Rosie’s Place coming to downtown

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

The storefont at 10 South Main Street won’t stay vacant for long.

On March 31, owner of the coming soon Noblesville-based café and bakery Rosie’s Place, Debbi Bourgerie, confirmed that a second location of Rosie’s Place will be opening in downtown Zionsville this year.

“We are excited to announce we have officially signed a lease in Zionsville,” she stated in an email to Current in Zionsville.

Bourgerie signed the lease for the South Main Street building on March 27.

“We are thrilled to be joining the Zionsville community. It is the small-town feel similar to Noblesville, and it is the perfect spot for our second location,” she said.

Previous tenants of the space include Le Dolce Vita Patisserie, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, and Eagle Creek Coffee Company. Historically the building was a pharmacy and penny-candy shop.

Rosie’s Place has been a love of restaurant goers in Noblesville, in Hamilton County. Below are a few of patron favorites from the Rosie’s Place Menu.

Breakfast Favorites: Farm Style Eggs Benedict, $9.50, Split biscuit with two poached eggs, covered in our sausage gravy with cheddar cheese and shaved ham, with a side of country potatoes Rosie Style, $9.50, Two fresh eggs, toast or biscuit, a fluffy buttermilk pancake, applewood smoked bacon or sausage, and country potatoes Lunch Favorites: Rosie’s Spinach Salad, $7.95, Baby spinach with sliced strawberries, candied pecans, Monterey jack cheese, and a red wine vinaigrette French Dip, $8.95, Roast beef with carmelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, and provolone cheese with a cup of hot au jus

Eastman Kodak, a failed giant Commentary by Ward Degler

I’ve been pondering the recent collapse of Eastman Kodak, once the world’s largest and most profitable photographic plain talk materials company. When I worked at the U.S. Naval Photographic Center in Washington, D.C., in the 1960s, Kodak film, paper and chemicals were all there was. We not only used their materials, we sent our photographers and technicians to the Kodak campus in Rochester, N.Y., to study the art, craft and chemistry of photography.

When George Eastman founded the company back in the late 19th century, he wanted to name it “Nodak” for his hometown roots in North Dakota. Someone convinced him that the letter K was more powerful and decisive than the letter N, however, and the company became Kodak.

At its greatest, the Kodak empire spread over 1,300 acres, occupied 150 buildings and employed some 15,000 workers. The company also provided housing, schools, medical care, golf courses and shopping centers for its employees. Working for Kodak gave a new dimension to the idea of job security.

Trouble started in the 1970s when an upstart Japanese film producer named Fuji announced plans to compete in the U.S. market. For a long time Kodak just ignored the newcomer, convincing itself that Americans would never abandon the Kodak brand. When Fuji became the official film of the 1984 Olympics, however, Kodak realized the Japanese firm was here to stay. When Fuji built a film manufacturing facility within U.S. borders, Kodak finally sat up and took notice.

Then, overnight, photography went digital.

Firms like National Geographic stopped ordering Kodachrome. The film business skidded to an abrupt and permanent halt. Eastman Kodak filed for bankruptcy.

It’s ironic that Kodak made the very first digital camera back in the 1970s. But it stopped producing it because it were afraid it might undercut the film business.

Everything is at a standstill as Buckingham Cos. is reevaluating what is going to happen with the South Main Street corridor and the lots for sale along Sycamore development Street.

According to Zionsville Town Manager Ed Mitro, the company needs to continue communicating with the town before it can move forward with any official plans.

“My understanding is that Buckingham is re-assessing its Stacy options for portions of the property,” Mitro said. “We will await their next move.”

As Current in Zionsville reported in October, Buckingham Cos., which manages more than $1 billion in real estate assets, was hoping to construct a multi-use residential and retail space in downtown’s southern corridor by purchasing land plots.

Feedback from neighboring village residents and town leaders has forced the company to restructure plans it had for Zionsville.

The multi-use project was expected to include the vacant Citgo lot, the vacant Stacy-LaBolt building, and an occupied mobile home park, Zionsville Adult Village.

As Ralph Stacy, co-owner of the 1-1/2 acre Stacy-LaBolt property selling for $895,000, said:

“I’ll believe [the deal] when I see it.”

Owner of Zionsville Adult Village, Marcella Compton, is expected to retire following the sale of her 14.3-acre parcel. It is listed for $500,000.

Pedaling with passion

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

When John Thieme of Zionsville retired, he knew it was important to stay physically active to be fit and healthy. His fear pasttime was that he would grow old and overweight, just like his father before him.

“It was scary for me to think about sitting around,” Thieme, a retired entomologist said.

To overcome this fear, he decided to become a serious cyclist, but knew from previous riding experiences that standard bicycles would be too uncomfortable for him.

“I would ride 50 or 60 miles a day on my bike and just be sore for days afterward,” he said. “My arms, my neck everything would hurt.”

That is when Thieme began investigating recumbent bicycles and tricycles. He chose to reconstruct an Australian-made recumbent tricycle called a Greenspeed GTO. “It’s the Cadillac of recumbents,” Thieme said.

It has ots him more than $3,00.

This low profile “tadpole design” tricycle has two wheels for steering mounted in the front, and a third drive wheel mounted in the rear. It steers just like a go-cart and is nearly as stable too. Since the rider sits on a comfortably designed reclining seat, Thieme said it is fun to ride without all the aches and pains.

“I have ridden up to 164 miles on this tricycle,” he said.

An Indianapolis cyclist shop, Valley Bikes, helped Thieme customize it with everything he wanted. It is a 27-speed tricycle, with an additional 3-speed shifter, and bar-end shifters, hydraulic disc brakes, 20-inch high pressure racing tires, a multifunctional computer, a lumbar designed seat, a headrest, dual mirrors; all mounted on a lightweight frame. His recumbent tricycle is more comfortable and stable than a traditional bicycle, and doesn’t require a kickstand or the need to take your feet off the pedals when stopping.

For safety reasons, Thieme also mounted a seven-foot orange bicycle flag and a large orange triangular slow-moving vehicle placard onto his “fire truck” red trike.

“I’ve even had someone say it looks like I’m riding a wheelchair, but it’s very physical,” he said.

In addition, he limits his riding to only select county roads during the day at leaner traffic times and believes being a courteous rider makes for safer travel. His preferred travel route has few obstructed hills, smooth straight road surfaces, no dogs, yet interesting scenery. Ultimately, he selected a 30-mile round trip route that takes him from Zionsville through Whitestown, then on to Lebanon and back in about two hours.

Nonetheless, Thieme is looking forward to the proposed bike trail between Zionsville and Lebanon for a safer and more tranquil ride.

Being a retired entomologist, he has also conducted many insect surveys over the years while riding. He has peddled nearly 9,000 miles to complete these in-depth studies on butterflies and road kill. Some of the studies have revealed interesting results that he has shared with colleagues and presented to several select groups.

While cycling offers a great chance to get fresh air, soak up sunshine, and enjoy the outdoors, it is also an outstanding way to stay fit.

Thieme said he currently weighs exactly what he did as a senior in high school while on the wrestling team.

“Cycling is an easy way to enjoy warm weather and stay in shape,” Thieme said.

Town of Zionsville discusses accepting credit cards for municipal payments

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Cash or credit? It’s one question you may be asked the next time you visit Zionsville Town Hall to pay a utility bill or purgovernment chase a building permit for your property.

“It’s a huge change,” said Zionsville Town Councilwoman Susana Suarez. “It’s exciting.”

At the March 31 agenda-setting meeting for the town council, council members discussed moving into what Suarez calls the “20th century.”

“Not quite the 21st century,” she said. “But we are moving forward.”

The town is in talks with two local banks about how to responsibly accept credit card payments for services and items purchased from the town.

Councilman Steve Mundy and Town Manager Ed Mitro are at the helm of directing this new opportunity for the town.

Mundy said that the banks he has spoken with recommend the town add a percentage charge to all credit card transactions, in order for the town to pay for the credit card fees. One

bank suggested an additional $3 convenience fee.

“The law allows us to do that to cover our fees,” Mundy said.

According to Mundy, more than 25 percent of people who use town services pay with automatic bank withdrawal, a convenient way of paying for a utility bill, for example.

“It does not sound like it will take long for the banks to submit proposals for how we should do this,” Mundy said.

Mundy said one advantage of accepting credit cards is that the town will have a simple way to track payments received.

The council is expected to discuss this issue at a future town council session, following meetings with the banks.

3 Democrats seek seat in Congress

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Two years ago, U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks took over the seat of longtime Republican congressman Dan Burton, who had served 30 years in that office. This year, three government Democratic candidates are vying for a chance to try and flip the seat across the political aisle.

Brooks, who represents Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, defeated Scott Reske with 58 percent of the vote in 2012. If she wins her Republican primary, she will face one of three Democratic opponents, which includes an engineer, an educator and a veteran. The primary date is May 6. None of the Democratic applicants have previously held elected office.

Allen Ray Davidson Throughout his career as an engineer, Allen Ray Davidson said he’s made it his mission to reduce waste and increase efficiency in government.

The 45-year-old Fishers resident said he has the technical skills necessary to fix the problems in government.

He points to his experience as a pavement design engineer Davidson for the Indiana Department of Transportation.

“I have served the state of Indiana well in my career, to the benefit of all Hoosiers,” Davidson said. “However, I feel that my skills can be better utilized in Washington D.C., for the benefit of all Americans.”

Davidson said he’s also familiar with environmental law due to his work with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Davidson has a daughter, 9-year-old Tanisha, and a son, 4-year-old Ruhan. He has a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from Texas Tech University.

Shawn Denney Some politicians talk about the tough economy, but Shawn Denney said he’s seen it firsthand.

The 41-year-old Lawrence Township resident said he had a stable, well-paying job in the insurance and investments industry, but, “in the blink

of an eye I found myself on the unemployment line.”

“Like me, many people have to find other job opportunities, learn new trades and develop second careers,” he said. “I want to be that voice in Washington that speaks up and advocates for America’s middle and working class.”

That year, Denney took on a Denney new role as educator, teaching young minds about U.S. and world history. He said that gives him insight into what’s good and bad about the state’s education system, one of his top focuses if he is elected.

Denney has three children, Perrin, 15, Charles Kalvin, seven, and Liam, 18 months. He is engaged to Amber Stearns. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Indianapolis.

David Ford The youngest of the three potential candidates, David Ford doesn’t turn 30 until the day before the general election. But Ford said that doesn’t mean he’s inexperienced.

He has served eight years in the U.S. Air Force, including stays at Fort Carson in Colorado and Osan Air Base in South Korea. Since he was honorably discharged in September 2013, he said he’s been focused on his political career.

Ford said he’s concerned about the lawmakers representing Indiana. He notes that the number of members of Congress who have served in the armed forces is at an alltime low. He believes elected officials should see their job as a selfless duty, not a perk.

“Washington politicians are out of touch. They are so busy high-fiving each other and patting each other on the Ford back that they have forgotten that they serve at the pleasure of the people,” he said. “Too often, they return to their districts only to fundraise so they can go back to Washington. They believe that the people serve the establishment.”

Ford lives in Westfield with his wife, Marcella, and their 6-month-old son Ethan.

When U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks took over the seat of longtime Republican congressman Dan Burton, who had served 30 years in that office, she had to stand out in a government crowded field. Brooks, who represents Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, defeated Scott Reske with 58 percent of the vote in 2012.

This year, she appears to have a challenge from an upstart candidate who enjoys Tea Party support and another who lives outside the district.

The 5th District contains the northern portion of Marion County and all of Indianapolis’s northern suburbs, and it stretches as far north as the city of Marion, Ind. THE INCUMBENT Susan Brooks – Brooks said she is most proud of helping constituents resolve 76 percent of the issues they have brought to her office and the passage of the SKILLS Act in Congress in March of 2013. The bill would help to alleviate the current skills gap in our workforce by Brooks modernizing federal job-training programs and removing roadblocks that prevent job-seekers from receiving the in-demand training needed for many modern careers.

Brooks said her main goals over the next year are to pass legislation that repeals and replaces Obamacare with patient-centered reforms, and pass legislation that creates an environment for economic growth, business investment and job creation.

She said those are in-line with Republican goals to cut wasteful government spending, pay down the national debt, simplify the tax code, secure the border, confront terrorist threats and restore the balance of power created by the country’s founders by assuring the executive branch respects and abides by the laws Congress passes.

But she said she sees this primary as a chance for voters to choose who will best take on Obamacare and improve job prospects and job security in Indiana.

THE CHALLENGERS David Stockdale – David Stockdale said he decided to run for Congress because young folks like him, Tea Party folks and Libertarian-leaning Republicans have become frustrated with the old guard in the party.

Stockdale said he would represent the constitution and his constituents – not just the party. He said the country is at a turning point because Stockdale many people see no difference between Republicans and Democrats.

The three central issues he sees being at stake in this primary are selecting a candidate

who represents constituents and the constitution, someone who will work for smaller government and less spending and someone who will work to uphold the Bill of Rights and not allow the NSA to continue infringing on citizens’ rights.

In regard to the economy, he said he would support the Fair Tax as a means of tax reform, and that there’s a need for entitlement reform, regulatory reform and transferring authority back to the states.

Stockdale said he would ask voters to realize that even though he hasn’t held elected office before, he meets the constitutional requirements to run for Congress.

He said he thinks that the best candidates often are the ones who have successfully run their own business and that this election will provide a chance to stop the growth of government.

Mike Campbell – Current in Carmel made numerous attempts to solicit answers from Campbell, but received none by press time.

Campbell does not reside within the boundaries of the 5th District and maintains a home in Cambridge City, Ind., in the eastern portion of central Indiana. Curent is not aware of a campaign website, campaign manager or even a fundraiser for the candidate.

Questions for Campbell can be directed to campbellforcongress2014@hotmail.com.

Douglas to receive IU award

By Julia Plant • news@currentzionsville.com Laura Douglas, a 2010 Zionsville Community High School graduate, received the Kate Hevner Mueller Award at the Indiana University Outstanding Seniors Awards Brunch on April 6. Douglas is a Political Science Major at Indiana University in Bloomington, with minors in economics and French.

She is expected to attend Stanford Law School after graduating from IU. Leigh Ann Douglas, Laura Douglas’ mother, stated in an email, “Her education at Zionsville Community Schools was spectacular and has been a huge factor in her success.”

According to Laura, the two people who had the biggest influence on her career path were ZCHS teachers Dave Rodgers and Mary Grabianowski.

“What sets her apart from most is her inquisitiveness and her kindness. She has the mind and the heart to make a real difference in the world,” Rodgers said.

The Kate Hevner Mueller Award was established this year at IU and honors seniors who have proven leadership skills on campus; both inside and outDouglas side out of the classroom.

“She could’ve done anything, but taking on the issues of the world was always important to her,” Rodgers said.

Back in the day

In the 1800s and early 1900s, livery stables were an important part of every community. You could call them horse hotels, but they also rented buggies, surreys and the like. (Photo courtesy of SullivanMunce Cultural Center)

teve & Donna wanted to be closer to their grandkids, so a move to the Zionsville area was imminent. Problem was, they needed to unload a house in Lafayette before they could make the move. Jennifer tapped into her referral network and connected with an excellent agent in that market. Then she plunged into their local search. They looked at a zillion houses before they found the PERFECT house to accommodate their hobbies. He wanted a basement for his HAM radio studio! She wanted a sunny space for her painting passion, and the loft with skylights fit the bill. A purchase agreement was struck just as they received an offer on the house in Lafayette & all proceeded to close without a hitch. Jennifer was able to write the perfect Story of Sold for her sweet clients, and now their grandbabies just a few miles away!

Riverview Hospital is now Riverview Health.

Healthy Eating Seminar Dr. Eric Marcotte, a board certified physician with Riverview Medical Group, will talk about why many of us struggle with our weight, as well as steps we can take to overcome challenges with food.

Big lungs, little girl 13 year-old Zionsville singer/ actress releases music on iTunes

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

BIRTHDAY

School, friends, church, family … and a debut single on iTunes; This is the life of 13 year-old Sophia Joelle Petts, a Zionsville Middle School student who is making waves cover story with her vocal chords.

Having lived in Zionsville her whole life, the youngest of the Petts brood is making a name for herself. Known as simply Sophia Joelle to her fans, she is what one reviewer on iTunes calls “an amazing singer and songwriter.”

Labeled under the pop music genre because of her youth, Sophia presents herself with an air of country and folk influence, no doubt a nod to her horse-loving Hoosier family.

“I write all my own music,” Sophia said. “And I always love to perform. I just love being able to connect with the audience, because that’s what performing is really all about.”

Dan Petts, Sophia’s dad, has called his youngest daughter a “total entertainer” from the time she could walk.

“She would sing in the shower, and all around the house,” he said. “She’s even written a song in the shower and had to call out ‘Hey mom! Come write this lyric down!’”

Dan said that Sophia’s generation is so talented, that many of her friends share her passion for theater and singing, which has encouraged Sophia to pursue her passions.

“She started in Christian theater, which developed her love of performing,” he said. “And it really helped her faith. But let me tell you, many of these kids are so talented. The kids around Sophia are the most creative kids I’ve ever met.”

Sophia’s three older siblings have histories of being small-town successes here in Zionsville as well. Her oldest sister, Olivia, is in law school, and her brother, Harrison, is captain of the Indiana University State Champion Soccer Team. Another sister, Emma, is a student at IUPUI and performs around the nation singing and doing theater.

“What Sophia’s doing is a lot more fun than soccer,” Dan said. “And even though Emma is also a performer, Sophia is the one that’s constantly singing in the house. She really drives the bus and she really wants to be famous. That’s something the other kids don’t have.”

Jody Petts, Sophia’s mom, is the one who travels everywhere with her daughter for shows and auditions.

“It’s just so much fun,” Dan said.

A girl and her guitar

For Sophia, it all comes down to sitting down with her guitar and creating new melodies.

Sophia Joelle and her sister, Emma, smile as they hang out in a Hunt Club horse barn in Zionsville.

Sophia is the youngest of four.

Recently, she traveled to Los Angeles for performance auditions, and made a trip to New York City, where she performed at Pop City Tour’s The Bitter End. “It was so cool because they let you sing your own original songs,” she said.

Sophia said that even though she is starting to perform in different parts of the country, she is still a normal seventh-grader and hopes to have a concert in Zionsville soon.

“All of my friends are all super supportive of what I’m doing, and there’s no jealousy or anything because they are all talented too,” she said.

“I just love to sing and my goal is to keep doing that.”

Last week, Sophia’s latest song, titled “Hit the Road” broke on iTunes. It is available for purchase now. To listen to Sophia’s songs, visit www.currentzionsville.com

FROM THE BACKSHOP Businesses ‘get’ Zionsville’s pull And the businesses keep coming our way. In recent months, Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream, based in Carmel, opened in Zionsville, and now Mary & Martha’s Exceedingly Chic Boutique is moving from Carmel, and Noblesville-based Rosie’s Place is opening a second location here. This, in our opinion, is only the beginning. Why? Because Zionsville offers not only the demographic to support such enterprises, but the power to make them lasting.

There is a lot going on in our town that makes it attractive to those from elsewhere, and that should be a point of pride for our residents and fellow business owners.

••• We’re pleased to announce our sponsorship of CruZionsville in June. The event is a gathering of Porsche owners who enjoy getting together and sharing their cars – and this year 100 are anticipated! Last year was our first in association with the event, which raised $13,000, up $5,000 from the previous year. It’s a fun, family and community-centric event.

Mark your calendars for June 14.

••• And so the March 31 deadline came and went with much fanfare (cough, cough) for registering for Obamacare. President Barack Obama’s initiative reeled in a whopping seven million registrants. How many healthy, previously insured folks were piped aboard the Good Ship Socialist? How many were previously uninsured? We believe you can make educated guesses at answers. So, then, “If you like your insurance … .“ Travesty.

••• We found it interesting that the federal government actually recruited former NBA stars Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Alonzo Mourning to pitch Obamacare. On our dime, yet. Breathtaking. And we found it pulverizing to our collective intelligence that Vice President Joe Biden (can’t believe we’re using “intelligence and “Biden” in the same sentence) took to no less a platform than the Rachel Ray Show in one last appeal to gain registrants last Monday.

Coffee and cookies … I’m there!

Story-teller, speaker, raconteur Commentary by Terry Anker

These past few days have found us leapfrogging the ancient capitals of Europe on a speaking tour as a part of a responsibility as a member of the board for the Austrian Economics Center in Vienna. Among those on the docket were Bucharest, Athens and London (thanks to my colleagues who tolerate Skype and late-night email as the sole paths of communication back home). Each city designated for our little roadshow warrants four or five international guests buttressed by a slightly larger domestic contingent. In a week’s time, one is exposed to many, many speeches; and an array of opinions equally abundant.

Style and content vary widely. Some are entertaining and others deliberately eschew humor and rely only on dry data, imagining, one supposes, that even the remotest jocularity might diminish the gravitas with which their desired message is conveyed. It is notable that others find parable and anecdote to be the most effec-

tive way to reach the assembled audience. The best find balance.

Weaving both cold fact and personal warmth are among the very most effective methods. So how much latitude can one take in making a point before she dances on the edge of veracity?

When is puffery simply the route to efficiency and when does it become deception? The Romanians clung to figures. Each presentation was a study in PowerPoint precision. The Greeks robustly and captivatingly advocated with a near evangelic zeal. While the Brits, ever true to form, employed restraint and erudition to carry the message. It makes me wonder about our American “style.” Do we stray too far from fact when attempting to entertain or do we cling too closely to data and fail to ever make the point?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK No man is ever whipped, until he quits - in his own mind.

- Napoleon Hill

Have you ever tried a cookie from Rosie’s Place in Noblesville? They are to die for, and I’m not getting paid to write that! I am pretty thrilled to be able to announce that the popular breakfast, lunch and brunch place will be opening a second location in Zionsville this year.

When I first moved back to the U.S. my husband and I rented a tiny apartment on Main Street above a jewelry shop. We loved it for its convenience to Le Dolce Vita’s Oak Street location (for our weekly Sunday donuts) and for the 30-second walk into Eagle Creek Coffee Company (for our morning cups of Joe).

Recently, whenever I’m on Main Street I find myself a little lost when my tummy starts to grumble. Since Le Dolce Vita left, there’s been virtually no place for a quick breakfast or mid-morning snack downtown. Let’s all give a big welcome to Rosie’s Place for helping Main Street get some of its café appeal back. I’ll be the first one in line for a cookie.

••• We all (well, most of us!) love our mothers and think they are extraordinary, especially after we have our own children. Mothers really are super heroes. Do you know one in particular who is doing something outstanding and superwoman-like? Let me know! We want to feature a spectacular mom this May in our Mother’s Day issue of Current in Zionsville.

My husband has man-opause Commentary by Danielle Wilson Remember my last column about how my husband Doo has been getting on my nerves with his rising early and going to bed well humor ahead of his normal schedule?

If I hadn’t hit my obscenely-low word limit (a travesty, in my opinion; greatness cannot be expressed in a mere 450 words!), I would have regaled you with even more stories of unusual behavior. His attempt to simultaneously participate in P-90X and T-25, two intense at-home fitness programs, for example, is driving me absolutely bonkers! (Of course you’re sore and fatigued, my darling, you just did two hours of plyometrics!) He’s also been having frequent minitantrums over the amount of chauffeuring and carpooling he’s been asked to do. “When is it my time?” he complains as he stomps his feet. “I’m sick of having my life revolve around the kids!” he whines, as he throws his hands into the air. “I’m done!” he hurumphs, as he collapses into the armchair. I’m living with a 5-year old Jack LaLanne!

Luckily, we’ve finally diagnosed the problem. My beloved spouse is going through . . .

Man-opause. Can you believe it? I wasn’t sure exactly what Man-opause was, so I looked it up.

Here’s what I found. “Man-opause is a serious, non-life threating condition that typically afflicts men in their forties. Sufferers usually experience discontentment with the status-quo, anxiety over the demands of middle-age, and an intense

desire to buy a Porsche. Other symptoms may include planning vacations to tropical locations, picking fights with the wife over her awesome basketball team, and a sincere belief that wine is a recovery drink.” Yep, that’s my Doo. I read on.

“Though incurable, symptoms of Man-opause can be alleviated by a periodic venting of emotion and lots of there-theres from the spouse.

Do not, however, under any circumstances, point out the immature or selfish behavior to said sufferer. This technique is a scam cooked up by Hollywood producers and pharmaceutical companies to incite panic in suburbia. Instead, try a more holistic approach. Though not yet approved by the FDA for use on male adults, one promising procedure has its roots in a technique used with tantrum-throwing toddlers: Parents of small children simply step over the child and walk away.

Initial trials with Manopausal men using a similar approach are encouraging. Acknowledgement of his concerns demonstrate love, while time alone allows for thoughtful reflection and regrouping.”

I can do that!

There is a chance that Doo will outgrow his Man-opause, but regardless, at least now we have answers. Life can return to normal! Peace out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie A new study in the New England Journal of Medicine says there is no connection between coronary heart disease and saturated fat. I always thought there was a link, like the one on my plate next to the eggs and hash browns.

Usually I get health information directly from either Good Morning America or USA Today. Relying too much on any one authority is risky. In the old days, most of my medical knowledge came from either Ben Casey or Quincy. For you younger readers I’ll pause a moment while you check with Siri to see who these people are.

Mondays are a particularly good day to find new research in the media. Newspapers get the breaking, cutting-edge stories over the weekend because a scientist in Ontario, Canada is late for his 5 p.m. curling match, so he just calls the paper and blurts out something like: Chocolate can reduce your blood pressure. Or: people who eat peanuts have fewer strokes. Well, that’s pretty much all it takes, and the next thing you know, there isn’t a Reese’s Cup between here and Lake County.

Last Monday on Fox and Friends the panel reported new findings suggested getting up at 3 a.m. each morning for your work shift could have a detrimental effect on your brain. This explains a lot about the people hosting that program. Then over on Morning Joe, the talkfest on MSNBC, we learn that folks with sleep problems are the very

same people who snooze with their pets curled up next to them on the bed.

Well, I was dumbstruck. I don’t want to hear anything negative about our dogs and cats. Why, it was just last Saturday night, after getting up at 2:30 in the morning to let Toby out and then again at 3 a.m. to let the cat in, that I reminded my wife how much we love our animals. “Imagine someone saying pets negatively affect our sleep habits.”

The scientist went on to say one reason your pets are antsy at night is that they sleep during the day. This PhD suggests we find activities in the afternoon to keep our Dobermans, Labs and pit bulls intellectually stimulated so they don’t nap from noon until 10 p.m. I can’t even keep myself intellectually stimulated. So tell me how to make this work with a 13-year-old Beagle and a lazy cat that hasn’t moved from the living room sofa in six years, except to come upstairs at night and sleep on my wife’s face.

I tried playing with the dog on the floor, but he fell asleep. Then I played with him on my bed, but I fell asleep. So I put on the TV and turned to Animal Planet. And we both fell asleep.

World-famous violin player coming to Palladium stage

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com An almost freakish incident of two broken strings in the course of one concert performance gave Midori a flash of acclaim in her early teens. music In 1986, Leonard Bernstein was conducting her at the Tanglewood Festival as soloist in his “Serenade” when she had the sudden twin misfortune. Immediately after the initial accident, Midori (she uses only her first name) made the customary turn to the concertmaster in order to continue. That borrowed instrument suffered the same bad luck as the performance proceeded, and the Japanese-born 14-year-old finished it playing on a third violin, again passed on to her by the first-chair first violinist.

What everyone remarked on at the time was her imperturbable elan in bringing off the performance. She won over everyone, including the astonished Bernstein, and the event made the front page of the New York Times. Yet there has been nothing ordinary about her career since, even without the sensationalism that briefly moved her name onto the news pages.

Those distinctions have included establishing several kinds of music-education programs. One of them gives exposure to music and direct training in underserved neighborhoods in Japan and the United States. It serves about 15,000 people annually in New York City. It is no one-off exposure to music, but a 26-week course.

Another venture, established on the basis of the lucrative Avery Fisher Award she won in 2001, is Partners in Performance, which is designed to stimulate interest in classical music in small cities.

Proceeds from concerts by Midori and other eminent artists are used for support of community music organizations.

Then, a decade ago, she established a program to encourage American youth orchestras. Midori has performed with these orchestras and has advocated for them offstage, using her prominence to strengthen their home viability. Several years ago, she took this initiative outside the United States, collaborating with orchestras in Costa Rica, Bulgaria and Peru.

Midori is an accomplished violin player and also the Her core artistry continues into early chair of the strings department at the University of middle age, complete with an academic Southern California. (Submitted photo) anchor. She is entering her third year as professor at the University of Southern California, where she chairs the strings department.

If you want to hear how well Midori applies her technical wizardry to musical insight and understanding, you can’t do better than listen to this Carnegie Hall recital performance of Ravel’s “Tzigane” on YouTube. The pianist is Robert McDonald. She was 18 at the time, and already a veteran of the world’s concert stages, having made her professional debut at 11.

The Carmel Symphony Orchestra will conclude its season with another fun and music very personal performance featuring Carl Orff’s epic tale of fate, “Carmina Burana,” at 7:30 p.m. on April 12 at the Palladium.

One of the highlights of the show will be the vocals sung by the Anderson University Choral Ensembles directed by Rick Sowers.

“Carmina Burana” is considered the singlebiggest audience draw in the classical music repertoire next to Beethoven’s Ninth.

“The opening of Carmina Burana is among the most powerful music ever written,” said Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director David Bowden.

He refers to the piece as a morality tale based on a collection of poetry writings of monks namely about wine, women and song as they relate to the unwavering nature of fate.

Also on the program is Poulenc’s Concerto for Two Pianos, featuring internationally acclaimed pianist, three-time Sagamore of the Wabash recipient and Indiana Historical Society Living Legend, Charles Webb along with his piano partner, Steven Mann of New York.

“This is a really great balance to Carmina Burana because it has this really humorous, perky, sparking rhythm and melody that has a touch of irony in it,” Bowden said.

And Webb is actually a mentor of Bowden’s

Jump rope for fun and fitness Commentary by Kathleen Connelly As a parent and a health professional, I love to see the schools promote activity.

My two oldest children wellness attend Hoosier Road Elementary and the past couple of years I have been delighted to see them support the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart Program.

It is a program that raises money to help fight against heart disease and supports services offered by the American Heart Association. Recently, the forms came home with my kids and they are excited to participate again.

This got me thinking about my clients and new ways for them to get active. Do you remember spending hours jumping rope on the playground as a kid? I do! As adults, jump roping can provide an intense cardiovascular workout. Regular jump roping can improve dynamic balance, coordination, reflexes, bone density and muscular endurance. It also can help increase mental alertness and memory as well has improve spacial awareness and reading skills. The Jump Rope Institute states that 10 minutes of continual jump roping at 120 RPMs can provide the same benefits as 30 minutes of jogging, 720 yards of swimming and 18 holes of golf. That’s amazing! A simple

childhood activity that we can do right on our own driveway or sidewalk can provide so much good for our health!

Another bonus is it’s an activity that the whole family can do. If you have little ones that can’t jump rope yet, they can play outside or sit in a stroller while you jump rope for 5-10 minutes. If your kids are a little older, make it a family affair and add in a couple days of jump roping during the summer. A new jump rope for each family member is a great way to start the spring season.

Here’s a fun fact, did you know Indianapolis has a jump rope organization? They are called the Indy Air Bears and their website is www.indyairbears.homestead. com. The team is made up of children ranging from 2 years old through college. The team provides entertainment for local and national events, competes and provides jump rope clinics for varies youth groups/ schools around the country. Just like me, they believe jump roping is a great way to exercise and have lots of fun!

More diet-drink problems – According to a new women’s health study, women who are heavy drinkers of diet beverages may be more likely to experience cardiovascular problems. This is not the first study to show a relationship between the two factors. Consideration to lower ones diet drink intake may be beneficial, although, much research is still necessary in order to continue connecting cardiovascular health to artificial sweeteners. - Health.com

Cathedral High School raises nearly half a million dollars for tuition assistance at annual gala ShamrAuction 2014 sets new fundraising records for school INDIANAPOLIS—March 12, 2014—Nicole Beasley, vice president for advancement at Cathedral High School, announces that the school’s annual fundraising gala, ShamrAuction, has raised $465,000 for tuition assistance and other vital student services. “This year’s effort set new records for attendance, sponsorship, donations, and dollars raised,” says Beasley. “We are humbled and blessed by the generosity of our Cathedral community.”

“ShamrAuction is one of the oldest and biggest fundraising galas of its kind in the Midwest,” says Monica Pollom, Cathedral’s new director of events and corporate relations, “so the bar was set pretty high for success of this year’s event.” Tickets sold out several weeks prior to the February 22 event, marking a new attendance record of 820 in the event’s 37-year history. Sponsorships, too, reached a high-water mark in 2014 with 40 companies and individuals supporting tuition assistance through the ShamrAuction. “We are so pleased to have exceeded our fundraising goals by $30,000,” says Pollom. “Diversity is one of the core values here at Cathedral and supporting tuition assistance programs are one of the main ways the school maintains its geographic, religious, academic, economic, and racial diversity.” Cathedral High School currently draws students from more than 100 feeder schools and eight counties in central Indiana.

The ShamrAuction depends heavily on parents, volunteers, and committees to create an event of this magnitude. “We have 360 volunteers involved,” says Mary Myers, assistant director of events and volunteer coordinator, “including committee members, parents, alumni, current faculty, administration, and staff along with the 210 Cathedral students who help make this night possible. Without them, the ShamrAuction wouldn’t exist.” This year’s co-chairs were Theresa Rhodes and Walter Niemczura both local business leaders and current Cathedral parents. Father Glenn O’Connor, pastor of St. Susanna Catholic Church, Tom Zupancic, Cathedral class of 1973, and Janelle Christie, Indianapolis Colts, served as the evening’s emcees and auctioneers.

Size does matter with growth funds Commentary by Adam Cmejla

ESPN 1070 THE FAN THURSDAY, APRIL 17 LIVE BROADCAST • 3PM - 7PM SILENT AUCTION • 3PM - 7:30PM to support Play Ball Indiana and Zionsville Optimist Club DC’s PUB • 6537 E. SR 334, ZIONSVILLE, IN Please join us for a great time to support two great community organizations

Open up most of your brokerage, IRA or 401(k) plan statements and you’ll most likely find a plethora of investment options Finance that you are currently invested in or have the option to allocate your funds. The typical diversified investment statement will have a general mix of domestic and international investments across both broad-equity (stock) and fixed-income (bond) asset classes.

The goal of most of these portfolios is to accomplish what every client wants in their portfolio - to gain the most amount of return with the least amount of risk possible. This, in other words, is the founding wish behind the construction of an “efficient portfolio.”

What sometimes gets overlooked, though, is the next layer of allocation among those funds.

Most of the time we observe a large portion of portfolios exposed to, coincidentally, “large cap growth” funds and a significant underweighting or complete lack of small cap funds. By definition, large cap refers to companies that have a market capitalization of greater than $10 billion and “small cap” stocks generally have a total market capitalization of between $300 million and $2 billion.

However, re-evaluating a portfolio and looking at an investor’s exposure to “small cap” investments or funds is worth the time and effort if we compare the historical past performance of these investments. For this conversation, we’ll use the S&P 500 to evaluate “large cap” and the Russell 2000 index to evaluate “small cap.”

For the context of this article, let’s look back over the past fifteen years (1998 – 2013) and keep in mind this includes two recessions (dot com

and financial crisis). The S&P 500 had an average return of 7.41 percent, compared to the Russell 2000 having a return of 9.07 percent.

That may not sound like much, you say – a 1.66 percent over 10 years. But if we put that into dollar terms, a $100,000 invested into either portfolio at the beginning of the time period and, assuming all dividends are reinvested, would be worth very different values: $255,285 for the S&P 500 compared to $327,632 for the Russell 2000.

So how much should you allocate to small caps?

This is impossible to answer as there are no one-size-fits-all answers in investing. This is also not to suggest that investors should rush to reallocate their entire portfolio to small cap stocks — this would be very ill-advised and there is a slightly higher degree of risk that comes along with investing in small cap stocks that must be considered.

The point to take away here is to make sure that you are taking the right amount of calculated risk for your portfolio given your goals, intentions and timeframe with your investments and to be sure that your portfolio is taking advantage of the demonstrated “size effect” of investing and that your investment philosophy is backed by academically proven, time-tested data.

That’s rather than investing with the “flavor of the year,” as is sometimes demonstrated by advisors and investors chasing past returns of a hot new fund or manager.

6 stocks Warren Buffett never sold – 1) American Express (AXP) is a Buffett holding that dates back to the 1960s. Berkshire holds 151.6 million AXP shares today. This position was worth some $12.7 billion at the start of February. 2) Coca-Cola (KO) has been in the portfolio since in 1988. The beverage giant of the late 1980s is now a behemoth, and its stock has split multiple times in the past three decades. 3) M&T Bank (MTB) may not be a household name, but Buffett has been a long-term holder of this stock. As of February, Buffett’s company owned 5.38 million MTB shares worth almost $600 million. 4) Procter & Gamble (PG) has been part of the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio since 1989. When P&G announced the Gillette acquisition, the Oracle of Omaha called it a dream merger and decided to increase his holdings. 5) Without a doubt, Wells Fargo (WFC) is Berkshire Hathaway’s biggest holding -- and one of its favorites. Buffett has added to this position just about every quarter since the start of the recession. SOURCE: MSN Money

English was one grammar guy of my favorite subjects to teach.” (Marcia Lehrman) Answer: Oh, I do love you, dear readers, especially when you teach me new things (and find polite ways to say, “Uh, Jordan, I think you’re wrong here”).

A few weeks ago I used the phrase “short thrift” in a column. It seems the phrase is in fact “short shrift,” and I’ve been using it wrong for all these years. I’m pretty sure I still sing “Stairway to Heaven” wrong too, though, so it’s in good company.

The phrase I wanted, “short shrift,” means “little or no attention or thought” – as in, “I gave my younger brother short shrift when we were kids.”

As Joy accurately mentioned, the phrase derives from an archaic word which is itself no longer used – “shrift” – meaning a confession or absolution given by a priest. According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, the phrase “short shrift” came about meaning a “brief penance given to a person condemned to death so that absolution could be granted before execution.”

While “shrift” has more or less died off as a word on its own, the phrase “short shrift” has lived on with a decidedly less morbid meaning.

So, never fear, older siblings of the world: We can continue ignoring the younger ones without portending their imminent demise!

Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, basting frequently with pan juices. Chicken is done when thigh pieces, pricked with a fork at their thickest, yield clear yellow (rather than pink) juice.

Buggy Rides in Shipshewana (Photo by Don Knebel)

Past, present meet in Shipshewana Commentary by Don Knebel Shipshewana is the only Indiana entry in “1,000 Places to See Before you Die.” Each year more than one million visitors travel come to this self-described “Town of Character,” located about 25 miles east of Elkhart, to see how its Amish residents manage to lead such simple lives amid twenty-first century complexity.

The Amish, like the Mennonites, are spiritual descendants of the Anabaptists, European Christians who rejected the idea of infant baptism and persecuted for their beliefs. They separated from the Mennonites in 1693 when their founder, Jakob Ammann, decided Mennonites were too accommodating of a sinful world. The Amish came to Pennsylvania in the early eighteenth century seeking religious freedom and later came to Ohio and Indiana seeking farmland for their children.

The Amish past is chronicled in the Menno-Hof Museum just south of Shipshewana’s only traffic light. The Amish present can be learned from a ride through the countryside in a horse drawn Amish buggy guided by a retired farmer. The drivers, who speak a German dialect at home, are willing to answer any questions put to them

• Ingrown toenails • Plantar warts • Heel pain • Surgical correction - Hammertoes - Bunions - Spurs - Foot arthritis • Prescription orthotics • Plantar fasciitis

by the “English,” their name for outsiders. As the drivers will explain, the Amish do not avoid all modern conveniences, but only ones that their local Ordnung decides make life too comfortable.

So an Amish family may use a powered lawn mower so long as it is not self propelled or a tractor so long as it does not have rubber tires.

A harness factory may use tools powered by compressed air but not by electricity. Most Amish will ride in an automobile owned by others but will not own one themselves. The Amish want to be reminded constantly of their separation from society and their need to trust God and each other.

Not all the goods in Shipshewana’s 100 shops are made locally and the food in its popular restaurants is predictable. However, the unique appeal of Shipshewana does not come from its merchandise or its food. It comes from residents willing to share their lives of piety and simplicity with people from a world too often lacking both.

Interestingly, the recent “Hot and Wet” trend really isn’t all that recent and has actually been a staple in traditional patio outdoors designs for decades. Now, however, it’s approachable in everyday outdoor living. An occasional reality check reminds us where we live and acknowledges that most zip codes simply do not entertain, relax and live outdoors in the festive manner we do. We like nice things. We like comfort.

We like luxury.

Both fire and water features are imagined for most of the spaces we design/build/install but don’t always survive the realities of budget. Fortunately, there are several cost-friendly ways to implement each and deliver loads of drama, that can elevate your space to something extraordinary. And, they can be phased in later, too.

Greg Pierceall, professor emeritus of landscape architect at Purdue University and acknowledged “rock star” in our industry, recently stated (actually commanded) at a design symposium, that all great outdoor living spaces deserve some sort of water element. While his thought may be extreme, it certainly offers perspective.

FIRE Formal brick and mortar fireplaces are ideal, but at a $15,000 entry fee, sometimes difficult to accomplish. Stunning pre-fabricated copper fire bowls through Frontgate and elsewhere are a great way to test your appetite. And one of my favorite solutions is a natural boulder fire pit that fits almost any style. Lets marry the style of your home and budget with creative solutions.

WATER Although we appreciate dramatic koi ponds, micro water features speak to most of our lifestyles. Low maintenance bubbling boulders, gurgling birdbaths that spill over the side and selfcontained formalized fountains often prevails for costs and simplicity.

There’s an earthy luxury about water and fire features. They calm the soul and gather friends around them for spontaneous celebration. We like that.

One of those days?

Help is just around the corner.

Redesign your kitchen on a budget Commentary by David Decker The kitchen is often considered the headquarters of the modern home. And since it fulfills so many roles in the home, it’s no indoors wonder that so many people want to show off a modern and updated kitchen. The good news is, a few simple design changes can completely reinvent the look of the room. Here are five quick and easy ways to update your kitchen without breaking the bank.

New hardware: You don’t need to order entirely new cabinetry to change the look of your kitchen cabinets. Instead, try swapping out your existing hardware and drawer pulls for new ones. You’ll be amazed at the difference new hardware can make on the overall look of the room.

Lighting: Lighting is an essential decorative element, especially in the home. Proper lighting makes color more vibrant, while drastically affecting the energy of the room. Softer lighting will create a more elegant feel while bright lighting will make the room cheerful and inviting. You could even install dimmer switches to adjust the lighting depending on your activity or mood. And of course, the lighting fixtures themselves are an important decorative element. Replace your old sconces or hanging fixtures with new ones that feature a different style. Make sure all of the lighting fixtures fit together cohesively to tie

everything together into a complete look.

New flooring: Gone are the days of standardized laminate or hardwood. Today, kitchen flooring can be found in a vast array of materials, colors, shapes and sizes. Shop around to find a material and price that fits your budget.

A fresh coat of paint: Whether you are using it on your walls, ceiling or refinished cabinetry, a

fresh coat of paint can completely transform the look of a room. Try a new color scheme that you can mix and match with new decorative items.

New décor: There’s no reason to make sweeping décor changes. Start with the basics, such as a new table or chairs set. Decide whether your curtains, blinds and window decorations could benefit from an update. If you are redesigning on a tight budget, focus on the small details. Try changing out small details, such as display dishes, framed pictures or potted plants to make a big difference in the overall look of the room.

A kitchen redesign project can be as extensive as you make it. If you are unsure of where to start, I’d suggest begin by cleaning out the entire room and donating the items you no longer use.

A clean and organized room is the ideal blank canvas to start your redesign project. You may also want to look into storage options to organize any remaining objects. After everything is neat and tidy, the redesign process can really begin. And by now you’ve seen for yourself that a tight budget doesn’t have to keep you from creating a vibrant and user-friendly kitchen space.

“Exquisitely beautiful. An extraordinary

experience for us and the children. The level of skill, but also the power of the archetypes and the narratives were startling.”

“Mind blowing! I probably have reviewed over

three to four thousand shows, which still cannot compare to what I saw tonight!”

—Richard Connema, renowned Broadway critic

—Cate Blanchett, Academy Award-winning actress

“One big poetic event. It’s almost like going to the theater and the movies at the same time.”

—Robert Stromberg, Academy Award-winning production designer for Avatar & Alice in Wonderland

“Mesmerizing! It was like taking a journey to China…Singers, dancers and musicians reclaiming the divinely inspired cultural heritage of China.”

—Donna Karan, creator of DKNY

NOT MADE IN CHINA: Shen Yun cannot be seen in today’s China, where traditional Chinese culture has been mostly destroyed under communist rule. Based in New York, Shen Yun is a non-profit organization dedicated to reviving authentic Chinese culture.

“It’s everything I thought it would be—just

wonderful! It means so much! I can’t tell you how much!

It’s just fabulous!”

—Margaret O'Brien, Academy Award-winning Actress

“Demonstrating the highest realm in arts.

Shen Yun inspires the performing arts circles.”

—Chi Cao, lead actor in Mao’s Last Dancer principal dancer with Birmingham Royal Ballet

“I was in tears, because of the human spirit, the dignity, the power, the love, coming out of those people was astounding... This is the profound, quintessential

end of entertainment, there is nothing beyond this, nothing.”
