INDOT has announced plans to accelerate U.S. 31 construction, and the changes will mean a portion of the road will close in April and the resulting traffic will be redirected onto KeyTHE COMMUTE stone Parkway.

That closure had previously been scheduled for 2015.

Early utility relocations and cleared right-of-way will allow the previously planned closure of U.S. 31 between Old Meridian Street and 136th Street in Carmel to begin on or after April 4.

U.S. 31 will reopen to traffic before Thanksgiving 2014 as construction on the corridor continues through the end of 2015.

INDOT spokesman Nathan Riggs said that although there are no huge cost savings associated with moving the closure dates to 2014, there were just more construction benefits to completing the necessary work this year.

The benefits for motorists and construction crews include: “ Improving work zone safety while elevation changes are made for new bridges at 126th Street/Carmel Drive, 131st Street/Main Street and 136th Street. “ Shortening the closure duration to eight months, compared to approximately 10 months if the closure were to happen during 2015. “ Balancing traffic impacts of overpass and interchange construction across 2014 and 2015. “ Removing traffic signals from 8 miles of U.S. 31 through Carmel and Westfield by the end of 2014. “ Allowing INDOT to honor its commitment to open the new U.S. 31 Hamilton County freeway to traffic by the end of 2015.

Keystone Parkway and I-465 will serve as the official detour, while Carmel city streets will provide access to businesses on either side of U.S. 31.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said that cars and SUVs can get around the closure by utilizing Pennsylvania and Old Meridian streets.

He also noted that Carmel Drive will remain a viable way to cross U.S. 31.

But is the city ready for the trucks that will traverse Keystone?

“Yes. We started preparing over a decade ago,�

Brainard said. “I think Keystone will work well.�

He said there is going to be a period of adjustment required from Carmel drivers, but that a good local road system is going to help. “There’s been a lot of thought given to detour routes,� Brainard said.

But one intersection that can’t be avoided is the stoplight at 96th Street and Keystone Parkway.

Brainard said it’s a city-maintained stoplight that will need to feature a long north-south green light.

Riggs said INDOT will be modifying signage along Keystone Parkway, evaluating traffic models and constantly working to monitor the roads for improvements.

Public meetings The new U.S. 31 Hamilton County project team has scheduled meetings this week to help businesses and emergency responders to prepare for the effects of the additional traffic.

Public open houses also are scheduled in midMarch 18 at Carmel High School and March 19 at Westfield Middle School, 345 West Hoover St. Each open houses will run from 5:30 to 8 p.m. with a presentation at 6 p.m. “We want to make sure that the businesses along the corridor are getting updates, and that we’re hearing their concerns as well,� Riggs said.

School awarded health grant from NFL School Board Recap 1h 2WaXb 1PeT]STa “ news@currenincarmel.com

For the second year, Carmel Elementary School has been awarded a grant from Fuel Up to Play 60 – sponsored by the NFL and the National Dairy Council.

The $3,500 grant will provide EDUCATION funding for physical and nutritional incentives with the goal of encouraging students to eat healthy and move more. “To receive this means that our hard work is paying off and we are able to provide some wonderful incentives for our students. It reaffirms our strong wellness initiative and helps to raise awareness for our students and assist them in making good healthy choices,� said Jeannette Gould, the school’s wellness coordinator. “It is wonderful to know that our wellness program is being recognized by such a wonderful national organization whose goals we share in promoting student health.�

Gould and school nurse, Diane Braun, applied for the grant on behalf of the wellness committee at the end of October, and learned the good news in mid-December. Gould said the process to apply was simple. “You complete an online school wellness investigation to assist in identifying your school’s strengths in nutrition, physical education/activities and family/ community,� she said. “There is an online application to be completed that details funding request and goals that involve both a healthy eating plan and a physical activity plan that you designate based upon their ‘playbook’ of school tested strategies for creating a healthy environment.�

Compiled by Pete Smith

What happened: The school board approved extending school days to make up for snow days.

What it means: Effective March 6, the new school day for Carmel High School will be from 7:45 a.m. to 3:20 p.m.; middle schools’ days will be from 7:40 a.m. to 3:20 p.m.; and elementary schools’ days will be from 8:03 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. Individual class periods will be lengthened to make the accommodation. New bus stop times will be available at myCCS. In the event of additional closure days, make-up days will be added after the regularly scheduled end of the school year on May 29.

Carmel Elementary School received a grant to improve students’ diets and health. (Submitted photo)

The grant will continue to help improve education at the school, Gould said, because better nutrition and being physically active have been shown to improve overall academic successes. “By receiving this funding we are able to enhance and build upon what we began last year. Last year we were able to purchase some wonderful heart rate monitors for the school that assist the students in better understanding their cardiovascular health,� she said. “Providing the jicama and fig tasting to the entire school has helped to expand some of their meal choices.�

This year, the school will use the money to add activity stations around its quarter-mile walking trail. “These are focused on strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health,� Gould said. “We are also doing some great yogurt parfait sampling for our students to encourage them to make some healthy food choices.�

Carmel Elementary School has also been designated as a “Touchdown School� by the Fuel Up to Play 60 organization by meeting six different aspects of health and fitness promotion.

What happened: Asst. Supt. Roger McMichael presented the district’s financial update.

What it means: McMichael reported that state funding will increase by $4 million for 2014-15. But next year’s total budget will be reduced by about $800,000 from the 2013-14 total because of the expiration of a federal grant, an increase in electricity costs and an increase of about $150,000 in fees for legal services.

What it means: The large weaving looms are being stored at the high school because the fiber arts courses no longer have a need for them. They haven’t been used for several years, and they have no value to the art department.

What’s next: The donated looms will be used for weaving courses for the general public.

What happened: The school board approved a stormwater-related change order.

What it means: Gibraltar Construction was paid $77,303 to reroute storm What’s next: sewers to improve drainage around the Carmel High School Fitness Center No further acAddition. tion needed.

In other news: The school board recognized Woodbrook Elementary School teacher Jay Vahle for receiving the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching; Creekside Middle School director of bands Wendy Higdon for receiving the 50 Directors Who Make a Difference designation; Clay Middle School teacher Jeff Frizzi for receiving the Indiana String Teacher Association’s Middle School Orchestra Teacher of the Year Award; and Carmel High School teacher Maggie Hite for receiving the Indiana String Teacher Association’s New Teacher of the Year Award.

The two practice fields north of the Carmel High School football stadium, the stadium field and the adjoining Murray Field soccer stadium will all get new synthetic field turf before the fall sports season begins. (Staff photo)

CHS fields replaced with turf

1h ?TcT B\XcW “ pete@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Clay School Board approved a bid to have a contractor install new synthetic field turf on three athletic fields at the high school and replace the existing turf in the SPORTS football stadium during its meeting Feb. 24.

Contractor Sprinturf will be awarded the $1.9-million contract to install the synthetic turf on the two practice fields north of the football stadium and the field of the Murray Field soccer stadium, as well as conduct drainage improvements prior to the installation.

Those three fields will comprise the first phase of the project said Carmel Athletics Director Jim Inskeep. Work on replacing them will begin in April and should hopefully be completed in June.

Inskeep said the work on replacing the stadium field will begin June 8 and be completed before the start of football practice in August.

The Carmel Dads’ Club will pay $400,000 toward the cost of the practice fields, and an agreement will allow them to use the fields when high school teams don’t have a need. “We saw an opportunity here to help one another,� said Carmel Dads’ Club President Jack Beery.

Beery said that while grass fields often are unusable in late fall and early spring, the new turf fields will allow practice anytime the temperature is above 30 degrees.

The fields will also help: “ Avoid cancellations.

“ Prevent injuries. “ Not tear up fields during practice.

Beery also said that all sports will benefit from the turf. The practice fields will have permanent lacrosse, soccer and football lines, but they’ll be available for any team to practice on. “The new turf practice fields will actually have the biggest impact on the multiple sports that will now be able to practice on a perfect surface,� said CHS football coach Kevin Wright. “All the turf fields allow the ability of traditional usage of about 60-80 hours a season to now being able to safely utilize those same fields 60-80 hours per week.� “Since the football stadium and Murray Stadium are constantly being used, except when snow covered, by physical education classes, the CHS football, soccer, lacrosse and cross-country teams, plus at times the swim club, CHS swimming, wrestling and track teams, CHS’ band, Carmel Dads’ Club, after school community activities and neighborhood kids, it is very difficult to maintain a safe grass surface,� said CHS girls soccer coach Frank Dixon. “Since many of those activities go on rain or shine, the grass fields develop ruts, bald spots and holes that lead to ankle sprains and other injuries including concussions.� “Our kids will be playing on the safest surface out there which is huge in preventing injuries,�

Wright said. “The turf fields will definitely be an asset to both the school system and the community,�

Dixon said.

Township to discuss fire station improvements

1h :PaT] :T]]TSh “ karenk@youarecurrent.com A couple of Carmel fire stations could soon be receiving some improvements through Clay Township.

GOVERNMENT The two stations targeted for improvements are Station 44 at 5032 E. Main Street and Station 43 at 3242 E. 106th Street.

Fire Chief Matt Hoffman is expected to make a presentation to the Clay Township board in March regarding the needs of the stations. “We talk about fire stations all the time,� said township board member Mary Eckhard. “The fire department is one of our top priorities, along with relief for the poor. We are looking at doing this sooner rather than later and we are looking forward to Chief Hoffman’s presentation.� “Because Doug Callahan, our trustee, is a former fire chief, he is closely in touch with the fire department’s needs,� Eckhard said. “These two stations, as I believe are the oldest ones, have been targeted for attention. We need to hear what their needs are and then sit down and figure out what we can afford to do.� “The most important factor in all of this is that there will be no increase in tax dollars,� Callahan said. “By December of 2015, we will have the two firehouses on the west side (136th Street and Springmill Road, and 106th Street and Shelbourne Road) paid off. So we could look into using those funds, but it’s all up to the board.�

SERVING CARMEL FOR OVER

28 YEARS

Fire station 44 on East Main Street could benefit from improvements to increase the living space for the firefighters who work there. (Staff photo)

“The main focus, I would think, would be Station 44,� Callahan said. “It was built in 1980, and it was built to house three to four guys. Now we have 18 people working out of that station, six per shift; plus more equipment. Even when I was there seven years ago, it was tight.�

According to Eckhard, all of the firehouses in Carmel are connected through an interlocal agreement between the township and the city. “But we can focus on the firehouses, because

we don’t have the expenses that the city of Carmel has,� Eckhard said.

In the end, it all comes down to funds. “The township is about to pay off one of its bonds,� said township board president Matt Snyder. “If and only if we could levy another bond and keep the tax rates the same, then we would explore the idea of capital improvement projects for the Carmel Clay Fire Department.�

Before Your Spouse Does DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW MEDIATION & COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law DUI 317.DIVORCE | www.hzlegal.com

11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

In any divorce case, there are two main categories of issues to be resolved prior to finalization: child-related issues and those related to the division of the martial estate. Under Indiana law (an absent a prenuptial agreement), the marital estate, or “marital pot,� is comprised of any and all assets and liabilities acquired prior to or during the marriage, whether through inheritance or gift. The date the parties file the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage effectively “cuts off� what is included in the marital estate and; therefore, those items which are subject to division by the Court. Generally, assets or debts acquired by either spouse subsequent to the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage are considered separate property of that individual.

Indiana law presumes that an equal (50%/50%) division of the marital estate is fair and equitable. In order to determine the overall estate, each litigant and/or their counsel, must perform due diligence to determine (1) what compromises the marital estate and (2) the values of each asset/liability therein. A majority of assets and liabilities are valued on the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Therefore, the marital estate will be a “snapshot� of what existed on that day and the values on that same day.

The Court and the parties have discretion, however, to value certain assets as of the date of distribution. Most often, Courts will choose to value assets which fluctuate due to market changes at the time of distribution to either party, less any post date-of-filing contributions made by the account holder, to allow both parties to equally share in those gains or losses of any such accounts during the pendency of the divorce.

In determining the value of real property, the parties may use appraisals, property tax assessments, and comparative market analyses to agree upon a value for the marital residence and/or additional properties. Courts place most weight on the values put forth in formal appraisals; thus, if parties are unable to agree upon the value of real property – Courts can often be confronted with competing appraisals and expert testimony from the appraiser.

Alternatively, in the event parties agree to list a piece of property for sale, they may agree that whatever proceeds actually received are to be equally divided between the two spouses.

The latter approach allows for the divorcing parties to finalize the divorce without having to await the sale of their house.

Either party may request, however, a deviation from the presumed 50%/50% division in his or her favor which the Court may grant, if the Court deems the request appropriate after considering evidence presented and the statutory factors allowing for such deviations. Litigants would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with such requests.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

New tenant for Chaos building?

1h :PaT] :T]]TSh “ karenk@youarecurrent.com

A prominent Main Street building soon could have a new tenant, as owner Bob Merrill confirms that he is in lease negotiations for the vacant space at 37 W. Main Street GOVERNMENT that was the former home of the Chaos clothing shop.

The history of the ownership of the building has been difficult to follow. The Carmel clerk-treasurer recently released a list of Carmel Redevelopment Commission properties that included the building.

But that is no longer the case.

According to sale agreements on Laserfiche, the city’s searchable records database, the CRC bought the building on land contract in 2009 and optioned the liquor license associated with the address from Old Town Properties.

The sale agreement indicated that the purchase price of the building was $380,000 and the value of the liquor license was $20,000. The CRC contracted to pay $2,435.87 per month for a period of 20 years. The CRC retained the option of purchasing the liquor license at a later date, and according to the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission, the license is currently owned by 31 E. Main Street LLC. In July 2013, the CRC sold the property to Merrill for $10, and in exchange the CRC obtained the parking lot behind the buildings on that side of the block.

The documents indicate that the CRC planned

THE HOWALD DEAL: NEW FURNACE IN 2014 = $2014

to refurbish the space for restaurant use. They also indicate that, at one point, former CRC executive director Les Olds planned to demolish a 717-square-foot portion of the Chaos building, but according to Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, Olds later decided that the demolition of any portion of the building would result in structural instability, so the building was left intact.

The city then created a plan for improvements to the parking lot, which the city now maintains.

A plan for a public parking lot with 141 spaces was included in the documents pertaining to the trade. But several of the buildings included in that plan are not currently for sale. “That plan was done some time ago,� Brainard said. “It is one option of many.�

According to the mayor’s office, the city plans to make improvements to the lot when sufficient funds are available.

Carmel students danced for Riley Commentary by Jeff Worrell

With the memory of exhaustion waning and the blisters healing nicely, the dancers are now entering the VOLUNTEERISM sense-of-accomplishment phase.

Last Saturday just fewer than 1,100 students from Carmel High School danced their way to a new fundraising record of $324,500 for Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health.

Teacher and faculty sponsor Sarah Wolff is quick to point out the event is not just about the money raised.

“We do not ever set a monetary goal. Instead, we like to focus on participation. We want to get as many kids involved as possible,” Wolff said. “The community we live in is very generous, and the money takes care of itself.”

Throughout the year leading up to the Feb. 22 Dance Marathon, the student government organizes fundraisers and gears them to appeal to different segments of the student and community population. Wolff is proud of the fact that students with various interests and skill-sets get so involved in helping Riley Kids.

“The teenage years can be self-centered, and for many dancers who hear the stories about the struggles of disease, it can be a wake-up call for them,” she said.

One of the events held this winter to raise

money was a Zumba Class at Shotime Dance Studio. The business donated all of the class fees, instructor time and facility to the Dance Marathon.

“The participants became aware their money was going to Riley, and it became a great success,” Wolff said.

Another student club organized an ultimate Frisbee tournament while an entirely different crowd put on a video game tourney. Each month there was a major event to support the Dance Marathon.

The dance itself has grown exponentially over the past nine years. During the first year, just 300 students danced their way to a $35,000 check for Riley. That in itself is a huge accomplishment with reason to be proud.

Wolff said, “I get to work with dedicated and driven students who have creative ideas and want to help kids. They keep coming up with new ways to fundraise and they are good at getting the community involved.”

While student driven, there is enormous support from a team of parents, faculty, staff, the Carmel business community and citizens which results in a big win for Riley Kids.

Mary & Martha’s moving to Zionsville

By Pete Smith “ _TcT/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Mary & Martha’s Exceedingly Chic Boutique has been a fixture on Carmel’s Main Street for the past 10 years.

BUSINESS It has survived years of construction and change in the Arts & Design District, but owner Laura Shattuck said a recent decline in foot traffic has forced her to reconsider her options. “The traffic is really reduced over the past few years in the Arts & Design District,� Shattuck said. “I would love to have seen other retail thrive here.�

And when she thought about a strong collection of small retail businesses that thrive in close proximity, she set her sights on Zionsville.

Now Mary & Martha’s plans to close its Carmel location sometime after Mother’s Day (May 11) and relocate to the Potpourri Building at 110 N. Main St. in Zionsville. It will open its doors in Zionsville in April.

But it’s not without some hesitation. “We have done everything we can possibly do to stay,� Shattuck said.“Honestly, if the traffic were here I would never leave.�

But Shattuck is hoping her 1,500 customers will follow her to the new location. “We’re taking our lines to Zionsville,� she said.“We’ll be the only Pandora jewelry dealer in Zionsville.�

Mary & Martha’s Exceedingly Chic Boutique manager Lillian Bernard, left, and owner Laura Shattuck plan to relocate their boutique to Zionsville later this spring. (Staff photo)

Shattuck said she’s most excited about how people park and walk up and down Main Street in Zionsville. The city’s support of local small business is just an added incentive. “The same great fit and customer service that shoppers have come to expect from Mary & Martha’s will only be bigger there.�

But not the rent. Shattuck said she would cut her rent costs in half with the move.

For a small family run business, sometimes the bottom line has to trump geography. “We feel Zionsville is another quaint community where we’ll do well,� she said.

Japanese restaurant now open

By Karen Kennedy “ ZPaT]Z/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ “Delicious cuisine.�

That’s what “Hino Oishi� translates to from Japanese. It’s also a new sushi and hibachi restaurant that recently opened its REVIEW doors in Carmel.

And it’s not easy to find.

The address of the restaurant is 10491 Walnut Creek Drive. Both Mapquest and a GPS placed that squarely in the center of a lovely housing edition just north of 106th Street, just west of Towne Road.

Obviously, that’s not where it is.

Hino Oishi is in a strip mall in the southeast corner of 106th Street and Michigan Road, but you can’t see it from the road. It’s behind a Chase bank and next to a Goodwill store.

It’s worth looking for, because it’s not just the cuisine that’s delicious; the surroundings are gorgeous, and the sushi and Hino Oishi hibachi chefs 10491 Walnut Creek Drive, are absolutely Suite 160 in Carmel charming. It’s a Open seven days a fantastic addiweek, from 11 a.m. tion to the loal 228-0888 dining scene. www.hinooishi.com The menu features many of the standard options for sushi and hibachi, but stand-out items include: Chilean Sea Bass,

cold water lobster tail, Asian short ribs, pankocrusted fried oysters and USDA-choice steaks hand-cut daily.

For dessert, try a house-made green tea macaroon or the yuzu-ginger crème brulÊe.

While the 120-seat restaurant is owned by an out-of-state group, its general manager is Carmel resident J.D. Zou, who oversees a staff of 20.

The chic and urban interior was created by a New York designer, and one of the four sushi chefs was brought in from New York as well. “We use only the finest, freshest fish available and the greatest quality ingredients,� Zou said. “And welcome children; we have a great kid’s menu. We also offer gluten-free tamari soy sauce.�

The space features an intimate sushi bar which adjoins to the main bar, and the bar dining area is lined with booths. The hibachi area is very large, with nine hibachi stations, each with nine to ten seats.

There’s also a private dining room which can accommodate groups of up to 15.

Scotty’s Brewhouse to open in Detour location

assisted living & memory assisted living care

A sign recently appeared on the door of Detour: An American Grille in Sophia Square reading only “Closed.�

RESTAURANTS Barely audible gasps could be heard as the news spread about the threat to nightlife in the Arts & Design District. But any slowdown is sure to be short-lived.

That’s because Scotty’s Brewhouse plans to fill the void, take over the lease and hopefully open its doors in less than two months.

Owner Scott Wise said he will shoot for a tentative grand opening on April 21. “Carmel is perfect for us,� Wise said. “Our concept is going to work well there.�

That concept will not be just another sports bar. Wise said Scotty’s would provide a family friendly atmosphere where people can get a great meal.

He also said there would be no bands or live music, but instead the managers will work to provide a great patio atmosphere that takes advantage of the proximity of the Monon Trail. “It’s the perfect location for us,� Wise said. “I’m ecstatic about the growth and of what Carmel has done in the Arts & Design district.�

He said one thing that will make the Carmel Scotty’s unique is breakfast hours, offered on Saturdays and Sundays in late spring through fall to cater to Monon brunch seekers.

Scotty’s also will allow kids to eat free on Sundays and Tuesdays.

As for Detour, co-owner Freddie Knipscheer of Prime 47 Hospitality, said previous disputes with the city over noise had no bearing on his company’s decision to sell the restaurant, noting that those disputes occurred under different management. “We were doing very well,� Knipscheer said. “We just decided it would be in our best interest to try and sell it.�

He said they quickly received seven o eight

offers, but Scotty’s was the best.

Prime 47 Hospitality also owns Prime 47 restaurants in Carmel, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, and the Detour decision will have no effect on them. “We’re a steakhouse company and we want to focus on that,� Knipscheer said.

The decision also will not affect the Detour location on Geist Reservoir in Fishers because that restaurant was under different ownership. “As a Carmel resident, I’m excited to have Scotty’s here,� he said. “I think it’s going to be an absolutely great fit.�

He enjoys finding odd things, whether it’s an antique pop-corn machine or a glide-scope path light (used for landing airplanes) that was picked up from a garage sale.

And then comes the fun part - turning them into either a table or floor lamp. “Basically, I am more interested in making stuff for people here in Carmel who are looking to find that one-of-a-kind piece that completes a room,� Graef said. “Imagine a vintage score board that lights up with big illuminated numbers - for the man cave. Or, think about a large kitchen timer, where you can put your child in a time out, and you’re good to go.�

But lighting is also a passion. “When I go design shopping, I try to find things that are well-made and affordable, and then pass that value onto the customer,� he said. “I don’t like how everybody has to have a name for their art - I like taking things from the past that have outlived their use and re-inventing them,� Graef said.

Actor’s Theatre of Indiana has announced a very ambitious and exciting 2014-15 season, and the theatre troupe is hoping THEATRE to raise much of the revenue needed to support that season at their annual fundraising gala on March 8.

The new season kicks off in September with the iconic musical “My Fair Lady,� which ATI plans to present with a ten-person cast accompanied by two baby grand pianos.

In November, they will present “Pete ‘n’ Keely,� a kitschy, ’60s period piece about a duo of singing sweethearts whose musical career together ended with a big break up at Caesar’s Palace.

However, they have been talked into reuniting in a live television special, which will prove difficult at best since they are no longer speaking to each other.

Tony award-winning “The 39 Steps� will open at the end of January 2015 and run through mid-February.

The stage play is a hilarious parody of the 1935 melodrama by Alfred Hitchcock. The play calls for a cast of four actors to play a total of 150 characters, with lightning fast costume changes (sometimes even playing multiple characters at one time.) Hitchcock fans will be delighted by numerous allusions to and puns on other HitchWomen’s empowerment conference – Girl Scouts of Central Indiana and Ivy Tech have partnered to create Power to Her, a women’s empowerment conference from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 5 at Illinois Fall Creek Center, 2535 N.

The evening will start with a wine and hors d’oeuvres hour followed by a sit-down dinner accompanied by live jazz music. A silent and live auction, with an electronic bidding system will take place. Live auction items will include a seven-night stay in a Hilton Head vacation home and a walk-on role in a future ATI production.

By far the most interesting auction item will be a painting by renowned Dallas-based artist Richard Nunez. He will create the painting and interact with guests throughout the course of the evening, and Nunez will present the finished painting to be auctioned off at the end of the night.

Job fair aims to link special needs students to the right employers

By Dawn Pearson “ ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]RPa\T[ R^\ Carmel High School student Nick Wimmer has always dealt with social issues and hashad trouble communicating. Which isn’t surprising given that he has Asperger’s Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder.

COVER STORY His parents, Allan and Barb Wimmer, have long sought to help their 18-year-old son overcome his struggles with social interactions and communication. Even for someone as high-functionWimmer ing as their son, life after high school certainly loomed large.

But thanks to an outreach program at CHS, Nick already has found a job. “It has been great. Nick works at (Carmel sandwich shop) Which Wich 25 hours a week and a couple mornings at Best Friend’s Pet Care, both he got through the school and VITAL 4. He is also volunteering at TherAplay,� Barb Wimmer said. “It’s been a really important and beneficial year for Nick, he’s getting experiences at different work settings, and has been able to try some different things out to see what he enjoys and is good at.� “VITAL 4 is an off-campus program where those kids get real life training on what we all do outside of school, regarding transportation, how do they get to work, recreation, what can they do and enjoy outside of work, and there’s parent education part involved too,� said Kellie Freeman, transition coordinator for Carmel Clay Schools Special Services.

Freeman “It’s a huge blessing and a great program for Nick,� Barb said. “He gets great feedback, and they are pleased to have him, and it’s great for his self-esteem.�

Connecting students and employers

To help students with special needs make the jump to the real world, Carmel Clay Schools plans to host a job fair that will bring together agencies, businesses and colleges that provide services to students with disabilities.

The fair will be conducted from 6 to 8 p.m.

March 6 at Carmel High School, and people attending are asked to use entrances 7, 8 and 9.

Freeman said, “This event brings together agencies that provide services to individuals

Interested in participating?

The Transition Fair brings together agencies that provide services to families with children with special needs. Agencies like Outside the Box, Opportunities for Positive Growth, Bona Vista, Noble of Indiana, Janus Developmental Center and many more. For more information about participating, contact Kellie Freeman at kfreeman@ccs.k12.in.us and put “Fair 2014� in the subject line. “We try to place our students in a job that they want to work in and not always in the ‘typical’ type of job that most programs have. Some students want to work at a restaurant or in food service, but we try to find jobs in all areas,� Freeman said.

with a disability who will one day enter the adult world to work, play, attend college or live with or without support. This fair brings the agencies, businesses and schools that provide services to families with children with special needs after the student has left school.�

The fair is about what happens to the students when they move to the real world, since special needs students typically aren’t on a diploma track. “Most of our students won’t be receiving a diploma, they will be receiving a Certification of Completion when they leave us,� Freeman said. “They have each had a job coach who helps them get the job, helps train them, and then the coach fades away and they keep working.� “The reason our fair is such a success is because part of what I do is to work with families.

So they know when the student leaves the school setting, if they don’t have the services and support in place, that child will sit at home and do nothing,� Freeman said.

And Carmel has one of the few special services programs that really seek jobs that will pay the students in hopes the student retains the job when school ends. “If a student is working some place and they are successful, why would we yank that job when they leave school?� Freeman said.

It's worth every minute

The last three would hardly even speak and they were afraid to speak, and to see them turn around is the most rewarding thing to me in any of my work,� Johnson said. “They want to learn but they’ve never been allowed to learn in a real life setting, never been exposed to a real-life work situation, and people said they can’t learn to run a cash register, for instance, but let me tell you they can.�

Johnson looks forward to continue working with them and said it’s probably been more rewarding for him and his store than for the kids and their education. “It takes training and love, from my heart, and what I get back is worth more then I can make,� he said.

What's best for our students

needs students for 18 years and has enjoyed it. “Oh, I love them. They are wonderful kids,�

Johnson said. “There’s a lot of training, but it’s worth every minute of it. The quality of an employee you get with their dedication, they are always on time, very outgoing, eager to learn and you can count on long-term employment.�

And the students often teach as much as they learn. “I take the kids as they come in the store.

Caitie Vaughn is one of Johnson’s success stories. Her favorite thing about the job is her co-workers.

Johnson said, “She’s respected and treated as an individual. She loves it.�

Freeman said that the managers need to be “honest and real� like Johnson has been over the years. “We need managers to tell us if a student isn’t working out, we need them to be honest and it may seem like they are the bad guys, but they aren’t,� she said. “It’s what’s best for our students.� “If people in the workplace are not aware of what they can do to support and nurture coworkers with special needs, the transition into working life could be tougher than it needs to be for the young adult,� Freeman said. “With education, the same co-workers and bosses could help that transition and enable our students to flourish.�

“I take the kids as they come in the store. The last three would hardly even speak and they were afraid to speak, and to see them turn around is the most rewarding thing to me in any of my work,� said Larry Johnson, the manager of the Carmel Dairy Queen

CURRENTOON

Coyotes? Not welcome here The question floated into our inboxes like a radioactive nugget, the kind most wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole. So, leave it to us to give it a shot, so to speak. The recent news about increasing coyote traffic in our city has a lot of folks on edge, especially pet owners, and with good reason. The carnivores have a serious hunger, especially in this harsh winter.

Pets of any stripe and size are at risk. That question, though: Is action on coyotes warranted? On our land, yes. One of us is a dog owner, the other a cat owner. If one of those critters posed a threat to our animals or us, it would be, as they say, on! Louisville Slugger on.

On the other side of the coin, man has caused the problem via displacement that comes with development. The laws on trapping and releasing are antiquated. There is no clear solution to what seems to be a mounting problem - until it comes to our pets, our personal property and us. So, what would you do? Tell us, please. Write us at info@youarecurrent.com, and we’ll share your thoughts with your fellow readers. “ “ “ If ever there was a question about it, rest assured The Hillary Campaignä, officially, is in startup mode.

Tax reform could affect local library

The secrets we keep

Commentary by Terry Anker

Social media has opened up a new world for window peepers. Unbeknownst to many of us, our photographs are taken hundreds of times per day. Happily, most of the celebrity we might anticipate is abated by the fact that these shots are largely video surveillance at the ATM, gas pump, store, restaurant, school, workplace and just about every place we might venture during the day. These are not routinely posted to the web unless something exciting or funny occurs (think bank robbery or dancing cat).

We don’t control our image. Ordinarily, we don’t even know that it is being used. But the most common, is the photo posted to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySpace, LinkedIn, Tagged, Google+, Pinterest, or YouTube (these are on the top 10 list for most used social media sites of the billions of posts each year). Again, permission is rarely asked and we often don’t know of it.

Google has announced a new project called, simply enough, Image. At images.google.com one

can upload an image of anyone and the program will scan the web to find similar pictures. I did it today of myself; and, wow, it pulled up pictures of me from all over the place. Some were known to me – others definitely not. But even more simply, a long-lost acquaintance posted a photo from an eighth-grade basketball tourney (we won!) to his Facebook page. Another friend saw me in it and let me know it was out there. I found the shot and the dozen or so of comments about it. My 13 year-old saw it – and observed our family resemblance.

But the picture could have easily been me in college holding a Little King Cream Ale slightly before my 21st birthday. Is it better to live a world without secrets? We may not have much choice.

FROM THE EDITOR

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.

- Malcolm Forbes

Gov. Mike Pence made waves earlier this year when he announced that part of his legislative agenda would be to eliminate the business personal property tax to make Indiana more attractive to companies seeking to locate here.

Increasing jobs was the goal, but cashstrapped municipal governments saw it as a threat because the plan offered no replacement for lost revenue.

The Associated Press reports that analysts for the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency predict that property taxes on homeowners could rise and locally-based income taxes could increase by nearly one percentage point.

The Hamilton County Auditor’s Office estimates that Hamilton County overall could have about $20 million less revenue if the tax were eliminated. It also projects that the City of Carmel would lose about $2.6 million and Carmel schools would lose $3.4 million in revenue per year.

But now that the proposal has moved through the House of Representatives, it has been significantly amended.

The current version of the bill would simply allow that “a county income tax council may now adopt an ordinance to exempt from property taxation any new business personal property (other than utility personal property) that is located in the county.�

It would also allow governments to establish an enhanced abatement schedule for personal property that would extend 25 years instead of the current 10 years.

And while the method of the tax cut keeps changing, the threat is still real. And one entity that could also feel the effect is the Carmel Clay Public Library.

Library Director Wendy Phillips said the county auditor estimates that if the tax were eliminated, the library could lose about $400,000 in funding out of its current $6.3 million budget, or about 6 percent. “That would be a significant amount to us,� she said. “It would directly impact the resources that are available to the public.�

The greatest effect might be a scuttling of plans to increase library services in West Carmel.

While another library was never part of the strategic plan, extended children’s services at third-party locations was an idea as well as a possible mobile library in 2015.

But right now, all library leaders can do is watch and wait.

READERS’ VIEWS Clerk-treasurer did ask for documentation Editor, The Current’s recent coverage of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission (Officials divided on loan payment, Feb. 18) was excellent in simplifying an extremely complex situation. However, CRC member Jeff Worrell was quoted as saying, “The reason we are confused is because Diana never asked (the CRC) for any documentation ‌ I have a copy of the contract myself.â€?

Worrell’s comment deserves factual scrutiny.

First, the public records clearly show that Clerk-Treasurer Diana Cordray in fact, did ask the CRC for documentation. Among other contacts, two members of the CRC and the CRC financial advisor were consulted and responded privately on Feb. 3, 5 and 10, and also publicly on Feb. 17.

Second, Worrell’s assertion that he “has a copy of the contract,� is revealing. In fact, there were at least five contracts (not one), as well as a stack of other supporting documents which often conflicted in their content. Again, two CRC

members and the financial advisor admitted that those complexities made the Clerk-Treasurer’s job difficult. On Feb. 10 and 17, the CRC acknowledged the problems and pledged to provide greater clarity and transparency in the future.

All of these facts were publicly disclosed at the Feb. 17 city council meeting (video can be viewed on the city’s website). The CRC president admitted that the CRC’s transactions were extremely complex, and CRC representatives constructively promised improved future communication.

These facts directly contradict Worrell’s assertion that “Diana never asked us,� and indicate that Worrell is not factually informed. The CRC’s official Feb. 17 response was constructive, appreciated and lays the groundwork for future improvements. With sincere respect, I hope that Worrell can take a more constructive position in the future, as well.

How to write good hate mail

I love hate mail. But I have to be honest; some of you really need to brush up on your libel.

Take, for instance, a recent HUMOR e-mail. The reader was quite indignant with respect to the column about my friend, whose morning with her children was ruined by a criticizing old biddy. But her comments fell short, mostly because she didn’t know how to write a decent critique. Luckily, I’ve developed this Guide to Good Hate Mail.

1. Read the column. Thoroughly. The aforementioned hater spoke at length about how poorly I had handled the situation because of my obvious lack of self-confidence, but I actually wasn’t even there. The article was about a friend’s experience. Come on now! If you’re going to use my own words against me, at least get the facts straight!

2. Play the religion card. Even though you know nothing of my faith, when you write, “You are clearly not a Christian, which might be the root of your unhappiness…” you can be sure I’ll take notice. Sure, it might not have the desired response (Doo and I enjoyed a wonderful laugh at that one), but you’ll certainly gain my attention.

And never underestimate the impact of a well-placed Scripture passage. My favorite is John 8:7. Learn it. Love it. Use it.

3. Question my parenting. So what if you’ve

never actually met me or my husband or any of my kids. You read my columns, right?

We’re as good as sisters, then, making you perfectly qualified to pass judgment. Have fun! Give unsolicited advice, badmouth my children, suggest therapy and spiritual healing (a Bible verse would fit nicely here). Or just cut to the chase and tell me I’m a terrible mother. I appreciate brevity in my hate mail as I have an enormity of selfish needs to see to above those of my family.

4. Go on and on about what an awesome spouse, parent, sibling, friend, PTO volunteer, church-goer, and eater of organic foods you are. My life is miserable, and I long to be as awesome as you!

Remember, I have low self-confidence and am going to Hell, so any awesome thing you can say to help me change my ways would be simply awesome.

5. Use synonyms. When I see the word “awesome” written repeatedly, you lose respect as a writer and a hater.

Next time you feel compelled to send hate mail, please consult this guide. It’ll make my reading so much more enjoyable! Peace out.

FROGZ aimed at young families

THEATRE Frogs, frogs and more frogs - along with their friends the penguins - perform in this theatrical event that is making a name for Imago Theatre, creator of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;hoppyâ&#x20AC;? adventure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a family show designed with a lot of illusion and imagination, really geared for youth three years old and up,â&#x20AC;? said John Hughey, director of external relations at the Center for the Performing Arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This show becomes a big playground where frogs and penguins play together.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in our small theater and there will be audience participation.â&#x20AC;?

Hughey said FROGZ is like a Cirque du Soleil show that will introduce children to mime, acrobatics, and dance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are wild costumes and all original music. The frogs and penguins take on human characteristics,â&#x20AC;? Hughley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lot of audience participation, too, with oversized beach balls and giant slinkies that become part of the act. So families will enjoy this together in a small intimate theater.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imago has been creating transformative theatre that crosses boundaries traditionally associated with language, age and the physical realm,â&#x20AC;? said Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, the artistic

Carmel actress brings â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ghostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to life

By Dawn Pearson Â&#x201C; TSXc^aXP[/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Magic and illusion are not the only two elements for audiences to look forward to in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ghost the Musical,â&#x20AC;? Andrea Rouch from THEATRE Carmel is performing in it.

Rouchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in the show is to play part of the ensemble and work as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Molly understudy.â&#x20AC;? She is onstage every night as a singer and dancer in the ensemble and she plays Molly at certain performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is definitely a dream come true and an honor to play Molly, she is such a strong, artsy, upbeat woman who has everything she has ever wanted in life until her boyfriend, is tragically murdered and suddenly everything she had is swiped out from under her,â&#x20AC;? Rouch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a story that can make a difference in peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives, and that is why I do theatre.â&#x20AC;?

Rouch said the audience should get ready to be blown away with the illusions and magic tricks, like Sam walking through a door, letters folding themselves up, souls taking over peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bodies, subway passengers suspended in midair, and high-tech LED video walls projecting videos and images throughout the show.

After graduating from Carmel High School in 2007, Rouch went to college at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., earning her Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in musical theatre. And after graduating from Belmont in 2011 her singing and acting career took center stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent a year doing regional theatre in Mem-

phis, Tenn., and worked in Pennsylvania and Georgia and then booked the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beauty and the Beastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; National Tour,â&#x20AC;? Rouch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been fortunate to have been working since I graduated, but I do miss seeing my family. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extra special treat to be able to live at home and perform in Indy for a week.â&#x20AC;?

One of Rouchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most memorable aspects of Carmel is the performing arts program at CHS, run by Lamonte Kuskye and Ann Conrad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got into choir freshman year because I needed an elective. Then, I ended up auditioning for my first musical and was cast in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beauty and the Beastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and completely fell in love with theatre,â&#x20AC;? Rouch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carmel really allowed me to explore all of the things I am passionate about.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the cool things about the tour is that you sort of become a connoisseur of cities. Now, when I go to a new place, I find myself assessing the cleanliness, safety, locals, small businesses, downtown areas, weather and after being to nearly 100 cities over the past year and a half, Carmel is still one of my favorite places,â&#x20AC;? Rouch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so full of life and art. I really love the downtown area of Carmel with all the shops, the Monon, great local eats, and of course, Carmel High School.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ghost the Musicalâ&#x20AC;?

Come find love in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Terri Spilman Â&#x201C; TSXc^aXP[/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\

The Carmel Community Players continue their 20th Anniversary Season of Restoration Celebration by presenting the romantic THEATRE comedy classic, Philip Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Philadelphia Story,â&#x20AC;? March 6 through March 16 in the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace Mall.

The playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cast is very seasoned as some actors have film, TV and Broadway theater experience in addition to the many who have appeared in several local productions.

In the movie version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Philadelphia Story,â&#x20AC;? Katharine Hepburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character, Tracy Lord, is a headstrong, spoiled daughter from a well-todo family in Philadelphia torn between her dashing ex-husband, played by Cary Grant, charming society magazine reporter Jimmy Stewart and her fiancĂŠe.

The playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, Lori Raffel, said the stage production is very similar to the movie with some exceptions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are a few character changes and the location is limited to the Lordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house outside Philadelphia.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play was written by Philip Barry specifically for Katharine Hepburn to star in on stage.

Her last several movies had tanked and producers were losing faith in her ability to draw an audience,â&#x20AC;? Raffel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katharine herself put up 35 percent of the money to produce the play on Broadway, and it paid off - it was a huge hit. She and the playwright always had in mind to make the play into a movie - and that was a big success as well.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Above all else, The Philadelphia Story is about love, relationships and family. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the most successful American comedies every produced,â&#x20AC;? Raffel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to direct it because I love the time period - the 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s - and I love the central character - Tracy. She is strong, stubborn, flawed and fearless - which makes for a great play.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Philadelphia Storyâ&#x20AC;?

Allergies to cold weather - Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to actually be allergic to cold weather. Those with an allergy called cold urticaria break out in itchy red hives due to contact with low temperatures, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. In more rare cases, people can faint from exposure to frigid temps. Representatives from the college suggest taking an antihistamine to control symptoms. www.menshealth.com.

Stroke risk factors for women - More than half of the 795,000 strokes that occur annually in the U.S. happen to women. Why? One of the reasons is preeclampsia, a factor during and after pregnancy.

However, prevention is key: women with chronic or pregnancy-related hypertension should take lowdose aspirin from the 12th week of pregnancy to delivery. Preeclampsia is also a future risk of hypertension and stroke. Keep up with follow-up visits to your primary care physician. (www.prevention.com).

Balancing quality and quantity on TV Commentary by Adam Cmejla I’d like you to think of the following question and let me know if you can think of a situation or example where the statement FINANCE is unequivocally true: In a rapid growth environment, is it possible to significantly increase quantity while still maintaining a high level of quality?

I bring this question up as I look up at the TV in my office streaming the latest financial news of the day and what’s happening around the world and ask myself that question as it pertains to financial journalism.

With the advent of the 24/7 news and financial television networks, I’ve often wondered how challenging the job of the producer must be for those networks. Not because of the complexities of the job or managing the on-air talent, but simply the task of coming up with enough content to cover 24 hours of “news” a day.

Think about that for a minute as it pertains to financial journalism. In the past, when something was newsworthy, it was discussed and reported on the nightly national news and was most certainly reported in the financial publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Fortune.

However, because of the amount of airtime that must be consumed, we now have stories that are covered far longer than they need to be covered, with opinions from so-called “experts” whose only criteria for being called an expert was that they were available for that time slot.

What can, and often does, happen though is

the television media overinflates an otherwise mundane piece of information or data, which can sometimes cause consumers to make irrational and emotional decisions concerning their financial plans and investment goals.

We’ve all heard the phrase “making a mountain out of a mole hill” and I believe this phrase can apply to an ever-increasing number of journalists and media reporting on financial news and happenings. This is why I believe that as the quantity of financial reporting has significantly increased in a short amount of time, the quality of the journalism has diminished.

The important thing to remember is to be intentional with your investing. Having an investment philosophy and plan will serve you much better than reacting to what the cable news is reporting. In addition, make sure that you understand the credibility of your news sources.

Remember this: there is great similarity between a market analyst and a weather personality on TV. Their (and their station’s) first and real only mission is not to advise you directly. It’s to sell advertising and increase ratings. Make sure you have someone working for you in your corner that truly has your best interest at heart.

DISPATCHES Baldwin & Lyons releases financial data – Carmel-based Baldwin & Lyons has announced after tax operating income of $4.4 million, or $.30 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $4.5 million, also $.30 per share, during the fourth quarter of 2012. Net investment gains for the fourth quarter of 2013, which include both realized and unrealized gains in the company’s limited partnership investments, were $4.6 million after tax, or $.30 per share, compared to net investment gains of $0.2 million, or $.01per share, in the same quarter of 2012.

Delta Air Lines to reward business travelers – The airline is making a radical change in its frequent-flier program designed to win more business from its biggest-spending customers, including corporate travelers. These “elite” fliers account for just 2 percent of Delta’s customers but generate more than 20 percent of the revenues. Delta’s gambit will base frequent-flier rewards on the fares its customers pay instead of the miles they travel.

The announcement will affect all classes of travelers. The move from distance to dollars represents a huge benefit to the elites in the form of lots of free tickets. The non-elites who relish flying long-haul on cheap fares, in many cases, will suffer. SOURCE: Fortune

Tax reform blueprint – Republican leadership unveiled a new tax reform proposal put out by Michigan Republican Dave Camp, the outgoing chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Camp’s proposal will serve as the first Republican marker for tax reform whenever lawmakers do get around to it, which may not happen until 2017. The proposed changes include increasing the per-child tax credit to $1,500 from $1,000 and would be allowed for kids up to the age of 18, versus 17 today; reducing the mortgage interest deduction for loans up to $500,000, the current limit is $1 million; and eliminating the state and local income tax deduction on federal tax returns.

Minimum wage correlation - In the restaurant industry, some chains have already prepared to boost menu prices in response to minimumwage changes. At the national level, Congress and President Obama continue to grapple with increasing the federal minimum wage; and changes at the state level could bring similar hikes at eateries across the country. Restaurants are a large lowwage employer, and industry executives have grumbled that wage increases - combined with additional costs resulting from Obamacare - are driving up the price of doing business.

To maintain profits, a number of chains have recently announced plans to partially offset the increases by passing them to consumers.

Question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A friend said to me that he was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;under the weather, metaphorically speaking.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to correct him, since he was sick, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right.

GRAMMAR GUY Was that a metaphor, or was it actually an idiom?â&#x20AC;?

Great question! You are correct. Hopefully your friend is feeling better by the time you come around again to offer him some wisdom.

Metaphors and idioms are often mistaken for one another in speech in just the manner youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve illustrated. In fact, â&#x20AC;&#x153;speaking metaphoricallyâ&#x20AC;? is often mistakenly used when people actually mean they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;speaking figuratively.â&#x20AC;? Staying on subject, though: What is the difference between a metaphor and an idiom?

A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech found under the umbrella of analogy. A metaphor is formed by stating that one thing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? is another thing â&#x20AC;&#x153;B.â&#x20AC;?

Shakespeare famously used metaphors to great effect â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so for an example, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll turn to the Bard: â&#x20AC;&#x153;But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.â&#x20AC;?

We understand that Juliet is not, in fact, the sun. But to our teenage heartthrob Romeo, she seems a bright, incandescent, almost life-giving figure appearing at the window as the sun at

dawn. How romantic.

An idiom, by contrast, is an expression with a figurative meaning that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t correspond with its literal meaning. Idioms are understood intuitively by native speakers, but can be very difficult for someone learning the language. Examples of idioms in English include â&#x20AC;&#x153;couch potato,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;hit the road,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;spill the beansâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;under the weather.â&#x20AC;?

Some idioms, like the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;Achillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heel,â&#x20AC;? are also metaphors, but the two are not inherently related like metaphors and similes are.

A great and simple method of determining whether a phrase is an idiom or a metaphor is to ask whether it is directly comparing two things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the middle of June, the blacktop was lavaâ&#x20AC;? is a metaphor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it directly compares very hot asphalt to lava. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To pull someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legâ&#x20AC;? is an idiom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we understand it figuratively to mean to tease or joke, and it fails to be a metaphor because it makes no comparison.

Just keep comparisons in mind, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to distinguish metaphors and idioms at the drop of a hat.

Great designs don’t emerge from rules Commentary by Vicky Earley Several weeks ago a long-time client called to let me know that she is closing up shop. No more nine-to-nine grind as an attorney. No more guilty people calling her at DECORATING all hours of the day and night.

Nope, she is headed for the beach!

The romance of this sounds wonderful, but the practical part is a factor.

My client, who is an analytical type, panicked realizing that her new home is a sixteen hour drive from here, called to ask me if she could hire me for a few hours to teach her the “rules” of interior design.

I was speechless. Did she think a designer just goes to school, learns a few basic “rules” and then heads out the door with a color deck and tape measure in hand?

After a few days of pondering what I initially perceived as a slight to me and the profession, it occurred to me that she has no idea of the process. She couldn’t possibly since her thought process is the polar opposite.

I did my best to politely explain to her that I couldn’t teach her the “rules” because behind every rule are 100 exceptions. Good design is a blend of science, engineering and art. The science and engineering part are constants … the art is the soul of the process and is seen and felt. It is intuition. It defies explanation.

Just this week, I have been guilty of breaking at least 10 hard and fast “rules” for reasons based on practicality, personal needs of the client, and on a vision of the final outcome pure and simple.

Rooms that turn your head in House Beautiful and on Houzz are never an essay on the “how to decorate” nor are they a final exam on the rules.

They are, instead, beautiful because the geometry of the space is felt by the designer and intuition leads him to the right components for

balance.

Those spaces work because the focal points are carefully positioned and this is a conscious and unconscious process on the part of the designer.

To convince my client that I would not be doing her a favor by giving her some decorating information to take on to her new destination (I actually thought of it as enough rope to hang herself!), we toured a few places where I was terribly guilty of breaking some of the hard-andfast rules in design.

The first was a dining room where the chandelier was far too large for the table based on the rules. The key here was that there was a strong need for drama in the room. There was little space for art so the focal point had to be achieved in the center of the room. The selected chandelier worked because it was airy … it demanded less visual space while it did a spectacular job of being the star of the room.

Right next to that room was a foyer with an 18-foot ceiling. I didn’t want this fixture to compete with the dining room fixture but it had to remain sophisticated enough to complement the beauty of this space.

The fixture selected here was smaller than expected but it worked beautifully because it was dense with crystals. This gave it a quiet drama that was appreciated without screaming.

After a few more examples, my extremely bright client “got it”.

It really is not about refusing to give up secrets that I hold near and dear. It truly is that a designer just sees and feels much of what is needed and that cannot be taught … even in the best of design schools.

During 1492, the Alhambra in Grenada, Spain, was at the center of events that literally changed the direction of human history. Today the Alhambra is the finest example TRAVEL of Islamic architecture in Europe.

Grenada was founded in the eleventh century by successors of Muslims who had captured most of what is now Spain from the Visigoths in 711. By 1248, Christian forces had recaptured all major Spanish cities except Granada. Grenada, whose Muslim rulers welcomed its Jewish residents, became one of the most important cities in Europe. In the fourteenth century, Grenada’s Nasrid rulers completed the Alhambra on a hill overlooking the city as a combined fortress and palace. The main courtyard surrounded a circle of twelve marble lions, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, carved by Jewish craftsmen. The palace included an imposing Hall of Ambassadors, where the Sultan of Granada received visitors.

On January 2, 1492, the Sultan surrendered the Alhambra to the superior forces of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, the “Catholic Kings” whose marriage had united two Spanish kingdoms. Isabella immediately occupied the chair in the Hall of

Ambassadors, reportedly receiving Christopher Columbus. Columbus, who had seen Granada fall, pitched anew his plan to sail west and convert the Muslims of India to Christianity.

The “Alhambra Decree,” issued by Ferdinand and Isabella on March 31, 1492, ordered all Jews to leave Spain within four months unless they converted to Christianity. On April 17, Ferdinand and Isabella commissioned Columbus to sail to India and he left Granada on May 12. By July 31, up to 800,000 Jewish residents had fled Spain to avoid execution without trial. On October 12, 1492, Columbus, who may have been secretly Jewish, encountered the lands of the “New World” he insisted to his death were part of India.

In April 1992, five hundred years after the Alhambra Decree, Spanish King Juan Carlos, wearing a yarmulke, welcomed descendants of the expelled “Sephardic” (Spanish) Jews back to Spain, where they can now become citizens. The Alhambra, witness to the best and the worst of Spanish history, has become one of Spain’s most popular sites.

The remodel: Space planning improves master bath

Commentary by Larry Greene

BEFORE & AFTER

EXISTING BATHROOM: The owner of this home in the Admirals Landing subdivision at Geist had lived with his master bathroom BLUEPRINT FOR for almost 20 years. “The IMPROVEMENT bathroom was old. Everything was black and white, the tiles needed regrouted and the faucets needed replaced. I wanted to change things and decided doing it piecemeal made no sense. So I decided to remodel the whole space.”

ELIMINATING LARGE TUB DECK: Eliminating wasted space was a goal for the project. “The master bath had a bad set up. The large tub deck under the window included wasted space on each end. I had two vanities but they were on opposite sides of the room and small.” The homeowner wanted to keep a tub in the space, and was hoping for a double vanity. The shower was well located and appropriately sized, therefore the new design did little to alter its footprint.

COORDINATING TILE & GRANITE: The owner wanted helping selecting the right materials. “I wanted granite countertops and tile in the shower and on the floors. My designer helped me narrow my choices so I ended up with what I liked.” The Colombian Sand floor tile was chosen to compliment the Alviana Noce shower wall tile. Maple cabinetry in a soft white color with a slate glaze contrasts the tropic brown granite countertops. Carrying the granite over to the tub deck, wall caps, shower seats, niche shelves and door sill provided a cohesive look.

RESULT: Removing the existing tub and decking left room for the new tub to be installed next to the shower. The shower was expanded slightly to provide a cohesive line between the shower and the tub. The opposite wall was filled with a large double vanity, greatly increasing the counter and storage space in the bathroom.

Although the overall footprint was not expanded, the room felt much more spacious with the reconfiguration.
