inaugural “Reason to Dance, Reason for Hope” ballroom dance competition modeled after the popular “Dancing

with the Stars” television show.The inaugural fundraising event will take place

at the Indiana Roof Ballroom from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., March 13, and will include a silent auction followed by a three course dinner, celebrity ballroom dance com-petition and open dancing. Plans call for the event to be simulcast to Riley inpatients who will have gotten a chance to vote for their favorite celebrity.

Reason to Dance organizers, Global Health Sys-tems, Inc. founder and CEO, Damon Greeley and his wife Tamra kicked off the event with a Meet and Greet at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Carmel, also a sponsor of the event which will serve as the training ground for the celebrity dancers that include Kristin Kane, Morning Anchor, Fox59; Michael Henrich, Morn-ing Reporter and fill-in anchor, Fox59; Cristina Goebel, Indianapolis Colts Cheerleader and Zionsville native; John Schneider, CSX railroad police department; Alicia Schulhof, Senior Vice President of Continuous Process Improvement for Indiana University Health; Heather Stopczynski, On-air Personality at 97.1 Han-kFM and Dr. Tom Ferarra.

Fred Astaire Dance Studio is also offering a free dance lesson for every $25 contribution to the Riley Hospital Foundation made at their studio on 116th Street. “We’re hoping to give away a lot of lessons so we can raise a lot of money for Riley. It should be a lot of fun,” Rutherford said.

BIRD FOOD • FEEDERS • GARDEN ACCENTS • UNIQUE GIFTS

By Adam Aasen • [email protected]

Jerry Points, longtime gallery owner and re-cently named arts advisor to the city, announced that due to health concerns he will

close his Eye on Art Gallery and resign from his advisor role.

He said, for the past four months, he has been living with shingles. It’s affected his concentration and the pain is severe, he said. At the same time, his wife has been diagnosed with Par-kinson’s and underwent brain surgery. He said he’s missed a lot of time in his gallery and there are too many unknowns at this time.

“It’s been tough, very painful,” he said. “We’re going to be each other’s caretakers for a while. I’ll miss the work, but people tell me, ‘You can’t just push it like I’ve been pushing.’ I’ve taken basically everything off my plate. It’s unfortunate. I love the gallery and what I’m doing here.”

Points was named arts advisor in July, taking over a role that was previously filled in a differ-ent incarnation by gallery owner Evan Lurie.

Points made one of the priorities of his job to make the arts accessible to people in Carmel. He started the First Annual Carmel on Canvas Paint Out, which was held in July and featured art-ists painting landscapes all throughout the city where people could watch.

Eye on Art owner to close gallery

ArT

He also focused his attention on encouraging galleries to offer affordable pieces so patrons can easily own a piece of Carmel’s arts scene. As a result, he thought up the idea to make De-

cember the month for 100 Pieces under $100 through the Carmel Arts & Design District.

City Councilor Ron Carter, an avid supporter of the arts, said it’s a shame to see Points resign.

“It’s really unfortunate,” he said. “He did a great job for the city and I really hope he gets better so he can come

back in some role.”Points will close his gallery at the end of De-

cember. For more than four years, Points was the owner of Eye on Art Gallery, located at 150 W. Main St. in downtown Carmel. He’s also president of the Gallery Association and he played a key role in attracting the Hoosier Salon to relocate from Broad Ripple to Carmel.

Points said he hopes the next person to serve as arts advisor to the city will continue to focus on driving foot traffic in the Arts District.

“People always say we need more galleries,” he said. “What we really need is the diversity in galleries – not necessarily numbers, but diversity – where when you come down for a walk you want to check out all of the galleries in the area and really make an evening of it.”

Organizers of Carmel’s Donut 5K hope that some sweet treats at each water break will get

people moving for their favor-ite frosted fuel.

“The extra little sugar will give you that extra boost from one mile to the next,” said Eric Patton, owner of Jack’s Donuts.

The event is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Dec. 20 at the Monon Community Center. Registration costs $30 and complete details can be found at www.carmelroadracinggroup.com.

Todd Oliver, president of Carmel Road Racing, said it’s the eighth year that his group has put on this holiday 5K event, but he had the idea to team up with Jack’s Donuts to make it fun and increase attendance. So far, it’s worked. He has about 500 people registered which puts them on pace for about a thousand runners, a record for this course.

The Donut 5K is part of a trend in the running world where a “gimmick,” so to speak, makes a race fun for a broader audience. Sometimes it’s a goofy sweater or costume. There are color runs and zombie runs in many areas. Oliver said these kind of runs can be fun, which is why they are giving out Santa hats and beards to the first hundred runners.

“I’ve heard about 10 times in the last month that people say, ‘I’m not a runner, but I did a beer run or a chocolate run and I kind of had fun, so

Donut 5K will be one sweet race

DIvErSION

now I’m coming out and doing more runs,’” he said. “So, even though they are gimmicky, if they help get people active, then that’s cool. Because you can be silly and have a good time and still break a sweat.”

At the same time, the Donut 5K won’t be un-appealing to seasoned runners. It’s still a state championship race, which means they pay a cash purse to the winner, Oliver said.

Proceeds will benefit the Humane Society for Hamilton County, German Shepherd Rescue and Indianapolis Animal Care & Control.

Oliver is also looking at planning for this spring’s fifth annual Carmel Marathon.

Bound for nationals




One of Carmel’s own has been named artist of the month for December at the National Art

Museum of Sport.The institution, at 850 West Michi-

gan St. in Indianapolis, chose Donna Carr for her painting she created after traveling to Sochi for the Winter Olympics in Russia.

Carr was the subject of a cover story in Current in Carmel in June and since then she’s finished several new pieces.

The museum describes her thusly: “Donna Carr enjoys painting athletes. She finds their passion and intensity inspiring . . . doing what most of us cannot. They are fearless and driven. Their muscles and form are what makes these paintings exciting. The drama of their move-ments presents an image that, even when seen in a two-dimensional painting, conveys high en-ergy and beauty that bring us into their world.”

Carr told Current she was excited about the recent honor and ever since the article ran there’s been an increase in attention for her paintings. She’s excited to have everyone see her paintings, which take hours of meticulous work.

Her work will be on display at the museum this month. Her other works are often displayed at ArtSplash Gallery in Carmel. Call 931-8600 for hours and information.

Shepherd keeps paying forwardBy Sophie Pappas • [email protected]

Partner and CMO of Shepherd Insurance Quinn Shepherd knows he is blessed to work in his

family business. “There’s something special

going on here,” Quinn said of the company he runs along with his dad David Shepherd, the CEO.

“Special” doesn’t begin to explain the growth and success Shepherd Insurance has experi-enced since its founding in 1977. What began as a door-to-door operation with Quinn’s grandfather has trickled down to Quinn, a man whose fun-loving personality and willingness to give leaves a mark on every employee.

All year, the company organizes what it calls “Operation Shepherding,” which was started by Quinn in 2011 as a way to support the community.

“The goal of Operation Shepherding is twofold: to support our community, and to reach out by service in our community. It’s more than about just giving money or stuff,” stated creative direc-tor Christine Wiggins. “It’s about strengthening ties with our community by actively participating in programs and activities that improve the qual-ity of life.”

At Christmas time, the company has a Giving Tree for Prevail of Hamilton County, which is a nonprofit that helps victims of crime and abuse. The Giving Tree is a way for employees to pur-chase gifts or adopt families to provide for during the holidays.

“In addition, each of our offices in Columbus,

Evansville, Greenfield, Lafayette, Seymour and Louisville chooses a nonprofit in their community to help during Christmas,” Wiggins stated.

Wiggins said that combined the company’s offices give to more than 200 organizations every year.

Also, to show their employees just how impor-tant it is to give back to the community, Wiggins stated the company “also offers employees a day off each year to volunteer at an organization of their choice.”

“It's more than just insurance,” David said. “That happens to be our business, but we try to be good community people.”

For the second time, the Independent Insur-ance Agents of Indiana, or Big “I,” have selected Shepherd Insurance as the 2014 Agency of the Year.

The Agency of the Year award is presented to an agency that exemplifies leadership and inno-vation in the insurance industry. Agencies that earn this coveted award are characterized by strong growth, innovative marketing strategies, implementation of a perpetual plan, creative utilization of automation and top-level customer service.

“We are very humbled by our selection as the 2014 Agency of the Year,” said David Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Insurance. “This award is a re-flection of the respect that the entire Shepherd team has worked so hard to earn.”

Big “I” Vice President Steve Duff said, “Shep-herd Insurance is truly a leader and innovator in the independent insurance agency system and in the communities in which it has offices across Indiana.”

Shepherd also earned the Agency of the Year Award from IIAI in 2003.

The caucus for Indiana House District 24 con-vened on Dec. 9 at the Zionsville Presbyterian

Church in response to the resig-nation of Representative Steve Braun. The results

were close with Susana Suarez and Donna Schaibley tied in the second bal-lot with 22 votes of the 51 committee-men in attendance. After a third ballot Donna Schaibley won the majority vote with 27 votes followed by Susana Su-arez with a close 23 votes.

“I am honored that the community picked me,” Schaibley said. “I do promise that I will be repre-sentative of all three communities of the entire district. That’s something that I’ve spoken to. I do believe that our school funding issue is the No. 1 issue in our district. And I’m just very grateful. I’m really just gratified.”

While Suarez was a close candidate in the elec-tion, she was overall pleased with the results and

was happy to run for the position.“I think that regardless this is just an amazing

field of candidates and it was a very, very tough choice for the precinct community people, and it was a well fought battle and it came back to

two people,” Suarez said. “Everybody wins. We respected each other and we were very supportive and this is the way that it should be done. I’m just a better person for having gone through this experience.”

House District 24 is comprised of por-tions of Boone County and Carmel and Westfield in Hamilton County.

INDY’STOP DENTIST IN2011, 2012 & 2013!

Commentary by Jeff Worrell

She was speechless. Literally. So stunned when her name was called as the winner of the

super-secret honor, a planned and pre-written acceptance speech were the last things

she was going to pull out of her pocket. As the humble, selfless community servant, a simple thank you would have to do. And so Rhonda Kile acknowledged the crowd with a slight wave of her hand and clutching the award, returned to her seat clearly moved by what had just happened.

She had just experienced her engraved name publicly revealed on the Carmel Chamber of Com-merce’s Most Valuable Volunteer Award. The MV2 Award recognizes a Chamber member who dem-onstrates outstanding volunteer contributions while still holding a full time job.

“I was so surprised by the award I was given, I could not think of a thing to say. It really caught me off guard,” she said after the ceremony.

She went on to express her feelings to me, once the shock began to subside. “Not only is volunteering the right thing to do, but more than that, giving has always been in my nature,” she said. “It is in my DNA you might say. My grand-parents were immigrants; my parents are first generation Americans who lived through the Great Depression. No matter how little they had they were always willing to share with others.

With fundraising projects, I take that idea one step further asking other people to join me in sharing.”

Rhonda Kile does a lot of asking and people respond generously to her requests. Rhonda’s sheer volume of volunteer projects is not only impressive, but most people comment on her or-ganization skills and spirited dedication to each project. She spreads her talent around.

For those in need, Rhonda demonstrates her success at organizing multiple food drives result-ing in as much as 6,000 pounds of food in one year. For pets, she assists various sheltie rescue groups.

Construction along Main Street near U.S. 31 has been put on hold due to a combination of

weather and property access issues.

The project, primarily funded by $4.2 million in state funds, aimed to redevelop Main Street near the U.S. 32 interchange with additional lanes, enhanced roundabouts and new sidewalks. Construction was to start in the fall and early winter, but has been pushed back until after the cold weather season. Some preliminary work will continue.

“From now until the spring time, you will be able to see utility relocations taking place,” City Engineer Jeremy Kashman stated. “All of the clearing of right of way is now complete. In the spring we will once again close Main Street between Pennsylvania Street and Old Meridian to upgrade the roadway from two lanes to four lanes with a center median. We will also be in-

stalling new sanitary sewers and water mains which is one of the reasons we will need to close the roadway and so that we can complete the work in an expedited manner.”

The $4.4 million project is needed to meet the traffic demand anticipated as a result of the new interchange at Main and U.S. 31, which is now open. Roundabouts at Illinois and Old Meridian will also be expanded to two lanes.

This Main Street interchange will serve as the primary entry point for the Carmel Arts & Design District and improvements will be concentrated to the west and east of U.S. 31. The state is re-sponsible for work on the portion of Main Street that extends over U.S. 31, including the bridge and ramps.

The project is mostly paid for by the Indiana Department of Transportation as part of a pro-gram that allows Indiana to trade $1 in federal funds for 75 cents in state funds. Existing Engi-neering Dept. funds and other funding sources will pay for the remaining portion.

Sailors, soldiers, students and the community came together to remember and learn more

about the 1941 attack on Hawaii during the annual Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day program on

Dec. 6 at Noblesville City Hall.The program, which was conducted by Navy

Club Hamilton County Ship No. 29, featured World War II Pacific Theatre historian Dr. John Shively. During his presentation, Shively talked about the 24 hours after the attack and other events in lesser-known areas of the Pacific Rim.

“The ultimate outcome of the attack on Pearl Harbor is Japan loses the war,” Shively said.

Three locations Shively focused on were Mid-way and Wake islands and Shanghai, China.

“The object of the Japan attack, which was the Eastern Island airfield (of Midway), was never hit,” he said.

Shively said the 4th Marines Battalion was ordered to evacuate Shanghai and relocate to the Philippines following the attack..

“All Marines taken to the Philippines sur-rendered at Corregidor Island,” he said, adding that the river boats SS Harrison and USS Wake remained to guard the coast. “The skeleton crew of the USS Wake was overwhelmed by the Japa-nese. It was the only ship in the U.S. Navy that strikes her colors.”

On Dec. 7 1941, The SS Harrison was ordered

back to Chinwangtao, North China from Manila to evacuate 144 Marines at the U.S. Embassy in Peking. Shively said the ship tried to navigate out of the Yangtse River below Shanghai when it was trapped by a Japanese cruiser. The captain ordered the ship run aground at full speed and tore its bottom plates out.

“The Marines onboard are among the first POWs taken in the war,” said Shively. “The Japa-nese repaired the Harrison and put a flag on it. They carried POWs in prison camps back to Japan as slave labor.

Shively said the Harrison was torpedoed and sunk by the American submarine USS Pampanito in the South China Sea on Sept. 12, 1944.

“Four hundred British POWs died on board,” he said. “The submarine turned around and picked up 70 of them.”

Hamilton County Sheriff Deputy Kevin Crask has made 96 arrests this year for drivers operat-

ing while intoxicated. For his efforts in keeping the streets of the county

safe and getting drunken drivers behind bars, Crask was recently honored by the local Mothers Against Drunk Drivers chapter.

“He is just outstanding at spotting people who are possibly under the influence,” said Pam Kelshaw, local MADD chapter president.

Kelshaw, who lost a daughter and a nephew in separate crashes caused by impaired drivers, expressed her gratitude for all law enforcement officers who work to keep drunk and impaired drivers off the streets but was especially im-pressed by Crask’s commitment after riding with him for a shift earlier this year.

“My family and MADD Indiana would like to recognize the outstanding work of Deputy Crask and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for all their efforts on getting impaired drivers off the road,” Kelshaw said.

Crask said that one reason he pursues im-paired drivers is so that other families do not have to experience the tragic loss that Kelshaw has had to undergo.

Sheriff Bowen said Crask came to the HCSO two years ago from the Cicero Police Dept. and he is a late shift officer.

“He is very aggressive in enforcement of traf-fic and drinking and driving offenses,” Bowen said. “We applaud his efforts in diligently getting out and apprehending drinking and driving of-fenders in Hamilton County and protecting our citizens and keeping our roadways safe.”

As of Dec. 3, Hamilton County Sheriff deputies have nearly doubled the number of drunken driv-ing arrests from 2013. Kelshaw said there have been 286 arrests to date this year compared to 151 last year.

it takes to make it at that level. You don’t have to be born with talent as long as you are willing to work hard.”

Oak Trace third-grader Dominic Parisi said having a former Pacers player “helping us getting better at basketball was fun. I’ve never met a real Pacers player before.”

Fellow Oak Trace third-grader Nathan Luprich said Gill offered some good tips.

“He taught us to dribble to the side a lot, not in front so they don’t steal the ball,” he said.

Gill has been running All Out Training for about two years, teaching basketball fundamentals for boys and girls. Gill said this was a natural fit since throughout his career he participated in camps and NBA Cares.

On Sundays, Gill holds training sessions at The Jungle, 16707 Southpark Dr., in Westfield. He also has individual and group sessions at the SportZ-one in Indianapolis.

“I love to see the personalities,” Gill said. “After they’ve struggled and then had some success, the look on their faces is priceless. I get a kick out of that for sure.”

Former Indiana Pacers guard Eddie Gill forged his 12-year professional basketball career with

hard work.Now he wants to share

his message of “Hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard” with youngsters.

“I thoroughly enjoy working with kids,” Gill said. “I feel like it is a form of giving back to the community as well. Indianapolis has been great for me and my family. I’ve been here since 2004. It’s obviously a hotbed for basketball. There are a lot of times that kids are coming up and they’re not necessarily learning the correct way. I want to take time to give back and teach the game the right way.”

Gill, 36, played in 187 games for six teams in seven seasons in the NBA, including the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons with the Pacers. He also played in Europe and Australia and the NBA De-velopment League.

Gill, a Carmel resident, spent the first week of December as a teaching volunteer in Peggy Grim-mer’s third- and fourth-grade physical education classes at Oak Trace Elementary in Westfield.

“He’s been teaching them about hard work and having a positive attitude and if you have those two things you can achieve anything,” Grimmer said. “He’s just a great role model for these kids. We think it’s awesome that he’s

How two Carmel institutions are redefining higher education

Beyondthe classroomCOvEr STOrY

and AU is helping him realize that dream faster. “This is allowing me to get the experience I need as opposed to the core classes of college,” he said. “It’s a more hands-on approach, which is more beneficial for me.”

A mandatory apprenticeship for all is a stint on the Schoettmer Prime Pork farm in Tipton. Brumbarger calls it a grit test that teaches humility, where the students participate in all areas of a hog farm’s production, including feeding, cleaning stalls, clipping tails, even castrations.

“It’s a unique hallmark of the program,” Brumbarger said. “No one’s ever done this, incorporated it into a career path. It stands out on a resume. You’re never going to overlook that as an em-ployer and it creates this fraternity (with the apprentices). To think it’s a hog farm, but they all love it coming out, they would all go back. Go figure.”

The capstone to the AU program is a two-hour oral argument by the apprentices to convince their mentors that they have earned their diploma. Graduates also receive a $5,000 “launch bonus,” but Brumbarger doesn’t expect any to be unemployed. “The chances of them being snapped up very quickly by companies in the network are very high,” he said.

By Mark Robinson • [email protected]

Traditional education takes young adults on one of two paths after high school graduation: directly into the workforce or off to

college for four (or more) years of instruction.But it isn’t a traditional world anymore,

which is why some new Carmel institutions are creating a fast-track route to employment in high-demand careers.

Eleven Fifty Coding AcademyEleven Fifty launched this fall and is the col-

laborative brainchild of four men, including Scott Jones, recognized for developing voice mail and owner of Cha Cha. The academy’s name comes from the West 116th Street address of Jones’ estate, where classes are conducted in a por-tion of the residence including a theater room and library. The other co-founders are Nick Birch, Terrence Kunstek and Matt McIntyre.

“We all came together,” said McIntyre, the director of marketing, “with the commonality that tech talent is hard to find in Indianapolis and there’s nothing fostering new tech talent in Indianapolis. We’re the second biggest (technol-ogy) sales force hub next to San Francisco and yet there’s no way for people to get educated, retrained, skilled up, on these languages in our own backyard.”

To fill that need, Eleven Fifty offers classes for the computer programming novice or career changer up to the professional developer looking to sharpen a particular skill. Prices range from $299 for the weekend introductory class to $2,499 for the most expensive seven-day class.

And when Eleven Fifty says immersive, it means it. Think a 12-hour day with students working in computer code from start to finish. Cellphone reception is blocked to limit interruptions, meals are included and free time is available to relax, sharpen creative skills or try out the winding mahogany slide that takes visitors from the estate’s main level to a lower level where much of the instruction takes place.

“When people walk in on Saturday morning for their seven-day immersive class,” explained Jones, “they open their laptops, they’re (working) in the code, they’re coding up to 12 hours a day, every day for seven days. They’re writing their own apps and putting them in the storer, and by the end of the seven days they know what they’re doing.”

Apprentice UniversityRon Brumbarger is president and CEO of Bit-

wise Solutions, a digital marketing, online strate-gy, search engine strategy, web design and de-velopment company at 11495 N. Pennsylvania St. A major obstacle in Bitwise’s continued success was finding and keeping talented employees.

“It’s hard to find people that are good, that have the work ethic that I want and have the passion to get the job done,” Brumbarger said. “I got tired of hiring new (col-

lege) grads that didn’t work out and decided to grow my own.”With that, Brumbarger created Apprentice University in spring

2013. Students, predominantly high school graduates, take on a 30-month program that includes seven online courses paired with rotating four-month apprenticeships at area companies in fields ranging from business, technology, applied social media and entre-preneurship. The apprenticeships are paid, which covers the cost of tuition and then some, Brumbarger says students earn an aver-age of 25 percent more than their tuition.

Brumbarger has secured arrangements to place apprentices with area entities such as Advantage Health Solutions, Hunt Big Sales, Bluebridge Digital, Stratosphere Quality, Developertown, Rainmakers, his own Bitwise Solutions and even Current Publish-ing, which produces Current in Carmel.

Ginny Brueggen, an 18-year-old apprentice from Chesterfield, ap-preciates the real-world aspect of the program. “I’d rather have someone teaching me that’s out there doing it now,” she said, “than to have someone that’s just sitting in a class-room all day teaching it.”

Ben Bracher, a 21-year-old from Carmel, said he’s known since middle school that he wants to be a computer programmer

must perceive it the same way. Ordinarily, I do not. In fact, I find the room almost too warm – certainly too much for a lap throw. How could we both, healthy and long-married adults, be confronted with the same data and yet arrive at such vastly different outcomes? Is one of us wrong? Is there an empirical device that could unequivocally settle our dispute? If the thermo-stat read 70 degrees is this hot or cold?

Ferguson is now, and will forever be, marred by the tragedy that occurred there. Perhaps we can agree on this assessment. But who is to blame and who is the victim? What does our own bias bring us to believe? Are we witnessing protests, riots or terrorists activity? Can we ever hope to avoid our biased bias? Can anyone?

Commentary by Terry Anker

We, each of us humans, look at the world through our own eyes. Naturally, how could we do it any other way? But as such, all stimuli is received and perceived from our own unique per-spective. We assume that what we see is what is actually there. Our senses collect data and deliver it to our brains. Which in turn, assesses the information and produces a concept of the matter. Based upon experience, comparison and extrapolation, we move forward confident that our perception is reality. Moreover we as-sume that if given similar data, other reasonable people would come to similar, if not identical, outcomes.

But in practice, we all bring our own unique mechanical and cognitive ability to the assess-ment. In short, we do not agree.

In 2010, American Express founded Small Business Saturday. The company says it did so to help businesses with their most press-ing need: getting more customers. The day happens every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and encourages people to shop at the small businesses that help write the story of America. Nov. 29th’s event brought mixed reviews from shopkeepers locally. As we close in on Christmas, and there remains shopping to be done, we asked ourselves, “Why only Small Business Saturday? Why not Small Business Every Day?” Despite whatever rhetoric you may hear coming from 1600 Penn-sylvania Ave., small businesses comprise the backbone of enterprise in this great nation. For every national baked-goods chain, there are thousands of mom-and-pop storefronts waiting to serve you, almost all with home-cooked, made-from-scratch servings. And for every major muffler outlet, there are scores of corner garages everywhere ready, willing and able to fix what ails your vehicle. And for every Fashion Earring and Doodad Shop Inter-national, there exist many one-off gift shops with unique offerings designed, crafted and packaged – GASP! – in the United States. So, it should be Small Business Every Day. Consider that as make your list and check it twice. Go ahead and make the pilgrimage to the mall or the big-box retailer, but add to your itinerary one or more of the locally owned businesses, where you actually can find gifts not available in Walla Walla, Wash., and where you truly can make a difference for those who receive as much as those who sell. And when you hand over your cash for the items you’ve chosen, give yourself credit for helping the economy at a very local-local level. The merchants will thank you sincerely, and you’ll have done a very good deed. And you don’t need to wait until the Saturday after next Thanksgiving to do it. Now, if we could only find someone to wrap these gifts we’ve bought.

Cluttered chaosCommentary by Danielle Wilson

Zebra-stripe curtains, canary-yellow walls and a purple shag rug? Sounds cool, but what else? How about an anole terrarium, an oak trophy case and a multi-colored hydra lamp? Okay, I’m listening. And for the finishing touch-es, let’s throw in a nail polish stained used-to-be-white carpet, plaster the place with posters of various “Dance Moms” stars and adorable kittens, and since its December, hang twinkle lights and fake garland from corner to corner. Sold! The perfect bedroom for a 10-year-old girl.

It’s also the absolute worst nightmare for a working mom who can’t tolerate clutter, crazy or catastrophic levels of cuteness. And yet every night I’m forced to enter said bedroom to tuck my youngest in to bed. Psychedelic sights, sounds and vaguely-recognizable smells assault my every sense as I cautiously make my way to her, careful not to step on stray pins, discarded Skittles, lip gloss and an everlasting assortment of cowgirl boots, tap shoes and plastic flip-flops.

Frankly it’s a miracle I haven’t seriously injured myself or come down with a nasty bug. And don’t even get me started about the number of clothes she’s purchased/collected/hoarded. If she’s not spending her chore money at Ulta Beauty Supply, you can be sure she’s buying yet another graphic tee at Delia’s. Plus she has all her big sister’s hand-me-downs and several self-made ensembles. Did I mention there’s a sewing machine and mannequin squeezed into the space between the bathroom door and dresser? Both are hard to see as they are usually covered with bolts of lime-green polka dot fleece and burgundy corduroy. My daughter goes through a “fashion designer” phase about every six months!

Compounding the insanity, the room is only 10x10. I may be poking fun at my little drama queen, but I can’t argue against her extraor-dinary gift for maximizing space. Supposedly a desk and chair reside in there too, though I haven’t seen either in about three months. Supposedly she also houses vast collections of Moshi monster toys, make-up and hair acces-sories amidst the décor, but again, I couldn’t say exactly where.

No matter. My only goals are to ensure she doesn’t set the place on fire and that no dairy products are left to congeal. I’m actually quite proud of my tolerance level concerning her room, which of course is based entirely on the requirement that her door remain closed. And when I must enter, I just make sure to kill the lights first to minimize any adverse physiologi-cal reactions on my part. This is, after all, not my place of refuge, but that of a 10-year-old girl.

Peace out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

We needed a new toaster, but Mary Ellen was afraid I’d purchase one that looked like that Scion

car. So we went shopping together and soon had a shiny new addition to our kitchen counter.

I opened the box and was about to discard the directions, confident that even I could master this simple device, knowing the basic premise of toasting hasn’t changed much over the years. As I discovered, the instructions are apparently for folks who are first-time buyers. To them, this is the greatest invention since sliced bread. In fact, this was the next invention after sliced bread.

The first page of the booklet is a diagram that points out some of the nifty features of the ap-pliance. Numbered one to five, there are arrows pointing at buttons labeled:

1. Toast Lever2. Bagel3. Frozen4. Cancel5. Toast ShadeIf you didn’t have this diagram, you would

have to look on the actual buttons—which clearly say: Lever, Bagel, Frozen, Cancel and Toast Shade. The toast shade button is a bit misleading since all the shades are basically tan. I think the manufacturer should make that clear.

Mary Ellen and I tried the toaster. We put in two slices and slowly pushed the lever down. So

Toast of the townfar, so good. We had set the shade for medium, so when the toaster started sending up smoke signals, we quickly pushed the cancel button…but nothing happened.

One part of the instructions makes it very clear that first you load the toast, then you press down and lock the lever in place. This load and lock method by Black & Decker is a little different from the lock and load method popularized by Smith & Wesson.

Black & Decker wants you to know that the cord on your appliance is intentionally short because if it is too long, you could become en-tangled in it and trip. So, if you are running an extension cord from your garage through the living room and into the kitchen to connect the toaster, well, you’ve been warned.

Black & Decker also makes it clear that “the use of accessory attachments” is not recom-mended. Good advice for people who were going to hook up the toaster to their iPad or printer. They also warn against using the toaster for anything other than its intended purpose. So don’t think of heating your upstairs guestroom with 10 of these, sadly.

“I was thrilled when they asked me back,” Warkel said during a recent walk through the exhibit.

Warkel was formerly the curator of American Art for the IMA for 26 years. Then, this year she was asked to return as guest curator for the “Southwest” exhibit.

Although the exhibit, which will go on tour nationally after its run in Indianapolis, focuses on many of O’Keeffe’s famous pieces that were crafted in New Mexico, Warkel said that if anyone only comes to see O’Keeffe’s works they would be “missing the whole point.”

“[O’Keeffe] loved the Southwest,” Warkel said. “The east was becoming industrialized and art-ists were looking for something unique to paint.”

The time period that Warkel speaks of is the md-1900s when a flood of New York City artists, well established in their fields, broke free from the sky rises and landed in New Mexico, many

who helped to start the Taos Society of Artists. O’Keeffe herself once said: “Once I saw New

Mexico, that was mine.” Not all artists stayed in New Mexico, but for O’Keeffe she loved it enough to eventually build two homes there. By the time her husband died in the 1940s, New Mexico was her permanent residence.

While in the Southwest, O’Keeffe focused mainly on painting her well-known flowers, how-ever she did dabble in architectural pieces and striking images of bones. Other artists, whose works are also on display at the IMA, painted Hispanic and Native American images.

The exhibit is available for public viewing until Feb. 15.

Warkel, who is a member of Carmel’s art coun-cil and is an artistic jewelry maker herself, said she hopes Carmel residents come out to see the exhibit.

“We are an art city,” she said of Carmel. “And the IMA has so much to offer, not far from Carmel.”

Make a toast at the Prairie

CHrISTMAS

By Dawn Pearson [email protected]

In need of a Hot Toddy due to holi-day stress?

If so grab some friends and party back in time at

Connor Prairie during the annual adults-only “Holiday Cheers” festive event from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Dec. 18.

Inside, guests can tour the Ginger-bread Village, featuring works of arts by professionals and amateurs. Out-side, guests will experience Indiana as it was back in 1836 as residents of Prairietown get ready for the holidays.

“This part of the program allows guests to step back in time and wit-ness what is was like during the holidays in 1836,” Duane Brodt, director of public relations for Conner Prairie, stated.

Guests will enjoy an evening of hors d’ouevres, wine and local craft beer before heading out for a candle-light stroll through 1836 Prairietown to experience how various holidays were celebrated in the past.

“We have added many adult-orient-ed programming recently, primarily events that focus on unique, farm-to-

table dining experiences offered by local gourmet food artisans, craft beer and wine events and other opportuni-ties for adults to get together and so-cialize at Conner Prairie,” Brodt stated. “The ‘Holiday Cheers’ crowd is a young professionals group while others draw adults of all ages, some of whom have never been to Conner Prairie and oth-ers who haven’t been here in a while since raising their children.”

Vendors for the evening include Matt the Millers, Brown County Winery, Bear Wallow Distillery, Indiana Whisky Co., Scarlet Lane, Union Brewing Co., Sun King Brewery and Smoking Goose Meatery.

“’Holiday Cheers’ is a chance for young professionals and other adults to enjoy great food, drinks and social-izing before taking in the scenes of Conner Prairie during the holidays,” Brodt stated.

“Holiday Cheers” is supported by the Conner Prairie Horizon Council, the organization’s young professionals group.

Advance sale tickets are $35 a per-son and can be purchased at conner-prairie.org. Tickets will also be avail-able at the door but space is limited. For more information, call 776-6000.

Stuffed Leg of Lamb with Balsamic-Fig-Basil Sauce

Ingredients: 1/2 cup coarsely chopped prunes. 1/4 cup currants. 2 tablespoons creme de cassis liqueur. 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary. 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme. 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander. 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. 1 (4 pound) boneless leg of lamb, rolled and tied. 1/2 cup chopped roasted and salted almonds. 2 table-spoons chopped fresh mint. 3 cloves garlic, cut into thirds. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar. 5 tablespoons butter. 3 tablespoons honey. 1/3 cup thinly sliced, stemmed Calimyrna figs. 5 teaspoons chopped fresh basil. 6 leaves mint. 6 leaves basil.Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the chopped prunes and currants with the creme de cassis in a small bowl, and set aside. In another small bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, coriander, salt, and pepper; set aside. Untie and unroll the lamb, lay it out flat on the work surface. Trim off excess fat, and cut any thick parts open so that it is evenly thick and some-what rectangular in shape. Sprinkle half of the herb mixture over the lamb. Mix the almonds and chopped mint into the prune mixture; spread evenly over the lamb. Roll up starting at one of the short sides, and tie with kitchen twine in 1-inch intervals. Cut 9 slits about 1-inch deep into the top of the lamb, and insert a slice of garlic in each. Rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with the remain-ing herb mixture. Place lamb seam-side up on a rack set in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven to desired doneness. For medium-rare, a thermometer inserted into the center will read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove lamb from the oven and cover with foil. Allow to rest for 15 min-utes while proceeding with the recipe. While the lamb is resting, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Boil until the vinegar has reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Once reduced, stir in the butter, honey, and sliced figs. Stir until the butter has melted, then re-move from the heat, stir in the chopped basil and set aside. To serve, remove the twine from the lamb and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange on a warm serving platter and drizzle with the fig sauce, garnish with mint and basil leaves.

Maple-glazed veggies

A recipe from “The Nourished Kitchen” for root vegetables is a great side dish for any holiday meal. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

This recipe comes from the wonderful cook-book “The Nourished Kitchen.” It is for maple-glazed root vegetables with orange and thyme. This vegetable dish is a beautiful addition to your holiday table or for any time of the year. These two root vegetables, carrots and parsnips, make a great pairing! The rustic look of this dish, its bright colors and the aromatic earthy and sweet flavors from the maple and orange makes it deli-cious to eat.

Note: Fresh thyme is more pungent and aro-matic than the dry variety. Don’t use more than what the recipe asks for; the strong flavor of this herb can easily overwhelm.

Maple-glazed veggiesIngredients: • 2 tablespoons butter• 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into

matchsticks• 1 pound parsnips, peeled and sliced into

matchsticks• 2 tablespoons maple

syrup• 1/2 cup orange juice• 2 tablespoons

chopped fresh thyme,

• finely ground unre-fined sea salt

Directions: Melt the butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the carrots and parsnips into the

hot butter, decrease the heat to medium and fry for 10 to 12 minutes, stir-

ring from time to time, until the edges of the vegetables begin to caramelize. Stir in the maple syrup and orange juice and continue cooking until liquid is evaporated,

about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the thyme over the

vegetables, and season with salt. Stir once more, then serve.

Commentary by Tonya Burton

On Dec. 4, the Assistance League of Indianapo-lis hosted a beautiful style show and luncheon at the Ritz Charles in Carmel. The nearly sold-out event was attended by First Lady Karen Pence, as well as other local luminaries. The luncheon was the third fundraiser this year to benefit ALI programs, which include ALI Bears, a program that provides cuddly, child-safe teddy bears dressed in t-shirts to children facing difficult emotional crises. ALI Friends also provides activi-ties at Joy’s House, an adult nonprofit day care center. Additionally, the organization provides Assault Provider kits to victims of assault. Per-haps one of the most labor intensive, but equally rewarding programs is Operation School Bell, which provides clothing to underserved school children.

The Secret Ingredient store of Indianapolis and Kits and Kaboodle Classic Toys of Carmel donated 10 percent of the day’s proceeds to ALI programs. Carol Valentine, Chairman of Grants, hosted major grant donors who have generously supported ALI programs throughout the years.

Commentary by Tammy Wittmann, O.D.

Is your child achieving in everything except school?

If this sounds like your child, he or she may be struggling with a vision problem that is not detected by reading a vision chart. It impacts learn-

ing and is known as convergence insufficiency. CI affects vision, reading and comprehension.

When someone has CI, he or she is not able to easily focus on near tasks for very long. There is an attempt to focus on the near task (for example, reading, math homework, timed tests), but quickly find they cannot concentrate and/or physically focus on that task. Does this sound like your child?

Most people with CI don’t know they have it, and CI doesn’t go away with age. It is not de-tected in a standard eye exam or eye screening by reading a standard eye chart. Most kids, in fact, have 20/20 vision.

If you ask them if they can see, they say they can. But the most common symptoms of CI are:

• Difficulty concentrating.• Difficulty reading.

Vision problem has wide impact• Sleepiness.• Tired eyes.• Overlapping words.• Headaches. Most will have perhaps only a few of these

symptoms because the child has learned to adapt. And please be forewarned: ADHD is the most common misdiagnosis. Too, many children with CI have lower self-esteem, and they tend to believe headaches are just part of life.

There is a cure for CI. The first step is having your child evaluated by an eye doctor who tests for the condition. Not all do. It is not part of a standard eye examination. Secondly, once the diagnosis is made, there are corrective therapies available.

If you believe your child may be suffering from CI, call your vision specialist and ask to have him or her evaluated for CI. The specialist will be able to recommend proper therapy if needed.

One person might look at an old end table and see a piece of junk.

But Angie Bochan sees something she can transform into a treasured piece of furniture.

That’s why she’s opening Jun-qtique, a new store located at 931 N. Range Line Rd. behind the Dairy Queen.

Bochan is looking to find unique chairs, dress-ers, tables, armoires and more to repurpose them into a fun “shabby chic” look. She scours through yard sales, auctions, websites and sec-ond-hand stores to find quality pieces that she can repair, paint and turn into something new.

“You name it, if it’s good, we’ll get it,” she said.And the furniture might look like expensive

antiques, but Bochan said the prices will be rea-sonable. She said the most anything would ever cost is $500.

“I don’t like to pay more than a hundred dollars for a piece unless it’s really unique,” she said. “And I love painting the furniture, so I don’t mind getting people a really good deal.”

It all started when Bochan was working on her home. She discovered the new pallet wood wall in her bedroom didn’t match the furniture anymore. Instead of buying a whole new bed-room set, she decided to take it into her own hands and paint her existing pieces. Everyone loved her creations and urged her to do more.

Bochan won’t have a huge space to start with. She’s planning to store extra reclaimed pieces at a nearby storage unit on the other side of Range Line. But the store itself should look really cool, she said. Bochan found some antique Victorian wood and an antique Victorian stair-

case. She wants the space itself to be a repre-sentation of the kind of unique work she can do for her customers.

Bochan does have a partner, Ashley Shane, who makes furniture out of reclaimed pallet wood.

An opening is expected this month.

For the last nine years, Fat Atom has rented its office space in Carmel. But that’s about to

change at the end of January.“We have been renting since

September of 2005,” said CEO and owner, Todd Muffley. “It’s time to own a piece of Carmel and pay ourselves.”

The marketing group will move into a 3,500 square foot building at 141 N. Range Line Rd. The site will also have parking and a separate building where Fat Atom’s new business will be launch-ing. Muffley plans to release details at a later date.

Fat Atom had originally planned a move to The Mezz, on the Monon Trail.

“But, as with any new construction, the time-lines kept getting delayed and hence our move-in getting pushed out,” Muffley said. “But all things happen for a reason and our new house is twice as big as the space we would have rented there … so it's all good.”

Muffley said the move to the new location will

also mean the company can remain in the Arts and Design District.

“The biggest advantage to being in the Arts and Design District is quality of life for our stakehold-ers,” he said. “The quantity of restaurants, the Monon Trail and a smaller community of affluent people make it a great place to have a business.”

Fat Atom has a staff of 18, add-ing three people to its team in recent months.

“So we are busting at the seams now, but yes, (the move) does allow for future growth,” Muffley said.

The business is among several in the state owned by a veteran. Muffley served in the U.S. Army from 1988-1992.

“I decided to get this Federal Status more to promote that I am a veteran and proud of my country,” he said. “I am not big on promoting it, as I didn't serve in the military to use it later on in life, but it has opened some doors on state contracts that we would have not been consid-ered for otherwise.”

Shoppers haven’t frequented J.Benzal Mens-wear in Carmel City Center as much as what Mamadou “Ben” Diallo expected since opening a

year ago, but the owner/designer of the upscale clothing shop re-mains optimistic.

“We just want to let more people know that there is more shopping in the back of the City Center than just the front,” said Diallo, whose shop at 711 Veteran’s Way follows the successful downtown Indianapolis location he started on Mass Ave. in 2008. “Hopefully we’ll have more people come into the center because this is a beautiful place. It’s definitely a nice place to have a high-end clothing store. I’m glad to be here and I think we’ll do well in the future.”

Diallo takes pride in going above and beyond in the customer service his private J.Benzal label offers. From the personal attention and design using top-grade fabric to free custom alterations that make the perfect fit, J.Benzal is a cut above.

“Once people come in,” Diallo said, “they really like the history of the brand, they like the prod-uct and they also like the pricing of the product. It’s definitely high in quality but well-priced. It’s modern and will also last you longer. The suits are well made, made in Italy, well-constructed, which is different from the average suit you see on the market here. If you come here to get your

The Rusted Window Decor and Gifts prides itself on featuring a wide variety of unique items.

“We have a rustic approach on things. We have unique finds,” said Annie Gonzalez, marketing and retail manager at 99 East Carmel Dr.,

Suite 140. “We have different things we don’t see everywhere else. We’re trying to get more local products in so we have Just Pop In popcorn, Best Chocolate in Town chocolates and we just started carrying Hayes and Taylor apparel. Their (Hayes and Taylor) products are awesome and super comfy.”

Gonzalez said the store, which opened in mid-October, has the room, with the high ceilings, to properly showcase its merchandise.

“With this more open area we can set up dis-plays and (owner) Stacy (Molander) is really good at interior design,” Gonzalez said. “She’s always moving around products or showing it in differ-ent ways that maybe you didn’t think you could set it up like that.”

Molander has 19-plus years experience in floral and interior design. Molander’s Design Group features flowers and event rentals.

“We have staging decor that you would rent for your event,” Molander said.

Gonzalez said the Design Group offers “cen-terpieces from corporate events to weddings to bouquets of flowers for someone special.”

suit, we will make sure it fits you the way it is supposed to fit.”

J.Benzal is offering special deals through the holidays. For more information, call 805-1879 or visit jbenzal.com.

Molander said Rusted Window recently added a temporary store banner, which has helped increase store traffic.

“It’s made a world of difference,” Molander said.

Molander also offers design consultation for customers’ homes.

The store’s website is www.rustedwindow.com. The store’s hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The store is closed on Sunday.

A new faith-based school for children in grades first through eighth will be opening at the Carmel Seventh-day Adventist Church, at 146th

Street and 14535 Carey Rd. next year.

Following the one-room school format of many Adventist schools, child enrollment will total somewhere between 12 and 18 students and feature a curriculum that com-bines Bible-based academics with a nurturing environment and healthy lifestyle.

“We discovered the actual test results of one-room schools are higher than other schools,” said J. Marvin Whitney, superintendent of educa-tion for the Indiana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. “Part of that is because first graders will also hear the same lessons that sixth and seventh graders are doing. And you also have the tradeoff where older students can assist younger students and if you can help explain what you’ve learned, you can help explain it better than if you learned it on your own or by yourself.”

According to a press release from the Indiana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Pastor Alex Rodriguez from the Carmel church and Car-mel church school board chair and parent, Kelly Taitano presented their school proposal to the Board of Education stating that church members desired a private school and that they have

J. Marvin Whitney, Superintendent of Education, and President Van Hurst congratulate Pastor Alex Rodriguez and Kelly Taitano on the Board approv-al to start a new Adventist school in Carmel.

Church’s school to open next year

EDUCATION

received pledges already for registration and creation of the new school.

Adventist education is the second-largest de-nominational system in the world with the Car-mel Adventist school joining 16 Adventist schools around the state including three pre-school and day cares, 12 K-8 church schools and Indiana Academy, a grade nine to 12 boarding school in Cicero.

The school will be a coed tuition-based private Christian school that is open to all faiths. Staff will be hired next year.

Parents interested in registering for school next fall may call 853-9529 or e-mail [email protected].

Commentary by Don Knebel

Cape Town, the second largest city in South Africa, is picturesquely nestled between Table

Bay and Table Mountain. Especially on days when a cloud layer known locally as the “table cloth” hovers

above its iconic flat-topped mountain, Cape Town is a contender for the most naturally beautiful city in the world. It is also a wonderfully sophisti-cated city; the equal of any in Europe.

The intellectual center of Cape Town is the Company’s Garden, originally used by the Dutch East India Company in the 1650s to grow food for resupplying ships on their way back from India after rounding the Cape of Good Hope. Today, the area is filled with historic statues, immaculately maintained gardens and plenty of over-fed squir-rels. Nearby are the Houses of the South African Parliament, the National Library, a planetarium and world-class museums.

The Slave Lodge Museum, in a building that once housed slaves adjacent to the Company’s Garden, recounts a dark side of the garden’s his-tory. Some of the Dutch ships picking up supplies dropped off Hindu slaves sold by their Muslim captors to Christian slave traders.

Cape Town: Beauty and BrainsThe Iziko South African Museum is located at

the south end of the Company’s Garden. Founded in 1825, it has become one of the world’s finest museums of natural history, housing more than 1.5 million items, including a 70-feet long skeleton of a blue whale hung from the ceiling. The collec-tion of fossils and skeletons illustrating biological evolution is particularly extensive and insightful. The sign accompanying a very rare skeleton of a lobed-finned fish closely related to the likely pro-genitor of all four-legged animals acknowledges that “it is difficult to believe that our very distant ancestors were fish similar to the coelacanths.” The sign next to the skeleton of Homo sapiens at the end of the evolutionary trail seems especially apt: “The only primate that presents a biological threat to the Earth, and to itself.”

Cape Town, with a metropolitan population of almost four million, led the “New York Times” 2014 list of top places to visit. If Cape Town is not on your list of cities to visit, it should be.

INSIDE & OUT

Commentary by David Decker

Shower designs have undergone major changes over the past couple of years. Standard

construction plans have fallen by the wayside as homeowners look for ways to make showers

both practical and luxurious. If you are looking for a way to update your showering space, a zero-threshold shower can add a contemporary and sleek touch to your bathroom design.

A threshold refers to the ledge or sill that gen-erally encases the shower. The threshold is in-tended to keep water spills inside the shower, so that flooding doesn’t occur. Zero-threshold show-ers were rarely constructed in homes, because they were considered a convenience for people with limited mobility. The lack of a curb makes the shower more accessible and easy to use. Today, aging-in-place designs have gained popularity, and open spaces are being seen as more modern. Without a ledge or threshold, the shower has a look of continuous tile. Both of these consumer preference shifts have set the stage for zero-threshold showers to grow in popularity.

Adding a zero-threshold shower requires some preplanning, especially when it comes to the shower pan or base so that no flooding oc-curs. The length and depth of the shower are also important factors that will control the water flow. If the depth of the shower is not sufficient,

your shower could spill. It will also be difficult for homeowners in wheelchairs to access, which limits the accessibility of the shower. Five-by-five-feet is the smallest shower area recom-mended for wheelchair use.

In terms of the flooring, you will likely want to tile the entire bathroom to create that seamless design that has become synonymous with mod-ern design. Shower doors are optional depending on the size of the shower. Shower areas must slope to the drain. This can require significant construction on the floor, but it will definitely keep your bathroom from developing a standing water problem.

The walls of a zero-threshold shower will need to be made from tile or another water-proof mate-rial. Anything else could be damaged from the mois-ture. As for the door, showers with zero-threshold sit directly on the floor. This means that the door may need to be specially ordered or designed. Keep that in mind as you budget out your project.

A zero-threshold shower can improve the look of your bathroom, in addition to improving acces-sibility that’s integral to aging in place.
