Wine dinner for the dogs

Commentary by Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The Humane Society of Hamilton County wants to find homes for all of their dogs. But some pooches pull at your heartstrings a little more than charity others.

Jade was one of those dogs.

The black pit bull-mix had her teeth pulled out by previous owners who forced her to breed. She had tumors all over her body due to breast cancer.

Humane Society Executive Director Rebecca Stevens fought hard to find a home for her, letting her sleep by her desk in her office. She found money for Jade’s surgery to remove the tumors, but finding a home took time.

Now, Steven and Beth Meyer, an Indianapolis couple, has fallen in love with this survivor.

“She is the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen,” Beth said with a laugh. “When I first met her I was concerned because she didn’t seem that interested in us, but now she is my shadow. I knew she wasn’t going to have much of a chance. We’re happy we found her.”

Jade gets to lounge around on their couches – her favorite thing to do – and be part of a family.

And she might not have been available for adoption had she not been brought to the Hamilton County shelter. This shelter is no-kill, which means they only euthanize cats or dogs in extreme cases. This is unusual and puts a lot of extra onus to find money and space to

accommodate these creatures.

There’s something inspiring about an organization fighting for the “hard-sell” cases.

I didn’t get my dog Alfie, a 2-year-old Shiba Inu, at a shelter, but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand the importance. My Facebook page is probably 90 percent photos of my dog. I spoil him. I dress him in a Colts jersey on game day and take him to doggie day care.

That’s why it breaks my heart to see people neglect such animals. If I didn’t live alone, I’d adopt a few shelter dogs and cats to be friends with Alfie.

That’s why I want to promote a great event at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant, located in the Carmel Arts & Design District. On Oct. 21, the family-owned operation will host a six-course wine dinner to raise money for the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

Attendees will receive wines from Crossroads Vintners, paired with each dish. Past wine dinners have included such gourmet offerings as sea bass, pumpkin tortellini, osso buco, lobster ravioli and roasted pork.

This fundraiser is officially vetted by the shelter and a portion of the proceeds is guaranteed to support these furry friends. In addition, there will be door prizes and art available for sale to raise even more funds for the organization.

A reception starts at 6:30 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m.

The cost is $90 per person and tickets can be purchased over the phone or in person. For more information, call 564-4790.

Contestants must design their virtual benches using CAD (computer design software) and then submit their designs to the Design for CHS group.

Building a bench

By Joseph Knoop • news@currentincarmel.com Two Carmel High School students are organizing a competition for local designers and architecture enthusiasts to build education the city’s next big casual meeting place.

The Build-a-Bench contest, organized by Carmel High School student group Design for CHS, begins Oct.13 and ends Dec. 21. According to the group’s organizers, the competition is designed to counter rising civil unrest by encouraging conversation between people of different backgrounds and cultures.

Benches, which will be judged by Design for CHS co-founders Vikas Maturi and Alex Yom, as well as Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, will be evaluated on their ability to fulfill the competition’s goal. Creativity, aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, and a general “fit” with Carmel’s culture will also factor into judging.

The idea formed after both students met with Brainard over the summer to discuss potential

ways to improve the city.

Both Yom and Maturi have plans to contact local architecture firms for assistance in judging design, practicality, and required materials.

“I really think the competition is meant to bring people together,” Maturi said. “As society modernizes, we’re often in our own bubble. We’re looking for an interesting design that will inspire conversation.”

Design for CHS was originally founded to design measures to counter social problems, including bicycle safety and water wastage.

A winning selection of one to three benches will be selected and constructed around Carmel.

Yom said at least one location has been selected, at the Carmel Rotary block.

The contest is open to legal residents of any age in Carmel or the Indianapolis Metro area.

Winners will get the chance to work alongside the City of Carmel and/or local engineering or architecture firms to construct their creation.

Making wishes come time

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com Don’t want to wait until spring to celebrate Mardi Gras? Then the Little Wish Foundation’s Mardi Groctober Fest Oct. 12 is charity just the ticket. The event will raise money to help the nonprofit continue to provide “little wishes” for children battling cancer. It will feature a Cajun shrimp boil, Andouille sausage sandwiches and hot dogs, as well as jazz bands and a kids’ area with games and mask making.

“With the popularity of jazz, we thought Indy could use a shrimp boil in the fall to bring a new spin on fall events,” said Little Wish founder, Liz Niemiec.” Delicious food with some good music makes a perfect combo.”

Mardi Groctober is 2 to 7 p.m. at the Indianapolis Professional Firefighters Local 416 Union Hall, at 748 Massachusetts Ave. in downtown Indianapolis. The use of the hall is being donated to Little Wish by Local 416 Treasurer Jason Hansman.

“When approached by Little Wish we couldn't in good faith charge for the use of our union hall for such a good cause,” Hansman said.

“Firefighters are showing their support by donating the venue and we couldn't be more thankful or touched by their generosity,” Niemiec said.

Little Wish Foundation, which is based in Hamilton Coounty, was founded four years ago by the

now 21-year-old Niemiec after a teacher’s son – Max – died of a rare form of kidney cancer. All Max wanted before he died was a puppy – which his parents gave him. On the way home from his funeral Niemiec told her mom she wanted to start a foundation to make sure every child battling cancer was able to have their own little wish granted.

Tickets for Mardi Groctober are $15 for adults, $5 for kids ages 6 to 11, and free for kids 5-yearsold and under. For more information or to purchase tickets in advance, call 809-7653 or email littlewish@comcast.net.

Moffett takes Sunrise

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

For more than 150 years, the Hinshaw family has owned a piece of land near 96th Street in the southern part of development Carmel. Recently, the Sunrise Golf Course served patrons for about 25 years until it closed in October.

Now a new owner – Justin Moffett’s Old Town Design Group has purchased the property – but there promises to be features to honor the land’s history.

“When the old Sunrise golf course became available, we truly believed that made for an excellent location,” Moffett said. “It has great history and we want to honor that.”

Moffett’s company plans to build single and multi-family units on the site’s 77 acres at 9876 Westfield Blvd. but plans on dedicating a substantial portion of the land to park space, including a memorial dedicated to Vera Hinshaw, one of the longtime owners who died on Sept. 1, 2013, at age 88. Vera loved the golf course and it was after her death that her family decided to sell the property.

Since the housing development is so close to the Monon Trail, developers worked closely with Carmel Clay Parks to make sure the area was something they could be excited about. Bike and walking paths are expected with a wildflower garden and an old wind pump honoring the area’s original use.

Old Town Design Group is known for cottage craft-style homes that are often called “right sized” because they give homeowners bigger homes instead of sprawling yards. Much of that philosophy will be applied to this developed which is described as “cozy but comfortable.”

One difference though is the addition of multifamily units that will maintain the feel of customhome living. Moffett said this is something that isn’t being done in Carmel right now.

Many of the homes will appeal to emptynesters with single-story direct-access dwellings with private garages that lead right into the homes. Prices are expected in the $350,000 to $450,000 range to start.

The two major concerns expected are drainage and traffic. Moffett said he has anticipated both reactions and has worked proactively to make sure these issues are addressed in planning.

The Foundation for Autism Resources, a federally recognized nonprofit, connects families in need with services for their children on the autism spectrum.

On behalf of FAR I would like to invite you to our second annual fundraiser TAPAS WINE & JAZZ at the beautiful Broadmoor Country Club.

The Carmel Redevelopment Commission has accepted a bid for the long-vacant bulding, which formerly housed Shapiro’s, for $2.1 million from Pedcor, a developer in the government area.

Pedcor, the company also behind the Carmel City Center and the Indiana Design Center, will pay $1 million cash and forgive $1.1 million in debt that the city owes to Pedcor. CRC Director Corrie Meyer will recommend accepting the bid at their meeting Oct. 1 and the commissioners approved it. City councilor Said the sale does not have to be approved by them.

It’s likely that the building will be occupied by multiple tenants instead of one large restaurant.

Meyer said the city and Pedcor both would like to have something in the food service industry, such as a merchant that sells wine, cheese, meats and high-end liquors.

“By continuing to have food industry retail there we can diversify the types of businesses offered in the area,” Meyer said.

The CRC had another offer from an undisclosed developer who wanted to turn the building into a bank. The bid was for the same amount of money but all in cash.

Meyer said the CRC was impressed with Pedcor’s track record of attracting quality tenants and really liked the idea of keeping the building in

the food service industry.

Some city councilors debated whether it’s better to receive debt relief or cash in a property sale, especially since you could always spend the cash to pay off debt.

“All things being equal, you’d say the higher bid would be more favorable, but they are the same and one of them has debt forgiveness which is a heck of a deal,” city council president Eric Seidensticker said. “You really have to look at the terms of the debt.”

Meyer said the CRC isn’t as cash strapped as some might think. While liquidity is always a concern, she said a recent partial lawsuit settlement in a case the CRC made against a developer could net the CRC six figures worth of revenue.

The settlement hasn’t been signed yet so the

specific number could change.

“We get cash and we get debt relief so it’s win-win,” she said. “Where we are at in terms of liquidity, we are able to be aggressive with this deal.”

Yet, some think they are many unanswered questions.

“That’s another deal that kind of makes you sniff the air and wonder what’s going on there,” city councilor Rick Sharp said. “I have an agency that admits it is cash strapped but it accepts this deal. Why would you take this deal? It doesn’t make any sense so it raises my suspicions. I also am concerned because we haven’t seen all of the details. It hasn’t been transparent.”

Sharp said the deals were equal that it would have made sense to reject both proposals and then open up negotiations with both parties to try to get the highest offer possible. He said he also wonders if there had been a recent appraisal and said he’d be interested to look at the mortgage.

City councilor Ron Carter said he looked at the deal and there’s no scandal to uncover. He said it’s great to get this building occupied and he doesn’t understand what evidence these suspicions are based on.

“Nothing smells right to a certain four people on council,” he said. “The CRC has done a great job and followed all of this to the letter of the law. We should all be happy they made this deal.”

CRC to ask for municipal bonds

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Redevelopment Commission has presented its plan to help finish construction of Phase II of Carmel City Center. And it’s posGovernment sible the plan could include the city borrowing more money.

The CRC has submitted a request to create new tax increment finance districts in the City Center area so the TIF money can eventually be used to help pay bonds to support new development. The new TIF districts were approved by the CRC and the Carmel Plan Commission and now will go to the Carmel City Council for approval.

While it’s early in the process, CRC Director Corrie Meyer said a key part of the plan which includes at least seven new buildings in “the heart of our city” is constructing a parking garage to support the new tenants. She said that nothing is final but currently the CRC suggests paying for the garage through municipally backed bonds.

Meyer said the garage – which could cost anywhere from $14 to $17 million – would be paid for by creating the new TIF districts. She said while the city would face the risk of paying off the debt, she said the risk has been minimized by setting up several layers of protection.

One layer is setting up a reserve account for excess TIF to help pay for any other shortfalls. The other important protection is a guarantee from Pedcor, the developer of the project, to help pay for any shortfalls.

“We are not drawing from other TIF areas to fund this project,” she said. “That is key. We have spent a lot

DISPATCHES

of time making sure this development is self-sustaining and that there’s enough revenue to support this project because we have other debt commitments we have to honor.”

Meyer said Pedcor could take out the bonds itself, but a private company wouldn’t receive the same interest rate that the city receives. The savings in interest rate can help pay for other improvements, she said.

City Councilor Ron Carter said helping finance the parking garage is a fulcrum to achieving the proper density that Carmel leaders crave for downtown.

“You don’t want to walk by large expansive blacktop parking lots in an urban area,” he said. “It hurts our walkability and you don’t get the same return on investment with that density.”

City Councilor Rick Sharp said he had not seen the proposal, but when he was told that the CRC would ask for municipal bonds, he literally erupted with laughter.

“Is she aware where the City of Carmel’s credit line is right now?” he said. “Where is this revenue stream going to come from?”

Sharp said he suspects that the possibility of a special benefits tax will have to be used as a back-up to secure these bonds.

Carter said this is a safe proposal.

“Corrie has explained this in depth and they try to look at any objections that any city councilors might have,” he said. “I don’t have any problem with this being municipally backed. They have the guarantees in there so it doesn’t present any risk to the city.”

The just-concluded, 17th-annual Carmel International Arts Fair was a huge success with a ton of cool things to do.

Now, I’m not an art guy - unless you include cutting hair and making people look better at Main St. Barber Shop - but I decided to go out and take a look around at all the excitement and see what it had to offer. There was plenty.

First I took some snapshots of my favorite images, photos of the outdoors, and the display was magnificent, to say the least. I just stood there looking at every detail of God’s work through the eyes of one of His artists, Gary Love, and only wish I could have bought every photo.

There were thousands of smiling faces as I walked through the crowd to check out all the sculptures, paintings, woodwork, jewelry and crafts and artisans.

I also stopped by one of my favorite artists here in Indy, and that was Sun King Brewery for a frosty! (There also was good food available … as if I need to stuff my gut more.)

I started out not liking this event when it moved to the Arts & Design District, because it closes the road and slows the barber shop down. Still, as I walked and enjoyed myself I figured it was worth it to see all these families having fun and enjoying works through the eyes of artists.

I highly recommend taking your family to the 18th annual show. You will not be disappointed, especially the great music like Carmel’s very own Phone Club and Barometer Soup, who rock it every time all the time.

Trinity Free Clinic in Carmel will hold an open house in celebration of its 15-year anniversary the weekend of Oct. 11-12. charity The clinic will allow visitors to see how the clinic operates and ask questions of the staff, the entirety of which is comprised of more than 600 active volunteers.

Such volunteers include licensed dentists, nurses and pharmacists.

Trinity Free Clinic will have staff, volunteers, and board members present throughout the day to answer questions and give tours.

Director Dina Ferchmin said she hopes the open house will encourage Carmel residents to volunteer their own services.

“It adds to the dignity of our patients,” Ferchmin said. “A lot of our patients aren’t used to being treated so nicely.”

The clinic has seen its fair share of unique patients, including refugees from the Middle East and the physically disabled, Ferchmin added.

Two months ago, the clinic received a woman with a detached retina, causing partial blindness in one eye. Without insurance, the woman’s only hope was the unlikely services of a volunteer surgeon. With the clinic’s assistance, coupled with a generous donation and a willing surgeon, the woman was able to receive a low-cost surgery, restoring her eyesight.

The patient went on to open a baked goods store and regularly provides the clinic with food, Ferchmin said.

“One of our biggest goals is to encourage community awareness,” Medical Operations Director Cindy Love said. “You don’t have to go overseas to serve on mission trips. There are people in your own backyard that can benefit.”

Trinity Free Clinic, at 1045 West 146th St. in Carmel, also provides such specialty services as a women’s clinic and pediatric care.

The open house will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 11 and from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Oct.12.

Experience love at Trinity Commentary by Jeff Worrell When stepping through the front door, it appears to be like any other modern, medical facility. A large waiting room volunteerism with children’s toys in the corner, rows of comfortable chairs and a pleasant person behind the window waiting to assist.

The bricks and mortar are the first indication any visitor would have that this is no ordinary health care facility headquartered on the campus of a church. But once on the other side of the front desk, it becomes abundantly clear that every effort has been made to provide the best medical and dental care that money can buy; or not buy.

The Trinity Free Clinic is celebrating its 15th anniversary of providing free medical services to the uninsured and underinsured of Hamilton County. The building which houses the clinic is relatively new and gorgeous. Clinic Director Dina Ferchmin said, “We are big into treating every patient with dignity and love here. Our facilities display dignity and our volunteers provide love.”

On Oct. 12, you can attend their open house from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and experience the love and dignity yourself. Tours and an opportunity to meet some of the volunteers involved with the ministry will be on hand. Professionally baked treats will be ready to eat, provided by a former patient who now owns a thriving business called Healthy Treats.

The concept for a free medical clinic in one of the wealthiest counties in the Midwest was the notion of former Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church Pastor Msg. John Duncan. Originally, it was conceived to serve the Hispanic population. On opening day, 15 people showed up. To date, the clinic has treated more than 16,000 patients with a mix of 32 percent Hispanic, 49 percent Caucasian and 7 percent African American.

The clinic covers the gap or people who don’t make enough to qualify for the Affordable Care Act but make too much to qualify for the Healthy Indiana Plan. Ferchmin said the Healthy Indiana Plan is currently not accepting any new enrollees. People who are between jobs and a growing number of refugees from the Middle East make up the remaining referral source for patients.

There are more than 600 active volunteers who staff the clinic. It takes all disciplines of medical personnel as well as non-medical folks who handle paperwork and other clinic responsibilities. Volunteers do not come and go, but stick with the clinic because as Ferchmin put it, “People want to make a difference. They can achieve that feeling here.”

For 23-year-old Lauren Stokes of Carmel, what started as a gap year project between undergraduate and medical recognition school has quickly turned into an experience that is impacting her future career as a doctor. Stokes is a volunteer with Mercy Volunteer Corps. For the next year she will work in Savannah, Ga., at St. Mary’s Health Center, a free health clinic for those who don’t qualify for government benefits but still can’t afford health insurance.

“My time here has reinforced the importance of primary care and the many barriers people face when trying to obtain access to health care.

You never really know what a person is facing when they come into the clinic or what they have lived through,” Stokes said. “We strive to treat every person that walks into the clinic with compassion and respect and give them the tools they need to take care of themselves.”

Stokes, a Carmel High School graduate, received her degree in biochemistry and molecular biology in May from Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn.

“During college I also took classes on health psychology and health equity. In these classes we talked about the complexity of health care including social determinants of health,” she said. “Going into my gap year I knew that I wanted some real-life experience in the health care

field where I could witness first-hand the things I had been learning about in these classes. This is what led me to Mercy Volunteer Corps.”

Mercy Volunteer Corps was founded in 1978 by the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas as a lay ministry working to address the needs of people who are poor and marginalized. Since 1978, MVC has placed more than 900 women and men in more than 140 different service sites in 24 states,

South America, and Central America.

“We work to engage our volunteers in a mission that is greater than themselves, a mission that recognizes the value and dignity of each person they meet throughout their time as an MVC volunteer,” said Elizabeth MacNeal, Communication Specialist with MVC. “Our purpose in doing this is to cultivate future leaders and advocates for people who are economically disadvantaged, sick, and uneducated. Our hope is that our volunteers will live and work in solidarity and community with these people not just for their year of service but throughout their lives.”

MacNeal said the opportunity for volunteers to “live in community with other volunteers is a unique aspect of MVC.” “Living in community provides volunteers with an environment that cultivates discussion based on their volunteer experiences,” she said. “In particular, community members engage in spirituality nights as well as events with the larger Mercy Community.”

While Savannah is a beautiful city and a big tourist attraction, Stokes said many live in extreme poverty beyond the borders of the historic district. She said she believes St. Mary’s offers a unique service to those residents with its holistic approach to health care.

“In addition to the nurse practitioners that guide each patient’s medical care, every patient has the opportunity to see a social worker and health educator,” Stokes said.

Peace out for wine

Commentary by Jason Peek

Something new and interesting has developed in town and it’s the Peace Water Winery.

Opened on Sept. 19, this laidnew biz back Napa Valley-based winery is a sure hit in Carmel. At 37 W. Main St. in the Arts & Design District, this winery offers 10 different styles for tasting by glass or bottle and if you’re a diehard wino you can join the “Peace Posse” and even have awesome wine delivered to your home. This place is designed to be a relaxing, non-stuffy environment in a laidback, funky place.

Owners Scott and Laura Burton along with their eight children operate the business and they give 50 percent of the profits to the eight charities that they list on their “Giving Wall.” Plus, they have decorated the place based on family and fun and look forward to serving you foods that enhance your wine experience like cheese, fruits, olives, hummus and chocolate desserts ranging from $5 to $15 dollars.

I got to get the whole story of the winery from Scott and chose to list a few features in this

column, but to get his full story about how he moved into the wine business I would encourage everyone to go chat with him themselves.

I stopped in at the 17th-annual Carmel International Arts Festival to see many smiling faces as they sold more than 500 bottles and also got to read more about the business. A brief history is on the back of their bottles, which is a very cool and interesting feature.

You can visit Peace Water Winery Tuesdays through Thursdays from noon to 8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m., and from Sundays from noon until 5 p.m. The winery is closed on Mondays.

I think, actually I know, you will enjoy every aspect of the look, history and family orientation that makes up this unique shop that will surely enhance your visit to the Arts & Design District.

Americans consume 17 billion quarts of popped popcorn each year. On average, that equivocates to a sole American consuming approxikids mately 54 quarts of popcorn alone.

Now Carmel residents can get their fix of the savory snack while supporting a worthy cause. Crossroads of America Council Boy Scouts is kicking off its annual popcorn fundraiser once again to raise money for area Scouting programs.

Scouts throughout central Indiana will sell popcorn at stores, door-to-door and online from now through Nov. 4.

Proceeds from the popcorn fundraiser will be used to pay for equipment, activities and camps

for scouts, and 70 percent of popcorn purchases will directly support local scouting programs.

“The annual popcorn drive imparts honing in on entrepreneurial skills to fund Scouting adventures,” said Patrick Sterrett, scout executive.

“Top sellers can also earn money toward college scholarships.”

Scouts within the council’s 25-county area will also be selling military ribbon magnets. Proceeds from these magnets will provide popcorn for military members including the Indiana National Guard while helping scouts with their sale. Since scouts in central Indiana have been collecting military donations, more than a half-million dollars in popcorn has been donated to the active service members and veterans.

Focused on health Current in Carmel

www.currentincarmel.com

Why do Carmel residents care more about fitness than people in other parts of the state?

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel appears to have a love affair with health and fitness.

Bike trails. The Farmers Market. Yoga studio after yoga studio. The Carcover story mel Marathon.

Even Mayor Jim Brainard tries to eat vegan when he can.

It seems to be one healthy suburb.

Local entrepreneur Cathy Miller looked at several locations for her unique fitness studio InCycle. She ultimately decided on Carmel over Indianapolis for that very reason.

“After investigating the demographics of Carmel, I was convinced the clientele was exactly who I wanted to attract,” she said. “I believed that the Carmel population would embrace trying something inventive and new in their quest to be their healthiest self.”

Miller isn’t the only one. When Earth Fare opened on Range Line Road, some questioned whether it would succeed since Whole Foods and Fresh Market are only a short drive away.

Soon Giant Eagle supermarket in The Bridges will be another addition. Market forces show there’s enough interest to support multiple options and city officials said these health-food retailers are thriving.

“These are entrepreneurs that are putting their capital at risk because they look at the demographics in this area and it all suggests that people are willing to pay more for healthier options here in Carmel,” City Councilor Rick Sharp said.

percentage of residents who have some college education – 86 percent compared to 59 percent in Marion County. It also has the lowest amount of children in poverty at only 6 percent compared to 32 percent in Marion County.

Josh Kuklak, owner of Survival Fitness Gym at Clay Terrace, said he agrees education and income play a role. He said he’s traveled the state and has seen the sad truth that many underprivileged Hoosiers just aren’t taught the importance of healthy habits or sometimes don’t have the means. But Carmel is very fortunate in that regard.

“The Carmel demographic seems to be more in tune with the latest research on fitness and nutrition,” he said.

Hamilton County is ranked as the healthiest county in Indiana, according to a study by the Robert Wood Foundation. The county has 20 percent adult obesity, compared to 31 percent for the state as a whole and 32 percent for Marion County. Only 20 percent of people ‘PLENTY OF AMENITIES’ are physically inactive compared to When Money Magazine ranked 28 percent for entire state.

“I’ve talked to a lot of people who said, ‘I never Why is Hamilton County the healthiest county exercised until the trails were here,’” Brainard in the state? Some might suggest it is because said. “We built another 120 miles of trails adjathe county is more affluent and educated. cent to streets. It allows people close to their Hamilton County is top in the state for the homes to get out and exercise.”

City officials care so much about providing alternative transportation that city councilors amended the city comprehensive plan to try to accommodate as many bike lanes that traffic will allow.

“It really is amenities like these that make Carmel a world-class city and a healthy population certainly is part of that,” City Councilor Ron Carter said.

Miller said she credits city leaders for the

area’s healthy habits.

“I think Jim Brainard’s vision for Carmel has been instrumental in attracting the type of residents that are self-motivated to find interesting ways to be healthy,” she said. “I also give a lot of credit to Pedcor, who had the foresight to build City Center. The location is brilliant. Situated along the Monon Trail – everyone has easy access. Walkers, bikers, runners. It truly is perfect.”

Hamilton County has 20 percent adult obesity, compared to 31 percent statewide.

The home improvement effect

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Holder will skate off into the sunset So, is Eric Holder going to skate out of the attorney general’s office without a conclusion to the IRS scandal? You bet your last dollar he is. This mess has been lingering for 16-plus months. Conservative groups, it is widely known, were targeted by the federal agency, and yet there have been no convictions, let alone criminal charges, for the heinous activity. The world knows there is missing evidence and yet … crickets. This is proof enough of robust partisan partiality in pinpointing targets and befuddled reactions from the agency about collaborating with congressional examiners. Meanwhile, Holder’s investigative group hasn’t fueled assurance about resolve and neutrality. It’s like this: Instead of solving the crime, energy is expended on punishing administration foes. As someone pointed out last week, having a reputation for a corrupt and partisan IRS, deserved or not, is the political equivalent of a football team having a reputation for cheap shots on defense. Whether it’s true, the other guys still flinch.

••• Is anyone surprised that our president has only attended 42 percent of his intelligence briefings and has spent more time on the golf course, as was reported earlier last week?

This is unbelievable, and we only wish it were not the truth. But it is; remember, he spent the biggest part of his state senate service in Illinois voting not present. Did we really think things would change on a larger stage? This is embarrassing and even the most partisan Democrat should be ashamed.

••• A colleague listened last week to Mike Frey, the Libertarian candidate for the 9th Congressional District. We couldn’t agree more with what he had to say: Shrink the federal government and get rid of career politicians. There still are not nearly enough people engaged to the point they can understand what it all means.

Absence naturally strange Commentary by Terry Anker Carolyn and I committed that when our kids headed off to college that we would encourage them to adapt to the new life and resist the temptation, at least for a while, to return home.

Since departing in early August, our first has managed to do just that – settling in comfortably to the collegiate environs. When we deposited him, we carried boxes and tried to help him settle in. Even as he tolerated our doting, it was clear that he was indulging us in our need and not expressing one for himself. He was ready.

And we were still adjusting to the idea.

Weeks went by without a hint of melancholy from campus. Meanwhile at home, each day we’d pass his empty room without need for a reminder to make the bed or pick up a sock. For him, one can only speculate the many new experiences presented. For us, there was mostly quiet.

His younger brother has filled the space, arguing creatively that he didn’t want to take over his

brother’s slightly larger room but instead that we should remodel, removing the wall between the two for him to have a giant suite.

Ultimately our desire to see him – coupled with the growing list of “forgotten” items that required delivery – led to a Sunday trip for lunch and a visit. We even took the dog. And to his credit, our son hosted us. The stories flowed.

His conscience was alive with possibility. His world had gotten a lot bigger. Watching our kids grow up is at once abundantly odd and entirely natural. They transform more quickly that our minds can process. Yet as we pulled away from his dormitory, our rear-view betrayed him as he stood and watched. He missed us as surely as we missed him.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK The problem with the rat race is that

even if you win, you’re still a rat.

– Lily Tomlin

I’m sitting in my “dining” room amidst what feels like a garage sale. To my right are a dresser from my son’s room and a fake bamboo tree from the front humor serves-no-purpose-whatsoever room. To my left, stacked high on a desk from the office, are throw pillows, a Deskjet printer, two lamps, picture frames, faux orchids, and six paint cans dripping varying shades of khaki.

From my vantage point, I can also see across to the family room where only a single couch remains, apart from a snoozing Labrador retriever and a discarded Carpi Sun. All walls are adorned with a minimum of seven swatches of paint. Curse you, new mattress!

But what’s an ultra-firm, king-size Beautyrest have to do with my home’s uncanny resemblance to a cluttered, poorly-showcased antique shop, you ask? Well Adoring Fan, let me explain. I call it the Home Improvement Effect. You begin with one small change in your décor and end up essentially ushering in an extreme makeover on the first floor. Take, for example, what happened when we finally upgraded our 20-plus-year-old hand-me-down mattress. The bed purchase lead to new sheets, which in turn had us thinking that it was probably time to get rid of the nasty, pet-stained odiferous-when-humid downstairs carpet. And if we’re replacing that, then shouldn’t we paint first so as not to possibly ruin the new flooring? After all, we’ve have been dreaming of non-yellow walls since the day we moved in, more than four years ago.

Of course, before we paint, we really should replace those five or six windows that have been ensuring Vectren a nice profit margin every winter, and also the front door which whistles on windy days. Don’t forget the garage roof! The ceiling in there won’t withstand another heavy downpour!

And so here I sit, amidst the chaos of an abode poised for total remodel. Carpet guys are due in less than 12 hours, followed by the roofer next week. The door will arrive midmonth, hopefully the same time as the painting is finished.

Do we absolutely need to be doing any of this? Apart from the garage roof and maybe two of offending windows, no. But that’s the problem with the Home Improvement Effect.

Once the momentum kicks in, there’s no going back.

So we’ll muddle through the next few weeks amidst the junk piles and work crews.

All because of a stupid, but glorious, new mattress. At least I’m well-rested! Peace out.

READER’S VIEW

Center’s work impacts Carmel Editor, My family and I moved to Carmel five years ago from sunny Southern California. Friends playfully joked about culture shock, but we quickly fell in love with Indiana and our new hometown. Wonderful education opportunities, beautiful parks, friendly neighbors, a welcoming attitude at every turn, and roundabouts! We also quickly grew fond of our new city’s many cultural amenities.

At the very heart, I believe, is the Center for the Performing Arts. The artists performing on the Center’s three stages are world-class in every sense of the word. How many places can you see Tony Bennett one weekend, and then grab a seat for Charlie Daniels the next?

Of course, the headliners draw crowds (and national publicity, thank you very much Mr. Peter Frampton), but the Center’s most important work often takes place behind-the-scenes, once the spotlights go dark. Its expanding educational programs are a big part of what drives my passion for the Center.

Last year’s programs impacted 30,000 youth and adults. That’s every third-grade student in Carmel Clay Schools taking a field trip to the Palladium for the SEP Science of Sound laboratory.

It’s a family gathering for an action-packed Saturday morning Peanut Butter & Jam concert. It’s also every Carmel middle school orchestra member coming together for a combined 180-member strong ensemble, performing on the Palladium stage for the very first time.

The core of the Center’s mission is about engaging youth, and its mentoring programs have

delivered invaluable opportunities. Students learn directly from professional performers through master classes with visiting artists. Master classes take place in school classrooms or right on stage. The Firestone FrontRow program takes it a step further by opening sound check to deliver career advice straight from working musicians before concert kick-off. The Center offers vibrant internships in production, marketing, and non-profit management. These hands-on career discovery opportunities provide outstanding reallife experiences.

Adult programming is inspirational, too. During the week, the reading community explores performance art through the written word in the Palladium Bookies book club. The Great American Songbook movie series screens classic, awardwinning films like “Singin’ in the Rain” or “An American in Paris.” And many of our artists make visits to our senior living communities, demonstrating magic tricks or leading a sing-a-long.

Carmel is a world-class city. The concerts and programming at the Center for the Performing Arts drive recognition for our entire region and help make Carmel one of the top cities in the nation. As it gears up for another tremendous season of programming, I hope you and your family will be among the 100,000-plus guests joining my family in celebrating the arts, right here in Carmel..

IndyGo should be a no-go Editor Bottom-line: Indy-Go had an operating LOSS of $53 million dollars in 2013. This discussion of Mass Transit does not need to go any farther and waste time and resources. I would invite

Creamery’s Oktoberfest is back by popular demand

The fundraiser has donated over $120,000 to the Traders Point Rural Historic District, one of only three designated in Indiana.”

There will be live music, and lots of what Alden calls “family fun,” including “some amazing food,” a German-style biergarten, a Sun King Brewery biergarten, wine tastings, hayrides, face painting, pony rides, and a pumpkin patch.

Two bands will perform, with the Tad Robinson Band playing from noon until 3 p.m., and Polka Boy playing from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Cost is $10 per person, and children under 10 years old are free. Visit www.traderspointcreamery.com or call 733-1700 for more information.

The festival will be held to raise funds for the club and is intended for adults. It will feature two auctions, food, beverages and live music.

“There’s a live and a silent auction so we have anywhere from 10 a.m. to noon. live auction items that are more our high valued items and then we have around 100-plus silent auction items that will be available,” event organizer Michelle Wade said. “We also serve food and there’s a live band.

Our band is Cousin Rodger and they’ve been there the last couple years performing,” The festival will also offer an array of activities to participate in to ensure a fun experience.

“Besides drinks and food there’s a couple games and just different things that people can do with their group or couples they come with,” Wade said.

For those who would like to commute to Oktoberfest as a group, the festival is offering pick-up and drop-off services courtesy of the Boys & Girls Club.

“One of the neat features about this event is that we offer, for groups, a bus service that we

run using the Boys & Girls Club buses,” Wade said. “So we’ll pick your group up at your neighborhood, take you to the event and bring you home.”

All proceeds of the festival will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Zionsville. It provides a more convenient way of raising money for the organization while not having to raise the club’s fees.

“One of the goals of the [Boys & Girls Club] is to keep the fees very reasonable so that everyone has access to their services,” Wade said.

“Fundraising like this helps to offset the cost of running the club,” Oktoberfest at the Boys & Girls Club is at 7 p.m. Oct. 11, and will be held at the Cardinal Room of the Golf Course of Indiana. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.bagcoz. org/Oktoberfest.

Kaufman heading to Broadway

By Tonya Burton • news@currentincarmel.com

Carmel resident, Josh Kaufman, is slated to star in the title role of Pippin on Broadway, beginning Nov. 4. The latest theatre winner of The Voice, and one of the lead acts of Indy Jazz Fest, is reported as saying this is another one of his dreams fulfilled. Mark Kennedy of Associated Press quotes Josh, “It’s something I’m really excited about. I tend to be the kind of person who doesn’t want to do just one thing. I get bored, so I’m really excited about having a new challenge and having something different to do.”

“Pippin” is an ongoing revival show, directed

by Diane Paulus, Tony Award winner as best director of a musical. The high energy Tony Award winning musical (2013) is notable for several characteristics, including the 70s style pop music written by Stephen Schwartz. Choreography is done by Chet Walker in the style of Bob Fosse.

The physicality of the play, which includes trapezes, hoops, and teeterboard acts, all executed by sculpted bodies, is created by Gypsy Snider of the Montreal based “7 Fingers” circus troupe. The play also retains complex characterization, which many licensed road shows fails to do.

“Pippin” is the story of a young prince, the son of Charlemagne, who searches for meaning and significance in life. He traverses the pitfalls of war, frivolous love, tyranny, art and religion. The Broadway play shows a rather dark Brechtian

side of life. However, ultimately, Pippin decides that a modest, ordinary life is best of all.

Kaufman is engaged for a limited run, from Nov. 4 until Jan. 5. Via his Facebook page, Kaufman invited anybody attending his opening night performance to celebrate at his after party.

What to wear Tailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley This “what to wear” column is for your physical (not emotional) comfort. Football has three seasons: 1) “Hot”, 2) “Comfortable” and 3) “Cold”.

For the HOT season, women should avoid any makeup that will melt easily. Men and women should avoid clothing colors like black that soak up the sun’s rays and just make you hotter!

Wear clothes that are light in color as this will reflect the heat and sunlight better. Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing will help to keep you cooler.

Shorts and short-sleeved shirts are good choices, although a lightweight long-sleeved shirts and pants are preferable if you’re tailgating for any length of time, as this provides more protection against the UV rays. In that same light (no pun intended), a wide-brimmed (Panama style) hat may be appropriate. Cotton clothing tends to keep you cool but be careful of synthetics - some can increase heat, while others are specifically made to reduce heat (check the labels).

For the COLD weather we also recommend natural fiber clothes like cotton and wool to be worn in multiple, thin layers. You can peel off layers (don’t forget a base layer of long undies) as the temperature rises and put them on as it cools. Natural fibers breathe more and will help you avoid sweat. Perspiration is a bad thing in cold weather and can make you really uncomfortable after the cold penetrates. Winter survivalists try to avoid sweat at all costs. Being wet will cause chill to set in more quickly than if you’re dry so have waterproof - or at least water resistant - outer layers. There are some new man-made fibers that are appropriate in real cold, windy weather. Check the labels or do some research to find what will work for you.

In cold weather, since we’re in wonderful layers, we can’t forget the areas that also need extra attention: the head, hands and feet. Wear a hat that keeps the heat from leaving your body.

Also gloves and warm socks are important. Don’t worry about how you look in the cold, worry

Oct. 11–31 #TCMCreepyCarnival

about how you feel.

As for the “Comfortable” season, wear what you like - the dangers of hot and cold won’t be an issue. Still we recommend layers that can be removed or added as the temperature will fluctuate during a two-hour tailgate party and a four-hour game. It is always wise to take a jacket with you and - if it has the right pocket - it might assist you in bringing in a flask, or your medicines.

No matter what the season brings, here is a delicious recipe for those chocolate and peanut butter treats: Buckeyes.

Ingredients: 1-1/2 cup favorite peanut butter, 1/2 cup margarine, 2-1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, melted semi-sweet chocolate chips for coating Preparation: Mix peanut butter, margarine, vanilla and sugar until semi-dry and crumbly. Form mixture into small balls the size of “Buckeyes”. Slowly dip the balls into chocolate to coat leaving the top uncovered to resemble the real buckeye. Place your “buckeyes” on waxed paper and refrigerate.

Your weekly serving of TABLES

The Scoop: Rosie’s Place was started and has been run by Debbie Bourgerie since 2010.

Rosie’s is a friendly and warm breakfast and lunch café on the Noblesville Square. Full of good company and food, it is a lovely spot to visit.

If that sounds good to you, then Zacky’s is just the place for you. A wide range of hotdogs prepared in a variety of ways fills the Zacky’s menu. Not into hotdogs?

The American Pianists Association’s Music Matters event was held at the home of Ersal and Izabela Ozdemir on Sept. 28. The event was catered

by Prime 47. Four of the five Cole Porter Jazz Fellowship finalists performed, as did surprise guest pianist, Sean Chen, the current APA Classical Fellow.

Ersal Ozdemir is an APA board member. Music Matters is a series held in private homes, featuring guest artists and lecturers, and is exclusively for major sponsors. The four APA finalists who performed were: Christian Sands, Kris Bowers, Emmet Cohen and Zach Lapidus. The fifth finalist, Sullivan Fortner, was unable to attend due to touring in South Africa. Regarding the ultimate winner, Joel Harrison, President and Artistic Director of APA explained, “The winner of this competition receives a prize valued at $100,000, the largest in the world for a young jazz musician.”

Each musician brought unique interpretations to his performance. In his career, Christian Sands has performed twice at the Grammys, including a duet with the legendary Oscar Peterson. At age 20, he was nominated for two Grammys for best Latin Jazz Piano Solo. Sands has released three albums to date.

Kris Bowers earned an undergraduate and a master’s degrees in jazz performance from Juilliard. In 2011, he won first place in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition.

That same year, he contributed keyboard tracks for the Kanye West/Jay-Z collaboration “Watch he Throne.” In 2014, he released his debut album “Heroes + Misfits.”

At 24, jazz pianist Emmet Cohen has become

one of the most in-demand musicians in New York.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, where he studied with the esteemed Shelly Berg. In 2011, he won third place in the Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition. His debut album, “In the Element,” has received international critical acclaim.

Zach Lapidus, now based in Brooklyn, called Indiana home for several years. He received his bachelor’s degree from Indiana University’s Jacob’s School of Music in 2008. He travels internationally and has been featured on NPR’s “Jazz Set with Dee Dee Bridgewater.” Zach Lapidas is also a long standing collaborator with Frank Glover. The duo of Zach Lapidus and Frank Glover were featured on the American Public Television documentary Take 2.

Although Fortner was unable to attend, his credentials mark him as a highly accomplished jazz musician. Originally from New Orleans, Fortner holds a bachelor’s degree from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and a Master’s degree from the Manhattan School of Music. His music can be found on eight albums.

Five picks for Heartland Film Fest Commentary by Amy Pauszek The 2014 Heartland Film Festival is just around the corner and will run from Oct. 16 through Oct. 25. Heartland Film’s Mission is to movies inspire filmmakers and audiences through the transformative power of film. Every year I look forward to previewing the films and telling people which ones are most worth watching. Many of these films are thought provoking. challenge our perspectives on the world and inspire us to make a difference. I selected this week’s Top 5 Films because every one of them made me stop and appreciate who and what I have in my life. They are powerful films that deal with diversity, determination and love. Heartland knows how to open our minds, tug at our hearts and listen. I hope these films will empower and enlighten your own hearts to see the world from a different view. Experience the Heartland Film Festival and I hope to see you at the movies!

“AMIRA & SAM” (Official Selection) An army veteran attempting to assimilate back into a country he barely recognizes while trying to win the heart of an Iraqi immigrant who is on the verge of being deported. This beautifully-made film will make you stop and think about how we view others but perhaps more importantly how we are viewed as Americans.

Directed and written by Indianapolis native Sean Mullin, “Amira & Sam” will open your eyes and warm your heart.

“CICADA” (Festival Award Winner) “Cicada” is the story of Jumpei, a man who loses sight of his progeny when he finds out he is infertile, but then is given the gift of clairvoyance and begins to see glimpses of the future. These glimpses lead him to a series of cicada shells, which become symbolic of his desire to shed his old self. Directed by Dean Yamada of Japan, this film takes you on a dysfunctional family journey that transpires a series of comical and heartbreaking events along the way.

“HIGHWAY TO DHAMPUS” (Official Selection) When Laxmi, headmistress of a small orphanage in Nepal, is visited by a rich socialite attempting to fix her image through charitable acts, a chain of events is set in motion that

affects everyone involved. These four individuals from four different worlds will learn what it means to be charitable, to give and to love, but what unfolds will change their lives forever. Directed and written by Rick McFarland of California, this film will find the soft spot in your heart of giving and love.

“LIGHT FLY, FLY HIGH” (Festival Award Winner) As a young Indian girl born outside of caste, Thulasi is trying to box her way out of poverty, but the struggle for an independent life is hardest outside the ring. Forced to leave her parents home when only 14 she fights hard to succeed and eventually ranks third in India’s Light Fly category. Despite an uphill battle against sexual harassment, poverty and the pressure to marry, Thulasi refuses to compromise herself, her goals and she takes her destiny into her own hands. Directed and written by Beathe Hofseth and Susann Ostigarrd, “Light Fly, Fly High” was filmed over a period of three years. This film is a gripping and inspirational story of a courageous young woman who refuses to be anyone’s victim.

“SOMEONE YOU LOVE”: THE HPV EPIDEMIC (Official Section) Narrated by Vanessa Williams, this documentary caught my eye because of the local connection with the Kristen Forbes EVE Foundation, a non-profit organization out of Noblesville.

Watching the video clips of Kristen and her family opened my eyes to the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). This virus may be the most widespread, misunderstood and potentially dangerous epidemic that most people hardly know anything about. This poignant documentary takes a look into the lives of five women affected by HPV, this widely misunderstood and controversial virus causes several types of cancer, including cervical. Directed by Frederic Lumiere, this film is one I would encourage everyone of all ages to see.

HPV sees no age, race or class.

Why have a primary care doctor?

Commentary by Lisa Youngblood, MD,

You may need to see a doctor if you’re ill or injured, but what if you’re not? Some people who are in apparent good wellness health don’t feel they need to see a primary care physician.

The fact is that developing a relationship with a primary care doctor now is an important step in your long-term efforts to stay healthy.

A primary care doctor is the first point of contact for most health-related concerns. In addition to diagnosing and treating acute medical conditions, your doctor recommends a schedule for preventive screenings and provides education about health and wellness. That’s why it’s important to see a primary care doctor regularly even if you don’t have any current health issues.

A primary care doctor can partner with you to oversee your health and help prevent problems before they occur. Early detection of high blood pressure or high blood glucose, for example, helps ensure better treatment outcomes and prevents unnecessary hospitalizations and/or trips to the emergency room.

So, what does it mean to establish with a primary care doctor? Generally, it means mak-

ing an appointment to be seen for a checkup.

Ultimately, this can mean fewer visits to urgent care facilities or the ER. Your doctor knows your personal medical history and provides continuity of care from visit to visit. If you do have a medical concern, your primary care doctor can treat you, advise on when and where to be seen in the future, or what to do after hours. If you’re admitted to the hospital, your doctor can provide follow-up care after you’re released, including any tests or labs you may need rechecked.

Your primary care physician is someone you can trust. Once you’ve established care with a primary care doctor, remember to see him or her regularly for medical problems or at least once a year to update your chart and history.

Get cancer risks off your chest Commentary by Erica Giblin, M.D.

Ladies, have you ever felt your breasts for a lump, then prayed what you felt was normal?

Welcome to the club. prevention When women detect a lump at home, they’re often scared. They hope and pray it goes away, and often self-sacrifice when it comes to choosing between caring for their family and making time for a screening. Screening, however, is key to ensuring they can continue to care for their loved ones.

Breast cancer screenings are designed to catch problems early so women have a greater chance of survival. By the time you feel something at home a doctor could have caught it already and made progress on treatment.

Among leading breast cancer risk factors are: 1. A family history of breast cancer. Many women think only of mom’s family, but you get half of your DNA from dad, so it’s important to look at his side of the family, too.

2. The age of family members diagnosed with breast cancer also matters. A pre-menopausal woman – say, in her 30s or 40s – is considered young, and a diagnosis at her age could mean the disease’s gene runs in the family.

3. A woman also is at greater risk if a previous breast biopsy revealed abnormal cells. In that case, doctors advise seeing a breast surgeon in a high-risk cancer clinic.

It’s worth noting that nearly half of women

have such dense breasts (meaning a greater amount of breast and connective tissue compared to fat), that mammograms can’t see through that tissue well. It’s like looking at a polar bear in a snowstorm: white on white. In those cases, Indiana law requires facilities performing mammograms to issue breast density notifications to patients — an indication that more testing might be needed.

To overcome the breast-density obstacle, more advanced health centers have begun adopting a test called tomosynthesis – “tomo” for short – or 3D mammogram. The tomo takes images of the breasts at different angles, building a 3D image so clinicians can see through thin slices of dense breast tissue. At a minimum, tomos decrease the chance that a patient will have to return for additional testing.

Whether seeking an initial screening or highrisk treatment, one should visit with a fellowship-trained breast surgeon. Fellowship training means the surgeon has additional, specialized training and spent considerable time working within the industry’s most advanced systems, applying the latest surgical techniques and breast cancer care.

Dr. Erica Giblin is a breast surgeon with St.Vincent Medical Group in Carmel. For more information, call 582-9355.

Eye exams free for 6- to 12-month-olds Q: When should my child have her first eye exam? - Terri S., Carmel A: A child’s first eye exam should be between the ages of 6 and 12 months. Most parents are very surprised to learn this. However, there are many visual issues that can occur at that young age that can affect the development of your child. InfantSEE is a program where local eye doctors provide this comprehensive exam for free. Go to infantsee.org to see if your doctor performs these exams or to find a provider in your area. I would also like to add that the school screenings are not a replacement for a

comprehensive eye exam. Although these are great tools for finding some of the more simple visual problems, there are many issues that cannot be detected by reading letters on a standard eye chart. These other issues include, but are not limited to, eye convergence, eye teaming and sustaining near focus, which also affect learning and the development of your child.

Anytime Fitness also has trainers

By Navar Watson • news@currentinwestfield.com

A new Anytime Fitness gym has opened in Noblesville at 14300 Mundy Dr., Suite 1200. Open 24/7, the gym features a staff of certified, personal trainers who work with cusnow open tomers throughout the day.

“The customer experience is really important to us,” co-owner Jennifer Shagena said. “We want to do more than just sell someone a gym membership.”

This is the third location Shagena has started up.

She also started an Anytime Fitness in Beech Grove and at 71st and Binford Boulevard in Indianapolis.

A Fishers resident, Shagena has worked for seven years at Anytime and 20 years in the fitness industry. She considers her co-workers a “family” that wants their members to succeed.

“The worst thing you can do is just carry around that keychain (and not work out),” Shagena said.

All enrollments happen on a face-to-face basis, Shagena said. After about 10 minutes of paperwork, the person’s picture is taken and he or she is uploaded into the database. Incoming members also receive an orientation on how to use the equipment.

Once someone becomes a member, they have access to nearly 3,000 gyms worldwide.

Anytime Fitness is always open, even though the staff leaves around 8 or 9 p.m. Each gym is

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.”

equipped with 12 to 17 security cameras, which monitor activity throughout the night, Shagena said. The door also has a “tailgate system,” which can sense if more than one person enters the gym on a single member’s key swipe.

The cameras also contribute to the safety of those using the facility. The gym has panic buttons and 911 phones in case someone gets injured during the night.

One of the most unique programs the Noblesville location offers is a procedure called Easy Slim, a non-invasive procedure that uses LED red lights to shear fat and reduce inches. Anytime is the first gym in Indiana to have this technology, Shagena said, and the first session is free for members.

The presence of certified trainers during the day also makes Anytime Fitness unique, Shagena said. Their goal is to make the customers feel comfortable at the facility. Working out is tough, she admitted, and the hardest part is walking from one’s car to the entrance of the gym. The staff recognizes this and hopes to make the members feel welcome.

“We want to know all of our customers,” Shagena said. “We want to know what their goals are and we want to know that they’re reaching them.”

Primrose School in West Carmel will hold more than 185 students. (Submitted photo)

Primrose now open in West Carmel news@currentincarmel.com Having officially opened its doors to students on Sept. 9, Primrose School at West Carmel is the third Primrose school to open new biz in Hamilton County. Adding more than 50 full and part-time jobs, the 12,000-square foot school is poised to serve 185 local children and families.

The school will offer the Primrose curriculum, which blends teacher-guided and child-initiated activities with a special emphasis on character development, for children from six weeks old to six years old. Over the past six years, Primrose Schools has used the Bracken School Readiness Assessment to ensure the effectiveness of its proprietary curriculum. Additionally, Primrose School at West Carmel offers before-school care; and, for students up to age 12, offers the Primrose Explorers after-school program.

In addition to owning the new Primrose School at West Carmel, the founders also own and operate Primrose School at West Clay in Carmel and Primrose School at Bridgewater in Westfield.

“As a lifelong educator and as parents, we understand that there’s nothing more important than ensuring the best for your children,” said owner Julie Bowman. “After struggling to find a high-quality early education and care provider for our own children, we made the decision to open our first school. Because we believed in the Primrose model so much and wanted to make a greater impact on children and families in the community, we opened our second school.

Now, with Primrose School at West Carmel, we look forward to being able to offer the Primrose experience to more families in Carmel and surrounding areas.”

The school has 11 private classrooms with wireless technology throughout and has four separate and secure age-appropriate playgrounds to accommodate each stage of the children’s early development, including equipment specifically designed to help develop and grow their gross motor skills. Primrose School at West Carmel is at 3746 W. 98th Street. To contact Primrose School at West Carmel, call 876-0123 or visit www.primrosewestcarmel.com.

Cairn at Scotland’s Culloden Battlefield (Photo by Don Knebel)

Culloden: Scotland’s Gettysburg Commentary by Don Knebel

YOU’RE INVITED!

Hoist the sail and join us as we set sail for The Caribbean!

Thursday, October 9, 2014 | 5:30-9 p.m.

RITZ CHARLES | 12156 N. Meridian Street | Carmel, IN RSVP at www.chauciesplace.org

When Scottish citizens voted recently on whether to sever ties to England, some carried with them memories of a bloody travel battle 278 years ago. For them, the Culloden Battlefield memorializes English oppression.

In 1707, after centuries of intermittent conflict, Scotland and England agreed to a political union.

Residents of the Scottish Highlands, many of them Roman Catholic, were not happy, considering themselves disadvantaged by the Protestant English kings. Catholic Charles Edward Stuart also opposed the English Protestants, who had deposed his grandfather, King James II of England, in 1688. In 1745, Charles formed a “Jacobite” army consisting largely of Catholic Highlanders to retake the crown for himself and the Catholics.

After early victories in Scotland and England, Charles, known as “Bonnie Prince Charlie,” retreated to the Highlands to rebuild his army and await support from Catholic France. He was pursued by forces loyal to Protestant King George II, commanded by the Duke of Cumberland.

Over objections of his advisors, Charles engaged Cumberland in a moor near the Highland village of Culloden on April 16, 1746. In the lastever pitched battle on British soil, Cumberland’s forces annihilated the Jacobites in about an hour.

Charles escaped, finding his way to France and then Rome, but Cumberland showed his followers no mercy. He pillaged Highland homes and farms, killed wounded soldiers, and executed Jacobite supporters, earning him the title of “Butcher.” Parliament banned Highlanders not in the military from wearing clan tartans.

A 19th century cairn erected on the Culloden Battlefield honors “the gallant Highlanders who fought for Scotland and Price Charlie.” Weathered stones mark mass graves where Highland soldiers were buried according to their clans. In 2007, 300 years after the merger of Scotland and England, the National Trust for Scotland added a visitors’ center to the battle site, featuring a 360-degree film that “relives the horror of the battle.”

For Scottish nationalists, the Culloden Battlefield is holy ground, creating emotions akin to those some Americans experience at Gettysburg.

For everyone else, the battlefield provides another lesson, learned all too often, of the role religious differences have played in history’s battles.

Barcelona’s Park Güell is the site of several Gaudi works, including this house, undulating benches and a Barcelona must-see, the mosaic salamander. (Photo by Lana Bandy)

Gaudi in Barcelona

Commentary by Lana Bandy

In a city where there’s a gorgeous building on every street, one Barcelona architect has captured the attention of visitors from travel all over the world. Antoni Gaudi’s whimsical work is like no other.

Gaudi is known for his “modernist” designs, ornamental decorations and use of materials like colorful mosaic tiles, black wrought iron and ceramics. Some works, such as Park Güell’s colorful houses whose roofs appear to be coated in cake frosting, seem to be straight out of a Grimm’s fairy tale.

Casa Batlló is one of Gaudi’s masterpieces.

The colorful building features stained glass, mosaic tiling that fades from blue to green to yellow to orange and curving balconies and roof.

Perhaps the most famous of Gaudi’s work is La Sagrada Familia (“Sacred Family”), a massive (10,000-seat) church started in 1882 that remains unfinished – and still under construction – today. The building is known for its eight intricate spires and grand facades with distinctive sculp-

tures of religious figures, animals and words.

The back facade appears to be melting under the sun.

The church is a controversial topic in Barcelona. Some say the building has deviated too far from Gaudi’s original plan; he died in 1926 when just one-fourth of the building was complete, and no blueprints exist. While many consider La Sagrada Familia one of the world’s greatest works, others find it hideous. But there’s no denying its popularity, as it garners more than 2.5 million visitors each year.

The architect spent his entire career in Barcelona and has just a few works elsewhere (all in Spain). While visitors flock to Casa Batlló, Park Güell, La Sagrada Familia and his other buildings (Palau Güell and La Pedrera), Gaudi’s influence can be felt everywhere, as he designed lampposts, monuments and sculptures throughout town as well.

Soft leather, comfortable spring seats with wheel-activated lighting and a lock built into the wheels. The shop manager wondered if this was a fall purchase or next year. He mentioned, most riders will often ride their way into late November, which gives us plenty of time to enjoy them.

And prices typically escalate with next year’s models. Hmmm.

Reminds me of our green industry dilemma and common conversations we have with likely clients wanting to improve their home or create an incredible outdoor living space. Hey, I get it.

Why spend the money now when we can delay it for several months. Well, here are the top five reasons to move forward this fall/early winter with your dreamy project: 1. Ryan at Vive Exterior Design says “fall is a great time to plant as they are going into dormancy which gives them a kickstart for spring.”

Trees and shrubs planted in the fall handle next seasons drought conditions infinitely better than those planted in the spring.

2. Fall weather is considerably more favorable/ predictable than spring prompting patio projects, lanais, fireplaces and pergolas to be installed more timely and under friendly conditions.

3. Wesley, the brilliant proprietor of Wesley’s Landscape and Lawncare, expanded… “Cost.

Often, contractors are offering better deals going into late fall. If done in fall, the early spring enjoyment is awaiting.” As you can appreciate, costs typically don’t reduce as time progresses, especially during the spring frenzy.

4. Supply stream issues are avoided. Spring demand often results in supply constraints for plants, pavers, cedar, etc…

5. Seize the day.

Different flooring options for pet owners Commentary by David Decker Keeping your floors neat and tidy when there are furry members of the family living in your house can be a struggle. Beoutdoors tween the messes and the sharp toenails, some flooring materials won’t hold up well against damage from pets. If you are planning a remodel, installing kid and pet-friendly flooring may be a worthwhile investment. So whether you have dogs, cats or a combination of the two, here are a few of the hardiest flooring options on the market.

Tile – Porcelain, stone or ceramic tile is a good choice if you’re looking for something that can hold up against wear and tear. Tile is scratch resistant, which is helpful if you are worried about pet claws damaging your floor. And any messes that occur can quickly and easily be mopped up without leaving permanent damage.

Stain-resistant carpet – Just as the name implies, stain-resistant carpet is specially made carpet that repels dirt, liquids and other messes (including pet accidents). The most popular stain-resistant carpets are made from nylon that’s been infused with a special coating during the manufacturing process. There are also stain-resistant carpets made of wool, but that’s quite a bit pricier. One word of caution: be sure not to clean your stain-proof carpets with harsh chemicals, because this could damage their stain-fighting properties.

Dogs can do a lot of damage to any style of flooring, like scratches and urine stains, so flooring choices should reflect ease in cleaning and repair and the health of your family. (Submitted photo)

Vinyl flooring – Today’s vinyl designs are quite different from the vinyl of the past. There are many different designs to choose from, including options that mimic the look of hardwood flooring. Vinyl is scratch and stain resistant, low in allergens, easy to clean and even quiet to walk on.

Laminate flooring – is a great choice for areas where there might be heavy amounts of pet foot traffic. Most laminate flooring is scratch, stain, and scuff proof, thanks to a protective top layer. Laminate is also fairly easy to clean.

You can wet, or dry mop the surface, as well as vacuum it when necessary.

Green options – This is a new, environmentally friendly option that many homeowners may not have ever considered before. Bamboo is actually harder than hardwood flooring, which means than it will stand up to foot traffic. It is also stain-resistant and extremely durable: perfect for pet owners! Cork flooring is naturally antimicrobial, which means that it will reduce the amount of mold and other allergens in the room. Additionally, it’s scratch-resistant and holds up well against moisture. It also can absorb sound, which is always a plus for pet owners and parents.

Were you surprised by any of the flooring options on the list? The best way to choose flooring is to analyze what types of things your family will be doing most frequently in that particular room. Then consider which type of material is going to be the most beneficial for all of the activities (and potential messes) that may occur there. Choose carefully and you’ll have flooring that enhances the room, and makes cleaning up after pets a breeze.
