TAKE MY RIDE Confiscated vehicles like this Rolls Royce are auctioned to help task force fight crime

By Brandon Bowman Current In Carmel

Crime does not pay. When criminals are arrested, police departments can confiscate their property, sell it, and use the money to catch more crooks.

“Under Indiana law, we can seize property bought from drug dealing,” according to Sgt. Charles Driver of the Hamilton/Boone County Drug Task Force. Cars used to transport drugs, as well as big screen TVs and artwork, are among commonly seized items. It’s unusual to seize a home, Driver said, because they are usually mortgaged to the hilt by the dealer.

In John O’Toole’s case, the Carmel Police Department took a 1987 Rolls Royce, a handgun and 700 pounds of marijuana. O’Toole landed in federal prison for 10 years.

You might have seen O’Toole’s Rolls Royce in the St. Vincent Heart Center of Indiana Parade at CarmelFest, carrying Carmel Police Chief Michael Fogarty.

“We thought it would be a good opportunity to show the residents what the drug dealers buy with their money,” Maj. Randy Schalburg of the Carmel Police Department said about the appearance of the Rolls Royce in the parade.

This isn’t the only high-end vehicle taken

by CPD. Two Porsches and two Cadillacs have been confiscated by the police department.

The cars are put up for auction the first Thursday of every month.

“The Rolls Royce will be up for auction this August, and we’re looking to get $25,000 for it,” Driver said. The legal forfeiture was just approved this summer through the court. The car would have been worth $109,700 in 1987.

“We’ve had the Rolls Royce for about two years,” Driver said. The money made from these auctions goes toward equipment for the police department and programs involved with the Hamilton/Boone Drug Task Force.

The Carmel Police Department also keeps vehicles for use in undercover work. Cars are also used as crash cars in chases and to knock down fences during raids. The Rolls is extraordinary, Driver said. Most of the cars they confiscate are worth $1,500 to $2,000, he said The operation to apprehend O’Toole, start-

ed with an anonymous tip to the Hamilton/ Boone County Drug Task force in September 2004. The tip said that O’Toole was involved in trafficking large amounts of marijuana. He was also seen with many high-end vehicles that his $900 in monthly Social Security income would never be able to sustain.

“Further financial investigations showed that this was the only source of income for the O’Tooles,” Driver said.

The Drug Task Force observed no activity at his residence during a month of surveillance. The informant contacted Detective Tim Frick and told him that O’Toole was in California and would return with a load of marijuana.

In October, the task force observed O’Toole unloading large bags from his RV. With an outstanding warrant for a theft, law enforcement officers approached O’Toole and arrested him.

“I was called out to the scene. I had heard of O’Toole for many years,” Schalburg said. Search warrants were issued and they found 700 pounds of

marijuana in his RV along with a handgun.

Street value of the marijuana? “It could equal a million,” Driver said. O’Toole was sentenced to 10 years in a federal prison.

With O’Toole in jail, the police department will make sure that the items he bought with his drug money are used to help bust more offenders.

“We like to hit them in their pocket books and take their toys away from them,” Driver said. The work can be rough on officers, but the payoff can be good for the community.

“I really try to keep work at work and have fun when I have my time off. It’s the only way to keep your head on straight,” Driver said.

Kick the tires:

Make: Rolls Royce Model: Corniche Year: 1987 Mileage: 50,000 Estimated worth at auction: $15,000 to $22,000 Cost to insure: $978 Going to auction: Early August at Kessler-Schaefer Auto Auction, 5666 W. 46th St., Indianpolis.

OUR TAKES It is our position that while the landscaping now taking shape at the core of roundabouts across our community are considerable enhancements that add not only aesthetic significance but also economic value, these often elaborate gardening undertakings must be more than adequately maintained. Case in point, the roundabout providing an important gateway to our community at 96th and Westfield Boulevard now lies in a disappointing state – overgrown with weeds and apparently abandoned. In fact, so much so that the city would undoubtedly cite the errant homeowner or landlord responsible for such poor maintenance of so public a space.

What message does this send about our city?

Don’t get us wrong, we are delighted with the effort made to turn these lumps of mud and crabgrass into a welcoming and enhanced version of the automobile-focused American civic space. Other cities should take note of the important qualityof-life improvement delivered by green space. So, perhaps the landscaping effort has been too ambitious. Or, perhaps the near-drought conditions have precipitated some unusual gardening strategy. But like it or not, Carmel is renown for its circular intersections. Work to enhance them is lauded, but failure to maintain them is an embarrassment.

IT’S THE SPENDING, STUPID It is our position that the general assembly, local government, school boards, and any other manner and sort of taxing authority are missing the point by focusing discussion on where the taxes to fill their fattened coffers originate. The real issue is not about revenue. It is about expenses.

For generations, we have continued to watch government expand and grow at the same time using euphemisms for tax increases – revenue enhancements and program facilitation. We are not talking about the basic and as necessary services of a civilized life. We are not talking about efforts initiated to build economic capacity and create jobs.

The real truth is that government is too thick. Layer upon layer of bureaucrats oversee every imaginable process and activity. This week, Gov. Mitch Daniels instituted a committee to review the organization and necessity of local government, including consolidation of school districts. Well, what a bold move. Our fine city made that decision years ago and has benefited from that wisdom. At the same time, we still have township offices and an independently elected clerk treasurer. Is this a responsible use of our tax dollars? We don’t think so.

But now, the stakes have gone way up and the future of Marion County is at risk. While we appreciate Gov. Mitch Daniels stepping up to try to take control from a failed mayor, our sincere hope is that voters run Mayor Bart Peterson out of town. Since everyone knew this whole property tax thing was spinning out of control, Mayor P. did what most politicians do when confronted with a major issue; he ran. Interestingly, he had time to negotiate the construction of Lucas Oil Stadium and work on the city’s Super Bowl bid.

Then, after waiting until he was confronted by angry property owners, he came up with a plan that was even weak by politicians’ standards; a big Band-Aid — borrow $75 million and worry about it later. A stunning failure in leadership. No mention of out-ofcontrol spending (see: IT’S THE SPENDING,

Editor: I am writing in regard to your July 17th issue of Current in Carmel. In the article, “Boy Scout Collects items for Bosnian orphans,” it states “Bosnia has been in a civil war with Croatia and Slovakia for more then 10 years.”

Slovakia does not border on Bosnia or any other former Yugoslavian country. Slovakia was a part of the former Czechoslovakia. This country voluntarily split into two countries, namely, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. Bosnia as a part of the former Yugoslavia had been in conflict with Serbia and Croatia.

If the government has so mismanaged one, why would you want them to manage the other? That doesn’t make sense. Imagine, health care brought to us by the same people that give us the broken Social Security system.

YOU’RE TALKING SOCIALISM

Editor: I am stunned by Andy Ray’s column about socialized medicine. How sad to see an American yearn for socialism.

Perhaps if he did a little research outside of Hollywood, he would find that socialized medicine is, in fact, rationed medicine. People wait months for doctor appointments. I, for one, do not want a government making health care decisions for me or my family. You can bet health care will cost more for everyone when bureaucracy is involved.

Our system is not perfect; but I’ll live with my freedom and personal responsibility any day over his fictitiously perfect France.

Here are a few tips from my Hemorrhoid Club on avoiding and treating hemorrhoids.

1. Never strain during bowel movements.

If nothing’s happening, try again later.

2. Avoid constipation, the root of all evil, at all costs.

3. Try not to sit or stand in for too long, as these positions can increase pressure on the rectum. Same goes for lifting heavy objects.

4. Don’t be afraid to try over-the-counter treatments. They are available at every pharmacy (and occasionally in your grocery checkout aisle).

5. Use baby wipes when hemorrhoids are present. They’re soft, moist and don’t feel like sand paper.

6. Take a Sitz bath. That same hot water you used after your episiotomy can provide instant pain relief.

7. If OTC measures fail, consult a physician. In some cases, surgery may be your best bet.

Peace out.

USS INDIANAPOLIS SURVIVORS STAND PROUD AND TALL

t the end of the CarmelFest Parade, it was clear that both groups were impressed with each other.

The patriotic crowd lining the 2-mile route enthusiastically showed their appreciation as 10 of the remaining 81 survivors of the doomed ship USS Indianapolis motored by in vintage cars. But even better, Harold Bray, Loel Dene Cox, Sam Lopez, Paul McGinnis, Paul Murphy, Eugene Morgan, Glenn Morgan, James O’Donnell and William Mulvey could not stop talking about the honor they felt to be included.

As a bystander, it was a real treat for me to see the survivors and the crowd as both givers and receivers on that beautiful Fourth of July morning.

Carmel resident John Cimasko, better known to many as Jersey Johnny on WIBC, was the connection and force that brought the special group of World War II vets to Carmel.

He has been working for more than seven years raising money for the committee that

holds a reunion for the men every other year in Indianapolis.

This year was special because the reunion would include the dedication of a permanent museum honoring the men and memorabilia from the ship. Unfortunately, 12 fewer men of the crew were alive this Jeff Worrell year to witness the CarmelCan! dedication.

Behind the scenes, Joe Bejin and Bill Moldt volunteered their time to drive two buses provided by PrimeLife Enrichment Center to pick up the honored guests from a downtown Indy hotel and then return them after the Carmel festivities. I am told the buses were much more alive on the return trip as these men and their wives, all of them in their 80s, felt much younger and alive

having just experienced Carmel’s version of a hero’s welcome.

Later that week, our 10 survivors were joined by 31 more for activities in Indianapolis. During one especially hot ceremony honoring each of the 880 men from the crew that perished on July 30, 1945, the organizers tried to move the survivors into the shade and out of the sun. Not one man would move, despite age and physical infirmities. Instead, each one that could, stood as tall and as proud as he has been able to do in years.

I hope that some of the kids along the parade route wanted to know who those old guys were and what is a USS Indianapolis. I trust you told them.

so refreshing to know that other young women experience hemorrhoids, too, and that I wasn’t a medical anomaly.

And what was really liberating was being able to talk about my hemorrhoids with other women and having them share their experiences. It seems most of the ladies I know have, at one time or another, had a hemorrhoid. Some blame their hemmies on pregnancy and endless labors, others on long hours of standing or sitting. But whatever the cause, the end result was painful, embarrassing hemorrhoids that nobody wanted to admit to having.

Now that we’ve all come clean, we’ve been able to get down to the business of prevention and treatment. It’s like belonging to a hemorrhoid support group! “Hi. My name is Soccer Mom, and I have hemorrhoids.” I’ve learned what causes them, how to treat them and which proctologist to avoid because he’s just too good-looking. And when I think I’ve got it really bad, I can always call my sister and hear how embarrassing it is to see the same specialist as our mother!

So the next time your little pains in the tush show up, consider calling a female friend or relative and sharing. You’ll get a sympathetic ear and maybe even a few pointers. And you’ll definitely feel better knowing you’re not alone.

ine of the 10 Commandments of the Old Testament are mentioned as items of obedience in the New Testament.

The one that’s missing is about keeping the Sabbath holy.

Ever wonder why that is?

I’ve written here before that the only two truly New Testament commandments are to “love God” and to “love others as you love yourself ” (Matthew 22:37-39). “Love others” is a command — “as you love yourself ” just proves how well Jesus knows us.

Bob Walters Still, having no Spirituality other gods, no idols and not misusing God’s name; honoring our parents; not committing murder or adultery; and not lying, stealing or coveting are all mentioned in the New Testament as works of our faith.

But there’s nothing about observing the Sabbath.

The word “Sabbath” appears 57 times in my NIV New Testament, but always to identify a day or time, or in an argument Jesus is hav-

ing with the Jewish leaders.

Jesus — a Jew — is frequently rebuked by the Pharisees for his activities on the Sabbath: healing the sick, blind and crippled, casting out demons, allowing his disciples to pick up grain, etc. In Matthew 12:11-12 Jesus points out that as we would rescue our sheep on the Sabbath, so is it right to do good for others on the Sabbath.

Sunday isn’t the Sabbath anyway. Saturday is the Sabbath, commemorating the Seventh Day of creation when God rested and commanded Israel to similarly rest. Sunday, the first day of the week, is the Lord’s Day commemorating Jesus’ resurrection. That’s why Jews observe Shabbat on Saturday, and Christians (mostly) go to church on Sunday.

So why no “Sabbath” observance for Christians? Because while Jewish law commands worship days, feasts and festivals to honor God at specific times, Christ promised He would be with us and in us always, just as we are to worship him always.

Christians have no need for a Sabbath, because Christ is always with us.

Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com) believes God doesn’t care when you go to church (or Temple, for that matter), but that He’d sure love to see you there. Writer’s opinions do not necessarily reflect those of this newspaper.

WHAT’S A BRAND? IT’S MORE THAN JUST A NAME

ver thought about the origin of the term brand? A “brandâ€? is really a symbol of everything connected to a company – speciďŹ cally its products or services. A brand can also be used to describe the company itself. It can create associations and expectations around a name, logo, design scheme and even music.

The term brand is really about marking a product or service.

Like branding cattle – you mark the product so everyone knows it’s yours.

Branding was originally intended to convince the market that they could buy mass-produced products instead of David Cain local products. If On Marketing there was a “name you could trust� on the mass-produced product, then buyers would accept that product more willingly.

Campbell Soup, Coca-Cola, and Quaker Oats were among the ďŹ rst American products to explore being a “brand.â€?

This would increase a customer’s familiarity with their products and, along with that, increase the likelihood of a customer

buying their product.

Although, many popular brands have strong name recognition, branding is usually thought of as visual – it is the logo and design scheme. A good brand also can stand out in a market as the leader and actually become the name of choice for that industry. Think Xerox and Kleenex – two brand names that have really become standards for their product. Xerox actually made the leap from product or company name to industry verb.

Another modern brand making the same transition from noun to verb is Google – ever “Google� something?

As it relates to branding, the Internet is poised to change things. A company’s brand is now becoming more about the people and what the company stands for rather than the product or service they offer.

Aside from companies like Google that hold the coveted position of moving from noun to verb, most brands will never

make that leap. Instead most brands are about what the company stands for and who that company employs. As online strategies develop, look for more groups to proďŹ le their culture, value and beliefs, and employees online through various channels like blogging.

ENOVA OIL BENEFIT: In a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, dieters who used Enova oil in recipes lost more weight than those who used other oil. Enova — made from soy and canola oils — is made of diglycerides, a type of fat that’s metabolized differently from triglycerides (found in other oils — even olive) and so not stored as fat as easily. If you’re trying to lose weight, consider switching to Enova.

know it sounds like a fowl supposition, but are eggs all they are “cracked up” to be?

As a survivor of heart disease, I’ve steered clear of eggs, the symbol of life and fertility, for one reason: one egg contains the daily limit of 250 to 300 mg of cholesterol.

The eggs-perts at the University of Illinois inform me that cholesterol is a complex, fatty substance found in all animal cells, human and otherwise.

Despite its bad rap, it is essential to life and needed for the growth, development, and repair of muscles and other body tissues.

The American Heart Association sugWendell Fowler gests that if you are healthy and have no elevated cholesterol levels, you shouldn’t consume more than one egg per day. In the other basket, if your blood cholesterol is high, have other risk factors for heart disease or already have heart disease, drop the egg, bub, and opt for some Egg Beaters or protein-rich egg whites.

It’s always best to check with your family

doctor, however.

The incredible, edible, 70-calorie “cackleberry” (restaurant jargon for the sound an egg makes as it’s frying) is not only rich in protein, riboflavin, niacin, iron, and vitamins D, A, B12, and K, but eggs also contain lutein and zeaxanthin, critical for healthy eyes.

According to the American Heart Association, lutein also protects us from heart disease. Eggs are an excellent source of choline, an essential nutrient also found in dark-green, leafy vegetables that have been demonstrated to play a vital role in the development of improved brain function and memory.

One egg provides half the amount of choline that you require daily. More is not, however, better.

Eggs contain biotin, a member of the vitamin B complex (vitamin H). A deficiency of this vitamin can cause dermatitis, dementia, loss of hair, and, occasionally, brittle nails.

Insufficient omega-3 in our diet has been associated with depression. Because the human brain is the richest source of fatty acids in the human body and proper nerve cell func-

BLAME THE SUN: “Undereye puffiness is the result of fluid retention,” says Dr. David Bank, a New York dermatologist. And you can thank the sun for that bluish hue.

“Over time,” Bank explains, “the sun depletes our collagen supply, making skin less plump and taut, and causes tiny blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface to dilate and burst.” A chilled gel-filled eye compress will constrict them (making them less noticeable) and reduce puffiness.

YOU WILL DIGG THESE DEL.ICIO.US WEB SITES

By Gary Hubbard

The Internet, often referred to as the “Information Superhighway,” is bulging with information that grows exponentially every day. But how do you go about finding it?

A clever attempt to answer this question has come about from the advent of “social bookmarking and social popularity” networks such as Del. icio.us (http://del.icio.us) and Digg (http://digg.com).

There are three main attributes to these networks: Storing your favorites, submitting/voting on Web sites and discovering new things through other’s picks.

Once you register for a free account on one of these networks, you can simply start clicking on these links anytime you find a story or a Web page that you would like to save for the future or to tell others about.

The benefit of using these networks for your “Favorites” instead of your own computer is that you no longer have different lists of favorites on your various computers, you won’t ever lose your favorites if your computer crashes and you can find great new information from the submissions of others that have similar interests.

It also allows you to have a “vote” on what

BONDED & INSURED EXPERIENCED EMPLOYEES PROFESSIONAL, SAFE AND RELIABLE

000-000-0000 317-815-5500 www.mrhandyman.com

you feel is useful content for others.

For instance, if you find an advice column particularly helpful, you simply click on the link (for the network you chose to join) to save it in your favorites and tell others that you think the content is helpful.

These virtual “votes” can help improve search engine rankings for your favorite sites because these networks are considered very credible sources for determining relevant content.

Higher search engine rankings generate more visitors to that site and since user traffic is the currency of the Internet, you are repaying that site for its free content (you gotta love the Internet!)

Think of it as your way of helping to de-

termine what is valuable on the Internet and taking advantage of what others have marked as useful content to find great new sites. It’s the ultimate example of the Internet community sharing with one another.

The primary difference between Del.icio.us and Digg is that Del.icio.us is more of a true social bookmarking network while Digg is more of a community-based popularity site that uses elements of social bookmarking and blogging to voice opinions on submitted pages.

If you are new to these concepts, I would recommend signing up for a Del.icio.us account as it tends to be more useful as a bookmarking resource and tends to be a little more new user friendly.

If you like to read news stories that tend not to be in the mainstream media or if you have a Web site and want to try to drive traffic to it, getting up to speed on how the Digg network operates could be very beneficial.

RENEW WITH GRASS-CYCLING: It’s a myth that grass clippings smother your lawn! The nitrogen-rich clippings return nutrients to the soil, so leave them where they fall.

DROUGHT-RESISTANT PLANTS CONSERVE MOISTURE

hat is Americas’ greatest liquid asset?

Water, according to Ben Grumbles, assistant Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Water.

I suspect that his competing associates in the oil and wine industry might disagree.

Nevertheless, with Midwestern states experiencing varying degrees of drought and watering restrictions, one has to give his wet opinion some credibility.

Xeriscaping, or water prudent landscapRandy Sorrell ing, was born from Outdoors those very concerns in 1978 when the Den-

ver Water Department was searching for conservation mechanisms. Generally, xeriscaping incorporates plants that are able to thrive with considerably less moisture than some of their thirsty buddies. Often that guides us towards planting more natives, which we tend to like anyway. They are able to survive periods of drought and actually enjoy the wonderful clay soil Carmel residents can witness in mountainous piles next to our future City Center.

Unfortunately, some of our favorites (hydrangea, dogwood, hemlock, rhododendron) tend to be moisture consumers, not conservers. You may be wondering if our Hoosier discussion of xeriscaping is premature. Perhaps, but the style does trend towards low maintenance, which most appreciate.

Care to embrace some common sense and hardy plants?

Perennials: coneflower, black eyed susan, dianthus, blue fescue, switch grass, fountain grass, yarrow, sage, daylilies.

Shrubs: juniper, yew, quince, spirea, chokeberry, sumac, bayberry, sweetspire.

Trees: honeylocust, birch, hornbeam, hawthorne. See, there are some pretty cool plants that probably already root in your landscape.

Another related and vigorously debated practice is mulching substances. While not necessarily a fan of gravel as mulch, new perspectives are helping me appreciate the look and texture. It could also be that mulching is costly and difficult work and my personal spring fix of mulch is a painfully growing addiction. Asian influenced gardens are obvious opportunities to install pea gravel as mulch and ground covers quickly consume geography, thereby reducing the necessary substance.

Remember, plant wisely and…“Don’t fight the site.”

FOR GREAT THE THE RECORD FRAME UP

GROWING ACHES AND PAINS: With summer in full swing, the full range of outdoor activities are tempting everybody to be outside, getting in shape. But when you’re basically a “desk jockey” during the week, those intense jags of weekend hyper-activity can really wreak havoc on your muscles. The solution? Massage. “Professional athletes have long realized the benefits of a good massage after a workout,” says Charlie Marsh, regional director of Massage Envy of Indiana. “We’re beginning to see amateur athletes of all ages and abilities take advantage of those same benefits.”

DISPATCHES CHEATER’S GUIDE TO CLEANING: Here’s how to cut your scrubbing time in half, from Jeff Bredenberg, author of “How to Cheat at Cleaning” Shower your shades. Remove fabric lamp shades and place two or three in the bathtub with the drain open.

Hose down with cold water with a handheld shower or turn the showerhead to the spray option. Let them air-dry.

Create a standstill.

Anchor small collectibles to shelves with tacky putty. You can dust away without fear of knocking them over.

Go for transparency. Cover wooden surfaces with glass tops and never worry about water rings or purchasing special polishes again.

LAUNDRY MYSTERIES: SOLVED! Why do T-shirts sometimes come out of the dryer with tiny holes? Our experts agreed on the culprit: Over-bleaching causes small holes in knits and cottons by weakening the fabric.

— quick & simple WE’LL BELIEVE ANYTHING: When Taco Bell ran an ad in The New York Times on April 1, 1996, announcing a plan to buy the Liberty Bell and rename it the “Taco Liberty Bell” in an effort to reduce the national debt, some readers were horrified. Turns out, the announcement was a hoax, designed to promote the chain’s new ads. It worked: Sales for the day were up $500,000!

— quick & simple DON’T FORGET THE FLOOR: Until recently the steadfast rule of home design was to choose furniture, accessories and paint first. Then almost as an afterthought, chose flooring. According to Chris Sy of Carlisle Wide Plank Floors, nowadays, decorators have changed their tune. They recognize that flooring can be the centerpiece of the room and the first step in the design process. If well cared for, a wood floor can last for hundreds of years or more.

“In 1955, about 25 percent of the money Americans spent on all food purchases — including groceries — was at restaurants. Today, it’s 48 percent,” reports the National Restaurant Association.

The trend is manifesting itself across the full spectrum of restaurants, from quick-serve, to casual to upscale.

McDonald’s says “60 percent of its sales are via drive throughs” — a service it didn’t even begin offering until 1975. Outback Steakhouse is cleaning up with its “curbside service,” which accounts “for nearly 12 percent of sales in 2007, or $300 million, up from less than three percent of sales about a decade ago.”

And in Washington, D.C., the legendary Old Ebbitt Grill began offering Ebbitt Express in 1994 — and now serves “about 100,000 takeout meals a year.”

Perhaps most interesting of all, most of the restaurants report that their takeout businesses are booming without the benefit of any advertising.

reason for being at the museum once a week or more. Between ongoing docent education classes, in which the volunteer tour leaders learn about new acquisitions and special exhibitions, and committee meetings to improve the docent program, she spends up to 15 hours a month there.

If you envy Katz, now’s the perfect time to join her. The museum is recruiting its next class of volunteer educators.

“We’re looking to recruit 45 people to become touring docents,” said Patrick Lauer, the IMA’s manager of docent programs. “Any museum member with a customer service orientation who enjoys learning and teaching others and has the time required for the program is a good candidate to become a volunteer educator.”

You don’t have to know anything about art to get involved. Katz’s fellow docents are lawyers, doctors, housewives and people from all walks of life.

You can learn more about the program by visiting the museum’s Web site, www.ima-art. org, and linking to IMA Docent Program from the Education and Community menu.

Complete an information request form to find out about upcoming orientation meetings.

Starting in November, the next group of chosen candidates will devote a year to studying the museum’s permanent collection before joining Dana Katz as a tour leader.

A determined princess releases her brothers from a curse that transformed them into swans. She is able to give each brother back his human form, except the youngest, Ardwin. He is stuck with one arm as a wing.

One day, his father receives an offer of marriage for Ardwin to a neighboring ruler’s daughter, but with one stipulation: Ardwin must amputate his wing. Though he hates his deformity, he balks at having it forcibly removed.

The prince flees, and learns some important lessons.

When Dana Katz moved to Carmel six years ago with her husband, Mark, one of the first things they did was join the Indianapolis Museum of Art. “I think we shocked them a little,” Katz said. “I mean, we went to the museum and joined even before we walked through it for the first time.”

Katz was always interested in art, having minored in it in college. But she majored in math and taught high school math in suburban Atlanta because it offered a more practical career path.

She wanted to study art again, but she didn’t find the time until the family moved to the Indianapolis area. Retired from teaching, Katz was ready when an ad for docents in the museum’s membership bulletin five years ago caught her eye.

Katz signed up for the year-long training program. Since completing the rigorous curriculum, she’s enjoyed giving tours of the museum to visiting students, families and other groups.

“The best part of being a museum docent is when you overhear a student who didn’t expect to enjoy the field trip say they want to come back with their parents,” Katz said. “You know you’ve helped someone understand art a little better if they want to return.”

For Katz the best part of the job, aside from sharing her love of art with others, is having a
