Local FFA supports scholarships

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com

The Hamilton Southeastern Future Farmers of America club held its annual donkey basketball event Feb. 1 at HSE High School. Local scholarship businesses fielded teams and they played several short “mini games” throughout the evening. Players could either ride the donkeys or walk with them but they had to be riding in order to pass and score. The animals were cared for by their trainer throughout the games.

This fun, family-friendly evening is one of the club’s biggest fundraisers and all the proceeds supported the Carrie Colglazier memorial scholarship fund.

“Carrie was an HSE student killed by a drunk driver,” said Wendy Tidd, vice president of the HSE FFA Booster Club. “She was very active in FFA, soccer, track. To receive the scholarship, a student must be in one of those activities and they must participate in our Colglazier work day event.”

The FFA kids also did a bake sale fundraiser at the donkey basketball game that will help fund a schol-

arship in the name of Joe Richards, an FFA alum who was killed in a car accident.

Donkey basketball not only raised funds, it was also a great way to spread awareness about FFA. “The kids look forward to this every year,” said Rich Bailey, Agriculture teacher at HSE and FFA advisor.

“Some of the kids in FFA now remember riding the donkeys at halftime when they came to this event as children. It’s such a great way to raise awareness in the community of the agriculture in this area,” Bailey continued.

Shelbi Tidd is the Fishers High School reporter for HSE FFA and the current first runner-up in the Purdue Collegiate FFA pageant. She also attended the donkey basketball games and talked about the benefits of FFA. “I want to encourage kids to join FFA,” Tidd said. “You definitely get leadership experience and you learn how to find your voice with FFA.” 80 kids participate in HSE FFA and they work hard to support the scholarships and their activities. The HSE FFA Booster Club will present its annual plant sale to raise money for FFA; the sale will be April 26 – May 10 at the HSE greenhouse.

DVD Review - Game of Thrones: Season 3 Say what you will about author George R.R. Martin and HBO’s adaptation of his epic fantasy series, but they’re willing to take big storytelling chances. That narrative brashness continues in season three, which sees the entire continent of Westeros split into different warring factions. It’s full of surprises and unexpected character development, with fan favorites brought low and the hissable Lannister clan seemingly triumphant. Read more at currentnightandday.com

Board changes

Columnist Vicky Earley writes that most people understand the basic concept of a focal point, but don’t understand how to use this critical design tool to create a fabulous room. Technically, a focal point is defined as the point at which all elements or aspects converge; the center of activity or attention. This leads to the question, just what should be the center of attention in a space? Read more at currentinwestfield.com

Trivia night raises funds for firefighers

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com What originally began as a fun trivia night among friends has grown into an annual event to help Hamilton County firefighters who have families with ongoing fundraising medical needs.

The fifth annual Firefighters Fathead Challenge was held Feb. 8 at Delaware Township Community Center in Fishers. The event, organized by the firefighters of Hamilton County Local #4416, is a fun night of trivia games for adults to give back to the men and women who serve our community that need help paying their children’s medical bills, travel expenses, medication or other specific needs.

The idea for the event began with Dave and Michelle Bobo. Dave is a Lieutenant at the Fishers Fire Dept. After attending a trivia game night, Michelle said she and her husband enjoyed the evening so much they decided to organize events at their house with friends on a regular basis.

“It caught on,” Michelle said. “We decided if we were going to continue this it had to be for a purpose.”

John Mehling, captain of Fishers Fire & Emergency Services, and his wife, Jenny, are a few of the Bobo’s family friends that attended the trivia games. The Mehlings have a 15-year-old son, Noah, who has Hunters Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that there is treatment for, but no cure.

“We are lucky to have our son and pray daily for an answer to come,” Mehling said. Through the Fathead Challenge, money has been donated to the MPS Society to research a cure. Each of these organizers, donors, players and supporters have a direct investment in the cure to save Noah.

This year, there were 62 community businesses that donated raffle prizes. A rough estimate of $10,000 was donated as well, according to Michelle.

The funds will also be helping firefighter Paul Ashby and his wife, Lisa. Their son, Caleb, 5, was born with Down Syndrome and club feet, which he needs ongoing surgeries for.

“We’ve been able to pay for additional surgeries and do more for him with additional cost,” Paul said. “As a parent you do everything you can for your child. The money helps.”

Downtown development growth

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers continues to grow as two downtown development projects are set to happen; Ossip Optometry is locating to development the Crosspoint area and will eventually create 58 new jobs. A mixed use-project is planned for the former KFC building on 116th Street. Recreation opportunities continue to expand, too, as Fishers will construct a community building at Saxony beach.

According to the Fishers Town Council, Ossip will move its headquarters to 9795 Crosspoint Business Park and also renovate property at 7684 Crosspoint Commons into an optometry center that will serve as the company’s flagship store.

“It’s terrific for Fishers to get an active tenant that brings jobs, and we’re very excited about that,” said Fishers Town Council Vice President Pete Peterson.

The second planned project involves the development of a mixed-use office building in the area of 116th Street and Lantern Road. According to Peterson, Community Health will lease a portion of the building and the developer is hoping to secure a “white linen” restaurant tenant.

“We’re always hoping to get more restaurants

in Fishers; citizens are always looking for some variety of restaurants,” Peterson said.

A parking garage is also planned for the site that the public will be able to use for nighttime Nickel Plate Amphitheater events and other downtown Fishers entertainment and dining opportunities.

The Town of Fishers will assume responsibility of managing the Saxony Beach area which is located at Pennington Road in the Saxony development off Olio Road. Peterson said that the arrangement is beneficial because it involves managing parks, which is one of the things Fishers does best. Plans are in the works to construct a community building called Saxony Hall on the site.

“We are excited to work with the Town of Fishers in building Saxony Hall,” said Richard Arnos, President of Republic Development, real estate developer of Saxony. “Creating new opportunities in partnership with Fishers will be a benefit to those who live in and around Saxony and the entire town.”

Fishers continues to grow its downtown and attract new businesses, as well as strives to expand the Parks and Recreation offerings. “And there is more to come; it is an exciting time to be in Fishers,” Peterson said.

(Submitted photos) Lilah Poer was so eager to meet her parents and four siblings that she couldn’t wait to get to the hospital before being born. The baby, now 1 month old, was delivered by Fishers firefighters and paramedics within minutes of their arrival at the family’s house. Lilah was born to Patrick and Amy Poer during the early morning of Jan. 7, one of the coldest nights in Indiana history. Firefighters arrived expecting to place the expectant mother on the cot and transport her to the hospital, however, Lilah had other plans. She was born on a mattress in the upstairs of the family’s home before being taken to Community Hospital North with her new mother by ambulance.

Fishers Chamber announces awards news@currentinfishers.com The Fishers Chamber of Commerce recently presented the 12th annual Pillar Awards celebrating business excellence Achievement at the FORUM Conference Center.

This year’s awards were presented by FORUM Credit Union and sponsored by BMO Harris Bank, Duke Energy, IU Health Saxony Hospital, Medium Cool Pictures and STARMedia. The winners were Peterson’s Restaurant for Business of the Year, Complete Office Supply for Small Business of the Year, Living With Intention for Entrepreneurial Spirit, Josh Martin with Incrediplex for Employee of the Year and Fritz Kruetzinger from Fritz in Fishers for Lifetime Achievement Award.

“I think our success has come from paying attention to the important details like buying and preparing the top food available, designing the best ambiance and providing a dedicated staff that really wants to take good care of our customers,” said Joe Peterson, owner-operator of Peterson’s Restaurant.

Peterson’s will be celebrating its 15th anniversary at the end of March.

Alan Bird, president of Complete Office Supply, said his company succeeds through one simple formula: putting others first.

“We realized early on that if you help other people succeed (and measure that success the way they want success measured) then those people will help you succeed. We impart to all of our associates at Complete Office Supply the notion that service to our clients and our vendor partners is paramount to our success,” Bird said.

Linda Elliott, co-owner of Living With Intention, said she and her husband, co-owner Stephen Elliott, work really hard and believe in what they do for their mental health/nutritional health counseling service.

“We believe strongly that many chronic illnesses are due to our diet, the amount of processed food we eat,” she said. “We’re a throwback to the way things were done 50 to 75 years ago with the science we already have.”

The event, led by Chamber Board Chair Kurt Meyer of Baseline, Inc., honored not only the winners, but also the top three nominees in each category. Business of the Year: Peterson’s Restaurant, PNC Bank and SkyZone Indoor Trampoline Park; Small Business of the Year: Complete Office Supply, Force Barbell and Tire Central and Service; Entrepreneurial Spirit: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Salon, Living With Intention, Inc. and ProShred; and Employee of the Year: Amanda Rhoads from Stratosphere Quality, Josh Martin from Incrediplex and Sherri Beauregard from Accurate Tax Management.

Something to celebrate

Commentary by Heather Kestian

Indiana’s only 50 TOP Hospital for Heart Care.

“Dr. Go Red” Nancy Branyas, MD Cardiologist

St.Vincent Heart Center of Indiana has been named one of the

I love birthdays. I have always felt that there was something very special about a birthday.

There is hope for another year plain talk of blessings, challenges and growth. Although not every year of life is easy, birthdays give us reason to believe the next year could be better.

After giving birth to two little people, I see more meaning in birthdays. I might never hear someone take his or her first breath or scream his or her first cry, but I do have the opportunity to celebrate the anniversary of the two very special little people I helped create. And believe me, we do celebrate in our family. After six years, I realized I have passed my love of birthdays on to my oldest.

Said six-year-old has been planning his birthday party for approximately three months. He is keenly aware of his half birthday, and I think he started to come up with ideas then, but held off sharing with me until November. One afternoon, he shared with me that he wanted a movie theater birthday party. Sure — kids sitting in the dark watching a movie for an hour and a half.

Awesome! Where do I sign them up?

Then he gave me the list of people. Good lord,

my little social butterfly. Let’s trim this down, shall we?

About two weeks before his birthday, he decided it was going to be a week-long affair. His sixth year of life would start with a sleepover with his best friend. We would bake two cakes because his best friend loves chocolate cake, but my son prefers vanilla (how thoughtful, right?).

Then they would fall asleep while watching movies. The next week would be the birthday party with his 10 closest friends. Good gravy, child, what have I done?

Suffice it to say, I have created a birthday monster. Looking back on these six years, I see that I am not sure I would have it any other way.

After all, the day of his birth forever changed my perspective on life. It gave me the opportunity to be a mom, and to watch someone else count his blessings, rise above challenges and grow into a wonderful young person. I get to watch him share his hopes and dreams, year after year — and that truly is something to celebrate.

Candidates focus on development Commentary by Larry Lannan

Now that we know the candidates’ names in the first Fishers city election, it is becoming clear that economic development economy will be one of the major issues.

Everyone says he is in favor of economic development. The controversy arises when we talk about how it should be done.

The Fishers town council and the town staff have been proactive in their efforts to spur development in downtown Fishers. Some of the results are visible now and others will be evident fairly soon.

The Depot at Nickel Plate construction site next to the post office is the most obvious sign.

Once complete, it will be a mixed-use building featuring apartments with retail and restaurant space, along with a parking garage. Meyer Najem will be moving into a new structure soon to be under construction across the railroad tracks from the library on Lantern Road. The old Kentucky Fried Chicken location on 116th Street near Maple Street downtown is slated to be a mixeduse building featuring office and retail space with a parking garage.

All these projects feature tax increment financing and a donation of land from the town.

Explaining TIF in a few words is not easy, but in general, bonds issued for the building construction are paid off with the property tax revenue generated by the project.

Some have been critical of using TIF financ-

ing and government land contributions to foster development in downtown Fishers. Those supporting this strategy say that in today’s world, municipalities must be creative to develop economically, especially when encouraging a busy, livable downtown destination.

The town has also purchased private property between the shopping center at Lantern Road and 116th Street and the Fishers town hall complex to allow construction of a new road connecting Lantern Road and the town hall.

Here are some questions voters will need to ponder when considering candidates they plan to support in the upcoming city election.

Should the new City of Fishers actively encourage development of a downtown area with a specific type of development in mind? Is it wise policy to develop the downtown if other parts of the city need development attention? To what extent should TIF financing, tax abatements and public land donations be used to promote commercial development?

These are just a few of the questions to hash out before the primary election on May 6. Now is the time to consider how you want Fishers developed and where the candidates stand.

Medical facility practices holistic approach

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com Conventional medical practices these days often involve a long wait in a doctor’s office, followed by a rushed appointcover story ment and several hurriedly written prescriptions.

Dr. Stephen Elliott was growing frustrated by this. A family practitioner, he became increasingly bothered by writing more prescriptions for increasing chronic problems in patients.

“In the conventional model, I always had to compromise what I believed was in the patient’s best interest with what their particular insurance company and/or their particular managedcare program would allow,” he said. “And I never had the time to actually get at the root cause of my patients’ problems. You can’t practice medicine in 10 or 15 minute appointments. It’s just not possible. It’s just not good care.”

Elliott decided to pursue his growing desire to practice functional medicine. In 2008, he and his wife Linda, a licensed mental health counselor, opened Living With Intention, Inc., a private practice in Fishers.

Functional medicine What’s original about Living With Intention is the fact that the practice supports functional medicine: understanding the root cause behind a diagnoses.

“It’s not a matter of what the diagnosis is, but rather why the diagnosis is,” Elliott said.

“Most often this involves a return to basic science. The issue is this: Given a system that once

upon a time was functioning well, where’s the dysfunction? Where have things broken down?

What’s the true root cause of the problem – on a physiological, biochemical, nutritional, hormonal, genetic, and/or metabolic level?

“And then, once we’ve identified the dysfunction, our primary objective is to fix it as naturally as possible, without automatically reaching for the prescription pad. That’s our goal. It’s that simple.”

One of Elliott’s patients, a 16-year-old, had been suffering from chronic constipation and abdominal pain since he was 2. For years, the teenager had also been suffering from rashes, and was constantly clearing his throat and wheezing when he ran. His mother had taken him to doctors and specialists for tests, scopes, and scans. The boy took one medication after

another. Nothing worked.

The patient saw Dr. Elliott, who reviewed the teen’s medical records and suggested some “outside the box,” testing. Elliott recommended a few supplements and a major diet change, but no prescriptions.

“Six months later, his life was transformed,” Elliott said. “Abdominal pain? Gone. Constipation?

Resolved. Where’s that plunger now? Don’t know.

How’s the breathing, the cough, the wheezing?

Virtually non-existent.

“Keep in mind, that’s only a story. It’s not a study. It’s not evidence of anything. We need to be careful and recognize that.”

Perhaps not, but for that young man and his family, it was evidence enough. They were convinced functional medicine had something to offer.

Healing from within Julie Schavey is another patient that swears by the office’s unconventional practices.

“Instead of saying, ‘here’s a few pills (for anxiety)’ they are interested in finding the root of the problem. That’s something that’s very important to me,” she said.

A victim of abuse as a child, Schavey sought help for healing as an adult. She had seen one therapist after another. Yet she was still struggling: at work, with relationships, and completing her goals in life.

“More than seven years ago, I definitely would not say my life was a shining example of anything,” she said.

Schavey decided to make an appointment with Linda Elliott and never saw a different

therapist again.

“Linda gave time I needed to build trust with her so I could share where I came from and deal with (my problems) in a constructive way,” Schavey said. “In fact, I remember there were weeks where I was just so challenged by her.

Linda would say ‘Yeah, that’s what happened (as a child), but this is what’s happening right now.

You weren’t in control then but you are now and have certain responsibilities.”

Schavey appreciated Linda’s compassionate nature and raw honesty, and eventually built healthy relationships, received her bachelor’s degree and has been married for three years.

The journey continues The Elliotts have recently moved their facility to 11979 Fishers Crossing Drive, and are bringing additional counselors on board with special expertise in child and adolescent therapy. They have also added a nutritionist, a massage therapist and hope to offer yoga classes in the near future.

Their larger office space also provides them the opportunity to offer free-to-the-public educational seminars, which will also happen soon.

Living With Intention was recently honored at the Fishers Chamber of Commerce 12th Annual Pillar Awards and won the award for entrepreneurial spirit. The annual ceremony honors outstanding businesses in the Fishers and surrounding communities.

As they were receiving their Pillar Award last month, these words were shared, “These business owners have never changed their defining goal – to bring to the table a particular healing skill-set of knowledge and education, of passion and compassion, of expertise and training – that leads to more optimal health. To live, and to heal, intentionally.”

Could this be good news?

The Wall Street Journal, in tandem with NBC News, recently released results of national polling it did, and the results are at once staggering and encouraging. How can that be? Read on. Pollsters asked Americans if our nation is better, stagnant or worse off since President Barack Obama took office. An unthinkable (even to us) 68 percent of respondents said the president has steered the United States to a position that is worse than when he captured the Oval Office in the aftermath of George W. Bush’s bungled administration. Obama is in his sixth of eight years as our leader. It’s also amazing and heartening, the fact that 81 percent of respondents disapprove of the job Congress is doing and twice as many among those polled stated they hold negative views of the Republican Party. Good news, it seems, but for a voting community that needs a serious reset. Maybe it’s under way. Maybe the independents are finally good and fed up with the ineffectiveness of our president and the representatives and senators on both sides of the aisle. Is this the leading edge of a sea change? Are the independents coming to the fore in a meaningful way?

We certainly would celebrate that.

Kill him!

Commentary by Terry Anker

Even as we recover from our collective disappointment that the big game didn’t provide us with adequate thrills, one is brought to contemplate the modern ethos surrounding the grand combat that is contemporary football. As we sit and listen to commentators compare these young athletes’ prowess to all manner of ancient warriors, the hyperbole is both amusing and concerning.

Just this week a purveyor of such things announced the looming exhibition boxing match of a pair of celebrities – or at least notorious humans.

The promoter is bringing together George Zimmerman, the low-rent, armed neighborhood watch protagonist who shot an unarmed 15-year-old boy, and Earl Simmons, the multi-platinum-selling, bankrupt deadbeat dad of 12 (more paternity claims are being litigated), felon and movie star who presently calls himself DMX. Although there isn’t enough room in this column, perhaps in the entire newspaper, to fully come to grips with these men’s guilt or innocence against the various social expectations they have confronted, one can

certainly imagine the PT Barnum-like spectacle this display will generate.

Mr. Simmons summarily expressed his bravado by proclaiming in an expletive-laced tirade that he would beat Mr. Zimmerman to near death and complete his humiliation by evacuating himself on the body. Mr. Zimmerman, in his own display of modern manhood, has been seeking a boxing match like this one for some time and has been shopping for an opponent most likely to generate attention, and thus cash for himself.

Please forgive the use of rather coarse language in describing the interaction between these two humans; however, its expression printed here barely exposes the vitriol of what has actually been said. Is this an important expression of rage in our society, or simply unfettered and devolved pandering?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent, learn not to be deceived.

- JR Capablanca

Many of us (myself included) expect the benefit of the “quick fix” to help repair our health problems. We don’t really want to eat healthy or exercise due to our busy lifestyles, and let’s face it: watching TV and eating our favorite comfort foods are more fun then sweating it out at the gym or eating a spinach salad.

When we start to develop health problems, we are often prescribed medication, and in many cases, we need the medication for our problems to be stabilized. But what if we could prevent some of these costly health problems by simply putting in more time and effort in taking care of ourselves?

That’s what Living With Intention, a private medical practice in Fishers, strives to educate its patients. Patients are seen much longer than a typical doctor’s visit and are encouraged to adjust their diet, perhaps adding supplements to their diet, and are counseled on the root cause of their problem.

Dr. Stephen Elliott of Living With Intention has seen many patients, including one with chronic constipation and abdominal issues, who have previously been to various doctors, specialists, and been through one test, scope or scan after another. As it turns out, many of us have a diet of mainly processed food that causes problems. Packaged food is convenient and quick. But at what cost?

The facility also has a massage therapist on staff. I only recently learned that massages can help with depression and anxiety, as well as cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and nervous systems, and even hormonal imbalances.

Winter is not a time when many of us are excited to get out of the house. We enjoy being complacent, but we often get depressed when the sun doesn’t shine and we aren’t active. This is the time of year we should be focused on getting out to do things we enjoy, getting those massages and eating right so we can feel better, instead of waiting until we develop another health problem.

Showing our Kentucky side

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

As I approach my seven-year anniversary with Current, I’ve been revisiting some of my most “famous” columns. Here’s the one that forever changed my husband’s identity. humor Pardon me, but my Kentucky is showing. One night, you see, as I lay in bed with my sound machine at half blast, I heard what sounded like a small critter shuffling behind me. Squirrel in the chimney, I thought, and cranked the noise to “Prop Plane.” Moments later, the scratching shifted, and I determined it was coming from directly above my head, from the attic. The weird clawing continued, so I went to get my husband (who I will hereinafter call “Doo” in reference to Loretta Lynn’s husband).

Doo came upstairs and confirmed that something was definitely up there, but felt there was no need to fret. I eventually fell asleep, but at 4:30 a.m., I awoke to more creepy pawing. Dang nabbit! When I went outside to take a gander, I couldn’t see anything at first. Then a circular shape with two pointy ears came into focus, daring me to do something about his uninvited presence. Naturally, I hightailed it back to safety.

At first light, Doo climbed up to attic with a broom and came face-to-face with our perp, a big mother of a raccoon. Doo ordered me outside; he would attempt to scare the varmint out onto the roof. No good. The ‘coon hunkered down

between the joists. “I’ll be back,” Doo shouted as he sped off in the truck, covered in insulation and sweat.

Minutes later Doo returned, now armed with a pellet gun. He again entered the attic, ready to go all Deliverance on the critter. Out on the front yard, I heard Pop! Pop!, and then Doo hollerin’ “I got him!” Though he couldn’t find a body, we proudly claimed success.

At 11:30 pm, however, our worst nightmare was confirmed. The Bourne Raccoon was alive!

Scratch, scratch, shuffle, scratch. With the kids asleep, Doo grabbed his gun and headed into the fray once more, while I sprinted outside. Pop! Pop, pop, pop. Silence. Then Doo came bounding out the door in nothing but a pair of cut-off shorts, yellin’ that he’d nailed the sucker, while I stood barefoot in a bathrobe.

How Butcher Holler was this scene? Me and Doo, half-naked at midnight, trying to kill a ‘coon with a shotgun? All that was missing was a baby on the hip! A big fat apology to neighbors who were lured to their windows by our backwoods shenanigans. We promise to keep our Kentucky better hidden next time. Peace out, y’all.

Symphony from Israel to stop in Carmel during tour

THIS WEEK

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com Being in the middle of a 38-concert tour might seem like a heavy load for an orchestra conductor to undertake, but BoguMusic slaw Dawidow is used to the rigors of touring and international travel for the sake of music.

In fact, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra that the Polish native will conduct in a concert at the Palladium Feb. 19 is just one of five orchestras he’s involved with on four continents.

In addition to being principal guest conductor of this orchestra from northern Israel, Dawidow (pronounced “DAH-vee-doff”) continues to direct the Chopin Chamber Orchestra he founded in Krakow, Poland, in the 1980s. He also holds the post of principal guest conductor with the Bogotá (Colómbia) Symphony Orchestra.

All that, plus regular work with orchestras in Palermo, Italy, and South Korea, makes for what could well be an exhausting schedule for a 60-year-old.

“I don’t feel it,” Dawidow said about his age, as he prepared to travel to Elmira, N.Y., last week.

His wife is accompanying him on this tour, as she does on most of his travels.

“If you love this, you don’t feel your age,” he said. “I was born to be on the stage and I feel born again whenever I go onstage.”

The main difficulty is adjusting to time-zone changes, he admitted in a telephone interview.

“But if music is your life, you do everything you have to do to get into the music,” he said.

His formative musical studies focused on conducting in his native Poland, but his career focus blossomed significantly in the early 1980s when he worked with and observed Leonard Bernstein in Vienna over seven to eight months.

In the twilight of his career, Bernstein was giving concerts and making recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic.

“He just showed me that these big guys are normal guys,” Dawidow said. “You can talk with them. And you can see how they work. That was something that can be the best in a young conductor’s experience. “ As for Bernstein’s influence on him, Dawidow said, “He has proved to me the value of looking for the simplicity in music. In performing music, in dealing with all the people involved, you keep in mind that everything starts from the classics.”

Dawidow has emphasized known masterworks he loves in the programs he’s leading on the current tour. The Carmel audience will hear the overture to “Euryanthe” by Carl Maria von Weber; Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7

Let your spirits soar – The Indiana Wind Symphony presents a new show called “By Air or by Sea.” Conductor Charles Conrad CARMEL invites listeners to venture onto the high seas and soar through the open skies with music of the symphony as their vessel. The inspiring performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Palladium in Carmel.

Tickets start at $20. For more information, call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Fishers on Tap – Warm your insides during this third annual beer tasting event from 4 to 7 p.m.

Feb. 22 at 11313 USA Parkway, FISHERS featuring more than 60 Indiana craft beers. General admission is $40; designated drivers pay $20. Sponsored by the Fishers Rotary Club, proceeds will benefit local service agencies. For more information, please go to www.fishersrotary.org.

Stone Soup Suppers – When you throw just the right ingredients together and let them simmer, the results can be just NOBLESVILLE downright delectable. At Nickel Plate Arts’ Stone Soup Suppers, thoughtful, fun, fascinating people together are brought together to have “artful conversations” about creativity, community, humanity and more over a delicious dinner of soup, salad, sides and, of course, dessert. The Feb. 20 supper will feature up-and-coming local artists discussing “What art in Hamilton County could be” from 7 to 9 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Nickel Plate Arts Campus, 107 S. Eighth St. Cost is $50.

For more information, call 452-3690.

Boguslaw Dawidow of Poland will conduct the Haifa Symphony Orchestra during its performance at the Palladium on Feb. 19. (submitted photo)

in A major; and with soloist Roman Rabinovich, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor.

Audiences respond well to music they are likely to be familiar with, Dawidow said, and bringing programs consisting largely of wellknown compositions allows them to assess the quality of an orchestra they are unlikely to know.

Israeli pianist Rabinovich will be the soloist in 20 of the Haifa orchestra’s U.S. concerts. At other stops he will play concertos by Beethoven and Rachmaninoff. The ensemble has another soloist on hand for the remainder of the concerts: violist Avshalom Sarid, who will be fea-

tured in a contemporary concerto by a fellow Israeli.

Formed in 1950, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra offers a varied musical palette to audiences at its home base in northern Israel. It has bigband and opera affiliates, a Jewish music series, extensive children’s concerts and an educational component, in addition to its classical season.

This is its first American tour.

Haifa Symphony Orchestra • 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 • The Palladium in Carmel • Tickets start at $15.

• For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Play tackles fading WASP culture

By Terri Spilmam • editorial@youarecurrent.com Imagine if a dining room table handed down from generation to generation could tell stories about all the holidays, meals, theatre life-changing events and conversations that occurred while gathered around it.

Carmel’s newest theater group, Carmel Theatre Company, will be presenting A.R. Gurney’s play “The Dining Room” which is written around that very idea.

Director Ken Klingenmeier has cast three men and three women who play a total of 58 characters of all ages as “The Dining Room” travels its course through time.

“The play is a study of Americans, primarily White Anglo Saxon Protestants who make up a large cross-section of our country,” Klingenmeier said. “It is about what that cross-section values both materialistically and emotionally.”

The play was first presented in 1982, but its themes of clinging to tradition still resonate today.

The cast shares the duties of the multiple characters in 18 short scenes that take place in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household.

Each vignette portrays a different occasion and life circumstance among a family such as a father/son interaction on grammar and politics, the exposure of a mother’s infidelity, a senile grand-

Are you unhappy with your legs’ appearance?

Do you avoid wearing clothing that shows your legs? Are you experiencing swelling veins and discomfort in your legs? Do you have a network of spider veins crawling across your legs? Do you have bulging, twisted veins? This summer you can grab your shorts or bathing suit and enjoy the summer sun.

When we have varicose vein disease, valves in our legs do not work properly and allow some of the venous blood to flow backward and pool in our legs, resulting in bulging veins and symptoms such as pain, swelling, tiredness or redness. If an individual has bulging veins or is suffering from discomfort, treatment may be required to relieve symptoms. Spider veins might not always cause discomfort, but can be a cosmetic concern. Diagnostic ultrasound vein mapping should be performed to determine the abnormal areas of blood flow in both legs. With that information, a comprehensive plan of treatment can be determined.

Endovenous laser treatment is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. Using ultrasound guidance, a small laser fiber is inserted

through the skin into the varicosed vein. Laser energy is delivered inside the vein, which causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. Once that vein is closed, the blood reroutes to other healthy veins. This procedure is done in-office under local anesthetic. It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Following the procedure, patients wear a compression stocking on the treated leg. Most patients return to work within a day or two; many return to work the same day. EVLT may also be accompanied by sclerotherapy, which is a straightforward strategy to treat any residual, problematic veins. This procedure involves using a very small needle to inject a solution into the veins, which cause them to collapse and disappear.

Beyond the obvious health benefits of treatment is the legs’ improved appearance. If you are experiencing symptoms of varicose veins or are bothered by your legs’ cosmetic appearance, a consultation is important. Treatment is easy and will dramatically improve your quality of life.

Jeffery P. Schoonover, M.D., FAAFP, RVT, RPVI, practices with the Indiana Vein Specialists, 11876 Olio Road, Suite 700, Fishers. He can be reached at 348-3023. For more information, visit www.indyveins.com

dispatches Effectively treat frostbite – Make sure you cover up even that little bit of bare skin in temperatures below freezing; frostbite can occur within just five minutes due to wind chill. When frostbite occurs, soak skin for 30 minutes in warm, not hot, water until the skin is soft and flexible.

Although standing near a fireplace may be temping, don’t — the exposed skin can easily become burned. – www. webmd.com

Build up immunity with these antioxidants – Citrus fruits, ginger, mushrooms and, yes, that well-known chicken soup (doctors say it really works!) are just a few of the foods that can help you build your immune system to fight the flu and other viruses. – www.huffingtonpost.com Opt for super-fatted soaps in winter – The same products that keep your face looking fresh in the spring and summer may cause skin problems during winter. Choose a gentle, super-fatted, fragrance-free soap for cleansing.

Super-fatted means the soap is loaded with oils to keep skin moisturized. – www.webmd.com

Stop those wrinkles – One surprising way you might be aging your skin: drinking through a straw. Sure, it looks more ladylike to sip your beverages, but repeatedly pursing your lips can cause wrinkling around your mouth. While not noticeable when you’re young, these lines become more pronounced as you age and your skin weakens. – www.living.msn.com

CALL 317.580.0101 TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR WELLNESS & YOGA OFFERINGS. COLOR CODING: WHICH SHADE IS RIGHT FOR YOU? Are you considering switching up your shade for spring? Here are a few tips to keep hair color transition natural, beautiful, and worry-free.

Enlist a Trained Professional Always get your color done by a professional. It can be hard to apply product evenly throughout hair and even harder to judge processing time when your experience in color is limited. Take the fuss and mess out of at-home dyeing by scheduling your appointment with one of our stylists at Salon 01. Our unique color bar and personal consultations will make you feel right at home- without the unwanted cleanup!

If you’re thinking blonde…

If you were blonde as a child or if you had a lighter hue that was blonde by summer’s end you may have the skin tone to pull off those light locks. Think about regular maintenance, though. Blonde hair must be taken care of and touched up more frequently, depending on the shade of your natural hair color.

If you’re thinking red…

Almost anyone can pull off red hair. The trick is in the specific hue of red. To find a red that fits perfectly with your skin tone, have a personalized consultation with one of our Salon 01 stylists! They will formulate a red individually for you.

If you’re thinking brunette…

Typically, if you are not naturally blonde, brown hair upkeep is fairly easy. This is a good choice for people that would rather not spend too much time fussing over colored hair. A tip from Marie Claire {To maximize the impact of your chocolaty color, go deeper and monotone if your hair is nearly all one length. If it's shorter or very layered, make the ends slightly lighter, and weave in high- and lowlights to emphasize the texture of the cut. }

EXTENSIONS: ARE THEY RIGHT FOR YOU? Thinking long hair could be right for you?

Salon 01 has a Dream Team made up of specially trained stylists in HairDreams hair extensions.

Hairdreams has been a worldwide leading provider of real, human hair extensions for many years. The Hairdreams philosophy includes a strict quality orientation. Only absolutely healthy, thoroughly tested hair passes the stringent Hairdreams quality control process and is subsequently gently refined. The result: excellent hair quality which, in the meantime, has become the Hairdreams “trademark”.

Proof of this outstanding quality is the Hairdreams guarantee of faultless hair appearance during the entire wearing period. The prerequisite is simply maintenance and necessary care measures and the regular aftercare at your Hairdreams salon..

Hairdreams works with leading stylists around the world, including many top stylists in metropolises such as Milan, Paris, or New York, who regularly style celebrities, actresses, singers and models with hair from Hairdreams. Every Hairdreams stylist is intensively trained by an experienced educator and regularly takes continuing education to keep up with the latest application techniques.

To learn more about the hair extension process or to book an appointment with a member of the Salon 01 Dream Team, call 317-580-0101.

HEAVY METAL It’s a great look, when it’s done right. Other times, a metallic eye shadow can look flaky, or even too outdated. Instead of passing on this trend all together, though, take our advice for applying the perfect metal shade for you.

Step One - Sweep the shadow of your choice across your lids, being sure to stay below the brow bones.

Step Two - Lightly line your eyes with a black eye pencil. Use more pressure at the outer corners to really make eyes pop.

Step Three - Brighten up the inner corners by dabbing a lighter shadow.

Under current IRS rules, every person holding money in one or more retirement accounts must begin withdrawing some of that Finance money each year starting in the year he turns age 70½.

This may seem like a long time from now based upon your current age, but the planning for this required distribution from these accounts should begin years before that date.

If you have accumulated a large sum of money in your retirement accounts, you might even want to begin this process as early as age 50.

That’s because it’s possible that you have too much money in your qualified accounts, which could cause a tax issue during retirement.

Not taking the required minimum payout could cause a penalty of half the amount you should have removed, but did not remove, from your accounts.

Part of this puzzle is that you may have tax liability during retirement if your income from dividends, other income or IRA withdrawals, exceeds $24,000 per year.

The concern here is that tax rates in later years will be higher than they are today. Predicting future tax rates is impossible. Given the national debt today, this is a very real possibility.

To reduce this tax liability in retirement, it may be wise to begin withdrawing funds from your qualified accounts long before you reach the required distribution.

A person who has more than $300,000 in

qualified money at age 50 should see a financial advisor to calculate what the expected required distribution would be at age 70½. Remember that after 20 years of investing, your $300,000 could easily become $600,000 or even well over $1 million if you made wise investment decisions.

If, for example, you have $600,000 sitting in your accounts at age 70, you would be required to withdraw $21,897 in the first year of distribution. This might not be a big deal unless your growth on that account exceeds the minimum distribution.

Those of you who were brave enough to be in the stock market the past 24 months probably made a return that could be in the range of 5 to 35 percent. If your money was sitting in a savings account at the bank, your return was probably less than 1 percent.

At age 76, if you still have $600,000 in qualified money, your minimum distribution would be $27,272. This would put you into a taxable situation under current rules. Your growth each year would require you to continue to withdraw increasing amounts of money, increasing your tax liability.

For this reason, some individuals will need to begin withdrawing funds from their accounts at a much earlier age. You can make these withdrawals prior to age 59½ without penalty.

As stated earlier, always discuss these issues with a financial advisor before taking any action.

Toyota to recall Prius cars for software defect - Toyota issued a recall covering the third-generation Prius cars due to a programming glitch in their hybrid system. Toyota said the problem is in the software used to control the boost converter in a module that is part of the hybrid system. “The setting of the software could cause higher thermal stress in certain transistors within the booster converter, and these transistors could deform or become damaged as a result,” Toyota said. “This will result in various warning lights being illuminated, and will probably cause the vehicle to enter a failsafe mode.” The cars could be driven but with reduced driving power, and in limited cases, the hybrid system could shut down, causing the vehicle to stop, possibly while it is being driven, Toyota said.

Long-term care now priced by gender Deciding to buy long-term-care insurance is a big financial commitment — even more so if you are a woman. Last year, Genworth Financial and other big insurance companies adopted gender-distinct rates for long-term care insurance — which means that if you are a woman, you will now pay more than a man for the same coverage.

Long-term care insurance pays for help with daily activities such as bathing and dressing if you can no longer do them yourself. Long-term care insurers said they adopted gender-based premiums to reflect the reality that women tend to live longer than men and are more likely to use benefits. Women own about 58 percent of policies, Genworth said, but account for nearly 67 percent of all claims. The effect is that women will now pay several hundred dollars more a year in long-term care premiums than a man would for a comparable policy. SOURCE: New York Times

Creating a comfortable kitchen in a walk-out basement

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

Existing kitchen: This home located on a secluded lot overlooking Morse Reservoir was no longer suited to blueprint for the way the homeimprovement owner lived. “I began making the walk-out basement more of my living space. The kitchen there was closed and non-functional. I wanted to create a comfortable and cozy space, a place where you want to come in and sit down.”

Hickory cabinets: The design reflected the natural surroundings. “The designer suggested natural hickory cabinets,” stated the owner. “I didn’t want a contemporary or modern look.”

The cabinets gave the natural farmhouse feel the owner was looking for. The existing drywall bulkheads were removed, allowing for a more open feel. New exhaust fan ductwork was concealed in the ceiling for the new microwave.

Island as contrast: To create a contrast for the natural cabinetry, the island is stained in an espresso finish. Black Pearl granite in a leather finish also provides contrast from the White Persia granite on the perimeter cabinetry. Seating for four makes the island the true center of the kitchen.

Farmhouse look: The farmhouse look was continued in the details as well. “I have always wanted a farmhouse sink,” stated the home-

Final details: New appliances in black and matte stainless steel were installed, as well as a wine refrigerator and under-cabinet lighting. Updated storage solutions were also part of the final design, including a mixer lift, a built-in spice rack and double-layered utensil drawers.
