A woman for all women: Susana Suarez

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

With a brilliant mane of Mexican curls, Zionsville Town Councilwoman Susana Suarez, 45, strides into Starbucks with her white suit pressed to perfection, profile and her head held high.

“I walk in with my Ferragamo heels, and my designer bag,” she tells me later. “And I’m driving a Honda Oddesey with a built-in cooler and a vacuum cleaner.”

Thus is the dichotomy of Suarez’s life.

A fiercely strategic figure in the realm of conservatism, Suarez has found the balance between being a mother to her two daughters, a wife to Spanish husband, Juan “Kiko” Suarez, and the vice president of Global Communications and International Affairs for a $2 billion company, Allegion.

“It’s craziness,” she said.

A bridge between borders Born and raised in Mexico City by her mother, a deemed “southern bell” from the U.S., and her Mexican father, Suarez settled in Cleveland, Ohio, at the tender age of 16. It was there, she said, that she first learned to bridge two cultures and two personas.

“In that situation, you either sink or swim. I swam,” she said. “In months I was fluent in English and active. It was a challenge, but in life we underestimate what we are capable of.”

From there, Suarez finished college in Ohio and went on to become an executive for Anheuser-Busch Budweiser, in Manhattan.

“To be 30 and single in Manhattan with that job was not bad,” Suarez said.

This would be one of Suarez’s many jewels in her corporate-world crown, all of which eventually led to her to Washington, D.C., where she, most notably, worked on the Republican campaign for former President George Bush Sr., when he lost to Bill Clinton.

In 2001, Suarez began getting calls from a man who she calls “a certain governor in Texas,” George W. Bush, Jr., who recruited her to join the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

With little experience in the field of emergency management, Suarez was appointed as assistant director of FEMA. When the Dept. of Homeland Security was formed

by President Bush the next year, following 9/11, Suarez moved to the Peace Corps, where she would later establish a hybrid program between the Mexican and U.S. governments. This was a groundbreaking cooperation

All about Susana

• Birthplace: Mexico City, Mexico • Alma Mater: The Ohio State University • Hobbies: cooking Mexican food, gardening • Best moments to-date: wedding on July 7, 2007, and the births of daughters Sofia (5) and Eva (2)

between the two governments.

“It was me bridging two cultures, two philosophies, just as I’ve always done,” she said.

From corporate life to motherhood After several more senior-level positions around the nation – and the world – Suarez met and married her husband, Kiko, when she was 39, and he was 41.

The couple instantly knew they wanted to start a family, but struggled with keeping pregnancies vital.

“At one point you just think maybe this won’t happen, maybe we need to do something or get some help,” Suarez said.

After a bitter and painful delivery of Sofia when Susan was 40, she and her husband moved from their home in Boston to Indiana. It was here where she would eventually move her family to Zionsville, be elected as a town council member, and give birth to a second daughter, Eva. “You kind of hit a new normal,” she said. “Because we are older, the new thing in our life is our kids. You need to be able to turn off for some days, and that means discipline. No phones, no work. The time might be less but the quality goes up.”

Chicken Soup for the Soul features local author

By Chris Bavender • news@currentzionsville.com

“I learned long ago there is no arguing with someone with Alzheimer’s. There is no bringing them back to reality,” said Molly profile Godby of Zionsville. Her reality is a mother who is in the later stages of the disease, a mother who was diagnosed in 2007 at the age of 66, a mother who – more often than not – doesn’t even know who Godby is.

“Her physical health is a lot better than her mental health. She can rarely put full sentences together,” 39-year-old Godby said. “She does not process the meaning behind a lot of words. If someone says, ‘Lee, this is your daughter,’ she no longer knows what daughter means.”

To help cope with the emotional ups and downs, Godby blogs about her journey caring for her 73-year-old mother, Lee Adams.

“A lot of people still don’t understand what Alzheimer’s is all about and what happened to the person,” Godby said. “I have been brutally honest about what is happening with my mom and my feelings about it. People have thanked me. I’ve gotten phone calls from strangers who said they wanted to thank me. I think it just resonates with people.”

So, when Godby heard Chicken Soup for the Soul was looking for submissions for its new book, Living with Alzheimer’s & Other Dementias, she knew she wanted to share her mother’s story. She sent in four essays, including one

Molly Godby (right) and he mom, Lee Adams. (Submitted photo)

titled, “The Lady in the Mirror.”

“It’s basically about how Mom looks in the mirror and thinks her reflection is someone else but this person she sees she says is kind and beautiful and her best friend,” Godby said.

In January, she learned “The Lady in the Mirror” would be one of 101 essays published in the book.

“It means a lot. My mom – from the beginning – has accepted this whole thing with as much grace as you can imagine. She let go of her independence when needed and never minded if people asked questions about Alzheimer’s because she wanted people to learn about it,” Godby said. “Our parents constantly teach us lessons and you would think that having Alzheimer’s she could not teach me lessons anymore but she still is but in a very different way.”

Godby shares these lessons in the book.

“We all should love the man or woman, boy or girl we see in the mirror. We should love ourselves with the kind of love my mom has for her lady in the mirror, even though she doesn’t know she is seeing herself, my beautiful, loving and kind Mom.” Godby will have a book signing from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., May 17 at Black Dog Books in Zionsville.

Profits from sales of the book that day will go to the local Alzheimer’s Association, while the national Alzheimer’s organization will receive all the royalties from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Living with Alzheimer’s & Other Dementias.

Godby’s blog about her experiences caring for her mother is available at www.abundantlyawesome.blogspot.com.

ZEF gives more than $29k

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Last month, more than $29,000 was given to Zionsville Community School teachers and school groups as part of the grant education initiative from the Zionsville Education Foundation.

According to ZEF Executive Director Tracy Phillips, this year’s recipients of the grants were well-deserving teachers who have continued to use grant money for creative learning projects.

“There is some really outstanding innovation,” she said.

ZEF gives grants in the spring and in the fall.

In 2013, the group awarded more than $91,000.

New fundraising events have led to this growing momentum. This year, ZEF hosted a Girls Night Out for women, which raised more than $27,000.

“For a new event, it was more than we expected,” Phillips said.

There will also be a Fall Frolic later in the year.

Formed in 1996 with the help of a local endowment and the Community Foundation of Boone County, ZEF has allowed for teachers to receive grants for programs not fundable through school general funds.

The endowment established in 1996 is what still pays for the part-time salaries of the ZEF staff, which means that every dollar raised during a fundraiser for private donation goes directly to the classrooms.

Boone Meadow STEM/Literacy Coach Rebekah Clay Graham (center) stands with Grant Committee member Theresa Meyer, Boone Meadow Principal Kris Cavolick, ZEF Board Treasurer Gary Coval, and ZEF Board President Bob Spoonmore. More than $29,000 was given in teacher grants this spring.

Several of the projects being funded this year include a STEM learning project with a weather balloon, for elementary students. This is a project that will be assisted by students from the University of Indianapolis.

“Elementary students are going to do something so sophisticated,” Phillips said. “It’s a true student and community partnership.”

“We feel now that this momentum is going to build, and hopefully even better things next year,” Phillips said.

For a full list of this spring’s grant recipients, visit www.currentzionsville.com.

Next week the Zionsville Education Foundation will be awarding its largest grant in the history of the foundation. To see what this grant is, visit www.currentzionsville.com.

An expectant woman does prenatal yoga.

Yoga for baby, and then me

Commentary by Sally Bassett

The last several months I have been doing a lot of prenatal yoga. The outcome was a beautiful baby girl, Olivia Hope. Little health Olivia is my daughter’s first child and my first grandchild. It was a joy sharing this special time with my oldest and even more so as we “ooh” and “ah” over the baby, hours at a time. And, just days after the delivery, my daughter looked like she barely had just given birth. She credits it all to the yoga she had been doing. Now it is time to start doing yoga with the baby.

The experience with my daughter has inspired me to become certified in prenatal yoga. I fly to New York on Mother’s Day to begin a five day intensive training the following week. Motherhood has been my greatest joy in my life with two beautiful daughters and now another little girl who will call me Grammy Sal. I truly look forward

udy had lived in her home at 911 Cardinal Dr in Zionsville for over 30 years, but she was now retired & ready to have some fun! She called Jennifer about selling the house so she could move to downtown Indy.

She wanted to be able to walk to Colts games and to be close to her adult kids. It took Judy a long time to pull the trigger, but when she finally did, Jennifer helped her purge, stage & price her home to sell at top dollar. It worked!

The house was sold for list price in just four days, which was actually a little unnerving to Judy, who had no idea where she was going to move! But who can turn down that kind of offer? Everybody stepped it up, found a great condo for Judy to move to, and set a closing date. The inspections went smoothly. The appraisal was favorable. In the end, this one turned out to be a smooth, clean deal…just the kind Jennifer likes!

As for the baby, now it is time to do yoga. You are never too old or, in this case, too young. One of my favorite teachers for Children’s Yoga, Alli Louthain, sent the following note and link to a video with her baby: “What does a newborn do besides eat, sleep and get their diaper changed? Yoga of course!

Take ten minutes to do some really cool bonding with your infant and help develop motor skills and brain cells! One is never too young to start feeling the benefits of yoga!

Looking back at old computers Commentary by Ward Degler I just replaced my 10-year-old laptop computer with a used one five years newer and a bunch of gigabytes more powerful for plain talk less than $300. That got me thinking about the price tags on early computers.

The very first “personal computer,” built in 1957 was the IBM 610. It was the size of a refrigerator and cost $55,000.

The Commodore desktop computer cost $1,300 in 1980 - about what my MacBook Pro cost three years ago.

I remember in the early 80s my dad crowing proudly about his TRS 80 that he bought at Radio Shack for $800. You had to load cassette tapes into it to make it work and each line of type had to start with the next sequential number. I remember getting a letter from him. The last line said, “680: Love, Dad.” In the mid 1980s I got one of the new, morepowerful computers at work. It had a 150-megabyte hard drive and a whopping 20 megs of memory. Later when we started our own business our operations manager had the biggest, baddest, most powerful computer available. It had a half-gig hard drive and an unprecedented 40 megs of memory. It was also the most expensive at a thousand bucks-plus.

An ad in today’s paper offers a new desktop computer with a 160-gig hard drive and two gigs

TRS 80

of memory for $129. It also has a high-resolution color monitor and wireless Internet capability.

To put this into perspective, your new smartphone is about the same speed as the average computer available in 1990. And your $400 iPad is faster than any computer made prior to 1994, and for a fraction of the cost.

I can hardly wait to see what things cost next year.

The quirkiest of the quirky:

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Zionsville’s Off Main Street Players will perform the popular musical this month

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com It’s middle school and it’s awkward. That is the setting for the next Off Main Street Players’ performance.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spellcover story ing Bee took home six Tony Awards in 2005, and now it is coming to Zionsville with the town’s very own nonprofit community theater troupe.

“It’s a really fun show,” said show director Lynne Manning. “It’s a musical so it’s different for us and just really fun.”

The show The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a one-act musical comedy written by Rebecca Feldman, with music and lyrics written by William Finn. The show chronicles a middle-school spelling bee experience for six students and the three adults judging and assisting them.

“It’s just quirky,” Manning said. “They are all just trying to find their way through life as depicted in the spelling bee. It really shows that we’re all a little quirky, and middle school is the most quirky time.”

Manning, who has directed two previous shows for the Off Main Street Players and is the drama director for Zionsville West Middle School, said that the show opens with a monologue by character Rona Lisa Peretti.

Peretti, played by Rachel McFadden, is the third annual Putnam County Spelling Bee winner, who is now a coordinator for the event. The show then follows the stressors, difficulties and joys the contestants go through during the bee.

During each performance, the cast will select four members of the audience to be a part of the improvisation segments of the show.

“It is absolutely a lot of fun,” said musical director Doug Krantz, of Carmel. “I met Lynne several years ago and I’ve just loved working with her on these shows. I teach the cast the music so Lynne can do her directing and it works great.”

In spite of the fun-loving atmosphere on stage, Manning is quick to point out that this show is not meant for young families.

“It is intended for mature audiences,” she said. “There is some low level raunchiness, and some adult humor and adult situations, but it makes the middle school environment interesting.”

Ray Cortopassi, the Off Main Street Players managing director, said that the show is really PG-13 and has presented a unique set of challenges because it is a musical.

“It’s a really popular show,” Cortopassi said. “We’ve wanted to do this show for a long time … because it has such charm with audiences. But it’s got some choice words here and there.”

The company This musical is only the second to have ever been performed by Off Main Street Players, a group that reinvented community theater in 2005 when Cortopassi and friend Bret Brewer decided that Zionsville needed a theater troupe.

Cortopassi, a member of the Fox 59 news team and a Zionsville resident, said it all started at a church function, when he and Brewer first met and starting talking about their mutual love of performing.

“I hadn’t done theater in years,” Cortopassi said. “I did community theater in Chicago, but once I got my first job I had to quit.”

Learning that in 1966 a group of Zionsville theater lovers formed the Off Main Street Players, Cortopassi and Brewer decided to bring the group back to life. The first show the group performed was Plaza Suite in 2005.

In the nearly 10 years of performing, the Off Main Street Players have sometimes performed up to four shows per year.

“It’s really too many for a volunteer group of actors,” Cortopassi said. “And it can’t work if you don’t have people willing to step up.”

He said that aside from the nine actors in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, there are people on the sidelines who make the shows happen. One such person is the man who designs and builds sets for the shows, Dave Tucker.

“He’s done the last several shows,” Cortopassi said. “And it just proves that (community theater) would see a demise without people like him.”

Marcus Waye, a Fishers resident who drives to Zionsville to perform with the Off Main Street Players, is acting in the bee as William Barfay, an arrogant speller.

Aside from his role in the show, Waye is the board secretary for the Off Main Street Players.

“This is my group,” Waye said. “There are groups in Carmel and Fishers but this is my group. It’s just a lot of fun, and you get to meet a lot of great people. Plus, it’s an escape from your everyday life.”

Kicking knee fat to the curb

FRO M T H E B A C K S H OP The few, proud … the voters And so another primary election has come and gone, with much discussion in the aftermath about low voter turnout. What has been missing from the discourse, though, has been examination. We can’t for any reason understand why Boone County voters stayed away from the polls – in droves, as they say. In our county, a paltry 16.3 percent of registered voters turned out to try to make a difference for their communities and our state and nation. To be so disconnected from the opportunity to reward or deny those seeking office is pure abdication if you believe the national polls. We’re told millenials, especially, were no-shows. To that group we would say, “People, this is your future. Are you satisfied with $17.5 trillion in national debt? Are you happy to have the state run (perhaps into the ground financially) a mass transit system? Your future! Your dime, your dance floor.” The sweeping back in of incumbents nationally was similarly troubling to us, especially on the Republican side of the aisle, where all the ineffective lapdogs seemingly have been rewarded with another term.

The two-party system, as it exists today, wins with a low voter turnout. By not participating, we play into the establishment’s hands, and that’s why nothing ever changes. But is this what our home county looks like now? We don’t understand how any race in last Tuesday’s polling could be considered “not sexy enough” to bring out the vote. Every single race mattered. It’s about you, your community, your state, your nation and (ta-da!) your wallet. If you truly want change, then you will have voted in the primary, because that is the election that more often than not determines whether incumbents stay or go. The question becomes, then: Do you really want change?

A success story

Commentary by Terry Anker

We humans are a collaborative lot. In spite of the occasional primitive provincial urges, we manage to work together in advancing our mutual interests with some regularity. It is on full display when the six distinct chambers of commerce in Hamilton County come together for the immensely popular Hamilton County Chambers Collaborative Luncheon. The chambers deploy their collective power to recruit top-shelf national speakers to address a crowd well north of 500 people. It makes good sense. By identifying common interests and challenges, these business and community leaders accomplish so very much more than might be attainable if isolated.

Speaking to the packed house at the Ritz Charles, Patricia Martin, author of RenGen: Tipping the Culture, shared her extensive research on intergenerational interaction and even more specifically on the unique attributes of the socalled Millennial Generation. She warned of predilections that the Baby-Boom and Gen X folks might carry for this new crowd of Americans that insinuate an entitled – if not outright lazy –

approach to work and community involvement.

Sure, there are distinct differences regarding the application of one’s work ethic, but research shows these kids care a ton about success. In fact, it measures as the top objective of a life well lived. Being safe and free from crime was a distant second; and education followed closely as number three.

Success is a vexing term at any age. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the nuanced meaning of its attainment must most assuredly elude those who have the minimum seniority on the planet. So only in time will this word find its meaning for these young folks. But one can be bolstered by the priority placed on productivity. Won’t its mere pursuit, whether in building empires or homeless shelters, be to the benefit of us all?

Q U O T E OF T H E W EEK “I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.”

– Pablo Picasso

The first time I wore shorts this year I made a horrifying discovery. At some point between last November and now, I achumor quired knee fat. KNEE FAT! I ask you, good people of central Indiana, how does one even develop cellulite at the knee? And no, it’s not actually on the cap or anything, but right above, meaning everything from the hip area and upper thigh region conspired against me to slide down towards my most needed of all joints. How could this have happened?

Do I gain weight in the chest area? No, of course, not. That would be too convenient. Do I gain it in the stomach, where I could smoosh it all in with control-top undergarments? No again.

All of my extra lard settles in the third quartile, so unless I’m committed to Bermudas or Capris, the whole world is gonna see it. My pasty, white skin isn’t helping either; it’s like I’ve highlighted all the dimples with a halogen spot.

But I digress. The point of all of this is that I am now highly motivated to seriously get back into to shape. Sure I fooled myself into thinking doing one 30-minute Insanity workout a week could keep this 40-plus old body in top form, but I’ve always known it wasn’t enough. Even the push-ups I’ve added in to meet my New Year’s Resolution of kick-ass arms aren’t doing much. My solution? A triathlon! Not an Ironman or Olympic or even a Sprint, but a 400-meter swim, 12-mile bike, and 5K jog for babies. It’s scheduled for the first weekend in August, giving me about three months to prepare. And now that I’ve announced it to you, my adoring public, I am fully vested.

Admittedly, I am nervous. I’ve never done anything like this before. I can run and bike and swim, just not all that well and definitely not consecutively for the sixty to ninety minutes it’ll take to survive. I’m also concerned about training. I have a 10-year old mountain bike with sketchy handle bars, no pool, and very little free time. But I’ll figure it out. I cannot go through summer with this extra poundage on my lower thighs, and I want to model healthy living for my kids. Besides, according to a schedule I downloaded from the Internet (where everything is true and trustworthy!), I really only need about two hours a week to fit in each of the three disciplines. A little freestyle here, a little cycling there, eat some carbs, drink some water. How hard can it possibly be?

So goodbye, knee fat! You must find somewhere else to reside. This momma’s wearing shorts come summer. Peace out.

Mad about MAD magazine

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Albert B. Feldstein passed away the end of last month at age 88. The memory of his work, the importance of his legacy and humor the effect his magazine had on me (and millions of others) back in the ’50s and ’60s makes me smile.

Feldstein was the editor of MAD magazine from 1956 until 1984. He was just one of a cast of creative writers and cartoonists who changed the landscape of humor and influenced a generation of baby boomers. MAD’s material was not as caustic or risqué as Lenny Bruce’s or George Carlin’s, but in its own way, it was just as subversive, mainly because on the surface it appeared gentler. It poked fun at American institutions (family, politics, relationships, movie plots), not by offending, but by educating and challenging the younger generation to think critically.

Specific covers of the magazine are etched in my memory. Most were graced by Alfred E. Neuman, a Howdy-Doodyish looking fellow (now, with an eerie resemblance to both Bush 43 and Barack Obama) who came to represent MAD. It was Feldman who selected this likeness to be the publication’s mascot. The rest is mystery.

Was the character a buffoon? A nerd? A savant?

No matter – Alfred’s constant mantra “What, Me Worry?” brilliantly balanced the satirical content of the magazine with a dose of coping advice for youngsters like myself. After the Three Mile Is-

land nuclear incident in 1979, Alfred’s refrain was briefly changed to “Yes, Me Worry.”

The cover that preceded the 1960 presidential election proclaimed “Congratulations, Mr. Nixon— We were with you all the way.” If you flipped the magazine over, the alternative front cover read: “Congratulations, Mr. Kennedy—We were with you all the way.” The political hedging was a commentary, of course, on punditry and slippery journalism … and it is just as fresh today.

Another feature of MAD magazine was “The Lighter Side” by cartoonist Dave Berg. Berg lived in my hometown of New Rochelle, not a mile from my house. He was the precursor, I believe, to the kind of the observational humor that comprises contemporary comedy. His cartoon panels ended with biting observations about life in a typical family, often lampooning Roger Kaputnik, his own alter ego, in the strip.

I did very little research for this article, relying totally on memories from almost 50 years ago.

My old teachers back in junior high school would probably have admonished that this is not a journalistic way to write about events that occurred a half century ago. All I can say is: “What, Me Worry?”

‘Sleeping Beauty’ brings tutus and princesses to the Tarkington

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Princess Aurora will be played by dancer Erika Cole, left, and Nicole Retzlaff will play a lilac fairy in the Central Indiana Dance Ensemble’s presentation of “The Sleeping Beauty.”

(Submitted photo)

“The Sleeping Beauty” • Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing arts in Carmel • 2 and 7:30 p.m., May 17 • Tickets start at $23 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble will stage the familiar tale of “The Sleeping Beauty” at the Tarkington Theatre on May 17, and the cast believes it should appeal to a wide audience.

“It’s a princess story, so of course you’ll get the little girls, but it’s also a very technically proficient ballet so it’s great for those who really know ballet,” Ballet said Erika Cole, who plays Princess Aurora.

It’s one of the most well-known fairy tales, but the ballet version varies slightly from Disney’s animated film. There’s no Maleficent, the evil villain created for the 1959 film. The original tale was turned into a ballet in Russia in 1890 and features the evil fairy godmother Carabosse who casts a spell on the princess because she is jealous that she isn’t invited to her christening. As a result, Princess Aurora will prick her finger on her 16th birthday and fall into a timeless sleep until a handsome prince wakes her with a kiss.

Artistic Director Suzanne Delay carefully picked costumes and dance movements to portray the forces of good versus evil in this production.

“The good fairies, the lilac fairies, are in all beautiful, colorful tutus with sparkles and soft movements and beautiful lighting, but the Carabosse character, the evil fairy, is in black and has evil dancers with him with heavier music that is more ominous,” she said.

Delay conducted open auditions to fill out the cast of more than 80 dancers. The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble has a company of about 50 dancers ages 8 to 18, so plenty of new faces were added for this production.

Three professional guest performers were brought in for the show. Cole, who plays Aurora, will be dancing with Grant Dettling, who plays the prince.

Both Cole and Dettling danced together for the Dayton Ballet company for about eight years, so they have chemistry. Cole recently retired from the company and moved to Carmel. Professional dancer Steven Wright plays Carabosse.

Cole said she hopes that families will come see a beautiful interpretation of a classic fairy tale.

“People enjoy seeing a different version of the story without words,” she said, “And it’s a ballet with a happy ending.”

Active versus passive management Commentary by Adam Cmejla

If you have money in the market, specifically in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, you may be wondering: Should I Finance use index or actively-managed investments?

While everyone’s situation is different, let’s take a look at the difference between active and passive management.

The first concept to understand about active management is that there are two broad-level ways to manage investments and they involve fundamental and technical analysis of the market and investments.

Fundamental analysts consider such things as the past records of assets, earnings, sales, products, management and markets of a company in order to try to predict a company’s future success or failure. This would include analyzing the financial results of business decisions made by management.

Technical analysis, on the other hand, is concerned with analyzing the price movement patterns of a company’s securities.

Technical analysts use charts or computer programs to identify and project price trends in a market, security, fund or futures contract. They are attempting to predict future price movements based upon past price movements, and the underlying fundamentals are not important or taken into consideration.

In summary, fundamentalists try to assess the “true” value of a stock, assuming that the market price will eventually adjust to the intrinsic or true value, while technicians try to predict the price movements of the stock and don’t care about why the price will move.

What is interesting about both of these measures is that they are both trying to predict the future movements of the markets based on current data. The equivalent is also true of a weather forecaster: using current and past data, they are trying to predict the weather tomorrow, this weekend and next week. Moreover, they are also trying to “one up” the next station. I have seen the 10-day forecast be “one-upped” by the 14-day forecast, and I have even seen forecasters put out 21-day reports.

In the end, though, it’s better served for investors if they have the “proper equipment” for whatever the weather brings: umbrella, sunscreen, a sweatshirt, a pair of shorts and a windbreaker.

The equivalent in portfolio management is to ensure that you have a well-diversified and allocated portfolio, ready to capitalize on most any market situation and circumstance.

How can this be? Four months have already passed in 2014. Are you like most people and you made some New Year’s resoluFitness tions? Now that you have settled into the year, have some or all of those resolutions gone back into the drawer to be pulled out again next year? There is still a way to plan for, take action towards and achieve those goals!

The first thing to do is prioritize. Take a look back at the resolutions you made and pick the one that is most important to you right now.

Okay, now that you have figured that out, take that resolution and make it more specific. For example, if the goal is to lose weight, break it down into how much weight you are going to lose – or if the goal is to improve nutrition, what foods do you want to introduce into your diet? The more specific and realistic a goal is the more easily you can pick out the appropriate action steps.

Next is to take your specific goal and turn it into action steps. What specific actions are you going to do to start moving towards this goal?

For example, losing 10 pounds turns into walking for 30 minutes every other day and eating breakfast every day. Improving nutrition turns

into eating one serving of fruit at breakfast and eating one serving of vegetables at lunch and dinner. I believe in focusing on the positive instead of focusing on what you are giving up. Yes, certain aspects of your life will need to change for these action steps to occur, but nothing is off the table completely if you know that it is always your choice.

Lastly, decide when you are going to start your action steps and prepare accordingly. If eating fruit at breakfast is an action, make sure you have it in the fridge for each morning. On the days you are going to walk, set out your clothes and shoes in a convenient spot. Action is more easily done if we prepare ourselves, plan for it and create the environment that will make our actions successful. Your resolutions don’t have to be made year after year and never realized.

Make them realistic for your life, make them something you feel positive about, turn them into specific action steps, prepare for those action steps and then go for it!

Michelangelo’s Marble Miracles Commentary by Don Knebel

In 1501, the overseers of Florence, Italy’s recently-completed Duomo gave a 26-year-old sculptor an already chiseled abantravel doned block of Carrara marble to see what he could make of it. What the young Michelangelo made was David, probably the most famous statue in history.

The overseers had hoped Michelangelo, already known for his Pieta in Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, could use the discarded – but still valuable – marble to create a prosaic statue to fit into a niche near the roofline of their domed cathedral. Michelangelo had grander ideas. He worked more than two years in his Florence studio releasing his classic image of David from the marble. When completed in 1504, David was more than 17 feet tall and weighed 12,000 pounds, making the intended location high above the ground impractical. More important, the citizens of Florence saw in the heroic figure of David a reflection of their own resistance to domination from Rome and the Medici’s and wanted the statue to be seen. They positioned David just outside city hall, his watchful gaze directed toward Rome. The statue quickly became the symbol of the Florentine Republic and its leading role in the Italian Renaissance.

The sinewy David demonstrated Michelangelo’s extraordinary knowledge of human anatomy, garnered from corpses he dissected when only 18. But the anatomical correctness was too much for Queen Victoria, who received a replica of the statute as a gift from the Duke of Tuscany in 1857. She ordered that an 18-inch wide plaster fig leaf be hung strategically on hooks when she and other royal ladies visited the museum where David was displayed.

After braving the elements for 369 years, Michelangelo’s masterpiece was moved into Florence’s Galeria dell’Accademia for protection and its position outside city hall taken up by a replica.

Visitors to the Accademia can also see Michelangelo’s four “Unfinished Slaves,” in which incomplete figures seem to be straining to emerge from the surrounding marble. Whether Michelangelo abandoned these works or intentionally left them unfinished to show the struggles of human

Learn how to cook quinoa People always ask me: what is Quinoa and how do you cook it?

Quinoa is an ancient grain from the Andes of Peru and Bolivia.

Over five thousand years ago, the indigenous people regarded quinoa as more valuable than gold. The Incas considered quinoa to be their most sacred food, and so they named it “La Chisiya Mama” – “The Mother of Grain.”

These are some of the amazing qualities of quinoa: • High in protein • Contains all eight essential amino acids • Ideal for those with gluten intolerance, wheat allergies other digestive disorders • Helps build muscle and promote weight loss Note: Always rinse quinoa before it is prepared. This can be done by rinsing quinoa under running water in a strainer or soaking the quinoa in a bowl for one to two hours, while rinsing or soaking it gently rub it between your fingers to get rid of any remaining bitterness.

Preparing plain quinoa on the weekend and leaving it in the refrigerator will allow you to speedily throw together many recipes in a snap!

Enjoy this quick and healthy recipe!

CARROT QUINOA Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa washed, 1/4 teaspoon virgin oil, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped zucchini, 1/2

cup chopped red bell pepper, 2 cup bottle carrot juice, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro Directions: 1. Heat saucepan over medium flame and add quinoa, toast stirring constantly until grains turn light brown (nutty fragrance for 6 minutes). Set aside.

2. Return saucepan to heat and add oil, onion, celery, zucchini and red bell pepper.

3. Cover and cook until soften for 5 minutes.

4. Stir carrot juice, bring to a low boil.

5. Stir quinoa, nutmeg, salt, pepper.

6. Cover and simmer until liquid has been absorbed and quinoa is tender.

7. Add cilantro and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

A retreat designed for year-round entertainment Commentary by Larry Greene

ORIGINAL DECK/PATIO: This home, located in the Village of West Clay in West Carmel, was built in 2004. The homeblueprint for owners’ vision was to improvement create an outdoor space that could be enjoyed year-round: “We moved in during the peak of the summer and spent a lot of time at local pools.

We decided to add a pool of our own and do something about the deck.” While the pool builder focused on the pool, the owners realized they needed some assistance creating a complete master plan of the backyard. After looking at several 3D designs of the entire backyard, they decided to design an open covered porch which would connect the indoors with the pool area.

EXTERIOR FINISH: The original deck was removed and a new stamped concrete patio with steps was installed. Structural beams and 6x6 structural columns were installed to support the new roof. To give the porch a cohesive look with the rest of the house, all of the cedar trim was painted to match the existing trim and matching shingles were installed. Trex composite railing in a black color was installed around the perimeter of the porch and on the small staircase leading into the home.

UPGRADED FEATURES: In order to deliver on the homeowners’ vision, several upgrades were incorporated into the final design. An outdoor

RESULT: The owners were pleased they took the time to connect the pool area to the home by creating the new open-air entertainment area. The project exceeded their goal of creating the ideal spot for relaxation and entertainment for their family and friends.

kitchen was added with a built-in gas grill, mini fridge, storage cabinets and a limestone countertop. Infrared heaters were also installed in the ceiling directly above the dining area to keep guests comfortable throughout all seasons. The final touch includes a relaxing seating area just off the kitchenette with a perfect view of the wall-mounted flat screen television.
