The Zionsville High School Aquatic Center is gearing up for the fall season with multiple lessons and classes education being offered along with open swim times. While the pool has seen a steady increase in patrons, many still aren’t aware the pool is available for their use.

“We didn’t realize everything that was offered at the pool and how large and beautiful it is,” said Zionsville resident Ginger DeCoursey. “Our family comes to open swim now, we participate in lessons, and the kids love the movie nights.

So many people don’t even know it’s here and what’s offered.”

The Aquatic Center consists of an eight-lane lap pool, a diving well with two diving boards and an instructional pool with zero-depth entry.

This fall, the pool will be open to the public for lap swim and family swim every day of the week along with group swimming lessons for beginner to advanced swimmers, Kindergarten after-school programs and a master’s program, plus much more. Check the online schedule for offerings and times.

Aquatics Director Lisa Brown is always adding fun, new programs and thinking of ways to make the pool more accessible to the public.

“We have so many opportunities for the public to enjoy the pools. We offer group lessons for adults and children, parent/tot classes and DiveIn Movies once a month,” she said. “My desire is for this to be a facility that is used and loved by the community.”

We are empty nesters again. I’m talking about the family of wrens that set up housekeeping in the hanging geranium on the plain talk front porch last month.

For the first few days, they flew back and forth with building materials: leaves, twigs, grass and even a long piece of string that was originally attached to a helium balloon left over from Easter.

Then the female settled into the nest among the leaves while the male scoured up delectable servings of grasshoppers, moths and crickets for her, and stood watch at various outposts around the porch. Whenever anyone walked nearby, he would let fly with raspy epithets that would make a sailor blush. When there were no threats, he would sing clear, magical arias that would challenge the best of Beverly Sills at the Met. A couple weeks later, the female emerged, and both adults launched a high speed feeding campaign that would rival a military mess hall in a combat zone. No sooner had one left the

nest, than the other would return with something yummy for the kids. After a few days, we began to hear cheeping from the nest, and the parents picked up the pace to feed the hungry youngsters.

Then, last weekend, we saw a small bundle of feathers flap clumsily from the nest to the screen door, latch on and hang upside down while Mom and Dad chirped encouragement from the sidelines. Then a second bundle skittered through the air and clung precariously atop the hummingbird feeder – while a confused hummingbird tried to eat.

My wife and I watched for nearly an hour. The next day the whole family was gone and there was a palpable silence where the singing had been.

We can only hope they’ll be back next year.

Local pie shop gains national attention

By Abby Walton • news@currentzionsville.com

Even before you enter My Sugar Pie bake shop in Zionsville, the amazing aroma of baking pie crust hits you from the achievement sidewalk. The intoxicating smell lures you inside, taking you back to memories of your mom or grandma’s kitchen. This week marks the second anniversary for the shop at 40 E. Pine St. While the location is fairly new, the business, started

by Zionsville resident Kelly Maucere, has actually been around for several years.

“We started out by selling our pies at the Cobblestone Grill in Zionsville and it just expanded from there,” she said.

Although Maucere always loved to bake, she said she never thought of it as a career option.

“I was a teacher for 11 years and then stayed home with my two boys for five years,” Maucere said.

But it was during a Komen three-day walk that Maurcere had an epiphany.

“You walk 20 miles a day so you have a lot of time to think. During that time, I realized that after reaching this goal, I needed to have another challenge,” she said.

With friends and family always complimenting her pies, Maurcere decided to try selling them. So armed with her mother’s recipes, she started out making Dutch Apple and Hoosier Sugar Crème pie.

After selling her pies at Cobblestone Grill, Maucere said she began selling her pies at the Zionsville Farmer’s market. From there, a business plan started to form. During that time, Maucere also got her pies into some of the most recognized restaurants in the state, such as St. Elmo’s Steakhouse and all the Harry and Izzy’s locations. She also just went into business serving pies at the Omni Hotel in downtown Indianapolis.

“Before this, I didn’t know anything about how to run a business. It’s exciting because I’m constantly learning,” Maucere said.

Another aspect of the business that Maucere

said always was part of the plan was selling her pies online.

“We officially started selling online in 2008, but before that, we did lots of beta testing,” she said.

They sent pies to friends all across the country, testing out what types of pies could ship, how they would ship them and the best company to actually do the shipping.

“Oddly enough, the United States Postal Service was the best company, so we use them to ship our pies,” Maurcere said.

It’s this aspect of the business that caught the eye of Country Living magazine.

“They called and asked us to ship them a Hoosier Sugar Crème pie,” she said.

This led to the national publication naming My Sugar Pie one of the Best Mail-Order Pie companies in the United States. Besides Country Living, My Sugar Pie has been featured on Oprah.com and is set to be featured in a few other national magazines.

“Someday, I want to be the Starbucks of pie,” Maurcere said.

With talks of building another location, branching into other states and new products like mini pies and pie pops, there’s no doubt that one day you’ll be able to eat a My Sugar Pie desert while dining in a restaurant in New York or Los Angeles.

“It’s all about doing something that you love and setting a goal,” Maurcere said.

As students head off to school, there will be nine new buses on the road to get them to class.

The new buses – at education a cost of $532,690 – were among several items discussed by the Zionsville Community School Board Aug. 12 as the new school year got underway.

Transportation Director Amy Eaton said the cost for the new buses was around $175,000 less than was budgeted for the Bus Replacement Fund. All the buses being replaced are in their 14th or 15th year of service.

The 2013-2014 school year also means the opening of Boone Meadow Elementary School.

Supt. Dr. Scott Robison said the district hired seven new teachers to accommodate enrollment growth as well as re-assigning existing teachers to improve class sizes. The total cost for these new teachers is around $438,000.

Although Robison said the district expects to receive a net increase of $481,000 in state tuition support, the amount of money given per student continues to decline. This decrease in state funding means ZCS continues to face even greater funding problems than was addressed through the referendum funding.

Robison said even though 26 new teachers

were hired last year with referendum funding, elementary class sizes continue to grow through increasing enrollment and a decline in tuition support from the state.

“It’s a matter of simple mathematics that if our enrollment is continuing to increase and the amount we receive per pupil continues to decline, our shortfall will continue to grow.” Robison said. “The referendum funds are a tremendous help in restoring programs and keeping class sizes manageable, but they will not eliminate the inequities in the state funding formula.”

Also, the board held a first reading about changes to school rules about bullying. This is to comply with new state laws regarding bullying. Some changes include staff training on bullying, reporting bullying, discipline policies and prevention.

During the meeting, steps were also taken to advertise the 2014 budget. A public hearing is scheduled for Oct. 13. If you’d like to find additional information about the budget, it’ll be posted 30 days before the public hearing at www.zcs.k12.in.us.

No

doubt now

“I love witnessing people walk into the gallery and saying, ‘Wow, look at that’ or ‘These paintings are so joyful,’” she said.

This display of happiness really comes from the vibrant colors of her mother’s work.

“I usually am inspired by the simple but beautiful aspects of my surroundings – my husband Jack’s garden, a reflection on my blue kitchen counter, flowers sent from family or friends, or my son Jackson’s pottery – the things that give me deep joy. Also music! I listen to jazz and classical in the studio and my favorites are Bill Evans and Edward Elgar,” Kellar said. “Color always inspires me and I am so happy to know that it inspires others.”

It’s this inspiration that got Lolly and her mother thinking about turning Kellar Mahaney into a brand name.

“We started looking at how her canvases would transfer over to digital prints and they worked,” Lolly said.

The prints did so well that a company licensed Mahaney’s work and now makes digital prints to sell in national retailers like Z Gallerie and World Market.

“It’s amazing to go into a store and see mom’s work,” Lolly said.

From there, the mother-and-daughter duo used the computer to see how the paintings would look as fabric to cover a pillow or linens for a table.

Artist Kellar Mahaney has gone from hiding her gender to being known nationwide

By Abby Walton • news@currentinzionsville In the 1950s, a young girl named Edie Kellar went to Wittenberg University in Ohio with dreams of becoming an artist. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts cover story degree and went on to The Ohio State University where she got her Masters of Fine Arts degree in Studio Painting.

After getting married, Kellar continued painting. As more people noticed her work, they encouraged her to enter contests. Kellar would later tell her daughter, Lolly Mahaney, she was afraid people wouldn’t like her paintings because they were done by a woman. At that point in history, the feminist movement was in its infancy and male, abstract painters like Jackson Pollack, were all the rage.

“She wanted people to base their judgments solely on her work. So, she took her maiden and married names and came up with her painting name, Kellar Mahaney. That way people wouldn’t know if the artist was a man or a woman,” her

daughter, Lolly Mahaney, said.

From that point, Kellar Mahaney would continue to show her art and win several awards, becoming an accomplished painter. But when she moved to Zionsville in the 1970s, her painting took a backseat. She founded the Munce Art Center and later became executive director of the SullivanMunce Cultural Center. After retiring in 2001, Mahaney had more time to paint, so Lolly said her father, Jack, built a studio above their house.

“As mom’s work started to really develop, I wanted to start a gallery to showcase her art,” Lolly said.

With her own experience running art galleries, Lolly opened a space in 2008.

“Mom said she was OK with me opening a gallery as long as she wasn’t the only artist,” Lolly said.

So after a few years housing her mother’s work as well as other regional artists, Lolly said she thought her mother had enough work to have a space of her own. In 2011, the Kellar Mahaney Gallery opened at 115 S. Main St.

“I am thrilled and excited with the whole process, because we can now reach such a wide audience,” Kellar said. “I am also content because I paint for my own artistic pleasure. Since I come from a fine-art background, it pleases me to see how beautifully my paintings translate to other decorative applications such as fabrics.”

According to her daughter, Kellar always has been a forward-thinking woman.

“I love how committed she is to each piece and how serious she takes her work. Her art really is timeless,” Lolly said.

The Kellar Mahaney Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. There, you can find Kellar Mahaney originals, prints and a small batch of fabrics that are produced locally for the Gallery Pillow Collection.

As well as paintings on canvas, postcards depicting Kellar Mahaney’s paintings are available for purchase. (Photo by Jillyann Burns)

For Lolly, taking her mother’s work to the next level is truly a labor of love.

“I get to work in a place I love, with people I love,” she said.

Her mother agrees.

“It is just the perfect situation! I adore her, she is my best girlfriend, she’s so professional and accomplished and we have a wonderful time working creatively together,” she said.

As for Keller, it’s been more than 60 years since that girl from Ohio thought she had to hide her identity to achieve her dreams. A lot has changed since then and now, with the help of family, Edie’s dream is a reality that women and men can appreciate.

Another month, please Commentary by Terry Anker With the coming end of the annual lengthy break from the traditional school year upon us, the chatter around the house heralds the impending “end” of summer. As a fan of the long, warm days, I prefer to hang on to the calendar demarcation of its demise – Sept. 22.

But a return to the standard daily routine of bus stops and copious homework most assuredly will remind me that, indeed, the halcyon days have succumbed to the inevitable march of time. Perhaps someday, when the kids are grown and gone, we can return to a summer only ending with falling leaves and the smell of campfires. It might be like awaking without an alarm clock rousting one from slumber. The first light of dawn, corresponding with one’s own internal need for rest, would softly awaken to the new day.

Without regard to the flaming horseman that announces it, summer, at least as it is celebrated in the Anker home, is lunging to-

ward its final weeks. As with the close of most important moments, it leads one to pause and reflect on these months that have passed.

How will we remember the summer of 2013?

Will we remember it at all? Did we travel? Did we travel too much? Did we laugh? Did we cry?

Did we live these expansive days to their fullest potential? Did we take pause to enjoy the simple pleasures wrought by the sunshine on our shoulders?

All in all for our family, it has been a good season full of all the things that one expects to accompany the time. Perhaps the greatest test of enjoyment is to ask one’s self whether we are ready for the summer to end. From where I sit, the answer is an emphatic NO – another month or two would be just fine.

Were we perplexed? How about angered?

Maybe we were shocked? We’re talking about Congress staffers’ exemption from ObamaCare (if it ever happens), so the answers to those questions are no, no and no. We actually, and sadly, expected it. It got us thinking about the whole ObamaCare mess and the “dialogue” between Democrats and Republicans on the subject.

Republicans are determined to stop ObamaCare by any and all means necessary. The oft-repeated argument from Dems against the GOP effort is that that GOP has offered no alternative to the legislation. We’re of the opinion that no alternative is necessary. It’s simply a bad bill, and it needs to be killed. And yet, as always happens, what we’ll see is what we’ll deserve. Shockingly, the polls on ObamaCare consistently show majority opposition, and yet it continues to be shoved down our throats.

Even Obama’s strongest constituency, the union worker, is complaining about the bill.

Tells you something, doesn’t it? If the plan is as good as the boss says, why are there so many given exemptions, which he doles out as favors?

We don’t believe his plan, as written, will survive. Although, this bill is so bad and so costly, Congress will pass it, because Congress usually lets all of us down. Some form of the bill will rise. We believe strongly the president has more than a sneaking suspicion his plan, as we all know it, will continue to crumble at the edges and could ultimately implode. Again, he’s just taking care of his pals and buddies by exempting them. The crux of our beef: The majority of the rocket scientists in Washington want to force something down our throats, but they are too good for the legislation. How can that possibly be? We’ll tell you: America voted them into office, that’s how.

Thank God! School finally has started back. I know, I sound like a broken record (that’s an old version of a CD, kids) because I keep saying the same thing every August, but humor I really suck at parenting during the summer. Though I try my darndest to implement routine, I simply cannot compete with the beautifully rigid structure of the academic year.

Few if any of our supposed summer rules worked out this time around. Maybe it was because my husband Doo and I were gallivanting in North Africa for the better half of June or perhaps because our kids are older and aren’t as easy to coerce, but by the time we finally went Medieval on their butts about the chore chart and Amish Day, I was buying cartons of number two pencils and spiral notebooks. Seriously, trying to coax a teenager out of bed by noon was hard enough, let alone getting him to mow the yard before the wheat needed harvesting. And that reading program I was so gung-ho about in May? The only member of this family who set foot in a library was Doo, on the multiple occasions he needed to escape the chaos of our house.

Basically, I ended up fighting twice as many battles as usual while our minions did seemingly half the amount of work. But I take full responsibility for my children’s laziness. As a teacher,

summer is my break from reality, too. I have no desire to awake early and make sure the dog is walked before prime sun-burning hours. I don’t want to insist that the Xbox gets shut down only to have the boys nag me because they’re bored. And I’m certainly not going to dig my heels in when my daughters decide to turn their bathroom into a nail/make-up salon when they should be Cloroxing their toilet. Can’t a girl just read Nora Roberts in peace and quiet?

So, I am honestly thrilled that everyone, including I, is back to school. Despite the homework insanity and lunch drama that undoubtedly will begin to creep back into our lives, I love that the kids are out of the house and occupied for at least 50 percent of the day. I love that Doo is now the primary caregiver in the mornings and afternoons (as I am busy raking in the big bucks dealing with other people’s teens) and might soon feel compelled to do the dishes and laundry. I love that there will be purpose and order to our weeks, and that the calendar will again dominate our refrigerator.

I’ll probably change my tune next spring, but for now, thank God school is back! Peace out.

Who knew it was hiccups?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

It was Friday night and I had been at it for almost six minutes. “At your age, I’m not sure your heart can take this,” said my wife. Then to show how concerned she humor was, Mary Ellen burst out laughing.

Achoo! If I had known it was this easy to get such an appreciative response, I’d have sneezed 35 times in a row a lot earlier in our marriage.

My persistent sternutation (that’s sneezing) was, for some reason, a source of great merriment, far outweighing my fall last week down a full flight of stairs while I was vacuuming. In fairness to my wife, before the guffawing there is a brief span of time while she confirms I have not broken my spine or suffered a head trauma.

Then let the fun begin.

Achoo! (No. 36), although in all honesty this is just an estimate, because you don’t start counting sneezes until you realize it may be the beginning of a historic run, and then it may be too late to get an accurate count.

Achoo! (No. 37) and now Mary Ellen was wiping away the tears, asking me if there was possibly some grass stuck up my nose. At least I think that’s what she said. It was hard to understand her. However, in 33 years of marriage, that would have been the first inquiry of this nature. And we grew up in the ‘60s.

Achoo! (No. 38) and we were nearing a point where my wife’s side was starting to ache. I wondered whether her reaction to my situation had now equaled her hysterical response to my walking into a glass door at the Haversticks’ or banging my head under the kitchen sink after fixing the garbage disposal.

Achoo! (No. 39) and my sneezes were now more closely spaced which meant that poor Mary Ellen had virtually no time to breathe and was gasping for air. I felt bad for her. She had been having such a good time.

Achoo! (No. 40), but at that sneeze, I sensed a slight decline in her enjoyment of my predicament. Then I made the mistake of asking for a Kleenex. She handed me one of those tiny squares from a little package in her purse and for some reason this made her start laughing all over again.

There was no 41st sneeze. Calm reigned in the Wolfsie home. I wanted to watch a movie on cable so I picked an old favorite: “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.” Mary Ellen went upstairs to read. She said she wasn’t in the mood to laugh.

Senior special? Not today

Commentary by Mike Redmond

Well, it happened. Standing at the counter, the impossibly young cashier asked me whether I wanted … the senior special.

I realize I’m not as young as I used to be, or humor as young-looking. I realize the March of Time is inescapable. I realize that my once dark and luxuriant hair is now thinning and gray, that gravity has taken over where musculature has failed, that what once was a smooth countenance has achieved a certain craggy quality.

But still … the senior special? This could be a problem.

For one thing, I’m not certain I qualify. I’m 58.

Some places, the senior special kicks in when you’re 55 but in other places, you have to wait until you’re 60 or even 65. Make up your minds, people. Getting older is confusing enough without having a clear set of rules to go by.

Wait a minute. I think that’s the problem.

There are no clear rules as to what constitutes a senior.

Oh, sure, you can go by the artificial yardsticks they set up for you. Getting an AARP card, for example. It’s amazing how the very second you turn 50 years old, you get an AARP offer in the mail. It’s like Harry Potter turning 11 and getting his invitation to Hogwarts. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if AARP delivered them via magic owl,

just like the letters from Professor Dumbledore.

How seriously should this be taken? Not very, in my view. In fact, when my friend Frank and I got our newly-minted AARP cards, my idea was to burn them, like draft cards in the ‘60s. Frank thought better. He said we should take them out for a spin, eating dinner at 4 p.m. and demanding reduced admission prices at the movies.

So where does seniorism begin? I suppose you could go by the adage about only being as old as you feel, but this can be a fooler. I used to be way overweight and the toll on my body was excruciating. I actually feel younger today than I did a year ago. Does that mean I used to be a senior but I’m not anymore?

I’m beginning to think that senior status is just one of those things you can’t really define, at least not with 100-percent certainty. You just know it, for yourself, when it makes sense for you.

Which gets me back to the young girl behind the counter. I have to admit I was torn. I liked the idea of getting a discount, but I didn’t like the idea of being called a senior, so I passed.

I may be getting older, but I still have the ego of a man half my age.

“It’s been a true privilege to work side-by-side

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox parishioners prepared more than 72 dozen kourambiedes cookies (a butter cookie covered in powdered sugar) in preparation for GreekFest 2013.

with so many dedicated volunteers over the past three years,” said Lawrence N. Eleftheri, Greek Fest president. “Our goal has been to promote our culture and faith while bringing our parish family together in order to celebrate our heritage with the Central Indiana community. It’s been wonderful to see so many mem-

bers of our Parish involved as they donate time, energy, and resources for the benefit of our Holy Trinity family while having fun and building strong memories to be passed on to future generations.”

Presale coupon books are available at area Marsh supermarkets which will include free parking on church grounds. Purchase of a $50 coupon book includes premier parking and an additional $5 toward festival purchases.

WARMfest will close out summer

By Mark Johnson • editorial@youarecurrent.com

As the summer season begins to wind down, many people will undoubtedly look to make the most of the remaining days LIVE MUSIC of sunshine, warm weather and outdoor activities.

Many view the summer months as bookended by Memorial Day and Labor Day, with the latter serving as a kind of last hurrah for the summer months.

For this upcoming Labor Day weekend, Broad Ripple Park will help to close out summer on a high and festive note. On that weekend, the park will host the inaugural White River Arts & Music Festival, or WARMfest, a three-day music and arts festival that will feature local, regional and national acts as well as the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace.

WARMfest, though, has more than just an entertainment agenda. Part of the proceeds from the festival will go to help the Carl G. Fisher Society a non-profit organization that seeks to restore the White River to its original greatness as a site for entertainment and education.

“WARMfest is actually a vision in progress,” WARMfest Executive Director Dan Ripley said. “Our goal is to cultivate a stewardship of the White River. We wanted to create an event that would raise awareness first in Broad Ripple, then in the city of Indianapolis. Our goal is to revitalize and restore the area, to bring it back to the great resource that it once was. Our festival is about much more than just music.”

The impetus for the event began as a collaborative endeavor between Indy Parks & Recreation, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, and CGFS. That effort sought to clean up Broad Ripple Park’s shoreline, thus giving patrons of the park an unobstructed view of the White River.

“That was definitely one of the goals,” Ripley said.

“To clean up the shoreline and restore views to the park that haven’t been visible for years. This is nothing original. There is a rich history of Broad Ripple Park and White River. These were vacation and resort areas with amusement parks and what was, for many years, the largest outdoor pool in the state.”

Yet, those who attend WARMfest will be treated to a wide array of food, art, games and activities. A diverse group of musical acts will perform across five stages throughout the three days of the festival. Veteran performers such as Big Head Todd and the Monsters and Michael Franti & Spearhead will share the stage with up and coming artists such as Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, while local legend Jennie Devoe also will perform.

Ripley is very pleased with the musical lineup, a variety of styles and genres that truly offers something for everyone.

“We’ve partnered with promoters MOKB and that has been very beneficial to me. They did a great job with the talent. We are creating a festival that moves people and also provides funding and resources,” he said.

Five keys to success

Commentary by Sally Brown Bassett, Ph.D.

What did Amelia Earhart, Susan B. Anthony, Mother Teresa, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller and Madame C.J. on the mat Walker have in common? Passion and perseverance. If you have passion and perseverance about things in your own life, you will not only accomplish things you want to do, but you will also live and enjoy life to the fullest.

In third grade, I found myself bedridden for a year with rheumatic fever. I began collecting postcards that people would send me from their travels and dreamt of doing the same thing someday. I was blessed to have found a life passion at an early age that I pursued with persistence taking me to more than 130 countries.

For many years as a young professional career woman, I believed that passion and perseverance were the two keys to success. Later, as a working mother, I learned that there were three other keys to success to share.

The key to success that I still struggle to maintain is finding balance. To succeed and be happy, you need to be balanced mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually.

The fourth key to success is giving back. As you grow, you must give back and serve others.

After years in the travel and airline industry, it was one of the biggest highlights to begin offering “voluntourism” trips, where passengers would explore the destination as well as spend some time making a difference in orphanages, schools and make-shift clinics. My fondest travel memories have included working with children in India, Cuba, Cambodia, Kenya, Haiti, Belize, Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Serbia, South Africa, Uganda, Honduras and, most recently with kids near and dear to my heart in Costa Rica.

Last, but definitely not least, you must have faith to succeed. The type of faith where you know you are on the right track and give it up to a higher source. Faith takes you to the peaks of life and sees you through the valleys. Pray and you talk to God; meditate and you listen to Him. These keys to success can be used as your own guide through your life as you pursue your passions, persevere, stay balanced, give back during the process, and once you are on your own path, have faith that you are exactly where you are meant to be. Until next time… Namaste!

Free PAD screenings – If you have poor circulation in your legs, causing pain when you walk or stand, it could be a sign of peripheral artery disease, a condition that puts you at high risk for heart disease and stroke. Signs of PAD include: leg or hip pain when walking, numbness or tingling in legs, burning pain when resting and cold legs or feet. To assess your risk for PAD, Franciscan St. Francis Health is offering free non-invasive screenings from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., Aug. 24 at the Indianapolis hospital campus, 8111 S. Emerson Ave. To qualify for the screening, participants must be age 50 or older and have one or more of the following symptoms or risk factors: trouble walking that involves cramping or tiredness in the leg muscles, which is relieved by resting; a family history of vascular disease, such as PAD, aneurysm, heart attack or stroke; high blood pressure, heart disease, or other vascular disease; history of smoking. To make an appointment at the Legs for Life screening, call 782-4422, or toll free at 877-888-1777.

Evolution plays a role – Menopause is brought to you by evolution, thanks to men’s preference to mate with younger women. A study from a Canadian university, McMaster, appears to show that the evolutionary trigger led to women being infertile at older ages. – CBSNews. com via The Week

Chemical sweet tooth – There’s more than to loving sweets than just always having a craving. Chemically, human beings have a sweet tooth, simply because sugar is a carbohydrate.

As soon as you eat a chocolate, or any carbohydrate, the brain gets a signal to let serotonin flow – the happy brain chemical.

Encouragement may not work – A study from the University of Minnesota’s Marla Eisenberg shows that a hubby’s “encouragement” for weight loss can actually be detrimental.

Binge eating almost doubled for women in cases when their significant others gave ‘very much’ encouragement in comparison to those that didn’t have any such encouragement. – www.webmd.com

Start and end with gratitude Commentary by CJ McClanahan

A few months ago, my car was broken into and my laptop stolen.

Among other move the needle things, I had to buy a new PC, get the window of my car fixed, change all my passwords, reinstall new software and recreate a bunch of files that had been lost.

All told, I figured I lost at least a full day of productivity. It was extremely inconvenient, and I was very frustrated.

Within the next few weeks, on three separate occasions, a friend of ours lost a family member.

Each time I heard the news, I felt embarrassed that I had allowed myself to get so worked up about a lost PC. Why does it take a tragic event to provide perspective? Why do most people focus on the little irritations of daily life instead of counting their blessings?

If you’ve watched TV, listened to the radio or surfed the internet recently, then you know why.

We are constantly bombarded with the following message – “Your life is missing some-

thing. You lack a nice car, rock hard abs or a fully-funded 401k.”

All advertising is built on scarcity/fear. After hearing that type of message thousands of times a day, it’s difficult to keep things in perspective.

But you can do it. Here are some simple strategies to get you started.

First, start and end your day with a prayer of gratitude. In other words, count your blessings. I would encourage you to write them down.

Next, focus on the needs of others. Find someone in your life that needs a kind word or a helping hand.

Finally, disconnect from the media. Go to dinner with your family and leave the phone at home. Try reading a book at night instead of watching the evening news.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Where glib and glitz mingle Commentary by Don Knebel

The Tower of London is one of England’s most popular destinations. Well rehearsed “Beefeaters” explain its history with Travel ghoulish delight and the crown jewels dazzle visitors riding past them on a people mover. But the glib and the glitz mingle with the ghastly.

At the heart of the 18-acre Tower complex is a castle erected in 1078 by William the Conqueror after he crossed the English Channel and defeated Anglo-Saxon King Harold. A series of buildings and towers were added later in two concentric circles around the original castle. Although used for many purposes, the Tower of London has served as a prison almost from the beginning and its stone towers have been the scenes of crimes and intrigue.

The so-called “Bloody Tower” memorializes two young princes murdered there by their uncle, the future King Richard III. The Wakefield Tower, where King Henry VI was murdered as he prayed, displays a collection of instruments of torture, used to extract “confessions” from those whose religious beliefs didn’t match those of the monarch. The most frequently used instrument was the Duke of Exeter’s Daughter, named after the Constable of the Tower who introduced it.

Ropes wound around oppositely rotating drums stretched the victim on a rack, inducing pain so severe that a confession was almost inevitable.

Although known for its beheadings, the Tower of London itself was the scene of only a few executions. Condemned prisoners not deserving the privacy of a Tower execution were killed on

nearby Tower Hill, their newly severed heads held high for the cheering crowds. As told by the Beefeaters, Tower executioners were notoriously inept, one taking 11 whacks of his axe before finishing off the Countess of Salisbury. Another, a butcher by trade, completed his job with a knife. Anne Boleyn was afforded the courtesy of a French swordsman, who dispatched her on the Tower green with one stroke.

A trip to London isn’t complete without a visit to the Tower. But expect not only to be entertained, but to be reminded of how cruel human beings can be to each other, often in the name of religion.

Don’t make this harder than it is Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “People at my office often talk about their ‘brother-in-laws’ or ‘sister-in-laws,’ and it drives me grammar guy crazy. Please write an article clearing up this nonsense. Hopefully some of them will see it.”

Answer: Sounds like this one has been wearing on you for a while. I’ll see what I can do.

Words like “brother-in-law,” “U-boat,” “not-forprofit,” etc., are known as hyphenated compound nouns. They can get a bit tricky at times; since there are often several words you have to deal with when deciding where to place an “s” to make their possessive form.

The rule in this case is to place the “s” after the primary noun: “brothers-in-law,” “U-boats,” “not-for-profits.” Why “brothers-in-law” and not “brother-in-laws?” Well, think: Are you saying you have multiple brothers (by law), or that you have a brother due to multiple laws? I’m guessing the former. The same logic holds for “sisters-in-law,” “parents-in-law,” etc.

Now, if we want to make a hyphenated compound noun possessive, things are very simple:

Add an apostrophe and an “s.” “My brother-inlaw’s boat is ready for the summer.” “The not-forprofit’s fundraiser should be a blast.” We don’t always get simple, standard rules in English, so enjoy this one and don’t make it any harder than it needs to be.

Just to be thorough: On the off-chance that you ever wanted to make a hyphenated compound noun plural and possessive, you just follow both rules. If you have multiple brothers-in-law, and they all have boats, you’re talking about your brothers-in-law’s boats. Don’t let yourself get intimidated just because you’re forming a “plural, possessive, hyphenated compound noun.” Just add “s” to the primary noun, and an apostrophe and “s” to the end of the word. Simple as that.

One final note: Even though you didn’t ask about it, the plural of “attorney general” is “attorneys general.” I think we can all agree it sounds weird … but there it is. Hopefully you found that edifying.

Fighting parvo is worth the ongoing battle

Commentary by Lisa Beals

Lucky Lab Rescue is known for saving literally hundreds of dogs’ lives every year. They vet them and assess their temperament before placing them canine in foster homes and eventually their loving , forever homes. Sometimes, the “vetting” involves a lot more than expected in regard to money and heartfelt concern if the dogs come down with the dreaded parvovirus.

Recently, the group rescued five puppies from two different places. All five came down with parvo. Ten month-old Bosco didn’t make it. Right now, Reba, Chesney, Presley and McGraw are fighting for their lives.

So what is parvo? Parvo is a highly contagious virus that can be prevented by early immunization in young puppies. In the absence of vaccinations, it may strike puppies from 6 to 20 weeks old. Certain breeds, including Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Labs and German Shepherds tend to be more susceptible to parvovirus. It is shed in feces and may be transmitted by the dog’s paws, fur, bedding, crates or via our hands or shoes. After exposure to the virus, there may be a four- to five-day incubation period before the dog begins to show symptoms.

The virus is more commonly manifested in the dog’s intestinal system where it interferes with the ability to absorb nutrients and secondarily in the cardiac system where sudden death can occur. The dog may develop lethargy followed by severe vomiting and diarrhea. He may posture in a tucked position due to abdominal discomfort.

The profuse diarrhea often is bloody with mucus and quickly leads to dehydration. The moist tissues of the mouth and eyes may appear red and the heart rate may be accelerated.

If you suspect parvo in your dog, veterinary management is essential for the survival of the dog. Parvovirus is diagnosed by physical exam, blood work to measure the white blood cell count, urinalysis, abdominal radiographs and assessment of the lymph nodes. Dehydration must be aggressively treated with IV fluids to correct electrolyte imbalances and antibiotics may help prevent septicemia and bacterial complications that could lead to death. Severe cases may require plasma transfusions to combat the virus.

While the cure rate of parvo is estimated at 70 percent, the sequelae of the disease is often touch and go with positive responses to treatment one day often being followed by complications the next day.

Lisa Beals is a co-owner of Camp Bow Wow in Carmel. You can contact her at 580-0446

The parvo virus is not only very contagious, but very hardy. Dogs with parvo must be quarantined until they are given a clean bill of health from the veterinarian. Because their immune systems have been weakened by the virus, they will need to be closely monitored for secondary infections.

Parvovirus may survive in the environment for months, so living quarters and objects exposed to the virus must be cleaned with a 1:32 bleach solution that is allowed to sit for 20 minutes before rinsing. The fight against parvo is worth it. If you would like to help Lucky Lab save Reba and her country siblings, please donate at www.luckylabrescue.com.

Picking the right pro is critical Commentary by Vicky Earley You know you want a home that looks pulled together. You would like to know that you will get the most out of the indoors amount budgeted for the project. You recognize that you do your profession well but interior design was not your calling.

This is the time to call in the services of an interior designer or decorator.

If you have not used a designer before, it can be intimidating. The fear and mystery can be enough to halt the project before the first fabric is found.

The best projects are the result of communication and trust. A close bond develops between a good designer and the client during the design process so, first and foremost, the individual who is about to step into your home has to mesh with you, your family and your lifestyle.

Finding that perfect decorating partner is the biggest challenge you will encounter in the process. The best interior designers are one part artist, one part business professional, one part circus master, one part visionary and one part translator. Don’t expect to Google “talented decorators” and have your perfect design professional appear.

Ask around. Ask someone who has a home that you admire. Keep in mind that some hold their designer’s name close to the vest… just like the best babysitters. Check references. Double

check what others have said on Angie’s List.

When you interview the potential designer, look for someone who asks questions and listens to the answers. A good decorator should constantly probe to solicit a vision for the final product. If pertinent questions are not being posed, it is a sign that you are not the focus.

Look for someone who does not operate as a “Yes” person. That is a sales person, not a design professional. You are hiring them to facilitate your vision without the pitfalls of going it alone.

Before committing to a designer, ask yourself the following: Do I feel comfortable with this person? Remember, you will be spending time with this person so a level of rapport is essential.

Is he or she clear about the costs involved?

There should be a clear understanding of how fees will be charged in advance. Surprises are not a good thing in this situation.

Unless the designer selected is totally devoid of talent, the benefits will outweigh the cost. Just the avoidance of one mistake can be worth the entire consultation fee. Parts of a project that have to be redone due to error are costly. The elimination of sleepless nights due to uncertainty is worth every cent of consultation billing.

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

Ci

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

NO FUSS FACE We all have those days where we plan on sticking close to home, running a few errands, maybe hitting the gym in the late afternoon, or meeting a couple girlfriends on the Monon with strollers in tow.

While a ponytail is a very acceptable (and even chic) hairstyle for these activities, we cringe at the idea of being out in public (or out of our bathroom for that matter) without paying some sort of attention to our face. Follow these steps for a low maintenance but fresh look: 1. Dot concealer on blemishes and under eye circles with your finger. Concealer will help even out your skin tone without needing to apply a layer of foundation.

2. Dab a tiny bit of liquid or gel blush to your cheeks and use your finger to blend it in for a fresh glow.

3. Apply a stroke or two of mascara, or simply use an eyelash curler to accentuate and widen your eyes

BRIDE TO BE As you may guess, autumn is one of the most popular seasons for weddings. The cool temperatures and changing leaves make for a beautiful, scenic setting for the big day. Salon 01 has beauty tips for you that will make your upcoming autumn wedding day one to remember for a lifetime.

• For a fall wedding, keep your lips a rich shade, such as a dark plum or burgundy.

• Bring some sparkle to your eyes with gold eyeliner.

• Remember to use a cream bronzer underneath your cheekbone to illuminate your face.

• Remember to freshen up your hair color the week before the big day so they are rich and bright.

Call Salon 01 today to speak with our Bridal Director to schedule hair and makeup appointments for you and your bridal party. We will work hard to make sure your day and your look are flawless.

Space planning is the key to a successful basement remodel

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing basement: Located in the Saddlecreek addition on the west side of Carmel, this home had suited its owners since they built it.

However, as the children blueprint for grew, it was time to reimprovement assess how they utilized their space. “Now that the kids are older, we do not have as many toys,” stated one of the homeowners. “We created a family project of purging the old stuff to create an area that we could all use.”

Design phase: Creating a multi-use space was the goal of this remodel. “I have a homebased sewing business,” said one of the homeowners. “I needed space to work and stage. Also, my husband needs room for his new hobbies.

And, we have always wanted an exercise area that was separate from the kids’ area.” The lower level was previously unfinished, but was still being used as a work, exercise and storage space for the family. Transforming the original basement into a welcoming place for the whole family meant designating areas for their many interests.

Space planning for family activities: The final design created activity vignettes within the original footprint of the basement. The two spaces around the central staircase were long and narrow with two alcoves. End walls of the main room became hobby and work areas with plenty

Before, the family’s basement area was used to store toys and other items a young family needs.

of space left in between for large gatherings.

The media room and musical instrument practice area were tucked into the alcoves. The exercise room was set into the area on the backside of the staircase, where a large gathering space was not needed. The existing plumbing dictated the placement of the full bathroom. Fortunately, it was located on a back wall that supported the intended work flow. Natural light from the two daylight windows was supplemented with a comprehensive lighting plan.

Speciality spaces: Cabinetry was designed for the intended use of each area. The sewing space needed long tables and lower and upper cabinets. The fish aquarium area needed a sturdy countertop and floor space. In the bathroom, a decorative utility sink provides the space needed to clean the fish tank while blending with the overall décor.

Final results: “The remodel has changed how

After, purging items the family no longer needed created room for more specialized areas for mom and dad, such as a sewing space and a special place for an aquarium. (Submitted photo)

we live,” stated one of the homeowners. “My two daughters go down there and hang out together.

We have family movie night and do lots of crafts, too. It’s nice having a practice area without having the rest of the house involved. We can just shut the door and no one hears anything.”
