COMMUNITY Government

City leaders seeking common ground

By Christian Sorrell christian@youarecurrent.com On March 9, the Carmel City Council, Carmel Redevelopment Commission, Carmel City Center Community Development Corp. and Mayor Jim Brainard all came together for the first in what could become a series of joint meetings.

Last year, the CRC asked the city council to refinance nearly $200 million in debt which it had borrowed between 6-percent to 9-percent interest. The council agreed in late November. As part of the agreement, the city council gained much more oversight of the CRC. During the last several months, city officials and city council members have expressed frustration at delays and a perceived lack of communication between the CRC and the city government. The joint meeting was scheduled to alleviate those issues and create a new working relationship between the parties involved.

Council member Luci Snyder opened the meeting with a recap of the events, restating her position on last year’s refinancing of the CRC. “If we hadn’t restructured that debt...

They would have gone bankrupt,” Snyder said.

Brainard publicly stated his disagreement with Snyder later in the meeting, saying that he did not believe the CRC would have gone bankrupt.

Representatives from 4CDC briefly discussed a number of recent changes to the organization. The development corporation now has a city council appointee, will be publicly announcing all of its meetings going forward and passed a resolution granting net revenues to the CRC. The majority of those in attendance appeared to approve of these changes.

“I think we all applaud the changes made to the 4CDC, especially in the area of transparency,” said Council President Rick Sharp.

A bit unpredictably, the Arts & Design District was a major point of discussion during the meeting.

“The Arts & Design District appears to be in a state of flux at the moment,” Sharp said, commenting on problems with consistent business in the district throughout

the year. Snyder also expressed concerns about the district and the city’s plan moving forward.

“Anyone with an ounce of sense knows that food drives the district,” said City Council-At-Large Member Kevin Rider.

“We need to combine this restaurant (and) art thing… We don’t promote the district as we should.”

While Brainard did not publicly disagree with Rider, Sharp and Synder’s thoughts, he spoke directly to some of the district’s recent successes. The district’s Indiana Design Center recently leased out its final space and Pedcor, the building’s developer, is considering an expansion. According to Brainard, there are more than 66 arts and design-related businesses inside the district’s archways with more than 200 businesses total in the area.

City Council-At-Large Member Ron Carter compared the district to a Michigan shore town with a heavy concentration of sales in summer with lowered business during the winter months. Carter also stated Managing Editor – Christian Sorrell christian@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444 ext. 204 Associate Editor – Terry Anker terry@currentincarmel.com Copy Editor – Mandi Cheesman mandi@youarecurrent.com Art Director – Zachary Ross zach@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444 Associate Artist – Andrea Nickas andrea@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444

his desire to see the winter become easier for businesses in the district.

During the course of the discussion, an outdoor ice rink was brought up several times as a possible winter attraction to add to the area.

With a general consensus to re-assess the marketing of the district in the future, the meeting moved onto the redevelopment and extension of Illinois Street, something Brainard considers one of the city’s top priorities for the year.

Illinois Street will see a massive increase in traffic throughout the next several years as traffic is detoured off U.S. 31 as part of the Major Moves construction project that will transform the area in the future. Brainard is hoping that much of the extension and construction on Illinois Street can be completed before the state’s construction beginning in 2014 and 2015.

Brainard also briefly discussed Midtown and his desire to prioritize the removal of older industrial buildings and putting utilities in place to attract the private sector. Beyond that, he also expressed a desire to see 3rd Avenue realigned through Midtown.

“We need to be very careful about additional debt until the economy has clearly recovered,” Brainard said. Sharp agreed.

The meeting came to a close with a desire from Sharp, Synder and others to see increased cooperation between all the parties in attendance, specifically the city council and CRC. Sharp suggested joint meetings be scheduled on a semi-annual, if not quarterly, basis.

COMMUNITY Construction

U.S. 31 improvements discussed

OPEN HOUSE

By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com

Construction schedule

Almost 300 members of the community learned about the updated timeline, design and construction plans for the U.S. 31 Hamilton County project last Tuesday at Westfield Middle School cafeteria. Hosted by INDOT, the open house provided citizens a chance to interact with representatives and learn more about the 13-mile stretch of construction along U.S. 31.

Many citizens expressed concern about how the construction and the new road will affect Westfield, and whether the confusing detours and construction will even be worth it in the end.

“The new highway will provide a safer road through Westfield. You’ll have easier access from the south to the north,” Seth Schickel, structural team leader for R.W. Armstrong (an INDOT contractor), said. “It will increase the capacity and safety, and it will all look nice in the end, too.”

The construction project started in 2011 and work is planned to end in 2016. There are several different contracts split up throughout periods of time so INDOT can focus on each part of the highway. The result will encompass I-465 to Ind. 38 in Hamilton County.

INDOT has budgeted for landscape design as well, and when the project ends, there will be approximately 50 species of trees and native grasses for appeal and to protect against erosion.

“The highway will have a more natural look

• This year: 161st Street, 151st Street and Greyhound Pass and preparations at Ind. 32 intersection.

• 2014: 191st Street, 181st Street and Oakbrook Parkway, Ind. 32, 169th Street and preparations at 136th, 131st, 116th and 106th streets.

• 2015: 136th, 131st, 116th and 106th streets and preparations at I-465.

• 2016: I-465

Just south of 146th Street on Cherry Tree Road.

when we’re finished because we will use different colors and palettes so the road will look more appealing than other highways,” Green 3 Landscape Designer Aaron Wood said.

In a couple years’ time, U.S. 31 will be quicker, safer and more appealing, but for now commuters and the citizens of Westfield will have to maneuver around messy debris and construction signs.

“I think with any project you just have to be patient,” R.W. Armstrong Project Engineer Melanie Killips explains. “But in the end it will be a lot nicer.”

Sixty percent of the $400 million construction project has been completed, and the INDOT workers truly believe that the Westfield community will strongly benefit from this highway.

Police apprehend two downtown news@currentincarmel.com At publication time, one suspect remained on the loose after officers responded to a call of suspicious activity in Carmel’s 200 block of 2nd Avenue last week which led to a vehicle crash and a pursuit on foot.

Around 4 a.m. on March 12, Carmel Police officers responded to a call of suspicious activity when an officer noticed a dark SUV leaving the area. As the officer slowed down to check out the vehicle, it took off at a high speed. The SUV drove to the second level of the parking garage at Range Line Road and City Center Drive, and three people jumped out of the vehicle while it was still moving. The SUV then crashed into the outer wall of the parking garage. Two of the suspects jumped over the wall, and one suspect ran in the opposite direction.

COMMUNITY Award

Service award honors McFadden Commentary by Jeff Worrell There is a man from Carmel whose name is synonymous with service; community service.

Way back in our City’s history he served on the very first Town Board for Carmel. There is a commemorative plaque hanging on the wall at City Hall and every time I see it, I am reminded to be thankful for Bill McFadden. His countless hours of service to our community laid a foundation which all of us now enjoy in Carmel.

But, I also am thankful for the impressive record of service he has amassed to the benefit of the entire world as a very active member of Rotary International. Bill McFadden has worked tirelessly promoting the mission of Rotary International to eliminate polio, bring fresh water to third-world countries, improve maternal and child health, provide basic education and literacy and foster economic development in communities. In so doing, he now claims friends worldwide and has touched the lives of people who will never know him.

For this reason, the Rotary Club of Carmel created The William D. McFadden Student Service Award available to Carmel High School juniors. This is not a scholarship, but a chance for any junior to assist his or her favorite nonprofit organization with a cash award of $2,000.

The winner will also ride as a special guest of honor in the CarmelFest Parade. Carmel Rotar-

ian Ranjit Puthran chairs the selection committee and said, “We recognize there are a lot of great students doing wonderful service work in our community and the world. We wanted to find a way to reward these noble pursuits, and thus, developed the award.”

Naming the award after Bill McFadden would be obvious to anyone who knows him.

But, for anyone else, especially the students who might be applying for the award, they will be able to learn from a man whose footsteps are truly worth following.

The deadline to fill out the application has been extended to April 1 and the winner will be announced during a Friday noon Rotary meeting in late April. This is the third year for the award. Applications can be found online at www.carmelrotary.com or by contacting Ranj Puthran of the Carmel Rotary Club at 4326939 or ranjitputhran@allstate.com, or contact your school counselor for more information.

Carmel High School juniors who are working behind the scenes to make the world a better place should apply for this award and make William D. McFadden very proud.

Carmel and other area residents held a St. Balrick’s Foundation event March 9 at Knights of Columbus on Indianapolis’s northside. The event had men, women and children shaving their heads to help fund a cure for childhood cancer. In 2012, St. Baldrick’s surpassed $100 million in grants for childhood cancer research. The team responsible for the event, Joey’s Team – Bald is Beautiful, is still accepting donations. To donate, visit www.stbaldricks.org and search “Joey’s Team.”

On March 8, Main Street Barber Shop held a St. Baldrick’s event for Team Dilts. Team Dilts raised more than $22,000 and the event saw roughly 40 people shave their heads including the barbers. The Blackhawks, a IYHA Mite hockey team of 7 year olds, had their heads shaved before heading to the Carmel Ice Skadium for their championship game.

Locally filmed movie premieres

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com “Ingénue,” a locally-filmed movie, is set to premiere this weekend at the Indiana State Museum’s IMAX theater. Created by Indianaowned Karmic Courage Productions, the film was shot on location at several venues throughout Hamilton County including Noblesville City Hall, the Noblesville Farmer’s Market, Greek’s Pizzeria and Carmel’s West Park.

“Ingénue” follows a married couple who discovers a human analog in their basement. While Chaplin she appears to be around 20 years of age, the woman they find is a clone with the intelligence of a toddler. The couple is tasked with raising the clone and attempt to teach her what it means to be human. The film is family-friendly and has been compared to popular science fiction films such as “E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial” and “Twilight Zone.”

“I wanted to make a film that mothers could take their daughters to that didn’t have a wicked step-mother to overcome. I wanted to make a film that sci-fi fans could take the whole family to. I wanted to bring back the simple sci-fi story like ‘Twilight Zone’ used to tell,” said Kate Chaplin, writer and director of “Ingénue.” “(The film) encapsulates what I wanted Karmic Courage Productions to be, a professional production company that tells solid stories that showcase strong, flawed and wise female characters.”

The original idea for the film came from a photograph taken by one of Chaplin’s friends.

“I went to my friend Brian McGuffog’s Flicker account,” Chaplin said. “On his page, I saw an image of a young woman laying in cardboard box. I started writing notes: How did she get in the box? Where was the box? Why was she in the box?”

Chaplin wrote her original notes in March of 2011, but the story sat until January 2012 due to other directing projects. In the end, “Ingenue” was shot during 11 days last summer in record-high temperatures.

Chaplin’s work, which includes nine other films, has won a number of awards throughout the state, including the INDY Award for Audience Choice, the Gold Award for Defying Stereotypes and a nomination for a Hoosier Lens Award from the Indianapolis International Film Festival. Last month, Chaplin was a guest speaker at North Central High School for the Women Like Us Foundation’s “Girls are Worth It” event.

Design must embrace change, technology

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Last week, Rachel Kohler led an afternoon presentation at the Indiana Design Center in Carmel. More than 50 design center members and area designers, builders and renovators were in attendance. Kohler is the group president of interiors for Kohler Co. and a member of the company’s founding family.

While a portion of the presentation was dedicated to the history of Kohler Co. and its 140year history, a majority of the afternoon focused on kitchen and bath trends that Kohler has seen develop during the last several years and of which she has learned to take advantage.

Kohler summarized the key trends into several categories: “rightsizing,” “deconsumption,” “sophisticated fusion” and “technology invasion.” Rightsizing is an emerging trend in house and space design in which consumers are looking to create spaces that are an appropriate size for their lifestyle. With this trend, using space efficiently and effectively is vital. With the rise of deconsumption, Kohler Co. has seen that consumers are not necessarily spending less, but are becoming more selective in their spending.

Companies need to keep in mind that consumers must be fought for in today’s market, perhaps more so than in the past.

With what Kohler referred to as “sophisticated fusion,” she has found that during the last

The event ended with a question-and-answer session between Kohler and those in attendance.

several years, consumers have become focused on expressing and celebrating their personal style. Kohler has taken advantage of this trend by having products in an array of colors, giving consumers different options and offering multiple models of many of their products rather than focusing on the custom work that was popular throughout the last decade.

The final trend Kohler spoke about was technology invasion. This trend has been developing for years now, since the rise of the iPod. According to Kohler, it is now more important than ever for products of all kinds to embrace technology and connectivity in ways that has not been done in the past. To capitalize on this trend, Kohler Co. features a number of high tech products such as medicine cabinets housing televisions and refrigerators and showerheads with built-in wireless speakers.

COMMUNITY Cover Story Moffit cuts regular Jim Schneider's hair for the final time.

Ross Moffitt ends his 50-year career as a barber

By Robert Annis • rob@youarecurrent.com After nearly 50 years of cutting hair, a local barber is getting ready to put away his scissors for good.

Ross Moffitt, 74, estimates he’s given nearly 300,000 haircuts during his career, but now it’s time to enjoy some travel and lots of 36-hole days on the golf course. His last day will be March 27.

After spending the first eight years of his career in an eastside Indianapolis barbershop, the Carmel native returned home to cut hair. He’s remained a fixture at Butler Barbershop since the early 1970s, cutting three generations of hair.

Moffitt broke the news to regular customer Jim Schneider when he sat down for his Monday appointment. Schneider, a customer since the nation’s bicentennial, was disappointed, “He’s given me the best haircuts I’ve ever had,” he said. And soon the conversation drifted to earlier times. It might not be the most politically correct admission, but both reminisce about the days when the barbershop was more of a boy’s club.

“It used to be only guys who came in,” Moffitt said.

“There’d be a lot of jokes going around, but you don’t hear many of those anymore. No one has time to sit around and talk anymore.”

Many of his customers are from that bygone era, Moffitt said.

“They’ve been coming to me for a long time,” Moffitt said. He pointed to the floor, where a few stray locks of hair were scattered across it. “A lot of these guys have salt and pepper hair … probably more salt than pepper now.”

Moffitt attributes his success and longevity to not only his ability to cut hair, but also his friendly personality. Fellow barber Jay York, who has been workwww.currentincarmel.com

ing with Moffitt for more than 30 years, says not only is the jovial Moffitt fun to work with, “he’s probably the best barber I’ve ever worked with.”

Many of Carmel’s movers and shakers have been in Moffitt’s chair at some point; Bob Irsay, Bill Polian and IndyCar driver Derek Daly were regular customers for years.

In all his years of cutting hair, Moffitt says he’s only had one customer he didn’t like; unfortunately, it was a regular.

“He was just a nasty person,” Moffitt said. “He’d throw magazines around, was rude to people. If you tried talking to him, he’d just tell you to shut up. I cut his hair for a few years, until he moved to Florida.”

Moffitt allowed himself a bit of a chuckle, adding, “I was glad when he left.”

Moffitt’s much more fond of his current client base, lamenting he won’t be seeing many of his customers as much anymore.

“People do you a lot of favors,” Moffitt said. “One customer gives me four Notre Dame football tickets and a parking pass every year. I’ve been given Pacers tickets, tickets to see IU and Purdue. People know I

Who needs the beach?

It is our position that the Indianapolis area has attained another milestone by being recognized as a top family vacation destination. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines and make your hotel reservations because Indianapolis is serving up some Hoosier hospitality, spring break-style.

While winter-weary Hoosier families scatter to the southern coasts for spring break, Indiana will be opening its doors to budgetconscious families in need of a quick, fun get-away.

Livability.com recently named Indianapolis as one of its top 10 picks for the 2013 best spring break destinations for families. It focused on finding the best quick getaways to make the most of the short time spring break offers by analyzing Livability.com’s 500 city index for places that have temperate climates along with lots of attractions, parks, natural areas, affordable hotels and kid-friendly restaurants. Indianapolis was recognized for “cultural attractions, great restaurants and entertainment districts that create an exciting destination for families looking to fill their spring break with cosmopolitan activities.”

Yes, c-o-s-m-o-p-o-l-i-t-a-n activities.

Indianapolis has come a long way from Indy-no-place thanks to the tireless work of the tourism and hospitality community, city leaders, planners and welcoming residents.

This honor is an especially impressive feat for a land-locked, Midwestern city with no mountains or oceans.

A family affair

Commentary by Terry Anker

As humans on this planet, we should all care about character. It helps keep us from killing each other, to be sure. But more importantly, it expects that we pay for our own consumption, that we care for our own offspring, that we help those who can’t help themselves and that we respect the rights and desires of others to do the same. Yet, character all too often seems to get precious little attention.

In fact, modern dictionaries tend to list character as a set of distinctive traits rather than a more traditional reading that would associate the word with especially positive qualities.

So, how does one hope to teach it? Is it even something that is able to be instilled by training? Or, must it come from within the person who exhibits it? Most likely, character must be modeled if we hope to pass the quality on to our subsequent generations.

The small town of Sheridan boasts many who lead by example. Among them is the

family behind the Biddle Memorial Foundation. Brian Myers, a decedent of the founder and board member of the trust, remembers the generosity of his parents and grandparents even as he helps guide the philanthropic vision of the family’s giving today. It’s not easy.

There are always more requests than resources.

Everybody has a favorite project. The need is great. Fortunately, character doesn’t expect perfection, but it only demands determination. This month, the family, along with local business JBS United, committed to the creation of The Sheridan Fund, administered by the Legacy Fund, Hamilton County’s Community Foundation, to work for the benefit of the historic village. To me, this is an example to follow.

There are four ways in which we have contact with the world; What we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it.

- Dale Carnegie Current in Carmel

Current in Carmel recently learned that Atapco, which owns commercial property at the southeast and northeast corners of Carmel Drive and Guilford Road, is said to be looking to redevelop those properties into a mixed-use development. Phase One of the redevelopment would include 284 apartments, retail and office space. Phase Two would include 108 apartments and commercial space. The redevelopment would include between two- and four-story buildings, a clubhouse and a parking structure just south of City Center Drive. No timeline has been set. We view this is a good use of those parcels in an important corridor of our community. The ease of access from Keystone Parkway and U.S. 31 is good, and the traffic that passes through that area during business hours would prove attractive to potential retail tenants.

••• Quick! Name the nation’s second-largest U.S. employer behind Walmart. If you chose the United States Postal Service, you’re on the money.

Some in Congress, such as Sen. Jerry Moran (RKansas), want Saturday delivery, a possibility for the chopping block, maintained. Bad idea. Since Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe is stuck with a 2006 law Congress passed during the Bush II administration, he is in the middle of prepaying, across 10 years, 75 years’ worth of anticipated retiree health benefits.

Luckily, everything came out fine Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’ll get right to the bottom of things. My husband had his first colonoscopy the other day, and all I kept thinking as I sat in the anxietyfilled waiting room was They’re like lambs being lead to the slaughter, but in a funny, less morbid, kind of way.

See, Doo has a strong family history of colon cancer and a brother who is a gastro-intestinal physician. Both of these resulted in his being scheduled for a screening far earlier than the recommended 50 years of age. So we got our insurance in line, made the appointment and looked forward to the pre-op insanity. At least I was looking forward to it. Watching Doo chug four laxative cocktails and waste an evening on the john was the perfect antidote to my stilllingering bitterness over the dog acquisition.

Even better, he couldn’t eat anything but fat-free chicken broth and non-red popsicles from 5 p.m. onward.

And because he was to be heavily sedated, I had to tag along to receive the good/bad news and to drive him home. As compensation, I was allowed to bear witness to this truly unique post-op recovery ward atmosphere. I say “ward” because Doo was literally brought back to a large “holding facility” with eight beds cordoned off only by curtains. I heard everything on either side of us and across the way.

Most noteworthy, I was entitled to the distinkt pleasure (?) of hearing complete strangers pass gas – both disgusting and hilarious at the same time. For those of you unfamiliar with the process, a colonoscopy victim must expel the air that was used to make room for the scope before he or she is discharged. Patients are instructed to toot as forcefully and as often as then can, earning the coveted Brown Star when they exceed expectations. So while I’m trying to act mature and calm and understand what the physician is saying, I’ve got a scantily-clad Doo mumbling incoherently about Qdoba while earning his star in record time and a cacophony of varioustoned blasts reverberating around me. Is it any wonder I couldn’t stop giggling? That’s potty humor at its best, people.

Luckily, Doo was fine, though the doc did remove some polyps that might otherwise have become cancerous down the road. I, on the other hand, may be permanently scarred. While Doo remembers nothing, I will forever hold vivid images of the packed waiting room of geriatrics whom I later heard star in a surprisingly accurate scene from Blazing Saddles. Peace out.

VIEWS Opinion

Mass transit is necessary

Commentary by Rep. Jerry Torr

Some have questioned why I am authoring legislation in the Indiana General Assembly that would give local voters in Hamilton and Marion counties the ability to improve and fund our transit system. I began as a skeptic myself but have become convinced during the last couple of years that this is necessary for the continued development and growth of central Indiana.

House Bill 1011 allows local officials in Marion and surrounding counties to hold a referendum to determine whether each county will participate in the transit district. Although a number of counties are eligible to participate, it is anticipated that only Marion and Hamilton counties would actually hold referenda in 2014.

In each county in which the referendum passes, local officials would then be authorized to enact an additional local income tax of up to 0.3 percent to fund the transit district. Proponents believe federal grants would likely be available to fund a large portion of the start-up costs. And while the federal government certainly needs to reduce spending, this is money that the federal government will spend anyway – if it does not come to Indiana, it will go to someone else at our expense.

Most opponents of HB 1011 have focused on the potential for light rail, but whether or not any rail component would be included is

not dictated by the legislation and has not been decided. The first phase of the proposal being put forth by the proponents is an expanded bus service for Marion and Hamilton counties, including rapid transit bus lines. These would be nicer, cleaner quieter busses than those being used currently by IndyGo and would have amenities such as Wi-Fi for commuters.

HB 1011 has the support of nearly every mayor in Central Indiana, as well as many other local elected officials. Furthermore, more than 150 different organizations have expressed their support for the plan. These organizations range from business groups to chambers of commerce to nonprofit organizations, and they support the plan for countless reasons, including increasing mobility and expanding access to jobs; easing traffic congestion and retaining and attracting top employers and skilled talent.

We need to be preparing for our future as the population of Hamilton County is expected to double over the next 40 years, and I believe developing a mass transit system is a necessary step toward keeping up with the growth and expansion of central Indiana.

Rep. Torr (R-Carmel) represents a large portion of Clay Township including the city of Carmel.

Transit bill isn’t specific enough Commentary by John Accetturo

House Bill 1011, which is referred to as the Mass Transit Bill, recently passed the House and is pending action in the State Senate.

Three of the seven sponsors of the bill in the House are Jerry Torr (R-Carmel), Steve Braun (R-Carmel/Zionsville) and Todd Huston (RFishers). Four Democrats and another Republican also are sponsors. The mere combination of the sponsors might bring on a buyer beware reaction even to an opened minded person.

The bill authorizes a metropolitan transit district to (1) construct or acquire any public transportation facility; (2) provide public transportation service by operating public transportation facilities; and (3) issue bonds and incur indebtedness. If a county approves the local public question, there will be an additional county economic development income tax rate of up to .3 percent to fund the transit district. For residents of Hamilton County, that will be a 30-percent increase on all income including retirement.

Reading the bill’s details, I discovered that a metropolitan transit district board would be created with as many 14 appointed members that can tax and determine which transportation system they would spend our tax money on. Seats on the board include a union representative from union employees of the district.

Appointments to the board would be made by mayors, the governor, county commissioners, a union, etc. I just do not see how the interest of Hamilton County will be protected by a board as stated in the bill. Additionally, this will be another board created by government which will spend taxpayer money without being responsible to the taxpayers like elected officials are.

There are a few specifics in the bill, but there are no concrete details on what kind of transportation system might be built or how much it will cost. However, it does allow the board to pass a county economic development income tax of .3 percent if the referendum is passed by our county. The vote on this question would take place in 2014 for Hamilton and Marion counties if the bill passes the Senate and is signed into law.

We need better mass transportation. Voting to institute a tax without knowing what you are going to get and what the cost will be makes little sense. This bill asks us to vote ourselves a tax and let a 14-person board decide our fate. Or, just give us the money, and we will take care of you.

WHEN YOU PURCHASE A FACIAL!

There are advantages to getting older, and I’m not just talking about reduced prices on fried chicken when you eat supper at 4:30 in the afternoon.

Chief among these advantages, in my view, is no longer having to worry because you don’t understand popular culture. This would have been the kiss of death, popularity-wise, when I was a young man: Mike: You know, I just don’t get roller disco.

Mike’s Friends: Ha ha ha. Roller disco is the groovy expression of youthful exuberance combining the seductive beat of disco music and the sinewy turns of disco dancing with the athletic grace of roller skating. You are so out of touch, Mike Redmond. See you later, you jive turkey.

These days, I find myself puzzled by the popularity of zombies.

I’m an old-school monster kind of guy – love my Frankenstein, my Wolfman, my Dracula, my Mummy. And I’m not talking remakes. I mean the creaky old original films from Universal Studios. Those monsters scared me when I was watching them on Sammy Terry’s Nightmare Theater, and I still get a tiny thrill of terror seeing their hokey selves on DVDs. But zombies? I just don’t understand the fascination. They shuffle around with deplorable www.currentincarmel.com

skin conditions mumbling about eating brains and destroying anyone who gets in their way. So what? Take away the part about the brains and it’s just another clearance sale.

Whatever the reason, I think zombies are dumb and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest to be out of step on this one.

Another good thing about getting older is you can say things that might have occurred to others who were too afraid to voice them. For example, on this whole recent horsemeat-in-the-hamburger-scandal: How come it’s okay to eat Elsie the Cow and Arnold the Pig and Foghorn Leghorn, but nobody better lay a fork on Mister Ed? Not that I’m advocating eating horsemeat. I wouldn’t touch the stuff if it were the last burger on earth. I just wonder why horses get a pass while the other animals get passed around the table.

Oh well, like I said, I’m just asking. Which I can do, being older. And frankly, I find it way more satisfying than a leg and a thigh (chicken, not horse) with mashed potatoes in the middle of the afternoon. Take that, you jive turkey zombies.

Introducing facials by Alice at The Beauty Lounge

Pennsylvania

Last week my column covered the growing controversy about horse meat in food products around the world. At the beginning, I acknowledged that the piece would include a number of puns, first noting that Swedish meatballs would now be perfect for bridle showers. This is called a homophonic pun because the two words (bridal and bridle) are identical in sound, but different in meaning. Don’t fall asleep yet.

It is fascinating how many people wrote me about the column and peppered their remarks with additional puns, some of which I had not thought of: I was chomping at the bit to read your column.

Pony up and pay for that cheeseburger.

Column seemed rushed. Are you too saddled with other work?

The column really did stirrup my emotions.

All these offerings reminded me of one humorist’s observation: “A pun is a short quip followed by a long groan.” But why does a pun often elicit such a response? I have a theory about that.

In any joke there is a gap between the information provided and the info required to comprehend the witty remark. For example: “The man who invented the Hokey Pokey dance has died. It took the family six hours to get him in the coffin.” To laugh at this observation

requires that you know what the Hokey Pokey is and then have a visual image of the man’s legs and arms moving in and out of the casket. If the reference to the lyrics “you put your right foot in, you put your right foot out” were to be included in the telling, the joke would not be funny because the listener has too small a role in putting it all together. And so my theory is that laughter is the reward you pay yourself for being smart enough to “get” the joke by filling in the missing data.

Now, here’s the problem with puns: There is no missing data. Most everybody gets a pun.

All the information is right there. The punster seems to be broadcasting that what he just said doesn’t take any brains to understand, so anyone will be smart enough to enjoy it. While most people don’t usually laugh at other people’s puns, they generally feel free to offer their own when the humor spirits move them, which is why a pun really is the lowest form of humor, unless you thought of it yourself.

A final suggestion from a Mr. Anonymous: If you do have a friend who is an incorrigible punster, my suggestion is to not incorrige him.

Grant winners will teach classes

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

Four members of the Hamilton County Artists Association are recipients of teaching grants from Nickel Plate Arts Initiative and will offer four hours of beginning art instruction. The HCAA members selected include Mike Janosky, oils; Robin Peet, acrylics; Rodney Reveal, watercolors; and Penny Roberson, oils.

Civic launches ‘special’ youth program Commentary by Cheri Dick Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre is “special” in lots of ways besides the quality of the shows we produce.

Civic is the largest community theatre in Indiana, and one of the ten largest in America. Our theatre is concluding its 98th year of continuous operation. And for more than 40 years, we have offered young people (beginning in the important pre-school years) access to a year-round, theatre-based performing arts program. In fact, Jr. Civic’s educational workshops and outreach programs reach more than 15,000 youngsters annually.

All of these factors combine to make Civic Theatre a one-of-a-kind treasure in the state of Indiana.

The new program I am happy to tell you about connects Civic Theatre with the word “special” in even more meaningful ways. Jr. Civic’s premier touring troupe, named ACT ONE, consists of 30 young performers, ages seven to 14, who live in communities throughout Central Indiana. ACT ONE was established to provide youth with the opportunity to strive for artistic excellence while developing poise, self-confidence, creative resourcefulness and important communication skills.

This spring, every ACT ONE performer will pair with a Special Olympics athlete of a similar age to rehearse and eventually perform a musical theatre program during the Indiana State Special Olympic Games in Terre Haute on June 8.

And then in September, a reunion performance will take place during the International Arts Festival in Carmel. In addition, Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will host the Special Olympics of Hamilton County Award Ceremony at our very own state-ofthe-art Tarkington Theatre.

The value of community service is a lesson taught to the members of ACT ONE throughout the year. But this collaboration with the Special Olympics takes the concept of community service to a whole new level.

It not only will provide a unique performing arts opportunity for Special Olympics athletes, enhancing their essential life skills, but it also will promote compassion and understanding among ACT ONE participants.

It’s a WIN-WIN program for everyone!

And what could be more “special” than that?

HEALTH Wellness

Each concussion is unique Commentary by Gary Chumbley I am routinely asked about concussion prevention and treatments, and with March being Brain Injury Awareness Month, I thought I would share some of the most common misconceptions and facts about traumatic brain injuries.

Many people are familiar with the new concussion law that went into effect July 1 of last year. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that changes the way the brain works. While many are caused by a direct hit to the head, some may be caused by an indirect hit to the body.

Symptoms are not always obvious. They can be subtle, such as headache, light-headedness or feeling sluggish, and they can take 48 to 72 hours after the injury to appear. A concussion can occur without loss of consciousness. Even if symptoms are subtle and only last a short time, it is still considered a concussion.

CT scans and MRIs are not always performed because they are typically normal after sustaining a concussion. Recovery from a concussion varies from person to person, and children and teens typically recover at a much slower rate than adults. Around 80 percent of concussed people recover within seven to 14 days, while 20 percent

can take up to six months or longer to recover.

There are also misconceptions about sporting equipment and concussion prevention. While helmets do help to reduce the risk of fractures and severity of head trauma, they don’t do much to prevent concussions. Mouth guards also do not prevent concussions. They only protect your teeth and reduce the risk of mouth fractures. If there is a question on whether or not a player has a concussion, it’s best to follow the saying, “When in doubt, sit them out.” A player should return to play only after being symptom-free and assessed by a medical professional.

Research suggests that for every concussion, a person is one to two times more likely for a second, two to four times more likely for a third, and three to nine times more likely for a fourth. Remember that no two concussions are the same, and each one should be treated individually.

Gary Chumbley is a physical therapist at IU Health North Hospital and specializes in vestibular therapy and concussion management, coordinating those programs at all three locations (IU Health North Hospital, Zionsville, and Sports Performance).

In addition, he has lectured locally on the subject.

Communication is child’s talk Commentary by David Cain Deep down, we are all just kids. You are just kids in adult bodies. If you watch small children, you’ll see clues about how to deal with other people in your life.

Simple explanations are a necessary requirement. The more simplistic you can explain things, the better the understanding. The more you can compare to things they already understand, the more quickly the concept is understood.

Think about that with other people you talk to. Everybody loves analogies. Everybody loves comparisons. Everybody likes to box things up and search their brain for something like it that they already understand. Every product, every service, every thing is better understood by kids and your customers if it is compared to someGates’ grand plan – Billionaire Bill Gates sees the future of education as one that dumps copious amounts of cash into labs and group work, while less is spent on professors. Instead, leaders in various fields will teach students via the Internet.

thing they already understand.

Kids need attention, and so do your customers.

Kids will interrupt you and ask questions when you are in the middle of something else or talking to another person. They act like they are the most important people in the world. They are, and so are your customers. Give them attention. Show them patience. Thank and praise them.

The most important thing you can do for your kids is to just look when they ask you to and listen when they are talking. It’s how they know you care. And, the same holds true for your clients and customers.

The right data – It might be time to forget about oil and freshwater, and start thinking about data as a “natural resource,” according to a Forbes staffer Robert Lenzer.

Clothing drive a success

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Last week, Shepherd Insurance, Lincoln Financial Group and donors from across Central Indiana completed a successful clothing drive.

Donations were gathered throughout February and the first two weeks of March. All types of clothing and shoes were accepted.

The donations will be given to those in need of clothing at O’Connor House, Holy Family Shelter, Wheeler Mission and Indianapolis Pub-

lic Schools. Additionally, flyers will be sent out seeking any families who are in need. Families will be able to come to Good Hall on the campus of University of Indianapolis on April 14 and pick out clothing, free of charge.

“Maybe this will prevent a child from being segregated due to being homeless or coming from a poverty stricken family or will help one less child be bullied due to the clothes they wear,” said Sue Johnson, a representative of Lincoln Financial Group.

There are over 73,000 pages in the U.S. Tax Code.

LIFESTYLE Grammar Guy

Double up at the end Commentary by Jordan Fischer Last week I wrote about the effects texting has had on common grammar errors. As it happens, this week’s column is inspired by a text as well.

From time to time, a friend of mine who designs ads will double check grammar and spelling issues with me. I received this text from her this week: “Benefitting is never correct, right?

There’s only one ‘T’?”

While I told her to go with two “Ts,” the better answer would have been that, technically, they are both correct. Though this is one of the many cases in which English shows its non-standard colors, my answer was based on more than aesthetic preferences.

You may remember this rule from grade school: When adding suffixes to words, double the final consonant if the preceding vowel would change from short to long. Since this column is about an irregular rule, let’s look at an irregular character for our example: The Mad Hatter.

The word “hatter” is a synonym for “milliner,” or someone who makes hats. It’s formed from the noun “hat” and the suffix “-er,” which is used to turn nouns or verbs into a word which indicates someone/something which does the

noun or verb (“bake” becomes “baker,” “teach” becomes “teacher,” etc.). You’ll notice that “baker” doesn’t gain a second “K,” but “hatter” does gain a second “T.” Why is this?

In the original word “bake,” the “A” vowel sound is already long. Adding a second “K” would form a word that sounded more like “backer.” Without his second “T,” our wonderfully wacky Mad Hatter would turn into the Mad Hater, and “Alice in Wonderland” would probably have been a very different story.

The same principle applies to “benefitting.”

Without the second “T,” we would (normally) get a word that sounded like “benefighting.” Since the words “fighting” and “benefit” seem to me fairly at odds with one another, I prefer to add the second “T” and avoid confusion.

Of course, since English can do everything but agree with itself, both “benefiting” and “benefitting” are considered technically correct.

But that’s a fight for another day.

Without his second “T,” our wonderfully wacky Mad Hatter would turn into the Mad Hater, and “Alice in Wonderland” would probably have been a very different story.

LIFESTYLE Travel

Australia is worth the price and effort Commentary by Lana Bandy Take a poll among your family and friends and you’ll find that Australia is on most Hoosiers’ travel bucket lists. It’s easy to see why: the huge country Down Under offers something for everyone.

Nature lovers will enjoy the Great Barrier Reef.

Located on Australia’s east coast, it is the world’s largest reef, stretching 1,240 miles. The Cairns area is a popular starting point for the reef. Numerous tour operators offer day trips (about 90 minutes from shore). Snorkelers and divers will be amazed by the colorful coral and fish, turtles, sharks and sting rays. Find a ship with submersible boats so non-swimmers can also enjoy the natural wonders. The beaches near Cairns and other northern cities are often closed from October to May due to deadly jellyfish. While these species are less frequent in the reef area, if your tour operator rents “stinger suits,” opt in.

Cairns is home to many zoos and wildlife conservation centers. Here you can “cuddle” a koala and find tame kangaroos eagerly awaiting hand feedings (don’t try this in the wild, though).

If you love the arts, fine cuisine or shopping, Sydney is a necessary stop. The most populous city in Australia, Sydney is famous for its harbor and one of the country’s most recognizable landmarks, the Sydney Opera House. Kids will love

You’ll be in touch with a company that cares about its work and its customers.

The Sydney Opera House is an architectural wonder on the harbor. (Photo by Lana Bandy)

Bondi Beach and its strong surfing culture.

Another can’t miss attraction is Ayers Rock (Aboriginal name, Uluru). The red sandstone formation in the outback is a sacred Aboriginal site. Massive in size (1,142 feet high and nearly six miles in circumference), you can find watering holes, ancient cave paintings and dingoes in the area. Ayers Rock and its magnificent neighbor, The Olgas (Kata Tjuta), are popular sunrise and sunset destinations. The nearest town, Alice Springs, is five hours away, though many fly into Yulara, a nearby resort area.

Given its large size, the best way to travel Australia is via the air. U.S. travelers need two weeks to cover the main destinations. Also keep in mind that the U.S. dollar is weak versus the Australian dollar, so things are quite pricey. Despite this, Australia is well worth the effort.

Probiotics are powerful warriors Commentary by John Mikesell Feed the “good guy” bacteria in your dog’s gut to help him get the most out of his food.

Adding supplemental Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacteruim bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, or other probiotic organisms to your dog’s diet is almost always a good idea.

This will support the resident micro flora that are always present in your dog’s gut, enhancing digestion and absorption of nutrients, supporting detoxification and elimination processes and helping to boost his immune system.

The digestive system is the largest immune system organ in the body; roughly 70 percent of the body’s immune cells, entrecotes, goblet cells, and other immune waters reside in the mucosal linings of the intestinal tract.

Probiotics work in concert with these immune warriors by producing special enzymes and other chemicals that support immune functions at many levels. Probiotics will also help keep populations of “bad guy” pathogens, like Salmonella spp, and Escherichia coli, in check.

One of the fundamental rules of holistic pet care is to al-

ways remember that no two animals are alike.

Your dog may look and behave like others, but his (or her) inner nature is different from any other dog.

What you can do: • Give your dog a probiotic supplement that offers a variety of strains of beneficial bacteria.

• Nourish those good guy bacteria with a probiotic supplement.

• Monitor your dog’s weight, the condition of his coat, his energy level, and the quality of his daily stool for signs that his diet needs to be adjusted in some way. What works well for some dogs may not benefit another dog in other circumstances.

Police report a solid move – If your pet bites someone or someone’s pet, it might be a smart move to file a police report, especially if medical attention needs to be paid for. At the end of the day, a report could save you from having to pay out more than is necessary to someone looking for a “this coffee is too hot” type of lawsuit. – www.living.msn.com Vaccination Records a must – Keep those records handy. If your dog bites another person or animal and you can’t prove it has been vaccinated, it might mean a trip away with animal control. Save yourself some time and your pooch some emotional issues, and keep those records close. – www.living.msn.com Lil Bub’s big movie – The famous feline that went viral is getting the silver screen treatment. “Lil Bub & Friendz,” a flick made in cooperation with Vice, will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival. – www.pawnation.com Growling can be good – It might not be nice to hear, but growling is a good thing for a dog to do. Consider it as an “early warning system.” If you teach a dog not to growl when it is getting upset, it skips from being unpleasant to whatever its next reaction – which could be violent. – www.pawnation.com

PROTECT YOUR HUE Spring is all about new beginnings. So, what better time to try a new hair color, or for the less daring, adding just a few highlights? Investing time and money into a new hair color is only worth it if the color lasts! Be sure to ask your stylist for recommendations for keeping your color vibrant, even when spending hours in the sun on your Spring Break getaway.

Color protecting products, such as Salon 01 Concepts brand Anti-Fading shampoo and ColorMoist conditioner will help in keeping your color from fading between visits.

BEAT THE BLOAT ON SPRING BREAK! Beating bloat is imperative to feeling and looking your best in your everyday clothes, and, of course, in your swimsuit.

Try these tricks to beat the belly bloat so you can feel fabulous and confident!

Avoid salt - choose spices to flavor meals instead Avoid carbonated beverages - drink water Avoid high-carb foods - choose whole grains, protein, and brown rice if you must have a starch Avoid gum - when you chew gum, you swallow air that then becomes trapped in your GI tract causing pressure, bloating, and belly expansion.

Avoid gassy vegetables - cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, onions, peppers, and citrus fruits as these vegetables create more gas in the GI tract.

Avoid low-calorie and low-carb products - these products contain sugar alcohols that cause gas, bloating, and diarrhea.

Avoid acidic drinks - ditch the coffee, alcohol, tea, and acidic fruit juices that irritate your GI tract, causing swelling.

Make an appointment with a Salon 01 stylist to try a new color or to add some fresh highlights today!

EXFOLIATING ADVICE Exfoliating boosts your skins natural radiance while evening skin tone, unclogging pores and diminishing fine lines. Keep in mind however, over scrubbing can cause irritation and breakouts.

For oily skin, it is OK to use a product to exfoliate every day, as long as it is meant for daily use. If your skin is normal or dry, exfoliating two or three times per week is sufficient.

To be sure you are on a proper exfoliating schedule, consult with a trained esthetician. Salon 01 estheticians are trained to recommend the proper products for use at home, as well as suggest a regular maintenance routine which could include weekly or monthly facials, and a series of microdermabrasions to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy all year!

Salon 01 estheticians are now booking appointments, and reservations are filling up fast! (317)580-0101

INSIDE & OUT Indoors

Remodel creates interest upon approach to front door

Commentary by Larry Greene

Creeping out from under the cold layer of winter into spring’s renewal is a rite of passage every year. As the warmer weather brings you outside, it may be time to take a discerning look at your home’s curb appeal. This homeowner did just that, and decided she was ready for a change.

Original Design: This west Carmel home, located in the Crooked Stick neighborhood, was built in the 1980s. The current homeowners have been in the house for 17 years. “When we originally bought the house, it had Tudor details without being a Tudor-style home,” the homeowner said. “When we removed those bits about five years ago, the house became very plain. We tried to make the look work, but we decided we needed to dress it up.” The narrow walkway and small, dark entry porch were not particularly welcoming or noticeable.

Design Process: The goal of the project was to give the house character and presence. Set far back on the lot, the homeowners wanted the home to be more impactful from the street. The design was created to have the home become more and more interesting the closer you moved toward it. Two main elements were incorporated into the final design: an expansive walkway and

large yet cozy front porch.

The wide entry walkway serves as a focal point to welcome visitors as soon as they get out of their car. The lighted, stone pillars with limestone caps, which match the side block and porch base, cue visitors to the location of the new double front door. The texture of the flagstone serves as a transition from the existing

asphalt driveway to the brushed concrete porch.

Timber-frame architecture influenced the front porch design, but the main goal was to complement the existing look of the home.

Double cedar columns and exposed beams draw the eye from the driveway. As one comes up the walkway and on to the porch, smaller details like the cedar trim on the posts and the triple

brackets above the pillars, are noticeable. Partially enclosing the covered porch with newel posts and cedar rails and spindles makes the space feel like a cozy room. By adding brackets under the eaves, the design of the new porch is tied to the rest of the home.

Color choice was centered on extending this cohesive look. The variegated flagstone used on the walkway and pillars compliment the home’s brick siding. The main paint color compliments the stones, while the trim color helps to pop the architectural details.

Final Result: While before the non-descript architecture was easy to ignore, the new entryway completely transformed the look of the home, making it impossible to forget. The homeowner is proud to welcome her guests. “I wanted people’s blood pressure to drop when they approached our house,” she said. “Our home is so inviting now that I think we have achieved that goal.”
