments held in a tax-qualified account: Most foreign companies are required to withhold foreign taxes on dividends paid. U.S. investors can claim a tax credit on their tax returns, effectively recouping this lost dividend, but only if the foreign stocks are held in a taxable account. 3. Gold and silver held in a taxable account: Gold and silver are treated as collectibles and therefore are not eligible for capital gains treatment. The federal tax for long-term gains on collectibles is 28 percent. 4. Sale of appreciated securities by elderly investors: The cost basis of appreciated securities is “stepped up” to the current market value upon the death of the owner. Prospective capital gains and related taxes disappear. Conversely, all prospective capital losses will be lost. Elderly investors should consider being quick to sell stocks with losses and slow to sell stocks with gains. 5. Generating excess unrelated business income in a tax-qualified account: Certain investments, such as Master Limited Partnerships, generate unrelated business income. These investments belong in a taxable account. If they are held in an IRA or other qualified plan, and if the Unrelated Business Taxable Income, or UBTI, is greater than $1,000, then the investor must complete and file a rather complex Form 990 and pay additional income tax.

Home sales are up 18.6 percent Commentary by Jim Litten

With 2,415 pended sales in August in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 18.6 percent compared to Real estate this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company. On a monthly basis, August pended home sales rose 3 percent above August 2012, an increase of 71 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Seven of the nine counties reported increased sales compared to August 2012. Though August pended home sales slipped slightly in Boone County, sales are still trending upward for the first eight months of 2013, compared to the same time period last year. • In Boone County, overall year-to-date home sales climbed to 808 - an increase of 100 homes compared to the same time period last year. • August 2013 home sales in Boone County dipped 11 percent to 81 homes - down 10 homes from August 2012. • Specifically in Zionsville, 41 homes pended in August, a decrease of 4.7 percent compared to August 2012.

• Available homes are spending less time on the market in Zionsville. For the first eight months of this year, homes spent an average of 81 days for sale. During the same time last year, homes spent 113 days on the market. • Sales prices are also up in Zionsville. Last month, the average sales price rose to $333,269 – up 23.6 percent from August 2012. • Of the pended home sales in Zionsville last month three were priced $500,000 to $999,999, 20 were priced $300,000 to $499,999, eight were priced $200,000 to 299,999, and 10 were priced $100,000 to $199,999. As we move further into the third quarter, we remain encouraged by the direction of the market in Central Indiana. Across the region, home sales and home prices continue to grow as the inventory shrinks - necessary factors for market stabilization despite a few fluctuations that sometimes occur.

Telecommuters, are you covered? Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Trent R. from Noblesville: My office allows me to work from home when I need to. Are there any insurance Insurance issues I need to worry about? Response from Jamie Ianigro: If you have an ongoing arrangement that allows you to work at home in any capacity, you will be considered a telecommuter. The special privilege of reduced commuting also brings some special insurance considerations in play. Bringing your work home with you can have some unintended consequences. The main reason is because most homeowners policies severely restrict or exclude coverage for business property. This is further complicated by the fact that business property is usually pretty valuable. Business Property could include anything your employer provides for you to work at home including computers, printers, phone equipment, valuable paperwork, etcetera. Liability issues can also arise when you’re working from home. A typical homeowners policy will completely exclude business related losses. A social guest slipping and falling is a simple, and common, claim that your homeowners policy will cover. Switch it around and make that guest a business guest and you can have liability issues for you AND for your employer. Liability claims are never fun, but they’re a lot less fun when your homeowners policy excludes them.

Using your personal vehicle for job-related activities, like making deliveries or client calls, can also cause some issues. Most personal auto policies exclude job-related use. Driving to and from work would not fall under job-related use. Some examples of job-related use would be: picking up a client at the airport, running to the store to restock the office vending machine, driving to and from client appointments, etc. Now that you have a better idea of what you should be worried about, you should take a minute to document what you do so your employer and your independent insurance agent can make sure you’re covered properly. Make note of the following: • What routine job duties do you perform in your home? • Are any tasks hazardous? • Who visits your home because of your job? • Is a certain part of your home dedicated as a work area/office? • What equipment is used in your job? Who owns each piece of equipment? The answers to these questions will be a great start for you and your independent insurance agent to make sure you are adequately protected. Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to asktheadvisor@shepherdins.com.

What To Expect: Parenting Coordination A recent, positive trend in Indiana family law cases, as well as several other states, has been the application of a parenting coordinator in high conflict situations. Typically a mental health professional or a lawyer, a parenting coordinator or “PC” is an individual appointed by order of court and charged with managing on-going issues between parents (and others) in cases with constant and substantial disputes involving child custody and parenting time issues. Either party may petition the Court to appoint a parenting coordinator or if the concur that their situation would benefit from the involvement of the PC, the parties can submit an agreement to appoint one, including selecting the PC. What is a PC’s role? The Order of the Court will have considerable detail as to the extent and limitations of the duties of the PC. Depending on the level appointed, the PC may have the ability to act as a communication facilitator, an ongoing mediator and even, essentially, an arbitrator. As a general rule, the PC cannot modify the court order. For example, the coordinator may recommend a different weekly parenting time schedule, however, does not have the authority to modify the amount of time each parent has with the child(ren). All recommendations of the PC require approval of the Court to go into effect and each party has the opportunity to contest these before the judge, if desired. As the goal is to help the parties effectively co-parent and address issues which may arise from time to time, the parenting coordinator typically meets with both parties regularly, receives day-to-day questions and complaints about any aspect of a party's conduct, gather information from outside sources (schools, doctors, counselors, etc.) and works with the parties, first looking for a consensus or at least a basic agreement. If this is not successful, the PC may

choose to inform the parties of what the PC believes is in the best interests of the children in the hopes of pushing the parties to an agreement. Last, the PC may submit their recommendations to the Court if no agreement is possible There are several levels of authority in Indiana for PCs. A Level III Parenting Coordinator is the most frequent choice, holding a high level of authority and may make binding recommendations to the parties on the issues presented for consideration. A binding recommendation may only later be set aside by a Court Order after one party formally objects to the recommendations by filing an objection with the Court. Further, parties should be mindful that the parenting coordinator can later testify in court about the non-compliance or other issues which may arise during the sessions. How much will this cost? Parenting Coordinators are most often attorneys and charge parents for the time involved in addressing the issues presented. The typical Court order will have the parents sharing the costs such that they are both “invested” in the process. As part of their authority, however, the PC may have the ability to reapportion costs if one party’s lack of cooperation is clearly a primary issue and the source of a disproportionate amount of the costs. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Locating the Burning Bush

Commentary by Donald Knebel

Visitors to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula can explore one of the world’s oldest monasteries, housing what is claimed to be the burning Travel bush in which God first appeared to Moses. They can then ride a camel up nearby Mt. Sinai to see where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments. But both the bush and the mountain may be in the wrong country. Exactly where God met Moses has never been clear. One passage in the Hebrew Scriptures locates the site on Mt. Horeb. Such uncertainty over Biblical places was unsettling to Roman Emperor Constantine, who accepted Christianity in about 312 A.D. So he sent his mother, Helena, to the Middle East to determine where events in the Bible occurred. Helena returned claiming to have found the cave in Bethlehem where Jesus was born, the spot in Jerusalem where he was crucified and the still living bush in Egypt where Moses met God. Constantine ordered a chapel built around Helena’s bush and sixth century Emperor Justinian surrounded the chapel and its famous bush with St. Catherine’s Monastery, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Over the years, at least three mountains near St. Catherine’s have been designated Mt. Sinai. The current bearer of the name was selected in the sixteenth century based on a tradition of the local Bedouins, who now run the camel rides.

St. Catherine’s Monastery (Photo by Don Knebel)

Muslims, who also believe that God delivered his laws to Moses on Mt. Sinai, call this mountain Jebel Mūsa, the mountain of Moses. Skeptical scholars say Helena made a big mistake. They note the Bible locates Mt. Sinai in an area called Midian, which, unlike the Sinai Peninsula, was never part of Egypt. They claim that Mt. Sinai, if it exists, is probably a volcano in Saudi Arabia. For visitors to Sinai, whether the mountain called “Mt. Sinai” has anything to do with Moses may not be that important. Following the narrow path toward the summit on the back of a camel is a unique and exhilarating experience in its own right. St. Catherine’s, in addition to its bush, holds some of the oldest existing manuscripts of the New Testament. Don Knebel is a Zionsville resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

The ‘double is’

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Thank you for attempting to restore a tiny corner of our language culture. I fear that our language is being lost to lazy meatheads. Your column in grammar guy Current gives me hope. In the interest of addressing butchered English, I bring to your attention ‘the double is.’ ‘The double is’ most commonly occurs when inartful people flail at beginning a sentence and try to grasp at a parenthetical expression, resulting in, “The thing is is that …” Another frequent variation would be, “What it is is that … “ The combination of the parenthetical expression and the actual sentence results in two sequential ‘is-es.” Other examples abound. Please consider providing the readers with your thoughts on the ‘double is.’ Thank you.” (Mike Shaver) Answer: I think you’ve gotten us most of the way there already, Mike, but I’d be happy to elaborate a bit further. I found a very interesting article published by Cambridge Journals tracking the rise of the “double is,” or “double copula,” out of America in the 1970s and 1980s. The author, Dwight Bolinger, claimed that “is is has slipped past the wardens of correct usage” and was becoming popular at all levels. This, written in 1987, seems to have been a prescient statement. Getting down to brass tacks, though: The

double copula is always nonstandard, and is grammatically incorrect if used following an independent clause. Let’s look at a quick example of an independent and dependent clause with a double copula. Independent clause: “The truth is, is that I’m tired.” We can clearly see in writing that a double “is” serves no useful purpose in an independent clause. Why this has become a convention for some English speakers, I have no idea. Now a dependent clause: “What the truth is is that I’m tired.” Here, “what the truth is” forms a dependent clause serving as the subject of the sentence. The clause encapsulates the first “is,” necessitating a second verb. While this is a nonstandard form, the argument could be made that the double copula is used as an intensifier, or parenthetically to refer to a previous statement (Maybe something like, “What is the truth behind going to bed so early?”). It isn’t grammatically incorrect, per se, but it is awkward and can often feel as though a speaker is stumbling through a sentence, as you’ve pointed out. My advice: Avoid the “double is” unless you’re writing dialogue for a show about organized crime. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

HAIR • SKIN • NAILS • MASSAGE • SUNLESS TANNING BY VERSASPA

TRY THIS LOOK! We think a sultry, smoky look for your eyes is a great way to go glam for an evening event. Follow these steps to achieve this look: 1. Prep your eye area by applying a touch of concealer to your upper and lower lids. Set the concealer with a brush of loose powder. 2. Line your eyes with a firm eye pencil. “Stay as close to the base of the lashes as possible,” says Salon 01 Makeup Artist Kelly Lohrman. Once lined, use your finger or small brush to gently smudge the liner up towards the creases of your eye. For a dramatic and bold effect, repeat on your bottom lash line. 3. Set the liner with another swipe of translucent powder again. This will also soften the effect and keep the liner from smudging. 4. Add a dark, matte eye shadow to the lids, blending toward the creases. Pick black for a traditional smoky eye, or use a color like green or purple for a more modern look. 5. Don’t forget to finish off with a couple coats of volumizing mascara. For more makeup tips and for help finding the makeup shades that are right for you, stop in Salon 01 for a makeup consultation and lesson.

FALL STYLE This Fall, it’s possible to look chic and feel comfy at the same time. The math for this win/win equation is so simple that you won’t even need to dust off your Texas Instrument. Volume on top + Fitted on bottom = Fashion 101. If you can remember this, you’re golden. The simplest way to achieve this look is with a pair of leggings. Going the legging route leaves you with more options than you might think. While the simple black cotton leggings are certainly a fan favorite, you can easily go for grey or colored ones instead. Pair them with anything from a chunky cable knit sweater, oversized cardigans or boyfriend blazers. When choosing accessories for this look, know that the old “less is more” adage no longer applies. Make a statement with your jewelry by choosing pieces that will stand out from your outfit, not just silently complement it. Shop vintage to snag some unique oversized bangles and over-the-top necklaces. For more up to the minute style advice visit our blog at www.salon01.com/blog. STRAIGHTEN UP FOR FALL After sporting beach waves this summer, straighten out with a stylish and sleek ‘do. Part hair down the middle and work in a styling crème, such as Salon 01’s “Straight & Smooth”, through damp hair. Blow dry straight and part down the side or middle. If necessary, go over face-framing pieces with a straightening iron. When straightening hair, keep in mind that your look should be polished, yet natural. Going overboard with a straightener is a no-no.

Illuminating the master bathroom

SEPTEMBER 28–29

Commentary by David Decker

In a previous column we discussed the steps and considerations that go into creating a beautiful lighting scheme for indoors your master bedroom. Let’s take things a step further and investigate some solutions for the master bathroom. Because the two rooms are so interconnected, the goal is to create lighting that flows from one room to the next. Many homeowners install recessed ceiling lights above the mirror, which works just fine. However, you will get a more even light cast on your face if you are able to install lighting on the sides of the mirror instead of above. The second place that requires task lighting is the shower area. A dedicated feature will help illuminate the entire shower, and the extra light will make it a more energizing place, should you choose to begin your day there. In the bathroom, ambient light often has to act as a stand-in for natural light, since very few bathrooms have many windows. Mounted ceiling lights are the most common type of ambient light source found in bathrooms. You might want to make a bold or luxurious statement by selecting a pendant or chandelier fixture instead. Either way, you may want to install dimmer switches on the ambient lights to help you set the mood for a relaxing bath or shower after a long day of work.
