Amazing sights at Fishers Ice Festival

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com The first Fishers Ice Festival is a free event, enjoyable and well-attended.

Spectators are treated to a arts wide variety of professional ice sculptures.

“We had 15 precarved ice sculptures and three that were carved on site,” said Tony Elliot, Fishers director of parks and recreation. “For the inaugural event, we thought the Ice Festival was truly a success.”

Ice sculptures were arranged in a large circle in front of the amphitheater. Attendees could walk along the concrete path to view the sculptures as well as stop to study their favorites.

The icy works of art included an intricate sea horse, a majestic lion, a tropical fish, an elephant, a stern bulldog, a wolf braying at the moon and the much-talkedabout Duke Energy disco man.

Sheri Miller attended the Ice Festival with her daughter Anna. “This is our favorite one,” Sheri said, and pointed at the frosty disco dancer. She added that they were enjoying viewing all the sculptures.

Elliot said that 1,500 to 2,000 people attended the festival. “The event wouldn’t have been such a success without our 14 ice sculpture sponsors and numerous volunteers,” he said. “We had great support from our partners at the Fishers Public Library, Fishers Police and Fire departments, Earth Fare and Sun King Brewing.”

Other activities were available; Serendipity Mobile Catering was parked nearby and Sun King had an adults-only beverage area. There was also a popular kids’ activity tent. Children could do crafts, play an ice-fishing game and build banana snowmen. Indiana Ice Studio, Inc. demonstrated how to carve a thick block of ice with a small chainsaw.

Elliot said the Fishers Ice Festival will be an annual event. “January is typically a time of year when outdoor events are few and far between, so we see the ice festival as a unique chance to get outdoors, break cabin fever and check out some incredible sculptures,” he said. “We are already planning how to grow and improve this event for January 2015.”

Kudos to Town of Fishers Commentary by Larry Lannan Big snowfall totals and subzero temperatures are more than an inconvenience; they can endanger your health. Jan. 6 government and 7 tested some Fishers residents, including my family.

With the wind howling and deep snow everywhere, the biggest fear was losing your electricity. We lost ours on the evening of Jan. 6. After calling the Duke Energy phone line, we learned that the projected time for restoring power was about 11 p.m.

We had to decide whether to stay home and ride it out or find somewhere else to stay. We opted to visit a friend who still had power.

We were thankful for the job the Town of Fishers did clearing the roads. They weren’t perfect, but were as good as we could have expected under the weather conditions. We made it to our friend’s home safely.

A little more than an hour later, I checked Duke Energy’s phone line again and discovered our power had already been restored. We made it back home, very thankful we had electricity back so quickly.

Many other Fishers families were not as fortunate. Many went without power for many more hours.

Several organizations and people in them were key to getting Fishers through the rough

weather. The first ones to recognize are the Duke Energy employees tasked with working under intolerable conditions in the freezing cold and continuing their work to bring electricity back to homes without it.

There were the crews working the streets for the town. Keeping the roads as clear as possible under the weather conditions enabled Duke’s workers to move around and fix the problems.

They also kept the roads clear enough for my family to seek shelter with a friend once our power was gone.

The Red Cross was instrumental in opening warming shelters in Fishers and Noblesville during the crisis. Several government agencies helped the Red Cross ensure that those who had lost power were not put into a dangerous situation.

I was a news reporter during the blizzard of 1978. The 2014 storm wasn’t quite as bad as that one, but it was very close. I believe we are better prepared for such storms now than we were in 1978.

A group of people is tasked with helping when severe winter weather hits our area. My thanks go out to all of them.

Weingardt was elected to the Fishers Town Council in 2011 and has served as council president for the past year.

“I am excited to announce my candidacy for Fishers’ first city council race,” Weingardt said. “I have been honored to serve my constituents over the past two years on the town council and look forward Weingardt to continuing conservative leadership on the council by promoting economic development and growth and continuing to make Fishers a great place to live, work and play. This is a time unlike any other in the history of our community and I look forward to being part of it.”

Under Weingardt’s leadership, several projects have been completed, including the Nickel Plate District, which has helped to reinvigorate downtown Fishers and has brought projects and events to the community. Weingardt has also been a proponent of the new interchange that will be built at 106th Street and I-69, which will help relieve congestion and open up land for more business opportunities.

While serving on the town council, Weingardt voted for the creation of Launch Fishers, an entrepreneurial workspace dedicated to people wanting to start and grow their own business.

As a principal partner at Peachin, Schwartz & Weingardt, Weingardt knows firsthand what it takes to create and maintain a successful business. Weingardt’s leadership and private sector experience have cultivated an atmosphere that is ideal for entrepreneurs in Fishers.

Weingardt, 52, has lived in Fishers with his wife, Tina, and three children, Ashley (husband Chris), Abby and John R., for the past 21 years. He is an active member of Geist Christian Church and is currently the treasurer of the Fishers Police Foundation. He is the former treasurer and secretary of the Little Red Door and the former treasurer of the Fishers Soccer Club and HSE School Foundation.

In his spare time, he enjoys auto racing, golf and spending time with his family.

Coble wants to inspire and engage citizens

“We live in a great community and the best is yet to come for Fishers as it transforms from a town to a city,” Cecilia Coble said.

Coble

If elected as a council member, Coble, 44, said she will use her passion, leadership skills and common-sense principals to represent the citizens, families and businesses that are “the heart of Fishers.”

Coble and Mike, her husband of nearly 20 years, have two school-aged daughters, one with special needs. She earned her law degree at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis. Coble volunteers for a number of philanthropic organizations, including the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities and the Town of Fishers – ADA Advisory Taskforce. In addition, she has served as the Indiana Coordinator for the Indiana Chapter of Talk About Curing Autism. Coble is a member of the Christamore House Guild and is a board member of the Bev Hartig Huntington’s Disease Foundation.

“I have tremendous experience working with budgets and know how to generate revenue through private and corporate sponsorships,” she said. “I have helped to raise a considerable amount of money for these organizations. In addition, my law degree and my previous work experience in Government Relations for Bank One will serve me well. I am a critical thinker and I approach problems and issues with commonsense solutions.”

Coble also said she desires to be the community voice of Fishers and wants to serve its citizens.

“I want to inspire and engage the citizens of Fishers to share their voice, their values and their vision for Fishers,” she said. “I believe in being accountable and accessible to the constituents, so starting throughout my campaign, I will be initiating ‘Coffee with Coble’ around the Fishers community. This will allow me to get to know the citizens and to learn what is on their minds as we begin to form a stronger sense of place.”

If elected, Coble said she wants to continue to advance the quality of life for all citizens of Fishers by promoting long-term sustainable economic growth and infrastructure, and maintaining the highest standards in public safety.

“I want to work closely with city leaders and the citizens to establish a strong positive identity for Fishers with a long-term vision for the future,” she said.

Moeller ‘passionate about community’

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to serve the community of Fishers and represent the residents and businesses in the north central district,” Moeller said. “I believe my background and experiences will help ensure that our city will continue to be built on sound, fiscal principles that will attract businesses and investments Moeller from all corners of Indiana.”

“I’m running because I’m passionate about our community and I believe that each of us in some way should give back to ensure we remain a great community for decades to come,” he said.

“We have a 1-year-old daughter and I want her to be able to grow up in a city that is friendly and safe and has great schools and, when it’s time, opportunities to live and work.”

Moeller said he believes his academic (Bachelor’s degree in finance and economics and master’s degree in business administration) and professional background provides him with a skill set that is essential as a member of the council.

Moeller, 33, is a member of the Fishers Chamber of Commerce Advocacy Council and Fishers Redevelopment Commission and has completed the Town Government Academy.

“I would be one of the younger council members and that will allow me to make critical decisions with a long-term perspective,” Moeller said.

“It’s also essential to bridge the gap between those moving toward retirement and those seeking to call Fishers home to raise their family.”

Moeller said his goals include ensuring the town maintains sound fiscal principles as it transitions into a city and creating and maintaining existing partnerships with the state, county and neighboring municipalities that produce efficiencies and provide long-term benefits to taxpayers.

He said that, along with the mayor and other members of the council, he wants to develop a proactive economic development plan that is both comprehensive and reflective of the community’s skills and expertise.

“I believe this plan should include entrepreneurs, expansion and retention of current businesses, and relocation of businesses from other parts of the state/nation,” Moeller said.

Purvis to ‘listen to the people of Fishers’

Purvis, 62, a practicing attorney for 37 years, has lived in Fishers for 10 years and is a father and grandfather. A native of north-central Indiana, he earned a Bachelor’s. degree in political science from Ball State University and graduated from the Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis.

As the founding chair of Purvis CityYes, Purvis assisted in paving the way for Fishers to become a city. His idea for this journey began in 2007.

Purvis is active in the Geist Kiwanis Club as a charter member and is starting his eighth term on the board of the Sandstone Homeowners Association. He is a past president of the Hamilton County Democratic Club and is a 2013 graduate of the Fishers Town Government Academy. He was also a member of the original City-Town Study Committee.

Purvis said he seeks to become the first genuine outsider elected to office in Fishers.

“I seek a more open, diverse and transparent government in Fishers,” Purvis said. “Having all

local offices held by just one party is not healthy.

It leads to an ‘echo chamber’ effect, where likeminded people talk only to one another, but not to others with different viewpoints. I would be immune to the pressure on dissenting council members to conform.”

Purvis said he will listen to, and be responsible to, the people of Fishers.

“I would be willing to sit down and talk with you about issues, such as my concern about overuse of TIF districts and my opposition to others of varying political beliefs and other issues,” he said. “Please let me know what other questions you have.”

Block believes in ‘continued responsible development’

Having lived and raised a family in Fishers for more than 20 years, Block said he envisions Fishers taking the next steps to become a dynamic, next-generation city with increased opportunities for all ages.

“I have been active in supporting Fishers’ growth and development to date, and want to continue to plan responsibly for the future of our new city.

Block With three of our four children in college, my wife, Betsy, and I both hope that they will decide to make Fishers their long-term home,” he said. “I am interested in working to enhance our city so that they — and their children — will enjoy Fishers even more than we have.”

Block, 53, said he believes in continued responsible development in the Fishers downtown and Nickel Plate areas to build a strong central business district. He added that he supports the tech incubator initiative, Launch Fishers, and would like to replicate its success within other businesses and industries. Recognizing the importance of Fishers’ excellent school system in attracting residential growth, Block said he plans to ensure Fishers’ schools have the support necessary to remain high-performing and highly ranked.

He said he also wants to create venues to serve the families of Fishers and make the city a community of choice for all ages.

Block serves as the current president of the Fishers Town Hall Building Corporation, which handles municipal building lease transactions, and served on the Hamilton Southeastern SPORTS board for five years and as President of HSE SPORTS for three years. President and owner of Paragon Realty commercial real estate for more than 20 years, Block said he believes he can add value to Fishers with his experience in land planning, business partnering and financial and tax matters.

“Collaboration and strategic planning are needed now more than ever,” he said. “By working closely with other fellow council members, I want to continue the innovation that has begun and develop creative planning solutions to ensure Fishers evolves into an even stronger city with opportunities for all of its citizens.”

Mia’s strength

Mia Carter, 12, is a seventh-grader at Fishers Junior High School. Her life changed on Thanksgiving morning; she has been diagnosed with spinal arteriovenous malformation, an abnormal tangle of blood vessels on, in or near the spinal cord. (Submitted photo)

Local family copes with child’s rare diagnosis

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com

Like many girls her age, 12-year-old Mia Carter was an active, happy, independent child who enjoys school, her friends, running, swimming and biking.

The seventh-grader at Fishers Junior High cover story School also liked doing crafts, writing stories and baking, and was known for making young children laugh as she pushed them around on their toys.

On Thanksgiving morning, Mia’s entire life changed in a matter of minutes. She woke up screaming in pain and called out to her mother, Isabel, who grabbed some Advil to soothe her daughter’s back pain. Mia, never one to ask to see a doctor, surprised Isabel by demanding to go to a hospital.

In the few minutes it took Isabel to explain to Mia’s sister what was going on and prepare to leave, Mia had already collapsed on her way down the stairs, unable to walk.

The diagnosis

“I asked Mia, ‘What do you mean you can’t walk?’” Isabel said.

“When I’m at the doctor’s with my kids, everything’s always fine.”

Upon arrival at the emergency room, Mia had an MRI performed, which showed a blood clot pressing on her spinal cord, causing paralysis from the chest down. Mia was immediately transferred to Peyton Manning’s Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent, where a three-and-a-half hour surgery was performed to remove the clot.

After surgery, the diagnosis came in: Mia had spinal arteriovenous malformation, an abnormal tangle of blood vessels on, in or near the spinal cord. In a spinal AVM, blood passes directly from

the arteries to the veins, bypassing the capillaries. This blood flow disruption causes cells in the spinal tissues to deteriorate or die.

“There was nothing she did to cause this condition,” Isabel said.

“She was born with it. The malformation can occur in any part of the body; hers happened in the neck.”

Mia underwent a second surgery to stabilize her neck, which was successful. A few weeks later, she was well enough to move out of intensive care. However, she still needed intense physical therapy and was transferred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where her needs could best be met.

Regaining strength

Although Mia remains paralyzed in both legs and her right diaphragm, physical therapists at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital have been working with her during the past month. Her upper body strength has improved, but she must use a bi-pap machine to help her breathe at night because her lungs are partially collapsed and she needs ongoing breathing treatments.

After a physical therapy session several weeks ago, Mia’s therapist asked if she could wheel herself down a hallway. Though Mia replied that her arms hurt and she did not want to attempt to roll her wheelchair, Isabel decided to wait outside the hospital room and told her daughter she had all day to wait for Mia when she was ready to try.

“I sat and she rolled herself down the hallway,” Isabel said. “She’s a strong person; when she says she’ll do something, she’ll do it.”

Mia can now feed herself, pull a shirt over her head and even braid her long hair. “She is willing to go on,” Isabel said.

How to help – Cynthia Neff, a friend of the Carter family, has set up a web page for donations toward the family’s growing medical expenses. Any amount is appreciated. For more information, please visit http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/ mia-strong-/119425.

Coming home

“Almost immediately after Mia had surgery (before being transferred to Cincinnati), her first words were, ‘Can I go to school Monday?’” Isabel said.

Mia is scheduled to arrive home Jan. 31. Her mother and two siblings, Dominique, 15, a student at Fishers High School, and Joaquin, 8, a student at Cumberland Road Elementary School, are eager for her return, as are Mia’s friends. In the meantime, Isabel has a lot to do to prepare for Mia’s return. The family is currently living at Isabel’s sister’s home, which is not wheelchair-accessible. Isabel is currently working part-time and will need to ensure that Mia’s needs are met when she returns.

“Isabel’s immediate needs include a home for her and her three children and a wheelchair-accessible vehicle/van,” said Cynthia Neff, a friend of the Carter family. “In her current situation, finding and affording a home are going to be extremely difficult. We are hoping to raise enough funds to help make this possible. A ranchstyle home, preferably with three or four bedrooms and a basement, would be ideal.”

Once a house is found, according to Neff, help is needed for necessary modifications such as wider doorways, an accessible bathroom/shower, wheelchair-friendly flooring and ramps.

In addition, the family will need help with moving expenses or a moving company willing to donate services.

Isabel, originally from California, said she has received much support from the community, from cards and visits to Mia from her friends and those from the church the family attends, teachers and ER physicians, to help from her kids’ schools and neighbors in making sure all her kids received a happy Christmas.

“I think things happened for a reason; had I not moved here I wouldn’t have the support I have,” she said. “Things work out; it’s just getting there, it’s a tough road. (The community) support makes the road a little less bumpy.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP

FROM THE EDITOR Pay it forward

Fishers Advantage works its magic The Fishers Advantage strikes again – in a very good way, we believe. The economic development initiative’s work has led Fishers’ town council to approve two resolutions, one paving the way for Colorado-based bioluminescent technology company Vox Lumen to relocate its headquarters to Fishers and another solidifying a five-year lease extension with OfficeWorks. Spearheaded by the Fishers Advantage, the agreements bring more than a combined $12.5 million in investment to Fishers. The Fishers Redevelopment Commission and the Economic Development Commission must approve the deals at meetings this month. We urge both to do so. We’re fans of the Fishers Advantage, which has recruited 1,250 jobs and retained 400 others in a little more than two years.

••• We’re heavily inclined to agree with Dan Drexler, the Indiana state chairman of the Libertarian Party, who characterized Gov. Mike Pence’s State of the State speech last week as “nothing surprising.” We can’t (or won’t) disagree with his assessment that the speech was light on details, and we were curious about the employment numbers Pence cited because he failed to benchmark them against the rest of the nation. We give Pence high marks for his comments on school choice, because we believe it is a parent’s right to have a dominant voice in the education of his or her child. Overall, though, the speech was incredibly bland to us. We don’t know the governor, but we find little to be overly enthused about with this administration. Of course, we were spoiled by the tenure of former Gov. Mitch Daniels (who should have run for president, but that’s an old argument now), which was marked by swiftness, fiscal prowess and overall decisiveness. It’s early, and there still is time to impress, not that the good governor is losing a wink of sleep over our take.

Beauty sleeping Commentary by Terry Anker A favored cliché among the live-life-to-thefullest set – I’ll sleep when I’m dead – has always amused me. Yet my view has likewise been long conflicted. Surely, the time required to restore our corporal selves could be used in more productive endeavors. Napoleon claims to have slept very little. Edison, da Vinci, Jefferson and even Tesla are the same. Did the extra hours add up to their extra edge? Perhaps, but is sleep only about physical recovery?

Sleep also feels good. It rewards a full day with an intentional end. It clears the mind and breaks through intellectual dead-ends even as it allows for vivid dreams and boundless imagination. Now that our boys are older, we have been blessed with the occasional lazy Saturday morning – the likes of which we haven’t really experienced since college. You know the type – waking up about the regular time to the sound of falling rain. After a quick glance at the alarm, with the momentary

flash that a deadline is being missed, we realize that the bell did not sound because it needn’t. This is one of those days without the farmer’s market, or a football game, or any of a litany of the sleepdepriving irritations of modern life. Nothing is on the calendar. The family is still asleep. The room is cool and the rain is rhythmic.

So is this a day for the productivity of Napoleon or the whimsy of Sleeping Beauty? If time is at a premium, then is a long and restful sleep an indulgent extravagance, or even a sin? Or, are we fooling ourselves to forgo the stolen moments?

Are 12 hours without sleep no more productive than eight hours of toil after a good night’s rest?

Sleep might not make me pretty, but it does make me happy.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “What anxiety and hope actually have in common is a sense of what is possible.

In anxiety we anticipate possible danger.

In hope we anticipate possible deliverance.”

Jürgen Moltmann

Ushers serving with Northview Church, which has campuses in Fishers, Carmel and West Lafayette, surprised their attendees recently by passing envelopes with money in them, from $10 to $50, to use at their disposal.

A total of $83,000 among all three campuses was passed out to attendees.

Northview Church’s Lead Pastor Steve Poe instructed attendees to pray about what to do with the cash and pay it forward for the good.

When I learned of this amazing gesture, my mind immediately went to those in need who are going through challenges they never would have expected and could desperately benefit from this kind of support. Good people like Isabel and Mia Carter, a mother and daughter who live in Fishers.

On Thanksgiving Day, Mia, a 12-year-old energetic girl with a bright smile who attends Fishers Junior High School, suddenly collapsed in her home from back pain and couldn’t walk.

An MRI showed a blood clot pressing on her spinal cord, causing paralysis from the chest down. Mia was diagnosed with spinal arteriovenous malformation, an abnormal tangle of blood vessels on, in or near the spinal cord. In a spinal AVM, blood passes from the arteries to the veins, bypassing the capillaries. This blood flow disruption causes cells in the spinal tissues to deteriorate or die.

Mia is now in Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where she is receiving physical therapy. She is slowly regaining strength in her arms, however, it is unknown if she will be able to walk.

Mia is scheduled to return home at the end of January. She will need access to a wheelchair accessible home and van, around-the-clock care, and help paying for her medical expenses. Her mother, Isabel, is working part time.

Isabel’s good friend, Cynthia Neff, has created a web site for those who feel led to help with Mia’s expenses: www.youcaring.com/ medical-fundraiser/mia-strong-/119425.

Take a moment to think of how many families just like the Carters that could benefit from your help. How many churches that could follow Northview’s example, how many attendees that could provide a financial miracle for someone in need? Well done, Northview!

Actions speak louder than words Commentary by Danielle Wilson With all of the holidays and inclement weather over the past month, my husband Doo and I have spent a lot of time together humor in close quarters. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but the proximity does make me wonder how we’ve made it this far without offing each other. I say that with a bit of snark and a ton of love, but honestly, I think someone up there was drinking the day he/she decided to make us soul mates.

Take our “love languages,” for example. These are the ways people communicate and give and receive love to and from others. There are five total – gift giving, physical touch, quality time, words of affirmation and acts of service.

I am without question an Acts of Service girl.

You wanna demonstrate your love? Vacuum. I couldn’t care less if Doo brings me flowers or tells me I’m beautiful, and I definitely don’t want to spend all of my free time with him. (Mama needs her cave!) I also have major personal space issues, enough so that I am truly uncomfortable giving and receiving hugs, even from my own mom. And yet, whom did Fate decide to make my lifelong partner? A Physical Touch guy.

Doo knows I love him when I give him back rubs, hold his hand and, choke, hug him. While scrubbing toilets and folding laundry totally do it for me (“I love the smell of Clorox in the morning!”), Doo needs physical affection to feel loved.

To compound matters, I am hyper-organized, punctual and admittedly, a tad bit controlling, while Doo is spontaneous, carefree and a pinch A.D.D. So even when he is trying to express his love, he is often derailed. Like the other day when he decided the basement storage room just had to be cleaned out. Normally, this would have been music to my ears, except that two weeks later, the finished part of the basement is still filled with tubs of Barbies, books, old weightlifting equipment, Easter decorations and miscellaneous vases. I really do NOT feel like giving out hugs at this moment.

But opposites do attract, and I can’t imagine anyone else I’d rather be on this journey with. I guess the trick is to appreciate your partner for who he is, not for who you want him to be. Doo and I don’t always speak the same language, especially when trapped inside for days at a time with four children, and unfortunately, there’s no Rosetta Stone that’ll make it easier, but we’ll keep trying. So to whomever is up there having a laugh at our expense, I say, “Thank you. You’ve certainly made this marriage an interesting adventure!” Peace out.

Open, says me

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Everything I bought my wife for Christmas had to be returned. Wrong size, wrong color, too expensive, too cheap. You name it, humor I blew it. On the other hand, I am keeping everything she got for me.

Not because my wife has such exquisite taste (although she does), but because I totally destroyed the boxes when I opened the gifts.

Generally, I am not good at opening things.

The one exception is carryout pizza boxes. But closing the pizza boxes? No way.

Here are several things I have trouble with: OPENING A PACKAGE OF MEAT: Or cheese, or a bag of pretzels, or anything that says EASY OPEN or TEAR HERE. I usually tear NEAR THERE, which doesn’t cut it. Actually, that’s exactly what I end up having to do. I cut the bag with a pair of scissors and put everything in a Ziploc bag (which, by the way, I am not very good at closing, either).

OPENING REMARKS: At local charity events, I am often asked to make remarks to thank everyone for coming, for being so generous and in some cases for braving the bad weather. Over the years, this got kind of boring so I started making the closing remarks, instead. I say the exactly same things. But it’s too late to matter.

is the difference between my account number and my routing number? Yes, I know my favorite cartoon character right now, but will I remember it’s Donald Duck after two Bloody Marys?

OPENING MY FRONT DOOR: Usually, when we get home for the evening, I fiddle with the lock and my wife asks, “Are you sure that’s the right key?” Once when I took too much cold medicine by mistake, it wasn’t the wrong key; it was the wrong house.

OPENING MY MOUTH: Mark Twain said it was better to be quiet and thought to be stupid than to speak up and remove all doubt. It’s a shame I didn’t read any Mark Twain until I was 22 years old. I could have saved myself a lot of trouble when I was a kid.

OPENING THE DOOR FOR MY WIFE AT A RESTAURANT: Do I walk ahead and push the door open or linger behind and pull it back? Of course, it depends on which way the door opens — but I don’t know that until I get to the entrance. My wife always asks me why we eat at the same place so often. “Do you really like the food?” she inquires. No, but I remember which way the door swings.

Singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux will play Jan. 26 at the Palladium in Carmel in support of her new album “The Blue Room.” (submitted photo)

Madeleine Peyroux to bring silky vocals to Carmel

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

The only thing that matters is the song.

So says singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux, who will grace the Pallatheatre dium’s stage on Jan. 26.

Often referred to as one of the finest interpretative singers of the 21st century, Peyroux is touring in support of her sixth album, “The Blue Room,” an homage to Ray Charles’ seminal 1962 album, “Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music.”

Several of the songs on “The Blue Room” are covers from Charles’ album, including “You Don’t Know Me,” “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Born to Lose” and “Bye Bye Love.”

It also includes a delicate version of “Gentle on My Mind,” made famous by Glenn Campbell.

Peyroux, a native of Athens, Ga., left school at the tender age of 15 to join a touring jazz and blues band. At the time, someone gave her some Billie Holiday records and simply told her to “learn the songs.” And so she did.

The influence of Holiday’s languid, laid-back style is evident in Peyroux’s style today; her silky, chocolate vocals laze through notes and lyrics in a way that is at once relaxing and enticing.

“The Blue Room” is a marked departure from Peyroux’s previous albums. The style is simple and more austere; just a touch of country twang infused with jazz, blues and R&B stylings. In previous recordings, her voice has been

airier, dwelling in a higher register with a hint of a French accent sneaking through in many songs. “The Blue Room” finds Peyroux exploring the very depths of her lower register and finding a grit that was not there before.

Peyroux lived abroad for eight years; she currently resides in New York City. Although she has toured throughout the U.S. and played in world-class concert halls, this is her first Indiana appearance and she is very excited about coming to the Palladium.

“I have been so fortunate to perform on some amazing stages both here in the U.S. and internationally,” Peyroux said. “I have not yet had the opportunity to play at the Palladium but I am looking forward to being there and experiencing such an extraordinary concert hall.”

Peyroux will accompany herself on guitar, with musicians from “The Blue Room” lending support such as Jon Herington, guitar; Jim Beard, keyboards; Barak Mori, bass; Darren Beckett, drums and Sylvia D’Avanzo, first violin and concertmistress. D’Avanzo has engaged local players to round out the string quartet.

Peyroux has toured internationally since her first album in 1996. Just weeks after her Palladium concert she will tour throughout New Zealand, Australia and China before returning to the U.S. to perform in a Paul Simon tribute at Carnegie Hall.

And then it’s back across the pond for shows throughout Italy, France, Switzerland and Germany.

If you happen to be a fan of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Joni Mitchell, Ray Charles, Bonnie Raitt or Edith Piaf, you will undoubtedly enjoy the song stylings of Madeleine Peyroux in this rare Midwestern appearance.

CCP to present ‘Tribute

By Chris Bavender • editorial@youarecurrent.com Bernard Slade’s play “Tribute” is now showing at the Carmel Community Playhouse through Jan. 26.

It’s the story of Broadway theatre press agent Scotty Templeton, who has spent his life avoiding responsibility.

But after he is diagnosed with leukemia, he must reconcile with the people he loves. At top of the list is his estranged son Jud. Directed by Danny Russel, the cast features Neal Eggeson as Templeton; Matthew Shadday as Jud; Tom Doman as Lou Daniels, Templeton’s boss and best friend; Joyce Pendleton as Templeton’s ex-wife Maggie Stratton; Kaylis Dyer as Sally Haines; Kristen Wilson as Hilary; and Monica Joyner as Dr. Gladys Petrelli, Templeton’s oncologist.

“Carmel Community Players chose to do this show because the director, Danny Russel, proposed it to us as a play that would work well in our intimate setting, and would appeal to a broad audience,” said Rich Phipps, Carmel Com-

munity Playhouse president. “We think the audience will react with a mixture of laughter and sadness. It is difficult to say what’s larger in this play - laughs or lumps in the throat.”

Russel credits the cast’s dedication and collaborative spirit with making the show work.

“This has been an incredible cast to work with and our play is a literal valentine to the world of theatre,” Russel said. “This play will touch every bit of your emotions, and everyone can relate to the struggle between parent and son.”

The play debuted on Broadway in 1978 with Jack Lemmon in the role of Templeton and was brought to film in 1980 with Lemmon again playing that role.

“Tribute” • Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sundays Jan. 16 through 26 • Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace • 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd., Carmel • Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors 62 and older • For more information, call 815-9387 or visit www.carmelplayers.org.

It may be varicose veins

Commentary by Jeffery P. Schoonover

Restless Leg Syndrome affects as much as 15 percent of the general population and negatively impacts RLS their quality of life. Those with RLS experience irresistible urges to move their legs; a “creeping” feeling in their legs; persistent leg movement during sleep; or tingling, burning, aching or numbness in their legs. Symptoms of RLS are worse at night or during periods of relaxation, such as when a person is lying down during the day, and tend to improve with activity. The symptoms disrupt the sleep of not only RLS sufferers, but also their sleeping partners. The standard treatment for RLS is neurologic medication. Unfortunately, the available medications only relieve the symptoms; they do not cure the condition and must be taken long-term.

An often-overlooked cause of RLS is venous insufficiency, which several studies indicate that as many as 22 percent of those with RLS also have. Venous insufficiency, or varicose vein disease, means the blood vessels’ valves do not work properly and allow some blood to flow backward and pool in the legs, which can, but does not always, result in bulging veins and symptoms such

as pain, swelling, tiredness, redness or restlessness. Edema, or swelling, that occurs with venous disease often lessens at night, which is believed to somehow cause the “creeping” sensation described by patients with restless leg syndrome.

When restless legs occur with venous insufficiency, treating the varicose veins can significantly improve the RLS. A study published in the Journal of Phlebology reported that varicose vein treatment relieved RLS symptoms in 98 percent of patients with both RLS and venous disease, and 80 percent of those treated experienced long-term relief.

Anyone who suffers from the symptoms of RLS should be evaluated for venous insufficiency, typically with a diagnostic ultrasound assessment. If varicose vein disease is present, a course of endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), sometimes combined with sclerotherapy, offers the best opportunity for improving the symptoms of RLS and possibly eliminating the need for medication.

Drivers sought for patient shuttle editorial@youarecurrent.com

Indiana University Health North Hospital is seeking volunteer drivers for its patient shuttle that will begin operating in April. The shuttle, volunteering a covered eight-seat golf cart, will be used to transport hospital and Medical Office Building patients from the parking lot to the building entrances. Volunteers are needed to drive the shuttle Mondays through Fridays for three-hour shifts.

The patient shuttle program is the result of the first internal fundraising effort by the Office of Philanthropy, which was launched at IU Health North Hospital in July. IU Health North physicians and associates raised the funds internally to purchase the golf cart to provide the new patient transportation service. The selection of the Office of Philanthropy’s first initiative

was determined through feedback received from the hospital’s patient family advisory council.

“We are extremely excited to implement the patient shuttle service as our first philanthropy funded program,” stated Tracy Miller, director of the Office of Philanthropy for IU Health North, Saxony and Tipton Hospitals. “Philanthropy supports our hospital’s mission of improving the health and wellness of our patients, families and community. We believe this shuttle program will advance that mission for all visitors.”

Individuals interested in volunteering to drive the patient shuttle must be at least 25 years old and have a valid Indiana driver’s license. In addition to driving the shuttle, other hospital volunteer opportunities are available. To learn more or to begin the volunteer application process, contact volunteer coordinator Ann Sawyer at 688-2927 or asawyer@iuhealth.org.

DISPATCHES Surprising lung cancer facts – Although nine out of 10 cases of lung cancer result from smoking, a smaller percentage are caused by radon gas pollution and other chemical exposures such as uranium, arsenic, asbestos and air pollution. Other risk factors may involve a family history of lung cancer (even in nonsmokers). Also, people whose spouse smokes are 20 to 30 percent more likely to develop lung cancer than those married to nonsmokers. - www.webmd.com

How to boost happiness - Feeling down in the dumps this winter? Keep a gratitude journal every day, pay it forward with kindness, keep a wide circle of friends you see at least once a month, perform workouts that produce sweat, have more sex, get out in the sun for a few minutes a day before noon, choose antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications wisely (some have negative side effects), meditate and get a regular massage, which reduces depression by up to 73 percent. -www.cosmopolitan.com

Windshields vs. rearview mirrors Commentary by Adam Cmejla

Think back a year ago, when politicians in Washington were in the grip of one of their nowfamiliar “fiscal cliff” standoffs. planning As has become customary, the theater of brinksmanship kept everyone guessing until a last-minute resolution was reached.

“The Economist” magazine’s tone about 2013’s prospects was skeptical.

“Although investors are not as complacent as they were heading into 2000 or 2007, say, it is still hard to believe this will be a bumper year for returns,” said Buttonwood’s Jan. 5, 2013 column.

It’s easy to see from this example that many investors might have taken fright at the developments around the turn of the year and sought to trim their exposures to risky assets because of what media pundits were saying.

That would have been a shame because, as of early December 2013, many global equity markets were notching record-breaking years. As the year ended, plenty of gloomy stories still filled the newspapers — including some about ongoing speculation on what happens when the U.S. Federal Reserve begins tapering its monetary stimulus program.

This isn’t to say these stories are necessar-

ily incorrect. Most of them accurately reflect the sentiment prevailing at the time they were written and the uncertainty about the future.

But you can do little about that as an individual investor.

Investing is about what happens next. We don’t know what happens next, which is why we diversify.

Anyone who says he can tell you what is going to happen next is lying to you.

Making drastic allocation changes to a portfolio after the fact is akin to slamming the stable door after the horse has left. Bottom line: Are you looking through the windshield of opportunity or the rearview mirror of past performance?

And think about this: If any of the gurus who regularly appear on financial TV or in the newspaper really had a crystal-clear view of the future, why would he bother sharing it with the world?

It makes more sense to focus on what’s within your own control.

No more cash for stolen gold - Precious metal dealers, commonly referred to as “cash for gold” dealers, are now required to register annually with both the Indiana Secretary of State’s office and local law enforcement. “The new reporting requirements will help local law enforcement track stolen jewelry sold at cash for gold stores,” said Secretary Lawson. “Requiring these merchants to report the jewelry they acquire gives local law enforcement a new tool to find stolen jewelry before it is melted down and gone forever.”

Feds shut down medic-alert scam - Regulators have shut down a multimillion-dollar scam that they said duped seniors into turning over their credit card information in exchange for purportedly free medical-alert devices. The business blasted seniors across the U.S. and Canada with robocalls claiming that they were eligible to receive a free alert system purchased by a friend or relative. Once people agreed to receive the device, they were transferred to an operator who took their billing information and immediately began charging them for the service. Government officials said Monday that they received more than 66,000 complaints about the scam, which deliberately targeted the elderly.

The scam was not connected with any manufacturers of medical alert devices.

The makers of Life Alert had sued the business for using its “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” phrase on the robocalls. Federal Trade Commission officials said the business collected more than $13 million in commissions for selling the devices over two years, though it’s unclear how much money consumers actually lost. Many victims never received the equipment. SOURCE: MSN Money

Income-seeking investors don’t have to settle for yields - If you need to generate income, it’s entirely possible to get the best of both worlds: companies that pay steady dividends and deliver growth to boot. Here are three stocks that do just that: 1) CA Technologies is involved in a rapidly growing and necessary part of IT called data center infrastructure management. 2) CTC Media is a small-cap media company that has the backing of the Russian government due in part to its owner, Yury Kovalchuk’s, longtime friendship with President Vladimir Putin. 3) Tompkins Financial has shown profits, revenue and cash dividends for 59, 56 and 132 years, respectively, consecutively. The company has increased dividends for 24 straight years. TMP even skated through the financial crisis in 2008 and broke profit records, so no worries here when it comes to lending practices. SOURCE: MSN Money Healthcare plans attracting more older, less healthy people - People signing up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s federal and state marketplaces tend to be older and potentially less healthy, officials said Monday, a demographic mix that could cause premiums to rise in the future if the pattern persists. But officials expressed optimism that more young people will sign up in the months ahead. They said demand for insurance through the marketplaces was increasing sharply across all age groups and they said youth outreach will become more aggressive in the coming months.

Lucerne, Switzerland (Photo by Don Knebel)

‘A Bridge and a Tower in Lucerne’ Commentary by Don Knebel

Lucerne, Switzerland, is one of the most picturesque cities in a country known for picturesque cities. A medieval tower risTravel ing from the river is the country’s most photographed structure, a truss bridge spanning the river is the world’s oldest, and paintings hanging inside the bridge draw visitors from around the world. Ironically, all these idyllic images reflect Lucerne’s turbulent past.

Lucerne is located where Lake Lucerne, one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, flows into the Reuss River. In 1300, the town built a 112-foot tall octagonal tower in the river. Called Wasserturm (“Water Tower”), it was used as a torture chamber, likely for claimed heretics. Because the Water Tower was vulnerable to attack from the lake, in 1333 the city built a 600-foot long covered bridge crossing the river diagonally and connecting with the Water Tower. The “Kapellbrücke” (“Chapel Bridge”) is named for St. Peter’s Chapel at one end.

Initially formed around a monastery, Lucerne was the largest Swiss city to hold out against the Protestant Reformation that swept, sometimes violently, through Switzerland in the late 16th century. In the early 17th century, to advance

the cause of Catholicism, the city council paid an artist to paint religious and historical scenes on triangular-shaped pieces of wood, many containing a written message. Eventually 158 paintings, each about six feet wide and three feet high, were mounted in the interior roof space of the Chapel Bridge. In 1666, recognizing the city’s continued loyalty, the Jesuits began building a large church near the south end of the bridge, its baroque design and twin onion domes visually rejecting the austerity of Swiss Protestantism.

In 1993, fire destroyed much of the Chapel Bridge and more than 100 of its famous paintings. The bridge was meticulously restored and the surviving paintings remounted inside, some still showing fire damage.

When you visit Lucerne, photograph the Water Tower and walk inside the Chapel Bridge to admire its remaining paintings. Then take a relaxing boat trip on Lake Lucerne and be grateful that towers are no longer built for torture and cities no longer battle each other over religious doctrine.

Master bath adds large shower and washer/dryer

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing master bath: Located in the Wood Park neighborhood on the west side of Carmel, the home’s original blueprint for 1990s master bathroom improvement was dated and included a large soaking tub and small shower. “The room was just not functional for us,” stated the homeowner. “We had this huge tub we never used, and a washer and dryer located in the garage on the other side of the house. We decided to get rid of what we didn’t use and replace it with what we actually needed.”

Design ideas: The homeowners looked to modern Scandinavian design for inspiration. “We wanted the clean, modern lines of that design, but good-quality materials and craftsmanship.

We picked the sinks first, and they led the color scheme. Our designer helped us find the gray tile for the floor that tied into the sinks.”

Washer and dryer added: The large soaking tub was replaced with a washer and dryer to give the homeowners the functionality they needed. The new shower footprint was also enlarged.

Master bath details: To capture the modern feel, a semi-floating vanity was installed with Corian “Rain Cloud” countertops. Glass tile was placed inside the adjacent inset shelving. The modern styling was captured in the fixtures and

before & after

Final Results: In the end, the functionality of the new space won the homeowners’ hearts. “Our favorite part is having the washer and dryer nearby.

The rain showerhead is also a favorite.” Incorporating aging-in-place design with grab bars, as well as luxurious elements such as a heated towel rack and a fan with a timer, completed the project for the homeowners.

towel bars as well, which came in a brushed nickel to compliment the soft grays in the space.

A focal point in the shower was a must for the homeowners. “We had seen the onyx look in a shower and knew we wanted something like it in ours. True onyx was cost-prohibitive, but our designer found tile with the look of real onyx.”
