DISPATCHES Fashion award – Carmel High School senior Greg Dugdale will be on-stage at Carnegie Hall May 31 with actress Sarah Jessica Parker and fashion designer Zac Posen to receive a Portfolio Gold Medal and a $10,000 scholarship during the National Celebration of the 2013 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. In addition to the star-studded Dugdale ceremony at Carnegie Hall, Dugdale’s fashion design work will be featured as part of a special twoweek exhibition in Manhattan.

The awards are the nation’s longest running and most prestigious recognition and scholarship program for creative teens.

Everything about Carmel is new to Garret Mathews. But for a man who has made his living by being curious, that’s not necescivil rights sarily a bad thing. Mathews has been a newspaper man since he was fresh out of college, most recently as the metro columnist for the Evansville Courier & Press.

He retired a few years ago and he and his wife have relocated to Carmel to be nearby for the birth of their first grandchild.

His first newspaper job was at the Bluefield Daily Telegraph in West Virginia. During his 15 years as a reporter there, he encountered a menagerie of Appalachian characters so eccentric that the articles he wrote about them seem more like fantastical movie scripts than real-life encounters; a snake charmer who keeps his snakes in a box by his toilet, a 91-year old woman hell-bent on bootlegging whiskey, a furrier who sleeps with her pet bobcat, and survivors of coal mine explosions. With a fearless heart and a ready pen he dove headfirst into this world, making his own assignments, driving miles through the mountains for a story, and yes, even handling some snakes. He has gathered 80 of his most memorable stories into a book called “Favorites.” He also recorded all of his interviews and has compiled them into a double CD entitled “Folks Are Talking.”

A prolific writer, Mathews has penned more than 10,000 articles. He has also written a two-act play entitled “Can’t Find a Dry Ball” which chronicles a season of the down-trodden baseball team, the Evansville Otters.

But of all of his works, the one he is the most passionate about is a play he wrote about the Civil Rights Movement called “Jubilee in the Rear View Mirror” which tells the tale of a young black man who happens to be sharing a Mississippi jail cell with a racist white man. The stories and lessons from the play are the result of dozens of interviews Mathews conducted with men and women who came to the south in the early 1960s to register black voters and fight segregation. To accompany the play, he also produced DVDs of people from both Indiana and Mississippi who lived under segregation talking about their experiences.

The passion behind this project is personal for him. Mathews’ own high school in Virginia was seg-

regated until his junior year, when one black student named James came into his class. He liked James and tried to be his friend, but the peer pressure from the other students proved to be overwhelming, and Mathews was never able to truly and openly be a friend to James. It haunts him to this day.

“Jubilee in the Rear View Mirror” has been produced just once, in Evansville. During that production, Mathews took the entire cast to Greenwood, Miss., for eye-opening, one-on-one interviews with three black men with first-hand experience in the Civil Rights Movement.

“I would love to see the play produced here,” Mathews said. “It was a dark chapter in American history, and kids today need to hear about it. I also think the lessons in it resonate today with other struggles, such as the gay rights movement.”

In addition to seeing the play produced in the Indianapolis area, Mathews would like to present his DVDs to local schools and talk to students about the Civil Rights Movement first-hand.

In the meantime, Mathews satiates his curious nature by exploring the “length and breadth of Hamilton County” with his beagle, Mr. Peabody.

“I am content, because I’ve always done what I wanted to do. My only regret, my unfinished business, would be to someday find James and tell him I wished I could have been a better friend to him,” Mathews said. “That’s my bucket list.”

CarmelFest photos – As CarmelFest 2013 prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary, organizers are looking for old photographs of the event to help commemorate its Silver Jubilation. Anyone with photographs, especially those from the celebration’s earliest days, are asked to drop them by the Current’s office at 30 S. Range Line Road between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The photos will be scanned into a photo database and will be available for pick up at a later date.

Book signing event – M. Katherine Clark, a resident of Carmel, will be available to sign copies of her book, “Blood is Thicker than Water,” at 7 p.m. May 30 at the Fishers Public Library, 5 Municipal Dr. The book is set in Indianapolis, with the two main characters being detectives in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Dept. For more information, contact Travis King at 888-361-9473 or tking@tatepublishing.com.

Midtown redevelopment – Jeff Speck, city planner and architectural designer, will present Midtown – A Redevelopment Plan. Speck, of Speck & Associates, is the designer of the plan for the area between Main Street and City Center which is bisected by the Monon Trail. Speck’s career is determining what makes cities thrive, and he has boiled it down to one key factor: walkability. The luncheon will be June 12 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at Ritz Charles. Reservations are required by noon on June 10 and can be made online at www.carmelchamber.com or by calling 846-1049. Cost is $20 for Chamber of Commerce members and $25 for nonmembers.

Freedom

Getting along

Performing

As we pause around this time of the year to honor freedom fighters, Current spirituality columnist Bob Walters reminds us: “On Memorial Day, we honor those who died for our freedom. At the top of that list, for all of mankind, is Jesus Christ. As long as America trusts in God, its defenders must be allowed, if they so choose, to trust in Jesus Christ.

Current columnist Andy Ray is glad the Carmel City Council is finally addressing the bicycle problem on the Monon Trail, but you may be surprised to read that he believes the problem is that serious bikers don’t use the Monon enough. Go to www.currentincarmel to see what he means.

Carmel’s own International Talent Academy’s ballroom dancers will perform as part of the Indiana Fever’s home game pre-game festivities at 6:30 p.m. on May 31. ITA is offering discounted Lower Level tickets for only $17 per seat, and Indiana Fever donates $5 from every ticket purchased back to ITA. In addition to seeing ITA perform during the pre-game show, every fan attending the home opener will receive a replica championship ring.

Gradfest keeps getting better Commentary by Jeff Worrell

Cue the longstanding tradition; Pomp and Circumstance. On Sunday, June 2, Carmel High School graduates startvolunteerism ing with Renee Aadson and ending with Ryan Zukerman will walk across the graduation ceremony stage while proud parents look on. They will receive several handshakes and then collect the reward authenticating four years of hard work; a Carmel Greyhounds diploma. The next steps they take will hurtle them toward all the world has to offer.

The hurtle part is what got some parents thinking 25 years ago about how to keep our precious graduates safe after their victorious walk across the stage. This year, Jean Freudenthal is the chairperson for CHS Gradfest and another fun, free, exciting and safe evening is planned for the new graduates in the Freshman Center from 8 p.m. to midnight on June 2.

She and her dedicated committee of 25 parents know they carry on a tradition which gets larger and more popular every year. Well more than 85 percent of the Senior Class this year will appear ready to take home their share of food, money, prizes and memories.

Mary Ann Williams has invited 200 volunteers who are to show up during the evening and help with tasks from running the cash cube to emptying trash cans. Kathleen Roop took on the chore

of contacting corporations to secure funding for the event. However, it is traditional that each year, individuals from Carmel go to http://Carmelgradfest.org and commit a few bucks to the cause. That is where the real money is raised as a show of support to keeping graduation night as safe as any other.

The kids get to deck themselves out in special outerwear with a Class of 2013 theme thanks to Bibi Weprish and Wendy DeLuca. Mindy Jasin and Bridget Bonta promise challenging yet rewarding games along with great entertainment that helps lure in that 85 percent. And the prizes. Probably the best part of the evening is watching these kids haul refrigerators, computers, gaming systems and huge boxes of loot to their cars. Everyone leaves happy and glad they came thanks to the prize committee of Suzanne Pfenninger, Khristy White and Cheri DiCarlo. They have been shopping since last August, making sure their dollars go as far as possible.

Jean sums it up best by saying, “All of the hard work is worth it to see our graduates have so much safe fun on graduation eve.” It is not too late to donate or get involved. Contact Jean at 697-8183.

Carmel City Council What happened: Amending barbed wire and electric fence restrictions Council member Sue Finkam reported the Public Safety Committee amended wording such as replacing “prohibited” with “restrictions.” Council member Eric Seidensticker requested city attorney Ashley Alberts determine whether wording required those with fences currently breaking the ordinance to remove barbs or shut off electricity. “Are they being grandfathered?” he asked.

Council President Rick Sharp explained the ordinance requires the “minimal effort of signs on existing” fences while seeking to prevent further barbed or electric fences. He pointed out “the restriction of such fences within three feet of public paths aligns with state law.”

What’s next: Though amended twice during the meeting, the ordinance was tabled for further committee discussions.

What happened: Multi-use path ordinance not approved

news@currentincarmel.com As of press time, Carmel police were awaiting the results of an autopsy performed May 24 on the body of a female found in a police storage facility the day before on North Range Line Road.

Carmel Police Lt. Jeff Horner said police were called to the Public Storage facility at 1099 N. Range Line Road around 4:30 p.m. on May 23 after employees of the facility discovered the body in a car parked inside a storage unit there.

Employees entered the unit because they had not been able to contact the renter for a long time and wanted to survey the unit’s items for auction. They never suspected foul play before they entered the unit, Horner said.

The victim, who is believed to be in her 30s, was found sitting in the driver’s seat, and Horner said all sign’s point to an apparent suicide.

“But we won’t know a cause of death until after the autopsy,” he said.

Check www.currentincarmel for the latest details on this case.

Road closure – West 136th Street between Spotswood Street and Ditch Road will be closed on or after June 3 for approximately 30 days. The closure will occur to replace an old bridge. During the replacement, vehicles will use Towne Road, Main Street and Ditch Road to be detoured back to 136th Street.

What’s next: The ordinance was tabled for further discussion with objections from Ron Carter. “Fellow council members should have communicated concerns regardless of being able to attend the (last) committee meeting,” he said. Carter scheduled the next committee meeting after confirming June 4 at 6 p.m. allowed Seidensticker’s attendance.

Client/Filename:

Council member Ron Carter reported the parks committee’s positive recommendation but Seidensticker halted the vote. “I’ve got some serious concerns about this ordinance,” Seidensticker said.

Seidensticker protested the ordinance as “an effort to legislate common sense.”

He explained the ordinance essentially forbids riding bicycles on sidewalks. He concluded “a 5-year-old on the Monon Trail who didn’t ring their bell as they passed somebody” could incur fines reaching $200. He also pointed out prevalent use of earbuds makes enforcing the use of bells useless.

“I’m all for education, etiquette and rules for safety,” Seidensticker said. “But stop signs can be enforced with current law.” He closed by encouraging “the council to parallel state code.”

“State statute,” pointed out Carter, “is far behind (bike-friendly) communities across the state.” Carter personally invited Seidensticker to the next committee meeting to voice his concerns.

Sharp agreed citizen suggestions highlighted the need for more discussion. Luci Snyder voiced the need for “adequate signage on the Monon.” She explained some citizens didn’t realize the law does not require traffic to stop at every juncture with the Monon. “Traffic slows,” she explained. “Traffic must carefully proceed.”

Math Counts Awards were presented to Joey Heerens and Kevin Liu of Carmel Middle School and Caleb He and Anthony Ji of Creekside.

Prudential Financial’s Rich Bender presented Amber Kriech the Prudential Spirit of Community Award. Bender said Prudential hopes promoting students like Kriech as role models will

inspire others into community service.

Before recognizing Kriech for her Nestle Very Best in Youth Award, Principal John Williams informed the audience of the many awards Kriech has earned for her service work while maintaining National Honor Society academic status. “The heart of leadership is service,” Williams said, “and Amber has made it her mission to be a leader.”

David Liang’s high scores on eight advanced placement math and science exams earned him the Siemens Award for Advanced Placement.

Carmel High School’s Chess Club coach Margaret Winans recognized the team for its State Championship: Yushi Homma, Andrew Kluttz, David Lee, Saiuth Malpeddi, Sameer Manchanda and Joseph Philleo. “This is the second year Carmel High School students have won this championship,” Winans said. “This winning team consisted of one freshman and five juniors, so we hope to be up here again next year.”

Service awards were presented to more than 40 staff ranging from 20 to 40 years of service. The transportation department’s Donald Endres received a standing ovation for his 50 years of service. “A funny thing happened on the way over here tonight,” Endres said, “50 years went by.” He took a moment before thanking the room. “I’m at a loss among my friends.”

CCS names interim superintendent

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com A former Carmel Clay Schools leader will step in as interim superintendent starting June 10. Stephen Tegarden was named to the position by the Carmel Clay Schools Board of Trustees May 20.

Tegarden is no stranger to the role – he was superintendent of Carmel Clay Schools from 1993 to 2000, and also has served as an interim suTegarden perintendent for both Hamilton Southeastern School District and Metropolitan School District of Washington Township.

“Dr. Tegarden has a proven history of success leading our district and serving as an interim superintendent,” said Layla Spanenberg, CCS School Board of Trustees president.

In addition to leading the school district, Tegarden – who will be paid $650 a day - will work with the school board on its search for the next CCS superintendent. The board initiated the search in January but terminated it at the end of April even though three finalists had been named.

Current Supt. Jeff Swensson announced in December he would resign more than a year before his five-year contract was scheduled to end. His last day is June 9.

Carmel Clay Schools board meeting Board members’ report: Superintendent search continues Tricia Hackett announced the superintendent search continues with the assistance of BWP & Associates.

All board members approved hiring Dr. Stephen Tegarden as interim superintendent effective June 10 at $650 per day. Tegarden served as superintendent of Carmel Clay Schools from 1993 to 2000 and recently as interim of Hamilton Southeastern and Washington Township.

Public Participation: Safety concerns, Prairie Trace emotional disability program Five citizens addressed the board requesting the relocation of Prairie Trace’s emotional disability classroom and improved communications to parents regarding the program. Annette Austin emphasized, “We are not here to request the program be removed.” Tricia Beck announced police received 13 calls in less than four months regarding incidents with students in the program. Parents requested the classroom move closer to staff offices to decrease interruption of kindergarten classes and increase privacy of students in the program.

Action: New Prairie Trace principal appointed All board members approved hiring Jill Smith as Prairie Trace principal. Smith is assistant principal at Smoky Row and served as assistant principal at West Clay. Her career includes teaching at West Clay and Towne Meadow. “I’m very pleased with this appointment,” said board president Layla Spanenberg. “It shows how we support and promote our employees.”

Action: Reduction in force/recall policy revisions Indiana law requires teacher contracts omit policies such as reduction in force. With this omission, the district’s human resources department proposed the policy’s inclusion in the employee handbook. Revision followed discussions with legal counsel and suggestions from the teacher’s association. Steve Dillon confirmed Greg Phillips’ statement, “State law requires that we use teacher evaluations instead of seniority.”

Layla Spanenberg stated the association still had questions the policy committee would discuss at another formal meeting.

Announcements: Current superintendent’s final meeting Layla Spanenberg officially recognized Supt. Dr. Jeff Swensson’s final board meeting and thanked him for his dedication and service to the school district. “You’ve shown yourself to be a loyal, hardworking leader,” she said. Pam Knowles emphasized Swensson’s focus on three words he used to shape the school’s district success, “Systematic, systemic and sustainable.”

Dispatches Fundraiser – Main Street Barber Shop, 41 W. Main St., will host the Fourth Annual Ben & Alex Shave-a-thon to benefit Tatum’s Bags of Fun. The event will include more than 10 young men shaving their heads to raise more than $5,000. The Shave-athon will include hot dogs, drinks, shaved ice, temporary tattoos, music and more on May 30 from 5 to 9 p.m.

Come get a shave or sponsor someone who is. Ben and Alex are young men who have been shaving their heads every May since 2010 as a fundraiser for Tatum’s Bags of Fun. In 2010, Ben was inspired by Tatum’s philanthropy and started a simple fundraiser in his backyard to support Tatum as she battled cancer for the second time.

World Blood Donor Day is critical Commentary by Karen Volpe

World Blood Donor Day is June 14. About now, you may be thinking that this information is not important or raise your sleeve meaningful to you and your family, I assure you that it is. The availability of a reliable blood supply is at the core of our nation’s health.

Unfortunately, many of us learn the hard way the importance of available blood. Cancer and car accidents are not planned. We live in a world of instant availability. We are inconvenienced if we have to wait for a table in a restaurant, at a grocery checkout or a red light. I assure you that sitting in a hospital waiting for and needing blood that may never arrive is maddening.

This day, above all others, brings into the light the importance of a world-wide culture of voluntary blood donation. We need to be aware of the continuing need for a constant supply. Reliability is the difference between life and death. When your daughter needs blood products, reliability is the only thing that matters.

In Indiana, we have been blessed with the Indiana Blood Center. The IBC is a non-profit organization that relies on the citizens of Indiana to save, help and serve the citizens of Indiana. It is the perfect way to serve your community, and it costs you nothing. Your one pint donation can serve and save three patients’ lives. Each pint is separated into multiple blood products that can serve a variety of patient needs. Our Carmel Branch is in the Boardwalk Shoppes, 726 Adams St. The professionals at this location are trained and willing to help.

Yolanda Bibbs has worked for the IBC for 22 years. She said, “80 percent of those that donate have a personal connection and an awareness of the need.” She also feels that it is important to expose your children to your donating habits, adding that it is common to assume that “someone else will do it.” Thelma Cunanan has worked with Yolanda for 17 years. They work tirelessly, along

with all Indiana Blood Center employees, to assure that our health needs are met.

Elwood Roeschlein, of Zionsville, was completing a major donation milestone as I visited the Carmel Branch days ago. He now has donated 15 gallons of blood products. He started donating while in the military. He completed his service in 1979 but never stopped serving those in need of blood products.

“I don’t mind doing it,” he said. “I’m glad I can help” I’m glad that Elwood can help, too. In the aftermath of three successful bouts with Leukemia, my very life has depended on Elwood, Indiana Blood Center and all those that have donated blood.

Not only will donating save a life, but it might also save your own. Prior to each session, the donor is given a cholesterol screening, blood pressure, iron count and temperature reading. Visit www.donorpoint.org to schedule your donation or go see Yolanda and Thelma. Your juice and cookies are waiting.

Even though Nancy Irsay’s property is for sale, she’ll always consider Carmel home

By Karen Kennedy • news@currentincarmel.com The pavilion is empty. The cavernous ceiling yawns above and the tables and chairs are tucked away in a back cover story room. The grand stage is unoccupied. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out on impeccably manicured grounds and the daylilies are just starting to bloom. If only those windows could reflect back the glorious past of this building – what tantalizing tales they could tell.

The Robert Irsay Pavilion, along with a 15-room home and 40 acres, is for sale for $3.7 million, but the remarkable history of this property and tales of generosity, friendship and good times had there will live on.

Nancy Irsay enters the pavilion looking cool and composed, despite the humidity, in taupe linen pants and a shimmery cotton sweater.

“Well, this is it! Welcome to the Party Barn!” she says. And so the trip down memory lane begins.

The Robert Irsay Pavilion, affectionately dubbed the “Party Barn,” opened its doors in 1986, just in time to celebrate the Indianapolis Colts Christmas Party. Bob Irsay, Nancy’s late husband and the former owner of the Colts who died in January of 1997 originally conceived of the idea of building a pavilion on the grounds of their 116th Street estate to host team events and create a space for local charities to hold fundraisers. In its early days, it truly was a barn, complete with animal stalls.

“Back then someone actually gave us goats for our barn!” Nancy laughs. “I do love goat cheese, but those animals are less than fragrant; we didn’t keep them long.”

The first charity event was held in the pavilion in 1987 for Christamore House and Little Sisters of the Poor.

“It was fabulous,” Irsay recalls.

“Jug’s (Catering) did steak and lobster. Everyone had a great time.”

When asked whether she remembered any

Bob Irsay (left) and former indianapolis Mayor Bill Hudnut. (Submitted photo)

relationships or marriages resulting from events in the barn, she laughed again and quipped, “No, but with some of the parties we had, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some divorces!”

Bob Irsay and Nancy Clifford met in the mid1980s through mutual friends while she was working as a designer for Paul Harris. Nancy is a gifted artist and she made her living as a graphic designer in Fort Lauderdale, Chicago and Indianapolis after earning a fine arts degree at the Central School of Art and Design in London. She was born in Evanston, Ill., and also studied marketing at Northwestern University. Nancy recalls friends telling her about a man they thought she should meet who had just “moved his business to town.” She laughs as she recalls that they said, “He can be, shall we say, difficult, but he’s nice to his friends.” Despite that, she claims they hit it off right away.

After their wedding in 1989, Bob and Nancy continued to host even more events in the Party Barn, focusing on smaller charities that might not be able to meet the requirements and financial constraints of other venues. Nancy continued to find inspiration for events in her own life, such as the time she was in London and she met a woman who designed dog clothes for Harrod’s Department Store. She thought to herself, “When I get home we’re going to do a fashion show with dogs and their owners to benefit the Humane Society.”

One of the most memorable nights in the Party Barn

occurred when John Mellencamp was slated to perform for the guests as a favor to politician Evan Bayh. As the performance time neared, it came to light that Mellencamp was contractually prohibited from performing in a public forum unless concert tickets had been sold. In a quandary, Nancy finally solved the problem by moving all 150 guests to their house.

“Oh, it was storming outside like crazy, and we all trudged through that storm and crammed into our living room,” she recalls. “And he sang for all of us with no amplification; just him and his guitar. And it was great.”

During the past 17 years, almost 100,000 people have attended 400 events at the Party Barn, raising just less than $9 million for 97 charities, most of them small and local, and often including organizations which benefit animals and the arts, all dear to Nancy’s heart. Charging just $500 to $1,000 per event, Nancy has underwritten the cost of facility’s maintenance and utilities for these events as an in-kind donation. In addition to Mellencamp, many luminaries have attended pavilion events, including authors John Grisham, Kurt Vonnegut and Anna Quindlen, television stars Kelsey Grammer, Lainie Kazan and Morley Safer, politicians from all levels of government and, of course, football stars.

The decision to place the estate on the market has been brewing for her for some time now.

“It’s time to let go of a few things,” she said.

“I’m hoping someone else will come along who wants to continue the tradition here, but there are so many possibilities for the pavilion.”

She is willing to sell the pavilion separately from the house and wouldn’t mind if events continued to happen while she was still living there.

However, the pavilion is built in such a way that it could also be disassembled and moved to a new location.

Bif Ward of F.C. Tucker, Indianapolis, is the listing agent.

“It’s an amazing location and a fantastic piece of property,” Ward said. “Over the years, I’m sure many

13

Nancy and Bob Irasy.

have wondered what’s hidden behind those gates.

I’m hoping that a family will buy it who can love it as much as the Irsays did over the years. There’s an incredible amount of potential there.”

Of the house and beautifully landscaped grounds, Nancy says, “It’s a veritable nature preserve.” Red tail hawks, owls, cranes, foxes, snapping turtles and tortoises have all appeared outside her door, causing quite a stir amongst her five dogs.

Although many have assumed that no more events will occur in the pavilion since the listing of the property, Nancy says that unless a buyer appears right away, she would still consider hosting events through the end of the year and would also host smaller dinner events in her home, as she can seat up to 32 people in her dining room.

As her hectic schedule starts to settle down, Nancy plans to spend more time in Laguna Beach, Calif., with a dear friend of hers who lives there now, and may still periodically return to London, where she still has family. But a piece of her heart will always remain in Carmel.

“I can’t imagine not being here,” she said with smile, looking around the pavilion as if expecting to see old friends coming through the door. “I’ll always have a home in Carmel.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP Let ATI players fly you to the moon

Remember the fallen

It is our position that the intention of Memorial Day should not be diluted by commercialization. It seems swimming pool openings and department store sales are overshadowing what was once a solemn day of remembrance for the tens of thousands of selfless men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives for our country. To most civilians, freedom is protected in a parallel universe as most go about their days without a second thought of the battle front. A son, daughter, parent or grandparent turns into a Troop. At its most tragic, the Troop turns into a number and another flag is lowered at halfmast, many times without fanfare or notice.

According to icasualties.org, during the last dozen years alone, more than 8,000 men and women in the military have perished in either hostile or non-hostile circumstances in Afghanistan and Iraq. Nearly 200 Hoosiers are on the list, including Troops from Hamilton and Boone counties.

War Memorials should be visited, remembrance services should be attended and American flags should be lowered until noon, raised thereafter, lowered before nightfall and stored properly.

In the words of Ronald Reagan, “We will always remember. We will always be proud.

We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.”

Cranky old men Commentary by Terry Anker As a kid growing up, it was still routinely possible to catch showings of “Dennis the Menace” or “The Little Rascals” on Saturday morning television. These were not the animated variety produced by the lot in some anime sweatshop in a faraway subcontinent. Instead, they were live action films (sometimes shorts) often pitting the folly of youth against the stodgy recalcitrance of middle age. Routinely, it would seem, Dennis would find his new baseball in the living room of the neighboring Wilson home. Dennis’ intense focus on retrieving the ball was seldom daunted by the fact that the path from his long line drive to the Wilson sofa came directly through the Wilson’s front room plate glass window.

As an adolescent, I deeply felt the angst of young Mister Menace. He didn’t mean to break the window. In fact, it hadn’t even occurred to him that it might occur. Mr. Wilson, on the other hand, seemed inordinately bitter. Why would he keep the young kid’s ball? Did Wilson covet the

ball for his own? Did he dislike little boys or baseball? Fortunately, as with much of early television, Mrs. Wilson would intervene and negotiate a truce. Dennis would get his ball, Mr. Wilson would get a freshly-made glass of cold lemonade, and Mrs. Wilson would enjoy knowing that she was the generational peacekeeper.

But today, I find Mr. Wilson looking back at me during the morning shave. Case-in-point: it is increasingly difficult not to scold teenagers on the streets near my own car not to text and drive. I want to honk the horn and shake my finger! Put that down! Don’t you know how dangerous your action is? Can Mrs. Wilson broker a deal, or have I simply come to know that Mr. Wilson was right all along?

Actors Theatre of Indiana has a bona fide hit on its hands in “My Way, a Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra.” We’re suckers for anything Sinatra, truthfully, but the way director/actor Don Ferrell, actor Michael Dotson and actresses Mary Jane Waddell and Cynthia Collins carried the show had us all hyped up – before, during and after the show.

The three-piece “lounge” trio led by pianist Brent Marty was perfect for a wonderful trip down memory lane; its musicianship was subtle, but it blew us away. The show covers all the Chairman of the Board’s “eras,” and it moves right along with great historical anecdotes and terrific vocal deliveries punctuated by solid harmonies. The cast interacts with the audience, and it isn’t shy about playing the comedy card. Wrap it all together and this effort, conceived by David Grapes and Todd Olsen, becomes a thoroughly entertaining, toe-tapping and subconscious sing-along that endures well after the last note has sounded.

It’s a ring-a-ding-ding of an evening in The Studio Theater on the campus of the Center for the Performing Arts. Remaining shows are May 30 and 31, June 1-2 and June 6-9. For ticket information and performance times, call the center’s box office at 843-3800 or visit www. actorstheatreofindiana.org. You’ll be glad you did.

••• As we went to press, the City of Carmel Streets Dept. was doing a bang-up job of repairing and readying Main Street in the Arts & Design District for repaving, working between Range Line Road and 4th Avenue SW. The roadway previously was cracked and buckled in several spots, but the paving crews were righting the situation.

What’s impressive is that the work was being done primarily during off-peak hours, which is something that not every municipality in our midst considers … but should. Interruption of traffic was minimal and signage was more than adequate. Nice job, folks.

Be aware but not wary

Editor, I recently read the April 30th letter to the editor describing a “lockdown drill” at Carmel elementary school. I had Reader’s view to read it twice, I was so shocked that this was a real thing happening in my community.

What a ridiculous, reactionary response to such a rare and horrifying occurrence. The obvious parallel that comes to mind are the futile, fearmongering atomic bomb drills of the 1950s.

How have I never heard of this? How long have these been occurring? Can parents opt their children out of participating? I can’t imagine

sending my kids into a school system that has this sort of practice.

The world is an uncertain place, that is true.

But why spend your life living and reacting in fear? I’m not advocating denial or ignorance. I can see why it would be important for teachers to be trained in what to do in the event of an intruder, but why involve the children? Their innocence is beautiful and inspiring. Why do we adults look to take that away from them so quickly?

Be aware, not wary. Look both ways before crossing the street, but don’t wait for a police escort.

Where is our Hoosier spirit?

Editor, What happened to Hoosier hospitality? What happened to Carmel hospitality? I feel ashamed as a native Hoosier at Reader’s view how we have treated a relocated family to the Carmel area.

I recently meet a family that relocated from Long Island New York. This is a family of six that lost everything in Hurricane Sandy. They got out by the skin of their teeth. They just haven’t lost material possessions, but all of their memories.

No pictures, birth certificates, marriage licenses or any documents.

They made the move to Indiana to start fresh.

They have had many tragedies in their life leading up to Sandy. They arrived and called the Red Cross of Indiana for help. The Red Cross explained they could only support them emotionally. They had no monetary donation to give them. They have been sleeping on air mattresses

and have no other furniture. They left with the clothes on their back. They are very proud New Yorkers and feel asking for help is not the New Yorker way.

The only bright point was the Carmel Schools.

They welcomed them with open arms and have gone out of their way to help the children transition into a new school. Thank you to Prairie Trace Elementry, Clay Middle School, and Carmel High School.

My sister and I have been begging people to help this family out. When I say they have nothing I mean they have not even a spatula, towels, pans, nothing. I have had little to no response to my plea.

Whatever happened to Hoosiers coming together and helping a fellow neighbor, a fellow American?

I can’t believe my fellow Carmel resident doesn’t have an extra blanket, an extra pan, anything!

What happened to our Hoosier Spirit? (To help this family, please email nben1234@aol.com.)

Nancy Benjamin, 46033

Time to come up with a solution Editor, Susan Brooks is proud of the “No Budget, No Pay” Act. The problem is it is unconstitutional.

The 27th Amendment Reader’s view reads, “No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.” Congress is to be paid on the last day of each month. One of the reasons why the 27th Amendment is important is to prevent Congress from being coerced and bribed into voting for legislation by leadership.

In addition, this could set the precedent for pay being withheld for other legislation like “no assault weapons ban, no pay” or “no tax increase, no pay”. Congress then has an incentive to vote for a budget even if it is not in the best interest of you the constituents. In the end we may still end up with a budget failing to pass

both the Senate and House and members of Congress still getting paid.

What we need are REAL solutions not gimmicks. American’s are sick of the short-term solutions meant to make Congress look like they are serious on the budget. The irony is “No Budget, No Pay” was in the same bill that suspended the debt ceiling. If Susan Brooks was serious about the debt, she would have fought against the debt ceiling being suspended. Now that Congress has suspended the debt ceiling they will likely do it again in the future and eventually push for the complete elimination of the debt ceiling.

Bribing Congress to vote for legislation is not a solution. It is time Congress and Susan Brooks get serious about our debt and government spending and come up with real solutions!

Were you one of the hundreds, dare I say, thousands, of women who experienced a less-than-perfect Mother’s Day? Then, call a do-over! I am hereby giving you permission to reschedule Mother’s Day on a day that actually works into your schedule, where no children are sick, and when you aren’t hosting an elaborate brunch for your mother-in-law.

Because that’s just bull.

You get one shot all year to enjoy yourself, to feel special, to perhaps take a break from the daily grind of parenting, and you end up with a soccer game and a head cold? No dice. Or, like my infamous MD of 2003, your husband ditches you with vomiting toddler twins so he can attend his siblings’ graduation ceremonies? Capital B. Capital S. My favorite is when you’re stuck having everyone over to your house (which translates into an exhaustive weekend of cleaning and cooking) to celebrate someone else’s Mother’s Day. Double bullship.

That’s why I began several years ago calling do-overs. Sometimes I have to wait until after the fact, once I’ve assessed the damage. Other times, I preemptively move MD to a more convenient day. Take this year, for example. I knew I would be returning from a birthday party in Ohio and as such, stuck in a dilapidated mini-van with no A/C and two

tweenage girls suffering from sleep deprivation and sugar withdrawal. I also knew I’d have to attend at least one sporting event, probably two. None of this fit into my supposed day of leisure and relaxation, and unfortunately, there was little I could do to change the situation. So I moved MD to the following Saturday, when I had relatively nothing on the books and Doo at home to cover.

On a side note, Saturdays are superior anyway because shops have longer hours, there’s no church-skipping to feel guilt over, and all nail salons are open. Why Mother’s Day is on a Sunday, I’ll never understand.

Probably a man’s decision.

But back to my point, there’s no need to feel bitter about a Mother’s Day that sucks or has the potential to. Just redo it. As much as we’d like to and as hard as we try, we can’t always control what goes down on the second Sunday in May. No need to panic. Just call the audible and move on. And if your husband whines, remind him he can do the same for Father’s Day. Control your destiny, ladies, and take no bull! Peace out.

Bananas from the bottom up Commentary by Mike Redmond

Fifty-eight years old and I just found out I’ve been doing something wrong my entire life. humor Turns out I didn’t know how to properly peel a banana.

I read about it on the Weird Wide Web, where everything is true, and found out that by peeling bananas the customary way – that is, grabbing the stem and pulling it downward to zip the skin away from the fruit – results in a less-than-optimal banana experience. Which pointed me to something else I didn’t know – namely, that a banana could be an experience and that it could be optimized.

Anyway, here’s the deal: By using the old stem-grab-and-pull method you run the risk of mashing the top of the banana. True enough. I always figured that the occasional mashed banana top was part of the deal (or, as we now call it, experience) and that if it was really that much of a problem, you could always cut a little notch in the banana skin to help you get the thing started.

But wait, said the Weird Wide Web. There’s a better way.

All we have to do is follow the example of our fellow higher primates, the great apes, to see how a banana should be peeled: From the bottom.

It works like this: Hold the banana upside down. Go to the blossom end and separate the sections of peel. It should open quite easily if the banana is ripe. Pull off the peel and presto, there’s your banana, 100-percent intact, no mushy end to mar its wholesome banananess.

Don’t tell me I can’t learn new tricks at my age. I may be an old dog, but I know an improvement when I see one.

Which is really the point. Study after study has shown that human brains respond well to teaching in the so-called middle and old ages. I say so-called because you can’t know what your middle age was until you get to the end of your life, and because old age is a state of mind. I know people half my age whose closed minds are making them old (and cranky) before their time.

Which gets us back to the proper way to open a banana. I think the real fun isn’t so much to be found in a perfectly-peeled banana; it’s in learning a new and better way to do something so prosaic. Which is good, because truth is, I’m not going to eat them.

I’m really not all that fond of bananas.

Tribute to Sinatra brings cool warmth to theatre

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com

At the heart of “My Way,” lies a cool warmth.

The “Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra” offers an intimate setting for fans of showtime! the iconic and legendary performer whose influence and popularity spanned generations and has become part of the fabric of our culture. Presented by the Actors Theatre of Indiana, it is a tribute to the man who some have called the greatest entertainer who ever lived: an unequaled combination of style, class, and voice.

“It’s definitely about the style and class,” said Don Farrell, the show’s director and cast member.

The show, which opened on May 10 and runs through June 9, is featured at the Studio Theatre in Carmel’s Center for the Performing Arts. During a sit-down chat, Farrell, seated next to fellow cast member Mary Jayne Waddell, explained the charm and nostalgia the intimate surroundings offer the audience.

“The intimacy evokes strong memories,” he said enthusiastically. “Frank Sinatra sang the songs to the generations of so many lives. His songs touched so many. Sometimes, we, the performers, have to get out of the way and let the audience bask in their nostalgia.”

“For me, in this space, it is so intimate that

the audience reacts,” Waddell said. “Each song stirs a memory. You can hear a sigh from the audience, and it can happen during any part of the show. It can happen during the intro to one of the songs.”

Conceived by David Grapes and Todd Olson, “My Way,” is performed in a lounge-style setting which places the audience in the middle of the action. The show is divided into two acts and features Sinatra classics such as “Strangers in the Night,” “I Get a Kick out of You,” and “Fly Me to the Moon.” A total of 56 songs are heard, some of them in a medley by Farrell, Waddell, Cynthia Collins and Michael Dotson.

“The first act features what are considered the torch songs, whereas the second act features more of the storytelling songs,” Farrell said.

Yet, Farrell makes it clear there are no actors playing the role of Sinatra.

“This is about the music of Sinatra,” he said.

“No one is playing Sinatra, because no one can be Frank. There is only one Sinatra.”

So, what is it that continues to draw new legions of fans to Sinatra and what is the fascination that he holds for generation after generation?

“He was good to the core,” Waddell said.

“Reading Sammy Davis, Jr.’s biography offers a lot of insight into what a great friend Frank

was, and he was very helpful in the fight to end segregation. He stood up for what he believed.”

“Guys looked up to him,” Farrell said, “they wanted to be like him or be him, and women fawned over him. He never went out of style, because he was constantly reinventing himself.

He made it cool to be a performer. Even now, many younger artists are finding that and discovering him. They admire the way that he was able to craft a song, his phrasing.”

As for the production, Farrell feels that part of the appeal of the show lies within the connection between the cast members.

“I have been looking forward to this production,” he said. “There are four friends coming together to present this tribute. There is so much camaraderie and so much chemistry between the four of us and the material is awesome. It is amazing!”

Waddell agreed, noting that the enthusiasm from the audience energizes the performers.

“Even backstage, you can feel the energy and the excitement,” she said. “When you are a performer, you can forget your day when you are on stage. That’s what we want the audience to be able to do – to forget their day, to be taken away for a couple of hours!”

Sweet Potato Salad

serves 6-8 Ingredients 4 large sweet potatoes - cut into large bite-sized cubes, 2 medium red peppers sliced thinly, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh garlic, Salt and pepper, 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoon Colemans dry mustard, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple, drained well on paper towels, 3-4 diced scallions Directions: Place sweet potatoes and red peppers in large bowl and mix with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes, stirring once, until tender and slightly browned. Cool. Whisk mayonnaise and both mustards in a bowl. When potatoes and pep-

pers are cooled to room temperature, blend all ingredients together and chill before serving.

Chopped pecans add a nice texture and taste.

Cooking tip: An easy tip for removing the odor of the scallions/onions is to wash your hands thoroughly and then rub a stainless steel spoon on your fingertips.

Couscous Salad

serves 8 Ingredients: Prepare couscous as directed: 2 cups couscous / 2 cups water / 1 teaspoon olive oil. Bring water and olive oil to a boil. Turn off heat, stir in the couscous and cover.

ARE YOUR KIDS GETTING WHAT THEY NEED IN SCHOOL? As a parent, you are your child's first and most important teacher. You know your child best, and your input should be considered by the school at every opportunity. Parents frequently do not know what their children's rights are in terms of the education and services offered by the schools, and they often can feel intimidated by school staffs. Your child has the right to a free appropriate public education under federal law.

If you suspect that your child may have a disability, let your child’s school know. Parents have the right to be involved with every decision regarding their child’s education, including whether your child may need special education services. If your child is struggling behaviorally or academically, his school may be required to do an evaluation to see if he qualifies for special services. Trust your instincts: you know your child best. The worst thing to do is nothing. If you wait to seek help for your child, his frustration and sense of failure could continue to break down his self-esteem, while the window of time for meaningful intervention narrows.

Each child qualifying for services are required by federal law to receive an Individualized Education Program, or IEP. IEPs are put together by a team of school staff and schools are required by law to include parents in this process. However, parents often feel as though they have little input to their child’s IEP because they are unaware of what their child’s rights are.

This can have a serious impact and their child's progress can be impaired by a lack of knowledge. "What we have is what you get" is not what the federal and state laws provide. Schools receiving federal funding are required, by law, to devise an IEP for each child qualified for services based on that child's individual needs (not on the school's staffing or budget problems) that is reasonably calculated to confer a meaningful educational benefit.

Anything less than that does not comply with the federal law, and is actionable through a due process proceeding. Examples of how schools commit violations: 1. Failure to find a child eligible for services despite evidence that the child was struggling academically or behaviorally.

2. Failure to develop an appropriate IEP based on the child's individual needs.

3. Failure to implement the IEP as written.

4. Failure to involve parents to meaningfully participate in the IEP development process.

5. Failure to prevent punishment of the child for actions or inactions that are manifestations of the child's disability (caused by the child's disability).

6. Failure to train staff and aides in the child's areas of disability.

7. Predetermining placement and services before the case conference committee meeting.

8. Failure to conduct necessary evaluations of the child.

9. Failure to provide education and services in the least restrictive environment.

10. Failure to offer extended school year services to the child.

11. Failure to allow a child with special needs to participate in extracurricular activities to the same extent as his non-disabled peers.

Supplements might help healing Commentary by Dr. Barry Epply

Q: I am having a facelift soon and want things to go as well as they can. I have read about taking arnica and bromelain supplements to speed healing aesthetics and make my recovery quicker. Would these be good to take before surgery?

A: These are common non-pharmaceutical supplements for healing that some plastic surgeons endorse and prescribe for surgery including facelifts. Arnica is a well-known extract of the mountain lily flower that has been used for decades to prevent or clear bruising related to any form of trauma. Taken one week before and one week after surgery, it helps prevent some of the bruising that will occur as well as speeds its resolution after surgery. Arnica is most commonly used as an oral tablet but can also be applied directly to the bruised site as a topical ointment.

Bromelain is an extract in oral or liquid form from the pineapple fruit that has anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly used for sports injury, trauma and surgery to decrease swelling.

Contrary to popular belief, eating pineapple will not increase your levels of bromelain as it exists mainly in the stem of the fruit. My feeling on both supplements is that they do no harm, are relatively inexpensive, and may provide some recovery benefit, so I do advise my patients to take them particularly for any facial surgery.

StorAmerica

Q: I was wondering when I got a breast lift plus augmentation whether I can get the scar around only the areola. I have double DD breast size and a lot of sagging since having my son who is almost a year.

A: Having DD size breasts suggests that you definitely do not need an implant but a significant breast lift. A periareolar type breast lift only provides a very limited lifting effect and is almost used exclusively in the small sagging breast when the effect of the implants helps considerably in filling out the loose breast skin and providing a lifting effect of its own. As a stand alone procedure, a periareolar breast lift, also known as a donut mastopexy, does not create a significant breast lift. By your description you are in need of a full breast lift that involves a horizontal and vertical tightening and creates the classic anchor scar pattern. While every woman would like a breast lift with limited scarring, that does not appear to be an option in your case.

There are always two misconceptions that many patients have about breast reshaping surgery – breast implants can lift up a sagging breast and small scar breast lifts can create a significant lifting effect. Both are rarely true.

Promising Futures celebrates 40 years – Promising Futures, Hamilton County’s premier agency supporting youth and families, is celebrating 40 years of service this year. Since its launch in 1973, the organization has changed names and locations, but its primary mission of helping kids in need has remained the same. In 1973 there were very few resources available for kids in trouble so a group of concerned volunteers banded together and bought its first group home in 1975 which was staffed by Mr. and Mrs. Gary Zion. Since that time, Promising Futures has evolved into a multi-faceted resource center that provides many options for troubled teens and their families. For more information or to learn about volunteer opportunities, visit www.promisingfutures.org.

St.Vincent Sports Performance moving

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com Clay Terrace will soon have a new tenant – St.Vincent Sports Performance will make the move to the Hamilton coming soon County retail center by summer’s end.

It’s a move that made sense to the organization.

“With our growth and the diversity of our program and offerings – and also with the advent of the number of high schools we provide athletic training services to – as well as the work we do with St.Vincent Carmel and Fishers’ Hospitals, we were looking for a Hamilton County location,” said Ralph Reiff, SVSP executive director. “Clay Terrace became an option and worked out to be something we felt would be a good fit for us.”

SVSP will maintain its primary facility on West 86th Street while closing its East Side sports performance office and West Carmel Drive physician’s practice, and merging the two into the 26,000-square-foot Clay Terrace location. The new office, to be located in the space formerly occupied by Circuit City, will be home to 10 staff members, including two doctors.

Reiff believes the high visibility and easy accessibility of the new office will be beneficial.

“We get a lot of customers from north of Hamilton County, so this gives us access into Boone

County and out to the Geist area so it is the center of the universe really for us as far as providing services,” Reiff said. “And, we can’t discount our partner schools such as Carmel Clay Schools, Zionsville, Sheridan, etc. – our services will now be closer to them.”

There was never any hesitation about a move to a retail center.

“Not for a minute. We are really a retail business within a hospital model. You can walk in without any sort of referral or prescription,” he said. “We think as people park their cars and go to other various stores, we will fit right into that.

We find right now that our clientele will spend time at Traders Point Mall and drive back and forth from our facility. Now, they can park the car and walk and do their shopping, which we think will be an attractive setting for our clientele” The new facility will continue to offer all the current services.

“It will be a different configuration of space to allow us to basically make it more efficient for our associates so we can provide services in a more efficient manner,” Reiff said. “There won’t be anything brand new or cutting-edge that we don’t already have – just a ‘smarter’ space.”

Reiff estimates the move won’t take place until Labor Day. The Lawrence Township and West Carmel Drive locations will remain open until the new space is ready.

Still the cure for stress

Commentary by Annie Rogers

So I admit it, the morning of March 16 I had a catastrophic meltdown. Spring Break madness brings with it 14-hour days travel in my business. I was exhausted from work and still trying to run a household. So when I woke up and discovered that the kitchen I had just cleaned the night before had been the apparent site of an epic battle, I snapped.

Generally, I am fiscally responsible. It is hard for a single mom with five kids and a grandson at home to justify spending money on herself.

However, now I felt unappreciated and overworked. Now I needed to treat myself before I needed to be institutionalized. Thus, I started my quest for the lowest airfare anyplace warm.

Unbelievably, it turned out to be Cancun.

So, I woke up Rory and told him to pack. We had an hour before we needed to leave for the airport. We made it just in time to be the last to check in for our flight. As we waited on the tarmac, I got a confused call from my oldest son, Cody, asking if we were headed to Mexico. It didn’t take long for him to tell from my voice that I felt no pity for those I left behind.

We landed in Cancun and took a taxi 45 minutes south to Playa del Carmen and checked into the all adult, all-inclusive, Ocean Maya Royale.

The property itself was not incredibly large nor

luxurious, however, it was lovely and clean and has a great price point. The staff was gracious and the Premium Club brought the extra benefits of a separated beach section catered by personal wait staff, premium drinks and in room wifi.

Live musicians wafted saxophone music through the dining area at breakfast and guitar music at lunch. No one was loud or obnoxious and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

The town of Playa del Carmen has changed a lot since I was there 15 years ago. It has seen enormous growth and the quaint village of artisans and fishermen is quite hidden amongst the myriad of new vendors sporting souvenirs and trinkets. Gone are the sand streets, but instead, cobblestones line 5th Avenue and high-end clothiers with garish florescent lights line the upper avenue. However, if you stroll to the end of the avenue where the painters and craftsmen still showcase their wares and twinkling white lights adorn the winding tree-laden alleyways, you can sip a glass of wine, savor some delicious seafood and decompress for a moment realizing that a relaxing vacation is truly the best cure for stress!

Passing the neck test

Commentary by Nikki Blaine

Clearly, you have no desire to look like a stylish turtle or find yourself being the striking giraffe walking in Zionsglam chic gal ville. Now do you? So, let’s access our neck to avoid basic Fashion Fiasco 101 when dressing the concerns of your neck. Have you ever thought about your neck? Of course you have, and you are fully aware of the length aren’t you?

Let’s learn to play by the rules: Short Neck: The lesson here is learning how to elongate your neckline. This can be achieved by choosing shorter earrings. They will visually create a longer neck and add space between your ears and shoulder. The more space you create around your neck, the deeper your neck line will appear. A current hot trend is wearing scarves around your neck. If you lengthen the look of the scarf it will aid in elongating the neckline. Another tip is avoiding the “buttoned up” look. Try wearing a camisole or tank under your shirt to open the neck area.

Long Neck: The lesson here is how to shorten your neckline. Whenever you see horizontal lines, you have suddenly shortened the visibility of anything. Here are some quick tips to shorten your elongated neck. Tying a scarf close around your neck; wearing a choker or close fitted necklace; wearing a boat neck cut or any shirt that’s cut close to your neckline; and also longer earrings. Something as classic as popping the collar

will also add the same affect and it aids in you looking cool and hip.

So, before you stick your neck out on a limb, consider these fashion tips to avoid a fashion fiasco. I am your Glam Chic Gal signing off!

Change is an inside job Commentary by Kristen Boice Where does your worth and value come from? We live in a society that looks outside of ourselves to feel good relationships about who we are. We compare ourselves to others and feel less than and not good enough.

We will never feel enough because there is always someone better looking, richer, smarter, thinner, prettier, more successful, wealthier, has a bigger house, more fit and the list goes on. So, how do we change this?

Change truly is an inside job. It takes self-work to start the process. We have to take responsibility for our own stories and begin to unpack who we really are. Over time, we will stop looking to others to tell us we are good enough or worthy.

We have the ability to write our own ending by taking our power back. It begins with you.

We continue doing the same things and behaviors even if it makes us feel bad about ourselves because it’s easier. Our brains like repetition and patterns. This does not mean they are healthy for us.

There are some essential steps to begin the process of change.

Ask yourself some key questions. Do you really want to change? Are you committed to whatever it takes to make the change? Are you ready to give up and let go of something that no longer serves you even if it makes you un-

comfortable? Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone? Are you willing to move through the fear to get to the other side?

Own your own stuff. We can’t change anything unless we own it first. For example, if you want to create healthier relationships, then it’s important to take an inventory of how you have contributed to the issues. Maybe you need to improve your boundaries, how you communicate or your negativity. Growth happens when we are uncomfortable.

Write down possible solutions. When you say, “I don’t know.” I challenge you to look deeper. I believe we don’t give ourselves enough credit, and we often have a gut feeling and talk ourselves out of it.

Watch the self-talk. This can be the key killer to making change. The more negative self-talk, the more we won’t attempt to make a change.

Write out the negative statement and then the opposite statement. We are not our thoughts.

Inaction keeps you stuck. Not taking any steps, even if they are baby steps, will keep you stuck. Try doing things differently every day.

Make an intention to focus on what you want.

Keep trying. Never give up. You are worth it!

Question: “I hear people mixing up ‘well’ and ‘good’ on a constant basis. Can you explain how to use each of them grammar guy correctly?”

Answer: Yes, I can.

I’m afraid this one is often pretty ingrained into people’s heads the wrong way, however.

“Well” and “good” can both serve as adjectives, adverbs and nouns. As an adjective, “well” means “in good health” or “free from illness,” while “good” means “of a favorable character or tendency.” “Good” can also mean “free from injury or disease” in its adjective form (we’ll touch on this later). As an adverb, “well” indicates that something was done in a satisfactory way, while “good” is a synonym for “well” typically used in conversational speech or as an intensive. Finally, as a noun, “good” means “that which is morally right” or “righteousness,” while “well” means a hole in the ground filled with water or oil and from which wishes may spring forth (if you believe in that sort of thing).

If you’re selecting an adverb to follow an action verb, the choice is clear: Go with “well.” Jim writes well. Jane dances well. Tom cooks well.

You get the idea. When “good” follows an action verb, it should typically be a reference to a beneficial work: charity, community service, etc. In these cases, one is “doing good.”

Many verbs, however, can function as both

action and linking verbs. The easiest example would be sensory verbs: touch, taste, smell, feel, etc. If you’re wearing perfume, you might smell good. However, if you have a cold, you might not smell well. In the first case, “smell” is a linking verb. In the second, it is active. You must ask yourself whether the subject of the verb is performing or receiving the action. If the subject is performing the action, i.e. doing the smelling, then follow the action verb rule and go with “well.” If the subject is receiving the action, i.e. being smelled, you’ll need to ask yourself which word’s definition better fits what you’re trying to say, as both “well” and “good” can follow linking verbs as predicate adjectives.

As a final note, many people wonder whether “I am good” is an acceptable response to the question “How are you?” As both words can follow verbs as predicate adjectives, most dictionaries would say that, yes, it is an acceptable reply. In this instance, think what you are being asked. If you are responding about your physical wellbeing, go with “well.” If you are talking about your mental state or general state of being, “good” is an acceptable, and often more accurate, choice.

Learn how to properly use the correct collar Commentary by Lisa Beals

If you are a pet parent who is known through the neighborhood as being dragged down the street by your dog, you may be considering a head collar for your pet.

Canines The two better-known brands are the Gentle Leader and the Halti. They differ from traditional leash/collar combinations in the angle of pull that is exerted on the dog.

With a traditional collar, when the dog attempts to pull you down the street, the collar exerts pressure on the dog’s trachea as you tighten your grip on the leash. The result is that your dog will often start coughing as if he were choking, yet he continues to pull.

The Gentle Leader has a slip loop that encircles the snout and fastens behind the head.

When the dog begins to pull, pressure is created on the back of the neck resulting in relaxation as the dog attempts to pull forward.

The Halti is very similar, except that it has an extra piece that attaches from the nose to the collar.

The typical dog has not spent much time studying physics, but he will

tend to respond to an applied force by exerting an opposite force.

Therefore, the force is on the back of the neck, not the throat.

The concept of these types of head collars is also based upon a horse’s brindle; if you can steer the head, the body will follow.

Head collars are not a substitution for obedience training but in fact they are often used by trainers to supplement leash training. “Gentle” leading is a key concept in the use of these head collars. They should not be used to jerk the dog in the direction you want him to go. Excessive force or “leash pops” from any leash or head collar can damage the dog’s cervical spine. Dr. Julie Kaufman, a veterinarian specializing in animal chiropractic care (www. chiropracticforanimals.net), states, “Since research indicates that it only takes the weight of a dime to depress a nerve’s function by 50 percent , it’s understandable how a tug on a narrow collar could cause major pressure and trauma to a small area of the neck. If you catch the neck at a critical angle, you could blow a disc, cause nerve or muscle injury or worse.”

A properly used head collar and solid obedience training may greatly improve the quality of your dog’s daily walks.

SWITCH IT UP! Everyone gets the impulse from time to time to change their appearance. Is now your time? All it takes is a simple hair cut or fresh color to make you feel like a new person!

The short bob is one of the most popular haircuts again this year. This hair cut is perfect if you are looking for not only a trendy style but an elegant look that is practically timeless.

Not looking to chop your length? Add bangs to any length of hair for an instant style update.

Hair color can have a dramatic effect on an otherwise plain hair style. Rich natural brown colors are ultra-hot this year. Natural blondes and reds are big as well. Strategically placed highlights, lowlights, or panels can accentuate texture and add tons of character to your style.

LATHER UP! For most people, the act of shampooing is merely the routine of cleansing the hair of dirt and other contaminants. However, shampooing your hair is much more than that.

Always check with a Salon 01 hairstylist and get their opinion before making your final decision on what new trend works best on you. After all, they are professionals in this industry and their opinion can help you make the right decision!

HOT HAIR IN A FLASH! Just because you are pressed for time doesn’t mean you can’t look sleek and stylish when stepping out! Here are a couple tricks to keep you looking stylish without spending a lot of time.

There is a wide range of specialty shampoos on the market and it is important to make sure you pick one that is right for your hair type.

Your stylist understands your hair type and texture, so it is pertinent to get a professional recommendation for which shampoo works best for your hair needs.

Whether it is color protecting, such as Salon 01 Concept’s True Hue Anti-Fading shampoo or Aquage’s Volumizing shampoo that you need, your stylist will be able to recommend the perfect bottle for you.

Shampoos also can help prevent damage to your hair caused by chemicals or the elements. Healthy hair begins with the proper products and regimen for at-home maintenance.

First, a simple way to change your look is to merely flip your part. Try a low side part, or just parting on the opposite side, then smooth down the fly-aways with a drop of shine product (try Salon 01 Concept’s Shine and Define) to keep your look smooth and sleek.

Furthermore, you can quickly give your ‘do some personality by adding a fun hair accessory. A flashy headband or silk scarf will make a glamorous statement without a lot of hassle. Stop in Salon 01 today to check out the latest selection of hair accessories!

‘I must have peonies’

Commentary by Holly Lindzy

May 2013…Garden decent, most things returning. However, bloom envy stalks through me.

Every turn is photo-worthy gardening – tulips, crabapples…

Right now, the lilacs are in full bloom. And, I don’t have a big, fragrant and terribly wonderful lilac. Yet, I must have blooms for my vases. So I have no choice. Tonight, I’m marauding lilac blooms.

No lilac is safe from it, either, be it common, white or Sensation. I’ll take one of each, please.

Well, maybe not the dwarf Korean. I don’t DISlike it, I just don’t prefer it.

A few blooms from a huge, neglected roadside lilac will fill my house and family with joy. And, yes, I’m probably stealing (or whatever), but I’m not ashamed of it. As soon as people know what you’re doing, they’re like, “Hmmmm… I’m totally gonna do that, too.”

Anyway, I only rob neglected lilacs, abandoned shrubs. It’s not like I steal from my friends or neighbors (unless they’re neglecting it). And I’m almost doing the lilacs a favor, since I’m obviously going to prune them correctly. Corrective pruning, that’s what I’ll call it.

Robbery, schmobbery. Some things are just worth it.

I absolutely NEED to be up close and personal with flowers. Inhaling the fragrance and admiring the veining, feeling the petals and checking out the foliage. I realize this is not everyone’s idea of a rousing Saturday night, but enjoyable nonetheless.

I guess that’s why some people plant things

purposely to cut and enjoy in their home, such as Oriental lilies, zinnias and the like. You can throw together some great combos on the fly, although some flowers, like daffodils, won’t tolerate the company of other flowers. They ooze some gook that causes other flowers to wilt – another thing I kind of envy.

Anyhow, by tomorrow my house will be filled with lilacs and the bloom envy will subside.

Except the peonies are just about to bloom, and I don’t have any peonies. Must have peonies.

Leather can be a practical design foundation

Commentary by Vicky Earley

For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US

Leather furnishings are a constant in interior decorating. Whether you see yourself in a rich, traditional Ralph Laurendecorating type room or a So-Ho contemporary-type town home, leather can fit your décor.

When selecting leather, remember moderation. It is a fabulous foundation but needs to be tempered with textiles. Avoid the sofa/loveseat combination at all costs.

One of my favorite leather vendors, Coopers and Rogers, has introduced amazing leather colors from vibrant orange to sultry lilac. Every shade sets a mood and makes a statement.

For a designer look, consider using the leather as welting on sofas, chairs and pillows. It’s an unexpected element that has the added advantage of durability.

When making a leather selection, remember that all hides are not created equal. As always, do your due diligence before writing the check.

The quality piece will still look great and improve with age while an inferior grade will reveal its true self in no time.

Have fun with your leather choice by considering a vibrant color on a traditional frame for an unexpected twist. A traditional dye on a contemporary frame takes you to the edge of modern without pushing you off the cliff.

Although leather is one of the easiest materi-

manufacturer’s instructions. A recent seminar from a Cooper’s and Rogers’s seminar revealed the following care instructions: Most leathers are protected by a clear top coat that seals the surface from moisture and soil.

When your leather piece needs to be cleaned, start with clean, distilled water and a natural sponge or cotton cloth. Use a light touch on the affected area as you don’t want to soak the leather. Doing so will create another, larger stain.

Rubbing the area will spread the stain and push it farther into the material so dab with a light touch. The goal is to transfer the stain from the furniture to the cloth rather than push it around.

If a night of buttered popcorn ends up in an oily stain, it can usually be removed, but you need to act fast. Apply a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder to the area and allow it time to absorb. Wipe the powder off with a dry cloth and repeat the process until all the oil has been absorbed.

Leathers are forgiving when cared for properly but not all stains and scratches can be dealt with at home. Leather care experts can be your best friend when it comes to a long and lovely relationship with your leather furnishing.

als to care for, it is important that before doing anything to your leather you always defer to the

New flooring, cabinetry, wall and ceiling finishes give the entire first floor an updated feel. (Submitted photo)

Whole-house remodel a success Commentary by Larry Greene

ORIGINAL HOME: Built in the late 1980s, this home in the Foster Ridge neighborhood on the east side of East Carmel, was indoors due for a remodel. The owners have lived there since 1993 and raised three kids in the home. “The home needed upgrading,” said the homeowner. “We knew we were going to stay in Indiana, and since we like the house and the neighborhood, we decided to remodel.”

DESIGN PHASE: The design team was brought in to redesign the entire first floor as well as the master bathroom. “I wanted a different look, and every room needed attention. It was easier to do everything at once,” the homeowner said.

A minimalistic, clean look led the style for the home, including painted white wood work and dark hardwood flooring. Removing walls to create a more open floor plan and repurposing unused rooms were the themes of the final design plan. “We were not using our dining room, so we turned it into an office. We also did not use the formal living room, so we turned that into what we call The Player’s Lounge for games.”

KITCHEN DESIGN: “I wanted the kitchen to be more open and to have more cabinets,” the homeowner said. “The old cabinets seem to just gather dust, so we went for in-laid white cabinetry. We had the soffits removed, and we enlarged the island so it could accommodate both a cook top and a serving area. Removing the half-wall allowed us to bring in a much larger table. We now have new kitchen appliances which are very easy to clean.”

Every room needs attention.

LAUNDRY ROOM: Like many recent laundry room remodels, the focus was on organization.

“Before the remodel, we had open shelving and clutter. We wanted to be able to organize everything into cabinets. We added a refrigerator, which took the place of a closet, so we added cabinetry to take its place.”

MASTER BATHROOM: The project involved replacing a small shower and garden tub with a large shower area. “We have a tub on the same level, so we do not miss the one we had. Also, I wanted more cabinet space, but I really like the look of pedestal sinks. So, we added wall cabinetry to the bathroom.”
