At the February Zionsville Town Council meeting, the council approved an increased budget for the Zionsville Business Architectural Review Committee.

The committee will see a $25,000 budget increase from 2013, from $50,000 to $75,000.

This money is granted to small business owners in an effort to help beautify Zionsville’s downtown. These funds come from the town’s food and beverage account.

Former recipients of these façade grants include Lowder Insurance, which received $11,108 in 2011, and Cobblestone Grill, which received $12,723 in 2013.

This year, the committee has already approved a $25,550 grant for the Villagio restaurant. A pending grant of $34,308 is appropriated for the 305 S. Main St. building that will soon become Scoops Ice Cream and Gelato.

“I thought [the committee] needed to get more,” said Councilwoman Candace Ulmer, following the council’s approval.

Councilman Steve Mundy said this is a great program to help Zionsville’s businesses thrive.

“It’s very worthwhile,” he said. “But you don’t want to spend all your budget on one project.”

Mundy recommended the group move from its previous 50/50 matching program to a leaner budget of granting perhaps 30 or 40 percent to a project, to give money to more businesses instead of just one or two each year.

The façade grant application currently states, “The façade grant program provides matching grants of up to 50% of the project cost for qualifying projects with no maximum cap.”

It also states that these grants should be used to provide a pleasing aesthetic for business owners and consumers, but that these are not maintenance grants.

To be approved, these grants must “encourage the enhancement of historic or distinct architectural features.”

Steve Schwartz, owner of Ballerinas and Bruisers, has made many connections with his customers through the years, but charity none compares to a recent chat with a customer. It was from this one conversation that the Wrapped in Love diaper drive was conceived.

While speaking with Dr. Chuck Dietzen, founder of Timmy Global Heath, Schwartz learned of the dire conditions many families at the Benjamin Bloom Children’s Hospital in San Salvador, El Salvador are forced to endure.

Dietzen had just returned from El Salvador on one of his many mission trips. He observed patients’ parents reusing disposable diapers because they are both unaffordable and often unavailable.

Schwartz recalled the story he heard with sadness.

“He was a little disturbed at what transpired there. It was moms wringing out their disposal diapers so they could reuse them. And there was a little boy sitting at the entrance of the hospital with a diaper that had to have been three days full,” Schwartz said.

Currently, disposal diapers in El Salvador cost $1, when most of the families there earn, on average, $1 to $4 per day.

Schwartz’s heart went out to these families, who inspired him to organize the Wrapped in Love diaper drive to benefit the People Helping

Wrapped in Love diaper drive Accepting donations of disposable diapers in ANY size and gift cards toward the purchase of new diapers from Target, Meijer or Costco Dates: Feb. 15 – March 1 Drop-off locations: • Ballerinas and Bruisers: 180 S.

Range Line Rd., Carmel Benefiting: People Helping People Network, www.phpnetwork.org, and the Benjamin Bloom Children’s Hospital in San Salvador, El Salvador

People Network and the families of the Bloom Children’s Hospital in El Salvador.

“I was thrilled with his reaction,” said Dietzen.

“It is great when you have people in your own community whom you can come home and tell what you experienced, and have them grab onto it and say, ‘We’ll [help].’”

Both Ballerinas and Bruisers in Zionsville and SoHo Café and Gallery in Carmel will be collecting packages of disposal diapers from Feb. 15 through March 1. Patrons can also donate gift cards from Target, Meijer or Costco to purchase diapers.

The People Helping People Network will send the diaper donations, along with a larger effort to bring urgent medical supplies to Bloom Children’s Hospital in El Salvador. The goal is to fill one large shipping container to be sent in mid-March.

Weaver moves to Anson

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Anson will see a flood of new job opportunities for Zionsville and Whitestown residents this year with the opening of Meijer, Business and now with the proposed opening of Weaver Popcorn Co. Weaver Popcorn Co. is a Noblesville-based company that plans to move into a new research and development facility in the up-and-coming area of Anson. The company expects to spend $18 million to make improvements and buy equipment for an existing site that overlooks Interstate 65.

Having operated for more than 80 years, the

company stated that it would move 50 corporate jobs from Noblesville to Anson, and add more than 40 full-time jobs.

Most of these new positions will be in the manufacturing department and will pay an average of $22 an hour.

Bryan Brackemyre, executive director of the Boone County Economic Development Corporation, has recommended that Whitestown offer Weaver a personal property tax abatement that would save the popcorn maker more than $1.2 million over 10 years.

The site is expected to open by mid-May. For information on how to apply for jobs at Weaver, visit www.PopWeaver.com.

The stable for the Gregory House was located at 420 W. Hawthorne St. The owner, Frank Gregory, created the blocks used to build the stable.

Many more of these blocks can be seen on buildings in Zionsville. The stable was built in 1905 and remodeled in 1939. It was turned into a home in the 1970’s.

School Board of Trustees update news@currentzionsville.com

The Zionsville Community School Board of Trustees met on Feb. 10. Below are a few of the meeting’s highlights.

Education Make-up snow days Superintendent Dr. Scott Robison said that he is currently meeting with teachers and staff to discover the best ways to make up snow days. Options include extending school hours or using electronic means.

“The aim is to keep us out of June,” Robison said.

He said he has received many comments from students and parents asking that school not be prolonged into June, due to planned international travel and summer camps.

Robison said that he hopes to follow the “Ohio model” of delivering content to students on a Thursday, and then giving them an entire week to complete the assigned work electronically.

This would give students a long lead time and allow teachers to be available for questions. Robison will present his final recommendation for make-up days at the board’s Feb. 24 meeting. He hopes that the make-up days will occur in March.

Service projects The board recognized fifth-grader Tara Harmon from Mrs. Ostendorf’s class at Zionsville West Middle School. Harmon raised money to provide school uniforms to students in Indianapolis Public Schools. She received a $500 grant from

the Colts and a $750 grant from Walmart Corporation in order to purchase the uniforms.

“Not everybody is able to go home and have dinner on the table or have clean clothes every day,” Harmon Harmon said. “[Service projects] can actually be really fun to do, and they really help other people, too.”

DOE grant The board approved a decision to submit a technology grant application to the Indiana Department of Education. This grant money would be used to purchase additional laptop computers for middle school and high school students to rent. This is part of the “One to One” computer to student program.

Sixty percent of students currently purchase their own laptops, with five percent of students receiving free rentals due to economic hardship.

This leaves 35 percent of students who need to be able to rent a laptop for the duration of their school days.

Currently, a laptop or netbook is required to complete schoolwork in the middle and high schools. Smartphones and tablets are not capable of being used for schoolwork.

Lye soap from ashes and bacon Commentary by Ward Deglar

Last week when I told you that one of my jobs as a kid was to clean ashes out of the furnace, I failed to mention the ash pile Plain Talk in the backyard. Everybody in town had an ash pile.

Some of those ashes went for garden fertilizer in the spring, and some of them got sprinkled on driveways after winter ice storms. Dad decided to use ours to make soap.

Turns out Mom had been saving bacon grease all during the war. I think it was used to make ammunition or something. And even after the fighting was over she continued to save it, pouring it into empty coffee cans. It was while she was muttering about what to do with all that grease that Dad got the soap idea.

Laundry soap, he called it. Good old-fashioned lye soap. According to a recipe he had found in the back of his grandmother’s Bible, bacon grease and ashes were two of the things you needed to make lye soap.

I don’t remember all the steps in this alchemy, but part of it was filtering water through the ashes and then mixing it with the grease and some other stuff in a pot and cooking it over an open fire. I am sure the open fire was necessary because at one point the whole mess smelled so bad it would have driven us out of the house.

After it had bubbled and been stirred for hours, Dad poured the whole shebang into a wooden frame he had made and set it aside to cool. Later he cut the slab of soap into bars and presented them to Mom. I think she tried one once. I remember she complained about blisters on her hands. After that she went back to her Oxydol. Dad never mentioned the lye soap again.

Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.”You may contact him at ward.degler@gmail.com.

School Board Discusses Land Swap – At their Feb. 10 meeting the Zionsville School Board of Trustees agreed to allow trustee Jim Longest to continue working alongside the Town of Zionsville in the Creekside Corporate Park land swap. In a tentative agreement, the town will deed Jennings Field property to ZCS in exchange for Creekside Corporate Park land. Jennings Field will remain as is, with no new buildings constructed on the field. ZCS initially purchased the land at Creekside Corporate Park to build a bus maintenance facility. “We are very close in these final negotiations,” Longest said.

By Colin Henry news@currentzionsville.com This year the Humane Society for Boone County will celebrate Cover Story its seven-year anniversary and raise money for its animals during its first Fur Ball, which will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 22 inside the Golf Club of Indiana.

Founded by a group of local resident volunteers, the Humane Society has become a resource caring for homeless, lost and displaced domestic animals. All of this has been possible despite having no building to work in.

All of the proceeds from the Fur Ball, a Mardi Gras-themed event, will go toward Operation Shelter, a building fund to raise the more than $1.5 million needed to construct or buy a place to house the animals.

So far, the group has raised $300,000.

The facility for Operation Shelter is expected to cover seven acres at a still-undetermined location. It will include a dog park large enough to support local residents and their dogs.

“We can’t say for sure now, but it would be our dream,” Humane Society President Susan Austin said. “We would love to have a place for the dogs to get plenty of socialization, exercise and interaction with other animals. It makes them much better pets in the home because a happy and tired dog is a good dog.”

HISTORY OF CARING

In 2007 the group began with contributions and volunteers. Until now, these volunteers have temporarily fostered the animals. They take care of their day-to-day

Forest is one of the many Humane Society animals in Boone County, waiting to find a loving home. He is an active dog, and will need some training but president of the group, Susan Austin, said he is a fun-loving animal and will make a great family dog.

needs until the animals can be found a suitable home.

“Our volunteers foster, feed and house the pets, and run them to veterinary appointments for general health and to be spayed or neutered,” Austin said.

The organization currently has more than 60 active volunteers, all whom register on the group’s Website.

“The Website has helped immensely because it is a good link for people to help the animals,” Austin said. “As long as the pets find a good home, that is what it’s really about.”

The Humane Society’s Website is also linked to PetFinder.com, a searchable database to help bring homeless pets to new

owners. The site has a directory of more than 14,000 animal shelters and adoption organizations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

“We use Pet Finder, which I believe is one of the, if not the, biggest listing of all the in-shelter animals. We are a part of that and if people can’t find what they are looking for with us they can use the proximity search of the area [for another shelter] and find what they are looking for,” said Austin.

Austin said she hopes the Fur Ball will raise enough funds for the group to build a place for the animals, and take some of the burden off the volunteers.

“Then maybe we can find all of the animals a permanent home,” she said.

Could this be good news?

I hate snow days

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

We certainly would celebrate that.

Kill him!

Commentary by Terry Anker

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

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

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

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

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

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

I hate snow days. Between my already busy schedules, snow days mean I then have to add, “taking care of little brother” to my list of daily duties.

When Yianni, age 11, is home from school because of frigid temperatures and that lovely mixture of ice and snow, I am left to deal with his preteen angst (and odor) while the parentals are away at work.

In spite of my personal complex with snow days, I must say that I was more than pleased when I heard Zionsville Community School Superintendent Dr. Scott Robison’s words on how Zionsville schools hope to make up for lost time in the classroom.

Robison said that he will likely recommend that the ZCS Board of Trustees petition the Indiana Department of Education in order to make up snow days via electronic learning.

Electronic learning, or E-Days, implies that students would be assigned homework or readings to complete over the course of a week, from the comfort of home. They would use their laptops to complete their work, and also have school hours to contact their teachers with questions.

If the schools begin implementing E-Days in March or April, this would allow students to be released for summer vacation before the first of June.

Parents and students everywhere will leap for joy if they are told that family travel or summer camps will not be disturbed.

And truly, not even this big sister who hates it when her little brother is home from school, would want to shorten summer break. After all, summer break is nearly as sacred as a snow day!

Robison will finalize his recommendation for the board and present it at the Feb. 24 meeting.

Showing our Kentucky side

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Snooze dog

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Something curious is happening to me. I hope it’s nothing to be too concerned about. I’m not napping as much as I used to. For humor most of my life, if I was on the couch watching a TV show, I’d nod off within five minutes. But a couple of weeks back, I made it through the entire Super Bowl wide awake. Not even Peyton Manning can say that.

This past month I did not take a single nap.

Even the dog wondered what happened to our siesta. He kept following me around the house as if to say, “Hey, I’m 80 in dog years. It’s almost 2 p.m. Let’s stretch out and do this.”

Napping has never been a problem. When I was a high school teacher, I actually fell asleep in class while proctoring a statewide exam. The kids were very polite. “I hope we didn’t disturb you yesterday, Mr. Wolfsie,” said one of my students. “We tried to cheat as quietly as we could.”

Until recently, I could take a quick snooze while having dinner with friends, sitting at red lights, waiting for my wife to put on makeup, letting the dog relieve himself, and waiting at fast food drive-up windows and in checkout lines.

Anywhere.

Mary Ellen has never quite understood the value of a nap. Personally, I think women are afraid they’re going to miss something. Like a sale, or a beautiful sunset, or the plot of a movie. Men don’t

P

r i v a t e

B

care about stuff like this. My inability to nap recently came up during my recent annual physical, but there was some confusion in the conversation. “How are you sleeping?” asked Dr. Ross “It’s been rough,” I told him. “Sometimes I’m awake for 8 or 10 hours in a row.”

“TEN HOURS?” he gasped. “We need to do some testing. How long has this been going on?”

“Several months.”

“Do you just toss and turn in bed?”

“Well, I’m not in bed. That’s the problem. I’m out driving the car, watching the news or cooking. Sometimes I’m in the garage operating heavy machinery.”

“This is very troubling, Dick. So you don’t sleep all night?

“No, I sleep great at night. It’s all day that I can’t sleep.”

Dr. Ross was very helpful once I straightened out the misunderstanding. He said I had to accept that men experience changes in their bodily rhythms as they mature. “I want you to go home this afternoon and really think about that,” he said. I told him I’d have to sleep on it. Which meant, of course, it would have to wait until that night.

Symphony from Israel to stop in Carmel during tour

T H I S W EEK

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For more information, call 452-3690.

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

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

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

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

tured in a contemporary concerto by a fellow Israeli.

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

This is its first American tour.

Play tackles fading WASP culture

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

mother that doesn’t recognize her own sons and a daughter wanting to come home after a failed marriage, each ranging from the funny to the serious.

Producer Kim Howard said, “We have a talented cast of experienced actors and are anticipating an enjoyable and quality production.”

The cast includes: Mark Tumey, Ryan Shelton, Daniel Shock, Tonya Fenimore, Barb Weaver and Sonja Distefano.

“The Dining Room” • Studio 15 • 15 First Ave. NE in Carmel • 7:30 p.m. Feb. 27, 28 and March 7, 8, 14 and 15; 2 p.m. March 1, 9, 16 • Tickets are $12 for seniors or children 12 and under;$15 for adults • For more information call 688-8876or visit www.carmeltheatrecompany.com.

START THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT WITH 20% OFF ANY WELLNESS SERVICE OR YOGA PACKAGE NOW THROUGH FEB. 28, 2014.

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

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

If you’re thinking blonde…

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

If you’re thinking red…

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

If you’re thinking brunette…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don’t hide your legs this summer Commentary by Dr. Jeffery Schoonover

F E B R UA RY

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

Are you unhappy with your legs’ appearance?

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

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

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

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

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

Opt for super-fatted soaps in winter – The same products that keep your face looking fresh in the spring and summer may cause skin problems during winter. Choose a gentle, super-fatted, fragrance-free soap for cleansing. Super-fatted means the soap is loaded with oils to keep skin moisturized. – www.webmd. com

Stepped Pyramid of Djoser (photo by Don Knebel)

‘The Pyramids’ Stepping-stones’ Commentary by Don Knebel

Egypt’s larger-than-life pyramids continue to generate speculation about their origins, ranging from the extraterrestrial to the travel supernatural. Even the Egyptians once posited a divine explanation.

The stepped pyramid at Saqqara shows that the real story is closer to Earth.

Believing that souls live on after death, Egyptians initially buried their important dead and their possessions in underground tombs covered by “mastabas.” Mastabas, made first of mud bricks and then of stones, were solid, flat-topped structures up to 30 feet high with gradually sloping sides. A passage to a special chamber inside allowed priests and family members to bring offerings to the person buried below for use in the afterlife.

In about 2650 B.C., Imhotep, the palace architect of Pharaoh Djoser, came up with a new idea for his boss’s tomb at Saqqara, the burial ground serving the capital at Memphis. He covered the underground tomb with six stacked mastabas of diminishing size, creating a stepped pyramid made entirely of stone. For designing what was then the largest stone structure ever built, Imhotep was later worshipped as a god.

Seeing the stepped pyramid, Pharaoh Snefru

ordered that his pyramid eliminate the steps and support his tomb above the ground so it would be closer to the sun god. About two-thirds of the way to the apex, engineers had to reduce the angle of inclination from 55 to 43 degrees to eliminate stability problems created by the internal tomb chamber. The result was the socalled “bent pyramid.” On the next try, Snefru’s engineers started with a 43-degree angle and succeeded in creating the first “true pyramid,” with smooth sides and a constant angle. This so-called “red pyramid” may contain still-secret passages leading to the undiscovered mummy of Snefru. Using Snefru’s model, his son Khufu took the pyramid-building art to its pinnacle in the Great Pyramid of Giza, still the most massive structure ever built.

No little green men, no magical powers, no unsolvable mysteries. Egypt’s pyramid builders drew on past successes, learned from earlier mistakes and achieved lasting greatness. That is the real secret of the pyramids.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A person who has more than $300,000 in

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Creating a comfortable kitchen in a walk-out basement

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

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

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

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

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

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

Final details: New appliances in black and matte stainless steel were installed, as well as a wine refrigerator and under-cabinet lighting. Updated storage solutions were also part of the final design, including a mixer lift, a built-in spice rack and double-layered utensil drawers. Finally, new 6-inch-wide hand-scraped maple engineered hardwood flooring was installed over the concrete slab.

owner. A plate rack was installed over the sink and glass doors in a few of the wall cabinets. An oil-rubbed bronze finish on the cabinet hardware and faucet provides a hint of copper that compliments the natural hickory. Copper pendant lights complete the feel.
