Nephew charged with Heard’s murder

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Murder charges have been filed in the two-yearold case of Noblesville resident Dorothy Heard’s death.

On Oct. 15, the crime Grant County prosecutor charged Heard’s nephew, Donald Burns, with felony murder, forgery, theft and receiving stolen property.

Heard went missing on June Burns 13, 2011. A tip led Noblesville Police investigators to a rural area north of Marion on Feb. 9, 2012, where human remains were found, but conditions were such that no immediate identification was possible. Confirmed identification of the remains found near Mississinewa Reservoir was made using DNA. An autopsy determined Heard died sometime during the summer of 2011, when she was initially reported missing.

At that time, NPD Lt. Bruce Barnes said Burns was

a person of interest. Burns, an Elwood resident, was caught on surveillance video footage using Heard’s credit card to purchase hundreds of dollars in jewelry at a Wal-Mart store in Marion, just hours after she was last seen by other family members. Barnes said Burns also tried to pawn Heard’s wedding ring at EZ Pawn in Marion the same day.

On Jan. 17, 2012, Burns was charged with two counts of forgery and two counts of theft for the alleged actions on June 13, 2011.

Heard “She would not have given him the ring and credit card willingly,” Lou Ann Sylvester, Heard’s daughter, told Current in Noblesville in a previous interview. “I would like to know how he got them.”

Barnes said officers wanted to ask Burns questions about Heard’s disappearance after his initial arrest, but were unable to because he refused to cooperate with the investigation. At that time, Barnes said police believed Burns might have been one of the last people to have seen Heard alive.

RZ Automation to save $140,671 in taxes

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council has unanimously approved an Economic Revitalization Area tax phasein for RZ Automation, a company that specializes in automation for robotics in government industrial companies.

Noblesville Economic Development Director Judi Johnson said the sevenyear tax phase-in is on the increase in assessed valuation. This results from the construction of a 15,000-square-foot facility with a capital investment of approximately $1,750,00 at 150th Street in Noblesville Business Park, and purchasing new personal property valued at approximately $125,000.

“This tax abatement will help offset the higher costs of building in Noblesville and allow us the resources to accomplish planned growth,” RZ Automation President Tony Hillers stated.

The current employment at RZ Automation is nine employees. Johnson said the company projects hiring five new employees by 2017. RZ Automation is a 10-year-old enterprise that has outgrown its current space at 15223 Herriman Blvd. The average wage for the new five employees will be $65,000 with benefits.

Over the course of the seven-year tax abatement, RZ Automation will save an estimated $140,671. RZ will pay no taxes the first year and will gradually pay approximately $5,000 more each year until paying $30,320 in the final year.

The intersection of Hague Road and 196th Street was closed for the two weeks coinciding with Noblesville Schools’ the commute Fall Break (Oct. 12 through 27) to construct the remaining legs of a roundabout. Upon completion of this phase of construction, the intersection will reopen as a functioning roundabout. However, work will still be ongoing through November. Officials said the intersection is hoped to be completed by Thanksgiving.

Road closure The City of Noblesville and Hamilton County are partnering to close River Avenue between 160th Street and Ind. 32 this week. Hamilton County’s contractor will be doing preventive maintenance on the bridge over Cicero Creek and the city’s contractor will be completing warranty work.

Officials said access will be maintained to all homes and businesses through the duration of the project. River Avenue will be open from the north to local traffic from Ind. 32 down to 17090 River Rd. and to the south from 160th Street to 16567 River Rd. This includes Bannon & Son, Dove’s Nest Subdivision, Fink Dental, Hamilton Heart, River’s Edge Apartments, River Run Subdivision, Warren Auto, Westbrook Village, Westridge Subdivision and White River Can. For more information, contact the engineering department at 776-6330.

Exit reopens Milestone Contractors has opened the southbound I-69 Exit 205 ramp to 116th Street. The exit opens to an improved configuration that passes

under the new bridge carrying southbound Ind. 37 to I-69 and 116th Street.

The new configuration eliminates the former weaving traffic pattern in the southbound Exit 205 ramp system, which is intended to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow. The ramp system now has two lanes exiting to 116th Street and two lanes continuing to southbound I-69.

Southbound Ind. 37 remains restricted to a single lane south of 126th Street and there will be overnight lane restrictions on I-69 between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. as contractors work to complete the $18 million interchange improvement project by the end of this year.

Construction update – Work has begun at the Noblesville High School main campus and the freshman campus, the building that will become Noblesville East Middle School. The engraved bricks that were installed outside the main entrance when the NHS facility opened in 1996 have been removed and are being stored. They will be incorporated into a new design. Highlights of the current projects are: • At the main campus, concrete has been removed from the area that had been the main entrance; large windows are being removed from the old main entrance and the area is being closed in with a temporary wall; temporary partitions are being constructed in that area to separate a connection to the freshman/administrative addition.

• At the freshman campus, the retention area on the south side of the school is being reshaped to allow a significant building addition there; the concrete from the pool and deck area was removed and filled in during fall break. Foundation work has begun and that rerouting work, along with fencing at the northwest corner of the building, was expected to be completed during the two-week break.

Sheriff Mark Bowen is warning residents of another possible scam currently in progress in Hamilton County. On Oct. public safety 18, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by a Fishers resident who was the potential victim of a scam.

In the course of two days, the victim was called by different people claiming to work for the IRS. Deputy Bryant Orem said the complainant was told he had filed his taxes incorrectly for the past 10 years and if he did not pay a penalty, a warrant would be issued for his arrest. The complainant was asked to go to a grocery store and get a tax voucher to send money to the IRS for the penalty. If he did not comply a warrant would be issued for his arrest.

A different suspect later called the complainant and said he was an employee of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and would be issuing an arrest warrant if he did not comply. Orem said the complainant called the sheriff’s office and learned there was no employee with that name and no warrants were being issued.

“The Sheriff’s Office wants to warn the public that it does not issue warrants for tax issues

Dispatches Seasonal employees – INDOT is planning to hire approximately 25 seasonal employees for winter maintenance operations in the Indianapolis Subdistrict. Successful hires will work as full-time seasonal INDOT maintenance crew staff and will operate plow trucks during snow events. Seasonal employees will be paid $15 per hour and scheduled to work 37.5 hours per week. Benefits are not offered for seasonal positions, but seasonal employees will be eligible for overtime. Employment is expected to begin in November and last through April. INDOT is currently accepting applications until Nov. 7. For more information, visit www.jobs.indot.in.gov or call 1-855-463-6848.

with the IRS and will not call and threaten to arrest a citizen for tax issues,” Orem stated. “Any person that calls asking for money to be sent by wire transfer or some type of pre-paid visa card for any reason is more than likely a scam and to use caution.”

The IRS has been contacted regarding this matter and confirmed that the IRS will always attempt to contact a taxpayer by mail first. Orem stated it is very unlikely that a taxpayer will not know they have an outstanding balance prior to receiving a call. If a taxpayer receives a phone call from someone claiming to be calling from the IRS they should know the agency will never ask for payment to be made by a specific method or specific brand of credit card.

“IRS agents are strictly prohibited from being vulgar or abusive to taxpayers, any such behavior should be reported immediately to the treasury inspector general for tax administration.

If an individual is contacted by the IRS, they can always ask for the agent’s ID number or ask to speak with a supervisor,” Orem stated. “If there is any question about a taxpayer’s federal tax situation or if a taxpayer wishes to check if they have an outstanding federal tax debt they can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.”

Public feedback sought via survey – In order to learn more about residents’ thoughts and opinions regarding the community, the City of Noblesville in partnership with Vision Noblesville is mailing out a survey to 1,200 randomly selected households beginning Oct. 30. The city will be working with The National Citizen Survey to implement the survey and assess the results.

Officials said the purpose of the survey is to provide city leaders with the opportunity to learn what residents believe are the strengths and weaknesses of the community and of local government. This will be the second community survey conducted in Noblesville – the first was in 2010. Similar to the 2010 survey, this year’s results will also help provide guidance and insight for future city planning and projects. “The 2010 survey provided excellent feedback from Noblesville residents. We are looking forward to seeing the results of this year’s survey as well developing new programs and initiatives based on the feedback we will be receiving,” Mayor John Ditslear said. Postcards have been mailed out notifying randomly selected households that they will be asked to anonymously participate in the survey. Households that do not receive a mailed survey may still participate via an anonymous online survey at www.visionnoblesville.com beginning in early December. For more information about the survey, contact Cindy Benedict at 770-2007.

John Gilmore has converted an old church into a place for everything arts

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com On Aug. 23, Noblesville’s John Gilmore picked up his 1957 Gibson guitar and opened his vision - Logan Street Sanctucover story ary - with an open-house concert. Gilmore, a singer/ songwriter, revitalized an old church and created a family friendly venue dedicated to “everything arts.”

“Painters, pottery, poets – it doesn’t matter,” he said.

The 2,400 square foot building at 1274 Logan St. includes a performance area and pews that seat 80 people. The building has hosted six concerts already and provides an outlet for acoustic musicians looking to showcase their talents.

“My passion is songwriting. There are a lot of good local songwriters,” he said. “People don’t listen to you in a bar. This is a listening room and songwriters and serious musicians love that.”

Mindful of his surroundings, Gilmore said he won’t allow any events he wouldn’t want going on at his neighbor’s house.

“I’ve turned some people away because I just can’t have them here,” he said. “The loudest thing in the room easily is the piano.”

Gilmore, who is well known for his bluegrass and Americana music around town, began playing the guitar at a young age.

“I’ve played since the guitar was taller than I was,” he joked.

Having his own venue wasn’t Gilmore’s first thought. Instead he was looking for studio space and somewhere he could provide guitar and mandolin lessons. Gilmore first tried Nickel Plate Arts in downtown Noblesville.

“They were booked up solid and had a waiting list a mile long,” he said. “Then I thought about getting a piece of property and doing things there.”

Gilmore said it was “dumb luck” he stumbled across 1274 Logan St. “It went from studio space to a performance venue and gallery space,” he said.

When it was first built - circa 1900 - the building was an army barracks in Ohio. In 1938 Christ Lutheran Church moved it to its present location on Logan Street.

“It’s a plain, humble building. They must have been sentimental about it,” Gilmore said.

The modest building’s last tenant was a Pentecostal church that left three years ago.

“I thought it might be haunted,” Gilmore said. “I guess they left when they saw me coming.”

Gilmore purchased the building in April and has spent thousands of dollars renovating the space to become a performance venue, recording studio and gallery space. Besides rewiring and painting the inside, Gilmore is looking to update

Meet John Gilmore

• Age: 54 • Hometown/residence: Noblesville • Hobbies: Other than music, Gilmore loves his dogs • How he got into music: Gilmore was looking for a hobby. His parents were very supportive and bought him whatever instruments or equipment he needed.

• Favorite song to perform: “Pretty Bird,” a song he wrote • Personal motto: “I think everyone needs a creative outlet, and arts and music are just the best.”

John Gilmore stands beside a metal sculpture from Joanie Drizin out of Logan Street Sanctuary. Inside, Gilmore tries to help as many artists with performing and gallery space.

The building has already played host to six concerts since it opened.

Logan Street Sanctuary was formerly a Lutheran church and an army barracks before then.

the façade and create an exhibition area.

“It is pretty comfortable and fully functional,” Gilmore said, adding that because he is not eligible for grant money he is looking for help to cover operating costs. “I’m hoping to get teachers in here and out of their homes, to lure teachers to do recitals here and small weddings.”

In his gallery are works from local artists including Gabriel Lehman, John Reynolds, Bruce Neckar, Michael Janosky, Megan Hopkins, Aly Caviness-Gober, Nate Smith and Joanie Drizin, who has a sculpture outside the building. In its short time, Gilmore has sold three art pieces.

“I want people to be able to sell their paintings here,” he said. “I’m thrilled to be a part of that

network - an unofficial annex of Nickel Plate Arts.

There’s nothing like this as a performance place.”

Gilmore said the building also offers a studio in which to record demos.

“Part of wanting a place like this is getting the recording gear out of my house,” he said.

Gilmore, a retired mailman, said his passion is for music - not business. He received help from a number of community leaders to make his endeavor possible. After talking with Nickel Plate Arts Director Aili McGill, Gilmore spoke with former classmate and Noblesville Chamber of Commerce President Sharon McMahon. She suggested he talk with Noblesville Main Street President Renee Oldham, who, in turn, introduced

him to Noblesville Economic Specialist Alaina Shonkwiler.

Shonkwiler said Gilmore’s idea fit in with Mayor John Ditslear’s arts initiative for the city, which has an emphasis on downtown and Old Town.

Shonkwiler “It was a vacant space used as a church in the past in a residential area. It’s not something we usually work on,” she said. “Because of John’s interest and passion we realized there was a need and he could fill it. There was a grand vision for what he wanted to do … A smaller performance space, we don’t have a venue like that, especially in downtown.”

“It is wonderful to have a casual music venue within walking distance of the Noblesville square. It can add a fun, high-quality opportunity to local nightlife and because John is interested in granting such broad access to artists and musicians, it has the opportunity to become a really unique and highly-valued proving ground for local talent,” McGill said.

Shonkwiler said Logan Street Sanctuary is exactly what the name says - a refuge for local artists of every medium.

“He’s really been supporting other artists. He’s doing what he can,” she said.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP There’s no one but ourselves to blame

Hold your horses It is our position that recreational horseback riding should not be allowed on the Monon Trail. On a daily basis, a combination of more than 4,000 runners, walkers, bicyclists and rollerbladers struggle to exist in harmony while navigating a mere 10 to 15 foot wide asphalt trail. The proposed addition of horseback riders to the mix will undoubtedly stir up nothing but trouble on the trail. As the cowboy saying goes, “If it has tires, testicles or hooves, you are going to have problems with it.”

If a darting squirrel on the trail can cause a dog to flee, stroller to squeal and bike to skid, imagine the presence of a 1,000 pound animal in the middle of the bustling city who is happiest when running through a field and not confined to a slow gallop in a crowd.

Recreational use of paved public trails is an outstanding benefit and an extremely enjoyable attribute of living in the community. It is not unreasonable to pass an ordinance clarifying reasonable speed limits, rules of the road and cleanliness for the safety of paved public trail users. It is unreasonable to complicate the issue by letting the horse out of the barn.

All in the family Commentary by Terry Anker As much as some people like to complain about our imperial city, Washington, D.C., I tend to find it, like the European capitals it is designed to emulate, much like the American ethos. It is at once aspiring to what is perhaps an unattainable, maybe even mythological, desire to live an egalitarian utopia; and, it envies the grandeur and power of monarchs represented by rows of imposing stone buildings and the grand palais of the ruling classes.

The city itself is beautifully designed as a tourist attraction and a symbol of dominion. Work there can be challenging but the outsized salaries, luxurious benefits and abundant prestige more than offset the inconvenience of long commutes and extortionate cost of living. D.C.’s suburban communities in Maryland led to that state being named the wealthiest in America. But the mix of money and power, like chum in the water, tends to attract a certain kind of fish.

Overhearing a conversation about government spending in a D.C. restaurant between me and a

longtime but politically opposite friend, another diner determined to participate in our polite exchange. The interloper, apparently charged by a disagreement with his much younger female companion and likely one whiskey too many, ultimately expressed his frustration by saying, “You business people are all alike - you all think that government should be run like a business.”

“No,” I replied, “government should be run like we run our families.” Isn’t it possible to be fiscally responsible without lacking compassion? Isn’t it possible to match our desire to give with our ability to do so? Isn’t it as harmful to spoil as to starve? Can’t we share power with our spouse, find and even seek compromise knowing that ours is a shared course and that we are better served for traveling together?

Further proof that our government is way too big and incredibly out of control: What Were We Thinking? (Part I): No huge surprise to us, but members of Congress are routinely using campaign coffers as personal “slush funds,” according to “60 Minutes.”

They’re called “Leadership PACs” to fund trips to high-roller golf courses, NFL games and other destinations – and are even personally making money off the PACs by lending to them and charging steep interest. Perhaps we shouldn’t complain about it; we’re all guilty of putting these people in office. Don’t vote for any incumbent in the coming congressional elections. Wipe Congress clean on both sides of the aisle. Maybe a fresh start will bring a fresh approach. And maybe Santa will bring us everything on our list, too? We can always hope.

The private sector needs to own and operate it.

I’m in a scary mood these days Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Two days before Halloween, and what’s the scariest thing at our house? My bad mood. I am currently struggling through my sixth lousy day in a row thanks to sleep deprivation, hormones and a bit of anxiety thrown in for funsies. Sunday morning was typical of the last week: I yelled at my kids on the way to church, at church, and after church, despite my numerous Hail Mary’s for patience, and then lit into to my husband for raking leaves without consulting me. Did someone just drop a house on my sister?

My biggest issue is the not sleeping. I chalk this up to my “advanced maternal age” and perhaps a reduction in my thyroid meds. Stress is also contributing to my vampire-like nights, as work and chauffeur duties have become overwhelming. I wake up at 3 a.m. and can’t stop worrying about the logistics of life as a working mom. Between teaching 10 hours a day and driving four kids all of over the city every evening, I barely remember to shower. Forget about good parenting. I’ve been so exhausted by 8 p.m. that I am incapable of helping with homework or bedtime. Truly frightening.

Yesterday my youngest laid this one on me: “I forgot my school folder because you weren’t here to remind me! All the other kids have mommies who stay at home!” She even squeezed out

a tear, the little devil. I’ve been back to work for three years now, so I can’t totally blame my job for recent grouchiness. I actually enjoy going to school every day, even if it’s just to have a space to myself that actually stays clean after I leave.

However, working with 175 teenagers is exhausting; lately I’ve had little left for my own kids. Talk about the walking dead.

Honestly, I’ve even reconsidered pharmaceutical assistance. A few years ago I tried Prozac to combat the moodiness, but I didn’t like the flat feeling. I wasn’t depressed, but I can’t say I was happy either. But maybe flat is better than evil.

The good part is that like a werewolf, my transformation is temporary. By next week, I’ll be back to myself again. The hormones will chill, I’ll be able to catch some z’s, and life will look brighter. I just have to figure out how to survive until then without my children or Doo shipping me off to the asylum. Although, after six days of acting like the Wicked Witch of The Neighborhood, a “facility” might be the perfect place to enjoy Halloween. Peace out.

Chilly weather is perfect for chili Commentary by Mike Redmond

The recent change in the weather (it turned into autumn somehow) means it is time to once again discuss all things seasonal, starting with food. By that I mean chili.

I am what is politely (or perhaps humor non-politely) known as a chili-head.

This is another way to say I am extremely fond of chili and would eat it five nights a week if possible, saving the other two nights for ham and beans or chicken and noodles.

Why? Because chili is amazing. It takes a little from each of the major food groups - the meat group, the vegetable group, the hot sauce group and the grease group. For some, it also draws from the legume group and even (gack) the macaroni group. More about those mistakes in a minute.

First, let us concede that chili is very close to being the perfect food, especially at this time of year. It tastes good in almost every incarnation from mild to blazing hot. It warms you body and soul, as only comfort foods can. If you are the kind of person whose personal digestive plumbing has a limited capacity to handle chili’s ingredients, it can offer hours of evening entertainment until the rest of the family asks you to please step outside if you’re going to keep doing that. You can always blame the beans, which are a fixture in Midwestern chili. I used to think chili was incomplete without them until I went to Texas and had chili there. It was a revelation. I had been used to a tomato-y concoction

with plenty of beans (kidney, mostly) and now I was being presented with a bowl of red meat and peppers with just enough liquid to qualify as a stew. It was fabulous. I became an instant convert and for years preached fiery sermons in which I railed about imposter Midwestern chili and urged everyone to try the real thing, Texas style, sans beans.

I’ve modified my viewpoint somewhat and come back to an appreciation for Midwestern chili. I’ll actually go either way on chili now. I like to think of myself as coming down on the side of chili diversity.

I do have to draw the line at throwing in macaroni. It’s very common in Indiana. I think it probably began as a way to stretch a pot of chili to feed more people, and those who grew up with it thought chili should always have macaroni in it. Or they thought chili was supposed to bear a strong resemblance to Midwestern goulash, which is nothing more than bland chili with even more macaroni in it.

As the leaves turn and the air takes on a new coolness, give me what Will Rogers called “the bowl of blessedness,” a bowl of honest red chili, with a fistful of saltines on the side. Ah, chili on an autumn afternoon. It is blessedness indeed.

“Who was it?”

By Nate Albin

One stormy fall evening just before Halloween, Nate, J.T, and Colin were having a sleep over at Nate’s house. After playing outside, they started to watch the Arizona State – Oregon game. As they got comfy, a large boom was at the window!

They ran quickly to Nate’s dad, pushing each other out of the way.

“Dad! Dad! We heard a huge noise outside!”

“Maybe it was the Headless Horseman,” Nate’s dad said with a deep smile. “Turn around.

Go back to bed. It’s all good.”

A little less rattled, the boys turned around and walked slowly back to bed. Lights out.

Comfy. Asleep.

CRACK! BOOM! SMASH! Awake suddenly, they ran quickly, again, to Nate’s dad, pushing each other, again, out of the way.

This time, Nate’s dad wasn’t there.

“The Horror” By S. Robert Darbro “There are monsters everywhere!” gasped Linda French, her timid left hand trembling at her throat as she peered out the living room window.

“Please don’t talk of the neighbors like that, sweetest,” offered her husband Edgar from behind his hunting catalog. A horrifying realization emerged slowly. “Wait,” he yelped snapping his head to glance at the wall clock. The hands of the timepiece were clawing downward like a gravedigger’s spade unearthing an unholy terror.

“Oh no! It’s 5:30 p.m.! I never made it to the store to buy the candy!” Hyperventilating, he glared at the catalog, silently blaming it for his dalliance. He leaped from his chair and dashed for his coat. “Perhaps if I hurry I can return before the -” Edgar’s shallow hopes were murdered by the cold fright of the doorbell. “It’s too late! We are surrounded!” Linda shrieked. She hid her petri-

“We must go see what that is!” Nate said.

“But it’s unsafe!” Colin said.

“We might have this chance only once. I say we go for it!” J.T. said.

They got three flashlights. And when they got outside they felt the gusts of wind push them backward. The rain was so strong it was hard to see. Luckily it was just howling wind and pounding rain. No thunder. No lightning. But if there was no thunder and no lightning, where did the ‘crack, boom and smash’ come from?

The boys shined their flashlights into each other’s faces, and without saying a word, they turned and went down the muddy, slippery, steep hill into the woods.

Clonk-idy. Clonk-idy. CLONK! “That might be a good sign,” Nate said very, very quietly.

“Let’s keep walking!” whispered Colin.

“Its 11:45!” said J.T., and the three of them turned around and started walking back up the fied eyes behind her elbow, refusing to look at the dreadfulness gathering out the window on their front step.

Beyond the painted glass of the front door, ominous half-sized silhouettes swayed impatiently. Edgar knew he could never make it to the store before this motley group would cast judgment. He momentarily considered abandoning Linda and fleeing to the neighbor’s backyard tree fort. The doorbell chimed a second time, a grim toll foretelling of the coming nightmare that would soon befall their yard. Outside the door, the silhouettes had doubled. A miniature fist rapped at the glass. “Trick-or-treat, Mr. and Mrs. French. We know you are in there,” called out a disembodied and sinister pre-pubescent voice.

“They know we are here!” whispered Linda hoarsely. She fell to her knees weeping. “The yolk never washes off!”

Edgar made for the pantry in a hysterical gal-

muddy, slippery and very steep hill.

Swoosh! Swoosh! SPLICE! The sword of the Headless Horseman brushed right past the tops of their heads.

Yikes!

For the minute that they had to think, they needed to remember what they’d heard about the Headless Horsemen. Think … think… think…

“Hey, guys! Remember the old Disney version?”

“Quick, tell us! We can’t maneuver much more!” Colin exclaimed.

“We have to cross the bridge!”

“The bridge is very, very, very far away. We can’t possibly make it in time!” J.T. screeched.

“We will make it if we go … now! Go now!”

Nate screamed.

After a trip back home, they went straight to sleep.

When they woke up, they found Nate’s dad in the kitchen, “Ok, Dad, we know you dressed up.”

“What are you boys talking about?” lop, falling over the end table and Linda’s crocheting basket. “Don’t quit on me now, woman!” screeched Edgar in an eruption of spittle. In the pantry he tore edibles from the shelf in madness. The doorbell rang for a third time. Time was running out. At length, his sweaty hands found a grotesquely enormous tub of peanut butter that Linda had insisted on buying at the wholesale grocery mart. He wrapped his arms tightly around it, clinging to it like a life preserver. ‘Ants on a Log’ would be his salvation.

Linda was in fetal position shaking from fright on the living room floor. “Get up and start cutting celery! Where’s the raisins?!?” screamed Edgar but it was already too late.

As morning broke on November first, the horror of ghostly toilet paper floated like phantom death shrouds among the terrible gore of grotesquely smashed eggs upon the edifice of the French’s house and their premature Christmas decorations.

on May 29, 1913, at the Théatre des Champs-Elysées in Paris. The avant-garde nature of the work nearly caused a riot at the theater. The audience was bewildered by the outrageous costumes, strange choreography and bizarre story of pagan sacrifice. If that weren’t enough, the audience was truly tested

by Stravinsky’s innovative and groundbreaking use of rhythm. In the 100 years since, its originality has influenced many composers, becoming a model for modern masters as well as one of the most recorded works in the classical repertoire.

Tickets start at $20 and may be purchased at the Palladium Box Office, online at www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org, or by phone at 843-3800. Student discounts are valid through college age.

Expert tricks, tips for costumes Commentary by Jodi Morgan

As the head of special effects makeup at Indy Scream Park, I turn regular people into creepy characters like zombies, Halloween clowns and even zombie clowns throughout the Halloween season. In my position, I tend to get a lot of questions from family and friends about how to ensure a victory at their next costume party.

I thought I would share some tricks for fun costume and makeup ideas. Here are some of my most frequently asked questions: How did you learn how to do scary makeup?

I took some stage makeup classes when I was at Purdue University and have taken a few special effects makeup classes, but you can learn a lot of fun makeup tricks on the Internet.

There are tons of tutorials on YouTube.

Where do you buy Halloween makeup?

We use professional products at Indy Scream Park, but I also really like Party City. They have a huge range of reasonably priced products and makeup kits that are available year-round. You can also use regular street makeup in creative ways. There are lots of techniques that use random household products like Knox Gelatin and Elmer’s Glue.

What kinds of makeup tools are best?

We use a lot of brushes of all sizes for our makeup - from paint brushes to fine-tipped artist brushes - but we also use basic makeup wedges

and cotton swabs.

Where is the best place to buy Halloween costumes?

Again, Party City has a huge selection of ready-made costumes, but there are great ideas on the Internet. I love the website www.spoonful.com. They have lots of great costume ideas, including punny costumes. My favorite this year?

Cover yourself with foliage from the dollar store, add a string of pearls and a name tag that says, “My Name is Barbara” and you have … wait for it … Barbara Bush.

How long does it take to do Halloween makeup?

It can take as long as you want or need. At Indy Scream Park, our team has to make up 150 actors in two and a half hours. We have three to five minutes on average for each person. Don’t be afraid to wipe it off and start over if you don’t like how it looks. Baby wipes are awesome for taking off makeup. As I always tell my makeup students, start with less. You can always add more but it is really hard to take makeup away after it is applied.

I hope that I gave you some good ideas. Have a fun, safe, amazing Halloween!

Jodi Morgan is head of special effects makeup at Indy Scream Park, 5211 S. New Columbus Rd., Anderson.

“The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness,” said Hollie Nicholson, co-founder of GOTR Hamilton County and 5K run director. “That accomplishment comes in all flavors and everyone who participates - whether they run, walk, hop, skip or cartwheel across the finish line - is to be honored and congratulated.”

Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson has expanded the annual listing of nefarious financial products, practices finances and services that threaten to trap unsuspecting investors to include lurking dangers facing small business owners.

“With the delayed rollout of rules required by the JOBS Act, investors and small business owners alike must be on heightened alert for questionable Lawson investment offers and services,” Lawson stated.

Lawson said she is worried the recent lifting of an 80-year-old ban on the advertising of private offerings, mandated by the JOBS Act, will lead to greater abuse by unscrupulous promoters. The implementation of the JOBS Act also has created opportunities for unregulated third parties to provide ancillary services.

“Whether you are using a crowdfunding portal or an accredited investor aggregator, it is important to do your due diligence and to understand that use of an unregulated third party to provide such services does not change your obligations under federal and state securities laws,” Lawson stated. “Investors are not alone in their potential to be scammed. Using a fraudulent portal means both the business and the investor stand to lose.”

Know more – The 2013 list of the Top 10 financial products and practices that threaten to trap unwary investors and small business owners include: Persistent threats - private offerings, real estate investment schemes, high-yield investment and Ponzi schemes, affinity fraud, scam artists using self-directed IRAs to mask fraud, and risky oil and gas drilling programs; New investor threats – proxy trading accounts and digital currency; and New small business threats – capitalraising pitfalls and unregulated third-party service providers.

Lawson reminded investors to independently verify any investment opportunity as well as the background of the person and company offering the investment. The Secretary of State’s Securities Division provides detailed background information about those who sell securities or give investment advice, and about the products being offered.

“You wouldn’t trust your health to an unlicensed doctor, so why jeopardize your financial health by trusting your hard-earned money to an unlicensed broker or investment adviser?”

Lawson stated.

Dig a little deeper

Do you look outside of yourself to feel better and find worthiness? Do you think if I look better, make more money, have a bigger house, lose weight, drive a nicer car, relationships I would be happier and feel good enough? We live in a society that places value on appearance, material items, how much money we make and the cars we drive. We look outside of ourselves for worth and value. This truly is a black hole and a moving target. It ends up being an empty well that never gets filled up.

Everyone wants to feel like we matter, we are loved and important. Worthiness does not come from outside of you. It is an inside job. It has to come from within. If we spent more time looking deeper within, we can start to explore the blocks preventing us from feeling worthy.

Are you ready to dig deeper? Below are a few steps to begin feeling better about who you are: 1. Notice your pattern. What are you doing to gain worthiness? Are you placing a high value on external things or your image?

Awareness is the first step to changing it.

We can’t change what we don’t see.

2. Identify your negative beliefs. What are the beliefs you have about yourself? I am not good enough. I am stupid. I am ugly.

I am a failure. These are statements that

keep you from believing you are worthy.

They keep you stuck. When we identify them, we can begin to change them.

3. Change your self-talk. This truly does make a difference. Start telling yourself, “I am smart. I am beautiful. I am worthy. I matter.” No one else is going to do this for us. We are our own worst enemy sometimes. We treat ourselves poorly, which brings us down. We need to be lifting ourselves up.

4. Create meaningful connections. Research shows that when we have meaningful connections (even just one), then we feel more valued, loved and worthy. Step out of your comfort zone to reach out and make deeper conversations with others.

Get curious about who they are and what they feel passionate about.

5. Ask for help and support. Many of us were taught growing up that it is weak to ask for help. It’s actually the opposite. It represents strength and courage. A support network is essential to healing and growth.

It starts by reaching out. You are worth it.

No place for ‘between you and I’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Jordan, I’m laughing again about your advice to ‘avoid the double is unless you’re writing dialogue for a show about organized crime.’ Grammar grammar guy Guy, please never leave us who are chronically dismayed by the language lightweights, nimwits or numskulls. Once upon a time, I thought the cure could be listening to a recording of correct grammar versus bad grammar. Recently, I heard a highly successful leader misuse ‘between you and me’ (he said “I’). Is there ever a proper usage for ‘between you and I?’ (Barbara Purvis, Noblesville) Answer: Barbara, thanks for writing in. I like the idea of listening to correctional grammar recordings. I have noticed – and perhaps you have too – that hearing or reading grammar used incorrectly seems to have much more “stickiness” in the brain than proper grammar. After years of editing, there are words I never had problems with before that I now constantly have to double check, just because I’ve seen them written incorrectly so many times.

At any rate, what we have in the phrase “between you and I” is a simple subject-object pronoun mismatch, and it’s one that is always incorrect. The word “between” is a preposition,

and thus begins a prepositional phrase. We know that prepositional phrases require object pronouns like “him,” “us,” “them” or, in this case, “me.”

The tendency for some people to misuse “I” and “me” is due to a lack of confidence about subject-object pronoun rules. For example, a person might say “Jimmy and me went to the park.” They then get corrected (“It’s ‘Jimmy and I!’”), but the correction isn’t accompanied by an explanation of when it is appropriate to use “me.” The idea that “me” is somehow improper grammar gets internalized and “I” starts popping up where an object pronoun is needed.

Reflexive pronouns, as we talked about last week with “myself,” often experience a similar misperception as more “formal” pronoun choices.

To help build up that confidence, remember this: Prepositional phrases need objects, and that means object pronouns. Throw “between you and I” in the refuse heap. While you are there, if you see any other grammar garbage lying around, shoot me an e-mail. I’m always hunting down column ideas.

Confusing configurations stump even the seasoned Commentary by Vicky Earley

INDIANAPOLIS—October 16, 2013—Stephen J. Helmich, president, announces that Brother Ken Haders, C.S.C., has been named vice president for mission integration at Cathedral High School. As part of the leadership of the 95-year-old Indianapolis institution and a member of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Brother Haders will help reinforce and communicate Holy Cross values in the day-to-day life of the school.

Cathedral High School was founded by the Brothers of Holy Cross in 1918, the religious order created by Blessed Father Basil Moreau. The Brothers of Holy Cross are the first order of teaching brothers to be established in the United States. In 1842, the Brothers began the University of Notre Dame, and have been teaching in schools across the country and across the world since that time. In 2011, Cathedral High School formally re-affiliated with the Brothers of Holy Cross. Cathedral is one of 16 Holy Cross high schools in the United States.

For the 17 years prior to his coming to Cathedral, Brother Ken Haders was president of Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, Ohio. He held the same position at Holy Trinity High School in Chicago. Brother Ken is a member of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Midwest Province of Brothers. He has been provincial counselor with the Congregation, chief financial officer, delegate to the general chapter in Rome, and moderator of the district chapter in Ghana. Brother Ken earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from the University of Notre Dame in addition to a master’s in social administration from Case-Western Reserve University.

two cushions and two back support cushions.

C R Laine Furniture merchandiser Holly Blalock considers this a clean, quiet sofa style. It is a traditional silhouette that can offer updated features by the arm, leg and fabric selections.

Blalock points out that with fewer seats and backs, there are fewer visual breaks. Thus, the sofa has the opportunity to assume a more metropolitan look. The negative side to this configuration is that although the length is the same as a three-seater, if seating three, someone must sit where the cushions join.

The third configuration (and my personal favorite) is the bench seat. This is a sofa with one long cushion and no visual breaks. This removes the limit of how many can be seated if they don’t mind shoulders touching. The bench seat begs to be napped on, and Blalock pointed out that if the back cushions are removed, it can substitute for a daybed for guests. If a bench seat is selected, be prepared for a bit of maintenance. The long and often heavy cushion must be flipped periodically for the health of the sofa. The fabric will also pucker over time as the textile relaxes.

Knowing in advance how a sofa will be used will help guide your selection.

What is a sofa buyer to do? The possible configurations are sure to send even seasoned sofa buyers home with a headache.

Rather than lying on the decorating old sofa, feet elevated and a cold pack on that headache, trudge into that upholstered jungle prepared.

These befuddling configurations can be broken down in just three basic options.

First, and probably the most common, is the “Three Over Three” sofa. It is an easy choice for many because it offers three “sitters” the opportunity to have their own space without having to perch where the seats meet.

I was reminded at a recent seminar that the average upholstery textile has a 27-inch or smaller pattern repeat. The three-seater works well when a pattern is being selected. The downside is that with three seats there are quite a few visual lines and breaks, making for a bit of a choppy look.

As a designer, I embrace those lines and often make them part of the visual appeal by using a contrasting welt. This gives the sofa almost a pinstripe look.

Some of the traditional three-seater frames have not been updated over the years so there is the risk of having a sofa delivered that is dated before it enters your front door.

Second is what is called the “Two Over Two” –

Step back into 19th Century in Cuba Commentary by Donald Knebel With the increased availability of authorized “people to people” travel to Cuba, Americans seeking picturesque villages can find them in this hemisphere. Trinidad, Cuba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site faTravel mous for its Old World charm, also provides an opportunity to observe the practices of a mysterious New World religion.

Trinidad was founded on Dec. 23, 1514, more than 50 years before St. Augustine, the United States’ oldest city. Trinidad became rich trading in sugar and slaves needed on nearby plantations. A well-preserved central square surrounded by redtiled mansions reflects that golden age.

With the abolition of slavery, the trade that had supported Trinidad ended and Trinidad clocks seem to have stopped in the nineteenth century. Pastel-colored homes have open windows with only metal bars separating the room inside from the street. Donkeys pull carts down narrow cobblestone streets, pigs roast on wooden spits turned by hand and guitar players sing more for themselves than for tourists.

Slaves from western Africa carried with them the worship of gods (orishas) representing many aspects of their lives. Forced by Spanish masters to practice Roman Catholicism, they cleverly

merged their ancestral beliefs with those of Christianity. The resulting syncretic religion is called Santeria (saint worship) because practitioners worshipped the statues of saints, which they had re-identified as their orishas. Many Cubans still call themselves Catholics but practice Santeria at home, some with sacred African images painted on the backs of images of saints.

Some of the practices of Santeria are closed to outsiders, but others are on display in Trinidad’s unique Casa Templo de Santeria Yemaya, a combination museum and house of worship.

A blue and white altar pays homage to Yemaya, a goddess of the sea looking a lot like the Virgin Mary. A cigar-smoking Babalawo will, if properly motivated, explain the non-secret aspects of Santeria when not out back conducting services, including sacrifices, for believers.

If you want to see a colorful hillside village where tourists are the primary reminder of the 21st century, you have many choices. If you want to experience Santeria, to the extent an outsider ever can, Trinidad may be the best choice.

COLORS OF FALL Normally your fall wardrobe may consist of conventional autumn hues, chocolate and steel gray, but why not spice it up this season?

Each of the stylists on our special occasion team are trained in the art of updo’s and styling. They attend classes in and out of the salon to stay on top of the latest trends in wedding hair and makeup.

According to fashiontribes.typepad.com, you should think of colors such as blue iris or royal lilac when adding pieces to your autumn wardrobe. Other colors that can add some punch are a deep oxblood red and green.

Additionally, Salon 01 is different than most other salons because we have enough members on our team to accommodate wedding parties of any size.

Our stylists and estheticians know how important it is for everything to be flawless on your wedding day, so achieving the perfect look for you is not something we want to leave until the last minute. For this reason, every bride who chooses our salon for their wedding can receive both a hair and a makeup trial prior to their wedding day.

Salon 01 does nearly 100 weddings per year, and from this experience, we have come to understand several things. For instance, an hour of peace on the massage table for the mother of the bride (AKA an hour without her daughter’s day-of demands for crisis control) really does make a difference.

Also, you will realize that, yes, the groom’s hair will need a touch-up after he Also, the groom's hair may need a touchup after he tries to save some cash by going elsewhere for a really cheap haircut, but got what he paid for. This is the simple stuff that Salon 01 can take care of so you don’t have to.

WEAR IT: NUDE NAILS Nude colored nails are a great way to look polished without being overdone. We recommend finding a color that is slightly darker than your natural skin tone. Before you start, be sure that any leftover polish has been removed so you have a nice, clean slate. Prep the surrounding nail area with a cuticle cream to clear up unwanted hangnails, then swipe clean with a touch of nail polish remover. File nails in a “squoval” shape; meaning square with rounded corners. Be sure to use a base coat and top coat to get longer lasting wear. Rather not mess around with all the prep? Schedule your appointment for a manicure at Salon 01. Choose from our regular natural nail manicures or a Shellac manicure with gel polish that lasts up to 2 weeks with no chipping!

Schedule your consultation now, or contact our talented Bridal Director, Sarah, at bridal@salon01.com for more information.

Keep fresh this fall! And, of course, nothing enhances your wardrobe like a fresh haircut and dimensional color!

Replacing kitchen peninsula with new island

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing kitchen: This home is located in the College Park addition on the northwest side of Indianapolis. Their 1970’s kitchen lacked the functionality modern Blueprint for families are looking for improvement these days. After four and a half years of living with outdated appliances and poor flow, the owners were ready to remodel. “The kitchen was very outdated, and the peninsula cut things off,” stated the homeowner. “There was very little cabinetry storage.”

Design phase: The design team was focused on functionality. The designer stated, “Center islands are preferred now over peninsulas, as they allow for movement throughout the space rather than pooling people into one area. Storage is also a large consideration. Filling available space with well-designed cabinetry easily increases storage capacity.”

New island: The new island needed to compliment the footprint of the original long and narrow kitchen space. By curving the end of the island where the kitchen table was previously located, the homeowners were able to have both an eat-in kitchen and a large work area. Extending the island also added more base cabinetry for their storage needs.

Perimeter cabinets: Salvaging the original perimeter cabinets required some creativity, as

Before the specifications for modern appliances have changed over the last 40 years. The trim carpenter modified the cabinet under the new cooktop to fit a 27-inch wall oven. The original cabinets were painted and updated hardware was installed. The desk area was replaced with the refrigerator and surrounding cabinetry. According to the homeowner, “The desk area trapped all of our mail and junk. I really like all of the new storage space.”

Final fesult: New appliances, a striking glass tile backsplash, granite countertops and undercabinet lighting provide the finishing touches for this newly configured kitchen. Like many other

After homeowners, it is the little things that make these homeowners the happiest. “My favorite part is the outlet at the end of the island. Being able to have that extra prep space in the kitchen has made using my kitchen so much more enjoyable.”
