District exploring new start times

DISPATCHES Swapping schools - Sheridan Community Schools Supt. Derek Arrowood is leaving his post to accept the same position at Hamilton Heights School Corporation. Arrowood, a 1986 graduate of Heights, will replace Tony Cook, who will be retiring from his post on Dec. 31 after 41 years in education. Arrowood will begin his new job on Jan. 1. He will be paid $120,000 annually with a contract that runs through June 30, 2017. Arrowood was a former teacher at Noblesville Schools and Cook was principal of Noblesville High School before becoming superintendent.

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com In an effort to save money, Noblesville Schools is looking at the possibility of changing school day start times to reduce the number Education of buses needed to transport students. Director of Transportation Rick Gadberry said the district is looking at moving from a two-tier bus system to a three-tier one.

Currently the district’s high school and middle school students have one start time and elementary students have another. With a three-tier system, start times may vary from school to school and not across grade level.

“No schools in the area have a true three-tier plan,” Gadberry said, adding it is being used across the nation.

Gadberry presented three options of the threetier system which will require the middle and high schools to not start at the same time. The same is true for all elementary schools.

“We can’t have all of the elementaries go at the same time. We have to divide elementaries somehow,” he said. “We don’t want to have people coming in the dark or going home in the dark.”

Noblesville Schools Supt. Libbie Conner said the district has discussed moving the high school to a later starting time.

“We were looking at adjusting start times even though we were on a two-tier system,” she said.

“Start times have always been a concern, it defies research.”

In financial terms, the fewer buses that run the less money the district must pay to replace those vehicles every 12 years. Gadberry said the district currently has 113 buses. The three three-tier options decrease the number of buses needed to 86, 96 or 98.

“We’re losing money in funds because of tax caps.

We absolutely have to find a way to cut our costs,” Conner said. “It’s a major money saving initiative.”

Conner said a bus costs $122,000 each. Plan F, which requires the most buses, would save the district $1.8 million.

“We’re taking money from other funds to propup the bus replacement fund,” she said. “With the bus operating fund we don’t expect to have huge savings.”

Conner said the next step is for the district calen-

dar committee to look at the proposed school start times. Public forums will be held later this fall before a recommendation is brought to the school board.

T-shirts are $10 and available in youth, ladies’ and men’s sizes. For more information, visit www.L4416.org.

Club helps members discover city

By Patricia Griffin Mangan news@currentnoblesville.com

Like many other members of the Newcombers’ Club, Susie Fintz, 50, relocated to Noblesville to be near her family.

“As a new resieveryday people dent to Noblesville, I was looking for a way to get to know my community and meet new friends,” Fintz said. “The club met both of those needs and I made lots of friends who I would have not known otherwise.”

Some years ago the organization was known as the Welcome Wagon. There are chapters in many cities as a way to become familiar with new friends, businesses and the community in general.

“Our mission is to promote fellowship for the newcomer and other interested persons in Hamilton County,” said Fintz, the clubs’ president for the past three years.

The club provides various avenues of interest such as a lunch and dinner club, a book club, Bridge and Euchre club and even a Bunco club.

Monthly meetings take place early in each month on a Monday evening at the First Presbyterian Church, 1207 Conner St. A nominating committee meets yearly to find new blood, as many members who held office want others to take over and assist with the organization’s activities. Sometimes illnesses prevent members from attending activities but

other members visit and call them, send cards and let them know they are missed.

“While we are not a fundraising organization, we support civic and charitable projects with small monetary donations raised from our membership dues,” Fintz said.

The club has guest speakers at their monthly meetings on different topics of interest, including social and civic issues. Afterward, members take turns hosting with refreshments so attendees can chat and get to know one another.

Fintz said she has come to know her town very well since moving to Noblesville and especially since serving as president of the club.

“Next year I would welcome a new president by giving her the opportunity I have enjoyed but will continue to be active in our club,” she said.

The coolest backyard ever – Natural Light Patio Covers There’s nowhere anyone would rather be on a beautiful summer day than the backyard deck, in a comfortable chair, sipping a cool drink. And yet, this idyllic scenario can so easily be spoiled if the sun is too hot and too direct.

There are dozens of solutions to block the sun, but nothing is as effective or rewarding as a Natural Light Patio Cover.

Imbued with almost magical qualities, the covers block all U.V. rays and 75 per cent of infrared rays, while letting through most of the light. The result is a cool setting that is still filled with natural light. There isn’t a giant solid awning casting a shadow not only on the deck but on the room behind the adjacent windows.

There isn’t a large umbrella that has to be folded down every time the wind picks up. And there isn’t a retractable sunshade that has to be cranked into position every time someone wants to sit outside.

Natural Light Patio Covers use Acrylite panels to filter out heat and U.V. while letting the light shine through, to create the perfect patio atmosphere. They can be attached to homes to cover decks and patios, or built as stand-alone covers detached entirely from the house.

They are permanent structures, engineered specifically for the Indianapolis climate to take the wind and snow without buckling or showing signs of wear. The see-through panels do not discolour or show any effect from U.V. rays. In short, they are the perfect way to ensure your backyard experience is ideal all spring, summer and fall for many years to come.

“We can even build enclosures to create three-season rooms,” says Cory Clapper, the Indianapolis sale consultant of the covers. “People have all sorts of uses for this technology,” he says. “We can build almost any kind of structure to fit in with a backyard plan.”

The Acrylite comes in two-foot wide panels that can be as long as 24 feet. Glazing bars between them provide structural support and can be formed into a single slope or cathedralstyle ceiling.

“When you look up through the panels, they are a sky blue colour,” Clapper says. “It’s like you’re looking at the sky.”

The aluminum structure itself comes in four colours and all Patio Covers include eaves troughs just like the roof of a house.

“The manufacturer guarantees the engineering of the panels, which are made in Germany, for 30 years not to fade or discolour, and has a 10 year warranty against hail damage,” Clapper says. “So, people can expect their covers to last 30 years or more. It’s a quality product.”

The structures are not inexpensive, but Clapper uses an integrity pricing system that keeps costs as low as possible. He provides free estimates and plans to run several open houses in London this summer, inviting interested homeowners to tour houses where he has installed a Patio Cover already.“When people see them and feel how cool they are standing there in the bright sunlight, they are amazed,” he says.

The company’s website features several options and configurations and as well as testimonials from happy customers who are already enjoying their Natural Light Patio Cover this summer.

Angel of Hope breaks ground

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

With the turn of four shovels, the three-year-old dream of one Noblesville family came true on Sept. 17. Joined by local officials, Kirk Forbes broke ground on the Angel of coming soon Hope memorial in Noblesville’s Forest Park.

Forbes said the memorial garden is “to help all parents in our community who have lost children.”

“It has begun,” he said, pausing. “This is the most important project I’ve worked on in my life, hands down.”

There are 118 Angel of Hope memorials in the United States.

Indiana has six with the closest one in Hendricks County.

“Our vision is a quiet and healing place where parents and families can remember their children. A memorial to children who once played here. Though they are absent from our lives and our community, they will be remembered for many years to come,” Forbes said.

Forbes said the $125,000 project has received $45,000 in cash and pledges since fundraising began in July. Three companies - Gaylor Electric, Daystar Boring and Beaver Materials - are providing in-kind donations. Forbes said there are still several items needing financial support including the base, $9,000; two of seven trees, $500 each; nighttime lighting, $2,500; seven of eight landscape sectors, $600; and memorial bricks, $100.

“This is going to be especially beneficial for the community,” he said. “You see it in their (parents and family members) eyes.”

Forbes said the project will begin ground preparation in midOctober. The Angel of Hope statue and base will be set in April and a formal dedication is planned for May. “The Noblesville Parks Board and Don Seal have been incredibly supportive in this project. I cannot say enough good things about both groups,” Forbes said.

Seal, Noblesville Parks director, said the memorial was something different for the parks system.

“It’s an appropriate use for a public park,” he said. “The more we looked at it, we understood the feeling of how important Forest Park has been for their families. It became obvious this was the place for it to be.”

Seal said the original proposed location for the site was close to Forest Park Aquatic Center but the sounds from traffic on Ind. 19 led organizers to move locations. Seal said its current location is more secluded.

“It’s highly underutilized area of the park,” he said, “and reasonably quiet.”

Don Jellison, a 1955 graduate of Noblesville High School, will lead this year’s Homecoming parade as grand marshal. Later the same day, he will be inducted into the NHS Athletic Hall of Fame. Jellison has been a part of the Noblesville journalism community since his high school days. His only hiatus was Jellison a two-year stint at the Richmond, Ind., newspaper while he was a student at Earlham College.

Throughout most of his more than 55year newspaper career, Jellison’s passion was high school sports. He has no idea how many NHS sporting events he has covered over the years, but guesses it must be thousands. Jellison has been a regular in press boxes and behind scoring tables since his early days as a sportswriter for the Noblesville Ledger.

Executive Director of Learning Annetta Petty said the two PLTW courses are capstone Petty courses that complete four-year sequences in pre-engineering and pre-biomedical studies.

Advanced manufacturing I continues the program in manufacturing and logistics and merchandising and is a companion course to the marketing and entrepreneurship class.

What’s next: The 10 new AP courses will be available for students in 2014-2015.

What’s next: Rolfson said it will be approximately two more weeks before “any real work on sites begins.”

Action: Teacher contract for 2013-2014 school year What it means: Supt. Libbie Conner said effective and highly effective rated teachers will receive $500 on their base salary - equivalent to a 1 percent raise.

Next year’s two-week breaks are: Oct. 13 through 24, fall; Dec. 22 through Jan. 5, winter; and March 30 through April 10, spring.

Stephanoff

What’s next: The first day of school is Aug. 4 and the 20142015 school year ends on June 3.

What’s next: Officials plan to collect bids and bring them back to the school board at the October meeting.

Action: Course name changes What it means: In order to comply with the DOE’s approved course titles, two NHS business deptartment course titles must be changed.

Noblesville Youth Assistance Program seeks to correct, prevent problems

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program has expanded to Noblesville. Piloted in Westfield in 2009, YAP cover story strives to build a healthy community for tomorrow by extending a helping hand to the youth of today through family assistance, tutoring and mentoring. These programs are available to qualified children needing assistance. YAP was expanded to Noblesville in January and plans are in the works for programs in Fishers and other areas in the state.

“It’s a very exciting program that has taken off like wildfire,” Hamilton County Circuit Court Judge Paul Felix said. “Hopefully, we’ll move it around the state because of its value to the children, family and Felix community.”

Felix said Indiana spends $1.7 million a day on the prison system. He said adults aged 18 to 25 accounted for 32 percent of all felonies filed in 2011. If you removed Class D, the lowest felony charge, that number increases to 39 percent.

“It’s so important to get to our children and families before they come into the judicial system,” he said.

Hamilton County Superior Court 1 Judge Steven Nation was instrumental in starting the program that focuses on Nation preventative services for the city’s youth rather than using disciplinary measures and adjudication.

“It was the interest of the community that brought it to Noblesville. We can’t do it without the commitment of all the components of the community and government,” he said.

Nation said many youth feel they are not part of the American Dream anymore and the program helps students see success in their life.

“They take control of their lives - with work hard you can succeed. They correct themselves now,” he said.

“This program has helped many youth and families in Westfield, and I am excited about the positive impact it is going to have on the lives of kids in Noblesville,” Mayor John Ditslear said. “It helps them appreciate what they can become.”

The goal of NYAP is to help children and families identify, coordinate and take advantage of services or programs in Hamilton County or the

Members of the Noblesville Youth Assistance Program Board of Directors show the $10,000 check from Mayor John Ditslear to support the program’s startup at the Noblesville School Board meeting on Aug. 20.

surrounding areas. The program is voluntary and children are referred to the program by police, school counselors or other agencies. Early Intervention Advocate Joy Petty said her role is “triage of coordination of services.”

“I spend a couple hours with the family to know them and their needs,” she said, adding Petty each case plan looks really different. “We’re connecting them with the resources Noblesville has … Families don’t know where to go and what Noblesville has. They just don’t know where to start.”

The program assists referred children ages 3 to 17 years old and their families. The youth will be evaluated and placed in programs based on specific needs. Some examples are mentoring, tutoring, camp and recreational opportunities, counseling and anger management classes.

“Even on the worst days, you walk down the hallway and see a child you know. It’s worth it to see their face,” said Petty, who worked 15 years as a high-risk probation officer in Hamilton County.

Petty said 1:1 tutoring was piloted at Nobles-

ville West Middle School in February. In October; plans are to expand the tutoring program at Noblesville East Middle School and begin taking referrals from the Noblesville Police Dept.

“We’re seeing success in the schools,” Felix said. “Attendance is better and they are getting better grades. Students are going from F’s to B’s.

Their life turns a whole other way.”

Parker, an eighth-grade student, began using the tutoring program last school year and is a part of it again this year.

“It’s made a difference for me. I don’t always have a parent at home to help me,” he said.

Before the tutoring program, Parker had poor grades, including an F in language arts. At the end of the 2012-2013 school year, Parker made the A/B honor roll.

“It feels better than getting a really low grade like last year,” he said, adding the extra time helps him better understand the materials. “It’s helpful not just for me but other students. When I grow up I think I want to be a tutor as well.”

Frankie Fehsenfeld, a 1999 NHS graduate, has been Parker’s tutor for the past seven months.

“It’s very exciting, very rewarding,” he said.

“Showing up and spending time with him, so much more than tutoring happens. We talk about

life and decision making. Tutoring is our door into the people’s lives.”

Fehsenfeld, who coordinates the mentoring and tutoring program, said NYAP needs tutors and mentors which require one hour a week for a year.

“The academic load is much harder than we had in school,” he said. “These kids really need help, help to navigate the waters.”

The Noblesville Youth Assistance Program is a collaboration of Noblesville Schools, city, police department, Boys & Girls Club, Hamilton County courts, Promising Futures, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, prosecutors office, Noblesville Township Trustee’s Office and YoungLife.

Early Intervention Advocate Joy Petty said NYAP is asking for the public to support the program by volunteering in various capacities including tutoring or mentoring students, helping to coordinate and work at events and fundraisers and be behind-the-scenes volunteers.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

NextGear steps up for Chaucie’s Place

Reading is fundamental It is our position that reading is fundamental. This editorial page is inflicted with the constant droning of the value of the exercise.

Perhaps it reflects the echoes of an undeniably successful advertising initiative from our youth that hummed – reading is fundamental.

Perhaps it simply suggests a universal truth.

But, studies since that time have indicated the value and impact of the activity.

Yet today, research shows that only a handful of high school graduates ever pick up another book - through the entirety of their lives. Likewise, about half of college graduates ever bother to push their way through a single new book. How can this be? Should it be? Ours are communities ripe with literary opportunity.

So if we have a veritable banquet of literature at our disposal, why is it - as the famed character Auntie Mame might declare - that most poor SOB’s are starving to death?

We are surrounded by opportunity to commune with authors past and present; yet we run from books like some unappealing household chore we wish to avoid. Embrace reading.

Bring it into our households. Make it cool. The benefits to body and mind are measurable.

And, we will all be better for it.

That’s the way it is Commentary by Terry Anker We live in an age where assurance in our institutions has reached an all-time low. Church, government, school and commerce each face its own crisis of confidence. While it is impossible to test the hypothesis that we are approaching some cataclysmic moment never before transcended - as there are few polling results from ancient Roman, Egyptian, Mayan or Imperial Chinese times - it is clear that we no longer carry the confidence in these existing power structures.

Is this kind of critical thinking all bad? How would we have advanced as a civilization if we’d asked Walter Cronkite when he proclaimed at the end of each newscast, “and that’s the way it is” just who had determined the finality of his remark. Should we have inquired what authority decided which news to fit into the 20 minutes or so of regular content on the evening program?

If the show is divided into news, weather and sports – how many minutes of relevant information are we actually getting? And if there are

only 8 minutes or so to report on the important stories happening, can’t we likewise assume that someone - Cronkite or his producer - is making choices as to which topics get the attention brought by a national discussion?

Routinely, readers of this humble column ask why a particular topic made the page and others did not. I appreciate and enjoy the feedback.

But with so little space and time to opine, there is much more left unsaid than is said. Could the same be true for these institutions? Should we be challenging them to be responsive to our interrogatories? Is it better to ask the uncomfortable questions rather than simply walk away losing respect for what seems to be a loss of relevance? We’ll never know unless we take the time to ask, “if that’s the way it really is.”

You might have heard about the windfall Chaucie’s Place received last week, when NextGear Capital stepped in to fill the funding gap for the construction of Chaucie’s Place’s proposed training room. The room was necessitated by increased demands for Chaucie’s Place’s programs, which tells multiple stories about the horrific acts perpetrated on those in our midst and the effectiveness of the programming at the facility. We salute NextGear for its largesse and leadership in the community. Chaucie’s Place is a non-profit child advocacy organization that focuses on the prevention of child sexual abuse and youth suicide with prevention programs for children and adults in Hamilton and Boone counties. NextGear not only applied for funding for Chaucie’s Place through Companies With A Mission Indiana Service Challenge, from which it obtained $5,000, but the company also chipped in $16,000 needed to complete the training-room project. Chaucie’s Place says a number of other companies have committed to the project, offering their services with electrical work, painting and even donating classroom furniture. Construction, which is being managed by Envoy, should begin in October and be completed by the end of the year. (Those wishing to provide support or learn more about Chaucie’s Place prevention programs should visit www.chauciesplace.org.). And speaking of funding, we sincerely hope you will join us at the Treasure Our Children Beach Bash on Oct. 10 at Ritz Charles in Carmel. “Surf’s up” at 5:30 p.m., and the promise has been made to “clear the beach” by 9:30. It’s a tremendously fun evening, with a luau buffet and “appropriate” beachside beverages, as well as silent and live auctions.

Dani, get your gun

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Listen up, people. I have officially channeled my inner Annie Oakley! That’s right, per the recent change to my New Year’s humor Resolutions (the part of Painting Yellow Family Room will now be played by Learning to Shoot a Gun), I sweet-talked my husband, Doo, into to teaching me how to discharge a firearm. Not that he required much cajoling – he’s a deer-hunting junkie and attends the NRA fundraiser each year. Suffice it to say, Doo was absolutely thrilled to “learn me some shootin’ skills.”

We packed up our weapons and headed out to a friend’s piece of property up north. (It just wouldn’t have gone over as well had I taken aim in my backyard … children playing tag, Labradors retrieving balls – can y’all say “incarceration?”)

We’d scoured the city for ammo the day before, only to realize that people are hoarding .22-caliber bullets. (Apparently I’m not the only one preparing for the apocalypse, zombie or otherwise.) That left me with only two options to try, a 12-gauge shotgun and a thirty-ought-six rifle. Now I’m not a wimpy girl, but I do favor my right shoulder, and told Doo that under no circumstance was I going to shoot something with a bruise-to-the-bone kick-back. He patiently suggested the shotgun.

After donning my protective eye- and earware, which I made look amazing by the way,

Doo gave me a thorough lesson on loading and unloading, and of course the obligatory “how not to shoot your eye out” demonstration. My moment of truth had arrived. Noticeably shaking, I raised the gun, aimed in the general direction of a woodpile 25 yards away, and pulled the trigger.

BAAM! An orange clay pigeon disintegrated. Yeehaw! I can shoot! And then I sunk to my knees as the adrenaline surged through me. Holy howitzer, that was scary.

“Again!” Doo ordered, sounding suspiciously like a dojo master. So I stood up, reloaded, fired, and watched a second bird bite the dust. This time, I felt powerful. I’d like to see some lootin’ jerk try for my last can of beans now!

Sensing my increased confidence, Doo nodded toward the big daddy. Bring. It. On. Ten minutes later, I was lining up the cross-hairs of the rifle on a distant bulls-eye. Ka-Boom! “Oooo-uuchhh!”

Not only had my delicate elbow been driven back across a splinter-laden picnic table, but my girly shoulder had taken the full recoil of the shot. I did not care for the sensation.

Humbled, I went back to the 12-guage. And guess what, folks. This Annie Oakley can check another resolution off her list. Boo-yah! Peace out.

Getting a little culture

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

There’s a commercial on TV where Jamie Lee Curtis turns to the camera and reveals to viewers that she is having an “affair” humor with Activia yogurt. This is either a great way to get a yeast infection or an effective way to avoid one. I have no idea which it is. I’m a guy.

The Greek yogurt company Chobani recently got some really bad press coverage when it was revealed their product had some really bad coverage - mold, to be precise. I thought yogurt was already part mold. Or is it bacteria? Fungus, maybe? Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.

The founder of the company, Hamdi Ulukaya, perfected the recipe for Chobani based on his belief that everyone, regardless of income or location, deserved access to delicious, high-quality yogurt. Except for the delicious part, he says the same thing about health care.

The last yogurt scare in the news was a year ago when a New Jersey firm withdrew salmonella-infected mango yogurt cups from Wawa stores in four states. Like the first moon landing, it was one of those pivotal events - you know exactly where you were when you first heard about it.

On Chobani’s Facebook page, some yogurt aficionados expressed their dissatisfaction with the product.

“Unnervingly fizzy,” said one.

Foot Euphoria Better than a day spa massage for half the price!

CASTLETON - (317) 570-7055 6348 82nd St., Indianapolis, IN

Just east of Castleton Square Mall between Target & 82nd St., behind Formosa Seafood Buffet.

AVON - (317) 271-6800 9655 E. US Hwy 36, Avon, IN Across from Panda Express next to Pho 36 & McNamara Florist.

“Tasted like wine,” complained another.

“It had a kick to it,” opined a third.

So I’m thinking, what’s the problem here?

Many of the postings are snarky, not befitting yogurt fans who should be more cultured. Comments like: “Chobani is not as sweet as most yogurts, but after a while it grows on you. Literally.” And, “This is the most unique yogurt ever produced. When they made it, they threw away the mold … well, on second thought …”

Ulukaya would not reveal how many complaints they had, but he did say “it was not in the hundreds of thousands.” This brilliant PR response was written for Ulukaya by the same guy who told President George W. Bush to say, “Mission accomplished.”

By the way, Ulukaya is not from Greece, and neither is his yogurt. It’s made in upstate New York. Their plant was an old Kraft factory that once made jalapeño string cheese, the only product that Kraft ever recalled because it tasted like it was supposed to.

So that’s it for all the controversial news in yogurt this week. I didn’t mean to alarm you but I like to stir things up. That’s why my favorite yogurt is Dannon Fruit on the Bottom.

Sutton Foster to treat Palladium audience

By Jay Harvey • news@currentnoblesville.com

Bringing her time-tested solo show to central Indiana for the first time doesn’t mean Sutton Foster is entering unfamiliar theatre territory. This is not a case of a Broadway diva trailing glitter from the Great White Way into the drab hinterlands before quickly beating a path back to the East Coast.

You could ask the Ball State University community about that. The 38-year-old Broadway star has taught theater and dance students in Muncie for several years, culminating in her being awarded an honorary doctorate from the university in May 2012.

“I hope it will be a lifelong relationship,” said Foster in a phone interview last month just before she began a three-week engagement at New York’s Café Carlyle leading up to “An Evening With Sutton Foster” at the Palladium on Oct. 5.

“I’m teaching a Skype course now with their seniors; we’re in the second week of online interaction. And the week after my Palladium show I’m going up there.”

Presented by Actors Theatre of Indiana, Foster will be accompanied by Michael Rafter, her musical director, at the piano for her Palladium performance. The solo show is a work in progress, shaped with a view toward coming up with her third solo CD. Rafter and Foster also

collaborated on the first two: Wish (2009) and Sutton Foster: Live at the Carlyle (2011).

“It’s been really fun,” she said. “A lot of it is about discovery and new songs. At the Palladium I think we’ll be doing some songs for the very first time that we just started working on.”

Born in Georgia, Foster was enrolled in a dance class at age four as a way to channel some of her excess energy, as she recalled in the commencement address she gave to the class of 2012 at Ball State.

She sort of happened into theater at age 10, landing the title role in a community theater production of “Annie.” That’s when the show-biz bug bit hard, and her theater emphasis throughout her school days bore fruit soon afterward.

The break came when she was tapped for the title role in “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” a stage version of the Julie Andrews film, which became a much-laureled Broadway hit in 2002.

As acclaimed as she’s been for her actingsinging-dancing skills, Sutton harbors a desire to do more dramatic roles, though she can’t divulge what’s in the works. This interest stems from her respect for acting. It’s the one part of their career preparation, she tells music-theater students, that should be the strongest.

“That was my problem at first: I had a lot of energy and a lot of volume and a lot of chutzpah,” she told me. “I could sing loud and impressively, but singing is a bunch of noise and dance

is a bunch of movement. Ultimately you have to be a great actor; without anything behind the sound, it’s meaningless.”

The acting focus is partly why Foster regrets the cancellation of “Bunheads,” the ABC Family series that ran from June 2012 until February with her in a leading role. Critically wellreceived, its end felt premature to just about everyone involved, she said.

“It came down to an interesting thing for me: learning about the TV world,” Foster said. “The show and the network weren’t quite the right mix; it was different from the other shows they were producing.”

When it’s time to move on, Foster has learned, you seek out new opportunities with a willing spirit. The two most important bits of advice she had to share at Ball State seem to have helped her thrive: “Cultivate personal relationships” and “don’t be a jerk.”

Auction added to boat and RV show

9101 Moore Road, Zionsville | 733-1700 | TradersPointCreamery.com

Jack Everly has worked for many years to extend the reach of symphonic pops music in both its marketing and artistic theatre aspects.

The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s pops maestro, who also holds corresponding positions in Baltimore and Ottawa, Canada, knows the thrill of conducting hugely popular holiday concerts as music director of two big annual broadcasts on PBS, “A Capitol Fourth” and “National Memorial Day Concert.”

But he also creates and conducts concert programs in cooperation with other orchestras under the Symphonic Pops Consortium, which produces theatrical pops concerts that have racked up more than 250 performances here and in Canada during the past 12 years.

The latest is “On Broadway with Kander & Ebb,” a tribute to the great Broadway musical team of John Kander and Fred Ebb. Everly will lead the ISO and five young veterans of the musical stage in the show’s premiere at Hilbert Circle Theatre Oct. 4 and 5.

Everly credits Kander and Ebb with extending the legacy established by such classic teams as Rodgers and Hammerstein and Lerner and Loewe.

“They continued the evolution of musical theater,” Everly said. “(They) continued to push the envelope right up through ‘The Scottsboro Boys.’”

That 2010 musical was well received by critics and garnered many Tony Award nominations, but it closed after relatively few performances. It stages the story, of nine black teenagers unjustly accused of rape in 1931 and tried in a hostile atmosphere in Scottsboro, Ala. The innovations of Kander and Ebb burst into the public consciousness with “Cabaret” (1966), which presented a different kind of story from what Broadway audiences were accustomed to.

Cabaret is set in Berlin during the fragile Weimar Republic, when tough economic times combined with the rise of the Nazi Party made seedy entertainment an alluring escape.

Everly, whose tribute will focus on “Cabaret” and “Chicago,” paints the picture of what made Kander and Ebb so innovative when “Cabaret” was new.

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra • Who: conducted by Jack Everly, with guest soloists Beth Leavel, Nick Adams, Ted Keegan, Jessica Rush and Nikki Renee Daniels.

• What: Tribute program to the songs of John Kander and Fred Ebb. • Where: Hilbert Circle Theatre, Indianapolis.

• When: 8 p.m. Oct. 4 and 5.

• Tickets: 639-4300

“You walk into the theater, and you see a big mirror facing you, so you see yourself before anything else,” Everly said, setting the scene.

“Then the ‘Cabaret’ sign lights up, fades out, and then in comes the creepiest guy you can imagine with rouged lips and a white face - that was Joel Grey - telling you that life is a cabaret and that’s where you are. Oh, my heavens, you realize what that means.”

Here are Everly’s soloists for his Kander-Ebb tribute production: • Beth Leavel, who received several awards (including a Tony) for “The Drowsy Chaperone” and three major nominations for her performance in “Baby It’s You.” • Nick Adams, who has been honored for his dancing on Broadway and has a wide range of national theatrical credits on his resume.

• Ted Keegan, who has played and sung the title role in “The Phantom of the Opera” on Broadway and around the country.

• Nikki Renee Daniels, whose most conspicuous recent Broadway appearance was as Clara, the character who sings “Summertime,” in the revival of Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess.”

• Jessica Rush, currently in the role of Lorraine in the Broadway production of “Jersey Boys.”

Unpack your adjectives at Civic

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will bring the pop culture hit “School House Rock” to life on the stage Sept. 25 through 28.

For those of us old enough to theatre remember sitting in front of the TV on Saturday mornings learning about a lonely “bill sittin’ on Capitol Hill,” and “Naughty Number Nine,” the show will be a trip down memory lane (as well as a handy refresher on the difference between adverbs and adjectives).

But for a new generation of learners, this interactive musical theatre field trip is actually as much about education as it is entertainment. It even fits within the parameters of the academic standards of the Indiana Board of Education’s K-12 common core requirements.

For the youth who see it, it will be a rousing, colorful romp through some fairly complex subjects including social studies, math and grammar.

“It’s truly fun for kids of all ages,” said Brent Marty, director of music and education at Civic Theatre. “While it’s primarily targeted towards kids, adults will enjoy it too, and the SaturMarty day afternoon performance will fit right into the International Arts Festival. People can take an hour and see the show.”

During the International Arts Festival, members

Included in the group will be young members of Hamilton County Special Olympics, who participate in Act One through a new partnership with Civic Theatre called Perfect Harmony.

The theatre has produced “School House Rock Live” several times and audience members will recognize actors Lincoln Slentz, Claire Wilcher, Craig Underwood, Diane Tsao Boehm, Rebecca DeVries McConnell and Phillip Armstrong from various Civic Theatre productions and other local theatre companies.

Bicentennial Train ready to roll news@currentnobleville.com

After a five-year hiatus, history will once again hit the rails as the Indiana Historical Society, in a unique collaboration with The diversion Indiana Rail Road Company and Norfolk Southern Corporation, launches a four-year run of the Indiana Bicentennial Train and its on-board exhibition, The Next Indiana. The Bicentennial Train will travel to four stops in the fall of 2013—Kokomo (Sept. 2628), New Haven (Oct. 3-5), Valparaiso (Oct. 10-12) and Delphi (Oct. 17-19).

“Getting the train on the tracks takes an extraordinary effort on the part of our staff and partners, but the train and its associated activities are sure to generate a lot of enthusiasm for the bicentennial,” John A. Herbst, IHS President and CEO, said. “It is designed to have communities look to the past, and then contemplate Indiana’s future and what qualities will make us more successful.”

The Indiana Bicentennial Train consists of three 65-foot renovated Amtrak freight cars and features a free traveling exhibition, The Next Indiana (designed by the IHS exhibitions team).

Originally known as the Indiana History Train, it has welcomed nearly 58,000 visitors at 24 stops in communities across Indiana from 2004 to 2008.

The Next Indiana exhibition features more than 400 images that give visitors a look at Indi-

The Indiana Bicentennial Train was formerly named the Indiana History Train from 2004-2008.

ana’s past, present and future.

But the society has more in stock for The Next Indiana and Indiana Bicentennial Train visitors, including an activities tent and a Creativity Commons tent at each stop. These temporary “depots” provide activities, games and presentations for all ages before and after visiting the main attractions.

The Bicentennial Train and its accompanying activities are all free and open to the public, operating 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, and every visitor will receive a complimentary pass to visit IHS’s Indiana Experience at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center. Group reservations are available by calling (317) 232-1882 (space is limited). For more information on the Indiana Bicentennial Train and other IHS programs, visit www.indianahistory.org.

What To Expect: Parenting Coordination A recent, positive trend in Indiana family law cases, as well as several other states, has been the application of a parenting coordinator in high conflict situations. Typically a mental health professional or a lawyer, a parenting coordinator or “PC” is an individual appointed by order of court and charged with managing on-going issues between parents (and others) in cases with constant and substantial disputes involving child custody and parenting time issues. Either party may petition the Court to appoint a parenting coordinator or if the concur that their situation would benefit from the involvement of the PC, the parties can submit an agreement to appoint one, including selecting the PC. What is a PC’s role? The Order of the Court will have considerable detail as to the extent and limitations of the duties of the PC. Depending on the level appointed, the PC may have the ability to act as a communication facilitator, an ongoing mediator and even, essentially, an arbitrator. As a general rule, the PC cannot modify the court order. For example, the coordinator may recommend a different weekly parenting time schedule, however, does not have the authority to modify the amount of time each parent has with the child(ren). All recommendations of the PC require approval of the Court to go into effect and each party has the opportunity to contest these before the judge, if desired. As the goal is to help the parties effectively co-parent and address issues which may arise from time to time, the parenting coordinator typically meets with both parties regularly, receives day-to-day questions and complaints about any aspect of a party's conduct, gather information from outside sources (schools, doctors, counselors, etc.) and works with the parties, first looking for a consensus or at least a basic agreement. If this is not successful, the PC may

choose to inform the parties of what the PC believes is in the best interests of the children in the hopes of pushing the parties to an agreement. Last, the PC may submit their recommendations to the Court if no agreement is possible There are several levels of authority in Indiana for PCs. A Level III Parenting Coordinator is the most frequent choice, holding a high level of authority and may make binding recommendations to the parties on the issues presented for consideration. A binding recommendation may only later be set aside by a Court Order after one party formally objects to the recommendations by filing an objection with the Court.

Further, parties should be mindful that the parenting coordinator can later testify in court about the non-compliance or other issues which may arise during the sessions.

How much will this cost? Parenting Coordinators are most often attorneys and charge parents for the time involved in addressing the issues presented. The typical Court order will have the parents sharing the costs such that they are both “invested” in the process. As part of their authority, however, the PC may have the ability to reapportion costs if one party’s lack of cooperation is clearly a primary issue and the source of a disproportionate amount of the costs.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Understand your parents’ feelings Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley Q: I am concerned about my mother having a facelift. She is 57 years old and I am her 24 year-old daughter. aesthetics I know lots of people have facelifts but that is them and this is my mother. I am concerned about its safety and I don’t want anything to happen to her. Like me, my brother and sister don’t understand why she wants this surgery.

dispatches Twilight Trail Run & Walk – The 2nd Annual Riverview Hospital Twilight Trail Run & Walk will bring together competitive and recreational runners and walkers of all ages for a run/walk through beautiful Strawtown Koteewi Park, 12308 W. Strawtown Ave., Noblesville, on Sept. 28.

The five-mile (competitive run, 13 minute pace minimum) and 2.25-mile fun run/ walk courses will wind through one of the most scenic parks in Hamilton County – past fields of native prairie grasses, under tree canopies ablaze with color and long the banks of the White River. Cost is $20 for pre-registration and $25 day of registration. Each person will receive a t-shirt, race bib, timing tag and refreshments. Shirts on race day are limited and shirt size is not guaranteed. Onsite registration begins at 4 p.m., and the races will start at 6:30 p.m. An award ceremony will immediately follow the event. To register, contact Tuxedo Brothers at 733-3300 or visit tuxbro.com. Event festivities and activities include entertainment for the entire family, vendor booths, park tours, archaeology and activities, along with food and refreshments.

children don’t understand or approve of them having elective surgery over something they view as unnecessary. While there may be some understandable medical concerns, most of the apprehension comes from what I often say. “When you don’t have the problem, you don’t see the need.” When one is young and invincible, it is hard to imagine that one day aging and body changes will come knocking. When you develop that sagging neck and jowls or those love handles and stomach that won’t go away no matter what you do, you may have a different perspective on the merits of plastic surgery. I would respect your mother’s desire to look and feel good for herself. A good self-image knows no age limits.

UNITED WAY’S FOCUS ON

Monday through Friday, Justin Graves makes an early commute on the Hamilton County Express to his job in Carmel.

IN HAMILTON COUNTY

Justin has been a utility clerk at Kroger for eight years, hired through Noble of Indiana’s Community Employment Service.

Launched in 1986 as the state’s first supported employment service for adults with developmental disabilities, the program helps individuals explore their career interests and skills and matches them with a job. They benefit by becoming more independent and financially self-sufficient, while the company gains a hard-working, dedicated employee.

In the same way that Kroger counts on Justin, our community counts on United Way to be just as reliable in meeting the needs of Central Indiana residents. One of its top priorities is helping individuals become self-sufficient by providing the support they need to earn a livable income.

Before coming to Kroger, Justin held three other jobs, but none were able to offer him the full-time hours he needed to provide for himself and his grandmother, Maxine.

Building on the experience he gained at his previous places of employment, Kroger saw his potential and gave him the hours he needed to become independent.

Justin is responsible for bagging groceries, collecting carts and stocking items. His outstanding level of customer service has earned him praise from Kroger customers and colleagues, alike. According to his supervisor, “Justin is as reliable as gravity. He wants to work hard and make people smile. I wish I had a whole store full of Justins!”

In the last year, Noble has helped over 100 individuals with disabilities find jobs. And, through a broad range of employment services, these individuals earned a cumulative $2.24 million: money that goes back into our local economy.

Through your support of United Way, organizations like Noble are fueling the success of Central Indiana.

EXTENDED? STILL TIME FOR 401(k) - Self-employed persons who previously filed an extension can fund their solo 401(k) as late as Oct. 15 and still have it be deductible for tax year 2012. The maximum contribution is 20 percent of the person’s net self-employed income plus up to $17,000 in salary deferrals plus $5,500 in catch-up contributions. The maximum 2012 contribution limit is $50,000 (or $55,500 with catch-up contributions).

The proprietor would have had to adopt the 401(k) plan in a previous year, however, to be able to make contributions now for 2012. That’s because 401(k) plans have to be opened before Dec. 31 of the year in which you want to make contributions. Self-employed persons who don’t already have a 401(k) plan can still make retirement savings contributions through a SEP-IRA. SEP-IRAs can be adopted and funded as late as Oct. 15 for the previous year. - about.com

ABOUT THOSE GAMBLING LOSSES - “I just lost a bundle in Vegas, but it’s OK - I’m writing off the loss!” Don’t bet on it. When it comes to writing off gambling losses on your income tax return, the IRS is very strict. Every year the IRS receives tax returns from people who claim their gambling income is minimal while their gambling losses are huge.The IRS has a simple rule for gambling losses: Taxpayers can only claim deduction on losses equal to or less than their winnings. For example, you win $500 gambling, but you lose $1,000 in gambling in the same year. Under the rule, you can only claim up to $500 (the amount of your winnings) in losses on your tax return. A word of caution: Gambling income and losses are among the favorite red flags that the IRS looks for when ordering an audit. If you do write off your gambling losses, be sure that you have all your paperwork to back up your claims. - tax.findlaw.com

6. Ignoring local tax laws: In some states, investors cannot carry capital losses forward to future years. On a federal return, a capital loss in one year can be used to offset gains in a subsequent year. But capital losses without offsetting gains in a current year are lost for state tax purposes.

7. Failing to consider a Roth IRA conversion: When a traditional IRA is converted to a Roth IRA, tax is due on the converted amount in the year of conversion. If, for whatever reason, an investor will have low income in a year, this is an ideal time to convert and settle the tax bill on this money at a significantly lower rate than is otherwise expected in the future.

8. Failing to realize capital gains: Low income in a given year can provide an opportunity to save taxes. Long-term capital gain tax rates are progressive; rates increase as taxable income increases. For taxable incomes up to $72,500, joint taxpayers pay no tax on long-term capital gains.

9. Improperly calculating the cost basis for MLPs: Given their unique tax structure, a large portion of a typical Master Limited Partnership distribution is tax-free. This tax-free distribution is considered a return of principal and should therefore serve to reduce the cost basis.

In this case, ignorance may be bliss because the reduction in basis would result in a higher capital gain at sale (unless the IRS comes knocking).

10. Allowing a pension plan to become non-compliant: There are a number of actions or inactions that can put a plan’s qualified status in jeopardy. Oftentimes, an investor will establish a plan with a brokerage firm, and then assume that the brokerage firm is taking care of the ongoing regulatory requirements, including the filing of IRS Form 5500.

Riv er R d

Investing is a complex undertaking. The supply of investment alternatives is seemingly endless.

Evaluating various alternatives can be quite difficult and very time consuming. Here are the top 10 tax mistakes made by investors according to a survey conducted by financial-planning.com: 1. Short term vs. long term gains: Realized gains on appreciated securities held for one year or more qualify for favorable tax treatment. Longterm capital gain tax rates are significantly lower than short-term rates. Holding a security longer can significantly reduce the tax burden.

2. Foreign stock investments held in a tax-qualified account: Most foreign companies are required to withhold foreign taxes on dividends paid. U.S. investors can claim a tax credit on their tax returns, effectively recouping this lost dividend, but only if the foreign stocks are held in a taxable account.

3. Gold and silver held in a taxable account: Gold and silver are treated as collectibles and therefore are not eligible for capital gains treatment. The federal tax for long-term gains on collectibles is 28 percent.

4. Sale of appreciated securities by elderly investors: The cost basis of appreciated securities is “stepped up” to the current market value upon the death of the owner. Prospective capital gains and related taxes disappear. Conversely, all prospective capital losses will be lost.

Elderly investors should consider being quick to sell stocks with losses and slow to sell stocks with gains.

5. Generating excess unrelated business income in a tax-qualified account: Certain investments, such as Master Limited Partnerships, generate unrelated business income. These investments belong in a taxable account. If they are held in an IRA or other qualified plan, and if the Unrelated Business Taxable Income, or UBTI, is greater than $1,000, then the investor must complete and file a rather complex Form 990 and pay additional income tax.

With 2,415 pended sales in August in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 18.6 percent compared to Real estate this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, August pended home sales rose 3 percent above August 2012, an increase of 71 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Seven of the nine counties reported increased sales compared to August 2012.

Though August pended home sales slipped slightly in Hamilton County, sales are still trending upward for the first eight months of 2013 compared to the same time period last year.

• In Hamilton County, overall year-to-date home sales climbed to 4,849 - an increase of 842 homes compared to the same time period last year.

• August home sales in Hamilton County dipped 4.7 percent to 484 homes - down 24 homes from August 2012.

• Specifically in Noblesville, 111 homes pended in August, an increase of 29.1 percent compared to August 2012.

• Available homes are spending less time on

the market in Noblesville. For the first eight months of this year, homes spent an average of 75 days for sale. During the same time last year, homes spent 103 days on the market.

• Sales prices are also up in Noblesville. Last month, the average sales price rose to $205,164 – up 4.4 percent from August 2012.

• Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month one was priced more than $2,000,000, four were priced $500,000 to $999,999, 21 were priced $300,000 to $499,999, 19 were priced $200,000 to 299,999, 53 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and 13 were priced at $99,999 or less.

As we move further into the third quarter, we remain encouraged by the direction of the market in Central Indiana. Across the region, home sales and home prices continue to grow as the inventory shrinks - necessary factors for market stabilization despite a few fluctuations that sometimes occur.

Telecommuters, are you covered?

Question from Trent R. from Noblesville: My office allows me to work from home when I need to. Are there any insurance Insurance issues I need to worry about?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: If you have an ongoing arrangement that allows you to work at home in any capacity, you will be considered a telecommuter. The special privilege of reduced commuting also brings some special insurance considerations in play.

Bringing your work home with you can have some unintended consequences. The main reason is because most homeowners policies severely restrict or exclude coverage for business property. This is further complicated by the fact that business property is usually pretty valuable. Business Property could include anything your employer provides for you to work at home including computers, printers, phone equipment, valuable paperwork, etcetera.

Liability issues can also arise when you’re working from home. A typical homeowners policy will completely exclude business related losses.

A social guest slipping and falling is a simple, and common, claim that your homeowners policy will cover. Switch it around and make that guest a business guest and you can have liability issues for you AND for your employer. Liability claims are never fun, but they’re a lot less fun when your homeowners policy excludes them.

Using your personal vehicle for job-related activities, like making deliveries or client calls, can also cause some issues. Most personal auto policies exclude job-related use. Driving to and from work would not fall under job-related use.

Some examples of job-related use would be: picking up a client at the airport, running to the store to restock the office vending machine, driving to and from client appointments, etc.

Now that you have a better idea of what you should be worried about, you should take a minute to document what you do so your employer and your independent insurance agent can make sure you’re covered properly. Make note of the following: • What routine job duties do you perform in your home?

• Are any tasks hazardous?

• Who visits your home because of your job?

• Is a certain part of your home dedicated as a work area/office?

• What equipment is used in your job? Who owns each piece of equipment?

The answers to these questions will be a great start for you and your independent insurance agent to make sure you are adequately protected.

Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

Locating the Burning Bush

Commentary by Donald Knebel

Visitors to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula can explore one of the world’s oldest monasteries, housing what is claimed to be the burning Travel bush in which God first appeared to Moses. They can then ride a camel up nearby Mt. Sinai to see where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments. But both the bush and the mountain may be in the wrong country.

Exactly where God met Moses has never been clear. One passage in the Hebrew Scriptures locates the site on Mt. Horeb. Such uncertainty over Biblical places was unsettling to Roman Emperor Constantine, who accepted Christianity in about 312 A.D. So he sent his mother, Helena, to the Middle East to determine where events in the Bible occurred.

Helena returned claiming to have found the cave in Bethlehem where Jesus was born, the spot in Jerusalem where he was crucified and the still living bush in Egypt where Moses met God. Constantine ordered a chapel built around Helena’s bush and sixth century Emperor Justinian surrounded the chapel and its famous bush with St. Catherine’s Monastery, now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Over the years, at least three mountains near St. Catherine’s have been designated Mt. Sinai.

The current bearer of the name was selected in the sixteenth century based on a tradition of the local Bedouins, who now run the camel rides.

St. Catherine’s Monastery (Photo by Don Knebel)

Muslims, who also believe that God delivered his laws to Moses on Mt. Sinai, call this mountain Jebel Mūsa, the mountain of Moses.

Skeptical scholars say Helena made a big mistake. They note the Bible locates Mt. Sinai in an area called Midian, which, unlike the Sinai Peninsula, was never part of Egypt. They claim that Mt. Sinai, if it exists, is probably a volcano in Saudi Arabia.

For visitors to Sinai, whether the mountain called “Mt. Sinai” has anything to do with Moses may not be that important. Following the narrow path toward the summit on the back of a camel is a unique and exhilarating experience in its own right. St. Catherine’s, in addition to its bush, holds some of the oldest existing manuscripts of the New Testament.

The ‘double is’

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Thank you for attempting to restore a tiny corner of our language culture. I fear that our language is being lost to lazy meatheads. Your column in grammar guy Current gives me hope.

In the interest of addressing butchered English, I bring to your attention ‘the double is.’ ‘The double is’ most commonly occurs when inartful people flail at beginning a sentence and try to grasp at a parenthetical expression, resulting in, “The thing is is that …”

Another frequent variation would be, “What it is is that … “ The combination of the parenthetical expression and the actual sentence results in two sequential ‘is-es.” Other examples abound.

Please consider providing the readers with your thoughts on the ‘double is.’ Thank you.”

(Mike Shaver) Answer: I think you’ve gotten us most of the way there already, Mike, but I’d be happy to elaborate a bit further.

I found a very interesting article published

by Cambridge Journals tracking the rise of the “double is,” or “double copula,” out of America in the 1970s and 1980s. The author, Dwight Bolinger, claimed that “is is has slipped past the wardens of correct usage” and was becoming popular at all levels. This, written in 1987, seems to have been a prescient statement.

Getting down to brass tacks, though: The

double copula is always nonstandard, and is grammatically incorrect if used following an independent clause.

Let’s look at a quick example of an independent and dependent clause with a double copula.

Independent clause: “The truth is, is that I’m tired.” We can clearly see in writing that a double “is” serves no useful purpose in an independent clause. Why this has become a convention for some English speakers, I have no idea.

Now a dependent clause: “What the truth is is that I’m tired.” Here, “what the truth is” forms a dependent clause serving as the subject of the sentence. The clause encapsulates the first “is,” necessitating a second verb. While this is a nonstandard form, the argument could be made that the double copula is used as an intensifier, or parenthetically to refer to a previous statement (Maybe something like, “What is the truth behind going to bed so early?”). It isn’t grammatically incorrect, per se, but it is awkward and can often feel as though a speaker is stumbling through a sentence, as you’ve pointed out.

My advice: Avoid the “double is” unless you’re writing dialogue for a show about organized crime.

THE ONE SALON FOR MEN & WOMEN

®

HAIR • SKIN • NAILS • MASSAGE • SUNLESS TANNING BY VERSASPA

TRY THIS LOOK! We think a sultry, smoky look for your eyes is a great way to go glam for an evening event.

Follow these steps to achieve this look: 1. Prep your eye area by applying a touch of concealer to your upper and lower lids. Set the concealer with a brush of loose powder.

2. Line your eyes with a firm eye pencil.

“Stay as close to the base of the lashes as possible,” says Salon 01 Makeup Artist Kelly Lohrman. Once lined, use your finger or small brush to gently smudge the liner up towards the creases of your eye. For a dramatic and bold effect, repeat on your bottom lash line.

3. Set the liner with another swipe of translucent powder again. This will also soften the effect and keep the liner from smudging.

4. Add a dark, matte eye shadow to the lids, blending toward the creases. Pick black for a traditional smoky eye, or use a color like green or purple for a more modern look.

5. Don’t forget to finish off with a couple coats of volumizing mascara.

For more makeup tips and for help finding the makeup shades that are right for you, stop in Salon 01 for a makeup consultation and lesson.

FALL STYLE This Fall, it’s possible to look chic and feel comfy at the same time. The math for this win/win equation is so simple that you won’t even need to dust off your Texas Instrument. Volume on top + Fitted on bottom = Fashion 101. If you can remember this, you’re golden.

The simplest way to achieve this look is with a pair of leggings. Going the legging route leaves you with more options than you might think. While the simple black cotton leggings are certainly a fan favorite, you can easily go for grey or colored ones instead.

Pair them with anything from a chunky cable knit sweater, oversized cardigans or boyfriend blazers.

When choosing accessories for this look, know that the old “less is more” adage no longer applies. Make a statement with your jewelry by choosing pieces that will stand out from your outfit, not just silently complement it. Shop vintage to snag some unique oversized bangles and over-the-top necklaces.

For more up to the minute style advice visit our blog at www.salon01.com/blog.

STRAIGHTEN UP FOR FALL After sporting beach waves this summer, straighten out with a stylish and sleek ‘do. Part hair down the middle and work in a styling crème, such as Salon 01’s “Straight & Smooth”, through damp hair. Blow dry straight and part down the side or middle. If necessary, go over face-framing pieces with a straightening iron.

When straightening hair, keep in mind that your look should be polished, yet natural. Going overboard with a straightener is a no-no.

Illuminating the master bathroom Commentary by David Decker

In a previous column we discussed the steps and considerations that go into creating a beautiful lighting scheme for indoors your master bedroom. Let’s take things a step further and investigate some solutions for the master bathroom.

Because the two rooms are so interconnected, the goal is to create lighting that flows from one room to the next.

Many homeowners install recessed ceiling lights above the mirror, which works just fine.

However, you will get a more even light cast on your face if you are able to install lighting on the sides of the mirror instead of above. The second place that requires task lighting is the shower area. A dedicated feature will help illuminate the entire shower, and the extra light will make it a more energizing place, should you choose to begin your day there.

In the bathroom, ambient light often has to act as a stand-in for natural light, since very few bathrooms have many windows. Mounted ceiling lights are the most common type of ambient light source found in bathrooms. You might want to make a bold or luxurious statement by selecting a pendant or chandelier fixture instead.

Either way, you may want to install dimmer switches on the ambient lights to help you set the mood for a relaxing bath or shower after a long day of work.

• Free Admission • Entertainment on 2 stages Accent lights can add just as much flair to a bathroom as they can to the bedroom. Decorate your vanity or countertop with a small, stylish table-lamp, or install a recessed spotlight in the shower to illuminate the mosaic tile floors.

You’ll be amazed in the way that welldesigned lighting can transform the look of your master bathroom. Find out for yourself what kinds of designs are on the market today and get planning.
