Arts & Design District’s inaugural gallery walk throws open the doors to Main Street showplaces.

M

By Barbara E. Cohen

embers of the Carmel Arts & Design District Gallery Association, a new group with plans to encourage evening revelry along Main Street’s gallery row, has scheduled its first Gallery Walk for 6 to 9 p.m. this Saturday.

“This gallery walk is one of the most significant events to occur since the development of the Arts & Design District,” said portrait artist and gallery owner Deborah DeFazio Lyons. “The gallery walk signifies that the growing Arts & Design District now has enough galleries to justify a trip to Old Town strictly for the purpose of viewing and purchasing different types of art.”

Lyons has been waiting for this day since she opened her gallery – one of the first business owners to secure a place along refurbished Main Street – more than a year ago.

At Art and Soul Gallery and Frame, owner Wes Dwyer is “delighted we’re able to get this event coordinated.”

“We have a number of galleries participating, with a tremendous variety of work of high quality.” Echoing a sentiment heard all over Old Town, Dwyer said, “It will exceed most people’s expectations.”

OUR TAKE It is our position that now is the time for our fair city to take the lead with the Carmel Performing Arts Center. We have always liked the idea that our downtown is undergoing a transformation of astonishing proportions.

And we have been clear that we support the redevelopment – not blindly, but thoughtfully and intentionally. But recent news from the esteemed institution of higher learning, Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis, announced that their research showed that the sense of security held by common folk like us in downtown Indianapolis fell another 10 percent this year. When comparing this year’s and last year’s after-dark figures, the numbers fell almost

a quarter. Wow. That said, we are deeply concerned. Mayorelect Greg Ballard, Prosecutor Carl Brizzi and Sheriff Frank Anderson must bring their considerable abilities to correcting this distressing course. And we must help in any way prudent. In the mean time, struggling arts organizations should actively pursue a relationship with the Carmel Performing Arts Center. If art for the people is the objective, then bring the art to where we the people chose to be – all the people – young and not-so-young. If only 34 percent of us feel safe in downtown Indianapolis after dark, who are the arts organizations serving if they refuse to consider venues in other locations?

Voters – Hold the Pattern It is our position that the electoral process served its function, perhaps not perfectly but effectively none-the-less. Pundits will look for patterns to explain the fact that our local government was overwhelmingly (by political standards) returned to office while at the same time the equally incumbent and entrenched regime of the city to our south was uniformly swept out. We’d argue that there was no “throw out the bums” or “times are great” mood among the electorate, that endorsed some lemming-like approach to voting. Voters made decisions.

As shocking as it may seem to some, we

looked at the candidates, thought about the various options, and took action. Sure, we would have liked 100 percent of eligible voters to have shown up at the polls on election day – and sure, we would have liked a more healthy consideration of issues (some “candidates” elected not to respond to this local paper’s questions, thus declining an opportunity to freely broadcast their views to all of our community) – but we remain convinced that voters are not stupid. We make decisions based on what we believe to be best for ourselves and our families given the available choices. And then, we take action.

S

o Henry Winckler lost the mayoral race in Carmel. So did all the Democratic City Council candidates. What do they do now?

That’s easy.

Winckler should run for the Indiana House seat currently occupied by Jerry Torr, or the Senate seat currently occupied by Mike Delph. I’d love to see Winckler represent us in Indianapolis. He, Andy along with David Orentlicher, would actually represent our needs and desires, and not those of the religious right.

Jerry Torr is a nice guy. But let’s face it.

His is merely one more vote for Brian Bosma, and that’s the last thing we need. Remember, Bosma is the one who wants to write discrimination against gays and lesbians into our state Constitution. He wants to place restrictions on the reproductive rights of Hoosier women.

And he fights for Corporate America over the working man.

Bosma’s (and therefore Torr’s) government doesn’t “have your back” when you can’t afford prescriptions, when you’re one health crisis away from bankruptcy, or when you wonder how you’re going to afford college education for your kids. I’ll bet Henry Winckler’s government does.

I also can’t see Winckler wanting to waste valuable legislative time arguing gay marriage. And Torr was the one who sponsored

‘REPULSIVE’ TOPICS Editor: In your Oct. 23rd issue, Danielle Wilson wrote about “Ten More Things That Bugged Her.” While I enjoy relating to Danielle’s column on life with children, I, too, have something that “bugs” me. Her obsessive need to write a column on bodily functions, such as last week’s.

This is not what I care to read about. Seriously folks; it’s repulsive!

I have four children, and she is far more obsessed about the sights, sounds and smells that come out of her and her children’s body

FROM THE BACKSHOP

the legislation that put Indiana on the wrong time zone. Perhaps Winckler would actually work to put the Central Time vs. Eastern Time question to a vote of all Hoosiers. After all, he campaigned for mayor on a platform of “more input from the citizens.” If the Hamilton County Democratic Party puts as much effort into a Winckler Indiana House race as it did the recent mayor’s race, he might just have a chance. Especially the more Ray he ties Torr to Bosma.

As for Marnin Spigelman, I believe he should simply move to Fishers. Think about it. Fishers would be a great town for him. He could spend a total of many hours each year idling his car at all their overloaded four-way stops. He could enjoy their very small downtown, complete with no Arts District or Monon Trail. And State Road 37 has become the Keystone Avenue of Fishers, but with no immediate plans to relieve traffic congestion.

Fishers does have a big city park, but there’s no water park there to waste taxpayer money. And there isn’t nearly as much commercial development there as we have in Carmel – at least not yet – so his argument about mortgaging our future will actually be appropriate there. He should love it.

BALLARD THANKFULLY ON THE CASE We’re baaaaaaack! OK, go ahead, admit how much you missed us. (Stop, please! This is getting embarrassing.)

Good to know that Carmel’s Best Weekly Newspaper™ cinched the most significant election turnaround in Indiana history, isn’t it? Our endorsement of Republican challenger Greg Ballard in the Indianapolis mayoral race certainly did the trick. We’ll also share credit with the voters south of our city’s border who simply had enough of “Band-Aid” Bart Peterson and his mighty mismanagement of (fill in the multiple blanks). So Bart got the boot, and now we’re confident Ballard, no doubt with his hands full, will set the ship upright once again. Don’t underestimate the mayor-to-be’s decorated military background. We’re not talking police state here; this is about discipline and order, two critical elements sorely lacking in the recent past. We have every confidence Ballard will provide Carmel with a neighbor whose crime and other sordid problems will decrease dramatically. Be patient, but expect great results! *** Speaking of Ballard, the Marion County GOP threw a huge bash to thank volunteers at the Murat Center in downtown Indy. The bonus they received was Ballard’s amazing win and control of the City-County Council.

Lots of young faces with wide grins and tired eyes partied late into the night at the Murat, with many exiting to Broad Ripple or private parties afterward. And who can blame anyone for a late start on Wednesday? We’re sure many thought if they’d close their eyes, they might wake up to find it was all a dream and Bart had been re-elected in a landslide. Isn’t that what another newspaper predicted? *** Kevin “Woody” Rider hosted a private party after the polls closed to thank supporters

WE BELIEVE ALSO Editor: I read Mr. Greenberg’s Oct. 30th article, “A Miracle Hits Home,” with great interest.

Roughly 17½ years ago when our first child was born, my wife and I were preparing to leave the hospital to try our hands at parenthood. The nurse who was checking us out, for no apparent reason, put her hand on our son’s forehead and suggested that she check his temperature one last time before we left.

An hour later we learned that our son had Strep B Meningitis, a deadly and painful disease that is known for causing severe damage when it cannot finish the job. After three

Steve Greenberg & Brian Kelly and celebrate getting the most votes of any councilman on the ticket. Cheers and jeers for Carmel and Indianapolis-area results could be heard as precinct data rolled in. Weary poll workers, campaign staff and local celebrities exited by 10 a.m. Or, perhaps they all headed to the Murat to celebrate Ballard’s amazing win? Ya gotta love Woody. As commanding leads were mounting for him and incumbent Ron Carter in the at-large races, he told a visitor, “Hey, this is a long way from over.” He was serious. Game face. Priceless! *** Get your fannies out of the house and enjoy the Arts & Design District’s Gallery Walk on Saturday. This is the type of event – this one features at least eight galleries – that further legitimizes the district. And as long as you’re out and about, give yourself an early Christmas present. We have! *** Sadly, almost lost in the shuffle is the rapid progress being made on the Renaissance Hotel going up on North Meridian (North Pennsylvania entrance), just west of the Conseco campus. Here’s a didja: Didja know its contiguous convention center will provide a heretofore unavailable resource to this city?

Not for free, of course, but it’ll be there for the “renting.” We’re looking forward to its opening some time next year. Too, it gives Carmel yet another inn, one with a more upscale reputation. Something for everyone; that’s our city. Doesn’t stink. weeks in intensive care and another two years of tests and prayer, we were told that our son had no impairment at all from this disease, probably because of early detection. Indeed, today he is an A student, a talented athlete and a gifted musician. But for the hand of an attentive nurse, we would have taken home a very sick infant who, in the care of new parents, may very well have died.

Yes, Mr. Greenberg, we too believe in miracles. I had breakfast with mine this morning.

Scene from “The Golden Compass” the world. He’s not saying you have to believe that there are parallel universes and that God is a decrepit angel with Alzheimer’s. He’s just writing to entertain and to perhaps make you question some of your own beliefs. And far from what the e-mails would have you believe, Pullman’s message is not subversive in the least. His feelings on Catholicism in particular are crystal clear: he hates the church.

So what really honks me off is that my fellow Christians seem to feel that I can’t think for myself; that as an educated adult, I cannot discern whether a film is suitable for me and my family. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Pullman is a great writer and a wonderful storyteller. His heroes, despite their flaws, discover courage, conquer fears, and learn that love and friendship are more important than power. And from the trailers, the movie looks to be every bit as good. (The irony here is that the Christian agenda to blackball this film will ensure its success at the box office. I love it!)

Whether or not I take my children will be based on how appropriate the film is for kids under 10. Violence? Nudity? Language? These

are what I want to shield them from right now. But shelter them from a world where, in reality, most others believe differently? Miss an opportunity to teach tolerance and acceptance and that there are many positive faith choices out there besides Christianity? That would be tragic! If you don’t question your beliefs every once in a while, how can you know how strong your faith is? And for goodness sake, are we living in Nazi Germany? Are book bonfires on tap for next year?

I just want to encourage you to think for yourself. Read the book and then decide whether or not it’s something to which you want to expose your children. I’m wellprepared for backlash on this one; that’s part of living in a country where we have both the freedom of religion and of speech. But we also have the freedom to see any movie we please, especially if it’s showing at a theater with outstanding popcorn.

Peace out!

fter receiving three e-mails within 24 hours of each other, each from a different source, I am really worked up. So much so that I felt the best outlet for my frustration would be an article. Lucky you!

Here’s why I’m mad. The film “The Golden Compass” is being released Dec. 7. You might recall me mentioning this event as the only entertainment I have to look forward to now that the Harry Potter series is over and the sixth movie installment isn’t due out for another year.

The e-mails informed me to boycott the Compass film and to not, under any circumstances, let my children see it. Note that none of these Danielle individuals have read Wilson the book upon which the film is based; they were just going on information passed to them from various Christian groups and Web sites.

I, on the other hand, have actually read “The Golden Compass,” the first in a trilogy called “His Dark Materials.” The author is Phillip Pullman, a self-proclaimed atheist who wrote the stories to counter C.S. Lewis’ “Narnia Chronicles.” As one might expect from someone opposed to organized religion, Pullman attacks the Catholic Church and has his tale end with God dying. Obviously, Christians feel threatened by tales such as these, but I think they’re missing the point.

As psychiatrist David McBride listens to patient Elizabeth Cruikshank, he awakens to a new understanding of the unresolved issues in his own life.

Elizabeth relates the circumstances of an unhappy marriage and the rediscovery of Thomas, a man she had met before her marriage. Elizabeth’s story stirs David’s soul and releases him from a childhood guilt.

Multi-dimensional characters and insightful writing ground Vicker’s latest novel. She ties together psychology, art and religion in an exploration of self-discovery and longing for completeness.

consider telling the truth. It’s your choice.”

After a fretful night, the sixth-grader went to school and chose to tell her teacher, willingly prepared to absorb whatever consequences her teacher believed would be necessary. Her teacher sensed how badly the girl felt about not owning up to her actions and realized how difficult it must have been for the girl to speak up, especially since it was the next day and, most likely, forgotten by everyone involved. She said to the girl, “Thank you for telling the truth. That tells me more about your character than the spilled cola, and character counts with me.”

The moral of this story is that the girl held herself accountable for her actions, her mom empowered her to make a choice, and her teacher recognized the lesson by honoring the child’s integrity.

Do you have a “life’s lesson” you’d like to share? I’d love to hear from you!

sixth-grader was in an after-school play rehearsal.

Drinks were not allowed on stage, but she brought a can of soda anyway.

The soda accidentally spilled on the stage, which infuriated the play’s directors. The directors angrily asked, “Who did this?” The sixth- grader did not respond because she was afraid of being yelled at. Eventually, the directors continued with the rehearsal.

The girl was deeply saddened and frightened by not admitting to her misdeed. Upon arriving home, she told her mother of the situation. Her mother, recognizing her daughter’s dilemma, said, “While this isn’t necessarily an earth-shattering event, what do you feel you should do Becky Kapsalis about it?”

BUSINESSES WILL BECOME WEB BROADCASTERS

ow much time do you spend thinking about how businesses will market themselves and communicate with customers in 2012?

Probably not a lot. Even so, the year 2012 is only five years away and time flies, especially when technology creates exponential changes that can make six months look like six years.

Take online video, for instance. It was made famous practically overnight by YouTube. However, it was only made practical by the ever-increasing speed of the Internet.

(Don’t try to watch YouTube on a dial-up modem; you could David Cain paint your house in On Marketing the time it takes to load the video.)

As more consumers and businesses have high-speed Internet and more people spend time online, it makes sense that video will become essential in the Web 2.0 business environment. After all, video is the next best thing to seeing someone live and, if done correctly, it can create greater understanding without leaving your office. Think of the travel

savings alone.

In 2012, most companies will enter the broadcast business. Web sites will become micro-television stations. They will be the platform for a business to “broadcast,” or better yet, “niche-cast” information about their products, services, and even their employees.

Just like the public’s fascination with the lifestyle of a professional athlete, people are intrigued with the life of the average person (look at the popularity of reality TV ). Maybe less intrigued when stacked against the proathlete, but nonetheless willing to be drawn into their world. After all, great companies

have great people working there and making that personal connection between the employee and the customer creates an even stronger partnership.

No one can know exactly how the future will look. However, with television signals delivered via the Internet by 2010, it’s a safe bet that your “screens” will become even more interconnected.

Maybe we can finally abandon the term “television” and stick with the recently adopted and perhaps more fitting term for that monster in our basement – the “big screen.” But what does that make the cell phone? A “small screen”?

It’s becoming one big world of screens.

If you haven’t started thinking about 2012, it might just be time.

but the Langster’s flip-flop back wheel gives it a more nuanced identity. In its normal position, it functions like a traditional fixedgear bike. Invert the wheel, and the bike rides as a single speed, capable of coasting smoothly, efficiently and quietly. Use the fixed-gear setting when your route is primarily asphalt, and switch to single speed for hilly terrain and fatiguing treks.

EFFECTIVENESS CHECK: Garcinia (Garcinia cambogia) is the Ayurvedic word for Malabar tamarind, the fruit of an Asian evergreen tree. Overweight people who took hydroxycitric acid, a compound found in garcinia, in supplement form three times a day for two weeks ate fewer snacks and lost about a pound, says a 2002 study in the International Journal of Obesity. But subsequent studies haven’t confirmed those results.

It makes sense then for business people to treat themselves as if they were one of those athletes. We noticed teams that ate poorly, including ribs, prime rib, cream sauces, no vegetables, fruit cobblers with heavy cream, monstrous burgers and fries, processed cane sugar, fatty meats and everything deep-fried, were what the cellar dwellers in the standings were eating. They used to call vegetables and fruit “sissy food. However, now they eat them willingly.

Meat is not macho; it’s what’s rotting in your colon eagerly awaiting a chance to cause disease. The NBA still serves meat, but smaller, leaner, locally produced meats are the word of the day. Do you smell what I’m cooking?

When consummating a business deal at restaurants, where it is the most difficult to eat healthy, use common sense. Ask your waiter questions. Avid heavy, greasy food that will have you sound asleep again at your desk while the competition just snagged that multimillion dollar account you thought was in the bag.

If you snarfed a doughnut for breakfast with a Coke, then by 10 a.m. you struggle to stay awake, right? Start your day with delicious hot Irish Steele cut oatmeal cooked in apple cider, with walnuts, fresh cranberries or blueberries and cinnamon.

Quaker Oats are too processed and turn into glucose in your system.

We can all agree sports are 90 percent mental. This behavior could be applied to the super competitive business and household world.

I learned from catering for the NBA for 16 years that food and performance are profoundly connected. Bank on it. Once, LaSalle Thompson consumed three orders of deep-fried calamari before a pivotal game 5 of the 1994 NBA playoffs. In the game, he was a non-factor, and the Pacers were eliminated.

HEALTH WATCH

LOWERING CHOLESTEROL:

If you have high cholesterol, your doctor might prescribe the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet.

It is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, which can reduce blood cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart problems. The TLC diet calls for: less than 7 percent of daily calories from saturated fat; no more than 200 mg of dietary cholesterol a day; 25 percent to 35 percent of daily calories from fat, mainly from unsaturated fat. Most of the fat should be monounsaturated, and only 10 percent should be polyunsaturated fat; only 2,400 mg of sodium a day; and just enough calories to maintain a healthy weight and avoid weight gain. The TLC diet is part of the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes program, which aims to lower cholesterol through diet, exercise, weight loss if needed, and other changes, such as quitting smoking. It is recommended by the National Cholesterol Education Program of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

ANYTIME EXERCISES: You

GETTING BY WITH LESS: Some people

can survive on very little sleep, while others require many hours to function normally. If you still perform relatively well when sleep deprived, the reason could be your genes. In one study from the University of Surrey, some people struggled to stay awake after two days of no sleep while others had no problem whatsoever. The researchers looked into this further and gave the participants the opportunity to sleep normally; they found that some participants spend more time in slowwave sleep, the deepest form of shut-eye. And for them carrying a sleep debt makes it that much harder to stay alert and function.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: As more Americans

take more medications for everything from skittish stomachs to sluggish moods, clashes between drugs have fueled a new epidemic of unexpected, sometimes dangerous side effects and complications. If you take blood pressure medication, specifically ACE inhibitors, such as benazepril (Lotensin), or diuretics, such as furosemide (Lasix) or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), you might have a conflict with aspirin or ibuprofen. Those painkillers could keep these kinds of blood pressure medications from doing their job. If you experience problems, you have two options (ask your doctor which is right for you). You can switch to a different blood pressure medication or swap the pain relievers — use acetaminophen instead.

don’t need barbells, dumbbells, or machines to build muscle — in fact, weight-training equipment often inhibits the process because it requires you to be in a specific location. Here are three bodyweight exercises allow you to build muscle anywhere, anytime — at home, on the road, in a public park. 1. From the starting position of a pushup, squat, or lunge, lower yourself into the down position. But instead of pushing your body all the way up, raise it only a quarter of the way.

Then lower yourself again before pushing all the way up. 2. Hold one foot in the air during virtually any exercise. A harder exercise means your body works harder. 3. Twist your torso to the right or left in exercises such as the lunge, situp and pushup. You’ll automatically build a better-performing body.

n light of the recent $220,000 judgment against the woman in Minnesota who was using a musicsharing program, you may want to make sure that no one in your household is engaging in this type of activity.

The danger for people who install and run file-sharing programs continues to grow and now there is a legal precedent for the music and movie industries to come after individuals who engage in this type of activity.

It has always been illegal to engage in the sharing of copyrighted materials such as music, movies Gary Hubbard and software, and this Technology latest legal decision should be a wakeup call for anyone that has been taking this lightly.

Not only is there a legal issue involved, the peer-to-peer (P2P) software used to connect with others is usually loaded with spyware and adware and puts your computer at a much higher risk of contracting viruses, worms or other malicious software.

The Pharos Drive GPS 250, which is $299, has a SiRFStarIII GPS receiver, touchscreen display, and automatic night view switching when it detects that the sun’s gone.

of Windows. Click on the Start button, then on “All Programs” and investigate any program that you don’t recognize by either opening the program or doing a Google search to learn more.

Yet another way to check your computer is through the Add/ Remove programs section of the Control Panel. This will alphabetically list all the program installed on your computer and give you the option of uninstalling any of them.

If you do find that there is P2P file-sharing software installed on your computer, you would be wise to remove it then run a complete deep scan of your computer for viruses, adware and spyware since these are almost guaranteed “companions.”

If all of this is too much, consult a trusted computer service resource.

Once you get your computer cleaned up, be sure to have a discussion with everyone in your household so they understand the legal, financial and infected computer consequences if they reinstall any of these kinds of programs.

WHAT ABOUT WEB 4.0? As surely as day follows night and every few years brings a more bloated version of Microsoft Office, the buzz surrounding Web 2.0 was bound to touch off chatter about Web 3.0.

The pundits have shown remarkable restraint; they didn’t up the version number until 2006, fully two years after tech-conference impresario Tim O’Reilly debuted the original phrase. Perhaps that’s because there’s even less consensus around what Web 3.0 might mean. Is it an artificially intelligent network? Does it have a 3-D used interface? Only and army of hungry PR reps will tell.

into the startup of your computer so they automatically load whenever you start your computer, which also causes your computer and the Internet to be slower.

To find out if these types of programs are on your computer, start your search by looking at all of the icons in your Systray (lower right hand corner next to the clock). Float your cursor over each icon so you can identify each one. If you don’t know what a description means, do a Google search (for the displayed description) to learn more about what that program does.

There are more than 150 different programs being used by various file-sharing networks, with new programs being released on a weekly basis. Some of the more popular programs in use today include KaZaa, Limewire, eMule, Morpheous, Shareaza, Grokster, iMesh, Blubster, uTorrent (or any programs that have the term “torrent” in the name), Gnutella, Soulseek, Filetopia, WinMX, Bearshare and eDonkey.

Another way to see if you have these programs on your computer is to review all of the programs installed on your computer by looking at the list in the “Programs” section

Dr. Mark Beckerman, 53, passed away peacefully Nov. 6, 2007 at his home in the company of his wife and daughters. Over the past eight years, Dr. Beckerman heroically overcame many challenges posed by kidney cancer and its complications. Motivated by his loving wife, daughters, staff, patients, doctors and therapists, Dr. Beckerman continued practicing medicine as a family physician until just recently. Dr. Beckerman’s family members express their sincere gratitude to all who unfailingly believed in him and offered prayers on his behalf. Dr. Beckerman was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on Nov. 26, 1953 to Samuel and Vinnie (Hoppough) Beckerman, and grew up in University Heights, Ohio. He graduated from Washington and Jefferson College in 1976, having majored in chemistry. He was a varsity athlete in track, member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and active in ROTC. Dr. Beckerman then attended Case

Western Reserve University Medical School (Cleveland).

Upon graduation in 1980, Dr. Beckerman served six years in the Army. From 1980-1983, he trained in family medicine at DeWitt Army Hospital, Fort Belvoir, Va., near Washington, D.C. From 1983-1986, he was a staff doctor at Hawley Army Hospital at Fort Harrison in Indianapolis. Deciding to make Carmel his home, Dr. Beckerman assumed the private practice of Dr. Richard Nolan. Thereafter he shared an office with friend and fellow doctor Thomas J. Moore.

Together with his loyal staff, Dr. Beckerman maintained an “old-fashioned” family medical practice for the past 21 years.

Throughout his career, he was board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and served as a St. Vincent Hospital physician.

Dr. Beckerman was a devoted husband and father. He married Barbara (Kluve-Beckerman) Dec. 15, 1979. They have two daughters, Holly, 22, a recent graduate of Hope College, and

Sarah, 19, a student at Indiana University at Bloomington. Dr. Beckerman enjoyed playing golf and basketball, but most of all he loved spending time with his family – helping his daughters with homework, listening to music, camping, swimming, running, First Baptist athletics, holiday meals and summer cook-outs. In addition to his wife and daughters, survivors include siblings Joseph Beckerman, Sylvia Beckerman and Gail Hazen. Visitation was Sunday, Nov. 11 in Leppert Mortuary, Smith Carmel Chapel, 900 N. Range Line Road. The funeral service was Monday, Nov. 12 in St. Luke United Methodist Church, 100 W. 86th St., Indianapolis. Burial was in Old Pleasant Hill Cemetery at 2 p.m.

Go to www.leppertmortuary. com to share a memory or sign Dr. Beckerman’s guest book.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Gleaners Food Bank, 1102 E. 16th St., Indianapolis, IN 46202, or The Nature Conservancy, 1505 N. Delaware St. Suite 200, Indianapolis, IN 46202.

Why Current?

Sue Finkam

manager, marketing and public relations

By Larry Greene, Case Handyman & Remodeling Question: I have decided to start my own business and want to convert my living room into a home office. What tips do you have to get the most out of my 12-feet-by12-feet space?

Answer: Consider the overall functionality you need to operate your business. What are the business needs for the room and how will other family members impact the office during work hours?

Here are some tips to get you started: 1. Room space and design: Will you need to share the office with any other family members? Will you meet with clients in your home? Think of this when designing your space. Spend time planning the space for your needs and have a scaled drawing prepared.

2. Add French doors: Close in the room by extending a wall off the front hallway and installing new French doors.

The wider the doors the better. Try to fit 5-feet-6-inch-wide doors if possible with a lockset for privacy. These doors look great and allow privacy without feeling closed in. When the office is not in use, open the doors to create an open feeling.

3. Built-ins vs. stand alone furniture: The main desk or work surface is the most important piece to consider. Do you want

to face the wall or face out to the hallway?

Do you want to sit behind a traditional desk, or work on a countertop up against a set of cabinets? Make sure this main work surface is large enough and is installed at the proper ergonomic height. Custom-designed built-in cabinets and shelving are the best way to eliminate clutter and get you organized and provide needed storage.

4. Electrical and wiring tips: Consider all the low voltage wiring needs such as cable TV, data, speakers and A/V connections. Install a “chase,” which is a concealed tube to store all wiring.

Install holes in the desk top with grommets, which adjust to fit the size of wires you have.

Some printers and computers will need an additional electrical circuit.

5. Lighting: Low voltage halogen puck lighting works well for upper shelving units. Halogen light bars can provide task lighting above built-in computer work areas.

I recently found some tiny soaps in the shape of bed pillows that said “Bonne Nuit.” A tray with bottled spring water, a snack and house key is a fabulous way to say welcome. One of my favorite ideas is to place a framed photo of you and your guest in the room.

The key to a wonderful guest experience is comfort as defined by the guest. A throw rug in a room with grandma is probably not a great idea since tripping is a possibility. Beer in the toilet for a Sigma Nu brother is probably a good idea. No, make that just an OK idea....

AGE GAUGE: “It’s time to consider a new way to measure age,” says economist John Shoven, as reported by Brian Blackstone in The Wall Street Journal (10/24/07). Shoven’s idea is that “the best way to look at age isn’t the number of years people have been alive — but how many they have probably got left.” He refers to this as Remaining Life Expectancy, or RLE, under which “those with a short RLE would be considered elderly and those with a long RLE would be considered young.” He says, “with tens of millions of baby boomers eligible for retirement in the next 20 years … spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid will cripple government finances.” Shoven’s solution is “that if retirement is based on remaining life expectancy instead of beginning at a fixed age, then the labor force could be 9.6 percent higher by 2050, which would help finance entitlement programs.” He also estimates that gross domestic product “would be between 7 percent and 10 percent higher by 2050 if retirement lengths stabilize.”

While not every home has the luxury of a designated guest room, the elements that make a guest room welcoming are pretty universal: a good mattress, a comfortable chair and good lighting.

Beyond the basics, a guest room with personality can transform a visit to an adventure. One of my favorite guest rooms that I have had the pleasure of working is themed with western accoutrements. There is no doubt that anyone who is a guest in this home knows that they are not the beneficiaries of family castoffs. Thought has gone into every detail in this room, from the privacy afforded by window treatments to space for the guest’s personal belongings.

Once the foundation to a fabulous guest room is in place, a few unexpected touches push a room from nice to fabulous! I love the idea of keeping a basket of beautiful soaps and

ome of the suggestions for holiday guest rooms are pretty predictable. Martha Stewart has said it many times over: “Be certain that your guest has fresh towels and high thread count linens.”

If the goal in mind is comfort for your guest, there are far more creative ways of welcoming friends and family.

My first adulttype experience with setting up a guest room was 20 years ago when my husband’s fraternity brother was in town for a few days. The guest room in our home had a separate bath so, in keeping with fraternity memories, Jerry was greeted with Vicky Earley a porcelain fixture Decor filled to the rim with ice and beer.

Simple PAINT TIPS will BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME

Don’t Fear Change…or Color There are no rules about color when it comes to your own home.

Using neutral or earth tones for larger, more permanent or more expensive items like the sofa will allow you to experiment with paint and colorful accessories to liven up your personal space.

Many people fear dark and bold colors for their walls, but it’s OK to get creative with paint color, and it doesn’t have to cost a lot.

Customize and Complement A room’s color scheme should always be decided based on your personal tastes coupled with something more, like a piece of fabric or favorite accessory. Bring an accent rug or lampshade with you to the store for paint color ideas. Never pick a color based on recommendations from friends and family.

remove the tape as soon as you finish painting each section.

Always design to appease your own personality, not the masses.

Paint Inside the Lines Painting is the easiest and cheapest way to transform your home. Alternate taped-off sections of your walls with matte and glossy finishes of the same paint color to create vertical stripes. This creates dimension and elongates the space between your ceiling and floor. Using faux finishes, stencils and borders also can add personality to your home.

To avoid peeling away new paint, carefully

Be Your Own Monet Believe it or not, a plainly painted canvas can be just as effective as an expensive piece of art.

To tie the color scheme of your room together, purchase and paint several canvases with colors inspired by the details of your room: green from the throw pillows or brown from the area rug. Hang your homemade art grouped in a symmetric pattern or scattered across the wall, creating a completely unique masterpiece.

Work that Woodwork Cabinetry, trim and other woodwork add detail and dimension to a room, and finishing them with paint can make them more effective design elements. Use a semi- or high-gloss

paint on woodwork to help emphasize architectural details. Priming and then painting trim and cabinets separates the walls from the woodwork, helping every carving and edge to pop.

Pick-Up the Right Accent Home enthusiasts are increasingly keen on accent walls, but deciding which wall to paint is tricky. Walls with dramatic architectural features, such as fireplaces and detailed woodwork, make the best accent walls. Avoid choosing long walls and those with TVs or “holes,” like doors and windows, for your accent color.

Painting them creates distraction and causes them to compete with other dramatic features of the room.

From Gloss to Flat, Finish Matters Using paint with the appropriate finish can make or break your space. Kitchens and bathrooms should always be painted with a semi- or high-gloss finish for protection against moisture and everyday wear and tear. Glossy finishes tend to highlight a wall’s imperfections, however, so use a flat finish in bedrooms or dining rooms. And regardless of what finish you settle on, always use a primer first to seal the surface and ensure the best results.

artist donates ‘snowflakes’ for cancer research

By Barbara E. Cohen

You can purchase an original piece of art from a noted children’s book illustrator while helping to fight cancer. Artist Sharon Vargo, Carmel, is one of 200 children’s book illustrators participating in Robert’s Snow: for Cancer Cure, which raises money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brookline, Mass.

Vargo is the only Indiana artist selected to work with Grace Lin, widow of Robert Mercer, for whom the project is named. Lin created a children’s book, “Robert’s Snow,” when her husband was receiving treatment for Ewing’s sarcoma, a cancer of the soft tissue and bone.

The story features a mouse that can’t go outSharon Vargo side to play in the snow.

When her husband’s cancer returned, Lin’s colleagues created Robert’s Snow: for Cancer Cure to increase awareness about sarcoma and to raise research money. Although Mercer passed away in August 2007, his legacy lives on in a fund-raising auction of original hang-

ing snowflakes painted by children’s book authors.

Like real snowflakes, each of the artists’ designs is unique. Vargo has created new designs each year she’s participated since 2004.

This year’s contribution is called “Song for a Prince in Pajamas,” and it includes a poem by poet Rebecca Kai Dotlich, Carmel, on one side.

“It’s fulfilling to share my work with others in this way,” Vargo said, who also recently donated a painted cowboy hat for the Buckaroo Bash hosted by the Adobe Society of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. “I have received letters from people touched by the snowflakes, and it’s nice to ‘give back’ through art.”

The donated snowflakes are on view in two galleries in Massachusetts, as well as on the Web. An online auction of the colorful pieces

will take place in three parts, with the first selections available Nov. 19-23. Subsequent auctions will take place Nov. 2630 and Dec. 3-7. Bidding is open to everyone, and you can preview the snowflakes online or place a bid at www.robertssnow.com.
