Last January, economist Michael J. Hicks jour-neyed through a near-blizzard to give his annual economic forecast speech to the Carmel Chamber of

Commerce.This year, the roads are a

lot smoother.“The forecast for both weather and economy are

getting better,” he said. “When I was here last year, the economy was in a free fall. Maybe, it was be-cause it was negative 17 outside, but there was also still uncertainty regarding health care costs.”

Hicks, a professor at Ball State University, spoke at the chamber’s January luncheon, predicting good news for Indiana’s economy. Hamilton County should look even better than most parts of the state.

He forecasts that Indiana’s gross domestic prod-uct and job growth will be higher than it was in 2014. He thinks that Indiana’s GDP will increase more than half a percent better than the nation in 2015. He puts national GDP growth at 2.7 to 2.9 percent with Indi-ana’s GDP growing around 3.3 to 3.4 percent.

Hicks predicts that job growth will increase next year and the unemployment rate will decline to 5.7 percent by the end of 2015. The bad news is that Indiana’s wages won’t rise as fast as some other places and the income gap between Indiana and other states will lessen.

Hicks mentioned that low gas prices around $2 a gallon should continue which will mean reduced costs for companies and more money in consumers’ pockets.

In Hamilton County, Hicks puts population growth at 2 percent with wealth growth at 5 percent, mean-ing that from when kids are born to when they graduate college their standard of living will have doubled. He said the continued urbanization of Ham-ilton County is great for its economy.

“This remains a popular place to be some sort of headquarters activity,” he said. “So the structure of this economy will resemble more the rapid growth we see in urban areas nationally. Rural places aren’t growing as well.”

He said Indiana will continue to remain strong when it comes to manufacturing products, but un-fortunately Indiana’s efficient production might mean fewer employees are needed.

Other local professors had different views on Indi-ana’s economy, but agreed that it looked strong.

A panel of economists from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business agreed that the economy should finally break out of its rut, with GDP grow-ing 3 percent nationally in 2015, but Indiana trailing shortly behind.

“Indiana’s GDP grew more quickly than the U.S. in 2010, about twice as fast as the nation,” said Timo-thy Slaper, research director of the Indiana Business Research Center in the Kelley School. “In the three following years, Indiana’s economic output growth rate was a tad behind the U.S., and 2014 is expected to close the year at just a fraction off the national rate. This trend – being just a half step behind the national average growth rate – is forecasted to con-tinue through 2017.”

Kyle Anderson, clinical assistant business eco-nomics professor at IU, is more optimistic than Hicks when it comes to wage growth in Central Indiana.

“For the first time in years, employees will have more leverage and employers will need to give wage increases to keep valuable employee,” he said.

Tim Monger, president of the Hamilton County Eco-nomic Development Corporation, said he was encour-aged by Hicks’ remarks.

“I think the key is isolating it down to this par-ticular region,” he said. “I think Hamilton County will continue to see considerable growth.”

Clerk-Treasurer Diana Cordray recently re-ceived a visit from the Carmel Clay Historical

Society.New Executive Director Whit-

ney Dennis, who was hired in October, was curious to see some of the historic documents the city kept, such as old ordinances.

To her surprise, not only did Cordray store all of the documents in acid-free paper, but her staff had already scanned every docu-ment into a computer. These historic items can now be viewed by anyone using lazer fische, a document-sharing service accessible through the city’s Web site.

History buffs can go all the way back to the 1800s and peruse old hand-written resolutions and more.

“I don’t know if they knew how much I valued history,” Cordray said. “It’s very important to me which is why I wanted to preserve all of these documents to make them available to the public.”

When Cordray was elected in 1995 and took office in 1996, she said she discovered a ware-house full of files. Some were recent and some were very old. She said the aged documents would have been at risk of degrading since they weren’t stored using acid-free paper.

In 2000, Cordray began using the lazer fische software to catalogue all of the city’s files online. The idea was to help inter-department commu-

nication and provide transparency for voters. In some cases, it would remove the need for filing Freedom of Information Act requests to obtain certain documents.

But Cordray thought the site could couldn’t just be used going forward – but backward as well. It took about a year and a half, but her staff scanned in all of the historic documents they have in their possession.

More than a decade later, Cordray said most people still don’t realize this resource is avail-able. She said it’s fun to look back at how much the city has changed. The population has grown from 500 people in 1900 to 1,442 people in 1960 to more than 85,000 people in 2013. The area was mostly rural. Cordray said she’s seen many old documents dealing with issues such as chickens in people’s yards.

Commentary by Fred Swift

Jerry York was a fighter for Carmel. His leader-ship changed the face of Carmel by setting off a

chain of events that took the community, functioning as a small

town in the 1960s, to its move to city status which we have today.

Jerry created an organization known as the Carmel Clay Concerned Citizens Committee or 5Cs. In the late 1960s into the early 70s the orga-nization opposed and ultimately refined a com-munity master plan for establishing prescribed areas of the town for business development, recreational uses and residential zoning.

But it was in 1971 that the 5Cs endorsed a slate of candidates for the Town Board of Trust-ees that really brought change. The candidates were elected and set off on plans for public util-ity expansion, establishing of a business park and an aggressive annexation policy. Within four years with the board’s encouragement, voters determined that Carmel should become a city.

Jerry, who never ran for office himself, con-tinued to be a citizen watchdog. He supported changes he thought best for the community, and sometimes opposed policies he felt were not in the public interest.

But, Jerry was into more than politics. Sports at all levels were his passion. He was a founding member and “mover” of the Carmel Dad’s Club.

Who was Jerry York?

He also originated a Carmel Classic Track and Field Championship event. Bruce Jenner, Jesse Owens and other national sports celebrities ap-peared at the Classic and attracted wide public-ity and participation in the annual event.

Jerry could be controversial and confrontation-al. He didn’t mind such labels, and always kept his eyes on his goals. He had been a wrestler in high school and college, this despite the fact he was physically handicapped. One leg was much shorter than the other due to an accident suf-fered in his youth.

Commentary by Jeff Worrell

I was only five reps into my set of 50 Russian Crunches last night when I began to seriously

regret the too many fourth cookies I

indulged over the holidays. Two frosted snowmen would have certainly been enough. So I duti-fully struggle through a workout at 9Round 30 Minute Kickboxing to help me reclaim my mid-sec-tion and re-establish a healthy lifestyle. But, with 25 crunches left to go, I dream of the day when I can just go for it and have 4 cookies anytime I want. Thank goodness I met Sam and Wilma who set me straight.

Sam and Wilma Preissler, both 79 years young, are residents of the Barrington in Carmel and are big fans of a new Barrington process called Masterpiece Living. They call it a process instead of a program because Masterpiece Living is intended to continue on and on. Sam is one of 12 committee members responsible to help the entire community experience a renewal during the later years of their life. The process includes four basic pillars; social, intellectual, physical and spiritual.

Sam said, “Our committee is focused on ways to make sure the latter part of our life is not a

downward spiral, but exciting. People should not just be warehoused, but vitally involved in living.”

That mindset is spreading and becoming the norm in the 135 unit independent living apart-

ment complex as residents are offered many opportunities to change their lifestyle. They are encouraged to create new habits which can lead to a more fulfilling existence.

Wilma Preissler said, “Many of my hobbies involved less activity. Now I am more active. I wear a

pedometer to see how many steps I can get in. I went from being a couch potato to very active. My habits now include physical activity.”

During the month of February, the Masterpiece Living Committee is challenging all of the resi-dents to try four new activities every week. The key word is new. Four activities each resident has not previously experienced. A slight push to step out of a normal routine and generate some fresh experiences. While skydiving is not on the list, there are plenty of creative opportunities to bring out the hidden talents from everyone.

With the start of a new year – a year that includes a mayoral election – Current in Carmel caught up with Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard to

ask him about his plans for 2015.

What projects are you excited about most going into 2015?

“For one, getting the City Center com-pleted. More buildings are going to be built. Lots of work involved there. And Midtown. It’s exciting to see City Center connected to the Arts and Design District. We also have proposals on the Party Time Rental site. Our goal of walkable, pedestrian-friendly downtown is coming to fruition and the reces-sion is over. It’s going to be a good year. Most cities struggle to get any investment in their central city and here we are seeing tens of millions of dollars going into ours. We’re really fortunate. I think it also shows our decision to use the arts as an economic development driver is paying off. People want to live near The Pal-ladium in the center of our city.”

How do you think the opening of U.S. 31 will affect local businesses?

“It’s going to be great. First of all, we have 90 corporate headquarters and the ability to con-nect to the northern part of the state will be tremendous. I’m from the northern part of the

Questions? Brainard answersstate originally and it would take me three hours to do the drive. Now it’ll be two. Once the rural areas raise their speed limits eventually, we’re going to see a day when South Bend is an hour and half away. That’s going to do wonders for

commerce. The retail areas are going to do much better when the construction is over. It’s always hard to do retail near a construction site.”

What are your hopes for the up-coming election?

“I enjoy the management part of my job a lot more than I enjoy the political side and so it’ll be nice when it’s over

with. I want to get a council of people who care about the city and who are serious and profes-sional about their disagreements. There will always be disagreements, but we want a council with background in management and who know how to compromise and move the city forward.”

How do you think the election will affect the process of governing in 2015?

“Usually, election years are a bit easier to gov-ern since everybody is on good behavior.”

Are there any political races or hot issues that you’ll keep an eye on in the statehouse or in D.C.?

“We keep an eye on where our money is being spent in D.C. and we work hard to get as much of it back as we can. And we’re pretty successful at that.”

Newly elected Hamilton County Commissioner President Mark Heirbrandt said the commission-

ers are planning for the next five to 10 years down the road, but with 2015 in mind, here are the

top projects for the county:Jail changes, expansion

As a result of legislative changes, beginning July 1 Indiana counties will be responsible for housing convicted inmates with Class D felonies instead of the Indiana Dept. of Corrections.

“Our inmate population could increase by 70 inmates a day by 2016, bringing the inmate jail population to 123 percent of ca-pacity,” Heirbrandt said. “We are looking at the master plan and how we are going to accom-modate additional inmates. The state’s put that burden on us.”

Officials said a shell was built on the third story of the Hamilton County Community Correc-tions so the county has 33,000 square feet of open space available. It is estimated to cost $70 to $80 per square foot to build out that area into usable space.

Judicial center expansionSpace at the Hamilton County Judicial Center

is nonexistent and officials have decided to build

Jail, and more, to expandan addition instead of find a new location to house county departments. Officials estimate it would cost $20 million to build three shell stories and furnish the first floor. However, any govern-ment or school project costing more than $12 million requires a referendum and that route is not something the county wishes to take.

“We have selected a firm but are somewhere in limbo right now,” Heir-brandt said. “We can’t move forward on any type of construction until we know what is going to be done.”

County officials have approached state lawmakers to adjust the bill.

“It doesn’t fit the needs for every community,” he said. “Every county is

different. We’d like to be able to insert money above the $12 million cap … I feel very confident we will get something done.”

Public safetyCountywide first responders will be switched

to a new radio system. The county was previ-ously split on two radio systems but the new one will allow easier communication and is the same one used in Marion County and by the Indi-ana State Police.

“This allows us to talk to multiple agencies,” Heirbrandt said. “This is going to take public safety to another level for us.”

Continuing to deter criminal activity through-out Carmel will be a key topic when Mayor Jim

Brainard and other officials host a Feb. 25 meeting for city neighborhood associa-

tions and crime watch liaisons.Brainard will be joined at the open

meeting by Police Chief Tim Green, City Engineer Jeremy Kashman and Lt. Joe Bickel, the Carmel Police Dept. public information officer. They will use the platform to discuss achievements attained in 2014 and fill in neighborhood and business repre-sentatives on plans for their respective depart-ments in 2015.

For Bickel, it provides a great opportunity to give all of the participating neighborhood and business crime watch groups an update on hot topics from last year and trends and special events for this year, with an eye toward closer working relationships.

“It’s a real good way for us to share infor-mation with the public and for people to be

informed on what’s going on within the city and maybe even their own neighborhood or business district,” he said.

Bickel said there are 135 neighborhood as-sociations participating in the crime watch program out of 394 subdivisions within Carmel. He said 27 businesses participate in the commercial crime watch. He would like to see both those numbers increase and encouraged rep-resentatives from neighborhoods and businesses not currently involved in the crime watch program to attend the

meeting and learn more.“If people are interested in (joining crime

watch), they can come hear about it and other things going on in the city,” Bickel said, “They can also ask questions during my presentation or the chief’s presentation. It’s kind of an open forum because I know typically the mayor and the chief field a lot of questions during the meeting.”

The meeting is set for 6-8 p.m. Feb. 25 in the second floor Council Chambers of Carmel City Hall, 1 Civic Square.

“We’re taking the “fun” out of fundraiser to raise money for Tatum’s Bags of Fun, a local charity that puts together backpacks full of games and activities for kids who are going through cancer treatment,” said owner of The Cycle Studio Travis Rassat.

To raise the money, 19 riders rode for 11 hours as part of an initiative with The Suf-ferfest, which is a national indoor bike-riding challenge.

Riders hit Guinness recordWheels turn as the 19 riders at SUFFERdaiser aim to make the Guinness Book of World Records. The 19 rode for 11 hours, and afterward called the Guinness association to confirm their record.

Vincent Hammer of Noblesville, son of Erin and Derek Hammer, is 12 years old and is the young-est participant in the world to take on this chal-lenge. He raised $1,800 by himself for Tatum’s Bags of Fun.

Jayson Parker, executive director of Tatum’s Bags of Fun, tatumsbagosoffun.org, and since 2008 every child in Indiana diagnosed with cancer receives a backpack full of games, toys worth $350. Parker and his daughter Tatum started this company after she fought and beat cancer. She is now five years cancer free and in the eighth grade.

Jane Flanders has been dealing with cerebral palsy her entire life.

However, following hip-replacement surgery and then suffering leg injuries in a car accident,

the 56-year-old Flanders was severely depressed about her difficulty moving.

“I was at the low of the low,” Flanders said. “I was about ready to give up because I was hav-ing so much difficulty that I was about ready to go to a wheelchair.”

That changed when her brother, Scott, sug-gested she give Pilates a try because he had been doing it. Scott, chief executive officer of Playboy Enterprises, Inc., who lives in California, told her he would pay for her sessions. Pilates is a system of physical conditioning training with low-impact exercises and stretching on special equipment.

“I had checked out a couple places and either they didn’t call me back or I had a bad feeling about one person I talked to,” said Flanders, a Westfield resident for six years who previously lived 15 years in Carmel. “They said we’ll get you in a class, and I knew I needed individual work.”

After looking around, Flanders found the per-fect fit with Carmel’s Reforming Indy Pilates and senior instructor Tod Baker. Flanders calls it a miracle she found Baker.

Workingher way

backWhen Baker, a Carmel resident, learned he

would have his first client with cerebral palsy, he did a great deal of online research and spoke with doctors and physical therapists he knew.

“We kind of grew together,” Baker said. “She was new to this (Pilates). She had done a lot of physical therapy. With me, it was a whole new ballgame.”

Flanders was thrilled that Baker took so much interest in learning about cerebral palsy to for-mulate a plan for her.

“He has worked with people with multiple sclerosis and then he works with all kinds of athletes, men and women,” Flanders said. “He does the gamut.”

Before her health setbacks, Flanders was used to being active despite her cerebral palsy.

“I would snow ski with help,” Flanders said. “I taught my son how to play soccer and play hoops. I’ve always walked differently. I’m func-tioning but I want to keep functioning.”

A dietician, Flanders said she hasn’t been able to work for a few years because her cerebral palsy advanced.

“Some say I’m a miracle walking,” Flanders said. “There are lot of people with CP who are worse. I could be top heavy and go to a wheel-chair. You think I want to be in a wheelchair? I

want to be dancing.”Flanders had hip replacement surgery in Feb-

ruary. Then as she was recovering from that, she was in a car accident in late April.

“I had my kneecap broken and it twisted my feet,” Flanders said. “I was so depressed. I’ve learned to walk at least four times in my life, but this time it has been very hard.”

That changed after Flanders started at Re-forming Indy in October. Baker said after a few sessions she started walking better. Proper stretching has been one key factor.

“Tod knows every tiny muscle so he tries to work those muscles and tendons,” Flanders said. “Stretching is the No. 1 thing that helps me. It’s very hard to get a good stretch yourself.”

Baker said her balance is much better.“She walks faster without the crutch,” Baker

said. “She feels mentally better and physically better.”

Baker works with Flanders on simple tasks like getting in and out of the car or getting up off the floor.

Flanders has had at least four personal train-ers in the past, but Pilates has been a better fit for cerebral palsy.

“As people get older we have to think more about not falling and keeping our strength up,” Flanders said. “It’s given me strength and balance.”

Her work with Baker is motivating, she said.“This (Pilates room) is no crying place,” Flan-

ders said. “No being down on yourself. When I leave and I walk, my posture and everything is awesome.”

COVER STORY

Three Carmel residents are being awarded a rare opportunity.

Katherine Funke, Alexandra Tigges and Samuel Vance have been selected for the Governor Bob Orr Entrepreneurial Fellow-

ship. Named for the late Indiana Gov. Robert D. Orr, the program pairs college graduates with Indiana high-growth companies for a two-year tenure of mentorship, networking, job skill devel-opment and professional growth.

Tigges, a 2011 Cathedral High School graduate who will graduate from Indiana University in hu-man biology, will work at Angie’s List.

“I simply could not have accepted a better invitation after graduation,” Tigges said. “The Orr Fellowship ex-ceeds any desire or expectation for my career and personal life. The reason for my excitement is because of its unique balance between its mentorship pro-gramming for the fellows and the ability for each person to have a personal growth experience in a different company. The recruitment process al-lows the fellows to be matched with companies that share our same values and demonstrate the importance of having loyal, committed employees that share the same passion.

“As I will begin my career with Angie’s List, my peers will be working in other highly innovative Indianapolis-based companies that hold some of the Midwest’s most promising business leaders. Nothing can beat an opportunity like that, and for

this I am thankful.”Funke, a 2011 Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory

School graduate who will graduate from DePauw in May, will work for Outlook, a health manage-ment company.

“During my job search, I knew that my ideal situation would be one where I would be able to further explore my interests and hone in on what I am passionate about.,” Funke said. “The Orr Fel-lowship offers me the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally in an environment where searching is encouraged.”

Vance, a 2011 Heritage Christian High School graduate, will graduate with a double major at IUPUI in Informatics and Economics in May. Vance will work at BidPal: a software company tar-

geted at nonprofit fundraising events. Vance said work-ing will give him great exposure to the worlds of non-profit and for profit companies.

“What really at-tracted me to the Fellowship was the network that you are integrated into and all the career avenues which alumni of the programs have taken,” Vance said.

The three students were selected from more than 800 applicants for the final class of 45 Orr Fellows, with an average GPA of 3.7 among them. The program has a five-step application process which includes networking events and inter-views. In addition to academic achievements, the applicants are judged on extracurricular involvement, leadership potential and previous job experience.

is pointless to imagine that we’d ever return to an era where important, even life-endangering, matters are not openly discussed. Yet as our malls have become little more than stadiums for the Ultimate Gang Fighting Championships and innocent police officers are executed in some imagined noble quest of retaliation, why do we still blush if someone acknowledges that the culture of a community might be a consideration in the conversation about how to improve our social ailments? Anyone with an Internet con-nection and the inclination can review scores of videos of shopping center hoodlums terrorizing shopkeepers and customers alike. Shouldn’t we be talking about what we see? If there is an elephant in the room, does our shamed silence really help?

Commentary by Terry Anker

Can being polite ever be a bad thing? In the Victorian age, we were encumbered with a pleth-ora of topics deemed “impolite” and to be avoid-ed, especially in mixed company, at all costs. Money, sex, health, politics and religion all made the taboo list. And, in many Asian cultures, the interaction between a woman and her physician was greatly restricted, providing an ivory doll to which the stricken female was to demurely point to the general region of discomfort so that the attending doctor could plot a course of medical treatment. It would seem that death by embar-rassment was a real possibility.

How much more enlightened and insightful have we become? Our society will openly discuss all manner of Kardashian proclivity in prime time. The Family Guy reminds our youth from the time they jump off the bus until the wee hours of the morning that there is no taboo that should not be transgressed. One could certainly debate the merits of this kind of open discourse; but, it

We’re sure you’ve heard the fallout about President Barack Obama’s no-show at the Paris anti-terrorism march, which drew “dozens of world leaders” on Jan. 11. Quite frankly, we don’t understand what all the fuss is about. Every-thing we’ve read and heard about the incident emphasized how the event drew “world lead-ers,” several of which represent some of America’s closest allies, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Spanish Minister Mariana Rajoy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, among oth-ers. In Obama’s defense, the key words are, as we see it, “world leaders,” and, as such, Obama simply doesn’t qualify. Therefore, we don’t see reason for the uproar regarding his absence. As the White House fumbled for a response to en-quiring reporters, it cited security concerns as one reason behind his absence; however, it was comforting to know security standards were met when, on the day following the march, Jan. 12, the “leader of the free world” accepted a San Antonio Spurs jersey, when he honored the team’s 2014 NBA championship. Brave soul, he.

College football crowned its first playoff champion last Monday, when Ohio State de-feated Oregon in the inaugural game. On the non-football side of the equation, it was re-freshing to see a Super Bowl-type atmosphere functioning not with corporate types in the stands and at the various related venues, but with true fans of the teams or college football in general. Bands, cheerleaders, stadium-wide chants … it all made for a fine experience, when the opposite could have happened.

An American Beauty: This one takes the rose. As one of us unwrapped his dry cleaning the other day and took out a shirt, the hanger was covered by paper on which was imprinted “Caution: Do Not Swallow.” That’s rich!

Reader remindersCommentary by Danielle Wilson

News flash: If you dislike my column, DON’T READ IT! Seriously, no one is making you sit down with your cup of organic coffee and peruse my articles. Turn the page, avert your eyes, or simply toss the paper straight into recycling. But don’t e-mail to tell me I’m a ter-rible mother or that my husband Doo is an abusive spouse. Don’t send letters that ask how in the world my children will remain out of prison and/or fat camp or how I must find Jesus to save my soul from eternal damnation (a path I’m clearly on!) You can certainly keep on judging me and my choices; I’m just asking that you keep the mean stuff to yourself.

I’m not exactly sure where the current string of personal criticism was spawned. I’ve kept my topics non-controversial and rather benign, and focused mostly on the antics of my four children and bald Sugar Daddy. Until last week, I’d had a fairly good run of little to no hate mail. Nevertheless, recent expressions of “distaste” dictate the need for the following reminders about my column.

I’m a math teacher with neither a degree in English nor in journalism. I rely on my good wits, Spellcheck, and my amaz-ing editors to keep me in the “language clear.” Occasionally I invent words or de-liberately [meaning: on purpose] defy the laws of grammar. Basically, I write how I speak, which almost always includes nonsensical vocabulary and incomplete sentences. So there.Doo and I have been married for 18 years. We still laugh a lot, enjoy spending time together and periodically frustrate the bejeesus out of each other. I choose to share the aggravating moments because they’re far more interesting and enter-taining. This should in no way imply that we’re headed for divorce. Trenton again, perhaps, but not divorce.I believe my children are healthy, happy and acceptably well-adjusted. True, they fight incessantly, have messy rooms, don’t make their school sports’ teams, some-times eat PopTarts for dinner, are addicted to all forms of “electronical” devices, and occasionally get grounded for bad grades. I imagine they’re like most kids. I’m not rul-ing out future therapy or incarceration, I’m just saying they are normal. My writing motto is and always has been, “Keep it Real!” If you want to read about Stepford wives, look elsewhere.

So let’s keep the meanness to yourselves, people! Peace out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

What makes great one-liners? They are often wonderful insights, plays on words or mis-directions in thinking. Below are just a few of my favorites that

I collected during the year 2014. Some are far older than that, but they were new to me and made me smile. I hope they do the same for you. Think of it as a belated Christmas gift. Next week you have to read my jokes

(Note: when I know whose line it is, I give proper credit. But using other people’s jokes is not unheard of. After all, that’s how I got this column written.)

I told people I wanted to be a comic when I grew up. They laughed at me. They’re not laugh-ing now. (Bob Monkhouse)

My parents were here for a long visit. I took them to the airport today. The plane leaves next Thursday. (Margaret Smith)

At the hotel, I asked for a wake-up call at 6:30 a.m. The phone rang and the clerk said, “You’re a loser, quit wasting your life.” (Demetri Martin)

I was a ballerina but I quit when I injured a groin muscle. It wasn’t mine. (Rita Rudner)

When people ask me how I am getting to the airport, I say, “Well, I’m flying to one of them. (Steven Wright)

I asked my date what she wanted to drink. She said, “Oh, I guess I’ll have champagne.” I said, Guess again.” (Slappy White)

Whose line is it, anyway?I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then

I realized God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked him to forgive me. (Emo Philips)

I intend to live forever. So far so good. (Steven Wright)

Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?

If I’m the best man at a wedding, why is she marrying him? (Seinfeld)

I make the beds, do the dishes and the laun-dry. Six months later, I have to start all over again. (Joan Rivers)

If it wasn’t for Venetian Blinds, it would be curtains for all of us. (Eric Morecambe)

A woman with a clipboard stopped me in the street and asked if I I had a minute for cancer research. I said, “Sure, but we won’t get much done.”

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. And so do monkeys, if they have a gun. (Eddie Izzard)

I have kleptomania. But when it gets bad, I take something for it. (Ken Dodd)

I don’t care what the newspapers say about me, as long as they don’t tell the truth. (Kather-ine Hepburn)

CSO hosts The Texas Tenors

MUSIC

Saluting our veterans with half-price tickets for a star spangled night of music, the Carmel Symphony

Orchestra marches into the second half of its 39th season hosting the “The Texas Tenors” performance at 8 p.m. Jan.

30 and 31, at the Palladium.Kicking off the New Year “The Texas Tenors,” a clas-

sically trained trio infused with country roots presented by Pedcor Companies, will be in Carmel. And according to Clint Reeves with the CSO they are the highest-ranking vocal group of all time on that and were once on the America’s Got Talent television show.

“’The Texas Tenors’ routinely sell out performances all over the world,” Reeves stated. “These two concerts mark their Central Indiana debut and are not included

on the subscription season. All vet-erans receive half off their individual ticket purchase.”

David Bowden is the artistic direc-tor of the CSO and will be conducting this show and is excited about the show and other performances pre-sented this season.

“‘The Texas Tenors’ are nothing short of a cultural phenomenon." Bowden said. "They combine such a versatility of style, with warmth, cha-risma, stunning vocal artistry, a sense of playfulness and depth of feeling that makes them a hit with audi-ences everywhere they perform.” “The Carmel Sympho-ny is enormously excited to be able to present them in a tribute to those who serve and have served.”

To purchase tickets, call the CSO office at 844-9717. From left to right: country music singer JC Fisher, pop singer Marcus Collins and opera singer John Hagen, all who make up ‘The Texas Tenors.’ (Submitted photo)

“We are delighted to present such a variety of performers and musical styles,” said director David Bowden. “The significant part-nerships with regional organizations and the flair and sparkle of world-class guest artists make this an extraordinary season of mu-sic from the heart and for the soul.”

Moyer will play Addinsell’s Warsaw Concerto and The Entertainer from “The Sting.”Ellis Island: The Dream of America, presented March 14, is a sweep-ing multi-media work featuring actors and video projection. The work is a powerful testament to the experience of thousands of immigrants who entered America through that iconic portal – a re-minder that, for so many who have come here, America has been a symbol of freedom and opportunity for a new life. Wasson’s Ameri-can Fanfare and Dvoák’s Cello Concerto round out this program.On April 11, the CSO will present the medalists of the pre-eminent International Violin Competition of Indianapolis in Gold-Silver-Bronze.

NIGHT & DAY

By Mark Ambrogi

Tina’s Traditional Old English Kitchen will be bringing a healthy helping of Scotland to Carmel this time. Burns Night suppers are a tradition in

Scotland on the birthday of famous Scottish poet Robert Burns.

The Carmel tea room restaurant, 30 N. Range Line Rd., will hold a dinner from 6 to 8 p.m. on Jan. 25. Tina Jesson, a Great Britain native, said she has hosted Burns Night suppers before in previous locations.

“We specialize in British food so we thought British-themed literary events would give people an experience like no other —well not without hopping on a plane and visiting the UK,” she said.

Jesson said it also gives her restaurant a chance to show the amazing array of foods of-fered in the British Isles. Jesson said while Great Britain natives come to her events “we find is that our American guests are very supportive of experiencing a slice of Britain here in the center

of Indiana.”Jesson said there are plans for bagpipers and

Scottish dancers. Someone also will likely read passages from Burns’ famous work.

Restaurant manager Claire Hollenbaugh, an-other native Brit, said they are seeking a person with a true Scottish accent to read his poem “Address to a Haggis.”

Among Burns’ other famous poems is “Auld Lang Syne.”

Hollenbaugh said it’s a Burns Night tradition to hang the Scottish flag.

The five-course dinner (costs $45 including tax) includes:

Scottish Smoked Salmon and Cream CheeseScotch BrothHaggis (ground lamb with oats special seasoning) with Neeps (turnips) and Tatties (mashed potatoes) Cranachan is a traditional Scottish dessert made from a mixture of whippedcream, honey and raspberries and oatmeal.Coffee and Scottish Shortbread

to draw new visitors and new interest in the facility located in Carmel’s Arts & Design District.

Elaine Mancini, the museum’s executive direc-tor since November, is leaning on her experi-ence in marketing communications and tourism promotion to increase awareness, attendance and funding for the museum at 111 E. Main St. She has found that “once we get people into the mu-seum, they love it.” It’s getting them to take that first look, which is the genesis of the encounters program.

Artists from all areas – musicians, singers, songwriters, storytellers, oral historians and more – will take turns leading an encounter each Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. For the opening encounter on Jan. 28, Mancini has secured world-renowned musician Csaba Erdelyi – the only person to win the prestigious Carl Flesch Violin Competition playing a viola and currently lead viola for the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. Other acts lined up include a group of soloists, a Carmel High School duo playing acoustic guitar and percussion and a singer performing Irish songs around St. Patrick’s Day.

The second Wednesday of each month’s en-

counter will be geared toward children under 12. There will also be times when Mancini asks at-tendees to draw something in the museum that inspires them or write a story about a museum object or theme. “Most people are quite creative and imaginative when they are given the correct atmosphere to show that,” she said.

Admission to the encounters is free (donations are appreciated) and guests are encouraged to check out the entire museum when they at-tend. Advance reservations for the encounters are appreciated so the museum has an idea what attendance will be. Anyone interested in performing at an encounter is encouraged to contact Mancini. For more information or to make reservations, call 575-9466 or visit www.museu-mofminiatures.org.

Commentary by Dr. Tammy Wittmann

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that randomly steal your sight without warning and

often without symptoms.In a healthy eye, there is a bal-

ance that is achieved between fluid produced in the eye and fluid leaving the eye. But with glaucoma, either too much fluid is produced or not enough leaves the eye. Either of these problems increases the pressure in your eyes. Continuous elevated pressure damages the optic nerve. It’s important to note that it is this dam-age that is glaucoma, not high pressure. About 30 percent of patients with glaucoma have what is considered normal pressure for the eyes.

If left untreated, damage to the optic nerve can lead to vision loss and even blindness. Here is a true case in my practice. I saw a 72-year-old man who was a farmer. He had never had a comprehensive eye examination. His distance vision was always pretty good but he started wearing over the counter readers in his late 40’s. When he was 72 he realized the readers were no longer helping his vision so he came to see

Be aware of glaucoma dangersme. Unfortunately he had end-stage glaucoma in both eyes and the optic nerve was irreversibly damaged. There were no prescription glasses that could help him see better. There were no treatments that could bring back his vision. The only thing we could do was to try to save his remaining vision, which by this time was like a very restricted tunnel.

There are several treatment options available when glaucoma is caught soon enough. Your eye doctor may suggest eye drops, a laser procedure or a surgical procedure depending on the type and severity of your glaucoma.

This is only one reason for a seemingly healthy person with 20/20 vision to get an an-nual comprehensive eye examination. Call your eye doctor and schedule yours today if you haven’t already.

A snack can save your marriage – Hunger causes people’s glucose levels to drop, so they have less energy and therefore less self-con-trol when it comes to dealing with anger and aggres-sion. Have a snack when you feel your mood dipping. A snack with protein and “slow carbs” - such as a handful of almonds and an apple - will help keep your blood sugar levels stable. Also, wait to discuss a sensitive topic until you are feel-ing full. Keeping an eye on how hungry you are can go a long way toward keeping your relationships healthy. Source: The Daily Burst.

Prevent wandering – Many people with Alzheimer’s disease wander. As the weather becomes dangerously cold, here are some tips to keep them safe.

Place nightlights throughout the home or facility. Install slide locks at the top or bot-tom of doors.Use childproof covers on doorknobs.Use monitoring devices that signal when a door is opened.Label doors with signs or symbols that explain the purpose of each room.Secure trigger items. Some people will not go out without a coat, hat, pocketbook, keys, wallet, etc. Making these items unavail-able can prevent wandering.

Natural cough remedy – Getting rid of a lingering cough can be difficult. But a recent study discovered an easy, natural solution that works far better than pre-scription cures. A remedy made from hon-ey and coffee reduced cough frequency by 93 percent, compared with 20 percent for a steroid and almost no effect from a cough suppressant medication. Mix about five parts honey to one part instant cof-fee crystals. Drink one tablespoon of the mixture in about seven ounces of water every eight hours as needed.

Monon gets SilverSneakers

Kurtis Baumgartner, director of the Monon Com-munity Center. (Submitted photo)

[email protected]

Monon Community Center director Kurtis Baumgartner had been wanting to add Health-ways SiliverSneakers program and Prime Fitness programs to his facility for a long time.

On Jan. 1, he got his wish.

The Healthways SilverSneakers Fitness program is an insurance benefit program through Medicare health plan (age 65 and over). The Monon Community Center is reimbursed through Healthways per each visit by the seniors.

The Prime Fitness program is Healthways’ commercial well-being program. It is available to members of participating health plans.

“We believe the MCC is one of if not the premier fitness service provider in the region,” Baumgartner said. “By adding the SilverSneakers and the Prime programs, we are encouraging those individuals that qualify to take control of their health by encouraging physical activity. It’s a new program for our facility but it’s something that has been around for two decades. We’ve been interested in getting the Healthway pro-grams going at our facility for awhile.”

Baumgartner said Healthways has to select the facilities for participation.

“When we began discussing this with them a few months ago, it was something we were really intrigued by,” Baumgartner said. “So far enrollment has been really good. It gives our current senior members and those that weren’t a member before access to our facility at no cost to them, depending on if they qualify. It has been really popular. There are a lot of new people in the door that haven’t been to the MCC before. They seem to enjoy our amenities and what we have to offer here.”

Baumgartner said the partnership enables the

facility to continue to offer new, innovative op-tions for staying healthy.

To confirm eligibility in the SilverSneakers Fit-ness program, individuals are encouraged to visit www.silversneakers.com/tools/eligibilty. Once eligibility is confirmed, the individual should bring the 16-digit Healthways ID number to the MCC to get the Escape Pass.

To check eligibility for Prime Fitness, visit https://healthfirstprime.healthways.com. If eli-gible, bring Healthways ID number to the MCC.

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. It’s an engaging

novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying,“Finally, a horror story void of vampires,

werewolves, or zombies!”Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

A prominent storefront at the corner of Range Line Road and Main Street has a new

tenant.California Closets, a store spe-

cializing in crafting home storage solutions, will open in spring 2015 in space for-merly occupied by Carmel Couture, according to Pedcor, the owner of the property.

Charlie Meyer, president of California Closets of Indianapolis, said his company was attracted to this location in the Carmel Arts & Design District because of its close proximity to other like-minded businesses. The Indiana Design Center is just down the street and there are more than 30 home design related businesses nearby, which should make for easy shopping

for would-be redecorators.Most people would assume that Carmel resi-

dents all have giant closets with lots of storage space, but Meyer said that new condos and empty nester homes mean that some Carmel residents might need help to maximize their space and organize their lives.

“California Closets is a perfect fit for Carmel, a city that continues to attract new residents to a variety of diverse housing opportunities that extend beyond traditional four-bedroom homes,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said in a statement. “Carmel’s growing City Center and Midtown developments, where mixed-use and higher density developments are under con-struction, provides many opportunities for a company that helps consumers think creatively about their space.”

owner Matthew Hastings posted on his blog that he was proud of his store but happy to move on.

“People are shocked when I tell them that I don’t really care that the shop closed,” he wrote. “Was I sad? Yes. Did I want it to stay open? Of course. Am I devastated that it closed? No. A lot of good things happened in that shop. Communi-ty was created. But that community doesn’t end just because the shop closed. And neither does my life. I am a better man for having tried to be a comic shop owner. I am not a failure.”

There are plenty of places to get a smoothie in Carmel, but none of those places use the

same ingredients as Vitality Bowls.

At some of those places, a fruit smoothie is not much more than a glori-fied milkshake loaded with sugar.

The health-conscious eatery will open on Feb. 7 in the location previously occupied by Huddles Frozen Yogurt in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

Vitality Bowls will offer low fat bowls and smoothies, along with a selection of fresh juices, soups, salads and paninis. The selections will focus on local, organic ingredients and will fea-ture “superfoods” such as Açaí berry, spirulina, bee pollen, chia seeds, goji berries, cacao nibs and more.

Steve Roberts, regional director for the new store, said they are excited about the Carmel location.

“It’s a very health conscious area,” he said. “Being right here on the Monon with all of the physical activity and everything going on, we just felt it was a perfect spot. It’s something you see every day in California and we think Carmel will be very receptive and quick to catch on.”

Roberts described the items as natural and “extremely filling” because they don’t use any fill-

Vitality Bowls to bring healthy treats to Main Street

ers, such as yogurt, powders, sugar or ice. Diners can fuel up with an Oatmeal Bowl before a long run or rebuild their muscles with a Warrior Bowl with peanut butter for protein and recovery.

“Everybody wants to eat healthy, but this food tastes great,” he said. “Even the meat-and-potatoes crowd will love this food.”

Roberts said there will be two more Central Indiana locations likely opening in 2015. The Car-mel location is also hiring and interested employ-ees can e-mail [email protected].

Earlier this month, Petco announced that it was pulling all of its Chinese-made dog and cat

treats off its shelves after it was discovered that the foreign prod-ucts might have led to the deaths

of thousands of dogs nationwide.And while customers of Carmel’s

newly relocated Petco location are ap-plauding this move, many local shops have been ahead of the curve in this situation.

John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Dog Bakery at 816 W. Main St., said he got rid of his Chinese treats more than three years ago. Mikesell points out that a lot of brands say “USA” on the front but on the back it’ll say that the product was manufactured in China and packaged in the United States.

While he has some outside products on his shelves, the biggest sellers at Mikesell’s store are his homemade goodies.

Mikesell often jokes that the baked goods are healthy for dogs, but humans could eat them as well. He was serious when he said he had one

Local pet shops react to Chinese dog food scare

of the apple-cinnamon muffins with his coffee in the morning.

“There isn’t anything in here that I make that I wouldn’t eat myself,” he said.

Just down the street, Sean Litke has built his business, Canine Cloud Nine, on the idea of selling healthy treats. He started the store in 2012 as a place where people could get their dog

groomed and buy some of the nutri-tious chicken jerky, which Litke makes himself.

Recently, Litke hasn’t spent as much of his time in the store at 110 W. Main St. because treat production has gone through the roof. He sold 3,500 pounds of jerky in 2014, compared to 500 pounds in 2013.

Litke sells his dog treats under his company Cosmo’s Superior Foods and he’s expanded into the “private label” business, which is where major brands will buy products from local com-panies to sell under their brand’s name.

Litke said it’s important to know where your pet’s food is coming from. He knows it could be easy to buy the cheapest brand of dog food/treats, but it’s not the best decision.

Two like-minded businesses have opened at each floor of the former Shiraz wine bar space in

the Carmel Arts & Design District. Iviva, a girls’ athletic clothing

store, opened at the end of last year and Balance Yoga and Fitness opened this month on the second floor.

Iviva is a company owned by Lululemon, one of the popular brands that combines fitness, fashion and function. The store at 404 W. Main St. sells active wear for girls ages 4 to 14.

“We love being close to the Monon and all of the activity on Main Street,” store manager Erica Peregine said. “It gives it that boutique feel com-pared to other areas.”

Peregrine said the clothes are meant to be durable and comfortable when you exercise, but also look fashionable enough that you don’t mind wearing them all the time.

“I’d say about half are athletes and half are girls who want something to look cute at school,” she said.

Just above Iviva, owners Will Baker and Heath-er T. Leo have opened their yoga studio, which is a second location of the HTL Yoga studio at Clay Terrace.

It’s one of the more unique spaces to prac-tice yoga. Walking in, the atmosphere looks like someone’s living room with a small kitchen located in the corner. When the space was used for Shiraz, this second floor was reserved for private parties and events. The wine bar’s owner lived on the third floor, hence the homey feel.

“It’s a nice central location,” Baker said. “It’s a beautiful place with great wood floors and natu-ral lighting. We have it set up as an environment where it can be a community.”

Baker and Leo have extensively redecorated the space but have made use of the existing fireplace – combined with sunlight from the large windows – to create a great way to practice hot yoga, which is a form of yoga where warm temperatures loosen the muscles and help par-ticipants sweat out toxins.

One of the specialties for Balance by HTL is the indo-board balance classes. This is where participants utilize a balance board that looks like a see-saw to help strengthen joints and build strength and balance.

By Mark Ambrogi

The Indiana Design Center wants to share its various designer expertise with the public.

The Designer on Call one-hour workshops are

held the third Tuesday of each month at 10:30 a.m. All the workshops take place at Car-mel’s Indiana Design Center, 200 S. Range Line Rd. There are 12 different design firms that have offices in the building. Andrea Kleymey-er, marketing director for Indiana Design Center, said a different designer hosts each month and the topics always vary.

“The topics range from getting your home ready for the market if you want to sell it to how to work to what color or live with what you

love,” Kleymeyer said. “So we try to appeal to different interests. We love the public to come in and learn and familiarize themselves with what the IDC is about.”

Kleymeyer said the workshops are announced quarterly. The workshops begin in September of 2013 and have been quite popular, Kleymeyer said.

Other workshops scheduled are:Feb. 17: Preparing your Home for Today’s Market, presented by Sassy Green Interiors.March 17: Living Luxuriously, presented by Kuster Design.April 21: Live With What You Love, present-ed by Coats-Wright Art & Design.

The workshops are free but an RSVP is recom-mended through [email protected] and call 569-5975. Space is limited.

Kleymeyer said usually 30 people attend each workshop.

Marsala: the color of 2015

Commentary by Vicky Earley

Move over, radiant orchid. Make room for mar-sala, Pantone’s ‘Color of the Year’ for 2015.

This rich, warm hue is a mel-low and earthy blend of reds and browns. It is as robust as the wine

that shares its name.Leatrice Eiseman, executive director at the

Pantone Color Institute explained that Marsala 18-1438 “enriches our mind, body and soul, exud-ing confidence and stability. Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth.”

The institute describes this carefully selected hue by describing it as a tasteful hue that em-bodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness.

While the prediction of trends is part fashion, part sociology and part crystal ball, it is clear that the color of the year is not just a random selection made by a group looking for a pretty color.

The institute notes, “to distill the prevailing mood into a single hue, the PCI team combs the world looking for future design and color influ-ences, watching out for that one color seen as ascending and building in importance through all creative sectors. Influences can include the entertainment industry, upcoming films, art, emerging artists, travel destinations and socio-economic conditions. Influences may also stem from technology, lifestyles and play styles, new

textures and effects that impact color, and even upcoming sports events that capture worldwide attention.”

This rich wine colored hue offers a return to a version of the brown family of colors but will stand nicely juxtaposed to ever popular gray.

Congratulations to Marsala, the Color of the Year for 2015! We are ready for the change!

Commentary by Don Knebel

Despite contrary claims, St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome remains the world’s largest church, featur-

ing the world’s tallest dome. Roman Catholics are more inspired by what they believe is its link to the bones

of St. Peter, whom they consider their first pope.In 319, newly Christian Roman Emperor Con-

stantine ordered a massive basilica built over a small shrine in a cemetery adjacent the Circus of Nero. Local Christians claimed the shrine marked the grave of Peter, the disciple of Jesus they believed was crucified in 64 A.D. near an obelisk, plundered from Egypt, near the center of the circus. Constantine’s church, named for Peter, became one of the most important churches in Christendom.

In 1505, the original St. Peter’s had fallen into disrepair and Pope Julius II decided to build a new basilica on the site. Numerous designs, all including a dome surpassing Brunelleschi’s as-tounding dome on the Florence Cathedral, were proposed by a series of noted architects, includ-ing Rafael. For various reasons, those designs were never built. In 1547, a frustrated Pope Paul III conscripted Michelangelo, then 72, to take over

the project and he is credited with creating the overall plan for the current building. In 1586, with construction underway, the obelisk from the Circus of Nero was placed in front of the basilica as a tribute to Peter, with a cross placed atop an apex designed to point toward Egypt’s sun god. Completed in 1626, St. Peter’s Basilica encloses almost five acres. The signature dome rises 448 feet, 160 feet higher than the United States Capi-tol dome.

Today, the body of Pope John XXIII is displayed behind glass on the main floor of St. Peter’s and that of Pope Saint John Paul II is entombed near Michelangelo’s famous pieta. They join at least 89 other popes buried in and under the church that Roman Catholics since Constantine have believed lies over the tomb of St. Peter. In the 1940s, archaeologists uncovered a handful of bones beneath St. Peter’s main altar later deter-mined to belong to a man in his 60s. The faithful have no doubt the man’s name was Peter.

RESULT: “We love the new layout of the house. It really functions well for our family. We love the kitchen the most because we can easily prep meals while also spending time with our kids.”

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING HOME: After fulfilling a dream of purchasing a river side home in the heart of

downtown Noblesville, the homeowners set out to update their 1940’s home to accom-

modate their love of family, cooking and reading. “The house wasn’t set up for the way we live our daily lives. It lacked storage space for our book collection. The kitchen was so cramped that we couldn’t cook together as a couple and the din-ing room didn’t flow well for hosting our large family.”

NEW FLOOR PLAN: The kitchen was gutted and a wall removed to create one large open space. The adjacent living room was transformed into the new dining room. To improve the natu-ral flow, the existing doorway leading into the family room was enclosed and two new door-ways were added on each end of the wall. The improved floor plan functions better and allows space to add built-in bookcases in the family room and the new dining room.

KITCHEN DETAILS: Maple cabinetry in an “Arc-tic” finish fills the enlarged kitchen with abun-dant storage space. The multi-purpose island includes integrated shelving for cookbooks and seating space for three teenagers. The decora-tive exhaust hood cabinetry adds dimension while the wall chase and niche covered in “Red-

mond” accent tile draws the eye to the cooking zone. To add natural light, two clear glass back-splash windows were added on each side of the kitchen sink.

READING NOOK: “We wanted to preserve the historical charm in the house so we decided to keep the breakfast nook and convert it into a quiet area for morning coffee and reading.” The existing wallpaper was removed and the room was painted yellow to brighten the space. The existing corner hutches were painted white with bold accent colors.
