Carmel resident returns from expedition to Argentina

By Stirling Matheson • stirling@youarecurrent.com Carmel’s Max Yeary returned recently from leading a 75-day student expedition to Chile and Argentina. Yeary was in the southernmost areas of the hemisphere from Sept. 22 to Dec. 10 with 17 students through a program run by the National Outdoor Leadership School.

Wisely prepared, the trip began with three days of wilderness medicine instruction. After a course described by NOLS as “fastpaced” and “hands-on,” the students were awarded Wilderness First Aid certifications.

The next 30 days were spent in sea kayaks traveling down the coast line. The students had to learn to safely traverse the waves and tough conditions that make ocean kayaking difficult, as well as learning to navigate at sea. The group spent 17 of the 30 days Girls Scouts to host Zumbatronic Party – Girl Scout Troop 790 will be hosting a “high-energy fitness party” with routines specially choreographed for children at the Guerin Catholic High School on 15300 Gray Rd. Cost is $6 per scout in advance, or $8 at the door. Adult admission is free. Ms. Ginder can be contacted at 844-6332.

Carmel Symphony Orchestra League to host luncheon – The Carmel Symphony Orchestra League presents the “Hats Off to the Carmel Symphony” luncheon from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 24 at the Ritz Charles on 12156 N. Meridian St. Karen Alford will be the program speaker, vocalist Blair Clark & Co. will perform and there will be a raffle. Cost is $40 per person and all proceeds support the orchestra. Call 848-1552 for more information.

Cooking Greek to host Easter Festival – Cooking Greek on 12955 Old Meridian St. will be hosting a traditional Greek Orthodox Easter Festival on Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m.

There will be live music, a disc jockey, face painting, a silent auction, raffle, beer, wine and “much more.” Tickets are $30 for adults, $15 for children ages 7 to 12, and free for children age 6 and younger.

of the kayaking segment paddling, and managed to travel more than 190 miles from Puerto Aguirre to Puerto Cisnes.

The next 32 days were spent in the mountains. The students traveled 65 miles and 20,300 feet in the National Reserve of Cerro Castillo near Coyhaique, Chile. The students split into two groups to reach the summits of both Mount Pinon and Mount Puntudo. These groups had to move through mountainous and glacial terrain safely and “with minimum impact into the wilderness.”

NOLS was founded in 1965 by mountaineer Paul Petzoldt to provide high-quality educational expeditions. The nonprofit offers programs that range in length from 10 days to that of an entire school year, to students from ages 14 to 70. Expeditions take place in the wilderness areas of North America, South America, India, Australia and New Zealand.

A close perspective of grain elevator – I am contacting you in regard to the imminent demolition of the grain elevator. I am manager of Club Canine Doggie Daycare & Boarding, which literally shares a parking lot with the recently much-debated grain bin. It sits in our “backyard,” so to speak. We lease the space Club Canine operates in, and have been in this location for five-and-a-half years. The owner, Kera Slowitsky, has worked on her own to build this business from the ground up, and I joined her in helping build and run it two years ago. We are not a franchise dog daycare with corporate money behind us, nor do we have any investment partners to help us through slumps, bad economies, temporary competition, etc. It is us and our clients. So things that impact our business on a daily basis are a big deal. Continued at currentincarmel.com

Erika’s Place to open on Union Street – The smell of flipping flapjacks will soon linger through Union Street as Erika Flanders and Cheryl Hunter prepare to open a familystyle breakfast and lunch restaurant where Queso Blanco was formerly located before it was shut down in January.

Flanders and Hunter aren’t new to the restaurant business; this will be their second location for their quaint diner-type atmosphere. They opened their first Erika’s Place in Cicero nine months ago, and Hunter said it was a team effort with fellow employees.

Joan Carney brings fashions of the world to Lilly’s Boutique Gallery – As a child, Joan Carney was surrounded by whispers of places far removed from her Milwaukee home; there was an ethnic street party outside her front door, the scent of neighbors’ foreign foods drifting through the Wisconsin air, the occasional trinket retrieved by her parents on a voyage afar as a gift for young Carney. She’s grown now, kids and marriage in the rearview mirror, but she’s still awash in worldly things.

Helping others

Adopting four-legged friends Commentary by Jeff Worrell Standard operating procedure for a Carmel City Council meeting includes a spotlight moment to feature an animal available for adoption from the Hamilton County Humane Society.

Usually, it is Councilor Luci Snyder who holds up a glamour shot of a lovable, huggable, irresistible example of man’s best friend named Max, Buttons or Princess. The hope is someone in the audience or watching TV will fall in love and make Max and friends an offer which cannot be refused.

Carmel students Cameron Freeman, Baylee Burdick, Nick Backer, Elli Goldstien and Emmy Goldstein must have watched a Council meeting or two because they have taken Ms. Snyder’s lead – and improved on it. Every Saturday from noon to 3 p.m., these kids get together at the Merchants Square Petco to run a dog-and-catrescue adoption program. The results are amazing.

Yes, for more than a year, these dedicated kids have been giving up their Saturday afternoons to help Mary Helen Wilborn, Pals for Paws Inc. founder, save seven to nine rescued animals every week. The kids are devoted to saving animals which might otherwise be euthanized.

Cameron gets to the Petco early on Saturday and arranges all of the cages before Mary Helen gets there. Then, up to 30 dogs and 20 cats, with their big “puppy-dog eyes” and uncondi-

tional love, are ready to be adopted. The other kids throughout the afternoon are responsible to walk the dogs, clean cages and of course, encourage potential new pet owners.

Pals for Paws Inc. is a nonprofit animal rescue organization which has had great success placing pets in Carmel. “The people that come to Petco from the Carmel area turn out to be fantastic pet owners,” said Mary Helen. “The program has been very successful due to the generosity of the people in this area. I know the dogs and cats adopted will be loved for years to come.” Pals for Paws Inc. is always in a constant struggle between animals that need care and limited resources. Mary Helen can always use monetary donations, as well as old bedding, towels, crates and pet food. She has saved more than 10,000 animals during the 11 years her organization has been in existence.

We find beauty in the most incomprehensible places and the otherwise homely faces. It is our gift to see beyond the dirt, terror, sadness and defeat, and find the true soul that lies within.

Hamilton County Express to increase rates May 1

By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County Express, the county’s public transportation system run by Janus Developmental Services, will be increasing its rates May 1 after learning it will receive reduced funding this year.

One-way adult fares will increase from $4 to $5 at the beginning of next month. Janus CEO Connie Sanders said the rate increase was necessitated after Noblesville Township informed the nonprofit it would be cutting all funding this year.

According to Sanders, 51 percent of all Hamilton County Express passengers originate from Noblesville Township – approximately 45,000 rides a year.

Janus Developmental Services’ monthly luncheon held next Tuesday – The Janus Developmental Services monthly luncheon will be held next Tuesday at 11:15 a.m. at the nonprofit’s office, 1555 Westfield Rd., Noblesville. Luncheons include a tour of the agency. For more information, contact Joanne McDonough at 773-8781 or jmcdonough@janusinc.org.

“We can’t even keep up with our demand,” Sanders said. “Our denial list keeps increasing.

It doesn’t mater how many buses we put on the road.”

Sanders said Hamilton County Express will continue servicing passengers from Noblesville Township, despite the funding cut.

“We had a (tactical advisory committee) meeting, and a guy from IndyGo said when a portion of the county stops supporting them (IndyGo), they cut off service,” Sanders said.

“We considered that. But, we’re part of this community. Ultimately, we decided the only thing to do was to increase rates.”

Cover story

From a small farming community to the thriving city we have today

By Stirling Matheson • stirling@youarecurrent.com

From Bethlehem to Carmel Highlights from the city's history

1819 – John Brouillett (Brewitt) of Vincennes established a fur-trading post near the present cross streets of Carmel.

1823 – Silas Mofitt of North Carolina and others settle on the White River north of Eller’s Bridge.

1824 – Francis McShane of Kentucky entered two tracts near Westfield Boulevard and 99th Street, near the Native American Ketcham family, the only other residents in the area.

Carmel is approaching its terquasquicentennal, and it is a very different community now than it was even a few decades ago. The settlement, then town and now city has been at the forefront of development for centuries. It hosted a noteworthy stop on the Underground Railroad, was the site of the world-renowned Lynnwood farm, was the primary working space of avant-garde architect, Avriel Christie Shull and is now a major center for art, design and amateur sport. “(The 175th anniversary) is a milestone” says Danny O’Malia, a Carmel resident. “I think overall, what Carmel has accomplished, starting about 50 years ago, is incredible, and this is a great chance to celebrate.” To illustrate, he continued, “I can remember when I was in the fourth grade and my brother was going to play against the Carmel Pups. We lived on the west side of Indianapolis at the time, and once we were north of 56th Street, there was nothing but corn fields. It felt like we were driving to Chicago. All of these towns have grown tremendously, but Carmel has always been the leader in Hamilton County.”

Schools drive growth

1828 – John D. Kinzer Jr. of Ohio purchased land near Keystone Avenue and Main Street and built a two-story log cabin, which is still standing. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

1830 – Friends (Quakers) met to organize Richland Meeting in present-day Carmel.

It was the first church in the area.

1837 – Town of Bethlehem (now Carmel) laid out on April 13 by John Felps (Phelps), Alexander Mills, Seth Green and Daniel Warren.

10 | April 10, 2012

In the 1950s, according to Katherine Dill, Carmel Clay Historical Society executive director, Carmel began to experience its first major growth. Part of this was the strength of the school system, but another important influence was the work of Shull, who designed the world renowned mid-century modern homes in the Thornhurst development, which is on the National Registry of Historic Landmarks. This development helped Carmel attract people from across the U.S. and Canada.

Carmel Clay Historical Society President Fred Swift attended high school in Carmel in the late '50s and said the town was “very small compared to what it is now.” He said one of the most important moments in Carmel’s development was the opening of the extended Keystone Avenue, in the mid-'60s, which connected Indianapolis with Carmel much more intimately.

Jack Badger, Carmel resident since 1968, said, “The only reasons to go downtown were to get your haircut or to buy something at the hardware store.” That’s a far cry from the vibrant Arts & Design District we have today.

“In 1966, my father was getting ready to open his first O’Malia’s store, and he explained to me why he picked 106th Street

and College Avenue as the spot,” O’Malia said of the Keystone opening. “He said, ‘I picked that spot because Carmel is going to explode after they (construction workers) extend Keystone (Avenue). They have an excellent school system and people are going to move from Indianapolis to Carmel. These schools will guarantee us the right kind of customers and will provide us with the right kind of employees.’”

1874 – The town was incorporated and the name of Carmel officially adopted. The new form of government was a five-member Town Board.

Executive needed

In 1971, Swift was elected to the town’s Board of Trustees. He says, “We were a small town of maybe 5,000 people, and we were operating as a town. When we were still growing by leaps and bounds in the '70s, it became obvious the lack of a full-time executive was not what the town needed, so we took on the city form of government in 1976. We had a mayor and a board of public works, and were much better able to manage the growth. I watched a lot happen as a member of City Council and the Board of Public Works from that time of 5,000 people to when the population was poking 55,000 in the '90s.”

When asked about what they think the turning point was regarding Carmel’s arts community, O’Malia, Badger and Swift all cited Mayor Jim Brainard. Badger describes him as “one great mayor” who has been able to get past the “vocal negative minority” that stood against projects like The Center for the Performing Arts, the City Center and the Monon Trail that have made Carmel such a desirable place to call “home.”

“I suppose Brainard’s election was the biggest thing. He’s a patron of the arts and he thought, and still thinks, art has a bigger role to play in a community like this. He’s probably initiated most of that,” Swift says of the arts in Carmel.

“Coincidentally, the high school has been pretty strong in the subject for quite some time and has a great performing arts department.”

“I think the city had been looking for a theme for the downtown area, which was hurting, frankly, after strip malls and shopping centers had sucked the life out of it in the '80s and '90s,” Swift says about the Arts & Design District. “I think it (Carmel) was viewed as a good place to restore using arts and design as a theme.”

Carmel celebrates 175 years

By Stirling Matheson • stirling@youarecurrent.com Two-hundred years ago, the area that is now Hamilton County was inhabited by members of the native Delaware tribe. In 1818, the U.S. government purchased the land for approximately $4,000. A year later, there was a furtrading post owned by John Brouillett (Brewitt) near what is today Main Street and Range Line Road. Brouillett’s family lived in Vincennes, but he came to what was then known by the Delaware tribe as “Tadpoles Glory,” to barter with the locals. He contracted them to trap for him and gave them furs, wampum, tools and weapons in return. The tribe changed the name of the area to Brewittsville in his honor.

In 1823, Silas Moffitt came from North Carolina with others and founded the first American settlement in the area on the White River. Due to the increase in traffic in the area, two roads were constructed: Main Street (now Range Line Road) and Main Cross Street (now Main Street).

By April 13, 1837, a proper town was laid out on 14 plots of land by John Phelps, along with Daniel Warren, Alexander Mills and Seth Green. This town was named Bethlehem. The town was founded, according to the Carmel Clay Historical Society, “to build and improve morally, financially, spiritually, socially and politically.” The son of Daniel Warren, Z. Warren, gave the following account in “Starting a Town.”

“In 1837, my father set about starting a town here, being the intersection of the roads where four farms cornered, the southwest being his own.

Two others, Alexander Mills, on the northeast, John Phelps on the southeast, were willing to have land platted and sell lots, but on the northwest the owner was unwilling. My father offered him $100 for an acre, enough for four lots. That being a big price, he accepted it. Then the ground was platted and recorded under the name of Bethlehem.

“My father sold lots at whatever he could get for them in order to start the town. One he sold for 5 yards of homemade jeans of indifferent quality, and the purchaser was to build a house on it with clay and about large enough for a poultry house; but it filled the contract.

“The post office was named Carmel, because there was one in the state by the name of Bethlehem. In the early (18)’60s, when the town was incorporated, the name was changed to Carmel to accord with the name of the post office.”

The town was built by Quakers and has, for as long as it has existed, hosted at least one meeting of the friends. It was described thusly by the Indiana Gazetteer in 1850, “Bethlehem, a small village inhabited mostly by Friends, in the southwest corner of Hamilton County.”

One hundred seventy-five years later, Carmel’s population has surpassed 35,000 who are carefully treading the line between development and heritage. While many of our historical structures have been torn down, or destroyed in events like the fire of 1913, there are still houses standing built by people like Silas Moffitt, as well as reminders of the city’s more agricultural past, like the farm buildings at Plum Creek. Let us take a moment to remember our history as we celebrate our terquasquicentennal.

Editorial

Stamping out sexual abuse of kids needs your help

Hamilton County parks and trails It is our position Hamilton County should be congratulated on being the healthiest county in Indiana. The annual County Health Rankings, released by the University of Wisconsin, takes into account the number of low weight births and the rate of people who die before age 75, has deemed Hamilton County the healthiest, with Boone County coming in second.

We find it encouraging that Hamilton County residents take the time to ensure they are healthy. We would like to challenge residents in Hamilton County to come in first next year. We are privileged to live in an area rich with parks and trails designed to accommodate all sorts of outdoor activities. As the weather continues to warm up, we should try to take full advantage of these resources.

We understand everyone has a busy schedule and it can be difficult to get out as much as we’d like and get some exercise.

However, with a little preplanning and motivation, we can all get out and be active.

We’ve already paid for all these parks and trails … we might as well take full advantage of them.

Worldwide misspeak Commentary by Terry Anker

In a world of instant messaging and the land of ubiquitous social media, an off-handed remark can be broadcast to thousands – perhaps millions – of people. Urged by the goal of expanding those who know and understand the importance of routine philanthropy in their lives, our community foundation, The Legacy Fund, has started a program to make full use of the array of these modern communication tools including Facebook, Twitter, blogs and LinkedIn. Mostly, Legacy Fund posts photos of local events and heroes along with the occasional notice of some piece designed to inspire giving. Yet, when reposting a story from The Wall Street Journal which innocuously enough supported corporate philanthropy, a far-away reader jumped into the fray with a stinging assessment of the purported generosity of the business leaders who give. Now, it seems one can, at the push of an all-too-easy button on the handy cell phone, post each fragment of thought.

If a basic tenant of public discourse is to

“know one’s audience,” then the open nature of the Web is antithetical to this objective. Once posted, information is impossible to control and contain, yet entirely easy to contort. Recently, filmmaker Spike Lee tweeted online to millions the address of the shooter of the young boy in Florida. Unfortunately, Mr. Lee had an address for the wrong people. Thereafter, these folks have been receiving death threats and are in hiding for fear of their family’s safety.

Should Mr. Lee be held to account for inciting vigilantism? Or, was his incident a simple misspeak amplified by the megaphone provided by social media? Regardless, it is clear these, like any powerful tools, are inherently dangerous and must be treated with special care. Likewise, their irresponsible use can carry great consequence to both user and bystander.

These statistics knocked us off our perch: One in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before they turn 18. If that doesn’t upset you, consider more than 90 percent of sexuallyabused kids actually know their abuser. This madness has to cease. We’re in the middle of Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Chaucie’s Place, the advocacy center of which Current is a sponsor, is conducting a key program on April 23 at the Fishers Library; it should prove well worth the time of any interested parents, teachers, coaches and/or volunteers. The program, Darkness to Light’s Stewards of Children, is a comprehensive sexual abuse prevention-training program that educates adults how to avert, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The program includes a three-part DVD presentation, an interactive workbook and a facilitator-led discussion. The cost is $15 per person for the session running from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Chaucie’s Place tells us attendees will gain increased awareness of the prevalence, consequences and circumstances of child sexual abuse; new skills for adults to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse; positive change to organizational policies and procedures; and individual commitment to action through a personal prevention plan. For more information, please contact Chaucie’s Place at 759-8008.

Letters to the Editor Basketball needs bigger spotlight VIEWS

Editor, Carmel High School wins the 4A state basketball championship. But, judging by article placement in Current in Carmel, the much bigger story of the week (including full cover photo) is about a man opening a pizza shop. Befud-

dling. Maybe I don’t understand the purpose of this paper dedicated to happenings in Carmel.

I’m disappointed. I expected full prominent coverage of this rare accomplishment.

Another opinion on grain elevator

Editor, In my opinion, the grain elevator should be sealed, painted and signed by a local artist. Taking into fact the present works of art Carmel has presented, it would add to the artistic surround-

ings we now enjoy. Landscaping the area with a small park and pond next to the Monon would allow a moment of solitude to the users.

Robert Auscherman, 46033

Commuter freedom for less than Palladium Editor, As gas prices increase, the notion of taking my bicycle to work (weather permitting) would conserve valuable household budget dollars and subsequently broaden a healthy lifestyle.

Carmel has made a feeble effort by placing signs along routes asking motorists to “share” the road. I might as well put a target on my back. People don’t pay attention to the construction zone speeds, and this sign is not likely to

encourage “sharing.”

I would like to propose an initiative that would cost less than the Palladium and the City Center, and would improve bicycle commuter safety. The city would earmark safe routes for commuters and build multiuse paths, much like they have done between Ditch and Michigan roads. Abandon the idea of sidewalks, which are really too narrow for commuting.

Warning: The following may cause embarrassment and eye-rolling in people of the male persuasion. Read at your own risk. Also, if you are pregnant or plan to become so, you may want to skip on over to another column.

As most of you know, I recently turned 40.

My twin sister, in order to celebrate this milestone, decided to have a baby. A baby! I can’t top that, but her pregnancy did inspire me to seek out some sort of challenge to prove to myself getting older doesn’t have to mean dementia and osteoporosis. I chose a marathon. Not a full 26.2 miles of course − suffering through one of those puppies was the most miserable experience of my 20s − but a 13.1-mile (half ) marathon. It’s still impressive, but far less fatal.

And Doo and I are planning a beach vacation with the kids during the summer, so a mini seemed like a great idea. I’ve been training for about six weeks now and am progressing on schedule, but am facing one major hurdle every time I jog.

Uncontrollable urination. And not in a wayside port-a-let. Actually, mid-running. What the hoo-ha? I can deal with the sore knees, the racing heart, even the occasional light-headedness and nausea that come with overexerting myself on a record-high temperature day after

10 hours of work, but I must draw the line at soaking myself. And I’ve tried everything short of self-imposed dehydration. Nothing helps.

So now I’m stuck wondering how I’ll manage a maxi pad or even a Depends on race day. Because it’s so freakin’ distracting, not to mention humiliating, when I’m only a mile in and the leaking begins. I ran one hour this morning, and the first thing I had to do once I stumbled into the house and let Doo know I’d survived, hop in the shower.

Here I am trying to get in shape and show my kids how to set and reach goals, and a little thing like bladder control may derail me.

What’s a gal to do?

I do have a friend who opted for surgical treatment, but I’m just not sure I’m ready for that. Sewing up the nether region seems like something my mother or grandmother should be worrying about, not me. I just want to be able to run a few miles and mop up sweat, not urine, like normal people. Is that too much to ask? Peace out.

Time for a change?

Laughs by Dick Wolfsie

I admit I’m not very good with gadgets. I’m having a heck of a time with the new parking meters that require credit cards. I told a police officer in downtown Indy the other day I couldn’t figure out how to get the blasted machine to accept my VISA. “Join the club,” he said. I’d like to. I hope it accepts cash.

I miss the old parking meters. I miss fumbling for change in my pockets in a torrential rain. I miss going to a newsstand and buying a pack of gum with a $20 bill, just to get some coins. But if you love nostalgia like I do, don’t despair. With a little poor planning, you can still get one of those quaint little orange tickets on your windshield.

When I was a kid in New York, you could park for 10 minutes for a penny. Of course, you couldn’t find a space, but at least it was affordable. My father still complained about parking being too expensive. He once told me on the morning of March 5, 1947, it cost him 16 cents to park while my mother was giving birth to me. OK fine, but did he have to take it out of my first allowance?

The first working parking meters were installed in July 1935 in Oklahoma. In the 1930s, the meters in Chicago couldn’t generate any

ONE WEEK OF TANNING

profit. Most of the people who could afford to own cars in the Windy City were bank robbers or jewelry-store thieves, and the longest they ever parked anywhere was three to five minutes.

Some people have challenged the constitutionality of paid parking, claiming streets are public property and nowhere in our founding fathers’ documents were parking meters ever mentioned. That’s a very conservative point of view. The liberals want directions in braille on the meters. Can we find a happy medium here?

Parking meter pricing should be tied to how expensive your car is. For example, if you drive a $150,000 Lexus, the fee to park downtown should be $25 an hour. But if you have, let’s say, a 2004 burgundy Hyundai Tucson with a dent in the right passenger door, a dime a minute seems fair, just to pick an example totally at random.

It may be quite a few years before the traditional parking meters come back in use. While I wait, I’m going to eat healthy and exercise. I plan on buying myself some time.

Stolen goods: Portable entertainment CARMEL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Laughs by Mike Redmond

2009: I buy a new radio for the truck; someone breaks in and steals it.

2011: I buy a new radio for the truck; someone breaks in and steals it.

2012: I buy a new radio for the truck; someone breaks in and steals it.

Three times in the last four years, I have supplied new entertainment and/or pawning opportunities for someone who does not share my views as to the private ownership of movable property.

You know what? This is getting to be a little tiresome.

Which is not to say you get used to it, because you don’t. You just can’t get used to going out to your truck and finding the window smashed, the radio gone and in this last case, the dashboard half ripped out.

(Sour note: Back in the old days, anyone who tried to rip out a dashboard was asking for a hernia. Bright note: Today’s dashboards may pop out in order to allow easy access to the merchandise, but they pop back in just as easily. I salute you, automotive engineers).

Anyway, I am once again without movable entertainment. And I am slightly inconvenienced by this, seeing as how I don’t wear a watch and kind of count on the radio to keep

me on time.

What I am not, really, is upset.

First of all, I’m not the only person this happens to, and I’m not just talking about in the city. I mean on my street. In my neighborhood, the rule of thumb is bolt it down or lose it, and that’s not even a sure thing. After all, anybody can buy a set of bolt cutters.

Also, I know I’m stacking the deck against me by parking on the street. There’s not much I can do about that, though. The garage is full of gym equipment, and besides, the truck doesn’t fit in there anyway.

And finally, it may have been stolen but I try not to lose sight that a radio is not a person. It is not alive. It cannot love. It is just a thing, and things are replaceable. I know what I’m talking about. Boy, do I ever.

That said, I think I’ll go without a truck radio for a while. Most of my trips these days are short, and I don’t mind the silence. And if I need to know what time it is, I can just put a sundial in the bed. Bolted down, of course.

Exilis to fix liposuction Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: I had liposuction six months ago that has left me with some unevenness over the thigh areas. The skin has some dimpling and a few more obvious humps in the upper portion of outer thighs. My doctor told me to give it six months after surgery to see if they would smooth out, and they definitely haven’t. Would Exilis be able to fix or improve how this looks?

A: Skin irregularities are the result of an uneven fat layer under the skin. They can become apparent after liposuction due to pre-existing cellulite, poor skin elasticity and an irregular layering of residual fat left behind. One has to look carefully at the lumps and bumps to determine if filling the indentations, decreasing the height of the lumps or some combination approach is best.

Model Grand Opening at Abney Glen in West Carmel!

Exilis is a radiofrequency device that does spot fat reduction and has some degree of a skin-tightening effect. I find it to be one of the best nonsurgical approaches to treat liposuction deformities available today. It will likely have some beneficial effects on the contour of the thigh skin by helping to reduce the thicker or raised fat areas. It usually requires three or four treatments done in the office every two weeks to see the best effect.

But if the indentations are the main contour problems, those are best treated by fat injections.

Help me, help you Commentary by David Cain

My 4-year old daughter came out of the restroom smiling and I asked her quickly, “Did you wash your hands?” Her response was immediate. It was an instinctual “Yes!” Then, she looked down at them and smelled them both just to be sure.

We are all guided by instincts and have an initial reaction or response that requires no thinking. We just react. Kids also are considerable models for how instinctual people can be.

They haven’t had time to learn everything and they simply act in their own best interest. They act to protect themselves, even if it is to stay out of trouble with a parent.

Little Jacquie’s first response is to say her hands are clean, despite what actually happened in the restroom. She knows instinctually how to protect herself and immediately answers in a protective way. She’s not maliciously answering, only protecting herself.

We all have instinctual responses to stimuli before we move on to the more rational thinking. And, that instinctual response is centered on what’s in our own best interest and what best protects us. Even arguments are usually the byproduct of instinctual reactions. If you take the time to dissect or think rationally about the argument topic, you usually defuse the emotions and get to a more productive conversation.

All this can be useful in communicating with others, especially others you want to act. If you speak to people about everyone’s favorite topic, themselves, then you can get heard. If you speak to them about their fears and pain and how to “protect” themselves, then you can spur action.

Insurance

Protection for pool owners Commentary by Andy Warren Question from Charles S. of Carmel: We’re going to open our pool up for the summer in the next month or so and are slightly concerned we don’t have all of our bases covered when it comes to protecting ourselves. What are the big issues?

Response from Andy Warren: Issues The most important thing to remember as a pool owner is you make sure your insurance agent knows you have a pool. Failure to notify your agent can result in denied claims and the liability risk falling completely on you. This is very important to remember if you add a pool to your existing property. Not having the pool on your policy can expose you to some serious unwanted risks.

Carriers have varying requirements and pricing schemes when it comes to pools. Independent insurance agencies have access to many carriers and will be able to find the best combination of price and coverages for your needs.

Coverage recommendations We recommend at least $1 million in liability coverage for all of our clients with a homeowners policy. I would also advise adding an additional $1 million of coverage by adding an

umbrella liability policy to protect you and your family against catastrophic claims.

Claim prevention Having adequate insurance in place protects your assets if an incident occurs, but it does nothing to prevent something from happening.

Liability almost always falls on the pool owner and staying on top of your responsibility to keep your pool safe and secure is just as important as having the proper insurance in place. A safety pool cover protected by lock and key is probably the best place to start. A quality cover completely seals the pool and prevents accidental access to the water by unwanted visitors, children and pets. Making sure your pool is protected by a fence is also a good idea, but no fence is unconquerable.

It’s also important to remember claims can happen no matter what you do to prevent them.

You buy insurance to protect yourself and your family. Facing a liability claim without an insurance company standing by your side can make an already unpleasant situation much worse.

Eastside Project of Central Park enhances Carmel scenery editorial@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation is taking strides to expand its inventory of parks and recreation opportunities available to the residents of Carmel. With the inclusion of the Eastside Project of Central Park, an additional source of outdoor recreation and educational opportunities will be provided to an already wealthy inventory of unique and original public parks. The project adds important new dimensions to the park with new amenities for passive recreation and education, expanded health and wellness opportunities with the expanded trail system and the potential for new revenue sources through programming of the new facilities.

The Eastside Project is the second phase of development for this 160-acre community park that is the central jewel of Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation’s park system. Residing in the middle of Central Park is the Monon Community Center, a 146,000-square-foot recreation facility that includes indoor aquatics, a water park, fitness center, gymnasium, KidZone (childcare) and program and meeting rooms.

The east side of the park activated more than 60 acres of largely undeveloped parkland for educationally-focused and passive activities. The project is set within the ecologically-sensitive woodland communities associated with Carmel Creek and its tributaries, and provides primitive

picnic and day camp groves, shelters, public toilets and parking areas carefully integrated into restored natural ecosystems. The expanded trail system, designed as a series of nature-inspired loops, includes the reuse of an abandoned interurban rail line, while creating a new northern nonmotorized park entry and link to adjacent businesses and restaurants. Carefully designed and placed, interpretive maps, signage and messages will also be located throughout the project to enhance educational opportunities for all ages, abilities and interests. As one approaches the park, the east entry drive has been enhanced with new signage, lighting and architectural elements to improve the park’s visibility and safety.

Once in the park, lanes have been narrowed, a roundabout intersection has been added and low-level lighting and architectural elements have been added to enhance the road as a scenic parkway.

For more information on the Eastside Project of Central Park, please visit www.carmelclayparks.com.

Technology Tools for awesome timeline covers LIFESTYLE

Technology by Ken Colburn

I’m trying to get a decent image uploaded to my Facebook Timeline, but it’s so wide nothing is fitting the way I want it to … any suggestions?

- Carey Facebook’s Timeline, which became mandatory for business pages on March 30 and will soon be mandatory for all users, allows you to upload a huge cover image that is essentially cropped to look like a panoramic image. The problem is important items in the There are a number of ways to deal with this crazy format besides the limited tool Facebook offers.

For more control over a single image, you can use the free web app from Aviary, which makes it simple to crop an existing image or one you upload.

If you want the cover photo to be your own pictures, the easiest way to fill the space is to create a collage so you aren’t trying to fill the space with a single image.

Most of the collage sites are pretty easy to use because they simply grab random images from your existing photo collection and stick them into preformatted templates.

Some of my favorites are www.thesitecanvas. com and www.picscatter.com.

If you want more control over which images get used, you can use sites like www.coverphoto-

magic.com and timelinecoverbanner.com.

If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, you can install a free app that allows you to create and upload the cover image from your mobile device using Facebook Cover Designer (search the App Store from your device to install it).

If you are looking for inspiration for that eye-catching Timeline banner presentation, a number of very creative people have uploaded some amazing and artistic cover images that can be found at goo.gl/y5oq3.

If you want to try to pull something that creative off, you can use try the easy-to-use templates at www.trickedouttimeline.com, or if you have Adobe’s Photoshop, you can pull off some pretty advanced tricks by combining your profile image with the theme of your cover image with a template I found at goo.gl/nlOeZ. Despite the uproar from those that don’t like the massive changes, Timeline is here to stay, so you may as well have fun with it!

If you are a business, you should really take some time to learn how Timeline works and how it is impacting how you engage with your fans.

Spirituality The wine, the cup and communion LIFESTYLE

Commentary by Bob Walters While writing a recent communion meditation, I discovered something in the Bible as obvious at is was startling: Wine is never mentioned as being in the cup of Christ.

This isn’t to argue whether in fact wine was served in the upper room at the Last Supper; it stands to reason it was. Nor am I here to argue the disciples drank blood; it stands to reason they did not. I was just surprised that for all the symbolism and tradition tied to the wine of communion representing the blood of Christ, the Bible never actually says “wine” describing that first communion.

At his last meal on the eve (Maundy Thursday) of his crucifixion (Good Friday), Jesus told his disciples he was “going away,” broke bread representing his body and passed the cup describing its contents as “my blood of the new covenant” (Matthew 26:28, Mark 14:24) or “the new covenant in my blood” (Luke 22:20, 1 Corinthians 11:25). Jesus told them henceforth to “do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19).

That remembrance of Jesus is what we celebrate in communion.

But, blood of the new covenant? What could that mean if it wasn’t literally blood? It stands to reason it meant this: Jewish law, tradition and

faith all said “life” existed in the blood (Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:11, etc.). The “new covenant” is the restored relationship of fallen mankind with a loving almighty God, of our faith in and salvation through Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of our sins covered by the shed blood of Christ. It’s our eternal presence in the infinite light of the Lord God. Blood of the new covenant means, “life forever, in faith.” These are just my words, and there are 2,000 years of theological descriptions and witness far better than mine. But if we look at the cup and see only the shed blood of Jesus on the cross, of pain, suffering, guilt, fear and the general turpitude of this mortal coil – of the misery of this human life – then we are missing the most important aspect of the cup of Christ.

In the new covenant, this cup is a cup of life, love and freedom, not death. It is a cup of hope and grace, not a threat. It is a gift, not a debt or a transaction.

The cup contains the life of Jesus Christ and our hope of eternal salvation.

And to that, I say, “Cheers!”

Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com, www.commonchristianity.blogspot. com) notes the irony that the first communion was at the Last Supper.

INSIDE & OUT

Around the home

Behind the scenes: Home tour Design by Vicky Earley

I believe when Charles Dickens wrote, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” he was deep in the throes of participating in a charity home tour.

We are participating in the Lost Run Farms “Homes of Distinction” home tour with just a couple of months left to complete the process.

I can say I have experienced and learned more from this process than from all the years of experience that came before.

I truly believe the secret to a successful beginning in a show home, fit for the world to judge, is recognizing it is a jigsaw puzzle where each and every piece has to be gingerly and thoughtfully placed.

The “plan” has to begin when the design staff can still walk between the support beams of the new construction. This is the point when decisions can be made without the urgency of the builder on the phone saying, “I need it today!”

The “plan” begins with an inspiration. This inspiration can be as simple as a fabric or a piece of art. From this mustard seed, an entire house will grow.

The skeleton of the “plan” is always comprised of constants. These are immovable and unchangeable constraints at the point of design ◆ WHAT: Homes of Distinction at Lost Run Farms ◆ WHEN: June 7-17; Thursdays and Sundays, noon to 5 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 7 p.m. ◆ WHERE: Lost Run Farm is located in Zionsville. From Ind. 421, turn west at the big American flag at Templin Road (121st Street). ◆ COST: Adults: $12; children 12 and younger: $6 ◆ INFO: www.homeofdistinction.com

firm entry. The style, floor plan and elevation of the structure were our major constants.

The “feel” of the house is embedded in these constants. A modern structure will not ask to be decorated with traditional furnishings and a Cape Cod look might feel awkward if forced to wear minimalist furnishings.

Inspiration can be a piece of art. It can be a breathtaking rug. Ours was a textile that offered a color palette complex enough to be interesting.

The palette supplies the extension of colors repeated in a variety of values to achieve flow and tempo in the décor.

With two months before the doors swing open for the world to view our months of imagining, testing, trying, scratching, starting, considering and implementing, we are beginning to see the picture in the puzzle come together.

I think even the most seasoned designer can be humbled and almost brought to its knees by the moment when the vision becomes reality. It is probably due to the enormity of a seed of a vision developing into a stunning 6,000-squarefeet structure … complete with every interior and exterior detail tended to.

The Skin You’re In Snakeskin is making a comeback on the fashion scene this season!

Snakeskin works on purses, belts, shoes, bags, and more. Snakeskin is best worn with solid colors, as it should only be an accent.

To avoid a fashion faux paux, don’t try to wear python head to toe.

Remember to be playful, this is a fun print and although it has a bohemian feel to it, it can also express glamour and style.

Pastels for Spring Looking for a way to add those perfect spring pastels without looking like an Easter egg? The key is to pick and choose pieces wisely. The perfect pairings are always achieved with a less-is-more attitude. Here are three of our favorite ways to add a pastel color to your wardrobe. · A fun statement necklace. Pick from a large coral pendant or a chunky resin piece in sea foam. · A leather clutch in any soft color can be the perfect way to spruce up your look, good for in the day or evening. · A watch with a pastel colored leather band is another way to go. Choose one with a gold face, which complements the light colors particularly well.

Enjoy!

Pink Is The New Black Substitute your staple ‘little black dress’ with a brighter version this spring. Go pink! Below are listed 10 simple ways to style your LPD for spring to help you get the most mileage out of this new trendy staple: 1. Be bold. Keep the look simple by pairing it with bold, solid colored accessories such as cerulean blue heels or an orange clutch.

2. Nab some neon. Contrast your LPD with an oversize Day-Glo bib necklace or a braided neon rope bracelet. Keep the rest of the outfit balanced by complementing it with neutral pieces such as nude flats.

3. Add some edge. Pink may be sweet, but it doesn’t mean you can’t make it a little sour. Offset the girly hue with a leather jacket and black booties.

4. Keep it sleek. Pull your hair into a high pony and accessorize with black pumps and an oversize black clutch for an understated take on chic sleek.

5. Dress it down. When the weekend calls, make it casual with neutral flats or sandals, an oversize cardigan and an unstructured bag.

6. Make it posh. Bring your LPD out for a night on the

town by wearing it with strappy heels and adorning it with a crystal brooch. If it’s chilly out, layer with a bouclé jacket.

7. Layer away. Top off the dress with a crewneck sweater and a sharp jacket for an eclectic, layered look.

8. Go boho. For a down-to-earth vibe, style it with a fringe-trimmed scarf, a cute jacket and a relaxed cross-body bag. Finish it off with scrunched boots or studded sandals.

9. Work it. Take your LPD to the office by pairing it with a blazer, a belt and simple pumps.

10. Get waisted. Add some structure to your LPD by cinching the waist with a belt.

By changing the silhouette, you can make it feel like an entirely new dress!

Outdoors

Retrofit, repurpose to the rescue Commentary by Randy Sorrell The art and appreciation of retrofit continues to grow. Initially, its popularity was economically driven. Happy homeowners wanted to improve their outdoor living space, but tight wallets didn’t allow for draining the bank account or tapping home equity lines.

Fashionable Now, after gobs of successful redone projects where original patios remained and added to, and society became comfortable with working with what we have, retrofits just seem both smart and fashionable. Lending credibility to the process is the burning trend of rescue/reuse/ recycle where forgotten chandeliers in the attic are repurposed as cool hanging light effects infused with candles, and once ugly peeling iron fence sections become historic features for climbing vines (done them both).

Sure, our industry thrives on ripping out everything, designing bright and shiny ultimate backyard retreats and installing them as a blank slate. But, not everyone or every home needs that. There is something very satisfying about “solutioneering” the old to something completely new and livable.

Landscape The featured picture is a perfect retrofit example. Mature spruce trees and stately boxwood

will remain in the landscape, but the tired creeping junipers and crimson pygmy barberries will be replaced, likely with something a little more refined for this elegant Carmel residence.

I can imagine a stately bed of pachysandra with a variegated hosta border for the shady area. A trio of pink hydrangea would offer prolonged flowering and nice fall color if we select the glowing embers variety.

Landscape retrofits are not always appropriate and can be more challenging than working with existing concrete patios, walks, porches, stone columns and other hardscape elements. Scale

is a major issue. With mature trees and shrubs remaining, newly planted items often don’t look visually appealing and seem out of place, even after years of growth.

The art of retrofit is similar to the art of luxurious outdoor living. It takes consideration, moderation and imagination to be successful.

Tile: Sure-footed shower floor luxury Remodeling by David Decker

Certain home construction materials in certain applications just naturally provide a secure, confident, luxurious feel, and it’s hard to explain exactly why.

I’d put stone tile shower flooring right at the top of that list.

Beautiful and spa-like, wet stone feels great underfoot. Specially cut and contoured, tile is the top choice when it comes to putting down a new shower floor.

What’s especially dramatic is the difference between standing on a new tile floor, and the old experience of standing in a fiberglass tub bottom or on the hard-painted finish of a tradition-

al cast iron bathtub. The first never feels quite solid, and the second can be dangerously slick.

And let’s mention the “up and over” step into a tub can be perilous, not to mention overly athletic, in the drowsy first moments of the day.

Customers routinely tell us it is the easy entry, solid feeling, no-slip excursion into an updated and redesigned shower that is the piece de resistance, the sensual highlight, of a custom bathroom improvement project. It’s no wonder shower/tub combinations are disappearing from master bathrooms in favor of larger, glass-enclosed or even European-style (no shower walls) units that make the bathroom a special, relaxing and cozy

sanctuary.

Tile shower flooring can be composed of ceramic, porcelain, glass or other materials beside stone. While standard flooring tiles can be slick when wet, shower flooring is typically contoured or treated to enhance traction. It also tends to be installed in smaller pieces to accommodate shaping for slope and drainage, and the smaller pieces mean more grout joints, which provide even more traction.

Professional installation is nearly a must because water is difficult to contain and persistently goes unwanted places creating mold, mildew and leak issues. Installed improperly, a tile shower floor is a permanent headache. Installed properly, a tile shower floor is a permanent luxury and a sure-footed good vibe.

David Decker is president of The Affordable Companies which provide affordable luxury in kitchens, bathrooms and flooring.

They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies. com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.
