Et. cetera

Fame strikes Carmel once again By Mark Tague • editorial@youarecurrent.com It’s a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to be featured on one nationally-read magazine. However, what about being featured on two such publications? Only Carmel could pull it off in less than two months. With the September publication of Money Magazine’s top places to live in the U.S., Carmel took first for cities with a population more than 50,000. That was not the end of Carmel’s prominence, however, as last week the city was featured on the front page of USA Today. The most recent recognition concerns the new designs taking place throughout the Arts and Design District. “(The Money Magazine release) was a very exciting time at city hall,” Mayor Jim Brainard said. “A lot of people have contributed to making Carmel a wonderful place and getting this validation from an outside publication like this is important. It’s not a time to sit back on our laurels, but rather a time to use this to attract really great jobs.” For a city with a population of 80,000 people, Brainard was thrilled with the Money Magazine distinction. Whether visible to the naked eye or not, those articles do more than report on the city; they also publicize the city for potential business ventures. “I think it shows recognition of the things we have done in this community, that we are working, that we are on the right track,” Brainard said. “But we need to

continue to do them better. The competition’s going to get tougher.” The latest article is not purely coincidental. “We are working with a consultant to try to get our name out to attract businesses here,” said Brainard. “It’s a part of our program to promote our city and increase our development efforts. We contacted USA Today and I met with a reporter initially outside of Washington, D.C. Then, the reporter visited Carmel a couple of weeks before the article appeared.” The city gained more popularity than expected from the piece; Carmel also received an official endorsement from two completely independent sources, both of which are shining a positive light on the city. “It affects the city (because), it’s great, number one, for all the people who live here,” Brainard said. “It’s great for all the people that work in city government, our school system, the library and the other civic institutions in Carmel as well as businesses.” After each story ran, Carmel received significant offers from potential city planners. Those relationships set between the city and those entities were not only for one event, though; they also work for the city now. “Wonderful things happened,” Brainard said. “(When someone asks,) ‘Why should we pay attention to a small town in Indiana?’ I can whip out those articles and say, ‘This is why.’ It gives me a great tool to get Carmel on the map.”

find the fASteSt cAre St.Vincent Medical Group welcomes Dr. Christine Gupta Dr. Gupta specializes in laparoscopic procedures and general surgery at St.Vincent. All of us at St.Vincent are pleased to announce our newest addition to the St.Vincent Medical Group team: Dr. Christine Gupta.

Dr. Gupta is an experienced, board certified surgeon specializing in laparoscopic procedures, endoscopies, colonoscopies, breast procedures and other general surgeries.

Dr. Gupta’s interest in medicine began at a young age when she became fascinated by biology — especially that of animals. At first, Dr. Gupta considered becoming a veterinarian, but as she learned more about human anatomy, she realized becoming a medical doctor — and specializing in human health — was her true calling.

Dr. Gupta believes the best way to maintain good health is through preventative care. “I believe it’s more important than ever for people to have preventative health screenings — especially colonoscopies and mammograms. These screenings save lives.” Therefore, if you are at high-risk of colon cancer, meaning someone in your family has had the disease, it’s important to get a colonoscopy screening 10 years prior to the age at which your family member was diagnosed. Dr. Gupta is currently welcoming new patients, to schedule call 317-582-8061.

Now Open: Cottage Animal Clinic By Mary Allgier • editorial@youarecurrent.com A little Victorian house in downtown Carmel isn’t where you’d expect a vet to open an office, but that’s exactly what Dr. Greg Borlik did. Cottage Animal Clinic is now open for business at 420 N. Rangeline Road in Carmel. Borlik, an Indy native, is a graduate of Indiana University and Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine. He then moved on to work at several animal hospitals and practices around the city. “My whole philosophy with the hospital is to create an environment that’s like going to friend’s house,” Borlik said. Cottage creates a more welcoming environment for pets and their humans, especially those who get nervous at a vet’s office. Borlik is also the only vet at Cottage, so a patient will see the same doctor every time. “I like knowing what’s going on with the case,” Borlik said, “Those big corporate, mega hospitals have several veterinarians there so you never get to know the people. After working at a clinic in Greenwood for a while, Borlik decided to open his own practice. Since opening a month ago, the clinic has been doing work for the Hamilton County Humane Society. “We’ve been doing a lot of work for them. Helping them out with the animals they’re try-

Have a SAFE and HAPPY Halloween!

The Cottage staff ing to get adopted,” Borlik said. “It’s a way that keeps us busy and lets us give back to the community as well. Along with getting to know pets, Borlik wants to help owners form a plan for their pet by educating owners on their options. “Part of what I do, what I try to pride myself on, is really trying to take the time to listen to people, but also educate them,” Borlik said. Borlik decided when he was very young he wanted to be a vet, and after visiting his dad’s office at IPL as a kid realized he didn’t want to work in a cubicle environment. “I love my job it’s so much fun. Everyone says ‘Oh, you must really love animals,” and I do. Of course, I love animals, but my favorite part is meeting new people,” Borlik said. “It always makes for an interesting day. Who are you going to meet today?” Cottage Animal Clinic is open Monday-Friday from 7-6 and Saturdays from 9-1. They’re also giving away a free physical for brand new patients who come in.

Vento to step down By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com

Carmel’s James Vento, President and CEO of Easter Seals Crossroads, shared his plans to retire last week at the company’s annual meeting. Vento’s retirement, effective March 31, 2013, will mark 32 years in leadership of Easter Seals Crossroads, an organization that improves the lives of children and adults with special needs, disabilities or challenges by promoting inclusion, independence and dignity. Vento may have been the figurehead of Easter Seals, but he was quick to share credit with and recognize the dedication of his staff members, board members, volunteers and donors. “An organization cannot be successful without Vento the dedication of the Board of Directors working to ensure that the mission can be fulfilled,” he said. “Many things would not get accomplished without the support and time of volunteers.” Vento regards his appointment as the President and CEO of Easter Seals Crossroads as, “One of his most significant career achievements.” It is estimated that more than 120,000 people have received life-changing services during his tenure. Growing from a $2 million organization in 1980, Easter Seals Crossroads now operates with an annual budget in excess of $14 million. Vento recalls a colleague telling him years ago that Easter Seals Crossroads was “the most respected agency in the state” — which placed an incredible expectation on his shoulders — but, “one which I never regretted.” Vento has received many honors for his formidable accomplishments throughout his career. Most recently, he was awarded the James Pauley Lifetime Service Award by the Mayor’s Advisory Council on Disability in recognition of his contributions in promoting the inclusion and independence of persons with disabilities. Additionally, Vento has received the Sagamore of the Wabash Award, the National Easter Seals Madders’ Award for Management Excellence, the INARF Professional of the Year Award, the Indiana Rehabilitation Association Beacon Award and the Thomas C. Hasbrook Award presented by Bosma Industries. Easter Seals Crossroads’ Board Chair, Jeff Hokanson, has known Jim and worked closely with him for ten years. “Jim has defined what it takes to be an effective CEO of a nonprofit agency,” Hokanson said. “His influence is seen at every link in the chain, from governmental agencies to funders, employees and consumers. His influence will be greatly missed.” Task force makes Carmel arrest – On Oct. 24, members of the Hamilton/Boone County Drug Task Force arrested Nathaniel Thomason, 18, in the 1200 block of Central Drive East in Carmel. Mr. Thomason was charged with Dealing in a Schedule I, II, III Controlled Substance, a Class “A” Felony; Possession of a Schedule I, II, III Controlled Substance, a Class “C” Felony; and Possession of Marijuana, a Class “A” Misdemeanor. Mr. Thomason was transported to Hamilton County Jail. Anyone wishing to report any type of illegal drug activity for Boone or Hamilton counties should contact the Hamilton/Boone County Drug Task Force Drug Hotline at 571-2545.

Volunteerism

Hoping to make a difference Commentary by Jeff Worrell There is no shortage of energy and enthusiasm for favorite projects associated with clubs and organizations at Carmel High School. From bake sales to car washes, the list is practically endless for students who want to work hard for the good of others and raise money for local charities. Although there may be others like Sharmila, I was especially awed by the sincerity and determination of Ms. Paul and her effort to help young girls, not locally, but living on the other side of the planet. In January of this year, CHS Junior Sharmila Paul created The CHS Living Hope Club. Her group has two primary goals. First, the Living Hope members want to raise awareness about the horrific issue of female infanticide. But more than just raising awareness, Sharmila’s team wants to do something about it by raising funds to support a safe haven for girls who might otherwise be killed. According to Sharmila, she watched a 20/20 documentary about the problem and instantly became passionate. During the show, she learned that it is very common in some cultures to kill female babies because they are viewed as a burden to the family. She said, “On a personal level, it frightens me to think that being a girl of Indian descent, I could have faced this fate if I had been born to a family in India which

viewed daughters only as burdens. And it astounds me, as well as my club members, that in this modern world where we dream of women’s equality and where women are some of the world’s great leaders, these girls are denied their right to live and fulfill their potential.” So, instead of just talking about it, The CHS Living Hope Club is taking action. By Nov. 14, they hope to raise $5,000 to send to Unique Home For Girls in Punjab, India. With the money, the orphanage will be able to purchase blankets, books and make improvements to the living quarters of countless young girls. So far, they have raised $242 with a recent bake sale and have other money generating activities planned for the rest of the year. At 21 members strong with a clear mission, The CHS Living Hope Club is looking at every opportunity to generate cash in order to achieve its goal. When I asked why my column and why The Current in Carmel, Sharmila said, “Because you reach the adults who have credit cards.” To support this humanitarian effort www.livinghopeclub.org.

Worrell column misses mark Commentary by Rick Sharp

Unfortunately Jeff Worrell’s recent article misses the mark, as too often happens. You would have to live in a remote corner of the world to not have realized he was writing about me and my efforts, in his portrayal, to harass the wonderful volunteers we are so fortunate to have in Carmel. Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth. We earned the title of the best city to live in in the United States because of, in large part, the wonderful people who volunteer for Carmelfest, the International Arts Festival, Rock The District, the Farmers Market, Artomobilia… Shall I go on? My critique, as Mr. Worrell well knows, was reserved for the “volunteers” that racked up more than $300 million in debt. The “volunteers” that declared, with Mr. Worrell’s compliance, they always intended to refinance this debt through the City Council. Perhaps an advance discussion with members of the Council might have been warranted. What was the assumption – ‘We will build it, they will pay?’ Mr. Worrell is one of those “volunteers” and he was quoted in another publication as saying that knowing what

he knows now he would do it all over again. Pretty sobering! If we break that down to what he appears to be really saying we can interpret the statement as meaning this… Knowing what I know now I would, once again, conspire to circumvent the statutory authority of the fiscal body of the City to amass hundreds of millions of dollars in unsustainable debt that I would then expect to place on the backs of Carmel taxpayers. Regardless of how pretty the buildings may be we are a country built on a system of laws. This system provides for checks and balances and Mr. Worrell “volunteered” to circumvent them. Jeff, I appreciate all you do for Carmel in so many other roles, but not this one and I think it is past time for you to move on to other challenges! Jeff said politics can be a dirty business but I do not agree. Those, however, who work to circumvent the structure of government and politics, can find they get a little dirty!

Government

Why all the secrets? Commentary by John Accetturo Involvement in politics and local government was never even close to being on my radar screen. However, one day that all changed. The reason it changed was because I realized that, as a resident of Carmel, I rarely got information about what was going on in local government until it was too late. So I wasn’t really surprised about the secret deal concerning a $100,000 payment by the Carmel City Center Community Development Corp. to the former CEO of The Center for the Performing Arts that was exposed by City Council President Rick Sharp at a recent press conference. Even as a city councilman, I found that a lot of information wasn’t available to me when I asked for it. There were always a lot of excuses and statute citations about why I could not get copies of documents. They even used the excuse that it cost too much money to copy documents that I requested. That’s interesting coming from Mayor Jim Brainard’s administration, which has spent billions. Likewise, I often was criticized by appointed and elected officials for releasing information and/ or documents that were public, in my opinion. Yes, I realize not all government information can be made public, but those items are few in number. When I tried to get help from Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s office to get documents released,

I just got a “Dear John Letter.” All this secrecy makes me feel that government doesn’t trust us. During the last several years, government at all levels in the United States has created a large number of boards, corporations and commissions that spend taxpayer money, create debt and make decisions that affect our daily lives. These shadow governments just keep making it increasingly difficult to obtain information. Carmel is no different with the creation of the 4CDC by the mayor and the former Carmel Redevelopment Commission. It has to make you wonder what they don’t want you to know and why. Yes, I do ask a lot of questions of government because I believe everyone has the right to know what our government is doing with our money and our city. The last time I looked, the elected and appointed officials of government work for us. I believe it is time to get some real transparency from them. Anything less than that has to make me believe that something is wrong in “Dodge.” Like the three branches of government, transparency in itself is a check and balance. It is about time Carmel residents get accurate and timely information about our City. John Accetturro is a Carmel resident and former member of the City of Carmel Common Council.

Cover story

INDY’S MOST UNIQUE EVENT CENTER

The view from the stage inside The Crane Bay

Carmel trio transforms blight to bling By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com From broken glass to Bacardi, from rehabilitation to Rolling Stone. That’s the story of The Crane Bay, downtown Indianapolis’ newest and most unique event venue. Three Carmel men have transformed what was once a stove factory and locomotive engine repair facility into an edgy, versatile space that sits in the shadow of Lucas Oil Stadium – but in the shadow of no other room of its kind. “We were having meetings downtown last couple years at the Hard Rock Cafe,” said Gary Padjen, president and founder of The Crane Bay, former Baltimore and Indianapolis Colt and vice president of the NFL Alumni Association. “A lot of guys came (to the Alumni meetings), and we ran out of room. We wanted to find a little frat house to make our own.” Padjen ended up with a lot more than a little frat house. In August 2011, he was shown a vacant building at 551 W. Merrill St., just blocks west of Indianapolis’ thriving downtown. If it had potential, Padjen failed to see it at first. “I said, ‘Are you kidding me?!’” remembered Padjen. “There was oil and grease on the floor, windows broken out, birds living inside. It was unbelievable. I just wanted a cleaned up space with bathrooms. But, the Super Bowl was coming, the Big Ten (football) Championship Game was coming, and it had all this parking…” What happened next? “Some investors and myself spent almost a million bucks.” That was the beginning, but what’s transpired since is impressive. The Crane Bay hosted the Rolling Stone Bacardi Bash last Feb. 4, held the night before Super Bowl XLVI, which was a virtual who’s-who of the entertainment and athletic worlds. The 23,000 square-foot space has yet been a work in progress since earning that distinction, with the addition of intelligent lighting, a kitchen and a patio that further extends usable square footage and separates the venue from any other in the city. Padjen has had help on the journey from run down to resplendent, namely in fellow Carmelites Jack Bayt and T.K. Nelson. Bayt was the founder of Carmel-based Crystal Catering, and now is a real estate investor. He functions as oversight at The Crane 16 | October 30, 2012

From left, Jack Bayt, Gary Padjen and T.K. Nelson Bay, while Nelson, a former Bayt employee, has restarted oncedormant Crystal and operates out of three locations – Carmel’s The Fountains, The Sanctuary in Zionsville and Padjen’s place. “I have a lot of real estate I’m involved with, but I didn’t want to be in the catering business again,” Bayt said. “Those are a lot of long hours and nights. But I told T.K. if he could put together a team, I had a second facility to move him into – with Gary’s deal and The Fountains, he’s had a great start.” For Bayt, who has interests in a lot of attractive addresses in the area, a reverence for what he’s a part of speaks volumes. “It’s an urban, edgy venue,” he said. “There’s nothing like this, and being located right across the street from the stadium is great for convention business. It’s designed to interact as indoor /outdoor space, and that’s unique because no one has that downtown. Flex space is the key, and the different events we can put on really displays the versatility. And parking downtown in unheard of – this facility has plenty of it.” “It’s about presentation; the lighting we have in here can affect the look of the building,” added Nelson. “We have a house sound Current in Carmel

system in here now, a lot of kitchen space and a 16x24 stage, great size. We fit almost any demand. It is a very functional space.” The Crane Bay is certainly a story in and of itself, but its crew has its own stories to tell. For Nelson, he was a Crystal employee under Bayt and found himself selling food for a living when an opportunity arose to re-start Crystal after its 1995 sale to Marsh Supermarkets, and its 2007 dissolution. “It was special to have the name Crystal re-launch because that was the name I helped build along with T.K.,” said Bayt. “To see it go was a shame but he had bugged me and bugged me to restart it – I didn’t want it to come back unless there was a good team to do it. (When the chance arose), I called him and he said, ‘I thought you were never going to do anything, I just took a new job.’ I told him he’d better quit.” Padjen has his own yarn to spin. It revolves around the 1984 move to Indianapolis from Baltimore by the Colts, and the godfather of his two sons: Jim Irsay. “In 1981, we’d see this young guy sneaking through the locker room, going to lift weights,” he said. “No one knew who he was, until one day someone said it was the owner’s (Robert Irsay) son. We ended up becoming friends and his dad was shopping the team around. He’d call me up for two straight years and tell me we were going to Jacksonville or Tennessee or Arizona – it always fell through. “The night he told me Indianapolis was a done deal, I didn’t believe him. I lived right across from the team headquarters, so he told me to look out my window. There were the Mayflower trucks. I was the only player who knew, and I ended up leading the trucks to Indy in my Ford Bronco.” A great tale for sure, on par with the one he’ll eventually tell about The Crane Bay. www.currentincarmel.com

Opinion Obama speaks like 2nd coming of GWB

Life lines It is our position that eliminating one’s land phone line may not be in our best interests. Although this is a growing trend, one element of not having a land line is how it affects calls to emergency services. Calls from cell phones are automatically directed to the nearest cell tower geographically. A call from a suburban or rural area conceivably could be directed to a tower in a neighboring county. Since first responders have designated areas to cover, a responder in southern Madison County could not respond to a call from northern Hamilton County. The time that it takes to redirect the call to the appropriate personnel could be the difference between life and death. Additionally, those who have moved and decided to retain cell numbers may want to reconsider that decision as well. Not only could an emergency call be directed to the wrong tower, but the old, likely out-of-area code number will not provide the agency with good information on the location of the emergency. Land lines may be old-fashioned, but they do automatically go to the appropriate emergency service agency.

Trust me

Commentary by Terry Anker

Who do we trust? Do we trust our spouses? Our kids? Our parents? Ourselves? Or, do we trust strangers? Experts? Journalists? Government? This simple question has vexed human kind since we could first consider our own existence. Perhaps it harkens back to time in the cave when we most had to rely upon one another. If we chose a weak or irresponsible member to our clan, we’d likely not survive very long in the harsh reality of a sabertoothed world. So, we developed mechanisms to measure the veracity and reliability of the promised commitment of others. The most successful of us became acutely aware of deceit and chose to align with those more worthy of our confidence. The trust in us of others became crucial to our flourishing. Even now, centuries later, political candidates vie to convince us of their genuineness in a desire to advance their own agenda. But trust affects not only the trusted but also the beneficiary of that bond. Isn’t one

who expects, demands or even profits from the trust of another in turn responsible to be trustworthy themselves? For example, isn’t one who expects honesty and integrity from their own children creating a compact whereby they are held to exhibit that same honesty and integrity themselves? Of course, one can only be held to account for our own actions – we are not our brother’s keepers. Yet if we are honorable, can’t we expect honor from others. And if we choose to prevaricate, shouldn’t we expect others to practice treachery? Even then, we are never sure of another’s uprightness. Perhaps this reality roots the maxim, “in God we trust, all other must pay cash.” People are flawed and truth requires difficult choices. But even in a realm lacking a carnivorous threat, can we hope to survive without trust? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

While we're feeling just a bit more confident about the outcome of the presidential election on Nov. 6, we still strongly believe Republican challenger Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, has squandered an opportunity to blow up incumbent President Obama's oftrepeated stump speech that goes like this: “We can't go back to the failed policies of the past.” Actually, we agree wholeheartedly with that, but not in the way of which Obama would approve. You see, we believe our president has become the new George W. Bush, doubling down on failed policies that simply don't work. In other words, we fervently believe Romney should say that he agrees with the president in that we should not go back to the failed policies of the past. Those would be Obama's own policies, if you were wondering. ••• Musings from the third presidential debate: Did it strike anyone else that Obama seemed edgy and highly agitated, while Romney seemed more “presidential?” … Debate go-between Bob Schieffer of CBS News was the best of the three moderators in this series.

Formula a savior in nursing situations Commentary by Danielle Wilson Every once in a while I feel the need to rant. This is one of those times. In the hotseat today– lactation consultants. And before you hang me out to dry, let me state that, of course, breast milk is awesome. Go breast milk! Not so awesome are the pushy, condescending, self-righteous women who make you feel like a crackhead mama when you choose to use formula. Case in point: my twin sister. She is a firsttime mom who lives away from family. Her newborn daughter was constantly fussing and would never sleep for more than an hour or so. She still wet her diapers but didn’t seem to be thriving like the books say a little one should. So she did what any conscientious parent would do and visited the pediatrician. The doctor was disappointed in my niece’s lack of weight gain and recommended that my sister supplement her nursing with formula. He also suggested that she rent a breast pump so that she could see exactly how much milk she was producing. Worrying that she had been starving her baby and with post-partum hormones raging, my sister drove 40minutes to a lactation company to obtain the pump. Was she met with compassion? Validation? Encouragement? No. With a crying baby in her arms, my sister was subjected to a lengthy lecture on the unique advantages of breast milk and the destructive repercussions of Similac. This woman flat out told her that she

should ignore the advice of a medical professional and “just try harder.” Are you kidding me? How dare she! How dare she cause my sister, a new mother, to feel inadequate! Listen up, ladies. Breast feeding doesn’t always work. It’s not always easy and I firmly believe it is NOT always the best option for moms. I tried it with my first baby, and after two weeks of crippling sleep deprivation, I finally decided to let my husband lend a hand by taking a night feeding. The supplementing literally saved my sanity and probably our marriage. Babies two through four began receiving at least one formula bottle a day from the get-go so that I could be a happier (and, consequently, better) parent. And guess what? All of our children met every milestone on time and have been extremely healthy thus far. (Of course, that could also be because we chose to have them immunized, but that’s a whole ’nother column.) I am just so tired of hearing women criticize other women because they choose to use formula. Enfamil does not contain arsenic, people! It’s simply a healthy alternative to breast milk and in many circumstances, a lifesaver. And that’s my rant. Peace out.

Not impressed with Pence Editor, (In response to Jim Blessing’s Oct. 16 column) As a “fellow” retiree, I deeply appreciated your recent essay in Current in Carmel. Being from the East coast, my husband and I have observed your Hoosier elections from the minority viewpoint. Nonetheless, we have lauded the administration of Governor Daniels … Except maybe not the poor bookkeeping we’re now known for. But, as you’ve so kindly pointed out, the reality of Mike Pence being governor of our state is abhorrent to most caring citizens. With the probability of continued contentiousness in Washington, Hoosiers deserve to be led by a positive, forward-looking person who will have our interests at heart in the midst of near

Donnelly is the choice Editor, It’s a shame that we Republicans don’t have any reputable candidate for the office of U.S. Senator – like Dick Lugar. Lugar supporters like myself must not give credibility to the election of Richard Mourdock who would be an embarrassment to Indiana. Carmel and the surrounding communities have an untold number of historic Lugar supporters that can cast only one vote and that is for Joe Donnelly who has many of Dick Lugar’s virtues. This community is very intelligent with its vote. Phil Conklin, 46032

chaos in so many aspects of repairing our nation. It seems that Mr. Pence has so many things to hate (Planned Parenthood, affordable healthcare/insurance, the Supreme Court, women’s rights, public education, etc.) that he will have only his continued negativity to lead us with, as we slowly realize that he’s done nothing positive in his whole term as Senator. Why would his governorship be any different? A lot of our citizens wanted to draft Mitch Daniels for the presidency. If, instead, we replace him with “Mike” Pence as governor (thereby saying, “He’s almost as good”), we’ll be the laughing stock of the nation and the object of their disbelief and their pity. Joy Rose, 46033

All about the party Editor, I detect a little cognitive dissonance in your Oct. 23 From the Backshop comments. You express discontent with the two presidential candidates/campaigns and wish for a third party “in the worst way.” Yet, you begrudge Senator Lugar for his non-support to date for Richard Mourdock, who ran a negative campaign against Lugar. If you can wish for a third party, Lugar and his supporters can choose not to support Richard Mourdock. Just as you have reasons for disliking the major party candidates or campaigns, Lugar supporters may still have their reasons not to vote for Mourdock. Many Republicans, including six to nine challengers, immensely disliked Romney in the primaries, yet will probably vote for him in the general election because of party affiliation. Same could be said for the 2008 elections wherein many Hillary Clinton supporters cast their votes for Obama out of party loyalty. Whatever happened to voting for candidates on merit rather than mere party affiliation? And, yes I’ve liked the idea of third, fourth, or fifth parties for quite some time now. Still have my Perot for President ‘92 hat! Bruce Braden, 46032

Reske is not the answer Editor, This is the second time that Jim Blessing has endorsed Scott Reske using the Democrat Party talking points. A review of Reske’s record reveals his pattern of following his Democrat leader Pat Bauer in opposing Republican Gov. Daniels’ education reforms, local government reforms, balanced budgets, and many job creation bills (the state’s job creators have even endorsed his opponent, Susan Brooks). Thankfully, in spite of his opposition, the balanced budgets and much-needed education reforms passed, restoring fiscal integrity to state government and bringing expanded choice to parents and greater transparency and accountability to public education. Un-

fortunately, his opposition to the Governor’s local government reforms – proposals recommended by a bipartisan task force co-chaired by former Democrat Governor Joe Kernan and former Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Randy Shepherd, a Republican – helped defeat these muchneeded changes. Mr. Reske even joined Pat Bauer in his 30-plus day walkout to an Illinois hotel to protest debate on a jobs bill that pro-Democrat union leaders opposed, a move that would cost anyone else his/her job. Sending someone with that track record to Washington to vote for and follow Nancy Pelosi is the wrong answer for voters in Carmel and for all Hoosiers. Marcus Freihofer, 46033

Mail enhancement

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Happy Holidays, everyone! I know we’re still two months away from Santa’s visit, but no one told my mailman, or the companies that have already sent me over a dozen catalogs with giftgiving ideas. Can you guess which of the following items are legit and which ones I made up? Read on to find out. REMOTE-CONTROL CANDLES: What a dreamy idea. Instead of an aromatic wax candle to set a romantic mood, you dig around in the sofa cushions looking for a remote to click on the artificial illumination. The ad says the LED lights last 100,000 hours, which is more snuggling than I had in mind for the rest of my life. ‘NO POOP’ SIGN: This nifty lawn ornament is a large silhouette of a dog leaving a deposit on your front lawn. The word NO is printed in big gold letters on the squatting canine, a warning to people walking their pooches that your grass area is off limits for their pets’ daily business. Of course, since dogs can’t read, the sign makes Rover think this is exactly the place he’s supposed to go. DOUBLE-BARRELED MARSHMALLOW CROSSBOW: Get it before the Democrats pass toy gun control legislation. Completely harmless, unless marshmallows are toasted and contain a hot sticky center. Not recommended at airport checkpoints or diabetes support group meetings.

THE SIX-FOOT-TALL TEDDY BEAR: This lifelike stuffed bear is the perfect gift for any child, unless he or she just watched a story on the news about a lone hiker in Yosemite National Park who was mauled by a grizzly. SEASHELL TOILET SEATS: Easy to attach, this decorative commode replacement has preserved sea creatures embedded inside the Plexiglas frame. And what’s more comforting than the very thought that your bare bottom is about to make contact with shells, seahorses and starfish? THE REMOTE-CONTROL TARANTULA: Perfect for bullies, sadists, and practical jokers with absolutely no sense of decency. Comes in black, jet black, ebony and midnight blue. HANDS-FREE HAIR REGENERATOR: This device fits over your cranium and then zaps you with rejuvenating lasers, because if there’s one thing that will make hair grow (claims the manufacturer), it’s a little photo-bio-stimulation. The device is 100% hands-free, which allows you to scratch your head, wondering why you blew $700.00 on this ridiculous item. Guess what? These are all actual products. Maybe you’ll get lucky Christmas morning.

Robertson, Utnage win Halloween Writing Contest By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

Lindsey Robertson and Ashley Utnage have been named the youth and adult division winners in the second Halloween Writing Contest sponsored by Current Publishing. Youth Division Winner – Ashley Utnage Ten-year-old Ashley, a Fishers resident, said creative costumes are her favorite thing about Halloween. “I make it or by accessories,” she said. “I’m going to be a cowgirl with one of my friends (this year).” Utnage Ashley’s topic center on proper etiquette when wearing costumes while out trick-or-treating.

“I was brainstorming one day and had a really cool idea,” she recalled. “This story has a lesson.” Ashley enjoys reading magical adventures and added her own interesting twist of Halloween night trick-or-treaters. “Adding a magical spell would be a cool twist to it,” she said. Ashley also has written her own book, Talent Trouble, about a kid who likes playing his musical instrument but isn’t any good and ends up winning the local talent show. “I really like writing stories,” said the St. Louis de Montfort fifth-grader. “All the kids in my class know I write the longest stories.” Adult Division Winner – Lindsey Robertson What a difference a year makes. Robertson came across the inaugural Halloween writing contest last year.

Priscilla’s Pumpkins By Lindsey Robertson

Priscilla was a serial gardener. The landscape around her home was the picture of perfection: manicured lawn, freshly mulched beds, trimmed hedges. A yard no weed dare take root in. A yard all the more impressive because she maintained it single handed. She had been widowed some years before and the neighbors said gardening was therapeutic for her. Priscilla’s horticultural pride was the vegetable patch behind the house, which contained the epitome of a pumpkin vine. The plant produced a single, perfectly proportioned pumpkin each year. Priscilla was as well known in the neighborhood for her annual pumpkin carving as for her gardening prowess. Her pumpkins never suffered the indecency www.currentincarmel.com

of being hallowed; instead the pumpkin was left whole with intricate designs etched into the outer flesh. Sometimes the designs reflected events in Priscilla’s life, other times the spirit of the holiday. Several years ago there had been her late husband’s portrait, followed by a knife, a wrinkled human hand, then a raven, a cat, a trowel, and last year was her dachshund, Noodle. On Halloween, the un-carved pumpkin sat on Priscilla’s porch. She could not decide on what it should be. The first pumpkin had grown the year Jack died. No decision was needed that year as Jack’s face was already on the pumpkin when she picked it off the vine. The face had come as a shock— Jack’s body had never been found. Priscilla concluded the Jack pumpkin was a malicious prank and was relieved the next year when a plain pumpkin grew in. She’d cut the pumpkin off the vine and driven a knife in near the stem, intending to turn it into a proper Jack-o-Lantern.

“I wrote the story then but I didn’t have Internet and didn’t mail it before the deadline,” she said. When she saw this year’s notice, Robertson found her Robertson story, made a few changes and submitted it. While she has done creative writing in the past, this is the first writing contest the 29-year-old Noblesville has won. “I was aiming for something unique – not another haunted cemetery story,” she said. “I was trying to go for something a little different.” Decorations and pumpkin carving (the focus of her story) are what Robertson enjoys most about the October holiday. “I’m a grown adult that still decorates the house for Halloween,” she said.

warned you,” he said, hiding a grin. The old couple pulled into the driveway, and Robert hid behind a tree. He was scared they would get mad that everyone stole the candy. “Where did all of these pumpkins come from?” said the husband, clearly confused. The wife just smiled and said, “You’re tired. You need rest.” After the old man went inside, the woman walked over to Robert with the candy. He was frightened. “It wasn’t my fault. I tried to warn them.” “You did the right thing, so I am rewarding you. Thanks.” She handed over the gigantic candy basket with a warm smile on her face. Every Halloween, there’s someone who has a sign that says “Take one”. Every Halloween, there are kids who don’t make good decisions. But every year, there’s someone who does the right thing. Moral: Do what is asked and you shall be rewarded. The knife had vanished from her hand and the image of the blade appeared on the pumpkin’s surface. The following year she made the mistake of touching the top of the pumpkin. Angered by the loss of her hand, she had attempted to remove the plant, but it wouldn’t budge or succumb to any poison. Leaving a pumpkin on the vine was not an option, as some unfortunate animal wound up on the pumpkin’s flesh. Last year it had been Noodle. As evening approached, Priscilla made her way to the porch clutching a bowl of candy. She lost her footing on the uneven planks and the candy flew into the yard. Priscilla braced herself against the fall with her only hand. Her head came to a stop inches above the pumpkin. Then, with a sickening crack, her wrist gave way completely. While trick-or-treaters traipsed across Priscilla’s lawn in search of candy, their parents admired the pumpkin on the porch. The terrified expression on Priscilla’s self-portrait was alarmingly life-like.

Finding the right spot to party Tailgaters generally park in the same spot, every game, next to the same people. They like it that way. Some universities, such as Penn State, encourage this by assigning every space a number so that strangers really don’t have a chance to park next to regular tailgaters. Some colleges, like Northwestern and Indiana, have lots where they separate the louder student tailgate parties far away from other fans. Even pro teams have private lots for big spenders. This way the ambiance of any given tailgate lot should remain constant for its regulars with no big surprises. Now imagine that a stranger shows up in your reserved parking lot with a huge, loud, industrial generator that has no muffler. As this person sets up huge speakers and begins to raise the noise level by playing rock music, his entourage gathers and starts to consume large quantities of beer. This could change the mood of everyone in that lot who were used to quiet upscale tailgating. This happened to us at a recent game. It wasn’t appreciated. Several people complained to the police. Tempers were raised. A word to the wise is to have consideration for others who are near you. If you find yourself in an area where the tailgaters frown on your idea of a party, it might be good for you to move to a

Ingredients: 2 Kiwis peeled and diced; 1 small red onion chopped; 1 chopped red bell pepper; 1 clove of garlic (crushed); 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; 2 tablespoon lemon juice; 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes Preparation: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and serve on endive, baked chips or quartered pitas.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: How Much Will My Case Cost? During many initial consultations with clients, one of the most frequently asked questions at the outset of a case is “how much will my case cost?” Unfortunately it is very difficult to determine an accurate estimation of the total cost to finalize any given case, as each set of facts in a family law case is unique and can change during the pendency of the divorce. This difficulty is due in part because much of what may unfold during the pendency of a family law case, and thus the time necessary to complete the same, is unforeseeable from the outset. For example, while you may choose not to serve formal discovery requests, if the opposing party requests the same of you, your attorney will have to respond. Additionally, there are certain issues and/or procedures which are outside of your attorney’s control that may increase your fees. For instance, some county courts have local rules making mediation mandatory prior to a requested final hearing, thus this is a known cost. However, in other counties without such requirements, individual judges may still order the parties to submit to mediation or a form of alternative dispute resolution prior to attending and/or scheduling a final hearing, thereby increasing the fees to finalize a case. Attorneys should be upfront with their client about the potential time and cost required to finalize their case. There are steps clients can take to control the costs of their case to the extent that is possible. One manner to drastically reduce the attorneys’ fees is for the client to communicate directly with the opposing party. If parties are able to reach an informal settlement outside of the courtroom, not only will they save attorneys fees associated with trial preparation and attendance, but they will maintain control over the terms of the agreement. Additionally, if the parties are able to conference with their

Current in Carmel

attorneys for legal advice, but communicate directly with the opposing party to reach the terms of an agreement, in what our attorneys term “kitchen table” negotiations, the attorneys fees will be drastically reduced than if two attorneys must undertake substantial communication to come to a final agreement in any given matter. Custody Evaluations. In the event child custody is contested, either party may request that the Court order a custody evaluation be performed. If such is ordered or agreed to by the parties, then the family members will be interviewed by a psychologist who will determine what is in the best interest of the children with regard to custody and issue a report outlining his/her findings. Custody evaluations, while useful, can cost upwards of $5,000.00 depending upon the evaluator selected. Business Valuation. In the event you and/or your spouse owns a family business or a share in a closely held business, which is not expressly set aside from the marital estate pursuant to a prenuptial agreement, then the business will need to be valued in order to properly divide the marital estate. If you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement as to the value of the business, you may agree or request that the court order a formal business valuation. Business valuations may cost upwards of $10,000.00, depending on the type of business and the business valuator selected. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Safety Not Guaranteed • R, 85 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd In addition to being one of my favorite films 2012, “Safety Not Guaranteed” also nabs the title of Best Movie Nobody’s Seen. This tiny indie came and went from theaters quickly but inspired plenty of passion among the few who bought tickets. This quirky black comedy/drama is about a trio of journalists sent to check out a cryptic help-wanted ad for a companion to travel through time. “Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before,” it concludes. Aubrey Plaza, best known for TV’s “Parks and Recreation,” plays Darius, a cynical intern looking not so much for her big break as something to break the monotony. She finds it in Kenneth (Mark Duplass), the odd but oddly charming fellow behind the ad. Paranoid and defensive, he

slowly starts to let his guard down and a nascent romance begins to take form. Do people in this story really travel through time? I won’t tell you, not only to save the surprise but also because it’s not really germane to the success of this film. “Safety Not Guaranteed” does not dazzle us with sci-fi hocus-pocus, rather studies what effect the possibility of its existence has on a small group of sharply-drawn characters. What a daffy, dark, joyous ride. Movie: ARead more of Chris Lloyd’s review of current films and DVDs at www. captaincritic.blogspot.com or www. thefilmyap.com.

Getting productivity out of creating culture Commentary by CJ McClanahan In a world where everyone is struggling to differentiate themselves, most leaders agree that they’ve got to figure out how to get the most out of our team. You probably ask yourself the following questions regularly: • How can I get more productivity out of my staff? • What is the best way to bring a new person up to speed? • How can I keep a “bad apple” from influencing the rest of the team? I guarantee you that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of books available that deal with each of these topics. In addition, I am certain that most of the solutions discussed in these books are viable and relevant. However, because I know that you don’t like to read all that much, I’ll suggest a simpler solution. Before you’re able to get more out of your team, you need to develop the foundation upon which all of their performance is judged. You’ve got to build a great culture. This is hard work and most companies pay very little attention to culture because it’s difficult to measure. However, we’ve all been part of a rotten culture that is characterized by high turnover, unhappy customers and slow growth. So, how do you do it? I recommend a three

step process. • Define your Culture - Decide what is really important to your organization and get it down on paper. What are the rules (e.g. – we respect our coworkers, etc.) that should govern behavior? • Get Commitment from the Team – Have every member of the team review your culture statement and create a large poster that each team member can sign. Hang this poster somewhere that employees and customers can easily see it. • Live you Culture – As the leader, it is up to you to reinforce this culture every single day. Refer to your culture in meetings, memos and any other opportunities to have to interact with your staff. If you are interested in making a lasting and meaningful change in your company, make it priority to invest in your culture. The benefits will be worth the effort. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Grammar Guy

Is ‘alright’ all right?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question from Jeanne Flanders: I enjoy your commentaries. They bring memories of English classes during the 1950s with Mr. Eiler. Mr. Eiler had been my mother’s English teacher in the 1930s. Mr. Eiler had a list of words written on the black board that were not acceptable. If a student used one of his no-no words on any homework, that paper received an automatic goose egg. As the year progressed, the list of no-no words grew longer. At the top of his list was alright. Using alright was all wrong. Answer: I’ve received a couple of letters about the word “alright” recently. Some of them pointed out I’ve even slipped and used it myself a few times. Thankfully, my wonderful readers were on stand by to correct my error. I’m glad they did, as it highlights an important tenet of good grammar: Use of poor grammar should be pointed out and ridiculed as publicly and humiliatingly as possible, especially when the offender has the hubris to write a weekly column about it. Just kidding. But on to “alright,” which is, as you may have guessed by now, anything but all right. “Alright” is part of a growing list of colloquialisms which

has snuck its way into everyday usage. Other words on the list include “irregardless,” “anyways” and, shudder, “like” used as a conjunction. These words are so commonly (mis)used, in fact, that Microsoft Word includes them in its dictionary, save for “irregardless.” Now, as grammarians, we must leave room for the language to grow, and it should be noted that “alright” has its defenders. Those in its corner say it has gained a colloquial distinction from “all right.” “All right,” they argue, signifies that something is proper or agreeable, whereas “alright” signifies that something is average or simply acceptable. In that case, you might say a perfectly laid out table is all right in preparation for guests to arrive, but the lukewarm coffee you end up serving them is “alright.” I wouldn’t necessarily say that, mind you, but some might. At any rate, dear readers, please do not hesitate to nudge me back onto the path of proper grammar should you see me stray. It is only together that we achieve perfection, after all. Just be gentle about it, all right?

LIFESTYLE Et cetera Is ‘Double Victory’ possible in our divided nation? Commentary by Julie Osborne “But be ye assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer. One day we shall win freedom, but not only for ourselves. We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win YOU in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.” Those were the words of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther, Jr. in a sermon titled “Loving your Enemies” delivered Nov. 17,1957, at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, in Montgomery, Ala. These words linger on my mind as election day approaches and I wonder, in these days of mudslinging, dirt digging, and personal attacks, if “Double Victory” is even possible. Will there be a time when I turn on my television and actually enjoy commercials again? Will the blame game ever stop or will the accusation torch just be passed from one administration to the next? Most of all, I wonder if Dr. King were alive today what he would think of this election. What would he do? What voice would he add to the conversation? He was a man who had a passionLooking presidential – Esquire acknowledged a handful of U.S. politicians from around the country who take the oh-so political suit, turn it on its head or get rid of it. The list includes Vice President Joe Biden, vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and many others. –esquire.com

ate calling for justice and a dedication to “Reconciliation, not victory”. It was a calling that put his life and his family’s life in danger daily, landed him in jail and got him severely beaten numerous times, and it eventually led to his assassination. I wonder if things would be different if Dr. King were alive today, for his story is living proof that one person can make a difference. I hope and pray that one person will make a difference when elected on Nov. 6 and that his vision will reach beyond just winning votes but, in the years to come, winning hearts of contemporaries, world leaders, and the people he has been elected to serve. May our future leaders remember the example of Dr. King and “follow another way”, one which focuses on reconciliation and healing our divided nation so that one day a double victory may be possible.

Spirituality

The simple mark of a Christian Commentary by Bob Walters I am a Jesus-believing sinner at the foot of the Cross who hesitates when marking the “religious preference” box on personal information questionnaires. “Roman Catholic,” “Orthodox,” “Protestant,” and maybe a blank beside “Other,” typically are the Christian choices. Rarely – in fact I think never – have I seen a box that simply says “Christian.” Since “Christian” is all I really want to be, whenever possible I check “Other” and write in “Christian.” It’s minor mischief that makes me smile. Here endeth the rebellion. This is not to disrespect those who check a different box. I deeply appreciate Christianity’s rich and diverse doctrinal history – John 1:14, Christ on the Cross, Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection and ascension, the Pentecost, the Apostles, the Revelation, the church fathers, the canonization of the Bible, the heresies, Rome, Constantinople, Orthodoxy, the Council of Nicaea, the Great Schism, the Reformation, the Great Awakenings, the Evangelical Movement and on up to Humanae Vitae, the modern Popes, televangelism (for better or worse), and contemporary worship. It is of great intellectual comfort to my own faith knowing that smart, spiritual humans have been thinking, interpreting, praying and writing about Christian doctrine for 2,000 years. What I encounter on any given day as a Christian, in-

cluding any given Sunday at worship, may be refreshing, enlightening and new. But I know that Christianity is old, that God is eternal, and that Jesus is more than an idea. Jesus, the person who is also God, is the perfect and complete image of God’s original plan for a Creation that glorifies. Fallen humans are errantly prone to heap superfluous constructs – i.e., legalisms – upon otherwise simple faith in Christ; faith that should lift us atop God’s foundational glory of love, grace, mercy, freedom and joy. Too often that faith becomes buried beneath worldly systems and suffocated by sin, fear, guilt, works and sadness. I mourn for churches that sacrifice the truth of the Bible for the weight of tradition, and lament churches that perilously ignore tradition while over-worshipping expedient scripture paraphrases. I shake my head when churches promote worldly and off-point dogmas of “Jesus as Homeboy” or the “Prosperity Gospel of Me and My Needs.” The “living and true God” (1 Thessalonians 1:9) created, loves and pursues humanity. We are to love God, pursue His truth in Christ, and share that truth, that spirit, in love and service, with others. Christ should be the center of all.

Relationships

The power of family patterns Commentary by Kristen Boice Family patterns, both healthy and unhealthy, have a legacy and power for future generations. We are grateful for healthy patterns. The unhealthy patterns tend to be more difficult to confront. And, these can teach us the most when we are open to exploring them. How often do we stop and examine what we might be passing down to our children or those around us? Often, we are just doing what we know. It’s important to explore why we think, feel and act the way we do. Sometimes we are on auto-pilot and not awake to our daily actions and how they show up. Taking time to explore your unhealthy patterns will help stop the multi-generational transmission of issues. It is not about getting stuck or blaming our past. It’s about creating insight, becoming aware of what we want to do differently and then taking action to change it. Below are a few key areas to begin your journey of making a lasting change. 1. Explore the role of guilt and shame. Do you struggle with guilt or feeling bad? Do you use guilt to “get” your children to do what you want them to do? Was guilt or shame used in your family system as a form of control or manipulation? Write out how you use shame and guilt with others and yourself. Let go of the “should’s” and start accepting yourself for who you are. We are human beings who are imperfect. The key

is to grow and learn from our choices so we are more joyful, happy and at peace. 2. Look at boundaries. What were the boundaries in your family growing up? Were they rigid or did you not have any rules? We teach other people how to treat us. Did you learn to set healthy boundaries with others? Do you set them with your children? Write out what your boundaries are and start communicating what you will and won’t tolerate in a relationship. 3. Understand your feelings. Were you able to express your feelings or did you have to hold them in? Are you uncomfortable when others express how they feel? Some people neglect their own feelings and needs by taking care of others, even when others aren’t asking for it. This may lead to feeling resentment and neglected. You are not responsible for fixing or changing your whole family. You are responsible for you, your choices and making changes This is some of the most powerful and transformative work you can do. Be patient with yourself. It takes courage and a willingness to be accountable. It takes one person to change the pattern. So, start with you!

The Atlantis, Bahamas Commentary by Tracy Line I get many inquiries about the Atlantis in the Bahamas. I recently stayed there, so I thought I’d share information about it. The Atlantis property is huge. We stayed four days and did not see everything. What’s filling this expansive acreage? A 50,000 square foot casino, 140-acre water park (Aquaventure), 11 pools, fitness center, spa, 6 areas of lodging, a dolphin experience center, shops galore and the world’s largest marine habitat. Oh, and over two dozen dining venues and nightclubs. All in all, outside of the beautiful beach with crystal clear blue water, I felt like I was in Las Vegas. The resort grounds are well kept, the amenities numerous, and the staff goes out of its way for guests. I also got lost several times (just like I do at the hotels in Vegas). Lodging options aren’t inexpensive. There are 3 main towers: Royal, Coral and Beach. Royal is in the center of the property and is the priciest tower. Coral is next to it, and the Beach Tower (least expensive) is next to it. Beach Tower is the oldest, and furthest from everything but offers a nice beach. You can live in the condos at the Reef and Harborside Resort has apartments by the marina. At the other end of the property is the Cove. This resort is elegant, peaceful Koi ponds, contemporary style and a private pool and beach.

Art: Atlantis is the Bahamas (Photo by Tracy Line)

Rumor has it the stars stay here. I can’t blame them. The resort is not all-inclusive but offers meal plans. They’re a good idea: food, drinks and extras can get expensive (there is even a charge for the fitness center). The Atlantis is a nice property for those who like action, activity and water fun. It offers great family adventure and is a nice getaway for couples wanting to enjoy the beach, a la Las Vegas. Tracy Line is a travel writer and agent, and the owner of Noblesville Travel.

COLOR YOUR WORLD! Did you know that trained stylists, who have mastered the art of dimensional color, are able to strategically place highlights and lowlights that work with the shape of your haircut? Consulting with a professional, rather than trying to alter your hair color alone, will ensure that you achieve the look you are going for! Book an appointment at Salon 01 now and update your look for the new season!

CONCEALING YOUR BREAKOUT IN 5 EASY STEPS! 1. Treat: Using a salicylic acid treatment or a salicylic-glycolic acid combination. This will help dry out the pimple and assist in clearing the complexion. 2. Prep: Apply moisturizer and primer as usual, but avoid putting them directly on your pimple(s) in order to keep your impending makeup from slipping off. Tip: dab a clean cotton swab over the pimple to ensure it's free of product. 3. Apply foundation: After sweeping foundation on all over, use a nonlatex sponge on the area where there's a pimple to stipple/push the makeup into the skin. 4. Conceal: Take a fine-tipped concealer brush and use a little concealer that has salicylic acid built in. Lightly layer the medicated concealer right on top of the pimple, making sure the color completely matches your foundation. Remember: if you go too light, you're highlighting the area, if you go too dark you're creating a spot. 5. Powder: Finish with a light dusting of yellow-tinted powder. This will set the product onto the blemish, and also, that yellow tint will counteract any redness. KEEP YOUR EYES LOOKING BRIGHT WITH THESE EASY TIPS! 1. Curl your eyelashes and add a coat of mascara. The lift will help your eyes look more open and awake instantly. 2. Dab some concealer under your eyes to mask dark circles. Focus an orange-tinted concealer from the inner corner of your eye to the middle of your iris for the most natural coverage. 3. Line the inner rim of your eye with a white liner. This will make the whites of your eyes look larger, which will make you look more awake. 4. Pale skin is a giveaway of the sleep-deprived. Swipe bronzer along your hairline, from the tops of your ears to the bottom of your lips, and along your jawline. Finish with a dusting of blush on the apples of your cheeks.

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Adding a wine cellar in the basement Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home is located in the Laurelwood subdivision on the west side of Carmel. The current owner has lived in the home for 17 years and the house was built in 1991. While most of the basement was already finished, there was an unfinished area that provided room for the addition of a wine cellar. WHY BUILD A WINE CELLAR: The owner had been storing cases of wine in the corner of the unfinished utility room. “We have developed an interest in wine over the last 10 years. We visit Italy a lot and have begun buying wine over there. We had some rough racking in the basement, but it was not organized.” WINE STORAGE VS. TASTING TABLE: “At first we were going to have a tasting room built, but we realized that we would not be drinking wine in the basement so we made it into just a wine cellar.” ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS: The design called for the room to be framed out at roughly 10’ x 10’ and includes room for 1,100 bottles of wine. The room includes mahogany wine rack-

ing and trim with mahogany wood paneling on the walls. The door to the room includes 48” insulated mahogany double doors. The ceiling is covered with mahogany wood panels, trim and crown molding.

Before LIGHTING: The room includes new Xenon under cabinet accent lighting along with new recessed can lights on dimmer switches. DISPLAY CABINET: The back wall includes a base cabinet with a quartz countertop and backsplash featuring stacked mosaic stone tile under an arched valance. The floor tile is stone tile laid in a herringbone installation pattern.

After FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented on her favorite part. “The wine cellar is something we really wanted - it is so nice to have everything organized now. We can easily see what we have, and the area is much more functional and beautiful. It is the best room in the house!”
