COMMUNITY Governmentby Dan Domsic • [email protected]

After two town council meetings, one just before Christmas, the Fishers Town Council approved a salary ordinance, post-ing the minimum and maximum biweekly salaries for town employees.

With the salary ordinance approved, the town manager and director of community development could make up to $5,384.62 biweekly, or $140,000.12 annually.

Realistically, Town Manager Scott Fadness is set to make $125,000 in 2013 – a $27,350, or 28-percent, increase from 2012, according to information provided by Maura Leon-Barber, Town of Fishers director of public relations. In 2011, the salary was capped at $93,000.

The vote for the salary caps came at a spe-cial meeting of the council on Dec. 21, held after the council failed to vote on the ordi-nance at its scheduled meeting on Dec. 17.

By law, the town had to pass the ordi-nance by the end of the year. First, second and third readings were to be held at the Dec. 17 meeting. To hold all three readings and vote on the ordinance, the council had to unanimously vote to suspend the rules. The rules were not suspended, so the sec-ond and third readings had to be resched-uled for the later meeting.

Town Councilor Renee Cox requested the actual salaries for the town manager, director of community development and clerk-treasurer at the Monday meeting, but the figures were not available.

At the Friday morning meeting, the council, with president Scott Faultless and councilor Stuart Easley absent, sus-pended the rules and held second and third readings.

As part of the second reading, public comment was invited.

Doug Allman, the chair of the City Yes political action committee, asked the council what the financial impact of raises would be on the town.

Allman was not given a specific figure. Fadness referred him to the town’s Web site for specific numbers, but town councilor Pete Peterson said questions like Allman’s

should have been asked when the budget was being discussed, which happened ear-lier in the fall.

Town councilor Michael Colby said rais-es impacted the previous posted maximum salaries and positions were being added as a

result of the ordinance. Fishers shrank when the reces-

sion hit in 2008 and 2009, but it saved money and is at a point it now can give raises, town councilor David George said.

The salary ordinance passed four to one, with Cox being the only dissenting vote. After the vote, Cox explained her stance.

“I guess I find it appalling, and I have felt threatened during this whole process,” Cox said. “When we came off the election in November and were being told, ‘I might leave because my job may not be here in three years because we’re going to have an elected mayor and department heads may leave as well.’ So, the feeling of you’ve got to incentivize me to stay and incentivize my department heads to stay I think is less be-coming of leaders in this community.”

She then began listing figures she re-searched on her own – stating Fadness’ salaries in the past three years, including 2013. She said she received some of the information from Indianapolis.

Peterson interrupted her to get legal counsel’s view on discussing job perfor-mance in a public forum.

Counsel jumped back and forth with the councilors, saying that discussing job performance in the forum could open the town to litigation.

Colby, who was presiding over the coun-cil, said some of Cox’s initial statements about an individual making a threat were opinion.

He said he would “referee” the discussion if legal problems were arising.

“We sat upstairs in executive session as a group and discussed the performances of the employee and employees and we agreed upon a salary,” Colby said. “ … You (Cox) included. Now, when we’ve come out of a meeting, you’ve taken a different position. If you changed your mind, you changed your mind.”

She listed Fadness’ salaries for 2011,

2012 and 2013, with the only inconsis-tency from earlier stated figures being she stated Fadness’ pay was $112,000 in 2012.

Peterson listed salary ranges for other council-manager bodies across the United States, pointing out that the town man-ager's pay falls into some of the averages out there.

She said she was wondering if employees pushing snow were receiving the same level of pay raise.

“Transparency and trust – people and residents deserve that and nothing less,” Cox said.

Cox said the council talked about mak-ing part-time employees full-time and cost of living increases but did not discuss the new pay grades that Fadness, director of community development Tom Dickey and clerk-treasurer Gaye Cordell all now belong in.

She said the documents were not provid-ed until 4 p.m. on Dec. 17 – three hours before the meeting at which the salary ordi-nance was originally to be voted on.

Offers that were made elsewhere to town employees and the elimination of positions were used as leverage, she said.

She later specified the town manager was the employee in question.

“I don’t think it’s government’s job to secure and ensure someone’s position when they threaten you like that,” Cox said. “That’s not becoming of a manager of this community as far as I’m concerned, and the residents deserve better than that.”

When asked about the raise being an incentive to remain with the town even though the town manager position may be eliminated when the town transitions to a city as well as a general comment on salary increases, Fadness said in an email that the questions “are more directed to the council.”

COMMUNITY Around townFishers Arts Council

talks 2013 plansby Dan Domsic • [email protected]

The Fishers Arts Council, the group behind such art projects in Fishers as I Am. Piano Play Me, and Art in Town Hall, is already planning for this year’s initiatives

Fishers Arts Council President Jocelyn Vare said both of those projects were slated to re-turn to Fishers in the New Year.

“As a Fishers resident for 15 years, what’s important to me is that Fishers is this amaz-ing place to live, and work, raise a family, retire,” Vare said, “And I know that arts and culture has to be part of that fabric of the community.”

She said the scope of Art in Town Hall would be expanded while working with other organizations.

One event the council is looking at is a display of the annual Fish-ers Freedom Festival T-shirt design contest finalists.

Last year was the first year for the Nickel Plate Music Fest. Vare said the event was being considered for the fall but was not sure if it’ll return.

One event that is slated to come back later this year is Art in the Park.

The Fishers Arts Council will work with Nickel Plate Arts in 2013, as well.

Vare said the main focus for 2013 was to focus on partnerships, reaching out into the community to better connections with various groups.

Senior academies, HSE 21 major projects for school districts

by Dan Domsic • [email protected]

In 2013, the Hamilton Southeastern School District will embark upon multiple initiatives that have the potential to change education’s landscape

for Fishers students. The initiatives: senior academies and HSE 21. Supt. Dr. Brian Smith said a referendum that

would decide the fate of funding for two senior academies – one at Fishers High School and one at Hamilton Southeastern High School – was sched-uled for May 7.

The new expansions, plus maintenance mainly for HSE, have a price tag of $95 million.

HSE School District CFO Mike Reuter said if the voters approved the academies, it would mean

an increase in the tax rate. The increase will fluctuate as bonds pay off and roll off, he said. At its maximum, the rate increase will be 13.5 cents, at its minimum 3.6 cents.

“The question (on the referendum) will be a bit confusing because it will read purely as a tax increase, but there were will also be some bonds rolling off at that time that will offset much of that,” he said.

Reuter said additional maintenance amounts to three-quarters of a cent on the rate, and that the district would have to take on those costs no mat-ter what. The maintenance costs are already included in the rate change.

According to Smith, building the academies is cheaper than building a new school, and if a new school was built, it would require students to be pulled out of their current schools.

“… Nobody likes to be redistricted,” Smith said. The second project rolling forward in 2013 is the HSE 21 initiative. HSE 21 has multiple facets, including

project-based learning, common core curricu-lum and getting a computer to every student at HSE.

It will take multiple years to get computers to students, according to Smith and Reuter, but it will start with professional development for teachers.

The district’s goal is to replace textbooks with digital content created by teachers, Smith said.

By adopting the common core, the biggest change will be in the way the schools teach, as the focus shifts to critical thinking skills, real world applications and project-based learning, Smith said.

Commentary by heather kestian

Six ear infections and 70 sleepless nights later, we got a referral to an ear, nose, and throat doc-tor. We happily went to the ENT and learned everything we needed to learn about how the ear works. After the lesson, it seemed ap-propriate to sing “the ear bone’s connected to the nose bone, the nose bone’s connected to the throat bone.”

Myringotomy, or the surgery to place little tubes of heaven in my child’s ears, was the new plan. I spoke to several friends about this plan, and they all proclaimed that this would clear up all of the problems.

Yeah, right. This has to be an overstate-ment of everyone’s perception. Nothing has a 100-percent rate of fixing problems, yet every single person had the same thing to say — this is a life-changing surgery.

The day of the surgery came, and true to form, my little one’s ears had yet another infec-tion. The doctor reported that the surgery went well and the tubes were placed. We went home and waited. We put our little one in his bed and 30 minutes passed.

He did not wake up.

What is going on here? Another hour passed and he continued to

sleep.In fact, he slept through the night, waking

only once to eat.Shut the front door! My child is sleeping,

soundly? I have spent some

time reflecting on the past 80 days (not that I am counting the num-ber of sleepless nights on a calendar) and the meaning behind this surgery. While I call these ear tubes our

early Christmas miracle, the larger lesson has not been lost. We are truly blessed to have had the opportunity for this small medical device to make big changes in our son’s life. He can sleep, is comfortable, and will not have hearing loss or structural damage to his ears because of multiple ear infections.

For the record, everyone was right about myr-ingotomy. These tiny tubes are game changers!

Today, One Direction tops the charts as one of America’s favorite boy bands. More than 60 years ago, there were the Four Freshmen.

Famous for hits including “Graduation Day,” “It’s a Blue World,” and “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66,” the Grammy-nominated jazz quar-tet began in 1948 by four college freshmen who were attending Butler University’s Jordan Conservatory of Music: Brothers Don and Ross Barbour of Columbus, Ind., in addition to their cousin, lead singer Bob Flanigan of Greencastle and their friend Hal Kratzsch of Warsaw. Origi-nally a barbershop quartet calling themselves the Toppers, the band quickly became inspired by jazz vocal, changing their name again to the Freshmen Four before settling on the Four Freshmen.

“I developed an interest (in the band) in high school,” Fishers resident Neil Lantz, said, who has recently been elected president of the vol-unteer board of directors of the Four Freshmen Society. “I graduated when they were at the top of the charts.”

Discovered in 1950 in Dayton, Ohio, at the Esquire Lounge by jazz band leader Stan Ken-ton, the Four Freshmen signed up with Capitol Records. “That’s when they stopped being stu-dents,” Lantz said. Their climb to success even led to appearing in the 1951 movie starring Jane Powell called “Rich, Young and Pretty.” The band sung “How Do You Like Your Eggs in the Morning?” In 1952, each member of the group received $41 each for their first royalty check.

The original four members of the group toured together for six years; the band transi-tioned as old members left and new members joined. Flanigan, however, continued with the band until the early ‘90s. The band, in its 22nd group, has had a total of just 23 members over the past 64 years. “That,” Lantz said, “tells you

about its success and staying power.”Since its inception, the Four Freshmen have

released nearly 50 albums/CDs, have been nominated for six Grammys and achieved top recognition by Down Beat and Jazz Times mag-azines. Current members of the musical group, performing together for 11 years now, are Brian Eichenberger, Curtis Calderon, Vince Johnson and Bob Ferriera. The quartet also has recently released a CD titled “Love Songs,” which fea-tures a 20-piece string orchestra from the Czech Republic.

In October 1987, the Four Freshmen Society began as a way to honor and remember the group. A friend told Lantz and his wife, Sara Lou, about the 3,000-member international fan club in 2000. Since then, the Lantz’s have at-tended annual conventions all around the coun-try that draws fans from as far away as England, Japan and Scotland. “We’ve met some really neat people,” Sara Lou said.

As president of the board of directors, Lantz responds to inquiries, helps to improve the orga-nization, consults for conventions and is a state representative to assist the band during concerts held in Indiana. “It’s a fun hobby for us,” Lantz said. “It meets our musical preferences and brings back memories.”

Next year will mark the 65th anniversary of the musical group. The Four Freshmen Society will celebrate during its annual convention Sept. 5-7 at the Grand Wayne Convention in Ft. Wayne. Coincidentally, the convention center is built on the exact site of the original 113 Club, where the Four Freshmen had their first profes-sional engagement in September 1948.

For more information on the musical group and/or society or to purchase merchandise, please go to www.4freshmen.com, www.four-freshmensociety.com or contact Neil Lantz at 849-7443 or [email protected].

Economic development a major focus in 2013 for

town staff, elected officialsby Dan Domsic • [email protected]

After the tumultuous process of voting on November’s referenda items, a slew of eco-nomic development announcements and road projects, the Town of Fishers is focusing on

three areas in 2013. Town Manager Scott Fad-

ness said the staff was focus-ing on efficient and effective delivery of services, increasing the sense of community and robust economic development programs.

“If we can accomplish those three things, and we continue to push those three things forward, ultimately, we’re going to achieve what we’re all after, which is a healthy and sustainable Fishers, so that’s really our focus,” Fadness said.

He said the staff, however, would not see any leadership-department head roles added in the coming year as the staff focused on those three areas.

Visible efforts are scheduled for 2013. In-cluded in those are renovations to the senior center at Holland Park, connecting trails around town and more programming in the downtown area, such as a possible new Friday night concert series, according to Fad-ness and director of communications Maura

Leon-Barber.

Focusing on economic development

Town councilor John Weingardt now has a year of experience under his belt, and he said defining downtown as

a place that served the community with input

from the community and taxpayers in mind was key.

After her first year on the council, Fishers Town Coun-cilor Renee Cox said she was most excited to bring groups, like Fishers Art Council, Con-ner Prairie and the Renais-sance Faire, into the fold, with the ultimate goal of keeping people in Fishers and spending their money.

“I think there’s a lot of synergy that could be utilized and harnessed, and we could bring some economic development using those enti-ties,” Cox said.

Fadness said economic development was the biggest goal for the staff, as it was a com-ponent that every department impacted. The performance of Fishers Fire Dept. and Fishers Police Dept. contribute, as fast responses to fires make a difference in insurance rates and a safe public sphere is attractive, according to Fadness.

“You will continue to see us be as aggressive as possible in economic development,” he said.

Last year saw announcements that included plans for a mixed-use development partially funded by the town in front of town hall, as well as a new interchange and exit for I-69 at 106th street.

“The tough thing about economic develop-ment is so much of the work is done behind the scenes until the final announcement,” Fadness said.

He said the staff, including himself and Tom Dickey, director of community develop-ment, could work on deals for months that ultimately won't come to fruition.

“We really feel like we’re putting together a toolbox that addresses the whole continuum of businesses that we’re trying to attract here,” Fadness said.

Fishers Town Councilor Pete Peterson also completed his first year serv-ing the town.

He said Launch Fishers could be huge for the town if it was executed the right way.

transitioning to a city There are aspects of the

transition to city government that residents will and won’t see.

“They should still see the same level of services that they’ve come to expect in this community during the next three years,” he said. “Are their bureaucratic steps along the way to get ourselves in a position to transition? Yes, but in the meantime, the 400 people that work here are focused on the day-to-day task of moving this community forward and will continue to do so until Dec. 31 of 2015.”

Cox said if the issue became a major focus, the town might lose steam.

She said she hoped that the transition wass not difficult and that town employees would stay on board and continue working on proj-ects like economic development.

Peterson said it was possible to antici-pate department head moves as time moves forward.

“I think the town will survive either way,” he said.

“I’ll improve on what I learned this year and continue to work with fellow councilors on projects going forward and make this the best community, because we are great,” Cox said.

Commentary by Terry Anker

Instinct naturally tells us that more is better. If we have one dollar, wouldn’t two be better? If we can help one person in need, shouldn’t we push the limit to extend to supporting two, or three, or more? Even as many of us are feeling the hangover brought on by holiday spending, eating and revelry, we can’t shake the instinct that there is never too much. We transition from newscasters telling us how to prepare boundless, calorie-laden repast to those same folks admon-ishing us to get in shape and “lose those holiday pounds.” The sale of extreme workout DVD’s will skyrocket in the coming weeks.

Certainly, we live a life of conflicting priori-ties. It is wonderful, even necessary, to gather with family and enjoy abundance by the hearth. And, it is wonderful, even necessary, to maintain an ideal weight to preserve and strengthen our bodies. But how do we find the balance between the two? Is moderation lost in a world of competitive priorities?

Imagine this example. The cost of college edu-

cation, especially if on-going or extended, often drives graduates out of the market place rather than into it. Because universities have not kept costs in line with inflation, are kids “overbuild-ing” their skills for the market? If the market demand for traditional degrees is far exceeded by the quantity of new grads, is the effect a reduc-tion in value (even as tuition and debt to the student and her family is ballooning)?

Certainly education is critically important, like housing, food and family. But isn’t creat-ing a standard of university degree production that attempts to build an absolute egalitarian distribution where everyone pursues the same kind of training simply trapping kids, their families and our government into a thought-less and costly spiral? If something is good, doesn’t it deserve to be unconstrained?

Extreme balance

By the time you read this, we all could be careening off the fiscal cliff, which would be a shame. The inability of President Barack Obama and U.S. Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio), the speaker of the House of Representatives, to get together on a smart resolution (unless it hap-pened after we went off to an early press run as a result of the holiday) is pathetic. While there had been some give and take from both sides, we view the Republican Party as the more dominant culprit here. A majority in the House guarantees absolutely nothing for the GOP and its Tea Party members. We view their actions as divisive and obstructionist. Our take: This hasn’t been about true negotiating – which should have been the case all along – but more about digging in heels and casting blame. It’s really quite sad that the two sides couldn’t come up with a solution that makes sense. In the end, the real and appropriate blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the American voters, for they are the ones who put these intractable, so-called leaders in the position to drive all of us over the edge. When will the voting public learn?

It is our position that 2012 will long be remembered as a significant year in the life of our community. We have seen the com-pletion or advancement of dozens of ac-tions, large and small, with impact unlikely to be fully realized until generations to come. US 31 construction began in earnest – after years of false-starts and empty prom-ises, we are seeing signs that one of our most important arteries will lurch forward in a more efficient and safe way. Grand Park is rising and forming a new heart where only corn once grew. While still much is to be done, the Palladium has matured from start-up to institution. The full effect of the opening of 146th Street has blazed a route across the land bringing retail and family to Carmel, Noblesville, Fish-ers and Westfield – soon to Zionsville.

And, Current has grown too. With a simple desire to make the communities we serve healthier, wealthier and wiser, this upstart hometown edition has managed to com-pete against giant corpora-tions from far-away places. Maybe it is be-cause while we don’t think it is perfect, we believe in our home-town. And, we are proud of the progress we’ve made. Cheers to a prosperous 2013!

Commentary by Danielle wilson

The flu has hit our house, and hit it hard. I left for work this morning with victims Two and Three moaning on the couch running tempera-tures of 102 and 103, feebly sipping juice boxes for comfort. Patient Zero has made a full recov-ery, but I'm certain our remaining daughter will succumb shortly, followed, inevitably, by my Husband, Doo. Will I get it too? After all, this is the first year in more than 10 that I did not get vaccinated. The only thing keeping the worry at bay is knowing that Doo has to deal with it all, not I!

Is that bad? Is it wrong that I took a tiny bit of joy literally washing my hands clean of the whole germy affair? Are the fates ready to pun-ish me with the flu-to-end-all-flus because I'd rather spend time at the office? Perhaps, but I like control. I need control. At work, everything is neat and orderly, and I'm only in charge of myself. This is so not the case at our house, especially when said house has become an infir-mary. Any mom can attest to this fact: Staying at home with healthy kids is tough, but throw in worrisome coughing, running noses, and multiple wake-up calls throughout the night, and the days become downright torturous. Now that Doo works from home, he's the one who

must deal with the hell of flu season, though he has a much better sense of humor about it than I ever did. His latest email reads <Captain's Log: 2012> The infected are everywhere! I have at-tempted to barricade myself in my living quarters but my need for sustenance continually drives me to the commissary where I am forced to engage the zombie hordes. Eyes red and puffy, pale chalky skin, and a blank stare that haunts my dreams. A subtle but continuous moan escaping their lips ‘daaaaaadddd…. DAAADDDD.’ There is no-where left to run … no one left to call … and they just keep coming!

So yes, while I felt sorry for my sick kiddos this morning, I was elated that I didn't have to stay and care for them. While I do experience a twinge of guilt when my youngest cries out, delirious with fever, "You weren't here to hug me!", I can honestly say I'm a better mom now that I'm able to part with some of my mother-hood duties. I'll gladly suffer the flu for that opportunity. Peace out.

Avoiding the flu

Commentary by Dan Domsic

In this week's issue, Current takes a look at the year ahead.

I had the chance to talk to a few organiza-tions about what they are planning for Fishers this year, and now more than ever, the commu-nity proves to have exciting news items for me to write about.

What I'm witnessing, and I hope you agree, is a time of change for the town. There seems to be no slowing down for Fishers.

Big-ticket items will quietly simmer on the back burner while different issues will push themselves to the fore.

The big-ticket items quietly simmering? Downtown redevelopment, for starters. The nature of the beast makes it difficult to get extra information. Multiple town councilors have told me they can talk about certain projects and about others they cannot. That's how business deals go, but make no mistake, that's one of the projects on the minds of your elected officials.

Then there's the issue of the transition from being a town to a city. I'm told there will be bureaucratic steps taken, but the next election is a long way off.

The changes that you'll see boil over and hap-pen sooner rather than later?

The Hamilton Southeastern School District putting the future of education in the hands of

voters this May with a referendum.Supt. Dr. Brian Smith says that the new se-

nior academies need to happen to accommodate a large crop of students working its way through the school system. They'll need the space by August 2015.

Of course, that will depend on the outcome of a referendum in May.

Funding for the academies lives and dies by the voting taxpayer. Will the people of Fishers accept an increase in taxes to make the acad-emies a possibility? Time will tell. Look for the school district to start a big information push in the coming months.

These academies could set a different tone for kids going through the system, as the structural updates to Fishers High School and Hamilton Southeastern High School are only mere com-ponents of the district's plans.

They're also tip-toeing into their HSE 21 ini-tiative that will eventually put an electronic de-vice into the hands of each student districtwide.

Big town means big news. Thank you for your continued readership, and I can't wait to get into the thick of these stories.

Big issues continue to press Fishers

Commentary by Dick wolfsie

Christmas morning was a big disappointment for me this year. Not one of my presents was bacon related. It’s hard to imagine how Mary El-len could have perused the current merchandise catalogs thick with bacony items and not realize that there should have been something under the tree that had at least a whiff of this Ameri-can food addiction.

Everyone loves bacon. When it’s frying in the pan, one can almost hear a splattering of applause coming from the heavens. We wrap a $50 filet in a strip of bacon to make it even better. Nor would we even know what a water chestnut is, if it weren’t for bacon. To get a taste of their newest gift ideas, I went to one manufacturer’s website.

Its premier item is bacon shaving cream. The company suggested ordering early to be sure cus-tomers have a festive pork-scented holiday, which, it maintains, is every man’s fantasy. The ad claims the shaving cream delivers “maximum bacon scent when you need it most.” When that is, I have no idea, but they had me worked into a lather just thinking about it. By the way, the company light-heartedly warns that while using this product, “you can be eaten by bears,” making some of the side effects of my Lipitor pale in comparison.

The jar of Bacon Rub sounded intriguing. I was going to order some to give my wife a back mas-

sage with it – you know, to put a little sizzle in the marriage. But apparently, it’s for ribs and roasts and not people, and now I’m starting to worry that I’m coming up with goofier ideas than they are.

How about a container of Bacon Infant For-mula? The product was launched last spring ac-companied by claims from the AAP (which I have a feeling is not the American Academy of Pediat-rics but the American Academy of Pigs) that the fat in pork is very important in the development of a newborn’s brain. Now, it turns out this particular promotion was nothing but an April Fool’s Day joke by the manufacturers. Yes, everyone is laugh-ing. Except the 450 people who fell for this and still wait by the mailbox every day.

Finally, my favorite (and this one is real): The Bacon-Scented Oxygen Inhaler. You’ve had a long day at the office, or suffer from COPD (Chronic Overt Pork Deficiency). Pick up your mini-inhaler, hold the device up to your snout and breathe in. “No fat, no calories, no carbs,” says the label. But there’s also a warning at-tached: “For recreational purposes only.” Isn’t that what they say about marijuana?

Commentary by Mike redmond

Well, I don’t know about you, but for my money 12-21-12 was about the lamest apoca-lypse I’ve ever seen. Phooey.

And so the Mayan Calendar myth goes onto the trash heap with all the other end of times Cassandragrams, and I’m not just talking about those emails you got before the election. How about that Harold Camping yahoo from a cou-ple of years back, the guy who twice predicted the exact date and time of the Rapture: Once when he said it was going to happen, and then again when he said it was REALLY going to happen after his first prediction flopped.

But that was the work of an apocalyptic nut-ball preacher in 2010. Nobody really took it seriously because there simply was no reason to. Unlike 2012, when the doomsday prediction was built on the solid foundations of an ancient race with a religion based on human sacrifice.

In other words: Sheesh. Really, people? They closed schools in Michigan for this?

The one thing you can say for the 12-21-12 nonsense is that it was a modestly amusing di-version from a stretch of pretty bleak news and nobody with a brain larger than a walnut took it seriously. This did not, however, stop a prolif-eration of theories as to what was supposed to happen on that fateful Friday because, as we all know, about a third of the people on this planet

are Walnut Brains.Here are my favorites:1. Earth was supposed to collide with an as-

teroid and Bruce Willis was not able to save us like he did in “Armageddon.”

2. A strange magnetic vibration was supposed to trigger the pineal glands of every human on earth – all 7 billion of us – to release a halluci-nogen, causing a worldwide psychedelic trip. Which would have been groovy, man.

3. Atlantis was supposed to rise. Presumably bringing Aquaman (the lamest superhero ever) with it.

4. The planet was supposed to be consumed by fires or floods or both, which would have been a neat trick.

5. Aliens were supposed to return to pick up those of us who had been named a select few, and no, you were not among them.

Or everything on the planet, from computers to can openers, would stop working, government and financial systems would collapse, and the Apocalypse would be upon us. In other words, the manure would strike the air conditioner.

None of which, you’ll recall, seemed to happen.

So much for the apocalypse

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre opens its 2013 season with the famous killer comedy, “Arsenic & OldLace.” The classic comedy kicks off the theatre’s year-long 40th Anniversary celebration, and is on stage now through Feb. 3.

Brewster sisters Martha andAbby are charming and innocent ladies who have taken it upon themselves to help lonely men. With a little arsenic, strychnine and just a pinch of cyanide in a glass of homemade elderberry wine, their guests are unburdened of their unhappy lives. Quietly the bodies of these socially and religiously “acceptable” room-ers begin to populate their cellar, with the unwitting assistance of their loony brother Teddy, who thinks he is Theodore Roosevelt digging locks for the Panama Canal.

Their charity continues smoothly until being discovered by their nephew, Mortimer. A theatre critic who is preparing to marry, Mortimer is shocked to learn the truth – and he only becomes more frantic when his maniacal uncle Jonathan makes a surprise visit!

Made popular by the 1941 Frank Capra film starring Cary Grant, “Arsenic & OldLace” proves things are not always what they seem.

David Schmittou, last seen at Beef & Boards as Cornelius Hackl in “Hello, Dolly!,” returns in the role of Mortimer. Karen Pappas, popular with Beef & Boards audiences from her portrayal of the hilarious Ma-vis in the Church Basement Ladies series, plays Abby Brewster, while newcomer Gerri Weagraff plays her sister, Martha. Several more Beef & Boards favorites round out the cast with Douglas E. Stark in the role of loony Teddy Brewster, Jeff Stockberger as the sinister Jonathan Brewster andEddie Curry as Jonathan’s sidekick, Dr. Einstein. Another newcomer, Lisa Ermel plays the role of Mortimer’s fiancée, Elaine Harper.

There are 37 performances of “Arsenic & OldLace” scheduled in the intimate setting provided by Beef & Boards. Tickets range from $37.50 to $62.50 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet, fruit and salad bar, and select drinks. Discounts are available for children and groups of 20 or more. Parking is free. For reservations, call the box office at 872- 9664. For a complete show schedule, visit www.beefandboards.com.

Commentary by Chris lloyd

Ambitious but not entirely successful, “Loop-er” is much more than your standard science fiction action flick.

Writer/director Rian Johnson (“Brick”) has crafted a film that’s less concerned with the mechanics of time travel than with the ramifi-cations it has on its characters. It also has one of the boldest casting movies of the year, with Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing the same man separated by 30 years in age.

Joe is an assassin, or “looper,” living in Kansas City circa 2044. The loopers kill victims sent back in time by a crime syndicate that runs ev-erything in the future. Their careers are prosper-ous but brief – retirement comes when the vic-tim who shows up to be assassinated is actually

themselves, three decades into the future.Unfortunately for young Joe, old Joe has ap-

parently been preparing carefully for this day and manages to escape. This sets off a nasty temporal snafu, as well as pitting the two of them against each other and the entire looper operation.

“Looper” is bursting with originality, but the movie seems to spin sidewise from itself and lose focus. Eventually it all gets tied up in a satisfy-ing way, even if the journey there isn’t always a smooth one.Movie: B

Women’s Health Alliance, a seven-physi-cian obstetrics and gynecology practice, has moved to St.Vincent Carmel Hospital. The physicians are part of the St.Vincent Car-mel Hospital’s medical staff and the greater St.Vincent Health entity. Before joining St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, WHA prac-ticed at Indiana University Health North Hospital.

“At St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, our goal is to provide area residents with the options and the resources for the highest level of care,” Michael D. Chittenden, president of St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, said. “We have always had great physicians supporting the needs of our community and that’s why we are delighted to welcome WHA where we can continually expand our services to our female patients.”

The board certified obstetricians and gy-necologists joining St.Vincent Carmel Hos-pital are doctors Beki Denman, Charles R. Echt, Stefanie A. Flora, Catherine Hilliker, Julie A. Hirsch, Amy L. Moon and Sara H. Murphy.

WHA has been serving patients in the In-dianapolis area for 29 years. The physicians

in obstetrics at WHA have expertise in pre-term labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes; gestational diabetes; gestational hypertension; preeclampsia; breech birth; previous shoulder dystocia (shoulder(s) of the baby are not entering the pelvis during the birth as they should); vaginal births after cesarean; multifetal gestation; intrauterine growth restriction (baby growing poorly during pregnancy); oligiohydramnios, poly-hydramnios (too little or too much amniotic fluid); advanced maternal age (mother older than 35 years at delivery); grand multiparity (more than five pregnancies); maternal/fetal medical and surgical conditions often in col-laboration with other specialists.

WHA physicians in gynecology can per-form laparoscopic and robotic surgeries for endometriosis, adhesions, fibroids and ovar-ian cysts. The physicians can also address pelvic floor disorders, perimenopause and menopause.

St.Vincent Carmel Hospital recently completed a 28,000-square-foot renovation of the rooms and amenities in the 124-bed maternity program. The WHA office is lo-cated at 13400 N. Meridian St., Suite 300, Carmel, IN 46032. For more information, call 582-9500.

DOUGH Business

Commentary by David Cain

Let’s say you want to build a new house. What’s your first step? Dig a hole? Before you send out a backhoe and start digging a hole, the first step is creating a plan or blueprint. Developing a plan defines what you want to build. If you didn’t set out a plan, how do you think the finished house would look? Like a shack or worse yet, something you couldn’t afford to finish? Regardless, it’s unlikely it would fulfill your needs or your vision.

Like a poorly planned house, many organizations have good intentions but no plan and, worse yet, no planning. The result is a bunch of projects that don’t neces-sarily work together. They are fragmented. It’s the equivalent of people in a company that collectively do their jobs but don’t have a firm grasp of the direction of the com-pany. They might do great work, but they are less effective than if they understood the vision and goals more fully. Solos in businesses and families cripple effectiveness.

If you are looking to gain some speed in 2013, take a look at your planning process. While developing a plan might not be at the top of your priority list, there is real value in the planning process; the process of talking through what makes sense and how it will be accomplished, assigning that responsibility to people and revisiting and refining it throughout the year. In the words of Dwight Eisenhower, “Plans are nothing. Planning is everything.”

Commentary by jamie ianigro

Question from Christina A. from Carmel: I just graduated in December and am fortunate to have found a job that is going to allow me to move out of my fam-ily home. Is renter’s insurance something that I really need?

response from jamie ianigro: Congratulations on the new job! Now it’s time to protect that paycheck with a renter’s insurance policy. People like to make many excuses about why they neglect to purchase a renter’s insurance policy. “I cant’ afford it.” “I don’t have enough stuff to insure.” “Nothing is going to happen to my stuff.” The liability protection alone is really enough reason to buy, but let’s break it down.

The first thing you need to know about renter’s insurance is that it’s pretty af-fordable. A typical policy can cost less than $200 per year. That’s less than $4 per week. It’s worth the sacrifice. You are also in for a nice bonus if you already have car insurance. Many insurance carriers will give you a multi-policy discount if you package your auto and renter’s policy together with the same company.

The second thing you need to know is that your stuff is much more valuable than you realize. How much would it cost you to start over if you had a total loss? Apartments burn down and get robbed just like houses. Starting over after a loss like that is much easier when your independent insurance agent drops off a check to replace all of your things.

The last thing you need to know is probably the most important. A renter’s policy protects your financial assets by providing liability coverage. Liability insurance covers you for injury you cause to others and for damage to property that belongs to others. There are many ways to trigger a liability claim, so I’ve got some examples for you.

Claim scenario A: You decide to play in a recreational softball league. While batting, you hit a pitch back at the pitcher, hit him, and hospitalize him. The pitcher sues you, and your renter’s policy steps in to defend you and settle the suit.

Claim scenario B: You have some friends over for dinner. Your floor is wet and one of the friends slips and falls and requires medical treatment. Your renter’s policy steps in to pay for the treatment.

The risk of going without this simple insurance coverage is not worth the cou-ple of dollars a week that you save by not having it.

You can’t afford not to have renter’s insurance

Commentary by David Decker

Functional, beautiful lighting can’t be created from a single light source. To achieve optimum lighting for your home, consider using layers of light in each room. To help you visualize this, try thinking of each light source as a layer in a cake. Each layer brings a different flavor to the cake, but they come together to make a single delicious dessert. Layering lighting works in the same way, by blending together mul-tiple light sources to create a rich and ambient atmosphere.

The bottom layer of the lighting cake is called the “overall” layer or “ambient” layer. This is the foundation of the room’s lighting design. Chan-deliers, ceiling fixtures and wall sconces fall into this category, and are intended to create soft illumination for everyday use. The ambient layer will determine the general brightness of the room. Choose to lower the lights in bedrooms and dining rooms to generate a romantic atmo-sphere. Or use brighter ones in the kitchen to make the room feel vibrant and energetic.

The next layer of lighting is the “task” light-ing. This bright layer illuminates specific areas or surfaces to help with activities like cooking or reading. Because task lighting is more direct, us-ing more of these lights instead of ambient lighting can help you save on energy bills.

Accent lighting refers to the top layer of your lighting system. This lighting helps enhance the

room and create visual interest. You can use ac-cent lighting to illuminate art or architectural elements. Accent lights are usually adjustable so they can be used to produce a variety of styles for the room. Put the icing on the cake by im-plementing decorative lights. This layer doesn’t necessarily add functional light to the room; it’s mainly there to complete the look of the room. Make sure these lights are on the dim side so they don’t overpower the rest of your décor.

Light layering techniques are especially rele-vant now around the holidays. String lights and candles are the perfect third or fourth layer for your home lighting scheme. Dim the ambient lights to make your Christmas tree and decora-tions really shine. A fireplace can also act as a cozy lighting source. Have fun decorating and happy holidays to you all!
