Celebration’s goal is to educate

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com

On June 29, Carmel will again become a beacon of artistic and celebratory light as it pays tribute to four legends of the world of songbook entertainment.

The Center for the Performing Arts and the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative will honor the music and accomplishments of Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, Rita Moreno and Jimmy Webb as the 2013 inductees into the Songbook Hall of Fame. The ceremony will be the highlight of the 2013 Encore Celebration Gala Weekend, a two-night event which will begin on June 28 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in downtown Indianapolis.

There, patrons will be treated to a cocktail reception, dinner, dancing and a live and silent auction. On June 29, Carmel’s Palladium will host the Songbook Hall of Fame performance and induction ceremony.

“I’m very excited,” Michael Feinstein said. “It’s going to be an evening that is spectacular, amazing and unique!”

The multi-talented Feinstein is both founder of the Initiative and the Songbook ambassador. He also is the artistic director for the Center for the Performing Arts.

Speaking during a phone interview, Feinstein stressed the significance of recognizing the impact and the contributions of the honorees.

“The music is such an important part of our history, part of our culture. The contributions of the artists are incalculable. We want people to understand how important and how special this is to the fabric of our lives,” he said.

This year’s gala marks the second annual Songbook Hall of Fame. The 2012 inductees and honorees included Cole Porter, Alan and Marilyn Bergman and Barry Manilow. Like the 2012 awards, this year’s ceremony also will feature musical performances and tributes to the honorees.

“We will have two sets of celebrities,” said John Hughey, the director of external relations for the Center, “those who are honoring and those who are being honored.”

The list of performers includes Jimmy Smits, Tom Wopat, Jose Feliciano and from TV’s “Smash,” Megan Hilty.

“This is not going to be a typical concert,” Hughey

ON THE WEB The easy route

Spirituality columnist Bob Walters worries that “we take the easy route: go with the flow, live and let live, don’t judge. We subordinate the divine perspective of scripture to our human perspective of lust, power, greed, sloth, ego, style and self-expression” while only occasionally tripping over honor, courage and love

DISPATCHES Car wash – The Carmel High School Marching Band Car Wash will be June 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the west parking lot of the high school at Main Street and 4th Avenue. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased on the day of the event or in advance from any Marching Band member.

Members of the Carmel Marching Greyhounds will be at various local grocery stores to sell car wash tickets. The popular car wash raises funds to supplement the marching band program at Carmel High School, including the Marching Band’s January 2014 participation in the Tournament of Roses Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif.

Last year, more than 2,200 tickets were sold.

For more information, contact Joe Tauber at jjtauber@sbcglobal.net.

said. “It will be an event like the Oscars or the Tonys.

The show is being produced by Robert C. Pullen, who also works on the Kennedy Center Honors.

There also is going to be an after party with three clubs playing music for dancing. One club will be playing only Sinatra songs.”

Yet, amidst the glamour and the celebration, there remains an underlying commitment to the Initiative’s goal: education.

“The arts have been devalued,” Feinstein said. “We are fortunate here in Carmel to have such strong arts education programs. That is unique. It is fundamentally important for our quality of life. The more arts we have in education, the better learners we have.”

Hughey also acknowledged the educational aspect.

“We hope people leave with a better understanding, better appreciation of Sinatra, Minnelli, Moreno and Webb, their careers, and their contributions to pop culture, to music and to the songbook,” he said.

For Feinstein, there are similar hopes.

“I want people to take away the realization that music stays alive because of the individuals who care about it and the significance of keeping it alive,” Feinstein said. “We want to encourage people to come and check out what we have. The more people that know, the better.”

House fire – A house at 1051 Chevy Chase Lane, which is west of College Avenue between 106th and 103rd streets, suffered around $60,000 in damages in a June 17 fire. Firefighters responded to the fire in the single-story ranch house around 3:40 a.m. Firefighters stated in a news release that they believe the fire possibly started in the home’s attic due to an electrical wiring problem. Two occupants in the home were awakened by a dog and escaped the fire without injury, according to firefighters.

Blood drive – The Tri Kappa Blood Drive will be June 29 from 8 a.m. to noon when the Bloodmobile will be parked in the circle drive in front of the west door of the Palladium, just off of 3rd Street SW and just south of City Center Drive.

There will be ample parking in the Tarkington parking garage, and the entire process takes about an hour. In addition, blood donors and other interested people will be able to register to be bone marrow donors. For more information about the blood donation process, visit www.indianablood.org. Tri-Kappa is a women’s philanthropic organization with chapters throughout the state.

Freedom run – Register now for the Fourth of July 2013 Freedom Run at CarmelFest. The 4.5 mile run and 1.5 mile walk starts and finishes at Carmel High School. The event starts at 8 a.m. and all entrants receive a T-shirt and the first 1,000 finishers receive a tumbler. The first course of the race, the parade route, is flat and fast, there also is a free kids fun run, and chocolate milk will be served at the finish line. Contestants are urged to wear red white and blue for the costume contest. To register, visit tuxbro.com.

Old testament ways Since Andy Ray can’t keep some people from biblically justifying their discrimination against homosexuals, he’s decided to simply give up and join their ranks. This means he’ll limit his understanding of marriage to Old Testament passages and will have to also believe (and act on) the other 613 ancient Jewish laws expressed in the first five books of the Old Testament.

DVD Review

Christopher Lloyd is not sure what’s harder to watch: a movie that starts out well and then collapses or a film that never had any idea how to be good in the first place. That’s the case with “The Call,” a tightly-coiled thriller that is really suspenseful through the first two acts and then rolls off a cliff during the last half-hour.

What’s next for vacant building?

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Now that Shapiro’s Delicatessen, 918 S. Range Line Rd., officially has closed its doors, questions surround both the government potential future uses of the building as well as the complicated deal between Shapiro’s company, BJS, LLC and the City of Carmel.

Who owns the building?

Following the paper trail of the leasing arrangements of the building at 918 S. Range Line Rd. (referred to as “Parcel 10” in public documents) has proven to be extraordinarily complex.

Ryan Wilmering, attorney for the City of Carmel, explained how the leasing of the building was arranged: The real estate originally was owned by BJS. BJS leased the real estate to BJS II, LLC (also a Shapiro’s entity) and BJS II in turn subleased the real estate to Shapiro’s Carmel, Inc. In June, 2010, when BJS II assigned all of its interests in the lease and the sublease to the CRC, the CRC became both the tenant and the sublandlord. At that time, Shapiro’s Carmel was to have begun making rent payments in the amount of $1,000 per month to the CRC. Under that lease agreement, BJS (which still retained a 98-percent ownership of the building) was obligated to pay the real estate taxes on the building. However, records show that as of May 2012, the CRC has been paying the real estate taxes ($27,448 annually) to avoid a tax

The CRC will soon own this building and all its contents. (File photo)

lien on the property. Simultaneously, Shapiro’s Carmel fell behind on rent payments, and now is $79,000 in arrears to the CRC in rent.

On June 5, a holdover possession agreement was executed between Brian Shapiro (and all of his business entities) and the CRC, in which Shapiro agreed to cease operations by June 15. It further states that all kitchen, building and operating equipment become the property of the CRC. According to Mayor Jim Brainard, Shapiro and his entities are in the process of deeding all of their interests in the property to the CRC and Shapiro personally guaranteed the debt.

So now what?

In essence, the city now owns a two-story, 9,300-square-foot, fully furnished restaurant. According to Brainard, the city has had it appraised and is now exploring options to either sell or rent the building and its contents.

“Several parties have already expressed interest,” Brainard said. “Among them, a large, local restaurant chain and a real estate investor. We don’t anticipate that the building will be vacant for long.”

Much ado about a bike rack

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Reader questions have arisen of late about both the price and the whereabouts of the carshaped bike rack that was government purchased by the Community Relations Commission for the Arts & Design District.

The bike rack was purchased in June of last year from a London-based company, Cyclehoop.

The purchase price, including shipping, was 4830 pounds, which converted to $7,760.36 at the time of purchase, according to the invoice. The bike

rack was selected for both form and function, as its unique design makes it a useful piece of art in keeping with the overall theme of the Arts and Design District, according to the commission.

A ribbon cutting was held last month on Bike to Work day, but the bike rack was then put into storage while a portion of Main Street was being repaved, and while bollards were installed on the side street to protect it from vehicles.

The bike rack now is back in place and in use on the southside of Bub’s Burgers on Main Street.

What happened: Council members discussed the recent closing of Shapiro’s Delicatessen.

What it means: Council president Rick Sharp expressed regret that Shapiro’s had closed its Carmel location and offered his thanks to the Shapiro family for their years of serving the Carmel city council community. Council persons Sharp, Luci Snyder and Carol Schleif all wore Shapiro’s buttons, and each claimed to have eaten the last corned beef sandwich at Shapiro’s Carmel. City Clerk Treasurer Diana Cordray trumped them all by announcing that she had Shapiro’s corned beef in her freezer and would ultimately have the last sandwich.

What happend: Lisa Grove came before the council to express her deep concern about unmarked electrical fences.

What it means: Grove’s son was badly shocked on a neighbor’s fence. Sharp had previously sponsored a proposed ordinance addressing this issue. In the last meeting, it was approved 6-0, but Mayor Jim Brainard refused to sign it, issuing a “pocket veto” because he disagreed with certain language contained within the ordinance. Snyder also asked for clarification on several points. These concerns were addressed while the meeting was still in session, with Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider expressing concern about the fact that “razor fences” were still allowable under the language of the ordinance. In the interest of passing the current ordinance, it was agreed that the issue of razor fences would be addressed in the future. No new installation of barbed wire, razor wire or electric fencing is allowed within three feet of any street, sidewalk, alley or other public way within the city’s What’s next: Ordinance corporate limits. All existing electric fences within the city’s corporate limits D-2135-13 was passed will be required to have double-faced warning signs every 100 feet. Underand will take effect. ground pet containment systems are exempt from this ordinance.

What happened: Kathy Wallace came before the council with photocopies of consulting invoices from Les Olds’ company.

What it means: Wallace is disputing the validity and even the legality of paying Olds’ invoices, as she claims that Olds’ corporation had already been dissolved at the time the invoices were generated. She further claims that the contract to retain his services was not fully executed as it was missing a signature.

What’s next: There was no comment by any council person after Wallace voiced her concerns.

What happened: Council appointments What it means: The four-year term of Jim Henner of the Carmel-Clay Public Library Board was due to expire on June 17.

What’s next: It was moved and approved to renew his appointment for another four years.

Divorce – What To Expect: Controlled Expenses In Indiana in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties (typically the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are based on the concept that one parent undertakes paying for the primary costs of the child(ren); therefore, that parent “controls” the children’s expenses and receives support to assist with these costs.

Who pays these costs? In any matter where child support is exchanged, the child support payee, or support recipient, is responsible for the child(ren)’s “controlled expenses.” For example, the custodial parent buys a winter coat for the child. The noncustodial parent will not be obligated buy another one and the coat will travel back and forth to both residences. In general, these controlled expenses account for 15% of the cost of raising the child and are factored in the calculation of support accordingly.

Along those lines, the more time the parents share, the more expenses are duplicated and transferred, and are thereby “shared” under the child support calculation and are balanced through the parenting time credit.

Alternatively, transferred or duplicated expenses are incurred by both parents.

Expenses such as food and transportation are incurred by both parents during the periods the children are with them and “transfer” between the parents. Similarly, duplicated expenses arise as a necessary part of maintaining two households for the child(ren), such as the costs of the residences themselves, which are not transferred when the child(ren) move(s) from one parent’s residence to the other. These costs/expenses

remain fixed in each parent’s household and, accordingly, are considered “duplicated” expenditures.

What are controlled expenses? Controlled expenses for the child(ren) are not those which are typically transferred or duplicated between households.

Unlike transferred or duplicated expenses, controlled expenses are items like clothing, education, school books and supplies, ordinary uninsured health care and personal care. Unfortunately, there is no exhaustive or comprehensive list. The controlled expenses are those fixed expenses of the parent who is (generally) receiving child support under the Indiana Child Support Guidelines.

Controlled expenses are generally not a consideration unless there is equal parenting time. The Guidelines also note that these categories of expenses are not pertinent for litigation. They are presented only to explain the factors used in developing the parenting time credit formula. In reality, it is not uncommon for disagreements to occur regarding the controlled expenses, for instance, in both definition and application of any provisions needed to assign these costs to one parent or the other. If you find yourself in such a situation, you would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel in reaching a resolution to the issue at hand.

Go FishIN in the city

By Mary Allgier • news@currentincarmel.com

This summer, Carmel Parks and Recreation and the Indiana DNR want you to go fish.

The Indiana Dept. of Natural RePARKS sources launched a statewide program this year called Go FishIN in the city that provides shore fishing opportunities for Hoosiers in urban areas.

Meadowlark Park, located just northwest of downtown Carmel, is Carmel’s Go FIshIN in the City location and will be stocked with channel catfish throughout the summer “Their goal with this program is to see what the needs are in the Carmel area and then bring the fish to us,” Lindsay Labas, marketing manager for Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation, said.

Labas said Carmel Parks and Recreation has worked with the Indiana DNR and Aquatic Control for a while to maintain three fisheries in Carmel: Central Park, West Park and Meadow Lark.

Since Central and West Park are more frequently used, Meadow Lark was chosen to encourage more use of the pond.

According to Sandy Clark-Kolaks, a fisheries biologist with the DNR, channel catfish are brought to ponds in nine cities across Indiana.

“Catfish are just really easy to raise, easy to catch, you don’t need special equipment to catch them, and they taste great. So it’s kind of a winwin situation,” Clark-Kolaks said. “All the lakes have Blue gill and bass already that are naturally

reproducing.”

The catfish that are coming into Meadow Lark actually spent the winter at the Terre Haute Federal Penitentiary.

“It’s kind of a rehabilitation program,” ClarkKolaks said. “They have an indoor aquaculture center so they can get the fish to grow through the winter.”

Clark-Kolaks also said the goal of Go FishIN in the City was to encourage fishing as a stress reliever and to provide fishing opportunities that are close to home.

GoFishIN in the city was started this year, but Carmel Parks and Recreation has been working with the DNR and Aquatic Control on Central Park, West Park and Meadow Lark ponds for some time.

The DNR handles fish and vegetation mostly, and Aquatic Control combats algae and pesky weeds.

“They (DNR) conduct an initial survey to see what species are present in the ponds and then which ones we can add to the pond to give more of an opportunity for someone to catch a goodsized fish and add more variety to the pond,” Labas said.

Throughout the summer, representatives from DNR will be at Meadow Lark conducting surveys to better understand anglers’ needs.

“We appreciate people stopping to do this survey,” Clark-Kolaks added.

Department’s accreditation pending

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Fire Dept. recently has received a favorable recommendation in its final evaluation in the accreditation process by the safety Center for Public Safety Excellence.

This evaluation was the final step in a rigorous certification process that has taken place throughout the course of several years.

Criteria which must be met for accreditation include creating a five-year strategic plan which ensures that the department has: • Identified hazards

• Ensured that response capabilities match those hazards, including measured response times • Properly distributed equipment to handle hazards • Completed disaster preparedness plans and training Per Fire Chief Matthew Hoffman, the final accreditation will be granted in August, and the Carmel Fire Dept. will be one of only three fire agencies in the state of Indiana to hold this designation.

Local fireworks law trump state’s laws It’s that time of year again when fireworks stands are popping up all around the place. But before you plan a festive weekend fourth that includes fireworks in your backyard, here’s a reminder of the law in Carmel regarding non-holiday fireworks.

Per a city noise ordinance passed in 2009, consumer fireworks are only allowed at the following dates and times: • June 29 to July 9 (5 p.m. – midnight) • On July 4 hours are extended to 10 a.m. to midnight

• New Year’s (10 a.m. on Dec 31 to 1 a.m. on Jan 1 It is important for Carmel residents to note that this city ordinance overrides Indiana state law which allows fireworks any day between 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Per a statement from the Mayor’s office, citizens who are in the vicinity of fireworks used in violation of this noise ordinance are advised to call the police.

As always, fireworks will be displayed on July 4th as the finale to the two-day CarmelFest celebration, organized by the Rotary Club of Carmel.

“It is an easy way for families to bring some culture into their lives, not a huge commitment and very fun,” Albrecht said.

Spending time with the French student helps not only the French student learn more about the United States but also the host to take a closer look at the French culture. Whether it is traveling or eating dinner, the learning can be reciprocated for the entire three weeks.

Although the LEC program is not an exchange program, many host families from Carmel have visited their student’s family in France due to the long-lasting bond.

CHS band needs to wash your car Commentary by Jeff Worrell

I rounded the corner and pulled into the parking lot on the west side of Carmel High School and was imphilanthropy mediately surrounded by thousands of shiny clear soap bubbles floating lazily in the air. They created a calm, dream-like atmosphere which indicated something very clean was going on. A Drum Major in a crisp white uniform with the tall, furry hat and CHS emblazoned across his chest demanded my attention. He blew a whistle three times and my car was immediately surrounded by the Marching Greyhounds; instruments in hand.

To my amazement, the saxophones started spraying soapy, crystal clean Carmel water on my car. The trombones high step in, using their slides to wash back and forth every inch of the car in sync with each musical note. Summoned by the Drum Major, fifteen tubas line up on both sides and use the low notes to blow-dry my car to spotless perfection. It was as if I was at a car wash completely run by a marching band.

The noxious, irritatingly loud bleating of my alarm clock rousted me from a deep sleep. I realized quickly I must have been dreaming.

Saxophones don’t spray water and tubas cannot dry a car. But, I was awake enough to realize the Carmel Marching Greyhounds do know how to

offer a pretty darn good car wash for an unbelievably low price.

On June 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., you can get your very own version of a Carmel Marching Greyhound car wash. Tickets are only $10 and it is an annual tradition which this year, has added significance. By letting band kids sparkelize your vehicular pride and joy, you also will help them get to the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, Calif., this fall. Imagine the pride you will feel knowing you helped when you hear Matt Lauer or Al Roker on TV say, “Next up from Carmel, Indiana, The Marching Greyhounds!”

No, this is not a dream. Our very own Greyhounds will be a featured band in the Rose Bowl Parade. Because of this, they need to raise a significant amount of money to pay for travel, lodging and meals. You will be seeing much more of them in the coming weeks as 250 band kids and their parent volunteers execute their fundraising strategy.

I hope you will join me and swing by the Carmel High School parking lot this Saturday for a car wash experience of which you might otherwise only dream about.

Dr. Stephen Tegarden, on an interim basis, leads Carmel Clay Schools a second time Dr. Stephen Tegarden sat at the Carmel Clay Schools superintendent’s desk from 1993 to 2000 and is sitting there again until the school system can find a permanent replacement for the position. (Photo by Jillyann Burns)

By Chris Bavender • chris@yoaurecurrent.com Dr. Stephen Tegarden wasn’t looking for a job when he was approached by the Carmel Clay School Board of cover story Trustees to act as interim superintendent.

“I told them I’d at least meet with them to see what they had in mind and where it might fit with my retirement,” Tegarden said. “Once I did, I felt they were headed in the right direction with their search (for a full-time superintendent) and thought it would be a good fit.”

A fit Tegarden is comfortable with. From 1993 to 2000 he was superintendent for the school system. He retired in 2000 but soon found himself back in the role on an interim basis with Washington Township after the departure of Dr. Eugene White.

“There are professional interim superintendents, but it wasn’t a role I was seeking or had really thought about before,” Tegarden said. “But, I found I really enjoyed the role and was there for about six months and then went back to retirement.”

He was invited to act as interim for a few other school districts but declined. When Hamilton Southeastern offered him an interim slot he initially turned it down but offered to help with the superintendent search. However, he soon found himself stepping in as interim for eight months.

“Then I went back to retirement. We had a bed and breakfast inn in Chatham Arch in downtown Indy but we sold that least year, and I was really

retired this time so I felt the Carmel job would be a good way to spend a bit of it for a few months,” he said.

For the school board members, the decision to hire Tegarden wasn’t difficult.

“During the seven years he was here he achieved a good balance in the district and had good achievements and that interested us. And, in addition, the fact he had served as an interim

decided “we had some really talented people but not the one who would be the best leader for our district,” according to Hackett.

The board is exploring its next steps in the new superintendent search and will update the community via its website as details emerge.

“We are looking for someone who is a student centered leader – students must come first.

They also need to be a team builder – not just a

“During the seven years he was here he achieved a good balance in the district and had good achievements and that interested us.”

and helped in the search process, was the best of both worlds,” said Tricia Hackett, CCS board member. “Also, he is just a personable guy. He is trustworthy and willing to talk to a variety of people and the board just feels that will bring confidence to our district during this time.”

Tegarden will work with the board and BWP & Associates to find CCS’ next superintendent. A search initiated last January yielded three finalists out of 21 candidates but trustees ultimately

strong leader themselves but know how to recognize and bring in ideas from constituents,” she said. “Also, someone who is an effective manager and knows how to balance students, curriculum, families, etc – all with decreased funding.”

Tegarden also has a keen eye for what will make someone a good candidate.

“I think there are starter jobs – where someone has been an outstanding assistant superintendent for a few years in a small district and

there are places for those people for their first superintendency,” Tegarden said in describing the best candidate. “But, a district like Carmel, with all the issues they are dealing with and the expertise and involvement of the community – they really need a veteran.”

Tegarden, who started as interim June 10, will be paid $650 per day.

“That is what he charged four to five years ago at the other school districts and that $650 doesn’t include health benefits, life insurance, vacation pay, etc. It is pro-rated and he won’t be paid for days he doesn’t work,” Hackett said. “I think given his love for the district and his experience, we are getting our bang for our buck.”

One thing that has changed since Tegarden left CCS is school security – with lockdown drills a common occurrence.

“I left before 9/11 and things have changed dramatically in the way we respond to information we receive or threats that might come in so I am sure this is something I will review with staff as exactly what procedures and responses are in place,” Tegarden said. “I remember going to Carmel High School and having a very emotional meeting with a large group of students following Columbine – that incident changed the way everybody looked at going to school. And now, of course we are dealing with the aftermath of Sandy Hook. So, there is just no way you can say we will never have another incident like that and no way you can say we have a system in place that would absolutely keep that from happening so all you can do is be prepared.”

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP City prepared for red, white & BOOM!

Good for the goose It is our position that federal government employees should not be exempt from inclusion in health care coverage mandates under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Isn’t it interesting that Congress has exempted the country’s largest employer, the Federal Government – which includes themselves – in complying with 20,000 pages of new health care regulations, mostly comprised by politicians and tax attorneys.

All lead by none other than the scandalridden Internal Revenue Service who will be managing State Exchanges, i.e. the health plan clearing houses for uninsured individuals seeking health care plans. Already, employers are dropping coverage altogether in lieu of paying the “tax” and deferring employees to the exchanges to save costs, as evidenced by thousands of part-time workers being dealt with decreasing hours. In the world of economics, “There is no such thing as a free lunch.”

However, not all members of Congress feel they should be exempt, which is why bill H.R. 1780 has been introduced to provide that the only health plans the Federal Government may make available to ALL of its employees are those created under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or offered through a health insurance exchange. What’s good for the goose, should be legally mandated for the gander.

Lead a horse to water Commentary by Terry Anker They say you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. As we mature in our abilities to lead others, it becomes abundantly clear that getting folks to take note of opportunity is only, at best, half the battle. In fact, identifying prospects is costly and labor intensive; and, failure to convert those prospects, once discovered, actually could put us in a worse place than if the potential had never been uncovered. Finding the water and getting the horse to it without having a plan to get it to drink only serves as an expensive distraction for us and an annoyance for the equine.

We routinely develop employee skills through internal training, a regular reading list and outside training and support. The Hamilton County Leadership Academy is a highly effective (and affordable) form of on-going personal development.

Organizers call the year-long, monthly classes “a leadership program that identifies and prepares informed leaders for our community. Program

participants are brought together by their commitment of time, energy and expertise and their desire to be involved in Hamilton County.” In my experience, it motivates emerging leaders within our companies by exposing them to the best of their peers – and the networks built are good for business.

This year, the good folks at HCLA have asked me to proctor the class. While I am honored personally to have the chance to work with this group, I am tasked to make sure that 2013-14 is a standout year.

Available to Hamilton County residents or those with business or civic activities within the community. The deadline is June 30 for applying at www.hcla.net or to Jill Doyle at jdoyle@hcla. net or 379-1879.

If you haven’t circled July 3 and 4 on your calendar for CarmelFest 2013, the city’s 25th celebration of our nation’s independence, we urge you to do so now.

Under the direction of Chairman Jeff Worrell and his legions of dedicated volunteers, the Carmel Rotary Club event is as Americana as it gets. The Greatest Festival in Indiana, celebrating Silver Jubilation this edition, kicks off at 4 p.m. on July 3, with live music, food vendors, kids’ activities and much more. The first day culminates with, among other offerings, a three-hour concert by The Wright Brothers, whose members include Carmel residents Tim Wright and John McDowell. On July 4, the always-packed St.Vincent Health Fourth of July Parade at CarmelFest rolls at 10:30 a.m. Stake your viewing spot early, as this spectacle is an annual crowd pleaser. This year’s parade grand marshals are CarmelFest founders Dottie Hancock, formerly a Carmel mayor, and Nancy Blondin, the former leader of the Carmel Clay Chamber of Commerce. It’s a fitting honor for these leading ladies.

After the parade, move along to Civic Square, where the festival resumes at noon with a wide variety of entertainment and activities. The event culminates in grand style with a stirring performance of patriotic music at 8:30 p.m. by the Carmel Symphony Orchestra and the best fireworks show around at 9:45 p.m. About those fireworks: You might recall Worrell and everyone’s favorite volunteer, Jack Badger, have been busy raising funds to finance the effort through the sale of Spark Buttons, which are for sale at the Carmel Farmers Market and on www.carmelfest. net. Lighted buttons are $6, regular buttons $3. We encourage you to buy, and when they paint the sky you may think to yourself, Hey, I helped to pay for that one! You may learn more about CarmelFest 2013 in next week’s similarly titled special section in Current.

Happy with the compromise

Editor, I just wanted to commend the city of Carmel, Mayor Jim Brainard and the people at Detour for reaching a compromise so Detour can host their July 4th party. No matter which side you were on, we can all agree that we need activity and entertainment in the district and Detour plays a huge part in that.

While many storefronts throughout the district remain vacant, Detour has embraced the area and brought droves of people, which has helped nearby businesses. I’ve heard many business owners tell me – many of whom are in direct competition with Detour – that their sales have increased since they opened.

One thing that worries me is the constant talk of making sure the area doesn’t become “another Broad Ripple.” In my opinion, Massachu-

setts Avenue is a better example of what the Carmel Arts & Design District could be. Mass Ave has art galleries, theaters, critically acclaimed restaurants and, yes, they also have bars that stay open late.

We all have to work together to make this area great. Personally, we’d love to see more street festivals and a return of Rock the District. I know there has been issues with street closures, vendors and the such, but it would be awesome if we could work to improve these events and fix any problems instead of just not doing them.

We are proud to be a part of the district and we just hope see more examples of cooperation like this so the area can become all it can be.

Schools take safety seriously

Editor, I missed the story that Mr. Dobson referred to in his letter of May 29 (lockdown drills at Carmel Elementary), but I am familiar with these exercises.

The afternoon of “Sandy Hook,”, Carmel Elementary’s principal e-mailed detailing its security practices, including the drills.

Mind you, I’m one who rails against the security theater that this country has embarked upon since Sept. 11, 2001. But with a son in that

school, barely able to keep my composure that day, thinking of all the children in Connecticut, I was incredibly gladdened by that email. I know that our city’s schools take our children’s safety seriously and have the utmost gratitude for that fact.

And, the idiots in Congress can’t even pass common sense legislation about background checks at gun shows. How many more must die?

Sincerely, David M. Concannon, 46032

AUTISM CLINIC OF INDIANA

New hope for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans Accepted Genetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing “While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments.

Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having difficulty making friends?

• IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions?

• FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home?

• HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep?

• ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions?

If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing.

Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.”

Continue to improve our paths Commentary by Matthew Douglass

I understand the Carmel Land Use and Annexation Committee and the Carmel City Council are considering revisions to the Carmel Clay Comprehensive Plan, including opinion the Thoroughfare Plan and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Plan. Under consideration are reductions in bike and pedestrian facilities from the current plan. As a resident who brought his family here five years ago largely because of the growing multi-use paths, I would like to encourage the planners to continue the development of vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian and mass transportation called for in the Comprehensive Plan. There is a groundswell of demand, here and nationwide, for bicycle, pedestrian and mass transportation. People want multi-use trails and ways to connect to other communities. Carmel has a strong start and one of the most forward-thinking Comprehensive Plans, but must continue on the current path to be the community we want for ourselves and our children in the future.

We picked a home at 116th Street and the Monon Trail because it was connected by both north-south and east-west multi-use paths.

Now, we often walk to the Monon Center, to the farmers market, and to restaurants in the City Center and the Arts District. We bike north to Clay Terrace, Greyhound Pass and other shop-

ping. I commute south to work in Indianapolis by bicycle most days, even in winter. I sometimes ride east to the White River and can easily ride to Fishers, all safely within trails and bike lanes.

My 11-year-old son and I have found and explored virtually every Carmel park and playground by bicycle.

But many of our neighborhoods are not yet connected by east-west or north-south paths.

The western half of Carmel lags far behind in trail connectedness. The roads to West Park are way too busy and narrow for my son and I to bike there. There is no good way to ride to Zionsville, Keystone at the Crossing or Castleton Square. It is very difficult to cross Meridian by bicycle or on foot. Big roads are big barriers to foot and bike travel; sometimes one path on one side is not enough.

The Carmel Clay Thoroughfare and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Plans solve these problems and continue Carmel’s progress to be the community we want for ourselves and for our children in the future. I urge the Land Use and Annexation Committee and the city council not to reduce pedestrian or bicycle facilities but rather to move ahead with the plans as written and give the greatest consideration possible to improving our walking and bicycling.

I cannot believe that so few women got worked up about my column on pornography!

Granted, my editor cut a few key humor phrases that involved a search engine and the female anatomy, but still, I’d hoped to elicit a little more backlash.

Maybe I’ll have more luck with this one.

Why does divorce still have such a stigma attached to it? In this day and age, why do people still whisper the word like it’s some communicable disease? Let’s get real here.

Sometimes two people fall out of love. Sometimes they should have never gotten married to begin with. And sometimes circumstances arise that completely change the playing field. During the last year, I’ve watched two close friends go through divorces, and though they’ve each struggled, I personally applaud their choices to call it quits. Frankly, I was tired of always hearing of their misery and frustrated that they weren’t doing anything about it.

Were these tough decisions? Certainly. Especially when children are involved, divorce is not a matter to be taken lightly. But after years of counseling and continued unhappiness, both had reached their breaking points. Neither of their marriages was going to get better, so why spend another moment feeling angry and bitter and subjecting their children to an unhealthy relationship? Now, at least they have the oppor-

tunity to find love again, to be happy again, and their kids can see Mommy and Daddy actually getting along. Hopefully.

And I know this isn’t true in all divorces, and maybe not even in most, but for both of my friends, their communication and interaction with their ex-husbands is the best it has been in a long time. They are doing fantastic jobs of coparenting and of helping their kids understand that divorce is a good thing for their families.

Will everyone need counseling? Yes. Are the children struggling? Yes. But in my humble opinion, if a couple decides that its family will be better off through divorce, then it really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Naysayers need to shut up and start being supportive. And for Pete’s sake, they need to stop bringing up religion. Divorcees experience enough guilt without supposed loved ones reminding them about their commitment before God. Part of what makes us human is our propensity to make mistakes. God understands that, so why can’t we?

Divorce is never ideal, but in a less-than-ideal world, I think it should at least be a valid and respectable option.

Peace out.

Retiring minds want to know Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My wife was confident that her retirement would be an easy transition to make. One day she would be hard at work at the humor office; then suddenly, she wouldn’t be. Simple as that. But for the first half of June, she kept asking me what day of the week it was, and when I went back in the bedroom one morning while she was still sleeping, she opened her eyes and asked me if I had an appointment.

Our first vacation to celebrate her retirement was to South Carolina for a look at historic Charleston. We always have great guides, but my problem is that I can never remember anything they tell me. But when I hear something interesting like: “The slaves were instructed to whistle while transporting the master’s dinner from the kitchen to the dining room, to ensure they didn’t sample the food,” well, I’ll never forget that little tidbit.

At one self-guided tour site, we placed headphones on and hung a recording device around our necks. We were then directed to the first room of this celebrated home of someone whose name I don’t remember who did something I never heard of. But the real problem was that my wife and I did not push our start buttons at exactly the same time. The result was that when her headset was telling her to look up at

a 200-year-old chandelier, mine was instructing me to behold the magnificent original carpeting. Seeing me look down, Mary Ellen thought I was uninterested and kept poking me to pay attention. Of course, I thought she was just in a daze looking up at the ceiling, so we were both wondering why we paid 40 bucks apiece to be totally bored.

The other problem with the tape was that they tried to time the narration with what was a normal person’s speed of walking, so it was only after I fell down three steps and crashed into a mahogany credenza that I was cautioned to “Watch my step.” At one point I turned the wrong way in a corridor and bumped into Mary Ellen. The audio was telling me that what I was looking at was a true original but was in need of some restoration. I never told my wife why I was laughing.

We are back home now and Mary Ellen is enjoying her leisure time. She’s even started cooking again. The other night she prepared a delicious meal and asked me if I would mind carrying the dish out to our back porch. I was happy to oblige, but I wish she hadn’t made me whistle.

Members of the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will close out their season with “A Legend of Eternal Love” June 28 and 29 in the Center for the Performing Arts Tarkington Theatre. (Submitted photos)

Intimate setting heightens dance’s impact

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Performing arts groups enjoy bringing back well-received works from their repertoire, and the Gregory Hancock Dance Dance Theatre has a particularly good excuse for making “A Legend of Eternal Love” the centerpiece of its seasonending program June 28 and 29.

The enduring love story seems right for a space more intimate than where it premiered a few years ago: Pike Performing Arts Center. The troupe is now one of the resident companies of the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, and the Tarkington allows the audience to feel closer to the tale of Shah Jehan, a 17th-century Muslim emperor of the Mughal dynasty who built the world-famous Taj Mahal (in Agra, India) as a memorial to his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Hancock’s vision of this ennobling story involves an artistic vision that fuses choreography with apt costumes and jewelry.

“Those details can be appreciated a lot more,” he said, “in a more intimate venue.”

Also getting a new theatrical setting is the company’s revival of another love story from India: “Devdas,” the story of childhood sweethearts whose reunion after a long separation comes too late for them to find fulfillment. It shares a tragic cast with “A Legend of Eternal Love,” but without its uplifting outcome, where the emperor and his beloved are “reunited in spirit,” Hancock said.

A new work that suits Hancock’s theme joins those two story ballets. “Fire of Love,” set to Iranian music, involves two couples.

“One is wearing traditional clothing,” Hancock said, “and the other couple is more bare. It’s all about imagery and a little bit of the clash of cultures (within Islamic societies).”

Hancock said that his wish is not to disdain traditional Islamic dress, such as the burqa — styles that sometimes seem repressive to Western eyes.

“You can be covered up and be beautiful and a little more exposed, and that can be beautiful, too,” he said. “I see this contrast as the starting point for people to talk about why people are dressed this way.”

Natalee Cooney, a six-season veteran of GHDT, is one of four dancers in “Fire of Love.” Her challenge is to create the role of the woman in the burqa.

“How do I identify as an artist and as a woman with that woman?” is the question Cooney says she has posed to herself.

She said that Hancock’s choreography both reflects the limitations of this maximally covering garment and projects the beauty of movement enhanced by the burqa. The two women “have complementary steps and movements,”

Cooney added, so must work out how each interprets her role.

“As a Western woman who doesn’t have that knowledge, this has been a opportunity to educate myself,” Cooney said.

Control and confidence about moving in space are vital to a dancer, so a confining costume can also present a steep learning curve.

“It’s definitely a challenge,” Cooney said.

“Some peripheral vision is lost, and if you’ve seen (Hancock’s) pieces before, the movement is very fluid and athletic. There are some movements that are static and subtle, but I’m moving a lot in this piece. I have to rely on my male partner (Phillip Crawshaw), and he’s great!”

Performances are at 7 p.m. June 28 and 29 at the Tarkington, Center for the Performing Arts, 3 Center Green, Carmel. For tickets, call (317) 843-3800 or go online at www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Summer movies at family prices

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com

As the summer months (and temperatures) reach a fever pitch, what are parents to do when the weather is too hot or the rain just Theater won’t stop? Well, one choice might be to check out the local movie theatres. There, parents will find cinematic alternatives, not to mention a respite from the heat and a plan B for rainy days.

At the Hamilton 16 IMAX, 13825 Norell Rd., Noblesville, the $1 Kids Summer Movies offerings began June 10. Advertised as “Nine Weeks, Nine Movies,” the family-friendly films are shown Monday through Friday at 10 a.m.

“The attendance has been outstanding,” said Hamilton 16 General Manager Mitch Ross of the response to the program. “Goodrich has done this now for the last six or seven years. For the first two years, no other theaters were doing any kids movie programs, so we were really busy for the kids’ shows.”

For many families, the program provides welcome relief to ever-rising movie admission and concession prices.

“We stay mindful of the rising movie prices,” Ross said. “So, we give discounts on families and large groups. We want this to be an affordable experience for parent and kids. That is why admission to these films is one dollar for everyone, adults included.”

The overwhelming response to the kids summer movie series is, for Goodrich Theatres, a return on

an investment in the community.

“It is a way for us to give back to the community,” Ross said. “Goodrich theaters are located in small towns throughout the Midwest. We love having the free kids show in every community. We have a strong base clientele. This is our way of thanking them. It’s a way of taking care of the customer we already have and gaining new ones.”

Hamilton 16 is not the only local theater offering discounted shows. Regal Village Park Stadium, 2222 E 146th St., Carmel, also offers $1 kids movies through their Summer Movie Express shows at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

no-cost public health program developed to provide professional eye care for infants nationwide. Through InfantSEE, optometrists provide a one-time, comprehensive eye assessment to infants ages 6 to 12 months, offering early detection of potential eye and vision problems at no cost, regardless of income.

Eye doctors have instruments and resources not available to general-care doctors like pediatricians and family physicians.

“This extensive eye assessment gives parents the peace of mind that their infant’s vision is developing properly”, said Dr. Tammy Wittmann of Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center.

A study conducted by the American Academy of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus in

1999 found that at age 8, children who did not receive infant screenings for vision issues were 17 times more likely to have amblyopia, a condition often referred to as lazy eye and is a leading cause of vision loss in people younger than 45.

An eye and vision assessment is an important step in making sure your baby is learning to see properly.

Emotional control – A bizarre study at the University of British Columbia has found that acetaminophen, the major component of Tylenol, can do more than cure a headache. It can “calm existential dread.” The study had people doing depressing things like brainstorming what will happen to their own bodies when they die, and those that took Tylenol instead of a placebo were less disconcerted by the process. – The Week

Make-up matters – Are you worried about not having a white enough smile? Different shades of lipstick or gloss can help. Shades including cherry red, wine, berry, plum and rosy pink can help reduce “yellowish tones in your teeth.” Those shades, which are blue- or pink-based, are solid go-to options. – www.webmd.com

In a study looking at how people order from menus with no labeling, calorie labeling and labeling showing how much time it would take to burn off food items with a “brisk walk,” those that had the third labeling option picked low-calorie meals and even ate less. – The Week

Mood uppers – Studies have found that olive oil, salmon and walnuts all seem to have a good shot at assuaging depression. With a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts and salmon have a good chance of being uppers, and large amounts of olive oil could mean a lower chance of being depressed. – www.webmd.com

Small inventory boosts home price Commentary by Jim Litten With 2,857 sales in May in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 19 percent compared to this time last real estate year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Co. On a monthly basis, May 2013 home sales rose 13.5 percent over May 2012, an increase of 339 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. All nine counties reported increased sales or sales on par with May 2012.

The robust housing recovery is underway in Hamilton County. For the first five months of the year, sales rose 22.4 percent, an increase of 530 homes compared to the same time last year. In May 2013, home sales increased nine percent, raising the number of sold homes to 632 from 580.

• Despite the surge in sales in Hamilton County, Carmel experienced a slight decrease with home sales dipping to 165 in May 2013 from 170 in May 2012.

• Home prices in Carmel have nearly remained steady. In May 2013, the average sales price was $312,670, decreasing slight-

ly from $314,410 in May 2012.

• Inventory in Carmel continues to tighten.

Last month, 565 homes were available for sale, which is 27.7 percent fewer compared to May 2012.

• In Hamilton County, homes stayed on the market an average of 81 days in May 2013.

In contrast, homes spent an average of 103 days on the market in May 2012.

• Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, two were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 19 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 62 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 41 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 37 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and four were priced at $99,999 or less.

The balance is tilting toward a seller’s market, but there are still great opportunities for buyers to find an array of houses at various price points.

Carmel Couture is now open at 1 S. Range Line Rd. (Photo by Karen Kennedy)

Carmel Couture dazzles the district

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com A new jewelry store opened its doors earlier this month at the corner of Main Street and Range Line Road. now open Carmel Couture opened at 1 S. Range Line Rd. in the building that previously housed the Renaissance Gallery. The store features an assortment of one-ofa-kind, hand-crafted jewelry made with precious and semi-precious stones, designer handbags and accessories and high quality beads for do-ityourself jewelry makers.

The store is owned by the Garg family, husband and wife Naresh and Hansa, and their son Himan, who recently graduated from IU Bloomington. The Gargs currently own and operate a store in Greenwood called the Bead Palace, which also is the base for their nation-wide, wholesale bead distribution business. The Gargs, who hail from India, still own a gemstone-cutting and jewelry manufacturing facility there as well.

“We looked at many options, all over the country, for a store location,” Himan said. “We wanted to be in Carmel. We want to live in Carmel as

well. We feel our store is a perfect fit for a downtown that focuses on art and design.”

The Gargs are passionate about charitable causes and giving back, and specifically choose designers who feel the same way.

“All of our designers are U.S.-based, and most have a business model in which they are donating a portion of their sales to charities which benefit women and children,” Himan said. “And then, on top of that, we as a family business donate 5 percent of our total profits to help directly fund impoverished children’s education initiatives in India. So buying something in our store usually helps fund two different charities.”

Carmel Couture imports gemstones, including diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, garnets and citrine from all around the world. They also will carry Swarovski crystals. Jewelry making supplies are available for purchase and jewelry making classes will begin in July. Groups can book jewelry making parties with catered-in food and drink.

Currently Carmel Couture has two full-time employees but the Gargs plan to add more staff as business increases. They are open six days a week (closed Tuesdays) from noon to 7 p.m.

Proper nail care is more than aesthetic

Commentary by Lisa Beals

If you hear a “click, click, click” as your dog walks across the floor, chances are he needs a good nail trim. Nail trims, Canines or “pawdicures,” are often an afterthought in the care of our dogs, or they may be seen as purely aesthetic.

However, regular nail trims are important in maintaining your dog’s musculoskeletal health.

How do you know whether your dog’s nails are too long? Look at your dog standing on a firm level surface. The nail should not touch the ground when the dog is in its normal stance. The nails are used primarily to assist the dog in gaining traction when walking up hill or with digging. If your dog’s nails are too long, a good trim is in order.

If you are using a scissors-type trimmer, hold them at a right angle to the nail. Avoid clipping into the quick, which is the sensitive

portion of the nail that is rich in nerves and blood supply. If the quick is clipped, it will bleed profusely and it will be painful. A styptic pen or powder from your local drug store will stop the bleeding. Follow the nail trim with a nail grind using a file to smooth sharp edges of the nail.

The longer the nails are allowed to grow, the longer the quick grows. More frequent, shallow clips are preferred to keep cuts so that the quick will recede throughout time.

Long nails can adversely affect your dog’s posture and can contribute to musculoskeletal injuries. The brain relies on the dog’s feet, among other things, to provide critical sensory input through the joints, tendons and muscles regarding the dog’s posture. If your dog’s nails are too long, it can throw the front limbs too far back and shift his weight to his hips and knees resulting in chronic postural imbalances and overuse injuries that contribute to lameness.

Dr. Judith Shoemaker, DVM, offers courses in postural rehabilitation that focus on the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology concerned with initiating and maintaining normal standing posture and mobility as related to the proprioceptors in the lower extremities. She spends much of her lectures discussing the importance of good nail care in dogs and hoof care in horses as a means of injury prevention and improving performance.

Therefore, consider nail trims an integral part of your dog’s overall health and schedule regular appointments for nail care with your veterinarian, groomer or doggie day care facility.

If a cat swallows those items, backwardfacing tongue barbs make those items incredibly difficult for them to throw up and can cause life-threatening intestinal issues. – www.living.msn.com Bunny biters – Rabbits’ teeth continuously grow throughout their lifetimes, so if you have a pet bunny, it’s important to give them the right diet and things to chomp on to keep the growth in check. Besides fresh hay, try giving them apple, maple and willow branches to chew on, a few at a time each day. Freeze the branches first though, just in case some creepy crawlies are clinging on to them. – www.animals. pawnation.com

Patriotic wreath celebration

Commentary by Ashley Phipps

July 4th is one of my kids’ favorite holidays.

They love being able to wear red, white and blue, and they especially love fireworks. crafts Because it is truly one of their favorite holidays, I always try to do a little bit of decorating for the holiday. This year, I decided to make a patriotic wreath.

This wreath would be perfect for the Fourth of July or Memorial Day, but it is also perfect to leave up all summer long in my opinion. Plus, it is really inexpensive to make and also very easy to create, as well.

Here is what you will need: Styrofoam wreath form, 1/4 yard red or burgundy felt, 1/4 yard light gray or white felt, 1/4 yard navy blue felt, pinking shears, low temp hot glue gun Directions: Cut felt into strips approximately 1-inch to 2-inches wide and 9-inches long using pinking shears. I cut my blue felt about 2-inches wide, the red felt about 1.5-inches wide and the gray felt about 1-inch wide.

Use hot glue to secure felt strips around the Styrofoam wreath form. Overlap felt strips so that no foam shows and be sure to have all your ends meet on the back of the wreath form.

You can put the stripes in any order you prefer, but I kept all my blue in one area and then alternated the gray and red felt. But feel free to use your creativity.

Cut three large circles using the gray felt and

This patriotic wreath is easy to make and could be displayed all summer. (Submitted photo)

pinking shears.

Starting on the outside, cut the circle into a spiral, leaving a small circle in the center intact.

Starting on the outside of the spiral, roll the felt into a flower and secure to the small felt circle using hot glue.

Hot glue the flowers onto the wreath.

Enjoy your patriotic wreath.

Hot-weather makeup

Commentary by Kristina Johnson

When the weather heats up, it’s almost always a given you’re likely to end up with sticky lipstick, sliding blush and eye shadadvice ow that just won’t stay. Summer makeup should be fun, easy and light – not a sweaty mess. So what’s a girl to do?

Here you’ll find some tips and tricks to keep your summer makeup looking fresh and beautiful.

Invest in a primer. Primers work to smooth and keep makeup in place. Apply after moisturizer and before makeup, and you’ll end up with great results. A study by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute found primer helped volunteers’ makeup hold and look better throughout the day, even after a stint in an 80-degree, highhumidity chamber.

Throw out foundation. Well don’t completely throw out your foundation, just put it aside until fall. Instead try a tinted moisturizer. They’re less heavy and won’t get cakey in the heat. Some even come with added SPF, a great bonus for sunny summer days.

Brighten up your lips. If it’s too hot to wear a full face of makeup (light as it may be) a great lip color can really pull your look together. Hot pinks and vibrant corals are great for summer and are it colors for 2013.

Bronzer, bronzer, bronzer. I can’t say enough about how awesome bronzers are.

Bronzers are a great way to add warmth to your

skin, brighten your eyes and make your teeth appear whiter. Apply to where the sun hits you naturally – nose, forehead, chin and cheekbones – and you’ll be good to go.

Eyes that pop. Summer’s a great time to experiment with bright colors. Yolanda Hall, makeup artist at NjS Studio in Zionsville, says “Brighten your look for summer. Change out regular black or brown liner for a fun color.” Consider taking a break from eye shadow and invest in a bright eyeliner or mascara. Emerald green and teal are hot colors for this summer. If you’re addicted to your eye shadow try using a primer or a cream based shadow so that it can withstand the heat.

The mirage of decorating between commercials Commentary by Vicky Earley

For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US

The American public is showing no signs of abandoning its passion for the immediate gratification of HGTV decorating. While it has engendered a passion for the interiors home, this condensed variety of decorating has instilled the idea that an inspiration can grow into reality between commercial breaks.

These are expectations that no mere mortal interior designer can live up to without an entire staff, crew and cameras on hand.

We are being duped into believing that a room can transform in 30 minutes with no sweat and no budget. Unless your designer is adorned in glitter and has a pixie countenance and wand, expect the reality version of the decorating shows.

In a one-hour show, we witness homely rooms that are mystically transformed into beautifully decorated spaces on budgets that would fit in a piggy bank. If you contact a decorator and expect the same metamorphosis in your home, it is very likely that you will be disappointed.

Have you ever considered how this cable TV magic can happen week after week? The answer is quite simple: labor and promotional discounts. Now cut to the real world, where your budget not only has to cover materials, furniture and accessories, but also your decorator, your carpenter, your interior painter, your drapery fabricator, your installer, etc. and reality can bring

True decorating takes more than 30 minutes. (Submitted photo)

the curtain down on your naivety.

Time warp is another major symptom of too much HGTV. A client who holds dear the belief that a space can be developed in an hour, a week or even a month is headed for the same frustration and disappointment as the one who expects to do it “on a dime.” Quite simply explained, good design takes time.

A beautiful space that appears so effortless on the flat screen is actually the product of hours of communication and research in real life. Once decisions have been made, furnishings and fabrics must be ordered. Custom or specialorder furniture can take as long as 12 weeks for completion. Custom draperies can take six to eight weeks before installation. In the meantime,

there are other workers who must be scheduled, including painters, installers and on and on.

Keep in mind that your decorator has the ability to visualize the completed project and veering from the prescribed design plan could lead to a less than desirable outcome HGTV is great for quick ideas and inspirations, but real life demands realistic expectations. When those are in place and you have connected with a professional who has earned your trust, step back and then let your decorator work real magic.

Basement expansion designed to meet variety of needs

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing basement: Built in 2010, the owners of this ranch home in the Cobblestone neighborhood in Zionsville were looking to expand their livblueprint for ing space. improvement “I moved here with my father who is elderly,” said one of the homeowners. “Then my sister moved in, too. We wanted to add more space in the home.” The unfinished basement provided the perfect opportunity to get the functionality they needed.

Design considerations: The homeowners had specific needs for the basement space: two bedrooms, an office, an exercise room, a media/ family room space, an area for light food prep and more than one bathroom. Considerations like existing plumbing and egress for the bedrooms drove the placement of many of the rooms. And, though the bedrooms would be used by just one family member and his visiting children, the rest of the space was to be shared by the whole family. Allowing the less mobile family member access to the shared spaces was important as well, so a stair lift was included in the plan.

Dual bath design: The shared yet private nature of the space was a particular challenge

Before for the design of the bathrooms. Rather than relocating plumbing to another part of the basement for a second bathroom (a costly alternative), the design called for two bathrooms in one.

The access from the shared space takes users into a half bath which has a door that leads into a full-bath complete with steam shower. The full bath has access to the master bedroom as well.

Natural light and open floor plan: The finished look from the main level of the house was brought into the basement through the design and material choices. Interior glass windows provide lots of natural light into the space. White crown and base molding helped brighten the space as well, and keeping the ceilings as high

After as possible kept an airy feel. The large square footage of the basement allowed for spacious rooms. Using a peninsula to divide the family room and the wet bar area helped define the functionality of each space while keeping the open flow.
