CRC ordinance could be fought in court

By Robert Annis • rob@youarecurrent.com

It’s not might be fought in court. known if an earlier ordinance – alMayor Jim Brainard told the lowing the city council to approve Carmel City Council that parts of any new debt by the CRC – could an October ordinance that gave the be challenged as well. council more power over the CRC Brainard expressed hope that conflicted with state law, councilors he and the council could work say.

Now information request with the city that the refinancing is complete, last week seeking all relevant ecouncilors fear the administration mail correspondence concerning will seek to nullify their leverage Sharp the CRC. The city has not yet against the CRC. responded to the request.

“He didn’t say anything until after CRC Executive Director Les Olds and the ordinance was passed by the council four other members of the CRC were supand signed by him,” Council President posed to become city employees as part of Rick Sharp said recently. “Afterward, he the city’s Carmel Redevelopment Authorexpressed some concern that parts of the ity on Jan. 2 but have yet to be added to ordinance were in violation of state law.” the city’s payroll. A salary amendment Brainard would not specify which parts of authorizing the additions was tabled durthe ordinance he was talking about. ing Thursday’s special council meeting There are at least two spots in city

after a last-minute discussion between Brainard and Councilor Luci Snyder about its legality.

The discussion was yet another example of the confusion surrounding the redevelopment group, as officials have massively different expectations regarding the city’s oversight of the CRC. Clerk-Treasurer Diana Cordray expressed her frustration with the CRC and the administration last week, complaining about a lack of communication and transparency. CRC documents were removed from the city’s locked records storage and returned to the CRC’s Main Street headquarters at the behest of the mayor, Cordray said.

On Jan. 2, $3,950,000 in CRC funds were transferred to the city’s coffers as part of the transition, according to city spokeswoman Nancy Heck.

Sharp admitted the council might be the first to instigate court proceedings if the CRC continued to operate as if it were business as usual.

“That would send a bad message to the council,” Sharp said, adding it would also likely further sour future dealings with the mayor.

Carmel Chamber voices support for proposed gas station news@currentincarmel.com In a memorandum released last week, the Carmel Chamber’s Business Issues Committee and Board of Directors, including Chamber President Mo Merhoff, voiced support for a requested rezone and proposed Ricker’s gas station at 146th Street and Gray Road.

“Businesses providing safe, legal services, who are willing to incur the expense of high-quality design and the creation of a preservation to provide substantial residential buffer space, should be actively recruited and supported in Carmel,” according to the memorandum. “The Carmel Chamber urges your support for this project.”

The memorandum also says the rezone “makes good business sense” and “the addition of strong businesses providing needed services to Carmel should be encouraged.”

The Chamber’s memorandum also cites the low acreage of the

Artist Rendering development, the distance from nearby residences, the amount of environmental elements in place to ensure leakage protection and an estimated $2- to $2.5-million fiscal benefit for the community as further reasons for its support.

Et cetera City app aims for late February launch COMMUNITY

by Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel Community Services Dept. director Mike Hollibaugh announced that the city’s smartphone app should be launched by late February.

“It has taken longer than we planned to bring it to life,” Hollibaugh said. “We’ll be working the bugs out through early February so it will be middle to late February before we are fully live with it.”

The app will be a free download available for both iOS and Android users.

“This app will allow citizens to use a mobile phone or tablet to inform the city of problems, including logging photographs,” Hollibaugh said.

Council member Ron Carter expressed dissatisfaction with the project’s progress at the year’s first council meeting.

Hollibaugh stated that official development of a smartphone app started in September 2012 with App-Order, an application development firm based out of Las Vegas.

“It’s been three to four months,” he said. “It takes time to develop an app that will also track all of our cases and prep form letters.”

Hollibaugh said the project emerged from discussions between Councilor Carter and Mayor James Brainard.

Discussions highlighted a need to expedite citizen concerns to the department of community services.

Once discussions included the department, members initially considered a web portal software system. Hollibaugh explained this fell short of their CALL MATT

goal for a solution with a “broad level of accessibility from multiple platforms and devices.”

Scheduling conflicts caused additional delays.

Quality customization required the input of all department inspectors.

Additionally, the customization process took longer than anticipated.

“It is our preference to take a little longer to develop an excellent product for our citizens and our inspectors rather than roll out an app that doesn’t fit our needs and may require further development,” Hollibaugh said.

While cities such as Phoenix, Ariz., and San Antonio, Texas, use App-Order’s citizen reporting application to manage graffiti issues, App-Order has worked with community services to customize features to reflect the needs of Carmel.

“We are working with App-Order based on their success with this specific type of application, related to municipal code enforcement and property maintenance software,” Hollibaugh said. “App-Order fit our program goals for a user-friendly app solution with a well-developed case management component. It was also very reasonably priced.”

According to Hollibaugh, App-Order’s track record with municipal clients provided the project an instant platform allowing for time and money saving. Overall, the price to the city will be less than $3,000 annually.

Carmel residents will continue to be able to contact community services by phone or e-mail.

CHS places sixth in national math contest – Last month, students from Carmel High School placed sixth in the 2012 Ciphering Time Trials, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment and Testing. Coach Linda Jones prepared students for the last major competition of 2012, consisting of ten rounds in which they had three minutes to solve three problems. The problems in each round covered a range of difficulties in diverse topics, challenging the most-experienced students to answer all three questions within the time limit and requiring less-experienced students to quickly decide which problems they’ll need to skip. Individual awards were also given to several members of the CHS team. In the 12th-grade division, Vaibhav Vavilala and Harsha Vemuri tied for 19th place. In the 11th-grade division, David Liang placed sixth and Yushi Homma was 20th. Miles Dai placed 14th in the 9th-grade division.

Carmel Arts Council starts fundraising campaign Commentary by Jeff Worrell Paige leaned across the fence into her best friend, Amber’s Carmel backyard to ask if she had done it yet.

“No,” Amber said, “But as soon as the kids get off the computer, I am all over it. When I heard it was just $5, I knew this was going to be the best $5 I spent this month.”

“Don’t you know it, girl!” Paige shot back. “I can’t believe the amount of work those ladies at the Carmel Arts Council get accomplished on such a meager budget. I was just at the World’s Smallest Children’s Art Gallery to view Brook’s classroom paintings. What a gift to our community that place is.”

“You mean that cute little yellow building in the Carmel Arts & Design District?” Amber questioned. “Don’t you know it! And when we went there last year, there was this nice lady with a distinguished British accent telling us about each student’s work.”

“You must be talking about Doreen Squire Ficara. She is the executive director for the Arts Council. Along with her faithful committee, they have come up with this $5 campaign in order to raise funds to keep the council going. I guess they lost a good portion of their funding recently. So, in less than two minutes, you can slap down $5 and help out.”

“Just two minutes?” Amber could hardly believe it was that easy. They were longtime friends,

but sometimes Paige was known to exaggerate.

This dialogue has been a reenactment of an actual conversation, although the names have been changed. Believe it or not, it really is that easy. Carmelites “in the know” are going to tweet, text, email and tell their neighbors, just like Paige and Amber, about this upcoming opportunity to support our very own Carmel Arts Council at www.power2give.org/indianapolis.

On the left side of the screen, click Carmel Arts Council then update info. Five dollars may not sound like much, but to the Carmel Arts Council, it makes you a major donor.

On the website you will see two projects underway, and you can be assured exactly where your $5 will go. The money raised on Power2Give will help supplement the Council’s already limited budget in order to use other funding sources to operate and maintain the Art Gallery, Carmel High School Spring Art Show, Holiday on the Square, Historical Building Plaques, Young Performers Showcase, Veterans Day Essay Contest and general promotion of the arts in Carmel.

Do what Amber and Paige did, but grab the computer before the kids do.

State of the parks: FlowRider, disc golf and luminaries

By Lindsay Labas Carmel Clay Park and Recreation 2012 was a busy time at the Carmel Parks and Recreation Dept. Surfing the waves in Carmel, the No. 1 best place to live, and the East Woods frequently made headlines in Carmel during 2012.

The Waterpark became home to the FlowRider, the first simulated surf machine of its kind in Indiana. With more than 75,000 in attendance at The Waterpark this past summer, 14,000 FlowRider waivers signed, visits from 48 states and 14 countries, the FlowRider proved a hit with the public and media.

Extended School Enrichment had a total of 2,089 participants, a 5-percent growth from the previous year. The Summer Camp Series was expanded to ten total weeks and had 2,440 happy campers attend.

This year also brought the completion of some large projects in our parks. The Central Park East Woods opened its doors in November featuring more than 2 miles of additional trails, overlooks and interpretive signage. A nine-hole disc golf course was installed at Lawrence W. Inlow Park. The Skatepark received surface improvements and new rail additions. And, public feedback was sought in numerous meetings regarding what amenities and features to include within the North Campus of Central Park.

10 | January 29, 2013

It was a big year for events and partnerships as well. The Fall Food Festival & Benefit brought in $1,100 to help fund scholarships.

More than 2,000 luminaries and more than 2,000 guests filled the walking path of Central Park for the first ever Luminary Walk in December. Exciting new partnerships were also formed with Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre, the Carmel Runners Club, and Dwight FreeneyProCamps.

If you think all of that was exciting, let’s peek ahead to what awaits in 2013.

This year brings new, groundbreaking projects including the opening of the 146th Street bridge on the Monon Greenway, implementation of a disc golf course at Hazel Landing Park, design of Central Park West Commons playground, West Park Master Plan, improvements to The Waterpark overflow parking, rentable Cabana spaces within The Waterpark, adoption of the Central Park North Campus Master Plan and construction plans for a dog park, sport field improvements and shade structures in playground/sand wash off area in Founders Park, and the beginning of the Monon Greenway resurfacing project, a two-year commitment … just to name a few.

Government

Carmel City Council – Jan. 24 What it means: Resident Don Sentir requested the council reject this ordinance. “There’s no support for it,” he said. At its Jan. 14 meeting, the Utilities, Transportation and Public Safety Committee discussed this ordinance which appropriated funds for Hunter’s Creek streetlights to be paid by residents. The committee advised the council to reject this ordinance.

What’s next: Every council member present opposed the ordinance. There will be no appropriation of funds for streetlights in Hunter’s Creek.

What happened: Elimination of court costs imposed on tickets What it means: Carmel’s city judge, the Honorable Brian Poindexter, addressed the council to explain the technical correction to this ordinance. The amendment officially permits the city court to not impose court costs on parking and false alarm tickets. Without this amendment, processing tickets has been complicated. “A parking ticket here,” Poindexter explained, “is sometimes more difficult to resolve than some of the armed robbery cases I tried in Marion County decades ago.”

After 17 years, Clerk-Treasurer Diana Cordray continues to focus on transparency, technology and responsibility to the taxpayer

Beyond the addition of LaserFische, the city transitioned to electronic payroll in 2006, becoming one of the first cities in the state to do so.

Opinion Pence right on taxes; now, return surplus

Indebted It is our position that selling bonds to refinance the City of Carmel’s redevelopment debt was the right thing to do. Carmel’s refinancing bonds sold at 3.24 percent, for a total savings through refinancing of $75 million. The sale included taxable and taxexempt bonds. It is certainly a vote of confidence in the city’s financial stability that the bonds sold quickly during one of the worst recessions in years. Standard & Poor’s said the outlook on Carmel’s AA+ bond ratings was “stable” and should remain the same for the two-year outlook due to Carmel’s “detailed focus on long-term planning” and the city’s “healthy economy,” and the city’s fiscal management was described as “good.”

The question remains, “What is a normal amount of debt for a city to carry without raising taxes?” And, it appears that since Carmel agreed to provide a general property tax back-up to obtain a lower interest rate that a property tax hike could, but probably won’t, happen. With all the “sexy” redevelopment projects occurring in Hamilton County, we must continue to maintain vital infrastructure like exemplary schools, police and fire protection and aging neighborhoods to continue to attract and keep the caliber of tax payer/resident necessary to “fuel the redevelopment fire.”

Exemplar Commentary by Terry Anker Famed basketball coach Ron Meyer is quoted as saying, “Your example’s not the main thing, it is the only thing.” While I don’t subscribe to the belief that life’s complexities can be reduced to a slogan that would comfortably fit on a bumper sticker, aphorisms do serve a valuable purpose. They allow us to separate a single thought upon which to focus our attention from the din of our daily routines.

Is it true that the example we set, whether for our own children or for the communities in which we live, is the “only” thing?

Can we disregard all the other variables that define a person and chose to draw sweeping conclusions from a single attribute? Would it be more accurate to say that setting a good example is a “good” thing, and setting a bad example is a “bad” thing?

Certainly, the example that we set is routinely followed by those behind us. A father who abuses his children routinely raises

children who become abusers. An employer who fails to foster trust within her company can rarely rely upon the trust of her staff, even when essential. Yet, can we hope to control the model we are leaving behind?

Does perception solely lie with perspective?

Or does our reputation rely upon an average – not the events of a single day but instead the accumulated effort of a life’s work? And if we fail to set a clear and positive path, can we recover from the failure to restore our trajectory?

In spite of seemingly ever more complicated lives, is it possible that some things are not as difficult to get our hands around as we might indulge ourselves to believe? And if so, what is the example that we want to leave behind?

“Government should only collect what it needs.” So said Indiana Gov. Mike Pence during his State of the State address last Tuesday.

We could not agree more. Pence proposed a 10-percent, across-the-board cut in Indiana’s personal income tax rate from 3.4 percent to 3.06 percent. After the cut, Pence said, “Indiana will be the lowest-taxed state in the Midwest.”

We’ve heard arguments against this proposal, with some of the concerns coming from his Republican party. There’s concern in the party and elsewhere that we need to maintain a surplus in a shaky economy, but, truth be told, whenever a government produces a surplus, it means one thing: Its citizens have been overtaxed. Are we to trust our government with that surplus, or does it make sense to give that money back to hard-working Hoosiers? You probably know where we stand on that. So, Gov. Pence, give it back, and let that be the first step in eliminating the tax altogether. Should the state economy slow, then state government needs to cut back, just like the rest of us have to do in our personal lives when times get tough. History is undeniably clear; when government has money available, it will be spent. Let’s remove temptation.

••• While testifying last week before Congress for the first time since the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi that left four Americans dead, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton actually took responsibility for the failures that led to those deaths, but not before ripping Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) with this: “Of course it was a terrorist attack! …

We had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or because of guys out for a walk one night and decided to go kill some Americans?

At this point what difference does it make, Senator?” It makes a difference, Mrs. Secretary, because the truth matters. To us.

Compromise?

Commentary by John Accetturo

The biggest word thrown around today in politics is “compromise.” It seems that if politicians are unwilling to compromise, something is wrong with them. Some politicians believe they can’t compromise based on certain promises to voters and/or their moral principles; others just don’t want to.

If you don’t think politicians like to compromise, look at what is happening to marriages in our society. A divorce rate well higher than 50 percent definitely indicates that people are choosing not to compromise in their personal lives, either. So what makes us think it should be different in politics? Compromise sounds good, but it doesn’t necessarily give you a solution that produces the best results or even results that you can live with.

Look at the latest vote by Congress on the fiscal cliff. Yes, it was a compromise by both sides, regardless of whether you like it. I recently was asked if I thought things were going well in Washington. I said it depends; if you are on the receiving end of things, you might think it is great. On the other hand, those who are paying more of their money in taxes probably don’t.

One of the major issues to the public is that we really do not know what is actually happening

in these political compromise deals. I doubt the majority of working individuals realized the fiscal cliff deal would result in a 2-percent reduction in their paychecks.

The same problems exist at the local level.

In the recent refinancing compromise to bail out the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, Carmel taxpayers who knew little about the deal packed the council chambers, telling the council to vote for it. I regret to say that, even after attending all but one of the City Council’s Finance Committee meetings, I didn’t know the refinance package would include making no principle payments until 2025 on the $119 million being borrowed.

So why is the public so sold on this political compromise? I believe seeing political compromise makes a lot of people feel good because it resolves a conflict. The lurking danger in making people feel good is that the compromise doesn’t really resolve the problem and may actually create bigger problems. So my recommendation on political compromise is “buyer beware.”

Thanks for asking?

Editor, I enjoyed reading your opinion commentary about public participation. You concluded your piece with a question: “So, what is it you care about?”

I would like to take a moment to answer that in the hopes you will help me raise awareness about a safety issue near my house on Cherry Tree Road, south of 146th Street. Going south on Cherry Tree Road toward Cherry Tree Boulevard, there are sidewalks much of the way, except for where the sidewalk ends and takes up again on the other side of a creek. The lack of a pedestrian bridge here results in people of all ages risking it across the bridge alongside cars, most of which travel above the posted speed limit. As we aim to make Carmel friendlier to active lifestyles, I hope we can look at areas like

this that would be well served with connecting sidewalks and pedestrian bridges. A lot of new homes have just been built here, and more are coming.

Additionally, it would be nice to see the partly started sidewalk finished on Cherry Tree Road between 146th Street and Cherry Tree Boulevard. The heavily wooded road dips down and curves and makes walking there alongside cars dangerous.

Along the same lines, there is no pedestrian light to cross 146th Street from Cherry Tree Road, so for those of us that want to walk up to the Kroger or Dillon Park, we are playing chicken with cars there as well.

Thanks for asking, Kathy McCormick, 46033

Isn’t this dog his dream?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson As most of you know, my husband Doo recently fulfilled his dream of owning a Labrador puppy named Libby. For me, however, she’s more of a living nightmare. Here’s where we currently stand: The fun started Friday with the spaying of the aforementioned Libby. I came home from work to find Doo on the floor soothing a very sad, very drugged-up dog. She didn’t even bark; just a pathetic whimper as she stared at me through her protective post-surgery cone of shame. In that moment, I actually felt sorry for her.

The feeling passed quickly though as Doo jumped up and said, “Well, I’m off to dinner with my parents. Don’t let her run, don’t let her play, watch for vomiting and fever. I’ll be back later.” Whaaaat? Yes, his brother was visiting from out of town, but how is it fair to make me the primary nursemaid to a pet I never wanted mere hours after she’d had her mommy parts removed and well-before I’d had a chance to funnel a goblet of wine? Why does Doo get to swig margaritas while I’m left to worry that I might accidently let “his baby” bleed out?

I survived the evening, as did Libby, though I’m not proud of the choice words I had for Doo (so much for that New Year’s Resolution).

By the following morning though, I’d gotten

over the whole mess and was fairly helpful (and tolerant) the rest of the weekend.

Then Monday morning arrived with extreme puppy yelping. Shoving Doo, I told him to go take care of “his dog.” He refused. “She just wants to play. She’ll go back to sleep.” Fine.

Only she didn’t. 3:30, more barking, more shoving. In fact, every thirty minutes until six, highpitched yaps resonated through the house followed by the low mutterings of supposed reason from my husband.

When I finally stumbled downstairs for coffee, I was greeted by a scene that brought back Godforsaken memories of twin toddlers left alone too long with dirty diapers. Libby hadn’t wanted to play; she’d needed to go outside! Her kennel had three separate “accident” piles. Gagging from the stench, I marched back upstairs and LET DOO HAVE IT. I realized later I might have been overly dramatic and apologized. But I’m still harboring some resentment over the fact that I seem to be the one having to deal with all of the dog issues.

At least I can safely complain to all of you. I, and I’m sure Doo, thanks you! Peace out.

Body of proof

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Now that I’m almost 66, I’m starting to worry about my abs. I don’t remember worrying about my abs in the ’80s or the ’90s.

Actually, I don’t remember anything about the ’80s and ’90s. That’s something else to worry about.

Abs, by the way, refers to your abdominal muscles. If you thought those were called ams, you probably need to learn a little lingo before you hire a personal trainer.

Surveys show that most people hate at least one part of their body. All magazines display perfect male and female bodies. I believe that if you contacted a reputable gastroenterologist, he would tell you that people who have stomachs as flat as those in the photos cannot digest food.

I hate my own stomach, or more correctly, my belly. This is where my abs are supposed to be, but instead it looks like a foam rubber pillow there. When I see men with six-pack abs, I want six-pack abs, too. I usually just settle for a six-pack. I think you see the problem.

For a long time, I hated my hair. People kept asking me if I was losing my hair. Not really. I knew exactly where it was. In the sink.

About 15 years ago, I had a hair transplant,

which is sort of like what happens when a very sick person dies. “He’s gone to a better place,” people often say. That’s the same with my hair.

I don’t have more of it, but what I do have they put in a better place. I’m sure that’s more information on this than you really need.

I’m also not happy with my ears. I think they stick out more than they should. My wife says I’m crazy and to be that obsessed with my own looks makes me seem very elfish. She meant selfish. I guess Freud wasn’t all wrong.

After President Obama was elected, I felt a lot better about this.

I also think my arms are too skinny, my thighs are too heavy and my eyes are too deepset. My shoulders aren’t broad, and my chin is weak.

The interesting thing is that if you were walking down the street and saw me, you’d probably say, “Hey, he’s not a bad looking guy.”

Now you know better.

Don’t follow barium with Chinese food, seriously Commentary by Mike Redmond “Here,” said the nice lady in the scrubs.

“Drink this.”

She handed me a cup of what looked like thin spackle. Tasted like it too.

Mmm. Barium for breakfast.

The occasion was a full work-up at a local hospital – a chance to look at all of my systems and see which ones were okay, which ones were underperforming and which were – well, I was going to say operating beyond expectations, but that doesn’t seem likely at my age.

The day began way too early and way too hungry. You have to be fasting for this sort of thing, you know – the old “nothing to eat or drink after midnight” routine. They mean it, too. Bite a fingernail and they’ll tell you to come back when you can follow the rules.

The fasting thing is tough for me. For as long as I can remember, I have been a person who wakes up hungry. When I was a kid, I was known for jumping out of bed and going straight for my cereal bowl, getting the Quisp dished and the milk poured, and only then remembering that it might have been wise to visit the bathroom first.

So I was not in the best of moods to begin

B

with when the large array of medical mechanics began enacting their voodoo rituals on me.

It started with giving blood. Lots of it. After that came the electrocardiothingie, where they stick rheostats onto your body and wire you up like a Silvertone console radio. I could have made it a lot easier on everyone by trimming my chest hair. No need, said the lady putting on the stickers. “Yes need,” I said when she pulled them off and took large clumps of fur with them.

Then came the crowning achievement of the day, the upper GI X-rays with the aforementioned barium breakfast. If you’d like to try this at home, simply blend 12 pieces of blackboard chalk with a quarter cup of water. Gulp it down and you can spend the rest of the day feeling like you have a big hunk of modeling clay trying to move through your system.

(Note: Do not eat a large Chinese dinner on top of this stuff. Trust me on this one. I was up all night muttering various imprecations in Mandarin, a language I didn’t know I spoke.)

Love or hate musicals, this one’s for you

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com The Actors Theatre of Indiana will kick off the second half of its 2012-2013 season Friday with “Musical of Musicals (The Musical!),” the gut-busting musical parody that has charmed three continents.

The “Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)” is a musical about musicals. In this satire of musical theatre, one story becomes five musicals, each written in the distinctive style of different masters of the form, from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim.

“If you love musicals, you’ll love it because you’ll see a lot of things you’ll enjoy that poke gentle fun in a loving way. If you hate musicals, you’ll love it because it makes fun of all the things you hate. It’s enjoyable for two different points of views,” Director Richard J. Roberts said. “It’s five little shows that are each 10 to 15 minutes long. It’s constantly changing so you won’t get bored.”

The musical stars four seasoned performers: ATI founders Cynthia Collins, Don Farrell and Judy Fitzgerald, as well as Dave Ruark, who is making his ATI debut. Assisting Roberts with musical direction is Brent Marty.

“We have a terrific batch of people. Everyone in the show knows the musical theatre world, has seen all of the shows,” Roberts said.

“The entire team is an all-star team,” Farrell said of the cast and crew. “When you have all of these people involved it’s immensely funny.”

The basic plot of the show centers around www.currentincarmel.com

Hotel Transylvania • PG, 91 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd Even in an extraordinarily weak year for animation, “Hotel Transylvania” did not receive an Academy Award nomination for best animated feature. And it’s no surprise: this derivative monster tale featuring Adam Sandler is a Frankenstein-like assemblage of bits ‘n’ pieces from other movies.

Actually, Frankenstein himself is here (voiced

by Kevin James), along with Dracula (Sandler), the Wolfman (Steve Buscemi), the Mummy (CeeLo Green) and a rogues’ gallery of every other creature feature from the past 80 years.

The set-up is that they’ve all come to the hotel for their once-a-year celebratory bash, centered around the birthday of Dracula’s daughter, Mavis (Selena Gomez).

Mavis is in her rebellious teenage phase – it

happens around age 118 for vampires – and wants to venture forth and see the world. But Drac and the rest of the gruesome crew say it’s too dangerous, what with all the humans out there with their torches, pitchforks and paranoia. Then the red-blooded problem arrives on their doorstep in the form of Jonathan (Andy Samberg), a dim-witted backpacker dude.

The animators did their job creating a visually vibrant world, but the script has all the life of a vampire with a stake through its heart.

Can surgery remedy my tired looking eyes?

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley Q: Dr. Eppley, I have very thin skin under my eyes and they are puffy. I always look so tired and worn out. Just curious if surgery could correct this?

A: The puffiness under your eyes is a common problem and is due to intraorbital fat that is now sticking out. This is a typical development that occurs as we age. Normally the fat around the eyeball is contained behind the eyelids by certain supportive tissues. As we age these tissues weaken and the fat begins to protrude against the lower eyelid. This creates lower eyelid puffiness or bags. With time, these lower eyelid bags can become quite pronounced.

Because fat has a high content of water, these eye bags may be bigger in the morning or after eating foods with high salt contents. While some people have these bags naturally even as early as their teens, most people develop them to varying degrees after the age of 40 or so.

This fat removal is a common component of most lower eyelid blepharoplasty procedures. If one does not have any or too much loose skin, the fat can be removed from inside the eyelid.

When loose and sagging skin needs to be removed and tightened as well, an external trans-

24 | January 29, 2013

cutaneous lower blepharoplasty technique is used. Both techniques can result in a significant change that remedies that tired look.

Q: Dr. Eppley, I would like information about breast augmentation. I have breastfed two of my children and my breasts sag considerably. I compare them to a much older woman. It is very difficult to buy bras that fit well without padding, and I am not happy with the way I look shirtless. I would like to know about my options.

A: Based on your own description of ‘my breasts sag considerably,’ it sounds like you would need some type of a breast lift if implants were placed. Breast implants have no capability of lifting up a breast and moving the nipple to the center of the breast mound if the starting position of the nipple is below the lower breast fold. Therefore you have to think about the trade-off of scars for fuller and uplifted breasts.

You will also have to consider whether you would want saline versus silicone breast implants. I would be happy to look at any pictures that you want to send to give you a more exact recommendation. But for now, I will assume that you need full breast lifts with implants.

Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

Community Physician Network joins Measure Up, Pressure Down campaign – Community Physician Network has joined more than 120 medical groups and health systems on a new national campaign aimed at improving high blood pressure prevention, detection and control. Called Measure Up, Pressure Down, the campaign leverages the coordinated care delivery systems of members of the American Medical Group Association, who have pledged to work toward achieving a goal of having 80 percent of high blood pressure patients in control of their condition by 2016.. “We are thrilled to be collaborating with healthcare groups across the nation to keep our patients with high blood pressure in the best health possible,” Pat Rankin, M.D., chief medical officer at CPN, said. “The Measure Up, Pressure Down campaign offers a team approach to diagnosing and treating a common health risk factor, so we can help our patients achieve better outcomes.” According to a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, one in three, or 68 million U.S. adults have high blood pressure and less than half of patients have their condition adequately controlled. High blood pressure contributes to nearly 1,000 deaths a day and accounts for an estimated $156 billion in health care services, medications and lost productivity.

Some policies automatically restrict coverage Commentary by Andy Warren Question from Shirley B. from Fishers: My mother recently had her jewelry box stolen and didn’t find out until she filed a claim that there was a set limit on how much she could claim in stolen jewelry. This limit was not adequate to replace what she lost. Is this common?

Response from Andy Warren: I hate to hear that about your mother’s claim. Unfortunately, that situation is very common. A standard homeowner’s insurance policy automatically restricts coverage on a variety of different types of property. The other problem that can happen is your personal property limit being used up by items that your policy did not include in the first place.

You can avoid these problems by meeting face to face with your independent insurance agent to create a scheduled personal property endorsement and adding it your homeowner’s policy.

The schedule can include anything you want to include, but many of the items below are typical.

You have automatic coverage for newly acquired property, but be sure to update your schedule to include any new property within 30 days.

Some of the common property classes excluded or limited by your policy: • Jewelry, watches, furs and precious or semiprecious stones. The typical limit is $1,500.

Schedule these items.

• Musical instruments, cameras, silverware, golf equipment, fine art. These items

are not usually limited, but can eat up your personal property limit very quickly.

Schedule these items.

• Cash, bank notes, coins, precious metals that are not jewelry. The policy limit on these items is typically around $200. Keep this stuff in the bank or a safe deposit box.

• Securities, evidences of debt, letters of credit, manuscripts, personal records, passports, tickets and stamps (including computer software). The limit for this property class is typically around $1,500. The limit includes the cost to research, replace or restore information from the lost or damaged materials.

• Watercraft of any kind, including trailers, equipment and motors. You should have a separate policy for a boat, but your home policy typically sets aside $1,500 if you don’t.

• Property of roomers, boarders and other tenants. This type of property is excluded.

They need a Renters Insurance Policy.

This list is not comprehensive, so please make sure you meet with your independent agent to discuss any additional concerns you may have.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Real Estate Issues and Refinancing In many divorce cases, retaining possession of a certain asset can be emotionally charged for one or both parties. Frequently, the most emotionally-charged asset for division is the marital residence. While division of personal property, including furnishings, decorations, and the general items accrued during the period of the marriage is inherently difficult; typically, the most difficult decision for divorcing couples involves the marital residence. Memories, both good and bad, are encompassed within the house and the financial investment one or both parties made to acquire same can all lead to positions and decisions based primarily on emotion and sometimes overlook both practicality and feasibility. However, a marital residence is a significant asset and there are a number of ways in which these issues may be resolved.

Staying in the Residence. If the parties can agree that one of them will stay in the marital home and the other will vacate, the most immediate practical issue is to determine if both parties are on the mortgage and the deed to the residence. If so, a significant consideration will be when the retaining spouse is able to refinance the property, removing the other spouse’s name from the mortgage, transferring the deed, and retaining sole liability on the new mortgage. For the departing spouse, this is essential to consider, as the decree itself does not provide any defense against a mortgage company not receiving payments and seeking foreclosure. In today’s climate, however, practicality requires that the parties take an intelligent look at their finances and arrive at a reasonable time frame. It is also unlikely that the departing spouse will be able to obtain a mortgage of their own so long as they are attached to the marital residence. Depending on the value of the home, a refinance can also provide an influx of cash to influence other division within the marital estate.

Given that many houses are currently upside down against their value, it should also be considered that a spouse who retains such a residence is, essentially, taking over a marital debt and not a marital asset.

Selling the Marital Residence. An obvious option to dealing with a marital residence in a divorce would be to sell it.

26 | January 29, 2013

Current in Carmel

While this has the appearance of a simpler solution, the sale of a residence under these circumstances, like any other, requires finding a buyer and obtaining a price sufficient to satisfy all mortgages and liens on the property. Otherwise, the parties will have to come to the closing to pay off the remainder of a mortgage. Under the best circumstances, the parties jointly agree to the use of a qualified realtor and do everything possible to put the house in saleable shape. A successful sale of a house with equity can also result in a cash influx to both parties to obtain new residences or offset debts. In the current economic state, however, it is more significant to be certain that the house can be sold for what is owed before worrying about how the profits might be divided. A secondary issue of this is occupancy of the residence while it is up for sale; obviously, regular maintenance, cleaning, and availability for open houses, inspections, and all elements of the sales process are incumbent on the person who will occupy the house. During this interim period, the mortgage will need to be paid, the utilities kept up to date and all of the normal expenses. How these are divided until the house can be sold must be a consideration in any negotiation unless, during the divorce, as the parties are lucky enough to obtain a buyer.

Renting the Home. If a home will be difficult to sell, and neither party wishes to reside there, the parties could enter into an agreement by which they rent the home to a third person.

Again, careful negotiations will be required to deal with the maintenance issues, division of rent payments and overall responsibility for upkeep on the residence. With home values where they are and difficulty refinancing prevalent, this is an option that many divorcing couples are forced to consider.

Zoe and Jacquie Cain

Be the boss!

Commentary by David Cain As the votes were read aloud and counted, one by one, it became clear who would win.

Nearing the end of the voting, the losing contestant said with some tone, “I going to be vice!” I didn’t really hear what she said, so I asked her to repeat it, “I said, I’m going to be vice!” I asked my seven-year-old little girl what she meant. She said, “I’m going to be Vice Cake Boss!”

During the holidays, both little girls decided they wanted to make a cake. Not any ordinary cake, but a special cake of their own creation.

Not with any run-of-the mill ingredients, but instead their own custom ingredients. The winner, I decided, would be selected by voting on the best tasting cake. We would travel with both cakes through our neighborhood until both were eaten. At each stop, the surprise judges would vote for their favorite cake by secret ballot. The winner would be proclaimed the Cake Boss! And, apparently, my oldest daughter assumed that second place was Vice Cake Boss.

Each contestant would, of course, require some assistance. I agreed to help each with a grocery Captains of industry – Forbes compiled its list of most innovative companies around the world, and six of the top 10 are located in the U.S. Who is No. 1 out of the gate?

list, the shopping and the cooking. Each wouldbe Cake Boss had three hours in the kitchen to make their vision come to life. The competing cakes included a Pancake Cake and, the eventual winner, a Candy Cain Cake. The Pancake Cake was made with nine pancakes from scratch each held in place by a layer of chocolate and fresh whipped cream. This little gem was topped with more whipped cream and fruit. The Candy Cain Cake started with the messy business of breaking 20 candy canes with a hammer. The result was like eating a peppermint with a bit of cake – the creator truly was the Cake Boss.

Things that have never been done before might just be things that haven’t been tried.

The willingness to experiment, explore and take some calculated risks are necessary ingredients of success. Being the boss of anything requires imagination and innovation.

Getting ahead of Valentine’s Day

Fine Lines, INC

Hair & Nail Salon

Commentary by Ashley Phipps Have you heard of Pinterest? It is an amazing visual site for finding an enormous amount of fabulous ideas, crafts, do-it-yourself projects and recipes. So naturally, I am addicted to it. But, Pinterest has officially made me feel late for Valentine’s Day. And it’s not even February.

Just sayin’ So I took a trip to the dollar store, gathered a few supplies and a pretty can of pink spray paint from the hardware store and got to work making my first Valentine’s Day craft this year! A really cute and really simple Heart Candy Dish on a pedestal!

To make one of these pedestal candy dishes, you will need: • Heart Dish (I found mine at the Dollar Tree Store) • Glass Candlestick Holder (from the Dollar Tree Store) • E6000 Glue • Spray Paint (I used Rust-Oleum in Berry Pink) First, you’ll need to spray paint the glass candle stick holder.

Tip: Turn your candle stick holder upside down to spray paint it. This will avoid getting paint on the top of the candle stick holder. If too much paint gets on there, the glue won’t stick as well.

After the paint has dried, use E6000 to adhere the candle stick holder to the heart dish.

Tip: Lay a few heavy books on top of the heart dish while the glue dries for at least several hours. This will ensure a secure bond.

Now your heart candy dish is ready to fill with your favorite Valentine’s Day treats.

Grammar Guy

‘I’ve got’ a problem?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer QUESTION: Jordan, I was a medical transcriptionist for more than 28 years. There is nothing that upsets me more than to hear someone say ,”I’ve got.” An example: “I’ve got 12 teddy bears in my bedroom.” This sounds like, “I have got…”

This sounds wrong to me. What is the proper usage here? – Peggy Baker ANSWER: Thanks for writing in, Peggy. I have an inkling that you may be right on this one.

Before we jump into the whole phrase, let’s examine each verb individually. The verb “have” expresses ownership or obligation: If you have a car, you have to be insured to drive it. In the first instance, “have” is used as a transitive verb, meaning it requires an object. In this case, the object is the car. In the second instance, “have” is used as an auxiliary verb along with the infinitive “to be” to express obligation. It can be used in this manner with all sorts of infinitives: I have to go; I have to eat; I have to brush my teeth.

“Got” is the past tense of the verb “get,” which means to obtain. Since “get” is irregular, “got” is also the past participle of the verb – although in the U.S., we sometimes use “gotten” as the past participle. “Got” can be used as a transitive (“I got my paycheck”), intransitive (“I got into the building”) or auxiliary verb (“I got caught in the act.”).

And so, we’ve arrived at “have got,” which is the present perfect construction of the verb

“get.” The present perfect is a compound tense used to describe something that has already happened, but which has lingering effects. The present perfect is formed by combining the verb “have” with the perfect aspect of a verb. In this case, our verb is “get” and the perfect aspect is “got” (British) or “gotten (American). I personally think “gotten” feels a little awkward, but they are both technically correct.

Now, you might be saying, “’I have got to go’ doesn’t sound like a past event.” And you would be correct. Although the construction of “have got” is that of the present perfect, it is almost always used as though it is present or simple present. Additionally, as in the example at the beginning of the article, the “have” is typically contracted, leaving us with “I’ve got” – an irregular, idiomatic expression that, while not formal usage, is frequently used with infinitives to show emphasis in common speech. For example: “I have GOT to go” versus “I have to go.” The transitive use, however, is less forgivable. Saying, “I have got 12 teddy bears,” adds no extra meaning beyond what saying, “I have 12 teddy bears,” would accomplish. And anyway, it’s already 11 more teddy bears than I have.

High voltage design trends Commentary by Vicky Earley Color shock is here! The muted, soft tones that were coveted for a number of years are taking a back seat to intense, high voltage color.

The Emerald Green Pantone color of the year is just the parade marshal. Expect also to see brilliant tangerine, sapphires, crisp yellows, and shocking reds.

Running with these intense hues is still too much for a large sofa, but pillows, textiles, chairs, rugs and walls will no longer sit back and whisper. No, it is an all-out color splurge.

This playful approach to design looks fabulous when paired with a grounding color. Typically, one patterned fabric starts the color story and the colors are repeated in geometric and solid prints. The grounding color binds all the color, pattern, and texture together for a splendid color vignette.

Just when you thought grey, brown and black were the only grounding colors, white walked through the door and there is we start feeling the modern vibe. White and black are as sophisticated and glamorous as always.

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.”

-Janice H.

Since vibrant tones usher a playful room mood, expect the unexpected in patterns. Large scale chevrons are everywhere, both in starring roles and as a backup. Oversized toile is an exciting addition.

Some combinations for the design aficionado that wants to be current would be sienna, azure, sapphire paired with taupe, emerald green and bumblebee yellow paired with charcoal, or teal, coral, lemon yellow, and lipstick paired with ivory.

If you are not inclined toward investing in a trend but crave the color in your life, remember that pillows and ottomans offer the temporary trend fix and are easily changed later.

Wall and ceiling color can provide an easy color fix, as well.

Without a doubt, 2013 will be the year of the bold and beautiful color, complete with high voltage and energy.

Creating warmth doesn't have to be costly

Commentary by David Decker

The holidays are over, which means we’ve reached the heart of the chilly winter months. It also means that it’s that time of year when many people spend their days inside the home trying to keep cozy while wrapped in blankets or sitting in front of the fireplace. Avoid the winter blues and implement a few of these ideas to make your space as warm as possible.

Fireplaces are a winter staple, and new models can even be equipped with a remote control.

These remote systems function using a receiver that signals the gas to ignite, making it easier than ever to start a comfy fire. Fireplaces can add a beautiful, functional touch to the living room, but also look great in both bathrooms and kitchens.

During the winter, the bathroom can often be one of the coldest rooms in the house, but it doesn’t have to be. Warm up by relaxing in a hot bath (bubbles and aromatherapy are optional, but highly recommended). Or, if you have dry skin, try taking a steam shower. Saunas have been shown to relax muscles, increase blood flow, moisturize skin and cleanse pores. And luckily, new kits are available on the market that make installation simple.

It’s certainly not fun to step out of a hot shower and be greeted by a blast of chilly air and frigid tile flooring. Soften the shock by install-

heated) flooring.

Here are a few simple ways to bring some warmth into the kitchen. Color can subconsciously make us feel warmer even if the actual thermostat hasn’t moved. Try to bring warm colors such as red, orange, yellow or brown into the room through flowers, pillows or other small decorative elements. Humidity can also make a room feel warmer and more comfortable. So try boiling a pot of water laced with liquid potpourri on the stove, which will make the room smell wonderful and eliminate dry indoor air.

As you can see, you don’t necessarily have to invest a great deal of money to keep your home toasty warm. It just takes a little creativity and few elements of warmth to get you through the snowy, winter months.
