17 sets of twins hope to set a record

By Cynthia Wu • news@currentincarmel.com The Class of 2013 is attempting to achieve two Guinness World Records: most number of twins to graduate in a year and most number of twins in a high school class. There are 17 sets of twins, which is just enough to surpass both current world records.

Wesley Drew, a Carmel High School social studies teacher and the organizer of the event, said, “(The previous record) was 16 twins, according to Guinness World Records, so 17 would put us just one over that.”

Maine South High School currently holds the record for the most twins in the same academic year at one school. The record was set in January of last year.

To “attempt” the world records, Drew had to gather the students’ class records, birth certificates, copies of their driver’s licenses and copies of their school IDs. “They sent me a pretty thick packet, probably 30 or 40 sheets of information, on what we had to do. After that, I read through the information, and I started to get in touch with the kids because I wanted to get them organized first,” Drew said. “From that point, I started talking to community leaders to try to get witnesses from outside the school to come witness the event and so we got (Mayor Jim) Brainard, (and) we have the Carmel police Creekside student government raises hundreds for Riley – To raise funds and awareness for Riley Kids Caring and Sharing, the Creekside student government sold candies, treat bags and more during the week of Valentine’s Day. CSG members gathered at the school on Feb. 9 to assemble the treats and set up booths in each academic wing. More than $1,000 was raised from the Valentine’s Extravaganza. In December, CSG raised more than $1,000 to donate to the Riley efforts by assembling and selling “Frosty Friends” treat bags that were sold to students.

department.”

Sam and Andrew DiCarlo, two Carmel high school students, were the twins who came up with the idea of trying to break the world records.

“Zionsville was trying to beat it last year, and that’s how (Sam) got the idea,” Andrew said.

After he got the idea, they started to prepare for the attempt. “(Sam) pretty much proposed it to Mr. Williams, and Mr. Williams put Mr. Drew in charge, and Mr. Drew got the information ready, sent it to Guinness World Records and got all the twins (together),” Andrew said. “We had two meetings, and then Sam emailed Guinness to see what we had to do and got the claim IDs.” CHS will likely break both world records unless they are beaten to the punch by another school also submitting information over the next few weeks. The process of submitting the evidence and receiving word back is lengthy.

“We’ll send it off, and my understanding is it takes anywhere from eight to 12 weeks to hear back after that,” Drew said. “I’m hopeful we’ll hear something by the end of the school year.”

Both Sam and Andrew said they believed that this was a unique high school experience.

“It’s something special that we can do for the Class of 2013 and get Carmel High School recognized,” Sam said.

Carmel residents receive Academic Honors – Isaac Boehman, a student majoring in information science, and Elizabeth Fagin, a student majoring in music, were recently named to the Northeastern University Dean’s List for the fall semester. To achieve the Dean’s List distinction, students must carry a full program of at least four courses, have a GPA of 3.5 or greater out of a possible 4.0 and carry no single grade lower than a C- during the course of their college career.

Carmel ranked 33rd safest city in America – Last week, Carmel received the 33rd Safest City in America ranking from NeighborhoodScout. The ranking looks at the number of property and violent crimes per 1,000 people for cities with more than 25,000 residents. NeighborhoodScout takes raw crime data from all 17,000 law enforcement agencies in America and then uses a relational database to more accurately determine the complete number and types of crimes that truly occur in each city or town. Fishers was ranked 19th.

Carmel City Council recap WHAT HAPPENED: Carmel and Fishers ranked among safest cities in America WHAT IT MEANS: Mayor Jim Brainard shared a news release that ranks Carmel 33 in the nation’s safest cities. He also congratulated neighboring Fishers for achieving No. 19 in the NeighborhoodScout report. The report ranks cities with populations of more than 25,000.

NeighborhoodScout.com ranked cities from data of 17,000 law enforcement agencies. The site provides information for real estate research and includes 300 statistics on crime, schools and home values. Money magazine called it “the best, most-trusted source for choosing a neighborhood.”

“I am proud of our fully accredited police department and the dedicated officers and civilians that work hard each day to keep us safe,” Brainard said. “I think this ranking also reflects well on the efforts of our Crime Watch neighborhoods, the Citizens Police Academy and the Teen Academy.”

WHAT HAPPENED: Public hearing, property rezoning

10650 N Michigan Rd., Zionsville, IN 46077 | (888) 478-1917 | myindyford.com

WHAT IT MEANS: Adrian Keely of the Dept. of Community Services presented a diagram of six properties northwest of Carmel Drive and Range Line Road which include Langston Development, Party Time Rental, and Arby’s.

These properties would be rezoned from B3 business district to C1 City Center District. City center district properties require development approval of the Redevelopment Commission and allow for mixed uses that include retail.

Keely explained the rezoning would “increase values of the site” and address infrastructure issues in the area such as the extension of Veteran’s Way, overhead power lines, and the difficult topography of the Party Time parcel.

WHAT’S NEXT: The ordinance has been sent to the Land Use, Annexation and Economic Development Committee.

The committee’s next meeting will be today at 5:30 p.m. in the Caucus Room at City Hall.

WHAT HAPPENED: Agreement with Indiana Dept. of Transportation WHAT IT MEANS: Councilor Sue Finkam introduced three ordinances adopting an agreement between the city and the Indiana Dept. of Transportation regarding the U.S. 31 project.

The agreement would include the transfer of portions of old U.S. 31 in Hamilton County and determine landscape and road maintenance from 96th Street to 146th Street.

WHAT’S NEXT: These three ordinances have been referred to the Land Use, Annexation and Economic Development Committee. The committee’s next meeting will be today at 5:30 p.m. in the Caucus Room at City Hall.

Homeowners question dealership

Have a Better Spring.

By Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Plan Commission’s Feb. 19 public hearing opened with a clarification from Butler Hyundai’s attorney Tim Ochs of Ice Miller.

“We are not here tonight about a gasoline station. And maybe I should repeat that,” he said.

Ochs presented Butler Hyundai’s plans for almost 10 acres at the northwest corner of 96th Street and Randall Road. The plans propose a 37,000-square-foot auto dealership and repair garage.

Plans include rerouting a portion of Randall Drive onto Butler’s property with a roundabout entrance to the dealership. The reroute aligns Randall with the existing traffic light to the west on 96th Street.

Ochs “We believe that’s an immensely safer traffic proposition than what exists there now,” Ochs said.

Ochs pointed out that Butler’s development team discussed this design with city engineer Mike McBride to address traffic and flooding concerns.

“That (reroute) will be done at our cost,” Ochs said.

About 100 residents from the Williamson Run neighborhood north of this property attended and expressed general support for the dealership but requested the commission address specific concerns before approving the plan.

Residents requested a commitment regarding Tyner Woods, the 19-acre northern parcel of the property that borders Williamson Run. Homeowner and real estate agent Chris Dykes said, “Tyner Woods was designated as a certified forest and provided a beautiful buffer between our neighborhood and 96th Street.”

Homeowner Julie Cooley explained that, in the past, nearby developments by Dan Young and Tom Woods included covenants restricting 24-hour businesses.

“It’s not unreasonable for us to ask the same considerations from the Butler group,” she said.

A rendering of the proposed dealership (Submitted photo)

“Our neighborhood is not anti-development,” said homeowner Frische.

Homeowners expressed concerns about increased traffic and suggested restrictions on test drives through the neighborhood.

Eric Powell, father of two young children who “will be learning to ride their bikes” in this neighborhood, asked for a review of potential traffic. “All we want is careful planning, careful development.”

“The commitments we’re willing to enter into deal with this project and this project only,” Ochs said. “Anything else is premature.”

The commission will review neighborhood concerns with the developer before the Special Studies Committee meeting March 6 at 6 p.m.

They will also address issues with two small outlots flanking the dealership.

“The Williamson Run neighborhood will continue to be active participants in the next meeting on March 6 and on an on-going basis throughout this entire process,” Frische said.

“Carmel has historically done a great job of encouraging new business development, while at the same time protecting the value of our neighborhoods,” Cooley said. “So, we’re optimistic that the developer will now work with us, and a solution will be found.”

COMMUNITY Philanthropy

Yummy PTO fundraiser planned Commentary by Jeff Worrell If I didn’t know better, I would swear Jennifer Penix and Ann Bernard have super powers.

With only two pair of hands between them, they have managed to create the illusion that they are a precision event planning team of twenty. The co-chairs of the 10th annual Taste of Carmel have assembled 40 eateries willing to feed you an unlimited supply of food and drink for just $30. But wait, there’s more. If you buy your tickets in advance at http://tasteofcarmel2013.eventbrite.com the price is slashed to just $25. Unbelievable value in a world of escalating food costs and forgettable entertainment right in the heart of Carmel and the best part; kids win.

The Taste of Carmel is not just a great Thursday evening, March 7, with your spouse, friends or business associates, but a great opportunity to step out and help Orchard Park Elementary PTO. We all know that every school in the Carmel Clay School Corp. is well funded by our tax dollars. And, we can take great pride in the Parent-Teacher Organization tradition which occurs in every school corporation building across Carmel. Each PTO strives to enhance the student educational experience by raising money to fund the extras. In the case of Orchard Park Elementary, they must rely heavily on the entire community as its PTO is unable to call on just

its parents for additional resources. So, Taste of Carmel, a promise of unique and gourmet food backed up with 10 years of experience, is their fund-raising solution.

Jennifer and Ann pledge not just food and drink at this adult only event, but a silent auction using the latest smart phone technology for bidding. Items available in the silent auction include several Payton Manning footballs, birthday party packages, golf outings, jewelry, trips, Vera Bradley items and much more. Guests will enjoy a photo booth, caricature artist Richard Morris and Shane Rodimel on the acoustic guitar.

Come join me and 700 other Carmel foodies at the Ritz Charles for an enjoyable evening and lend a helping hand to the students at Orchard Park Elementary School. They hope to raise enough money to add soccer goals to their campus, some unique ORFF instruments to their music department and curriculum programming for their teachers. Put Taste of Carmel on your calendar and come edacious. For more information, contact jennpenix@indy.rr.com.

Local teen debuts 7th film

By Rushi Patel • news@currentincarmel.com Luke Broyles, a 13-year-old Carmel director, premiered his seventh feature length film on Saturday at the Orchard School. The film, titled “The Creature,” features more than 60 actors.

According to Broyles, he first got inspiration for the film’s script six years ago.

“This family has to escape from an alien invasion that’s being a threat to them; so, they have to leave to get to Canada, to a safer place,” Broyles said.

Broyles has been awarded more than 15 recognitions including a REEL Teens Film Festival audience award in 2010. He most recently traveled to Mali to make a documentary about the daily life and struggles of the people of a remote village.

“The Creature” is a science fiction film. According to Broyles, he filmed at many locations for “The Creature,” the farthest of which was in western Indiana’s Park County.

Broyles said some local members of his church with acting experience played a big part in his movie.

“The main actors had a lot of acting experience, and I knew that they would fit the story the best,” Broyles said. “Extras, they can just be anyone.”

According to Broyles, there may be more showings of "The Creature." However, since it just premiered, specific dates and times have not been set.

Broyles recently visited Mali for the filming of a documentary. (Submitted photo)

“That’s probably the main showing,” Broyles said. “It might show at some other places but those aren’t planned or anything, festivals maybe.”

Broyles said preparing “The Creature” took about a year. However, according to him, it took many years to plan for the movie.

“It took a year to film it, edit it, get the premiere ready, script all that, a few years to think of the characters, and basic plot and the design of the aliens. But, mainly just the year,” Broyles said.

According to Broyles, he thinks people of all ages should see “The Creature” if there are additional viewings in the future.

“It’s all ages, but I’d say probably ten-yearolds (are the target audience, but it’s for) any age group,” Broyles said. “I think it’s fun and if (viewers) really want to come out and see it, I think they should.”

WHAT TO EXPECT: Pretrial Discovery Devices In all legal proceedings, the exchange of information is crucial to being able to analyze and evaluate the overall positions of each party and to establish the elements to be considered and ultimately, divided or apportioned by agreement or by the Court. This process is referred to, generally, as discovery. Formal discovery tools exists for the parties to gather information from opposing parties and third parties for this purpose.

Discovery is a pre-trial process that prepares a case for trial and equips the client and attorney with information necessary to present the case to the court and confirm the basis for your position in order to promote out-of-Court settlement. Discovery allows all parties to examine any information deemed relevant to the case. In divorce, for instance, discovery would normally involve the exchange of financial documents such as bank statements, pay stubs, mortgage applications, bonus reports, life insurance disclosures, property deeds – even letters, text messages, and voice mail recordings as well as children’s grades, attendance records and the like. Anything “reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence” is deemed discoverable.

In many cases, Attorneys can agree to exchange discovery informally. In doing so, clients can save fees and time associated with drafting formal discovery and litigating any discovery disputes, presuming all sides are cooperative and forthcoming with the necessary information. More typically, each side will serve formal discovery requests, requiring the opposing party to verify the accuracy and completeness of his/her answers under oath and the penalties of perjury. This provides a basic snapshot of the

A number of formal discovery tools exist and in family law cases; the most commonly utilized discovery devices include: interrogatories; requests for production of document; requests for admissions; and depositions.

• Interrogatories are a formal set of written questions propounded by one litigant and required to be answered by an adversary, in order to clarify matters of fact and help to determine in advance what facts will be presented at any trial in the case.

• Requests for Production of Documents is a legal request for documents, electronically stored information, or other tangible items.

• Requests for Admissions set of statements sent from one litigant to an adversary, for the purpose of having the adversary admit or deny the statements or allegations therein.

• Deposition is the out-of-court oral testimony of a witness that is reduced to writing for later use in court or for discovery purposes.

COMMUNITY Viewpoint

A favorite Republican president From the “Moderate” Side by Jim Blessing Although I tend to be a supporter of Democratic presidential candidates, I recognize there have also been strong Republican presidents including Presidents Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower. A more recent Republican president who deserves praise is President George H.W. Bush (the first President Bush). Although I certainly didn’t agree with all of his actions (especially during his presidential campaign), I consider him the best Republican president since I started voting in 1972. George H.W. Bush is a good and decent man and was an honorable president.

Some of his positive actions were: • Steady leadership during the break-up of the Soviet Union; • Mobilized a United Nations coalition of countries to free Kuwait during the first Gulf war and pulled the troops out of Iraq immediately after winning; • Besides persuading non-participating countries (such as Japan) to finance a large part of the cost, the first President Bush signed a tax increase to pay for his Gulf war (unlike his son who cut taxes to “pay” for his wars).

This increase, along with President Bill Clinton’s, led to rising revenues and budget

surpluses by 1998; • Signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which marked the end of the long weapons buildup; and • Took action to resolve the savings and loan crisis, which his predecessor totally ignored.

Also, after NRA EVP Wayne LaPierre referred to federal law enforcement agents as “jack-booted thugs” who attack law abiding citizens (shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing), Mr. Bush expressed his outrage by resigning from the NRA. Lastly, I have a personal reason to praise Mr. Bush. He signed the Americans with Disabilities Act. This Act opened up all kinds of opportunities for the disabled, including the deaf. I personally became profoundly deaf at age five from the measles (I got a cochlear implant in 2010 which greatly improved my hearing). This legislation provided me with the tools that I needed to do my job, as my hearing significantly worsened over time. Thank you President Bush!

Carmel Dr. “Our reason for leaving the corner is a bit unexpected,” said Earley in an e-mail. “As a design business, foot traffic from visitors Earley to the city became quite heavy at times. This was fine when our retail only location was there, but as the design side of our business grew, the tourists (foot traffic) became a distraction. That corner is ideal for a retail-type business that sells smaller impulse items, something that would appeal to visitors as well as residents. The opportunity arose to move both retail and design to the Chateau building on Carmel Drive at a point when our lease was up for renewal.” walked through most of the galleries looking for a new art piece for around $200; they couldn’t find anything.

“The art doesn’t seem to be accessible for the average Hoosier,” Thompson said. “There definitely needs to be a greater range of prices. Many of these galleries could make more selling 10 items for $100 apiece than waiting all month to sell one $1,000 piece.”

Yager-French echoed Thompson’s thoughts, adding many of her customers are shocked by a lack of “arty” things to do when visiting.

“People come (to the district) once, but they don’t come back because things are too expensive and there aren’t enough things to see or do,” Yager-French said.

Gentry suggested that a lowered price of entry-level art may be too low to be economically feasible for most galleries.

“Our galleries have a variety of price points,” Gentry said. “But at the end of the day, each of the galleries wants to maintain a certain level of quality. $200 for a piece would definitely be an outlier.”

The future USPS: All zipped up

Safe cities

It is our position that Carmel and Fishers should be commended for being recognized among the Top 100 Safest Cities in America. The ranking, compiled

by NeighborhoodScout, looks at the number of property and violent crimes per 1,000 people for cities with more than 25,000 residents.

NeighborhoodScout collects raw crime data from all 17,000 law enforcement agencies in America and then uses a relational database to more accurately determine the complete number and types of crimes that truly occur in each city or town.

The mayors of both cities give credit to their police departments and the dedicated officers and civilians that work hard each day to keep the communities safe. The efforts of Crime Watch neighborhoods, the Citizens Police Academy and the Teen Academy are also credited with helping keep crime rates low in Carmel. Zionsville is not to be overlooked, as the city scores a safety index rating of 94 out of 100.

A big thank you goes out to law enforcement officials and the citizens of these great communities for making them among the best places to live in America. Safe haven communities are becoming a rarity, and we are lucky to be living among the few.

Into the light

Commentary by Terry Anker

We are well served in our fine community to be the beneficiary of more than our fair share of community stewards. There are many who dedicate tireless hours to those victimized by predator or circumstance. Among them is Toby Stark, executive director of Chaucie’s Place – a Hamilton County facility dedicated to child advocacy focusing on the prevention of child abuse. Ever one to evangelize for the work of her organization, Ms. Stark convinced me to participate in a training program, Stewards of Children, aimed at educating “parents and any adults who work with children” about child sexual abuse prevention.

In spite of my trepidation that the eveninglong class would lead to difficult emotional moments as folks tell of the kind of suffering perpetrated upon them as kids (which it does), I was greeted by a group of 20 or so adults eager to learn and help this indescribably worthy cause.

The thoughtful coursework is divided into three sessions, each a video followed by workbooks and then discussion. The empirical statistics

are breathtaking. And, behind these numbers are people, families and youngsters, all seeking meaning from meaningless and brutal acts.

Lisa Ridder, leader of the session, maneuvered the delicate topics with both deftness and respect, instilling a sense of awareness and urgency without creating suspicion or panic. Most abusers are trusted by the children and their families. They are relatives, teachers, coaches, religious and youth leaders. Too often, the institutions protect their employees and not those tikes in their care.

Yet with a modicum of education, sensitivity and engagement, we can significantly reduce the incidence of these crimes and increase the fear in the perpetrator. Edmund Burke is attributed with saying, “Evil prevails when good men fail to act.” Could we add, “When we fail to bring evil into the light?”

There are some things the two of us just don’t get. Take, for instance, the U.S. Postal Service.

In the wake of last year’s $15.9 billion loss came the news of the USPS forgoing Saturday delivery (except for packages and P.O. boxes).

Smart move, and we applauded it recently in this space; it just makes good business sense.

Then came last week’s report that the USPS is getting into the … wait for it … apparel business next year in an effort to improve its take.

Men first, then a line for women. Yes, nothing says economic repair like the launch of a new “cutting-edge functional fashion” line. That’s what Steven Mills, the USPS’s licensing manager, termed it in a statement last week. Yes, the USPS has a license manager. We shuddered at it all. Repeatedly.

Wouldn’t successfully negotiating even the most minor union concessions make just a wee bit more sense? After all, it wouldn’t necessitate renting a showroom in the Garment District in New York City, which is what the USPS is going to do, and we’re not exactly talking bargainbasement commercial real estate there. The folks at Northface, Eddie Bauer and Nike probably laughed their coattails off with news of this development. So, on the heels of increasing postage – yet again – last month, we now not only have the opportunity to pay more for stamps, but also soon to buy clothing that is said to accommodate an iPod. Huh. Isaac Crawford, CEO of Wahconah Group, Inc., which is going to manufacture the goods, told ABC News that we all should expect an “image-conscious, firstclass, high-end line.” Wow. Maybe it’s time for a new USPS motto: “Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds … and moving garments like never before.”

Must millennials move?

Editor, I applaud your insight on the diminished role of automobiles in the lives of the younger generation (“Car Talk,” Feb.19). As a recent college graduate, I returned to Central Indiana to work in downtown Indianapolis and live in Carmel.

While I am fortunate to own a car, others in my generation are not so lucky.

Many of us suffer from a mountain of student debt at a time when the job market is still reeling from the repercussions of the Great Recession. Car ownership entails high costs for both our pocketbook and the environment. Yet, Indianapolis remains car-dependent at a time when my peers and I do not wish to be.

Millennials are more interested in living in a city that offers cheap, flexible transportation without the headache of parking, traffic jams, and payment plans. With our congested roads, it’s not surprising that Indiana ranks last in the nation for retention and employment of college graduates.

To ensure future growth, Indianapolis must make itself more attractive to college graduates now. An expanded mass transit system for Hamilton and Marion counties, like the Indy Connect plan currently under consideration, is the solution my generation needs. Should we have to make another city our home just to get around?

U.S. 31’s end is a ‘boondoggle’ Editor, I would have never dreamed that access to U.S. 31 from Northbound Range Line Road would end. This is a major boondoggle on someone’s part. If you want to go north or south on U.S. 31, you must snake your way through Clay Terrace to 146 Street then find an exit ramp onto U.S. 31. Businesses on Range Line

Luckily, I’m habit-forming

Dog mess causes an epiphany Commentary by Danielle Wilson A couple of things ran through my mind as I was frantically searching for paper towel to clean up dog vomit in my bedroom recently: Why didn’t we go to Costco on Sunday to restock? and Is it too early for a Coors Light? Our puppy had already kept me awake half of the night with diarrhea, and my husband, Doo, was away on business, no doubt sleeping deeply in a comfortable four-poster. A breakfast beer seemed like a good option.

Later, as I fought the urge to heave myself (it’s the smell that always gets me) and imagined various methods of torturing Doo once he returned, another thought occurred to me: Maybe this was God’s way of punishing me for not appreciating Doo. I have been kind of naggy lately, and with all the stress of work and kids and the dog, I haven’t gone out of my way to be nice to him. Basically, all I want to do when I get home each evening is eat chicken pot pie in silence, watch “Rattlesnake Nation,” and then go to sleep as soon as I can sneak away.

And I’ve definitely taken Doo for granted. Instead of thanking him for doing dishes or buying crickets for the lizards, I complain about the laundry not being started or that the cat is out of litter. Admittedly, I’ve been a tad selfish, unloving and inconsiderate.

I shouldn’t be taking all of my frustration

and anxiety out on Doo; after all, it’s really the dog that has turned me into a crazy lady. She’s significantly added to my already overflowing “to do” list by being one extra “person” who needs my love and attention. In reality, I should be thanking sweet baby Jesus that I have Doo in my life to take on the majority of her care (and to keep the liquor cabinet stocked).

So, yes, I was exhausted and had to sop up a hot mess in a skirt and heels, but cursing Doo with every salty sailor swear word I could think of was probably not the right approach. Luckily for my marriage, my epiphany helped me clamp down on the bitterness and channel my misery into something more productive, like a column about the misfortunes of a temporary single mother with a puking puppy.

One small victory, to be sure, but it’s a start.

I believe God’s a prankster, and I’m choosing to believe that this morning’s incident was His/Her way of calling attention to how much I need my husband in my life. Doo can certainly drive me batty, but without him, I’d no doubt be a Costco groupie with a booze problem. Peace out.

Who’s to say what a good habit is and what a bad habit is? I don’t think you can trust the people you are actually annoying to be objective about this.

After 32 years of marriage, Mary Ellen told me the other day that my whistling was driving her crazy. “How long have you felt this way?” I asked.

“Oh, just the last two or three… decades,” she told me.

“Do I do it all the time?”

“You were doing it under your breath duringt he movie “Les Miserables” the other night, which is pretty amazing. I didn’t think a human being could cry and whistle at the same time.”

I denied this was a persistent problem and that it was really nothing more than an outward display of my always sunny disposition.

But my wife was adamant. “You’ve whistled our entire marriage – when you are shaving, cleaning up in the basement, driving in the car.

Most people don’t like to get up in the morning for their job. Name one other person who whistles on the way to work.”

“I can name seven. Dopey, Grumpy, Sleepy…

(Nuts, I couldn’t remember all seven.)

To prove my wife was wrong, I called my sister in New York to see if there was a history of whistling in my past.

“Well, my friends did call our mom Whistler’s Mother, she said.”

I asked Mary Ellen if there were any other habits she had never mentioned.

“You always bounce your right leg. It started on our honeymoon. At first, I thought it was some kind of mating ritual. It hasn’t stopped for 32 years. You shake your leg when you watch TV, when you have dinner, when you read the paper, and at restaurants. Sometimes I just want to go into the garage, get a sledge hammer and crush your knee.

“Wow, you’d do that to a guy while he was whistling?”

“You make this little moaning, guttural noise in the bottom of your throat. I used to think it was kind of romantic, but you even do it when you clean out the kitty litter.”

“Gee, if I’m that bad, why have you stayed married to me?”

“Heaven knows. You must be habit forming.”

NIGHT & DAY Et cetera

The Master • R, 144 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd Ambitious, vexing, jubilant and depressing, “The Master” is a film that neither Hollywood nor audiences quite knew what to do with.

It was first touted as “the Scientology movie,” received respectful but somewhat puzzled reviews, and was then largely ignored by ticket buyers. But it scored three Oscar nominations for its wonderful acting, including Joaquin Phoenix, who I think gave the performance of the year.

It is writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson’s first film since “There Will Be Blood,” and if there’s any mainstream filmmaker today who deserves to be called an auteur, it’s him.

The tale is about Freddie Quell (Phoenix), an unhinged, alcoholic veteran struggling to assimilate back into society after World War II. He

stumbles into the den of Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the charismatic leader of a quasi-religious order called “The Cause,” and the two men each discover the other satisfies a yearning in themselves they didn’t even recognize.

“The Master” is less concerned with plot than the strange, spinning dance between the pair, with other characters such as Dodd’s wife (Amy Adams) forced to resentfully orbit around the gravitational pull they share.

It’s not always a smooth cinematic ride, but one worth taking. Movie: B Read more of Chris Lloyd’s review of current films and DVDs at www. captaincritic.blogspot.com or www. thefilmyap.com.

My problem is that I now have an apron of skin and fat that hangs over and has started causing a lot of discomfort during any form of exercise. I am doing all I can from a diet and exercise standpoint. Should I go ahead with tummy tuck surgery now or wait until I lose more weight?

A: Now that you have hit the proverbial wall and have an overhanging apron (pannus), I think you would benefit from a tummy tuck

now. The psychological benefits would be enormous and would empower you to lose the additional weight afterward. Tummy tuck surgery itself will cause some additional weight loss, usually in the range of three to seven pounds.

An identical amount of weight loss can occur from the recovery process (burning calories to heal). This is why many tummy tuck patients like you lose 15 to 20 pounds by six to eight weeks after surgery.

DOUGH Personal Finance

Telecommuters, are you covered?

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Abbey G. from Noblesville: My office allows me to work from home when I need to. Are there any insurance issues I need to worry about?

Answer from Jamie Ianigro: If you have an ongoing arrangement that allows you to work at home in any capacity, you will be considered a telecommuter. The special privilege of reduced commuting also brings some special insurance considerations in play.

Bringing your work home with you can have some unintended consequences. The main reason is because most homeowner’s policies severely restrict or exclude coverage for business property. This is further complicated by the fact that business property is usually pretty valuable.

Business property could include anything your employer provides for you to work at home including computers, printers, phone equipment, valuable paperwork, etc.

Liability issues can also arise when you’re working from home. A typical homeowner’s policy will completely exclude business related losses. A social guest slipping and falling is a simple, and common, claim that your homeowner’s policy will cover. Switch it around and make that guest a business guest and you can have liability issues for you and for your employer. Liability claims are never fun, but they’re a lot less fun when your homeowner’s policy excludes them.

A stock to watch – This year, take a look at Cheniere Energy (LNG). According to MSN Money, the exporter of natural gas is the only company out there that currently has the license to do so in the U.S. – www. money.msn.com

Using your personal vehicle for job-related activities, like making deliveries or client calls, can also cause some issues. Most personal auto policies exclude job-related use. Driving to and from work would not fall under job-related use. Some examples of job-related use would be: picking up a client at the airport, running to the store to restock the office vending machine, driving to and from client appointments, etc.

Now that you have a better idea of what you should be worried about, you should take a minute to document what you do so your employer and your independent insurance agent can make sure you’re covered properly. Make note of the following: • What routine job duties do you perform in your home?

• Are any tasks hazardous?

• Who visits your home because of your job?

• Is a certain part of your home dedicated as a work area/office?

• What equipment is used in your job? Who owns each piece of equipment?

The answers to these questions will be a great start for you and your independent insurance agent to make sure you are adequately protected.

LIFESTYLE Crafting

Kids Need Kid-friendly spring-time creations adventure. challenge. direction. growth.

Commentary by Ashley Phipps

I love crafts that I can do with my kids. First, because it gives us something to do that we all love and enjoy working on. Second, when kids can accomplish tasks like this all by themselves, it gives them a huge boost of confidence. In addition, it can give kids an opportunity to explore their creative side along with the chance to work on improving their fine motor skills. So basically, kid crafts are awesome.

So today, I am excited to show you a super fun, really simple craft that is perfect for spring or Easter. And one of the best parts is that this is a craft my 6-year-old can do all by herself.

Well, with adult supervision of course.

Jelly Bean Easter Cone Basket You will need: • Ice cream cones, cake (flat bottom) • Twizzlers (or similar) • Jelly beans or other item to fill cone • Knife (I used a kid safe knife from Pampered Chef, so this made it safer for my 6-year-old to do. She was only allowed to

do this under my supervision of course.

Please always supervise your kids when doing this.)

How to do: 1. Using a knife, carefully make holes in the sides of the ice cream cone. You will simply put the tip of the knife in the side of the cone and twist it into the cone to make a hole. Be careful not to make the hole too big.

2. Carefully insert a Twizzler into the holes.

3. Fill the cone with jelly beans or other candy.

This would make a cute place holder for the Easter dinner table or a cute gift for your child to hand out to his/her friends. It’s really a perfect craft for any spring-time or Easter celebration or just for your kids to enjoy!

Happy crafting!

LIFESTYLE Grammar Guy

Don’t let your participles hang Commentary by Jordan Fischer I heard a new accusation about Hoosiers recently: Apparently, we love our dangling participles. Furthermore, it’s been alleged that our grammatical dalliances are infecting the rest of the country.

The nerve of the accusation, right?

While I’m confident my participles are firmly fixed and double-bolted to the correct nouns, I thought the subject of dangling participles was worth an article.

We’ve talked about participles before – a verb form which modifies nouns or noun phrases – so I won’t go into too much background on them. Since the present participle of a verb always ends in “-ing,” and the past tense can have a variety of endings, we’ll focus on present participles. The rules are the same.

When used correctly, a participle or participle phrase acts as an adjective. For example: “Flipping through the magazine, I found an interesting article.” The participle phrase tells us what the speaker was doing when he or she found the article.

When used incorrectly, participle phrases can create confusion, humorous or otherwise. In

this case, they are said to be “dangling,” as it is unclear what noun they are intended to modify.

Here’s an example: “Jumping over the fence, the cow looked at me strangely.” While it’s not unthinkable that the narrator is describing an acrobatic cow, it’s more likely that he was talking about himself. However, the dangling participle makes this unclear. A more effective way of writing this sentence would be: “Jumping over the fence, I received a strange look from a cow.”

Dangling participles can appear anywhere in a sentence. When they do, they’re typically caused by a lack of attention to detail. The fix is simple: Move the participle so that confusion is alleviated. Often this can be accomplished by placing the participle as close as possible to its intended noun. Do this, and your participles should be dangle-free.

Oh, and watch out for jumping cows. They’re a menace.

One of the hottest trends in the home furnishing industry is intensely colored leather.

Before you ask the anticipated question, “Where did you find a cow that color?” be assured that it is just a dye, just as with more natural colors.

It is striking to enter a room that is anchored with an emerald green leather ottoman or a teal leather chair, and the pieces provide a powerful intrigue to the space.

Although leather is easily maintained and has superior durability compared to many other upholstery materials, leather furniture care is still required to ensure its longevity.

Whether the source of your leather piece is a traditional brown cow or one of the “newer green, red and blue cows,” the first thing to do is to protect it from the UV rays of the sun. It is always good to start by closing the drapes. If they are properly lined and interlined, the drapery will block the UV rays which are so damaging to hardwood, carpet and fabrics as well as leather furnishings.

Tinting the windows is the first line of defense if treatments are stationary or not appropriate for a window. In addition, dry rooms can cause leather to dry out and lose its supple nature. Leather furnishings should be placed at least six inches away from any continuous heat source.

Since leather is a product of nature, it has unique qualities and properties all its own as well as a rich look and touch of luxury. Over time, the aging of the leather brings out the natural patina so the more you use your furniture the more beautiful it becomes!

Maintaining is really quite basic: • Never use solvents, furniture polish, abrasive cleaners or any other type of chemical product.

INSIDE & OUT Outdoors

Reap the benefits of spending time outdoors Commentary by Randy Sorrell Awareness continues to grow of the wellness benefits associated with an active outdoor lifestyle. Prompted by our self-medicating lifestyles (guilty), Americans are being reminded that relaxing on your patio, hiking in the park and working in your yard are necessary components for thriving personal health – physically, spiritually and mentally. Family too.

A recent study noted, “Spending time in natural settings improves brain function, restoring your ability to exercise directed attention and working memory.” Meaning, it allows our attention circuits to heal and hastens recovery from fatigue. Anyone fatigued?

Several Facebook friends celebrated what jazzes them about luxury outdoor living and entertaining on their patios: • Stephanie Smith Lewis, “I love grilling!!!”

• Judy Ford, “It’s so good to be thinking about spring and summer and the good times to come outdoors.”

• Amanda Arnsperger Black, “Creating an environment for “unmanufactured” memories for our kids and a tranquil respite for us once they’re in bed.”

• Eric Etchison, “I feel it’s a special place to catch up on life with family and friends.

When you step outside you seem to leave all behind. It provides a place where eye

contact and meaningful conversation is happening. I enjoy the spark and energy in my kids’ eyes as they bounce around the patio and discuss school and their life.

There is just something about being outdoors that today’s crazy life, schedules and technology can’t replace.”

There’s a reason your happiest, most grateful friends are those with cool patios, edgy fire features, stunning landscapes and mulch stained jeans. Sure, the healthy immune spikes from

vitamin D, which also prevents cancer and curbs heart disease, helps. But the real “phones banned” value is gained from fresh air, physical exertion, relaxing, socializing and gathering.

Live a little. A lot!

DOUBLE TWIST Have you always wondered how to create a classic Audrey Hepburn-inspired hair twist? Follow these simple steps for this classy and sophisticated look with a modern flair.

1. Part your hair down the middle, leaving the crown area loose, and put about 5 or 6 bobby pins down each side of the part (this will serve as an anchor to your style).

2. Second, twist all of your hair on the right side in toward the part you created, forming a role. Secure this role with pins, making sure to place them all the way to your neck for ultimate security.

3. Fluff the hair left open on the crown of your head and sweep it back into a small bun, securing with hairspray.

4. Next, repeat the rolling process with the left side of your hair. Tuck the ends in and secure with pins.

5. Last, hiding the pins between the “seam” between the roles, blend both sides together, working upward. Finally, work a dab of shine serum, such as Salon 01’s Shine and Define, in the palms of your hands, and smooth over the entire style to eliminate frizz. Set the style with some hairspray.

INSIDE & OUT Indoors

A powder room is a small space for big opportunities Commentary by David Decker The term “powder room” actually dates back to the 18th century when many aristocrats would build a small room in their home where people could take a break from the big party and get their wigs re-powdered. While powdered wigs aren’t exactly all the rage anymore, homeowners still like to have a small room in the home to accommodate guests. Today, a powder room is just another name for a “half bath” or small bathroom that features only a sink and a toilet.

Because of its small size, the powder room is the place where you can take chances and get creative with design. Unlike larger, actively used rooms like the kitchen, you don’t have to worry much about functionality. You will likely have a limited floor plan, which is why you can focus your full attention on aesthetics. Go for intense colors, bold patterns or an unusual accent piece: anything that might grab attention.

The walls in a powder room are essentially blank canvases just waiting for you to get creative. Forget neutrals. Try painting the walls with a bold color such as chocolate brown, navy, yellow or ruby. Although conventional design wisdom says that using deep colors in a small space can make it look smaller, feel free to ignore that rule when designing the powder room.

There’s no need to make it look spacious. Go for

creating the best possible lighting. You may want to bypass conventional over-the-mirror lighting in favor of sconces or overhead lighting, which will add a unique touch to the room.

The powder room is also a great place to implement some delicate or pricier pieces.

Choose an exotic stone for a vanity countertop, install hardwood flooring or a vessel sink. You can also afford to spend a little bit more decorative pieces like artwork or mirrors. You won’t need much to fill the room, so choose items that make a real impact.

Lastly, don’t forget about the little details. Pay attention to everything from the drawer pulls you select, to the faucets, soap dispensers and towel racks. Have fun experimenting with materials and ideas that you wouldn’t get a chance to use anywhere else in the home.

exciting instead. Wall treatments can be pricey, but because there’s significantly less area to cover in a powder room, it is the perfect place to ex-

periment with wallpaper, tile, wood and more.

It’s likely that this room will have no natural light, so your choice in fixtures will be key in
