By Barbara E. Cohen

For the 10th year in a row, the Carmel International Arts Festival brings the world to Carmel’s doorstep. Festival president Rosemary Waters put out a call for artists and entertainers, and they are coming from around the country and — quite literally, from around the world — to delight the city’s residents. “Last year was the ﬁrst year my husband, Guiteau, and I exhibited in Carmel, and the show was a pleasant surprise,” says painter Elaine Rose Lanoue, who is traveling from Texas to participate again this year. “The city really made us feel appreciated.” Winning the Merit Award for her work last year was “the icing on the cake” for this whimsical artist, while brisk sales provide an incentive to return for another year. For two days, a carnival atmosphere will prevail on Main Street in Old Town Carmel, where 180 artists will present their wares. Two stages of continuous entertainment will add to the festive mood, as will a children’s area and a wide range of food vendors. Entertainment The festival will open each day at 10 a.m. on the main stage, starting with a Chinese dragon parade. On Saturday, the dragon will be followed by an international dance ensemble, cloggers, a Dixieland band and Chinese dancers, before the afternoon ends with an acoustic set by eclectic musicians Blueprint Music.

The Banjo Buddies Dixieland Trio, from the Chicago area, is performing in Carmel for the ﬁrst time, although Carmel residents may have seen them at the Indiana State Fair, where they performed most recently in 2004. “There really is no band like ours,” said Ann Stewart, leader of the Banjo Buddies and also known as the “Diva of Dixieland.” “We have a very big sound for three musicians.” The ensemble consists of Stewart on four-string jazz banjo and vocals, her husband Tim Stewart on trombone and Verne Rind on bass and vocals. Their repertoire includes Dixieland jazz as well as popular standards from the 1920s through ’50s. On Sunday, the festivities begin with another dance ensemble followed by a barbershop quartet, Japanese dancers, a magic show, a German brass band and a Celtic quartet before wrapping up with the jazz-piano stylings of Dave Hepler. Free children’s activities include Dooley the Clown, face painting and a caricature artist. A Sunday presentation by Danny Russel portray-

ing Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley will round out the on-stage performances. Artists With more than 180 artists’ work on display, every medium of the visual arts will be available for sale. Joining the Lanoues from Texas are painters, jewelers, woodworkers, metal smiths, glass blowers, potters and all manner of visual and textile artists. “I felt very fortunate to win Best in Media for oil Alair will perform at 3 p.m. Sunday painting last year, especially as there were so many talented painters, not to mention artists in other media,” said landscape painter Gerard Erley of Illinois, who is returning to Carmel for his ﬁfth year. Other artists also report on a favorable reception in Carmel in years past. “I’ve been doing art shows and festivals around the upper Midwest for 15-18 years, and I can honestly say that the present Carmel International Arts Festival is one of the ﬁnest I have participated in,” said painter Robert H. Saueressig of Madison, Ind. “Since I opened

my own gallery last fall, I have eliminated all but my two favorite shows, one of which is in Carmel.” An artist who participated for the ﬁrst time last year, woodcut printer Chris Plummer of Covington, Ky., also came away with a prize. “I’m returning because I thought it was a great show with good-quality artists participating,” he said. “As for the award, it’s always nice when someone likes my work, whether they just say so or they buy something to hang in their home.” Local support The community embraces the artists and entertainers warmly, which brings them back year after year. For Randy Sage, vice president of American Structurepoint Inc., one of two platinum-level sponsors of the festival, the fair is about bringing the community together. “The Carmel International Arts Festival has become something important to the city, and it deserves the support of the corporate community,” Sage said. Architect and illustrator Brian McFarland, who designed the poster for this year’s festival, agrees. “I thought designing the poster would be a fun thing to do,” he said. “It’s quite a shock to see my drawing everywhere, especially along Main Street.” McFarland’s imagined festival isn’t tied to reality but an imagined storytelling of the perfect Arts Festival.

OUR TAKES It is our position that regional mass transportation, especially rail, deserves our consideration. For many years a dedicated group of advocates, including Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman, has been working to reignite interest in public transportation in our community and many others across our state. They argue for cleaner air. They argue for better and more responsible use of resources. And they argue that we have to reduce street trafﬁc to survive the next 50 years or so. They might be correct. Conversely, detractors suggest that building public transportation infrastructure is a folly that will only serve to empty the taxpayers’

collective purse. They argue that the high poll numbers are only reﬂective of the mindset that “As soon as everyone else is riding, I can drive my car with less trafﬁc.” They point out the enormous logistical challenges in creating a transportation system through an already populated and largely builtout area. These points are compelling. It’s true that people are living and working in very different ways today than when we last enjoyed a successful mass-transit system. How do we make mass-transit a part of a contemporary lifestyle and not just an expensive trip down memory lane? Make us want to ride and we will.

EMPTYING OF A MIND – GRAFFITI It is our position that grafﬁti debases not only the building upon which it is inﬂicted, but also the mind from which it comes. Buildings suffer irrevocable humiliation because of the need that A has to proclaim his love for C. Is this something that we really need to know? Best we can tell the offending use of paint falls roughly into four categories: love, both lost and found; id, seeing one’s own name; art, in the eye of the beholder, to be sure; and politics. We are empathetic with the story of A, but we feel that his love life is not our affair. Regarding the insecure

(or perhaps a little too secure) that need to see their name in lights, we suggest that they work hard, start a business and put their name on everything that THEY own. Trump Water anyone? As to art, we support it in all forms, but many artists say that true art requires suffering. So suffer a little, buy a canvas and paint away! The smallest category, politics, is the most interesting. But does one’s opinion on fur really deserve to be painted over a public safety signal? We’d like to spray “Stop Grafﬁti” on their foreheads.

s this column is reaching its final draft, I am sitting on a balcony overlooking the original Bellagio in Lake Como, Italy. The luck of my life has led us to meet wonderful friends who have decided to make their lifetime commitment to each other by a marriage at Lake Como. And the love of my life had the forethought to get me on a plane early Terry to spend a few days alone, just the two of us, recharging and reconnecting. Perhaps it is the calming effect of the water, perhaps it is the calming effect of the second (or third) glass of wine, but it causes one to reflect. This month another Sept. 11 came and passed. It was just a day. The sun was shining. People were moving about. But now and evermore, it will be singular to each of us. It is the day that we, the citizens of United States, lost a certain naïve innocence. Even sitting in the cafes of Europe surrounded by what I expected to be the smug interactions of those who might have believed that we had it “coming to us,” I was surprised. The televisions stations, French, German, Italian and others all ran stories about this event that had changed the world. Each of these countries has struggled with terrorism and war across the span of history. So why was this different? In some ways, it reminded me of the day that Mighty Casey struck out, the day the Bismarck was sunk, and the day that Britney Spears appeared for the last time (perhaps) on MTV’s award telecast. An age had ended. America was not impervious to the misguided efforts of the few to cast hate around the globe. Does anyone know why the Towers were bombed? Somehow I presume that I am still missing the point, but I certainly can’t tell you why. My guess is hate. Pure unadulterated envy. We have lived much of our lives convinced that evil could be identified. Hitler.

Bin Laden. While we knew on some visceral level that it lurked just around the corner, we decided that it didn’t know where we lived. How could people hate America? Land of the Free. Home of the Brave. Certainly we miss the mark, but you’ve got to give us credit for trying. So what are the lessons? One, the United States is not impervious to attack. Two, we are the strongest (in almost every Anker category). But strength is only one variable. And three, we need to be prepared, ever vigilant. The jarring loss of life, the abrupt amputation of an important part of the New York landscape, on 9/11 is sobering. But are we attentive enough? Venetians speak regularly of the fact that their city is sinking. In fact, it has been sinking since it was built; pilings driven into the mud centuries ago are failing. It is good that they are talking about it. It is good that it worries them. But even as some buildings are being saved, others are being claimed by the sea. Why? Mighty Casey was never able to recover. His ego was all that he had. Hitler’s generals failed to recognize the resolve of the British and lost the Bismarck. His arrogance would lead to many other failures and ultimately to his undoing. As to Britney, who knows (what I really mean is who cares)? On the other hand, can she learn from this defeat and emerge from it a stronger, improved and more rounded artist? Only time will tell. Will America be better because of the challenges presented by militant Islam? I think so. Besides, the rest of the world needs us to be great (even if they don’t want to tell us so to our faces). Terry Anker is a Carmel resident and businessman. He is a member of Current In Carmel’s Editorial Advisory Board. E-mail him at terry@ currentincarmel.com.

Random thoughts while pondering why neither of us ever will be a juried artist (mostly because we have zero talent in that regard): The approaching 10th anniversary of the Carmel International Arts Festival is something to celebrate. It has grown exponentially. Visit it this weekend. You’ll be glad you did. And when you see executive director Rosemary Waters and all the great volunteers who help put the event together, thank them! (Their slumber Sunday night will be solidly earned.) *** Every time we see an Osama bin Laden video, we immediately want to fire George Bush. It is utterly shameful bin Laden still roams the Earth. *** Make up your minds! Two weeks ago, you were bleating about not having any grass to cut because of Al Gore’s drought. *** We hear a RE/MAX office could be ticketed for the second floor of the Lurie Building on Main Street. That’s not awful news, because it will occupy the space. Still, we lament that the Midwest Museum of Contemporary Art couldn’t locate there for whatever reason. We have no word on where Jeremy Efroymson will locate the museum. We can only hope it’ll be in the Arts & Design

THERE’S WORSE DEBT Editor: In a letter Sept. 11, Sarann Warner stated: “In the past five years, (Carmel’s) debt has grown from $60 million to $300 million. We are borrowing from our future to pay for wasteful spending today.” I wonder if Ms. Warner is aware of the U.S.

Seems Uncle Sammy wants the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration to fork over the $88 million it was awarded by Washington. The dough was spent between 2000 and ’03 on the state’s psychiatric hospitals because the staffing ratios, therapies and record-keeping allegedly weren’t up to federal standards. Wait!

This does not include the money owed by states, corporations, or individuals, nor does it include the money owed to Social Security beneficiaries in the future. If intra-government debt obligations are included, the debt figure rises to $9 trillion (as of the first week of September 2007).” I have to wonder if she approves of this incredibly bad situation for the U.S., seeing as the Bush administration has led us to this “borrowing from our future to pay for wasteful spending today.” I, and many Americans, do not think the direction of U.S. economics in any of these indebted situations, is acceptable.

FORMER ROCKER BRINGS MESSAGE TO CARMEL

ohn Michael Talbot will be in town this Saturday night to put on a concert celebrating the release of his 50th recording. For those of you that do not recognize the Talbot name, maybe you will remember the 1970s band Mason Profﬁt. It regularly shared the stage with such memorable rock icons as the Byrds, Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead. As the Talbot story of transformation goes, one evening after opening for Janis Jeff Worrell Joplin, he returned CarmelCan! to the stage after the crowd had departed. As he looked out into the empty arena, clearly

John Michael Talbot

visible were the self-destructive vestiges of his art left behind by his fans. He decided he could contribute to our society in a more positive way and determined his talent was better suited to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ rather than promoting the world of drugs, sex, rock and roll. Today, people like Melissa Miller, one of

the organizers of this weekend’s concert and devoted Talbot groupie, uses the music of John Michael to bring peace, serenity and spiritual reﬂection to her life. You may join her, Saturday night at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church for the concert. Tickets are free, but you must call 867.3213 to get a ticket. Along with Melissa, a team of helpers decided to secure a venue, manage logistics and the other hundreds of details for such an event. Connie Anderson, Mary Bellows, Sheryl Clifford, Jen Downing, Brenda Elmer, Deb Grisham, Tenna Pershing, Susan Summerlin and Kim Zachery will make sure that you have every opportunity to nourish your soul during this musical retreat. Janis Joplin did it her way. John Michael Talbot did it his way. Come see for yourself the difference. Jeff Worrell is a local business owner. He recognizes volunteers on “Connecting with Carmel” on Cable Channel 16. Contact him at jworrell@ advantagemedical.com.

While I’m ranting about his insensitivity, I’m really just waiting for the one phrase that will make me forget about his inconsiderate action; the one phrase that will make me love him again. But it’s obvious he’s in complete defensive mode and is having trouble even remembering his name. Come on, babe. You know the code, you know it! We’ve discussed this many times. You can do it! Come on, man! Think! There’s something I’m supposed to say, but what is it? “I worked all day?” No, no. “You got to be home with the kids and play, so relax?” Deﬁnitely not it. “Happy Birthday”?

t was the day after our twins’ birthday. I’d been home all day trying to clean up the aftermath of the toy explosion and party debris and dealing with four over-tired, sugar-hyped kids. After dragging them to yet another celebration, this one for family, (where my husband met us after his blissful day in a quiet and slow office), it was finally time to put them to bed. Per his usual M.O., our 8-year-old protested by instituting a sit-in on the living room floor. As he fought off my tickling attack, my son’s greatest ally, aka “Daddy,” performed a perfect flanking maneuver from the family room and caught me right below the ribs. Now I don’t know Danielle about you, but I HATE Wilson to be tickled. Perhaps I was traumatized as a young child by a favorite uncle or maybe I’m just too old, but tickling hurts, and the more I tense my muscles, the more painful it becomes. I freaked out and yelled, reminding him about my pulled back muscle from a Turbo Kick class just a few days prior to the birthday melee. I can only imagine the ensuing confusion inside his head: Oops. That didn’t go as planned. Why is she freaking out? It was just a little tickle. And why is she looking at me like I just bought her a plasma TV for Mother’s Day? How was I supposed to remember she had a sore lower back? Damn, she’s sexy when she’s mad. No, not now!

One of our transitions had us relocating to four different states during my husband’s career. Each move provided us with a more ﬁnancially secure future, but each move chal-

lenged us as a family. The children were at different stages of their emotional development during each move. My husband and I were determined to help our children realize that as long as we stayed true to our family values, it really made little difference where we lived. What was paramount in our teaching process was that it ALWAYS makes a difference in HOW we live. What I’m saying is that parents will be confronted with many transitions for which our children will be innocent bystanders. How we choose (and it is our choice) to maintain family values during the most adverse of circumstances will determine our children’s vulnerability to insecurity or their empowerment to emotional

security. Without exception, children need a sense of belonging. It is up to us to help them understand that they belong to something greater than the transition being imposed on them. Given the opportunity, our children are resilient enough to handle whatever it is we ask of them as long as we speak to their hearts. When we speak to their hearts we are letting them know we believe in them and appreciate them being an integral part of the family. Hugs!

cally increased. Television channels alone have exponentially expanded. With the addition of satellite radio, even your car can carry hundreds of channels. With the Internet, if you consider each Web site a channel, there will be billions of channels. But, most importantly, every channel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether television, radio, or internet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has an audience. It might only be an audience of 10, but nonetheless, there is always an audience. That audience is what can make or break a person, a campaign, a company. It can make a person famous or cause serious damage to a campaign. It can increase a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation or destroy a businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signiďŹ cance. While it has proven wildly successful for political candidates to raise money online, there has also been a treasure trove of embarrassments.

These inďŹ&#x201A;uential audiences like constantly moving channels as well. They enjoy jumping from one medium to the next with endless updates of information. Even when the television commentator begs them to, â&#x20AC;&#x153;stay tunedâ&#x20AC;? no one does. Instead they move on to the next ďŹ ve- to 15-minute segment that captures their interest. The original power and authority of the system has been reversed. Online media allows anyone to create the message, but the real power lies with the audience.

MAKE $ ON MYSPACE: A new Web site, lemonade.com, lets people put kiosks of their favorite products on Facebook or MySpace and make money on the clickthroughs, reports Bob Tedeschi in The New York Times (9/10/07). You register at lemonade.com and create your kiosk by choosing from â&#x20AC;&#x153;roughly two million items on the site.â&#x20AC;? You click and drag your choices into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lemonade standâ&#x20AC;? that â&#x20AC;&#x153;displays a slide show of those goods, along with product headings and item descriptions.â&#x20AC;? Then you just type in your Facebook or MySpace address and your â&#x20AC;&#x153;lemonade standâ&#x20AC;? is up and running in a matter of minutes. You get paid just for clicks, but you also earn a commission if somebody actually buys something.

en years ago could you have imagined a world where a political candidate would have to answer to a guy in his basement? Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening now. The impact of online media is growing so quickly that its inďŹ&#x201A;uence has even reached the political campaign trail. Online media is reaching a new level of importance these days, and yet the original power and authority of the system has been reversed. Historically, the power rested with the programmers, publishers, producers and television David Cain executives. Today, On Marketing these groups have been overthrown by average people that choose to blog their opinions, video their message and post it on YouTube, or develop and participate in online communities. And the list of available channels to encourage this role reversal has grown as well. Years ago there used to be only three to ďŹ ve channels within each medium of communication.

The combination of exercise and caffeine increased destruction of precancerous cells that had been damaged by the sun’s ultraviolet-B radiation, according to a team of researchers at Rutgers University. — Msnbc.msn.com

FREE PROSTATE SCREENINGS: Because prostate cancer often causes no symptoms in its early stages, routine screenings are the only way to uncover hidden irregularities while it’s still treatable. It is recommended that all men more than 40 years old should have yearly prostate screenings. Free screenings will take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 25 at Clarian North Medical Center at 116th and Meridian streets. Call 688.2746 to schedule a five-minute appointment. ADD SOME SPRINTS: If you’re devoting too much time to cardiovascular workouts, it could be compromising your muscle development. When you jog, you use mostly slow-twitch muscle fibers, and the constant pounding seems to have a shrinking effect on your upper-body muscles. It’s best to do sprints for your cardio at a track or football field. On a treadmill, after a light 3-minute warm-up jog, sprint for 30 seconds, then rest for a minute, and repeat this sequence for 10 minutes. — Menshealth.com TRY QIGONG: Washington Township Parks will offer two sessions of Qigong, and ancient oriental form of movement designed to enhance health by releasing stress and increasing vitality. The first will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 27, and the second will be from 10 a.m. to noon on Sept. 28. Each class costs $26 and is designed for adults. Call 574.1074 or go to www.washingtontownshiphc.us to register.

THE INCREDIBLE AVOCADO IS FULL OF GOOD FATS

ecently, I overheard a curmudgeonly man gripe to his wife that she had — gasp! — allowed the counter girl assembling his taco to add guacamole. “I don’t eat no green food!” he grumbled. The avocado, like me, is an acquired taste and often misunderstood because of its high oil content. Balderdash! It’s brimming with the first-rate, healing, mono-saturated fats. The Aztecs used the luscious avocado as an aphrodisiac. They called the avocado tree the “testicle tree.” The Aztecs thought the fruit Wendell Fowler grown on a 50-foot tree, hanging in pairs, resembled a male’s testicles. In 19th-century sea-faring circles, avocados were known as “midshipman’s butter,” because sailors spread them onto hardtack. Like pumpkins on Thanksgiving, we restrict eating avocados to special occasions. According to Eating Well magazine, enough avocados are consumed on Super Bowl Sunday to cover the floor of an entire football field to a depth

of nearly 12 feet. In our home, they are served in slices with a touch of sweet balsamic vinegar, fresh chopped garlic, sea salt and black pepper. Throughout time, the avocado, a gift of the Universe, has not only been valued as a food rich in vitamin D and potassium, but for its medicinal and skin-soothing properties. Squishing mashed avocados into your hair might land you in the loony bin, but Prevention magazine says this will add luster your hair. Avocados contain 25 nutrients, including vitamin C, folate, vitamin E, vitamin D, ﬁber and unsaturated fats. The sodium-free orbs contain no trans-fats and are low in saturated fat. For health-conscious foodies, avocado oil is acknowledged as one of the healthiest of all food oils, with a high level of mono-unsaturated fat, the “good” kind that helps us to lower naughty cholesterol levels. When selecting, pick one the gives slightly to the touch and store at room temperature. Avocados are outstanding sources of two

beneﬁcial antioxidants, beta-sotosterol and glutathione. Beta-sotosterol is a prescribed anti-cholesterol drug that interferes with cholesterol absorption. Studies indicate glutathione can decrease risk of oral and pharyngeal cancer when it comes from fresh, raw produce. First Cold Press Extra Virgin Avocado or Coconut Oil will be the next “it” food ingredient. The avocado doesn’t begin to ripen until it is picked. Those found in grocery stores are either rock-hard or squishy as a sneaker full of chopped liver. Place them inside a brown paper bag at room temperature for a few days until they respond to gentle pressure much like a peach. Ripe avocados can keep in the refrigerator for four to ﬁve days. Unripe avocados shouldn’t be chilled because they will never mature. Wendell Fowler is a retired chef, as well as an inspirational and motivational speaker.

I have developed a game-improving system for normal and sore/aching hands that is:

(Introductory offer)

Ultimate systems in their lives, but not so good for those that need to interface with many different operating systems. Another “old school” approach is to compress the files before placing them on the flash drive and use a program that will require a password to uncompress the files. WinZip (www.winzip.com ) is one of the long-standing compression utilities that can secure the “zipped” file so only those with the password can view the enclosed files. TrueCrypt is a free, open-source solution (www.truecrypt.org ) that can encrypt data on any storage device (hard drive or flash drive) and can create normal or hidden volumes for additional security. It is fairly easy to install, setup and use but it can get a little techie for the novice. Encryption does have its downsides that you must be ready to accept. If you lose your password/encryption key or the encryption program corrupts the information, getting the data back can be very difficult, if not impossible.

Do you love bowling, gardening, golf, guitar/piano, quilting, playing ball?

of technology. If you’ve ever lost a flash drive that had important personal data on it, you know exactly why. If you have yet to experience that “rock in your stomach,” you may want to take the same measures to minimize exposure in the event you ever lose your flash drive. The first option is to buy a special flash drive that has security built into the unit. Some companies use software security while others are incorporating Biometric interfaces (fingerprint scans) for keeping unauthorized eyes from viewing the contents. Both types of drives can be found at various Web sites, including Crucial. com, Kanguru. com, SanDisk.com, ThumbMax.com and Corsair.com. If you already own a flash drive and have Windows XP Professional or Vista Ultimate, you can use the encryption built into the operating system, but that means you can only view this data on a similar system (it won’t be accessible from Windows XP Home, Windows ME, 98, Linux, MacOS or any other system that does not support the same encryption protocol). This approach could be good for people that only use Window XP Professional or Vista

NORTON UPDATES RELEASED: Symantec has released new and improved versions of its popular Norton Internet Security and Norton AntiVirus products. Of special interest is the addition of Norton Identity Safe to the Norton Internet Security suite. Norton Identity Safe protects users against identity theft and loss of personal information. This version also makes its own security decisions rather than interrupting the user to ask questions they’re not qualified to answer. LiveUpdate will also work in the background, without bothering the user unless it specifically runs into a problem. — pcmag.com

oday’s USB flash memory drives (aka thumb drives or jump drives) are the equivalent to the old school floppy disk but on steroids! If you want to transfer files from one computer to another or take a presentation from home to work or school, a flash drive is the ticket. An average-sized drive these days (1GB) holds more data than a CD and is more convenient and flexible than burning CDs. It can be used as a backup system and works with any computer that has a USB port. Gary Hubbard The portability of Technology the flash drive is also one of the hazards of storing files on it; they can be very easy to lose! Encrypting the files on the drive (which essentially scrambles the data and requires a key or password to unscramble it) makes good sense just in case it ever falls into the hands of an unauthorized user. You often see people with flash drives on their key chains or on a lanyard around their neck to keep from losing these tiny wonders

FOR THE RECORD TOYS

FACEBOOK BAN? U.S. companies trying to figure out how to deal with the proliferating use at work of social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace may want to check the advice released last week by Britain’s Trades Union Congress (TUC). In a nutshell, the TUC is advising companies — in Britain at least — that the outright banning of such sites in the workplace may be something of an “overreaction.” Instead, the group said, it’s much better to cut employees some slack and focus on setting up formal policies for acceptable use of such sites in the workplace. — pcworld. com

BLUEPRINT FOR IMPROVEMENT By Larry Greene, Case Handyman & Remodeling Question: We just purchased home in Carmel with an existing screened-in porch. We are hoping to convert it to a more usable three or four-season room. What issues are involved in doing this and what options should we consider? Answer: Let’s ﬁrst deﬁne the options. A three-season room is a screened-in porch with windows added. A four-season room is basically a full room addition with heating and cooling and insulation. If you can live with a three-season room, you don’t have to worry about any heating/cooling (HVAC) upgrades. Here are the various options to consider: 1. Does the existing porch have an adequate foundation? A poor foundation can lead to settling and major structural problems down the road. 2. Windows and doors: The biggest cost associated with a conversion to a three-season room is the cost of new windows and doors. The least-costly option includes all vinyl windows, while the higher end would include vinyl- or aluminum-clad wood windows. Consider large sliding or gliding windows, which tend to look better and are available in larger sizes.

3. Insulation: If you are converting to a four-season room, you will need the porch to be properly insulated in the walls and ceiling. This involves rebuilding and insulating the knee wall and also removing the existing ceiling and adding insulation and a one-inch air space. 4. HVAC options: The first option is to add a separate heating/cooling unit that is mounted through the wall. These units need to be professionally installed and require an upgraded electrical circuit. They work very well for a porch. The second option is to add ductwork and a new “zone” to your existing HVAC system. This can be costly, depending on the amount of ductwork required. 5. Interior finish options: Are you looking for a rustic outdoor look, or a more refined interior look? A four-season room can use almost any flooring option since it’s basically a room addition. A threeseason room must have flooring that can withstand the change in outdoor temperatures. This usually requires porcelain tile, decking material or a plain concrete slab. Have a remodeling question? Ask Larry Greene, owner of Case Handyman & Remodeling. You may e-mail him at lgreene@caseremodeling.com or call 846.2600.

‘Start with Art’ celebrates what the arts can do By Barbara E. Cohen

Sir Ken Robinson

“Art is a nutrient that is essential for the growth of a city.” Council, the arts in Indianapolis have been a great public investment, generating $468 million in economic activity, bringing in nearly $52 million in government revenue, and supporting 15,000 jobs a year. As summed up by keynote speaker Sir Ken Robinson, an international expert on creativity and innovation who was knighted in 2003 by Queen Elizabeth II for his service to the arts:

Barbara E. Cohen is a freelance writer who covers the arts for Current in Carmel and teaches art history at Herron School of Art and Design, IUPUI and Ivy Tech Community College. Please send comments or story ideas at barbara@i-writersstudio.com.

Someday Carmel will be recognized as a major arts destination in the Midwest, thanks to the Arts & Design District. Until the plan is fully implemented, Carmel could learn a thing or two about public support for the arts by emulating the successes of Indianapolis. Indianapolis’ ventures were on display on Sept. 6, when 1,200 people packed the Sagamore Ballroom at the Indiana Convention Center to celebrate the arts in central Indiana and learn more about the upcoming cultural season. The event, the Arts Council of Indianapolis’s annual “Start with Art,” brought together artists, arts administrators, arts educators, patrons of the arts, representatives from major funding agencies and a host of other interested parties. The theme of the luncheon, “Reframe your mind,” was expressed in a video presentation created by WFYI Productions. The message: Art has a signiﬁcant educational impact in a community. And art feeds the soul of the community as well as of the individual. No less important is the ﬁnancial impact of the arts. As Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson pointed out to the assembled, say what you will, “the arts are an industry.” According to research conducted on behalf of the Arts

“Art is a nutrient that is essential for the growth of a city.” None of this will come as news to residents of Carmel. As the Arts & Design District takes shape, the economic, social and educational impact also will be visible. Among the ideas worth copying from Indianapolis and other cities with successful arts programs: rotating and permanent public art installations, a consumer Web site for discovering local arts activities and online locators for public art and galleries. It’s also not too early to think about awards like the ARTI Awards handed out on Sept. 6, to recognize the participation of corporations, small businesses, volunteers and patrons in improving the city’s quality of life. Speaking of his ﬁrst impressions of Indianapolis, Sir Ken noted, “I didn’t know much about your city before I came, but I’m genuinely impressed.” That’s the kind of buzz Carmel will be proud to generate, too.
