Grain elevator site ready for redevelopment

By Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com

The Carmel Redevelopment Commission has announced that clean-up procedures at the former grain elevator site have been completed.

The project started in April but experienced delays when professional demolition crews from Casey-Bertram discovered an unknown substance in the rubble. Tests by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management revealed the substance was non-hazardous and approved the completion of debris removal.

Casey-Bertram President Scott Casey said, “(This) project was completed per local, state and federal codes. All material was taken to appropriate landfills and documentation was provided to the (Carmel Redevelopment Commission.)”

City Director of Community Relations Nancy Heck explained that existing funds from commercial taxes paid for the removal.

“Cleaning up the grain elevator will allow the property to be put back on Heck the tax rolls for the city because we can now sell it to a private company for redevelopment. We are very pleased to be able to offer the site to developers in a more shovelready form and to get the property back on the tax rolls for Carmel,” Heck said. “The City and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission have found more positive results from private-sector investment when sites

are ready for redevelopment.”

The area along the Monon Trail just south of the Arts and Design District is the focus of Carmel’s third development stage, Midtown. The city of Carmel and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission have been working with Speck and Associates to plan a pedestrian friendly center to seamlessly connect Main Street with City Center.

A project report by Speck and Associates includes plans to replace the existing 250,000-gallon water tower with a

750,000-gallon unit. The report describes a tower no higher than the previous grain elevator but designed as the central architectural feature of a walking park with fountains. “As it lends value to surrounding properties, this feature should result in increased tax revenues that justify its cost,” the report stated. The report also recommends incorporating the existing Emergency Medical Services antenna and electrical substation to avoid relocation costs.

Volunteerism

High school ArtsGarden needs your help Commentary by Jeff Worrell If you get within a block of the place, you can pick up on the energy. The air becomes charged with a vibe that is not just about excellence.

Although being and doing their best is ultimately what I think of when I visit Carmel High School, I also witness activity on "steroids." Not a criticism, but CHS is a decidedly energetic place. There is a lot going on from dawn to well past dusk every day.

For several years, CHS art teacher Jen Bubp has been looking out her classroom window onto a courtyard area and wondering whether it might make the perfect place to escape the buzz.

Created during the construction of the Freshman Center years ago, the courtyard was underutilized, uninspiring and plain. She thought, “Could it be a place of retreat for students who might need a place to think, contemplate or even grieve?”

Bubp proposed the idea of the CHS ArtsGarden to administrators and received a “go for it.”

CHS students got together and raised money to buy perennials and trees to beautify the area.

On Oct. 27, planting, mulching and sprucing took place, completing Phase I of the project.

Now it is time for Phase II, the more ambitious segment of the project. By adding cement seating and a pergola, the area can also provide

an outdoor classroom giving students another venue where they can learn. In addition, other departments at CHS are joining in to add supplemental components. A bird bath and water feature from the ceramics students will complement teacher Jonathon Kane’s students’ Personages display; symbols of human personalities hopeful of bringing people together.

Bubp said, “People have responded so positively. They love honoring lives that have gone before us or are walking concurrently with us,” speaking about one of the fundraising concepts which allows students, teachers and staff to buy a butterfly ornament to honor a loved one.

The ornaments will hang in the ArtsGarden.

Live butterflies will also play a prominent role, thanks to the Biology Department.

But Phase II is still just an idea without funding. So far, $1,000 has been pledged by the Carmel Education Foundation, but $8,000 in donations is needed. If you or your company would like to sponsor a portion of the CHS ArtsGarden, please contact Bubp at jbubp@ccs. k12.in.us.

Carmel City Council - Dec. 3 ACTION: Violations Risk Stricter Noise Ordinance WHAT’S NEXT: Councilor Carter urged the police department to promptly cite violations of the city’s existing noise ordinance.

He encouraged the city attorney’s office “to process that vigorously in city court so we can get this under control.” Carter stated this issue could warrant a stricter noise ordinance. Detour responded publicly on Twitter, stating that the restaurant would now be ending its live music at 11:50 p.m.

WHAT IT MEANS: Residents reported high noise levels outside Detour in the Old Town District after midnight on a Saturday. Councilor Ron Carter promptly visited the area and confirmed the noise reverberated across the street. Carter contacted Detour management, but does not agree that closed doors sufficiently curb the noise. Residents report high noise levels continue. Carter stated, “It’s unfortunate that the management of Detour doesn’t seem to understand how to be a good neighbor in the Old Town area.”

ACTION: Old Town Rezoning

WHAT IT MEANS: Specific business zoned addresses 32 and 120 1st Ave. NE, and 105 and 140 1st St. NE will be rezoned to residential. Other business zone properties will be reclassified to low intensity uses such as office rentals or salons. Residents in this area previously opposed plans for a new brewpub. Councilor Eric Seidensticker reported that the land use committee’s rezoning recommendation would “protect the existing residences.” Councilor Luci Snyder pointed out the area was originally zoned for a brewpub but agreed with the committee. Snyder explained this issue “exposed zoning inconsistencies” that included many homes being zoned for business.

WHAT’S NEXT: The amendment was approved. Snyder said, “This series of ordinances and rezones tries to set that (inconsistency) straight.

It will, indeed, defend and protect the people ... ”

You and your family deserve easy access to highly skilled physicians.

ACTION: Aramore Development Plan Amendments WHAT IT MEANS: Pittman Partners amended their proposal for a development at Westfield Boulevard and 99th Street. The highend, low-density plan reduces 46 buildings to 14 buildings and increases green space. An additional ordinance focused on the residential rezoning of the Hunter/Pullins’ buffering lot.

WHAT’S NEXT: The amendments were approved with the addition of requiring city approval for road improvements that connect to city concerns.

Did I hear a ‘thank you?’

Commentary by Luci Snyder The City Council voted to bailout (restructure) a part of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission’s debt, and people on both sides are annoyed. So what did we really do?

What we didn’t do was refinance its debt.

Only the CRC could do that. Let me use a mortgage example to explain.

The CRC owes millions of dollar in debt (its mortgage), and its payments are more than its income. So all last year, the CRC tried to find a way to refinance some of those debts to a lower rate so it could both make the payments and have operating money. However, the CRC's credit was bad and income was pledged. Banks would not float any more bonds at a low enough rate to make a difference. The danger was if it defaulted next year, it would trigger a tax on all of our homes, the dreaded Special Benefits Tax. Plan B: Ask the City Council for help. This would be like a homeowner who couldn‘t refinance his own loan going to a family member and saying, “You take out a loan, in the amount of my debt (mortgage). You can get a low rate because you have good credit and income. I (the CRC) will promise that I’ll give you my income to make the payments!” This was not a refinance at all, but a whole new loan of $195,000,000 that now we, the taxpayer’s, owe and the CRC doesn’t.

So why would we do it, and was this a wise

decision?

Yes, it was wise, if we lowered the rate, (saving tax dollars), and yes, it was wise, if we stopped an additional tax on residential real estate, and yes, it was wise, if we stopped the CRC from piling up more debt, but did we really stop it from piling up more debt? Carmel Redevelopment Commissioners Jeff Worrell and Bill Hammer said they’d do it again.

To prevent them from doing it again, we were forced to pass a law requiring the CRC to come to the Council for any new borrowing. Mayor Jim Brainardpublicly supported these changes and the council voted. When that vote was done, saving the CRC from default and averting the CRC’s tax on our homes, the spin began again.

What is the spin? It’s “don’t blame us,” “look at the beautiful Palladium,” “City Center is lovely,” and “the end justifies the means.”

Did I hear a “thank you?” No. Worrell and Ron Carter said they were threatened, that we said sharp things about the CRC and that we blamed then unfairly. Well, someone is to blame for borrowing more than they could pay for and their signatures are on those pesky loans.

With the post-Thanksgiving hustle and bustle now in full swing, many Carmel residents have undoubtedly noticed a sudden burst of construction around the city’s 116th Street and Range Line Road intersection.

While Range Line’s nearby east side has seen some development over the last several years, the west side has remained mostly static, despite the move of several businesses to other parts of the city. Now, all that is changing.

Range Line Crossing (formerly known as The Centre) to the northwest and The Corner to the southwest have both been selected for large-scale redevelopments by Kite Realty scheduled to take place throughout 2013.

Kite owns both properties and is responsible for the recent River’s Edge and Fishers Station redevelopments in Indianapolis and Fishers respectively, both of which have been very well received by their communities.

“With CVS moving across the street, we were able to bring the property to market and really create a new focus,” said Jeff Wright, vice president of leasing for Kite Realty. “It’s a tremendous site, and it needed to be redeveloped. In terms of an anchor, this was a great opportunity to bring in a new one.”

That new anchor will be Earth Fare, a health and all-organic grocery known for its sizeable list of banned ingredients including high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors and more. The Carmel location will be Earth Fare’s second in

Pay dirt or dirt pay?

It is our position that there is a disparity in the salary of the governor of the state of Indiana and Presidents of state run universities that deserves to be examined. As governor of the state of Indiana, Mitch Daniels earned a salary of $95,000 a year. His new role as president of Purdue University is expected to garner a salary of at least five times as much as he was paid to run the 15th most populous state out of 50 in the United States of America.

Yet, it’s not a job in public servancy or academics that garners the top pay spot for the state of Indiana. Hoosiers love their basketball, and they are willing to pay for it as Indiana University basketball coach Tom Crean garners the top spot as the highest paid public employee of the state with a salary and fringe benefits package totaling $2.3 million.

While state government and state universities have very different revenue streams on which to base their budgets, the question becomes who is paid too little, who is paid too much, and are the salaries appropriate for the level of responsibility?

Rest in peace, Republican party?

Banksters

Commentary by Terry Anker

A clever turn of the phrase holds great appeal. Since Og first managed to communicate with his fellow cave dwellers, twisting words to highlight an irony, incongruence or absurdity delivers both jocularity and resonance.

Today, whole cultures evolved to use language as an indicator of inclusion (or exclusion).

Perhaps it is a function of the over-abundance of media, but each cluster has taken to using its own contortion of the spoken word to establish its boundaries. Rap stars, perfectly able to speak in full and complete sentences, chose to perform songs comprised almost entirely of the jargon that belongs to a self-created audience. Government officials become wedded to the alphabet soup of acronyms and ubiquitous form-speak that at once obscures and obfuscates direct messages intended for the citizens they are pledged to serve.

But in a desire to be clever, pithy or simply to come up with an expression that can be trademarked and printed on T-shirts for a fee (the word threepeat comes to mind), those of

us who communicate for a living may have done a disservice to our profession. Do we confuse when we simply intend to entertain?

During the most recent national financial crisis, some adroit wordsmith coined the term “banksters” to illustrate the gangster-like thievery that was witnessed in some moneyed banking circles. But given that everyone from reining professional athletes to the latest train-wreck starlet has some variation of “GANGSTER” tattooed for the world to see, does bankster carry a negative or positive connotation? One can imagine the thirtysomething hotshot as he helicopters from his ultra-swank digs in SoHo to the colossal (if rented) weekend house on Long Island who is fully embracing the bankster lifestyle. Is theft and abject immorality intended to be cool, but we’re not sufficiently in the club to get it?

As we watch the ongoing Washington negotiations regarding the omnipresent “Fiscal Cliff,” we have to say how impressed we are at how quickly the Republican Party has begun the process of caving on the issue of raising taxes (or closing loopholes; same thing. Both result in more money being sent to Washington, which promptly would be wasted.). We predicted the party would cave, but we actually thought it would put up a fight and then cave, which is its history. We’ve oftentimes written about our frustrations with the national Republican Party, with its never-ending tendency to run from a fight. We believe that if the GOP gives in on the issue of raising taxes in any way, the party simply needs to shut down. We certainly don’t need two liberal parties. The party needs to stand firm against any increase in taxes. So, off the fiscal cliff we go. Republicans then need to talk to the American people directly, not through the filter of the mainstream American media, and explain the party’s position (It’s the spending!) And because President Barack Obama is addicted to the idea of raising taxes, it is he who will be guilty of forcing all of us to pay more in taxes starting next month.

••• We respect and admire billionaire investor Warren Buffett. However, we can’t help but find him hypocritical when he urges tax increases for the rich. Those rates were no problem for him as he built his fortune and, now that he’s worth north of $40 billion, he thinks now’s the time to raise these rates. What about all the future Buffetts out there eagerly building their names and fortunes? Also, Warren, how is sending more money to Washington a smart move? If the government were a business, he wouldn’t invest in it, and if he did “management” wouldn’t last long.

New beginnings, a month early Commentary by Christian Sorrell For most people, January and the new year that comes along with it is a time of new beginnings. For me, that time came a month early. As the new managing editor of Current in Carmel, I have seen my schedule fluctuate drastically and my level of responsibility skyrocket, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Since beginning my work with the Current, I collaborated with the ownership and editors to launch our now-standard Night & Day entertainment section. While it was certainly a lot of work to get off the ground, the section eventually became a consistent part of the Current’s repertoire, and I was ready for more.

When the time came, I was ready and willing to answer the call of duty and take my spot overseeing Current in Carmel each week. Raised in Westfield, I have found myself near, around, and in Carmel on a weekly, if not daily, basis all my life. After graduating from Butler University, I didn’t want to leave the area far behind and now reside quite literally across the street from Carmel on the south side of 96th Street and College Avenue.

During the next several weeks and months, I

will be working to immerse myself entirely in all things Carmel. I have already experienced the rousing discussions of a Carmel City Council meeting, followed a group of protesting teachers from the high school to the heart of the Arts & Design District, taken part in a fair amount of early holiday cheer and been able to talk to and work with some of the most talented people with whom I have ever come in contact. Carmel is easily one of the most exciting places in the state of Indiana, and I am happy to have been given the ability to work in such a position.

You can contact me at christian@youarecurrent.com for any reason at all. It may take me a day or two for me to get back to you, but I will.

Also, you can follow me on Twitter at @CarmelEditor where I will be sending out updates on local government meetings, recaps of local events and pictures from my adventures around Carmel.

Here’s to a bright future!

Laughs

I grew up and became my mother Commentary by Mike Redmond Had you driven past my house one recent Friday, you would have seen a workman on the roof stringing Christmas lights. For reasons of safety and schedule, I decided to let someone else do the job this year.

But had you driven past my house the day after, you would have seen me up there re-doing the job. So much for safety and schedule.

I blame my mother. Or, actually, her entire family. I was engaged in a practice I call “McKenzie-ing” the job – that is, allowing someone else to do it and then going back and doing it over again to get it right. Even if nothing much is wrong with it.

Now, please understand, I am not proud of this. In going all McKenzie on the job, I violated a very solemn promise I made to myself almost daily during kidhood: I am not going to be like my mother when I grow up.

My brother and sisters made the same promise. Not one of us could run a vacuum cleaner to her satisfaction. Neither could we dust, do dishes, wash windows or take out trash to her specifications. I never weeded a row in the garden that did not cause my mother to throw her hands up into the air, exclaim that I hadn’t paid attention AGAIN, take over the chore and launch into her speech about doing things right with its legendary opening line, “I have TOLD

you and TOLD you…”

The gist of the speech was this: There are three ways to do things: The wrong way; the right way (also wrong); and the McKenzie way, which is to say perfectly, a quality unattainable for non-McKenzies and other mere mortals, such as me and a good many of my cousins.

According to the legend, to be a McKenzie of mom’s generation was to be a model child, well-behaved, a tireless worker and supremely talented at whatever endeavor you chose. To be a McKenzie of my generation was to be a disappointment to your grandparents.

But as I’ve gotten older, I have found that I McKenzify things without even thinking. I’ve been known to remake a bed three times to get the corners just right. I once rebuilt four garden boxes at 5 a.m. because I’d awakened from a dream in which six of my uncles came by the house and pointed out the flaws.

And that, my friends, is why I was out on the roof re-stringing the Christmas lights. I’m listening to my McKenzie side. Maybe I should just listen to my Redmond side. That’s the one that tells me and tells me that they sure look pretty.

stvincent.org

The only thing I hate more than shopping is cooking, but I needed to do something to get me in the holiday spirit. Why not prepare a meal for my family? I have never been much of a chef. I don’t have the patience to put in a dash of this and a pinch of that. My wife knew this before we got married. Right after our first date she complained to a friend I had no dash at all. She did notice the pinch, however. Women are very sensitive.

In our kitchen, stacked up against the wall, we have about 50 cooking magazines with titles like Bon Appétit, Cooking Light, Cook’s Illustrated, Saveur, and Vegetarian Times. Most of these publications try to lure us in with words like “easy, quick, fast, simple, or no hassle.” I’ve never seen these words on the cover of Cosmo, but I have seen the word saucy.

Another way the editors entice us is with the name of the recipe. For example: chicken and artichokes. Two ingredients, right? How simple. I looked carefully at the ingredients. The dish should have been named “chicken with artichokes and thyme and vinegar and mustard seed and garlic, and black pepper and cilantro and cumin, and chili pepper and olive oil, and a sliver of orange rind and several spices no one has ever heard of.”

I don’t know what these people consider simple. The average “simple” recipe had (and, www.currentincarmel.com

Recipe for disaster Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

EMErgENCy?

yes, I did count) about 14 ingredients. There’s also a great deal of coating, covering, shredding, simmering, combining, peeling and pulverizing.

One recipe required a mortar and pestle. This was a prescription for failure.

I was tempted by one recipe called Cinco de Mayo. I didn’t read everything that was in it, but anything that has five times the normal amount of mayonnaise has to be pretty tasty.

There was also one called Beer Raised Beef. I’ve never had a problem with the grain fed or grass fed variety, but this did seem like a way better idea than marinating the meat after you buy it.

I’m sad to report that I misread it. It was actually beer braised beef. Apparently, I need more recipes containing carrots.

I decided all this prep was way too much trouble, but I had promised to make dinner that evening. When my wife called later that day, I told her what I was planning for our meal. “Oh my goodness,” she said, “are you really serving that complicated chicken dish with all those herbs and spices?”

“Yes, that’s what we’re having.” I said proudly.

“And there was a Colonel of truth in what I said.”

VIEWS Humor December: Panic, plague and party pandemonium Commentary by Danielle Wilson Ah, December. I have hit the panic button on shopping; our kids have begun their second round of winter colds, stomach bugs, and dry skin rashes; and family gatherings have increased in both frequency and chaos level. How I love the holiday season! No kidding, I really do enjoy the crazy.

The race to find the perfect gift, while strategically avoiding traffic congestion and financial ruin, is what I live for. After all, I’m able to employ my significant cyber skills, people-whispering talents, and penny-pinching nature to their maximum capacities, all in the name of Santa Claus.

Essentially, December’s a green light for shopping, and because I’m not spending the money on myself, the experience is practically guilt-free. And when the stress of it all becomes too overwhelming, I have egg nog and Pickleknuckle (our elf-onthe-shelf) to talk me off the ledge. Deck the halls with booze and fantasy creatures!

Granted, December does have the uncanny ability to transform our house into an infirmary.

But alongside the thermometers, discarded Kleenex, and empty bottles of ginger ale, Children’s Motrin and Jergen’s bottles, there are twinkle lights and garland and multi-colored breakable glass bulbs. At least when I’m cleaning up my daughter’s projectiles from the sink (which is “much closer than the toilet, Mom. You should be thankful I made it that far!”) I can breathe in that pine-fresh scent from the

evergreen sprig I shoved into a lamp base and garner sympathy from the plastic angel hovering above me. Silent night, indeed.

Most importantly, December affords me the opportunity to appreciate just how far our six-pack has come over the years. I have four siblings, Doo has five. Between our families, there are 26 grandkids, most of whom are 6 and younger. You don’t have to be a math geek to understand that get-togethers are sheer bedlam. But now that our children are older, Doo and I can sit back and mock those with little ones, occasionally pitching in to change a diaper or wipe a face, but only if the spirit so moves us. We actually get to eat a full meal at one sitting while the food is still hot and engage in adult conversation about the awesome-ness of the “Twilight” saga without worrying about bedtimes and bottles and booboos. Let’s face it, holidays are a schlep with infants and toddlers, but they are truly fun with big kids.

God rest ye merry parents!

So bring it on, December. I welcome your inclement weather, sherry-infused fruit cake, and incessant junk emails from retailers. And despite your propensity for inducing panic, plague, and party pandemonium, you are by far the most wonderful time of the year. Peace out.

Mo’s restaurant opening Friday in Clay Terrace

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com In Indianapolis, many people find Mo’s is the place for steak. Now the steakhouse is providing Hamilton County a one-spot stop for good beef as it expands its Central Indiana footprint with a new second restaurant in Carmel’s Clay Terrace Mall. The restaurant will open Friday.

“We’re very, very excited,” owner Jeremiah Hamman said about Mo’s first non-metropolitan location. “The growth is exploding around us. It’s a best place to raise a family. We’re excited to be a part of the community.”

Several factors influenced Hamman’s decision to expand to Hamilton County, including the potential customer demographic, continued community growth in this area, a welcoming attitude and work from Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and the city, and Simon Properties’ assistance and commitment to providing a workable lease arrangement.

“The partnership with Simon Properties was big,” he said, adding the arrangement made the second location more attractive and feasible.

“Although Simon is the largest real estate company in the world, it’s clear to me that they are committed to helping local businesses succeed within their property environments.”

Hamman, president of Epic Hospitality Group, has been a managing partner with Mo’s since the restaurant joined the downtown Indianapolis dining scene. His passion for outstanding service, cuisine and wine pairing promises a

menu that’s both traditional and diverse.

“It just; became me. It wasn’t a conscious decision it was what I became,” he said about becoming a restaurateur. “I love the fact I don’t sit in a cubicle and every day is different. The people I meet and the interaction is priceless.”

Since its doors opened downtown in 2003,

the upscale steakhouse has quickly risen to recognition as one of Indianapolis’ top fine dining establishments, earning an impeccable reputation and many accolades for its food and wine selection. The Clay Terrace location will feature the same great food, drinks, exceptional wine and hospitality that the Indianapolis location has become famous for among the city’s business professionals, fine dining community and celebrity crowd.

“There will be a few suburban twists – wine night, martini night, bar menu items,” said Hamman. “Things we don’t offer downtown to cater to the suburbs.”

Hamman whose group also owns Detour: An American Grille and Taste of Sensu in the Arts & Design District, prides Mo’s on its customized service and meticulous attention to detail.

The Carmel Mo’s will feature a comfortable ambiance with an incredible outdoor patio area perfect for evening cocktails and dining. The Clay Terrace location also has impressive facilities for banquets, meetings and private parties.

Hamman said total seating for the restaurant is more than 350.

He also said the “very diverse menu” will feature many of the same items as the downtown restaurant including USDA certified prime beef, from which Chef Thomas Melvin hand selects each cut.

“There are a lot of offers when it comes to appetizers,” he said. “We’re a steakhouse that caters to non-steak eaters.”

Mo’s A Place for Steaks Where: 14300 Clay Terrace Blvd., Suite 155 (adjacent to Dick’s Sporting Goods) Hours: The bar opens at 4:30 p.m. and the dining room begins seating at 5 p.m. The restaurant is open until 10 p.m. Sunday, 11 p.m.

Monday through Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday. • Head chef: Thomas Melvin • Seating: The main area seats 120; three private dining areas provide 24, 28 and 40 chairs; the bar has room for 60; and 80 people can occupy the outdoor patio.

Peppermint Brownies

Ingredients: one tablespoon plus one cup butter, divided; eight ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped; four teaspoons instant coffee granules; 1 tablespoon boiling water; five eggs; three and 3/4 cups Imperial Sugar/Dixie Crystals Granulated Sugar; two teaspoons vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon almond extract; one and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; two cups coarsely chopped walnuts; 44 chocolate-covered peppermint patties Directions: Line the baking pan (13 inches by 9 inches) with foil. Melt a tablespoon of the butter and brush it over the foil, then set it to the side.

Melt the chocolate and what’s left of the butter in the kitchen’s microwave. Stir the melted content until it is smooth and let it cool slightly.

Next, dissolve the coffee granules in boiling water. Now, beat the eggs and sugar until they blend in a large bowl. Next beat in the vanilla, almond extract, coffee mixture and chocolate until a fluffy consistency is achieved. Gradually add a combination of flour and salt to the chocolate mixture. Then stir in the walnuts. Take the prepared pan, and pour half the batter into it. Top that with a layer of peppermint patties, using pieces of the candies to fill in the gaps. Top

the patties with what’s left of the batter. Bake the concoction at 425 degrees for 23-27 minutes or until the top is set. Let it cool, and then use foil to remove the brownies from the pan. Let them chill for six hours or overnight before you cut them. -tasteofhome.com

The holidays are a time of year typically spent with family. However, if you are in the middle of a divorce or custody battle, the holidays may be not so merry. With more than 15 years experience as a divorce attorney, Lanae Harden, who chairs the Family Law Practice Group at HARDEN JACKSON, LLC, offers the following suggestions: • Be flexible. You may have traditions that you enjoy that need to be changed a little. Also, be realistic about sharing parenting time with your ex-spouse. Enjoy the time you do have and be present for each moment.

• Start new traditions. Now that life has changed, create a new family tradition that you can share with your children. Create positive memories for them, even if you aren’t feeling your best. Besides, if your children are happy, your mood will improve.

• Plan ahead. Be sure to plan parenting time with your ex-spouse so there are no surprises. It will make the holiday season much less stressful for you and your children.

• Don’t isolate yourself. If you don’t have plans during the holidays, make them. Ask a friend or other family member to join in their celebration, plan a celebration at your house or treat yourself to dinner out.

• Prepare your children. Talk openly and honestly to your children about the holiday plans and encourage them to have a great time with the other parent.

Divorce can be difficult during the holidays, but it can also be a time of creating new experiences for your children and you.

Seasonal affective disorder or depression?

Commentary by Andrew M. Miller, MD

Although the holidays bring good cheer, they are followed by the dark, cold days of winter – a season that’s difficult for many. Physiologically, the body responds to the absence of light and colder temperatures by entering a dormant phase characterized by lower energy and a slowing of body systems.

Some people also experience low mood during winter. This condition is referred to as seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

SAD symptoms can usually be managed by spending more daylight time outdoors, exercising, eating well and getting enough sleep.

However, it’s important to know that some SAD symptoms are similar to those of chronic clinical depression – a more serious condition requiring consultation with a doctor. Generally, chronic depression is characterized by a solid two weeks or more of low mood and/or any combination of these symptoms: • No interest in engaging in daily activities, low motivation • Poor concentration • Appetite loss • Poor sleep, restlessness • Thoughts of harm (see your doctor immediately) If suffering from one or more of these symptoms, visit your primary care doctor. If depression is suspected, your doctor can refer you to a psychiatrist for evaluation. The psychiatrist will review your medical and genetic history and discuss lifestyle and behaviors to determine the cause of your depression. People sometimes experience depression when dealing with loss or personal challenges. Obesity and depression are often closely linked. In this case, the psychiatrist will ask about eating habits and consider this in recommending treatment.

For most, the best way to treat chronic depression is to engage in therapy – clinically referred to as “cognitive behavioral therapy” – with a psychologist/behaviorist (therapist), generally after an initial diagnostic visit with a psychiatrist. Typically, you will be asked to keep a daily journal of mood and activities for eight to 12 weeks. The therapist will use the journal, along with information gathered in therapy sessions, to develop a treatment plan. In addition to recommending therapy for behavior and lifestyle changes, the psychiatrist may prescribe pharmaceuticals, such as antidepressants. When depression is properly diagnosed and treated, people can return to the quality of life they once enjoyed.

Andrew M. Miller, MD, is a psychiatrist specializing in depression and other mental health issues. He is a guest columnist located at Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital, 13100 E. 136th St., Suite 1200, Fishers. Miller can be reached by calling the office at 678-3030.

Doesn’t get you sicker – According to WebMD, all those adages about “liquor before beer” aren’t necessarily accurate. It’s not the order of what you drink – it’s the level of alcohol intake. – webmd.com 24 | December 11, 2012

Flu season – With winter here, WebMD, with the help of sponsors, found that Indiana has a “moderate” level of cold and flu symptoms. To see what symptoms are like in your neck of the woods, visit the site for a map that breaks it all down. – symptoms.webmd.com

‘Never frozen,’ always fattening – What is the worst sandwich a consumer can get at fast food chain Wendy’s? The Asiago Ranch Chicken Club Sandwich, clocking in at 660 calories. A lighter counterpart, the Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich cuts the calorie count nearly in half to 360. Consider your options in the drive-through line. – webmd.com

Pizza might help – Fat intake helps slow down alcohol absorption. Maybe have a slice of pizza or a T-bone before heading out for a night on the town. – webmd.com Diet mixed drinks – Using diet soda as a mixer will not prevent a hangover. That only helps in terms of calorie intake. – webmd.com Malpractice – According to this year’s Medscape Ethics Report, 55 percent of doctors said it wasn’t OK to carry out procedures to avoid malpractice worries. Another 22 percent said “it depends.” – webmd.com

Move the Needle: Measure everything Commentary by CJ McClanahan

How do you know if your business is improving?

For most professionals, the only way to know if things are getting better is to review the profit and loss statement each month.

The problem with relying solely on profit and loss to measure a company’s success is that this financial document misses many of the other indicators that illustrate the health of a business.

These key performance indicators (KPI’s) can be identified and tracked in just about every department within a company.

Marketing – Every business allocates resources toward generating new leads. Therefore, you need to be able to identify where your leads are coming from and then calculate the ROI (cost per lead) from each marketing strategy.

Sales – The most important measurement in sales is your conversion rate (the number of leads that buy). However, you should also track additional indicators throughout the sales process including number of calls, number of appointments, size of opportunity, etc.

Operations – The figures you track from an operations standpoint are directly related to the type of business you operate. For example, if you owned a manufacturing company, you might want to measure the down time of your equipment over a period of time.

Product/Service Delivery – As with operations, the figures you track in this category will

depend upon your industry. However, there are a few constants that you should consider tracking including customer satisfaction, speed of delivery of your product or service, quality of delivery, etc.

Human Resources – Unfortunately, this category is frequently skipped. Most business owners rush through the annual review but do very little to measure the KPI’s that illustrate their employees’ performance throughout the year.

The KPI’s captured depend on each person’s job responsibilities but every leader should be able to track three important trends: • Are they getting their work done?

• Is it completed successfully?

• Are they improving?

Chances are, you just finished reading the list above and concluded (sarcastically) that you wouldn’t mind tracking all of this information if you didn’t have a business to run.

I would argue that if you knew each of these indicators, maybe your business wouldn’t be so difficult to run. In addition, I am certain that once you have a better understanding of these KPI’s, you will find more enjoyment in your monthly review of the P&L.

Shopping for Hope Commentary by Bob Walters

During the 30 years of my life that I spent religiously not going to church, I don’t recall ever searching for “hope in Christ.”

I hoped for all kinds of other stuff ... hoped I’d get a job, get married, have children, do well, stay healthy, etc. It never occurred to me to examine the quality of hope or where it came from. I was fortunate to ride out life’s good times and bad in the hope that things would get better, rather than in despair that they wouldn’t.

A lot of people have hope, especially Americans. Optimism and freedom, the essential seeds of hope, are an American birthright. Hope in the world, to me, didn’t seem especially better or worse than hope in the Lord. Hope was hope.

Freedom was freedom. What’s the difference?

Well ... big difference, obviously, but it took faith to make me see it.

Right now millions and millions of optimistic, non-churched Americans are planning and hoping for a Merry Christmas or a Happy Holiday or whatever. And they will have one. They are aware that the greatest joy of this season is in the giving not the receiving. They get the Christian meaning of the season. But they shortchange themselves by limiting their hope to the secular holiday. They miss the cosmic enormity

of hope given to us by God in the eternal salvation and divine New Covenant power of faith that was introduced to humanity in the humility and fragility of the baby Jesus born in the obscurest of humble mangers. The manger is Christmas, but Jesus is life.

Why are people so hard to evangelize when the most basic Christmas messages of giving, of peace, and of joy, are at once shared and commonly desired by almost everyone?

Because putting one’s entire life, hope and eternity exclusively into the hands of Jesus Christ through our faith requires forfeiture of our assuredness in our own power. Even if that human assuredness is a false truth and temporal mirage, it’s easier to understand and explain than the divine assuredness of hope in Christ.

Christians, in love bordering on desperation, want to give that gift of hope. And while it is more blessed to give than receive (Acts 20:35), hope in Christ has to be received in faith before it can be given in love.

Maybe that’s why it never occurred to me to shop for it.

Why are people so hard to evangelize when the most basic Christmas messages of giving, of peace, and of joy, are at once shared and commonly desired by almost everyone?

What happens on Fremont Street

• Group Fitness Classes (Household Pass only)

Commentary by Tracy Line

Long before Las Vegas was the Strip, before it became Sin City, before the infamous ad campaign about keeping secrets, Las Vegas was simply a place to eat, drink and gamble.

And in 1905 you did that at the corner of Fremont and Main.

Now a hundred years later, Fremont Street plays second fiddle to the Strip and I’m not so sure it should. This quaint section of the city, in the heart of the downtown, has an appeal all its own.

First of all, it is small. Small enough that you can walk around without getting lost or get blisters on your feet. And while the hotels and casinos on the strip tend to showcase opulence, Fremont Street hotels are a bit more ... old school. Think vintage Vegas: inexpensive allyou-can eat buffets with steak and shrimp, and less crowded casinos with cheaper tables and classic ambiance.

But with this vintage comes modernity. Fremont Street offers nightly light shows on the

Viva Vision Screen, the world’s largest screen with 12 million lights and 550 watts of superior sound. The screen towers 90 feet above a pedestrian walkway housing the many shops, casinos, restaurants, bars and two performance stages.

There are many free concerts and events giving the area a celebratory atmosphere. Once a month, the city offers a free strEATS festival bringing in food trucks, artists, DJs and all round fun.

Many of the hotels are original and most have recently been renovated. In addition, there is a new zip-line (Flightlinez at Fremont Street) and a group of eclectic nightclubs and lounges in the Freemont East District.

All in all, Las Vegas is a fun town with lots to see and do. But if you’ve been there, done that on the Strip, try staying on Fremont Street. You may find you like it even better.

Bringing you a grammar lesson Grammar Guy Jordan Fischer Alright, readers, we’re going to a party today.

Since we’re in the Hoosier state, and everybody here has a family recipe for something delicious, the party is going to be a pitch-in. We’ll be taking my grandmother’s strawberry and rhubarb pie. Or will we be bringing it? Do you know?

The verbs “bring” and “take” are two sides of the same action – and which one you use depends on which side you are on. In the case above, since the pie will be traveling with us to the party, we would say we are taking it.

If I was already at the party, though, and for some reason forgot the pie at home (Side note: I never forget about pie.), I might call you and ask you to bring it with you. Did you catch the difference?

As with most verbs, the trick to determining whether to use “bring” or “take” lies in paying attention to the direction of the action. “Take” is used when an object is heading away from the speaker (i.e. “Take that cat away from me. I think I’m allergic to it.”). “Bring” is used when an object is heading toward the speaker (i.e.

“Bring me the remote, please.”).

You can take away a bad driver’s license. You can take out food. You can take a get well card to a sick friend. On the flip side, when you get sick a friend could bring you soup. If you lock yourself out of your car, your wife could bring you the spare set of keys. And if you were hosting a party, you could invite guests to bring their friends – of course, then you would have to share the pie with more people.

Getting “bring” and “take” right can be simple, if you let it. If you find yourself confused about which to use, simply take a step back, look at where the speaker is (if it isn’t you) and figure out whether the object being described is moving toward or away from him/her. And remember: While you could take pie away from me, I’d much prefer you bring it toward me.

"The verbs 'bring' and 'take' are two sides of the same action - and which one you use depends upon which side you are on."

Expect the unexpected Commentary by Vicky Earley

There is nothing like the unexpected in interior decorating.

I love entering a room only to discover that a piece, previously sentenced to eternity in a landfill, has a new raison d’eter in an unexpected form.

I have a client, Becky Langan, who has exceeded all expectations in that arena. She innocently posted a photo of a wine tasting room that she had been working on since I first met her …. and then the comments began to flow.

The fruit of her labor is an intimate setting that boasts walls covered in wine labels that were carefully cut from boxes. This wooden mosaic is a textural backdrop that is one of those surprises that makes the room. Patience, lots of wine crates, and a willing woodworker were all that was required for this stunning final reveal.

Similar to the wooden wine label “wallpaper,” project, one of my favorite projects has been to take an old globe and spray paint it with colors from a current palette. This is a fabulous way to bring unexpected shape and color to a bookshelf or table. Liquitex has introduced a line of spray paints that feature the esoteric colors not found in typical spray paints. When clustered in complimentary or analogous colors, these orbs are a fascinating twist in the space.

I have been known to raid old jewelry boxes for inspiration. Consider clusters of long pearls strands and necklaces as tie backs. These formerly functional tiebacks become works of art against a beautiful silk panel and are truly unique to you!

A desk as a night stand is not as exciting but might be my favorite surprise. It is functional and exceeds my expectation of surprise in de-

sign! An upholstered desk chair that tucks out from the desk helps soften what would previously have been an area reserved for wood.

The first time I stepped out on the limb with decorating was years ago when I used a garden gate as a headboard for my four-year-old daughter’s twin bed. I was told by an extended family member that I needed to get a “real” headboard … a gate was not appropriate.

To that end, I encourage each and every decorating aficionado out there to break the rules and challenge the status quo!

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Creating new cabinet space in kitchen remodel Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This house was built in 2001 in the Highland Springs subdivision in Brownsburg and they are the original owners. This was one of the first homes built in this neighborhood.

WHY REMODEL: According to the owner, “We were never happy with the flow of the kitchen. The refrigerator was back in a corner and could only open half-way because it was a French door style. The peninsula tended to trap people in the narrow kitchen when we were entertaining. We needed new flooring, and since we wanted to make changes to the kitchen, we decided to do the whole project. It was time to upgrade.”

DESIGN PHASE: A half wall and column between the family room and kitchen was removed. “The narrowness of the kitchen was a great design challenge for us. It was very helpful to have a designer work with us to figure out how to open the flow. The final product ended up looking wider and having more space than we expected. We ended up with a design that tripled our cabinet space by using every nook and cranny available. The designers even put a

cabinet near the sliding-glass door for the dog stuff.”

CABINET DETAILS: The new cabinetry is maple stock cabinetry in off-white cashmere with a glazing highlight. The owner decided to add several roll out trays for easy access.

FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented, “The honed granite is my favorite part of the new kitchen. It does not show the crumbs, dust or streaks when the sun comes in. It is very family-friendly material. I also love our pantry door. The glass makes the hallway seem more open and less like just another closet. The size

of the sink works very well for our family and having a water filter at the sink rather than in the fridge is a nice feature. My husband is really enjoying the new appliances, especially the indoor ice-maker.”

Downtown Establishing a Downtown

I

had heard from many people theIr desIre for

a pedestrian-friendly, traditional downtown.

We began thinking about where to redevelop and quickly realized that we didn’t have an identifiable center. People had different ideas about where our downtown actually was located. Some contended that it was the office building corridor along Meridian, while others maintained that it was along Range Line Road because that’s where most of our retail was. Still others claimed that the downtown was in Old Town, an area that had been the historic business center when Carmel was a small town. The problem was that all of these were legitimate claims, but to develop as a city, we needed a central, identifiable downtown area.

22

Carmel: ’round about right

We began by taking a look at our Old Town area. Carmel began its life as the Quaker town of Bethlehem in the early 19th century. The town changed the name to Carmel in 1874 because there was already another Bethlehem in Indiana and, as the story goes, the U.S. Post Office threatened to cut off mail delivery unless a name change was made. Bethlehem was renamed Carmel. The Society of Friends, or Quakers, believed in adhering to an austere lifestyle, to which the simple and plain architecture of the original Old Town area stands as a testament.
