Beetles making their way to Indiana

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Gardeners and tree-huggers, beware. The Asian longhorn beetle is making its way to Indiana trees. environment According to local park naturalist and Zion Nature Center manager Mindy Murdock, the Asian longhorn beetle is just one member in the current onslaught of non-native insect species to hit the United States that pose severe impacts to our native forest habitat as well as local industries.

“The Asian longhorn beetle can vary their host plant among several different hardwood species. Maples seem to be hit the hardest, but they have also infested elm, willow and poplar species,” Murdock said. “Although the insect has not been found in the state, it is important to keep informed.”

Murdock noted that the best time to spot the insects is in the summer months, when the adults emerge from the trees to reproduce.

The adult beetle is about an inch to inch and a half long and has a shiny black body with white spots. The insect has very long black and white banded antennae.

“In the summer months, where the insect is present, you can find the adults on tree branches, outdoor furniture, walls, sidewalks and even cars,” Murdock said. “The Indiana officials mention that residents should routinely check their

trees. Some things to look for that could indicate you have a tree infected with the insect are dime sized exit holes in the trunk of the tree, sap running from those holes, yellowing tree limbs and coarse sawdust around the base of the tree or on lower limbs. Of course if you suspect that you may have a tree infested or have seen what appears to be an adult it’s best to capture the insect or take several pictures and contact the Department of Natural Resources.”

Currently, the Asian longhorn beetle is found in New York, Massachusetts and Southern Ohio.

The insect arrived from Asia on hardwood packing material in the 1990s.

Treatment is difficult and according to APHIS involves cutting and removal of infected trees and then treatment of any nearby hardwood species.

“One thing that is stressed, the same as with EAB, is that residents do not move firewood, as this is a simple way to transport both insect species to areas that are currently unaffected,” she said.

The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture has set up a website that provides information as well as what is being done in areas that are currently fighting ALB infestations. The site is www.asianlonghornedbeetle.com/.

“This is officials are taking the insect threat seriously and want Hoosiers to be aware,” Murdock said.

Each year, Carmel Health & Living treats patients recovering from injuries, joint replacements, surgeries, and those individuals requiring general rehabilitation.

A passion for special needs

By Allison Mayer • news@currentincarmel.com Many years ago Al and Linda Webber took a vacation to Italy where they happened to meet an Australian couple the Webb’s.

Service The two families became friends and stayed in contact over the years, despite being located half way around the world from each other.

In 2010 when the Webb’s daughter, Madeline (Madi) Webb, needed a place to stay for a couple weeks between a coast-to-coast tour of America and a vacation in Europe the Webb’s reached out to Al Webber. Al Webber and his daughter Kylene were happy to have Madi come to stay with them in Carmel. That was four years ago, and she is still here.

When Madi arrived in 2010, Al Webber set her up with a position volunteering at the Hamilton County Human Society, a natural fit for this aspiring veterinarian. Al Webber wasn’t sure at first how Madi would react to attending social groups that Kylene was involved in. Kylene Webber is very active in Special Olympics Indiana, Trailblazers, Trinity Fellowship, and other organizations for adults with special needs. Special needs adults are very direct, and Al thought Madi might be overwhelmed. Madi arrived in Carmel on a Thursday, and by Saturday morning she was the assistant treasurer for one of Kylene’s groups and had more new friends than she could count.

Looking back Al Webber isn’t surprised.

Madi Webb and Kylene Webber became great friends. (Photo by Allison Mayer)

“Madi’s contagious,” he said. “Not just to us but to everyone who’s around her, everyone loves her.”

Madi continued to volunteer and participate in special needs groups with Kylene. She stayed a few extra weeks in Indiana, before heading off to Europe, and then came back afterwards to experience a white Christmas. It was during those winter months, that Madi knew she wanted stay here in the United States for college and study special needs education.

“It’s easy to take the simple things for granted,” Madi said. “Special needs children are so happy, they make me laugh, and smile, and slow down.”

“I knew Tom was stubborn enough to overcome the setbacks of his stroke, he just needed the right encouragement.”

Sole Sisters teammates Jamie Ferency of Carmel and Christine LaForte of Indianapolis work together to throw a noodle through a ring at the Cool Creek Park portion of the race.

Race Across Hamilton County

Team Viejos (Martin and Kathleen Gonzalez) work to answer and identify nature questions at one of the challenges at Cool Creek Park.

On Aug. 23, the Hamilton County, Westfield, Washington Township, Cicero, Noblesville, Fishers, Carmel parks departments came together to cohost the annual Race Across Hamilton County.

Sixty teams of two participated in a variety of physical and mental activities at MacGregor Park in Westfield, Billericay Park in Fishers, Hamilton County’s Cool Creek Park and Founders Park in Carmel. (Photos by Robert Herrington)

Tom’s recovery from the stroke was challenging for both of us. I never doubted that he would walk again—I worried about finding him the best care possible. I was immediately comfortable with the caring staff at Westminster Village North. With each visit, I saw Tom getting stronger. The therapist constantly encouraged him, and kept me involved in his care. Before long, Tom was back on his feet, thanks to his determination and the wonderful staff that treated us like family.

Sixteen will dance for food

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Prior to agreeing to participate in the Meals on Wheels-Hamilton County’s inaugural “Dancing with Our Stars” event philanthropy Sept. 4, Todd Thurston, 42, was just a little familiar with the nonprofit through his work at Hare Chevrolet. While substitute driving for the nonprofit, Thurston said it was a chance phone call that increased his efforts to assist the organization. While talking with his father, Thurston learned his grandmother had meals delivered three times a week after his grandfather died.

“At that point it became more impactful to me. Now I’m giving back to an organization that helps my grandmother,” he said. “This organization impacted my family and I didn’t even know about it.”

Thurston is one of eight local residents that will do their best to keep up with their professional partners. Other participants joining Thurston, who is partnered with Diana Miller, include Julie Schnieders and Ed Godby-Schwab; Alaina Shonkwiler and Rob Jenkins; Jeff Warner and Monica Lung; Jessica Rodgers and Xavier Medina; Betsy Russell and Scott Shook; Gary Fammartino and Yulia; and Amy DeLucia and Chris Williams.

“I don’t expect to go out there and be Gene Kelly or anything,” said Thurston. “There’s not many things I do that I don’t have a blast at.”

“We wanted folks with Type A personalities who don’t mind putting it all out there. People who are known in their communities – not a TV personality. We’ve got some amazing people dancing for us,” she said. “There is definitely competitiveness going on.”

Like the TV show, each star is paired with a professional dancer and has 10 lessons to learn a routine.

“It’s a different way of teaching because you are immediately doing choreography and harder moves than I would usually teach a beginner.

We’re trying to add as much flash as possible,” said Jenkins, a professional dancer and teacher.

Also like the show there will be a panel of professional judges critiquing the routine.

A week after the Carmel Redevelopment Commission chose to not present its budget to the Carmel City Council, government debate continues about whether the council gets to approve its budget.

Recently, the Indiana State Legislature passed a law governing redevelopment commissions, putting in several new requirements for transparency and working with city councils.

Some city councilors believe the law means the council now gets to control the CRC’s budget, but others – including Mayor Jim Brainard – believe that it’s clear that the law asks for “oversight” but not “approval.”

Both sides are meeting with attorneys to so-

lidify their legal interpretations, but Brainard said he is confident in his interpretation.

“The legislature did not intend that the council ‘approve’ every expenditure of redevelopment commission but rather ‘review’ the budget that is presented,” he said. “In fact, the bill originally said ‘approve’ and after discussion and a request from the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns the word ‘approve’ was removed and replaced with ‘review.’”

CRC Executive Director Corrie Meyer said the reason approval wasn’t written into the law is because “because the CRC would have no purpose for existing. It would be a redevelopment department rather than an independent commission.” By making it an independent commission, it removes politics from playing a role in decision-making.

City Council unmoved by march

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Josh Kirsh, of Carmel, said he recently had his “Lorax” moment. government The parks board representative and member of the Carmel Plan Commission has been passionately against the new Monon Lake housing development to be built where an untouched wooded areas sits next to the Monon Trail just north of the county border.

“Just like that Dr. Seuss book, I’m trying to ‘speak for the trees,’ because a lot of people aren’t recognizing the value of this area,” he said. “It would be a shame if we lose this space.

There’s nothing like this around. And this is our only chance. We have to make people listen.”

Two weeks ago, Kirsh led a group of 50 fellow environmentalists and upset neighbors to hike through the natural trails surrounding the lake.

This “flash expedition” was meant to show the Carmel City Council that residents don’t want this development.

“I even swam in this lake to show people how beautiful it is,” Kirsh said. “And I didn’t even get sick or eaten by a sea monster.”

But City Councilors say that preservation of nature won’t be the deciding factor in whether to approve this development – no matter how many people show up with passion.

“Passion is great, but I have to make decisions based on logic, not passion,” said City Councilor

Luci Snyder.

The Council’s Land Use Committee voted to give the development a positive recommendation on Wednesday. Initially objections to the project were mostly due to traffic concerns, but those were resolved with a new traffic flow plan. But voting against the project just because of nature wasn’t considered by many members.

“I’m a big supporter of the parks system, but if we put a park somewhere every time the public expressed remonstrance against new home construction, we’d have nothing but parks,” City Councilor Ron Carter said.

City Councilor Rick Sharp added that the parks system could have bought the land if they wanted to.

“While Josh is a much respected member of the parks board, he’s not the spokesperson for the parks board,” he said.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he’s hopeful that a proposal can be presented soon for the city’s long-anticipated government Midtown Plan.

But some City Council members still believe any next step is distant.

The Midtown Plan is a $100-million project that would connect the Carmel City Center with the Carmel Arts & Design District with retail and residences along a remodeled Monon Trail.

The development would be a public-private partnership involving Pedcor, the company behind the City Center, and Old Town Design Group, which is responsible for most of the new homes just north of Main Street.

Brainard said there are two development proposals “about ready” to come to the council.

“The public can’t wait to see it,” he said. “They want to see the Arts and Design District and City Center connected with redevelopment. They are tired of seeing empty industrial buildings.

They want the city to be beautiful and they want to be able show off the nice downtown when friends and relatives visit. The public has been very clear about what they want.”

Although there might be a coffee shop and other stores, Brainard said he doesn’t expect a big anchor tenant such as a big recognizable restaurant. He expects it to be mostly residential with some offices.

“I don’t think they are looking at a lot of retail in the Midtown area,” he said. “We want to watch the amount of retail that we have because the two retail centers are meant to be the City Center and the Arts and Design District. We don’t want to cannibalize those two areas.”

Debate has always stalled when it comes to how much of the funding is “public” – such as tax subsidies or city-backed bonds – and how much would come from the private developers.

Some City Councilors seemed reluctant to create any new financial obligations in light of a recent report from Umbaugh & Associates that projected shortfalls of $43 million in tax increment finance (TIF) revenue over the life of city redevelopment bonds. Officials contend they have enough money to cover the shortfall from a reserve account set up from the old Parkwood TIF fund.

The Umbaugh report has sparked considerably debate that characterizes any discussion of new development projects such as Midtown.

City Councilor Rick Sharp said he interprets the report as saying the city is probably unable to begin any large new projects. He believes that the projections be hopeful in counting on so much reserve money from the Parkwood fund.

Successful appeals often decreases the amount of TIF collected.

School Board recap

Compiled by Amanda Foust

What happened: Proposed administrative reorganization for the following positions: Assistant Superintendent of Business Affairs and Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment What it means: Adjustments to these positions were presented that reflected the increased responsibility expected from these positions while remaining consistent with the compensation level of similar positions in surrounding school districts. The incentive compensation will encourage high performance and is in place of any other performance bonus for other administrators. The maximum cost of the proposal is $47,225 which has already been reallocated from other areas and will not add an additional cost.

What’s next: Approved and no further action needed

What happened: Recommendation to increase substitute teacher pay for 2014-15.

What it means: This recommendation includes $80/day for Special Education Positions and Retired CCS teachers and $70 for all other substitute positions. The total estimated cost is $18,000. However, next year plans fewer professional development days, which may produce no net cost increase due to this change.

What’s next: Approved and no further action needed.

Other News: • $9,000 was donated by the Cherry Tree Elementary bookstore to be placed in the school gift fund.

• Mohawk Trails Elementary received 71 gently used books donated by Susie Steel.

• Stephanie Patterson designated Clay Middle School as the recipients of $200 donated by the United Student Aid Funds, Inc. as a result of its Employee Philanthropy Program.

• $6,048.57 worth of pole vaulting equipment was donated by an anonymous donor to Carmel High School.

• The Carmel Green Teen Micro-Grant Program received a donation from United Way of Central Indiana of $5,097.82.

Wouldn’t it be grand to stroll casually along a city sidewalk with the melodic sounds of a string quartet or folk guitar volunteerism hanging in the air?

Imagine that leisurely pedestrian stroll taking place on a beautiful, crisp Sunday afternoon in Carmel’s uptown neighborhood. Located just north of the Carmel Arts & Design District, where around every corner you will discover another genre of music performed live from a homeowner’s front porch. Soon, you will not have to imagine.

But before presenting the who, what, when and where of what promises to be another great option for your Sept. 14 afternoon, read on for the real motive of this column.

Behind every good Carmel festival is an essential group of Carmel festival volunteers. That is right. This column is the official call out to become part of the Carmel PorchFest Inaugural Volunteer Dream Team.

Of course, when you raise your hand and step forward to say, “I will help,” you will receive an official designer Carmel PorchFest T-Shirt. But more important than what you get, it is what you give that I hope will motivate you to take action.

One great example of a what-can-I-give per-

son willing to commit her Sunday afternoon to the cause is Sue Westermeier. A dedicated and reliable skilled volunteer, she simply said, “Do you need help?” My reply was of course and without hesitation she said, “I will be there and I will see if my daughter is available.”

Emily, I hope you are in town on Sept. 14 and can help us out. (No pressure.) And I hope enough people reading this column will also volunteer to assist with transporting musicians to porches, supporting guests at information booths, managing stages, setting up and the dreaded tear down. Notice, I did NOT mention trash pickup.

Carmel PorchFest is a family-friendly event that is free and totally open to the public. The focal points will be a variety of musical acts ranging from acoustic to electric, and solo to ensemble; all agreeing to perform without compensation. The inaugural event will be Sept. 14 from 1 to 5 p.m.

To let me know you are interested in volunteering, send an e-mail to Jeff@gooddaycarmel. com. Good day, Carmel!

Support for the Lifeline Law Commentary by PJ Gibson, CHS Varsity Men’s Soccer player I am a CHS senior varsity soccer player. On Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m., the Carmel High School Men’s Varsity Soccer team will play in a Charity Make Good Decisions / Brett Finbloom memorial soccer game.

The game will be one of the regular season varsity soccer games, and will be promoted as a “Pack the House Night,” as it is on a Friday night with no home football game scheduled.

Here is some background about why we are having this game. Three years ago, as I was trying out for the Freshman Team, I met a Senior Varsity player named Brett Finbloom. Although I never got to know Brett well, he was always smiling and joking around with his teammates, and I looked up to him.

The next year, about a week before he was to leave for college, Brett Finbloom, our former teammate, died of alcohol poisoning at the age of 18. Brett had gone to a party where a lot of underage drinkers were drinking too much, too quickly. Many thought that Brett needed medical help, but all of them waited to call 911 because they were either drunk and not thinking straight or were afraid of getting arrested for underage drinking. While people at the party scattered, someone did call 911. But it was too late.

The Indiana Lifeline Law had been in effect for just over a month, and no one at the party knew

Submitted photo

about it or Brett might be alive today. The law states that minors cannot be charged with underage drinking if they call for help and stay and assist authorities with determining what happened.

This year, on our Pack the House night, we will be promoting the Indiana Lifeline Law and Making Good Decisions. The Indiana Lifeline Law encourages minors to: Call 911. Stay. Cooperate.

And Save a Life. Making Good Decisions means encouraging your friends and yourself to make good choices so that no one is ever in a position to have to call 911 to save someone’ s life.

There will also be Indiana Lifeline Law field banners, and both Senator Jim Merritt (who wrote the bill that became the Indiana Lifeline Law) and Mrs. Finbloom, Brett’s mom, will speak at halftime.

As seniors on the varsity soccer team here at CHS, we are the final group of players that knew Brett. It is important that new students can learn from what happened to him.

A look into the life of Doreen Squire Ficara

By Dawn Pearson • new@currentincarmel.com It would take an entire edition of Current, and maybe more, to list Doreen Squire Ficara’s activities and what she has done for Carmel since she moved here in July 1983.

But if one were to write the “Cliff’s Notes” version on Ficara, this would be the summary: She’s 87 years young, a mother of five, a grandmother of 14, a sister, an aunt and a philanthropic leader.

Her life has spanned from 1930s war-torn England to present-day Carmel.

Ficara’s support of the arts has helped put Carmel on the map ,according to many on the Carmel Arts

Council, and she has recently retired from her position as the executive director of the council.

Not knowing what would occupy her time or how her days would be, Ficara has settled into retirement and has begun enjoying her time that is no longer filled with council meetings, going to the office, writing books that support the arts in Carmel, receiving awards for her volunteerism, or getting Carmel its official Guinness World Record recognition.

“I actually can direct my life, and get up when I want, and do what I want to, but I’m going to be working again,” Ficara said. “I’ll definitely find myself working again.”

She has the ideas, drive and desire to keep on working, so she can begin a new chapter in her life. And there have been many chapters in this proper Englishwoman’s interesting life.

“Maybe I’ll start teaching executive etiquette at the dining table,” she said. “But for today I have brass to polish.”

She has many interests to occupy her time. Big, vibrant, colorful flowers and plants surround her home and are impeccably groomed. And her new home office is filled with many writing projects. She has many interests to occupy her time. Traveling to England every few years will be a big part of her life as it has been throughout the years where she antiques in the villages and small towns and visits other countries with her childhood and school friend Barbara Shields.

“I will also vising my sister, Myrtle, and brotherin-law, Gordon, in Wales and her brother, Ronald, in Churchdown, England,” she said. “I have a lot of grandchildren (she ha 10) and great-grandchildren (she has 14) that I want to spend time with too.”

Her life could be a novel.

Born Oct. 24, 1927 in Devonshire, England, she grew up in a place that she has found memories of, and still visits, to stay in touch with her childhood friends. She is a survivor of World War II. “On the night of May 2, 1942, my school, Exeter, Devon, was bombed by the Germans,” she said. “We all survived but had to flee and became refugees for the time being.”

Her volunteerism and strong work ethnic began during the war. She landed a job with Lloyds Bank and volunteered on the weekends for the American Red Cross and met her future husband.

“I met my husband at the Donut Dugout, where the American Red Cross was set-up to help during the war,” she said. “After the war I flew to America on Jan. 8, 1948, where my fiancé met me and took me to his home in New Jersey. It was a culture shock for me.”

September 3, 2014

COMMUNITY She worked and raised her children mostly alone since her husband traveled a lot and wasn’t home very often. For 20 years of her life she lived in Woodbury, N.J.,, working for many companies.

In 1970 the Ficara family moved to Indianapolis, serendipitously to a neighborhood named Devonshire, like her beloved homeland. She continued raising her children before moving the Carmel in 1993.

“It was here that I got divorced, finally, and very happy, that I began volunteering again,” she said.

And according to her biography in a book she authored about the Carmel Arts Council’s 20th Anniversary, she quickly immersed herself in volunteering wherever the need arose and in July 1994 she became executive director of the Carmel Arts Council.

In Sept. 1999, she earned a Guinness World Record for the world’s smallest children’s art gallery, which she said is her favorite project completed as the executive director of the council.

The record certifies: “The Carmel Arts Council’s Children’s Art Gallery in in Carmel, Indiana, USA is the smallest children’s art gallery in in the world, measuring 15 feet and 4 inches long by 9 feet 5 inches wide with over 50 pieces of art lining the walls of the one room gallery.”

Last year was the council’s 20th anniversary and the community praised Ficara for her dedication to the arts and the council’s mission which is; “It is the mission of the Carmel Arts Council to encourage and promote the arts for all ages through leadership, financial and volunteer support in order to nourish a vibrant culture in the Carmel community.”

Labor of love

FROM THE BACKSHOP Liberal hypocrisy is at it again A lot of things make us shake our heads, and it’s probably the same with you. This time it’s hypocrisy from none other than ultragenius investor Warren Buffett. You may recall, Buffett, one of President Barack Obama’s “core economic advisors, ” jumped on the president’s tax-fairness bandwagon. In fact, in 2011, the White House, in its zeal to raise taxes, named a policy the “Buffett Rule.” It was written to prohibit the “wealthy” from claiming myriad (but still legal) tax breaks. Buffett went so far as to say he shouldn’t be paying a lower tax rate than his secretary is paying. Fast forward to today: Buffett and his company, Berkshire Hathaway, are helping to finance Burger King’s acquisition of Canada-based Tim Horton’s for a reported $12.5 billion. The deal will allow Burger King to reincorporate in Canada, and, theoretically, lower its tax bill. This move, more commonly referred to as tax inversion, has been heavily criticized by the White House in the past, calling it an “unpatriotic tax loophole.”

Remember that? Buffett’s company says it will pay the U.S. corporate tax rate on any income it receives from this deal. However, if the corporation’s new tax rate is lower as a result of this deal, and all things being equal, Buffett will earn more than if this company was domiciled in the U.S. Even though he says he’ll pay the U.S. rate, it will be against a larger number as a result of the potential savings in taxes.

Bottom line, he makes more money because of the new tax structure. As usual, the liberals just love rules that apply to others, but never to themselves.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Generally true Commentary by Terry Anker With the recent if-not-surprising revelation that perennial candidate Joe Hogsett has set out to pursue his desire to become the chief executive officer of the City of Indianapolis, political pundits and media outlets (hungry for the competition and likely, for the millions of dollars that will be spent on campaign ads) are ecstatic. And for many average citizens, Hogsett may bring a greater competition to the field and therefore accomplish a better outcome – whoever may prove victorious.

With the onslaught of parlor talk about this candidate or that comes a wave of tiresome speculation about the political demographic of a community. Indianapolis is a Democrat town. What does this mean? Indiana is a Republican state. The identical interrogatory is presented. Can a geographic area be a member of a political party?

Certainly, this highly literal interpretation is a little silly. The wags no doubt are referring to the historical proclivity of a group to vote a certain way. They assess the race, education level and

other factors to “determine” a likely vote and ascribe the outcome of elections based upon the data.

But in determining that one group or another is not capable of voting outside of a stereotype is a disappointing dismissal of free will. Powerful and entrenched leaders often stray from the electorate and pay the ultimate political price for it. Other times, upstarts mount stunningly successful outsider efforts and thus ascend to high office. American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes is attributed as saying that “no generalization is wholly true, not even this one.”

But when generalizations are often enough true, must not we account for them in our reasoning? If it is foolhardy to dismiss the reality of a latent political bias, is it equally irresponsible to ignore the weight of a myriad of other factors?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.

– Horace

It’s 3:59 a.m. I’m sitting on the couch in Chicago talking with one of my brothers-inlaw while his wife, my youngest humor sister, is grimacing in pain next to me. She’s in labor with her first baby, and trying to decide whether or not it’s time to go to the hospital. Watching her clutch the Dammit Doll I gave her as she mumbles some choice curse words tells me it probably is.

I’m tired and my head is throbbing. I arrived around seven o’clock last night after a full day of teaching and a long drive through a severe thunderstorm and a solid hour of Windy City rush-hour traffic. I still have several appointments to cancel and reschedule, a carpooling duty to push off on a fellow mom, and oh yes, this column to finish and submit. It was due about six hours ago. I raced out of the house so fast I failed to bring a change of clothing, though I did remember my sound machine and sleep mask. Not that I’ll be getting much sleep.

Despite the hour, despite the headache, and despite the stress of reorganizing my working mom’s end-of-the-week hectic schedule, there’s no place I’d rather be. This is my thing.

Of my four sisters, five sisters-in-law, and a handful of good friends, I’ve been able to participate in almost all of their labor experiences.

Not the actual births – I don’t need to see those horror shows again – but the hours and hours leading up to the big moment. The time spent soothing and comforting, retrieving ice chips, criticizing mean nurses and stupid doctors, Facebooking dilation status and playing the guessing game of Baby’s ETA. I was trying to count how many hospital rooms I’d been in as an amateur doula, and I think this will be the 18th. Honest to God, if this teacher gig doesn’t pan out, I’ll probably become a labor/delivery nurse. (Or a hair stylist. They both hold great appeal for me.) I love it! Some of the best memories I have revolve around a sister or friend in labor: Another brother-in-law dressed in a gray muumuu bathrobe, a killer round of Charades with a sister doped on narcotics, and a misguided search for the nursery that resulted in the a back stairwell trapping with the dad-to-be for 45 minutes. Good times, good times.

The Dammit Doll just flew across the room and bounced off the flat screen. Guess this means it time to go. I promise to give a full report in my next article should all turn out well. Until then, here’s hoping for a healthy and safe labor and delivery, and maybe an amusing anecdote or two.

Peace out.

The lesson from Ferguson

Commentary by Carl Brizzi

As a former prosecutor, I support law enforcement and can say that most police officers are decent folks and good at their opinion jobs. The recent events in Ferguson, Mo., however, underscore a serious and growing problem of the militarization of local police forces. Neighborhoods should not be warzones; the police should not employ paramilitary equipment and tactics on its own citizens. Police officers are not occupying soldiers and should not fire tear gas into the backyards of homeowners who are exercising their First Amendment rights.

During the Clinton administration, Congress passed the “1033 Program” to pass along “surplus” military equipment to domestic law enforcement agencies. According to the Department of Defense, 8,000 agencies at all levels of government participate. Since 1997, the federal government has transferred over four billion dollars of equipment, like armored vehicles, grenade launchers and remote control robots to local police agencies. Albeit cool, none of these military weapons actually do anything to prevent crime.

And, as Ferguson evidences, it also contributes to the police appearing aloof and citizens feeling like enemy combatants.

Historically in the greater Indianapolis area, officials have agreed that the best way to prevent and deter crime is improved communication and

an intimate knowledge of the neighborhoods.

This is a concept called community policing and emphasizes collaboration and cooperation between law enforcement and citizens. This type of policing is a value system where police/prosecutors work cooperatively with citizens to resolve issues identified to specific neighborhoods. This should not be mistaken as being soft on crime.

On the contrary, community policing improves the ability of the police to catch and prosecute the bad guys because cops can’t do it alone-they need our eyes and ears.

Catching bad guys is only part of the job. An effective police force becomes problem solvers who understand the importance of taking care of the little things before they become big things.

Vandalism, truancy, abandoned vehicles and homes are all issues that affect the livability of a neighborhood. The partnership works together to improve the overall living condition. This paints a radically different visual then the images we’ve seen from Ferguson. Fergusonians don’t need tanks to fight crime – they need leaders who understand that a soldier’s mission is to engage and destroy the enemy. But a police officer’s mission is to protect and serve the community.

Carmel Palladium marks 1,000th show with Martina McBride Performance

By Tonya Burton • editorial@youarecurrent.com On her latest hit album, “Everlasting,” Martina McBride sings, “If you don’t know me by now, you will never ever know me.” No? If that’s true, it’s worth the effort to keep trying. Martina brings a brand new show to Music the Palladium on Sept. 5, marking the Palladium’s 1,000th show and Martina’s second appearance at the venue.

I spoke to her by phone on Aug. 26 and she reports this tour is different from anything she’s done before. The current show is comprised of an 11-piece band, including four horn players and three back-up singers, who are choreographed Motown style. Along with the iconic soul songs from the “Everlasting” album, the show will seamlessly blend Martina’s signature hit songs.

Martina brings a singleness of purpose to her music.

“It’s all I ever wanted to do,” she said. “I knew from an early age, maybe 5 or 6, that I could sing.” At age 7, she began singing with her father’s country band in Sharon, Kan., where she was born. In 1992, at age 26, she released “My Baby Loves Me,” which became the first of a string of hits, making her one of the most successful female country artists of all time. To date, Martina has sold more than 18 million albums which have included 20 Top 10 singles and six No. 1 hits. She has three wins as “Top Female Vocalist” from the Academy of Country Music.

This is a major accomplishment, particularly, in the current climate of country music where radio play is dominated by male “bro” bonding. It is extremely difficult to have a No. 1 hit without significant radio play, yet Martina did it. In doing so, she broke yet another historic landmark.

She is the first solo female artist to debut as No. 1 on the Top Country Albums Chart with an independently released and distributed label. Additionally, she has created her own radio show on Sirius XM Y2Kountry, playing songs she wants to play.

When asked who her musical influences were, she replied, “There’s a lot – Linda Ronstadt, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt. I liked Pat Benatar a lot, too.” I mentioned the documentary, “20 Feet From Stardom,” about phenomenally accomplished back-up singers who never broke out as solo artists. She obviously had given this some thought, as she relied quickly, “Not everyone is cut out to be a solo artist. It takes singleminded dedication … and there’s a certain fate and luck combination there too.”

When asked if she thought she’d still be making albums in her 60s, she said, “What else am I gonna do? This is what I do.”

Martina is having so much fun with this new tour. She’s added 40 dates, seven of which have already sold out. Regarding the Palladium, Martina said, “We’ve played there before and we love it. It’s a beautiful venue.”

Martina’s songs sometimes tackle serious issues, such as domestic violence, child abuse and cancer. I asked where she gets her ideas and if she sees story images in her head as she’s writing. “Sometimes I see it. Usually though, it’s a collaborative effort to bring it to life in the videos.” She reports the ideas come to her when she hears real life stories that touch her in some way.

She also likes to enjoy the happy side of life. When asked what her next project will be, Martina replied, “I want to do an album of originals next.

After that, maybe some gospel, acoustic and standards. Right now, I’m just having fun with this tour. Usually, I’m a homebody, but this tour is different – it’s just plain fun. We’re all having such a good time.”

Major sponsors support St.Vincent

By Tonya Burton • news@currentzionsville.com The St.Vincent Foundation Golf Outing, held at Crooked Stick Golf Course in Carmel on Aug. 25, marked the second of a trilogy of Music fundraisers held by the foundation.

The Trilogy of Events, which includes Peyton Manning’s Children’s Hospital Celebration of Caring Gala (held in April 2014), the golf outing, and the upcoming Saks Fifth Avenue Key to the Cure, raises approximately $100 million each year.

These cornerstone events provide much needed support to Peyton Manning’s Children’s Hospital, Medical Education, and St.Vincent Cancer Care.

Sue Ann Gilroy, former Indiana Secretary of State, is executive director/vice president of development for the St.Vincent Foundation and participated in the outing. The format was a shotgun-start tournament in which all groups of players tee off simultaneously from different holes. This is a popular format for charity events, as everyone starts and finishes at the same time. This particular course has a reputation as one of the top 100 golf courses in the nation, according to Golf Digest and Golf Magazine.

The top three teams at the fundraiser were: First place to Northwest Radiology Network, with team members Pat Murphy, Brian Wiegel, Russ Williams and Kent Hanson. Second place went to team members from Pacers Sports and Entertainment. Third place was awarded to Bradley Associates, with team members, Skander

Other participants, among many, included: St.Vincent CEO Vincent Nalli, Archie Manning, Dr. Brian Veerkamp, Mike Barth, Ken Haupt, Julie Siegler, Rob Baker, Tom Bale, Kevin Bowers, Julie and Sam Carmichael, Kent Hansen, Bruce Gordon, Rick Wallace, Eddie White, and Linda Wilgus. Additionally, two Pacemates handed out free Pacers caps to participants. Pacers’ mascot Boomer entertained and interacted with players and guests.

that continue to multiply – can lead to more serious health concerns. Pediatricians are trained to recognize when children are not functioning as expected and can be great resources for strategizing ways to cope. Before visiting your child’s doctor, make a list of any life changes and the signs you’ve noticed. Talking with an expert who is objective – but also knows your child – can be reassuring. A pediatrician can also recommend other professionals or healthcare specialists. Referral to a specialist should not be viewed as the family’s failure to help their child cope, but rather a means to gain additional insight and strategies to successfully manage the issues.

As adults, we know stress is part of life. And while childhood is often thought of as a carefree time, children of all ages – wellness even toddlers and preschoolers – can experience stress.

Causes vary based on age and other factors, and it may actually be a combination of issues that leads to stress in children. Stress-inducing situations at school or daycare, such as moving to a new school, adjusting to a new teacher and bullying, are most common. Teenagers may be stressed about peer relationships and/or academic performance.

In children symptoms of stress can include frequent headaches or stomachaches, changes in temperament, refusing to eat or lack of appetite, difficulty sleeping and unwillingness to try new things. Because it’s often hard for kids to put their feelings into words, parents should watch for these signs, especially when life changes occur. If your child is stressed, and you can determine why, you’re in the best position to help him or her with solutions. When there’s stress within the family, such as divorce, serious illness or death, it’s important to maintain a dialogue with kids about what’s going on and how it’s affecting them and the family. It’s okay to be honest with your children and let them know if you’re sad. When you model good stress management behaviors, your children will learn how best to cope themselves.

While it’s inevitable children will have times of stress in their lives, too much stress – or worries

dispatches Three ways to keep stress away: • Take the time to step away from your work. Take a short ten minute walk. The physical distance from your desk or walk helps the body and mind relax.

• Grab a healthy snack that will fill you up like a handful of almonds. Get out from behind your desk for a few minutes and sit in the sun to soak up some Vitamin D. • Try a new yoga pose or stretch to help relax your muscles. This will help release the tension in your muscles that stress creates.

The key is to physically remove yourself from the stressor for a few minutes but not too long that it affects your productivity.

Tips to keep ‘financially fit’ Commentary by Joel Harris

The great John Wooden once said, “It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.” John Wooden was argufinance ably the best basketball coach to ever grace the hardwoods. He emphasized to his players the importance of focusing on the small details to achieve success. By focusing on the little details, he guided the UCLA basketball team to a profound 10 NCAA national championships in the 1960s and 1970s.

Focusing on small details will give you a greater opportunity to achieve success in your own financial planning. Here is a list of nine simple truths that each of us can focus on every day in our quest to become more financially fit.

Live within your means. – One of the simplest ways to become more financially fit is through the use of a budget. Yet statistics show that less than 40 percent of American households utilize a working budget on a monthly basis. If you’re perplexed at the end of the month because your bank account is low, take the time to track your expenses for the next three months. If you’re married, set up regular “budget meetings” with your spouse to track your progress. Who knows … maybe your marriage will even strengthen because of it.

to cause chaos in our lives. Secondly, Murphy always seems to have the worst timing when he pays his unwelcome visits. Part of a complete financial plan is having the means to boot Murphy out the door without him inflicting pain that can last for years. Try your best to set aside at least three months’ worth of living expenses to pay Murphy off in cash vs. paying him on credit.

Inflation is the silent killer of money.

Plan in terms of “tomorrow’s” dollars vs. “today’s” dollars. – When people start thinking about how much money they will need in retirement, most will plan based on the value of a dollar today vs. the value of a dollar in 15 to 20 years. Inflation is the silent killer of money; especially for those who live on fixed incomes. To put inflation into perspective, a gallon of regular gas was around $1.16 in 1990. Fast forward to today and gas averages around $3.50 per gallon. That is an average cost increase of 4.7 percent per year. It is imperative to factor inflation into your financial and retirement planning because food, energy, and health care costs will continue to rise in the future.

The nose knows decorating

e l zz

Commentary by Vicky Earley

A slight whiff that transports you through space and time to your childhood is enough cement an appreciation for the decorating power smell.

According to Rachel Herz, author of The Scent of Desire, our sense of smell is thousands of times more sensitive than any other of our senses and recognition of smell is visceral and immediate.

Other senses like touch and taste must travel a distance via neurons before reaching the spinal cord and then the brain. The olfactory system has a direct pathway providing a powerful link to the brain … specifically the limbic system and amygdala, the area where emotional memories are stored.

There are smells that we find appealing in the home. Not all are floral in nature. While most find the smell of smoking unappealing, some might find the aroma of a pipe quite pleasurable. Many enjoy the smell of leather while others find the odor of new carpet enjoyable. These smells all represent a pleasurable experience and allow us to relive the feeling.

But wait! Oh no! What if the smells evoke unpleasant memories? What if the source is a chemical source? What if the source triggers migraines, sinusitis, and breathing disorders?

Chemicals compounds floating in the air we breathe is far too common in American homes.

LET US HELP YOU

We are inundated with television commercials that repeatedly tell us that our homes are not clean without some type of “freshener” plugged into an outlet. And leave us with self-doubt about our surroundings.

The key is essential oil in creating an ambient, yet safe, fragrance in the home.

To ensure safe, clean indoor air, burn 100 percent pure beeswax candles with cotton wicks that are fragranced with essential oils.

Instead of an aerosol room spray, use a drop or two of pure essential oils and distilled water to make a spritzer and mist the air.

Ruins at Dura Europos near the Euphrates River (Photo by Don Knebel)

Early Syrian model of tolerance Commentary by Don Knebel

The last place most people would expect to find evidence of religious tolerance is near the Syrian border with Iraq. But that travel is where I found it during a visit to Dura Europos in late 2010.

Macedonian Greeks built Dura Europos in 303 B.C. atop a steep cliff 300 feet above the west bank of the Euphrates River. Despite its natural protections, the city fell to Persians in 113 B.C. Romans then conquered the city in about 160 A.D., making it a base for their military and commercial operations along the Euphrates. The Roman army and immigrants brought religious beliefs and languages from around the Empire to Dura Europos, making it an early melting pot. In about 256 A.D. Persians again captured the city and deported its residents. Earthen embankments built F. C. Tucker Company’s

in an unsuccessful attempt to protect the city collapsed, covering some of the buildings. Sand and mud eventually covered the rest and the city remained hidden for hundreds of years.

Archaeologists began uncovering Dura Europos in 1920 after the British army stumbled onto some ancient paintings. What the archaeologists found was comparable to Pompeii. The sand and mud had stopped time in the third century.

Well-preserved wall paintings, now in museums in Syria and the United States, enabled identification of the original purpose of many buildings. A house built in about 235 was used as a church, with a painting of Jesus and Peter walking on water the oldest surviving representation of Jesus. Its baptistery is the oldest one in the world.

A large synagogue with 28 colorful paintings of Biblical scenes was dated to about 240, making it the oldest known synagogue outside Israel.

Sixteen temples and a Mithraeum honored Greek, Roman, Persian and Canaanite gods.

During the third century, as Christians were being persecuted in Rome, worshippers in the house-church in Dura Europos lived peaceably amid temples to Adonis, Artemis and Ba’al. As anti-Semitism was poisoning relations between Christians and Jews elsewhere, an impressive synagogue was being built near the church. We can all learn about interfaith tolerance and cooperation from ancient ruins near the Euphrates River.

Master bath remodel: Eliminating large garden tub Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BATHROOM: The owners of this home in the Springmill Crossing subdivision in Carmel had lived with blueprint for their master bathroom improvement for 24 years. “We decided to remodel our dated master bathroom after we identified a mold issue behind the shower tiles. Knowing that the bathroom needed updated for resale, we decided to remodel the whole space so we can enjoy it until that day finally comes.”

ELIMINATING LARGE GARDEN TUB: Eliminating wasted space was a goal for the project.

“The master bath had a really bad layout. The only purpose the large garden tub served was to collect dust. We never used it and it took up too much space. Also the enclosed toilet and shower room made the bathroom feel cramped.” The homeowners opted to remove the garden tub and reconfigure the bathroom layout to make it more functional.

SPACE PLANNING: The shower was relocated from the enclosed room to the previous garden tub area. The wall separating the toilet room and main bath was removed to open up the space to the rest of the bathroom. A new half wall was framed by the toilet for privacy and a linen closet was installed for added storage.

COORDINATING FINISHES: “After years of scouring through endless inspirational photos,

before & after

we ended up with a Pottery Barn type vision for our dream bathroom. We had already purchased the vanity from Pottery Barn and sought the help from our designer to complete the final look. “New vanity light fixtures in a chrome finish were installed to coordinate with the salvaged mirrors, glass shelves and towel bars.”

RESULT: Removing the existing tub and decking left room for the expanded shower. Although the overall footprint was not expanded, the room felt much more spacious with the reconfiguration. “We love the openness of the bathroom the most. The natural light makes the space feel so much bigger and airy.”
