Apartments designed to fill city’s housing gap

By Christian Sorrell christian@youarecurrent.com A $16.5 million affordable housing project is coming to Old Meridian and Main Street in Carmel in Fall 2014. Meridian Flats, a Herman & Kittle development, is designed to create affordable living spaces for Carmel residents 55 and older. The apartment complex is slated to begin construction this fall.

Based on market studies, the developers of Meridian Flats believe they have found a gap in the housing options available for Carmel residents of a certain age looking to lessen their monthly expenses. Herman & Kittle is marketing the development to local retirees looking to sell their larger homes and move into something simpler. It is not an assisted-living community.

“Often (individuals) in this age group are looking to downsize to decrease the amount of income spent on housing and to lessen maintenance efforts,” Erika Scott, development director for Herman & Kittle Properties, stated in an e-mail. “What’s especially important to many is to be able to stay in the area where they’ve built their life. They want to be near family, friends, activities, doctors and so on.”

As a result of Carmel’s aging population, developers and city officials are looking to fill gaps in housing throughout the city.

Comedian Dave Dugan to perform at Bub’s Burgers – Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream, 210 W. Main St., will be hosting its third annual winter show on March 1 featuring comedian Dave Dugan, a longtime contributor to the Bob and Tom Dugan Show. What: First Friday Comedy Show, Where: Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream, When: March 1, 9:30 p.m., Tickets: $10 available at Bub’s, More Info: 706-BUBS

According to Mayor Jim Brainard, other cities that have limited themselves to large, expensive single-family homes don’t work well and also tend to have higher tax rates.

“We don’t want to lose people who have spent their lives in Carmel, who have retired and want to sell their four-bedroom house and move into something less expensive,” Brainard said. “We want to make sure there are options for them here.”

Financing for Meridian Flats will come from private sources using the IRS’s Rental Housing Tax Credit Program.

“Because of this (program), we must keep our rents affordable,” Scott said. “The community itself does not receive any rental subsidies that are passed on to the resident, (as is the case in) Section 8. We believe the term ‘low-income’ is misleading as most people picture the rundown ‘proj-

ects’ of yesteryear.”

In an affordable housing community such as this, a resident’s rent is based on his or her income and the number of occupants living in the apartment.

30 two-bedroom

with completion slated for fall 2014

COMMUNITY Philanthropy

Sign up for Irish blessings Commentary by Jeff Worrell It has been a year since they moved from the rental house to a brand new facility. One year since the blessing was given and the first mother-to-be crossed the threshold and moved into a place she can call home; if only temporarily. The O’Connor House is a haven for expectant mothers who are unmarried and do not have a place to live. And, the O’Connor House is known for being the only place in this area to accept women in crisis who also have other children.

Kris Bussick, the founder of O’Connor along with Collen Dulac said, “You can imagine the babysitting and logistical issues which crop up when women are trying to take care of their children, have no place to stay and are struggling to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Our house helps to alleviate that stress.”

The O’Connor House is a residential group home in Carmel whose mission is to help reduce homelessness and to provide food, clothing, transportation, guidance, support and educational programs. The women are guaranteed a safe and loving home for them to live, learn, establish a new foundation and improve their lives.

Coming March 2 at the Renaissance Hotel in Carmel is the O’Conner House’s first post-new house fundraising effort. Dubbed Irish Blessings: A Night To Celebrate will truly be just

that. Included for the price of admission is dinner, silent and live auctions and live Irish music with dancers. The event is a great opportunity to learn more about O’Connor House. Since opening in 2005 as a non-denominational home for unwed mothers, they have assisted more than 77 women and 75 children.

But, if dancing is not your thing, leave the dancing shoes at home and bring a hammer instead. They have a very nice, yet stark, unfinished basement which could use some finishing in the form of drywall. Or, should you just want to support the cause or find out more about the event, click www.theoconnorhouse.org.

Since moving to the new facility which had a major portion of its building costs underwritten through a grant, Bussick reports more visibility has led to more benefits for the residents including more volunteers. But, a disturbing trend indicates a growing segment of our population is homeless pregnant women. With the O’Connor House on solid financial footing, those women are less at risk and we are assured a healthy baby boy or girl welcomed into the world. Sign up for Irish Blessings.

Don’t drop your guard in the fight against the flu.

brandi

Flu season will continue for several more weeks. Protect yourself.

Many people think flu season is already over. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

Flu season runs from October until May with a usual peak in February—so even if you haven’t caught it yet, you’re not out of the woods quite yet.

How do you know if you have the flu?

Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and respiratory issues. If these symptoms sound familiar to you, there are a few steps you can take to help to get rid of them faster.

The most important thing is to drink plenty of water. Washing your hands often, avoiding stressful situations and getting plenty of rest are also key to kicking the bug fast.

To avoid the flu altogether, get a flu shot.

These inoculations, which are inexpensive and available at local pharmacies, lower your risk of getting the flu by up to 60 percent.

Many people aren’t sure when to visit the doctor—or in some cases, the hospital— due to flu symptoms. Dr. William Freudenthal, medical director at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital Emergency Department, has a few guidelines to help you determine when it’s time to seek care.

“If you’re having shortness of breath, aches and pains you can’t control with over-thecounter pain medication, or are becoming dehydrated, then it’s time to visit your doctor for more specialized care,”

Dr. Freudenthal said. “People suffering from other medical conditions including asthma, cancer and kidney issues are also at higher risk for developing complications from the flu.”

Sometimes, those who take all of the necessary precautions will still get the flu.

If you think you might need additional medical care, call your physician to schedule an appointment.

If you don’t have a physician, just call 317-356-CARE (2273), or visit stvincent.org/medicalgroup to find one who’s right for you.

I had a lot of questions.

And St.Vincent had all the answers.

Arguments presented by remonstrators, mostly residents of Zionsville, ranged from concerns about increased crime to the store being open 24 hours to decreased property values.

Discussion around Walmart identifying itself as an “integrated center” also was disputed as only 2,800 square feet of the proposed 156,621 square feet would be dedicated to “tenants” with no individual entries nor resemblance to other integrated centers in the area, such as Zionsville's Boone Village.

Near the end of the meeting, Wayne Delong, the director of planning and economic development for the Town of Zionsville, summarized in his staff report that the Petitioner had not clearly identified why it needed a variance of development standards beyond the allowed 60,000 square feet.

Board Member Gregory Morical concluded the discussion by stating, “One point that is important to make is that the burden is on the petitioner to show us why they need the variance. Based upon what we heard tonight and the findings of fact, I feel they failed to meet that burden.”

As the vote passed and both variance requests were denied, the crowd was elated. Leigh Ann Akard, owner of Akard True Value in Boone Village commented, “Regardless of who it is, it was such a huge request. I think the Board of Zoning made the right decision, otherwise they would be setting a precedent.” She added, “It’s not a small, ‘can we bend?’ It was ‘how far can we bend’?”

Per board procedures, Walmart may change the building design to meet the size requirements and re-file in one year.

600E

Hundreds of people, many of them Carmel residents, packed the Zionsville Town Hall last Tuesday night to hear whether the Board of Zoning Appeals was going to allow a Walmart Superstore to be built at 11000 Michigan Rd. near 106th Street. The majority of them left very happy.

Walmart was hoping to build a 156,621-square-foot superstore on land it bought in 2005, but at the end of a spirited three-hour debate, board members voted 4-0 against Walmart’s request.

The primary sticking point revolved around the size of the proposed store. Walmart representatives were requesting a variance from two of Zionsville’s business zoning restrictions.

The ordinance states that no single-use facility, whether free-standing or contained in an integrated center, can exceed 60,000 square feet of gross floor area, and no integrated center can exceed 125,000 square feet of total gross floor area.

Walmart’s facility more than doubled the size of the 60,000 square foot limit and was about 30,000 square feet over the integrated center restriction. Comparatively, the existing Marsh supermarket at 106th Street and Michigan Road is about 64,000 square feet.

Walmart’s attorney, Joe Calderon, presented the store’s side, arguing that the proposed size was comparable to the nearby Target and Home Depot stores just south of 106th Street on Michigan Road.

Remonstrators and town staff disagreed with that logic, citing 106th Street as a “transitional boundary” and using Carmel’s zoning ordinances as an example. In 2006, Carmel and Zionsville worked in collaboration to create ordinances limiting building size, with 106th Street as a border, which begins an area of less-intense commercial development that transitions to residential developments.

Carmel’s ordinance does not restrict “big box” development along Michigan Road until north of 106th Street, when an 85,000-square-foot restriction begins. In 2006, Zionsville adopted the 60,000-square-foot restriction for businesses within town borders no matter the location.

New commissioner ready to make his mark

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For the next four years, Westfield’s Mark Heirbrandt will serve as Hamilton County Commissioner in District 3. While his name never appeared on a voting machine or before the public voters, Heirbrandt was elected during a caucus of Republican Precinct Committeemen throughout Hamilton County on Jan. 26.

“I knew I had an uphill battle. A lot of people in Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville didn’t know who I was,” he said. “It was important that I got out and met people that were going to vote. For two weeks my wife and kids hardly saw me.”

Heirbrandt will serve the remainder of Doug Carter’s four-year term after Carter resigned in early January when he was selected by newly elected Gov. Mike Pence to be the Indiana State Police superintendant. Heirbrandt has known Carter for 40 years, but the two became friends during Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen’s campaign.

“At a golf outing, we were paired together and just hit it off,” he said. “The past two years, I’ve gotten pretty close to Doug. We went to a lot of the same conferences and drove together to events… He’s very ethical. He’s kind of a model for me. I have the utmost respect for him.”

Heirbrandt and his wife, Gina, have lived in Hamilton County for 20 years. While they currently live in Westfield, the couple have also

lived in Carmel and Noblesville.

“I have a good understanding of what the different needs are because I’ve lived in different communities,” Heirbrandt said.

Heirbrandt works in the energy engineering and water treatment service industry. His focus is on local governments within the state of Indiana so he works with councils and elected officials every day.

“I go in and assess the facilities and operations, look for cost-saving opportunities and creative ways to save them money. I uncover

inefficiencies and work to offset costs with grants, state incentives or creative funding,” said Heirbrandt, who also served six years on the Westfield Board of Public Works and Safety.

“The past 14 years, I’ve been involved in local government. I know what worked and what didn’t work.”

In his first month as a Hamilton County Commissioner, Heirbrandt wants to get out and meet the people in Hamilton County. He also is looking to learn from fellow Hamilton County Commissioners Christine Altman and Steve Dillinger.

“They’ve got a lot of experience. I was encouraged because I really want to learn a lot from both of them,” he said. “I think I’m going to bring some energy and a new perspective. I want to continue to make Hamilton County a great place to live and raise a family.”

Altman said Heirbrandt had been devoted to his new role.

“I was very impressed with his first meeting,” she said. “He knows how to work with people and get jobs done.”

Altman said Heirbrandt’s infrastructure background was a welcomed addition to the commissioners.

“That’s a lot of what commissioners do. That’s a huge plus for us,” she said. “We have good people working for us, but it’ll be nice having that experience on the board.”

First night back, K9 finds his guy

WEEKEND

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com After three months off duty, a Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office K9 returned to work and made a immediate impact.

Waldo, a K9 unit working with Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputy Nate Biddle, returned to patrol on Jan. 22. On his first night back, Biddle, Waldo and other night shift patrol deputies helped the McCordsville Police Dept. search for a suspect who was wanted for felony domestic battery and criminal confinement.

After tracking the suspect for about half a mile, Waldo found his man hiding in a tree. Sheriff’s deputies where then able to take the suspect into custody without any further incidents.

Waldo had been removed from service in the fall of 2012 because of a leg injury.

He underwent surgery to remove two inches of bone from his leg to repair the bone that had grown too long, according to Sgt. Dustin Dixon. Waldo rested and rehabbed during his time off.

COMMUNITY Cover Story

Brainard flies in search of ways to enrich city

By Robert Annis • rob@youarecurrent.com Mayor Jim Brainard has been racking up the frequent-flyer miles during the past five years.

As Carmel has transformed from an affluent bedroom community to a thriving suburban city in its own right, the architect of that change is in high demand. Brainard has flown to Texas and Florida to talk roundabouts, and to Illinois and beyond to talk about remaking the suburbs.

In December, Brainard returned from his longest trip yet: Qatar. The Saudi government flew Brainard and other U.S. mayors to their country to talk city planning.

Brainard was optimistic his Middle East trip will bring future economic development to Carmel.

“We’re in a world economy now,” Brainard said. “We have to get out there in order to be successful. People in the Midwest and Indiana, they’re not seeing what they’re up against.”

A large percentage of his travel is paid for by the groups he’s speaking to, but Carmel taxpayers do shell out for many of Brainard’s trips – about $52,000 during the past five years, an average of eight trips per year. His most expensive taxpayer-funded trip was a $5,022 jaunt to London last year for economic development.

He spent a week in England, personally meeting with representatives from 60 different companies, including Oxford Biosignals, which currently has an office along the U.S. 31 corridor and could be expanding in the future.

Most of the trips are for the U.S. Council of Mayors, which Brainard, a trustee of the group, claims is invaluable.

“We’re finding out what Congress is doing to

hurt or help our cities,” Brainard said. “It’s (also) about getting out there and seeing what the other mayors are doing. They are our competition for jobs we want to bring to Carmel; it’s important to know what they’re doing.”

Not surprisingly, Brainard travels to Washington, D.C., the most. During a two-day stay in the capitol in July, Brainard met with officials from the Federal Highway Administration and the White House Office of Government Affairs, the International Economic Development Council, senators Dan Coats and Richard Lugar, U.S. Rep. Dan Burton and reporters from the Associated Press and other media outlets.

Brainard often uses these trips to get face time

with officials who are deciding where to allocate federal dollars. Carmel has earned nearly $24 million in federal grants during the past five years, paying for new equipment for the fire and police departments, new high-efficiency LED streetlights for the city and helping to pay for new roads and trails. Would Carmel have gotten those grants if Brainard hadn’t made the trek?

Perhaps, but the face-to-face meetings often bear unexpected fruit, Brainard said.

“I was having a casual conversation with a highway official, and he mentioned we could actually get 100 percent of the construction costs for our roundabouts (covered) because of the environmental benefits,” Brainard said. “Typically, we receive only 80 percent. We brought

that information back with us; our local (Metropolitan Planning Organization) wasn’t using that (funding formula), but now they are. If I hadn’t had that conversation with that official, we would be missing out (on the extra funds).”

Some of Brainard’s trips bring in money to the local economy in other ways. Delegations from Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee have traveled to Carmel to experience firsthand what Brainard spoke about during his visits to their cities. After speaking at a traffic engineering conference, officials decided to hold their conference on roundabouts in Carmel, bringing in more than 400 people and nearly a half-million dollars into the local economy.

Brainard tries to multitask as much as possible on his trips, meeting with site consultants and journalists, to sell the “Carmel brand.”

“I’m out there to promote Carmel,” Brainard said, adding he hoped to bring in tourists as well as new corporate headquarters. “We’re not the other Carmel (by the Sea). We don’t have the oceans or the mountains, but we are the best place to live and work in the country.”

VIEWS Opinion

Civic show scores a foxy hole-in-one

Car talk

It is our position that the automobile seems to be taking a back seat as the primary form of transportation among the new generation. The August 2012 issue of Motor Trend magazine reported that young people are showing a remarkable decrease in the desire to own a car and even to drive a car. Based on a Frontier Group study, “Transportation and the New Generation”

by Benjamin Davis and Tony Dutzik, the article notes that the share of 14-to 34-year olds without a driver’s license was 26% in 2010, up from 21% in 2000. . . The same age group walked to more destinations in ’09 than in ’01, and the distance they traveled by public transit increased 40 percent.

While these statistics among the younger generation are interesting, is a decline in automobile use realistic among the sprawl of the suburbs? Access to the Monon Trail, an increased number of well-marked bike lanes and more sidewalks along main thoroughfares is a good start. More communities (i.e. Frankfort, IN) have adopted Complete Streets policies that promote integrated transportation planning for all modes of transportation; cars, transit, bikes, pedestrians, etc. Mass transit discussions are taking flight, however, can old dogs learn new tricks in their lifetimes by embracing walkable communities?

Wedded bliss

Commentary by Terry Anker

It is a dangerous game to give advice. It is especially risky to offer suggestions on marriage.

Yet, most of us still do it. There are countless books, blogs and brew-meisters all dedicated to helping the hapless find their way to a productive and satisfying union. Cliché directs us that they “key” to a happy marriage is a happy wife.

Perhaps that is the point, but how does one create the happy to which it refers?

Before Carolyn and I made the trip down the aisle decades ago, we were required by the church hosting our wedding to meet for a scripted series of get-togethers with a local couple that might guide a successful beginning to our anticipated nuptuals. I often thought at the time that they were the gatekeepers in place to keep us from making a disastrous move. So, on our first meeting, we took a very lengthy compatibility test. Our proctors “graded” the survey and found that indeed we had a chance of attainment in marriage. When I asked if others had failed, the

husband turned to me and related that they often wondered whether the would-be newlyweds had just met in the driveway before taking the test – not only lacking compatibility but also interest!

So, said our model couple, we could talk about the real requirements to success in lifelong relationships. Young and eager, we leaned in awaiting receipt of their garnered wisdom. “Pick-up your towels,” said the wife.

“And, visit with her friends like they are your own,” said the husband. For the next several weeks, we learned of the basic interactions upon which cohabitation is built – responsibility, finance and goal-setting. There was no magic pill and no easy cliché. Could it be that simple respect is the key ingredient to making relationships work?

Civic Theatre has a regular laugh riot on its hands with current production “The Fox on the Fairway.” Written by Ken Ludwig and debuted in 2010, it is even more uproarious than his “Lend Me a Tenor,” which served as Civic’s first show last season at The Booth Tarkington Theatre. “Fox,” at times, will leave you belly-laughing, as the theatre company over-delivers on the hilarity of a fictional golf-tournament wager. We found the acting and the set superb, something we’ve come to expect from Civic performances; we’re officially spoiled and we’re officially sponsors/believers. The show runs through Feb. 23, and if “today” is Saturday (delivery day for Current this week because of the Presidents Day holiday), then you have five more opportunities to see the show. Do yourself a favor and go get a good, hearty laugh from a performance that is, without a doubt, the stage version of a hole-inone. For tickets and/or information, visit www. civictheatre.org or call 843-3800.

••• The Riverview Hospital Foundation staged an elegant and entertaining evening Feb. 9 at the eye-popping Lucas Estate in Carmel in an effort to purchase a 128-slice CT scanner and upgrade one of the hospital’s digital catheterization labs, all in the name of cardiac health. The black-tie event served as the wrap-up for the foundation’s Heart of Your Community Capital Campaign. An overflow crowd was treated to a flavorful dinner, “Heartfelt” speeches by foundation director Trish Oman and foundation president Greg O’Connor, himself a beneficiary of a recent live-saving heart scan at the hospital, and energizing music from Lemonwheel. Forrest Lucas, he of Lucas Oil fame, was as gracious a host as we’ve ever experienced and showed off a great sense of wit in addressing the throng. We were proud sponsors of the campaign, as well, and hope it achieved as anticipated.

I need a 27-hour day, please Commentary by Danielle Wilson There just aren’t enough hours in the day. I’ve been so overwhelmed, in fact, that I am just now sitting down to pen this column, less than 20 hours before my deadline. Even my yoga class couldn’t settle me entirely. If you have kids, I’m sure you’ll relate.

For starters, I’m trying to manage four children in four different athletic programs. Not surprisingly, none of them wanted to do the same thing, darn it, so my husband and I must hold morning briefings over who has to be where and when. It’s become sort of a sick logic problem: If Geoffrey has to be in Noblesville for indoor soccer practice and Andrew has a swim meet at Purdue, how will Corinne get to her volleyball game in Lawrence by five so that Maddie isn’t late for basketball in Carmel?

And of course, when our kids decide they’d also like to try art club, French club, the Green Team environment club, winter track prep, saxophone and dance (“If I’m going to be on Broadway, mother, I simply must take ballet, tap and jazz!”), what do we do? Well, just what you’d expect from parents who clearly have issues saying “no.” We sign the permission slip, pay the fees, and add six more events to the calendar.

If simultaneous on-time arrival at various parts of the state wasn’t challenging enough, I’ve thrown in my own ball of crazy. In addition to the afore-

mentioned yoga and my day job, I thought it’d be fun to coach, volunteer at a food pantry and make some extra cash by tutoring. (The book sales just aren’t cutting it, and I still have my heart set on these fabulous black riding boots!) And Doo has his own hands full with work, the house, and our new puppy. He also thought now to be the perfect time to quit smoking.

I know, I know. We made our king-sized bed, now we must lie in it. It’s just that sometimes I wonder if I really am going to lose my mind.

That or develop severe lower back issues from the amount of time spent in my dilapidated minivan. Even my phone has decided to throw in the towel, having determined yesterday that desperate texting to organize last-minute carpooling was just too much trouble, thank you very much.

At least I can wallow in self-pity and know that some of you will empathize, even while judging me. Parenting is tough, and schlepping kids around town is exhausting, but I’m certain we’d regret not helping our children explore their interests when possible. So we’ll suck it up, invest in Doan’s, and pray that three hours miraculously get added to each day. Peace out.

I know why beagles run away Commentary by Dick Wolfsie A couple of weeks ago, I threatened to throw out my wife’s copy of Emily Post’s “Etiquette,” a compilation of advice on proper comportment, updated periodically by the descendants of the late manners icon. I have now decided the book may be a valuable addition to our library, not because I have any intention of changing my boorish ways, but because the volume is a gold mine of potential columns. Proper humor protocol requires that you take advantage of an opportunity like this.

One of the chapters is about appropriate demeanor when visiting a home with servants. The authors observe that many people have questions in this area. Yes, I have a question: How come I don’t know a single person who has servants? I skipped those 10 pages.

In this edition of the book, the writers claim that the basic rules covering a weeklong visit to a friend’s home have never changed. “Easy or not, you must conform to the habits of your host family… have meals at their hours, eat what is put before you and go to bed according to their schedule.” This is similar to the advice found in The Idiot’s Guide to Joining a Cult and is likely why so many beagles run away from home.

On some of the issues Mary Ellen takes a

different point of view. The authors say, for example, that even if your hostess has not begun to eat, once several people have been served at the table, it is OK to pick up your fork and begin. I tried that once and my wife also picked up her fork… and stuck it in my thigh.

Punctuality is important when it comes to dinner parties. To prevent guests from showing up late, it is suggested that the host “ask invitees to come about a half hour before you expect them to arrive.” I read that six times, and I’m still not totally sure what it means. If you try this idea and your friends start ringing the doorbell while you are still in your underwear, you may need to rethink the concept.

The chapter ends with a cautionary note.

“Overnight visits absolutely require written thank-you notes.” I couldn’t agree more. I spent a weekend at my sister’s house in New York recently and despite what an awesome houseguest I was, not a word of gratitude from her in almost a month. I thought our mother taught us better.

Commentary by Mike Redmond I admit it. I buy things on impulse. I seldom go through a grocery checkout without picking up a Kit Kat bar or a pack of Doublemint, and I once came home from a quick errand with milk, bread, and a new Pontiac.

Anyway, while it occasionally has led me to some silly purchases (the Pontiac was a lemon), I can’t call impulse buying it a fault. Especially not today, because I (impulsively) just bought …

A tractor.

I suppose this would be as good a time as any to point out that I live in the city, in a very urban neighborhood full of very urban Victorian houses with very urban small yards.

It is not what you would call a tractor-friendly environment.

So on the surface, this was an extremely stupid thing for me to do.

But this is no ordinary tractor.

This was my grandfather’s Oliver Row Crop 60.

This little Oliver, built in the 1940s, represents Grandpa McKenzie’s giant step away from horse-drawn agriculture, and that makes it enormous in my eyes.

Just seeing pictures of it reminds me of my early kidhood, when going to visit Grandma and Grandpa on the farm – the farm! – was something you looked forward to all year long.

Grandpa didn’t mind kids crawling onto the

tractors and pretending to drive. Unless, of course, he was using them at the time which, in a sense, is how one of his tractors carried me into family legend.

It was a summer morning, and for some reason a whole bunch of McKenzies were at the farm. Somehow, I managed to be alone when Grandpa came chugging in from the field on his “big” tractor, an Oliver Row Crop 77. He gestured for me to join him and ride along.

After a spin around the barn, he stopped and let me off. “Now, don’t tell the others,” he said, “or I’ll be giving rides all day.” I promised. And then thirty seconds later went running up to my cousins, shouting “Grandpa gave me a ride on the tractor!”

All of which explains, to me anyway, why I had to buy this tractor when it became available.

I didn’t want it to pass out of the family, and maybe by restoring it I could make things up to Grandpa a little bit, and of course be the envy of my neighborhood.

Curtain’s up on the classics at Wafford Theater

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com “Field of Dreams” taught us, “If you build it they will come.” Noblesville businessman Jim Wafford has built a 30 seat intimate theater in a vacant building that connects to his other businesses, Logan Street Signs & Banners and Noblesville Trophies, at 1744 S. 10th St. “I always had a dream to have a little theater where people can come and enjoy themselves,” Wafford said. “At the park, people would tell me they wish there was a place they could go and see old movies all the time.”

Wafford said the purpose of the theater was to raise funds for the Free Classic Movies in the Park series he puts on for the community.

This will be the third summer Wafford is presenting the classic movie series, which began during a conversation with Noblesville Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Brandon Bennett. During the discussion, Bennett told Wafford that the parks department budget had been cut and they would be showing fewer movies the next year.

The Basics Wafford Theater, 1744 S. 10th St., will show classic movies at 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Cost is $3 with most concession items for $1. “We’re trying to keep concessions low and people’s spirits high,” owner Jim Wafford said. www.currentincarmel.com

“I saw a need for free family entertainment, and no one else is doing it,” said Wafford, who also shows films at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds during the winter. “I love classic movies. I’m kind of romantic. I just like the older dress. I wouldn’t mind living back there.

There’s a lot of class.”

Before screening a film, Wafford must contact his representative to get licensing rights.

Movies cost Wafford $200 to $400 each screening. To air “Casablanca” to 113 people in 2011, it cost Wafford $405.

“The more awards it won, the more expensive the movie is,” he explained. “Most people don’t realize you have to pay for movies.”

To pay for the licensing agreement, Wafford rearranged his advertising budget and has sought help from businesses to sponsor the film series. To lessen the amount coming out of his pocket, Wafford is using his theater to raise funds to support his free movie programs.

Another way Wafford is trying to raise money is with a DVD recycling program. He is accepting donations of movies that he is reselling for $5 to $10.

“One hundred percent goes to support Movies in the Park,” he said.

Besides being a theater, the multi-use room is available to rent for meetings or clubs.

The theater’s chairs and risers can be removed or replaced with table and chairs depending on needs. Elizabeth Boase, a member of the Central Indiana Real Estate Investors Association, has already used the room for a meeting.

“A PowerPoint looks great up there,” she said of the theater’s giant screen. “It’s really good for teaching a small class.”

Wafford said hardcore gamers also can connect their preferred platform and play their favorite videos on the 14-foot by 7-foot screen.

The theater also has two 46-inch televisions mounted on the sides of the screen.

“I hope to raise half of our funds by renting it out,” he said.

“I can’t wait to sit down and watch a good movie on it,” Gary Bartunek said.

Wafford Theater will show classic movies at 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

“We will offer more showings if the crowds come,” he said.

Upcoming Schedule ★ Tuesday – Two Movie Tuesday with

“Captain Scarface” (1953) and “The Racketeer” (1929) ★ Wednesday – Western Wednesday with “My Pal Trigger” (1946) ★ Thursday – “Cheers for Miss Bishop” (1941) ★ Friday – “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” (1952) ★ Feb. 23 – Sinisterly Bad Theater Saturday with “Cat Women of the Moon” (1953) and “The Atomic Brain” (1963) For more information and movie schedule, visit www.waffordtheater.com.

When it comes to cinematic adaptations of monstrously huge fantasy literary franchises like “Harry Potter” and “The Lord of the Rings,” there are two schools of thought. On the one hand are people who think they run too long and are self-indulgent – the sort of folks who joke about “LOTR” having five endings.

Then there are those like myself who love to see every subplot and nuance of our beloved books captured onscreen with a slavish devotion to detail. For those, HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is the nirvana of sword & sorcery fealty.

Season 2 saw a considerable ramping up in the world war overtaking the land of Westeros, as the death of King Robert Baratheon left the

succession to the throne in dispute. The narrative generally circles around the competing claims of three clans: the rich and power-hungry Lannisters, the gruff but noble Stark northmen and the Baratheon brothers.

The show does deviate from the book in ways both big and small, such as Robb Stark’s speedy romance and marriage. But the story takes on a grandiose, epic feel as it builds toward the huge battle of Blackwater.

What possessed me to do this?

How an elder law attorney decided to play hostess to 300 caregivers

Commentary by Carol Applegate Registered Nurse and Elder Law Attorney As an elder law attorney and registered nurse, I’m often in a position to provide my clients with a wide spectrum of advice and ideas. It’s a sometimes daunting task assisting families navigate the complex and confusing waters of Medicaid, Medicare and guardianship.

But there are times when I get some great tips and ideas from clients. That happened earlier this year when the daughter of a client – mired in the task of caregiving – suggested I read, “A Bittersweet Season: Caring For Our Aging Parents – And Ourselves.”

“You have to read this, Carol,” she said. “I just could not get through all this if I hadn’t read this book.”

And so I did. I read Jane Gross’ best selling book that details her own journey as a caregiver as well as providing insight to and actual tactics on managing that process. As someone on the front lines of elder issues with family caregivers, it became immediately clear that this book was a wealth of knowledge presented in both a compassionate yet objective way. And, I wanted to share this message with as many people as I could.

That was early last spring; six months later, we are in the final stages of preparing for our Voice of Aging Family Caregivers’ Conference scheduled for Feb. 26 where we anticipate 300 attendees. In addition to the keynote presentation by Jane Gross, we have put together four break-out sessions on topics ranging from The Hardest

ing for a loved one today or anticipate doing so in the future, this conference is intended to provide access to some of the best resources in Central Indiana, not to mention advice on coping from health and social service professionals.

I am thrilled and excited to be able to present this program. I am confident that those facing the challenging and even consuming days of caregiving will come away with a wealth of knowledge and renewed vision of their very important role.

For more information and for a full roster of current sponsors, log on to www.thevoiceofaging.com or call Applegate Elder Law at 522-1325.

Conversation is the First One to Getting Your Life Back: A Mindful Approach to Your Caregiver Journey. We will also be gathering exhibitors representing some of the most respected service providers in Central Indiana. We are even assembling a toolkit that every attendee will take home with them that captures the information they’ve received and to which they can add their own information as time goes on.

Until you’ve been in the role as a caregiver, it’s difficult to appreciate how overwhelming it can be to be responsible for the care of a loved one.

Not only is the caregiver stressing daily over trying to make the best decisions possible for their loved ones, but they’re dealing with internal issues related to guilt and a lost sense of balance in their own personal lives. Whether you’re car-

Nobody remembers neutral Commentary by David Cain I woke to the sound of a hairdryer. I tossed and turned, unable to fall back sleep despite the closed door to the bathroom. It seemed like a minute that was actually an hour when I woke back up. The hum of the hairdryer woke me for a bit and then it actually lulled me back to a slumber.

We are all programmed, for our own safety, to recognize disruptions. We notice the things that are out of the ordinary. The abrupt change from silence to a hairdryer is but one example. Once my mind resolved what it was and got comfortable with the disrupter, it blended in and lost its ability to keep my attention.

Nobody remembers neutral. Nobody remembers things that blend in. The message or value proposition of a company is no different. Messages have to stand out and continue to do so

to really get traction and be remembered. Otherwise, they become the hairdryer in the early dawn. They wake you up and then actually lull you back to sleep.

We receive more marketing and advertising messages in a year than you would have in a lifetime 50 years ago. You can receive in excess of 10,000 messages a day.

What of all that noise do you remember? You remember the things that stand out. You remember the things that speak to your fears. You remember things that scare you a little. You remember the hairdryers… but only for a while.

Messages have to stand out and continue to do so to really get traction and be remembered.

LIFESTYLE Grammar Guy

Conditional grammar Commentary by Jordan Fischer A lot of people don’t know this about me, but I almost went to school for computer programming.

One of the first pieces of computer syntax you learn in basic programming is “if-then” statements. In computer terms, if you press the “K” button on your keyboard, then a “K” will appear on your screen. If the computer’s internal clock reads 7 a.m., then it will conduct an automated virus scan.

Like most aspects of programming, “if-then” statements are based on an element of grammar: conditional sentences. During my explanation last week of comma splices, I found myself using conditional sentences frequently, and so I thought it would be appropriate to examine them this week.

Conditional sentences are used to express implied or hypothetical situations and their consequences. As with our computer, in a conditional sentence if one thing is true, then another thing will happen. For example: If I do not go to work, then I will lose my job. If I do not wash my clothes, then they will become dingy.

There are three main types of conditional sentences in English: implicative, predictive (or hypothetical) and counterfactual (or unfulfilled hypothetical). So far we have only talked about implicative sentences: If “A” happens, then “B”

Court-Ordered Auction Bank-Ordered Auction Wednesday Oct 24 11 am Thursday Feb 21 10 am

will happen. Implicative sentences are used for certainties. Hypothetical/predicative sentences are used for possibilities. For example: If there’s a zombie outbreak, civilization will collapse.

Although it is a possible scenario, a zombie outbreak does not necessarily mean a collapse of civilization.

The last sort of conditional sentence, counterfactual/unfulfilled hypothetical, is used for statements which are obviously false or unlikely. For example: If I were a betting man, I’d say this will be a mild winter. The understanding is that the speaker is not a betting man, and therefore does not wish to predict the season’s weather. This form is often used to state things which you aren’t going to do, or which aren’t going to happen.

Before I leave you, I want to note that the conditional sentence is one occasion in which commas may be used without coordinating conjunctions. Because the first part of a conditional sentence is a dependent clause – “If ‘A’” – and not an independent clause, a conjunction is not needed to attach it to the main clause – “Then ‘B.’” Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

LIFESTYLE Travel

Read the fine print of flash sales Commenaty by Tracy Line During the last few years, flash sales, or timelimited offers with a high discount, have truly evolved. Websites like Living Social and Groupon have recently expanded to include travel discounts. The question is: Are the travel deals worth it? The answer: It depends on whom you ask.

Ask someone who bought one, and they’ll say yes. Ask me, and I’ll say you get what you pay for. Flash deals are just another marketing tool.

However, I tend to be skeptical. So in all fairness, I’ll say this: For those who scavenge carefully, yes, sometimes flash sales can be a deal.

The devil is in the details. All offers come with strings attached. When it comes to travel deals, be aware of the following: Expiration dates. Companies offer flash sales for two reasons: to get rid of unsold inventory and because they realize a percentage of purchasers will never redeem the coupon. Know when your voucher expires and above all else, use it!

Limited benefits. You may not receive the

same amenities with a flash deal as you would when booking directly with a hotel. Some allinclusive resorts offer flash deals but restrict the included meals to their buffet. Spa resorts that normally include treatments and classes may not include such services in a flash sale. Read the fine print and know what you’re getting.

Restrictions. Your offer will be for a specific room category and dates. Don’t expect a room with a view for a holiday week. Even if the resort has rooms available, if they aren’t in your category (read: cheapest rooms), they are not obligated to give you an upgrade, and most likely won’t.

If you can be flexible, and just want to get away on the cheap, a flash sale voucher may fit the bill. If you’re particular, or can only travel in prime season, skip it.

Whiskey cologne – There’s all kinds of musky colognes out there, but one store is going for Jack Daniels or Jim Beam with this one. Visit www.portlandgeneralstore.com to buy whiskey cologne, which is supposed to smell like “sugar cane alcohol” and “natural oils.” – www. esquire.com

LIFESTYLE Decorating

Consider the splurge's purpose Commentary by Vicky Early It happens to all of us. An innocent afternoon of browsing leads to the discovery of that one thing that turns our head, patters our heart and won’t leave our thoughts.

Now, all that is coming between us and the coveted decorating item is a stealthy price tag.

Can a thing whose purpose in this world is as elemental as decorating our home ever be worth the financial splurge?

The answer is always, “It depends!”

If the heart’s desire is the latest trend, close your purse, put your wallet away and bid the item farewell. Fads and trends translate to temporary and short lived and the high price tag is unnecessary.

Fads can be color as well as style. If your accent color is orange, it is wiser to feature the tangerine hue in less expensive pillows than in custom window treatments.

If it is a core piece of upholstered furniture, the splurge becomes an investment. Quality can’t be faked and is evident in upholstery through comfort and longevity.

A cheap sofa might withstand the rigors

of 6-year-old twins waging war for a brief six months while a quality sofa will resist the fallout of sibling battles for six years or more.

Often, it is art that speaks to our heart but carries the price tag that speaks to our conscience. Original art by its nature has intrinsic value and has the potential for gaining value throughout time.

If it is a print under glass that carries the hefty price tag, hang it back up on the store wall and back away. Your bank account will thank you if you consider unknown artists who are just grateful to make a few dollars for their creative efforts.

Your home will be grateful for the interest that comes with original art.

Does the item that speaks to you fill an actual need? If you have an endless collection of vases but need lamps, another vase won’t help you reach the goal of a complete room. Unless money is not an issue, walk away.

These are facts!

Teeth impact pet’s overall health Commentary by John Mikesell February is canine oral health month and the perfect time to discuss that good oral health is important to a pet’s overall wellness. Unfortunately, for many consumers, it often falls well below bone, joint and skin care on their priority list.

However, studies have shown that between 75 and 80 percent of dogs have some periodontal diseases by the time they turn 2-years-old, leading to increased veterinary visits and, in many cases, costly treatments. If a pet’s teeth and gums are neglected, plaque and tarter can accumulate, which can cause more serious conditions that can affect the animal’s heart, liver or lungs.

Dogs with teeth and gum issues may have chronic bad breath, or loss of interest in eating or chewing on their toys. Cats may drool excessively or neglect their grooming habits. Older pets are particularly prone to oral

problems, such as gingivitis, inflamed gums or loose or broken teeth.

Early and often The key to maintaining good oral health during a pet’s lifetime is to start early and use various methods.

Start brushing your puppy’s teeth when they are only a few weeks old. Put some toothpaste on your finger and put it in their mouths to get them familiar with having something in their mouth.

There are many devices and products to help keep your dog’s teeth and gums in good shape. From paste to many chews, there are plenty of products available for your dog and cat. Beside being effective, the product should be palatable. If it is not appealing, the dog won’t eat it, and it will do no good.

Check with your local pet retailer to find what is best for your dog.

To be sure you are on a proper exfoliating schedule, consult with a trained esthetician.

Teens should skip an all over foundation. Cover blemishes with a blemish stick and then dab on powder in the oily T-zone, but avoid slathering on a heavy, liquid foundation.

Makeup should also not be used to look older. This can result in an unnatural, harsh look. Keeping colors light and sheer will ensure the fresh, youthful glow still shines through.

Trick of the Trade: To avoid drawing attention to braces, skip bright lip colors! Stick to a tinted lip balm or sheer gloss.

INSIDE & OUT Indoors

Guest suite remodel features old-world feel Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL SPACE: This West Carmel home was built in the 1980s, and the current homeowners have lived there for eight years. According to the homeowner, “The space was a kid’s playroom. They now have the basement to use, so we wanted to turn it into an extra bedroom suite for family and guests. We were picturing a grandmother’s suite.”

DESIGN PHASE: The original footprint worked fairly well for the new design, though walls and plumbing had to be added to allow for a new bathroom. Adding the bathroom required that the double doors into the bedroom be moved as well. The slope of the ceiling was raised to 10 feet, stealing space from the attic, but not altering the exterior roof line.

WOOD PLANK CEILING: To achieve the look the homeowner was going for, the ceiling was covered with engineered wood plank flooring from Castle Combe in a Worcester color.

The floors were covered with the same material in a Cotswald color. New maple cabinetry in nutmeg with a black glaze and distressing was used for the window seat and the snack bar areas.

Before GUEST BATH DETAILS: For the bathroom, 4-inch by 16-inch Silver Disk marble floor tiles set in a chevron pattern were used. The wall tile consisted of a variety of uniquely shaped glass tiles, including a glass molding wainscoting.

The shower was laid in Skyline Verona marble, using 1-inch by 1-inch tiles on the floor, 18inch by 18-inch tiles on the walls, and 12-inch by 12-inch tiles on the ceiling. Chrome Brizo faucets and a vanity from Restoration Hardware finished the space.

FINAL RESULT: “I wanted an organic elegance style in the design, through texture and

After color,” the homeowner said. “My favorite part is the wood plank ceiling. Also, the dark brown, distressed flooring idea came from a ski lodge we stayed at in Utah. We liked the warmth and the old-world feel, so we wanted to have that in the guest suite.”
