Shapiro’s Delicatessen has paid only $4,000 on its city-owned lease this year, and has made no payments since April, according to Nancy Heck, Carmel’s director of commu-nity relations.

The Shapiro’s building, 918 S. Rangeline Rd., was purchased by the city via the Carmel Redevelopment Commission in 2010 for $2.3 million. The building was then leased back to Shapiro’s owner, Brian Shapiro. At the time, it was reported that the CRC had been making interest payments on Shapiro’s commercial loans on the building. The CRC receives its funds from commercial taxes paid by merchants in City Center and other tax increment financing districts in the city.

As part of the leasing agreement, Shapiro’s is supposed to pay the CRC rent in the amount of $1,000 per month, plus a percentage rent of the lesser of 4 percent of gross sales or 50 percent of net sales. However, according to Heck, those payments have stopped since April.

Similar commercial space at Cornerstone Commons, just north of Shapiro’s at 912 S. Rangeline Road, is currently on the market at an asking price of $3,000-$4,300 per month, or $22 per square foot.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he has been talking privately

with Shapiro about the matter, but declined to comment further. He did say, however, that the city is looking at the Shapiro’s build-ing as a possible home for an employee health clinic “if it gets subdivided,” fueling speculation that Shapiro may be looking to

downsize his current space.“We’re investigating whether an employee

health clinic would save our self-funded health insurance plan money, and we’re considering the Shapiro’s building as a possible location,” Brainard said.

Shapiro would neither confirm nor deny whether plans to subdivide his space were in the works.

“Nothing has occurred,” Shapiro said. “I’ll consider anything, but we haven’t responded … haven’t talked to anyone from the redevelop-ment commission about their offers.”

Redevelopment Commission member Jeff Worrell said that although he’d heard talk of the building being subdivided in the past, it had been some time since he’d heard anything new.

“If there are any plans to divide it up, I’m not aware of those,” Worrell said.

According to Tim Ochs, an attorney for Ice Miller who repre-sents Shapiro, the business is “considering its options.”

“Every business has to consider options, and that’s what Brian is doing,” Ochs said. “But there is no deal in place. For me to say that it’s something that’s likely or unlikely would be premature.”

No payments from Shapiro’s ‘since April,’ according to city


The Aug. 3 death of Carmel High School graduate Brett Finbloom, apparently as a result of alcohol poi-soning, remains under investigation by Carmel police.

The 18-year-old was transported to the Indiana Heart Hospital after friends called 911 reporting that Finbloom had no pulse. He died two days later after being taken of life support.

In the 911 dispatch call, released last week by the Car-mel police, an unidentified caller reported finding Finbloom passed out in the backyard of his eastside Carmel home. The caller said he was unable to find a pulse, and noticed a bump on Finbloom’s head where he may have fallen. According to the call, Finbloom's friends

believed he had been drinking vodka prior to arriving at the house. A statement issued by the Hamilton County Coroner’s office concluded that Finbloom’s death was consistent with alcohol poisoning.

Finbloom, the son of Norman and Dawn Finbloom, was a member of the varsity soccer team and “Do Something Club” while at Carmel High School. He volunteered at the Monon Center, where he worked with teenagers with special needs.

Finbloom was planning to move to the University of Oklahoma this week, where he intended to study business.

Finbloom is survived by his parents; sister, Jenna Finbloom; and grandparents, Keith and Dee Wiegand and Lorraine Finbloom. His obituary may be viewed online at flannerbuchanan.com.

$195 miLLion CrC reFinanCinG BaCk on traCk – A deal between the Carmel Redevelopment Commission and the Carmel City Council to refinance some $195 million worth of debt incurred by the CRC briefly went off the rails last week as Councilwoman Luci Sny-der suspended all further work on the ordinance following comments made by Mayor Jim Brainard to the Indianapolis Star. Snyder is the chair of the finance committee, which was set to read the refinancing ordinance at its meeting Thursday. Snyder reportedly took offense at Brainard's characterization of the CRC's money woes as "temporary cash-flow issues." After Snyder's decision, Brainard backtracked, telling the Indianapolis Star that the CRC needed to "recognize that there is a problem" and work together with the council.

Commentary by Frank Basile

When I agreed to become the interim CEO/president of the Center for the Performing Arts on July 29, 2011, I did not expect that I would be serving in that capacity until Aug. 17, 2012. But here it is, more than a year later and I am fi-nally turning the job over to the new permanent CEO, Tania Castroverde Moskalenko.

So much has happened during this year, but the business of the Center continued, thanks to the hard work and dedication of a compe-tent and loyal staff. This included successfully presenting the shows for the 2011-12 season, and the building of a great new season of perfor-mances for 2012-13.

Ticket sales have set records for our organiza-tion and we are well on our way to accomplish-ing our sales goal for the year. Our fundraising has also set new records with $3.1 million of contributed income for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

We also enjoyed a very successful year with the Michael Feinstein Initiative and the Great American Songbook Vocal Competition. At the

same time, we provided a home for our seven great resident companies.

Along the way, we have been guided by the overall mission of our Center to provide world-class entertainment to the residents of Central Indiana and to be a great community asset for the citizens of Carmel. Our new startup orga-nization is well positioned to continue fulfilling that mission well into the future while relying less on government assistance through the com-ing years.

I have enjoyed serving this wonderful organi-zation and community while meeting so many great people in the process – people who have become good friends. Katrina and I will treasure this past year, including the experiences we had and the people we met.

Thank you, citizens of Carmel, for giving me this opportunity to serve.

Fond farewell as CEO

Commentary by Cheri Dick

If you’re like me, the names Marvin Ham-lisch, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Steven Sond-heim have a special place in your heart.

These three well-known and highly respected names are synonymous with great Broadway music, memorable storytelling, master crafts-manship and the pursuit of theatrical excellence.

Interestingly, these are also many of the same goals and attributes that have distinguished Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre for 98 years.

You can see a Broadway musical at lots of different local theatres. The stories will still reso-nate, and the music will make your heart sing. But, only shows at Civic Theatre are staged by a full-time staff of theatre professionals and a sophisticated production crew.

This translates into what is known in the theatre world as “production value”—a.k.a, eye-popping sets and costumes, dramatic lighting, stirring performances by talented actors and musicians, and the kind of cohesive, fast-paced storytelling that only a seasoned theatre director can deliver.

Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre is privileged to be staging a musical by each of these iconic composers during the coming season. We’ll open our year with “A Chorus Line” (Marvin Hamlisch). Back by demand, our holiday of-fering is “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor

Dreamcoat” (Andrew Lloyd Webber). And our season concludes in the spring of 2013 with “Into the Woods” (Steven Sondheim).

Combined, these three shows account for over 7,600 Broadway performances and 19 Tony Awards. Their creators, messengers Hamlisch, Webber and Sondheim, have won numerous Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, Golden Globes—and even a Pulitzer Prize. Their shows will be presented by Civic Theatre this season with the same commitment to excellence that each of these three composers routinely de-manded and demonstrated.

In a sentence, our goal at Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre is to do justice to their great work.

Single tickets for these three musicals, along with Civic’s two plays for the coming season, “The Lady in Black” and “The Fox in the Fair-way,” are on sale now. You’ll get one of the best seats in the house by ordering your tickets early. Call 317-843-3800 or order online at civicthe-atre.org.

Come, let us entertain you, inspire you, and delight you as only Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre can.

A season to remember

Virginia Senator and U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R) visited Carmel last week to offer his endorsement for Republican Con-gressional candidate Susan Brooks.

Brooks, a Carmel resident, is currently run-ning for Congress in Indiana’s 5th Congressio-nal District, which covers an area east and north of Indianapolis from Shelbyville to Huntington, including parts of Carmel, Noblesville and Fish-ers. Republican Dan Burton, who will retire at the end of this year, has represented the 5th Dis-trict since 2000, when it was redistricted from the 6th District.

Brooks is an executive at Ivy Tech Communi-ty College, and was previously the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana.

“During tough times, including after the 9/11 attacks and when unemployment exceeded 10 percent, Susan has demonstrated an ability to solve big problems,” Cantor said.

“Her unique combination of experience and her priority of restoring the promise of America – the dream of a good education, a good job

and a higher quality of life – to the next genera-tion of Americans will make her an excellent representative in Congress for Hoosiers in the 5th district.”

Brooks will face off against Democrat Scott Reske and Libertarian Chard Reid in the No-vember General Election.

Commentary by Jeff Worrell

The begging and pleading is complemented with colorful signs waved by energetic high school students in swimsuits. It is a scene that is familiar and hard for many to resist; especially if your car is dirty.

The Carmel High School Ambassador Show Choir Free Car Wash will once again make the motorized vehicles in our town shiny and sparkling clean. From 9 am to 4 pm on August 18th at the Carmel High School West Parking Lot, Ambassadors will clean and polish your car all while entertaining you with the sweet sounds of their latest competition set. Last year, the talented vocalists turned expert car washers de-grimed 270 cars. That is one car every 90 seconds! The singers will gladly wash anything and have done so, including RV’s, tow trucks, motorcycles and a fire truck. The Saturday in August tradition has been a routine for well over 15 years.

Technically, this major car washing event is absolutely FREE. That’s right, no admission fee. Your car will look like new and you will not be asked for your credit card. Whether by mir-acle or just due to good human nature, the Am-bassador Show Choir seems to always end the day with more money in their coffers than they started with. Through the generosity of people with filthy cars, last year they netted north of

$3700 dollars. By holding a FREE car wash, the Ambassadors walk away with enough money to pay for costumes and some travel expenses.

The kids do not undertake this project alone. The Ambassador Parent Club is famous for end-less support. There is an unwritten rule as each new class of parents take their shot at support-ing the kids by building and adding to what has come before. The goal is always to make better and achieve more while paying homage to the work and effort from parents who previously labored to set the bar high.

The high level of support from parents is not lost on the kids. Senior Ambassador Katie Camp said, “Everything that we achieve and every opportunity we have would not be pos-sible without the help of the parents. They are incredibly supportive and our group would not be what it is without them.”

So, don’t forget to work the Free Car Wash in to your schedule this Saturday. Not only will you end up with a car looking almost as good as when you drove it off the lot, you will get the rare chance to keep them singing.

Carmel Clay’s school resource officers enter the year as the nation’s 2012 Model Agency By Jordan Fischer • [email protected]

Carmel Clay’s school resource officers are used to keeping their eyes open, whether it’s for substance-abuse trends among students or possible safety risks at schools.

This year, however, all eyes will be watching what they’re doing, as the National Association of School Resource Officers named the Carmel Police Dept.’s School Resource Officer program its 2012 Model Agency.

The national award is given annually to a law enforcement agency that has shown excellence in several areas while imple-menting or maintaining a model school resource officer pro-gram. According to NASRO, recipients have shown a willingness to be proactive in their training, comprehensive in their poli-cies, demonstrated excellence in their daily operation, and have brought recognition to the SRO program.

Previous award winners have included departments such as Sacramento, CA, and Sioux Falls, SD, Police Departments.

“This award is a reflection of the dedication these officers com-mit to our school resource unit in their day-to-day activities; along with the team efforts between the Carmel Clay School Dis-trict and the Carmel Police Dept.,” said CPD Chief Tim Green. “We are proud of these Officers and all those involved in support-ing the SRO program.”

ResouRces foR studentsFounded in 2001, the CPD School Resource Officer program

began as a single SRO stationed at Carmel High School. The intention was for the schools and police deptartment to work together to increase security for students and faculty. Officers oversee safety plans and protocols, educate students and faculty and serve as “informal mentors” for students.

Since its founding, the SRO unit has grown to encompass five officers with a complete command structure: Lt. Jeff Horner, who oversees the unit; Sgt. Phil Hobson, stationed at Carmel High School; Officer Wendy Bodenhorn, stationed at Creekside Middle School; Officer DJ Schoeff, stationed at Carmel Middle

School; and Officer Greg Dewald, stationed at Clay Middle School. Middle school officers are also responsible for each of the “feeder” elementary schools.

“In the past, kids in general did not have a lot of contact with law enforcement,” said Hobson. “This program sort of addresses that and reinforces positive experiences with law enforcement.”

Officers engage students with a “triad approach,” according to Schoeff.

“We’re law enforcement, we’re informal councilors and we’re edu-cators,” he said. “The education aspect is drug education and safety lessons in the classrooms. And then we do a lot of mentoring outside of classrooms to help (students) make good decisions in their lives.

“When you’re talking about school-aged kids, you’re talking about decision-making in general,” Schoeff said. “Teaching kids that there are consequences for their actions is something we’re consistently working on. And in some ways, I think it’s an uphill battle because our society doesn’t necessarily follow that.”

To help officers connect with kids so the lessons they attempt to teach will hit home, much of their time is dedicated to build-ing relationships with students, according to Bodenhorn. The

officers said they’ve said positive results from their increased vis-ibility in schools, and from participation in extra-curricular ac-tivities as well. Dewald, for example, helps coach the Clay Middle School boys’ basketball team.

“I think it helps because I get to know the kids who are going to be the athletes, the quote-unquote ‘popular kids,’” Dewald said. “I’m riding along on the bus with them, kind of keeping them in line.”

For some officers, the SRO-student relationship has even con-tinued after graduation.

“I actually had an ex-student who had graduated come to my office to turn himself in on a warrant,” Hobson said.

Keeping up with KidsAlong with updating security plans for each school every year,

the SRO unit also examines trends on crime and drug use in the community and the student demographic.

“We always evaluate issues that are affecting our kids and try to tailor our curriculum to that,” Hobson said.

Officers say they hope programs like DARE, which stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education, and “It’s Party Time and It’s No Game,” a roleplaying simulation given to middle school students, will help reinforce to students that serious, long-term effects often accompany their decisions to use drugs or alcohol. The recent death of CHS graduate Brett Finbloom of apparent alcohol poisoning underscores the importance of the programs, according to officers, as nowadays kids have access not only to alcohol, but to prescription drugs and narcotics.

“One thing that I’ve always said is that the problems you have in your community are reflected in your school system,” Hobson said. “Prescription drug abuse is something that we’re definitely seeing trending.”

As the school year commences, the officers said they encourage any students or parents looking for resources inside or outside of school to contact them; information to do so for each school can be found online at ccs.k12.in.us/district/student-services/student-officers.

VIEWS Opinion

It is our position that traditional fundrais-ing tactics used by school, sports, church and youth groups are losing their effective-ness. We are growing tired of being guilted by well-meaning children and their adult counterparts into buying twenty-dollar magazine subscriptions, thirty-dollar bags of popcorn and overpriced wrapping paper.

While the Girl Scouts are the clear victors in offering tasty cookies for an affordable $3.50 a box, consumers are getting less for their dollar due to the rising cost of produc-tion. Most members of the community are glad to donate a few dollars towards these causes. Lately, it seems that the real winners in the fundraising game are the manufactur-ers and publishers who also benefit from the sale of these items.

Even though many school PTO’s have listened and are now offering a one-time donation option, it seems that we are still constantly solicited to buy goods, trade-in box tops, and buy raffle tickets, just to name a few. Fundraising is only going to grow and it will likely become more challenging for these groups to cash in during this weak-ened economy. If these organizations could just spare us the “stuff,” they may get more cash in return, which would benefit their cause more efficiently.

Commentary by terry anker

How do I love Thee, let me count the ways. When Elizabeth Barrett Browning penned

the (now famous) line, one could imagine that she was yet another romantic poet in a time of many romantic poets. But this particular phrase has held sway in the some 17 decades or so since it first found its way from creator to audience. Why? Certainly it resonates as we consider the ways in which we share our love with another. But doesn’t it also get at our innate desire to create lists?

We list our top movie picks. We keep long lists of things to pick-up at the market. We create imaginary buckets into which to com-pile our lists of things to see and do before we die. We list our friends and our enemies. We list it all. But too often, doesn’t the list become the object in itself? The act of creat-ing the list becomes a substitute for actually accomplishing anything on it.

Maybe list making is simply another mark of the over-achievement driven set among us. Once, I actually made a list of all the lists that I needed to make. But aren’t lists most effec-tive when they are used as elemental tools – as simple pneumonics to keep us on track and prevent distraction?

They are tidy devices to keep us from forgetting the point of our mission and to extend the limited powers of our own minds. Ultimately, lists are useful and authoritative mechanisms to get more done and to improve recall. Yet, they are not a substitute for doing. We are still accountable to ourselves (if not the list) to actually watch the movies, buy the groceries and jump out of an airplane.

Let me count the ways

He was way too young, as were so many before him. He had everything going for him, as did so many before him. That Brett Finbloom, 18, of Carmel lost his life in an apparent binge-drinking incident makes us incredibly sad for his family, friends and all those in our communities who have lost loved ones and friends to similar tragic circumstances, so this isn’t about geography. The Web site, teenalcoholabuse.us, tells us approxi-mately 5,000 teens die every year as a result of alcohol use, and we also learned that teens are more likely than adults to consume too much when they are in possession of alcohol, increas-ing the risk of accidents. The education, begun at home and in schools as early as elementary-school age, is there. Evidence is there. It’s all very black and white. So it’s absolutely confounding when it happens. Look, we were imbibing youth once upon a time. We, as now with our own chil-dren and relatives, believed we were invincible. Loss. Devastation. Heartbreak. Why does this happen? Independence. Experimentation. A join-the-party posture. Lose your cares. But, lose your life? Let’s hope and pray this young man did not die in vain as we keep his family and friends in our hearts and prayers.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

School is upon us, my friends, and I, for one, am thrilled! Can I get a “Whoop, whoop!”? See, as much as I love summer vacation (and need a break from the grueling parenting demands of four not-always-so-well-organized children), I am usually ready for it to be over after approxi-mately five weeks. ’Cause that’s the time it takes for my beautifully constructed summer plan to be ruined.

Take the computer/Xbox restrictions. In June, my husband and I monitored our kids’ elec-tronic playtime very closely to ensure minimum brain-cell damage and muscle atrophy. But as the heat set in and the novelty of swimming in our neighborhood pool wore off, our commit-ment to occasional Amish-style living bit the dust, much like my drought-stricken petunias.

As for the chore list, it fared only somewhat better. Between a beach vacation and grand-parent visits, sport camps and sleepovers, we weren’t here enough to make much of a mess, and frankly, I just stopped caring whose night it was for dishes. Let’s order pizza!

We continued to have movie night approxi-mately once a week, and were treated to some downright awful viewings. Doo and I, still slug-ging through the Top 100 Films of All Time, wasted more than four hours of our lives with Raging Bull and Cabaret (sans kids as both are

R-rated) and decided we’d rather participate in a marathon loop of our daughter’s choice, Break-ing Dawn, before ever seeing either of those again. Painful. That’s truly saying something if you’ve seen any of the Twilight movies!

And the summer reading program I so boldly promoted? It never even got to commit-tee. I completed my eight books and won an always-appreciated fine reduction coupon from the library, but I don’t think any of my kids finished one stinkin’ book. But, again, at some point around July 1, I couldn’t have cared less. They’re supposed to be on break, right? They’re supposed to be enjoying time away from school-work. It’s OK if they don’t want to read. [Yes, I actually convinced myself that I was helping rejuvenate my children’s abused minds through video games. Yikes.]

So, I’m ready for school to begin. I’m ready for the structure and routine that only bus stops and math homework can provide. I’m ready to put away the stupid sunscreen, track down the moldy lunchboxes, and get back to the controlled world of the academic calendar year. I’m ready to say farewell to Summer 2012. Peace out.

Glad summer is over

A Democrat in CarmelFrom the “moderate” Side by Jim Blessing

A good friend of mine (a notorious Cardinal fan) recently asked, “Jim, what is rarer than a Chicago Cub World Series victory?” His answer: a Democrat in Carmel.

Well, I am a Democrat (and a Cubs fan), and sometimes in the past I have felt like this is true. However, the times are a-changin’, as evidenced by President Obama getting 38.5 percent of the 2008 vote in Hamilton County.

Instead, what now seems rarer than a Demo-crat in Carmel is a Moderate Republican. Recent-ly, Tea Party “Republican” Richard Mourdock beat long-time Senator Richard Lugar in the Republican primary. Lugar has served Hoosiers in the Senate since 1977 and had developed a na-tional reputation for integrity and expertise, espe-cially in foreign policy. Don’t tell my Democratic friends, but I even voted for him a few times.

Mourdock was able to pin Lugar with the horrible moniker of “Moderate,” because he had actually practiced bi-partisanship in the interest of governing. After his victory, Mour-dock publicly stated that there was too much bi-partisanship in Congress and pledged not to compromise with Democrats. Of course, the inability to compromise is one of the major rea-sons Americans give Congress a favorable rating of less than 10 percent.

In 2011, newly elected Tea Party “Republi-

cans” reportedly leaned heavily on Speaker of the House John Boehner to resist compromising with President Obama on a proposed multi-trillion dollar deficit reduction proposal. While a significant majority of the proposed reduction came from spending cuts, it also required a compromise. President Obama wanted to end the temporary Bush tax rate of 35% for couples on incomes over $250,000 and take it back to 39.6%. Tea Party “Republicans” like Mourdock believe that this balanced type of deficit reduc-tion action, even when accompanied by pre-dominant spending cuts, is just not acceptable.

Has the Republican Party always held this view in order to avoid compromise in deriving bi-partisan solutions? And who was the last Re-publican president who achieved an annual sur-plus during a 12-month period during his term?

The last Republican president who achieved budget surpluses was Dwight Eisenhower, in 1956, 1957 and 1960. I noticed that a key fac-tor in Eisenhower’s surpluses was that he resisted calls for tax cuts and kept the tax rate at 91% for income over $100,000. Gee, that makes a tax rate of 39.5% on income over $250,000 look pretty reasonable, doesn’t it?

Your life’s a messCommentary by Dick Wolfsie

I’m sure you remember when you first heard as a youngster that the average American family had one and a half cars and two and a half kids. At first, this seemed bizarre – that is, until the Volkswagen Beetle came out, and then that car number started to make a little sense.

As for the “two and a half kids” thing, that was a head scratcher. I mean, you can’t have half a kid. Can you? But nowadays, with parents obsessed with their children’s athletic achievements and the availability of growth-stimulating hormones, it’s not unheard of to be the proud parent of a six-foot-nine eighth-grader. That would, in fact, be a kid and a half.

Information on the average American family has traditionally been focused on a certain kind of statistics: TVs, microwaves, computers, and even handguns, have been painstakingly docu-mented in the home. Some new research I came across has delved into a much more important set of data: how much crapola we have in our houses. And where we put it.

In their book At Home in the 21st Century, UCLA archeologists went to 32 homes to careful-ly record how much junk people had. As George Carlin famously observed, “A house is just a pile of stuff with a cover on it.”

In the course of their interview process, scien-tists tabulated results from closets where women

keep their shoes, chests where kids stockpile toys, and shelves where books pile up. The scientists were shocked at how much people accumulate and where they squirrel it away. In the course of their work, the researchers took more than 20,000 photographs. They printed them at home, stuffed most them into their kitchen drawers and stuck their favorites on the refrigerator doors.

Those same researchers also wanted to know what kinds of food people had stored. They took out their notebooks, opened 32 refrigerator doors and just stared at what was inside. I’ve been do-ing this my whole life and I have no training in statistical research.

The study included digging through people’s storage units, peering into basement crawl spaces, checking out attics and scrutinizing what had been shoved under beds. Apparently, the average household contains over 10,000 possessions.

You might be interested to know that the average house has seven mirrors. Oh, you’re not interested? How about this: The typical guy has two DVDs of the movie Caddyshack. Okay, that’s not true; it was just my last desperate attempt to make this column amusing.

Since March, Bill Niemeyer, owner of Carmel’s Atlas Fantasy Art House, has been working to bring fantasy and science fiction artists to Central Indiana. The artists visit the gallery, meet the public and give a demonstra-tion. These events have begun to slowly cement Central Indiana as a center for the art of the

fantastic.“It’s kind of like an art

movement,” said Niemeyer. “It’s all about bringing aware-ness to this kind of art in the Midwest. The artists are more than happy to come out and represent the art.”

Dave Seeley, a digital artist and painter who has worked with Lucasfilm and Wizards of the Coast, appeared at Niemeyer’s event last Saturday at Shiraz Wine Experience & Art Café in Carmel. This appearance was the first of two Niemeyer has scheduled for the month of August.

“I was an architect for about a dozen years. When my wife and I found out she was pregnant, I decided I wanted to be a more active parent and made the jump to art,” said Seeley. “Art has been my main gig for almost 16 years now.”

Seeley’s art is a unique blend of dramatic architecture, photorealistic characters and painterly im-ages. The result is a blend of styles that is as visually striking as it is detailed.

“Almost everything I do starts with photo collage. I have a stylistic range with things

that look more painted and things that look more photorealistic,” said Seeley. “I love chaos in images.”

Jeremy Caniglia, a gothic painter, is the sec-ond artist appearing this month. Over the years, he has worked with Stephen King, Ray Brad-bury and many other great fantasy authors.

“Caniglia has a darker side to most of his art. It tends to be a darker type of realism. I wouldn’t even necessarily always call it fantasy

art,” said Niemeyer.Caniglia’s style is considerably darker and

more organic than that of Seeley. A number of his paintings emphasize life, death, and mo-ments of extreme emotion, triumph and defeat.

With these types of events, Niemeyer has created a community of art lovers that have come to embrace the world of fantasy and sci-ence fiction art.

“You are seeing much more of this art today. More collectors are moving towards this kind of art. Most of it is now part of pop culture. These artists have done book covers, album art and film work that is very recognizable,” said Niemeyer.

artist Jeremy Caniglia is giving a lecture on the history of the art of the fantastic at 4 p.m. this Saturday at Shiraz Wine experience & art Café (404 W. main St., Carmel). Caniglia and Seeley’s art is currently on dis-play at the atlas Fantasy art House (246 W. main St., Carmel).

“Darksiders 2” – Avail-able in stores today, Death, one of the legendary Four Horsemen of the Apoca-lypse, embarks on a quest to under Armageddon in this sequel to the well received Darksiders. Xbox 360, Play-

station 3 and PC – $60.

“Southern air” by yellowcard – In stores and available for download today, alternative rock band Yellowcard returns with its first studio album since early 2011 including the songs “Awakening” and “Surface of the Sun.”

review by tania roudebush Owner, Black Dog Books

As a new football season is about to begin, I highly recommend Hunter Smith and Darrin Gray’s new book, “The Jersey Effect”. It’s about faith, football and keeping sports in perspective of life.

Hunter Smith draws on his experiences play-ing football during college for Notre Dame and as the Indianapolis Colts’ punter for 10 years. Gray and Smith include testimonies from seven players and three coaches for the Indianapolis Colts.

Former Coach Tony Dungy suggests that young people need to be encouraged to grow in four areas: academically, socially, athletically and spiritually. He maintains that too often athletics are emphasized over the other areas and a couple of them take precedence when all four are needed.

Hunter Smith models the power of choosing friends who share one’s spiritual values, point us in the right direction when needed

and wholeheartedly support us.The Jersey Effect’s message can be ap-

plied to any walk of life. It is especially applicable to young people and families

with sports playing a large part of their lives.

Signed copies of the Jersey Effect are available at Black Dog Books, 115 S. Main Street in Zionsville. For hours and information, visit www.BlackDogBooksIN.com.

NEW HOPE FOR CHILDRENwith Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD

ASD Treatment Center of Indiana | 317-818-0760 | www.AutismTreatmentClinics.com

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing.

Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.”- Renee and Ted Zlotopolski, Arnold, MO

“While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments. Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

Commentary by Jennifer Jones

Summer’s string of scorching days makes swimming even more inviting. While swimming is a great way to cool off, kids who spend a lot of time in the water, especially underwater, can experience inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal. This is medically referred to as otitis ex-terna, but commonly known as “swimmer’s ear.”

Unlike middle ear infections that occur be-hind the eardrum, otitis externa affects the outer parts of the ear. The ear canal and outer ear can become painful and inflamed, usually from ir-ritants such as water, cotton swabs and other foreign objects, or from scratching too hard. With swimmer’s ear, the most common symp-tom is pain, although itching and redness may also occur. One way to tell if the pain is due to swimmer’s ear is to wiggle or pull on the ear. If this causes pain, it’s likely swimmer’s ear; if not, it could be a middle ear infection.

If your child has swimmer’s ear, your doctor likely will prescribe ear drops with a steroid to be applied several times a day. The pain should subside quickly, but swimming is generally dis-couraged while using the drops.

Some children and adults are more prone to

swimmer’s ear than others. Keeping the ears as dry as possible will help prevent the condition. Tilting the head and drying ears with a towel after swimming is a good way to avoid water be-ing trapped in the ears. Drying ears with a hair dryer on the coolest setting also works. For chil-dren experiencing frequent cases of swimmer’s ear, a swim cap, ear plugs or over-the-counter ear drying drops are often helpful.

For general ear care, refrain from clearing the ear wax from ears. Wax provides a natural pro-tective barrier and helps prevent infection.

Hoosier health officials have now confirmed 113 cases of variant influenza A (H3N2v), impacting 18 counties statewide – including Hamilton County – with more cases expected to be confirmed.

The Indiana State Dept. of Health has set up a call center to answer the general public’s questions regarding variant influenza A. The call center is open 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday. The call center telephone num-ber is (877) 826-0011.

Flu symptoms usually include fever and re-

spiratory symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, and runny nose, and possibly other symptoms, such as body aches, nausea or vomiting, or diar-rhea. Symptoms may last anywhere from three to eight days.

Health officials have not determined per-son to person transmission at this time, but continue to investigate the possibility. Variant Influenza A virus can be directly transmit-ted from swine to people and from people to swine. Influenza viruses are not transmitted by eating pork and pork products.

Additional information regarding influenza can be found online at www.in.gov/isdh/25462.htm.

Question from kortney P. from noblesville:I have four vehicles and four people driving in my family. I want to make sure I’m doing every-thing I can to get the best price. Any tips?response from Jamie ianigro:

The first thing you need to do is make sure you have an independent insurance agent helping you find the right coverage for you. Independent insurance agents have access to multiple carriers and will be able to find the right coverages at the best price by checking all of them. The key is finding the right balance of coverage and price. Your independent agent will be able to explain what you are sacrificing as you adjust coverages to get a lower price (unlike get-ting your insurance from the internet).

There are also a couple of things to keep in mind if you have young drivers on your policy. Make sure that your young driver is assigned to the correct vehicle. The difference between a teenager being the primary driver on a Toyota Camry versus being the primary on a new Mer-cedes is significant. Make sure your agent knows if your child is a good student also. Many carri-ers give a discount for young drivers that stay on the honor roll.

You can also double check that your vehicles are listed properly on your insurance policy. Look over your policy to make sure you are receiving a credit if your vehicle has an alarm or security system. Make sure that your yearly driving estimates are still accurate. Changing the amount you drive each year can alter your premium. You should also make sure that your coverages reflect the value of the vehicle you are insuring. For example, it doesn’t make much sense to have full coverage insurance with a $1000 deductible on a vehicle that is only worth $2,000. A mistake like that adds unnecessary premium to your policy.

The last thing you need to do is make sure you are maximizing your policy discounts. A multi-policy discount is probably the most valu-able discount that people miss out on. You can qualify for this even if you don’t own a home. Pairing a renter’s insurance policy OR a home-owners insurance policy with your auto policy will qualify you for a great discount.

Finding the right balance of auto coverage and cost

The Carmel Business Leader, in partnership with Current Publishing, publisher of Current in Carmel, will present a CEO Boot Camp and the Power of Small Group Dynamics this month.

The boot camp, which will take place Aug. 28, will feature keynote speakers Jim Muehlhau-sen and Howard Hubler.

Muehlhausen, CPA, JD, the founder of the Business Model Institute and the author of “The 51 Fatal Business Errors … and How to Avoid Them,” will speak on the most grievous errors he sees businesses commit. He started his career by becoming the youngest franchisee in Meineke Discount Muffler his-tory while attending Indiana University School of Law. Over the past nine years, he has given nearly 4,000 face-to-face coaching sessions to business owners across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Muehlhausen’s clients have been recognized with the Indiana Blue Chip Award, as Ernest & Young Entrepre-neur of the Year finalists and NAWBO Business-women of the Year. He served previously as an adjunct professor of business at the University of Indianapolis.

Hubler, a partner and owner of the Hubler Automotive Group, which owns 10 locations in Central Indiana and employs 550 people, will speak on “The New Normal.”

“A lot of people say when things get better I’m going to do this or that,” Hubler said. “My

presentation will say, things aren’t going to get better. If they wait for that, they’re going to go broke. So my presentation is about making it in the new normal.”

Hubler holds a Masters degree in administration from Indiana University, and has more than 30

years of “on-the-job” training. In the last several years he has been active as a speaker, columnist and business coach – offering CEOs and small business owners the benefits of the wisdom he’s gained from three decades of successes and failures.

The CEO Boot Camp will be held from 7:30-9:30 a.m. Aug. 28 at Kincaid’s Restaurant, 14159 Clay Terrace Blvd., Carmel. Space is lim-ited to the first 50 applicants, and is intended for CEOs and general managers. For more information, or to register for the event, contact Heather Grey at [email protected].

LIFESTYLE SpiritualityPlaying chicken with God

Commentary by Bob Walters

“The hard part about playing chicken is knowing when to flinch.” – Capt. Bart Man-cuso, The Hunt for Red October

“Chicken” is a game of irresistible forces lunging headlong toward immoveable objects. Feigning death before dishonor, both force and object, praying that the other flinches first.

And so it is in religious “values” conversations these days. Talk about God and generalities; you might get away with it. Talk about God and specific human behaviors; you better buckle up and hang on. For example...

On Wednesday July 4, Hobby Lobby (an overtly Christian company and retailer) ran full-page advertisements headlined, “In God We Trust,” in hundreds of American newspapers. The ad displayed quotes from American history’s greatest thinkers on the absolute necessity of faith, religion, and Christianity in American de-mocracy and freedom (see “Holiday Messages” at hobbylobby.com).

The July 4 ad was on point, wise, patriotic, devout, appreciated – and despite its daring, straight-up God and Country theme, it caused no hue and cry.

By late July, America had nearly come apart at the seams over Chik-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s evenly paced remarks on American same-sex marriage, and God’s judgment, on a mid-July

Saturday afternoon radio talk show.A Saturday afternoon radio talk show. Does

that scream “obscure” to anyone but me? The show’s host is Dan Coleman, but it was only due to the Washington Post’s biting, agenda-driven, culture war follow-up coverage that ev-erybody in America actually heard about it.

I am shocked (sarcasm) to find out that a Christian CEO of an overtly Christian-values company appearing on a traditional values talk show said that he supports Christian family values and has a faithful concern about God’s judgment. That’s what I’d expect a guy like that to say. The ensuing “story” isn’t so much real “news” as a media-fueled purpose pitch. Real news is what’s not supposed to happen. The endless anti-Christian squawk from the marry-whomever crowd? That was predictable. The record sales for Chik-Fil-A? That’s people voting with their wallets.

If you’re looking for a unique vacation, why not try a small ship cruise? There are a variety of cruise lines with a wide offering of itineraries available. Explore the Americas, Europe, Tahiti, the Caribbean and more. Read on to learn about the advantages of a small ship cruise.

Personal touch. Small ships typically hold anywhere from 36-96 passengers. Guests really get to know one another, the captain, crew and even the chef. Meals are informal with open seating, and entertainment and cuisine tend to be local. Itineraries can be flexible based on pas-senger preferences and area offerings.

more inclusions. Most small ships have in-clusions large ships don’t offer. Daily excursions, wine and spirits, use of kayaks or bicycles and sometimes even a massage are included in the price of your trip. Local guides can answer des-tination questions, and onboard experts often accompany you on your excursions.

unique excursions. Small ships have access to ports that can’t accommodate larger ships. This allows guests a very different experience. You may be able to get really close to watch a glacier calve, or paddle board in a remote cove that is other-wise inaccessible. In addition, excursions are ex-clusive; you may learn to play the steel drums in Honduras, or set anchor in the beautiful Princess Louisa Inlet and kayak to shore for a hike.

relaxed atmosphere. Small ships provide a

great mix of adventure, culture and relaxation. Dinners are informal, the atmosphere is laid back and the excursions are one of a kind. If you prefer to read a book instead of exploring the city, go for it. Service is typically top-notch, but exploring your destination is truly the focus of a small ship cruise.

A small ship won’t have the bells and whistles of a large ocean liner, but it will give you a unique adventure and memorable vacation.

Small ship cruises: An experience like no other

LIFESTYLE Design

Commentary by vicky earley

You know you want a polished look, and you would like to know that the investment will be a wise one. You know enough to know that this is not your area of expertise. This is probably the time to call in an interior designer.

If you have not used a designer before, it re-ally can be intimidating. The fear and mystery can be enough to send a homeowner on a solo spiral down the interior design hill.

To make matters even more challenging, the best interior decorators are one part artist, one part business mind, one part circus master, one part visionary, and another part translator. You can’t simply Google “designer” and come up with a name that will fit your needs.

While the most obvious trait to consider is artistic ability and sense of style, the most im-portant element is personality. If you don’t click with the designer, the room won’t work out.

A close bond develops during the design pro-cess, so first and foremost, the designer has to mesh with you, your family, and your lifestyle. Trust is essential on so many levels.

Just as important, this must be a person who asks questions and listens to the answers. A good decorator should constantly ‘probe’ in order to solicit a vision for the final product. If questions are not being posed, it is a sign that you are not the focus.

Before committing to a designer, ask yourself the following:

• Do I feel totally comfortable with this per-son or do I feel intimidated? Remember, you will be spending lots of time with this person, so a level of rapport is essential.

• Does this person seem genuinely interested in my wishes? Grab your purse and run

as fast as you can from any cookie-cutter decorator who creates the same look over and over again.

• Is he or she clear about the costs involved? There should be a clear understanding of how fees will be charged in advance. Sur-prises are not a good thing in this situation.

This is the start of a long-term relationship with a person who will have access to per-sonal aspects of your life, so these factors are imperative.

Relationships between decorators and clients can be as interactive or as hands-off as the client wishes… Clients must take initiative and let the designer know just how involved they want to be.

Unless the designer selected is totally and completely devoid of talent, the benefits will far outweigh the cost. Avoiding one mistake could be worth the entire consultation fee! Project errors can be costly.

When interviewing a potential designer can-didate, expect to be quoted an hourly rate of $75 and up. Additionally, some decorators will quote a flat fee based on a needs analysis. The ideal situation is to look for a decorator who is flexible to the needs of a client.

Working with a decorator opens up sources that are typically closed to the general public. Also, designers have a resource list of talented labor that they can readily tap into as well as the ability to negotiate on behalf of a client.

It’s time to call in a pro

What’s Your Condition?

As summer is winding down, and kids are going back to school, have you considered how your hair fared over the summer? If you’re like me, your hair may have been damaged from too much sun, chlorine or saltwater. Here are some tips on how to turn things around for this fall:

1. Ask your stylist about in-salon hair conditioning treatments. Professional conditioning treatments can virtually reverse the ravages of summer-induced damage. Your stylist can recom-mend a regular regimen over the next several weeks to almost completely restore the integrity of your hair.

2. Get a good, healthy trim. It is time to start thinking about your new fall hair style anyway. While you are at it, get some of the damaged ends cut off. Your hair will again feel healthy and vibrant with just a nice trim.

3. Start using a leave in conditioner on a daily basis. Get in the habit now to help promote healthy, hydrated hair all year long!

Remember, when all that fun in the sun starts to take its toll, it is important to take care of your tresses, after all it is the most important accessory you own! A stylist at Salon 01 would be happy to recommend an in-salon and take home conditioner that is right for you!

Health Bene�ts of Massage

Massages are relaxing, and a nice way to have your stress melt away, but did you know that there are also health bene�ts to having regular massages?

First, massages help relieve and prevent muscle cramps, and reduce tension and anxiety. However, you may be unaware that massages also stimulate the lymphatic system in your body which helps carry away oxidants and other waste products from your muscles.

Now, next time you are in need of some stress relief, rest assured that you are not being vain, but improving your overall health! Call 317-580-0101 to book your appointment with Michael, our experience therapist today!

Commentary by randy Sorrell

Creating shade in outdoor living spaces is becoming more appropriate than ever. Recent extreme temperatures have prompted an im-pressive volume of public conversations regarding shade strategies. Fortu-nately, many solu-tions exist and it’s often a marriage of tactics that are most effective in helping us develop smart sun consumption habits.

PerGoLaThis Latin word, borrowed from the Ital-

ian term “pergola,” refers to a protective eave extending from a house. Initially, mid 1600s renditions consisted primarily of flexible willow shoots that were transformed into long, covered, arched walkways. When densely planted with vines, a completely shaded area impervious to rain was created. Willow shoots soon graduated to more formal structures with grand stone col-umns, often of massive scale.

muSCuLar CoLumnS, SHaDoWS, romanCe

The Villages of West Clay project boasts a large pergola attached to the home, offering pro-tection from the harsh sun for both the abbrevi-ated grill station /landing and previously baked inside dining area. This modern mid-west con-struction has muscular 8-by-8 cedar columns, smartly trimmed and detailed to echo those in the home. Most homeowners initially prefer the raw cedar finish…until painted. It legitimizes the “ceiling” structure and helps it behave as a brilliant extension of your home.

A soothing water feature, accented with Indi-ana granite boulders and native grasses, invites guests to relax. An abbreviated two-post pergola hangs above a lower patio entertaining counter, and is complimented by a total shade-producing

lanais. Shade trees will help as their dappled canopies mature.

Perhaps it’s the pergola’s Italian heritage that

prompts the romantic twist. Maybe it’s the gen-eral mood of the space we create, and the open breeze, that produces dancing shadows from the overhead architecture. But, the mood of any outdoor living area is dramatically impacted by the romance of a pergola.

Commentary by David Decker

Cabinets come in all shapes and sizes. You can get stocked cabinets, custom cabinets and even semi-custom cabinets. In fact, depending on your space, needs, and budget, finding the right balance of function, quality, and price is just a matter of planning.

When beginning to brainstorm your new or remodeled kitchen layout, you will probably come across a design principle called the “work triangle.” This is a concept that dictates that each working area, including the refrigerator, sink, and cooking appliances, should be at least four feet but no more than nine or 10 feet apart. Ideally, this will economize the cook’s traffic pat-tern while keeping others out of the triangle.

SiZeStock cabinets usually come in 3 inch width

increments. The standard for base cabinets (the ones countertops go on) is 24 inches deep and 34.5 inches tall. Upper cabinets are usually 12 inches deep and either 30 or 42 inches tall. If your project can be designed to accommodate stock cabinets, you may be able to save a few dollars.

Semi-custom cabinets are also pre-manufac-tured cabinets that provide a great value with more options than Stock cabinets. An expanded range of color finishes and accessories are avail-able for Semi-custom cabinetry.

Custom cabinets are, in general, more ex-pensive, but you should not necessarily think of them as a luxury. For instance, elevating or rais-ing a dishwasher within a custom cabinet would eliminate the need to bend all the way over to fill or empty it, which is ideal for those who suf-fer from joint pain, back pain, and, well, age.

PLanninG For BuDGetEach project is different, but cabinets can

easily account for anywhere between 25–50 per-cent of a remodel project’s total cost. You should also consider that new cabinets and countertops alone would be a dramatic facelift or upgrade to any room.

• Stock cabinets provide the lowest cost option.

• Semi-custom cabinets provide more op-tions and are what we consider a better value than stock cabinets.

• Custom Cabinets may come with a higher price tag, but they also afford you the most possibilities and options — and depending on your remodel values, they might be the right choice.

The options can be endless and a bit over-whelming. You may find you aren’t sure which route to take as you may not know what is available. That’s why seeking out a good kitchen designer can be essential when searching for the right balance of design, quality, and price for projects of all budgets.
