to comment on the Civic Theatre because, unlike the other six, their lease agreements are with the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, not the Center. Castroverde Moskalenko, who was named executive director in June, said she didn’t know why the Civic Theatre’s lease was with the CRC, not the CFTPA. Castroverde Moskalenko offered sympathy for the Civic theatre and the other troupes.

“After 2009, more and more arts organizations have had difficulty raising money,” Castroverde Moskalenko said. “Endowments dropped. Fundraising dropped.”

The theatre company is one of the 10 largest in the nation and the largest in Indiana, according to its Web site. About half of its budget comes from ticket sales and educational programs, with the remaining amount coming from civic, corporate and municipal donations.

The theatre company sold more than $760,000 worth of tickets during its first year in Carmel, Dick said. The theatre company currently is performing “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” through Jan. 5., 2013.

Former College Wood Elementary facility set for demolition

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com The College Wood Elementary facility located near Carmel Middle School is scheduled to be demolished by late January. Due to seasonal asphalt production issues, portions of the project, including work on the parking lot, will not be complete until spring 2013.

The total cost of the demolition is approximately $412,000.

Three quarters of the main parking lot will be used as overflow parking for Carmel Middle School and daily parking for teaching staff.

A portion of the building’s footprint will be used for the Carmel Clay Schools Community Garden. A cooperative effort between Carmel Clay Schools and the CCS Green Team, the garden will be open to all Carmel residents and Carmel Clay School employees.

63 plots, each four feet by 15 feet, will be

available for $10. There is currently a waiting list for plots, but CCS Green Team is still accepting applications.

Beyond the garden itself, the CCS Green Team plans to include picnic tables, benches and possibly a staging area. The existing playground is not slated to be demolished and will become a feature of the community garden.

The remainder of the footprint will be an open lawn area.

Carmel Clay Schools ended its use of the facility at the end of the 2003-2004 school year. Since then, the Hamilton Boone Madison Special Services Cooperative has leased the building. The new College Wood Elementary facility, 12415 Shelborne Road, opened for the 2004-2005 school year.

Lynette Kidd lost 50 pounds through A Call To L.I.F.E. at St.Vincent.

And so can you.

Losing weight can be tough. But with A Call To L.I.F.E. program, available at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, natural weight-loss through healthy lifestyle choices has never been easier. Just ask Lynette Kidd. She lost 50 pounds over a seven-month period while following her personalized A Call To L.I.F.E. fitness and nutrition plan.

dinah

“I knew I needed to lose weight, but I wasn’t motivating myself. I had tried various diet and exercise programs over the years, but nothing worked. That’s when I turned to the experts at St.Vincent. A Call To L.I.F.E. made all the difference,” said Lynette.

A Call To L.I.F.E. is a personalized weight-loss program focused on maintaining good results through healthy lifestyle habits. It includes 20 visits with qualified weight loss professionals.

During each session, you will meet with a physician and a diet, exercise or psychology specialist.

Together, they will design a program around your lifestyle, rather than a one-size-fits all program.

The first 10 weekly sessions are the most intense. They include weigh-ins, labs and counseling.

The next 10 bi-weekly sessions are designed to help you transition to greater personal accountability. In addition, Drs. Adrienne R. Gomez and Lori A. Hurst have significant experience and education to help patients throughout the program.

“Now that I’ve gone through the A Call To L.I.F.E. program, I feel great both physically and mentally. I’m more confident. I do stuff like play tennis with my husband, mow the lawn with a push mower and go out with friends,” said Lynette.

Many insurance companies cover full or partial costs of the A Call To L.I.F.E. program. Be sure to check with your employer or medical insurance company to see if A Call To L.I.F.E. is a qualified service.

For more information about how you can become a part of A Call To L.I.F.E., call 317-582-8030 or visit weightloss.stvincent.org.

Open Upright MRI: Better for patients — and doctors, too Often, patients with serious pain will postpone treatment for their condition to avoid getting an MRI. This is usually due to perceived fears about the exam. The enclosed space, strange noises and inability to see outside the machine all contribute to patient anxiety.

I had a lot of questions.

And St.Vincent had all the answers.

More than 16,000 people have found the answers to their questions at the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence. and — as our program continues to grow — we still offer every single patient ongoing support before and after their surgery. Get the answers to your questions about bariatric weight loss surgery by attending a free seminar.

Fortunately, there’s an alternative for patients who don’t want to undergo a traditional MRI: the Open Upright MRI. With the Open Upright MRI, the scanning process is much more comfortable for the patient as they no longer have to be confined in a small space during the test.

The machine allows patients to receive an MRI in a variety of positions, including standing, sitting or lying down comfortably.

The Open Upright MRI is advantageous for doctors as well, because it uses state-of-the-art technology that provides a more detailed image ensuring accurate diagnosis. In the world of imaging, it’s a win-win.

ACTION: Public Hearing, Hunter’s Creek streetlights WHAT IT MEANS: An October 2003 petition requested the city pay for the installation of Hunter’s Creek streetlights.

The petition also requested the city establish a payment plan so Hunter’s Creek taxpayers would repay the expense.

The petition was countered and unresolved. Resident Rick Wright requested the council reject this ordinance. Wright stated the neighborhood’s residents have changed in the last decade. “The people who signed this petition, maybe even the people who started this petition, may not even live in our neighborhood,” he said. Resident Don Sentir added, “At last count, the (current) majority did not want it.”

ACTION: Right of way granted to proposed development WHAT IT MEANS: Local builder Pittman Partners owns the 63 acres bordered by 116th Street, Illinois Street, 111th Street and Springmill Road. Pittman and local developer Tom Crowley, as JEC Partnership, are planning The Bridges development for this land. The city originally retained right of way for two easement parcels along 116th and Illinois streets to allow for road improvements and round-about construction.

City council agreed the parcels were no longer needed and reverted ownership to JEC. Resident John Accetturo expressed support for the city’s decision. He referred to the area as a “major economic corridor” and explained “what we lose by vacating the easement will be more than gained back by the development in this area.”

WHAT’S NEXT: Property owners abutting these parcels will be notified: Billy Creek Assoc., Clarian Health, Fidelity Office Building, Heartland Real Estate Holdings, and Suburban Land Reserve. JEC Partnership assured the city its use of the parcels for the proposed mixed-use development will not hinder any public access or use of adjoining properties.

ACTION: Carmel City Council President elected, officials appointed WHAT IT MEANS: Council President Rick Sharp was unanimously reelected. Tom Crowley was appointed to City Center Community Development Corp.; Drew Williams was reappointed to economic development commission; Bob Wallace was reappointed to ethics commission; Alana Shane was reappointed to police dept. merit board; and Dave Bowers and Brad Myers were reappointed to the redevelopment commission.

WHAT’S NEXT: Council awaits a nominee for the fire dept. merit board. Council President Rick Sharp thanked the council for its vote. “I very much appreciate your confidence and will try to live up to that in the coming year,” Sharp said. “It has been a pleasure and an honor working with all of you this year through some very difficult times. I think we got some very good things done for the city.”

Philanthropy The untold story of the ArtsGarden COMMUNITY

Commentary by Jeff Worrell I hope you can recall my column of two weeks ago when I told you about Carmel High School Art Department Chair and Teacher Jen Bubp. She was inspired to turn an unused courtyard area into a quiet, calming place for students, teachers and staff. She calls it the CHS ArtsGarden, and it is now a work in progress as many constituencies of our community come together to turn an idea into reality. She is trying to raise $8,000 to complete the project.

For example, Current in Carmel reader Clyde Pennington saw the column and decided he would help. Mr. Pennington is a local artist and welder. After touring the space, he decided he could create larger than life butterfly sculptures.

Butterflies will play a prominent role in the space, both live and depicted in visual art pieces.

But the most gratifying, yet unreported, fact left out of my column was the initial support offered to Jen by the Carmel Arts Council. Long before any trees had been planted or murals painted on the wall, the Carmel Arts Council listened to an appeal from art teachers Jon Kane, Kate Ristow and Jen Bubp about attending a conference to explore how to go about creating a place for inspiration, a quiet space for reflection and a public area that could be enjoyed through several art mediums. Students requiring

a little “down” time and solitude could also find comfort there.

So, Donna Tutwiler, Joyce Burrell, Kathleen O’Neill Stevens and Doreen Squire Ficara of the Carmel Arts Council created a committee to raise money to meet the art teachers’ request.

During the Christmas season a year ago, they set up a very plain, stark and undecorated Christmas Tree in the Renaissance Art Gallery owned

by O’Neill Stevens. The idea was to donate money to the CHS project and a decoration would be added to the tree.

Through this and other fundraising efforts, the Carmel Arts Council will always be able to claim that without them, the project might not even have gotten off the ground. Arts Council Chairwoman Donna Tutwiler said, “We try to support the local arts community in Carmel, but this project felt really special. Especially after recent national events involving violence, we know we are on the right track with the ArtsGarden.” The Arts Council sprinkled the seeds.

Now we can make sure they sprout and grow.

Humane Society launches holiday programs

By Nina Johnson • news@currentinwestfield.com The Humane Society for Hamilton County hopes to find permanent homes for their Featured 50 pets by Monday, and the community can help through two holiday programs.

The Homeward Bound for the Holidays program features 50 dogs and cats that have waited the longest for a home. The Humane Society’s website lists the Featured 50 with photos and personality profiles.

Manager of marketing and public relations Jennifer Judd explained that a volunteer writes a custom profile for every animal at the shelter.

“Having over 400 animals to write a profile for can be a challenge, so you try to find that one special thing about each cat or dog. One of our amazing volunteers, Rebecca Ebert, singlehandedly writes all the profiles, and we truly think they make a difference,” Judd said.

All Featured 50 pets adopted through the Homeward Bound program will come with a Noah’s Animal Hospital gift package. This package includes a free annual exam, booster vaccines and a dental cleaning. Featured 50 dogs also come with either an additional Paws and Play or Ultimate Canine training package.

The Holiday Sponsor program offers another option to help a shelter animal. Sponsors choose between three levels of support and two ways to dedicate their gift. Sponsors who dedicate their gift in the name of someone else will have a card

Adoption hours: Friday, Saturday, Sunday - Noon to 5 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday - Noon to 7 p.m.

Cards feature professional photos of six different shelter animals. Sponsors can also choose to honor their family, a pet or the memory of those who have passed away. Sponsored names will be displayed on an ornament decorating a shelter animal’s cage.

Judd reports the community has made the programs successful.

“We’ve had a dog adopted that has been waiting since August 2011, and a cat that has been waiting for almost two years,” Judd said. She encouraged the public to visit the wide variety of animals and pointed out that purebred pets are among those available.

“About 40 percent of the cats and dogs in our care are purebred,” Judd said.

The shelter also welcomes basic supply donations such as liquid laundry soap, trash bags, bleach, and canned cat and dog food. A wish list of more specific items can be found at www. hamiltonhumane.com.

Cover Story

City Center, road improvements and more focus of next year’s efforts

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com As 2012 draws to a close, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and Carmel Chamber of Commerce President Mo Merhoff weighed in on some of this year’s biggest moments and what projects they see the city and local businesses focusing on in the next year.

Development and redevelopment

“In terms of redevelopment, City Center is the number one goal, to get the initial phase of City Center completed,” said Brainard.

While not willing to put a strict deadline on the project, Brainard seemed confident in the amount of work that could be completed on City Center over the next year.

“I’m always anxious. I want to push and get these things done as soon as possible, but we have Brainard four buildings preliminarily approved, two Anderson Birkla buildings and two Pedcor buildings. We are going to work hard to get more investment in (City Center),” said Brainard.

The four new City Center buildings will be a mix of retail, residential and office spaces similar to that of other areas in Carmel.

While preliminarily approved, the buildings have not yet been scheduled for construction but ground breakings are expected in 2013.

“I agree with the mayor’s assessment regarding City Center (being a focus), but also see opportunities continuing in the Arts & Design District as well as the redevelopment of the 116th and Range Line Road area and, with the completion of Illinois Street on the horizon, development associated with The Bridges project and other areas west of Meridian Street,” Merhoff said.

Merhoff Kite Realty’s redevelopment of two retail centers at 116th Street and Range Line Road is scheduled to be completed in a number of phases throughout 2013.

Economic recovery

Like any year, 2012 was not without its bumps in the road.

Both Brainard and Merhoff seemed to feel that the economy could have been stronger.

“I’d like to see the economy a little stronger everywhere in the United States,” Brainard said. “That impacts Carmel, too, but Carmel has weathered this time very well. We would have been able to do more, made more street improvements and other improvements had the economy improved better. We got through the year.”

“From (the Chamber of Commerce’s) perspective, the economy, while certainly not leaping ahead, is moving forward. Many

Major moments

Carmel was placed in the national spotlight on more than one occasion in 2012. The national recognition began with Carmel being named the “#1 Best Place to Live” by Money magazine, continued on into September’s BMW Championship held at Carmel’s Crooked Stick Golf Club, and culminated in Carmel being featured on the cover of USA Today.

“That’s the hallmark moment, Money Magazine naming us the No. 1 best place to live in the country and that’s based on quantifiable data.

That wasn’t just a contest we entered. Having front page coverage in USA Today was a defining moment as well because both those things happened due to policies put in place ten or 15 years ago that are now proving to have paid off for us,” Brainard said. “We can use that to leverage our economic development and marketing efforts in a wonderful way from now on. If I’m talking to someone who has never been in Indiana or never heard of Carmel, I can pull that out of my briefcase, and suddenly, I have that New Yorker’s attention.”

Opinion Where is regard for human life?

Heavy hearts It is our position that keeping children safe is a priority of our nation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost loved ones in Newtown, Conn.

The first questions that come to mind after such a shocking and horrific event are “how and why”? The search for answers has sparked passionate debates on gun control – specifically the accessibility to automatic weaponry, lacking mental health education and services, the muffling of organized religion in an effort to be politically correct and gratuitously violent movies and video games produced by the entertainment industry.

Like our schools, Sandy Hook Elementary practiced lockdown drills, tragically it was not enough.

Our country was intended to be a safe haven. This type of tragedy is not supposed to happen in America, specifically, not to innocent children and their teachers at school.

It’s time for a national dialogue on all the aforementioned issues.

Must our schools become military fortresses with bulletproof windows and barbed wire fences to shield evil? While changes must take place, we cannot count on a government-legislated panacea. Love, compassion, common sense, morality and civility cannot be bottled or legislated. In the memory of these little angels, we must succeed in the latter.

Bored board

Commentary by Terry Anker

For many of us, there seemingly is not a week that goes by that doesn’t involve a committee, board or other communal meeting. Designed to share information, make informed decisions, establish responsibilities and goals, these gatherings bring value to the most humble church basement and the loftiest corporate executive suite. In my own life, I have spent more than an hour or two sitting around the table seeking collaboration and camaraderie to advance my community, my faith and my business. Yet, for all their importance, some of these meetings are dreaded like lines at amusement parks – long and perhaps necessary but rarely commensurate with the minutes consumed by the actual ride.

In fact, the idea for this column was presented by a reader who’d had her fill of pointless meetings meandering aimlessly, all-the-while wasting the precious time of those that had gathered for the forum. She, it seems, longs for the structure and protocol

of a formal process to move the indispensable work of the boardroom forward in the most efficient and respectful way. But, in a world where jeans have become more common than business suits, is there a place for formality, even in the conference room?

Meetings, like any journey from being in one place and headed to another, require some sense of direction. If the goal is to advance a cause or move a company, the agenda acts as the map.

The minutes are the perfunctory reminders of things that have been done in preparation for today’s trip. The reports inform the group that progress (or regress) is being made and that the journey is, in fact, underway as promised. But mostly, isn’t organization about showing respect for the other people in the room? Innovation needn’t be stymied by structure.

We hesitated to interrupt your enjoyment of the holiday season with this, but it needs to be written: We believe the recent horrific tragedy in Newtown, Conn., is as much about the breakdown of the American value system as anything.

Our mainstream-media brethren will continue to overanalyze the ownership of and the use of guns as the culprit in this shocking event.

We already have watched - and will continue to watch for weeks - experts speaking of all the possible reasons; they will pontificate until we are more traumatized. President Barack Obama, who was genuinely and deeply touched by the killings, pointed to a debate that he said should take politics out of it. We know it’s about guns, and guns were used to commit this unconscionable, despicable act. The deeper issue? Try this: As a nation, we have lost all respect and regard for human life, and until our values are reversed in that respect, we can expect more horrendous tragedies as was experienced in Newtown. We have created in the last 40 years a culture based on our idolization and emulation of much of what Hollywood produces; it’s a constant contributing factor to our lost moral soul as a nation. Need we say more? Our thoughts and prayers go to the victims and the survivors of this tragic occurrence.

Always looking forward

Commentary by Christian Sorrell

During the last several weeks, I have been speaking with a number of people across Carmel, discussing their biggest moments of 2012 and asking what they plan to accomplish in 2013.

These people include Mayor Jim Brainard, Chamber of Commerce President Mo Merhoff, and even a number of my followers on Twitter.

Although each person and organization has a slightly different direction they would like to see Carmel take in 2013, there is one defining constant. Everyone is looking to make progress.

Brainard is pushing for more progress to be made on city infrastructure and major city projects like City Center. Merhoff and the chamber are looking to grow business across all areas of Carmel and are even hoping to progress the state of business across Hamilton County. There are two sides of the recent conflicts between school administration and teachers looking to progress the current state of Carmel schools, their working conditions and the education

system at large. Several concerned citizens are focused squarely on making progress on Central Indiana’s mass transit, an area which has been in the news off and on for years, but may finally begin to flourish in 2013.

The idea of constant progress is an important one. It shows that while we are all thankful for what we have, especially during this time of year, we also understand that things can and should be better. No matter how great or dire the circumstance, progress always is an option for those who seek it actively enough. It is this approach of constant progress that I will be taking with every edition of Current in Carmel in 2013 and a standard to which I hope you will hold Current in Carmel going forward.

Humor

A quiet moment Commentary by Danielle Wilson My husband, Doo, had surgery last week, and though it was a minor outpatient procedure, sitting in the waiting room gave me precious time to reflect on the past year.

Not a ton of time, mind you, as I needed to catch up on the celebrity scene (the Royals, the Cruises, the Honey-Boo-Boos), the latest fashion trends (I can rock a Russian-inspired hat) and work stuff (a teacher’s day is never done.)

Through my extraordinary people-whispering skills, I discovered the receptionist’s son was in the same math class as my daughter and so wasted a good half hour discussing the pros and cons of middle school.

But, after I’d settled in, popped a Diet Coke and had nothing more to do than watch the clock, the fact that Doo was under the knife rattled me a bit. What if something went wrong?

People die on the operating table all the time; not generally 40-year old men in for what’s typically a pediatric procedure (ear drum repair and tubes for good measure.) But still, I don’t want to be a single parent! And how do parents of sick children handle this kind of stress day in and day out? I could live without Doo, but I don’t think I’d make it if something happened to one of my kids.

So I guess the point of this column is to encourage you to take a moment during this busy

holiday season and focus on what’s important in life. Family, good health and employment.

I’d have rather not spent my Friday in a generic lobby area drinking stale coffee with powdered creamer, but the opportunity to just stop, to step away from the demands of work, motherhood and marriage (and particularly from puppy ownership) and reflect on what’s good in my life was truly a gift. Doo and the kids are healthy, I have a job that I love, and I am surrounded by friends and family who, for the most part, tolerate me. All in all, 2012 was a very good year for the Wilsons.

Did I pay for those few precious hours? Of course! A weekend spent nursing a hopped-up spouse who can’t hear anything while trying to shuttle kids to theater rehearsals, swim meets and soccer games made me not only bitter and jealous (at least Doo had Vicodin!) but physically and emotionally exhausted. I was also totally unprepared for my classes come Monday morning.

But, having the time to appreciate all that is good in my life was the perfect way to end the year. So, here’s wishing you a quiet moment over the next few weeks, and many more in 2013. Peace out.

Funny I should say that Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

This is my annual tip of the hat to all those who have perplexed, frustrated and amused me and, as a result, inspired one of my columns this past year. So, for 2012, I’d like to say thanks to: … the guy whose underwear I accidentally put on at the gym and then wore home because I was afraid to tell him the truth. Here’s to a clean start in 2013. … the people at Humana Health Insurance who wrote me a letter telling me they couldn’t cover my prostate exam because they have me listed as a woman. When I called, the customer service rep said they had a software problem.

I told him that apparently I had a hardware problem. He didn’t laugh. I hope you did. … my massage therapist who twisted me into contortions, causing me to scream and groan in pain. I wish I could afford to go more often. … the now disgraced editor of a Minnesota newspaper who stole my newspaper columns word for word and printed them under his own name. When he was fired, the publisher said it was no big loss, that the column wasn’t always that funny, anyway. Wait a second! … the staff at my doctor’s office who requested that I fill out a form listing the cause of death of my parents, my grandparents, and all my aunts and uncles. I had neither the pa-

tience nor the necessary information to complete this task, so I wrote down the same thing for everybody. The nurse called to tell me that in all her years in medicine, I was the first person who had 12 relatives run over by a bus. … the good people of Taiwan who, according to researchers, live seven years longer than average because they dine at home instead of going out and eating restaurant food. Of course, these people were eating Chinese food just about every night. They can call it “eating in,” but here in the Wolfsie household, we call that take-out. … my dentist who sends me a reminder card for my appointment, then an email, followed by a text message and finally a phone call. Then when I arrive, the hygienist always says: “Oh, do you have an appointment today?” … my wife for forgiving my obsessivecompulsive packing method when we prepared for new carpeting in our home. I put things in boxes alphabetically. Cell phone, can opener, cancelled checks: all together. That’s how we finally found the cat.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE DECREE OR COURT ORDER In most, if not all family law cases, the finalization of the divorce/case does not mean that all matters related to the case have concluded. Rather, the entry of a Court Order finalizing the matter is only a Court decision (or approval of an agreement) as to how all matters related to the case will be handled. Each Court Order contains provisions which must then be enforced in order to effectuate the decision. In many cases all provisions are carried out without issue. However, in the event either party fails to comply with the terms of the Court Order, mechanisms exist to gain an individual’s compliance.

The Court can intervene after a party alleges noncompliance by the opposing party. Such an action can be initiated by filing a Motion for Rule to Show Cause (commonly referred to as a “contempt” motion) notifying the Court of the issue. If the Court finds that the actions of one of the parties rises to the level of a contempt citation, a variety of penalties exist to punish the past actions and encourage future compliance with the Court Order. Parties would be well-advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with the enforcement of a Court Order as the remedies vary based upon the issue presented as well as the nature of the non-compliance itself.

Enforcement of Child Support. Pursuant to Indiana Law, there are potential civil and criminal penalties for the nonpayment of child support; failure to make support payments can have serious ramifications. If the prosecutor chooses to go forward with criminal proceedings, the charges can rise to a Class C Felony, punishable by 2-8 years in prison conceivably, for the nonpayment of support in excess of a statutorily-defined amount. As the payee of a support order, you may request the Court exercise its power to hold the child support payor in contempt. This can result in a variety of potential orders, including that the contemptor pay the other parent’s attorney’s fees for any and all costs associated with maintaining or bringing the action; order that the contemptor perform community service; issue a warrant for the individual’s arrest for failure appear to show cause for the nonpayment of support; suspend the individual’s driver’s license; intercept tax refunds to

pay against past-due support; and attach interest to a delinquent support balance. In exceptional cases, the Court can incarcerate a non-payor of support; however, rarely are parties jailed when found to be in civil contempt. Frequently, this is counter-productive as that person stands to lose their employment and become further delinquent on his/her child support payments. Be aware, however, that the Court must consider whether the acts of the non-payor are willful; if the circumstances under which this person is not paying are beyond their control, the Court may not believe a contempt citation is proper.

Enforcement of Real Estate / Property Issues. If an unpaid obligation remains from a divorce, in lieu of seeking remedies as a contempt action, another option to explore would be to obtain a money judgment against an opposing party and enforcing it through regular collections proceedings. However, this change from divorce obligation to money judgment, generally, removes the contempt aspects and simply turns the debt into money with statutory interest and the ability to collect through wage and bank garnishments. Obviously, when the terms of the decree are not strictly financial, the option to convert to a money judgment is not appropriate. For example, if the parties agree to refinance a mortgage into one party’s name and that person subsequently does not qualify for the same, the third party (the creditor) cannot be ordered to comply with the Court Order. Therefore, the remedy requested will likely be to modify the terms of the Decree, and not to find the party in contempt. Additionally, issues exist when a party is unable to sell a home within a set timeframe due to the issues in the housing market, effectively frustrating the intentions of the divorce decree but not through the fault of either party such that a contempt award would be proper.

Ringing in the New Year, safely

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Celebrating doesn’t have to mean drinking or potentially dangerous situations, and Hamilton County leaders are providing another safe opportunity to celebrate New Year’s Eve at the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

“It’s a tremendous benefit for the community to have folks volunteer their time to provide options,” said Lt. Bruce Barnes of the Noblesville Police Dept. “There’s a lot of different things. What they’re doing is such a tremendous benefit.”

More than 200 people of all ages attended last year’s inaugural event and free alternative celebration. Organizers hope to have 250 to 300 people this year.

“It easily could have been more because we went through a lot of food,” event coordinator Jim Wafford of Logan Street Signs & Banners in Noblesville said.

Wafford is working closely with George Kristo, the executive director of the Hamilton County Council Wafford on Alcohol and Other Drugs, to coordinate the event.

Kristo and his late wife, Linda, have hosted the alternative party in previous years.

“I’m very flattered and honored to have George ask me to be a part and take the lead in the tradition he and his wife began,” Wafford said.

Games and activities begin at 8 p.m. with the kitchen starting to serve food at 8:15 p.m. The event will include Bingo, board games, cornhole, mini basketball shootout and, of course, ping pong. Wafford bought a second table because of its popularity last year.

“It was such a hit people were standing in line,” he said. “We want to put on a good time.”

Wafford said the event would also feature two classic movies: “Little Princess” with Shirley Temple at 7:30 p.m. and “Fancy Pants” with Bob Hope and Lucille Ball at 9:30 p.m. At midnight, a live streaming of New York City’s Times Square will help count down the seconds to 2013.

Local DJ, Kevin Friend “DJ Doctor Toast,” has volunteered his services to play music throughout the event.

✴ New Year’s Eve Celebration at Chateau Thomas Winery • Ring in the New Year with music from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. as Jon Barnard and LJ Mechem play Classic Top 40’s Hits.

Taking a ride out to Reynolds Farm Equipment, Inc., 1501 Reynolds Dr., to check out its free Christmas lights display is low maintenance. The show will be special for family from out of town.

“We want this to be more family-oriented, broader. To show younger people there is a way to celebrate New Year’s without getting drunk,” Wafford said. “There are all kinds of food: pizza, hot dogs, even popcorn. People should have a fun time.”

Attendees can come and go as they please, but Wafford reminds parents that this is not a babysitting service.

“All kids under 12 need to be with an adult. The idea is you need to be there with your family,” he said, adding that a Noblesville police officer will be in attendance.

“It’s really fun to see the families come in as a family and play Monopoly or chess, something that takes time,” said Wafford. “Everyone should start the New Year together and that’s what we are all about.”

The event is free, but Wafford said he was struggling to find volunteers and door prizes for various games.

“I only have half of what we need,” he said.

Those interested in contributing or volunteering can call Wafford at 773-7200.

Et cetera

Premium Rush • PG-13, 91 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd A zippy, looper thrill ride of a movie, “Premium Rush” overcomes its paper-thin premise to deliver an enjoyable and well-crafted piece of entertainment.

The plot is silly to the point of absurdity: A maverick bike messenger named Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is pursed all over New York City by a corrupt detective (Michael Shannon) who’s after the documents he’s transporting across town. Wilee may have a low-paying, no-respect job, but he takes it seriously and refuses to give in, even as the stakes are steadily ratcheted up into deadly territory.

“Once it goes in the bag, it stays in the bag,” is his credo.

Director David Koepp, who also wrote the

screenplay with John Kamps, shows a flair for action sequences as the bicycles weave perilously in and out of traffic that’s constantly on the move.

One of the coolest bits is Wilee’s ability to analyze a situation and plot different outcomes on the fly. He’s like the Rain Man of traffic patterns.

“Premium Rush” may not be a great film, but it goes to show that filmmakers can approach even the lightest material with devotion and come out ahead of the pack.

Keeping up with your health goals? There’s an app for that news@currentinwestfield.com Just in time for those New Year’s resolutions, a new, free mobile app is making it easier for users to create and track their healthy habits. My Healthy Habits is part of an American Heart Association “Listen to Your Heart” initiative.

Supported by Indiana University Health, the app is now available on iTunes for iPhone and iPad users. It will become available to Android users in early 2013.

The new app allows users to: • Lead healthier lives by selecting from a list of physician-approved healthier habits to incorporate into their daily routine, such as eating four to five servings of vegetables and fruits a day or getting seven to eight hours of sleep a night • Customize their own healthy habits • Track their progress over 21 days • Share their progress with friends via social media • Receive push notifications to help motivate and maintain those healthy habits “We know friends and family members often

have a big impact on our health habits – for better or worse,” Dr. Yazid Fadl, IU Health cardiologist, said. “With the popularity of social media and smartphone apps, My Healthy Habits is another creative way to encourage others to also adopt healthy habits by letting them follow their friends’ progress online.”

Many wellness apps cater to those who are already relatively fit. For example, there are apps geared toward helping train experienced runners for participating in a marathon. My Healthy Habits, on the other hand, caters to everyone from those wanting to take that first step toward living a healthier life to those looking to add just a few more healthy habits. That difference has already caught the attention of several individuals, including Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel, who endorses the app.

“The Indiana Pacers and I support any initiative to get Hoosiers moving, and My Healthy Habits is a creative, homegrown app that change lifestyles with the click of a button,” Vogel said.

To download the app, visit the iTunes store and search for “My Healthy Habits.”

Escape Pass benefits include unlimited access to: • Indoor Aquatics • The Waterpark (seasonal) • Fitness Center • Gymnasium • KidZone (childcare) • Group Fitness Classes (Household Pass only)

Are lip lines reversible?

Commentary by Barry Eppley

Q: I am a 42-year-old white female with pale skin who has the beginnings of lip lines.

While my lips have never been really big, they have never been thin either and have always had good shape. I have noticed over the past few years that I am getting several noticeable lines in my upper lip. My lips still have some shape, but they are beginning to lose their fullness. What can I do to get rid of these lines and get some plumpness back to my lips?

A: Vertical lip lines, or wrinkles, are one of the peskiest facial aging problems. Lips lines, like all wrinkles, appear because of underlying muscle action. The mouth is encircled by a ring of muscle called the orbicularis oris. Anytime Balance through sleep – When the body doesn’t get enough sleep it produces much more ghrelin – an “appetitestimulating” hormone – than it needs and not enough leptin – the hormone that tells people to put the fork down. Getting enough sleep helps dissuade superfluous snacks during the following day. – www.webmd.com

you pucker your lips, this muscle is activated and contracts. Wrinkles appear on the overlying lip skin perpendicular to the direction of the muscle movement, thus the appearance of vertical lip lines. The thinner the lips, the more likely that lip lines will appear. Since it is impossible to completely stop moving your mouth, treatments must be directed toward either inducing some muscle weakness (dilute Botox injections) and/or plumping up the lips by injectable fillers.

In more advanced lip aging, laser resurfacing or dermabrasion must be considered.

Shopping for innocence Commentary by Bob Walters

Two carefree, local elementary school students happily hopped off a Friday afternoon school bus recently and their tearful mother fairly rushed the curb, hugging the bewildered children tightly and kissing them furiously.

Viewing the scene through my windshield and having been listening to the radio, I knew something the startled children didn’t: their mother’s heart had melted-down with that day’s news of the Sandy Hook K-4 Elementary School shootings in Newtown, Conn.

The bus’s red flashing stop arms held the moment: the mother’s children were safe; their world is not. Not even at Christmas.

I caught the mother’s eye, nodded and touched my hand to my heart, a knowing, sincere salute to her fierce love and to the beautiful innocence of her children.

If we are selfish and frivolous, we will dwell on the inconvenience of this tragedy so close to “our” Christmas. If we are circumspect and serious, we will add God’s message of Jesus Christ to our calculus of assessing both this tragedy and the holiday’s true significance.

We want Christmas to be gentle, but for God to be powerful and tough. We want God to stop the bad guys. We want him to protect us along with the people and things we love. If Jesus was sent as God’s servant, then we want Him to serve us … now.

Ironically, our macro-culture is too modern and educated to believe all that religious nonsense, yet privately we are too desperate and confused to entirely discount God. We shop for God “on sale” – on better terms for us with less at stake. We eject God from our public midst but blame God for our troubles. We opine, “God wouldn’t let this happen.” Then we demand, “Well, God, I’m waiting. Fix this mess.”

We don’t know who is surrendering to whom.

This Christmas, my thoughts go to King Herod (Matthew 2). He tried to kill Jesus, but instead killed every other baby boy in Bethlehem.

Baby Jesus, born in that Bethlehem manger, is the innocence and righteousness that God truly desires for mankind.

Sadly, the innocent and the righteous are not protected from the fallen world’s viciousness and violence; look at what happened to Jesus on the Cross. We are shocked at Newtown, but evil is nothing new.

It’s no wonder that we hug our innocent children tightly.

Oh, for a world where we hug Jesus even tighter.

“Well, God, I’m waiting.

Fix this mess.”

Grammar Guy

At versus in

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: Which is correct: I was born “at” Carmel or I was born “in” Carmel? I have always said in, but while looking at genealogy information I have noticed many records say born at. – Carol Fridlin, Carmel Answer: I’m glad you brought up genealogy in your question, Carol. Just as those historical records show the growth and changes to our families over the years, they often show how grammar and language have changed as well. In the case of your question, that’s exactly what has happened.

My father is the unofficial genealogist of our family. Since I’ve worked for newspapers, and knowing I’m something of a history junkie myself, he’ll often show me clips from old publications that he’s found. It’s fascinating to see how journalists even 50 years ago, not to mention 100 or more, used to write obituaries, birth announcements, etc.

Something you will see often in those old newspaper clips, as you’ve rightly pointed out, is Time saver – Have trouble getting out of the house in the morning? Try washing only your bangs, as that’s the hair that gets the dirtiest. – www.webmd.com

the phrase “born at,” rather than “born in.” For a long time, “born at” was the accepted preposition, especially in British records. Sometime during the early middle of the 20th century that began to change, but even today you will still see some hold-outs using “born at.”

Today, in 2012, your preference for “born in” is the standard preposition for countries, cities, towns, etc. While “born at” is not technically wrong, it is an archaic usage. You would use it, however, when referring to the specific place someone was born – a hospital, for example.

So while someone might be born in Carmel, they would be born at St.Vincent or IU Health North Hospitals – though not both at once.

We’d probably have to invent a new preposition for that.

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Removing walls to increase kitchen size Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This house is located on the west side of Carmel and was built by the current homeowners in 1992.

WHY REMODEL: According to the owner, “It was not convenient to use the kitchen, especially when we entertained. There were many bottleneck areas. Everyone would get in my way.

If you opened the oven or refrigerator, no one could get in to the kitchen. When we originally built the kitchen, I thought the compactness would be convenient because everything would be easily accessible. But, I was not thinking about how the kitchen flowed.”

DECORATIVE LIGHTING: “I found the lights over the island online by using Houzz.com.

They are designed by Louise Campbell, winner of the prestigious gold International Forum Design Award in 2005.”

ISLAND DESIGN: The owner commented, “I love the island and the space. The placement of the appliances is very convenient, with everything being one step away. The prep sink is very handy. Even though I have a bigger kitchen, it is more user-friendly.”

INSET CABINETS: The new perimeter cabinetry is maple semi-custom in polar white. The

to use the steam range properly.”

FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented, “The new large island suits the flow of the kitchen better. Now there are many ways to get around.

The black granite countertops are a favorite also.

I shopped all over Indy to see all of my granite options. I knew I would know what I wanted when I saw it. I like the reflection it gives off without being overwhelmingly shiny. The island granite is great because you cannot see the water spots and crumbs.” island and wet bar area includes cherry semicustom cabinetry with a dark espresso stain.

According to the owner, “The full-inset cabinets have very clean lines, and the hardware makes a statement. I have always wanted a warming drawer, and we use it a lot. I am learning how
