Local student wins NFL competition

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com

The 2013 Punt, Pass & Kick National Championships were held in December in Denver. Sophia Saucerman, a seventh-grader achievement at Heritage Christian School, represented the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL-run competition and won the championship for her age group.

The NFL sponsors the PP&K competition, and there is no charge to participate; boys and girls ages 6 to 15 are welcome to find a local PP&K event and compete. Boys’ and girls’ events are separate and everyone is divided by age groups.

Saucerman was a finalist in 2012 and competed again in 2013, managing to come in first in a local PP&K event and first in sectional and state competitions. She earned a spot in the finals and went on to win the PP&K championship in the girls’ 12-13 age group. Saucerman was honored with other PP&K champions on the football field during the Jan. 12 San Diego-at-Denver playoff game.

“I like that I got to go to the game and get announced,” Saucerman said.

The competition is made up of one punt, one pass and one placekick. Each participant receives a cumulative score made up of points awarded in all three events. Saucerman’s score was an impressive 314.4 feet.

“It was nerve-wracking,” Saucerman, said, when talking about competing at the national finals. “But my nerves went away when I did my first round of events,” she continued. “It was a lot better than when I did it last year and I felt confident.”

“Sophia has shown a fantastic desire to better herself on the soccer field and it has shown in her desire to better herself in the Punt, Pass & Kick competition,” said Saucerman’s FC Pride Soccer Club coach Matt Blackbourne. “Her teammates love what

she has accomplished,” he continued.

“The coaches, players and families at FC Pride are extremely proud of Sophia’s achievements in the Punt, Pass & Kick competition,” added FC Pride Director of Coaching Jamie Gilbert.

Saucerman, is excited to continue competing in PP&K events and said she is very happy with her 2013 performance. “I want to do this until I’m 15,” she said.

DVD Review In many ways, “All Is Lost” is 2013’s companion film to “Gravity,” though far fewer people saw it. Robert Redford stars as Our Man, an unnamed lone seafarer aboard a high-class sailboat. Like Sandra Bullock did in space, he faces an existential crisis when his vessel is fatally damaged, and he spends the rest of the movie trying valiantly – though without much hope – to survive.

Rotary Club to tap craft breweries news@currentinfishers.com The Rotary Club of Fishers and local Indiana craft brewers are teaming up this month for the third annual Fishers On Tap fundraiser winter fundraiser.

The event takes place from 4 to 7 p.m. Feb. 22 at the FORUM Conference & Events Center, 11313 USA Parkway, Fishers.

The Rotarians plan to have eight craft breweries available to sling samples including past participants Daredevil Brewing Co., Sun King Brewing Co., Upland Brewing Co., Bier Brewery, Flat12 Bierwerks and Barley Island Brewing Co., Union Brewing Co., and Peoples Brewery Co. General admission tickets cost $40, and tickets for designated drivers are $20, and can be purchased at www.fishersontap.com.

Money raised at the event has been designated for youth and child services in local community. In some cases the Fishers Rotary club will be able to apply for matching grants from the Rotary Foundation to double the impact that the event proceeds will have on children and young adults.

The club expects another sellout crowd of 450 guests to come out for an evening of great local craft beer, live entertainment, food samples from

local restaurants, 50/50 raffle, and plenty of giveaways from local businesses.

“This annual event has become a key fundraiser for our club to help us make a difference in the lives of residents in our community who need help. We are looking forward to using these funds in support of this year’s focus, children and youth services,” Michele Whelchel, president elect.

The first Fishers On Tap event in 2012 raised $2,500 for various charities with the second netting $8,200. This year, due to strong sponsorship support by local businesses (including Current in Fishers) and our title sponsor, Elfcu, to help cover the event’s costs, they expect to grow the net earnings significantly.

Fishers On Tap – Summer will return June 14 at the outdoor amphitheater at the Town of Fishers municipal complex.

Stoller to run for Fishers City Council news@currentinfishers.com Selina Stoller has announced that she is running for Fishers City Council, Northwest District.

“I want to serve the commuelection nity and to be engaged in the City of Fishers’ growth,” Stoller said. “I strive to facilitate public safety in Fishers.

I am passionate about Fishers’ future, and as a result, I am announcing my candidacy to run for election to Fishers City Council.”

Stoller said she believes the City of Fishers faces many challenges such as public safety, aging infrastructure and unplanned growth and trusts that solving these issues will contribute to the strength of Fishers.

“I believe in teamwork to develop a city where we can all thrive,” she said.

Stoller has lived in Fishers with her husband, daughter and son for over 13 years. Her family regularly participates in Special Olympics of Hamilton County. Her husband is a coach for multiple sports, and the family volunteers and assists SOHC. Stoller said her main concern as a mother is public safety to ensure that Fishers is a safe community to raise a family. “Burglaries, robber-

ies, and break-ins have increased and are a big concern to Fishers families,” she said.

Though Stoller named public safety a top priority, she said she believes the issue of public safety goes beyond the latest crime report.

“Safety is also on the roads. Development is moving forward in Fishers just as it should. If the development is not properly and strategically planned, traffic congestion and unsafe intersections can be easily created,” she said.

Stoller added that many people flock to Fishers because of the school system, however, “the problem lies in that the schools do not receive money for new students until after they have completed one year of school in the community. With new developments being put in Fishers, the schools are overcrowded. Strategic planning is needed to properly implement the development to allow the schools to expand at a reasonable pace.”

Stoller provides consultant services regarding distressed assets, and has planned and managed for private equity funds, specializing in asset allocation, incorporating non-traditional investments in a portfolio, targeting a minimal acceptable return.

Thompson named to University of Notre Dame’s dean’s list – Chase Thompson of Fishers has been named to the dean’s list of the University of Notre Dame’s first year of studies for outstanding scholarship during the fall 2013 semester.

Brown to run for Fishers City Council news@currentinfishers.com Georgia Brown has announced that she is running for Fishers City Council North Central District (District Three).

Brown has been a resident election of Fishers for 30 years and said she is running for City Council for three reasons: to ensure public safety, invest in the community’s future, and stand for neighborhood values.

“I love my community and care deeply about our city,” she said.

Brown said she believes in limited government and fiscal responsibility.

“Government should live within its means, protect its citizens and work with the school system to provide excellent education,” she said.

Brown has spent her career working as an investigator and for the Indianapolis Police Dept. and said she has a particular interest in public safety.

“Fishers is growing, and crime is growing,” she said. “I have lived here a long time and I want to make sure resources are spent on public safety before buildings downtown that only add congestion.”

Brown said she believes that experience with the community must be an essential part of its leadership.

“There are a lot of new fresh faces in Fishers, which is good,” she said. “But I also think it is important that leaders understand the history of this community, the schools, and its character.”

Brown said she adamantly believes resources should be allocated to essential services and managed growth before pet projects. She explained that, if elected, she will be the keeper of the Fishers fire and police departments and schools.

“Our schools are in fiscal crises,” she said. “Seeing the land giveaways and corporate welfare is disturbing. We have lost our way when we are having a new referendum ever year while continuing to bribe developers to do business in Fishers.”

Brown said she is committed to making sure that the things that made Fishers so attractive to so many folks continues to be focal points as growth continues.

Brown said her 35 years of experience working with law enforcement (including the Indianapolis Police Dept. and Marion County Prosecutor’s Office), is an invaluable asset as our Fishers community grows.

Program initiated by Fishers resident teaches high school students how to help save the ecosystem

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com Living the American dream for many people involves a lucrative career, followed by retirement to relax and take up a hobby.

Not for Dave Wing. cover story The Fishers resident, 62, spent his remaining career years as chief accounting officer with United Airlines, yet he began to yearn for something else to do with his life. He retired in 2010.

“I asked myself, ‘now what am I going to do?’” Wing said. “I’m not the person to sit down or play golf.”

Repurposing a life

In 2011, Wing read an article about a new program being offered at Harvard University. The Advanced Leadership Initiative was started by a group of Harvard professors with the purpose of recruiting retired, experienced leaders for a one-year fellowship designed to begin new careers with a greater impact on society than the retirees had experienced in their first careers.

Those that attend the fellowship can choose from systematic problems ranging from poverty, global health, and environmental degradation to basic education. Those with advanced degrees attend seminars on advanced leadership and develop a plan for an area that they are interested in.

The following year, Wing was accepted into the fellowship program. Education appealed to Wing, as well as the preservation of coral reefs, which affects not only animals in the sea, but the climate of the world as well.

Wing needed to connect with someone who had experience in marine biology to develop an idea for a new career. He was introduced to David Makepeace, 64, a resident of the northern Florida Keys who retired from 33 years of teaching marine science to high school students.

Wing and Makepeace founded Project Coral Rescue, a program for high school students taking honors marine science classes at Coral Shores High School and Island Christian School. The program, in its first year, is receiving funding through cash donations, cash matches and through reduced rates or free goods and services by both non-profit and for-profit organizations.

Saving the reefs

As part of the program, students are taken on dives in the Florida Keys to witness the loss of coral reefs.

“We are teaching students why (the coral reefs are dying), biology and what is being done to preserve and protect what we have

Two high schools in the northern part of the Florida Keys have implemented Project Coral Rescue into their classroom curriculum.

left,” Wing said.

Coral reefs make up 1 percent of the total area of the ocean and are often referred to as “the rainforest of the ocean,” according to

Wing, because “it is a vibrant ocean ecosystem with a high degree of biological diversity. Its importance to ocean health is undeniable; about 25 percent of the fish species which live in the ocean today spend some portions of their lives in coral reefs,” he said.

Students are taught that activities such as boating, diving and fishing can cause direct damage to the corals, as well as polluting the water. Other dangers include carbon dioxide, the rapid growth of algae, which competes with coral space, global warming, which causes the water to become warmer as well and cause coral bleaching.

“Bleaching is a process still not understood but it ultimately causes corals to lose access to nutrition and therefore causes them to starve and die,” Wing said.

The good news is that, with the assistance of the Coral Restoration Foundation, the students are helping to rebuild coral reefs.

The foundation began a method of coral restoration for two types of corals: staghorn and elkhorn. Coral fragments that are broken off from larger coral colonies are grown in an underwater nursery, also maintained by students.

Fragments that have reached an appropriate size are transplanted to bare areas of coral reefs using a material similar to putty, which sticks the coral fragment to the reef and hardens quickly in the water.

“The transplanted corals continue to grow wherever they are transplanted with a success rate of more than 90 percent,” Wing said.

Students have also learned that lionfish, a predatory breed that originated in the Pacific and Indian oceans, have posed a significant danger to the ecosystem, eliminating up to 80 percent of other reef fishes. Lionfish, which are typically adopted and placed into aquariums, are found striking by people due to their red and white stripes and dorsal fins. However, lionfish will attack every other type of fish in the aquarium and have a voracious appetite.

When the lionfish become too large, their owners do not want to kill them, and instead throw them into the ocean.

How the ecosystem affects Indiana

Coastal parts of the U.S. are not the only areas affected by the poor ecosystem. The rate of dying fish can drive up prices of fish significantly. As well, according to Makepeace, fisheries are impacted, and farmers must be careful about the use of fertilizer, which can impact the Mississippi River.

“Anything that goes on in and around the Mississippi River, any fertilizer that can get in the river, does have a direct impact on the health of the coral reefs,” Makepeace said. “So many things sustain us from the ocean: food from the ocean, water, medicines discovered from marine sources, and the ocean provides jobs.”

“I asked myself, ‘now what am I going to do? I’m not the person to sit down or play golf.”

FFF to benefit kids, their art

So, this is cool for a number of reasons.

Hamilton Southeastern Schools kindergarteners through eighth-graders with artistic flair are being encouraged to share their ideas for the Fishers Freedom Festival’s annual T-Shirt Design Contest. The winner will have his or her design on the official 2014 T-shirt for the festival that runs June 28-29. Festival officials say the school with the highest percentage of entries will receive $500 towards its art program. In the event that there is a tie, the prize will be divided equally. For more details, please go to www.fishersfreedomfestival.org or call the festival office at 595.3195. Entry deadline is Feb. 14. The Fishers Arts Council and the Fishers Freedom Festival will provide prize money.

A panel from the Arts Council and the Fishers Freedom Festival Committee will determine the winning artwork. Up to 100 T-shirt design finalists will have their artwork on display as a Fishers Art in Town Hall exhibition March 1-31.

This is a multiple-win art endeavor. We’re looking forward to the coming designs.

Failing infallibility

Commentary by Terry Anker

There are few things that frustrate us more than making mistakes, especially big mistakes.

Not only do they point towards our own fallibility but they also remind us to slow down and pay attention to the details of what we do. To be sure, there is a distinction between culpability for one’s own actions and an unpreventable error resulting from circumstance. And, the space between the two is often difficult to measure. Yet, we know when we have failed through our own folly.

Recently, I led the charge in insulting an important partner and embarrassing myself proving that I’m failing infallibility. Not as attentive as I should have been to the bulk of e-mail and other communications that shower us each day, I misinterpreted an important message and took action without confirming the veracity of my understanding. Ultimately, I ended up embarrassing the truly good person while at the same time making an ass of myself. Kudos for multitasking!

By the time the error was discovered, harm

had been caused and the opportunity to fix the transgression had passed. Certainly, the victim of my actions was magnanimous and thoughtful (in a way that I’m not sure I would have been mature enough to be); but, the frustration over the error hangs with me. How many mistakes do we make that go unrecognized? How many opportunities do we miss to do the right thing?

How many people are harmed in silence?

Many of us glide through life with rare repercussion for our own error. We are insulated from failure either by previous success or by personal advantage. Yet so many, unsheltered by accumulated goodwill, live in peril of a single transgression. When we imagine ourselves to hardly stumble in a gaffe, is it more likely that we seldom are held to account for our actions?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.

- Theodore Roosevelt

I first met local resident Dave Wing, 62, a few months ago at a play that he and his wife, Donna, produced at Oaklandon Civic Theatre about the friendship during the 1800s between Transcendendalists Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.

Dave and Donna are an example of a couple that have led the American dream: lucrative careers, intelligent kids, wonderful trips and a nice home.

Yet something happened along the way that changed after they retired. The idea of playing golf and relaxing at home did not appeal to them. They wanted something more. They wanted to make a more significant impact in the world.

A few years ago, Harvard University came knocking on their door. The couple were offered a one-year fellowship granted to educated, retired, experienced individuals that had a dream. For some people, these dreams involved offering low-cost HIV medicine to third-world countries or helping survivors of tsunamis rebuild their lives.

David and Donna decided that, with their interest in education, scuba diving, and the erosion of coral reefs in the ocean, they would help educate future generations on lessons in saving the environment.

The Wings traveled to the northern keys in Florida to meet with a retired marine biology teacher named David Makepeace. Together, they decided to incorporate their vision to high school students interested in marine biology.

Together, they are taking an important step toward helping the environment.

Retirees, what is your dream for a second career? Perhaps you were busy raising children or working a job just because of security in your younger years. Explore your options.

Working mom’s job is hard enough Commentary by Danielle Wilson

F E B R UA RY

22 Heart disease is the number one killer of women, but do you know why?

You are invited to join Community Physician Network cardiologist Nanette Oscherwitz, MD, for a special seminar on women and heart health. Heart disease affects women differently than it does men, with signs and symptoms that go beyond typical chest pain. Don’t miss this chance to learn: • Risk factors for heart disease • Signs and symptoms of heart disease in women • How to manage stress for a healthier heart • How to exercise for a healthy heart • What heart screenings are available and are they right for you

I was talking with some fellow working moms (WMs) the other night, and I heard a story that got me so fired up I’m writing a humor column about it. Read on and be appalled.

WM was feeling guilty about not spending enough time with her children and decided to take a day off to simply play with her kids. They’d sleep in, go to Starbucks and “pretend” to work on laptops while they sipped coffee and hot chocolate, ate a fun lunch out, and then maybe saw a movie or went bowling. They’d talk, laugh, hug and create beautiful memories. More importantly, WM would assuage her guilt and all would be right in the world.

But of course everyone was grumpy the morning of the much-anticipated Bonding Day, and no one really wanted to get dressed and go out.

But, chillin’ at the coffee shop was on the schedule, so WM plowed ahead. An hour later, after her sugar-crazed rugrats had completely ignored multiple harshly whispered pleas to calm the frick down, she decided to cut her losses and pack up. Better luck at Stop No. 2.

Here’s where it got interesting. Another patron, a woman mind you, had the nerve to criticize her parenting as she was leaving. To. Her. Face. I know! Instead of empathizing with a “Don’t worry about it, honey, we’ve all been there,” or even better, offering a “Can I help you?”

Ms. High-and-Mighty touted her Christian beliefs and suggested that maybe WM should have just stayed home. Can you believe that? I just want to punch her! WM ended her morning crying in the car and feeling even guiltier than before. Way to go, lady.

We’ve all witnessed our kid meltdowns in a nice restaurant or the checkout aisle at Meijer, but who in her right mind actually says something when she sees the chaos unfolding? And I’m sure this woman thought she understood the situation perfectly, and that she was doing her good deed for the day, but all that hag managed was to ladle a huge helping of guilt on WM, who was already beyond frustrated and disappointed.

Admittedly, I judge other moms all the time, but I would never express it out loud for two reasons: I’m the blackest pot on the stove and karma’s a (rhymes with itch). Listen, people: Being a mom is tough, and working moms constantly struggle to find a good balance between career and home.

Please don’t add to the scales by dishing out unsolicited advice. Instead, try putting yourself in her position and remember how challenging parenting can be. A few kind words in solidarity can make all the difference, particularly to WMs. Peace out.

The Bahia Orchestra Project from Brazil has committed to playing Latin-American compositions in its repertoire. (submitted photo)

Brazil’s best orchestra to team with French pianist

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com As an example of what music can do for poor kids, Venezuela’s El Sistema has inspired many other musical education programs Music around the world with social purposes behind them. Its Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra brought to prominence conductor Gustavo Dudamel, now music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

One of the fruits of El Sistema’s success is NEOJIBA/the Bahia Orchestra Project, which sits atop a similar pyramid of musical training in the Brazilian state of Bahia. Conducted by its founder, pianist Ricardo Castro, the 100-member youth orchestra, established in 2007, will be near the end of a two-and-half-week North American tour when it appears at the Palladium.

The Bahia Orchestra Project is already known in Europe, having played concerts in Berlin, Lucerne and London (where its featured guest artist was superstar pianist Lang Lang).

For its Carmel appearance, it will welcome another well regarded, if not quite as famous, pianist as soloist - Jean-Yves Thibaudet. He’s a native of France now living and performing in the U.S.

French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet will be the guest soloist during the collaborative performance at the Palladium.

Thibaudet will be featured in Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major. That’s one of two piano showcases on the program. By special request of Center for the Performing Arts management, the Bahia ensemble will also play George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” with Castro as soloist.

Center spokesman John Hughey said the request was made to highlight the location of the Feinstein Initiative and its Great American Songbook vocal competition at the Palladium,

and because Gershwin is considered among the greatest American songwriters.

Other works on the Palladium program are Peter Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet FantasyOverture, two movements from Heitor VillaLobos’ “Bachianas Brasileira” No. 2 and Arturo Marquez’s “Danzon 2.”

The latter two works — by Brazilian and Mexican composers, respectively — represent the Bahia Orchestra Project’s commitment to LatinAmerican repertoire.

Bahia is a historically significant part of eastern Brazil, with geographical diversity crowned by a famous 685-mile coastline. It’s one of 26 Brazilian states and its largest city, Salvador, was established in 1599 and became the country’s historical capital.

Two important cultural traditions of Brazil — the carnival and the samba — originated there.

Bahia Orchestra Project • Brazilian youth orchestra, conducted by Ricardo Castro; with piano soloist Jean-Yves Thibaudet • 7:30 p.m.

Feb. 13 • The Palladium in Carmel • Tickets start at $40. • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

PRESENTS

Romantic night remembers Gershwin

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com This time of year, we all struggle to come up with a mushy and endearing sentiment to add to the Valentine’s prose on the card Music Hallmark has already written for us.

Often, we end up adding something devastatingly clever, like, “Love, me.”

Don’t you wish you could come up with something like this?

I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh …

The world will pardon my mush ‘Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you.

Nobody expresses love quite like George Gershwin and nothing could be more romantic than sitting and listening to a glorious evening of his music sung by the inimitable Michael Feinstein.

Feinstein’s “Gershwins and Me” will be presented at the Palladium on Feb. 16. It will be an evening of songs and stories presented the way only Feinstein can.

When he was 20, Feinstein was hired by George Gershwin’s brother, Ira, as an archivist.

He wrote a book about those years entitled, “The Gershwins and Me; a Personal History in Twelve Songs.”

Feinstein will sing songs from the Gershwin songbook interspersed with tales from the book.

He also will share the stage with the winner of 2013’s Great American Songbook Competition, Julia Goodwin, who recently performed with him

Michael Feinstein will perform the works of George Gershwin on Feb. 16 at the Palladium with the help of Julie Goodwin, the winner of 2013’s Great American Songbook Competition. (Submitted photo)

at the legendary New York jazz club Birdland.

“I have read Michael’s book and cannot wait to hear these stories in person,” said John Hughey, director of external relations for the Center for the Performing Arts. “It’s going to be a beautiful tribute to the Gershwins. We all adore Michael for his musical talents, but he’s an amazing writer and storyteller, too. No one other than Michael could share these stories. He lives and breathes American music and makes us proud of our history as he brings these songs to life.”

Forget the chocolates. Take your Valentine to an evening he or she will remember forever.

Feinstein’s “The Gershwins and Me” • 7 p.m.

Feb. 16 • The Palladium in Carmel • Tickets start at $15. • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Whether people are trying to lose weight or want to prevent weight gain, metabolism is usually part of the discusnutrition sion. The speed at which the body burns calories – called “metabolic rate” – is different for everyone and is based on a variety of factors, including age, gender and genetics.

Patients often ask what they can do to boost their metabolic rate.

Here are a few suggestions: Build muscle and stay active – The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate – even at rest. In fact, every pound of muscle burns six calories each day, while fat burns just two. Exercise, especially high-intensity aerobic exercise, can increase metabolism in the hours following a workout.

Eat more often – Having small meals or snacks every three to four hours keeps your metabolism up and running.

Drink water – Your body needs water to use calories, so even mild dehydration can slow metabolism. Drinking a glass of water or an unsweetened beverage before meals helps.

Increase protein – It takes more calories to digest protein than to digest fat or carbohy-

drates. Although eating a balanced diet is important, choosing more servings of healthy proteins, such as turkey, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, white chicken meat, lean beef and tofu, can increase metabolism.

Choose green tea – The combined benefits of caffeine and catechins in green or oolong tea can boost metabolism for a couple of hours and may help your body burn more calories during moderate exercise.

Add some spice – Believe it or not, spicy foods have benefits when it comes to increasing metabolism. Although their effect is temporary, if you eat spicy foods often, the benefit could add up. Consider adding chopped red or green peppers or red pepper flakes to foods.

Diet sensibly – Very low-calorie diets can stall metabolism. You may lose weight, but much of this is likely muscle, which will slow your metabolism in the long run. Plus, very low-calorie diets often mean you aren’t getting the nutrition you need for optimal health. Talk to your doctor about a diet plan that’s right for you.

Ignore big data Commentary by CJ McClanahan

© 2014 All Rights Reserved Certa ProPainters, Ltd. Each CertaPro Painters business is independently owned and operated.

Have you heard the term “big data”?

If you haven’t, there’s no doubt you’ve unwittingly move the needle been a part of it. Do you remember the time you Googled the term “hair replacement for men,” and now you see advertisements for Propecia on a banner ad on every new Website you visit?

That’s big data. Companies learn as much as they can about you, then jam all of that information into a giant algorithm, which helps them determine what they think is the best way to influence your buying decisions in the future.

You might not like it, but big data is here, and there’s no reversing the trend.

As an entrepreneur, you should ask the question, “How should I take advantage of all this information?”

You don’t.

Unless you have a team of Harvard MBA’s, I recommend that you ignore big data.

That’s right; resist the urge to jump onto the bandwagon. Here’s why.

You’re already drowning in a bunch of information you ignore daily. Adding streams of new data will only make you

more frustrated.

Instead, you need to review the smallest amount of data possible to make good business decisions.

This will not be easy because every other day you’ll identify something new (e.g., Facebook “likes”) that you think is important. Trust me, it isn’t.

Virtually every small business can boil its business down to three to five key performance indicators that really drive bottom line improvement.

For example, if you own a small accounting firm, your growth is based on referrals and upselling current clients.

A construction company should pay extremely close attention to individual project profitability.

You just need to figure out what moves the needle in your business.

Here’s my advice: brainstorm every single KPI you can imagine, and then pare this list down to no more than five.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. You just need to execute.

DISPATCHES Bye-bye tax breaks - Two proposals in President Barack Obama’s 2015 budget could curb retirement tax breaks for the rich. The first would limit savers’ combined balance across tax-preferred accounts. Last year, the president introduced the idea of prohibiting contributions to tax-advantaged retirement accounts like IRAs, 401(k)s and pensions when a person’s combined balance exceeds a certain level. Last year, for instance, the limit would have been $3.4 million for someone who was 62, but just $1 million for someone who was 40, according to a Tax Policy Center report. Secondly, there’s a proposal to cap the value of deductions for retirement savings contributions. Every year he’s been in office, Obama has proposed limiting the tax benefit of itemized deductions, as well certain tax exclusions, to 28 percent of the amount claimed. The Tax Policy Center estimates the proposal would affect mostly individuals who make more than $200,000 and married couples above $250,000. SOURCE: CNN Money SCAN TO DOWNLOAD OR REDEEM COUPON

Young Americans scarred by financial crisis - Last month, UBS Wealth Management Americas released its quarterly Investor Watch report, which labeled millennials (which it defines as people ages 21 to 36) as the most fiscally conservative generation since the Great Depression. The majority of millennials surveyed said that the best advice they ever got was to save money, a switch from every other generation that cherished investment advice above all other financial tips. As a result, millennials aren’t buying into the purported merits of long-term investment and market chasing. Only 12 percent would invest some unexpected extra income in the market, and only 28 percent see long-term investment as key to success. As of last year, nearly 300,000 U.S. workers with college degrees were earning minimum wage. And the Center for College Affordability and Productivity reported that nearly half of the college graduates from the class of 2010 are working in jobs that don’t require a bachelor’s degree. A full 38 percent have taken gigs that don’t even require a high school education. SOURCE: MSN Money

Stable at Meknes, Morocco (Photo by Don Knebel)

A Moroccan Versailles Commentary by Don Knebel

HEALTH CARE - MANUFACTURING - RETAIL - REAL ESTATE

3925 River Crossing Parkway, 3rd Floor | Indianapolis, IN 46240 | 317.472.2200 | info@somersetcpas.com

Meknes is one of Morocco’s former royal cities, along with the better known Fes, Marrakech and Rabat. Meknes is famous for buildTravel ings erected by a 17th-century ruler who fancied himself the equal of French King Louis XIV and holds a world record for virility.

Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif, claiming to be a descendant of Muhammad, became the Sultan of Morocco in 1672. Ismail moved his capital from Fes to Meknes and set about erecting palaces and other buildings to match his image of Versailles. He reportedly used 25,000 slaves in his projects, many of them Europeans captured by Barbary pirates operating from Moroccan ports.

Some of the building materials may have been plundered from Volubilis, a nearby city with buildings dating to Roman times.

Ismail’s famous stable housed 12,000 horses under a single roof supported by stone arches.

Three long corridors intersected at the entrance, allowing one attendant to monitor all the horses simultaneously. An enormous granary adjoining the stable stored grain at controlled temperatures to enable both the horses and the residents to survive a long siege. A wheel inside the granary pulled water from an underground

stream. When construction at Meknes was complete, 15 miles of walls surrounded the city.

Ismail, who led huge armies of soldiers from sub-Saharan Africa against his rivals, reportedly placed 10,000 skulls atop the walls to warn prospective attackers.

Ismail maintained good diplomatic relations with Louis XIV, but was rebuffed in his efforts to marry the French king’s daughter. Not to worry; Ismail had enough wives and concubines to sire at least 867 children. Because of his military successes and his buildings at Meknes, Moulay Ismail is considered one of Morocco’s greatest rulers despite (or perhaps because of) his reputation for ruthlessness.

A 1755 earthquake destroyed many of the buildings in Meknes, and Ismail’s successors moved the Moroccan capital to Marrakech. The stable and granary have been partially restored and they, along with Ismail’s mausoleum, are open to visitors. Ismail’s record for fathering the most children of any man in history remains untouched.

In defense of ‘alright’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer In a previous column, I wrote about how “alright” isn’t “all right.” Today, I thought we could visit some counterargugrammar guy ments. This is going to be fun.

First, we’ll look at the history of “alright.” Our friend Merriam-Webster says it’s been around for a while. Dating its first known use to 1887, Webster says, “The one-word spelling alright appeared some 75 years after all right itself had reappeared from a 400-year-long absence. Since the early 20th century some critics have insisted alright is wrong, but it has its defenders and its users.” Webster goes on to say that despite its detractors, “alright” is frequently used in journalistic and fictional writing. (Note here: AP style says never to use “alright.”)

How about the Oxford English Dictionary? You might be surprised to find the esteemed publication is even more lenient toward “alright.” The dictionary notes, “Similar ‘merged’ words such as altogether and already have been accepted in Standard English for a very long time, so there is no logical reason to object to the one-word form alright.”

That’s an interesting argument – though one might counter it by pointing out that “all ready”

and “already” have two distinct meanings. Can the same be said for “all right” and “alright?”

“All ready” means exactly what you would expect: wholly equipped or prepared. “Already,” on the other hand, is an adverb which signifies an action occurred “by or before a stated or implied time.”

Now, do “all right” and “alright” have distinct meanings? Based upon examples I’ve found, and my own sense of how I would use it colloquially, I would have to say no. “All right” seems to be used in a literal sense – everything is completely fine – and “alright” seems to have developed as the more figurative form – everything is OK, but not great.

I’ll finish today by saying I’m partial to “alright” when used colloquially. I think American speakers intuitively understand the difference between something being “all right” and being just “alright.” That being said, I’m not sure “alright” passes muster to be used in formal writing … which is too bad, because it’s really an all right word.

CALL 317.580.0101 TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR WELLNESS & YOGA OFFERINGS. TOP 5 BENEFITS OF YOGA Over the last few years, yoga has taken over pop culture. Everyone is doing yoga, talking about doing yoga, or fully implementing yoga in their daily lives. We have included yoga as part of our services in conjunction with the series of nutrition and wellness menu items. Here are our top five reasons why we believe yoga is good for everyone’s everyday life: 1. Yoga is for everyone – It’s meant to relax, rejuvenate, recharge, release, and refresh your inner connection to your body and mind. Allow yourself to appreciate the time you are giving to yourself and relax. It doesn’t happen as often as we need it.

2. Yoga teaches you to understand your body – The practice of yoga serves as a link to the acceptance of our body. One can learn physical, mental and emotional strengths. Learn to accept your body for what it is and connect with your needs.

Let your body tell you what it needs to be worked on instead of the other way around.

3. Yoga serves as a great way to recover after workouts – Your body needs to release toxins after every workout and drinking a lot of water isn’t always enough. Yoga gives the body the opportunity to stretch out while building core strengths. Every stretch releases toxins which allows for more recovery time and less soreness the following days.

4. Yoga incorporates meditation – Giving yourself time to meditate, or just spend some peaceful moments in thought, helps with finding ways to love your present.

We all live busy lives, which can translate into worrying about the things we don’t get done. Meditation or reflection lets you refocus and rejuvenate yourself while releasing the stress.

5. Yoga is for you – You get out what you want to get out of yoga. It serves as your time for YOU. Our Yoga sessions are Wednesdays at 7:30am and 6pm, call us at 317-580-0101 for more information.

A GUIDE TO THE PERFECT LASHES Choose the right shade - The best way to get great lashes is to start with the right shade of mascara. Black can work on anyone, but for fair-skinned individuals, and those with red hair, try a brown-black for a softer look.

Add Heat - Blast your eyelash curler with your hair dryer before very carefully curling the lashes. Squeeze the eyelash curler for a couple seconds once in the middle of the lashes, and once near the tips.

Enhance - For a more dramatic look, apply single, false lashes that come in tiny clumps.

Using tweezers, dip the lashes in lash glue and place at the outer corner of your eyelid.

Add Volume - A translucent powder at the ends of lashes gives mascara volume and stay-power. Using an eye shadow brush, sweep powder on the ends and tops of your lashes prior to applying your mascara.

Apply - Start with the wand at the root of your lashes and wiggle the brush to your ends.

Apply multiple coats for a bolder look, being careful not to let it dry between applications, in order to avoid clumping.

INSIDE & OUT

Current in Fishers

New kitchen and bathroom trends Commentary by David Decker 2014 has barely begun and already we’ve started to map out the newest trends for your kitchen and bathrooms. Take a look at indoors the following creative ideas that designers have come up with to make 2014 an exciting and innovative year.

Kitchen • Floating shelves: Instead of storing their dishes away in cupboards and cabinetry, more homeowners are choosing to display them as part of the kitchen aesthetic. One way to do that is by using floating shelves, which are designed to be installed on a wall without showing any hardware or stabilizing brackets.

• Black countertops: The sleek look of black granite or quartz countertops has wowed homeowners. Many are choosing to pair it with white or light-colored countertops, but the beauty of black is that it can complement virtually any design.

• Brass, black and gold metals: In everything from faucets to cabinet fixtures, brass, black and brushed gold have become trendier than traditional silver.

Bathroom • Standalone tubs: Because they take up less space than a traditional tiled-in-tub, many homeowners are choosing to install a freestanding tub. This also frees up space

to create a luxurious modern shower.

Speaking of which …

• Luxury showers: When it comes to relaxing and unwinding after a tough day, showers are becoming more popular than bathtubs. Look for spacious showers that don’t include a traditional bench seat.

For information on these trends and more, visit the Affordable Companies’ Website for news, updates and photos of cutting-edge designs.
