to Carmel?
Scott Massey: Ted and I have worked together for the past 15 years on various projects. We both wanted to work together longterm and this opportunity presented itself. Theodore Roosevelt Malloch: Scott and I have been very involved in these Indiana Leadership Summits through his Humanities Council, and in that process it became more and more apparent that Indiana was a state that wasn’t just a flyover. (It was) where very important things were happening from an economic perspective. And then when you get into what’s happening in Carmel. I frankly would say it’s one of the half-dozen places in the whole country where you have a kind of fusion of industry and culture. … Of course, there is one other side to it, and that is the property. The property is certainly one of the attractions for doing what we’re doing. This is a unique mansion, that is one of the most beautiful probably built in the last 20 to 30 years and it happens to be on a property in Carmel, Indiana, and has been for sale for some time. We call it a transformative or even a redemptive use of the property. CIC: Would you be living on site full time?
TRM: No. We may have some property
central Indiana region, the state of Indiana and perhaps even the Midwest. The two men who are the driving forces
managers living there, and I may have a room there, but it’s primarily a place where we will have 20 or 30 bedrooms, which will house corporate and other leaders for short duration colloquia and forums.
CIC: Would the programs of The Carmel Institute be similar to what you have done with the Aspen Institute and the Roosevelt Group? TRM: The difference between what we’re doing and the Aspen Institute is that the Aspen Institute is focused primarily on public policy. … We’re focused not on public policy but on the future of the corporation, so our orientation is really about corporate life in every industrial sector across all industries. CIC: Would you have policy makers – government officials – be a part of the process? TRM: You would, but not to talk with each other about public policy. You would have them talking to and with corporate leaders about the future of industry, the future of the economy and particularly the future of the integrated global economy, which is really something we all live in and have to understand better. So that includes even – and I would underline this many times – international players who would be international corporate leaders and international governmental figures. But the focus is the

corporate relationships, not on, say, forging a new health care policy. It would more likely be about the supply chain in the medical industry. SM: And to focus on issues and topics that relate to innovation within the industries, the innovations that cause significant shifts in economic growth. It’s also important to clarify that it is not a think tank. It’s not like the old Hudson Institute.
CIC: So you would not label it as either conservative or liberal? TRM: We don’t put a label on it. This is about the corporations. In fact the tagline we’re thinking of … is “engaging ideas that matter for business.” CIC: How are the programs at The Carmel Institute going to be funded? TRM: There’s actually three different formats. One is a format where they would pay a fee for a program, which would also include the hospitality; in other words, staying at the facility, eating at the facility, any materials that were given to them at the facility. Another kind of model would be we partner with an organization or probably a corporation who picked up the tab for all of those. ... A third model might be – and we have already a partnership relationship with the Liberty Fund – where they’re actually inviting people to attend a program and they’re paid an
honorarium to attend the program.
CIC: What is the economic impact of The Carmel Institute on the community? SM: I think it would be good if we highlight the incredible innovations that are going on here in Carmel. We also acknowledge that Indianapolis is an important part of all of this and the Central Indiana region should benefit mutually as a result of us having it located here. TRM: Actually, I would add even more broadly it would benefit the Midwest. I plead guilty to being an East Coast person, and there are those on the West Coast, and too often we treat the entire middle spaces as a flyover zone, and they are very vibrant things happening here and companies locating here and having corporate headquarters here. I think that the nature of this community is something that actually needs to be broadcast favorably more and it is a powerful magnet and attraction for the kinds of people we’re talking about. SM: Indianapolis has a vibrant downtown, and Carmel is developing a very vibrant downtown and city center. You add the universities – Purdue and IU – the communities around them. This is a unique constellation of assets, and we hope that The Carmel Institute will help to provide ways that they link together even more meaningfully and constructively.
OUR TAKES It is our position that the Arts & Design District must remain inventive in its approach to creating a sustainable and even thriving arts community within the bounds of our fair city. We saw the much-anticipated opening of the Evan Lurie Fine Art Gallery (a sister to Lurie Galleries in Los Angeles and Miami), and last month’s very successful Carmel International Arts Fair. We expect that much more will occur in the celebrated district as more planned amenities, buildings and infrastructure come online in the upcoming months and years. In the meantime, organizers of the district need to be vigilant on innovation
in arts communities across our state and nation. Recently the Economic Development Commission of Brown County announced the formation of an Arts Incubator in the tiny southern Indiana town of Nashville. Backed in part by National City Bank and designed to support fledgling arts-related businesses, in printing, auctions, entertainment and so forth, the incubator will house up to six small and startup businesses. This direct support of arts enterprises via public/private partnership should be lauded. In fact, plans are now under way for an incubator of sorts for working artists. We wish them well.
re-thinking re-districting It is our position that the redistricting to occur next year at Carmel Clay’s College Wood and West Clay Elementary Schools could be a good thing. While no one likes the disruption of routine caused by any change involving our children’s lives, increased enrollment at the new West Clay Township school has it bursting at the seams. Meanwhile, facilities in the more-established areas of town are seeing static or declining rosters. Such a rebalance is a necessary part of the natural maturation of our community and could be valuable to those affected if handled in the appropriate way. First, the school
corporation’s Steve Dillon, director of student services, contacted parents seeking input for a committee to review and make recommendations on the move. Good choice. While such a group may not be able to dismiss the economic and societal realities necessitating the changes, it will give those most affected direct access to decisionmakers most able to have a real impact on the logistics and practicalities. Second, any such effort must be based on not only fair distribution of resources, but a legitimate effort to get children, their families, and those who teach them, into a productive and communitybased academic environment.

My name is Bruce Calabrese, a local merchant in the Carmel Arts & Design District. I would like to respond to Jeff Worrell’s article titled, “Saying ‘I’m Sorry’ is not easy sometimes”. I am the local merchant who was confronted by an artist at the International Arts Festival. The story told by Mr. Worrell was not properly represented by both of the parties involved. At the time of the incident, I was attempting to help another vendor close his booth on Saturday night. It was 8 p.m. and the vendor was selling food and drink. The profits from the vendor were being donated to Riley Children’s Hospital. I was draining water from the vendor’s basin. I did not realize the water was draining close to the artist’s booth. She began screaming and yelling. I did not mean any malicious attempt on the artist, or any other artist, with my attempt to help. She was irrational and not interested in my apology. When Jeff Worrell arrived to try and intervene in the misunderstanding, a mutual understanding and resolution had already been reached. Sunday, I did approach the artist and attempted to apologize. Again, explaining I was trying to help and did not mean to disturb or destroy her goods. My apology was not accepted. My wife, Cecilia Calabrese, attempted to discuss the situation with Mr. Worrell on Sunday afternoon. Jeff Worrell dismissed her attempt at explanation and told her, “You are only the wife.” She was not only insulted, but also degraded by Mr. Worrell. Mr. Worrell continued to insult and question my character and generosity to my wife. As a local merchant and member of the community for over 19 years, I have supported the community

I want to say that every time we receive Current the first article we love to read in the family is the one by Wendell Fowler. He is great and it’s so amazing for me to be able to find an article like the ones he writes in a “free” magazine. The things he says are so NOT common, the way he says them is able to reach everybody… also my kids can understand him! Thank you for making his articles part of the Current.

PREVIEW? NO! REVIEW? CERTAINLY We had an interesting call the other day from a well-meaning volunteer coordinator for a cancer survivors’ group. The coordinator wanted to look at a contributor’s column before this edition went to press. We advised the coordinator that we don’t offer our content for review prior to publication. Were we to allow that, we’d open ourselves to censorship – and we’d never get the paper done on time. (Do YOU want to deal with cranky pressmen waiting around to ply their trade? Neither do we.) Neither is censorship acceptable nor practiced here. We do reporting for the stories and columns we write. If we err in any of them and it is brought to our attention, we correct the mistake immediately on our Web site and again in the next week’s paper. Sometimes, we’re even smart enough to catch our own errors – after the fact, sadly. So, no, we will not offer you the chance to peek at our content before it arrives in your home. We probably will follow up with you if we have lingering questions from our interview with you, but you won’t see the story before anyone else. That’s one of the ways we roll at Carmel’s Best Weekly Newspaper™.

*** You’re holding this paper a day late because Monday, the day your paper arrives at the Carmel Post Office for processing, was Columbus Day. It’s ridiculous that we’re all paying the government workers for another day off. The rest of us work in the real world. We’re grateful Chris discovered America – like someone wouldn’t eventually have stumbled upon “this great land” – but how much of our tax dough needs to go for yet another perk for them? Just remember, when you arrived at the office at 7:30 a.m. Monday, your government counterpart was sleeping in, having a dandy dream about the overly generous pension that he or she will get. Columbus Day. Puh-leeze!

Christian or not, the Scavi Tour of the necropolis underneath St. Peter’s Basilica is a religious experience. My husband, who doesn’t practice any faith, was blown away by the fact that we were standing on Vatican Hill, a perfectly preserved burial site from 2,000 years ago. Two thousand! And we used to think a Maine graveyard from 1688 was impressive! Bidets are just plain weird, though surprisingly refreshing. Any couple who can survive being lost on the outskirts of Rome for more than two hours while looking for an obscure Avis rental car office without knifing one another because someone thought we didn’t need to follow the car with the Tom-Tom navigation system (“We have a map! It’ll be fun!”) will be married forever. There’s love here. Nothing screams “Welcome home!” like a two-hour layover in the Detroit airport with a McDonald’s #2 value meal (with Diet Coke and ice) and the Bears-Chiefs game on a bigscreen TV. God bless the U.S.A.! Peace out!

What do you believe Carmel will look like in five to 10 years?
How can you help improve the quality of life for Carmel residents?
If there were something you could change about Carmel, what would it be?
Managing growth! We have been very successful at managing and guiding our growth in the past, but our most challenging days lay ahead. My record from the Carmel-Clay Plan Commission and during the last four years on the council demonstrates that I have the experience and the determination to see that our high development standards are maintained.
I think that over the next five to 10 years Carmel will emerge as a model community, not only in the Midwest but nationally. I believe we will have a vibrant corporate corridor along what is today U.S. 31 with a mix of medical and hightech jobs that provide a strong economic and employment base for the city.
I can continue to work with my colleagues on the council and the mayor to keep our residential property taxes low. I have pledged that if elected to a second term I will not vote or nor support any increase in taxes or any new tax.
I would place us on the shore or in the mountains as this would help us be an even more competitive city. Of course we can’t do this, which is why we build parks, trails and paths, cultural facilities and an arts district. These elements, along with our school system, are key to winning the municipal economic development battle in today’s market.
This government seems to believe that they know what is best for the people. Sometimes within a municipality we get so caught up with what we need to accomplish that we forget to ask the people what they want. We need to utilize the technology that we have today to inform citizens about what is going on BEFORE it happens.
Carmel has always been a community that strives to be the best. I have no doubt that Carmel will continue to grow in the upcoming years. I think it is necessary to maintain what we have while we grow. Balancing the debt with the spending should be our ultimate goal.
Quality of life for Carmel residents isn’t dependent upon my winning an election. The residents must reach out to the community and take pride in it. Currently we are including Carmel residents in programs like CarmelCan. I would encourage all residents to participate in as many city programs as possible.
We have a very low voter turnout in Carmel, and that is truly a travesty. For the first time in Carmel’s history we have two and three choices in a general election. People need to research candidates and really decide what is the best choice for Carmel’s future. Most importantly, people need to vote on election day.
The City Council has mortgaged our future with extravagant spending funded by too much borrowing. To pay back the debt, Carmel will have to tolerate excessive growth, or else face sharp spending cuts or tax increases. We need to cut wasteful spending, and adopt a smart growth strategy that avoids high-density developments and preserves our quality of living.
If the City Council continues to borrow at this pace, the only way to pay off the debt will be with more high-density development. That means Carmel will see more crowded roads, more congestion in commercial areas, and overuse of our facilities. Worst of all, it will mean overcrowded classrooms, which will erode the quality of its wonderful schools.
I think the best thing we can do is put in place a smart growth plan that builds a sustainable future for Carmel. The City Council’s current uncontrolled growth strategy is already resulting in school redistricting — displacing families and children — with more crowded schools just around the corner. By making better choices today, we can preserve a great quality of life for the future.
I think any government where one party has all the power is a bad system. There are no checks and balances. I think we should have a City Council that has some Republicans, some Democrats, and some Independents. Balanced decisions would be made, and there would be some controls on excessive spending and politics.
What is the most important issue facing Carmel today?

Carmel is facing significant debt obligations due to its aggressive investments in its development and growth. At some point, the city will have to pay off these obligations, the proverbial “city credit card” (and there are many unknowns relating to what may influence our ability to do this). With the increase in development, so too are we increasing the amount of city maintenance required. This also increases the revenue needed by the city to cover costs. I believe a rebalancing is needed to enable a proper working relationship between governmental powers and citizen’s rights. Efficiency in our municipal government should be the foundation that we create so that we can develop a strong, sustainable and healthy city environment.
I don’t KNOW what Carmel will look like in five years; however, with realistic management at the government level, Carmel can be an efficiently run city providing all the necessary elements and opportunities that people are looking for in a strong, healthy, citizen-oriented community. It would be ridiculous to project 10 years post as I am still not convinced that we can make it to 2012, based on our current spending, without a significant increase to our taxes, or realignment in our spending tendencies.
By representing the people with a realistic voice and community-focused conscience on the Council. We still operate under a representative government, and that means putting the people’s concerns first and not losing this focus.
I would eliminate the overly aggressive and poorly planned growth elements that cause undue stress, fear among the people, and terrible traffic congestion on a daily basis. I would sacrifice speed in development for common sense and property rights. I would involve the community in defining what style and speed of growth works best for the people as a whole and not just a few. There may be no right or wrong answers; however, I believe in realistic working solutions!
It is the rapid growth and being sure that it is controlled in a way that would be beneficial to both businesses and residents.
It is going to be a bustling, exciting place with an old town feel, a very neighborly atmosphere and lots of Hoosier charm.
By being open and available to the residents of my district and by taking into account their wants and needs when voting on issues critical to their neighborhoods.
I love Carmel! The people, businesses and schools are great. I think traffic is always an issue. We need to stay ahead of it. The tax situation needs to be kept under control.
What is the most important issue facing Carmel today?

resented “just for laughs,” with the authors unknown. The birth order of children has an effect on the way we do things as parents. Here are
a few: Your clothes First baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your doctor confirms your pregnancy. Second baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible. Third baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes.

Preparing for the birth First baby: You religiously practice your breathing. Second baby: You don’t bother because you remember that last time breathing didn’t do a thing. Third baby: You ask for an epidural in your eighth month. Pacifier First baby: If the pacifier falls on the floor,
you put it away until you can go home and boil it. Second baby: When the pacifier falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some juice from the baby’s bottle. Third baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in. Swallowed coins First child: When the first child swallows a coin, you rush the child to the hospital and demand X-rays.

In fact, they usually repeat, word for word, what you shouldn’t have said. • The main purpose of holding children’s parties is to remind yourself that there are children more unruly than your own. • We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in. • Advice for the day: be nice to your kids.

Family members: Dave, 34; Amanda, 34; Alyssa, 3; Lauren, Drew and Jack are 14 months. Residence: Carmel Where we worship: River Oaks Community Church Why we worship at River Oaks Community Church: We wanted a church that had the same beliefs and values that we did. It was also essential to us to find a church that had strong literal and cultural teaching of the Bible. There are many wonderful churches in the area that do all these things. But what set River Oaks apart is the people. The last two years have been very difficult for our family. First, we found out the overwhelming news that we were pregnant with quadruplets. Two months into the pregnancy, we found out
that one of the babies had died. We are so grateful to God, that after 16 weeks of bed rest, we were blessed with three healthy babies. The following six months at home with the triplets and a 2 ½-year-old were crazy, as you can imagine. Through every step of this ordeal, our church was there to support us and help us get through it. We could not have made it through the last two years without them! We truly see the love and joy of God reflected in the lives of the members.

The Internet has also resulted in many customers demanding companies be more transparent. Customers want to understand who they are doing business with – it’s a part of feeling comfortable. When you don’t understand, you can’t get a level of comfort. At the root of every business is the need to serve a customer. As more consumers make decisions about where to spend their money using online resources, it’s a good time to take a look at your virtual office and ensure it represents you was well as your physical space.

or a client of some company. Before, during and at the end of the workday, we are all just consumers (or customers). And customers must feel comfortable and confident doing business with you or they won’t continue. If you have a job, chances are you are in the customer service business. In every organization, every person affects the customer in some way. It is common to think customer service is the job of the people who face the customer – receptionist, sales, account reps, president – but customer service is a part of everyone’s job, including the person who comes in at night and cleans the restrooms. Today’s online world offers global choices to your customers (or audience). Fewer people drift to brands or organizations, products or services just because their parents did or because of television advertising. Instead, these consumers (or potential consumers) explore, interact, change their mind, or complain – all using their freedoms that have been exponentially expanded by the Internet.

H
ow often do you think about customer service? The Internet has changed the playing field and permanently altered the service expectations of consumers. Almost every company has a Web site, which is really just a virtual office or, better yet, an online customer experience. Whether good or bad, memorable or not, a Web site touches a customer. Obviously your physical office space must be inviting. However, with a multitude of choices online, it is equally as important to ensure that your virtual space is also inviting. David Cain And because short On Marketing attention spans are the norm, your virtual office (or Web site) must give your customers a reason to stay involved and keep coming back. Most companies seem to forget that your customer is a person – with a sense of humor, values, interests and, it’s assumed, a need. They are not, however, just a collection of needs that companies exist to fill. Call it what you like – everyone is a consumer, a customer

What is something you want to buy, but think you never will?

Soori Ardalan knows owning art is a luxury, which is why she takes personal appointments with potential customers, and spends time to help them choose the best piece for them. “This is a lot of money to be investing,” said Ardalan, who co-owns Soori Gallery with her husband, Hamid. The first floor of the 3,000-square-foot gallery is set up like a traditional gallery
with pieces on display. But the second floor is arranged like a home so customers can see how the artwork might look in their homes. Soori Gallery mostly deals in bronze and acrylic sculpSoori Ardalan tures, although she recently has begun selling art woven into carpets. Ardalan, who is originally from Iran and came to the United States in 1968, credits her heritage for her love of art. “We have a lot of art history in Iran,” she said. “I grew up with Persian carpets.”
GET YOUR FOLATE: A new report from the Centers for Disease Control says that folate levels among U.S. women have dropped 16 percent, increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s and of bearing a child with a birth defect. Try enriched cereals, oranges, and green leafy veggies for more folate. — quickandsimple.com PHASES OPEN HOUSE: Phases, by Turkle & Associates Medical Skin Care Center (11455 N.

BEER THAT’S GOOD FOR YOU: Stampede Light is a new beer by Lawrence Schwartz that purports to be good for you, according to Forbes. Where “the average beer” naturally contains 40 micrograms of pyridoxine (vitamin B6), Stampede Light has “140 micrograms, or 7 percent of the recommended daily allowance.” The formula was created by the late Joseph Owades, who also “created the first light beer in 1967.” — reveries.com
how it was preserved. MSG? If it doesn’t say “breast meat,” more than likely it has fatty dark meat and some skin in there, which is what you’re trying to avoid. That’s the wisdom of reading labels thoroughly. If you are not up to making the sauce, there are plenty of brands available at the local grocer. Read the ingredient labels and buy the one that does not contain high fructose corn syrup or visit your local health food store and buy organic. When it comes to buns, I know a good set when I see them. We all know that factory, assembly-line, processed white flour buns are nutritionally bankrupt. Look for Rudi’s Bakery brand whole grain hamburger buns. They are outstanding. Everyone offers the ubiquitous vegetable tray, but this time make it with organic, low-fat Stonyfield Farms yogurt. Take plain yogurt, and add fresh chopped dill weed, a squeeze of lemon juice, sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper, and some crumbled feta cheese. It can also sub as a dip for baked potato chips. However, corn chips are as fatty as potato chips, so I suggest purchasing the more nutritious black bean taco chips or whole wheat pita chips that

you can make at home. Spray each with Pam, then cut them into eighths. Now bake them in a 325-degree oven until they just begin to get crisp and brown on the edges. My final snack suggestion is Organic Chicken Breast en Brochettes. Purchase as many chicken tenders as you need and marinate them in low-sodium soy sauce, real maple syrup, several drops of toasted sesame seed oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped ginger, 1 tablespoon of garlic-chile paste. I say REAL maple syrup, because most pancake syrups, like Aunt Jemima, are made from pure high fructose corn syrup, just like that SunnyD slop. Be sure that the wood skewers also get soaked and marinated over night. Snacking in this fashion will definitely add years to your life and “W’s” to the winning health stats. Go Cubs!

ow that we’re into the baseball playoffs and the Colts’ season, it’s time to start thinking about the snacks you’ll serve when your neighbors accept an invitation to watch a game on your new 52-inch plasma screen. Instead of the normal fare of pizza with four pounds of cheese, barbeque chicken wings containing 400 calories each, or the traditional cheddar cheese and taco chips, may I suggest some snack ideas that are simple, full-flavored, and a snap to throw together? Wendell Fowler Sloppy joes are always a hit, but the ground beef is a tad fatty, so use ground turkey breast meat. If you want to cut out most of the fat, use soy crumbles and add a teaspoon of Better than Bouillon beef paste. Ask the store manager if you can’t find it. To darken the meat to look more like hamburger, use mushroom soy sauce like you would Gravy Master. Be careful and check the ingredients, not just the nutritional information, to find out

time and/or money just to figure out that you have no choice but to stay with Vista. Depending on your reasons for wanting to downgrade, you may be better off to go through the learning curve for Vista instead of creating other headaches. It’s just a matter of time before you will be forced to use Vista (although that time frame is not clear at this point), so if there are no major compatibility issues with your software or peripherals, you may want to modify Vista to be less frustrating (such as disabling User Access Controls to stop the constant warning messages). If you need help figuring out what to do, ask a technology professional.

there is another more challenging issue. Your newer computer that was designed to run Vista may not have drivers to operate with XP. Every hardware component in the computer (the motherboard, video card, BIOS, network card, USB ports) needs a driver in order to be recognized by Windows. These drivers are created by the manufacturer of the component. If the manufacturer never intended the component to be used in XP, it never wrote a driver for it in XP. We have seen this scenario across the country from virtually every brand of computer that we have been asked to downgrade to XP. We, or you, may get 90 percent of the system operating properly, but finding a driver for the last couple components may become an issue that, unfortunately, you won’t know about until after you have started down this thorny path.

ustomers across the country with new Windows Vista machines are looking to revert back to XP. Although it might seem like a good idea since you are familiar with XP, it might actually create a whole new series of problems. There are two major issues that you must consider before taking this very drastic measure: support and software drivers. Most computer manufacturers will not provide support if you install a different version of Windows from what came on it. Whenever you make any changes to a computer, you are giving the manufacturer an excuse not to help you ever again. Their position Gary Hubbard that “they will only Technology support what they sold you in the form that they sold it to you” can be their loophole to deny you service, so I would strongly recommend that you not give them this ammunition if you ever want to be able to call them for support. Even if you don’t care about their support,

A lot of people belive that they just need to turn their furnace on and that’s all there is to it. They don’t change their filter regularly and never have their furnace checked. This can affect how the furnace heats their house, how much it costs, can shorten the life of the equipment and can become a safety hazard. A proper cleaning will include the motor and the air vents. Cleaning the air vents on the motor can help extend its life and also cut operating cost by keeping the motor from overheating and using more electricity to operate. Dirty air filters, blowers and indoor coils will affect the air flow, causing your furnace to overheat. If the gas pressure on the gas valve in your furnace is not set right it can also cause your furnace to overheat. If the gas pressure is too low, condensation may form. Condensation in the furnace will cause rust and shorten the life of the furnace. Preventive maintenance will not guarantee that your system will not break down or fail early but

it will generally extend the life and save operating cost. Carbon monoxide is unburned gases from fuel-burning appliances. In a properly working appliance, the unburned gases go out the flue pipe. If an appliance is not working properly, these dangerous gases can enter the home. Appliances are safe if operating properly but also can be dangerous if they are not. You should have your furnace and air conditioner serviced every year to make sure they are working safely and efficiently. If you have a fuel-burning appliance in your home, you should have a carbon monoxide detector near the bedrooms to warn you of danger from the odorless gas. The safety and health of your family is more important than anything. If you have any questions, please call the company that services your heating and air conditioning equipment.

THINK SMALL: The big story today is small trends, writes Mark J. Penn at forbes.com. Really small trends. These so-called “microtrends” are often counterintuitive, usually followed by 1 percent or less of the population, but they are pursued passionately and are fundamentally reshaping our society. Think about it. On a planet of 6.6 billion people, or in a nation of 400 million, 1 percent is more than enough to generate a new social movement, a successful product, a best-selling book, a new religion or a significant political force.

• OUT — Dark wood cabinets, black granite countertops, slate and tile floors.
• OUT —Fruitcolored tiles, laminated countertops, overhead lighting, fiberglass shower/tubs, toilet cozies, wallpaper and whimsical shower curtains.
• IN — The fern bar look in the kitchen has finally gone the way of, well, the fern bar. The doyens of décor have declared, “Let there be light.” White cabinetry with silver or matte black pulls and hardware is making a strong comeback, skylights brighten and open the room and countertops, while still often in granite, are showing up in variety of tones from gray and gray-green to rose. The central island remains as a combination work and entertaining zone, but look for new elements that reflect the multipurpose functions of today’s kitchen — an under-counter TV (or one built into the door of the fridge), a computer station or an easy chair in the corner and a wrought iron wine rack on the wall. Chrome, stainless steel and brushed metal are the finishes of choice for appliances. Practical features like motion-activated, hands-free faucets and a fixture above the stove for filling pots are increasingly common, and today’s home chef is more likely to be standing BellaChic_CM5.705x2.469 9/29/07 5:39 PM P on a hardwood floor.
• IN — If the kitchen is dedicated to function and efficiency, the bath is its indolent, sybaritic sibling. Over the past two decades, the sheer size of the bath in American homes has metastasized, with many master baths now large enough to comfortably accommodate and entertain your friends. And their friends. Once again, the look is natural, with muted earth tones, lots of wood, stone and classic tiles. Fixtures often echo those of the early to middle of the last century. In fact, you’re as likely to find an updated version of the deep claw foot tub as you would a Jacuzzi. Lighting should be soft (preferably on dimmers) and indirect (except at mirror level). Little luxuries like Egyptian cotton bath sheets, heated towel racks, and multiple shower heads add to the overall spa-ification of what none dare just call “the bathroom” anymore. — msn.com

BEST HAIR DRYER: A panel of hair stylists organized by Women’s Health Magazine selected the Elchim Il Futuro ($169, elchimusa. com) as the best hairdryer available. It received the highest marks for its powerful 2,000-watt motor, ionic technology (to speed drying and fight frizz), and light weight. The polypropelyne shell resists cracking, the nozzle design increases air speed for more efficient drying, and a heat-resistant plastic cone absorbs scalding temps so you’re not burned.

MCLAUGHLIN ON TOUR: Carmel resident Jon McLaughlin has two area concerts this week. He opens for Paolo Nutini Wednesday at the Murat Theatre’s Egyptian Room in downtown Indy. On Saturday, he performs at his alma mater, Anderson University, for Homecoming 2007.
Five Hamilton County painters – three men and two women ranging in age from their late 50s to 83 – have spent two decades together. No, it’s not a commune or some kind of religious cult! The informally titled art group known as the Wayne Street Connection, which spends every Tuesday painting together, includes M. Jayne Moore, Carmel; George Elliott, Henry Bell and Martha Stevenson, all of Noblesville; and Rich Ernsting, Indianapolis. The quintet has met for breakfast and then painted together since 1987. “It’s quite an accomplishment to stick with a group like this,” said George Elliott, a mostly self-taught painter who opens his studio for the communal activity each week.

Missing a week is frowned upon, but when no one could remember which week as Moore learned when she skipped once to they were painting together, they switched to
weekly meetings. Tuesday breakfast starts off with everyone sharing his or her most recent thoughts and experiences. For example, Bell and Ernsting, who make a regular tour of art fairs, keep the group in touch with artists and events in other areas. The group also maintains a scrapbook documenting successes, and they take field trips, sometimes traveling as far as Chicago or Cincinnati to see major exhibitions. To celebrate their 20th anniversary, the group took a rare Tuesday off work to spend the entire day at the Indianapolis Museum of Art before sharing a celebratory dinner. “We intended to see the exhibition of Roman art, but we spent most of our time in the galleries,” Moore said. “The trip really inspired us all.” The following week, it was back to business as usual. The group’s next project is a group show that opens Friday at the Hoosier Art Salon’s Broad Ripple Gallery. Called “A Pigment of Your Imagination,” the exhibition runs until Nov. 10. For information on the opening reception or gallery hours, contact the Hoosier Art Salon at 253.5340 or go to www.hoosiersalon.org.

After only being open about a month, The Journey finds itself doing good business, in part because of its free-standing building location on 96th Street, manager Ming Lin said. The Journey serves American dishes such as prime rib and steak alongside sushi and Hong Kong-style Chinese food. He said The Journey’s atmosphere, food and décor set it apart from other buffet restaurants. “It’s beautiful here,” Lin said. As for the food, Lin said The Journey has many more varieties of sushi than other buffet restaurants - there are 30 different kinds between the lunch and dinner buffets. Despite the fancy interior, Lin reassures customers the restaurant is casual. And while The Journey does not have a liquor license yet, Lin said it will probably have one in a month, and will serve wine and Japanese beer.

By Jonathan Brooks How does one critique a concert? Some people evaluate the success of a performance by counting the number of mistakes. Why go to a musical performance, however, listening for mistakes when the beauty and interest of sound patterns should be the Himmelheber focus? I prefer to consider the success of a performance in terms of the musicians’ ability to approach the ideal sound world the composer had hoped to create. At this point, I should be addressing Shostakovich’s Festive Overture and Saint-Saens Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, the first two pieces at Saturday’s Carmel Symphony Orchestra Concert at Westfield High School. However, since I did not hear them, I cannot do that. Instead, I will offer the following travel tips to unknown destinations: 1) leave earlier than you think necessary, 2) take a map, and 3) stop and ask for directions. Unfortunately, failing all three, I have accidentally promoted politically incorrect notions concerning the male gender. By all accounts, however, Carmel native
David Himmelheber, the cello soloist for the concerto, played beautifully leading to a standing ovation. The Carmel Symphony successfully realized the optimistic and uplifting nature of John Keltonic’s work, “Our Wings Have Caught the Wind.” Particularly striking moments occurred with the lovely but understated slow theme of the middle section and the high string tremolo prior to the original theme restatement. Though not convinced this is a great work, I appreciate the initiative to present contemporary symphonic music. The raucous and enchanted qualities of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite shone through particularly well in the extreme mood shifts between the nearly continuous movements. The wind, horn and cello soloists handled the solo dialogues elegantly in the “Round Dance.” At only one point did the illusion falter with the brass exchange early in the “Infernal Dance.” I look forward to hearing a complete program by the Carmel Symphony in the near future. Jonathan Brooks is Associate Professor of Music at Anderson University.
